Crabtree in sex-assault investigation
San Francisco police have interviewed 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree about allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman after the team's victory last weekend.
The alleged attack occurred at an unnamed hotel early Sunday, hours after the team's victory over the Green Bay Packers.
The incident is being investigated by the Special Victims Unit, whose detectives have interviewed Crabtree with his lawyer present. Crabtree has agreed to make himself available for possible further interviews.
The 25-year-old player - who has not been detained or arrested - is expected to play in Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Atlanta Falcons.
General manager Trent Baalke said the team is aware of the allegations.
"The 49ers take such matters very seriously," he said in a statement. "We will have no further comment at this time as the legal process is ongoing."
The 49ers selected Crabtree with the 10th overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft. In the NFC divisional playoff game against the Packers, he had nine receptions for 119 yards and two touchdowns.

Richard Hodes, M.D. National Institute on Aging
View Article as PDF
During the next 25 years, the number of Americans living to age 65 is expected to double to about 72 million. Many people thrive as they age, but others experience cognitive decline wrought by Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Today, as many as 5.1 million Americans may have Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia. Unless we can cure or prevent it, Alzheimer's prevalence may triple by 2050.
These dire projections lend urgency to research into this devastating disease. In the past decade, researchers and clinicians working across diverse disciplines have made important discoveries about the molecular changes that take place in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, identified genetic risk factors, and pointed to lifestyle and environmental factors—such as diet and exercise—that may contribute to the onset and progression of the disorder.
Along with these advances, however, came a humbling appreciation of the complexity of Alzheimer's. More than a century since Alois Alzheimer first described abnormal deposits of beta-amyloid and tau proteins in the brain of a woman with dementia, researchers are still asking if these hallmark plaques and tangles are the causes or the results of the disease process. While it is difficult to predict when we will have the answers, we may gain great insight from large-scale, collaborative studies.
Researchers in government, academia and private industry are joining forces to discover the genetic and environmental risk factors involved in Alzheimer's. One such success story is the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), a partnership launched in 2004 and primarily supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), joined by other NIH institutes and private partners. ADNI scientists are developing imaging and biomarker profiles of the changes that signal the onset of Alzheimer's, sometimes long before symptoms appear.
These new biomarker tools—from brain scans to blood and cerebrospinal fluid tests—will enable us to detect and follow the progression of Alzheimer's during clinical trials. And the scientists' efforts are beginning to show results. In spring 2009, ADNI reported that certain cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers may help us both predict who is at risk of developing the disease and learn how the disease responds to various therapies. These data, involving hundreds of volunteers, are available to qualified researchers worldwide, thus further driving the collaborative nature of the research and strengthening our chances of finding answers quickly. Ultimately, we hope that these technologies will prove useful in everyday clinical practice so that we can implement therapies or preventative measures as soon as possible.
We anticipate that a similar collaborative approach will tell us more about Alzheimer's risk factor genes. Researchers have shown that three genes cause the rare, early-onset form of Alzheimer's that occurs in some families. However, only one of the other 30,000 genes in our DNA is linked to increased risk for the more widespread, late-onset form that commonly occurs after age 65. Scientists are eager to identify additional risk factor genes.
Genome-wide association studies, which use methods that can rapidly test up to a million sites in one person's genes, will help scientists find those elusive genetic variations. Since 2007, several international research groups conducting association studies have identified variants of the SORL1, CLU, PICALM and CR1 genes that may play a role in the risk of late-onset Alzheimer's.
To build the large bank of DNA samples needed for future association studies, the NIA supports the Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Consortium, which collects and analyzes biological samples from tens of thousands of people with and without the disease. The consortium freely shares its data and analyses with others in the research community to help spur advances in our understanding of the genetic mechanisms at work and to help scientists identify new pathways to prevention or treatment.
The past decade is also marked by advances in translational research—applying knowledge gained in the laboratory as quickly as possible to new tests or therapies in a clinical setting. The NIA currently supports 60 grants aimed at identifying and developing effective therapies for the treatment of Alzheimer's. The work is varied, from finding new compounds that will modify beta-amyloid production or clear it from the brain to reformulating existing drugs and naturally occurring compounds used to treat other diseases. These studies allow the NIA to capture new and creative therapeutic approaches and to "seed" promising drug discovery and preclinical development programs.
The success of these and many other efforts relies on another vital partner in Alzheimer's research: the many volunteer research participants, including patients in clinical trials. Both our recent progress and our growing confidence for future advances rely heavily on this generosity of spirit. Collaboration is key to translating discoveries into safe and effective therapies that will benefit us all. For information about volunteering, visit https://www.researchmatch.org.

First up with the daffodils on the 15th March we have Lynne Franks: How Big Data and Intuitive Creativity Combines in Today's Cutting Edge Business Messaging
Lynne is considered one of the founders of modern day PR and communications, has launched WYZE, a new consultancy with one of the world's top data scientists. Using their very different skills sets, they are advising major corporations on engagement and relationship building with consumers, staff and other stake-holders, based on values-led business strategy.
Lynne will share how the WYZE Consultancy is combining teams of behavioural psychologists, story tellers, artists, data analysts, wellbeing experts and community engagement experts to design cutting edge business strategy.
Lynne will also share her new circular leadership system together with her 'Me, We, Us' philosophy, the basis of her new book, The POD (Power on Demand) Effect. Lynne believes that using traditional story telling methods combined with modern technology, is creating awareness of positive change on a personal, community and societal level that resonates on a national and global level.
On April 12th, our second speaker is Mark Drewell: Creating relevant and profitable organisations fit for the 21st Century - insights from a global inquiry into purpose driven business
Mark, MA (Oxon) FRSA, is a global thought and practice leader at the interface between business and society. He is a Senior partner in the Stockholm-based ForeSight Group, he is also the former Chief Executive and Chair of the Globally Responsible Leadership Initiative, a global coalition of 100 companies and business schools developing the next generation of globally responsible business leaders.
Mark spent 20 years in South Africa where for a decade he was the head of Corporate Affairs for Barloworld and has extensive business experience as a change agent and catalyst for responsible business. He lives in the UK and serves on the advisory boards of the Institute For Leadership and Sustainability at the University of Cumbria as well as the Business School of Lausanne in Switzerland and the Wuppertal Institute's climate and renewable energy initiative in Berlin.
Then onto May, specifically the 17th, and just in time for the climax of the football season we have head of the Liverpool Football Club Foundation Andrea Cooper: The power of sport to make a positive contribution to the world
Andrea will share her views on how Liverpool FC and sport more widely can make a positive contribution to communities, and how she is progressing that opportunity in her role as Head of the LFC Foundation.
Andrea joined Liverpool FC Foundation in 2014 bringing a wealth of charity and community experience.
Andrea was brought up in Liverpool and has operated as a trustee on three charities including six years with Street League. Before joining Liverpool FC Foundation, Andrea was Chief Executive of UpRising - a youth leadership development organisation, and has other business and operational experience including work on various major projects at the BBC. Andrea has overall responsibility for all aspects of the Liverpool FC Foundation including the strategic direction, operations and fundraising.
Then finally for this series, and hopefully coinciding with the soaring temperatures (we can all hope!) on the longest day (21st June) we have Erica Martin: International labour standards and the promotion of sustainable global supply chains
Erica is a lawyer specializing in international labour standards. She has worked at the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations agency focused on the world of work, since 2009. Originally from Canada, Erica is currently based at ILO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and her advisory work has taken her all over the world. Her work focuses on the international legal instruments related to child labour, forced labour, labour inspection and occupational safety and health, with a focus on special complaints procedures.
The United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights describe the responsibility of business enterprises to respect internationally recognized human rights, which include at a minimum the principles concerning fundamental rights set out in the International Labour Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
The talk will examine the fundamental principles and rights at work (the eradication of child labour, the elimination of forced labour, equality of opportunity and treatment, and freedom of association), and the tripartite development of international labour standards. It will explore the implications of these standards for business and their role in corporate social responsibility initiatives, as well as the increase of labour clauses in trade agreements and the impact of these provisions on enterprises and workers.
So as you can see, we have a veritable smorgasbord of fascinating speakers for you to enjoy for absolutely no charge whatsoever. All we ask is that you come armed with an inquisitive mind and a bucket-load of questions to get the most from your evening.
All the Open Lectures will take place in the Percival Lecture Theatre on the Ambleside campus, and will begin at approximately 5.30pm each evening.

