PISCATAWAY, N.J. – The University of Delaware women's lacrosse team held a one-goal advantage at halftime, but Rutgers came back to defeat the Blue Hens, 8-7, in the final minute Saturday afternoon at RU Turf Field.
Backed by three goals from junior Caitlin McCartney (Doylestown, Pa.), UD went into halftime with a 4-3 lead over the Scarlet Knights.
Rutgers opened the second half with a vengeance, scoring two immediate goals to overtake the Hens, 5-4. The two teams remained scoreless for the next 14 minutes before Hailey Barnes gave the Scarlet Knights a 6-4 lead.
UD and RU then exchanged goals before sophomore Casey Lyons (Georgetown, Ontario, Canada) brought the Blue Hens within one at 7-6 with just over seven minutes remaining in the game.
With 1:22 left on the clock, sophomore Kara Dattellas (Camillus, N.Y.) gave Delaware life with her seventh goal of the season to tie things at 7-7.
Rutgers' Chrissy Schreiber would not allow UD to celebrate for long as the sophomore midfielder registered the game-winning goal with 23 ticks remaining.
McCartney led the Blue Hens (1-3) with her 17th career hat trick in addition to collecting two groundballs and controlling one draw.
Sophomore Erin Wein (Middletown, Md.) led the UD defense with four caused turnovers and three draw controls in addition to two groundballs. Dattellas posted a team-best three groundballs for the Hens.
Junior Alex Zaugra (Medford Lakes, N.J.) recorded all 60 minutes between the pipes and tallied four saves en route to the loss.
Lauren Sbrilli also posted a hat trick as Rutgers improves to 3-1 on the year. Amanda Currell earned the 'W' by registering 13 saves on the day.
Head Coach Kateri Linville
"We played our game plan by attacking hard and out-shooting our opponent. Unfortunately, we weren't able to build a lead because we did not place our shots. We were positioned to tie the game against a good opponent at the end. We did everything we could to solidify a tying goal, but ultimately we were unable to convert."
· Caitlin McCartney has tallied at least one point in 33 consecutive games.
· Chelsea Fay has scored at least one goal in 30 straight contests.
· Delaware is 0-3 on the road this season.
· Rutgers has won five straight and seven of the last eight against the Blue Hens.
· UD still holds the all-time series advantage between the two programs, 14-11, dating to the 1978 season.
· Kara Dattellas, Lizzie Duffey and Kirsten Hale each controlled two draws apiece.
· Delaware outshot Rutgers, 26-14.

I have been unsuccessful with getting her weaned from the nipple shield. I have tried taking it off midway through the feeding session but can't seem to get her to latch back on without it. She doesn't like to open her mouth very wide. Does anyone have any advice on how to get her latched without the nipple shield? Thanks

Carnaval del Barrio: In the Heights Original Cast Reunites in Washington Heights
The original Broadway cast of the Tony Award-winning musical reunited for a one night only concert.
The audience was so eager for the return of In the Heights on Monday that the box office line at the United Palace of Cultural Arts was four blocks long. Tony Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeted to fans waiting outside, promising the show wouldn't start without them.
The one-night-only reunion concert was a kickoff event to benefit the Broadway League's Viva Broadway, an initiative to spark Hispanic interest in theater. The venue, an ornate former vaudeville and movie theater in Washington Heights, sits almost eight miles uptown from the show's former Broadway home, the Richard Rodgers Theater, on West 46th Street. February 14 will mark the five year anniversary of In the Heights' opening on Broadway, where it played from February 2008 through January 2011, a total 1184 performances. The show received the 2008 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score, Best Orchestrations, and Best Choreography. Lin-Manuel Miranda, Robin De Jesus, and Olga Merediz received Tony nominations for their performances in the show.
The principal cast members for the reunion were Andréa Burns (The Full Monty), Janet Dacal (Wonderland), Robin De Jesus (Rent), Mandy Gonzalez (Wicked), Christopher Jackson (The Jammer), Olga Merediz (Mamma Mia), Rick Negron (The Mystery of Edwin Drood), Karen Olivo (Murder Ballad), Eliseo Román (Leap of Faith), Seth Stewart (Sweet Charity), and Natalie Toro (A Tale of Two Cities).
The ensemble members included original cast members Michael Balderrama, Blanca Camacho, Tony Chiroldes, Rogelio Douglas Jr., Rosie Lani Fiedelman, Joshua Henry, Afra Hines, Stephanie Klemons, Nina LaFarga, Doreen Montalvo, Javier Muñoz, Krysta Rodriguez, Luis Salgado, Shaun Taylor-Corbett, and Rickey Tripp. Five years later, these original cast members now included a Tony winner (Olivo for West Side Story), and two additional Tony nominees (Henry for Scottsboro Boys and a second nomination for de Jesus for La Cage Aux Folles).
During the Finale number, an additional "alumni" chorus, consisting of more actors who had appeared on Broadway or on the national tour of In the Heights, joined the stage.
The concert was introduced by Charlotte St. Martin, executive director of the Broadway League, and Luis A. Miranda Jr., father of creator Lin-Manuel, and co-producer of the event. Miranda talked about how the idea for the concert came from a conversation between his son and Karen Olivo.
The notably young crowd was marked by visible cell phone screens throughout the show, but the excited documenters were just as happy to join the cast when they held their glowing phones in the air during "Blackout." And they knew all the words, rapping along with Chris Jackson and Lin-Manuel, yelling out the next lines before the actors even could. Audience members also got a special treat: They heard two cut songs from the musical, including a song for Benny (Chris Jackson) called "Hear Me Out."
Leaving the theater, we overheard one teenage boy saying exclaiming in awe, "He said 'Bennett Park!'" [a lyric from the finale identifying a neighborhood landmark.] Moments like this were why it was important, and completely awesome, to bring Heights to the Heights.
If you couldn't make it to the Heights on Monday, YouTube has your back. Check out some highlights from the reunion.

