Tapbots co-creator and developer Paul Haddad was kind enough to sit down at WWDC 2012 to talk about the keynote, and about their hugely popular Twitter client, Tweetbot.
More →
The extremely popular Twitter client Tweetbot for iPhone and iPad has just been updated to version 2.4. It brings a new search view, keyword mute filters, offline favorite and Read Later support, and more.
The Calculator app is one of those iPhone apps that didn't make it's way onto the iPad. It's a shame, because a lot of people, including students, travelers, and home book keepers would get a lot of use out of it. The most popular type of calculator is a scientific calculator -- it can do more than the basic operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing), but isn't as different in approach as an RPN (reverse Polish notation) or as advanced as a graphing calculator or CAS (computer algebra system). So which iPad app is the best scientific calculator? Calcbot by Tapbots.
The fine developers of Tweetbot have reported that one of their latest updates was rejected from Apple for collecting UDID information without getting user consent first.
What's your name? Paul Haddad
What's your company's name? Tapbots
Where are you located? Flower Mound, TX
What's your website address? http://tapbots.com
What's your Twitter name? @tapbot_paul and @tapbots

What apps, other than your own, are currently among your favorites? My favorite Apps tend to be Mac based: Transmit, VMWare, TextMate, VLC, TF2 :^)
TapBots has announced that it has submitted an updated version of TweetBot, their beautifully designed Twitter app, to Apple for approval and the good news is it will now include push notifications. The downside is that the push notifications are classed as experimental and will be rolled out initially to the first 1000 users.
Tweetbot just hit the US App Store and boy is it a beauty. Tapbots has done it again and designed an application that is not only functional and pretty, but an artistic masterpiece that I cannot keep my hands off of. I was an instant critic when I read Tapbots' claim that Tweetbot is "a twitter client with personality", but they're right.
A text review can hardly do this app justice because it is impossible to put into words how beautifully Tweetbot is made. Sure, I can describe how, at your touch, a tweet slides up revealing a navigation bar while simultaneous emitting the perfect sound. I can explain that swiping a tweet to right reveals the conversation and swiping to left displays related tweets. I can tell you about smart gestures, multiple timelines, and customizable navigation. I can even spew out a concrete list of every feature that Tweetbot includes. What I can't provide you, however, is the experience.
The problem with Twitter clients these days is that they're all the same. Yes, the same. Sure, the features vary (slightly) between them and some come with cool themes. The experiences, however, are too alike. I used to get excited when a new Twitter app was released because each app offered something different, something new. Today, they all feel the same. What happened? When users flocked to a particular Twitter app, other devs copied what made that app special. Individualization was lost. Now the App Store is basically filled with slight variations of the same app - with the exception of Tweetbot.
Tweetbot is different. It's innovative and refreshing. Tweetbot isn't an app you use, it's one you interact with. Everything has an animation, a sound, a beautiful interface. And true to Tapbots' style, the sounds are subtle and pleasant - enriching the experience.
In case you can't tell, I'm a huge fan of Tweetbot, but it isn't for everybody. Tweetbot is full-featured, but doesn't have every possible feature known to those in the Twitter app world. Tweetbot doesn't have a mute option or display in-line photos. It doesn't have multiple themes or native push notifications (but it's compatible with Boxcar). If these features are deal-breakers to you, then Tweetbot isn't for you. Not yet anyway.
For those who are suckers for design, innovation, and dare I say, personality, Tweetbot will rock your world.
Check out the screenshot gallery after the break!
[$1.99 - iTunes link]
Tapbots, one of the most innovative, user experience-oriented iPhone app developers, has released Tweetbot for iPhone. Tweetbot is a Twitter client with personality and Tapbots claims:
Whether it's the meticulously-crafted interface, sounds & animation, or features like multiple timelines & smart gestures, there's a lot to love about Tweetbot.
Whether it's the meticulously-crafted interface, sounds & animation, or features like multiple timelines & smart gestures, there's a lot to love about Tweetbot.
Convertbot [$0.99 - iTunes link] has seen their latest update, version 1.4 for iPhone (and iPod touch), rejected by at least 2 of Apple's 40+ App Store reviewers because the icon they're using for "Time" (the same icon they've been using since 1.0, mind you) is nigh-identical to Apple's built in "Recent" icon, and that was enough to raise that troublesome "user confusion" flag at iTunes HQ.

Among the many complex issues local officials face, it is hard to imagine one that could be more complex than educating our students. Each student has an individual need, and it should be the goal of teachers, administrators and board members to serve that need to the fullest extent possible.
Which is why, even though it is far from perfect, the current conversation regarding gifted education is a healthy one. The county's students who classify as "gifted" have educational needs that will simply not be properly served in a traditional classroom, and the local Board of Education's efforts toward meeting that need are a step in the right direction.
It is equally healthy for the parents of those students to bring their questions to the board. The system, while it may be the best we can muster today, is far from perfect; each time a parent raises a valid point to the board and offers a suggestion, and the board receives the criticism, the system takes another step in the right direction.
Our highest interest should be to serve the needs of our school children, whatever they might be. Let us hope this program is a step toward meeting this need in the future.

Great bar tape with a touch of that vintage look due to the perforations - reminds me of dad's old tennis racket. Not as padded as some bar tapes, but the color, oh dear lord the color! Bright is an understatement. The attached photo was taken with my dumbphone in a dimly lit room and it still glows like a Fukushima tuna.

