Because if you know "real" Javascript, then it doesn't matter if you know jQuery but not MooTools, DoJo but not Closure, etc. If you know "real" Javascript, you should be able to pick up any particular Javascript library with relative ease.
It is easier to evaluate a person's skill/knowledge by examining their coding style within a finite set of language features - such as JavaScript. The object of the exercise is not to create code that works well accross different platforms, but to examine the candidate - in this case, you.
I think I'd appreciate hearing that an interviewee understands that jQuery selectors are a vast improvement over getElementByName. That way they know there IS something underlying the framework, and they know enough about it to drop a function name.
That's really all I need to hear about their understanding of "raw javascript". God help me, I'd love to never code "raw javascript" ever again.
I know how to put gas in the car. I don't need to know how to refine dead dinosaurs into gas.
Yes I did just call raw javascript a dead dinosaur.
Because frameworks are changing more often than language features. If you are a good javascripter, it is more likely than he could be able to learn relatively quicker any framework. And without really deep knowledge of "just js", understanding the core functionality of any big library is hard.
It always better to know what is going on behind the scenes. Besides, knowledge of the language itself helps you to distinct good architectural from bad ones.
A framework is a level of abstraction above javascript.
If you dont know a framework but do know javascript its a matter of a few hours to learn the specifics. You cant use a framework properly without knowing javascript.
Don't let this fact stop you from learning commonly used frameworks though. Knowing JavaScript alone may not be always sufficient.
If you know JavaScript, you will be able to build your own library with your own functionalities, often needed in working environments for proprietary tools.
I once found a bug in jQuery and had to patch it myself, because I couldn't wait for them to release a patch. I was able to do it easily because I know JavaScript.
Being a good coder in JavaScript means you know many concepts such as closures, prototyping and other good features this powerful language offers, and that you may end up not using/understand when relying on a "write less, do more" library.
Then, even if you will use one of those libraries or frameworks, you will ultimately understand when it's best to use their functionalities and when it's best not to. Because they offers many good functionalities by writing little code, but it's really easy to overuse them, and create poor and sloppy code, while with plain JS would've been much faster.

Michael White: The 1997 American Cancer Society's Courage Award Winner
Last Modified: March 27, 2002
September 26, 1997
My Dear Friends,
This is without a doubt one of the highest honors one might ever dream of receiving. With humbleness, I thank you all for this very special recognition.
It is with mixed feelings that I address you in writing rather than in person. I am currently strong and healthy and have accepted a management position with a subsidiary of Sarasota Memorial Hospital. My new responsibilities place me in Puerto Rico as you meet. However, this situation provides an opportunity for me to express some important thoughts in response to this meaningful award.
It is fitting that Sherri Morris agreed to present the courage award at this year?s annual meeting. Last year at this time, I was undergoing some extraordinarily strong chemotherapy that shook my confidence. This was in preparation for my wife and I to leave our children and live in Houston for 100 days for a bone marrow transplant. The future was filled with darkness and I was filled with deep fears, both real and imagined. In this mode, I watched and listened as Sherri received the 1996 Courage Award. My friends, last year at this very meeting, Sherri and her story provided things I desperately needed ? courage, determination, and a positive attitude.
Ironic, is it not, that a touching letter addressed to me from Mr. Miles Davis and Doctor Gray Mason Jr. of the American Cancer Society states that I have demonstrated the very traits I observed in Sherri. It is strange to read this knowing I was very fearful, wavering, and frequently negative about the future. This would suggest we have something important to ponder here.
If courage is defined as weighing one?s options, and deciding on a particular path in spite of risks, pain, and the unknown, then I ask only that this award be given in recognition of every courageous patient and family member that wrestles with cancer. In my case, the fact remains that I do know fear. I desire an easier path. If there is courage, where does courage come from?
For me, courage continues to come from exposure to my peers. Hope flows from my peers. Knowledge is shared by my peers. Inspiration is ignited after learning about my peers. Simply buying time can make all the difference, and this is a lesson I learned well from my peers. Last year I composed my last will and testament, experienced some tearful good-byes, and went off to Houston to dance with death. My physician?s in Sarasota and Houston are some of the best in the world by any measure, and in consulting with me the decision was made that I was in a very high-risk situation and I should not receive the bone marrow transplant until my condition absolutely forced it. I was sent home. Would I ever muster that courage again?
September, 1997 ? one year later, I am told that the high-risk transplant is not the preferred treatment option at this time. New studies indicate that if and when I need to be treated, it may very well involve stopping by the doctor?s office as an outpatient four or five times. New treatments are proving to be remarkably effective for others with my particular disease, even where transplants failed them in the past.
I can accept this recognition of courage under one condition. I accept this on behalf of all patients and family members, our peers, that share and communicate their experiences. We must realize that courage, hope, and inspiration are often gifts that we receive from others. Many people have endured far worse than I, and continue to do so with incredible courage and determination. Perhaps some gifts can only be given by a peer. In any case, it is all peers that should be recognized for their unique and powerful gifts. It is our peers that forged a path where there was no path. I am eternally grateful to my peers.
Memories of my darkest days also include memories that will continue to inspire me until the day I die.
As you know, a bone marrow transplant today costs over a quarter of a million dollars. My managed care insurance provider was ? shall we say ? "un-supportive". However, my friends organized a fund raising rummage sale on my behalf. It became an event -- appropriately called ?friends helping friends?. Friends and family put in incredible hours of very hard work, filled with frustration. On the day of the event, I was too weak to shower or shave, but was compelled to drive to our church where the sale was taking place, just to make an appearance. In my car I sat in stunned silence as I looked at a bicycle someone had donated. I began physically shaking and crying because that bike was at the end of a very long row of donated bicycles. The bikes were outside of the building, along with lawn mowers, furniture, and other large items that had been collected. The building?s interior was literally overflowing with other donations. Weak and tired, I went home to rest as my friends worked on until, mercifully, the event day came to an end.
I drove back to the rummage sale, and saw my friends and family completely exhausted, with many of them actually sprawled on the cold hard floor. Some of my friends came by our house that evening and presented me with a huge poster-board "check" they had fashioned. The amount was filled-in for many thousands of dollars ? generated from a rummage sale! My friends also established a fund in my name at a local bank. Multitudes of mystery donations poured in week after week. An unknown executive at my place of employment (yet another managed care insurance company), quietly and secretly arranged to cover cost of lodging for my wife and I during the entire 100-plus days of treatment.
So off I go to Houston ? backed by an entire community! While in Houston, unpleasant procedures were performed followed by chilling test results. At the end of that week, Lori and I were sent home to Florida as a world-wide search for a marrow donor began. To this day, no match has been found.
While in Houston, I needed and found strength beyond myself. I was buoyed-up ? rendered completely unsinkable in spirit because of my friends. I had been sent to Houston by a powerful entourage. No matter what happened, I knew every thing would be all right ? even when my doctor in Houston stepped into the exam room and stated "We have a problem." The Apollo 13 analogy was not lost on me. In my mind I could hear the crackling radio message received on earth, "Houston, we have a problem."
I will be forever grateful and inspired by my family and friends, my employers and co-workers, Lori?s employers and co-workers, and the hundreds of others that signed the well-wishers board during the rummage sale. I will be forever grateful to those that make anonymous donations.
Regarding the courage award ? you now know as I do what it truly represents ? coordinated support from health-care professionals, peers, family, friends, and good people that will forever be unknown to us. So ? what to do with the award? Certainly ? I cannot keep it for myself knowing what an award such as this truly represents.
The answer comes from this board of directors. I received a memo documenting a board meeting I was not able to attend and it states the American Cancer Society will continue taking steps to work closely with The Wellness Community. This will surely be to the benefit of patients and their families. I applaud this effort. I enjoyed the quiet and comfortable surroundings of the Wellness Community on Clark Road as I listened to a peer tell her story of the Houston bone marrow transplant that cured her. She now has a new blood type ? that of the donor ? a marrow donor she was actually able to meet in dramatic fashion.
Only now can I accept this award, because it is on behalf of many devoted health-care professionals, peers, family, and friends. This will be presented to the Wellness Community in recognition of their mission and good work. I will remember many peers, friends, and family each time I see this award, and I will recall a secret (perhaps naïve) dream of someday working with both the American Cancer Society and The Wellness Community towards a common goal.
Once hospitalized for a week with serious complications, I shared a room with another boat captain ? an old man. Each of us were wondering if we would survive and you can only imagine the crusty fishing stories we shared. One evening the old man broke the silence with, "Mike ? you only need three things in life. Something to do, something to look forward to, and someone to love."
I have learned from my friends we only need someone to love, for with that - we will always have something to do and something to look forward to.

