Inquiries made about trustee recall
A local attorney made Inquiry on behalf of a client in the Bingham County clerk's office about the process of recalling a school trustee in the Blackfoot School District on Thursday.
This recall inquiry was made regarding school trustee Peter Lipovac who represents Zone 1. Lipovac was elected and took office in 2009. His term ends in 2013.
As of 2011, the county handles all elections.
According to Idaho Code 34-1702, the [recall] petition shall be filed with the county clerk of the county wherein the district is located.
The petition must be signed by registered electors of the district equal in number to 50 percent of the number of electors who cast votes in the last election of the district.
For example, if 350 electors cast their ballots in the 2009 Zone 1 election, 175 signatures would need to be collected to have a recall election.
If no district election has been held in the last six years, the petition must be signed by 20 percent of the number of electors registered to vote in the district at the time the petition is filed.
There are approximately 1,250 voters in Blackfoot School Zone 1.
This provision of the statute probably would not apply since the election took place in 2009, three years ago.

Horn of Plenty
Plenty of desire to fire opposing defenses up that is :
Receiver's words provoke Panthers
Minter, secondary eager to face Saints' Horn
Staff Writer
Joe Horn
On most days, safety Mike Minter is the most diplomatic of the Carolina Panthers. Thursday wasn't one of those days.
He was stung by comments made by Joe Horn after New Orleans defeated Carolina 34-24 in November. Horn said he saw fear in the eyes of Carolina's secondary during the Saints' game-winning drive.
Minter has a promise for Horn as the Panthers prepare for Sunday's rematch at the Superdome in New Orleans.
"I guarantee you at the end of the game he won't see fear in our eyes," Minter said. "We haven't forgotten about that. We'll take that up come Sunday."
Minter isn't the only one looking forward to Sunday. For cornerbacks Terry Cousin and Reggie Howard, the rematch could help avenge one of the few bad outings for a secondary considered a weakness entering the season.
New Orleans drove 95 yards to take the lead with one minute, 18 seconds left. Carolina led 24-20 with 3:31 left, and Howard made what appeared to be a game-clinching interception on the first play of the Saints' drive. But he was called for illegal contact.
"I had made the play to win," Howard said. "But, unfortunately, there was a call made that I had no control over to lose the game. It took me a little bit to get over it. It's over now, but it's extra motivation going into this game."
Howard isn't the only one looking at the November loss as motivation. Cousin also was involved in a crucial play on the drive. On a second-and-13 from the New Orleans 42, quarterback Aaron Brooks was sacked for an 8-yard loss. But the play was wiped out by a defensive holding call on Cousin.
It gave New Orleans a fresh set of downs and Brooks eventually hit rookie Donte Stallworth with the game-winning touchdown.
But extra motivation is nothing new for Cousin and Howard, who won full-time starting jobs for the first times in their careers in training camp. Preseason magazines ripped on Carolina's cornerback situation and even coach John Fox admitted he had early doubts.
"I'd say probably our biggest question mark on defense was our secondary, particularly our corners," Fox said. "I've been pleased with both Reggie and Terry Cousin's performance this year. That's been a bright spot for us as far as why we've been able to play consistently well on defense."
Aside from the New Orleans game, there haven't been many negative plays involving the cornerbacks. Carolina's defense ranks fourth overall in the NFL and sixth against the pass.
"Look where we are," Cousin said. "Look at the stats and where we rank. We don't look at what people say. We just, at the end of the day, look at the stats, how much the yardage is and what plays they made and measure ourselves there."
The Panthers haven't allowed an opposing team to throw for 300 yards. In hindsight, Cousin said the early skepticism might have been good.
"It always motivates a guy when they don't really expect anything out of you," he said. "It does light a fire under you."
There is another fire burning and the Panthers hope to extinguish it Sunday.
"Joe Horn was talking crazy, talking about the corners and how he saw the fear in their eyes on the last drive," Minter said. "That's crazy. These corners don't have fear. We're going to see about that on Sunday."
Horn of Plenty
What amazes me is how easily other teams can take the smallest things to motivate them to play hard.
Our beloved Saints on the other hand can\'t see home field advantage, playoffs, etc as reasons to stay motivated.
So what if the team you\'re playing is \"sorry\". Whatever happened to simply going out and takin\' a team behind the woodshed? Sad!
[Edited on 28/12/2002 by DATMAN]
Horn of Plenty
Horn has repeatedly expressed himself and repeatedly performed. The guy brings it every game.
I love him.

Keith Olbermann -- formerly of MSNBC, formerly of Current TV, formerly of Fox, formerly of ESPN -- wants back in the game.
When I saw the headlines about Sean Hannity getting into a shouting match with a Democratic congressman this week, I assumed the combative and conservative Fox News host had just gone off on him.

I never realized that the conservative media were so eye-poppingly powerful.

About halfway through The New York Times review of TV chef Guy Fieri's Manhattan restaurant, I realized that the author was wielding a meat cleaver.
There are things that I admire about Rupert Murdoch. He has maintained a lifelong commitment to newspapers, long after it became clear that they were no longer profitable. He has a feistiness at 81, when he could be happily sitting on a yacht somewhere. He now spews his opinions on that newfangled social network called Twitter, and since he's the undisputed kingpin of News Corp., who's going to stop him?
Are the media reveling in the David Petraeus scandal just a bit too much?
David Petraeus had another love affair long before the one that cost him his job running the CIA.
As televised theater, it was hard to beat. As political prognostication, it was a head-scratching moment. As partisan warfare, it was nothing short of audacious.
It's all become a blur of polls, predictions and prognostication.
A confession: I usually have a knee-jerk reaction when television goes into its extreme-weather mode.
Is Twitter forcing journalists to march in mindless lockstep?
The media have been giving us binders full of blather.