It is interesting for me to realize Judy was going to camp and you were graduating from U of W in the same year. It all seems like another life! I love the wind blown effect. Mother and Dad were so pleased with what you accomplished, every step of the way.

Mother does have a very joyous expression on her face. Obviously the college graduation of her eldest son (who looks extremely young)was a great moment. And I too, thought the wind swept skirt was reminiscent of a younger mother. And while we are at it: Name that Car!

Happy Reading!
This is the third post on Richard L. Bushman's Mormonism: A Very Short Introduction (OUP, 2008). [See Part 1 and Part 2.] In Chapter Three, Bushman reviews the several meanings of the term "Zion" in LDS doctrine and thinking.
The Pew Forum recently issued a detailed summary of survey information about Mormons gathered as part of a much larger survey of religious life in the United States. It is a very readable summary, noting that Mormons comprise 1.7% of adults in the US; 35% of Mormon adults live in Utah and 13% live in California; Mormons are more likely to be married and more likely to be a college graduate than a member of the general population; and so forth.
July 24th is a state holiday in Utah, designated Pioneer Day. It commemorates the entry of the first wagon train of Mormons into the Salt Lake Valley in the summer of 1847. They came down Emigration Canyon, somewhat north of the present I-80 corridor which comes down Parley's Canyon. Brigham Young was part of that first company to enter the valley. Due to sickness, he was a couple of days behind the lead group of wagons. By the time he entered the valley, crops were already being planted and water diverted for irrigation.

A new hashtag began trending with posts of President Barack Obama with kids, NBC News reported.
#ObamaAndKids started circulating on Twitter after the release of an image from a Black History Month event at the White House this week. The photo shows a young boy standing near a rope line as he gazes up at the president, who touches his cheek.
Thousands of posts began popping up, including from Michelle Obama and the White House.
Entrepreneur Michael Skolnik said it's important to note the impact America's first black president has had on race relations and that "the way the kids — Latino, Native American, black — (have responded) to him" is amazing.

Clark enjoys birthday in Baseballtown
Orioles farmhand turns 29 at Eastern League All-Star Game
By David Driver / Special to MLB.com | July 11, 2012 3:01 PM
But Clark, who has pitched at every level of the O's Minor League system, was 7-4 with a 3.82 ERA in 16 games (15 starts) in the first half of the season for Bowie and was named to the Western Division squad for the Eastern League All-Star Game.
"It is pretty cool anytime you can make an All-Star game," Clark said of the Baseballtown All-Star Classic. "It is nice to be recognized."
The contest took on special meaning for Clark, who turned 29 on Wednesday. He was born in Delaware on July 11, 1983 -- the year the Orioles last won the World Series. He and his wife, Amy, live in New Jersey, and she attended Wednesday's game.
"Everything has been nice. They have taken care of us," Clark said after batting practice.
The right-hander was 2-0 with a 2.38 ERA in two starts for Triple-A Norfolk this season before he was sent back to Bowie. From 2008-10, he saw action each season for Class A Advanced Frederick, Bowie and Norfolk before spending all of last season with the Baysox, going 10-9 with a 5.00 ERA in 24 games.
Does he think he could help the Orioles, if needed?
"If I didn't feel like that, why would I be playing? I feel like I could pitch there," he said. "There is nothing sexy about what I do. I don't miss a lot of bats. I know I have to get a lot of guys out."
Over 94 1/3 innings for Bowie this season, he has struck out 50 batters while walking 29. Clark throws a fastball, changeup, slider and curve.
"I stopped throwing the curve earlier in the year to help develop my slider," he explained. "It is a pitch that can be more consistent. After the first few starts, I gave up on the curve and worked on the slider. Then I brought the curveball back" the past three or four starts before the All-Star break.
Close to home: Being selected to the All-Star Game also took on added meaning for Akron Aeros right-hander Kyle Landis, the Indians' 18th round pick in the 2007 Draft out of the University of Pittsburgh. He missed the entire 2010 season with an upper arm nerve traction injury and is not among Cleveland's top 20 prospects. Landis grew up in Hazleton, about 90 minutes due north of Reading.
"It is pretty neat. It is nice to be back close to where I grew up," he said. "I am happy for the opportunity. It is a great honor. It is really a tribute to my wife and family as much as me, since they have made a lot of sacrifices. I am happy for them they get to see this."
Landis and his wife, Lindsay, both attended Hazelton Area High School, and their parents planned to attend the All-Star Game. Landis is 4-3 with a 3.77 ERA and two saves in 28 games out of the Aeros' bullpen.
Ross Atkins, the Indians' vice president of player development, compared Landis to reliever Joe Smith as a right-on-right hurler.
"That is what he projects in the majors," Atkins said of Landis.
Just happy to be here: Harrisburg Senators left-hander Dan Rosenbaum started on Monday, so he was not slated to pitch Wednesday in Reading. Still, he made the trip to the Baseballtown All-Star Classic.
"I really wanted to be here," he said in the Western Division clubhouse. "It is a privilege to be here."
Rosenbaum was 3-0 with a 0.76 ERA in April and 6-1 through May. He entered the break with a 7-6 record and 3.38 ERA.
"I let it get to me a little bit," he said of his recent struggles. "I had some bad luck. That is baseball."

Ak'chamel's Hexas: Houston, Texas Under a Spell
Ak'chamel, The Giver of Illness hail from Hexas. That's Houston, Texas, under a spell.
Inspired by Sun City Girls, Master Musicians of Bukkake, Hayvanlar Alemi and related strains of psychedelic improv and raw international music, the collective's self-released cassettes would sound right at home on Sublime Frequencies ("Radio Hexas?"). Tune into Old Norse Mara and The Divine Vine Tapes as throat singing and mysterious glossolalia meld with analog percussion, wind instruments, metal strings and chimes to cast a malevolent witch-doctor spell.
Houston may not be the most receptive environment for Ak'chamel's shamanic performances, but they have graced a handful of unconventional venues around town, including a laundromat, a clothing store, and an attic. Formerly known as Chairs, you may encounter Ak'chamel at FMA, Bandcamp, Facebook and beyond.

