I cannot find the kanji for hito, as in the name Hirohito, in my Modern Reader's Japanese-English Character Dictionary (Andrew Nelson). When I searched online I found that the hito was shown as a four stroke kanji, written as nimben and two horizontal strokes similar to the number two. I searched with the nimben and rod radicals with no success. Can someone help me out here?

There is 仁, which fits all of your descriptions. You wouldn't have found it with the rod radical, because the rod is a vertical line. Most digital dictionaries have a search function by stroke number as well (or at least order the results by stroke number), which would have helped. Plus [二]{に} is actually a traditional radical.

Names on a Map (Paperback)
The Espejo family of El Paso, Texas, is like so many others in America in 1967, trying to make sense of a rapidly escalating war they feel does not concern them. But when the eldest son, Gustavo, a complex and errant rebel, receives a certified letter ordering him to report to basic training, he chooses to flee instead to Mexico. Retreating back to the land of his grandfather--a foreign country to which he is no longer culturally connected--Gustavo sets into motion a series of events that will have catastrophic consequences on the fragile bonds holding the family together.
Told with raw power and searing bluntness, and filled with important themes as immediate as today's headlines, Names on a Map is arguably the most important work to date of a major American literary artist.

The new Fluor partnership will be named Supreme Modular Fabrication. The 50/50 partnership will own, operate and deliver a full range of unique module assembly and fabrication services to the Canadian market place from its 50-plus-acre module yard near Edmonton, Alberta.
Fluor announced Monday that it is combining its modular design
expertise with the fabrication and construction capabilities of Supreme
Group, a Canadian based-company that specializes in fabrication
and module assembly across Canada.
The new partnership will be named Supreme Modular
Fabrication. The 50/50 partnership will own, operate and
deliver a full range of unique module assembly and fabrication
services to the Canadian market place from its 50-plus-acre
module yard near Edmonton, Alberta.
This partnership allows Fluor to now deliver a fully integrated
self-performed engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction (EPFC) solution to a
wide range of projects across Canada.
We are truly excited about the fabrication partnership
with Supreme where both of our companies are bringing together
the best talent and best offerings to meet the needs of our
clients, said Peter Oosterveer, president of Fluors
energy and chemicals business. With our unique modular and
fabrication capabilities in the market, we will be able to
deliver an integrated EPFC solution that will provide
significant cost and schedule opportunities and benefits for
our clients."
There are significant gains for Supreme in our
association with Fluor, a global industry leader, to create
this new module and fabrication company, added John
Leder, chief operating officer of Supreme Group. Within
this new company, we will be able to offset many of the risks
associated with field construction by executing more of the
field content in our modular facility."
Fluor says it has maintained a strong presence in the
Canadian market for more than 60 years by providing world-class
engineering, procurement, construction and project management services. The
company has more than 3,000 professionals working in
offices in Calgary, Vancouver and numerous project sites.
Through innovative offerings, such as Fluors
3rd Gen Modular Execution design, we are seeing
increased levels of construction work move from the
field to controlled, productive and less costly work environments like modular
fabrication yards, said Garry Flowers, president of
Fluors global services group.
In September 2012, Fluor unveiled a similar modular
fabrication partnership with AG&P in the Phillipines.

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.

Each year, sadly, the UW loses community members to suicide. Suicide and self-harm affect people of all races, genders, sexual orientations, social classes, ages, and abilities.
Learn the warning signs and how to help those who may be considering harming themselves. If you are considering suicide, there is help for you.
Some Warning Signs of Suicide Information adapted from The Crisis Clinic
Potential Emotional Indicators
- Hopelessness/Helplessness
- Panic/Anxiety
- Feelings of guilt and/or shame
- Depression
- Moodiness
- Irritability/anger
- Increased crying
- Persistently sad or "empty" mood
- Sudden euphoria or happy/calm mood
- Feelings of worthlessness
Potential Behavioral Indicators
- Talking about suicide, making a plan, or preoccupation with death
- Giving prized possessions away
- Change in weight/appetite
- Increase or decrease in sleep
- Dangerous or impulsive behavior
- Injuring self
- Drug or alcohol abuse
- Previous suicide attempts
- Family history of suicide attempts
- Withdrawal from family/friends
- Preparation for death (i.e. setting one's affairs in order)
- Loss of interest in things that one normally cares about
If you think your friend or colleague is considering suicide, stay calm, but take your suspicion seriously. The following are actions you can take to possibly save a life.
Intervention Strategies
- Ask the person, "Are you thinking about killing yourself?" If a person has been thinking of suicide, he or she will be relieved and grateful that you were willing to be so open and non judgmental.
- If their reply is "yes," ask, "Do you have a plan?" and "Do you have access to your method?" (examples: gun, rope, medication, carbon monoxide).
- Next, ask "When will you do it?" Asking this question will give you an idea whether or not the person is in immediate danger. If you feel he or she is, do NOT leave them alone. A suicidal person must see a doctor or psychiatrist immediately.
Do not try to minimize the person's problems by telling him or her how hurt their family would be or that they have everything to live for. The person needs to be reassured that there is help available, that what he or she is feeling is treatable, and that his or her suicidal feelings are temporary. Never keep a plan for suicide a secret.

