I'm having trouble with exercise 132, sentence 9, specifically:
οὐκ ἄξιον ἦν τῷ ὁπλίτῃ παίειν τὸν Περσικὸν τοξότην.
White's book was not the first Greek textbook I began studying, so admittedly my thinking may be influenced by outside sources here, but I am unsure of who hit whom. In infinitive construction, when the subject of the main clause is not the same as the subject of the subordinate clause, then the latter is placed into the accusative. Or is this a dative of agent with the direct object in the accusative as it normally is? (And does word order have anything to do with it - I know it does in English but in Greek I've seen sentences with the subject placed last so I'm unsure on that.)
Did the Persian archer strike the hoplite or vice versa?

Over 900-million online games exist, and many of these game designers allow for the development of grave stone monuments and memorials. In the massively multiplayer online (MMO) game, World of Warcraft (WoW), the deaths of players have been memorialized since the game's release in 2004. The way the gaming world handles real life death allows us a look into how society may respond to death, on the internet, in the future.
|Michel Koiter
|Shrine of the Fallen Warrior
|Spirit Healer
In honor of Michel Koiter and his WoW persona, his twin brother, Rene Koiter, wrote the following poem:
Shrine of the Fallen Warrior in World of WarCraft
Where now part of his essence resides a mystical boon will be given
Upon the monument the runic initials MK have been engraved
To honor all the journeys and battles the fallen one has braved
A hero's enduring spirit transcends many worlds beyond our own
Only those with steadfast dedication find a bond with this unknown
Travel the continents and scour the lands for the shrine standing tall
For in the presence of the monolith the warrior will be with you all

On October 20, 2008, Ezra died. The gaming community reacted by organizing an online gaming event to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in Ezra's honor. Over 1,000 players responded. The server crashed and the event was cancelled, but Ezra's spirit will live on in the game.

The Iceland-based game developer, CCP (Crowd Control Productions) created EVE Online as a player-driven massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). (EVE Online has over 500,000 subscribers.)
|Sean Smith & His Avatar Vile Rat
Smith was in contact with EVE players just before the raid, sending a message, which said, "Assuming we don't die tonight. We saw one of our 'police' that guard the compound taking pictures." Smith was remembered in a tribute on the EVE online community as "one of the best and most effective diplomats this game has ever seen."
An actual memorial for Sean was discussed but gamers decided that the player-made tributes and remembrances were more in keeping with the spirit of the game. The EVE Online community held a fiery tribute for Sean on September 15th.
In the end, it doesn't matter if the memorial is in a game or in a cemetery. What does matter is being able to pay tribute to someone special. In this life and the gaming life, it's about finding a way to honor those we feel have left the game too soon.

Charlotte-based Speed channel will roll away this summer and Regis will take the stage.
Fox Networks announced Tuesday that Speed, the all-motorsports network dating to 1995, will be replaced on the cable dial by a new venture, Fox Sports 1, which will take it into competition with ESPN's stable of sports channels.
NASCAR and other motorsports will continue to be carried on the channel, but the network will broaden content to other sports and add a 5 p.m. weekday panel show, "Rush Hour," originating from New York and hosted by Regis Philbin.
Fox Sports Media Group executives said the new network will debut Aug. 17. Among other sports heading to the channel are collegiate basketball and football, and pro boxing and soccer.
In 2014, Major League Baseball will be added, including regular season games over 26 Saturdays and select league championship and division playoffs.
Speed in Charlotte
Speed channel moved to Charlotte from Connecticut in 2002 to take advantage of the proximity to NASCAR's hub. In 2008, it built a production facility at Harris Boulevard and I-85 with $967,011 in incentives from the city of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County.
About 125 full-time workers are employed there, not counting a substantial seasonal workforce. Its building contains about 78,000 square feet of space, and is only two-thirds built out.
Charlotte will continue to be the base for motorsports coverage, said Speed spokesman Erik Arneson. Minimal jobs losses can be expected through redundancies, however, and some changes in jobs are likely, he said.
Eric Shanks, co-president of Fox Sports Media Group, said Charlotte will continue to be the center for motorsports coverage and will probably pick up additional production duties from the New York and West Coast hubs.
"Basically it is connected to L.A., so it really is an offshoot of the L.A. office. We can offload graphics production work, editing work to Charlotte, and then as we launch new shows, Charlotte is a viable place to actually produce new shows from."
Already, the main studio at Speed is undergoing renovations for the Fox Sports 1 change and design bids are being sought for a new master set.
Fox takes on ESPN
Arneson said the popular Barrett-Jackson car auctions will continue on the new network, but other Speed lifestyle shows –including reality series "Car Warriors" and "Hard Parts: South Bronx" – will probably not have a future on Fox Sports 1.
By rebranding Speed, Fox has instant entry into nearly 90 million homes – well over two-thirds of households – served by cable or satellite, but still faces a formidable challenge against ESPN's dominance.
"As a company we haven't been afraid to innovate and take well-calculated risks," co-president Randy Freer said. "We've devoted significant resources over the last few years to acquire and/or extend multi-platform rights with a wide variety of leagues and governing bodies well into the next decade, enough to give us a rich schedule right out of the box."
Fox has long-term contracts in place with NASCAR, the NFL and Major League Baseball, providing a foundation for the new enterprise.
'Double-box' commercials
A new show, "Fox Football Daily," will begin in August with Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Jay Glazer, Gus Johnson, Erin Andrews and Mike Pereira. It will focus on both pro and collegiate football.
Fox Sports 1 will also carry a SportsCenter-like wrap-up at 11 p.m. daily and will add a morning version in January, executives said.
College basketball games will air Monday and Thursday nights this fall with weekend coverage of the Big 12, Pac-12 and Conference USA. College football will include the Big Ten Championship Game and Pac-12 Championship Game in 2014.
Fox executives said the new network will make use of the "double box" commercial format, which keeps viewers in touch with the game or race while airing a commercial on the side.
Charlotte is a major national hub for sports media. In addition to the Fox facility, it is home to NASCAR digital and other motorsports ventures, The Sporting News, SportsBusiness Daily, ESPNU and Raycom sports.