You know what your partner likes and you don't have to quietly stress about the possibility of getting it all wrong.
And that's great when you're choosing a DVD together, or cooking his favourite meal, but when it comes to getting your sexy on, being able to fast track your communication is not always a good thing. Not only can it make our sex lives something far less than exciting, but we can develop bad habits that are repeated over the years. Instead discover simple ways you can avoid getting in a rut with your partner. Here's how:
For most women, initiating sex is just not something we do – it falls into the Man's Job category, along with checking the oil in the car and mowing the grass. Whether it's because we don't want to come across as too pushy or unladylike, or we're accustomed to being tapped on the shoulder by our ever-keen partner, initiating sex is not something many women do often.
But give it a try – men like to be pursued just as much as women do, so he'll appreciate that you're interested and your advances will make him feel prized.
Sex mistake 2: Over-thinking what you look like – because he isn't!
A body that has born children is a beautiful thing (yes, stretch marks and all) – sure, it isn't the body you probably flaunted when you first met, but neither is his! Being seen naked is a habit we fall out of as we age – between our need for sleep and young children who wake early, intimate acts tend to take place under the covers in the dark of night.
Even if you can't bring yourself to be completely naked, try to relax about the bits your partner will see (and they will only be bits!) Flesh is flesh and if you truly do want to get out of bad habits in the bedroom, you need to be able to relax enough to enjoy it and not worry and the wobbly bits on your legs.
And remember this - men are notoriously unobservant! Remember the haircut you spent a fortune on that he didn't notice for days? How likely is it that he's going to notice that your skin is not quite as tight as it was ten years ago?!
Sex mistake 3: Believing he's always up for sex
Despite what we are led to believe, men's libidos aren't permanently set on GO. Sure, teenage boys are mostly ready and willing anytime, anywhere, anyhow, but grown men are a different story.
The daily pressures of everyday life – work, finances, family pressure - can have a big impact on your man's libido, so there will inevitably be times when he just wants to go to bed to sleep and nothing more.
His lack of desire should not be read less as a personal rejection (yes, he still loves you) and more as a normal fluctuation of libido – after all, how much do you feel like having sex after a big day of kid-wrangling? And you still love your partner, don't you?
Sex mistake 4: Not giving him guidance - he's not a mind-reader!
Many of us don't like to talk directly about sex – but you're unlikely to have a satisfying sexual relationship unless you communicate clearly with your partner. You are not a passive vessel so take responsibility for your own pleasure by telling him what you like (or don't like) and you will go a long way to having a sex life that works for you both. Men usually like to please so a little tactful direction will pay off big dividends in the bedroom next time.
Just be tactful about delivering your message – try not to hurt his feelings, particularly if you are asking him to stop doing something that he has been doing for years, under the assumption that you liked it.
Sex mistake 5: Sticking with the familiar
Familiar is comforting – but it's not very exciting. After years of doing the same things the same way, sex can become more of a ritual than most of us like to admit. Try spicing things up occasionally by doing things slightly differently. And don't wait for your partner to suggest it - you can take the lead here!
And if he suggests doing things differently, don't take it personally. Trying new things in the bedroom doesn't meant that he's unhappy with your sex life (and by extension, you) it merely means that variety is the spice of life!

Vegetables. Everyone knows how important they are to your health. However, getting the recommended "Five A Day" is extremely difficult to do. Vegetables require a lot of "preparation" work: shopping, washing, peeling, chopping and cooking, not to mention the taste factor for some people who don't even like vegetables. It is also difficult to get a variety of vegetables properly prepared when eating out. Fast food restaurants rarely have any vegetables on the menu. What is a busy, health conscious person to do?
Kyo-Green is the obvious choice. It is portable, instantly dissolves in water or juice, is tasty, healthy and requires no peeling, chopping or cooking whatsoever. Just two teaspoons is equal to a full serving of vegetables! The nutrition packed into those two teaspoons is concentrated because of the process and ingredients selected to make Kyo-Green.
Naturally Nutritious and Tasty
Barley and Wheat Grasses are the natural source of multiple nutrients to provide protein, dietary fiber, carotenoids, Vitamins B-6, B-12 and E, folic acid, calcium, iron, chlorophyll and others. These nutrients are known to enhance immune function by stimulating macrophage (killer cell) activities.*
Chlorella is a green algae rich in protein (50% by weight), chlorophyll, calcium, magnesium and other nutrients. It has been shown to support growth and development in children, promote wound healing and assist movement of food through the intestine for better digestion and regularity.
Kelp is a brown seaweed rich in iodine as well as many other minerals and trace minerals indispensable for human health. Studies show kelp supports cardiovascular health, by maintaining healthy blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels.*
Brown Rice contains four times as much dietary fiber as polished rice. It promotes healthy intestinal conditions and regularity by enhancing beneficial bacteria and suppressing bad bacteria.A Strict Manufacturing Process

FRISCO, Texas – A coach would ideally like to have his starting lineup set by the end of the regular season, so he knows just who he'll field to start the playoffs. But it doesn't look like Schellas Hyndman has that luxury for FC Dallas.
The FCD coach's woes begin with defender Heath Pearce, who was a concern even before he missed last weekend's season finale against the LA Galaxy due to yellow card accumulation.
Dallas open their Western Conference semifinal series against Real Salt Lake on Saturday at Pizza Hut Park.
"We're still contemplating what we're going to do with Heath," Hyndman said. "The suspension is something we're concerned about. One of the things we're concerned about is, when we played Real Salt Lake [two weeks ago], they seemed to really overload that side. We're kind of looking to see what may be some options for us."
Brazilian rookie Jackson Gonçalves, however, might not be the best replacement option while he continues to recover from a hamstring injury suffered in the 2-1 loss to LA on Sunday evening. He was on the sidelines during Thursday's training and wearing a brace on his left leg.
[inline_node:316243]Hyndman also has a decision at linking midfielder, where Dax McCarty has returned in recent weeks but has clearly been rusty after missing eight games with a strained right quadriceps muscle.
Rookie Eric Alexander was working with the first team during Thursday's practice and performed well as a fill-in for McCarty during his injury.
Perhaps the biggest decision comes in goal, but it appears like veteran Kevin Hartman is still a question mark ahead of the series opener. Hartman was expected by some to return against LA, but Hyndman said he never had such intentions after Hartman spent more than a month on the shelf with a strained right MCL.
"I feel really excited about being back out there with the guys," Hartman said. "I've been feeling good. I feel prepared."

