README.vos - Perl for Stratus VOS
This file contains notes for building perl on the Stratus VOS operating system. Perl is a scripting or macro language that is popular on many systems. See perlbook for a number of good books on Perl.
These are instructions for building Perl from source. This version of Perl is not supported on VOS Release 14.2 or earlier releases. If you have a Continuum platform running VOS Release 14.3 through 14.7, download Perl from the Stratus Anonymous FTP site at ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/posix/ga/continuum/continuum.html. If you have a V Series platform running VOS Release 15.0 or later, or if you have a V Series platform running OpenVOS Release 17.0 or later, download Perl from ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/posix/ga/v-series/v-series.html. The perl distribution files on the Stratus anonymous FTP site are stored in a format called a "bundled file". Instructions for unbundling the Perl distribution file are at ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/utility/utility.html.
If you are running VOS Release 14.4.1 or later, you can obtain a pre-compiled, supported copy of perl by purchasing Release 2.0.1 (or later) of the VOS GNU C/C++ and GNU Tools product from Stratus Technologies.
To build perl from its source code on the Stratus Continuum platform, you must be have VOS Release 14.5.0 or later, the STCP product, and the GNU C/C++ and GNU Tools, Release 2.0.1 or later. On the V Series platform you must have VOS Release 15.0.0 or later, and any version of the GNU C/C++ and GNU Tools product.
To build full perl using the supplied Configure script and makefiles, change to the "vos" subdirectory and type the command "compile_full_perl" or "start_process compile_full_perl". This will configure, build, and test perl.
>system>ported and all subdirectories.
Then type
gmake install
>system>ported>lib>perl5>VERSION>7100 >system>ported>lib>perl5>VERSION>8000 >system>ported>lib>perl5>VERSION>i786
Put site-specific architecture-dependent files into one of the following directories:
>system>ported>lib>perl5>site_perl>VERSION>7100 >system>ported>lib>perl5>site_perl>VERSION>8000 >system>ported>lib>perl5>site_perl>VERSION>i786
This port of Perl version 5 to VOS prefers Unix-style, slash-separated pathnames over VOS-style greater-than-separated pathnames. VOS-style pathnames should work in most contexts, but if you have trouble, replace all greater-than characters by slash characters. Because the slash character is used as a pathname delimiter, Perl cannot process VOS pathnames containing a slash character in a directory or file name; these must be renamed.
This port of Perl also uses Unix-epoch date values internally. As long as you are dealing with ASCII character string representations of dates, this should not be an issue. The supported epoch is January 1, 1980 to January 17, 2038.
See the file pod/perlport.pod for more information about the VOS port of Perl.
Prior to VOS Release 14.7.0, VOS does not support automatically mapping overflowed floating-point values to +infinity, nor automatically mapping underflowed floating-point values to zero, unlike many other platforms. The Perl pack function has been modified to perform such mapping in software on VOS. Performing other floating-point computations that underflow or overflow will probably result in SIGFPE. Don't push your luck.
As of VOS Release 14.7.0 or later, the VOS POSIX runtime sets up the PA-RISC and IA-32 hardware floating-point status register so that the overflow and underflow exceptions do not trap, but instead automatically convert the result to infinity or zero, as appropriate. As of this writing, there are still floating-point operations that can trap, for example, subtracting two infinite values. This is recorded as suggestion posix-1022, which has been fixed in VOS Release 15.2 and higher.
When Perl 5.9.0 is built using the native build process on VOS Release 14.7.0 and GNU C++/GNU Tools 2.0.2a, all but nine attempted tests either pass or result in TODO (ignored) failures. The tests that fail are:
t/io/dup, test 2 t/io/tell, test 28 t/op/pack, test 0 ext/B/t/bytecode, test 1 ext/Devel/Peek/t/Peek, test 1 ext/Encode/t/enc_module, test 1 ext/IO/t/io_dup, test 2 lib/ExtUtils/t/MM_Unix, test 94 lib/Net/ing/t/450_service, test 8
I'm offering this port "as is". You can ask me questions, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to answer them. There are some excellent books available on the Perl language; consult a book seller.
If you want a supported version of perl for VOS, purchase the VOS GNU C/C++ and GNU Tools Release 2.0.1 (or later) product from Stratus Technologies, along with a support contract (or from anyone else who will sell you support).

