It's almost summer and if you're a kid there's excitement in the air. It's finally time to get out and do something you really love.
If you're a parent, you can't wait for the words Shannon Shapiro heard from her 7-year-old daughter Tyler after the first day of camp last year:
"Mommy, Mommy! That was the best day ever!" Tyler is already registered for the UM Mini Canes Recreational Sports Camp this summer.
Summer is the time to act, sing, sail, swim, row, dance, paint, cheer, write, cook, take photos, help others, make crafts, shoot baskets, score goals, get fit, ride horses, get dirty, get moving, be a little wild, and travel through time.
Excuse me?
"Time Travelers" is just one of the choices at the Deering Estate at Cutler summer camp, one of many in our community. So, parents, it is your time to get registering.
To make your job easier, here are just a few camps that caught our eye.
Many repeat campers love their Coconut Grove Sailing Club Summer Youth Camp, training young sailors since the 1970s. In our house the teen actually got up early for this camp and came home exhausted after a good day on the water.
Students are grouped at beginner, intermediate, advanced or racing levels and U.S. Sailing certified instructors and junior instructors supervise the classes. Campers must be between 7-14. Camp runs weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine. There are five two-week sessions starting June 10. Each session is $400 for a member or $500 for a non-member. Scholarships are available.
The sailing club is at 2990 S. Bayshore Dr. Check out www.cgsc.org/summer-camp or contact Lauren Simpson at firstname.lastname@example.com to register.
If your camper likes to be in the water during our hot summer days, the historic Venetian Pool in Coral Gables might be just the place. In the Jr. Lifeguard sessions students ages 5-12 learn CPR, First Aid and water rescue skills. And new this year is the Guard Start program for ages 13-15. There are also half-day Fun in the Sun camps for ages 7-12.
"We have waterfalls and caves in the pool and the kids imagine they are on an adventure, " said Counselor Ashley Jugo, 21 and a senior at FlU. "The most fun for me is being able to explore with the kids. Just being around them you get to be like a kid yourself."
Venetian Pool is at 2701 De Soto Blvd., Coral Gables. Prices range from $80 for one week of the half-day camp to $267 for the two-week Jr. Lifeguard camp. Fees are higher for non-residents of Coral Gables. Email email@example.com
If your camper really does want to try traveling through time, Miami-Dade Parks' Specialized Camps are where to get started. Remember, many Miami-Dade Parks' camps require a small registration fee, usually $12.
The Deering Estate at Cutler offers "Time Traveling" along with "Wild and Crazy," "Planet Patrol" and "Getting Dirty." Eco Explorers are ages 6-8 while those in Expedition Deering are ages 6-14.
These camps range from $125 to $188 for five-day sessions, from June 10 to Aug 16. Camp hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Check www.deeringestate.org.
Miami Rowing Club Summer Camp started in 1982 and more than 4,000 young athletes have attended the program.

Campers are in grades 6-12. Rowers meet from 8 a.m. to noon in five two-week sessions starting June 10 through Aug 16. The fee is $450 per session, $425 for two or more sessions.

Last one for Scales of War #6: T5 - The Final Encounter
Last edited by Wonko the Sane; 09-01-2010 at 03:04 PM. Reason: Oops...wrong URL
Again, thank you.
You're quite welcome...I'm glad others are able to get some use out of these as well.
Wonko can I ask what you generally did for T3 - Hold The Wall with the hole in the wall and the debris? I'm looking to redo my map of The Raid on Loudwater in the FR DMG and it has a similar wall breach.
Cheers, Julien

