The long-standing row between the International Cycling Union (UCI) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) took a farcical turn on Tuesday when WADA boss John Fahey denied having agreed to work with the UCI on a truth and reconciliation process.
On Monday, the UCI said it was disbanding the Independent Commission investigating the Lance Armstrong drugs scandal in favour of a truth and reconciliation commission (TRC), a move which, it said, was supported by Fahey.
The WADA president angrily begged to differ on Tuesday.
"WADA is dismayed by the press release issued by UCI yesterday, both in terms of its content and its deceit," he wrote in a statement.
"Instead of any continuing professional dialogue with WADA's president, UCI has publicly announced by way of a press statement that WADA has agreed to work with it on some form of truth and reconciliation," the statement said.
"This is not only wrong in content and process, but again deceitful. The fact is that WADA was awaiting a reply to the correspondence when the UCI release was delivered."
UCI president Pat McQuaid said in Monday's statement that WADA had "no confidence in the existing Independent Commission process".
Fahey said: "WADA has never questioned the integrity and independence of the members of the commission, but solely the ability of the commission to work properly under the contract given by UCI to the commission."
Adding to the ridicule of the situation, the UCI issued a statement responding to WADA's response to Monday's statement.
"I am very saddened that it has come to this, but I cannot allow the latest blatant and aggressive misrepresentations contained in WADA's most recent press release to go unchallenged," McQuaid was quoted as saying in Tuesday's UCI statement.
"Mr Fahey is saying one thing in public and quite the opposite in correspondence with me."
Attached to the statement was a pdf of a letter from Fahey to McQuaid emailed to the UCI president by WADA general director David Howman.
In the letter, Fahey refers to the Independent Commission as "your so-called independent commission", saying it "might not be able to continue under new terms and procedures".
"There are concerns as to the flaws, that have already been pointed out, in the way this Commission has been established and set (or was given) its terms," Fahey continued.
"The major issue is the real question of independence, both real and perceived. This panel may have set its terms, but did not have the independence to change them when its own lawyers advised it to do so.
"I think it is already too compromised to remain credible and believe the process should start over from a new beginning.
"I appreciate that this may involve some extra expense, but the existing Commission can be requested to provide any information in its possession to the new Commission."
Two weeks ago, Fahey had accused the UCI of setting up a "useless" independent commission, while cycling's governing body was at the time ruling out the possibility of a truth and reconciliation process.
WADA and the UCI had already fallen out in 2006 over the UCI-commissioned Vrijman report that cleared Armstrong of any wrongdoing after sports daily L'Equipe had revealed that samples from the American from the 1999 Tour de France showed traces of EPO.
Armstrong was banned for life and lost his seven Tour titles last October after a report by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) showed the Texan had set up a sophisticated doping programme.
After more than a decade of denials, Armstrong admitted this month that most of his career had been built on a lie.
The Independent Commission expressed its regret after being disbanded by the UCI.
"The commission remains concerned as to WADA's and the UCI's ability to agree the scope, timing and structure of the TRC and also whether the T&R process is sufficiently advanced to justify the UCI's termination of this inquiry," it said in a statement.
"Neither the UCI nor interested stakeholders have provided sufficient co-operation to enable the commission to do its job. This failure to cooperate makes our task impossible."

Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jamie Redknapp, Graeme Souness on 10 talking points
Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jamie Redknapp and Graeme Souness review 2013/14's big issues.
Last Updated: 12/05/14 6:27pm
So we gathered four of our top names - Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jamie Redknapp and Graeme Souness - together to reflect on the major talking points from the 2013/14 campaign.
They discussed Manchester City's jubilation, Liverpool's heartache, Manchester United's turmoil and the fine work of Roberto Martinez and Tony Pulis amongst other things on our 'End of Season Special'.
Read on for the experts' take on 10 of the major talking points of the Premier League season.
Are champions Manchester City the best team in the Premier League?
NEVILLE: They have the best squad and the best spine. You look at Toure, Kompany, Aguero and Dzeko - plus the depth they've got up front. I think of the power in the team and I always think title-winning teams have that power. That power saw them home and they got their best players on the pitch by the end. Manchester City would have won the title by a lot more points had Silva, Aguero, Toure and Kompany played together a lot more often.
CARRAGHER: They've won the league, so no matter what you think of the squad, the team, the money they've spent or Manuel Pellegrini they've had a great season. But in terms of jobs done in the Premier League you could probably look at Brendan Rodgers and Tony Pulis and maybe they may just come above what Pellegrini has done this year.
REDKNAPP: If they'd not won the title you'd have to be pretty critical of Pellegrini, but the facts were they won the league and the Capital One Cup and he's answered a lot of the questions. They've got the best squad and at the start of the year we all expected them to do it, but they made it difficult for themselves at times. They lost at Anfield, drew at home to Sunderland and I couldn't see them doing it, but you have to credit any team that wins the title.
SOUNESS: The foundations are there for Man City to be a dominant force in our football for a number of years. As long as these people in the Middle East are interested that club is going to keep going forward. The challenge is European football for them.
Was it ultimately a season of failure for Liverpool?
NEVILLE: If you'd said at the start of the season that Liverpool would be challenging for the title with a week to go, I'd have said there's absolutely no chance. Measuring it against that it's been an absolutely fantastic season. However, if you're talking about where they were two or three weeks ago there is no-one at Liverpool, I'm sure, in that dressing room feeling fantastic. They will feel disappointed and will feel "what might have been".
SOUNESS: It's screaming at you, what they need to do. You can't concede 50 goals in the Premier League and expect to win it. The reliance on the strikers to go out every week and score three or four goals because you're letting them in at the other end is too much. If anything had happened to Luis Suarez where would Liverpool be? They certainly wouldn't be in the Champions League because of the way they defended at times.
REDKNAPP: I'm of the other opinion. They play such an attacking style of football and the two full-backs push on so much that there are going to be consequences. You are going to leave yourself open at the back. When they were winning 12 on the spin no-one was complaining about the defending then. We were saying how good they were and what a breath of fresh air it was.
CARRAGHER: They need two or three players to go into the team, not into the squad. They need two defenders and another midfield player. They've got to get two defenders, proper defenders. We hear a lot in the modern game about ball-playing defenders and attacking full-backs and Liverpool have got that in the squad. Now they need a couple of defenders who just want to defend. If they get that they could go again.
Should Chelsea have won the Premier League?
SOUNESS: I didn't really believe Jose Mourinho when he said they had no chance at all this year. He would have felt prior to the Aston Villa game when they went there and lost that they were right in the mix. You look at the games they lost - Sunderland at home, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace - and you could see flimsy teams going into those games and coming unstuck, but not Chelsea under Jose Mourinho because they are a really solid outfit. If Wayne Rooney had gone there at the start of the season I think we'd be talking about Chelsea winning it. I think they were that close.
CARRAGHER: I think there are regrets for a couple of teams. It was in Chelsea's hands, really, and you think of the stupid games that they slipped up in. The best team wins the league after 38 games, we all know that and it's Manchester City and credit to them, but you have to look at the position Chelsea found themselves in. City are still worthy champions - they scored over 100 goals - but there will be regrets from Chelsea, Liverpool and maybe even Arsenal as well.
Were Arsenal ever realistic title contenders?
NEVILLE: I don't think anybody thought, apart from maybe Arsene Wenger and a few of his players in January or February when they were top, that they could win the league. We kept saying each week that they keep answering questions and keep proving us wrong but eventually you always felt [they lacked] the tenacity, the determination, power and drive you really need to get through the Champions League knock-out stage and big title games. They fell apart in March in a period of about two or three weeks. You just knew when that period came they wouldn't have enough to get through it.
SOUNESS: He needs a different type of midfield player. For me, they're too samey in midfield. I think they are very close. They need to go and buy an out-and-out striker that would get them 25 or 30 goals a year, which would cost big money, and a different type of midfield player. Arsenal are too easy to play against. You can't win a league losing 6-0, as they did at Chelsea, and 5-1 as they did at Liverpool.
REDKNAPP: Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey were big losses in January. When they knew Walcott was going to be out for six months the transfer window was still open. That was maybe the time to go and get somebody to replace him. I think Arsenal will come again next year, but they do need that sensational striker - and there's not that many in the market.
Has Roberto Martinez improved David Moyes' Everton team?
CARRAGHER: David Moyes laid the foundations and that shouldn't be forgotten. But let's not forget what Roberto Martinez did. He didn't just build on the foundations, he changed the way they played. They were a very difficult team to beat and were very organised but he got them playing a style of football I didn't think they were capable of. I didn't think they had the players there and the way he set them up is a credit to Roberto Martinez. He has taken them to another level.
REDKNAPP: What I like most about him is the way he improves players. If you look at the two full-backs, Baines and Coleman, they are absolutely fantastic. A lot of clubs, if they lose their captain, they panic. Phil Jagielka gets injured and what do they do? No pressure, bring in John Stones at 19 years of age, plays him at centre-back and he looks an absolute world-beater. That is what you want in a manager.
SOUNESS: He inherited a very solid group of players and gave them a bit of belief that they can play this way. Under David Moyes they were very effective, maybe more direct, and Martinez has said 'I trust you, I know you can do this' - and they are a good watch now.
Who's to blame for the problems at Tottenham?
SOUNESS: Tottenham spent over £100m last year and they had a manager in place who they quickly got rid of and then got another manager promoted from within the club and it looks like he's going as well. I never see any criticism directed at the person responsible for bringing all the players in.
REDKNAPP: They've got to get their recruitment right. For the last seven or eight years they've sold their best players - Modric, Bale, Berbatov, Carrick - every time they get a good player they sell them. Then they bring in a group of players and it's very difficult to bed in five or six players. It hasn't worked this season. What they must do is get in one or two to make that difference.
NEVILLE: Whoever picks up Tottenham will benefit from what's happened this year in the sense that the £100million of players will have settled down and have had a year to bed in. Two or three of them are decent players and they will get better. Whoever picks them up will be in a better position next season.
Is this a blip or a terminal decline for Manchester United?
NEVILLE: It's been a shocking season from where they've been, challenging for championships year in and year out. I thought at the start of the season that a change of manager would bring some turbulence, but because of the stability they've had that they would have it in them to be able to compete for another championship. What's happened is they have not been able to cope without Sir Alex Ferguson. It doesn't sit well with me that Manchester United have sacked a manager after 10 months, at all. There's not much you can take out of this season.
REDKNAPP: I think you want to follow the man that follows the man. Having had 27 years of continuity and running the club with an iron fist it was going to be difficult for David Moyes, but not to the extent where they were losing so many home games. The style of football wasn't anywhere near what we've seen. It was an amazing transformation of a football club and they've got to get going quickly because football doesn't stand still.
SOUNESS: It's not a quick fix. From where Man United were to where they are now, the strength is nowhere near where they would want it to be. You put Man United in that elite group of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, but how many Man United players in the current squad would be wanted by any of those teams? I can think of two - and beyond that you're struggling. I don't see it as a quick fix.
Has anyone done a better job than Tony Pulis has at Crystal Palace?
REDKNAPP: Probably not, but it didn't surprise me to be honest. I've known Tony since I was 14 years of age and his attention to details was even there as a player at Bournemouth. He was such a fit player and then he went to Stoke and got them organised defensively. That's what they needed. The key to his success at Palace is the structure and how he got them organised defensively with two banks of four working extremely hard. I bet the players there cannot wait for their summer. They deserve their summer because he would have drilled them every day; it would have been non-stop!
NEVILLE: It's a magnificent performance. Watching them in the early parts of the season I thought they had absolutely no chance. They could have brought in any manager in the world and I wouldn't have thought it would have got them out of trouble for the lack of quality they had. It's an absolutely brilliant performance from Tony Pulis.
Was Sunderland's "great escape" simply covering over the cracks?
REDKNAPP: When they lost 5-1 at Tottenham I think we wrote them off then. I think even Gus Poyet did, saying " we need a miracle now". I don't think there was a great deal of hope when he did his press conference after that game so it's absolutely incredible. At Christmas we expected Crystal Palace and Sunderland to go down, but that's why it's almost impossible to make predictions with relegation. You only need to win back-to-back games and everything changes.
NEVILLE: Has Gus Poyet really worked because they won three or four games at the end? He has put a great end of season together, but if you'd said at the start of the season that Sunderland would finish 14th, that's where they should be finishing. He's only achieved what they should have done - and got there in a more dramatic fashion, but I wouldn't say it's a wonderful and magnificent job.
Did Cardiff and Fulham prove the folly of managerial changes?
NEVILLE: The foreign owner is searching for a wonderful brand of football and this great club that can compete with Man United, Man City and Chelsea when what they really should be looking for is a manager who is experienced enough to get them around the block and keep them in the league. It would seem they are taking big chances during the season and it's not paying off - and that's a good thing in some ways. We want to see new managers come into the league, but we also want to see continuity. The way managers get chucked overboard after 70 days, six months or eight months is ridiculous. I'm glad this season it hasn't been rewarded.
CARRAGHER: A lot of the time the manager who gets sacked is the one bringing the team up. You think you'd get longer in the job if you actually missed out and get to have another go at coming up through the Championship. What do the owners expect, especially when a team comes up?
SOUNESS: It amazes me. Look at two of the three teams that went down - Fulham and Cardiff. They employ foreign managers coming into our game - and Pepe Mel has to be factored into this argument because he played 17 games and won three of them. When you buy a foreign player you accept there will be a period of time he will need to adjust to our game and the same must apply to managers coming in. If you look at the margins they are dealing with, where teams are getting relegated by three points you could lose those points in the first weeks you're at the club. There's plenty good young British managers out there, so go down the road Crystal Palace went down; someone tried and tested who gives you a real chance of surviving.

