Falcons left tackle Sam Baker was carted off the field during Saturday night's preseason game against the Texans.
From the way things looked and sounded, it seems like Baker may have suffered a serious knee injury.
Baker, who's battled injuries since being taking in the first round of the 2008 draft, was emotional as he took off his helmet and was tended to by the trainers. It was announced as a "knee" injury and that he would not return to the game.
Teammates took off their helmets and watched intensely as the team doctor and athletic trainers tended to Baker. After a few minutes and a stop of play, Baker tentatively rose to his feet and didn't put his full weight on his right leg as he got on the cart.
It looks like rookie Jake Matthews will have to move to left tackle.

Request-response pair exported from F12 tool in IE11 showing headers used
User Agent: HTML5
Steps to reproduce:
I clicked the Search tab on this Bugzilla, selected "all" and entered "internet explorer" to the search field, then pressed enter to search this Bugzilla for all bugs related to Internet Explorer 11.
Actual results:
Bugzilla sent the results back to IE11, which offered to save it to a file named buglist. Examining the HTTP traffic shows that Bugzilla was using multipart/x-mixed-replace as a Content-Type, which isn't part of HTML5 and doesn't appear to be standardized anywhere at all.
Expected results:
Bugzilla should have sent the results back using regular HTML5. If asynchronously loaded results are needed for better user experience Bugzilla should have used Server-Sent Events with AJAX fallback for browsers where S-SE are not available.
Using F12 Developer Tools to use a custom user-agent like "HTML5" instead of the default "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko" and everything else being the same leads to the search working correctly.
Created attachment 786988 [details]
Search results received by IE11
Bugzilla uses HTML 4.01 Transitional, not HTML5, and so doesn't use Server-Sent Events which is part of HTML5. And per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-sent_events, Internet Explorer doesn't support this technology anyway.
IE11 gets multipart/x-mixed-replace because its UserAgent string doesn't follow older versions of IE, i.e. both "MSIE" and "compatible" are gone. This breaks our detection of the browser.
Also note that if IE11 UserAgent string contains "like Gecko", then IE11 should work like Gecko, i.e. support the server-push technology. As suggested on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/bg182625%28v=vs.85%29.aspx, we should look for "Trident" to detect IE.

Trident is present in the UserAgent string since IE8.

Review of attachment 787053 [details] [diff] [review]:
We were just discussing this on IRC, the reasoning for putting this on the 4.2 and 4.0 branches also is because these branches will still be supported when IE11 releases, and major browser compatibility issues are a big deal.

Stay Ahead of the Wave
The internet changes constantly. What worked last year can sink your project like a stone this year. Styles and functions change, new tools and services appear and old ones vanish, the search engines change their preferences and ranking policies and do their best to keep these changes a trade secret, and your website visitors change their expectations and behaviors.
Your problem as a website owner is to stay informed of these changes, and ideally to position yourself ahead of them, so that the changing waves of internet traffic push your project forward, instead of sinking it.
I have been building websites and web presences since 1989. I have been through internet changes so massive that over 90% of the website businesses active at the time went under in months. I can help you stay ahead of the wave.

This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word Health
Princeton's WordNet
health, wellness(noun)
a healthy state of wellbeing free from disease
"physicians should be held responsible for the health of their patients"
the general condition of body and mind
"his delicate health"; "in poor health"
The state of being free from physical or psychological disease, illness, or malfunction; wellness.
A state of well-being or balance, often physical but sometimes also mental and social; the overall level of function of an organism from the cellular (micro) level to the social (macro) level.
Physical condition.

