JONNY COOL ON CARDIFF; Millennium Bug Is Not an Issue for Fearless Sexton on Welsh Return
Byline: by SHANE McGRATH
YEP, Jonny Sexton confirms, he has played just the once in the Millennium Stadium. You might recall the occasion; it was just two months ago. The exact date was Saturday, March 12. The details of the day don't need retelling. They will long stay vivid in the memories of Irish rugby supporters.
'Yeah, that was my first game there,' Sexton nodded yesterday. 'Obviously, I'll have learned from that ... that the touchlines are a little closer than I thought! But, no, that will stand to me playing there, I know the surroundings, I know the pitch, what it looks like and that will help my preparations.' A man can pan positives out of the most difficult waters. Sexton came off the bench for Ireland in the Six Nations against Wales, a game now infamous on account of Mike Phillips' brazenly illegal try. Phillips galloped across the Irish try-line from a lineout throw taken quickly by Matthew Rees.
The Welsh hooker had used a different ball from the one that went out of play, of course, but focus on the ball rather than the offence for a moment. Wales had won a lineout in the first place because Sexton's first act on replacing Ronan O'Gara in the 49th minute of the contest was to slice a kick into touch, on the full. Hence the Welsh lineout, and the chaos that ensued.
The details are not being reprised to taunt Sexton; it is a measure of the fly-half's mental fortitude that he raises them himself. This should come as no surprise, however.
A week after his experiences in Cardiff -- he missed a very kickable penalty after that first wobble -- he was picked to start against England and was superb. He has been superb for Leinster all term, too, and was lively against Ulster last Friday night.
That is noteworthy because he has been bothered by a leg injury for the past two weeks that left him well below optimum fitness in the semi-final.
'I hurt my leg about two weeks ago,' he confessed.
'It was a couple of days after the Toulouse game. I just hurt it in training, so I didn't train really before the Ulster semi-final. I just literally turned up and it felt good on the day so we went for it. But I was probably at about 90 per cent.
'I was nearly there but I didn't really try to put the foot down. It was my left leg, though, not the kicking one.'
Healthy for the final, he can concentrate on the Millennium Stadium. Judging by his rueful account of what he learned on his first visit, there are no mental issues for the player or Joe Schmidt to worry about. Instead, he can worry about the practicalities of the day.
When it comes to the Millennium Stadium, the first and most pressing of these is the roof. The player himself reports that no decision has yet been taken on whether it will be open or closed.
As with the Six Nations, he says, both coaches must agree if it is to be open.
'If the roof is open, I think it's such an enclosed stadium it wouldn't make a difference either way with the wind,' he reasoned. 'Obviously if it's raining, we would like it closed but at the same time when it's closed it can get a bit dewy and greasy so I don't know really, I haven't been there when the roof has been closed.
'But we've got plenty of lads in the team who have: they obviously played in the Grand Slam match a few years ago when the roof was closed. The atmosphere apparently was unbelievable but it does create very little air, it's harder to breathe and it's very greasy so it can have some bad effects as well.'
Still just 25, this will be Sexton's second Heineken Cup final in three seasons. …

