To learn more about Bridge House's mission to serve Boulder's homeless and working poor -- or to volunteer in a variety of capacities -- visit the organization's website at boulderbridgehouse.org .
Pounds upon pounds of potatoes. Bundles of bananas. And a massive amount of milk.
The flood of food delivered to Bridge House's newly opened commercial kitchen in east Boulder on Wednesday only served to emphasize what the 2,700-square-foot facility means to the nonprofit organization and the meals it provides Boulder's needy through its Community Table program.
With walk-in coolers, state-of-the-art equipment and vastly more space than its old cooking digs, the aptly named Community Table Kitchen greatly improves Bridge House's ability to churn out the estimated 60,000 meals it produces annually for the city's neediest residents, staff members say.
Meals will be fresher, as food can be cooked all week and served the next day instead of five days worth of meals being prepared over two days in the kitchen of Bridge House's neighbor -- Boulder's First Congregational Church -- and frozen until it's time to be served.
The food will be more nutritious, staffers say, utilizing fresh produce from the Bridge House's garden and fresh dairy to provide more balanced meals.
And improved food quality is just the beginning. The facility also provides an opportunity for Bridge House to expand its Ready to Work job-training program for its homeless clients into the food service realm.
In its first week of operation, two recently homeless Bridge House clients helped out in the kitchen, receiving competitive wages -- the program pays $8 an hour initially -- and on-the-job training that the nonprofit organization's staff hopes will help them land jobs with private employers in the near future.
"I think the impact is going to be dramatic," Bridge House Executive Director Isabel McDevitt said of the Community Table Kitchen. "We are marrying our two missions: to provide nutritious meals for the homeless and working poor who don't have access to other food, and to create jobs for homeless individuals looking to get back to work through our Ready to Work program."
'This feels like fate'
Emphasizing what an upgrade the kitchen is, McDevitt noted that the Bridge House day shelter and base of operations -- the historic carriage house located near Pine Street and Broadway, behind First Congregational -- is about 1,200 square feet, or less than half the size of the new kitchen at 5345 Arapahoe Road.
And that is without considering the 900 square feet of office space located above the new kitchen. Bridge House staff including the development director, volunteer coordinator and nutrition/kitchen director Shari Leyshon will work out of that space, McDevitt said.
The kitchen project, which included buying the building, renovating it and outfitting it with completely new equipment, costs about $990,000, McDevitt said, all of which was provided by an anonymous donor. Things moved quickly, with staff finding the space in September and closing the deal in October.
"This whole project really went off without a hitch," McDevitt said. "This feels like fate. We were 100 percent on time with our construction, our team worked really well together and this is what we have."
'Providing good nutrition'
Leyshon has been involved with Bridge House for five years, spending the last year-and-a-half as a paid employee. She has experience as a pastry chef and artisan food broker, helping small food producers sell their products to distributors.
She spoke enthusiastically Wednesday about how the kitchen would impact the 60,000 servings of food Bridge House prepares annually, a number she expects to ramp up to 70,000 in the near future.
Community Table dinners still will be held at First United Methodist Church, Mountain View Methodist Church and St. John's Episcopal Church.
Leyshon said she's excited to cook hot breakfasts for the first time for the program, as well as provide healthier meals with more fresh veggies.
"Homeless people really have a backlog of nutritional deficiencies, so providing good nutrition is really a way to support their recovery so that they can reach their highest efficiency," Leyshon said.
Leyshon said she became involved with Bridge House because she liked its broad impact, connecting the homeless with counseling and other resources to address their physical and mental health needs while also helping them move toward stable housing and employment. She said she's happy to see the program grow through the kitchen, where Ready to Work participants will prepare meals side by side with community volunteers.
"Our clients become connected to something bigger than themselves," she said of her kitchen trainees. "The opportunity they have to invest their skills and their abilities and to participate has almost an instant impact on self esteem, and that is just so powerful."
'It's been incredible for me'
Douglas McKee can speak to that power.
The 57-year-old former Bridge House client was part of a Ready to Work crew that performed clean-up and landscaping jobs in downtown Boulder until just recently.
McKee spent two decades working in restaurants in the Aspen area, though he simultaneously was dealing with drug and alcohol addiction that contributed to his homelessness. His kitchen experience helped earn him a full-time position as the Community Table Kitchen's sous chef.
"I literally went from picking up cigarette butts to being in staff meetings, which was mind-blowing," McKee said. "To be able to open this, it's been incredible for me personally."
The excitement was evident on McKee's face when he spoke about cooking in the facility, floating ideas about fresh soups and in-house baking. The Army veteran was optimistic about doing some catering out of the facility in the future to help make it self-sustaining.
He said his main goals are giving back to the homeless community through nutritious meals, leading by example for Ready to Work trainees and being able to do it all while clean and sober -- a status he has maintained for three years.
"For me on my end, I hope to set a good example that you can get out of homelessness if you want to," McKee said. "You can get off the drugs and alcohol if you want to. But it starts with you. You have to make that decision."
'I am trying and I don't give up'
McDevitt said the goal is to have five Ready to Work trainees working in the kitchen by year's end, but for now there are two: Samantha Nelson and Fred Foster.
Nelson, 36, is staying with a friend now, but was most recently homeless for a year-and-a-half after quitting a job as a certified nursing assistant because she said she disagreed with her employer's politics.
She outlined the challenges the homeless face when seeking employment, whether it's stigma -- "They see your backpack and see you're sleeping in a bush and they fire you" -- or not having the proper paperwork and ID, or trying to keep a regular schedule when you have to move around every night to avoid camping tickets.
"It's not easy out there and there are a lot of prejudices. Some people have given up," she said. "I have good people in my life right now. I'm trying and I don't give up."
Nelson said Bridge House "understands what happens to street people," citing examples such as some homeless not having Social Security cards because they've been stolen, or showing up to work wet because they had no place to get out of the rain.
"Bridge House really gives a hand to people who are trying to change their life," Nelson said. "There are people out there who do want to work. It's awesome that this program helps people like that. It really does build your self-esteem to go and cash a pay check."
'Cooking looks like a pretty good thing'
Foster, 57, first experienced homelessness following his divorce in 2008. His wife was the primary breadwinner and Foster admits he was unprepared for life after marriage and went through a period where he didn't care about anything anymore.
He's staying at the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, where he is part of its transition program, designed to help clients move into sustainable housing.
Two weeks ago, Foster joined the Ready to Work program, first as part of the unpaid "internship" portion where Bridge House staff work with clients to ensure they can keep a work schedule and meet other obligations before moving to a paid position.
While he previously toiled as a short-order cook, Foster said he has never worked in a commercial kitchen before. Tuesday was his first day working in the Community Table Kitchen. He said he most enjoyed spending time with the volunteers who helped with the cooking, calling them "great people."
"I figure this will give me experience, and I'm getting to the age now that cooking looks like a pretty good thing to me," Foster said, adding that he sees Ready to Work as a way to better his circumstances. "I want desperately to be out of the shelter. I'm thankful, and it's a place to lay my head every night, but I'd love to get out as soon as I possibly can."
'A total win-win'
Wednesday's 3,100-pound food delivery to the kitchen came courtesy of Community Foods Share, a longtime Bridge House partner and the designated food bank for Boulder and Broomfield counties. When Bridge House was working out of the First Congregational Church, weekly food deliveries ranged between 1,200 and 1,700 pounds.
Michael StaffordCrane, Community Food Share's director of operations, and Michele Harvey, the food bank's programs manager, helped unload the delivery Wednesday. Both commented on the benefits of the space, including having better storage, and tools such as a blast chiller, which will cool food more quickly and allow the kitchen to cook greater quantities of food while still meeting food-safety standards.
Harvey said an estimated 58,000 people live below the poverty line in Boulder County and hunger is a growing issue, which she feels the Community Table Kitchen will be a valuable tool in combating.
"We all feel it when we miss a meal," Harvey said. "For folks that might be only getting one meal a day, it's important to be able to get a full day of nutrients, which we know is the goal of Bridge House in every meal they serve. And Community Food Share is able to support that through the types of food we procure and donate."
McDevitt said Bridge House has much left to do to make its continuum of care for the homeless the best it can be, but she feels the Community Table Kitchen is a huge step in the right direction.
"It's a total win-win," she said. "It's taking Bridge House to the next level."