Law-enforcement officers face a tough job that's further complicated when dealing with college students who might not fully appreciate the consequences of their actions.
Law-enforcement officers face a tough job that's further complicated when dealing with college students who might not fully appreciate the consequences of their actions.
In announcing his decision one week ago to drop criminal charges against University of Florida football player Antonio Morrison, 8th Judicial Circuit State Attorney Bill Cervone acknowledged those pressures but rightly said they "cannot be allowed to override common sense and the law, as they may have in this situation."
Morrison's arrest July 21 for barking at a police dog became a national joke. The actions of local officials in response to the incident helped prevent Gainesville from remaining a punch line.
Cervone quickly questioned the legality of the arrest and acted to rectify the situation. Likewise, Alachua County Sheriff Sadie Darnell deserves appreciation for acknowledging that a warning would have sufficed in the incident.
Head football coach Will Muschamp deserves credit for sticking with a two-game suspension for Morrison. While he committed no crime, Morrison was guilty of bad judgment for being out at 2:30 a.m. so soon after his arrest last month in connection with the punching of a bouncer in Gainesville.
The deputy who arrested Morrison might have overreacted because of the scene outside All Star Sports Bar in Gainesville, which stays open until 4 a.m. and has been the site of problems. Whatever the deputy's motivations, students lose respect for the law when officers abuse their power.
While showing discretion is important, it's not always a clear-cut issue. UF officers showed too much discretion last month when they failed to arrest the deputy chief's son and charge him with DUI.
But law-enforcement officers should exercise restraint when appropriate. As Cervone said, "The power to do something as profound as depriving another person of liberty and subjecting him to all of the consequences of an arrest or prosecution cannot be abused, even when one's patience is thin."

These Slots Tournaments Terms and Conditions are specific for the Slots Tournaments available on SlotsMillion.com. They are in addition to the General Terms and Conditions of the casino.
The Slots Tournaments are a service offered by SlotsMillion to their registered players, allowing you to compete against other players in slot matches in order to win prizes.
Most of the time, Slots Tournaments are available to all players, from any country and using any currency.
We do however organise private tournaments on special occasions for restricted groups of players.
In these cases, matches aren't visible to non-eligible players, meaning that if you can see a match on the website, you will be able to participate from your country and currency. The Slots Tournaments are available in Desktop only at the moment.
The schedule of the matches can be consulted on the Slots Tournaments page. Matches starting in the coming hours also appear on the homepage.
Once registered for a match, you will be able to follow the status of the match from the menu, and will receive a notification at match start and end.
To register for a match (or 'buy-in'), you have to pay the entry fee, which can only be purchased with real money and only when the registration is open - a few minutes before the match starts. This entry fee is considered similar to placing a bet and counts toward any Bet/Loss Responsible Gaming Limit you might have active on your account.
In the event that you do not have enough funds available in your real money balance or that the buy-in would exceed any applying Responsible Gaming Limit, the buy-in won't be authorised.
You can cancel your registration to a match as long as the registration period is still open. When cancelling a buy-in, the entry fee will be refunded to your balance and will no longer be counted toward your Responsible Gaming Limits.
Once the match starts, you will be communicated a link to the match page via the menu and a notification.
In the match page, you will see your coin balance, equally set for all participants to the amount defined in the match rules, which will correspond to your betable virtual funds available during the match. You will also have a score, initially set to zero for all participants, which will determine your position in the match ranking.
For every spin you place, your match balance will be reduced by the corresponding amount.
For every win you reach, your score will be increased by the corresponding amount.
At the end of the match, the prize pool will be distributed between players with the highest score, according to the match prize distribution rule.
Please note that your match balance will NOT be increased by your winnings. All participants will bet the same amount within a match regardless of their potential winnings. Only the odds and each player's betting strategy will determine the highest score they can reach.
There is no minimum or maximum bet amount you can place in a match other than the game's bet limit itself, and no minimum or maximum number of spins.
(Eg: with an initial balance of 100 coins, you can choose to place 1 bet of 100€ if the slot allows it, or you can choose to place 100 bets of 1€. Or of course vary your bet amounts during the match).
You are free to manage your balance as you see fit. If you do not use your entire match balance, any remaining funds will be lost and discarded.
We recommend that you remain aware of the match time limit and adjust your bet amount in order to be sure that you have used all your available funds before the end of the match.
SlotsMillion cannot be held responsible for any technical issue on the client's end that would prevent them from joining the match and spending their match funds.
(In particular, we advise our players not to register for a match if they are unsure of their internet connection stability, device battery, their availability time or any other element that could interrupt their participation in the match).
The money in a match is virtual and as such, bets and wins within a match do not count toward any Responsible Gaming Limit.
When entering the first match you will be asked to choose a public nickname. This nickname must respect the following conditions:
- It must not be misleading (eg: 'Admin') or give the incorrect impression that the account may be affiliated with SlotsMillion (eg: 'SM Agent')
- You are not allowed to use names that are disruptive, critical or offensive towards SlotsMillion company and products or any race, religion or social groups
- Promotional names (nicknames that unambiguously advertise or represent the name of a company, group, institution or product) might be permitted upon request to our Customer Support team (eg: we allow affiliates to play in their company name)
Note that our Customer Support reserves the right to delete a nickname considered as breaching the current nickname policy, in which case this player will appear as Anonymous until he chooses an appropriate nickname.
As the Slots Tournaments is a multiplayer feature and is advertised on our website, some information on match participants will be public. By registering for a match, you agree to see the following information shared and displayed to other players and visitors:
- Your nickname (different from your login username, it is your 'public name')
- Your match balance
- Your match score
- Your match rank
- Your match betting statistics (eg: bet amounts, win amounts...)
In order to allow SEK/NOK players to bet with the virtual money amounts they are used to, we apply a 10x multiplier to their available balance. We then apply a 10x division to their score:
- A EUR player will play with a 20 EUR coin balance where a SEK player will play with 200 SEK coin balance
- A EUR player will gain 1 score point for each 1 EUR win where the SEK player will get 0.1 score for each 1 SEK win
Keep in mind that this money is virtual and has no value as such; the currency symbol is being used only to look familiar to players.
Each match has its specific conditions, which you can find by opening the match information page. By registering for a match, it is assumed you accept its conditions. In particular:
- The game: the game on which the match will take place
- The entry fee price: the real money amount that you will pay to buy-in. It contributes to the prize pool.
- The possible retries: some matches allow you to retry if you are unsatisfied with your first match participation. Buying a retry will erase your previous score and allow you to restart with a fresh coin balance.
- The retry fee price: the real money amount that you will pay to retry. It contributes to the prize pool.
- The price distribution mode: only one mode is currently available: TOP3 - the prize pool is distributed to the top 3 players.
- The minimum participants: this is the minimum number of participants required for the match to take place. In case the minimum is not assured, the match is cancelled and all entry fees are refunded.
- The maximum participants: the maximum number of participants in a match.
- The minimum prize: the guaranteed minimum prize that will be distributed.
- The match coins: the initial balance that will be granted to each participant within the match.
- The match registration duration: the time limit players will have to register for the match.
- The match duration: the time limit players will have to spend their match balance.
- The match starting time: the time at which the match will start.
Due to the nature of slots and the unpredictability of bonus round durations, winnings will be accepted up to 15 minutes after the match end - assuming the related bet has been triggered within the match time limits. After this 15 minute delay, the score will be closed and prizes will be distributed to the winners.
Match prizes will be distributed to winners as real money that will have to be claimed from the player's lobby. Upon claiming, the money will be immediately credited to the player's real money balance. Match prizes will be considered similar to game winnings from the Loss Responsible Gaming Limits perspective.
In the event of several winners having the same score, the prize associated with their occupied rank position will be added together and split equally. (Eg: in a TOP3 match with a 30€ reward for the 2nd position and 20€ for the third position. If two players are tied for the 2nd position, they will occupy 2nd and 3rd position and will both receive 25€ : (30+20)/2. In the event that they are tied in 3rd position, they will each receive 10€ (20 + 0)/2).
Players can see the history of their recent matches in their lobby, and have quick access to the match scoreboard located in the Slots Tournaments page.
From time to time, the casino team offers free tournament entry tickets to groups of players on special occasions. Such tickets allow you to register for a match for free, while still increasing the prize pool as though you had bought in with real money. Cancelling such registration will give you the ticket back. Please note that any retry purchase during these matches will be deducted from your real balance normally.
We reserve the right to exclude players from our tournament system, temporarily or indefinitely, in the event of fraud detection or abuse. In such cases, we might cancel any ongoing participation to a match.

