It's official: Some of the 90 pieces of gold and silver found in central England last year have formally been declared to be treasure.
Archaeologists found the haul in the same English field where an amateur treasure-hunter in 2009 discovered the largest find of Anglo-Saxon gold, silver and precious stones ever recorded.
South Staffordshire coroner Andrew Haigh confirmed Friday that most of the new haul is treasure, meaning that it is at least 300 years old and is made up of at least 10 percent precious metal. Anyone who finds an object believed to be treasure here must report it.
The British Museum said the original hoard, found by an unemployed man searching a farmer's field with a metal detector, is valued at 3.3 million pounds ($5.4 million).

173rd Commencement is Sunday• May 10, 2011 Share:
One hundred seventy-two men will receive sheepskin diplomas at Wabash College's 173rd Commencement Ceremony on Sunday, May 15. The proceedings will be held on the College Mall and begin at 2:30 p.m.
Wabash President Patrick E. White will preside over the ceremony. He will also "ring out" the Class of 2011 with the very same hand bell used by Caleb Mills to call the first Wabash students to class more than 175 years ago.
In keeping with long-standing tradition, only graduating seniors will give remarks at the Commencement Ceremony. Indianapolis native Deonte Singfield and Crawfordsville native Jacob Surface were selected by Dean Gary Phillips to present addresses.
Singfield (left), a history major and star football player for the Little Giants, will give a talk entitled "Ding Ding," a reference to the sound of the clanging of the Monon Bell — the trophy in the annual Wabash vs. DePauw football game.
Surface (below right), a political science major who has received a Pickering Graduate Foreign Affairs Fellowship, will give a speech entitled "Our Greatest Strength."
In addition to the awarding of bachelor's degrees to graduating seniors, Wabash will present honorary degrees to Indiana Governor Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr., Wabash alumnus Robert F. Charles '59, and Walter E. Massey, President of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Emeritus President of Morehouse College.
Honorary degree recipients will be celebrated at a luncheon with members of the Wabash College Board of Trustees.
Robert F. Charles majored in botany and graduated from Wabash in 1959 before earning a master's degree in horticulture from the University of Arizona. In 1965, he moved to Boulder Colorado, where he began a successful career as a McDonald's franchisee — owning 13 restaurants and developing the Happy Meal, the two-line drive-through, and paper tray liners to promote promotions and community activities. He founded the Ronald McDonald House in Denver, and has been a supporter of dozens of non-profits ranging from youth programs, social services, healthcare, and education. He has been honored for his service to the University of Colorado-Boulder, University of Arizona, and Wabash College.
Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. has served in government for 40 years, beginning in 1971 as an aide to then-Mayor of Indianapolis Richard Lugar and rising to become Indiana's 49th governor. He moved with Senator Lugar to Washington and worked as his administrative assistant. He would later serve on President Ronald Reagan's White House staff as Chief Political Advisor, and was Director of the Office of Management and Budget for President George W. Bush. An attorney, Governor Daniels also served as Chief Operating Officer of the Hudson Institute and later as President of Eli Lilly's North American Pharmaceutical Operations.
Walter E. Massey is the President of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is the President Emeritus of Morehouse College in Atlanta. He has also served as Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs of the University of California system, Professor of Physics and Dean of the College at Brown University, and Professor of Physics at the University of Chicago. As a physicist, he directed the Argonne National Laboratory and the National Science Foundation. He has served on scores of non-profit and corporate boards, including as Chairman of the Board of Bank of America and trustee of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Commencement Day activities begin with the Baccalaureate Service at 11 a.m. in the Pioneer Chapel on the Wabash campus. Wabash Board of Trustees Chairman Stephen S. Bowen '68 will give morning prayers. Christopher L. Coble '85, who is the Religion Program Director of Lilly Endowment Inc., will give the Baccalaureate Sermon.
Following the Commencement Ceremony, President White and his wife, Chris, will host a reception in honor of the graduates, their families, and the honorary degree recipients.

"Chose promise, chose due!" is a French expression that approximately translates to "promises are made to be kept". And as promised, this is the recipe for the citron confit I served to my family last night as part of the lemon tofu dish. I made it with approximately two pounds of freshly picked Meyer lemons from our garden.
You'll see that a lot of sugar is required to obtain the beautiful candied coating. But fear not, only a few thin slices per serving are necessary to flavor your dishes and the citron confit stores well for months. The one thing to keep in mind is to use organic, pesticide-free lemons, so even the rind is safely edible.
I always love the idea of my husband Lulu, who is a vegetarian, and me sharing an "almost" identical meal. It's not always easy, but it's worth the effort. For this recipe, first I prepared the meat version, wrapping turkey bacon over turkey breast. Then I repeated the same dish using fried tofu and Morningstar Farms brand vegan bacon. I stuffed both the turkey and tofu versions with slivers of a homemade Meyer lemon "citron confit."
I mentioned last week that we have an abundance of fragrant Meyer lemons from our garden. I cooked up a storm using up all the lemons we had and I'll be sharing all the recipes with you in the coming days.
Once in a while, I get into these "I-want-to-eat-freshly-made-food" moods. I've baked my own croissants and Vietnamese baguettes for my upcoming cookbook, "Banh Mi: 75 Authentic and Delicious Vietnamese Sandwich Recipes", which by the way is already available for pre-order. In the past few months, I've also made pasta, ravioli, wonton dough and of course there's my usual ritual of making fruit preserves.
I realized I haven't made soymilk at home in a long time. This weekend, I got the girls involved and we made our own. The process is ultra easy even though it's labor intensive. But the result is well worth it. The amber color is slightly darker than the one you get at the store and the velvety, almost buttery texture is very satisfying. We made many gallons of freshly made soymilk and used much of it in other dishes. I'll share those recipes soon.
Here's a recipe for an inexpensive, super easy and delicious snack. My husband Lulu and I usually love munching on snacks late in the evening and kale chips are a great way to do so guilt-free.
Kale chips are nutritious and low in calories with fewer than 50 calories per serving. I flavored the chips with Indian spices and Meyer lemon zest. You can find a similar recipe in my latest book, Haute Potato, made with waffle potato chips instead.
This is the time of the year when my husband Lulu brings me lots and lots of citrus from our garden. I'm always most excited about the lemons from our Meyer lemon tree. If you go to the market, you'll notice how expensive this variety of lemon is. It was such a treat when Lulu came inside a couple of days ago with about 50 Meyer lemons. It's a small dwarf tree and hasn't produced nearly as much in the past, but boy did it make up for it this year!
In honor of our bounty, I have a few recipes I'm going to dust off and make, such as Meyer lemon mousse, lemon curd, lemon cake and a few jars of marmalade. I also tried to think of a savory dish I could make, and Lulu suggested I adapt the lemon pasta sauce I made in the past (that recipe in turn was from Ina Garten) and turn it into a risotto.
This evening, I made the Meyer lemon flavored risotto and it was such a hit. I used a combination of garlic, shallots, butter and half and half in the dish, so really, how could it go wrong?