David Murdock Wants You to Live Forever
In a struggling North Carolina mill town, the billionaire is spending a fortune to help himself — and others — avoid the diseases of aging
En español l "I think anyone who wants to live past 100 can do it," says billionaire businessman David Murdock. This brash pronouncement is surprising for someone with Murdock's family history; he has lost many loved ones before their time. Murdock's mother died of cancer at age 42, and two of his three children died before they reached 40. His two siblings died in their 60s. And Gabriele, his beloved third wife and the mother of his children, died of ovarian cancer at 43.
Brain Quiz: Your brain is 60 percent fat. True or False?
Yet these losses have not dimmed Murdock's hopes of living long and living well. If anything, they have fueled them. Murdock — a self-made real estate titan who chairs the board of Dole Food Company — just turned 90, and he believes that the nutrients in fruits, vegetables, seeds and husks hold the key to longevity. "I never think about age at all," he says, sitting on a red silk couch in his two-story Manhattan apartment overlooking Central Park. "I just think about what I eat."
Subscribe to the AARP Health Newsletter
Murdock's marble-topped coffee table is strewn with books on nutrition. His zealous faith in the power of healthy eating has become his own personal gospel. And now that gospel is guiding his life's great mission: to help science defeat death, and to resurrect a dying town in the process.
Over coffee mellowed with almond milk, Murdock, the country's 213th- richest man, admits that he wasn't always a healthy eater. "I used to think nothing of eating a quart of whipped cream on top of strawberries," he says. But when German-born Gabriele, a painter and patron of the arts, was diagnosed with cancer in 1983, he reconsidered. During the year and a half the couple spent at the Mayo Clinic while Gabriele endured radiation, chemotherapy and surgery — her lush brown hair thinning and her luminous skin turning ashen — Murdock grasped for ways to help her survive, including serving her more fresh foods. Eventually he came to suspect that a healthier diet might have prevented her illness. After Gabriele died in 1985, Murdock turned his grief into a quest to discover all he could about nutrition.
As he read books and interviewed researchers, Murdock changed his diet dramatically. He eliminated red meat — "the kiss of death," as he calls it — and then chicken, too, because they contain saturated fat. Dairy with saturated fat came next. "If someone paid me a million dollars to drink a glass of milk, I wouldn't do it," says the self-described perfectionist, adding cheekily, "maybe that's because I don't need the money." (Murdock bought his first business, a Detroit diner, at age 22 with $1,200 in borrowed money and sold it 18 months later for a $700 profit. Now, after a lifetime of buying, building and selling, his net worth is estimated at $2.4 billion.)
While Murdock was eliminating animal products from his diet, he was also piling on the plants — and not just the parts that the rest of us eat. He consumes every bit of a fruit or vegetable, especially the rinds, because he is convinced that "anything the sun touches has nutritional value in it." Cucumber skins and celery leaves go straight down the hatch; banana peels and pineapple leaves get tossed in the blender for a smoothie. He still eats fish, and occasionally those smoothies also include shrimp tails or sardines with bones.
If seeing is believing, Murdock's unusual diet is paying off. His complexion is bright, his eyes are clear, and he rises from that lavish sofa without effort. His pinstripe suit loosely drapes his 5-foot-8-inch frame, with the most minor of love handles interrupting an otherwise taut physique. Murdock rises by 4:30 a.m. and exercises daily — though "I don't think I twist enough," he says, his voice gravelly but forceful, as if he's issuing a command. And his mind is sharp. "I can memorize five pages of balance sheets," he says — a compensation for his lifelong dyslexia. Occasionally he'll admit to not remembering something. "But," he jokes, "that's usually just an excuse to avoid something."
Inspired by his findings on how nutrition can improve health, Murdock went on to coauthor an encyclopedic book on the subject with professionals from the Mayo Clinic and UCLA in 2001. But apart from that, he limited his proselytizing on healthy eating to friends and family. He never expected to create an entire research facility that would serve as a pulpit for his views. But, due to an accident of real estate, that is what happened.
Next page: One of the most diverse research sites in the world. »
From 1982 until 1986, Murdock owned Cannon Mills, a sheet and towel manufacturer in western North Carolina. When he bought the company, he also acquired downtown Kannapolis, a quaint row of shops and restaurants; about 2,200 rental houses; and Pity's Sake, a sprawling lodge on the outskirts of town. He owned several mansions by then — as well as 98 percent of the Hawaiian island Lanai. When he sold the textile business, he held on to Kannapolis' shops and rental housing, as well as Pity's Sake.
In 2003 the mill's owner declared the company unable to compete with overseas manufacturers and closed. In the largest layoff in North Carolina history, 4,340 people in Kannapolis lost their jobs overnight. With no industry to replace textile manufacturing, the downtown quickly became a ghost town. "There was absolutely no hope," recalls Ryan Dayvault, a Kannapolis native whose great-great-grandfather owned the farmland upon which the textile mills were built.
Unless someone could revive the mill property, Murdock's investments in Kannapolis would be close to worthless, and his lodge, Pity's Sake, would be marooned in a sea of economic despair. That lodge held precious memories — not only of Gabriele, but of their eldest son, Eugene, who had died at age 23 in a pool accident in the late 1980s. Pity's Sake had been the family's favorite place to celebrate holidays. "North Carolina was where you could have Thanksgiving and feel like it was Thanksgiving," Murdock remembers.
So when the bankrupt company's main mill complex came up for auction, Murdock wanted it. He put together a preliminary bid in the spring of 2004 and began working to iron out the details. Then, in October, Murdock's middle son, David Jr., died in a car accident at age 36. Murdock was shattered, but his plans were already in motion, and in December 2004 he won the main mill property with a bid of $6.375 million. (His youngest son, Justin, 39, works as a director of Dole and CEO of NovaRx, a pharmaceutical company in which father and son together have invested at least $35 million.)
Murdock has little to say about his personal tragedies, acknowledging only the duration of his crippling grief. "When my wife died, I couldn't work for a year," he says. "First son, another year. Second son, another year."
For the tycoon, redeveloping the mill site became more than a way to shore up his real estate interests. In his latest sorrow, it became a reason to live, according to Lynne Scott Safrit, president of North American commercial operations for Castle & Cooke, Murdock's real estate holdings company. "I think this project gave him motivation to get back up on the horse again," says Safrit, a Kannapolis native who began working for Murdock in the 1980s. "Losing his family has given him an inner drive to do something for other people."
But exactly what Murdock should do with the land was a mystery. During many late nights at Pity's Sake, he and Safrit tossed around ideas. A hospital? Senior housing? A country club? None of it seemed quite right. Finally, they asked, "What is North Carolina good at?"
The answer was clear: science. With its renowned Research Triangle Park — 150 miles east of Kannapolis — and a collection of esteemed universities throughout the state, North Carolina is the third-largest life sciences center in the country, after Massachusetts and California. Murdock's vision quickly fell into place. He would create lab space for researchers from the state's major universities, connect those researchers to scientists from the agriculture industry who could turn their discoveries into products, and provide affordable health care to locals. The campus's purpose: to discover plants' life-giving powers and deliver them to people.
Six hundred million dollars later, that vision is a reality. Opened in 2008, the North Carolina Research Campus (NCRC) spans 350 acres, with more than a million square feet of labs and offices housed in 11 Georgian-style buildings on curving brick walkways. More than 15 academic institutions, companies and health care outlets maintain a presence there, making it one of the most diverse research sites in the world.
Next page: Superfoods and reducing risk of chronic disease. »
Much of the work at NCRC is focused on investigating "superfoods" such as berries, ginger and broccoli to discover how they reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Some labs at NCRC are pioneering the field of nutrigenomics, the study of how genes affect nutrition and vice versa. Most NCRC research is funded by the scientists' home institutions, but one effort is funded by Murdock himself: a project to catalog DNA in 50,000 blood and urine samples from citizens in Kannapolis and surrounding Cabarrus County. Researchers hope to discover genetic connections among diseases and develop new ways of treating and preventing them. The study is called "Measurement to Understand the Reclassification of Disease of Cabarrus/Kannapolis (MURDOCK)." So far, Murdock has donated $35 million to the effort — enough to keep it running for 10 to 15 years. He visits its office regularly, and "he's very hands-on," says Ashley Dunham, Ph.D., of the Duke University Translational Medicine Institute, who directs the study. "His favorite thing is to go out to community groups" to urge locals to donate their DNA to the cause.
At a time when the feds are cutting back on research funding, this investment has garnered praise nationwide. "Murdock wants to give big bucks to see good research done," says Jeffrey Blumberg, Ph.D., an expert in nutrigenomics and professor of nutrition science and policy at Tufts University in Boston. NCRC scientists "have an opportunity to make a significant contribution," he says.
Researchers admit that close ties between industry and academia need to be monitored, so companies don't try to distort findings that threaten their bottom lines. But so far, NCRC's setup has raised few eyebrows. "As long as the private sector doesn't have the capability to silence individual findings, I think it's exciting," says James Simon, Ph.D., who directs the New Use Agriculture and Natural Plant Products Program at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
If NCRC may one day improve lives around the world, it is also beginning to do so closer to home. Kannapolis, a city of about 43,000, is still struggling. NCRC currently employs only 300 locals, a far cry from the thousands who worked in textiles. But 300 people per day attend a community college that Murdock built as part of NCRC, where they are gaining the training needed to compete for skilled jobs on campus. Safrit projects that NCRC will eventually employ 5,000 people — an even mix of locals and transplants. The campus's growth may be the kiss that awakens the still-slumbering downtown, as more staff means more business for local shops.
Some Kannapolis residents do resent the tycoon who's bought up the scenery, but most seem accepting, especially because the town has been in wealthy hands since J. W. Cannon of Cannon Mills started building it more than 100 years ago. "I get tired of hearing the comment that one man shouldn't own the town," says Larry Newton, who has lived in Kannapolis most of his life. "This town has always been owned by one person." Having watched younger locals move away for lack of jobs, Newton welcomes the infusion of capital — and hope. "There needs to be something new," he says.
Encouraging signs abound. Construction on the campus, stalled after the 2008 stock market crash (which cut Murdock's fortune almost in half), has restarted. The research labs have begun hiring again. The nascent campus — still looking unfinished, without the lush trees and ivy that usually surround academia — is coming to life.
Murdock was married twice before he wed Gabriele and has been married twice since. (He has been through three divorces and one other bereavement.) When he talks about Gabriele, he still calls her "my wife," though she has been gone now for 28 years, a decade longer than they were married. He still regrets the steaks, the whipped cream and the other rich foods he believes contributed to Gabriele's illness. But rather than just endure his remorse, he says, "I decided I would do something about it."
That something was grand. For the domed ceiling of the 311,000-square-foot David H. Murdock Core Laboratory, Murdock commissioned a mural of brightly hued fruits and vegetables, buttressed by an eagle. At Forty Six, a restaurant named for the number of human chromosomes, the walls bear his favorite sayings. Socrates: "Wisdom begins in wonder." Murdock himself: "In order to do the impossible, you must see the invisible."
For all his extravagant pronouncements, though, Murdock seems to see himself as a simple man who wants to help. "I didn't need all my money, so I decided I'll spend it for science," he says matter-of-factly. "I'm interested in keeping myself alive forever, and so I want to look after other people the same way I look after myself."

