Writing an 'objective' story about homelessness
The run-up to Thanksgiving week is a traditional time for newspaper reports about homelessness, and The New York Times yesterday did not fail.
The headline gave two sides: "As Homeless Line Up for Food, Los Angeles Weighs Restrictions." The story was balanced: Some want to feed homeless individuals at a corner in Hollywood, but homeowners in the area are tired of folks defecating on their lawns. I counted quotations: Up until the penultimate paragraphs, 12 sentences favored the free feeding that draws crowds to the neighborhood, while 12 sentences opposed it.
The author, veteran reporter Adam Nagourney, tipped his hand (as reporters often do) by choosing a particular source to offer a pungent summary:
"Aaron Lewis, who said he makes his home on the sidewalk by a 7-Eleven on Sunset Boulevard, chalked up opposition to what he described as rising callousness to people in need.
"'That's how it is everywhere,' Mr. Lewis said. 'People here—it's their only way to eat. The community doesn't help us eat.'"
Still, by traditional standards, the story was "objective," with both sides well-represented.
But were there only two sides? I don't know enough about the homeless problem in Los Angeles to say, but I have reported on homelessness in Washington, New York, Chicago, Denver, and elsewhere, and have often found three sides: Yes, advocates want to offer free food on the streets. Yes, nearby homeowners want homeless individuals banished from the neighborhood. But thoughtful Christians with respect for both sides offer an alternative both to street feeding and excommunication: They want to feed individuals inside missions and other homeless shelters where they can be urged to take their meds, pray to God, remember how to work, and change their lives.
I don't know whether the capacity of Christian-run homeless shelters in Los Angeles is adequate, given the number of individuals drawn to the city's winter warmth: WORLD will try to find out, but I won't be surprised if the answer is no, and Nagourney would have a good case in saying he didn't see a reason even to mention the missions.
But even if that's so, this traditionally objective story does a disservice in balancing out only two sides. Even if Democrats and Republicans between them garner 90 percent of the votes in an election, a thorough reporter will at least mention the existence of third parties. And if two big programs fail but a third, smaller one has a track record of success, shouldn't reporters let readers know?

Noise, Fluctuation, and Response in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Seminar Room 1, Newton Institute
AbstractResponse theory provides formidable methods for addressing many problems in statistical mechanics. Recently, it has been proposed as a gateway for various challenges in geophysical fluid dynamics, such as the provision of a rigorous conceptual framework for computing climate response to a variety of forcings and for deriving effective equations for coarse-grained variables, thus paving the way for constructing accurate parametrization of unresolved processes in numerical models. In this contribution, we first would like to present some new results showing how one can use response theory to compute the impact of adding stochastic forcing to deterministic chaotic systems. Then, we will discuss the applicability of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem in the context of non-equilibrium systems, focusing on the role played by the choice of observable. Finally, we will present some applications of response theory in geophysical fluid dynamical systems, ranging from low-order models such as the Lorenz 63 and Lorenz 96 models to General Circulation Models of the atmosphere.

By Spencer Kowitz • Robert Morris Sports Information Graduate Assistant • Friday, January 20, 2012
Read more: http://www.rmucolonials.com
Moon Township, Pa. - After winning College Hockey America (CHA) Goaltender of the Week honors in four consecutive weeks in which she competed, junior Kristen DiCiocco (Niagara Falls, Ontario / Stoney Creek Jr. Sabres) of the Robert Morris University women's hockey team recently claimed a prestigious honor from another organization as she was selected as the Athlete of the Year by the Pittsburgh Chapter of the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame.
DiCiocco, who recently broke RMU's single-season record for goaltender victories, will be presented with the Athlete of the Year award, which is open to both male and female competitors, Sunday, March 11, at the Westin Convention Center Hotel as part of the 26th Annual Awards and Scholarships Banquet.
When she snatched her most recent CHA Goalie of the Week honor, DiCiocco became the first Colonial ever to win awards in four straight weeks in which RMU competed.
DiCiocco won the first of the quartet of accolades Nov. 28 after leading RMU to a victory at Colgate and then earning the Laurie Belliveau Outstanding Goaltender award at UConn's Nutmeg Classic. She posted 30 saves against the Raiders while facing their power play 10 times before notching a shutout of Yale to break the record for longest winning streak in program history.
When Robert Morris began league play in early December, DiCiocco played a prominent role in leading the Colonials to an unbeaten weekend against Syracuse. She stopped 26 shots in a 2-1 victory Dec. 9, including saving four Orange shots in the final 75 seconds when Syracuse skated with an extra attacker. The junior saved her best for the series finale when she made seven saves in a furious sequence during the final 30 seconds of overtime to help ensure that the Colonials earn a point. DiCiocco finished with a then team season-high 35 saves, her seventh effort of at least 30 saves at Robert Morris. She helped RMU hold Syracuse scoreless on seven power-play opportunities in the Dec. 10 matchup, including a 47-second 5-on-3 advantage in the final three minutes of regulation as well as a power play chance in the overtime session.
DiCiocco continued to rack up the save totals as 2011 flipped to 2012. After registering 36 saves against nationally-ranked Bemidji State Dec. 30 in the CONSOL Energy Center, she tallied a career-high 43 stops Jan. 6 at Providence to help Robert Morris tie the program record for wins in a season. She notched an amazing 20 saves during the third period against the Friars while holding Providence scoreless over 3:18 of consecutive power-play time in the middle of the frame, including a 42-second 5-on-3 advantage.
As Robert Morris is set to head into the bulk of its conference schedule, DiCiocco currently has a 1.81 GAA and a .933 save percentage. If she can maintain those averages, both of those figures would eclipse the current top marks in the Robert Morris single-season record book.
The Pittsburgh Chapter of the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame was founded in 1986. Since then, the chapter has inducted nearly 100 Italian-Americans athletes from the greater Pittsburgh region. Each year, the Pittsburgh chapter also gives out achievement awards to outstanding individuals in the community and issues scholarships to exceptional Italian-American students in financial need.
The National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame is a not-for-profit educational institution dedicated to preserving and promoting the history and heritage of Italian Americans in sports by honoring Italian-American heroes who have made lasting contributions to sports and society. Since its founding in 1977, more than two hundred glorious champions of sport have been enshrined in the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame.
Robert Morris will begin the majority of its league schedule this weekend as it plays a home-and-home series with No. 4/5 Mercyhurst, the defending conference champion. The Colonials and Lakers will meet Friday, Jan. 20, and Saturday, Jan. 21, at 7:05 p.m.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Lacroix Floyd, 36, of Washington, D.C., pled guilty today to a federal drug charge following the seizure of crack cocaine and other drugs during a U.S. Park Police investigation in September 2012, according to U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr.
Floyd pled guilty to a charge of possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine. He faces a likely range of about 21 to 27 years in prison.incarceration, and the offense requires a mandatory term of 10 years of incarceration. He has also agreed to forfeit $4,109. he is scheduled to be sentenced in March 2013.
According to court documents, on Sept. 18, 2012, the U.S. Park Police stopped Floyd's car near the 2600 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE. They ultimately discovered 13.4 grams of crack cocaine from a plastic bag that was secreted near the defendant's buttocks and $109 in cash.
A day later, Park Police officers searched an apartment where the defendant had been residing since his release from jail a few weeks earlier. At that apartment, in the 2300 block of Green Street SE, officers discovered digital scales, 457.1 grams of crack cocaine, 139.3 grams of powder cocaine, and $4,000 in cash.

