Managing Server Access with Contribute
In order to control workflow, Contribute installs a file in a specific folder at the root of any Web site you connect to. This file, called the Shared Settings File, enables Contribute to store all the settings you choose when you administer the Web site. Whenever you make a change to one of the user groups or any of the other site settings the change gets stored in this centrally located file.
The Shared Settings File enables you to create various groups within a site and to modify the access levels for each of these groups individually without having to send new connection files to the users each time you make a change. For example, you define a group called Editors and give the users the right to add images to pages. Later, you decide that maybe it wasn't a good idea to let them add images. You create another group called Designers, let them add images, and prohibit the Editors group from adding images. Without sending the Editors new connection files, you disabled their access to images, saved yourself some time, and gave the designers something to do.
The Shared Settings File
The Shared Settings File is nothing more than a plain text XML file that holds the settings for the Contribute site connection. After you complete setup, Contribute automatically creates a directory named _mm and places the Share Settings File (an XML text file) within it.
Tempting as it may be for some, do not modify the Shared Settings File manually. Contribute expects the settings file to have a specific format. It is possible to make a change to the file that Contribute does not understand and lose all the settings as a result. Change settings and permissions from within Contribute to avoid headaches.
Using rollback files to back up pages
One of the many features available with Contribute is that of keeping various versions — or backup copies — automatically when editing and publishing Web pages. This feature is especially useful when someone makes a mistake while editing a page and you want to go back and use a previous version. Contribute automatically saves key information within another directory, labeled _baks, created at the root of the Web site.
For the rollback feature to function properly, the _baks directory and any files it contains should not be deleted.
Keeping Your Settings Secure
Because Contribute stores many of the most important files, the setting and record-keeping files, in directories whose names begin with an underscore (for example _mm), making sure that people browsing the Web site can't access these directories by mistake or, even worse, on purpose is very important.
If your Web site is being served by a computer running Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS),these folders probably are already secure because IIS is automatically configured to prevent access to folders named in this manner. Many other commercial Web servers are also set up to act this way. Unfortunately, Apache's Web server (one of the world's more popular Web servers) is not among them. If you're using an Apache Web server, you need to set it up yourself to disallow access to any files you want to protect. Because configuring Apache settings is not a part of Contribute's features, consult your Apache Administrator's guide or visit The Apache Server Project for more information.

