The GEF4 Graphics component provides a level of abstraction over different drawing toolkits. At the moment, SWT and AWT backends are in development. Its goal is to be as complete as possible, i.e. you should have access to all the functionality that you have access to when working directly with one of the underlying drawing toolkits. Of course, this is not always viable, but rather the greatest common divisor of the underlying drawing toolkits is accessible via the abstraction layer.
The heart of the GEF4 Graphics component is the IGraphics interface. Normally, you will be handed over an IGraphics to accomplish your displaying tasks by a surrounding framework, but it can be used stand-alone, too. Thereto, you have to create a specific IGraphics implementation. Let us consider the following SWT example:
package org.eclipse.gef4.graphics.examples; import org.eclipse.gef4.geometry.planar.Ellipse; import org.eclipse.gef4.graphics.Color; import org.eclipse.gef4.graphics.IGraphics; import org.eclipse.gef4.graphics.swt.DisplayGraphics; import org.eclipse.swt.SWT; import org.eclipse.swt.events.PaintEvent; import org.eclipse.swt.events.PaintListener; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell; public class SWTGraphicsExample implements PaintListener { public static void main(String[] args) { new SWTGraphicsExample("GEF4 Graphics - SWT"); } public SWTGraphicsExample(String title) { Display display = new Display(); Shell shell = new Shell(display, SWT.SHELL_TRIM | SWT.DOUBLE_BUFFERED); shell.setText(title); shell.setBounds(0, 0, 640, 480); shell.open(); shell.addPaintListener(this); while (!shell.isDisposed()) { if (!display.readAndDispatch()) { display.sleep(); } } } public void paintControl(PaintEvent e) { DisplayGraphics g = new DisplayGraphics(e.gc); renderScene(g); g.cleanUp(); } public void renderScene(IGraphics g) { g.fillProperties().setColor(new Color(255, 0, 0, 255)); g.fill(new Ellipse(50, 50, 350, 200)); } }
As you can see in this example, the DisplayGraphics is an IGraphics implementation. It can be constructed via a SWT GC which is passed-in to the paintControl() event handler. The renderScene() method does not know anything about the actual IGraphics implemention that is used. That's why we do not need to adjust our rendering code when switching to AWT, for example. You may wonder why we have to call the cleanUp() method on the DisplayGraphics. In the case of SWT, this is necessary to fully free the system resources that will be allocated during the rendering process. But let us concentrate on the renderScene() method.
There are two important things to notice:
- A set of property groups exists which control the state of the IGraphics. In the example, the color attribute of the fillProperties is set to a fully opaque red. This will affect any fill() operation on our IGraphics.
- The GEF4 Geometry component is integrated into the IGraphics interface, so that we can easily display geometry objects.
There are four different drawing operations available on an IGraphics: draw(), fill(), write(), and blit(). Correspondingly, you can get the active drawProperties(), fillProperties(), writeProperties(), and blitProperties() out of an IGraphics. Additionally, the canvasProperties() are used to control global IGraphics settings, such as the current drawing position. Changing the attributes of any of these IGraphicsProperties directly affects the next operation.
Using the IGraphics#draw(ICurve) and IGraphics#draw(Path) methods, you can display the (contour of the) passed-in geometry object. The operation is affected by the currently active IDrawProperties and ICanvasProperties. For a reference of all available geometry objects, take a look at the GEF4 Geometry component (GEF/GEF4/Geometry). Analogical, the IGraphics#fill(IShape), IGraphics#fill(IMultiShape), and IGraphics#fill(Path) methods will fill the interior of the passed-in geometry object. The operation is affected by the currently active IFillProperties and ICanvasProperties. Using the IGraphics#blit(Image) method, you can display the passed-in Image object. The operation is affected by the currently active IBlitProperties and ICanvasProperties. Using the IGraphics#write(String) method, you can display the passed-in String object. The operation is affected by the currently active IWriteProperties and ICanvasProperties.
The currently active IBlitProperties, ICanvasProperties, IDrawProperties, IFillProperties, and IWriteProperties are referred to as the current state of an IGraphics. You can save the current state via the pushState() method. A saved state can be restored later via the popState() method. Using this mechanism has the potential to ease the drawing code by eliminating many accesses to the individual IGraphicsProperties.
For every IGraphicsProperties you can modify multiple attributes in one method-chain, as in the following extension of the previous example snippet:
// additional imports import org.eclipse.gef4.geometry.planar.Polygon; import org.eclipse.gef4.geometry.planar.Rectangle; import org.eclipse.gef4.graphics.IDrawProperties.LineCap; import org.eclipse.gef4.graphics.IDrawProperties.LineJoin; // ... public void renderScene(IGraphics g) { final Ellipse ellipse = new Ellipse(50, 50, 350, 200); final Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle(100, 160, 125, 220); final Polygon triangle = new Polygon(260, 170, 190, 300, 330, 300); final Color red = new Color(255, 0, 0, 255); final Color darkRed = new Color(128, 0, 0, 255); final Color blue = new Color(0, 0, 255, 255); final Color green = new Color(0, 255, 0, 255); final Color darkGreen = new Color(0, 128, 0, 255); g.drawProperties().setLineWidth(4).setAntialiasing(true); g.fillProperties().setAntialiasing(true); g.pushState(); g.fillProperties().setColor(red); g.drawProperties().setDashArray(25, 10).setColor(darkRed); g.fill(ellipse); g.draw(ellipse.getOutline()); g.popState(); g.pushState(); g.fillProperties().setColor(blue); g.drawProperties().setLineJoin(LineJoin.ROUND) .setLineCap(LineCap.ROUND); g.fill(rectangle); g.draw(rectangle.getOutline()); g.popState(); g.fillProperties().setColor(green); g.drawProperties().setColor(darkGreen).setLineJoin(LineJoin.MITER); g.fill(triangle); g.draw(triangle.getOutline()); } // ...

