Brian Urlacher to Seahawks QB Russell Wilson: You ended my career
When former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher announced his retirement in May, one of the reasons he said he was retiring was because he didn't think he could 'bring a level of performance that's up to my standards.'
One of the reasons Urlacher couldn't play up to his standards is because he had a bad hamstring. The cause of that bad hamstring: Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
During an interview with Wilson on Wednesday, Urlacher credited -- or blamed, depending on your point of view -- the second-year quarterback for ending his 13-year career.
"Russell, I'm not sure if you know this or not, but you ended my career basically last year on that third down in overtime," Urlacher said, via FoxSports.com. "You were rolling out, I was trying to chase you. Trying to chase you down I popped my hamstring and missed the last four games of the season. You ended it."
The play Urlacher's referring to was a third-and-2 situation for the Seahawks on the opening possession of overtime during the Bears Week 12 game against Seattle.
Urlacher chased Wilson down and tackled him on the play, but not before the Seahawks quarterback scrambled for five yards and got the first down. That was the last play of Urlacher's 13-year career. Even worse for Urlacher, the Bears didn't even win. Wilson and the Seahawks won the game seven plays later on a Wilson 13-yard touchdown pass to Sidney Rice.
The Bears missed the playoffs by one game.
Wilson won't get the chance to end any other Bears linebackers careers this year because Chiacgo and Seattle don't play each other in 2013.

text: The Open Library Environment (OLE, pronounced oh-lay) Project invites you to apply to participate in a two day Regional Design Workshop. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for representatives of local research libraries and related institutions to discuss our work surrounding the current Integrated Library System and ideas on what this type of core system should incorporate. Workshops are being held in a variety of locations in the US over the next 2 months. For more information and to find a location near you, go to: http://oleproject.org/workshops. Participation is open to any member of the research library community who works with the Integrated Library System either on a day to day basis or from a higher level. OLE will be developed as an open source library environment that meets the needs of research libraries. While care will be taken to design an open and flexible system that is useful for other types of libraries, such as public libraries, the focus of the project in this early stage is on research libraries. The OLE project, with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, seeks to convene the academic library community in the design of an Open Library Management System built using the principles of Service Oriented Architecture. The project partners consist of leaders from academic libraries in the United States, Canada, and Australia dedicated to thinking beyond the current model of an Integrated Library System. We seek to design a new system that is flexible, customizable and able to meet the changing and complex needs of modern, dynamic academic libraries. The end product will be a design document to inform open source library system development efforts, to guide future library system implementations, and to influence current Integrated Library System vendor products.

Much like the twists and turns on popular TV shows today like "Game of Thrones" or "Scandal," the BLS monthly jobs reports tend to evoke a roller coaster of emotions ranging from happiness, to disbelief, to disappointment, to gratitude, to anger, to confusion. And the April jobs report released this morning was no different. As you may know, following each month's jobs report, we read dozens of news reports, scour the Web, and break what we find down to three key talking points you can use. Whether you're taking a break at the office water cooler or conversing with peers in the industry, you'll have three conversation starters in your pocket.
#JobsFriday update: Whoa, acc/ to the @AP the US unemployment rate (now at 6.3%) is the lowest in 5½ years. Woot! #jobsreport — CareerBuilder (@CBforEmployers) May 2, 2014
1. Good news! (But is it really?) If you awoke to joyous Twitter banter this morning, it may have been people rejoicing about the April jobs report. U.S. employers added 288,000 jobs in April, which is a whole lot more than the 218,000 economists were initially expecting. Even better, the unemployment rate dropped to 6.3 percent, which is the lowest it's been since September 2008. BUT, like all good things there must be a catch, right? Right. (Thanks a lot, economy.)
2. People are dropping (out of the workforce) like flies. As it turns out, the catch to the low unemployment rate is the labor force participation rate, which has now fallen to approximately a 30-year low of 62.8 percent. The labor force shrank by 806,000 and the number of people who are employed dropped by 73,000. These reports are such a roller coaster of emotion, I tell ya.
3. We're on a roll — sort of. March's employment numbers were revised up, from 192,000 to 203,000 jobs. And so was February's — from 197,000 to 222,000 jobs. These new revisions mean the U.S. economy has averaged 190,000 jobs over the past year, thanks to some math that Forbes kindly did. In April it was business services (75,000), retail trade (35,000) and construction (32,000) jobs that led the way.
In case you're looking for handy, easily digestible charts from the just-released jobs report, Quartz has some with highlights.
Don't miss the jobs report buzz! Follow us on Twitter @CBforEmployers and live tweet with us starting at 8:30 a.m. EST on the first Friday of every month as part of #JobsFriday.
Did you miss the January and February and March jobs report breakdown? It's never too late to catch up on some economy-related reading.

