beamer | Two Columns with Pictures uncovered Item by Item
LaTeX Forum: LyXAdd tags Information and discussion about LyX, a WYSIWYM editor, available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X systems.
5 posts • Page 1 of 1
Hi there,
I am here under Ubuntu 11.10 with LyX 2.x and beamer class (options:
I am trying to create a frame with the following content:
* itemized text on the left side
* corresponding picture on the right
* realized with two column layout
And here's the problem: the pictures on the right should be NOT visible
until its their turn in the "item"-environment!
I tried to realize it like this:
The pictures are inserted "plain", whith the "insert graphics" command.
But the pictures are shown and visible all the time ... !
Dealing with this problem for several days now, I found a - pur tex -
solution at
http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~ ... -3_en.html
(there the beamer class example 5).
Its pretty much what I like (beside the overwrite), but it won't work in
LyX with the method above. OK, I could write plain TeX-code, but - hey -
we like to work with the LyX environment
So there are my questions according to beamer, LyX and this problem
1. How to "itemize" pictures correctly?
2. How toggle the visibility of pictures in LyX within a column
environment (more generally)
3. How to avoid an item environment in (get rid of the icons) LyX AND use <1>, <1->, ...
(like in the example mentioned above)
4. Is there a Documentation for LyX / Beamer (I only can find one
for "foiles")
People, you will help me a lot, within a few days there is an important
I posted this question also at lyx-users mailing list. I am showing up a solution here and there, a soon as I know how to solve the problem.
Hi Axel,
welcome to the board!
With LyX it's often hard to explain a problem and to describe a possbible solution, because it may involve clicking somewhere in a GUI that changes, and code is hidden. With LaTeX, it's often just exchanging code: posting the problem code, getting back the fixed code.
If it's really important, perhaps produce also LaTeX presentation, to avoid LyX-only problems, to have a higher chance to achieve the desired layout in time.

Thanks Stefan for your reply,
welcome everybody. I am working with LyX since its early beginnings, and that's really for a long time. But to the beamer class I am relatively new.
For my problem: I found the solution for one of my problems, only one question is left (see at the end of the post). Your posting made me look again in the preamble, commenting things out step by step and beginning from scratch.
The mean person was this option
Commenting it out, and everything went like expected. Mean mean mean ... I mean, really mean
For anyone of you, who likes to have the LyX-code for the - now working - sample posted in the first thread, here it is (be aware this is LyX 2.0!):
The only remaining problem now is:
Concrete: how to do the following in LyX:
I think, sometimes I will write a handbook for the beamer class This is a really really missing peace.
Hi Axel,
thanks for posting the solution!
It' nice to read that you are an experienced LyX user. It would be great if you would like to look at LyX questions here, from time to time, as LyX experts are rare.
When I look into the LyX subforum, I see many still open questions. So it would be great to have a helping hand there.
Site admin
You're welcome, I am sure you will see me in this forum.
This forum is a good place to post, I don't remember that I recovered it's precence in former times. I don't really like the mailing lists due to their limitations when it comes to the presentation of a problem (visually). Although there is a good blog interface for gmane (lyx-users mailing list), but nevertheless, it will remain "email" format. But that's another discussion (please don't comment here ... ).

New York City Mayor Michael Blomberg today said split-second decisions contributed to the survival of all 155 passengers and crew members plucked from the icy water after a Charlotte-bound US Airways jet landed in the Hudson River Thursday.
He said he had a key to the city that will eventually go to pilot Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger III, who is credited for successfully ditching the plane intact and getting all passengers off safely. Sullenberger couldn't appear at the City Hall ceremony because of the investigation.
Bloomberg also presented certificates to civilian and uniformed rescuers.
US Airways CEO Doug Parker was at the ceremony, also thanking the city. He would not take questions about what might have happened.
"Yesterday's event took place in a matter of minutes. Finding out what happened will take much longer than that," Parker said.

From the Associated Press:
ATLANTA (AP) -- Republican candidate Herman Cain declared "Here we go again" as he faced the latest crisis in his presidential campaign: an accusation of a 13-year extramarital affair with an Atlanta businesswoman.
On Monday, Ginger White said in an interview with Fox 5 Atlanta that her affair with Cain ended not long before the former businessman from Georgia announced his candidacy for the White House.
"It was fun," said White, 46, as she described how Cain had bought her plane tickets for a rendezvous in Palm Springs, Calif. "It was something that took me away from my sort of humdrum life at the time. And it was exciting."
Cain went on television to deny White's claims even before the report aired. It was a faster and more deliberate response than he had managed when it was reported that three women alleged he had sexually harassed or groped them when he was the president of the National Restaurant Association in the mid- to late 1990s. The trade group paid settlements to two women who had worked there.

text: For sale are my fantastic looking Zingali Overture .4 speakers. From one of Italy's foremost speaker manufacturers and the flagship model in the Overture range, I'd consider these a very musical and revealing speakerwith a powerful, controlled bass. In a stunning real walnut finish they are as much a piece of furniture with that added bonus of domestic acceptance built in. There are two small marks on the back edge of one plinth as can be seen in the last picture, these are in the surface finish and should be repairable by a decent French polisher if you're that fussed. Other than that they are perfect and I would rate them 9.5/10. They come complete with the original double boxes, all manuals and cable terminal links. They retailed at over £4500 when new, I'm looking for £2400 including carriage in the UK or reasonably local delivery if appropriate Review here: http://www.gryphon-audio.dk/files/reviews/113/review.pdf Feel free to PM me or call me on 07818 590 839 thanks for looking, John.

This weekend SHARK's supported riders had a fantastic weekend at Cadwell Park for the eighth round of the British Superbike Championship. Over the weekend SHARK-men collected ten podium places, as well as six top-ten finishes between them.
Alex Lowes wowed his home crowd in the British Superbike class by winning both races. Lowes was fastest in every session over the weekend, which landed him in pole position for race one. He then scored the fastest lap that landed him again in pole for the second race. Lowes is now second in the championship and has closed the gap on title leader Shane Byrne by 37 points. James Westmoreland scored two top-ten finishes in 10th and ninth places and is now closer to the top six for the Showdown.
In the Monster Energy British Motostar race it was a SHARK 1-2-3 on the podium with Joe Francis first, Andy Reid second (he was first in the 125) and Joe Irving third. Francis leads the overall championship standings by 36 points, while Irving is sitting in third.
The British Supersport races saw Ben Wilson edge closer to the two riders ahead of him in the championship standings, after scoring a win in race one and a close second in the feature race.
The Superstock 1000 race saw a fantastic second place finish for 17-year old Lee Jackson, with fellow SHARK man Victor Cox in third. Cox is fourth in the overall championship with Jackson in seventh. The Superstock 600 race saw another SHARK podium with a third place for Nick Anderson, and current title leader Jordan Simpkin finished in fourth.
The Triumph Triple Challenge saw Philip Atkinson finish his weekend in fourth and fifth, with Dan Helyer sixth in race one. In the overall championship Atkinson sits fourth with Helyer in sixth.
Meanwhile in Brno for MotoGP it was a mixed weekend for SHARK riders. In Moto2 Scott Redding suffered with bike set-up issues all weekend that caused the young-Brit problems in the 20-lap race. At one point during the race Redding was up to fifth, but the problems returned and Redding eventually crossed the line in eighth place. Meanwhile Johann Zarco finished in fifth.
This weekend MotoGP heads to Silverstone for the British round of the championship, World Superbikes will be from the Nürburgring in Germany and British Superbikes will return 6-8 September from Donington Park.
Alex Lowes
The races were hard work actually! I had a good pace in practice and qualifying and then the temperature went up for the first race which made it more difficult. I wanted to try and get to the front and then if they passed me they would have to work really hard to pull it off! I didn't want Shakey to come by me at the end of the race and with five laps to go I pushed hard and that was enough. Overall it has been a fairytale weekend. That second race was so hard and fair play to Josh as he stuck with me and pushed me. When he came passed me I thought: "No, I have led all this time and he has got me on the final lap", but then luck was on my side. I hope Josh is OK and I am sure he is going to come back strong at Donington. I want to thank my team and all the fans at Cadwell Park for their support this weekend; it has been awesome. I am looking forward to the rest of the season.

SHEFFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio – A driver injured in a crash that closed the eastbound lane of I-90 for nearly two hours has been released from the hospital and another is now listed in fair condition, a hospital official said.
Kevin Mchue, 25, of Cleveland was driving west on the interstate through Sheffield Village July 29 when his car bumped into another vehicle, swerved across the median and into the eastbound lane and smashed head-on into a car driven by Andrew Couture, a 21-year-old Massachusetts man, police said.
Both were flown to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland with serious injuries. Couture has been released, a hospital official said Wednesday, and Mchue is listed in fair condition.
The crash closed the eastbound lane of the interstate 90 for nearly two hours as police and firefighters cleared an area for two helicopters to land, police said.

Bruce Springsteen finished up his two nights in Boston Wednesday and Bruce blogger Stan Goldstein has the setlist and some great show notes here. There's some amateur video on YouTube so far today, nothing spectacular like Los Angeles but here's a taste of Springsteen and the E Street Band doing The Ramones 'I Wanna Be Sedated' from some behind the stage seats. Take a watch and let me know what you think.
Additionally, there are a couple of vids of The Dropkick Murphys onstage with Springsteen doing 'American Land', including this one by YouTuber mvamor20.

The past few weeks I have found myself on life's roller coaster… Lots of ups and downs!
Soon after my last blog post I had a checkup with Dr. Wilson, my hematologist/oncologist. Following my most recent central line fiasco, Dr. Wilson briefly saw me while I was inpatient and waived my appointment that was scheduled for a few days later. Since we didn't exchange our typical lengthy banter during that admission, I actually had a chance to miss him! He really is an awesome doctor and person. At my appointment, Mom and I rehashed the details of my visit to Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Dr. Wilson seemed to be as happy as we are that I have found a helpful team of doctors in Cincy willing to work on my behalf.
Since the beginning of this year my blood counts have been even more persnickety than usual. My hemoglobin has taken quite a dip, making me feel extremely wiped out, and additionally exacerbating my pain. Dr. Wilson has been closely monitoring my counts, hoping they would rebound on their own, but it appears that I am in need of a blood transfusion. Hopefully this intervention will replenish my pep!
Miss Alice Eloise has hit a bit of a rough patch as well.
Recently she mysteriously strained her back and was prescribed two weeks of bed rest and medication. This downtime seemed to do the trick, and she was feeling much better until she resumed her usual activity level. So on Sunday it was back to the vet we went. And if it wasn't for my baby's pain, it would have been an enjoyable experience; I love going to the animal hospital! It's so delightful making all kinds of new animal friends! X-rays were taken, and fortunately there were no major problems apparent. Alice has very minor disc compression, presumably from muscle spasms. We are hoping that after another period of restricted activity and more medications, my little shadow will once again be her spunky and FRAP-tastic self!
But don't you worry about us. Alice Eloise and I have not been throwing our own little pity party. With her as my service dog, and me as her service human, we make a pretty sensational team!
And I am grateful to report that we have had a few special surprises to brighten our days. Recently Alice received a package in the mail from her native land Cedar Hill, the farm where she was born. Theresa, the Doodle breeder, was so thoughtful and sent Alice a rockstar-worthy Christmas collar! Not only is this festive collar adorned with candy canes, but it has blinking lights to boot! No doubt Alice will outshine the Christmas tree this year. And am I the only one who has realized that we are exactly six months away from Christmas today?! Anyone want to come bake some Christmas cookies with me?
To add to the fun, a few weeks back I received a message from a dog artist. (Yes, a dog artist! What a fascinating line of work!) Ginger, the aforementioned artist, has an online shop, full of precious doggie illustrations. She had been searching for a Doodle model and stumbled upon the pictures of Alice Eloise on The Daily Puppy. Naturally she was captivated by that irresistible puppy dog pout, and she knew that she had found just the right Doodle for the job. And the result? Just look at this adorable masterpiece!
And the quote describes our relationship to a T. My very-soon-to-be service dog offers boundless love and support! I am so thankful to have her in my life.
Our family enjoyed a perfectly lovely Father's Day. Krista and Tim kindly hosted a lovely celebratory lunch. And we were graced with the company of my Aunt Janet, my Uncle Richard, and my cousin Honeypie! (Technically her name is Laura. Incidentally, this spectacular cousin of mine not only has her own holiday, but an entire honorary holiweek celebrated every February! Yes indeed, Laura Admiration Week was founded in recognition of Honeypie's outstanding generosity in caring for me when I had a weeklong epidural nearly ten years ago. What a superhero!)
And why do I call her Honeypie, you ask? Well, she and I have always been fond of nicknames. (I'm not kidding, guys… If you would be so kind, could you please refer to me as Sabrina Giselle from this time forward?) So one day I was coloring a picture for Laura of Strawberry Shortcake and her beloved pony, Honeypie. And I had the sudden revelation that Honeypie would be a perfectly suited nickname for my beautiful, admirable cousin. I mean, check out this resemblance.
They both have stunningly flowy, curly manes. So Honeypie was an obvious choice as a nickname! And I am sure that Laura is just overjoyed to have such a sophisticated moniker. I believe she is considering having new business cards made to reflect this.
I have also taken my first foray into canning! "Green Acres" is one of my all-time favorite television shows, and I have fantasized about having a lifestyle (and Hungarian accent) similar to that of Lisa Douglas, the lovely city-girl uprooted and relocated to middle-of-nowhere Hooterville. And such a lifestyle necessitates jam! Strawberry jam seemed like an appropriate gateway into the wonderful world of canning. But just as I was reaching the zenith of my jam-making adventure, our electricity (or electricicle, as Lisa Douglas would say) conked out! So due to the abbreviated cooking time, I ended up with ten jars of strawberry ice cream topping. Oh well! Worse things can happen in life. And it just so happens that I make fantastic ice cream!
I've heard tell that Food Network has an opening for a new show. I feel that the entertainment industry is in need of a Hungarian jamstress, so I took the liberty of filming this pilot episode:
I wish I could end this journal entry on that upbeat note, but our family was given some concerning news last week. My Aunt Janet has had severe back pain for a while now, and after a battery of testing, she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer. So on July 15th Aunt Janet and Uncle Richard will be seeing doctors at Mayo Clinic in order to learn more about this condition. We are hoping that this has been caught at an early stage. Genetic testing is available at facilities such as Mayo that can aid in directing treatment for each individual patient, resulting in the best possible outcome. I know I can speak for my whole family in saying that we would greatly appreciate your prayers.
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9
Since the day I was born, Aunt Janet has been one of my best buds, a regular partner in my goofdom. She introduced me to the finer things in life, like "I Love Lucy", "A Charlie Brown Christmas", and Ricky Martin music, was the world's greatest guidance counselor when I was in high school, and is my go-to authority regarding all-things sewing. But best of all, she always makes a point of coming to visit me, letting me know that I am loved and never forgotten.
And I am certain that I am just one of many people that Aunt Janet has made feel so very special! Learning from her example, I realize that now is the time to give her plenty of extra hugs and "I love you's", which I fully intend to do… And surely there are a whole bunch of others lined up to do the same!
Allow me to step up to my soapbox for a minute. Within the past two months a couple of people very close to my heart have been diagnosed with a hematological cancer. As I just mentioned, my aunt was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. A friend of my family, Glenn, was diagnosed with leukemia. And I myself have Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)… And if it weren't for blood donors, I quite certainly wouldn't be alive.
Every two seconds someone in the United States requires a blood transfusion. And just a single donation has the potential to save up to three lives! One of the top reasons cited regarding why a person doesn't give blood is "I never thought about it." Perhaps people don't realize what a remarkable difference their donation would make. As a blood recipient, I have inexpressible gratitude for the kindhearted donors who have taken the incentive to offer this life-giving gift.
And in return for such a benevolent deed, one can look forward to a reward yummy cookie!… As well as the satisfaction of saving lives.

