Climate Change
In 2014, years of Earthjustice litigation alongside partner groups paid off, securing a landmark Supreme Court ruling that upholds the EPA's authority to limit carbon pollution.
If the causes of warming global temperatures are not addressed, we will render the planet unlivable. Already, great shifts are occurring. Polar ice is melting at alarming rates. Superstorms like Hurricane Sandy are bearing down with greater regularity. Droughts and wildfires are intensifying and the oceans are acidifying as they soak up excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
- SECURING NATIONAL AND GLOBAL RULES TO CUT CARBON through work in the courts, Congress and via international negotiations to secure real, enforceable cuts in climate pollution.
- CREATING PATHWAYS FOR CLEAN POWER through litigation that challenges reliance on fossil fuels, which imperil our climate and pollute our air and water, and opens the door to clean, renewable sources of power.
- REDUCING BLACK CARBON—one of the best things we can do right now to slow warming and protect ecosystems.
- BUILDING RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGE by taking a proactive approach to promote ecologically rich, resilient refuges that can sustain healthy fish and wildlife populations on land and at sea.
In 2013, Earthjustice and a coalition of allies reached a landmark settlement with American Electric Power, one of the dirtiest coal-powered utilities in the nation, under which three coal-fired power plants will retire by 2015. Collectively, a total of 2,011 megawatts of coal-fired power will retire as part of the settlement, removing roughly 12 million tons of climate-disrupting carbon pollution and more than 83,000 tons of sulfur dioxide pollution that the three coal-fired power plants spew into the air each year. This victory is just one of many driven by strict regulations put in place by Earthjustice litigation, which are driving plant retirements around the country.
The utility also agreed to replace a portion of the power with investments in wind and solar technology. The decision is another chink in coal's armor, underscoring that the dominance of the nation's number one source of carbon pollution is coming to an end.
"Climate-related disasters are now impacting every region of the country. Last year's drought spurred increases in food prices and cleaning up after natural disasters is already costing Americans billions of dollars. We simply can't afford not to address this problem." – Trip Van Noppen, Earthjustice President
The Easiest Way to Slow Climate Change
Soot (also known as black carbon) is the second-leading cause of climate change after CO2. Because it only stays in the atmosphere for days or weeks, reducing black carbon may be the fastest way to slow global warming. We already have the technology to avoid producing black carbon—it's just a matter of using it.

Here is a recipe for a beef marinade in which a Beef Blade London Broil was marinated. Note the addition of Kiwi puree used for its tenderizing characteristics. After grilling I cut some thin slices, threaded them on skewers and grilled them. Browning the remaining meat, finishing it off in the oven, and slicing it created a beautiful dish especially served with an Oriental cabbage salad.
- Beef Blade London Broil - 1 2 lb.
- soy sauce - 1/3 cup
- orange juice - 1/3 cup
- honey - 3 tablespoons
- pureed kiwifruit (about 1/2 kiwifruit) - 2 tablespoons
- sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
- grated ginger - 2 teaspoons
- large cloves garlic - 3 , minced
Add the soy sauce, orange juice, honey, kiwifruit, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and scallions to a Ziploc bag. Seal the bag and mix until all the ingredients are combined. Add the beef to the bag and marinate for at least one day.
Grill the beef over medium high heat approximately 10 minutes per side. If the fire is too hot, the beef will burn because of the sugars in the marinade. If you don't have a grill you can also do this in a broiler or a hot cast iron skillet with some oil.

In an environment where consumers are becoming more health conscious and baby boomers are battling the aging process, functional foods—foods that are fortified with nutritional or disease-preventing supplements—are invigorating the food industry.1 With estimated yearly sales of $20 billion to $30 billion and projected annual growth rates of up to 20 percent, the fortified foods market could offer investors potentially high returns.
Fortified foods were initially introduced in the 1940s by public health officials to tackle mass health concerns. However, as preventative healthcare became more mainstream, control of the fortified food industry moved to the private sector. Cholesterol-lowering margarine, probiotic yogurts, and energy-boosting beverages are all examples of functional foods currently on grocery store shelves. Soft drinks and dairy products dominate the market, accounting for 60 percent of functional foods.
Consumers are increasingly savvy about the link between food and good health, a change that the food market is trying to capitalize on. In fact, functional food market participants have been drawn to the industry by the potential to charge premium prices to consumers. However, manufacturers have had to be mindful of the higher research and development investment, the ingredient costs, and the specialized technology associated with the fortifying of foods. Those manufacturers are also being careful to select food-function combinations that would be relatively intuitive to the consumer—such as the popularity of functional yogurt, a food that has long been known to have healthy properties.
With such high demand and high returns, investors are looking at opportunities—for example, new segments and new niches— throughout the functional food supply chain, but investors in the functional foods market should be aware of potential risks. Barriers to the market include consumer skepticism and large multinational food manufacturers that can often control significant portions of the market.
Despite those barriers—as well as concerns that the sector is merely a fad—the market continues to grow rapidly. Interested investors could consider acquisitions, joint ventures, or partnerships that focus on the development of technologies to advance food-function combinations or that grow new or underpenetrated health or food categories.

