HOLY #!%&$, you took away a feature(promote to class on grid columns)
I just upgraded architect after being told prompted(upgraded from 2.1.0 build 613 to build 637)
I was using an override on an initcomponent to determine whether a column should show in a grid based on a global variable.
using event listeners to accomplish the same thing was causing errors:
I just tried to promote to class on my grid column(something I did last week!), and it is grayed out.
Is this on purpose, or a bug?

Read an Excerpt
Step down from the bench in seventy-two hours or the little girl dies.
U.S. Marshal Gideon Brand ran his hands over the rough stubble of his face. It had already been twelve hours since a federal judge's six-year-old granddaughter had been discovered missing. She'd disappeared on Gideon's watch.
The threatening message had arrived in the judge's inbox an hour later, time stamped 7:21 a.m. Eastern Standard, and all the forces of federal law enforcement were hard at work attempting to unscramble its path. They would fail. The nascent technology of the heavily encrypted e-mail bypassed central servers and would automatically erase itself in a matter of hoursdestroying along with it all evidence of its origin. It was as close to foolproof as had ever been seen.
"You're supposed to be out of here already."
Gideon pivoted in his seat to find the head of the West Virginia judicial security division watching him with expressionless eyes honed from his military special ops background. A look that caused Gideon to believe, far too often, that he was still in special ops.
"Go home," Darren Tucker said. "Some rest will do you a world of good."
"I'm not tired."
"This isn't your case anymore. I know that's hard to accept, but that's the way it is."
Tucker was now assuming direct supervision of the operation.
Gideon was tempted to tell him where he could stick his case, and his pseudosympathy. Molly was more than a case. She was a human being and he had come to care for her more than he'd ever expected. Maybe she reminded him too much of what he'd lost, but this wasn't about him. It was about Molly.
Unleashing his anger on Tucker for his insensi-tivityand authoritarianism would do nothing to save her life. But the statement Judge Alcee Reinhold was in the process of preparing likely wouldn't save her either. Kidnappers rarely returned their victims, and the judge had a recent history of deadly intimidations against him that was believed to include the bombing of a small plane and the death of a federal agent.
"Go home," Tucker repeated.
"Seventy-two hours," Gideon said harshly as he stood. His chest hurt and his hands fisted at his sides.
Go home? Do nothing?
On any given day, he was responsible for investigating, analyzing and assessing threats and other inappropriate communications to sitting judges, as well as supervising protective detail, round the clock if necessary. He had a record of apprehensions and successful cases longer than his arm and he was being dismissed like a child who needed a nap.
Did they actually think he could just go home and suck his thumb while Molly's life hung in the balance?
"And there are only sixty of them left," Gideon added pointedly.
Darren Tucker knew when to keep his mouth shut. There were no platitudes to ease the awful fact that a man who may have killed a planeload of thirty-four innocent people in one fell swoop wouldn't hesitate to slaughter one more.
"We're doing everything we can," Gideon said, speaking the platitude for the commander. He heard the emotion he'd sworn to control come out in his voice. "Except not."
Bitterness stung deeply. He didn't agree with the media blackout on information regarding Molly's kidnapping.
"Go home and go to bed," Tucker said flatly. "You have five minutes, then I'll have you escorted from the building."
The commander left the room. Tough love, that's what he'd said to Gideon when he told him he was dismissed from the case. More than dismissed from the case. Sent on forced leave. He'd taken the case too personally, become too emotionally involved. According to Tucker, this made him a danger to himself, other agents, even to Molly. He didn't agree, but he didn't get to choose.
Gideon left the building with nothing. The truth was he had no personal belongings at the office.
And the same was true of his apartment, he thought wryly as he parked his car and got out. His apartment was cold, with an overhanging sense of emptiness despite being marginally furnished. He looked at a photo of a smiling, bubble-blowing five-year-old Lizzie on the mantel over the fireplace where he'd never burned a log. Frozen in time, weeks before his daughter had died. Innocent, her life shining ahead of her, then gone in a blink.
Six months later, his marriage had fallen in line as if her murderer's second victim.
He pushed away the feelings that photo always inspired, the guilt and loss so deep, they couldn't be borne, and focused on the reason he kept it there, to remind himself of his purpose in life. Without that purpose, he'd have given up long ago.
Even with it, he swirled the sink drain a lot of days. He hadn't been able to save Lizzie. He hadn't even had a chance.
But Molly
He had a chance to save her. It wasn't too late. Not yet. And there was no way he was walking away.
No one knew for sure why someone wanted Judge Alcee Reinhold off the bench. It could be revenge for a case on which the judge had already ruled or preparation for a case yet to come before the court. A case someone didn't want to have come before Judge Reinhold. Specifically, it was possible the intimidation against the judge was related to the Pittsburgh mafia infiltration of West Virginia and attempts to nail the ringleaders. The judge dealt with search warrants, wiretaps, secret grand jury testimony. Bribery for tip-offs was mafia stock in trade.
If the judge wasn't cooperating, they'd want him replaced. It was Gideon's current working theory, though no direct link between the attacks and the mafia had been made.
Stacks of files staggered in piles on the kitchen table. None of the materials were classified. They were mostly notes in his own hand, ideas, questions, scraps of random ideas and newspaper clippings about the Pittsburgh mafia.
He got a glass of water from the kitchen, sat down at the table and stared at the folders. He made himself feel nothing as he pored over his notes and every article, again. He could let emotion drive him, but he couldn't let it stand in his way.
