Several County Commissioners gave the business to the Worcester County Board of Education last week, criticizing school officials for not letting them know earlier there would be a substantial expense overrun in the current budget.
After some harsh criticism and threats, the end result was the commissioners voting 5-2 to allocate $385,000 to offset the shortfall, but it did not come without some drama as some commissioners took their turns telling school representatives they were out of line for requesting the funds after the next fiscal year budget had already been approved. The idea here being the commissioners could have added this amount to the next budget rather than tap into the sacred reserve fund.
If you listen to the commissioners, the perception is the school board never told them about the possible overrun. However, there's a paper trail that proves that's untrue. In November, the school board let the county know it was approximately $991,000 over budget, a result of soaring fuel, maintenance and special education expenses.
Updates were apparently provided along the way letting the commissioners know how the school system was making out covering the shortfall. Whether the commissioners ever received these updates is unclear. Nonetheless, the commissioners are right to be annoyed over the last-minute request for additional school funds. It came less than two weeks before the close of the 2008 fiscal year. However, it's worth pointing out there are other departments that go over budget, but it's not always made public because it's not typically this large of an amount. Additionally, it's often done quietly and not in a public meeting so we are not aware how frequent the county uses its reserve fund to help other departments.
What Worcester County schools need they usually receive, and that makes it an easy target. The schools' supporters are more vocal than anyone and they have every right to be so. What's more important than the education of our youth? There's nothing more important in this county than public education and that's confirmed each year when nearly half of the county's annual spending is directed one way or another to education.
It costs a lot of money to fund this massive operation, and some argue there's a lot of fat in the annual budget. We would say that's not the case for the most part. Anyone can objectively look at a budget and argue certain points. A common argument raised with the school system is the top-level administrators are over paid, while the rank-and-file teachers receive an average salary based on other state jurisdictions. There may be some merit to that, but it would need to be explored on a case-by-case basis and that's a chore for another day.
It's no secret the commissioners and school board are not exactly chummy right now. Last week's meeting ruffled some feathers on both sides and some time is needed to clear the air.
Although it makes our job fun when they disagree, the public school system needs the support of county government and its elected officials. They need to be on the same page. Politics should not get in the way of that.
It's no secret Worcester's public school system is the best on the shore. The facts prove this year in and year out and that does not happen by accident. It's the result of a sound commitment and partnership and that needs to continue despite some differences. They each need each other and last week's episode perhaps proved there are some differences but the goals are still the same.

General information regarding the on-board computer functions
Range on remaining fuel
The range on remaining fuel is continuously recalculated during the journey based on the fuel level, current consumption and average consumption. The more the fuel level falls, the more spontaneously the display reacts. For this reason, the range on remaining fuel is not displayed if less than 9 miles (15 kilometers).
If the vehicle's inclination changes while driving or refueling, incorrect range information may temporarily be given.
If the tank is nearly empty and you top up with only a small quantity of fuel, an accurate range on remaining fuel is impossible.
Average consumption and average speed
The values displayed are based on the distance travelled since the last reset to "zero".
You can set the starting time for a measurement before or during the trip. Switching the ignition off does not reset the measurements. It is therefore possible to collect values over long periods.
Disconnecting the car battery will cause these memories to be erased.
Tire pressure
The Tire pressure function of the on-board computer displays the tire pressures dependent on temperature in the four wheels. You can watch the tire pressure rise and fall while driving.
The display is only for information.

Journal entry of a Galandorian at the Battle of Banner War:
My line was marching forward, towards utter chaos it seemed. The clashing of shields and swords in the distance grew louder as we neared. I felt despair in my unit as I looked around, we all shared the same face, a terror it seemed, as if we were marching to our doom. Suddenly I heard a dull roar come from behind us, I turned and saw my comrades do the same. The dull roar slowly rose, and as the shape of our allies appeared between the trees the roar was almost triumphant. Dressed in gold and white every fighter nearing us looked exuberant. They slowed to match our march as they approached us, once we were neck and neck the ranks closed and we became one unit. We saw our general in front, our glorious Defender, standing strong, armed with the shield of Galandor. Our speed increased, the despair that gripped us moments before left as we neared the battle. The fighting was now laid out in front of us, I swallowed hard as I saw the overwhelming Crimson before me. Our general raised his sword and bellowed over the deafening battle, "For Galandor! CHARGE!!" I was knocked forward and stumbled to keep my footing as I skipped into a run, an all-out sprint. Our enemies turned as they heard the cry, pikes leveled to meet us, shields locked up, my focus was sharp and I was ready for anything…
Greetings to all members of the populace. On the 22nd day of May we invite you all to meet in the mountains of Flagstaff to battle in the glorious Battle Of Banner War. The site will open at 10 AM that morning and will close at 12 PM on Monday the 25th. The site will be the same as previous years and the fee will be 15 crowns.
This years war will be a bit different than years past, each day will be themed differently and the scenarios will mimic that. Be prepared to fight all three forms on both days, and keep in mind we will be sticking to a schedule as best as possible. As many years before, on Friday night we will have a shinai tourney open to all who are willing. It will be in the form of the Wandering Waylaid Tourney we had here in Altiora. The next morning Steel will be first, with a Crested Tournament, and melees will follow. In Rapier, melees will be taking place first, due to the scenario, and the tournament will be proceeding it. As we transition forms we'll have a closed Shinai tournament, and follow with a Grand Melee where the two opposing teams will fight over a large open field and capture their opponents and ransom them off. When Sunday arrives the fighting will start once again with the same order of events, however, the theme will be different.
Both days will be a host of wonderful events. We will be having Queen's tea mid-afternoon on Sunday. And after we all have our dinners on Saturday night we will meet again and have a Royal Dessert Festival. I ask that each household brings their own dessert so we can share and have a joyous time. After our stomachs are thoroughly stuffed there will then be an Kingdom Estates meeting before we all meet again and enjoy Stormdragon's Gambling Den and the Royal Auction to follow.
Of course Banner War is not only a fighting event, on Saturday there will be a Grand Arts Tournament and prizes will be given out to many winners, especially those with more unique entries, Sunday will also be a host of wonderful activities for Artisans as well. We'd like to see as many arts entered and judged as possible by Saturday night, for we don't want anyone to be dismayed from entering them in the auction house simply because they are not done. Along with the fighting and arts our Sovereign Of Arms will be hosting a Banner Competition for the best decorated campsite. Also, on Sunday night there will be a celebration at the Solaris encampment for Dame Lorelei's wedding anniversary.
We'll be in need of many helpers at the event, and we appreciate any who offer it. With any large event, there is lots of planning needed, and while most of this is set there is always chance of change. Please feel free to contact me or any of my co-autocrats if you have any comments or questions. I can be reached at email@example.com or on the Galandor and Vega forums.