Some would say that Steve Weil, third-generation owner of Rockmount Ranch Wear in LoDo, is one smart cookie when it comes to the Western wear biz.
But his business brainiac status was put to the test June 26 when Mensa, the international high IQ society, ordered dozens of hats for its July convention in Fort Worth, Texas.
This is not the first time they ordered Rockmount hats, according to Weil, president and grandson of Papa Jack (who was definitely a brainiac but used the term "egghead" liberally).
Visit Denver spokesmodel Rich Grant also picked up one of the simple straw chapeaus on Wednesday.
"I can't swear that it's made me smarter, but it's the smartest looking hat I've ever owned," Grant said. "I wore it while giving a three-mile walking tour to the visiting Japanese travel writers, and was met everywhere downtown with smiles, and compliments on what a `smart' looking hat it was. I won't leave home without it!"
Decker, James tie knot
Hunka-hunka Broncos wide receiver Eric Decker and his equally stunning fiancee and country pop singer Jessie James tied the proverbial knot June 22 in Castle Rock.
The bride posted a handful of photos from the celebration on her Instagram account thejessiejames. The ceremony took place at St. Francis of Assisi in Castle Rock followed by the reception at the impressive Castle Cliff Estates, according to Internet reports.
The cute couple (I've met them and they are cover girl and guy gorgeous) met through a mutual friend and struck up a phone relationship.
The newlyweds have jumped on the reality show bandwagon by letting the E! cameras roll to capture their lives and loves on the new show "Love and Other Contact Sports" debuting on E! late summer.
The series will "chronicle the sexy young couple's road to the altar as they juggle careers, relationships, family and more," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Decker reportedly received permission from Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway before selling his soul to basic cable.
"He came in and talked to me about it," Elway told reporters via www.MaxDenver.com. "I gave it my blessing."
Photographic memories
Local award-winning photographers Jody and Zach Zorn at Zorn Photography (the folks who just shot James and Decker's wedding), are launching a donation program to help those affected by the Colorado wildfires rebuild their pictorial histories.
Twenty families will be selected at random after submitting an application — including name, email address, phone number, former address in fire region, number of immediate family members and number of pets — and sending it to email@example.com.
Applications will be accepted through Aug. 1 with winners notified by Aug. 15. Photo shoots will be scheduled for two dates in late August or early September.
Zorn Photography is seeking gift card donations from beauty, apparel (adults and children), home goods and grocery retailers to present to the families on photo-shoot day. Interested business should email email@example.com.
Sweet soiree
Enstrom Candies (really, is there anything better than the World Famous Almond Toffee?) celebrated the grand opening of the new Arvada location, 6770 W. 52nd Ave., Suite C (just north of Interstate 70 and east of Wadsworth Boulevard) on June 29.
The party included free samples of Enstrom World Famous Almond Toffee, Enstrom Premium Ice Cream, Seattle Roasted Gourmet Coffees, Wi-Fi and indoor and outdoor seating.
"We are very excited about the new store," said Linda Enstrom, Denver area manager. "We can now offer our customers a pleasant environment that is convenient for those quick morning meetings or the quiet pick-me-up coffee break."
The new store is situated just a few doors down from the previous space. For more information, visit www.enstrom.com.
Alamo Drafthouse appeals to all

Restaurant RIP
When former Rocky Mountain News and Nation's Restaurant News reporter Dina Berta walked away from her career covering the restaurant industry, she jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.
After a 17-year journalism career, Dina opted to join her husband, Frank, in a new culinary venture — Frank's Kitchen — at 2600 High St. in Denver's Whittier neighborhood. Doors opened on May 2011, and closed on June 24.
This is what the couple posted on Frank's Kitchen Diary:
Goodbye and thank you.
The end happened as quickly as the beginning. Just three years ago Frank was sliding a check across a table to our future landlords and we were in the restaurant business.
On Sunday, sitting on the patio of Frank's Kitchen, the buyer's accountant was sliding a check over to Frank. It was a down payment to our asking price. And just like that, we closed our restaurant.
For all our stunned customers, friends and supporters let me tell you how we got here. I was not lying when you came in and asked how is the business and I said doing well. After about a year and half it was paying for itself. It probably would have turned the corner in the third year, especially if we obtained a liquor license.
It was in the pursuit of a beer and wine license that we came to a realization about who we are and the kind of life we wanted to live.
The alcohol licensing was going to take six months. We probably weren't going to be able to serve beer and wine until November. Our lease is up in December. We needed the warm spring and summer months to recoup the investment in the license and product. That meant we would have to sign a new lease, most likely for five years.
The thought of another long-term lease made us both sigh, heavily. A little too heavily. That's when we knew. We have worked extremely hard and for long hours day in and day out since we opened. Frankly, we're tired and did not want to keep going. Some people have the restaurant business in their blood. We had to admit we did not. This was no longer what we wanted to do with our lives.
We listed the restaurant for sale on Craigslist.com.
Joe Van Dyke, aka "Jammin' Joe," a blues guitarist and restaurateur from Virginia was our first serious response to the ad. Jammin' Joe has owned and or operated several restaurants in his life. He carved out a pretty good reputation for barbecue back east and wants to do the same in Denver. He liked our restaurant and accepted our price. He plans to open in early July.
Thank you everyone who supported us in our endeavor. We appreciated it more than you know. And thanks to our awesome employees. A few are staying on with Joe. May God bless all of you.
Shalom, Dina (and Frank)

Sherrington: Why Rangers' 'best-case scenario' includes trading Ian Kinsler
SportsDay columnist Kevin Sherrington answered reader questions during a live chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights:
It's still early. But do you think someone blows the Rangers away with an offer for one of their shortstops? And if so, who might be in that offer and which shortstop is more likely to go?
Kevin Sherrington: I don't know how many clubs try to blow you away for a shortstop. Aces, yes. Power hitters, yes. But not necessarily shortstops, even as good as Elvis and Profar are. My best-case scenario would have the Rangers trading Kinsler. Moving him to the OF doesn't seem all that appealing to me. His numbers last year would not have been good for an OF. Anyway, play Profar at second for a year, make sure you think he's everything you think he is, then make the decision on whether you trade Elvis before his contract is up and you have to deal with Boras, or decide you'd like to make those two guys your combination at second for the next 10 years.
Do you think Profar will end up playing 2B and Kinsler to the OF, or will Kinsler be traded for pitching?
Kevin Sherrington: I'd go for the pitching, but I don't know who's going to take that contract off your hands. With Michael Young's expiring after next season, Kinsler's officially becomes the worst on the payroll. He's got plenty of time to correct the situation, but now he stands as a roadblock to Profar, unless they move Kinsler to the OF. As I wrote earlier, I don't see that as a good alternative. His numbers last year wouldn't be better than Cruz's or Murphy's. What, exactly, are you solving? Now if he returns to previous form under a new hitting coach, maybe that's a different story.
You've harped on Rangers shoring up their bench this off season. Any names we should look for?
Kevin Sherrington: I'm already on record as thinking they should check out Lance Berkman or Kevin Youkilis on short-term deals. Great for the clubhouse, power off the bench. The Rangers need to reduce the load on their regulars during the regular season, and they need to understand why the NL model is working so well in the post-season. It's not just great pitching. Those clubs are getting a lot of production from bench players, who are used to playing during the regular season and ready to go in the postseason.
If Rangers dont get a #1 like Greinke, do they have enough starting pitching to win the West again next year?
Kevin Sherrington: They do if everyone stays healthy and reaches their potential. But how often does that happen? You have to plan for a worst-case scenario, which is why the Rangers are pursuing a top-end starter to pair up with Darvish, Harrison, Holland and Ogando, with Perez pushing in the spring. The Rangers were very fortunate in their first two World Series runs. The rotation stayed healthy. It wasn't last season, which is one of the reasons they ended up where they did.