Hi All,
Thanks in advance for any advice you can contribute. My company is planning for a web development project that'll we'll contract for. My question is, what is the best development approach to this project (i.e. what skills should I require that a developer have)?
Currently our web hosting environment and other web projects are LAMP-based. We'd like to stay open source for this project too but if MS development is the best approach, that's okay too if someone would just explain what kind of investment is required to put a MS solution in place, from a licensing perspective.
Interactive web portal to consolidate and display data from:
Inventory databases (e.g., Nagios, Solarwinds)
Help Desk ticketing database (Oracle)
Various other MS SQL and Oracle databases, including MS SCOM/SCCM
In addition to consolidating data for display on the site, we'll also create a dynamic interactive environment to process the Help Desk ticketing data for end user responses or escalation requests, equipment inventories and order processing to maintain a real time update for each business location's users to be able to do both view the status of the IT environment and act on notices, such as:
- React to Help Desk tickets and do things such as escalate the ticket (write back to the HD ticket DB) or press a button to tell an equipment ordering software to place an order.
- Click a button to escalate (communicate) a problem directly to an outside vendor for dispatch
- get forwarded to a tutorial site for instructions on basic system troubleshooting
- acknowledge an alert (write back to a Nagios / Solarwinds database)
Basically a web portal hub for all things IT equipment related, with database feeds for viewing statuses and interaction with those databases and external communications for action / reaction.
This site would need to scale up to a 1000 simultaneous users with 50,000+ IT devices being observed.
Thanks again!

UNODC Budget
The UNODC consolidated budget for the biennium 2014-2015 is US $760.1 million, including around US$ 88,9 million (11,7%) from the UN regular budget.
Donor contributions
Voluntary contributions to the activities of UNODC are provided by governments, consisting of major and emerging and national donors, UN Agencies, Multi-Donor Trust Funds, Inter-Governmental Organizations, International Financial Institutions (IFIs) and private donors, including private sector entities and foundations.
Voluntary donor contributions comprise two types:
- General-purpose funds (GP), i.e. unearmarked voluntary contributions which are used for i.a. provision of policy and strategic direction; support to technical norms and standards for Members States; research; and programme development, to name but a few areas.
- Special-purpose funds (SP), which are earmarked voluntary contributions to finance UNODC's technical cooperation and other substantive activities at Headquarters (Vienna) and in the field.
Pledges for voluntary contributions in 2014 amounted to $287.8 million. The largest donors (more than US$ 3 million) included Brazil, Colombia, Denmark, the European Union, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, UNAIDS, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America.
The distribution of the funding was as follows:
- Earmarked or special purpose funding - US$ 280.6 million (98 per cent)
- General purpose funding - US$ 7.2 million (2.5 per cent)
General-purpose funds amounted to US$ 7.2 million for 2014. Donations came almost exclusively provided by a small group of donors: Austria, Bangladesh, Chile, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong SAR of China, India, Japan, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Pakistan, Panama, Republic of Korea, Russia, Singapore, Sweden, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and the United States. Significant cost-sharing of the local support budget was provided by Brazil, Mexico and Panama.
In terms of type of activity, the funding distribution between drugs and crime programmes was as follows:
- Drugs Programme - US$ 160,6 million (56 per cent )
- Crime Fund - US$ 127,2 million (44 per cent)
UNODC has experienced a marked shift in the composition of its funding over the past few years. Since the creation of UNODC, the share of the major donor group in total funding has declined from 85 per cent to about 60 per cent in 2014. Newly emerging and national donors accounted for about 33 per cent of UNODC funding in 2014. Other non-traditional donors and partners, including United Nations entities and multi-donor trust funds, other intergovernmental institutions are gradually but steadily increasing their share in the overall funding of UNODC compared to previous years:
Distribution by donor's categories in 2014:
Major Donors (60%); Emerging and National Donors (33%); UN Agencies (3%); Multi-Donor Trust Funds (3%); International Financial Institutions (IFIs) & other Intergovernmental Organisations (IGOs) (1%) - see the top-20 donors list.
United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for Victims of Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children
General Assembly Resolution A/RES/64/293, Article 38, of 12 August 2010, also known as the United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons, established the United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for Victims of Trafficking in Persons (UNVTF) and assigned UNODC with the management of the Fund. The UNVTF's mandate is to provide humanitarian, legal and financial aid to victims of trafficking in persons worldwide. The Trust Fund is guided by 5-member Board of Trustees appointed by the UN Secretary General, with due regard to geographical representation.
The UNVTF has received contributions of over US$ 2 million from Member States, private sector entities and individuals. To date, the Trust Fund has allocated US$ 1.7 million in grants to 28 non-governmental organizations providing direct and effective assistance to victims of human trafficking through specialized services and activities, tailored to provide support with recovery, restitution and redress. Through two global calls for proposals held so far, NGOs have been applying for grants of up to US$25,000 per year for a project duration of up to three years.
More information, including on how to contribute to the Trust Fund, can be found on the UNVTF website: www.unodc.org/humantraffickingfund

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: In 1801 the "Social Library of Sunderland" organization was formed. Those wishing to borrow books would pay a small fee, a practice that was abandoned in 1878. For the next 97 years the library was housed in a wide range of locations, from member's homes to the general store. By 1896 the ever-expanding library had moved to the Old Town Hall, but it became clear that a new, permanent building was needed. In 1898, John L. Graves, a former Sunderland resident, agreed to pay for a new library. Two years later it was built.
Note: The Allen Brothers of Amherst designed the library. It is in the asymmetrical Tudor Revival style that was popular in Western Massachusetts at the turn of the century.