No, alas, we did NOT sell every wonderful item we had out for sale in 2009, and yes, we did save some of the real goodies for 2010. Among the wonders that somehow got overlooked in the rush were:
The Revolution Betrayed, with a page autographed by Leon Trotsky (Trotsky was in exile in Mexico at the time. The pages were sent to him at Diego Rivera's place, and Frida Kahlo handed them to Trotsky one at a time for signing. She then packed them up and sent back to the publisher, who bound one in the front of each special copy of the book)
Alice in Wonderland, signed by Alice: let's face it, a $2500 book is not an impulse purchase
We sold some, but there are copies left of that nifty art poster celebrating the 25th Book Fair left. You can buy one now at the A.C. (Art Collection) McClurg Bookstore in the library lobby.
A silver-plated computer mouse (we did sell the metronome that would only tick if held at a 45-degree angle, though.)
An issue of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine featuring a ghost story set at the Newberry Library Book Fair
A primitive sculpture—possibly African—of a very irritated-looking cat (probably irritated because its tail is missing)
The City That a Cow Kicked Over: that lovely poetic tribute to Chicago rising from the ruins
And, as far as I could tell in the debris of the record section, we sold no Christmas LPs again this year. Many of the Christmas CDs sold, and I could not find the 78rpm recording of that perennial classic "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas". So there's always hope.
(If you're looking for a Christmas present, by the way, I hope I mentioned the art poster for the 25th Book Fair, available only at the A.C. (Awesome Craftsmanship) McClurg Bookstore in the Newberry lobby. The Gangland Map of Chicago is there too, if you like.)

Final reading of an ordinance that would add regulation of outdoor wood-burning furnaces to the city code is on the agenda for tonight's Rolla City Council meeting.
Final reading of an ordinance that would add regulation of outdoor wood-burning furnaces to the city code is on the agenda for tonight's Rolla City Council meeting.
"The ordinance offered for a final reading this evening would be considered a minimal approach to regulating outdoor furnaces," Community Development Director John Petersen wrote in his agenda commentary.
Petersen said it is "minimal" because, for instance:
• It lacks a sunset provision for legal, non-conforming furnaces.
• There's no limit on the months of operation.
• Lacking is a definition of "nuisance" as that word relates to outdoor furnaces.
• There are no specific enforcement procedures.
"A draft maximum approach has been included to help gain perspective for this draft ordinance," Petersen said.
What the minimal draft ordinance will do is force new outdoor furnaces to be located no less than 300 feet from any structure designed for human occupancy.
"This proposed standard all but assures that outdoor wood-burning furnaces may only be used on large parcels, which should reduce potential impact," Petersen wrote. "Additional installation rules would regulate chimney height and provide other clearance limits."
The ordinance is the result of a complaint from Ken and Margaret Hawley about a neighbor's furnace, which they say fills their house with smoke. They originally asked the council to ban outdoor wood-burning furnaces.
Neighbor Jeff Dvorak told the council last month that he has raised the level of the smoke stack on his furnace and is prepared to raise it further to satisfy the Hawleys.
In other business or discussion at Tuesday's council meeting at 6:30 p.m. in the council chambers at Rolla City Hall:
• Final reading will be heard on an ordinance approving the replat of Lots 24 and 25 of Wedgewood Manor Subdivision.
• Final reading of an ordinance approving the resubdivision/consolidation of Lots 11 and 12 of Wild Rose Hill will be heard.
• Final reading of an ordinance amending Section 27-106 of the Rolla City Code pertaining to public parking lot permits will be heard.
• The council will consider a motion to accept a bid for a 36-horsepower all-wheel drive diesel mower with a 72-inch mower deck.
• The council will consider a motion to accept a bid to provide health insurance excess coverage.
• Various reports from city departments and commissions will be noted for the record.
• The council will hear a presentation about the sixth annual Operation Neighborhood Cleanup set for Friday, Nov. 1, from Rolla Police Sgt. Vince Giacolone.
• City Administrator John Butz will give an overview of the plans for the Rolla Animal Shelter.
• An executive session to discussion city personnel will be held after the meeting.