(AKRON)--An Akron man's book takes his readers into the past to nurture their thoughts and ideas about politics today.
Author Craig Parkinson began writing after budget cuts reduced his position as a history teacher in Sibley.
Listen here
For about half of Parkinson's 36 years in the classroom, he helped young people learn about our nation's history. He's gathered that knowledge and lots of research to publish his first book.
Listen here
The former Akron-Westfield teacher and coach describes the book as written for everybody and not just political junkies.
Listen here
Parkinson crafted his writing so the 50-thousand words didn't become a paperweight.
Listen here
Drawing on his teaching days, Parkinson wanted to make the book interesting as well as factual and thought provoking. He wrote about the original name for the Constitution and the "Pig War" between Great Britain and the United States. If you don't remember that history lesson, you'll find details in Parkinson's book or by visiting with him at a book signing today (Wednesday) from 6-7:30 at the Le Mars Public Library. www.pendulumofpolitics.com
(LE MARS)--A project to improve a route to the Plymouth County Solid Waste Agency is part of a new five-year road program.
The estimated $800,000 paving project on 150th Street, between Highway 60 and Marble Avenue, in 2015 is not set in stone as work to be done.
Supervisors agreed to the landfill road paving project addition noting the location and an actual project are subject to change depending on funding and traffic counts.
Board members say funding to care for existing roads and bridges isn't keeping pace with needs.
Supervisors also heard of building maintenance and security improvements for the county-owned Residential Care Facility (RCF) on Highway Three. A fire and recent reviews by the Department of Inspections and Appeals are factors in the discussion.
Ten windows in an apartment area of the RCF for four clients need to be replaced. The possibility of electronic door locks to more closely track clients led to discussion about an emergency backup power supply with a greater capacity. Cost estimates are expected to be presented to Supervisors.
Eighteen groups would divided 100-thousand dollars in Local Option Sales Tax (LOST), if supervisors approve an advisory group's recommendations. Details are posted on the KLEM website Local News section.
The recommendations range from about 14-thousand dollars for a delivery van for Life Skills Training Center down to just over one-thousand dollars for the Le Mars Public Library for activity tables.
(LE MARS)--The former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court will be in Le Mars next week.
Roy Moore will be at a "Meet and Greet" open to the public at Habitue Coffeehouse and Creperie in Le Mars. Moore's stop in Le Mars is from noon until one on April 21st.
The judge is expected to launch a presidential exploratory committee in Iowa.
A Republican, Moore is widely known for his refusal to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from a courthouse.
He lectures throughout the United States and serves as the President of the Foundation for Moral Law in Montgomery, Alabama. He has written the book, "So Help Me God."
(ORANGE CITY)--A Boyden woman will serve time in the Sioux County jail for burglary and prescription drug convictions.
According to Sioux County Attorney Coleman McAllister, 34-year-old Jana VanDonge was charged after a rural Sioux Center burglary was reported in December.
A man told the Sheriff's Department that he heard a noise coming from his bathroom and found someone looking through his cabinets. Sheriff's deputies located medication from the residence at VanDong's home when they used a warrant to make a search.
McAllister reports a judge Monday ordered VanDonge to serve up to 10 years in prison for the burglary conviction and 30 days in jail for possession of prescription drugs.
The prison term was suspended, but the 30 days in jail were not.
(DES MOINES) Maps that lay out new boundaries for legislative and congressional districts have advanced another step at the statehouse, but the plan has some detractors.
Senator Randy Feenstra, a Republican, says he's worried because all four congressional districts intersect near Des Moines. Feenstra is from Hull in the far northwest corner of the state.
"For me being in rural Iowa, I have a real concern that someday we could see four congresspeople be from the Des Moines metro," Feenstra says. "And that's got to be a concern for everybody in this state." Feenstra's not sure he'll support the redistricting plan when it comes up for a vote in the full Senate. Governor Branstad must either sign or veto the plan if it wins legislative approval and he has expressed concerns that two sets of Iowa congressmen have been thrown together in two of the districts.
"I haven't had a chance to talk to the congressmen personally about this," Branstad says. "There's a lot of people that are affected by it and, obviously, most importantly we need to look at the state of Iowa and the people of Iowa and this is the best and fairest plan for representation in the legislature and the congress."
Senate President Jack Kibbie, a Democrat from Emmetsburg, says he's ready to support the plan even though his new district includes several new counties, ten percent more Republicans than his current district -- and Kibbie would have to run against a Republican senator in 2012 if the plan is adopted.
"I don't think there's anybody in the Senate, probably, that gets hurt worse than I do," Kibbie says. But Kibbie says Iowa's non-partisan process for redrawing district lines is the envy of other states. Senator Jeff Danielson, a Democrat from Cedar Falls, says the map follows the spirit of the law, providing compact and evenly-populated districts.
"I would encourage any senator who's going to vote against this to do their homework because they've got their work cut out for them, in order to justify that vote," Danielson says. The proposal has cleared initial committee approval in the House and is on a similar same path in the senate. A vote in the 100-member House and the 50-member Senate vote could happen Thursday.
(News report from Radio Iowa)
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The Senate Ways and Means Committee has approved a $50 million tax rollback for businesses that could eventually increase to $200 million.
The committee approved the business property tax credit Tuesday on a voice vote. The size of the tax credit would increase by $50 million every year that state revenues increase by at least 4 percent, up to $200 million.
Supporters of the measure say it helps small businesses by applying to the first $32,000 of property, taxing it at about 50 percent of the current rate. That amounts to a roughly $600 tax break.
Some called for bigger reductions. House Republicans have suggested capturing any budget surplus for a taxpayer relief fund that would likely be larger.
The House has also approved a 20 percent income tax cut.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The House has refused to consider a measure that would have eliminated background checks for those seeking gun permits.
Rep. Tom Shaw, a Republican from Laurens, sought to attach the proposal as an amendment to a less controversial measure dealing with the ability of those who have lost gun rights to regain them.
Top House leaders on Tuesday ruled the effort out of order, and an effort to force debate drew only six votes in favor, so the background check proposal was dropped.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The Senate has voted to reject two of Gov. Terry Branstad's appointments, including the only African-American chosen to head a state agency.
Branstad's nomination of Isaiah McGee to be the new director of the Department of Human Rights drew only 30 votes in the Senate Tuesday, short of the 34 needed for confirmation. Critics say McGee muzzled workers at the agency by banning them from communicating with lawmakers.
Backers say he reversed that decision, and as an African-American, has dealt with racism making him a natural fit for the agency. Branstad issued a state saying he was disappointed with the vote.
The appointment of attorney William Gustoff to the state Judicial Nominating Commission drew only 27 votes. Critics say the position should be held by a non-lawyer.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) A Colorado judge has ordered a Cedar Rapids woman back to Iowa to face animal abuse charges.
Jennifer Wood was arrested last month in Red Feather Lakes, Colo., on two fugitive warrants from Iowa.
She's charged in Linn County with 35 counts of animal abuse and two counts of unhealthy and unsanitary conditions. Authorities in February seized 32 dogs, two cats and a parrot from her home.
She faces charges of animal neglect and failing to dispose of animal carcasses in Iowa County, and allegations of poor conditions at her pet grooming business in Hiawatha.
KGAN-TV in Cedar Rapids says Wood appeared before a Colorado judge on Tuesday where she waived extradition. The judge ordered her back to Iowa and gave her a May 20 deadline to appear in court.
DAKOTA CITY, Iowa (AP) A judge is considering a request to move the trial of a Minnesota teenager accused of killing two convenience store clerks in northern Iowa.
Seventeen-year-old Michael Swanson, of St. Louis Park, Minn., is charged as an adult with murder and robbery in Kossuth and Humboldt counties. He's accused of killing a clerk in Algona on Nov. 15, then driving to Humboldt and killing another clerk.
The Des Moines Register says during a hearing on Tuesday in Humboldt County, defense attorney Charles Kenville asked that the first of two trials, set for June 20, be moved to eastern Iowa or Council Bluffs, citing extensive publicity. Prosecutors didn't oppose the request.
The judge says he'll rule later, and will weigh the need for a fair jury, cost concerns and transportation.