I'm willing to bet that all the XFA form definitions you've looked at all have one top level subform. Not surprising, because that's what Designer
allows you to author. But according to the XFA specification, there can be any number of top-level subforms below the <template> root.
Today I'll briefly describe the processing rules for top-level subforms, provide a simple example where you might find them useful, and give you a couple of macros to make these easier to work with in Designer.
The Processing Rules
The rules are simple:
- When there are multiple top-level subforms, only one is rendered.
- We choose which subform to render based on which one best matches the data. i.e. the template behaves like a choice subformSet: <subformSet relation="choice">.
- If no data is supplied, we render the first subform below the <template> element
A Sample
Suppose I want different variations of my form for printing and for interactive. I construct my template so that it has top level subforms for both print and interactive. Since the binding is all "by name", the form will render according to the name of the top level node in the data. Try previewing the sample with these data files: interactive.xml, print.xml — or import these data files in Acrobat, and you'll see the form change according to the data provided. However, controlling print behavior with different data files is more applicable on the server than on the client.
In order to force the form to use the print subform when printing from Acrobat/Reader, I added a pre-print event to the interactive root subform. The script renames the top level node in the data, and forces a remerge. This will cause the print operation to use the print subform.
interactive::prePrint – (JavaScript, client)
xfa.record.name = "print";
Then to restore to the interactive view, I added a postPrint event to the print subform:
print::postPrint – (JavaScript, client)
xfa.record.name = "interactive";
Design Experience
I've already hinted that Designer doesn't really support multiple top-level subforms. But with a couple of handy macros, we can get by.
First problem is that there's no easy way to create a new top level subform. Here's a macro to proide that functionality. You'll notice when you run the macro that there's a problem. The changes made by the macro don't show up in the hierarchy. This is a bug that will be fixed next release. Meanwhile, closing and re-opening the form will workaround the issue. Note that the macro to add the new top level subform also inserts a default master page (<pageSet>). Designer and the XFA runtime are generally very unhappy if they don't have a set of master pages to work with.
Next problem is to figure out how to edit the new top level subform in Designer. Here's a macro to solve that problem. Since Designer always renders the first subform, this macro re-orders the top-level subforms so that you get a different top-level subform. Specifically, the macro re-orders the first subform to be last. Just make sure that when you save the form that your preferred default subform is first in order.
Now, for the specific example of print and interactive variations, I could have implemented the solution in a number of different ways. e.g. with a choice subformSet or with optional subforms at the second level in the hierarchy. But the point was to bring to light some functionality that you might not otherwise been aware of.

Snipplr API Working Again
Published in: API, NewsPosted by Tyler on 05/31/07
I've been pulling my hair out for the last day trying to figure out why the Snipplr XML-RPC API went down. I noticed that it happened around the time Dreamhost upgraded to PHP 5.2.2. but couldn't track down the exact cause.
This post from Daniel Jalkut's blog was the first I had heard of other websites (like every WordPress blog) having similar issues. Turns out, a bug in PHP 5.2.2 makes $HTTP_ RAW_ POST_DATA not set by default. And since the XML-RPC library I rely on uses that variable, kablooey! Goodbye API!
In any case, it's fixed now.

|Assistant Coach
|3 Years
Guemmer enters his second season as an assistant coach on the UMKC track & field staff as the distance coach in 2016, after having his athletes put up record numbers in his first year.
As the primary coach for distance athletes in 2015, Guemmer produced three WAC conference champions, three school record holders, 15 first-team All-WAC honorees, and 17 second-teamers, including men's cross country WAC Freshman of the Year Marcus Johnson. The biggest success of Guemmer's first year as an assistant coach came with the performance all year of Bryce Miller. Miller finished second in the WAC Cross Country Championships, and produced one of the most successful outdoor seasons in UMKC history.
Under the direction of Guemmer, Miller broke his own school record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Payton Jordan Invitational by running a time of 8:38.59. Miller then won a gold medal in the steeple and 5,000-meter run at the WAC Outdoor Championships. His school record breaking time at Payton Jordan held for a qualifying time in the NCAA West Preliminary, and qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon, for the second year in a row by placing fifth-overall at the prelims in Lawrence, Kansas.
Miller capped a successful NCAA outdoor season by yet again breaking his school record, this time in the qualifying round of finals at the outdoor championships with a time of 8:34.32, before running to a ninth-place finish in the finals to mark his second-straight year as a second-team All-American.
Guemmer's guidance continued far past the outdoor season, as Miller's best time in 2016 qualified him for the U.S. Olympic Trials, where he was the first current UMKC athlete to compete at the trials. Miller continued to shine, as he finished in 10th-place in the steeple, an amazing feat for a junior in college. Miller capped his 2016 campaign by competing in the NACAC U-23 Championships in El Salvador, representing the U.S. as one of the best athletes under the age of 23 in the nation.
Prior to joining the UMKC coaching staff, Guemmer was a student-athlete at UMKC and earned his bachelor's degree in secondary education in 2013. In the four year he ran track and cross country for the 'Roos, Guemmer also served on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, and was the president of SAAC in 2011-12.
Guemmer is a native of DeSoto, Missouri, where most of his family still lives, including two of his three brothers.

Spring begins. My calendar has informed me of the official beginning of this refreshing season, although I've felt it outside for a few weeks now. As a Floridian, I know spring will be short, but it will also be time to break out of your everyday routine, release some stress, get out of the office and experience nature in Florida's state parks.
Take the time this season to experience nature with all five of your senses -- seeing Florida's vistas, smelling newly bloomed flowers, feeling the sand between your toes, hearing the sounds of children playing and tasting the treats of your picnic basket in a state park. Spring is an optimum season to engross yourself in the natural and cultural resources of Florida's state parks. There are so many opportunities for new experiences and the special places to continue your old family traditions.
Sometimes it is a hike in the forest, a walk on the beach, building sand castles with your kids, watching a sunrise or a sunset, grilling lunch under a big oak tree, looking for a bird species to add to your life list or paddling your canoe on a long stretch of river. It's about immersion, surrounding yourself with nature and coming away with a renewed appreciation for Florida's splendor. Sometimes you need a slow, relaxing experience, and sometimes you might prefer a fast, exhilarating experience.
I encourage you to spend time in Florida's award-winning state parks this season. Savor the atmosphere of spring and enjoy the Sunshine State in "the real Florida."
Forgione is director of the Florida Park Service.