Glowing is a bit of an understatement for the orange. Flouro on EPO? Hi-Vis on hi-test? In all honesty, it's just as all Deda tape is...pretty good. Plenty long enough, even for double wrapped tops, and big hooks.
As appearances go, it's insane.
When I wrapped the bars, I tried to get a picture to illustrate the color to some riding friends.
I used THREE different cameras. Two point and shoot, and our digital SLR. None took a shot worth a damn. The orange just KILLED the metering.
I guess I'm an early adopter in this town, as three of my ride partners have ordered it since seeing mine. Bandwagon jumpers...
Wish there was a hi-vis red, so I could throw it on the road bike too.
Between this tape, and my hi-vis socks, armwarmers, shoe covers, and helmet, I should be ok on the night rides.
If I get hit, they were trying...
This tape is bright!

I put this tape on my wife's commuter. Her bars now appear to be glowing.

Sestamibi stress test; MIBI stress test; Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy; Dobutamine stress test; Persantine stress test; Thallium stress test; Stress test - nuclear; Adenosine stress test; Regadenoson stress test
Thallium stress test is a nuclear imaging method that shows how well blood flows into the heart muscle, both at rest and during activity.
This test is done at a medical center or physician's office. It is done in parts, or stages:
You will have an IV (intravenous line) started.
Most people will then walk on a treadmill (or pedal on an exercise machine).
Your blood pressure and heart rhythm (ECG) will be watched (monitored) the whole time.
When your heart is working as hard as it can, a radiopharmaceutical is again injected into one of your veins.
Using a computer, your doctor can compare the first and second set of images. This can help your doctor tell if you have heart disease or if your heart disease is becoming worse.
You should wear comfortable clothes and shoes with nonskid soles. You will probably be asked not to eat or drink anything after midnight, except for a few sips of water if you need to take medicines.
You will need to avoid caffeine for 24 hours before the test. This includes:
Your doctor will tell you if you need to stop taking any medicines before the test. Medications used to treat asthma and angina may interfere with test results. Never stop taking any medicine without first talking to your doctor.
It is important to tell your doctor if you have taken a dose of the following medications within the last 24 hours:
During the treadmill test, some people feel:
If you are given the vasodilator drug, you may feel a sting as the medication is injected, followed by a feeling of warmth. Some patients also have a headache, nausea, and a feeling that their heart is racing.
If you are given medication to make your heart beat stronger and faster (dobutamine), you may have a headache, nausea, or your heart may pound more strongly.
Rarely, during the test people experience:
If any of these symptoms occur during your test, let the lab personnel know immediately.
The test is done to see whether your heart muscle is getting enough blood flow, and therefore enough oxygen, when it is working hard (under stress).
Your doctor may order this test to determine:
The results of a nuclear stress test can help your doctor:
A normal result means blood flow through the coronary arteries is probably normal.
The meaning of your test results depends on the reason for the test, your age, and your history of heart and other medical problems.
Abnormal results may be due to:
After the test you may need:
Complications are rare but may include:
Your health care provider will explain the risks before the test.
Non-heart structures, such as the diaphragm and breast tissue, can sometimes cause false positive test results when older methods are used to show how well blood flows into your heart muscle. Special techniques can prevent this problem and reduce the need for further testing.
Further tests may include a cardiac catheterization.

Top 50 Pregnancy Facebook Fan Pages
Pregnancy raises a lot of questions, and these days there's no shortage of answers. "Experts" are everywhere - on TV, in magazines, in line at the grocery store - telling you what to do, when to do it, and how to feel about it. While it can be wonderful to have so many points of view to consider, the information overload can also be confounding. Increasingly, parents are turning to Facebook fan pages to help them filter all the headlines, advice and opinions. It was difficult to select 50 out of the wide range of Facebook pages out there, but you'll see a mix of big, recognizable names and some less well-known, but equally "like"-able ones, too. I hope you find this list helpful and even add some of these fan-worthy pages to your custom feed. Don't see your favorite fan page on the list? Tell us and nominate it here! - Ceridwen Morris

The Associated Press
PORTLAND — Independent Sen.-elect Angus King is meeting with Republican Sen. Susan Collins in Washington to discuss committee assignments and how they'll work together to represent Maine in the Senate.
Independent Senator-elect Angus King hugs his wife, Mary Herman, after he spoke at a news conference, Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012, in Freeport, Maine. King says he's heading to Washington this weekend and could decide as soon as next week, or after Thanksgiving, on which party he'll align himself with. The former two-term governor overcame challenges from Republican Secretary of State Charlie Summers and Democratic state Sen. Cynthia Dill to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe. (AP Photo/Robert F. Bukaty)
Collins and King are meeting Tuesday morning, with King attending orientation sessions later in the day.
King flew to Washington on Sunday and met with Maine's other senator, Republican Olympia Snowe, on Monday. King is replacing Snowe, who didn't run for re-election because of what she called gridlock and partisanship in Washington.
King has not revealed which party, if any, he'll caucus with in the Senate. Regardless, he says he'll vote his conscience and not along party lines.

Still no answers on Benghazi
Outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton put on an unsettling performance last week when she spoke to two congressional committees about the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Mrs. Clinton, who has served since the beginning of the Obama administration in January 2009, is expected to step down tomorrow.
Famously, the Obama administration claimed for weeks that the attack, which killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans, was a spontaneous reaction to an anti-Islam YouTube video. Of course, it later emerged that the intelligence community knew almost immediately that the attack had been planned by Islamic militants sympathetic to al-Qaida.

