Rewrite algorithm to identify tickets to reschedule. Refs #9648.
This is a shorter, cleaner algorithm:
- Find what's active now
- Find what was active
- wasActive - isActive should be idled
- isActive should be rescheduled
- Save only if schedule changes
It also works. ;-) With the old algorithm if you has two goals scheduled
and interrupted the earlier one, the tasks for the second goal weren't
moved up. The code to find active and idled tickets was weak and
fragile and not worth fixing since it was also slow. In general, this
new approach handles a lot less data, defers getting ticket details as
long as possible, and gets them for many fewer tickets. In my
playground, I used to query 150 tickets (basically, everything in the
database) and now I query 4-5 tickets (the active set). I expect that
ratio to scale to production. Since querying for ticket details was the
longest part of rescheduling, this is much, much faster than the old

Use numerical precedence levels for start/finish sources. Refs #9648.
Before a date was either explicit or not. Values in the database
(actual start/finish dates, previously scheduled values, and explicit
user-supplied values) were all explicit so a test for "better" between
an old schedule table value and a new actual value were not resolved.
Now each source of a date has a different precedence so we have enough
information to resolve a conflict.
The way dates were calculated, we should not have seen conflicts in
new values, only in the explicit ones. This change allows an actual
start to be higher precedence than a previously-scheduled finish.
However, there is still the potential conflict between items of the
same precedence.
- Two actual values should never be wrong (we can't finish before we start)
- Two scheduled values should never be wrong if we never save bad values
- If two user-supplied values are wrong, it's data entry, not
algorithm. We could validate this away but we don't currently even
allow explicit start dates.

Don't consider group start, finish when resource leveling. Refs #9648.
Consider one group and separate task. All tasks are one unit of work.
- Group A is owned by Mickey
- Tasks B, C, and D are children of A. All are owned by Minnie
- Task E is owned by Mickey and has no dependencies.
An ASAP scheduler would try to schedule, which requires scheduling B,
then C, then D. When resource leveling, they will happen one after the
other. The way the existing algorithm bubbles up finish dates, Group A
gets a finish of 3 and that is assigned to the group owner, Mickey.
Now the scheduler tries to schedule E. Checking the resource limits, it
thinks Mickey isn't available until 3 and scheduled E from 3 to 4,
leaving Mickey idle for three units at the start of the schedule.
Since there is no scheduled work in a group, the owner's availability is
not affected by the work done in the children. This change skips
consideration and update resource limits if a task has children.

"You could blue screen Ardi"21 Oct 2010
The Guardian is running an interview with Pauline Fowler, whose company Animated Extras has been involved in many film and television projects where apes and hominins are part of the cast. It's an interesting interview, and I like to get this behind the scenes look at the artistic and technical process. As many may know, I'm one of the most irascible critics of the results, but I very much appreciate the challenges of realism in portraying ancient hominins.
I asked Fowler how she would go about animating an Ardipithecus ramidus, who lived 4.4m years ago. The 45% complete fossil, known as "Ardi" was discovered in Ethiopia by Tim White's team in 1992 just 75km from the location of the famous "Lucy" fossil. "Well Ardi was short, stood about three and half to four feet tall. She had long arms. If you are going to make suits you need small people and arm extensions. Children are hard to work with so you need adult midgets, not dwarfs, you need average human proportions, but smaller. But finding enough midgets who can act is tough. You could blue screen Ardi and put in the environment later or have it as a CGI construct. There's several ways you could animate Ardi. But the colour of Ardi, her hair and size and shape of the soft tissue is informed guesswork, soft tissue doesn't usually fossilise. I always liaise with an expert and we find a realistic compromise."
Not so different from R2D2, really.

Even when dosed with drugs designed to freeze them in place, cancer cells still manage to spread through the body. A new finding may explain this baffling ability: The drugs themselves can cause cancer cells to revert to a primitive amoeboid state, allowing them to squeeze through the gaps between tissues. The discovery may one day lead to drugs that keep a tighter lid on tumors.
A tiny tumor can eventually devastate the body, if its cells invade other tissues. They do this by releasing protease enzymes that chew right through the walls of connective tissue that separate the tumor from the rest of the body. The fact that cancer cells can still migrate even when their protease enzymes are blocked with drugs suggests some alternative mode of travel. To catch them in the act, Peter Friedl of the University of Wuerzburg, Germany, and colleagues used video microscopy to spy on cancer cells embedded in artificial gels of collagen, similar to the connective tissue usually surrounding tumors. Their first film revealed the classic escape, with migrating cells nibbling telltale tunnels.
But the picture changed radically when protease blockers were added. Like the Blob of B-movie fame, the cells became amorphous, oozing with ease between fibers. "We were surprised!" says co-author Kata Wolf, whose original aim was to find a combination of protease inhibitors that would halt the cells. The shape-change also happened in an experiment with mouse skin, the team reports in the 20 January issue of the Journal of Cell Biology. Before drugs can be developed to target this amoeboid transition of cancer cells, says Friedl, its molecular mechanisms have to be worked out. The cause of the transmogrification remains a mystery.
The discovery is "completely unexpected," says Zena Werb, a cell biologist at the University of California, San Francisco. She would like to see if cancer cells can pull off the same trick in tissues other than skin, where they would be surrounded by a wider variety of cells.