Archiving organizations take on the big job of preserving .gov sites before a new administration arrives
NARA: Preserving Web records is up to each agency
FIVE FEDERAL, educational and private archiving organizationshave partnered to crawl the Web, gathering data from sites in the.gov domain to create an endof- term snapshot for posterity.
The ambitious Web harvest is an effort to preserve millions ofpages of government Web sites that are in danger of disappearing,or at least changing, when a new administration comes into officeJan. 20.
'No matter who wins [the presidential election], we expectthere will be changes in the policies governing Web sites,'said Abbie Grotke, coordinator of digital media projects for theLibrary of Congress' Office of Strategic Initiatives.
Much of what exists online now is liable to disappear regardlessof policy, as sites are updated on a regular basis, sometimesdaily.
LOC has been doing monthly crawls of congressional Web sitessince late 2003. However, 'there is a bit of a gap in who isresponsible for archiving the executive and judicial branches atthe end of the term,' said Kris Carpenter, Web group directorat the Internet Archives.
To fill that gap, LOC, the Internet Archives, the CaliforniaDigital Library and the University of North Texas, with some helpfrom the Government Printing Office, have taken on the job.
'Nobody told us we needed to do it, but we realized therewas nobody else tasked to do this,' Grotke said. 'Weall thought it was important to do.'
'It would be a tragedy if we didn't attempt topreserve this,' Carpenter said.
All of the organizations are members of the InternationalInternet Preservation Consortium and frequently cooperate onsimilar projects.
The project is a big one. The Internet Archives estimates thatit will gather some 125 million pages from around 5,000 sites.Estimates of the total volume of data to be collected range from 10to 20 terabytes.
Each organization is contributing according to its expertise.LOC will focus on development of its archives for the project; theInternet Archives began a comprehensive baseline crawl of the .govdomain in August and will do a second crawl before inaugurationday; the University of North Texas and the California DigitalLibrary will focus on prioritizing sites that need more frequentattention and doing more indepth crawls; and the GPO federaldepository library program is offering advice on curating thecollection.
Now you see it ...
The online world presents a paradox. We often are warned thatonce something appears online it never really disappears and thatincautious statements can come back to haunt us years after theyare made. But at the same time, online data is ephemeral,constantly changing and moving even if we cannot be sure that ithas ever been expunged. This makes finding and documenting it forfuture reference difficult.
Because they are dynamic, 'all Web sites are atrisk,' Carpenter said.
The Internet Archives was established in 1996 to make digitalmaterial permanently available. The collection is not intended tobe comprehensive, Carpenter said. 'It doesn't includeeverything. We're really focused on digital heritage,'that is, how society manifests itself online.
The collection now consists of a petabyte of compressed data andis expected to expand by multiple petabytes a year. To access thedata, the Internet Archives has developed the Wayback Machine, anopen-source online tool used by entering the URL and date of anarchived site. Once in a site, hyperlinks can be followed.
The University of North Texas has set a similar, if more limited,mission.
'We've been involved in capturing public governmentWeb sites since 1997, when we started the CyberCemetery,'said Cathy Hartman, assistant dean of digital and informationtechnologies. 'We are a federal depository library, and welooked at this as part of the role that the department should befilling.'
The CyberCemetery originally archived Web sites from agenciesthat were shutting down after hitting the end of life, or at leastthe end of their funding. The project began by going out andlooking for these sites, and as word of its mission spread,agencies began contacting the cemetery to contribute sites forpreservation. 'Now we are harvesting agencies that are notdying,' Hartman said.
The CyberCemetery's collection is not officiallysanctioned, but the university and GPO have developed guidelinesspecifically for collecting and preserving digital material.
The online environment has evolved rapidly, Hartman said.'When Clinton came to office [in 1992], there was almostnothing available on government Web sites.' Today, manygovernment services are offered online and millions of pages ofofficial information are maintained online.
The university did a fairly extensive harvest of .gov sites fouryears ago, but this year's project is more extensive. One ofthe first challenges it faced was coming up with a list of Websites to crawl and harvest. Compiling that list is an ongoing task,but once the duplicates and inappropriate sites are removed, itprobably will be about 4,200 sites, said Mark Phillips, head of theUniversity of North Texas' digital projects unit.
'One of the problems we had is that there are multipleorganizations involved, and each of us had a different list of the.gov domain,' Phillips said. 'But nobody had acomprehensive list.'
The California Digital Library, for instance, had a broad listthat included many state government sites that are outside thescope of this project. So the university developed the URLNomination Tool (UNT) to help create an authoritative list. It is aWeb-based tool developed with the Django open-source Web frameworkwith a MySQL opensource database on the back end.
'It's a way to add a little bit of metadata'about the URLs and Web sites being considered, Phillips said.'The biggest challenge in building the tool was the datamodel.' Creating a user interface was easy, but it took timeto come up with a common data model that would accommodate thevarious types of information included in URL lists from differentsources.
The UNT was created specifically for the end-of-term harvestbecause of the size of the project and the number of collaboratorsinvolved. But creating a list of target sites is 'a processthat happens every time you do a big crawl,' Phillips said.'This is a tool that we will be able to use in otherprojects. We're hoping to release it as an open-source toolfor the Web harvest community.'
Cooperation not guaranteed
Crawling the Web and gathering pages from the sites are nottechnically difficult. The Internet Archives is using its Heritrixopen-source crawler designed for massive Web-scale crawls. Itstarts with the list of seed addresses from the URL Nominator andvisits each of them, following up links within each domain andcrawling them as well. The job is complicated by the fact that manysites are dynamic, with content for a single page hosted ondifferent servers. The activity of the crawler is monitored toavoid getting caught in a loop of links or other mishaps.
The cooperation of Web site owners is helpful when doing a crawlto harvest data, and some provide site maps for crawlers to helpthem on their way.
But 'we don't always get cooperation,'Carpenter said. Whitehouse.gov is an example of an uncooperativesite. Although the Internet Archives generally respects the privacyof site owners who do not want to participate in its harvests,those sites that the Archives considers public, such as the WhiteHouse site, get included whether they like it or not.
Once the baseline material has been gathered, archivists andresearchers at the University of North Texas and California DigitalLibrary will identify sites likely to change frequently by January,which will be followed up with more frequent harvests.
Nobody expects the results to be comprehensive. 'Wecan't at this stage afford to capture everything as itchanges, in real time,' Carpenter said. 'But we doinvest heavily to create a representative snapshot at any giventime.'
Once the harvest is complete, each partner in the project willget a complete copy of the material, although the Internet Archivesis expected to be the main point of access for the collection. Itis expected to be available online by March or April. The 10 to 20terabytes of the .gov end-ofterm collection will be just a smallpart of the petabyte of data the Internet Archives already ismaking available, but it will be a huge addition for the otherinstitutions.
'I think we're going to end up with more data thanwe're equipped to deal with,' the University of NorthTexas' Phillips said.
Even the Internet Archives faces limits on how its largecollections can be used. Its current access technology, the WaybackMachine, works more like a browser than a search engine, requiringa URL to find material. So although the end-ofterm collection willbe included in the archives' general collection, it probablywill also be broken out as a separate special collection that couldbe searched.
But even as a separate collection, the end-of-term harvest mightbe approaching the upper limit of what is feasible to search withcurrent search engines. Searching a group of pages that havechanged over time is different from using Google to do a search ofthe live Web, which covers only current pages.
'We've been fairly happy with tools that have scaledto the hundreds of millions of documents,' Carpenter said.But once you get to a billion documents, the quality of searchresults drops off quickly.
Mining such massive collections is the next big step in Internetpreservation, Hartman said. She said the university has yet notdecided whether it will use tools to pull together subject-specificcontent in a search or to break the collection up into smaller setsby subject matter.
'We may have to have separate collections,' shesaid. 'Experiment and research will tell for sure.'
That could be the next project for this team. 'We arehoping to find some funding for research in that area,'Hartman said. 'There's a strong interest among ourpartners in that.'

FEC: OK to fundraise via text
The Federal Election Commission on Monday night unanimously voted to allow Americans to make political donations via text message, making Androids, iPhones and BlackBerrys the newest weapon in the battle to raise unprecedented amounts of money.
Both parties, as well as campaign finance reform advocates, say the move will allow Americans of modest means to play a greater role in a democratic process dominated this election cycle by billionaires and multimillionaires and political organizations such as super PACs that may raise and spend money without restriction.
Story Continued Below
The decision will take effect immediately, although it may be days or weeks before the system is fully functional. Individual phone numbers will be capped at $50 worth of donations per billing cycle per political candidate or committee.
Texting a political donation will be akin to what many charities already do in asking people to text a short message to a five-digit number in support of a cause.
Upon doing so, a donor has a fixed amount of money — often $10, sometimes more — charged to his or her account. The process takes a matter of seconds in contrast to comparatively clunkier methods, such as writing a paper check or using a credit card after filling out an online donation form.
A presidential or congressional candidate, lording over a high-energy rally, might urge a throng of hundreds or thousands to pull out their phones and contribute that very moment. Instant cash.
Likewise, political action committees could solicit text message-based donations through their broadcast and online advertisements, giving them easy streams of political cash.
From the outset, most of the six FEC commissioners — both those appointed by Republicans and Democrats — expressed support for the donations-by-text concept. But Democrat-appointed commissioners raised several concerns about the logistics surrounding donations by text, such as how to prevent scofflaws and foreign nationals from exceeding contribution limits or using multiple, disposable cellphones in order to make illegal donations.
Lawyers for companies Red Blue T, ArmourMedia and m-Qube, which this year asked the FEC to consider the matter, largely allayed these and other concerns commissioners had about contribution accounting.
Political campaigns and committees also have the ability to "block text message contributions from any cellphone at any time for any reason," m-Qube attorneys Craig Engle and Brett G. Kappel told the FEC.