I'm pretty sure the most common is 'The Big Ball of Mud'. Unfortunately for us all.
MVC and its variations is definitely one of the top design patterns.
If you're talking about Gang-of-Four design patterns I would have to say Singleton. This is a really sad state of affairs - almost as if programmers hear about the magic of design patterns and then simply stop after the first one.
If you're talking about architectural-style patterns (in other words, design patterns which span multiple classes or layers) I would have to say MVC. A few other popular ones are the repository pattern and service-locator.
If you've ever used an event. You've used Observer.
Add functionality to an object at runtime through composition. My personal favorite.
Edit: Also Factory is probably one of the most common.
Think of any REST interface like Twitter or the SO APIs. It's hiding a bunch of back end stuff that, at least in twitters case, can be horribly complex.
Do I care which db tables @apklusk's tweets are stored in? And that it has a fast cache? And that @shemnon has such low readership the tweets are always out of memory? That's the magic of the Facade.
Strategy Pattern
If you've ever used dependency injection, you've used the strategy pattern.
Why has nobody mentioned the iterator yet? Especially with all the maps that make up complex data structures... its the one I use the most. Or are we talking about patterns that we re-implement?
I am surprised no one has mentioned the Factory pattern, in my experience that is one of the most used (and also most abused) of the patterns out there. If not first, probably the singleton should be first, I would have thought this would be a close second.
Along with my previous answer, I'm going to add a new one I ran into today from my beast of an inherited project:
While debugging I ran into a piece of code calling 2 similarly named functions:
Func1 and Func2 had the same parameters. I pulled them out and diffed, and they are 100% the same except for Func1 calls Func3 and Func2 calls Func4. I pulled those out and diffed them. 100% the same, except for 1 line. So a previous programmer decided to copy and paste two 50-line-nested functions, instead of adding a flag parameter, to 2 private functions used in exactly 1 place. It makes me want to cry.
Talking about Gang-of-Four design patterns, I can't think of a program that does not use the Observer pattern. Also, as Jaco mentioned, Singleton is highly used too, unfortunately it has become a hammer (any programmer uses it even if it's not completely needed).
Rarely implemented, often used. XPATH, XSLT, Regex, jQuery selectors, etc.
I'm surprised no one has said "Builder" yet. Or "Adapter". They're probably not as exotic as some of the other ones mentioned, but I use them all the time. Factory and Abstract Factory are very common as well (but they're already taken).
I don't think it's listed in the GoF, but I use variations of it all the time.
The most frequently used design pattern is, obviously, Spaghetti.
At the software design level, I would argue that Composite, Strategy and Template (and to a lesser extend, Factory) are the most widely usage. For the last decade or so we have seen a preference for composition over inheritance when building our systems using a OO design. As a result, combination of the patterns just mentioned play a much more important role than all others IMO.
Architecturally, I'd argue for MVC on the enterprise, and patterns based on state machines on the embedded side of things.

I really want to upgrade this airport, because it's causing some big backlogs for me. However, it's so busy that there are constantly airplanes either loading/unloading, in the hangar waiting or circling to land. This means I can't delete to rebuild. Is there any way I can clear it out temporarily to allow me to demolish/rebuild?
When you click on the airport, in the details screen there is a 'Close Airport' button. Next to the 'Rename Airport' button I believe.
This will stop planes from landing (it'll skip the destination in their orders) which lets you do the in situ upgrade.
You can try to have all the planes dock somewhere else, which would take a lot of time.
A possibly easier thing to do is to build a temporary airport to accomodate a place for the aircraft to be during the upgrade. What I mean with that is that you replace this airport with the temporary airport in the airplanes directions.

STEUBENVILLE - The Steubenville sweep is complete.
The Big Red girls' basketball team ripped off a 22-3 run to erase an early three-point deficit and never looked back en route to a 58-34 victory over city-rival Catholic Central Monday night at the Crimson Center.
The win, once again, gave Big Red the city championship. Big Red defeated the Crusaders, 58-15, on Dec. 12.

UNDER THE HOOP — Steubenville's Abby Taylor gets ready to go back up after grabbing a rebound during Monday's 58-34 win over Catholic Central to claim the city championship. Surrounding Taylor, along with teammate Emiley Masloski, are, from left, Central's Miranda Parkinson, Brittany Bertoia, Micca Mirabella and Samm Simmons.
-- Mike Mathison
Big Red (14-0) head coach Phil Casinelli said it is always nice beating Catholic Central.
"They are a rival," he said. "You have no record when you play Central. The girls played hard the whole game. They are excited about getting the win. We are going to celebrate tonight, and then we are going to get ready for our next game (Wednesday, hosting East Liverpool)."
Catholic Central (4-10) head coach Tommy Winland said his team played a much-better game against Big Red the second time around.
"That is what I just told them," he said. "I am proud of them. In the first half, we fought well.
"We had a lull in the second quarter. A lot of times we will have a lull and we won't be able to recover from it. This time, we stepped up and continued to charge forward. A lot of times, teams go on runs and we are never able to recover, but tonight we recovered.
"In the third quarter, we had no energy. I don't know why."
Lysiah Rice led Big Red with a game-high 18 points, Emiley Masloski tallied 16 points and Mytia Barker recorded 11 points.
"They like to get out and run," Winland said. "They did a good job of running their secondary break. We did a good job of getting back. We talked, and we were able to see what they were doing. We have not played a team who runs a break like that, but we adjusted to it."
Hannah Ondos was the lone Crusader to score in double figures with 10 points. Micca Mirabella collected seven points.
"I don't think either team did anything different," Casinelli said. "They obviously played well. I think they played some different girls. They have improved. They have just gotten better. That is a credit to their coach. He has done a good job of preparing them."
A bucket by Ondos gave the visitors a 9-6 lead with 3:42 left to play in the first quarter.
Later, Ondos made one of two foul shots to tie the score at 10 with 1:25 showing on the clock.
"We were patient on offense," Winland said. "We moved well. We cut hard. That is something we have been working on. Defensively, we were helping each other.
"This is a learning experience for us. We have a young team. We are going to be up and down. The girls played hard. They always play hard. We are learning.
"Hopefully, we can continue to learn, and hopefully everything will click in the future."
Rice followed with a three-point play with 33.2 seconds left in the stanza, and Big Red was off and running. The victors led 15-10 at the end of the quarter.
"Our defensive pressure caused some turnovers, and that helped us get going on the offensive end," Casinelli said.
In the second quarter, a basket by Hannah Masloski gave the Red and Black a 28-12 advantage less than midway through the second quarter.
Catholic Central tallied eight of the next nine points, and two free throws by Mirabella pulled the Blue and Gold to within 29-20, but that is as close as Catholic Central got the rest of the way.
A 3-pointer by Emiley Masloski gave Big Red a 34-20 lead at halftime.
"We want to play fast," said Casinelli. "We want to get turnovers on defense and push it when we are on offense."
Catholic Central is scheduled to return to the court tonight at Weir.
"I don't know if this is the best start in school history, but I do know it is the best start in my 15 years here," Casinelli said. "We are going to take it one game at a time. We don't want to get complacent. We are going to keep working.
"Teams are going to keep improving, and we need to do the same.
"We are going to enjoy this one tonight, and then we are going to get ready for East Liverpool."

