Splinter Cell Conviction and Red Steel 2 Delayed Amongst Other Ubisoft Games
Both Splinter Cell: Conviction (PC, Xbox 360) and Red Steel 2 (Wii) have been bumped out of 2009, and are now expected to release between January 1 and March 31, 2010. Conviction was originally due in Q4 2007, with at least four delays now under its belt.
Also delayed were the new Ghost Recon and I Am Alive. Once due between January and March 2010, both are now expected between April 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011.
"We are disappointed that we have to postpone the release of several major games but we consider that this choice is the best one in the long-term interests of Ubisoft," CEO Yves Guillemot explained in a statement.

the poll question for today is
IS the obama administration just a front for the brotherhood? :dunno::pokinit:
we hand out billions of $$$ we don't have every year to dozens islamic states many of which are openly hostile even at war with the US and the west.
we let islamic students in the US by the tens of thousands every year, i got a feeling were paying for that with our tax $$ as well.
no accountability at all on these students nor any background check to see if their connected to al-quaida or tango either.
and then when a saudi IS involved in the boston marathon bombings he gets treated with kid gloves, gets flown out of the country in the governments private jet--first class.
then the press tries to spin the whole terror attack into a 'domestic' thing rather than what it is .
a terrorist attack by a foreign group on US soil.
to me it looks like the islamic radicals occupy the white house and are making policy. :nono2:
hell the economic policys of this administration seems hell bent to move the few remaining jobs overseas, run up enormous debts and deflate the value of the US dollar!
don't it sound like some kind of PLOT to squash the US economy?
and all the military shit is getting cut to the bone and they were running lean anyway.
and we got all that leakage of military secret hardware to china.
and we got the reduction of the nuke stockpile to just a small fraction of what it was.
it looks like obama is hell bent on "taking out the US as a world power to me.
is the obama administration just a front for the brotherhood?

To prove the BSD conjecture, one has to know about 'the finiteness of the Shafarevich Tate group'. But, an example of an elliptic curve of rank 2 (whose Sha group $Ш(E/\mathbb{Q})$ is finite) is not yet known.
Is there any example of an elliptic curve of rank 2 such that $p$-primary components of Ш are trivial for $p$ outside a finite set of primes?. In particular, $Ш(E/\mathbb{Q})[p]$ is trivial for $p$ $\neq$ 2, 3, 5, 7.

Academics . Foundation . Courses
Charette: Collaboration + Community
Course No. FND 140A Credits: 1.5
Faculty Jimmy Kuehnle | Kevin Kautenburger | Scott Ligon
This one-half semester course is framed by the theme of Community and Collaboration. The students and instructor work collaboratively to define and explore "community" as local place and learning environment. They identify and activate connections among charette members and their specified community in order to develop a consensual creative response. Through sustained exploration of one theme, the Charette emphasizes the development of skills for critical and creative thinking, experiential learning, problem-solving, and collaboration. Through materials exploration, making processes, and critique, the Charette forges links with the visual, tactile and manual skill sets taught in other Foundation classes. Each student's effort, progress, and work will contribute to a collaborative project developed over 7 weeks, to include both a charette documentation log as well as a collaborative 2D, 3D, or 4D form. Offered fall.
Charette: Self + Other Voices
Course No. FND 140B Credits: 1.5
Faculty Christian Wulffen | Petra Soesemann | William Lorton
This one-half semester course is framed by the theme of Self and other Voices. As an exploration of one's self in relation to culture and society, the course facilitates increased self-knowledge and helps students uncover their views of "other." The students and instructor work collaboratively to define and explore "other voices," cultivate connections with those other voices, and develop creative responses. Through sustained exploration of one theme, the Charette gives priority to the development of skills for critical and creative thinking, experiential learning, problem-solving, and collaboration. Through materials exploration, making processes, and critique, the Charette forges links with the visual, tactile, and manual skill sets being taught in other Foundation classes. Each student's effort, progress, and work will contribute to a project developed over 7 weeks, to include both a charette documentation log and a 2D, 3D, and/or 4D form. Offered fall.
Design I
Course No. FND 107 Credits: 3.0
Faculty Jerry Birchfield Jr | Jessica Pinsky | Jimmy Kuehnle | Kevin Kautenburger | Lane Cooper | Petra Soesemann | Scott Goss | William Lorton
In this fundamental visual composition course, students learn the primary elements and principles of visual language, and are introduced to a range of formal and conceptual problems which become increasingly complex as the course progresses. Students are challenged to explore core design principles of visual organization in unique and challenging ways, and to gain the ability to problem-solve through ideation processes, group dialogue, perceptual refinement and skill management. Developing analytical skills and the ability to effectively engage in an on-going process of critique are also core components of the course. Design1 involves the planning and organization of the parts within a whole, through a sense of experimentation, risk taking and discovery. This course focuses primarily on two-dimensional forms but also gradually introduces three-dimensional forms. Material exploration and the development of strong manual skills in regard to visual acuity and craft sensitivity are a key aspect of every assignment. Knowledge and skills gained in concurrent Foundation program areas such as color, drawing and digital skills are fundamental for communicating ideas and are reinforced in Design 1. Offered fall.
Design II
Course No. FND 108 Credits: 3.0
Faculty Jimmy Kuehnle | Kathy Buszkiewicz | Kevin Kautenburger | Petra Soesemann
Prerequisite(s) Design I
This course builds on the experiences of Design 1, with compositional and conceptual problems being explored fully in three dimensions. Form, mass, volume, spatial interactions, material qualities, and physical forces are key factors. Students continue to learn to perceive and control visual relationships within the design structures they make. The aesthetic and conceptual potential of materials and processes (craft) are also vital aspects of this studio course. Creative processes of problem solving through research, investigation and ideation, together with an attitude of discovery, are required for all concept and project explorations. Ideational drawing, model making, material studies, and prototypes contribute to developing ideas to a high and thoughtful level. Various methods and approaches to giving form (such as additive, subtractive, assemblage and joinery) are challenges for every concept explored. Design 2 projects have the potential to be explored as sculpture, functional design, or even as hybrid. Students are challenged to follow their passions and gain experience in self-directing project outcomes. Prerequisite: FND 107 Design I. Offered spring.
Design Lab
Course No. FND 107L Credits: 0.0
Design Lab class introduces woodshop safety and basic skills in machinery use. Students learn the fundamental characteristics of wood as a versatile medium, as well as appropriate construction methods for particular applications. Offered fall and spring.
Digital Color
Course No. FND 103D Credits: 1.5
Faculty Kristin Thompson-Smith | Scott Ligon | Scott Goss
This one-half semester course introduces color in additive synthesis (light). The course explores color theory, perception, and application, through a series of fundamental color investigations offering opportunities for multiple compositional solutions and the development of digital skills. In tandem with its companion course, Foundation Material Color, students pursue a personal color sensibility, in preparation for any art or design field. Course structure consists of introductory concept lectures, technical instruction, lab time with guidance and group critique of finished assignments. Offered fall.
Digital Synthesis
Course No. FND 104 Credits: 3.0
Faculty Gerald Shamray | Jimmy Kuehnle | Scott Ligon | Scott Goss
Prerequisite(s) Digital Color
Explores crucial and far-reaching concepts associated with digital art and technology as these concepts interface with foundational concepts of aesthetics and visual communications. Digital synthesis explores: the assembly and creation of imagery from different source materials; time-based images using various approaches to animation; the structure and logic of narrative storytelling with digital video; and the structure and logic of interactivity through the creation of work where the structure, sequence and outcome is influenced by the participation of the viewer. Course structure consists of introductory concept lectures, technical instruction, lab time with guidance and group critique of finished assignments. Prerequisite: FND 103D Digital Color. Offered spring.
Drawing I
Course No. FND 117 Credits: 3.0
Faculty Amber Kempthorn | Anthony Ingrisano | Christian Wulffen | Gretchen Goss | Michael Meier | Peter Green | Sarah Kabot | Terry Clark
Primary goals of Drawing 1 focus on core drawing concepts; basic methods, tools and materials; and an introduction into the language of mark making. Composition and visual analysis are emphasized through drawing from observation, including perspective theories as they relate to objects and environments. Students utilize observational information to develop a broad range of manual and perceptual skills and to develop an ability to translate the three-dimensional world into two dimensions. Students are challenged to develop a strong drawing practice through in-class work, out of class assignments, and in on-going drawing/sketch books. Offered fall.

