Last updated 23 February 2015. Created on 22 April 2011.
Edited by IceCreamYou, HongPong, alexmc. Log in to edit this page.
This is the documentation for the 6.x-3.x branch of the Facebook-style Statuses module, which provides each user with a microblog where they can write what they're doing, how they feel, or anything they want.
This also serves as the official documentation URL for Statuses for Drupal 7. While written for Facebook-style Statuses, most of the same information applies.
One block is provided by default: the Facebook-style Statuses block, which shows a form to create a new status message as well as (optionally) a view of the latest status updates.
Additionally, the default Views provided by the module add several blocks.
- Edit and delete pages are provided for users with permission to edit and delete statuses.
- Conversation pages are generated when users exchange status messages.
- There is a page for each status at
/statuses/SIDwhere SID is the Status ID.
- A page at the URL
/statuses/sharecontains a status update form which can be pre-filled with the "s" parameter in the URL, like
/statuses/share?s=test. Read more about the share-status page here.
- The
/statuses/announcepage allows administrators to broadcast a status message to all users at once.
- Other pages listing status updates are available with the Views module installed.
Module Integration
Facebook-style Statuses integrates with a large number of modules. Many of these modules also integrate with other modules, creating a wide range of possibilities for what you can accomplish with Facebook-style Statuses.
Also check out the modules that extend FBSS.
- Profile
- Users' statuses (and, if allowed, the status update form) appear on their (core) profiles.
- Views
- Views integration allows site administrators to make lists of status updates. Examples include User Status History, Friends' Statuses, or All Status Updates. You can learn more about Views integration here.
- Activity
- Activity integration allows status updates to appear in a Facebook-style "mini-feed" of users' activity on your website. Works with Activity 2.x branch.
- Triggers
- Integration with the (core) trigger module is available so that various actions can be performed when statuses are updated. You may want to use the triggerunlock module to expose status actions to non-status-related triggers.
- Rules
- Integration with the Rules module allows complex, pre-determined actions to occur when a user submits or deletes a status. Rules is basically a more powerful version of the core Trigger module. You can use rules to have FBSS integrate with even more other modules.
- User Relationships and Flag Friend
- If User Relationships is installed, FBSS provides a default view that shows a stream of a user's statuses and that user's friends' statuses. If you use Flag Friend, you can build an equivalent view yourself.
- Flag
- The Flag module allows you to add features like Facebook's "Like" or a "Report" option. A "Like" flag is included by default, as well as a "Follow" flag that allows Twitter-style follow/follower action. Flag also integrates with Views, but there are no default FBSS views that use Flags.
- Taxonomy
- The Facebook-style Statuses Tags submodule allows using #hashtags to categorize posts. Tags are automatically added to a designated vocabulary.
- Integration with the Twitter module allows each individual user to set a Twitter account in their Drupal user account settings that can be used to post their statuses to Twitter. If the individual user has chosen an account to use, a checkbox will appear on the status update form allowing the status to be posted to Twitter.
- Userpoints
- Userpoints awards users points for doing certain actions on a site. These points can be used like money in E-Commerce or just for fun (for example, to show rankings). With FBSS, users can earn points for posting statuses.
- Services
- Integration with the Services module allows third-party apps to securely create/read/update/delete statuses on your site.
- Notifications
- Integration with the Notifications framework lets users receive notifications via email (or other methods) about new status updates and comments.
- Pathauto
- Pathauto automatically aliases pages on your website as soon as they are created. This allows you to provide alternative URLs for individual status pages.
- Context
- If the Context module is installed, it can be used to let administrators specify who the recipient of a status update should be on any given page instead of the default auto-detection.
- Author Pane
- The Author Pane module provides block/theme functions that developers can use to display information about a user. This allows you to add users' statuses to the author pane on forum posts built by the Advanced Forum module, among other things.
- Input Filters
- You can choose an input format to run on statuses when they are displayed. This allows integration with modules like wordfilter, inline, or smileys.
- Modal Frame
- The Modal Frame module allows links to be opened in modal dialogs so that the whole page doesn't have to be refreshed. FBSS allows the edit and delete links for statuses to be handled in this way; submitting the form will refresh the page with AJAX for a smooth experience for your users.
- Views Bulk Operations
- The Views Bulk Operations module allows executing processes upon multiple statuses at a time, using the Views module as its interface and Rule Sets for the processes. For example, you could use VBO to set up a page that would allow you to delete several statuses at once.
- CTools/Panels
- FBSS provides a CTools content type that allows placing users' streams (including the status update form) into a Panel. Panels and CTools facilitate building complex layouts without writing any code.
- SMS Framework
- Integration with the SMS Framework module allows users to send texts to your site beginning with "s: " which will be saved as statuses.
- Devel
- The Devel module provides several useful utilities to website developers. Integration with Devel (specifically, the Devel Generate sub-module) allows rapid creation or deletion of large numbers of random statuses for effective testing.
- Heartbeat
- Like the Activity module, Heartbeat provides a stream of users' recent activity on your site, including status postings.
- Mollom
- The Mollom module is designed to stop spam on your site with minimal work by administrators. Integration with Mollom can help stop spam status updates.
- Domain Access
- The Facebook-style Statuses Domain Access submodule allows you to only display status updates that were created on certain domains controlled by the Domain Access module.
- Mentions
- The Mentions module provides an alternative to the #hashtag and @mention functionality provided by the Facebook-style Statuses Tags submodule. It works by using an input filter, which means it can be used on nodes and comments as well as statuses.
- Shorten URLs
- If the Shorten URLs module is enabled along with Twitter integration and a status is too long to post to Twitter, the Shorten URLs module will be used to generate a link to the status update, and that link will be posted to Twitter along with the abbreviated status.
- Quant
- The Quant module provides a chart plotting the number of statuses shared over time.
- Timeago
- The Timeago module turns the date statuses and status comments were created into dynamically updating "time ago" timestamps with graceful degradation.
- ImageCache Profiles
- FBSS can use ImageCache Profiles to display users' pictures at arbitrary sizes next to status updates or status comments.
A note about the 7.x-1.x branch (Statuses)
The Drupal 7 version of FBSS now lives at the Statuses project. Separate documentation will eventually be written for it, but if you're working with D7 you can use this documentation for now because the 7.x-1.x branch of Statuses is a straight port of the 6.x-3.x branch of FBSS.
There is one major difference to note for developers: functions that previously began with "facebook_status_" now begin with "statuses_". There are also some changes to the Drupal 7 theming system that change the way you should call and override theme functions, though these are otherwise the same.
Additionally, a few of the integrations with other modules are no longer available in Drupal 7 because the integrated modules no longer exist or are not supported. Integration with the Features module was added, allowing context settings to be imported and exported.

