Irving, Texas – After dealing with nagging injuries all training camp, the Broncos suffered a major injury Saturday night. Starting defensive end Ebenezer Ekuban appears to be lost for the season with an Achilles tear.
After the Broncos' 31-20 loss at Dallas, Denver coach Mike Shanahan said the initial reports are that Ekuban will be lost for the season. Ekuban was hurt early in the second quarter. He banged his hand to the turf and was assisted off the field. He was taken to the locker room on a cart.
"It's tough right now," Ekuban said, leaving the locker room on crutches.
The candidates to replace Ekuban are rookie Tim Crowder and veteran Kenard Lang.
The Broncos had another scare when starting running back Travis Henry left the game in the second quarter. Shanahan said after the game that Henry is believed to have a first-degree MCL sprain, which is mild, in his left knee and he could be available to play Saturday against Cleveland. However, it wouldn't be a surprise if Henry sat out the rest of the preseason as a precaution for the Sept. 9 regular-season opener at Buffalo. Henry said the injury was not serious.
Henry's backup Mike Bell had a hip flexor, but Shanahan indicated it wasn't serious. Safety Curome Cox had a shoulder injury that is also expected to be minor.
Warren update
The Broncos are considering three options regarding lame-duck defensive tackle Gerard Warren. They'll trade him, release him or try to mend fences and keep him. The team still wants to trade him and is hoping to complete a deal early in the week. Washington and Indianapolis may be the best fits for a trade.
If Warren is not traded, he could be released, likely by the first mandatory cut date, Aug. 28. The team will also discuss keeping Warren. But that is the last option. Shanahan said as early as Wednesday that he would be open to the idea.
Williams family attends game
About 10 members of Darrent Williams' family attended the game as guests of Broncos owner Pat Bowlen. Williams' 7-year-old son Darius, wearing a Champ Bailey jersey, had his picture taken with the entire Denver secondary before the game.
Williams' mother, Rosalind Williams, did not attend the game.
Special teams update
The Todd Sauerbrun and Paul Ernster punting duel got interesting. In the first quarter, Sauerbrun, re-signed in the offseason, shanked a punt that went 15 yards. Ernster, last year's punter, helped his cause by having a long touchback on the opening kickoff. Ernster's best chance to make the team is if the coaches decide to keep Sauerbrun as the punter and Ernster as the kickoff specialist.
Big crowd
The Broncos' first two draft picks were well represented at Texas Stadium. Defensive ends Jarvis Moss and Crowder are from the Dallas area. Crowder said he had about 250 people at the game and Moss accounted for another 50. Crowder did not play because of an ankle injury he suffered Thursday afternoon. He'll likely return for the preseason finale, Aug. 30 against Arizona at Invesco Field at Mile High.
The Broncos were penalized nine times for 78 yards. … The team is talking to some free-agent offensive tackles and will likely sign one or two early this week. … The Broncos' captains were quarterback Jay Cutler and defensive backs Bailey and John Lynch. … It was 91 degrees with 56 percent humidity at game time … Denver's Brandon Marshall started and had three catches for 25 yards.
Five goals
Broncos beat writer Bill Williamson looks at five goals for the Broncos in their game Saturday at Dallas and whether they accomplished them.
1. The quarterback: Second-year quarterback Jay Cutler really should get a pass. He was playing with a patchwork offensive line and he had little time to work, especially early in the game. But Cutler did some decent things as he completed 7-of-13 passes for 58 yards. Saturday's contest against visiting Cleveland will likely be Cutler's final tuneup before the regular season.
2. Stop the run: The first-team defense struggled against the run Monday at San Francisco. Saturday night, the unit struggled against the run and the pass. Dallas amassed 219 yards and 24 points in 33 plays.
3. Stay healthy on the offensive line: The line didn't sustain any new injuries but it needs to get healthy in a hurry.
4. Marshall and Scheffler debut: Second-year receiver Brandon Marshall made his starting debut and had three catches for 25 yards. As long as he stays healthy, Marshall will be fine. Scheffler made his preseason debut in the second half.
5. Linebacker race: Nate Webster started over D.D. Lewis – who started against the 49ers – and made some plays. Webster is leading this race.