This is a divisional application of Ser. No. 07/477,330 filed Feb. 8, 1990, U.S. Pat. No. 4,958,467.
This invention is related generally to the construction of concrete block for building walls, and more particularly to an improved concrete block, apparatus and method of manufacture of the improved concrete block which includes an inspection hole formed in one side wall of the concrete block.
Presently, building walls are typically fabricated of precast concrete block which is permanently secured atop foundations, footings or concrete slabs by interconnecting the building wall to steel reenforcement rods which have been previously embedded into and upwardly extend from these foundations. The reinforcement rods extend upwardly from these foundations a short distance into one of the cavities of one or more of the concrete blocks in the first or second lowest row of concrete blocks. However, an extension of these reinforcements is permanently secured by wiring or welding to the reinforcement rods embedded in the foundation. Thereafter, the column of cavities aligned in successive rows of concrete blocks forming the building wall is filled with concrete to effect a permanent rigid connection between the foundation and the concrete block wall around the reinforcements.
Prior to filling the continuous series of cavities which surround each upwardly extending reinforcement rod and its extension, a building inspector is generally required to insure that the connection between the reinforcement rod embedded and extending from the foundation is properly and permanently connected to the upward extension thereof. This inspection requires that an inspection hole be hammered or cut through at least one side wall of the concrete block within which the reinforcement connection is positioned. After inspection, the inspection hole must be damned prior to concrete being poured into the cavity column surrounding the reinforcement rod.
Presently, the on-site construction team which is fabricating the building walls requiring these inspection holes normally either hammers a hole through the side wall in each particular block which surrounds the reinforcement rod and its upward extension or uses a power circular saw to slice away that side wall portion, thus completely exposing the cavity. Utilizing either of these presently available techniques, many concrete blocks are broken and are thus rendered useless prior to or in conjunction with handling during their installation. When this occurs, the modified block must be discarded and another one selected for use.
The present invention provides an improved concrete block, apparatus and method of manufacturing the improved concrete block which includes an arch-shaped hole formed by boring through one side wall into one cavity whereby at least a portion of the side wall along one edge margin thereof is left in tact so as to maintain the overall integrity of the block and also so as to provide a quicker and more effective way to produce modified blocks for use in this inspection process.
This invention is directed to a modified concrete block, apparatus and method of manufacture for making the concrete block which includes a bored arch-shaped inspection hole formed through one side wall into one cavity of the concrete block. The inspection hole, used for inspecting reinforcements within the cavity prior to filling with concrete, is formed by the apparatus and in accordance with the method of manufacture by boring a circular hole through the side wall at an acute angle to he side wall in alignment with one cavity. The hole, generally equal in diameter to the length of the cavity, is offset so that it extends from through one edge margin of the side wall toward, but not to, the other side margin of the side wall.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a modified precast concrete block having a bored arch-shaped inspection hole formed through one side wall into one cavity of the concrete block.
It is another object of this invention to provide an apparatus for making the above modified concrete block.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide a method of manufacturing the above modified concrete block.
In accordance with these and other objects which will become apparent hereinafter, the instant invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the prior art technique of forming an inspection hole in a precast concrete block.
FIG. 2 is a side elevation section view of the apparatus and the modified concrete block.
FIG. 3 is a lower perspective schematic view of the modified concrete block with respect to other concrete blocks shown in phantom in a building wall.
FIG. 4 is a section view in the direction of arrows 4--4 in FIG. 2.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of one of a plurality of concrete block support arms and indexing means of the apparatus shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 6 is a section view in the direction of arrows 6--6 in FIG. 5.
FIG. 7 is a section view in the direction of arrows 7--7 in FIG. 5.
FIG. 8 is a section view in the direction of arrows 8--8 in FIGS. 2 and 4 with the boring device in its lowered position having modified the concrete block.
Referring now to the drawings, and particularly to FIG. 1, the prior art technique of modification to a conventional concrete block B is there shown in conjunction with providing visual inspection of reinforcing rod R. The concrete block B is typically precast concrete and includes longitudinal side walls S held apart by parallel transverse walls W and interior partition P. Prior to filling cavity C with poured concrete, an inspector must determine that the interconnection of the reinforcing rod R to the foundation atop which the concrete block building wall is to be constructed is adequate. Inspection is facilitated prior to placement of the block B by either hammering a hole D into the side wall S in alignment with cavity C or, alternately, using a power circular saw to slice the side wall along E and F so as to completely remove that portion of the side wall S. In either event, the likelihood of breaking and rendering each concrete block B so modified is considerable, thus substantially increasing both labor and material costs.