City Council members voted unanimously last week to loosen residency restrictions on sex offenders who are classified as "non-violent," but they made it clear that they were compelled to do so by state law.
City Council members voted unanimously last week to loosen residency restrictions on sex offenders who are classified as "non-violent," but they made it clear that they were compelled to do so by state law.
Under the city's existing ordinance, all sex offenders are forbidden from living within 2,500 feet of any school, child care facility, open space, community center, public park or recreational facility.
However, the amendment to the ordinance which was approved last week revises the law so that those restrictions apply only to "sexually violent predators," as defined by Pennsylvania State Police Megan's Law Registry.
That means, from this point forward, non-violent sex offenders can live anywhere they want in the city, even if it's right next door to an elementary school or daycare center.
"We're voting with a heavy heart," offered council president Kathleen Connor in expressing the remorse that she and her colleagues felt about having to make the move.
City solicitor Atty. Frank Ruggiero advised that council amend the existing ordinance based upon the standing interpretation of state law. He said that interpretation has been established by decisions made over the past few years by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, in what he sarcastically called the court's "infinite wisdom."
"It's not my interpretation, but the law is very clear," Ruggiero related. "I don't agree with the law any more than anyone else up here does, and I don't think that most of the public agrees with it either. But it is what it is."
He noted that there are municipalities which have ordinances similar to Carbondale's existing law on their books — but none of them have been challenged in court as of yet. He argued that once a lawsuit is filed against any one or more of those municipalities, their ordinances will be overturned by the courts and have to be changed — with the municipalities left to pay court costs as well as any damages awarded to the plaintiffs.
In the case of Carbondale, city officials were spurred to action by former resident Leo Conway, who threatened a civil rights lawsuit against the city.
Mr. Conway addressed the council members at their August meeting about his son, Patrick Conway, a registered sex offender. Mr. Conway complained that he and his son were removed from the residence they shared on Brooklyn St. last year because the building is located across from White Bridge Playground and near the Carbondale Area elementary and high schools. Consequently, they were forced to leave town and ended up moving to Archbald.
The eviction was prompted by Mayor Justin Taylor's discovery of Patrick Conway on the Megan's Law Registry for being convicted in 2009 of unlawful contact or communication with a minor.
"We were very happy here," Leo Conway recounted in his presentation to council. "But then the mayor told me, 'Pat has to go!' That was it."
Mr. Conway, a retired magistrate, acknowledged that his son "did wrong" but insisted "he wouldn't hurt anybody." He complained that his son's constitutional rights were violated and his family was disparaged in the process of being evicted from their Carbondale residence. He also stated that if the city's ordinance was not revised, he would file a civil rights lawsuit against the city, arguing that case law "is on our side."
Thus, council approved the amendment to the ordinance last week, which would allow Patrick Conway and all other sex offenders deemed "non-violent" to reside in the city without restriction.
As with the council members and city solicitor, Mayor Taylor told the NEWS that the change is a necessary one to avoid a costly lawsuit that the city would in all likelihood lose.
"It's been said that criminals have more rights than victims in a lot of cases, and we certainly see that here," he explained. "There are times when public service can be quite frustrating, when doing the right thing really isn't doing the right thing, and this is one of those times."
"I wish we had a way around it, some loophole we could use to avoid doing this, but unfortunately we don't," he offered. "Until or unless things are changed at the state level, we have to abide by that."
The revised ordinance goes into effect 30 days from Oct. 21, when it was enacted by council.

New data released Wednesday showed U.S. productivity growth was the worst since the recession. And that's not entirely bad news.
The data came from the Labor Department, in the form of the multifactor productivity series. Unlike the quarterly productivity data that comes out, this report attempts to include the impact of capital — new machines, for instance.
On this measure, productivity grew just 0.3% in 2013. That's the worst showing since the 0.3% decline in 2009.
The main reason it was so weak was that companies were adding workers — but those workers didn't immediately translate into additional output. That's to be expected after companies relied on shrunken workforces after the recession. The 1.5% growth in labor hours compares to the average annual fall of 0.6% between 2007 and 2013.
There's also evidence of corporate underinvestment in capital. Though "capital services" input grew 1.9% — the best showing since 2008 — it's still far from the pre-recession levels that were consistently above 3%.
On the flip side, there's also something to the argument, most closely associated with Northwestern professor Robert Gordon, that technology just isn't boosting productivity the way it used to. The heyday of productivity growth occurred during the Internet revolution between 1995 and 2000, when total output was growing at an average annual rate of 5.1% per year — compared to the lowly 2.3% last year.
The data are consistent with a U.S. economy emerging from the recession but nowhere near its prerecession rate of growth. For standards of living to rise, productivity growth will have to accelerate.

CHAPEL HILL – Former North Carolina basketball standout and current Tar Heel Sports Network analyst Eric Montross says UNC has to bring its A game Friday night, just as it did down the stretch in ACC play and in the conference tournament.
"For sure, it needs to be the team that really played for the latter half of the ACC, and that would obviously include the lineup with Hairston," Montross says. "Since that time, they really have started to play much better. We've seen so much growth out of Marcus Paige."
In 14 meetings with Villanova, North Carolina has dominated the series 10-4. This Wildcat team was 10-8 in the Big East and saw three big wins against Syracuse, Georgetown, and the tournament's overall No. 1 seed, Louisville.
Montross says it's important for UNC not to look ahead to the Kansas game, but to keep with the Tar Heel mentality of one game at a time.
"Villanova has two sophomores and a freshman in their starting lineup," Montross says. "That's going to make a big impact for them. They are consistent, but they also have the ability to be inconsistent in a positive way."
For the full interview, tune in to WCHL's Countdown to Tipoff presented by Harrington Bank Friday at 5:00 p.m. Ron Stutts will take you up to 6:00 p.m. when Learfield Sports will get you ready for the contest between North Carolina and Villanova.