Hi there Kotaku, and a happy Wednesday to you. It's 10:30 PM, and that means it must be time for the open thread.
We're all so constantly connected to social media that it's easy to forget just how many people can see everything we say. So thank goodness for WeKnowWhatYoureDoing.com, who have put together a website that offers a simple, clear reminder of the damaging things we post to social media every day.
Who wants to get fired? Who's taking drugs? Who's got a new phone number?
Are you more careful now about what you share on social media? Do you think that since the cat's out of the bag, you might as well just share everything? Are you considering closing any of your accounts, or have you ever?
Let those prompts be your guide, and feel free to talk about anything else, as well. The open thread is yours.

BALTIMORE – Sophomore Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) and freshman Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany) fly west to become the first Retriever pair to compete at the same NCAA track and field championships when the national outdoor meet begins on Wednesday, June 5 at the University of Oregon. The four-day meet opens at Hayward Field on Wednesday with the women's hammer throw at 4:30 p.m. ET/1:30 PT and closes on Saturday evening following the 4x400 relays.
The afternoon portions of the meet will be streamed on the Oregon/Pac-12 Network while the evening sessions on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday can be seen on ESPNU or ESPN3.
The two athletes are the fourth and fifth Retrievers to ever compete at the national meet following current in the footsteps of current head coach David Bobb, Cleopatra Borel, and Huguens Jean. In addition, Jackson is the second UMBC athlete to compete in two NCAA meets, and both the indoor and outdoor championships in the same year after Bobb did so in 1997.
Jackson heads to the West Coast for her second straight NCAA meet after competing in the 60m dash at the indoor championships and earning a spot on the All-America Second Team. The sophomore sprinter will race in the 100m dash preliminaries on Wednesday which is set for an 8:30 p.m. ET start. Jackson is scheduled to run in heat two of three with her seed time of 11.53 ranking 13th overall in the national field. To reach Friday's finals, Jackson must place in the top two in her heat, or have one of the two-fastest times of the remaining competitors.
The America East champion in the event, Jackson also claimed the ECAC title at Princeton in mid-May during her qualification for the NCAA East Regionals. At the regional meet in North Carolina two weeks ago, Jackson clipped her school-record time down to 11.46 in the prelims to advance to the event finals. In the final round, the sophomore placed third in her heat earn a spot at the NCAA meet.
Rentzsch will compete in the javelin competition on the final day of the meet, Saturday, following an impressive freshman season. Competing in flight one of two, Rentzsch holds the seventh-best toss of his flight (out of 12) and the 13th-best overall at 70.88m (232'6") which he set at the NCAA East meet. The top-nine distances move on to the finals which commence 20 minutes after the prelim round.
In just his first season with the Retrievers, Rentzsch has impressed from the start. In his very first meet in the Black and Gold, the rookie broke the school record in the javelin at the Florida State Relays. A week later he reset the record in his first home meet, the Big Dawg Invitational, and then went on to do so two more times during the invitational season. At the America East Championships, the freshman won both the javelin event and the decathlon. After competing at the IC4A meet, Rentzsch traveled down to North Carolina A&T for the NCAA regional meet and advanced to the finals after bettering his school record distance to 67.41m (221'2"). Then on his final throw of the competition, Rentzsch recorded his best-ever toss to jump from 15th to fifth and earn a trip to Oregon.

PhD Viva Freak Out
Posted 09 July 2012 - 09:28 AM
My PhD viva is coming up in about 3 weeks...I am completely freaking out. I have two supervisors. One I could not really depend on as much basically throughout my PhD years (because he had been giving me outright wrong facts and suggestions basically on every aspect from scientific knowledge to administrative paperwork, etc), and he did not read my thesis. The other is a very respected figure in his field and has much experience in PhD students. He single-handedly helped on providing valuable comments on my thesis and is very pleased with the final product and thinks I would have no problem. He also said because I had some publications I have nothing to worry about.
However, I am worried about not bring able to elaborate some of the points in the thesis, mostly introduction chapter where the beginning sections have little to do with my main focus. I freak about examiners asking me specific references that I now find so hard to absorb.
I suppose I just would like some encouragements and guidance as to how to cope during this time. I feel awful and hopeless
Thank you so much for listening.
Posted 10 July 2012 - 01:19 AM
you should mainly feel confident about your work, what you did (methods, background, hypothesis), how you did it, your results and most important why you concluded what. Usually you will not be asked details about other peoples papers, so do not worry too much about this
Posted 10 July 2012 - 09:10 AM
Good luck and don't panic.

I realized that I might have put in the wrong references in some statements as well...yikes...I hope that those being in the introduction would not be as affecting as if the references were messed up in the results chapters.
Also, would one recommend typing up a list of corrections to the examiners at the beginning of the viva? On one hand it shows examiners that one is thorough, but then it might bring up questions from examiners that they otherwise would not ask or pick up....

I would not point out the errors to the examiners - unless they are so serious that they affect the whole meaning of your thesis and one can doubt your results!
Otherwise I doubt that anybody made the effort to check all the referenceces and if they are at the right place - we are all far to busy for this. However I would prepare such a list for your supervisor, and talk to him about this once you have survived your viva - just in case that your thesis gets published.....
Posted 13 July 2012 - 10:39 PM
did your supervisor not read your thesis before you submitted it????? If he did not realise this then it is unlikely that he will spot the mistake now.

I have this one chapter where it is a lot of results but both me and my supervisor are not entirely sure about the significance. Is it alright to ask for examiners' opinion about all the data, since it is a discussion...that particular chapter is more open-ended, and it's a minor topic of my thesis.

Posted 24 July 2012 - 12:09 AM
good luck for your viva.
Posted 02 August 2012 - 02:20 PM
I got my corrections back and one of the most challenging for me was that I used some figures from publications, and, even though I referenced them, my examiners requested that I make sure the copyright issue has been sorted out. They specifically mentioned that ASM has these "copyright-free" figures....and that other journals have the same policy...
Does anyone know about this? Most of my figures were referenced from publications and I do not want to redraw them....I am beginning to feel that asking the authors for permission would be easier, even though I have a large number of contacts I need to request...