Stay away!!! Something drastic has happened/changed here. We have gone here probably 30 times over the last few years. Have even brought our kids and grandkids here and have enjoyed the food and service just about every time. Not this time. I ordered the Kung Pao chicken and my wife ordered the Almond "Fried" Chicken dinners. The chicken in my meal just tasted off. The Almond "Fried" chicken that my wife ordered was mushy, soggy and was like pancake batter. We notified the server and said that this is different from what we usually get. She says "No, it is not different, this is the way it always is". I looked her straight in the face and said we come here a lot, and this is not the same. My wife then took her fork and literally wiped the batter/coating off the chicken to show her. She promptly took it away, not asking us what we wanted. By that time, I am in no way going to risk what would happen to that meal (or another one if we ordered it) coming out of the kitchen so I decided that I would pay for my meal (all three bites of it) but not my wife's. The gentleman apologized but it was more of the quick kind to get us out of the restaurant before the other customers heard. You would think he would have comped my three bite meal but sadly instead, no. He swiped my cc quickly and gleefully rang me up for $13 for a meal that really sucked. We had really enjoyed this place in the past but what a response when we had an issue with the meal. Very unbelievable but our margin of error for places like this is very small with all the other restaurants out there. Won't be back because of a horrible food service/quality and even poorer customer service when they were alerted that there was an issue.
China Star ROCKS ! – My Fiance and I have been going to China Star... or ordering over the phone... for the past almost 6 years now. Their food is awesome. We went there for my Birthday and when I told Ann (the lady who is always there when we are there... she's really nice) that it was my Birthday... she offered to buy me a drink. I didn't want any alcohol... so my soda was free... with free refills. She even let me take pictures inside the restaurant.
The staff at China Star is always very nice and very welcoming. They remember their customers too. We are regulars at that restaurant because we just absolutely LOVE the food there. The food is just the right temperature and I always have my spiciness altered to no spicy since I can't eat spicy foods. They always make my food perfectly to my specifications. And I LOVE their Egg Flower Soup and their fried Crab Cheese Wantons. MMMM !
We HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone. If you live in Western Washington State and even if you live out of state and are ever in this area... give China Star a try. I guarantee you will Love it !!
Best Chinese Food We've Ever Had ! – My fiance and I have been to China Star more than once. For the last few years we've ordered out (over the phone) and had our food delivered to us. We usually get General Tso's Chicken with Fried Rice. I usually get my meat spiciness altered so that it is not spicy as I am not able to eat spicy foods. The Fried Rice is always very moist and flavorful... unlike other chinese places we've gone to. And there are a lot of little extras that come with our meal that we don't get charged extra for. Like... Egg Rolls, Fried Prawns, Egg Flower Soup, and 2 or 3 pieces of BBQ Pork. The food is always at a perfect temperature and is really filling. I always have leftovers for the next day because after eating all the soup, prawns, and egg roll (I give my pork to my fiance cuz I don't eat a lot of pork)... I am usually too full to eat the rest of my meal. We usually have an appetizer with our meal so I usually get Crab Cheese Wantons. It's a really good meal. The minimum requirement for delivery, we think, is reasonable too... only $25 minimum and there is no delivery charge. We moved out of their delivery range back in October 2010... and we called to order tonight. They said that they usually would charge a $2 delivery charge because we are out of their delivery range... but because they were slow tonight, at the restaurant... the guy who took our order said that he'd make an exception and deliver to us anyway with no delivery charge. I have to give this place a 5 Star rating cuz they really deserve a 5 Star rating. Excellent Food and Excellent job, everyone. Food is AWESOME !!
Dinner for four = same size as dinner for two - delivery – The best Egg Foo Young I ever tasted was from China Star.
Ordered a delivery dinner special 'C' today and it arrived the same size as a previous dinner special 'B' I ordered not too long ago.
Lesson learned = China Star rating went from five star to one star in 45 minutes flat.
Better off eating our of the toilet – We waited ten minutes to get a seat when they were dead on a Sunday night. The guy at the counter was on a social call for ten minutes and didn't even acknowledge us. An older lady finally realized we have not been seated and sat us. her English was so bad she repeated everything twice and didn't understand a thing we asked her. Of course the order was wrong but why tell her when she didn't understand to begin with? The food was steamed and not stirfried because the wok was not hot enough when stirfrying. $40.00 for toilet food and horrible service. The lady waited 15 minutes to give us the check when we were obviously done eating. (Plates were stacked and pushed to the edge of the tabloe as a hint)
Mu Shu Pork with TORTILLA???? – I ordered "Mu Shu Pork with 4 pancakes" and got some oversalted cabbage and pork chunks with 4 out-of -package flour tortillas!! You would think that a Chinese restaurant would know the difference between Chinese pancakes and Mexican torillas!
Staff was very nice but the food was worse than the stuff that sits in warming trays for 6 hours in shopping center food courts... and,even with a coupon, it was not good value for the money.
Best Chinese Food! – This is the first time I've ever written A review, and I am doing it cause this place deserves it!!! I haven't had good Chinese food in a long time. Those Chinese food buffets that seem to be popping up everywhere are horrid! But I was really impressed with the food here. Like one reviewer said when you order an entree it comes with many little tid bits that they don't charge you extra for, like eggroll, couple fried shrimp pieces, soup and pork. The food comes out hot and freshly made, not like it's been sitting in a warming tube like you get at other restaurants. Might I suggest the honey sesame seed chicken, it's my favorite, my husband is a vegetarian and he loves their General Tso Tofu.
The out side of the restaurant can be a turn off just because it's on a strip mall but that's not the owners fault. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Once you walk it you forget that your in a little strip mall thanks to the view! The far side of the restaurant wall is nothing but glass windows giving you a perfect few of this long stretch of green grass from the golf course, spotted with a few pine tree. China Star is not a big restaurant, it's small, quiet, never crowded and peaceful. You don't have to strain to hear your boyfriend or girlfriend talk. That is a big plus to me.
I also love the sense of community, if you go into the bar you will see one wall has tons of pictures, pictures of the owners family, friends and regular customers celebrating events in the restaurant. This isn't just a business to them, their regular customers have become more then just customers.
It's really hard to find good food, good service and a peaceful atmosphere all at the same place.
And this review comes from someone that has been there more then once.
Best Chinese Food for Families! – I love China Star!! I first went after seeing a newspaper article in 2007 of them winning the City Search award. They were NOT lying! You get the most for your money here. A typical entree comes with soup, egg roll, rice, fried shrimp and bbq pork. And that's easily under $15! You also get unlimited free hot tea and everyone gets the fortune cookie. The atmosphere is beautiful, especially on a summer evening. You can sit by the windows and watch the golfers head in or sit in a spacious booth with a colorful glass pendant lamp hanging over. It's very quiet inside, I hardly ever hear other conversations. Some of the wait staff doesn't speak tremendous good english but they are all very friendly and always have a smile on their face. I go here at least once a week!
THE BEST Chinese food – My husband and I were looking for a place to break our children in, for Chinese food, as we were going to go to China and wanted the kids to get used to different food. My husband found China Star on the top 10 list for Chinese food. It is very difficult to find GOOD Chinese, and the reviews we read were all great! We went and were THRILLED with our order. We are vegetarian, and they accomodated us very nicely. The ladies that work there are amazing and sweet. We went back several times before our trip. When we returned, we had added a new member to our family. We had adopted a baby from China, and wanted to show her off to the ladies, as they knew were were going. They loved our baby, and spoke to her in Chinese and again, GREAT food! We have taken family, and friends to this restaurant and have made lovers out of all of them. I HIGHLY recommend their egg fu young (vegetable). I am not an egg fan, but just devour theirs. I think this place is awesome! My kids (who are very picky eaters) love it too. Thank You China Star! You are our favorite place to eat!
Awesome Food... And Awesome Service – This is my first time using City Search. My fiance and I moved to Washington State in 2006 and we had a lot of trouble finding a good chinese restaurant. While in Kent, one day, we happened to be on Meeker Street and saw a sign for this little chinese bistro called China Star. So we decided to check it out. Were we ever impressed. The food tastes great. The tempora breading they use on their entrees is awesome. I always like my chinese food to be crispy so I am always completely satisfied when we go there. The temperature of the food is excellent. The atmosphere is quiet and romantic and not too bright and not too dark. Last time we went to China Star... I decided I didn't want soda or tea... or any alcoholic beverages to drink so I ordered Chocolate milk instead. They didn't really have chocolate milk... per say... but they improvised and brought me chocolate milk made with Nesquick chocolate powder (which is what I prefer anyway). I was impressed at how the staff does all they can to meet, and exceed, their customers' needs. And they have a bar there if you would like a cocktail while you dine. We don't get made to sit at the bar either... we can have our cocktails served at our table. The booths, as well as the chair seats, are really comfortable as they are cushioned for extra comfort. The price we pay for our meals is always reasonable. and, since restroom cleanliness is always a big concern for any customer, no matter where we are, I gotta tell you... the restrooms at China Star are always very clean and well kept. We were there for the Chinese New Year and we each got the little red tickets. I got one that gave me a 20% discount off of a purchase of $20 or more. My fiance got a ticket for free egg rolls. Since we didn't get to use them before the expiration dates... the ladies there told us they would still honor them if we brought them in after the expiration date. WOW... now THAT'S GREAT SERVICE. This is why we give them 5 stars. Great Job !!