paging grid params
One of my grids is loaded by sending several filter options that modify a db query, without these params the query cannot be constructed. In adding paging I have found that while I load the grid with the needed params the first time it does not send the orginal params for each page click. Is there a better way to do this than attaching a listener to a beforeload event and moding baseparams each time?
My initial store load:
store.load({params: {filter: filter, data: data, start:0, limit:25}});
6 Aug 2009 6:26 AM #2
6 Aug 2009 6:28 AM #3
I know I could use setbaseparams on a click of the paging toolbar, im wondering if there is a better builtin way to use the params that were sent in the store in the last request.
6 Aug 2009 6:31 AM #4
My server is expecting filter and data each time along with start and limit, filter and data are not static they change based on the view. So I load my grid during the initial load with filter, data, start and limit, now someone clicks a page button and filter and data are not included in the next request sent. It seems like there should be some built in method of using the same params that were sent the time before without having to create a listener and set and modify base params on every click.

You could also do this:
Ext.override(Ext.PagingToolbar, { doLoad : function(start){ var o = {}, pn = this.getParams(); o[pn.start] = start; o[pn.limit] = this.pageSize; if(this.fireEvent('beforechange', this, o) !== false){ var options = Ext.apply({}, this.store.lastOptions); options.params = Ext.applyIf(o, options.params); this.store.load(options); } } });

Are you using remote sorting? Wouldn't that have an issue with params too?

Thanx a lot Condor this works perfectly. Really hope they include it
Been struggling for hours trying to get the paging working with my filtering

If you're not using anything that uses Frontpage extensions, then yes you can get rid of them.
Firstly, turn off Frontpage extensions on the web server. Then in Frontpage under Tools > Page Options > Authoring select "None". Then you can delete all the Frontpage folders that start with a

The 6 Most Hilarious Failures in Music Censorship History
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 percent of the people reading this think music censorship is stupid. But it's not going anywhere -- music is a business, and if advertisers or retailers think a song about boners or racism is bad for business, they'll push to get that shit shut down. We can only take solace in the fact that at some point, censorship often descends into hilarious self-parody. For instance ...
#6. An Album With No Lyrics Earns a "Parental Advisory" Sticker
For whatever reason, the wives of public figures in the 1980s were expected to be sanctimonious moral crusaders, and Tipper Gore was the most crusadingest of all.
That's her dancing to (presumably) 2 Live Crew.
In 1985, Gore co-founded the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC), an advocacy group that sought to restrict the youth's access to such dangerous and prurient songs as Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" (which is currently terrorizing civilization as an Extended Stay America commercial). During an August 1985 Senate hearing on the PMRC's proposals to censor undesirable music, noted Satanic perverts Frank Zappa, Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider, and, uh, John Denver eloquently spoke out against the PMRC's efforts (and failed to subsequently form the world's most evil supergroup).
Zappa in particular spoke maybe a smidge too eloquently for his own good. In explaining to Congress how it is parents' responsibility to pay attention to what their children are listening to, Zappa compared the PMRC's agenda to a "sinister kind of 'toilet training program' to house-break all composers," and their mission to "treating dandruff by decapitation." Here's part of his testimony. And as for Zappa's explanation as to how the PMRC scored a Senate inquiry, it went a little something like "a couple of blow jobs here and there and bingo, you get a hearing!"
So when the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) began slapping "Parental Advisory" stickers on albums at the PMRC's behest, it wasn't entirely surprising that Zappa's next album, the 1986 Grammy winner Jazz from Hell, carried one of these labels. No, what was surprising was that Jazz from Hell was entirely instrumental, leaving the sonic naughtiness up to the listener's imagination.
