At this weekend's Nike Football Training Camps event in Baltimore, two star teammates from Good Counsel (Olney, Md.) will join forces and showcase their talents in a variety of drills and competitions.
Kendall Fuller is rated the nation's No. 27 recruit in the ESPN 150, and Dorian O'Daniel is No. 73.
Trust us when we say O'Daniel is not joining Fuller for emotional support.
"I'm going for one reason and one reason only," O'Daniel said, "and that's to get an invite to The Opening. If I can get that, I'll be satisfied."
The two enter the event with plenty of prestige. Fuller, a 5-foot-11, 185-pound defensive back, has offers from top programs such as Oklahoma, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, Miami, Florida State, Florida and Virginia Tech. He intercepted three passes last season and scored five touchdowns as a receiver. His brothers Kyle and Corey both play at Virginia Tech, while his oldest brother, Vincent, also starred for the Hokies before playing in the NFL.
O'Daniel, a 6-foot-1, 205-pound linebacker, committed to Clemson in April after receiving offers from several other top programs. He recorded 40 tackles (15.5 for loss) and five sacks to go with 897 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns last season.
The duo helped Good Counsel finish as the nation's No. 5 team in the POWERADE FAB 50 and record the first undefeated season in school history.
O'Daniel says he's looking forward to keeping the unbeaten streak alive this fall, but first he has his sights set on the NFTC.
"I'm looking forward to competing with other athletes in the region and, most importantly, getting that invite to The Opening," he said. "It would mean a lot, just to know that all of my hard work has paid off. It would truly be a blessing."
Fuller and O'Daniel aren't the only ESPN 150 recruits who are scheduled to attend Saturday's Baltimore NFTC. One of the top-rated athletes is Eli Woodard of Eastern (Voorhees, N.J.). The standout cornerback and Ohio State pledge is rated the nation's No. 12 recruit in the ESPN 150.
Also scheduled to attend is Adam Breneman of Cedar Cliff (Camp Hill, Pa.), ranked the nation's No. 1 tight end and No. 39 recruit in the ESPN 150.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound Penn State pledge caught 72 passes for 1,120 yards and 12 touchdowns this past fall, leading his team to a 9-3 record.
The Eastern Christian Academy (Elkton, Md.) trio of defensive tackle Kenny Bigelow, quarterback David Sills and offensive guard Khaliel Rodgers plan on being in the house on Saturday. Bigelow, who's rated the nation's No. 10 recruit in the ESPN 150, has committed to USC, as has Sills, who's only a freshman. Meanwhile, Rodgers is rated the nation's No. 17 guard by ESPN and has offers from the likes of Ohio State, Rutgers, UCLA, Syracuse and West Virginia.
Running back David Williams of Imhotep Charter (Philadelphia), rated the nation's No. 118 recruit in the ESPN 150, also signed up for the event. Williams, who attended West Catholic (Philadelphia) last season, rushed for 1,936 yards and 18 touchdowns.
Tashawn Bower also will be in attendance. The 6-5, 230-pound defensive end from Immaculata (Somerville, N.J.) is the nation's No. 119 recruit in the ESPN 150.
Bower says he's looking forward to showing the competition why he's one of the nation's most feared defensive linemen.
"I get to showcase my talent [on Saturday] and prove I'm much better than projected," he said. "I'm more violent than it appears."
Like so many other competitors this weekend, Bower says he hopes to be validated with a spot in Oregon in July for The Opening.
"It would mean a lot," Bower said. "It definitely says that I have the talent and ability to compete with the other athletes who get chosen."
Plenty of the nation's top juniors will be at the camp, but a sophomore might garner the most intrigue. Da'Shawn Hand, one of the top players in the Class of 2014, is hoping to show that he can play a class ahead.
Hand, a 6-4, 250-pound defensive end from Woodbridge, Va., already holds 27 offers from some of the top college programs in the nation, and more come in every week.
"Every school that's offered me is equal so far," he said. "But it's been going well. I'm trying to keep in contact with these coaches and ask questions about the process."
Hand looks forward to showcasing his talents on a big stage this weekend.
"I think I'm most looking forward to the one-on-ones," he said. "That's something I really love doing. I want to see what their technique is, and I love going up against good offensive linemen."
Hand knows he's early in the whole recruiting process, and he's not resting on his laurels. He says he's trying to get his 40-yard dash time down to 4.4 seconds by his senior season, and he's already benching 315 pounds.
"I run all the time," he said. "I'm always working on my agility and footwork, my balance and body control."
We'll see how those skills play out on Saturday in Baltimore.

Great chicken piccata!! I made this using a package of thin chicken cutlets and didn't need to bake in the oven as they were cooked through after browning. Served with Recipe #345703, green beans and garlic bread for a fantastic dinner. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Congrats on your second win in the football pool!!!
Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I made it once for my family using my MIL's compy of the cookbook and it was fantastic! It takes a little work but it is well worth it. As usual, Ina does not disappoint.

The mission of the CRC is to encourage its members to live fully their vocation in following Christ. The CRC supports its members in their prophetic witness to justice and peace within society and the church. The CRC looks for audacious ways of interpreting faith and life so as to embrace the new vision of the universe."
Mission statement adopted in 2010
- To help its members carry out their role of leadership and promote consecrated life while respecting the autonomy, nature and proper spirit of each institute.
- To foster an appropriate and close collaboration among its members with the laity, and with ecclesial authorities.
- To establish suitable coordination and cooperation with Episcopal conferences and with individual bishops.
- To assist its members in their relationships with civil authorities.
Composed of lay people and religious, the staff of the CRC, based in Montreal, is divided between several complementary services to respond to the Organization's mission.