The pile on the bottom contained clippings and notes from the plane explosion. It had been a dramatically deadly act. Suspicion from the beginning had centered on threats to Alcee Reinhold, who hadn't made the flight. Unfortunately, Robbie Buchanan, the federal agent assigned to escort him, had already been on board. If the bombing had indeed been intended for the judge, the Marshals couldn't prove it. They only knew how the perpetrator had gotten access to the plane to plant the bomb. The perpetrator had most likely masqueraded as a member of the construction staff and gotten through using a stolen ID. The bomb had been planted in the twin-propeller passenger plane's cargo hold.
But the investigation into the explosion had long ago grown cold, as had any clues to the identity of its mastermind. Agents had pored over security tapes, looking for the face of a killer, attempting to identify each person.
Gideon sat in the growing dusk of his apartment staring at the pile of clippings related to the attack on Flight 498. He read through them, one by one, for the four-thousandth time.
There was nothing new.
Except his level of desperation. Something wasn't right. He just didn't know what it was.
He grabbed the phone off an end table in the small living room and phoned Tucker.
"Brand here. I want to know what came out in that interview with the psychic," he clipped out. Impatient? Hell, yeah.
"That psychic from Haven who called the airport, said Flight 498 was going to explode. There was a tracking ID for an interview outcome report, but I never received the file."
"Get some sleep, Brand."
"Did anyone actually talk to Marysia O'Hurley?"
"Yes, we talked to her. Dammit, Brand. Do you not see"
"What was the outcome?"
"you are obsessed! And you aren't thinking clearly!"
"What was the outcome?"
"She was an hysterical wife! Get a grip. Her husband was taking that flight. She admitted she was afraid of flying herself. Do you know how many crank calls they get at the airport every day? She's a whack job, and she didn't have anything to do with the bombing. She was thoroughly checked out. Get some sleep!"
The grainy photo in the newspaper clipping showed a slender, dark-haired woman with grieving eyes. She looked lost, even in the crowd of mourners photographed that day at the airport. Her eyes hit the camera dead-on, and there was nothing hysterical about them, even in the midst of shock.
"You remember what they said about Haven after that quake," Gideon said, and even as he spoke the words, he felt foolish. The tiny town of Haven, West Virginia, had been hit by an earthquake the year before and the aftermath had included a cable media circus of claims about "positive ions" triggering paranormal activity.
Earthquakes were uncommon in West Virginia, but the event itself wasn't all that had been strange about the four-point-three shock. The news had been full of panicked homeowners reporting bursts of horizontal light and a reddish haze in the air. Fire trucks had responded to a variety of locations, but had found no flames to douse. One resident had called in a paranormal detective after a young boy was found, scratched and confused, along a roadside claiming to have been trapped inside a red ball of light.
A spokesperson from the Paranormal Activity Institute had called the quake, in combination with existing atmospheric conditions of low pressure and dense moisture at the time, the "perfect storm," labeling the bursts of reddish light "foundational movement" for oncoming supernatural incidents.
Anything can happen in Haven now, the PAI spokesperson had stated.
It had been quite an eye-rolling interview, and it had played over and over in news reports. Even Gideon hadn't missed it, despite the small amount of television he watched. The furor of the story had eventually died down, and if anything genuinely paranormal had ever happened in Haven, Gideon didn't know about it. He certainly hadn't taken any of it seriously.
Following the kidnapping, he'd returned to headquarters and requested the files on all the interview outcomes going back to the plane bombing. He'd gotten every file, immediately, except the one on Marysia O'Hurley, the supposed psychic from Haven.
This evening, he'd made a specific request for her file alone.
Twenty minutes later, he'd been suspended.
"Do you hear yourself talking, Brand?" Tucker asked simply.
"Yeah. I do." Gideon was silent for a heavy beat. The something-wasn't-right feeling in his gut itched at him.
He heard a very subtle click on the line. Suspended and wiretapped?
His pulse went dead still.
Slowly, he held the phone away from his ear. He could hear Tucker, distantly now, asking him if he'd lost his mind. He used his pocketknife to quickly take apart the bottom of the receiver and found the tiny listening device nestled inside.
Putting the phone back to his ear, he snapped, "Did you wire my phone?"
"What the hell are you talking about now? Of course we didn't wire your phone."
Gideon punched the Off button.
Either the commander was lyingin which case, he was done talking to himor someone else had wired his phone.
A perpetrator who was an expert at bombs and security infiltration and high-tech communication.
As he raced out of the apartment, Gideon wondered why it had never occurred to him before that the same perpetrator who could be behind both a bombing and a kidnapping could be one of his own.
Gideon was in and out of the southern district office in under seven minutes, breaking all the rules, bypassing all security except at the gate. Security was sometimes not much more than a facade when you knew your way around. It was late, and the guard at the post didn't realize Brand had been put on leave. Maybe he didn't get the memo.
The door to his office was closed and locked, though the lock had not been changed. He powered on the desktop unit, found he still had access to the databank on the network.
He typed in Marysia O'Hurley's name, did a search. There was nothing there. No interview outcome report file tracking ID. An ID had been in the system mere hours earlier. He'd used the number to request the file from the secure records room.
The computer screen went sharply black, then a white screen with black letters appeared: You are attempting to access an unapproved area.
The hair prickled at the nape of his neck. Network usage was tracked and his access had just been cut off from somewhere inside the building.
He scraped back his chair, headed for the empty, night-lit hallway. Someone opened fire and he heard the audible rush of a bullet past his ear. Blood pounded in his veins as he evaded and struck back. He fired in the direction of the blast in the same second he leaped for the door to the stairs, took them in flying bounds to the underground parking.
The guard at the gate reached for the phone inside his booth.
Reaching the gate, he had his window down and his gun out, and before the guard could speak or attempt to draw, Gideon pointed his GLOCK.
"Open the gate."
He was through.

