Revision as of 14:46, 21 August 2008
The RAP project provides the 'WebWorkbench' by copying the original platform code and change those things that don't work in RAP. Unfortunately this is the worst thinkable way of code-reuse. Adopting to code changes of the original code is error-prone and time-consuming.
As it is intented to integrate RAP into e4, we've been marking the code changes with 'RAP' markers so that we are now able to identify what we've done so far to get the code working within RAP. Looking at the bundles org.eclipse.rap.jface, org.eclipse.rap.jface.databinding, org.eclipse.rap.ui, org.eclipse.rap.ui.forms, org.eclipse.rap.ui.views, org.eclipse.rap.ui.workbench we have about 1900 markers...
What I've seen so far, none of those markers point to code that can simply be merged with the origninal code. To explain this a little bit more in detail I put up a list that categorizes the main types of problems (I've created wiki pages for each of the topics. This way it may be easier to discuss the individual issues in individual mail threads - as opposed to everybody responding to one mail with lots of issues):
2) Singletons
5) Jobs
6) Cleanup on Session Shutdown
At least the items 2, 3 and 5 are consequences of the multi user support and therefore could be of common interest heading for e4. So maybe this is a good starting point for a discussion of how to solve such problems. E.g. replacing Singletons with the SessionSingletonBase approach from RWT (see Singletons) is of course RAP specific and doesn't work as a generic solution.

Identifying the Chromosome 12q Gene: Sifting Through the Haystack
Margaret A. Pericak-Vance, Ph.D.
Duke University
Durham, North Carolina
2005 Investigator-Initiated Research Grant
The association of four genes with Alzheimer's disease has been well-established now for several years. Mutations in three genes cause the rare, inherited form of Alzheimer's that usually affects people in middle or late middle age. A certain variation in another gene is associated with an increased risk of developing the more common late-onset Alzheimer's disease. While researchers believe that there may be several more such risk, or susceptibility, genes, and while they have found a number of important "leads," these genes are proving difficult to identify.
Margaret A. Pericak-Vance, Ph.D., and colleagues are concentrating on a region of particular interest on chromosome 12. Several studies comparing the genetic profiles of families affected by late-onset Alzheimer's disease has done much to narrow the search to a few relatively narrow regions on this chromosome.
The Pericak-Vance research team suspected that a chromosome 12 susceptibility gene remained elusive because its risk-associated form may appear in only a certain subset of people that share some other genetic trait. This thinking has narrowed their search to a more defined region, and they will now focus on "reading" specific genetic code in this region and comparing genetic data from this subset of people in more detail.
This work may contribute valuable data to the painstaking process of identifying and confirming the role of genetic risk in Alzheimer's disease. As with previous findings about Alzheimer-associated genes, this work may contribute to our understanding of both risks and disease processes.

BOSTON — The Bruins' training camp is now a week old and the 2011-12 edition of the team is starting to take shape.
After the 14 cuts made last night, the Bruins were down to six forward lines and 11 defensemen for their two practice sessions today at TD Garden.
Center Patrice Bergeron was also missing, as he's headed for Bathurst, where he played his junior hockey. He'll have his number retired there Sunday. Head coach Claude Julien confirmed that after playing in the Bruins' first two preseason games, Bergeron will miss the next two contests.
Kirk MacDonald, who was among the Friday cuts, stuck around Boston to fill in for Bergeron today.
For further reading, here's a feature I did on Bergeron for the Boston Herald. And here's a piece I wrote for CBS Boston on Rich Peverley.

As with all the best bread recipes, this traditional bread is simplicity itself. The ingredients in a traditional Irish soda bread are flour, baking soda, salt and buttermilk. The brown soda bread is an every day staple, served with soup and other meals or alone but nearly always with lashings of butter. The white soda is the more refined version and often contains a handful of raisins.
It's true that soda bread dries out quickly after slicing, but it makes fantastic toast the next day. An Irish soda bread base can make great flavoured breads, with cheese, herbs, olives, roast cherry tomatoes, red onion or garlic, although strictly speaking it ceases to become an Irish soda bread when any of these things are added. I always think it is best eaten freshly-baked and warm or toasted, slathered liberally with butter and smothered in good jam.
400g plain flour
1 tsp caster sugar
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp salt
350ml buttermilk
2 handfuls of raisins
1. Preheat the oven to 230C/gas 8.
2. Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Pour in most of the buttermilk (leaving about 60ml in the measuring jug), at this stage add in the raisins if using. Using one hand with your fingers splayed (or two knives), bring the flour and liquid together, adding more buttermilk if necessary. Do not knead the mixture or it will become heavy. The dough should be soft but not too wet and sticky, but with the minimum amount of handling.
3. When the dough comes together, turn onto a floured work surface and bring together a little more. Pat the dough into a round about 4cm deep and cut a deep cross in the top.
4. Place the dough onto a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then turn down the heat to 200C/gas 6 and bake for a further 30. When ready, the loaf will be browned and will sound slightly hollow when tapped on the base.
5. Cool on a wire rack, wrapped in a clean tea-towel for a slightly softer crust.

Derry library's proposed 2015 budget moves forwardBy Hunter McGEE
Union Leader Correspondent
April 22. 2014 10:48PM
DERRY — Derry Public Library's proposed 2015 fiscal year budget of $1,252,662 has been moved forward by the Town Council without any cuts.
The budget is coming in at 1.7 percent less than the fiscal year 2014 budget, said Jack Robillard, library trustee and treasurer, during a budget workshop last week. He appeared at the workshop with Susan Brown, who has been serving as assistant and acting library director.
In his presentation, Robillard said the library has a highly trained staff with many staff members having master's degrees. Libraries are becoming increasingly more technical and require staff members with various degrees of expertise.
In developing the budget, library officials wanted to be efficient but fairly compensate employees for their experience and ability, he said.
An attempt to reduce the bottom line by approximately $26,796 for salary raises was defeated in a 4-2 vote. Councilor Michael Fairbanks abstained.
Council Chairman Mark Osborne made the motion to reduce the budget.
In voting against the cut, Councilors David Fischer and Joshua Bourdon praised library administrators for efficiently running the library and following a policy of not granting overtime.
"I just think they are being efficient and effective, and I think we need to carefully consider that when we are talking about the bottom line," Fischer said.
Bourdon agreed, saying the budget is coming in less than last year and the staff isn't unionized and doesn't take benefits.
"With what they have to work with, they seem to be doing a pretty darn good job," Bourdon said.