LOS ANGELES — It was the last game of the day, and the Staples Center seemed like an abandoned parking lot. There were maybe 1,000 fans in attendance. It wouldn't have been shocking to see a tumbleweed blow through.
Such is life in the Pac-12 men's basketball tournament. For starters, Utah got just six wins all season. Then there were the problem with the Pac-12 itself: Things are not pretty in Tinseltown. That was obvious by the 35 percent shooting by both teams in Colorado's 53-41 win over Utah.
Some are saying the Pac-12 could be a one-bid-only league in the NCAA Tournament field. That seems unlikely, considering the conference's political clout.
Still, it would be hard convincing the average person that this year's tourney is a big deal.
"There's no doubt this year our conference this year has not been at the level that people are used to it being at," commissioner Larry Scott said, but added, "what is fair to say is that the conference is probably undervalued."
In any event, the fans stayed away by the millions on Wednesday, which is probably good for the Utes, who wrapped up the worst hoop season in their history. If a tree falls in the forest, and there's no one to hear, does it make a sound? And if the Utes had beaten Colorado in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament, would anyone know?
The Buffs' win gave them a 4-0 "rivalry" lead in the sports that matter. A Colorado win in football and three this season in basketball makes it a sweep. This from a series that was supposed to evolve into a natural rivalry. Two mountain schools, both newcomers to the conference, just a lift ticket away. But the way it looks so far, the Buffs view Utah like the smallest kid in the playground: someone to pick on.
Wednesday's game marked a milestone in Utah athletics. It was the first revenue sport playoff in the new conference. It's been a year of first: first Pac-12 games in all sports, and first time ever the Utes could call themselves something other than "mid-major," etc.
At the same time, it's hard not to twitch when referring to a 6-25 basketball team as "major," unless you follow up with the terms "disappointment."
It's been that bad.
That's not to say the Utes have been dogging things. On the contrary, they entered Wednesday's game as fired up as they've been all year. They told reporters they felt rejuvenation in the fact the regular season was behind them.
OK, so it was an in-the-moment thought.
If the Utes could have hoped for anything, it would be for Colorado to come out shooting dreadfully — and it did. The Buffs missed 10 of their first 11 shots, allowing Utah to go up 11-4. Two buckets and two free throws pulled CU within one.
That took care of that.
Still, the Utes had vowed to play with abandon and in a way, they did. Nerves? The Buffs began the game far jumpier than Utah.
Even when CU started pulling away, building the lead to five just before the half, Dijon Farr made a buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the half, bringing Utah within two.
But by the time the second half began waning, the Utes were back to reality. Turnovers had spelled their doom. Colorado scored three straight times, going up by six, which isn't insurmountable, but it seems that way when you win as seldom as the Utes. Soon the lead was 10.
Utah never recovered.
Maybe the Utes can package all the bad passes, missed shots and rebounding deficiencies from this season and ship them off to yesteryear. More likely, coach Larry Krystkowiak will have to build his team back up, one brick at a time.
In any case, the most painful of seasons came to an end. The Utes actually seemed fairly relieved as they walked off the court. Nobody cried. That can be good or bad. Resiliency is fine, but at some point feeling bad might be good, too.
Yes, they might have been hurt. But surprised? Not likely.
That went by the wayside months ago.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Does a different spelling alter the image of a name?
We're not talking about kreeatif spellings here, but standard variations. For example:
• Would Ann of Green Gables have seemed like a slightly different character? (She passionately advocated for the e at the end of her name, claiming it made it "so much more distinguished.")
• Do you see Catherine as more classic than Katherine?
• Is Isobel more exotic than Isabel?
• Aiden more modern or American than Aidan?
• Elisabeth softer than Elizabeth?
• How about Susanna vs Susannah, Margo vs Margot, Mae vs May?
Any other examples you can think of where different spellings alter your perception of a name?

"Updos can look really old when they are too formal and tight. If you're going to do an updo, it has to look loose and casual. If you have long hair, leave it loose and have it blow-dried or wear it half up and half down. A lot of women think they're doing something special with an updo. Hair is sexy, hair is youthful, hair is sensual—so if you have great hair, wear it down."

" Brand: BT / Telephone Type: Corded Phone "
These BT Versatility phones were installed in our office 8 months ago, and I quickly became something of an authority on them, after managing to completely clear the entire programming a day after they were installed and having to work my way through a complete re-program.
The phones are business phones, designed to be installed on business systems which have either multiple lines or a need to communicate between different stations.
A quick tour of the phone...
The phones are a significant presence on the desk, around 25x20cm and standing around 12cm tall at the back. The keypad and display screen are angled towards the user, and it is all well designed in that respect, easy and intuitive for dialling and accessing the menus. The handset is ergonomically designed, curves in all the right places! It does feel quite heavy in the hand; this is a well-built piece of kit. The phones are matt black finish which means they don't attract great quantities of dust or fingerprints, ideal for office use where cleaning is down to the individual!
The top section of the phone is given over to a fairly large semi-circular speaker, and beneath is a large button to activate the speaker, mute button and volume keys. I like this arrangement as all the connected features have their buttons all together.
The main central area of the phone is given over to the keypad on the left side and the screen to the right. The screen has 6 buttons alongside it, 3 on each side, which are linked by means of a groove in the body of the phone, each to a line on the display, used to make selections from the prompts/menus which appear there in various functions.
The top line of the display shows the date and time, and the remainder of the display is given over to other menu items, which can be scrolled through using the scroll buttons which are handily positioned beneath the screen.
Above the screen are four permanent one-touch keys: 'program' to access programming features, 'message' to access all voicemail options, 'directory' for stored numbers and 'network', only needed if the phones are installed on one.
Finally, the bottom section of the phone has the 8 programmable keys, which are customisable.
A bit about the system
As this is a review of the V8 featurephone rather than the 'Versatility' system they're designed for, I will keep this to a minimum, but I will say that the system works perfectly for our small business.
The system operates by nominating one station as the "master" and extensions from that as "slaves", which can further be managed by arranging into groups. The master is the station through which external calls come into the business, and the system can then be managed according to individual business needs in terms of directing or diverting calls to other handsets, groups, voicemail boxes, or to external numbers when no-one is in the office. You can determine how long a call should ring for before ringing at another station, or to mailbox, and whether it should ring in a certain sequence or on all phones in the system.
The more advanced features of the system leave me somewhat out of my depth, but I will quote from the manual, as they may be important to other potential users:
"... an Integrated Communications System supporting all your voice call needs and also provides an 'Integrated Data Solution' which allows multiple simultaneous Internet sessions and Voice over IP (VoIP) trunks. The VoIP trunks can be set up with a Broadband Voice Service Provider or on a managed IP network."
Individual Phones
Each phone station has certain features which can be programmed to individual users needs. For instance, the system works so that there is a "system" phone number directory (up to 500 numbers) which all users can access, but individuals can also programme their own personal directory (up to 30 numbers), and these are easily accessed from the "directory" key.
Similarly there is a "system" mailbox but also individual mailboxes for each user, where users can record their own messages to the system message, and calls can be easily routed accordingly via the programming menu. There is a large red illuminated panel when a message has been left on your phone.
The 8 programmable keys can be dedicated to any function within the phone or assigned to frequently used numbers, meaning that whatever the key is programmed to is executed by a single button press. We have it set up so that it's a one-touch operation to switch the whole system over to voicemail when leaving at the end of the day or to switch over to an external number if you are just popping out. The first two buttons are preset to our two lines, and illuminate depending on which line is in use.
When a call is made or received, the screen displays an "in-call" menu, which enables transfer, hold or consult with another extension at the touch of a button. For incoming calls, caller number is displayed, or if it is a number programmed into the system, the callers name is displayed. In call the duration is constantly displayed on the screen.
Calls can be made and answered completely handsfree, but all of us find that the speakers are not the clearest, and using the handset gives a far superior quality to the call. That said, when the need arises, it is more than adequate for an odd use, both in terms of listening and also the person on the other end hearing us, it's just a preference of ours to use the handsets.
Programming the phones for the system from my extensive experience is straightforward but very long-winded. Reprogramming the whole system (1 master + 2 slaves) took me over 2 hours, and ours is not a complicated system in any way. My impression is that this is in no way a state-of-the-art system or phone, so the navigation through the processes required are not especially intuitive and it did require a lot of concentration and patience to programme the phones and system.
The same applies to the overall navigation through the system. Some of the menus don't seem to be arranged in the most user-friendly way... for instance wherever you are in any menu, there is an "exit" option somewhere on the screen, but it would be far more intuitive if "exit" was alwas in the same place, whereas it will flit from top right to bottom left as you go through a process.
The last major point I must make is that scrolling through the main menu, the last option is "Reset Phone". I wanted to change one of my personal programmed keys when I pressed this, and I recall it was just one more screen and press and the entire system was wiped. [Sorry, but my dedication to this review doesn't extend to trying it again in order to verify what happened!] I'm pretty sure it was more than simply pressing that button once, but I also definitely remember that there was no "Are you sure?" prompt, so please beware of following this function! I should add that I did not find out how to change one of the programmed keys once stored, and haven't attempted to do so since, so again take care and plan your choices before programming!
My sum-up would be that these are good, solid phones which meet our business needs just fine. The phones are widely available online, refurbished for around £50, and at that price there is nothing I would want them to do where they fall short. All the basic features are present as well as a few neat extras, without being over-specced, and all in all this is a great value business phone.