Hi my website is http://www.about-jacky.com
I was at home and have just got a 403 Forbidden Error when I tried to edit a post, and then after that, I can no longer access my website (not even the when i'm logged into WP as admin). However, when I ask my friends at their own houses to check my website, they can access it with no problem. I then tried using my iphone 3G connectivity to open the website and it worked fine as well!! So should I be assuming that it blocked my home internet IP for access?
if so, how do I prevent that from happening?

recently my Windows 7 x64 machine started to act very weirdly, a lot of programs would crash randomly. The one application that would consistently crash was Team Fortress 2, after loading a map, I suspect it is because it uses a lot of memory. Also my hard drives are trashing constantly after a while, but I can't see any significant IO going on with Process Explorer. This could indicate page file trashing.
I ruled out the usual suspects, no virus, no spyware that I could detect with various preinstalled, or online, or CD based tools. Manual inspection of the startup, services and drivers did not reveal anything significant.
So I created a second clean install on another drive, which works just fine and rules out hardware problems also, expect for the hard drive maybe.
I then started to compare the 2 installs in similar situations, and noticed that on the bad one, programs use an enormous amount of virtual and private memory, think in the GB area (as far as 5GB), whereas on the good one the values are much more what I would expect, in the 0 to a few hundred MB area.
The main difference between the 2 installs would be all the dev tools I did not install on the second one and a few games. The drivers are the same, the AV is the same.
I am starting to suspect a corrupt VC++ runtime installation but apart from that I have no idea what could be going on ? Any suggestions ?

Welcome to the official website for Sarah Jane Morris
Bloody Rain is now on sale and was launched with an incredible line up of musicians and special guests at the Union Chapel on Thursday 18th September 2014. 23 musicians on stage at one point! Great review in the Arts Desk by Peter Quinn. On 19th September, The Convent Club gig was filmed and streamed worldwide. Check out the News section to see one of the songs from that performance and to see how you can still download the concert.
Dedicated to the people of Africa, and the music of that continent that has inspired so many artists for so long, Bloody Rain brings together a stunningly diverse group of performers.
|Among a raft of guests on the album are the Zimbabwe-born singer Eska, Senegal's Seckou Keita on kora, UK-Caribbean saxophonist Courtney Pine, The Soweto Gospel choir and Adam Glasser from South Africa, the Nigerian singer Keziah Jones, American/ Israeli trumpeter Avishai Cohen, and the famous James Brown arranger and co-writer Pee Wee Ellis. My Bloody Rain band are Tony Remy (with whom I have written most of the songs), the wonderful Dominic Miller, Henry Thomas, Martyn Barker, Tim Cansfield and Adriano Adewale.
The Bloody Rain choir are my dear friend Ian Shaw, my son Otis Coulter, Janine Johnson, Lilybud Dearsley, GianLuca Di Martini, Roberto Angrisani and myself. Last but not least the strings were arranged by Enrico Melozzi in Rome.
We hope you enjoy the album and look forward to seeing you at one of the many European concerts promoting Bloody Rain and also please browse my fabulous new website and be sure to check out my live gigs section to see where else we are playing if you missed the Union Chapel.
Yours in Music, Sarah Jane xxx
"Recorded in the UK, Johannesburg, Paris and Tel Aviv, Sarah Jane Morris's latest album, Bloody Rain, is undoubtedly a labour of love. Hearing it performed live last night in the Union Chapel, in front of an adoring audience, confirmed that it is also her masterpiece."
"Morris couched the – at times painful – subject matter in the most mellifluous, seductive melodies imaginable."Peter Quinn, The Arts Desk
Ronnie Scotts Radio Show
Recent Press
There's no hiding place at a Sarah Jane Morris gig – either from her opulent, multi-octave voice and raw emotional clout that recalls Nina Simone and Janis Joplin, or from her lyrics that explore love and pain, sex crimes, war crimes, Catholicism and contraception – and a whole uncompromising bunch more....
....the whole show suggested that though Sarah Jane Morris has enjoyed some inspiring partnerships over the years, this latest incarnation with Forcione is already sounding like one of her best.

