Can you be more specific? Which configuration file was empty? I can not get anything but the message of "Updating indexes for PHP... The first time this can take a while" and a 100% CPU (T_T)
It's the file referred to in the "Configuring" section here - github.com/Kronuz/SublimeCodeIntel
For me, it was ~/.codeintel/config - that file was empty. I just pasted the example from github in there, and it started working for me.
You are a lucky man. I tried with the configuration file at ~/.codeintel/config, adde a config file at project .codeintel directory, to recompile plugin libraries ... and nothing ... just CPU at 100% and "Updating indexes for PHP..." message = (
I'm waiting for it to break
My co-worker, who had initially gotten it to work in Ubuntu, has subsequently had it stop working. We haven't been able to figure out why.
Oh, computers. You suck, and I love you.
Noooooooo!!!! You are my only hope!!!
OK, here's a hint maybe - we got his working again, though it took deleting as much evidence that Sublime had ever existed as we could find
At some point, he had moved the directory that contained the executable into .config/sublime-text-2, which turned out to be a horrible idea.
After reinstalling, he ran the build.sh that comes with SublimeCodeIntel, and it works!
I've got some problem with this package.
What I've done:
1) Installed the packages2) Created a new folder3) Created a new file test.rb4) Typed in some Ruby class
class Test
5) Pressed super+j
In ~/.codeintel/codeintel.log I see

I've tried other languages (e. g. Python) but I got similar errors.
We are working on v2.0 of SubimeCodeIntel, available at github.com/Kronuz/SublimeCodeIn ... evelopment (development branch). This should fix many of the bugs that were there (making it slow and making CPU usage go crazy for too long)... please if anyone's willing, I'd appreciate any feedback.
We need suggestions for proper and working key and mouse bindings for "jump to definition" (currently alt+click) and the autocomplete popup manual trigger. Any thought would be welcome.
that's a REAL good news!!!!
Awesome! Looking forward to it. Thanks!
The development version does not work on my computer (Ubuntu Linux 12.04 kernel 3.2.0-26-generic x86_64).
I've done this:- Download development version from GitHub (github.com/Kronuz/SublimeCodeIn ... evelopment)- Unzip the zip- Move extracted folder to ~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages /- Remove directory ~/.codeintel
When I try to go to the definition of an element with CTRL+SUPER+ALT+UP nothing happens. Neither pressing SHIFT+CTRL+SPACE to autocomplete.
I tried recompiling libraries at ~/.config/sublime-text-2/Packages/SublimeCodeIntel/src/ but nothing new happens.

I'm in the same situation as xavi above. I installed via git, but the result is the same.
CodeIntel just doesn't work on Win7. Not sure what the deal is...
Yeah I've burnt alot of time with this one over the last weekend.
Its patchy inconsistent and since I'm on the win7x64 side of things I'm finding most input is "huh works for me you must be dumb or something.." not so helpful. and many answers on here are from other platforms so sifting this info to determine whats useful is quite hard work.
I have found that with in config files the newer:
"python": '%ProgramFiles(x86)%/Autodesk/Maya2012/bin/mayapy.exe',
On winx64 just does not work. Does not work with explicit paths, does not work with native envVars, although I don't know if it should?It also does not work with python packaged in .zip, should it? who knows.. be nice if it did mind. Nor does it work with an extracted typical installation of python i.e. c:/Python26/at least in my experience
However the older:
"python": "C:/Python26",
// "env":
// {
// "PATH":"C:/Python26:C:/Data/PythonProjects/homeProjects",
// "PYTHONPATH":"C:/Python26: C:/Data/PythonProjects/homeProjects"
// }
seemed to work more reliably, however more reliable in the sense that some .py files in the same project work and complete quite nicely and gave me quite a chill a thing of beauty and so much promise, yet another file in the same project in the same directory would not complete anything at all, most frustrating! yes I have been blowing away the db files and rebuilding between each alteration test cycle to see what changes.
I am unsure if comments in code blocks above cause failure?I am unsure if the "env" settings can even be put in the config files? I did try.. no gravy..
the: "python": "C:/Python26"forces it to use the specified python version which is nice otherwise it seems to find python in system paths somewhere, not sure where it gets them from the registry as that was the only place I found an entry for my local x64Python version at one point, I don't have PYTHONPATH and PATH pointing to installations on my machine. Any more checking is probably going to be a debugging and dissection session.
I have found I only get db files in the:C:/Users/user/.codeintel/dband not in the:C:/Data/PythonProjects/myProjects/.codeintel/dbeven though I have configs there I don't know if I should..
I would like to see : PYTHONPATH : "path..", "path.."] rather than :PYTHONPATH : "C:/Python26: C:/Data/PythonProjects/homeProjects:$PYTHONPATH" as its far easier to deal with.
and that $PYTHONPATH is it accessing the current system PYTHONPATH, is that consistent for all platforms, what is it doing?
All the apparently stupid questions I'm asking really need documentation to assist this tool(me and CodeIntel), sometimes you have to over communicate stuff that may seem really obvious, when to some its really not.If I could get some sort of consistency I'd be quite happy to use it, its got so much potential and is really nice.. when it works!
But really as a result of the experience I've gone back to WINGIDE as it just works.. and the auto-complete and the debuggers are really something I need for speed whilst working in a development environment. But I am using Sublime more and more for general stuff replacing a stack of other editors that all have bits of things that are really useful that sublime has or as I figure it out I can probably add.
I am having problems with CodeIntel. First I install the version on Package Control but due to the poor performance with automatic popup, I removed and update to the development version. Now I cannot get it to work, just

I've just installed SublimeText 2, and the codeIntel package, in a Php environment, and, it's building indexes for about 2h30.Hope it's not a bug, but it's damn long.
I'm trying to get rid of eclipse (way too heavy for me)
hi, could you help me to correctly configure plugin for the development in php?is installed on a osxThks
CodeIntel's one of those plugins you just have to learn to appreciate when it actually works and ignore when it doesn't. If having it working consistently is a dealbreaker for you, you might be better off looking at other editors/IDEs. Don't get me wrong though, I understand why you'd be annoyed: ST evangelists have a habit of boasting about its code completion capabilities, often entirely neglecting to mention that it's dependent on a plugin which is currently mediocre on a good day.
I'm not saying CodeIntel's badly done - it's the best there is at what it does - but it just has a long way to go.
I don't personally rely on it because I can't get it setup stably on Ubuntu 11.04 x86 or Windows 7 x64. The languages I use most are either not supported or have much more reliable alternatives. C++, Java and C# all have their own pretty dependable plugins and completions for web languages like JS and PHP can be achieved well enough with packages like AndyJS and AndyPHP. Python - if you're into that kind of thing - has SublimeRope and PyTags. Really it's only a handful of languages that have absolutely no alternatives.
In order to view code hints/lists, make sure that you are setting the file's syntax. To do this, just go to command palette and type Set and you should get a slew of scripting languages.