My application receives XML messages to update it's data objects. The XML message contains details on how the data is to be modified. The XML looks something like:
<stuff> .... </stuff>
<stuff> .... </stuff>
<obj attr1=... attr2=... />
<obj attr1=... attr2=... />
How should I update the fields of the objects?
Create a modify(String xml) method. Parse the message, extract
<stuff>data, then reconstruct the following
<obj attr1=... />as a String and pass into modify().
Create a modify(NamedNodeMap xml) method. Parse the message, extract
<stuff>data, keep the results of the parsing (Document object), find the relevant Node and pass into modify().
Create a modify(String attr1, String attr2, ...) method. Parse the XML, extract the fields, pass into modify(). Probably a very bad idea, because if I need more attributes, I need the change the method signature, and breaks everything that depend on the modify() method.
Create setters for every field. Parse the XML, then set the fields individually. Then we run into the whole getter and setter debate, and in the context of this application, the fields of my data objects should only be modified by these XML messages, not anywhere else.
Personally I'm torn between 1 and 2. I think 1 would be more flexible, in case we decided not to use DOM, I can change how the String is parsed inside the modify(String xml) method. But then I would have to parse the XML twice, once to obtain the
<stuff> data, then reconstructing the XML as String, and being parsed again inside the modify() method.
Should XML parsing even be done inside my data classes? Is there any reason to choose the other choices? Thanks.
[Edit] In general, how much should I "unpack" data before passing into a method?

