The BBC Radio 4 full cast dramatization! Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor. Together this dynamic pair begin a journey through space aided by quotes from The Hitchhikers Guide (A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have) and a galaxy-full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebroxthe two headed, three armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian, Zaphods girlfriend (formally Tricia McMillan), whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years. Where are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die? Why do we spend so much time between wearing digital watches? For all the answers stick your thumb to the stars. And dont forget to bring a towel!

DOUGLAS ADAMS was born in Cambridge in March 1952. He is best known as the creator of The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which started life as a BBC Radio 4 series. The book went on to be a No. 1 bestseller. He followed this success with The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (1980); Life, The Universe and Everything (1982); So Long and Thanks for all the Fish (1984); Mostly Harmless (1992) and many more. He sold over 15 million books in the UK, the US and Australia. Douglas died unexpectedly in May 2001 at the age of 49.From AudioFile:
The Earth is scheduled for demolition on a quiet Thursday afternoon, and Everyman Arthur Dent and his galactic guide, Ford Prefect, are lucky enough to catch a timely ride on a Vogon construction ship. So begins this quirky, intelligent sci-fi series, which first took the world by storm as a phenomenally successful BBC Radio series in 1978. The original full-cast performances and playful script sound positively gleeful and as irreverent as ever with a fresh digital remastering by ace British producer Dirk Maggs, who subtly mixed in new sound effects that were too costly or not available in the 1970s. For the longtime fan this recording will be like listening to an old friend. And for the neophyte looking to sample Douglas Adams's gentle comic genius, this is the perfect place to start.

