Pennsylvania Homes recently featured us in an article about Allenberry: Footlights Meet "I Dos" in Cumberland Valley. Check out some of what they have to offer for Pennsylvania Real Estate.
John Heinze, 74, retired Aug. 1, 2009 after serving as president of Allenberry Resort Inn and Playhouse since 1967.
His brother Jere Heinze, 65, the resort's current general manager, will be named president, and Jere's son, Charles A.B. Heinze II, 36, will be promoted from food and beverage director to general manager.
However, it is Charles Heinze who will be moving into his uncle's vacated office, Jere Heinze said, as the family continues the transition to its third and fourth generation of leadership.
We provide a unique setting for our guests to come and relax, eat, and be entertained. We also provide a great experience for many talented people who want to come here to work, whether in the theatre or in the restaurant. There is no place in the world like Allenberry.
Jere Heinze - who grew up on the property and lives there with his wife, Diane - has served as Allenberry's general manager since 1980 and is responsible for turning the summer resort into a year-round business.
As president, he hopes to build residential homes on Allenberry's 57 acres.
The family has been working for the past decade on The Breeches at Allenberry project - 128 homes and duplex units on 60 acres east of the facility. Connected to Allenberry by golf cart paths and walking paths, the development is targeted towards the 55-and-over crowd.
We have a lot of demand here. We've had a lot of requests from our longtime customers who'd like to retire along the Yellow Breeches. Allenberry has received the necessary approvals for the project and signed a contract with a "national developer". But about six months ago, he said, that developer pulled out due to the poor economy. "When the economy changes and the environment changes a little bit, we're perfectly positioned to develop what we think will be a premiere senior living arrangement".
Proud history In 1944, Charles A.B. Heinze purchased the private estate known as Allenberry and transformed it into a resort. When the property was incorporated in 1967, his oldest son, John, was named the first president of Allenberry Resort Inn and Playhouse. Over his 42 years as president, John Heinze made many changes at the resort - streamlining operations and adding buildings, a fine dining facility and tennis courts.
In 60 years, the Allenberry theatre has had only two producers, John and his father. With this transition, Jere Heinze will be come the third producer. The Heinzes have often appeared on stage through the years. In his retirement, John Heinze said he plans to travel and play golf with his wife, Kathy. A staunch supporter of Penn State, he also plans to spend time in State College, as well as visiting his two daughters, Cricket and Jackie, who live in New York and Los Angeles, respectively.
Jere Heinze created Allenberry's Murder Mystery Weekends and commissioned the original Christmas shows at the theatre. He is "proud" to be working alongside his son. Meanwhile, fourth-generation family members are working as lifeguards and in the kitchen. It's wonderful to know that this business my father started will remain Heinze-family operated, and I am eager to have Allenberry pass through many generations of Heinzes to come.
In 2005, Charles A.B. Heinze II returned to Allenberry to serve as its food and beverage director. Prior to that, he held management positions at the Loews L'Enfant Plaza in Washington, D.C., the Tavern Restaurant in State College and at both the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans and Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas Resort. Charles Heinze returned to Allenberry with his wife, Jennifer, and son, Charles III.
We are a family-run business, but all of our employees are also part of that family. All of our guests are part of that family. We are fortunate that we are able to host our guests in such a personable way, making sure they feel at home in this truly special setting.

Over the 60 years of Allenberry's life many awards have been bestowed upon Allenberry and it's fine family of employees.
Our greatest award is the return guest and their families of second and third generations. The Heinze's and the Allenberry family want to thank you and give you, our guest at the moment, the greatest award we can present ---- a warm and comfortable welcome of hospitality offering the finest in food, lodging, and entertainment.

If the Germans and French remain reluctant to put their money in the pockets by either using the ECB's potential firepower or create a special eurobond then they could themselves become the very nemesis of the single currency that they tell us they are so desperate to keep. Even so, risk aversion continues to whittle down the markets; at the time of writing the index is at 5380, down some 25 points. Traders are watching term support trends at 5335, 5300 and 5275; hopeful bulls out there will be looking for resistance at 5490, 5615/45. This near term downward trend sees the index capped by a downward trend line that also puts some resistance at 5450. Over the longer term now that the index has broken below its 200 day moving average and its upward trend line a close below 5400 could been seen as very negative and we're now in the territory of people not wanting to catch a falling knife.
While immediate market focus will remain on Europe and its affect on the macro picture, there are a couple of important pieces of data that UK investors should note. First, following a surprising improvement in April, unemployment numbers are likely to show a weakening labour market. There's little in the way of encouraging data from the UK at the moment, but last month's data was the first indication that unemployment is starting to peak. Job creation has come largely from part time rather than permanent work and the tick downwards to 8.3% in the rate of unemployment is expected to rise back to 8.4%. Second, it will be interesting to see whether the upcoming Bank of England's inflation report will encourage the central bank to stick to their hawkish guns or whether the confirmation of the double dip recession and a further downgrading of growth projections will result in a more dove-ish tone.
Other European indicators are not great either: Italian ten year yields have crossed back above 6% and for Spain back above 6.5%, meanwhile risk adverse investors piled into German bunds driving their cost of borrowing even lower. This is classic fear gripping the markets once again as the vicissitudes of 2012 look to be playing out in a very similar fashion to 2011. Financial markets detest uncertainty and at the moment they are riddled with them since Greece has been unable to form a government and has had to call for a new round of elections on 17th June. Up until that point we can expect volatility to remain high and continued pressure to the downside.
The euro made a low of $1.2720 as the situation in Greece continues to deteriorate. Bears sold the single currency heavily after socialist leader Evangelos Venizelos announced that talks to form a coalition government had failed and that the public would have to go back to the polls next month. Gold continued to fall as traders dumped risky assets and piled into the safety of the US dollar. Spot gold traded as low as $1541 an ounce. With little technical support seen until $1531 and no turn around in Greece on the horizon, the down trend looks set to stay firmly in place.
On top of all the European woes there's also the growing concern that China is slowing down quicker than was previously thought. Add any downturn to the euro crisis and it has negative connotations for global growth.
As ever, ladies and gentlemen, place your bets...