Q:) I'm interested in growing Christmas trees. Where do I find information about getting started?
A:) Each year the Extension office teaches a program called the Christmas Tree Acquaintance Class. It's designed to help people decide if the Christmas tree business is the right fit for them. Topics covered in this class range from the time, equipment and financial resources needed to succeed in the business, to site selection, management steps and tree marketing. The class is offered in the winter.
Also, Extension has a publication titled Growing Christmas Trees in the Northwest (PNW 6) it's a great publication for those wanting more information about getting started in this crop.
Q:) I've noticed trees dying in my forest. Will this spread? What should I spray?
A:) Forest trees die for lots of reasons. Disease and insects are a couple of likely causes. But, weather problems (freezes and drought) and animal or mechanical damage are other possibilities. First, find out what is killing the tree(s) before doing anything. Controlling forest insects is very difficult. Controlling forest diseases is next to impossible with sprays. There's not much you can do about weather or environmental problems. Feel free to bring a sample of the damaged tree into the Extension office for further diagnosis.
Q:) I just planted trees. Do I need to worry about the weeds growing around them and if so, what do I do?
A:) Weed control around newly planted trees is very important in the North Willamette Valley and Cascade foothills area. Our dry summers make tree survival a challenge especially the first two or three years of the seedling's life. Competing vegetation like grasses, broadleaves and woody plants have more vigorous root systems and will get any moisture in the ground before the trees. As a result, eliminating the weeds around the base of the planted trees is a good idea in forest areas. This can be done by hand or by spraying an herbicide. In Christmas tree plantings, complete weed control (whole field) is the standard practice. This is typically done with herbicide applications or by tillage.
Q:) I need to plant some trees. Where can I buy seedlings?
A:) Tree seedlings are available at private nursery businesses. In fact, in Clackamas County we have some of the biggest nurseries in the state and region that specialize in producing forest tree seedlings. You need to know what tree species you are interested in purchasing, the seed zone or geographic area you will be planting if you are planting a forest, and what you want for size and quality of the plant you will be purchasing.
Extension has an excellent publication, Buying Quality Seedlings (EC 1196). Contact the Extension office for a copy. Also Extension has a Nursery Seedling List that is available at the same address or click on the link.
Q:) I want to get my soil tested. Where do I take my sample? How do I get my soil tested?
A:) Extension has a brief publication titled, Taking a Soil Sample (EC 628) that is available at the Extension office. Also, we have a list of laboratories in the state and region that do soil testing. Stop at the Extension office for a copy or call to have these items mailed to you. Click on Lab lists for a link to the soil test lab information.
Q:) I need to find out about taxes related to my forest property and timber harvest. Who do I contact and what do I need to know?
A:) Extension has several publications that address topics of forest property and income taxation. Take a look at the Extension Publications Catalogue for selected titles in the Forestry Business Management section. Also, personal tax assistance can be obtained from the Clackamas County Assessor's office (property tax information) and the Oregon Department of Revenue (for timber harvest tax information). Contact Extension for referrals.
Q:) My Christmas trees are starting to look sick and some are dying. What do I do?
A:) Trees can look sick and die for a variety of reasons. There are several ways Extension can help. Try a digital photo and email. Or, call the Extension office and talk to the Extension Forestry Agent. If a phone visit doesn't solve the problem, you may want to bring a sample into the office that shows the extent of damage in the field. Finally, the situation may require a farm visit by the Extension Agent.
Q:) Do you have anyone that will come to my property and give me advice about thinning, logging, etc?
A:) The Extension Forestry program in Clackamas County has about 40 active trained Master Woodland Manager volunteers who are able to make farm visits to provide educational information about a wide variety of forest management topics. They won't do work for you nor will they make decisions for you. But, they can point you in the direction of the help you need. Contact the Extension office for a Master Woodland Manager who can help.
Q:) I am considering buying property with timber on it. Could someone at your office advise me?
A:) Again, we certainly have resources to assist you with a decision about a property from the soils and suitability for growing trees, to the kind of trees and opportunities for management. However, if you need an "advisor", then you should hire a private forestry consultant for that type of assistance.
Q:) I would like to sell my Christmas trees. Who do I contact?
A:) All serious Christmas tree growers should be members of the Pacific Northwest Christmas Tree Association. That organization has several important resources for their members that could help you be successful selling your trees. Examples include: a "Buy-Sell Directory", the annual Tree Fair and its "Buy-Sell" exchange center, classes and opportunities to network with other growers and tree buyers at their meetings.
Also, in Clackamas County there is a group called the Clackamas Christmas Tree Marketing Association that is open to anyone interested in joining. Members are growers who jointly advertise their product for sale and work with each other to fill orders as much as possible.
Q:) The large fir (pine, cedar) in my backyard is looking sick and seems to be dying. I don't want to lose it. What can I do?
A:) Our Master Gardeners address backyard and landscape tree questions. Contact them at the Extension Office. They manage a public clinic for gardening and landscaping questions Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 am to noon and from 1:00 to 4:00 pm (closed for lunch: noon-1:00 pm). They may be able to diagnose your problem or direct you to other assistance.

Customizing SMF > Bridges and Integrations
MediaWiki SMF Bridge not working - No auth, portal removed...
<< < (4/6) > >>
Great thread (and I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that I'm struggling with this as well).
Here's some of the tracing I've done (keep in mind that I'm not a web developer - I basically know just enough PHP to be dangerous (usually to myself!). This is a cut and paste portion of an e-mail I just sent off about this:
--- Quote ---The ultimate issue that seems to be triggering my problems is that while
the code is able to derive $ID_MEMBER from the SMF cookie,
$smf_member_id (i.e. the double check from the database) never changes
from its default value of 0, so this bit of code runs:
// We have tried all we can, but the data just doesn't match up.
if (empty($smf_member_id) || $smf_member_id != $ID_MEMBER)
// TODO: Log errors if the ids don't match?
if ($user->isLoggedIn())
return true;
and thus I'm logged out (and if $wgSMFLogin is set to true, my SMF
session is killed as well). I also see the same logic running when
$wgSMFLogin isn't set:
// No id, you must be unauthorized.
if ($smf_member_id == 0)
return false;
So I went hunting for smf_member_id and found it stored properly (i.e.
the value is the same as my account ID in the SMF database) as a BLOB in
the mw_user_properties table. What seems to be broken (at least right
now!) is that the getOption call to get that value never seems to
actually return the value stored in the database. The value (as far as
the bridge code is concerned) remains zero, thus the double check
continuously fails.
--- End quote ---
@ajbaldwin, thanks for your input, hopefully we will manage to solve it somehow.
For the record, I have noticed that:
- If I access the forum first, I can login and then, when accessing the wiki, authentication is working (although I am still having an odd behavior with MediaWiki's Short URLs)
- If, on the other hand, I enter the wiki first and then I click the login link, it takes me as expected to the forum's login page. However, it is impossible to login, with the forum always complaining about cookie's settings on my browser.
It seems that:
- The cookie must be created by the forum, and the wiki can read it without problems
- The forum can't overwrite the cookie (or I have not found how)
Here you go anyone wanting to use this :D
Go to around line 247
comment out the following
--- Code: ---if (empty($smf_member_id) || $smf_member_id != $ID_MEMBER)
// TODO: Log errors if the ids don't match?
if ($user->isLoggedIn())
return true;
--- End code ---
It'll stop you being logged out after everything setup. No need to use any other fixes. Keep $smf_member_id = $user->getOption('smf_member_id'); in.
EDIT: Just read above lol. Can't believe i missed that. Ah well ¬¬. Im sure we'll figure out the smf_member_id next :D
I had this working and then upgraded to Mediawiki 1.18 and SMF 2.0.2 and I ran into the same unable to login / getting redirected to the forums main page.
I got mine (mostly) working again with this fix:
--- Quote ---I changed line 176 of mediawiki/extensions/Auth_SMF.php from
$smf_member_id = $user->getOption('smf_member_id');
$smf_member_id = $user_settings['id_member'];
and the login integration works fine. $user doesn't have any data set up at that point and $smf_member_id is never set so the authentication fails down the line.
--- End quote ---
However, there were still some issues. The new LocalSettings.php seemed to be missing some content:
--- Quote ---# NOTE: Make sure to configure the wgCookeDomain below
--- End quote ---
But the new LocalSettings file (see https:// github.com/SimpleMachines/smf-mw-auth) did not seem to contain the line that actually set the wgCookieDomain. So I had to add that back in from my previous version of LocalSettings.
--- Quote ---# Make sure "Enable local storage of cookies" is unchecked in the
# SMF Admin -> Server Settings -> Feature Configuration section
# www . domain . org / wiki and www . domain . org / forums -> www . domain . org
# wiki . domain . org and forums . doman . org -> .domain . org
#$wgCookieDomain = 'www . domain . com';
$wgCookieDomain = 'domain . com';
#$wgCookiePath = '/'; // Optional, defaults to '/'
#$wgCookieSecure = false; // Optional, only change on scheme mismatch
--- End quote ---
Also, if I logged in and out from the forums, all was good.
If I logged out from the logout link on the Wiki page, a cookie got set, and then I couldn't log back in at all. Using the Login/Logout links from the Wiki didn't seem to work. If I cleared the cookies and used just the login links from SMF, all seemed to work fine.
I borrowed code from http:// www . mediawiki . org / wiki / Extension:AutomaticREMOTE_USER#Disabling_Login_and_Logout_Links to remove the login/logout options from the Wiki page. So, the user *has* to login/logout from the forums. This seems to work.
(It wouldn't let me post actual links, so they are broken up with spaces.)

