Obamacare tricky for Weld ag producers
March 31, 2014
For many employers in Weld County's agriculture industry, complying with requirements of the Affordable Care Act is proving to be a daunting and confusing task.
Farmers and livestock owners in the county say they're preparing to comply by 2016 — a deadline that's been extended for the second time — but many of them are having a difficult time figuring out where to start.
They're in good company, as insurance agents and attorneys say many are finding it difficult to decipher the requirements.
"It's not simple stuff," said John Reeves III, a specialist and regional broker with Aflac who spent last year touring Colorado, discussing with ag producers the approaching healthcare changes. "But they're going to have to get their arms around it at some point."
The Affordable Care Act requires businesses with more than 50 full-time employees to provide reasonably priced health insurance options or pay a $2,000 fee per employee. Employers with fewer than 50 full-time employees may also have to take into account part-time equivalent employees.
Chris Kraft, a Fort Morgan-area dairyman who sits on the board of directors for the Dairy Farmers of America, said he and others in the dairy business "don't even know where to start," and they're not alone.
"We're trying to ask our industry people and attorneys and so on what we're supposed to do, and a lot of them aren't sure either," Kraft said.
At the top of the list of concerns for many employers is the question of how seasonal workers should be counted under the new law.
Joanna Sakata, whose family owns Sakata Farms in Brighton, said they already offer health insurance to full-time employees — like some others, but without the ability to predict how long harvest will last, it's difficult to figure ahead of time whether seasonal workers will qualify under the new health care requirements.
"When they come into work, we're really not sure how long they're going to work," she said.
Jordan Hungenberg of Hungenberg Produce near Greeley said having to offer health insurance to around 200 seasonal workers each year would likely hurt the family farm significantly.
"If we had to pay health care on all those people, we wouldn't be able to farm, really," he said. "If we had to pay that $2,000 fine, we'd be in a bit of trouble, too."
Like Sakata, Hungenberg said if all of their seasonal employees do qualify under the requirements, his family will have to reconsider how they operate and may have to lean more on automated systems to bring in their carrot and cabbage crops.
"We have to find a way to be more efficient or we would have to be able to get more for our product," Hungenberg said, adding that carrot prices likely won't increase enough to help alleviate financial stress.
Mike Harper of Harper's Feedlot said he operates with fewer than 50 full-time employees, but he's opting to expand his health care coverage options to help workers avoid complications that may come with having to find insurance on their own.
"This is just something that we're trying to be progressive about and get everyone covered," he said.
Harper said while he's not required to change his health care options, he's seen how convoluted the process can be, and he's grateful he had the help of an insurance agent from start to finish.
Kent Peppler, president of the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union, said his small family farm doesn't cross the 50-employee threshold. He said he is hearing of good things coming from the complex Affordable Care Act, finding positive stories from people who have signed up with the health cooperative that the Farmers Union Foundation sponsors, Colorado HealthOP.
"We're just hearing stories by the dozens that are telling us that people who have never had insurance before are now getting insurance, and we're seeing everything from stints in hearts to liver transplants that weren't getting done because people didn't have the insurance."
Lynn Fagerberg, whose family runs Fagerberg Produce near Eaton, said the most frustrating part of the new requirements is that they seem to keep changing.
"It's a moving target," Fagerberg said.
With added paperwork and costs, Fagerberg said whatever the requirements end up being, he predicts they'll be an added burden to his family operation.
"Just like any other small business, it's going to be a problem," he said.

Perfect Family Holiday
May 2, 2014
Stayed here for 7 nights with my wife and 2 kids and really enjoyed it. Perfect view and very comfortable and cozy flat. The Flat is far enough from the larger and noisier Bodrum Streets while having enough restaurants and bars close by.
Great family location just outside Bodrum

Great family location just outside Bodrum
April 25, 2014
Stayed here a few years ago now. The apartment had every amenity required and enjoyed a beautiful view over the coast and swimming pool. Due to the location the apartment and pool usually had a cooling breeze. Restaurants on site and within a short walk, Bodrum was a short bus ride away. Will definately return.
From Colette
The Flamingo apartments are modern, bright, clean, and well-equipped, located at the front edge of the complex, convenient to the main road and bus stop from where the local bus service (Dolmus) operates to Bodrum and other outlying areas.  The shared pool area and large roof patio are perfect for sunbathing.  The Ocean View Café/Shop and Bar, just off-site sells all the basics. Altogether, the perfect place to sight-see or chill-out.

Survey: Contractors Like to Drive Fendt
40 percent of contractors in Germany drive a Fendt tractor. In second place on the list of favourites is John Deere, followed by Case-IH, Deutz and New Holland.
More than 40 percent (%) of German contractors worked with a Fendt tractor in their businesses in 2013. In the previous year, Fendt was also the most widely used brand amongst German contractors.
The German tractor brand Fendt (40.4 percent) and the US brand John Deere (18.1 percent) are most frequently cited as the first, second or third preferred brand in German contracting enterprises. The brands Case-IH, Deutz and New Holland follow in the third to fifth places. These results correspond to those of the last market survey from 2012. Nearly two of ten contractors want to invest in a new or used tractor this year. The greatest interest here was in the brands Fendt (44.4 %) and John Deere (27.8 %).
A further result of the survey: The more tractors that are already present in a contracting business, the higher the percentage of investment plans for a new or used tractor. Contractors with 20 or more tractors have the most plans to invest. Of these, 42.9 percent want to buy a new tractor.
2,650 contractors surveyed
These figures originate from the LohnunternehmerScanner 2013/14 survey, which was carried out by the AgriDirect Deutschland GmbH from December 2013 up to and including January 2014. The business operations and future plans of 2,650 contractors were surveyed for this market scanner.