The CRC Logo
The CRC logo was created in 2003 with the reorganization of the Canadian Religious Conference to reflect the mission and dynamism of religious life in Canada.
The logo illustrates the mission and dynamism of the CRC. It underlines the commitment of religious to build the kingdom of justice and peace. The movement created symbolises the prophetic action of the CRC, and implies the confidence of religious to embrace new ways of being.
The logo is fresh and new and, like the CRC, it strives for continuity. It reminds us to step forward with faith in the future and pride in our heritage. The colour blue symbolises our presence from ocean to ocean, our link with the cosmos and the desire of the CRC to guard the integrity of Creation. Blue is also associated with the waters of Baptism, which the CRC Mission Statement refers to: "Baptized in Christ, consecrated publicly to God in religious life, we are called to be a prophetic sign, in the world and in the Church."
The earthy brown recalls our roots and basic mission, and our connectedness to the Earth. It also symbolises light and vitality and evokes the partnership that we wish to maintain with other groups that share in the mission to transform our world. Overall, the logo reminds us of our great hope.

Syria Conflict Enters Fourth Year As Some Food Reaches Previously Inaccessible Areas
Published on 10 March 2014
Copyright: WFP/Dina El-Kassaby
GENEVA/AMMAN – In the last few weeks, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) succeeded in reaching many areas of Syria that were inaccessible for months. But as the conflict enters its fourth year, delivering food to people in desperate need remains a challenge.
Over the last few days, WFP reached Al-Houle in rural Homs for the first time since May 2013 and delivered food for 20,000 people. Trucks carrying food rations for another 20,000 people arrived in Ar-Raqqa Governorate for the first time in six months.
Locally-negotiated ceasefires allowed convoys into areas of Rural Damascus and rural Dara'a. Five WFP trucks delivered food for 17,500 people in camps for displaced people north of Idlib. Among the camps were some that had not been reached directly by WFP since the start of the conflict in 2011.
However, worsening security is creating setbacks in some areas, such as the Northeast governorate of Deir-Ezzor. Although an inter-agency convoy delivered food and other humanitarian supplies to 27,000 people there last month, a sudden deterioration in security on the roads leading to Deir-Ezzor is preventing the dispatch of more food in March.
"One-off convoys into besieged areas can provide temporary relief, but WFP still needs proper and sustained access to people to provide life-saving assistance and also to assess the scale of the needs," said Amir Abdulla, WFP's Deputy Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer, in Geneva.
In February, WFP assisted 3.7 million people in Syria and more than 1.5 million refugees in neighbouring countries. The UN food agency aims to reach as many as 4.25 million people inside Syria every month, but insecurity is leaving half a million people without food assistance.
The operations are financed entirely by voluntary contributions, and funding is also a challenge, said Abdulla.
"It would be tragic to secure more access in Syria but to then find ourselves in a situation where we do not have the required funds to assist hungry people who have long been under siege. We certainly hope that donors will step up their contributions and new ones will come forward," said Muhannad Hadi, WFP Regional Coordinator for the Syria crisis, in Amman.
A lack of timely funding has forced WFP to reduce the size of this month's food basket for vulnerable families inside Syria by 20 percent. As a result, families are receiving fewer nutrients than they require to stay healthy (1,530 kilocalories, compared to the planned 1,920 kilocalories.)
This year, WFP has appealed for US$2 billion to feed around 7 million Syrians displaced in their country or who have fled to neighbouring countries. WFP needs US$309 million to cover the food needs of vulnerable Syrians until the end of May.
"We are grateful to the generosity of our donors, whose contributions have enabled us to save lives, but our emergency operation is running hand-to-mouth and our funding has now reached dangerous levels," said Hadi.
Delays in funding have an impact on operations, as it takes close to three months from the moment WFP purchases food until it arrives in Syria and is dispatched for distribution.
Funding is also essential for WFP operations in neighbouring countries, where over 1.5 million Syrian refugees depend on the UN food agency's food vouchers. WFP often uses vouchers to provide assistance where markets are functioning but people cannot afford to buy food. Vouchers provide people with more choice; they can buy fresh foods such as fruit, vegetables and milk that are not normally included in conventional food rations.
In 2013, through the voucher programme, WFP injected over US$400 million into the local economies of neighbouring countries. WFP plans to expand its voucher assistance to reach over 2.9 million Syrian refugees this year.

WFP is the world's largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. On average, WFP reaches more than 90 million people with food assistance in 80 countries each year.

