FISHKILL, N.Y. - SHORTLY after he took command of the Continental Army in 1775, at the onset of the Revolutionary War, George Washington ordered the construction of a military camp and storage yard south of the Fishkill Creek, on a 70-acre parcel that now spans both sides of Route 9, near Interstate 84, in the Town of Fishkill.
The Fishkill Supply Depot, as the camp came to be known, was the main provider of artillery and food for up to 4,000 troops stationed there to keep the British from moving past New York City and capturing the Hudson Valley, the town's historian, Willa Skinner, said. Despite its significance, the depot and its role in the war have faded into obscurity, while most of the land where it once stood has been developed.
Last month, a Westchester County developer, Scott Jerutis of Kyle Properties in Ossining, unveiled plans to build restaurants and shops on the site's last piece of undisturbed land, an eight-acre lot opposite the Dutchess Mall and next to the Van Wyck Homestead, the only surviving structure of the original encampment. The homestead is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
The development project is still in its infancy, but it already faces opposition. The president of the Fishkill Historical Society, Roy Jorgensen, said he wanted archeologists to explore the site and recover any wartime relics that might be buried. "It's not that we don't want them to build," Mr. Jorgensen said, "but we would feel much better if an archeological evaluation had taken place."
One of the group's trustees, Mara Farrell, is opposed to the construction altogether, saying that preservation of the plot is "our last chance to save a piece of history."
"We all owe our independence to a great extent to what happened at this depot and encampment," Ms. Farrell said. "We can't waste another chance to truly honor this site."
HISTORIANS said they believed that hundreds, if not thousands, of Continental Army soldiers who died from war wounds and smallpox were buried somewhere near the site, which is also where the encampment's stables were. Three archeological digs performed from 1997 to 1999 on parts of the site and at an adjoining gas station lot did not uncover evidence of the stables or the cemetery, according to a letter by the state's Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, which reviewed the work.
Mr. Jerutis said the letter had cleared him from having to excavate the site again, but Ms. Farrell was adamant about the need to survey the entire eight acres and not just parts of it.
The historical society tried to preserve the old depot grounds in the past, but to no avail. Its most comprehensive effort came in 1971, Mr. Jorgensen said, when it proposed turning the 70 acres into a national park modeled after Valley Forge, near Philadelphia. The town turned down the plan, and three years later, the Dutchess Mall was built, taking up most of the 70-acre site.
The society has about 10,000 artifacts recovered during construction of the mall and archeological digs that preceded and followed it, including cannon balls, muskets, utensils and buttons from uniforms.
Mr. Jerutis's proposal faces its first review by the Town of Fishkill planning board at a meeting in August or early September, Christopher Colsey, the town's director of municipal development, said. At the meeting, the board's consultant is expected to say whether more archeological studies need to be done, Mr. Colsey said.

"We're all gathered here to celebrate Ads Worth Spreading," announced co-hosts Cindy Gallup and Abigail Posner, dressed head to toe in Zara, or "recession-chic" as they called it. "We are going to see the creative approach about how we think TED can spread its own ideas."
But the conversation quickly took on a bigger and broader question, as conversations at TED often do. What we were really here to talk about, Cindy revealed, is what the future ads worth spreading will be.
Earlier in the week, Google's Creative Director Ben Jones had discussed the opportunity to create impactful and meaningful content within the context and the mediums that the world of digital media has to offer. What happens when we ask people the really fundamental questions, like the Doador Sport Campign, for example? How can we create structures that people can and want to participate in, with platforms like Kiva or calls to action like Amanda Palmer's TEDTalk? How might we create brand ambassadors though the content we create, as Heineken has done with its #Dropped experiment? With so many new kinds of content and mediums with with to capture peoples' attention, Ben says, "amazing is always on the other side of yes."
So what should advertisers be saying yes to?
"We need to delve deeper into the nature of our relationship to the different digital spaces that we play in," Abigail says. Instead of just putting content on a mobile screen, she explains, how can we leverage the insight that mobile is a way for us to build and share culture?
From Cindy's perspective, we also need to be saying yes to advertising. She points to an almost universal, fundamental belief that advertising is a bad thing. This belief, she points out, exists here at TED, among consumers of advertisments, and among advertisers themselves. We can't leverage the great things technology and creativity have to offer if we continue believing this to be true, she notes. "The future is about creative collaboration in a way that assumes positive intent on both sides, and that enables us to do our best work together," says Cindy. "Despite what everybody else thinks, we absolutely have the ability to change the world, just as much as any other speaker you've seen on stage this week."
Over the course of this week at TEDActive, advertising gurus, AWS nominators and judges, as well as the winning ads themselves, came together around TED's Ads Worth Spreading initiative to think about creating some new ads worth spreading to solve some of TED's biggest challenges. Ads Worth Spreading began in 2011, to "recognize and reward innovation, ingenuity and intelligence in advertising," that is, ads that spread an idea through powerful and meaningful connections with their audience. This year, ten winners embodied powerful and transformative work with the power to change the world. You can watch the winning pieces here.
With facilitation led by IDEO, winners, nominators and leaders alike, split into three teams, each handed a brief and three days to design a compelling pitch, the winner of which would be awarded $25K in seed funding by TED to bring this idea to life. The outcome reflected the curious, innovative and proactive spirit that TEDActive is all about.
Think Globally, Act Locally
Create a campaign that tells people how to become a part of the volunteer community of TEDx.
How can TED better tell the stories of local change and engagement? How can we reach everyone who wants to get involved with TED and make a difference in their communities?
Tom Wong (TBWA) and Ben Jones (Google) presented for the group. Ben shared how during dinner the night before, he sat next to Ilwad Elman, a young woman who grew up in Ottowa, but returned to her home country of Somalia after the assassination of her father, to carry on his human rights work with her mother through their Elman Peace and Human Rights Center in Mogadishu, and has used the TEDx platform to connect with her community and others around her ideas. "This isn't just playing around with a brief," says Ben. "This is incredibly, incredibly important."
TEDx is a great gateway product to get involved with a much larger brand, explain Tom and Ben. "We want to help turn TEDx organizers from a power to a great big superpower. Local action, global impact." This group had several concepts, including TEDxMe, which makes everyone a TEDx organizer at an atomic level and lowers the barrier so that anyone can immediately do so through personalized TEDx playlists. Another, called TEDxEveryday filters personally-tailored TEDx talks to the user based on the amount of time they have to watch. A third (and there were several beyond this) entitled BatSignal, was a way to connect TEDx communities to help each other with common challenges. This collection of offerings centered around a core belief that "local is not measured from where my feet are, it's measured from where my heart is."
Youth and Education
Design a strategy to help create awareness of the TED-Ed ecosystem and its potential.
How might we reimagine the current TED-Ed videos to reach the common person, strike chords in people, and generate emotional investment?
John Mescall (McCann Australia) and Kate Smither (Ogilvy & Mather) shared a plan for unlocking the TED-Ed potential. "There are 2 billion youth in the world. They're curious souls, but they're at a time in their life where they're put into a school system, told to be less curious, not ask why or why not." From ages 0-9 and 18-18, we're told to go out and try things, make things, do things. But from ages 10-17, we're told to sit, be patient, absorb, and wait. Where TED-Ed can play is in this middle section, where students are made to wait.
You're not ready. Wait your turn. Pay your dues. You're just a kid. This is the message we're telling kids at a time when they're most excited about the world. What we need to tell them, say Kate and John, is to be impatient. "If you have something inside of you, go learn about it, go do it. You do not need to wait your turn or be taught something by the system." What their team created was an unlockable device, aimed at 14-year olds. To unlock it, you need to know something you might not traditionally know until age 17 or 18. You can wait to play the game until then, says John, or you can be impatient and use TED-Ed to learn what you need to know to unlock it. "Kids have never been more ready to blaze their own trail and make their own destiny." And here's how.
The Ripple Effect
Tell the story of the ripple effect of one idea, to inspire others. And build a clear incentive for people to push ideas forward.
How might we amplify an idea that can change the world, bring it to the attention of people with the ability, drive and imagination to make a difference?
When an idea worth spreading spreads, what does it create? Georgia Challis (Wieden & Kennedy) and Jesse McMillin (Virgin America) presented for their group. "TED is about ideas worth spreading – big, inspiring, touching, brain-expanding ideas. They're so big, they can feel daunting to the rest of us." How do we help those of us who aren't going to stand on the TED stage understand the key role they have in spreading an idea. How do we compel them to be more than just viewers?
Georgia takes us through their treatment, a action-inspiring piece that shows the impact that sharing can have on the proliferation of an idea. We see a speaker on the TED stage, ready to begin a talk, but seemingly struggling to begin. Then we see someone share his talk online and he begins to proceed. Then another, then another. The shares are powering his talk, making him come alive. "It takes many people to deliver a TEDTalk," says Georgia. "One person stood on stage, a million people spoke. Share TED."
After each pitch had been presented, the group talked about the potential for implementation of each idea. Not able to decide on a final one (they were all so great!), the folks at Ads Worth Spreading decided to take the ideas back into TED for further discussion. Stay tuned!