At the tail end of a question-answer session following a lecture in Singapore, an East Asian member of the audience asked me if I could enlighten him on what Indias foreign policy was likely to be in a Narendra Modi government. Pressed for time, and not prepared for the question, I offered a telegraphic reply. Modi, I told him, would be the Shinzo Abe of India. Many heads nodded in the audience, as if my reply was crystal clear.
Modi is not an Abe in terms of his inheritance. Abes biography reads more like that of Rahul Gandhi. The grandson of a former prime minister, Abe is related to the Japanese emperor. He is the insider among Tokyos power elite. Modi is the outsider in the Delhi darbar. But, Modi would seek to define his foreign policy in more nationalist terms, as Abe has tried to, partly as a way of reviving the national mood in a dispirited country.
Modi represents a brand of Asian nationalism kindled by Chinas rise and the Wests part-confused, part-duplicitous response. Asian nations preparing themselves for the new power balances of the 21st century have to chart their own course, dealing with a rising China and a West preoccupied with its economic woes.
It is noteworthy that the three countries that Modi has visited as chief minister have been China, Japan and Singapore. The Asian focus of Modis foreign policy has been shaped both by the Wests, especially the United States, treatment of him and, more importantly, the longstanding admiration of Asian nationalism within the wider Sangh Parivar. It is not often remembered in contemporary discourse that during the 1970s and 80s, the intellectual leadership of the Jana Sangh greatly admired Japan. As Asias first industrial nation, which was also the first Asian power to defeat a European one in over 300 years, Japan was a great source of inspiration for Indian leaders including Swami Vivekananda, Rabindranath Tagore, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and Jawaharlal Nehru.
But it is not just history, technology and investible capital that makes Japan a country to draw inspiration from. Modi seems to recognise the value of Abes combination of investing in domestic economic capability and external strategic capacity for nation building. Modis domestic policy focus, drawing from Gujarats experience, has been on building Indias economic capability. His political rhetoric focuses on the need to revitalise a moribund economy, which is exactly how Abe came

Strike Anywhere: Dead FM
Strike Anywhere
Dead FM
Fat Wreck Chords
These indefatigable Virginia punks titled their third studio full-length Dead FM, but when frontman Thomas Barnett divulges that "our trust in this system's dead" in opener "Sedition," he's not talking about the crappy state of corporate radio. Strike Anywhere aim higher than that: "This country's in distress," Barnett explains in "Prisoner Echoes," "from the schools to the factories on the dead edge of town."
Yep, Barnett and his bandmates are good old-fashioned political punks, the kind you'd swear no longer exist if MySpace is where you turn for your eight o'clock rock block. Dead FM is about "preachers from the pulpits of power" and "powers determined to fake the news," as well as "static quotations" and "historical lies" (and how they "don't mean nothing.") It's also about breakneck one-two-three-four drumbeats, buzzsaw guitar fuzz, and as many whoa-oh-ohs as you'll hear in an afternoon at the Warped Tour. Indeed, now that Strike Anywhere have exchanged the relatively artsy confines of emo-identified Jade Tree for NOFX frontman Fat Mike's Fat Wreck Chords—where no Minor Threat rip goes unrewarded—they seem more committed to their proudly old-school sound than ever.
That doesn't mean that parts of Dead FM wouldn't have worked better on a bumper sticker than an album. (Or in a CD's liner notes: Barnett's account of his grandfather's work on the Manhattan Project is more compelling than the song it inspired.)

I have a server-side API which provides paged data in JSON format based on various query parameters. I would like to provide a UI that allows the user to paged through the results of a query.
I am aware of the various component parts that permit this sort of interface, IPagedCollectionView and ICollectionView at the model / view model lever and DataPager within the UI. However, all the examples I have seen implement paging on top of data which has already been loaded into the model or view model.
I was hoping to find an IPagedCollectionView implementation somewhere, where you simple plug in your 'fetcher' method that fetches a given page of data from the server, plus provides a bit of metadata (total pages etc ...)
I could write this myself based on the IPagedCollectionView and ICollectionView interfaces, but I would be surprised if there is not a standard solution to this problem.
Any pointers to more suitable parts of the framework or libraries that extend the framework would be appreciated!

Calenardhon was the first name of the lands of Rohan, when it was still a part of the kingdom of Gondor. The name, in Sindarin, means 'the Green Region,' or, 'the Green Province,' and was an area of great, grassy, sparsely-populated plains west of Anórien and to the north of the White Mountains.
This area of Gondor was an area of constant incursion, and, during the reign of the Steward Cirion, it came under attack from the Balchoth. In order to drive back the invaders, Gondor called upon the Éothéod for aid; the horsemen, under Eorl the Young, were successful in vanquishing the enemy at the Field of Celebrant.
After the battle, what would become the people of the Rohirrim were ceded these lands by Cirion in return for their assistance in guarding the northern marches, as well as the Gap of Rohan, against invaders.