Argument preview: Indiana v. Edwards
Argument Preview
The state of Indiana as petitioner argues for states to have the leeway to deny otherwise competent defendants the opportunity to represent themselves at trial when those defendants cannot communicate coherently with the court or jury. Indiana contends that refusing to allow such a defendant to proceed pro se does not contravene the Sixth Amendment right acknowledged by Faretta v. California (1975)—which held that criminal defendants have a right to refuse counsel in state criminal proceedings—because that right presumes the defendant can present a coherent defense. According to Indiana's merits brief, "[p]ersuasion requires communication. If a mental or physical trait disables a defendant from communicating, the entire point of the trial is lost unless counsel speaks for the defendant." Thus, waiving counsel without an ability to communicate is equivalent to waiving a fair trial.
Indiana illustrates how its rule would fit in with post-Faretta cases in which the right to self-representation was balanced against the need to preserve a fair trial and the institutional integrity of the court. Its brief points out that counsel can be imposed on disruptive defendants and that standby counsel may be imposed on any defendant demanding self-representation. Furthermore, trial courts can disqualify first-choice paid counsel against a defendant's objections when a conflict of interest is evident, in order to protect the integrity of the trial.
Indiana illustrates why its coherent-communication rule would support the requirement of Dusky v. U.S. (1960), that a defendant have an opportunity to consult with trial counsel. The state explains that this requirement performs two functions for a defendant who will be represented by counsel: it establishes mental capacity to stand trial, and it ensures that the trial will reasonably operate as an "adversarial test of the government's case." The first function is also fulfilled when a defendant demands self-representation, but the latter function, the "salutary practical impact on the conduct of the trial," is not. Indiana suggests that its rule would provide an "alternative mode of assurance."
The state then suggests that should the Court find its rule inconsistent with Faretta, then the Court should consider overruling it. The brief mounts a strong attack on Faretta, noting that "a right to self-representation is without solid textual, structural, or historical foundation." Indiana cites historical circumstances implying that the Sixth Amendment included no right to self-representation; its brief also argues that post-Faretta opinions of the Court and individual Justices have questioned that right and eroded the underlying rationale for it. Furthermore, the state writes that "self-representation is not a right that citizens use to structure their lives based on settled expectations about the law," so Faretta fits the Court's criteria for revisiting precedents.
Edwards argues that Faretta has been reaffirmed without exception, granting and settling a right of self-representation to any defendant who chooses to proceed pro se voluntarily and knowingly. Edwards says he made that choice "with his eyes open." The Court candidly acknowledged in Faretta that the risk of self-representation is especially high for "the ignorant and illiterate, or those of feeble intellect." Nevertheless, that decision protected the defendant's "autonomy to choose that path." Edwards strongly refutes Indiana's contention that Faretta permits States to limit this right to defendants who meet some minimum level of competence.
Godinez v. Moran (1993) held in part that states are not required to demand a special showing to accept a competent but impaired defendant's waiver of counsel. Edwards says that after Godinez, the petitioner's proposed rule would give states complete discretion over whether to recognize the right to self-representation for that class of defendants, effectively turning "the essential rationale of Faretta on its head." Edwards points out that Godinez recognized specifically that "a criminal defendant's ability to represent himself has no bearing upon his competence to choose self-representation." He calls into question whether other post-Faretta cases cited by petitioner support greater state power over self-representation rights or are germane to this case.
Challenging the petitioner's argument about the interests in fairness and adversarial testing, Edwards argues that "there is nothing "fundamentally unfair' about a verdict rendered after a defendant knowingly and voluntarily forgoes one or more of the "tools' the Constitution provides for challenging the government's case." Even so, Edwards says that the broad authority Indiana argues for in denying self-representation is unnecessary because courts employ less-restrictive alternatives to the complete elimination of self-representation (e.g., standby counsel).
Edwards's brief further argues that even if the Court agrees that the Sixth Amendment allows a higher competency standard for self-representation, Edwards's rights were still violated. The trial court articulated no legal standard, much less one of the retrospective rules devised by the petitioner or its amici. The brief also challenges the portrayal of Edwards as incoherent and unintelligible.
Finally, Edwards deems Indiana's invitation to overrule Faretta as "radical." His brief states that "Faretta is not only settled precedent, it also has become part of the warp and woof of the law[t]hat suggestion deserves this Court's swift rejection, both because it is not properly presented here, and because petitioner cannot show that Faretta was wrong." (This assertion, along with the issue of Edwards's incoherence, is addressed at length in the petitioner's reply brief.)
In fact, Edwards notes that none of the petitioner's amici, including 19 states and the United States, called for the overruling of Faretta. Indiana's side is indeed supported by the United States, 19 states, the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, and the American Bar Association as amici. The United States, which was granted argument time, proposes that certain government interests are sufficiently compelling to justify, in particular circumstances, the denial of self-representation for a mentally ill defendant. The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the American Psychiatric Association wrote as amici in support of neither party.
The case is scheduled for argument on Wednesday, March 26, 2008. Solicitor General of the State of Indiana Thomas M. Fisher will be arguing for petitioner Indiana, Deputy Solicitor General of the United States Michael R. Dreeben will be arguing for United States, as amicus curiae, and Mark T. Stancil of Washington, D.C. will be arguing for respondent Ahmad Edwards.