Hello all -
I use a static main page with a flash video and recently made one of the links along the menu at the top of my page un-linked, so that it merely displays a drop-down of links.
However, this sub-menu displays BEHIND the flash video - it's evident what the problem is if you'll just mouse over 'Projects' on the menu - the sub-menu appears behind the flash video.
I know the issue is z-indexing, but I'm not sure what to change where; if it matters, I'm using the Kimili flash plugin, although surely I can just change the z-index of the sub-menu in the stylesheet somewhere, right?
The website is here: http://www.invictuspartnersllc.com
Thanks much for any help!

Fountains - Stone Forest
Every garden needs a focal point, and the best ones look like they've been there forever. Stone Forest is guided by the "less is more" principle of Japanese design. "You don't want to overshadow the strength of a natural material," says founder Michael Zimber. The simple round millstones and tall obelisks are carved, chiseled, and selectively polished, as above, then left largely as you might find them in nature.

You win the depressing contest, Charles.
You're point is basically that life is over at 25, after which you get to work hard and fight the system so you can later feel lots of guilt and remorse.
What's wrong with guilt and remorse?
I am almost 26. Is her point that as soon as I turn 26 I am considered "old?"
I'm really disappointed.
The rays of the sun do mess you up. As an old, leathery, sun rayed, weathered and beaten Latin American male, I can agree with that. This reminds me of Memories of Underdevelopment, where the Cuban narrator talks about Caribbean women and how the rays of the sun destroy them before their due time.
Over here, we have the young; over there, the old.
I find it amusing that you seem to group yourself with "youth" (a group that apparently ends at 25)
Is lying about one's age a chronic condition over at The Stranger?
And what about this depressing post makes it worthy to be reposted multiple times..?
I'm 32 and the happiest I've ever been, inspite of some shitty things that have happened recently. I'm also in the best physical shape.
I'm not sure if Joan is still writing books, but if she is I wonder who the stars are of her books. Is she writing about 70 year olds? Oh, wait am I think of Jackie Collins? Does Joan write books? Oh well...
@5 - it's okay because emotionally they're still in their teens ;)
colin, i have been an old man since i was 20. My glorious youth only lasted five years.
Charles, most the time I read your posts and smile, but you have embedded a sharp point in this softball.
You're absolutely right: the power of the old is not drawn from pity. The power of the old--and the old have more power than the unregarding young may realize--is drawn from knowledge. The old know history, and therefore, to the extent each is capable, develop wisdom. Some, like Joan Collins apparently, are willing to trade wisdom for another try at youth, and some may be as dried up and blown away as Cephalus was, but many know the score better than they ever did in youth.
Jackie Collins, Joan Collins's sister, is the astoundingly brilliant novelist, possibly the greatest of all time. Joan's an actor. Though she did try her hand at a trashy novel once; it resembled her sister's work but was unreadable.
I see you are toight - toight like a toiger.

AQUILLA (March 17, 2014) A collision between a compact SUV and an 18-wheeler on a rural highway claimed the life of a Central Texas woman.
The victim was identified as Jean Landesco, 33, of Whitney.
She was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which happened just before 3 a.m. Saturday on FM 933 near Spur 3370 in Aquilla.
Investigators say the 2003 Honda Element she was driving north on FM 933 crossed the center line and collided with the southbound 18-wheeler.
The driver of the truck wasn't injured.
An autopsy was ordered.