Institute for 21st Century Education
If your time at school is a story, then who's writing it?
At Hathaway Brown, the answer is simple and profound: you're in charge.
Where most schools map out your path, HB lets you build your own story, and the Institute for 21st Century Education is one of the main ways we'll help you do it.
At its most basic level, the Institute is an assortment of programs that students can join if they so choose. We call the programs "Centers," and each one is related to a discipline that students explore in their core classes. Each center helps students and teachers engage with the world's promises and problems.
"I don't think I would be as creative when imagining the range of projects I could pursue in my own life without the centers," one student said. "Really, they take the building blocks of a five-course curriculum and cast that knowledge in a different light. The centers help me realize there are worthwhile things people can learn and do that don't have letter grades or rubrics."
In the Institute, you'll find chances to try new things and hone the skills that matter most in the world: grit, zest, resilience, social and emotional intelligence, and joy.
It's one big reason scholars like Catherine Steiner-Adair see something special in the Institute: "The HB model of education and the school culture create a very specific kind of educational experience that I believe provides girls with the traits that are most highly correlated with success."
The Institute will help you map out your journey and put your imagination and muscle into transforming yourself and, through that, the larger world.
You're the author of your life. Here's your paper. Here's your pen. Let's get started.

|Zach Scott '14 leads a discussion group at Jefferson Forest High School.
Then they pursued a discussion about how to make time for studying. One student pointed out that his grades had been better when he was running cross country and had to spend a lot of time at practice each week.
Scott affirmed that observation. "Your day was so packed that you had to structure it," he said.
Scott was leading sessions like this in two Lynchburg-area high schools for Project Discovery, a program that aims to help students prepare for college by teaching them about setting goals, study skills, and financial aid. It is run by Lynchburg Community Action Group (Lyn-CAG), where Scott had an internship this fall.
Scott, who began his higher education at Central Virginia Community College, transferred to Randolph because of its strong sociology program and the campus culture. He knew he would be able to meet many different kinds of people while working closely with his professors. "It was really the diversity and the intimate environment of the college that brought me here," he said.
His fall 2012 internship with Lyn-CAG had two components. In addition to teaching college preparation lessons to high school students, Scott helped find permanent housing for homeless people. His work helped increase his awareness of problems that he hopes to help solve.
"As a youth advocate, I realized that not every youth has a mentor to guide them through daily life. That is a privilege, not an entitlement. As a housing advocate, I realized that a home is a luxury item; not everyone has one," Scott said.
Scott plans to pursue a master's degree and become a social worker after he graduates from Randolph. Looking back on his internship, he said it provided valuable experience that will help in his career. "I was able to take sociological theory and apply it to sociological practice while working with people from various social and cultural backgrounds," he said.

Founder of Denver's Emily Griffith Opportunity School shot dead in 1947 with sister
Emily Griffith's legacy goes back to the early 1910s when she founded a school that has come to be symbolic with helping kids and adults rise above poverty.
Her name is nearly as recognizable in Denver today as it was in the first half of last century.
The mystery behind who really murdered her and her younger sister also lingers.
Emily Griffith was the founder of the Emily Griffith Technical College, once called the Emily Griffith Opportunity School. It has shepherded 1.6 million students to new careers over its 96-year history.
On the morning of June 18, 1947, she and her sister were shot to death in a cabin in Boulder County. The murders have never been solved.
Griffith began her teaching career in a sod school house in Nebraska.
She was born on Feb. 10, 1880 in Cincinnati, Ohio. She graduated from Broken Bow, Neb. in 1895 and attended college in Nebraska and at the Denver Normal and Preparatory School. Her first teaching job was in 1898 at Central school.
She was an eighth grade teacher on the 24th Street School in 1913. Many of the students who attended the school came from impoversished homes.
It is what inspired her to establish the "Opportunity School," according to an article in 1947 by former Denver Post reporter Alex Murphree.
She recognized that the needs of the children in her class was great but the needs of their older siblings and parents were even greater.
Many didn't know how to read or write. They had dropped out of school. Griffith first offered night classes for the parents so they could learn after work.
On Sept. 9, 1916 she opened the doors of the "Opportunity School." It was a free school within the public Denver school system. The school offered trade education for barbers, bakers and plumbers.

FrontierJapan is a marketing and trends company based in Japan. WeÂ're looking to overhaul our corporate identity to something more funky, modern, fresh and powerful. As a minimum we'll need a logo+letterhead, but we're also open to a new website + flash..get creative!
insight + inspiration = innovation (optional)
Desired Color Scheme:
Something bright - no corporate blues/greys please!
Desired Style:
High impact, confident, professional, creative, schmick. Use of gradients/shadows/light.
Accepted File Formats:
Original AI plus a high res JPG; Flash
One of our team has had a go at redesigning our business cards (see http://www.frontierjapan.com/new-id…cards.jpg) and website (see http://www.frontierjapan.com/new-id…ncept.jpg).
We dont mind these, particularly the business cards. We wish the web design wasnt so square though. If you can improve the existing design or come up with something different altogether, were totally open to new ideas. Anything looking standard or cheesy will not be considered we're looking to convey professional integrity and create a lasting impression of creativity and attitude.
Well structure the competition as a series of options so you can choose how much or how little you want to offer.
>> Logo + Letterhead: $250
For a logo that works well with the cards and homepage weve already designed, the prize is $250. Well leave it to you as to where on the website the logo should go, but please ensure logo is reversible ie. works (or can be easily adapted to work) on both coloured and white backgrounds. Once were agreed on the logo well then need you to incorporate it into a simple A4 letterhead in AI format.
>> Touch-ups: $50
If you can make any slight improvements to our proposed business cards and web design and we like them well pay you $50 for the right to incorporate them. Editable AI files are available for download at http://www.frontierjapan.com/new-id…e-file.htm .
>> Logo + Letterhead + Business cards + Un-coded website: $450
If you can come up with something better than the designs weve made ourselves and can provide us with all we need to run with your idea, i.e. logo, letterhead, business cards and website concept/instructions (see below), then if we choose to use it your prize will be $450.
The site design will need to incorporate an element of movement to give us a dynamic, fast moving image. You dont need to implement this yourself (we can create a new competition for that), but we would need to know how you see the movement element working - as a guide see the instructions accompanying the design were currently considering, at http://www.frontierjapan.com/new-id…ctions.jpg .
Any images used on the website should be either royalty free for commercial use or provided by us (in which case please just leave a space where images should be and note any ideas/suggestions).
>> Flash: $150
If you choose to have a go at designing a completely new identity for us and you happen to be good with flash, then instead of writing instructions for movement feel free to create a ready-to-go Flash file. If we like it well up the prize to a total $600.
If you need any further guidance or info please feel free to message me.
Best of luck!
P.S. We need this asap, so whilst we've left the competition open for 10 days we're keen to close early if possible.
I have added some more information about our company and the business card culture in Japan on the discussion page for this contest to give you more to work with.
Please see http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplac…mment30703