SPNS Initiative: Culturally Appropriate Interventions of Outreach, Access and Retention among Latino(a) Populations (SPNS: Latino Initiative)
The Latino Initiative is exploring culturally appropriate service delivery models focused on improving health outcomes among U.S. Latinos living with HIV. Demonstration sites are investigating innovative methods to identify Latinos/as who are at high risk or living with HIV and engage and retain them in HIV primary care. This initiative is one of the first public health adaptations of the transnational approach, with interventions targeting HIV-infected Latino/a subpopulations living in the U.S. that are specific to their country or place of origin.

text: Albino Reticulated Pythons are arguably the most beautiful Albinos in the world. Now bred in enough numbers to be easily affordable, they are a sight to behold in the flesh, with colors matched only by some butterflies or saltwater fish. The original Albino strain (also known as the Clark Strain) comes in 3 distinct phases- WHite, Lavender, and Purple- which has only recently begun to become fully understood by our breeders here at Prehistoric Pets. The variable phases are actually the result of 2 compatible Albinos expressed in one snake. There is a white phase, and purple phase Albino whose genetic alterations are located on the same allele. When crossed together, they creat a visual Albino that is a intermediate between the two lines, which is a Lavender (as seen in the original Albino). Thus, a white bred to a white will produce all white offspring, and a purple to a purple will produce all purple offspring. crossing a white to a purple will yield all lavenders, and two lavenders bred together will produce all 3 color phases in the same clutch.

After talking with a number of friends (I want to single out Don Yates, Jeff Nolan, Jackie Danicki, and David Wolkin for their many messages of support, though so many have written in) and discussing the matter further with Kobe's oncologist, we've decided to forgo radiation treatment.
Even though her doctor was confident that radiation treatments could shrink the tumor and buy Kobe an extra few months, there is virtually no chance of a durable remission, which means that we'd be buying (at most) an extra 6 months of life at the cost of a series of painful treatments that would consume 1-2 months of that time.
Here is what I wrote to her doctor:
Given the current situation, I'm inclined to decline further treatment. Kobe has lived a long and happy life, and is terrified by doctor's visits. I can see the aftereffects for days after each visit, especially when she receives sedatives. I realize that this means that we will likely have to euthanize Kobe in the next several months. We would love to have her as long as possible, but given the small delta between her untreated survival time and her survival time with treatment, I think we would prefer to make every one of her final weeks as happy and comfortable as possible, and to euthanize her when clinical symptoms occur, but before she is seriously suffering.Her doctor graciously replied:
For me, it comes down to likely survival time. I'm selfish enough that I was interested in aggressive treatment when that treatment might buy her several years; if the likely additional time is about 6 months, and a month or two of that time would be impaired with treatments (it's hard to take her to the dog park with an Elizabethan collar), it's no longer a good tradeoff in my mind.
We've had 11 great years. I'd rather have 11 great years than 11 great years and one difficult one.
You clearly have a good understanding of the disease process and the survival/toxicity issues. I wish there was a curative option here, or even a good possibility of a remission that would be durable in the long term. I am so sad that the hospital visits make her anxious, and there would certainly be plenty of visits in the near future should you decide to treat. Given the risk to benefit balance for Kobe as an individual, I wholeheartedly support your decision- the last thing we want is for her to feel anxiety or pain.Now, all we can do is help Kobe enjoy her life as much as possible so that she can go out on a high note.
Please let me know if I can be of help to you in any way- Kobe is a special little girl, and she is lucky to have found a family who loves her so much.
The cognitive dissonance is especially difficult because Kobe shows no sign of being sick; she is as happy and energetic as ever (if a bit puzzled by all the attention and treats we've showered her with recently).
Because the primary symptom of the final stages of the disease will be trouble defecating, I celebrate each morning when I take Kobe for her walk, and she poops out another normal load. Ironically enough, each poop tells me that I have her for at least another day.
Her doctor told me that we may only have a month or two. We're going to make the best of it.
While this has been an incredibly difficult process, in the end I'm grateful that we found out in time to really spoil Kobe and give her a fantastic sendoff. I'm planning to take a ton of pictures and videos, including videos of her favorite walk routes so that we'll have good memories to last a lifetime.
As I wrote two weeks ago when this saga began, "Once you can't use uncertainty to hide from death, the best course of action is to live well." We intend to follow that philosophy.
Here's a video of Kobe meeting a new friend in Mitchell Park. I took the video right after we found out that her cancer was inoperable.

One Direction Cover Cosmo U.K. in Blazers
Cosmopolitan covers are highly coveted pieces of magazine real estate normally reserved for female celebs, actresses and pop starlets. The December cover of the American edition of the best-selling ladies' mag featured Taylor Swift. The December issue of the U.K. version? Well, the boys in One Direction got the nod and they are sharp-dressed lads, cloaked in blazers. They are, in two words, handsome devils.
For the mag's holiday issue, which offers tips on party fashion, the 1D boys are swoon-worthy as usual. We feel bad for poor Louis Tomlinson, who has text about an hour-long orgasm stamped across his chest. There are a few places we could go with that, but we won't, out of love and respect for LT.
We also don't think it's a coincidence that there is a huge headline about hair on the cover, as well, since all of the 1D boys are incredibly well-coiffed lads.
It's been intimated that hottie Harry Styles is the member of 1D that gets the most attention from the Directioners, so perhaps that why the Cosmo editors put him smack dab in the middle of his band bros on this cover. Honestly, though, we think the Directioner worship is spread pretty evenly across all five members. The shriek their brains out for the collective!
The boys appear on the cover of a women's mag since they were selected as Cosmo's Ultimate Men of the Year 2012. Directioners won't be arguing about that appointment and will be purchasing copies for their collections.
In the behind-the-scenes footage of the cover shoot, the boys primp, prime and prep for their photos. The editor even referred to them as a great bunch of lads, and shared that the boys not only offered to get her a cup of tea, but they were a half-hour early. That NEVER happens at entertainment industry shoots. Just ask 'American Idol' judge Nicki Minaj, who was an hour tardy on her first day of work on the show.

Monterey Institute Professor and CNS Senior Fellow Avner Cohen received very favorable reviews in the New York Times and other publications for his newest book "The Worst-Kept Secret: Israel's Bargain with the Bomb" (Columbia University Press). As a perfect ending to a good year, his book has now been chosen as one of the best books of the year by the writers of Newsweek and its sister publication The Daily Beast.
"The Worst-Kept Secret" follows Professor Cohen's widely-praised 1999 book "Israel and the Bomb" and delves further into Israel's status as the "only nuclear-armed state that refuses to acknowledge its possession of the bomb" and the implications of that approach for both governmental policy and societal behavior in the Middle East's only liberal democracy.
Daily Beast contributor, former CIA officer and senior Brookings Institution fellow Bruce Riedel placed "The Worst-Kept Secret" on top of his list of notable books for the year 2011, calling it a "must-read." At President Obama's request, Riedel chaired the 2009 strategic review of policy toward Afghanistan and Pakistan. Riedel says Professor Cohen's book "reveals the truth about Israel's nuclear deterrent and the balance of power in the Middle East" and calls it "a useful antidote to the Iran hysteria of war-mongering politicians."