2010 Toyota 4Runner ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Sturdy off-roader is all-new with more power, better fuel economy.
The Toyota 4Runner is all-new for 2010. This multipurpose midsize SUV combines rugged body-on-frame construction with true all-terrain capability. The 2010 4Runner is intended to be a tough and reliable platform for the more adventurous SUV owner, adding advanced four-wheeling equipment that was previously unavailable.
The 2010 Toyota 4Runner comes in three distinct models, each with specialized equipment packages, to suit a variety of luxury, recreational capability, and affordability priorities. All are sturdily built, with an extensive suite of safety features, flexible seating, and multiple cargo options. The interior design is based on the concept of multi-purpose use, with improved cargo volume, back-row legroom and enhanced storage for 2010.
The all-new 2010 4Runner has more horsepower than ever before, and gets better mileage. The 2010 4Runner engine lineup consists of a standard 4.0-liter V6 and an optional 2.7-liter four-cylinder. The prior 4.7-liter V8 is no longer offered, but the 2010 4Runner is still more energetic than any of the previous editions, thanks to improvements made to the V6. The 2.7-liter four-cylinder is available for 2WD SR5 models only.
The 4Runner has good on-road dynamics with rack-and-pinion steering and well-proportioned disc brakes. It may be as nimble as the lighter-duty Highlander crossover, but it's far more capable and much more durable for use on rough terrain. Compared to the FJ Cruiser, the 4Runner is more versatile and more passenger-friendly, and nearly as capable off-road. The 4Runner seats up to seven people or can haul a lot of cargo. The 4Runner is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds, enough for light boats, ATVs and snowmobiles.
The 2010 Toyota 4Runner is available in 2WD or 4WD and in three distinct models, SR5, top-of-the-line Limited, and Trail Edition. A full-time multi-mode 4WD system is available with the Limited; a part-time system is standard on SR5 and Trail Edition.
Two-row or three-row seating configurations are available, for five or seven passengers.
The 4.0-liter V6 mated to a five-speed automatic is standard across the range. A lower-cost 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine is available on 4x2 SR5 models.
The 2010 4Runner is lightly larger overall than the prior generation, but with the same wheelbase. Because the A-pillar has been moved forward slightly, the new 4Runner has a slightly more upright appearance. Still, the exterior is sleek enough to allow for a reduction in the coefficient of drag to 0.365 Cd.
There are three distinct appearance packages for the 2010 4Runner, matched to the model. All share a boxy form with a wide stance, with wide fenders to suggest muscularity. The wheelwells are squared off and generously sized for larger tires, like the FJ Cruiser. New bumpers add a sense of heft. Roof rails are standard on all models, emphasizing the 4Runner's potential as a recreational gear transporter.
Improved-performance projection-beam head- and tail lamps lend a technical appearance, distinguished by unusually conspicuous lens bulges. The effect is contemporary, advanced, and yet in keeping with 4Runner's five-generation tradition of body-on-frame construction.
The Trail Edition is styled to project rugged good looks, a sense of mystery, and a sporting nature. It has a sporty hood scoop, blacked-out mirrors and bumpers, and a dark smoke treatment on the head and tail lamps.
Both the Trail Edition and SR5 have similarly styled overfenders and mud guards, and both have 17-inch alloy wheels as standard equipment, although each grade has its own distinctive wheel. On the SR5, there is greater use of chrome accents, and the roof rack is silver with black end caps. Heated exterior mirrors have turn signal indicators and puddle lamps.
The Limited comes on lower-profile P245/60 tires mounted on 20-inch alloy wheels. All models come with a full-size spare, and the Limited has a matching alloy spare. Like the SR5 and Trail Edition, the Limited has a rear spoiler that houses the rear wiper, keeping it tucked away when not in use.
The 4Runner interior has been upgraded with an eye toward practicality, comfort, and utility. There is more rear headroom, more shoulder room, more hip room and quite a bit more leg room for third row passengers.
The cabin uses large dials and bright instrumentation. The standard three-gauge cluster combines orange-numeral speedometer and tachometer with temperature and fuel meters; on Trail and Limited, white-numeral Optitron gauges are used. All grades share an accessory meter that displays time, average fuel consumption, range, compass direction, and outside temperature.
An automatic dual-zone climate controlled AC system is standard on the Limited; SR5 and Trail Edition have manual climate control.
Wood-grained trim has been deleted in favor of textured materials with silver trim accents, creating a more modern, high-tech environment. A larger armrest has been created in the doors by moving the power window and door controls higher, to the top of the door.
Three 12-volt outlets are located in the glove box, the center console sack, and the cargo area. Optional 120-volt AC outlets, useful for charging batteries or running appliances at the campsite, are located in the center console box and cargo area.
On the Trail Edition, there is an overhead panel with two dials that house the Crawl Control and Multi-Terrain Select System. The Trail Edition also gets water-resistant seat fabric in a charcoal gray color.
The front seats are comfortable and supportive, with a longer slide for greater adjustability. The standard SR5 cloth seat adjusts six ways manually; Trail and Limited models get eight-way power adjustments. Limited also offers flawless leather, heated seats. Active headrests are standard for all front seats.
Second-row seats fold completely flat to maximize interior cargo area. With everything folded flat, cargo volume is just short of 90 cubic feet, or 88.8 cubic feet on models with third-row seating.
Third-row seating has been improved to make the seats more functional on an everyday basis. First, the seats are larger and better padded. Second, access has been made easier by splitting the second row seats into a 40/20/40 configuration, so it's possible to enter the third row from either side using a one-touch walk-in feature. And last, legroom has been increased by 5.2 inches.
The rear hatch has a power window that can be controlled from an interior switch, or at the rear door using the key. By lowering the window, efficient flow-through ventilation becomes possible. Not many vehicles have this feature these days.
There are three audio systems available, all of which are compatible with MP3 and WMA files via an AUX jack in the center console. The mid-grade system includes satellite radio and antenna, and Bluetooth connectivity. An iPod USB port in the glove box allows for controlling an iPod through the steering wheel and audio head unit switches. Both systems have eight speakers. The premium audio setup is a 15-speaker JBL system that can be integrated with the Toyota navigation system, now in its sixth generation. The newest Navi system has improved voice command with simpler voice menus and recognizes commands in English, French and Spanish.
Driving Impression
We drove the 4Runner in the rain in Solvang, California, area, on hilly rural two-lane roadways past vineyards, horse pastures and cattle ranches. It rained not hard, but steadily, during our driving. We got to use the wipers, test the brakes in the wet, and steer through corners with sand and gravel in the roadway. During our testing, we had a chance to drive both the Limited and the Trail Edition.
It's in bad weather that the full-time 4WD system standard in the Limited really shines. It's designed to shift torque between wheels as the vehicle rolls over inconsistent surfaces, so it's ideal for use on roads with slippery patches or wet spots. We found the Limited 4Runner tracked cleanly and accurately through corners and over compromised surfaces.