2012 Expectations: Minor League – Hitters
Since I have already covered the Pirates top depth options and prospects at each position this piece and the corresponding pitcher one will focus on the overall state of each position in the minors and will focus on one under the radar player I have yet to discuss.
A lot of people view the Pirates minor league catching depth as a weak spot but I view as something stronger than that. The Pirates have a high end prospect in Sanchez and good depth guys in Fryer, Cabrera and Paulino. The rest of the catcher position will be handled by fringe prospects like Jonathan Schwind and organizational players like Kris Watts and Charlie Cutler. The most intriguing of the other minor league catchers is Samuel Gonzalez. Last season was Gonzalez's first in the states and the Pirates pushed him aggressively to short season ball where he performed very well. Headed into this season the biggest question surrounding Gonzalez is likely his age as he is 23 years old and has not played in A ball yet. The Pirates could opt to push him to A+ but due to the catching backlog I expect him to go to A ball. Through his pro career Gonzalez has shown both good offensive and defensive skills but since he was playing at an advanced age in the lower levels this season is a big test for him. I'm honestly not sure what to expect from him but I think his age is playing against him so I would not expect too much.
1st Base
The Pirates have an array of intriguing 1B prospects but they lack any true impact prospect. The lack of that impact player makes this a truly weak position for the Pirates but hopefully somebody will make a step forward this season. Outside of the players I have previously covered the Pirates first base position will be manned by fringe prospects like Calvin Anderson and Justin Howard. There is one other player though who is very intriguing and as far as prospect status is concerned does not rank to far behind the Pirates top three at this position. That player is Jose Osuna. Osuna made his state's debut last season and absolutely dominated rookie ball; he was so effective that despite being 19 the Pirates very well may consider sending him to full season ball to start the season. Due to the lack of other options I do think the Pirates will try to have Osuna make that jump but my expectation is that it will take him some time to adjust and he will initially struggle but will rebound and finish with a respectable season.
2nd Base
For the most part second base is a position lacking true prospects because most of the better options move to 2nd from a position such as shortstop. However as I previously shown the Pirates have some decent prospects at second base and considering most true prospects will ultimately come from other positions, that is all an organization is probably looking for. Outside of Cunningham, Holt and Ngoepe the Pirates have two interesting guys in Adalberto Santos and Dan Gamache. Gamache was drafted last season and will be making the transition from 3rd base to second base this season. The more intriguing of the duo I mentioned, Santos is a combination 2B/OF and will should start the season in AA. If Cunningham is moved up to AA Santos will likely mainly play OF but if he is held back as I expect Santos will receive the majority of the playing time at 2B in AA.
3rd Base
Third base is probably the Pirates weakest position from a prospect position. I have already covered the semi intriguing guys in Navarro, Gonzalez and Avila but the Pirates will man the remaining openings with far less interesting guys like Jeremy Farrell and Yhonathan Barrios. Barrios is still young enough where there is a chance he could put things together but that is probably a long shot. On the flip side this season is likely Farrell's last chance and in fact he may not even be able to find a regular spot in the minors. The only truly intriguing 3B prospect left (possibly even in the whole organization) is Dilson Herrera. Herrera received the second largest international signing bonus (behind only Heredia) from the Pirates in 2010 and played in the VSL last season. He performed well and will likely move up to the GCL this season. I believe by the time the season ends Dilson Herrera will be the Pirates top 3B prospect (unless a 3B is drafted early). This isn't to say he will be a great prospect but he will be the best of a bad lot.
The Pirates are relatively weak at shortstop. The foursome of Mercer, Maggi, Hanson and Nunez I have already covered all have something interesting about them but outside of them the Pirates lack somebody who even has a skill set worth getting excited about. A second baseman I covered like Holt or Ngoepe may see time at shortstop this season but both of them project better long term as 2B. The Pirates will likely have any remaining opportunities at shortstop filled by organizational guys like Benji Gonzalez, Kelson Brown and Kirk Singer. It is really tough to find anybody to point here there is the duo of Jorge Bishop and Jodaneli Carvajal but neither of these players has shown anything defensively that makes one think they will remain at the position. Since I have to pick someone I'm going with Carvajal because he showed good speed and hot for a respectable average last season. If Hanson is pushed to A ball it is possible Carvajal will assume the shortstop job in short season ball. I really don't expect much from him but hopefully he surprises me.
I have already covered 9 outfield prospects for the Pirates, even though one of them Exicardo Cayones has been since traded. Of the remaining prospects it is tough to find anyone who doesn't like they are organizational depth or minor league filler. The most promising of the group in my mind is Candon Myles but with Cayones no longer in the system I went back and used Myles as my 9th prospect. The remaining lot includes guys like Quincy Latimore and Rogelios Noris who have huge power potential but lack any other tools. There are those who like Gregory Polanco, Rodarrick Jones and Taylor Lewis but in my opinion they are a year away from being considered for the ones to watch. Harold Ramirez and Elvis Escobar are probably the two most intriguing players I haven't mentioned but these two were just signed last season and will likely spend multiple seasons in the DSL. I usually do not follow prospects until they reach the states so instead I am going to go with Daniel Grovatt. Grovatt put up strong numbers in A ball last season but was a touch old for the level. He doesn't profile as much and since he was drafted out of college he probably needs to quickly show that he is for real so a good showing in A+ is probably necessary for him to be considered a legit prospect. He showed some good skills last season so I am actually expecting him to have a surprisingly good season this year.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 1.8 percent in the first three months of the year, significantly slower than first thought. The steep revision occurred mostly because consumers spent less than previously estimated, a sign that higher taxes could be dampening growth.
The Commerce Department revised its estimate of economic growth for the January-March quarter down from a 2.4 percent annual rate. The revised rate was still faster than the 0.4 percent rate in the October-December quarter.
Economists had thought growth in the April-June quarter would be 2 percent or less. Analysts had also expected growth to strengthen in the second half of this year. The downgrade for the January-March quarter will likely change those estimates.
It might also affect the timing of the Federal Reserve's plan to scale back its bond-buying program. Chairman Ben Bernanke said last week that the Fed would likely start to slow its bond purchases later this year and end them next year if the economy continues to strengthen. The Fed's bond purchases have helped keep long-term interest rates low.
Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, noted that the economy barely grew in the final quarter of last year. If the April-June quarter proves as weak as some analysts expect, the Fed will be looking at three quarters of subpar growth.
"The Fed won't taper under these conditions," Lee said. "They need convincing signs of a pickup."
Stocks surged Wednesday for the second straight day, a sign that some investors believe the economy may be too weak for the Fed to begin scaling back its stimulus later this year. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 108 points in early trading.
Most of the revision to last quarter's growth was due to a drop in consumer spending to an annual rate of 2.6 percent. That's sharply lower than the 3.4 percent rate estimated last month. Consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of economic activity.
Much of the change reflected a lower estimate for spending on services such travel, legal services, health care and utilities.
Export growth was also trimmed, reflecting slower global growth. And business investment spending was much weaker than initially estimated. That was largely due to an even larger drop in spending on buildings than previously thought, a particularly volatile category.
An increase in Social Security taxes on Jan. 1 has reduced take-home pay for most Americans. A person earning $50,000 a year has roughly $1,000 less to spend, while a high-earning couple has $4,500 less.
Many economists had thought that the tax increase, along with steep government spending cuts, would start to affect consumers in the second quarter, which ends this week. But the revision suggests the tax increase may have hampered consumer spending a little earlier than thought.