A toast to prosperity.
Webster Dictionary
the state of being hale, sound, or whole, in body, mind, or soul; especially, the state of being free from physical disease or pain
a wish of health and happiness, as in pledging a person in a toast
Origin: [OE. helthe, AS. hl, fr. hl hale, sound, whole. See Whole.]
Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living being. In humans, it is the general condition of a person's mind and body, usually meaning to be free from illness, injury or pain. The World Health Organization defined health in its broader sense in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Although this definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete," it remains the most enduring. Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction. Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health and the International Classification of Diseases, are commonly used to define and measure the components of health. Systematic activities to prevent or cure health problems and promote good health in humans are undertaken by health care providers. Applications with regard to animal health are covered by the veterinary sciences. The term "healthy" is also widely used in the context of many types of non-living organizations and their impacts for the benefit of humans, such as in the sense of healthy communities, healthy cities or healthy environments. In addition to health care interventions and a person's surroundings, a number of other factors are known to influence the health status of individuals, including their background, lifestyle, and economic and social conditions; these are referred to as "determinants of health."
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
helth, n. wholeness or soundness of body: general state of the body, as in 'ill health,' 'good health,' soundness and vigour of mind: a toast, as 'to drink one's health'—to drink to the health of: (B.) salvation, or divine favour.—adj. Health′ful, full of or enjoying health: indicating health: wholesome: salutary.—adv. Health′fully.—n. Health′fulness.—adv. Health′ily.—n. Health′iness.—adj. Health′less, sickly, ailing.—ns. Health′lessness; Health′-resort′, a place to which people go for the good of their health.—adjs. Health′some (Shak.), healthy, wholesome; Health′y, in a state of good health: conducive to health: sound in body or mind: vigorous. [A.S. hælth—hál, whole.]
U.S. National Library of Medicine
The state of the organism when it functions optimally without evidence of disease.
Editors Contribution
A state of complete physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social well-being of a person.
The health of a person is a vital part of their life as it affects every aspect of their life experience on the planet.

Should you buy these stocks too?
What would it take to make you feel wealthy?
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Thanks to a confluence of events, prices for corn, soybeans and
wheat have been surging recently. And that has set agricultural
equipment stocks afire. Shares of irrigation equipment maker
Lindsay Manufacturing (
have surged more than +10% since last Thursday, while
Deere (
has made a similar move since last Monday. The same can be said for
many other sector names, a number of which now sport
price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios that are starting to get frothy.
It may be too late to make a quick hit on this farm belt trade, but
another sector has suddenly become very attractive simply because
these commodities are seeing a surge in prices. I'm talking about
the major producers of chicken, beef and pork. Their costs just
went up, and their shares just went down. Yet viewed in the context
of traditional long-term
power, these stocks are suddenly quite cheap.
To fatten up livestock, farmers buy up massive amounts of corn and
soybeans, which often account for a big chunk of operating
expenses. But these "protein" producers have little control over
revenue, even as their expenses rise and fall. The supply of
animals on the market controls pricing, which is dictated by supply
and demand on global markets. So with expenses rising and those
costs unable to pass through, profit forecasts are falling.
For example, back in July analysts thought poultry producer
Sanderson Farms (Nasdaq: SAFM)
would earn $6 a share next year. Now they think profits will be at
least 20% below that view.
But Sanderson's profit forecasts are dropping for another reason as
well: the nation's production of chicken and other poultry is set
to rise +3% next year, according to the U.S.D.A. And rising
supplies usually means falling prices in this industry. Yet that's
not the case for beef and pork, as those producers have shown a
great deal of discipline by culling herds. Fewer hogs and cattle
coming to market next year mean that prices should rise, according
to the USDA's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates
(WASDE) surveys. By this time next year, global beef production
should be -4% lower. (Pork production is slumping now, but is
expected to rebound by the second half of 2011.)
So if expenses are rising for all protein producers but the revenue
pictures are diverging, investors need to be selective. Smithfield
Foods, which focuses solely on the pork market, is looking
increasingly attractive, as the company should benefit from surging
pork prices. Goldman Sachs expects hog prices to rise +25% to +30%
next year, which should be more than enough to offset rising feed
costs. If feed costs pull back to historical levels, then earnings
could really take off. After a recent pullback, shares of
Smithfield Foods trade for less than 10 times projected 2011
A long-term shot at poultry
Even as poultry producers are struggling from near-term expense
hikes, their shares are setting up for a long-term buy. That's
because these stocks tend to rise and fall in conjunction with
earnings forecasts. Those forecasts have been cut lately, and
shares of Sanderson,
Tyson (
Pilgrim's Pride (
now trade closer to their 52-week low than their 52-week high. Yet
estimates should soon hit a bottom -- and so should share prices.
Looking into 2011, other factors are conspiring to take profit
forecasts back up. For example, poultry exports to China and Russia
are finally starting to rebound after recent embargoes were lifted.
And poultry producers have a much greater ability than pork and
beef producers to alter industry supply dynamics, as it takes much
longer to fatten a hog or cow. As a result, poultry production is
likely to peak in the first half of 2011 and start dropping from
there as farmers realize lower prices and move to bring supply back
in line with demand.
Shares of the major poultry producers are trading for around eight
times next year's downwardly revised 2011 profit forecasts. An
expansion of the multiple to around 10, coupled with an
eventualuptick in forecasts, should set the stage for meaningful
upside -- once this current round of rising feed costs have been
cycled through to the investment community.
Action to Take -->
Smithfield's pork focus makes its shares attractive right now.
Investors need to show more finesse with the poultry stocks,
however. Wait until quarterly results are out and lagging analysts
finally reduce their estimates. Once that happens, forward
estimates are likely to find a floor -- as are share prices. As
estimates start to rebound in ensuing months, shares are likely to
rebound at an even more robust clip as the
multiple expands.