Ten Tips for Getting More Plant-Based Foods in Your Mediterranean Diet
The biggest concept behind a Mediterranean-style diet is adding more plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, herbs, legumes, and even whole grains, to every meal. Fruits and vegetables are the main components of this push; you want to have five to eight servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Here are ten tips for accomplishing that goal:
Keep sliced vegetables on hand
One of the easiest ways to consume more veggies is to eat them raw as snacks. The key to making it simple is to pre-slice a bunch of different vegetables, such as bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots, for the week at one time. Then you can grab some of the veggies and your favorite healthy dip (such as hummus) for an instant healthy snack. In addition, you can throw whatever cut veggies you don't use as snacks into a soup, pasta dish, salad, or some scrambled eggs.
Include a fruit or vegetable with every meal
You can find all sorts of creative ways to make this step happen. For example, you can spruce up your sandwich with dark leafy greens and tomatoes, add some fruit to your morning yogurt, or slice up some raw veggies as a side dish.
Keep a fruit bowl on your counter
Reverse the old mantra "out of sight, out of mind"; you want to go for "in sight, in mind." Keep a fruit bowl on your counter to remind you to eat some fruit during the day with your meals or as a snack. If you have kids, you may be surprised how much more fruit they eat when it's in plain sight. Don't just settle for a few bananas; fill the bowl up with all kinds of fresh, seasonal fruit so that you have choices and aren't left with the same type of fruit every day.
Add fruit to your cereals
Adding fruit to your cereals is a great strategy that gives your meal more flavor and makes it more satisfying. Slice up any sort of fresh fruit, such as bananas, nectarines, or peaches, or sprinkle some fresh berries on your cereal or oatmeal. Dried fruit is also a wonderful choice and is easy to store in your pantry. Just choose dried fruits with no added sugars.
Dress up your salad with fresh fruits and vegetables
Don't settle for a boring old leafy green salad. You can create a savory or sweet masterpiece by incorporating some fruits and veggies. For example, add sliced bell peppers, tomatoes, and fresh herbs, such as dill, for a savory experience. Sweeten up another salad by adding mandarin orange slices along with some walnuts. Salads in general are a great way to up your plant food intake. Use salads frequently as an additional vegetable side or as your entree with some kind of protein (such as chicken or egg).
Sneak veggies and herbs into your egg dishes
You can use vegetables to add tons of flavor and texture to the most basic egg dishes. Chop up fresh tomatoes (okay, those are technically a fruit), fresh spinach, onions, or even zucchini. If you have leftover steamed veggies, they're perfect to throw into an egg dish the next morning.
You can also add fresh herbs to the mix to add significant flavor. Basil, parsley, and oregano are all great flavors with eggs. Fresh salsa is also an excellent addition to egg dishes.
Punch up your pasta with fresh produce
Even if you already use a vegetable-based sauce such as marinara, you can up the vegetable quotient by adding blanched broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. Doing so adds more variety and helps you eat less pasta than you may otherwise. And don't forget about herbs! Fresh herbs can turn your pasta dish into something spectacular. Experiment and see what types of blends work well for you. One idea: Next time you're eating a pasta salad, try adding some fresh basil leaves.
Start off with a little vegetable soup
Beginning a meal with a cup of vegetable soup is an easy strategy for adding more vegetables and helping with weight management. Use low-calorie vegetable or tomato soup as a starter for your meals. The soup can help you feel full and satisfied so that you eat less of the main meal.
Supercharge soups and stews with whole grains
You can add some flavor and texture to soups and stews by incorporating whole grains into them. Adding whole grains like whole-wheat pasta or pearl bailey to plain vegetable soup can re-create a side dish as a complete meal. Whole grains provide fiber and other healthful nutrients and add to the variety of plant-based foods you take in during your day.
Add beans to, well, everything
Beans are versatile, flavorful, and easy to use with many different dishes. Look for ways to include them every day. Always keep some dried and canned beans on hand in your pantry. You can rinse canned beans and add them to soups, stews, salads, pasta dishes, and grain dishes.

Trial By Dirt is a side mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City which is triggered when jumping on the parked Sanchez on the dirt track in Downtown. It is a checkpoint mission, but it has no time limit. To complete this mission, you must clear each checkpoint without destroying your bike or dismounting too long from your bike. There is a health pickup nearby on the track, in case Tommy falls off and gets injured. If you enter the Landstalker instead, a similar mission entitled Test Track will start, the reverse of this mission but is a bit harder since it will fail you if you flip the car or bail.
The first four times around the track, a few bikers in unique black Sanchez dirtbikes will chase you. The fifth time, there will be a security guard in a black Rancher.
You can keep playing this mission once you've completed it. Each time you beat your time record, you receive a higher prize (in money).
Due to a bug in the game, the initial scores of both Trial By Dirt and Test Track will have the same time results once both scores are listed in stats. Once you play the missions again and beat each time, the scores will be individual as they should be.

Exhibitionism R Us
Anyone who has read all three detects a dark note. Anyway, she's going to tie them together for you tomorrow.
Because tonight she is just too tired!
So instead she is falling onto a photograph: the interior of her refrigerator! Now, she thinks she got this idea from the car guys on NPR, but can't really remember. But the gist is to see how people 'read' someone's car -- or refrigerator. What kind of person frequents this? Hippy-dippy? Time-driven and practical? Conservative or a dreamer? Etcetera.
Whaddya think? She's letting her fridge speak volumes! Is the Matron a neat-freak, health-nut or junk food junkie? Other options? The refrigerator might be as revealing as the medicine cabinet.
And hers doesn't just feed any old child. No, these nutrients must power the boy who will not settle for the ordinary, run-of-the-mill bury your brother in the sand. Today, Stryker was hell-bent on burying Merrick --standing up.
If you detect some intensity, purpose and drive in those sand-scooping arms, you'd be an apt observer. Hope the fridge scan goes just as well!
Don't be shy. Flaunt your fridge on your own blog! She'll be watching (and probably linking).
Literary pursuits, tomorrow.