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sarah M from Great easy cookies These turned out beautifully and were very easy to make. As for taste, sweetness was about a 5 on a 1-10 scale, and the cocoa taste was more muted than red velvet made from scratch. But they are visually stunning and I think would be improved with the suggested cheesecake frosting. Instead, I went for a Christmas themed snow sprinkle topping courtesy of WS. Very much recommend (but the seasonal gooey pumpkin bars are better for the record).Date published: 2018-12-21Rated 5 out of 5 by SuzyHawaii from Loved them!! My husband and I both LOVE these cookies!! They turn out amazing every time! Texture is great! If you think they have too much sugar just don't pour the whole bag in the mix!Date published: 2016-01-20Rated 3 out of 5 by AryaWC from I was not impressed... The mix contained so much sugar that I could smell it through the box. I prefer red velvet recipes that have a stronger chocolate taste, which this did not seem to have. However, my husband and his colleagues loved them, so perhaps it's a matter of preference.Date published: 2016-01-10

Letter of thanks: Quieting the chirp
Grand County, CO Colorado
The Sky-Hi News would like to recognize the firefighters at Granby Fire for their neighborly assistance. A very difficult-to-reach fire alarm on the ceiling of the pressroom had been chirping periodically for several months. On last week, three friendly firefighters came by with a great-big ladder and a 9-volt battery, set up the ladder in the warehouse loft to reach the alarm situated about 35 feet high, and magically stopped the annoying chirping that had plagued the newsroom for some time. All of us in the office of the Sky-Hi News are supremely grateful.

(AllHipHop News) The often love-hate relationship between entertainers and the media can lead to some bitter outcomes especially when a celebrity feels they have been misrepresented by a publication. For legendary producer Dr. Dre it seems he feels one particular website crossed the line when they reported that he was leaving his wife for a video vixen.
[ALSO READ: Lil Kim May Be Facing Lawsuit For Allegedly Stealing Selfie Pic]
TMZ obtained a cease and desist letter from Dre's attorneys sent to the gossip site TheDirty.com. Dre is demanding that the site remove all posts suggesting that he slept with a women named Kili Anderson.
On October 28th, The Dirty published a post titled "Dr. Dre's Mistress Kili Anderson" which allegedly featured photos of Dre and Anderson together. The post also suggests that the "booty model/gold digger" believed that The Chronic producer was going to drop his wife for her. A later post called "Dr. Dre Is Allowed To Have Numerous Relationships" has a picture of a ring that the site claims was given to Anderson by Dre.
The lawyer's letter says the posts contain "scandalous, false accusations" about Dr. Dre and calls The Dirty's articles "demonstrably false and libelous."
TheDirty.com was founded in 2007 by Hooman Abedi Karamian aka Nik Ritchie.

REMICADE® in Pediatric Crohn's Disease (PCD)
REMICADE® has been approved for the treatment of pediatric patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease who had an inadequate response to conventional therapies.
Because the presentation of CD in children is similar to that in adults, the same pathophysiologic mechanisms involving tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) are believed to be present in children.1
The pivotal pediatric trial of REMICADE®, "A Randomized, multicenter, open-label study to Evaluate the safety and efficacy of Anti-TNF-a Chimeric monoclonal antibody in pediatric subjects with moderate to severe Crohn's disease" (REACH study), was conducted to determine efficacy and safety in patients 6 to 17 years of age.1
REACH trial background1
REACH was a multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled trial, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of REMICADE® in 112 pediatric patients (ages 6 to 17 years). All patients were required to be on a stable dose of azathioprine (AZA), 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP), or methotrexate (MTX); 35% were also receiving corticosteroids at baseline.
The primary objective of this trial was to evaluate the efficacy of a 3-dose induction regimen of REMICADE® in reducing signs and symptoms in pediatric patients with moderately to severely active CD. Additionally, the safety profile of REMICADE® in these patients was also evaluated. The secondary objective was to compare maintenance of clinical response and remission with REMICADE® 5 mg/kg administered every 8 weeks or every 12 weeks. REMICADE® 5 mg/kg administered every 12 weeks is not an approved dosing regimen.
Patients included in the trial had moderate to severe CD (Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index [PCDAI] >30). Induction of clinical response, the primary endpoint, was evaluated 10 weeks after the initial infusion. At Week 54, clinical response, clinical remission, and change from baseline in average daily corticosteroid use were evaluated as secondary efficacy endpoints. Clinical response was defined as a decrease of ≥15 in the PCDAI and a total PCDAI score of ≤30. Clinical remission was defined as a PCDAI score of ≤10.
Of the 112 patients enrolled in this study, 103 patients were subsequently randomized to REMICADE® 5 mg/kg every 8 weeks (n=52) or every 12 weeks (n=51) through Week 46.
REACH study findings1
Clinical response at Week 10, the primary endpoint, was achieved in 88% of the patients.
In pediatric patients with CD receiving REMICADE® every 8 weeks, 70% (17/24) eliminated steroid use through Week 54 (P<0.001).1
REMICADE® is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms and inducing and maintaining clinical remission in adult and pediatric patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD) who have had an inadequate response to conventional therapy.