"The project will focus primarily on the park's Intrepid mountain bike trails, specifically in the particularly sandy areas," trail volunteer Matthew Ferrell said in a news release. "This will involve removing sand as well as reinforcing areas with rocks to prevent future erosion. The park also needs help creating more visible trail boundaries to prevent hikers and cyclists from going off trail. While the park is proud to provide recreational opportunities for its visitors it also has an obligation to protect and preserve the natural environment for future generations of native species and park visitors alike. With the fragile desert ecosystem, keeping trails well marked and maintained is paramount to this effort."
Those who wish to volunteer are asked to bring gloves, water, and lunch and be prepared to hike up to five miles, according to the news release. Tools and snacks will be provided.
"Trail maintenance is important to ensure that our recreational use of land is making as little negative impact as possible on the surrounding environment," park naturalist, Jordan Perez said in the news release. "Simple tasks like reinforcing trail borders can make a big difference in the protection of nearby natural resources."
Later that evening, at 6:30 p.m., the volunteers are invited for a night underneath a blanket of stars at the visitor center.
Dead Horse Point State Park is located nine miles north of Moab on U.S. 191, and 23 miles south on state Route 313. Register in advance by contacting the park at 435-259-2614. Trail crew volunteers get free entrance into the park for the day.

This shadow compact from stila is a real showstopper. Made with a proprietary pressing and baking process, each one-of-kind pan features a kaleidoscope of vibrant on-trend hues. Mix and match for endless color combinations.
I work at a cosmetics counter and was very excited when we received the new Stila shades. Sadly, I am very disappointed with the shadows.
The colors are not very pigmented, you have to layer so much of the product onto the lid. It's not worth it. Also, the colors in the shadow jar mix together and are very hard to clean up to get to use just one color; after you use the shadow once, you will ruin the likelihood have being able to use each individual shadow again.
This product should be sold at drugstores at a significantly lower price. It should not be sold in department stores or cosmetic counters.
I first bought this in Indie (the purple/pinks) but returned it because the colors did not vary much, and i wanted something that i could do an entire eye look with. I then bought encore, which is a bit better. The shadows are quite soft and are easy to apply and blend, but are not very pigmented. I found myself having to pack on the shadow to get the colors to really show up. I haven't tried any of the brighter colors though - hopefully they have more pigmentation!3
I purchased the Center Stage color. Despite the negative reviews, I splurged on this because I thought it looked cool and thought, "Hey, at least it will look pretty in the case!" Other people are correct; it is not very pigmented. However, I found it to be a GREAT blending eye shadow. I recently purchased a couple REALLY bright palettes from another website that WERE very pigmented and was having trouble figuring out how to use them and not look like a clown. This eye shadow worked PERFECTLY! It shows up as a light bluish purple and was a great blender for all my other very pigmented pinks, greens, blues, and purples.
I'm a little mixed on whether I'd recommend it. If you have alot of palettes, like me, then you will definitely find a good use for it. Not sure if it's worth the price. You can probably find other similar blending eye shadows for much cheaper
I normally don't go for colors this bright, but this shadow is so much fun, I love how I can either go really pink or very purple. It is also fun to use as blush, so I love that I can get double use out of this product.
It also lasts ALL DAY LONG and stays just as bright as when I put it on first thing in the morning.
I purchased 2 of these pigments and absolutely love them! I'm in the beauty industry so I am naturally drawn to bright colors, so of course I was pulled in by these new eye shadows! Lately I'm more into the natural look so I was a little apprehensive about trying these. However, I was pleasantly pleased to find out the color doesn't transfer on as bright as it looks like it would! I would say they represent more of a pastel "watercolors" effect, which made me so happy! I bought a blue/pink swirl & it reminds me of cotton candy! :)5

Winter Olympics: Dangers of Short-Track Speedskating Mean Risks and Rewards
By Allyson Burger | BSU at the Games
During the semifinal 500-meter race at the 2010 U.S. Olympic trials for short-track speedskating, J.R. Celski let out agonizing screams as blood poured from a large wound on his inner thigh after he caught a turn too tight.
The gash resulted in six inches of his own blade cutting into his leg, severing his muscle.
In another freak accident, short-track skater Trevor Marsicano lost 50 percent of his blood volume on the ice to another skater's blade in a 2004 race.
Even Apolo Anton Ohno, the legendary U.S. Olympian, was tangled in a three-skater crash in the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. He did so just before crossing the finish line, winning a silver medal with a gash on his left leg from his own razor-sharp skates.
Short-track speedskating is traditionally one of the most-watched events in the Winter Games, amounting to more than 22.5 million viewers on average during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, according to Nielsen records.
But few spectators know the high risks in the sport until they witness such gruesome injuries.
A study by the American Journal of Sports Medicine after the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics examined the training load related to injury for 95 elite-level skaters. The results showed 61 of the 95 athletes sustained at least one injury during the previous season, and the most commonly reported places of injury were the knee, ankle, spine, leg and groin.
The two most common injuries occurring on-ice were ankle fractures (10.2 percent of athletes studied) and lacerations from the knee down (11.1 percent).
Leg laceration injuries, such as those suffered by Celski and Marsicano, are caused by the skate blade itself. Men's speedskating blades are generally 3.5 to 4 inches long and one millimeter thick. The longer and sharper the blade, the faster the skate on the slippery ice surface, which is why this injury is so common compared to others.
Additional protection
To minimize the risk for such injuries, short-track skating requires more safety equipment than long track, in which the athletes are actually armed with nothing but thin skin suits, protective glasses and their skates. Short track athletes wear skin-tight racing suits with hoods to decrease air resistance, glasses to protect their eyes from the wind and flying ice chips as well as to reduce the glare to improve the visibility of the track and hard-shell helmets.
Additional safety equipment required in training and competitions, as stated in the U.S. Speedskating rules and regulations, include gloves, shin protection, padded knee protection, neck pads and sharp round-edge speed skates conforming to the most current International Skating Union regulations.
Like in all high-level competition sports, the modern high-end safety equipment in short-track speedskating cannot prevent all injuries on the ice. The sharp turns and high speeds commonly lead to on-ice injuries, such as that of three-time Olympian and Sochi hopeful Allison Baver.
The 33-year-old U.S. skater was mid-race at the ISU World Cup on Feb. 8, 2009, when she and one of her teammates collided. Baver sustained a spiral fracture in her right leg, split her tibia, and also experienced significant damage to her ankle. Baver was able eventually to recover but only after an intense physical-therapy treatment involving six-hour rehab sessions of stationary bicycling, squats and deep stretching.
These same exercises are central in the treatment and recovery plan created by Dr. Eric Heiden, an orthopedic surgeon and a retired five-time Olympic gold medalist in speedskating. He now uses them with Celski and Baver.
In the few months between the Vancouver Games and his injury, Celski was able to finish physical rehabilitation and ice training in time to return to his spot on Team USA and compete in Vancouver, where he had a breakout performance and won the bronze medal in both the 1,500-meter race and the 5,000-meter relay event. Baver also made the American team just short of a year after breaking her leg, and finished in Vancouver with the bronze medal in the women's 3000-meter relay.
Sochi hopes
Both Celski and Baver competed for a spot on the U.S. Olympic team during the short-track trials in early January, but only Celski secured a spot on the team for the Sochi Winter Olympics. Celski, a 23-year-old Bay Area native who attends the University of California-Berkeley, set the world record in the 500 with a time of 39.937 seconds.
While he was still successful in the 2010 Games, Celski said he only now finally feels like he and his skating are "back to normal." He also said he is eager to assume the leadership position on the team left vacant when Ohno retired at the end of the Vancouver Games.
"We're making progress as a team," Celski said. "Apolo was definitely a huge inspiration to us all, but we're not a one-person team anymore.
"We'll be ready."