Fendt at Agritechnica 2013 – Top Atmosphere, Top Customers, Top Success
Once again, the Agritechnica 2013 is an exhibition that sets new records. On 420,000 square metres, the entire industry presented itself to some 450,000 visitors to the world's leading agricultural equipment and machinery exhibition. The exhibition not only set a new record in terms of the number of visitors, but also for exhibitors as well as in its internationality. For the first time, all 27 exhibition halls were occupied with 2,900 exhibitors from 47 countries. The exhibition was therefore fully booked. And accordingly there were crowds of visitors at the Fendt stand in Hall 9, where the premium brand and trend-setter in agricultural engineering presented its new innovations in the areas of tractors, combines and balers.
"There was a very positive atmosphere here at our stand. The agricultural industry is currently in a stable economic environment, so that we were able to conduct excellent, concrete talks here with our customers and dealers," summed up Peter-Josef Paffen, Vice President and Chairman of the AGCO/Fendt Management Board. This impression is substantiated by the DLG exhibitor survey. Seventy percent of the farming and forestry enterprises said they plan to invest in the next two years. "We already reached our sales target of 18,000 tractors before the Agritechnica. Here at the exhibition we are already talking about orders for the upcoming year. Thanks to our new factory, we are ready to deliver and also aim to attain these high sales figures in 2014. The Agritechnica has given us the right impetus and tailwind for this," said Paffen.
Fendt presented its complete line-up – from the 200 V/F/P specialty tractor range with 70 hp to the 939 Vario with 390 hp – on 2,550 square metres within the 7,200-square metre AGCO stand in Hanover. There was an especially high interest in the innovations. Under the motto "Experience Fendt. Making things happen.", Fendt presented new high-horsepower machines in all areas this year. The new 800 and 900 Vario high-horsepower tractors convinced visitors with a number of new technical innovations, such as the integral tyre pressure regulation system VarioGrip. Fendt also presented the new combines from the Fendt X-Series with hybrid technology and the most powerful Fendt of all times – the Fendt Katana 85 forage harvester with 850 hp. "The demand for Fendt harvesting machinery is climbing noticeably. Today we also offer high-quality products in this area," commented Paffen. The topic of precision farming was presented at both the Variotronic and the AGCO Fuse stands. In this area, Fendt now also offers SectionControl and the AGCOMMAND telemetry system. On the basis of the Fendt X Concept, visitors were able to get a first impression of the direction development in agricultural engineering will take regarding electrical drives for tractors.
Innovative technology is rewarded with awards. Fendt received the silver medal from the DLG for its new flat-sealing hydraulic coupling system. The "Machine of the Year" was awarded to the Fendt 516 Vario for tractors and the new 9490X for combines. Fendt also received the official DLG test mark for the VarioGuide RTK automated steering. "Of course, it is a great pleasure to reap awards. However, it is important to us that we bring innovations onto the market that provide real benefits for our customers and take all of their requirements for practical use into consideration. The new hydraulic coupling system is an excellent example for this, because it enables farms to convert to modern hydraulic systems flexibly, step by step, and there are no oil leaks during handling," added the Chairman of the AGCO/Fendt Management Board.
At the Agritechnica, AGCO/Fendt finds the ideal environment to present its new technologies. "The Agritechnica is an innovation driver and provider of ideas for global agriculture and has impressively demonstrated the growing worldwide significance of farming and agricultural engineering," explained Dr. Reinhard Grankdke, The share of visitors from outside of Germany is continually climbing, in 2013 every fourth visitor came from abroad – a new peak. "In Hanover, we meet our customers from many different countries. These included investors from Central and Eastern Europe as well as large groups from North America, who we gave a better understanding of our latest technology. We took this as an opportunity to gear up our exhibited machines accordingly and presented a 724 Vario with row crop tyres for the North American market for the first time at our stand. Overall, it was an excellent mix of expert farmers and entrepreneurs, which is becoming increasingly more international," explains Peter-Josef Paffen. Hall 9, where the AGCO Corporation with Fendt and its other brands was found at the Agritechnica, proved to be a true magnet for visitors. The Fendt stand was one of the best visited stands over all the exhibition days. "With a team of more than 150 employees from Marketing and Sales, we were there for our customers at the Agritechnica and are pleased with the high-level conversations and the great resonance our brand found with customers," summed up Paffen.

"It's very challenging to take a good whitewater kayaking photo – especially in this case," says Anze Osterman. To get this shot, he had to climb into the section known as 'Jubilation' in Slovenien, standing knee deep in the powerful stream with one hand gripping the rocks and the other on the camera. Not easy to do in this year's heavy summer waterflow.
So, two questions: where is this wicked spot, and did athlete Zan Kuncic paddle out of this upright? "This is a 200m long boulder garden in the big gorge of the river Soča. And yes, he paddled out of this position – a stout lean to a perfect boof without tipping over!"