Anaheim's stunning third line production, Kadri gets his chance, Turris takes a step forward and more.
DUCK TALES Perhaps the most surprising line, in terms of production, this early in the season is Anaheim's third line, comprised of Saku Koivu, Daniel Winnik and Andrew Cogliano. The trio has combined for 14 points in two games, but there's no reason to expect this prolific pace to continue.
Koivu is the most accomplished of the bunch, scoring 781 points in 1014 career games, but last season's 38 points in 74 games represented the lowest points-per-game output (0.51) of his career which, incidentally, is entirely reasonable for the now 38-year-old. If Koivu can provide complementary offence from the third line, that allows a young player -- currently Nick Bonino -- to take a shot at centering Bobby Ryan and Teemu Selanne on line No. 2.
Anaheim is Winnik's fourth team in the last four seasons (previous stops in Phoenix, Colorado and San Jose) and while he may not have great name recognition, he has been earning significant ice time, more than 16 minutes per game over the previous two seasons, because he's a sound two-way player who can play tough defensive minutes. He's also never scored more than 11 goals or 26 points in a season, so his current outburst (four goals, one assist in two games) is an aberration for a player that is among the lowest-percentage shooters in the league.
From 2008-2009 through 2011-2012, Winnik scored 26 goals on 500 shots (5.2%), the 11th lowest among all forwards to play at least 100 games and record at least 200 shots in that time.
Cogliano hasn't been able to live up to the promise created by his 45-point rookie season in 2007-2008, and that remains his career high. Last season, his first in Anaheim, Cogliano scored a career-low 26 points, so it's not as though he entered this season with expectations, but he has the speed to be an effective complementary player. It's just not easy to forecast a sudden offensive surge for a 25-year-old that has steadily regressed in that aspect of the game, even if he does have four points in two games.
GETTING HIS CHANCE It has taken a while for the seventh overall pick in the 2009 draft to get a serious shot at the Maple Leafs lineup as he's been forced to watch several players taken after him play multiple full seasons in the league already.
Nevertheless, when Toronto traded Matthew Lombardi and waived Tim Connolly in training camp, it signified a bona fide chance for Kadri and he's scored goals in each of the first two games this season, both on the power play. Possibly more encouraging for Kadri is that he played more than 15 minutes in Game Two after just 9:53 in Toronto's opening night win at Montreal.
YOUNG SENS Kyle Turris found new life in Ottawa last season, getting more ice time and playing an increased offensive role. Through the first couple games this season, he has scored three goals, played a minute less per game than last season, but has also notched eight shots on goal and while he surely won't score on three of every eight shots he takes, if Turris could generate more than three shots per game, that would represent a notable improvement and likely lead to increased scoring totals.
A second-round pick in 2008, D Patrick Wiercioch had been underwhelming in his first couple pro seasons, scoring 38 points with a minus-28 rating in 124 games with Binghamton of the AHL, but the 22-year-old took a major step forward during the lockout, putting him in position to win a job on a Senators blueline that opened up due to Jared Cowen's hip surgery.
In 32 AHL games this season, Wiercioch scored 10 goals and 19 points and was plus-10, a marked improvement over his first two pro seasons, and he's put up a couple of assists in the first two NHL games this season. He doesn't play a lot (12:28 per game), but 6-foot-4 Wiercioch has size and skill to eventually move into a more significant role for the Senators.
HAMMER TIME With veteran Dennis Seideberg injured for Monday's game against Winnipeg, Bruins rookie D Dougie Hamilton stpped in and played a big role (23:27 TOI vs. WPG). Hamilton only played 13:40 in the season opener, so the increase in ice time was dramatic, but the fact that Hamilton handled the heavier workload should help him see more action as the season progresses, even if Seidenberg returns for Boston's next game.
HIT PARADE After registering 10 hits against Winnipeg, Bruins LW Milan Lucic is the early league leader with 14 hits, two ahead of Buffalo C/RW Steve Ott and four ahead of Bruins D Zdeno Chara. Lucic led the Bruins, and ranked 26th in the league last year, with 201 hits in 81 games.
GRAB BAG Speedy RW Michael Grabner was a great waiver wire find for the New York Islanders in 2010, scoring 34 goals and 52 points, with a plus-13 rating in 76 games, but then Grabner's performance tailed off last season (20 G, 32 PTS, -18, 78 GP).
Early indications are more positive this year, as Grabner has a goal and an assist in the first two games, but has registered eight shots on goal and averaged 19:40 of ice time per game (he played 15:33 per game last season).
More ice and more shots on goal definitely increase the odds of Grabner returning to his 30-goal form, the kind of complementary offence that the Islanders sorely need behind the No. 1 line.
SINGING THE BLUES After an easy 14-save shutout in the season opener, Blues G Jaroslav Halak was pulled after allowing three goals on 11 shots against Nashville Monday. Halak is in a battle for playing time with Brian Elliott -- who didn't allow any goals in relief -- so anything that gives one of them the edge is a development that can affect fantasy owners.
HORNING IN Following back-to-back seasons with declining point totals, Predators RW Patric Hornqvist is off to a promising start this season, putting up a goal and four points in the first two games. Hornqvist also has six shots on goal, which is pretty standard.
Over the last three seasons, he has 3.28 shots on goal per game, which ranks 20th in the league in that span, but only three of those ranked higher have played fewer minutes than Hornqvist, who has yet to play 16 minutes per game for a full season with the Predators.
QUICK ON THE DRAW Maple Leafs C Tyler Bozak was dominant in the faceoff circle against Buffalo Monday night, winning 22-of-26 (84.6%) draws, as Tyler Ennis (2-of-14) and Cody Hodgson (5-of-22) were lost at the dot.