An island off the coast of the Eastern Kingdoms, Tol Barad is a historic land now sought-after by the leaders of the Horde and the Alliance. Its strategic, isolated location makes it an ideal stronghold from which to conduct military strikes. In World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, a battle will be waged to seize control of this prized territory. Should you triumph, unique rewards await you. Read more about this all-new world PvP and questing zone here.
During the Second War between orcs and humans, Tol Barad served as an island citadel of Stromgarde. Tol Barad was of great use to the Alliance as an isolated port for preparing military strikes... until it was invaded by the Horde and decimated. Years later the nation of Kul Tiras reclaimed Tol Barad, establishing a magical prison over the ruins of the old fortifications to contain enemy magi, demons, and a host of other deadly criminals. The existence of such a prison remains unknown to most citizens of Azeroth. In the wake of the Cataclysm and with tension building between the Horde and the Alliance, this will all change. Tol Barad will once more serve as a strategic location for amassing a deadly armada of vessels to lay siege upon enemy strongholds within the Eastern Kingdoms. Because both the Horde and the Alliance are prepared to pay in blood for control of Tol Barad, it is yet unknown which of the two factions will emerge victorious from the war-torn island.
The Fight for Tol Barad
Similar to Wintergrasp, Tol Barad will serve as an open world PvP zone, although there is also a hub on Tol Barad Peninsula for both factions to complete daily quests. Reachable by portals in Stormwind and Orgrimmar, or via a level-85 mage teleport or portal, Tol Barad will accept up to 80 players per faction to engage in brutal combat across the island's surface. Unlike Wintergrasp, Tol Barad will not have Tenacity buffs. Instead, the queue system will attempt to match each side at a 1-to-1 ratio. Battles will take place every two hours and thirty minutes, giving the offensive faction a chance to claim territory.
Tol Barad will feature capture-point gameplay. There are three keeps and three towers for the defending side to hold. When destroyed by the attackers, each tower will add five minutes to the standard fifteen-minute battle timer. In order to win, though, all three keeps must be captured and controlled by the attackers. If these keeps cannot be taken by the attacking forces, the defending faction will claim victory in Tol Barad. Similar to Eye of the Storm, Tol Barad determines whether a keep has been captured by the number of players from each side in the immediate area. There is, however, a new twist: each time a member of your faction is killed in the immediate vicinity of a keep, a slider bar will move slightly in favor of the opposing faction. So not only does the size of each force in the area determine who controls each keep, but losing allies during the contesting process determines control as well.
In order to destroy the defenders' towers, attackers will have access to an all-new type of war machine: Abandoned Siege Engines. Six of these Siege Engines will be placed around the map, and these vehicles can be used to bombard the towers. In contrast to the Siege Engines of Wintergrasp, these machines cannot attack players or buildings while the vehicles are being driven. Instead, players must drive them within range of a tower and jump out, allowing the vehicle to transform into an automated cannon that can lay siege to the tower. The Abandoned Siege Engine will continue to damage the closest tower in range until the machine is destroyed by opposing forces.
To the Victor Go the Spoils
Players who win the battle for Tol Barad will be awarded honor points in addition to Tol Barad commendations. These commendations can be used along with new reputations as currency with special vendors who sell rare and epic items, mounts, and more. In addition, the controlling faction will have unique access to extra daily quests. Similar to the Vault of Archavon, Tol Barad gives those who control it the chance to form a raid and best foul beasts locked within Baradin Hold for precious rewards.
Questing for a Living
Aside from the battle to control Tol Barad, there are many quests available to both factions just off of the main island on Tol Barad Peninsula. Members of the Horde will assist Hellscream's Reach, an all-new faction vying for control of Tol Barad. At odds with the Horde are Baradin's Wardens, an Alliance faction also seeking to command the territory. Six unique quests, randomly determined from a larger pool of missions, will be offered daily. This will allow for diversity in completing quest objectives as you explore Tol Barad Peninsula over time. The faction that controls Tol Barad will also have sole access to six additional daily quests. Completing each of these exclusive quests will award experience, gold, and Tol Barad commendations. By accomplishing these tasks, players will learn of the perilous inmates held within the prison on Tol Barad, as well as why this isolated land is of great importance to Hellscream's Reach and Baradin's Wardens. In addition, increasing reputation with these new factions will grant access to incredible rewards.
With so much at stake in the wake of the Cataclysm, Tol Barad will be fiercely sought-after by the Horde and the Alliance, but it's up to you to help determine which side makes this island the next great military port of the Eastern Kingdoms.

From Toxic Banking to Asbestos
Date created : Latest update :
From toxic banking to the asbestos industry – which one is getting a lifeline this time? Also, we focus on World Heritage sites being destroyed in Mali, with the expectation that more is to come.
No sooner has Barclays come under the harsh light of public scrutiny, than the Telegraph is saying enough already – Stop the Banker Bashing!
The Guardian takes issue with this, saying now is the chance to investigate the banking sector as a whole and make up for the missed opportunity we had to do so in 2008.
Also, the painful irony of an Islamic group in Mali destroying ancient mosques that have been classified as World Heritage sites. Ansar Dine, the break-away group, says tourism must stop in Mali, for "it fosters debauchery."
And Canada is known for environmental protection, right? Quebec's Premier has just extended a $58 million loan to an asbestos producer, in the hope that it can boost exports to developing countries.

Two-Toned Edgecoloring
We recently produced this stationery suite designed by
for the Massachusetts based film company
. The design called for two-toned edgecoloring–a production first for our studio–with two edges colored bright teal and the remaining two sporting a nearly-flourescent red. The outcome is fairly stunning, if we do say so ourselves. The business cards were printed on Crane Lettra Flo White 90C custom duplexed after printing to make a 180lb thickness. Letterhead was printed on Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80T with a coordinating 70T pre-converted square flap #10 envelope.

Office for Aging Mini-Bus reservations must be made at least one business day in advance and no more than one week in advance
Call 607.763.8747. Only those requests received between 8:00 AM. and 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday will be considered. Ride requests received on major holidays cannot be accepted.
You may reserve your ride online via your computer or smartphone. Only those requests received Monday through Friday during the hours of 8:00 AM. and 3:00 PM. will be considered. Ride requests received on major holidays cannot be accepted. You can reserve your ride online in English or Spanish.
Please note that our approach is to work with each consumer or agency to prevent any suspensions from occurring and to keep consumers access to transportation. This is accomplished by sending warning letters to consumers after each no-show. During this time there is an opportunity for the consumer or agency to contact us if the no-show was beyond their control. We will then remove the no-show. However, if the consumer or agency does not contact us after each warning letter and then they receive a suspension letter, there is a grace period prior to the suspension beginning where the consumer or agency can contact us once again. It is only after every possible step is exhausted that we instill the suspension process. At this point they are given an opportunity to appeal.

10 Most Shocking Breakups of 2012
We're happy to present this story from one of our favorite sites, YourTango. Today, we look at the tough year on love in Hollywood.
Every year, celebrities pop out babies, pop the question, and surprise us with their random hookups, but this year in particular saw a lot of heartbreak in Hollywood. From Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to Seal and Heidi Klum, it seemed like even the strongest couples were parting ways. And as fans, it was tough to handle! Who could have predicted the Kristen Stewart cheating scandal?! Not Twihards, that's for sure! So let's take a look back at this year's most jaw-dropping breakups and hope some of these couples find their way back to one another!