I created a web page pulling together all the mods I have made in order to use a lens ring clamp with the M1L. Enjoy.
I created a web page pulling together all the mods I have made in order to use a lens ring clamp with the M1L. Enjoy.
It never occurred to me that one could attach a lens ring directly to the upper rotator. That's an interesting idea. I wonder if one could make that work on an NN3? Maybe with the R1/R10 pole adapter as a spacer?
When I visualized using a lens ring on an NN3, I envisioned putting it on the upper arm. That's not as good as what you did Dennis.
Nick, maybe you could piece together a prototype since you have all the parts handy.
Think of it as a way to sell lens rings to people like me who want to keep the flexibility of an adjustable upper arm.
I did this back in 2009:
I have been suggesting a lens ring mount pano head (not the R1) for a very long time now. When I saw the first M1 prototype, I knew that my prayers had been answered. As you can see from the previous post, it does not take very much to get the M1 to work well with a lens ring clamp.
If you already have a NN3, you will need to purchase an R1 kit along with the pole adapter. This will give you the Arca clamp, lens ring clamp and rotator. You then need to source a 1/4-20 threaded knob. You bolt the adapter to the clamp. I put one of the extra NN3 detent rings between the pole adapter and the vertical NN3 arm. I also put a very think aluminum washer between the vertical arm and the knob. Only then do you cut the threaded knob to length. It has been several years since I put these parts together, so I may be missing a part.
That is a very sensible way to mount a camera and disposes of all sorts of alignment problems and makes a much simpler kit.
Nick, why not make an adapter kit for this with all the requisite parts? Actually two kits. One kit with the QR system and one kit without.

Per your request, we are making some lens ring plate for use on the upper rail of NN3/4/5. That may be enough for now.
We need to make better documentation (something I am weak at) before we introduce even more variation.
Last edited by nick fan; 12-28-2011 at 02:20 AM.
We listen. We try harder.
It is a design intent in day 1. That is why the upper rail is not fixed to the rotator.
Dennis just adds a spacer to increase the clearance between the vertical rail and lens axis for better nadir patching.
We listen. We try harder.
Lens Ring $109.00
I have a perfectly good NN3 that is perfect size for the cameras I use. And for me, just buying a lens ring is a big financial decision that I would have to think about a real long time.
And may I make the suggestion that a simple knob and bolt are more than adequate to fix a lens ring to the upper rail of an NN3 so if you can make an adapter that screws onto the lens ring that has a bolt hole -- that would be simpler and cheaper and smaller and lighter than any QR system.
Something like Heinz made a while back. I can't find the picture but a rail plate that just screws onto the lens ring and then a knob/bolt holds it on the top rail.
A QR system only adds unnecessary weight and complexity. A knob/bolt is light and simple.

I'm afraid I am not a very good customer because I simply have neither the money or the need for most of your new products.
My NN3 is going to be my pano head for a long, long time. Maybe forever. I hope you continue to support NN3's.
We listen. We try harder.
Looks like I'll be buying a lens ring then. As soon as I figure out which lens I want to use for the next couple of years. That's the hard part given how fast things change.
The new T-adapter sounds good -- but a little late for me. I'm going with the NEX which has a properly centered tripod hole. But any person who has a compact camera with an offset tripod hole need that.
But the lens ring plate for the NN3 -- that's really good. That alone will save lots of alignment hassle. Make it thick enough to give proper lens clearance between the lens and the upper arm. Small cameras fit really close to the upper arm and many lenses have bigger diameter than the height of the camera.
I'm glad you will continue to support the NN3. It's a real work horse.
intimidate: verb transitive: to strike fear into; to influence by threats or violence.
I cannot believe that anyone would get this impression of Nick from his helpful and responsive postings here and elsewhere.
I find Nick to be the exact opposite of intimidating. Very easy to talk to while discussing ideas.
intimidate: : to make timid or fearful
I feel a little timid expressing my ideas and viewpoints. I sort of feel that I should mind my own business. But I've invested a lot of time into learning how to shoot panos -- at whatever level of ability I have. And I feel the need for certain pieces of equipment that are not offered by Nodal Ninja. But everybody else seems perfectly satisfied. So when I speak out about my perceived needs, I feel like I'm interrupting a group of people that is perfectly content.
That makes me a little timid and when I write stuff here in this and other blogs, I get a little nervous or fearful at potential reaction.
I think others probably feel the same way.
John, you took an extreme definition of intimidate. It's not like that.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
The つ character you're talking about is commonly referred to as "little つ" and looks like っ. This characters is not actually pronounced, but rather it means to take a small pause.
In the case of にっぽん, instead of pronouncing it as "nitsupon", you would be pronouncing it like "ni [small pause] pon" which is romanised as "nippon" which has a natural pause between the two 'p's.
But like sawa said in a comment, this is a very basic thing in Japanese and you would have learnt this from a textbook's first chapter.
For a more complete explanation though, you can visit the wikipedia page on it.
The chiisai-tsu (small tsu) should be covered by any basic hiragana book, a good alternative is wikipedia's hiragana article. From the writing section:
"Doubled consonant" is probably not the most straightforward way to describe it, but in general you can think of a sokuon introducing a slight pause before continuing with the next kana sound.
It actually is, that's what the doubled 'pp' represents in that particular romaji system. The various romaji systems are often contradictory with each other, but most of them use this doubling-consonant system to represent a っ.

STEUBENVILLE - Steubenville Big Red is home again, but it wasn't easy.
On the strength of a 21-18 win Friday night over Akron Buchtel, Big Red again clinched a home playoff game in Ohio Division III Region 11.
"I think every team has to start over every year, even if you have a bunch of players back they might not have the same attitude," said Big Red head coach Reno Saccoccia. "Every team starts from scratch every year. We started from scratch and we had a lot of adversity.