It's unclear whether the RIAA took umbrage with the album's title, a single electronic track dubbed "G-Spot Tornado" (above), or the fact that, during the 1985 Senate hearings, Zappa accused the Washington wives of being a cult "intent on running the Constitution of the United States through the family paper shredder," but we wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter.
#5. Columbus, Georgia: The City Where Cursing in Concert Got You Sent to Jail
In 1987, the Beastie Boys were just three snotty white kids from New York who were making music that was scientifically engineered to piss off as many people as possible. Their early stage shows involved 20-foot inflatable dongs, cage dancers, and asking female concertgoers to ventilate their bosoms (here's video evidence that, prior to discovering Buddhism, the rap trio used to be like the Little Rascals, but drunk).
"What do you guys need the whipped cream for? Are we having pie?"
So when the band's tour came to Columbus, Georgia, lawmakers were so offended by the pneumatic penises and lyrics about the unsafe usage of whiffle ball equipment that they passed an anti-lewdness ordinance three weeks later.
And that meant that throughout the early 1990s, unless you wanted to go to jail, you only played Columbus if you were Pat Boone. Ice-T, upon being told that he'd be arrested if he used the word "fuck" -- which is like threatening to toss Usher in the slammer for using the word "girl" -- famously canceled his show and then expressed his displeasure using the power of song ("Columbus, Georgia, you can suck my dick! You ain't nothin' but a piece of fuckin' shit on the damn map!")
"Watch NBC, motherfuckers."
But enforcement of this ordinance was swift and merciless. In the ensuing years, performers like Bobby Brown, Too Short, LL Cool J, and Gene Simmons were arrested by Columbus law enforcement during concerts. Granted, they didn't actually get prison time, and in fact getting charged for the minor infraction amounted to little more than free publicity for the musicians (and a reminder to the rest of the country to never move to Columbus). For instance, after posting his $652 bail at the Columbus police station, Brown returned onstage to finish his set. His crime? Pumping his hips too much.
#4. The BBC and Clear Channel: Guarding Your Ears During Wartime
The BBC has a long history of banning songs from the airwaves for weird reasons -- for example, "Monster Mash" was initially verboten because it was "too morbid."
Via Spectrumculture.com
Even though we clearly would have accepted "really dumb and kind of annoying" as an excuse.
But those dark years during the first Gulf War were clearly a time to further protect the public's fragile sensibilities from songs they had been hearing for years. So, in deference to the conflict in Iraq, the Beeb's long list of forbidden music was expanded to include songs with titles that tangentially referenced death and other distressing topics. Mostly this list demanded that the listener perform some tortuous mental gymnastics. OK, a BBC-banned song like "Killing an Arab" by the Cure sort of made sense (if you had zero clue it was a reference to the Albert Camus novel The Stranger). But "(I Just) Died in Your Arms Tonight"? Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire"? Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"? If a member of the public is thrust into a dark cloud of post-traumatic stress by the sound of Tears for Fears, it's probably better to just take away their radio. They are just as likely to be reminded of the horrors of war by an ad for arthritis cream.
"Sowing the seeeeeds of loooooove -- seeeeds of- OH, GOD, THEY'RE RIOTING!"
But before any Americans in the readership roll their eyes at how weird the British get about this sort of thing, keep in mind that the same thing happened in the USA a decade later. In the days following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, American super-mega-ultra-conglomerate Clear Channel issued a memorandum listing songs that they strongly suggested their stations (see: pretty much all U.S. radio stations) avoid playing. On Clear Channel's list, tracks like the Gap Band's "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" were selected alongside a ton of completely head-scratching singles like the Beatles' "Ticket to Ride," the Rolling Stones' "Ruby Tuesday," and the Bangles' "Walk Like an Egyptian."
"Walk (kill) like (your) an Egyptian (parents)."
Also, every single Rage Against the Machine song was notably poo-pooed by Clear Channel, as the Founding Fathers absolutely hated guitars that sound like turntables. Ditto goes for "I'm on Fire" (again), because nobody understands that the song was just Bruce Springsteen surreptitiously confessing that he's the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four.