1. Draw a big rectangle using a straight path for the main part of the wall, full width.
2. Draw two fractal paths crossing the wall (the edges of the breach).
3. Break the original rectangle between the breach edges, creating the gap.
4. Multipoly the straight path and the fractal breach edge with a solid vertical brick fill pattern. Both halves of the wall are on the same sheet.
5. On a new sheet, draw a strip down either edge of the wall with a solid horizontal brick fill. This forms the "bottom" of the battlements.
6. On another new sheet, draw 1 "battlement" (small rectangle). Copy/paste these along the edges of the wall.
7. Add yet another new sheet (below the wall). Draw a rectangle as wide as the wall and a little longer than the breach, filled with some sort of dirt fill pattern.
8. Sheet effects: Main Wall - Bevel (Length = 1, Strength=30%, Fade=0); Battlement "bottom" - Glow (Color=0,0,0; Intensity=0, Blur radius=1); Battlements - Bevel (Length=0.5, Strength=30%,Fade=1), Wall Shadow, Directional (Sun direction=90, Length=2, Blur Radius=1); Dirt - Edge Fade, Inner (Edge length=2, Inner Opacity=100%, Outer Opacity=0%)
9. The debris is just a bunch of .png symbols...from CSUAC and SMAC and other places from over the years. All are placed on a separate sheet between the dirt and the wall.
The fill patterns used were grabbed from CG Textures, my new favorite website (after The Cartographer's Guild, of course).
Like I said, I don't know if the technique transfers to GIMP, but I hope the mini-tutorial is helpful nonetheless.
I think I can get it, the process isn't the same nor are the value for the filters. But all and all the procedure is similar. Only thing is I gotta get myself some good rubble and waste objects in .png format.
Edit: After some fooling around I think I got it. Check my WIP thread and let me know what you think.

Sorry for the delay in getting this map done, but real life has been doing a good job of getting in the way of my fun.
At any rate, here is the one and only map for Scales of War Ep. #7 - The Fist of Mourning (hosted on DeviantArt).

FOX 32 News has teamed up with no-kill shelter PAWS Chicago to bring you an adoptable pet each week. This week, we're featuring Marcie, a beautiful, fun-loving Pit Bull Terrier mix.
This devoted and highly intelligent dog came to PAWS about a year ago. She spent several weeks at K9 university, learning how to properly walk on a leash, sit, stay and more!
Marcie prefers the company of people to the company of other dogs and cats, so would be best for her to be the only dog in her forever home.

After selling the Devices and Services division to Microsoft, Nokia is now trying to build a great location platform out of HERE. Last month, they announced that they have acquired Desti, an SRI international spin-off that uses artificial intelligence and natural language understanding to create deep knowledge of destinations by reading everything about them, and understands users' natural language, so they can be specific and get the best results, immediately. Today, they announced that they have acquired Medio systems for an undisclosed sum.