It's Como Time
George Clooney, his producing partner Grant Heslov, and Matt Damon have been shooting The Monuments Men in Germany the last couple of months. Evidently they needed a break. So they spent a few days in Italy...
It's almost summertime. Which means it's Como Time. At least it is for George, who has no wife and children to go back to during his down time. Here he is out for a spin on his bike. You'll note how chill he is when there are probably dozens of paps following him around. Instead of leading them on dangerous high speed chases on winding roads, he maintains his cool, because that's just life for him now. It's the balance of a fine life that includes seasonal experiences at his Lake Como estate.
For the last two summers, Stacy Keibler has been the Lady of Lake Como. Is she going for three straight? They've spent a lot of time apart this year so far. And they've tried to deny that it's ending. Breakup speculation is coming around again. I wonder if he's ready to admit it yet. I mean, you do it at the beginning of the summer to start your Como off with fresh companions, right?

Denver: State trooper kidnapped, shot in the head
By the day he was kidnapped and murdered, Thomas Ray Carpenter had been a Colorado state trooper for five years. The 31-year-old man had become a trooper in 1968 after serving three years in the U.S. Marine Corps. He was a highly regarded and decorated trooper.
Carpenter was married to Phyllis and the couple had three young children, ages 9, 7, and 4. They lived in Lafayette. He was a quiet, religious man who didn't drink alcohol. He wanted to make a career of being a CSP trooper.
Carpenter was assigned to the Colorado State Patrol's Broomfield district that Thursday, Dec. 27, 1973. He worked the Interstate 25 corridor.
9:58 a.m.
He drove to the side of U.S. 36 near Broadway that morning. A car was pulled off on the shoulder of the highway. Carpenter was either intending to see if he could help a stranded motorist or he had seen something that appeared to be suspicious.
He did not make a radio report that he had pulled over at the time. Witnesses would later tell police that they saw Carpenter driving a patrol car with two men in the back seat at about the same time.
That morning at 9:58 a.m., Carpenter received a call from a dispatcher to go to an accident at East 58th Avenue and I-25. He told the dispatcher that he was at Interstate 70 and Havana at the time.
That was somewhat odd. He was about eight miles east from the area he was supposed to patrol.
10:04 a.m.
A dispatcher called again six minutes after the first call to ask Carpenter if he was going to the accident.
"10-4…I'm on my way," he replied tersely.
Minutes later, a Denver police officer saw the patrol car in a parking lot behind the Lakes apartment complex at 13870 Albrook Drive in Montbello in northeast Denver.

Looking for a logo for a startup nonprofit that will encourage U.S. immigrants to learn a/b and exercise the freedom available to them in the U.S. and provide educational opportunities and other information/assistance to them.
Newfound Freedom
Desired Color Scheme:
Red, White, and Blue (other colors are ok)
Desired Style:
Clean, Web 2.0-like, professional, bold and patriotic
Accepted File Formats:
PSD or similar vector file, source layers/fonts, plus png/jpg for web
Im looking for a logo for an innovative, startup non-profit named Newfound Freedom. The organization will provide educational opportunities and maintain an online portal/community for U.S. immigrants. Ive had some ideas for the logo design but the essence of what Im hoping for is a logo that conveys the notion of the U.S. as a Melting Pot of cultures with a rich heritage and where there is freedom and opportunity without bounds.
Some of my ideas are belowbut I dont want to stifle any creativity. So, dont consider any of these as requirementsthey are just thoughts:
Elements I like:
I like the idea of the logo being bold and patriotic but not too much so. I also like some of the characteristics of Web 2.0 styled logoi.e. subtle gradients, transparency, softened colors, rounded corners, etc. Some sort of balance between these two may work out.
I like the idea of incorporating patriotic symbols like an eagle, stars, the Statue of Liberty (or her torch), and the American flag may work. Ive also thought of incorporating 13 stars to represent the original colonies.
I like the way this logo looks like three people coming together but dont like the sharp cornersmakes it look like a maple leaf:
The winning logo here looks decent:
I like the cutout people holding hands on this site (not in the logo):
The logo here is nice but perhaps a bit too simple for me:
Another considerationI will am currently leaning towards use the following Joomla template for the website (using the style 6 color scheme):
Bottom Line: use your imagination! I will pick a winner (and pay) even if I dont get something I like. This is the first contest Ive held. If all goes well, I may hold other contests for more design work for the same organization. If I really like the outcome of this, I may pay a small bonus and may do the same for second place but I wont promise:)

Leading Swiss retail chain harmonizes IT processes and capacity management
ORSYP, a leading provider of IT Operations Management solutions, today announced that Migros, the largest retail chain in Switzerland, is expanding its adoption of ORSYP solutions for IT workload automation and replacing legacy systems from CA Technologies. Migros will benefit from a unified platform of ORSYP's Dollar Universe as the centralized job scheduling solution, especially for the automation of its business critical SAP system clusters.
ORSYP Dollar Universe unifies the automation of all logistical IT transactions across a multitude of business applications, technologies and operating systems running in geographically remote datacenters across Migros' cooperative structure. Dollar Universe provides Migros with a centralized view, from event-based management through to a complete process-oriented management of the entire IT infrastructure and applications.
The benefits of the "one job scheduler" strategy: optimization, end-to-end visibility and continuous real-time management of all IT processes, appropriate reporting covering the entire production environment as well as risk mitigation during disaster recovery.
"We are delighted to expand our long-term relationship with ORSYP to set the course for the future," explains Patrick Mosberger, head of infrastructure services at Migros. "In particular, ORSYP's successful track record as well as their unique peer-to-peer architecture matches with our strategy of the 'one job scheduler' – this provides a significant contribution to consolidating our IT infrastructure. Finally, Dollar Universe enables us both to achieve a higher degree in our organizational structure and stability of the IT operations at the same time."
We are happy about the renewed sign of trust from Migros as well as their willingness to go towards into a joint future," Steffen Mandt, General Manager ORSYP DACH comments. "We are engaged with Migros in a long-term and strategic partnership and Migros replacing CA Technology's legacy systems proves again that ORSYP's modern solution set is rightly leading the area of workload automation."
About MIGROS
Migros is Switzerland's biggest retailer. With its more than 86,000 employees coming from over 140 countries, Migros is also the biggest private employer in the country, realizing a turnover of 24.8 billion Swiss francs (approx. 20.5 billion euros) in 2011.