I was looking for some information on the upcoming PHP 6 and I chanced on this blog.
Phil Sturgeon seems to strongly suggest that PHP 6 may not happen due to lethargy and political issues in the PHP core development team. I was a bit stunned to read this. Does anyone know if the Zend Corporation are really interested in continuing improvement in PHP or is it simply destined to perish because of out voting of new features that would be useful to the language but no one on the dev team cares enough about anymore?
Do you think we will ever see a PHP 6 ?
So you're really worried by one guy's (but, OMG it's Phil Sturgeon!!) minor rant from over a year ago? Don't be.
PHP is very, very healthy and continues to push on in leaps and bounds. Zend Technologies (not Corporation) continue to provide their input, of course. Also, as has been the case throughout the last decade and more, theirs is still only a small percentage of the huge number and range of contributions to PHP and its ecosystem. Great new features are being added all of the time, you just have to take a peek at the change logs (or not hide under a rock) to see that.
Yes we will see a PHP 6, or whatever number comes after 5, and it's going to be awesome. Don't worry! (:
I recently came across an article by the guy who created PHP in the first place that talked about plans for what sorts of changes are proposed to be included in PHP 7. If there is going to be a PHP 7 then presumably we will first see a PHP 6 and even if PHP 6 never eventuates, PHP 7 will ensure the survival of PHP.
Thats great, that we are talking about PHPx coming out to ensure survivability, but I agree here. PHP seems to lack vision, and thats scary to me. I can definitely see PHP loosing foothold in the next decade because of this combined with the possibility of something such as Go continuing to gain steam.
Don't get me wrong, it's going to stick around. But I see it sharing more of the field soon.
I don't know. I think it will still be a live til we're all gone. PHP seems to be the only server side language that is widely used over the internet. Not a lot of developers use ASP .NET or aspx. Well I have seen few websites use it, but I read somewhere that about 90% of websites on the internet uses WordPress. If you know anything about WordPress, it's PHP driven.
The main issue for me is when are all the website hosters going to convert from PHP v 5.3 to PHP v 5.5 or PHP v 5.6? I mean 5.3 seems to work just fine, but all the new features that 5.4 - 5.6 has, 5.3 doesn't and it makes me frustrated because I can't use features that are easy to implement when I'm stuck with PHP v 5.3.
Although the article was written a year ago, I think we'd all be a bit concerned with the fact that, these things are still happening, and they were identified a year ago! Features that seem to make logical sense with where the web needs to go, aren't being implemented because "they are too much work". Don't get me wrong, I love PHP and I hate PHP. There are just some things I feel it does terribly and others it is great, because I can churn out a complicated script quickly.
I don't see it ever "dying" as I'm sure someone will breath life back into it, but I really think it needs a better way to get its features approved and implemented. What that answer is, I haven't a clue, but obviously there are gaps in the current method.
One of the issues with PHP 6 is that it started out trying to change too much all in one go. It has since been recognised that to actually make progress that smaller steps need to be taken so that each change can actually be implemented in a reasonable time. The same destination can be reached but instead of having to wait ten years for it to be implemented in PHP 6 it might instead be implemented in PHP 12 but with most of the functionality being implemented in versions along the way.
It seems to become a problem with any software technology. Once its been around for awhile backward's compatibility and maintaining market share becomes an issue and makes it difficult for a language to progress.
On top of that many software web applications are slow to migrate to newer versions of php. And not only software applications but also web hosts and in particularly the low end to free web hosts seem to be particularly bad in keeping pace with the current version of php. So maybe its the php industry that's in more trouble rather than the language itself, possibly?
It is a big polemic to discuss here but, as a resume, if you have capable programmers you can do almost anything (from migration and patches to complete refactoring).So, stupid code must be removed and add some smart one instead. Of course, this is not an easy job.
$foo = "string";
echo strlen($foo); // Outputs: 6
echo $foo->length(); // Outputs: 6
Sounds nice. As long as we have backwards compatibility, I see no problem.
As far as PHP6 representing the future of PHP I don't think it is relevant. What I've read about the issue with PHP6 is that converting it to a true unicode support was extremely difficult to the point they gave up on it. Since work began and was abandoned on PHP6 there have been subsequent versions of PHP5 released. It is still advancing so I don't think there is any worry of it going away. The PHP6 issue is ONLY related to core unicode support, which isn't really necessary for most people's purposes - at least not mine.
At this point, I think there needs to be a future release to be looked at as a completely breaking release (much like python 2 to 3) that focuses on fixing the big issues of PHP, without worrying about backwards compatibility. Fix the unicode issue, CLEAN UP the standard library, fix the runtime to allow for proper multi threading and communication, etc.
I agree, PHP will continue to lose ground to other modern languages languages like python and ruby unless they make breaking changes to the standard library - it's a junk drawer. A lot can be improved by taking a more OO approach across the board and putting the massive list of global functions into appropriate places.
PHP has too many things, they should clean all the old bad practicies/functions in future versions, making a modern mainly object-oriented language
And this is indeed the basic problem. Wanting "they" to do stuff. How about "you" do this?
True enough @ahundiak; even if one doesn't know how to code in C there are plenty of opportunities http://www.php.net/get-involved.php
Contributing to PHP
Anybody who programs in PHP can be a contributing member of the community that develops and deploys it; the task of deploying PHP, documentation and associated websites is a never ending one. With every release, or release candidate comes a wave of work, which takes a lot of organization and co-ordination.
With the introduction of release managers comes a smoother release process, but help is still needed: testing release candidates, finding and squashing bugs in tests, documentation, and sources.Four Best Ways to Contribute
Running test suites in RC and release distributions of PHP
Help finding and diagnosing failed tests, see the phpt documentation
Filing and resolving bug reports at bugs.php.net
Help maintain and or translate documentation files at edit.php.net
Development of the PHP source
Someone hoping to become involved in the maintenance and development of the source should be experienced in all of the areas mentioned above, as this creates a strong team; everyone knows how every other part of the project works.
You will also need experience in C programming as PHP is written entirely in C.
Going from PHP back to C is kind of like going from an automobile back to horse and carriage.
Edit: That probably isn't the best comparison considering compiled languages are always faster than interpreted but memory management and make files, yuck. Especially for most of use devs who probably haven't touched C in years if ever.
I personally think PHP is fine for what it is. If you ever had to write things in C you would appreciate PHP. I get that more modern languages are flashier and what not but PHP is fine for what it needs to accomplish.
Yeah I second this. PHP should be moving at Python and Ruby's direction, a modern object oriented language. PHP right now is merely an object-capable language, it supports OOP but at its core PHP is not object oriented. Strings and Arrays for instance, are not objects and the object operators do not apply. Its also a better idea to make functions into first class objects, but I understand that it may be difficult.
You missed the point of the comment that you are referring to. The reference to C was because that's the language that PHP itself is written in. The code written using PHP is interpreted/compuled using code written in C in order to work out what the PHP commands mean.
Writing a language using the language itself is far more difficult than using a lower level language to write it in.
Possibly what needs to be done to help convert PHP into a more object oriented language would be to switch from C to C++ so that there is more of a one to one mapping from PHP built in objects to the actual definitions of those objects.
unfortunately, php has the same problem as a number of Microsoft apps (especially IE). While it's nice to say that you'll just break backwards compatibility, you're risking 1000's, if millions of lines of production code. Should the developers kept up? Absolutely! But like my boss said the other day. It's hard to justify rewriting code sometimes when you're in a time crunch.
It seems to me that PHP web hosts don't seem to have too many qualms about keeping old versions of PHP around. That means that developers of php products have to not use newer language features for a long time in order to cater for maximum market share, so if you're a web host and support 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 you are effectively supporting 3 script languages. If that's the case I don't see why they can't break backward compatibility in say the 6.0 series. At some point they are going to have to do a rewrite and that would be the right time to remove all the php embarrassment (imho). I suspect its being held up at committee level trying to decide what to break and what to carry forward.