Betrayal of Trust (Mass Market Paperbound)
At first glance, what happens on the video appearsto be a childish game: a teenage girl with dark, wavy hair smiles for the camera, a blue scarf tied around her neck. Then things turn dark andgruesome, and the girl ends up dead.
When a snuff film is discovered on a cell phone belonging to the governor of Washington State's grandson a boy with a troubled background who swears he doesn't know the victim the governor turns to an old friend, J. P. Beaumont, for help. Of the many horrors the Seattle private investigator has witnessed over the years, this one ranks near the top especially since the crime's multiple perpetrators might well be minors.
But this case of an apparent juvenile prank gone hideously wrong has deeper, more startling implications, leading Beau and Mel Soames his partner in life and work down a twisted path of corruption and lies that must be exposed before more young lives are obliterated.

Please clarify what a continuation bet is in poker, what its purpose is. And if possible, when is it most useful within Texas Holdem?
By definition, a continuation bet is a bet made on one betting round after you were the aggressor in the previous betting round. Continuation bets are typically made regardless of whether or not the cards that came improved your hand. Most often the term applies to bets made during the second round of betting (the flop in Texas Hold'em) after aggression during the first round of betting (preflop in Texas Hold'em).
There are a lot of specific situations that can vary things a lot, but as a general rule, it is best to make a continuation bet when it is likely that your opponent will believe your hand is still better than theirs. This can be a result of the board seeming unlikely to have improved your opponent's hand, a result of the board seeming likely to have improved your own hand, or in some cases a result of your hand being so strong that it did not need improvement.
The key concept to keep in mind about deciding whether or not to make a continuation bet is that you want the story your bets tell about your hand to be believable, particularly if your continuation bet is a bluff.
First, to answer the specific question "What is a continuation bet?"
If you are the aggressor preflop and then are the first to bet on the flop, the bet you made on the flop is a "Continuation Bet." It is called this because had the initiative preflop and are now continuing your aggression postflop. Continuation bets aren't only made on the flop. If you raised the flop and then bet the turn, you've made a continuation bet on the turn. That is all that a continuation bet is -- the questions of what its purpose is and when to do it are much harder to answer.
In order to answer that question why you do it, I think it's best if we first start by thinking about why we make bets in poker to begin with. There are really only 3 reasons to bet in poker:
Almost every bet in poker has either a Value or Bluff component to it, or both. Since you can never have perfect knowledge about your opponents' holdings unless they show their hands down, many times when you bet for Value you also want a few folds as well, and vice versa.
There is a special circumstance which commonly arises in poker that might seem like a reason to bet, but really is just a combination of #1 and #2. That is to force your opponent to surrender his equity in the pot, especially when neither of you have anything. This is one of the most common reasons to make a continuation bet. Consider:
You have KTo on the Button in a No-Limit Holdem game where everybody has 100 BB stacks. One player opens for a limp, and you raise on the button to 5x the BB. The blinds fold, and the limper calls. The flop come A72, rainbow. Your opponent checks to you, and you are confident that he has a very weak hand. What should you do?
Assuming your opponent doesn't have an Ace, you both have garbage hands. Even though both of you have garbage hands, you still both have a certain ammount of equity in the pot. How much depends on your opponent's actual holding. For the sake of argument, let's suppose he has 6h5h. You have the best hand for now, but he has about 6 outs, not counting any redraws. According to the rule of 2 & 4, he has about 25% Equity in this pot, leaving you with 75% equity. If you bet and he folds, he surrenders that Equity to you. If the pot is $100 right now, he is essentially giving you $25 by folding.
On the other hand, what if your opponent has KJo? In this case, it is we who are behind, and now we only have about 3 outs (the Ten), leaving us with only about 15% Equity. Nevertheless, if we bet he is going to fold fairly often and surrender the 85% equity he has to us.
Back to when he has 6h5h. Even if he calls your continuation bet, it's not so bad -- in this case, you got value for your garbage hand because your garbage was better than his garbage; you have the best hand. In the case where he has KJ, we really do want him to fold because he's beating us, so there's an element of bluff to this bet.
From this we can see that given the fact that we never have perfect information our opponents' holdings, every bet we make in poker has some Value and/or some Bluff component in it. Especially in cases where the opponent's range is heavily weighted toward hands that have no absolute value, we also gain by forcing them to surrender their equity. Those cases are classic examples of when a continuation bet should be made.
I'd make a continuation bet in a situation where my hand MIGHT BE BEST. That is, I will raise pre-flop with a high pair or two high cards.
If three low cards of different suits came on the flop, I would make a continuation bet if I had raised pre-flop. If it is with an overpair, my hand is probably still best (unless someone has two pair or a set, possible, but unlikely on such a flop).
If I had A-K, it's not clear if my hand were best or not, because someone might have paired. Still, I would make a continuation bet. Because if I made such bets with A-A or K-K post-flop, and not with A-K, people would some be able to tell the difference.
gonna go ahead and say it all depends....
If you're fairly sure you have the best hand you should c-bet boards that are likely to have hit your opponent so that he will call you. betting monotone/connected boards will likely make your opponent fold unless he has a draw to beat you.
If you're fairly sure that he has the best hand you should bet scary boards and hope he will fold.

I know you can't bring bottled water and such with you on the plane. However, is it safe to bring an empty bottle with you to fill up later? Or do you risk losing your possibly expensive/fancy/awesome water bottle when going through security?
I always have one or two plastic bottles with me. I empty them before I go through security and then re-fill them from a tap in the restroom in the waiting area.
I've done this many times, and security never asked about the empty bottles, and even if they do you can explain what they are for.
Yes, do this all the time.
Probably not necessary, but I take the lid off and put it in another pocket to ensure it's seen as an empty bottle.
UK airports generally have a bar airside and I've never had a problem asking them to refill the bottle.
Though security might let you get away with this, regulations clearly state (UK, but the same applies elsewhere) that vessels that are able to contain more than 100ml, even when they contain less (or nothing at all) are not allowed through security.
Case in point: have you ever tried to take a half empty tube of toothpaste through security?
It depends on where you are in the world. In Britain there are rarely places to fill bottles up, yet they are allowed through. In a way, I think its a moneymaking scam, if you have liquids in the bottles at UK security the bottle goes, in Sweden the liquid goes. In Britain they probably sell the bottles
In the United States, the website of the TSA specifically states:
Unfortunately, I didn't see a way to link directly to the page containing that text, but if you go to the link above and then type "empty water bottle" into the "Can I bring my..." search box, it will display the above text.
Most (all?) U.S. airports have water fountains airside where you can fill up your water bottle after going through security. Hong Kong and Incheon both had them, as well. Some airports even have water fountains specifically designed for filling up water bottles (where you don't have to tilt the bottle over to get water in it.) I've seen these both in Nashville and in Phoenix.
The only weird thing I've ever encountered with this was one time on a flight from Hong Kong to the U.S. There were actually security personnel inside the jetway in Hong Kong that were going through everyone's bags and confiscating non-empty water bottles, including the ones that people had purchased inside the concourse. I still have no idea why that happened, unless it had something to do with trying to prevent the spread of avian flu (there was an avian flu outbreak in parts of China at the time.) Fortunately, I had a short connection there and hadn't had time to fill mine after dumping it out before transfer security, so they didn't take my empty bottle.