The Patriots won the final game of the three-game series, 17-10.
The winner of the tournament will advance to the NJCAA Div. II World Series.

PHP now has analogue input... :O
Well chaps I have successfully got a STANDARD PHP 5.x install,
php script to talk to the USB Arduino Diecimila Board. I am
using Windows XP CLI ATM and when I have done the Linux
console version I will post both on here for all to see...
Unless of course you would like to see the Windows version
now before I get the Linux one going.
Hmmm, I wonder if STANDARD PERL install can access Arduino.
Now this is fun using languages in the way they weren`t

I have always loved Nars, so I just had to show you the Fall/Autumn collection for 2010. The collection is a collaboration between Nars & Daphne Guinness, launched on August 1st.
To create this look:
A coat of Smudge-Proof Eyeshadow Base, followed by a wash of Daphne Single Eyeshadow. Using the Wide Contour Brush, build color and intensity along the outer eye. For brightness in the inner eye, apply Mangrove Single Eyeshadow and lightly lined the top and bottom lashes with Nuits Blanches Eyeliner Stylo.
Brows were defined with Ipanema Eyebrow Pencil. The look was finished off with two coats of Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara to both the top and bottom lashes.
The pièce de résistance: Daphne's lips, stained with Rouge Basque Lipstick and highlighted with Scandal Lip Gloss for ultimate shine and fullness.
The products & prices:
Love the look of this blush! I hope it has a soft shimmer!
Douceur Blush £19.50
Looks nice, probably too deep for me? Mind you it is a fall shade.
Rouge Basque Lipstick (Limited Edition) £17.00
A rosy gloss – my favourite lip gloss from Nars is Risky Business, a sheer persimmon – so I may like this one too!
Strawberry Fields Lip Gloss (Limited Edition) £17.00
Cor! Love purple, must have this.
Daphne Eyeshadow £16.00
Unsure of this one, as I don't like these kind of mid toned browns, we'll see.
Coconut Grove Eyeshadow £16.00
A golden highlighter shade – will have to see this one in person. It looks like a very bright yellow.
Mangrove Eyeshadow (Limited Edition) £16.00
Looks gorgeous! Must have! The right hand grey looks interesting.
Tzarine Eyeshadow Duo £23.00
It looks similar in concept to Tzarine (a light and very dark eyeshadow) but this one is a dark blue and the other is a grey?
Rajasthan Eyeshadow Duo (Limited Edition) £23.00
Arrghh. Must have this. Definitely.
Palladium Soft Touch Shadow Pencil (Limited Edition) £15.00
What I've found interesting about this collection is that some products are marked as Limited Editions – I was told that Nars rarely did Limited Editions in their main collections (with the exception of specials, like the Christmas palettes).
Will making some of the products limited edition make them sell out quicker? Would it get you rushing down to the counter on the release?!

John Terry and the interim Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez were involved in a row at the club's Cobham training complex om Monday, according to the Sun.
The stunned players were in dismay after watching their captain and coach clash just before the session, the paper reports.
It seems an alarming situation for the club as their form continues to dip from the start of the season where they were at the top of the table until week nine.
Benitez had called all the players in a circle to discuss their 2-0 loss to Manchester City. Terry, who did not make the squad on Sunday, spoke out and soon both got involved in an argument.
A witness said: "It all kicked off between JT and Benitez as their frustrations over Sunday boiled over into a big bust-up."
Chelsea could have given City a run for their money for the second place, if they had beaten thier rivals on Sunday.
Now Tottenham have replaced Chelsea in the third spot with a thrilling win over West Ham United. Arsenal are knocking on the door of the current Champions League holders for the qualifying spot, with just a two points gap between them.

A lot of optimizations can be done with the CPU flags. The trouble is that high level programming languages don't expose them, I'm looking at you C. The C language for it's part assumes the flags don't exist so that it doesn't have to emulate them on architectures which don't have them.
Something as basic as determining whether A+B has overflowed is non-trivial in C, especially considering how overflow logic gets optimized away, see this heated discussion in GCC's bug tracker:
IMHO the lack of overflow flags is a deficiency of most high level languages.
Another flag we don't see much of is the parity flag, but I've found a very interesting way to use parity bits to optimize multi-word multiplication algorithms. An efficient population count function would do the trick too since the least significant bit represents parity. Even though C is thought to be the best low level language, there still exists a gap between it and assembly language.