When the Ravens inked their punter, Sam Koch, to a 5-year extension worth $12.5 million, they were giving a nod of confidence to the right leg of the former Nebraska Cornhusker. Many people would group Sam Koch in the "elite" category for punters, and he is paid as such, being accredited by different sources as the sixth-to-eighth highest paid punter in the league. And a brief look at his statistics shows a steady player with not too many drastic changes. A detailed analysis, however, raises a few red flags.
Last year, Sam Koch punted 90 times, which is four punts more than his previous career high from his rookie season in '06. However, it is more fair to analyze Koch's performance when compared to his 2010 season, which was the main motivating factor behind his five-year extension. In 2010, Koch punted the ball 81 times for a net average of 39.2 yards per kick. When looking at the previous season, Koch's 90 punts averaged 38.9 net yards, so therefore, he must not have been much worse, no?
In 2010, of Koch's 81 punts, 39 were inside the 20. That is just under half of his overall kicks.
In 2013, of Koch's 90 punts, 27 were inside the 20. That isn't even a third of his kicks.
Before we heap all of the blame on Koch's shoulders, the offense in 2010 and the offense in 2013 were very different. The 2010 Ravens finished the season at 12-4, largely thanks to their two-headed monster at running back. Ray Rice and Willis McGahee combined for exactly 1,600 yards rushing and ten touchdowns. Many football gurus will tell you that one of the keys to controlling the field position battle is a consistent running game, and the Ravens certainly had that. As a result, many of Sam Koch's 81 punts in 2010 came near midfield, giving him more or less the ideal situation for pinning an opponent deep. Conversely, in 2013, the Ravens offense featured virtually no running game, or offense for that matter, and they would frequently leave the field after a three-and-out, leaving Sam Koch with little opportunity.
Even still, it seemed a couple of years ago, every punt off of Koch's foot would be a booming, monstrous offering. This past year, there seemed to be more instances that left you scratching your head than before.
One specific example came in Week 8 against the Browns, when Koch shanked a 25-yard punt in the fourth quarter that allowed the Browns to get into field goal range. Field position is very much the unsung hero of a successful team, and there were times where the confidence in Koch felt a bit shaky. Harbaugh had this to say about Koch midseason:
"Sam will be the first to tell you that he's just got to play more consistently in games with punts, especially in critical situations," John Harbaugh stated on Monday. "Sam has punted really well in practice. He's punted really well most of the time throughout the course of the season. But one or two not-so-good punts in a game, those are the things that cause you problems."
That came the Monday after that Cleveland game, and for the record, Koch's statistics improved from that point forward. Through the first eight games, Koch's net average was just 34.9, so he had to have finished strongly in order to get his final tally up to 39.8. This is probably partially attributable to both Koch getting out of the funk coinciding with the Ravens offense starting to show signs of life after the return of Dennis Pitta.
Whatever caused Koch's downtrodden beginning, he isn't exactly a player who can afford to play poorly for too long. After his contract extension in 2011, his base salary has climbed up to $2.2 million for this season, which along with his 2014 bonus of $600,000 puts his actual cap number for the coming season at $2.8 million.
Coming into the offseason, many speculated that Sam Koch would go the way of Vonta Leach and Jameel McClain, as the Ravens would have saved $1.6 million in cap space if they cut ties with their punter. Normally, if a team is looking for places to cut costs, the easiest decisions may come in the special teams area. Not only are the players not normally paid in such large amounts, there is often a very wide pool of similar players who are willing to play for less. As a result, many were surprised to find Sam Koch still on the roster at this juncture.
John Harbaugh has stepped out in support of his veteran punter:
"Sam is our punter. I've seen a lot of speculation about that being a cap casualty, and I don't anticipate that being the case at all.
"Sam doesn't make that much, for one thing," Harbaugh said, adding with a grin, "just ask him."
As you can see, Harbaugh — at least publicly — is backing Koch. But, that doesn't mean that behind the scenes, the Ravens aren't entertaining more options. These are some tweets from the Senior Bowl in January, which granted, came out before the NFL had announced the increases to the salary cap, but still illustrate a latent desire to add talent at the position:
Ravens met with several players at Senior Bowl, including big Mississippi State guard Gabe Jackson (6-4, 335), Alabama punter Cody Mandell
— Aaron Wilson (@RavensInsider) January 20, 2014
Ravens met with Auburn kicker-punter Cody Parkey
— Aaron Wilson (@RavensInsider) January 20, 2014
If you all recall, after the 2010 season, the Ravens gave a similar five-year extension to one of their special team standouts. Billy Cundiff was fresh off of a season where he set the NFL record for touchbacks, and it didn't look like he would slow down anytime soon. One year later, he missed the biggest field goal in Ravens history.
After the miss in Foxborough, John Harbaugh had this to say about their recently inked special teamer:
"If we can get a kicker that is capable of competing with Billy, we'll do it," Harbaugh said. "We want competition for pretty much every position. I say that so I'm not ruling anything out, but Billy is our kicker, and I would anticipate Billy will be our kicker for the opening game of the season."
We all know how that turned out for Cundiff, and an undrafted free agent won the training camp battle convincingly, never looking back. Might the same fate be in Sam Koch's future?
"Sam is our punter … Sam's a heck of a punter," Harbaugh said, "although we're not ruling out bringing competition in. We can bring competition in there, just like a lot of other positions. … Sam will have to still be the best punter here. We're going to look to bring in the best punter we can, just like every other position."
Sound familiar? Let's see who plays the role of Justin Tucker in this upcoming punter battle, one that will surely be interesting to monitor.