Justin Bieber video model addresses Selena Gomez
Listen to Selena Gomez on iHeartRadio
Apparently Selena Gomez isn't happy with Justin Bieber's steamy new video for "All That Matters."
The star reportedly pulled a tweet-and-delete earlier this week with a selfie captioned, "I thought he only liked the Latina category."
According to the model featured in the video, Cailin Russo, Selena's comment was "clearly directed" at her. In an interview with "Cosmopolitan," Russo says while she's sure "they still have feelings for each other," she was "just doing [her] job."
But she also dished on what it was like to lock lips with the Biebs, adding that she actually got a speeding ticket the day after the shoot because she was still "on such a high." Russo says she's been getting death threats from Justin's fans on Twitter, after the star posted a photo of him kissing her on the cheek.

I have the following fucntion, which works. I would like to prevent the submission of the form in case that errorMessage.length is greater then 0. I tried with e.preventDefault, nothing, I try return false...nothing. Form is still submitted.

success: function(errorMessage){
if(errorMessage.length > 0) {
return false;
Any help?
The problem is that you are not determining if there is an error or not until after the ajax call returns which will be long after the default action will have run so trying to prevent the default from that point is too late.
Hi Stephen
Can you point me to some solution?
I already gave you the solution in your other thread http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?874746-getting-undefined-after-the-ajax-call&p=5170887&viewfull=1#post5170887
I have the following problem now...if user submit correctly his user name and password, he remain on the submit form...he is not redirected on the login page. In any case, he remain stucked in the login form.
How are you managing the redirect as your above code doesn't have anything that would redirect a user.
HiI have the redirect in php file, named loginCheck. Should I redirect the user from javascript in case that errorMessage is empty? Is that the way how it should work?
Ajax requests are client side so any server redirection won't have any effect because the page physically hasn't changed to a new URL, what you will need to do is send back a success/error message and use your JavaScript to run a quick check on the reply back from the server.
Ugh...any code snippet how that should look like?
In your PHP code you would have something like the below
function loginCheck() {
$return = array(
'status' => false,
'message' => 'You\\'re login attempt has failed!'
$isAuthenticated = true;
// Simple login check, this is just an example so you're code will differ
if ($isAuthenticated) {
$return['status'] = true;
$return['message'] = 'You have successfully been logged in!';
Then your JavaScript would look something like this
formLogin.on('submit', function(e) { e.preventDefault();
type : 'POST',
url : 'loginCheck',
data : $(formLogin).serialize(),
dataType : 'json',
success : function(r) {
if (r.status) {
window.location = 'link-goes-here';
} else {
// You could also use the status message from the response
// alert(r.message);
Thanks a ton mate. It works like a charm now. Finnaly.
Once again, thanks to all that spend their time to answer my questions.