The dissolution of TomKat's marriage is old news by now, but you can't help but wonder about all the waving neon flags that Cruise managed to miss. I mean, talk about getting blind-sided -- and all so publicly.
Alas, Tom Cruise isn't the first to have been duped. Remember the late, brilliant Nora Ephron's Heartburn? Nora chose to ignore some blaring bullhorns in that saga. Of course, that heartbreak manifested into a hugely successful smash, but a broken heart is a broken heart. I'm not telling you to be a paranoid nut... but pay attention... and don't settle for anybody's crumbs.
Now, for our top ON FIRE red flags while you are still in a relationship... drum roll please...
Red Flag #1: You're Not Getting Any
Is your man more passionate in the kitchen cooking then he is in the sack? Is he squeamish about your lustiness, fondness for leather panties and the occasional spanking? No discussion here. Get the hell out. It's not gonna get any better.
I had a real mess of a boyfriend who explained to me that he liked me too much to have sex with me. He could do whores, just not women he liked. Oy....
Red Flag #2: He's a Cheat.
An obvious one, you'd think... but the most spectacular women in the world have put up with cheats, porn freaks and their "sex addictions." Tiger Woods, Jesse James, Peter Cook, Russell Brand... Let's leave this humiliating drama to our college years and avoid compulsive damaged dudes, shall we?
Red Flag #3: He Disses his Ex...
...And blames her for his emotionally frozen take on the world. "Baggage" from his past will keep you begging for the "L" word, compliments and just plain ole love and respect. Run for the hill, ladies. This doozie needs to do some deep inner work -- and will only leave you dining on a plate of empty fare.
Red Flag #4: He's Stingy
If he's cheap in life, he's not gonna be lavish in other areas, like birthdays or in the sack. You need a generous lover... in every way. No more pedometers for Christmas or going dutch over birthday din dins. Scrooge was fabricated by Dickens -- they don't reform in real life. And stingy is the OPPOSITE of where your life needs to be going: the land of YES and abundance.
Red Flag #5: He's working a whole lot of overtime
Let's face it, Jennifer Aniston should have known better. We woulda had a nice long chat with the agent who put Brad in the same movie with Angie in the first place. Some history lessons: The ultimate femme, Marilyn Monroe, steals Yves Montand right from under the very fabulous Simone Signoret s nose; Liz and Dick's famous fling on the set of Cleopatra and the obvious chemistry that was bouncing off the walls between Jessa, our blonde bombshell in GIRLS, and the Dad she was baby-sitting for. Jenna needed to be removed from the scene of the future crime PRONTO. Sometimes you gotta make like a dog and pee all over your territory.
Red Flag #6: You're lonelier now, as half of a couple, than you were when you were on your own.
This is not good. And I've been there. Is the the theme of your daily journal for the last year: "I really have to get out of this relationship?" Listen to the little voice that speaks to you when you lay your head down on that pillow at night. You know what you have to do. Do it!
Red Flag #7: When the glistening bottle of booze means more to him then... well, how's anything?
Nobody loves a dry extra chilled vodka martini -- slightly dirty -- better then I do. But having a relationship with an addict is a no-brainer. I am NOT talking about reformed addicts. I have nothing but respect for them. I'm talkin' bad behavior fueled by booze -- when you're just plain ole stinkin' mean to each other... and then, ta dah, you become a nag. Nobody wins. Too much booze, drugs or too much food: All numbing. You are not going to change him. Repeat after me: you are not going to change him and you will only continue to feel bad. GET OUT!
Red Flag #8: When you're fantasizing about his funeral...
I remember like it was yesterday: taking long steamy showers and imagining my intended not returning from a looooong adventure he was going to take (solo) in a threatening part of the globe and how very adorable I'd be as a merry widow à la Scarlett O'Hara. I stayed with the poor man another year... I'm not proud of that...
Red Flag #9: All other men begin to look H O T
Noticing all things male in a way you never did during your "happy" years...
Redflag #10: Overly critical
Is every little thing you do wrong? Like how you chop your onions or organize your closets? Get out, before you have absolutely no confidence left. Diane Keaton talked about this beautifully in her memoir, Then Again, about Warren Beatty: "There wasn't a woman within close proximity he didn't scrutinize -- except me. He didn't scrutinize me -- not then." It's hard to dump a Warren Beatty when he was peaking... but a scrutinizer is a soul killer.
Red Flag #11
You're not invited to go out with his pals, attend family gatherings or go to his favorite niece's weddings. Run.
Redflag: #12
He hates your family, your pets and your kids. Bye-bye!
Red Flag #13: Is that a man-child you are with?
Are you tired of always driving the bus? Are you over always paying the way and being "mommy"? There's a lot of man-childs in the world right now and we're getting tired of the watery-eyed woosies. We want a man who will make some decisions (not all) and is curious about the world. As Julie Klausner noted in her brilliant book I Don't Care about Your Band, NO WONDER Don Draper makes us all go bananas! Yes, he is a MASS of red flags -- but he is an honest-to-god MAN! Might be worth it for a night, or a week or a...
Maryjane Fahey is the co-author of DUMPED, a breakup bible for women to get off their asses and over their exes in record time. Fall 2012. Find, tweet, facebook, whatever them.. they're very friendly...

So there is a back story for this shoot. I decided to take a weekend off to mt bike an incredible trail in Bryce canyon UT, but couldn't say no to a shoot when Heather from SLC said she'd drive down to meet me in Saint George on my way home. I'll be honest, after a 2 days of mt biking bliss and camping, i was completely drained. Heather and Bryce had this crazy idea of getting shots during the moon set and sunrise at 6:00 AM. I had NO good ideas on where to meet them. Google maps was failing me, hotel internet wasn't working and no local photogs would answer their phones – I had to get some sleep. After a short phone call with Bryce we decided to meet up half way to Zion where there was a river in hopes of something green (Heather likes living nature, not so much st George :). By 1 AM i passed out , certain that I would have the wost shoot all year and no real idea of where we would shoot. I even told my my buddy Kael that I usually just get lucky and it all works out, but not this time. I wanted to call the whole thing off. We woke up at 4:30 am and hit the road. About 40 minutes into our drive he spotted a lookout sign and we knew we had hit something with potential. Yes, from down the long dirt road we could see the moon set, and there were fields. It was perfect… except for the 20 MPH gusts of wind and 50 degree temperature. With 15 minutes till moon set, there was no turning back now…. Cross your fingers, hope the client is cool and make some magic!
The road to the lookout – and my stick of cheese breakfast.
"Nice to meet you guys! Are you sure you want to sacrifice your awesomely perfect hair? " They met on a rock climbing date – she wasn't a rock climber, but now she is. They were just oozing love for each other.
Heather could only face one direction… into the wind. Man that hair looks cool, "Are you sure these are looking OK?" She asked? Maybe Brycen can hold your hair? We'd shoot for 5 minutes and then let them warm up in the car… Seriously you have to be a little tough to shoot with burnt exposure. These two were up for anything. I love that.
AHHHH the sunrise was simply Glorious! I'll spare you the 100 shots we took in that warm morning splendor.
It was time to get out of the wind – let's go to the river – SUCH a beautiful Sunrise – so worth the pain and stress just to witness the grande feeling of this location.
And yes that is a bandana I'm wearing.
Kael (you may know from the popular indie band Faded Paper Figures – http://www.fadedpaperfigures.com which conveniently happens to be one of my favorite bands) did an awesome job bouncing light, shot ideas and moral support. Couldn't have done this without him.
Took some video footage of this that may end up in FPF's next music video…
Couldn't ask for a better looking couple! – Love those eyes!
I love how Brycen decided to hold the flowers… he's a real deal man. Thanks for putting up with my ridiculous poses.
My favorite image of the morning i think.
What a FUN shoot you guys! Thank you so much for getting me up at the butt crack of dawn to make such a great memory.