Domenick Voce sees signs of a rebounding landscaping and nursery industry, so much so that he and two partners purchased Atlantic Nursery in Mays Landing in February, a business where he worked for 10 years.
"I see the turnaround," said Voce, 43, of Egg Harbor Township, who had been a manager at the long-running nursery off Cologne Avenue. "I attend a lot of trade shows, I talk to a lot of people in the industry, and they're under the impression it's about to really pick up again.
"We've noticed it here with an increase of landscaping job bids that come through, more so than in the last couple years," he said.
Like other industries, this one took a major hit from the recession and prolonged downturn.
Voce said retail sales had dropped by nearly half during that time, as the numbers of landscaping jobs went down and the average amount of money spent on them.
Voce, who bought the business with his brothers Mark and Matthew Poolake, did not disclose the purchase price.
"We think we're buying at the proper time, with interest rates, property values rising, and business appears to be getting back on solid ground," he said.
In a survey released in May, the Vermont-based National Gardening Association reported that retail sales at lawn and garden businesses grew $688 million, or 2 percent, from 2011. This followed several years of declines.
"I'm not going to predict the economy," Voce said, "but I think the momentum is going to build here, reaching more people, getting them to come in and look at the place. That's my challenge, reaching out to the people who don't know we're here."
Of course, there are more challenges to running this type of business than the economy and marketing.
While a stretch of good weather can bring people out to work on their homes, bad weather can crimp business.
There are also the physical demands.
"You've got to be able to jump out there at 8 on a cold March morning and empty a West Coast truck that might take you four to five hours," Voce said. "When we get to the summer and 100-degree days, you have to be willing to get out here and lug a 50-pound hose and water all day long. And then comes the winter. It's a challenge."
The business sits on 20 acres, about 10 of which are currently in use, Voce said.
Voce said the business relies on the knowledge and expertise of its employees to help customers as they undertake their own projects.
"Most people will come in with an idea of what they want. They'll come in with pictures and look for advice on what to put where or they'll have trouble keeping something alive in a spot and we'll offer them choices," he said.

Our Story
After successful careers in retail, Chris Ward, Mike France and Peter Ellis were at a bit of a loose end, so while sailing along the River Thames in 2004 they decided to start a watch company that reflected their shared love of horology. But this was going to be no ordinary watch brand…
Refresh and rebrand
To reflect our place in the watchmaking world, and to point to where we're going, 2016 saw the launch of the new brand logo, a fresh website and a revitalised magazine (now called Loupe). We've also brought the unique UK/Swiss nature of Christopher Ward to the fore: combining the pioneering, entrepreneurial spirit of the British with the precise, functional Swiss mindset.

There is no low the left won't stoop to. These people are just vile and deranged. The editors at Hustler Magazine don't like conservative news analyst SE Cupp so they published a fake pornographic photo of her. The Blaze has the disgusting details.
Under the headline "Celebrity Fantasy," the text beside the picture asks, "What would S.E. Cupp look like with a [d**k] in her mouth?"
S.E. Cupp is a lovely young lady who read too much Ayn Rand in high school and ended up joining the dark side. Cupp, an author and media commentator who often shows up on Fox News programs, is undeniably cute. But her hotness is diminished when she espouses dumb ideas like defunding Planned Parenthood. Perhaps the method pictured here is Ms. Cupp's suggestion for avoiding an unwanted pregnancy.
A disclaimer follows: "No such picture of S.E. Cupp actually exists. This composite fantasy is altered from the original for our imagination, does not depict reality, and is not to be taken seriously for any purpose." …
Cupp told The Blaze she was "horrified and disgusted" when she first saw the image, which was passed along to her by a friend. (Read More)
Twitchy calls this "weaponized misogyny." Of course, NOW had no comment.