An old dog is getting the chance to learn some new tricks thanks to an informal network of animal lovers stretching all the way from Citra to north of New York City.
An old dog is getting the chance to learn some new tricks thanks to an informal network of animal lovers stretching all the way from Citra to north of New York City.
Diesel, an 8-year-old Rottweiler mix, was hours away from being euthanized when his photo — posted on a Facebook page — caught the attention of a local animal lover.
Wanda Lasher was drawn to Diesel because his name resonated on a personal level, as she is the owner of Jiffy Transport Inc., a Citra-based trucking company.
"I looked down at his picture and said 'How in the world can they put him to sleep? I've got to get this dog,' " Lasher said.
A profound love of animals is integral to Lasher's character. She got her first dog from an Ocala shelter when she was 7 years old.
"My mom and dad took me down to the animal control in Ocala," Lasher recalled. "I was so upset because I wanted to take them all. I couldn't stop thinking about all the ones I had to leave."
That experience would lead to Lasher's neighbors all knowing her for the menagerie of rescued animals living at her home, including cats, dogs, horses and a pig.
"I've always loved animals. You can't save them all, but I'm sure going to try to save as many as I can," she said.
With time running out for Diesel, Lasher went into a frenzy of phone calls in an effort to beat the clock and save the dog.
An animal-loving friend, Mary Ann Roberts, soon put Lasher in touch with Carol Borrelli, the founder and COO of Cinagro Farms Rescue Services Inc., of Leesburg. Borrelli began the screening and application process that would allow Lasher to adopt Diesel, while also coordinating rescue efforts with Tina Fellows of New York-based NY Pet-I-Care.
"We try to work as closely as we can with other rescue operations," Borrelli said. "(But) I couldn't have helped at all without a great adopter like Wanda."
A volunteer from NY Pet-I-Care transported Diesel from Animal Care and Control of New York City to Northwind Kennel of Bedford, NY, where he was cared for while awaiting transport to Citra.
Unfortunately, a checkup while preparing Diesel for adoption revealed he was suffering from both kennel cough and a benign growth on a forepaw. The growth only needed monitoring, but the kennel cough risked infecting Lasher's other dogs, necessitating a delay while Diesel recuperated.
Lasher used the time to start asking around among local truckers to find someone who could get Diesel to Florida.
According to Borrelli, "Normally, we either have to fly an animal or arrange for ground transport, but that can take weeks and weeks."
Lasher's search for transport led her to Jackie Wise, the dispatcher for 4D's Trucking Inc. of Reddick. Wise's father, Mike Dengel, owns the company and makes frequent runs to New York.
"We're an animal-loving family with six dogs of our own," Wise said. "We tried to help any way we could."
Wise coordinated efforts to get Diesel to Florida, but her father's schedule meant that he was unable to meet up with Northwind Kennel workers during his first two trips through the area.
"Finally, one of his clients was on the same exact exit where the dog was being picked up," Wise said. "It wasn't a hard task, it was just a matter of getting everyone on the same page."
Dengel picked Diesel up at 3 p.m. the Friday before Thanksgiving and had him in Reddick for Lasher to pick up by 3:15 p.m. that Sunday.
"To me, the biggest hero is Mike Dengel," Lasher said. "He went there three times to get this dog."
"My dad is one of the most outstanding men that I know. He does absolutely anything he can to help someone in need," Wise said.
Since Diesel got to Citra, Lasher has been using her local pet care contacts to get him a free grooming at Magical Wilde Clips and a veterinary checkup at Magnolia Animal Hospital.
Additionally, Diesel took so well to the trip that one of Lasher's drivers, Mike "Brooklyn" Levy, had the passenger seat in his semi-trailer removed so the dog can travel with him.
"He loved the riding, so that's what we'll let him do," Lasher said. "Monday through Friday, he's going to be a trucker, and on the weekends he'll come back here.
"He'll get a lot of love for the rest of his life."

Johnson Marketing Professor Nominated for Top Research Honor
Sachin Gupta's paper one of four finalists for Journal of Marketing Research's top honor
June 11, 2014
Sachin Gupta, Henrietta Johnson Louis Professor of Management and professor of marketing at the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, and Sungho Park, PhD '10, have been named finalists for one of the marketing disciplines most coveted research awards. Gupta and Park, now assistant professor of marketing at Arizona State University, are finalists for the 2014 O'Dell Award that honors the Journal of Marketing Research article published in 2009 that has made the most significant long-term contribution to marketing theory, methodology and/or practice.
Their paper, "Simulated Maximum Likelihood Estimator for the Random Coefficient Logit Model Using Aggregate Data," appeared in the August 2009 issue of the journal, which is published by the American Marketing Association. In the paper, the authors present a new method for using aggregate sales data to model the dependence of demand on marketing mix activities. The paper is based on Chapter 1 of Sungho Park's Ph.D dissertation, completed while he was at Cornell University.
Until the development and publication of the method presented by Park and Gupta in the paper, researchers relied upon a method commonly known as "BLP," which was created by three economists in 1995. One drawback to the BLP approach is that it assumes that observed market shares of brands have no sampling error. This assumption was easily met in the economists' study, as they were analyzing automobile shares in the entire U.S. market, greatly reducing the likelihood of sampling error in the observed market shares.
Yet in many other situations, the sample sizes underlying observed market shares are not as large as in the case of the U.S. auto industry, which can result in significant sampling errors. The method developed by Park and Gupta assumes there is sampling error in observed market shares, and is therefore more applicable—and realistic—when market shares arise from smaller sample sizes. Examples of such situations occur frequently in consumer packaged goods industries, where point-of-sale measurement systems report market shares at the retail store or chain level.
The Park and Gupta method also addresses another weakness of the BLP method. The latter does not provide good estimates of the distribution of consumer preferences, which are of critical importance to marketers, who use these data for segmentation and targeting. The Park and Gupta method provides efficient estimates of the distribution of consumer preferences.
The Park and Gupta method, while relatively young compared with the BLP approach, already has been cited in numerous academic research papers, as well as in working papers and books. Marketing researchers expect the method to have broad appeal in multiple disciplines outside of marketing, such as economics, ecology, and operations management, due to its strengths in modeling dependence of demand on a mix of marketing activities.
The winner of the O'Dell Award will be announced from four finalists' papers in June 2014. Gupta previously won the prize, in 2008, for the paper "Is 75% of the Sales Promotion Bump Due to Brand Switching? No, Only 33% Is" with co-authors Harald J. van Heerde and Dick R. Wittink. Two of his previous papers have also been finalists for this award in 2001 and 2002.