#8522 closed enhancement (Fixed)
Include only half the blank frames between commercial breaks
|Reported by:
|Jim Stichnoth <stichnot@…>
|Owned by:
|MythTV - Mythcommflag
|Ticket locked:
When the commercial skiplist is created, I prefer to include a blank interval between program sections (CommSkipAllBlanks?=0). Sometimes, though, a small piece of the commercial break gets included. A pretty good compromise is to include half of the blank interval. This patch adds that as a CommSkipAllBlanks? option.
Note: The patch addresses all places where the skiplist is adjusted according to the blank sections, but I have only tested the portion in BuildAllMethodsCommList?().

Updated with v3 patch. Following the discussion on the dev list, this version removes the CommSkipAllBlanks? setting altogether, and always includes half the blank interval in the non-commercial segment, up to a maximum of MAX_BLANK_FRAMES frames (arbitrarily defined to be 60).
comment:4 Changed 7 years ago by mdean
- Resolution set to Fixed
- Status changed from assigned to closed
(In [27389]) Show half the blank frames before and after the commercial break.
This allows MythTV to better handle those shows with trailing/leading audio that extends into blank frames. Thanks to Jim S. for this patch, which simplifies configuration and gives a more sensible behavior than either of the previously-selectable behaviors.
Only new recordings/newly-commercial-flagged recordings will be affected by this change.
Closes #8522 by applying patch from Jim S.

Record-Breaking Vinyl Art
Since the news that Technics will discontinue production of the SL-1200, many DJs have wondered if that'll spell the ultimate doom for vinyl.
Not so.
DJ Dolo started spinning when he was 18, when his father bought him his first pair of turntables. "I injured my leg, which prevented me from DJing, so I got shitty and started smashing up my records in the basement," he told us. "A couple of months later, I calmed down, went back into the basement and began making the art you see out of smashed and broken records."
Dolo's real name is Lobyn Hamilton. Check out his website here.
His work can also be seen in Chicago's Gallery Guichard. You can go to their website and check out my work there as well.
Dolo also has a solo art show from January 26th to February 25 @ the Arts Garden in downtown Indianapolis, IN.

With all the injuries to the 2009 Mets reminding me of the 1987 Mets, and with the St. Louis Cardinals in town for a big four game series, it got me thinking about the great Met-Cardinals rivalry of the mid 1980's.
To borrow a line from Keith Hernandez "You kids out there who are new to the game" may not realize that once upon at time, the Mets and Cardinals played together in the Eastern Division of the National League.
Of course old time fans remember when the Mets and Cards used to share a spring training facility at Al Lang Park in St. Petersburg. In the middle 1980's, 1985, 1986 and 1987 in particular you couldn't find a better rivalry.
Whitey Herzog's 1985 Cardinals edged the Mets out for the NL East flag by three games. There was something about the way the 1985 season ended that just made me feel 1986 was going to be a special year for the Mets.
In 1987 the Cards edged the Mets by 3 games again to win the NL East flag . But oh how those Cardinal teams would make me (or most Met fans), crazy. Those were the speed demon Cardinal teams. The teams of Vince Coleman, Willie McGee, Terry Pendleton and of course Ozzie Smith. At the time it seemed the the Met pitchers never held the Cardinal base runners close, and that Gary Carter couldn't throw anyone out. Those were just such huge games back then. Like the Philly games have been for the last few years.
In 2006 it was only fitting for the NL crown to come down to the old NL East rivals. Too bad it didn't work out for the Mets. But I will always think of the Cardinals as one of the Mets most bitter rivals.

When a band group or any musician plans a tour, they usually make a budget which will run the whole tour and allocate the finances. The more the programs avoid any extra costs, the better. When the string cheese incident tour dates were released, the organizing manager also confirmed that everything would run smooth as the financing of all the expenses had been done. So, if you are wondering what these expenses are, then this article is for you.
Various costs incurred during a music tour
Venue hire
For a music show or gig to happen, there must be a convenient venue both in location and capacity. The coordinating team must anticipate well on the number of fans to show up. This can be done through the number of tickets sold or the previous shows help in the same area. The venue can either be an open ground or an amphitheater. Fans like a venue with security and convenience in accessibility. The cost is usually incurred by the show organizers which includes the main performers.
Transport logistics
For any music show to succeed transport is one of the key consideration. It includes various modes like the air, train, road or even water transport. All these modes require money since most of the vehicles hired. Vans and buses can conveniently do the hotel transfers or the ferrying of music equipment to the venue. Sometimes the performers may need a grand arrival through limos which is costly in the real sense. The tour can save more money if they book air tickets early, hire vehicles from the best dealers or use their vehicles where possible.
Without proper marketing, the turnout of the fan could be unbelievably low. Majority buy the tickets once they know about the show and have a glimpse of what to expect. All this requires money to run and consequently get high revenues and profits. Using a digital marketer may be costly, but this is what every show needs if it must succeed its mission. Other costs related to marketing includes processing online tickets, updating social media pages and digital ads.
Personal expenses
Hotel accommodation, food, clothes and other personal expenses add to the budget. They are unavoidable when doing a music tour since people's lives demands them. However, the users can be limited to the specific amount which is adequate to provide all the basic needs. When planning for this, it is crucial that the organizer's research for cheaper hotels of the same class they want and also brief the user on the limit of the allowance.…

Went to see Vampire Weekend last week at The Wiltern! Their Paul Simon sounding music and preppy New England style brought energy to the crowd and a smile upon my face!
My girlfriends joked that I looked like their rock n' roll boyfriend in my Miller Light t-shirt and holed up jeans but really all I cared about was wearing the oxford patents.