It doesn't matter if you are a novice when it comes to landscaping or if you are already the owner of a magnificent landscape because you can always learn new tricks. The more information you have, the better you will be at it. This article contains the information that you need to get good or better at landscaping.
One of the most important tips one can use with regards to landscaping, is to come up with a plan before you start doing anything. It is important to carefully consider exactly what you want your yard to look like,and then make a detailed plan as to what steps you will need to take.
If you plan to incorporate flowers into your landscaping plans, you might want to consider layering them. If you plant them so that the tallest are in the back, and the smallest in the front you allow for all flowers to be easily visible from the primary view. If you face the largest to the north, you are also allowing for optimal growth.
Are you considering selling your home anytime soon? In comparison with other projects, investing in the landscape of your home can easily generate returns of up to 200 percent. Your front lawn should be your main focus if you want your home to have curb appeal. Your backyard should be your focus for a creatively designed living area outdoors.
Talk with a professional prior to starting your own landscaping project. Talking with a qualified professional, and following his or advice, can help you to avoid making any expensive mistakes. If you are new to landscaping or are inexperienced, this expenditure may be of great help to you.
It should now be clear that just like any other subject, the more you learn about landscaping, the easier that you can apply all of the information you learn. Use what you learned here and apply outside information, then you should have a good amount of knowledge of how to landscape your home. yard maintenance companies

The Perfect Digg Bait
The other day I was browsing the Digg homepage and noticed something really weird. It seems Craigslist made the homepage for an article that was about "[why geeks and nerds make the best boyfriends](http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/sfo/66795671.html)" and to top it off it did really well.
The date shows this article was written on April 3, 2005 so it is probably safe to say that it is not "digg bait" and it was written for fun. The article contains no sales pitch and seems like it was written by a geek. The important thing to take from this is that if random stories such as ones from Craigslist or ones about [Kevin Federline](http://www.pronetadvertising.com/articles/getting-on-digg-is-federleezee.html) can make the Digg homepage, then you can too with a little creativity.

nsCellMap method and expect a damage rect that is in nsCellMap
coordinates, it then adds the start row index for the row group to that.
The problem is that nsCellMap sometimes decides to "rebuild everything"
and then the returned damage is in global table coordinates [1] so
adding to that creates a bogus damage rect.
(I fixed it by using a 'mDidRebuild' flag and skipping the row group
adjustment when it's true.)
I've also fixed a few other minor problems and added numerous assertions
for the damage rect setup. This patch passes all regression tests
(without triggering any of the added assertions).
Note that the new assertions are stricter then the old one and that
I've also removed the old "error correction" code (CheckFixDamageArea).
Are you ready for the ultimate test for this? There is one bug that kept me busy for two years.... bug 339128. Does your patch silence the 'ASSERTION: invalid BC damage area' there? The reason to ask for this is, that reftests are blind to this. However this is not a requirement just curiosity.
Mats you write in this patch: "XXX fix nsCellMap::InsertRows() instead"
Why aren't you doing just this? Isn't the patch wallpaper?
Having a cellmap:: settting the damage area without asking for startrowindex but setting a 0 seems obviously wrong.
That said, I fully agree with your analysis, this is certainly broken.

Patch rev. 2
After running stress tests for a few days I think this is a better patch
for now. First, there was a problem in AddBCDamageArea() when multiple
mutations occurred before the table got a chance to reflow - the stored
damage area can be larger than the current table size and that would
trigger an assertion. I've added code that clamps that area and not
assert about it since it's not really an error.
Secondly, I'm leaving GetRowSpanForNewCell() as is for now. I still
think the 2 should be 1 there, but the complexities involved in making
the code not depend on this error goes beyond my knowledge of the
table code. I can post details in a separate bug if you're interested.
As before, this patch passes all regression tests without triggering
the added assertions. It's also robust against bug 339128, but I did
find one case that triggers the "vertical damage extends outside table"
assertion. I'll file that as a followup bug with a minimal testcase.
(the testcase currently triggers "Invalid BC damage area").
To sum up, the patch fixes most of the cases that triggers the assertion
but not all, and the assertions are now stricter than before.
(I have a few testcases for edge cases that I've found along the
way and I'll attach them shortly so we can add them as crash tests.)

Glad to hear it's working as intended ;-)
(In reply to comment #5)

> Why aren't you doing just this? Isn't the patch wallpaper?
I'm just pointing out what I think are existing wallpapers -
nsCellMap should be responsible for setting the damage extent there.
However, I think they can be investigated/fixed separately.
(I can remove the comments if you don't want them.)

Mats, sorry for being so slow but I had the dynamic BC stuff to go into 1.9.1 and also some real live. Further this is not one liner that is obviously correct or not. I hope I can review this within the next two weeks. The main concern is that I would want those ("I think they can be investigated/fixed separately.") fixed first and my stomach guess is that this would make parts of the rebuild obsolete.

Right, I guess we could move the macro to a header file so it can be reused.
> Why do you encapsulate assertions with #ifdef DEBUG?
I wrapped the call sites to make it clear to the reader. An alternative
is to name them NS_ASSERT_NON_NEGATIVE, NS_ASSERT_WITHIN_TABLE_BOUNDS
or some such and skip the #ifdef DEBUG.