Last Update on September 30, 2014 17:13 GMT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. home prices in July increased at the slowest pace in 20 months, reflecting sluggish sales and a greater supply of houses for sale.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 6.7 percent in July from 12 months earlier. That's down from an 8.1 percent gain in June and the smallest increase since November 2012.
Nineteen of the 20 cities in the index reported lower annual gains than in June. And a new national index of home prices compiled by S&P rose just 5.6 percent.
Lower price gains should make homes more affordable for would-be buyers. Sales of existing homes picked up over the summer but then dipped in August. Sales have fallen 5.3 percent in the past year.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. consumer confidence dropped in September after hitting the highest level in nearly seven years in August.
The Conference Board says its confidence index fell to 86.0, the first decline after four months of gains. It fell from a revised 93.4 in August, which had been the highest level since autumn 2007 before the Great Recession officially began in December 2007.
Conference Board economists say the decline reflected a less positive view of the current state of the job market.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama will deliver an economic address this week, hoping to promote the recovery as the campaign season heads into its final weeks before midterm congressional elections.
Obama plans to deliver a speech Thursday at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management in Evanston, Illinois, drawing attention to economic advances since he took office. The White House says he will also press for additional steps that the government can undertake to create jobs and improve wages.
The speech comes amid polls that still show the economy is the top issue with voters and that a majority of voters disapprove of Obama's handling of the economy. The speech marks a shift from Obama's recent attention to international crises, particularly the start of a new bombing campaign against Islamic extremists.
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- PayPal is splitting from EBay Inc. and will become a separate and publicly traded company next year.
The separation is expected to occur in the second half of 2015.
EBay says its board decided that the separation was the best path for growth and shareholder value creation for each business.
Dan Schulman, the president of the enterprise growth group at American Express, will be the new president at PayPal, effective immediately. The 56-year-old will become PayPal's CEO once the separation takes place.
BRUSSELS (AP) -- Official figures show inflation across the 18 European Union countries that use the euro dipped further toward zero in September, a move that's likely to maintain pressure on the European Central Bank to back further stimulus measures.
Eurostat, the EU's statistics office, says consumer prices in the eurozone rose only 0.3 percent in the year to September against the previous month's 0.4 percent.
Inflation, which is at its lowest level since October 2009, is way below the ECB's target of just below 2 percent.
One reason behind the ECB's recent interest rate reductions has been to prevent a sustained bout of falling prices -- so-called deflation, which can make consumers delay purchases.
Eurostat also said unemployment in the eurozone was unchanged at 11.5 percent in August.
LONDON (AP) -- The U.K. economy grew faster in the second quarter than previously estimated, with official figures revising up the quarter-on-quarter growth rate by 0.1 percentage points to 0.9 percent.
The Office for National Statistics revision came at the same time as officials put into place data and methodological changes meant to make Britain comply with international norms.
Joe Grice says that despite the changes the country's long-term average growth rate is little changed, though the economic downturn ended about nine months earlier than thought.
He notes that "the recent downturn continues to be the deepest since ONS records began." Chris Williamson, analyst at Markit.com, says the new statistics show the economy is now 2.7 percent larger than it pre-crisis peak.
LONDON (AP) -- Taxpayer-owned Royal Bank of Scotland says strong economic conditions are boosting its finances and that it expects to take a smaller hit from bad investments this year.
The bank, which was rescued by the British taxpayer during the 2008 financial crisis, issued an unscheduled trading update today to report it would "significantly outperform" its previous guidance of 1 billion pounds ($1.6 billion) in impairment charges. It says it now expects to put aside only half a billion pounds for bad loans.
Rising property prices in Ireland have helped its Ulster Bank unit. RBS Capital Resolution, which contains toxic investments, has improved with the economy. RBS says uncertainties remain, however.
The bank is undergoing a sweeping restructuring to focus on its core business in the U.K.
BRUSSELS (AP) -- The European Union's competition watchdog says tax rebates that Ireland granted iPhone maker Apple appear to amount to illegal state aid and may have to be recouped.
Apple Inc. funnels the bulk of its international sales through subsidiaries in Ireland, where it benefits from low, negotiated tax deals.
In a letter to the Irish government published Tuesday, the 28-nation bloc's executive Commission said the tax treatment granted to Apple raises "doubts about the compatibility" with EU law.
The Commission says tax deals struck with Apple in 1991 and then 2007 show "several inconsistencies" and may not comply with international taxation standards.
The EU first announced the probe in June. It's now requesting further documents from Ireland before making a decision, which is likely to take several months.
DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- Walgreen Co. (WAG) reports a loss of $239 million in its fiscal fourth quarter.
On a per-share basis, the Deerfield, Illinois-based company says it had a loss of 25 cents. Earnings, adjusted for non-recurring costs and amortization costs, came to 74 cents per share.
The results met Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was also for earnings of 74 cents per share.
The drugstore chain posted revenue of $19.06 billion in the period, exceeding Street forecasts. Analysts expected $19.02 billion, according to Zacks.
Walgreen shares have increased nearly 4 percent since the beginning of the year, while the S&P 500 has climbed 7 percent. The stock has climbed slightly more than 9 percent in the last 12 months.
Johnson & Johnson buying Alios for $1.75B
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) -- Johnson & Johnson is buying the biopharmaceutical company Alios BioPharma Inc. for about $1.75 billion.
Alios is a privately held company that focuses on developing therapies for viral diseases.
The deal includes Alios' portfolio of potential therapeutics for viral infections including compound AL-8176, an orally administered antiviral therapy currently in Phase 2 studies for the treatment of infants with respiratory syncytial virus. RSV typically causes only mild, cold-like symptoms in most children. But it is also the most common cause of pneumonia in U.S. infants.
The acquisition is targeted to close in the fourth quarter.
Johnson & Johnson is based in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
NEW YORK (AP) -- News Corp. is spending about $950 million to buy the online real estate business Move Inc., in a deal that aims to speed up the media company's digital expansion.
News Corp. says it will pay $21 per share in cash for each outstanding share of Move. That represents a 37 percent premium over the stock's closing stock price of $15.29 on Monday.
Move operates the website realtor.com and News Corp. says it displays more than 98 percent of all for-sale properties listed in the United States. The media company says Move's network of websites reaches about 35 million people per month.
New York-based News Corp., which is controlled by Rupert Murdoch, expects the deal to close at the end of the year. Move's board has unanimously approved the acquisition.