Recent studies estimate that approximately 18,000 to 50,000 people are trafficked into the United States annually.
Florida is one of the top three "destination states" within the U.S. for trafficking. It's not Florida's beautiful scenery that draws them but rather industrial sectors such as a large service industry, agriculture and the presence of large airports, coastlines and other transit ports that make our state attractive to traffickers.
There is much information that we do not know about human trafficking due to the secretive nature and fear of the victims involved. However, we do know that the people who are often preyed upon by traffickers do not speak English, are very poor or vulnerable due to age, disability, education, etc. We also know of the tactics traffickers use such as kidnapping and making false promises of better lives and work in the U.S. People who are trafficked come from unstable and economically devastated places. They may have been victimized or abandoned, such as "throw away kids." Many are seeking work so that they can provide for themselves and their families. Traffickers count on economic deprivation, high rates of illiteracy and people who are desperate.
Next to drug trafficking, human trafficking is the most lucrative business for organized crime. Recent estimates show that the human trafficking business yields approximately $9 billion in profits each year. Unlike drugs and arms traffickers, human traffickers can continue to exploit their victims after the initial point of sale. Traffickers hold their victims by physically isolating or guarding them as well as coercing them psychologically. Most victims don't' even know where they are in the U.S. nor do they know that they have any rights under U.S. law.

Ah, good eyes. Didn't see that.
I followed you instructions and was able to modify the ZimbraGalInternalSearchBase to ROOT for one of my 10 domains on my zimbra server. Problem is when in the GAL i still do not see contacts from any of the 9 other domains. I do also have GAL sync setup to an exchange server and GAL mode set to both. I wasnt sure if that was causing issues, but whatever it is plese let me know how i can fix
Nevermind ... just found by accident that in the GAL tab for relevant domain, Internal GaL polling interval needs to have a value ... EVerything is working great

True, but I'm not basing that on only one opponent's expressed opinion/experience. Moore himself stated immediately after his match with Marciano that, "He's the strongest boxer I ever fought. I don't know that he is the hardest hitter, but he certainly hits hard enough." It's intriguing to me that the Mongoose would express some doubt about the supremacy of punching power from an adversary who he had a warm relationship with, at the time they'd just competed against each other. After his career was over, Archie definitively asserted that the first right hand Yvon Durelle floored him with in their initial meeting was indeed that hardest punch he ever took in his career.
To be sure, Rocky had more than sufficient power for his needs. But two highly qualified and experienced opponents of Rocky have both stated that he was not the man who hit them the hardest. One opinion could perhaps be readily dismissed, but such a confluence of feedback on this subject as Lowry's and Moore's can give one more pause for thought.
Marciano himself indicated that he felt his two knockout punches against Walcott were the hardest punches he ever connected with.

You hear that world? Zac Efron wants to do a High School Musical reunion! What a magical Monday this is.
The super sexy star was spotted at South by Southwest in Austin this weekend, were he was busy promoting his upcoming movie, Neighbors. That's the one where he's all shirtless and fighting with Seth Rogen.
While that's all well and good, clearly the most exciting part was when E! News asked Zac if he was down for more High School Musical. Guys! Zac is "100 percent" down.
"We're all thinking about it," Zac told E!. "I continue to see all the guys from High School Musical and every time we do…there's just this look between us. It's so cool because we never forget a single moment of that experience." So when Zac was hanging out with Lucas Grabeela few weeks ago, they were probably talking about it!
I like Seth's idea that they make an R-rated version called College Musical. All of this gives me joy. Launch the gallery to check out all the photos of Zac's SXSW outing. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be over here dancing to this all day.

March 25, 2015Reviewer: Richard in CaliforniaGreat product. Strength and a good pump in the gym. Unlike other NO powder products, this tastes amazing. Like previous poster, I have tried the Peaches N' Cream. Delicious.
Next order I'll try the Orange Twist. Definitely recommend on performance and taste.
I'm 62 and although I can't handle the load I once was able, this helps me get through my current workouts involving higher reps and moderate weight.This review is specific to Pump-HD, Peaches N' Cream
July 12, 2014Reviewer: Omar in New JerseyGotta admit I was a little skeptical because most BPI products do nothing for me and seemed under dosed, but gotta admit they have a real winner here. I tried it and was surprised I was lifting more and my muscles were so pumped my skin felt like they were gonna rip plus my shirt felt tighter by the end on my workout. I definitely recommend this and have to a couple of my friends who liked it alsoThis review is specific to Pump-HD, Peaches N' Cream
April 28, 2013Reviewer: David in ConnecticutI get a great workout every time I take Pump-HD. I have taken it for about 3 weeks now and I have had a good workout every time.

I wasn't going to try anymore bpi products after taking 1Mr but pump HD def won me back.This review is specific to Pump-HD, Peaches N' Cream

I'm talking to the owner of an LBS about doing a partial rebuild on my Nishiki 10 speed. First I want to start with a good wheelset. He recommends a change to a 7 speed cassette vs. a freewheel.
Can someone explain the difference between a freewheel and a cassette? I know what a cassette is but I guess I don't know what a freewheel is. And why go to 7 speed vs. 8 or 9 speed?
Thanks folks.

Written on: 21/04/2009
I think that The Garbage Kind by Elizabeth Laird is truly intrigueing. Now, I am not going to start of with the common phrase, "Once I had read the first page I just had to read on", or "It was a real page turner". Instead i am going to tell you a bit about the effect the book has on the reader. Now then, this book is reccommend for about 9-10 year olds, although i believe that it really should be aimed towards children of a more nature age like maybe 11- 12 year olds. I am not saying this because of the difficulty of the language, i believe that it is because of the overall plot of the story.

Ahead of the Budget, the mines ministry has sought from the finance ministry reduction of export duty on low-grade iron ore by 50% to boost production to enhance export of the mineral.
We have sought reduction in the duty on fines to 15% from the finance ministry. Now they have to decide it. Presently there is a uniform duty of 30% on both iron ore lumps and fines, mines minister Dinsha Patel said here.
Shipment of fines, having low iron content and constituting around 92% of the total iron ore exports, were at 60 million tonne (MT)in 2011-12, data compiled by mining industry body FIMI showed. This is in contrast to about 120 MT exports achieved in 2009-10.
Between April-November, 2012, total iron ore exports were at 15 MT, down over 62% compared to the same period.

