One week might seem like an awfully short time to both conceive a fundraising event and bring it to fruition. What's more, twenty-seven gumballs and twenty-seven dollars probably sound like strange and scant resources for such an undertaking. Undergraduates in Assistant Professor Anastasiya Zavyalova Strategic Management classes proved up to the task, raising over $11,000 during the Gumball Challenge.
"The idea of the Gumball Challenge is to use limited resources to help someone in need," explained Dr. Zavyalova. Fourteen teams ranging from four to six students each were given the gumballs and a small sum of money and told to raise as much capital as they could within seven days. All proceeds went to charities of each team's choosing.
The challenge itself originated at Stanford University in 2007 as a student competition. It expanded to other schools the next year, as a centrally run competition, and while it is no longer organized in such a manner, it is still commonly undertaken at schools throughout the nation. Familiar with the challenge, Dr. Zavyalova decided to initiate it here at Rice during her first year of teaching at the university.
"The twenty-seven dollars is representative of the original micro-loan made by Muhammad Yunus," noted Dr. Zavyalova. Yunus' work in developing the concepts of microcredit and microfinance earned him and the Grameen Bank a Nobel Peace Prize in 2006. He was also the speaker at Rice commencement in 2010.
The gumballs themselves represent people in poverty. "Such a small amount – twenty five cents – helps a gumball come out of the machine," Dr. Zavyalova explained, "in the same way, a small amount of money can help people come out of poverty."
For Dr. Zavyalova, the Gumball Challenge was an alternative to having her Strategic Management students merely writing another paper on what they'd learned in a class. "I wanted them to have a hands-on experience with some aspects of running a company, including scanning the environment and identifying competitive forces — the other teams — and conducting internal analysis to figure out everyone's skills and capabilities."
Time was the largest obstacle for most students competing in the project. With only a week to undertake the task, students were forced to make decisions on how to efficiently carry out the project while maintaining their already busy schedules.
"We really had to economize our time and efforts," said Scott Norgaard '13. "We came up with a lot of ideas for fundraising during our brainstorming sessions, but we ruled out many of them because they would be too time- or labor-intensive. In business, you are also constrained by time and resources, and must manage your use of both," he stated.
The gumballs are largely symbolic at this point, with some teams choosing to implement them into fundraising efforts, but most teams opted for multiple strategies in order to maximize returns by utilizing diverse skill sets.
"The hardest part was convincing individuals to part with their money without soliciting. We had to somehow create value for people," said Kai Sheng '13. "Many of the common fundraising tactics on campus… churn out low profits. Therefore we tried to offer specialized services at higher prices to individuals on campus. I offered photography sessions at a discounted rate. Another student on our team tutored for financial interview preparation."
One team embraced the fundraising challenge while also striving to emulate Yunus' mission of helping people out of poverty. Requesting sponsorship donations for their time, the team went to a homeless shelter to help people with building resumes. While that team did not raise the most funds, one person they helped with a resume wound up getting a job as a result.
The students were under pressure not only by their time and resource constraints, but also by the weight of the project, which was worth twenty-five percent of their grade in the course. However, the teams stood up to the challenge, exceeding Dr. Zavyalova's expectations for the project. "I was overwhelmed personally. I really did not expect them to raise so much money in so little time," she said. "One team alone raised $3866. I believe this is more than any participating team in the United States has ever raised."
Dr. Zavyalova's personal goals for the project were a rousing success as well. In addition to having her students gain the hands-on experience and provide help to someone in need, she wanted her students to get to know each other better. "I wanted them to have fun. They live in different colleges and have different majors, and I liked that they made some new friends."

Post subject: Pocket queries
OK, I know I'm behind the times.
I just ran my first ever pocket query last night. Voila! Wonderful! I ended up getting a 109K zipped file into my Yahoo e-mail account. Can't recall how many caches it included. It was a .gpx (or whatever) file. I hadn't been using that type of file and was happily surprised to see it placed little geocaching symbols on all the waypoints (which the .loc or whatever file didn't) on my Garmin Etrex Legend.
So... filled with glee
I went ahead to run some more pocket queries. I greatly increased the amount of cache numbers from the first time, up to 500. I have run this in slightly different variations for three or four times -- and have received nothing through on my Yahoo e-mail!
Here are things I selected in the query:
1. Run Saturday (later I switched it to Sunday, but no, there was no e-mail awaiting me)
2. Run it once and delete it
3. 500 caches (later trimmed back to 250 caches on Sunday - still no e-mail with my query!)
4. Selected types: traditional and earthcaches
5. That I A) haven't found; B) don't own; and C) are active
6. I chose nothing for terrain or difficulty
7. Within: None selected
8. From origin: Postal code, for which I listed my zip (I am south of Rochester)
9. Within radius: 150 miles
10. I did not select anything under "placed during" or the attributes area
11. Output: to this account's email (as noted, it's a yahoo address)
12. Use .gpx
13. compress into a Zip file
Each time I went to the preview page and there were a whole bunch of caches listed on multipe webpages (this is how I'd always downloaded coordinates before, by getting a list of all caches near a certain cache, and then taking that list and entering it - page by page by page - into Easy GPS for transfer)
OK, why I am I not getting the e-mail? I realize it says some programs pick these things up as supposed viruses. Do I need to try sending it to my home e-mail?
Or have I chosen too many things? Or things that conflict? I am wondering, in putting parameters of say 500 geocaches (or 250) over 150 miles - well, which parameter is the limiting factor? I would think it's the # of caches....
Help! Thanks!