Hunter Hayes wrote, produced and played every instrument on each of the 12 tracks on his GRAMMY nominated album.
His debut record, he discussed the process with Mix 105.1/Orlando.
"On the record we ended up counting 32 but that's not to say I can play any of those really well," Hunter confessed.
Hunter further explained that it was his decision to record the album this way.
"I did make the record by myself and I love playing all the instruments. That's just something I'm comfortable doing and I love it."
While it's nearly impossible for the multi-instrumentalist to play every instrument himself live he revealed that his favorite to play is guitar.
"Guitar is my home. That's what I write on, that's what I think in, that's the terms I think in," he said. "That's what I have the most of too. It's what I spend the most time with practicing. My extra time and spare time, it's all about the guitar for me."
The GRAMMYS air February 10 on CBS.

I know this will probably be extremely hard to find, but its worth a shot. Im looking for any AGD valve with the SN of 2112.
I know this will probably be extremely hard to find, but its worth a shot. Im looking for any AGD valve with the SN of 2112.
...Behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was hidden beneath the cave, I found it.
I brushed away the dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in my hands.
I had no idea what it might be, but it was beautiful...
Birthday? Anniversary?
Rush Fanboy?
What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound.
It's got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?
Who has the 1138 xmag valve? Ill take it

To the top!
When I was a young teen in Los Angeles, the next-door neighbor's grandson, "Parnell", was visiting from Oklahoma, and he was around my age, so we would hang out. I'll never forget one Summer. He just got off the plane and came over to my house. He picked-up the phone to call his friend in Oklahoma, and the first thing he yelled was: "Dude!" - "2112 from California!"
I got to see them on the Roll the Bones tour in Houston. My buddy was head of security and he got us up to the front on the floor. After the show was over Neil Peart had a roady hand a bouquet of drum sticks to this kid that was next to us.
I have been looking for you on Ebay and such, the closest I found I think was 2106.
Still looking
I still have the 2112 album on vinyl and i'll try to remember to check valve numbers.
i actually went and checked. 0/3. Sorry.
i checked my serial numbers and one was just "Caress of 'Stainless' Steel". sorry...

Huskers Expand Talent With Two Preseason Recruits
Lincoln, Neb. - University of Nebraska-Lincoln head coach Chuck Chmelka announced the addition of two all around recruits for the 2014 season. Travis Gollott and Antonio Castro look to add immediate impacts on a handful of events during their freshman campaigns, filling the shoes of departing seniors Wyatt Baier and Gabriel Sanchez.
"We are very excited to get two quality all arounders in Travis and Antonio," said Chmelka. "Both will contribute to our team immediately. They excel in the classroom and are great people."
Travis Gollott
A Pleasanton, Calif., native, Gollott finished eighth in floor exercise in the 16-to-18-year-old division at the 2012 US Visa Championships. He was the only gymnast to qualify for finals in all events at the 2011 Region 1 Finals and claimed the all-around championship as well as four individual event titles (floor, rings, parallel bars and high bar). The 2011 and 2012 Junior National competitor is excited to join the Huskers.
"I am now part of the Cornhusker family and couldn't be happier," said Gollott.
- 2012 Visa Championships - Floor
- 2012 Visa Championships - High Bar
- 2012 Visa Championships - Parallel Bars
- 2012 Visa Championships - Vault
- 2012 Visa Championships - Pommel Horse
- 2012 Visa Championships - Rings
Castro joins NU from Pinecrest, Fla., and hopes to make an immediate impact on Nebraska's all around lineup. He was a member of the 2011 Region 8 team, which claimed second place at the 2011 Junior Olympic Nationals. He has competed in the JO Nationals from 2010 to 2012 and was a member of the Florida State team at Region 8 Championships every year since 2009. Castro has received USA Gymnastics Academic All-American honors in 2011 and 2012.

Bracketology 101's Field of 65 - Feb. 23
Just a couple of weeks ago, we could never have imagined both Notre Dame and Wisconsin playing their way back into the bracket, but that is exactly what has happened. The Irish picked up a huge road win over the weekend against Providence and ended up taking the Friars' bid. We are expecting the Irish to be able to win out at home, which would include a win over Villanova, which would get them to 9-9 and put them in the best shape of all the Big East bubble teams. Penn State also made its way back into the bracket after their ugly win at Illinois. The Nittany Lions have now beaten the top three teams in the Big Ten, and seven bids out of the Big Ten seems possible. Things still need to break right for the league, though, since four of the seven bids are an 8 seed or worse, and each of these teams could easily play their way out.
We once again downgraded the MWC to two teams. The top teams in the league beat up on each other a bit in the past week and this trend will likely continue given each team's upcoming schedule. At this point we think that it is more likely that the MWC will end up with two bids than three (four bids is insane.) New Mexico has really hurt the conference's chances of getting three bids. They have beaten all three bubble teams at the Pit, but have no chance at an at-large because of their bad losses OOC. The best chance for the conference to get three bids is to have Utah slip up and to have BYU or SDSU go on a run and share the conference title with the Utes. That would put the two teams who split the regular season crown in good shape, and UNLV should be able to at least get to the tourney championship game on their home court and earn a bid as well.