Toronto's Ganz Expands Webkinz World to Facebook
Woodbridge-based toy and gaming company Ganz, best known for Webkinz World, has introduced a "game-changing innovation in family-friendly virtual fun." Ganz has launched Webkinz Friends on Facebook, a teen-targeted version of the interactive online game. Similar to the original game, Webkinz Friends has integrated more social features, taking advantage of the Facebook platform.
"Webkinz World is a family-friendly brand, and we want fans to enjoy our online world on the platforms they have embraced," said Howard Ganz, president of Ganz and creator of Webkinz. "In seven years we have seen players grow up with the game. Webkinz Friends on Facebook lets teens and adults enjoy the sharing and caring aspect of Webkinz World in a format that suits them best. We want parents to be able to play on Facebook and send prizes to their children's Webkinz World accounts. It's the new face of co-play, where everyone can have fun in their own age-appropriate environments."
Webkinz Friends is free to play. And, utilizing a cross-platform tool, players of Webkinz Friends can earn virtual prizes that can be sent anonymously to any Webkinz World account online.
"When imagining Webkinz Friends, we looked at the areas of our site that could be fun if shared," said Creative Director Karl Borst. "Live in a loft surrounded by cupcake trees or park mobile homes beside a mansion! Visit your friends' Kinzville and comment on their Facebook page."
Ganz has also extended the co-play experience with Webkinz arcade-style mobile applications for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. There are now multiple Webkinz iOS games, including Polar Plunge, Goober's Lab, and the newest, Cloud Corral. Next? Webkinz Friends for the iPad, bringing this Kinzville game to all ages of Webkinz fans.

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
The View From Mrs. Sundberg's Window
It's not officially summer yet, but sure feels that way
May 26, 2010
Listened to the show Saturday and it was not bad. Spent a good part of the day picking tent caterpillars off the walls and carpeting and returning them to where they belong out-of-doors. Don't know how they find their way in, but they do and the last thing you want to feel before you climb into bed is a caterpillar meeting its end under the weight of your bare foot. Really.
It's not officially summer yet, but sure feels that way with the heat and humidity this week, the rain, the bugs and the amount of flesh exposed in the checkout line at the grocery store. It's no secret autumn ranks top among the seasons for me, but every time of year has its glory and summer is the season of lounging, of comfortable disarray, of nostalgia and nudity and fun.
Out come the serving trays and the drinks with little umbrellas; out come the inflatable water toys and lotion smelling of coconut and footwear exposing the toes.
The kids are onto it. They've slipped into kick back mode and linger a bit outside after getting off the bus. Jeans have been replaced by plaid shorts and denim cutoffs and t-shirts that read "This is My Happy Shirt" and "Save the Earth." There's a pile of flip-flops by the front door, and if you get down on your knees at just the right angle, you can see perfectly smudged footprints of sweaty, dusty feet on the wood floor in the hallway. There have been requests for strawberries, a walleye fry, campfires, the new giant marshmallows as big as baseballs supposedly available at the store, and sunscreen. Someone needs a beach blanket, and someone else asked about swimming this weekend. I did check, and all three swimsuits are ostensibly in good shape, wearable, elastic intact.
After this coming weekend, there are only 8 days of school left in our small town. I'm not wasting any time. Summer is near, and there are things to be done. I've added to my list a few good books. Something to look forward to along with the giant marshmallows.
I'm not one for fancy things, but these cookies come close without being fussy or difficult. They're simple, and taste like sunshine, and a plate of 'em will need refilling in short order.
1 2/3 c. flour
1/3 c. powdered sugar
1 c. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg, beaten
2/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. butter
In a medium bowl, combine first 4 ingredients. Chill dough. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough into 1" balls and place 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. With thumb or forefinger, make imprint in center of each cookie. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately remove from cookie sheet, cool.
In medium saucepan, combine filling ingredients; cook over low heat, stirring until smooth and thickened. Cool. Top each cookie with about 1/4 teaspoon of filling; sprinkle with powdered sugar. Makes 36 cookies.