Referring now to FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 8, the apparatus for producing the modified concrete block 40 is shown generally at numeral 10. The apparatus 10 generally includes a support means 12 for the concrete blocks B and a power drill motor 16 inter-connected to the concrete block support means 12 by frame 14. The support means 12 includes a plurality of elongated channel support arms 52 which are connected and radially extend from hub plate 50. Hub plate 50 is mounted for rotation on bearing 60 which is connected atop frame 14 as shown in FIG. 2.
Each support arm 52 is sized to receive one concrete block B in longitudinal fashion as shown thereatop and oriented as will be described herebelow, the entire arrangement rotatable upon bearing 60. A guard ring 58 is provided so that the operator is kept clear of the rotating support arms 52. End plates 56 are provided so as to accurately position each concrete block B for boring as will be herebelow described.
Separate and apart from the concrete block support means 12, the preferred embodiment of the remainder of the apparatus, including motor 16, extension 20, diamond core bit 18, all supported on carriage 22 which in turn is slidably supported on column assembly 24 which, in turn, is pivotally connected at 26 on base plate 14, is collectively known commercially as a diamond coring system. The embodiment utilized by applicant in the present invention is Model DCMII manufactured by the Hilti Corporation of Tulsa, Okla. The particular diamond core bit 18 utilized by applicant is Item No. P.M. 5-00 by the Hilti Corporation, having a five inch (5") nominal bit diameter. These diamond core bits include impregnated industrial diamond material in the cutting edge in a well known fashion. In operation, the operator rotates feed handle 28, moving motor 16 up and down on rack 34 connected to column assembly 24. Water for cooling the coring bit 18 and for facilitating its cutting action is introduced through inlet 36 connectable to a water source for discharge out coring bit 18 in the direction of the arrows. Stop nuts 30 control the downward travel of motor 16.
As best seen in FIG. 8, the axis of the coring bit 18, shown with respect to concrete block B in its final position after cutting, is oriented at an angle A with respect to the side walls S. Coring bit 18 is of a diameter generally equal to the length of cavity C as best seen in FIGS. 2 and 4. The coring bit 18 is offset with respect to the height of side wall S such that, upon fully completing the cutting cycle, portion 42a of side wall S is removed, thus forming arch 42 into the side wall S whereby a portion 42b of that side wall S remains intact.
Although the coring bit 18 may fully cut the cylindrical hole 42 through side wall S, it is preferred to stop the cutting short as shown in FIG. 8, whereupon a fracture occurs at 38 freeing side wall portion 42a for removal. By allowing side wall S to fracture through at 38, even more cross sectional strength remains at 42b while still providing a full arched hole for inspection. Because a clean cylindrical cut is made, the strength of side wall portion 42b is substantial in either event as contemplated by this invention. Both embodiments of the arched inspection hole are thus designated as "cylindrical".
Referring additionally to FIG. 3, the final form of the concrete block of the present invention is shown generally at numeral 40. Arched cylindrical hole 42, formed completely during one cutting pass of coring bit 18 is there depicted with respect to cavity C. As may now be more clearly understood, the arched hole 42, fully as wide as cavity C, is sufficiently sized for inspection of interior reinforcing rods as previously described. However, the portion 42b of the side wall S above the arched hole 42 remains, thus maintaining the full overall rectangular integrity and handling strength of the modified concrete block 40.
Referring now to FIGS. 5, 6 and 7, the detent mechanism for insuring proper alignment of each support arm 52 on rotatable hub 50 with regard to the vertical axis of coring bit 18 is there shown. A support block 62 is connected atop base 14 such that the lowest edge 66 of support arm 52 is supported atop surface 74 so as to properly resist the downward boring force required to be exerted against the concrete block B to form hole 42. In order to insure proper alignment of each channel member 52 for accurate placement of each bored hole in the concrete blocks B, grooved block 64 is provided which is movable up and down on shaft 68 in the direction of the arrow against a compression spring 72 within housing 70. Block 64 includes groove 76 ramped on either side thereof as best seen in FIG. 7 so that edge 66 of each channel member 52 may slidably move into position during boring and then continue onward around to the next successive stage where the finished block 40 is removed thereafter.
It is here noted that, within the scope of this invention, the support arms 50 may also be oriented horizontally but at 90 degrees to the radial positioning shown whereby each support arm is tangent to the guard ring 58 or any imaginary horizontal circle concentric with the axis of bearing 60. Such a support arm configuration would facilitate sliding each concrete block from one end of the repositioned support arm to the other whereby access holes could be bored into each cavity of any given concrete block.
While the instant invention has been shown and described herein in what are conceived to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is recognized that departures may be made therefrom within the scope of the invention, which is therefore not to be limited to the details disclosed herein, but is to be afforded the full scope of the claims so as to embrace any and all equivalent apparatus and articles.