we are ND
Still Choppin and other "popular" college theme songs
Just a little bit of relief for your sore pride, folks. We may not be pleased with "In the Big House", which unfortunately is coming to a godzillatron near you soon, but we can no longer be singled out for that.
It all started, of course, with "We are ND".
Then of course, there were classics like LSU's and many others.
Now comes an official FSU production, Bane - Still Choppin
So at least we've got ever increasing company. I maintain that it all starts when you let Big & Rich get involved. It's downhill from there.

Brian Kelly announced that Dayne Crist will be starting at QB over Tommy Rees. Not wholly unexpected, but interesting nonetheless...
EDIT: Stats for those who are curious:

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
US President-elect Barack Obama's transition website reveals that he has rehired a former advisor who once advocated an American invasion of Israel in order to impose a peace deal on the Jewish state and the Palestinians.
Samantha Power will serve on the State Department National Security Team when Obama takes office in January, again raising the eyebrows of Israel's supporters in the US.
During the Democratic Party primary campaign Obama was blasted for having Power on his team by those pointed to a disturbing interview she gave in 2000.
In the interview with Harry Kreisler of the Institute for International Studies at Berkeley, Power suggests that the "Israel Lobby" controls US foreign policy, accuses Israel of widespread human rights violations and recommends invading Israel with a "mammoth protection force" to impose a peace agreement.

An exodus of kiwifruit workers fleeing Psa-ravaged orchards has seen the Western Bay of Plenty's rental property market swell, particularly in Te Puke.
According to Trade Me, available rentals in the Western Bay of Plenty (excluding Tauranga) from July to September were 30 per cent higher than during the same period last year.
The average rent of $403 was 11 per cent lower than a year before because of the increase in supply, the Trade Me figures showed.
The first two quarters of the year showed similar patterns as the third quarter.
Chris Campny, owner of The Rental Managers in Te Puke, said he had not seen a price drop in rental prices, but had definitely noticed the increase in listings.
The crippling effect of Psa on the kiwifruit industry had caused a lot of people to leave the area, putting their homes on the rental market as they went, he said.
"I've picked up quite a few jobs from people who throw their keys to me and say 'we're off to Australia, look after my house'."
Mr Campny said he had listed five such properties in the past six weeks.
"That would be the main reason why there's more rentals being made available."
Although people involved in the kiwifruit industry were leaving the area, others were coming in, meaning demand for rental properties hadn't dropped off too much.
Mr Campny said he had noticed people from Papamoa moving into nice houses in good Te Puke suburbs and enjoying the cheaper rent.
He had also noticed couples renting houses in Pukehina or Te Puke as a halfway point between their places of work in Tauranga, Rotorua or Whakatane.
In Tauranga, the number of rental properties listed on Trade Me during the third quarter of the year rose 8 per cent (compared with the same time last year), and the average rent of $347 did not change at all.
Property manager Jenna Shore, of Professionals Tauranga, said the demand for rental houses in Tauranga had cooled down on previous years.
"We're just finding that people aren't moving around so much, they're tending to stay put. We have noticed our tenants are staying longer.
"There's not enough demand and wages aren't great in Tauranga so landlords, if they've got a good tenant, they're tending to keep the rent at a level so as to keep the tenant."
However with summer coming, property managers expected to see more movement and greater demand, especially in the seaside suburbs.
"There's more people in the area over summer and it probably increases the rental prices," Sharyn Woollett from Ray White Mt Maunganui said.
"It's been a lot easier to rent properties in Papamoa East since the new schools opened there. Eighteen months ago Papamoa East would stick a little bit but not now."
Ms Woollett said her office currently had more applicants than it did rental properties.
Prime Rentals managing director Steve Warburton said good rental properties at the Mount over summer were "slim pickings".
"During the summer everyone wants to live at the Mount."
The supply and demand factor was at a good level and this was displayed by steady prices, Mr Warburton said.
He had noticed tenants had quite rigid price limitations and were unlikely to accept higher rents.
"We're finding it harder this year, letting properties, than previous years because tenants have higher expectations of what they want."