Patch rev. 2
I would like to see a complete patch that compiles. This one certainly does not as it removes http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/search?string=SetBCDamageArea
but does not change the other callers of SetBCDamageArea in nsTableCellFrame.cpp, nsTableRowFrame.cpp etc.
(I pulled this into my tree to compile it....)
Second at all places where mDidRebuild = PR_TRUE;
I would like to get the FirstRowIndex of the cellmap set as the second argument to SetDamageArea instead of 0.
And then comes the master question once this is done, why we need the mDidRebuild variable.
Please notice that the while loop at nsTableCellMap::RebuildConsideringCells
is completely bogus one could far more efficient break once the match is found. If there would be two matches then the sibling structure would be certainly damaged at cellMap = cellMap->GetNextSibling();
that rowcount += stuff is just hiding what is really going on.
I see lots of occurrences of this assertion simply by loading TinderboxPushLog <http://tests.themasta.com/tinderboxpushlog/> using a current trunk build of Minefield on OS X.
*** Bug 605807 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Another way to invoke it - the new graph server:
I'm going to try to revive this fix (if it makes sense once reviewing it); or otherwise look into the root cause if this patch and analysis is no longer relevant. Taking bug, at least for now.

Fix invalid BC damage area assertion (un-bitrot patch)
You should use NS_MAX now, not PR_MAX. You missed a couple of PR_TRUE/FALSE.
(other than that, I haven't really reviewed the code)
Did you address Bernd's comments in comment 12?
Thus far I merely un-bitrotted the patch and updated callers to SetBCDamageArea(). I'll fix the PR_blahs I missed, and look to address bernd's comments.
If you want to take this back, I'm fine with that - I poked my head into it because I happened to run into the bug and saw there was an almost-done patch, then un-bitrotted it when the devtools people mentioned there were warping other areas of the code to avoid this assertion.
Mats, bernd: so far as addressing bernd's comment 12 above, I believe I understand the issue, but to properly address it *and* be sure, I'd need a better understanding of the CellMap code and RebuildConsideringCells/Rows. I'll update the patch for the other issues, and if one of you could look at mDidRebuild and RebuildConsideringCells(), I think the patch will be in good shape for consideration. I think the DevTools guys would appreciate this getting fixed.
Created attachment 569967 [details] [diff] [review]
Fix invalid BC damage area assertion (un-bitrot patch)
fixed PR_MAX/PR_TRUE issues
I would prefer to replace
nsRect damageArea(0, 0, GetColCount(), GetRowCount());
with the SetFullBCDamageArea(); that is introduced in this patch.
In general this patch lacks comments for the cellmap stuff.
I would prefer instead of the global variable passing that is happening now a argument to be passed to the nsCellMap routines if the damageArea is relative to the cellmap or the entire table is covered by the damageArea.
This would go along with comment 5 and remove the XXX comments. We now know the problem, why should we leave comments and that will not be fixable without digging deep into this bug.
Bernd's comments in comment 12 and comment 23 indicates he wants major changes to this
patch. It's unlikely I'll do that in near future so disowning for now.

This is what I wanted from Mats, and I still believe that Mats was at 90% and gave prematurely up.

2. remove the member variable to track if the setting was done correctly by just setting it correctly

>Why use a signed type? I'd prefer if all of these were PRUint32.
I would rather make the
PRUint32 rgStartRowIndex = 0;
a signed type now, as all other variables involved in setting the damageArea are signed and use differences and assert on being not negative (see setDamageArea). I would like to avoid a mixup of signed and unsigned types. We are talking about more than 10 of variables plus the consumers of the cellmap, which need to change.
> ... all other variables involved in setting the damageArea are signed
They should all be unsigned IMHO, but feel free to use a signed rgStartRowIndex
for now. Please file a follow-up bug to change them all to PRUint32.
This is now blocking bug 704132 ... here is a reproducible test case:
1. Apply the patch from bug 704132 to a debug version of Firefox
2. Click Firefox -> Web Developer -> Inspect
3. Click on any page element
4. Click the Style button (bottom right of the screen)
5. Click the Properties button (top of the screen above the style panel's search box)
6. Uncheck "Only user styles"
7. Check "Only user styles"
The assertion is raised numerous times. In tests they are logged with a stack trace and because of the large number of assertions the tests time out.
there is a not reviewed change to reftest.list that made try angry
reftest debug ok
android broken why?

This push hit a jsreftest shutdown crash with
firefox-bin: cairo-hash.c:199: _cairo_hash_table_destroy: Assertion `hash_table->live_entries == 0' failed.
which I hadn't seen before, and haven't seen since. Philor, any chance this rings a bell?
We don't even use a separate libcairo, do we?
please file a separate bug for the reftest crash if related (unless this needs a backout)