MEDIA — South Philly rapper Beanie Sigel pleaded guilty Wednesday to illegally possessing Percocet, an ungraded misdemeanor, for which he was sentenced by Judge Michael F.X. Coll to six to 23 months at the county prison in Concord.
Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, has been incarcerated since his Aug. 29, 2012, arrest following a traffic stop by Pennsylvania State Police on Interstate 95 in Tinicum.
According to an affidavit of probable cause, Troopers Francis Pawlowski and James Sparenga pulled over a tan Ford Fusion at 3:14 a.m. after seeing the vehicle swerving over the dividing lines on southbound I-95.
Co-defendant Gerald Andrews, 41, also of South Philadelphia, was driving the car and was asked to exit the vehicle. A pat-down search revealed several prescription pill bottles in his pockets and a small amount of marijuana.
Sigel, 39, had been asleep in the passenger seat during the stop. Pawlowski asked him to get out of the vehicle so he could explain why Andrews was being arrested. Sigel also was patted down, revealing a bottle of codeine syrup, various pills hidden in a cigarette pack and about $4,500 in cash. During his arraignment in Folcroft District Court last year, Sigel claimed he had won the money at a casino.
A fully loaded .38-caliber Smith & Wesson was later found inside the car. Both Sigel and Andrews are convicted felons and are prohibited from possessing a firearm. Sigel had previously served a federal sentence for firearms offenses.
Both men were arraigned on charges of drug possession, possession with the intent to deliver, persons not to possess firearms, firearms not to be carried without a license and conspiracy.
Andrews also pleaded Wednesday to one count of a former convict not to possess a firearm. Coll sentenced him to 30 to 60 months at a state correctional institute, which he noted was well below the mitigated range. Andrews is ordered to report by 6 p.m. April 5 to begin that sentence.
Andrews, represented by defense attorney Gene Taggart, did not make a comment during the hearing. Sigel's attorney, Carson Morris, standing in for Fortunato N. Perri, described his client as a talented entertainer who has made some mistakes.
"Mr. Grant has been a successful entertainer and musician in the Philadelphia community for decades," Morris said. "Obviously, he's had an incredible amount of success and opportunity in his life. He's also made some mistakes, which have ended up putting him in custody. He's ready to go ahead and put that behind him and move on with his life."
Sigel also is facing a two-year federal sentence for tax evasion. Morris said his client had been scheduled to turn himself in for that sentence shortly after his arrest in Tinicum.
Morris said there had been an agreement between Perri and Assistant District Attorney Lindsay McDonald that the drug possession charge would run concurrent to the federal sentence.
Coll said he could not dictate what the federal court would do, but wished Sigel luck on that front. The judge also asked if the two cases would significantly impact Sigel's career.
Morris said Sigel, who was arrested just hours after the release of his newest solo album, "This Time," has recently experienced serious financial problems, mainly due to the tax issue.
"He has a lot of catching up to do, but he also has a lot of talent and a lot of opportunity, hopefully," Morris said. "So the prospect is that he can get out and move on and start doing something productive with his life."

The Record (http://www.troyrecord.com)

WATERFORD >> Alfred Bills joined the Navy right out of high school in 1943.
For him, the war started as he crossed the English Channel in the predawn darkness of June 6, 1944 — D-Day — 70 years ago Friday.
A Navy corpsman, Bills was assigned to an LST — landing ship, tank — a vessel created to carry large numbers of vehicles, cargo and troops during amphibious operations. D-Day was the largest seaborne invasion in world history and turned the tide of World War II by giving Allies a foothold in Nazi-occupied Western Europe that led to Germany's defeat less than a year later.
"We were out there in the middle of nowhere," Bills recalled. "It was absolutely black. All of a sudden the skies lit up with big heavy guns. No matter what direction you looked, there were ships and they were all firing. The firing turned night into day."
Allies suffered an estimated 12,000 casualties on D-Day including 4,414 killed in action. Just 19 at the time, Bills didn't fully appreciate the magnitude of this date until much later and has only now begun to talk about it.
"I pushed it out of my mind," he said. "I didn't want to remember. It's no fun when you see a guy's leg (severed). Plus, I didn't want anybody to think I was trying to make a hero out of myself."
Bills spent most of his time aboard ship, as it went back and forth across the channel, carrying the wounded to safety while bringing fresh troops to the battle zone. An estimated 160,000 Allied soldiers made the trip on D-Day alone.
That was just the beginning as the full Normandy Invasion lasted several weeks longer, its victory coming at a terrible price — more than 200,000 Allied casualties.
"When dawn broke on D-Day, we were maybe less than a mile from the shoreline," Bills said. "German planes came and dropped flares so they could see us. Germans on shore were firing 180 millimeter artillery guns. It whistles like a screaming missile. Troops on our ship couldn't wait to get off."
However, they were met by heavy German machine gun fire from concrete bunkers on bluffs overlooking Omaha Beach. Hours later, with bodies piled up across the 1,000-foot-wide beach, those positions were finally overrun.
"It was terrible," Bills said. "Our ships were shot up and there were a lot of casualties. If anybody needed help, I had to administer it."
This meant treating wounded German prisoners as well, and keeping them separated from unsympathetic Allied soldiers.
"It was no love affair," Bills said.
His boat, USS LST-197, was laid down June 15, 1942, at Chicago Bridge and Iron Co. in Seneca, Illinois, and was launched six months later on Dec. 13. Prior to Normandy, it took part in the Sicilian occupation of July 1943, and the Salerno landings in September of that same year. In early 1944, it was assigned to the west coast of Italy and took part in the Anzio-Nettuno advanced landing.
USS LST-197 earned four battle stars during World War II and was assigned to occupation service in the Far East from September to November 1945 after Japan finally surrendered.
Bills had crossed the ocean in a similar boat on his way to Europe, surviving German U-boat attacks and a severe North Atlantic storm.
"Waves were so big the bow would tip down and propellers would come out of the water," he said. "The whole ship would shake."
One of many ordeals during his wartime service.
Some time after D-Day, Bills boarded an ocean liner troop ship and came home to the U.S. for some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Before long, he was sent to the Pacific and was in Guam, with the 3rd Marine Division, when fighting ceased in August 1945.
"We were scheduled to invade Japan," he said. "But (President) Harry Truman dropped the atomic bomb and the war ended."
Bills spent the next eight months in China as part of an occupation force before returning home for good in early 1946. He and his late wife, Jane, had eight children, and Bills now has 26 grandchildren and even more great-grandchildren.
Last year, he was grand marshal of Waterford's annual Memorial Day Parade, an honor befitting a member of America's "Greatest Generation."
At 89, he's had many long rich years, but like many veterans, the defining period of his life was the time he spent serving his country.
"Two years, nine months, 28 days," Bills said.