Outlook So it is D-day for the banks, from whom an enormous weight could be lifted this morning, if the Supreme Court rules that the Office of Fair Trading has been exceeding its powers by investigating their unauthorised borrowing charges. At a stroke, such a ruling would end the campaign, lead by The Independent, for compensation for millions of people overcharged since 2001.
What's more likely, however, is that the Supreme Court will uphold the judgements of two previous hearings in lower courts, both of which ruled that the OFT is well within its rights to look at whether the charges banks have levied when people exceed overdraft limits or bounce cheques broke the law. Since the OFT has been quietly continuing its investigation while waiting for this final ruling today, that could mean a verdict from the regulator within just a few weeks.
That verdict will no doubt be appealed too, but assuming today's ruling goes in consumers' favour, the banks will eventually have to accept they were wrong to levy the charges they did. It's a very basic bit of law that charges of this sort, levied if a customer breaches a contract, should only cover a company's costs and not be set at levels designed to produce profits. No bank is going to be able to show that it incurred a cost of £35 each time a customer went over their agreed overdraft limit.
Don't think, however, that the banking industry will just swallow this bitter pill. The OFT reckons banks were making £2.6bn a year from these charges before the scandal blew up in 2006. In the credit card industry, where the same row was settled much more quickly two years ago, the OFT has said lenders should not charge unauthorised borrowing fees of more than £12. Were that model to be applied to the banks, they would be giving up around £1.7bn of annual revenue (while simultaneously facing a separate demand for compensation from millions of overcharged customers).
Some of the more dramatic claims there have been about this affair spelling the end to free banking are wide of the mark. It's difficult to imagine Britons being prepared to pay US-style fees for cash withdrawals or standing orders, say. That would be to turn back time.
Still, you can expect to see more and more current accounts that come with monthly charges – and ever greater effort from the banks to move us all into these products and services.
Indeed, that trend is already well under way. Personal finance specialist Moneynet says that of 82 current accounts now available in Britain, 37 (or 45 per cent) charge a fee. That compares to 24 out of 72 accounts (33 per cent) three years ago. Banks haven't simply been slapping charges on existing products, but launching new current account services that come with a fee justified by bells and whistles attached to the deal – free travel insurance, say, or the offer of more attractive interest rates on savings products.
Moneynet points out that with 54 million active current accounts in the UK, charging a monthly fee of £2.50 on each one would enable the banks to recoup almost all of their lost £1.7bn of unauthorised borrowing fee revenue. That's not going to happen overnight, but were the banks to shift, say, a quarter of current account customers to products with a £5 monthly fee, the industry would be halfway towards funding the shortfall.
Expect other gimmicks too. Some banks have already warned they will charge customers who don't use their accounts regularly, or fail to put more than a minimum amount through the account each month. Others, such as Santander, are promising to maintain free banking for customers who also have a mortgage with them (though there's nothing to stop them charging just a fraction extra for lending).
Moreover, new fees aren't the only way for the banks to turn an extra coin or two. Existing charges can also be raised. The consumer group Which? pointed out earlier this week that the cost of authorised overdrafts has increased significantly this year, with many banks raising the interest rates they charge on such borrowing, despite the fact that the Bank of England's base rate has fallen so dramatically. Mortgage rates also seem to be rising too.
To put all this another way, it won't be the banks that suffer following a crackdown on borrowing charges, but their customers – including many who never paid the unfair fees because they always stayed in credit, or at least within their agreed overdraft limits.
A business model that saw customers who broke the rules illegally charged in order to subsidise those who didn't is obviously wrong, but that may be no consolation to customers in the latter group.Reuse content

Americans for Financial Reform
Nous recrutons!
À propos
Americans for Financial Reform is a coalition of more than 250 national, state and local consumer, labor, investor, civil rights, community, small business, and senior citizen organizations that have come together to spearhead a campaign for real reform. Together, we are fighting for a banking and financial system based on accountability, fairness and security. The reckless and greedy behavior of big Wall Street banks caused a financial crisis that is costing us millions of jobs, billions of dollars in taxpayer funded bailouts, and trillions of dollars in lost homes and lost savings. We cannot afford to let this behavior continue.