Students in the College of Science can apply for a scholarship funded by a $100,000 endowment donated to encourage students to consider careers in education.
The fund, which was donated by Don and Rebecca Reese, provides two students with a $2,000 scholarship every year.
"This scholarship is one way that Rebecca and I have chosen to show our appreciation for the educational opportunities we received through the public education system in (Utah) and for the many caring and hardworking teachers and professors who taught us," Don Reese said in a statement.
Reese, a dermatologist in Utah who graduated from the U in chemistry and from the U's medical school, donated the money to the College of Science last year.
David Page, a senior in biology secondary education, received the first Don and Rebecca Reese Endowed Scholarship last year to help him reach his goal of teaching high school biology. Page used the money to pay his tuition this year. He plans to graduate in 2010.
The U needs to encourage students to teach science and math in secondary schools, said Pierre Sokolsky, dean of the College of Science.
"Currently, there is a shortfall in middle school and high school teachers," he said.
He said Utah really needs another 200 teachers every year.
The scholarships are awarded to juniors, seniors and graduate students who are committed to teaching science and math in Utah schools.
To be eligible for the scholarship, a student must be a full-time undergraduate at the U majoring in the sciences or enrolled in the College of Science Masters of Science Degree Program for Secondary School Teachers in Science and Mathematics.
Students who have tuition-waiver scholarships are not eligible, said Jeff Driggs, director of development for the College of Science.
"(The scholarship) will encourage more interest in becoming a teacher in public education," Driggs said.
Driggs said the scholarship is a reward for students who have chosen a teaching profession despite the limited income.
Interested students need to send in the application with two letters of recommendation and a two-page essay describing their career objectives and goals and why they want to teach.
The scholarship is part of Sokolsky's vision for colleges and universities in Utah.
Sokolsky said he believes higher education institutions in Utah such as the U should produce more science and math teachers for primary and secondary school systems in Utah.
Sokolosky said that if the U provides quality teachers for K-12 education, more elementary and junior high school students will take an interest in science.
The U is proactive in research, and should show stronger interest in preparing teachers to educate younger generations, Sokolsky said.
The deadline for the scholarship is Feb. 22.
For more information about the scholarship, call 801-581-6958 or visit the College of Science Web site at www.science.utah.edu.

Dr Arthur Herman, THANK YOU A MILLION times!
My Understanding of Human Caused Global Warming
The IPCC (Inter GOVERNMENTAL Panel on Climate Change) says the earth's temperature has increased by 0.8 degree centigrade in 100 years! Does the earth have a single temperature that varies little like the human body of 37 degree centigrade? No! At the same instance, the range of the temperature difference between Antarctica and Sahara is 100 degree centigrade! How does this difference in temperature of 100 degree centigrade at a given moment compare with the IPCC's change of 0.8 degree centigrade in 100 years?
The atmosphere consists of 0.003% of carbon dioxide (Weather, Burroughs & et.al, 2007, The Five Mile Press, P24). The IPCC says carbon dioxide has increased by 35% since the industrial revolution, which makes the human contribution to an increase in carbon dioxide of 0.001% in the atmosphere. Is it reasonable to say that the observed climate change is caused by this extremely minuscule change in carbon dioxide instead of variations in the pattern of atmospheric and ocean circulation, variation in the amount of solar energy that reaches the earth, and variation in the earths orbit around the sun?
Climate changes! For example, the United States' temperature was colder in the 1910s, warmer in the 1930s, and colder in the 1960s. We have to adapt to climate change, not try the impossible task of changing it. I agree that we must reduce smog, as it is unhealthy for HUMAN life. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, as plants use it to make their food.
Some say that future wars will be caused by the scarcity of water. Do they mean that the earth leaks water through some unknown hole to outer space? Is it not possible to buy water from those who have it?
Some say that they can predict long-range climates (no one will check their prediction) but not short-range ones. This is like saying that if they launch a rocket the accuracy of their prediction of its trajectory improves as the rocket moves away from the point of launch! They have also come with the idea that climate change prediction is based on probability, not certainty. What shirking of ones responsibility!
Human caused global warming is mysticism, not science.
Unfortunately, we are being forced to be part of this futile idea of trying to stop climate change. Have the mystics won the war?

Viewer's Guide: Iowa looks for marquee win vs. Michigan State
Monday got things off to a great start, with two matchups between top-25 teams. Duke downed Pittsburgh, and Bedlam saw Oklahoma take care of Oklahoma State. Tuesday brings another marquee matchup, this one in the Big Ten. Plus, some key bubble teams in the SEC and Big 12 need wins.
Note: All times are Eastern, and the rankings are according to the AP Poll.
Best game: No. 7 Michigan State at No. 15 Iowa (7 p.m., ESPN). Showdown in the Big Ten between two teams that have the pieces to make a Final Four run. Michigan State saw its 11-game winning streak snapped on Saturday by Michigan, and the Spartans are still hampered by injuries. Branden Dawson is out another four weeks, and Adreian Payne is highly questionable for Tuesday. Iowa bounced back from its road loss at Michigan with a throttling of Northwestern, and now the Hawkeyes look for a marquee win. They also welcome Ohio State and Michigan into town next week. Both teams like to push the ball in transition, and the bench and foul battle will be big. Iowa is one of the deepest teams in the country, while Michigan State has seen its depth take a hit due to injuries.
Second-best game: No. 11 Kentucky at LSU (9 p.m., ESPN). Talk about NBA talent up front. Both teams are loaded with pro prospects in the frontcourt, as Kentucky has Julius Randle and Willie Cauley-Stein – while LSU counters with Johnny O'Bryant, Jordan Mickey and Jarell Martin. But do the Tigers have the guards to take down Kentucky? Andre Stringer and Anthony Hickey need to be disciplined with the ball, while the big men have to hold their own on the glass and also stay out of foul trouble. LSU badly needs the win for its NCAA tournament resume. The Tigers are 3-4 since starting the season 9-2. Moreover, after Tuesday, there are only four more games against top-100 teams at KenPom.
Another one to watch: Missouri at Arkansas (7 p.m., ESPNU). Are one of these teams going to be that third NCAA tournament team out of the SEC? If Arkansas never had to leave Bud Walton Arena, the Razorbacks would have a legitimate shot. As it stands, though, they need to hold serve at home – and then start winning games on the road. The first part can be accomplished on Tuesday. On the other side, Missouri is entering what amounts to a make-or-break six-game stretch. The Tigers have Arkansas (away), Kentucky (home), Florida (away), Ole Miss (away), Arkansas (home), Tennessee (home).
Guaranteed win: Loyola (Chicago) at No. 4 Wichita State (8 p.m., ESPN3). Next week, Wichita State will be tested. The Shockers have road trips to Indiana State and Northern Iowa. But that's next week. This week, Wichita State will roll. Loyola won't be much of a test on Tuesday, and neither will Evansville on Saturday. Wichita State will be 23-0 come next Monday.
Potential upset: Virginia at Notre Dame (9 p.m., ESPNU). Virginia is playing some of the best basketball in the country, and the Cavaliers have a tough trip to Pittsburgh this weekend. Will they be caught looking ahead to the Panthers? Notre Dame's season has gone off the rails since beating Duke at home, as the Irish have lost five of six. However, they are still tough to beat at home and have players like Eric Atkins who are good enough to pull off the surprise.
Three other things to keep an eye on:
- Huge contrast of styles in St. John's at No. 20 Creighton (9 p.m., FOX Sports 1). Are the Red Storm disciplined enough to stay with the Bluejays' shooters?
- Baylor needs to bounce back in a hurry, as the Bears are 1-5 in the Big 12 and have lost four in a row. West Virginia visits on Tuesday (7 p.m., ESPN2).
- Utah State nearly took down San Diego State on Saturday; now, New Mexico comes to down (11:05 p.m., ESPNU).
Other games to watch:
- SMU at South Florida (7 p.m., ESPNEWS)
- Texas Tech at Kansas State (8 p.m., ESPN3)