Immutable objects
Immutable objects are simply objects whose state (the object's data) cannot change after construction. Examples of immutable objects from the JDK include String and Integer.
Immutable objects greatly simplify your program, since they:
- are simple to construct, test, and use
- are automatically thread-safe and have no synchronization issues
- don't need a copy constructor
- don't need an implementation of clone
- allow hashCode to use lazy initialization, and to cache its return value
- don't need to be copied defensively when used as a field
- make good Map keys and Set elements (these objects must not change state while in the collection)
- have their class invariant established once upon construction, and it never needs to be checked again
- always have "failure atomicity" (a term used by Joshua Bloch): if an immutable object throws an exception, it's never left in an undesirable or indeterminate state
Make a class immutable by following these guidelines:
- ensure the class cannot be overridden - make the class final, or use static factories and keep constructors private
- make fields private and final
- force callers to construct an object completely in a single step, instead of using a no-argument constructor combined with subsequent calls to setXXX methods (that is, avoid the Java Beans convention)
- do not provide any methods which can change the state of the object in any way - not just setXXX methods, but any method which can change state
- if the class has any mutable object fields, then they must be defensively copied when they pass between the class and its caller
"Classes should be immutable unless there's a very good reason to make them mutable....If a class cannot be made immutable, limit its mutability as much as possible."
It's interesting to note that BigDecimal is technically not immutable, since it's not final.
import java.util.Date; /** * Planet is an immutable class, since there is no way to change * its state after construction. */ public final class Planet { public Planet (double aMass, String aName, Date aDateOfDiscovery) { fMass = aMass; fName = aName; //make a private copy of aDateOfDiscovery //this is the only way to keep the fDateOfDiscovery //field private, and shields this class from any changes that //the caller may make to the original aDateOfDiscovery object fDateOfDiscovery = new Date(aDateOfDiscovery.getTime()); } /** * Returns a primitive value. * * The caller can do whatever they want with the return value, without * affecting the internals of this class. Why? Because this is a primitive * value. The caller sees its "own" double that simply has the * same value as fMass. */ public double getMass() { return fMass; } /** * Returns an immutable object. * * The caller gets a direct reference to the internal field. But this is not * dangerous, since String is immutable and cannot be changed. */ public String getName() { return fName; } // /** // * Returns a mutable object - likely bad style. // * // * The caller gets a direct reference to the internal field. This is usually dangerous, // * since the Date object state can be changed both by this class and its caller. // * That is, this class is no longer in complete control of fDate. // */ // public Date getDateOfDiscovery() { // return fDateOfDiscovery; // } /** * Returns a mutable object - good style. * * Returns a defensive copy of the field. * The caller of this method can do anything they want with the * returned Date object, without affecting the internals of this * class in any way. Why? Because they do not have a reference to * fDate. Rather, they are playing with a second Date that initially has the * same data as fDate. */ public Date getDateOfDiscovery() { return new Date(fDateOfDiscovery.getTime()); } // PRIVATE /** * Final primitive data is always immutable. */ private final double fMass; /** * An immutable object field. (String objects never change state.) */ private final String fName; /** * A mutable object field. In this case, the state of this mutable field * is to be changed only by this class. (In other cases, it makes perfect * sense to allow the state of a field to be changed outside the native * class; this is the case when a field acts as a "pointer" to an object * created elsewhere.) */ private final Date fDateOfDiscovery; }
Note that javadoc 1.4 includes the -tag option, whereby simple custom tags may be defined. One might define an @is.Immutable tag, for example, to document a class as being immutable.
You might also consider defining your own tag interface for immutable objects.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Kentuckians on both sides of the gay marriage debate are finding reasons to praise the U.S. Supreme Court's rulings on the issue.
Martin Cothran, a spokesman for The Family Foundation, says Kentucky's Marriage Amendment was left intact. Kentucky voters amended the state's Constitution in 2004 to define marriage as something exclusively between a man and woman.
The high court on Wednesday struck down a provision of a federal law denying federal benefits to married gay couples. It also cleared the way for resumption of same-sex marriage in California. But the court said nothing about the validity of gay marriage bans in California and other states including Kentucky.
Democratic U.S. Rep. John Yarmuth of Louisville says the rulings bring the country closer to providing full equality for all Americans.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) — County clerks in some parts of Illinois say they'll wait until June to issue same-sex marriage licenses even after a federal judge ruled gay couples in Cook County can get them immediately.
The (Springfield) State Journal-Register (http://bit.ly/1hyMQkC ) reports more than half a dozen central Illinois counties will issue licenses in June when the new same-sex marriage law takes effect. Those counties are Sangamon, Logan, Cass, Morgan, Macoupin, Montgomery and Christian.
A federal judge ruled last week that Illinois' same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional. That ruling applied to Cook County because the lawsuit was filed against Clerk David Orr.
Another county started issuing them Wednesday. Champaign County Clerk Gordy Hulten says he's consulted with attorneys and that if the original law "is unconstitutional in Cook County it's unconstitutional in Champaign County."

Targeted cancer treatment shows real promise
An EU-funded research project is working to overcome current chemotherapy-related challenges, developing a new method which directs drug delivery exclusively to tumours, increasing effectiveness while avoiding side effects. Trials of the new treatment are planned for 2013 and industrial partners are keen to commercialise the biotechnologies resulting from the project.
Latest Eurostat figures show cancer is still a major cause of death across the EU-27, with about 167 fatalities per 100 000 inhabitants in 2010. The most common forms included malignant 'neoplasms' of the larynx, trachea, bronchus and lung, colon and breast.

Kelly Paul Brown, Jr., is facing multiple felony charges after committing crimes at two separate locations in Lauderdale County Saturday night. In the first, Meridian police say he robbed a woman of her purse at knife-point in the Bonita Wal-Mart parking lot. In that case he is charged with armed robbery, but is also facing an aggravated assault charge from the incident as well.
"The aggravated assault warrant comes from the fact that during the incident, the suspect allegedly cut the adult victim's child during the course of the robbery," said Capt. Dean Harper of the MPD.
Rachel Rowe, 29, is also facing an armed robbery charge for driving the car during that incident.
Bond for Brown was set at $500,000 for the armed robbery and $250,000 for the aggravated assault. Rowe's bond was set at $400,000 for the armed robbery.
Just a few hours later, Brown made an appearance at the Clarkdale Superette, where he swiped a donation jar for the family of late Enterprise Police Chief Randy Boykin. In that case, Chief Deputy Ward Calhoun says that the security camera footage helped them determine who they were dealing with.
"He was identified by some of our investigators by the surveillance video at the Clarkdale Superette," said Calhoun. .
The Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department has been searching for Brown for quite a while on an unrelated Burglary warrant, and with coordination from the Meridian Police and Clarke County Sheriff's Department, he was able to be identified as the suspect in both cases and tracked down to Northern Clarke County.
"One of our investigators, as well as well as deputies with the Clarke County Sheriff's Department made contact through a cell phone with him yesterday evening just after 6:00 p.m.," said Calhoun. "We were able to talk to him, and he made a decision to turn himself in."

RDM fighting for Lampard and Cole stay
Roberto Di Matteo claims he is doing 'everything he can' to keep Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole at Chelsea.
Lampard and Cole have been mainstays of the Chelsea side since the title-winning days of Jose Mourinho, but both are in the final year of their contracts and are being linked with moves away.
England full back Cole is a reported target for Paris Saint Germain, while midfielder Lampard has been linked with clubs in China and USA.
Chelsea's long-term future will not involve the pair, but Di Matteo clearly feels they have plenty still to offer.
"They know I'd like them to stay," Di Matteo is quoted as saying in the Sun. "They're fantastic players who have always performed to a high level for us. I'm doing everything I can to keep them here.
"There is always speculation about Frank. There were rumours about him going to the MLS as well. But I'm not aware of him having any dialogue with anyone.
"I hope we offer him a new contract. But ultimately that's between the player and the club to agree.
"I'm not aware how the discussions are going but if there's a willingness from both sides, Frank will remain with us.
"He has been great at Chelsea for over a decade, so it would be nice for him to finish his career here.
"As for Ashley, I'm not aware he speaks French, so I'm not too sure he'll move to Paris!"