When ice comes to New England
The ice storm in New England missed Berroco altogether, but affected my home town of Peterborough NH quite significantly. This reinforced several things I already knew:
1 – Headlamps are an essential knitting tool. …and it's such a great look for me😉
2 – Layers of knits are lovely when there is no source of heat in the house.

That's it… headlamp on the gift list!December 17, 2008
Haha, that's what I'd do, too! Stay warm!December 18, 2008

I was just popping around trying to collect all the ingredients to make the cover sweater off your volume 3, when I stumbled on the familiar icicle picture. I had received some similar ones from my aunt the other day. Turns out she's just down the road from you in Francestown and is fortunate enough to have a generator for times like these. Hopefully the power will stay on this time!December 19, 2008
I was knitting by candlelight the other night. Totally adding headlamp to my wishlist!!December 23, 2008
Hi Norah,
You and half the women in the Monadnock region were knitting their way thru the power outage judging by my business. The Woolery had no power (no cash register, credit card processor, running water, lights, etc and for much of the time no heat or toilet) but we sold LOTS of yarn!
I just had a lovely woman in here who ran into John at Harlows and fell in love with his sweater. She said he was beaming as he told her it was made just for him and when she told me the story, I knew just who she must have met and where to find the pattern! She is a sojourner in Peterboro, only here a few weeks, but came to the shop on a search for that pattern. She said she's never seen anything like it. Just wanted to share the warm reveiw with you!
Also, I hear you are going to meet up with my friend Raisa. I hope you have a great time with her– she's so smart and cosmopolitan and a great knitter too.
Big News! The Woolery is moving to a building 1/2 mile west of where we are now– where Linda's Oak Furniture was, near the MOBIL station on 101. Come check it out in March– moving day is March 15th.
Hope you are well,
Love, DebFebruary 13, 2009

So, we were supposed to have some neighbours over this afternoon for a (mostly) fall-themed vegan spread, but Son #1 developed a fever and we had to cancel at the last minute. But, all was not lost. I had a chance to try out a new recipe, and I learned what I will do differently next time. The full menu was going to be:

I see a question out there for ongoing tasks handling those in kanban. I am asking more about how to handle lengthier tasks with Kanban.
Currently I have a board and I run the following columns: Backlog, TODO, Today, Doing, Done (with a box for a priority item in today, and an ER box in doing, finally a waiting box for those tasks I cannot complete due to others, but as soon as they do their part I can resume).
So say I have a project I am working on, or even maybe a time consuming presentation to prepare. A task like "prep presentation for XXX" or "design for project YYY" could run for quite a while and throw off the "doing" column and all other columns before it.
I can't truely queue up to my WIP limit because in reality the longer running task will prevent me from getting through my "Today" queue of items.
Looking for possible solutions out there.
I am considering doing the following: "X" out boxes in those columns when I realisticly can see I won't be able to move tasks through due to constraint (capacity). On my task cards in the upper right corner put a "slots consumed" number for those larger tasks and when those get into a column they take up maybe 2 or 3 blocks instead of just one (span across multiple).
What works best for this problem?