A Heritage of Music Making
Below, right: Amos' father John Columbus Henline. Click on this photo to see the detail.
Their dad Amos Henline was born in Orlando in 1893, the son of John Columbus and Sarah (Godfrey) Henline. Amos was already fiddling at the age of 21 when an accident at work, in the veneering mill at Burnsville, took two fingers. Amos then found life-long employment at the Burnsville area operations of the Philadelphia Gas Company and its successor, The Equitable Gas Company.
There is a maid in our town,
A darling niece of mine.
She is so very blithe and gay.
Someone nicknamed her "Shine."
She is so very kind and good,
You couldn't help but love her.
I know you'd never if you could,
Praise someone else above her.
She is very young, and so discreet,
Most beautiful to behold.
She's fair in form, in manner sweet,
She's worth her weight in gold.
I hope that on judgment morn,
When all the saints shall rise,
That Olive in a spirit form
Will meet me in the skies.
Soon my days on earth will cease,
For I am growing weak.
But Olive, still you'll be my niece
And I, your Uncle Zeke.
There is a man in Buzzardtown,
Not handsome, so to speak.
For he is none other
Than my Uncle Zeke.
Some people think him funny,
But he seems to make friends,
So we'll not count him slow.
I think him a jolly old fellow,
To me always the same.
And I shall always love him
As long as Zeke is his name.
I'll remember that dear old face
And do for him all I can,
For to me he is always the same,
And is such a dear old man.
So may God bless and keep him
As good as he is today.
When he kneels down to pray.
And now the friends of Buzzardtown
Join with me and speak,
That we shall always love him,
As long as he is Uncle Zeke.
Olive (Henline) Brannon gave birth to two children, Robert in 1936 and Joyce Carole in 1937. A devoted mother, Olive's life would be far too short, passing away in 1946 at the age of 32. Helen Jeffries remembers the Orlando community was much saddened by Olive's untimely death. Olive, despite her terminal illness, managed to visit friends and relatives in the Orlando area to say her goodbyes. The name of Olive's daughter, Joyce Carole, translates into "Joyful Song," which is a fitting legacy to her mother.
In the late 1930s Jimmy left Burnsville and went to Norfolk, Virginia to work in a defense plant. He was married briefly to Wilma Dennison and when that union collapsed, Jimmy left Norfolk and went to Cincinnati to work near his brother and musical partner, Charlie. Jimmy opened a electrical business, J & J Electric, in the Cincinnati area and worked in the electrical field for the remainder of his life. Jimmy and Charlie continued their avocation of playing music in the Cincinnati area and frequently returned to their home in Burnsville with their fiddle and guitar on holidays and vacations to entertain the homefolks with music. .
Waitman Collins recalls that Charlie Henline, Andy Knight, Kenny Gifford and he would go out on the railroad tracks near the B & O trestle over the Little Kanawha River at night and sing songs "for the fun of it," and would sometimes serenade Rhody Rollyson, a large lady who lived on the bank above the road near the trestle. After Rhody had been serenaded long enough, she would stand up on the porch and tell the boys that "It's time for you bullfrogs to go home to bed."
Whatever the case, Charlie became employed by Sears Roebuck Company in Cincinnati as an appliance salesman and worked there his entire career. Of course, Charlie still played and taught others to play the guitar, and played musical engagements at social clubs, political rallies, private homes and anywhere else there was a need. Charlie often came back to West Virginia to visit family and friends in Burnsville and Orlando. Charlie's guitar accompanied him everywhere he went and it was played every chance Charlie got to entertain a music-loving ear.
Neither James nor Charlie Henline enjoyed good health as adults. Both brothers had several operations in their later years. Marlene Henline, wife of James, recalls that during their seven years of marriage her husband had eleven operations. Joyce Brannon was with her niece Jackie (Henline) Bowser when Charlie was entered into a nursing home after developing Alzheimer's disease. This crippling disease however did not diminish Charlie's love of music and he continued to play his guitar in the nursing home (when he wasn't trying to escape) according to his niece, Joyce Brannon.
Whose dear forms you often miss;
When you close your earthly story,
Will you join them in their bliss.
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by.
Is a better home a-waiting
In the sky, in the sky? 4
1. Uncle Zeke, the Bard of Buzzardtown, has often been the source of stories on this website. His writings have enriched the preserved the history of Orlando and the surrounding area. "Uncle Zeke" is the pen name of Patrick Newton Blake (1867-1951) born on Clover Fork, made his home near the confluence of Posey Run and Oil Creek. For more on Uncle Zeke, see entries for December '06 Trouble At Uncle Zeek's House and October '06 Uncle Zeke From Buzzard Town
2. Walter Blake was the brother of Charlotte Blake, the first wife of Amos Henline. Walter worked for the Philadelphia Gas Company. In mid-life, Walter sustained a broken neck and for the remainder of his life wore a metal back brace with a heavy rubber band attached to the back brace which looped over Walter's forehead in order to hold his head erect. Boys of the area, referencing the rubber band type device, called Walter "Old Slingshot." Walter was a member of another band referred to as the "Buzzardtown Hillbillies". Sam Bragg was also a member of that band.
4. These words from the song, "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," were writen by Ada Habershon.
comment 1 Joyce Brannon
Joyce Brannon, daughter of Olive (Henline) Brannon, is also musically talented. As a ten year old child she rode her bicycle six miles to Hurst, Gilmer County, to take piano lessons. Joyce Carole graduated from Glenville State College with a degree in Music and is a retired teacher in Richmond, Virginia.
Joyce tells us that her Uncle Charlie and a companion (Waitman Collins says it was Charlie's brother, James), flagged down a Greyhound bus which they assumed was going to Charleston. The bus driver negotiated a fare with them and accepted what money they had for the ride. There was apparently no discussion about where the bus was heading and instead of Charleston the bus ended up in Cincinnati. Thus began the Henline exodus to Cincinnati. All four Henline brothers, Jake, Pat, Charlie and Jimmy (The four brothers are pictured to the right) ended up in Cincinnati eventually. After high school, Joyce, their niece, also migrated to Cincinnati for employment, but returned shortly afterward to commence college at Glenville State.
Dear David,

In 2013, the TCP and the Renaissance Society of America (RSA) teamed up to offer an article prize with the aim of recognizing and rewarding original research that makes substantial and significant use of digitized archives of Renaissance print and manuscript source materials, and which engages thoughtfully with these resources. New scholarly articles published on or after January 1, 2012 were eligible for consideration.
Fifteen entries were submitted and evaluated this winter by a team of judges including representatives from RSA and two from the TCP's own staff. A winner was chosen and announced at the 2014 meeting of the RSA's annual meeting in New York. We're delighted now to share the news more broadly:
The Renaissance Society of America (RSA) and the Text Creation Partnership (TCP) are pleased to award the inaugural prize in Digital Renaissance Research to Dr. Byron Hamann, Department of Art and Architecture at Ohio State University. Dr. Hamann's article, entitled "Object, Image, Cleverness: The Lienzo de Tlaxcala," Art History 36, n. 3 (2013). The article relies on a digital recreation of a now-lost 16th century Mexican painted textile that reconstructs the visual effect of the document as whole. It uses this recreation to argue that we are better able to understand both the meaning of individual scenes as well as the polemic argument of the narrative textile as a whole. The judges were impressed with the way that Hamann's research used a digital recreation to investigate issues of materiality, iconography, cleverness, and the structures of Native American history-writing, as well as its thoroughness and accuracy in citing the digital sources.
In speaking with our users and colleagues around the world, we've learned that transparent citation of and critical engagement with digitized historical materials is a real challenge for many scholars, who often prefer to cite the original materials than point to a digital surrogate—even if only the digital surrogate was consulted. The TCP hopes that this prize will serve to recognize the work of scholars doing this well, and help to spur on conversations and development of best practices in this area.
We extend our hearty congratulations to Dr. Hamann and our thanks to all those who submitted articles for consideration this year.