How Fashion People Eat Well (or Don't)
(Credit: Chris Craymer)
In the life of every New York fashion girl, there comes a moment when a big decision must be made.
When mine happened, I was settling into my seat at Michael's a few years ago, barely looking at the menu as I scanned the room to spot the who's who that day. It was a fashion lunch like many others–with a bunch of your typical sassy, sharp-heeled girls–but one I had been particularly looking forward to as I hadn't yet been to this New York City institution.
Knowing this, one of the girls leaned over and kindly offered, "You must have the Cobb salad–it's fabulous here." Turning to the waiter, she said: "I'll have the Cobb salad–no eggs, no cheese, no bacon. And the dressing on the side, please." Her colleague ordered the same. And then both of them turned to look at me expectantly.
Now, I may be a bigger fan of bacon, eggs, and cheese than Paula Deen. But with two sets of perfectly mascara-ed eyes staring at me, I caved. Cobb salad it was–sans eggs and cheese. (I couldn't bring myself to nix the bacon. "Protein," I wanly tried to explain.)
In the 12 years that I've covered fashion–for the Wall Street Journal, InStyle, and the Baltimore Sun, among other publications–I've had this moment too many times. At the Four Seasons or the charming Bergdorf Goodman cafe, I've scanned the menu, my stomach nudging me to order the fattiest, the most decadent, the juiciest of choices. Truffled linguines, hefty burgers, deviled eggs, croque Madames–these and more have all tugged at my heart.
Inevitably, though, when the waiter comes around, I crumble. After hearing three orders for a plate of leaves, I'm simply not going to be the person who orders a pound of meat–with fries, please.
Resistance isn't futile–it's just very, very uncomfortable. It's all right to get bangs when long and side-swept is de rigueur. It's even OK to be carrying that quilted Prada bowler from a few seasons ago. ("Vintage," after all.) But gnaw on a large hunk of meat or–God forbid–something starchy, and you're asking to be treated like a gal with a standing ticket at the Marc Jacobs show.
For too long, this was my life. And then I broke out of it.
After years of running to McDonald's for a quick fix after yet another fashion lunch, I realized I was developing an intense, and slightly warped, relationship with food. I had grown up in Singapore, a country as obsessed with food as it is with math and money. And yet here I was in my 30s, in New York City, one of the great food capitals of the world, not daring to eat because I was afraid it was unfashionable.
Of course, there are legions who will tell you this is silly–that I'd simply been a twit.
When I asked Manhattan chef Michael Psilakis (Kefi, Fishtag) about this recently, his response was quick: "Order the steak and tell them to go (fashion) themselves." Chef Michael Schwartz, of Michael's Genuine Food and Drink in Miami, had more practical advice: "I'd go with a salad and throw some protein on it, maybe ask the waiter what is fresh, see if they've got sustainable meat or local fish, and call it a day."
On the flip side, eveningwear designer Carmen Marc Valvo did note that he doesn't usually eat at fashion luncheons or black-tie dinners because "well…the food is not usually very good." (Instead, he reserves his eating enjoyment for weekends. "I love to cook for family and friends–they may not all wear my gowns but they can all enjoy one of my food creations.")
A few years ago, with another stressful fashion season on the horizon, I fled to Singapore for a week to eat and cook with the butter- and pork-belly-loving aunties in my family. That visit, I ate everything I wanted–greasy Indian rotis slathered with fiery curry, Hainanese chicken with rice so oily that each grain was coated with glistening chicken fat, and my late grandmother's take on soy-sauce-braised fatty pork belly.
And I never felt better. I emerged from that trip with a new passion for food but also keen to find its connections to fashion, which turned out to be fairly easy to spot.
On a trip to Milan to cover the shows, a member of the seasoned fashion flock steered me toward Bebel's, where I devoured a veal chop the size of my face and then discovered that Miuccia Prada is also a fan. (She and her husband are said to be devotees.)
And then there was the lunch I had with Kate White, then editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan, at the old-school Brasserie Cognac in New York City. There, I just about fell off my chair when Kate ordered a big steak and proceeded to eat it all. No pushing pieces of meat around a plate for this lady. I wanted to get on my knees to kiss her Louboutins.
I asked Kate about this lunch recently–I had spent years marveling at the memory of watching one of the most powerful women in fashion magazines enjoy a large steak.
"I know what you mean about the whole food thing–and I've never understood it," she said almost immediately. "Are they afraid of staining their outfit if the food is too juicy, or that one steak will make them fat?"
As it usually is with fashion, however, Kate suggested that there's probably something else going on there. "Sometimes I do sense it's for effect, that they feel that ordering the salad with the dressing on the side gives them as much status as a killer handbag," she added. "But I love food, love to cook and eat, and to me, life is too short for dressing on the side."
Sound words from a woman who has it all–and is unafraid to eat it, too. –Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan

U.S., Africa Aim to Boost Trade
Leaders at Summit Seek to Renew Program Extending Tariff, Quota Exemptions
U.S. and African leaders meeting in Washington on Monday kicked off a campaign to renew a program that gives exemptions on U.S. tariffs and quotas in an effort to boost trade and stimulate the economies of sub-Saharan African countries.
Leaders in the U.S. and Africa are looking to spur economic ties at a time when trade between the two is sinking and China's hunger for commodities is boosting Beijing's influence on the continent.
American officials and lawmakers say extending the 14-year-old African Growth and Opportunity Act, or Agoa, is crucial to preserving trade ties with fast-growing African countries, especially when U.S. trade negotiations at the World Trade Organization and with other major economies have stalled.
China passed the U.S. in imports in 2012 and imported $88 billion from sub-Saharan Africa in 2013, according to the International Monetary Fund. Partly because of increased oil production at home, U.S. imports from the region plunged to $34.5 billion last year, from a peak of $78.2 billion in 2008, with exports showing some gains in recent years.
Agoa is part of a strategy to increase economic ties with a growing Africa—including in trade and power generation—as China strengthens ties on the continent and the European Union negotiates free-trade agreements there. The goal, U.S. officials say, is to replace foreign aid with trade.
Building economic ties could also help contain conflicts that have convulsed Africa, said Erastus Mwencha, deputy chairman of the 54-nation African Union.
But critics point out that the bulk of African trade is oil shipments from West Africa, and U.S. agricultural and textile interests have opposed efforts to expand the list of products eligible for tariff and quota breaks.
President Barack Obama's trade policy has faced delays and dogged opposition in Congress, and a similar preferential tariffs program for the developing world was allowed to expire last year.
Still, trade with sub-Saharan Africa is so small that Mr. Obama and other officials say it shouldn't be seen as a threat to the U.S. domestic industry. Non-oil Agoa trade was only about $5 billion in 2013, still up from just $1.4 billion in 2001, said U.S. Trade Representative Mike Froman.
That is because Africa's factories and farms still face the same headaches as ever: ramshackle roads, debilitating blackouts, ports that need to be dredged and bureaucracies that process permits at a glacial pace.
Agoa "has not in fact been as powerful a stimulant in growing trade and investment as those who supported wanted," said Johnnie Carson, former assistant secretary of state for African affairs, in an interview. "Progress is being made—it's just being made at a much slower rate than many of us had anticipated."
One way to boost trade with the U.S. further would be to loosen Agoa's rules for sugar, tobacco and cotton.
"The issue of cotton, of course, remains a key concern of Africa." Mr. Mwencha told Mr. Froman and representatives of 40 African countries gathered on Monday in Washington, the first day of the U.S.-Africa summit.
The U.S. is looking at make the criteria tougher for African countries to gain certain Agoa benefits, including in the areas of worker rights and rules that block agricultural trade, Mr. Froman said.He urged Congress to act soon to renew Agoa, since some factory owners and other investors need to make decisions a year or more in advance. The act needs to be reauthorized by September 2015.
"Things just take too long—it scares people," said Cliff Schiffman, director of sales and marketing for Cherry Tree, a Turkish clothing-sourcing company that manufactures in Kenya. "I think deep down, the Congress does want to support Africa.…Unfortunately our legislative process is extremely slow."
Lawmakers say opening U.S. markets won't transform economic ties with Africa.
"Barriers to U.S. trade and investment in the region continue to inhibit the full potential of the U.S.-African trade relationship," a group of Democratic and Republican lawmakers who write trade legislation said in a joint statement on Monday.