CPT-11 is a highly effective, camptothecin-based anticancer agent that is currently approved for the treatment of colon cancer. This compound is a prodrug and is activated by carboxylesterases to yield SN-38, a potent topoisomerase I poison. The dose limiting toxicity for CPT-11 is delayed diarrhea that occurs 48-96 hours following administration. This is thought to arise, in part, from direct activation of CPT-11, that is secreted in the bile, by a human intestinal carboxylesterase (CE) that is highly expressed in the small intestine. We hypothesize that by inhibiting this enzyme, reduced SN-38 will be produced from drug hydrolysis in the gut, thereby reducing the toxicity associated with CPT-11 treatment. The goals of this application are therefore to develop selective CE inhibitors that can be used to ameliorate the toxicity associated with CPT-11 administration. Highly potent, non-toxic small molecule inhibitors based upon the prototypical compound benzil have been identified, and we propose to develop these agents for use in inhibition of the human intestinal CE (hiCE). NMR, x-ray crystallography, medicinal chemistry, QSAR, biochemical and in vivo approaches will all be employed to validate the efficacy of suitable compounds The specific aims of this application are: 1) to determine the mechanism of CE inhibition by benzil;2) to develop water-soluble analogues of benzil;3) to assess the biochemical and biological properties of these compounds;and 4) assess their efficacy at modulating CPT-11-induced toxicity in a plasma esterase-deficient mouse model where hiCE is expressed in the mouse intestine. We believe that, if successful, these studies will provide reagents that can ameliorate the delayed diarrhea associated with CPT-11 administration, and potentially allow dose intensification of the drug. This would likely result in improved antitumor efficacy and furthermore, may also allow use of this CPT-11 against more resistant malignancies that demonstrate marginal response to this agent.
These studies will identify and characterize novel drugs that can reduce the toxicity associated with CPT-11 treatment. Since this chemotherapeutic agent is widely used for cancer therapy, any approaches that reduce the side-effects of this drug will be highly desirable. We propose to develop such compounds that should have applicability to a wide variety of malignancies.

Many of you have probably gotten the current SIGNA pages now, with an
emphasis on water irises. It prompted some musings about Iris versicolor.
I've bloomed two batches of seed now (from SIGNA) of biversatas ((ensata x
versicolor) x versicolor). All have been virtually identical to
versicolors. I've only seen pictures of versatas (ensata x versicolor),
but they do appear to be intermediate between the two species. I wonder if
the biversatas have any ensata genetic material left at all--could the
large number of versicolor chromosomes simply overwhelm or eliminate it?
Sharon, as our chromosome expert, I'd appreciate your take on this.
The biversatas produce bee-pollinated seed as readily as pure versicolor.
Now blooming is a sibcolor seedling (siberica x versicolor), which does
seem intermediate. The plant has versicolor-like foliage and the
bloomstalk has a single long branch. The flower is almost perfectly
intermediate but with a very sibirica-like bronzy throat in the falls that
is never seen in versicolor (at least never seen by me).
In two years I should be seeing bloom on a fair number of versilaevs--and
am wondering if anyone is intercrossing these various versicolor
Has anyone seen any pseudacorus x versicolor hybrids?