GAME-WINNER — Steubenville Big Red's Luke Smith lines up for what would be the game-winning field goal, from 33 yards out, as Big Red earned a home playoff game next week with a 21-18 win over Akron Buchtel at Harding Stadium.
"When teams overcome adversity it's the seniors, not anyone else. If they want their season to cave in it will cave in. If they want it to be good it will be. The seniors make the team."
Senior kicker Luke Smith put through a 33-yard field goal with 3:23 remaining in the game to give Big Red a 21-18 lead, and then things got a little crazy.
The Griffins marched down to the Big Red 24-yard line with under a minute left. On third-and-eight quarterback Marnayre Drummond dropped back to pass, saw a flag thrown, and stopped. Unfortunately for Buchtel the whistle hadn't blown so the play was live allowing Steubenville to capitalize by sacking Drummond for a 22-yard loss. The sack set up fourth-and-30 at the Big Red 46. Big Red broke up a desperation heave on to regain possession with 36 seconds left, and ultimately ran out the clock.

"I feel great about the win," said Saccoccia. "I couldn't feel any better about the win. I just hate the way it ended because I respect their coach so much and their players.
"(Buchtel head coach) Ricky Powers is one of my favorite people and I hated for it to end like that."
The game ended with a Griffins player being ejected on a Corey Stinson kneel down and ultimately with no post game handshake.
Steubenville took a huge advantage in the kicking game in Friday's victory.
"Bobby Lamantia did a great job of preparing our kickoff team," said Saccoccia. "He did a real good job, and the kicking game paid off this week.
"We had an onside kick, we had a blocked punt, our sky kick worked, our field goals worked, and we didn't punt the ball."
After Matt Petrella returned an interception 70 yards for a touchdown to give Big Red a 7-6 lead late in the first half, Smith kicked a perfectly placed onside kick that was recovered by Donte Brown at the Buchtel 43-yard line.
On second-and-13 from the 31 Stinson hit Tajuan Lawson for a 12-yard gain, and then kept it himself on a four-yard run for a first down. An Griffins' offside penalty put Big Red at the 10 and Smith put through a 27-yard field goal for the 10-7 lead with three seconds left in the half.
"He's a mentally tough kid," said Saccoccia of Smith. "The holder did a great job, the center did a great job, we protected, and he was on the money. He was dynamite twice."
Big Red looked poised to carry that momentum after blocking a Buchtel punt on the opening possession of the second half to take over at the Buchtel 47.
The Griffins literally stole the momentum back three plays later. Steven Mosley stripped Kai McClurg and raced 60 yards to paydirt to give Buchtel a 12-10 lead after the conversion pass fell incomplete.
"We gave up some big plays," said Saccoccia. "The stolen fumble, we didn't break on an interception. There's only inches between a great play and a bad play, and we have to work on those inches."
After Buchtel converted a third quarter Big Red turnover on downs into a 63-yard scoring pass from Drummond to Deric Rucker that made the score 18-10, it was time for Big Red senior running back Dashon Redman to impose his will.
Redman, who fumbled earlier in the game to set up Buchtel's first score, was a monster for Big Red late. On Big Red's 10-play, 77-yard scoring drive that started with 3:51 left in the third quarter, Redman toted the rock eight times for 71 yards, including punching in from inside the one for the touchdown. Redman also powered in for the two-point conversion run to tie the game at 18-all with 11:57 remaining in the game.
Redman then carried the ball seven times for 37 yards to help set up the game-winning field goal. Cody Saltsman caught a 13-yard screen pass to put Big Red at the 16 the play before Smith put the kick through.
"The whole team responded," said Saccoccia. "Before the game we talked about in games at this time of year little things win the games. Not big plays, little plays win the game."
Big Red ran the ball 50 times for 230 yards with Redman leading the way with 35 touches for 180 stripes.
The Steubenville defense held Buchtel to 180 yards of offense including just 60 yards on 26 carries rushing.

I am looking to purchase a secondary camera that meets the following criteria: 1) Compact enough to be inconspicuous for street photography. 2) Simple enough that I can hand it to a friend/family member (of a variety of ages) and they can participate on a shoot with little explanation from me and/or frustration from them. 3) Inexpensive without sacrificing image quality.
1) For inconspicuousness in street photography, waist level shooting seems to be an effective technique; so you'll need an articulating screen to be able to compose before shooting from hip.
2) The whole idea of "point and shoot" is that you can point it at something and click button to shoot an image, so I don't think simplicity will be a problem unless you insist on your assistants to change some settings or shoot with manual exposure/focus - in this case, complexity comes from you, not the camera.
3) Cheap, good, fast - you have to pick two in this world. Since you have picked cheap and good, looks like you have to give in in terms of time. Either look for a used upper level model from past, or wait until current top-level models become available second-hand. For maximum image quality, you want a point-and-shoot that performs well in low light, because that's where the differences are most discernible. Cameras with big sensors (measured by physical dimensions, not in megapixels) have a clear advantage, but AFAIK those are all quite recent models.

"Where Snowflakes Dance and Swear"Inside the Land of Ballet
Posted 09 October 2011 - 08:01 PM
Many people have asked over and over again, "How are works transmitted?" "How do the dancers learn them?" "How do dancers work?" This books describes all of these in great detail, including the contrast in style, approach, and expectation of different stagers/stager-choreographers/choreographers, and, because that season boasted so many new works of different sizes and demands, there is quite a contrast. (The one thing they had in common, how many times they praised and encouraged, was the biggest surprise to me.)
The book gives a robust portrait of Peter Boal in a critical year in his first 5-year term as Artistic Director, and in-depth descriptions of the crucible of that period: a production of Jean-Christopher Maillot's "Romeo et Juliette", which replaced a much-loved version of Kent Stowell's, "The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet". Boal had five of Stowell's Juliets and several Romeos among his Principal Dancers; with one exception the stagers rejected all of them, which in a perverse way was an advantage, because everyone was equally unhappy and insulted, especially as the stagers tried to audition them in the non-title roles -- PNB didn't have enough performances to offer that many casts in the Stowell version -- and the one exception was unhappy because she felt that Boal would always favor Carla Korbes.
2007-8 was also a critical point in the transition from Francia Russell and Kent Stowell to Peter Boal, two years away from the honeymoon, and the adjustment was huge, however well as it was handled publicly, and the detailed descriptions of the making of each rep and special performance, presentation, and gala/party over the year establish context.
Whatever anyone thinks of Peter Boal, there is someone in the book who will validate their conclusion, because, ultimately, this is a book about work and, by extension, about business, and Peter Boal is the boss. There are limited resources -- time and money -- and limited opportunity, and no matter how much money he and his staff raise, time and opportunity are still limited.
PNB is run, at least in this period, on a pretty strict business model, to produce a small operating surplus each year. That limited the amount of new work that Boal could produce, especially going forward, which is not entirely a bad thing, based on the company's experience of conflicting schedules, the logistics of so many stagers, time and money restrictions during the 2007-8 season, as well as giving dancers the opportunity to fine-tune and deepen their interpretations by repeating the ballets sooner than later. The book was written about the season before the financial crisis hit, after PNB had deferred an endowment gift on which the 2008-9 season budget relied, only to find the value of the endowment reduced below contributions, and before "Nutcracker" suffered the triple-whammy of the financial crisis, a new Christmas show in town, and a massive snow storm that crippled the city, whose poor response toppled then-mayor Nickels.
It's also a book about communication, and setting expectations, and often, the lack of both. I found it pretty astonishing that stager after stager from the modern dance world, whether their experience was with smaller companies or in an established theater like in Monte Carlo, seemed to have no idea about what it would mean to their rehearsal process to work in a repertory company with a union. What was a given to Stacy Caddell or Brian Reeder or Benjamin Millepied, all NYCB veterans for whom this was not news, seemed astonishing to the Monte Carlo team among others.
There are many profiles, both of dancers, stagers, choreographers, and people behind the scenes, and for NYCB fans, Carla Korbes, who was cast widely in the season, is a featured player, with appearances by Miranda Weese, Seth Orza, and Sarah Ricard Orza. I thought the most fascinating was the one of Bruce Wells -- what a perspective Wells has. Maillot's thoughts were also a highlight. There is also an epilogue, to bring the reader up-to-date through last season.
It's a fascinating story, regardless of whether the reader has ever seen Pacific Northwest Ballet.
The book is available through amazon.com, amazon.ca, and amazon.co.uk in hardcover and Kindle editions, as well as from Japanese and European amazon.com sites. It's also available in Nook and Adobe formats.
Here's the website to the book, from which you can read six chapters:

So is the teaching. What surprised me in the PNB school was the authority conveyed by the instructors thanks to their professional experience and knowledge. I also found their total absence of condescension toward their students noteworthy. I suspect there are lessons to be learned from this by teachers of almost anything
It struck me (as it obviously did him) how different primary education in this country might be if it had the aspects of: "hands-on" by teachers that really knew their subject from experience, truly loved the subject themselves, and always put the students and the subject first. Some sort of intra-country "Peace Corps" perhaps?????

The writing style of the book, so far, disappoints. I derive pleasure in the facts and the details about which I am learning as I read, but not from any turn of phrase. I feel like I am reading a unedited sports blog, instead.

I'll try to put together a formal review next weekend.
I will greatly look forward to that. (I am in the middle of reading the book -- and enjoying it very much. For PNB regulars like me, it's like reading a book about one's own family!!)

STEUBENVILLE - The Franciscan University of Steubenville men's and women's basketball teams dropped home games to the University of Pitt-Bradford Sunday afternoon.
The men lost 62-44, falling to 0-13 overall and 0-5 in Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference activity.
The women fell, 55-38, dropping to 3-10, 2-4.
The men were behind 20-19 at halftime.
"We are finally playing team defense," FUS head coach John Lamanna said. "We are playing as a unit instead of single handedly."
Franciscan utilized its team play and garnered hard-earned rebounding stats. The Barons outrebounded Bradford, 33-30.
"This is very important to us," Lamanna said. "That is something that we have really put a lot of emphasis on."
FUS point guard Peter Mooney finished with a game-high nine rebounds.
"I'm extremely pleased with Peter Mooney. He really pursued the ball well," Lamanna said. "This is the best in game pursuit he's shown since I have coached him."
Joseph Rine contributed eight points and four blocks. Rine is ranked ninth in NCAA Division III blocks per game.
"(Joe Rine) is really the key to a balanced attack offensively and defensively," Lamanna said. "We want to spread the ball around the court, and his excellent shot selection gives us that ability."
The Barons host La Roche College at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
The women were down 29-25 at the break.
"The loss really came down to our lack of consistency with scoring," head coach Suzy Delaney said. "We didn't get to the line at all, which hurt us in the end."
Lacey Huck had 16 points and 10 boards, and Helen Raines added seven points and four assists.
FUS trailed 37-34 with eight minutes left in the game, but were outscored 18-4 down the stretch,
"When it came down to the end, we just weren't able to finish," Delaney said. "Over the past couple of weeks we've added and lost girls and changed positions. We played a good, solid team, and I'm happy with our defense and our efforts. We didn't stop shooting."
The Barons host AMCC leader La Roche College at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Children's Growth Chart
Topic Overview
A growth chart is a graph used to track a child's growth and development over time. At each of your child's well-child visits, the doctor will measure:
These measurements are plotted on a graph according to your child's age and sex.
Growth charts show the consistency of your child's pattern of growth over time. It is important to remember that your child is likely to have growth spurts as well as periods of slow growth, even as a baby. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns. For more information about growth charts, go to the website www.cdc.gov/growthcharts.

After I first upgraded to Natty from 10.10 I went to fix my Compiz settings. First, the rotating cube wouldn't work. That was disappointing but not a huge deal. Later, every time I changed a setting in Compiz, my whole top toolbar with my clock, keyboard settings, calendar, etc. disappeared. I brought it back with a reboot, but that was only temporary.
Then I tried to install my nvidia drivers (I'm using an Asus UL50V) and after they were installed, I rebooted. Upon going back into Natty I was informed that Unity had crashed and was not compatible with my machine (I had already been using Unity for about a day at that point). Now I'm just running in Classic mode.
How can I get Unity back up and running? And once I do, what is there to do about my problems in the first paragraph?

the glue that holds our design office (and more) together
For the few of you who may not know, Margery Winter is the creative director at Berroco. After years of a mentor/student relationship, we now work as parts of a team here at Berroco. Margery writes about another very important member of our team:
Deana Gavioli keeps the design department running like a top. Her responsibilities range from assisting our art director, gathering and updating all information for our website, proofing all stages of Knitbits, monitoring email@example.com, creating and trafficking trunk shows, editing all written pieces generated by this department, tagging and labeling all samples, acting as the liaison between designers and sample knitters, managing all production of store models, processing invoices. Deana is our clearing house of facts and keeper of information. She works at her desk and computer everyday, calmly coordinating all packages to and from the sample knitters so that Norah and I can maintain our rigorous design and photography schedule. With her finger on the pulse of our department, she calmly goes about her business quietly making sure that all runs as smoothly as possible while at the same time our dear Deana, beautiful inside and out will not allow a single Knitbits to be released until every "t" is crossed and every "i" is dotted. Often I wonder how Deana can remain so calm and so steady. I have worked with her for many years and I continue to be in awe of her endless reserve of patience. Thanks so much Deana. We can't do it without you!

She's my glue too😉.April 30, 2008
Isn't it incredible what a calm, administrative, detailed, organized voices will do to a department…. Talk about unsung heroes. My admin aka angel is back today after a month of family leave and I couldn't be happier!May 1, 2008
Deana—– kudos to you. First of all wrangling Margery and Norah has to be more than a full time job, and a thankless one as well! I know that working "in the back lot" is just flat puredee super completely hard to do as well and to do it well and receive such warm and happy thanks is lovely.
Here's the cool thing, women across the ages have been the ones that are "the glue". Being the glue sounds rather, well less than fabulous. We would rather be presidents and ceo's and Nobel prizewinners and s/hot knitterly people. When the reality is, being The Glue is quite simply the most wonderful thing in the world.
Don't lose your sticky kiddo—— I salute you!May 1, 2008

Bamboo is a group of woody perennial evergreen plants of the grass family. Some of its members are giant bamboo, forming by far the largest members of the grass family. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world: up to three to four feet a day. This accelerated growth rate allows bamboo to be harvested in three to five years, far more often than the 10 to 20 year harvest cycle of most softwoods. Unlike the environmental damage caused by the deforestation of trees, proper harvesting of bamboo leaves the root system intact, creating little or no topsoil disruption. This renewable, sustainable resource produces 35% more oxygen than its equivalent in trees while reducing carbon dioxide gas that is blamed for global warming. With the tensile strength of steel, it's the strongest growing woody plant in the world.