Human survivability with supply chain disruptions and its effect on populations
I wanted to start a new topic, and I'd like it to be a serious discussion based on critical thinking, not opinion. I'm interested in supply chain disruptions and the long term effects of a decrease in population as a result of that disruption.
Disclosure: I am a prepper. I've been writing daily numerous posts in Last Minute Tips for Parents When the SHTF. That said, I'm interested to hear from preppers and non-preppers and have zero axe to grind. I'm actually hoping that I have flawed thinking and am not looking at some aspect in enough detail. You're doing me a service to challenge my assertions. Think of it like challenging a dissertation.
Having looked at this issue for many decades and being an educated person, I've looked at many key areas and also historical events. Of course any scenario can depict such a high level of chaos that severe population reduction would occur, and so I wanted to pick what I believe to be a plausible scenario.
Scenario: an economic collapse of the USA due to loss of confidence in the dollar results in severe supply chain issues, extreme unemployment, a sharp reduction in government spending, and a recall of our military stateside to assist in restoring order. While many factories can retool to create supplies, that will take time. We have many natural resources, but they'd have to be extracted in operations that are either not under operation or not currently built. The collapse has just begun. What will be the population impact over the course of one year?
Assume that the most effort from the government will be to prioritize the highest populations, with the Northeast being the largest urban areas and less effected by drought than the Great Plains. The Northeast has a short growing season and is not suited for large scale agriculture. The Great Plains however supply our wheat, grains, and much livestock. Arid regions in the West will very hard hit as their soils may not support agriculture (crops and livestock) to any large degree. Today much of existing water is piped from one part of the country to another based upon a lack of rainfall in that region and too much demand on their aquifers from their population versus local populations with less demand.
Each of those areas will require the deployment of large amounts of soldiers and technicians, and they will need supplies (water, food, medicines, other) as well creating a new supply chain issue just for the additional personnel.
Water supply
There is a current drought of historic proportions across much to the USA. Water is needed for agriculture, livestock, human water consumption, cleaning, as well as for industrial manufacturing processes of many different kinds. A human being can go three days without water as long as they are not doing a great deal of activity and based upon the temperature and humidity.
The status of water is getting grim with lower amounts of seasonal rainfall due to Wintertime, plus the historic drought, reductions in aquifers (in some cases severe like the Ogallala), and stream water reductions(including lakes and rivers from rainfall and snowmelt).
Impact: If we had supply chain issues for water purification, or the means of using utilities to power up the operation, then the water supply could be initially compromised and may result in no operation. This is the most likely scenario for severe conflict as water is so vital to life.
While boiling at the individual homes will remove pathogens, this isn't an option for businesses. Nor do business have the technical or human resource capability to gather water. We could expect to see a vast increase in improper sanitation as a result of hurried preparation, inconsistency of technique, and noncompliance.
Boiling doesn't remove chemicals in the water that are filtered. We'll expose people to these and boiling only concentrates them. As the water get progressively worse, bacterial counts may be excessive, and longer and longer boiling may be needed.
While some people have common bleach in their homes, many will not, or will have scented versions. Bleach would be a high demand item which will create a shortage. Pool shock is better and long lasting, but in much short supply due to typically very low demand. The latter will run out fast. Priority will likely be given to gear up the creation of both products.
Boiling means using an alternative heating source, and wood may not be available. Seasoned wood takes time to dry. While some areas have forests, they are sparse in many urban areas, nonexistent in much of the Great Plains. There is a death of them in some other regions, and transporting wood is expensive.
[Coal operations will be a priority to power utilities to run boiler operations. Coal is largely transported on river barges, and many are at historic lows which result in lower payloads on those barges that can navigate. Some rivers may become impossible to navigate, which would result in higher demand for railroad transport or trucking, both of which have their own supply needs.]
As the water utilities fail, rainfall can be collected, but only seasonally. Low humidity times will decrease yields due to evaporation. Most people have no equipment to collect it. Some will improperly collect it due to lack of technical ability. Some will accidentally contaminate it.
Wells can be dug, however most will probably dig shallow point wells which can be contaminated by garbage and fecal matter in the absence of garbage collection and disruption of the sewers. Deeper wells are safer, but regardless equipment is necessary for both and instruction to make them, plus maintenance, and sanitary practices. Biosand filtration will result in a 97% reduction in pathogens from garbage and fecal matter, but still that's a high level of new pathogens (and cumulatively being added in the civilian population), and only if wells are constructed. These will take time, and based upon the weather, so we can't expect this as a short term solution.
Some water collection from reservoirs (lakes and streams) will result in very high chemical content, poisons from pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and very high pathogen levels. Accessibility is a major issue since this requires altering existing easements to allow people access. We can expect major conflict at these locations based on fear, theft, and trespassing. We can expect severe health issues from this practice.
As people die from disruptions and violence, burials will occur in local communities and we can expect some pollution from this into groundwater sources. Agricultural efforts in those same communities will add to initially more chemical runoff, and fecal matter.
Question: How many people do you think will die from dehydration or pathogen effects in one week's time? Using totals which include the previous result, how many will die in a month's time? In a year?
Food supply
Many food spoil in the absence of refrigeration (frozen meats being the primary concern for loss of proteins, but also fruits and vegetables; milk products are refrigerated and hence impossible to source; other meats, produce, etc are refrigerated.).
Most grains are dried and long lasting. Canned food won't spoil. Some other food products are dehydrated, but are uncommon.
The average American home has 3-7 days of food in it, not including frozen, but with a utility loss, that will be lost in a few days and probably wasted.
Non-obese people can live three weeks without food, but only if sedentary. That's highly unlikely in a collapse. Obese people can live up to three months without food if sedentary. Estimates of the obese population in America by the classical definition (over 30) has been estimated as high as 75% in some states.
We have some stockpiled food, but most likely this will be enough for military operations and critical infrastructure personnel.
There are not many rural folks (16%) and many no longer raise crops or livestock. We can gear up, but that takes time and is weather-based. We'll have to train a lot of people. Many foods are imported.
High activity for work to source firewood and water and gathered food will require a commensurate increase in caloric intake.
We can expect a large number of vitamin and mineral deficiencies as we saw in the beginning of the 20th Century and a vast increase in medical care for them. Priority should be given to vitamin production but many are made in foreign countries. This will take time to retool factories, hire workers, gather supplies,etc.
Few wild plants and their fruits and nuts can be gathered from the meadows and trees without damage to the areas in which they are harvested. Produce may be taken when under or over mature, and will impact local ecology by subtracting from insect, animal food supply, and then reduce humus levels in the soil. These plants are seasonally harvested. It's now Winter, and we can expect to not harvest until late June for most of the plants, and often the Autumn to produce the highest amounts. Many would be dead by that time.
Agriculture is contingent upon water, fertile soil, tools to break sod (for the land is not tilled), training, seeds, etc. Soils can be slowly raised in fertility, but these require even more specialized techniques and soil amenities like fertilizers, pest controls, pH modifiers, sand to create spacing between clay soils, etc.
Since food will take seasons for planting and harvesting, most of that will be too late for the majority of most Americans even with working under starvation conditions. Some produce will be harvested in June, with progressively higher amounts in July and August and September, but only in fertile areas. Since this is so multifactorial in scope, it's probably unrealistic for this to save people until those harvest times.
Wild game has been severely affected in many drought areas as have fish populations. Those are only hunted or fished in their season. These require special equipment, chemicals, ammunition, training. If taken out of season we can expect extinction. If taken in their season, we can also expect extinction.
Trapping produces the most meat or fish, with less supplies and caloric energy, but it's beyond the capability of most people. While we have many firearms and some fishing poles, many are not skilled enough to rely upon subsistence hunting, trapping, and fishing in any reliable way.
Additionally we can expect high levels of injury, accidental wounds, and deaths from these activities.
Question: How many people do you think will die from starvation effects in one month's time? Using totals which include the previous result, how many will die in a in a year?
Next up medicines.