Sheriff orders fingerprinting when traffic citations issued
ASSOCIATED PRESS | February 3, 2005
By Beth Defalco
PHOENIX – Sheriff's deputies in the Phoenix area on Thursday began asking drivers getting ticketed for certain traffic violations to provide their fingerprints, drawing criticism from civil rights activists.
The fingerprinting is part of a pilot program that Sheriff Joe Arpaio says will help fight identity theft in Phoenix. The city has the highest per-capita rate of identity theft complaints in the country, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
The fingerprinting would help identify people with stolen or falsified driver's licenses, the sheriff said. It also ensures that innocent people whose identities are stolen do not get charged with crimes they did not commit.
Arpaio said the new procedure is designed to ensure the person who committed the offense is the same person being charged with a crime in the courtroom.
"It's a huge problem and law enforcement needs to be proactive in fighting it," Arpaio said.
Deputies started carrying inkless fingerprint pads and were asking for a thumbprint from drivers given criminal tickets – such as those issued for excessive speeding. Most moving violations are civil offenses and thus not part of the program.
Arpaio stressed that giving fingerprints would be voluntary, but constitutional law experts and civil rights groups were quick to point out problems with the program. Many doubted whether drivers would understand that they were not required to give their fingerprint.
They also questioned how fingerprints would ultimately be used.
"The sheriff doesn't have the right to make that extra intrusion on someone's privacy under the state constitution," said Paul Bender, a constitutional law professor at Arizona State University.
Eleanor Eisenberg, executive director for the Arizona chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, called the fingerprint program "an example of putting the cart before the horse."
The chapter was looking into whether the program infringes on privacy rights, Eisenberg said.
"The standard is not whether we have anything to hide," she said, "It's 'Does the government have a right to invade our privacy?'"

GRAND RAPIDS – There wasn't a men's basketball team hotter than Grand Rapids Community College entering the NJCAA District 9 tournament.
And no one was able to cool off the Raiders.
GRCC continued its torrid postseason run and punched its ticket to the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II national tournament last Saturday night with a 78-73 upset of No. 9 Glen Oaks Community College in the championship game.
The victory was the unseeded Raiders' 10th straight under second-year coach TJ Carnegie.
"It's almost been like two different seasons for us," Carnegie said. "We started off a little bit slower, but we've been playing pretty well as of late. Once we got the invite to the conference tournament, you only have to win three games, so I knew they had it in them."
GRCC (21-8) disposed of Lake Michigan College and Lansing Community College to reach the title game.
Freshman Deontae Hudson was named tournament MVP and former East Kentwood standout Miles Robinson was named to the all-tournament team.
"It was a matter of whether or not they could put it all together, and they really did," Carnegie said. "We had to go through three really good teams to get there, and somehow the guys found a way to do it. They've really come together the last six weeks and peaked at the right time."
The Raiders will head to the 16-team national tournament next week in Danville, Ill., and will meet 7th-seeded Moraine Valley Community College (Ill.) (28-5) Wednesday at 11 a.m. in an opening-round game.
It will be GRCC's second consecutive appearance at nationals after going 1-2 last season.
The Raiders finished second in the Michigan Community College Athletic Association West Division, and Carnegie said navigating through a grueling conference schedule should bode well for his team at the national tournament.
"Our conference is really good top to bottom, and there are a lot of good athletes in our conference," he said. "Anytime you can win the conference tournament – it's really an accomplishment and I'm proud of them.
"We've played a pretty tough schedule this year. We've had a lot of road games, and neutral site games, and I think that it will help prepare us for the tournament."
Carnegie received his first glimpse of the national tournament last season, but no one on this year's roster of eight freshman and one sophomore have been there before.
He said the national field is loaded with top-notch teams and players.
"There are a lot of really good teams down at the national tournament, and its one of those things that is hard to describe unless you've seen it," he said. "You are looking at some of the best athletes in the country, and every Division I school is there watching and recruiting. It's a really cool atmosphere."
Carnegie said the opportunity to compete at the national tournament is a satisfying feat.
"It's a great reward for them and they deserve it," he said.
"They've worked really hard and grinded the whole season through good times and bad times. They've battled through adversity, kept their grades up and done everything we've asked to them to do."

Update: Myers found not guilty by Perry County jury
A Liverpool man who works part-time for Duncannon Emergency Medical Services is accused of "dry humping" a 15-year-old female volunteer of the company, according to court records.
Gregory David Myers, 51, is charged with indecent assault, indecent assault of a person younger than 16 years old, corruption of minors and indecent assault by forcible compulsion.
The alleged assault occurred at 12:30 a.m. on July 24. Myers is accused of entering the common living room at the Duncannon EMS station and telling the 15-year-old girl he was going to kiss her before she went to bed, court records state.
The girl, who said she was lying on her stomach on a couch with a blanket on top of her, told police that she pretended to be asleep so that Myers would leave her alone.
He then allegedly lay on top of her, above the blanket, and put his face close to hers. He then began to grope her above her clothing, according to court records.
The girl started to move so that Myers would know she was awake, she told police. When he got off of her, the girl said she immediately left the room and locked herself in a bathroom.
Kraig Nace, the company chief and EMS coordinator for Duncannon EMS, later arrived and said he reported the alleged incident to police.
Myers was suspended from work for three weeks following the incident and has returned to work, Nace said. He also said Myers is the company's longest tenured part-time employee and has worked there since 2004.
Charges were filed Oct. 9 against Myers. He has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Nov. 15 in Perry Count court before Magisterial District Judge Daniel R. McGuire.

Quick! Name a director from the Pacific Northwest.
You know you're going to say Gus Van Sant. Even if you hate My Own Private Idaho (hell, I kinda do), his is too often the only name that comes to mind. That sucks.
But when it comes to films, people approach with caution. Can you blame them? Who hasn't been duped by an arty friend into sitting through a documentary about urban goats? Or a drama about a down-on-his-luck poet whining about the girl who got away? Amateur film can be boring. It can be masturbatory. It can be like pouring rubbing alcohol into your eyes.
But all the greats have to start somewhere, and for the past 40 years, names-to-watch have made their debut at the NW Film Center's Northwest Filmmakers' Festival, which begins its nine-day run Friday.
This year's roster is full of unfamiliar names. But skim a list of past contributors and you'll see then-unknowns who became powerhouses, including Van Sant, Alien Boy director Brian Lindstrom, documentary master Ivy Lin, animators Bill Plympton and Will Vinton, and âTwisted Twinsâ Jen and Sylvia Soska, whose Dead Hooker in a Trunk led to 2012âs cult horror hit American Mary.
"People think because it's a regional festival, the work isn't going to be world-class," says festival director Thomas Phillipson.
But here's the thing: The Northwest Filmmakers' Fest is like every other film fest. There are great entries this year, including Eden, a thriller about sex trafficking inspired by true events (7 pm Sunday, Nov. 10). There's Barzan, a documentary offering a first-person account of post-9/11 xenophobia (2 pm Sunday, Nov. 10), and All the Labor, which does the unthinkable in humanizing a hippie jam band (8:30 pm Saturday, Nov. 16).
And, of course, there are duds. Take Neurons to Nirvana: Understanding Psychedelic Medicine (7 pm Thursday, Nov. 14), a documentary so over-stylized it looks like Michael Bay handled the post-production. Or Hawaiian Punch (8:30 pm Monday, Nov. 11), which features a lot of staring and pensive gazing and makes mumblecore seem like Lethal Weapon.
But approach it as you would any fest, carefully selecting the pictures that appeal to you, and who knows: There might be a future Van Sant out there, some unknown who will become an indie darling and then, inexplicably, remake Shadow of a Doubt.
Plus, in a town that beats its chest supporting local art, it'd be refreshing to extend your local film experience beyond DVR'ing Grimm. Multiple venues. Nov. 8-16. See nwfilm.org for a full schedule.
Also showing:
- Nowadays, Emilio Estevez is about as punk as oatmeal. Back in 1984, though, he was punk as fuck in Alex Coxâs Repo Man, which starts with car theft and UFOs and only gets weirder. Academy. Nov. 8-14.
- Is Citizen Kane the greatest movie ever made? Nope. Point Break is. But what Orson Wellesâ film lacks in bank robberies, buddy cops, skydiving and rampant homoeroticism it makes up for in being a timeless study of the nightmare lurking in the American dream. Laurelhurst. Nov. 8-14.
- Five Easy Pieces doesnât just feature Jack Nicholsonâs brilliant performance as a confused young trust-funder. It also includes the greatest instructional speech on ordering toast ever. Fifth Avenue Cinema. 7 and 9:30 pm Friday-Saturday and 3 pm Sunday, Nov 8-10.
- Whatâs the weirdest movie youâve ever seen? Does it involve space warriors and a cosmic Jesus trying to possess a little girl and a hawk? Does it star Lance Henriksen, John Huston, Sam Peckinpah and Shelly Winters? Didnât think so. You must see The Visitor to believe it even exists. Hollywood Theatre. Friday-Saturday, Nov 8-9.
- Hitchcockâs Strangers on a Train introduced the murder-swap plot that was essential to Throw Momma From the Train and every other episode of Dateline. Six decades later, it remains unnerving. Hollywood Theatre, 2 pm Saturday-Sunday, Nov 9-10.
- Like Kramer vs. Kramer, but with more arm rasslinâ and less courtroom drama, Sylvester Stalloneâs truck-drivinâ opus Over the Top deserves its place at Hecklevision. Hollywood Theatre. 7 pm Saturday, Nov 9.
- The Kung Fu Theater series remains the Hollywoodâs rowdiest event, and this month features the Sammo Hung-starring classic The Prodigal Son. Hollywood Theatre. 7 pm Tuesday, Nov 11.