Notre Dame!!!???? no way they should be in, I realize Michigan lost but they arent deserving as a final 8 out??? along with Anyone of those final 8 deserve a bid over Notre Dame.
- Lee said...
Is the Big Ten/ACC challenge something you all look at? I find it hard to beleive .500 in the league that loses this challenge every year is worth the same as .500 in the league that wins it. I know it's a team by team thing but I guess I just don't see how you can say the Big Ten is as strong a league as the ACC from top to bottom with the ACC beating them down head to head for 8 (however old the challenge is) straight years now.
There is absolutely NO reason to believe Notre Dame can beat Villanova at home. Its more likely that Villanova's red hot offense will run ND out of their own gym. Its not even like they won a lot of good games, other than beat Texas in Maui, they haven't beaten anyone. I don't think the selection committee will give this team a bid just because of Luke Harangody.
Lee, what makes you think the ACC bubble teams will even finish .500? Maryland might have beaten UNC, but they still have to play Duke and Wake Forest. VT still has to play all the top teams, and an FSU team on the road that beat them at home. Miami can get to .500 by sweeping GT, NCSt, and UVa, but even that's not guaranteed.
What I take offense to the most is Kansas State. Seriously? Who have they beaten? Not Kansas, they lost at home. But hey, at least their next game was vs. North Carolina Central so Clemente could serve his "suspension".
- Paymon said...
You're picking Temple as the A-10 automatic bid, right?
I back the ND pick. They have a real shot at 9-9 in the Big East which puts them in no questions asked.
Lastly, I think the MWC gets a third team in the mix, assuming UNLV takes the automatic bid. Agree to disagree.
Solid work per usual.
- Bracketology 101 said...
Keep in mind we don't do the bracket as if the season ended today. If we did it that way, Michigan would probably be last four out, but with the schedule they have remaining we just don't like their chances.
- Lee said...
Well VT certainly crapped the bed but I think that either MD or Miami or both will make it to 8-8. If either of them don't they will need 2 ACC tourney wins which would mean a second round win over one of the top 4. Of course I would consider an argument that 7-9 in the ACC and an ACC tourney win is better than 8-8 in the Big Ten. MD is 2-0 in the Big Ten this year...
Anonymous, Kansas State fans are hanging their hats on their win at Texas, which does look a little more impressive after last night.
- Bracketology 101 said...
Quick hits...
Temple is in as the A-10 automatic.
We aren't completely sold on Kansas State either, but the Wildcats are in better shape right now than the teams we have on the Last Four Out and Next Four Out list are. They have three nice Big XII road wins on their resume (Missouri, Texas, Texas A&M) and two of those wins (Texas and A&M) came on the road. If they can win one of their two remaining road games (they play at Missouri and at Oklahoma State), they should finish 10-6 in conference, which will get them a bid. Losses in both of those games and they will be on the outside looking in.
- Brian said...
How far back on the radar would a win by Georgetown tonight put them?
Couple Big 10 questions
How in the world is Ohio State still locked in as a 9 seed, when they have lost 3 in a row? Also Michigan not being in the next 8 out is a crime one bad loss at Iowa, but if they can beat Purdue they will need to win only one of their two remaining games to get to 9-9. You would think a 9-9 Michigan would fair better than a PSU team at 10-8. Notre Dame is 14-11? and in the field. Please explain B101
"I back the ND pick. They have a real shot at 9-9 in the Big East which puts them in no questions asked"
Does 8-8 in the ACC put a team in, no questions asked? Becasue 4 teams are guaranteed 8-8, Wake just has to win one of UVA, NCSU, and Maryland, BC can clinch their 8 wins against either NCSU or GT, Plus they have FSU at home, Maryland, even if they dont beat duke or wake, has NCSU and UVA on the schedule, and beating those would put them at 8-8, Va tech has virtually no shot at 8-8, as its more likely theyll lose out than win out, Miami could easily run off 3 straight against the worst teams in the conference, and even NC st has an outside shot, with 3 "easy" games coming up in the last 4, If 8 teams make 8-8, will they all get in?
Will 9-9 for Notre Dame really get them in the dance? They only have 1 good conference win, against L'ville, and a win over texas which originally looked huge, but now is only so-so, other than that, syracuse, uconn, pitt, ucla, and unc all blew them out, they dont seem to be a strong team, despite the big names
Seriously, the media's love for Notre Dame is sickening. They're currently #72 in the RPI and #39 in SOS. They're 3-9 vs. the top 50 and 4-10 vs. the Top 100. Their only true road wins are against #76 Providence, #189, and #318 Loyola-Marymount.
How does any of that translate to 17-12 (9-9) being good enough to get them in?
You are right 17-12 would be sickening if a team like Maryland/Michigan would go 19-12 and and .500 in league play and get passed by Notre Dame would be a crime. Notre Dame sucks.