* Over the years there have been a number of budget speeches delayed at the request of governors from both parties.
Throughout all of those events, we never realized how fraught with peril the whole process was. After last week, we now know and will never again forget.
As most of you know by now, Gov. PAT QUINN has asked to postpone his budget speech until March 26. He was supposed to deliver it Feb. 19.
You will note, of course, that Feb. 19 falls before the March 18 primary and March 26 falls after it. This gives rise to the political conspiracy theory that Quinn is desperate to keep the lid on his budget plan until after the primary.
Why? Because when he delivers his budget this year, Quinn will finally have to address the fact that a large part of the 2011 income tax increase expires at the end of December, halfway through the budget year. That will immediately cut income tax revenue by $1.3 billion or more, depending on which analysis you trust. That�s a mighty big hole in the budget to fill, especially considering how much complaining is already going on about cuts lawmakers have been forced to make in recent years.
So far, Quinn has done a pretty good job tiptoeing around that issue whenever he�s been asked about it. At least the budget will (presumably) give some sign of how he�s going deal with the lost revenue, or avoid losing the revenue in the first place.
How, exactly, delaying the budget speech helps Quinn before the primary election is less clear. Maybe a misstep on the budget before the primary would cause a tidal wave of Democrats to abandon Quinn and throw their support to his Democratic opponent, the little-known and underfunded TIO HARDIMAN.
There�s an argument that Quinn wants to know who his Republican opponent is before he delivers the speech, which would then be tailored somehow to minimize his opponent. Yeah, whatever.
The official reason from Quinn�s people is that he�s putting together a five-year budget plan, which naturally requires more time to compile.
And then there�s the cynical option offered by people who have seen this administration in operation the past five years. That version pretty much says the administration wasn�t going to be ready to present a budget this month anyway, so if it had to be put off, it might as well be beyond the primary.
* Republicans didn�t want to let Quinn delay his speech. They said it was a political move and, of course, to show the dire effects of a delay, they brought up the schools.
Why, they said, late March is when school districts have to start considering staffing levels for the next school year and begin the layoff process if jobs have to be cut. Their argument was that, if Quinn were allowed to delay the speech, those poor school districts would have no idea what kind of state assistance they could count on next year, which would throw the whole process into chaos.
Oh, please. The state budget is never done until the end of May, whether the budget speech is made on time or delayed. Schools never know in March how much money they�re going to have available next year.
You gotta come up with something better than that.

