Cheeseboy (!) over at the DC Sports Bog has a post today titled "Caps Fans vs. Philly Fans." Steinberg takes some jabs at our loyal fanbase and then talks to former Flyer Donald Brashear about whether he's ever witnessed any crazy activity in Philly.
"No, but you always hear about it," he said. "It's mostly in
football. It's not that bad, it's just they can rock that building and
get the building going. They like the physical play and they like the
rough stuff. Philly does play physical, and they've always been a physical team, so we're gonna have to be ready to play physical."
I'll say this. I was at a Caps game on a Friday night in November and it appeared as if maybe 10,000 people were in the Verizon Center. We showed up 10 minutes before the game and sat 12 rows off the ice. Flyers fans show up every night. It's not even worth discussing. Any city can get excited about the playoffs.
He then goes on to ponder whether DC is a "hockey town." Again, DC may be a hockey town but I'd guess it's still a football town. But no matter what team gets the most love in DC, it's still a second rate sports city in terms of real fans.

Accord on Zhao Funeral Is Reported in China
By JOSEPH KAHN
Published: January 27, 2005
Chinese officials and the family of Zhao Ziyang, the late Communist Party chief, have agreed to hold a public burial service for Mr. Zhao on Saturday, resolving a prolonged standoff, people who had been told about the arrangement said Thursday.
The agreement between top Communist Party officials and the children of Mr. Zhao is a step toward resolving the political tensions that arose after the death of the former prime minister and party chief, who was purged after opposing the 1989 crackdown on dissent.
The delay in making burial arrangements -- Mr. Zhao died Jan. 17 -- reflects intense bargaining between Mr. Zhao's family and the leadership, and perhaps within the leadership, over the best way to honor an architect of China's economic reform in the 1980's who became an unlikely icon of dissent after he lost power, people informed about the talks said.
They said the negotiations were supervised by Wen Jiabao, a former top aide to Mr. Zhao who is now China's prime minister.
A public ''farewell ceremony for the body'' would be held Saturday morning at the Babaoshan Cemetery in Western Beijing, where many ranking Communist Party officials are buried.
Under the terms of an agreement with the government, the family can invite many of Mr. Zhao's former colleagues and friends, as well as some opposition figures, the people said.
The government will issue the traditional official ''life assessment'' of Mr. Zhao that seems likely to emphasize the ''grave mistakes'' he made in 1989, when he was accused of seeking to split the Communist Party. But in a modest compromise, the assessment will be released by the New China News Agency after the burial service rather than be presented at the service itself, the people said.

The new Colin Farrell-starring thriller Dead Man Down opens in Irish cinemas today, Friday May 3. RTÉ TEN's Harry Guerin explains what you're letting yourself in for.
A couple of years back, Gerard Butler starred in an absolute stinker of a revenge thriller called Law-Abiding Citizen, a movie so ridiculous that some still haven't forgiven themselves for not standing up hands-on-hips in the cinema and shouting "Is this actually happening?!" to their fellow sufferers in the dark.
Well, there's the chance to right that wrong with Dead Man Down, an equally whiffy slice of get-even gung-ho, although you may get even more satisfaction by just saving your money.
'We're going to leave this film very fast and never look back...'
Set in the razor-less world of New York gangsters, Colin Farrell plays Victor, a Hungarian (alarm bell one - it doesn't sound alone) enforcer who works for Alphonse Hoyt (Terrence Howard). Hoyt is on the receiving end of anonymous threats and photo jigsaws and is saying everything to his cronies at five miles an hour through gritted teeth.
The gang tries to find out who's keeping the city's courier sector in business, but Victor is also preoccupied with Beatrice (Noomi Rapace), his neighbour from across the hall. Like Victor, Beatrice is one of life's lost souls with more baggage than the suitcase shop on O'Connell Street and - to borrow a line from an ancient sage who knew a thing or two about body counts - when they met it was moider.
Set in the razor-less world of New York gangsters
Dead Man Down is co-produced by WWE Films, the movie arm of the wrestling empire, and you'd get a more convincing story on an episode of Saturday shape-throwing, and feel better about yourself for watching. What's so bizarre is that the talent assembled would suggest a fine thriller: director Niels Arden Oplev was the man behind the lens for the original, Rapace-starring Swedish adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Their reunion here, however, sees them and the rest of a heavyweight cast losing their way - it's just a mercy that no-one did themselves a bad injury falling into the plot crater at the centre of the film.
While Farrell and Rapace have real chemistry in the quieter scenes, watching one of our own waste his talent on the rest of this nonsense is the cinematic emotional equivalent of Ireland conceding a goal in the 90th minute, with the ending here even more ridiculous than anything you've ever seen in our six-yard box.
The great rule of thumb is the more posters you see the bigger, or worse, the movie. There's been a lot of advertising for Dead Man Down.

Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has appealed to Labour and Conservative supporters to vote yes in the independence referendum, stating that the decision "transcends party politics".
During a speech at St Andrews University, Ms Sturgeon told her audience that voters did not need to back the SNP to support independence.
She stated that anecdotal evidence suggested there was already "a pronounced movement" away from a no vote among traditional Labour supporters.
Loading article content
During a speech to an audience composed of members of the public, university academics and staff, she argued that the "transformational potential of independence" was the "over-riding" reason to vote yes on September 18.
"And it should be a reason to vote yes, regardless of what party you vote for," Ms Sturgeon said.
She continued: "We all want Scotland to succeed - no party has a monopoly on that ambition.
"If you accept the principle that the best way of ensuring success is to give ourselves the powers that help determine it, then it doesn't matter whether or not you support the SNP or our specific plans for using those powers."
She added: "Party loyalty should not be a decisive factor in this debate.
"Indeed, I would have thought that for most Tory voters the idea of a parliament that has the power not just to spend money but also responsibility to raise it and be accountable for how it does so, would be inherently appealing."
Speaking after her speech and a question-and-answer session with the audience, Ms Sturgeon said there had already been a significant move towards yes from non-SNP voters.
"We do want to see Labour voters vote yes," Ms Sturgeon said.
"I think it is a section of population where we are starting to see significant movement towards the yes campaign.
"I've spent a lot of my political life talking to Labour voters and that is where I see the start of quite a pronounced movement from no. Sometimes from no to undecided in the first instance, but sometimes to yes."
She said that while persuading Labour voters was not "an exclusive focus" of the yes campaign as the referendum approaches, "arthimetic and the political shape of Scotland would determine that we would want to convince traditional Labour supporters to vote yes".
Ms Sturgeon said: "The argument that is very powerful with Labour voters is the argument of making sure that we have the ability in Scotland to have the kind of economy and society that we want to have, and not one that is determined by Tory governments that we don't vote for.
"That is hugely powerful for Labour."
She added: "I struggle to understand why a Labour politician would prefer to have a Tory prime minister in Downing Street than have a Labour prime minister in Edinburgh."
Ms Sturgeon also used her speech to highlight the European elections in May, and the importance of the issue of immigration.

Running has never been my strong point. By the age of 27, there were three instances in which I, as an adult, had run at will. There was the "escape from crazy ex-boyfriend" sprint, the "I'm late for my train, which will make me miss my flight" jog, and the "I'm alone on a deserted side street without my mace" trot. None was for the sake of running — certainly not for the pleasure of it. The closest I had ever come to competitive racing was dating an amateur sprinter.
So when my friend Regina recently dropped in casual conversation that I should join her for a half marathon hundreds of miles away from where we lived, I waited for the punch line. None came. We had been making plans for happy hour, and the prospect of a pink cocktail must have clouded her judgment.
"It will definitely be a good time," she declared. Every sedentary bone in my body doubted it.
With no aesthetic motivator (at 5-1 and 110 pounds, I'm not considered overweight by medical standards), the idea of exercise confused me. I never saw the allure in donning a sport bra, lacing up technical-looking sneakers and huffing down a trail. Though I considered smart eating habits and the occasional nature preserve hike a vital part of life, my commitment to health ended there. I joined the gym and considered the membership card a sign of vitality.
Regina's view differed greatly. A longtime athlete, she has completed four marathons and raised thousands of dollars for cancer research. In addition to two 10-mile solo jaunts during the week, she meets her running group — an informal medley of uber-motivated morning dwellers — every Saturday morning at 9 sharp. Thinking of her schedule exhausts me.
But the following day, as I sat in front of the television with a pint of ice cream, I couldn't shake the excitement at the thought of participating. I had conditioned myself to believe that I could run but chose not to, and training was an exotic alternative to renting DVDs or surfing the Internet. A few days of warm-up, I was sure, would prepare me to tackle long-distance lengths by the end of the week. With four months of preparation time, I assumed I had a good shot at winning the race.
I traded the ice cream for mesh shorts — stuck in the bottom dresser drawer among mismatched socks — and headed to the gym. The last time I had been there was to pay my yearly dues six months earlier. Think of all the cute running clothes you can buy, I told myself as I pulled open the now unfamiliar doors of the fitness center.
I didn't recognize most of the machines I passed on my way to the locker room. They looked foreboding, metal components and plastic knobs jutting out at awkward angles. Even the taped-on instructions looked foreign. But I was here, and that was half the battle.
I found my way to a treadmill, got acquainted with the speeds and inclines, and prepped myself for an hour's go at it. This isn't rocket science, I told myself. The only rule is to run.
I conked out after six minutes.
My face flushed for more than just the exertion as I sat down to rest.
I hadn't always been this way. I thought back to high school gym class, when I ran laps to avoid the alternative: failing what was supposed to be an easy "A." I didn't consider tapering off after exhaustion set in because I didn't want to lower my grade-point average. Only now, with almost 10 years of lethargy weighing me down, did I begin to see I was failing far more than a class. Today, I couldn't run. What was in my future — an inability to walk?
I went back to the gym the next day, the next week and the next month. Though I wasn't the best or the fastest or the smoothest, I did start to see improvements in my performance. My breathing became steadier as I exhaled and straightened my shoulders. I could run a little bit longer, then a little bit harder. But the sign-up deadline was approaching, and 13.1 miles still seemed like a cross-country excursion.
I told Regina I wouldn't be joining her. Though the half marathon would be a great opportunity to travel and test myself, it was one I would have to earn. I had not only learned my limits over the past few weeks, but also what I could do to help overturn them.
And that would take more than a few days of training.

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
Hello, Here is my configuration: DEC C V5.6-003 on OpenVMS VAX V6.2 I have read some of the FAQs about the missing C library, and my question is about " using the backport library available with DEC C V5.6 and later releases." Since I have installed C 5.6 compiler, I should have installed the C library too. Right? But it does not compile as I expect. Does "backport library" mean that I must compile on VMS7.0 and can run on 6.2? Or does it mean that I need to install some library package on my 6.2? If so where can I find it? Thank you for your help. David LAURENT
The Answer is :
Missing C library? The OpenVMS Wizard will assume that this is a reference to a failure to include the /PREFIX qualifier on the C compilation. When compiling with Compaq C, please specify the appropriate keyword on the /PREFIX qualifier, such as /PREFIX=ALL. The Compaq C backport library IS NOT intended for moving code from later OpenVMS releases to earlier OpenVMS releases, it is intended to permit access to more recent OpenVMS features on earlier OpenVMS releases. The OpenVMS Wizard recommends the use of the standard shareable image run-time libraries, the /PREFIX qualifier, the use of the current ECO kit for the Compaq C RTL (which will normally get you the latest available C functions), and the use of upward-compatibility. For details on using the C object libraries -- an approach that the OpenVMS Wizard generally does NOT recommend -- please see the available C product documentation (http://www.openvms.compaq.com/commercial/c/).