Your fridge tells me you aren't OCD or an annoying neat freak. But you do eat with some deliberation--with thought about what's healthy. Even more, your food choices (so like those in my own fridge) reveal a consumer who has been well marketed to by the organic movement...a certain upscale sort of organic movement, of course! Hee. I had to stop fretting over my fridge's current lack of Annie's Gingerly Vinaigrette long enough to type this, you know.

Employment report no reason to change strategy
John Maynard Keynes, the economist, was sometimes criticized for changing his mind. Never at a loss for words, he supposedly replied, "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"
Today's jobs report is no reason for investors to change their minds about the economy. The U.S. added 175,000 jobs in May, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, vs. Wall Street estimates of 165,000. While encouraging, that isn't enough to change the belief that the economy is growing slowly and that the Federal Reserve will continue to keep interest rates low.
The unemployment rate rose slightly to 7.6%, from 7.5% in April. Labor force participation, an important measure of the employment situation, rose imperceptibly to 63.4% from 63.3% in April.
"It says the economy is doing well, but is the Fed going to taper? Not really," says Paul Edelstein, director of economics for IHS Global Insight. "I'm going to wait and see what happens over the summer to see what the Fed might do in September."
MARKETS:Stocks up sharply on May jobs report
EMPLOYMENT REPORT:U.S. employers add 175,000 jobs; jobless rate moves up
For investors, this means:
• Your money funds and bank CDs will yield next to nothing until at least next year. The Fed has no reason to raise its key fed funds rate any time soon.
• Bonds and bond funds will eventually see higher yields and lower prices -- but not soon. Sooner or later, you're going to have to move money from bond funds, but you don't have to do it all today.
• Stocks have already had a big move: The Dow Jones industrial average has soared 14.78% this year. While they are not wildly overvalued, they're not cheap, either. Lower interest rates, however, make stocks more attractive vs. bonds and money funds, and more money is likely to pour into stocks and stock funds over the next few months.

It was history in the making: the Japanese government finally decided last week on a new energy and environment strategy involving a complete phase out of nuclear power across the country by the 2030s.
And then came the fine print.
The government hastily added last weekend that the phase out referred to all plants except for the three currently under construction. The government backpedalled marginally on Wednesday, conceding that the phase out might not actually occur in the 2030s or 40s following strong lobbying from business groups.
So where does that leave the strategy?
Without doubt, the plan has been weakened, but the basic thrust is that the government, the Democratic Party of Japan (DJP), is still committed (link in Japanese) to making Japan a nuclear-free society in the next 30 years.
Although the government is being vague by attempting to please all its critics, the landmark announcement remains mostly intact.
While it was not perfect in the first place and has been weakened further, it still represents a big step forward for a country that was looking to increase its reliance on nuclear power to 50% just 18 months ago.
Some critics have since labelled the DPJ's zero nukes policy as a 'climate disaster', arguing it will destroy Japan's ability to cut its greenhouse gas emissions because it will rely more heavily on coal, oil and gas to power its high-tech, but resource poor economy.
While it is true that Japan's emissions have jumped in the short-term, the Japanese people have proven that they are both willing and able to save enough power for Japan to continue with no nuclear plants online, and with no power shortages.
Given that renewable solutions are already being rolled out rapidly, the medium to long-term doom and gloom is unjustified.
If the government sticks to its pledge and does not extend the lives of existing plants, it has at least 18 to 22 years by its vague schedule to make the switch to renewable solutions. Germany's clean energy revolution has taken less than a quarter of that so far, and it is already generating close to 50% of its energy from clean solutions on good days.
Importantly, Japan's population is projected to decline by 30 percent between now and 2060. That's around 800,000 fewer people using electricity each year, averaged out, and by the time the last nuclear plants are switched off there would be fewer than 100 million people compared with 127.8 million people in 2011.
That would mean a lot less electricity would be used, especially after 28 years of energy efficiency measures and renewable deployments.
With such a huge fall off in electricity use and with 90% of the public calling for a nuclear free future, a renewable energy system, such as that outlined in Greenpeace's Energy [R]evolution, is the best way forward for Japan.
Getting there, however, will require an equally significant revolution in thinking in Japanese economic and political circles. For decades, they have been wedded to the idea that nuclear is Japan's saviour, but with the true costs of nuclear power becoming clearer everyday, the change to an energy future based on renewables is inevitable.

I believe politicians in Japan are afraid they will lose the upcoming elections if they promote nuclear energy too openly.
Their concerns will probably be much less after the elections, when they will be granted a mandate lasting several years.
In order to prevent another Fukushima Japanese citizens need to consider carefully whom they give their vote to.

Mallett began his rugby career with a call up to the Western Province Currie Cup team whilst a student at Cape Town University in the late 1970s. Mallett moved to Oxford University in 1979 and won blues in rugby and cricket, once dispatching the great Ian Botham for three sixes in an over during a friendly against Somerset, before returning to play for Western Province.
Between 1982 and 1985 Mallett was part of the side that won four consecutive Currie Cups, and he was rewarded with two Springbok caps in 1984 against the touring South American Jaguars.
Mallett's coaching career began with St Claude in France, a small side in the Jura Mountains whom Mallett played for and coached for five seasons before moving to Boulogne-Billancourt in Paris.
In 1994 Mallett returned to South Africa and took up a post with False Bay Rugby Club, before moving on to coach the unfashionable Boland Cavaliers to a narrow defeat in the Currie Cup quarter-finals. Following two seasons with Boland, Mallett secured an assistant coach position with the South African national side in 1996, before taking control the following season.
He took the reins following the Springboks' damaging series loss to the Lions and poor Tri Nations and led them to a world record equalling 17 consecutive Test victories and a Tri Nations crown. Mallett's side had peaked early, and their disappointing 1999 World Cup was compounded by the exclusion of talismanic captain Gary Teichmann following a falling out with Mallett. In 2000 Mallett accused the SARU of "greed" over inflated ticket prices, and resigned his post pending a hearing over charges of bringing the game into disrepute
His return to rugby was again in France, with Stade Francais. The club was rich in cash and facilities but light on silverware upon his arrival, and he subsequently won consecutive Top 14 titles in 2003 and 2004. Mallett again returned to Western Province in 2004, this time as director of rugby.
Having been linked with an England role in 2006, Mallett returned to the international rugby as the new coach of Italy ahead of the 2008 Six Nations. Italy were only able to register a single win and the following year Italy finished bottom again, after a disappointing campaign with Mallett's selection of flanker Mauro Bergamasco at scrum-half against England leading to much criticism of the coach.
However, there were clear signs that under Mallett's control Italy were making up ground on the international stage. And during the 2011 campaign, despite a thumping away to England, Italy continued to make progress, coming close to upsetting Ireland and Wales at home before clinching a historic 22-21 at home against France.
Despite that historic result, the Italian Rugby Federation (FIR) decided it was time for a change of personnel and lined up Perpignan coach Jacques Brunel to take over the side which he did following the 2011 Rugby World Cup where Italy failed to progress past the Pool stages. Mallett reportedly turned down the chance to take charge of French side Toulon following the World Cup and was subsequently linked with the England coaching job. However he missed out on the England head coach role as the Rugby Football Union favoured Stuart Lancaster.