Hi dude, I have finished a Lucozade add recently.
I wanted to share with you and have your feedback on that.
This was 4 weeks project and 20 shot to be done. So quite a tight deadline.
but, what I have concluded from this project is: We know fluid simulations slow but, if you have the right team and proper working structure in the early stages of your project then you could get a lot of shots done.

Great hotel just opposite the station. This hotel is within walking distance to absolutely everything. No need to get a cab - a short walk from the station and you are right at the door of the hotel!

The Holy Grail and Smotherings in Valenthia !
Hi Family and Friends
I am alive and well and living in Valencia. Spain's third largest city and the largest port on the Mediterranean (I didn't know that). What can I say? It just keeps getting better and when you think nothing can be as good as the last place, along comes the next. Everyone in the group already has an affinity for Valencia and should we get to the soccer on Saturday, even though in Barcelona, the Aussie in me is already on the side of the ...
Barcelona to Valencia
... our only full day in Valencia. On arrival with the help of a google maps screen shot on our iPad mini we find the hotel in about 15 minutes with only a couple of hiccups. Glad Grant is good with maps but men don't like asking for directions. That's when I step in if Grant gets lost or goes in circles. My sense of direction is terrible but I ask for help when I need too. The hotel excelsior is very nice. Executive business hotel, 24 hour desk & really ...
... sometimes you hear something that makes you feel so physically sick, you wonder if anything or anyone is actually sane. The most frightening part of the plane monstrosity, is that not a single person had any significant knowledge that something on such a vast scale would happen; nor does anybody else have any idea of the day that lies ahead of them when they get out of bed in the morning. Check in as normal, have occasional doubts as normal, yet nothing could prepare anyone for ...
A Few of My Favorite Things Part I - Spain
... It felt a bit like a smaller Barcelona. The buildings were shorter and seeing so much blue sky was marvelous. My beau and two of our friends and I hopped a train for a long weekend and rented out an apartment through a popular website called AirBNB. We got in quite late on Halloween, dropped our stuff in the flat and made our way to dinner. After a lovely meal al fresco the waiter brought four drinks in shot glasses. Being the overeager group of ...