For those interested in death and the afterlife, this book about the spiritual ascent at the end of time will be enjoyable reading, and filled with many surprises. A Beat-era poet and explorer of the 1950s, Marty Matz came across a previously unknown Aztec codex during one of his adventures in 1961. A Mazatec shaman in the mountain region of Oaxaca, Mexico introduces Matz to this long forgotten and unknown artifact.
This remarkable codex reveals a metaphysical teaching which details how the end of time will also bring about a visionary ascent and mystic initiation. Matz transcribed this pictorial codex into a literary form to preserve it.
It is an epic poem about spiritual enlightenment, and is now identified as the Codex Matz-Ayauhtla. Matz was able to draw comparisons from other traditions, and Jenkins provides insights into these traditions. Such as a reference made to the Aldous Huxley introduction to The Song of God: Bhagavad Gita by Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood. Gnostic elements and the motiff of the Perennial Philsophy are also discussed.
Information on Matz can be found at www.MartyMatz.com Information on John Major Jenkins can be found at www.Alignment2012.com
Matz (1934 - 2001) did not live to see the work published, but his friend John Major Jenkins completed the book with line-by-line commentary. There is much of interest in this fine book, and it will hold your interest. Jenkins is the author of books and publications and has taught at Esalen, and he has appeared on the discovery Channel's "Places of Mystery."
This is a first rate reading experience. It catches the reader's attention and holds it from start to finish. Those interested in Hindu and Zen aspects, and the "serpent of consciousness," will find this a mystery tour of great enjoyment! Jenkins' comments are concise, insightful, and educational.

Washington Square (Modern Library)
"Washington Square is perhaps the only novel in which a man has successfully invaded the feminine field and produced work comparable to Jane Austen's," said Graham Greene. Inspired by a story Henry James heard at a dinner party, Washington Square tells how the rakish but idle Morris Townsend tries to win the heart of heiress Catherine Sloper against the objections of her father. Precise and understated, the book endures as a matchless social study of New York in the mid-nineteenth century. The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with afford- able hardbound editions of impor-tant works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoringas its emblem the running torch-bearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inau-gurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.

Assassin's Creed II Stabs Its Way to Success With 1.6 Million Units Sold
Jason Mick
November 26, 2009 9:00 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The gorgeous Ubsioft blockbuster, Assassin's Creed II is making a killing, posting better than-expected sales of 1.6 million.
(Source: TG Daily)
It may be no Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but Assassin's Creed II's better than expected sales is music to Ubisoft's ears
Two weeks ago, the
launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
posted monstrous sales to the delight of publisher Activision and developer Infinity Ward. CoD:MW2
raked in over $310M USD
in the U.S. and UK in only 24 hours, moving approximately 4.7 million units. That tidy sum in cold hard cash puts even movie industry's biggest one-day opening ever,
Twilight: New Moon
(approximately $72M USD) to shame.
Now, rival publisher Ubisoft has a
similar success
to report. Its new game,
Assassin's Creed 2
, developed by Ubisoft Montreal, has posted better-than-expected sales, selling 1.6 million copies in its first week. With many of the sales occurring at $59.99 mark (Amazon.com and Newegg.com have discounted it to $55.99, and $54.99, respectively), that indicates the game likely has pulled in close to $100M USD in sales.
Cheers Ubisoft in a released statement, "This represents 32 percent growth over the first week sales of [the original] Assassin's Creed. Launched in November 2007, Assassin's Creed remains the fastest selling new video game intellectual property ever in the US."
The sales beat the expectations of most analysts, who were predicting lower sales. Analysts had stated that Ubisoft would be unlikely to meet its sales targets in the current economic climate
As with sales, critical reception of Ubisoft new blockbuster has been extremely impressive, if a bit behind Activision's juggernaut. Assassin's Creed II earned an average scores of 92.33 percent (Xbox 360) and 91.20 percent (PS3), just below Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's high bar of 93.4 (Xbox 360) and 93.90 (PS3), according to GameRankings.
Ubisoft aims to sell 6 million units by December 31, a goal that analysts now feel it is well on target to meet, according to Wedbush Morgan analyst Edward Woo. Mr. Woo states, "Sales of Assassin's Creed II have successfully met initial expectations due to a combination of factors, including a bigger install base and an improved marketing campaign strategy. The game will definitely have a huge impact on the Ubisoft's revenue, but will not change the company's current guidance."
Assassin's Creed II is available for the PS3 and Xbox 360 (the PC edition is not yet out and is currently preorder only), carrying a mature rating. The player in the game is a modern day assassin who relives the genetic memories of his ancestors to hone his skills. He jumps back to the Italian Renaissance where he lives through the eyes of a young nobleman-turned-assassin named Ezio Auditore da Firenze. At the start of the game, Ezio's father Giovanni, elder brother Frederico, and younger brother, Petruccio are all executed by the ruling party. Vowing revenge, Ezio slays his enemies using an advanced weapons-based combat system and inventions created by a young Leonardo da Vinci. The game features the voice talents of actress Kristen Bell (of
Veronica Mars
fame) and humorist Danny Wallace.
"We can't expect users to use common sense. That would eliminate the need for all sorts of legislation, committees, oversight and lawyers." -- Christopher Jennings