Calling for greater forwarder-carrier cooperation to meet the increasingly complex needs of the shipper, Chris Coppersmith, President & CEO at Target Logistic Services, stated, "Our relationship is critically important in serving both the customer and assuring our mutual success."
Speaking at the Trans-Pacific Air Cargo Conference held in Los Angeles, Coppersmith declared, "Every participant—forwarder, airline and shipper—in the supply chain is under competitive pressure as never before."
"The shipper is under extreme competitive pressure to supply goods to his customers in a timely manner. The airline must meet its flight schedules despite schedule changes, weather and service restrictions.
The forwarder must ensure faster availability at destination, greater visibility in the transportation process and be given incentives to communicate electronically with the carrier for more rapid and efficient coordination of the shipment," said Coppersmith.
In addressing the attendees at the Conference consisting of shippers, airline executives, freight forwarders, investment bankers, institutional investors and logistics consultants, the Target executive stressed the forwarder-carrier relationship. "It is even more critical in Asia-US trade, particularly China, the fastest growing segment and now perhaps the most important of our nation's trading partners.
"Forwarders no longer have the luxury of an arm's length relationship with the airlines," averred Coppersmith. "Our customers will not allow it. They are demanding accurate delivery and cost information more rapidly than ever before. With customers' own manufacturing and distribution cycles seemingly shorter each year, they are demanding more frequent deliveries and delivery perfection.
Forwarders must meet these ever increasingly stringent demands which require greater cooperation with the airlines. No longer do we have the luxury of an arm's length relationship with the carriers as perhaps occurred in the past. Cooperation, not confrontation is the operating principle," emphasized Coppersmith.
He stressed that a tighter relationship between forwarder and carriers "leads to greater flexibility on the part of both parties. This high degree of cooperation allows greater tolerance in surmounting the difficulties inherent in delivery of all kinds, sizes and types of cargo across 10,000 miles of ocean in as little as 48 hours."
Coppersmith cited another reason for the necessity in drawing together of carrier and forwarder; one not often discussed publicly in transportation circles.
"Moving freight is an inexact science, or what I like to call the Big Gamble," stated Coppersmith. "The shipper may commit 100 tons of cargo, then finds due to unexpected demand, he suddenly requires shipments of an additional 100 tons. The airline may promise space on the next flight out, but finds the flight is full with heavy amounts of passenger baggage, making it impossible to honor all of its cargo commitments on that airplane. The forwarder has been promised a certain amount of cargo by the customer; commits space to the airline and then is told at the last minute the shipment has been canceled. Thus, tolerance and trust between airline and forwarder rather than finger pointing becomes the key issue," he noted.
Coppersmith concluded his remarks with the comment that airline and forwarder "will benefit from a closer relationship, and will depend on this relationship to succeed.

Naciye from Shami Media Group on Vimeo.
In "Naciye," a pregnant couple travels for the weekend to check on the house they rented on a whim for the remainder of the pregnancy. On their first night at the secluded home they encounter the dangerous woman who claims to be its rightful owner.
Award-winning Turkish actress Derya Alabora ("Innocence," "When We Leave," "A Most Wanted Man") stars as the title character "Naciye" (pronounced Na-djee-a) in Lütfü Emre Çiçek's feature directorial debut "Naciye." It also stars Esin Harvey and Gorkem Mertsoz. The film was written/directed and edited by Çiçek.
The film is currently available for digital download and VOD through AmazonVideo and Vimeo OnDemand, and will be released on DVD April 11, 2017.

Scottsdale Sgt. Mark Clark told the Arizona Republic that a 12-person Ford transport van collided with a Kia Sedan near the organization's minor league facility at Indian School Park.
The five players sent to the hospital were Bryce Bandilla, Adalberto Mejia, Dan Slania, Jeff Soptic and Kelby Tomlinson. All five players were treated for minor injuries and will be monitored over the next 24 hours, the Giants said.
"Everyone is okay from this morning! Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts," Bandilla tweeted.
Many of the organization's top prospects had just arrived in Scottsdale for a conditioning camp. The players are typically shuttled back and forth in large vans similar to the one used Tuesday morning.
The crash was the second major accident involving Giants prospects this offseason. Gustavo Cabrera, a 17-year-old outfielder, nearly lost his right hand in late October when he slipped and put his hand through a plate of glass. Cabrera is thought to be facing more than a year of rehab.

This UNC squad is quirky as all get out. They suffer embarrassing losses to Belmont and UAB. But they turn around and beat then-No. 3 Louisville and last night they march right into Izzo Country and hand deliver the fade to the No. 1 team in America, Michigan State.
In even more impressive fashion, Carolina led from wire-to-wire and employed a critical 12-1 run in the second half helping put the game out of reach for good. The star of the night for UNC was freshman Kennedy Meeks who provided 15 points and seven rebounds off the bench to go along with J.P. Tokoto's 12 points and 10 boards.
For Michigan State, it all centered around not being able to knock down shots. Keith Appling and Gary Harris both shot 5-15 from the field with the team as a whole shooting a paltry 35.9%. The loss ends nearly an 11-year run for Michigan State in dominance over unranked non-conference teams. The last defeat came at the hands of Toledo on December 30, 2002.
And here's an impressive stat to toss out at the bar this weekend. With last night's dub, Roy Williams improved to 7-0 against Tom Izzo at North Carolina; a record which includes the 2009 national championship. Expect Arizona to claim the country's top ranking with Kentucky at No. 2 and C.J. Fair, Tyler Ennis and Syracuse rounding at the top three.

Unix Commands are Case Sensitive
When interacting with the Unix operating system, one of the first things you need to know is that, unlike other computer systems you may be accustomed to, everything in Unix is case-sensitive. Be careful when you're typing in commands - whether a character is upper or lower case does make a difference. For instance, if you want to list your files with the `ls' command, if you enter LS you will be told "command not found."
Worse than the system not finding the command is the possibility that you will cause a function to be performed that you didn't want to happen.
For example, in the `vi' editor, `j' means to move down one line and `J' means to join two lines together. If you should leave "caps lock" on by accident and then start pressing the `j' key to move the cursor down through the text, you will find all the lines jumping up to join the previous lines.
This is simply a word to the wise to keep the case of characters in mind while working in Unix.

Charities Beyond Belief Give Help Without Harassment
Back in 2008, when Barack Obama announced plans to expand George W. Bush's unconstitutional White House Office of Faith-Based Initiatives, through which churches are encouraged to take participate in electoral politics in the hopes that they'll gain kickbacks of government grants, there were promises of reform. Those promises have not been kept. Obama has simply made the kickback program bigger, without reform. Government-funded religious programs still use taxpayer money to push particular religious beliefs on vulnerable people, and the programs still use public money to discriminate against employees.
There are those who say that Obama has no choice, that he has to give federal assistance to religious organizations in order to help people. However, that's simply not the case. There are huge numbers of charitable organizations that don't have any religious mission at all – and there are also plenty of government programs that work without any faith-based element to them.
There also exist charities run by non-theists who, believing in no supernatural source of redemption, are eager to make the world a better place through their own work and financial resources. These include, but aren't limited to:
Foundation Beyond Belief
Humanist Charities
Atheists Helping the Homeless
Atheist Relief Fund
International Humanist Ethical Union

exoerythrocytic stage
Definition: developmental stage of the malaria parasite (Plasmodium) in liver parenchyma cells of the vertebrate host before erythrocytes are invaded. The initial generation produces cryptozoites, the next generation metacryptozoites; reinfection of liver cells from blood cells apparently does not occur. Delayed development of the sporozoite (hypnozoite) of Plasmodium vivax and P. ovale appears to be responsible for malarial relapse that may occur with these disease agents.