During Sunday's broadcast of Fox News Channel's "America's News HQ," Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Inhofe threatened to use the filibuster to derail the confirmation of former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel as secretary of defense.
According to Inhofe, Hagel is unfit to take the top defense post, in part because of remarks he has made about the United States.
"Does it occur to you — are you at all concerned that the Ministry of Iran is endorsing his candidacy? … The Al-Jazeera interview where he agreed that America is the world's bully. He agreed that Israel is guilty of committing war crimes.
"You know, this is the type of thing that you can't accept. I know he is popular, and I know that he is going to do his best. I will do my best to see that he is not the secretary of defense."
"I would threaten to cause a 60-vote margin, yes I would," Inhofe added. "If it took a filibuster, I'd do it that way."
The senator added that the filibuster would not be unprecedented, particularly for high-level appointments, even though other Republicans have been reluctant to use the measure to stall Hagel's appointment.
"In the last nine years we is done it nine times. And some of them have been confirmed, some have is not. I don't see anything wrong with requiring a 60-vote margin for either one of the two most significant jobs or appointments that a president has. Frankly, I don't trust this president to make the right appointments. I don't think that Hagel is the right appointment."

Windows Azure Virtual Machines - Make Sure You Follow the Documentation
To create a Windows Azure Infrastructure-as-a-Service Virtual Machine you have several options. You can simply select an image from a "Gallery" which includes Windows or Linux operating systems, or even a Windows Server with pre-installed software like SQL Server.
One of the advantages to Windows Azure Virtual Machines is that it is stored in a standard Hyper-V format – with the base hard-disk as a VHD. That means you can move a Virtual Machine from on-premises to Windows Azure, and then move it back again. You can even use a simple series of PowerShell scripts to do the move, or automate it with other methods.
And this then leads to another very interesting option for deploying systems: you can create a server VHD, configure it with the software you want, and then run the "SYSPREP" process on it. SYSPREP is a Windows utility that essentially strips the identity from a system, and when you re-start that system it asks a few details on what you want to call it and so on. By doing this, you can essentially create your own gallery of systems, either for testing, development servers, demo systems and more. You can learn more about how to do that here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg465407.aspx
But there is a small issue you can run into that I wanted to make you aware of. Whenever you deploy a system to Windows Azure Virtual Machines, you must meet certain password complexity requirements. However, when you build the machine locally and SYSPREP it, you might not choose a strong password for the account you use to Remote Desktop to the machine. In that case, you might not be able to reach the system after you deploy it.
Once again, the key here is reading through the instructions before you start. Check out the link I showed above, and this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc264456.aspx to make sure you understand what you want to deploy.