"Things move more slowly in Africa" – this is a common refrain for many of us at Grameen Foundation when we find ourselves experiencing hurdles with our work in places like Nigeria and Ethiopia. In fact, African countries and the organizations we work with do often lack the infrastructure – particularly the Internet connectivity – that contributes to the fast-paced, rapid-response world that those of us based in the United States have grown so accustomed to. Slower is also a word I'd use to describe Bankers without Borders' own presence in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Joining Grameen Foundation after primarily working with US-based NGOs, I remember my own first experiences arranging a call with a microfinance institution (MFI) leader in Sub-Saharan Africa – fumbling around with Skype to enter the correct phone number, then getting a voicemail message in a language I couldn't understand. It might take a few weeks of trying to connect at a time convenient for us both. In those early days, Grameen Foundation did not have local offices or staff in places like Nairobi, Accra or Kampala. Cultivating relationships and managing projects is difficult to do from a different continent, which is why I am amazed we were actually able to do any work in places like Ghana and Nigeria in those first few years of BwB.
Over the past year, however, BwB has been able to gain some traction in the region, thanks to the regional leadership of Erin Conner and Steve Wardle, and BwB Regional Program Officer Martin Gitari, all based in Nairobi.
[caption id="attachment_2210" align="aligncenter" width="283"] David Washer (right) spent a week meeting clients and lending his skills in finance to Eshet, an Ethiopian microfinance institution, as part of BwB's Financial Modeling Reserve Corps.[/caption]
Grameen Foundation's own programs, particularly our MOTECH work in Ghana and Community Knowledge Worker (CKW) program in Uganda, are BwB's biggest clients. In our early days, we had a hard time convincing Grameen Foundation's own technology teams of the services we could provide, because Grameen Foundation's own employees assumed BwB was only focused on connecting bankers with microfinance institutions (a fair assumption, given our name). Thanks to some education on our part and the willingness of these programs' leaders to give us a try, we've been able to place volunteers such as Chris Smith and Gillian Evans (a husband-and-wife team) with CKW and Roche employee Lynda Barton with MOTECH, in year-long placements. We've worked with CKW to establish a local collaboration with Makere University to provide interns to our Uganda office each semester. And we've just finalized arrangements to engage a Glaxo Smith Kline employee with the CKW team on a six-month assignment, starting this month.

While in Hong Kong, I start my days with the "international breakfast buffet." In my travels, I have actually grown fond of this tourist and business traveler's treat. I can have a hybrid breakfast of dal and danish in Bangalore, pad thai and pancakes in Bangkok, or dim sum and doughnuts in Hong Kong.
The international breakfast buffet is particularly appropriate in Hong Kong, a truly international city to which everyone's path seems to have spanned several global cities. As I begin the next leg of my travels, I leave Hong Kong reflecting on the many social-change agents I met. Just as my hybrid breakfast blends the best of multiple food traditions, these folks blur the lines between the social sector and corporate sector when it comes to fighting global poverty.
On Monday, I spent the day with the dynamic women of Grameen Foundation's Hong Kong office – Sonia, Christina, Dilys and Sharada. Their careers have zig-zagged from banks and consulting firms to social enterprises and Grameen Foundation. They are all equally effective in their roles – which largely focus on cultivating corporate partnerships and donors for our work in Asia – because they know how to make Grameen Foundation's work accessible to different audiences. They take the time to explain microfinance, social enterprise and other terms that we take for granted, and can do this easily because they truly understand how we are trying to improve the lives of the poor and poorest.

On Tuesday, I had the chance to kick off the Bank of America Merrill Lynch(BAML) CSR Lunch and Learn series. I impressed by the sheer turnout (including a waiting list for the event!) as well as by the diversity in the room. Some of the most senior people in the Hong Kong office attended the event and were the first to inquire during Q&A about how their teams could get more involved with Bankers without Borders. I have no doubt we will find a way to put their commitment and skills to work in the near future. Melissa Moi, who recently left a prominent post with a well-known NGO in Hong Kong to join BAML's Corporate Philanthropy team, has a clear vision for how skills-based volunteering can help further the Bank's philanthropic objective of helping women and children in the Asian-Pacific region.