Amarillo responders prepare for disasters
Wed, 30 Jan 2013 00:20:21 GMT —
Today the Panhandle Regional Planning Commission hosted its 4th annual Regional Preparedness Conference. It was designed to bring responders all together so they could learn more about how to respond to disasters in their community.
"It's important to see what other people have done so those lessons learned can be shared," said Regional Emergency Planner, Emily Nolte. "You truly understand this. All hazards, all disciplines, they all have to work together."
Within the conference there were exhibits to show off different vehicles and resources needed for emergency situations. One of them was a multi-patient vehicle ambulance bus. It was large enough to carry 20 stretcher patients or up to 24 seated patients. There are only 13 of these types of ambulances in the entire state of Texas. It is used for evacuations and large transportations of patients. It is mainly used for intermediate injured patients, helping to leave room in regular ambulances for the critically injured.

Winter Storm Alert for January 22, 2014
Campus-wide email @ 9:30 PM
January 21, 2014
Dear Brown Community Members,
We have been closely monitoring the weather conditions for the winter storm. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning which began at 1:00 pm Tuesday, January 21 and will continue through1:00 pm Wednesday, January 22. Heavy snowfall is expected to continue overnight and into Wednesdaymorning along with frigid temperatures.
Accordingly, Brown University will cancel classes scheduled before 10:00 am and the University's administrative offices will open at 10 am. The Alpert Medical School's instructional schedule will proceed as normal.
• All classes with a start time before 10 am are cancelled and should be rescheduled. All classes scheduled to start at 10 am or later are expected to be held as scheduled.
• If faculty members decide they cannot travel to campus safely, they should communicate directly with their enrolled students using email via CANVAS. Cancelled classes should be rescheduled.
• All essential staff should report to work at their regular start time. All other staff should report to work at 10 am or at their regularly scheduled start time after 10 am.
For information about athletic events please refer to the Department of Athletics website. For information about other University services please refer to department websites.
Please take steps to ensure your own safety during the storm. Stay indoors during periods of heavy snow and high winds and monitor local weather for updated forecasts. For more information about emergency preparedness please visit the Brown Ready website at http://brown.edu/Administration/EHS/emergency_preparedness/.
We will continue to update the community with additional information as necessary. If you have not already done so, make certain your emergency contact information (including personal cell phone) is up-to-date so that we can contact you as quickly as possible in the event of an emergency. Phone numbers can be added or updated by going to the MyAccount page at https://webapps.brown.edu/myaccount.
For information about parking and transportation, please see below.
Mark Schlissel, Provost
Elizabeth Huidekoper, Executive Vice President for Finance & Administration
The City of Providence has issued a parking ban beginning Tuesday night at 11:00 pm.
When a parking ban is in place, parking for those who have not paid for a parking pass for an off street University lot will be extremely limited. Accordingly, we strongly encourage all members of the community to utilize RIPTA public transportation, ride-share, or work from home with supervisory approval. Supervisors can plan ahead for this possibility by determining which employees can work from home and communicating this to employees in advance. Information on how to utilize computing resources remotely can be found athttp://www.brown.edu/information-technology/support/quickstart-guides/working-campus. Supervisors can also help by encouraging staff to take advantage of public transportation and otherwise reduce the demand on parking on and near campus during inclement weather.
During a parking ban, on street parkers may use one of three over-flow parking lots on a first come first served basis:
Nelson Center (Lot 2) - located off Hope Street ~ 30 spaces
Rear of Olney-Margolies Athletic Center (Lot 1) - Lloyd Avenue behind OMAC ~ 120 spaces.
Brown Stadium (Lot 88) - Elmgrove Avenue ~ 135 spaces
Shuttle service will be provided between the stadium and the Brown Office Building from 9:30 am - 6:00 pm. Vehicles parked in any other University lot without a visible parking permit will be subject to being ticketed and/or towed.
Where to look for more information:
• No member of the staff or faculty is expected to endanger him or herself traveling to or from work. If the University is operating normally and an employee determines that travel to campus is too hazardous, he or she may, in consultation with his or her supervisor, elect to stay home and use a vacation day or other arrangement approved by the supervisor consistent with Human Resources Policy 20.052. As noted in that policy, the work of some employees is considered non-deferrable. Employees performing duties deemed non-deferrable will be so notified in advance by their department head and may be required to report to or to remain at work regardless of administrative closings or delayed openings. Members of the faculty who deem it unsafe to get to or from the campus may, at their discretion, choose to cancel their own class(es). Faculty doing so are responsible for notifying their students directly (e.g., via the email class list function available within Banner as well as MyCourses or Canvas, should you be using either of those applications) and for making arrangements for make-up sessions.
• When a decision is made to close or delay opening of administrative offices and operations, it shall be communicated to the University community via the following methods:
1. The Emergency Information Line recorded message at 401-863-3111
2. Providence-area radio and television stations and websites;
3. Brown homepage: and Emergency web page http://emergency.brown.edu.
• The responsibility to cease operations of the Brown University Shuttle (BUS) rests with the BUS operator, First Transit, and will be made and communicated separately from any decision to close or delay opening of the University. BUS, due to the type of vehicles and service, may shut down in inclement weather even when the University is operating normally. Users of the service should monitor communications (generally made via email to the Brown community and on the Transportation website http://www.brown.edu/about/administration/transportation/) regarding service status carefully and plan travel accordingly during periods of snow, ice, freezing rain or other inclement weather conditions.