Over all the systems I adminstrate the fan issue isn't a very frequent issue, but it is an issue that can be quite frustrating and take up a lot of time/resources to figure out issue, which is why I'm documenting each case and resolution that I generally get when I get them.
Received system MT 7483-A16
Issue: Loud Fan, no power on boot.
Put Memory in different banks, reseated internal cables, checked usb connections, pushed down on USB connections to make sure it isn't adjusting the motherboard or that the motherboard isn't offset. Tested PSU via Voltage tester (PSU good), removed HD, Sata cables to separate issue from that device, pulled CMOS battery, does the same, no boot just fan at full speed, no post, no beeps, no video. I have the same MT 7483-A16 motherboard available, swapped it out, boots up, no loud fan, ran PC Doctor, all shows everything as a clean bill of health. Replacing Motherboard.
Sry - Issue: Loud Fan, no power on boot. (system did have power, just no boot).
I experienced the speeding fan issue when I added a PCIe card, the ATI HD5570, to my M58. It refused to boot and would power on with a beeping code (sometimes) or just go into a speeding fan condition with no BIOS access. Turns out my card is not supported, a BIOS update may fix the issue, but I had to remove it for now. It sounds like the speeding fan may be a default response for a number of hardware scenarios (failures, seating issues, incompatabilities, etc.).
Please you tried to install/move RAM to slot 1(near CPU), I found the machine work quiet.
Hi everyone, I've been having exactly the same problem. Case fan stuck around 4000+ rpm, basically unbearable but I have been stupid enough to ignore it for a few months after I couldn't solve the issure before. I tried taking out all the cables, (usb, ethernet, etc.) WIth no attachments except the power cable, I had blissful silence when the computer was turned on. However, I found that when I attached my monitor, (dvi) cable to my graphics card, the fan went loud again. After double checking, I concluded that this cable+graphics card was responsible for the loud case (but not gpu) fan. As of now I have removed my graphics card and all is well except I can't play any games. I've concluded that there are one of two defects: the computer has a problem and doesn't work with graphics cards. OR the graphics card is defective and is causing problems with my pc. I'd love to be able to keep my graphics card so if someone could find a software solution it would be great.
P.S. the graphics card functioned perfectly except for causing this fan issue.
Troubleshooting another loud fan issue. Get power and able to get into windows. MT7483A16 this one your able to boot up and get into windows but has a loud fan. I ran pc doctor, it did say that there was a keyboard failure. I wrote that off as I run my keyboard through a KVM and possibly didn't like it, otherwise all else is good.
-Reseated / moved memory, same.
-Removed the cmos battery, same.
-Reseated the motherboard, processor, same, loud fan.
-Took same type of motherboard, removed the processor, ram, from the one with the loud fan, put all the other parts into the test one, no loud fan.
Replacing motherboard
I was wrong in my previous post to think the fan issue was fixed. It had gone quiet because I hadn;t reconnected the fan lead! It was giving a BIOS beep of fan failure going to network boot, but when that failed it booted normally from HD and all was nice and quiet - no fan at all! CPU temperatures stayed okay (<45C) as the room is not too hot, but obviously I couldn't leave it like this.
I plugged the fan back in a rebooted, expecting the usual wind tunnel sound effects, but joy, it started up with the fan running quietly at 660 rpm and all was well. Joy... for a couple of weeks.
Just now I was trying to copy a CD with Nero, and it read on image of the original CD no problem, but then seized at the point where it was going to burn the new CD. Nothing would respond (no mouse, no ctrl+alt+del etc). I had to use a forced power off with the power switch. And then, you guessed it, after rebooting the loud fan was back, and nothing I've been able to try since has fixed it.
I've tried removing and reseating all motherboard cables, but just the same problem.
This really is ridiculous. With the number of us reporting this, there clearly is some issue with these machines that Lenovo should be fixing, or at least explaining. I'm really depressed by it - it's a one-off machine, I'm in a remote area, and I can;t just go around replacing motherboards in the hope it might fix it.
I'm seeing the same issue, but I have changed the Subject to what I believe is
more relevant. I took delivery of this 7483-W59 IBM/Lenovo Certified Used machine with
3-year Lenovo Warranty on June 18th. I had been playing with the Rescue and Recovery system
and had loaded/destroyed/loaded the hard drive many times, so the Windows/XP system there
is not anything I am currently concerned with. Just last week on Wednesday, June 30th,
I noticed that the fan was "winding out" and NOT being responsive to the Processor loading.
I downloaded and installed SpeedFan 4.40 and it showed that the fan was running at 4000+ RPM.
I would occasionally reboot and the fan would runup in BIOS/POST and then slow down to about
650 RPM's or so AND STAY THERE. NOT GOOD. When I hit the Processor with a heavy load,
expecting the fan to run up, it didn't. I checked BIOS settings, but there wasn't anything that I recognized
that was directly related to the Fan controls. To make a long story SHORT, I am one Motherboard,
Processor, Fan, and Temp Detector (2N3904 transistor wired as a diode (base-collector shorted)) all replaced and NO FIX to this issue. Lenovo is to call me Monday, July 12th, 2010. I left them my Home Phone number and my Tieline/Outside number at the IBM Plant where I work as a Contractor (I am an IBM Retiree). I want an answer to this business once and for all. <======================== My configuration does use the DisplayPort connection to DVI-D cabling to an Acer X233H Display. My keyboard and mouse are tradtional IBM PS/2 units using a USB-PS/2 adapter cable. Mouse is actually from a 1996 IBM Aptiva wireless mouse. (Wow, we had that back then?) I am thinking of ordering the PS/2 Knockout cable that plugs into the M58p 7483 motherboard to accommodate a direct PS/2 mouse and keyboard operation. (The Lenovo P/S2 cable is 43N9146 $16.50-US is in the HMM.) I'll post here if I can get some answers. (Otherwise, Lotus Notes are going to start flying!) By the way, when the fan is running at 650 RPM's, the fan speed is affected by the ambient temp of the Temp Sensor. If i hold the transistor with my fingers covering it, its temp goes up to 35C and the fan speeds up to around 1200 RPM's. When I let go, it drops to around 27C and the fan returns to 650 RPM's or so. There is some intelligence there. BUT I do see that the "CPU die" temp as reported by SpeedFan 4.40 is a NEGATIVE number (-63C). I suspect that this might be a limitation of the SpeedFan 4.40 freeware (but is it?). More to Come.......
Have a system M58, won't boot, post, no video, but loud fan. I reseated ram, nothing, reseated motherboard cables, nothing, removed CMOS battery for 2 minutes, now is booting just fine. Will run PC Doctor tests to determine if there are any other issues.
I have the same issue.
I contacted the Lenovo support, they first send me a new thermal sense cable, but replacing it did not help anything. (In case you need a thermal sens cable please contact me)
Today the technical support replaced the motherboard, but the fan is still very loud. The technical support told me the noise is normal, but I am very sure that a computer today should not be that loud. I am running Ubuntu Linux.