Samantha Barker was urged by her dad and Highlands Ranch golf coach, James, to give a new putter a try during a recent practice session at Family Sports Center in Centennial.
She stroked a few putts with the new putter, but quickly retrieved her old one and went back to work refining her proficiency on the greens.
Barker, a Highlands Ranch senior, is one of the state's leading Class 5A female golfers who competed May 7 in the Class 5A Northern Regionals in Broomfield and hopes to be a contender in the state tournament that will be held May 20-21 in Grand Junction.
Hitting a golf ball a long way, straight down the fairway, hasn't been much of a problem for Barker. Putting, however, has at times been inconsistent.
"Sam is a great ball striker and great driver of the golf ball," James Barker said. "She'll hit nine out of 10 fairways and she can hit it 250-260 yards. And she'll hit it within 10 feet with her irons probably 10 times a round, but then her putting ...
"Her putting has gotten better. For a few years it was eight to 10 three-putts a round. Now it's not as many three-putts but she's not at the point where she swishes a good percentage of those 10-footers for birdies. When she learns to do that, look out."
Samantha admits she ignored putting until she realized that to flirt with par or sub-par rounds a golfer needs to be a decent putter.
"I definitely practiced more hitting," Samantha said. "When I was little I would just hit the ball, pick it up and throw it in the hole. Putting wasn't my thing. I just worked a whole lot more on hitting the ball.
"I'm definitely going to have to practice on the short game and putting. That's where you score."
Samantha, who is hoping to land a golf scholarship with her play this spring, changed her swing over the winter. She hit 100 to 200 balls a day to prepare for the spring season and she has been posting consistent scores in the mid-70s.
"This season has gone well," Samantha said. "It's hard to go from an 80s player, shaving a few shots, to a 70s player, even though it's only a few shots. It takes a lot more work than you think. Now it's just getting as low as possible.
"One of the hardest things for me is I want to see how hard I can hit it, how far I can hit it. Most of the time when I'm playing I try to keep it simple. One practice swing and hit it."
James Barker has watched his daughter's game get better and better.
"Sam has progressed nicely over the years," he said. "She was shooting in the 100s two years ago. She has been pretty consistently in the 70s during the high school season. She has stretches in national events where she has been in the 70s. She has her battles in national events with tough courses, bad weather and real good competition and we don't always see the 70s, but she is getting there.
"We've just watched her scores go down and the consistency go up over the years. She's a good player, definitely in the top 10 in the state and maybe sneaking into the top five."

Established in 1965, HAWS assists over 6,000 animals and welcomes more than 31,000 human visitors annually. As an "open admissions" shelter we lead the community in animal welfare and assure sanctuary for all animals in need, regardless of age, health or temperament. HAWS is a non-profit, entirely donor-fund organization with an active humane education program, and both wildlife and companion animal rescue services for Waukesha County.
HAWS License #267280-DS
HAWS and Taco John's - a Tremendous Community Partnership!
As the beneficiary of an incredible community fundraising effort, for the third consecutive year, HAWS has received a generous donation from Taco John's of Waukesha!
Last week, representatives from the restaurant at 317 N. Grand Avenue, Waukesha, presented the shelter with a check for over $2,100.00, the result of their December "Nachos Navidad" promotion and through sales of Christmas ornaments hung at the Waukesha eatery.
"We really see a following during the holiday season when it comes to Nachos Navidad®," notes Dusty Stiefel, Taco John's Unit General Manager. "People really enjoy the holiday tradition and their generosity helped us raise a wonderful donation for HAWS. We thank our customers for their continued support of this partnership!"
Lynn Olenik, HAWS' Executive Director, adds: "HAWS is so privileged to work with Taco John's, and honored to be the very grateful recipient of this year's Nachos Navidad® and ornament sale proceeds. They are a wonderful community partner and we truly appreciate their generosity."
Pictured: Along with several HAWS' adoptable pets, receiving the check at the shelter are HAWS staff members Ben Posanski and Jessica Pinkos. Check presenters from Taco John's are Dusty Stiefel, Unit GM (standing) and Cheri Topping, Assistant Manager and top ornament seller.
By the way - this weekend the Friends of HAWS present 2 great events to benefit the paws at HAWS! On Saturday Polka your tail off at Oom-Pa Paws at Saxe's in Genesee. Then on Sunday join in the annual HAWS for Paws Bowling party at Fracaro's Lanes in Waukesha. See you there!