The stage and grade of a cancer are ways to measure how severe the
disease is. Tumors are described by their size, whether they have spread, and how their cells look under a microscope.
There are three parts to staging:
This staging system is commonly referred to as the TNM cancer staging system. Some cancers, such as lymphomas, have a different staging system. Most leukemias don't have a staging system.
Tumor grading describes how tumor cells look under a microscope. Tumor cells that look like normal cells (well-differentiated) are called Grade 1 tumors. They usually grow slowly. Cells that look very different from normal cells are said to be undifferentiated (Grade 4). These cells often grow quickly and spread rapidly.
The following system may be used to grade tumors:
This is a general grading system. Some cancers, such as prostate cancer and bladder cancer, have their own grading systems.

In this series I have worked from my own black-and-white film photos taken at Cockatoo Island, Sydney, to highlight the subtle beauty of the dilapidated dockyards and buildings. Typically, we link decay with ugliness and choose to ignore imperfection, but I find the various states of erosion in these structures aesthetically pleasing, lending them a kind of haunted majesty. By using a range of media and drawing techniques, I have attempted to capture the different textures and surfaces, with a view to demonstrating that beauty found in form does not necessarily stem from geometric perfection.

A BENIHANA CHRISTMASSpecial Time 8/7c 2006-12-14In a special one hour Christmas episode, Michael sends out an inappropriate Christmas Card which lands him in hot water with his girlfriend Carol. Meanwhile tensions mount on the party planning committee between Angela, Pam and Karen. The resulting tension leave the office with two competing Christmas parties.
New (hour-long) episode tonight!
Sprry sucks balls; that's why he feels that way.Fantastic episode.
"The Office Season 3" brings higher production value (the role of unsteady camerawork as a character takes a backseat due to even slightly better standards), and entirely new batch of characters, and much more forced humor. Originally praised for it's "subtle" jokes, "The Office Season 3" is already catering to a bigger audience with forced punch lines of it's own kind (I can almost hear the studio laugh-track). Contrary to many reviews, "The Office" was never truly subtle to begin with (especially compared to it's British provider), but structured and smart no doubt.This season of "The Office" already assumes that bigger is dumber, and we are getting force fed a predictable plot, which will probably resolve after a dragging series of expositions complete with trite character and environment comparisons. Michael's ignorance and Dwight's stupidity have escalated to make them both humanly unrecognizable."The Office" has gone from a believable documentary carried by it's acute observations of The Human Condition through the eyes of a lovable American workforce, to an over-the-top farce involving site gags and shock value. I'll hope for the best, but might prefer savoring the days when low budget meant clever writing, and true innovation meant staying on the air.
Care to explain why you feel that way?

The PERMITRESET command causes the values of permission conditions to be reevaluated. Permission conditions consist of one or more Boolean expressions that designate the criteria used by PERMIT commands associated with an object.
When permission conditions are dimensioned, they indicate which values of a dimensioned object PERMIT targets for permission. A single-cell permission condition can indicate any Boolean criterion, such as whether or not a particular user may access the object.
When you want to keep the existing PERMIT commands for an object, but you want the permission conditions associated with them to be recalculated, issue a PERMITRESET statement. The permission for that object is based on the new values of the permission conditions the next time you use the object in an OLAP DML statement.
See also:"Startup Programs", PERMIT command, and PERMITERROR option
PERMITRESET [object_name] [READ|WRITE]
Specifies the name of an object for which permission conditions should be reevaluated. When you do not specify an object name, the permission conditions for all objects are reevaluated.
Causes reevaluation of the permission conditions for
READ commands only, or for a
READ statement for the specified object.
Causes reevaluation of the permission conditions for
WRITE commands only, or for a
WRITE statement for the specified object.
Example 10-78 Resetting Permission
In the following example, the user-defined Boolean function
usercheck checks the current value of the variable
thisuser and returns
YES only when it is greater than
100. Access to the variable
uservar is only allowed when
thisuser is greater than
100. However, when you change the value of
thisuser to a value less than or equal to
100 without resetting the permission for
uservar, access is still permitted.
The statement
DESCRIBE uservar
produces the following output.
DEFINE USERVAR VARIABLE INTEGER PERMIT READ WHEN usercheck(thisuser)