When I read the wedding part, I thought that Tanya would try to kill Bella or do something else to get Edward "back" ( well, he was never interested...). But she was SO nice in the end... I didn't expect that.
I like Kate and Garret aswell because they just happened to meet and fall in love with each other because of the Volturi. And Garret is really one of a kind...xD
Eleazar was very interesting and I never thought that he was one of the Volturi or had this kind of talent.
I really loved the Denali coven because they weren't as bad as I'd imagined, but Irina was a freak and an idiot. I know she was brave in the end, but she betrayed her family just to get revenge! Her death was sad, but it didn't matter that much to me.

1. Attempting to trade Sanchez. If they turn half of his base salary into a bonus that will make his base salary around $4 million for next year and therefore making him more appealing to a team who is looking for a guy to compete for a starting QB job or for a backup. Henne got paid $3.375 per year to be the backup in Jacksonville so paying $4 million for Sanchez is not out of the realm of possibililty. And contrary to popular belief Sanchez does have trade value at the $4 million price range. It may not be anything more then a 5th or 6th but somebody will take a shot with him if the Jets pursue a deal. Arz, KC, Jax are all teams that may be willing to bring a guy in who has had success in this league and who is better then what they have now. And the positive for the Jets, beyond what they may get for him is that they break out even on the cap in 2013 and would have no dead money in 2014.
2. Like you said in your post above, releasing Sanchez after June 1st is the 2nd possibility. Yes there is a dead money hit in 2014 but getting him off the team and moving forward is the most important thing. Plus the cap is supposed to jump quite a bit in 2014 due to the new TV contracts starting up so eating $4 million will be more palatable.
A new GM will want a fresh start and moving Tebow and Sanchez will be his first priority. Move on from the old drama and look to the future. That's what I would do anyway.

Remember when Ashanti was competing with Beyonce as the next Queen of R&B, musically she got beat down like Victor Ortiz taking the two piece and a biscuit from Mayweather.
Physically though she is still a cutie.
Her and Lebron were in DC for something I don't really care about, but Bron had a nice backside view of Ashanti curves hugging her purple outfit.
Lebron looks like a member of Men in Black.

Submission + - Firefox OS - Disruptive By Aiming Low (techweekeurope.co.uk)
judgecorp writes: "As Apple launches a new slightly-improved iPhone 5, Mozilla CTO Brendan Eich says if you want a really disruptive phone you should look to Firefox OS. It's a low-cost low-end device — and that's the point. It uses standards so should be resistant to patent infringement suits, it will fit on featurephone-grade hardware, and it will run HTML5 apps without the restriction of native apps in an app store. In other words, it's aiming for the next 2 billion smartphone users, people who can't afford the iPhone/Android model."

A hearty main dish soup with sweet peas, arborio rice and hot Italian sausage. Rich, creamy and flavorful with a hint of sweetness and a touch of spiciness, this is a comforting soup that will satisfy on all levels.
The soup is started the same way as Risotto Milanese by sauteing onion and garlic and toasting the rice in butter. Instead of a little at a time, the broth goes in all at once along with sweet peas and cooked, crumbled sausage. A quick simmer for a soup, 20 minutes, and then the special finishing touch; a glug of half & half and Parmesan cheese.
It's best to serve the soup immediately or the rice will continue to suck up every ounce of the broth; stir additional broth into the soup when reheating leftovers.
A hearty main dish soup with sweet peas, arborio rice and hot Italian sausage.
- In a large skillet brown sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Meanwhile in a large soup pot or sauce pan saute onion in enough olive oil to cover bottom of pan over medium-low heat until soft and tender. Season well with salt and pepper. Add garlic saute until fragrant.
- Melt in butter then add rice and basil, turn heat up to medium, cook for 3-4 minutes stirring often.
- Add chicken broth, peas and cooked sausage, season again with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cook about 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
- Add half & half and Parmesan cheese, bring to a simmer, cook five more minutes. If you have fresh basil on hand chop and add a few leaves. Serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese and crusty bread or croutons