Henry Vilas wrote:The Stewardship Fund is being shortchanged and the DNR will be selling off land, but money for a gun range is in the budget.
But how does that make you feel?
Henry Vilas wrote:The Stewardship Fund is being shortchanged and the DNR will be selling off land, but money for a gun range is in the budget.
The vote Thursday night was 6-2 against the mine, which has been proposed on land just a couple of miles east of the Iowa border on the Wisconsin River. In an earlier memo, somemembers of the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway Board called a frac sand mine a bad idea but added that a "loophole" in state law might require the board to approve the permit.
"The members felt that visual intrusions from potential dust and lighting would cause the activity to become visible from the river," said Mark Cupp, executive director of the board.
Pattison Sand said it was disappointed with the board's decision.
The company said it would still mine on the land outside of the protected area.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration proposed long-awaited rules on Friday to limit crystalline silica, a move it said would prevent nearly 700 deaths a year by reducing exposure to these very small particles that can cause lung cancer and other diseases....
Crystalline silica — tiny particles no more than one-hundredth the size of grains of sand — is created during work with stone, concrete, brick or mortar. It can occur during sawing, grinding and drilling and is common in glass manufacturing and sand blasting. One government study found that many workers in hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, were exposed to 10 times the permissible level of silica.
A $500,000 sportsmen's grant slipped into the state budget earlier this summer is set to go to a group with ties to Republican insiders that has praised GOP politicians and lobbied for legislation such as lowering regulations on iron mining and development in wetlands.
The United Sportsmen of Wisconsin Foundation Inc., a group formed in January with no record of its own in outdoors training, is the only applicant for the scantly noticed two-year grant to promote hunting, fishing and trapping in Wisconsin that is being reviewed Thursday by a special panel.
If the grant is approved, the state could end up paying it every two years to United Sportsmen, which has said in its application that it would use most of the money to pay its staff and consultants.
The carefully crafted grant requirements were unanimously voted into the state budget in May after just seven minutes of discussion by the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee, which acted on a motion drafted by outgoing Assembly Majority Leader Scott Suder (R-Abbotsford) and Rep. Dan LeMahieu (R-Cascade).
United Sportsmen has ties to several Suder allies, including his donors, lobbyists, a former lawmaker who worked on major concealed-carry legislation, and his former chief of staff.
The ties between Suder and United Sportsmen are making one budget committee member rethink his vote in favor of the grant. Rep. Cory Mason (D-Racine) said he thought it would be more competitive and that other groups could more easily apply for it.
"In hindsight, it seems like a sweetheart deal for one group that has ties to Scott Suder," Mason said. "That was not how it was described."
The application also required a state group to "have a relationship with a nationally recognized organization that provides proven and successful firearms safety education" and can use that relationship to host shooting events. In addition, the group is required to work with a "nationally recognized shooting expert."
For United Sportsmen, that group is the National Rifle Association and the shooting expert is Darren LaSorte, a former longtime Washington lobbyist for the NRA. LaSorte, who until last year was a registered lobbyist in Wisconsin, worked closely with GOP lawmakers such as Suder and Galloway on gun rights legislation such as the concealed-carry law. LaSorte is now based in Texas and works for Ackerman McQueen, an advertising and public affairs firm whose clients include the NRA.
wack wack wrote:Come on Henry, you left out the best part!"In hindsight, it seems like a sweetheart deal for one group that has ties to Scott Suder," Mason said. "That was not how it was described."
After the Sporting Heritage Committee meets next week, it will be disbanded, said the DNR's Paul Heinen. If conditions such as the matching funds are met, the grant will be paid in perpetuity, he said.
other i wrote:It's a side issue but doesn't the whole "let's get the kids huntin' and shootin'" thing reeka bit of social engineering?
...the only applicant for the scantly noticed two-year grant to promote hunting, fishing and trapping in Wisconsin...
Wow, what a coinky-dink![Suder] wasn't aware that United Sportsmen would include his former chief of staff, Luke Hilgemann, in the application as one of its educators.
Hilgemann recently left his job overseeing and lobbying for the Wisconsin chapter of Americans for Prosperity to take a job in Washington as the No. 2 executive for the group favoring conservative economic policies.
They are just going to be middlemen who scarf up most of the money and pass along some crumbs to people who do the real work.The United Sportsmen of Wisconsin Foundation Inc., a group formed in January with no record of its own in outdoors training,
If United Sportsmen receives the grant, Pantzlaff said the group plans to hire full- and part-time staff. He said it also would partner with existing groups and utilize existing facilities to run its programs as efficiently as possible.
Themis is the Koch Brother's magical vote munching machine. It's a data mining operation.
The Themis machine was able to get the United Sportsmen of Wisconsin to identify Democratic voters, send them letters saying here's where you mail in your ballot, and here's the deadline. The address was a phony, it was their own, and the date was after the legal date for submitting an absentee ballot. So, either way, you were fucked like a duck. The Sportsmen basically were hunting Democrats.
snoqueen wrote:Some clarification is needed as to whether this refers to just the so called sportsmen's money, or the whole budget, or what.
The Joint Finance Committee approved the grant in a quick 16-0 vote in its final action of the day on May 29 — just one routine vote among many in its weeks of grinding work on the budget. Once the committee adds an item to the budget, it can be difficult to pull out.