I got one of these as part of their 'scratch and dent' sale back around Memorial day. I'm very pleased with the results thus far. While this is definitely not a higher grade home brewing kit, the results are pretty hard to argue with and it's super easy to do. If you don't want to spend a small fortune on equipment, but are still interested, this is definitely the way to go. As with many hobbies, there are some great online forums on how to improve your Mr. Beer results.
As an avid homebrewer, i say "save your money". You can get started for about $100 with a kit and keep using the equipment. You won't be happy with the results from these. It's more a novelty.
@tapoutnc: This is exactly what I was about to ask. Thanks! Guess I'll just bide my time on this one.
i also am an avid home-brewer, and started off on a Mr. Beer kit. My first batch was horrible--very sweet and weird tasting. BUT, I researched and found out that the yeast was probably bad. So, I tried again with fresh yeast that I ordered online from a homebrew place, and voila! drinkable beer!
Basically, this is what I would get a kid for a science project on fermentation. It's not a bad way to learn the basics of the process. If what you're looking to do is step into homebrewing, though, just wait for a sale on the starter kit at Northern Brewer or something. It'll cost a bit more, but you'd be doing it anyway, and you'll save yourself the time, money and trouble you'd otherwise spend on this.
@midga59: LOL! Let's try composing that note to the teacher:
Dear Ms. Smith,
Please excuse little Johnny for bringing beer to school. We were just doing a science project on fermentation and...........
@tapoutnc: As an avid homebrewer, I say you have never tried this. The results are excellent, especially for someone just getting started. It's simple, and you learn the basics. No need to spend all day brewing.
You also keep all of the equipment and can reuse it over and over. Refills are available from the Mr Beer website, as well as many home-brewing stores.
You will have better results with the all-malt kits, as well as the recipes section of the website.
@tapoutnc: As a novice homebrewer, I have to disagree. This kit has yielded a couple of batches of delicious beer for me.
For $29 it's an inexpensive way to see if you're interested enough in the hobby to dedicate more money to it with more professional equipment. I'm sure if I were an avid homebrewer I'd be disappointed in the equipment, but as a novice, I found it easy to use and had everything I needed in one kit.
looks like a good way to get sick on some beer.
and you're not saving that much over amazon. If I wanted this I'd get it there for a couple dollars more and its shipping prime.
@luke975: Why spend a few more dollars for "free" 2 day shipping from Amazon when it's gonna take weeks to brew the beer? :-)
@rlw999: well thats a good point, but it'll take weeks to get it from thatdailydeal anyways. and what they said about the box being in less than great shape isn't comforting, if the box is damaged some of the contents might be. plus I guess I really like amazons no hassle return policy. In fact getting ready to use that policy on some cheap chinese made solar lights I bought for my porch.
I have one of these kits, and I'm tempted to get a second so I can do 5 gal batches. The plastic bottles work fine, but beer snobs will complain. Saving your pop top glass bottles and buying a cap and capper isn't expensive and adds a lot to the drinking experience.
@johnt007871: Exactly! There are a great way to get started, plus when you graduate to a better setup, reuse the fermenter to make small test batches to experiment with.
@luke975 When I ordered the 'scratch and dent' kit back in May, I wouldn't have called it that when I received it. Looked brand new to me. I've seen stuff on the shelves at my local stores in 10x worse condition. I think it's just a gimmick to move product, which works for both seller and consumer.
@johnt007871 I did the same thing, I have several cases of 22oz bottles from my homebrew days. I also soak my empty commercial bottles to lift the labels and reuse them. A capper will run you well under $20 and caps are practically free. I have 5 batches of Mr. Beer lagering at various ages right now.
@dpettus A lot of homebrewers with the more expensive equipment do exactly that.
This isnt much of a deal.... Amazon has it for $30.57 and free shipping (with Prime) andddd since I have an Amazon Visa I'll get reward points too.
@pleepleus: yeah I just don't like to gamble I guess. if somebody has a smoking deal, sure. otherwise amazon or if I want to try it on or get a better view, walmart.
@descentman: Well, for those of us who don't have Prime, this is still a good deal. I always check Amazon before I post, and I try to keep in mind that many folks don't have Prime.
I gotta agree with the others that were down voted. Pass on this and get a real starter kit from Northern Brewer, Morebeer, Adventures in Homebrewing, etc. It will be slightly more, about $100, but your product will be so much better, you will learn more about the process, and you will have more fun. Fun is what the hobby is really about. Dumping pre-hopped extract into water and pitching yeast isn't very much fun.
@midga59: Agreed. I bought one before I knew any better. Skip this and just buy a bucket kit off of Amazon.
I'm in for 1! Let the n00b brewing begin!...in 10 to 14 days :D
@pes5016: Be sure to post back about your results!

I've got a D3D9 application, which works fine on my machine. But when I send it to a friend, his machine won't render any of the 3D content. I already changed the build to enable all error-code checking and they all come back clean. How can I remotely debug why his machine's rendering is broken?
Here is something that may help.
Ask your friend to install the DirectX SDK, then launch the DirectX control panel. From there, select the debug runtime. Finally, tell your friend to launch PIX (included in the DirectX SDK, too) and record a whole frame of your program, then save the result and send it to you. You can run PIX locally in order to guide your friend around the software.
You can then replay the PIX stream on your box and you should get verbose information about what is happening.
Also, it is possible that running PIX on your own machine will tell you what your program is doing wrong.
Visual Studio does support remote debugging in the non-express editions. Instructions for setting it up are here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bt727f1t.aspx
On top of that you'll need some method of seeing the screen and speaking to your friend. I'd go with using Skype with their webcam pointed at their screen.
What steps have you taken, "enable all error-code checking" means nothing to us without knowing what errors you are checking or how. What exactly happens on your friend's machine and how is it different from when you run it, where do the differences show up?
Have you tried running the exact same files on your machine, but NOT in your development environment and from a freshly create directory? You need to do this to verify that all the files needed are present in the package and in the right place before going any further.
A common problem is only running the Debug version and then shipping a Release build, have you tried running the same build type that you send to your friend? Remember that Release will not zero-out allocations and this will cause some D3D initializations to do odd things because of the junk values in the parameter structures.
Look through your code, what could cause models to not render? Are the buffers created from the models NULL and the render is simply skipped, verify that kind of logic.
Do you check D3D device caps to see if it supports features you need? Are you simply choosing the primary device, or do you have a selector to choose which device?
Add logging to a text file, track your startup sequence and important loop events.
Do you track your models loading? How do you know that your models are loaded?
Does everything else work, do you have a HUD or any kind of other rendering in your D3D window that's working just fine or is all rendering broken?
So much can be done to log what's happening and debug locally before trying to find a remote, and more difficult method.

I'm trying to look at some statistics on the size of packages in the Ubuntu repositories, and I'm hoping to sort my searches of packages in the repositories by file size. Is there a command that will let me look at file sizes of packages in the repositories/cache, sort them by file size, etc? `apt-cache stats' doesn't provide all the information I'd like.
I'm interested in only the official repositories at the moment, and I'm interested in sorting all packages in the repositories, not simply the ones I have installed.