DURHAM — Replacing the artificial turf on the University of New Hampshire's Memorial Field with the type of turf used across the street at Cowell Stadium would be an unacceptable option for the UNH field hockey team, according to coach Robin Balducci.
"It would be like the (UNH) hockey team playing on a pond," Balducci said, "versus the rink that's maintained. What we have now is a nice, smooth surface. Playing on (another type of surface) would be like playing hockey with snow on the rink."
The university is scheduled to replace the turf on Memorial Field, which is also home to the UNH women's lacrosse team, before the end of the current lacrosse season. Balducci said surfaces that employ shorter blades of artificial grass, as opposed to the longer blades used on the UNH football field, is used at the highest levels of collegiate field hockey.
"It's tops in the game," she said. "In terms of quality and wear and tear, when you water it, it's as good as any surface."
The field was closed last October because of elevated lead levels detected in dust samples. The field had been scheduled to be replaced within the next two years and will cost about $850,000, according to UNH athletic director Marty Scarano.
"Memorial Field is a historic site for women's athletics," Scarano said. "We're challenged for venues, but that's a great venue."
Most of the field hockey played locally on the high-school level is on grass, but Balducci said all of UNH's opponents in the America East conference play on the type of turf currently used at Memorial Field. Also, the NCAA tournaments are played exclusively on the same type of surface. The surface is required to be watered down before every game in order to ensure the ball does not bounce erratically.
"In my first year coaching (1991), we came in first in our conference and couldn't host because we had grass," Balducci said. "In the 1990s, everybody put in turf. There were only a handful of grass fields, and UNH was one of them."
The current artificial turf field was installed in 2002. The women's lacrosse team will play its April 17 game vs. Boston University at Cowell Stadium.

WOODSTOCK – Dorr Township officials will move into their new 10,800-square-foot town hall Monday.
This week, boxes and papers are strewn around the 1,600-square-foot facility that the township has called home for 35 years. Its fate is sealed – changing hands to the lone bidder once paperwork is finalized this month.
The township's new building, 1039 Lake Ave., Woodstock, is undergoing final touches this week after construction crews gutted and rebuilt the facility to accommodate its multiple uses.
The new town hall has a boardroom, community room and meeting space for needs-based assistance programs. It also will house the Woodstock Food Pantry, which now resides in a cramped space at 226 Washington St.
Township Supervisor Bob Pierce said it will take time to make the switch, and he's asking for patience from the community. The phone line will switch over Monday, but there could be a delay at some point, he said.
"We'll be able to do some things, but until the computers
get hooked up and everything, [there] will be a delay," Pierce said.
The food pantry will move in another week, Pierce said. The pantry has needed more space since the recession heightened needs in the area.
Dorr Township bought the new building for $525,000 in March.
The original construction contract called for $850,000 in remodeling, but Pierce said the project is coming in below budget.
The old building was appraised at $180,000. The township board accepted the lone bid of $183,000. The buyer's identity will not be made public until the sale is finalized.

64 cpu's. That seems supercomputerish enough for me.
It depends. For those problems that fit within the PS3's cramped memory, this is a supercomputer. For those problems that don't, this is a set of 8 matching doorstops.
I'm pretty sure we devalued super when the PowerMac G4 [youtube.com] was claimed as a supercomputer all by its lonesome.I think we are de-valuing the meaning of the word 'super'
Super is a relative term, what was a super computer is now a computer that I hand-me-downed to my mom so she could check her email and browse the web.
Well the guy used to use a 200-node parallel supercomputer, but now he prefers to use 8 PS3s. That to me proves that 8 PS3s is like a supercomputer TO HIM.
I'm sure there are faster setups available if had the money, but 100% of 8 PS3s indefinitely is preferable, from what he says, to the costly little slices of "real" supercomputers he tried to rent before.
I wonder if Sony could offer a "HPC PSP3" which provided a stripped down processor board without the shiny case, graphics memory etc. It would be interesting if the Cell processor could get better economies of scale.
Wouldn't it rather be IBM that might offer this, since they actually make the cell?
Yes, actually I think you are correct. If I recall correctly it's Sony, IBM and Toshiba in the cell consortium, and the most ovious vendor of a "compute-node Cell module" would indeed be IBM, not Sony, good point.
By the way, I had a typo, it would not be an "HPC PSP3" of course, the Cell is way too hot and power hungry! Although
You mean like this?
Thought I replied to this, but can't see it.
Anyway, yes, that's jus the ticket, except it's $19k!!
All of a sudden racking up actual Sony PS3s with their curved shiny cases, graphics chip etc seems eminently sensible
Since some 'super' computers of ages past have less power than some modern desktops, I think that the first is more likely if you scale the threshold of a 'super' computer, e.g. the fastest 1-2% of computers out there. More generally, I think that most people conveice of a super computer being any computer system that can perform tasks that would take an unreasonable amount of time on a single, off-the-shelf machine.
256k of local storage for each SPE is a problem, but you can code around it. (It's not trivial, but it can be done.) You can't code around having a small amount of RAM and still maintain high performance.
Let me see if I get this straight, you can imagine a piece of code that doesn't mind churning on itself within 256KB, but you can't imagine having to keep 256MB of main memory fed from a network or disk? In my experience, any piece of code that can both benefit from extreme parallelism and fit both the code and enough data to be worth working on within 256KB can handle a few reads from a disk or the network once in a while. If it can't, then 256KB of memory isn't enough to keep the (sub)processor fed, and you need a machine with more on-die memory (many of which can be found).
Cell is very good at integers and single precision floats for workloads that are parallelizable and fit within 256KB. If you stray from any of that, there are plenty of interesting competitors.
You can't code around having a small amount of RAM and still maintain high performance.
I wouldn't agree with that. That's only true if the algorithm relies on access to the entire data set because it requires random access or multiple table scans. Lots of algorithms can operate on small independant chunks or can be rewritten to use sequential data access, which is chunk friendly. I think it's apparent his algorithm works on small chunks due to the relatively small amount of RAM, unless his entire data set
...Slashdot is where i go for excellent commentary
but I really wonder now what is defining 'Supercomputer'... I mean, a hundred PS3s sure, but 8? I think we are de-valuing the meaning of the word 'super'
Well, I don't know what qualifies as a supercomputer nowadays
But, to some of us, any computer made in the last decade at one point would have qualified as a supercomputer. I seem to recall any machine which had > 1GHz of CPU speed used to be classified as munitions grade equipment and illegal for export. Something to do with being able to design
I wonder if the US governments' restrictions on exporting super computers covers game consoles as well. If it does the Xbox 360 is most certainly restricted.
(not that it is really a super computer, but if you have ever had to deal with said restrictions you know that 10 year old desktops are considered supercomputers by the US gov)
Since nobody is actually playing games on the system..
Nope. It is far too unaerodynamic to reach such speeds without a prohibitive amount of initial energy. Certainly not unassisted.
Is it more powerful than a locomotive?
While it concumes about the same amount of raw fuel, it produces far too little in the way of mechanical enregy to pull even a single model RR caboose. Amtrak found this out to their chagrin.
Is it able to leap tall buildings with a single bound?
While it does acheive a much heralded TeraFLOP, it turns out that that word does not actually mean "hitting the Earth" as a casual guess at its derivation might assume. So, in a nutshell, no jumping, buildings or otherwise, without significant assistance.
Finally, does it fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way?
The ultimate in guileless parroting, it will simply display whatever it is told, and will never consider the veracity of the content before micrying it. Justice is a bit trickier in that there is little about Justice that is agreed upon. Once GTA IV comes out however, there will no longer be any support for the notion of it supporting even justice with a little "j." As for the American Way... Well it does favor style over substance with an arrogant belief taht it will be Bought because it is Made. Which is about as close to the American Way these days as anything else. call it one out of three.
So, no, I would have to say that it would not qualify, in any quantity, as a "Super-Computer."
Air is water with holes in it.