We are generally told that a academy amount can accessible doors. In truth, a academy amount is added like a key — you can accessible abounding added doors with a key than without, but it is still up to you to acquisition the doors and to about-face the handles. Having a abundant resume is the aboriginal footfall in aperture those doors, but as a academy student, you may not apperceive how to address a acceptable one. If so, accede these tips:
Choose a bright template
Individuals who are aloof starting their careers (i.e. academy students) generally face two aggressive imperatives. On the one hand, they appetite to accommodate as abundant admonition as accessible in the hopes that their admirers will see how accomplished they are. On the added hand, they are told to address a single-page resume. The accustomed allurement is to antithesis these goals by utilizing a baby chantry and basal white space.
However, ysis shows that best hiring managers absorb bald abnormal reviewing a resume. This agency that you charge affectation the best important admonition in a way that hooks your clairvoyant and is acutely visible. A awash resume may accommodate a abundance of abundant information, but your admirers acceptable will not accept the time to locate it. Back you accept a template, accumulate in apperception the accent of actuality able to bound browse your resume.
Lead with your qualifications
Set a the objectives statement. Advertence an cold can focus the hiring action on your needs, back you should be allurement how you can ample the needs of your abeyant employer. Instead of an objectives statement, advance with a abbreviate book that summarizes the abilities and acquaintance that you can accompany to the position in question. Imagine that you will be administration an elevator with the hiring manager, and that you will accept 15-20 abnormal to acquaint him or her why you are the ideal candidate.
Think about the admired abilities you accept abstruse while in college. Your archetype will allege to the courses you accept taken, so use your abilities account as a amalgam of sorts. For example, if you are a bifold above or accept a accessory in a conduct that is absolutely audible from your major, you ability say that you are able of managing complicated requirements above assorted disciplines. If you formed 20 hours a anniversary while demography a abounding chic load, you ability accompaniment that you can achieve affection assignment while beneath pressure.
Place your apprenticeship next
As a contempo graduate, your amount is one of your best affairs credibility — so affection it acutely a the top of your resume. In accession to the amount appellation and academy name, accommodate several ammo credibility that allegorize your cogent bookish accomplishments. This is abnormally important if your amount is in a actual ample field, such as ysis or English, area your accurate accomplishment set may not be anon apparent.
Consider highlighting your GPA, any appropriate programs that you alternate in (such as apprentice advising committees or abstraction away opportunities), and any bookish awards that you won. If you completed a apogee activity or chief paper, briefly call it here. If your amount is in an abnormal subject, or if you advised it as an interdisciplinary degree, accommodate a one- or two-line arbitrary of the focus of your studies.
Continue with assignment experience
Prioritize those positions you accept captivated while in college, with an accent on internships and practical, hands-on experiences. Resume admonition for added accomplished individuals generally emphasizes the accent of alienated application gaps. This is beneath important for academy acceptance and contempo graduates back it is not aberrant for acceptance to be sporadically active as they focus on their education.
If you captivated jobs that were not accompanying to your career aspirations, do not abatement their value. Do accommodate your aliment commitment or abundance agent experiences, but absorb career-relevant admonition into your ammo points. For example, any job involving added bodies requires teamwork. If you alternation new employees, you accept mentorship experience. If you accept several areas of albatross (i.e. alive registers, stocking shelves, and answering customers' questions), you are accustomed with acclimation aggressive demands for your time. In added words, do not artlessly call the position — call your responsibilities (for example, "I ensured chump achievement in a time-sensitive environment.") In the interests of extenuative space, do not anguish about abrogation off acting jobs or aerial academy adventures if necessary.
Conclude with advance and extracurricular experiences
Many academy acceptance apprentice admired abilities alfresco the classroom. Sports, in particular, are accomplished for teaching teamwork, dedication, and a able assignment ethic. Volunteering for amusing causes or in a ysis lab can additionally accommodate you with real-world abilities that administration value. As with your assignment experience, succinctly explain your responsibilities and acquaint learned, rather than aloof autograph a activity description. Instead of advertence that you "volunteered in a ysis lab," you could say that you "provided account updates that abbreviated advance on an independently-run project." The additional arbitrary tells -to-be administration that you can assignment independently, as able-bodied as abide answerable for your advance — a accomplishment that best companies acutely desire.
While advancing your resume, bethink to accumulate your addendum succinct, and to focus on accomplishments that are not anon accessible from your transcripts and job titles. You accept a abundant accord to offer, but you may accept to assignment on highlighting the acquaint you abstruse above the classroom.