Choosing the Correct Racquetball Grip Size
There are two main grip sizes to choose from when selecting a racquetball grip: SS 3 ⅝ and XS 3 ⅞. This raises the question of which grip size is best for you. Normally, a smaller grip will allow for faster wrist action, offering the player more power. Also a smaller grip can sometimes help a sore wrist because it is easier to maneuver. The downside is that without much palm on the handle, the racquet might have a tendency to twist or turn,thus causing a loss of control. A larger grip permits more of your hand to come into contact with the racquet, generally allowing for more control and a better feel. Also a slightly larger handle can help with a sore elbow because you don't have to grip the handle as tightly. The negative is that there may be a lack of racquet head speed which results in less power.
Finding the best grip size for you is truly a personal preference based on feel, but here are a few general rules to follow. First, some grips are more square (rounded), and others are more rectangular (flatter edged). When gripping the racquet handle, your ring finger should reach around and slightly touch your palm. Second, another common way to find your grip is based on your glove size. If you wear a larger glove then you might feel more comfortable with a larger grip. Third, try grasping the racquet handle, then close your eyes and swing your wrist back and forth with very little or no arm movement. Slowly increase your wrist speed but never to full speed, and get a general overall feel as you experiment with the various grip sizes.
As always you can contact us for more help with any questions you may have.

Dozens of Cubans crowded around R&B diva Beyoncé and husband-rapper Jay-Z as they toured Old Havana on Thursday after celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary with island staples like daiquiris, and rice and black beans.
"People outside were desperate to see them and we had to call security, we had to call the police," said La Guarida restaurant waitress Vivian Aimerich, who helped serve the superstars during their anniversary dinner Wednesday night.
The couple drew even bigger crowds Thursday as they strolled the streets of Old Havana like any other tourists, with Beyoncé wearing a short summer dress and big sunglasses and Jay-Z smoking a cigar and wearing a straw hat, shorts, and sneakers.
They visited the Havana Cathedral, built between 1748 and 1777, and walked around the cobblestoned streets of the colonial-era neighborhood, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1982.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z spoke with several Cubans during their walk but declined to answer journalists' questions on their visit to the communist-ruled island.
The government-run CubaSí website reported the couple is on a tourist visit, although that would be illegal under the half-century old U.S. embargo. Washington does issue special licenses, however, for cultural, religious, academic, and other types of visits.
ICM talent agency in Los Angeles said it had no information on the visit. Beyoncé's publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure in New York, did not return El Nuevo Herald calls.
The superstar couple was first spotted in Cuba on Wednesday night as they entered La Guarida, "The Hideout," a restaurant on an upper floor of a crumbling early 1900s palace where the hit Cuban film Strawberry and Chocolate was filmed.
"They were recognized downstairs and the whole street filled up with people shouting her name until she went out on the balcony and waved to them," Aimerich told El Nuevo Herald by phone from the restaurant.
"We knew that someone important was coming, but we had no idea," she added. The restaurant, which has become an almost obligatory stop for tourists in Havana, is known as a "paladar" because it is privately owned. Most restaurants in Cuba are state-run.
Beyoncé, Jay-Z, their mothers, and some of their bodyguards spent nearly three hours in La Guarida celebrating the couple's fifth wedding anniversary, Aimerich said. They were married April 4, 2008 in France.
They drank daiquiris, rum, and wine, snacked on shrimp and shared a big plate of white rice and black beans, the waitress reported. Beyoncé had the chicken roasted in honey and lemon, and Jay-Z finished off a fish filet with tomato-based sauce.
Restaurant staffers had their photos taken with the visitors before they left, she added, escorted by police.
The 32-year-old Beyoncé Giselle Knowles has won 17 Grammys, performed at the Super Bowl halftime show this year, and sang the national anthem at President Barack Obama's inauguration in February. Jay-Z, born Shawn Corey Carter, has created a business empire that stretches from fashion to a part ownership of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets.
La Guarida, in the Havana Centro neighborhood, flourished when it opened in 1996, when a bankrupt Cuba was allowing some private enterprise and Western tourism to make up for the loss of the Soviet Union's massive subsidies.
It closed in 2009 as the island's economy recovered and ruler Fidel Castro cracked down on the private sector with tax and health inspectors but reopened a few years ago and has been attracting a steady stream of U.S. and other visitors.
It now displays photos of famous visitors, such as Will Smith, Jack Nicholson, Kevin Spacey, Naomi Campbell, Jodie Foster, Danny Glover, the queen of Spain, and Spanish actor Javier Bardem.
Anti-Castro activist Mauricio Claver-Carone wrote in his blog, Capitol Hill Cubans, on Thursday that the Cuban government had "seized on the trip's propaganda value" by posting pictures of Beyoncé and Jay-Z in Old Havana on the CubaSí pages.
Will they also meet with dissident musicians or jailed opposition activists, asked Claver-Carone, who is also executive director of the U.S. Cuba Democracy political action committee in Washington.
"Or will they just wine and dine at the Castro regime's hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs fulfilling a propaganda dream for Cuba's brutal dictatorship a la Dennis Rodman," he added, referring to the retired basketball star's recent trip to North Korea.
It's unclear whether their trip to Cuba will impact Beyoncé's Miami concert at AmericanAirlines Arena on July 10 as part of her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. Jay-Z will perform Aug. 16 at Sun Life Stadium as part of the Legends of the Summer tour with Justin Timberlake.
The news of their visit came in the same week that famous Cuban blogger Yoani Sánchez made several well-attended appearances in Miami to talk about human-rights abuses and lack of basic freedoms on the Communist-ruled island. Miami is home to hundreds of thousands of Cuban exiles who fled the Castro regime starting in 1959.
Jay-Z at times has mentioned Cuba in his raps. In Otis, with Kanye West, he raps, "Welcome to Havana smoking cubanos with Castro in cabanas." And in his latest hit with Timberlake, Suit & Tie, he raps this line: "Green card for the Cuban linx."