The brake system feels strong and progressive at the top of the pedal, and even in the rain, lends itself to a secure, confident feeling. The front discs have four-piston fixed calipers and 13.3-inch brake rotors. They are augmented with four-sensor, four-channel ABS and skid control systems.
The 2010 4Runner has more power than any previous 4Runner, and that includes the previous generation with the optional V8. The new V6 puts out 10 more horsepower than the old V8, and has noticeably more snap, revving quicker and with more urgency. Full-throttle acceleration is quite brisk for a seven-passenger, family SUV. From a standing start, the V6 4Runner will hit 60 mph in about 8.6 seconds, and feels good doing it. The full-time 4WD system hunts a little from a standing start, so a small amount of torque initially tugs at the steering wheel, but steers true after a quick chirp off the line. High-speed passes are similarly exuberant. Pin the throttle pedal and the transmission with kick down two gears and rev to 5500 rpm, making it easy to swoop by lines of traffic and accelerate up steep grades. Decide to pass and the next thing you know, the speedometer says 90 mph. Shifts are smooth and progressive, without much lash or thump, even at full throttle. Driven normally, the V6 will deliver decent mileage for a 4800-pound SUV. The fuel consumption readout said we had gotten 20.3 mpg after a day of mostly highway driving.
The steering wheel is thick, with a technical four-spoke design. Steering effort seems about right, neither too firm or too light. The engineering involves a variable flow, power-assisted rack-and-pinion arrangement that uses a variable gear-ratio steering rack. So not only does the hydraulic assist adjust based on conditions, but the rack itself is has a different tooth arrangement at the ends of the rack. The result is reasonably precise steering that is strong and easy at all speeds, even at full lock. It's not what you'd want for a sports car, but for an off-road-going, seven-passenger SUV, it's right.
The seats are easily wide enough for our average-size body, with low bolsters on the seat cushion and taller side bolstering on the seat back. We found they provide cornering support on winding roads, without making the driver's seat hard to get into. The leather seating material on our Limited was conspicuously fragrant, and remarkably free of blemishes or imperfections.
With 20-inch wheels and lower-profile tires, the Limited looks more sophisticated and likes corners better than the other models. But on these lumpy roads, the stiffer wheel/tire combination was a factor in choppy ride quality, especially noticeable when we spent some time in the back seat. The Limited has a diagonally cross-linked shock absorber system that helps damp out pitch and roll, and it works to limit body roll. But sharper impacts do come through when the vehicle is on flat surfaces.
We found the Trail Edition rides about as well as the Limited because of its more compliant suspension and taller tire sidewall, and it transitions through corners only slightly less cleanly. That's because the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS) anti-swaybar disconnect capability allows for thicker stabilizer bars on the Trail Edition. Therefore, on-road cornering power can be preserved without compromising off-road suspension compliance. The Trail Edition, with the thicker bars, did feel a little a little more jittery at speed on the highway, but soaked up larger impacts best of all. The Limited, more stylish and better handling, runs along smoothly until larger impacts come into play.
We tried the retractable rear tailgate window, which is a feature not seen much on SUVs these days. By opening the vents in the front, and cracking the rear window, a real breeze can be allowed to flow from front to rear. On a nice day, it might be the best ventilation system of any SUV, as airflow is maximized and wind noise is minimal, much less than from a sunroof. Smokers love it, and it can be handy when hauling smelly cargo.
We also drove a 4Runner Trail Edition off road. The Trail Edition is the 4Runner for those who plan to use the vehicle for recreation. Almost like an FJ Cruiser with four doors, the Trail Edition is set up to cruise to a trailhead, confidently drive on the trail itself, and return to the highway. That makes its capabilities and packaging advantages ideal for those who camp, hunt, fish or regularly travel backcountry roads. It can ford up to 27 inches of water and has 9.6 inches of ground clearance. Skid plates are included for the engine, transfer case and fuel tank. Two tow hooks are mounted on the front although in a low position that might make them hard to reach if stuck in a stream or snow bank. A rear receiver hitch is standard, for towing up to 5000 pounds, and its presence makes for easy vehicle recovery from the rear.
We found the manual part-time transfer case easy to operate. There is a stubby lever that actuates 4WD High Range and 4WD Low Range. Sometimes lever-actuated part-time systems can be balky, but on our Trail Edition we were able to slip in and our of 4-Low without any dithering.
The Trail Edition's part-time system is shared with the SR5, but the Limited gets a dial-actuated full-time system that is always on, in case of changing road conditions or inclement weather. The Limited is better for ice and wintry conditions when grip is inconsistent.
The Trail Edition trades surprisingly little for the advantages it offers. Ride quality is about as good as the other versions, and steering and cornering are only slightly less crisp. Tire noise is only slightly increased, at least inside the cabin. Meanwhile, traction is markedly improved by the addition of an electronic locking rear differential, the KDSS system, and traction control systems with adjustable rates of feedback. One system, Crawl Control, allows the driver to dial in speeds from 1 to 3 mph as the driver concentrates on steering across difficult terrain. We tried it, uphill and down, and sure enough, the system controls throttle and braking to maintain a steady speed. When that speed seemed to be too rapid for the suspension to handle comfortably, we adjusted the dial to give us a slower pace. At 1 mph, progress is very slow, safe and predictable. Another system, multi-terrain select, allows for dialing in the rate of wheelslip when driving off-road. As a result, the Active Traction Control (A-TRAC) system can be just as effective in mud or sand as it is on rock. When even more traction is called for, an electronic locker in the rear axle actuates with the push of a button. KDSS is optional, but an excellent off-road suspension enhancement. It was formerly only available on the Land Cruiser, but now can be had in the 4Runner.
We have not had a chance to test the 4Runner SR5 2WD with the four-cylinder 2.7-liter engine. We would expect to find that the primary advantage of the 2.7-liter engine would be low initial cost. Combined with a four-speed automatic transmission, the 2.7-liter is rated 1 mpg better than the 4.0 V6, and costs as much as $12,300 less. It would make a sturdy and utilitarian wagon, but since it does not offer the all-terrain capability of the 4WD models, it would be logical to cross-shop the Toyota Highlander. Still, at $12,300 less than the Limited 4x4, the price advantage for the 2.7-liter SR5 is clear.
The Toyota 4Runner can hold up to outdoor recreational use that would prove destructive to car-based crossover SUVs. Given that capability, the 4Runner stands out as a truly multipurpose vehicle with authentic, structurally based recreational capability. With three different formats to choose from, and a variety of specialized equipment, the 4Runner can be configured for a wide range of needs and budgets.
John Stewart filed this report to NewCarTestDrive.com after his test drive of the Toyota 4Runner near Solvang, California.