Notes from Game 16
Brian Tallet's overall numbers this spring have not been pretty. The Blue Jays lefty knows that as well as anyone, but he is quick to point out what any veteran pitcher should keep in mind.
Spring Training results don't always show how well a player is performing. For pitchers, the goal during spring is to build up stamina and work on pitches. Sometimes that leads to distorted numbers on the scoreboard.
"We're here to work on stuff and to get stuff ready for April 5," Tallet said. "That's what I'm working toward."
Take Monday's outing, for example. Tallet allowed five runs on eight hits over five innings, finishing with 76 pitches, one walk and one strikeouts. For the spring? He now has a 7.36 ERA (9 ER, 13 H, 11 IP).
Monday's pitching line was crooked mainly due to a three-run homer that Tallet yielded to Detroit's Brandon Inge in the first inning. It was a changeup that Tallet left up in the strike zone a bit too much. Inge did what any good hitter should, launching it out of the ballpark.
"You take that one away, it's a whole different ballgame," Tallet said. "It was one of those things. Through the first part of camp I've been bouncing so many changeups. I just told myself, 'I'm not going to bounce them anymore. It's not going to get any better by bouncing it.' I've got to be able to get that pitch in the zone. So, I was working on getting it up a little bit and I just got that one up a little too much."
What would Tallet have done during the regular season?
"I'd probably throw something else in that situation," he said. "Or, bounce the changeup."
As for that one walk? Tallet said, "When you've got to throw five strikes to a guy, that's tough." The ground balls that bounced into the outfield for hits? "A couple of them found holes, snuck by the third baseman." That homer in the fourth by Ryan Rayburn? "He just kind of went out there and ambushed an early-count fastball. But it was just one pitch."
One start ago, Tallet worked through four clean innings against the Orioles, focusing on his two-seam sinker and allowing no runs on one hit. The lefty said his fastball was fine on Monday against the Tigers, but he wanted to spend some time trying to correct the issues he's had with the changeup.
What will he be working on in his final two spring starts?
"More than anything," Tallet said, "it's going to be getting with John [Buck] and getting with whoever the backup catcher is and starting to go over game plans. When we're out there [right now], we're not game-planning. I'm not watching any film. I'm just kind of out there working on pitching and working on throwing strikes."
As things currently stand, Tallet is the favorite to land the fifth starter's job to open the season. If you're going by on-field results alone, there is an argument to be made that left Dana Eveland has out-performed Tallet this spring and deserves the job. There is also youngster Brett Cecil, who considered to be a bigger part of the Jays' future.
Right now, though, there is no indication from the Jays that Tallet is at risk of losing his spot on the starting staff.
"If I don't break as a starter," Tallet said, "then that's my fault, because I didn't pitch as well."
HE'S NUMBER ONE: Before Monday's game, the Blue Jays officially announced that Shaun Marcum will be their new Opening Day starter. CLICK HERE for the full story on bluejays.com. We met with Marcum for a 12-minute Q&A and there was some good stuff left on the cutting-room floor.
Marcum found out on Monday morning, around 8:55 a.m. ET, shortly before the Blue Jays took the field for their pregame stretching. Marcum was approached at his locker by pitching coach Bruce Walton, who told the pitcher that manager Cito Gaston and general manager Alex Anthopoulos wanted to see him in Gaston's office.
"Pappy came and told me to put my shower shoes on, we're having a meeting," Marcum said with a smile. "I was like, 'Getting sent down already? I haven't done anything wrong.' No, it was a good meeting. Like I told them, I'm excited about it and I'm going to do whatever I can to help — I always say young guys, but I consider myself young, too — I'll do whatever I can to help the staff and move forward in the right direction."
This came one day after Marcum was forced to work through an 81-pitch simulated game in Toronto's indoor batting cage at Dunedin Stadium, which was hammered by rain all morning and afternoon on Sunday. Marcum laughed and quipped: "I guess that no-hitter I threw in the cage yesterday got me a spot on the team."
What does being a leader mean to Marcum? "The main thing is I'm not a big rah-rah, cheerleading-type guy. But, you've got to have fun. You've got to keep loose. That's one thing I learned coming up. Even from when I was nine to in college, it seemed like the guys that were a little uptight and pressed too much were the guys that struggled a little bit. I think that's one thing I'm going to do, is try to keep everybody loose, have fun and go out there and take care of business."
On communication among starters this year: "It's going to be very important. Whether it's talking on the bus or talking on the plane or even in the dugout, that's one thing that I think we're starting to do. Even in Spring Training games, I've seen a lot of Ricky [Romero] and Zep [Marc Rzepczynski] and Tallet just talking about certain pitch locations and pitch selections and hitters' swings. I think that's something that's going to benefit all of us."
Asked if being a No. 1 starter felt natural: "I wouldn't call it natural. I've always just been, go out there and do what I can. I've never been an overpowering guy where eveybbody just looks at you and they're like, 'Oh, he's a No. 1 starter,' or anything. To me, it's just the guy that's taking the ball on Day 1 and pitching every fifth game. Other than that, I'm just going to do what I can, keep our team in the ballgame, grind it out and try to be a bulldog."