Kings Of Leon Drummer Nathan Followill 'Banged Up' In Accident
Listen to Kings of Leon Radio on iHeartRadio
Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill is feeling "a little banged up" after a tour bus accident in Boston this weekend.
A post on the band's Facebook page says they were en route to their hotel after Saturday night's show when a pedestrian jumped in front of the bus. The driver stopped short, and Followill was left with broken ribs.
He took to Twitter Sunday morning to thank everyone for all the "get well soons," and says he'll be "back better than ever."
Thank you for all of the get well soons. I'm a little banged up but will be back better than ever.
— nathan followill (@doctorfollowill) August 10, 2014
Saw a tweet that said I had died. Not quite, but it feels close. Who knew that you use your ribs for EVERYTHING. pic.twitter.com/qVXwzySqNb
— nathan followill (@doctorfollowill) August 11, 2014
Thanks again for all of the well wishes. Best family, friends & fans in the whole wide world.
— nathan followill (@doctorfollowill) August 11, 2014
Nathan's brother and Kings' bassist Jared Followill also tweeted about the accident, which he called "so sad." He said the band's current trek had been their "most fun" outing in a while, and promised to be back on the road ASAP.
So sad this a.m.. Bus accident last night. Nathan has broken ribs. This was the most fun tour in a while. We'll be back ASAP. #GetWellNate
— Jared Followill (@youngfollowill) August 10, 2014
Followill's injuries forced the band to postpone Sunday night's tour stop in Saratoga Springs, New York, and it remains unclear if the accident will affect any more of the group's upcoming gigs. They're scheduled to perform on NBC's "Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Tuesday, followed by a concert in Wantagh, New York on Wednesday.