Police investigating the disappearance of Bacchus Marsh woman Sarah Cafferkey have discovered what are believed to be human remains in a Point Cook home.
Detectives made the discovery while executing a warrant at a house in Fongeo Drive overnight.
They are yet to identify the remains and continue to investigate a number of leads.
Ms Cafferkey, 22, was last seen by her family more on November 9. She has not accessed her bank account since.
Homicide detectives took over the investigation after it emerged that she had received threats from a male friend in the lead-up to her disappearance.
"Due to the length of time that she's been missing and that her car was found in a location that her family is not familiar with, the investigation is now being conducted by the homicide squad," a police spokeswoman said on Saturday.
Friends of Ms Cafferkey said on Facebook that a male friend had posted threatening messages to her in the days before she disappeared. The messages have been shown to police and are no longer on her Facebook page.
Ms Cafferkey's 2001 Astra sedan was found in Owen Street, Maribyrnong, on Thursday night. At the time, police said there was no evidence of foul play. But investigators remain concerned for her welfare and are pursuing "several lines of inquiry", a spokeswoman said.
Police have said that Ms Cafferkey needs regular medication for a rare asthma-related illness.
Jennifer Wojcicki posted on Ms Cafferkey's Facebook page on Saturday: "I've lost [hours] of sleep over the week. I've been so stressed and scared, my brain is in over drive thinking, I've cried so many tears, I've watched and read more news segments than ever before in my life, and I've never felt more helpless, all this because I care and love you.
"The girl I've known since the day I was born. The girl I know with the gorgeous smile and the bubbly infectious personality. Please be ok safe and well and home with your family and friends soon."
Catt Angwin posted to Ms Cafferkey on Friday: "I cant stop thinking about your gorjus [sic] smile that always lights the room up .. I just wanna hear you safe and okay! love you sarBear. "
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000.

text: I wanted to get some encouragement that its okay to wait till my baby is six months old before offering her anything but breast milk. I feel like I am the absolute minority amongst all my friends with babies. They've all already started their babies on solids by 5 months, even if they breastfeed exclusively. Our pediatrician said no later than 5.5 months for rice cereal because they need to practice on that before they need solids for nutritional value at 6 months. What did you all do with your babies? I'd like to start her on solids only when is absolutely necessary since I'm a single mom right now (husband is serving overseas) and breastfeeding is so much easier and good for her immunities. I plan on making my own organic baby food but purchasing organic rice cereal when we do start solids, hopefully at six months. LO will be 5 months next week.

I just had to put my magnificent Little Bear (http://catoftheday.com/archive/2010/February/06.html) to sleep on March 9; he also had cancer (squamous cell carcinoma), original site was in his cheek, radiation and other non-chemo meds seemed to stabilize the tumor, but it spread to his sinus/nasal cavity). My heart goes out to you, as I know all too well what you are going through.

Decision : 32 COM 8B.18
Examination of nomination of natural, mixed and cultural proprerties to the World Heritage List - Le Morne Cultural Landscape (MAURITIUS)
1. Having examined Documents WHC-08/32.COM/8B and WHC-08/32.COM/INF.8B1,
2. Inscribes the Le Morne Cultural Landscape, Mauritius, on the World Heritage List as a relict and associative cultural landscape on the basis of criteria (iii) and (vi);
3. Adopts the following Statement of Outstanding Universal Value:
Le Morne Cultural Landscape is an exceptional testimony to maroonage or resistance to slavery in terms of the mountain being used as a fortress to shelter escaped slaves, with physical and oral evidence to support that use. Le Morne represents maroonage and its impact, which existed in many places around the world, was demonstrated so effectively on Le Morne mountain. It is a symbol of slaves' fight for freedom, their suffering, and their sacrifice, all of which have relevance beyond its geographical location, to the countries from which the slaves came - in particular the African mainland, Madagascar, India, and South-east Asia- and represented by the Creole people of Mauritius and their shared memories and oral traditions.
Criterion (iii): The mountain is an exceptional testimony to maroonage or resistance to slavery in terms of it being used as a fortress for the shelter of escaped slaves, with evidence to support that use.
Criterion (vi): The dramatic form of the mountain, the heroic nature of the resistance it sheltered, and the longevity of the oral traditions associated with the maroons, has made Le Morne a symbol of slaves' fight for freedom, their suffering, and their sacrifice, all of which have relevance beyond its geographical location, to the countries from which the slaves came - in particular the African mainland, Madagascar and India and South-east Asia.
The values of the property, in relation to the shelter of the maroons and their attempts to escape to freedom, extend beyond the main bulk of the mountain to the foothills and coast. Only the mountain is in the property and its spiritual qualities extend well into its surroundings. To preserve the integrity of the mountain means considering the property and buffer zone as a management unit. There is no doubt over the authenticity of the remains of maroon settlements on the mountains nor of the strong associations between the maroons and the mountain which are now known and valued far beyond the area.
The legal protection in place is adequate for the property; the Planning Policy Guidance for the buffer zone needs to be rigorously enforced. The current Management Plan is a good framework document, but needs to be augmented with detailed sub-plans and extended to address the marine environment of the buffer zone. The management system for the property should include professional staff with conservation and other appropriate disciplines and capacity building programmes.
4. Recommends that the State Party:
- a) increase the management system for the property to include professional staff with conservation and other appropriate disciplines and through capacity building programmes
- b) improve the Management Plan through the development of sub-plans which identify actions and resources, particularly relating to protection of the buffer zone;
- c) include the monitoring of views, appropriate awareness of and respect for oral traditions, and the marine environment in the monitoring programme.
5. Requests the State Party to:
- a) enforce the Planning Policy Guidance for developments in the buffer zone and refrain from approving any developments in the property;
- b) develop a comprehensive analysis on the implication of building heights in the buffer zone and the villages of Coteau Raffin and La Gaulette on the Outstanding Universal Value of the property;
- c) establish a regular monitoring mechanism on the key views and sight axis of the property.