LONDON - Eugenie Bouchard moved a step closer to being crowned the queen of Wimbledon as the Canadian glamour girl booked a semi-final showdown with Simona Halep on Wednesday.
Bouchard's royalty-obsessed mother named the 20-year-old after the younger daughter of Prince Andrew, Queen Elizabeth II's second son, while her sister is named after Beatrice, Andrew's elder daughter. Those regal connections have earned Bouchard plenty of intrigued enquires from the British media over the last fortnight and the 13th seed looks in the mood for a royal audience with the Duchess of Kent, who traditionally presents the Venus Rosewater dish awarded to the women's singles champion at the All England Club. Bouchard reached her first semi-final at the grasscourt Grand Slam and ensured a move into the world top 10 by beating German ninth seed Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-4.
Victory also meant that Bouchard has reached the last-four of all three Grand Slams in 2014. The blonde Canadian was rarely threatened on Court One where Kerber, a Wimbledon semi-finalist in 2012, was still feeling the effects of her marathon fourth round win over Maria Sharapova 24 hours earlier. Bouchard, who will rise to number eight in the world next week to equal the record high ranking achieved by a Canadian, said: "It was definitely a tough battle, I've played her a few times and it's always been tough, so I knew it wasn't over.
"I tried to keep fighting and thankfully I did it in the end. "I've been working hard to stay mentally in the moment. I made a few bad errors but I came up with enough winners at the right time." Bouchard has played Halep just once -- losing in three sets at Indian Wells earlier this year. "Halep is a very good player, third in the world. I'm definitely excited to be in the semi-finals and I want to go one step further," she said.
But Bouchard, beaten in the last four at both the Australian and French Opens, must find a solution to her semi-final failures against a daunting opponent in world number three Halep on Thursday. Halep swept into her first Wimbledon semi-final with a crushing 6-4, 6-0 victory over 2013 finalist Sabine Lisicki. Halep recorded her 250th career win in memorable fashion as the world number three dismissed German 19th seed Lisicki, beaten by Marion Bartoli in the final 12 months ago, in just 57 minutes on Centre Court. The 22-year-old reached her maiden Grand Slam final at the French Open last month and, after winning 11 consecutive games to sink Lisicki, she is on the verge of another major final at the All England Club. "I played my best today and I was enjoying every moment. It was incredible to be on Centre Court. It was just my second time," Halep said. "She had a 4-1 lead but I came back well after that. I'm really happy I could win.
"I have more confidence now and the secret is just to enjoy every match. I feel happy on court and I'm moving well." Since losing in the Wimbledon second round last year, Halep has enjoyed a rapid rise up the rankings from 32nd 12 months ago to her current lofty position of third and now she stands on the verge of breaking new ground back in south-west London. Halep, who was only the second Romanian to reach the last eight at Wimbledon, had already made the strong showings at both the Australian and French Opens this year, advancing to the final in Paris last month before losing a three-set classic against Sharapova.

Since 1963, the month of May has been set aside as Older Americans Month in order to celebrate the contributions and achievements of elders as they continue to contribute to the community.
The Morehouse Council on Aging is continuing the tradition of paying tribute to those citizens living in Morehouse Parish by taking part in Older Americans Month activities.
MCOA Activity Directors Kim Ritchie and Debra Robinson have several activities planned through the council, one being a domino tournament, which will take place May 2.
The tournament is open to anyone over the age of 60 but pre-registration is required by April 30. There is no entry fee and Ritchie said depending on the number of people signed up, it may be played one day a week for the entire month. Other activities planned for the month include a trip to the state capital in Baton Rouge and a trip to Tallulah to participate in a Senior Olympics Fun Day and a pot luck sampler meal.
The Council also offers many programs year round for seniors such as a "Wellness Program," which has various methods of working out including free weights, aerobics, line dancing and arm chair aerobics, and a meal program where anyone over the age of 60 may receive a hot, well-balanced lunch-time meal for $1.50.
"It's a great place that seniors can come and socialize while getting a meal where the menu is prepared by a nutritionalist," Ritchie said. "They can also keep active by participating in the various workout plans."
For more information regarding the Morehouse Council on Aging or to sign up for the domino tournament, go to the nutrition center, located at 200 Elm Street, between 8 a.m. and noon and 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. or call 283.0845.