Editor's Desk
David and Dan
Luckily, not every political columnist comes off as mushy as David Broder.
IF IT FEELS GOOD, BUY IT: You know what the problem is with some Washington journalists? Under a headline like "An Idea Worth Stealing" they write paragraphs like this:
"Call it grand larceny, if you will, but it's still grand.
"I am referring not to Enron but to President Bush's enthusiastic embrace of community and national service for hundreds of thousands of Americans as a way to answer the question repeatedly asked since Sept. 11: What can I do to help?"
That's from David Broder, the respected dean of D.C.'s big feet, doing his belated best to keep up with Dan Rather, though in the name of something considerably less macho. Broder wants to do what he can to endorse the president's embrace of the same nice-sounding but cynically implemented ideas that gave us Bill Clinton's AmeriCorps and its oxymoronic paid volunteerism. Not that Broder seems even remotely aware of this side of the AmeriCorps story. What he likes especially about the Bush proposals are the possibilities it offers for further oxymoronic labels, such as requiring America's high-schoolers to perform even more forced volunteerism if they are to graduate.
That's the danger of writing high atop the national stage. Pretty soon you're believing and thinking become indistinguishable from the those of the posturing pols you're supposed to be covering with jaded eye. Even as you ignore the immense problems with the program, you wind up praising John McCain, say, for not only coming around on AmeriCorps, but also recognizing its "potential" and insisting it "should grow." And if you can no longer analyze soberly, you begin to sound like an Education bureaucrat, as when Broder writes about the "broad consensus" out there "on making community service an integral element of school and college curricula." Where would we be without integral elements?
WHY NOT THE BEST? Luckily, not every veteran political columnist comes off as mushy as David Broder. Of course, you might not find him in the same venues. For my money, one of the best out there is the Sacramento Bee's Dan Walters. Unless you follow California politics, his beat, you may not know about him. But you should. Several days a week he files sharply reported and clearly written copy without a single flabby idea or faux sentiment. He offers professionalism of the highest order, and he thinks for himself. Better than anyone, for instance, he cut through the post-Enron hysteria by raising a most interesting question: Why isn't wild-spending government subjected to the same accounting standards as Enron? A case in point is California's deficit-riddled state government led by embattled Gov. Gray Davis. Walters's analysis is as delicious as it is enlightening:
" As Enron was constructing its hollow corporate shell during the late 1990s, California was building its own fiscal house of cards, making billions of dollars in long-term spending commitments based on a short-term spike in income taxes. When those revenues vanished, the state was left with a $12 billion-plus hole in its budget, and Davis now wants to paper it over with some gimmickry that only an Enron executive could love.
"Davis wants spending reductions to cover just a fifth of the budget gap. The remainder would be bridged, if he has his way, through borrowings, direct and indirect, low-balling spending projections and maximizing forecasts of revenues over the next 18 months, including more than a billion dollars in federal aid that's nearly pure fiction.
"Davis even has a version of the off-the-books partnerships that Enron used to hide its liabilities: He wants the Public Employees' Retirement System and the State Teachers' Retirement System to forgo state contributions for a year in return for catch-up payments later. And he's borrowing heavily to cover the state's own questionable, semi-secret dealings in the energy market.
The governor is, in other words, minimizing liabilities and maximizing assets to paint as rosy a picture as he can, and just as Enron did it to buoy its stock price, so Davis is doing it to maintain his political standing in an election year.
"The indirect loans from the pension funds and other proposals are clearly part of a multibillion-dollar deficit financing scheme, but Davis insists that it's a 'responsible, prudent, balanced budget.' Yeah, and Ken Lay insisted to Enron employees that company stock was still a good deal for their retirement nest eggs even after he knew the firm was riddled with losses and was dumping his own holdings."
Didn't I tell you?