When Pinckney guard Ben Schmitter hit a 3-pointer to go up 22-12 on Huron in the with five minutes, 27 seconds left in the second quarter, it was a huge basket for the Pirates' upset efforts.
Unfortunately for Pinckney, it was also one of the last.
Huron didn't allow another Pinckney field goal until the opening minute of the third quarter, and only allowed five in the entire second half of its 65-48 Class A district semifinal win at Dexter High School Wednesday.
Huron coach Waleed Samaha said after watching Pinckney edge Dexter on Monday in a 42-41 last-second victory, his team expected a physical battle against the Pirates' long, athletic lineup.
The River Rats got exactly that in the first half, but Huron's defense overwhelmed the Pirates (12-10) from midway in the second quarter on.
"They executed very well, they were very aggressive in the first half, but I think we wore them down," Samaha said. "Plus, Sam (Black) missed some shots in the third quarter, and the other night he was making everything."
Black had seven points in a hurry Wednesday night with a 3-pointer, a layup after a footrace for a loose ball, and a mid-range jumper in the first quarter, and a couple assists on the baseline as well. But after another basket in the second quarter, Black, like the rest of his teammates, went cold from the field. He finished with a team-high 18 points.
Xavier Coachran led Huron with 22 while Jalen Thompson had 17 and David Wren 12.
Of course Black didn't just go cold, as Huron's defense had much to do with the Pirates' woes. Huron extended its press and forced nine turnovers during the second-quarter turnaround. Huron ended the half on an 18-3 run and picked up right where it left off after halftime with a 10-0 run to start the third.
Huron's 10-point deficit three minutes into the second quarter was a 15-point advantage with three minutes left in the third.
"I think we just wore them down," Samaha said. "I come out of this game happy for us and very impressed with them. They played very hard."
That hard play took a toll on Huron (16-5) as Brian Walker had to leave the game after tweaking his ankle. Samaha said he'll lean heavily on his trainer to hopefully help Walker get healthy for Friday's district final against Skyline. Skyline beat Pioneer 71-52 Wednesday.
Huron's typically deep bench has take a hit in the last few weeks with Jack Smith, Thomas Logue and James Bernard already out of the lineup due to injury, and now Walker. Huron is also without starting point guard Antonio Henry, who Samaha said is no longer with the program.
Meanwhile, Skyline is playing its best basketball of late, and Samaha anticipates another physical battle Friday.
"As much as we try to make it a full court game, it's going to end up being a half court game. You gotta execute in the half court and you gotta win rebounds. We did that at times tonight," Samaha said. "We're going to see how many guys we can put in a uniform Friday night. We're just down a lot of guys. We'll come out and compete, I know that."

Rangers release Manny Ramirez
The Rangers announced they have released Manny Ramirez. He spent his entire time with the organization in Triple-A Round Rock. Ramirez hit .259 with three home runs and 13 RBIs in 30 games with Round Rock.
"Based on our evaluation, there was not a spot for manny on the club at this time," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. "We released him so he could pursue other opportunities if he so chooses."
4 Comments
The Rangers were using Ramirez, just in case. Let's remember they brought him on board for a reason and would have used him if it became necessary! Just like Nellie will be used for the playoffs. Not sure why Daniels is being coy about whether Nellie comes back for playoffs or not. I still don't understand why Nellie didn't appeal and play for the rest of this season and throughout the playoffs. I wouldn't leave 2.2 million on the table, nor would I miss the season. This is why Selig is a fool. The main or chief violator is still playing baseball and will play throughout the playoffs. Lets all not be naïve IT IS ABOUT WINNING GAMES and as Malcom X said, "BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY."
No one and I repeat NO ONE cares how you conduct yourself. It is all about winning, putting rear ends in the stands to buy that $6.50 Beer. Does anyone on here realize that alcohol is a drug, a Central Nervous System Depressant? If Baseball is so against PED'S then how is it they are paid huge advertising dollars to sell that beer, which results in far more deaths through liver disease and intoxicated driving assaults and manslaughters, not too mention the idiots that fall out of the stands from severe intoxication. Yes Atlanta you are going to get your butt's sued for overserving that guy who recently fell to his death. At least, the PED'S are only hurting themselves not others!
The Newark bears are looking to sign manny

Administrators will have to determine how much each teacher is responsible for each student's performance in school as part of the new teacher effectiveness standards which go into effect next year, according to officials with the Derry Twp. School District.
That will make it "an interesting challenge," assistant superintendent Bernie Kepler told the school board Monday night.
For instance: Johnnie's English teacher is judged partly on Johnnie's test scores. Kepler said. But Johnnie also goes to a reading specialist several times a week. And he moved from the Philadelphia School District in October. That means administrators have to divide up the responsibility between several instructors, some not even in the same school district.
Teacher effectiveness will be based 50 percent on observation by school administrators. The rest will include test scores, the ability to close the achievement gap among historically low achieving groups, the improvement in test scores from the beginning to end of the school year, the number of students scoring at the advanced level on PSSA tests, the number of students taking AP courses, a building level score and more.
For teachers of non-academic courses like art, music and physical education, the evaluation will include portfolios and student projects.
It will be complex, Kepler said.
And in the 2014-15 school year, principals will also be evaluated on their observational skills, and will be marked down if their observations don't correlate with the numerical data.
According to assistant superintendent Joseph McFarland, there will be nine or ten steps involved in the observations, including meetings before and after the observations and opportunities for back-and-forth communications between principals and teachers.
"It's more time commitment," he said.
The state teacher effectiveness standards were designed to find a way to evaluate teachers on more than test scores or classroom observations alone.