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. For the veal ravioli filling: Season the meat with salt and pepper. Place the meat in an oven-proof pan and cover with the veal oil. Add the garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Slow cook the meat for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until the meat is very tender. Remove from the oven and strain. Reserve the veal oil for future use. Discard the rosemary. In a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, add the veal meat, 1/4 cup of the reserved oil, 1/2 cup of the shallots, garlic, rosemary and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped. If the rillette is not moist enough, add some of the remaining veal oil. Cover the rillette and store in the refrigerator. The rillette will keep for up to 2 weeks. Makes about 3/4 pound.
For the Morel Cream Sauce: Place the dried morels in a shallow bowl. Pour the warm water over the morels. Allow to sit for at least 1 hour. Strain the morels, reserving the liquid. Cut the rehydrated morels into 1/4-inch thick rings. In a saucepan, over medium heat, add 2 teaspoons of the oil. Add the morels and the remaining 1/2 cup of shallots. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 6 minutes. Add the reserved and strained morel liquid. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 4 minutes. Add the cream and continue to cook for 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
To make the raviolis: Place 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of 32 pasta squares. Lightly wet the edges of the pasta with water. Place 1 pasta square on top of the filled square. Press the edges of the square firmly to seal the square. Repeat the procedure until all the squares are sealed. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain. Toss the raviolis with the warm mushrooms sauce and garnish with the grated cheese.

Triple Threat Chocolate Chip Cookies - My Way
This week's Project Pastry Queen challenge is Triple Threat Chocolate Chip Cookies (thank you for this week's selection, Rebecca!). They contain chocolate and chocolate, and in case there wasn't enough, more chocolate. With just enough sugar to hold them together.
Look how crackly and crinkly these bites of almost heaven look! Crunchy outside, mousse-like inside. Who could ask for anything more? Besides a glass of milk?
As usual, I made the challenge recipe my way. Actually, youngerSon's way -- without the pecans and walnuts. Normally I like nut-studded cookies. But these have so much going for them that I didn't miss 'em a bit.
The recipe is supposed to make 48 cookies. Since I don't own a 1 3/4 inch scoop to measure out the dough, I guestimated a couple generous tablespoons per cookie and managed to eek out 39 2-inch ones. Your mileage may vary.
The cookies are supposed to keep for up to 3 days. That's so silly. They will barely last a day.
Triple Threat Chocolate Chip Cookies
Recipe from The Pastry Queen, ingredients list at Through the Looking Glass (just ignore the marshmallows and nuts)
Makes around 3-4 dozen cookies
Start pulling out the ingredients from the pantry. Realize that you don't have bittersweet chocolate. Sneak in more semi-sweet chocolate and hope that no one will notice.
Coarsely chop up the pretend bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate. Melt chocolates along with butter in a small saucepan over very low heat, stirring often until chocolate is entirely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool.
Pour eggs and sugar into a large mixing bowl.
Beat at medium speed for 3 minutes, until mixture is pale yellow and fluffy.
Add vanilla and cooled melted chocolate (don't cheat or you'll cook the egg mixture).
Beat at medium speed for another 2 minutes. It will look like mousse or frosting.
Add flour, baking powder and salt. Mix at low speed just until the flour is blended in. Then stir in chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
Let dough rest for 20 minutes. It will still be soft and sticky, but a little easier to work with. In the meantime, preheat oven to 350F and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper.
Plop very generous tablespoons of dough (about 2 measured tablespoons) onto prepared cookie sheets. Wet a fingertip with cold water (preferably the one you weren't using to taste the dough) and press down the dough slightly.
Pop cookie sheets into oven. Bake for 10 minutes, or until cookies start to crack and look dry-glossy (instead of uncooked glossy. You will be able to tell the difference when you see it). Are these awesome or what?
Remove cookie sheets from oven and place on a heat-proof surface. Let cookies cool for a few minutes, then slide parchment, along with the cookies, onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely before eating. Store leftovers, if any, tightly covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Thought I saw a stray chocolate chip roll over here.

SAN BERNARDINO — The District Attorney's office has found the fatal shooting of Richard Matus in 2011 by a San Bernardino police officer justified.
Police responded to a attempt murder call at 204 S. Golden Avenue around 8:00 p.m. on January 30, 2011.
While officers were searching for the suspect, Officer Joey Zink and Officer Nicole Lindsey heard a man quietly speak out begging for help through a locked bathroom door, according to the DA's findings.
With his gun drawn, Zink kicked in the bathroom door where he found Matus holding a knife to the throat of Peter Salazar, an elderly man, authorities said.
Zink grabbed the hand Matus was holding the knife with and struggled to take the knife from the victims throat.
Zink felt Salazar's life was in danger so he shot Matus twice freeing Salazar from further injury, authorities said.
Salazar safely removed from the bathroom and Zink immediately called for medical aid for Matus.
Matus later at the hospital from his wounds.
After an extensive investigation, looking at all the facts, the DA's office ruled the fatal shooting justified citing "Matus' death was unfortunate, however, each officer, including Zink, acted reasonably and within their lawful authority".