Fourth and inches. At their goal line. This could be the last play of the game and year. The season hung on the brink as the Dracut defense approached the line of scrimmage. All their hard work, practice and sweat hinged on the upcoming play of the Westford football team.
At the snap of the ball, the big Gray Ghost fullback took the handoff and started up the middle -- hoping to score the winning touchdown. But the tremendous surge by the Middies' interior linemen forced him to bounce outside. Trying to shed and shake off the arms and hands of tackles and nose guards, he was gang-tackled by a swarm of defenders -- ends, linebackers, corners and safety. The game was far from over though.
Earlier that night, a confident and determined Dracut C Football Team entered Acton-Boxboro's Leary Field knowing that only one team would advance from the upcoming three-team dogfight to the Eastern Mass. Pop Warner League playoffs. The boys in blue got lucky with the coin toss and obtained a bye in the first round as they awaited the winner of Lawrence and Westford. Three quick plays later, knew they would face off against the Gray Ghosts.
Dracut took the ball first and was unable to score from 10 yards out on their four downs. The Dracut defense then stuffed two runs before Westford's quarterback rolled out and made his way inside the one-yard line. The above mentioned goal-line stand extended the final dogfight to another overtime period.
Now it was the Middies turn again. A hard run off tackle picked up six yards after some excellent blocking by the center, guards and tackles. The Middies followed up that call with a nice outside run that led to a four-yard touchdown. Crushing blocks by Dracut's backs, wide receivers and quarterback sprung their speedy tailback into the end zone. The extra point looked good but was waived off by the referee, making the score 6-0. The Grey Ghosts would now have a chance to tie things up or win the game, but their first snap was fumbled away and recovered by the triumphant Dracut squad.
The invigorating team win and dramatic victory over a stellar opponent allows Dracut to advance in the playoffs. Next up for the 6-3 Middies were the Greater Boston League champion Cambridge Warriors.
Middies go down fighting
Outhit. Outwork. Outthink. Outhustle. These have been the adages of the 2012 Dracut C Football Team all year as they entered the Eastern Mass. Pop Warner League playoffs against a talented Cambridge Warriors squad. And though the Middies dropped a hard-fought 19-12 decision to the Greater Boston League Champs, the boys gave their all and battled to the final whistle.
Dracut took the opening kickoff and pounded their way down field behind some fierce blocking. The rotating line play of Anton Mao, Josh Hastie, Steve Lamontagne, Jacob Beaulieu, Robby Sparks, David Coombs, Dawson Coombs, Jarred Lash, Trevor Usher and Mike Pilato led to an 80-yard scoring drive. Jeremy Gray and Lincoln Lessard picked up positive yardage before Nemisis Lopez scored from 7 yards out to put the Middies up 6-0.
The Dracut defense then shut down the renowned inside running attack of Cambridge with some hard-hitting tackles by Nik Carter and Trevor Anstiss, which led to a fumble recovery by Christian Frazier as the first quarter came to a close.
The Middies then started from their own 38-yard line as Ryan Verdi picked up some yards with good blocks by Jose Torrado and Joey Petka. Two offensive series took time off the clock but Dracut was forced to punt. Cambridge had to turn to their passing game after QB sacks by Trevor Lupien and Devin Farrell put them into a third and 34 situation. The Warriors quarterback was able to avoid the relentless pursuit of William Peters and throw a game tying pass as the half ended in a 6-6 tie.
Steady defensive pressure by the Middies in the third quarter kept the game tied before a tough "five men in the backfield" infraction wiped out an outstanding Dracut punt. The penalty led to great field position as the Warriors took possession. Kevin Carney then stripped the ball out of the Cambridge runner's hands and Dracut just missed recovering the fumbled ball before the Warriors took the lead 12-6 going into the fourth quarter.
Aise Pream returned the following kickoff 32 yards from his own end zone before tying things up 12-12 for Dracut on a 33-yard touchdown run. The long and time-consuming scoring drive again featured smash-mouth football by the Dracut squad as they hammered their way past Cambridge, leaving two minutes to play in the game. The Warriors quickly responded with a go-ahead score after an electrifying down the sideline 71-yard TD return.
The Middies answered with an excellent chance to tie the game up after a great 27-yard reception by Zeke Haradji put his team at the Cambridge 18 yard line. Dracut's gallant effort came up just short as the Warriors intercepted the subsequent pass near the end zone. Though this tough loss knocks the Middies out of the playoffs, the Dracut squad had a terrific season.

TODAY- Friday, March 22, 2013 is World Water Day! This annual event is sponsored by the United Nations and is an initiative to help bring clean drinking water and sanitation to those in remote and developing parts of the world. It is also meant to advocate the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
When you woke up this morning, it is likely you went into your bathroom and triggered your faucet to stream clean and drinkable water. You may have also tweaked it a little to be at just the right temperature. This is something people do every day without truly appreciating it. The next time you go to the water source in your home, think of the millions of people who do not have this luxury. The next time you are outside miserable in the rain, think of the people in developing countries and dry climates who pray for rain. The next time you are in a long line for the bathroom, think of those who have no facilities to wait for.
In the United States, when we have issues with our water we simply call a plumber. Many may see this as an inconvenience, but can you imagine a life without clean running water in your home or even the nearby area?
Food for Thought:
-It is estimated that there are 1.58 million deaths annually from diseases caused by unclean drinking water
-One person dies about every 20 seconds from water related illnesses, the majority of these are children
-37% of the world still does not have access to sanitation facilities
-Women and children spend 40 billion hours annually collecting water in Africa alone, often subjected to unsafe areas along the way
-The UN estimates: 783 million people do not have access to clean drinking water, 2.5 billion people do not have access to proper sanitation, and 6-8 million people die annually from the consequences of disasters and water related disease
-During the next 10 years, several countries important to the United States, will experience water issues
It is important we acknowledge these issues before it is too late. In the developed world, we must adopt sustainable alternatives to products that rob our environment of their natural resources. We must also be conscious of our own water use and ecological footprint. Numerous organizations are working to install wells and other fresh water sources in developing areas. Monetary donations to these groups or even word of mouth among friends help to make these organizations successful. The question is what will you do for World Water Day?


text: Today-Saturday. Ukuleles have exploded in popularity in the past few years, as anyone watching a cutesy car insurance commercial knows. But look past the ad music and bearded hipsters in suspenders and you'll see a versatile instrument with a long history. Swallow Hill's Denver UkeFest has been intelligently feeding and capitalizing on that interest for the past seven years. Its festival features workshops for players of all levels, jam sessions and concerts celebrating the uke, including performances by the Leftover Cuties, Stuart Fuchs a.k.a. "Stukulele," Aldrine Guerrero, Star Belle and the Ooks of Hazzard. The event, which began June 5, continues through June 7 at Swallow Hill's 71 E. Yale Ave. location. $30-$115. 303-777-1003 or denverukefest.org.

Dries Mertens believes that PSV cannot afford to focus solely on Ajax in the Eredivisie title race as he feels Feyenoord are serious contenders, too.
The Eindhoven side currently hold a two-point lead over second-placed Ajax, while Feyenoord are three points off the pace, and Mertens feels all three traditional Dutch giants still have a shot at winning the domestic title.
"Ajax won an important game [against Twente] on Saturday, so they did well. Ajax are not the only contenders, though. We have to keep a close eye on Feyenoord as well," Mertens told Goal.com.
"It's crucial for us to keep on winning the next few games. We already struggled against the so-called smaller teams before, but those games are as important as the matches versus AZ, Twente and Ajax toward the end of the season."
The Belgium international also took the time to discuss the progress of promising youngsters such as Jurgen Locadia and Memphis Depay, and praised both 19-year-olds.
"They are developing really well, especially when you see how many goals they score and how important they are. Memphis' goal [against VVV at the weekend] was very important, too."
Depay netted once in PSV's 2-0 win over VVV, while Locadia scored a hat-trick in the 3-0 KNVB Beker semi-final victory versus Zwolle in midweek.