Where in the World is…Julianne Hough?
Well, Julianne is a busy little bee. 🙂 This past week, she tested for a lead role in the remake of Footloose, also staring Chace Crawford (but which should be staring DEREK HOUGH – sorry John). According to Entertainment Weekly's Hollywood Insider (and a billion other outlets):
Crawford may soon have his onscreen dance partner. A Paramount spokesperson confirmed to EW that Dancing With the Stars' Julianne Hough will screen-test this week. Hough's recent success as a country music star could give her an advantage. Says Meron, "It's a much more singing-intensive movie for the female lead."
Throughout the summer, Julianne will be on tour opening for George Strait and Blake Shelton – there are 42 cities listed on her official web site so odds are good that she's going to be at a town near you.
In the recent past, Julianne has raked in a number of honors, not the least of which was the Academy of Country Music's Top New Artist award. She was also named to Maxim's Hot 100 list (see what brother Derek has to say about her number 25 rank) and People's Most Beautiful list.
Next up, besides the tour? The CMT Awards on June 16 in Nashville. Julianne is up for USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year for That Song in My Head.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said that U.S. troops currently stationed in the country "have to go," NBC News reported.
The U.S. has withdrawn much of its military presence in the Philippines, but some special forces remain on a southern island in the archipelago, training Filipino troops to fight against ISIS-linked group Abu Sayyaf.
At a public appearance Monday, Duterte said that the U.S. presence in the country could complicate the Philippines' offensives against the Islamist militants, who are known for beheading and kidnapping Westerners.
In his speech, the Philippine president echoed comments he'd made last week accusing the U.S. of atrocities against Muslims on Jolo Island more than a century ago.
Duterte was in the U.S. spotlight last week, after using profanity directed toward President Obama in a television interview.

DataDiggers owns a double opt-in online panel in Latvia recruited from multiple quality sources to be national representative and bias-free. As ESOMAR and MRA members we manage our online panel in Latvia in strict adherence to the quality rules stipulated in the ESOMAR's code of conduct, going from the panel recruitment set-up and up to the incentives delivery. That pays off in a higher response rate, a stronger loyalty and a longer lifetime span for our members.
Our online panel in Latvia includes various consumer, B2B and healthcare target groups which are ready to participate in quantitative and/or qualitative types of market research projects, such as: usage & attitudes, concept tests, product tests, online focus groups, online communities, mobile surveys, online diaries and many more.
Stats counter
Quality control
When it comes to quality DataDiggers makes no compromise: from the panel recruitment settings and up to delivering the final data to clients, we run everything flawlessly in strict adherence to the ESOMAR's code of conduct.
Here's how we do quality control for our proprietary online panel in Latvia:
- Rigorous and diverse recruitment sources: we use multiple channels for panel recruitment to ensure a correct representation of the population and also to avoid any bias caused by possible skew in terms of demographics or consumer behaviour: marketing affiliates, members' recommendation, e-commerce websites and information websites.
- Full control on geo-location: someone living in a different territory than the one he/she is trying to join as panel member cannot even see the registration form, so it's basically impossible for a Romanian living in UK to join our Romanian panel, for instance. Moreover, entering a valid zip code is a mandatory item to become our panel member, which is an extra step to ensure the place of living declared by panel members is real.
- High-quality panel maintenance: at DataDiggers we pay extra attention on providing a quality panel support to our members, with quick feedback delivered in local languages to all their inquiries and with low rewards redemption levels, creating a win-win environment and ensuring a high response rate across panels.
- Multiple options in terms of rewards redemption methods: by PayPal, in cash, by wire transfer or through online vouchers, this is how our panel members can redeem the rewards they win, based on their preference. We believe it's fair to offer a variety of options for them to choose from and that pays back in a high response rate across panels.
- Digital fingerprinting technology: duplicates and fraudulents (straightliners, speedsters, red herrings, those providing unusable answers in open ended questions) are automatically flagged and those who repeatedly manifest the same behaviour are purged from panel on a regular basis.
Panel breakdown
Here is the breakdown of our online panel in Latvia in terms of age, gender and region. Further spreads on demographics and national representative distributions are always available upon request, so contact us whenever you need more details.
- 15-24 (10%)
- 25-34 (28%)
- 35-44 (23%)

- Females (63%)
- Pierīga (15%)
- Latgale (7%)
- Vidzeme (19%)
- Rīga (39%)
- Zemgale (8%)

Profiling available
All our panels are deeply profiled by a large number of criteria such as automotive, household, food & beverage, technology & gaming, parenting, travel and banking. Our online panel in Latvia makes no exception. The profiling questions under each main category are updated on a regular basis to keep up with the continuous changes on the market and/or can be adapted to clients' specific requests. Take a look at the profiling section below to get a good understanding on the audiences we can pre-target.

Bug Maniac is a type of Trainer Class that is encountered throughout the games of Pokémon. They were introduced in Generation III and usually take the appearance of a young adult that is surrounded by bug cages at either side of them.
They are usually encountered in the middle of the game and tend to use higher, evolved forms of Bug Pokémon during their battles. They only appeared in the Hoenn region thus far.

It can be assumed that they are older and stronger Bug Catchers, as during battle, some will mention that they used to be a Bug Catcher in their younger years.