Electronic Arts Supporting Tiger Woods
Company says relationship with athlete remains unchanged.
Electronic Arts has offered up its support for golf star Tiger Woods following a week of media and tabloid speculation surrounding the car accident that took place outside his home early Friday morning.
"Our strong relationship with Tiger for more than a decade remains unchanged," a spokesperson told IGN. "We respect Tiger's privacy, we wish him a fast recovery and we look forward to seeing him back on the golf course."
Yesterday, Woods issued a statement on his website offering up an apology for his "transgressions" against his family.
"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone."

The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A 150-foot-wide asteroid will come remarkably close to Earth next week, even closer than high-flying communication and weather satellites. It will be the nearest known flyby for an object of this size.
Image shows a simulation of asteroid 2012 DA14 approaching from the south as it passes through the Earth-moon system next Friday. The 150-foot object will pass within 17,100 miles of the Earth.
The Associated Press
But don't worry. Scientists promise the megarock will be at least 17,100 miles away when it zips past next Friday.
"No Earth impact is possible," Donald Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object program at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., said Thursday.
Even the chance of an asteroid-satellite run-in is extremely remote, Yeomans and other scientists noted. A few hundred satellites orbit at 22,300 miles, higher than the asteroid's path, although operators are being warned about the incoming object for tracking purposes.
"No one has raised a red flag, nor will they," Yeomans told reporters. "I certainly don't anticipate any problems whatsoever."
Impossible to see with the naked eye, the asteroid is considered small as these things go. By contrast, the one that took out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was 6 miles wide.
Yet Asteroid 2012 DA14, as it's known for its discovery date, still could pack a wallop.
If it impacted Earth -- which it won't, scientists were quick to add Thursday -- it would release the energy equivalent of 2.4 million tons of TNT and wipe out 750 square miles. That's what happened in Siberia in 1908, when forest land around the Tunguska River was flattened by a slightly smaller asteroid that exploded about five miles above ground.
The likelihood of something this size striking Earth is once in every 1,200 years. A close, harmless encounter like this is thought to occur every 40 years.
The bulk of the solar system's asteroids are located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and remain stable there for billions of years. Some occasionally pop out, though, into Earth's neighborhood
The closest approach of this one will occur next Friday afternoon, Eastern time, over Indonesia. The asteroid will zip by at 17,400 mph. That's roughly eight times faster than a bullet from a high-speed rifle.
The asteroid will be invisible to the naked eye and even with binoculars and telescopes will appear as a small point of light. The prime viewing locations will be in Asia, Australia and eastern Europe.
Astronomers using NASA's deep-space antenna in California's Mojave Desert will have to wait eight hours after the closest approach to capture radar images.
Scientists welcome whatever pictures they get. The asteroid offers a unique opportunity to observe something this big and close, and any new knowledge will help if and when another killer asteroid is headed Earth's way.