On April 22nd, 2012 The New York Times broke a huge story on Wal-Mart's Walmex subsidiary. The subsidiary is alleged to have systematically engaged in bribery in order to grease the wheels of its store expansion program in Mexico. Two of its most senior executives have been directly implicated in the scheme and the subsequent cover-up. The fallout has been dramatic including upcoming Congressional and Justice Department investigations and investigations within Mexico, a precipitous drop in Wal-Mart's stock price, and perhaps worst of all, a huge black eye to WalMart's reputation for integrity.
This is a story that will not go away soon, even with the short collective memory for which the U.S.public is noted, and even with the perception we have, mistaken or not, about how business is done inMexico. The investigations and potential lawsuits will wend their way forward but Wal-Mart has an immediate problem: how to revive its reputation which was essentially snuffed out by one newspaper story. Unless there are very clear explanations that go beyond mere flim-flam, cut your losses Wal-Mart. Cooperate with investigations to ensure that they are completed rapidly. Develop your best explanations. Negotiate your fines for violating the Federal Corrupt Practices Act. Make restitution wherever it is required. Terminate those who were complicit. Get your house in order as quickly as you can.
But this article is not about what to do now. It is about what should have been done. Wal-Mart's story is as old as the hills. It is the same story as Richard Nixon and Watergate, Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, Enron, Goldman-Sachs. And on and on and on. It is the story of hubris. It is the story of deceit. It is the story of the ostrich.
Faced with a calamitous issue, a powerful person, a powerful company, a powerful country is most likely still to believe that there is a good chance of getting away with something. Lie low and time will make the issue recede into history. Put a band aid on and no one will dare to pierce your impenetrable shell. What would have happened if Wal-Mart had entertained a genuine independent internal investigation when it had the opportunity, and made those findings known to the Justice Department and toMexico? There would have been a much smaller story. Wal-Mart would at least have been accused of being honorable. Its reputation for integrity would have been burnished. It would have paid a price but perhaps not as steep a price as it will now pay.
Why don't people get it? Because there is a gambler in all of us, even when the odds are poor. Is there a chance we can get away with something? Let's give it a try. What do we have to lose? Ask Richard Nixon. Ask Bill Clinton. Ask all those who have tried to wheedle their way out of messes only to get caught. Ah but then again there is always that other guy, the guy who got away with it. We should follow him. He's a smart guy. He knew the angles. If he could do it, we can too. Right now things are calm. Let's not rock the boat. But in the long run the straight-shooter almost always wins.
Crisis management is not only activated when a cris occurs. It begins prior to a crisis in order to avoid a crisis or lessen its severity.

Honda Civic Challenge
So you've downloaded the Honda Challenge Car Pack, you've bought the cars and kitted them out with some sweet liveries. Now you're wondering: what's next? Well, it's time to grab that 2013 Civic Si and hit the roads of Colorado in the Honda Civic Challenge Rivals event. Never tried Rivals in Forza Horizon? Here's what you need to do:
Log in to Forza Horizon with a valid Xbox LIVE account
Drive or fast travel to the Horizon Festival and enter the "Race Central" section.
Choose "Rivals" from the menu
Click on the "Monthly Rivals" channel
Find the "Honda Civic Challenge" event and click on it
Note that you'll need the Honda Challenge Car Pack in order to enter this event. Once the game starts, your goal will be to set as fast a time as possible in this event.
While racing against the Forza community is cool, pitting your skills against a real race car driver is even better. We're happy to announce that Honda race driver (and Indy 500 champ) Scott Dixon will be setting a time in this event as well. Test your racing chops against an IndyCar Series champion by looking for Scott's Xbox LIVE Gamertag (which we'll provide on Tuesday)… you can even set him as your Rival for some intense racing action.
The top overall finisher in the Honda Challenge will win the chance to meet Scott Dixon in person as well as a custom Honda-branded 250GB Xbox 360 console. Finishers 2-4 will also win one custom Honda-branded 250GB Xbox 360. In addition, everyone who manages to beat Scott's time on the leaderboard will win a free Forza Horizon custom theme pack.
Please note that the Honda Civic Challenge Rivals event is only open to Forza Horizon players who registered for the event on Xbox LIVE.
For official rules on this contest see http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/promotions/honda-forza-motorsports
Beginning on Feb. 15, we'll be holding a special Honda-Civic themed photo contest around the 2013 Honda Civic Si Coupe. Look for more details soon!
Sweet! Free DLC is the best DLC.
Going to pop this in after I finish Need for Speed.
@dopey5007: I'm sorry that my complaining in ATC got this deal retagged to free and therefore booted from the Top Deals section. I wasn't complaining about your deal and now I realize I shouldn't have even mentioned it.
@thepenrod: ya cant fix woot logic

To the editor The following is to inform valley amigos, Obuma-ites, uneducated, misguided voters of facts they'll never see on MSNBC. Obama paid 18....
Great Letter Barry.
Core for Barry's letter to be coherent, you have to believe in the Constitution, Individualism, and Americanism, not Communism, and Socialism. I don't think Barry's letter has anything to do with Black People, but it does have everything to do with lazy people, and those that are capable of working, but would rather set back with their hand out.
"Every step we take towards making the State our Caretaker of our lives, by that much we move toward making the State our Master." – Dwight D. Eisenhower

Spot on Barry.
4 Agrees | 9 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Barry has obamacare all figured out so why doesn't he write a book to explain it. Or is he just regurgitating the same old hate spewing demagogues from GFS radio?
6 Agrees | 9 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Core, why is it that that the only argument that the liberal, looney, dems have left is to cry "racist," claim "victory" tuck their tails and run away. I'd dislike obumma if he was Spanish, Jewish, White, Yellow, or pink with purple spots and green stripes. I dislike him because of his policies. Also you are bringing up his "charitable contributions," how about he just stop his wife and kids from going on vacation every month?
7 Agrees | 6 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
you're at it again, Mr Core! As always my husband and I AGREE with Barry! WOOHOO!!
5 Agrees | 6 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
It is a gigantic waste of time to address this idiocy that is written by Bardone abd cheered on by his alter EGO valleyit. His shotgun rhetoric is like fantasia. For those of you who disagree or can make no sense of Bardones letter pull out of this debate and let the remaning players engage in a circle jerk of clowns. Rumor has it that clowning is what Bardone does as a side job.

WACO (November 12, 2012)--Jury selection is set for Tuesday morning in the murder trial of a Waco man who is accused of gunning down another man at the door of the victim's own home.
John Arabie, 33, was indicted on Jan. 18 in connection with the shooting death of David Lloyd Sanders, 74, who was was shot and killed as he looked out a side door after a man rang the doorbell of his home in the 4100 block of Hubby Avenue.
Sanders' wife told police officers at the time of the shooting that a man wearing a black shirt and white pants began ringing the doorbell at around midnight on the night her husband was shot.
She said the man then went around to a side door where her husband was shot in the head as he looked out to see who was outside.
His wife found him bleeding and called 911.
Officers spotted a man matching the description of the gunman a short time later in the 4000 block of West Waco Drive not far from the victim's home.
The man ran from officers, but was arrested as he tried to hide.
Arabie bought a car from Sanders several weeks before the murder, police said, but investigators aren't sure about the reason for the late-night visit or a motive for the shooting.