I walk with a swagger most don't have,
I talk with the sincerity some wish to have.
My words are honest and to the point,
My expectations are great and yet don't disappoint.
Life has molded me from nothing,
And yet from it expect everything.
My voice demands attention,
My eyes see through any deception.
My mind is a riddle none can solve,
My spirit something that will never dissolve.
The world is but my playground,
From being the rabbit I have become the hound.

Who can blame Chloe Lattanzi for trying to get in the pop music game? After all, her mom is none other than Olivia Newton-John who got us "Physical" in the early '80s and thanks to her iconic role as Sandy in 1978's "Grease," is basically a cultural icon.
Lattanzi, 25, is a bit more — how should we put this? — creative than mom. In her debut video for the single "Play with Me," the aspiring singer writhes around in a tub with electrical appliances while a somewhat catatonic dude sits on the toilet beside her, reading a newspaper and — we can only assume — conducting some business. She also sports some special effects make-up on one arm and pals around with chicks who seem to have OD'd on coke.
According to a press release, Lattanzi came up with the idea for the video herself while watching an "avante garde horror film."
"The concept is actually quite dark, but not literal in meaning," says Lattanzi. "It's about dying inside in front of the one you love, and that person not noticing what's really going on inside you — being unseen, unheard, and desperate for love and attention."
We could not agree more with the notion that Chloe Lattanzi is desperate for attention. Expect a full-length album's worth of "pay attention to me" later this year.
P.S. While the video doesn't show anything explicit, it does have some violent scenes — cheezy though they may be — that you may not want to watch at work or with your elementary school-aged children.

BOSTON -- Starting with a visit from the Indiana Pacers earlier this month, Boston Celtics point guards Rajon Rondo and Phil Pressey have been sporting double white wristbands as part of their in-game attire. Some have wondered if it was a tribute to Celtics legend Dennis Johnson and his signature look.
Pressey smiled wide when the comparison was mentioned, but said the story behind the look isn't that interesting. Rondo and Pressey, locker neighbors inside TD Garden, spotted a teammate wearing a white wristband before a recent game and the idea was hatched to go with the throwback look. They've even tried to goad some other teammates into joining them (without success thus far).
It's hard to argue with the results. Since debuting the look, Rondo is averaging 14.3 points, 11.3 assists, and 5.3 rebounds, 2 steals over 36 minutes per game. Pressey's line isn't as glossy -- 1.8 points, 4 assists, 1.3 steals per game -- but his 4:1 assist-to-turnover ratio is a big reason why he's maintained quality minutes in Boston's backcourt.
Rondo's on-court look has always been a subject of fan interest, most notably his headband that was a staple of his early playing days but makes only cameos lately.
Maybe Rondo and Pressey can spark a league-wide wristband revival. Hey, it's better than the short shorts.

Meeting the Mandate for Biofuels: Implications for Land Use, Food and Fuel Prices
Biofuel production is being promoted through various policies such as mandates and tax credits. This paper uses a dynamic, spatial, multi-market equilibrium model, Biofuel and Environmental Policy Analysis Model (BEPAM), to estimate the effects of these policies on cropland allocation, food and fuel prices, and the mix of biofuels from corn and cellulosic feedstocks over the 2007-2022 period. We find that the biofuel mandate will increase corn price by 24%, reduce the price of gasoline by 8% in 2022, and increase social welfare by $122 B (0.7%) relative to Business As Usual scenario. The provision of volumetric tax credits that accompany the mandate significantly changes the mix of biofuels produced in favor of cellulosic biofuels and reduces the share of corn ethanol in the cumulative volume of biofuels produced from 50% to 10%. The tax credits reduce the adverse impact of the mandate alone on crop prices and decrease the price of biofuels. However, they impose a welfare cost of $79 B compared to the mandate alone. These results are found to be sensitive to the rate of growth of crop productivity, the costs of production of bioenergy crops, and the availability of marginal land for producing bioenergy crops.