POWAY, Calif. – Led by their triple threat of patented shaft design technologies, Aldila (www.aldila.com) continued to dominate the wood and hybrid shaft manufacturer counts on the PGA Tour. At the McGladrey Classic, Aldila had 13 more wood shafts and nearly double the amount of hybrid shafts in play than their closest competitor, according to the Darrell Survey.By winning both the wood and hybrid shaft counts, it marked the 35th time in the past 39 events that Aldila has won both counts at a PGA Tour event.
Led by their latest shaft series, the RIP, "The Hottest Shafts In Golf" was also the #1 wood and graphite shaft brand of choice at the Miccosukee Championship on the NationwideTour.
"Aldila has developed three patented shaft design technologies, MLT, S-core and RIP, that offer players of all abilities optimum performance to maximize the potential of their individual swing," said Stewart Bahl, Aldila's Marketing Manager. "Reverse Interlaminar Placement Technology (RIP) transforms the shaft from the inside out providing players with shot control. RIP shafts offer golfers lower torque, increased tip stability and better tip stiffness control. S-core Technology™ (S-core) provides the golfer with stability through an innovative design incorporating a one-piece carbon fiber rib system. This helps the shaft stay more concentric during the golf swing thereby transferring maximum energy. Micro Laminate Technology (MLT) is designed using ultra thin layers of premium aerospace graphite that are matched with a proprietary thin profile shaft design that eliminate 'dead zones' in the shaft for precise feel.
Aldila's patented shaft design technologies provide the perfect balance of applied art and engineering. They are continually on the leading edge of the golf world through their relentless pursuit of the next best innovation. They do the experimenting so you don't have to. Pushing success to the edge and redefining how power should feel. Are you playing Aldila, or just graphite?

Find the area enclosed by the curve $x^2+y^2=|x|+|y|$ on the coordinate plane.
I have no idea how this curve looks like, therefore can't find the area. Please help. Thank you.
I have no idea how this curve looks like, therefore can't find the area. Please help. Thank you.
To get an idea of what the curve looks like, try different cases. For example, when $x\ge 0$ and $y\le 0$, you get $$x^2+y^2=x-y\iff x^2-x+y^2+y=0\\\iff\left(x-\frac 12\right)^2-\frac 14+\left(y+\frac 12\right)^2-\frac 14=0\\ \iff \left(x-\frac 12\right)^2+\left(y+\frac 12\right)^2=\left(\frac 1{\sqrt 2}\right)^2$$ So here the curve is part of a circle centered at $(1/2,-1/2)$ with radius $1/\sqrt 2$.
In the first place $S:=\{(x,y)\ |\ x^2+y^2=|x|+|y|\}$ is just a set. As $S$ is symmetric with respect to the axes we begin by determining the points of $S$ lying in the (closed) first quadrant $Q$. In $Q$ we have $|x|=x$ and $|y|=y$. Therefore $$S\cap Q=\{(x,y)\in Q|x^2+y^2=x+y\}\ .$$ Now the equation $x^2+y^2=x+y$ is equivalent with $(x-{1\over2})^2+(y-{1\over2})^2={1\over2}$ and describes a circle $C$ with center $({1\over2},{1\over2})$ and radius ${1\over\sqrt{2}}$.
It follows that $S\cap Q=C\cap Q$, and $S$ becomes the set you get by reflecting this intersection on the two axes. Now it should not be too difficult to compute the area enclosed by $S$.
Wolfram|Alpha shows you how the curve looks like. To obtain the area, first note that by symmetry we can concentrate on the first quadrant. There the equation is equivalent to $x^2 + y^2 = x+y\iff y^2 - y + (x^2-x) = 0$, so \[ y_{1,2} = \frac 12 \pm \sqrt{\frac 14 - (x^2-x)} \] The randicand is nonnegative for $x^2 - x \le \frac 14$, that is $0 \le x \le \frac 12(1 + \sqrt 2)$ (note that we are in the first quadrant, hence $x \ge 0$). $y_2$ is positive if moreover $x^2-x \ge 0$, that is $x \ge 1$. So the area is \begin{align*} A &= 4 \left(\int_0^1 \left(\frac 12 + \sqrt{\frac 14 - (x^2-x)}\right)\,dx + \int_1^{\frac 12(1 +\sqrt 2)} 2\sqrt{\frac 14 - (x^2 - x)}\, dx\right) \end{align*}
If you have a Mac, it came with wonderful free software called Grapher which can graph things like this easily.
Anyway, I think this one is best tackled in polar. We can work in the first quadrant to get rid of the absolute value signs and then multiply our answer by 4. We have $$ x^2 + y^2 = x + y $$ so $$ r^2 = r(\cos(\theta) + \sin(\theta)) $$ i.e. $$ r = \cos(\theta) + \sin(\theta). $$ The area is therefore $$ 4\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{1}{2}(\cos(\theta) + \sin(\theta))^2 d\theta. $$

The aortic valve is one of the four heart valves that control the flow of blood into and out of the heart. The aortic valve lets oxygen-containing blood to be pumped out of the heart, from the left ventricle (main pumping chamber of the heart) into the aorta (main artery delivering blood to the body). If the valve becomes abnormally narrow through a process of thickening and stiffening (aortic stenosis) the heart must work harder to pump the same amount of blood with each beat.
As the heart works harder, the heart muscle thickens (hypertrophy), and the heart chamber (ventricle) may become larger (dilate). Open-heart surgery to replace the diseased aortic valve is the standard treatment.
As an alternative to open heart surgery, the Medtronic CoreValve® System has been developed to replace a diseased aortic heart valve without the need for open heart surgery. This system allows the percutaneous aortic valve (study valve) to be implanted (inserted) through a long, thin flexible tube that is inserted through an incision in the skin and threaded through the bloodstream (percutaneous).
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine if replacing the aortic valve without open-heart surgery is as safe as or safer than open-heart surgery.
Participants will be paid for travel up to $50 for each visit.

