Georgia RevivalJuly 13, 2006
The IHT indicates that Georgia is experiencing a comeback on the web:
The Georgia revival then accelerated, as other designers adopted it as an alternative to Verdana. It is featured on several graphic design Web sites, including those of the American Institute of Graphic Arts and the Dutch type foundry Typotheque. At the other end of the spectrum, it is popular on blog design templates, which is why so many bloggers are using it.
Call me cynical, but when the pool of fonts Georgia is dominating totals all of 8 or 9, it strikes me as fairly obvious you could find just as much counter-evidence of Trebuchet or Lucida being the new trendy typefaces. Regardless, it's interesting to see an article on web typography in the Style section of a major publication like IHT.
Georgia has a big problem. You can't tell apart zeros and o's no matter how hard you try. So, it's not useful in every circumstance.
I'm redesigning my blog with Georgia. I think, and this is just one person's opinion, that what it comes down to is people getting sick of Arial or sans-serif fonts. The web took the world by storm and everyone forgot some basic principles of typography and design when the moved over from print. There's no reason to make your fonts 9px Arial #CCC. But designers who have only worked on web designs know no different.
Thanks for pointing this out. When I last redesigned my blog 30 months ago I went to Georgia because it felt friendlier and more legible than the Verdana I had been using previously.
You know, I saw this and didn't think much of it at all, but you're right, it is interesting to note that IHT's covering this stuff.
I believe that the thing about Georgia it's that it's the only serif typography that looks really good. And it's better when it's big & bold!
What I like about serif fonts is that they look better for bigger text on the screen. On my website I leave the standard browser/user-defined font size intact; I use a serif font and it looks nice.
By the way, maybe nobody noticed, but, despite not being part of Microsoft's core fonts for the web, another good serif font you can use and which is consistent both on Mac and Windows (since XP) is Palatino, "Palatino Linotype" on Windows. And I like that font.
I do notice that a lot of web sites use Georgia, but I don't think that it's any more popular than Lucida Grande, or even Verdana.
The big problem with serif fonts is that most Windows users will not see them as intended, because Clear Type is not 'on' by default…
Bruno: I'm with you on that. I don't think of it so much as an alternative to Verdana, but as an alternative to Times. It's also the only web-safe font that includes dropped numerals, which make it kind of swanky for dates and other number-y content.
I've been using Georgia for titles on my blog for a year and a half or so. (with a slight negative character spacing…)
The combination of a big, chunky Georgia for headers and smaller Verdana for the content is a nice trend. As Mike said, it looks a little better if the character-spacing is reined in. Ajaxian.com does a nice job styling their posts like this.
Thanks almost, Darren! Georgia headers and Trebuchet MS was what I used on my site www.jcflyover.com. Verdana is a little too rounded for my taste, and I like the squiggly "g" in Trebuchet.
And you *can* tell the Georgia O's, o's and zeroes apart - the zero is a couple pixels wider than the lowercase o.
Serif fonts do look nice for headers, but when made too small they become distorted and difficult to read, especially with text smoothing turned off.
Some other related font articles:
Does not all depend on what default fonts are available, which fonts are commonly known (how many people except graphic designers know anything substantial about fonts), Georgia looks like a printing typeface. I found this article which could shed a light on some changes about what fonts might be a succes in the near future.
I'd like to note that Tahoma is far better than Verdana in my opinion. It might not scale that good, but all in all it just looks better in most cases.
In terms of accessibility, using serif fonts is not a good idea as they are much more difficult to read, particularly for people with dyslexia.
Read more here:
Pontos people with dyslexia have trouble reading any font, interesting article though glad to see this is making some press but am with Artur, Tahoma is way better than Verdana, but like the article from the Herald reads this is just a fad and everyone using it will move on to something else real soon.

Until this week, iPhone users were essentially limited to a single music store: Apple. The new version of Amazon's app changes that, allowing songs and albums to be purchased and downloaded directly onto the mobile devices — a development that experts say could put pressure on Apple to lower its prices.
Although iPhone owners have been able to download music stored on their Amazon cloud accounts since last fall, that music could not be purchased with an iPhone. The new app enables users to buy music from iPhones and then play them from any Apple or Android device. As a result, "Apple will probably price-match on the top sellers," says e-commerce consultant Bryan Eisenberg. (A spokesman for Apple declined to comment.)
Amazon's digital music prices do tend to be lower than its competitors, says Brian Colello, analyst at Morningstar. For instance, many top-selling albums are cheaper on Amazon than on iTunes. Country singer Tim McGraw's album of "Number One Hits" costs $5 on Amazon's MP3 store, but costs $7.99 on iTunes. British singer Adele's album "21" is $9.99 on Amazon and is $10.99 on iTunes. "If Apple responds like others in the open market it will reduce the price of their music to compete with Amazon," says technology analyst Jeff Kagan. "That said, Apple doesn't typically act the way competitors do."
While it's unlikely Apple can ignore the new competition, other experts say it's unlikely the tech giant will immediately offer steep discounts. Amazon's new MP3 store for Apple customers will likely spur Apple to offer more specials and limited-time offers rather than suddenly slash prices, says Colello.
Amazon AMZN, -0.81% may be willing to wage a price war, Eisenberg says. "Amazon will lose pennies in the short-term for long-term loyalty, but Apple is not a low margin business," he says. In Apple's favor, it has a slightly larger collection. There are 22 million songs are available through Amazon's U.S. MP3 store compared to over 26 million on iTunes.
One thing is almost certain: Analysts say the opening of Amazon's ecosystem – or suite of products — for iPhone users won't be reciprocated by Apple anytime soon. In fact, they say Apple AAPL, +0.00% will only tighten its grip on iTunes. "I highly doubt that iTunes will appear on Android much in the same way that Google Play likely won't appear on iOS," Colello says. The real competition between media software companies like iTunes, Google and Amazon, he says, will come from trying to one-up each other in both content and price.