During the holidays, Carlos came to our house and prepared a wonderful meal for us. My wife is from France, and her parents were visiting us as well. Needless to say, they know, and appreciate, great food.
We had a night to remember. Carlos arrived on time, and was professional in every way. The dinner had many courses, and each one was original, and delicious. My wife and her parents thought the food was terrific – as I did. Carlos explained what each dish was, and how he made it.
One could tell that Carlos is not only professional, he is also an artist. No doubt he has to make a living, as we all must, but one can see that he also loves what he does, and loves to share what he has created.
It is very important to him that the evening be special. It was. Though we paid for his services, the evening still felt like receiving a great gift.
I do not see how it would have been possible for the evening to be any better than it was. We hope to have Carlos come again.

APS board selects new member
Veronica Sims filling remainder of Ginger Baylor's term
|Veronica Sims was sworn in as a new member of the Akron Public Schools Board of Education March 25.
|Photo: Becky Tompkins
Veronica Sims was chosen by the APS board March 20 to fill the remainder of the term of Ginger Baylor, who recently resigned to accept a position with U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-District 11).
Sims bested a field of 23 who applied for the open seat, a group board President Jason Haas called "a deep and strong pool of qualified applicants." It took two nights for the board to interview all of the applicants.
Baylor, in her first term, was elected to the board in November 2009, taking office in January 2010. The term Sims will fill runs through Dec. 31.
Sims is an Akron native, West Akron resident and APS alumna, having graduated from Garfield High School. She is also an APS parent, with a daughter who is a middle school student at the National Inventors Hall of Fame® School for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Learning.
The new board member also is a University of Akron graduate, where she earned a bachelor of science in political science/criminal justice, with a minor in sociology, and a master's in public administration.
For five years, Sims has been an administrator of special projects and government affairs for Akron Summit Community Action Inc. (ASCA), a nonprofit corporation and social service agency that provides services to low-income residents of Summit County.
Previously at ASCA, she was the director of outreach and community development, and before that, administrator of emergency services. She also held the position of regional facility manager, adult services, at the Summit County Developmental Disabilities Board.
Sims also has served as executive director of the Ohio Black Legislative Caucus, where she worked with legislators, governmental agencies and public officials across Ohio, she said.
This past fall, Sims served on the levy campaign committee to help pass the district's operating levy. She said she has long been interested in education, coming from "a strong heritage of educators."
Sims said she sees the most pressing issue for the school board to address is "creating environments where kids can thrive, places where kids feel safe, even if they've been in trouble."
She added, "The school system does a good job with this, and I believe my skill sets will only help to enhance that."
She believes that "to discredit or underestimate environment in children's learning abilities is a mistake. It's hard to learn if you're hungry or homeless, or worried about your family."
She said she sees education as a continuum, going beyond 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in school.
"Every child has the right to learn, live and play in a safe environment," she said.
Sims was sworn in at the APS Board of Education meeting March 25 by her pastor, Diana Swoope, of the Arlington Church of God, in front of a large crowd of family, friends and well-wishers.