Building Back-end Data and Services for Windows 8 Apps: OData - Part 2
Building Back-end Data and Services for Windows 8 Apps: OData - Part 2
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
In part 1 of this post , I showed how to create a SQL database in Windows Azure, create a schema for adding leaderboard functionality to a game, create an Entity Framework model for the database, and then create and test a WCF Data Service on top of the model that provides a rich REST-style interaction model with great query support via OData. If you have not yet read part 1, you should do so before continuing.
And if you want to follow along, but don't yet have a Windows Azure account, you you can sign up for a 90-day trial that will give you everything you need.
If you'd like some back story on the games I'm planning to use to demonstrate the leaderboard service, check out this post.
In this second part, I'll show you:
- How I deploy the OData service to Windows Azure
- How I wire up my Windows 8 JavaScript games, Space Cadet and Catapult Wars, to the leaderboard service.
Deploying the Service
Now, I could start integrating the service into our games using the local version of the service, but since the service is pretty simple and I'm confident that it'll do what I want, let's go ahead and publish the service to Windows Azure, and use the published URI for the client app.
If you've never published a cloud service to Windows Azure, or it's been a while since you've used the Visual Studio tools for Azure, you'll be pleasantly surprised by how easy it is. All that's required is a one-time setup of the publishing credentials, which I'll start by right-clicking my Cloud project and selecting Publish…
For the first-time I'm publishing, I need to map my project to the Azure subscription I want to publish to, and since I haven't yet set up a subscription, I'll click the "Sign in to download credentials link" to set that up first. That takes me to the following page on the Windows Azure site, which also prompts me to download a .publishsettings file containing a certificate that Visual Studio needs for the publishing process:
Once I've downloaded the file (making note of where I saved it), I need to go back to Visual Studio, and click the Import…button, then browse to the .publishsettings file I downloaded in the previous step, and click the Open button. This should populate the drop-down with the new subscription information, so I can click Next. Since my subscription does not yet contain any cloud services to publish to, I'm prompted for a service name and a location where I'd like my service published, which I've populated in the dialog below:
Once I click OK, I'm greeted with a page in the publishing wizard that allows me to specify the settings for my service, as shown below:
Note that if I already had a service in production, I could change the Environment to Staging so that I could test the service prior to promoting it to Production. I can also choose to enable Remote Desktop access for my roles, if I want to have more control over the service configuration, or if I need to install any additional components for my service. There are additional settings under the advanced tab, but these are beyond the scope of this post. For my purposes, the defaults will do fine, so now I can either click Next to see a summary of the publish setttings I've chosen (and, if desired, save these as a profile for future use, which will enable faster future deployments), or just click the Publish button to publish my service.
When I click the Publish button, Visual Studio builds my project, and begins the deployment process, providing the status in the Windows Azure Activity Log window, as shown below:
Once the log reports Complete, the Website URL above will be populated with the URL for the web role, where the service lives, in the form of http://servicename.cloudapp.net/. I'll click the link to test the service is active.
Unfortunately, the first time I tried this, I ran into the generic ASP.NET error screen (aka the yellow screen of death). If you run into this screen, you'll need to disable custom errors in web.config, and deploy a version of your cloud service using debug mode to see the detailed error information. Turns out that in my case, I had a conflict between the default version number for a WCF Service that was configured in the markup of the .svc file, and the version being loaded from the bin directory. After a quick bing search, I found this blog post, which discusses the process of bin deploying WCF Data Services, and provides a couple of different workarounds, one of which was simply removing the version information from the markup, which I did. Once I deployed the new version, my service was up and running just the same as it was when I ran it locally. Awesome!
Wiring up the Leaderboard Client App
One goal I have for this series of blog posts, and the accompanying data, is to make the leaderboard code as minimally intrusive to the basic game logic as possible. To that end, I'm planning to define all of the leaderboard logic in a single JavaScript file, with the functionality exposed to the client game using the WinJS namespace functionality, as in the following code example:
WinJS.Namespace.define("Leaderboard", { setPlayerName: setPlayerName, init: init, addWin: incrementWins, addLoss: incrementLosses, addTie: incrementTies, updateScore: updateHighScore, getTopTenScores: getTopTenScores, getTopTenWins: getTopTenWinLossTie, leaderboardList: leaderboardList });This allows me to expose a consistent API for leaderboard functionality, accessible by using the namespace Leaderboard, followed by the desired API member. So to initialize the leaderboard, I would call Leaderboard.init(args). A big advantage here is that the game itself doesn't have to know anything about the underlying implementation of the leaderboard logic, and it's pretty straightforward for me to change the internal logic of each of the functions to use a different back-end service without changing the code in the game itself (which is precisely what I'll be doing in future posts on using ASP.NET Web API and Windows Azure Mobile Services to provide similar back-end services).
Additionally, the IntelliSense lookup displays a comment which appears on the line prior to the function for that API as the description for the function. Makes it very convenient to add some simple documentation for your API.
As you can see from the code listing above, the API supports two basic types of score tracking…high score and win/loss/tie record. For the latter, we have functions to add a win, loss, or tie to the existing record, and for high score, we have a function to update the player's score (assuming it's higher than the existing high score for that player). Then, since we might want to display the current leaderboard information, we have a couple of functions that return the list of high scores, or the Win/Loss/Tie records for the current game. Both of these functions update an internal variable named leaderboardList, which is exposed as an API member with the same name.
Initializing the Leaderboard
I'll start by declaring most of my variables up-top. Since JavaScript uses something called hoisting, which treats variable declarations anywhere within a given scope as if they were declared at the top of the function…BUT if the line where the variable is declared also includes initialization, the initialization is not hoisted, which can result in some tricky situations to debug. It's a good practice to declare all variables at the top of the function scope in which they're used:
var leaderboardClient, xhrOptions, leaderboardList, scores, playerName, gameName, currentPlayerScore, diag;
Next comes the init function, which the game provides with the game and player names, and which checks to ensure that at least one score record exists and if not, intializes the leaderboard with a blank score record for that player/game combo. Note that in the interest of simplicity, I have not added any code to ensure that the game/player combo is unique across all possible clients of the leaderboard service.
// player and game are required for initialization function init(player, game) { return new WinJS.Promise( function (completed, error, progress) { if (player) { playerName = player; } else { error("Player Name is required for initialization"); } if (game) { gameName = game; } else { error("Game Name is required for initialization"); } // replace with the URI for your custom service leaderboardClient = { baseUri: "http://[YOUR SERVICE URI]/GameLeaderServiceOData.svc/Scores", query: "?$filter=Game eq '" + gameName + "' and Player eq '" + playerName + "'" }; // get score record for the current game/player xhrOptions = { url: leaderboardClient.baseUri + leaderboardClient.query, headers: { "Accept": "application/json;" } }; WinJS.xhr(xhrOptions).done(function (results) { var gameScore; scores = JSON.parse(results.responseText); if (!scores.value[0]) { // create initial leaderboard entry gameScore = { Game: gameName, Player: playerName, Score1: 0, Wins: 0, Losses: 0, Ties: 0 }; xhrOptions = { data: JSON.stringify(gameScore), headers: { "Content-type": "application/json; charset=utf-8" }, type: "post", url: leaderboardClient.baseUri }; WinJS.xhr(xhrOptions).done(function (results) { completed(); }, function (e) { error(e); }); } else { completed(); } }, function (e) { error(e); }); }); }
In this function, I'm showing a slight variation on the promise pattern. This time, I declare a variable called scorePromise that is passed the result of calling getCurrentPlayerScore. In line 3, I then call .done, passing in the function I want called as usual. This code just makes what's happening (getCurrentPlayerScore returns a Promise object) a little more explicit, and may aid readability of my code. In line 4 above, I check to see if the new score passed into the function is higher than the score returned by getCurrentPlayerScore via the promise object, and if so, call updateScoreRecord, passing it the currentScore object.
NOTE: In the code above, you might notice that I'm checking "Score1", when you might expect from the schema I showed in part 1 of this post, which had a column named "Score," that the property should be "Score". Well, this happened because of the way that I named the table ("Scores") and column ("Score"), and the fact that in the process of building the Entity Framework model, the default is to singularize the entity names, so the entity in the model representing the Scores table is called "Score". Because you can't have an entity with a property name that is the same as the entity name, Entity Framework helpfully renamed the property "Score1" and WCF Data Services provides the same property on the Score object.
Here's the code for updateScoreRecord:
function updateScoreRecord(newScoreRecord) { xhrOptions = { data: JSON.stringify(newScoreRecord), headers: { "Content-type": "application/json; charset=utf-8", "X-HTTP-Method": "MERGE" }, type: "post", url: leaderboardClient.baseUri + "(" + newScoreRecord.Id + ")" }; WinJS.xhr(xhrOptions).done(function (results) { showMessage("Leaderboard Updated."); }, function (e) { showMessage("Leaderboard could not be updated."); }); }
This function takes the score record passed in from updateHighScore, prepares it for submitting using JSON.stringify, and then make the result the data property of the xhrOptions object. I also pass in a Content-type header to specify that I'm sending JSON data, as well as the X-HTTP-Method header with the value of "MERGE". This tells the OData service to update the specified record with any properties provided, while leaving any unspecified values unchanged. You can read more about updating records via OData here.
Updating the high score from the game code is fairly straightforward, requiring only passing in the score to update:
That's all that's needed to wire up the functionality to store and update score records for a given game (in this case, Space Cadet). For Space Cadet, and similar games that allow the player to change their player name, I also added a function to update the player name, and there are functions to increment the Wins, Losses, and Ties properties for games that keep score using those values instead of a numeric high score. And for Catapult Wars, I can use the exact same JavaScript library. The only change needed is to call Leaderboard.addWin or Leaderboard.addLoss, depending on whether the player wins or loses the game.
Adding the Leaderboard Page
Of course, having all this leaderboard info doesn't do me a lot of good if I don't show it off every now and then, so to remedy that, I added a folder to my project called Leaderboard, and added to it a new Page control (which adds a matched set of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files) called Leaderboard.html. Here's what the markup looks like for Space Cadet:
<!DOCTYPE html>   <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>Leaderboard</title>  <link href="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/css/ui-dark.css" rel="stylesheet" />   <link href="leaderboard.css" rel="stylesheet" />