2005 All-Candy Expo Features Indulgent Treats
At this years All Candy Expo, the recent charge of the lite brigade was challenged by indulgence.
1 of 2 < 1 | 2 > View on one page
|Teen pop group TGK likes their candy. From left to right: Gina Thomas is a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup aficionado, David Wolf craves lots of Nerds Ropes, James Foley thrives on Butterfinger Crisps and Ivette Thomas likes her break to include Take Five.
Attendees were entertained with the sweet sounds and eye candy of up-and-coming teen pop group TGK, the new spokespersons (replacing 'N Sync) for TeenCentral.net. It's a safe Internet resource to help kids face and overcome life's daily challenges.
Confectionery manufacturers are brilliant at creating buzz - both literally and figuratively - and it resulted in $26.3 billion in sales during 2004. They keep the category fresh by introducing scores of limited edition products, new flavor combinations and creative concepts to engage consumers of all ages. "One thousand new products were introduced last year, and the success rate was 25 percent," says Larry Graham, president of NCA.
Combining candy and fitness may seem like an oxymoron, but the combo increasingly sweetens the bottom line for innovative confectioners. Consumers spend some $3 billion annually on energy bars, drinks and gels, so maybe it's no surprise to see Sports Beans from Jelly Belly. Each 1-oz. serving contains vitamins C and E and 120 mg of electrolytes to boost energy and prevent dehydration.
Meanwhile, at the bar, Hershey's Smart Zone-crunchy chocolate brownie flavor is balanced with proteins, nutrients and reduced carbs. House of Brussels Chocolates subsidiary Chocomed's real chocolate-covered 24/7 all-natural nutrition bar offers a carb, dietary fat and protein ratio of 40/30/30 and tastes like an indulgent candy bar. Or you can fast track with XLR8 Energy Chews, made by BestSweet Inc., endorsed by stock car racing icon Dale Earnhardt Jr. The tasty chews are made with caffeine, guarana and ginseng (three equal one can of Red Bull).
Taking the Red Bull by the horns (minus the sugar) are Big Sky's Warp mints, hypercharged with guarana and ginseng, or sugar-free Blitz Energy Gum, containing 100 mg of caffeine (about the same as a cup of coffee), by Schuster Marketing Corp. Other offerings include Myntz! Green Tea (extract) with Ginseng Breath Mints from Vitech America, Lotte's Green Tea Mint Sugarless chewing gum or Nutra-Trim gum containing green tea, l-carnitine, chromium picolinate and guarana, which claims to boost metabolism and control appetite to help you lose weight.
With the number of diabetics in the U.S. at 18 million - some 6 percent of the population - and aging baby boomers trying to lose weight, sugar-free options continue to proliferate. Last year, sugar-free candy sales were up 60 percent. Hershey's reformulated its line of sugar-free chocolates to have a creamier, richer taste, and added sugar-free Twizzlers and Reese's White Peanut Butter Cup miniatures to its lineup.
Russell Stover Candies' Whitman's Weight Watchers Mint Patties and English Toffee Squares stress portion control. One mini-bar garners only one point on the Weight Watcher's scale.
Dark chocolate took the stage this year - the darker the better. Hershey kicks off its limited edition offerings with Almond Joy Chocolate Chocolate and Pina Colada flavors and Hershey Double Chocolate Bar (milk chocolate filled with dark chocolate). Masterfoods debuts Twix Caramel White Chocolate Cookie Bars and Ice Cream Flavored M&M's. Tootsie Roll offers Junior Mints Inside Outs (dark chocolate inside and a white coating outside). Chocolate also appeared, apparently for the first time, in a chewing gum: Choco'la from O'Lala Foods Inc.
Other flavors du jour include mint, orange, cinnamon, caramel, banana, honey, licorice, blueberry, raspberry and strawberry, and flavors in general are more intense. Jelly Belly's "rookie" flavors include Apricot, Buttered Toast, Chocolate Cherry Cake, Honey Graham Cracker and Tabasco-flavored Cinnamon. It also debuted Jelly Belly Mint Trio (a medley of spearmint, peppermint and wintergreen) and Jelly Belly Baked Beans, a tribute to the slow-cooked beans served at Fenway Park in Boston.
Tootsie Roll goes tropical with its Tootsie Roll Tropical Storms Tootsie Pops in Berry-Berry Punch, Orange-Pineapple, Lemon-Lime, Strawberry Banana and Citrus-Punch - but there's still a chewy Tootsie Roll inside. Poppycock, from Lincoln Snacks, added a Peanut Butter and Chocolate variety. Adults can take a gamble with Sin City Suckers, lollipops shaped like dice with handpainted dots in Grape of Spades or Pina*Co*Slatta flavors, made by Sin City Suckers. Giving a presentation? Quench Gum, by Mueller, stimulates your salivary glands to eliminate dry mouth.
Lindt & Springli Inc.'s Lindt Intense Pear Dark Chocolate, with real pear pieces combined with almonds and covered with dark chocolate is a divine indulgence. Coffee perks up Madelaine Chocolate Novelties' Latte and Espresso cups - edible truffle cups with coffee-flavored ganache. The outer shell of DeFranco's Espresso Secrets cradles a burst of authentic espresso coffee hidden inside.
Wolfgang's Natural Blueberries and Raspberries dipped in dark chocolate are made with a patent-pending process making the individually wrapped pieces shelf stable. For those who prefer lighter fare, Brach's Confections Orchard Fresh line features real fruit puree centers of Cherry, Strawberry and Blueberry covered in milk chocolate. Kookaburry Liquorice combines two unexpected flavors in its Kookaburra Chocolate Covered "Old Fashioned" Black Liquorice. Darrell Lea offers mango, strawberry and green apple licorice varieties. Black current is coming soon to the line, which the movie character Crocodile Dundee favored.

Girls just want to have fun dress
Added Mar 31, 2013
by monaverdour
Brisbane, Australia
This dress is self drafted made from cotton T-shirt material. It just screams 'Fun!' I basically lay down a stretch cotton dress of mine that is quite fitted, and cut around it. It has a bodice and then a skirt which is basically straight pieces of material, but I made sure they were a little bigger than my waist measurements at the top. I then added a frill (or what was supposed to be a frill) at the bottom to give the dress a bit of length.

I found the fabric in an op shop, like I find most of my fabric. It was scraps of thin strips that luckily worked into a dress.

Five-run seventh inning sends O's past Rays
St. Petersburg, FL – Adam Jones delivered a go-ahead two-run double during a seventh-inning outburst that lifted the Baltimore Orioles to a 7-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in the season opener for both American League East members at Tropicana Field.
The Orioles scored five times to battle back from a 3-2 deficit, with Chris Davis capping the big inning with a three-run homer off Rays reliever Jake McGee.
Matt Wieters belted a two-run shot against reigning AL Cy Young winner David Price earlier in the game, part of a 2-for-3 performance for the Baltimore catcher. Jones finished with three of the Orioles' 13 hits on the day.
Baltimore also received six solid innings from starting pitcher Jason Hammel (1-0), with the former Ray yielding three runs and just three hits to win his first career Opening Day assignment.
"It just shows what kind of competitor he is. He knew he didn't have his best stuff today, but he went out and gave us a chance to win," Wieters said of Hammel.
Price held the Orioles to two runs over six innings and left with a one-run edge that McGee (0-1) squandered by being rocked for five runs and four hits while recording only two outs.
"I thought we did a lot of really good things today and they got us in the seventh inning," Rays manager Joe Maddon said.
Ben Zobrist went 2-for-3 with a homer and two RBI to pace the Rays offensively, with Desmond Jennings also collecting a pair of hits that included a run-scoring double.
Stepping to the plate with two on and two out and the Orioles down 3-2 in the top of the seventh, Jones sent Baltimore back ahead by driving a McGee offering into the gap in left center for a double that brought home Brian Roberts and Nick Markakis, both of whom had reached on singles.
Wieters was then intentionally walked by Rays skipper Joe Maddon to set up a left-on-left matchup with Davis, but the move backfired when the first baseman launched the first pitch he saw from McGee about 10 rows back into the stands in right center for a 7-3 Baltimore advantage.
Tampa Bay got a run back in the eighth when Jennings singled, moved to third on a stolen base combined with a throwing error by Wieters, and crossed the plae on Sam Fuld's ground out. However, 2012 MLB saves leader Jim Johnson came on to toss a scoreless ninth and close out a successful opener for the Orioles.
The Rays had taken a 3-2 lead by reaching Hammel for a pair of runs in the bottom of the sixth.
Kelly Johnson drew a leadoff walk and Jennings followed with a double down the left-field line to bring home the tying run. After a bunt from Fuld advanced Jennings to third, Zobrist came through with a sacrifice fly to deep center that easily plated his teammate.
Price didn't display All-Star form early on, as Jones laced a double during the top of the first before Wieters crushed a changeup from the Tampa ace deep into the seats in left-center field to quickly put Baltimore in front.
Hammel, on the other hand, set down 10 of the first 11 Rays before hanging a slider that Zobrist deposited over the wall in right with one out in the bottom of the third.
The Orioles had other chances against Price, but the hard-throwing lefty was able to bear down in several situations. He got Davis to ground into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded in the third, and J.J. Hardy and Wieters began the fourth and sixth, respectively, with doubles but were left stranded.
Game Notes
The Orioles have now won three straight season openers and improved to 10-3 in their first outing of the year since 2001 ... Price had held the Orioles to just one run over 22 1/3 innings in three starts against Baltimore last season .... Hammel, a 10th-round draft choice of the Rays in 2002 who pitched three seasons for Tampa Bay, was taking the mound at Tropicana Field for the first time since being traded by the Rays to Colorado a few days into the 2009 campaign ... Baltimore took 10 of the 18 meetings between the clubs last season.