pretty sure this is because the params passed aren't encoded correctly - most browsers don't care, but it seems IE does!
updated code - using full player.php page to load popup instead which appears to fix issue.
Linking to display issues that need to be fixed before we can push this into core.
I wonder if we should check if SCORM TOC is disabled and if so - don't use the full player but use a standard object/frame include.
Note: I'm only pushing in a fix for 2.X branches at this stage - If someone else wants to take my patch and develop a 1.9 version I'd be happy to review it for inclusion but I have no plans to do it myself (unless someone pays me for the time to do it!)
This patch also disables the TOC and navbar for existing SCORMs that open in a new window as if these appeared for existing scorms in a new window it would probably cause great confusion!
note to integrator - I've just updated those branches with a savepoint function typo fix like the attached bug - whoops!
Ops, failing integration of this because:
1) Critical: I get some obvious duplicate code, for example @ mod/scorm/player.php - all the optional_param() seem duplicate. Haven't verified the rest.
2) Not critical: Upgrade script, perhaps better if limiting the fields retrieved from DB to the used ones and/or use recordset? Imagine site with 20.000 scorms in popups and big summaries or so. I know it's an extreme situation, but...
3) Trivial: Not knowing much about CSS... it surprised me the use of "font-size: medium", I thought we were using always em or friends.
4) Question: 20_STABLE and 21_STABLE have the same version? Does that mean that are interchangeable? In other words... does the 21_STABLE version work if installed into 20_STABLE site?
5) Side comment: While reviewing the code, it seems that the master version is 99% about to fix the popup thingy. Seems 100% unrelated with the title of the issue and that annoyed me a bit.
6) Testing instructions of some type would be great if possible (I know, some things are hardly testable... but the popup thing in code seems to be).
Thanks and ciao
1 - not sure what duplicate you mean here eloy the optional_params in player.php are all for different things.
2 - Update script - sure, will tidy this up a bit.
3 - ok will update
4 - 20_stable and 21_stable branches are both very close so the patch should be interchangeable if you want - not sure why you're asking this.
5 - the popup thing has changed because of the IE 7 madness - we can't load the SCO in a new window and keep the api in the parent window as for some stupid reason IE 7 fails intermittently.
6 - fair enough - the IE 7 issue is a real pain to reproduce but the pop-ups can be tested... any chance of getting this fixed this week if I make the above changes today?
$mode == mode the SCORM should be loaded in - normal, review, browse etc. (as per SCORM Spec)
$newattempt == the user has selected to start a new attempt.
it shuold be obvious what the other optional_params are used for.
updated as requested and have re-submitted. (still not sure about your duplicate optional_param comment)
Take a look to: https://github.com/danmarsden/moodle/blob/f9ce4a21c06d50711c7ecf00568be76c4dc74259/mod/scorm/player.php
or I'm blind or I'm seeing a lot of optional/required_param() dupe lines there. Sure it's my eyes getting tired lol... so better I go to sleep some hours... see you tomorrow, and thanks!
And yes, I'll re-try this tomorrow...ciao
whoops! - I was only looking at the master branch just now - yeah that's a bad copy/paste... I'll check the full patches for 2.0Stable and 2.1Stable again! - sorry bout that!
pushed updated code for 2.0 and 2.1 stable branches - I've also removed a lot of the whitespace clean up stuff to hopefully make it easier to review! - sorry for pushing such a messy commit!
Thanks Dan, re-looking to this now.
About 4) in my original list... what I was asking is that, as far as 20_STABLE, 21_STABLE and master branches, all them have "$module->requires = 2010080300;" then, potentially, it's possible to run the 21_STABLE module into one 20_STABLE site (and also one master module into one 20 or 21_STABLE site).
And I was thinking that perhaps, although improbable... that was not a good thing. Just that. As far as you keep 20_STABLE and 21_STABLE fully in sync, np here, but if they diverge, using some new stuff only present in 21_STABLE... you should update that "$module->requires" to point to newer release of Moodle.
Not critical at all, it just surprised me you were using the same version numbers in the 2 branches. Ciao
cool - thanks Eloy - 2.0 and 2.1 should be in sync - anything different will only be in master, anything pushed to 2.1stable will also go to 2.0stable... I figure anything that can't be pushed to 2.0stable shouldn't go to 2.1stable either so I'll probably keep them both in sync for a while.
the only stuff I've been pushing into stable branches for SCORM are bug fixes excluding any SCORM 2004 stuff which is only going in master.
thanks heaps!
Integrated, thanks!
Note for tester: Plz, test this under some STABLE branch.
Hi Dan,
Sorry for double-posting (here and in the forums) - I should rather have posted this only here, probably. I applied your patch to 2.0.4, and it seems to fix IE7 - awesome! However, the same popup still freezes in IE8. Do you have any insight? Maybe I applied the path wrongly...? Here's what I did:
1. Clone the git repo at git://github.com/danmarsden/moodle.git as a standalone set of files (not on top of my Moodle instance)
2. Checkout MOODLE_20_STABLE branch and use it to upgrade my Moodle instance, by replacing everything with the new set of files, then overlaying my custom auth and theme folders, and config.php
3. Checkout the m20_
MDL-28295 branch (your fix) to the standalone location, and copy the entire mod/scorm/ directory to my Moodle instance
This appears to have fixed the popup issue in IE7, but in IE8, the popup window still hangs at load time, crashing the browser.
Thanks for any insight you can provide!
Hi Gabe,
good to hear! - I haven't done any testing of IE 8 yet but we do have this:
try the fix posted in the forum and see if that resolves it for you? - if not we'll need lots of information on how to reproduce it - including SCORM object, IIS/Apache (what versions) php version, what php extensions are installed etc etc.
Hi Hamid,
not something I plan to do sorry - although you may not need it - have replied to you on your other post.