Sen. Jay Rockefeller is getting ready to settle into retirement. But before he does, he'd like to upend the entire television industry.
Although his ambitious gambit is unlikely to pay off in the final few months of his 30-year career, it could lay the groundwork for future congressional action that could change how Americans watch TV.
Rockefeller's goal is to boost online video services like Netflix to allow them to become full-fledged competitors to cable giants like Comcast. In his view, consumers are paying too much for too many channels they don't watch.
"Do people really want to see 500 channels when all they really want to look at are eight, like me?" asked Rockefeller, the chairman of the powerful Senate Commerce Committee, during a hearing last week on the future of the video marketplace.
And things are only going to get worse, Rockefeller fears, with Comcast planning to buy Time Warner Cable and AT&T set to takeover DirecTV.
It's a twist of history for Rockefeller to be standing against the mega-mergers of our era. He is, after all, the great grandson and benefactor of John D. Rockefeller, a man whose company dominated the oil industry to the point of inspiring Congress's first antitrust laws more than a century ago.
But it's not a new position for the West Virginia Democrat, who has been a longtime critic of industry consolidation.
Now, with months left in his last term, the senator is gearing up for one last battle: He argues that providing regulatory protections to online video companies would inject much-needed competition into the TV industry, driving down prices and opening up new choices.
So what would your television experience look like if Rockefeller reigned supreme?
Online video services would be able to offer even more programming options than cable and satellite companies could. And with many TVs now hooked up to the Internet, your experience could be the same as it is with today's giant providers — or you could watch on your phone, tablet, or laptop. You could also watch more shows when you want, not when the channels decide they should air.
An explosion of online options could give you more leverage to pay for what you actually want. It would be harder for a cable company to force you into buying a massive package of hundreds of channels you don't watch if there's an array of online choices at your fingertips.
To that end, Rockefeller last year introduced the Consumer Choice in Online Video Act, which would overhaul the complex web of TV regulations to bolster the online video industry.
His bill would bar cable companies, which provide both Internet access and TV programming, from discriminating against online video competitors. It would also limit the ability of companies to use contractual agreements to block websites from buying access to video content.
At last week's video hearing, Rockefeller put it mildly when he said his bill "caused some angst on K Street."
Cable companies argue that their industry is already plenty competitive, while the broadcast TV networks are aghast at a provision that would protect the video site Aereo (the networks claim the site was stealing their content, and the Supreme Court agreed in a ruling earlier this year).
Rockefeller's bill has gone nowhere. But he is now eyeing a legislative vehicle to push through his reforms.
The Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act, or STELA, is set to expire at the end of the year. The law allows about 1.5 million satellite TV subscribers in rural areas to access broadcast channels, and many lawmakers consider the reauthorization bill "must pass" legislation.
The Judiciary and Commerce committees in both chambers share jurisdiction over STELA. The Senate Judiciary Committee already approved a "clean" update that doesn't make any other changes to the video industry.
The House passed a reauthorization bill Tuesday that makes certain minor tweaks to give cable companies more leverage in negotiations with broadcasters.
But Rockefeller has bigger ambitions. He is working with Sen. John Thune, the Senate Commerce Committee's top Republican, to attach other regulatory reforms to the bill. They plan to unveil their legislation in September.
Industry lobbyists are anxious about what the committee will produce, but Rockefeller and his aides have been tight-lipped.
Speaking off the Senate floor Tuesday, Thune said Rockefeller "recognizes some of the limitations that we have right now just from a time standpoint."
He said aides are still "batting around ideas" but that many of the provisions in Rockefeller's online video bill would be a "heavy lift" in the waning weeks of the Congress. The South Dakota Republican was reluctant to discuss specifics, but he said the language in the House version of STELA is "in play" in the Senate, as well as some broader regulatory changes.
But even if Rockefeller isn't able to jam through his online video bill as an attachment to STELA, his bill is likely to shape discussions for years to come. Lawmakers are expected to begin work next year on the first major rewrite of communications law since 1996.
"My guess is that [online video] is something that we probably will discuss a lot, but probably in the context of a bigger telecom reauthorization," Thune said. "It'll be interesting to see if someone picks that mantle up."

After spending a few minutes re-litigating the Democratic primary, Donald Trump turned his focus to Obamacare. "I inherited a mess, believe me. We also inherited a failed healthcare law that threatens our medical system with absolute and total catastrophe" he said. "I've been watching and nobody says it, but Obamacare doesn't work." He finished, "so we're going to repeal and replace Obamacare."
Donald Trump lobbed his first attack at the "dishonest media" about a minute into his speech, saying that the media would not appropriately cover the standing ovation that he received. "We are fighting the fake news," he said, before doubling down on his previous claim that the press is "the enemy of the people." However, he made a distinction, saying that he doesn't think all media is the enemy, just the "fake news."
"The FBI rejected a recent White House request to publicly knock down media reports about communications between Donald Trump's associates and Russians known to US intelligence during the 2016 presidential campaign, multiple US officials briefed on the matter tell CNN. But a White House official said late Thursday that the request was only made after the FBI indicated to the White House it did not believe the reporting to be accurate."

World Health Assembly progress on noncommunicable diseases and traditional medicine
23 May 2014 GENEVA -
The World Health Assembly continued progress Friday, approving plans to better incorporate palliative care, expand inclusion of the needs of those affected by autism, improve access to health care for those with disabilities, better integrate the use of traditional medicine and raise awareness of psoriasis.
Traditional medicine
The Health Assembly approved WHO's traditional medicine strategy 2014–2023. Traditional medicine covers a wide variety of therapies and practices which vary from country to country and region to region. The strategy aims to build the knowledge base for national policies and strengthen quality assurance, safety, proper use and effectiveness of traditional and complementary medicine through regulation. It also aims to promote universal health coverage by integrating traditional and complementary medicine services into health care service delivery and home care.
Disability action plan
A new WHO global disability action plan 2014–2021 aims to improve the health and quality of life of the one billion people around the world with disabilities by improving their access to health care and creating new and strengthening existing services and technologies that help them acquire or restore skills and functions. It also aims to strengthen data and research.
People with disabilities have the same general health care needs as others, but are three times more likely to be denied health care and four times more likely to be treated badly in health facilities. One in seven people worldwide has a disability. As people live longer and chronic diseases increase, more people are likely to develop disabilities. Road traffic crashes, falls, violence, natural disasters and conflict, unhealthy diet and substance abuse can also lead to disability.
Autism spectrum disorders
The Health Assembly urged Member States to include the needs of individuals affected by autism spectrum and other developmental disorders in policies and programmes related to child and adolescent health and development and mental health. This means increasing the capacity of health and social care systems to provide services for individuals with autism spectrum disorders and for their families and shifting the focus of care from long-stay health facilities towards non-residential services in the community. It also means improving health surveillance systems to capture data on autism spectrum disorders and ensuring countries are better able to diagnose and treat autism spectrum disorders.
The resolution highlights the need for the WHO Secretariat to help strengthen countries' capacities to address autism spectrum and other developmental disorders; facilitate resource mobilization; engage with autism-related networks; and monitor progress. All efforts will be conducted in alignment with the WHO Mental health action plan 2013–2020.
Autism spectrum disorders comprise a range of development disorders which include autism, childhood disintegrative disorder and Asperger syndrome. Worldwide, most people with autism spectrum disorders and their families do not receive any care from health and social care systems.
A resolution on psoriasis encourages Member States to raise awareness about the disease and to advocate against the stigma experienced by so many people who suffer from it. It requests the WHO Secretariat to draw attention to the public health impact of psoriasis and publish a global report on the disease, emphasizing the need for greater research and identifying successful strategies for integrating the management of psoriasis into existing services for noncommunicable diseases by the end of 2015.
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by scaly, red skin lesions. People with psoriasis have relatively higher risks of heart disease, stroke, hypertension and diabetes. Studies have documented higher rates of depression and anxiety compared with the general population.
Strengthening palliative care as a component of comprehensive care
Today's resolution emphasizes that the need for palliative care services will continue to grow – partly because of the rising prevalence of noncommunicable diseases and the ageing of populations everywhere. The WHO global action plan for the prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases 2013–2020, endorsed by the Health Assembly in May 2013, includes palliative care among the policy options proposed to Member States and in its global monitoring framework.