Research & Analysis by John Laitner
Social Security Research at the Michigan Retirement Research Center
from Social Security Bulletin, Vol. 69, No. 4 (released December 2009)
The Office of Retirement and Disability Policy at the Social Security Administration created the Retirement Research Consortium in 1998 to encourage research on topics related to Social Security and the well-being of older Americans, and to foster communication between the academic and policy communities. The Michigan Retirement Research Center (MRRC) has participated in the Consortium since its inception. This article surveys a selection of the MRRC's output over its first 10 years and highlights several themes in the Center's ongoing research.

MATLAB® Code Analyzer can automatically check your code for coding problems.
You can view warning and error messages about your code, and modify your file based on the messages. The messages update automatically and continuously so you can see if your changes addressed the issues noted in the messages. Some messages offer additional information, automatic code correction, or both.
To enable continuous code checking in a MATLAB code file in the Editor:
On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences.
Select MATLAB > Code Analyzer, and then select the Enable integrated warning and error messages check box.
Set the Underlining option to
Underline warnings and errors, and then
click OK.
Changing the continuous code checking preferences is not supported in MATLAB Online™. Continuous code checking is always enabled.
You can use continuous code checking in MATLAB code files in the Editor:
Open a MATLAB code file in the Editor. This example uses the sample file
lengthofline.m that ships with the MATLAB software:
Open the example file:
open(fullfile(matlabroot,'help','techdoc','matlab_env',... 'examples','lengthofline.m'))
Save the example file to a folder to which you have write
access. For the example,
lengthofline.m is
saved to
Examine the message indicator at the top of the message bar to see the Code Analyzer messages reported for the file:
Red indicates that syntax errors or other significant issues were detected.
Orange indicates warnings or opportunities for improvement, but no errors, were detected.
Green indicates no errors, warnings, or opportunities for improvement were detected.
In this example, the indicator is red, meaning that there is at least one error in the file.
Click the message indicator to go to the next code fragment containing a message. The next code fragment is relative to the current cursor position, viewable in the status bar.
In the
lengthofline example, the first message is
at line 21. The cursor moves to the beginning of line 21.
The code fragment for which there is a message is underlined in either red for errors or orange for warnings and improvement opportunities.
View the message by moving the mouse pointer within the underlined code fragment.
The message opens in a tooltip and contains a Details button that provides access to additional information by extending the message. Not all messages have additional information.
Click the Details button.
The window expands to display an explanation and user action.
The message indicator and underlining automatically update to reflect changes you make, even if you do not save the file.
On line 27, hover over
The code is underlined because there is a warning message, and it is highlighted because an automatic fix is available. When you view the message, it provides a button to apply the automatic fix.
Fix the problem by doing one of the following:
If you know what the fix is (from previous experience), click Fix.
If you are unfamiliar with the fix, view, and then apply it as follows:
Right-click the highlighted code (for a single-button mouse, press Ctrl+ click), and then view the first item in the context menu.
Click the fix.
MATLAB automatically corrects the code.
In this example, MATLAB replaces
prod(size(hline)) with
Go to a different message by doing one of the following:
To go to the next message, click the message indicator or the next underlined code fragment.
To go to a line that a marker represents, click a red or orange line in the indicator bar.
To see the first error in
click the first red marker in the message bar. The cursor moves
to the first suspect code fragment in line 47. The
Details and
Fix buttons are dimmed (or not
visible if in MATLAB
Online), indicating that there is no more information
about this message and there is no automatic fix.
Multiple messages can represent a single problem or multiple problems. Addressing one might address all of them, or after addressing one, the other messages might change or what you need to do might become clearer.
Modify the code to address the problem noted in the message—the message indicators update automatically.
On line 47, the message suggests a delimiter imbalance. To investigate this message, in the Editor, move the arrow key over each of the delimiters to see if MATLAB indicates a mismatch. For instructions on how to enable delimiter matching on arrow, see Set Keyboard Preferences.
It might appear that there are no mismatched delimiters. However, code
analysis detects the semicolon in parentheses:
data{3}(;), and interprets it as the end of a
statement. The message reports that the two statements on line 47 each
have a delimiter imbalance.
To fix the problem, in line 47, change
data{3}(:). Now, the underline no longer appears
in line 47. The single change addresses the issues in both of the
messages for line 47. Because the change removed the only error in the
file, the message indicator at the top of the bar changes from red to
orange, indicating that only warnings and potential improvements
After modifying the code to address all the messages, or disabling designated
messages, the message indicator becomes green. The example file with all
messages addressed has been saved as
lengthofline2.m. Open
the corrected example file with the
open(fullfile(matlabroot,'help','techdoc',... 'matlab_env', 'examples','lengthofline2.m'))
You can create a report of messages for an individual file, or for all files in a folder using one of these methods:
Run a report for an individual MATLAB code file:
On the Editor window, click and select Show Code Analyzer Report.
A Code Analyzer Report appears in the MATLAB Web Browser.
Modify your file based on the messages in the report.
Save the file.
Rerun the report to see if your changes addressed the issues noted in the messages.
Run a report for all files in a folder:
On the Current Folder browser, click .
Select Reports > Code Analyzer Report.
Modify your files based on the messages in the report.
For details, see MATLAB Code Analyzer Report.
Save the modified file(s).
Rerun the report to see if your changes addressed the issues noted in the messages.
Depending on the stage at which you are in completing a MATLAB file, you might want to restrict the code underlining. You can do this by using the Code Analyzer preference referred to in step 1, in Check Code for Errors and Warnings. For example, when first coding, you might prefer to underline only errors because warnings would be distracting.
Code analysis does not provide perfect information about every situation and
sometimes, you might not want to change the code based on a message. If you do not
want to change the code, and you do not want to see the indicator and message for
that line, suppress them. For the
lengthofline example, in line
49, the first message is
Terminate statement with semicolon to suppress
output (in functions). Adding a semicolon to the end of a statement
suppresses output and is a common practice. Code analysis alerts you to lines that
produce output, but lack the terminating semicolon. If you want to view output from
line 49, do not add the semicolon as the message suggests.
There are a few different ways to suppress (turn off) the indicators for warning and error messages:
You cannot suppress error messages such as syntax errors. Therefore, instructions on suppressing messages do not apply to those types of messages.
Changing the Code Analyzer Message preferences is not supported in MATLAB Online. All Code Analyzer messages are always enabled.
You can suppress a specific instance of a Code Analyzer message in the current file. For example, using the code presented in Check Code for Errors and Warnings , follow these steps:
In line 49, right-click at the first underline (for a single-button mouse, press Ctrl+click).
From the context menu, select Suppress 'Terminate statement with semicolon...' > On This Line.
The comment
%#ok<NOPRT> appears at the end of
the line, which instructs MATLAB not to check for a terminating semicolon at that line. The
underline and mark in the indicator bar for that message
If there are two messages on a line that you do not want to display, right-click separately at each underline and select the appropriate entry from the context menu.
%#ok syntax expands. For the example, in the
code presented in Check Code for Errors and Warnings, ignoring both messages for line 49 adds
Even if Code Analyzer preferences are set to enable this message, the
specific instance of the message suppressed in this way does not appear
because the
%#ok takes precedence over the preference
setting. If you later decide you want to check for a terminating
semicolon at that line, delete
%#ok<NOPRT> from
the line.
You can suppress all instances of a specific Code Analyzer message in the current file. For example, using the code presented in Check Code for Errors and Warnings, follow these steps:
In line 49, right-click at the first underline (for a single-button mouse, press Ctrl+click).
From the context menu, select Suppress 'Terminate statement with semicolon...' > In This File.
The comment
%#ok<*NOPRT> appears at the end of the
line, which instructs MATLAB not to check for a terminating semicolon throughout the file. All
underlines and marks in the message indicator bar that correspond to this