With the return of seven players from the football team, Monday's practice wasn't that much different than any other for head coach Randy Smithpeters.
Sure the longtime Harrisburg boys' basketball coach had — for the first time — a full squad to run the floor with and while most things were business as usual, the time lost for Smithpeters and the Bulldogs are like trying to stop the grain of sands falling through the hourglass.
Time is of the essence for Smithpeters as he is incorporating a brand new defense into the Bulldogs' repertoire as the team prepares for the season opener Monday against Gallatin County in the sixth annual Bulldog Invitational.
"It's nice to have everyone back and just like we knew it would be, a lot of people are rusty and they haven't been in the gym for a while," Smithpeters said. "Conditioning is a concern and a concern that we can't do much about with the time frame that we have to get ready for this first game."
Harrisburg was allowed its first practice on Nov. 5 and at the time, the football team was beginning a deep playoff run that lasted another two weeks, until Saturday's semifinal loss to Rochester.
Now with guys like Logan Hartley, Justin Younger, Daniel Lewis, Capel Henshaw, Ryne Roper, Gabe Oglesby and Dakota Upchurch joining those like Caleb Bartok, Tyler Smithpeters, Jarren Goldman, Bahari Amaya, Snjolfur Bjornsson, Eli Taborn-Scott, Jake Simerly and Carson Batts, Smithpeters is working hard to use time wisely and put the appropriate pieces into place.
"We're trying to throw everything in a bundle and go over a thousand things in four practices and come away the best we can.
"It's like I had imagined before: we're going to have to set our bench marks down the road, maybe looking at around Christmas where we truly understand a lot of the things that we are trying to do, before we fully get into the condition to play the way we want to play and to make the shots and do the things that we want to do with the basketball."
With the notion that basketball is a skilled sport and a lot of Harrisburg's players haven't been in the gym since June, Smithpeters is taking it upon himself to divide things into three main focuses.
"On the conditioning side, we're trying to incorporate that in our practice as far as going up and down. We don't have the time to spend to just condition. We're doing offensive/defensive things that take us up and down the floor, so we can combine those two things.
"We expect to spend 50 percent of our time on the defensive end. Also, an important note that I have in my practice schedule is just a lot of shooting. We do want to take the time to shoot, because again, half of our team hasn't been in the gym until Monday and actually some of them had some people banged up and Tuesday was the first day. We need to bring them along as quickly as possible."

Best Conditioner I've Ever UsedThis is the only hair conditioner I've ever gone out of my way to repurchase. I picked up a bottle of this quite randomly at a Marshall's a few months ago when I needed a new conditioner in a pinch, and I was immediately flabbergasted at how great it is! This is a thick, rich hair conditioner that almost feels like raw shea butter in your hands. It smells wonderful, moisturizes intensely, and leaves your hair feeling unbelievably soft and smooth. (The first time I dried my hair after using this, I couldn't stop touching my hair!) Overall, this is a wonderful conditioner, especially for the price; the bottle is quite big, and if you have short hair like me, you may not even have to use a full pump of product every time you use it.Feb 28, 2014Julia B. / BostonHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair

1st Use... So Far, So GoodThe reviews I read sounded really great and after seeing it in other stores for $49.99, the $12.99 price sounded like a steal.
I just got done using it and I can already tell it is different than any other shampoo, VERY different. It doesn't have that conventional gunky, silky feeling. Actually, it feels a little like it isn't foaming up at all, although you can feel that it is cleaning. Upon rinsing, I noticed that my hair felt a little dried. I used the conditioner and that took away any reservations I still held. This stuff feels great. It doesn't feel unnatural or over conditioned, but it does feel healthier than "normal" shampoo and conditioner.
I'll come back after a week and update...Jan 28, 2013Dawna / Charleston, SCHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

After shampooing and conditioning with this line and not brushing my hair all day, at the end of the day I was still tangle free and nowhere near forming dreadlocks. In fact, my hair was just as silky as right after I brushed it. I have extremely long hair past my middle back so this is an amazing accomplishment. So shiny, so smooth, so healthy looking. Thank you Cortex for putting out this line!Jan 18, 2013Shanna L. / United StatesHAIR TYPELight Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Soft Hair!When I first use this I notice right off the bat that it condition my hair. This shampoo with the conditioner had help my hair feel more alive. I notice the moisture is locked in to my hair which is one of the main reason why I bought this. One con I have about this though was that my pump wasn't working very well for the shampoo but the conditioner pump works just fine, so I'm thinking I had a sorry pump. Beside that, well worth the product. Since I wash my hair every other two to three days I felt like my damage hair that got all jacked up with ugly highlights then redye my entire head dark brown has finally felt more tame.Nov 26, 2012ReneHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Three Slips of Paper
RAY: This is from Norm Leyden from Franktown, Colorado. The date on it is 1974--I'm a little behind.
Three different numbers are chosen at random, and one is written on each of three slips of paper. The slips are then placed face down on the table. The objective is to choose the slip upon which is written the largest number.
Here are the rules: You can turn over any slip of paper and look at the amount written on it. If for any reason you think this is the largest, you're done; you keep it. Otherwise you discard it and turn over a second slip.
Again, if you think this is the one with the biggest number, you keep that one and the game is over. If you don't, you discard that one too.
TOM: And you're stuck with the third. I get it.
RAY: The chance of getting the highest number is one in three. Or is it? Is there a strategy by which you can improve the odds?
Think you know? Drop Ray a note!