Finally, FSU is nationally ranked in both polls and is a 5 seed or higher in all the major bracke projections... even Lunardi has them at #4 now. I've been screaming about this all season. Kudos to Bracketology 101 for being ahead of the curve.
Here's a rant that took the words right out of my mouth about FSU... http://tinyurl.com/bh379d
The problem with Judolphin's article is the attack on duke, who has been one of the top programs in the country over the last 15 years... WVU and duke are only comparable in Tourney performance, which has no influence on tourney seeding... Consider the following... Heading into the Tourney
Duke 24-6 11-5 3 top 25 wins (UM, UCLA, WF) 3 seed in tourney
FSU 13-14 (4-12) 1 top 25 win (H #5 Duke)Left out of tourney
WVU 14-15 4-12 1 top 25 win (UF)Left out
Everything seems right there, Except duke, the ACC tourney champions, might have been a bit underseeded...
Duke 27-5 13-3 9 top 25 wins(!) 1 seed
FSU 18-13 6-10 4 top 25 wins Left out
WVU 15-13 6-10 0 top 25 wins
Everything seems good there
Duke 25-5 11-5 ACC tour Champs 2 top 25 wins 1 seed
FSU 12-19 4-12 left out
WVU 21-10 8-8 2 wins over top 25 7 seed
Everything still seems ok here, WVU did extremely well in the tournament, but very well may have been overseeded as a 7 with just 2 quality wins, and 10 losses...
Will finish statistical analysis later...

More quick hits...
A win over Louisville would get Georgetown onto the Next Four Out list, but it won't be nearly enough to get them a bid. The Hoyas need to win out and finish 9-9 if they want to get in.
As far as Notre Dame goes, we know that their resume at the moment does not look that pretty, and if we did our bracket based on the season ending today, the Irish definitely wouldn't get a bid. The fact that they are even in the discussion right now just goes to show how weak the bubble is this year. Looking ahead, though, (as we do in our bracket), ND has a very good chance of finishing 9-9, and if they do, they would have quality conference wins over Louisville, Providence (on the road) and either UConn or Villanova, depending on who they beat down the stretch. As long as they get to 9-9 and make the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament, they should be fine. A trip to the semis would make them a lock.
We've already had several comments today about the Big Ten bubble and about Michigan in particular. Just like we do with every bubble team, we projected what we thought Michigan would do down the stretch and it's harder to get them to 9-9 than it is to get Notre Dame to 9-9. The Wolverines are only 2-5 in Big Ten road games this season, and those wins came at Indiana and at Northwestern. There is a very, very good chance they lose at Wisconsin and at Minnesota to close out the season. The Badgers have beaten both Illinois and Ohio State at home in recent weeks,and while Minnesota has struggled lately, they have played pretty well at home this season. We can't assume that Michigan will beat Purdue at home, either. The Boilermakers have won five in a row and 10 out of their last 12. We consider these future results when we do our Field of 65 and that's why we can't put the Wolverines in.
If Michigan (somehow) steps up and does get to 9-9, they will be right in the discussion for a bid entering the Big Ten tournament. If they come out of the Big Ten tourney with the league's seventh best resume (over Penn State), they'll be dancing.
We included Maryland this week not only beacuse of their win over Carolina, but because we think they can beat Duke or Wake at home over the next two weeks and finish 8-8 in conference. Those wins, combined with what they did OOC, should get them a bid provided they don't flame out in their first game of the ACC tourney.