Auburn, Ala. - Portions of the Frank Brown Recreation Center (FBRC), including the fitness area, racquetball courts, and back restrooms, will be closed to the public Wednesday, May 15 - Friday, May 17 for construction work. Classes and programs held in the classroom area of the building will proceed as scheduled. The areas closed during construction will reopen on Saturday, May 18.
In January 2012, Auburn voters approved a package of public improvement projects as part of the Special Five Mill Tax Referendum. The project includes Phase II of reconstruction at the Frank Brown Recreation Center, allowing for additional classroom space, a conference room for meetings and seminars, facade improvements, a new racquetball court, and parking improvements. Construction at the FBRC is expected to be completed by the end of summer.

Tia Smart and her Kid Power charity drive are now in junior high school, where she has renamed her idea Teens for Turkeys and has expanded her five-year-old program of rasing money to buy Thanksgiving and Christmas turkeys to feed the less advantaged.
I began writing about Tia five years ago when she was 8 and in third grade at Redeemer Lutheran. She recruited neighborhood and school chums as young as 5 to go door-to-door and collect contributions for the turkeys.
Tia and her army of kids raised $2,070, with a $1,500 match from Dan's Foods, enough to purchase 400 turkeys and 800 cans of food, which they personally delivered to the Utah Food Bank that first year.
She has been going strong ever since, using her organizational and fundraising talents through her fourth- and fifth-grade years at Redeemer and her sixth-grade stint at Oakridge Elementary.
During those four years, Tia and her Kid Power band have raised enough money through door-to-door solicitations and fundraisers to purchase nearly 3,400 pounds of turkeys for the food bank.
Now, Tia is a seventh-grader at Wasatch Junior High School and her newly named Teens for Turkeys are at it again.
They have raised $3,200 so far and plan to deliver 250 turkeys to the food bank for Thanksgiving. They will continue their efforts and hope to purchase several hundred more turkeys, thanks in part to a discount on the birds offered to the youthful philanthropists by the new Walmart on Parleys Way.
They also have merged their fund drive with Wasatch Junior High's years-long program of aiding its adopted elementary school, Woodrow Wilson, located in a low-income area of Granite District.
Wasatch, for years, has donated to the second-graders at Woodrow Wilson hand-made blankets made by student volunteers using donated fleece.
The Wasatch students also have raised enough money each year to buy a book for each second-grader at Woodrow Wilson and put on a program for the school, complete with Santa Claus.
After learning about Tia, their new enterprising seventh-grader, the student body officers at Wasatch incorporated her turkey program into their traditional fund drive and have been collecting money for turkeys in the lunch room every day. So, besides the blankets, the books and Santa Claus, each second-grader at Woodrow Wilson will get a turkey this year.
Protect your email • State Democratic Chairman Jim Dabakis smelled a rat right away.
The email he received from Liz Muniz, one of his party's candidates for the Legislature who lost a narrow race to Republican Craig Hall, painted a picture of desperation.
"This message is coming to you with great depression due to my state of discomfort," the email read. "I came down here to Manila, Philippines, with my family for a short vacation but unfortunately, we were mugged and robbed at the park of the hotel where we stayed. All cash, credit cards and cellphones were stolen off us but we still have our lives and passports."
It went on to ask for a quick $850 loan to help her get home.
So Dabakis, on hisK-TALK radio program Saturday, called Muniz at her home in Salt Lake County and, lo and behold, she's not in the Philippines.
But whoever hacked into her email to con money out of her friends also erased all the emails she had built up over several years.
As if being a Democrat in Utah wasn't hard enough.
Frugal Republicans • Gay Larson, another unsuccessful Democratic candidate for the House of Representatives this year, was one of the candidates who received a form letter from Salt Lake County Auditor Gregory P. Hawkins that congratulated her for running for office.
The letter spoke of their heroism and sacrifice for being a candidate.
Hawkins, a Republican who won office two years ago on the promise he would protect taxpayer money, wrote the letter on official Salt Lake County stationery and mailed it in an official Salt Lake County envelope.