Are you creating a new PQ entry each time or editing the one you just did?
I have moved this to Tech Talk and no, it's not the same as the PQ threads we have recently seen.
Sad state of affairs.

Patience! If you make several PQ's in a day, the first one usually arrives quickly. After that, the others may take hours.

Yeah, each PQ only runs once a day so if you make changes to the same PQ, it won't run until tomorrow. If you make a new PQ, it will run, but you can only run 5 different PQs total per day.

Each query is only run once per day selected, even if you edited it. To make another query show up you'd need to create a whole new query, not just edit the original one which already ran.
Remember also that you are only able to run 5 queries per day.

Let's see...
I did the first one - Then went in and changed things and titled it something different. Didn't see anything come in my e-mail from that. At that point I may have edited things and not changed the title of it... but later I always did.
Musta tried it seven or eight times.
Have yet to see any more PQs in e-mail. Did try sending it to my home e-mail, also.
Also, I believe I had on them to run the query once and delete (although I may have missed it once in my re-editing and then calling the query something else, which would seem to be the same as a "save as" when using a template Word document for something else, at least that's the way I see that)
So if it was to run once and delete, then what?
Anyhoo... What's my next move here? Right now I am in a really bad mood - Nothing to do with you guys, but my Jeep had red spray paint on the door this a.m. and I am awaiting police. Got most of it off with soap and water (if police can't get their butts here, well, I understand getting the paint off before it dries is utmost important - especially to me! Only liability insurance on my beloved '88 Jeep Cherokee. Still have a lovely red doorhandle and reddish tan striping and paint to get off window and plastic... but I digress)
(oh yeah and am stuck here instead of being out doing something)
Thanks for the info you can only run 5 PQ a day.
Also, did my parameters otherwise sound OK on that request for the PQ?

Changing the name doesn't make any difference. If the date in the far right column is today, it won't run again until tomorrow. I'm not sure about the parameters. Just click on the preview link to see if it's returning what you need/want.

As GP said, if the date in the right column is today's date then it won't run again today, no matter what you edit. If you set it to run once and then delete it then it will be gone in a day or two.
To get it to send you a pq via email as fast as possible you'd need to create a new one, not edit an existing one.
As for the parameters, if you're seeing what you want when you preview the pq then you're parameters are good - the email will contain all of (and only) the caches that you see in the preview.

A Riverside jury convicted a Moreno Valley school board member of 23 felonies charges including pimping and pandering and filing false insurance claims.
Mike Luis Rios, 42, was taken into custody immediately after the verdict was read today inside the Riverside Superior courthouse, said John Hall, public information officer for the Riverside County District Attorney's office.
Rios used a variety of means to persuade four women and two girls to work as prostitutes for him, officials said.
Rios was originally charged with 35 felonies involving six victims - two who are under-aged girls. But at the end of the trial, shortly before the jury began their deliberations, the judge dismissed nine pandering counts - leaving the defendant with 26 counts, Hall said.
Jurors began their deliberations about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday.
In addition to the guilty verdicts, the jury found Rios not guilty of one rape count, Hall said. They were hung on another rape count and a pandering count.
The trial started at the end of January. The defendant took the stand during the trial and denied all the allegations.
Rios, who is facing a maximum of 33 years in prison, is scheduled to be sentenced on March 8.
Rios has another case pending, in which he is charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and influencing testimony by bribe, according to Riverside court officials. There was a hearing today in which attorneys discussed trial readiness.
Rios is expected to be in court for the next hearing in this case on April 12.

He already did, talk to Fube, Baze, or Zof.
momma on the phone askin if im still trappin
yeah, its not me. i post the battle on saturday at about 5pm eastern.
it has to wait for mod approval. thats why they're picking new mods
ahhh, alright i see, bs should just set it up so you can do it, would be abit easier
the only one that needs to watch what they say here is you.
you post this twice?
dude, all it takes is a pm. you guys stopped pm'ing me to approve your battles.
i understand your a vagrent fan boy but speak for yourself bitch.
i made this toy battle like it is, it was 20 times worse before i did this. but you wouldnt know that because you joined in dec.
if a "mini mod" can no longer post battles, they are suposed to appoint someone who can. looks like that didnt happen.
anyway, your mouth is starting to piss me off.

