Even more of Magna's historic Main Street will be spruced up, funded by a newly secured federal grant.
Salt Lake County will receive a $791,809 "Livable Streets" grant from the Federal Highway Administration to extend roadside amenities street lights as well as curb, gutter and sidewalk along Main Street (2700 South) from 8800 West eastward to about 8300 West.
"Those who live in and visit Magna will see lasting effects on the vitality of this community," County Mayor Peter Corroon said Wednesday at a news conference in the new Magna Library, a linchpin in the Main Street beautification project.
In 2005, as one of the first initiatives of his administration, Corroon launched the makeover of Magna's Main Street as a means of attracting more people and businesses to the historic mining town.
"First thing we want to do is stick a shovel into Main Street," he said in March of that year. Since then, the county invested more than $1.2 million into reconstructing 2700 South down to the ground from 8800 West on west to the town limits.
Sidewalks were widened on both sides of the street, curb and gutter were installed, parking turnouts were figured into the road design, pedestrian crosswalks too. Ramps were added to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. "We made it more user friendly," said County Public Works Operations Director M. Leon Barrett.
Now that the county is one of 83 recipients of the federal grant (out of 600 applicants), it's time to extend those amenities east along the main entryway to the business district.
"We intend to make it look as similar as possible," said county transportation engineer Andrea Pullos. "It is one community and this will make it more cohesive. We want it to look like one place."
Library Manager Trish Hull, also a Magna resident, said the improvements made to the town's west end have generated steady foot traffic to her facility, which serves 20,000 customers a month.
"To unify the community, we needed a place to identify as the center of town," she said. "This [road beautification project] gives Main Street that feel. Businesses won't come here if there's not a nice, attractive street to be on."
Dan Colosimo, a second-generation proprietor of Colosimo's Standard Market, said the earlier roadwork gave merchants and the community a boost.
"I can't tell you how many visitors have come through who say, 'Nice little town. It reminds me of home,' " he said. "If the county hadn't done up the streets the way they did, we'd be in shambles here. It's an honor that they invest that much money into the infrastructure. All we can say is thanks."
At another Magna institution near the east end of Main Street, Peel Funeral Home, funeral director Rick Zern welcomed news that improvements are headed his way.
"Any kind of upgrades we make on Magna Main Street enhance the opportunity to get more and better businesses, which brings more people into the community," he said.
Pullos said the county now will prepare an environmental design and buy a few small land parcels before seeking bids on the project next fall. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2014.

'Livable Streets'
The Federal Highway Administration said its $792,000 grant for improvements to west 2700 South, Magna's Main Street, will "create a complete system connecting two redevelopment areas, multiple public facilities, private sector housing and commercial construction in Magna."

college football • Jordan High quarterback Austin Kafentzis has given a verbal commitment to play for Wisconsin and former Utah State coach Gary Andersen. Kafentzis, who led the Beetdiggers to a state championship last year as a sophomore, is in Madison for the Badgers' camp and gave his commitment Tuesday, according to his father, Jordan defensive coordinator Kyle Kafentzis.
"He just felt it was the right thing to do," Kyle Kafentzis said. "It was the right place for him." Kafentzis, the top quarterback recruit in the state, had received offers from Utah, BYU, Utah State and Hawaii. He participated in a camp last week at Boise State.
Last month, East High running back Ula Tolutau committed to Wisconsin.
Homicide police visit Hernandez
NFL • State and local police in North Attleborough, Mass., spent hours at the home of New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez on Tuesday night as another group of officers searched an industrial park about a mile away where a body was discovered the day before.
Police at the scene and prosecutors would not comment on the actions while Sports Illustrated, citing an unidentified source, reported that Hernandez was not believed to be a suspect in what was being treated as a possible homicide. The magazine says police have spoken with Hernandez.
Sports Illustrated reports that the link between Hernandez and the case was a rented sport utility vehicle.
Pats' Gronkowski has back surgery
NFL • New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski underwent back surgery Tuesday. The operation was successful, said Drew Rosenhaus, Gronkowski's agent. On May 20, Gronkowski had his fourth surgery on the left forearm that he broke on Nov. 18 while blocking for an extra point in a 59-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts. He broke it again in the Patriots' first playoff game, a 41-28 win over the Houston Texans. Rosenhaus said the fourth surgery was expected to be the last on his forearm.
The Patriots open training camp in late July and start the regular season on Sept. 8 at Buffalo.
In 43 NFL games, Gronkowski has scored 39 touchdowns, 38 on passes and one on a run.

Venus Williams pulls out of Wimbledon
TENNIS • Five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams has pulled out of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament because of a lower back injury. Williams' agent, Carlos Fleming, says Wimbledon was told of her decision Tuesday. Williams, who turned 33 on Monday, was bothered by her back during a first-round loss at the French Open last month, then cited that injury when she and her younger sister Serena withdrew from the doubles competition in Paris. The older Williams played at Wimbledon each of the last 16 years never missing it since her debut in 1997. This year's tournament begins Monday.
• American qualifier Jamie Hampton upset top-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska 7-6 (2), 6-2 Tuesday in the first round at Eastbourne, England.

Samsung Electronics has developed what it claims is the world's thinnest multi-die package, whch measures 0.6mm in height. Designed initially for 32GB densities, the new memory package is just half the thickness of a conventional memory package of eight stacked chips (or dies).
The advanced packaging technology delivers a 40% thinner and lighter memory solution for high-density multimedia handsets and mobile devices, the company said.
The new 0.6mm-thick package, which consists of eight identical dies (called an octa-die package), uses 30nm class, 32Gb NAND flash chips, each measuring just 15micron, to deliver a 32GB NAND solution.
In addition, the new package technology can be adapted to other existing MCPs, configured as system in packages (SiPs), or package on packages (PoPs). The breakthrough technique for 15micron-and-under chip thicknesses will allow for the design of high density solutions with small form factors, the company said.

Rock Hill, S.C. - No. 2 Anderson clawed their way back to sweep all three doubles matches and though Brevard's Scott McCormick and Beau Wills took matches in singles play, the Trojans advanced to the 2011 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Finals on Friday afternoon after their 5-2 victory.
Jerome Branker and Trey Halbauer topped Jarred Fisher and Shane Apps on court no. 3 to open singles action as the Trojans struck first blood in the match, winning 8-4. Brevard held the advantage in both no. 1 and no. 2 doubles, but Anderson was able to rally back, winning both in tiebreakers as Stan Atema and Daniel Gonzalez handed McCormick and Wills their first doubles loss in the 2011 conference season, 9-7 (7-4) and Deni Mehagic and Ilya Zakharov topped Sam MacNeil and Cole Altizer, 9-7 (7-0) to put Anderson up 3-0 after doubles competition.
In singles play, McCormick avenged a loss to Atema earlier in the season, winning on court no. 1, 6-1, 6-2 to give Brevard their first point of the match. Wills followed shortly after with a 6-0, 6-3 straight sets win over Zakharov on court no. 3 to pull the Tornados back within 3-2.
However, Halbauer put the Trojans within one point of clinching with his 6-0, 7-5 victory on court no. 5 and Gonzalez clinched the match for Anderson on court no. 4, defeating Altizer 6-1, 7-5.
The loss likely ends the Tornados season with a 14-8 record and marks the final contest for Brevard's Scott McCormick, Cole Altizer and Shane Apps. Although the three seniors move on to bigger and better things, the future looks bright for Coach Bumgarner and the men's tennis program as they return a pair of All-Conference performers in Beau Wills and Sam MacNeil as Brevard will look to return again to the postseason in the 2012 season.