Examining which player options have been picked up, which have been declined
Coco Crisp will be back with the A's at the cost of just $7.5 million in 2014. (Scott W. Grau/Icon SMI)
In advance of the start of free agency on Tuesday, teams and players are scurrying to decide once and for all whether to exercise their contract options for 2014. We're still waiting for some decisions, and this list isn't comprehensive, but here's a rundown of the most prominent ones that have been made, one way or the other. We'll have a fuller account of the rest in next week's division-by-division Hot Stove previews. The players are listed alphabetically.
Norichika Aoki, Brewers: picked up
At $1.5 million, it was an easy call for Milwaukee to bring back the 32-year-old rightfielder, who has hit .287/.355/.399 with strong enough defense to deliver 6.5 WAR over two years.
Lance Berkman, Rangers: team declined
The Rangers took a huge risk when they signed a near-retirement Berkman to an $11 million deal to be their primary DH, and they received little reward for their trouble. The Big Puma hit just .242/.340/.359 in 294 plate appearances, only 12 of which came after July 6 due to a hip problem. Texas never found a satisfactory replacement, one big reason why it missed the playoffs by a single game. Declining his $12 million option was an obvious decision, though it has likely brought an ignominious end to a fine career that should garner some Hall of Fame support.
Rafael Betancourt, Rockies: team declined
Betancourt saved 47 games for the Rockies over the past two years, but at age 38 was limited to 28 1/3 innings due to a trio of trips to the disabled list, the last of which led to Tommy John surgery in September. Colorado declined his $4.25 million option knowing that he probably wouldn't pitch in 2014,. Some other team might sign him to a low-cost, two-year deal to supervise his rehab and secure the services of a righty who delivered a 3.02 ERA, 1.8 walks and 10.6 strikeouts per nine while averaging 65 appearances from 2009-2012.
Chris Capuano, Dodgers: team declined
The Dodgers turned down their end of an $8 million mutual option on Capuano, who was a solid member of their rotation in 2012 (3.72 ERA in 198 1/3 innings) but had a rougher 2013 (4.26 ERA in 105 2/3 innings). Not only did the 35-year-old lefty hit the disabled list three times for groin, calf and lat strains, he exhibited a Jekyll-and-Hyde tendency on the mound, allowing zero or one runs in nine starts and five or more in seven others, with just four starts in the middle ground. He should find work filling out the back end of somebody's rotation.
Coco Crisp, A's: picked up
Crisp delivered great value to Oakland's AL West title teams in 2012 and '13: a total of 7.3 WAR for $13 million, including 4.3 WAR this past season (his highest since 2005) on a .261/.335/.444 line with a career-high 22 homers. As such, picking up the 34-year-old's $7.5 million option for 2014 is an easy call.
Mark Ellis, Dodgers: team declined
All too often miscast in the number two spot in the lineup due to manager Don Mattingly's lack of imagination, Ellis nonetheless provided great value for Los Angeles over the past two years thanks to his glovework. He was 22 runs above average via Defensive Runs Saved, and so despite hitting a combined .264/.328/.357 in 2012 and '13, he delivered 5.5 WAR for the cost of $7.75 million in those two seasons.
Alas, the 36-year-old second baseman played just 236 games in that span due to a couple of leg injuries, and in Los Angeles' effort to get younger, it signed Cuban import Alexander Guerrero to a four-year, $28 million deal and declined Ellis' $5.75 million option. The team could still bring him back in a utility/placeholder role while Guerrero acclimates to stateside baseball, but it's more likely he'll move on.
Casey Janssen, Blue Jays: picked up
Janssen took over Toronto's closer duties in May 2012 and hasn't looked back. This past season, he converted 34 out of 36 save opportunities and delivered a 2.56 ERA backed by strong peripherals in 52 2/3 innings. His $4 million option was a no-brainer to pick up.
Derek Jeter, Yankees: re-signed
Jeter declined his $9.5 million player option and re-signed with the Yankees via a one-year, $12 million deal. It might seem silly to guarantee an extra $2.5 million to a going-on-40-year-old player who was limited to just 17 games in 2013, but given that Jeter averaged 1.6 WAR from 2010-2012 and no doubt brings significant marketing value to a franchise that's in transition, it's only a modest overpay, not a massive one. Cliff Corcoran has more on this signing elsewhere at The Strike Zone.
Ubaldo Jimenez, Indians: player declined
Jimenez's $8 million option for 2014 was a no-brainer for the Indians to pick up, and they did, but the mid-2011 trade that sent him from Colorado to Cleveland triggered the opportunity for him to void that option, and he did. After two seasons in the wilderness, during which he struggled with his control en route to a cumulative 5.03 ERA, Jimenez cleaned up his mechanics and posted a 3.30 ERA with 9.6 strikeouts per nine over 182 2/3 innings in 2013. What's more, his 1.09 ERA in September and strong performance on the final day of the season helped the Indians to a wild card berth.
In a thin market for pitching, he's in line for a big multi-year deal. Now the question becomes whether he'll receive a $14 million qualifying offer by 5 p.m. ET on Monday, which would bring Cleveland a supplementary first-round draft pick if he signs elsewhere.
Jason Kubel, Indians: team declined
When he's healthy, Kubel can hit, but that's as long as his list of baseball skills goes, so it was a head-scratcher when the Diamondbacks signed him to a two-year, $14 million deal that required him to play the field regularly. They didn't exactly get away with it in 2012 even as he hit .253/.327.506 with 30 homers; via lousy defense, he was worth just 1.0 WAR. Amid quadriceps woes, he sank to .216/.293/.317 with five homers in 2013. He also lost his job, was designated for assignment and then traded to Cleveland, where he grew cobwebs on the bench (23 PA after Aug. 29). It's no surprise that the Indians paid the $1 million buyout instead of picking up his $7.5 million option.
Adam Lind, Blue Jays: picked up
After bopping 35 homers and hitting .305/.370/.562 in 2009, Lind turned into a pumpkin, and a rotten one at that, hitting a combined .246/.296/.428 for a yield of −0.4 WAR over the next three seasons. He rediscovered his swing in 2013, batting .288/.357/.497 with 23 homers, so the Jays picked up the 30-year-old DH/first baseman's $7 million option, the first of three similarly priced ones on his club-friendly contract.
Matt Lindstrom, White Sox: picked up
Lindstrom's strikeout rates have never matched his 95+ mph heat, but even so, he's become a reliable setup man. Pitching for his sixth team in five years, he set a career high in appearances (76) and delivered a 3.12 ERA, a 57 percent groundball rate and just 0.3 homers per nine, offsetting his meager 6.8 strikeouts per nine. The White Sox exercised their $4 million option.
Johan Santana, Mets: team declined
Santana didn't pitch for the Mets at all in 2013 after re-tearing his shoulder capsule and has managed just 117 innings with a 4.85 ERA since late 2010, all of it in 2012. Thus it's no surprise that the team chose to pay a $5.5 million buyout to end his six-year, $137.5 million deal rather than bringing him back for a whopping $25 million. New York may yet sign the two-time Cy Young winner to a lower-cost, incentive-based deal, but the track record for pitchers with even one such injury is grim.
James Shields, Royals: picked up
When they traded Wil Myers and three other prospects to Tampa Bay for Shields and Wade Davis in last winter's most controversial deal, the Royals did so knowing that they had two years of club control over the soon-to-be-32-year-old righty thanks to his $13.5 million option. They got more than their money's worth in year one. Shields earned $10.25 million and was worth at least twice that via 4.1 WAR, leading the league in innings (228 2/3) while ranking seventh in strikeouts (196) and eighth in ERA (3.15) as Kansas City broke .500 for the first time since 2003.
Jacob Turner, Marlins: picked up
Turner was the prospect at the center of the July 2012 Anibal Sanchez/Omar Infante trade with Detroit. At 22, he made 20 starts with a 3.74 ERA in his first full season with Miami in 2013 but had less-than-flattering peripherals (4.1 walks and 5.9 strikeouts per nine en route to a 4.40 FIP). For a penny-pinching team trying to rebuild, picking up his $1 million option -- built into his first professional contract in the event he wasn't arbitration-eligible by this point -- was an easy call.
Jake Westbrook, Cardinals: team declined
The 36-year-old Westbrook made 61 starts and threw 358 innings for the Cardinals in 2011 and '12 combined, but he was limited to 19 starts, 116 2/3 innings and a 4.63 ERA in 2013. Even worse, he walked more batters (3.9 per nine) than he struck out (3.4 per nine), a problem that can be fatal to a pitching career. As the postseason showed, St. Louis is bursting at the seams with talented young pitchers, so there was little need for the organization to pick up its end of the 36-year-old righty's $9.5 million mutual option.
Barry Zito, Giants: team declined
This one's not official at this writing but it may as well be, as the Giants will pay the steep $7 million buyout instead of exercising Zito's $18 million option for 2014. For the $126 million San Francisco paid the mercurial lefty over the past seven years, it received a 4.62 ERA (86 ERA+) and a grand total of 3.0 WAR.

Usher's eldest son is out of the hospital and recovering well just days after he nearly drowned in the R&B singer's swimming pool.
The singer's 5-year-old son Usher Raymond V ended up in an intensive care unit after getting his arm stuck in a pool drain while trying to retrieve a toy at his father's Atlanta home last Monday.
Both Usher and his ex-wife, Tameka Raymond, attended to their son at the hospital during his recovery, but the youngster appeared fit and well when he visited an indoor play center with his grandmother on Monday. A bandage on his right arm was the only sign of the accident.
After the incident, Tameka unsuccessfully tried to regain custody of the former couple's two boys, claiming the singer failed to care for the children effectively.
A U.S. judge at Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta ruled against her on Friday, and Usher still holds full custody of the kids, while Tameka has limited custodial rights.