Performers, presenters named for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction
Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera and John Mayer will be among the presenters and performers at the 28th annual Rock and Rock Hall of Fame induction ceremony in April, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum announced Wednesday.
Hudson and Aguilera have been tapped to perform in honor of new inductee Donna Summer, who died last year.
In December, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced the queen of disco was part of the 2013 class of inductees, which also includes Heart, Randy Newman, Public Enemy, Rush and Albert King.
For King's induction, Mayer will speak and also perform along with Gary Clark Jr. Mayer's been on the mend after having another surgery to remove recurrent throat granuloma, and he just recently sang in concert for the first time in nearly two years at a benefit in Montana.
Fans of Rush will see their favorite group finally get their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame due, with Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters inducting the band. Another Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Don Henley, will induct Newman.
More details on additional presenters, performers and special guests are to come. Tickets will go on sale for the general public at 10 a.m. PT February 1.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place April 18 at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles and will be broadcast at 9 p.m. ET/PT on May 18 on HBO (a company that, like CNN, is owned by Time Warner).

How does atherosclerosis affect my body?
Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Types of cardiovascular disease include:
- Coronary artery disease: Coronary artery disease occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to your heart. When blood flow to your heart muscle slows or when the arteries become blocked, it can cause chest pain and heart attack.
- Small vessel disease: Small vessel disease occurs when plaque builds up in the small blood vessels of your heart. This can weaken your heart and cause chest pain, especially during exercise.
- Stroke: A stroke occurs when an artery that carries blood to your brain becomes blocked. This can cause temporary or permanent brain damage, and you may lose the ability to see, speak or to move parts of your body.
- Peripheral arterial disease (PAD): PAD occurs when plaque builds up in the arteries that supply blood to your arms or legs. This can cause numbness, pain and possibly infection in your affected limb(s).

SEC Charges Pennsylvania's Capital City with Fraud
Federal investigators say City of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania officials misled the public and investors about how bad the municipality's finances really were.
The Securities and Exchange Commission in May charged the city of Harrisburg with securities fraud in connection with misleading financial statements made to the public. The SEC said the misinformation meant investors risked dealing in securities based on incomplete or outdated knowledge.
The city has reached a settlement with the federal agency and will implement new policies to prevent such inaccurate information from being made public in the future, according to the court order.
According to the SEC, Harrisburg officials made misleading statements and omitted relevant information in the city's budget report and annual and midyear financial statements. That violated the anti-fraud provisions of the Exchange Act.
"These public officials' statements were the principal source of significant, current information about the issuer of the security and thus could reasonably be expected to influence investors and the secondary market," the SEC said in a report detailing the charges.
First Municipality So Charged
The announcement marks the first time the SEC has charged a municipality for making misleading statements in places other than financial disclosure documents. Earlier this year the State of Illinois settled SEC fraud charges related to its reporting of pension system finances, and in 2010 the SEC filed fraud charges against the State of New Jersey over reporting of its pension system obligations.
The SEC cites the 2009 State of the City address during the Mayor Stephen Reed administration. The address didn't give the full picture about the city's debt obligations from the Resource Recovery Facility, or trash incinerator, according to SEC investigators.
"The address only discussed the municipal resource recovery facility as a situation that was an 'additional challenge' and an 'issue that can be resolved,'" says the report. "By this time, Harrisburg knew that the [Harrisburg] Authority had failed to secure the requested rate increase, making it likely that Harrisburg would have to repay $260 million of the debt as guarantor."
City Won't Pay Penalty
The order also details the city's settlement negotiation, which is free of financial penalties. Harrisburg has agreed to improve its financial disclosure policies, which didn't exist during the time of the investigation. That involves formal written policies and annual employee training on compliance.
Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson, who signed the settlement, said in a statement her administration "cooperated fully" with investigators.
"The historical facts alleged by the SEC regarding the City's failure to disclose financial information are what they are," Thompson said. "But, to prevent such things from happening in the future, and as the SEC is aware, the City has completely revamped its policies and procedures for financial disclosures."
Thompson's statement also said she is prohibited by law from commenting further on the matter.
The SEC order characterizes Harrisburg as "a near-bankrupt city," due in part to $260 million in debt from the incinerator project. The city's finances are under a state receivership, the only such setup in the state.
SEC Cites Omissions
Among the misleading or inaccurate information mentioned in the report:
- In a 2008 financial report submitted in December 2009, Harrisburg omitted a bond rating downgrade from Moody's Investor Services.
- The 2009 budget did not include funds for debt guarantee payments, even though the city had set aside $2.1 million for that purpose.
- City officials released a midyear fiscal report in 2009 without reference to $2.3 million in guarantee payments the city made for the incinerator project.
Such evidence means investor decisions may have been based on inaccurate information, the SEC said.
"In an information vacuum caused by Harrisburg's failure to provide accurate information about its deteriorating financial condition, municipal investors had to rely on other public statements misrepresenting city finances," George S. Canellos, co-director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement, said in a statement. "Statements that are reasonably expected to reach the securities markets, even if not prepared for that purpose, cannot be materially misleading."

A few months working hard on your latest project made it possible to finish it a month before the deadline. Great! It might be a good idea to get some feedback before showing it to the client.
However, many of the people to whom you ask for feedback are going to limit their reactions to compliments. That's nice but you know your client is going to bitch about many details and getting feedback from people out of your area of expertise can help predict some of said complaints.
So what's a good approach to make other people comfortable to criticize even if they don't fully understand how it was done?