The wait for the next proper Ridge Racer title has been long, but Unbounded is finally here, and it brings a surprise: it's also for the PC. In this iteration, we're to conquer races in Shatter Bay, build our own tracks, and compete with others online. Oh – and to act like a hurricane to wreck as much as we possibly can.
The racing physics in Unbounded are solid, as long as you don't expect any sort of realism. The control is tight, and successful drifting is easy to pull off. While there are many things you can run into that will stop you in your tracks, most objects on or off to the side of the track can be smashed through without issue. Trees in the middle of the road? No problem. A concrete pillar in front of the bank? Ditto.
Sometimes, objects you run into can affect other racers, although that sort of gameplay isn't a major focus. The biggest destruction detriment to other racers are explosive trucks found throughout most of the races. If you're boost is full, you'll be able to ram these and virtually take out any racers within a close radius. Death doesn't mean the race is over for that particular racer, but it does mean they lose precious seconds.
A major complaint I have with most Need for Speed titles is that there's an obvious "rubberband effect". That effect means that no matter how far ahead you can get from other racers, the game gives them a boost to help keep things competitive right until the very end. This is hardly ideal, as it makes any race feel a little pointless, and gives you the opportunity to lose within the last few seconds of the race even if you had a perfect run up until that point. Fortunately, I've noticed no such issue with Unbounded.
There might be a reason for that: the game is difficult. Unbounded is one of the few racing games where I didn't beat the initial race on the first try, and in all of the races I've completed, I don't think I've ever been more than eight seconds ahead of #2. More often than not, I win races a mere 2-3 seconds ahead of the person behind me. This is the kind of difficulty I appreciate, as unlike the "rubberband effect", it actually feels genuine.
To win races, you'll need to take advantage of your boost, or "power" as the game calls it. This is similar to nitrous, but it allows you to take out opponents or smash through certain buildings (clearly marked). Power can help you overtake an opponent when the opportunity arises and allows you to take important shortcuts. Power alone won't win races for you – but learning the best time to use it can.
While Need for Speed is packed with big-name autos, Ridge Racer never has been. Instead, we are treated to a variety of faux manufacturers and models that generally resemble real-world counterparts. For some, this might be off-putting, but the fact of the matter is, Ridge Racer is not a realistic game, so the faux cars do fit in well (plus, I might cry if I was expected to drive an FXX through a concrete pillar).
In addition to the quest mode, there's also online play. You are able to play any mode or track online, and even create your own tracks for use online. If you're not much of a multi-player gamer, you're still able to go on and play a set of different user-modded tracks each day, and if you manage to beat the set time, you'll be awarded with a Domination point (used for nothing more than bragging rights, unless the developers have future plans for them).
A common issue with racing games ported to the PC is that the online community is usually very small. There's no exception to the rule here, so the best chance of finding a good multi-player race will depend on whether a friend owns the game. In the couple of MP races I did partake in, lag was virtually nonexistent.
The graphics in Unbounded are quite good. The city is full of eye candy, and for the most part it feels like a real city. Things can become bland after a little while when you realize the differences between districts are not great, but Shatter Bay is most definitely a fun city to race through.
The audio is also suitable, but like the gameplay itself, don't expect realism. To help keep you pumped up during the race, the music score includes different varieties of electronic music that perfectly suits the game. The soundtrack list is rather small, however, so you will hear the same songs over and over as time goes on.
Whenever you're bored with racing, there's still fun to be had, thanks to the level editor. With this, you're able to mix and match various portions of all districts, place them down how you want, and then add in other variables such as explosive trucks or ramps. Unfortunately, due to the "budget' that exists, there are limits to the tracks you can create, but overall the editor is very flexible. Once built, you can take the race online, or simply fool around in it solo.
To help wrap things up, Ridge Racer Unbounded is one of the best racing titles I've played in a while. It's not like most other racers, and that works to its advantage. It's a game for those who don't take racing all too seriously and just want to have fun blasting through cities in ways only Hollywood can deliver. Still not sure if it's for you? Be sure to check out the YouTube video posted on the first page of the review!

remove double backslash
While debugging another bug I found that in EnumSystemFiles() in os2_rand.c the filename that gets passed to (*func) contains a double backslash. sysDir has a trailing backslash and the sprintf adds another one. While this doesn't cause any immediate problems I think this should be cleaned up (OS/2 APIs like DosOpen don't like double backslashes).
I need someone with NSS checkin powers to get this into the tree.
I checked this in to the trunk.