Voluntary Cleanup Program Success Stories
Manchester Village
|Site After Cleanup
Manchester Cinema is a movie theater within Manchester Village, a mixed media redevelopment that was a former Brownfields site - the old York County Garbage Transfer Station. The property is located about 600 feet north of Dave Lyle Boulevard and 1000 feet west of Interstate 77 in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The original site consists of 150 acres and the remediated Manchester Cinemas site consists of 20 acres.
During the City of Rock Hill's ownership of the property, it leased the site to York County from 1983 - 1993 to operate a garbage transfer station. York County abandoned the site in 1993, but left some environmental contamination. Because environmental contamination was perceived to be onsite, developers were hesitant in purchasing this property. In 1999, the City of Rock Hill, as a responsible party, and Manchester Cinema, LLC, as a non-responsible party, each entered into a Voluntary Cleanup Contract with the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control. In exchange, the responsible party received covenant not-to-sue, and the non-responsible party received State Superfund liability protection, once assessment work was completed.
Since this site has been redeveloped, it has had a great impact on the community. Manchester Village has increased the tax base, developed new jobs and provided a better quality of life while protecting the environment. The 150 acres will generate approximately $80 million in retail sales this year. Of that amount, about $4 million will go toward taxes, with an added $1 million applied toward the local option sales tax that is available for roads and infrastructure. Nearly 800 people are now employed at the site that houses the Cinema, six restaurants, Target Store, a hotel, gas station and Piedmont Medical Center. The Village also houses two residential communities, one with 500 multi-family units and the other with a potential of 1,000 residential homes. Families are already living in these communities.
In recognition of this excellent Brownfields redevelopment, Manchester Village was awarded the 2001 Phoenix Award, the prestigious Brownfields redevelopment award for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Region IV. It also marks the second time a Brownfields redevelopment in South Carolina has been recognized by EPA. In 2000, the Carolinas Recycling Group received the Phoenix Award for its efforts to clean up and redevelop a site in Spartanburg, S.C.
2001 Phoenix Award Recipient - Manchester Village
Carolinas Recycling Group
|Site After Cleanup
Carolinas Recycling Group (CRG) owns and operates a redeveloped Brownfields site located at 2061 Nazareth Church Road in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Fourteen of the 24.31 acres were redeveloped with the other acreage acting as a buffer. The former owners of the site operated an aluminum recycling and smelting facility from 1966 until 1990, when they ceased operation and filed for bankruptcy. On January 16, 1996, a subsidiary of CRG titled, Carolina Industries Services Company (CISCO), became the Department of Health and Environmental Control's first party to negotiate an agreement through the Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP), which was expanded to include providing State Superfund liability protection to non-responsible parties. CRG spent approximately $1.5 million to assess, remediate and renovate the site and did so in one year.
Redeveloping this site has enhanced it both environmentally
and economically. CISCO began its operation at this location in 1996,
employing 73 skilled individuals. Now CRG has expanded to a total of eight
locations in the Upstate and employs 175 people. This site recycles more
than 11,000 tons of metals a month from surrounding communities. CRG's
annual sales have grown from $15 million to approximately $70 million.
Thanks in large part to its outstanding redevelopment of this Brownfields
site, CRG was awarded the prestigious Brownfields Redevelopment award
- the Phoenix Award - by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's Region IV in 2000.