If you can't eat gluten and you're a kid, life can be tough to negotiate. No thanks to the pizza party, the birthday cake, the trades at school lunch.
But for a week, for 67 kids, there's Camp Gluten Free, about 6,000 feet up in the San Bernardino Mountains. For the most part, it's camp — arts and crafts, songs, archery and cabin life. But in the dining hall, it's another matter.
On Tuesday, the lunch menu is "bodacious burger, wacky potato wedges, fresh cantaloupe."
VIDEO: To be or not to be gluten-free
So what's so great about Camp Gluten Free?
"The fact that you don't have to ask the No. 1 question," says Megan, 11. And that is? "Is this gluten-free?"
Jadyn, also 11, says, "Not only do they serve gluten-free food, they just treat you like normal."
The girls say their friends and classmates are understanding of their diets. It's not always so easy for the boys.
"It's nice to be around other people like you and not to be discriminated against," says Connor, a 13-year-old from Fullerton. "I am discriminated against a lot at my school. They rub food in my face, saying, 'Yummmmmm.'"
But at camp, says 12-year-old Kieran, "I feel like I don't really have celiac because I don't have to ask the questions."
Outside of camp, the kids are pretty savvy. Charlie, an 11-year-old from Flagstaff, Ariz., says he has learned to ask waiters whether cooks will change gloves to make sure his food is gluten-free.
The camp is a program of the Celiac Disease Foundation, which asked that campers be identified only by first names. There's also a Camp Celiac in Northern California, and the foundation previously gave scholarships for kids to go there, but last year it decided to hold its own weeklong camp. The site, Camp Nawakwa, is rented, and most of the staff is already there.
The foundation, however, orders the food. And before the campers arrive, the kitchen staff takes on a huge task.
"I read every single label, which was a very intense job," says Joseph White II, the head cook at Camp Nawakwa. And then a six-hour "deep clean" commenced. The stove was taken apart, and every piece of equipment was sanitized at 180 degrees "to make sure the kids are safe and happy," White says.
Any food in the kitchen that didn't pass muster — gluten is found in products with wheat, barley or rye — was put into a storeroom.
Cooking for the campers without gluten takes small adjustments in timing, White says. Campers get pancakes, mac and cheese, burgers, ice cream cones, pizza, s'mores — all the usual camp food. And, White says, there are rarely leftovers.

Bounty Captain and Crew Remembered
Captain Robin Walbridge (in green sweatshirt)aboard the BOUNTY during its visit to Gloucester in September. Mr. Walbridge, who was 63 years old and captain of the Bounty for 17 years, was presumed lost when the Bounty sank during Hurricane Sandy. Also dead was crew member Claudane Christian, said to be a descendent of Fletcher Christian, leader of the famous mutiny aboard the original Bounty in April, 1789.

"Yeah, my name is Stacy and I am driving toward Ontario, when a car went off into the median at mile marker 22"...From a very credible-sounding 911 call. (2-minute audio at the link.)
Stacy is actually Melissa Farris, 35, of Caldwell, according to Caldwell Police Chief Chris Allgood. He says Farris made the call to 911, waited for paramedics to leave, then tried to slip under the closing bay door.The paramedics drove off looking for the nonexistent accident — as Farris — who, for whatever reason really wanted to get inside — lay dying under their door.
That attempt failed, and instead she got trapped and died.
Farris was a former worker at the paramedics station where she died Thursday. Her call appeared to be perfectly crafted to call paramedics away from the station.

St. John's Prep suffered its first and only loss of the season against Xaverian April 4. The No. 1 ranked Eagles did not let history repeat itself in the rematch with the Hawks on Wednesday, cruising to a 7-3 victory in Westwood.
St. John's Prep (12-1) wasted no time getting on the scoreboard. Nick Bragole drove a solo home run into the neighboring lacrosse field in the top of the first inning.
The drive gave Eagles starter Brandon Bingel a lead he would not relinquish.
The senior struck out seven over 5⅔ innings and sat the Hawks down in order on three occasions. It was a much different outing than Bingel had a week ago against BC High, where he was roughed up early.
"That was a week ago, he came out and played really well," said Eagles coach Pat Yanchus.
One of the differences between the two games in Bingel's mind was his approach early in the game.
"Against BC High, I was using the fastball a lot and they jumped on it. Today I just went out and started with the sliders early on," said Bingel.
The Eagles scored in five of seven innings.
Paul Crehan stroked a double in the third inning that drove in two runs. The Prep was able to knock Hawks starter Worth Walrod out of the game after three innings.
Xaverian (5-7) was finally able to get some runs on the board late with, according to Yanchus, Bingel "losing gas."
Jack Burke came in after Bingel's day ended and pitched 1⅓ innings of scoreless relief.
Medford 5, Malden 2 — Junior Ryan Covelle pitched a two-hitter with eight strikeouts, while senior Jake Porrazzo homered and knocked in two runs for the Mustangs (8-3).
Watertown 9, Woburn 2 — Junior T.J. Hairston threw six innings and struck out seven for his third win of the season for the Red Raiders
Marblehead 1, Revere 0 — Righthander John Cavolina picked up his third win of the season, striking out five and allowing six hits in a complete game.
Plymouth South 5, Falmouth 3 — Junior catcher Luke Dickerson had an RBI double for the Panthers.
Everett 3, Cambridge 2 — Senior Zarief Pajazetovic earned the win for the Crimson Tide (7-1), and Matt Pothier was 2 for 3 with a home run and two RBIs.
Acton-Boxborough 8, Boston Latin 5 — Joe Euele clubbed a three-run homer in the bottom of the fifth inning and Bobby Pedersen pitched 4⅓ scoreless innings of relief to pick up the win for the Colonials.
Wellesley 16, Dedham 2— Sophomore center fielder Peter Stabnick led the Raiders with three hits, three runs, and five RBIs.
Burke 21, South Boston 5 — Senior Renee Pierre continued her hot hitting by going 4 for 4 with two home runs, a triple, and four RBIs for the Bulldogs. Pierre, who is leading the Boston City League in batting, also had four strikeouts. Senior Brenda Calderon added a double and four RBIs, while senior Vanessa Anderson was 3 for 3 with a home run, triple, and two RBIs.
Lexington 4, Wakefield 2 — Maggie Oram knocked in the winning run with a single in the eighth inning to lift the Minutewomen.
Reading 5, Stoneham 2 — Sophomore Ashley Tango finished 2 for 4 with a home run and 3 RBIs for the Rockets.
Boston Latin 6, Acton-Boxborough 5 — Paige Mulry hit two home runs for the victorious Wolfpack (7-2).
Newton North 4, Braintree 1 — Senior second baseman Briget McLaughlin was perfect at the plate, going 4 for 4 with a run scored to lead the Tigers.
Cardinal Spellman 8, Bishop Fenwick 1 — Junior Courtney Zambello struck out 12 for the Cardinals.
Triton 3, Lynnfield 2 — Junior left fielder Casey Ross laced a single to right field, driving in the winning run in the bottom of the seventh for the Vikings.

Her daughter, Masey, is a sophomore guard on the girls' basketball team.For more scores and highlights, go to Boston.com/schools

Julia Holter | 01/11/12
On December 3rd, Domino will reissue Ekstasis, the second album by Julia Holter. The release, the artist's first for the label, will also mark the first time the collection of songs has been widely available in the UK since being released to phenomenal critical acclaim in North America earlier this year.
The most fully-realised glimpse of Holter's steadily-developing, beautifully singular vision so far, Ekstasis follows on from the playful searching nature of 2007's home-recorded Eating The Stars EP and 2011's underground masterpiece Tragedy.
Ekstasis is an album that reflects both the conventions of Holter's extensive classical training and natural pop flair - as carefully considered from a compositional perspective as it is immediately affecting. Belonging on the same experimental pop spectrum as artists such as Arthur Russell and Laurie Anderson but nevertheless standing alone in its thrilling vision, it is a record that seeks to transcribe all of the beautiful, sweet mysteries of life.
Ekstasis will be available on CD, vinyl and digitally. You can listen to the stunning track "Goddess Eyes II", which will be released on December 10th here:
PRE-ORDER EKSTASIS HERE. Track-listing is as follows:
1. Marienbad
2. Our Sorrows
3. In The Same Room
4. Boy In The Moon
5. Fur Felix
6. Goddess Eyes II
7. Moni Mon Ami
8. Four Gardens
9. Goddess Eyes I
10. This Is Ekstasis
The follow up to Ekstasis will be released by Domino in 2013.