Dell Does Better Than Expected
Despite the downward trend for the PC marketplace there were some positives. IDC pointed out that Dell saw quarter-to-quarter growth over the last year. That's welcome news to Dell, which has been distracted by uncertainty surrounding its restructuring. IDC chalked it up to a possible indication of "stronger performance in coming quarters and reflecting more commercial replacements as we get closer to the end of Windows XP support."
Gartner didn't so much give Dell a reason to cheer but perhaps a reason not to hang its head too low when it reported: "Dell's shipments declined compared to a year ago, but its 2Q13 results showed a smaller decline than the past several quarters."
Dell shipped 4.2 percent less PC this quarter compared to the same time last year, according to IDC. Gartner reported 3.9 percent drop in PC shipped for the same time period.

Knox earns 1st win with 41-0 rout of LaVille
KNOX — Knox got its first win of the year in dominating fashion by defeating LaVille 41-0 at home Friday night.
Not only did the Redskins shut out the visitors, but they held the Lancer offense to 92 total yards. It was the kind of win that head coach Chris McGowen had been waiting for.
"We finally came out and played the way we are capable of playing," he said. "It helps when you have everyone who is supposed to be there there. First week all year where we had all 11 starters on offense and all 11 starters on defense."
Nevin Miller had an efficient night at quarterback going 8 of 14 for 106 yards and two touchdowns — one to Caleb Hieneman in the first quarter and one to newly converted tight end Dylan Short with a 1:53 left in the half.
Michael Sustaita and Jordan Beem both added touchdown runs in the second quarter to put Knox up 28-0 at the half, and the Redskins would never look back. Beem added another score on the ground in the third, while Garrett Majchrzak scored on a 44-yard scamper for the final touchdown of the night.
LaVille coach Mark Reddy was disappointed in his team's effort as his team fought an uphill battle all game and could never match the physicality displayed by the Redskins.
"I felt like the first time this season that my team quit," he said. "We got out-hit. We got out-executed. They were a physical team, and we didn't respond to it. My whole goal every week is for us to get better, even if it does not reflect on the scoreboard. And tonight, we did not get better."
The Lancers are still looking for their first Northern State Conference win as they play host to Bremen next week. Knox will be hosting the Culver Cavaliers as they look to move to .500 in conference play.

#21 Oct 19, 2010
Note that "Republicat" is a Republican in Democrat's clothing.
In his run for Mayor in the primaries, he campaigned JUST LIKE A REPUBLICRAN... totally disrespecting the voters' intelligence and basing his entire run for office, on negative attacks against his opponent, rather than his own plans and prior accomplishments. Many voters either like being disrespected, or tolerate it; but I am not one of them. To his credit however, I don't recall him running such a nastily-negative campaign since that loss. But he clearly broke my trust. The only reason I vote for him, is the fact that his party affiliations, may help straighten him out. His character seems week, and chameleons tend to absorb more of the characteristics of those who surround them.

Yost lies, decieves and abuses the authority of his office any way he can and cannot be trusted to be honest, fair, ethical, or uphold the professional responsibilities of an attorney. Yost is unfit for any public service job or elected position.

Republican Ticket-Split
Yost Attacks Pepper for Project Pushed by Portman, DeWine
Ad Blames Pepper for Project Planned, Funded While Pepper in Law School;
Groundbreaking Occurred While Pepper was a Law Clerk
Cincinnati, OH -- October 19, 2010)-- Yesterday, Republican candidate for Auditor Dave Yost topped even his prior strange and discredited claims. He launched an ad in Cincinnati that blamed Pepper for a transit center in downtown Cincinnati that was designed, approved, funded and largely completed beforePepper ever entered public office.
In fact, Pepper was still in law school when most of the planning work was done on the project. The formal groundbreaking occurred when he was still a law clerk (1999). And the project was near completion when he arrived at City Council in December 2001.
Ironically, while Pepper was not involved in the projects planning or implementation, two prime supporters of the project are currently on the ticket with Dave Yost. Both Rob Portman, as Congressman, and Mike DeWine, as Senator, advocated for the project to receive federal funding, and spoke at the dedication of the project in 2002.(See below photos)
At the dedication ceremony, then-Senator DeWine said: "This is an integral part of making the new riverfront work." Enquirer, July 4, 2009.
With a record of more than doubling spending in just seven years, its no wonder Yost is desperately attacking Pepper with strange, flatly false attacks, said Anne Sesler of the Pepper campaign. "Yost should raise his concerns with candidates Portman and DeWine, rather than blaming Pepper for a project that took place before he entered public office.

South Dakota Has First West Nile Virus Death of the Year
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota has its first West Nile virus death of the year.
The state Health Department says the Turner County resident was between 70 and 79 years old. Officials did not identify the person, citing patient confidentiality.
South Dakota has had 52 confirmed human cases of West Nile so far this year. Since 2002 the state has reported more than 2,000 cases, with 30 deaths, including three last year and the one this year.
State Epidemiologist Lon Kightlinger says people should protect themselves from virus-carrying mosquitoes through measures such as using insect repellents and eliminating standing water where the bugs can breed.

As the 2012 Super Chevy Show series rolled into St. Louis, it was hard to believe in the show's 30-plus year history we'd never stopped there before. While walking around the show, we were taken aback by the quality and performance of the cars in the field. As our ever-observant tech editor Calin Head put it, "There were just way too many 10-second show cars to believe. The guys in St. Louis like their cars quick and clean!"
From the stock muscle cars (including two '69 Yenko Camaros) to full modifieds, the variety in St. Louis was top notch, along with a lot of the stories proud owners were sharing with us. Between the registered show cars and Bow Tie Boulevard (non-judged) entries, there were some 500 pristine Bow Ties assembled in the center of the oval. There was also nearly 400 more racing in the quarter-mile.
Gateway management pulled out all stops for the inaugural event. There were free laps on the oval racetrack for the car show participants after 5 p.m. on Saturday and over one hundred entrants took advantage of this exciting opportunity. Also, Chevrolet Performance was giving out free T-shirts at its booth and you could drive any number of new Chevys on a coned-off portion of the track on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There were Corvettes, Camaros, small-cars, and trucks to sample. We wish there was enough space to show all of them in the pages of this issue, but if you head over to superchevy.com, we've got a gallery with most of them posted to the website.