... can't afford to eat out.
Well, I'm glad to be done with classes early. I have plenty of time before dinner. We're eating a bit earlier than the Spanish would. We do have morning classes after all. So hopefully no reservation is no problem. There are many joints to choose from, so I'm not worried about having no reservations. It's not like today's a Friday or a Saturday.
My Spanish is progressing at a much slower pace than I'd like. The ...

In recent years, we've watched FDA struggle with regulating new technologies, such as regenerative medicine, medical mobile apps, and even social media. And we know FDA continues to scrutinize advertising and promotional activities, especially those that appear to promote off-label use.
We're also seeing a significant increase in foreign manufacturing facility inspections, Import Alerts, and related Warning Letters
We stay on top of these trends so that we can help clients proactively identify and avoid problems that could disrupt their business. We advise our clients on issues from product development and clinical research, to commercialization and compliance programs. We know first-hand how and why FDA takes enforcement actions and how best to respond, whether it be a voluntary recall or a response to a 483 or Warning Letter, or even a seizure or injunction.
And while we provide advice on a full range of technologies, we have particular experience in cutting-edge technologies, such as stem cell therapies and other cellular and tissue-based products, pharmacogenomics, wireless and mobile medical devices, companion diagnostics, and new biotech products.
Our FDA group works closely with our other Life Sciences practice groups to help clients comply with a panoply of complex laws and regulations carrying both civil and criminal penalties, including those enforced by the FTC, SEC, PTO, USDA, and DEA.

I've been searching Google and StackOverflow exhaustively and cannot find this. Maybe I'm missing something obvious. Thanks!
(This is because the Java implementation of the preview callback [even with buffer] is too inefficient.)
I made a little investigation on topic. This presentation (from p.277, Chinese) helped a lot.
Camera preview call chain
As others mentioned, you can get a buffer using a
As you can see 2
Preview surface
However, when you set a preview surface using either
Java class
But this API is hidden. See i.e. this question for a way to use it.
There is no public API to do what you want; the only official (that is, guaranteed to work) method is the Java-level preview callbacks set up through calling Camera.setPreviewCallback(). In Android > 3.0, you can also use Camera.setPreviewTexture() to route preview data to the GPU, and process it there using GLES (or read it back to the CPU). The GPU path is what the ICS AOSP camera application uses for its video effects.
Presumably, OpenCV and others have looked through the Android framework native code, and have bypassed the Java Camera API, talking to the services below directly.
This is fairly dangerous, because there is absolutely no guarantee that those interfaces won't change between Android versions, since they are not part of the public API. Using them may be fine now, and then when a user upgrades their device, your app will stop working.
Have you taken a look at OpenCV for Android. Their advanced tutorials show how to use JNI and there is a NativeProcessor object in their camera package.

Experts probe Algerian crash
PARIS — Aviation experts, criminal investigators and soldiers began converging Friday on an isolated patch of restive Mali to search for clues that might explain why an Air Algerie jetliner fell from the sky in a storm and apparently disintegrated on impact.
French authorities said the catastrophe was probably the result of extreme bad weather, but they refused to exclude other possibilities, like terrorism, without a full investigation. All 118 people aboard the plane were killed.
The loss of flight 5017 wiped out whole families. Nearly half of the dead were French. The passenger list included other Europeans, Canadians and Africans. The six crew members were Spanish.
One man pleaded with French officials not to hold back any information about the crash that killed his brother and other family members.
"Tell us. Especially give us an explanation," Amadou Ouedraogo asked on BFM-TV.
French authorities planned to meet Saturday with victims' families.