Digestive Disorders Health Center
In this article
Medical Treatment for Encopresis continued...
Many parents are reluctant to give their child laxatives because they have heard that laxatives are harmful, cause more serious conditions (such as colon cancer), or promote dependency. There is no convincing evidence that any of these are true. Laxatives do not stop working if they are used every day for a long time.
Most cases of encopresis respond to the treatment regimen outlined above. If the soiling does not resolve, your child's health care provider may refer you to a specialist in digestive and intestinal disorders (pediatric gastroenterologist), a behavioral psychologist, or both.
Medications for Encopresis
Enemas: The use of enemas for encopresis is described above. The effectiveness of any particular enema preparation is probably more dependent on the volume (size) of the enema than on its chemical make-up. The phosphate-sodium enema (Fleet Enema) is probably the most widely used type.
Note: Some gastrointestinal specialists discourage the use of enemas and suppositories or any anal intervention because the child associates fear and pain with the anal area. The child may struggle or feel additional trauma when these types of manipulations are performed. Eventually, all impacted stool can be dissolved or disimpacted by using medications taken by mouth.
Osmotic laxatives: These laxatives contain agents that are not efficiently absorbed by the intestinal lining. This results in large amounts of extra water in the intestine, which softens the stool. Since all osmotic laxatives work by increasing the amount of water in the colon, it is important that your child drinks lots of fluid while taking any of these laxatives. Like any medication, these should be given only as recommended by your child's health care provider. If the laxative does not seem to be working, do not increase the dose without talking to your child's health care provider. Rarely, these products interfere with other medications that your child takes.
Magnesium hydroxide (FreeLax, Philip's Milk of Magnesia, Haley's MO) -- Besides causing retention of fluid in the intestine, this laxative promotes the release of a hormone that stimulates movement of stool through the intestine. Some children experience abdominal cramping. This laxative is flavorless but has a thick chalky texture that may be more acceptable when mixed with a fluid such as milk or chocolate milk. It should be avoided by children with kidney problems.
Lactulose (Chronulac, Constilac, Duphalac, Kristalose) -- This laxative is generally very well tolerated and tastes sweet. It may cause gas and abdominal cramping at usual doses.
Polyethylene glycol
powder (Miralax, COLYTE, GoLYTELY) -- This may pose less risk of dehydration or electrolyte imbalance than other osmotic laxatives. The powder is mixed in 8 ounces of water, juice, soda, coffee, or tea. The usual dose is 17 grams (fill to measuring line in cap of bottle) of powder per day. This laxative is tasteless, odorless, and usually quite easy to take. It may take slightly longer to work than other products.
Sorbitol -- This indigestible sugar tastes quite sweet. It often causes gas and abdominal cramping.
Magnesium citrate (several generic versions, Evac-Q-mag, or Mag Citrate) -- This works by the same mechanism as magnesium hydroxide and should not be used if kidney disease is suspected. The product is clear (not chalky like magnesium hydroxide) and may be chilled to improve palatability.
- Polyethylene glycol balanced electrolyte solutions (COLYTE, GoLYTELY) -- These balanced electrolyte solutions are based on the same ingredients as Miralax, but are used to clean the colon entirely in preparation for colonoscopy or abdominal surgery. They require drinking a large volume of fluid, which may be more acceptable if chilled. This laxative may be associated with nausea, bloating, abdominal cramps, and vomiting.

Planning In The News
Planning was once again rated as one of the 50 best careers in 2010 according to an article in U.S. News & World Report. Similarly, a 2009 article in U.S. News & World Report rated urban planning as one of the best careers for 2009. According to the article, two key planning subfields include transportation planner and private-sector planner. With the Department of Urban and Regional Planning's specializations in transportation planning, including a certificate program, plus courses in private-sector development, we are well positioned to provide the necessary training in these areas.
Recently, E/The Environmental Magazine recognized planning as a excellent career opportunity, particularly for those interested in "green" opportunities. The MUP program at SJSU offers students a wide range of educational opportunities in environmental planning as well as land use and transportation planning, key subfields for students interested in learning how urban planning can contribute to more sustainable development.
If you are interested in deciding whether you want to be a planner or not, this recent Planetizen article answers some common questions prospective planning students have about planning as a career.
The American Planning Association provides some excellent information on choosing a career in planning, plus information about job listings. The Association of Collegiate School of Planning recently released their 2010 Guide to Graduate and Undergraduate Education in Urban and Regional Planning. Here you can find out more information about planning as a career, plus learn more about accredited planning programs in the United States and Canada and why you should try to attend an accredited planning program.

Arm the judicial marshals
In the spring of 2008, I was a first-year law student in St. Petersburg, Fla. About noon Wednesday, May 7, I dropped off a pleading with the clerk's office in the courthouse. The courthouse was quiet. It was a warm and sunny day. The armed guards, deputies with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, were pleasantly chatty. What none of us knew is that one of them would be shot that day.
A little after 1 p.m., a man named Glen Lee Powell arrived at the courthouse. He was going through a divorce. He entered through the double sliding doors into the air-conditioned lobby with a backpack full of artillery: 79 rounds of ammunition, an extra magazine, a Sig Sauer .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun, a large knife and a gas mask. He drew his handgun on the guards and opened fire. One guard took a round to the shoulder before they shot Powell dead.

Rutgers Axes Coach After All
Rutgers University fired men's basketball coach Mike Rice Wednesday amid a growing controversy over his treatment of his players.
The move comes one day after video footage published by ESPN showed Rice grabbing, shoving and kicking players during practice sessions and berating them with profane language, including gay slurs.
Vote and comment
The Rutgers athletics department announced the firing Wednesday morning, saying, "Based upon recently revealed information and a review of previously discovered issues, Rutgers has terminated the contract of Mike Rice."
Rice didn't respond to requests for comment, but in an interview with ABC News outside his home Wednesday, he apologized for his conduct and described his behavior as "deeply regrettable."
"I've let so many people down: my players, my administration, Rutgers University, the fans, my family, who's sitting in their house huddled around because of the fact that their father was an embarrassment to them," he said. "At some time maybe I'll try to explain it, but right now, there is no explanation for what's on this film because there is no excuse for it. I was wrong. I want to tell everybody who believed in me that I'm deeply sorry for the pain and the hardship that I've caused."
The decision to fire Rice comes one day after Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti reiterated that Rice wouldn't be fired. "I thought it was in the best interest of everyone to rehabilitate, but I was wrong," Pernetti said in a statement Wednesday. "Moving forward, I will work to regain the trust of the Rutgers community."
Pernetti first saw footage of Rice abusing players during practices from 2010 to 2012 in November. He responded by suspending the coach for three games, fining him $50,000 and ordering him to undergo mandatory counseling.
In a statement Wednesday, school president Robert Barchi said the initial decision to allow Rice to keep his job was based on the results of an independent investigation into the coach's conduct. Having personally reviewed the footage Tuesday, Barchi said he and Pernetti jointly took the decision to fire the coach for what he described as "a chronic and pervasive pattern of disturbing behavior."
The video's release prompted criticism from public figures including Gov. Chris Christie, who endorsed the decision to fire Rice in a statement Wednesday.
"Parents entrust their sons to the Rutgers Athletic Department and the men's basketball program at an incredibly formative period of their lives," he said. "The way these young men were treated by the head coach was completely unacceptable and violates the trust those parents put in Rutgers University. All of the student-athletes entrusted to our care deserve much better."
Democratic Senate President Steve Sweeney also questioned whether Pernetti should be allowed to "pick the new coach."
Pernetti said in an ESPN interview Tuesday that the video released was put together by attorneys for Eric Murdock, the team's former director of player personnel, whose contract wasn't renewed, Pernetti said. Murdock told ESPN that he alerted the athletic department to Rice's behavior on the tape and was fired for reporting it.
In a statement, Raj Gadhok, Murdock's attorney, said, "We are certainly pleased that the university has finally chosen to take the proper corrective action at this time. Of course, Mike Rice's termination was long overdue, but late is better than never."
New Jersey Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver said she expected "a full and detailed explanation" on why Rice wasn't fired sooner. She said she would "reserve judgment" on whether Pernetti should be fired, but was interested in looking into whether Murdock was terminated after raising complaints about the coach's behavior.
Rice was entering the fourth year of a five-year contract at Rutgers. He had a 44-51 record.

About Passport to Pimlico
Classic Ealing comedy set in the London borough of Pimlico in post-war England. After making safe a German bomb, the locals discover an old document, which outlines a secret treaty explaining that Pimlico actually belongs to the Duchy of Burgundy. Anarchy reigns as the restless natives decide to declare independence to avoid English laws, taxes and rationing. The Border Crossing scene in the London Underground is a classic.