2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - Long-Term Report Part 2Posted in Vehicle Reviews on February 1, 2013
Using the 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon as a domesticated family truckster is like inviting your single, beer-drinking, meat-loving, Texas roughneck buddy to give the best man speech at a dry bar, vegetarian-only, gay wedding. It's gonna be uncomfortable for somebody and it could get ugly. This quarter our two-door Wrangler spent quite a bit of time handling Mr. Mom duties while still finding time to get away from the ol' ball and chain and rug rats for a little dirt time.
Our biggest complaint this quarter? Not enough space for a family of three and the space that is there is hard to use and access. The gravity-dependent doors were the first to get noticed. Just like all CJ and Wrangler doors, they are limited by nylon straps, but these don't keep the doors from closing on you or from slamming into the car next to you when the Jeep is parked on a sidehill. Trying to put groceries in the front seat is like juggling flaming tennis balls when you are chasing the door open and closed. The tailgate received a detent to keep it open several years ago; we think the doors should be next on the list. Although, if not well thought out, this will probably make door removal more difficult, if that's your kinda thing.
Of course, as noted in our first report, it's still impossible to put real people in the back seat of the Wrangler. Some single staffers sans-family prefer to simply remove the seat anyway. But those staffers with kiddos found a need for rear seat and cargo space improvement. A typical family trip to Costco would bury the back seat passengers with bulk items up to their eyeballs. A nice feature would be a split rear bench, similar to what you can find in the rear of a four-door Wrangler Unlimited, only smaller. This could allow a person to sit on one side with extra storage space on the other. Speaking of the fold and tumble rear seat, why won't it lock in the up position? Aside from the domesticated interior complaints, the Wrangler Rubicon makes an awesome weekend-wheeling getaway car for one or two people. Yank the rear seat and you have plenty of storage.
We love that the Wrangler is small, fun, and darty on the highway. You can easily sew your way through tight spots in traffic. Pretty much anyone can park the Wrangler Rubicon, even in confined downtown Los Angeles, thanks to its small size, great visibility, and fantastic maneuverability.
The Sunrider soft top on our Wrangler has been fun during the warmer months. Over the long haul we'd probably opt for the hardtop, but in our experience neither top is the end-all solution. We like the hardtop for its durability, sound-deadening qualities, and how it does a slightly better job of sealing out the dust while off-road. The soft top is easier to take down, stow away, and remarkably, it's a bit more water-tight than the hardtop. Flipping the Sunrider portion of the soft top back to create a sunroof is way easier than removing and stashing the hardtop roof panels. The material of our soft top is looking a little mud-stained. It's due for a thorough scrubbing, and the windows are starting to show scratches from mud and brush encounters.
Next quarter, we'll hit the rocks and make a road trip to the east coast in our long-term Wrangler.

The subject of a Lehigh Valley man's quixotic, heavily armed "rescue mission" to New York City — a 16-year-old girl ostensibly at risk from the heroin trade — didn't need to be rescued, according to her mother and police.
"My daughter doesn't do heroin," Cyndi Angeles said Wednesday outside her home in Wilkes-Barre as she prepared to leave for New York to pick up her daughter. "It was her friend."
Angeles said she had only learned of her daughter's involvement Wednesday morning and offered no further comment.

Over the years, Oswegonians have received their diplomas in Romney Field House, Laker Hall, the Richardson Theatre downtown, and the new Campus Center convocation center.
The 1941 class graduated on the steps of Sheldon Hall because the auditorium had been destroyed by fire. The Centennial Class of 1961 graduated in an outdoor ceremony. And no matter how big the graduating classes get — this year's May Sesquicentennial class numbered 1,400 — one unique feature of Oswego Commencements endures: Each student's name is read aloud as graduates cross the stage to receive congratulations from their dean and the college president.

Author Notes: Cooks prize Lychees for their exotic perfume and fruity flavor, but I always was a little apprehensive. They looked strange to me in their shells.
Than, when I found caned lychees, they were shelled, pitted, and juicy, just ready to use in this fragrant Sauce and Bellini which I made before with other caned or frozen fruits or berries. I add lime juice because the lychees are caned in heavy syrup.
Serves: makes 3 cups sauce and 6 bellini.
Lychee and Ginger Ice Cream Sauce.
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 can (15oz) lychees
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon candied ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• ½ inch slice fresh ginger, with skin
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 can (15oz) lychees drained and then semi-frozen
• 3-4 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 bottle Champagne or Sparkling Wine chilled
In This Recipe
- To make Lychee Sauce: Mix together sugar and cornstarch in a sauce pan. Drain syrup from lychees (about 1 cup) and blend into cornstarch mixture. Add butter and ginger and cook, stirring, until sauce bubbles and thickens (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in lychees and lime juice. Serve warm or room temperature spooned over ice cream.
- For the Bellini: Begin by making the ginger simple syrup. Peel and grate the ginger. Add it together with the sugar and cold water to a saucepan. Bring it to a boil and stir until the sugar dissolves. Cover and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain, discard ginger pieces and set simple syrup aside.
- In a blender add lychees and blend until completely pureed. Add ginger simple syrup, lime juice and the syrup from drained lychees, blend and then place into the refrigerator to cool.
- For serving: Pour puree to a cocktail shaker, top off with Champagne and shake vigorously to combine. Pour into Champagne or any tall glasses and repeat process as needed. This photo was taking May/ 29/ 2011 at my Son's In Law Birthday Brunch.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Soda Fountain Recipe

Accounting Research BULLETINS • Issued by the Committee on Accounting Procedure, American Institute of Accountants 13 East 41st Street. New York 17, N. Y. Copyright 1948 by American Institute of Accountants November, 1948 No. 36 Pension Plans Accounting for Annuity Costs Based on Past Services 1. When costs incur red under pension plans are based in part on services performed prior to the adoption of the plan, the problem arises whether that portion of the costs which are attributable to such services are applicable to the past or to the present and future periods and, accordingly, whether they should be charged to income. This bulletin deals with the accounting treatment of such costs arising out of past services when incurred under pension plans involving payments to outside agencies such as insurance companies and trustees. 2. The committee has undertaken a statement on this subject at this time because of the trend toward expansion of pension plans to cover a wider and much larger group of employees, often at sub-stantially increased costs, and in order to narrow the area of differ-ence in the accounting treatment accorded in actual practice to annuity costs based on past services. Self-administered and informal plans which do not require payments to outside agencies are not specifically dealt with because of their special features and lack of uniformity. The principles set forth herein, however, are generally applicable to those plans as well. 3. Charges with respect to pension costs based on past services have often been made to surplus on the grounds that such payments are indirectly compensation for services and, since the services upon which the payments are computed were performed in the past, the compensation should not be permitted to affect any period or periods other than those in which the services involved were performed. In other cases all annuity costs based on past services have been charged to income in the period of the plan's inauguration as a current cost of originating the plan. In still other cases the position has been taken that a pension plan cannot bring the anticipated benefits in the future unless past as well as future services are given recognition and, 279