Sargent: CNN Admits That On-Air Commentator Worked For Insurance Industry, Promises Full Disclosure
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From Sargent's "The Plum Line" blog:
CNN has acknowledged in a statement to me that a high-profile Republican commentator who frequently discusses health care on the air is also the media buyer for one of the ad campaigns bankrolled by America's Health Insurance Plans, the major industry trade group currently waging war against the White House and Dem reform proposals.
CNN tells me his ties to the industry will be disclosed in the future.
The CNN contributor, well-known GOP consultant Alex Castellanos, is best known for producing the racially-charged "Hands" ad, has repeatedly appeared on the network attacking Dem health care plans and the public option, which is strongly opposed by AHIP.
Castellanos's consulting firm, National Media, also recently placed over $1 million of TV advertising for AHIP, according to info obtained by Media Matters. AHIP's most recent $1 million ad buy attacks the health care plan as a threat to Medicare.
This connection, you'd think, should be disclosed whenever Castellanos appears on CNN discussing health care. Asked for comment, CNN spokesperson Edie Emery acknowledged the tie and promised full disclosure in the future. She emailed:
"When Alex Castellano returns from his vacation and next appears on CNN, we will clearly disclose to our viewers relevant information including his firm's relationship with AHIP."
CNN doesn't appear to have known about Castellano's work, and this is not the first time outside help retained by AHIP in the health care wars has created a PR mess. AHIP took heavy criticism after the firm it retained to release a study faulting the reform proposals publicly undercut its own findings.

text: Unlike Taylor Armstrong's black eye, I don't think the one Dina Lohan is sporting is caused by plastic surgery. After the NY Daily News published their interview with Dina, Entertainment Tonight secured the photo above of Dina sporting a black eye. Michael has never said he didn't punch Dina, only that she started it by throwing an ice tray at him and when he swung to avoid it he punched her. Purely unintentional of course. Uh huh. Just like all his other domestic violence arrests. What I don't like is how Dina is trying to convince the world this is why Lindsay is all messed up. There are lots of people who have parents that were abused who are just fine and break the cycle of abuse. I also think Dina is trying to score a book deal because she says that she will tell her story and wants to tell her story. I guess she figures that if Lindsay can't earn Dina much more money, then Dina is going to have to make money the same way as her ex. Selling stories about the family.

Charli XCX Almost Used Ghost's Voice on Her New Album
Photo: Getty Images
By Kathleen Perricone
Charli XCX has been everywhere lately — between her own hit single "Boom Clap" and collaboration with Iggy Azalea, "Fancy" — and she's showing no signs of slowing down.
The British singer called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Thursday morning, just after accepting the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (watch video below), to talk about all of that, plus the MTV Video Music Awards this Sunday, for which she's up for five awards!
JoJo Wright, who has been filling in for Ryan this week, also had to ask about a supernatural experience Charli had recently at a haunted house.
"I was in Sweden in the countryside doing some recording for my record," she explains. "There was this weird vibe in this house. It was actually this huge hotel we were staying in, kind of like The Shining. We had done some research and found out that there was a woman who had drowned herself in the lake outside the house when her husband had died in the 1900s. In this documentary, it said that she still lived in the house as a ghost … So we set up a microphone and left it recording all night and at about 5 or 6 a.m., we picked up this noise that was like, 'Oooohhhhh.' We pitched it up three octaves and it was a woman's voice talking … it was cool!"
Although Charli — who just dropped her second single, "Break the Rules" — had planned to use the woman's voice as a sample for a track on her upcoming album, Sucker, which will be out on October 21, she decided it against it. "People would think I was casting spells on them or something," she joked.
"Break the Rules" is available on iTunes now here!

This night has a special lineup of up'n'comer's in Trap, Hip-Hop, Glitch, Dubstep and Drumstep! We ♥ our fans, thanks for supporting us so heavily, in doing so we can keep bringing you these extra heavy lineups!
K Theory:
As 2012 comes to a close, pay close attention to a sly pair of audio architects that have been steadily crafting original sounds with emotional heft, rupturing basslines, and a broken beat technique that has become all their own. With an arsenal of chart-topping tracks including over 80 original productions & remixes, K THEORY, have marked their definitive pathway through the electronic & bass mus
ic soundscape. Throughout the year K THEORY has dominated Beatport, as well as hype machine claiming top spots on both sites, and have had multiple premieres on Earmilk & Thissongissick. Their original singles entitled "18th Century Gangster / Glitch & Blues" finished at #2 and #5 on the Beatport Top 100 Glitch-Hop Charts, not a surprise the album recorded sales in the top 20 at Additech.com under 2011's Top Grossing Albums. Their body of work has sparked industry wide interest, with support coming from EDM demigod, Gareth Emery. Their first single of the year, "Good & Gone", was listed as the #1 selling single for Addictech.com for 2012. With official remixes for for Adrian Lux (Ultra), Gareth Emery (Garuda), and Rebecca & Fiona (Universal), the future is looking quite bright for K THEORY.
Seemingly incapable of exhaustion or sleep, the duo's endless studio hours have resulted in several tours across the United States, with a majority of their appearances throughout one of California's top bass capitals, San Francisco. The city has many times witnessed the performance presence of these two musical mighty men, often featured alongside industry giants such as Avicii, Nero, Dada Life, & Feed Me. Most recently, K THEORY performed at Insomniac's first bay area installment of "Beyond Wonderland". With upcoming shows at legendary San Francisco venue, The Warfield, and a multi-state tour this fall with a stop at Avalon for Control in Hollywood, you could say 2012 has faired well upon this bay area duo. Acclaimed, respected, and supported by the collective music community their momentum is unshakeable, they are impossible to ignore.