You can improve the level of your tennis play with the solid instruction offered at a tennis camp. Camp does not require the full-time commitment of a tennis school or tennis academy, but it can still be extremely beneficial. College women's tennis camps are a good choice, but there are also plenty of respectable private tennis camps that aren't affiliated with colleges.
Tennis, similar to golf, is a sport that also offers intense, long-term instruction. At a tennis academy, like the well-known Nick Bollettieri IMG Academy, girl's tennis players go to school full time, and work on tennis every day. The intense immersion in the sport can help you make great improvements in your game, but that kind of high school experience isn't for everybody.
What Are the Benefits of Women's Tennis Camp?
Attending a camp or tennis clinic can be a big help during the tennis recruiting process. Camp can help a high school girl's tennis player in many ways.
- College women's tennis coaches and former or current college women's tennis players are great teachers to have when trying to improve your skills.
- College tennis camps provide some exposure to college women's tennis programs, but it's important for recruits to realize that the chances of being "discovered" at a camp are very slim. However, coaches who are already familiar with you get a chance to evaluate your game more closely at tennis camp.
- Women's tennis camp can show how you compare to other high school girl's tennis players, and it can let you know you what tennis skills you might need to work on the most.
- A college tennis camp can give you glimpse into the college experience. You get a chance to live in college dorms, check out a school's athletic facilities and experience aspects of campus life that might make it easier to choose a school when the recruiting process is over.
Choosing a Women's Tennis Camp
Do your research when picking a women's tennis camp, and decide if your goal is to work on technique, or to gain exposure.
If you're reason for going to camp is to improve your technique, learn as much as you can about the coaching and camp staff. What's their level of experience? Do they have a strong history of producing talented women's tennis players? Ask about the level of quality from someone who's been to the camp before.
If you're hoping to gain exposure, it's a good idea to go to women's tennis camp at a college that's recruiting you. Women's tennis coaches don't really spend much time scouting at camps, so go to camp at a college where they already know who you are. Find out which coaches will be there, contact them, and let them know you're coming.

Arrests in Chicago in alleged fake ID ring
by UPI
CHICAGO - U.S. prosecutors charged 22 people in Chicago with allegedly selling fake identity papers to thousands of illegal aliens.
An indictment unsealed Wednesday said the Chicago branch of a Mexican crime family had sold thousands of fake identification papers annually since 2003, netting $2 million to $3 million per year, USA Today reported.
As many as 20 illegal immigrants at a time were sold phony driver's licenses, green cards and Social Security numbers in a Chicago mall parking lot for $200 to $300 a set, court papers said, USA Today reported.
Critics accused federal officials of timing the action to discourage people from participating in an immigration-reform rally next week.
"I can assure everyone that the arrests had nothing to do with the rally that's upcoming," U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. "There is a great debate going on in our country about the immigration situation. This case is not about that debate."
Agents arrested 12 people named in the indictment on Tuesday and were looking for 10 others, four of whom were believed to be in Mexico.
The indictment also accused them of smuggling people into the United States, USA Today reported.

I agree with all of Tim's comments below. In particular, having a "version-tree" report also report on the properties of the version-controlled resource does not make sense to me, since the version-controlled resource is not part of the version tree.

Windows Phone not selling? Who cares – Android makes more money for Microsoft
May 27, 2011 | by Andrew Kameka
Android News
Microsoft may not have a runaway success in Windows Phone 7, but don't think the company is too worried at the moment. Aside from a major "Mango" update that might make Windows Phone 7 more appealing, Microsoft can rely on the steady stream of money that it makes from Android products.
Asymco estimates that Microsoft makes five times as much money from Android sales than it earns from sales of Windows Phone 7. That's because Microsoft pressured HTC into paying a $5 per device licensing fee based on alleged patent violations in Android. Since HTC has sold an estimated 30 million phones since the deal was reached, the $5 fee translates to $150 million. That's a great deal more than the estimated $30 million Microsoft has so far made licensing Windows Phone (2 million phones at $15 per device).
While this is just an estimate and cannot be taken as fact, it's a reminder of why Microsoft is going after practically any company that produces Android products. Microsoft alleges that there are patent infringements at the core of Android, so everyone releasing an Android phone, tablet, reader, or other device must pay a licensing fee ranging from $7 to $12 per device sold. Microsoft has been in negotiation with multiple device makers and has already filed suit against Barnes & Noble and Motorola.
Microsoft would surely prefer to have Windows Phone 7 be more successful, but the company will have to settle for revenues produced by Android's popularity for now. Hey, Microsoft could use some more cash after paying $8.5 billion to acquire Skype earlier this month.

Nairobi National Park is a haven for rhinos some of which are reintroduced into other habitats, thus making it quite easy for visitors to see the animals in their natural habitat. Apart from rhinos, visitors can also sight lions, buffaloes, leopards and cheetahs - all of the Big Five but the elephant and numerous herbivores including the Maasai giraffe and Burchell's zebra. After a sumptuous lunch at the Carnivore (so called for the wide array of meat it provides), visitors proceed to the Bomas of Kenya for traditional music and dance. Visitors then enjoy an evening back in the City.

Young people from Hackney showcased new skills this week (31st Jan), at an event launching a London Fire Brigade youth initiative: 'Young Firefighters'
The scheme is being piloted in two London boroughs and allows young people to develop citizenship, leadership and life skills, whilst learning about the work of a London firefighter.
Young people from the boroughs of Hackney and Bexley are the first to take part in the scheme which is open to 13-18 year olds, and involves weekly evening sessions at a fire station. If the schemes are a success they will be rolled out across the capital.
Young Firefighters was set up to strengthen links between the Brigade and the communities it serves and gives participants the opportunity to learn about fire safety, firefighting skills, take part in outdoor activities, develop teamwork and problem solving skills and carry out projects that benefit the community.
It's the latest youth engagement programme to be introduced by the Brigade. Others include LiFE, Juvenile Firesetters Intervention Scheme, the Princes' Trust and the Brigade's Schools Team*.
Sir Ken Knight, London's Fire Commissioner, speaking at the event said: "I'm proud of the work London Fire Brigade does with young people and we've had some fantastic success stories since our programme of youth engagement was introduced. Youth engagement programmes really can make London a safer city. Young people are great advocates for our messages and can spread the word about the importance of fire safety. We also know that young people talk to their peers, and when we pass on stories about the frustrations of hoax calls, deliberate fires or road traffic collisions – this information will get out into the community and make a real impact."
Mark Eley, Young Firefighters lead trainer for Hackney said: "I've been so impressed with the young people so far and they've quickly learned to work as a team and support each other. Some real leaders have come forward too. I get a lot of satisfaction when the young people tell me that, as a result of the course, they are thinking about joining the Brigade in future."
Opal, aged 14, one of the course participants said: "You get to interact with new people and make new friends. It's hard work and challenging but I enjoy it. It's good to get out and do something active on a Wednesday night, instead of just standing around the streets"
Note to editors:
The two pilot Young Firefighter groups are based at Shoreditch Fire Station in Hackney and Erith Fire Station in Bexley.
Courses run every Wednesday evening and participants can take part for as long as they wish up to age 18.
A similar launch event for the Bexley course will take place on 28th February.
*Other London Fire Brigade youth engagement programmes include:
- LiFE – a 5 day course for young people who have offended, are at risk of offending or those that have been victims of crime.
- Juvenile Firesetters Intervention Scheme –advisors work with young people who have carried out fireplay or firesetting behaviour.
- Schools Team – advisors who visit schools to talk to classes about fire safety and the dangers of fire.
- The Princes' Trust