The school year is almost over and the mountain of marking has not been whittled away to a reasonable sized pile. Let me tell you, nothing kills creativity like grading a few hundred undergraduate essays. So, I have been relying on other people to do the culinary thinking for me.
The first two recipes come from the recent issue of Vegetarian Times. I've never really looked at VT before, but when the kids came home selling magazine subscriptions as a school fundraiser I decided to give it a whirl (it was the only veggie option in the whole lot). First up: broccoli pesto. Amazing! The mint gives it a little bite and the hazelnuts are a nice change from walnuts.
Second up: Oyster Mushroom Rockefeller. This is from a section of recipes by the owners of Horizons in Philly. I made this for Easter Dinner with my family, and everyone enjoyed it, vegan or otherwise. The sauce is really rich (hence naming it after Rockefeller) but perfect for a special occasion when you need to bring a vegan entree to a dinner party. An added bonus is that you can make and bake it in about 30 mins. Lucky for you, VT has a digital edition of this issue online.
Third: biscuits from Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Everyday. He claims they are the best biscuits ever, and he is right. You start with a soft dough (almost a batter), then turn and fold it 4 times whilst heavily dusting with flour. Like puff pastry, this results in a laminated dough that rises high and fluffy in the oven.
Lastly, I made the beer-battered onion rings from American Vegan Kitchen. I know I shouldn't have, but I did. I have not had an onion ring in a decade or more, and these are the best I have ever had by far.

Stuff I've Made But Did Not Make Up
The school year is almost over and the mountain of marking has not been whittled away to a reasonable sized pile. Let me tell you, nothing kills creativity like grading a few hundred undergraduate essays. So, I have been relying on other people to do the culinary thinking for me.

That all looks fantastic! I looked up the Oyster Mushroom Rockefeller on VT, but couldn't find the recipe sadly. I love the broccoli pesto idea!

Oh gosh ... biscuits AND onion rings!! YUM!! I look at high fat items like these as a occasional splurges, and greatly enjoy them!
I've had a hard time finding a biscuit recipe I really like ... I'm eager to try this recipe by Peter Reinhart.

One question ... in the biscuit recipe from Peter Reinhart, what did you use for the heavy cream? Soy creamer?

As always, you make food look so good!
Love that VT has gone digital.
Thanks for the ideas and links. Dinners would be rather boring around here if it were not for this awesome blog, and your cookbook!

I actually like VT and have has really good results with their recipes. I've found that some issues are almost completely vegan and others have only one or two recipes. BUT, the non-vegan recipes are often very easily adapted--usually as simple as subbing or leaving off the cheese.

I'll take one of each, thank you. Broccoli pesto with mint and hazelnuts sounds perfect for spring!

I agree with everything you've said about the VT broccoli pesto. I am generally disappointed with my subscription, except for the baked apple cider doughnuts. But the broc pesto is a great recipe.
I've had success with a similar biscuit recipe from BakeWise by Shirley Corriher, but have not had time to post it.
I cannot wait to try those onion rings! I think I'll be putting dill in the batter.

I'm ashamed to say that we have yet to visit Horizons in their "new" (4-year-old) center city location. We went several times when they were "Horizons Café" and were located beside a health food store in the suburbs.
I make their pot roast recipe that was printed in the Inquirer several years back every Thanksgiving. It's awesome. That said, I'd love to try the Oyster Mushroom Rockefeller. Now, I just have to think of an occasion that warrants it! :)

That broccoli pesto was amazing. I added more hazelnuts than the recipe said for extra protein. Bumped the calories and fat up, but oh well. I needed the protein. I still prefer walnuts for pesto, however (they're also cheaper).
PS-Oh, I want those onion rings! I had some vegan ones a month ago, but those look better.

I'm excited to make the oyster mushroom dish! I'm new to fennel though and wondering...they mean the frond-y top, not the bulb, right?

Today i finally ordered the Bread Baker's Apprentice. Now i see i also have to purchase Artisan Breads Everyday :) These biscuits look delicious!
First things first though! After reading your and Reinhart's post on starters I am excited to experiment myself.
And thanx for your great blog! I love reading it and a while ago i ordered your recipe book for my boyfriend who is becoming a vegan dad himself within a couple of months :)

APPOINTED: Michael L. Thurston of Dover has been appointed sales manager of Beattys Builders.
Thurston brings 20 years of experience in sales, marketing and management to Beattys, a post-frame building manufacturer. In years past he was an assistant manager with Bob Evans and a kitchen manager at a Texas Roadhouse, leaving the restaurant business in 1999 to focus on sales with Abbot Foods Inc. in Columbus.
He graduated in 1983 from Carrollton High School and from Kent State University in 2011, and volunteers as a coach with Dover Youth Football and various community events, including the Tuscarawas County YMCA.
Beattys Builders is a premier post-frame specialist offering diverse, customized post-frame buildings.
HIGHER ED: According to statistics compiled by the Ohio Board of Regents, Eastern Gateway Community College's 16 percent increase in student enrollments this year was highest in the state.
The Board of Regents showed Eastern Gateway with 2,456 students enrolled for the fall 2011 semester, up 330 students from the year before.
Over the past five years Eastern Gateway's enrollments jumped by 42 percent, eighth-highest in the state behind Stark State College of Technology (82 percent); Wright State University (57 percent); Kent State University-Geagua (55 percent); Clark State Community College (52 percent); Ohio University-Lancaster and Miami University-Hamilton (tied at 45 percent); Northeast Ohio Medical University (43 percent); Eastern Gateway and Kent State University-Salem (tied at 42 percent).
Eastern Gateway's numbers also compare favorably nationally continuing to grow while other community college's report slow or stagnant growth.
"Our enrollment is really significantly higher than the national perspective," Laura Meeks, president of Eastern Gateway, said. "That's due in large part to the decision we made to have a four-county service area."
Eastern Gateway in 2009 expanded its service base to include Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties.
"It has everything to do with being able to serve four counties in our service district," Meeks said.
REBATE: Just in time for the holiday shopping season, AEP Ohio is offering customers an extra incentive to replace old, energy-guzzling refrigerators or freezers: A bigger rebate.
Now through Dec. 31, AEP Ohio customers replacing inefficient refrigerators and freezers will get a $50 rebate rather than the usual $35. That's a $15 increase, just for the holidays.
"Keeping outdated refrigerators and freezers running comes with a higher cost than most people realize," AEP Ohio's Jon Williams said. "The program gives customers an immediate way to start saving money for the new year. All they have to do is schedule an appointment with us to have their old, working refrigerator or freezer picked up, and four to six weeks after the pickup, they will receive a $50 rebate check in the mail.
Refrigerators and freezers manufactured before 1990 can use as much as 1,500 kilowatt hours a year, and recycling one can save up to $150 a year in energy costs.
To schedule a free, in-home appliance pickup, call (877) 545-4112 or visit gridSMARTOhio.com. To qualify, refrigerators and freezers must be at least 10 cubic feet in size and be operational at the time of pickup.
PROGRAM: Misty Teasdale, Family Place Coordinator for the Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County, presented "Programs with Impact: Early Literacy" at the Ohio Library Council state conference in Toledo. Teasdale shared information about how PLSJ educates parents, grandparents and caregivers in our community about how crucial the first three years a child's life is to their future success in school.