message disappear.
If there are two messages on a line that you do not want to display anywhere
in the current file, right-click separately at each underline, and then select
the appropriate entry from the context menu. The
%#ok syntax
expands. For the example, in the code presented in Check Code for Errors and Warnings, ignoring both messages for line
49 adds
Even if Code Analyzer preferences are set to enable this message, the message
does not appear because the
%#ok takes precedence over the
preference setting. If you later decide you want to check for a terminating
semicolon in the file, delete
%#ok<*NOPRT> from the
You can disable all instances of a Code Analyzer message in all files. For example, using the code presented in Check Code for Errors and Warnings, follow these steps:
In line 49, right-click at the first underline (for a single-button mouse, press Ctrl+click).
From the context menu, select Suppress 'Terminate statement with semicolon...' > In All Files.
This modifies the Code Analyzer preference setting.
If you know which message or messages you want to suppress, you can disable them directly using Code Analyzer preferences, as follows:
On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences.
Select MATLAB > Code Analyzer.
Search the messages to find the ones you want to suppress.
Clear the check box associated with each message you want to suppress in all files.
Click OK.
You can specify that you want certain Code Analyzer messages enabled or disabled, and then save those settings to a file. When you want to use a settings file with a particular file, you select it from the Code Analyzer preferences pane. That setting file remains in effect until you select another settings file. Typically, you change the settings file when you have a subset of files for which you want to use a particular settings file.
Follow these steps:
On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences.
The Preferences dialog box opens.
Select MATLAB > Code Analyzer.
Enable or disable specific messages, or categories of messages.
Click the Actions button , select Save as,
and then save the settings to a
txt file.
Click OK.
You can reuse these settings for any MATLAB file, or provide the settings file to another user.
To use the saved settings:
On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences.
The Preferences dialog box opens.
Select MATLAB > Code Analyzer.
Use the Active Settings drop-down list to select Browse....
The Open dialog box appears.
Choose from any of your settings files.
The settings you choose are in effect for all MATLAB files until you select another set of Code Analyzer settings.
If you receive code that contains suppressed messages, you might want to review those messages without the need to unsuppress them first. A message might be in a suppressed state for any of the following reasons:
One or more
%#ok<message-ID> directives are
on a line of code that elicits a message specified by
One or more
%#ok<*message-ID> directives are
in a file that elicits a message specified by
It is cleared in the Code Analyzer preferences pane.
It is disabled by default.
To determine the reasons why some messages are suppressed:
Search the file for the
%#ok directive and create a
list of all the message IDs associated with that directive.
On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences.
The Preferences dialog box opens.
Select MATLAB > Code Analyzer.
In the search field, type
msgid: followed by one of
the message IDs, if any, you found in step 1.
The message list now contains only the message that corresponds to
that ID. If the message is a hyperlink, click it to see an explanation
and suggested action for the message. This can provide insight into why
the message is suppressed or disabled. The following image shows how the
Preferences dialog box appears when you enter
msgid:CPROP in the search field.
Click the button to clear the search field, and then repeat step 4 for each message ID you found in step 1.
Display messages that are disabled by default and disabled in the Preferences pane by clicking the down arrow to the right of the search field. Then, click Show Disabled Messages.
Review the message associated with each message ID to understand why it is suppressed in the code or disabled in Preferences.
Code analysis is a valuable tool, but there are some limitations:
Sometimes, it fails to produce Code Analyzer messages where you expect them.
By design, code analysis attempts to minimize the number of incorrect messages it returns, even if this behavior allows some issues to go undetected.
Sometimes, it produces messages that do not apply to your situation.
When provided with message, click the Detail button for additional information, which can help you to make this determination. Error messages are almost always problems. However, many warnings are suggestions to look at something in the code that is unusual and therefore suspect, but might be correct in your case.
Suppress a warning message if you are certain that the message does not apply to your situation. If your reason for suppressing a message is subtle or obscure, include a comment giving the rationale. That way, those who read your code are aware of the situation.
For details, see Adjust Code Analyzer Message Indicators and Messages.
These sections describe code analysis limitations regarding the following:
Code analysis cannot always distinguish function names from variable names.
For the following code, if the Code Analyzer message is enabled, code analysis
returns the message,
Code Analyzer cannot determine whether xyz is a
variable or a function, and assumes it is a function. Code
analysis cannot make a determination because
xyz has no
obvious value assigned to it. However, the program might have placed the value
in the workspace in a way that code analysis cannot detect.
function y=foo(x) . . . y = xyz(x); end
For example, in the following code,
xyz can be a function,
or can be a variable loaded from the MAT-file. Code analysis has no way of
making a
function y=foo(x) load abc.mat y = xyz(x); end
evalin, or
assignin functions.
If code analysis mistakes a variable for a function, do one of the following:
Initialize the variable so that code analysis does not treat it as a function.
For the
load function, specify the variable
name explicitly in the
load command line. For
function y=foo(x) load abc.mat xyz y = xyz(x); end
Code analysis cannot always distinguish structures from handle objects. In the
following code, if
x is a structure, you might expect a Code
Analyzer message indicating that the code never uses the updated value of the
structure. If
x is a handle object, however, then this code
can be
function foo(x) x.a = 3; end
Code analysis cannot determine whether
x is a structure or
a handle object. To minimize the number of incorrect messages, code analysis
returns no message for the previous code, even though it might contain a subtle
and serious bug.
If some built-in functions are overloaded in a class or on the path, Code Analyzer messages might apply to the built-in function, but not to the overloaded function you are calling. In this case, suppress the message on the line where it appears or suppress it for the entire file.
For information on suppressing messages, see Adjust Code Analyzer Message Indicators and Messages.
Code analysis has a limited ability to determine the type of variables and the shape of matrices. Code analysis might produce messages that are appropriate for the most common case, such as for vectors. However, these messages might be inappropriate for less common cases, such as for matrices.
Code Analyzer has limited capabilities to check class definitions with superclasses. For example, Code Analyzer cannot always determine if the class is a handle class, but it can sometimes validate custom attributes used in a class if the attributes are inherited from a superclass. When analyzing class definitions, Code Analyzer tries to use information from the superclasses but often cannot get enough information to make a certain determination.
Most class methods must contain at least one argument that is an object of the same class as the method. But it does not always have to be the first argument. When it is, code analysis can determine that an argument is an object of the class you are defining, and it can do various checks. For example, it can check that the property and method names exist and are spelled correctly. However, when code analysis cannot determine that an object is an argument of the class you are defining, then it cannot provide these checks.
You can switch between showing or hiding Compiler deployment messages when you work on a file by changing the Code Analyzer preference for this message category. Your choice likely depends on whether you are working on a file to be deployed. When you change the preference, it also changes the setting in the Editor. The converse is also true—when you change the setting from the Editor, it effectively changes this preference. However, if the dialog box is open at the time you modify the setting in the Editor, you will not see the changes reflected in the Preferences dialog box. Whether you change the setting from the Editor or from the Preferences dialog box, it applies to the Editor and to the Code Analyzer Report.
To enable MATLAB Compiler™ deployment messages:
On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences.
The Preferences dialog box opens.
Select MATLAB > Code Analyzer.
Click the down arrow next to the search field, and then select Show Messages in Category > MATLAB Compiler (Deployment) Messages.
Click the Enable Category button.
Clear individual messages that you do not want to display for your code (if any).
Decide if you want to save these settings, so you can reuse them next time you work on a file to be deployed.
The settings
txt file, which you can create as described in
Save and Reuse Code Analyzer Message Settings, includes the status
of this setting.