There was no clear reason for the latest slide in the value of the rial, which is traded in an informal market of money changers, where ordinary Iranians go to access hard currencies.
September 30, 2012 9:16 by Reuters
The Iranian rial slumped on Saturday to a historic low against the U.S. dollar, according to Iranian media and currency tracking websites.
The rial fell by 3.6 percent and was trading at about 27,900 per dollar, compared with about 26,920 on Thursday and about 26,200 on Wednesday, according to Persian-language currency tracking website Mazanex. Another financial site, Mesghal.ir, had the rial at about 27,650 to the dollar on Saturday.
There was no clear reason for the latest slide in the value of the rial, which is traded in an informal market of money changers, where ordinary Iranians go to access hard currencies.
Previous falls have coincided with new sanctions or diplomatic isolation of Iran over its contested nuclear programme, suspected by the U.S. and its allies of being aimed at obtaining a nuclear weapon. Iran denies this, but has faced successive rounds of stricter sanctions in the last two years.
Iranians rush to money changers to convert their savings into dollars, depressing the value of the rial.
The rial has seen a steep loss in value against the dollar in the last year. In June 2011, it was trading at about 12,000 to the dollar, or more than twice its value now, according to Mesghal.
Earlier this week the Iranian government established a new three-tiered currency system meant to restore stability to the rial but which does not appear to have allayed market concerns.
The system, along with a new "exchange centre," allows importers of priority goods like meat and grains to buy dollars at the official "reference" rate of 12,260 rials to the dollar.
Importers of other basic goods are allowed to buy dollars at a "non-reference" rate 2 percent less than the open market value of the rial on any given day. On Thursday, that rate was 23,927 rials to the dollar,Iran's central bank said.
The central bank said in a statement on its website that $34 million had been traded in the exchange centre in its first week.
The central bank's deputy for foreign exchange affairs, Minoo Kiani-Rad, said the exchange centre would in time help stabilise the rial, according to a statement on the central bank's website on Saturday.
"We must allow some time for the activity of this foreign exchange centre to continue so that real demands can be answered and the pressures on the open market can be diminished," Kiani-Rad said. "In this case, there is no reason for a rise in the exchange rate."

Odd regulator behaviour?
So today I finally got a little area fixed up with my F1 Chrony I bought a few months back and my ABS pipe target. Chroned a few of my toys to test it out.
On one autococker with a WGP Black Magic reg I found some odd behaviour. I'd get three shots that would move up in velocity in small steps from around 285 to around 295 and then the fourth shot would be down around 250 to 260. Then the next around 283 to 285 and it would work up to the low to mid 290's again then BAM! back to the mid to high 250's range again. It was pretty consistent with 4 to 5 shots before it would drop back. I tested it over about 25 balls. And it isn't the rate of fire. I was shooting and checking the velocity so it was only about 1 bps. So there's not a recovery issue at work here.
Any thoughts on this? Any way to clean or adjust it to be more consistent?
On a more general note I'm really finding that paintball regulators are generally utter crap. As a scuba diver where regs can consistenty maintain very small variations in pressure the lack of ability with our paintball regs is really dissapointing.
I recently had a Palmers Stabilizer for a little while. Testing it on my very crude pressure output checking setup showed that it was really bad in terms of pressure consistency when I'd crack and close the little valve that simulates a firing of a marker. And given Palmer's rep I found that this was truly odd. Mind you it was only one example and I only had it for a short time as I was acting as a middle man on the shipping.
I had a "Paintball God" moment once.
Like Al Bundy's Polk High football moment I live on
for the slim chance of repeating that one time
miracle in some small way.........

Clean and re-oil the regulator and you may see better performance, but you may also want to check the rest of the system (i.e., the marker) for other possible causes of velocity fluctuations.
Also, have you sweetspotted the valve? If you have the reg really close to overpressurizing the valve, then a spike in pressure (due to dirt, lack of oil, whatever) could cause the cocker's mail valve to overpressurize for that one shot, causing the velocity to drop drastically.
Everybody: Let's ease up on the red loctite, 'kay? Thanks.