I felt especially off-target last night. And I think I cuss too much.
^^^Constructive criticism for myself.
When do we get to listen?
Things are crazy right now on my end, but I should be able to tackle it this weekend.
Also, for anyone who cares: would you rather have two regular length episodes (one next week and one during the holidays) or one double length episode with the next one sometime in January?
Are they distinctly separate episodes or do they run together? I hate two parters that don't work solo.
We have three different topics and twitter questions. They're loosely connected, but I'm pretty sure each can stand on its own.
Do whatever works best for you folk!
I feel bad for Chang. We were a wreck. I thought Chang said It Gets Better? It's funny really, I'm a science and computing nerd, but when we start recording, I completely flake. I think Chang intimidates me. And he needs to go back and watch some 80s movies.
I'm always glad I can make fun of you for being old and from Georgia.
The Country?
When Chang wrote in the first show notes that I didn't like agreeing with people, I didn't agree with him. But I don't think I did any agreeing in episode two either. I'm totally a contrarian and whatnot.
We did not deliver on our promise that it gets better. But we're okay with that. In this episode, we dive into the latest development in the search for Bigfoot, where vampires come from, and then try to sell each other some snake oil panaceas. In addition, Clint tells a lot of stories about growing up in Georgia. And his GI problems.
Oh hey, this is a long episode. Like, two hours long. You might want to pause somewhere along the way before you get sick of us, but it's totally your call.
Visit the website for links to the RSS Feed, iTunes subscription, or to stream or download directly. And follow @BinaryChode on Twitter if you haven't done so already.

2:07:29? You boys sure had a lot to say this week. I'll listen sometime soonish!
You would think. But it's more that we weren't going to do a whole lot during the holiday, so the next episode would be sometime in mid January.

Cranberry Jelly Made From Wild Fruit
Jelly is made from fruit juice and sugar. A gel structure will be achieved only if the mixture contains sufficient pectin. Often commercial pectin will be added to obtain this desired structure.
Extraction of juice from the fruit is the first step in the preparation of fruit jelly.
- Wash the fruit in cool running water.
- Crush berries and add 3 cups water, per pound of fruit.
- Bring to a boil in a covered stainless steel or enamel kettle and then simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Cool and strain through cheesecloth or a damp jelly bag.
American Highbush Cranberry Jelly Recipe
- 2 cups highbush cranberry juice
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
Measure juice, add sugar and stir well. Boil over high heat until jelly sheets from a metal spoon or to 220 – 222 degrees F. Remove from heat; skim off foam. Pour jelly into hot, sterilized half-pint jars to 1/4 inch of top and seal with two-piece canning lids.* Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
* The use of paraffin is no longer recommended. Minnesota Extension advises the use of two-piece lids.

Michael Jackson's Dermatologist and
Former Plastic Surgeon Talk
Everyone may have an opinion about the results of Jackson's epic transformation, but few understand the methods—what exactly was required to achieve the constantly evolving looks. To answer that, we talked to the people who knew Jackson and his face best: Steven M. Hoefflin, his plastic surgeon through the 1980s and '90s, and about a dozen others with medical expertise or knowledge of his case.
Theories abound about why Jackson chose to change so radically. One idea—the most prevalent—holds that Jackson suffered from a condition called body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a loathing of one body part that no amount of surgery can cure. "Michael viewed his nose like an anorexic views the body," says a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. "No matter how tiny his nose was, it was always too fat. He perceived it as opposite of what we saw." According to his dermatologist, Arnold Klein, however, Jackson was not immune to the often harsh criticism of the changes he made to his appearance.
BDD may explain the nose, but it doesn't illuminate why Jackson gradually erased every vestige of his heritage, and much of his gender, with a host of procedures. Ultimately, that may be a question without an answer.

Divers and Diving Technicians
Divers and diving technicians perform a wide variety of underwater jobs, both in oceans and in fresh water, using special underwater breathing equipment. The jobs include offshore oil well piping, building and repair of foundations and other underwater construction, salvage work, and ship repair and service. Diving technicians may serve as "tenders," or support workers, for divers. They often act as intermediaries between administrative, scientific, or engineering staff and other skilled workers in a wide range of marine activities. They are expected to be familiar with the many aspects of diving and its related equipment and must also be able to perform numerous skills while underwater.
Many divers also work as recreation specialists, teaching diving classes to the general public and supervising diving activities for resorts and cruise ships.
Approximately 3,600 commercial divers are employed in the United States.

How did they take issue to that?
I have no idea, I went to college instead because fuck the system.
I can never be a guest on this show, unless, you know, you want it to be over.
<3 Zodiac
First episode is in the can. We have set our lowest point.
If it can't be salvaged, I'll just turn it into an hour of Rihanna dance songs.
I dabble in trainwrecks.
I'm not sure I'd call myself a scientist. I majored in Respiratory Therapy, then Chemistry, then Music, before settling on Computer Science. I ended up dropping out as my career quickly outpaced my education. So now I'm like Gonzo. WHAT AM I?
You were a music kid? waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
Yes. i still have a couple of basses. My son is all about drums and guitar, so who knows. But fucking music history was so boring.
The only reason I have a minor in music is because I took a bunch of music history/theory courses. I can't play anything well, and I can only play the drums half-well.
I play drums too, I can also play the Alto Saxophone fairly well but it's been a few years so I'm sucky at reading music.
We have a few kinks to iron out on our end, but it'll get done soon.
For a first episode, we think it's pretty groovy. But we'd love to hear your feedback. Let us know what works and what doesn't. You can post your feedback in the forums or on the c-blogs. You can also shoot us an e-mail at binarychode [at] gmail [dot] com, or tweet us at @BinaryChode. And while you're at it, you should totally follow us too.

Episode 001: Hey dickbrain! It gets better
[There are times when Jon laughs really loud. If you're listening through headphones, err on the quieter side of things. This has been a public service announcement.]
For our first episode, we try to imagine what it's like being trapped in your body for 10 years and figure out why sperm (as well as all manner of sexual behavior) goes the way it goes. In addition, we learn that Clint cant imagine dealing with coma patients, Conor bases his science knowledge on Doctor Who, Jon hates mammals and the human race, and Levi hates agreement. But be safe in the knowledge that it does, indeed, get better.
If you like the music snippets that you heard, give Suck City by Black Math and bitterfly by etc. the full listen.