Over the past 40 years, only four stables in the United States have started more horses in the Kentucky Derby than Aiken based Dogwood Stable. Of the seven Dogwood horses to run at Churchill Downs, there's been a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place finish.. but never a win.
Dogwood Stable President Cot Campbell believes the drought might end with 2013 entry Palace Malice.
"Palace Malice trained without blinkers on Wednesday and again today. He won't wear them again until he works on Sunday, at which time he will go a half mile under the guidance of Mike Smith and will gallop out five-eighths. Obviously, having a busy schedule in the last two months, he is not in need of a lot of drilling.
"However, his energy is good. A good work on Sunday will pretty well set him up for the balance of the week. He's been schooled in the gate. In the Blue Grass he walked into the gate as if he owned it, whereas in earlier races he's been a little fidgety about going in. No big deal, but the less extra energy expended the better."

I don't really get what it will do? Is it supposed to be a broad social movement? Or a new organization? Is it just going to be a name over a bunch of articles?
We thus anticipate that RAP will draw some heat from conservatives, and do not want to risk any backlash on the EA movement as a whole.
You're probably going to get more from liberals when you advocate being rational about conservatives.
Broad social movement. We're aiming to focus on social media organizing at first, and then spread to local grassroots organizing later. There will be a lot of marketing and PR associated with it as well.
I don't know if social movements ever start from concerted efforts like this. For instance, EA started because one or two organizations and philosophers got a lot of interest from a few people. Other social movements start spontaneously when people are triggered into protest and action by major events. It seems good to have an identifiable 'core' to any kind of movement, like the idea I had - "a formal or semi-formal structure to aggregate and compare evidence from both sides." If you leverage swarm intelligence, prediction markets, argument mapping or more basic online mechanisms then you can start to make something impressive that stands on its own. Though such a system would be more difficult to make successful if you tried to make it relevant for the broad population rather than just EAs. It's just one example.
Yup, we're focusing on a core of people who are upset about lies and deceptions in the US election and the Brexit campaign, and aiming to provide them with means to address these deceptions in an effective manner. That's the goal!
I mean a core as in a fixed point of interest. E.g. a forum, a blog, a website, a college club, etc. Something to seed the initiative that can stand on its own without having thousands of active members. You can't gather interested people without having something valuable to attract them.
We have a number of collaborative venues, such as a Facebook group, blog, email lists, etc. for people who get involved.

A user of cocos2d-xna asks:
He has a 50x50 sprite for the button and insets at |~~>10[ 30 ]10<~~|. This results in a zero width/height sprite. Is this supposed to act like this, or should the insets increase the size of the button?
When I tried a similar test but used a [30,30,30,30] inset on a 50x50 sprite, I got an assertion because the height had gone negative.
I checked our code versus the cocos2d-x code and it appears to be the same. Maybe we are not understanding the Sprite9 correctly?
bump, anyone?
I'm running into a similar issue. I keep getting negative values when i'm using points that are clearly in the sprite? Can somebody make a quick diagram or something, because I can't understand how this is supposed to function.
bump again, anybody?
bump! Walzer? Angus? Someone must know how the sprite9 insets are supposed to work. Maybe I should spam Angus on twitter…
I am going to keep bumping this!

Johann Sebastian Bach Mass in B Minor, BWV 232
We end our 35th Season with the monumental Mass in B Minor, a work Bach returned to again and again during his life. Although it draws upon Lutheran and Catholic traditions the B Minor Mass holds deep significance for people of all religious and cultural origins. Bach scholar Christoph Wolff describes the B Minor Mass as "…a summary of his writing for voice, not only in its variety of styles, compositional devices, and range of sonorities, but also in its high level of technical polish ... Bach's mighty setting preserved the musical and artistic creed of its creator for posterity."
2:00 pm Pre-Concert Lecture: Talking Bach is a series of free pre-concert lectures by noted Bach scholars one hour before performances at National Presbyterian Church. The series is open to all ticket holders.
Tickets $23-$65, Students 18 and younger $10, Pay Your Age 18-38