Breast reconstruction
Sorry about yoru dilemma. More information would need to be gathered regarding why they became infected, but you may want to consider alternatives such as autologous tissue( using your own tissue).
New York Plastic Surgeon
Breast Reconstruction
Need to consider other breast reconstruction options
Your situation requires more information. Did you have radiation to the breast as well. If plan A fails it is best not to do plan A again. It is possible that some other type of breast reconstruction would be your best option. Your plastic surgeon is in the best position to understand your medical condition and to help you make a good decision about moving forward. Wish you the best of luck.
Atlanta Plastic Surgeon
Failed tissue expander reconstruction
The fact you have had two failed attempts at reconstruction certainly raises some concerns but you still have some options. Bringing in some fresh tissue from your back (latissimus dorsi skin/muscle flap) may improve your chances for a successful outcome, the trade off being a scar on your back. Get at least two opinions from experienced breast surgeons! Good luck!

Had 2 attempts, 5 mos apart at tissue expanders with AlloDerm, both failed due to infection. What are my chances w/ future surg
There are many options to breast reconstruction including implant-based and flap-based procedures. The complication rate with implants following radiation is reported as high as 60-70% in some studies. Flap reconstruction is usually recommended, but there are several centers who perform implants following radiation with great success and results. I typically prefer flaps, such as the DIEP flap. Other flaps are the conventional TRAM, latissimus flap, SGAP/IGAP, and, TUG. Although you can try expander reconstruction again, it comes with the same risks. You may consider a flap procedure.
You are a candidate for other procedures, if you are willing to continue with your journey for a reconstructed breast. Flaps such as those above, including others, are available. The decision to continue with this will be your decision and what you are willing to go through. There are risks and benefits with everything that we do in Surgery - discuss the various options with a board certified plastic surgeon who will educate you on all of the options and help you to decided if breast reconstruction or which procedure will be best for you. Hope that this helps and best wishes!
Scottsdale Plastic Surgeon
Infection with tissue expanders and Alloderm
Thank you for your questions. Yes, tissue expanders and Alloderm can be associated with a known infection rate. If you have failed the same plan twice, then make sure the next plan is not just like the first two. I cannot give you specific recommendations without having seen you or examined you but return to your doctor to see if you are a candidate for any other type of reconstruction such as the use of your own tissue. To be sure that your know all of your options, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery. I hope this helps.

To discuss all the options you have we need a thorough consultation and review of all your previous medical records. Whether you had radiation or not?

Relentless Celtics romp
The shots kept falling, the lead kept growing, and if it were a boxing match the Celtics would have won on all three judges' cards by that point, but the Raptors came out for the fourth quarter punch-drunk but still swinging.
After being in a 26-point hole, Linas Kleiza drilled a 3-pointer that cut Toronto's deficit to 14 with 11:27 left, and the Celtics needed a big shot to make sure nothing wild happened in the final quarter.
Rajon Rondo took a pass from Semih Erden and pulled up from 25 feet, drilling a 3-pointer that all but sent the Raptors back to their corner in a daze, swallowing a 122-102 loss that wrapped up the season series.
"That was a dangerous part of the game,'' said Celtics coach Doc Rivers. "I thought Rondo's three, crazy as it sounds, may have been the biggest shot of the game. The shot clock was winding down, we were going through our little lull, and he makes a three to bring it back to 17. I thought that was a big push for us.''
It was the kind of night when the Celtics could have gotten offense from anyone on the floor.
The usual suspects were typically effective. Paul Pierce silently struck for 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting. Ray Allen needed just eight shots to score 17 points.
But the Celtics had six players in double figures, shot 57.5 percent, racked up 31 assists, and put on an offensive clinic in winning their fourth straight game and notching the 3,000th regular-season victory in franchise history.
Nate Robinson scored 15 points off the bench. Glen Davis (14) and Shaquille O'Neal (12) both went for double figures. But one thing Raptors coach Jay Triano didn't bank on when game-planning was rookie Luke Harangody blowing up for 17 points and 11 rebounds, his first career double-double.
Harangody scored 8 points in four minutes in the first quarter. His quick flurry helped the Celtics build a 34-22 lead at the end of the quarter, and from there it snowballed.
"He's been down a lot the last couple games, he feels like he hasn't been making shots,'' said Davis. "But everybody's been pushing him to get in the gym and get extra shots and he's been awesome today.''
After Kevin Garnett went down with a strained right calf last week in Detroit, the Celtics were supposed to be in survival mode. Instead, they've feasted with a plug-and-go lineup.
For the fifth time in seven games, the Celtics shot better than 50 percent. Coming off a 22-assist game against San Antonio, Rondo had just seven assists, but the offense purrs when he's on the floor.
"The good thing about us is we're very unselfish,'' said O'Neal. "Ray and Paul have been shooting the ball well, and Rondo's the type that he knows who to get the ball to and when to get it to them, so with him back there, everything is starting to click again.''
On the opposite side, Toronto's defense has been a disaster all season.
They're dead last in field goal defense, and in the bottom third in scoring defense and 3-point field goal defense. Boston was the last stop on a three-game road swing, and the Raptors were running on empty.
The Celtics' 67 first-half points weren't even the most the Raptors have allowed this season (Denver ransacked them for 74 first-half points Dec. 10), but Boston's final shooting percentage was the best against Toronto this season.
After playing the Celtics six times since October (including twice in the preseason) and twice this week, the Raptors left TD Garden feeling overmatched. The Raptors shot 50 percent and still lost, dropping their fourth straight game and seventh of their past eight.
"It's tough because veterans like that have been through every type of basketball game since they've been in the league,'' said DeMar DeRozan. "They know how to get through adversity and we've just got to keep battling with them.''