EMBELTON email@example.com_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2005-01-29 published
Lori Lynn MASON and James EMBELTON -- Match:
By Judith TENENBAUM, Saturday, January 29, 2005 - Page M4
Like many young Australians, James John EMBELTON went on a "walkabout" after graduating from university. The rite of passage is almost a national tradition, says Mr. EMBELTON, who graduated from Monash University in Melbourne in 1994.
"It's encouraged that graduates put a pack on their back, buy a one-way ticket, and see the world," he says. "I thought I'd stop [in Toronto], get a job for a year, and see what I thought."
That was more than 10 years ago. "I made Friends," he says, "did well career-wise, and started to love the place."
Within a few years of his arrival, he became a Canadian citizen and began working in financial services. He succumbed to the opiate of Muskoka winters, highlighted by an annual weekend at a rustic retreat near Gravenhurst, Ontario, owned by his friend Craig MARSHALL.
It was in this serene environment that Mr. EMBELTON staged a surprise proposal to Toronto native Lori Lynn MASON that reflected the international nature of their relationship.
The two had met at AIC Mutual Funds, where they were working in sales, in February of 2001. Each was in another relationship at the time, but their water-cooler musings heated up into romance by 2003. "Lori has an incredible smile and beauty. We are both motivated and caring," he says.
"Many women go gaga over him, but the accent wasn't a draw," says Ms. MASON, a business graduate of Mohawk College in Hamilton. "He is kind and intelligent."
Mr. EMBELTON made his move in March, 2004, after some stealthy manoeuvring. The pair had planned to make the annual trip to Mr. MARSHALL's place in Muskoka, but at the last minute, Mr. EMBELTON told Ms. MASON to go ahead on her own, saying he needed to study for his financial-analyst exam. In fact, he was taking care of some last-minute engagement details.
Things almost went awry, Mr. MARSHALL recalls. "James was travelling on business and left me his package to bring up to the camp. I picked up flowers for him, but in my rush, because I was entertaining the whole group, I got halfway and realized, 'Oh my God!' I'd left it."
The package was critical to Mr. EMBELTON's plans, so Mr. MARSHALL pulled a few strings to get it: "Fortunately, my ex-wife lives next door [to me]," he says with a laugh, "is a good friend, and likes James and Lori, so she hired a locksmith to break into my house so James could swing by for his stuff."
The next morning, Mr. EMBELTON rushed to Muskoka to rendezvous with two confederates who helped him set the scene. "It was beautiful, near zero, not a cloud in the sky and we set up a blanket on a snow-covered hill where Lori and I had spent time before," he says.
To paraphrase Jimmy Kennedy's lyrics to The Teddy Bears' Picnic, Ms. MASON "went into the woods that day, and she was sure of a big surprise." Mr. EMBELTON whisked Ms. MASON off by snowmobile to the secluded proposal spot, where the contents of the package were laid out against a backdrop of white pines: champagne flutes and a toy koala and polar bear teddy holding Australian and Canadian flags, respectively.
"I felt we were destined to be together," Ms. MASON says. "I was very emotional."
On September 5, Canadian and Australian flag bearers planted their standards on either side of the altar at All Saints Anglican Church in Etobicoke, where the bride taught Sunday school.
A design of a maple leaf and Australian gum leaf, their stalks intertwined, appeared on the invitations and in all facets of the wedding.
Ms. MASON, 30, entered on her father's arm to strains of Waltzing Matilda and O Canada. A bouquet on the altar honoured her late mother.
Close friend Reverend Timothy FOLEY, youth director Susan OLIVER and assistant priest Michael LLOYD incorporated a full Eucharist service into the ceremony. Mr. MARSHALL serenaded the audience on guitar as the couple signed the register.
The bridegroom, 32, was a national champion in yachting, and fittingly, the reception was held at the Boulevard Club. The bridal party entered to Australia's rousing football song with the newlyweds making their debut to the Hockey Night in Canada theme.
The 130 guests included 25 from abroad, whom the groom calculated logged a total of 270,000 kilometres to be there.
The newlyweds are now off for a two-year stint in Australia, where Mr. EMBELTON has accepted an associate director position at Macquarie Bank.
"It is more than a geographical change," says his bride, who looks forward to taking on new challenges there, including volunteer work caring for infants born with cocaine addiction.
"In Australia, I won't have the commitments I have here, so I'll have the time."