Corwin's family-owned business cultivates over 1 million ducks each year, much of which is distributed to "white table cloth" restaurants in the region. Ducklings are USDA Grade A and the birds are fed a natural grain diet (crafted on the farm)
As for his own appetite for duck breast, Corwin says, "I love eating it. I love making it. I love ordering it from a menu." He even served it alongside the family's prime rib this past Christmas.
Corwin advises the home cook, "Score the skin. Season it the way you want to season it — salt, garlic and pepper." He occasionally uses Mrs. Dash.
"Cook it maybe about 10 minutes, skin-side down, in a hot frying pan with a little oil. Some chefs use butter," he notes. For an 18-ounce whole breast he suggests flipping the cooked breast over, then searing it further for 1 or 2 minutes. One will know when it's done, he assures, by its look and feel.
"You look at the meat and see how it's reacting," he said, adding "You want to render that skin fat down; cook the meat until it's rare to medium rare — you want to taste that meat. It should be tender, almost like a fine steak." A well-done duck breast makes Corwin cringe.
Use the seared, sliced breast in a wrap with scallions or present the meat sliced over a salad of arugula greens.
Crescent Duck Farm's products can be ordered on-line at Roastgoose.com or through Freshdirect.com which now delivers to most of Staten Island. Find duck breast (generally frozen and packed in Cryovaced bags) at Wegmans in Short Hills, NJ or Fairway in Brooklyn.
(4 servings)
2 duck breast halves, skin side intact, each about 14 ounces
Fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup low-sodium beef broth (may substitute vegetable broth)
8 fresh raspberries
3 tablespoons port or Madeira (may substitute sweet sherry)
Leaves from thyme sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, use a sharp knife to score the duck breast skin on the diagonal in one direction and then in the other, spacing the cuts about ½ inch apart and being careful not to cut all the way through to the meat. Season both sides of each breast with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the breasts skin side down in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, until they are nicely browned and a fair amount of fat has been rendered. Turn the breasts over and cook for 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep them warm while you make the sauce.
Spoon out all but 2 tablespoons of the fat; strain and reserve for another use, if desired.
Add the broth to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes or until it is reduced by about half. Add the raspberries; once they have warmed through, use a fork to crush them and release their juices. Add the port or Madeira; cook for 2 minutes, stirring. If desired, use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the sauce into a serving bowl. Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Uncover the duck breasts. Cut each one on the diagonal into ½-inch slices, fanning them on individual plates. Spoon the sauce over them and sprinkle with thyme leaves, if desired. Serve warm.
— Adapted from a recipe by chef Raymond Campet, owner of La Cote D'Or Cafe, in "Washington D.C.: Celebrated Chefs, Volume I" (Rubicon Interactive, 2010).

Some new kids on the Pittsburgh block
Based on this morning's skate, it seems that all four players called up from the AHL will be in Pittsburgh's lineup, on either the third or four line. That includes Pasadena native Brett Sterling (picture), who has 19 previous NHL games with the Atlanta Thrashers and who had 18 goals and 21 assists in 46 AHL games this season. Joe Vitale is scheduled for his NHL debut while Nick Johnson will play his seventh game. The Penguins are having to mix and match without injured forwards Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Chris Kunitz and suspended forward Matt Cooke. Terry Murray was asked today about facing the shorthanded Penguins…
MURRAY: "Any time you lose top players like that, in the game, it's really unfortunate for the game of hockey. But from our side of it, we have to come out and play the right way. We have to do the same things, and know that we've got to work hard, that every shift matters. So whether you have the top players of the opponent against you, or you have a banged-up team, I know darn well that Pittsburgh is still a very good defensive hockey club. They're going to bring a lot of intensity, a lot of hard play, and we've got to be ready to match that."
Question: They have a couple guys in their lineup that you probably don't know a lot about…
MURRAY: "We have our secret scouts all over the place, to give us a lot of feedback on players. [smiles] It's great to see young players. We went through the process there, just a couple years ago, with bringing a lot of young players into the organization and not knowing who they were and giving them an opportunity to play. And they're pretty good players. There's a lot of emotion and adrenaline, and they're going to go out there tonight and give everything they can. This is their opportunity to show management that they're ready to play in the National Hockey League. So it will be a high-energy game."

This weekend, the Dodgers' Yasiel Puig will hit the 100-plate-appearance mark as a big-leaguer, and what a ride it's been.
Puig's story, as noted in a previous column, has electrified the game. He has blended power (seven homers going into Friday), clutch hitting (over .400 consistently since he played his first game on June 3) and great defense. He's been Roy Hobbs, Vladamir Guerrero and Roberto Clemente all rolled into one, a captivating player the likes of which the game hasn't seen in years.
The problem, as it relates to the 2013 All-Star Game in New York on July 16, is that Puig's run has been just that: four weeks of magic during a season that is almost three months old.
According to an espn.com poll, almost two-thirds of baseball fans feel that Puig should be an all-star. But what's to differentiate one great month from a flash in the pan?
How do we know that Puig isn't a Kevin Maas or Bob "Hurricane" Hazle or even the April 2013 John Buck given his limited body of work?
In reference to the latter case, after one month of the 2013 season, one could make the point that Buck deserved to be one of the National League's catchers. The 32-year-old catcher homered nine times and drove in 25 runs in April, actually better production than Puig in June.
But entering July can you really make a convincing argument that someone other than San Francisco's Buster Posey or St. Louis' Yadier Molina should man the position for the Senior Circuit?
Certainly not Buck, who entered yesterday hitting .207 with an anemic .268 on-base percentage and irrelevant 0.3 WAR.
With time, players find their level, and Puig, for all his glory, hasn't put in the time to merit an all-star berth. The game is already flawed in the sense that it over-rewards players based on first-half numbers (when the most important games are played later in the season).
A better representation of the best players would be a combination of end-of-the-previous-season votes plus midseason tallies.
Of course that will never happen, but Puig takes short-term excellence to the extreme.
Fun to watch? Yes. A great story? Yes again. And the Dodgers, given the recent slide of the entire National League West, may ride Puig's coattails to an unlikely postseason berth (despite the fact that they entered yesterday still seven games under .500).
But an all-star? Not yet.
Locally, the all-star representatives are fairly easy to differentiate with at least two from each team, despite pennant races that are slipping away from the Phils and Yanks while the Mets were never in it to begin with.
YANKEES: Mariano Rivera, Robinson Cano. Rivera would make it on sentiment alone in his final season, but with only one blown save in 27 chances and a strong 1.55 ERA, he's earned it. Boston's Dustin Pedroia has a better average and WAR than Cano, but the rising star is Cleveland's Jason Kipnis, who leads all A.L. second basemen in extra-base hits. All three deserve spots with the Angels' Howie Kendrick (.313) a close fourth. Near miss for the Yankees: Hiroki Kuroda.
PHILLIES: Domonic Brown, Cliff Lee. Brown's first-half emergence has largely been overshadowed by the Puig story, but 21 homers and 57 RBIs at the season's midway mark are nothing to sneeze at. Lee entered the weekend fifth in the NL in strikeouts, sixth in WHIP, tied for seventh in wins and eighth in ERA. The thing that could cost Lee a spot is the fact that five of the top 10 winners in the NL are either on the Cardinals or Braves, two first-place teams, and there's no way Lee beats out either the Mets' Matt Harvey or the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw.
METS: David Wright, Matt Harvey. While the Mets have been awful, their two leading players have been excellent, especially Harvey, who on another team might be headed to a 25-win season. Wright ended Friday second in the NL in WAR (ironically, behind only ex-Met Carlos Gomez) while Harvey (132 strikeouts) leads the NL in ERA (2.00).
ODDS AND ENDS: It appears as if this is finally the year the Pirates end their two-decade long run of losing seasons, one that followed going 96-66 and running away with the NL East in 1992. Through Friday the Pirates were in the hunt for baseball's best record, an astounding 19 games over .500 (49-30). ... While we're on the topic of the Pirates and hot rookies, how about pitching sensation Gerrit Cole, who won his fourth consecutive start Friday, against Milwaukee? That's the first Pittsburgh starter to win his first four big-league starts since 1907, or the year before the Cubs last won a World Series. ... Lost in the great duel for A.L. MVP honors between Detroit's Miguel Cabrera and Baltimore's Chris Davis is the great season Toronto's Edwin Encarnacion has been having. Encarnacion already has 23 homers and 66 RBIs for the erratic Blue Jays.