Cron and accesslib.php were both changed substantially in Moodle 2.2.
One bit in particular has been causing us problems since we upgraded from 2.1.x this morning. In cron-lib, there are now calls to
context_helper::cleanup_instances(); // Line 149 of lib/cronlib.php
context_helper::build_all_paths(false); // Line 151 of lib/cronlib.php
context_helper::create_instances(); // Line 183 of lib/cronlib.php
At least one of thase calls was bringing down our server, but we are not 100% sure which. We commented out all three lines of code, and now running cron does not bring down the server, and we don't really want to experiment enabling them one at a time, and see which crashes our live systemwink

How can I reproduce this on my test server? Could you tell us at least how many contexts of each level you have in database and what database are you using?
Sorry Petr, I am not expecting you to work on this. I only created this bug so I could submit a patch for peer review.
We think the problem only affects Postgres, and is to do with how Postgres handles concurrency. Basically, in pg, when you alter a row, it actually writes a new row, then when the transaction is committed, marks the old row as deleted, and the new row as live. Later, the deleted rows get cleaned up by a VACUUM.
At the moment, context_user::build_paths is doing an update that will alter every row (even though the data in almost all the rows will not change). We think that this, or rather the auto-vacuum that it triggers soon after wards, is killing our Moodle by locking the the context table for some time.
Therefore, this patch (by Derek Woolhead) changes the query add a where clause so that we only rewrite rows where the data will actually change.
I think it could be build paths for user context level, I can try adding $force condition similar to other context and test it with a few tens of thousands of users.
OK, here is our proposed change. Since the issue is Postgres only, this is not actually going to help Dan P with moodle.org.
Anyway, comments please.
If we like this change, obviously it needs to be backported to 2.2 stable.
I guess it might be even faster to do only "depth = 0 OR path IS NULL" if !$force and the query in patch if $force.
Do we only need to care about the user? Should we consider the same thing happeneing in other contextlevels?
I think that the code for most other context levels already has this sort of check built in, or is just not significant. At the OU we have half a million users, a few thousand courses, and about a hundred categories.
+1 from me on this, but I reffer you to Petrs' comments since hes the expert in this area.
OK. Patch revised. Please can you look at https://github.com/timhunt/moodle/compare/master...MDL-32462 again.
I note that the corresponding code for courses and modules is much more complex for some reason.
looks ok, but I did not tests the code, I guess we could improve the accesslib unittests a bit to test both $force values
anyway +1 for integration
I tested it to the extent of making a test script that called context_helper::build_all_paths(false); and context_helper::build_all_paths(true); and ensuring there were no fatal errors.
Testing instructions written.
I will rebase and cherry-pick once the weeklies are out.
Submitting for integration now. Thanks to everyone who looked at this.
Note that we are not yet running this fix on our live servers. We don't normally change core code locally if we can help it. Instead, we wait until the commit is integrated into the stable branch and then cherry-pick it. However, in this case we are considering patching it to the live servers next week (which means next Tuesday morning UK time) which means that we will know if it solves our cron performance problems, or not, before the weeklies have to be rolled.
it would be great to know if we should look for more problems, thanks a lot!
Thanks, i've integrated this now.
Tim: it'll be really great if you can report on the results of your run in production. thanks.
This has been near becoming rejected, because it's not the best code you are able to produce.
But, luckily, at the end, it has landed and has been spread to all repos out there.
Many thanks and, don't forget it, keep improving your skills, you can!
Closing, ciao
Eloy, please explain your last comment because as far as I am concerned no thought whatsoever has been given to code quality/performance/scalability with regard to the context changes for Moodle 2.2
Hi Derek, I think Eloy meant it as a joke. You are right that the performance/scalability was not my major concern when coding the accesslib changes, the changes in 2.2 actually fixed bugs, cleaned up the internal implementation and part of it was also introduction of unit tests + inline documentation. This should allow us to work on new features (such as cohort contexts, multitenant if we ever agree to implement it, etc.) and implement new performance improvements (such as memcahe caches, deduplication of caches in cron, etc.). The biggest problem is that majority of core developers do not have access to any meaningful large test datasets, you can not expect us to actually test scalability when we do not have access to test servers with configuration and data similar to real production sites, right? So for now we can only make sure that the code returns correct data, carefully review code and wait till somebody tests it with data from/on production servers and if any problems are reported we try to fix them as soon as possible. But then again we have to rely on somebody else to actually prove the improvements work as expected for large installs.

|Before After
I signed up on L'Oreal's Facebook page to grab a sample of their BB Cream and Lumi Foundation. Review of BB Cream to come.
The illuminating foundation is an oil free hydrating formula and claims to last up to 12 hours. It's slightly liquidly and is of an medium consistency, blended in well with using just my fingers. I got shade N4 Pure Beige which was a touch too dark (you can't really tell in the picture), maybe summer time it would be more appropriate. I would say it's a medium to full coverage. It did cover my red cheeks quite well without being too cakey and left a fairly dewy finish. I had a few blemishes that needed a bit more help but they were tough buggers!
My skin did look a lot more brighter and I was happy with the result, after 10 hours the coverage was still good, a touch up would not be turned down but still I feel it's lasted well. I would definitely be intrigued to try this again but in another shade!