Story posted May 19, 2008
They have been referred to as the New Old Dead Poet's Society, or words to that effect. But Bowdoin's newly revived literary-debating organization, the Peucinian Society, is hardly an arcane, secret fraternity.
When they are not rattling the windows of the Peucinian Room in Sills Hall with heated evening discussion, the group of 30 or so student club members (women definitely included) are preparing formal "disputations," or orations, hosting public speakers on hot-button topics of the day, working to recruit new members, or enjoying such literary pleasures as their annual Homerathon—an eight-hour recitation of The Odyssey. The original society, one of the oldest in the nation, counted among its members Henry Wadworth Longfellow (1825), Franklin Pierce (1824), and Joshua Chamberlain (1852).
The newest version traces its lineage to three current sophomores—Ross Jacobs' 10, Julian Chryssavgis '10, and Christine Carletta '10 —government department majors who met in a 2006 first-year seminar, Modernity and Its Discontents, an interdisciplinary course that cut a wide intellectual swath through 500 years of science, religion, morality and politics. The course ignited fierce ideological battles among the trio. "[We] had hours and hours of debate, a ferocious dialectic between politics and philosophy," recalls Jacobs. "We would go into the library and they wouldn't stop. Finally, Julian and I had a heated e-mail exchange about the value of ambition. He sent me a 10-page letter and I sent him a 10-page letter back." The pair eventually emailed both of their letters to former Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, in Chryssavgis's home state of Massachusetts. The ex-Governor wrote back with an opinion somewhere in the middle, and suggested that the duo could do a lot of great work together. It didn't take much more prodding than that.
They hit the library in earnest, researching the history of debating at the College. They quickly discovered that Bowdoin was home to one of the nation's oldest literary-debate societies, the Peucinians, founded in 1805. To date, there have been 1,456 Peucinian members (give or take a few from the current membership). The group had an intense rivalry with another prominent Bowdoin literary club, the Athenaean Society, to which Nathaniel Hawthorne belonged. Together, the societies amassed thousands of books before the Hubbard Library was established. The two societies merged in 1880 but eventually dissolved as fraternities became popular on campus. "The kind people in Special Collections rolled out volumes and carts of old information, catalogs and papers about the original Peucinian Society," says Jacobs. "We were in a literal trance as we dug through these old treasures and watched the society come to life before our eyes. We found written statements from Longfellow and Chamberlain about their days with the society and we laughed as we noticed the differences between their style and ours."
A Modern Take on Tradition
The students decided it was time to reclaim the Peucinian Society and took diligent notes to piece together a picture of the customs, activities and spirit of the historic society. They read through special correspondence between members of the Peucinians and other historic literary societies, including Yale's Skull and Bones Society and the Cambridge Apostles. They contacted other colleges to compare notes. After weeks of discussion, they came up with what Jacobs terms "a modern vision of a Peucinian Society that would be compatible with Bowdoin's culture today but would not compromise the decorum, intensity, and profundity of the original organization." By the fall of 2007 when the first official meeting was held, the society had 10 members. By mid-term spring 2008, its membership was 30 and growing.
Bi-monthly disputations, or debates, are held on Thursday nights and are presided over by Jacobs, the society's co-president (Julian Chryssavgis is on leave for the academic year). Members are required to attend all sessions and to dress appropriately (suit and tie or the feminine equivalent). Debates are preceded by the recitation of a poem, selected by the group's poet laureate, English major Samuel Smith '10. Then two members square off at the dais, presenting contrasting arguments on the evening's topic. Debate topics are broadly derived from a set of stated intellectual priorities that span Western political and moral philosophy from ancient Greece to the present. They begin with fundamental questions about the nature of virtue or of love, the relationship between faith and politics, the definition of a common good—and quickly become a place where students can "talk about the most contentious issues in our country right now," says Jacobs. "Issues of faith, of sexuality, of race."
Each disputation topic is presented as a "resolution," an inflammatory statement of fact, such as: "Man must be forced to be free," or "Violence is always evil," or "Federalism has outlived its usefulness to America." Following delivery of their formal arguments, the issue is opened up for group debate. What is perhaps most astonishing is not that the students are debating such issues, but that they are doing so after a full day of classes in the red-hot center of the semester. For no academic credit.
"I think there is an enormous amount of potential in this organization," says Professor of Government Paul Franco, one of the club's 10 overseeing faculty members. "These students come into my classes all fired up. It provides this amazing outside-the-classroom forum for students to discuss the very important issues without depending on professors to aim them in the right direction. I find it fantastic that they have that self-responsibility toward an intellectual goal." "People don't have to force themselves to come to meetings," explains Christine Carletta, the society's provost. "It's something they look forward to. It's really nice to have a place to really sit down and talk with the brightest minds at Bowdoin without worrying about what professors think ... and without time restraints."
Normally, the decibel level in the room gets pretty high—in spite of Jacobs' firm grasp of Robert's Rules of Order, which he exercises routinely from his place at the head of the table. However, there was one moment last semester when a particularly heated discussion suddenly came to a complete standstill. Group members just stared at each other. "We all came to this instantaneous realization that this was just the very best conversation any of us had ever had on campus," says Carletta. "We were completely awed by it."
Keeping Faith With Reason
On an early spring night mid-semester, Peucinian members stream downstairs into the warm, woody confines of the Peucinian Room dressed in coats and ties, dresses and heels. Before they get started, founding member Hassan Muhammad '10 riffs soothing jazz strains on a portable keyboard, while members chat and nosh on cold cuts around a massive seminar table. First up is history major Tim O'Brien '10, who is arguing in favor of the evening's resolution: "Cultural secularism is bad for America."
"I wrote it this afternoon," says O'Brien of his heated, seven-page written defense of America's Judeo-Christian cultural underpinnings. "I am emphasizing that our country is founded on the idea that a secular government is best because it allows for all religions," says O'Brien, leaning into the podium to deliver his talk. "The problem is that we have gotten away from this today, taking secularism to mean no religions. We want religion to be whittled away until it is nothing more than a personal preference, so that it will have no effect on politics or our public; this is a mistake."
O'Brien urges his fellow classmates to consider the poverty of a secular society without the moral underpinnings of faith. "I do not deny that completely secular people can be moral ... What I do deny is that people, with only reason and no faith, have any reason to be moral," he challenged. "Faith extends to an area Reason alone can not reach." His opponent, Sam Smith, delivers a less scripted, though equally passionate rebuttal. "Human beings are defined by a desire to create, to see themselves and the world around them, to craft grand visions," says Smith. "What religion does, what Christianity does, is to take that away from us," he argues. "If you are to remove Christianity, there must be something to replace it. The absence would be nihilism. There are many things that could fill the void left by a God: poetry, art, a faith in community, classical philosophy, all things that could call upon the strengths and the will of a nation without depending upon a divine word." Afterwards, O'Brien, a devout Catholic, gauges that Sam's more psychologically oriented argument has prevailed among the group. "The people I expected to side with me did. But Sam definitely had the majority with him," said O'Brien. "He wasn't arguing that secularity is good, but that religion is bad. I totally disagree with him, but I think he did an eloquent job of making his argument."
Rather than feeling defeated by the direction of the debate, O'Brien seemed strengthened by the process of articulating his own beliefs and grateful to speak frankly about his faith in an academic setting—an environment that is normally the embodiment of secularism. "My Catholicism makes me passionate about searching for truth, which is why I'm here in the first place," reflects O'Brien "We can get into an argument here and no one makes personal attacks, no one takes it personally. We can put our hearts on our sleeve, then afterwards shake hands and laugh about it. Being in a group like this makes you more comfortable being around people who believe differently than yourself." "The ability to articulate ideas in a graduated, sensible way is something that will very much support these students later on," observes Franco. "But the leadership and oral skills pale in comparison to the sheer intellectual excitement of the thing. "To look back on such an experience, well, this is the sort of thing that we all wish our college experience had more of," says Franco. "Deep friendships are forged on the basis of having such intellectual conversation. You don't get much more liberal artsy than that."
Giving the Questions Heat
For Jacobs in particular, the intellectual goals of the Peucinain Society appear to be along the order of a crusade. It is not uncommon to find him striding across campus asking relative strangers such questions as: "Do you agree with this statement? 'The 1960s were a total disaster.'" Perhaps more astonishing than the question itself is Jacobs's response: He actually listens.
"I really do feel a need to bring people together around serious discourse," explains Jacobs. "It's an important priority for students to build a bridge between our academic and our social lives." He says he selected Bowdoin largely on the basis of the Offer of the College. "When I got here, I really wanted to have generous enthusiasms, I envisioned people having intellectual discussions everywhere. "What I learned my first semester is that the Offer of the College is not the gift, it's the OFFER. The potential is here, but ... it's up to us to give the enduring questions heat." Thanks in part to the intellectual fomentation of one group of students, discussion of those questions at Bowdoin endures well into the 21st century.
I really do feel a need to bring people together around serious discourse ... It's an important priority for students to build a bridge between our academic and our social lives.
— Ross Jacobs '10

Two things: 1. Return EIO error when try to read uninitialized extents for now. 2. Making sure we never merge two extents into a one that are larger than 2^15 blocks long. We still need to make preallocation as INCOMPAT feature once the full implementation in place. Seems probably a too big item for the first series. Thanks, Mingming

Dover police: Maine man had 22 pounds of marijuanaBy TIMOTHY BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 23. 2013 9:29PM
DOVER — A Maine man who allegedly was transporting 22 pounds of marijuana was arrested Tuesday by state and Dover police on a charge of possession with intent to distribute marijuana.
Police said they conducted "a controlled delivery" of the marijuana, which they said was transported by James Barnes, 30, of Wells, Maine. Police did not elaborate on what the controlled delivery involved. State police referred questions to Dover police, but a Dover police sergeant referred questions back to state police.
Barnes is scheduled to appear today in Dover District Court.

Just-Released 'Empire Strikes Back' Deleted Scene Reveals Extended Sparring Between Han and Leia [VIDEO]
George Lucas is famous — or should we say infamous — for tinkering with the original 'Star Wars' movie trilogy. For example, he's "updated" them with CGI technology that was unavailable at the time they were originally shot, much to the dismay of movie purists the world over who felt they were perfect as-is.
But when the umpteenth re-release of the films, 'Star Wars: The Complete Saga,' comes out in Blu-ray on September 16, fans will get to see what Lucas didn't include, such as this deleted scene between Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) from 'The Empire Strikes Back.'
In the original cut of the movie, the sexually-charged exchange ends with Leia rejecting Han by spitting, "I'd just as soon kiss a Wookie!" and Han's rebuttal, "I can arrange that… You could use a good kiss!"
The scene that wound up on the cutting-room floor was longer, and the barbs sharper.