CHAMPs > Parkinson's CHAMP
August 2012 - Team Frey
The year 1988 will be a time our family remembers forever. Chester Frey, a husband, dad & grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
A brave and courageous man, he has accepted Parkinson's disease and has a renewed faith that God is in control. PapPap's amazing sense of humor exemplifies who he is as a person. If you ask him about his family he will be quick to tell you that, "he is the master of his empire."
Twenty four years later you will find him not dwelling on his inabilities to do things for himself, but appreciates all the love, help and support he receives from his loving wife and family.
He enjoys family get togethers, playing cards, sporting events and eating. He is an amazing man and "our hero."
To help make a difference, our family has been able to be a part of the Parkinson's Unity Walk held in Central Park, New York for the last four years. A highlight of the Walk was when PapPap was able to stand up from his wheelchair and walk across the finish line. Exhausted but overjoyed, he experienced a huge accomplishment that was shared by our family.
No one on this earth knows what the future holds, but our hope as a family with a loved one battling Parkinson's disease is that a cure will be found. Until then we will continue to give back to our PapPap the love and support he needs because of the "unconditional love" and "unbreakable bond" we have as a family.
We'll be back at the Unity Walk in 2013!
Team Frey

Enter a world of non-stop dance, the daring artists who dedicate their lives to it and an extraordinary place where it flourishes. Filmed at Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in Becket, Massachusetts, "Never Stand Still" features thrilling performances and revelatory conversations with renowned choreographers and dancers, including Judith Jamison, Paul Taylor, Mark Morris, Suzanne Farrell and Frederic Franklin, and one of the last interviews with the iconic Merce Cunningham. At the same time, it chronicles the remarkable story of how an abandoned Berkshires farm evolved into a mecca for dance. Narrated by acclaimed choreographer Bill T. Jones, the film interweaves the story of Jacob's Pillow as a generator for creativity with the history of dance in America, featuring never-before-seen footage and images from the Pillow's rare and extensive archives, including the pioneering Ted Shawn, who purchased Jacob's Pillow in 1931.
"Dancing at Jacob's Pillow: Never Stand Still" on Great Performances airs on Friday, July 26th at 9:00 p.m.

dd is a Unix command line utility for copying data. ddpt adds features for efficiently copying large amounts of data to and from disks. Apart from accessing disks using traditional Unix read() and write() calls, ddpt can optionally use SCSI pass-through interfaces to send SCSI commands to perform a copy. In Linux, the pass-through can be used to send TRIM commands to SSDs. It is written for Linux with ports to FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows.
MammothCopy is a simple, Java-based tool to copy large or many files from one computer on the Internet directly to another. This is also possible with tools like WinSCP and an SSH server, but those are too complex for normal users. MammothCopy is geared towards parents wanting to send photos to their kids, or professionals who want to transfer huge files (only limited to the receiving end's hard disk space).
copymon provides file copying processes with a progress bar. Neither cp nor rsync provide means to monitor the copying process, nor a progress bar. copymon is a wrapper which performs a scan of the directory to be copied and collects information about the files to be copied. After that, it spawns the actual copying program (which can be cp, rsync, or tar) and monitors its progress. copymon can be easily enhanced to support more programs and can be extended to provided different types of progress bars.

Sony PRS-505 Reader e-book
More popular than the Celestial Home Care Omnibus, better selling than 53 More Things to do in Zero Gravity
Music played by the Reader doesn't sound at all bad, and you can read a book and listen to music at the same time. We found listening to Beethoven's Op. 131 string quartet while reading Conrad's Heart of Darkness at 41,000 ft on a Boeing 777 a most improving experience.
So long as you don't mind your pictures coming out in shades of grey, the Reader also supports static images in JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP formats.
More controls than you can... well... throw a book at
At £199 and in the absence of anything to directly compare it with, the Reader is probably best described as reasonable value for money. Initial shipments of the Reader come with a CD with 100 out-of-copyright classics, including Beowulf – dust down those Ray Winstone accents - Thomas Paine's Common Sense and various works by Dickens, Poe, Tolstoy and the rest of the guys in the band.
Checking the small print, we noticed that the disc is will only come with Readers "while stocks last". Bearing in mind the cost of making a CD these days we can't see why Sony simply can't continue to stick the disc in every Reader box they ship from now until doomsday, but consider yourself warned. Of course, to a large extent the Reader's success will depend on the availability and cost of content.
At the time of going to press, there are nearly 6000 eBooks available from Sony's bookselling partner, Waterstones, of varying quality and price. But you can also get literally stacks of free out-of-copyright books – including the majority of the ones on the CD - from sites such as Feedbooks, which is where we snagged George Orwell's 1984 and HG Wells' War of the Worlds.
The short of it is, the more you like your classics, the more you will get out of the Reader and the less you will have to pay for the privilege.
So is this the biggest thing to hit the written word since some Egyptian decided to stop trying to hack the weekly shopping list into a block of granite and invent papyrus? Probably not, but while not perfect it is a nicely presented and reasonably usable device, and the ability to stuff a couple of hundred novels into the same physical space as one thin paperback is self recommending, especially for regular travellers. After only a week with ours, we are going to miss it when it goes back.

Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed issued the following statement:
"Gun violence in and around our schools is simply unconscionable and must end. Too many young people are being harmed, and too many families are suffering from unimaginable and unnecessary grief. I pray that the student who was shot today at Price Middle School in southwest Atlanta recovers quickly and can return home to family and friends. A suspect has been taken into custody. I would also like the students, faculty and families of the Price Middle School community to know that they have the full support of the City of Atlanta as they heal from today's terrible incident. The city's Employee Assistance Program counselors are already at the school providing guidance for students, faculty and family members."

Several large foreign automakers said they expect U.S. auto sales in 2013 will top 15.1 million vehicles, but one warned the summer buying season may be "bloody" as brands fight for sales and hit the gas on incentives.
Hyundai Motor America's executive vice president of sales Dave Zuchowski says he expects sales will end at 15.1 million to 15.2 million.
"Profitability from the dealer perspective, from the (automaker) perspective, from the supplier perspective may be squeezed just because of this intensified level of competition," Zuchowski said at a panel discussion of the American International Automobile Dealers Association meeting on Wednesday ahead of a lobbying day by dealers on Capitol Hill. "Summer's going to be bloody. Everybody's got inventory... I think it's going to be very, very competitive."
U.S. auto sales were up 13 percent to 14.5 million in 2012, a five-year-high. Auto sales are up 6.9 percent in the first four months of the year, including 8.5 percent in May.
Bill Fay, group vice president and general manager at Toyota Motor Sales USA, said he expects industry auto sales will end the year at around 15.3 million vehicles sold -- about the rate it has been for the first four months of the year. Toyota is introducing several new models in the second half of the year.
"It should be another year of good sustainable growth in the industry," Fay said at the panel.
Kia Motors America executive vice president for sales Tom Loveless agreed that industry sales would end around 15.3 million. "I think it will be a hard-fought 15.3 -- I think it will be extremely competitive," Loveless said at the same discussion. "I think we will have incentives higher than any of us would like them to be. I think we'll have marketing expenditures higher than any of us would like them to be but in the end I think it will come down to value more than anything."
Kia has revised up its forecast for 2013 auto sales as many automakers have, feeling more bullish now that five months ago.
Mercedes-Benz USA vice president for marketing Bernie Glaser said the German automaker will set another record for sales as it rolls out new models including a new S-Class this year. He expects a double-digit increase in sales in 2013 after setting a a record last year for U.S. sales. "We have every intention of being No. 1 again," Glaser said, noting it has been the best-selling U.S. luxury brand in the first four months of the year, holding onto its crown from 2012.
Glaser said Mercedes-Benz, the Daimler AG unit, is mounting "the biggest product offensive in its history" with 30 new models over the next seven years -- including 11 all-new cars and in new segments. "If you average it out, every three months we are launching a new product," Glaser said. "The pace is incredible."
Several forecasters are predicting May auto sales will be at an annual selling rate of 15.2 million vehicles, including Truecar.com and LMC Automotive. U.S. automakers are cutting summer shutdowns and adding production, especially pickup trucks.