ATLANTA - More than $153 million in newly earmarked federal funds will extend a lifeline to Georgia regions hit hardest by the home foreclosure crisis, enabling leaders from Atlanta to Savannah to acquire and redevelop foreclosed properties at risk of being abandoned.
Housing and Urban Development's Neighborhood Stabilization Program will distribute $3.92 billion to all states and especially regions struggling to surmount high foreclosure rates.
The money was included in the federal Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, which was signed into law in July. HUD plans a national housing summit Oct. 7-8 in Washington, D.C., as well as regional conferences to explain the program to state and local leaders.
The new program enables state and local governments to acquire land and property; demolish or rehabilitate abandoned properties; and to offer downpayment and closing cost assistance to low- and moderate-income homebuyers.
Grantees also can create "land banks," assembling, managing and ultimately disposing of vacant land to stimulate redevelopment of urban property.
"To those areas trying to recover from the effects of foreclosure and declining property values, help is on the way," HUD Secretary Steve Preston said in a news release. "Clearly, the intent is to put this money to work in communities with the highest need."
Grant amounts were determined by factoring each region's rates of foreclosures, subprime mortgages and mortgage defaults. Officials also weighed local abandonment risk.
HUD said the states receiving the most money were Florida, California, Michigan and Ohio.
The state of Georgia will receive funds totaling more than $77 million; nine other cities and counties will receive the remainder, roughly $76 million.
DeKalb County, labeled at "high" local abandonment risk amid a 6.4 percent foreclosure rate, will receive the largest grant at $18.5 million.
That money could bolster the area's fledgling affordable housing program, designed to locate more economical homes around the region's business hubs, according to Burrell Ellis, county CEO elect. More affordable housing also could enable more police officers, teachers and others in vital - but sometimes underpaid - positions to live in the communities where they work, he said.
"It would give a wonderful jump-start to our affordable housing program," said Ellis, who acknowledged even he can't afford to live near his job in the suburban Atlanta county.
Atlanta will receive $12.3 million; Fulton and Gwinnett counties each will gain more than $10 million. Clayton County will receive more than $9 million; Augusta, Columbus-Muscogee and Savannah, as well as Cobb County, also will receive money.
The statewide foreclosure rate is estimated at 5.2 percent, high, according to HUD, which estimates the national foreclosure rate at 4.8 percent.
Georgia was among the Top 10 in the nation for foreclosures through August, according to RealityTrac, a California-based online marketplace for home foreclosures.
Throughout the Atlanta region, the sting of the housing market crunch is apparent both in abandoned homes and homes remaining on the market longer than usual.
"I'm seeing very much of a slowdown in my resale inventory and my foreclosure inventory," said Lin Sadler-Perry, a Gwinnett County real estate agent affiliated with Century 21. "Our showing numbers in the past three weeks are down at least 50 percent compared to what they were, say, six months ago."
HUD estimates Gwinnett County's local foreclosure rate at 4.6 percent.
Regional leaders have until Dec. 1 to present spending plans to HUD. Grant funds must be used within 18 months.
RealityTrac estimated one in every 416 American households received a foreclosure filing in August.

NORTH Yorkshire County Council has sent a stark warning to the NHS, saying any cuts to services will be "totally unacceptable".
In a meeting at County Hall in Northallerton today (Wednesday, December 19), councillors of all political persuasions spoke passionately about the anger they felt over the threatened cuts to services, including the downgrading of children and maternity services at the Friarage and the reduction of minor injuries provision at hospitals across the county.
Members then voted overwhelmingly in favour of a motion that involved sending a statement to the NHS North Yorkshire and York, to make it clear the council would not condone any cuts.
Councillor Jim Clark told the meeting: "This motion isn't just saying what people want to hear. This is a message that must go out to the PCT that must go out before it closes."
Councillors then lined up to give damming criticism of the PCT for allowing a deficit to snowball to a level that is expected to reach £60m by March.
Several councillors said the health body had behaved without accountability.
Councillor Clare Wood said: "The PCT and NHS have no comprehension of what democracy really means. I recently attended two very important health meetings and they turned up to neither."
The Government recently announced that when the new clinical commissioning groups take over from primary care trusts, which will be mothballed in April, any reserves or deficit will be handed on to the new group.
Coun Jim Clark said: "We essentially have a bankrupt PCT; bankrupt in money, bankrupt in ideas, bankrupt in leadership. It's just good it's going in 100 days time. It's not served this county well."
In a statement reissued after the meeting by NHS North Yorkshire and York, chief executive Christopher Long, said they had commissioned management consultants to develop a long term stragegy that would return its financial state to a "stable financial footing".
The health body also refuted any claims it had failed to engage, saying for months it had been holding in-depth discussions with partners which included senior representatives of the county council.