Theyskens' Theory Fall 2013
After a quick scan of the New York runways, predictions for what's to be slotted into our wardrobes where fall is concerned are relatively dark in a slick, sensual, leathery sense; the perfect environment for a Theyskens' Theory collection to thrive in . . . or so you'd think. But leave it to Olivier Theyskens, a designer who's always sung to his own tune, to invert that expected gritty perspective to some extent this season.
Up to now the brand has adopted a sharp, hardened aesthetic: Young downtown urbanites shroud themselves in it, and the rest of the world nods admiringly. But having established this archetype already, it seems the designer is looking far and beyond that for fall. Signature tailored jackets with drooping shoulders and loose, louche pants that twist and fall to the floor with an inch too much material were still in evidence, but filtered through a vision of the future the designer describes as "realistic, not utopian." Forget associations with classic sixties sci-fi films like Alphaville; that kitsch, angular plasticism (endearing as it is) has been played out too many times, and living in our Internet-centric forward-moving time, Generation Xers know better than to presume the world will ever look like that (and who wants to appear out of touch on the street-style carpet?). Instead, Theyskens presented his neo-futuristic ideal with cocooning dresses, tailored double-layer leather shorts, and roomy blazers, often in a subtly shimmering montage of hues. As Theyskens described them, "wearable pieces with strong energy and character—the stuff in our wardrobe we will probably keep forever."
Voluminous calf-length wool coats with menswear-inspired pants gave a slight nod to the eighties—more Blade Runner than Barbarella—while quilted wide-leg trousers with a sci-fi sheen looked particularly attractive to editors who'd just found shelter from the Manhattan rain. The quilting theme continued throughout—peeking out from under shorts and miniskirts and cut into egg-shape dresses worthy of an otherworldly heroine once she'd been brought down to Earth. "I want her to be confident," the designer said of his woman, "but also comfortable; she shouldn't be restricted in her clothes." Planet Theyskens sounds like an inviting place to visit this fall.

Saints Coaches & Teammates Think Mark Ingram Looks Confident, Comfortable
New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram isn't letting a humbling start to his pro career undermine his opinion of what he can still accomplish in the NFL.
With 1,605 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns in his first three pro seasons, Alabama's first Heisman Trophy winner is now a widely perceived under-achiever in the NFL.
Still, Ingram has said this week that he aims to be one of the best running backs in NFL history, adding that experience has made him more comfortable with what it takes to succeed as an NFL running back. Coaches and teammates agree, saying Ingram looks as confident and comfortable as ever.
Ingram has averaged 7.8 yards per carry in the preseason, and has scored touchdowns running and receiving.

Doggie Dash Wants to set a Record
Do you dress up your dog? Then the Doggie Dash is for you. The Oregon Humane Society hopes to set a Guinness World Record next month for most costumed canines convened in one place. Below is a press release from the Oregon Humane Society, with details on the goal and the event.
The Oregon Humane Society, known for helping thousands of pets find homes each year, is aiming to set a different kind of record at the 27th annual OHS Doggie Dash in downtown Portland.
The record to beat: the most costumed canines ever gathered in one place. Dog lovers everywhere are encouraged to come to Waterfront Park on May 10 to help OHS break the current Guinness World Record of 1,326 costumed dogs. The record was set two years ago in St. Louis.
"If just half of the dogs who come to the Dash every year show up in costume, we'll easily beat the Guinness record and have a great time doing it," said Sharon Harmon, OHS executive director. "I can't wait to see well over 1,000 costumed dogs in one place and all for a great cause!"
Doggie Dash is the largest fundraising event for pets on the West Coast, with a dog-friendly route down car-free Naito Parkway and along Waterfront Park. The event features canine contests, a pancake breakfast, live music and more.
Discover Your Dog's Inner Superhero: To go along with "Walk. Run. Be a Hero!" theme of this year's Dash, dog lovers are encouraged to dress their canine companions in superhero garb. The OHS website also features tips for creating a Fido-friendly costume and an online quiz to help pet owners discover their pet's inner superhero. Take the quiz here. Downloadable costume patterns are available on the OHS website.
Last's year Doggie Dash saw an estimated 3,500 dogs in attendance. OHS is expecting more dogs this year and hopes to raise a record $500,000. Registration for Doggie Dash is $30 in advance, $35 at the door, with 100% of the proceeds going to help pets OHS. To register for the Dash and learn more about the world record attempt, visit www.oregonhumane.org/doggiedash.
What: Help beat the Guinness World Record for most costumed dogs and raise funds for pets in need.
When: Saturday, May 10, 2014. Day-of registration opens at 7:30 am; walk/run starts at 9 am; world-record count begins at finish line.
Where: Portland's Waterfront Park, SW Stark and Naito Parkway.
Take the Quiz: Discover your dog's superhero alter-ego, visit: http://www.oregonhumane.org/doggiedash/be_a_hero.asp

Song stuck in your head? Blast that 'earworm' with brain power
Years ago, I heard that if you had an annoying song stuck in your head, the best way to get rid of it was to sing the entire theme song to Gilligan's Island to yourself. There was something about the length of the song that was just right to push the offending song out of your head. Unfortunately, it sometimes backfired and Gilligan just took the other song's place.
Well, now, according to researchers, if you have a song stuck in your head, the best way to get rid of that 'earworm' might be to get your brain working on something else entirely — such as a mental puzzle or reading a good book. However, don't go for anything too hard, though, because that might actually make it worse.