O'Beirne falsely claimed poll showed 76 percent of people under 50 "like the idea" of private accounts
National Review Washington editor and CNN Capital Gang co-host Kate O'Beirne [1] wrongly claimed that a CNN poll "shows 76 percent of people under age 50 like the idea" of private accounts as part of Social Security. In fact, the poll to which she referred showed no such results, and other recent polls that did break down views on Social Security by age offered data that conflicts with O'Beirne's assertion.
O'Beirne's false claim came on the March 19 edition of The Capital Gang, in response to co-host Mark Shields [2]:
SHIELDS: I would point out if the people in the White House feel so good about the polls, thank goodness they haven't seen the CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, which shows 35 percent approval for the president's handling of the Social Security issue.
O'BEIRNE: And it shows 76 percent of people under age 50 like the idea of the personal accounts, and people above that age won't be affected by them!
While Shields accurately reported that the poll [3] shows that 35 percent of respondents approve "of the way George W. Bush is handling" Social Security, O'Beirne was wrong to claim that according to the poll,"76 percent of people under age 50 like the idea of the personal accounts." The poll's only question concerning private accounts asked respondents: "Which do you think is riskier for average American workers today: investing some of their Social Security taxes in stocks and bonds, or relying on the Social Security system to pay them the current level of benefits when they retire?" Forty-six percent said investing in stock and bonds was riskier; 50 percent said relying on the current Social Security system. Further, USA Today's report on the poll did not break down results by demographic criteria such as age.
Other recent polls also undermine O'Beirne's assertion. A poll [4] conducted February 16-21 by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found that 55 percent of respondents aged 18-54 would invest in private accounts. A summary of the poll, which was titled "Bush Failing in Social Security Push," also reported that actual support for private accounts is 46 percent, and that even among those ages 18-29, the group showing the highest approval for the proposal, support is 68 percent. A Time poll [5] conducted March 15-17 found that only 40 percent of respondents of all ages favor private accounts, while 52 percent oppose them.
A CBS/New York Times poll [6] conducted February 24-28 found that 43 percent "think allowing individuals to invest a portion of their Social Security taxes on their own" is a good idea, while 51 percent think it is a bad idea. And while an ABC News/Washington Post poll [7] conducted March 10-13 found that 56 percent of respondents support "a plan in which people who chose to could invest some of their Social Security contributions in the stock market," it also found that only 37 percent support "Bush's proposals on Social Security," with the greatest support (44 percent) coming from respondents ages 30-39.

The broad smile on Maria Meza's face was all the thanks needed for those who have helped with the Food for Kids program in Long Beach.
Maria beamed as she and her 8-year-old son, Alexander, were handed a bag of groceries by Leticia Keller, the administrative secretary at International Elementary School, 700 Locust Ave. in downtown Long Beach.
The groceries will help Maria, a single mother who is struggling financially, to feed Alexander and her two teenage boys over the weekend.
"Thank you, thank you, gracias," she said repeatedly.
The thanks should go to Team 100, a grass-roots organization of 100 men created last September with the goal of eliminating hunger for elementary school students in Long Beach's low-income areas on weekends. Many students receive free and reduced-price food at school Monday through Friday, but they don't always get healthy food on weekends.
Team 100 is part of the Volunteer Center's Food for Kids program serving the Long Beach and South Bay areas. Spearheading the effort is Jim Grubbs, vice president, development of the Volunteer Center and Team 100 president.
As a pilot project, Team 100 adopted International Elementary School because all of the more than 700 students are classified as "economically disadvantaged" by state standards.
Principal Kim Baril knows firsthand of the need for students to get healthy food on weekends.
"We are so appreciative of the food we are getting from Team 100. It really is filling a big need," she said. Each week Team 100 members deliver about 100 bags of groceries filled with vegetables, canned fruits, cereal and other healthy items.
Last September, Team 100 committed to supplying Principal Baril with enough groceries to keep at least 15 families from going hungry over the weekend.
"We've kept that commitment, and now we are helping to feed 20 families, or about 100 people, each weekend," Grubbs said.
The need is daunting. About 68 percent of students in the Long Beach Unified School District qualify for California's free or reduced- price lunch program. The average for students qualifying statewide is 55 percent.
But the size of the task doesn't scare Team 100.
"We have big aspirations," said Arley Baker, Team 100 board member. "We're proud of what we've done, but we are eager to expand the program even more. The need is great."
To raise more substantial funds for the program, Team 100 will be holding its first annual Blue Martini Ball at the Long Beach Yacht Club on Saturday.
"The Blue Martini Ball promises to be a night to remember and the start of a great annual Long Beach tradition," Baker said. Tickets are by invitation only.
Grubbs said the level of community support for the event has been "phenomenal."
"This is how the community comes together to help put food on the table for some of our town's most underprivileged children and their families," he said.
Tax-deductible donations to Team 100's Food for Kids program in Long Beach can be made at www.volcenter.org/donate. For more information, call 310-212-5009.