Breweries are booming!
Now this is news I can appreciate — and savor.
In the midst of all the murders, stabbings, wildfires, molestations and multiple-car pileups we hear about every day, it's nice to finally get some good news.
And here it is: The number of U.S. breweries more than doubled — from 398 to 869 — between 2007 and 2012, according to U.S. Census Bureau data released Monday.
Those numbers don't surprise me because it seems like you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a new microbrewery.
Here are some more numbers:
The breweries industry reported $28.3 billion in shipments in 2012, an increase of nearl y 33.6 percent since 2007.
Brewery employment is also up, so there's a career option some of you may not have considered.
In 2012 there were 26,077 people employed in the industry, an increase of 17.2 percent from 22,252 in 2007.
I look at it this way: The more people who are out there working in the industry, the more varied my beer options will be.
And that's what it boils down to, doesn't it?
Now lest you think I'm an alcoholic, let me dispel that notion. That's not the case. But I have been known to enjoy some good craft beers on occasion.
Stone Brewery's Arrogant Bastard Ale comes to mind. But I've also come to relish Racer 5 India Pale Ale and Lagunitas IPA.
And I have to tell you, half of my motivation for trying some of these craft beers is the name.
There are some pretty creative names out there and I always wonder who comes up with them.
Here are some that were included in Zymurgy magazine's annual list of the best commercial beers in America:
Russian River Blind Pig IPA, Three Floyds Zombie Dust, Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous, Green Flash Palate Wrecker, North Coast Old Rasputin, Deschutes the Abyss and Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald.
The latter is an obvious reference to the shipwreck but also to the Gordon Lightfoot song, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."
The names get even weirder when you walk into a BevMo or a sports bar like Barney's in Pasadena.
And speaking of Pasadena, if you like a little religion with your beer try Congregation Ale House.
Where else can you down a beer while also looking at a stained-glass window?
Their beer list includes Monkish Feminist, Eagle Rock Solidarity and Greene King Old Speckled Hen.
Yes, breweries are booming and they always need people to buy their beer.
That's where I come in. Well … somebody's got to do it.

"I hate you, Fargo!"
I was carrying a message to Jackie Fargo from Al Greene, the notorious Tennessee heel who severed Fargo's peroxide blond locks during a savage 1972 feud that attracted standing-room only crowds to the Mid-South Coliseum in Memphis.
"I hate you, Fargo, I hate you! You're nothing but a coward, a yellow-bellied coward!" I said, reading to the Fabulous One from a sheet of paper I had crumpled in my pocket after a conversation with Greene a few days before. When I mentioned I was planning on visiting Fargo in his hometown of China Grove, N.C., Greene decided it would be great fun if I could convey his hatred in person.
"I shaved your head once, Fargo. I'll do it again. I hate you, Fargo!"
Fargo rose from a beat-up recliner that looked like it had been abandoned along U.S. 29, the north-south highway that passed his "place of business," which was Fargo-speak for a gambling room. "Well, I'll tell ya, pally ..." he said. "You want a soda?" I nodded, and as he brought me a soft drink from a cooler, he turned his nose up as if he had smelled something foul.
"Al wasn't a wrestler," he said.
As Fargo sat down, I understood implicitly that I was to take that slight back to Greene, start another merry-go-round of insults, and -- who knows? -- maybe build to a return legends grudge match 35 years after the first one. Jackie Fargo had sensed an opening and he was going to goad it to see where it might lead.
The news that Fargo was hospitalized last weekend with a serious heart problem has saddened the wrestling world -- hoping for a furious comeback -- because he's long been proud of his good health. When he turned 76, he told me, "If I didn't know no better, I'd think I was 35." And when we discussed the hard times of Sputnik Monroe, Fargo made it clear he lived a cleaner life than most of his contemporaries. "One thing truthfully, I never had no cocaine down this nose and no drugs. In my heyday, it was a six-pack; that was the thing back then."
Born Henry L. Faggart on June 26, 1930 -- most Internet sites have the wrong birth name or birth date -- Fargo is considered one of the great opportunists of his time, whether he was working an angle in business, politics, wrestling or the locker room.
His "place of business" -- an unmarked, single story, brown clapboard structure the size of an unkempt fishing cabin -- was in fact an opportunity, at least for the lucky. The China Grove establishment was just Fargo's latest wheeler-dealer incarnation; TV announcer Lance Russell once confirmed that Fargo operated bookie joints in Memphis and Nashville during his wrestling days, as well.
Before he closed up shop a few years ago, you could swing by and talk wrestling and life, as I did, and also play any number of games of chance, bookmaking and numbers running foremost among them.
If a local buddy tipped off Fargo that the law was after him, he'd stash everything away behind lock and key before the authorities arrived. Sometimes, it worked; sometimes, it didn't. In November 2005, police investigating a suspected arson attempt seized about 20 gambling devices from his building. Jackie Fargo, Offender No. 0933931, received probation and parole a few months later for a Class 2 misdemeanor conviction of gambling and running a lottery.
That didn't shake him, of course, and neither did the large insect that crawled across the floor at his gaming endeavor when I was there one day. "Ahh," he said to one of the regulars, "go get some bug spray." From his pocket, he pulled a stash of bills the size of a boxing glove -- unreported income, I suspect -- and went right back to telling stories and seizing opportunities.
One came when a fledgling magazine named Sports Nashville did a major story on him in 2005, sort of a "Where Are They Now?" reflection on the man who was king of Memphis before Jerry Lawler, whose career he launched. The publication was delighted with the response. "We had a lot of comments about that piece, lots of people remembered him," editor Sherry Stinson emailed me.
That wasn't the first time Fargo moved his place of origin just for the heck of it. He was wrestling in Missouri in 1953, not long after he got out of the U.S. Army, when he convinced a local sports editor he was one of the few great wrestlers ever developed in North Dakota. I showed him the clipping one time and asked how he thought he could fool anyone, given his North Carolina drawl. "I told 'im I was from the south part of North Dakota," he deadpanned.
I covered a lot of ground with him in interviews for The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Tag Teams and The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: Heroes & Icons, but he showed no interest in doing a full-blown book or ruminating about his outlaw days that had him in and out of his court in tiffs with business partners and other wrestlers. He told me one promoter offered him $1,000 and a piece of the action to do a shoot DVD interview, but that was chump change; he had more money than that in his pocket when he authorized the bug spray purchase.
In fact, Fargo paid little attention to the wrestling business outside of his little piece of it, which became hysterically apparent when he and wrestling brother Don (Don Kalt) were inducted into the Hall of Heroes at Carolina promoter Greg Price's Legends Fanfest in 2009. They were cited for their work as a world championship tag team in the 1950s and 1960s, as well as Jackie's dominance of Tennessee wrestling for more than a decade.
I was sitting with Fargo and Bobby Fulton when "Number One" Paul Jones got up to induct the late Nelson Royal, his tag team partner, into the Hall of Heroes. "Paul Jones!" Fargo blurted out loud enough to loosen the fixtures. "I thought he was dead!"
Fulton, delirious and mortified at the same time, quickly pulled Fargo aside and told him he was thinking of an old-time Georgia promoter named Paul Jones, who died years ago. This Paul Jones, nicknamed "Number One," was a big name in the '60s and '70s in the Charlotte, N.C., territory next to China Grove.
"Never heard of 'im," Fargo sniffed.