Art Basel Preview: New Convention Center Layout, Giant Beach Structure for Audi
Art Basel Miami Beach, the international art fair that attracts more than 40,000 people annually, will kick off on December 2 with a V.I.P. Vernissage preview at the Miami Beach Convention Center, the headquarters of the four-day art fair. Within Art Basel will be 10 programs named for the type of art being showcased or the informational programming they provide ("Art Video," "Art Nova").
For the 2009 show, organizers have redesigned the layout of the convention center's main exhibit floor and created a new 40,000-square-foot temporary exhibition structure on the sand at Collins Park.
At the center of the exhibit hall's new layout is an 11,500-square-foot cube designed by Dutch architecture firm Tom Postma Design that will house two new temporary restaurants and three of the show's art programs—the book launches and design talks, a section for art periodicals, and museum and gallery showcases. Art Positions, a presentation of 23 galleries that in previous years displayed their works in shipping containers set up in Collins Park, will this year be arranged around the cube. The new layout is expected to improve visitor navigation throughout the halls and allow for more food service and lounge areas to be set up, according to the official press release.
Additionally, in another section of the convention center, the Art Collectors' Lounge—home to Art Basel's sponsor lounges—will be expanded to include a new temporary restaurant and seated dining area for V.I.P. art collectors and sponsors. Returning sponsors NetJets, AXA Art, and UBS, as well as Cartier will have private lounges in this area.
Taking over the space in Collins Park formerly occupied by Art Positions will be the new Oceanfront exhibition area. New York-based public art organization Creative Time commissioned Los Angeles artist Pae White to design the space, which will house exhibitions and performances as well as a café with drinks and light bites.
Oceanfront will be free to the public and host four of Art Basel's performance programs. The annual Art Love Music concert on the beach will kick off the venue's nighttime programming on December 3, after which point the space will host music, film, and spoken-word events nightly.
Piggybacking on Art Basel and the many collectors in town will be numerous satellite art fairs around the city. One of the largest initiatives is Audi's Art of Progress pavilion on the sand next to the Eden Roc Renaissance Miami Beach. The 45,000-square-foot structure will showcase art from the Rubell Family Collection, an installation from designer Tom Dixon, and the brand's new Audi A8. The temporary structure was built by EventStar and will debut on November 30 for a private unveiling party for Audi dealers, owners, representatives, and media. It will open to the public on December 2.
The design district highlight is art fair Design Miami, which will once again be housed in a 35,000-square-foot temporary structure designed by New York-based architects ArandaLasch and EventStar. Nearby, real estate company Dacra Development has created a new Limited Editions Experiences exhibition of pop-up retail stores from designers such as Gucci, Fendi, and Cynthia Rowley throughout the Moore Building and the company's other retail spaces in the neighborhood.
Just four blocks south, Photo Miami, Art Miami, and the Red Dot Art Fair will return to midtown Miami.
Other event highlights to look out for include Miami magazine's eco-friendly cocktail party at the Epic Hotel, a Jeff Koons watch launch and Pucci trunk show at the Webster on December 1, and Miami Art Museum's Ball at the Fontainebleau on December 5. New York nightspot the Box is importing nightly performances December 3 to 5 at Nikki Beach, with acts such as fire dancers, contortionists, and aerialists. Additionally, SushiSambaDromo's Graffiti Gone Global event—formerly called Ginzatropicalia—will be housed in a the same 4,000-square-foot building in midtown as it was last year. The 2009 exhibition will feature a favela-inspired installation inside the building and live battles between graffiti artists during its exhibition days December 4 through 6.
Big name brands like Cartier and Vanity Fair will also host events throughout the week. The former will put on a private dinner at Mr. Chow restaurant on December 3 and the latter has once again partnerd with the Museum of Contemporary Art for its annual Art Basel Welcome Party on December 1.

Photo did me wrong
As a favor to your photographer Jen Fariello, I reluctantly agreed to have my photo and answer to your Question of the Week published. [February 5: "What do you know about Brown's Mountain?"] Eternal pessimist that I am, I was only mildly surprised to find my name and answer under someone else's picture!
A bit perturbed, I called and spoke to someone at The Hook. She informed me that (1) Ms. Fariello tried to call and apologize (she never did) and (2) they would resolve the matter satisfactorily.
She said the "powers that be" had discussed the situation and wanted all three of us to answer another question, with a new picture, for the next publication. My answer was, of course, "not in this lifetime"!
The second suggestion was the famous "Correction Box," which no one ever reads. I said, "no thank you." After being asked what would be a fair solution, I told her to do the most simple and obvious: reprint the photos with the correct names and comments in the next edition. I got the impression that this would be done, but not a definitive yes.
Imagine my lack of surprise when all that showed up in this week's Hook was a Correction Box mention– buried among listings of numerous other mistakes– with only the following sentence: "...reversed captions under the pictures of two women who answered our Question of the Week."
Since I have lived in this area for many years, you can imagine the numbers of phone calls I got from people asking me how in the world could I "know nothing about Brown's Mountain" as was stated in the quotation under my photo. Knowing my face, they didn't bother to read the name. Reprinting the correct photos, names, and comments the next week could have very easily explained the situation.
The preceding scenario aside, I thoroughly enjoy The Hook and appreciate the niche it fills in the local weekly indie scene. Believe me, I also know that in the larger scheme of things there could not be a matter any less important to deal with than a simple photo switch. But, that said, customer input should be valued a bit more highly.
Suzanne Word
Suzanne Word: "Drunken Kite Day and beautiful views. I'm glad Monticello is keeping it in the family so it won't be developed, and it will stay environmentally pure."
Anne McMurtry: "Is that a trick question? I know nothing about Brown's Mountain. Should I?"
Paul Vickers: "Brown's Mountain? Never heard of it. That's going to ruin my reputation as 'outdoorsy guy.' Any relation to the Brown automotive group?"