Music A-List
Gospel Gossip
Triple Rock Social Club
Gospel Gossip seem to have nestled themselves in nicely with a slew of local buzz bands who create music that sounds as vintage and classic as it does irresistible. On par with fellow throwback rockers like '60s psychedelic hippies First Communion Afterparty and post-punk fuzz lovers Mouthful of Bees, Gospel Gossip take it back to the bedrooms of the early '80s, at the cusp of the New Wave movement. Echoing guitar parts build slowly into heart-pounding climaxes, and singer Sarah Neinaber's ethereal voice is folded in as a layer of sound rather than highlighted as a focal point. Luckily, the local scene has already begun to take notice of these burgeoning shoegazers; Wednesday night's show is just a warm-up for Gospel Gossip's set at the Best New Bands showcase later this month at First Avenue. With the Chambermaids, Kill to Kill, and Austin Scarlett. 9:00 p.m. Free. 629 Cedar Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612.333.7399. —Andrea Myers
Dallas Orbiter CD-release show
Varsity Theater
If music could shimmer, Dallas Orbiter's surely would. They take Aladdin Sane-era Bowie glam and tweak it a little (though they don't wear the skintight bodysuits, for better or worse), and mix in a healthy dose of Detroit garage rock. It's definitely dolled-up, but it doesn't seem like an affectation nor does it seem that the band is putting on airs. They temper their act with enough Queens of the Stone Age-esque swagger that would-be detractors have to dig pretty deep to take issue with much of it. The band is well-served by the workhorse quality present on their latest, Motorcycle Diagrams. Without coming across as too playful or wacky, the disc delivers just the right amount of fun. Openers Ouija Radio have a sound reminiscent of Missing Persons on amphetamines and are just as fun to watch, as their shows often end in hedonistic debauchery. Led by singer/badass Christy Hunt, Ouija Radio should be on everyone's short list for breakout artists in '08.With the Chambermaids and Daughters of the Sun.18+. $5. 9:00 p.m. 1308 Fourth St. SE, Minneapolis; 612.604.0222. —Pat O'Brien
Plastic Constellations
Triple Rock Social Club
Most people know that the members of the Plastic Constellations were in a band in high school. The thing about that: It was the Plastic Constellations. They also opened for Low when they only sophomores. What were you doing at 15, besides being socially awkward and yearning for your own set of wheels? So what have they been doing since, you ask? Well, becoming indie media darlings for starters. And to paraphrase former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan, they only know how to write ultra-catchy, anthemic indie-pop nuggets. Last year's Crusades made many local and national best-of lists, and it was no fluke. These guys know how to bring the house down, and their foaming-at-the-mouth following makes their live shows that much more intense. Superhopper will usher them in with their hooky, bombastic, wry brand of vaguely '70s rock. Crunchy guitars, funny, almost accidental-sounding lyrics, and a stellar rhythm section are more than enough to push these guys past "run-of-the-mill" on the meter. Why their last offering, Party Killers, didn't make a bigger splash locally (and elsewhere, really) is a little puzzling—this stuff is readymade for your next beer-soaked get-together—and lead singer Kermit Carter's smart-ass stage banter is without peer. $3. With the Deaf. 9:00 p.m. 629 Cedar Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612.333.7399. —Pat O'Brien
Skoal Kodiak/Blind Shake/Vampire Hands/Birthday Suits
Turf Club
With a lineup of four of the most savagely energetic bands the Twin Cities currently offer, this show will not help any lingering four-day hangovers. This is just one reason to reach for your ibuprofen and chasers before hitting the sack on Friday night. A chance to lay mitts on Skoal Kodiak's stellar new vinyl release, for sale tonight at the Turf Club, is another. But chiefly, it's the perfect way to get '08 off to a ruinous, exhausted start. Between Vampire Hands' towering, Gothic bellow, Skoal's uncanny talent for bending circuits and melodies without ever fully shattering them, Blind Shake's tempestuous arsenal of those hostile AmRep chords that we love so well, and Birthday Suits' thwacking, sweaty, downright danceable post-punk, tonight will keep you rocketing between booty-shaking and self-destruction, and should make a great showcase for the narrow but satisfying triumph of order over chaos. 9:00 p.m. 1601 University Ave. W., St. Paul; 651.647.0486. —David Hansen
Mouthful of Bees
Triple Rock Social Club
Word from this past year's Picked to Click winners bodes well for debunking that contest's supposed curse. The group's inexorable leader, Chris Farstad, has returned from his trip to Russia and the entire Mouthful has begun writing songs for the follow-up to their deservedly ballyhooed debut, The End. Based on the strength of that record, an anthemic amalgam of indie-rock coy and lo-fi clatter, and the casual uncertainty in the way the group members talk about their future, a return to the stage has been eagerly awaited. With any luck, they'll be debuting a few freshly penned numbers at this, their first show in nearly six months. While the band has booked a handful of gigs in January, Farstad is still attending school in Iowa, so fans would be wise to catch 'em while ya can, lest you be left in the cold for another semester-long hiatus. With One for the Team, Ladyslipper, the P. Laquers, and Now, Now Every Children. All ages. 5:00 p.m. $7. 629 Cedar Ave. S., Minneapolis; 612.333.7399. —Christopher Matthew Jensen
Streetlight Manifesto
Varsity Theater
These rude boys from Jersey have hit the road to tour behind their latest release, Somewhere in Between. Riding the third wave of ska on a swell of joyful brass and punk-bleated vocals from frontman Tomas Kalonky (of Catch-22), Streetlight Manifesto wrap reflective lyrics in shiny, glossy packaging that gives every song the same optimistic shape. But with tunes this packed with skankalicious, jazzy guitar riffs and frenetic yet nimble bass lines, you'll be too busy dancing to pick a Fishbone. Hey, just because New Year's is over doesn't mean there's no place for party horns. With Grand Buffet and the Stitch Up. All ages. $15. 5:00 p.m. 1308 Fourth St. SE, Minneapolis; 612.604.0222. —Sarah Askari

You can get access to the SIL repository following these instructions, then get the latest versions of kmfl-ibus and the IPA Keyboard package from the Ubuntu Software Center (searching for "kmfl" it should be one of the top results). Don't forget to log out and in.
For future reference, this page shows IPA keyboards for Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Good luck! Good luck!

