Residents of Cleveland met in an effort to fight off any attempts by the federal government to close their post office. Rural post offices throughout the nation are living with the fear that their post offices may be closed. Several post offices in Emery County may be in jeopardy. Smaller post offices that may be affected include Emery, Clawson, Cleveland and Elmo. The United States Post Office has been operating in the red for several years due to a decrease in the volume of items being mailed and increased costs of employees and benefits.
In Cleveland residents were instructed by Colleen Hansen to be united. At one time in the past there were efforts to close the Cleveland post office and the community rallied around against the closure. She instructed the residents they might receive a questionnaire in the mail from the US Postal Service and they must be careful in answering the questionnaire. There will be a number of questions on the questionnaire which would include alternatives to receiving mail at the post office. Alternatives listed could include: cluster boxes where boxes are placed in neighborhoods and mail is received to these locked boxes. Another option listed will be a village post office. In this situation post office boxes would be placed within a store or business in the town. The other alternative listed could mean combining with another post office in the area.
Right now Cleveland doesn't have an appointed postmaster. That is one drawback for Cleveland right now.
There are rules and regulations the government must follow before it can close a post office. The postal service is trying to look for cost cutting measures so they can remain solvent. It was reported closing post offices will only save 7/10ths of 1 percent for the postal service so other cost cutting measures should be implemented before rural communities lose their post offices.
A closure process lasting at least four months would have to be followed. Jamie Jensen, town clerk, said she has talked to the Clawson postmaster and she said residents in her community would rather go to Castle Dale for their mail if their post office is closed. Right now, Clawson post office is on alert. No closure would take place until the end of December.
Shane Clifford is an attorney who lives in Cleveland. He has agreed to be the chairman of the committee to keep Cleveland's post office open. Clifford said, ""Being united is important. We want our post office and that is the only acceptable decision. We need to get a committee together and make people aware of what's going on."
Other suggestions of action includes writing to your senators and congressman telling them you need your post office. When and if the questionnaires are sent out, they need to be filled out for the good of the entire community. Jensen said she has sent a letter to all the Cleveland residents with the representatives and senators addresses.
Clifford said he has been in Cleveland since the beginning of the year. He said things need to be put down in writing of how to proceed against possible closure. Under federal law there are several points that need to be addressed by the government. They must consider the affect of closure on the employees of the post office and the entire community in general. It's written in the policy of the government that the post office should provide service to rural communities and this service should be conducted regardless of whether or not that rural post office is profitable. Written findings must be available and these findings are subject to a 60 day comment period. Clifford instructed during this 60 day comment period everyone should comment they want their post office to remain in tact and also any protests should be planned for this time. A meeting goer suggested picketing at the post office with signs that declare the post office should remain open. All community members will be invited to participate in any protests.
Clifford said the more evidence Cleveland residents can collect as to why their post office should remain open, the better off they will be.
Cleveland residents were encouraged to use their post office. Buy your stamps, ship your packages and do as much business there as you can.
One number thrown out was Cleveland post office operates with a deficit of $70,000 per year. These numbers weren't confirmed though because the actual financial details were unavailable and requests for financial information weren't filled. It was reported Cleveland post office pays a $16,000 yearly lease for the building. William B. Rose and Sharon S. Rose, doctors from California, own the building and use the proceeds for their retirement fund. Someone wondered if the owners shouldn't be alerted there is talk of possible closures. One resident also wondered if the town should try to buy the building from the owners.
Meeting goers resolved the most important thing to date is to get the word out and make people aware of what might be coming ahead. Hansen said, "Get the word out, we count on our post office; we need our post office. Respond to the questionnaire when it comes out, Keep our post office here."
Clifford said to keep copies of any letters sent to senators and representatives and he will include them in a brief he will prepare as to why the post office needs to remain open in Cleveland.
It was mentioned that all post office employees and postmasters are not asked to comment regarding any closure proceedings.
After the postal service publishes its findings there is a 60 day comment period and a 30 day appeal period. The postal service has 120 days before they have to make any decisions.
Residents were encouraged to write letters and to put up a fight to save their post office.
Sandra Justice is the current postmaster in Clawson. She has been there for 31 years. She is nearing retirement. She said the US Postal Service has informed them their post office and Emery's post office have been identified and are being looked at for possible closure or combining.
Right now they are waiting and the postal service has informed them they will keep them advised. Clawson isn't a good candidate for a village post office because they don't have a store, the only possiblility would be the city hall building which is currently only open one day a week. Clawson has experienced declining revenue the past years also.
Justice said they don't replace post masters any more. No questionaires have been sent out to Clawson residents. The postal service said they may soon send letters, but nothing has happened yet. The postal service will also plan a town meeting. The people in Clawson currently have 24 hour access to their post office boxes.
Justice thinks Congress should work with the post office to find creative ways to keep the postal service solvent. The issues with the retirement fund need to be worked out. "Right now we are just waiting," said Justice.
Her Clawson residents said they would like to keep their post office it is important to their community and a gathering place. It is a historic building.