2014 India DM Finalist Story: iKure - Paving the Way to Accessible and Affordable Healthcare through Software Development
We traveled down a bumpy, dirt road in the rural areas of West Bengal towards a village called Bolpur. Three hours after leaving Kolkata, the car pulled up to an unassuming concrete building. The health care worker who accompanied us for this ride jumped out enthusiastically and immediately spoke into her megaphone. "Not feeling well?" she called out to the village, "Need a quick check up? Come and visit us for the next hour and a half." Here, in a small village, at an unassuming building, we had found ourselves at an iKure spot camp.
iKure [1] - a Kolkata-based social enterprise dedicated to bringing affordable health care to India's poorest populations - has created these spot camps as an integral part of their inventive model for a network of health clinics in India's rural areas. In addition to providing access to doctors and medicine prescriptions, they provide the necessary outreach to tell villagers about where and when the clinics are and how they can access medical consultations and medicine.To understand iKure's creative approach to bringing health care to those most in need, think about it like a bicycle wheel. At the hub, there is a main clinic that acts as the base for an additional 21, strategically placed spoke clinics: acting as the spokes emanating from the wheel and serving a potential population of 175,000 people. The hub is a traditional clinic with a doctor, paramedical assistant, and two health workers on call. Throughout the week, the medical staff will rotate at fixed times to the spoke clinics, which are located within a 15 mile radius of the hub. Walking into the spoke clinic in Bolpur, we see that, like many other clinics, it consists of basic, one room offices, with maybe a bed, a desk, and a chair. Regardless of the basic nature, patients are diagnosed, prescribed and given medicine, and given care for the affordable and uniform price of 80 Rps. The spot camps, like the ones mentioned earlier, let people know where the nearest spoke clinic is and when it is open.
iKure's innovation in the delivery of health care to India's poor does not stop at its hub and spoke clinic model. Through the use of proprietary software, Wireless Health Incident Monitoring System, or WHIMS, iKure is able to collect health information of patients in an efficient and technology-enabled manner. This allows them to utilize Android tablets, armed with the WHIMS platform, and work in areas where internet is scarce – due to low bandwidth – and electricity is erratic at best. This diagnostic tool is used to collect vital patient information for health screenings as well as early detection or monitoring of diseases.
iKure's model is as innovative as its founder, Sujay Santra. [2] A software developer by training, Sujay conceptualized the iKure's model after he witnessed the trials and tribulations his own father had in accessing healthcare when he became ill. Through iKure's hands on approach, Sujay saw the possibility of helping as many people as he could get access to quality healthcare.
For the 2014 India Development Marketplace [3], Sujay and the rest of the iKure team proposed to expand their grassroots operations to Meghalaya in a public-private partnership with the local government. Although challenges exist, Sujay and the team are not deterred. Although Meghalaya has low internet connectivity, intermittent or little access to grid electricity and little to no accessible health care in the area, they believe they will be able to bring health care through their innovative model, WHIMS technology, partnerships and in identifying and training local, existing healthcare workers such as Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) who currently work in the region.
With rural communities connected by simple dusty and bumpy roads, iKure's vision is bold. But with rural communities in desperate need for health services, Sujay and his team see the roads as surmountable obstacles, waiting to be paved to accessible, affordable health care.
iKure is one of 20 innovative social organizations [4] that has been short listed as finalists for the 2014 India Development Marketplace, all of whom have proposed incredible projects that truly help the poorest populations in India. Winning organizations have not been selected yet, and an announcement of those selected will be made soon. In spite of which organization is selected, the DM Team wanted to make sure that these innovative stories were told.
Carolyn Marie Florey is the Operations Officer for Innovation Labs and the Development Marketplace at the World Bank Insitute. In addition to telling the amazing stories of social entrepreneurs, she also blogs about Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

Microsoft yesterday added its Office suite to Windows 8's online store, the first non-Metro application to be listed in the e-mart.
The move tipped how Microsoft will promote traditional x86/64 desktop software through the Windows Store.
Rather than offer Office 2010 as a download direct from the new app store, Microsoft simply provided a link to its already-active download-and-purchase Office website.
Unlike Metro apps, which will be available for purchase when the full Windows Store goes live later this year, desktop programs will not use the e-market's integrated buying and delivery technology.
Microsoft's developer agreement made that clear.
"You may submit an app description for one or more desktop apps to the pre-release version of the Windows Store," the App Developer Agreement, last updated May 31, reads. "Notwithstanding anything else in this agreement, you understand that Microsoft will not offer any desktop apps through the Store and only Metro style apps are made available through the Windows Store."
By "offer" Microsoft probably means app sales and fulfillment.
Other requirements for desktop program submissions clarified that the Windows Store will only point potential buyers to an external website.
"Microsoft may, but is not required to, list the desktop app in the Windows Store together with a link you provide, to a website where users can acquire the app," the agreement states. "You are solely responsible and agree to maintain that website and provide an updated link to Microsoft if the URL changes."
The company defined a desktop application as "Any apps built using APIs other than the APIs for Metro style apps that run on Windows 8."
One gray area is browsers, which are the only type of software allowed to call both Win32 APIs (application programming interfaces) from the desktop mode and WinRT APIs, those used to craft Metro apps.
But while Microsoft will take a 30% cut of all Metro apps for the first $25,000 in sales, then 20% after that, it's unclear what, if anything, the company will demand from desktop app developers for listing their work in the store.
The listings, in fact, may be free, as the pertinent paragraph in the developer agreement makes no mention of a listing fee.
Microsoft did not discount Office 2010 through the Windows Store: The prices on the destination URL start at $120 for a single-license edition of Office Home and Student and climb to $500 for a two-license copy of Office Professional.
The Windows Store will offer only free apps until the debut of Windows 8, which most analysts expect in the fourth quarter.
The first desktop application to be listed in the Windows 8 app store is, not surprisingly, Microsoft's own Office 2010.