Rate Equations in Semiconductor Electronics by J. E. Carroll
Book DescriptionThis book presents a novel approach to the teaching of dynamic aspects of the operation of semiconductor and opto-electronic devices. Such dynamic aspects often determine the steady state conditions. Also, the dynamical operation of such devices is of increasing importance as modern methods of communicating data and information require electronic devices that switch electrical or optical signals at ever faster rates. The author discusses the rates at which electrons and holes can reach equilibrium, the rates at which transistors and diodes can switch, and the rates at which electrons and holes can interact with photons, and with protons. He also applies the rate equations in a unified way to models of light-emitting diodes, injection lasers and photodiodes. Finally, the author discusses more-advanced topics on the photon statistics of injection lasers, mode-locking and the application of rate equations and Maxwell's equations to opto-electronic devices.

How to thaw frozen chicken
Defrosting a frozen bird requires a bit of care – zapping it in the microwave can lead to dry, over-cooked parts, and thawing in the sink takes patience and a keen eye to keep the water cool. Here are our best tips from the Canadian Living Test Kitchen to thaw a frozen bird safely, plus, find out the fastest way to get cooked chicken for a recipe or onto the table.
• Never thaw chicken at room temperature.
• Thaw wrapped chicken on rimmed baking sheet or tray in refrigerator, allowing 5 hours per pound (500 g).
• Or thaw chicken in sealed packages, in cold water, changing water every hour and allowing 1 hour per pound (500 g).
• Once thawed in refrigerator or cold water, refrigerate chicken and cook within 2 days. Do not refreeze thawed chicken.
• You can thaw chicken in microwave oven on defrost. Chicken should be loosely covered and pieces turned, separated and rotated several times as chicken thaws. Allow about 5 minutes per pound (500 g) and cook the chicken immediately.
Tip: Need a cooked chicken in a hurry? A quick way to get cooked chicken for a recipe is to buy a rotisserie chicken from the local grocery store. A 3 lb (1.5 kg) rotisserie chicken provides 2-1/2 to 3 cups (625 to 750 mL) boneless skinless meat.