Nice routine by the JPN couple. Fall on the throw jump by her & their sbs spins were off, but not a bad beginning for this very young couple.
And they go into 3rd place.
Such a genuine response from the Japanese skater... "Oh boy..." He's not thrilled with that one. Next time!
that fall looked like it hurt... not enough height? she was still rotating it looked like...
ETA - are there swine flu worries at NHK? I've seen quite a few masks.
Takahashi And Tran had such a good Junior grand prix, so the performance is disappointing. Well now they can prepare for JGPFs.
Nice routine by the CAN couple. Just a fall on a throw jump by her. And oh I have to mention the music of "What A Wonderful World" (brings back gorgeous memories of Oksana Baiul skating to this in December of 2001 in a gold dress, exquisite, exquisite).
Okay, back to this nice couple from Canada, I'm over his bald head, which I didn't appreciate at a competition last week or the week before. Lol, if I can put up with John Baldwin & his head, et al, I can put up with anyone!
And they go into 2nd place.
Break, warmup time!

Multi billion dollar benefits of global switch to energy-efficient lighting01/
Cancun, 1 December 2010 - Indonesia could save $1 billion a year and cut its greenhouse gas emissions by eight million tonnes of CO2 annually - the equivalent of taking two million cars off the road a year - by switching to energy-saving bulbs .South Africa might save US$280 million a year and remove emissions equal to 625,000 cars annually by following a similar path, say findings released, Wednesday, at the climate convention meeting by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).Mexico would save US$900 million, reducing 5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions a year in a soon to be announced plan to replace incandescent lamps in the country. With the electricity saved from this small shift, 3 coal power plants would become unnecessary. It is expected that Brazil will save US$2 billion a year and 4 million tonnes of CO2 - the equivalent emissions from 1 million cars - when legislation in the country is finalized, by mid 2012. For the Ukraine, an economy in transition, the cost savings could be US$210 million per annum with greenhouse gas reductions of 2 million tonnes of CO2 a year - equal to taking half a million cars off the road annually.Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and UNEP Executive Director, said: "In reality, the actual economic benefits could be even higher. A switch to efficient lighting in Indonesia, for example, would avoid the need to build 3.5 coal-fired power stations costing US$2.5 billion and similar findings come from other country assessments"."Such calculations do not include the wider environmental, health and 'Green Economy' benefits to communities and countries of switching away from, for example, fuels such as kerosene and reducing emissions from sources such as fossil-fueled power stations - an estimated 1.8 million deaths a year are linked with in-door and 800,000 with out-door air pollution: more efficient lighting has a role to play here too". "For the past two decades, the GEF has championed market efforts to expand efficient lighting to developing countries throughout the world," said Monique Barbut, CEO and Chairperson of the Global Environment Facility. "En.lighten is the latest initiative funded by the GEF in partnership with UNEP and leading global lighting manufacturers to accelerate market transformation of efficient lighting technologies on a global scale. Through this initiative, we hope to build a strong partnership with the private sector to encourage innovation and to help those who need our help the most build brighter futures today and for the next generation."The 100 Country Lighting Assessment findings have come from the 'en.lighten initiative'- a partnership led by UNEP involving companies Osram and Philips.The initiative, which today launched detailed market assessments of the environmental and economic potential of a switch to efficient lighting in 100 countries, is supported by the Global Environment Facility under its Earth Fund. The assessments analyze the benefits of shifting the obsolete incandescent lamp technology to compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). Larger savings are expected to be achieved if other inefficient lighting technologies are also substituted, such as inefficient tube lights or inefficient halogens. The assessments show that in Africa, a country such as Nigeria could cut its electricity consumption by over 15 per cent in a switch to energy efficient lighting while reducing CO2 emissions from fuel combustion by close to five per cent.In Asia, a country like Cambodia could save over 30 per cent of its electricity consumption while reducing CO2 emissions by more than 13 per cent.In Uzbekistan, electricity consumption saving could be over 20 per cent; in Croatia, nearly 10 per cent ; in Guatemala also close to 10 per cent and in Yemen just over 10 per cent."We believe that the en.lighten initiative is an excellent example of a new category of public/private partnerships that will help accelerate sustainable growth in emerging and developing countries," says Harry Verhaar, Sr. Director Energy & Climate Change, Philips Lighting. "The switch to energy efficient lighting solutions represents a triple win for these countries and in addition this sectoral lighting approach is also a bottom-up initiative that compliments the top-down UNFCCC process," he says.According to Wolfgang Gregor, Sr. Vice-President, Sustainability for OSRAM GmbH, "We are not only responsible for what we are doing, but also for what we are not doing. Multinational lighting companies can no longer neglect the populations in developing and emerging markets. That is why OSRAM has given its firm commitment to the en.lighten initiative, as well as to combating the use of kerosene as a part of our off grid lighting project."A principle and readily available technology is the compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL). Unlike old incandescent light bulbs which produce 95 per cent heat and just five per cent light, CFLs produce an equivalent amount of light using 75 per cent less energy. They also last up to ten times longer than incandescent bulbs.But some critics have pointed to the health hazardous mercury, used in CFLs, as an issue that raises a question mark over the technology's environmental credentials.Take-back schemes and the safe disposal of CFLs is clearly a key issue which 'en.lighten' is also addressing - this is a central challenge, especially in developing countries. Meanwhile, other mercury-free technologies are also being promoted including Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).Nevertheless given that the main source of new mercury emissions world-wide is from the burning of coal, estimates indicate that overall it is far more environmentally-friendly to switch from old bulbs to new ones.One recent study by Yale University estimated that if the United States switched to CFLs, the energy savings at power stations would lead to cuts in mercury emissions of 25,000 tonnes a year. The 100 country assessments come in the wake of a UNEP study, conducted in collaboration with researchers from 25 leading climate modeling centres world-wide.This showed that if all countries met in full their pledges linked with last year's Copenhagen Accord, emissions by 2020 could fall to 49 Gigatonnes (billion).It could leave a gap of 5Gt between this current ambition and where scientists say emissions need to be in 2020 to stand a reasonable chance of keeping a global temperature rise to less than 2 degree C by 2050.The world needs quick wins to show that climate change can be controlled. A global transition to efficient lighting is perhaps the easiest method. If achieved swiftly, this victory would generate the momentum needed to achieve greater CO2 reductions in other sectors and assist towards stabilizing the climate below 2 degrees. In parallel to the assessment work, en.lighten is convening experts from over 30 developing and developed countries and various sectors, including; governments, civil society and private sector, to develop a draft road-map for the global phase-out of inefficient lighting.. The road map will include policy, technical and financial recommendations to support this transition. UNEP expects the draft road map to be tabled for global consultation in the second half of 2011. Mr. Steiner added: "Among the low hanging fruit in the climate change challenge, a switch to far more efficient lighting must rank as among the lowest. There are multiple cost effective opportunities for rapidly bridging the near term 'Gigatone gaps' from sharp increases in renewable energy to cuts in non-C02 pollutants such as methane and black carbon-readily available, efficient lighting systems is one path that is literally available at the flip of a policy switch".Key Lighting Facts Globally, 50 to 70 per cent of total lighting market sales are still of inefficient incandescent lamps. A market shift, from incandescent lamps to energy-efficient alternatives, would cut the world's electricity demand for lighting by over 2 per cent. A report by US Global Industry Analysts Inc indicates that by 2010, the industrial, commercial, residential and public lighting market will exceed US US$94 billion with a great deal of the growth in developing economies. Using current economic and energy-efficiency trends, it is projected that global demand for artificial light will be 80 per cent higher by 2030 if no switch occurs with a great deal of that linked to the construction and operation of new buildings in developing economies including China. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimated in 2007, the total electricity consumption due to lighting at 2650 TWh. This represents almost 19 per cent of global electricity use (15-17 per cent greater than nuclear or hydro power). The total global GHG emissions accrued to lighting electricity consumption was estimated in 2005 by the IEA at 1,889 MtCO2 of which grid based lighting systems contribute to 1,528 MtCO2. This is equivalent to approximately 8 per cent of world emissions or 70 per cent of the world passenger vehicle emissions If lighting technologies and efficiencies do not improve, global lighting electricity demand will reach almost twice the output of all modern nuclear power plants amounting to 4250 TWh, (TerraWatt Hours). Up to 95 per cent of the energy emitted by incandescent lamps is heat, and their efficiency is inherently low. Comparing the two types of lighting, incandescent bulbs last around 1,000 hours which is significantly shorter than energy saving lamps, with life spans of 6,000 to 12,000 hours. Some 40 countries are currently involved in transforming their lighting markets including phase-downs and phase-outs of old bulbs including Cuba, Australia and the 27 member states of the European Union the United States, Canada and the Philippines.Several other developing countries are already involved in efforts to promote the adoption of CFLs and to phase-out incandescent lamps - some with GEF support and the involvement of the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).These include China, Russia, Viet-Nam, Morocco and Cote d'Ivoire Historically, the main barrier hampering the deployment of energy-efficient lighting products was their high initial cost. When first launched in the early 1980s, CFLs were 20 to 30 times more expensive to produce than their incandescent equivalents. However, CFL costs have steadily declined through use and increased competition. They now retail for about four times the price of an incandescent lamp. Consumers have traditionally been slow to come on board and according to some reports, were initially unimpressed by early models, disliking the look and functionality of early models. Manufacturers say consumers need to understand how using energy saving bulbs will allow for long term cost savings, as well as be assured of the quality and reliability of new models. Like all fluorescent lamps, CFLs contain mercury, which complicates their disposal. Mercury is a hazardous substance in fluorescent lamps. The average mercury content in a CFL bulb is about 3 milligrams - roughly the amount it would take to cover the tip of a ball-point pen. By comparison, older thermometers contain 500 milligrams of mercury - the equivalent of more than 100 CFLsExperts emphasize that mercury is also emitted from coal-fired power stations. Studies indicate that the level of emissions from power stations linked with lighting the world's old bulbs are far higher than those linked with the disposal of energy efficient bulbs.Some manufacturers have voluntarily reduced the mercury content in CFLs by about 80 per cent in the past decade, to as little as 2 mg per bulb. Research is ongoing to achieve further mercury reductions.One promising innovation in non-domestic lighting is the development of solid state lighting (SSL). This technology is expected to achieve efficiencies at least ten times higher than incandescent lamps and up to twice as high as fluorescent lamps. Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps, aside from not containing mercury have other advantages such as long life, warm light colour similar to incandescent lamps, low heat generation and the ability to work with dimming switches in certain lamps.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
World of Warcraft correspondent Dana O`Shea gives tips, hints and non class specific advice for players who are new to PvE raiding.
This guide is intended for players who are getting ready to start PvE raiding, or have started and are having a difficult time keeping up. Or even intermediate players who just want to improve their game. Rather than giving specific tips on class play, this guide is applies to all classes and all roles. Much of this is relevant for PvP and soloing as well, but that's not my personal area of expertise.
Defining Effective Play
Effective play in a raid is doing whatever is needed to make the raid successful. All three raiding roles have desirable traits players are constantly trying to adopt. For example, these are things like quick reaction speed, strong output, and aggro management. If you try for these traits, and succeed, that's effective. If you try and don't succeed, that's ineffective.
Read Part One of The Virtues of the Effective Raider.
As usual the author missed the primary virture, "Have no life". All the ones he/she mentions are strictly secondary.
Good article man, good to see someone else uses dps meters not for glory but to see where ** I ** SUCK at pull types, with the aim that next time I will try and do a different rotation in order to up my contribution. I rarely look at the over all stats (apart from to see whose realy just plain bad/lazy) but only look at the last fight. Good addons such as recount are invaluable because they have the ability to break down your moves into graphical, readables stats. Ofc wws reprt is more acurate but its handy to see an instant 'i sucked, 2k dps that pull, try xx' or 'great i didnt die and did 4-5k dps that pull'
I know some people like to say trash doesnt matter but it does when you are aiming at timed runs etc (or just want a nice speedy night) and its good for me to know that there are very, very few pulls now where I cant pull my weight simply by trying new rotations where I realized something isnt working.
also DPS doesnt really matter as much as people make out, contrary to what some believe. I can quite easily do 15k+ on some trash. I only do about 30k damage before I die tho. Your dps is irrelevant if its at the cost of your life! And if you die you just slow everyone down
Playing polished, lag free, feature complete games is carebear. Whining about a game you hate but still play is hardcore man!
How to be a Drone 101...interesting...not.
Seriously do we need guides like this? Raids still represent everything thats wrong with alot of MMOS today..loot centricity, linear gameplay, and the ever present 'rush to end game' so people can raid. MMO's that focus on Raids should just be called MMORG's instead of RPG's there's nothing RPG about end game rushing for raid gear. I miss the days of when the Journey and the story to your character actually stood for something in MMOS. And I miss creating a character for yourself instead of creating one for everyone else. Atleast back then you'd create a char for youself. Now its all about cookie cutter pre defined roles and which ones are better so no one plays the other ones and figures out how to actually use them in an effective way.
/mini rant off
I didnt realize this was a discussion over the MERITS/CONS of raiding. seems to me to be perfectly clear its about how to be a good raider, regardless. Also whats wrong with being polite in a raid anyway? Would hardly call that being a drone, more, simply not being a prick...
Playing polished, lag free, feature complete games is carebear. Whining about a game you hate but still play is hardcore man!
Last I looked this is a Forum and I'm perfectly free to state my opinions on Raids when the Discussion is on Raids. If you dont want to hear negative thoughts on Raids then don't post on Raids.
The article flat out states to use cookie cutter builds, it pretty much states to do as your told, and eludes to basically you dont need to think for yourself as long as you know the overlords plans. Having a particular play style or a Build you like shouldn't be seen as a deteriment. If raid leaders are unable to define a plan of action that involves particular builds and playstyles outside of the norm that should actually be considered a seriously fault in a raid leader.
Just because 1 plan works doesn't mean it has to be the only plan but thats not how raids are played. They're eventually plug and play everyone does the same thing every time and everyone is built a particular way thus eliminating anyone or anything that is not built to specification. Thus everyone ends up a drone or a clone of one another in most games like WoW.
Now that we have an article on how to be effective, how about an article on how to have fun as well? I mean... that's what a game is supposed to be, right?
I'm a big ol' fluffy carewolf. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Last I checked, this subcategory of gaming is about drama, drama, mind-numbing grind, arguing with jackasses and retards, drama, ganking newbs, lewt hoarding, ruining social lives, and drama.
Where did it all go wrong?
Remember, it has to be fun to be a game. Grinding is a bedroom activity, and the point is definitely not to do my wife as fast as possible.