I have two cockers and swapped components between them for aesthetics.
My favorite gun (Black Magic) wasn't very consistent, so I swapped its chrome reg for the black one from my stocker. No improvement to the Black Magic's consistency. I just figured "it is what it is".
This weekend I finally got around to finishing and sweetspotting the stocker with the Black Magic's old regulator. It was rock solid. 275, 273, 274, etc., performance I've never seen on any marker before. Ever.
I think I've got some valve work to do.

It was funny due to the consistency of the 3 to 4 shots being high and then the sudden one shot dip of 30 to 40 fps.
It was a purely preliminary exercise with no time available for work or further testing. Hint..... when you do the laundry make SURE the tub stopper is taken back out after you wash your paintball guns and barrels. Leaving the plug in the sink really dampens your day's activity..... grrrrrrrrrr.

Indeed, a recent report compiled by the Association of Public Health Observatories found that 29 per cent of adults in the area are obese.
This is double the European average of 14 per cent and well above the lowest UK rate of 18 per cent, recorded in the south east.
Professor John Wilkinson, who authored the report, said that even the south-east is lagging behind.
He said: "The fine grading of the report shows that in areas where we think we are doing better in terms of obesity, such as the south-east region, we are still actually far behind areas such as Scandinavia.
"The findings demonstrate that even in parts of the UK where we think we are doing quite well there's a long way to go."

I'm trying to calculate the total height of subviews in a UIScrollView:
[self.subviews valueForKeyPath:@"bounds.size.@sum.height"];
But that throws the following:
'NSUnknownKeyException', reason: '[<NSConcreteValue 0x4b10170> valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key size.'
I've tried placing the
@sum operator in various places in that path, all with the same result.
Of course I could just do this with a loop, but I'm specifically curious about the KVC solution -- I assume it's possible and I'm just doing it wrong. What's the proper path?

We had a wonderful experience!

Kuwait could ban nearly 100,000 of its residents from leaving the country for failing to pay dues owed to the state, local newspaper reported, quoting a senior Justice Ministry official.
The policy is part of a government plan to collect nearly 12 million Kuwaiti dinars ($42.6 million) in fees for the use of state services, or as fines in felony and misdemeanour cases, Thursday's edition of the Kuwait Times quoted Mohammad al-Duaij as saying.
From Jan. 2, the state will automatically start blacklisting people who owe money, he said, adding that the ban would be imposed using a court order and come into effect 90 days later.
It could be lifted following payment of the dues or for humanitarian reasons, he said. Daily al-Rai newspaper said the ban applied to Kuwaiti nationals and foreign residents.

Belmont business college taps Robinson for external relations work
Belmont University announced today it has named Jill Robinson director of external relations and of the Executive Learning Network program, both for the BU College of Business Administration.
Named the 2013 Young Leader of the Year by Young Leaders Council, Robinson has worked at Belmont since 2005, primarily in program oversight and marketing with the university's Center for Executive Education. In her new role, she will secure and manage corporate and CEO relationships in the greater Nashville business community, resulting in both an expansion of Executive Learning Network and a coordinated outreach effort to all key business school relationships and partners, Belmont said in a release.
A graduate of Samford University with a B.A. degree in graphic design and of Trevecca University with both a M.B.A degree and a M.A. degree in organizational management, Robinson offers more than 18 years of experience in leadership program management, community relations, volunteer management and organization partnerships.
In addition to her work since 2007 with the Center for Executive Education, Robinson previously served for two years as Belmont's senior university events coordinator. She also worked six years at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in a variety of roles, including director of development.
Robinson will report directly to College of Business Administration Dean Dr. J. Patrick Raines.
"Jill will continue her leadership of the Executive Learning Network program, fostering a community of learning among the executive members in Middle Tennessee," Rains said in the release. "As dean, I'm excited to have her work alongside our team in the College of Business Administration to build more relationships with area businesses in our community."