 Player:

 Score:

  <button id="backButton" class="win-backbutton" aria-label="Back" type="button"></button> Leaderboard

It simply sets up a WinJS.UI.ListView control that I'll use for databinding the score results from the service, with a template that displays each player name along with their score. There's also a back button to return the player to the game once they're done looking at the leaderboard.
Here's the accompanying JS code:
// For an introduction to the Page Control template, see the following documentation: // http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=232511 (function () { "use strict"; var appdata = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData; var playerName = appdata.current.roamingSettings.values["playerName"] var gameName = "Space Cadet" WinJS.UI.Pages.define("/leaderboard/leaderboard.html", { // This function is called whenever a user navigates to this page. It // populates the page elements with the app's data. ready: function (element, options) { // TODO: Initialize the page here. document.getElementById("backButton").addEventListener("click", goBack, false); Leaderboard.init(playerName, gameName); Leaderboard.getTopTenScores().done( function (leaderList) { title.textContent = gameName +" Top 10"; leaderListView.winControl.itemDataSource = leaderList.dataSource; } ); }, unload: function () { // TODO: Respond to navigations away from this page. }, updateLayout: function (element, viewState, lastViewState) { /// <param name="element" domElement="true" /> // TODO: Respond to changes in viewState. } }); function goBack() { location.href = "/default.html"; } })();
Note that for Space Cadet, I'm leveraging the roaming settings support in Windows 8, which means that wherever I have the game installed, my player name will follow me, as long as I'm logged in with the same Microsoft Account. In the ready function, I first bind the click event of the back button to the goBack function, which simply reloads default.html. Next, I call Leaderboard.init (to ensure the leaderboard has been properly initialized for the game), and then call Leaderboard.getTopTenScores, and provide a function to be called when this operation is complete. In that function, I set the title of the leaderboard page to the name of the game plus "Top 10", and finally set the itemDataSource of the ListView control to the dataSource property of the WinJS.Binding.List passed in to the function from getTopTenScores. Add a little CSS for formatting, and here's the result:
Nothing fancy, I'll admit, but it gets the job done. Here's the code for the getTopTenScores function:
function getTopTenScores() { return new WinJS.Promise( function (completed, error, progress) { // get top ten scores for the current game xhrOptions = { url: leaderboardClient.baseUri + "?$filter=Game eq '" + gameName + "'&$orderby=Score1 desc&$top=10", headers: { "Accept": "application/json;" } }; WinJS.xhr(xhrOptions).done(function (results) { scores = JSON.parse(results.responseText); if (!scores.value[0]) { // throw exception...no score found error("No score record found!"); } else { leaderboardList = new WinJS.Binding.List(scores.value); completed(leaderboardList); } }, function (e) { showMessage(e); }); }); }
A couple of things to note are the use of the $orderby and $top query parameters, which help organize the data in the way I need it for the leaderboard (you might also notice that I don't have a full 10 records in my database yet, but if I had more than 10 records, this query would only return the top 10), and that I'm not using the player name in the query this time, since I actually want to get scores for all players for this game.
Again, I'm returning a WinJS.Promise object, and if the xhr operation is successful, I create a new WinJS.Binding.List object based on the scores retrieved, and pass it to the completed function, which allows the Leaderboard.html page to bind it to the ListView control on the page. The leaderboard page for Catapult Wars looks almost identical, but in this case, I'm calling Leaderboard.getTopTenWins, and binding the Wins property in the ListView:
Wrap-upSo in this pair of posts, you've seen how I created a new SQL database in Windows Azure, defined a schema for the data, used Entity Framework to create a model of the data, and wrapped that in a WCF Data Service, providing a powerful, but simple URL-based query syntax that I can use to interact with my service. You've also seen how I created a single JavaScript library that used the WinJS namespace functionality to expose a simple API that can be used by multiple games to interact with the leaderboard service.
As noted in the overview post for this series, there are both advantages and disadvantages to this approach to building back-end services:
Mature platform – SQL Server, Entity Framework, and WCF Data Services have each been around for numerous versions, and have had time to improve and grow over that time. Maturity also means greater familiarity for .NET developers.
Data format options – can return data in XML (ATOM) or JSON format.
Customizable – implementing custom logic can be done in a variety of ways, including attributes, custom code in the WCF data service, and exposing stored procedures as Service Operations.
Query flexibility – thanks to OData's powerful query syntax, requesting and submitting data is easily accomplished by building the appropriate URL and making simple HTTP requests.
Complexity – as you might have noticed from the length of this blog post, there are quite a few steps to getting this set up, and a number of layers. While this means more points at which the service may be customized, it also increases the overall complexity of the solution.
No client library for JavaScript apps – while there is direct support in XAML-based Windows Store apps for working with OData services, there is no official support for OData services in JavaScript apps. As you have seen, it's pretty easy to build xhr requests that access the service, but this approach may seem rather foreign to anyone who's used an OData client library, many of which use LINQ-style syntax for performing operations on the service, treating the service more like a local object, and which hide the underlying HTTP complexities from the developer.
So is this the right approach for your app? The answer, of course, is "it depends." You can certainly build a robust, scalable, and easy-to-use service back-end for your Windows Store app or game using the techniques I've illustrated here. But there are other, simpler approaches that you may want to consider as well.
What's Next?
In the next part of this series, I'll show another approach to building back-end services, as I take on building this same game leaderboard service using the new ASP.NET Web API.
While you're waiting, consider signing up for Generation App. There are lots of great resources available for building Windows 8 apps (and now for Windows Phone 8 as well). It's free, and you control how often updates are sent, so there's no good reason to pass it up. Sign up now!