Dear Produce Manager,
If you want to sell more orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, craft your labels with "yams" in parentheses, like this:
Sweet potatoes ("yams")
Because you are a produce manager, you undoubtedly know that a yam is a completely unrelated thing, so using quotation marks will indicate to ignorant shoppers that you are not actually selling yams. As you also surely know, "yam" is regional slang used by some (generally older folks) to refer to a sweet potato that has orange flesh. But if you only have "yams" on label, some shoppers might get flustered and leave for another store that labels sweet potatoes as "sweet potatoes." Still others are looking for a specific variety of orange-fleshed sweet potato (Beauregard, Jewel, etc.), so list that, too. E.g.,
'Beauregard' sweet potatoes ("yams")
That's a lot of text, but different varieties are good for different recipes, and some of your customers are over-educated foodies who care deeply about such details. Ideally, cut one in half and cover in plastic wrap to convince skeptical shoppers that it does, indeed, have orange flesh.

A decade ago, Hasbro's G.I. Joe action figures were enshrined in the National Toy Hall of Fame in Rochester, New York. I can guarantee, after seeing G.I. Joe: Retaliation, that nothing similar will happen to the current movie franchise. No fame in this game.
Yes, yes, I know that the first movie -- Stephen Sommers' G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra in 2009 -- was more fun to watch than most of the crap that you find in this, the military arm of the B-movie action genre.
Yes, yes, I acknowledge that the sequel is superior on a technical level, because more money was obviously spent on special effects and action sequences.
Yes, yes, it is always a treat to see Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson strut his stuff, in this case as the Joe nicknamed Roadblock.
But G.I. Joe: Retaliation is just obnoxiously loud, over-plotted, idiotic and tiresome most of the time. Except for one spectacular mountaintop sequence: this balletic aerial battle scene finally gives ninjas something new to do. Of course, this action eye candy has little to do with the rest of the movie, aside from getting Storm Shadow relocated from Asia to the U.S.
Retaliation was directed by American filmmaker Jon M. Chu, who helmed two Step Up sequels. His G.I. Joe movie was more challenging. The planned 2012 release was pushed to 2013 to convert Retaliation from 2D to 3D. There were also rumours of reshoots (denied by Chu). Meanwhile, G.I. Joe fans have endlessly speculated on the fate of Channing Tatum's character, Duke.
The Retaliation screenplay comes from the Zombieland team, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. It is disappointing these guys did not hardwire their Joe flick with more of the cynical sarcasm that makes Zombieland so engaging.
As it stands, Retaliation is generic. So much so that the central story device -- the Joes are set up for extermination and alienated from America by a devious Cobra plot involving the U.S. president -- feels like a rerun of other action movies.
Ditto for the action sequences, which look like updates from Roger Moore's Bond movies. There is even a former Bond villain, albeit from Pierce Brosnan's Tomorrow Never Dies. Welshman Jonathan Pryce, the evil media mogul who defied 007, plays the U.S. president and his doppelganger in Retaliation.
The acting is as generic as the plot. Led by Johnson with a cameo from Tatum, the ensemble includes Byung-hun Lee, Adrianne Palicki, Elodie Yung, D.J. Cotrona, Ray Stevenson, Ray Park, Luke Bracey as Cobra Commander and a squinty-eyed Bruce Willis as the gun-happy guest star.
If G.I. Joe is going to thrive as a franchise, the producers need to energize future movies with some new ideas. Otherwise, boys will just go back to playing with their Hasbro toys.

So, Ed Weeks isn't fat like Dr. Jeremy Reed, his character on "The Mindy Project."
The formerly fit doctor has been stress eating this season, the result of his running the practice at Shulman's Women's Health Associates when Dr. Mindy Lahiri (Mindy Kaling) took off for Haiti with her former beau.
"The gut actually is a onesie. It's a onesie fat suit," he told me during an Oct. 2 stop at RedEye. "It's very padded; it's very hot—not in a sexy way but in a warm way. And I've got a padded ass, which is pretty interesting, for the first time."
Although he's developed a taste for Goldfish (the crackers) and Cheez-Its, Weeks doesn't shove sweets down his yapper quite like his character does. He declined to take me on in a stress-eating race involving 50 Munchkins from Dunkin' Donuts.
He's got to stay fit and handsome (my words, not his) because later in the season, Weeks said, Jeremy will shed those extra pounds.
"He goes away to fat camp and comes back, according to the stage directions, skinny and handsome—their words, not mine," he said. "But now of course his problem is trying to keep on the wagon. Now he's addicted to food."
In the video above, Weeks teases a Christmas party episode in which Jeremy is constantly tempted by treats, talks more about the fat suit and how Jeremy keeps getting dumped on at work.
And yes, he does taste a doughnut hole. Watch more from this interview here.