New Travel Memoir Follows One Family's Adventure While Vacationing In India
Author and traveler Mariann Margulis is pleased to announce the release of her new India travel memoir entitled, Bats, Rats and Holy Cows or Seventeen Days in India.
Author and traveler Mariann Margulis is pleased to announce the release of her new India travel memoir entitled, Bats, Rats and Holy Cows or Seventeen Days in India.
Imagine touring a different foreign country each year and bringing your two sons along with you! It's a tradition for author Mariann Margulis to decide with her children where their annual travel spot will be.
In 2008, they jointly agreed to tour India for seventeen days. The choice thrilled Margulis, since India had always intrigued her as a child, with its alluring jewels, opulent fabrics, images of the Taj Mahal, and a host of exotic culinary flavors. In her memory, Benares, later renamed Varanasi, was a magical place full of rituals, sacred traditions, and Hindu holy men, or Sadhus. She could hardly wait for the experience!
Bats, Rats and Holy Cows or Seventeen Days in India: One Family's Adventure is a memoir recounting the trio's unforgettable trip to this very different land, as she travels with her two sons, ages twelve and ten, throughout the exotic country of India.
The shared insights and personal perspectives of the places visited by the family make this travel guide personal, exciting, and engaging. The light-hearted depiction of their encounters in charming India provide an informative, enjoyable read for anyone who is fascinated by diverse cultures with authentic, often humorous, reactions to the unfamiliar curiosities of a life far from Western culture.
Traveling with young people adds unexpected viewpoints to the experience, its rewards, and the numerous learning opportunities. Not only is this type of travel exciting and informative, the introduction of drastically different cultures to novice travelers is priceless for readers of all ages and backgrounds.
"… the charms of India win over the family, and readers will be engrossed in the trio's experiences in Varanasi, Agra, Jaipur and especially the Thar Desert. Margulis offers information about each place they visit… Her writing is strong (she has contributed to Fodor's) and readers may come to see her as something of a parental role model because she allows her sons to experience India on their own terms, not necessarily hers. By turns amusing (and) touching, this travelogue colorfully portrays India, perhaps convincingly enough for readers to want to visit with their own children." - Kirkus Reviews

About The Author
Mariann Margulis has a degree in Middle Eastern studies and archaeology. Since her first solo trip to the Middle East at the age of eighteen, she has developed a love of travel and has imparted that passion to her children. Over the last six years, she and her sons have made it a tradition to travel to places few people have seen. Their annual trips have brought them to the most remote corners of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. She hopes to encourage others to travel with children since it has proven to be a rewarding learning experience for parents and children alike. She lives in New York with her husband, Tony, their two sons, Julian and Fillip, and Zizu, her devoted black chow-chow.

I saw a single magpie and was sad it was not two. I saw a pair of magpies so my wish came true. I saw thee magpies flying over me. They dropped a letter at my feet What could it be?
I saw four magpies With elf boys on their wings. I saw five magpies with five silver rings I saw six magpies fly up to the sun which sprinkled gold all over them. They shone and shone
I saw seven magpies with a secret to tell But what it was is mine and theirs - To share would break the spell

Ed Gramauskas and Reid Dewson were our first real estate clients!
They were a help in getting the original version of the Ubertor website engine off the ground, actually, the suggested the idea of creating it in the first place. The thing I have noticed about Reid and Ed is that they are always ahead of the curve within real estate.
- They had a niche website when real estate agents were just getting online
- They sought out a better solution for their old website (enter Ubertor)
- They autofill listings automatically from all loft buildings within Greater Vancouver making their site the one stop shop for lofts in Vancouver
- Now, they have embraced video, YouTube and Google Video to showcase who they are and what they are about
Check out their video below... you might even seen me for a couple seconds near the end. :)

Build ID: 20110420224920
Steps to reproduce:
Open Seamonkey, open a few tabs. Go to different websites that have favicons.
Actual results:
Hit the browser back button once, that tab retains the previous sites favicon. This works the other way around as well, if you go forward the last websites favicon is displayed on the tab. However if you go forwared or back more than once the icon on the tab does update. But the next forward/back it does it again. This can be confusing when you have lots of tabs open and are looking for the site specific icon.
Expected results:
The tab should be displaying the correct site favicon on the tab at all times, not the previous icon when using the forward/back buttons.