Avigail Olarte
(I am reprinting this informative article from pcij to help our readers analyze the 2007 election campaign and results. Please note that Ang Ladlad was the most covered party list with almost 4.28 minutes. If a one-second exposure can be quantified at P10,000, then we got almost P4.28 million of free publicity. And that was only from January to February, 2007. Imagine...)
CAMPAIGN sorties, jingles, slogans, and personalities dominated media's coverage of the senatorial elections in the first three weeks of the campaign.
This was one of the key findings of the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR) in its initial report on the 2007 elections coverage. From February 13 to March 2, CMFR monitored the coverage of the three major dailies — Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Star, and Manila Bulletin — and six television news programs on ABS-CBN 2, GMA 7, ABC 5, and NBN 4.
CMFR said readers and viewers were "treated to a daily log of the candidates' campaign sorties, complete with the usual 'color' pieces on who was the most-cheered candidate in an area, or how Team Unity senatorial candidate Juan Miguel Zubiri beat the other candidates in getting a franchise on that insanely infectious ditty, Boom Tarat Tarat."
CMFR also revealed that television devoted a mere 5.54 percent of its airtime to development and policy issues, while the broadsheets had so far not allotted much space to these issues.
CMFR said these were the very same concerns raised in the coverage of the 2004 presidential elections.
See related post, "Why elections are covered as sport."
"The first three weeks is the most crucial period of coverage because it will set the tone for the rest of the campaign," said CMFR deputy director and journalism professor Luis Teodoro. According to Teodoro, media should raise the level of discourse by reporting on more substantive issues.
But the lack of reports on key issues is not entirely the fault of the media, Teodoro said, as the candidates and political parties themselves "are working on the old assumption that the electorate is not interested on issues."
At the same time, Teodoro said, the media "can help set the agenda," he said, as can be seen in online news sites like GMANews.tv and Inquirer.net which strive to report on important issues.
In CMFR's initial findings, only 11 out of some 101 newspaper reports on the Senate and party-list elections touched on crucial issues. And most of these reports barely explained how the candidates intended to address issues like poverty, education, global warmingLearning-to-Love-Global-Warming , and charter change.
"Most of the articles reported on a candidate's position on an issue, but did not explain how the candidate planned to translate his views into action. Was it perhaps because the candidates had no idea themselves?" CMFR said. "It would have helped if the reports indicated if this was indeed the case — if, for example, the reporter pressed the candidate to explain how, say, this motherhood statements on ending poverty could be translated into policy through legislation."
In television, there were more personality-oriented reports — how certain candidates spent their Valentine's Day with their spouses or how the celebrities were campaigning — than stories on development or policy issues.
"Worse, the TV reports were content to mention that these were the platforms of a certain candidate or his or her stand on a certain issue, with no full-length discussion as to the issues, platforms, or advocacies of the candidates," CMFR added.
Teodoro also said media should strive to do an in-depth analysis of what's really at stake in this elections.
"The country is at a crossroads — it can follow the path of restoration or of authoritarian rule. And the outcome of the 2007 elections could lead to the resolution of the legitimacy issue. But I don't see that kind of analysis anywhere," he said.
But Teodoro admitted that stories like these do not really sell, despite indications that the electorate is "gaining some wisdom," as shown in recent surveys where celebrities barely made it to the top senatorial list.
A recent survey also shows that voters are now more aware of party-list groups, Teodoro said, but sadly, the media cover the party-list groups only when there's controversy involved, as in the case of the gay-lesbian group Ang Ladlad.
Ang Ladlad was the party-list group most covered by all six TV programs, with a total airtime of only 4.28 minutes. It was followed by Bayan Muna, Gabriela Women's Party, AnakPawis, and Kabataan Party List. And of the 419 front-page articles published in the broadsheets from February 14 to March 2, only one article was about the party-list elections, CMFR said.
CMFR further reported that the most covered candidates in both print and broadcast came from the administration's Team Unity. For television, TU's Cesar Montano had the most combined airtime coverage, followed by partymate Ralph Recto.
In the three newspapers, most reports were on former oppositionists and now administration candidates Vicente Sotto, Tessie Aquino Oerta, and Edgardo Angara. Other reports included the feud between couple Vilma Santos and Ralph Recto with brother Batangas vice governor Ricky Recto, over the gubernatorial contest in Batangas.
Only the Inquirer wrote about the Ang Kapatiran Party, CMFR said, but the reports failed to include the party's program of action.
Teodoro said CMFR hopes that media organizations will study the results of the study and make adjustments on their coverage.
He said that in 2004, CMFR noticed that newspapers exercised "more restraint" in their reporting than TV news programs, which was evident in their refusal to sensationalize certain issues.
There was also a conscious effort to cover all the 2004 candidates equally, but at the same time, media still tended to focus on political controversies and gave undue prominence to public opinion polls.
"Media exposure and coverage are critical to successful campaigns," CMFR wrote in its 2004 report. "The performance of the press, the accuracy, fairness and balance of reporting and commentary are significant issues in the projection of a candidate. Media reporting that covers the elections as a circus or just another 'horse race' will not help voters weigh their options and their choices seriously."
Campaign coverage mostly on sorties, personalities

Arsenal News: Done deal, talks underway over late switch, move delayed until summer
STARSPORT brings you the latest news coming out of the Emirates Stadium.
Nigerian midfielder Kelechi Nwakali has confirmed he has joined Arsenal, according to the Daily Express.
The 17-year-old posted a message on his Facebook page announcing his arrival at the Gunners.
"Happy I made it. Now the work begins," he wrote.
Arsenal are also signing his Nigeria Under-17 international team-mate Samuel Chukwueze.
A picture emerged this morning showing Nwakali and Chukwueze with Arsene Wenger and Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis.
Arsenal are in talks with Aston Villa over a loan move for Mathieu Debuchy, the Daily Mirror report.
The Frenchman is desperate to leave the Emirates Stadium before Monday night's transfer deadline after making only eight appearances this season.
Villa want to sign him for the rest of the season and are prepared to pay a £1.5m loan fee to Arsenal and take on the 30-year-old's £60,000-a-week wages in a desperate bid to beat the drop.
The Mirror also report that Arsenal will not try and rush through a deal for Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell before the transfer window slams shut.
Wenger has a long-term interest in the 19-year-old and the Gunners have had two bids for the defender rejected.
They will revive their efforts to sign Chilwell in the summer but are likely to face heavy competition from Liverpool.

A few weeks ago, IGN took a stab at highlighting a few of the best vendettas in video game history. While a few inescapable classics will make almost any list largely based on tradition and recurrence (see: Nintendo and Sega's brand-defining characters), we decided to highlight a few of our own favorites this week and volunteer them into the discussion.
Sonic vs. Dr. Robotnik
This rivalry became synonymous with the Sega brand from 1991 onward, as Sonic was constantly forced to rescue his supercute woodland friends from the evil clutches of Dr. Robotnik and his mech-fetish.
Mario vs. Bowser
From one brand-defining feud to another—as Mario's popularity continued to solidify Nintendo's position in the gaming marketplace, his ongoing dispute with the Princess-napping King Koopa himself, Bowser, established its place in gaming history.
Kratos vs. the Gods of Olympus
The God of War series is a relatively recent entrant, but anytime a rage-filled Spartan warrior goes on a crusade against the Gods, dismembering his way all the way up the chain to Zeus himself, it has to warrant heavy consideration on this list.
Scorpion vs. Sub-Zero
A blood feud that has lasted through several generations, dimensions, and afterlives, these two original Mortal Kombat warriors will stop at nothing to rip the spines out of one another. Literally.
Cloud vs. Sephiroth
Borne out of what might well be considered Square Enix's pinnacle achievement, Final Fantasy VII, the clash between protagonist Cloud and Sephiroth is simultaneously intensely personal, heartwrenching, draining, and epic in every sense of the word.
Solid Snake vs. Liquid Snake
Siblings, clones, jealousy, foils, and failure… the incredible story-oriented Metal Gear Solid series constructed one of gaming's best and most tragic rivalries between Solid Snake and Liquid Snake—two sides of the same coin divided forever by their very inception.
Of course, there are several other quality nominees in this category—Link vs. Ganondorf from Zelda, Ken vs. Ryu from Streetfighter, Leon vs. Wesker from Resident Evil, Gordon Freeman vs. (sort of) the G-Man in Half-Life—but at this point, we turn it over to you, dear reader. What are your favorite gaming feuds of all time, and why? Your choices are most welcome below.
In other gaming news this week, The Last of Us goes gold, EA gives its newly-acquired Star Wars IP the royal treatment, and we get a preview of what to expect from E3 this year. Read on!
- If you're lucky enough to be attending E3 this year, or are simply curious about what kind of coverage to expect coming out of the world's largest gaming convention in 2013, here's the full list of games that will be present at E3 this year.
- Following the wild success of their Walking Dead games, Telltale Games is returning to the graphic novel well with their followup game: The Wolf Among Us. Check out some early screenshots and artwork here.