With the official start of hot dish season Thursday, the migration of cooks inside from their grills to their ranges commences.
At least that's what I'm cooking. Sure, a couple times a year, we clear out the racks to accommodate a turkey and ham. Or you might be a bread-baker. (I'm more of a meatloaf-maker, myself.)
But I'd venture that most of you most the time need the height of just one rack.
So why do you need to use such a big oven all time? You don't, which is we're seeing more kitchens with double oven ranges and more brands making them. Using the smaller oven means you preheat faster, use less energy and, best of all, don't have to bend down so far to put in/pull out your pans.
Here's a roundup:

WINSTON-SALEM � BB&T said Thursday that its net income rose 7 percent in the second quarter as it made more money from fees and credit quality and loan delinquencies improved.
For the period ended June 30, the regional banking company earned $547 million, or 77 cents per share. That compares with $510 million, or 72 cents per share, a year earlier.
Analysts predicted earnings of 74 cents per share, according to a FactSet poll.
Chairman and CEO Kelly King said it was the strongest quarterly earnings in BB&T Corp.'s history.
Revenue for the Winston-Salem, N.C., company edged up 1 percent to $2.5 billion from $2.47 billion. This topped the $2.46 billion that Wall Street expected.
Net interest income, or earnings from loans and deposits, declined to $1.45 billion from $1.5 billion.
Non-interest income, which comes from fees and other items, rose to $1.05 billion from $966 million.
Provision for credit losses, excluding covered loans, fell to $179 million from $247 million in the first quarter as credit quality continued to improve. Provision for credit losses is the money set aside to cover soured loans.
Net charge-offs, excluding covered loans, dropped to $215 million from $275 million in the first quarter. These charge-offs are loans written off as uncollectible. BB&T said that the net charge-offs were at the lowest point since 2008's second quarter.
Loan delinquencies also continued to improve. Loans that were 30 to 89 days past due and still accruing fell to $940 million from $956 million in the first quarter. This excluded loans guaranteed by the government. Loans 90 days past due and still accruing, excluding those with a government guarantee, declined to $123 million from $$138 million in the first quarter.
BB&T runs 1,851 financial centers in 12 states and Washington D.C.

we joked that the second sweeper
Boston, MA (SportsNetwork. John Franklin-Myers Rams Jersey .com) - The Boston Red Sox and San Diego Padres have made a deal. On Friday night, the BoSox formally announced the acquisition of catcher Ryan Hanigan in exchange for third baseman Will Middlebrooks. The Padres picked up Hanigan from Tampa Bay as part of the 11-player deal consummated earlier on Friday that also landed them outfielder Wil Myers. However, San Diego had already added another catcher in Derek Norris from Oakland on Thursday to make Hanigan trade bait. Middlebrooks became expendable in Boston after the Red Sox signed Pablo Sandoval as a free agent earlier this offseason. The Padres were reportedly also in the running for Sandoval. Hanigan hit just .218 in 84 games last season, his first in Tampa Bay after playing the first seven years of his career in Cincinnati. The 34-year-old veteran, who has played more than 100 games in a season just once, is a career. 256 hitter with 25 homers and 172 RBI in 558 games. Middlebrooks was projected to be Bostons future third baseman after a 2012 season in which he batted .288 with 15 homers and 54 RBI in 75 games as a rookie. He struggled in 2013, hitting .227 with 17 homers in 94 games, and last year hit just .191 in 63 games as he split time between Triple-A Pawtucket and Boston. Sam Shields Rams Jersey . Finlands Kari Lehtonen made 26 saves to lead Dallas over the Phoenix Coyotes 2-1 Saturday night. He received plenty of help from the Stars defence and got goals from Ray Whitney and Russias Valeri Nichushkin. Marcus Peters Jersey . The team announced the defensive coordinator will not be offered a contract extension. MONTREAL -- Kesa Van Oschs British Columbia team feels good now about their choice of veteran Patti Knezevic to serve as alternate at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. With Van Osch out with a flu bug that has been rampaging through the tournament, Knezevic stepped in to lead B.C. (4-3) to a pair of victories on Tuesday before 1,131 at the Maurice Richard Arena. B.C. downed Allison Flaxeys Ontario team 7-3 in the morning draw and then saw Knezevic draw to the button with her final stone to beat Sarah Koltun of the Yukon 8-7 in the afternoon. "We wanted someone with a lot of experience as our fifth player because weve watched the Scotties for years and this happens (often) that the flu goes around," said B.C. third Stephanie Baier. "We wanted someone who could come in at any position so we wouldnt have to shuffle around and wed stay at our comfort level." The illness kept six players out of the morning draw, when Saskatchewans Stefanie Lawton downed Quebec (1-6) 8-4 with only three players on her team. Van Osch was the lone player missing in the afternoon, but then her lead Carley Sandwith had to quit after two ends, leaving them with only three. Quebec was missing second Brittany ORourke in the morning. They got her back for the afternoon session, only to see her leave again after eight ends. "She threw up in the third and the sixth ends, and finally got off the ice," Ross said of her teammate. "Were in contamination mode." In the evening draw, Team Canadas Rachel Homan improved to 6-0 with a 10-3 win over Nova Scotias Heather Smith (2-5). Nova Scotia was also missing coach Peter Gallant to sickness. Manitobas Chelsea Carey and Lawton are tied for second place with 5-1 records. Carey cruised past the Yukon 10-4, while Lawton defeated P.E.I. 7-3. In the other late match, New Brunswicks Andrea Crawford earned a 7-4 victory against Ontario. The last time a Scotties was disrupted by a flu bug was in 2012 in Red Deer, Alta. This time, the sickness is striking players, coaches and officials at random with an illness that seems to last about 24 hours. B.C.s young squad from Victoria looked to be in trouble when they started the tournament at 2-3 and it only looked worse when Van Osch went down. But gritty work by a relatively healthy Baier and second Jessie Sanderson and Knezevics steady hand put the team back in the hunt for a playoff spot. When Team Van Osch won the B.C. provincial championships last month to earn their first trip to the Scotties, they immediately asked Knezevic to be their fifth player. "It was an unexpected call, for sure," said Knezevic, who maade it to the B. Los Angeles Rams Jerseys. C. final three times but had never got to the Scotties. "I was very honoured. "I was just hoping that I could bring a bit of experience and support and be able to step in if needed." Baier said that if Van Osch is able to play Wednesday she will return as the skip and that Knezevic would go back to being the alternate. If Sandwith cant play, Knezevic will play lead. "We decided as a team that I would play wherever a player stepped out of, so no situation would be a surprise to us," Knezevic said. "We knew going in that Carley was not well and shed give it her best shot. "Then we just had to make the transition. The girls have been great. We were trying to be as positive as we could and work together with what we had. I think that was the ticket." When a team has only three players, the first two throw three stones each and the skip throws two. It means that most of time, only one player can sweep. It wasnt easy for B.C., as 20-year-old Koltun scored two in the ninth to take a 7-6 lead, then left Knezevic with a tricky draw for two in the 10th. Baier jumped in at the end to help Sanderson in some furious sweeping to get the winning rock to the button. Saskatchewan was in the same boat when second Sherri Singler and third Sherry Anderson were unable to play. Lawton got an early morning call from coach Rick Folk to say that Singler was sick, and later learned that Anderson was down as well. "You plan for the worst, but this scenario of having two players out didnt come up, so we just had to go with it," said Lawton. "The girls jumped right in and felt comfortable with the positions they were thrown into." Marliese Kasner moved up from lead to play third, while alternate Dailene Sivertson stepped in to lead and do most of the sweeping. "The girls did a great job," said Lawton. "Its different when you only have one sweeper. "You want to give it a bit more so they dont have to work too hard, but we managed to pull through and come through with a win. The girls played great in positions theyre not used to." Kasner said she played third on Lawtons teams at the 2005 and 2009 Scotties, so it was a quick adjustment. "It was different," she said. "We knew there would be just one sweeper so we joked that the second sweeper doesnt do much anyhow. We threw like we would in any other game and didnt think about having one less sweeper. We just went shot by shot." A nervy moment came in the seventh end, when Lawton made a clever draw into three Quebec stones to prevent a steal.