SeaMonkey 2.0 is old, obsolete and unsupported. Does this happen in SeaMonkey 2.9?
Yes, I started noticing this beginning with version ~2.2. The most current version 2.9 does it too.
Confirming problem on trunk
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20120425 Firefox/15.0a1 SeaMonkey/2.12a1
1) Visit somewebsite.com with favicon
2) Go to google.com, favicon is correct
3) Press back button, previous site with it's favicon also rendered correctly
4) Now press Forward button, and Google get favicon from previous site on tab
Hmm. Neil, is this a tabbrowser bug?
Actually this looks like a regression from bug 660618, which landed in 2.2; what's happening is that we're no longer clearing the previous favicon when we're navigating through the bfcache.
For consistency I suppose the easiest fix is to always remove the favicon (if the page is blank then it won't have a favicon, so no change there).
Except that that's suboptimal because we then have a slight visual glitch when navigating between two pages with favicons...
Created attachment 620246 [details] [diff] [review]
Proposed patch
At this point of the code we're normally turning off the busy animation, so we're not expecting there to be an image set on the tab.
But of course bug 660618 changed this, so we're not busy, and any previous image is still there. This looks like the best place to remove it.

Just when it was starting to get predictable, AI3 pulled out a few suprises tonight.
The final group of semifinalists was arguably the hardest to call, due in no small part to the range in quality and style of the performances. None of these singers were spectacularly bad in the way that many of the Group 2 rejects were, but none were really great either. While the previous three groups all had at least one "sure thing," it seemed like the audience was voting for the best of a very mediocre pack tonight.
Seacrest started off the night right by booting John Preator from the hallowed halls of AI3 forever. At least we know he'll be able to make a career as an Art Garfunkel look-alike. Or perhaps as the new spokesman for the Hair Club for Men.
Next off the island was Lisa Wilson and her freakishly large mouth. I guess she'll go on to a career doing… something.
Creepy, smiley guy George Huff was next up. I had him figured for the third place slot tonight, and, indeed, he was in the top three.
Seacrest wasted no time in dispatching Heather Piccinini and Tiara Purifoy. I thought Tiara might have had a chance among this group but, alas, it was not to be.
Jasmine Trias, with a fresh flower in her hair, was ushered quickly into the winners' circle. While I had her pegged for a win tonight, I wonder if her sweet Hawaiian flower act will start to wear thin after awhile. She'll need to grow a personality fast if she wants to really compete in the finals.
With only John Stevens and Susie Vulaca left, we were down to one of the few real nail-biters we'd seen so far in this competition.
John's performance last night was painful, but he does seem to have that certain Clay Aiken look, and his prior performances made him stand out in the earlier rounds. Even though he's one of the youngest semi-finalists, he has a commanding presence when on stage. Not to mention, I'm sure the ladies love that red hair.
Susie, on the other hand, had one of the two best performances last night. While not a great singer, she is a good one, and in this group, that could have been enough. However, between her disastrous wardrobe and overdone make-up, she's more Scary Spice than Tamyra Gray. I wonder if her image isn't just a little off for the competition.
So, it was down to a battle of looks (John) and talent (Susie). It appeared that looks won out when John was corralled along with George and Jasmine into the holding pen.
But, when Seacrest announced that John Stevens had pulled in the most votes last night, the redhead from New York stepped up to deliver a version of You're Always A Woman To Me that blew his performance last night out of the water. Where was that last night, when it actually counted? Who knows, but America somehow pulled this one off and put the right singer of these scrappy eight into the Top 12.
So, we'd find out if George or Jasmine would be making it to the next round after the break, right? No, Seacrest pulls the old switcheroo, and, just like that, Jasmine Trias is the eighth finalist.
Prior to the performances last night, I had picked Heather and John S. to make it through. Afterwards, I thought it would be Jasmine and Susie. I'm not sure how right or wrong that makes my predictions, only that I'm glad we'll get to hear John sing again.
But wait…the show was not done yet. Seacrest capped off the evening by announcing the twelve lucky contestants who'll get a second chance in next week's wild card show. Of those twelve, four will join the first eight finalists in the Top 12 who will the be voted off one by one.
And they are…
1. Jennifer Hudson: Her return guarantees we'll hear more John Lennon classics butchered.
2. Leah LaBelle: I hope she cries again the next time she's voted off.
3. Elizabeth LeTendre: Someone's got to sing the Whitney Houston standards.
4. Lisa Leuschner: You can never have too many redheads in this contest.
5. Jon Peter Lewis: Hey, pen boy.
6. Katie Webber: The 5-second delay will be on in case her dress can't hold those fake boobs.
7. Eric Yoder: He wants to be Clay so badly.
8. Matt Metzger: The giant forehead returns.
9. Marque Lynch: Just no more Bette Midler. Please.
And, three of tonight's performers will get another shot as well:
10. Susie Vulaca
11. George Huff
12. Tiara Purifoy
The always exciting and entertaining wild card show is next week. After that, we'll really get into the thick of it.Powered by Sidelines

MANCHESTER UNITED are eager to open contract negotiations with Rio Ferdinand to ward off the persistent advances of Chelsea. The England defender is halfway through a five-year contract and, with Chelsea having made no secret of their desire to offer him a highly lucrative return to his native London, United are prepared to increase his wages to about £100,000 a week.
Although he tested the patience of Sir Alex Ferguson and the United board last season, when he incurred an eight-month suspension for failing to attend a drugs test, Ferdinand is held in the highest regard at Old Trafford. Chelsea