|Sticky Tag:
Really remove the macro for LOCALLY, which is now a special form.
Remove the macro for LOCALLY, which is now a special form; from Raymond Toy.
Add support for define-symbol-macro.
Reworking of the values-type system to overcome a number of inconsistencies causing problems: o Redefine coerce-to-values to convert a single value type into (values type), rather than the former definition (values type &rest t). A single value type such as fixnum is now equivalent to (values fixnum). o Now when the compiler makes assertions for the first value of continuations that may be generating multiple values it asserts the type as (values type &rest t), or as (value &optional type &rest t) if it is not sure that the continuation does generate a value. o Enhance the type check generation to better handle the now common values types with optional and rest arguments. Add the new function Values-types-asserted which converts asserted optional and rest arguments to required arguments that have been proven to be delivered, Thus an assertion such as (values &optional fixnum &rest t) will generate a fixnum type check if the proven type if (values t). o The compiler is now far more likely to pickup attempts to use an assertion to select a subset of values. For example (the (values fixnum) (values x y)) will generated a compiler warning. o Update single values type assertions where appropriate to clarify that the received values may be optional or that multiple values may be received. For example, a macro argument which had been asserted to be a list via (the list ,...) would now be asserted to be (the (values &optional list &rest t)) etc. o Have the IR1 translator for THE convert single value types into (values &optional type &rest t) so that code such as (the fixnum (values x y)) will still work acceptably. This does not restrict the possible type assertions as the values types may be used and are not modified.
This set of revisions brings the RELENG_18 branch up to HEAD in preparation for an 18c release.
Update from the current main branch.
This (huge) revision brings the RELENG_18 branch up to the current HEAD. Note code/unix-glib2.lisp not yet included -- not sure it is ready to go.
Minor change to inhibit compiler notes about dead code removal when WITH-INPUT-FROM-STRING was called with an END argument.
Change %set-documentation to (setf documentation) to help operation with PCL loaded.
New shiftf from Bruno Haible fixes problem with duplicated places.
Prevent warnings from eg (case key (t))
Add ANSI lambda macro
initial post 1.3.7 merge
Werkowskis source kit 1.03.7
Fix headed boilerplate.
Added: (defsetf sap-ref-64 %set-sap-ref-64) and (defsetf signed-sap-ref-64 %set-signed-sap-ref-64) for the Alpha.
changed %deftype to use interface functions instead of (info type class ...)
edit lossage
Changed uses of RESTART-CASE to be detectable calls to error.
format-string -> format-control
Changed renamed get-setf-method-multiple-value to get-setf-expansion and define-setf-method to define-setf-expander. The old names are also defined for backward compatibility.
Really really fixed get-setf-method-multiple-value for local macros. Also, in the recursive calls, people were not propagating the environment through, and in some places were not recursing with the multiple-value version.
Rip out NS-BOOT conditionals.
new structure branch & tuning, see new_struct
Changed DOLIST not to introduce the spurious let around the result form when there is no result form. Also, just read the var in the spurious let, instead of using IGNORABLE, since the var might be special.
In %defsetf, don't bother creating temp vars for constants. This is necessary so that keywords stay keywords, and are not changed to gensyms.
Added DEFINE-COMPILER-MACRO.
Changed GET-SETF-METHOD-MULTIPLE-VALUE to try to macroexpand-1 the form when it's an atom in case it's a symbol-macro as per the X3J13 cleanup SYMBOL-MACROLET-SEMANTICS:SPECIAL-FORM. Now you can safely INCF, etc. symbol macros where the macroexpansion has side effects.
Fixed SETF of GETF to evaluate the various parts in the correct order as per X3J13 cleanup SETF-SUB-METHODS:DELAYED-ACCESS-STORES.
Fixed bug in NTH-VALUE where it expanded into bogus code unless ``n'' was a constant integer.
X3J13 cleanup SETF-MULTIPLE-STORE-VARIABLES: Extend the semantics of the macros SETF, PSETF, SHIFTF, ROTATEF, and ASSERT to allow "places" whose SETF methods have more than one "store variable". In such cases, the macros accept as many values from the newvalue form as there are store variables. As usual, extra values are ignored and missing values default to NIL. Extend the long form of DEFSETF to allow the specification of more than one "store variable", with the obvious semantics. Clarify that GET-SETF-METHOD signals an error if there would be more than one store-variable.
Changed the DEFSETF for SYMBOL-FUNCTION and SYMBOL-PLIST to FSET and %SET-SYMBOL-PLIST.
Changed all SAP-REF-mumble functions to take the offset in bytes.
Merged Lange's enhancement to NTH-VALUE; it now doesn't cons for non-constant N less than 3.
Fixed get-setf-method to only inhibit for local functions, not local macros too. Removed some bootstrapping code.
Added :PACKAGE constext declaration.
Frobbed SETF a bit more. We still always call GET-SETF-METHOD to let it do its thing, but if the result is just a call to the inverse, then directly call the inverse w/o any let binding. This makes setf inverses usable without the full interpreter.
Changed DEFSETF and DEFINE-SETF-METHOD to call a common subfunction, %DEFINE-SETF-MACRO, which checks for any existing definition as a slot accessor or other setf function. Changed GET-SETF-METHOD to ignore setf macros (always global) when there is a local macro or function. Changed SETF to always call GET-SETF-METHOD, instead of special-casing setf inverses. I was tired to keeping the duplicated code consistent. Generalized the special casing in SETF of APPLY. We now go for the SETF function when called on any symbol in the Lisp package. Now SETF of APPLY will work on all Common Lisp functions, instead of just two.
Fixed WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT keyword to be :OVERRIDE instead of :FORCE. Also, added :OPTIMIZE and :OPTIMIZE-INTERFACE for changing the "global" compilation policy within the dynamic extent. Added :CONTEXT-DECLARATIONS, which provides a way to insert declarations conditional on pattern mathcing of the context in which the definition appears. So you can compiler all external functions safe, or whatever.
New file header with RCS header FILE-COMMENT.
ignore => ignore
Added Dan's NTH-VALUE macro.
In destructuring-bind, pass NIL to parse-defmacro as the name, 'cause there is no name.
Ack. Maybe this time I got defsetter correct.
Changed a use of analyze1 to parse-defmacro.
Changed to use Blaine's parse-defmacro. Stripped out lots of bootstrapping code. Ripped out loop, 'cause the full blown loop macro now exists in it's own file.
Made DEFTYPE warn if redefining a structure and flame if a primitive type. Fixed it to test FBOUNDP on the right symbol so that %NOTE-TYPE-DEFINED can get called. Changed %%DEFUN to use DEFINE-FUNCTION-NAME and also to blow away any assumed type info.
Random stuff to get define-setf-method to cross compile.
Moved MIPS branch onto trunk; no merge necessary.
Flushed commented-out PUTF macro. Changed %PRIMITIVE PUTF to be %PUTF so that we can interpret SETF GETF.
Added UNSIGNED-BYTE declarations in DOTIMES to help type inference.
Changed DEFTYPE to expand into %DEFTYPE, and made %DEFTYPE call %NOTE-TYPE-DEFINED.
Merged non-descriptor changes: revision 18.104.22.168 date: 90/04/09 00:00:09; author: ram; state: Exp; lines added/del: 1/1 Fixed typo. ---------------------------- revision 18.104.22.168 date: 90/03/27 13:18:14; author: ram; state: Exp; lines added/del: 11/6 Changed WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT to hack delayed unknown type warnings. We define a handler for PARSE-UNKNOWN-TYPE.
.../systems-work/code/macros.lisp, 10-Feb-90 13:06:45, Edit by MBB. WITH-OUTPUT-TO-STRING-APPEND-STYLE: Changed the doc-string to exploit the new standard that was already there. WITH-OPEN-FILE-DOES-NOT-EXIST: Modified WITH-OPEN-FILE to not execute the body when OPEN fails. This is the new standard.
Added some missing commas in DEFTYPE.
Made %DEFMACRO set the interpreted function name to "DEFMACRO <name>" rather than just <name>. Also, changed %DEFUN to set the function name.
Changed DEFTYPE to use INFO instead of plist hackery.