B.J. Upton notches 1,000th career hit
ATLANTA -- Jason Heyward teased B.J. Upton about his impending 1,000th career hit, joking that Upton would achieve the milestone on a bloop hit. Heyward was not far off as Upton reached the mark with an infield single on Saturday night at Turner Field.
Although Upton did not record his 1,000th the way he envisioned, he had no complaints following the Braves' 4-1 victory against the Reds.
"It's very similar to a bloop, but I'll take it," Upton said. "I'll take the 1,000."
Upton received a standing ovation after he hit a slow dribbler that eluded the glove of Cincinnati starter Mike Leake before bouncing off the left side of the mound, changing directions on charging shortstop Zack Cozart.
He also recorded his 999th hit with an infield single, beating out a throw by Reds third baseman Todd Frazier on a grounder down the foul line on Friday night.
"Any time you can stay around long enough to get 1,000 hits in the big leagues, that's pretty cool," Upton said.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez added: "There aren't very many people who have played this game a long time and got 1,000 hits. Good for him. Good for him to do it at home also."
Upton endured a frustrating beginning to his career as a Brave that saw him bat a career-worst .184 (72-for-391) with 151 strikeouts in the first season of a five-year contract worth $75 million.
When discussing his impending milestone before the game, Upton joked, "Unfortunately, it took a while to get there."
However, the tide has seemingly turned for Upton so far this year.
Since beginning the season in a 1-for-17 slump with no walks and 10 strikeouts, Upton is batting .246 (17-for-69) with nine walks and 17 strikeouts. He has hit safely in 13 of his past 17 games with a plate appearance.
Upton's decision to wear glasses inspires confidence he can potentially reach 2,000 at a pace a little more to his liking.
"I've felt pretty good the last week or so, so I don't know if the glasses had anything to do with it," Upton said. "But as far as vision-wise, they're definitely helping."
He plans to change from his standard glasses to a more baseball-friendly wraparound pair in the coming days. He also plans to get some prescription sunglasses.
Upton will stick with glasses moving forward because he does not want to wear contacts.
"On both sides of the ball, just seeing things a little bit clearer," Upton said. "My depth perception's a little bit better, so it was something I noticed last night after wearing them, and I decided to wear them today."

(1) Herculaneum – Herculaneum III (CF 140)
(2) Oliver Leicht – Raume
(3) Taylor Ho Bynum / Abraham Gomez-Delgado – Positive Catastrophe
All three of these recording are worth searching out. But then, I have to confess to a real weakness for the kind of small ensemble or little big band sound that even the 10tet Positive Catastrophe represents. For me, this size of ensemble and this sensibility continues to present some of the most creative opportunities to make exciting music in Jazz.
I'm guessing by the title "III" that this is the third recording of Herculaneum, but (1) is the first time I've heard them. It is a nice lineup of two brass, two reeds, with a guitar-led rhythm section, plus three of these players double on another instrument, increasing the arranger's palette. The nine new compositions here, most of them by drummer and vibes player Dylan Ryan, come right out of the Gil Evans and Gerry Mulligan school of Cool Jazz, but this is no retro ensemble. In particular, David McDonnell's alto sax can have a loose and outside sensibility, a bit like some of Steve Coleman's work. They are a fine band, and I will be out looking for albums II and I.
Oliver Leicht leads an 8tet called [ACHT.] on (2). It's really a 7tet of brass and rhythm over which Leicht's rich, woody clarinet bounces joyfully. The low end horn section is amazingly tight, and the voicings Leicht writes for French horn, euphonium, trombone, and tuba are all warm and fat. Plus the rhythm trio is lithe and fresh, swinging without a lot of flashiness. They make a nice post-Bop big band sound, inside but always interesting and never lost in long solo flights. Again those Birth of the Cool sessions come to mind, but as with (1), Leicht and company have a looser and more post Ornette sense of harmony, and that makes (2) both new and worth your time.
Finally, Positive Catastrophe is an exciting project. The co-leaders are Taylor Ho Bynum, who brings along his progressive Jazz creds, and Abraham Gomez-Delgado, whose work comes out if the progressive Latino bands scene in New York City. It might sound like an odd combination, but all these cats can play, and the results on (3) have got a bit of Microscopic 7tet in them, and a heavy dose of the fun and the complexity of Sun Ra, too. Jen Shyu has a fine alto voice, and plays the June Tyson role on all four parts of "Travels," the band's tribute to the Arkestra. But she sings a more straight, big band vocal on "Stillness/Life" and she plays the erhu throughout, as well. "Revamped" features her erhu with Keith Witty's acoustic bass and Pete Fitzpatrick's electric guitar for a sort of Lounge Lizards style string summit. The Latin touch that Gomez-Delgado and his associates bring to the music is a subtle but solid ground for the Spaceship Ho Bynum leads. There's nothing quite like it that I've heard. Their roots go back to Don Cherry's MultiKulti, and there is more than a little of all the great works on the Asian Improv label here too. But (3) got its own sound, and a beautiful one at that. I certainly hope Positive Catastrophe is no one time project, because Jazz needs a whole lot more of what these cats can bring! Go out and find it. www.cadencebuilding.com ©Cadence Magazine 2010

The pilot of the oil tanker that nicked the San Francisco Bay Bridge late Monday morning has been involved in at least three other shipping accidents since 2009, according to a report.
According to state records uncovered by the San Jose Mercury News, Guy Kleess, of San Francisco, ran aground a 550-foot cargo ship in Sacramento, crashed a 600-foot cargo ship near Stockton, and in 2010, was found at fault when a tugboat he was sailing ran aground in the Richmond inner harbor.
His 750-foot oil tanker, called the Overseas Reymar, did not cause any major damage or injuries when it struck one of the Bay Bridge towers late Monday morning. Coast Guard officials said the tanker essentially scraped the base of the so-called "Echo Tower," or Tower 6, on the far east side of the bridge's western span around 11:20 a.m. The visibility at the time was about a quarter mile. The vessel had just left Martinez, officials said, before the accident occurred.
U.S. & World
Kleess apparently had already passed an alcohol test, and officials were waiting for a drug test to come back, according to reports. The Coast Guard was set to interview him Tuesday.
Coast Guard Lt. Commander Shawn Lansing said there was no "spill or discharge into the water" from Monday's accident and everyone aboard was safe.
Still, Lansing said, investigators are looking at the integrity of the ship, to make there is no extensive, internal structural damage. There was no damage to the Bay Bridge. The boat suffered a slight fender-bender on the starboard side of the ship, seen in the image below to the right.
But the most important thing to remember, Ney added emphatically: "The Bay Bridge is safe." He described the whole affair as a "scrape."
While this incident did not appear to wreak much havoc, the proximity of a tanker so close the Bay Bridge brought up immediate memories of the Cocso Busan.
That huge spill occurred on Nov. 7, 2007, when more than 53,000 gallons of fuel spilled into the San Francisco bay, after the container ship, the Cosco Busan, struck the Delta Tower of the Bay Bridge in thick fog.
Investigators in that case found that pilot John Cota was impaired from his use of prescription pharmaceuticals. He was sentenced to 10 months in federal prison. Then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency, releasing a flow of funds to clean up the major environmental damage.