Jasper Engines & Transmissions Launches New Oregon Branch
The company's new facility in Portland has capacity for up to 500 units, including gas and diesel engines, transmissions, and differentials.
An effective safety training program for students usually accomplishes a number of goals. It covers all of the key school bus rules while keeping the kids engaged and getting them excited about riding the bus properly. It instills in them a respect for their driver. And most importantly, it trains kids to remember the rules while riding the bus. How you go about achieving these goals, however, is up to you. Some operators conduct question-and-answer sessions in the classroom, others take the kids out to the bus for evacuation drills and hands-on training. There are a number of innovative activities that can be included in a safety training program. And with so many options, you can pick and choose the activities you include and customize a program that will best suit the needs of your riders. The following are some proven activities used by operators across the country. 1. Build upon a video
Quite a few entertaining, instructional videos are available that cover the basics on riding a bus: how to board, how to get off, how to cross the road, discipline on the bus and more. These videos provide a good foundation upon which to build a presentation. Flemington-Raritan (N.J.) School District uses four different videos to teach safety to kindergarten through third-graders and reinforces the messages from the videos via interactive time with the kids. "We always show a film, do an oral review and give a handout, and the whole presentation is always tied to the video. The least of our problems is getting the kids' interest," says Linda Yenzer, supervisor of transportation for Flemington-Raritan. Kindergartners watch "Pooh's Great School Bus Adventure," produced by Disney. The instructor starts the presentation with an attention-grabbing prop - a three-foot carrot. The curious kids are then told to watch for three things in the video: What goes out the window? Who do you look to see? What does the carrot have to do with school bus safety? After playing the video, the instructor asks the questions again so the kids can answer based on what they saw. The students immediately know what went out the window - a feather. The instructor then reinforces the first lesson in the video, which is "no body parts out the window." The class repeats the rule a few times. The students are also quick to answer the second question, knowing from the video that it is the driver they should look to see. And the kids always know what happened to Rabbit's carrot - he dropped it and it rolled under the bus' front wheel. Owl's advice to Rabbit was, "Never, ever go back," and in this way the kids remember they should never go back into the danger zone. "When the students are in first grade and they see one of the safety instructors walking down the hall with a carrot, they know exactly what it means. It's absolutely fascinating," Yenzer says. 2. Put on a variety show
Last year, the Springfield, Ohio, manufacturing facility for International Truck and Engine Corp. partnered with a ventriloquist and magician to put together "International School Bus Safety Stars," an educational variety show for kids. The puppet and magic show is a 40-minute program for first- through third-graders, with a simplified version for kindergartners and preschoolers. It includes a quiz show, magic tricks, sing-along songs and plays on classic nursery rhymes. "As of this summer, we have reached nearly 14,000 children with important school bus safety messages," says Kyle Rose, communications manager for the Springfield facility. A variety show is a great way to dazzle students and make the learning process an exciting one. 3. Give a guided bus tour
Although many districts conduct bus evacuation drills throughout the year, it is a good idea to include some actual practice time inside the bus during a safety program. Students can see for themselves where the emergency features and danger zones of the bus are. Richard Adams, a driver and instructor for Seminole County (Fla.) Public Schools, takes students onto the bus at the end of his safety presentation. He shows students the bus' features and how to properly ride the bus. He also conducts an evacuation out the front door. Drivers from Johnson School Bus Service in Campbellsport, Wis., also take the kids for a bus ride. The driver takes students to an area with no traffic so they can practice sitting properly, getting off the bus, crossing in front of the bus, waiting for the driver's signal and reloading. The students learn to take the driver's cues. "The bus ride is probably the most time-consuming part of our program, but there are a lot of kids who don't ride the bus to and from school and will not have a lot of chances to actually ride the bus. We think it's important for them," says Judy Holzmann, vice president of Johnson School Bus Service. Frank Misner, director of transportation at Clay (Ind.) Community Schools, says his district lets students sit in the driver's seat of the bus while the driver explains the Ten Foot Rule. "We usually set a short student from their class in front of the bus and ask students if they can see the student from the driver's seat," Misner explains. Students can experience for themselves how hard it is to see a student in the danger zone. Back-to-school training can be a chance for staff members who don't normally interact with students to get out and work with kids. Hillsborough County (Fla.) Schools had a mechanic with a passion for educating kids who would take a bus out to the schools himself. That mechanic passed away this year, but fellow mechanic Michael Wood is continuing the tradition. He shows the bus to preschoolers. "I show them all the rules — how to wait until the bus stops and the arm comes out, how to board using the handrail and the 12 rules posted inside the bus," says Wood. "I walk them around the outside to see the stop arm, the lights and the backup alarm." Wood also opened the hood for the students so they can see inside the engine compartment. "They seem to think I might know more about the bus because I'm a mechanic. I think they probably have a slightly different reaction to me than to a bus driver," he says. 4. Bolster Buster