"The key is to find something that will give the right level of challenge," said Dr. Ira Hyman, a professor of psychology at Western Washington University who studies memory of song lyrics. "Something we can do automatically like driving or walking means you are not using all of your cognitive resource, so there is plenty of space left for that internal jukebox to start playing."
"Likewise, if you are trying something too hard, then your brain will not be engaged successfully, so that music can come back. You need to find that bit in the middle where there is not much space left in the brain," he added. "It is like a Goldilocks effect — it can't be too easy and it can't be too hard, it has got to be just right."

Hyman and his colleagues had volunteers sit down and work through brain puzzles while they played music for them — The Beatles, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé to be specific. They found that solving simple mazes didn't have much effect, but moderately-tough Sudoku puzzles and five-letter anagrams were very effective at keeping these catchy tunes from getting stuck in the volunteers' heads.
"Music is relatively harmless but easy to start," said Hyman. "Choruses tend to get stuck in your head because they are the bit we know best and because we don't know the second or third verse, the song remains unfinished. Unfinished thoughts are more likely to return."
Whose songs were most likely to get stuck in people's heads? When it comes to modern artists at least, that title goes to Lady Gaga.

Among people there is one who argues about Allah without knowledge, and follows every rebellious satan. (Surat al-Hajj, 3)
Hypocrites are very rebellious and untrustworthy. They are two-faced by nature. Someone with a good knowledge of the Qur'an and of its profound details will not be a target for satan or the hypocrite.

adhocracy 2.1.3
Policy drafting and decision-making web platform
Latest Version: 2.5.3
Adhocracy is a web based software tool which facilitates cooperative policy drafting, proposal discussion and decisions in distributed groups.
It is primarily developed by the Liquid Democracy e.V. as a platform to implement Liquid Democracy concepts, as well as to provide a simple and working general purpose online participation platform.
Adhocracy is mostly written in Python 2. It's built on top of many free software projects, such as the Pylons web framework, the Solr search platform, Memcached, Redis, many Python libraries and more.
Adhocracy is known to run on current Linux systems, such as Debian Squeeze. It might run on FreeBSD or OS X, but this hasn't been tested recently.
Installation is usually done through buildout or through an installer script for Debian based systems. In either case, read INSTALLATION.rst.
Adhocracy is openly developed as free software and distributed for the common good under the AGPLv3 license.
Source code hosting, bug tracking and planned feature discussion is done on GitHub.
Communication also takes place on the adhocracy-dev mailing list.
Documentation is included in the source code and can be read online on readthedocs.
We're very open for contributions, please drop us a note on the mailing list or create a pull request on GitHub.
Community support is available through the adhocracy-dev mailing list.
Commercial support (installation, hosting, customization, training) is offered by the Liquid Democracy e.V. - you can reach us at info(at)liqd(dot)de.
Adhocracy installation
Adhocracy makes heavy use of buildout, a Python build tool. It downloads, configures and builds nearly all dependencies to create a repeatable and isolated environment. In addition it sets up the supervisord service manager, which allows to easily start and stop the services which Adhocracy needs to run:
- adhocracy (http server that runs Adhocracy with Spawning/WSGI)
- adhocracy_worker (background queue processing)
- solr (searching)
- memcached (key-value cache)
- redis (internal messaging queue)
Adhocracy is known to work on all modern Linux distributions, but should also run on OS X and FreeBSD with minor modifications.
There are two supported ways of installing Adhocracy:
- A fully automatic installation, which downloads and sets up everything, is available for Debian, Ubuntu and Arch Linux. This is basically a wrapper around buildout.
- The manual installation, which directly uses the buildout commands.
Both are described in the following.
Automatic installation on debian, Ubuntu or Arch Linux with build.sh
On debian, Ubuntu, or Arch you can simply execute the following in a terminal:
wget -nv https://raw.github.com/liqd/adhocracy/develop/build.sh -O build.sh && sh build.sh
The script will use sudo to install the required dependencies, and install, set up, and start the required services.
Add -c hhu to install with the preconfiguration for HHU Düsseldorf.
Manual installation
## Preparations
Install required system packages (Debian Squeeze example):
$ sudo apt-get install gcc make build-essential bin86 unzip libpcre3-dev mercurial git libssl-dev libbz2-dev pkg-config $ sudo apt-get install python python-setuptools $ sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev postgresql-server-dev-9.1 $ sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre $ sudo apt-get install ruby rubygems
To make the apache vhost config work run:
$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-html $ sudo a2enmod proxy proxy_http proxy_html
Check out Adhocracy:
$ git clone https://github.com/liqd/adhocracy $ cd adhocracy $ git submodule init $ git submodule update
## Setup an isolated python environment to run Adhocracy
To install Adhocracy you need python (2.6|2.7) with PIL (python imaging) but no other system-packages.
Compile python and PIL with the included python buildout:
$ cd python $ python bootstrap.py $ bin/buildout $ cd ..
## Install and start Adhocracy
Run buildout:
$ bin/python bootstrap.py $ bin/buildout
Start Adhocracy and dependent servers:
$ bin/supervisord
If you do not use the buildout to compile and start the database system (currently only possible for PostgreSQL, but disabled by default), you have to setup the Adhocracy database manually:
$ bin/paster setup-app etc/adhocracy.ini --name=content
Run Adhocracy
Start Adhocracy and all dependent servers:
$ bin/supervisord
Restart servers:
$ bin/supervisorctl reload
View the status of all servers:
$ bin/supervisorctl status
To start/stop one server:
$ bin/supervisorctl stop <name>
Start the Adhocracy server in foreground mode:
$ bin/supervisorctl stop adhocracy $ bin/paster serve etc/adhocracy.ini
Buildout configuration
Read buildout_commmon.cfg and buildout_development.cfg to learn all buildout configuration options.
Customize buildout.cfg to change the domains, ports and server versions.
Instead of compiling all dependencies (postgres, solr,..) you can also use system packages.
Use your custom buildout file to remove the included files you do not need:
[buildout] extends = buildout_development.cfg parts -= postgresql
Developer instructions
To use your own fork instead of the regular("upstream") adhocracy, use `git remote <http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-remote.html>`_:
$ git remote -v origin https://github.com/liqd/adhocracy (fetch) origin https://github.com/liqd/adhocracy (push) $ git remote add USERNAME https://github.com/USERNAME/adhocracy $ git push USERNAME
You can now execute git pull origin to update your local copy with new upstream changes. Use `commit <http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-commit.html>`_ and `push <http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-push.html>`_ to record and publish your changes. As soon as you are confident that you have implemented a feature or corrected a bug, create a pull request to ask the core developers to incorporate your changes.