Now, Warren County Community College in Washington, N.J., is giving back to these brave soldiers, creating a program that gives credits where credits are due.
They call the program VIPER, which stands for Veterans In Pursuit of Educational Readiness.
Through VIPER, veterans are eligible to receive up to 45 credits for their military training. That's applied directly to their degree.
There are many schools across the country that offer similar benefits but VIPER goes farther than most.
Military service members may be able to graduate with an associate's degree in just one semester.
The first two graduates of the VIPER program received their degrees this weekend.
Both are very grateful for the opportunities the program has given them.
And Warren County Community College offers many of the courses online, which means active-duty military can begin earning their degrees while stationed anywhere in the world.
Fox's Molly Line has more details on the program in this video report.

i can't get dead space 3 to see the saves. i've tried everything. even the last fix, delete the game, install again. i'm on 3.55 rogero. any ideea? somebody managed to get this to work? thx
Can anyone upload Need for Speed - Most Wanted (BLUS31010) 1.02 Update Fix & DLCs for CFW3.55?
abankmino did you personally try it?
Well I tried it - the updated new fix you directed me to in post #7527. Just as others have said, it autosaves, but once you exit the game, it does not recognize your previous saves... hence still doesnt work.
flaviud i'm having same problem as you, NO FIX seems to make dead space 3 work properly on 3.55 yet. I am very much considering 4.30 rogero since it seems easy to upgrade to that and i think all my games or most will still work.

ETS Study of Higher Education Outcomes Assessments Shows Student Motivation Has Significant Impact on Results
- Contact:
- Tom Ewing
(609) 683-2803
- Tom Ewing
Princeton, N.J. (September 25, 2012) —
With increasing pressure for accountability in higher education, outcomes assessments have been an important resource in evaluating learning and informing policy. Today, a report produced by ETS researchers titled "Measuring Learning Outcomes in Higher Education: Motivation Matters" provides evidence that simply modifying the pre-test instructions to increase motivation has a significant impact on scores on a commonly used higher education outcomes assessment, the ETS® Proficiency Profile. The report has been accepted for publication in the journal, Educational Researcher.
"The findings in this report provide institutions with strong empirical evidence that motivation matters. The report also demonstrates various practical strategies that, at low cost, could improve student performance by increasing motivation," said David Payne, Chief Operating Officer of the Higher Education Division at ETS. "The ETS Proficiency Profile has an established history of measuring program effectiveness and assessing student proficiency in core academic skill areas through its multiple choice format."
The key findings in the report include evidence that
- motivation has a statistically significant and substantial impact on scores,
- motivational strategies used in this study are effective in improving students' motivation and test scores, and
- conclusions about college learning gains (value-added learning) could change dramatically depending on the levels of motivation of the test takers and the format of the test (i.e., multiple-choice or constructed-response).
"Prior to this study, there was little empirical evidence supporting the claim that motivation matters in the use of standardized, general outcomes assessments," said Ou Lydia Liu, Research Scientist at ETS and Project Director of this study. "Policymakers, in particular, will find value in the results of this report because it demonstrates how prior research that reported limited college learning likely underestimated student performance by not considering the low motivation of some students in taking low-stakes tests. With the implementation of motivational strategies used in this report, institutions are likely to see more accurate and higher estimates of their students' performance."
For some time, researchers, institutional administrators and policy makers have questioned the role of motivation on outcomes assessments. This study has identified the magnitude of effect of motivation on test scores and provided practical strategies that institutions can use to boost student performance.

Customer Raves & Reviews
I could not be happier with my wedding invitations!
Lovely Lavender Tea-length Invitations Someone from Magnet Street actually called me the day after I put in my order because I forgot the return address on my RSVPs. I was very impressed with how quickly they called me and they sent my proof within an hour of getting off the phone with me. The invitations are beautiful and I could not have asked for a better company to work with! My invitations are exactly what I wanted and the best part is they are affordable! I have already recommended them to my friends who have upcoming weddings.
So impressed!
Lovely Lavender Tea-length Invitations We are so impressed with MagnetStreet and all of their wedding invitation products we have ordered from them. For this invitation, we ordered it in coral colour and it turned out wonderful! The only suggestion is to make the font much bigger than you think because it did turn out a little small. Overall, amazing! The invites will be a big hit and I cant wait to send them to everyone!