Any commercial dishwasher or commercial glass washer that we supply are designed to cut down on time and labor for you and your staff and make excellent additions to the kitchen appliances that you may already have. Our equipment is designed with ease of use, reliability and cost in mind. We know that running costs are a big factor in commercial and industrial kitchens so detergent use rate and energy efficiency have been paid attention to. For more information on this, see our product specifications.
One of the toughest decisions to make when you're shopping around for a professional dishwasher, catering supplies or professional glass washers, is knowing what model to buy and which features are right for your needs. The first thing to do is to think about the type of things that you're going to be washing most often, for example, if you mainly work with glasses then a commercial glass washer may be the perfect machine for you.
If you're catering suppliers working within the confines of a small kitchen, it may be worth considering a catering dishwasher that's integrated and which will be tucked neatly out of the way for your restaurant equipment. There are also industrial dishwasher features that promote energy conservation and can save you money too, these typically cost a little more at the start but if you use them heavily, the extra cost soon becomes more than worth it in the long run. Commercial dishwasher detergent is something that you may also need to think about in order to get this dishes sparkling!
Got a question about a commercial dishwasher? Or looking for detergent? Then give us a call, we're based in the UK.
Our customer service team is here to help, so if you have an industrial dishwasher query then don't be afraid to pick up the phone or alternatively send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com or use our contact form page HERE.

Citing job poaching by rival unions, the International Longshoremen's Association had disaffiliated with an AFL-CIO maritime coalition, opting instead to form its own group.
The new Maritime Labor Alliance includes the ILA, which is the dominant dockworker union on the East Coast; the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, a big presence on the West Coast; the Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association; the International Organization of Masters, Mates and Pilots; and two other labor organizations.
Three of the groups, ILA, MEBA and IOMM&P split from the AFL-CIO's Maritime Trades Department.
ILA said Tuesday that a fellow member of the trades department, the International Union of Operating Engineers, has recently tried to poach jobs from Charleston, S.C., ILA members and ILWU grain handlers in Washington State.
And it added MEBA and IOMM&P has waged "jurisdictional battles" against the American Maritime Officers union, another trades department affiliate.
"It's time for those maritime unions that respect each other's jurisdiction and fight for the good of its members to join together to become the new and true voice of maritime unions in America," said ILA president Harold J. Daggett in a statement.
The ILA remains a part of the AFL-CIO as well as its Transportation Trades Department.

Naveen Jindal School of Management
The Naveen Jindal School of Management 's mission is to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing, technology driven, global society by partnering with the business community to:
- Conduct research enhancing management knowledge;
- Deliver high quality management education to a diverse group of undergraduate and graduate students and practicing executives;
- Develop, innovate and continuously improve programs advancing management education and practice.
The Naveen Jindal School of Management is committed to providing our students with an outstanding educational experience that will expand and hone their skill sets, help them become leaders of business and leave them with strong career prospects. Focusing on the rapidly changing challenges of our technology-driven global society, many of the School's programs have been instituted in response to requests from business and designed to meet the needs of tomorrow's industry. Our programs stress innovations in the latest technologies while providing a foundation in the basics of business management.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration is designed to provide students with a broad preparation for a business career and to lay the foundation for further study in business administration. Emphasis is placed on problem solving techniques that are crucial in the modern business environment. The Bachelor of Science in Business Administration offers concentrations in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Operations Management, and Organizational Behavior in addition to the general degree. Double majors with Biology and Molecular Biology are offered in conjunction with the Biology Department.
The program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Accounting provides students a broad-based education that balances conceptual with pragmatic knowledge and exposes accounting students to other related areas. The objective of the program is to develop professionals who understand the role of information in organizations and financial markets; have the necessary skills to integrate financial analysis and information technology; and possess analytical and management functional area skills. Completion of this program will enable students to seek careers in information-intensive organizations as information managers, consultants or financial analysts. Students who desire a comprehensive accounting education and are seeking to become Certified Public Accountants are advised to pursue the 150 credit-hour, B.S. and M.S. Fast-Track Program in Accounting. Students who successfully complete both degrees may choose to sit for the CPA examination upon completion of the 150 semester hour educational requirement of the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Finance provides students with both practical and theoretical training in financial decision making. Students who choose this degree will have the opportunity to develop the quantitative skills required to rigorously analyze financial information, the analytical foundation needed for making corporate financial decisions, and the problem solving skills necessary for prudent investment management. Completion of the degree requirements will permit students to seek careers as financial analysts, as well as careers with corporations, financial institutions and government agencies. With the appropriate choice of courses, a student should be able to successfully complete the Certified Financial Planning (CFP®) program. A double major is also offered in conjunction with the Economics program to students interested in pursuing the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) designation. The CFA® program, administered by the CFA® Institute, is a globally recognized standard for measuring the competence and integrity of financial analysts. Like the Bachelor of Science degree in Finance, the double major prepares students for the CFA® Level I examination. However, the double major provides students with more analytical preparation for the Level II and III examinations, which typically require graduate course work as well.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Global Business provides students with the knowledge and skills required for succeeding as a global manager while developing an understanding of the cultural, political and regulatory environments that shape international business and trade. Students who enroll in this program will learn the skills necessary for understanding the international business environments and financial markets, cross-cultural communication and negotiation, international human resource management, formulating and implementing global strategy, as well as marketing on a global basis. Completion of this program will enable students to seek careers in multinational corporations, consultancy firms, or internationally oriented organizations that operate in today's increasingly globalized economy.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Management Information Systems provides students with both practical and theoretical training in information technology which has become an integral part of every aspect of business. The objective of the program is to prepare professionals who understand business processes and the information required to support them, have the IT expertise to automate, improve, and re-engineer business processes; and develop an ability to keep up with the changing technology and information needs of business. Completion of the degree requirements will permit students to seek careers as business analysts, application developers, and IT consultants in many industries including corporations and government agencies. With the appropriate choice of courses, a student should be able to successfully get certified in areas such as SAP, SAS Business Intelligence, and Information Security.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing provides students with the necessary knowledge to make good marketing decisions. Students will be exposed to the theoretical foundations of marketing in addition to obtaining practical training needed to make decisions with respect to sales management, customer service, pricing, promotions, market research, and marketing strategy. Students will have the opportunity to develop their analytical and quantitative skills required to analyze marketing and sales data, to formulate strategic responses to competitive moves, and to develop long term and short term marketing plans. Students who complete this degree can seek careers in sales, marketing research, brand management, and advertising and promotions.
All degrees contain a central core of 27 hours. In the core courses, students have an opportunity to learn theories and analytical techniques that can be applied to the functional areas of business, such as finance and marketing. They are exposed to the international dimensions of business activities and to social and political factors that impinge on business behavior. A capstone course in strategic management provides an integrative experience where students are challenged to solve real world business problems. Fifty percent of the total business credit hours must be taken at UT Dallas.
Students are also required to take courses outside the Naveen Jindal School of Management in order to broaden their educational experience in preparation for leadership roles as professionals and/or managers in the modern business organization.