BIRD FEED: LHP Jesse Carlson (left knee) threw off a mound in the bullpen for around 10 minutes on Monday and came away feeling good. Carlson will take a day off on Tuesday and get back on the hill Wednesday. With two weeks left in spring, the Jays are not ruling him out for Opening Day. … 3B Edwin Encarnacion (left wrist) and UTIL Mike McCoy (right shoulder) took part in a Triple-A game on Monday. "Reports back were all good," said Gaston, who then chuckled. "I actually asked [head trainer George] Poulis if they got any hits, but he couldn't tell me. He didn't care about that. He just wanted to know if they were healthy. He said they were healthy." For what it's worth, Encarnacion went 1-for-5 and McCoy went 1-for-4. Gaston said both will play in another Minors game on Wednesday. Neither have been ruled out for Opening Day. … Relievers Kevin Gregg, Jason Frasor, Scott Downs and David Purcey each logged one shutout inning in the Triple-A game on Monday. RHP Shawn Camp also appeared in the game and allowed one run on two hits with one walk over one inning. … Eveland will start and is scheduled to log five innings on Wednesday against the Rays in Port Charlotte. The start was originally reserved for RHP Brandon Morrow (right shoulder). … Morrow will resume throwing on Wednesday, throw a bullpen Friday and then start on Monday, if there are no setbacks. Even though he is only scheduled for three innings in Monday's outing, the Jays believe there is enough time for him to be ready for Opening Day. "If he feels good, he's got a chance," Gaston said. "He's got a chance, yeah. But if doesn't feel good, he probably won't make it. He won't make Opening Day." … 1B/DH Randy Ruiz launched a mammoth two-run homer in the second inning of Monday's game. He did what looked like a Sammy Sosa-style hop out of the batter's box, before dropping the bat and trotting around the bases. "Nah," Ruiz said with a smile. "I just didn't know if it was going to hook foul or not." Well, in that case, it was more of a Carlton Fisk-type hop.
UNDER THE RADAR: Anyone notice the spring RHP Casey Janssen is having? He logged another shutout inning for the Jays on Monday. That's four games, four innings, no runs, one hit, one walk, three strikeouts. He has quietly become almost an assumed part of the Opening Day bullpen: Gregg, Frasor, Downs, Camp, Janssen and Carlson (if healthy) project to make the team right now. It's that seventh spot (Jeremy Accardo? David Purcey? Merkin Valdez? Josh Roenicke? Eveland?) that is the bigger question mark right now. So much attention has been placed on the starting rotation, but the bullpen has really been the more interesting battle this spring.

Let's see, I read: "We're here to work on stuff and to get stuff ready for April 5," Tallet said. Then it's…"You take that one away, it's a whole different ballgame.Then it's.."It was one of those things. Then it's…"When you've got to throw five strikes to a guy, that's tough." Then it's…"A couple of them found holes, snuck by the third baseman." Then it's…"He just kind of went out there and ambushed an early-count fastball. But it was just one pitch."
Then finally, no more excuses, just one true fact: "If I don't break as a starter," Tallet said, "then that's my fault, because I didn't pitch as well."
Thank God finally, for the truth, I was getting damn tired of all the excuses. Tallet is definitely struggling and he knows it.
I have always wondered if there's something he does wrong in his warm up sessions because sometimes he starts off and is great and then there's days like this.
What does he do differently in the days he starts well (like on March 17th) versus the day he craps out like today, (today and March 7th). because if it can't be fixed, he's not a starter and possibly not even a reliever?
I must say, I really like what appears to be a "teaming effort" by our starters. No question that will build team cohesiveness and help us win. Not sure we've ever had that before, or at least not as long as I can remember.
As I've been posting in Blue Jay Junction for weeks now, what you get from Brian Tallet as a permanent starter is an under .500 record and ERA of 5.0. His best role and the one where he has had huge success is as long reliever and spot starter when needed. Why take him out of that role and insert him somewhere where his likelihood of success is much smaller when there are better options like Eveland or Cecil. Typical Cito who falls in love with a player and rides his loyalty to the end. It's what players love about him but he does it to the detriment of the team's success.

Echols Co., GA - A drug bust at Echols County High School. A young Spanish teacher was caught with marijuana and a smoking pipe on school grounds. 26-year-old Krystal Maldonado-Alers was arrested and charged with two counts of possession.
"It is very rare to catch a teacher in this type of situation," said Echols Co. Sheriff Randy Courson.
She was caught in a routine school search Friday by the Sheriff's Department using drug sniffing dogs. But the searches are intended to catch students. Sheriff Courson says they never expected to catch a teacher.
All faculty, staff and students were told not to leave their offices or classrooms around 9 am. It seems Alers panicked. Sheriff Courson says she darted for her car, leaving her classroom full of students unattended.
The principal spotted her trying to ditch a smoke pipe by the school fence. Then deputies found less than one ounce of marijuana in her car.
"Teachers are supposed to set examples for the students and in this case I don't believe that was being done," said Sheriff Courson.
Alers was taken into custody and charged with two misdemeanors and bonded out later that night.
The real irony is she might have gotten away with it. There are separate parking lots for students and teachers and deputies had no plans to search the faculty lot.
"We'll run the student parking lot and the teacher's from here on out," said Sheriff Courson.
The Echols County Superintendent says she was placed on Administrative Leave the same day as the incident and the Board of Education may take further action.