Galton Papers - slave trading in Africa
Slave trading in Africa - document 1.
Letter from Isabella Douglas to Joseph Strutt, 22 January 1792 [MS3101/C/E/5/16/10]
Extract from pages 2 & 3:
'&You will no doubt be surprised to hear that my brother is again quitting his native country & will sail for Africa in less than a fortnight having been appointed a few weeks ago a writer to the company of merchants trading to that country - I have been very unhappy about him & was at first startled at the idea of his encountering those savage climes, & even beheld it with horror - but on consideration I think the situation is a more eligible one than any he is likely to attain here & I find the geographers give so favourable an account of the climate that my fears are in a great measure quieted - the place he is I believe to reside at is James Island about a mile in circumference delightfully situated almost in the middle of the River Gambia on which the company have a fort mounted with cannon & a garrison which preserves the right of trading in that River - independent of the salary which is 0 p[e]r an[nu]m a writer has the privilege of trading in the country to any amount he chooses - the staples of which (gold dust, elephants teeth &, grieved am I to add human beings) turn to good account in England & the West Indies - the writers rise by seniority thro the different departments till they ascend to the governorship which is two thousand pounds yearly - their employment in the company's service does not take up above three or four hours daily, & the remainder of their time they may appropriate as they please&'
Slave trading in Africa - document 2.
Letter from William Archibald Douglas to Isabella Strutt, 15 April 1799 [MS3101/C/E/4/3/4]
Extract from pages 1 & 2:
'I have the pleasure to acquaint you that my capital daily undergoes some increase, and with the support I feel I shall in future receive from your valuable husband, I think my stay in this country cannot exceed 3 years. I am just closing a considerable sale I have effected for one of our late Governor in Chief, and tomorrow enter on another for my friend (and whom you will most likely one day see at Derby, he having a god daughter at school at Duffield) the Captain I returned to Africa with - The only thing I am now in want of to make a rapid fortune is a regular supply of India Goods from England, to sell for Gold Dust, to the Whites wholesale, and to the Natives retail. A man who turns his attention to these modes of commerce may do great things in Africa in a very short time, infinitely more than by directing his sole attention to the slave trade - a trade that certainly no man can embrace but from necessity - at present that necessity does not exist here, as from the great opposition that prevails, there is very little to be made by the slave trade.'
Slave trading in Africa - document 3.
Letter from William Archibald Douglas to Joseph Strutt, 1 April 1799 [MS3101/C/E/5/4/3]
Extract from pages 2 & 3:
'To shew you the emolument the execution of such an indent would produce I beg leave to annex a list of the cost in Europe and the selling prices in Africa. And as I have now entirely abandoned the slave trade, I shall be able to turn the whole of the indent into Gold Dust in about 2 months after the arrival of the same, so that I should have it in my power to make the Remittance within the limited time, say 12 months from the date of purchase&&emolument = salary or profit From page 3:&&I am therefore very anxious not to lose one moment respecting this shipment of the present indent. As I am now the only man in the Castle that does not buy slaves, and as there is likely to be a great opposition among the captains, so as to make them pass all articles that are in much demand for Gold Dust, or slaves only, the greater part of the Gold Dust in this part of the coast will most likely come into my hands&.'

It got a lot of hate, but I loved this film.
I bought this and another Blu-ray/DVD for the same price with free shipping for less than $20. CHA-CHING!
just once I want amazon to list something I want for $10.01 or $15.01 so us non-Prime'ers can get free shipping at exactly $25 of merchandise
@nflemming2004: When you're off by the penny, that's when you find the $1 classical music CD. It's less than the cost of shipping!
@nflemming2004: That's what filleritem.com is for.
@sutcliffe: we watched all the pre Avengers movies before Avengers came out and Thor was most improved by a second viewing. Branagh really got the balance right.
@rmsalt: Go to Best Buy, it's $10 there, and you don't have to buy anything else to get free shipping!

Firefighters recovered the body of a Doberman pinscher that drowned today in a pond that had a thin layer of ice, a fire department official said.
The incident was reported at 12:05 p.m. today in the area of 155th Street and Eisenhower Road.
Rick Huhn, chief of Leavenworth County Fire District No. 1, said ice less than 1/2 inch thick covered only about half of the pond. The dog apparently ended up under the ice.
The dog's owner waded into the water in an attempt to save the canine. But Huhn said the water was pretty cold.
Huhn said firefighters wore ice suits when they recovered the dog's body.

In D&D 3.5, the rule book says nothing about a Druid being able to tame or have a velociraptor. Could a Druid tame one and use it as his/her companion?

Yes, a Druid can have a dinosaur as an animal companion, but with some limitations according to the rules-as-written. A higher-level Druid has more options than just the basic list, as described in the alternative animal companions list. Starting at level 7, a Druid can choose a deinonychus as an animal companion.
But wait, you say, I'm asking about a velociraptor!
Yes, well, there's a funny story behind what we call "velociraptor." A "velociraptor" as they're popularly known is actually deinonychus. The movie Jurassic Park called them "velociraptor" because it's a cooler name, and people have been mixing them up ever since. Velociraptor was actually very small—about the size of a chicken—and not nearly as impressive as deinonychus.
This point is important, because D&D 3.5e calls them by their correct name, "deinonychus". And that precise dinosaur is a rules-as-written legal animal companion choice for a Druid of level 7 or greater. (Other dinosaurs are also on the list at higher levels.)
The caveat here is that the base companion starts out more powerful, so it gets a level penalty in its animal-companion benefits: you count as 6 levels lower for calculating your deinonychus' companion stats, feats, etc.
Yes, dinosaurs are animals and a number of them appear as options for the druid's Animal Companion, particularly in the Player's Handbook, Monster Manual III (which has a dinosaur skull on the cover), and the Eberron Campaign Setting (in Eberron, dinosaurs roam the Talenta Plains and many species are domesticated by the halflings who live there).
Options for a "raptor-like" dinosaur Animal Companions:
Also worth noting that all dinosaurs have the Animal type, which means Handle Animal and Wild Empathy also work on them.

Inflation and US domestic politics are likely to limit the amount of LNG exported from proposed projects in North America to around 60 MMtpy to 70 MMtpy over the next decade, Royal Dutch Shell's chief financial officer, Simon Henry, said.
By SELINA WILLIAMS
Constructing the export
infrastructure alone would cost around $300 billion, with
additional costs to develop the gas production to support the
projects, Mr. Henry said.
"If you get inflation, which you certainly would if everyone's
building at once, that's going to be a constraint. The other
constraint is going to be in Washington [D.C.], where, at some
point, the [US] government will decide that exporting cheap
American energy and cheap American jobs to our competitors is
no longer acceptable," Mr. Henry told reporters on the
sidelines of an industry event in London.
To date, only Cheniere Energy has approval to ship 2.2 billion
cubic feet per day of LNG from the Sabine Pass export facility
in Louisiana to countries not covered by US free trade

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A Topeka health care organization is suing the City of Topeka and Shawnee County to pay the medical bills of a convicted kidnapper.
Jesse Dimmick was fleeing a murder charge in Colorado in September 2009 when he took a Dover couple hostage in their home. An officer's weapon accidentally discharged while taking Dimmick into custody and Dimmick suffered a gunshot wound as a result.
A hospital spokesperson confirms Stormont-Vail HealthCare and Cotton-O'Neil Clinic are suing to recoup the Medicaid-rate costs of Dimmick's care. Court documents show that amount at more than $41,000. The actual bills topped $180,000.
Shawnee County Commissioners will acknowledge receiving notice of the lawsuit at their meeting Monday.