Professional Program in Accounting
The Professional Program in Accounting (PPA) is designed for students who wish to pursue a career in professional accounting. This program is a two-and-a-half year program beginning in the spring semester of the student's junior year. Qualified students will earn their Bachelor of Science in Accounting degree once all degree requirements for the bachelor's degree have been satisfied, additionally, the Master of Science in Accounting (MS-ACCT) degree will be awarded upon successful completion of requirements for that degree. The goals of the program are to place PPA students in professional accounting internships and full-time positions, increase networking opportunities among students with professionals, and prepare students to become Certified Public Accountants. Applications to the program are accepted in the fall semester of a student's junior year. Applications and detailed information are available in the Naveen Jindal School of Management Advising Office.
Fast Track Baccalaureate/Master's Degrees
Fast Track programs are designed to permit undergraduate students enrolled at UT Dallas to begin work on the MBA or M.S. degrees before graduation. Qualified seniors may take graduate courses in Management that will apply toward the Bachelor of Science degree and also satisfy requirements for the Master's degree. These courses are selected from a list determined by the School.
Fast Track courses taken during the undergraduate senior year must be well chosen so that they satisfy the requirements of the B.S. degree AND those of the intended MBA/M.S. degree. Students in one major may choose to Fast Track into another major. Students can take the Fast Track courses as substitutes for major related courses, as guided and/or Free Electives. Students from other Schools at UTD can Fast Track into JSOM degrees as long as they meet the Fast Track admission requirements. Students must earn a grade of at least B in Fast Track courses - otherwise the courses only count toward the undergraduate degree.
Admission to a Fast Track program does not guarantee admission to the graduate program. Students are required to meet the admission requirements of the MBA and M.S. programs to which they apply, including the GMAT. Students may delay for up to one year entering the graduate program and have their Fast Track courses count toward their graduate degree.
Students can also take graduate courses to apply toward either undergraduate or graduate credit. Students must submit an acceptable GMAT score and receive permission from the Associate Dean before taking more than 12 graduate hours for any use. Details of the programs are available from the Naveen Jindal School of Management Advising Office.

Electric car "range anxiety?" Real, says GM, anyway. So, to limit the potential for mass hysteria as future commuters' e-tank gauges slide slowly towards E, a solution is needed. Mitsubishi's portable, networked charging stations could be a start.
The portable prototype networked charging stations are the work of Zafer Sahinoglu, at the Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and they'll do pretty much what you might think:
To determine where the stations are needed, in-car sensors would monitor the level of charge in the battery and periodically report this to a central operations centre, which would flag areas where most cars run low on juice. The stations can then be deployed wherever the low-charge "hotspots" are at that time. Just five mobile stations would be needed to cover 100 electric cars on a 100-kilometre stretch of highway, the team says. - New Scientist
To reduce strain on the grid, the portable stations would fill up with juice at night, when demand is low, and then dispense their energy goodness to thirsty vehicles during the day. [New Scientist, Image]

With the Forest River RVs, being out in nature does not mean you have to leave all of the luxuries of home behind. Every model is designed keeping the needs of the 21st century. With all the necessities you need at hand, you are at home wherever you go. And the room service is as impeccable as you can make it.
We say, why not go RVing! RV travel is a great way to see the country in comfort. RVing allows you to vacation without the stresses associated with commercial transportation and increased security measures. You do not have the cost of hotels and food can be prepared in the RV to avoid spending money dining out. It is also a great feeling to explore destinations at your own pace and even bring along items like bicycles that would otherwise have to be rented.
If you are a pet lover, you no longer have to leave them behind or locate a pet friendly hotel. RVing with children is a wonderful experience as well because it gives them a chance to unplug and experience nature first hand. Besides, you'll never know what you are missing out on, if you never try.
RVs are available in many different configurations. They can be pulled behind a vehicle or driven from what RVers call a cockpit. Towable RVs can be attached to your vehicles bumper hitch or to a specialized hitch in the bed of a pick-up truck. The sizes range from a small fold out trailer that has tent sides to a large 40 foot long motorhome.
At Forest River, we are leaders in building RVs, but more importantly, we are experts in creating those exceptional moments of laughter and joy. We have RVs best suited for various needs, interests, budgets and lifestyles. Whether it is tent-campers, travel trailers, fifth wheel or a motorhome, each unit is very carefully crafted, awaiting a journey to begin.
Knowing how often you plan on taking an RV trip is important to determine before buying an RV. RVers that travel often, for example every weekend, will usually look for a smaller easier to tow or drive model. If you plan on leaving the RV at a destination or staying in it for a long period of time, a larger RV model could be right for you. Be sure to check your desired RV vacation spots for their size requirements.
It is important to determine what RV campgrounds and resorts are within your desired driving distance. A longer driving distance will require you to bring more food and supplies which will increase the weight of the RV. Having extra weight in an RV will affect how it tows and drives. Also, being far from home or civilization may require you to have an RV with extra amenities. There are many places that offer electrical and sewer hook-ups but is important to know where they are and how much it costs per night.
With Forest River RVs, being out in nature does not mean you have to leave all of the luxuries of home behind. Every model is designed keeping the needs of the 21st century. A single RV model can include a leather sofa, an oven to bake in, a washer/dryer combo and LED TVs connected to a satellite on the roof. They can also just include the basics like a comfortable bed and a place to dine with friends and family. Determining what you need to have in your RV to feel comfortable is important in order to enjoy the rving experience. At Forest River, many of us are RVers ourselves. Hence, we understand the practical side of RVing and we take those into consideration in designing RVs that are well suited to your needs.
The number of people that will be using your RV will determine your sleeping capacity and living space requirements. Many floorplans feature bunk beds that are great for children and guests. Most models have dinette tables that convert into a bed and some models feature a hide-a-bed sofa. If you need more living space then you may want to consider an RV with one or more slide-outs. Slide-outs are additional living areas that slide out with a push of a button.
Your one stop to find the RV that is right for you and your family.
Each piece is carefully crafted and undergoes a detailed pre-delivery inspection process...