The Power of Carbonation
It's the power of carbonation that allows us to clean your carpet & fabrics with such amazing effectiveness. Similar to using club soda to remove stains from a shirt, we've evolved the same concept in our carpet cleaning process. Carbonation lifts dirt & grime to the surface much easier so less water has to be consumed. This gives you much faster drying times and less chance of harmful bacteria from growing.
Our Hot Carbonation Extraction (HCE) Cleaning Process
Instead of traditional carpet steam cleaning, we use an exclusive patented method that's able to combine our carbonated cleaning solution with extreme heat for the deepest and most effective carpet cleaning possible. Our Hot Carbonation Extraction (HCE) carpet cleaning method is approved by the Carpet & Rug Institute and will leave you & your family with Drier, Healthier, Cleaner carpet. And because our process uses much less water, your carpets dry much faster so you don't have to wait as long to start enjoying them again.
Cleaning that's Green & Clean
Rest assured our cleaning solution, The Natural™, is made completely from all-natural ingredients. You'll find NO soaps, detergents, solvents, enzymes or other harsh chemicals in The Natural™. This means you get Green & Eco-Friendly carpet cleaning that is completely safe for your children & pets.
Why Baker's Chem-Dry?
Faster Carpet Cleaning! Carpets cleaned our way are left sparkling clean and dry in a few hours, not the 1-2 days you may have experienced with other cleaning methods. We don't use soaps, detergents, or any harsh chemicals to accomplish our great cleaning results because we use the power of crystal clear carbonating bubbles!
Deeper Carpet Cleaning! Have you ever used club soda to remove a stain from a shirt? If so, you already know how our carbonating principle works. We have merely perfected the principle for carpet and upholstery cleaning. The powerful carbonating bubbles deep clean in a safe and gentle way. No soapy cleaning chemicals or do-it-yourself machines can possibly out clean the Chem-Dry way. Guaranteed!
Healthier Carpet Cleaning! Most people still believe the only way to clean their carpets is to "soak" them with water and detergents and "suck" it all back up. This method can actually dump gallons of water on your carpet and padding. When left behind, this water becomes a breeding ground for mold and bacteria in just hours! That is why our low moisture process is healthier.

Music Department Chair Peter Hulen praised Bennett's work, reading aloud a portion of the book's description and reviews to the guests.
'I located some 162 cantatas that were performed by star singers and instrumentalists,' Bennett says. 'The texts deal with every aspect of love; there are a few moral cantatas and several that celebrated historic events and other special occasions. My book deals with the cultural background, the bios of the composers, the repertoire and sources, and of course the style of the music.'

In case you missed it, today was a big day for deer hunters in Wisconsin. We received news that James Kroll, a private-land deer manager from Texas, released his interim whitetail report for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
Kroll was retained by Gov. Scott Walker's administration to serve as a "deer czar," offering his opinions on the state's deer management program and management practices. Kroll, who is being paid up to $125,000 for less than a year's worth of service, has enlisted well-known wildlife biologists David Guynn Jr. and Gary L. Alt to assist in his review. The money is coming directly from Wisconsin hunters; segregated funds from the State Fish and Wildlife Account.
The report, posted today on the DNR website, spans 186 pages, but only 21 of those pages are "new content." Much of the report is rehashed data that was collected during the state's Deer 2000 study, and the rest of it is Kroll's resumé and vitae.
It is going to take me some time to digest Kroll's entire report, (read it yourself here) but my first reaction is to quote a line from a popular Billy Joel song: "Is that all you get for your money?"
Forgive my sarcasm. My take on this subject is nothing personal against Mr. Kroll, Mr. Alt or Mr. Guynn. They have done credible and important work in their careers. However, I'm always one to call a spade a spade, and this preliminary report is disappointing. Mostly, because Wisconsin hunters essentially paid this team to essentially rehash what hunters in this state already knew.
Further, it appears that much of this review is purely subjective and based off on an unscientific survey of 486 people who visited Kroll's personal website. You would expect more for $125,000.
Among the "conclusions" Team Kroll listed in the report are these Top 5 head-scratchers:
Deer Trustee Conclusion:
"We were surprised to see that "sublegal" spiked bucks were recorded as antlerless deer. We understand the thinking possibly behind this, but do not support it."
They possibly understand the reasoning behind allowing hunters in a one-buck season (one for archery and one for gun) being allowed to check a buck with 1-inch spikes as a doe? Really? It's called common sense. If you force a hunter to put his buck tag on it, guess what? Yes, that's right … the buck gets kicked into the grass and left behind. What's more, how many sublegal bucks are shot each year? Don't know, but it's not many. Allowing them to slip under the antlerless quota is a minuscule price to pay.
If I have misread their concerns on sublegal spike bucks, and they merely wanted these bucks "counted" in the overall harvest figures, it still doesn't make much sense to point that out as a major concern. After all, we already know that about 20 to 25 percent of all "antlerless" harvests are comprised of buck fawns. That is already factored into harvest quotas. Adding in sublegal spikes wouldn't push that needle a fraction of percent on the overall harvest.
Deer Trustee Conclusion:
"Important activities such as herd health checks performed by local biologists, range assessments, morphometric studies related to physical condition are notably absent."
Another "ah-ha" moment for the researchers. Let's see, yes, that is correct: When the state cut the DNR's workforce by more than 500 employees in the early 2000s, it started a trend that continues today: There's no one left to do the work, much less a budget for carrying it out.
Deer Trustee Conclusion:
"We also were surprised, in spite of being a recognized 'big buck' state, Wisconsin does not have a big buck record book. On the surface this may appear to favor 'trophy management,' when in reality it fosters information gathering, and provides yet another way for biologists and citizens to interact."
Um, yes we do. It's called "Wisconsin Trophy Records," and it spans 500 pages. It is available for order directly from the Wisconsin Buck and Bear Club.
Deer Trustee Conclusion:
"The vast majority of both forestlands (>60% of area) and farmlands (>90% of farms) have no formal agreement with WDNR to provide public access for deer hunting. This implies that access to most (likely >70%) deer habitat, deer populations and hunting/management opportunities is controlled by private landowners."
Wrong again. The state does, in fact, have TWO formal programs. One is called the Managed Forest Law. Within this law is a caveat that offers huge tax breaks to landowners who enroll. When they do, they must allow open hunting (under a tiered program). The fact that many landowners do not participate is because they, too, are hunters and don't want to share access.
The second program is called Unlimited Public Access, and it was implemented more than two years ago. In this program, the state makes a lease payment to landowners who open up their property for public hunting. To date, it has opened up more than 50,000 acres to deer hunting.
Deer Trustee Conclusion:
"We also searched the WDNR website as a 'landowner' and could not find any contact information or link to 'our' biologist. This stems from an inherent mind set that the function of WDNR is regulation, not facilitation of deer management by landowners or organizations. Many states have Deer Management Assistance Programs (DMAPs) which generally foster higher credibility."
Sounds to me like someone doesn't know how to use the Internet. It took me precisely 40 seconds to find this county-by-county searchable directory on the WIDNR site (attached photo).
These men obviously have a ton of deer research experience. And, to be fair, their report includes some valuable information, clarifications and reminders. Among them is this line item on wolves in Wisconsin:
Deer Trustee Conclusion:
"The current wolf population is at least three times higher than the goal. This has not been due to inaction by the Wisconsin DNR, rather federal regulations providing protection to wolves."
I will be reporting more of my analysis of this report in the coming days. Check back at this blog each Tuesday morning for new installments.
What are your thoughts? Read the report, then check in with your opinions.