SPOTLIGHT ON:(Back to Menu)
Hannah Pennington '01: Making a Difference for Domestic Violence Victims
One of Hannah Pennington's favorite things to do is to talk to law students who are considering a public interest career. Her standard message: "Appreciate the necessity of public and private partnerships to move things forward." The advice is wise, practical and indicative of a problem-solver with a clear goal.
For Pennington, a 2001 graduate of Rutgers School of Law–Newark who is director of Sanctuary for Families' Bronx Legal Project, that goal is to advance the lives of women. "I have always had a desire to be involved in the effort to improve the lives of women overall," she explained, "by creating better domestic violence laws, getting more women elected to Congress, supporting women lawyers at top firms. I also want to impress on others that society can't progress unless women do so."
|Hannah Pennington '01 (left) received the NYLAG 2012 Fight for Justice Award at a June 18 special event celebrating freedom from domestic violence and marriage equality. Shown with Pennington are (l-r): Monte Albers de Leon, NYLAG associate board member; Kim Susser, director of the NYLAG Matrimonial & Family Unit; and NYLAG attorney Lisa Rivera.
Providing legal services for domestic violence survivors is the endeavor with which she is most closely identified. Sanctuary for Families is the leading non-profit in New York State dedicated exclusively to serving domestic violence victims, sex trafficking victims and their children. In June, the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG) honored Pennington with its Fight for Justice Award for her public service work and commitment to domestic violence victims. Kim Susser, director of the NYLAG Matrimonial & Family Law Unit, in presenting the award described Pennington as "caring and responsive in her interactions with clients, both idealist and visionary, a wonderful supervisor and mentor who recognizes potential and leverages it to obtain optimal performances from those fortunate enough to work with her."
Women's issues have long been a focus for Pennington. After receiving a B.S. from Cornell University's Industrial and Labor Relations School, she moved to Washington, DC for a job as a legislative aide in the office of U.S. Senator, and Rutgers–Newark Law School alum, Robert Torricelli. Among the issues she worked on were domestic violence and pay equity. Torn between getting a graduate degree in public administration or social work and going to law school, she decided that a J.D. was less limiting and a better match with her interest in social justice issues.
"I am originally from New Jersey and knew right away I would apply to Rutgers–Newark," Pennington said. She was drawn to the law school by its reputation for public interest law and its affordability. "I did not want to go into more debt than necessary for law school, since I was still paying some of my undergraduate loans." Colleagues in Senator Torricelli's office also encouraged her to attend Rutgers. "The attorneys I worked closely with in Washington thought it was a good fit for me. They were definitely right."
Unlike many lawyers Pennington met before law school, she really enjoyed the law school experience. "I loved that I was able to throw myself into so many things in addition to the core curriculum, including student groups, journal and other activities." Pennington, who graduated with honors and was elected to the Order of the Coif, was notes & comments editor of the Rutgers Law Review and co-chair of the Rutgers Public Interest Law Foundation.
Her most satisfying experience, and the one with a continuing impact at the law school, was as a third-year student starting the Domestic Violence Advocacy Project with Jessica Kitson, a member of the Class of 2002 and now Director of the law school's Eric Neisser Public Interest Program, and securing a Violence Against Women Act grant to fund the program. "Stuart Deutsch, who was the Dean at that time, our clinical advisor Cynthia Dennis, and others quickly embraced our concept and supported us throughout the process. I loved also having the opportunity to go out and discuss our idea with the local legal community, including judges and court personnel. It was a very practical legal education!"
Before co-founding DVAP, Pennington did her homework by working her 1L summer as a legal intern in the NYLAG Domestic Violence Clinical Center — "and the rest, as they say, is history," she added. "NYLAG introduced me to Sanctuary for Families and the Courtroom Advocates Project that we modeled DVAP after and I was introduced to the amazing domestic violence advocacy community in New York City." She has now been involved in that community in different capacities for more than 13 years.
After receiving her J.D. from Rutgers–Newark, Pennington clerked for New Jersey Supreme Court Justice Gary Stein. She then joined Debevoise & Plimpton LLP in New York, where she worked on various commercial litigations and government investigations. While at Debevoise, she was the firm liaison to Sanctuary for Families' legal center and other non-profit legal agencies that represent domestic violence victims and worked on dozens of family law pro bono cases. She also co-founded and for several years chaired the Sanctuary Pro Bono Council (formerly the Sanctuary Associates Committee), a group of young professionals dedicated to supporting Sanctuary's legal center through pro bono and other volunteer work. Sanctuary for Families recognized her commitment by selecting Pennington to receive its 2009 Abely Pro Bono Achievement Award.
I always tell students to appreciate the necessity of public and private partnerships to move things forward – that can mean spending time at a firm and being a leader in their pro bono service or being a non-profit staff attorney building relationships with corporations and law firms that can provide incredible support for your work.
In 2009, Pennington left private practice for the job of Bronx Legal Director at Sanctuary. "Leaving my firm after more than seven years was difficult," she said, "because it was a place I came to love. I had many wonderful friends and did fascinating work, including pro bono work for domestic violence victims. But I always knew I would go and do public interest work full time. It just took me 10 years to get there."
Housed at the New York City Family Justice Center, Sanctuary's Bronx Legal Project served approximately 1,500 individuals in 2011. Pennington supervises the project's attorneys and non-lawyer staff, handles a personal caseload, and directs the work of volunteers, including pro bono attorneys.
"Our work at the Bronx Family Justice Center is incredibly rewarding but incredibly chaotic," she said. "Days fly by and there is never enough time to get to everything. One of the hardest things about our jobs is having to turn away so many clients who desperately need legal representation in a variety of cases, especially now that we work in a walk-in center and meet more clients."
Speaking of recent efforts to help the growing number of those who cannot afford legal services, Pennington stated: "We are very supportive of New York's Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman and his efforts to address the enormous gap in legal services for poor New Yorkers. Dealing with the lack of available resources and recent cuts in government funding has been very challenging for everyone in our advocacy community."
In addition to her work with the Bronx Legal Project, Pennington serves as staff liaison to the Sanctuary Pro Bono Council and co-chairs the Bronx Working Committee of the Lawyers Committee Against Domestic Violence.
As for that advice she regularly offers those in law school, the full version is revealing: "I always tell students to appreciate the necessity of public and private partnerships to move things forward – that can mean spending time at a firm and being a leader in their pro bono service or being a non-profit staff attorney building relationships with corporations and law firms that can provide incredible support for your work."
Coupled with her suggestion to job and internship candidates to try and learn another language if they haven't already, especially Spanish, it's an approach that clearly has made Pennington an effective advocate for justice for domestic violence victims.