2.1.1 (2014-02-04)
This is a patch release which actually allows upgrading to 2.1.x with the instructions given below in the 2.1.0 sections. When upgrading from 2.0.0 to 2.1.x, simply jump to 2.1.1 directly by doing git checkout 2.1.1.
- Make sure the src/adhocracy/alembic/versions directory actually exists in order to make bin/paster setup-app … work.
- Update some dependencies.
- Fix search box placeholder for instances with quotes in title. (#740)
2.1.0 (2014-02-04)
This upgrade only splits the SQLAlchemy-related changes from the 2.0.0 release in order to make sure all migrations are executed and the database remains in a consistent state.
- Update SQLAlchemy from 0.7.10 to 0.9.1.
- Switch from sqlalchemy-migrate to Alembic. (#219)
Upgrade instructions:
If you haven't upgraded for a long time (say six months or more), it's best to delete parts, eggs, python/python-2.7 and python/parts directories and rebuild everything according to INSTALLATION.rst.
In any case, don't upgrade to 2.1.0 in one go, but upgrade to 2.0.0 first by running:
git checkout 2.0.0 bin/buildout bin/paster setup-app etc/adhocracy.ini --name=content
And upgrade to 2.1.0 in a second step:
git checkout 2.1.0 bin/buildout bin/paster setup-app etc/adhocracy.ini --name=content
This makes sure the remaining sqlalchemy-migration based migrations are executed in the first step, and the Alembic environment is initialized properly in the second step.
2.0.0 (2014-02-03)
Start doing releases using semantic versioning (#77). This release's changelog contains many changes from the past two years, but rather incomplete.
Allow to list norms in a tiled fashion. (#714)
Add container pages. These special norms act as containers of other norms. (#709)
Proposal descriptions can now be shown directly in proposal lists. (#733)
It is now possible to translate the English source strings through Transifex as it is done in all other languages. In Transifex, the en_GB language is used as the "translated" English langauage in contrast to the "source" English langauage and doesn't imply that british English shall be used. (#102)
Automatically crop and center uploaded images (logos etc) to the desired size. (#711)
Badges can now be managed in context. (#713)
Add images and long description texts to categories. Categories can now be listed and individually displayed, each showing all assigned proposals. (#695)
Added user import script. (#649)
We redesigned the instance settings. The most notable change is the added possibility to select presets on instance creation. (#680)
The user import and massmessage services have been moved. They can be found on the members index and instance overview, respectively.
It is now possible to follow instances. (#655)
All milestones now must have a date. (#658)
Added installation option to freeze the complete installation. (#289)
It is possible to select whether other users can edit a proposal. We added an instance option to set the default value of that option. (#632)
a11y improvements.
Added replay notification script, which recreates notifications inside the database which would have been created before notifications were stored in the database. (#624)
We completely redesigned the user profile (#430) and dashboard (#429): User can upload an avatar now (#641) and view notifications online.
Email texts are now wrapped at 78 characters per line. Long links are preserved. (#593)
Added travis configuration which automatically builds Adhocracy using build.sh and runs the test suite.
It is now possible to assign user badges in user import. It is also possible to define additional variables which can be used in the welcome email.
Added an installation option to redirect to an instance instead of showing the front page. This is useful for single-instance installations. (#431)
New comment design.
Subnorms can now be displayed as sections. This way you can add a large document consisting of multiple sections and have each of these sections discussed separately.
It is now possible to show all open proposals in the proposal list of future milestones. For milestones in the past, this doesn't have any effect. (#562)
This will be used in the following scenario:
- There's regular (offline) board meetings. These are entered as milestones. During a meeting, the board shall work on as many of the highest rated, non-frozen proposals as time permits.
- All covered proposals will be assigned to the respective milestone, marked as frozen and badged as "implemented" (or whatever).
- All not covered proposals will be covered in successive meetings.
It is now possible to freeze single proposals. (#559)
Overlays have their own urls now, so you can link to them. (#553)
Add warning to users of unsupported browsers. (#111)
Better user settings layout. (#174)
Allow footer customization through static URLs. (#472)
Add custom "show more" markdown extension. (#120)
build.sh now has Fedora support
Refactor all CSS and some of the templates to make development and theming easier. We also switched to SCSS.
Added varnish reverse proxy [joka]
Readd bin/test to run tests (wrapper for py.test) [joka]
Update python from 2.7.4 to 2.7.5. Please rebuild python:
- cd python
- bin/buildout
Use pytest testrunner instead of nose. (#343)
Add shibboleth based authentication. (#359)
Allow to disable tutorials installation-wide. (#54)
Update buildout from 1.7 to 2.1.0 (#241). Rerun buildout with:
bin/buildout -n
If you have versions conflicts with distribute delete the old one:
rm -r eggs/distribute..".
The default way to isolate your python environment is now to compile python and PIL now instead of using virtualenv:
Upgrade manual installation: ---------------------------- Checkout python buildout * git submodule init * git submodule update Compile python: * cd python * python boostrap.py && bin/buildout Reinstall Adhocracy: * cd ../ * rm -rf eggs/* * bin/python bootstrap.py * bin/buildout Upgrade build.sh: ----------------- * rm -rf eggs/* * sh build.sh -u * sh build.sh -s [joka]
Add controversy sorting method to proposals. (#258)
Allow to hide voting lists from the UI. (#189)
Badges with thumbnails. (#191)
Option to disable registration. (#43)
Login via email address
Hierarchical categories. (#95)
Formatted norms. (#192)
Replace RabbitMQ/amqp with redis/rq (#220). This means that you have to provide a working redis instance if you want to use asyncronous jobs (highly recommended in production). The background process that processes the jobs is renamed from 'background' to 'worker'. You can call it with bin/paster –plugin=adhocracy worker -c etc/adhocracy.ini
Configuration changes:
- dropped: adhocracy.amqp.* settings are not required anymore.
- new: adhocracy.redis.host: An IP address redis can bind to (not a hostname!)
- new: adhocracy.redis.port: The port redis will open
- new: adhocracy.redis.queue: The queue name
Mandatory email validation. (#142)
Invisible badges. (#116)
Instance-based user rating sorting. (#190)
Disallow multiple usernames with only case differences. (#171)
Dashboard style instance overview page. (#90)
Support path based instances instead of subdomain only. (#62)
Feedback instance pull in form. (#88)
Lamson mailserver dummy for development purposes.
Added facet search to the instance listing. The listing is based on solr now, please reindex. [joka]
Instances can have badges now. To create instance badges use the site-administration -> badges form. To assign badges use the instance listing. [joka]
New config option "adhocracy.registration.email.blacklist" that accepts a whitespace seperated list of email address and blocks registrations with those. Dots will be stripped before the test (to catch gmail addresses where dots are ignored by gmail). [csenger]
New config option "adhocracy.listings.instance.sorting" that makes the sort options for the instance listing configurable. This possible values are: OLDEST, NEWEST, ACTIVITY and ALPHA. [csenger]
Permission change: When we test the 'norm.create' permission (permission to create Norms/Topics/Themen we do no longer restrict it to users who also have 'instance.admin'. The main permission we check now is 'page.create'.
Please check the permission 'page.create' in your permission settings (<base_url>/admin -> Permissions). [csenger]
Give the users the option to permanently activate the twitter, facebook or google+ buttons. Save the setting in a wildcard subdomain cookie so it is valid across all instances.
This requires a updated js.socialshareprivacy to work with our auth cookie. [csenger]
Add the possibility to overwrite templates in <adhocracy.site>/templates directory (like it's possible for static resources and static pages already. New templates there need a server restart to be picked up. [csenger]
Deliver (almost) all resources with fanstatic. [csenger]
Delegateables can have category badges. [joka]
Instances can have badges, they are only valid inside that instance. [joka]
Added option to set the smtp port. [joka]
Many bugfixes.
Many other unmentioned improvements.
- Tooltips use jquery tools now. [joka]
- Open helper link, login and register form with overlay. [joka]
- Recaptcha support (disabled by default). [joka]
- Proposals can have badgets #263. [joka]