The PostOpen Event – Why It Is So Important
PowerBuilder fundamentals
Mar. 6, 2013 02:00 PM
Normally I try to write applications on the DataWindow or Appeon but every now and then I get a question that makes me sit back and say, "Huh?"
In this case the question concerns the PostOpen event. I've seen that event named different things: ue_post_open, postOpen, post_open, ue_postOpen, etc. It has, as far as I can see, always had post and open in the name of the event. Further, just about every framework that I've ever seen has had that event in the base window.
The question that I was asked was, "Why is that event there?"
The programmer wanted to know why there was code in the post open and why was it not just put at the end of the open event? At first I was really confused by the question. It was like he was asking me why do we have arrays? I just couldn't imagine not knowing the answer.
Then it occurred to me that I learned the answer to that question from a book that was published almost 20 years ago. As far as I can tell there are no new books on PowerBuilder and there are only two print magazines, this one and the ISUG magazine.
That's it.
Further I came to think of the tremendous responsibility that the few PowerBuilder authors share. New PowerBuilder programmers turn to us for information and there aren't that many of us left writing. So that leaves a whole lot of PowerBuilder programmers who get all their training from reading the code of other programmers.
Often those other programmers were consultants who wrote the code ten years ago and worked for consulting firms that no longer exist.
To make a bad situation worse a lot of times those programmers are brave souls that have been recruited from other disciplines. When the company finds that their last PowerBuilder programmer has just quit because he got a much better offer they turn to their existing programming staff and ask who would like to pick up PowerBuilder. They may point out that there are 6 or 10 or, as in the case for one company for which I recently worked, 26 PowerBuilder programs that are all critical to the company. The PowerBuilder programmer would become indispensable to the company.
So suddenly a brave Visual Basic or Java programmer finds PowerBuilder installed on his machine. His boss pats him on his pointy little head and tells him that Google is his friend.
Where would you turn? If you picked up the mantle and offered to learn a language that you knew nothing about, what would you do? You'd turn to Amazon or Google. If you type "best PowerBuilder books" in Google the first mentioned is my Definitive DataWindow which was published 13 years ago and is embarrassingly out of date...and out of print.
Let's go to Amazon, there you will find the latest PowerBuilder book is for version 9. It was published 10 years ago. Since then... nothing.
Why should I be surprised that things that I find fundamental are entirely unknown by the newest PowerBuilder programmers.
Warning: If you are a seasoned PowerBuilder programmer the rest of this article will bore you silly.
There is an open event in a window. This is the event that happens when the window is "opened." Now the word 'open' can be deceptive. A lot of people feel that a window is only opened when it is shown on the screen.
That would be wrong.
The open of a window begins when the open command is issued. That is to say, with a line like:
The problem, the whole reason that a post open event is required goes all the way back to Microsoft Windows 3.0 Old Windows programmers will remember version 3.0 very well. Version 3.0 was almost the death of Microsoft Windows. It was unbearably slow. I am not exaggerating; it was the slowest version of Windows that was ever released.
It was so slow that Windows users were seriously studying what the impact of changing to another - any other - operating system would be.
This time Microsoft listened... and panicked. They did a study to determine what it is that makes the user perceive speed in an application. What could be changed to cause the user to believe that the application is faster with minimal real change to the operating system? It wasn't that Microsoft didn't want to address their problems with speed, they most certainly did, but addressing those problems would take time that Microsoft just didn't have. Microsoft was about to lose a lot of customers and once lost, it would be hard to get them back.
Microsoft learned that the visual perception strongly influenced the user's perception of speed. They learned that if the window POPPED onto the screen, all at once, even if the data wasn't there yet, then the users perceived speed. What killed the user perception was when they pressed a button and nothing happened for four seconds. The user would often punch that button two or three times. So Microsoft created operating system queues.
The graphics queue happened before the application queue. So graphics could be given a higher priority than the application and windows would paint faster. They released version 3.1 which was mostly just the addition of these queues (along with other changes like a floating point emulator in assembly code).
This was great but it broke the relationship of the open event with the code. This meant that you weren't guaranteed that everything would be created in the window until after the open event finishes.
Consider this code:
W_customer.open() event
This code would often result in a "Null object reference" error because dw_1 had not been created by Microsoft when the code ran.
Imagine how we felt when this happened. There was a null object reference in line 1 of the open event, but, but, but... that's dw_1. There it is, right there on the window! How can it be null? It's not dynamic. You put it there.
Okay, we learned that we should not put anything in the open event that referred to anything on the screen. Most of us learned to just not put anything at all in the open event except one line in the ancestor:
W_root.open() event
For reasons already stated I imagine I can't rely on you knowing the difference between post event and trigger event or for that matter between postOpen and post open.
Okay, one at a time. Posting an event means that Microsoft Windows will open this window after the rest of the code in this script is executed. Basically it means, "Do this when you get a chance." So if you add that to the open event of your root window then it will call the ue_post_open event after all of the code in all of the descendants of this window is done.
Keep in mind the order of execution of events. First PowerBuilder goes to the farthest ancestor and then starts executing down the inheritance tree. If you have w_grandpa, and w_pa inherits from that and w_son inherits from that then the code in w_grandpa.open would execute first, then the code in w_pa, finally the code in w_son.
This means that if we put the post event in the open of w_grandpa, then the ue_post_open would happen after the last open event in the descendants. In our example:
W_grandpa.open->w_pa.open->w_son.open-> w_grandpa.ue_post_open-> w_son.ue_post_open->w_son.post_open
All that we have to do is create a ue_post_open event in our root window. We don't have to put anything in it, just create one. Then we post that event from the open event and we have a place now to put all our initialization code and don't have to worry about whether any object exists or not.
More important the screen will quickly draw or paint, giving the user the perception of speed. If you need to retrieve data and know it will take a short time, then you can set the pointer to an hourglass. I guarantee that your user will feel the window is faster.
I mentioned that most of us learned not to put anything in the open event. There is an exception to that rule. When your window is opened with a parameter then you should access the message object as the first line of code in your window.
Let me give you an example. Suppose that you open a window with a customer_id. You are going to use that customer_id as a parameter to the datawindow dw_1. Here is what you would do.
Now in the w_customer_detail window you need to set an instance variable. That's because we have just passed a variable to the new window and we are going to get it in the open event but we are going to retrieve the DataWindow in the ue_postOpen event. So let's do this. I will assume that you know how to declare an instance variable. Let's name it il_customer_id. Now let's look at the open event of w_customer_detail.
Okay, now in the open event of w_customer_detail we have taken the longParm property of the global message object and put it in an instance variable.
Since we have inherited the w_customer_detail from whatever our base window is, the ue_postOpen event will automatically fire. That means that we don't have to fire off the event. Now I just have to put the code that we need in the window.
Let's Do Some Housekeeping
First let's talk about post event as opposed to postEvent.
With the post event command you must know the name of the event that you want to post. You can pass the parameters normally. However, just like calling a function, the event has to exist and the parameters must be correct.
On the other hand the postEvent function takes a string as a parameter and that string is the name of the event. This means that you can store the name of the event in a table. In fact the event doesn't even have to exist. If it doesn't then nothing will happen. There will be no error thrown.
This makes the postEvent perfect for security systems where you can post an event based on a security role. Here is some code that might work for you in a menu event.
Using the postOpen function is very flexible but it is limited in the parameters that can be passed it. If you use the post event command, you can pass any number of parameters that you wish. The caveat is that the event must exist or you will get a compile time error. So the event that you used before for security cannot be done.
All that I just said for the postEvent and post event command applies also to the triggerEvent and trigger event commands.
Finally I'd like to mention the global message object.
This object is global. It can be accessed at any time by any other object. That means that if you access the message object in the postOpen event then another window may have changed your message object properties and this could corrupt what you are expecting.
Don't take this lightly. More than once I've debugged and found this error and believe me it is difficult to find. The problem is that it is not an error with logic or data but a timing error. These can be close to impossible to find.
Please take my word for this, make it a golden rule. If you open a window with a parameter, the first thing you do in the target or opened window is grab that value from the message object and store it.
Also, if you do a closeWithReturn then you need to immediately get the value from the message object.
There you have it. I've covered in some detail some basic information that might not be so easily learned any more.