RENO, Nev. (AP) -- Joseph and Joan Truxler knew they were headed for rough waters when they decided last fall that the only way to stop tourism officials from polluting Lake Tahoe with Fourth of July fireworks debris was to sue them under the Clean Water Act.
The Zephyr Cove couple says the lawsuit was a last resort because the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority wouldn't respond to concerns about the 8,000 pieces of spent fireworks they've gathered along the southeast shore.
The authority decided last week that if a settlement agreement cannot be reached by April 4, they'll cancel the event.
Joan Truxler says they never intended to stop the fireworks, only regulate them better and do a better job of cleaning up. She says she's hopeful a settlement conference in Sacramento on Monday will resolve the dispute.

She tells him it's true. "He is our son. You are Connor's father." Adam says a lot is going to change - the name, the address, maybe even the brand of diapers. He encourages Chelsea to take a lot of pictures this week - to remember her son by. Later, Leslie arrives. Adam wants her to get him full custody of his son and make sure Chelsea never sees him again.

(Neb.)-Police Arrest Three After Fatal Sidney Shooting
By: Roxie Graham-Marski Posted at: 11/05/2012 09:16 AM
SIDNEY, Neb. (AP) - Western Nebraska authorities believe two men were arguing about $160 in drug money when one man fatally shot the other early Saturday.
Police arrested Jason William Custer on suspicion of second-degree murder several hours after the shooting. Two other people were arrested for helping Custer flee Sidney to Big Springs.
The shooting happened around 12:30 a.m. Saturday. Officers found Adam McCormick lying in the driveway of a Sidney home with bullet wounds in his abdomen and leg when they arrived. He died later at a hospital.
Witnesses told police that McCormick had confronted another man about the drug money before the shooting.
Custer was arrested at a Big Springs motel shortly before 9 a.m. He remained jailed Sunday in lieu of $1 million bond.

Linux Memory Analysis
From ForensicsWiki
Revision as of 20:45, 1 April 2010 by Andrewtappert (Talk | contribs) (alphabetize list, add draugr + draugr presentation)
The Digital Forensic Research Workshop 2008 Forensics Challenge focused on the development of Linux memory analysis techniques and the fusion of evidence from memory, hard disk, and network.
Linux Memory Analysis Tools
- The Forensic Analysis Toolkit (FATKit) is a cross-platform, modular, and extensible digital investigation framework for analyzing volatile system memory. (Availability/License: research project, not available)
- Draugr is a Linux memory forensics tool written in Python. (Availability/License: GNU GPL)
- Foriana is tool for extraction of information such as the process and modules lists from a RAM image using logical relations between OS structures. (Availability/License: GNU GPL)
- Second Look from Pikewerks Corporation - This product can perform analysis of live local and remote memory sources, as well as stored snapshots of memory (physical memory images or hibernate images). It can be used to detect rootkits and other kernel-hooking malware, as well as obtain forensic information about the state of the system. It has command-line and GUI interfaces, reverse engineering capabilities (including built-in disassembly and hexadecimal data views), and the capability of modifying target memory. An online reference kernel repository provides baselines for verification of thousands of distribution stock kernels. (Availability/License: commercial)
- The Volatility Framework is a collection of tools, implemented in Python, for the extraction of digital artifacts from volatile memory (RAM) samples. (Availability/License: GNU GPL)

Hi, all.
I've decided I want to learn a web programming language. I've been reading up a bit, and PHP looks like the primary candidate. If I concentrate on version 5, is there enough commonality and backward compatibility to permit me to customise a PHP4 application we use at work, or would I be better to learn PHP4 first?
Thanks in advance

This is a great comparison of the huge differences between what Philadelphia did in 2011, and what Seattle's front office is doing in 2013. Plus, we have a legitimate defensive coordinator, and did not fire almost our entire defensive staff only to turn around and hire...an offensive coordinator? LOL.
A refresher on the Eagles debacle
" In a stunner, the Eagles name offensive line coach Juan Castillo as their defensive coordinator. Asked whether this was Castillo's job to lose, Reid says, "I would tell you yes"

New Frontiers in Cultural Imperialism
Once upon a time, in a world that seems in the distant past, Europeans believed, sometimes sincerely, that they had a duty to bring the Good News of Christianity to the unsaved and unwashed primitives of the Middle East, Asia, Africa and South America. It was self-evident that Christianity would benefit the natives— then and forever. It was the right of the savages to be saved. It was the duty of the civilized to save them.
Today, we "civilized" folks seem to be on the same mission, trying to save many of the same savages from their faiths, traditions and cultures. We are no longer pitching our holy mission as Christian, since some folks might rightly believe that this would pit Christians against Muslims. Now we have substituted "Democracy" as our product, our mission and their self-evident right.
We are no more examining this assumption than we did the Christian Evangelizing and proselytizing. Today, I watched British Prime Minister Cameron passionately testify to Parliament that the Syrian insurgents are fighting for Democracy. Such a claim stretches credulity past the breaking point. It is a material misrepresentation at best but I believe an outright lie.
Oh yes, rebels, insurgents, freedom fighters are all for Democracy when seeking aid from credulous westerners. They know our language and how to push our buttons. Only two years ago the Libyan insurgents begged for our help in overthrowing the monster that was Kaddafi. They dreamed of a free society and democratic government. Their democratic aspirations disappeared into the sand the moment Kaddafi was toppled.
Karzai and the Northern War Lords were all for a free election and the convening of a unifying Loya Jirga—a multi-tribe assembly. Deposing the Taliban brought one election, some purple fingers and a split non-democratic country at war with itself.
In Iraq, we were told that everyone wanted to get rid of the dictator Saddam Hussein and have a Democracy. Well, how did that work out? Iraq was and is in a state of civil war. Elections, fixed or fair, yield winners who rule, not govern, and losers who can choose between being oppressed or becoming rebels—pleading anew for help to create a real Democracy.
The freedom fighters in both Tunisia and Egypt promised free, secular democracies, and even if sincere, achieving power brought religious rule. And religious rule may be good and benign or evil and violent, but what it cannot be is Democratic. Religion is not very amenable to compromise or voting on important issues. In the view of fundamentalists of every faith—Muslim, Christian, Jewish or Hindu—there is no assumed division between politics and religion. Everything eventually is a religious issue relating to Divine Law.
My synagogue cannot vote to make pork kosher. Your church cannot vote to recognize only two persons in the Trinity. No assembly of Muslim scholars can vote to worship the Prophet Mohammad. They can only worship God. No faith ultimately asserts that its core doctrines are up for a vote. Therefore when dealing with nations and cultures that do not accept a division between "Church and State" our faith in Democracy is simply nonsense to them.
Our faith in Democracy is fine. I share that faith, but it should be clear that we cannot, and should not try to, assume its self-evident attraction to the rest of the world. Trying to impose our faith is arrogant, condescending and a terrible reminder of a time when it was "The White Man's Burden" to bring the true faith and real civilization to the "Great Unwashed."