text: What will decide the winner of Sunday's Super Bowl? Will it be the strong arm of Broncos quarterback Payton Manning, or will it be the relentless running of Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch. According to a new survey, fully one fifth of Americans think it will be neither. 20 percent of Americans think Almighty God will decide the outcome. A study by the Public Religion Research Institute says nearly half of all Americans think that an 'outside spiritual force' plays a role of the outcome of sporting events, and 20% think that force is none other than God. 26% say they have prayed to God to help their team. Dr. John White, who is the director of the sports ministry program at the Truett Seminary at Baylor University calls this 'Christian egoism,' and tell 1200 WOAI news that this flies in the face of everything the Bible and the teachings of Jesus tell us about the role of God in our world. "I was troubled, because I think it discloses some problems," he said. "I think it indicates something about Christian beliefs." From the Middle Ages when God was believed to decide the outcome of battles to sports fans asking God to help their sports team win, Dr. White says humans have always misinterpreted God to be an 'almighty performance enhancer.' "This estranges me from you, in this case, I want to win and I want you to lose, essentially goes against everything taught in the Christian faith," Dr. White said. "Prayer is about bringing people together, not dividing them." He says when people pray to God for a sports victory, the winner of the game comes down not to planning, preparation, or the skill of the players, but which team received God's favor, and which did not." White says it is very un-Christian to pray for an opponents' defeat. "Traditionally, the practice of prayer is supposed to point beyond individualism," he said. "When we pray, we want to come together, we want unity." But White concedes that every Super Bowl season, this issue gets a lot of 'hearty discussions' among seminary students.