City faces $1.25M budget gap
The city is looking at a $1.25 million budget gap for 2013.
While the number is high, it's half the size of the budget gap the city faced as it received its early budget forecasts for this year.
"While the budget gap is significant, it is not insurmountable," John Ruggini, city finance director, told the Budget and Finance Committee on Tuesday.
However, closing budget gaps becomes more difficult each year one exists because the easier and most obvious options for closing a gap likely already have been implemented, he added.
Ruggini presented the first look at what it would cost to continue existing city services in 2013. He used 10 years of city financial data to forecast next year's budget picture and made the assumption that the national economy continues slow but consistent recovery through 2013 with interest rates remaining flat.» Read Full Article

MMSD approves $500,000 for Wauwatosa private sewer work
The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District's commission on Monday approved paying $500,000 of the cost of lining private sanitary sewer laterals at 135 homes in two Wauwatosa neighborhoods.
The work is being done to reduce leaks of storm water into residential laterals that drain to municipal sanitary sewer mains. Excess storm water during heavy rains can fill sewer mains quickly and cause sewage to backup into basements.
Wauwatosa has offered to pay the full cost of lining the laterals as part of a pilot project. Work will be done this summer along three blocks of N. 65th St., from W. North Ave. to W. Clarke St., and two blocks of Eagle St., between N. 80th St. and Wauwatosa Ave.
More than 85% of property owners in the two east side neighborhoods have agreed to participate in the project, Public Works Director Bill Porter said. If the fix keeps a significant volume of storm water out of the sewer mains, the city might recommend this method to homeowners in other neighborhoods.
Cost of the lateral work is estimated at $1.22 million, or $9,000 for each residence.» Read Full Article

Since Sun's Java 6u12 and Firefox 3.6, the old buggy LiveConnect implementation has been replaced by a more reliable one. So if you do not want to run into weird bugs, you should use at least Firefox 3.6b5 and java 6u17 together with its java plugin2 for Firefox. It can be that older versions work as well, but Gemse has not been tested with them.
If you use Debian Lenny (which is the stable version at the time of writing), you can just install the sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jre, sun-java6-jdk, sun-java6-plugin from Debian unstable or Debian testing, since Debian Lenny already meets all dependencies. Also, it is easy to compile Firefox 3.6, since all required libraries can be found in some Debian package for Debian Lenny.
LiveConnect is a technology that allows you to call Java code from JavaScript and vice versa. It is available in Firefox and Sun's Java plugin since a long time. However it had some critical bugs, like JavaScript not being able to catch exceptions thrown in Java. In Firefox 3.6 and Java 6u12 a new implementation of LiveConnect has been introduced that should fix most of the long standing bugs. This new implementation handles most of the LiveConnect functionality on the Java side.
LiveConnect is supposed to work across many browsers, although most
of them probably don't implement it. Roughly it works like this: You
include in your XHTML page an applet. Let's say, its
attribute is set to
app. Now you can access the instance
of you applet from JavaScript using the global object
app. This object also allows you to access any class, not
only the ones related with your applet. As an effect, you can also use
a dummy applet which is just a subclass of the applet class an
doesn't do anything.
Note that before the new implementation, it was possible to access
Java classes in
java.* via the global JavaScript object
java and any Java class vio the global
Packages. This is no longer posible for various reasons,
you have to use an applet in any case. As an exception, it is still
possible in JavaScript code in or linked from XUL code inside a
Firefox extension (or XULRunner application). Indeed, Gemse makes use
of the global
Sun provides a short specification of LiveConnect.
Unfortunately, it is not enough to know the chrome URL of the java
library files we want to load in addition to the default ones, because
the Java VM does not know about the chrome. As for now, they are not
even in the chrome, but in the folder
java in the
installation directory of the extension or XULRunner application. We
have to find out the absolute path of the folder.
How one is supposed to do that, I don't know. How it is done in
Gemse at the moment you can look up in the source.
The class loader used by Firefox is of course unaware of our own
Java libraries we want to load. (Note that when using LiveConnect via
an applet this should be less a problem, since you can indicate the
sources in the XHTML code for the applet directly.) We have to create
our own class loader. Unfortunately, I don't know of a file
class loader which can be given filenames. There is only a
which works with URLs. Since we do not really want to
write our own class loader, we use an instance of
URLClassLoader. We
have to give its constructor all URLs to load classes from.
First we turn the JavaScript array of strings into a JavaScript
array of Java URLs (
extensionPath is the installation directory of
Gemse as nsIFile):
Create a new instance of
Now, if we want to obtain a class, we have to choose one of the following strategies:
It is possible to use JavaScript's
operator to create an instance of such a class. It is also possible to
access fields and methods of the class directly. For overloaded
methods and contructors, the right one is chosen automatically.
One can not hand over a
java.* of
Packages.* as classes to methods
expecting a class as an argument, since LiveConnect treats them as Java
namespaces and does not convert them to
java.lang.Class. Using
something like
java.lang.String.class in order to obtain
a class object is not possible, since this
is a feature of the Java
language itself,
class is not a field of the class.
java.lang.Class.forName("name.of.class"): Uses the system class
loader to load the class if not already done so. This method returns
an object of type
java.lang.Class. Therefore it can be handed to methods expecting a
class and it is not possible to access fields, methods and constructors
(new operator) of the class directly.
java.lang.Class.forName("name.of.class", true, classLoader) loads
the class using the given classLoader. It returns an instance
java.lang.Class as well.
ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader(). Using the method
loadClass of this class loader has the same effect as using
java.lang.class.forName("name.of.class"). It is unlikely that one wants to
do it that way, but the class ClassLoader has some other static
methods which can be used to retrieve arbitrary files from the class
paths. So, if you want to open a file located in the jar file of your
class, do not use the system class loader as it may be that it does
not know about your jar file.
getClassLoader() of the class. In
order to get the class of an object
obj, you can use the
getClass, so in a non-static method, you
can do something like
But probably you want to name the class explicitely (like
MyClass.class.getClassLoader()) because
getClass could return
a subclass instead of the class in which you implement your
classLoader.loadClass("name.of.class"), which returns an
instance of
It is important to understand that a class loader gives you an
instance of
Therefore it is a Java
object, not a class! Its methods and fields are not the ones
of the class, but the ones defined by
One example is obtaining a RendererFactory of the JOMDoc rendering
The above code indeed calls the method
from the class represented by the object RendererFactory. On the other
RendererFactory.newInstance() does something else,
it uses the default constructor of the represented class and returns
the new object.
There is one more problem you have to be aware of: When you load a
class with a custom class loader, the system class loader probably has
no clue about the class path of the class you load. If this class
loads a resource from its class path (for example a file from the jar
package it is contained in) using the system class loader, it will
fail. For example
org.omdoc.jomdoc.ntn.coll.ntn.B loads
the notations bundled with JOMDoc. At the time of writing, it does
that via the system class loader and therefore fails
(JOMDoc Bug #603). If it used the
class loader it has been loaded with, it would work. In java, the
class loader that has been used to load a class
MyClass can be obtained by
According to my experiments, files in the path of the URL class loader can be accessed. In theory, this means JOMDoc should be able to load the notations bundled with it right away. But it seems that some of the libraries used by JOMDoc (namely Saxon) need additonal rights. Also, if JOMDoc can access all files, then it can be used to load additional notations using all its collection strategies. So, as a temporary solution, we give the loaded Java libraries full privileges. This could be done by writing our own class loader or our own policy. I chose to write my own policy.
There is already an implementation of such a policy by SIMILE (jar without source, source). Unfortunately, there server does not respond. Many projects contain it as library, but without source. I was able to locate a copy via Google code search. The policy used in Gemse is based on SIMILE's policy.
We have to implement a class extending
For a
(which mainly contains the URL the code originates from) it
has to return a list of permissions. Before a piece of code is run,
the security management first asks the policy which permissions should
be granted to this code. At any time, there is only one policy in
effect. If we want to change it, we have to register our new Policy.
Our policy works like this: It has a list of
URLs and a set of permissions. If the code in questions comes from an
URL in the list, then it receives all permissions of the set. If it is
not, then we ask the policy that was used before we registered our own
one and return its answer. The implementation of our policy
(inspired by SIMILE's implementation) roughly
looks like this:
urls = new HashSet
(); // Or should we use HashSet ? public PermissionCollection getPermissions(CodeSource codesource) { PermissionCollection pc = outerPolicy != null ? outerPolicy.getPermissions(codesource) : new Permissions(); URL url = codesource.getLocation(); if (url != null) { String s = url.toExternalForm(); if (urls.contains(s) || "file:".equals(s)) { Enumeration e = permissions.elements(); while (e.hasMoreElements()) { pc.add(e.nextElement()); } } } return pc; } public void setOuterPolicy(Policy policy) { outerPolicy = policy; } public void addPermission(Permission permission) { permissions.add(permission); } public void addURL(URL url) { urls.add(url.toExternalForm()); } }]]>
When you have an instance of
using the static methods, fields and constructors of the class is a little
cumbersome. Let
c be such an instance.
Calling the default constructor, which has no arguments, is done by
newInstance(). If you want to use another
constructor, use the method
getConstructor, it expects an
array of classes, indicating the types of the values you want to pass.
An object of type
is returned. The constructor can then be called by invoking its
newInstance method:
For methods it is similar. Use
getMethod to obtain an
instance of
and then call its
invoke. Note that
invoke expects the object
you want to call the method on as first argument. Since you want to
call the method on the class, not on a perticular object, pass
null as first argument.
javaClasses.someClass.getMethod("foo", [javaClasses.BarClass]).invoke(null,[instanceOfBarClass]);
Finally, getting or setting fields is done using
getField, whose only argument is the name of the field as
string. It returns an instance of
Working with Java objects is as easy as it can be. You can use fields and call methods just as they were JavaScript objects. LiveConnect even does conversion of datatypes, which allows you to pass JavaScript Strings or even Arrays to Java methods. Furthermore, LiveConnect handles overloaded Java methods transparently. However, you still have to keep in mind that JavaScript is a loosely typed language and Java is heavily typed.
In the NTNView we have to recreate the equation using XOM, since the renderer of JOMDoc expects a XOM node. An example:

product works great, I keep remote hidden in pocket and she thinks its my voice now that is correcting her not the collar. another tip i have also picked up is letting your dog get used to the collar for a day b4 starting using it, then you wont need to keep the collar on all the time, they wont associate needing to be good with collar on neck. i love this product, accept when im moving the colar from one dog to the other, while its on and in my hand, i somehow always manage to zap myself.

RE: What planes faster...?
Hi Erling,
I would agree, with a 7.5 m2 rig your wife might get a smaller board going at less windspeed due to her light weight now that she has skills.
I can't say whick would be better the GO 139 or the Carve 145, but does she want to sail in more wind, or just be the earliest planing woman on the water.
If she wants early planing, then the GO 139 would be a good choice.
If she wants a bit more higher wind range, then I think a Carve 122 (or perhaps the 133) would be a better choice and not really affect her early planing, on a 7.5 m2 rig as much as you might think.
What windspeed does she get planing, on the 7.5 m2 now?
Hope this helps,

"Private Practice" creator Shonda Rhimes is a notorious spoiler-phobe, but with a busload of reporters visiting the set Tuesday, she did let loose with a little bit of scoop on the upcoming season.
"Grey's Anatomy" star Chandra Wilson will cross over to "Private Practice" in the season's third episode, Rhimes said during the set visit. Miranda Bailey will travel to L.A. to visit her former colleague Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh) and perform a "very interesting" medical procedure, Rhimes says.
Bailey being Bailey, she'll also not be shy about sharing her opinions about the goings-on at Oceanside Wellness, Rhimes adds.
Wilson won't be the only familiar face popping up on "Private Practice" early in the season. ABC also confirms that "Party Down" star Ken Marino (who was on set Tuesday, clad in a hospital gown) and former "ER" actress Kellie Martin will also guest in the first batch of episodes.
The crossover will continue the relatively free movement of characters between "Grey's" and its spinoff. Walsh has appeared on several episodes of "Grey's Anatomy" the past couple seasons, and last spring Patrick Dempsey's Derek Shepherd guested on "Practice."
The new season will pick up only a few minutes after last season's finale, which ended with off-her-meds patient Katie (Amanda Foreman) injecting Violet (Amy Brenneman) with a paralyzing drug and about to steal her baby. The season premiere will deal with the immediate aftermath, while episode two will jump ahead a few weeks, Brenneman says.

Poppy Tooker is unquestionably on the short list of locals you'd call if you were a national cable-TV network in need of a New Orleans gumbo expert.
A native, cooking teacher and leader of the local chapter of the Slow Food movement -- an international organization devoted to the preservation of victuals that can't be obtained via drive-thru -- Tooker can fire up a righteous roux.
So it was no surprise when the Food Network called to pitch her on participating in a gumbo-themed episode of something called "America Eats."
Because she'd already appeared on another network's series with a striking similar title the pitch call immediately sounded iffy to Tooker.
"They said that the format of the show was that they were going from city to city finding the iconic food of each city and profiling the person who was best known for that iconic food," she said. "Which I didn't buy and I told them that."
Tooker played along anyway. A preliminary segment was shot at the cooking school where she teaches, and everything went fine.
But then she was asked to organize a backyard gumbo party for the crew to shoot, and red flags waived again.
As has been derisively celebrated for almost a year, we don't do gumbo parties. That synthetic ritual was an erroneous invention of the Fox cop drama "K-Ville."
Still playing along but growing more suspicious, Tooker invited a group of friends to the shoot.
Shortly after the invites when out, Tooker heard from foodie pal Dale Curry, former Times-Picayune food editor and now food columnist for New Orleans Magazine, who'd been invited separately to the affair by the network.
"I said, it's really fishy," Tooker said. "And these people have no idea what a village they're coming to film in."
The day of the gumbo party came.
"I was just starting to make gumbo with everyone there assembled, and all of a sudden I feel somebody standing next to me, and it's Bobby Flay," Tooker said.
New Yorker Flay, a celebrity chef-restaurateur and Food Channel and "Iron Chef" mainstay, was not, as far as Tooker knew, on the gumbo party invite list.
"I must admit I wasn't entirely on my most stellar behavior," Tooker said. "And I said, 'Bobby Flay!' and I looked at the director and said, 'I guess I got punked by the Food Network.'
"I said to the director, 'Tell me now what's going to happen next. Is the back door going to fly open and (Food Network personality) Paula Deen ... is going to come through?'
"Bobby looks at me and says, 'Actually, Poppy, I heard you make a really great gumbo, and I was wondering, 'Are you ready for a throw-down?'"
Tooker had indeed been semi-punked by the Food Network, though the "reveal" didn't pack as much TV sizzle as it could have.
"I had never seen the show," said Tooker, of "Throwdown with Bobby Flay." "The basic premise is they find some person who is well known for a certain dish and then Bobby ... develops a recipe that he is going to use in essence in a contest with the person, and then they ambush the person.
"I'll tell you something else that's extremely indicative of the basic obsession here (about) all things New Orleans and not things like the Food Network. I would say that out of the 40 people there, maybe 10 or less recognized him or knew who he was.
"I've (since) seen other 'Throwdown' episodes and the people practically genuflect when he comes out. 'It's the great Bobby Flay!' That's' New Orleans for you."
The gumbo-off between the stranger from New York and Tooker proceeded (with Curry as one of the judges), the result of which airs at 8 p.m. Tuesday (July 15), so read no further if you fear "Throwdown" spoilers.
Tooker reports that Flay made his roux using butter, and then included in his gumbo Maryland lump crab, honey and carrots.
"It wasn't gumbo," Tooker said. "It was a lovely seafood soup and I told him that. He said, 'Well, what do you think?' I said, 'I think it is very lovely and that it is exactly the gumbo I would expect to be served at a very fine expensive restaurant not in New Orleans.'"
Despite the weasel-y way she was recruited to participate, Tooker said the episode (of which she's seen an advance copy) ultimately delivers a positive message about New Orleans.
Among the extra footage used are scenes of Leah Chase's famous Holy Thursday gumbo z'herbes feast.
And, said Tooker said of the episode, "They were kind to me. I have seen horrible things done to people in the episodes I've seen since. They have them make humiliating faux commercials for a show that they believe is going to be their show on the Food Network. I mean, really.
"The message they allowed me to get across is that we are open for business and we are looking for our visitors. It's really sort of a little New Orleans travel piece and it comes out good for us all, and that's what counts in the end."