Possibly, the fact that large numbers of corporate desktops still have IE 6 means that a non-trivial number of Web programmers code to where IE6 will still work, whereas no one is using old Netscape, even for fun, except for this dude.
Really. I work at corporate for a medical system with a few hospitals and clinics...only late last year was IE7 approved for deployment because (finally) a couple of key software vendors supported it. Deployment is still optional at this point in time, but theres talking of making it automatic soon.
We're still trying to get certain software to play nice with IE7 and IE8. Therefore, IE6 is still deployed to all computers.
Deploy IE6 and Chrome Frame. That way, sites that opt in to Chrome will get Chrome, and all other sites will get IE6.
Really this is an apples versus oranges comparison: IE 6 was last updated in 2008. Netscape 6.x in 2002. It's like comparing a Mac G3 versus a modern QuadCore PC. Of COURSE the older technology will not work as well as the new one
If they wanted to do a real comparison, try:
- IE 6 (2008) versus Netscape 9 (also 2008)
- IE 5 (last update: 2000) versus Netscape 4.5 (2001) - both will be about equally broken.
True, but even so, the fact that IE6 was updated 6 years more recently indicates that more people are using it, and even the old unpatched version is more likely to be compatible with current stuff (because a lot of current stuff gets retrofitted to support it, and IE6 has not undergone a major structural change,so writing support for the 2008 version means you're most likely also writing support for the 2001 version).
A lot of web developers still write code to support IE6's peculiarities. That's because a
I didn't read TFA, but did they also use a similarly patched Windows installation? (if it was XP, there should be literally no patches)
I say it matters because a good portion of that makes IE work is built into Windows, so having an updated Windows means having an updated IE...
Also Netscape didn't die (as in no longer being used by people). They split in half to form Netscape and the Mozilla Foundation. Netscape 5 was developed and renamed as Mozilla Communicator, which then split into SeaMonkey Communicator and Firefox Browser.
More accurately a lot of developers are taking great pains to keep IE6 reasonably functional because they don't want to give up that market share.
All this article demonstrates is:
large numbers of corporate desktops still have IE 6
Hah! We don't use that old shit where I work, buddy. We upgraded to IE 6.5 years ago...
We just recently stopped supporting IE6 in our products. A lot of the IE6 compatibility features are still there, we are just not checking new features in our products with IE6 (and a lot of them will still work with IE6 just not confirmed). Last year IE6 testing was limited to making sure the product functionally worked however the niceties such as UI effects were not supported. We test with IE9 Beta. And leaving IE7-8 to be functional, due to its crappy support of CSS.
I just did a clean install of Win2K (IE 5.5) under VM, and put on Netscape 4 for fun. The results weren't pretty. IE 5.5 did pretty well on my sites which made no accommodations for IE at all. Netscape regularly showed blank pages because it choked on the CSS, and some perfectly valid code even made the browser crash.
This perfectly reflects my experience when I was in college. I stopped using Netscape because it was a slow, cranky, crash-prone piece of junk, especially on the Mac. People have fond memories thanks to the nostalgic factor. In reality, Netscape 4 was a direct response to the IE monopoly panic, and the company screwed up big time. They killed themselves.
Apparently, I'm alone in my memories that Netscape wasn't that great a product, thus making it part of yet another VHS vs Betamax.
One thing I liked about NS was that it was multi-threaded. This meant that it was still working while it was redrawing the page, a handy feature in the time of much slower computers and dial up internet. IE always seemed to be getting blocked.
Yeah, this is ridiculous.
IE6 surfs the modern web better because the modern web was built to support IE6 (due to significant market share until very recently).
On technical merits, IE6 "deserved" to die just as much as Netscape, but it was entrenched by virtue of being built into Windows XP, and thus had to be supported.
Up until relatively recently you absolutely had to include whatever hacks were necessary to get IE6 running on your site because it was the default browser on Windows and had a huge market share. Netscape hasn't had that sort of status in a really long time. So of course IE6 probably looks pretty good in comparison.
Now, look at more recent sites that don't include that kludge and see if it still looks OK.
No you didn't. Lazy people where just that, lazy and didn't create website that can handle both.
It's not hard, and it gives a direct upgrade. But no, webmasters whined and stewed in their ignorance instead of actual work.
And yes, I have done just that, many times.
Seriously, when's the last time that anybody bothered to check Netscape compatibility? I mean Firefox has been around since I was in college, and I think by then I didn't know anybody that was using Netscape. I'd be surprised if there were many websites in use then that are still in use now that haven't gone through some pretty significant updates.
While we're at it, why don't we check to see if Mosaic is still workable for browsing the web.
Up until relatively recently you absolutely had to include whatever hacks were necessary to get IE6 running on your site
It's still true, to some extent. The webapp I'm working on was originally supposed to support IE6 because that's what the customer was using.
Unfortunately, infosec has declared that IE6 is a security risk and that having it installed on any machine that can connect to any network is forbidden.
So we tried to convince the customer to upgrade to version 7 while talking with infosec about allowing us to install IE6 on a virtual machine which has limited net access. (No, we can't just install the web app on the
Given the choice, I'd rather have your infosec department over what I'm saddled with...
Our corporate overlords, in their infinite wisdom, decided to outsource our IT department to CGI years ago. Now, whenever something goes wrong, even though I have administrator access to my workstation and am perfectly capable of fixing it myself, I have to file a ticket with CGI, wait a day or two until somebody in Panama looks at the ticket and sends it to the local department in my own city, who may either come in to f
Our new standard approach is to just make sure our sites are USABLE in IE6 (which means you can read everything, and navigate).
But that's all we guarantee now. We no longer care if it looks like crap. No more PNGfixes. No more time spent debugging CSS that works in everything except IE6.
I know a number of other agencies that are taking this approach now too. It's about freakin time.
The reason IE6 still works is because it HAD to work. People made web apps that only work in IE6 and then Microsoft broke the compatibility in every version after. I admit that if companies were more willing to update their apps IE6 would not still be required by some companies, but you tell them they have to spend their money porting apps.
Didn't work, did it?
I would say this is one time we should all be damned happy that MSFT didn't stick with its famous backwards compatibility. Why? One word: ActiveX.
At the time ActiveX sounded like a good idea, an easy way to write code for intranets that could be easily deployed and updated from the corporate office but sadly whomever was in charge of security at MSFT was playing hooky that week and it turned out to be a malware writers wet dream. Thanks to how deeply ActiveX was allowed to hook into the underlying OS simply
The main reason for building web-apps in the first place is that you have a central point where you roll out your applications and you don't need to touch the client. Using ActiveX client-components defeats that. It is lack of an enterprise software architecture that allows this thing to take place. I managed to get my CIO to back me up on this in our company around 2001 (we called it "webbased programming standards", nowadays I'd call it our "Enterprise architecture requirements for webbased software"), an
So we should all be glad that someone at MSFT got the memo and realized that ActiveX was a seriously BAD idea and killed it deader than Dixie.
I hate to break it for you, but IE9 supports ActiveX.
Considering IE6 has had an unduly long life in today's software world, it's no surprise. There are still businesses out there that rely with almost thumb-sucking adherence to keeping their sites IE6 compatible.
I'm firmly in the camp of letting IE6 have the browser wars, and letting it graze peacefully into the great software pasture in the sky, but alas, we're nowhere near that area yet.
Considering how much life IE6 still has in it on the internet, and how much of the web was deliberately broken to be "best viewed in internet explorer" and the length of IE6's dominance, I'm not surprised people are creating pages that are mostly compatible with it.
Netscape, however, was pushed out by loads of incompatible web pages and a failure to keep up. So yeah, IE6 is going to still work while Netscape is going to be broken. Thankfully, we have a much more diverse base of browsers that basically drive
IE6 in all its horror is supported by most frameworks BECAUSE corporate desktops and mindless consumers stayed on it for so very long.
Ah, I see that mine is not a minority opinion.
"Mindless consumers" upgraded, either because they bought new PCs that came with IE7 or IE8, or because Windows Update would update their browser for them, or because they'd get a dialog box offering to upgrade their browser, click Yes, install some piece of malware toolbarness and have to uninstall IE entirely and upgrade to a new version to kill it off.
Corporate desktops, yeah, because the corporations were using applications developed for IE6 (using toolsets that were specifically incompatible with Mozil
This week I had to do a Win 98 install to test some software. My install came with IE4 and I had some fun trying various sites to see what would and wouldn't work. It was interesting to see how well (and not well) sites degraded to an utter crap view.
IE4? That's nothing. In my time... [illinois.edu]
Hi OzPeter! I hope you don't mind my asking but I just got to know WTF are you testing that you needed to test for Win98 compatibility. I mean having to service some seriously ancient crap but even I haven't come across a Win9X machine in 4 years.
In fact the last Win9X machine I came across actually being used (it was WinME eeek!) was an old graphics artist that used it for Macromedia Xres. I had to build him an NOS (new, old stock) Win2K PC with a 1.8GHz AMD Athlon along with 1Gb of RAM and a 80Gb HD, all
So i just got to know WTH else is out there that actually needs Win9x support?
We have HVAC monitoring software that will not run on anything newer that W98. It was running on an old laptop in a dirty elevator machinery room, and unsuprisingly it finally died (last year). The oldest machine we had available was a Dell Optiplex 270 (made in about 2005), which was lucky, because that was probably one of the last devices w98 could possibly be installed on. After we got that in service we had to figure out what to do if that one fails (being a Dell it will, soon).
So we now are the prou
Well if Netscape won... You would still be writting non-standard stuff... Remember Layers vs. IE Css.
I think I can see the actual web page. Its just there underneath the 15 toolbars which magically came out of nowhere.
Posted from SeaMonkey [seamonkey-project.org]. Personally I still like having an HTML editor, browser and email client all in one package.
If you had a Win98 machine that you'd like to access the web from occasionally, what would be the best browser to do so? Firefox 2.0? Are there any projects still targeting OSs this old? What about something really crazy, like Mac OS 7? Or Amiga OS?
If you're in Mac OS 9 Classilla [floodgap.com] is a relatively up to date port of Mozilla. I've used it a few times and it's quite nice.
Until a couple years ago iCab was still supported on 68k Macs.
Timberwolf [amigabounty.net] appears to be Firefox for Amigas, granted you probably won't get it running on your 500.
Lynx still runs on pretty much anything if you're willing to compile it, and one can argue it's kept up to date.
Opera 10 is probably the most recent browser for Win 98 support.
The original Opera was wonderful - the install image only used half a floppy disk, and it was really fast! It took me a while to accept tabbed browsing (Opera's original tabbed-only was annoying, but being able to have tabs and windows both is great.)
If you install a little addon called KernelEx in Win98, you can use up to at least Firefox 3.x just fine on it. Haven't tried the 4.x betas as yet, but 3.x works. Thunderbird should work too
Chrome doesn't seem to work yet in KernelEx but it tries. Maybe someday.
I still use Mac OS 7.x on an old LC475 for fun, and tend to alternate between Netscape 4 with Stylesheets and JS turned off, and the last version of iCab that supports m68k. Netscape was actually very usable for general reading, and worked better tha
The most recent Firefox you can use day to day on win98se is 184.108.40.206. Firefox 188.8.131.52 will install and run, but, in at least one ancient install I have to pamper, it won't run the next time you boot the machine without removal and reinstallation; you only get one good run per install (so make it good).
So, Netscape 6.1 used the Mozilla 0.9.2.1 rendering engine.
For reference, Firefox (nee Phoenix) 0.1 used the Mozilla 1.1 rendering engine. Firefox 3.6.13 uses the Mozilla 220.127.116.11 rendering engine.
Needless to say, the commonly used version of Mozilla's rendering engine has been constantly updated, while IE6 still has market-share to this day.
So, not surprisingly, web site authors don't make sites for ancient Mozilla versions, while they do for ancient IE versions.
He's comparing a Javascript benchmark in a virtual machine to one on his Windows 7 native install.
Yeah, because the 10% loss in performance would make that big of a difference.
After AOL bought Netscape, they decided to keep the Netscape browser on life support (but strangle it anyway) by releasing versions 6.0 and later, which were cut from the maturing Mozilla 5 codebase:
At this point (May 2005) Netscape was irrelevant, as Firefox had taken over among the tech savvy, and word was spreading beyond us. Also, AOL had seen fit to saddle Netscape with ugly, ad-infested themes.
The 6x and 7x lines were premature at best, almost as if they were designed to nail the brand's coffin shut, which they did.