Phiten's signature bracelet. The Titanium Bracelet - 2nd Gen. The strands of the soft outer fabric are coated with Aqua-Titanium™. The flexible core retains its Micro-Titanium Sphere and elastomer compound while providing the athletes with a relaxed fit to help stabilize your energy flow through your hand, wrist and arm. Traditionally, titanium is a lightweight and insoluble metal used in medical devices due to its non-corrosive and hypoallergenic properties. These properties make titanium an ideal medium for Phiten's technology. However, titanium in its solid state is not suitable for high-intensity, exercise-specific applications, which led Phiten to develop Aqua-Titanium. In this application, minute particles of titanium suspended in water act as carriers for Phiten's technology. Aqua-Titanium is then utilized as a dye and embedded into fabric, spreading the effect of Phiten technology to the users. Aqua-Titanium is widely incorporated in their fabric necklaces and apparel, permeating each strand of fiber and becoming a permanent component of the finished product. All their products reflect Phiten's uncompromising search for health. Their aim is to provide health-promoting technologies and products. They will never offer an item that might have an ill effect on your health, no matter how convenient and useful it may be. That's their philosophy. After examining the meaning of health in this day and age, they directed their attention to the body's natural healing power. Part of the body's natural responses, it is often weakened by the fatigue and stress accumulated with the hectic pace of modern life. Your body's energy system influences all of your body's responses. Phiten products regulate and balance that flow of energy throughout your body. Proper energy balance helps to alleviate discomfort, speed recovery, and counteract fatigue by restoring the body's natural healing powers. Through dedicated research, we have developed a number of unique wellness technologies and products. Accordingly, we've won the trust of many consumers and increasing numbers of athletes use our products. We are building on this trust to offer new products, adapting and applying our technologies to a wider range of uses to support your health and well-being. Phiten continues to take on new challenges in serving people around the world by creating more products that answer the desire to enhance and maintain health. Origin of our Name: PhiTen Based on the Greek letter PHI F and the exponent 10, we crafted a name which symbolizes our goal: maximizing the perfect balance found in the natural world. Their Company Headquartered in Torrance, California, PHITEN USA, Inc. is the exclusive distributor for Phiten products in the United States, and the North American headquarters of PHITEN Co., Ltd. Japan. We have Phiten Shops in Seattle, Torrance and Honolulu. Retailers across the nation - particularly sporting goods. Find a store near you. Beware of Counterfeit Phiten Products. If your online retailer does not display this "Phiten Authorized Dealer" seal on their website, you may be in danger of purchasing a counterfeit Phiten product. As Phi-Ten continues to gain recognition and popularity for its unique Aqua Titanium technology, an alarming number of online retailers have been caught selling counterfeit Phiten equipment. These products may look very similar to genuine Phiten products, but have not gone through their official "PHILD PROCESS". Please make sure to purchase only from Phiten Authorized Dealers. Genuine Phiten products are specially crafted to improve your body's energy flow. Do not waste your money on counterfeit goods that will not provide any energizing benefits. Verify the Authenticity of any online Phiten Reseller: Step 1: Look for the Phiten Authorized Dealer Seal. Make sure that there are no distortions in the image Step 2:Verify the Authorized Dealer Number and Store name. Match the Dealer Number and Store name with the AUTHORIZED DEALER LIST.

Snowden in 'Safe House'
(NEWSER) – As of Monday, NSA leaker Edward Snowden had all but disappeared, having checked out of the $330-a-night Mira Hotel in Hong Kong. The Guardian reports what seems to be the most definitive update on his whereabouts, and it's pretty vague: "It is thought he is now in a safe house," writes Ewen MacAskill. No word on where that "safe house" is located, but Bloomberg picks up a report from a Hong Kong paper whose sources say the immigration department has no record of him leaving the city.

Mostarda is derived from a very old country Christmas recipe. 17th century rural families prepared a special flour, mustard, vinegar, candied fruit and wine must dressing (wine must is how the recipe adopted the name mostarda). Lazzaris Fruit Mostarda is produced using a variety of whole fruits. Dipped in sugar and glucose syrup and pure mustard oil, its characteristic taste allows it to be enjoyed on its own; as an excellent dessert; as well as being a first-class accompaniment to a number of dishes.
Although mostarda was only originally conceived to enrich meals during the Christmas holidays, it has been put on the table for decades now, throughout the whole year, combined with traditional recipes and accompanying new dishes.