The most compelling aspect of this final season of "The Office" has been the latest breakout character, one that's been a constant, but near-invisible presence from the start: the documentary crew (Did you think we meant Creed?).
The appearance of Brian, the soundman with a crush on Pam, and the Dunder Mifflin crew's realization that their last eight years of antics soon will air on PBS, have added an intriguing new layer as the paper company comedy turns its final page. But the breaking of what we'll call the third-and-a-half wall also underscores the legacy of "The Office" – both UK and US versions – as the mockumentary that changed TV comedy.
U.S. & World
It's fitting that as "The Office" prepares to close, Christopher Guest, the king of big-screen mockumentaries, brings his latest take on the form to HBO Sunday with the debut of "Family Tree," a series starring Chris O'Dowd as a man whose search for his lineage takes him from the UK to the US.
The roots of "Family Tree" and "The Office" can be traced to a TV movie with origins on both sides of the Atlantic: Eric Idle's brilliant "All You Need is Cash." The 1978 Beatles spoof brought together some of the 1970's greatest comedic talents – Monty Python's Idle and members of the original "Saturday Night Live" cast – to lovingly lampoon the greatest group of the 1960s (and of all time, for that matter).
Idle's pioneering parody paved the way for Rob Reiner, Guest and friends to turn up the volume to 11 just six years later with "This is Spinal Tap" – leading to "Waiting for Guffman," "Best in Show," and, our enduring favorite, "A Mighty Wind." Guest's work helped inspire Ricky Gervais, who has cited him as a major influence, and Stephen Merchant to create "The Office " in 2001.
Nobody has quite matched Guest's mockumentary efforts on big screen (though credit is due to Albert Brooks for 1979's "Real Life"). But Gervais and Merchant helped make satirical documentary-style comedies fit on the small screen. Without the incarnations of "The Office," we wouldn't have the two other best current big network sitcoms: "Modern Family" and "Parks and Recreation." We'd also likely be subject to more comedies with annoying laugh tracks.
The mockumentary shows owe a debt, in an odd way, to the rise of Reality TV – particularly "The Real World," which got audiences accustomed to characters analyzing the action after it's happened. That presaged, in a sense, our social media-driven world in which everything – including musings about the TV shows we're watching at any given moment – is subject to instant, publically expressed opinion.
Characters commenting on shows in progress also has ties to the early days of television – most notably in George Burns serving as an on-screen comic narrator who stepped in and out of the action on "Burns and Allen." Garry Shandling borrowed the gimmick and added a patina of irony for his underappreciated gem, "It's Garry Shandling's Show," television's first modern meta comedy.
Shandling's run on Showtime ended 23 years ago this month. "The Office," completes its ninth and final season May 16 – just four days after the debut of "Family Tree," which features Guest regulars Michael McKean, Fred Willard, Ed Begley Jr. and Bob Balaban.
As the mockumentary genre comes full circle, check out a clip of "Family Tree":

Copy Google Documents to Your Account
Someone sent me the link to a document published using Google Docs, but I didn't have the permission to edit the document. I wanted to save the document to my Google Docs account, but none of the options offered by Google allowed me to do that.
One of the ways you could create a duplicate for the document is to replace
where AAAAA is the document ID.
To automate the process, I created a small user script that adds an option to duplicate the document. The script works in:
* Firefox, if you install Greasemonkey
* Chrome, if you install the latest pre-beta version
* Opera (no add-on required)
* Safari, if you install GreaseKit
* Internet Explorer, but you need to install a plug-in like IE7Pro
Here's a sample document to try it. After installing the script, open the document, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Copy to my account".
Another idea is to upload the document to Google Docs, but you need to edit the URL to remove the footer and add the .html extension. Replace

Aract was composed in 1990 for piano duo. It is short and loud. The piece opens in C minor, flirts with Eb major in the middle and ends in C minor again. It's rhythmic, doesn't develop its material very much and doesn't try too hard.

The Dog Days of…February? – Josh Rawitch
It was a quiet day at Dodgertown today, but plenty of work still got done on the field and in the front office. One fan brought a dog the size of a baseball glove with her to Dodgertown and Brett Tomko proceeded to play with the puppy for a few minutes in between workouts. If it sounds like I'm setting up T.J. Simers for an easy line, don't worry… I know he's more creative than that.
There were several more arrivals at camp today, including new third baseman Bill Mueller, center fielder Kenny Lofton and outfield prospect Andre Ethier, among others. The rest of the guys will report tomorrow and take their physicals before the first full-squad workout on Tuesday.
For those of you who have been asking about pitching prospect Chad Billingsley, take a look at the feature on him by Tony Jackson in today's Daily News.
And for those of you who are Jim Hill fans from KCAL/KCBS (and who isn't?), be sure to watch today at 3 p.m. PT/6 p.m. ET for his live interview from Holman Stadium with Tommy Lasorda. Last night, Jim and his crew were at the stadium until 3 a.m., reporting live back to Los Angeles and they'll be here again all night tonight. As most of you know, we've started a new relationship with KCAL this season for 50 of our home games, in addition to 100 games on FSN West 2. Both stations are always looking for interesting features to run on our players, so be sure to keep tuning it to get the latest news about the team.

hi josh,
I love this new dodgers blog and i hope you guys can keep it going all through spring for all us baseball starved fans who can't be in Vero with you. It helps the work days go by smoother. In Ken Gurnicks article he mentions Penny is working on a sharp breaking ball. Is this a new pitch?