Groupchat, : Components, and Event Models
By now, you should have a
- good idea of how scripts interact with Jabber and how the core
- elements such as <message/> and
- <presence/> can be constructed and handled.
This chapter builds upon what we've already seen in Chapter 8 and introduces new concepts. We build a nosy assistant that joins a conference room and alerts us to words and phrases that we want it to listen for. There are two popular conference protocols, as mentioned in Section 6.2.6 the presence-based Groupchat protocol, and the jabber:iq:conference-based Conference protocol. The assistant recipe, a foray into the world of 'bots, takes a look at the original presence-based one.
As we've seen, programming within Jabber's event model is fairly straightforward. But what happens when you want to meld other components with event models of their own? We look at a couple of typical scenarios where this melding needs to happen. The first is a homage to the Trojan Room Coffee Machine (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/coffee/coffee.html), where we give life, or at least presence, to a coffeepot, using LEGO MINDSTORMS. The second is a Tk-based RSS headline viewer. Both the coffeepot and the Tk programming library have event loops of their own. With the coffeepot, we need to have a loop that polls the coffeepot's status, independently of the polling for incoming packets from the Jabber server. The Tk programming library's event model is similar to those of the Jabber programming libraries that are used in the recipes in this book, in that handlers are set up and a loop is started that listens for UI events. In both cases, we need to get these event loops to work in harmony with the Jabber libraries' event loops.
Building Jabber solutions without event loops is a Sisyphean task. The very nature of Jabber communication is event-based, and it's important to understand how to use the event features of the Jabber programming libraries and also how to be able to mesh those features with similar features in other libraries and systems.
We also look at extending messages and build a mechanism that delivers RSS headlines to clients who register with that mechanism. These headlines are carried using an extended message type. In fact, the RSS Delivery Mechanism is a component. The three recipes in Chapter 8, were Jabber clients, in that they connected to the Jabber network via the Jabber Session Manager (JSM) service. We look at the differences between programming a client and programming a component in this chapter and build a complete component that can be queried and interacted with using the third of Jabber's building blocks the <iq/> element.
Happy coding!
Keyword Assistant
Many of the Jabber core and peripheral developers hang out in a conference room called jdev hosted by the Conferencing component on the Jabber server running at jabber.org. While a lot of useful information is to be gleaned from listening to what goes on in jdev, it isn't possible to be there all the time. Conversations in jdev are logged to web pages, which can be used to visit after the fact to try to catch up with things; however, this can be a hopeless task. One solution is to build a 'bot that looks for specific keywords and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) in the conversations in jdev and send those on as Jabber messages.
This script, keyassist, connects to a Jabber server, enters a conference room, and listens to the conversations, looking for certain words and phrases to be uttered. The keyassist script is given a bit of "intelligence" in that it can be interacted with and told, while running, to watch for (or stop watching for), certain words and phrases.
The keyassist script introduces us to programmatic interaction with the Conferencing component. Before looking at the script, however, let's have a brief overview of Conferencing in general.
The Conferencing component at jabber.org is conference.jabber.org. Details of the component instance configuration for such a Conferencing component can be found in Section 4.10, where we see that the component exists as a shared object library connected with the library load component connection method. This component provides general conferencing facilities, oriented around a conference room and conference user model.
A Jabber user can enter (or join) a conference room, thereby becoming a conference user identified by a nickname that is chosen upon entering that room. Nicknames are generally used in conference rooms to provide a modicum of privacy it is assumed that by default you don't want to let the other conference room members know your real JID.
The Conferencing component supports two protocols for user and room interaction: a simple one that provides basic features and a more complex one that provides the basic features plus facilities such as password-protected rooms and room descriptions Groupchat and Conference.
{{Note|There is a third protocol, called Experimentaliq:groupchat, which came between the Groupchat and Conference protocols. This reflected an experimental move to add features to the basic Groupchat protocol using IQ elements, the contents of which were qualified by a namespace jabber:iq:groupchat. This protocol has been dropped, and support for it exists only in certain versions of WinJab and JIM.
- Groupchat
- The Groupchat protocol is the simpler of the two and provides basic
- functions for entering and exiting conference rooms and choosing
- nicknames. : This Groupchat protocol is known as the presence-based
- protocol, because the protocol is based upon
- <presence/> elements used for room entry, exit, and
- nickname determination. The Groupchat protocol has a nominal version
- number of 1.0.
- Conference
- The Conference protocol offers more advanced features than the
- Groupchat protocol and makes use of two IQ namespaces:
- jabber:iq:conference and jabber:iq:browse. It has a
- nominal protocol version number of 1.4, which reflects the version of
- the Jabber server with which it is delivered. Sometimes this version
- number is referred to as 0.4, such as in the downloadable tarball and
- in the value returned in response to a "version query" on the
- component itself, as shown in Example 9-1. : The version number isn't
- that important. The main thing to keep in mind is that the component
- that is called conference.so (see the reference to the
- shared object library in Section 4.10.4) supports both the
- Groupchat protocol and the Conference protocol. If you come across a
- shared object library called groupchat.so, this is the
- original Conferencing component that was made available with Jabber
- server Version 1.0. This library supports only the Groupchat protocol.
Querying the Conferencing component's version
SEND: <iq type='get' to='conference.gnu.mine.nu'> <query
xmlns='jabber:iq:version'/> </iq>
RECV: <iq email@example.com/jarl' from='conference.gnu.mine.nu' type='result'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:version'> <name>conference</name> <version>0.4</version> <os>Linux 2.4.2-2</os> </query> </iq> In this recipe we'll be using the simpler Groupchat protocol. It's widely used and easy to understand. Example 9-2 shows a typical element log from Groupchat-based activity. It shows a user, with the JID email@example.com, entering a room called "cellar," hosted on the conference component at conf.merlix.dyndns.org, a room that currently has two other occupants who go by the nicknames flash and roscoe. The elements are from qmacro's perspective, and are all explained following the example.
The Groupchat protocol in action The user qmacro tries to enter the conference room with the nickname flash and fails:
SEND: <presence email@example.com/flash'/>
RECV: <presence firstname.lastname@example.com/jarltk' email@example.com/flash' type='error'> <error code='409'>Conflict</error> </presence>
He tries again, this time with a different nickname, deejay, and is successful:
SEND: <presence firstname.lastname@example.com/deejay'/>
RECV: <presence email@example.com/jarltk' email@example.com/flash'/>
RECV: <presence firstname.lastname@example.com/jarltk' firstname.lastname@example.com/roscoe'/>
RECV: <presence firstname.lastname@example.com/jarltk' firstname.lastname@example.com/deejay'/>
RECV: <message email@example.com/jarltk' type='groupchat' firstname.lastname@example.com'> deejay has become available </message>
roscoe says hi, and qmacro waves back:
RECV: <message firstname.lastname@example.com/jarltk'
firstname.lastname@example.com/roscoe' type='groupchat' cnu=>
hi </message>
SEND: <message firstname.lastname@example.com' type='groupchat'> /me waves to everyone </message>
flash sends a private message to qmacro:
RECV: <message firstname.lastname@example.com/jarltk'
email@example.com/flash' type='chat'>
Is that you, qmacro?
<thread>jarl1998911094</thread> </message>
Feeling left out of the conversation, roscoe leaves the room:
RECV: <presence firstname.lastname@example.com/jarltk'
type='unavailable' firstname.lastname@example.com/roscoe'/>
RECV: <message email@example.com/jarltk' type='groupchat' email@example.com'> roscoe has left </message> Let's take the stages in Example 9-2 one by one.
- Failed attempt to enter room
- qmacro makes an attempt to enter the room using the Groupchat
- protocol. This is done by sending a directed
- <presence/> element to a particular JID that represents
- the room and the chosen nickname. This JID is constructed as follows:
[room name]@[conference component]/[nickname]
- In this example, the conferencing component is identified with the
- hostname conf.merlix.dyndns.org. qmacro's choice of
- nickname is flash:
- Thus the following element is sent:
SEND: <presence email@example.com/flash'/>
- The conference component determines that there is already someone
- present in the room firstname.lastname@example.com with the
- nickname flash, so qmacro is notified of this and
- receives a directed presence with an <error/> tag:
RECV: <presence firstname.lastname@example.com/jarltk'
email@example.com/flash' type='error'> <error
code='409'>Conflict</error> </presence>
- Note that the <presence/> element has the type
- error and comes from the artificial JID constructed in the
- room entry attempt. The element is addressed to qmacro's real
- JID, of email@example.com/jarltk as otherwise it
- wouldn't reach him. : The error code 409 and text "Conflict" tells
- qmacro that the nickname conflicted with one already in the
- room. This is a standard error code/text pair; Table 5-3 shows a
- complete set of code/text pairs. : At this stage, qmacro is
- not yet in the room.
- Successful attempt to enter room
- qmacro tries again, this time with a different nickname,
- deejay:[1]
SEND: <presence firstname.lastname@example.com/deejay'/>
- This time, there is no conflict