Soybean isoflavone
Soybean is the most common dietary legume with high content of isoflavone in its seed. There are two main soybean isoflavones: daidzein (40,7-dihydroxyisoflavone) and genistein (40,5,7-trihydroxyisoflavone), which are similar in structure. Some studies indicated that daidzein and genistein had the similar functions in prevention of cancer.
Daidzein might suppress neuronal tumor cells growth by arrest of cell cycle progression at G2/M and induced apoptosis. Genistein also can bind to ER, and induce apoptosis; additionally, genistein is able to induce apoptosis by inducing p53 and regulation of expression of anti-apoptotic genes, which does not involve in binding to ER. It is not difficult to explain why isoflavone is considered as potential alterative therapies potential alternative therapies for a range of hormone dependent conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular disease (Davis et al., 2008).
The soybean seed is the most important staple of isoflavone, isoflavone products of which are available as commercial product in the nutrient market. During extract processing, isoflavones migrate with the protein fraction of the soybean, so there are low concentration of isoflavone in soybean oil which is consumed, as the main source of oil, by western families. There were reports that the intake of isoflavone in western population is less than 1 mg/d. Contrarily, in Asia, soybean is the most important source of protein, such as in China and in Japan. The intake of isoflavone is estimated up to 20, even 50 mg/d. The different intakes of isoflavone in quantity are also considered to be one of the reasons of area differences of cancer risks (Setchell & Cassidy, 1999).

Record Store Day 2012: Keep independent Twin Cities shops open
With the musical madness of Record Store Day about to sweep over the Twin Cities and the rest of the country once again on Saturday, it seems like an opportune time to celebrate the many outstanding options within both Minneapolis and St. Paul to shop for our music. As Record Store Day thankfully continues to gain momentum each year, and the limited-edition, RSD-exclusive releases grow ever more tempting, our local shops continue to plan larger and larger music events that only add to the festivities.
But we shouldn't just support them one day out of the year, either, as we've all sadly witnessed many excellent record stores being forced to close up shop over the years. For those who work in downtown Minneapolis, Target has unfortunately become the only place to buy music in the immediate vicinity.
Long gone are the halcyon days of Let It Be and Northern Lights, beloved downtown Minneapolis record stores selling tons of great music and hosting some pretty amazing in-store performances. Also, many long-lasting friendships were hatched there, as well.
For there is a definite community to be found within the walls of an independent record shop, and that is precisely what all of us music fans should be celebrating not only on Record Store Day on Saturday, but every other day of the year. One can't imagine the Twin Cities without a thriving batch of record stores that are there to unify all of us in our love of tangible, physical music.
Plus, there just seems to be something inherently therapeutic in flipping through stacks of records and (to a lesser extent) CDs. There's a sense of tranquility that seems to flow through any given record shop that causes time to move just a bit slower than the typically hectic world outside (a point that is regrettably also true for anyone working a long shift within those same shops).
Photo By Erik Hess
So, as you hardcore music fans begin to assemble your must have Record Store Day releases leading up to Saturday (and stake out your place in line), be thankful that you have so many different independent music shops in the area to try and track that limited-edition RSD vinyl down. There are plenty of other cities in this country where their only music options are big box retailers, and we should all never allow that to happen here.
So consider this just a friendly reminder to all you music lovers out there, that those same record shops that will most assuredly be packed with patrons on Saturday are most likely also open for business the following day as well. Viva la vinyl!

German Court Won't Rule This Year on Legality of ECB Bond Buying
Germany's constitutional court won't issue a ruling this year on the legality of the European Central Bank's bond-buying program, the central bank's most important weapon against the euro-zone debt crisis, the court said Thursday.
"The decision in the ESM/ECB proceedings will no longer be announced in the current year," the court said in a emailed statement.
The court is eager to issue its decision as soon as possible, it said in the statement, declining to offer any further details.
In June, the court, based in Karlsruhe, Germany, heard two days of competing testimonies over whether the ECB has engaged in a power grab not envisioned under European law and the German constitution.
A diverse group of German politicians, lawyers and citizens issued a legal challenge, alleging the ECB is creating risks for German taxpayers that their elected representatives can't control.
The court was expected to issue a ruling sometime after Germany's election in September.
The bond-buying program, called Outright Monetary Transactions, or OMT, envisions the ECB purchasing an unlimited amount of government bonds from a euro-zone member state. A key plank of the program, which was created in September 2012, is that governments must first seek assistance from Europe's bailout funds and agree to reform their budgets and economies before the ECB will even consider buying their bonds.
In testimony to the court, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble backed the ECB's position that the program falls within its remit to keep inflation low. But Deutsche Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann in his testimony questioned whether using the "unlimited firepower" of the ECB's printing press is "consistent with our mandate."
Earlier ECB bond-buying efforts, which ECB officials repeatedly described as "temporary," failed to impress markets, even after more than 200 billion euros ($270.4 billion) in bond buys.
In contrast, the OMT brought bond yields down sharply for embattled countries without any funds actually having to be used. The mere presence of a powerful backstop was enough to convince investors that the bonds of Spain, Italy and other vulnerable euro members were safe.
That calm could unravel if the court tries to impose limits on the German central bank's participation in the program or, in an extreme scenario, seeks to bar the Bundesbank from buying any bonds at all. The court can't shut down the ECB's bond-buying program outright, because it doesn't have jurisdiction over EU institutions.
The most likely outcome of the proceedings, some analysts said, is that the court will rule the ECB isn't violating the German constitution but will admonish it to avoid any appearance that it is printing money to finance euro-zone governments.