It seems that tourism and sea turtles can thrive together, if visitor and nesting figures from coastal Dare County last year are any indication.
Figures from the Dare County Visitors Bureau show the county broke a record for occupancy taxes in 2012 with more than $382 million collected through November, compared with more than $367 million in 2011. Meanwhile, sea turtles nested in record numbers along Cape Hatteras National Seashore, with 222 nests found in 2012. The previous record of 153 was set in 2010.
The numbers "show me that the new rule is balancing various uses of the seashore and allowing pedestrians, drivers and wildlife to enjoy the seashore," said Julie Youngman, senior attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center.
She was referring to a rule that took formal effect last year that restricts driving along the seashore in certain places and at certain times of year to protect wildlife during breeding seasons. In addition, permits that cost $120 annually were required in 2012 for the first time to drive on the beach.
The county collected a record amount of occupancy taxes despite Superstorm Sandy, which hit in October and damaged N.C. Highway 12, making Hatteras Island accessible only by ferry for almost two months. Occupancy taxes are charged for hotels, motels and beach houses and indicate tourism numbers. Occupancy taxes also increased on Hatteras Island from almost $99 million in 2011 to more than $106 million in the first 11 months of 2012.
Such numbers would seem to be music to the ears of Lee Nettles, executive director of the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau. But Nettles knows that not all businesses benefit even while numbers are up county-wide.
"As far as numbers are concerned, it's reason to be happy," he said. "But it's kind of a mixed bag. We had another storm this year. It happened later in the season, so it didn't affect us as much in terms of overall numbers. But it's still something that the businesses and the people live on Hatteras Island have had to contend with — the access on N.C. 12 is just an ongoing issue for us."
Among those affected was Frank Folb, who has operated the tackle shop Frank and Fran's in Avon on Hatteras Island since 1988.
Last year "was probably as bad as I've ever seen in many, many years," Folb said. Limited fishing areas ruined spring, and Sandy, followed by two nor'easters, took care of the end of the year, he said.
He's ordered $60,000 of stock for this year, but his survival relies mainly on the road staying open. "The road is precarious enough that on a hard nor'easter, we could be closed again," he said.
Just a mile south down N.C. 12 sits Cafe 12, a restaurant where business has improved every year since John and Kathy King bought it in April 2007.
"We had a good year overall," John King said. "The killer was when Sandy went through. That hurt bad. After Irene, we still got October and November. This year, we got Labor Day, but it wiped out October, November and December."
One reason for the difference in the two businesses may be a change in the type of visitor Hatteras attracts.
Locals say they've noticed more people who want to sit on the beach or in hot tubs and fewer fishermen. More fancy SUVs and fewer sand- and salt-weathered off-road vehicles. And that translates into more people who want to eat out.
"When we first came down, from Labor Day on, it was basically all fishermen," King said. "They were here to fish for the big drum, the big bluefish and stuff. Most of them were running around in old four-wheel-drive pickups."
Because of the change in the type of vacationer attracted to Hatteras, Folb is changing the type of stock he orders for his store. For this year, he's ordered more of the $100-and-under fishing rods for vacationers casting line for the first time and fewer of the heavy-duty rods for those who want to head out to Cape Point when the blues are running.
"We're used to a 10-month season," he said. "And our season in the fishing business is becoming shorter and shorter."
Youngman, who has vacationed on Hatteras since she was a child, said she understands the locals are concerned about the changes brought on by the wildlife protection rules.
"I've heard them explaining their fears," she said. "I know change can seem difficult. I think these tourism and wildlife and visitation numbers show the change was not as devastating as predicted by some."

Help Identifying S&W
I purchased this Airweight S&W as my primary carry weapon and I honestly have no idea what model it is. The gun was refinished using one of Brownells' bake on teflon sprays when I purchased it, so some of the markings are hard to see. It is marked "SMITH & WESSON" on the left side of the barrel and "AIRWEIGHT 38 SPL. CTG." on the right. On the right side of the frame it has "MADE IN THE U.S.A. MARCAS REGISTRADAS SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MASS" I tried using a white crayon to fill in the marking so they would show better in the pictures, but like I said, the markings had been mostly filled in by the bake on finish. The serial number is 104,xxx. Any info about what model, age, etc would be appreciated. I have never posted pictures here, so I hope I get it right.

I'm going going to go out on a limb here, mind you this is just a guess.
That revolver looks almost exactly like my Mod 36 Chiefs Special.
Being that yours is an Airweight, I would guess that it is a Mod 37.
Now, please don't take this next part as me trying to belittle your knowledge, because I am not. I simply don't know if you know.
If you open the cylinder, and look at the frame, the model number should be there beside the cylinder yoke on modern S&W revolvers.
Unless of course, it's covered by the finish. In that case I would guess a Model 37 Airweight/Featherweight, whatever they called them.

Your S&W is most likely an early Model 37 "Airweight" produced sometime between 1957 and 1993. If your gun's serial number does not have a "J" prefix, it was made before 1969 which seems likely given the serial number. Open the cylinder and check the frame below the barrel for the markings "Mod 37" or "Mod 37-x" (where "x" is a number). This will identify the gun more specifically.
If your gun does not have a model number marked on the frame it may have been filled in by the gun coating or it may be a "pre-Model 37" -- named the Chief's Special Airweight. These guns were made from 1953 to 1957 when they started receiving the Model 37 stamping on the frame.
Some of the earliest models were made with alloy cylinders which were replaced with steel cylinders due to cracking. The highest known serial number with alloy cylinders was 44xxx so yours should be steel (use a magnet to test).
A NIB pre-37 is valued at $400 and a much used gun, especially one with a non-factory refinish will probably fetch between $200 and $225.