A new publication in Garfield County puts those who just moved here from more urban settings, or might consider relocating to the area, on notice that they're not in the city anymore.
The Garfield County Rural Living Handbook was produced by the Mount Sopris, Bookcliff and South Side Conservation districts as a way to inform newer residents about being conscientious of the region's continuing agricultural heritage.
"We do have a lot of folks moving into the area, buying small-acreage properties next to agricultural land, who may not be familiar with fence laws, trespassing, water rights and noxious weeds," said Sandy Jackson, vice president of the Mount Sopris Conservation District board.
The guide to rural living not only applies to Garfield County, but to most of northwest Colorado and other parts of the state, said Donna Gray of Williams Production, who edited the publication.
"Williams is actively involved with the conservation districts, and it's something we wanted to help produce," Gray said.
Gray worked closely with Sharie Prow, manager for Garfield County's three rural conservation districts, to write the text and come up with the many colorful and historical photos that grace the 34-page publication.
Similar publications from elsewhere in Colorado and other Western states were used for some of the basic information, but the content was tailored for Garfield County, Gray said.
Spread across the front and back covers of the book is a fall picture of the Dodo family on horseback in the high country. The longtime New Castle-area ranchers were named Colorado Rancher of the Year a few years ago by the Colorado Association of Conservation Districts.
Jackson said the handbook is being distributed at businesses, local government offices and other locations throughout the county, including chambers of commerce, real estate offices and Colorado Mountain College locations.
"When trading big-city life for life in the country, realize that big-city services may not be available, such as snowplowing or trash service," reads the section titled Code of the West.
"Where there is livestock, there are smells and noise from the animals and machinery. That's part of rural living," it continues. "And, yes, that's a mountain lion in your backyard. He lives here, too."
The handbook goes on to say that cooperation is key to being neighborly where farms and ranches interface with residential subdivisions, including:
• Building fences together.
• Controlling your dogs so they don't harass your neighbor's livestock.
• Keeping your weeds from invading your neighbor's property.
A lengthy history of agriculture in Garfield County and western Colorado is also provided.
Starting with the days of the Ute Indian hunter-gatherers, and continuing through the first large-scale farms that were developed on the valley floors, the advent of cattle and sheep grazing, and the creation of ditch systems for irrigation, agriculture has been a big part of the rural West, the book points out.
"Today, agriculture production is still a major source of economic income in Garfield County," the history section concludes.
"The main commodities produced within the area are cattle, hay, sheep and horses. Increased interest in organic and sustainable farming has seen an increase in production of fruit and vegetables that were historically grown in Garfield County."
The book also explains Colorado's Right to Farm Act and Garfield County's own Right to Farm law, which was adopted by the county commissioners in the late 1990s.
The law, which is included in the county's land-use code, puts landowners, residents and visitors on notice that agriculture remains a big part of the area's economy and that agricultural operations are to be respected and protected.
Additionally, the book covers fencing and trespassing laws, water law and agricultural irrigation rights, living with wildlife, and laws associated with keeping livestock and controlling the spread of noxious weeds.
Mineral rights, including an explanation of the split estate between surface ownership and mineral ownership, is also covered.
And, there's a section devoted to the region's sometimes extreme wildfire danger, including tips on creating a "defensible space" around rural homes.
To obtain a copy of the Garfield County Rural Living Handbook, contact the Conservation Districts/Farm Service Agency, 285 Center Drive, Glenwood Springs, or call (970) 945-5494.

Civil marriage bill significant despite being wholly insufficient

Published: 10.15.09, 00:07 / Israel Opinion
Elana Sztokman
Anyone who has encountered the real suffering brought on by this system cannot help but be in favor of civil marriage in Israel. I suppose I should qualify that: Anyone who has encountered this system and has a beating heart cannot help but be moved. Although I'm not entirely sure that all religious court judges and haredi MKs fit into that category.

Comments about Escada Magnetism Cologne:
I use this whenever I am spending the night with just my girlfriend and it is an amazing scent. It has a grape-ish flavor to it when you first spray it, but then that turns into a darker, muskier dry down that is really appealing. All my female friends really love it when I spray it and I get alot of compliments. I just wish that they didn't discontinue it :(

A first trailer for "Grace of Monaco," starring Nicole Kidman as actress-turned-princess Grace Kelly, has landed.
The film, helmed by Olivier Dahan ("La Vie en Rose") and penned by Arash Amel ("Erased"), is set in the early 1960s and focuses on Kelly's marriage to Monaco's Prince Rainier III (played here by Tim Roth); meanwhile, a political dispute is in full force between the principality and France. Frank Langella, Parker Posey, Derek Jacobi, Paz Vega and Milo Ventimiglia also star.
The Weinsteins have the film slated for a November 27 stateside release, primed to enter the Oscar fray. (Royalty biopic "Diana," starring Naomi Watts as Princess Diana, also takes a bow this season, but with complete pans from early reviews, it doesn't have much hope for awards traction.)

Nearly two-thirds of African-American boys with disabilities in St. Paul Public Schools were suspended from school at least once during the 2009-10 school year, according to a new study from the Civil Rights Project at UCLA. That's nearly double the national average and more than seven times the rate for the general student body in the St. Paul schools.
"But district officials note that the data used in the study by the University of California-Los Angeles are nearly three years old," reports MPR News' Laura Yuen. "St. Paul has lowered its suspension rate significantly for that group by training teachers and funneling special-ed kids into mainstream classes, said Liz Keenan, the district's director of special education."
The Minneapolis Public Schools are dealing with similar issues. Yuen writes, "Nearly 14 percent of African-American students in the district were suspended last year, according to district data obtained by MPR News. That compares to just 2 percent of white students."
Michelle Walker, of the St. Paul Public Schools, and Daniel Losen, author of the UCLA study, join The Daily Circuit to discuss the findings.

IKEA partners with Hanergy to install solar panels on China stores
- Date
- 14 June 2012
LONDON: Member of The Climate Group, Hanergy, has partnered with leading retailer IKEA to install solar panels on the store's buildings across China.
Hanergy, a major privately-owned power generation company with a solar production capacity of over 2000 megawatts, will make and install the new panels on IKEA-owned buildings over the next three years.
Once installed, the panels will save IKEA around 6,000 tons of CO2 every year, and will help the company reach its goal of using clean energy alone to power its buildings.
The solar photovoltaic panels also make economic sense for IKEA. They will provide 10-15% of all electricity that is needed to run IKEA stores and 100% of electricity needed to power IKEA's Chinese distribution centers.
"Our partnership with IKEA is an exciting opportunity to promote the smart use of thin film solar technology as a reliable, clean and alternative source of energy. In the current context of high electricity demand, such initiatives have the potential to relieve pressure on the national grid, support our clients' business and preserve the environment," said Li Hejun, Chairman of Hanergy.
"IKEA has a long-term commitment to use 100% renewable energy to power our buildings and this is an important and significant step towards reaching that goal. Not only will we harness the sun to help power our stores and other buildings across China, but we will also extend the scope of the project over the coming year to our supply base across the country; enabling them to utlize an affordable and reliable supply of clean energy," said Steve Howard, Chief Sustainability Officer, IKEA Group, Former CEO and Co-founder of The Climate Group.
Mark Kenber, CEO, The Climate Group says: "Collaboration between innovative business leaders will continue to drive clean technology up-scale, despite the global recession. The partnership between IKEA and Hanergy will keep greenhouse gas emissions and energy bills down, and inspired by results, it will spark similar business collaborations between industry leaders in China and beyond. Leadership such as that demonstrated by Hanergy and IKEA is accelerating the new clean industrial revolution that we need to secure sustainable, economic growth."