The subject of this article or section was part of the Scourge Invasion, a world event that heralded the opening of Naxxramas in patch 1.11 or for the opening of Northrend. Once the world event has run its course, this will no longer be available.
Prince Tenris Mirkblood was introduced on October 22nd, 2008 as a part of the Scourge Invasion world event — which was itself a precursor to the release of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. He could be found in Karazhan secluded in The Guardhouse, behind a Bloodstained Door above the stables where Attumen resides, which can be accessed through the stairs after Attumen, or through the ballroom where Moroes resides. His death is required to loot the papers which are the objective of the quest [70] Chamber of Secrets. This quest is given by the Argent Emissary in all capital cities and near Light's Hope Chapel in Eastern Plaguelands.
He was supposed to be removed from the game on November 4th[1], but stayed as a temporary boss and had the [Arcanite Ripper] removed from his loot table. He was removed in patch 3.0.3.
Attacks and abilities
- Melee Attack - Deals approx. 700 damage to a T4-geared tank. This can be healed through with a simple Renew.
- Blood Mirror: The player affected by this takes equal damage Tenris takes. Lasts for around a minute. Hunters can use Feign Death, Rogues can Vanish, Mages can Ice Block, Paladins can Divine Shield and night elves can Shadowmeld in order to get out of this. It is a smart tactic to just stop all DPS until it goes away and he goes back to his original form. Let the tank alone keep aggro and the healers outheal his damage.
- Sanguine Spirit: Tenris will summon damage-immune blood spirits quite frequently during the fight. An additional spirit is also created whenever a player dies. When these reach any player they deal ~6000 Shadow damage. Make sure everyone stays away from them. They are also immune to any type of CC and cannot be killed by any means. Besides doing immense damage to a player, everytime a spirit touches a player they also heal the Prince for 5% of his maximum health.
Clear the circular hallway outside his room, then kite him around the entire hallway. Ranged DPS and healers should stand fairly close to the main tank, to avoid Spirit spawns between the tank/melee DPS and the rest of the raid. Try to slow DPS when Blood Mirror is up, and do not attempt, at any time, to use spells that dramatically increase DPS. (Bloodlust/Heroism, Bestial Wrath, etc.) You will probably want a healer on the Blood Mirror player and another on the tank. Be aware of the Sanguine Spirits, as they do a lot of damage if you touch them. More spirits come as the fight progresses, so make sure the tank and everyone else keeps moving to stay away from them.
Alternate location
If your group is having troubles spreading out in the relatively confined hallway that you have to work with, consider mis-directing or kiting to Moroes' room so you have more room to work with, and more room to spread out. If Moroes' room starts getting crowded you could even still move him next door where there's still more room. This of course requires for all the mobs to be cleared between Mirkblood and Moroes, all the mobs in Moroes' room including Moroes himself, and if you plan on moving him again, all the mobs next door.
- I smell... <race>. Delicious!
- I shall consume you!
- Drink, mortals! Taste my blood! Taste your death!
- He shares name with a random Blood Mage from Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, it is very probable they are intended to be the same (as both are elves) but by the time of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King he died and was raised by the scourge.
- It would seem that his presence in the game is a nod to JK Rowling's book "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," given his having "Prince" as his title and that half-blood is a cross between a "pure-blood" and a "mudblood" (Mirkblood), "halfbloods" having a parent of each, in the book series. Also, the quest is called "Chamber of Secrets," which is the name of the second Harry Potter book.

A Time of Coalitions: Divided We Stand
SAGE Publications, 25/05/2004 - 413 من الصفحات
This topical and absorbing book, written by two eminent journalists, convincingly argues against two commonly held beliefs concerning Indian politics. Their basic premise is that India has come a long way from the time when a single party, the Congress, dominated our polity. Instead, it has given way to multi-party configurations or coalitions which, they demonstrate, are neither temporary nor an aberration—coalitions are here to stay, they say, at least in the foreseeable future. Second, they expertly dismiss the view that India's polity is essentially bipolar, led by either of the two largest parties—the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress Party—and that other political parties have no option but to choose which of these two they will align themselves with./-//-//-/The authors take the view that coalition governments are in fact better equipped to deal with the tensions of a divided society while single-party governments tend to both centralise and homogenise. Among the numerous issues and trends cogently discussed are:/-/- the rise of the BJP from the time it was virtually wiped out of Parliament in 1984, and it's current faction-ridden character/-/- the dramatic decline of the Congress, especially the fact that the minorities and oppressed groups, once its largest constituency, are now deserting it in large numbers/-/- the continuing fragmentation of the Indian polity and the rise of regional parties which are not necessarily narrow and partisan, but capable of looking at issues from a wider perspective/-/- the changing tactics of the Left and their internal differences/-/- the crucial question of whether coalitions can provide stable Union governments/-/- the possibility of alternate political formations—headed neither by the BJP nor the Congress—coming to power at the centre/-/- the extent to which political coalitions have led to better governance, brought about a greater degree of federalism, and reduced the incidence of corruption/-/- the manner in which successive governments have handled the new politics of economic liberalisation and the central issue of growth with equity

text: Several of you emailed us this morning, frightened after receiving email notifications from the game rental service GameFly that Sony Online Entertainment's MMO The Agency for the PlayStation 3 had been canceled by the manufacturer. Instead of panicking, we decided to contact the manufacturer to see what they had to say. "Sony Online Entertainment's game, The Agency™, is still in development for release on both the PLAYSTATION®3 and PC platforms. The game sku has been reinstated to GameFly's website. Feel free to add The Agency to your GameQ!" There we go! Nothing at all to worry about. Just remember kids, retailers and rental establishments, while lovely places to visit and procure video games from, are no substitute for news directly from the game developers and publishers themselves. That's one to grow on.

Living in Carrollton offers the best of two worlds. This progressive city with a Southern flavor offers plenty of shopping, diverse restaurants and nightlife opportunities, cultural and entertainment venues including a new 10-screen theatre complex, and much more. For those needing a taste of big city life, Atlanta is only 45 minutes away.
Named a City of Excellence in Georgia and listed as one of the 50 Best Small Southern Towns, Carrollton is the cultural, educational, health care and commercial center for the west Georgia region.
The city's population of about 20,000 embraces UWG students, faculty and staff, and welcomes the diversity the university contributes to the vibrancy of life in Carroll County.
Residents enjoy a variety of cultural activities and entertainment in Carrollton, one of Georgia's Main Street cities. Shops, galleries and restaurants line the recently revitalized downtown square, and the city offers movies, dancing, theatrical productions and dining that ranges from Southern to gourmet and international cuisine.
A new $6 million Cultural Arts Center showcases the arts, and recreational activities abound through an award-winning parks and recreation program and the county's 33,421 acres of state, public and private recreational parks and facilities.
Each season offers unique local events such as Mayfest in the spring, the People's Parade on July 4th, the Off the Square Arts and Crafts Show in the fall, and the Christmas Tree Parade in the winter. Opportunities for year-round recreation include such local attractions as John Tanner State Park or McIntosh Reserve Park.