You know the sad part? You're absolutely right
I'm a big ol' fluffy carewolf. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
I used to be the biggest enemy of raiding. I used to loathe the raiding system and its unforgiveness, I used to hate raiders. The whole "gear up until you're strong enough for raiding" system in MMO's used to make me sick to my stomach.
Eventually, I got bored with the other content though. First I tried some other games, but found none of them offered the polish and high production values that WoW had, so eventually I came back andstarted focusing more on high end PVE, first by doing heroics, and eventually stepping foot in kharazan until i joined a raiding guild to do 25 mans too.
Now I'm turned 180 on this subject. Raiding isn't about epics or about epeen (sure there might be people out there, but surely not me), its about pure FUN!
To work together with 24 other people, each using their own skills to their best and paying attention to their surroundings, and in sync defeat the biggest challenges and defeat the strongest foes. That's what raiding is about. Sure I'm happy when a good epic drops and I win it, but what makes me far more happy is finally defeating that dragon that the guild whiped on so many times.
So I'm happy about raiding now, I find it the one challenging thing that keeps the game alive and kicking for me. The great thing about raiding in WoW though, is its completely optional. No one "needs" to raid. You can stick to small groups or even soloing dailyquests if thats what you want. And with the introduction of resilience, raiding gear isn't useful at all for PVP, its useful for raiding only, so no one who doesn't like raiding actually need the "epics" that drop in raiding instances. You can get far better PVP sets from doing PVP if thats what you're interested in.