With early failures forcing me to reshuffle my Cookie list, I turned to my trusted cookbook for all things cookies, Martha Stewart's Cookies. I've poured through this book time and time again, marking pages I want to try and just drooling over the pictures. But in the nearly 3 years I've had the book, there was one cookie I had yet to try. One cookie that continuously stared me in the face, begging me to make them. That one perfectly gooey, beautiful cookie on the front cover—the Chewy Chocolate Gingerbread Cookie. So when I was desperate for a replacement to add to the list, they finally got to take their turn in the oven.
One part gingerbread, one part chocolate chip cookie, all kinds of good. I had to hide them in the bag I take to work to keep myself from eating half the batch before I got to share them. I just kept going back for more! And everyone at worked seemed to like them too. I was passing them out before I even made it to the break room, and they were cleaned out within an hour and a half!
I will say though, they didn't look anything like the perfect picture on the front cover of the book. From that, they look to be these flat, chewy, gorgeously gooey standard sized cookies. Mine? When I followed the directions exactly (chilling the dough, rolling it into balls, and chilling them again before baking), I got tiny little humped blobs. Tasty little blobs, but nothing like the pretty Martha cookies. So the next round in the oven, I skipped the "chill the rolled balls of dough in the fridge for 20 minutes" step and threw them straight in the oven. Most of them still came out on the small side, but they flattened out a bit more at least. But regardless of how they looked, they were delicious and I'll definitely make them again!
Adapted from Martha Stewart's Cookies
Makes 2 dozen (I actually got closer to 3, but my cookies came out small)
1 ½ cups plus 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
½ cup unsulfured molasses
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons boiling water
¾ cup chocolate chunks, or 7 ounces of semisweet chocolate, cut into ¼-inch chunks
¼ cup granulated sugar
1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and cocoa. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add molasses; beat until combined.
3. In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in boiling water. Beat in half the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Beat in baking soda mixture, then add remaining half of flour mixture, beating until just combined. Mix in chocolate. Turn dough out onto plastic wrap and pat into a 1-inch thick disk; seal with wrap. Refrigerate until firm, 2 hours or up to overnight.*
4. Preheat oven to 325F. Roll dough into 1 ½-inch balls, roll in granulated sugar, and place on prepared cookie sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake, rotating halfway through, until surfaces start to crack, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
*Note: I've never had serious issues with skipping the chilling dough step, so you may be able to roll and bake the cookies immediately after mixing. I did end up chilling the dough for this one, and had cookies that didn't spread so much, so next time I'm going to try skipping the chill to see if they'll flatten out a bit more.

PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico - The UCSB women's basketball handily downed Mississippi State, 60-43, on Wednesday afternoon in the second round of the Hardwood Tournament of Hope being held at the Puerto Vallarta International Convention Center.
With the victory, the Gauchos advance to Thursday's fifth place game and will face the winner between Missouri State and University of Central Florida at 1:30 p.m. (Pacific Time).
UCSB now stands at 2-2 on the season while MSU falls to 2-3.
The Gauchos were led by several standout performances. Senior Angelei Aguirre was undoubtedly the player of the game, with tremendous play on both sides of the ball. She finished with a career-high 11 points, three assists and two rebounds. Senior Sweets Underwood led all players with a double-double, posting a season-high 13 points to go along with 12 rebounds. Junior Melissa Zornig also posted a season-best 13 points and tied Aguirre with a team-leading three assists.
Mississippi State opened the game with a 6-0 run, but the Gauchos did not trail for long. Starting her first game of her senior season, Aguirre got UCSB on the board when she stole the ball, streaked down the court and put up a layup while being fouled. She quickly sunk her free throw, cutting the MSU lead in half.
Aguirre's three-point play was the beginning of an 11-0 run that the Gauchos used to take the lead, which they never relinquished.
In the first half, the Gauchos limited MSU to just 20% shooting from the field, but the Bulldogs capitalized on their opportunities at the charity stripe as they went 8-for-8 led by Martha Alwal, who went 6-for-6 from the free throw line in the first half.
A pair of free throws by Alwal late in the first half cut the Gaucho lead to one with 1:09 to go, but UCSB responded with a 5-0 run that put them up, 26-20, heading into the locker rooms.
The Gauchos' late run extended into the opening minutes of the second half as they climbed out to a 12-point lead three minutes in. UCSB continued to build upon that lead as Destini Mason put up eight of her 10 points in the second half and Zornig posted eight of her 13. UCSB shot 60% from the field in the half and 53.3% for the game.
With a layup from Aguirre with 1:34 to go, UCSB had achieved its biggest lead of the game and of the season at 58-36.
MSU was able to go on a 7-2 run at the end of the game, including a three pointer by Jessy Ware that just beat the buzzer, but the Gauchos had long ago closed the door as they cruised to the 60-43 victory.
The Gauchos limited the Bulldogs to just 22.4% shooting during the game and out-rebounded MSU, 33-23.
"I think our kids just understood the game plan," said head coach Carlene Mitchell. "We knew they were great athletes and that they could create their own shots, so we tried not to foul them. It looked like they still got to the free throw line a bit, so we need to do a better job on our interior defense. I am excited about how the kids responded and played today."
The 17-point win marks the Gauchos' largest margin of victory since they defeated Loyola Marymount last season, 66-49, on Nov. 19. The win is also the first against an SEC team since UCSB defeated Ole Miss in 2007. The Gauchos are now 6-10 all-time against schools from that conference.
Tomorrow's game against Missouri State or University of Central Florida at the Hardwood Tournament of Hope will be broadcast live on KZSB AM 1290 in Santa Barbara beginning at 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time. It can also be heard online here.
UCSB will return home on Tuesday, Nov. 27 to host USC in a 7 p.m. game at the Thunderdome. Season tickets and single game tickets for women's basketball are available at the Ticket Office in the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus, by calling 805-893-UCSB (8272) or online by clicking here.