Library of Birmingham Apprentice Scheme
Young people from Birmingham who are most marginalised in the current labour market are being given access to employment opportunities on the Library of Birmingham build project through an apprenticeship scheme.
The first nine to be awarded apprenticeships under a training and employment agreement between Birmingham City Council's Employment Access Team (EAT) and Carillion, the contractor appointed to build the new Library, have already picked up their hard hats. At least 25 apprenticeships will be established over the course of the project.
The first intake of apprentices took place in August with the second phase in November. The young people who have been recruited are being supported through the apprenticeship process and benefitted from pre-employment training with Carillion Training Services, which included taster sessions in bricklaying, carpentry and joinery.
The apprentices undergo an initial 14-week training period to achieve a Diploma Level 1 in either Joinery or bricklaying, together with other essential key skills training and following the successful completion of the course are offered an 18-month employment contract with Carillion. Louis Inverary was in the first intake of successful apprentices in August. He greatly appreciates all the help and support provided by EAT and Carillion in recognising his potential and getting him on the apprenticeship course.
Shilpi Akbar, Assistant Director, Regeneration, Birmingham City Council who is responsible for the Employment Access Team, said: "Local unemployed people who are marginalised in the current labour market and living in the most deprived areas of the city will have maximum opportunity to benefit from bespoke pre-employment training and job opportunities on the construction and fit-out of the new library or on other Carillion projects. The first 9 apprentices recruited through the Employment Access Team have now begun their training and can expect to benefit from Carillion's commitment to job sustainability. Opportunities like this are vital, as it can be very hard for unemployed people to compete, particularly in the current economic climate".
Simon Dingle, Operations Director at Carillion added: "We are delighted that we have given 9 new apprentices the chance to widen their skills at the Carillion Training Centre in Birmingham in both bricklaying and carpentry as well as hands-on experience on site. As part of the regeneration of Birmingham, Carillion will continue to offer such opportunities over the next three years during the development of the new Library, helping more young people forge a career in the construction industry."
Brian Gambles, Assistant Director of Culture, Birmingham City Council said: "With news on November 26th that planning permission had been granted building work can go ahead on the Library of Birmingham. This is a fantastic opportunity for the apprentices to be involved on this flagship project for the city and they can take great pride in working on what will be one of the city's great landmarks."
Further apprentice intakes will be planned over the lifetime of the construction, providing at least 25 apprentice contracts.

But as we move out of one holiday and in to another, let's take a week off and enjoy the lighter side of things to come – gift giving!

Refresh problem?
I have the following problem:
I added a GIF image to a ContentPanel to symbolize the loading of the response from tomcat server that I sent the request via a button.
The first time I send the request, the GIF image is decentralized, but the second time then it centralizes perfectly. This is the code:
ContentPaneltest.removeAll(); ContentPaneltest.layout(); LayoutContainer c = new LayoutContainer(); VBoxLayout layout = new VBoxLayout(); layout.setVBoxLayoutAlign(VBoxLayoutAlign.CENTER); layout.setPack(BoxLayoutPack.CENTER); c.setLayout(layout); Image test = new Image(Utils.URL_LOADING); c.add(test); ContentPaneltest.add(c);
What's wrong?

You should post a fully working testcase that implements EntryPoint. There is probably an issue in the layoutchain.

How can I find a biking club that has a group for riding with kids in a trailer? I prefer to ride in a group.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Besides talking to individuals in your local bike shops, you can look for 'recreational' or 'touring' clubs. A Google Search for Bicycle Touring Clubs turns up clubs like our club in Utah, Bonneville Cycling Club (formerly the Bonneville Bicycle Touring Club).
Larger recreational or touring clubs will usually rate their group rides by a couple of measures like distance and average speed, and will sometimes classify rides as drop/no drop (meaning that in a 'no drop', the group slows to the speed of the slowest rider).
Pick the slower and shorter rides to begin with, and be prepared to be fully self-supported. I would welcome riders with a trailer or trail-a-bike on most of my recreational rides, but it can be frustrating if those riders really can't hang with the regulars.
Finally - try to preview the group's route if possible. Most recreational group rides stick to quieter roads with wide shoulders, but you need to be aware that with the trailer you will be much harder to pass.
Ask around your local bike shops for any groups or group rides. Then ride and get to know some of the other riders if they have kids and want to group ride with kids/trailers.
The biking community here is quite large and I don't know of anything like this, I suspect once you introduce yourself to a club or group, you may need to be the driving force and organize this sort of group ride.