- Speaking of Assassin's Creed… channel your inner pirate with the new Assassin's Creed 4 trailer.
- The Verge is reporting that Microsoft has finally decided to cut out the middleman by killing off their Points system and switching to actual currency and gift cards.
- Meteor Entertainment CEO Mark Long learned a lesson in gender equality last month.
- It appears that the PS4 has its slogan: Greatness Awaits.
- EA has certainly been busy. After acquiring the rights for the Star Wars franchise from Disney last week, this week they opened up a new LA-based development studio that will reportedly be dedicated only to Star Wars games.

HGTV's 2008 Dream Home: The Florida Keys Giveaway
This could all be yours! HGTV's annual Dream Home sweepstakes is in full swing. This year, the designer property is located in the Florida Keys. Jump down for more photos (and details) of the $2.2 million dollar prize package.
The house itself is a 3-story, 3-bedroom, fully-furnished giant situated right on along the coastline. The winner will also receive a matching Doggy Dream Home and a 2008 GMC Yukon. You can enter the contest once a day up until Feb. 19th and the winner will be notified in the middle of March. Are you going to try for it?
We're always a bit skeptical of these kinds of sweepstakes. The winner may win the (purchase price of the) house with no strings attached but few people think about the immediate and exorbitant taxes, the utility cost of maintaining a house this size, and all the other less-glamorous but expensive details that go along with homeownership.
But don't let us talk you out of it! Take a tour of the home and, if it truly is your dream, go for it. If you win, you could always sell off the gas-guzzling Yukon and clear out much of the Ethan Allen explosion going on inside.

In the recent past, shopping was associated with hours of strolling around in malls to buy things that you wanted to. Shopping from home was something not even imagined. But today, online shopping has gained popularity, and many reliable online shopping portals have bloomed up offering different items such as home appliances, electrical appliances, superhero t-shirts, gadgets, gift items, decorative goods, kitchenware, and so on.

Online shopping offers numerous advantages such as amazing choices, great deals and offers, online payment facilities, free shipping, door delivery, sizing facilities (for clothing), and so on. You can buy xiaomi cases, moto gen cases, and specific items of this sort at great discounts from certain sites. But there are also certain things that you have to be careful about while shopping online.
You should be well acquainted with concepts of shopping online; ecommerce; and using credit cards and debit cards for your online transactions. You can get good knowledge on these from the net itself. Numerous websites provide useful information on making purchases and payments at the leading online shopping avenues.
Nevertheless, online shopping offers secure and safe transactions of your payments. But, you need to be vigilant and precautious while giving your personal details while shopping online. Ensure that the details -asking software or form belongs to the website you are shopping.
Beware of mails that ask you for your credit card or bank account details. For example, you buy posters online, and they follow up asking you for your bank account pin, beware! They are always fraudulent mails as the online shopping portals never ask for your financial details of this sort.
Make sure that you shop only at the reputed online shopping portals with numerous positive comments, and customer reviews. Check out the social networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, etc to get original views of the online shoppers.

Archers character deletes social media over 'shocking comments'
An actor who plays a devious character in The Archers has removed social media from his house due to "shocking" comments from listeners.
Timothy Watson stars in the Radio 4 soap as villain Rob Titchener, whose marriage to Helen Archer is at the centre of a current storyline.
The dynamics of their relationship is enthralling listeners who love to hate controlling Rob.
Speaking at the Radio Times Festival about listeners' reactions to his character, Watson said: "The great joy of radio in this situation from my point of view is that it is visually very anonymous."
But he added: "I have now removed all sorts of social media from the house."
The actor said he did so because he read comments on Twitter and Facebook which were "quite shocking".
He said people have said things to him, such as, "Oh I can't stand you", which he says he takes as a compliment.
The long-running rural soap is almost 65 years old and is approaching its 18,000th episode.