No doubt, operators who own the robotic Buster the Bus, manufactured by Robotronics in Springfield, Utah, incorporate him into their programs year after year. Buster is always a hit with the students. To keep the students excited about Buster, districts can change their Buster presentation and do something fresh each year. Instructors can perform a "Buster monologue" and have Buster review the rules, a "Buster question-and-answer session" where Buster and the students in the audience ask safety questions to each other, or a skit where instructors interact with Buster. Buster is the star of Brevard County (Fla.) School District's safety presentation. The "Buster Team" of four instructors gathers a large group of pre-kindergartners and kindergartners in the school cafeteria or auditorium. One male driver hides behind the scenes to be the voice of Buster. When the curtains open, Buster is sound asleep and snoring. The other instructors onstage ask the audience very quietly, "Will you help wake up Buster? When I count to three, yell his name - Buster!" The kids excitedly scream his name. Buster's eyes open and he says good morning to the students. Buster drives up and down the stage, commenting on this girl's cute dress and that boy's cool T-shirt, to give the students a more personal interaction with Buster. The instructors ask the kids what safety rules they know, and as soon as the hands come up, Buster calls on students to offer their answers. Finally, one of the instructors has an entertaining conversation with Buster, asking him questions about what she can and can't do on the bus. The safety rules are taught through this conversation. The presentation usually lasts between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on how focused the students are. "We play it by ear. The children in each school are different, so we let them be our guide," says driver Laurie Wheeler. "If we have over-stimulated them or not stimulated them enough, we lose them and it's time to pack up and go home. Especially with the pre-kindergartners and kindergartners, you have to be sensitive to that." Brevard County lets students as young as infants and toddlers in the daycare program meet Buster. "It's just a little introduction into what's coming down the road for them," says Wheeler. The little kids are fascinated with Buster, wanting to poke his eyes and open up his back door to look inside. Robotronics has also developed Barney the Bus, a modern, snub-nose robotic bus with the same features as Buster. 5. Offer parting gifts
Almost every school district and contractor hands out something to students at the end of the presentation for them to take home. Materials like stickers, posters, activity sheets and coloring books serve as fun, tangible reminders of what was learned about school bus safety. Holzmann of Johnson School Bus Service gives students coloring books provided by the state of Minnesota. With the coloring books, "it's really easy to understand and follow all the rules," says Holzmann. Students also receive a certificate for completing the safety program. Hillsborough County Schools designed its own coloring book for kids, using safety posters, says Karen Strickland, general director for the district's transportation department. Her district also designs word searches for upper-grade students. The Flemington-Raritan School District gives third-graders a paper bus that they can cut out, fold and assemble. Many districts and contractors will take their safety programs to community centers and local events, where students come with their parents. The Northeast regional team at Student Transportation of America, based in Howell, N.J., put on a safety program at a community safety event in New Jersey in June. Along with coloring books and crayons, they handed out Frisbees as safety reminders. Because students were in attendance with their parents, they were able to send safety flyers and tips home with parents as well. John Fay, director of school bus marketing for International and IC Corp., often goes to schools and puts on the "Be Cool, Follow the Rules" safety program developed by the National PTA. At the end of his program, Fay gives the kids beanie buses and tells them to remember the school bus safety rules every time they look at the bus.

Use xmlproperty, which loads the xml result as an xml file, or the load the complete file (see the Ant manual for this task). BTW, The xmlproperty task has a patch in Bugzilla that enables it to give the result of multiple tags like a,b,c. Last but not least, in proposal/embed there is a drop-in enhancement to Ant that makes it possible to load an XML file as DOM and get properties from it using xpath syntax. -- Nicola Ken Barozzi email@example.com - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:email@example.com> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:email@example.com>