Good afternoon everyone. Interesting lineup for sure. Good luck Rubby and Dee!!! It seems ashame to bench Carroll and Miles, as they have been doing a great job at the top of the order. Oh well, I guess we need to get a good look at some of the young prospects to see what we've got going forward.
Some interesting reading.
I'm hoping the kids do us proud! And, I'm proud of Jerry for being so patient at the plate for a rookie.
Yep, I think we're all pulling for the kids. Gonna be some growing pains, but will be more tolerable than watching the washed up feeble crap Ned has been culling from the dung heaps of baseball. Still can't believe we let XPaul get away for nothing so we could give Gibbons and Thames a look. Ned is a freaking idiot!!!
Enchanted said last night that he'd like to set Ned's balls on fire! lol I think we need a graphic for that 😕
LOL!!! For sure!! One problem however, Ned has no balls. As well as no baseball saavy. I imagine his fat ass is already burning somewhat knowing when Frank goes, his days are numbered as well. Just 8 days till the next payroll. Seems like an eternity with Frank and Ned still here.
(_|_) – o o = No balls 😕
LOL!!! (_|_) – oo – ? = Ned
Good! I like it! dodger4life is having trouble loggin in with this new format. Any hints?
Not really. I guess you've got to be logged in on the Word Press site.
That's what I told him…he is working on it.
YAY….I found you, Jhall! 🙂
Hi'Ya Trumom!! Good to see you!!!
How come there is only 1 post here before?
It was back in Feb 06 and the blog was new and just getting started.
I guess there wasn't many people back than figuring this site out. All the thread why you have to sent us to this one and it bring back bad memory of Bombko.
I read this on TBLA last night with one of there manager blog posted it.
Ted Williams had 795 RBI through 934 games.
Ryan Howard has 795 RBI & this is his 934th game.
by Eric Stephen on Jun 6, 2011 5:16 PM PDT
Pretty impressive!!!
That's a surprise. There would be no comparison in striking out though. Teddy Ballgame was a machine.
lol you got that right.
.. <—– Now THAT'S Ned.
LMAO!!!!!!! :~ Yep Beav!! He's a limp dick, no ball, lame brained, suck ass, loser!!!!
I hope that Ned doesn't think he will make us happy by drafting one Santana to make up for trading away the other Santana.
Look what I just found and this was the game Carroll was playing for the Indians and Kemp thrown out Blake. I think back than Lee wasn't so dominated in the k's but I think he had his best season that year. I'm sorry I have to bring this up with Pierre and Sweeney on it.
There's that Sweeney batting avg of .109, kinda reminiscent of the Thames batting avg of .158
As least Thames does have 2 PH's homeruns Sweeney none.
I don't know how I got to this but this is crazy.
I don't have high expectations of Dee Gordon. I only expect him to:
a) bunt himself aboard
b) steal second before Casey swings the bat
c) score from second on Casey's fly-out
lol thank for the jinx Colling for that 1 win in 7 starts for Oswalt.
BOOOOOOOOOO, Casey!
( | )~~
🙂 🙂
I'm so sick of Blake. I want to thank Ned for trading away all of our third base prospects so that we could keep Blake, and next year, Uribe.
By the way, is it just me, or, do Blake & Uribe suck?!
Well Andy LaRouche is still out there.
It's definitely them.
Gosh damn it.
That's okay, Rubby, settle down…you can do it!
Whew! Now he can return to normal respiratory functions. . .
Whew!! WTG kid!!
Oh crap. I'm supposed to be working…
I won't tell.
Watching the Dodgers is work!
I think we should wait until Blake is in Uribe rang in batting average lol.
OMG….a run!
Thanks for the gift run Utley.
This poor kids getting squeezed on the strike zone.
He sure is!
Rats!! Throw strikes kid!!!
I'm shocked that Matt could score without hitting a home run.
Gosh the bullpen going to be busy tonight. I wonder if he was on a PC if wasn't getting squeezed.
One more out!
Damn I wanted the dp.
See what I'm talking about.
Poor kid…the ump isn't giving him anything close!
Looking at the pitch location on the gameday. This kid's getting robbed.
Well, only one run. That could have been a disaster!!
I hope this is just a case of the jitters for Rubby. We are all asking a lot of him today.
I need to see the gameday strike zone. Those pitches can't all be ball.
They aren't! some are borderline and could have been called srikes.
Wow Oswalt you should be a shame of yourself.
Hah…way to go Oswalt! Walk our pitcher!
Wow I love Gordon to bad he didn't advance to 2nd on that throw.
Hey! The kids are allright!!
lol wow Oswalt
Daaaamn! Oswalt's having a bad day. Good for us!
Damn these remind me of the Giants defense.
lol wow Oswalt have one of those 66 mph pitches.
Oswalt has to be steaming right now.
Good! I hope we can keep it going on him.