YORKSHIRE ambulance staff are being balloted for strike action over shift pattern changes, which a union claims could mean paramedics going more than 10 hours without a meal break.
The Unite union said 450 members will vote on possible industrial action over the introduction of new 'elongated shift patterns' next month by the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
In a statement strongly refuted by the Trust, the union claimed the shifts were not family friendly and would lead to an overtired workforce, impacting on patient safety, and said there had been no consultation with the union over the rotas.
Unite, which has been involved in a long-running dispute with the trust, said staff could go more than 10 hours without a meal break as such breaks would be at the whim of managers. It said it wanted a protected meal break of 30 minutes after six hours.
Regional officer Terry Cunliffe claimed members had been under sustained attack by the trust's 'hardline management' for more than a year and said the latest 'erosion in their employment conditions' could affect their ability to do their jobs. The ballot closes on January 24.
The union added that it was increasingly concerned at an increasing use of private ambulance firms to 'plug the gaps' in NHS 999 responses, which it said was particularly noticeable in December and over the Christmas and New Year period.
Trust Chief Executive David Whiting said he refuted the union's 'misleading and factually incorrect claims.'
He claimed changes to staff rotas and rest breaks had been agreed after a period of consultation with staff and the union Unison, following a detailed and comprehensive review of the service which took place throughout 2013.
"They are being introduced following agreement with staff and their representatives and form part of changes we are making to improve our responsiveness for patients and increase operational efficiency," he said.
"Staff welfare is a key priority for the Trust and whilst we have to ensure our staff are available to respond to emergencies, we balance this with adequate rest breaks for our staff.
"The new rotas will improve the allocation of rest breaks and the rest break period will be a minimum of 30 minutes during a 10-hour shift and 45 minutes during a 12-hour shift."

SONOMA - Where there's a will, there's a way. Will Power found an extra burst of speed to grab the pole for Sunday's Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma.
"It is important that we start up front here," Power said, holding the pole award for a record eighth time this season. Helio Castroneves, who qualified second, held the old series record of seven poles in a season.
"This is the toughest series I have ever raced in. It is just so tight now," Power said. "You can't leave anything on the table."
Power topped the chart at 108.337 mph, completing the 12-turn, 2.333-mile loop in 1 minute, 16.5282 seconds. Castroneves, the 2008 Sonoma winner. Last year's winner and the defending series champion Dario Franchitti qualified third (1:16.9437), followed by Alex Tagliani (1:17.2068), Ryan Briscoe (1:17.2109) and Scott Dixon (1:17.3470).
"This place is always good to be in the front," Castroneves said. "Certainly it's difficult to pass. We have straightaways, but it's not quite straight. That's why it's so difficult."
Power, a native of Toowoomba, Australia, said last week this road course owed him. He's ready to collect now.
Power's season ended at Infineon Raceway last year when he suffered two broken vertebrae and a concussion in a crash during practice last year.
"You know, last year when I broke my back here, they could have just said 'This guy's not going to be good enough again.' Often you lose confidence, you're not as quick as you used to be," Power said. "But Roger (Penske) and Tim (Cindric) are very loyal guys. Within an hour of lying in hospital, roger told me, 'Don't worry about it. Even if it's not full time next year, we'll give you something.'
"It gives you a lot of confidence as a driver. As I've come through during my career, all these different teams, I've never had this feeling of comfort within a team and loyalty. You want to do well for these guys."
Penske had no misgivings about putting Power back in the driver's seat this year and Power has rewarded that confidence.
Power leads the IndyCar Series standings and is celebrating this weekend as he already has received the inaugural Mario Andretti Trophy as the season's road-course champion. The four remaining races this season will be on ovals.
"I don't think I've had time to think about or feel the emotion of happiness of leading it," Power said. "(I'm) just really focused on what I'm doing to ensure that we can continue and lead right to the end and win the championship. That's the goal."
Power outpaced the Target Chip Ganassi entry of rival Dario Franchitti in the first round of qualifying Saturday, but his grip on the pole remained tenuous.
Qualifying started with two groups of 12 drivers. The top six from each group after a 15-minute session advanced to the second round. The remaining 12 drivers were then cut down to the Firestone Fast Six to battle it out for the pole. Those who didn't qualify for the Fast Six will start from the fourth row or worse.
Power was nearly knocked down to the fourth row on the starting grid with a sluggish performance in the Fast Six. It took a last-lap sprint to climb back into contention.
"I wasn't sure I was going to pull it off in the second round of qualifying," Power said. "I knew it was going to be very close for the pole here."
Justin Wilson, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Tony Kanaan and Raphael Matos round out the top 10 on the starting grid.
Simona de Silvestro of Switzerland, led the five other rookies in the field. She'll start from the sixth row.
Sausalito native J.R. Hildebrand qualified 19th.
"It's disappointing we didn't do better," the 22-year-old said as he prepares for his second career IndyCar Series race. He debuted at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on Aug. 8 and finished 16th.
Danica Patrick struggled all day and qualified 23rd in the 25-car field. An uninspiring morning practice session turned to frustration when Takuma Sato clipped Patrick in the hairpin turn. The damage to her front alignment was so severe she could barely make it around the track and into the pits for repairs.
"I'm going to need to be strong on the start and restarts," Patrick said, "and have solid pit stops so we can make up as much ground as possible during the race."
Lights onJ.K. Vernay can't let off the gas yet in his run for the Firestone Indy Lights Series crown. Charlie Kimball is determined to make this a real title race.
Vernay won the pole for today's Carneros 100 with a qualifying lap of 1 minute, 23.5582 seconds. Kimball was a split-second slower at 1:23.5977.
"We have to stay focused to the race. the goal is to win the championship and we have to finish well to do that," Vernay said.
This is Vernay's third pole of the season. He also started from the pole at Barber Motorsports Park and Toronto and won wire-to-wire both times.
Vernay holds a 53-point edge in the standings. James Hinchcliffe, who qualified third, is tied for second place in the standings with Martin Plowman.
Kimball, a native of Camarillo, is the top American in the standings at fourth. He is 72 points behind Vernay.
"It's a lot of fun to drive here when the car is good," Kimball said. "If I get a good start, I'll have a shot at the win."
Kimball is the only licensed IndyCar driver with Type 1 diabetes. He is hooked up to a blood sugar monitor during races and gets a boost of sugar water from his crew during pit stops when needed.
Locals have a good daySonoma's Dane Cameron easily won Saturday's Formula Car Challenge ahead of his friend Patrick O'Neill of San Rafael. Cameron's margin of victory was 6.467 seconds.
Michael Guasch of Marintez finished fourth in the race. There will be a second race today.
Cameron, O'Neill and Guasch are just three of the drivers who call Infineon Raceway their home track. Worldspped Motorsports, which is based at the facility, was led by a fifth-place finish from Paul LaHaye of Santa Rosa.
San Jose's Matthew Trudell was 17th overall and Napa's Derry O'Donovan finished 18th.
ReunitedThere's no other way to put it: "I was starstruck," Phil Reilly said.
"The first Grand Prix race I saw was in 1974 in Watkins Glen and the Brabham just dominated. I came away amazed," he said as he stood amid a collection of the most celebrated vintage race cars before the Historic Grand Prix at Infineon Raceway.
The Larkspur resident remains enthralled by the memory of that 1974 race, so much so that when he saw an ad in Autosport Magazine for a less-than mint condition 1974 Brabham BT-44, his heart took an extra beat. It was the same car John Watson drove to a fourth-place finish at Watkins Glen, N.Y. in 1974.
"It turned out I was the only one who answered the ad," said Reilly, who paid $20,000 for the car. "We figured we could make (the payments) work. It was something that meant a lot."
Infineon Raceway is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its first open-wheel race this weekend.
"Sonoma is basically a home race for the Historic Grand Prix," Reilly said.
Reilly's car won't be in the field for today's race, but several other Bay Area residents have entries, including Tiburon's David Olson and San Anselmo's Chris Locke, who will both drive cars Mario Andretti took to victory lane in the 1970s.
Gilroy's Jules Moritz is also in the field.