Foot Patrols: Crime Analysis and Community Engagement to Further the Commitment to Community Policing
When community stakeholders discuss strategies for enhancing public safety through community policing, the subject of foot patrols inevitably arises. Sometimes deemed old fashioned by the rank and file, foot patrols may be effective not only as a means of curbing crime in neighborhoods, enhancing community partnerships, and keeping officers in touch with local activity, but also as a means for departments to lessen the impact of high fuel costs.
Historically, foot patrols are the oldest form of police patrol work. The use of foot patrols decreased substantially in the last century before reemerging as a community policing tool. The benefits, particularly in the form of community goodwill and improved relationships between the police and community, may help to explain the recent resurgence in this practice. Coupled with the high gas prices in 2008, foot patrols are once again being used as a community policing tool.
As with many policing strategies, departments adapt their approaches to community and departmental needs. Historically, foot patrols had a small effect on crime, but significant changes have been recorded with increased community stratification. Departments that take the positive elements of foot patrols and combine their efforts with data analysis that focuses on the time, location, and type of crime, may use the findings to develop strategies to decrease crime and enhance the quality of life in their communities.
Crime prevention and community satisfaction with police services, while linked to the number of officers on the streets, does not depend entirely on the visibility of patrol officers. Community engagement, targeted initiatives, strategic use of resources, and data-driven decision-making contribute to decreasing crime. Foot patrols should be perceived and promoted as an important component of the department's strategic operating plan.
The following are key initiatives that a department can use to pave the way for foot patrols to succeed:
- Determine the date, time, and location of service calls by type, and create representative maps to aid in efficient and effective deployment.
- Complement statistical analysis with a community survey to obtain the opinions of residents and business owners regarding priority issues.
- Invite the community to participate in planning sessions.
- Recruit a range of individuals (both officers and civilians) to use various models of patrol, demonstrating that both police and civilians can address public expectations through a variety of approaches such as volunteer efforts with neighborhood watch programs and crime-prevention programming.
Strategic Planning
Foot patrols should be developed as part of a proactive, integrated problem-solving strategy and not as a reactive response to an incident. The following are useful steps for developing and deploying successful foot patrols:
- Establish a structure for long-term implementation and evaluation. Plan, coordinate, and integrate program development, training, technology, and community outreach consistent with the objectives of the foot patrol and create evaluation criteria prior to implementation.
- Establish criteria for locating foot patrols in the community. Developing criteria such as identified community problems, unique needs, crime data, and special populations allows strategic deployment of resources in a proactive manner, rather than in response to incidents.
- Establish overarching program goals and objectives for implementing each foot patrol/beat location. Use foot patrols to improve community relations, suppress or prevent crime, or a combination of these objectives. Each objective is viable, yet requires a different approach and should be customized to the needs of the area.
- Establish baseline information on the foot patrol area to assist with developing strategies. An audit of the businesses, schools, social service agencies, parks, shopping areas, and other features in the specific foot patrol area allows the department to better understand areas that could benefit from the foot patrol and will assist with planning the community policing strategy.
- Establish focused areas for the implementation of foot patrols. Conduct a community survey to provide information on the community perceptions of safety needs that can be addressed through foot patrols. Most important, it allows community stakeholders to express ways through which they can support community and department priorities.
Once the overall strategy is developed, the department is in a position to shape the specific elements to be included in each foot patrol or beat.
A foot patrol strategy needs to consider assignment of foot patrol locations, available staffing, resources, size of the beats, selection of officers to beats, and safety of the officers. To be successful, it is important that the foot patrol strategy is deployed on a permanent basis; therefore, a department must plan carefully to ensure that resources are not over committed.
The size of the foot patrol area has a direct impact on the goals and objectives of the foot patrols within a beat location. The area has to be small enough to allow an officer to patrol it several times during a shift. Larger beats in less-congested areas are suited for a combination of foot, bicycle, "park and walk," or other personal transport systems to patrol the area effectively. Using a combination of patrol styles also allows an officer to cover more than one foot patrol location.
Successful foot patrols include more than just walking around. Specific planned programming and community engagement strategies must be incorporated into the process.
Community Engagement and Programming
Community stakeholders need to be active partners in the deployment of foot patrols. Training community members, businesses, and other stakeholders in crime prevention, environmental issues, neighborhood watch strategies, being effective witnesses, and problem solving will assist in reducing crime.
Stakeholders can contribute by taking action in the form of citizen patrols, graffiti eradication, youth programs, and trash removal. Other municipal agencies can assist with enforcing codes, developing youth programs, enhancing lighting, and removing visual barriers.
Officers assigned to foot patrols must have the training, resources, and support to develop and implement programs that address the specific needs of the beat area. Initiatives could include school presentations designed to curb underage drinking, physical security assessments to decrease the likelihood of crime, coordination of other departmental resources such as traffic or narcotics to address an identified problem, or supporting crime watch groups.
The significant obstacles to foot patrols have been the dwindling numbers of officers and an increase in the coverage area for which they are responsible. Foot patrols may be perceived by some departments as inefficient because vehicles cover more ground more quickly; however, the statement made to the community through a police presence on the street speaks of the investment being made in the safety of every resident. Business owners, patrons, and residents welcome an increased police presence in a community troubled by petty crime and vandalism.
The presence of foot patrols contributes to a feeling of safety. This is especially critical to areas undergoing revitalization and in areas with underserved populations. In addition to a safer community, foot patrols provide the officers with the best possible opportunity for understanding what goes on in the community. Technology has improved and officers are no longer tied to a patrol car for radio access. The flexibility afforded by this form of patrol should be a consideration for every department as it assesses its resources and develops strategies for providing a powerful and coordinated response to crime. Incorporating foot patrols as part of a department's overarching strategy can bring changes in the community that would be unachievable through traditional vehicle patrol alone. Foot patrols have been critical to many communities across the country, strengthening the bonds between community members and officers while providing a coordinated effort to prevent and solve crime.
A foot patrol strategy that incorporates the planning elements discussed here will result in a cooperative effort between the community and the police and increase the quality of life within the community. This cooperative effort will also lead to a higher level of trust between the community and the police, more citizen involvement, and a community that starts to hold its members accountable.

Green River High School recently received a $2,500 grant from 100 Percent for Kids, a program administered by Utah's Credit Unions. Gary Arrington presented Green River High teacher Art Hughes with the check.
Green River High School accommodates 95 students in grades 7-12. As a small, rural school, there is very little money allocated for acquiring new technology. Hughes applied for the grant to purchase SMART boards for key classrooms in the school.
This new technology will allow students the opportunity to experience cooperation, innovation, responsibility and teamwork while learning in the classroom.