Will Congress change military retirement?
Brandi commented in the previous post:
I can't wait to snag a copy of your book this summer, and I am looking forward to your post on asset allocation considerations when you are getting a military pension. I do have a question for you – with politicians in Congress in charge of our compensation, and the nation facing a large budget deficit, do you see any changes to the current retirement system in the future? I can't see Congress making drastic changes without grandfathering people in, but I am 15 years and 3 months from collecting a pension, and that seems like plenty of time for something to change. We know changes could be coming to TriCare premiums soon, but what else do you see as possible? Eliminating COLA increases? Reducing the percentage of base pay given? Increasing the age at which you can start collecting the pension? A shift to a defined contribution plan? Just curious to see what theories are out there – and trying to keep my expectations low!
I can understand everyone's concern that military pay and benefits could suffer yet again as Congress tries to balance the budget and maybe even cut the nation's debt. However I don't see any major changes to the military's pay or retirement systems– it's been tried before and it didn't work out so well. Here's the background.
I've been retired for nearly nine years after a 20-year career, and I've seen a few pendulum swings. I was a midshipman when Ronald Reagan was elected president. At a morning formation shortly after the inauguration I learned that my pay had jumped by nearly 25%. Enthusiasm was running hot for a long time after that news. The "hollow force" post-Vietnam era was ending and the all-volunteer force began to improve.
I started my career under what became known as the "Final Pay" retirement system. A different kind of "enthusiasm" swept the military later in the 1980s when Congress tinkered with Final Pay. The new "High Three" calculation reduced the retirement system's "base pay" about 5% by averaging the highest three years of pay before retirement. These changes were seen as typical adjustments to the federal retirement system, along with the federal government's civil-service retirement changes and the nation's growing 401(k) programs. Back then the military was still struggling to expand and confront the Soviet Union's "Evil Empire", and this retirement change wasn't met with exactly the same sort of enthusiasm as the pay raises received. However the economy was still recovering from high inflation, jobs were scarce, and the military was hiring. The military was able to meet its retention goals by introducing more targeted bonuses for officers and by raising re-enlistment bonuses, so the personnel situation didn't seem so bad.
Then Congress passed the REDUX retirement bill. The original version of this system encouraged longer career service by reducing the 20-year retirement to 40% of base pay (instead of today's 50%). By the mid 1990s, however, retention had plummeted. Some of this was due to the end of the Cold War, the disruption of the DESERT STORM mobilization (for active duty as well as Reserves/National Guard), the subsequent "peace dividend" drawdown, and the roaring Internet economy. To make matters worse, DoD actually offered cash to some servicemembers to separate before their obligations ended. Many of the military's best performers stampeded for the exits.
Unfortunately recruiting had been cut back under the assumption that retention would stay about the same as historical rates. Personnel shortages grew even more severe despite attempts to raise retention. Bonuses spread and grew, and targeted pay raises were applied to some ranks, but servicemembers still thought they could make more money as civilians than by hanging on for a REDUX retirement. By 1999 the Joint Chiefs of Staff, notorious for their interservice rivalries, actually appeared together before Congress to explain that retention could only be raised by eliminating the REDUX system.
Individual members of Congress may have a short institutional memory, but the nation's military support groups and a number of think tanks haven't forgotten what REDUX did to the services. Any proposed pay or retirement changes will be subject to intense media & lobbying scrutiny, and if retention suffers then Congress will take the blame at the next election. So it seems difficult to reduce the retirement system's base-pay percentage or to raise the pension's starting age.
However I believe there are some areas of military retirement that could be modified without provoking widespread outcry. Any changes to the Social Security system (such as a smaller Cost of Living Adjustment, or COLA) could be applied to federal civil-service retirements and the military pension system. Some skeptics and cynics already claim that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is manipulated to reduce COLA adjustments. Delaying a retirement COLA or tying COLA to a percentage of the CPI (instead of raising it by the CPI) would reduce pensions without appearing to be a significant benefits cut.
Another retirement-change possibility would be raising the "Career Status Bonus". It's been $30,000 since REDUX was repealed, and if the CSB was doubled then a number of math-challenged servicemembers would volunteer for a reduced retirement. This might actually be hailed as a benefit, but there are a number of reasons why REDUX is a bad deal. I'll cover that analysis in a separate post.
With less than five years of service, you certainly could be affected by these changes. However I suspect that they'd only be applied to new recruits, not current servicemembers. You'd be subject to more traditional methods of reducing the military's retirement expenses: giving targeted pay raises and bonuses only to high-demand occupations, or even "force shaping" by discharging members before they're retirement eligible.
Changes to the military's retirement system are a big concern to all, but you have a more important issue to consider at this stage of your career: whether or not it's fulfilling and "fun". (It's probably already "challenging".) No matter how attractive a military retirement seems from your perspective, it's not worth 15 years of misery. If you enjoy what you're doing now then you should keep doing it, just one obligation at a time. But you should also make sure that you're qualifying for promotion while making your skills even more valuable through college courses (funded by tuition assistance) and advanced training. This is hard when you'd rather be enjoying liberty, but stay motivated by studying subjects that interest you and could benefit you in the military or out of it. Learn everything you can about the Reserves and the National Guard and consider whether you'd rather stay on active duty. Then when the fun stops you can make your retention decision with the confidence of your skills, not just hoping to find a job.
Speaking of higher Tricare premiums, here's the latest DoD proposal: a much more modest 13 percent increase for retired TRICARE Prime enrollees for FY2012, with no enrollment fee or deductible changes for TRICARE Standard or TRICARE For Life. Specifically, the plan calls for:
- Raising the 2012 Prime enrollment fees by 13% — from $230 single/$460 family per year to $260/$520
- Indexing those fees in 2013 and beyond to a medical inflation index (based on a measure of Medicare cost growth projected to rise at 6.2% per year)
- Minor changes to TRICARE pharmacy copays.
Although a defined contribution plan seems as unlikely as a return to REDUX, DoD may still add some version of Roth 401(k) legislation for the military's Thrift Savings Plan. This would not only allow servicemembers to contribute $16,500 of their pre-tax pay to the TSP (even more under certain conditions) but would allow them to contribute after-tax pay as well. The TSP is the nation's largest collection of index funds, with the lowest expense ratios, and this would give a great tax-deferred savings boost to any retirement portfolio!
Low expectations are a great plan for never being disappointed. But as long as you're having fun then spend as much time as you can maximizing your education & training opportunities. When the retention decision is at hand, you want to be confident that you've done everything possible to be ready to leave active duty if necessary.
And no matter how long you stay on active duty, keep saving as much as you can! Financial independence means that you can choose a retirement on your terms.