Your game assignment actually begins well in advance of game day. Here is a list of important things to do as the assignment approaches:
Verify the assignment. At the very least, call the school within a week or so of the game. Talk to the person (usually the athletic director) who catches the heat if the officials don't show. Don't just leave a voice mail that says you're coming because you can't be sure what a lack of response means.
Confirm the time and location of the game and any special conditions that will exist. If you can, exchange cell phone numbers with the game manager, so you can inform each other of any last-minute problems all the way up to game time.
Firm up your travel arrangements. My football crew makes up a spreadsheet that includes the driver, the meeting point, who will provide the snacks and so on. Then I confirm each week's plan as one of the last things we do before we part company after the previous game. The good crew chief also insists that the whole crew has each other's cell phone numbers.
Check your equipment. Never trust anyone else to pack your gear for you. Check everything in your bag well ahead of time in case something needs mending or cleaning. A good approach, if somebody besides you washes your uniform, is to have the person return it fresh from the dryer so you can check, fold and account for it going into your bag yourself.
Do some homework. Opinions vary on how much you should find out about the teams before the game. You owe it to them and yourself to have at least some idea of how competitive and skillful it will be, plus what's on the line for each team. Conversely, you don't want to have so thick a book on the teams that you anticipate things that don't actually occur.
Check the weather on game day. If a monsoon or blizzard is in the forecast, consider padding your travel plans. Remember that one person's short sleeve weather is another person's visit to the South Pole. Get to the crew ahead of time to agree on dress and an updated travel plan well in advance.
Physically prepare. Each person has his or her own standard for sleep and food intake before a game. The best plan is to stick to it. Don't experiment the night before the championship game, especially when you travel to a place where the water or menu is likely to be different from what you're used to.
Adjust your workout routine and preparation as the season progresses. Watch for the signs of feeling stiffer and less flexible that come when you're working too much. Allow yourself more recovery time. It's easier to stay in shape than get back in shape with each passing year.
In all your preparations for an assignment, bear in mind a sure way to ruin a reputation is to miss an assignment in a way that was avoidable. Never assume details. Look after yourself and you'll be a long way toward being the type of official who keeps getting invited back.

As the title says, this is a computer related question.
One afternoon, i had 2 windows in my computer minimized, one was a folder(like a folder with anime episodes) and the other was a website i had opened.
So, as i am watching tv laying on my bed, i let my 2 year old niece play around with the keys in the keyboard, idk what she did but she shut off my computer, or so it seemed.
I looked at the power-light and it seemed it was off, since there was no light( when its on, the light is blue, when is in stand-by or sleep mode its yellow).
At first i tried pressing keys, pressing and moving my mouse, no reaction, so it seemed like it was fully off, no sound from the cpu at all, and btw it is a desktop.
So i press my turn on button, and a few seconds later, it only showed the windows loading screen for like 5 seconds it went all the way straight to how it was before my niece ever touched the computer, with my 2 windows minimized.
How did she put it in a like super stand-by mode that seemed to have left the computer completely turned off???????