For local favorites WANK, "1998 was a whirlwind," recalls Bobby Amodeo. That year, the group went from playing ska-infused pop punk at local barrooms such as Linda's Doll Hut to full-fledged rock stardom. They signed to Madonna's Maverick Records, had KROQ and radio stations across the country spinning their single "Forgiven" in full rotation, and toured with acts including Social Distortion and the Deftones. But as quick as it came, it disappeared.
After nearly two years of major-label success, WANK dropped off the radar just shy of the millennium, leaving fans wondering if they would ever see the band again. After a long break in which band members gained experience and bassist/vocalist Amodeo survived a five-year battle with leukemia, WANK is back, ready to "come out swinging."
WANK formed in the mid-1990s, when Amodeo, guitarist Daniel Walker, Amodeo's drummer brother Spider and guitarist Billie Stevens met in high school. They first focused on cover songs, but the band members quickly developed a taste for songwriting. They started jamming on original material inspired by acts such as the Clash, the Beatles and Elvis Costello and named their group after a cassette tape of Walker's home-recorded solo tracks that he titled WANK. The guys played the Orange County club scene, which "provided a lot of fuel" for Walker, a quiet kid who learned to express himself though music. "The friendships, the people, the fun, the fights, the good and the bad" all impacted his songwriting. "Our goal was always to make music by hustling and working at it, " says Amodeo, "kind of [with] the do-it-yourself mentality."
One fateful night in Anaheim, WANK opened for New York-based band Degeneration at Linda's Doll Hut. Among the crowd of local drunks and punk enthusiasts was Fullerton legend Mike Ness, who loved what he saw and approached the band after the gig. "Mike took us under his wing," says Amodeo. "Shortly after [meeting Ness], KROQ picked up our single. [We] got on Zeke's Backyard, then Jed the Fish [made] it his 'Catch of the Day.' About a week later, [KROQ] put us in full rotation."
Their upbeat radio-friendly rock caught the attention of Maverick Records, which signed WANK in 1998. The outfit were unable to track a new record because of issues the label was having with KROQ; Maverick instead released WANK's previously self-recorded album, Get a Grip on Yourself. "That was tough, but we had no choice," says Amodeo. The band immediately hit the road.
"We just kept going, and in late 1999, our management company and team came to us and said that we needed a change, that we were going to leave Maverick. At that point, all of us agreed that we were going to explore other opportunities."
The group amicably split. Walker went on to play with local favorite Handsome Devil, and the Amodeo brothers decided to pursue careers in music management. "Looking back with experience I think, 'Wow, we probably shouldn't have done half of that!'" Amodeo says, laughing. "But the experience was amazing for us. "
After WANK's members went their separate ways, Amodeo learned he had leukemia. "I thought I was done," recalled Amodeo. "I thought I was done in life–period. . . . I sold everything, checked into the hospital, and did chemo for five years." Afterward, it took time for him to build up the strength and will to get back onstage. Amodeo channeled the anger, fear, and pain he felt as a cancer survivor into songwriting. "It was tough coming back from that emotionally and physically," he says. "I'm ready. I feel the strongest I've ever felt."
The trio believes it was fate that drew them back together. "All of us need music in our lives," says Amodeo. "That chemistry the three of us have has always been perfect." Last month, WANK released their first video and new song since the 1990s. They're finishing a new record to be released this winter and are preparing to book national dates for 2016.
On Saturday, the Wayfarer in Costa Mesa will host WANK's only 2015 appearance in Orange County. "It's going to be a homecoming for us," says Amodeo, who's excited to get back to business. "There's going to be a lot of stories, a lot of new songs, and obviously a lot of fun. Costa Mesa's where we grew up."
WANK perform with Mink Daggers and the Cornfed Project at the Wayfarer, 843 W. 19th St., Costa Mesa, (949) 764-0039; www.wayfarercm.com. Sat., 9 p.m. $13-$15. 21+.

Ok, this is truly better than some storylines on even the best soap operas airing right now! Because, it is has so many twists and turn,s we will encapsulate here, but make sure to read the post from The St. Petersburg Times.
This story broke over the Memorial Day Weekend – former Llanview bad girl, Stacy Morasco, played by Crystal Hunt, called off her engagement to very wealthy and successful cancer surgeon, Dr. Phillipe Speiss, after Hunt hired private investigators to dig into Speiss's past with another woman, and his child by her. In the claims, Hunt said that Speiss originally told her that the child was a product of a one-night stand. However, after digging and receiving an anonymous letter, Hunt claims she found out that he was having a relationship with this woman, not a one night stand. So, Hunt called off the engagement, but wants to keep her engagement ring.
Crystal feels she has the keep the ring after buying the home and nearly $900,000 worth of gifts for Speiss during their relationship. But Spiess' Tampa lawyer, Ellen Ware, said Hunt is legally obligated to return the ring. "In Florida, an engagement ring is a conditional gift. If you break off the engagement, you give the ring back," she said.

Senior Julie Wojta and the Phoenix backed up their coach on Friday night, with the preseason All-Horizon League selection scoring 15 of her career-high 29 points in the second half to help No.18 Green Bay pull out a 65-49 victory over Wisconsin at the Kohl Center.
"Our team goes off the open player," Wojta said. "It's fun to be on a team like that. We're passing it around and taking whatever the defense gives us."
After Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez hired former Stanford assistant Bobbie Kelsey, Bollant not only said he was relieved he wasn't hired, but told his players that Green Bay was a "way better program." They didn't look like it in the first half, being out rebounded 14-12 and making no 3-pointers to trail 34-28 at the half.
"We were a little tight in the first half," Bollant said. "Give Wisconsin credit. They came out early and were the most aggressive team in the first half. No question about it. They were physical and got into us."
Slowly but surely, though, Green Bay (10-0) started to wear down the young Badgers (4-8) in the second half. In a 4:51 stretch, Green Bay's pressure forced Wisconsin into six of its 25 turnovers and went on a 13-2 run to take a 53-43 lead.
Green Bay never trailed following the run, shooting 60 percent after halftime and scoring 31 points off Badgers miscues to extend its regular-season winning streak to 30 games. .
"Teams are going to play with us for a while, but it's hard to play for 40 minutes because of the way we practice and how intense our kids are," Bollant said, "I thought that showed in the second half."
Junior Taylor Wurtz led the Badgers with 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range, as Wisconsin shot 46.4 percent in the first half. It was different in the second with the Badgers making only five buckets while committing 15 turnovers.
"I have to hit my open shots," Wurtz said, "We had to come out in the second half like we did in the first half and just play with that type of intensity."
Kelsey helped the Cardinal to three Final Four appearances in five years and was a member of the 1992 national championship team, but is still searching for her first signature win at Wisconsin, which couldn't close out the Phoenix after being outscored 21-6 in the final 10 minutes.
"We executed our offense, hit some shots, played defense with a NCAA tournament-experienced team," Kelsey said. "I thought our kids didn't back down, ready to play, weren't intimidated by them at all . but the game is 40 minutes, not 25."