Riverfest 2009 Bullhead City
This Past weekend stood witness to all the fun and excitement of the 2009 RiverFest. With a wakeboarding event that brought out some of the best wakeskaters from around the world and some of the best wakeboards on the left coast. Big cash prizes and a brand new pair of rims for the winner brought 15 riders out to Bullhead, Arizona too compete in the pro division. Some of the names consisted of Randal Harris, Jacob Valdez, Jeff Weatherall, Ricky G., and more talented riders.
With extreme winds, sandstorms, 10mph river current the riders were off. The boat wake was suffering from the extreme conditions making riders ride smart and cautious as the wake would sometimes just flatten out. Jeff Weatherall was able to put together a great run edging out Jacob Valdez for first place. The riders all went out there and just had fun in the insane conditions and gave the crowd a show.
The winch rail jam also took place Sunday afternoon. Because of winch problems and problems with the local authorities not allowing a jetski to pull riders 50ft from shore the winch jam did not take place. The guys still got some hits in on the 60ft a-frame that was built for the contest. Being the first year of the event a lot of bugs had to be worked out. Next year is promised to be even bigger and more planned out. The crowd still had a great time watching the riders hit the rails and go big behind the boat.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - An appeals court has revived a lawsuit by the former wife of Steven A. Cohen, founder of hedge fund SAC Capital Advisors, who accused the billionaire of hiding $5.5 million from her during proceedings that led to their 1990 divorce.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York said a lower court had erred in dismissing fraud-based claims by Patricia Cohen, who had sued her ex-husband in 2009.
The appeals court also revived claims of racketeering and breach of fiduciary duty, while upholding the dismissal of an unjust enrichment claim.
"I'm delighted," Howard Foster, a lawyer for Patricia Cohen, said on Wednesday. "It looks like the court agreed with us on all the major issues."
Writing for a three-judge panel, Circuit Judge Pierre Leval said Patricia Cohen had made a "plausible" allegation that Steven Cohen had concealed the $5.5 million during negotiations on a separation agreement in 1989, which preceded the divorce.
He noted that the court's decision did not address whether Patricia Cohen's fraud claims had merit.
"This is a procedural ruling and not a ruling on the merits," said Jonathan Gasthalter, a spokesman for SAC Capital Advisors. "As we have said from the outset, these decades-old allegations by Mr. Cohen's former spouse were patently false and entirely without merit. We will continue to defend against them vigorously."
The revival of the lawsuit comes amid mounting pressure on Steven Cohen over an insider trading investigation that led to last Friday's arrest of Michael Steinberg, one of Cohen's closest confidantes at SAC Capital.
Steinberg pleaded not guilty to charges of securities fraud and conspiracy over alleged insider trading in computer company Dell Inc and chipmaker Nvidia Corp. The charges made him the ninth person implicated or charged with insider trading while working at Cohen's $15 billion hedge fund.
Also in March, SAC affiliates reached two civil insider trading settlements totaling nearly $616 million with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
One of the civil settlements has won court approval. SAC neither admitted nor denied wrongdoing in either case. Steven Cohen has not been accused of wrongdoing.
The divorce case revolved around a $9 million real estate deal that Steven Cohen had pursued through an entity called SAC Trading Corp.
Patricia Cohen alleged that her ex-husband had invested the money to buy New York City real estate in early 1986, only to be told later that year by Steven and his brother, co-defendant Donald Cohen, that the money was lost.
In fact, she said $5.5 million of the money had been returned to her ex-husband by January 2007, and he eventually claimed to have written off the entire investment.
She said this eventually caused him to value his net worth, as of 1989, at less than $8.2 million.
Wednesday's decision overturned a March 2011 dismissal of Patricia Cohen's case by U.S. District Judge Richard Holwell, who has since gone into private practice.
Holwell had ruled that Patricia Cohen failed to show that her former husband misled her about the $5.5 million or that he was involved in civil racketeering. He also said Patricia Cohen waited too long to bring her claims.
But the appeals court found that Patricia Cohen did not wait too long, in part because she claimed to have learned about the $5.5 million payment in a chance discovery in 2008.
It also said Holwell ruled correctly in dismissing an unjust enrichment claim brought by Patricia Cohen. The 2nd Circuit returned the case to Manhattan federal court for further proceedings before a different judge.
In court papers, Patricia Cohen had accused Steven Cohen of launching SAC Capital in 1992 in part with proceeds from an alleged illegal insider trading tip in 1986 about General Electric Co's acquisition of RCA.
Steven Cohen had been a top trader at Gruntal & Co at the time, and according to a deposition transcript during an SEC probe repeatedly asserted his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
The SEC ended the investigation without filing charges against Cohen. Patricia Cohen's allegations over the divorce do not address recent probes involving SAC.
The case is Cohen v. Cohen et al, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 11-1390.

Starting today, some homeowners who are "under water" with their mortgages can refinance under the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP), but the BBB is warning consumers that banks and mortgage companies aren't the only ones gearing up for the rush of applications. Whenever there is a new or updated government program that may be confusing, scammers come out of the woodwork! There are already hundreds of websites claiming to be able to help homeowners through the HARP process, but many of them are scams.

Federer crushes Murray in 2010 Aussie Final; why don't I like it?
February 1, 2010 in Tennis by pacejmiller
It was just another day at the office for Swiss maestro Roger Federer, who annihilated a game Andy Murray at the 2010 Australian Open Final in three sets, 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (13-11). With the victory, Federer extended his Grand Slams record to 16, which is unprecedented in the history of men's tennis.
Is there any doubt now that Federer, with two more Grand Slam titles than his nearest rival (Pete Sampras with 14) with many more competitive years left in his career, and having completed the career Grand Slam last year by capturing the elusive Roland Garros title, is the greatest of all time? The one and only argument against him is his record against Rafael Nadal (ie if Federer isn't even the best player of his era, then how can he be the greatest of all time?). I don't buy that for more than half a second. If you still don't believe it then you should check out this article (written before Federer won the 2010 Aussie). Unless a guy comes along and starts smashing 230km serves with his dick, I'm always going to argue that the Fed Express is the GOAT.
But enough suction on Roger Federer for now. I feel gutted for Andy Murray. I don't even like the guy that much, and I was hoping he would win. It took me a while before I realised what that meant: I don't like Federer anymore.
This is beyond strange. For years I have supported Roger Federer and cheered him on in every tournament. It was great watching his effortless play as he waltzed on towards history. Even when he went up against players I liked more (like Michael Chang…just kidding), there was a part of me that still felt good when Federer won.
When Nadal came onto the scene and beat the crap out of Federer, I felt sorry for him and wanted him to win more than ever. When Djokovic and Murray started beating him too, the same feeling rushed over me. And that sobbing exhibition after losing the 2009 Aussie Open broke everyone's heart (including mine and except Nadal's).
However, somewhere between winning that 2009 French Open title to tie Sampras' 14 slams and breaking the record at the 2009 Wimbledon, Federer started to lose his charm. To me, anyway. The hair flick after every point that used to be cool suddenly turned dicky. His pre-match and post-match comments, which I used to classify as 'confident but honest, proud but humble', suddenly became 'smug, arrogant and annoying'.
Almost overnight, I wanted other guys to beat him. Murray, Djokovic, Roddick. Either of the Williams sisters. Anyone that may play against him, really. And when Del Potro finally did it in the 2009 US Open Final against all odds, it was the first time I didn't feel bad for Federer. And yesterday, when Federer disposed of Murray in convincing fashion, it actually irritated me.
What could this possibly mean? Has Federer become too dominant, too successful for his own good? Is this bad for men's tennis? Does he need a Tiger Woods-style incident to bring him back to Earth? (And let's face it, there's a pretty decent chance of that happening)
Please explain.

Starting the company was totally an accident. We made ourselves a cornhole set for a Fourth of July party we were having; we just sewed up the bags using a machine we already had for making boat covers (another business we have). Then out of nowhere, everyone was asking for us to make them a set, and the rest is history!
The biggest challenge really is keeping up with the demand. Our daughter Angel is the one that really keeps us going. In the beginning, we did not know how to be efficient and produce bags fast, but now we have everything down pat and can produce a quality product in a timely manner.
I wish we had known the ins and outs of the Internet business from the beginning. It took a while to get the website how it is today.
Most things people buy, they have to buy. It's no fun buying a washer, dryer, paint for your home, flooring, car repairs, groceries, etc. But when people come in to buy a cornhole set, they are so excited to order it, design it and most of all play on it! I am overjoyed each day that I see how happy my customers are with their purchase.
The weirdest boards we did had pirate symbols, skulls, drippy blood, knives, etc. It was kind of dark for sure.
Each time we have been a part of the Houseboat Expo, it's been wonderful. The Houseboat staff is a pleasure to work with and the clientele at the Expo is fabulous. The first one we did was by far the best, but we have been pleased each year. We certainly enjoy the opportunity to run the tournament, and we know this adds a lot of fun to the Expo experience!