I've used this product for a year to prevent UTIs. Before using this I had them frequently but with daily use it's kept me healthy for the past year. This was my first purchase from iHerb and I am 100% satisfied with the service. The order was received two days after ordering, was carefully packaged, and the price was cheaper than at the local health food stores. Before ordering from iHerb I purchased this product in health food stores, usually having to special order it and always being charged about $4 more.
The best cranberry product

I tried many cranberry products, to prevent urinary tract infections which I had often until I tried this Ultra cranberry. It is absolutely the best. Only one pill daily is sufficient for optimal effect, other ingredients boost my energy, simply I feel good.Strongly recommend for prevention of urinary tract infections and strengthening and protection of urinary tract, tested on my self.

There is NOTHING similar between the 2 devices except they are both tablets.
They both look different and run different OS's.
This is just Apples way of killing off the competition. I think the judge was paid off for this to go forward.
More proof Apple dont know how to play nice and are b@#$%ards.
whatever ... play it smart and buy stock in both companies. ah, is there any such thing as samsung stock?
also it has nothing to do with being like the ipad(well in away it does) it has to do with patents. And samsung does just flood the market with millions of devices. By that i mean samsung only has a good share of the market cause it makes a million different types of phones and doesnt care if it infringes on patents cause it already made money off of it. The judge is right they do just flood the market with every type of phone including ones that are iphone copy cats or infringe on patents just so they can get more customers.
sure apple cant sue every single person but samsung deserves it they dont test there software on half of the phones they make cause they make too many phones (most of which are crappy) the only ones they focus on are there big ones like galaxy s 3 etc.
I wish Samsung would innovate more, there are obvious rip offs of Apple in some of their products which is unfortunate. A little more time, effort, innovation, and money and they could have had something new and amazing to call their own. I think the ruling is correct.
Two different cars, right? They're obviously both black sedans, but they're not the same car.
Two different phones, right? They're obviously both white candy-bar smartphones, but they're not the same phone.
^^That's the meat of Apple's claim. They're not obviously two different tablets, made by two different companies.
While I will admit they look somewhat similar (so does just about everything these days) I don't see how it warrants a ban. I own both and am I huge Android phone fanatic. Admittedly, Google has really dropped the ball on tablets. Either way, I don't see this as being warranted. The iPad, and all Apple products for that matter, use the standard circular button. The lack of that button on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 should be enough by itself to bypass this design trademark.
At the end of the day, I feel this is just another patent that was granted by a broken system. Companies should be able to protect their IP but only if it is truly innovative - and the shape/design of the iPad most certainly was not.