29 Beverly Road
Designed by the first woman architect registered by the Brooklyn Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, construction of this home was completed in March, 1927. After the Vanderbilt estate was sub-divided, Olive Tjaden, designed this Georgian Colonial-Italianette style home and provided construction oversight, something that was not usually accomplished at that time by a woman.
Ms. Tjaden was 15 when she was admitted to Cornell's architecture program. Finished with the program by the age of 19, she was only 21 years old when she designed this particular home. Many of the records indicate that Ms. Tjaden worked for Erda, Lamb and Weisman in Mineola at the time of the design. (However, the original blueprints do not indicate a relationship between her and Erda, Lamb, and Weisman.) Ms. Tjaden designed over 400 homes in Garden City between 1920′s-1940′s. She was also chosen to plan a house for the New York World's Fair. For decades, she was considered the most prominent woman architect in the Northeast.
Much to the surprise of the latest owners, many of the home's original features still exist. In addition to the original hardwood floors, the distinctive French doors and sun deck on the front of the house, moldings, interior French doors, wavy glass windows, Butler's pantry, outdoor lighting, and bathroom fixtures were all original. Research into the various owners of this home continues. Neighborhood rumors abound that perhaps the first owner was a reported gangster and later in the 1960′s a "famous magician that appeared on the Ed Sullivan show" lived there. A set of the original blueprints for this home is on file with the Olive Tjaden archives at Cornell University in Ithaca.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Ramie. Baft. Bombazine. We're addicted to reading the labels on vintage clothing, and some of the best label-reading (not to mention shopping) that we've done lately is at Retro Ranch, one of Seventh Avenue's best-known vintage stores. Sure, you can find broadcloth and dungaree at most vintage shops that sell clothing, but what is it about these guys that even their throw pillows are made of decades-old Gloria? Swing coats made of Shaker flannel and midi skirts made of landsdown — nowhere else but at Retro Ranch, baby.
There are three factors that contribute to a good shot of espresso — beans, machine, and barista. If even one of the pieces of that trifecta is off, your shot of espresso can suffer. Luckily, the boys behind Scottsdale Quarter's Press Coffee Roasters have the process down. Created with their bold house-roasted Twitch Espresso Blend and pulled by their talented baristas off their top-of-the-line Synesso espresso machine, the end result is a perfectly balanced earthy shot of espresso with hints of sweet fruit, notes of chocolate, and a slightly smoky finish.A great way to start the day — or make sure it doesn't start too early.
Great coffee starts with high-quality beans, and the folks at Cartel score only the best from Brazil for their impressive Black Market Espresso. The four-bean blend is sourced from a single high-elevation farm in the Sul de Mina region of Brazil, where it goes through its natural pulping process on-site before it is shipped off the farm. Cartel then roasts these beans to perfection, creating a bold-flavored coffee with citrus and chocolate notes and a dash of sweetness.
We were sold on this quaint and cozy coffee shop the second that designer-turned-barista Pat Flanagan opened the doors of his freshly remodeled spot last spring. The warm interior and interesting artwork begs you to take a few minutes out of your day to stay and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee (beans courtesy of Lux). But Carmel's isn't just a coffee house — it serves a full menu of delicious breakfast and lunch treats. Fresh-baked quiches, scones, and muffins, flaky croissant sandwiches, and even crepes are available. When the weather permits, Carmel's has plenty of patio space to savor your coffee while watching traffic go by on Camelback.
All of the sudden, there's a lot of coffee competition on Roosevelt Row. But for us, there's no contest. Fresh house-roasted beans, an in-house bakery, an omelet bar, and a beautiful selection of rotating artwork are just a few reasons why Lola is our go-to downtown coffee shop. Artisan coffee roaster and latte art fanatic Daniel Wayne has created a laid-back atmosphere with a welcoming demeanor — and some of the best whipped cream in town. The espresso-infused whip gives Lola's coffee drinks a sweet and creamy kick. Try the dark chocolate and orange Café Borgia or the coffee shop's almost famous Matador.
Crepes and coffee go together like peanut butter and jelly, David Lee Roth and Van Halen, or vodka and Red Bull. Without one, the other is lonely and incomplete. Thankfully, Cupz N' Crepes is keeping the coffee-and-crepe team together at its Paris-inspired shop in Ahwatukee. Dig into a delicate crepe packed full of sweet Nutella and ripe bananas or the savory Veggie Delight, filled with spinach, tomatoes, and goat cheese.

Pousadas are the South American alternative to serviced apartments. Ranging from the very basic to upmarket places and all privately run, they are well-respected for their friendly and helpful personal service.
A specially refurbished old colonial building, Quinta Azul (meaning Blue House), comprises eight beautifully designed luxury rooms, all boasting state-of-the-art fittings and antique furniture, including 400-thread cotton sheets and soft furnishings – a few even have four-poster beds. Lying in tranquil, lush green gardens overlooking breathtaking views of the city, it is ideal for those after comfortable, affordable accommodation to rival Rio's top hotels.
Just 10 minutes away from Rio's beaches with breathtaking views of the city, Quinta Azul lies right in the heart of lively Santa Teresa village, a small historic town that likes to party. Described by those in the know as the South American Montmartre and one of Rio's hidden gems, Santa Teresa is packed with local artists, galleries, cafes and restaurants. It also boasts its own 100-year-old yellow tram, the Bonde, that takes you down downtown to the city centre in only 10 minutes, following in the footsteps of rich merchants who used to commute this way from their mansions a century ago. Sitting in the heart of the village, Quinta Azul is the village's only luxury pousada.
Quinta Azul's London-based owner Gordon Lewis fell in love with Rio while on holiday in Brazil and eventually bought two colonial properties in the bohemian Santa Teresa district. Spotting a gap in the market, his first pousada, Quinta Rosa (Pink House), opened for business two years ago.
Says Gordon: 'There's much more to Rio than its beaches and Santa Teresa is one example; the hillside villages have a lot of character. It didn't take me long to realise that I could build on Quinta Rosa's success by opening Quinta Azul. Only five minutes down the road, Azul will offer the same winning blend of quality, design and real value for money which sets Rosa apart from Rio's top hotels and more basic serviced apartments.'

- Infants in control: Rapid anticipation of action outcomes in a gaze-contingent paradigm (2012)
- Infants' poor motor abilities limit their interaction with their environment and render studying infant cognition notoriously difficult. Exceptions are eye movements, which reach high accuracy early, but generally do not allow manipulation of the physical environment. In this study, real-time eye tracking is used to put 6- and 8-month-old infants in direct control of their visual surroundings to study the fundamental problem of discovery of agency, i.e. the ability to infer that certain sensory events are caused by one's own actions. We demonstrate that infants quickly learn to perform eye movements to trigger the appearance of new stimuli and that they anticipate the consequences of their actions in as few as 3 trials. Our findings show that infants can rapidly discover new ways of controlling their environment. We suggest that gaze-contingent paradigms offer effective new ways for studying many aspects of infant learning and cognition in an interactive fashion and provide new opportunities for behavioral training and treatment in infants.
- Bayesian cue integration as a developmental outcome of reward mediated learning (2011)
- Average human behavior in cue combination tasks is well predicted by Bayesian inference models. As this capability is acquired over developmental timescales, the question arises, how it is learned. Here we investigated whether reward dependent learning, that is well established at the computational, behavioral, and neuronal levels, could contribute to this development. It is shown that a model free reinforcement learning algorithm can indeed learn to do cue integration, i.e. weight uncertain cues according to their respective reliabilities and even do so if reliabilities are changing. We also consider the case of causal inference where multimodal signals can originate from one or multiple separate objects and should not always be integrated. In this case, the learner is shown to develop a behavior that is closest to Bayesian model averaging. We conclude that reward mediated learning could be a driving force for the development of cue integration and causal inference.

Kacey Musgraves to debut new song on 'Tonight Show'
Listen to Kacey Musgraves on iHeartRadio
Kacey Musgraves is sharing new music with a national television audience. The country star is slated to be the musical guest Thursday on NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."
⚡ @jimmyfallon TONIGHT ⚡
— KACEY MUSGRAVES (@KaceyMusgraves) June 12, 2014
But instead of performing her current single, "Keep It To Your Self," she'll give the TV debut of the new tune "The Trailer Song." The track is not from her Grammy-winning album Same Trailer Different Park.
The "Tonight Show" appearance comes just ahead of her "CMT Crossroads" premiere. The episode, featuring Musgraves with pop star Katy Perry, will have its premiere on CMT Friday at 10:00 p.m. Eastern.
Meanwhile, more new music could be on the way from Kacey courtesy of a rock legend. Rolling Stone says Musgraves is one of several artists the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson has tapped for his latest studio project. She reportedly teamed up with Wilson on a song called "Sharing a New Day," which the publication describes as "sassy." However, the Musgraves collaboration hasn't yet been confirmed for the release.