An evening spent playing bridge with other couples was always fun for Rita, but one time it became a nightmare. Dealing the cards, first her hands began to tremble, and then her body shook uncontrollably. Terrified, she ran to the bathroom where she fell to the floor crying. She didn't understand what was happening to her, so she told her husband she was ill and needed to go home.
That episode was the beginning of what Rita would endure for the next 15 years. Her doctor diagnosed low blood pressure, but she knew that wasn't her problem. She thought it a nervous breakdown or something worse. As time went on, the symptoms continued, but the cause remained elusive.
Rita had two young children, and she worried how she could be a good mother. She was afraid to tell anyone about her symptoms and fears, including her husband and her doctor because she was afraid of being committed to a mental hospital or losing her children. Rita decided on silence, covering up her symptoms and trying to avoid situations that triggered them. She couldn't shop for groceries, go to the bank, or run an errand without the fear of terrifying symptoms.
Attending her daughter's dance performances or her son's bowling league made her tremble. She worried about her urge to flee, making a fool of herself, and having her kids think badly of her. These feelings would return thousands of times over the next 15 years, but she mustered fierce determination to stay put. It was exhausting, but no one else seemed to notice.
One day Rita read a newspaper article describing the symptoms of panic disorder and agoraphobia. At that moment she discovered she wasn't crazy or weak, that her condition wasn't her fault, and she wasn't alone in her suffering.
She was thrilled to learn that her symptoms had names and that she could get help. But now she would have to end her silence. How would her husband, her children, and her friends react? What would therapy be like, and what would it take for her to live without fear? But after so many years, the thought of being free of her symptoms was intoxicating.
When she told her husband, he was shocked. He'd never seen the person who was terrified to be out in the world. Agoraphobia was unknown to many medical professionals in the 1980s, and her doctor asked, "What is a panic disorder?" He advised her to take a vacation and rest. Still afraid, she made an appointment with a therapist, who over five years helped her learn to overcome her fears and symptoms and become free from the fear of having a panic attack.
In recovery Rita started a support group for people with anxiety disorders, and in the decades since, she has spoken to thousands of people, offering assurances that no one is alone and freedom from the fear of panic attacks is possible. She also became a consumer advocate for the Anxiety Disorders Association of America. Thanks to therapy and medication, Rita thinks her experience was a natural path to helping others who live with an anxiety disorder. She wants to help them understand that they can get better.
This story is more than one of successful recovery. It's the story about the most incredible woman I've ever known—my mother, Rita Clark.


text: In the summer of 1864, during the U.S. Civil War (1861-65), Union General William T. Sherman faced off against Confederate generals Joseph E. Johnston and John B. Hood in a series of battles in northern Georgia. Sherman's goal was to destroy the Army of the Tennessee, capture Atlanta and cut off vital Confederate supply lines. While Sherman failed to destroy his enemy, he was able to force the surrender of Atlanta in September 1864,boosting Northern morale and greatly improving President Abraham Lincoln's re-election bid. With Atlantaunder Union control, Sherman embarked on his March to the Sea, which laid waste to the countryside and hastened the Confederacy's defeat.

Photos are better than many words.
We have tons of both. Lots of company, lots of conversation, plenty of music and things to celebrate.
Friday the 13th was our ninth wedding anniversary. Derek, a friend of Paddy´s from his Wasted Youth days right on up through the Fleet Street Wildness, came over with his very nice wife. And then came Peter Blanchette, one of the stalwarts of the Camino Guitars program. And we all went together to the Grand Opening of the Bodegon Castilla de Moratinos, the restaurant built into the bodega hillside by the Milagros family. Superb roast lamb, carmelized leaks fulled with shellfish, Prieto Picudo vino, great company in a great town!
|Moratinos in July, with sunflowers
|Unnamed girly dog
I don´t want to keep her, cute as she is. She hasn´t got a name yet. Her eye is much better. You want a dog?
The dogs are amazing these days, in many ways. So are the cats. So are the pilgs. And so are the summer skies, and the fields. The fields are spangled now with thousands of grinning sunflowers, always a sure sign that our wedding anniversary is near.

Peter plays his archguitar for hours each day, and in the silent wee hours of the night he is recording a new album inside our parish church. Santo Tomas is developing quite a reputation for acoustics for stringed instruments. The last album recorded there, by Duo Sonidos, has won several international classical awards, and recently was featured on the cover of BBC Classical magazine!
Meantime, the walls of the Peaceable overflow with dog-yowls and cat hisses, Bach partitas and Fenian plaints from Ireland.