A new poll is out about 2016. Which of the following do you think comes closest to Hillary Clinton?
a. Jeb Bush
b. Paul Ryan
c. Chris Christie
d. Marco Rubio
It's not even close:
Clinton also would lead three possible GOP candidates -- former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Rep. Paul Ryan (Wis.) -- by margins of 14 percentage points. A matchup against Clinton and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, whom she edged 44 percent to 42 percent, could be much closer.
I'm a little surprised at Jeb's weakness, and I'm mildly surprised Christie is that close. HRC tops 50 against the others, but Christie drags her all the way down to 44, seemingly confirming a poll I saw yesterday finding that Christie is right now more popular among independents and Democrats than he is among Republicans.
That would be an interesting match up, no? Of course, once Christie started acting like a conservative Republican again, he'd lose a lot of that independent/Democratic support.
Making predictions this far out is usually absurd, but it's pretty hard to see how she can lose to any of these people. When conservatives get bug-eyed about the Democrat, they do and say really stupid and offensive things, as some have about HRC recently with respect to her illness, and they offend most normal decent Americans, so I say Democrats need to keep nominating people who make right-wingers apoplectic, and they can't miss.

Just weeks after Mountain Dew nosedived into a PR disaster for making what some called "arguably the most racist commercial in history," pen-maker Uni-Ball is courting trouble with a commercial that mocks black men in prison, playing up racial linguistic stereotypes.
The ad opens with a muscled black man in a prison cell reading a letter. "What up homie," it begins, before describing how "we got a hood snitch up in the pen. We gon' cut you loose like a noose." In the words of the commercial, "I ain't spittin, yo."
The joke is that the cliché-filled letter about "knocking boots with some hood rats" is narrated in an upper-crust English accent, as if the guy doing voiceovers for Grey Poupon stepped into the wrong sound booth. This is because the letter is typed in the Edwardian Script font, rather than handwritten by the writer himself with a Uni-ball pen.
The ad was made by the South African branch of TBWA Worldwide. The premise appears to be about the American racial stereotype of the gangsta, not something from South Africa's apartheid past.
While pen manufacturers don't seem like an industry that would seek controversy, last August Bic caused an uproar for offer specialized, more expensive, pink pens "for her."
The "Bust You Out" ad comes with two other videos that don't use racial stereotypes.
Here's a letter titled "Swapped at Birth," read in the Broadway font:
And here's "Pappy is dead," read in everyone's least favorite font, Comic Sans:

The RSBS Digest: Poor Management
When I quit smoking, I took up the habit of chewing on toothpicks — to keep my orally stimulated addiction in check. The worst part about it? People often say: "Hey, Jeff, fiddlin' with 'dem toothpicks… you remind me of Dusty Baker."
Being compared to Baker may make my skin curdle with infectious disgust, but I suppose that's still better than blackening my lungs and dying young of emphysema.
Or is it?
Dear readers, believe me, I do respect Dusty Baker as a human being. I mean, look at him, he breathes on his own, his heart pumps without having to think about it… all very impressive indeed; but as a baseball connoisseur, there's no way in Jesus-hates-the-Cubs-Hell I want him managing my baseball team. Often blamed for the mass destruction of young, promising arms with infinite potential (see Mark Prior, Kerry Wood, Homer Bailey), Dusty Baker also lacks the one thing that makes good managers great and great managers Tony LaRussa… and that thing is: common sense.
In the 7th inning of last evening's contest between the Cardinals and Reds, a game that at that point was still wide open, Dusty Baker brought in his nearly-virginal relief pitcher, young righty Logan Ondrusek, to face Brendan Ryan. With Albert Pujols on deck, Ondrusek quickly walked Ryan, unable to find the strike zone like Mr. Krause is unable to find a meaningful relationship with a woman (though, to his credit, he does surprisingly well with primates). Instead of yanking Ondrusek like he probably should have, Dusty left the kid — in only his second Major League appearance — in the game to face one of the greatest hitters of all time.
Albert rocked him.
So did Matt Holliday.
Game over.
Welcome to the Big Leagues, kid! If your arm didn't hurt before you became a Redleg, believe me when I say you won't even be able to shake hands after Dusty's done with ya!
Hate me 'cuz I put it out there, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