Big Boi confirms solo project
Listen to Big Boi on iHeartRadio
Big Boi is confirming rumors that he's working on a new solo project.
In an interview with Diddy's Revolt TV, the OutKast emcee told fans to "look out" for his new solo project, which he says is "coming soon."
While he wouldn't reveal anymore about the rumored album, he teased that the album's title is a "surprise." He also revealed that he and Killer Mike have recently been in the studio together and have cut "a couple new jams."
Big Boi also left the door open for a second tour with Killer Mike. Their 2013 "Shoes For Running" tour was canceled midway through because Big Boi injured his knee.
Meantime, Big Boi will soon hit the road with his OutKast partner André 300 for an upcoming festival tour. The 40-date road trip will kick off in April at the Coachella music festival in Indio, California.
Apart from Big Boi's solo album, there have also been rumors that the two are planning a new OutKast album. A solo project from André 3000 is also reportedly in the works.

Case Horizons Program Challenges and Inspires High School Students
A group of School of Medicine students spent two days sharing their world with high school students—including subjects like anatomy.
Seventeen high school sophomores experienced a rare glimpse into the lives of medical students and doctors at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in a pilot shadowing program called Case Horizons. The students attend MC2STEM High School, an open-enrollment school in the Cleveland Municipal School District that teaches a pioneering, project-based curriculum of science, technology, engineering and math.
Case Horizons came about through a friendship between Kevin Fang, a student at the School of Medicine, and Joseph Helpern, a 10th grade science teacher at MC2STEM. Fang spent two years with Teach for America prior to entering medical school, and both men share a deep commitment to using innovative teaching methods to engage young students.
Working with four of his fellow medical students and Terry Wolpaw, MD, associate dean for Curricular Affairs at the School of Medicine, Fang developed the Case Horizons pilot, which was conducted over a two-day period. "Our principal goal is to support the students' intrinsic motivations to achieve academically," said Fang. "We seek to do this through exposure to the field of medicine at both the classroom and the clinical level, and educate them about the steps required to become a doctor."
The MC2STEM students, who are 15 and 16 years old, began their first day by monitoring an inquiry group, a fundamental part of medical school that uses case studies to teach the realities and challenges of everyday practice. After observing, the students engaged in their own inquiry group, applying what they had learned to read the profile of a patient with diabetes, conduct research on the disease, and present their findings. Afterward, a discussion group and role-playing exercise led by medical students helped them learn how diabetes can affect the life of the patient, as well as friends and family members.
The young people also were taught the basics of surface anatomy and how to use a stethoscope to listen to heart, lung and bowel sounds. Each of them wore a white coat loaned for the occasion by enthusiastic medical students, who wanted to make the day as authentic as possible for their young charges.
"The students as a group really impressed me," said Fang. "They took initiative and asked some very insightful questions. It was clear that they genuinely wanted to make the most of this as a learning experience."
The highlight of the program was the two hours the students spent shadowing doctors doing clinical work. The hands-on experience included witnessing procedures such as an ultrasound, a pelvic exam or a colonoscopy, and watching the interactions between doctor and patient.
Student Shanna Gay was moved by hearing the beating heart of an unborn child, which, she said, "made me realize how amazing it is that a woman's body can transform to make room for another life."
Fellow classmate Juan Caminero said "I never thought about what doctors do when they leave the room in a check up," and was intrigued as the doctor recorded details of the visit and discussed the case with other doctors.
Many of the students were surprised at the amount of time doctors spend on paperwork, a fact that did nothing to lessen their enthusiasm for the field of medicine and a career dedicated to helping people.
"The students were amazed and very appreciative that the doctors and the medical students treated them like adults and allowed them to have so many hands-on learning experiences," said Helpern. "This went beyond anything we could teach from a book and served as a great motivation to all the students."
As for Fang and his fellow medical school students, the experience is one they hope to repeat. "Most of us can point to someone or some event in our lives that inspired us to become doctors," he said, "and it would be wonderful if we can provide that sort of inspiration, or at least set a foundation for success in whatever future careers they choose to pursue."
That inspiration will continue, as the pilot's success has ensured the program's continuation into another year.

VICTORVILLE -- Sheriff's homicide detectives have identified the 52-year-old male involved in a shooting death early Sunday in a residential neighborhood.
San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies received several 9-1-1 calls about shots fired in the area of Roan Road and Roan Circle at 1:47 a.m.
Initial reports indicated a body was lying in the roadway with at least one gunshot wound, but that was not immediately confirmed by sheriff's officials, who said an active investigation was still taking place.
The victim, Ricky Lacour, 29, was taken to a hospital where he later died, sheriff's deputies said.
Michael Ray Sullivan Sr. of Victorville is suspected of shooting Lacour. A motive for the slaying wasn't released.
Deputies soon called out homicide detectives to the location.
Investigators were in the Brentwood neighborhood speaking to residents and processing the scene since the time of the early morning calls, deputies said Sunday.
Yellow crime-scene tape was still blocking off the scene early Sunday afternoon as crime scene investigators collected evidence.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact the sheriff's Homicide Detail at 909-387-3589.

Gloria Steinem, Women Under Siege, Documenting Sex Crimes in Syria in Real Time (JEWISH PRESS) By: Yori Yanover 03/29/12)

Imagine what it would mean to track rape in conflict in real time were doing it in Syria, declares the new website Women Under Siege.
Our mission is to show the world that each woman raped has been illegally brutalized against her will. We aim to show that this woman, wherever she is, matters. As part of this, were trying something new: telling individual stories from Syria as they happen.
The website is calling on women and men from Syria and those working with Syrian refugees to provide reports of sexualized violence as the crisis there continues to unfold.
A Womens Media Center initiative, Women Under Siege is documenting and advocating against sexualized violence in conflict. Spearheaded by Gloria Steinem, this initiative explores historical evidence that sexualized violence occurred in wars from the Holocaust to the present day. In the belief that understanding what happened in the past might have helped us to prevent or to prepare for the mass sexual assaults of other conflicts, from Bosnia to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Women Under Siege is working to heighten public consciousness of causes and prevention.
We are relying on you to help us discover whether rape and sexual assault are widespreadsuch evidence can be used to aid the international community in grasping the urgency of what is happening in Syria, and can provide the base for potential future prosecutions, declare the website operator. Our goal is to make these atrocities visible, and to gather evidence so that one day justice may be served.
The website has partnered with a Harvard-based doctor and an epidemiologist from Columbia University, as well as multiple Syrian activists.
In an article titled The cartography of suffering: Women Under Siege maps sexualized violence in Syria, published on the new website, Lauren Wolfe and Catherine M. Mullaly write: When we hear about conflicts in foreign countries and imagine terrible acts, our thoughts dont turn immediately to rape. We think of bombings and refugees and government suppression. If we think of sexualized violence at all, we may imagine a faceless, powerless woman, one unfortunate person who will eventually become a statistic 400,000 raped in Rwanda, 100,000 in Guatemala. When we hear about conflicts, we dont imagine these stories. Or we consider them to simply be part of a larger horror. But at Women Under Siege, our mission is to show the world that each woman raped is a person who has been illegally brutalized against her will, that she is part of a family and a community that may now be shredded. We aim to show that this woman, wherever she is, matters.
As part of this mission, were trying something new: telling egregiously underreported stories from Syria as they happen, with as much accuracy as possible. The blurred suffering of women who have been sexually violated in the raging but opaque Syrian conflict is now being made visible on our site, WomenUnderSiegeSyria.crowdmap.com.