It wasn't too long ago that we learned that Toyota and Tesla were partnering together to make electric cars. Tesla would be providing the electric drivetrains and expertise and Toyota would be providing its solid reputation, NUMMI factory and much-needed funding. Well the partnership has produced its first offspring: the new RAV4 EV.
The duo unveiled the all-electric compact SUV at the LA Auto Show. It's planned for a 2012 release and pre-production models are getting 100 miles per charge. Between now and its release, Toyota is working to ensure that a 100-mile range can be achieved in all climate condition.
Initially it will be sold in California and viagra online switzerland California-emission standard states (Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Oregon, Washington and Arizona).
Elon Musk also stated that working with Toyota and having access to Lexus components has been beneficial to developing Tesla's Model S and potentially an SUV version that could be unveiled late next year.

NEW YORK — With a horse meat controversy raging in Europe, the US Department of Agriculture is likely to approve a horse slaughtering plant in New Mexico in the next two months — making it the first time since 2007 that equine meat suitable for human consumption will be produced in the United States.
The plant, in Roswell, N.M., is owned by Valley Meat Co., which sued the USDA in the fall over the lack of inspection services for horses going to slaughter. Horse meat cannot be processed for human consumption in the United States without inspection by the USDA, so horses destined for that purpose have been shipped to places such as Mexico and Canada for slaughter.