Two goals in the final seven minutes helped Coca-Cola League Two leaders Rochdale stretch their advantage at the top of the table to five points.
Gary Jones and Chris O'Grady helped Rochdale to a 3-1 victory over Dagenham & Redbridge, who were without manager John Still through illness, at Spotland.
The visitors were on course for a point after holding on from the 10th minute when John Scott swiftly equalised Temitope Obadeyi's opener, only for the leaders to produce their late salvo.
Second-placed Bury were without a game, but third-placed Bournemouth failed to fully capitalise as they were held to a 1-1 draw at the Fitness First Stadium by Macclesfield. Nat Brown put the Silkmen in front in the 62nd minute, but substitute Alan Connell kept the Cherries in the promotion hunt with an 85th-minute equaliser.
Bottom-of-the-table Darlington conceded three goals in the final 10 minutes at home to Chesterfield to further compound their relegation fears. The Quakers were on course for victory thanks to a double from Tadgh Purcell either side of the break, only to then collapse in dramatic fashion as strikes from Simon Whaley, Drew Talbot and an own goal from Ritchie Byrne lifted the Spireites up to fourth.
Darlington are eight points adrift of second-bottom Grimsby after the Mariners managed a 2-2 draw with Lincoln at Blundell Park. On-loan Lee Peacock's double was not enough for Grimsby as Lincoln, who had taken a fourth-minute lead through Chris Herd, grabbed a point thanks to Brian Gilmour's equaliser on the hour.
Accrington Stanley maintained their play-off hopes with a 2-0 home win over Bradford thanks to a brace from John Miles which moves them to within a point of seventh-placed Notts County, who were held to a 1-1 draw at Aldershot. The Magpies left it late, with Ben Davies scoring the equaliser in the first minute of injury-time after Oliver Bozanic had given Aldershot the lead.
Cheltenham eased their relegation worries, moving seven points clear of the relegation zone with a 2-0 win over play-off hopefuls Morecambe with goals from Julian Alsop and Matt Thornhill while Aldershot's draw and Morecambe's defeat allowed Burton to move up to ninth and within two points of the play-off positions after a 4-3 win at Hereford.
Barnet ended a run of 10 successive away defeats with a 2-0 win at Port Vale thanks to two goals from John O'Flynn who took his tally for the season to 14.
Northampton suffered their first away defeat since November, losing 3-2 at Crewe for whom Ashley Westwood was twice on target prior to Simon Walton scoring the 69th-minute winner.