Finalized May 2017
Coordinator: JASON KOONTZ, Associate Professor (Biology)
B.S., Iowa State; M.S., Miami University (Ohio); Ph.D., Washington State
Augustana's pre-dentistry program prepares students for admission to dental school. All U.S. dental schools require three or more years of pre-dental training and preference is given to applicants who are bachelor's degree candidates. Dental schools also place emphasis on the importance of a broad, general program of study. Students seeking admission to dental school should include in their course of study BIOL- 200, BIOL-210, BIOL-343, BIOL-360 or 362 and BIOL-370; CHEM-121, CHEM-122, CHEM-123, CHEM-311, CHEM-312, CHEM-313 and CHEM-411; PHYS-101, PHYS-102, PHYS-103 or PHYS-201, PHYS-202, PHYS-203.
Recommended electives include statistics or math, and advanced courses in art, English, history, philosophy, psychology, and social and political science. It is recommended that elective courses be chosen to broaden the student's intellectual background.
Augustana's dentistry program is not a graduation major, so a departmental major must be completed if the student intends to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree. The choice of graduation major is not critical for acceptance by a dental school, though nationwide the majority of matriculating dental students have a major in biology.

I'm coding my own jquery "powerpoint" type slide presentation. I have a script that uses load() to bring in separate HTML files as the "slides" and it fades them in and out when you click the "next" or "previous" buttons.
To kick it up another notch, I'd like each element on the page to slide into place from the right (sliding left into final position). I'd like to slide every item in the parent div (#presentationContainer) with a class of "animElement" to use the "margin-left" css property to appear to slide into place as it fades.
So, each element with that class would animate one after another until each one is faded in and in correct position.
This is one hell of an example of event chaining and is a bit above my meddle. I just need help with the sliding part in the animation. The fades all work fine.
My question is, how will I handle the sliding and where in the even chain will I put that code? How do you target an item and intercept it when it isn't on the page yet?
Here is the script for the .nextButton:
$('.nextButton').click(function(){ if($currentSlide < $numberOfSlides) { $currentSlide += 1; $('#presentationContainer').load('slide-' + $currentSlide + '.html').hide().fadeIn(1000); }});
I might need to start another statement. Not sure if all of this can be chained into just one. Here's the offset for the sliding elements.
animate({marginLeft: '+=40px;'})
If I try:$('#presentationContainer').load('slide-' + $currentSlide + '.html').hide().fadeIn(1000).animate({marginLeft: '+=40px;'});
The presentation Container is what gets animated. So I need a more refined targeting … Again, I'm trying to snag these elements before they get faded in and slide them into place.
Thanks| scott
Hey Scott,
It might be beneficial for you to know that the .load() method also takes a callback. This callback will be executed once the file has been loaded, which ought to help you refine what you're targeting as well.
e.g. a click handler method for the Next button:
function getSlide() {
if($currentSlide >= $numberOfSlides) {
$currentSlide += 1;
$('#presentationContainer').load('slide-'+$currentSlide+'.html', function() {
//find the parent and child and cache them
var $parent = $(this),
$child = $parent.find(">section"); // whatever your container element *inside* your slide HTML files is
$parent.fadeIn(1000); //fade in the parent
$child.animate({left: '0%'}, 1000); at the same time begin sliding in your content
You might notice that I used the "left" property to animate and not the margin-left property as that also causes your content to be pushed around in an undesirable manner.
So make sure you also have some starting CSS like this:
#presentationContainer {
margin:0 auto;
overflow: hidden; /* This is the important bit */
section {
position: relative;
Awesome John. I see where you are going. For the most part it worked. I should mention that I also intended to have a previous button to reverse the order of the slides. I incorporated your code and added some of my own. The problem now is, for some reason, it's ignoring the first line. The line where I tell it to automatically load slide1.html. And also the code I put in for the previous button isn't working. Here's my code in it's entirety. Thanks again for your assistance John.
// begin document ready wrapper$(document).ready(function(){
// loads first slide - not currently working$('#presentationContainer').load('slide-1.html').fadeIn(1000);
var $numberOfSlides = 3;var $currentSlide = 1;
function getSlideNext() { if($currentSlide >= $numberOfSlides) { return; }
$currentSlide += 1;
$('#presentationContainer').load('slide-'+$currentSlide+'.html', function() {
//find the parent and child and cache them
var $parent = $(this),
$child = $parent.find(">.slide"); // whatever your container element *inside* your slide HTML files is
$parent.fadeIn(1000); //fade in the parent
$child.animate({left: '0%'}, 1000);
function getSlidePrevious() { if($currentSlide <= $numberOfSlides) { return; }
$currentSlide -= 1;
$('#presentationContainer').load('slide-'+$currentSlide+'.html', function() {
//find the parent and child and cache them
var $parent = $(this),
$child = $parent.find(">.slide"); // whatever your container element *inside* your slide HTML files is
$parent.fadeIn(1000); //fade in the parent
$child.animate({left: '0%'}, 1000);
});// end document ready wrapper
From what I can gather your previous button is getting appended to the DOM via Ajax? If that's correct then you need to delegate the click handler to the button class instead like below.
$(document).delegate('click', '.previousButton', getSlidePrevious);
However in jQuery 1.5 and above its recommended you use the on method as it does both event delegation and bubbling.
$(document).on('click', '.previousButton', getSlidePrevious);
No. The buttons are just in the markup. I have:

<input type="submit" value="Next" class="nextButton"><input type="submit" value="Previous" class="previousButton">