I recently made my own vertex class, vertexColored, to hold position and color data. I changed from passing a std::vector of glm::vec3 to my VBO, to passing a std::vector of vectorColored. The class is defined like this:
Code ://vertexTypes.h #ifndef VERTEXTYPES_H #define VERTEXTYPES_H #include <glm\glm.hpp> class vertexColored { public: vertexColored(); ~vertexColored(); glm::vec3 vertexPos; glm::vec4 vertexColor; }; #endif // VERTEXTYPES_HAnd I have also brush.h:Code ://vertexTypes.cpp #include "vertexTypes.h" vertexColored::vertexColored() { this->vertexPos = glm::vec3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); this->vertexColor = glm::vec4(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f); } vertexColored::~vertexColored() { }
And inside brush.cpp:Code ://brush.h #ifndef BRUSH_H #define BRUSH_H #include <GL/glew.h> #include <glm/glm.hpp> #include <vector> #include "vertexTypes.h" class brush { public: brush(); ~brush(); void updateVertices(); void render(); void makeBuffers(); //other stuff... private: GLuint vboId, iboId; std::vector<vertexColored> brushVecs; std::vector<GLuint> brushIndices; //other stuff... }; #endif // BRUSH_H
All this renders correctly - I don't detect any problems while the program's running. However, when I close the window (I'm using Qt for windowing), my IDE (Visual Studio 2010) stays in debugging mode for a few seconds. Then a popup shows up, saying:Code :#include "brush.h" brush::brush() { this->size = 2; this->brushVecs.reserve(0); this->brushIndices.reserve(0); } brush::~brush() { glDeleteBuffers(1, &(this->vboId)); glDeleteBuffers(1, &(this->iboId)); } void brush::updateVertices(){ int numPoints = ((2 * this->size) + 1) * ((2 * this->size) + 1); if (this->brushVecs.capacity() < numPoints) { this->brushVecs.reserve(numPoints); } vertexColored baseVertex; this->brushVecs.resize(numPoints, baseVertex); int curX = this->pos.x - this->size; int index = 0; while (curX <= this->pos.x + this->size){ int curZ = this->pos.z - this->size; while (curZ <= this->pos.z + this->size){ this->brushVecs[index].vertexPos = glm::vec3((float)curX, 0.0f, (float)curZ); this->brushVecs[index].vertexColor = glm::vec4(0.0f, 0.7f, 0.5f, 1.0f); index++; curZ++; } curX++; } if (this->brushIndices.capacity() < numPoints) { this->brushIndices.reserve(numPoints); } this->brushIndices.resize(numPoints, 0); index = 0; while (index < numPoints){ this->brushIndices[index] = index; index++; } } void brush::makeBuffers(){ glGenBuffers(1, &(this->vboId)); glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, this->vboId); glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, this->brushVecs.size()*sizeof(vertexColored), &this->brushVecs[0], GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW); glGenBuffers(1, &(this->iboId)); glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, this->iboId); glBufferData(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, this->brushIndices.size()*sizeof(GLuint), &this->brushIndices[0], GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW); } void brush::render(){ glEnable(GL_VERTEX_PROGRAM_POINT_SIZE); glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_FILL); glUseProgram(this->progId); glEnableVertexAttribArray(0); glEnableVertexAttribArray(1); glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, this->iboId); glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, this->vboId); glVertexAttribPointer(0, 3, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(vertexColored), (GLvoid*)0); glVertexAttribPointer(1, 4, GL_FLOAT, GL_FALSE, sizeof(vertexColored), (GLvoid*)sizeof(glm::vec3)); glDrawElements(GL_POINTS, this->getNumPoints(), GL_UNSIGNED_INT, (GLvoid*)0); glDisableVertexAttribArray(1); glDisableVertexAttribArray(0); glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0); glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0); glUseProgram(0); glDisable(GL_VERTEX_PROGRAM_POINT_SIZE); }
The output window contains multiple copies of the same message, all preceded by something like:Windows has triggered a breakpoint in qt_integration_test.exe.
This may be due to a corruption of the heap, which indicates a bug in qt_integration_test.exe or any of the DLLs it has loaded.
This may also be due to the user pressing F12 while qt_integration_test.exe has focus.
The output window may have more diagnostic information.
Or:HEAP[qt_integration_test.exe]: Invalid address specified to RtlFreeHeap( 005F0000, 03CDF180 )
I have no idea why these errors are arising. I googled heap corruption and found it could be a buffer overflow somewhere, but my buffers were fine back when I was passing a plain old vector of glm::vec3's - and I'm pretty sure I set the stride and everything right for my own custom class. And if it is the VBO or IBO overflowing, why didn't I get an error while running the program? Why only after I close it?First-chance exception at 0x76f71bee in qt_integration_test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x07440018.
First-chance exception at 0x76f71bee in qt_integration_test.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x07440018.
HEAP[qt_integration_test.exe]: HEAP: Free Heap block 745f840 modified at 745f854 after it was freed
I tried defining a struct instead of a class in vertexTypes.h and got the same errors. At this point I'm lost. I'm not sure what could possibly be trying to access things in memory after the window closes. Has anyone experienced something similar, or have any idea why this is happening?

Unlocking New Big Data Insights with MySQL
Today the terms "Big Data" and "Internet of Things" draw a lot of attention, but behind the hype there's a simple story. For decades, companies have been making business decisions based on traditional "enterprise data". Beyond that critical data, however, is a potential treasure trove of additional data: weblogs, social media, email, sensors, photographs and much more that can be mined for useful information. More and more organizations are therefore looking to include non-traditional yet potentially very valuable data with their traditional enterprise data in their business intelligence analysis.
As the world's most popular open source database, and the leading open source database for Web-based and Cloud-based applications, MySQL is a key component of numerous big data platforms. This whitepaper explores how you can unlock extremely valuable insights using MySQL with the Hadoop platform.


text: Grover Cleveland (1837-1908), who served as the 22nd and 24th U.S. president, was known as a political reformer. He is the only president to date who served two nonconsecutive terms, and also the only Democratic president to win election during the period of Republican domination of the White House that stretched from Abraham Lincoln's (1809-65) election in 1860 to the end of William Howard Taft's (1857-1930) term in 1913. Cleveland worked as a lawyer and then served as mayor of Buffalo, New York, and governor of New York state before assuming the presidency in 1885. His record in the Oval Office was mixed. Not regarded as an original thinker, Cleveland considered himself a watchdog over Congress rather than an initiator. In his second term, he angered many of his original supporters and seemed overwhelmed by the Panic of 1893 and the depression that followed. He declined to run for a third term.

Family Day Draws a Crowdby Tom Runge • October 30, 2006 Share:
Wabash's Family Day, October 28, 2006, drew a large crowd to campus. In addition to a hot brunch on a cold morning and a campus tour, the program included two very important information sessions for families.
The first session, on Off-Campus Studies, filled the room. David Clapp, director of International Students and Off-Campus Studies, teamed with Rick Warner, professor of history, to discuss the many opportunities available to Wabash students.
The second session's subject was internships and careers. Of course the subject of life after Wabash was near and dear to many parents' hearts! The group again filled the room as they heard from the following:
- Scott Crawford, director of the Schroeder Center for Career Development
- Stephanie Hopkins, assistant director
- Jill Rogers, pre-health professions advisor
- Lu Hamilton '76, alumni career officer
The Little Giant football team delivered a great victory over visiting Wooster and our Little Giant soccer team played well but lost to visiting Oberlin.

He recently hit me up yesterday to share with me that Devi and he are teaming up on a collab project, Free Crush. It's great to hear a couple working together on something. On that note another producer that you all know if you read this blog and his girlfriend are working on a DJ/VJ collab. Yeah get ready for that announcement later in 2011…

Ellen Page says she's much more comfortable and happier now that she's come out as a lesbian.
The "X-Men: Days of Future Past" star sat down for an interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" that was posted on the talker's YouTube channel Wednesday, and the host expressed how proud and happy she was for the actress.
The "Juno" and "Inception" star came out in February during an emotional speech at the LGBT youth conference Time to Thrive.