Is there a particular way to manipulate a grain bill to change the color of the head of a beer? Ie if you want an off-white head in an RIS as opposed to a brown head?
I think you want red food coloring. This will definitely give you a pink head and won't be noticable in the dark stout beer itself.
I do this every year with green coloring on St. Patricks day and it works great!
A few drops per 12oz beer should be good.
I don't understand the chemistry behind it, but its pretty straight forward. Roasted barley is unmalted, where chocolate or black patent has been malted. When using roasted barley the head on a stout stays tanish in color. When you rely on the malted versions of dark roasted grains they contribute darker colors to the head. Think the difference between classic dry stout (all roasted barley) and a classic English Porter (primarily black patent and chocolate malts). The dry stout has the off white head, where the porter carries that browner chocolately head.

I'm having some trouble understanding a homework question and would appreciate some help.
The question is as follows:
Jenny charges a capacitor with the help of a battery. She then removes the battery and halves the distance between the two plates. How does the energy conserved in the capacitor change?
I solved the question like this:
$E=\frac{U}d$ and $U= \frac{W}Q$
$\implies W=EQd$
Hence, the energy doubles (as $E=\frac{U/d}2 \implies 2E=\frac{U}d$)
$W$ = energy, $E$ = Electric field intensity, $Q$ = charge, $U$ = voltage, $d$ = distance
This answer doesn't make any sense to me, considering the law of conservation of energy (So, Where did all that energy come from?)
It also turns out that my answer is wrong, in fact the energy is halved. This also doesn't make any sense to me, what am I missing?

I have read that table index compression happens just in MyISAM, but I came across an article in dev.mysql that said: InnoDB supports table and index compression! So now what is the pros of MyISAM? Is there any reason left to use MyISAM? (except full-text search)

Recovering Disk Space
As far as recovering InnoDB diskspace goes, you only have to migrate data out of ibdata1 and import it back one time if you enable innodb_file_per_table.
Once you do that, any InnoDB table that gets bloated can be shrunk. For example, if you have an InnoDB called
Restoring Databases
@Craig is totally right on MyISAM.
As for InnoDB, restoring tables individually can be a nightmare. This is the case because tables are either inside ibdata1 (innodb_file_per_table=0) or outside (innodb_file_per_table=1).
Compression In InnoDB
It exists in the InnoDB version at the table level as of MySQL 5.1. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/innodb-plugin/1.0/en/.
Two advantages on the MyISAM side that I appreciate.
Recovering Disk Space
In MyISAM, you can delete a database on the File System without impacting the other databases and recover disk space. With InnoDB the ibdata file does not shrink when you remove databases. I have only been able to recover space in the ibdata file by deleting it and then restoring each remaining database. Perhaps someone knows a better way?
Restoring Databases
Another advantage to MyISAM is being able to restore a database using a backup system like bacula or Acronis. With MyISAM I can copy a database into and out of MySQL via file system commands, once again without affecting the other databases. With InnoDB, I have to do everything via the a MySQL client.
So I think that MyISAM is simpler to manage in certain situations. In a database that had a mixture of MyISAM and InnoDB, you would probably only be able to restore specific tables, but I haven't tried that yet.
As far as performance goes, a white paper from MySQL I recently read about 5.5 shows that InnoDB is better.

One of the sweetest byproducts of the new paradigm in the music business, where artists can forge a successful career without benefit of a major record label, is that performers like Shelby Lynne can follow their muse wherever it may lead.
While Lynne, 45, first became known as a country music songwriter two decades ago, her inability to be confined to that genre has been liberating, as her music has explored soul, rock, blues and gospel, among other things. Saturday night's 80-minute show at the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River was another eye-opening journey through all the musical flavors that make up the 2014 Lynne, delivered in a trio format that added even a sort of minimalist jazz tinge to the material.
The last time we heard Lynne, at this same venue in March 2012, she performed solo, in an intimate show that resembled a night in your living room. Saturday's show, with Ed Maxwell on acoustic bass and Ben Peeler on guitar and a lap-guitar that allowed him to play some marvelous slide guitar, presented Lynne in a more expansive way. Playing mostly rhythm on her guitar, Lynne was able to really stretch out to the real power in her voice, belting out the kind of soaring sustains and virtual roars, in a song like the cathartic "The Road I'm On," that can ignite a whole arena.
If the vibe was wholly different than the previous solo show, the slender 5'1 singer still had the near-sellout crowd of 260 fans enraptured from her first notes.
Lynne's most recent release was "Thanks," a five-song EP she put out last December. That disc has a couple of songs with strong gospel roots, and those songs were standouts last night, but not in the sense of being the traditional gospel you might expect. "(When You Gonna) Call Me Up?" for example, was a buoyant sprint, rollicking along joyfully as the chorus neatly rode the ambiguous meaning of whether it was a spiritual query, or a plea to a more secular being--either way, Lynne's passion and vitality made it indelible.
Later, Lynne's soulful take on "Walkin' (In the Steps of the Lord)" was delivered with spine-tingling vocal swoops, as Peeler's slide guitar lines crafted exquisite accents. Lynne noted she loved Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Mahalia Jackson, and needed to sing some gospel on her recent EP. "But it's nothing crazy, I'm still a bad girl," Lynne added with a devilish grin. "I just need some spiritual inoculation.."
Lynne squeezed in about 20 songs in her set, touching on a wide range of her career's best. The twangy ballad "Johnny Met June" is always a cool nod to Johnny Cash.� "Your Lies" may have approached arena-rock power, but the down-home simplicity of "Where I'm From" was superbly drawn. The subtly rocking "Jesus on a Greyhound" was a masterpiece of vulnerability and hard-earned wisdom, while "Iced Tea" was quiet affirmation of what matters.
Two songs from her 2008 album of Dusty Springfield's music were transcendent; a stunning "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" with an a capella start, and a jazzy take on the 1963 Burt Bachrach-Hal David classic "Anyone Who had a Heart."
Shelby Lynne's heart is in her music, which makes her a can't-miss singer, whatever style she decides to explore.