Just did something in the code that is causing it to not reverse.
I have the whole thing online if you want to see how it behaves.
It should actually be loading the slide fine, but if you've applied the CSS where the default state for it is to be offset to the left, then you'll need to apply the same callback as you have in the prev/next callbacks.
$('#presentationContainer').load('slide-1.html', function() {
var $parent = $(this),
$child = $parent.find(">.slide");
$parent.fadeIn(1000); //fade in the parent
$child.animate({left: '0%'}, 1000);
Whoops just realised I didn't answer this part either.
In your getSlidePrevious() function, the if-statement should compare to 0, not the number of slides
if($currentSlide <= 0) {
Doh. Should have seen that coming with the previous slide thing.
Great advice. It's working well now.
The last thing I though would be nice would be to have each element's entry staggered a bit. So, within my .slide container div, I have various elements all with a class="animElement". I would like each one to do it's CSS slide right after the one in front of it in the queue. When the "slide" loads the first element
 will slide ... then each
 tag will slide in, then the  ... basically whatever I gave the class animElement to.
This is to simulate what you sometimes see in PowerPoint where the items do a similiar transition.
I'm learning a lot this way, so thanks. This stuff wasn't in the book ...
I actually built a presentation like that not long ago, but I cheated and used DeckJS
If you want to do that, I would recommend using CSS animations and some default classes to set up delays and durations.For example:
.delay0-1 { -webkit-transition-duration: 0.1s; }
.delay0-2 { -webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; }
.delay0-3 { -webkit-transition-duration: 0.3s; }
.duration0-1 { -webkit-transition-duration: 0.1s; }
.duration0-2 { -webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; }
.duration0-3 { -webkit-transition-duration: 0.3s; }
NOTE: This code is from an app I'm building for iPad use, so I'm only using the -webkit- prefix. If you want to cater to more browsers you should of course consider putting all the prefixes in!e.g.
.duration0-1 {
-webkit-transition-duration: 0.1s;
-moz-transition-duration: 0.1s;
-ms-transition-duration: 0.1s;
-o-transition-duration: 0.1s;
transition-duration: 0.1s;
Now all you need is some classes that perform the transitions, for example:
.slide-in {
-webkit-transition-property: left;
-webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-out;
.animate-in .slide-in {
Note the .animate-in class? We need this to represent a different state than the initial one. There are various ways of accomplishing this, and I think this one might work for you. We just need to add an "addClass()" call to your callbacks.
//replace the $child.animate() call with this in each of your callbacks
$child.animate({left: '0%'}, 1000).addClass("animate-in");
You can then use a combination of these classes to animate your content

You have a knack for concise explanations John. Well done. Thanks so much. Crystal Clear.
I should mention I just have it set up to use screen grabs as slides in this test version. Each slide will only be:

So, I got five of those that I was hoping to use to get everything up and functioning.
Hi John. Are you still out there? I was trying to use your recommendation of Deck.js to do my presentation since it's already been set up and fussed over but for some reason I can't get the buttons to function or even get it to do even simple sliding transitions. Do you foresee a problem with using images as buttons? I can't see what the difference would be, but for some reason it won't function.
Basically I'm having the type of trouble you have when you can't get Jquery configured correctly, only I know it's functioning. FOr instance, try to select the text in the footer that starts out with "By using this site ...". It's as if that portion of my page is covered by something else. Weird.
Any idea what's causing this funkiness? I actually had it working for one brief second. There was no sliding transition, but it did advance to the next slide. Now I can't even get that.
Thanks| sc
You can disregard this last post. The problem appears to be the way I nested my "slides". I should have had my
 tags all directly under the  and I had them in another level which was throwing off the CSS.
Thanks anyway.