Land values and rents are heading lower in corn, soybean and wheat country, but no major crash appears to be in store. But many bankers surveyed for two Federal Reserve district reports say they expect further land-value erosion this year with the expected decline in 2014 crop farm income. Meanwhile, some states and regions within them are posting increases.
Values for farmland rated "good" declined 1% from Jan. 1 to April 1 in the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago district. Year-over-year, values rose barely 1%. State numbers differed. Compared to the fourth quarter, farmland values declined 4% in Illinois and Indiana, and they fell 3% in Michigan. Values increased 1% in Iowa and Wisconsin. Year-over-year, Iowa values dropped 2%, Michigan values dropped 1%, Illinois saw no change, Wisconsin values grew 2% and Indiana values experienced an impressive 7% increase.
While values have softened, an early spring rally in corn and soybean prices drew additional interest in bidding by farmers for farmland, especially higher-quality land, the report notes. Moreover, farmers increased their share of farmland acres purchased relative to investors.
Midwest Rents Follow Land Values Lower
Even though rents lagged land values to the upside, both land values and rents have softened in 2014 in the Chicago Federal Reserve District, which includes Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin. Rents declined along a spectrum, from 4% in Illinois to 1% in Michigan and Illinois. Rents and land values shown are adjusted for inflation. Source: Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago's Ag Letter.
Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City show a sharp divide in land values between states dependent on crops versus livestock, reversing a trend in recent years. While non-irrigated farmland dipped 1.4% in value from the fourth quarter of 2013 to the first quarter of 2014, and irrigated land rose just 0.5%, improved fortunes for livestock producers bolstered ranchland values, which increased 2.6%. Some bankers expect cropland values could experience additional easing during the next three months while ranchland values strengthen. Year-over-year data show that ranchland values rose 8.6%, almost double the increase for non-irrigated farmland.
Within the Kansas City district, Oklahoma—more dependent on livestock than many other states—posted year-over-year increases of 13.5% for non-irrigated farmland, 13% for irrigated land and 12.3% for ranchland. Also on the list:
- Kansas: +10.3% non-irrigated, +15.8% irrigated, +6.7% ranchland
- Missouri: +5.5% non-irrigated, +8.3% ranchland
- Nebraska: -1.2% non-irrigated, +2.3% irrigated, +9% ranchland
- Mountain States (Wyoming, Colorado and northern New Mexico): +7.8% non-irrigated, + 5.3% irrigated, +8.3% ranchland
One surprise: Land rents are already headed lower, the Chicago Fed survey shows. Most experts had predicted a greater lag between land value decreases and rents. Cash rents district-wide posted a 2% decline for 2014 relative to 2013, the first average decrease since 1999 and the largest decrease since 1987.
Illinois registered the largest rent decrease at 4%; Iowa rents fell 3%; and Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin rents saw a 1% decline. Adjusting for inflation, cash rental rates decreased about 4%--only the second negative result in the past decade using this measure. "Changes in cash rental rates have tended to lag changes in farmland values, but did not in 2014," according to the report.
By contrast, costs are not going down. Input expenses for corn, soybeans and wheat are not expected to moderate from year-ago levels, the Kansas City Fed report notes. Meanwhile, interest rates have declined.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 31, 2013) – Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) Senior Vice President Matthew Bennett issued the following statement today:
"PhRMA is committed to the principles of the Sunshine Act and continues to believe that careful implementation is essential to ensuring that Sunshine fulfills its objective of usable, transparent, and understandable sharing of information.
"Biopharmaceutical research companies have invested significant resources to ensure compliance with the August 1 data collection deadline. Through efforts such as physicians keeping their National Provider Identifier (NPI) current, we can better ensure that the data is accurate when it is ultimately released by CMS in September 2014.
"Also crucial to the success of the Sunshine Act is ensuring that proper context is given for the data so that the public can understand how these financial relationships contribute to new medical treatments and patient care.
"For example, the discovery of new and improved medicines is dependent on research collaborations between physicians and biopharmaceutical companies. Clinical trials sponsored by biopharmaceutical companies have led to breakthroughs for people suffering from cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Biopharmaceutical companies also help keep physicians current on the latest treatments, new indications, and emerging safety risks. In turn, physicians share first-hand knowledge with biopharmaceutical professionals about patient experiences with their medicines – feedback that is critical to improving patient outcomes.
"Patients rely on advances in medicines to help them live better, healthier lives, and achieving this medical progress requires collaboration between biopharmaceutical research companies and physicians. With proper context, patients can discover how these collaborations are working for better health and better medicine."
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) represents the country's leading innovative biopharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies, which are devoted to discovering and developing medicines that enable patients to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. Since 2000, PhRMA member companies have invested over $500 billion in the search for new treatments and cures, including an estimated $49.5 billion in 2011 alone.

Rik Mayall's funeral will take place on Thursday, with his family asking fans for their thoughts and prayers.
The private ceremony for the star, who died last week aged 56, will be followed by a memorial service which is expected to be held in September.
His widow, Barbara, said: "Knowing the swell of love you all share with us, we would like to let you, the fans, know that we will be having a private family funeral for Rik, as I am sure you will understand.
"We will be burying him at 2pm on Thursday 19 June if you would like to join us in thoughts and prayer at this time.
"Thank you again for all your love and support to all our family. It brings great strength."
The comic and actor collapsed at home in southwest London after what his widow described as an acute cardiac event.
Mayall shot to fame playing poetry-writing anarchist Rick in The Young Ones, and his career also included roles such as Lord Flashheart in Blackadder and the conniving Conservative MP Alan B'Stard in The New Statesman.
Since his death, tributes have flowed in for the performer, who is survived by his wife and three children, Rosie, Sidney and Bonnie. His 2010 World Cup song, Noble England, has gone straight into the top 10 of the UK's official singles chart.
The track, originally recorded for the last World Cup, failed to chart the first time around, but thanks to a social media campaign set up in his memory it went in at number seven on Sunday.
Mayall was born in Harlow, Essex, to drama teacher parents, and launched his comedy career on stage in a duo, the Dangerous Brothers, with long-term collaborator Adrian Edmondson.

The second annual FFA Alumni Roundup will be held Saturday, Nov. 1 at 5:30 p.m. at 976 Old Lair Rd., Cynthiana, (Harrison County School Farm). The meal will be potluck. Meat and drinks will be provided by the Harrison County FFA Chapter. Old scrap books and memorabilia will be on hand for all alumni to reminisce. Several pictures from the past will be on hand for alumni to claim and even explain.
Please RSVP by Oct. 27 to Todd Brannock or Nicki Jones at 234-7117 ext. 2102 or 2104, or email firstname.lastname@example.com, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Harrison County Ag Development Board announces a fall signup for Harrison County with three programs. The programs included in this sign-up period include: Hay and Grain Storage; Water Enhancement; and Cattle Genetics. The cattle genetics program will include Bulls and the Bred heifer program.
* Cynthiana Democrat, April 12, 1951 - "The Harrison Hi Thoroughbreds copped their opening diamond encounter when they racked up an 8-2 victory over the Bourbon County Vocational Hi Tuesday at Paris. Billy Switzer was the winning moundsman, allowing only one safety and no earned runs. His slants were stopped by Eddie Whitson. Whitson and Harold Feeback were credited with two hits each and Gasser accounted for a triple. For the losers, Dailey and Pridemore were on the mound.
There is a strange emotional thing that happens to gardeners as the summer comes to a close. Our gardens look a bit ragged and are beginning to go dormant. By now my enthusiasm for gardening is replaced by my ambitions for what I want my garden to look like next year. It's perfect timing, really, because fall in Kentuckiana is the best time to plant. No more droughts or 90 degree days.
4-H Club organization and
project enrollment in progress
We are meeting with all 4th and 5th graders and middle school students to give them an opportunity to enroll in 4-H for the upcoming year. In addition all high school students grades 9-12, St. Edwards Club and home school students are eligible to participate in 4-H. 4-H has a lot to offer the youth of Harrison County. The goals of 4-H include citizenship development, leadership development and learning how to do many things through 4-H projects and activities.
Monroe Christopher Ogden
Monroe Christopher Ogden was born to Rodney and Mae Ogden of Cynthiana on Aug. 19, 2008 at Harrison Memorial Hospital.
He weighed 6 lbs. 14 oz., and is welcomed by his brother, Rodney 'R.J.' Ogden Jr.
Maternal grandparents are Larry and Inza Croft of Cynthiana and the late Monroe Neace; maternal great-grandparents are the late Corneilus and Martha Neace, Mayme Johnson and the late Hindman Johnson.
I've followed the All-America Selections for as long as I can remember. It was always a designation that my father trusted and we often trialed the plants in our own family garden the year prior to their introduction. Some of the more memorable plants include 'Purple Wave' petunia, 'Magestic Giants' pansy mix, and the 'Profusion' zinnias. Sure, there were memorable vegetables in the past but it seems as though the AAS is responding to the increase in vegetable gardening interest by including more vegetables then ever each year.
10 years ago . . .
Births announced this week are: Victoria-Anne Marie McIntyre, Oct. 1, daughter of James Darrell McIntyre and Stephanie Marie White; Chesney Brooke Taylor, Oct. 19, daughter of Chris and Amy Taylor; John Austin Webb, Sept. 21, son of John A. and Tina Faye Webb.
The site for the MCC/Licking Valley Center was approved and will soon have a permanent home on the Hilltop. The campus will be located across from Harrison County High School and adjoining the vocational school. LVC will receive $2.5 million toward the project by Kentucky Gov. Paul Patton.
Our current weather conditions demand that we rethink some of our fall chores. Fall lawn and tree fertilization should come later this year then normal because of the drought conditions. An application of high nitrogen now would only burn up what little green grass you may have and force trees to work more then they should under stressful conditions.
* Cynthiana Democrat, Oct. 1960 - "Who will buy Monticello and why? These are the questions in the minds of many Cynthianians two days before the palatial residence comes under the auctioneer's hammer Saturday. The sprawling three-story, 27 room Victorian mansion will be sold by Cummins, Renaker, Whalen and Smith realty and auction firm at 10 a.m. on the premises. Monticello, built in 1883, is a Cynthiana landmark and was once a 'showplace of the Commonwealth' by the late Dr. Henry Bromley, who with Mrs. Bromley, held it until their deaths.
Births announced this week are: Colby Tyler Adams, Oct. 6, son of Joe Jr. and Kristin Adams; Dylan Tate Gasser, Sept. 25, son of Shane and Britt Gasser; Robert Therman Linville, Oct. 9, son of Robert and Linnette Linville; Hayden Stuart Switzer, Oct. 10, son of Amanda and Stuart Switzer.