I am attempting to send a Point-to-Point JMS message from an oracle database stored procedure to a java application. The two 'points' sit on different machines, which I've confirmed can talk to each other via ping.
I've created a java application able to successfully take messages off a queue within the application server. The application is running within a JBoss v4.2.3 server. I've been able to successfully send a JMS message from a remote java application, so I'm sure the code running within the server is ok.
I've taken code from the working remote java application and loaded this successfully into an oracle stored procedure. I've also managed to (I believe!) load into oracle the required jar files using the loadjava utility. The three jar files I've loaded in are:
* jms-1.1
* jbossmq-3.2.3
* jboss-client-4.0.2
The three jars are used within the working remote java application and appear to be all that's required. The code contained loaded into the stored procedure is as follows:
package com.base.jms.client;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.jms.JMSException;
import javax.jms.Queue;
import javax.jms.QueueConnection;
import javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory;
import javax.jms.QueueSender;
import javax.jms.QueueSession;
import javax.jms.TextMessage;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
public class StandAloneClient {
public static String send() throws Exception {
String result = "Starting -> ";
try {
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "192.168.111.242:1099");
env.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
result = result + "Environment -> ";
// set up stuff
Context ic = new InitialContext(env);
result = result + "Context -> ";
QueueConnectionFactory connectionFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory) ic.lookup("ConnectionFactory");
result = result + "Factory -> ";
Queue queue = (Queue) ic.lookup("queue/A");
result = result + "Queue -> ";
QueueConnection connection = connectionFactory.createQueueConnection();
result = result + "Connection -> ";
QueueSession session = connection.createQueueSession(false, QueueSession.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
result = result + "Session -> ";
QueueSender sender = session.createSender(queue);
result = result + "Sender -> ";
TextMessage myMessage = session.createTextMessage();
result = result + "Sending Message -> ";
result = result + "Close";
} catch (JMSException e) {
result = result + "JMS Exception";
if(e.getMessage() != null) {
result = result + ":" + e.getMessage();
} catch (Exception e) {
result = result + "Exception";
if(e.getMessage() != null) {
result = result + ":" + e.getMessage();
return result;
I've added the result string in so I can try and determine where in the code it's falling over. To create and test this procedure, I'm executing the following commands in sqlplus:
create or replace function send_jms return VARCHAR2 as language java name 'com.base.jms.client.StandAloneClient.send() return java.lang.String';
variable myString varchar2(20);
call send_jms() into :myString;
Call completed.
print myString;
Everything seems to be loaded and compiling correctly, however the message is not being sent. The result string returned implicates it's falling over when attempting to retrieve the QueueConnectionFactory class from the InitialContext. The result string returned is:
Starting -> Environment -> Context -> Exception
I'm at a loss as to why this is not working, and have been unable to glean more from the Exception thrown. Can anyone confirm that I am doing this correctly, and if I am, see what I am doing wrong?
Apologies for the long post but thank you in advance for looking at it!

SEC Seeks More Credit-Swaps Power
Financial regulators asked Congress to enhance their power to oversee derivatives beyond a proposal by the Obama administration.
Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro told a House Agriculture Committee hearing that the proposal has loopholes and could lead market players to shop for the friendliest regulator.
The administration's proposal is aimed at avoiding a repeat of last year's financial crisis, when little-regulated and -understood products laid low big U.S. financial institutions.
Under the proposal, standardized derivatives would pass through clearinghouses and trade on exchanges or equivalents. Those trading customized products would face higher capital and margin requirements so they couldn't bet the company on a single trade.
The administration's proposal attempts to draw oversight lines between the SEC, which regulates securities and options markets, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which regulates futures markets. The SEC would be given oversight for most securities-based derivatives, except for those based on broad indexes, such as the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index. The CFTC would have oversight of those indexes and all other derivatives.
Ms. Schapiro praised the proposal for streamlining regulation of swaps but said it leaves similar products under different regulations. For example, an option to buy Microsoft Corp. shares at a future date would be regulated by current SEC rules, while a credit-default swap -- in essence, a bet on whether Microsoft might default on its debt -- would be regulated under a different rule. The products would have different rules even though they both amount to bets on Microsoft's future. Ms. Schapiro said that could lead to regulatory arbitrage, in which market players search for the friendliest regulation, and "encourage the migration of activities from the traditional regulated markets."
The administration proposal directs the SEC and CFTC to write joint rules for the market, with the Treasury Department to act as a tie-breaker when the agencies don't see eye to eye.
"As an independent agency, I find it to be a little bit of a concern," Ms. Schapiro said. It "provides opportunities for industry or others who don't like the approach to go up to the next level and have the not-yet-tie broken."
A Treasury spokesman said the administration "is committed to modernizing our regulatory system ... ." It said it will continue to work with congressional committees "to pass a bill that accomplishes those goals this year."