"Publisher Take Two announced in a financial results conference call that Grand Theft Auto IV will be shipped simultaneously for the Xbox 360 and PS3 during the month of October.
They also stated that the Episodes will start to be released in 2008, as far as we know this is still an exclusive to Xbox Live Marketplace."
Excuse me for my ignorance and all, but will GTA IV be released in October or in 2008? And what the hell are Episodes? Thanks in advance
The game comes out in October, Episodes are just extra downloadable content to make the game last longer, may include extra missions or other stuff.
It's going to be released in October 2007.
And episodes are simply put, add ons
For example, people could consider Vice City an episodic update of GTA3.
Thanks! I already went crazy cause 2008 is far from here.. but I think I can last until October
Do you think because of the episodes they will no longer need to make another IV game?
The possibilities via the Extra Content are unlimited, only limited by space and what the console can handle
Possibilities are endless..but it also depends on how many people play the game for that long
I'm pretty sure that the exclusive episodes will be released for PS3 at a later time.
And whatever "exclusive" content the PS3 will get, will probably be limited as well.
But like with the Xbox and PC in the III engined generation, the PS3 will have to wait longer than the 360 users for this content.
Gives the 360 the "I need a console for GTAIV what one should I get" market for GTAIV in the short term atleast.
ANd as to the updates pertainign to possible games..I doubt it. The X360's hard drive is only 20GB, and the PS3's is only 60GB. Microsoft may have plans for a 120GB..but still.
Anyway my point being to download an entire game, the filesize will be HUGE. And with the amount of people on download-limited broadband, it's just not a possibility.

Kent State University Airport records, 1942-2004
Finding Aid
Prepared by Chris Casey, July 22, 2005; Updated April 2016
1 document case, .33 cubic feet, 11th floor
Historical Note (excerpted from former airport director Eugene G. Ripple from his March 1976 Thesis at the University of Akron titled: History of Aerospace Technology at KSU, 1941-1976)
Kent State University's Andrew W. Paton Field was the first airport in Summit County and was opened in 1920 under the name of Stow Aviation Field. The field was created by The Ohio Flying School and Transport Company, and $100,000 worth of stock was issued. Part of the money was used to lease thirty acres of farm land from Fred Smith and to construct a hangar to house the school's four Jenny airplanes. In 1921, The Ohio Flying School and Transport Company went bankrupt and was then purchased by Joseph Ash who ran both the school and the field until approximately 1923 when he went bankrupt as well. In 1925, A. T. Simmons and Hugh Robbins formed the Robbins Flying Service, which built a small hangar in 1930 after the original hangar burnt down in 1927. During these early days, Charles Lindbergh, Eddie Rickenbacher, and Floyd Bennet were known to have used the field. Financial woes in the early 1930's forced the Robbins Flying Service to suspend operation.
The new operator, Frankie C. Renner formed Stow Flying Field, Inc. This made her one of the first, if not the first, female airport operators on record. In 1939, Rudy Van Devere purchased the 78 acre farm from Smith and the airport became known as Stow Field. By 1940 three sod runways were in use. In 1945 Van Devere built the terminal building and then in 1947 he erected the large army surplus hangar on the field. The University purchased the airport from Van Devere in 1943 and renamed it the Kent State University Airport. In 1964, the name of the field was changed to Andrew W. Paton Field to honor the professor who taught the University's first aerospace course in 1947.
Scope and Content
This collection, arranged alphabetically, contains a variety of materials including newspaper clippings, brochures, reports, appraisals and facilities pertaining to the Kent State University Airport. Most items date from the 1960's and 1970's, with a few from the 1940's, 1990's, and 2004. Materials will be added to the collection on a continual basis.

text: Rumors suggest that the Wii is getting a price cut on May 15th, which will bring the console down to $150. This is great, but I don't think it will be enough. I feel like most people who wanted a Wii already went out and picked one up. It's no longer the must have console. Maybe this is Nintendo's way of getting rid of them, because they'll be announcing the Wii 2 at E3. I hope that's what it is because if they think this will give the Wii a second life, they're sadly mistaken.