Intel rolls out Skulltrail high-end gaming mobo
Dem bones, dem bones
Intel has formally launched 'Skulltrail', its two-CPU gaming motherboard that's ready for both AMD's CrossFire and Nvidia's SLI multi-GPU technologies.
Skulltrail - which Register Hardware reviewed last month - can take two quad-core 3.2GHz Core 2 Extreme QX9775 processors - essentially a pair of server-oriented Xeon CPUs with gamer-friendly branding, which is why they cost $1499 a pop.
Intel's D5400XS: the mobo formerly known as Skulltrail
Adding to the board's price: the use of FB-DIMM server memory. The board itself - now officially dubbed the D5400XS; its chipset is Intel's own 5400 part - costs $649.
Throw in a pair of AMD or Nvidia graphics cards for co-operative rendering, and it's clear Skulltrail-based systems are going to cost a pretty penny.
That hasn't stopped a handful of system builders, including Voodoo, Falcon Northwest, Armai, Boxx, Scan and Velocity Micro, announcing machines based on the technology
For your money, you also get six USB 2.0 ports on the I/O panel, two eSATA ports, Gigabit Ethernet, one Firewire port and five audio mini jacks and an optical output for the Intel HD audio. There are six 3Gb/s SATA connectors with Intel RAID.
Intel's next gaming chipset, X48, is due next month.

For some new parents, the first date night out after baby might consist of dinner and a movie while constantly checking their cell phones for any word from the babysitter. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West (surprise!) are not your average new parents.
The couple arrived at Paris Fashion Week in typically glamorous style — and with the seeming intent to prove that Kardashian has wasted no time in working on her fitness. The mogul appeared by her man's side in coordinating casual outfits; she in a Max Mara coat draped over her skintight leggings and comfortable tee, he in jeans, a chain and Chukka-style shoes.
RELATED: See even more glamorous stars at Fashion Week here!
Then while she slipped into a second-skin, high slit camel dress and strappy sandals (not pictured), clearly designed to show off that postbaby bod, West tried a very different look in a tie-dye shirt, long raincoat and fringed moccasins. But the couple was back in step for the Givenchy show that night, both showing off some cleavage in all-black outfits. Hers was sheer, leg-baring and ruffly, while his was sleek and serious. And judging from the amount of front-row nuzzling that was going on, he's really into her new blonde hair.
Are you into the couple's synchronized Parisian style?

The goal of high availability is to produce a system that lets an IT department minimize downtime on critical systems. In other words, high availability is about putting in place the people, processes, and technologies that allow for rapid rebuilding of a failed component while incurring the least amount of outage. You measure availability with respect to downtime.
Disaster recovery is a buzzword that's currently out of favor with IT executives and business decision makers. But the goal of disaster recovery is also to put in place people, processes, and technologies that let you rapidly rebuild a failed component while incurring the least amount of outage. In IT, disaster recovery is seen as a cost that drains IT budgets with long, complicated processes, but high availability is recognized as essential to the company's profit stream. That's unfortunate, because the words are interchangeable when you're talking about keeping systems up and running.
For IT professionals who wish they had the budget to implement robust disaster-recovery plans, the solution is easy—package disaster recovery as high availability. IT executives reading this article need to understand that you can leverage every investment you make in disaster recovery into high availability, and vice versa. No matter which term you use, you're trying to accomplish the same goal: making data available to users 100 percent of the time.

Employees Allegedly Subjected to Hangman's Nooses and Nazi Symbols at Drilling Site
EL PASO, Texas - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced a $859,000 settlement of a racial harassment lawsuit under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 against TMBR/Sharp Drilling, Inc.(TMBR), a Midland, Texas-based oil drilling corporation, on behalf of one African-American former employee and four of his former co-workers.
The EEOC's suit charged TMBR with creating a racially hostile work environment for the African-American employee and four of his White co-workers because of their association with him.
The harassment included derogatory remarks, slurs, ridicule and intimidation on a daily basis. According to the suit, the five former TMBR employees were subjected to the displaying of Nazi "SS" symbols and hangman's nooses around the drilling site.
Under the terms of the settlement, the five former employees will evenly split the $859,000 in total monetary benefits, receiving nearly $172,000 each. The EEOC filed suit after exhausting its conciliation efforts to reach a voluntary pre-litigation settlement. The litigation, Civil Action No. MO-02-CA-065, was filed on August 15, 2001, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, El Paso Division, and then transferred to the Midland-Odessa Division.
"We are pleased with the terms of this agreement," said Leticia Dominguez, EEOC Trial Attorney in the agency's El Paso Area Office. "The settlement provides significant monetary relief to the victims of this egregious discrimination and shows what can happen when employees come together to take a stand against unlawful workplace conduct. No individual should ever have to endure such harassment in order to earn a living."
In addition to enforcing Title VII, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including sexual harassment or pregnancy) or national origin and protects employees who complain about such offenses from retaliation, the EEOC enforces the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, which protects workers age 40 and older from discrimination based on age; the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which prohibits gender-based wage discrimination; the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits employment discrimination against people with disabilities in the federal sector; Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits employment discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Further information about the Commission is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Go Buy Now: Koh Gen Do's Brightening Moisture Mask
You probably associate clay masks with a thick formula that dries into a cracking, hard surface on your face. It might have delivered tighter, cleaner pores, but the tradeoff was dry, itchy skin--a bummer for any skin type.
A few weeks ago I was introduced to an innovation in clay masks. How exactly is a clay mask revolutionized? It doesn't dry. Koh Gen Do's Brightening Moisture Mask ($75) draws out impurities, while also conditioning and toning the skin, and since it doesn't dry it's gentle on the skin. Apply the mask to damp skin, allow to sit for five to six minutes, wipe off with cotton pads, and rinse your face. I've been using it twice a week since and have noticed my skin is brighter, with less clogged pores.
The secret is a special clay accompanied by high levels of moisture. Moroccan lava clay is harvested from the High Atlas mountains in its namesake country, then combined with Japanese hot spring water and white birch sap juice for hydration. The clay is rich in minerals like iron, magnesium, calcium, and potassium, making it a powerful skin detoxifier. Koh Gen Do's signature botanical extracts are in there, too: artichoke leaf, thymus, rosemary leaf, Melissa officinalis leaf, and sage leaf reduce inflammation, soothe, and hydrate skin.
Another reason to choose this non-drying clay mask? We've mentioned this before, but stripping the skin of oil can actually make your face overcompensate, producing even more sebum than it did previously. Instead, this mask balances oil production to a healthy level while drawing out impurities from pores. Trust me, your skin will thank you.

LAVAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Jan. 24, 2013) - NQ Exploration Inc. ("NQ") (TSX VENTURE:NQE) is pleased to release the results of an initial resource estimate carried out on its 100% owned Carheil property.
At the request of NQE's management, Micon International Limited of Toronto (Micon) conducted a resource estimate for the mineralization contained in the Ag1 polymetallic zone discovered by NQE through its recent drilling programs on its Carheil Property. The resource estimate is included in a NI43-101 technical report dated December 15th 2012.
According to Micon's 43-101 compliant report, the Ag1 zone is a polymetallic zone with enriched values of lead, zinc, copper and gold in addition to the silver that remains unexplored to the northwest and open at depth in the Nordest area. NQE controls approximately 8 km of strike of the favourable stratigraphy; however, this potential remains hypothetical since the lithological units do not outcrop and very limited drilling was done west of the Nordest area.
Micon carried out a resource estimated of the Ag1 and Ag2 zones based on their silver content exclusively. Anomalous base metals as well as gold were not taken into consideration at this stage of development of the project given the absence of metallurgical studies on the mineralized material. Specific gravity measurements were not carried out by NQ personnel. Micon had no other option than to use the lowest possible value for this type of rock: 2.7 t/m3. Given the fact that the zones contain significant base metals (lead and zinc), it is understood that this value underestimates tonnage and silver content.
The following table gives a summary of Micon's resource estimate. Micon divided the resource into indicated and inferred categories reflecting the density of drilling along the deposit. It is estimated that the Ag1 zone contains 1,466,000 oz. of silver in the Indicated category while the Inferred resource for that structure totals 4,475,000 oz. Ag. The Ag2 zone contains an additional 277,000 oz. Ag in the Inferred category.
Carheil Project Mineral resource Summary for Nordest Area, as of 30 November 2012
Block grades for silver were interpolated into the individual blocks of the mineralized domains/envelopes using the search parameters described in the table below and the True Inverse Distance (ID2) function of the GEMS software. The mineral resources include all mineralized blocks within one to three times the variogram range and are estimated with a minimum of two drill holes. The areas and contiguous blocks that were estimated in Passes 1 were classified in the Indicated category and the blocks estimated in Passes 2 and 3 that did not meet the criteria of the Indicated category are classified in the Inferred category. Generally, the Indicated resource area has been drilled on a 50 m by 50 m and the Inferred resource areas have been drilled on 100 m by 100 m grid or larger. The estimated resources are presented in Table 1.1 at 50 and 100 g/t silver cut-off grades.
Summary of Search/Interpolation Parameters for the Carheil Nordest Area
In the Nordest area, the Ag1 polymetallic zone remains poorly tested to the northwest and open at depth. NQE controls approximately 8 km of strike of the favourable stratigraphy; however, this potential remains hypothetical since lithologies do not outcrop and very limited drilling was done west of the Nordest area. Therefore, NQE has proposed to conduct geophysical surveys in order to follow the sulphide rich felsic-intermediate horizon along strike which hosts, near its top, the Ag1 polymetallic zone. Based on results of the geophysical survey, NQE then proposes that it will conduct stratigraphic drilling along the westward projection of the horizon. However, the strongest geophysical response might not correspond to the stringer mineralization typical of the Ag1 polymetallic zone. Thus NQE is proposing to conduct a two phase exploration program with a budget of $4,000,000.
Amongst a number of recommendations, Micon reports the following:
NQE's Carheil Project has the potential to contain mineralization that will yield significant silver and potentially lead, zinc, copper and gold. Micon agrees with the general direction of NQE's initial and proposed exploration programs for the Project and makes the following additional recommendations:
NQ is satisfied with this preliminary assessment of its Carheil project noting that most of the property remains virtually unexplored. The company intends to continue the definition of the Ag1 and Ag2 veins as well as explore for other lenses along the favourable stratigraphy.
Bill Lewis, senior geologist for Micon and Pierre O'Dowd, geologist and Vice President, Exploration of NQ Exploration Inc., have reviewed the technical content of this press release. Mrs. Lewis and O'Dowd are qualified persons under Regulation 43-101 respecting standards of disclosure for mineral projects.
NQ Exploration Inc. is a mining exploration company with a solid portfolio of mining properties in the James Bay and Abitibi regions of Quebec. NQ Exploration Inc. is betting on Quebec's excellent mineral potential and favourable investment climate to produce new world-class gold and base metal deposits.

He's a sophomore from Perham.
Samuel Stafki, Perham, Minn., a sophomore at the University of Minnesota, Crookston, recently completed his student solo flight. A law enforcement aviation major, Stafki's advisor is Mike Vivion, chief pilot on the Crookston campus. His flight instructor is Chase Enghauser, a 2012 graduate of the U of M, Crookston with a business management aviation degree. The milestone flight was completed at the Crookston Municipal Airport.
The first student solo flight is a significant accomplishment and cannot be overemphasized. Landing an aircraft involves difficult and complex eye-hand coordination. A student pilot begins flight training by learning a wide variety of tasks of which landing is one of the most difficult. As flight training progresses, the ability to solo is largely predicated upon the flight instructor's assessment of the student's landings. Consistency is critical and sometimes one of the most difficult to achieve as even the best pilot can attest.
Around the middle of a private pilot's flight training, the instructor flies with the student having him/her land. The instructor will exit the airplane and endorse the student pilot certificate and logbook for solo. With that designation, the budding aviator is sent off for three trips around the traffic pattern each followed by that all important landing.
Following American aviation tradition, removing new pilot's shirt tail is a sign of confidence by the instructor in the student following the completion of the first solo flight. It stems from the days when a student sat in the front seat of the aircraft with the instructor behind. Radios were not a part of early aviation making it necessary for the instructor to tug on the student pilot's shirt tail to get his/her attention. A successful first solo flight is significant in that it means the student can fly without the instructor, and consequently, no longer needs a shirt tail. In observance of this tradition, aviation students at the U of M, Crookston have their shirt tails cut off by the proud instructor, and they are displayed at the Crookston Municipal Airport.
The University of Minnesota, Crookston's aviation program is a partnership in which aviation fundamentals are provided by the University of North Dakota (UND) Aerospace Foundation. Students have the option to choose tracks in agricultural aviation, business aviation, law enforcement aviation, or natural resources aviation.