We want to help, even need to help, but then we wonder and worry: I'm just one soul. What can I really do? How can I hope to assist? What difference will my small efforts make in this one big, ugly, awful outcome?
"I always wondered why somebody didn't do something about that; then I realized that I am somebody." Lily Tomlin
What can I, as just one person, do?
That's a natural question to ask in our world and country and communities. Just days after two devastating hurricanes swept through the Gulf Coast and the Caribbean and Florida, leaving a path of unprecedented destruction in their wake. Houston after Harvey: 50 inches of rain, 530 square miles flooded (twice the area of Chicago) and 40,000 homes damaged or destroyed. The Caribbean: where 95 percent of one island, St. Martin, was almost completely wiped away, stripped bare, right down to the sand. And then Florida, where at the height of Irma's howling winds, America's third most populous state was under a hurricane warning from the Keys in the far south all the way up to Tallahassee in the Panhandle, making for the largest evacuation in our nation's history, 5.6 million people on the move, fleeing.
Statistics like these can rightly cause us as individuals to spiritually and emotionally lock up, shut down, and become overwhelmed by so much human pain and suffering and hurt. We just can't take it all in, can't comprehend the scope and scale of the tragedy. Too many bad things happening much too fast and in way too short a time.
We want to help, even need to help, but then we wonder and worry: I'm just one soul. What can I really do? How can I hope to assist? What difference will my small efforts make in this one big, ugly, awful outcome?
Here's one answer: fueled by faith, proved by experience and founded in hope. You can absolutely make a difference by what you now choose to do, after the storms. Act: refuse to be overwhelmed by the bad news. Pray: hold those in peril in your heart. Donate: money or fresh water or disposable diapers, whatever is needed. Organize: take a group and travel to the flood- and storm-lashed places and then swing a hammer and help to rebuild. For even worse than a natural disaster or a local disaster, someone in need far away or right next door, are human inaction, human complacency and human weariness. The twin emotions of despair and cynicism can always trick us into thinking that our lives do not matter all that much. That "one" is the loneliest and most powerless number in the world.
What can one child of God do to change the world for the good? What will you do?
The story is told of a young girl walking along a beach on which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement. She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, "Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can't save all these starfish. You can't begin to make a difference!" The girl seemed crushed, deflated. But after a few moments, she bent back down, picked up another starfish, and then hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and said, "Well, I made a difference for that one!"
This is how the world is made and remade for the good, after a storm, in how each one of us choose to live and give and love. We can save one starfish, feed one hungry person, love one orphaned child, house one homeless family and help one hurricane battered soul when we act with mercy and compassion. Judaism describes this work and belief as "Tikkun Olam," which translates as, "to repair the world". God knows and we know that this fragile and beautiful world is always broken and is always in need of rebuilding and renewal.
We can't do everything. But as citizens and neighbors, we can do something. That clear choice and brave commitment is up to each one of us. I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and open my wallet and begin to make repairs. Now that the sun has come back out, it's clear there is so much to do.
Can we really make a difference? Yes! Let's get to work.

Treasure IslandBook - 2009
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
An all-time classic. Recommended reading for all ages. Let your imagination run wild. A terrific story with memorable characters.
Originally published back in 1883 - "Treasure Island" is an adventure novel written by Scottish-born author, Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894).
In this volume Stevenson narrates a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold." This book's influence is enormous on popular perceptions of pirates, including such elements as treasure maps marked with an "X," schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen bearing parrots on their shoulders.
"Treasure Island" was originally considered a coming-of-age story and is noted for its atmosphere, characters, and action. It is one of the most frequently dramatized of all novels. This edition of "Treasure Island" is pleasantly illustrated by Newell Convers Wyeth.
The climax of the story wasn't very clear, actually. I think it could hv been elaborated, but other than that the book had a lot of original ideas , and great character development!
"Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson is as close to a perfect novel as I can imagine. I read it way back when as a kid and loved it. And, yup, I, again, loved it.
I liked the theme of Treasure Island, with knowledge of pirate slang and packed with intense adventures. I also liked the backstory of some characters they meet along the way on random islands.
This is one swashbuckling great adventure story, complete with a one legged pirate, buried treasure and a bottle of rum. I have re-read this many times and have just as much fun with it each time. It is very readable and fairly short. The language is wonderful and worth reading for the dialogue alone.
When a decrepit, eccentric sea captain and his sea chest arrive to stay at an inn run by Jim Hawkins' mother, the young lad finds himself thrust into an old conflict among sailors. The captain is visited numerous times by threatening characters from his seagoing days, eventually culminating in his death and in Jim's and his mother's escape from the inn to safety with the sea chest. In a nearby town Jim presents the squire with a treasure map from the chest, and the squire, with romantic ideas of gentlemanly adventure, immediately procures and ship and a seasoned crew. Before he knows it, Jim is assigned to be the cabin boy on what would ultimately be perhaps one of the most famous adventure voyages in literature.
I hadn't read Treasure Island in my youth, and ended up picking it up on a whim one day at the age of 40. I'm a huge fan of adventure tales, and Treasure Island didn't disappoint, although my 21st-century sensibilities were amazed at the amount of violence and murder accompanying a children's book. Youth, and society in general, were undoubtedly more inured to violence in a way that we are sheltered from for the most part today. The bloodshed didn't necessarily decrease my enjoyment of the book, and in fact probably increased it by way of its relative rebelliousness. Still, I couldn't picture my elementary-school-aged child reading it without offering additional guidance and discussion.
In fairness to this review, I last read Treasure Island in the fifth grade. So this review is tempered by more than two decades of nostalgia. But i remember truly enjoying the book, and I remember not being troubled or bogged down by the language- which was not always the case with classics (time has not been kind to Dickens in my opinion). The book was considered the advanced novel for my fifth grade class, so that may be relevant. But the book remains, along with "Call it Courage" one of my favorite books from my elementary reading lists.
This edition of this classic adventure story would have helped readers by offering a glossary of archaic English words (such as "glim", "tarry gaskin", "blunt", or "moidore") rather than a 'creative' foreword, and 'autobiographical' sketch. In Chapter VI we are told about "... a mere entry of latitude and longitude, as 62.2888 degrees, 19.0444 degrees ..." Typing these coordinates into Google Earth identifies a location in the North Atlantic Ocean about 115km south of Iceland - pretty chilly for buccaneers! Switching the numbers lands 150km northeast of the island of St. Martin, in the Leeward Islands, of the Caribbean Sea - a more likely location for hidden treasure. If you enjoyed this tale download "The Cruise of the Esmeralda" by Harry Collingwood (1851-1922) and "Under Drake's Flag" by George A. Henty (1832-1902) from the Internet Archive.