Thanks for the replies gentlemen. The only markings on the frame where the model number might be located are the numbers 32221. Those exact same numbers are also stamped on the cylinder yoke. My guess is that Bill is correct and it is a "pre-Model 37" Chief's Special . Fortunately, it does have a steel cylinder. Again, thanks for the help.

S&W serial numbers are often stamped on the bottom of the grip. If yours is covered by wood or rubber grips, removing them will reveal the s/n.
The alloy frames in these guns should not be subjected to too many +P loads if you can avoid it. Stick with standard pressure loads (no +P markings), mostly in the 125gr-130gr weight range. For practice, target load wadcutters or standard pressure 110gr ammo (if you can find it) will work fine too.
I don't think you'll hurt it if you carry 125gr-130gr +Ps and have to use them, but don't make a steady diet of 'em on this little jewel.

Thanks to one of our amazing exclusive retailers, William Ashley in Toronto, a fabulous variation of our Glen Ellen design was featured in The Wedding Co. Magazine!
The publication created a fun challenge for a handful of stationers, florists and bakers and the results are stunning! Each "team" was given a few items of inspiration and the results were combined on the pages of the latest issue. With Bohdan from William Ashley leading the way, {just as he will when you visit him to design your wedding invitations}, we created a modified version of our Glen Ellen design to suit the timeless black, white and silver wedding stationery wardrobe.
Loving the classic feel of the Glenn Ellen corner details, Bohdan asked us to incorporate them onto a large, square invitation card in a glimmering silver foil. Paired with traditional fonts in black letterpress and finished with one of our lace-like, patterned paper wraps, a silver paper belly band and luxe double-faced satin ribbon — the look was complete!
This is truly the best part of our job — seeing one of our invitations take on a new direction to become something personal and special for another paper fan! All you have to do to get started on creating your own custom wedding suite is to get in touch with a Dauphine Press exclusive retailer {like William Ashley!} in your area!

LONDON (AP) — Britain's Foreign Office says reports have emerged about a potential threat against the U.K. embassy in Tripoli, the capital of Libya.
The agency said Monday it was working closely with the Libyan government in response to the reports. It would not elaborate, but its statement came at a time of heightened tensions in North Africa.
Last week the British government joined Germany, the Netherlands and Canada in urging their citizens to evacuate the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi in response to what was described as an imminent threat to Westerners.
Libya remains unstable following the 2011 civil war that overthrew longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi. Britain has not changed its travel advice, which recommends against all but essential travel to Tripoli.
Elsewhere in North Africa, French and African land forces are battling al-Qaida-linked Islamists in northern Mali, while a renewed bout of unrest has gripped Egypt following the two-year anniversary of the revolution that toppled strongman Hosni Mubarak.
In addition, a Jan. 16 terror attack on Algeria's Ain Amenas natural gas plant in the Sahara ignited a four-day siege with Algerian forces in which at least 37 hostages and 29 militants were killed. An al-Qaida-affiliated group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Cavallaro carries Moses Brown over Vets boys
The Warwick Vets boys' basketball team did some good things in Monday night's home game against Moses Brown. The 'Canes rebounded well, hit some big threes, and always hung around when the Quakers threatened to pull away.
But no matter what they did, 'Canes didn't have an answer for Michael Cavallaro. The Moses Brown senior, who leads the state in scoring with 22.8 points per game, torched Vets for 39 on Monday, and that performance powered the Quakers to a 67-51 victory.
Moses Brown improved to 7-7, while Vets dropped to 4-10.
"We tried box and one, we tried man, we tried a lot of things," said Vets head coach Chris LeBlanc. "He's a good player. He's taller than our guys. He drove, he shot it, he was the whole thing."
Cavallaro scored 20 in the first half, but Vets ended the half on a 9-2 run to get within seven. Vets continued to hang around in the second half, getting as close as five with 10:13 to play, but Cavallaro and the Quakers always managed to keep the 'Canes at arm's length.
Despite playing against a box-and-one, Cavallaro added 19 points in the second half. In one stretch, he scored 13 of his team's 17 points.
"He was the difference," LeBlanc said.
Vets took an early 6-2 lead on three-pointers by Scott Camara and Will Remak, but the Quakers responded with nine straight points, capped by a Cavallaro three.
Vets got back within four on a Dom Malaga runner with 8:31 left, but a free throw and a three-pointer by Sebastian Ferrell on consecutive possessions put the Quakers back up by eight. Cavallaro added a free throw and a leaner to make it 11.
Throughout that stretch, the 'Canes got some decent looks of their own – they committed only six turnovers in the first half and seemed to execute their offense well. But they were cold from the field, especially from close range. They shot 25 percent in the first half.
"If only we could make a layup or two," LeBlanc said. "At halftime, I think we had missed 20 points on layups. I'm going to say we left about 30 points on the board total. You're not going to win if you do that. That's the bottom line."
The 'Canes trailed by as many as 14 late in the first half, but made a run to get back into the game. Remak hit two free throws, and Camara hit one to make it an 11-point game. After a bucket inside by Moses Brown's Matthew Keigwin, Camara hit a fast-break layup and Carter Thomas hit two free throws. Malaga hit a leaner with nine seconds left to make it 32-25 at halftime.
The 'Canes opened the second half in a box-and-one, with Malaga shadowing Cavallaro. That slowed Cavallaro down momentarily, and the 'Canes put together a quick 6-0 run to make it 44-39 with 10:13 left.
That was as close as they got, though. Malaga stole the ball from Cavallaro on Moses Brown's next possession but missed a tough layup. At the other end, Moses Brown's Gus Culpo scored inside, and after a missed driving layup by Travis Babcock, Cavallaro buried a three. A Vets turnover then led to a Culpo layup, and all of a sudden, the Quakers were back in front by 12.
Vets stayed within striking distance for the next four minutes, getting a three from Brandon McGuire and a hook shot by Colby Menard to make it a 10-point game with 4:40 left. But Malaga missed a three and Vets committed a turnover on its next possession. That led to a fast-break layup by Cavallaro with 3:57 left, and the lead only grew from there. Vets made just two more field goals.
Ferrell and Gregory Boland had eight points each behind Cavallaro's big night. Vets was led by Remak, who had 15, and Malaga who scored 13. McGuire added seven, with Camara and Babcock getting six each.
Vets came into the game off a lopsided victory over winless Fatima, but couldn't make it two in a row.
"We're still young," LeBlanc said. "The starting lineup, I had two sophomores out there. They're learning. Sometimes, they're learning the hard way, but they're going out and doing their best."
The 'Canes still have an outside chance to qualify for the state tournament but would have to win their final four games. That stretch starts with two tough ones – Vets hosts second-place Juanita Sanchez on Friday at 7 p.m. and visits division leader Toll Gate on Tuesday at 7 p.m.
"We're looking for a strong finish," LeBlanc said. "We can play with anybody. We just have to get our act together."