This post presents a solution to a question on Stack Overflow which I found interesting, this is a question I've seen crop up a few times now in one form or another:
"I have an ObservableCollection feeding a DataGrid that is updating nicely. The point: I want to filter (collapse) the rows without removing them from the collection. Is there a way to do this?"
You can remove rows from a DataGrid by removing items from the ObservableCollection<T> that the grid's ItemsSource property is bound to, but the question asks is there a way to avoid this. The way I see it a solution to this question will firstly offer a way to filter the rows displayed in a DataGrid without affecting the Count of the original ObservableCollection<T> and secondly provide a way to easily discern which rows are currently filtered and which are displayed after the filter has been applied. The intent is also to provide a solution general enough to be reused with any type T in an ObservableCollection<T>.
The solution structure of the simple demo solution available for download above looks as follows:
The demo application running looks as follows:
This UI is produced from the contents of Page.xaml:
<UserControl x:Class="DataGridRowFiltering.Page" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:data="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data" xmlns:input="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Windows.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Windows.Controls.Input"> <StackPanel Margin="5,5,5,5" x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,15,0,15"> <TextBlock Text="Age Filter" FontSize="16" VerticalAlignment="Center" TextAlignment="Center" Margin="0,0,10,0" /> <input:NumericUpDown Width="40" x:Name="FilterValue" DecimalPlaces="0" Minimum="20.0" Maximum="25.0" Margin="0,0,10,0" /> <Button x:Name="FilterButton" Content="Apply Filter" Click="FilterButton_Click" /> </StackPanel> <StackPanel Margin="0,15,0,15"> <TextBlock Text="Filtered People" FontSize="16" /> <data:DataGrid x:Name="FilteredPeople" AutoGenerateColumns="True" IsReadOnly="True" /> </StackPanel> <StackPanel Margin="0,15,0,15"> <TextBlock Text="All People" FontSize="16" /> <data:DataGrid x:Name="AllPeople" AutoGenerateColumns="True" IsReadOnly="True" /> </StackPanel> </StackPanel> </UserControl>
The Xaml contains two DataGrids, a NumericUpDown control from the Silverlight Toolkit and a standard Button control. When the 'Apply Filter' button is clicked the people (or rows) shown in the FilteredPeople grid are filtered, the row count in the AllPeople grid remains unchanged. The filter excludes people whose Age property does not equal the current value of the NumericUpDown control.
The events for the UI are in Page.xaml.cs:
using System; using System.Collections.ObjectModel; using System.Linq; using System.Windows; using System.Windows.Controls; namespace DataGridRowFiltering { public partial class Page : UserControl { ObservableCollection<Person> people = new ObservableCollection<Person>() { new Person("Peter", 20), new Person("Bill", 21), new Person("Joe", 21), new Person("David", 23), new Person("Steve", 24), new Person("Jeff", 25), }; public Page() { InitializeComponent(); Loaded += Page_Loaded; } private void Page_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { FilteredPeople.ItemsSource = people; AllPeople.ItemsSource = people; } private void FilterButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { int selectedAge = Convert.ToInt32(FilterValue.Value); FilteredPeople.ItemsSource = people.ApplyMutateFilter(p => p.Age == selectedAge, p => p.IsVisible = true, p => p.IsVisible = false); } } }
The Page class has an ObservableCollection<Person> called 'people' containing 6 instances of the Person class. The Person class is a simple class that implements the INotifyPropertyChanged interface and has properties called FirstName, Age and IsVisible.
When an instance of the Page UserControl is loaded the ItemsSource property of both DataGrids is bound to the people collection resulting in the screenshot shown earlier.
When the 'Apply Filter' button is clicked we store the current value of the NumericUpDown control in the selectedAge variable and set the ItemsSource of the FilteredPeople grid to the result of calling the ApplyMutateFilter<T> extension method:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; namespace DataGridRowFiltering { public static class Extensions { /// <summary> /// Applies an action to each item in the sequence, which action depends on the evaluation of the predicate. /// </summary> /// <typeparam name="TSource">The type of the elements of source.</typeparam> /// <param name="source">A sequence to filter.</param> /// <param name="predicate">A function to test each element for a condition.</param> /// <param name="posAction">An action used to mutate elements that match the predicate's condition.</param> /// <param name="negAction">An action used to mutate elements that do not match the predicate's condition.</param> /// <returns>The elements in the sequence that matched the predicate's condition and were transformed by posAction.</returns> public static IEnumerable<TSource> ApplyMutateFilter<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, bool> predicate, Action<TSource> posAction, Action<TSource> negAction) { if (source != null) { foreach (TSource item in source) { if (predicate(item)) { posAction(item); } else { negAction(item); } } } return source.Where(predicate); } } }
This method takes one predicate and two actions. A 'predicate' in this case just means a function that takes a parameter of type TSource and returns true or false. Similarly an 'action' is just a function that takes a parameter of type TSource and returns void.
In the call to ApplyMutateFilter<T> in the event handler for the button's Click event above, the predicate function is designed to return the result of the comparison between a Person object's Age property and the value of selectedAge. The two action functions are designed to set the value of the IsVisible property on a Person object to either true or false.
The ApplyMutateFilter<T> extension method body applies one of these actions to every item in the sequence, which action depends on the evaluation of the predicate. If the predicate returns true the positive action is executed otherwise the negative action is executed resulting in the value of the IsVisible property changing.
Finally only the elements in the sequence that matched the predicate are returned with the call to the Where<T> extension method, thus the filter is applied.
It's important to remember that setting the IsVisible property does not make the row disappear from the DataGrid; it's the call to Where<T> that filters the sequence. The IsVisible property is merely a convenient way of later finding which elements have been affected by the current filter in code, for example if you wanted to know what rows are currently being shown in the DataGrid after a filter has been applied.
Here is a screen shot after clicking the 'Apply Filter' button with a selected age of 21:
The FilteredPeople DataGrid now only displays people aged 21. The grid is now bound to the filtered sequence returned from the call to ApplyMutateFilter<T> with a predicate comparing each Person object's Age property to the selectedAge of 21.
The screenshot shows the rows have been filtered in the first DataGrid without affecting the Count of the original ObservableCollection<T> which the second DataGrid's is still bound to, thus satisfying the first task we set out to achieve.
Finally it's clear to see the second requirement has been fulfilled from the state of the IsVisible properties. The value of this property makes it easy to discern which rows in the original ObservableCollection<T> are currently filtered and which are displayed after the filter has been applied.
Altering the predicate is all that's required to apply a filter to a different property/column or a combination of several properties/columns.

Velociraptor Dress
I think I'm actually liking this idea a lot more than the pillowcase dresses, because, duh, it's way more fangeek. It's tricky with the bias straps, though, because they ought to be all mitchy-matchy, but I hate to buy new fabric.
Fortunately, Mr. Velociraptor also has some pale green accents to complement the pale green fabric I used here:I'm making this pattern to include in my book proposal, but I'll also likely have a few of these dresses up on my pumpkinbear etsy shop this weekend after I'm satisfied with the way it's working, because it's a good way to use up my stash of awesome T-shirts.

Shaun White shakes off controversy to win Burton U.S. Open
Shaun White shed any doubt that he remains the world's best halfpipe rider by winning the Burton U.S. Open on Saturday in Vail, Colo.
But the win didn't come without some controversy.
Japanese rider Ayumu Hirano, 14, who exploded onto the snowboarding' scene at the Winter X Games last month, put pressure on White early. Hirano's first run run was "bigger, cleaner and smoother" than White's, according to Kevin Pearce, a former competitive snowboarder and now a broadcast analyst.
But Hirano's score, an 84.85, fell eight points short of White's 92.13. The scoring difference ignited a quick controversy.
Women's slopestyle champion Spencer O'Brien tweeted:
"There's no way that (Shaun's) run was 8 points higher than #AyumiHiranos. It was great but that big of a gap is bull."
Webcast host Henry Jackson called the scoring "shenanigans."
White responded with a more difficult second run by adding another double cork 1260. White improved his score to 95.58, which withstood challenges by Ayumo and third-place finisher Louie Vito.
"It felt good. I think it's the best I've ever landed the front double 12," White said after his win.
Remarking on Hirano's explosive amplitude despite being a younger and smaller rider, White offered praise.
"I love watching him ride because it's a nice reminder ... He's not the biggest guy out there and neither am I," White said. "It's all about the mindset and how you use the terrain. What a talent, it's awesome to see."
In the women's halfpipe competition, Kelly Clark made history by claiming her sixth U.S. Open title, the most of any competitor. Clark beat Hannah Teter and Arielle Gold with a score of 84.45.
It was Clark's second consecutive World Snowboard Tour victory. Clark said she competes in every contest that she can to improve her riding.
"I think everyone has a really different style of learning," she said. "I personally am better doing contests to get ready for contests. I wanna be in those situations. I wanna fall first run and pick myself back up and build confidence moving forward and say this could realistically happen at the X games, or the Open or the Olympics."
White has won the U.S. Open five times, tying him with Danny Kass.
White and others praised the halfpipe in Vail. It's a sharp contrast to the halfpipe in Sochi, Russia, where some athletes competed last month. "Coming here was so nice, like flying first class," Vito said of the pipe at Vail. "Russia was challenging to say the least. The weather was 55 degrees all day and all night."
White expressed confidence that the Sochi pipe would meet expectations for next February's Olympics.
"We went to Vancouver and the first day of practice there was literally a river of water coming down the middle of the halfpipe. I have faith they'll pull it out. If they can pull that out (in Vancouver), I'm sure Russia will be amazing."
The U.S. Open is the final event for White's season. He'll skip Winter X Games Europe later this month in France.