Raffle tickets for beef
As I paddled my rickety rowboat — I was on a rushing river somewhere — a couple of humungous alligators came up underneath, flipped me over and started biting my feet.
I've always hated that about alligators.
It was 2:14 a.m. and thankfully only a dream. I tried going back to sleep, but the alligators were waiting to finish me off so I turned on the TV and listened to four yippy dogs disguised as political commentators discuss the current crisis of the day.
The second annual HIM, Healthy Informed Men, seminar is coming on Tuesday, Oct. 28 at Cynthiana Christian Church. There will be a free chili supper at 5:30 p.m.
"This year we are doing the program in the evening so more men can come," says Don Wynn, committee member. Doors will open at 5 p.m. and the Harrison County Beef Cattle Association will begin serving chili at 5:30 p.m.
Births announced this week are: Samantha Ann Baucom, Oct. 13, daughter of Bridget Cummins and Samuel Baucom; Emery Christopher Collins, Oct. 14, son of James and Tammy Collins; Taylor Jo Fuson, Oct. 14, daughter of Shanna R. Conley and Mark L. Fuson; Chelsey Marlene Kelly, Oct. 14, daughter of Phillip and Lovann Kelly; Mia Christina Pulliam, Oct. 12, daughter of Royce Gaines and Tomi Anna Pulliam; Sydney Leigh Setters, Oct. 8, daughter of Tommy and Tami Setters; Abby Lauren Sparks, Oct. 9, daughter of Greg and Janelle Sparks.
It occurred to me the other day that I have not seen as many intricate spider webs this fall at the farm. I like my spiders, as long as they are not lurking on my shoulder or in my bed. I enjoy seeing them in the garden or in the corner of a window where we can watch their work from indoors. Maybe I am not looking closely enough; perhaps the weather has made them act differently this year?
Americans represent less than five percent of the world's population. Yet we consume nearly one-third of all natural resources used each year . . . and produce a similar percentage of the world's solid waste. In fact, it would require four Earths for everybody on the planet to live the lifestyle of North Americans.

Kitchen confidential: Dan Epstein, Eppie's
The secret to great cooking is... having fun. Get excited about it. If you're enjoying yourself, you're going to make better food.
The secret to success in the restaurant business is... surrounding yourself with great people. I work with wonderful people at Eppie's, and they're directly responsible for our success. Everybody works hard, we have fun, and we get to eat some good food. Maybe every successful business relies on a great team, but I think this is even more true in the restaurant business.
The secret to making Eppie's chicken and dumplings is... reducing the heat on the dumplings at the right time, so they turn out big and fluffy. Also, giving the soup time to thicken, so it turns into a nice, hearty stew.
Eppie's chicken and dumplings
1 1/2 lbs. cooked chicken (This can be white or dark meat, but it needs to be pulled and shredded. I suggest just buying a roasted chicken at the grocery store.)
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (Don't use butter flavor or "flaky layer" dough. The dumplings will not work.)
9 cups chicken broth
1 tbsp parsley leaves
1/4 cup dried onion flakes
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp creole seasoning
1 small pinch white pepper
Shred the chicken by hand, taking care to remove bones and skin.
Cut the uncooked biscuit dough into small pieces. I suggest cutting each biscuit into eighths, but you could do fourths or sixths for even larger dumplings.
In a large pot, bring the broth to a strong boil over high heat.
Add the cut biscuit pieces to the broth. They will immediately puff up. When they're really big and airy, reduce the heat on the pot to medium high. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes. Don't stir.
Add the shredded chicken and spices. Stir and reduce heat to a simmer.
Give it some time to thicken (45 minutes to an hour), stirring occasionally, and serve.