Come on Rubby Tuesday….get them out!
I've often wondered while following along on gameday and seeing some of the perfect pitches that are called balls (for quite awhile now) if Selig has perhaps suggested to the umpires to maybe tightened things up on our pitchers to make things a little harder.
How's that for a conspiracy theory?
This ump is really squeezing Rubby! He won't give him anything borderline. It sucks!
Yep like that home plate ump John Carlson giving Lee most of the call.
Don't get me started on conspiracies! Being a life long Raider fan, I'm used to them!!
Sweet!! WTG Andre!!
That how you block the plate Posey.
LOL!!!!!! Pose\|/
Squeezed or not Rubby is fighting it out there.
The kid's showing some moxie.
I love that Gordon speed.
Raffy who?
I can't wait til we never have to see Rafrail Fuckal again!!
I see a big green pasture in his future. . .
Holy shit a SB's to boot.
This umpire really SUCKS!!!!!!
Rats!! Ethier blew that scoring opp!!!
Alright Rubby!!
Five tough innings for Rubby! I am sure not what he wanted but at least he stll has a lead.
Oh god those runner on 3rd bases with 1 out and we can't score our back?
Well shit!! Another 1 out runner at 3rd opportunity missed. Unacceptable!!!
Have you ever seen a team as consistantly pathetic as this with a runner at third and less than two outs?
Hmm, let me think – NO!
No!! F*cking bullshit!!!
lol time to check those risp numbers again.
Really sad. 😦
Damn…Navaro…you suck too!
You guys will have to keep the guys in line for me. I have to attend my grandson's birthday party. See you when I get home.
Have fun Tru!
Don't do anything I wouldn't do. 🙂
See ya Trumom. Have fun!!
Wow on a Tuesday?
Up to the bullpen now.
On come on let's Hawksworth hit and he can pitch 2 innings.
C'mon bullpen!!
How can this be possible? Ethier is just to good to hit .243 in his career with risp with 2 outs.
Men on, 2 outs and .238.
Wasn't Romero busted for 'Juicing' a while back?
Yep I remember he was suspended for 50 games.
Kemp split is strange.
Thank a lot for jinxing Utley.
The shift finally work.
Wah-Hoo Matt!!!
Woo hoo!
Yeah Kemp just tied Bruce in homeruns and leading in RBi's.
Gosh damn Barea missing a layup and Terry miss 2 FT's.
Wow Donny letting him facing RHB to. He should've done this more often.
Great job Elbert!!
Who is this Scott Elbert, and what has he done with the old one?
Exorcism? LOL
Daemon by GONE!!!
Think it would work on Frank & Furter?
Should be "be" not "by."
Shouldn't try and type without my glasses on.
Shut them down Guerra.
From the WTF Dept, I see the Rays signed Lance Cormier.
WTF is Maddon thinking? LOL
Unbelievable!! Well, he is free!!! There are some desperate teams out there. It'll be interesting to see where Gibbons lands.
They did have Cormier in there bullpen the past few year maybe we can get our Wade that dumb Ned didn't resign.
Should be get our Wade back.
They can have McDooDoo too!
I take that you don't like MacDougal at all since he does have a good ERA and was realiable before May 16. I could understand Guerrier but MacDougal a guy who's just making 500k.
Good job by the rookies & bullpen!
Hope they take the rubber game tomorrow!
Go Mavs!
Woo-Hoo, nice win!! Congrats Rubby and Dee!!!
Yes! And, from what Emma said yesterday, Rubby will be sent down tomorrow. Don't you think we should keep him?
Gretzky's son selected by Cubs in baseball draft
I didn't even know Boras had a son in the draft wonder if he's going to be his agent lol.
Trade Garland and/or Lilly and keep Rubby in the starting rotation!
About damn time Mavs.
B Hand (L, 0-1) 6.0 1 1 1 1 6 1 100-61 1.50
E Mujica 1.0 0 0 0 0 1 0 14-10 3.45
R Webb 2.0 1 0 0 1 2 0 26-17 3.81
Totals 9.0 2 1 1 2 9 1 140-88
It suck to take a lost after given up that 1 homerun and you was just making your major league debut.
Stadium Sun Life Stadium, Miami, FL
Attendance 13,302 (34.5% full) – % is based on regular season capacity
Ouch I know the Heat are playing in the final but still this is bad.
My wish list is that Furcal recover before the end of the trade deadline and come back long enough to show that he might help somebody in contention. Then I'd like to see him and Blake both traded before the end of July for a couple of decent prospects. I think the Dodgers can handle the infield quite adequately without the two, what with Carroll and Uribe and Gordon available. I don't think that we'll place higher than third in the division no matter who we have in the infield, and we could use some more prospects.
Of course, my biggest wish as always if for the chief asshole to SELL THE TEAM.
Then we can start with a clean slate in the front office and the coaching ranks.
Bear – there's a new thread!
I'd add to your wish list to trade away Garland or Lilly.
And echo you comment – SELL THE TEAM!!!!!!! (7 days to next payroll date)