Similarly, Top Gear should do an episode where they try to see how practical early-1900s cars are in today's world. Think of all the manual crank-starting, rear-only belt-braking, 1WD fun to be had at speeds of up to 30mph.
Maybe they've already done something like this and I just don't know about it.

The Netscape name has died a death but its engine, Mozilla, is approaching 30% usage now.
There's a very good reason you can still surf with IE6, and that's because most web devs like myself still have to bloody support it. It hung around for so long that even now I'm still having to put specific IE6 fixes into everything I do. I'm willing to bet if you took away all the IE6 specific javascript and css from every website then the results would be completely reversed. I can't remember what the Moz 0.9 engine
no such thing.
At most it shows the most 'web master' are complete idiots.
It turns out IE6 is still capable of surfing much of the modern Internet, and can play Flash and Java content, but Netscape's troubles show it probably died a justified death."
Well, if IE6 had died instead of Netscape, then the "Netscape standard" might be able to surf the modern web, did you think about that ?
And we would all be talking about "the time when Microsoft tried to pervertise the Internet browser market."
All this means is that an unmodified version of Netscape 6 didn't stand the test of time as well. Netscape 6 (and up) was based on the same underlying software as Mozillla/SeaMonkey and Firefox. Were Netscape still being updated today, it would be running a newer version of Gecko, making it a very capable browser.
I recently did the following. On an old laptop I installed Windows 95. Then IE4 and Netscape Communicator 4.08
I couldn't browse anything. I mean, not even microsoft.com.
And like the common cold, it's not going to cause as much damage as say, smallpox - even though there's no cure for it yet.
I did exactly that last year in a Virtual PC VM. ISTR I had to install IE, Win32s, and MS's 16-bit TCP/IP stack to get it all working. The result was surprisingly usable, considering the OS dates from the early '90s. Not to say that it rendered everything well, or that it didn't crash, but it was an interesting exercise in retrocomputing.
It did a lot better than Mosaic 3 on WinXP, which would crash upon loading

Different export file formats - HDF5
Different export file formats - HDF5Posted by AJP at February 06. 2010
I'd like to be able to do one of two things. I have written out my geometry and mesh in *.unv format. I would like to see if anybody can email the file format for this in English. Or, ideally I would to suggest for the future, or is it planned, that additional more open file formats be provided for export, ideally HDF5. And on that point, does anybody have any scripts that can be loaded that will convert /write out an HDF5 file from inside Salome?
So basically, HDF5, can we have it as an input and output format? Or, does any body have any scripts that can do this instead? If no to these two can anybody provide me with the file format for the unv file format so I can write my own reader? I'm happy to substitute HDF5 for any other more open format my only requirement would be that it maintains the complex group information that I've spent ages defining in Salome both for the geometry and the mesh - the grouping is essential for me for boundary condition specification further down the line, and I'd need to keep that. So if that can be done but not in HDF5 and we can have that more open format as an export and import option that would be great - has to be open though because the first thing I need to do is then write a reader, or at least link to library that can read that is format which is LGPL.
Many thanks
Re: Different export file formats - HDF5Posted by Christophe Bourcier at February 08. 2010
Well, MED actually is a HDF5 format. You can browse a MED file with hdfview to see its HDF5 structure.
The meshes are under "ENS_MAA".
The fields are under "CHA".
Re: Different export file formats - HDF5Posted by AJP at February 08. 2010
So I got that working myself over the weekend after my post. The part that got me was the naming. I'm assuming not English?? Any chance of that changing? Or could you give me a complete run down of the short name against what's actually in the file?? i.e. CHA = field variables.... I'd really appreciate that, I couldn't quite figure it out, and I'd like to use it.
Is this full HDF5 compatible?? i.e. Can I take any library that operates on HDF5 and just use it as is without the need to change anything, apart from the file name?
Finally, and importantly, are all the groups etc. written to that file?
Thanks for the info,
Re: Different export file formats - HDF5Posted by Christophe Bourcier at February 09. 2010
You're right, the descriptors are short names for french words. You can find all the short names in the file include/med_outils.h
I don't know if there is a documentation to directly use the hdf api to read/write med files. But there is an english documentation to use the med api (posted on this forum a few months ago). And the med format answers your needs since its an open format, using the LGPL license. It's a higher level api to write hdf files containing meshes and fields, using fortran, c or python code.
All the groups are written to that file, you can check it by exporting and importing a med file in SMESH.

Niehaus, Kural receive Scholar-Athlete awards
Updated 11:22 pm, Tuesday, June 11, 2013
Striking the delicate balance between academics and sports can often be a difficult task for student athletes.
Yet Greenwich High School's Blake Niehaus and Rebecca Kural had little trouble doing so during their senior year.
Niehaus and Kural received the Scholar-Athlete awards by the CIAC at its annual banquet last month at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington. The CIAC selected one male and female athlete from each member high school as scholar-athletes.
"It was definitely really exciting to receive the award," said Kural, a forward on Greenwich's girls varsity basketball team. "Blake is a good friend of mine, so I was happy to see him receive the award too."
Kural, who will attend the University of Chicago in the fall, was a part of the Cardinals' basketball team's resurgence this past season. A quad-captain, Kural brought a presence in the low post to the Cardinals, who finished 9-10 and qualified for the CIAC Class LL Tournament for the first time in more than 10 years. When the games and practices concluded each day, Kural made it a point to quickly hit the books -- especially the nights the team was on the road.
"I got made fun of sometimes for reading a book for homework, but it was something I had to do," laughed Kural. "The away games were tough, it was tiring. But being part of a team helped me organize my time better."
Kural, whose favorite subjects are math, history and physics, plans on pursuing math and politcal science in college. She'll miss her days at Greenwich High.
"I made my best friends here," she said. "I had some awesome teachers at Greenwich High and my dad and grandfather went to Greenwich, so it's in the family. Graduation will be kind of a sad day."
A starter on the Cardinals boys tennis team for four seasons, Niehaus was recognized as one of the top singles players in the state. Successfully rotating at first and second singles, Niehaus helped lead Greenwich to its 11th FCIAC title in 12 years and eighth Class LL title in nine seasons. After the Cards won the LL crown, he competed in the State Open, advancing to the semifinal round of the singles bracket. This fall, Niehaus will bring his tennis skills to Dartmouth College.
"It's been a challenging spring, especially the last two years," Niehaus said. "With SATs taking place my junior year during the spring season and the AP courses that went on in May it was a pretty hectic time. It required a lot of time and work in some ways, to structure my schedule. I had to manage myself as far as when I needed to be playing tennis and when I needed to do school work."
Niehaus, who enjoys social studies and science, believes attending GHS has prepared him to also be a student athlete at the collegiate level.
"I'm very happy with the four years I had at Greenwich High," said Niehaus, who also played in tournaments throughout the year on the USTA circuit. "Greenwich offered the most challenging courses and AP classes and really gave you the opportunity to challenge yourself as much as you wanted. The exposure I received to the work level and commitment I'm going to have to make in college was valuable."