Hi O S,
I really hope Alejandro could go on maintaining the jBPM 4. Maybe we could provide some patch to help him.
16. Re: jBPM 4 is dead?Nenad Popovic Apr 23, 2010 3:17 AM (in response to O S)
Just to support O S and Mark, since we are in the same boat. Instead of talking about jBPM5, JBoss should clarify its position on jBPM4 (roadmap or declare it dead). Can't see how Jboss expects to form a community around jBPM5, when this jBPM4 situation leaves a bitter taste for its users. Kind of remind me of fool me once proverb.
17. Re: jBPM 4 is dead?Javier Alperte Apr 23, 2010 4:32 AM (in response to Nenad Popovic)
Exactly, you have people investing time and money integrating and deploying jBPM 4 in their production environments, and its not fair not to explain - without any kind of ambiguity - what is going to happen with the jBPM4, knowing that the new jBPM5 will we completely different to the actual API.Things like that you don't expect to happen in organizations like Red Hat.Please be clear and direct as soon as possible in order to allow us take the best and painless decision, maybe we have to come back to the 3.x branch or find other alternatives.
18. Re: jBPM 4 is dead?akana rika Apr 23, 2010 5:09 AM (in response to Javier Alperte)
i am very curious of where do the two top developers have gone? I can't understand why the jboss want to discard such a excellent framework in such a short time. From the day it was issued, it is hardly more than 1 year.
19. Re: jBPM 4 is dead?Eric D. Schabell Apr 23, 2010 5:54 AM (in response to Javier Alperte)
I don't understand why you would have used jBPM 4 for production projects without realizing there is no Enterprise support for it. You get what you see, an open source project with no assurances of anything going forward. In this way of working you are dependent on the community for all future direction, communication and support.
Jboss.org is a hosting location, but the Products that come from here are the ones you want to look at for Enterprise support in your production environments. Go over to jboss.com for these. There you have assurances that the Product versions will be supported for 7 years going forward. If you use the last released versions of jBPM (v3.2.x) in the JBoss SOA-P Product you will be sure up to 2017. Sorry for the short sales-ish stuff, but it is just to clarify the point.
All that being said, jBPM5 planning is to get it into some shape that can be moved into a Product and appear on jboss.com in a product form, including Enterprise support.
I am about to post my reaction to the request for comments. I have a long history with jBPM v3 as an enterprise developer before joining Red Hat, watch for it.
I personally think that a lot of jBPM 4 will be leveraged moving towards the future, but in what form is the question as it needs to be completed in many areas (as you have all stated repeatedly). So get out there and reply to the request for comments and let them know what you like and want from the existing jBPM 4 if that is what you need. This is the fastest way to help Kris get a roadmap out for jBPM5.
Even better, offer to help to create jBPM5. It is community developers that should make their voices heard here anyway!
20. Re: jBPM 4 is dead?O S Apr 23, 2010 10:08 AM (in response to Eric D. Schabell)
"I don't understand why you would have used jBPM 4 for production projects without realizing there is no Enterprise support for it."
Speaking for me - we were trying to be proactive. Plans were made in June/July of 2009. jBPM v3 had an excellent track record. v4 was about to be released. It was possible to see how version 3 was progressing and make intelligent assumptions about version 4.
I still think it was a reasonable decision that used knowledge about jBoss as an organization and jBPM as a project and made intelligent projections.
What we are discovering now is that past preformance is no guarantee for future results
Silly us
21. Re: jBPM 4 is dead?Javier Alperte Apr 23, 2010 11:11 AM (in response to Eric D. Schabell)
Dear Eric,
I think your answer is not very kind with the community people, a community that adopts your products from the very beginning, using them in real production environments and helping JBoss turn them into high quality products.This relationship is based on trust and commitment, and today you are throwing us a bucket of cold water, setting the basis of a new relationship where these values are not present.You are discouraging us to use your community components.
22. Re: jBPM 4 is dead?Koen Aers Apr 23, 2010 3:00 PM (in response to Javier Alperte)
There is no need to panic.
First of all, if any of you has decided to adopt the community components (as opposed to the supported versions) they did that with the knowledge that there was a chance that the piece of software they downloaded would never be officially supported. That is stated clearly on the community download pages. Now luckily jBPM 4 is an open source project. The sources are available and you can adapt/tweak/change/fix any piece of code that is in the codebase yourself. It should not be that difficult to do and as you probably know, our forums are very alive and you'll likely get plenty of help if that would be needed.
Secondly, as the community is not something that is owned by Red Hat or JBoss but rather constituted by all you guys participating in discussions, opening JIRA issues and providing patches, there is no reason why jBPM 4 would need to die. It is true that the efforts of the Red Hat/JBoss employees will mostly be concentrated on further supporting jBPM 3.x and on starting the effort for jBPM 5. However, the efforts related to jBPM 4 will not be dropped and there will be more jBPM 4 releases. In addition this evolution does not in any way prohibit fixes for jBPM 4 to be contributed by other community members. A number of community members have already expressed interest in doing this, so there is a good chance that this will happen. An important task for these volunteers will probably be to provide a migration path from jBPM 4 to the future jBPM 5.
Lastly, jBPM 5 will be an effort that reaps the fruit of jBPM 4 and Droolsflow and that will implement the BPMN2 standard. It is highly likely that the final solution will be very similar to both of those projects (they are already not that far apart right now) and that the transition from jBPM 4 to jBPM 5 will be very smooth. Of course, as I said before, the more input and collaboration we get for these features, the more likely it will be that they will be implemented.
I hope this removes at least some of the concerns.
P.S. While writing my anwer here, Alejandro made me aware of Mark Little's blog entry that provides an even much better anwer to what I'm trying to say ;-)
23. Re: jBPM 4 is dead?Maciej Swiderski Apr 24, 2010 9:58 AM (in response to Koen Aers)
Hi guys,
I think that we shall try to a bit more positive about the whole situation. Of course latest news from Red Hat/JBoss about not getting jBPM 4.x into product list is a bit disappointing but the most important, at least in my opinion is that we know it now. It is always better to have news (even bad) compared to silence.
At this point we know what are the nearest plans for jBPM as a whole. Moreover finally there is some moves towards merging jBPM and Drools Flow. It was a bit dangerous from my point of view, competition between these two could not be too good for end users.
Let's try to get most of jBPM 4.x and focus on next releases. As we could see there is going to be involvement from core developers, most likely limited but that gives us as community a bit more to share. Many of you has stated that improvements, bug fixes, etc have been done by you so why not sharing your work with other community users and obviously JBoss.org to have a better project that could be reused while working on version 5. I guess Alejandro and the rest of core development team will be more than happy to get patches for already discovered issues.
As Koen and Alejandro has already mentioned, let's try to do not panic about it, jBPM will survive and that's the key to stay with it. Kepp an eye or two on migration issues for jBPM 5 to make our life and work easier in coming years and I am certain everything will be all right. In other words let's look at the bright side of life
I hope that you will agree with me and next releases of jBPM 4.x will be out joined effort.
Take care
24. Re: jBPM 4 is dead?Kasinarayanan Gopalakrishnan May 13, 2010 3:17 PM (in response to Maciej Swiderski)
Its disappointing,we started with JBPM3 and waited for stable JBPM4,since there was major change with architecture from 3 to 4.
When we look into 4 again, there is announcement that 4 will become 5.
I'm a end user who researches on open source projects for enterprise use,
Its fine to take it a on a positive note but it would be helpful if more information is provided on the roadmap of upgradation from 4 to 5.
Will there be major change from 4 to 5?
Do all the community users has to stay way from JBPM4 for a while?
of-course its open source and we can work with code base of 4 ;-), wont it become a dual channel on the same objective?
We are expecting a WIN-WIN strategy,atleast a definitive answer on the migration plans for all those who have put their efforts in 3,4 so far.
25. Re: jBPM 4 is dead?Marco Marchi Jun 9, 2010 6:43 AM (in response to Kasinarayanan Gopalakrishnan)
Up to this post.
I have to evaluate JBPM for an enterprise project, and it would be useful to know if in this moment it's better to invest on JBPM 4 or wait for the 5 (https://community.jboss.org/wiki/jBPM5Roadmap).
Thanks in advance to all.

Key to the Table Above
The Carcinogenic Potency Database (CPDB) is a unique and widely used international resource of the results of 6540 chronic, long-term animal cancer tests on 1547 chemicals. The CPDB provides easy access to the bioassay literature, with qualitative and quantitative analyses of both positive and negative experiments that have been published over the past 50 years in the general literature through 2001 and by the National Cancer Institute/National Toxicology Program through 2004. The CPDB standardizes the diverse literature of cancer bioassays that vary widely in protocol, histopathological examination and nomenclature, and in the published author's choices of what information to provide in their papers. Results are reported in the CPDB for tests in rats, mice, hamsters, dogs, and nonhuman primates.
For each experiment, information is included on species, strain, and sex of test animal; features of experimental protocol such as route of administration, duration of dosing, dose level(s) in mg/kg body weight/day, and duration of experiment; experimental results are provided on target organ, tumor type, and tumor incidence; carcinogenic potency (TD50) and its statistical significance; shape of the dose-response, author's opinion as to carcinogenicity, and literature citation.
Only tests with dosing for at least ¼ the standard lifespan of the species and experiment length at least ½ the lifespan are included in the CPDB. Only routes of administration with whole body exposure are included. Doses are standardized, average dose rates in mg/kg/day. A description of methods used in the CPDB to standardize the diverse literature of animal cancer tests is presented for: 1) Criteria for inclusion of experiments 2) Standardization of average daily dose levels and 3) TD50 estimation for a standard lifespan. See Methods for other details.
TD50 provides a standardized quantitative measure that can be used for comparisons and analyses of many issues in carcinogenesis. The range of TD50 values across chemicals that are rodent carcinogens is more than 100 million-fold. More than half the chemicals tested are positive in at least one experiment.
A plot of all results on each experiment in the CPDB for this chemical is presented below. These results are the source information for the Cancer Test Summary table above.