Class was in session Sunday night at Lupo's as theCarolina Chocolate Drops provided a crash course in traditional African American music.

One of the most inspiring things I've encountered in Providence is the 24 Hour Music Project.

Legendary Detroit Motown band, the Temptations stopped by Cranston's Park Theatre in December, bringing with them their classics.
Music critic Ken Abrams was front and center for this once-in-a-lifetime R&B experience:
A warm welcome greeted The Temptations Sunday night in Cranston as the Park Theatre hosted a sold out show by the legendary Detroit band. The award winning R&B group thrilled those in attendance with classic hits along with some new songs. Read More
6. Chris Cornell
Legendary Seattle grunge rocker Chris Cornell is known for rocking hard with Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave, and Pearl Jam; but when he came into Providence in November, he left the wires behind for an acoustic show on the newly-renovated stage at The Vets:
Normally, one would think of Chris Cornell as the vocalist who can peel the paint off walls with Seattle legends Soundgarden, but recently he's been doing a solo acoustic tour that's been getting a lot of attention. This past Tuesday he made a stop at The Veterans Memorial Auditorium for an experience that exuded soothing songs that hit straight to the heart. Bhi Bhiman opened things up as well, it was going to a memorable evening. Chris Cornell at his genuine best, what more could you ask for? Read More
5. B.B. King
What could be better than a warm summer night in Newport? How about when you are there to see THE name in Blues, BB King? Well, GoLocal Music criticRob Duguay was lucky enough to be in attendance for this show at the Newport Yachting Center in July:
As a live music fanatic, when I hear that a legend is coming through The Ocean State it's a no-brainer that I have to come check it out. When it's a bluesman like B.B. King performing, saying its a no-brainer is a vast understatement, it's more like a spiritual expedition. The King Of The Blues headlined a fantastic night at The Newport Yachting Center as part of The Sunset Music Series with Providence rocksteady soul group Boo City opening up the show, you knew it was going to be one of the top shows of the summer. The whole time I was here I had to remind myself that one of my favorite musicians of all time in B.B. King as well as pinch myself a few times. The guy is pushing 90 and still tours like he was in his mid-20s and still can strum Lucille better than anybody else, Newport was definitely the hotspot for a once in a lifetime chance to see a musician who will go down as one of the greatest ever.

4. Bob Dylan at URI
Legendary singer-songwriter, Bob Dylan passed through the Ocean State in April, making a stop at URI's Ryan Center. GoLocal music critic Ken Abrams made the trek down to South County for the show:
Bob Dylan's "Never Ending Tour" rolled into the Ryan Center on Monday night. The band is currently on a college campus swing, and featured a new addition, RI's own Duke Robillard on lead guitar. Read More
3. Sir Elton John
A Dunkin Donuts Center crowed was graced by the presence of music royalty in November when Elton John came into Providence for an unforgettable 28-song performance:
Elton John made a triumphant return to Providence Saturday night, making the Dunkin Donuts Center the second stop on his Diving Board Tour. Expectations were high for the near capacity crowd and Sir Elton did not disappoint. He covered a number of hits in his 28 song set, including a full album side from "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." Read More
2. The Who
Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend; the remaining members of one of the most highly-celebrated rock and roll supergroup of all-time, the Who, finished up the US leg of their World Tour at the Dunkin Donuts Center in February:
On Tuesday at The Dunkin' Donuts Center in downtown Providence, rock & roll legends The Who rocked the joint for the last show of the United States leg of The Quadrophenia and More Tour that has been sweeping the globe since last year. Opening the night were Los Angeles' rock & roll souls Vintage Trouble and it was bound to be one of the memorable shows in Providence's music history. There are rock bands and then there's The Who, it was very clear that the best way to enjoy the first half of your week was to be at The Dunk on Tuesday. Read More
1. Newport Festivals
Summer in Newport -- shopping, beaches, sailing, dining, and LIVE MUSIC. Aquidneck Island comes alive when the weather warms up, and once you get beyond Thames Street, music festivals dominate the scene. In 2013, GoLocal' music critics were on hand for three great music festivals in Newport:

Forest County UW Extension is hoping to prevent juvenile delinquency by teaching kids to build remote control, or "RC," race cars. If you've never seen remote control car racing before…there's a good chance you're not prepared for how wild it is. At the RC Havok Raceway in Crandon, a group of kids are test driving remote control trucks. The miniature trucks leap off the starting line and start zooming around indoor dirt track. You can hear them crashing into each other and flipping over.

Automarionette, c. 1987
Ink on sepia Mylar
61 x 30.5 cm (24 x 12 in.)
Gift of Celia and David Hilliard in honor of Stanley Tigerman and Eva Maddox, 2008.67
Founded by Elizabeth Diller and Ricardo Scofidio, Diller + Scofidio (now Diller Scofidio + Renfro), is a practice known for exploring the experimental and performative aspects of architecture and technology. This early drawing documents their interest in manipulations of the human body, depicting their design for a suspended apparatus or prosthetic that controls the position of the body with a counterweight system. A modified version of Automarionette was produced as part of a set design for the performance piece The Rotary Notary and His Hot Plate (A Delay in Glass), inspired by artist Marcel Duchamp's work The Large Glass. This performance was created with an experimental theater company for the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Duchamp Centennial in 1987. Although documenting a highly conceptual project, the lush sepia tones and fine rendering technique used in this drawing recalls the red chalk sketches created by early modern European artists as preparatory studies for paintings.

You, Me and the Bus

Athens GA has always been a cool town – not only the birthplace of great bands, but also a place where visual arts and architecture are celebrated. For example, right now they are in the middle of You, Me, and the Bus phase II. After phase one, four artist-designed bus shelters were constructed around town. The competition for the eight additional shelters is wrapping up as I write this. This is a perfect combination of public art form applied to an everyday function. Such shelters are usually banal and uninspired.
Has your town had its version of the Cincinnati pigs, the Chicago cows, the Outer Banks dolphins, what have you? I'm hard-pressed to find a city that hasn't had some version of that project. Isn't this shelter project a much better and original use of public art funds? What types of public art do you have in your neck of the woods? Would these shelters make you a little more likely to want to take the bus?