Libyan rebels get U.S. nod, fear Gadhafi counterattack
BENGHAZI, Libya — The Obama administration appeared Sunday to welcome the formation of a national opposition government in Libya, as rebels feared dictator Moammar Gadhafi was preparing forces to launch counterattacks.
As she prepared to fly to Geneva, Switzerland, for a Monday meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said "we've been reaching out" to forces working to oust Gadhafi and are prepared "to offer any kind of assistance that anyone wishes to have from the United States."
Clinton's comments came as former high-ranking Libyan aides to Gadhafi who resigned since the uprising and his bloody crackdown began 12 days ago met behind closed doors in rebel-held Benghazi in eastern Libya, the country's second-largest city, to create an alternative national government.
Organizers said the government will include liberated cities and towns and emphasized it was temporary. Rebels were trying to organize a military offensive but they did not appear to have the plans, supplies or manpower in place to move on Gadhafi.
With an unconfirmed death toll estimated in the hundreds to the thousands, Gadhafi still held the capital of Tripoli on Sunday.
One Tripoli resident, Naser, reached by telephone after nightfall, said the city was mostly quiet after days of attacks, but that there was unusually heavy activity at a major military airbase near the capital. He asked that his last name be withheld to protect his security.
"Believe me, he is preparing for something," he said of Gadhafi. "He's been preparing for something like this all his life."
Naser pleaded for outside intervention, saying, "We do not have the power to defeat Gadhafi on our own," and predicting: "The rebels will not come to Tripoli. Tripoli is his fortress."
Residents of nearby Zawiya said Gadhafi's forces were circling the outskirts of their city after being run out days ago.
Two men told McClatchy in separate interviews by cell phone that Gadhafi forces were attacking on the edges of the city but had not re-entered the center, but that they feared that could happen at any time. The men spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing for their safety. One of the men also said there had been about two dozen kidnappings in the city since Friday.
It was unclear how high-level the U.S. overtures to the opposition have been — or just what sort of aid has been offered or accepted.
Clinton did not explicitly recognize the legitimacy of the opposition government and did not indicate there was any offer of U.S. military assistance.
While Clinton is in Geneva, President Barack Obama is to meet Monday in Washington to discuss the situation with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
The meetings follow the U.N. Security Council's adoption of sanctions late Saturday to freeze Gadhafi's and his family's assets, ban their travel and the travel of close associates and forward possible war crimes charges to the International Criminal Court.
Clinton said the discussion is "just at the beginning of what will follow Gadhafi."
"First we have to see the end of his regime with no further violence and bloodshed, which is a big challenge in front of all of us," she said. "But we've been reaching out to many different Libyans who are attempting to organize in the east and as the revolution moves westward there as well. I think it's way too soon to tell how this is going to play out, but we're going to be ready and prepared to offer any kind of assistance that anyone wishes to have from the United States."
She said countries in the region have an obligation to stop any of their own citizens from going to Libya to work as mercenaries for Gadhafi.
A spokesman for the opposition government, Abdulhafid Gouqa, said at a news conference in Benghazi on Sunday that the organizers were not talking to foreign governments and were not interested in outside intervention.
He also emphasized that the government was still being shaped and that he could not offer many specifics, but he insisted there would be no negotiations with Gadhafi's regime. "Our blood cannot be negotiated," he said.
In Benghazi, organizers of the temporary government also asked local banks to issue 200-dinar loans, worth about $164, to account holders, saying the loans could be repaid through withholdings to future paychecks once residents were able to return to work. In Tripoli, Gadhafi was offering 500 dinars to loyalists.
More anti-government protests were reported across the Middle East on Sunday. At least one protester was killed by security forces in Oman, according to news service reports. The Tunisian prime minister agreed to step down, after reports of at least five protesters being killed since Friday. Thousands also protested against the king in Bahrain
Back in the United States, Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, urged Obama to impose a no-fly zone over Libya, which would prevent Gadhafi from flying military aircraft to attack rebel territory, and to offer aid to the provisional Libyan government being formed in liberated areas in the country's east.
The senators told CNN that Obama's response to the crisis has not been tough enough, notwithstanding the need to get U.S. diplomats and other citizens out of the country.
"I understand that America's security and safety of American citizens is our highest priority. It is not our only priority," McCain said.
Saif al-Islam Gadhafi, son of the dictator, told ABC News in an interview aired Sunday that "we didn't use force," that the media was falsely reporting the situation, that Gadhafi wasn't stepping down, that aides who defected are "hypocrites" and that what Gadhafi does is none of the United States' business.
Tareq, a Libyan-American who left Tripoli on Friday aboard a U.S. government-chartered ferry to Malta, said in a telephone interview from London on Sunday that what is taking shape is not a civil war as Gadhafi and his sons have insisted. He asked that his last name be withheld to protect family still in Libya.
He said Libyans overwhelmingly are against their leader. "If this is a war, it's a war of the people against the Libyan regime." He said there were pockets of resistance to Gadhafi throughout Tripoli, in the neighborhoods of Fashloom, Zawiya el-Dihmani and Souq al-Jouma, but that those still were being met with deadly force, and that ongoing military transports from the airbase outside Tripoli suggest Gadhafi is still importing African mercenaries to fight.

This edition is as the original score and is not arranged or simplified, except that the trumpet parts were originally in Eb and have here been transposed into Bb."A cannon is any piece of artillery that uses gunpowder or other usually explosive-based propellants to launch a projectile" but this could be taking authenticity a bit too far - anything that makes a big bang will do! The requirement for 5 percussionists assumes only 1 for the cannon. The optional extra brass doubles the orchestral brass from bar 358 to the end and ideally should be sited in a different part of the concert hall for that over-the-top effect. "Extra Brass" parts are provided within the PACK for 4 horns, 2 cornets, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones and tuba, but use whatever you have!Duration 15 minutesA PACK comprises an A4 sized full score plus a complete set of parts including strings 4/4/3/4/2.