A message from the superintendent
Working late at the office last week, my cell phone lit up with the familiar school district phone number. My son attends one of our public schools. I imagined I would be hearing another automated invitation to some school production.
But this time it was a recording from the superintendent himself, announcing a $17 million shortfall in next year's budget, and that he had prepared a $25 million menu of budget cutting options for the board. He talked about the state of Florida having something to do with this turn of events.
Mr. Negron? Mr. Lee? What's going on here? My business has been doing better every year since the crash, and I keep hearing unemployment in the state is slowly coming down. I would rather expect to hear the superintendent saying revenues were up and the surplus would be split between improving schools and reducing taxes.
A quick survey of the district website found that reserves from better times have been balancing the budget, but that those will be running out in the next school year and something needs to be done to stabilize the years ahead.
I propose that we citizens address half the shortfall with an increase in the millage rate, and leave the board and the superintendent to wrestle with the state and/or their budget for the other half.
We are talking about raising revenues from approximately $261 million to $270 million, which is a 3.26 percent increase in the school district portion of our property taxes. Surely we can do that.
I went to public schools and our community supported them well beyond what I now see. It's time to stop the curmudgeonly thinking and realize our nation will decline with our schools unless we maintain the vision and effort of our American predecessors!
Enjoying the comments
After returning home from the holidays I picked up this issue of Hometown News.
Reading these comments, I realize true Americans are going to fight this socialistic regime that infiltrates our government. I'm also hoping, you print it.
All very good comments on Jan. 18:
l. "Turn commercials down." How true! I think OWN channel is one of the worst. One evening from my back bedroom, I thought I heard two men talking in my living room. It was a loud ad which actually frightened me.
2. "In response to rant" Writer stated, "More than a little confusing, if you ask me, Hmmmm. Man, are you right on! Hurricane Sandy was just as devastating, if not more than Katrina, some say. More than confusing. Proud of you to care.
3. "Questioning flood insurance." Your statement, "You and I as a result, are the ones who are paying, paying and paying. Enough is enough."
You are right on, especially when it comes to feel-good politicians.
4. "Don't blame teachers." You are so right! It's true there are good, better and best in all professions, but I feel their credentials should be of a high degree. A big problem is, teachers cannot teach and be expected to discipline brats, too. There are too many kids of all ages whose parents are not around to do their jobs, don't know where their kids are, etc. One million kids did not graduate this past year.
5. "Clean up your act, Hollywood." Everything written here is true. Where are the feel-good politicians" here? Same people (like Obama, if it feels good, do it). Hypocrites who condemn smokers as sinners and second-class citizens, set the double standards, as an example. Television can be Satan himself to kids of all ages, and certain adults, as well. I believe your rant here is agreed to by the type of writers here.
6. "My fork made me fat." Too funny! Great analogy. Again, here comes the same do-gooders, trying to disarm Americans. That's how communism/ socialism, government takeovers start. Hitler burned the books, disarmed the people, etc. The people who put Obama in for a second time just don't get it. They will get it, and it won't take four years.
7. "Domestic violence is still problem." Of course, this is an absolute fact. Writer stated, "Please don't judge, please help instead." It's easy for some people to judge things like this when it doesn't happen in their family. It's true, some abused women feel they are to blame, or stay in the situation for one reason or another. It's also true, they hurt more than many can imagine in every way. Education and help for abused women and children (some men) are needed.
8. "Regarding gun control," your comment is right on and an important issue today. Sane people know that gangs and all the wrong people can, and will, always be able to get their hands on any gun, or type of weapon they want.
Obama has always wanted his gun control laws, to take away the right to bare (sp. bear) arms of American citizens. If Obama gets his way, along with many other rights he is working on, it will be part of his complete government control. What is happening to the government of the people, by the people and for the people?
9. "Reviewing driver licenses." I see your point on driver license renewals of the past. However, if you think about the reason(s) for new rules you won't be too upset. Times have changed drastically and new rules are made for all our good and protection. No one is trying to prevent you from driving. You say, going in person, waiting in line is very inconvenient. Why? Would it be OK with you if driver licenses were given by mail to just anyone?
Think about the criminals, or really bad drivers who should never have a license. A photo I.D is required, which is a good thing. Having a legitimate driver license in this country is an important card to carry wherever you go. Also, driving is a privilege, which some people abuse, some more than others. It's not too difficult to renew your license. You can even make an appointment at your convenience.
You say, "If you go in person, stand in line, then you are going to hang on to your birth certificate, because if you want to get a passport, you have to mail that." You also stated, it's going to make it very inconvenient for a lot of older people, and they should do something about it.
My dear friend, they are doing something about it. God bless, and good luck.
10. "Government managing our lives." The person who wrote this rant has said it all. Your strong belief that anyone who trusts our government to manage every aspect of our lives is delusional. Everything you mentioned is the logical truth.
I pray the speaker of the house, all Republicans, all real and true Americans, continue to fight hard and stick to their guns.
We're in for some tough times ahead, but God's people are can-do people. We will lose a few battles, but we will meet the enemy, and they will be ours.
What's going on in D.C.?
Why is there a housing boom in Washington, D.C. and not the rest of the country? How do people of modest means get elected to office in Washington and leave being multimillionaires?
President Kennedy took his wealth to Washington, others make it there. Why is the U.S home base for Lamborghini located in Washington, D.C. and why are Italian car owners unhappy because the cars are being paid for in cash and not financed? Why do several lawmakers, Harry Reid is one of the worst, have siblings that are lobbyists and use their relationships for profit at our expense?
Why do the restaurants around Washington serve only the finest food and expensive selections of wine? Why did most of the stimulus money stay in the Washington, D.C. area? Why is the pay rate higher in Washington, D.C. area than other parts of the country?
And lastly, exactly what product is produced in Washington that justifies the salaries and lifestyle? I think we all need to write our congressman, demand answers and drastic changes.
Editor's note: We could find no evidence that Lamborghini is based in Washington, D.C. There are Lamborghini dealers in the Washington, D.C. area. The car manufacturer was acquired by Audi in 1998.
Gun control
Stronger gun laws will take guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens. More government controls will deter the type of people who might have stopped the murders at Sandy Hook. They will have no effect on taking away guns from the deranged.
President Obama's ideas restrict our freedoms but they are meaningless "feel- good" proposals designed for the effect. They solve nothing.