I grew up in the chicago area as the oldest of four kids. Although I had a ton of interests, it wasn't until my junior year in high school when I quit the basketball and baseball teams to be in a musical and find what I was made to do: music. writing, performing, recording. . .anything!
After majoring in music theory and composition at judson university, I joined the student impact staff at willow creek church as a worship leader. I loved my time there, but the definite highlight was meeting a fantastic girl named Shauna and convincing her to marry me. About a year later, we struck up a friendship with Rob Bell and moved to join his church, Mars Hill, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I jumped in as the worship leader and Shauna joined the leadership staff. Like before, our time at Mars Hill was good, but the highlight was personal. On october 7, 2006, Shauna gave birth to our first kid, Henry, who is insanely cute and built like a mack truck.
In January of 2009, I rejoined the Willow Creek staff as one of the weekend worship leaders and we moved back to the Chicagoland area. Our second son, Mac, was born on Sept 26, 2011, bringing our family to four. For the last two years, along with leading worship and traveling, I've been pouring my heart into A New Liturgy, which is a series of 25 recorded "liturgies"- worship journeys of music, scripture, prayer, and space. You can check them out at anewliturgy.com.
Over the course of this story, I've become less sure of most things, but absolutely sure about a few things: First, I have the greatest family in the world. I couldn't love Shauna, Henry, and Mac more...and feel lucky every day. Second, I am absolutely convinced that we've all been invited to join God in serving and healing the world. These are dark days, but His Movement of Love will not stop until all things are made right. And I want to do everything I can with the life I've been given to be a part of it.

text: The commit of the libtool versioning change (and all the associated PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED bumps) is complete. Please make sure that your next update of pkgsrc is complete; in particular, to get the new value of LIBTOOL_REQD in mk/bsd.pkg.mk. The PKGREVISION was bumped in about 2200 packages, probably making this the biggest such bump ever. But, this was done for a very important reason; it fixes a long-standing problem in the way libtool has been choosing shared library versions (PR pkg/26633). By default, dependencies will require updating all bumped packages. However, it's not *required* that all bumped packages be updated immediately. If you want to compile against older packages to provide a smoother transition path, you may set: IGNORE_RECOMMENDED=YES in mk.conf. Note that packages built with this option set should not be put on public FTP servers, as they are nonstandard. You'll notice most readily that (on most host platforms) shared libraries have switched to 3-part version numbers. The good part of this is that libraries that were previously changing major numbers for added functions (say, libexpat) will now change only minor numbers, thus staying ABI compatible and not requiring rebuilding of dependencies. I don't have access to all host platforms usable with pkgsrc, so it's possible that this change is broken on some platforms. Please report any breakage you see to firstname.lastname@example.com (and feel free to Cc: me directly). -- -- Todd Vierling <email@example.com> <email@example.com>

The latest news from schools in your area.
More good news for Tring School
Tring School is thrilled after being officially named a 'good school with many outstanding features'.
This is an exceptionally positive statement from the SIAMS (Schools Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) team following their visit in early June.
The inspectors were particularly impressed with the quality of provision for philosophy and religious studies and they praised the school's spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of young people. These elements were graded as outstanding.
The school is immensely proud of this judgement and feel it is a just reward for all of the hard work put in by the students, staff and governors.
Headteacher Sue Collings proudly said: "The SIAMS inspection is another fantastic and exciting endorsement for Tring School following our Ofsted inspection earlier in the year."
Ofsted rated the school 'good with some outstanding aspects'.
Ms Collings said: "Our Christian values are very important to us and they underpin all of our decision making.
"Everyone in our community benefits from our distinctive Christian ethos and this leads to a unique community spirit which is celebrated by all.
"My thanks and appreciation go to all of the staff, students, governors and parents at Tring School.
"Our next steps are to fully embed our values even further and to do this we will celebrate them more overtly. Once again, more exciting times at Tring School!"
Even better news for St Paul's
St Paul's School in Chipperfield has even more of a reason to be happy after being rated outstanding in every area by inspectors from Ofsted.
Their report was full of praise for the village education establishment.
One part of it said: "Pupils thrive in the school's happy, nurturing, yet academically challenging atmosphere that lives up to its motto 'Love to learn, and learn to love'.
"Pupils get off to a very good start in the Early Years Foundation Stage. Nearly all pupils make excellent progress in all year groups in a wide range of subjects including reading, writing and mathematics. By the end of Year 6 standards are well above average.
"Teaching is outstanding. Teachers have high expectations of their pupils and provide interesting work that stretches the most able and enables all pupils to succeed.
"Teaching assistants provide excellent support to small groups and individuals and help to ensure that all pupils, including disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs, make outstanding progress.
"Attendance has been sustained at a high level and reflects pupils' very positive attitudes to school and enjoyment of learning. Their behaviour is exemplary in classrooms and around the school.
"The school provides a stimulating range of subjects for pupils, with carefully planned learning outcomes. This rich and varied experience is enhanced by an excellent range of lunchtime and after-school clubs.
"Leadership is excellent and has taken the school from strength to strength. There is a relentless drive on raising standards by improving teaching and ensuring that all pupils are helped to do as well as possible.
"There is a strong sense of teamwork amongst staff and support for the direction taken by the inspirational headteacher. Staff feel valued and given good scope to develop their own skills and expertise. Subject leaders play an effective role in leading their areas.
"Governors provide a good level of support and challenge. They know the school well through detailed information provided by the headteacher as well as their own frequent visits."
Headteacher Norah Tattersall said: "We are delighted."
Somewhat good news for the Astley Cooper School despite improvement call
Hemel Hempstead's Astley Cooper school, meanwhile, was given a 'requires improvement' rating – but was ranked good in the leadership and management category.
This was the first grade two 'good' rating that the school has ever received from Ofsted.
Writing to parents, headteacher Eddie Gaynor said: "We have much to be proud of and the school has made considerable progress since its last inspection 18 months ago."
The inspectors' report said its leadership team 'share a clear commitment to raising standards through setting high expectations, promoting improvements in teaching and the regular tracking of students' progress'.
Mr Gaynor said: "The report accurately reflects a number of our school's good features but we are a school whose overall effectiveness still requires improvement."
The report says progress in English and science is better in current GCSE classes than previously, but requires further improvement because students have not made enough progress in the past.'
Mr Gaynor said: "An inspection is a snapshot of a school at a particular moment in time.
"Significant progress has been made in the quality of teaching, we do have high expectations, our reputation is changing, and our numbers are rising.
"We remain determined to become a good school in every sense and can assure you that we were already addressing the key findings in the Ofsted report."