As I wrote recently, I've been working on a Firefox extension. And despite my meager skills as a programmer, the Mozilla development environment stoops just low enough for me to climb aboard and do my thing successfully. This past Friday, the Click SEAlang extension entered beta. Even if I do say so myself, it is (or will be) one of the most useable dictionary extensions available for Firefox*.
I say that for a simple reason -- other dictionary extensions make you work too hard. Either you open up a panel, enter your word and look it up, or you highlight a word in your browser and the definition shows up in a separate tab or window.
I wanted to simply highlight a word and then see the results without leaving the page. And I managed that, again not because I'm a whiz but because the tools let me leverage my experience without requiring heavy-duty training.
In simple terms, that means I could use Javascript to do what I wanted instead of having to master C++ (or C or python or perl or ruby).
The release of the Gecko-based browser MicroB for the Nokia Internet Tablets excites me for precisely the same reason. The extension fits into the browser environment, leaving the heavy lifting for the full-time programmers, and weekend programmers like myself need only tangle with the smaller tasks of extending the browser into useful areas.
(MicroB won't take Firefox add-ons directly; in fact there'll be full-scale porting of any UI aspects, but the entry barrier looks comparable.)
So how did I get started on this path?
In my case, an article by Uche Ogbuche at developerWorks, "Browser extensions using XUL," got me looking at XUL a second time (XUL, pronounced "zool" as in "tool," is an XML-based language for building user interfaces).
As it happens, one reason XUL looked more attactive to me this time around is I had an idea for an extension. Or perhaps I should say I now had a problem I really needed solved, and Ogbuche's article convinced me I could solve it myself. What I wanted was a simple way to look up words in Khmer (eg, the Cambodian language), which I've been studying now for more than a year.
One difficulty I had when I started my Khmer studies stemmed from there being no online dictionaries in Khmer Unicode; no desktop dictionaries either, for that matter. But Doug Cooper at the SouthEast Asian Languages library (sealang.net) persuaded the publishers of Robert Headley's 1977 and 1997 Khmer-English dictionaries to let those two volumes be put online (with Headley's blessing, of course).
So about six months ago, I got early access to those dictionaries and began using them seriously.
Eventually I found the process of looking up words tiresome. And Ogbuche's article got me thinking: Why not just adapt one of the existing Firefox dictionary extensions?
I wish I could simply have taken one of the multitude of foreign-language-dictionary lookup tools and simply replaced the URI of the original language dictionary with one for SEAlang. That was my original plan. I wrote to Doug Cooper and asked if SEAlang had an API. He wrote back to say it didn't yet, but he would finish it, and soon enough we had concocted a much more elaborate plan. Our extension would enable a user to:
- look up any highlighted word in Khmer, Thai, Burmese or Lao and have results returned from the appropriate SEAlang dictionary
- search a monolingual corpus for any of those languages that would return sample sentences from texts published on the internet (which allows one to see how the word is used in context) and to specify the word collocated with some other word(s)
- search a bitext corpus of example sentences, again to see the word in context, but with word-by-word translations
- reverse-search the dictionary for definitions that include a specific English word
- reverse-search the bitext corpus for English words
And of course in our discussions, we persuaded each other that the key thing was to do this in a way that made the dictionary extension useful and easy to use.
We both agreed that that meant three things -- being able to access all the tools at SEAlang easily, being able to look up a word by double-clicking on it and using the right-click context menu to initiate the search, and seeing the results without having to leave the page with the highlighted word.
So we discarded every existing dictionary extension as too clunky to work from. We decided that third criterion meant using a sidebar to display the results, and not a separate tab or window.
Instead, we adapted the Split Pannel extension by max1million. It was the only extension we encountered that opened a side panel from a context-menu command that looked at what text was highlighted on the browser page.
Click SEAlang adds two commands to your context-menu -- one to initiate a dictionary search and one that pops up a submenu with options to search the corpus or bitext corpus, or to reverse-search the dictionary or bitext corpus for an English word. Right-clicking on a highlighted word and choosing any of these options opens a side panel, where the results are displayed. Further searches are also displayed there, with the user being able to navigate back and forth among them. The highlighted word shows up in the context-menu as does the user's preferred language when an English word is highlighted for reverse-search.
Because corpus results are often very wide, the user can indicate the results should be shown in a panel at the page bottom by using a right-click to choose the SEAlang command. (This is a feature provided by Split Pannel.)
Not necessary to Click SEAlang's functionality but provided by Split Pannel is the ability to drag any URI into the panel and have that page displayed there.
Most of the cleverness in this extension came from earlier work by other programmers. But I think that the value-add in Click SEAlang is significant. Which brings me back to my original point that, with a good framework, useful contributions can be made by even part-time programmers. I'm glad I didn't have to start from a blank page; I wouldn't have finished, I think. So I'm sitting here with a satisfied glow, knowing my contribution was simply the outside layer and very pleased to be able to make any contribution at all.
Simply from the great framework Mozilla has been building, I'm glad Nokia has moved to incorporate it (somewhat). I hope XUL will come eventually to Maemo because of the enlarged scope of possibilities it means for all of us.
The Maemo framework that Nokia provides for Internet Tablet application development parallels the Mozilla approach in many ways, especially in lowering the barrier to getting to an app.
* Currently the Click SEAlang extension is hardwired to work only with the Khmer, Thai, Lao or Burmese dictionaries and other tools at SEAlang.net, with Vietnamese coming soon. But a generalized version will follow, allowing users to specify their own choice of dictionaries. And if you dont have a font installed for one of those SouthEast Asian languages, the current version wont be of any use to you.

Unfortunately, unless something has changed, I doubt XUL will make it to the IT platform, as their <=400MHz processors just don't have the power to interpret XUL fast enough to make it an effective UI.

Makes me curious as to whether MicroB's UI was built entirely by hand or whether there was a XUL to Hildon tool to do some of the work . . .

As I predicted, Tuesday's "Sexy Women Flipping Tires" gallery — as dumb as it was — wound up generating way more pageviews than anything else we posted this week, which means that these Fitness Motivation photo galleries are here to stay. You only have yourselves to blame.
Today's gallery was inspired by MMA fighter Felice Herrig, and focuses on sexy women swinging ropes (aka battle ropes, combat ropes). Check out the photos above, and if you have any suggestions for the next Fitness Motivation gallery, drop 'em in the comments. At this point, "sexy women doing squats" is a strong front-runner.