Permian Basin oil and gas economy gaining some momentum
Published 10:31 am, Thursday, August 15, 2013
Halfway through 2013, Permian Basin oil and gas activity appears to gaining momentum after seeing flat growth rates since late last year.
Amarillo Economist Karr Ingham reported that the Texas Permian Basin Petroleum Index rose again in June, coming in 4.9 percent above June 2012 levels.
Ingham said activity levels, which had remained high despite flat growth, appear to be gaining momentum from higher oil prices, a rising rig count and recovery in the natural gas sector.
Crude oil prices, which are now above $100 a barrel, averaged $92.08 a barrel in June, up 16.4 percent from $79.08 last June. For the year, prices have averaged $90.77 a barrel, down 4.1 percent from $94.66 in the first half of 2012.
Natural gas prices rebounded in June, averaging $4.13 per Mcf, up 59.5 percent from $2.59 last June. To date in 2013, prices have averaged $3.64 per Mcf, a 49.8 percent gain from $2.43 a year ago.
Ingham said the rig count in the West Texas portion of the Permian Basin has been slowly on the rise, but the June average of 397 rigs was down 10.2 percent from 442 last June and the year-to-date average of 394 rigs is down 5.6 percent from 417 rigs averaged in the first six months of 2012.
The Railroad Commission also issued fewer drilling permits, 880 in June, down 10.8 percent from 986 last June, and the agency has issued 5,488 permits so far this year, down 3.3 percent from 5,657 issued in the same timeframe last year.
Operators reported 1,327 oil completions in June, 153.7 percent more than the 523 oil completions reported last June. Operators have completed 6,264 oil wells so far this year, up 124.5 percent from 2,790 a year ago.
Stronger natural gas prices gave a boost to natural gas completions in June, with operators reporting 27 gas completions, up 237.5 percent eight last June. For the year, however, operators have completed 65 natural gas wells, down 46.7 percent from 122 a year earlier.
High drilling activity continued to lift Permian Basin oil production volumes, which were up 2.1 percent in June over the previous June and are up 4 percent so far this year compared to last year. Strong prices also improved the value of June oil production to $2.62 billion, up 18.9 percent from $2.2 billion last June. For the year, the value of oil production slipped 0.2 percent to $15.233 billion from $15.26 billion last year.
Despite weak natural gas prices, Ingham noted that Permian Basin natural gas production remains relatively high due to gas being produced alongside crude oil. Still, a lack of drilling for natural gas sent production volumes down 3 percent in June compared to the previous June and volumes are 1 percent lower in 2013 compared to the first six months of 2012.
Rising gas prices raised the value of that production, however. June gas production was valued at $380.9 million, up 54.6 percent from $246.3 million last June. For the year, gas production is valued at just over $2 billion, up 47.6 percent from $1.36 billion last year.
The Permian Basin oil and gas industry continues to create jobs at a fast pace, with Ingham reporting employment averaging 30,795 in June, up 12 percent from 27,500 last June and 30,160 so far in 2013, up 14.7 percent from 26,300 in the same period last year.

A mild winter has put the annual grape harvest for icewines on hold for now, but Ontario producers are hopeful there will be a cold snap in the next few weeks.
"There is some risk with this year's weather being warmer," Louise Wilson, international sales manager for Andrew Peller Ltd., in Grimsby, said in an interview Wednesday. "It is, of course, on everyone's mind."
But Wilson noted their wineries - which include Peller Estates, Sandhill and Wayne Gretzky - have had a successful harvest every year since 1983 and they don't anticipate 2016 being any different.
- Brutal winters leave untold damage in Niagara wine crop
- Temperature plunge leaves Ontario vineyards scrambling to prevent crop damage
Regulations surrounding icewines state the temperature must be -8 C or colder before producers can pick grapes for icewine. Anything warmer than that but picked weeks to months after the grapes for table wines is considered a late harvest.
Wilson said they wait until the temperature is -10 C because they find it produces more flavour. The grapes must be frozen when they are picked and then they are pressed outside in the cold as well. It means the grapes release just a few drops of sweet concentrated juice, which is turned into icewine.
When it is time to pick, the vineyards have sensors throughout that will alert pickers if the temperature changes or starts to warm up, Wilson said.
'We're always at the mercy of Mother Nature.' - Paul Speck, Henry of Pelham
Paul Speck of Henry of Pelham in St. Catharines said Dec. 15 to Jan. 15 is the "sweet spot" for picking. But looking at the forecast, the weather is not even close to where it needs to be, he said.
"We're always at the mercy of Mother Nature," he said Tuesday.
He said 1997 was another bad year for the icewine harvest due to El Nino conditions, which is also why this winter has been milder than usual. In an image released Tuesday, NASA said the current El Nino is showing similar patterns to the weather phenomenon in December 1997.
Speck said they have picked grapes as late as March, but the yields decrease significantly, mostly because the grapes become dehydrated and even with nets, birds and deer eat the sweet grapes for dessert.
A later harvest may also mean more expensive icewine, Speck said. With fewer grapes, fewer bottles of icewine are produced and the bottles that are released can be highly sought after due to their rarity.
Change in plans
For Greg Wertsch of Between the Lines winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the milder winter weather was a factor in a decision by himself and his brother, Yannick, to skip making icewine this year.
"We decided against it and went for a late harvest," Wertsch said. "In hindsight, we think it was the right decision."
He said growers in particular are the ones hurt by waiting for the cold snap. When it's a good year, the growers get paid very well but in a year like this, a smaller yield means the growers won't make as much off their crop.
Their decision to go with a late harvest wine instead of an icewine wasn't one they made lightly, though, especially considering their 2013 vidal icewine was chosen as the official gift the Ontario Speaker will give in 2016.
But Wertsch said the vidal grapes they use for their icewine are also used in a new product called Origin, which they are debuting at the Niagara Icewine Festival starting Jan. 15. The canned single serving sparkling wine includes a small shot of icewine to add some sweetness. The O is a zero to indicate it was canned at 0 C.
Good winter for vines
The warmer weather will benefit the vines because it will give them a break after two very cold winters, Wilson said. Colder winters, such as the past two, can damage the vines, but what the grapes will really need is a warm summer to produce the best harvest, she said.
Wertsch agreed, saying they saw some damage to their vines after two tough winters. With the milder weather, the vines will get a rest.
He said he anticipates a winter that is "not too cold, a good growing season and we're back in business" with a solid crop next fall.
Icewine 'knocks your socks off'
Wilson said the quality of icewine is always pretty much the same because the process of making the wine does not change - the only difference is how many grapes they can pick.
Icewine is one of those products Canada does very well and it is highly sought after around the world, she noted.
"There are so few places in the world that can make it," she said. "It's such a unique and special wine… it kind of knocks your socks off."
Icewine fans and producers will be keeping an eye on the forecast in the coming weeks, hoping for the cold snap that is necessary to begin picking and pressing.
"There is elevated risk the longer the grapes are out there," Wilson said. Producers don't need a whole winter of cold weather — just a few nights — and, she noted, "There's a lot of winter left."