Developing Visual Studio Project Wizardsby Ron Petrusha
While creating customized Visual Studio project templates alone can be useful in providing some boilerplate code and in eliminating the need to perform some repetitive operations (such as adding references to .NET assemblies), the real power of Visual Studio project templates becomes evident when they are combined with Visual Studio wizards. When used with a wizard, a Visual Studio template can create a project whose content reflects conditions specified by the template user at design time.
Visual Studio 2005 features a new object model for developing wizards, as well as a new method of integrating wizards with templates. Unfortunately, in the online help included with Visual Studio .NET, the documentation for its previous versions remains very prominent, while the new documentation is difficult to find. In addition, although large portions of the object model for developing wizards in previous versions still work in Visual Studio 2005, other portions do not.
The Wizard Object Model
Wizards that extend Visual Studio 2005 templates are developed as class library projects. The Visual Studio 2005 extensibility model requires that the class that provides the implementation code implement the IWizard interface. The methods of IWizard are automatically called by Visual Studio at various points as it creates a project from your template. These callback methods give you access to the Visual Studio object environment--which is represented by the DTE2 interface, which in turn represents the application-level object in the object model--and to the VSProject interface, which provides access to elements of the project created by the template. Since IWizard is the central element of the object model, we'll begin by examining it in detail.
The IWizard Interface
The IWizard interface, which is defined in the Microsoft.VisualStudio.TemplateWizard namespace and is found in the Microsoft.VisualStudio.TemplateWizard.dll assembly, defines six callback methods that are invoked by Visual Studio as it generates a project or a project item from a template. Each of these six methods must be implemented in your code, even if you only provide a stub implementation (that is, if you provide a method definition but don't actually include any code). The six callback methods are defined in the following subsections.
The RunStarted Method
This method is called by Visual Studio whenever any template that includes a wizard is first started. The
RunStarted method serves as the entry point into wizard code. The method has the following signature:
RunStarted(automationObject As Object, _
replacementsDictionary As Dictionary(Of String, String), _
runKind As WizardRunKind, _
customParams As Object() )
Its parameters reflect the items of information that Visual Studio provides about the Visual Studio environment, the project, and the template. These are:
An argument of type
Object that represents the Visual Studio application. It in turn is cast or converted to an
EnvDTE80.DTE2 object, the application-level object in the Visual Studio extensibility object model, and is typically assigned to a global variable. For example, the following Visual Basic code provides a skeletal framework for caching the reference to the Visual Studio application object:
Public Class MyWizard : Implements IWizard
Private vsApp As EnvDTE80.DTE2
Public Sub RunStarted(ByVal automationObject As Object_
ByRef replacementsDictionary As Dictionary(Of String, String), _
ByVal runKind As WizardRunKind, _
ByVal customParams As Object) _
Implements IWizard.RunStarted
If TypeOf automationObject Is DTE2 Then
Me.vsApp = DirectCast(automationObject, DTE2)
Throw New ArgumentException("Unable to get a reference to the Visual Studio environment. ")
End If
End Sub
End Class
The following is the equivalent C# code:
public class MyWizard : IWizard
private DTE2 vsApp;
public void RunStarted(object automationObject,
Dictionary<string, string> replacementsDictionary,
WizardRunKind runKind,
object[] customParams)
if (automationObject is DTE2)
this.vsApp = (DTE2)automationObject;
throw new ArgumentException("Unable to get a reference to the Visual Studio environment. ")
The replacements dictionary defines the replaceable string parameters used for a project. (For details on replaceable string parameters, see Creating Visual Studio Project Templates.) The
replacementsDictionary parameter makes these replaceable string parameters programmatically available to the wizard, and allows the wizard to modify the value of existing parameters, as well as to add new items to the dictionary.
The replacements dictionary is available to the
RunStarted method as a generic
Dictionary object whose keys and values are both strings. The key consists of the parameter name enclosed in dollar-sign symbols (such as
$projectname$). You can iterate the dictionary using Visual Basic code like the following:
For Each entry As KeyValuePair(Of String, String) In replacementsDictionary
' Do something with the key/value pair.
' Its key is returned by the entry.Key property.
' Its value is returned by the entry.Value property
or using C# code like the following:
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, string> entry in replacementsDictionary)
// Do something with the key/value pair.
// Its key is returned by the entry.Key property.
// Its value is returned by the entry.Value property
You can also retrieve a value by its key name by using the
Dictionary object's
Item property (in Visual Basic) or its indexer (in C#). However, the attempt to retrieve a key that is not defined in the dictionary throws a
KeyNotFoundException. To prevent this, you call the
Dictionary object's
ContainsKey method beforehand to verify that the key exists.

As the saying goes, those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Frankly, I don't know jack about history, but I imagine the saying works for pop-culture as well. I've learned a lot from all the years spent sitting on my ass watching movies and playing video games, lessons like: don't read from a flesh-bound Book of the Dead, don't conduct experiments in an effort to open a gateway to another dimension, don't dig up an ancient relic on a alien planet, and, of course, don't open Pandora's Box.
The demo of Legendary, a first-person shooter developed by Spark Unlimited, demonstrates the dangers of ignoring this last lesson, which, as it turns out, are the same dangers as ignoring any of the lessons above: if you mess around with science or magic or alien stuff, a bunch of horrible monsters will spill forth from some shadowy netherworld and a badass commando will have to shoot them all with a bunch of weapons that happen to be lying around unattended.
Displaying a casual attitude amidst horrifying cirumstances = you will be dead shortly.
The badass in this case is a guy named Deckard, and the monsters are creatures from mythology, like werewolves and minotaurs, who are ravaging the city streets along with some enemy soldiers whose presence isn't really explained. Standard FPS weapons are scattered around: shottie, SMG, sniper rifle, and grenades, and standard FPS companions are on the scene, like your commando buddy who cracks jokes and makes smart-aleck remarks before being predictably killed.
The werewolves are pretty tough opponents: they leap around, climb up the sides of buildings, and take a number of shots to go down. And, being werewolves, they aren't prone to staying down, either. Decapitate them with your axe or a shotgun blast, or they'll spring back up a few moments later. So, if you like shooting ragdoll corpses anyway, in this game it actually comes in handy.
I can't recall, is it a silver-bullet through the heart, or a shotgun blast to the junk?
Apart from the hardware, Deckard has another trick up his sleeve, literally: his hand is magical for some reason, and he can suck energy out of dead monsters and use it to either heal himself or zap enemies. His hand may be enchanted, but the rest of his arm definitely isn't -- the dude really sucks at throwing grenades. The one molotov I chucked at an enemy soldier six feet away only made it about half that distance and blew up in my face.
After fighting my way through the streets, I came to a gate with a giant werewolf behind it. I had no choice but to open it, and another one of the wise-cracking commandos with me said "Deckard, you see that werewolf behind the barricade, right? Just don't let it kill me, huh?" Anyway, he was horribly dismembered by the werewolf. That should be another lesson: don't be a wise-cracking squadmate or you'll be horribly dismembered by a werewolf.
You know what really stings?
Werewolf scratches directly across the surface of the eyeball.
Later, in some dank, corpse-strewn tunnels, I heard the echoing laughter of children, which turned out to be some sort of ghost. There's another pop-culture lesson: children are creepy and scary and their laughter is a horrible, horrible thing. It makes me worry about young gamers -- when they grow up and have kids, and their kids laugh in the next room, it's probably going to freak the shit out of them.
Eventually, I came upon two more wise-cracking commando pals who were quickly beaten to death by a rampaging minotaur. I don't know how this guy was stymied by a maze in ancient Greece for so long, because he didn't have any trouble running right through walls and pillars to whomp on me with a gravestone. Once he was dead, I followed a sign that said "Evacuation Shelter: Go to Church." The last thing I saw was two enemy soldiers near the church who were grabbed by giant tentacles and yanked over a wall, and then the demo abruptly ended. One last lesson: never go where evacuation signs point you, they're always far worse than where you currently are. Especially if they're in a church.
"We need two units and a maze, repeat, a maze!"
Honestly, I kinda dug this demo. Despite it being an extremely standard, by-the-numbers FPS in terms of weapons, looks, and gameplay, I like the concept of mythological creatures running rampant in the present day and it was a nice change to fight something other than demons, zombies, or aliens in a shooter. I could have done without the soundtrack, which was reminiscent of a garage band warming up, and the demo itself was so short you just spent more time reading about it than I did playing it. But, aside from those concerns and the other fourteen things I just complained about, I actually enjoyed it and wouldn't mind playing more.
Download the Legendary demo.