This test is used to determine someone's potential responsiveness to clopidogrel, an antiplatelet medication, before a person starts taking the drug or during the initial treatment phase. Clopidogrel is a drug that is prescribed to prevent strokes and heart attacks in people who are at increased risk for these serious cardiovascular events. The drug works by helping to prevent harmful blood clots from forming by preventing platelets from clumping together (aggregating).
Clopidogrel genotype testing is used to detect variation in the CYP2C19 gene that codes for one of the enzymes responsible for metabolizing clopidogrel into its active form. Variation in CYP2C19 is most often associated with reduced enzyme activity and decreased metabolism of clopidogrel, leading to a low level of active drug and potentially ineffective treatment for risk of blood clots. Testing for variants of the CYP2C19 gene is done to help tailor treatment. Those with certain genetic variations may require an alternative therapy that would treat their condition more effectively.
Clopidogrel-related genetic testing is not widely used at this time. Although studies have shown that CYP2C19 variation contributes to a person's responsiveness to clopidogrel, there is not yet consensus on the need for the testing. Part of the reason is that genetic variants of CYP2C19 explain only a small proportion of the treatment response variability among people.
^ Back to top
Clopidogrel resistance testing is primarily ordered prior to a person taking clopidogrel for the first time or during the initial treatment phase, but may also be ordered when a person who is being treated with the drug has experienced either excessive blood clotting or bleeding.
Not everyone who is prescribed clopidogrel will have this test done. At present, there is no consensus on the usefulness of this test and it is not yet widely accepted.
Results of genetic testing require careful interpretation. Typically, the laboratory report will include an explanation from a doctor with expertise in this area. A number of factors are taken into account when determining whether clopidogrel is an appropriate treatment for an individual.
In general, if a person has one or two variant copies of the gene, then they may have an altered response to clopidogrel. The degree of responsiveness depends upon the variation(s) present and upon the person. An individual may be a normal, poor, intermediate, extensive, or ultra-rapid metabolizer of the drug.
Not every laboratory will test for every gene variant. A less common gene variant may be present that is not detected by the test. A person may also have decreased drug metabolism due to another factor. CYP2C19 gene variation only accounts for a portion of a person's response to clopidogrel.
To increase awareness of the influence of the CYP2C19 gene variations and the availability of testing, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has promoted changes to the Plavix® (clopidogrel) label to inform consumers that genetic factors may affect how well the drug works for them.
The enzyme CYP2C19, coded for by the CYP2C19 gene, metabolizes a wide variety of drugs in addition to clopidogrel. Thus, if a person is taking clopidogrel plus one or more additional medications metabolized by CYP2C19, then that person may have altered metabolism of clopidogrel and the other drugs. One of the prominent examples of drugs that are metabolized by CYP2C19 is omeprazole that is taken to control stomach acid production. Others include diazepam, anti-seizure medications, and anti-depressants.
Testing to predict how someone will respond to a drug is a form of personalized medicine known as pharmacogenomics. It is a relatively new field of study developed in an effort to treat individuals' conditions effectively, yet avoid side effects.