I've wondered for awhile now how I would write this post; what I would say. Eight hundred words seems only enough to barely outline the dimensions of what I've wrestled with for the last several months.
You see, we're leaving Africa.
(For now. …Or so I tell myself.)
So many factors, really, have sifted out what feels like the remaining solution. Among the factors: My husband's job. My kids' education. Other family factors we've batted back and forth, scouring for solutions until it seems this is really the only way to love well. And in many ways, the poor and this work God's been doing in our midst will be better served as my husband performs his leadership role from Engineering Ministries International's home office in Colorado. (Colorado! I should be thrilled, right?!)
And yet.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: Nirvana vs. KISS – Readers Poll
The inductees have been named and both Nirvana and KISS are among the acts selected for the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class. There's no denying the resume of either act and they're definitely worthy entries, but if you could only pick one of the two, which would it be?
Nirvana had a shorter career, with Kurt Cobain's death effectively ending the band's brief but spectacular career. 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' is often credited for signifying the grunge scene's takeover of music, and the band's 'Nevermind' album sold over 30 million discs. For the better part of three years Nirvana was untouchable with hit after hit and much attention given to every single and album release both pre and post 'Nevermind.' Their success, along with the breakouts of fellow grunge bands, essentially signified an end to the over abundant hair metal scene that was dominating hard rock at the end of the '80s.
KISS, meanwhile, became a sensation in their own right during the '70s. The face paint and flamboyant stage outfits first seemed like a gimmick, but eventually became seen as a badge of honor for the band and their loyal fans in the KISS Army. Including their 1978 solo discs, KISS have received 28 gold albums, the most of any American rock band. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons have kept the band vital through numerous lineup changes and it could be argued that the group is releasing some of their best music to date within the last five years. The hits — 'Rock and Roll All Nite,' 'Shout It Out Loud,' 'Beth,' 'Calling Dr. Love,' 'Christine Sixteen,' 'I Was Made for Lovin' You,' 'Lick It Up,' 'Heaven's on Fire,' 'Forever' and 'Hell or Hallelujah' — have become rock staples and live favorites making the band true rock icons.
Add to the debate that Gene Simmons has publicly stated that he doesn't view Kurt Cobain as an icon. In an interview, he stated, "One or two records, that's not enough … What, just because you died, that makes you an icon? No. No. There aren't any [superstars bigger than their music]."
So, if you could only choose one of the two acts — who would it be? Vote in our Readers Poll below:

Due to not getting the mortgage companies to voluntarily reduce the principal balances, HAMP is failing, as noted in an excellent story in The Huffington Post.
Reducing principal balance is, to agree to lower the total amount owed on a house, so that homeowners can avoid foreclosure. HAMP rarely does that.
What happened is, the mortgage companies took their foot off the gas last year when judicial mortgage modification was before Congress. Once they defeated that in the Senate, by saying they would do thing to avoid foreclosures, they embraced HAMP as the easy way out, and it was back to business as usual.
Mortgage companies told the politicians, hey, we are fixing the problem ourselves, no need to force us, that would mess up the mortgage market.
HAMP, of course, is voluntary.
And, of all things, the mortgage companies say to our leaders, watch that moral hazard, do not let people off the hook for the amount they agreed to pay for a house just because it went down in value!
Well, I am not sure how much money is left in the federal government moral hazard account, after the trillions our leaders spent guaranteeing and bailing out the mortgage companies who did, after all, make hundreds of thousands of bad loans.
But, did, after all, make lots and lots of campaign donations, to both parties.
Many of my clients tell me, they do everything the mortgage company asks for them to qualify under the HAMP program, only to have the rug pulled out from under them, usually after months, and be told they do not qualify after all.
The story of one such couple, who ended up owing MORE on their mortgage, $20,000 more is told by MSNBC.
As opposed to a principal reduction, that would have reduced everyone's losses, including the precious banks who seem to run the country now.
Even the investors in the securitized trusts that actually own the mortgages have figured it out.
Quoting from the Huffington Post,
" . . . .Micah Green, a partner at Patton Boggs LLP, a Washington law firm that represents a mortgage-investor group of asset managers who hold more than $100 billion in residential mortgage-backed securities.
Without principal reductions, "there is a growing realization within the administration and on Capitol Hill that it's very difficult to bottom out the housing market," Green said.
"The interests of investors are totally aligned with those of homeowners," he added. "Investors are willing to put money on the table and frankly take their losses, which they already have."
Foreclosures continue to rise, there will be even more, house value continues to decline, making even more homes worth less than what is owed on them.
It says here, come summer, it will be impossible for the White House and our other leaders to deny that the crisis is worsening and the political fingers in the dyke will not prevent the dam from bursting.
HAMP Failing To Stem Foreclosures