Whitefish Bay - Dunkin Donuts will be the first tenant in the new retail building under construction adjacent to PNC Bank. The restaurant will occupy the east end of the building at the corner of Silver Spring Drive and Bay Ridge Avenue.
John Clark is the vice president of operations for the Milwaukee Coffee Brewing Co., which owns the franchise for Dunkin Donuts in this area. Clark said the village's Dunkin Donuts will have upscale finishes and signals the re-entry of the restaurant into the Milwaukee market. His group opened a Dunkin Donuts in Menomonee Falls earlier this year.
Two other Dunkin Donuts in the Milwaukee area are not part of this franchise, Clark said.
Some residents who live on Bay Ridge Avenue raised concerns, citing congestion during the early morning hours, the prime service time for Dunkin Donuts and also the drop off time for Dominican High School and the addition of another coffee business to those already in the community.
Pam and Paul Opichka are the closest residential neighbors. In addition to the congestion, they questioned the proposed opening hour of 5 a.m.
"It's too early," said Paul Opichka. "There is no reason to go to 5 a.m."
Some felt the fast food reputation of the restaurant would be a better fit for Port Washington Road.
George Keppler, a business owner, said he supports all businesses but didn't think the business fit in with the historic nature of the business section or was the type of business the village should seek.
"I fear it will draw other 'like' businesses," he said. "I feel bad for Dunkin Donuts to say this won't draw any higher-end retailers."
Clark said the restaurant wants to focus on coffee and offers a menu that has heart-healthy choices.
The menu includes sandwiches and breakfast wraps.
The restaurant use is allowed in that location under the village code, according to Assistant Manager Matt Schuenke.
The Plan Commission approved the plan, which includes indoor seating for 21 and outdoor patio seating for 16. In order to conform with the village parking requirements, Brian Randall, an attorney representing the franchise, said three seats would be eliminated.
The business will be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. Commissioners said they want to be consistent with the opening hours granted to other coffee shops in the village.
The Architectural Review Board must approve the sign for the business, but Randall said the sign will meet village code requirements.
The building is currently under construction and Clark said he was not able to predict when the restaurant would open.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - June 9, 2011, New Braunfels, Texas 10 I Thursday, June 9, 2011 | herald-zeitung.COM Nowitzki gets healthy for Game 5 DALLAS (AP) Dirk Nowitzki went home from his latest dramatic performance in the NBA finals, took a shower then slurped some chicken soup and hot tea. After a good night's rest, he returned to work Weones-day still dealing with a slight temperature and the sniffles, so he t(K)k it easy. For a few hours. Nowitzki said he was planning to he back in the gym later Wednesday to put up some shots and "at least get the body used to sweating a little bit." With only two or three games left this postseason, Nowitzki figures he will soon have plenty of time to deal with a sinus infection and everything else that ails him. So he's determined to put whatever energy he has left into getting the two wins he and the Dallas Mavericks need to become NBA champions for the first time. "At this stage, after playing eight, nine months on a high level ... nobody is completely healthy," Nowitzki said. "So it's time to fight through some stuff." Nowitzlci is fighting as hard as anyone. He tore the tendon at the tip of his left middle finger during Game 1, then led a winning rally at the end of Game 2, even scoring two File photo Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki (41) is fighting through a sinus infection that saw him play Tuesday with a slight temperature. of his final three baskets using his wounded hand. He scored Dallas' final 12 points in Game 3, but missed his final shot at the buzzer when he could've forced overtime. The morning of Game 4, he showed up for a shootaround "looking like a ghost," said Donnie Nelson, the team's president of basketball operations. Club officials sent him to the locker room, then to his house with all sorts of medicine. Before the game, no one knew what to expect. Of course Now itzki was going to try playing. But how long would he last? How good would he be? All seemed well when Nowitzki opened the game by hitting three straight shots. Then he missed 10 of 11. He also misfired on a free throw, ending his second run of 39 in a row this postseason. By then, the secret about Now-itzki's illness was out. He was wheezing, coughing and doing all he could to fight the effects of a 101-degree fever. Nowitzki scored 10 of his 21 points and grabbed five of his 11 rebounds while the Mavs pulled off another late comeback, erasing a nine-point deficit with 10:12 left. This rally kept them from falling into the black hole of a 3-1 deficit, instead putting them right back in the thick of things at 2-2. Comparisons instantly were made to Michael Jordan scoring 38 points in Game 5 of the 1997 finals while battling a fever of 103. Nowitzki has plenty of company on the injured list. Backup center Brendan Haywood lasted only three minutes in Game 4 because of a hip injury that kept him out the previous game. He said Wednesday "we'll see" when asked about his chances of playing in Game 5. NFL, players meet for a second day in New York Sooners don't want USC's vacated title NEW YORK (AP) NFL owners and players have met for a second straight day in New York, with Judge Arthur Boylan joining Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith. The league and the players association issued a joint statement Wednesday saying the "confidential discussions" are part of ongoing mediation and are "expected to continue" in the near future. It is the second time in a week that the sides got together. Last week, they met near Chicago, then headed to the federal appeals court in St. Louis to argue the legality of the lockout, which began Marcii 12 and remains in force. A person familiar with the talks said the owners and players will meet again "soon and often. That means in the near future, not in a month or anything like that." Goodell told Buccaneers ticket holders Wednesday that "any time we're talking that's a positive because I believe both sides want to find solutions." By JEFF LATZKE AP College Football Writer TULSA, Okla. (AP) Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops won't be laying claim to the BCS championship that Southern California won after beating the Sooners in the 2005 Orange Bowl but had to vacate this week. Stoops said Wednesday night that the Sooners are "not claiming any championships" after the BCS stripped the Tro jans of their national title for NCAA rules infractions involving extra benefits received by star Reggie Bush. Oklahoma was undefeated until meeting USC in the Orange Bowl but got blown out 55-19. Auburn and Utah also finished that season unbeaten. Southern Cal will retain the title it won from The Associated Press that season. ► FINALS NOTEBOOK Heat-Mavs having one of closest Finals ever DALLAS (AP) The Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat keep taking their NBA finals games down to the final minute. The difference in the last three games has been a single shot, with each decided three points or less. "It's just a slugfest right now," Heat forward Chris Bosh said Wednesday. And a rarity- Bosh There have been only two other NBA finals where three consecutive games were decided by no more than three points. And those were back in 1947 and 1948 — the first championship series ever played. Dallas won 86-83 on Tuesday night to even this series at two games apiece. Game 5 is today at 8 p.m. on ABC in Dallas before the series shifts back to Miami. The Heat had won Game 3 88-86 after the Mavericks' 95-93 victory in Game 2. When the Philadelphia Warriors won the first championship series in 1947, the final three games were decided by a combined seven points. There were three more close games in the middle of the 1948 series that the Warriors lost to the Baltimore Bullets.