This is driving me nuts. I'm trying to install XAMPP 1.4.2 (don't ask, I'm not a programmer and I need to run a PHP4 app) and I can't get virtual hosts to work. Now XAMPP 1.4.2 is supposed to have PHP4 and Apache 2.0 Problem is, no matter what, I can't get name-based virtual hosts to work.
I have the correct entries in the hosts file, but the virtual hosts don't work.My httpd.conf is configured like this
And then like this:<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs ServerName localhost</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost yata4> DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs/yata4 ServerName yata4</VirtualHost>
I have 127.0.0.1 localhost and 127.0.0.1 yata4 in "hosts" and the paths are correct.
The problem is it doesn' work properly. When typing http://localhost I get redirected to http://localhost/xampp/splash.php as expected. But when I go to http://yata4 I get the same content as that of the localhost (i.e. get redirected to http://yata4/xampp/splash.php) I'm at the end of my wits, I've read countless tutorials about name-based virtual hosts on the web and I couldn't get any of them to work as expected. What am I doing wrong?
Does Apache load any config files after the NameVirtualHost?
Have your tried using I.P.s rather than the global * ? Like:
Have your tried using I.P.s rather than the global * ? Like:
NameVirtualHost 22.214.171.124:80
<VirtualHost 22.214.171.124:80>
You need to make sure that your virtual hosts are configured exactly like the how you have the NameVirtualHost, as above.
I have very little idea about this stuff, but when I've tried this it has worked for me to do this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs/yata4
ServerName yata4
I found this helpful: http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/apache22_vhosts.php
Well, while I loathe canned apps like this (and you've shown a good reason to install individual daemons, i.e., get the configuration you need), the answer lies in the httpd-vhosts.conf file (in the config/extras folder) and uncommenting the link to it in httpd.conf. That file will show you that you need something like
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
ServerName dk
DocumentRoot W:/dk
ServerPath W:/dk
and you've already said that you've got
127.0.0.1 dk
in your hosts file. Restart Apache and you'll be set.
WARNING: Pick your own virtual domain name! :rofl:
BTW, http://yata4 should be all you need to access this virtual domain, NOT http://yata4/xampp/yadda-yadda.
My setup is like this:
NameVirtualHost *:80
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
#<VirtualHost *>
# ServerAdmin [EMAIL="email@example.com"]firstname.lastname@example.com[/EMAIL]
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
# Win32DisableAcceptEx ON
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
ServerName localhost
<VirtualHost yata4>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/sites/yata4
ServerName yata4
the problem is now that I added the yata4 virtual host, its contents also gets displayed when typing http://localhost in the address bar.In case I wasn't clear, if I type in http://yata4 i get the contents of that domain, and if I type in http://localhost I again get the contents of the yata4 subdomain (I checked). This isn't what I expect, (what I had in mind was http://localhost would take to me to xampp/splash.php and typing yata4 would get me the contents of the yata4 virtual host. My set up seems correct, but it doesn't work as expected.The extras folder you mention does not exist in the install. I checked inside the zip archive to make sure.
To get around this issue you need to have ways to route to the two different sites yata4 and xampp/splash.php. To do this the easiest way is to set xampp as a virtual host as well. So it looks like:
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
ServerName localhost
<VirtualHost xampp>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/
ServerName xampp
DirectoryIndex splash.php
<VirtualHost yata4>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs/yata4
ServerName yata4
Don't forget to add xampp to your hosts file or your dns forwarded.
You would type http://xampp to get to your splash page and http://yata4 for your yata4 content.
The other way to do this is to set different listening ports. In you httpd.conf search for [B]listen:
listen 80
listen 800
Then in your virtual hosts:
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/
DirectoryIndex splash.php
ServerName localhost
<VirtualHost yata4:800>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs/yata4
ServerName yata4
For this you would need to type http://localhost to get to your splash page and http://yata4:800 (with the appended port) to get to your yata4 content.
Added the 127.0.0.1 xampp entry to the hosts file. Tried your exact config using c/p, it didn't work, it caused 403 error forbidden, both on xampp, localhost and yata4.
changing it to this
<VirtualHost *> DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs ServerName localhost</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost xampp> DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs ServerName xampp DirectoryIndex splash.php</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost yata4> DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs/yata4 ServerName yata4</VirtualHost>
Gets me a listing of the htdocs folder which has xampp and yata4 folders under it, regardless of whether I type xampp, localhost or yata4 in the address bar. So I'm kind of where I was before, as it is still treating all virtual hosts as identical. The reason I get the directory is probably because it now treats your directory index xampp.php as applying to all the virtual hosts even though it's only defined for one of them. Unless you have another idea, I'll probably be forced to dump this crap and install Apache and PHP manually, even though it's a less elegant solution (I hate having to put php.ini inside the windows folder and all).
So you're sure that you have xampp and yata4 defined in your hosts file or a local DNS? Your sure that you have Apache configured to use NamedVirtualHost for all hosts?
I run this same set-up although I installed Apache, MySQL separately and I have a host set on my DNS forwarder (PFSENSE firewall) and I have NamedVirtualHost set to true for all my hosts and this works.
This I no for certain. If you have a working host file or DNS that if you in a command line ping xampp and ping yata4 they return the right I.P. and you have Apache listening for Named Hosts then this should work. It just becomes like any other shared Apache server where you have different virtual hosts that represent different domain hosts.
Have you checked the permission of the XAMPP folder to see if the webserver has access to the \xampp\ folder and not just the \xampp\hotdocs\ folder?
Didn't anyone read post #5? Just the code blocks in post #5? IMHO, you've butchered your <VirtualHost> block (at least for yata4) and have yet to display that you've updated the hosts file correctly.
Hi DK,
Yes post 5 is and when I originally read it was entirely correct. As hawk man did not seem to respond it seemed that more details might be needed.
Hawk man can you confirm that your host file or internal DNS is set correctly for yata4, xampp and/or localhost set?
I've already said that my C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS file has the following entries
# For example:
#220.127.116.11 rhino.acme.com # source server
#126.96.36.199 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 yata4
127.0.0.1 xampp
There are tabs between the IP and the name but they get stripped by the Sitepoint forum. <not if you put code tags around it the tabs are preserved>
I did. And I've already answered that the httpd-vhosts.conf does not exist, nor does the extra folder, even though that specific version is running apache 2.
And I am slow to answer: I have a job, I am also studying for college, so I don't always have the time to test the suggestions right away.
Okay, the hosts file information looks correct but your VirtualHost is not. After class, please try to follow the format above and see if that doesn't clear your problems.
No worries about the time delay. I've worked and taken grad classes until late at night. These days, I try to "have a life" and NOT sit on the computer (at least not at SitePoint) so I will generally only visit once a day ... when I can.
On further thought, I can't believe that XAMPP would modify the Apache conf files so massively as to eliminate the extras subdirectory, the httpd-vhosts.conf file and the link between the two at the end of the httpd.conf file. I believe you didn't find them but please look again. If you have a good search function, search for <VirtualHost and it should show you your httpd.conf as well as the httpd-vhosts.conf files (perhaps even more files but I hope not).
I have used only the basic information required by the <VirtualHost> block and have provided that above. SPecifically, you're lacking the IP address:port, the server name (in some) and the server path (in others). You should not repeat the localhost (which should be in the httpd.conf as it's the default) and ... well, as a student, I'll ask you to check and match the format for your Virtual Hosts data. Should that fail, please post the revised code and I'll help you get through it.
As an aside, the FREE chapter of Kevin Yank's book is a great installation tutorial (albeit, the ancient version I first used was a bit out of order and WinDoze has changed drastically - keep out of the Program Files directory at all cost and be sure to specify the server correctly - 127.0.0.1 and localhost - when installing!). I prefer to install my daemons (MySQL, Apache, PHP and PHPMyAdmin - a great crutch for MySQL) individually rather than use a "canned app" like XAMPP but that was what you had specified.

Configuration files
Configuration files
File (Directory) \xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf Usage The main configuration file for Apache. It's including other files from the subdirectory "extra".
So, no, it's not there.
keep out of the Program Files directory at all cost
That's what I do most of the time, except for Microsoft Office.
I prefer to install my daemons (MySQL, Apache, PHP and PHPMyAdmin - a great crutch for MySQL) individually rather than use a "canned app" like XAMPP but that was what you had specified.
That's how I used to do it on my old computer. Apache 1.3 and the zip version of PHP4. But that required me to place php.ini within the system path (more specifically inside the windows folder) which I never liked, and besides that meant I had to back up three different folders (C:\Mysql, C:\PHP - and most likely forget to back up c:\windows\php.ini! - and c:\apache. It would be more convenient to use XAMPP, provided I got it work, of course.
This SOB is going to be the end of me...
Following the instructions here
When you enable virtual hosting, Apache disables the main server root, so the first definition needs to reproduce the original server root. You then add each new virtual host within a pair of <VirtualHost> tags, using the location of the site's web files as the value for DocumentRoot, and the name of the virtual host for ServerName. Again, use forward slashes, and if the path contains any spaces, enclose the whole path in quotes. If your server root is located, like mine, at C:\htdocs, and you are adding phpdw as a virtual host in C:\vhosts, change the code shown on lines 27 through 42 so they look like this (in XAMPP, just add these new directives at the bottom of the file, and set the DocumentRoot for localhost to C:/xampp/htdocs):
<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs" ServerName localhost</VirtualHost><VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot c:/vhosts/yata4 ServerName yata4</VirtualHost>
Now Yata4 works, but http://localhost which like I said should redirect to http://localhost/xampp/splash.php doesn' work and gives me the error 404 not found even though the paths are correct.
I've got a bookmark for a very easy tut for wamp for this. Wamp works perfect for me
Have you tried what I showed above:
<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
ServerName localhost
<VirtualHost xampp>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/
ServerName xampp
DirectoryIndex splash.php
<VirtualHost yata4>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs/yata4/
ServerName yata4
You would need to use xampp instead of local host to connect to the splash page, but you are only going to go to the xampp page when you administrate the site so it is really no different than using localhost.
You would then need to format you host like:
# For example:
#184.108.40.206 rhino.acme.com # source server
#22.214.171.124 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 yata4
127.0.0.1 xampp
http://127.0.0.1/yata4 Goes to yata4http://127.0.0.1/xampp Goes to xampp splash page
I think I finally beat the SOB. Moved the xampp folder from under the document root (htdocs) to c:\vhosts and added the corresponding entries<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot c:/vhosts/xampp ServerName xamppoff</VirtualHost>
and 127.0.0.1 xamppoff to the HOSTS, and now it works. Multiple virtual hosts are also placed there, and they work too, so I guess that's it.
When you enable virtual hosting, Apache disables the main server root
I think it was due to the part in bold which applies to Apache 2.0. While I tried to place the folders for the virtual hosts inside the htdocs folder (which is how I used to do it when I was running the multiple virtual hosts setup under Apache 1.3), they didn't work as this version uses Apache 2.0. Now that I moved them away from under htdocs, everything seems to work OK. Fingers crossed. Maybe now I can finally get to work instead of fighting the server.