Johannesburg - The curators of Julius Malema's estate will bring a court application on Tuesday to have the former African National Congress Youth League leader declared in contempt of court.
The curators of his estate, Cloete Murray and Aviwe Ndyamara, brought the application in the Pretoria High Court following his failure to declare his assets.
They were appointed curators at the beginning of March and tasked with ensuring Malema declared all his assets following a court order. Malema agreed to do so, but then did not.
Malema's lawyer Tumi Mokwena said her client intended opposing the application. If found guilty, he could face a R500 000 fine, a jail term, or a suspended sentence.
On March 19, Malema, facing a R16-million tax bill, had his Limpopo farm, worth approximately R4-million, seized by the National Prosecuting Authority's Asset Forfeiture Unit.
NPA spokesperson Medupe Simasiku said at the time the property was allegedly acquired with the proceeds from fraud, corruption, theft, and money-laundering.
The alleged crimes were perpetrated against the Limpopo Department of Roads and Transport, Simasiku said.
In January, sheriffs seized Malema's Sandton and Polokwane homes. The South African Revenue Service rejected a R4-million settlement offer and auctioned Malema's assets in the Sandton and Polokwane homes in February.
Malema also faces charges of fraud and racketeering related to the irregular awarding of a R52-million tender to On-Point Engineering in Limpopo. - Sapa