Celebrities React to Supreme Court's Marriage Equality Ruling
Harry Styles, Anna Kendrick, Katy Perry and more stars react to the U.S. Supreme Court's historic decision.
Harry Styles, Anna Kendrick, Katy Perry and more stars react to the U.S. Supreme Court's historic decision.
Speculation that Harry Styles may be in talks to go solo and try his hand at acting has already begun.
Taylor Swift's highly anticipated "Style" music video is here. We repeat: TAYLOR SWIFT'S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED "STYLE" MUSIC VIDEO IS HERE.
Meghan Trainor has just revealed that she has a duet with Harry Styles and we can barely contain ourselves.
Further proof one should never underestimate the power of Directioners? Oh, just the fact that a tweet from Louis Tomlinson to Harry Styles has broken a major record.
When Taylor Swift puts out a song, everyone has an opinion: The music critic, the die-hard fan, the hater (who's gonna hate, hate hate) -- and yes, the person who inspired the track.
When One Direction sang, "You've got that one thing," they weren't kidding. The number one is a thing for the boys and not just because that's the chart position their albums often occupy! 1D's Harry Styles is reportedly working with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder.
Sounds like one member of One Direction wasn't a fan of Miley Cyrus' 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance. Harry Styles lashed out at twerking in general -- and since the craze has been largely associated with Miley since she adopted her new "urban" identity, this could possibly read as some subtle shade at the starlet.
One Direction fans in New York City got a little too overzealous with poor Harry Styles this week.
The 'Best Song Ever' singer was mobbed beyond comprehension outside of his hotel and almost had a meltdown -- but still kept his cool enough to engage with the very fans who terrified him.
We bet Directioners everywhere are cursing themselves for not being born a decade earlier. One Direction hottie Harry Styles was spotted on a date with Rod Stewart's 33-year-old daughter, Kimberly. Why?!
Taylor Swift and Harry Styles have been broken up so far almost as long as they were together, but that doesn't mean anyone's stopped talking about them. And now we know what comment caused the split in the first place.
Harry Styles of One Direction is an ink addict. The singer, recently split from Taylor Swift, has added to his ever-growing tattoo collection. His latest piece of art? A butterfly, smack dab in the middle of his chest, just below the nipples.

WASHINGTON -- On the evening of March 6 in Jerusalem, a heavily armed Palestinian terrorist from nearby east Jerusalem entered the Mercaz Harav yeshiva and opened fire on the unarmed teenage students studying there. Eight died, and 11 were badly wounded before another student and an off-duty soldier shot the terrorist. The atrocity ignited wild celebrations in Gaza.
If you thought that the celebrations were anomalous, you might want to know about recent findings just published by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, an independent polling organization based on the West Bank. According to its polls, 84 percent of Palestinians approved of this attack. Moreover, 64 percent approve of Hamas randomly firing rockets and mortars from Gaza into Israeli communities, and 75 percent favor ending negotiations between their leaders and the Israeli government.
In September 2005, Israel, in an irenic gesture, withdrew its military from Gaza, but since then, it has endured about 2,500 rocket attacks from Gaza and almost an equal number of mortar attacks. I wonder whether 64 percent of the Palestinians would approve if Israel began reciprocal random attacks on Gaza. What is the old line, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"?
Instead of lobbing artillery randomly, the Israel Defense Forces have attempted to counter Hamas' attacks with surgical strikes against their leaders and their rocket factories. However, Hamas' leaders nestle their headquarters and rocket factories in civilian neighborhoods, and civilians suffer collateral damage. That appears to have made Palestinians angry, and not at Hamas for its bellicosity but at Israel for responding to these cruel attacks. According to Khalil Shikaki, the Palestinian pollster who headed the aforementioned poll, never in the 15 years that the poll has been conducted has a majority of Palestinians favored rocket assaults on Israel or an end to negotiations. For handing over Gaza to the Palestinians, this is the thanks Israel has received. Now Palestinians want further Israeli withdrawals from the West Bank. One does not have to be a student of the late Niccolo Machiavelli to advise against further withdrawals. Shikaki's poll demonstrates that such withdrawals only make the Palestinians angrier.

10 jQuery and non-jQuery javascript Rich Text Editors. Introduction Javascript rich text editor has ease our life when we need to edit articles, post or even documents online.
Most of the editors allow user to edit the content straight away (What You See Is What You Get - WYSIWYG), it just like editting a document with microsoft office. Nowadays, I think all of the content management system, blog systems are using rich text editor. 20 Excellent Free Rich-Text Editors. Rich-text editors, also known as online rich-text editors, are web components that allow users to edit and enter text within a web browser.
Rich-text editors are used in numerous ways such as in enhancing your comment input form or as part of a web application that allows entry of user-generated and formatted content. Rich-text editors are essentially web-based WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") editors. There are many rich-text editors out there. What's even better than a lot of choices? Many of the best rich-text editors currently in the market are free. In this article, we present 20 exceptional (and free) rich-text editors. 1. TinyMCE is an open source (under the GNU Lesser General Public License) rich-text editor released and maintained by Moxiecode. TinyMCE |Demo | Download 2. CKEditor - WYSIWYG Text and HTML Editor for the Web.
WYMeditor - web-based XHTML editor - Home. Mylyn/WikiText. Mylyn WikiText Mylyn WikiText provides an extensible framework and tools for parsing, editing and presenting lightweight markup, including: Editor for wiki files using a source editor paradigm with preview Mylyn task editor integration making the task editor markup-aware for displaying and editing markup Ant Tasks for converting markup to other formats API a framework and API for handling lightweight markup WikiText has parsers for MediaWiki, Textile, Confluence, TracWiki and TWiki markup, and can be extended to support other languages.