Junior Elizabeth Beisel won her second NCAA title and first in the 400 IM in Day Two of the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.
Junior Elizabeth Beisel won her second NCAA title and first in the 400 IM in Friday's finals. The Gators currently sit eighth in the standings with 189 points so far at the 2013 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships in Indianapolis, Ind. Florida had three top-three individual finishes on the second night of competition.
"I am really proud of how the team came back after yesterday," said head coach Gregg Troy. "I thought we swam really well this morning. We are still not quite firing on all cylinders. We raced tough the whole time, everybody was in the races. Elizabeth did great in the 400 IM, Sinead had some good swims and the two butterfliers were fantastic."
Beisel, the 2012 Olympic silver medalist in the 400 IM, swam a solid race from start to finish as she held off a tough field to become the 2013 400 IM NCAA Champion. She finished in a time of 4:00.49 solidifying her second career individual title after winning the 200 back last year.
Softball: The No. 3 Gators first blanked Arkansas 8-0 in six innings before rallying for their 12th come-from-behind victory of the season with a 5-2 win in the nightcap to chalk up their third SEC series win with the Friday evening doubleheader sweep over the Razorbacks (21-12, 0-5 SEC).
Florida (30-3, 6-2 SEC) and Arkansas will meet Saturday at 3 p.m. at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium in the series finale, as projected inclement weather Sunday altered the originally scheduled Friday, Saturday, Sunday three-game set.
Junior ace Hannah Rogers earned the victory in game one to improve to 16-2 in the circle for Florida. Rogers worked a complete game and used nine strikeouts to aid her efforts. The righty held Arkansas scoreless, limiting the Razorbacks to just four hits in six innings.
In game two, it was sophomore Lauren Haeger who earned the nod – and win – in the circle for the Gators. Haeger improved to 9-1 on the season with five innings of work, allowing two runs, one free pass and striking out three before Rogers came on for her first save of the season, UF's second this season, with two innings of scoreless relief.
Men's tennis: At Tuscaloosa, Ala., the Florida men's tennis team earned a 4-1 victory at Alabama indoors at the Roberta Alison Baumgardner Tennis Facility. With the win, the Gators improve to 9-6 on the season and 3-2 in the Southeastern Conference. The Crimson Tide fall to 12-6 overall and 3-3 in the league.
Florida opened up by winning the doubles point for the second-straight match. Alabama first won at No. 1 doubles, but UF responded with wins on courts two and three. Billy Federhofer and Gordon Watson beat the Tide's Becker O'Schughnessey and Daniil Proskura, 8-5, on court two. Florida's Mike Alford and Florent Diep then clinched the doubles point with a tiebreak victory over Stuart Kenyon and Philippe Tsangarides, 9-8 (5).
Momentum carried over into singles play for the Gators. UF won the first set on four of six courts, and quickly earned the three points needed for the win.
Track & field: At Orlando/Tallahassee, three Gators took home individual victories as the Florida track & field teams opened the 2013 outdoor season at the FSU Relays and UCF Invitational.
Sophomore Kyle Strawn captured the first hammer throw title of his career with a new personal best of 62.20m/204-1. Strawn bested his previous PB from his freshman year at UC-Santa Barbara by exactly 20 feet. Strawn is now second all-time in the event at Florida.
Junior Shelby Hayes raced to the first individual victory of her track career in the women's 1,500 meters, running to a 4:23.67 finish just ahead of teammate Mandy Perkins, who came in second in 4:25.15. Junior Stephanie Strasser also turned in a top-five finish with her fifth-place time of 4:31.22.
Freshman Jimmy Clark clinched a victory in his first outdoor campaign with a 3:48.12 finish in the men's 1,500 meters. Clark was one of four Gators to finish in the top 10 in the event.
The second day of the UCF Invitational begins for the Gators at 9 a.m. with the women's discus throw.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- Vice President Joe Biden announced Friday that the U.S. will provide approximately $8 million to help bolster Ukraine's State Border Guard Service.
Biden shared the news with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko during a phone call on Friday.
"This additional assistance," the White House said, "includes engineering equipment for improving infrastructure along Ukraine's borders, transport and patrol vehicles, surveillance equipment to extend the visual range of border security patrols, and small boats to conduct maritime patrol and interdiction operations."
The news comes amid reports by Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council that Russia violated Ukrainian airspace on Thursday. According to NSDC spokesman Andriy Lysenko, Russian military aircraft flew 10-15 kilometers into Ukrainian territory on Thursday. "In particular, the flights of four Ka-52 attack helicopters from the side of the Russian Federation were recorded yesterday," he told reporters in Kiev on Friday.
Lysenko noted that Ukrainian border guards are used to visually record aircraft entering Ukrainian airspace at altitudes below the level detected by air defense systems.

Do you believe Everybody Deserves Healthcare?
- Posts
Americans have great wealth and power compared to the rest of the world and we try to give back or "spread the wealth," to other countries who have dire need. I want to point the focus back on ourselves for a moment and ask a question: should America develop our own universal health care system like many other developed countries do? Or, should we continue to build on our current system which allows for-profit insurance corporations to make a profit from our suffering. We are ranked 37th in the world in healthcare, yet we spend the most. How would you fix the problem? Should we go to a "national health system" like Britain where all health services are completely public - should we do an "all-payer" system like Germany where they have heavy regulations on health insurers, or should we go to a "single payer" system where insurance is publicly run, but care is private? Or none of the above? What do you think?

Dalton drama: An apology is in orderEDITORIAL
January 02. 2013 11:57PM
Sometimes police work requires arresting a suspect quickly based on very little information. The arrest of Dalton Town Clerk Sandy York last year was not one of those times, which should have been obvious to the police chief who had her arrested on the flimsiest of evidence for a crime he imagined seeing.
Part-time Dalton Police Chief Mario Audit said he was reviewing security video when he saw what he claimed was York pocketing town money. He showed the video to Selectmen Chairman Victor St. Cyr, who showed it to the other selectmen. Apparently no one thought to ask York or her coworkers about it, or to see whether any cash was actually missing. Audit had York arrested and banned from town hall based solely on what he saw on the video.
At trial, Jessie Wentworth, the tax collector and deputy clerk, testified that the town always needs to break large bills and that for 14 years York has routinely taken large bills to the bank to get change, which is what York's attorney said she did that day. No money was found missing the next day or any other day. Audit acknowledged that he did not interview York or check the books for missing money before having her arrested and charged with a crime.
Because of such shoddy police work, a longtime town employee's reputation was tarnished. Though she was found not guilty on Monday, she had to endure months of public speculation about her honesty and personal integrity.
Audit owes York a public apology. He should consider apologizing to the town, too, for failing to do his job with the care expected of the chief of police.

Hi Phil, Just got my skins (IMP-68x-16) and you all are dead on! It took me longer to get the hub caps out of the box than it did to install them. They are the greatest!! It sure is lots better than spending $600.00 or more on the same thing in a set of rims. Thanks guys. Happy as can be, Jim H, Candler NC