Anlaby is a village forming part of the western suburbs of Kingston upon Hull, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It forms part of the civil parish of Anlaby with Anlaby Common.
Anlaby is recorded in the Domesday Book as "Umlouebi" or "Unlouebi", a habitation within the manor of North Ferriby which was of 19 persons including a priest. The name is though to derive from the Old Norse personal name Óláfr (or Unlaf, Anlaf) and by meaning 'farmstead': "Anlaf's village". By the beginning of the 13th century the village was known by the spelling "Anlauebi".
Shortly after the establishment of Kingston upon Hull in by Edward I, a road from Hull to Anlaby was constructed in 1302.
In 1392 some inhabitants of Anlaby, Cottingham and 'Woolferton' rioted over the construction of canals supplying water from sources near their villages to Kingston upon Hull; approximately 1,000 are said to have laid siege unsuccessfully to Hull, and some of the ringleaders are said to have been hung at York. Disputes over Hull's water supply continued until the 1410s, with the villages fouling the freshwater supply, and filling in the channels. In 1413 an admonitory letter from the Pope was issued, urging the villages to desist from their erroneous ways, after which the nuisance ceased.
A moated square structure, Moat Hill, , with a moat, on the western edge of the village is thought to have been constructed in the 14th century, and to have included a manor house.
During the English Civil War Anlaby was used as a base by Royalist forces, and fighting took place at Anlaby during the relief of the first siege of Hull (1642), and during the second siege (1643), during which an attack on the Royalists was repulsed.
Anlaby Hall was constructed around 1680, and extended in the early 18th century with modifications in the 19th century. Anlaby House was built in the late 18th century, and extended in the 19th.
In the 1850s the small hamlet of Anlaby contained few dwellings in addition to Anlaby Hall and House, and was set in an entirely rural and parkland environment. Wesleyan (built ) and Primitive Methodist Chapels had also been established by this time, and the area was considered a very desirable dwelling place.
The Anglican church of St Peter was built in 1865 to a design by William Kerby at a cost of £1,558. It was enlarged in 1885, and is mostly of brick in the decorated style,[1] In 1885 the Hull and Barnsley railway was constructed, running east-west one-third of a mile (500 m) to the north of the village. Between the 1890s and the 1930s little development took place, although a row of a terraced houses along Wolfreton Lane north towards the hamlet of Wolfreton was built. Springhead Halt railway station on the Hull and Barnsley Railway opened in 1929 (closed 1955) serving the village, as part of a high frequency urban service
Suburban housing developments began in the 1930s, and by the 1950s housing extended continuously along the roads to Willerby and Kirk Ella. Additionally, short lived housing estates were constructed on the fringes of the village during the Second World War: Lowfield Camp, and Tranby Crofts, an estate east of Tranby Croft. Lowfield Camp was used to house people from Hull displaced by the Hull Blitz, and later used as a transit camp for the British Army of the Rhine. The Tranby Crofts estate was still extant in the 1960s.
Substantial development took place in the post war period. By the 1960s urban sprawl had extended between Anlaby, Willerby and Kirkella, and towards the western fringes of housing developments on the former Anlaby Common which had become contiguous with Kingston upon Hull. During the 1960s light industrial development began on the north side of Springfield way.
Urban housing expansion of Anlaby was practically complete by the 1970s, including development on the ancient Moat Hill. Industrial development along Springfield way was completed, including that on part of the embankment of the former Hull and Barnsley Line that had closed in the 1960s.[2] In the early 1970 the Haltemprice sport centre was constructed north-west of the original village centre;[2] subsequently the pattern of development remained fundamentally unchanged to the present day (2010).[3]
The Civil Parish
Anlaby started out as a "township" in Kirk Ella and Hessle parishes and was established as a civil parish within Sculcoates Rural District in 1894. It was reduced in size to enlarge Sculcoates Civil Parish in 1930 and abolished in 1935 when the area was absorbed by the newly-establishment of Haltemprice Urban District. Anlaby remained a part of Haltemprice until 1974.
In 1974 most of what had been the East Riding of Yorkshire was joined with the northern part of Lincolnshire to became a new English county named Humberside. The urban and rural districts of the former counties were abolished and Humberside was divided into non-metropolitan districts. The new organization did not meet with the pleasure of the local citizenry and Humberside was wound up in 1996. The area north of the River Humber was separated into two "unitary authorities"—Kingston-upon-Hull covering the former City of Hull and its closest environs, and the less urban section which, once again, named itself the East Riding of Yorkshire.
Within the new boroughs and unitary authorities formed in Humberside and the renewed East Riding of Yorkshire, there was a call for the renewal of the civil parish concept to allow for some measure of community government. As a result of this Anlaby and Anlaby Common Civil Parish was formed. Wikipedia provides an article describing its location and its population for the 2001 and 2011 censuses, but does not give the date of its establishment.

Is It Better To Buy Or Make Cake Boards?
Decorating By forthwife Updated 11 Sep 2008 , 1:49pm by bekahzzz
I'm starting a fondant class tomorrow that require cake boards. I can buy the wilton ones but wonder if I'm better off making my own. If so, how to you guys make yours? What do you cover them with? Is it cheaper in the long run? Thanks!!!!
I buy them. By the case.
I buy masonite boards pre-cut... time is money, and some things are worth a little extra expense for the convenience if it saves you a ton of time and extra work. Remember, the cheapest product doesn't always save you money in the long run!
forth, are you talking about cardboard cake cirlces, or what goes at the bottom of the cake? I use cake drums for the bottom. Lighter weight than masonite, which I used to use. Hey pink, try a drum and I'll bet you'll like it.
I use masonite as my cake circles (under each cake) AND as my cake board (base/presentation board). I use drums from time to time but I like my masonite, and since I'm already ordering it for my circles, it's one less item I have to keep in stock (and find room to store lol).
I hear ya on the storage.
OK....I'll as the stupid question. What's a cake drum?
I'm starting a fondant class tomorrow that require cake boards. I can buy the wilton ones but wonder if I'm better off making my own. If so, how to you guys make yours? What do you cover them with? Is it cheaper in the long run? Thanks!!!!
Hi Forthwife - If you are referring to the cardboard the cake sits on (e.g. 8" cake on 8" board - buy 'em - they are super cheap. I wrap mine in parchment paper.
If you are referring to the display board you have a lot of possibilities. If you are making for family, purchase a few nice masonite boards that you can reuse. If I'm sending out a cake for friends and don't think I'm going to get the board back, I'll cut out the shape and size I want from foamcore using an exacto knife. For the display board, I use several different mediums to cover (fondant, RI, decorative foils, etc...).
I'm referring to the board that goes on the very bottom of the cake. I know they can be purchased at craft stores, is there a place that's less better to buy them at? I just hate to spend $4-7 a piece knowing I probably won't get them back. Thanks!!
If you're selling the cake, you build the cost into the overall price.
I think you are referring to seperater plates.I factor them into the cost because most likely they never return them.As for the cardboard boards...hubby has found a paper company here that supplies many companies with honeycombed cardboard to wrap windows and doors in..I'm talking the thick stuff 1/2 an inch thick.We bought a lift of 200 sheets last summer and hubby cuts the boards to the size of my main cake boxes..and then custom cuts the bigger sizes.I get about 3 standard 19x14 boards from one sheet.I think it cost us about $300.00 dollars and we purchased under my hubby's construction company so it was really a cost saver!!
Where do you get you masonite circles? I've been looking for a supplier...