RIU Hotels & Resorts works on a daily basis to develop its business in a way that is progressively more responsible towards the environment and the community. For this purpose, the Corporate Social Responsibility team has an ambitious Action Plan which focuses on three main areas: environment, society and human resources. We invite you to discover the commitments and objectives that RIU has set in each of these fields, as well as its achievements.
RIU works with 'Pequeño Valiente', an association that helps children with cancer Alle ansehen »
Carmen Riu, CEO of RIU, has signed an agreement to support the 'Asociación de Padres Unidos Pequeño Valiente'. Through this agreement, the hotel chain will contribute €12,000 to cover, for a year, the expenses of having a home near the Las Palmas Mother and Child Hospital in order to provide accommodation for those families who need to go to Las Palmas while their ill children receive treatment.
RIU found out about the remarkable work done by this association through its vice-president and co-founder, José Juan Jerez Castro, who works for RIU in Gran Canaria. He was accompanied by his daughter Julia and by Cristina García-Machín Angulo, the President of 'Pequeño Valiente', who signed the agreement with RIU on behalf of the association.
The 'Asociación de Padres Unidos Pequeño Valiente' is a charity created by parents of children attending the Onco-hematology Department of the Las Palmas Mother and Child Hospital, with the aim of improving the quality of life of children with cancer and their families.
This agreement is a step forward in the achievement of the goals established in RIU's Corporate Social Responsibility Strategic Plan, which, in terms of working with and helping the community, has identified the child health programme as a priority. That is why it supports different foundations, associations and hospitals that work with ill or disabled children.
'Pequeño Valiente' has been registered in the Canary Island Register of Associations since February 2007. In May 2009, it joined the Spanish Federation of Parents of Children with Cancer, which was awarded the 2013 prize for the Best Patient Support Organisation by the Fundación Tecnología y Salud.
RIU creates a National Wildlife Refuge in Guanacaste Alle ansehen »
RIU has established a Private National Wildlife Refuge on the plot of land it owns in the coastal Mountain Range of Matapalo, next to the chain's two hotels in Costa Rica. This protected natural area occupies 200 hectares of land which is of great value for the biodiversity of Guanacaste. Creation of the RIU Refuge was officially announced in Gazette 241 of 13th December 2013, under Executive Decree No. 37993-MINAE
The RIU Refuge contains 250 flora and fauna species. It specifically has 140 plant species, including precious wood trees such as the Mahogany, Cachimbo and Black Laurel trees, in danger of extinction, and 10 orchid species; also over 80 species of resident and migratory birds; some 30 species of mammals (including 12 bat species), and over 10 reptile species, as detailed by biologist Gerardo Barboza Jiménez, who belongs to the Foundation for Balance between Conservation and Development (FUNDECODES) and carried out the field research and the Management Plan.
"For the RIU Hotels chain it was extremely satisfying for the country's National Conservation Areas System (SINAC) to approve its proposal to create this Refuge with the objective of protecting, preserving and managing the ecosystems it encompasses for a period of 10 years, which may be extended", pointed out Catalina Alemany, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at RIU Hotels. "Thanks to this important project, RIU has taken one step further in its CSR Plan which contemplates several biodiversity protection projects in the communities where it operates", she added.
This plot of land forms part of the Chorotega Biological Corridor and, therefore, favours biological connectivity between Protected Wildlife Areas of the country in this region. It is of high environmental, economic and social value, while complying with several national conservation-related objectives, such as scenic interest, biodiversity protection, local balance of water resources and its carbon sink function.
The company hopes to become carbon neutral by 2015 thanks to this function and to the efforts made by RIU to reduce its energy consumption.
RIU's conservation effort is in line with the conservation objectives of the Costa Rican State through a model of alliances between the private sector and the SINAC. This is an important contribution towards the conservation of Costa Rica's natural heritage in the Canton of Carrillo.
The main objectives of the Refuge are the protection, conservation and natural restoration of the forest, aquifer recharging, ensuring its function as a biological corridor, avoiding hunting, together with preventing and controlling forest fires as they are the main threat to this environment. A Management Plan was created to attain this, regulating the activities to be carried out so as to achieve the highest level of protection for the area's natural wealth.
RIU offers its full collaboration to the researchers and civil servants of the SINAC for them to visit the protected area, while the latter provide RIU the advice and collaboration the company requires to ensure the long-term conservation of the ecosystems present in the Refuge.

RIU certifies over 50% of its range with the Travelife 'Gold Award' Alle ansehen »
Six RIU hotels in Playa de Palma and Calas de Mallorca in Spain, as well as three hotels in Mexico (Riu Emerald Bay, Riu Cancun and Riu Caribe) have recently received the 'Travelife Gold Award', a recognition that certifies them as environmentally and socially responsible hotels. Over 50% of the chain's hotels are now certified with a 'Travelife Gold Award', taking it one step further in its Corporate Social Responsibility plan.
The RIU hotels in the Canary Islands received their certification this summer, while hotels in Andalusia and the Algarve, were awarded certifications with the gold standard in September. Certified hotels are found in Spain, Cape Verde, Portugal, Morocco, Mexico and Bulgaria. RIU is next set to audit its hotels in the Dominican Republic and Cuba as well as the remaining ones in Mexico. This successful project means that by the end of 2013 more than 75% of RIU's range will be certified as environmentally and socially responsible.

Until they can each come up with $30,000 in bail, or until their cases are finished in court, they will remain at the jail.
In the meantime, Chiefland city leaders fell they must deal with what they see as a public health hazard. The house is full of garbage and feces, as well as roaches, rats and ants.
Even with all of the windows and doors shut, the pungent stench can be smelled for yards away.