By KEN LARSENSalt Lake City
Happy Fourth of July to the Entire World.
I just finished reading The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America.
It is my custom to read this document at least every Fourth of July. The Utah Constitution says, "Frequent recurrence to fundamental principles is essential to the security of individual rights and the perpetuity of free government." (Art I, Sec 27) I suppose "frequent" means more often than once a year. Those fundamental principles are in the Declaration of Independence. It just might be the most important non-religious document ever written by man. Surely, it belongs in the heart of every freedom-loving human. Those fundamental principles are eloquently listed in the second paragraph of the Declaration. They are five:
1. We are all equal. I am not aware of any government accepting that principle before July 4, 1776. No class distinctions. No aristocracy. All are equal before the law. Perhaps they didn't practice it, but, they dared to say it. It remains as an ideal yet to be achieved.
2. Each of us has equal rights that must not be violated. Those rights include our life and its defense. They include the freedom to choose any action or activity that we believe will make us happy. These rights are only to be limited by the first principle, that we are all equal and none of us has the right to violate the equal rights of others. Again, this principle remains an ideal yet to be achieved.
3. The only just purpose of government is to secure the personal rights of every individual within its jurisdiction. This, too, is a principle we will achieve in the future. We will achieve it because we will not forget it.
4. All just power of government comes from the people. We are not one nation under God. We are one nation under the people. Then the people, as individuals, choose how they will relate to God or Goddess, if at all. We, the People, established the Constitution of the United States. The government does not give rights to the people. We give rights to the government.
5. When the government goes beyond our boundaries, it is the right and the duty of the people to bring the government back under control, even if they have to replace it.
There are the fundamental principles of Americanism. They belong to all humanity. Let us all work, peacefully when we can, to bring all the governments of the world under these principles. Let us use political systems, when it is possible, and other means, when it is necessary, to make this dream a reality. Let us all pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honors to make it happen as quickly and orderly as we can before the world completes it's current rush into another Dark Age of ethnic warfare.

When filterall is enabled and some autolinking filter (glossary, activity name) is also active, big display problems occur (see screenshot attached): HTML code displays in the window, tabs are broken, bad links are shown in breadcrumb, etc.
Gliffy Diagrams

- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Links Hierarchy
Here is the screenshot showing how it displays with filterall disabled.
Any progress on this?
This is very very annoying on multilingual sites
Nick C can you look into this? I wonder if it's related to the changes from a couple weeks ago.
Actually, sorry, the problem is actually just the filters that insert links. We need to skip them.
We can do this by:
1) Defining a temporary global like $CFG->formatstring like this in format_string()
if (!empty($CFG->filterall)){ $CFG->formatstring = true; // new $string = filter_text($string, $courseid); unset($CFG->formatstring); // new }
2) Adding this to the beginning of all the filters which create links:
global $CFG;
if (!empty($CFG->formatstring))
Ping me if there's any questions!
It might be IMHO better to add new function filter_string() and new function into filters xx_filter_string() because some filters are not appropriate for strings (such as hotlinking).
I am not sure if any tags should be allowed in formatted strings by default, maybe changing the default from "$striplinks = false" to "$stripanytags = true" (the new formslib strips all tags except multilang).
Correct me if I'm wrong:
I looked in the filter/ directory for filters that need this edit (made sense to me), and found only one that output straight links: filter/emailprotect/filter.php
So I'm probably missing something. Also I have no idea how to reproduce this error. Could someone please outline the steps needed?
Thinking about it, a whitelist is a good idea. I don't think we need new functions for all the filters though.
So how about if format_string doesn't call filter_text, but instead calls a new filter_string() as Petr suggested.
This function, however, just calls certain known filters on a whitelist. I'll check this in now, see code shortly ...
Nicolas M, can you please test this out and make sure it's better on your site?
Martin, there is some progress, but not everything is OK (see screenshot).
Uhm... too late I saw this,
isn't the $striplinks parameter in format_string() enough to prevent link broken and to return "pure" strings? It has been used in the activity menu and other places since ages....
I'm reopening this because, although working, there are some important thoughts we have been discussing on Skype. Let's summarise them:
0) Latest change of the format_string() function seems to be slightly incorrect: Caching is broken & filter functions are called twice.
All this ignited one long discussion in chat about how things were going to be handled in 1.8 and finally we agreed that this could be a clear path to follow:
1) For activity names, is order to allow pre-existing ones to display html tags, global switch controls is we allow tags or no. We use complete format_string() to display them in course page.
2) For course/site titles we only allow <span> and process by format_string() function.
3) All we (developers/testers) create a course named #@#@#.... to detect where format_string is missing. format_string() will strip it so it'll be easy to detect where we are missing the format_string() function.
4/ rewrite format_string() to strip all tags by default. It's supposed that only non-html text is going to be processed by it.
5/ format_string() apply only SAFE filters. Those safe filters will be defined inside each filter by checking results of one "xxxx_filter_string()" (true/false) function (instead of the current $CFG->stringfilters new global. Only enabled filters being safe will be processed by format_string.
This should be decided ASAP. Should help to clarify things definitively.
Correction! In 1) above it should say We use complete format_text() to display them in course page. !
Some replies:
> Latest change of the format_string() function seems to be slightly incorrect: Caching is broken & filter functions are called twice.
Ah, whoops, that is a simple mistake ... I had modified Nick's modification without noticing that he had duplicated the call to filter_text!
Now fixed in CVS.
I'll go through and add $striplinks to more of the format_string calls too, to fix Nicolas M's remaining problem.
> 1) For activity names, is order to allow pre-existing ones to display html tags, global switch controls is we allow tags or no. We use complete format_text() to display them in course page.
OK, perhaps this can just override $striplinks == false in format_string ... $CFG->forcestriplinksinstrings
I don't really understand some of the other things though ... we need to keep tags because of multilang. And the site admin right now has complete control over what filters get applied to strings (by setting $CFG->stringfilters) ... I thought later we could add this to same GUI that defines $CFG->textfilters. If this CFG is not defined, then ONLY multilang gets applied by default, and even that ONLY if multilang was enabled for filters in general.
Actually, thinking about it, just changing the default for $striplinks in format_string from false to true should have the desired effect ...
Nicolas, can you try your test site now on latest 1.8?