With thanksgiving behind us and Christmas just around the corner, this is the busiest shopping season of the year, it is also the time where people do a lot of stealing. Retailers call it inventory shrinkage, the police call it shoplifting, but what you may not realize is the cost of shoplifting is passed on to you.
It's a problem that costs retailers billions each year. The numbers coming from this year's national retail security survey are staggering. More than $25 billion was lost because of theft last year.
That makes retail theft the biggest form of property theft in the U.S. and the holidays pose the most inviting target for thieves. And while the shoplifters get away with the goods, it's you who ends up paying the average family of 4, will pay about $440 this year in price increases caused by theft.

The Orlando Magic made the most noise before the NBA trade deadline and will get back to work on the court Friday night against the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum.
Orlando shipped guards J.J. Redick, Ish Smith and big man Gustavo Ayon to the Milwaukee Bucks for Beno Udrih, Doron Lamb and Tobias Harris, then acquired forward Hakim Warrick from the Charlotte Bobcats for center Josh McRoberts.
"This is a pressure business. It is what it is and we feel that pressure and embrace that pressure, but it's something you have to look at from the big picture to get perspective," Magic GM Rob Hennigan said. "You understand that there are decisions that you make because you believe in the process. We believe in what we're doing and the way that we make decisions and the research that we do. It���s our hope that our fans believe in that with us."
It is unknown if any of the new players will be available Friday.
The Magic have been atrocious all season as evidenced by a 15-39 record. They have dropped three straight since ending a 12-game slide with a win versus Portland on Feb. 10, and recently sustained a 111-96 setback at Dallas on Wednesday. Arron Afflalo and Maurice Harkless paced the Magic with 21 and 20 points, respectively, while Nikola Vucevic totaled 16 points and 13 rebounds.
Orlando has lost nine straight road games and is 6-20 as the guest. Guard Jameer Nelson (knee) is expected to miss Friday's game.
The Grizzlies look to extend their winning streak to six games Friday night and posted an 88-82 win over former mate Rudy Gay and the Toronto Raptors Wednesday. Gay was shipped to the Raptors almost a month ago and had 13 points against his former employer.
"They double-teamed (Gay) right from the beginning," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. "I felt sorry for him because they wouldn't allow him to get going."
Zach Randolph recorded a double-double with 17 points and 18 rebounds for Memphis. Mike Conley chipped in 17 points, six rebounds and six assists in the victory. The Grizzlies are second in the NBA in opponents scoring (90.1) and 17-0 when scoring 100-plus points.
The Grizzlies, who are 21-8 at home and have won three in a row at FedEx Forum, have held 45 of their 53 opponents under 100 points. The Grizzlies have a tough road ahead after Friday's game and will play Brooklyn, Dallas and Miami on the upcoming slate.
Memphis made a move before Thursday's trade deadline, landing center Dexter Pittman, a 2013 second-round draft pick and cash considerations from the Heat for the rights to center Ricky Sanchez. Sanchez is currently playing in Argentina and was drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers in 2005.
Memphis and Orlando are meeting for the first time since the Grizzlies recorded an 88-76 victory last April 26. The home team has won seven in a row in this series, while Orlando is winless in four straight and nine of 10 trips to the Volunteer State.

This was given to me by my father when I was young, I'd say about more than 30 years ago. My father has passed away more than 18 years ago. I'm not Jewish, I am Catholic, but I've always been curious about it. The front shows the Tree of Life in the shape of a Menorah with a Lion and the 10 commandment tablets. The back is engraved Signet House, Sterling, MAC. N.Y. I was trying to find information about on it online, but I have not been able to get any information on it. Even the name Signet House only brings up a publisher. Can anyone help me?

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Newly acquired Conor Gillaspie homered off Collin Balester in the sixth inning, helping the White Sox beat Texas 8-4 Wednesday and drop the Rangers to 0-5 in spring training.
Acquired Friday from San Francisco for minor league pitcher Jeff Soptic, Gillaspie had four RBIs Tuesday aghainst the Rangers.
Paul Konerko hit a two-run homer against left-hander Robbie Ross, and 24-year-old right-hander Simon Castro allowed one hit in three scoreless innings for the win. Chicago (3-0-2) is unbeaten through its first five exhibition games for the first time since moving spring training from Florida to Arizona for 1998.
Alexi Ogando, back in the Texas rotation this year after spending 2012 in the bullpen, was the loser. He allowed a pair of unearned runs and three hits in two innings.

On Tuesday, we theorized that the New York Jets could fit as a potential suitor if the Jacksonville Jaguars actively attempted to trade running back Maurice Jones-Drew.
Well, let's go ahead and cross Gang Green off the list. Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News has the skinny:
Jets aren't interested in trading for Maurice Jones-Drew. Price tag (players/draft picks + signing him to new deal) is prohibitive.â Manish Mehta(@MMehtaNYDN) August 22, 2012
With a dearth of options at running back and a reputation for big splashes, the Jets seemed just crazy enough to make a play here. But as it turns out, the Jets' reasons for passing likely mirror why most teams won't go near Jones-Drew.
In today's NFL, a veteran running back simply isn't worth as much as he used to be. Even one as good as MJD.