Washington, D.C. (May 12, 2011) — Medical researchers are making unprecedented progress into understanding why women suffer disproportionately from a number of diseases. Those insights are providing information to help develop medicines to attack diseases such as osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, depression, rheumatoid arthritis and age-related macular degeneration, all of which affect more women than men.
Currently, 851 medicines are in development for diseases that exclusively or disproportionately affect women, according to a report unveiled today by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA). The number includes 139 for cancers that affect women and 110 for autoimmune diseases, which strike women three times more often than men. The medicines are all either in human clinical trials or are awaiting review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
"As recently as a couple decades ago, there was a basic assumption that what was good medically for men was good for women in almost every case," said PhRMA President and CEO John J. Castellani. "Today, our increasing knowledge of the less obvious differences between men and women is providing great promise for new and better treatments that will benefit both sexes."
About 90% of Americans suffering from lupus, migraines and fibromyalgia are women. Not only are women more prone to certain diseases, but the symptoms they present may be different. Men having heart attacks, for example, typically report chest pain that radiates down the arm, and those are the symptoms many doctors look for even today. Women may instead feel indigestion, extreme fatigue and nausea.
Among other variables, researchers developing medicines for women must take into account the possible differences in the ways men and women metabolize certain substances. For example, researchers have found that women metabolize nicotine more quickly than men, so a lower-dose nicotine patch for smoking cessation may not be as effective for women as a similar dose for men.
Some of the most promising work is in the area of autoimmune diseases, which involve the body's immune system attacking some part of the body that it mistakenly perceives as foreign. About 23.5 million Americans, most of them women, suffer from an autoimmune disease such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
A better understanding of how women react differently to stress than men is helping researchers understand how to approach treatments for autoimmune diseases and psychiatric illnesses such as depression and anxiety.
Women's bodies, for example, react to stress by producing higher levels of cytokines, which are cells secreted by the nervous system, said Lorraine Fitzpatrick, M.D., Medicine Development Leader for GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). Progress in understanding and treating autoimmune diseases represents "one of the great strides made recently for women's health," she added.
Charles P. Mouton, M.D., Dean of the Meharry Medical College School of Medicine, also pinpointed autoimmune diseases as a promising area for research. He added that exposure to violence has recently been identified as a potential explanation for a higher incidence of certain diseases among women. "We are just beginning to understand the negative health effects of this exposure to violence," said Dr. Mouton, whose college is renowned for its study of disparate health outcomes among both minorities and women.
Within autoimmune disease research, some of the greatest progress is being made in the study of multiple sclerosis, which is two to three times more prevalent among women than men, said Anita Burrell, head of the Distinct Product Unit Multiple Sclerosis at sanofi-aventis. Currently, 38 medicines are in development for multiple sclerosis. Although biopharmaceutical research involves great financial risk and the failure rate is high, Ms. Burrell predicted a number of new treatments with much better outcomes will be on pharmacy shelves within this decade.
"We are on the edge of a whole new wave of therapies," she said. "We should see remission in our lifetimes, and with the current speed of innovation, long-standing remission within our children's lifetimes."
Drs. Fitzpatrick and Mouton also expressed particular enthusiasm for progress being made in better potential treatments for osteoporosis. Biopharmaceutical research companies currently have 22 medicines in development for preventing or treating the disease and its symptoms. The disease, which makes bones prone to fractures, affects about eight million American women and two million American men.
"Research in the past two decades has provided quite a few good medicines, but there is a great deal of room for improvement," said Dr. Fitzpatrick. "The wave of the future is not simply to prevent bone erosion, but to build bone.
"For women's health generally, great strides have been made recently," she added. "It's a very exciting time for women's health."

Rebuilding Oak Cliff one house at a time
Chelsea Jones | 1/13/2014, 10:11 a.m.
The Dallas Examiner
As Dallas County continues to revitalize its southern communities, Oak Cliff may become a new hotspot for potential homeowners.
RPL Properties, a Dallas-based real estate development company, has obtained 50 vacant lots in Oak Cliff from the city's Urban Land Bank. The company's mission is to transform the lots into affordable three- to four-bedroom homes for families with moderate to low incomes. Building new homes in the area is expected to revitalize neglected parts of the neighborhood.
As a result of tax liens, approximately 400 lots throughout Southern Dallas, including Oak Cliff, South Dallas and West Dallas, have been abandoned for over five years. Most of the lots still had 50 to 60-year-old homes, many of which were tax delinquent, in a debilitated state and eyesores to the community.
The city reclaimed the properties, cleared them and decided to implement a three-year program that would contract investors to build new homes on the properties.
Pat Douglas of Dallas-based Hopkins Realty and Associates received the bid to market and sell the properties to investors. She called Paul Lewis, owner and builder of RPL Properties, and asked if he wanted to invest. He thought the program was a fantastic idea and said yes.
Lewis praised the city and Mayor Mike Rawlings for taking responsibility.
"I commend the city of Dallas and Mayor Rawlings for having a vision to see that properties that are being abandoned are a liability to the city. If they can turn that into an asset, then everybody wins: the city, homeowner, developer and overall neighborhood," he said.
Lewis, who is originally from Gary, Ind., has been living in Oak Cliff for the past 40 years. His office is also located in the area. He expressed his excitement about helping to restore the neighborhood, which he said had been on the decline for a period of time.
"I know about communities like this. I know [that] if you don't have any development going on and jobs being created, [and] if you don't have any new homes being built, then the community tends to go down. So we're going to do our part to reestablish this neighborhood," he said.
Building new homes would help bring up the community by raising the area's property values. The new homes, he mentioned, would also provide families with an opportunity to build personal wealth, he explained.
Having worked in real estate for the past 30 years, Lewis stated that a person's wealth is first created through homeownership. Quoting statistics, he detailed that in the African American community, a person who doesn't own a home has a net worth of about $1,500 to $2,000. However, a homeowner has a net worth of around $20,000 to $30,000.
"I think if you're going to have any type of inheritance that you can leave behind to someone, you have to own your own home. That's where it begins, right there. If you don't own a home, then you're missing out on an opportunity to establish wealth not only for you, but also for the children that may be looking for an inheritance," Lewis said.