I'm in my first Java class and I'm having a hard time figuring out why this code isn't working for my assignment. The code here is asking the user to input the name of a bike. inStock will check and see if the bike is in stock. If it isn't, the user is asked for the rest of the bike's info and a new Bike instance is created. Then addNew is called to add the bike I just created into my bike shop.
System.out.print("Please enter the name of the bike to be added:\n"); name = input.next(); if (VinnyBikeShop.inStock(name, 0)) { System.out.print("The bike is NOT in stock. It will need to be added.\n"); System.out.println("What is the size of the bike?"); size = input.nextInt(); System.out.println("What is the color of the bike?"); color = input.next(); System.out.println("How many bikes do you want to add?"); quantity = input.nextInt(); System.out.println("What is the price of the bike?"); price = input.nextDouble(); aBike = new Bike(name, size, color, price, quantity); VinnyBikeShop.addNew(aBike); }
As far as I can tell, it's not adding that bike into the bike shop. There's a listDetails method that lists the name, size, etc. of a bike. I try calling that after adding the bike and it comes back null.
The code for the Bike constructor is:
public Bike(String theName, int itsSize, String itsColor, double cost, int qty) {
I'd really appreciate any insight.

Woad Warrior, redux
This was originally published in the Mountain Xpress way back in 2000. I was looking at my woad yesterday and thinking about the best time to harvest the leaves for dye and thought of this piece. So I'm sharing it with you, as we in the Northern hemi prepare for Beltane. Some things have changed in my world since then--but the challenge remains the same. Hope you enjoy it!
Serving as a high priestess is a hard job. "The toughest job you'll ever love" may apply to military service, but it could just as easily be found in a Pagan-clergy handbook -- if there were such a thing.
Among my jobs as a high priestess are leading a weekly ritual with the home circle, a monthly open ritual on the full moon, and a monthly women's circle. I organize, write and conduct rites of passage (like weddings, First Bloods and funerals). I speak out on Pagan issues, counsel my parishioners, meet with local Episcopal clergy when one of our teens joins their church, in order to meet new boys. I teach classes, write protest letters, talk to King James Version-wielding fanatics who only want to save my soul. I interface with the dominant culture; I interface with the Pagan culture.
Don't get me wrong: I love my job. I chose it freely and would happily do it again. Celebrating the Turning of the Wheel with my circle family brings me incomparable joy. Helping a couple design their own unique handfasting ceremony is captivating and fun, and sharing a cup of sage tea with a menopausal friend is true companionship.
Parts of the job are easy, parts are difficult -- and one thing is, I confess, impossible. And that thing looms darkly on my horizon each year. As the glorious sun rises in the Midsummer sky, one thing becomes all-consuming, all-annoying, terrifying. Yet, it is a little thing, really.
Isatis tinctoria: woad. It is the dream of every Pagan I know to be decorated at Midsummer, like an extra in Braveheart: limed hair, bright blue swirls on face and body. And there's only one product that will do: the real thing, woad.
Isatis tinctoria is a common roadside weed in Europe and the U.S. -- hardy and invasive. It's a member of the Brassicaceae family, like mustard. It has rangy, light-green stems and tiny, brilliantly yellow flowers. The Picts (among others) used it to create blue dye for textiles, paint and to go on faces, because it was so readily available. They evidently piled heaps of it in a stone building, peed on it (to change the pH), and let it ferment. It turned blue (somehow), and the dyeing of tunic and torso commenced.
We got some Isatis tinctoria last year. Fairman Jayne at Sandy Mush Herb Nursery informed me that it is a self-seeding annual that likes full sun, but said he had never known it to reseed. He said it is pretty, though. I planted it in the back garden, in full sun, and it grew into a tall plant with yellow flowers, looking a lot like mustard (which I had also planted).
Come spring, there were mustardish, woad-like plants in the back garden. But were they woad or were they mustard? And if they were woad, what to do with them? There was not a lot of it, and I wasn't at all sure how to process it. Someone, somewhere, would know how to do it. I heard rumors that some Society for Creative Anachronism folks had access to processed woad -- that it comes in chunks, like carpenter's chalk-line chalk, only greasy. It might be mildly hallucinogenic; it might not. It might dye skin semi-permanently; it might not. Not for the first time in my career, I wished I could talk to a real, live, ancient Brit, circa 100 CE.
Why was it so easy for those tribal warriors? What technology did they have that I don't? I have a food processor and a microwave -- why can't I do this for my people?
Each year, after the Maypole is danced and the May-wine is drunk, we begin to talk about Midsummer and what we'll do. That's code for, "How will we decorate our bodies for the holy day? Will we have ... woad?"
Aarrgghh. I hadn't really given it much thought since Lughnasadh. Last year, we did henna, which didn't quite work -- and, besides, wasn't blue. We also did temporary tattoos, which the children loved, but the adults disdained a bit. It just wasn't sufficiently ... tribal, somehow.
I'd gone through the books back in the herb shelves at the Co-op. There were some interesting chapters on woad used as a textile dye, but most seemed to agree that indigo is a better choice. As a member of the cyber-Pagan community, I have also searched the Web. I'd been to The Woad Page, where there are detailed instructions (including litmus paper -- remember litmus paper?) for processing woad. I'd seen pictures of men in kilts with swirly blue designs on their rugged faces. I'd visited the Henna Page bulletin board, where folks chatted about Chinese vs. Celtic designs. One nice person even offered some "manly" designs that could be e-mailed as GIFs.
Recently, a colleague gave me a tip about a place in Hot Springs called Herb of Grace. Pretty name, huh? My friend had heard a rumor that these folks had some ... woad. Woad? Really? With Beltaine just around the corner and a crock of May wine readying in the cellar, was it possible that I'd found the pot of woad at the end of the rainbow? Would Herb of Grace save me the shame and humiliation of permanent Magic Markers?
Alas, it was not to be. The kind-hearted woman informed me that they did, indeed, have woad: seedlings, seeds, plants and products dyed with the rich blue mixture. But, processed woad? Sadly, her answer was "no". Maybe I could try "growing my own"?
There are still a few weeks left until the golden madness of Midsummer. I know the answer is out there. Somewhere. Will we be forced to lower our expectations once again? Or will I lead my people, like Queen Boadicca of the Iceni, to heights of blue and tribal joy?
I think I need a cup of chamomile tea.

Andrew Sullivan discovers that Bill Kristol once favored the "anti-Israel" appeaser as George W. Bush's vice president. Gak!
Sully also compares and contrasts Hagel and Kristol on Iraq. By the way, I just love the way Kristol just…opines conclusively, as if he knows something, that Saddam has lost his support among Iraqi Sunnis. Oh, the blather, the blather!
One question for Andrew, though: When you go behind the paywall, will I still be able to link to you?

Glendale Community CollegeHome Menu
In this current budgetary climate, the California Community College System is receiving less money from Sacramento and as a result we are having to cut classes. The Visual and Performing Arts Division is especially vulnerable because we are considered non-essential for students who are not majoring in this discipline, even though it has been proven that students who participate in the Arts become more well-rounded, and do better in their other classes. We are having to depend more and more on donations from generous patrons such as yourself.
Your donation can be marked specifically for a single department, or just for the Visual & Performing Arts Division as need arises.
You can donate now online using your credit card.
Be sure to specify that you want your donation to go to the "Visual & Performing Arts Division", or a specific department in the box provided under "Gift Information." All donations donations are tax-deductable, and will be acknowledged and greatly appreciated. If you would like to speak to someone in the Foundation Office, you may call (818) 551-5201.