I can't cope with my dog anymore :( be gentle please.(69 Posts)
I have a 7 yo Patterdale who we got from a friend of a friends dad. Bad idea I know now.
We've had her for a year now and I really thought I was getting somewhere with her. We have been doing PAT with her as she was too snappy and barky at other dogs.
She slipped her harness today got her muzzle off and attacked another dog. Bit it in 4 places, the dog has had to stay in the vets overnight and it's coating us nearly 400 pounds.
I'm at the end of my tether, she had been so much better. She laid down and looked at me afterwards.
I absolutely adore her but I can't cope with this anymore
Where do I go from here? She's had a vet check and nothing wrong, seen a behaviourist who said she wasn't aggressive. I'm a horrible d
I have a dog aggressive dog and after nearly a year we are having one bad day a week instead of one good day a week, I can sympathise with the amount of work you are putting in, the relapses are heartbreaking.
We a SBT and were told not to use a harness on her as her pulling against it while walking empowers her or dog behaviourist advised a rope lead and there has been a great improvement I think that's because I feel more confident using it.
I would find another behaviourist and do you have insurance that covers her attacking other dogs, ours does.
I am not familiar with PAT, what is that?
I await my flaming- but if you are getting no pleasure from this dog, and if the dog can have no freedom because it is dog aggressive, and if you have spent a year trying to put it right, and if it has seriously hurt another dog, then it should be PTS.
Hi OP, do you mean BAT?
Sorry that should have been BAT. Curlew that's what my DP, DParents, DPIL etc have said. I don't want to though I love her and she finally has a nice life with me
Thank you, it's nice to be able to offload.
Sorry ClaimedByMe, I couldn't see what your post said as on my phone.
Insurance doesn't cover it, I checked I'm going to have to try another behaviourist. It feels so hopeless though, I have been in tears ever since. The other dog didn't even fight back
Oh and I should add I get a lot of pleasure from her at home. Not so much out I agree.
She knocked DD ( nearly 4) over while she was going for the dog, this has translated to everyone as she was being aggressive to her
It doesn't sound like she was being aggressive to your dd, I can imagine my dog knocking over anything or anyone that is in her way of getting to where she wants to go.
I also get lots of pleasure from my dog in house but going out can be a bit of a nightmare.
My utmost sympathies. My dog has never actually attacked another dog <touch wood>, but is dog aggressive. He will jump, lunge, snarl and make some horrendous, murderous noises. I understand the stress, strain and anxiety managing such a dog involves. Now, I'm far from an expert, but someone on this very board once gave me some great advice: When it's all too much, take a day off. No walks that day. Throw a ball, do some training, whatever. But stay at home and give yourself and your dog a break. Then think of a new way of tackling the problem. It might be that your dog is never going to be trustworthy around other dogs. In which case, you can try a different harness/muzzle combo, you can only walk her early and late, or you can try another behaviourist who specialises in socialising dogs with issues. You must feel rotten right now, understandably, so take a step back and reassess in a few days.
I have a Patterdale x rescue and he doesn't like other dogs but fortunately on the whole just ignores them .obviously the first thing is to make sure your dog is secure on a harness ,we use a Doxlock one and its the only one that I don't feel my boy can get out of ( we've tried loads) . Have you thought of walking in a canny collar , they are much more secure than most of the other types of headcollar and give loads of control . It may be worth you looking at the Patterdale rescue site as they have lots of good advice . I'm quite lucky with mine as he has a good recall and is in general an absolute sweety .
Forgot to say my boys weakness is cats and he would knock a herd of cows over if he thought he was going to get at one so I don't think knocking your daughter over is an issue ( apart from for your daughter ) . You are very brave to have taken on a Patterdale they are far from easy ,especially when you get them second hand .
Thanks Chickens, I am having tomorrow off. I have sorted it out with the other owner and they were very kind so I am slightly less upset.
Flora, thanks very much. I had a look on the website it was like reading about my girl. I'll up the training at home we do quite a lot already but I did find she is calmer out when I have knackered her mentally.
I'm willing to give anything a go. She has Baskerville muzzle and a properly fitted harness and anti shock training lead etc. I honestly try so hard with her.
Thanks for being so kind, it's so hard to balance my love for her and lack of progress to thinking about whether I can keep her and other dogs safe
I'm not worried about her and DD, they are always supervised and she has never even slightly responded to her aggressively. Other than the occasional growl if someone leans over her or DD as she wants to protect her.
At least the it doesn't seem like the other owner is going to report you . Have you not got third party insurance which would cover the bill ? If not you really should get some just in case she causes an accident and someone sues you .
You must feel absolutely awful. But it's no life for you, the dog or your dd. Honestly. You will never be able to relax and trust her with other dogs. Do you really want this for another 6/7 years? When you could have a dog that your dd could play with in the park, that you could relax and enjoy?
I'm sorry curlew but you don't get rid of pets just because they have the odd issue you live with them ,because they are part of your family and deal with them as best you can . This dog is not aggressive with people so the OP and her daughter are in no danger ( from info given) . Lots of people have dogs that have to stay on lead for a variety of reasons its not a reason to get rid of them . I feel very sorry for any animal you have ,god help them if they are less than perfect .
BAT is a proven technique that helps reactive dogs, when used appropriately. Progress is possible. Our reactive dog has improved so much I will be taking him to training classes in the autumn, something I'd have thought impossible this time last year.
OP, i think it's worth looking at a number of issues. Firstly, as a matter of urgency, rethink the fitting of your harness and muzzle - it shouldn't be possible for your dog to get out of both while you are out and about. Secondly, ahve a look on the APDT website for a positive behaviourist near you who can help you through this, and work on a training programme for you both. Thirdly, take the pressure off yourself and find a safe off lead play area for regular use. Many of us greyhound owners use them - your local greyhound charity might be able to advise, dog training club, or even an indoor riding school. We found that having this option, even once a fortnight, really helped us - we could simply enjoy watching the hounds zoom about without worrying about passing cats, squirrels etc. - Having that time when you don't have to worry etc. is enormously helpful and keeps your spirits up.
Good luck and best wishes - so pleased you are wanting to do the right thing by this dog.
The OP has spent a year trying to fix this problem, and the dog has badly hurt somebody else's pet. She will never be able to relax and be happy with this dog, and he may hurt other dogs in the future. This is not just a little blip, it's a serious problem which will make everyone unhappy.
The OP has said that she loves the dog and it gives her a lot of pleasure .No one is saying its not serious but its not something that most people would consider getting rid of their pet over , most people would do what the OP is doing and get advice on how to move forward safely .
Anybody who wouldn't consider getting rid of this dog as one possible option would be a fool. How can an owner ever be absolutely sure that something like what happened today would never happen again?
The OP has given this her best efforts and the dog is causing a lot of stress and upset. I don't think she should feel ridden with guilt if she decides she can no longer cope with a dog and try and find a new owner. It does sound an agressive dog that has attacked another dog. What if this keeps happening.
Sadly, Curlew, nobody can guarantee that any dog will behave perfectly during its entire lifetime, no matter how well trained.
Injury, illness and different situations can all make dogs react in ways that are not typical.
To help the OP, which is the reason for posting, a number of us have come up with constructive, positive, tested approaches that will allow the OP to maintain her relationship with her dog without either killing it or dumping it on someone else.