In 1873, a group of Germans built a tavern in the heart of Golden's "Goosetown" community, a neighborhood thick with immigrants who worked at what was then the Golden Brewery--later to become Coors Brewing Company--and spent their wages each night throwing back cold ones. The Goosetown Tavern, as it was known until 1989, is thought to have been the oldest continuously operating bar in the Denver area, and maybe the state. Even after it was sold and renamed Sam's Land, it remained a popular local hangout until the last owner, Sam Whelan, died in 1997 and his son was forced by debts and lack of business to sell the place to Coors.
Which promptly turned it into a parking lot.
Fast-forward to 1998, when the most visible of the founders of the Wynkoop Brewing Company, John Hickenlooper, was looking to open a tavern-type spot on East Colfax. He bought the innards of the old Goosetown Tavern from Coors before the wrecking ball dropped and then used the worn wooden bar, oversized wooden booths and various bits of memorabilia to line the interior of his new space (the former home of the Across the Street Cafe), across from the Bluebird Theater. Hickenlooper's intention was to evoke the ambience of an old neighborhood joint, at the same time giving the thriving area another option for a brewski--many of which are from the Wynkoop, of course--and a bite.
But the only thing this Goosetown Tavern evoked for me was a headache.
The service was poor, even by today's standards. In the ladies' room, the seat for the toilet--kind of a crucial component of the beer-focused tavern experience--was lying on the floor next to it. The deafening volume of the incessantly throbbing music forced customers to speak exceedingly loud. At one point a leather-clad babe came through the front door clutching a cell phone to her head. "Whoa, it's too fucking loud in here!" she roared into some poor person's ear. Amen, sister.
But the worst thing about the Goosetown was its food, a mix of yuppified pub grub and bad Italian that took too long to arrive and gave the impression that no one in the kitchen really cared. The only keeper encountered over two visits: a trio of spreads ($6.50) that included a snappy roasted-red-pepper pesto, a velvety textured and tahini-packed hummus and an olive-dense olivada (an Italian version of tapenade). The spreads came with wedges of the tavern's fresh, spongy focaccia, which was much better than what the menu had promised would be "seasonal veggies" but turned out to be a few wrinkled carrot sticks and some withered broccoli.
If only we'd stopped there. But, no, we had to order a Caesar salad ($4.95), which came with more focaccia and featured a nice-sized pile of brown-edged romaine with enough salty dressing to decoupage one of those wooden booths. We followed that up with a traditional pizza ($5), the base of which tasted suspiciously like focaccia, except that it wasn't dotted with herbs. Instead, it was thickly quilted with cheese and a nebulous red sauce. Even more nebulous was the pizza's size, listed on the menu as ten inches in circumference, but not even close to my hand-span of eight.
Stingier still, the Sicilian Poorboy ($6.95) took more of that focaccia--it seems to come with every Goosetown dish in some form or another--and augmented it with as little cappicola, provolone, mozzarella and the usual trimmings as possible. Something's poor here, all right, but it's not this eatery's food costs. One listed ingredient, the prosciutto, was missing entirely. When we asked our server about its absence, she told us we were mistaken: "Oh, no, the Sicilian doesn't come with prosciutto." We were going to ask her to bring the menu back so that we could prove prosciutto was in fact listed as the poorboy's first ingredient, but since she was the only person working the place, we were afraid there might be repercussions if she left in a huff.
On our second stop, the service was still poor, the toilet seat continued to gaze up at me in defiance from the floor, Pearl Jam jammed so loud I had a concert flashback, and the food was even worse. The Greek salad ($5.25) was another pile of past-their-prime greens wet down with dressing, this time a wonderfully tart, balsamic-laced tomato vinaigrette that would have been better in a much smaller dose. The pomodoro salad ($5.50) came with not-fresh mozzarella of indeterminate origin--the menu said buffalo, but as a cheesehead, I doubt it--that had been layered with crunchy, pinkish, unripe romas, too-thick red onion slices and basil with the blackened edges of age, all of which had been drenched in another vinaigrette, this one mouth-puckeringly balsamic-heavy. But at least both salads came with that fresh focaccia.
We got the bread again in a sandwich, this time the roast beef ($6.50): dry, chewy meat completely outweighed by slices of Jack and cheddar cheeses. The baked manicotti ($7.50) might have been edible if someone hadn't baked it into oblivion, but the marinara had cooked down until it looked like red icing, and the meatball was so dry it was like eating a huge wad of cotton. Fortunately, the manicotti also came with focaccia.
At this point, we would have liked dessert but saw none listed. After we'd had our lame entrees slung at us, getting the bartender--who's also your server, a setup that's supposed to be just like that in British pubs, although I don't remember running into it very often there--to return to our table was like trying to get the band's attention at a Pearl Jam concert. And so we gave up. Man can live on bread--focaccia, at least--alone, but it's not much fun.
So we ate dessert first at Goodfriends, which sits a mere block and a half away from Goosetown on Colfax. This is a real neighborhood bar, one that's been quietly pulling in customers for twenty years. It may not have turn-of-the-century booths or be connected with a high-yield microbrewery, but the fern-bar throwback has a nice vibe and fine food for a fair price. And the toilet seats are firmly attached.
Credit the goodwill of good friends Lee Goodfriend, David Racine and Dixon Staples with making this, and their two other eateries, work so well for so long. "We've had our best year in a decade at Goodfriends this past year," Goodfriend says. "Color us surprised. And happy. Who'd have thought we'd make it this long and that we'd outlast so many others?" Like Zach's, for example, Denver's original fern bar, at 1480 Humboldt, where Goodfriend and Racine met while they were working there as a waitress and bartender, respectively.
"We were sort of control freaks, and also leftover vestiges of hippies, I guess, and we couldn't stand the way the place was run," Goodfriend explains. "So we decided to try our own place, with Dixon, about a mile down the road, in what was a barbecue joint at one time and then a bunch of strip joints."
Goodfriends opened in 1979. Four years later the trio expanded to Racines on Bannock, and two years ago last month they opened Dixons Downtown Grill in LoDo. The three restaurants share pastry duties, which explains why they all have some of the best densely flavored brownies ($2) and fruit-packed pies ($2.50 a slice) in town.
If you want to skip the sweet stuff, Goodfriends also offers a worthy weekend brunch, with such specialties as eggs Benedict ($5.50) made from scratch and served with crisp-edged, soft-centered potatoes, and huevos rancheros ($4.95), a cheese-gooey version covered with a punchy, pork-loin-based green chile and topped with two eggs perfectly cooked your way. There's something about sitting with a hangover in Good-friends, where the fern leaves droop sympathetically and the booths are just right for slumping, that's very soothing.
But Goodfriends is also a good place to get a start on a hangover. The bar is usually hopping, and although the crowd is constant in the dining room, languishing there over a beer after getting a few munchies is not only tolerated but encouraged. The deep-fried potato skins ($4.95) filled with bacon and cheese weren't a bad choice for noshing; neither were the beer-battered onion rings ($3.25), which were greasy but not overly so. An even better choice was the hot wings ($4.95), crisp-skinned and juicy appendages kicked into high gear by a sharp sauce.
The well-priced chiles rellenos platter ($6.80) brought three chiles wrapped in egg roll skins and stuffed with a total of about a half-pound of Jack cheese, which spilled out in one big avalanche as soon as the logs were split. During one visit, they were so greasy that the combination of cheese and grease made me a little woozy, but another time they were just right. And the sides more than held up their end of the bargain, particularly the guacamole (see Mouthing Off for the recipe), which had a great jalapeno bite and a nice slap of lemon. The abundance of cheese-covered refried beans was a bit redundant after the chiles, but you could never get enough of that good green chile rich with pork flavor. Compared to the platter, the blackened salmon Caesar salad ($9.50) was a veritable spa meal. The filet was coated with decadently salty spices, tasted very fresh and hadn't been overcooked, but the dressing could have used a little oomph. That quibble, however, was quickly buried by a bite of brownie.
The true test of Goodfriends came on Easter Sunday, when I popped in at dinner time, after everyone had been hammed and lambed to death earlier in the day. Clearly I wasn't the only one ready to relax and down a few beers: The place was packed. Which just goes to show that true neighborhood joints can't be manufactured or re-created; they have to grow into--and then up with--the area.

A record number of visitors helped Hong Kong's Disneyland to finally turn a profit — the first time since it opened in 2005.
The theme park made about $14 million in the fiscal year ending Sept. 29, 2012, compared with a net loss of $30.5 million the year before, The South China Morning Post reported.
Business at the park, which is 52 percent-owned by the Hong Kong government and 48 percent-owned by Walt Disney Company, was lifted in part due to a 13 percent increase in visitor numbers to a record 6.73 million.
The theme park, the third to be built in Asia and the smallest globally, has been battling lower-than-expected numbers since its opening, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Hong Kong Disneyland Managing Director Andrew Kam said, "It is very encouraging to see the significant improvement" of the theme park's financial performance.
Analysts told the Wall Street Journal that the financial turnaround could enable the park's backers to develop a more comprehensive long-term expansion plan.

Welcome to the 296bhp Audi S3 - BBC Top Gear
Wonder if it will be on tv?
I don't remember the 8L or 8P being o Top Gear before so it would be nice! They have done the R32 both times!
They rarely do an RS model, the TTRS or RS3 didnt get a look in.
Read the comments under the article. User99 says 'its ugly, buy a Mini'. What a c**t!
300bhp, quad exhausts and 5.1s with launch control sounds interesting so I'm keeping an open mind. As with all its predecessors, once the customer starts aftermarket fiddling the cars suddenly get interesting, or nuclear as TG seem to call it.
As much of a **** as RealMan on page 2 of the comments?!
"The driver's car is BMW135i. It will eat the S3, A45 AMG and won't be enough for breakfast. Buy a Mini if you cant't afford 135i and get Class plus performance and respect. S3 is ugly, same shape for 14 years, it's drab, aweful to drive too. Ask my wife."
I'm not sure that it's possible for me to respect a man less than a man who lusts after a Mini while his wife drives an S3.
These are the type of people who are caught fingering their neighbours cat etc..
Separate names with a comma.