Extremely well written analysis of the incident. I strongly urge everyone to fully read it.
For once I agree with you Luke. [...] The morons going out into the middle of the gully to get better pictures just takes the cake.
...It is one reason why climbing is so attractive and so ridicule to scare people at a point that you suggest them to hike lion head trail instead of central couloir.With a little bit more leadership of two person, they would have been safe. You have a leader of the team, who brought eleven climber to close to the top... He made a mistake not saying to be carefull at the snow field, but they were pratically at the summit. Underestimation is not stupid...it is just that some one don't have enought experiences or are distracted by some thing else (beautifull women for example). You drive, try to reach your cell phone...and have an accident... or you coffee fall on your leg... These are mistakes, you are not stupid...We saw that the avalanche awardness is no longer an advantage because, even if the people of the team talked to a ranger and saw the avalanche condition, they climbed. Avalanche awardness said: O.K. today it is low, go for it and if you don't have experiment, we will laught at you or today I don't want to rescue you in the mountain, so do some thing else. Sad
2) They were not close to the top. Given the 8 hours it took them to get from Harvard Cabin to almost topping out Central they were 4+ hours from the summit still given the conditions.

DURHAM, N.C.—The Duke University wrestling team turned in an outstanding season in the classroom in 2013-14 ranking sixth among all Division I programs. In addition, redshirt sophomore Conner Hartmann was selected to the National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Academic Team for his excellence on the mat and academically.
The Blue Devils, after finishing ninth a year ago, moved up three spots to the No. 6 slot with a 3.304 team grade point average. Duke led all ACC squads with Virginia Tech being the other ACC team represented with a 3.103 GPA. Harvard topped the list with a 3.37. Hartmann was one of six ACC wrestlers selected as Duke was one of three conference teams to have an individual represented.
Hartmann, an economics major, turned in a phenomenal year for the Blue Devils. The Port Orchard, Wash., native took fifth place at the NCAA Championships, becoming the second Duke wrestler to earn All-America honors. Hartmann finished the year with a career-best 27-11 record and took third at 197 pounds at the ACC Championships. A two-time NCAA qualifier, Hartmann turned heads at the NCAA Championships by upsetting the No. 10, No. 7 and No. 11 seeds en route to taking fifth overall. He was one of three unseeded wrestlers to earn a spot on the podium.
The Blue Devils, facing their toughest schedule in program history, finished the year 6-15 overall and took 29th of 72 teams at the NCAA Championships.

The Lamar County Trojans overcame a horrid first half, in which their offensive and defensive lines were manhandled, to come back from a 13-0 deficit to tie the Howard Huskies 19-19 at Trojan Field Friday night.
Lamar had only 39 yards of total offense in the first half of football of the Jamie Abrams era - a half he will, no doubt, not remember fondly.
Coaches and fans knew going in that this team did not possess the overall team speed previous teams have had. Lamar went from backs with 4.3 quickness to 4.8 quickness and it was a glaring contrast.
The LC offensive and defensive fronts were owned by the Huskies in the first half. The defensive front jelled in the second half but the offensive line struggled throughout the game. The fullback dive, key to the Trojan Wing-T attack, was never effective.
Junior Noah Hood pounced on a muffed punt return by the Huskies early in the second half to trigger a burst of adrenaline by Lamar. Alas, the lack of a kicking game - and center line blocking for it - derailed hopes for a comeback win.
Game balls from our perspective go to Hood, quarterback L.J. Smith, running back Noah Eure and defensive lineman Rashad Johnson, who just refused to be blocked.
It should be noted that Franklin Stephens coaching tenure at Lamar also resulted in a tie.
Lamar hosts Pike County next Friday in the Battle of Potato Creek and it will be a war.

Next Year...

Oh God ANYTHING but origami. I would have gone with Bieber all the way. I'm impressed that you persevered. If it had been me, each crane (or whatever) would have ended up a wadded ball.ReplyDelete
Our daycare did valentines cards too, and since nobody told us in advance what the expectations were, I got to not bring in anything and not feel any guilt whatsoever. I am not looking forward to subsequent years.
For Valentine's Day one year, we were told not to bring in cards, and instead each student made a card (with fancy card stock and doilies and stuff), which we exchanged through an elaborate card exchange. It seemed like a pretty good way to avoid everyone getting 30+ tacky cards that just go in the garbage when they get home anyway.ReplyDelete
Oh god the daycare v-day nonsense. Seriously, does my 1-year old give a crap about whether he got some throw-away "Avengers" piece of cardboard or not? It makes a bit more sense for the older kids, but they start it so freaking early. I also couldn't find the "thomas the train" leftover cards from last year and had to go on the 13th to the drugstore...all that was left was "spiderman" and some generic looking labradour dogs that were apperently a Disney character of some sort. We went with the doggies. I also apparently did them "wrong"---there were stickers that you were supposed to tear off and stick into these little flaps so the sticker was a present for the recipient of the card. I had B stick the stickers directly on the card. Until B & L got into a fight and he shoved B into the coffee table over the sheet of stickers...then I ended up staying up and doing all the cards myself. I resented the loss of 30 minutes of relaxation time.ReplyDelete
I agree - V day cards are a TOTAL waste of time. This year I bought cheap sticker sheets and just had my daughter write: To XXX, From XXX on the back of each one. Easiest job ever, and much more fun/cheap than the commercially available V day products.ReplyDelete
I bought a box of 1,000, or maybe it was 10,000, 3-4" diameter white paper doilies from a restaurant supply store for a different project. When my kids were little I spotted the box and realized their potential. The box lasted through the Valentine's needs of all three of my kids. We had markers & glitter glue and they could decorate them any way they wanted. A leftover box of doilies turned into a brilliant way to address stupid V-day needs and trumped pre-made cards because it had the panache of crafting. I am NOT a crafter, so I enjoyed that.ReplyDelete
This is so much more fun when they get older and can participate! We are only required to do homeroom, so less than 20 cards/kid. This year, we got Target cards with no candy (school requirement, I was glad as there is always plenty at the parties) - folded ones with envelopes. Cecelia loved it - wrote oh so cute personal notes to each of her classmates, signed, and decorated the envelopes with stickers. Jack, despite announcing that this was "not my idea of a good time," signed all his cards and stuffed them, then returned later to decorate with stickers. His sister's excitement was contagious. During all this I COOKED AND CLEANED AND PACKED LUNCHES. Bopping in and out for support. Evening entertainment. It was awesome.ReplyDelete
I can empathize with you. It sucked when they were little - all on me. And freaking boxes to decorate on top of all that. Late night residency hell, it was.

"The Check is in the Mail" Stimulus Package
Strains on the I.R.S. Could Delay Rebate Checks for Months (via NYT):
The checks will be in the mail — eventually.
But President Bush's plan to send payments to 117 million households to stimulate the economy would impose major strains on the Internal Revenue Service, delays in answering calls to the agency and require a host of technical rules to determine who ultimately collects the benefits, officials said Thursday.
The deal between the administration and House leaders calls for checks to be issued 60 days after the president signs a law authorizing the one-time payments. That may be in as few as four or five weeks if the full House and the Senate come to terms on the details quickly.
In theory, the first checks may arrive in early May, if nothing goes wrong.
Even as the negotiators crunched the numbers, the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation warned that the tax-filing season could be disrupted and hinted that it might be June before checks were issued.
Determining who is eligible and for how much money will require major reprogramming of an outdated computer system that relies on technology long since abandoned by business. The software changes will have to be made as an estimated 135 million individual income tax returns arrive between now and April 15.
The agency has already rushed to adjust its computers because of a temporary patch to reduce the effects of the alternative minimum tax that was not agreed on until just before lawmakers left Washington in December. More than two million taxpayers affected by the alternative tax cannot file until at least Feb. 11.
Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. told reporters on Thursday that he did not believe the tax patch would affect the new checks. Agency officials who would not speak on the record because they were not authorized were not so sanguine and pointed to the Congressional joint committee report's warnings about adding to the workload in the big filing season.
Nobody has authorized the agency to hire extra workers to reprogram computers, enter new data, issue checks and answer calls. The agency will divert resources from serving taxpayers and enforcing tax laws.
A surge in calls accompanied the rebates that Mr. Bush sponsored in 2001, straining the ability to answer calls from people with tax problems and causing other logistical problems.
Charles O. Rossotti, the executive who was the internal revenue commissioner in 2001, warned amid that rush to issue rebate checks that "compression of analysis, testing and production of complex programs poses very high risks of errors in issuing these refunds such as taxpayers receiving incorrect amounts or notices with incorrect information."