It occurs to me, if 4.3 is at all positioned as a counter to SWTOR, that just favors a normal mode, since SWTOR (and GW2) is built on an up-to-date understanding of the needs of the individual player before their community dependence... And "heroic only" just highlights community dependence.

Here's a tip I'd like to pass on that resulted solely from trial and error.
I regularly see Failover Cluster, Hyper-V, NIC Teaming, VLANs, iSCSI networks and so on as components of a complex environment managed by SCVMM. Each of these components can affect decisions regarding network design. In the process of implementing the desired settings there will often remain a network, or NIC, that goes unused – even if temporarily. This unused NIC may have had a cable plugged in at some time, but for now there is no cable and the NIC shows a status in Windows of 'Network cable unplugged.' This seems harmless enough, but I've found it to be a real problem generator. Luckily, this has a simple fix: right click and select 'Disable.'
So, a NIC left enabled but without a cable plugged in can cause problems. Make this correction, then retry whatever issue you previously experienced. I have resolved cases involving WMI, BITS, WinRM and so on. You might see these jobs affected:
SCVMM is not in any way more affected by an unplugged network cable than are other Microsoft products. SCVMM just touches many of these products and therefore can be affected in the same way they are. I hope this helps a few of you out there!
In the last few weeks we have seen a few cases with an unusual error code: 0x800704DD. If you run into this issue the fix is simple. Our fearless leader Michael has posted a blog explaining the problem and how to fix it. Definitely worth a visit.

Another great find by Michael Michael. He has this written up beautifully, so I'll just provide a link. You may be affected and need a resolution if you have these conditions:

Green Papers, as they are called in Europe, or White Papers, as they are known in America and Britain, are often mere rhetorical essays – government-backed studies that state broad principles unlikely ever to be applied in practice. The recent Green Paper released by the European Commission on international migration is no exception.
Indeed, the Paper is a hodgepodge of illogic and half-baked ideas that aims at "launching a public debate" on the issue, "choosing a bottom-up, rather than a top-down approach." But while the objective is to "harmonize policies towards economic migrants across the EU," the Paper states at the outset that decisions on this matter should remain solely under the jurisdiction of national governments. Some of the rules that it proposes are unenforceable – and thus merely a source of red tape for migrants and their employers that would require huge public bureaucracies to administer.
Co-ordination of national migration policies will remain a dream if decisions continue to be kept under the exclusive responsibility of national governments. There is no sign in the EU that national regulations on economic migration are converging.
Policies on migrants are becoming increasingly tough, especially in those countries that already had the most restrictive provisions. Since 1995, there were 26 reforms of migration policies in the EU-15: two-thirds tightened regulations by increasing procedural obstacles faced by visa applicants, reducing the duration of work permits, or making family reunification more difficult.
Countries are getting tougher because migration flows can be diverted across jurisdictions. This raises concerns among public opinion that migrants rejected by some countries could flood those that do not impose tighter restrictions.
Cross-national policy spillovers are frequent. Finland tightened its immigration regulations in 2004, following closely the restrictive stance taken by Denmark in 2002. Portugal adopted more restrictive provisions in 2001, after Spain implemented a similar reform in 2000. Ireland did the same in 1999, after the UK enacted two reforms in 1996 and 1998 designed to curb immigration.
This race to restrict pervaded decision-making on transitional arrangements following accession of 10 new members – eight of them postcommunist countries – to the EU last May. Twelve of the 15 countries reneged on promises not to restrict worker flows from the new members as they realized that Austria and Germany were closing their borders to immigration from their eastern neighbors.
But tight national restrictions do not seem to prevent migration; they only alter the geographical orientation of flows and fuel increases in illegal immigration, thereby inflating the size of the informal economy. Indeed, illegal immigration is larger when restrictions to legal migration are tight. Illegal flows as a proportion of the population are about 25% larger in Europe than in the US; at the same time, legal flows are roughly 25% larger in the US than in Europe. The US also has more realistic migration restrictions than most European countries.
Realistic restrictions in Europe can be adopted only by taking into account migration spillovers across jurisdictions, which requires implementing policies that are agreed at the EU level. But national governments remain reluctant to delegate authority: in November 2004, the European Council accepted qualified majority voting on measures concerning illegal migration, but left restrictions on legal migration subject to unanimity rules, as if legal and illegal migration were not merely two sides of the same coin.
The Green Paper will not make EU leaders change their minds. It states that national governments can better "respond to the specific needs of their labor markets." It does not stress the obvious advantages of having the EU as a unique player in enforcing border controls, signing cooperation agreements with migrants' countries of origin, and encouraging the type of flows that are best suited for Europe.
The Green Paper also suggests that, when admitting migrants, member countries "require proof that no one already part of the domestic labor market can fill the vacancy concerned." It is unlikely that this would be possible even under central planning. Migrants change jobs twice a year on average, as they "grease the wheels" of European labor markets with their mobility from less to more productive jobs. Should we prevent them from doing so?
Similarly, the Paper proposes that the self-employed should be admitted after an evaluation of their business plans. In Milan this year, more foreigners than Italians registered as self-employed. Who will examine their business plans? Even if the Paper's suggestion were plausible, which it is not, it begs a larger question: should we prevent migrants from taking entrepreneurial risks?
If taken seriously, these rules will accomplish nothing, except to force migrants and their prospective employers to find other ways to each other. The European Commission's Green Paper on immigration looks like an invitation to join the underground economy.