OAKBROOK TERRACE — An educated workforce and a cooperative Washington, D.C. are essential for the country to grow and compete in the world economy, according to the three chief executive officers speaking Wednesday at the Elmhurst College Governmental Forum.
The current lack of educated workers was especially apparent for heavy-machinery manufacturer Caterpillar as it grew last year, CEO Doug Oberhelman said.
"We were interviewing thousands of people for manufacturing jobs," he said. "This is for manufacturing jobs on the shop floor, so, basic skills, nothing fancy. I was appalled to learn that we reject 60 percent of applicants.
"Why is that? They can't read, they have no math skills and they fail a drug test."
Oberhelman was joined by CEOs Desiree Rogers and Thomas Kloet at the forum, titled "Jobs, Education and the Economy," at Drury Lane in Oakbrook Terrace.
Rogers is CEO of Johnson Publishing Company, the publisher of Ebony and Jet magazines. Kloet is CEO of TMX Group Inc., the company that operates the principle financial markets for Canada.
Former Illinois Speaker of the House Lee Daniels performed master of ceremonies duties and former Governor of Michigan John Engler moderated the conversation between Oberhelman, Rogers and Kloet.
The discussion covered a wide-ranging set of issues before a crowd of about 800, including everything from China's economy, to the Keystone Pipeline and the possibility of becoming energy independent through natural gas in the next 10 years.
The panel seemed to agree that the country needs to pull together and focus on education and the economy above most other issues, especially in Washington.
"We've splintered ourselves into a tremendous number of interest groups," Rogers said. "So it's very hard for our leaders in Washington to agree on anything."
All three expressed the need for education reform from the grade school level through higher education and job training, but did not offer specific remedies.
Rogers said schools need to take a more tailored approach to childhood education on a student-to-student and school-to-school level, as opposed to teaching to standardized test. She also encouraged the growth of trade schools and community collages.
"Not everybody wants to go to Harvard," she said. "What about the community schools? How do we get those community colleges up and running? And there's no shame in being a carpenter or a plumber. How do we get people employed and in the right positions and the right training?"
When asked by the audience about charter schools versus traditional public schools, Oberhelman took the "anything that sticks" approach, saying he was in favor of promoting both and encouraging choice.
Oberhelman and Kloet both stressed their belief that uncertainty in Washington has stagnated the economy.
"There is a ton of money on the sidelines looking at the world saying 'We're looking for investment opportunities,'" Kloet said. "The corporate balance sheets are very strong right now. The thing that's bothering them is uncertainty. In my career, I've never seen the degree of uncertainty that exists in the 'C suites' of companies and even in investors minds …"
Kloet and Oberhelman both also argued for lower corporate tax rates.
"When you look at corporate tax rates in the United States, they are very high," Kloet said. "That is a competitive disadvantage for the United States against every country that's growing at a faster rate, and it's something that we have to address."

Chris Bosh had a great season as Heat center
Come postseason award time, perhaps there will be one big advantage for Chris Bosh shifting this season from forward to center.
Had Bosh remained a power forward, it would be a battle to make the All-NBA third team. But as the Miami Heat center, its not out of the question he could end up on the first team.
No doubt, Im voting for him, Heat guard Dwyane Wade, who doesnt actually have a vote in the media poll, said of Bosh possibly ending up there. Even though hes not (naturally) a center, hes done a good job of playing that position all year.
Four of the spots on the All-NBA first team are easy. They will manned by forwards LeBron James of the Heat and Kevin Durant of Oklahoma City and guards Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers and Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp insists he would never like one of his players to earn £140,000 a week.
Despite being a serious challenger for a top-four position and reaching the second round of the Champions League, Tottenham are one of the clubs who refuse to pay their players over £100,000 a week.
"I wouldn't want the chairman to start paying £130-140,000 a week for a player," Redknapp said. "It would be difficult when you've got players here getting what they get who are probably better than the ones you've got to pay that money for. So, suddenly, the whole thing would get out of hand, wouldn't it?"
Redknapp takes his side to Fulham on Sunday looking to book a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
The 63-year-old won the competition with Portsmouth in 2008 and reached the semi-finals last year with Spurs before being eliminated by his former employers.
Redknapp handed a number of his fringe players a start in the third-round win over Charlton earlier this month but intends to field his strongest XI at Craven Cottage against the team that Spurs knocked out at the quarter-final stage last year.
"We want to go there and get through if we can," Redknapp said. "I will field my best available team. Benoit (Assou-Ekotto) is fine after his knee injury. (Heurelho) Gomes will go out there. Hopefully he will be okay after his shoulder injury. It is a big game. We want to get through and give it our best shot."
Roman Pavlyuchenko is likely to start on the bench, with Redknapp expected to start with either Peter Crouch or Jermain Defoe alongside Rafael van der Vaart up front.
The Russian claimed earlier this week that he could leave White Hart Lane after falling down the pecking order but Redknapp insists the club have had no bids for the striker and insists he is not for sale.
He said: "No one's come in for him. He's here and I wouldn't think there is any chance of him going before Monday. There's nothing happening at all with Pav."

The Gathering Swarms
series: Nature
air date: 5/21/14 7:00 PM
This program looks at some of the most extraordinary swarms on the planet, including a view from inside a locust swarm, mayflies along the Mississippi, 17-year cicadas, and brine fly hatches over Lake Victoria. Superswarms of finch-like quelea in Africa merit attempts at control through assaults on their roosts, while aggressive swarms of silver carp in North American seem able to overcome any kind of restraint. Dangerous swarms of killer bees, however, can be controlled to the point that they can be worn as a human bee suit. But beyond the power of sheer numbers, increasingly complex and organized swarms eventually give rise to swarm intelligence that allows complex decisions to be made.
WARNING: Email reminders for this program have already been sent out. Your reminder may not reach the intended address in time for this program's airing.

Framework: CN031 – cn031_0900
9 - Primary or Horizontal Divisions
1 - Secondary or Vertical Divisions
Part of series: CN031 Concept 031 – Stairs with Barrier Step
Series Keywords: stair step chart, barrier chart, obstacle chart, step progression chart with barrier
These stairs are an interesting way to demonstrate a step process that is inefficient, ineffective, disruptive, etc. The stairs are equally vertically spaced except for one step. This one step represents a barrier or major obstacle. This series contains nine sets of stairs: 2 stairs through 10 stairs, with all of the variations and including one with equally spaced steps.
Take a look at the series example. Too many activities reside in step 3. The next slide might be a 9-step equally spaced set of stairs that spread out the steps in the original step 3. This is a good option if step 3 can be broken into sequential steps. If the activities in step 3 need to be performed in parallel, then restate the activities as bullet points, stacked boxes containing activities, or other stacked arrangement that implies separate efforts taking place at the same time.

If we can take any positive away from this sh*tastic season, it's that the loss of Revis had basically zero effect on this defense.
If you wanna keep Revis and pay him a kings ransom, then we better start knocking the f*cking ball out of the park on these mid-late round draft picks if we want to fix the offense. Because our options in FA are going to be severely limited if we're paying Revis and Cro a combined $25 million a year.