Self-Propelled: Yes
Mower Weight with Battery: 90 pounds
Battery Weight: 29 pounds
Estimated Mowing Area: 4500–9900 square feet
Likes: The test's most feature-stocked mower has dial-adjusted speed control, push-button height adjustment, an easy-to-clean all-plastic deck, and no crossbar blocking access to the grass bag.
Disikes: The fold-down handle needs a more substantial lock mechanism and the battery is designed to be carried with two hands only, which is a pain when you're trying to open, say, a basement door.

Battery Weight: 33 pounds
Estimated Mowing Area: 10,300–14,800 square feet
Likes: In terms of cut area, the easy-rolling Homelite came closer to gas engine mower performance than any other product. It just cuts and cuts, and when it can't cut anymore, a well-positioned battery charge light on the upper handle tells you. We also liked its 9 1/2-inch rear wheels, its single-lever deck height adjustment, and a battery that's easy to put in and take out.
Disikes: The handle, axles, and deck lift are all substantial, but the deck is thin gauge steel with a poorly done weld at the rear baffle, making it appear to be the weak link on an otherwise fine mower.

Pou-tokomanawa [ancestor figure] [Ancestral image house support (poutokomanawa).] 1820-1842 Place made: Rongowhakaata iwi, Manutuke, North Island, New Zealand Polynesia
Materials & Technique: sculptures, figurines, wood (totara pine - Podocarpus totara), natural pigments wood, natural pigments
Originally much taller, this housepost now has only the dynamic figurative element from its base. These figures were intended to impress visitors and radiate the prestige of the community. The post would have supported the ridge beam of an exquisitely carved meeting house (whare whakairo). Symbolically, the house represents a primal ancestor, with the poutokomanawa figure holding up its metaphorical backbone. The head is carved in exceptional scale to the body, reflecting the Polynesian belief in the head as the centre of personal power and the spiritual force, known as mana. The body demonstrates a mastery of figurative sculpture with a strongly arched back and flowing arms, atop powerful legs.
The figure has boldly incised surface design to the shoulders and buttocks, representing tattoo patterns (moko). The realistic face is a form of portraiture, as the tattoo patterns indicate an unnamed warrior chief whose hair is tightly bound in a topknot. Raharuhi Rukupo was a celebrated tohunga whakairo carver-priest of the period and leader of the Gisborne or Turanga school of carving. He was also an accomplished warrior in his youth and in later years was involved in the land wars of 1845–72.

From: Ron Radford (ed), Collection highlights: National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, 2008
The presence of this figure is undeniable. With eyes open he appears to watch people around him with a calm, priestly stillness. His face is almost perfect, for his moko (face tattoo) is incised clearly and finely over most of his features, and his lips are tattooed.
His face is naturalistic and carved in a very different style to his body. The finely chiselled moko is that of a specific person, most likely an ancestor. Part of the moko on the figure's right cheek has been deliberately left unfinished. Blade marks are visible on the back of his remaining ear, and these have been softened by rubbing, probably the result of people caressing the figure over a number of years. His mouth has been carved with such sensitivity that the figure appears about to speak—truly the work of an exceptional carver.
This figure has been attributed to the nineteenth-century master sculptor Raharuhi Rukupo, who worked in the Manutuke district about 10 kilometres south-west of Turanga. The carving style is from the region around Turanga (today Gisborne), and the Ngāti Kaipoho people were the most noted carvers in that region from the early to mid-nineteenth century.
Originally this figure supported a house post that once rose from the back of his head. He would have stood in the centre of a whare nui (meeting house), which symbolised a significant ancestor of the people who owned the house.