Rumours have been circulating the internet for a while concerning Samsung's new flagship and when it will hit the shelves. Thankfully, a vice president from the company has eventually established that the Galaxy S5 will be with us by April. With this confirmation however, the world is wondering what Samsung will do to compete with other leading mobile brands.
2013 was a big year for inbuilt biometrics, as we saw fingerprint scanners appear on handsets from HTC, Apple and LG, but is there a market for further developments? Will we see the likes of iris scanners on upcoming models? And, if so, how functional will they be?
When questioned on the new handset Lee Young Hee, executive vice president of mobile business at Samsung, said: "When we moved to S4 from S3, it's partly true that consumers couldn't really feel much difference between the two products from the physical perspective, so the market reaction wasn't as big. For the S5, we will go back to the basics. Mostly, it's about the display and the feel of the cover."
Just like the Galaxy S4, Samsung plans to announce the new handset in March, leading to an official release in April. This probably means that Samsung's presence at Barcelona's Mobile World Conference 2014 next month won't yield any new toys.
Hee later revealed that the South Korean firm is working on a second generation wearable device, most likely something to replace the Galaxy Gear. We hope to see a new model carrying a little less weight, and to host some kind of health-reading functionality.

Adding a TreeMultiselectField to a page type
16 January 2009 at 12:46pm
Hi everyone!
I am pretty new to SS and I have to say I LOVE IT!!!
I would like to create a page type that includes a TreeMultiselectField where a user could select multiple options from an expandable tree type menu while editing that page type in the admin section.
Does anyone have an example of a class that can build and populate(with options I could define) the menu, and then add it into Root.admin.main so that the end user can use the tool??
I would really appreciate any help you have to offer...
Re: Adding a TreeMultiselectField to a page type

You can run getChildrenAsUL() on any object to recursively build out its children. For instance, the menu on the left in the Site Content view of Silverstripe runs singleton('SiteTree')->getChildrenAsUL() (that is, essentially, every page that has been created). One of the arguments it takes is the "template" for the LI... so you can put special classes or hooks in there. I think that's in DataObject.php for reference. Might just look it up in the docs.