During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Palestinians fled or were expelled from parts of Mandate Palestine, many finding refuge in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), including East Jerusalem ("Palestinian Refugees"). At the beginning of 2009, there were over 1,813,000 Palestinian refugees in the OPT representing 45% of its population of approximately 4 million Palestinians. More than 754,000 reside in the occupied West Bank, and over 1,059,000 in the occupied Gaza Strip.1
Israel not only disrespects the right of these refugees to return to their homes of origin, but continues to dispossess and displace them within their place of refuge, namely the OPT over which Israel exercises effective control as an occupying power.
While aiming at illegally asserting control over the maximum amount of land with a minimum number of Palestinians and implanting Jewish-only settlements, Israel is forcibly displacing the Palestinian civilian population, refugees and non-refugees, in the OPT including East Jerusalem. Different measures have been adopted by Israel to achieve its goal, such as land confiscation, home demolition, eviction and the construction of the Wall. These practices run counter to international human rights and humanitarian law.
Dispossession and displacement of Palestinians, including refugees, in occupied East Jerusalem, illegally annexed by Israel, has noticeably increased. These policies and practices aim at asserting pressure on this community to leave the city.2 Of particular concern are Palestinian neighborhoods that face ongoing mass eviction and home demolition including those in Sheikh Jarrah, Silwan, Beit Hanina and Al-Turi.3
In some cases, Israel expropriates Palestinian-owned property through a complex system of legal, administrative and institutional mechanisms, subsequently leasing or transferring these properties to Jewish settlers. In other cases, settlers make use of Israeli courts to lay claim to property inhabited by Palestinians, claiming ownership by Jewish individuals or associations prior to 1948. The Israeli Supreme Court has ruled in favor of such claims while failing to recognize the rights of Palestinian refugees to reclaim lost land and property.
For example, some Palestinian refugees who moved to Sheikh Jarrah in 1956 following an agreement between UNRWA and the Government of Jordan were evicted from their homes by Israeli authorities on 2 August 2009, following a court ruling.4 As a result, 53 Palestinian refugees, including 20 children, have once again been displaced. With no alternative residence, the families are forced to camp out on the street in front of their homes. Their appeal to overturn the eviction was rejected on 9 August 2009. Their properties were handed over to a settler organization that intends to build a new settlement in the area, while placing 300 refugees living in the area at imminent risk of forced eviction dispossession and displacement.5
Settlers have also laid claim to several other plots in Sheik Jarrah, including 33 buildings that are home to almost 175 people, most of whom are refugees. Although the case is still pending in the Israeli courts, a group of settlers, accompanied by Israeli police entered the area on 26 July 2009 and occupied one of the buildings.6
While the Israeli executive branch plans what it calls the "Judaization" of East Jerusalem, and the judiciary fails to respect and protect the rights of Palestinian refugees and their property, it is the legislative branch that plays an active role in preventing refugees from reclaiming lost land and property. On 3 August 2009, one day after the eviction of tens of Palestinian refugees in Sheikh Jarrah, the Knesset adopted a new land reform law – Israel Land Administration (ILA) Law- that legalizes the privatization of land originally owned by Palestinians, including refugees who currently reside in the OPT. This law retroactively legitimizes the ILA's sale of absentee property, which includes refugee property. Thus, for instance, 96 such tenders were issued in 2007, while 106 tenders were published in 2008.7 The new law has repercussions on the right of Palestinian refugees to restitution and violates their property rights, in contravention of international humanitarian and human rights law.8
The new law allows the transfer of land from state and the Jewish National Fund "ownership" into private Jewish-ownership in occupied East Jerusalem, illegally annexed by Israel. The privatization process will encompass the settlements and areas planned for development (settlement construction) in occupied East Jerusalem. In essence, Israel will generate huge profits from the privatization of land in the OPT, despite its legal obligations as an occupying power under international humanitarian and human rights law to respect the right to private property and refrain from permanent confiscation of such property.
We therefore urge the Human Rights Council to call on Israel to:
Immediately halt dispossession and displacement of Palestinians, including refugees, in the OPT by putting an end to forced eviction and home demolition;
Facilitate the return of the displaced to their homes as a result of forced eviction and house demolition; ensure the implementation of the UN Principles on Housing and Property Restitution for Refugees and Displaced Persons ("Pinheiro Principles"); and seek a durable solution to the refugee plight, namely repatriation;
Protect the rights of Palestinians to land and property and ensure respect for international human rights and humanitarian law;
Annul the new Israel Land Administration Law, end the transfer of ownership rights over Palestinian refugee property, and promote the right of Palestinian refugees to property restitution.

SHINNSTON, W.Va. (AP) — Rescue crews continued to search Saturday for a bulldozer operator who plummeted into a West Virginia coal slurry pond when an embankment collapsed.
The bulldozer and two pickup trucks slid into the Nolans Run impoundment of Consol Energy's Robinson Run mine shortly after noon Friday. Two engineers who tumbled into the water were promptly rescued. They were treated at hospitals and released.
Lynn Seay, spokeswoman for Pennsylvania-based Consol, said the search for the missing worker was suspended at midnight and resumed Saturday. Crews were draining the pond, which was 12 feet deep, and sonar equipment was brought in to help divers and other rescue personnel who were searching for the missing person. Seay said the embankment remained unstable and continued to shift, creating difficult conditions for the search.
The Robinson Run mine was idled while the search was under way, and Seay said a decision on resuming operations would be made on a shift-by-shift basis.
U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration officials were on site, along with company, state and union officials. It was unclear what caused the collapse, which MSHA spokeswoman Amy Louviere described as a "massive failure" at the mine's preparations plant.
Preparations plants wash raw coal to help it burn efficiently before it is shipped to customers. Coal slurry impoundments are used to contain both solid refuse and the wastewater byproduct known as slurry.
The accident occurred on the same day that an electrician, 27-year-old Steven O'Dell of Mount Nebo, was killed when he became caught between a scoop and a continuous mining machine at a White Buck Coal Co. mine in Greenbrier County. The company is a subsidiary of Virginia-based Alpha natural Resources.
O'Dell is the state's sixth mining fatality this year.
Search continues for worker in coal slurry pond in West Virginia

Also for testing they are indeed quite bright
I can't imagine that using too high resistor values would invoke this behaviour,
I have some SMT LEDs that are marked with the cathode mark, but they clearly work the opposite of the markings, so I can only assume its a manufacturing error,
Buying LEDs from China is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get.
These LEDs are not common cathode. Well the green and blue is common cathode but the red LED seem to be mounted to other way so it only works if current and ground is reversed.I'd like a new shipment of correct, 100% working, LEDs.
Hi, Simon I'm very sorry, I know this problem. At present I have corrected the mistake, the reason is I suppliers provide goods wrong to me, and I didn't see. Don't worry, I will resend new item to your address, water clear RGB led... Hope to understand, sincere thanks! Any question can email to contact me
However the question is how many newbies like me think they themselves make an error and doesn't bother to send a message, get stuck with bad ones and looses interest because it just doesn't work?
QuoteI have some SMT LEDs that are marked with the cathode mark, but they clearly work the opposite of the markings, so I can only assume its a manufacturing error,I have some of those as well. It could be however a data sheet error, or in fact another type of LED that is being passed off at that type number. That is the problem with China eBay components, you never know what you will get.
On 5050 SMT LEDs, does the triangle mark ever identify the anodes?