Minister in 'vigilance' call to farmers
Scotland's farmers have been warned to be "just as vigilant" as the rest of the UK against the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease among livestock.
Rural Development Minister, Ross Finnie, said it was essential that the source of the most recent outbreak in England be identified as soon as possible.
He has ruled out suggestions that Scotland should be excluded from a ban on exports of live animals, meat and animal products which is currently being enforced by the UK Government after demands by the European Union.
His warning came after more than 300 pigs and 60 cattle were identified as carrying the 'type O' strain' of the highly infectious disease at an abattoir in England.
"So we have to be just as vigilant as any other part of the UK in looking out for any suspicion that there is any instance of disease here in Scotland."
"This outbreak has been clearly and positively identified in Essex and therefore an exclusion zone has been created there.
"The European Union operates at member state level and they want to prevent a member state exporting while the member state is trying to identify exactly how it is going to contain the disease within its own borders.
"We are being very vigilant and the farming community is being very vigilant about this threat to the UK," he said.
Scottish links
"What we have to hope for is that we can isolate the disease in Essex and move forward from there."
Mr Finnie said that questions of government compensation to farmers were premature and he hoped that the current restrictions would soon be lifted.
The export ban has already caused alarm among UK farmers, many of whom have still not fully recovered from the BSE crisis several years ago.
The Vice President of the Scottish National Farmers Union (SNFU), Peter Stewart, traveled to London on Thursday to attend a meeting with Agriculture Minister Nick Brown.
The SNFU has confirmed that there is a "regular trade" from Scotland to the affected abattoir in Essex which may account for dozens of lorries every week.
The outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease was first detected by a veterinary inspector at Cheale Meats abattoir in Essex on Monday and confirmed on Tuesday.

sustainability & community
At The Red Lion Inn, community and sustainability are in our DNA. They are part of who we are as a company and a culture. As a historic inn in the Berkshire region, we are committed to running our luxury hotel in a way that respects the historical value of the property and the environment. We set high standards for efficiency, re-use and green products. We are integrally linked with our community in many ways, and take our social responsibility seriously. We celebrate the bounty of The Berkshires through local sourcing and partnerships with numerous Berkshire organizations in the worlds of preservation, art, music, human services, agriculture and education.
The Red Lion Inn began composting this fall. Massachusetts passed a law requiring businesses that produce one ton of food waste annually to compost rather than send food waste to a landfill. The Inn immediately complied, setting up compost bins right away. We now send our food waste to a local farm for composting.
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection came by the Inn to see how we have changed our food waste policy.

Infant genome sequencing raises ethical issues
WASHINGTON — Little Amelia Sloan is a pioneer: Shortly after her birth, scientists took drops of the healthy baby's blood to map her genetic code.
Amelia is part of a large research project outside the nation's capital that is decoding the DNA of hundreds of infants. New parents in a few other cities soon can start signing up for smaller studies to explore if what's called genome sequencing — fully mapping someone's genes to look for health risks — should become a part of newborn care.
Nonetheless, the project has drawn a list of ethical questions: Should parents be told only about childhood threats? Or would they also want to learn if their babies carried a key gene for, say, breast cancer after they are grown? Could knowing about future risks alter how a family treats an otherwise healthy youngster? And how accurate is this technology — could it raise too many false alarms?
"This was something that was looming over the horizon," said Dr Alan Guttmacher, a pediatrician and geneticist at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Last month, NIH announced a US$25 million (S$31 million), five-year pilot project in four cities — Boston, San Francisco, Chapel Hill, and Kansas City — to start answering some of the questions before the technology is widely offered for babies.
Today, the four million United States babies born annually have a heel pricked in the hospital, providing a spot of blood to be tested for signs of at least 30 rare diseases. This newborn screening catches several thousand affected babies each year in time for early treatment to prevent death, brain damage or other disabilities. It is considered one of the nation's most successful public health programs.
A complete genetic blueprint would go well beyond what that newborn blood spot currently tells doctors and parents — allowing a search for potentially hundreds of other conditions, some that arise in childhood and some later, some preventable and some not.
"If I truly believed that knowing one's genome was going to be transformative to medicine over the next decade or more, then wouldn't I want to start generating that information around the time of birth?" asked Dr John Niederhuber, former director of the National Cancer Institute who now oversees one of the largest baby-sequencing research projects to date.
At Dr Niederhuber's Inova Translational Medicine Institute in Falls Church, researchers are mapping the genomes of newborns, along with their parents and other relatives for comparison. The long-term goal of the privately funded study is to uncover genetic patterns that predict complex health problems, from prematurity to developmental disorders.
But the experimental tests will turn up some gene mutations already well-known to cause serious ailments, and participating parents must choose upfront whether to be told. They do not get a full report card of their baby's genes. Only ones that cause treatable or preventable conditions — so-called medically actionable findings — are revealed, to the family's doctor. That means in addition to paediatric diseases, parents also could learn whether a baby carries a particular breast-cancer-causing gene, information useful once she reaches young adulthood.
Nurse Holly Sloan was eager to enrol daughter Amelia, although she thought hard about how she would handle any bad news.

The New York State Legislature had come to a standstill in 1829 as lawmakers refused to charter any new banks or recharter any existing banks. Four of New York's forty banks had failed since 1825, and many legislatures believed that a significant change in the banking regime was needed to shore up the state's financial systems. Others, however, feared that a major change in the law was too risky, especially since over three-quarters of the state's banks held charters that were slated to expire over the next four years. On the table was a completely untested proposal to create a mandatory public insurance fund that would back the banknotes and deposits of every state bank. As bank charters throughout New York State rapidly approached expiration, lawmakers faced a tough decision: should they pass the bill and gamble with the untried insurance fund, or should they go seek a more traditional solution to the state's banking woes?
To examine the origins of banking in the United States, the logic and limits of bank-centered finance and the pros and cons of mandatory bank insurance.