Re: Adding a TreeMultiselectField to a page type

What you are saying making alot of sense, but to be honest it is a little over my head.
I work for a school in New Jersey, US, and I am trying to develope a system for "online lesson planning". The one request I keep getting is for the teachers to be able to select the applicable "standards" from a list.
The "standards" are dictated by the state and are formated like:
1 - math
1.1 - general
1.1.1 - addition
1.1.2 - subtraction
Ideally there would be a check box or some method of "adding" for each speficic standard.
Is this reasonable?
In Tutorial 2 it shows you how to dispaly the children of another section of the site.
Can you use a similiar technique in the .php files in the 'code' folder to call the children of another area of the site?
::Hope that makes some sort of sense::
Re: Adding a TreeMultiselectField to a page type
16 January 2009 at 3:35pm
Okay. What is the source of the whole standards hierarchy? Is it static? Or is this stored dynamically in the database?
Re: Adding a TreeMultiselectField to a page type
16 January 2009 at 4:01pm
Actually, if my 15 credits of a masters degree in education serves me right, then you're probably looking at a population of standards that rarely changes. Let's assume that you have added all the standards, in order, to the Standards table.
class Standard extends DataObject
static $db = array ('Name' => 'Varchar(50)','Number' => 'Varchar(10)');
static $belongs_many_many = array ('Lesson');
class Lesson extends Page
static $many_many = array ('Standards' => 'Standard');
public function getCMSFields()
$f = parent::getCMSFields();
$f->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Standards",new CheckboxSetField('Standards','Standards (check all that apply)', DataObject::get("Standard")->toDropdownMap()));

News and Events Details
Summer might offer a break from school for some youngsters, but when you're Upward Bound it's a time for more learning and more adventure.
More than 70 high school students enrolled in the Upward Bound programs in Superior, Proctor and Duluth's Denfeld High School recently completed a six-week summer program at the University of Wisconsin-Superior that included academic courses, team-building activities and field trips as well as cultural, social, athletic and career-related activities.
Helping high-potential students
Upward Bound is a federally funded program that supports high-potential students who would be unlikely to pursue higher education without extra support. It's intended mainly for students from families with low incomes, those with parents who did not attend college, and those living in rural areas. The students receive tutoring, counseling, and study skills training to help them improve their grades and build self-confidence needed to pursue post-secondary education,
"Many of our students have high potential to go to college," said Angie Hugdahl, Upward Bound director at UW-Superior. "Our summer program is an opportunity for them to take more intensive coursework."
UW-Superior's successful Upward Bound program recently received renewed funding of $250,000 a year for the next five years.
A taste of college life
The Upward Bound summer program at UW-Superior involves the Upward Bound students enrolled through programs at UW-Superior and Lake Superior College in Duluth. The summer program offers students opportunities to gain confidence and independence through hard work and academic achievement in a simulated college setting.
During the session, students live in a university residence hall and take classes in English, foreign languages, mathematics, and public speaking. They also learn how to use computers and how to use a library to conduct research. Evenings offer more opportunities for learning through activities such as hearing a motivational speaker, putting on a talent show and taking part in recreation nights.
On the road
The Upward Bound Summer Program also goes on the road, taking the students for a weeklong stay at the Laurentian Environmental Camp in Britt, Minn. Students learn outdoor survival skills, examine different types of environments, learn about Wildlife Management, and learn activities like rock climbing, swimming and canoeing.
Their final week this year was spent broadening their horizons with a trip to Tennessee. The group's itinerary include a visit to Vanderbilt University and tours of cultural and historical sites including the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, the famous Studio B record studio, the Grand Old Opry, and Andrew Jackson's home, The Hermitage.
The Bridge Program
Along with the current high school students, the summer program included several recent graduates who were taking part in Upward Bound's Bridge Program, which helps the grads prepare to enter college in the fall and contemplate possible career choices.
Taylor Burm, a 2012 graduate of Superior High School, spent three days a week taking classes aimed at helping her in college strategies, life planning and determining her career interests.
Burm, who will attend the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire this fall, spent four years in the Upward Bound program. She also used the Youth Options program to take six UW-Superior classes, which helped her discover that she likes to write and prompted her decision to major in journalism.
Inspired to work harder
Burm said Upward Bound helped her prepare for college academically, visit universities and prepare to take the ACT exam. Just as important, it helped her overcome her shyness and inspired her to work harder in school.
"It helped me with study strategies and with setting time aside to study," she said. "Instead of settling for B's and C's, I strived to get A's."
The students now get a break to enjoy the remainder of the summer. But they'll be back at UW-Superior and Lake Superior College in September for another year of Upward Bound.