Documentation. Vex - A Visual Editor for XML. Primary Links Vex - A Visual Editor for XML Vex is a Visual Editor for XML that hides the raw XML tags from the user, providing instead a word processor like interface.
Vex uses standard DTD files to define document types and CSS stylesheets to define document layout. Vex contains definitions for DocBook and DITA. To edit other XML formats only a DTD and a CSS are needed. Committers Florian Thienel (lead) Carsten Hiesserich Holger Voormann David Carver Igor Jacy Lino Campista. Moving Forward – Vex 1.0.0 M8 « eclipse howl.
Vex has moved from being a component in the WTP Incubator project to being a project on its own in Mylyn Docs.
Like all other Eclipse projects Vex has its own home page: eclipse.org/vex. Our project lead is Florian Thienel, currently the 99% of Vex (only you can change this). Last week milestone 8 was released. If you already use Vex then you have to migrate your vex-plugin.xml files. Otherwise you should give Vex a try to edit XML files word processor like. The next big thing is XML Schema support in addition to the good old DTDs. Lightweight markup language. Lightweight markup languages are used in applications where people might be expected to read the document source as well as the rendered output.
For instance, a person downloading a software library might prefer to read the documentation in a text editor rather than a web browser. Another application is for entry in web-based publishing, such as weblogs and wikis, where the input interface is a simple text box. The server software converts the input to a common document markup language like HTML or XHTML. History[edit] Lightweight markup languages were originally used on text-only displays which could not display characters in italics or bold, so informal methods to convey this information had to be developed. 1986 international standard SGML provided facilities to define and parse lightweight markup languages using grammars and tag implication.
Markdown. Markdown is a plain text formatting syntax[5] designed so that it can optionally be converted to HTML using a tool by the same name.
Markdown is popularly used as format for readme files, or for writing messages in online discussion forums, or in text editors for the quick creation of rich text documents. History[edit] The Markdown language was created in 2004 by John Gruber with substantial contributions from Aaron Swartz,[6] with the goal of allowing people "to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, and optionally convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML)".[3] Gruber wrote a Perl script, Markdown.pl, which converts marked-up text input to valid, well-formed XHTML or HTML and replaces left-pointing angle brackets ('<') and ampersands with their corresponding character entity references.
Bug 329528 – Support Markdown in WikiText. Macchiato : encore un éditeur Markdown pour Mac. Espresso, Chocolat et maintenant Macchiato : les développeurs d'éditeurs de texte / code sont visiblement inspirés quand vient le moment de nommer leur application.
Macchiato [1.1 - 1,3 Mo - 15,99 €] n'est cependant un concurrent ni d'Espresso ni de Chocolat : il vient plutôt ferrailler dans un marché en plein développement sur Mac, celui des éditeurs en texte brut minimalistes compatibles Markdown — comme Byword ou iA Writer. Sorti il y a quelques jours, Macchiato se rapproche de Byword par son interface dépouillée, et sa mise en valeur subtile du Markdown. Macchiato est compatible avec l'essentiel des nouveautés d'OS X Lion : le plein-écran, la sauvegarde automatique, et Versions.
Enfin Macchiato se rapproche d'iA Writer par son prix : 15,99 €. Textish - A lightweight markup language library for Java. RestEditor-Plugin.

But what puzzled me from the very first moment was its exposure calculator:
It got a dial with multiple markings of circle segments (seemingly indicating the degree of overcast, one of them though enigmatic to me, indicating rain as I found out by now).
Corresponding are markings refering to the setting as Indoor/Outdoor. So far so good. But next to these obvious distinctions are also those of Near/Landscape.
How could the latter be of influence on the exposure?
I guess I got the idea behind it:
As Near is set in the ranking of Bright Indoor/Shade/Near/Landscape/Sea&Snow I guess the idea is that in a situation with objects/people outdoors nearby there still would be some shade whereas in an open landscape...
Well, not really conclusive, but the best I can think of.

The following code produces dangling references.
int main(){
int *myArray;
myArray = new int[2]{ 100, 200 };
int& ref = myArray[0];
delete[] myArray;
cout<<ref; // dangling reference
I know I shouldn't delete the array but in a large program what if one of the developers deletes memory to which I have a reference. So it cannot be assured that no one deletes the array. What is the best alternative against dangling references and dangling pointers?

A majority of Kentuckians support gun-control measures proposed by President Barack Obama - even though they believe the right to own firearms is more important than the need to control them, according to the Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll.
The poll of 700 Kentucky residents, conducted by SurveyUSA, found that 56 percent favor stricter gun-control laws, but 65 percent said they believe guns protect law-abiding citizens more than they make society more dangerous.
Poll respondents also said they favor several specific gun-control measures, including background checks, ...

Hi there,
The Forgotten Password form in WooCommerce generates the password reset email and link, but, unfortunately, every attempt to follow up returns an "Invalid Key" error.
I tried this in all available browsers on Mac and Windows, no joy. So long as I use the Woo form, same story.
I have two implementations of it, both behave the same way. One is a modal the other, the page. Any hints in the right direction much appreciated.