British bio-dynamic wine maker Robert Eden has built the world's first hemp cellar in the Cru Classé "La Livinière" village of the Languedoc region in the South of France. When the vineyard was purchased in the early 90s, the initial yields were lower than expected. The soil was dead, due to the previous farmer's overuse of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, so the estate looked at ways of rejuvenating it, using compost. Bio-dynamic preparations were added to one organic pile of compost and another was left alone. After a while, the bio-dynamic pile had far more living organisms in it. The decision was then made and Francois Bouchet, a specialist in bio-dynamic vineyards, helped Chateau Maris get started. It was a business decision because the vines are now healthier and grow longer – and the quality of the grapes is better. The entire estate is certified by both Demeter and Biodyvin. Yields are now 32 Hl/Ha on average and the entire estate is hand harvested. Château Maris also owns two work horses. Each year some plots are ploughed that way. Barley, bulgur and mustard is grown between rows and re-ploughed into the soil, along with the organic compost, to enrich it and to avoid farming in mono-culture. Château Maris also continues to perfect methods specifically adapted to its land. The estate uses its very own recipes of teas/tisanes of nettles and chamomile combining lavender and many minerals. Now, it's not uncommon for consumers to query the extent to which a wine estate can be 'completely' organic. Surely, they ask, the organic commitment begins and ends in the vineyard? Well no – and especially not at Château Maris. The main reason for constructing an environmentally-friendly building is that, as a farmer, climate change is a big enemy. The new 9000 ft² cellar houses the wines from Chateau Maris. It is built to run environmentally efficiently – with zero carbon emission. It was constructed using hemp, lime and wood. Hemp is good for the soil while growing; it fights soil erosion, needs no pesticides or fertilisers and little water, and consumes co2. Only its straw was used for the bricks so the rest of the plant will be marketed for oils. The wood is from certified managed forests which capture and store carbon. The hemp bricks also absorb co2 during 20 to 25 years as the lime solidifies into limestone. Utilizing only renewable raw materials, the cellar is a 'vegetable' building and completely recyclable. Our vines are connected to nature and so is our cellar. Neither heating equipment nor air conditioners are needed, so the building functions without any energy consumption. Hemp bricks, unlike concrete or metal, are 'alive' and able to breathe. They maintain temperature and humidity at a constant level on their own, whereas most buildings ineffectively use fossil fuels to function. Solar panels and a wind farm on site will ensure that the cellar has no carbon footprint, producing more energy than it consumes. We also collect rainwater and recycle used water. This cellar may have a phenomenal effect on the taste of the bio-dynamic wine. It will be incredibly exciting to see how it evolves once it has lived in a 'living, breathing' cellar. Château Maris also wants to encompass these beliefs into the land surrounding the cellar with an ethno-botanical garden surrounding the winery, with endemic plants, and a visitor centre (also made from hemp). The whole site will be open to the public. The site of the cellar was chosen because of its good energy, nearby is a Visigoth chapel (which is being restored) and dowsers who investigated it found that there was such a huge force that they were literally shaking. The lay of the land also meant that the cellar could be pushed against a bank to use gravity and covered with a grass roof that integrates perfectly into the existing landscape. In the cellar, the wine is made using only natural yeasts found in the vineyard and bottled un-fined and un-filtered. The oxidation is limited as much as possible by keeping the wines with CO2 at constantly low temperature instead of sulphur. The wine is racked the least amount of times and are all aged for at the very least 12 months in oak barrels. The end product is a "never corrected" un-acidified, un-chaptalized natural wine. All the tanks, cone shaped wooden ones or large wide natural concrete ones or egg shaped concrete ones, are all specifically designed and sized for Chateau Maris by tank maker Nomblot. All Maris wines are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. But surely the idea of sustainability ends once the wine leaves the winery? Once again, no. Three of the Château Maris wine labels donate $1.50 from each bottle sold to the Jane Goodall Institute, Rainforest Foundation or International Polar Foundation. All these organisations are helping to stabilize climate change. The vast majority of the production is bottled in Ultra-Light 100% recycled glass weighing in at only 395g that are half a pound lighter than a regular Burgundy bottle. The labels are all made with recycled paper Read less

For some, the word "drone" may conjure images of scary flying machines going off to battle. Many researchers, however, are looking at new ways of using drones here in the U.S., and they could soon be more common than you'd expect.
With the unveiling of four new unmanned aircraft concepts, the industrial design team at frog is looking to clean up the drone's image.
"They can go places that we can't easily or safely go. The vantage point they can get as an extension of our field of view is something that's very valuable in first response situations and even everyday life," frog interaction designer Eric Boam said to Business Insider. "That ability is the root of their ability to do good."
Frog hopes to demonstrate these positive applications with their four new concept designs, and they all look like something out of a sci-fi movie.
One, dubbed the Cyclodrone, was inspired by one designer's frequent rides in the hills of Oakland, Calif. The concept calls for a drone that would fly in front of and behind cyclists to alert drivers of their approach.
"You see cyclists but it's often not until it's too late," Cormac Eubanks, who headed the survival drone design team, said to Business Insider. "Any advance warning could make a difference."
The Cyclodrone would be connected to a cyclist's phone via Bluetooth and would follow a preprogrammed route. Still, Eubanks admits that a more powerful battery and efficient motor would have to be developed for the Cyclodrone to become a reality.
Another survival drone, named the Firestorm, would be able to fly into burning buildings to give firefighters a better assessment of conditions and even find people trapped inside.
"We're envisioning one that could be thermally insulated and go inside hot environments, so that if something happens, it's not the loss of life of a firefighter, just a piece of technology," Eubanks said. "The loss to human life would be considerably less."
There's also the Snow Cyclops, which could be a cheaper and safer alternative to current avalanche control technologies, and the Hummingbird and Beetle, an autonomous farming system that could potentially open up land previously inaccessible for farming.
While we probably won't see these drones fighting fires in the next few months, the frog team says that a future filled with helpful drones could only be a few years off.
"Right now it's just a concept, a kind of blue-sky approach to how we could create drones that were less intimidating," Eubanks said. "There is a level of engineering and technical scrutiny we would need to make these a reality."
Among the main concerns are communication and safety — they would have to figure out how to keep the drones from running into people, landmarks, and each other, for one. They aren't any legal guidelines for the use of drones in everyday life, either.
"A lot of things need to happen for there to be that ubiquity," Eubanks said.
The public's attitude towards unmanned aircraft would have to go through a change as well, though the designers are optimistic that this could happen over time.
"As drones evolve and their look and feel changes to more readily show their purpose...it will be easier for people to accept them," Boam said.
Eubanks agreed that people's relationship to drones could change, comparing it to other technologies that seemed intimidating in the past.
"A lot of technologies start as military applications, like GPS started as a way to direct fleets and military units," Eubanks said. "So I think drones have that same potential."