It is axiomatic that a company's stock's price is the present value of all future cash flows it is likely to pay out, and that earnings constitute one gage of a company's economic value. Unfortunately, there is often a lot of smoke between published profits according to generally accepted accounting principles and the real output of a company.

Most investors are looking for a way to either increase their returns or reduce their risk. Though options have the ability to do both these things, many people don't understand what options are or how to use them. They also think that options are too difficult and complex to learn, though once learned, the endless supply of options combinations tends to be a blessing, not a curse.

Estimates of such data are issued quarterly, with two subsequent monthly revisions being released. The initial estimate of a quarter's GDP is issued late in the month following the end of that three-month period. First and second revisions come out the following two months. It should be noted that this initial estimate of a quarter's GDP is based on data that are incomplete. Accordingly, there can be some dramatic revisions as surveys become more complete.

Immediately after surgery, the reconstructed breast(s) may be covered with dressings. Alternatively, the wound may be held together with sticky plastic strips, which are left in place until the wound has healed.
Your surgeon or nurse will tell you whether you should keep the area dry or if you can gently shower the wound with clean water. Pat the wound area dry with a clean towel – don't rub it. Once the wound has healed you can bath or shower as normal. Wash with lukewarm water and unperfumed soap, and rinse the wound well.
Your new breast(s) will be swollen to begin with. Your reconstructed breast(s) will gradually get smaller over a few weeks or months as the swelling goes down.

Fallstrom found the net for the second straight night (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Goaltender Andy Iles made 33 saves to allow Cornell to survive with a 2-1 win against the Harvard men's hockey team in the 135th renewal of one of college hockey's most storied rivalries Saturday night at sold-out Bright Hockey Center.
Iles stopped Harvard's last 22 shots after Alex Fallstrom scored to tie the game in the first period. The Crimson (4-16-0, 3-12-0 ECAC Hockey, 0-6-0 Ivy League) could not find an equalizer despite three power plays in the third period, coming close several times and outshooting the Big Red (9-9-3, 7-5-2, 2-3-1), 11-3, in the final 20 minutes.
Down 2-1 entering the third frame, the Crimson applied steady pressure on the Big Red throughout. On a power play with less than eight minutes to go, Harvard captain Michael Del Mauro charged toward the net for the loose puckfollowing an Iles save on Chris Huxley. The momentum of the play pushed Iles halfway into the net, but a lengthy review upheld the referees' call of no goal.
With about six minutes remaining, Conor Morrison set up a streaking Danny Biega for a one-timer at the left post, but Iles stopped the puck at the goal line with the back of his arm.
Harvard controlled the shot count from start to finish, registering 34 shots to Cornell's 20. Aided by an early Cornell penalty, Harvard exploded out of the gate, piling up seven shots in the first three minutes of the game. Cornell made its first shot count 4:45 into the game, as Mike Devin's slap shot found its way through traffic for a 1-0 Big Red lead.
The Crimson tied the score at 1-1 with 5:26 on the clock on Fallstrom's unassisted effort. Thwarting a Big Red breakout attempt, Fallstrom intercepted a short pass just above the hash marks and squeezed through two defenders before coming free and finding the net over Iles' blocker arm. Harvard outshot the Big Red, 13-10, in the first period.
Midway through the second period, Harvard had another great opportunity when Morrison slid a quick pass through adefender's leg to find Alex Killorn alone a few feet above the crease. Killorn attempted to gain an angle on Iles, stickhandling to the goaltender's left, but Iles' outstretched leg denied him and kept the score tied.
For most of the second period, the Crimson and the Big Red skated to a stalemate, but with 2:14 remaining in the period, Cornell's Locke Jillson scored a power-play goal to make it 2-1. Dustin Mowrey carried deep into the right side of the Harvard zone and found Jillson streaking toward the net for the finish from the doorstep. Harvard held a 10-7 edge in second-period shots.
Harvard nearly doubled up Cornell in faceoff wins, 30-16. Killorn posted a 7-3 record, while David Valek was 5-1 and Michael Del Mauro was 4-1. Killorn fired a game-high eight shots on goal, while Huxley logged five.

Micheal Bledsoe, owner of E=MC2 Ltd., a Sacramento, California, total-solution provider for individual users, SOHOs and BROs (Branch Regional Offices), uses his own equipment to intentionally create the massive computer crashes his clients are likely to experience by piling software on their systems. In doing so, he needs strong utilities to repair the damage. "I have about every Symantec product," Bledsoe says. "I've been using Norton Utilities for more than 10 years; I used Norton AntiVirus prior to becoming a reseller."
Bledsoe tried other anti-virus products but prefers Norton for its ease of use, among other things. Bledsoe also likes Norton's broad range of virus definitions and automatic updates, which have saved him and his customers numerous times.
With the Norton disks and Windows 95 recovery disk, Bledsoe boasts he can recover from just about any desktop failure. And he should know--he starts his computer with 45 to 50 programs to pin-point problems. The drama increases when he's working on a customer's system: "You're trying to bring back data and charging a lot of money for it," says Bledsoe. "You're not sure it will come back up, but there it is."
Lately, Bledsoe has been recommending customers buy three products to save his time and their money: pcANYWHERE, Norton AntiVirus and Stack Replica Version 3 (for NT). With those programs loaded, Bledsoe says, "I can get a completely crashed system back with three keystrokes."