Use Life Insurance as an Estate Planning Tool
If you have several children, an extended family, or a number of beneficiaries to whom you wish to pass assets when you die, dividing your estate equally can be difficult. That is especially if your estate includes assets like real estate or a business. One simple way to avoid selling certain assets in order to divide your estate is to purchase life insurance that makes up the difference.
For example, say you own a home, have three kids, and your home makes up half of the value of your estate. You hope to leave an equal share of your estate to each of your three children. In order to do divide your estate into three equal shares, the home will have to be sold.
If you hope to leave the home to one of your children, life insurance could be a simple solution. Say your home is worth $1 million and you also own $1 million in other assets. Purchase a life insurance policy worth $1 million and make two of your children equal beneficiaries. Then leave the $1 million home to one child and half of your other assets to the other two children (the two who receive an equal share of the life insurance). The life insurance policy makes up the difference, each child gets an equal share, and your home will not need to be sold.

Hello guys
I'm making a facebook app and I made a great progress but stuck! I made an app in which it requires "Your basic info" and "Your e-mail address". If someone accepts the app use, I have the code that I can get
user locale
user country
and user oauth_token
It seems that I don't really know how to retrieve the name (first_name and last name) and other details. YES I can see all my details in a link like below
Graph

but I don't know how to store in a php variable the values. Can anyone help??? The only things I want to do, is retrieve the name and email of users who accept the app (through the canvas page) and post somthing to their wall if they answer a few questions.
Small paypal tip for the first one who helps!
(edit: there are some examples that are using the php sdk - have tried all of them, but nothing works!!!! This also doesn't work: )
Solution found. For those who understand facebook development, you can do this by using the json_decode
$graph = json_decode(file_get_contents("https://graph.facebook.com/".$code));
And then get values to php variables:
$id = $graph->id;
$name = $graph->first_name ;

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Massimo Pigliucci will give the talk, "Is Dawkins Delusional? On the Relationship between Science and Religion," Tuesday, April 24, at 7:30 p.m. in Trout Auditorium of the Vaughan Literature Building at Bucknell.
The talk, which is free to the public, is the second in the Science and Religion Lecture Series, co-organized by the departments of biology and religion at Bucknell.
Pigliucci says of his talk, "The relationship between science and religion has been a troubled one ever since Galileo's time. Today, scientific theories such as evolution and the big bang are under attack by religious fundamentalists, and scientists are starting to talk back, in some cases by attacking religion itself.
"My talk will address the good, the bad and the ugly in Richard Dawkins' arguments as laid out in his book, The God Delusion, and use them as a springboard to take a fresh look at the science-religion cultural wars."
Ecology and evolution and philosophy
Professor of ecology and evolution and of philosophy at SUNY-Stony Brook, Pigliucci works in the general area of plant evolutionary genetics. In addition to his expertise in biology, he has a doctorate in philosophy and pursues research interests in philosophy of science, particularly in conceptual and critical analyses of evolutionary theory. His website (rationallyspeaking.org) is devoted to what he calls "positive skepticism."
"This seminar series, co-organized by myself and Maria Antonaccio, associate professor of religion, was formed to promote a dialog between scientists and theologians," said Ken Field, assistant professor of biology at Bucknell.
"By discussing our different ways of seeing the world we hope to foster a broader understanding of the issues of conflict and of agreement between science and religion," he said.
This lecture series has been made possible through the generous sponsorship of the Office of the Provost, the University Lectureship Committee, the Office of the Chaplains and Religious Life, and the departments of biology, religion, philosophy, psychology, chemistry, and physics and astronomy.