Like the other post, I'm not trying to start shit. I am curious. Why are you getting an epidural? medical issues? scared of natural labor? Do the risks bother you at all or do you just think "that won't happen to me!" ?
I had DD (dear daughter) with an epidural and DS (dear son) without. Epidural was the biggest mistake I made. Made me sick and stalled my labor. I am so glad I didn't end up with a c-section which I may have if I was seeing a cut-happy doc since I was in labor 22 whole hours and didn't hit transition in their 8 hour limit. I was just scared, hadn't even educated myself at all on not having an epidural.

"If everyone just stuck to positive, optimistic forum threads, the forums might get pretty quiet But, believe it or not, there are some good discussions that arise!"
"Be a leader, start a significant thread! "
For those who know,..the sand dunes in OC have really grown in recent years. It appears that many of the dune grasses have really started to take hold. ( I believe there was a planting of dune grass a number of years back to try and bring the dunes back some) I have noticed that the heavy winter storms that push sand up and over the top of the dunes bury the grasses. But this has allowed them to further entrench themselves. Once the spring and summer hits, the grasses really blossom. The dunes have increased in size as a result as well as the grasses. It would seem the planting of the grasses have and are working to restore the dunes to a more natural state. Many dunes are ripe and ready and have the base to be able to support trees now, not all but many do.
I believe now is the time to further this dune growth by planting pines and trees like you would find on the dunes in CI, AI, FI/DE. I understand that this idea would run into some road blocks due to many hotels/motels in OC saying that the view would be blocked for some of their lower level floors.
So I was hoping for some feed back, what does everyone think. Would this be a good idea? Would the OC council approve it>>>the planting of trees in/on the dunes?
If you have every been down to CI or AI you have got to love how the dunes are so alive with grass, trees, flowers, berries and different plants that you just do not see in OC anymore. If you love the Ocean you have got to have a love for the environment around it.
So what do you think? What are the chances, pros and cons?

Definition of insanity? Democrats
February 6, 2013
In response to the recently published letter "definition of insanity," I would like to like to take that one step further.
For the past 43 years a majority of Californians have voted the Democrat party as a majority in the state senate and the assembly. Though the names have changed and members have jumped from assembly to senate and vice versa, the results seem to never change. We always run a budget deficit and are forever seeing new inane laws passed to cover for the already flawed laws already on the books. Despite being over-regulated, the same party remains in power.
Could it then be said that the majority of the electorate of this state suffer from some form of insanity?

FOS11 Statement Regarding White House Cooperation with the 9/11 Public Discourse Project
Families of September 11 (FOS11) is disappointed to learn that the Bush administration has not provided critical information to the former 9/11 commissioners. The New York Times recently reported commission members as saying: "the White House has failed to turn over any of the information requested by the 10 members of the disbanded Sept. 11 commission in their renewed, unofficial investigation into whether the government is doing enough to prevent terrorist attacks on American soil." The recommended actions which have not been carried out to date include the commission's call for a restructuring of Congressional oversight of the nation's spy agencies, as well as a major expansion of the government's nuclear nonproliferation efforts. In these times of continued threats against our citizens and our nation, we stand firm that our government must do all it can to counter and eliminate the terrorist threat.
The 9/11 Public Discourse Project, a non-profit organization founded by the 10 bipartisan commissioners, is engaging in noble work to determine what has and has not been done to make our country safer and more secure. Scores of people, including American and foreign diplomats and current and former members of Congress, have aided them in their work, testifying at their informational panels and providing up-to-date information on the status of terrorism prevention. The White House should follow their lead, and collaborate with the 9/11 Public Discourse Project, to shed light on all that the Administration has done to secure the homeland since the release of the 9/11 Commission Final Report. We know the 9/11 Public Discourse Project has been very active in sharing information before the general public in order to make our nation safer.
Having suffered the effects of counter-terrorism gone wrong, FOS11 is dedicated to ensuring terrorism prevention now goes right. We implore President Bush and his administration to embrace those working to make our country safer and aid them in their endeavor. There is too much at stake to engage in partisan politics or petty squabbles. Unless everyone works together, and information is shared, we will suffer the same gaps and failures that occurred in 2001.

GSA Takes Delivery of Ford's 15,000th Bi-Fuel Natural Gas Vehicle
June 29, 2000
Contact: Eleni Martin (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC - Earlier this week, the U.S. General Services Administration took delivery of Ford Motor Company's 15,000th bi-fuel natural gas vehicle.
After driving it off the assembly line, GSA's Assistant Commissioner of Office of Vehicle Acquisition and Leasing Services Les Gray handed over the keys to Thomas J. Gross, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Transportation Technologies. The bi-fuel natural gas F-150 pickup truck will be assigned to a Department of Energy research facility in New Mexico. The truck was built at Ford's Ontario Truck Plant in Oakville, Ontario and then shipped to GFI Control Systems, Inc. in Cambridge, Ontario for installation of alternative fuel tanks and fuel systems.
"Through our environmental program, called Planet GSA," said Gray, "we are committed to helping our customers buy, build, save, and drive green. The vehicles being produced by Ford and GFI are being used to support many of the most important missions of the federal government, and are helping our country meet its air quality and energy security goals."
In partnership, GSA and DOE developed the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Utilization Supporting Expansion of Refueling (AFV USER) program. This interagency program concentrates Federal AFV acquisitions in six cities (Albuquerque NM, Denver CO, Melbourne-Titusville FL, Minneapolis MN, Salt Lake City UT, and San Francisco CA). Concentrating AFV acquisitions is helping to build a market base for alternative fuel infrastructure and will help agencies meet the alternative fuel use requirements of E.O. 13149. GSA has committed up to $4 million in matching funds for its Federal customer agencies in the program areas to help pay down the incremental cost of AFVs, which average $4,500 more than conventionally-fueled vehicles.
The use of alternative fuel vehicles by federal agencies is expected to grow significantly over the next five years. Under a new Executive Order (E.O. 13149), Federal agencies are required to lower their annual petroleum consumption by at least 20 percent by 2005. The new Executive Order is one of several requirements designed to improve our nation's air quality through the use of low emission vehicles and reduce our dependence on foreign petroleum by using domestic energy sources such as natural gas.
Since 1991, GSA has purchased over 36,000 AFVs for its federal customers, including ethanol, methanol, natural gas, propane and electric vehicles. GSA also offers a variety of environmental services designed to make it easy for Federal fleets to acquire and operate AFVs, and is partnering with DOE on many initiatives to increase alternative fuel vehicle and fuel use in the Federal fleet.