What's Playing reports on a rumor they've encountered that Universal Studios is planning to reboot the DOOM movie franchise, following on the 2005 Dwayne Johnson vehicle based on id Software's beloved first-person shooter franchise. While this does offer a chance to make up for the miserably received original, it should be noted that the unconfirmed report indicates this DOOM remake would be in 3D, which is not generally cause for optimism.

1. Re: Invalid version: InstanceManager does not have property...BarlaeDC Apr 4, 2012 2:27 AM (in response to nvdm1)
Can you post the PDF form to a sharing site so that we can see the error and code?
Best to use acrobat.com, that way other people can take a look at it as well if I can't figure it out.
Steps to share a document...
(Thanks Srini for the instruction text!)
1. Go to URL http://Acrobat.com
2. Create an account if you don't have one.
3. Then login to the website.
4. In top left corner you will see a button called Upload.
5. Click on browse and select the file you want to upload.
6. After Uploading, mouse over on the uploaded file. Click the down arrow button and choose Share document.
7. Then you will be prompted a popup window at the lower left corner. Choose "Publish it" option.
8. In the next pop up window choose "Copy Link" option.
9. You can paste the link in the forum thread.
Hope this helps

Kind regards,
3. Re: Invalid version: InstanceManager does not have property...BarlaeDC Apr 5, 2012 2:22 AM (in response to nvdm1)
Running the form in Acrobat X 10.1 I do not see the error, which version are you seeing the error in ?
4. Re: Invalid version: InstanceManager does not have property...nvdm1 Apr 5, 2012 5:24 AM (in response to BarlaeDC)
Hi Malcolm,
I'm running on Acrobat X 10.1.2. If you open the form, there is an icon of paperclip (top left corner). If you click on this icon, you'll see a pdf named: error.pdf. There you can see the error.
This error.pdf is created when the form is generated.
Kind regards,
5. Re: Invalid version: InstanceManager does not have property...nvdm1 Apr 6, 2012 12:36 AM (in response to nvdm1)
Hi Malcolm,
I want to thank you for helping me. I didn't solve the problem, but I managed to find a workaround (specific for my form) for instancemanager.count warning. I've rewritten my code without using the instancemanager.count.
I think that because the code on the initialize event is run at the client, the instancemanager.count property simply isn't available when the form is generated on the ADS server (SAP).
I won't close the discussion so that someone who has an answer can still reply.
KInd regards,

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The tough early season schedule continued
Sunday for the Tennessee Tech softball team, as the Golden Eagles
(7-13) dropped games to No. 8 Michigan and No. 20 Louisville at the
Louisville Invitational Tournament. Michigan blanked Tech 13-0 in
five innings, and Louisville scored late to claim a 7-2
The Golden Eagles will visit Lipscomb University in Nashville Tuesday for a doubleheader, then return to Cookeville for their first home games of the season with a Thursday doubleheaders against Tennessee Wesleyan starting at 12 noon.
The 13-0 loss in the opener against Michigan boiled down to two words: Jordan Taylor. The Wolverine pitcher blanked the Golden Eagles with a five-inning no-hitter. She didn't walk a batter and struck out nine, facing just one batter over the minimum. Lacie Coquerille was Tech's lone base runner, reaching second on an error in the second inning.
Michigan had 13 hits in scoring its 13 runs. Maddie Schmissrauter pitched the first two innings and took the loss, while Whitney Cummings pitched the final three frames.
In the game against Louisville, Tech had a chance to grab an early lead with a second inning double by Katie Betry but couldn't bring her home. Instead, the Cardinals scored three in the bottom of the second with back-to-back singles and a three-run home run by Chelsea Bemis.
The Golden Eagles got two of those runs back in the top of the third. Jordan Leff and Kimmie White set the table with singles, and Whitney Cummings cleared the bases with a two-run double to make it 3-2.
Louisville's first run in the fifth came from a single, stolen base and RBI hit from Kristi Cunningham. Once again, Bemis delivered with an RBI double to make it 5-2. The Cardinals added their final two runs in the sixth when Kassie Stanfill singled to drive home the first run and Cunningham's double plated the final run.
Holly Thomas took the loss for Tech, working all six innings and allowing 13 hits and seven runs. She walked two and struck out one. Betry had two of Tech's seven hits off Louisville pitcher Kristen Wadwell. Cunningham was 3-for-4 and Bemis was 2-for-3 to pace the Cards.

We all have little aches and pains. Most of them go away pretty quickly, but every once in a while, the pain lingers.
It may seem like no big deal, but doctors say you should always have those pains checked out. There are certain pains you should never ignore.
You run. You work out. You take care of yourself, but sometimes there's pain. And some pains you just shouldn't blow off. You should listen to what your body's trying to say. Severe pain in your feet or shins could indicate a stress fracture. Severe back pain is one of the top three reasons people go to the doctor. It could be a little over-exertion, but it could also be caused by an aneurysm, a kidney stone, or even some kinds of cancer. If you have swelling and pain in your legs, be on the look out for a blood clot, thrombosis or an embolism; that's what killed NBC's David Bloom because he was sitting, cramped up for too long.
Women, especially pregnant women, are at higher risk for blood clots than men because estrogen encourages clotting agents. And of course there's always a catch: you can't always be sure the pain is actually coming from what hurts. Referred pain can happen because of the way the nerves are connected in your body.
Chest pain can be anything from indigestion to a heart attack. It's tough to tell because your heart, your lungs, your esophagus, and your diaphragm are all crammed together.
Your doctor can help you figure it out. And don't forget about emotional pain. Depression often leads to more serious outcomes.
Fortunately, depression is treatable, and limiting the emotional pain may also help cure the physical pain. But you have to get it checked out.
To figure out of it's a serious pain, it's important to keep track of what goes with it. If you have blood in your stool, a fever, sweats, or if you get dizzy, it's definitely a serious pain and you should get it checked out quickly!

Logan Girls Volleyball Defeats Antioch 3-0 in Home Opener
By Steve Burmaster
September 11, 2012
The James Logan High School girls' volleyball team made the most of their home opener, defeating Antioch High School in 3 straight games: 25-19, 25-17, and 25-7.
The Colts looked sluggish in Games 1 and 2, but played well enough to win both. Antioch stayed close in each game, and even tied the score in Game 2 at 16-16 before the Colts pulled away to win.
In Game 3 the Colts finally began to play to their potential by focusing more, minimizing their own errors, and making the visiting team pay whenever they sent over a "free ball". It was nice to see a fast paced attack occur multiple times with lots of success, due to everyone fulfilling their role on the team. Better passing and digging by the Colts resulted in more accurate sets to the hitters, who were in better position to attack the ball because of their great attention to detail.
This match proved to be a good opportunity for Logan to utilize a lot of things that they had been working on in practice in a real game/match situation. It was very nice to see the continued progress of the team. While there is still a lot of work to do, tonight's concentration, attention to detail and high level of effort in Game 3 allowed the Colts to play at a high level. Keep up the good work!