Treviso comfortably saw off the challenge of the Dragons in a 32-13 win in their PRO12 clash at the Stadio di Monigo on Saturday.
Treviso comfortably saw off the challenge of the Dragons in a 32-13 bonus point win in their PRO12 clash at the Stadio di Monigo on Saturday.
Young full-back Tom Prydie did his best to keep the visitors in the game and scored all of their points, including two early penalties, but the home side scored the opening try of the match after ten minutes and they didn't look back.
Italian international scrum-half Edoardo Gori's smart early try was followed by a score from the imposing figure of Tongan-born Japanese centre Christian Loamanu midway through the first half.
A yellow card for winger Will Harries late on in the opening period made things even more difficult for the Newport outfit and the Italians took full advantage with a try from Luke McLean right on the stroke of half-time to make it 20-6.
Fly-half Alberto di Bernardo was having a mixed day with the boot, having kicked a penalty but just one out of three conversions in the first half, but his form from the tee was rendered completely irrelevant in the opening few minutes of the second half.
No sooner had the two sets of players re-emerged onto the pitch than Loamanu had made another great break and touched down to complete his brace and seal the bonus point for the hosts.
Prydie did cross ten minutes later to give the Welshmen some hope but that was soon extinguished on the hour mark as Harries was sent off after receiving his second yellow card of the afternoon.
Treviso probably should have scored more in the final quarter but they had to settle for just one more try from replacement Tobias Botes to wrap up a comfortable victory and complete a trio of home wins against Welsh regions so far this season.
The scorers:
For Treviso:
Tries: Loamanu 2, Gori, McLean, Botes

For Dragons:

Chatroom Feature for Drupal 6.x built with Node.js and Backbone.js
Recently, for fun and learning, I built a group chatroom feature for Drupal 6.x. I've been learning and using Node.js and Backbone.js the past few months and building a chatroom seemed like a great project to stretch my skills.
I've recently pronounced it "finished" and the code is available on Github. There are a few obscure bugs left but by and large, it's plenty stable for those wanting a chatroom on Drupal 6.x.

Three of south metro Denver's most innovative entrepreneurs and business leaders were honored at the 28th annual Small Business Leadership Awards ceremony, hosted by the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce.
More than 300 local business and civic leaders gathered at The Comedy Works in Greenwood Village at congratulate this year's award recipients: Footers Catering, Abby Senior Care and Jeff Wasden, owner of PROformance Apparel.
Comedian and Animal Planet emergency veterinarian, Kevin Fitzgerald served as emcee for the snowy May 1 event.
According to Chamber President and CEO, John Brackney, the program, which recognizes excellence in business, innovation and leadership, attracted a record 125 nominations this year, across three categories, compared to 70 in 2012.
Nominees were evaluated on achievements to include leadership and management ability, innovation, financial performance, prospects for sustained business, and community involvement.
"Small business is alive and well here in the South Metro area," said Marcia McGilley, executive director of the chamber's Small Business Development Center.
Small Business of the Year
Footers Catering was honored as the chamber's 2013 Small Business of the Year, an award that goes to companies in business for five years or more and with five to 250 employees. The company is located in Denver, at 4190 Garfield St.
Owned and operated by Anthony and April Lombatos since 2010, Footers Catering distinguishes itself with onsite field kitchens to allow staff to prepare food at the event, ensuring a restaurant quality experience. A newly designed 13,000-square-foot space helps them execute the catering for weddings, corporate and other large social events. Each year Footers caters 600 events, feeding more than 56,000 guests annually.
Emerging Business of the Year
The chamber selected Abby Senior Care, Inc as its emerging business winner, an award given to companies with five or more employees and in business one to four years. Located in Englewood, Abby Senior Care, Inc. is an encore business venture started in 2008 by Bobbie Mecalo and David Hoppe and provides non-medical home care services to seniors, those recovering from surgery, and people with chronic illness. Options include hourly care and 24-hour live-in assistance that allows seniors to "age in place" on their own terms.
"This really got started from our experiences with family members who are very dear, said Hoppe, who has faced the challenges of dementia in his own family. "I just want to thank everyone for this award."
Abby Senior Care is located at 6 Inverness Court East in Englewood. They have a staff of approximately 70 people.
Brian Vogt Community Leader of the Year
Jeff Wasden joined six others who have received the Brian Vogt Community Leader of the Year Award. Named for the 6-foot-6 former Chamber president, gubernatorial cabinet member, and current CEO of the Denver Botanic Gardens, whose enthusiasm for small business remains a chamber staple today.
Wasden's nomination package describes him as a diverse leader, making change at every level: as a volunteer, a board member, and an influencer of public policy.
He is an active board member and community volunteer. He is a co-owner of PROformance Apparel, 6905 S. Broadway in Littleton. PROformance Apparel provides apparel and uniforms for schools, government and private business.
Those eligible for the award include owners or employees of a business, as well as nonprofit and government agencies.
Those honored with the Brian Vogt Award are selected on leadership abilities, extraordinary contributions to the chamber and the south metro community at large.