Matthew Harris from the West Texas Smoke Free Coalition Calls In on Friday's Chad Hasty Show on KFYO [AUDIO]
During "Open Line Friday", Matthew Harris, Chairman of the West Texas Smoke Free Coalition (WTSFC) called in to speak with Chad on KFYO's Chad Hasty Show.
Matthew and Chad sparred on various points around the issue of the proposed smoking ban ordinance, on which WTSFC has been working with city attorneys to have a new ordinance drafted.
Asked if any of the guidelines and examples (which the WTSFC has provided to the attorneys) restrict in any way smoking on patios or outdoor areas, Harris responded, "Absolutely not. We are absolutely not seeking prohibitions of smoking on patios or outdoor areas, other than what's already in place right now, with the 20 feet from the door."
Commenting on forcing bar owners to adopt no smoking policies through city ordinance, Chad said, "We've had numerous businesses (owners) that have stood up during council meetings and said they don't want this. That everything's fine the way it is, adults can make adult decisions."
Responding to Harris' comment that Lubbockites are suffering on a daily basis from smoking in establishments in Lubbock, that the corporate owners located in other cities aren't concerned with, Hasty said, "No one is suffering. Matthew, people make a decision to go in by themselves, no one is forced to suffer here."
The conversation continued with points and counterpoints about employees working jobs inside of businesses where smoking is allowed.

Gypsy and The Cat tour
Gypsy and The Cat are set to release their new album The Late Blue on October 19 and to celebrate the launch they're heading out on tour.
The band's debut Gilgamesh was acclaimed by triple j listeners as one of the Hottest Australian Albums of All Time and saw the band joining the lineups at Big Day Out, Future Music Festival and Splendour in the Grass. They even scored the support set on Kylie's Aphrodite tour!
The Late Blue was produced, written and recorded entirely by Bacash and Towers and then mixed by Dave Fridman (MGMT, Flaming Lips, Tame Impala). "We've been listing to Talking Heads and Pink Floyd," singer Xavier Bacash recently told the Telegraph. "That 'yacht rock' thing was everywhere … Everyone was inundated with it. We spent a lot of time trying to forge a new sound. We've moved forward – to the '60s. The '80s thing has been washed away." The band's other member Lionel Towers (the gypsy to Bacash's cat?), says that "There's a little bit of world [music] influence in it. It's definitely different to the first album in many ways – there's lots more major chords … I think [on this album] we needed to do something a little more 'left' than the first album."
According to the advance word, the duo's second album features "dreamscape ballads with washed out melodies, driving tom-fuelled rock with dance-floor highs, to lazy Nordic grooves with cascading Moogs and liquid tones". The first glimpse of the new record is the preview track 'Sorry'.
The five date Australian tour will be the only chance to see the band this year before they head off on another global trek.
FasterLouder presents Gypsy and the Cat:
Friday, October 26- The Palace Theatre, Melbourne
Thursday, November 1 – HQ, Adelaide
Friday, November 2 – Capitol, Perth
Thursday, November 8- Metro Theatre, Sydney
Friday, November 10 – Hi-Fi, Brisbane
Tickets on sale Friday, September 21

I have a standard A3 Sport would really like an S3 but so hard to find a decent one that's been well looked after with decent milage. But anyways getting back to the problem - I have an A3 sport, want to turn the front end that has no fogs into a S3 front end with fogs without changing the bumpers as it won't be a perfect fit. Blah blah blah I've been told by Audi it's possible to change the bottom half of my bumper to the ones with surrounds - that's not my problem, my problem is what's the best way to wire the lights up to work - without drilling holes or ruining the car? Is there a switch that can be put in? Above my stereo I have 4 buttons - only 1 button works for the rear window the rest are blanks. Is there a Button that goes there that I can use to turn the fogs on? Or Is there a better way! Heeeeeeelp people please, goto get her looking good for AITP (my first Audi event)