NPR's Matt Thompson Teaching New Media Entrepreneurs
The School of Communication's newest incoming adjunct instructor, Matt Thompson, learned media technology on the fly. Hired as the first online reporter/producer for The Fresno Bee in 2004, Thompson drove cross country with his parents in a U-Haul truck armed with a copy of O'Reilly Media's Flash coding manual Essential ActionScript 2.0, determined to be ahead of the digital curve upon his arrival in California.
Thompson says he didn't expect to use the theoretical coding knowledge he'd gleaned right away. But, once there, he learned his team had five days to complete a sophisticated multimedia project on the anniversary of a Fresno landmark.
With limited background, Thompson was required to jump in headfirst and produce fast. "I had to learn a lot of tricks. That project illustrates how much my career has been hand-in-hand with education," he says. "I feel like I've never left."
Not only did Thompson pull it off (and won a "Best of the West" award to boot), he's gone on to master all types of media concepts, and build on them as an emerging thought leader in the industry. Welcome to the new digital media landscape.
Thompson has been helping to define that landscape for a long time. He is a sought-after speaker and collaborator. These days, he's Manager of Digital Initiatives (and Mischief) at NPR. There, he works on a variety of digital and broadcast initiatives, such as launching a team to cover race, ethnicity and culture for NPR. Previously at NPR, Thompson developed 12 niche, local websites in conjunction with NPR member stations.
After years of developing cutting-edge digital media content for newspapers and serving on the National Advisory Board at the Poynter Institute, Thompson also currently sits on the board of directors at the Center for Public Integrity.
Thompson was recruited to teach at SOC for his deep knowledge, adventurous initiative and for his success at teaching and coaching learners on managing new media's ever-changing face. In the summer of 2013, Thompson will teach Media Technology Management for students in the new Master's in Media Entrepreneurship program. His course covers what a media technology project should look and feel like, beginning to end. Thompson says his course asks the questions, "How do you set up technology at startup? And, how do you manage a dynamic project, for a variety of stakeholders within a short time frame? There's a lot to manage to get it off the ground."
Thompson is a perfect fit for MAME's crop of new media entrepreneurs. By helping the newest group of digital dreamers map new horizons, information becomes clearer and more interactive. "The only constant," Thompson notes, "is learning."

January 30, 2014 | Alexandra Mulvey
Angelina Jolie shocked the world in May 2013 when she announced via a New York Times op-ed that she had undergone a preventative double mastectomy. Jolie has a defective BRCA1 gene, which means she has a much higher than average risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer, diseases which killed her mother, grandmother, and aunt. Knowing that she was likely to develop breast or ovarian cancer, Jolie chose a mastectomy and brought renewed interest to genetics and cancer, as well as debate about available cancer prevention tactics and cancer treatments. But as often happens when celebrities share their cancer story, little if any emphasis is placed on the need to fund life-saving cancer research.
Jolie was not the only celebrity with a cancer announcement last year. Roger Ebert, the long-time movie critic, died only two days after telling readers that he had been diagnosed with a recurrence of cancer following a hip fracture.
"It really stinks that the cancer has returned and that I have spent too many days in the hospital. So on bad days I may write about the vulnerability that accompanies illness. On good days, I may wax ecstatic about a movie so good it transports me beyond illness." Ebert had dealt with thyroid and salivary gland cancer and had been fighting different cancers on and off for more than a decade. If he spoke about the need for cancer research, however, the media gave little attention to it.
Many celebrities spoke out quickly after cancer diagnosis and treatment hoping to get others to be more aware of their own health. In late November, actor Hugh Jackman posted a photo showing he'd had basal cell carcinoma removed from his nose after his wife asked him to get the spot checked out. Jackman told media he'd done that in the hope that other people would use sunscreen and be more likely to get checked for cancer.
Total openness was the path of HLN host Dr. Drew when he told his viewers in September that he'd had his prostate removed after finding prostate cancer that was about to spread. SportsCenter anchor Stuart Scott also chose to tell fans and viewers about his fight with cancer. After an emergency appendectomy in 2007, Scott's doctors discovered he had appendix cancer that had spread. After two remissions, he announced in January that he was again undergoing treatment for cancer.
The usual October talk of breast cancer awareness and screening was turned upside down when Amy Robach of ABC News got an on-air mammogram and was told a few weeks later she had cancer. Following her shocking discovery, Robach had a double mastectomy and became an advocate for regular screening while continuing to fight the disease. CNN anchor Zoraida Sambolin announced her plans to have a double mastectomy shortly after Jolie talked about her preventative mastectomy. Sambolin had struggled with what to tell viewers as she underwent the surgery and other breast cancer treatment, and said Jolie's advocacy helped give her courage.
Nearly 600,000 people died from cancer in the United States in 2013. We expect those numbers to go down as new cancer immunotherapy treatments become available, but we have to work to make that happen.
Many actors, reality TV stars, TV personalities and musicians announced diagnoses or remissions during the year and, sadly, some passed away in 2013. Among those who announced successful treatment were Dustin Hoffman, for throat cancer; reality star Camille Grammer, who had a hysterectomy to treat endometrial cancer; soul singer Sharon Jones, who completed chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer on New Years' Eve; Dancing With the Stars co-host Brooke Burke, with thyroid cancer; actor Tommy Chong, with prostate cancer; pop star Anastacia, who had a double mastectomy; model Angie Everhart, with thyroid cancer; and actress Jennifer Saunders, for breast cancer.
Many others are still fighting the disease like The Little Couple star Jen Arnold, who found out she had cancer while she and her husband were in the process of adopting their second child. Arnold has been open about her fight, even as she faces additional complications because of the rare type of uterine cancer she has and her dwarfism.
A few celebrities opted to share with the public that they were living with a terminal cancer diagnosis, hoping to spread the word about cancer awareness. The Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon has been particularly vocal, as he continues to live with colorectal cancer, about the need for more people to get screened and be aware of the disease. Living with terminal brain cancer hasn't stopped actress Valerie Harper either, and she was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars at the end of the year. Author Iain Banks and Youtube star Talia Joy Castellano both told fans of their terminal diagnoses before losing their battles in June and July, respectively.
Because of the bond many people form with celebrities, when celebrities are open about battles with cancer they open a public discussion about cancer. The past year has spurred much welcome debate about screening and current cancer treatment. But celebrities also need to call attention to the need for funding cancer research. Stars like Mark Harmon of NCIS, who appeared in a PSA campaign about cancer immunotherapy research, is one example. Prevention and early detection through screening will always be an important part of the conversation, but so is better treatment through scientific research.
Nearly 600,000 people died from cancer in the United States in 2013. We expect those numbers to go down as new cancer immunotherapy treatments become available, but we have to work to make that happen. Research is being done for all cancers and cancer immunotherapy is our best hope to prevent, treat, and one day cure cancer. Through the awareness generated from celebrity advocacy, and the Cancer Research Institute's work, we can make incredible progress toward beating cancer.