Friday night in Wichita, Kansas undefeated light heavyweight prospect Jeff Page Jr, defeated seasoned veteran Jose Spearman via 3rd round KO.
The sold out standing room only Beech Activity Center in Wichita, Kansas was pandemonium from the opening bell. Promoter Jeff Page of Strike King Combat once again put on a solid night of boxing, his son Jeff 'Superman" Page Jr improved his record to 13-0, 8 KO's by demolishing Jose Spearman of Indianapolis, Indiana whose record fell to 29-19-5.
The main event was for the vacant Universal Boxing Federation All-Americas light heavyweight title and it indeed brought out fireworks. The first round was more of a feeling out round for both fighters but looking to measure out their distances with jabs, later in the round things got interesting with both fighters throwing punches with bad intentions.
Round 2 was much more interesting but Page Jr, was able to use a lot more movement fire shots from different angles. Spearman to his credit hung in there when Page landed some hard shots, but it seemed as the round went out it was Spearman who was feeling more leather from Page. In the middle of round two that at one point it appeared as if Spearman winced in pain when throwing back. The fight was momentarily stopped and the doctor deemed Spearman was able to continue. The middle of the round Spearman tastes the canvas, yet Spearman was calm, cool and collective and was looking use his defense, and tried to fire counter punches to the undefeated prospect.
Round 3 was a back and forth battle for a short period, but the youth and power of Page was very evident to spectators. Spearman was hit with some huge shots and in round three, at one point it appeared as if he would not make it out of the round, however Spearman was able to make it out of round 3 but did not come out for round four, his wife seen enough and threw in the towel.
After the fight Spearman said he tore his right shoulder rotator cuff, but praised Page and congratulated him on his victory.
Jeff made it clear that this was just the beginning of his long journey to a world title that he hopes will occur in the near future.
"I want to thank the people of Kansas, the fans of the sport, all my sponsors and the media outlets that support not only me but the up and coming prospects in the world". – Page Jr
After the fight his father who serves as his promoter and manager told the audience that his son will return on June 14th, 2014 and face another veteran of the sport. According to Strike King Combat his next opponent will be Dominique Alexander who hails from Topeka, Kansas.

It was June 2006. I wanted my computer to function properly but my computer disagreed. I tried everything, troubleshooting from my computer at work, calling tech support, opening up the box and staring at the insides, shouting racial slurs, quietly weeping in a corner… you know, the usual. I wasn't going to get the old girl up and running without a major overhaul so I figured I might as well just buy a new computer. I found one that I thought would suit my needs and started to haggle. I got a price I liked and the salesman said I could pick up two pieces of software for free to seal the deal. I grabbed Civilization 3 because I had played the original way back when and I grabbed WoW since I had heard good things and I played Warcraft 2 back in the day and had a lot of fun with it. I installed WoW first and to this day Civ III remains unopened.
I tried to find a picture to represent tanking
It was my first foray into an MMO and I didn't know anything about anything. The description of warrior sounded good and I figured it wouldn't be too difficult play if I just had to hit stuff with a sword. I remember getting in a group for SM and one of the other guys asked if I was protection and I didn't know what the hell he was talking about. I put talent points in stuff like improved demoralizing shout (used to be in the arms tree) and improved thunderclap which seemed like protection talents to me so I told him I was a mix. I had no idea that there were multiple talent trees. I remember getting the quest for berserker stance and reading the quest text and thinking it sounded like pvp. I didn't like pvp so I didn't do the quest till level 45 or so. I was the noobiest noob ever to noob. But I slowly picked up knowledge and I made some friends in a casual raiding guild that I eventually joined. It took until about halfway through Molten Core for me to really start figuring out how to tank.
Aerie Peak was launched just before Naxx was opened. That meant that nobody on our server got to do end-game in Vanilla WoW. The most progressed guild killed one boss in Naxx. My guild was working on Firemaw when TBC launched and we were one of the top 5 progression guilds on the server. When TBC launched, the gear reset helped our server catch up on progression. Naxx guilds were able to go straight to Karazhan with their tier3 and our server had to farm level 70 dungeons and heroics before going so we weren't totally caught up, but we were a lot closer. I was in a guild that was a little slower than some other moving through Karazhan but we got the server second kill on Maulgar and a server first on Gruul the week after he got nerfed – almost had him pre-nerf which was quite an accomplishment =/.
Then progression on the server stalled in late April and there was some upheaval and I was a part of forming a brand new guild with the intention of becoming THE raiding guild on Aerie Peak. And it worked too, with the exception of HKM, Gruul and Mag (already killed before we formed) and Lady Vashj (long story…), we got a server first kill on everything and we finished tier6 about 2 weeks ago. We are by no means an elite guild, there are probably 400-500 guilds worldwide that killed Illidan before us, but we do pretty well. MT duty is split between me and the best damn feral druid I have ever seen and we have another tanking warrior on our roster who is one of the few people I trust to tank when I am not there.
I have tanked everything from Lucifron to Illidan (Naxx at level 70 is crazy fun) and I have played with just about every spec you can imagine (17/5/39 + block value + critical strike = super happy fun times tanking). I went from knowing nothing at all about playing a warrior to reading every last bit of info I could find. In the end I am quite pleased I picked a warrior to play. I can't imagine trying to raid as anything but a tank.
P.S. If you feel the need to check my armory, the character name is Rochelle on Aerie Peak (US).
P.P.S. Despite the name and the female character model, I do, in fact, have a penis (at time of posting).

April is Financial Literacy month
Gov. Sam Brownback declared the month of April 2013 as Financial Literacy Month, knowing that many citizens struggle in this area.
"Kansans need to be equipped to make personal financial decisions such as maintain a budget, understanding loans, credit, investment and savings plans, banking and retirement plans in order to make informed choices concerning the different financial institutions available," he said.
The average non-mortgage consumer debt in Kansas has risen from $11,000 to $15,000 in the last decade and 12.4 percent of Kansans have experienced difficulty keeping up with their mortgage payments; student loan debt now exceeds credit card debt in America and 51 percent of Americans are not financially prepared to retire at age 65.
In the opinion of the governor, Financial education empowers Kansans to make wise financial decisions, reduces the confusion of an increasingly complex economy, and enables citizens to plan for and establish multi-generational wealth. Personal financial literacy among today's youth will contribute to the financial stability of tomorrow's work force and to the growth, success, and prosperity of the Kansas economy.