We can't guarantee that any dog will behave perfectly, no. But the OP can pretty much guarantee that if this dog ever gets off his lead,, he will hurt another dog. Rather different.
And I don't think anyone has suggested anything that the OP has not tried over the past year. The OP needs to be reassured that sometimes it's all right to be defeated by an intractable problem. Incredibly sad, but true.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Thank you everyone. It has givens some good for thought.
It is an option I have considered, but I can't put her down/ shift the problem. She's my little girl and it was my fault yesterday happened.
Thanks Scuttle, I have been doing Bat to the letter with her, and she has been so much better until yesterday
I have had a look on t'internet but there isn't anything like your field around here thanks for all your input, felt that I might have had a flaming. I 'm feeling a bit delicate and so sad for my lovely girl. Life could be so much nicer for her
Tempest, quite a lot of secure "play" areas aren't advertised, or only via networks, IYSWIM. Try your closest greyhound charity - they will almost certainly either have one themselves or know of one.
Hope you are feeling better this morning.

A Ugandan lawmaker behind a proposed draconian anti-gay bill that sparked an international outcry said Friday he wanted to drop clauses seeking the death penalty for certain homosexual acts.
"There will be no death penalty at all... that will go," David Bahati, the legislator who formulated the bill, told AFP.
Bahati said he wanted to scrap proposals to punish "aggravated homosexuality," which includes someone deemed to be a "serial offender" with the death sentence.
The MP reintroduced the contentious bill Tuesday after lawmakers ran out of time to debate the measure last year and voted to pass it on to the new session of parliament.
Parliament officials said Thursday that the bill -- which US President Barack Obama has described as "odious" -- had been reintroduced in its original format, which included the death penalty clause.
Bahati, however, said the proposed legislation was already in the process of being changed, following recommendations made during the last parliament.
"The death penalty is not part of the process that we are talking about," Bahati said, adding he was also dropping proposals to jail family members if they failed to report gay relatives to the authorities.
Proposals to jail people who said they were married to someone of the same sex would also be scrapped, he said.
"Those are not part of it," Bahati said.
The bill, as it was originally proposed, would have introduced the death sentence for anyone caught engaging in homosexual acts for the second time, as well as for gay sex where one partner is a minor or has HIV.
Bahati said the bill was now focused on stopping the promotion of gay rights, and retains a proposal to criminalise public discussion of homosexuality with a heavy prison sentence.
Homosexuality is already illegal in Uganda, but the proposed bill has previously attracted heavy criticism for the harsh penalties it proposed.
The bill has been sent to the parliament's legal affair committee, which must then report back to parliament within 45 days.
"I think this time around we will cover good ground on the bill," Bahati said, adding he was hopeful the legislation will be debated.
The bill enjoys widespread backing from Ugandan lawmakers but the government on Wednesday said it did not support the proposed legislation, although it defended parliament's right to discuss it.
"It does not form part of the government's legislative programme and it does not enjoy the support of the prime minister or the cabinet," the government said in the statement.
"However, as Uganda is a constitutional democracy, it is appropriate that if a private member's bill is presented to parliament it be debated."
The reintroduction of the bill sparked strong criticism from rights groups. Amnesty International urged MPs to reject it.
"Even if the death penalty provisions in the original bill have been removed, the other provisions remain inherently discriminatory," said Michelle Kagari, the rights group's Africa programme director.
She added the attempt to further criminalise gay consensual sexual activity was "abhorrent".

Young Widows Day Jobs Are All Ink and Pills
There is a bit of luck involved in being a touring band; there will be times when touring will just not be in the cards — times to write, times to not sleep on floors. And in those times, it's good to be lucky enough to score a job that allows the touring time to take place without getting fired. For Evan Patterson and Nick Thieneman of Young Widows, they've both been returning to the same jobs Louisville, Ky. for almost 10 years.
Patterson's down time from the van and stage is one still very connected to music, managing the T-shirt side of Monkey Drive Screen Printing, which has done work for bands like Norma Jean and the Blood Brothers. "It's exhausting," Patterson told Noisecreep. "I'm over it."
But though the sometimes-tedious work of printing can wear down on a person like any job, it does keep Patterson close to artwork, which has helped him and the rest of the band with imagery for their albums. The straightforward, less busy art is what he's drawn to. "I feel like we're gonna stick with the classic cover," says Patterson. "Keep it real simple and bold. I think it's timeless. There's something about having a bold image on black. It's memorable and keeps you entertained."
Sadly bassist and occasional vocalist Nick Thieneman punches his time card as a pharmacy technician, which he described as "a lot of counting pills and dealing with elderly people that don't like you 'cause you're younger than they are," he lamented laughing with a defeated stare. "I hate it. It's a boring job. There's nothing creative about it." But the job has that key factor of the ability to jump in a van when the time comes. "My boss is very lenient about me leaving and doesn't give a s—, so that's why I've stuck it out there.
"It's a small independent pharmacy," Thieneman explains. "It's pretty country. Whenever I leave and come back, I realize how country it is. My boss looks like Kenny Rodgers, people that work there use words that don't exist and use them regularly."
Since Young Widows inception in 2006, the band has toured months at a time every year. "We tour a lot compared to most bands," Patterson says. But even so, the band that Thieneman and Patterson played in before, Breather Resist, toured unapologetically with little breaks, not caring about the hurt it put on the band. And that was probably a factor in the hardcore outfit breaking up. "[Breather Resist] toured too much," Patterson says. "We toured all the time," Thieneman added with a nod.
"But we were young, excited and didn't give a s— about money or responsibility. At the time, it was like, 'Let's play 200 shows this year. It's no big deal,'" Patterson recalled of his salad days. "Now two, three months seems a lot, and it is a lot for a lot of bands. Most bands won't even do that."

You just copy your web app in webapps folder and you can also deploy using

Hi Eranga

Just give your complete structure of Tomcat and let me know what exactly you are doing and tomcat Version also.
It is not big deal to deploy application in Tomcat.
Seems Sanjeev keen on Tomcat ;)
i am not asking about deploying my application(say sinu-app) in web-apps iam asking about war file(extract from my sinu-app) deploying in my TomcatManager(Options inside my Tomcat)
ok fine Eranga
Ya Eranga......:);)
ya you can deploy your war file also.
If you copy your war file into webapps folder....and start Tomcat ..Does it extract war file into webapps folder....or it gives error message.
If error are coming then post your complete error here.
If i misunderstand your problem then correct me.
C:\apache-tomcat-5.5.26\webapps\sinu-app\WEB-INF\(i keep my classes folder,web.xml in WEB-INF