I just got my BFP. A little unexpected. I have twins that will be 19 months old when i'm due with this one. anyway, DH and i are going out tonight for his b-day. he had said in the past he wanted to be surprised when i got pregnant again so i want a good creative way to tell him. any ideas?
Need ideas for telling DH

I don't know if this will help, but here is how I told my DH.
He had been getting bugged at work about when he was going to get on board and have a baby so I took that as my inspiration for a "baby train"...
I went to Target and got a little wood block train and cheap baby doll to sit on the train and then came home and did the following:
On the garage door that he had to go through first, I put a sign that said:
"Are you ready..."
Then I closed another door he would have to go through and put I sign that said:
"to get on board"
Then I was on the other side with the baby sitting on the train with a sign that said:
"the baby train?"
He froze and was in such disbelief. He wasn't expecting me to test until Saturday and it was THursday--it was a BFP shock to me too...
Me (29) DH (33) Married 7/08
Monkeybug arrived 5/2011
Sugarbear arrived 3/2013
This isn't an idea for your DH, but wanted to say that I had my 3rd 19 months after my B/G twins. You can do it!
Mom to I (10/07) E (10/07)� L (5/09) and newest K (5/11)
lol it is nice to know i can survive this.
Jerusha (25) hubby (34) Twins, boy and girl born (CS) Oct 1st 2009 and girl born (UBAC) May 23 2011
I got my BFP on a Wed while DH was on away for work and wouldn't get home til Fri night, so friday afternoon I got 80 pink and blue balloons and had some filled with helium and the rest with just air they were all over our family room. My DS (18 Months) was sitting in the room playing with them when DH walked in( he wasnt expecting me to test till Sat) so he was like "Whats with all This?" I just kind of look at him and it finally set in, he was really suprised!
This is not the greatest idea, but an idea. You could always wrap your positive test into a present so when you opens it he will see the positive test and know right away that you are pregnant.
If you want to go a little above that. I saw on a show once that a wife filled a room with pink and blue balloons and had her positive test sitting out for him to see.
Here is a link for a few other creative ways : http://www.morningsicknessinfo.com/ways-to-tell-your-husband-you-are-pregnant.html
With my son, I put a card that had baby feet printed on it,and I placed it under his pillow.I wrote on it "Get some sleep Daddy, you won't be doing that for long anymore" fallowed by CONGRATS! When he was undoing his side of the bed ,he found it,nd he had a hard time going back to sleep ! He was so happy.
🌠 🌛 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her. Luke 1:45
I made DH coffee in the morning, and then told him I had an extra treat for him in the kitchen. He came in, fully expecting breakfast... then I asked him to open the oven. I'd put a hamburger bun inside with our BFP. He took about half a second and then got super excited -- "You have a BUN in the oven!!!!!!" (insert big teary hug & kiss here!)

Classes just got a little more interesting at Harvard Law School, Columbia University and Sciences Po, an elite university in Paris.
A 65-student class dedicated to making students think critically about reimagining society, "Progressive Alternatives: Institutional Reconstruction Today," is using telepresence to create a discussion that transcends three campuses located in different parts of the world.
According to an article in The Harvard Crimson, the class is taught by Harvard Law School professor Roberto M. Unger and includes commentary from Columbia University professor Jeffrey D. Sachs and Laurence Tubiana, a professor from Sciences Po.
With its telepresence system, the instructors and class are able to interact in realtime. The first hour of the class is a lecture and comment from each professor and the remaining one hour allows times for questions and a lively discussion. Read More »

Let's take a quick trip down memory lane. As a child, did you dream of making it as a professional athlete? Or, perhaps, as you grew a little older and your own athletic prowess gave way to other skills, you wished to someday work among the sports stars you so loved and admired?
Thanks to the extensive education outreach programs provided by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, today's youngsters who aspire to careers in professional football can learn how to make these dreams into realities. Using telepresence, the Hall of Fame reaches students in all 50 states with virtual fieldtrips to National Football League (NFL) offices and museum collections and archives. The in-person, real-time telepresence connections let participating students speak directly with NFL doctors, accountants, public relations leaders, sales staff, and more, enabling them to learn how these employees earned their positions and what it takes to succeed. The telepresence links also let the Hall of Fame use special document cameras and computers to bring some of its 15,000 football artifacts "directly" into classrooms. Read More »

Mobile devices are an absolute necessity for the current generation of students. The 2011 Cisco Connected World Technology Report found that two-thirds of students (66%) cite a mobile device (laptop, smartphone, tablet) as "the most important technology in their lives." At the same time, educators at schools, colleges and universities are embracing mobile learning and "Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) initiatives to provide engaging and collaborative 21st century instruction and learning. These emerging trends are creating new demands on school and university networks to accommodate this unprecedented influx of users, devices and applications.
To help education leaders respond to these challenges and opportunities, Cisco recently announced Beyond BYOD, a next-generation solution which allows schools, colleges and universities to implement multiple device strategies without compromises.

According to Cisco's most recent Visual Networking Index (VNI) report, video now accounts for more than 50% of all consumer Internet traffic. By 2013, 91 percent of global Internet traffic is forecast to be video. Personally, I have witnessed, from the past 5 years working with government and education leaders from around the globe, that video technologies are a fundamental catalyst for driving education transformation in schools and universities worldwide. Which is why I am proud to introduce Cisco Global Education's newest white paper: "The Impact of Broadcast and Streaming Video in Education: What the Research Says and How Educators and Decision Makers Can Begin to Prepare for the Future."
Since the earliest days of education television, teachers have recognized the potential power of video. As successive studies have shown, video has the power both to reinforce the educational message and to engage the student – not only the motivated student but the student who would rather be somewhere else!