Edelbrock Performer RPM Power Package - Total Power ... In A PackageWritten by on May 1, 2010 Out Of The Box & On Your Block, Edelbrock's Top End Kit Delivers Performance
Achieving performance results from any engine isn't rocket science by an means. There are numerous means of increasing horsepower, from a simple carb swap all the way up to a full-blown rebuild. In order to not only maximize power gains, but also your investments, you need to ensure that the engine's components work in harmony. By mixing and matching that's not always easy to accomplish. With an Edelbrock Total Power Package, it's a done deal-they've done all the harmonizing for you!
With the Edelbrock Performer RPM Power Package, for instance, you have a system that provides optimized performance: 64cc aluminum cylinder heads that have been matched to a dual-plane intake manifold; an aggressive yet street driveable hydraulic roller cam with more lift and duration than its competition; and, as with the heads, a carburetor that's ready to run out of the box. No guessing, no experimenting, and maybe best of all, no wasting money in the process.
I recently acquired a brand-new reman Chevy small-block 350-it's one of the long-blocks like you'd find for around $1,000 at the major chain auto parts stores. From the appearance, it seemed like one of the "nicer" rebuilts (I've always been a bit skeptical of these types of engines, for various reasons), but before throwing it in a vehicle, I wanted to put any doubts to rest and tear it down. In doing so, I figured it would be a perfect guinea pig for the above-mentioned, as who knows what combination of reciprocating parts was used in rebuilding. All I really knew for sure was that it was a '69 350 ... and it was blue!
While the Performer RPM Power Package is indeed in the class of DIY engine upgrades (especially with the complete cylinder heads), rather than attempting to install everything myself, I opted to have Speed-O-Motive perform the job. For one, I wanted a professional evaluation of the engine prior to throwing any amount of money into it, but just as importantly, my confidence level would only be increased by having it done right.
As it would turn out, the engine is of the four-bolt main variety (both two- and four-bolt versions were available in 1969), and contrary to my suspicions, was rebuilt quite competently with only one questionable part-a used oil pump. However, that one part could have led to my engine's demise had it not been discovered prior to running it. Along with installing a new, high-volume pump, Speed-O-Motive transformed the 350 into a stout daily driver producing more than respectable horsepower in the 1,500- to 6,500-rpm range.
If you're looking to milk more ponies from your engine, instead of playing the match game with various parts, consider one of Edelbrock's Total Power Packages. Available for Chevy, Ford, Chrysler, and other popular makes, their proven top-end kits do just what their name suggests-provide total power ...in a package!

Nowadays, with oils lacking the properties that once helped with break-in, along with adequately lubing the cam during installation, using a proper oil additive is a MUST (Edelbrock recommends GM "EOS" supplement).After ordering up the Performer RPM Package, I headed up to Speed-O-Motive in West Covina, CA, engine and parts in tow. First order of business was for Edson Gutierez to tear the long-block down to short, ultimately revealing whether or not I'd have anything worth moving forward with.With everything stripped down and cleaned, Bill Shoemaker began the installation with the Performer RPM camshaft. While the hydraulic roller features a more aggressive lobe profile, there is no excessive valve overlap, which makes for a very street-friendly cam.Using the right timing chain is also very important. The late-model sets were intended for emission-controlled vehicles, thus are machined to retard the timing position-the Edelbrock Performer-Link features a three-position keyway for adjustable timing (though "0" is used in most applications).Contrary to some engine builders, Shoemaker doesn't pre-soak lifters (he feels that adversely affects pushrod sizing). Instead, lifter galleys are liberally doused with oil; lifters heavily coated in assembly lube.With all the hydraulic lifters in place, the Performer RPM cylinder heads were installed with the supplied ARP head bolts (specific for aluminum heads). The 64cc heads are torqued to 65 lb-ft in 40-, 55-, 65-pound increments.
An easy way to install your intake "leak-free": a light adhesive (such as my favorite, Gasgacinch) to hold the gaskets; a fat bead of high-temp silicone along the front and rear (no gasket).The rocker arms of choice ended up being the bullet-proof COMP Cams 1.52 Pro Magnums along with matching (7.900-inch) pushrods.With the Performer RPM Air Gap manifold snugly in place, the hard-part installation portion at Speed-O-Motive was now complete.Above and beyond the Total Performance Package, the top end was also treated to an Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS 650-cfm square-bore carburetor. Like their Performer carbs, the AVS four-barrels are pre-calibrated and ready to run out of the box.For a little change of pace, rather than going with the typical polished aluminum I might normally choose, I decided to give Edelbrock's black powdercoated Classic Series valve covers and air cleaner a shot.For the fuel pump, filter, and hose, Edelbrock offers a variety of options-for this application, to match the existing accessories, a Russell ProClassic pump-to-carb hose kit was used in conjunction with a polished Edelbrock fuel filter and carb fitting kit.
Hedman had just come out with their Tight Tube block-hugger headers when I was finishing up the 350-knowing it's likely this engine will end up in the '53 Chevy, these compact headers will "fit" perfectly.Edelbrock's unique Classic Series air cleaners provide a clean, complementing look, especially with hidden fasteners. Each comes equipped with a washable element.Finally, with one of their points-style caps atop (in lieu of the standard HEI type), MSD's Pro Billet distributor will eventually provide the increased spark for the small-block. But prior to initially firing it up, along with the aforementioned break-in oil additive, it's equally imperative to first prime the engine before even turning it over.

May 9, 2013
Louise Rice, an associate professor in NYU's Department of Art History, has been named a Fellow of the National Humanities Center for 2013-14. Under the fellowship, Rice will study "conclusions"—elaborate dedicatory engravings used in 17th century Rome to decorate thesis broadsheets of students undergoing an academic defense.
While many of these works were created by renowned artists of the period, they have largely been ignored by scholars. Rice, author of "The Altars and Altarpieces of New St. Peter's: Outfitting the Basilica, 1621-1666," among other works, will examine conclusions' visual language and, through them, explore the celebratory discourse that surrounded higher education in Rome 400 years ago.
These newly appointed Fellows will constitute the 36th class of resident scholars to be admitted since the Center, located in the Research Triangle Park of North Carolina, opened in 1978.