By Rev Michael Bresciani:
Huff-Po and the pop-culture scoffers seem un-nerved of late over Sen. Marco Rubio's statement about the mystery of the age of the planet earth. He told GQ's Michael Hainey that many theories have been put forth and all of them might be worthy of a look see. GQ spends more time on deciding who will make the list of 'men of the year' and the plague of erectile dysfunction, so, just when did they take up the deep scientific question of origins?
The criticism of Sen. Rubio's statements is at best, hyper-dismissiveness, wrapped in a thin veneer of intellectual pride, posing as reason. It is not simply pop-science that the emerging creation science speaks to, but it is every assertion of science that is accepted without deeper or even other scrutiny. For any science to be legitimate it must grow up as it were and be willing to undergo a greater scrutiny; today's Darwinism is not in any way allowing an alternate view or considering the latest discoveries and pertinent data, in this, and the slights against Rubio, the word dilettante comes to mind.
Perhaps the readers of Huff and GQ have little time between school, cool and deciding who is a fool to actually question the speculated 4.5 billion years scientists have announced as the right number of years to create and age the earth. Is scoffing now an element of empiricism? Have the heady taken up juvenile sliming to polish the rust spots in highly disputable scientific speculation? Creation Science has a lot to say about bloated, untested, un-witnessed speculation, but the Darwin train left the station long ago and the evolutionists won't be back to better reasoning for a long time.
It is nothing short of amazing that evolutionists need almost 5 billion years to explain or age one of the smallest planets in the universe, but only a three second blast to create the whole universe at the unlikely event known as – the big bang. That the uncreated gases should all come into the same neighborhood at the most propitious moment in history and react, sounds more like someone had a serious bang to the head and a theory emerged. If these are the people laughing at the God believers; we might want to just ignore them rather than wasting time in debate.
The greater likelihood is that the academically indoctrinated and dumbed down cookie cutter punch-outs are moving preemptively against a brilliant and popular Senator who after all may be on the republican list for a 2016 run at the White House. It isn't about science it's about silence.
Keeping anything Rubio says silent is obviously the goal. Rubio clearly stated "I'm not a scientist' but that is not what they care about. They didn't need to ask him if he was a politician, a statesman or a contender, that's understood.
Not understanding either divinity or the power divinity holds is part and parcel to all secularism, whether it is brought on by indoctrination, indifference or a need to stay within culturally accepted social parameters. It is what keeps the pseudo scientists from explaining how the gases for the big bang came into being in a creator-less universe.
It is what keeps the self-assured from knowing how eyes, withered limbs, missing flesh (lepers) and other maladies that would require months or years to re-invigorate, were replaced in seconds when Jesus Christ prayed over the diseased.
It is the absence of any explanation for the production of enough bread and seafood to feed 5,000 people coming from only a few loaves and fishes. No fishing vessels were sent out and no bakeries were engaged and the time to produce all these victuals was perhaps 15 minutes.
Nobody can remember when, where or how long it took to create the world, but Jesus invoked the power of memory to witness the lightning speed of the power of God in the miracle of the loaves and fishes. To wit:
"Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?" (Mt 6: 19)
I have taken the time to remember and have long since formed this opinion, and I have no intention to run for any office in my lifetime. Those who think God could not, and would not create our world in seven days or seven thousand years have yet once again underestimated the power of the almighty God. He could and would if he chose, create this world in seven seconds.
The extra time may have been taken just to make sure all the goods and gifts of creation were here for us, the unbelieving, the un-thankful and believer alike. Unlike the evolutionists I am willing to admit that this is purely speculative, but my guess is as good as theirs!
It is almost impossible to explain to those who will not hear, that man will always take the path of least resistance. Adding dignity and perhaps some credence to certain discoveries through science often is just manipulation of the facts and a lot of 'just trust me' coming from empiricisms authorities.
We look at all the facts to determine if they are correct, but when a predisposition driven by human pride is in play, we accept conjecture and speculation from science and the scientists become very authoritarian, priest-like, inquisitors and judges who sit and decide against those who not only dare to think, but whose empirical findings are in conflict with the status quo.
People of faith are not allowed to question any part of scientific conclusion, and scientific authoritarians refuse to accept any part of the faith message. The scientists seem to have won, at the very same time they have lost everything. Truth, subjective or objective cannot always be empirically determined. Thus when placed up against prophecy, (the forth telling of the will and counsel of God) science will always come up short.
This writer has always been amazed at the preponderance of speculation used by scientists today. No one dares to question them on the smallest matters much less the very creation of the universe. Any speculation about what took place billions of years past would be missing any eye witnesses and untold decayed, deterioration and non-existent proof for modern eyes to subject to repeatable observable scrutiny. It is the echo of God's answer to Job that comes to mind.
"Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding." (Job 38: 2, 3, 4)
How pompous that now science has presumed to determine not just who is intelligent but who has character, who is qualified to be a statesmen or a leader. My answer to this nonsense is simple, the scientists are now cleared to come down out of the clouds and come in for a landing.