ROUND ROCK (February 5, 2013)—Round Rock-based personal computer maker Dell is selling itself for $24.4 billion to its founder and global technology investment firm Silver Lake, a group of investors that includes Microsoft, in the largest deal of its kind since the Great Recession dried up financing for such risky maneuvers.
The complex agreement announced Tuesday will end Dell Inc.'s nearly 25-year history as a publicly traded company.
Shareholders are receiving $13.65 per share for their stock.
The deal reflects Dell's desire to engineer a turnaround attempt away from the glare and financial pressures of Wall Street.
Founder Michael Dell will remain the company's CEO and largest shareholder.
He already owned a nearly 16 percent stake in the company, which is based in Round Rock, Texas.
Microsoft Corp. is taking part in the deal with a $2 billion loan.
"I believe this transaction will open an exciting new chapter for Dell, our customers and team members< Dell said in a press release Tuesday.
"Dell has made solid progress executing this strategy over the past four years, but we recognize that it will still take more time, investment and patience, and I believe our efforts will be better supported by partnering with Silver Lake in our shared vision.
"I am committed to this journey and I have put a substantial amount of my own capital at risk together with Silver Lake, a world-class investor with an outstanding reputation. We are committed to delivering an unmatched customer experience and excited to pursue the path ahead," he said.

OHSAA constitution or by-laws have nothing to do with non athletic issues, that is left up to the local BOE. What regulations or rules did they break? Any criminal activity on an individual's part is handled by the state BOE (coaches qualifications) but it is back into the schools BOE.

On professional social network sites (like LinkedIn) there are terms like 'recommend someone' or 'endorse someone'. What could be an alternative term that is somewhat lighter in meaning as compared to endorsing someone, but rather more inclined towards meaning 'to appreciate someone in academic or professional context or to appreciate his works'?
I need to use a noun as well as a verb of the term.

NBA's Jason Collins Reveals He's Gay
Jason Collins, a 12-year NBA veteran, most recently for the Washington Wizards, became the first active athlete from one of the four major American pro-sports leagues to publicly reveal he is gay with a first-person account in a Sports Illustrated cover story this week.
"I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay," Collins wrote in the story.
Collins said he pondered coming out in 2011 during the NBA lockout, when the labor stoppage gave him plenty of free time and "forced me to confront who I really am and what I really want." It took a little more time, however, since he didn't come out to his brother, fellow NBA player Jarron, until last summer. He called the move to make the announcement preemptive "I shouldn't have to live under the threat of being outed. The announcement should be mine to make, not TMZ's," he wrote, adding that the only nod he gave to his sexuality this season was wearing then number 98 to honor the antigay hate crimes that occurred in 1998, specifically Matthew Shepard, a Wyoming student who was murdered.
"It's nothing he's not prepared for, you couldn't ask for a better, more eloquent role model," said John Amaechi, a former NBA center who came out after his playing career ended. "He's well-equipped for what's to come and he'll become the de-facto spokesperson for all things gay in sports. I am more than happy to relinquish that mantle to him."
Amaechi said he spoke with Collins often in the runup to the story and met with Jason's brother, Jarron, in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. The meeting, which lasted hours, left Amaechi with the notion that Collins' family is incredibly supportive. "The problem won't be from his teammates, it won't be from the NBA, that's a machinery that is already well-advanced with an insistence of performing at your best."
Amaechi cautioned that the move won't be "a tipping point," and that acceptance of gays in America will rely more on congress than basketball. Still, he said he's already heard from college and high school athletes who want to come out.
"As [deputy commissioner] Adam Silver and I said to Jason, we have known the Collins family since Jason and Jarron joined the NBA in 2001 and they have been exemplary members of the NBA family," NBA commissioner David Stern said in a statement. "Jason has been a widely respected player and teammate throughout his career and we are proud he has assumed the leadership mantle on this very important issue."
Collins, who is a free agent, said he doesn't mind if fans heckle him. He hasn't come out to anyone in the NBA. "I've been booed before. There have been times when I've wanted to boo myself," he wrote. He said the Boston Marathon bombings changed his perspective on coming out since, he realized, circumstances in life can quickly change.
"We are extremely proud of Jason and support his decision to live his life proudly and openly," said Washington Wizards team president Ernie Grunfeld. "He has been a leader on and off the court and an outstanding teammate throughout his NBA career. Those qualities will continue to serve him both as a player and as a positive role model for others of all sexual orientation."
Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers, Collins's former coach, said he is "extremely happy and proud" of Collins. "If you have learned anything from Jackie Robinson, it is that teammates are always the first to accept. It will be society who has to learn tolerance," Rivers said.
Aaron McQuade, head of GLAAD's sports program, said in a statement, "We hope that his future team will welcome him, and that fans of the NBA and sports in general will applaud him. We know that the NBA will proudly support him, and that countless young LGBT Athletes now have a new hero."
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace tweeted a remark that questioned why anyone would want to be homosexual. "All these beautiful women in the world and guys wanna mess with other guys," he wrote. A Dolphins spokesperson said that Wallace has apologized for the comments. "We believe in a culture of inclusiveness and respect," the spokesman said, "and any statements to the contrary are in no way acceptable to our organization."

Animation Features request
Hi ,
It's possible to have animation feature (like extjs ) in collapsed panel in borderlayout , accordianLayout , dialog box showing , etc ...
Thanks for your reply.
23 Apr 2008 8:14 AM #2
These types of animations are not a priority right. GWT 1.5 now includes animation support and a way to manage and run effects. We are considering changing the core fx code to utilize the GWT code, but this would not happen anytime soon as we are trying to push out higher priority items right now.

So I'll try this BOC thing again

We want you to be happy with them, but we also want you to be sure and choose a husband the whole family can be proud of." With that, they send their children forth to find mates.
A few months later the first daughter returns. "Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet my fiance, Peter Potato. Peter's from Idaho."
"Idaho! Wonderful! Welcome to the family, Peter."
A few months after that the second daughter comes home. "Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet my fiance, Paul Potato. Paul is from Maine."
Pt. 2: "Maine! Well, delighted to meet you, Paul." A few months after that, the third daughter walks in. "Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet my fiance, Tom Brokaw."
"Um...would you excuse us for a moment, Tom?"
The parents take the third daughter aside and tell her that they do not approve of this match and will cut her out of the will if she goes through with it.
"But Mom! Dad! I thought you'd be thrilled! What's the matter with Tom Brokaw?"
"Don't you understand? He's a common tater!"