Bill Dwyre
10:45 PM EST, November 8, 2013
Saturday night at a black-tie dinner in Chicago, a Dodgers broadcaster will go into the Hall of Fame and it won't be Vin Scully.
A shocker? No.
Scully is already there. If there is a Hall of Fame that has any connection whatsoever to broadcasting and Scully isn't in it, it's a lousy Hall of Fame.
Now, Charley Steiner will be joining him. That means, next year, when fans tune in to Dodgers' baseball, they will be informed and entertained by three Hall of Famers. That's far from the norm, maybe a first, and should make Dodgers fans proud. Even if their team doesn't turn out to be a winner, they'll be getting the news from two of them. And in Spanish, from a third Hall of Famer, Jaime Jarrin.
Steiner's induction into the Radio Hall of Fame will be frosting on a lifetime of chocolate cake. We all have our dreams. Steiner lives his daily.
He is 64 and has been headed to where he is now, being a Dodgers broadcaster, for the last 58 years.
He grew up in Malverne, N.Y., on Long Island. He was a Dodgers fan. One October afternoon in 1955, left-hander Johnny Podres beat the New York Yankees in Game 7 of the World Series. It was the famous 2-0 game, the Sandy Amoros catch, the only Brooklyn World Series title.
Six-year-old Steiner was smitten, not just with the team, nor with just one of the golden voices describing the action, some kid named Scully. But also with the medium getting him the message.
"I was the proverbial RCA Victor dog," Steiner says, taking us back to the famous terrier, staring into the phonograph. "My parents bought a big old Zenith radio and I spent hours, ear pressed to it, listening to the Dodgers."
Somewhere between Amoros' catch and Roy Campanella hugging Podres in celebration, Steiner decided, as his life work, he wanted to broadcast Dodgers baseball games.
Two years later, the Dodgers left Brooklyn for Los Angeles, leaving behind millions of angry fans in Brooklyn and one very sad youngster on Long Island.
"Eight years old," Steiner says, "and my career path had ended."
Actually, Steiner was just presented with some turns in the road.
He graduated from Bradley University in Peoria, Ill., and went back years later as the school's commencement speaker. His broadcast career took him from Peoria to Davenport, Iowa; New Haven, Conn.; Hartford, Conn.; Cleveland; and on to New York. He did everything, from attending school board meetings to broadcasting high school sports.
"Here I was, this Jewish boy from Long Island, reading the hog prices on the radio," Steiner says. "I never mentioned that to my mother."
He got his national fame as an anchor on ESPN's SportsCenter, just as ESPN began to take off in the late 1980s. Before that, he worked United States Football League games in New York for Donald Trump's New Jersey Generals, and after that did Yankees games for George Steinbrenner. When he came to the Dodgers nine seasons ago, the team was owned by the McCourts.
That employment tripleheader alone should get you in the Hall of Fame. Or maybe into heaven.
For a while, he was in management at ESPN. When Steiner was at RKO radio, he hired Keith Olbermann. Also John Madden.
He also was among the best-known boxing broadcasters in the country. Slowly, the sport's brutality eroded his interest, and when Mike Tyson bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear in 1997, Steiner knew he had done his last boxing match. But he went out swinging, leaving the audience with the classic summary: "Evander Holyfield and portions of his right ear were taken to a hospital tonight in separate cars."
In the fall of 2004, Steiner got the call. The Dodgers were looking for a replacement for Ross Porter. Soon, he was driving to his mother's house in Long Island, the same house where he put his ear up to the giant Zenith and dreamed about this job. He was about to do the only thing he ever really wanted — broadcast Dodgers baseball.
"My mom was 92," he says. "My dad had died six months earlier. I called and told her I was coming with some news. She was excited. She fixed lunch.
"I told her I got the Dodgers job. She says, 'Oh, wow. When do we move to L.A.?'
"My cellphone rings. The voice on the other end says, 'Charley, this is Vin. Welcome to the Dodgers family.' I tell my mom I better take this call.
"I am getting chills up and down my spine. Same house where I first heard that voice. Same house where I first wanted to be what I had just become."
Charley and Gertrude Steiner moved to Los Angeles, she into an assisted-living home, where she could hear her son call games. She died five years ago.
Saturday night in Chicago, Steiner will tell much of this story. Surrounding him will be pictures of his sports predecessors — the Hall is for all of radio, not just sports. Steiner's previously inducted peers include the likes of Red Barber, Jack Buck, Harry Caray, Ernie Harwell, Mel Allen, Bob Uecker, even Ronald Reagan, who used to dazzle them on WHO in Des Moines.
Oh, yes, and that Scully guy, who is sports radio's Sultan of Swat.
"I tell people I have the perfect job," Steiner says. "Everyday, I go to work and get to play pepper with Babe Ruth."
Now, Charley Steiner gets to do more than play pepper. He gets to join Babe's club.

MOM-Bot 1.0
The Problem
Global Warming, I'm certain by now most of the public worldwide know what this concept is about, and most probably tired of hearing what a huge problem it is but no long term solutions are being proposed. Unfortunately that is still a working progress, but in the mean time we can try to reduce the after effects of Global warming such as climate change by tackling each greenhouse gas in the atmosphere such as Methane. In theory MOM-Bot machine is suppose to reduce methane in the atmosphere by using the methane-oxidizing archaea and sulfur-reducing bacteria still working in consortia but in a controlled manner and preferably working in the atmosphere not on the ground level. Methane will be reduced by filtering methane gas from the air using liquid nitrogen, then feeding it to methane oxidizing archaea and bacteria.
Plan of Action
I plan to improve the design of the machine to make it more effective, then introduce it to sponsors as an idea with sufficient evidence proving its effectiveness which I already have and hopefully obtain funds for experiment equipment ;and building of the prototype and final product. After funding has been provided external experiments will be conducted which will demonstrate the processes or reactions that will take place within the machine; when we obtain positive results building of the prototype will begin. Of course we have to know exactly where we going to test the machine (prototype), the machine will be tested in South African mines (kimberly) -where there is a great amount of natural gas being released in the atmosphere- which is where the research will also take place. After collecting the results from the prototype we will then produce the final product and place it on the market for the entire would to use especially environmental companies aiming at reduce global warming and climate change.

Today, the people you need to reach to get your job done are often out of touch, on the road, or out of their office. The connecting challenge is difficult. But we are learning to connect by e-mail and voice mail. Receiving 200 e-mails a day is about the norm. While many of these messages are from distribution lists and may not require a response, message systems must be managed. Integrated voice and message systems, as well as Web access on cellular phones, assist us in keeping connected.
The headquarters campus where I work has 300 workers in multiple buildings on 34 acres. We must purposefully schedule meetings to stay connected.
Last month, while visiting another city, we reconnected with a hotel salesperson with whom we had a meeting in 1992. It seemed so nice to reconnect after 10 years of no connection. Staying in touch is essential.
Beginning in 1972, the goal and commitment of RCMA have been to connect religious meeting planners with the industry. There has been an ongoing effort to bring an understanding and appreciation for the religious segment of the meeting industry and those who labor in it. It has taken hard work to forge the connections. We now enjoy the fruits of those who labored before us. It is incumbent upon our current membership to not only enjoy the benefits of this marvelous connection to industry providers and one another, but to continue the connection.
The religious market is an inclusive niche market. Let's make RCMA's connections even stronger!