Milwaukee police chief Edward Flynn is being portrayed as something of a flash hero as he blasted reporters with what has been described as "passionate authority." But no one has yet noted the far more important issue that surfaced in his tirade: his passionate anti-gun agenda.
Flynn was allegedly "verbally attacked" for paying attention to his cell phone during a press conference last week. Since the conference was to discuss the officer-related shooting of a black individual, Flynn's cell-phone focus was taken as "disrespectful," and, it has been assumed, perhaps reporters were fishing for him to say something they could interpret as racially disrespectful. But Flynn exploded on them:
Well I was on my phone, yes. That is true. I was following developments about a 5-year-old girl sitting on her dad's lap who just got shot in the head by a drive-by shooting. If some of the people gave a good g****mn about the victimization of people in this community by crime, I'd take some of their invective more seriously.
The greatest racial disparity in the city of Milwaukee is getting shot and killed. Hello! Eighty percent of my homicide victims every year are African-American. . . .
Now they [protesters] know all about the last three people who've been killed by the Milwaukee Police Department over the course of the last several years. There's not one of them that can name one of the last three homicide victims we've had in this city.
The last two sentences are, of course, an indictment of both the protesters and the media who inform them. And everybody loves it when the liberal media get a hypocrisy wedgie and have it pulled up over their heads. But wait just a minute, something stinks far worse here.
These outlets even related the words, and yet gave no notice of what Flynn said next:
[T]his community's at risk all right. And it's not because men and women in blue risk their lives protecting it. It's at risk because we have large numbers of high-capacity, quality firearms in the hands of remorseless criminals who don't care who they shoot. . . .
[The cops are] the ones who are going to be out there patrolling and stopping suspects who may have guns under the front seat.
The community's at risk because of a prevalence of "high capacity" firearms. Sound like political trade language to anyone? You bet it is.
Some will note that he only objected to the firearms in the hands of "remorseless criminals," but note that he also referred to the implied threat of mere "suspects" who "may" have guns. I am getting a clearer picture of this guy's agenda.
But then it gets really clear. Flynn has an outspoken history of anti-gun activism.
Back in 2009, when the Wisconsin attorney general affirmed the state's recognition of open carry laws as a clear Second Amendment right, Flynn spoke up in tyrannical defiance. You won't believe how far he took it:
My message to my troops is if you see anybody carrying a gun on the streets of Milwaukee, we'll put them on the ground, take the gun away and then decide whether you have a right to carry it. . . . It's irresponsible to send a message to them that if they just carry it openly no one can bother them.
Flynn is so rabid against guns that even liberals cringed when he was chosen to testify before Congress when liberals recently tried to leverage Sandy Hook to renew an assault weapons ban. No not this guy! He'll actually spill the whole liberal agenda and make it look bad! Huffington Post shuddered:
Flynn was openly boasting that he had instructed Milwaukee police officers to harass, assault, and willfully violate the rights of Milwaukee citizens when Flynn knew they weren't violating any laws. . . . That he was never really held accountable for his comments is bad enough. That he's now being put forward as a spokesman for gun control is really pretty awful.
But spokesman he was. In that 2013 hearing, Flynn eagerly lectured Congress on the need for strict gun control: "The notion that innocent, law-abiding citizens will use an assault weapon or high-capacity firearm to protect themselves is not our experience."
When pushed on enforcing the laws we have rather than expanding new ones, Flynn interrupted, spoke over, and rebuked the Senator: "If you think we're going to do paperwork prosecutions, you're wrong!"
After the hearing, Flynn continued his pontifications with reporters:
Don't sit there crying crocodile tears for the victims of mass murders and the number of police officers shot every year and then blithely say, "Oh, and by the way, we can't do anything about it. It would inconvenience someone."
Imagine that: a police chief who believes your stand for Second Amendment rights— God-given rights—is nothing more than an excuse to do nothing and a petty personal "convenience."
And now, just a few months ago in the midst of the Ferguson furor, Flynn found a way to squeeze his name into the media spotlight again on the same issue. Surprise, there was that same calculated political language again: "We have remorseless, reckless criminals in possession of high-quality firearms."
At that time, Flynn boasted his officers were confiscating as many firearms from people as was done in the much larger NYPD:
As of July 6th, the New York City Police Department had confiscated approximately 1,350 firearms from the streets of a city of 9 million. . . . So far this year, the Milwaukee Police Department in a city of 600,000—15 times smaller than New York—has seized 1,340 firearms from the streets of this city.
Remember, this is the guy who promised to put people "on the ground" and take their guns regardless of their rights to begin with.
Flynn's anti-gun activism and statements have been so bad in the past, that his own Sheriff (the county jurisdiction above the City of Milwaukee), apologized to the Senate committee Flynn had disrespected.
David A Clarke, Jr., the Sheriff of Milwaukee County who became famous when he instructed all law-abiding citizens to arm themselves, sent the following letter to the committee chairman Lindsey Graham. In it, Clarke apologized "on behalf of my constituents" for Flynn's "embarrassing behavior," stating,
Please do not see his arrogance as exemplary of the people in Milwaukee County. His views on gun control are his and he is entitled to them, but he has no constituency of his own. He is an appointed bureaucrat. I do not remember him emphasizing that fact and I want to you to know that his viewpoint does not represent either my view on gun control nor countless other law-abiding citizens and gun owners in Milwaukee County. Chief Flynn has been a mouthpiece for the Mayors Against Guns group that has made no secret of their desire to obliterate the Second Amendment. Chief Flynn should have made his bias clear before speaking.
This recent "blast the media" story was upheld by TheBlaze and other alternative news outlets for Flynn's daring to confront the assumed racist implications of reporters' questions. Perhaps that is true and laudable to a degree. But it should be viewed mainly as one rabid leftist chiding other leftist pawns regarding what their real issue of the day needs to be: not racism, but gun control.
We should get on the side of Sheriff Clarke and see through the façade of these biased bureaucrats and activists, and focus on the real important issue.

Be sure that the php5-mysql module is installed or pdo_mysqli. You can check by adding the following to a .php file somewhere and viewing it:craig;3165 said:Hi do i need any specific extensions to install this?
Im using the lastest version of WampServer that ships with:
MySQL 5.0.51b
Apache 2.2.8
Every time i fill in the installation details i get reverted back to the same screen, no errors are show, no database is created.
Thanks for your help
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
This is what I was missing!blunted1;3889 said:Craig,
Turns out I had the same issue. I had short_open_tag = on in my php.ini, but I *didn't* have the mysql module for PHP installed on my system. On CentOS, I ran the following command to solve my issue:
yum install php-mysql
Restarted apache and it worked just fine.

Today is Patriots' Day in New England. And as a testament to the fighting spirit of the revolution, the New England Patriots aren't going to let something as minor as losing the Super Bowl detract from the marketability of an undefeated season.
The fearless muckrakers at The Smoking Gun reveal that not only have the Patriots not abandoned their quest to trademark "19-0" since the Giant Snatch, they have amended their original application. Before we dismiss this legal wrangling as mere wishful thinking on the Patriots part, maybe they know something we don't. Maybe the stinging defeat at the hands of the Giants caused Bill Belichick to redouble his resolve to build the Patriots into an unstoppable gridiron juggernaut that will finish the 2008 season without a blemish. Or maybe Belichick has added Doc Brown and Professor Peabody to the coaching staff and plans on tearing the space/time continuum asunder. Only time will tell.

1. Figs grow best in 15-gallon containers filled with a 2-to-1 mix of soilless mix and compost that's been amended with a granular organic fertilizer. Make life easy and place the container on a rolling caddy. Plant a small, hardy variety, such as Alma, Celeste, or Brown Turkey.
2. Allow the tree to go dormant before you bring it in for the winter. Taper off watering the week before your first expected frost and expose the tree to a few light frosts. This encourages sap to move down the stems and leaves to drop.
3. Remove any remaining leaves and fruit and inspect the plant and potting soil for insects. Spray the plant with dormant oil to kill off any lingering pests or eggs, and move it to a dark, dry location that stays just above freezing, such as an unheated shed or garage. If your overwintering site is light, wrap the plant in dark fabric to prevent it from breaking dormancy early.

4. Keep the soil almost completely dry during the winter, because moist soil can rot the roots.
5. Move the plant back outside two weeks before your last frost. Place it in a warm, sheltered area (for example, against a brick wall), water it thoroughly, and apply a granulated organic fertilizer to the soil. If frost threatens, either roll the plant inside for the night or wrap it in a heavyweight row cover. The fig should begin to leaf out and grow actively within a few weeks.