Five people seek three seats on Ojai City Council
OJAI, Calif. - With current Mayor Carlon Strobel and Councilwoman Carol Smith not seeking to retain their seats, five people have qualified to run for three spots on the Ojai City Council in November.
Also on the ballot is a measure proposing an elected mayor. The city currently has a largely ceremonial mayor who is elected by the City Council on a rotating basis.
Incumbent Paul Blatz will face challengers William Weirick, Randy Haney, Brandon Hansen and Stephen Quilici on Nov. 4. Because Strobel and Smith are not running, Friday's deadline to qualify for the ballot was extended to Wednesday.
Attorney Blatz was first elected to the council in 2010. He is a 31-year resident of Ojai and served as mayor in 2013. He was on the Planning Commission for 10 years before running for council.
"Community is my agenda. I continue my pledge to protect our city from the outside forces that would devastate our small-town character," Blatz said in a statement.
Weirick is a member of Ojai's recently created Building Appeals Board. He heads up a family-owned property development and management company.
"I know the importance of having our city government effectively supporting Ojai's unique quality of life. Citizens must see their local government treating everyone equally and fairly, keeping everyone informed, and representing the common good as issues and challenges arise," Weirick said in a written statement. "City Council must give strong policy direction to staff to ensure that the mechanics of city government support this goal. Unfortunately, there have been too many instances over the last few years when this standard has not been met."
Haney heads the Ojai Parks and Recreation Commission. He runs his own landscaping company.
"I am running for a seat on the Ojai Valley City Council because I want to continue to help build a strong and secure future for our town and its citizens. We are facing big challenges today — especially regarding water and our aging infrastructure — and I am dedicated to meeting these challenges with creative leadership and a vigorous commitment to the betterment of our community," he said in a statement.
Hansen says as a fourth-generation Ojai Valley resident who works for the family water well drilling business, he is committed to the area.
"I feel it is my duty to use both my talents and resources to best serve our community. I believe the city council should be representative of and responsive to the people who make Ojai their home," Hansen said in a statement.
Quilici did not respond to numerous requests for information by deadline.

We love Dr.Weber! He fixed my baby's little problem with his circumscision and at our follow up appointment I had asked him about another totally unrelated issue. He prescribed me with something that fixed the problem in 2 days. The other dr's I talked i had talked to about it didn't do anything but refer me to a clinic that has a 2 year wait list!! My baby would have been in terrible pain and discomfort for 2 years if it wasn't for you Dr. Weber. Thank you soooo much<3

Dr Weber is a busy man yet very knowledgable and an excellent surgeon. It was a very difficult time when my son was diagnosed with kidney cancer and yet he and his staff tried to keep me calm. I will never forget how relaxed Dr Weber was throughout the process and how he told me his perspective which in retrospect was a surgeons view yet truthful and to the point if your good at your job. Either I can not say anything bad about this man he cured my son of cancer and will be his hero forever.

My infant son has an issue with his testicle not descending, and I was referred to Dr. Weber. We were on time for our appointment however Dr. Weber was an hour and a half late. We had to wait in the lobby area with an unhappy and hungry infant for this time, without explanation from staff. When we finally did get in to see him, he did not mention nor apologize for his extreme lateness, or even acknowledge that we'd had to wait so long. He examined my child very quickly and then laid out the need for surgery. All of this under 5 minutes. He looked harried an frazzled and rushed through answering our questions. He also did not give any other options other than surgery and was not friendly or warm or made us feel at ease about putting a tiny baby under the knife and under general anesthesia. His staff (except for Shauna) seemed very disorganized and I left confused. I will be going back to our family doctor for another referral for a 2nd opinion and hopefully a better doctor.

Dr. Weber performed kidney surgery on my husband; he was great; knowledgeable and helpful beforehand. However, later when he was on the ward, he did not pop in to see my husband any day. Following discharge we could not get the requisitions for follow-up lab work he'd ordered, no record had been left at the hospital & it was impossible to connect with a human at Vesia, his clinic. Today, he was scheduled to be admitted for the 2nd surgery tomorrow, but the hospital has no orders from Dr Weber. The hospital told us the Dr. (his staff, actually) must have forgot to set it up. We can't reach him or his clinic because they don't answer any extensions and do call backs in 48 hours! Their business process is terrible, disrespectful of patients. We have scheduled our month around this surgery date Dr. Weber gave us, but now find nothing was done to set it up. Between post-surgery last time and this time, I have wasted many, many, hours on the phone just trying to get hold of his office.

I have never met Doctor Weber as I live in another province. However I Am a retired RN and have worked with doctors and specialists for many years. I heard about him from my daughter who has three gorgeous sons. The latest of these - Bennet was born with a condition which affected one of his kidneys. I was upset that I felt unable to be with my daughter and family as they went through a traumatic year trying to find out what was wrong with Ben. I thank God they were put in touch with Dr Weber. Since that time they seem so much more assured. It seems that apart from knowing his job Dr Weber actually cares. I'm sure all doctors claim to care but unfortunately they don't always demonstrate this. Being clever is not the only important part when dealing with people, compassion and empathy are a huge contributor. Dr Weber takes the time to :care, be kind and empathetic towards patient and family while be an excellent Doctor

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)
Targeted at healthcare application providers and institutions, the CUI is the result of more than two years' collaboration between Microsoft and the National Health Service (NHS) in England. The initial release of the CUI has created guidance and tools for a common look and feel for patient-critical functions, intended to increase patient safety and clinician effectiveness and reduce training and support costs, among other benefits. In use today at NHS in England, the CUI is now available to all healthcare developers around the world at no cost at http://www.mscui.net.
"For every healthcare institution around the world, patient safety is of paramount importance," said Tim Smokoff, general manager, worldwide health for the Worldwide Public Sector at Microsoft. "The Microsoft Health Common User Interface will help developers building healthcare applications ensure a higher level of quality control through a common look and feel to reduce the margin for error and save lives in the process."