OK, as a admittedly fair-weather Dayton Flyer fan, I'm getting nervous.
What do they need to do to guarantee themselves a spot in the NCAAs? Their remaining schedule is tough: @ RI, home v Temple, and @ X.
It is conceivable they lose all 3. If they do, and then get to the semis in the A-10 tourney, is it enough?
(And do you see any scenario where the A-10 gets 4 in - X, Dayton, Temple, and RI?)

Anonymous #7, the point of the column was that polls and tournament selection should not be a historical comparison: it's a seasonal comparison. And I'm pretty certain you're arguing against a straw man -- no one is arguing the 12-19 2004-2005 Seminoles should have made the NCAA tournament.
And their records since 2003: 18-13, 12-19, 19-9, 20-12, 19-14. Consistently on the bubble, 4 out of 5 years.
- Bracketology 101 said...
First off, there is no way the A-10 gets four bids. Given Dayton's recent road woes the chances are good that they drop both of their remaining road games. If they also dropped the home game to Temple then they would finish no better than 10-6 or 4th place in conference. They would be in big trouble at this point with Temple definitely being ahead of them in the pecking order and possibly URI as well. A trip to the conference final would probably be required at that point to give them a good shot at a bid.
Duke 30-3 14-2 ACC Tourney Champs #1 seed
FSU 19-9 9-7 win over #1 duke Left out
WVU 20-10 11-5 6 seed in tourney...
This almost completely disproves that guys point, as WVU and FSU seem to have similar resumes, although the site i am using doesnt give me rankings for that season's victories, FSU was above .500 in the top conference, and had a great win in duke, and still got out, whereas WVU had 10 losses and was a 6 seed, something that is unheard of... Duke was well seeded
Duke 22-10 8-8 4 wins over top 25 teams 6 seed
FSU 20-12 7-9 3 top 25 teams (including defending and eventual champion florida, and duke) Left out
WVU 22-9 9-7 2 wins over top 25 teams... Left out
Here is where the argument starts, i believe... However, duke had a OOC schedule that included Indiana(last season they were good, with DJ white and eric gordon) Marquette, Davidson, GT, and gonzaga, whereas WVU played teams such as the Citadel, Duquesne, and a school called "Slippery rock" Duke very obviously had the better resume by leaps and bounds, and to me, WVU did not deserve a birth, going 1-8 on the road... Note that 2005 WVU and 2006 Duke are very similar
Duke 27-5 13-3 5 top25 wins including #5 wisconsin, at #1 UNC 2 seed in tourney
FSU 19-14 7-9 1 win over top 25
WVU 24-10 11-7 3 top 25 wins 7 seed
In conclusion, this guy was wrong, the name means nothing, and all teams, for the most part, are treated equally...
- judolphin said...
Good points, Anonymous... the common thread is apparently that FSU gets screwed over ;) Hopefully for me that won't happen this year.
- judolphin said...
By the way -- I'm from Pittsburgh. Morgantown is a little over an hour drive away. Duquense is in Pittsburgh and Slippery Rock is very closeby. So WVU really shouldn't be penalized for playing local mid-major schools, especially since the Big East in-conference schedule is so brutal. Just my opinion.
Slippery rock is Division 2, doesnt actually count as mid-major, not even low major, and come on, they played two valid games OOC that year, (Arkansas and NCSU) and the rest were games designed to pad the record with little resistance
Rock chalk Jayhawk! I think that tonight's victory, coupled with a trip to the Big 12 championship game (I really don't think that KU has much of a chance with the tournament played in Oklahoma City), puts us in the driver's seat for a possible #2 seed.
- judolphin said...
You make soe good points and you're correct on Slippery Rock. Are non-D1 games even counted in the standings you're looking at? They often are not.
The site does count the game as a victory for WVU, although it does appear that the game did not count towards slippery rocks record, as, apparently, D2 schools get 2 exhibition games a year that dont count to their record, and slippery used that game, and a later one against Cleveland State
It's Binghamton, not Binghamtom or Binghampton. Thanks ;)
I think Auburn should get in winning 6 of their last 7 games, all wins were in a route making them 19-10 (8-6). I don't think Tenn should go, Auburn did beat them and deserve the spot over them.If they beat LSU next week they should get an invite over Tenn.

Jennifer Klemp is the founder and chief executive officer of Cancer Survivorship Training as well an assistant professor of medicine, division of clinical oncology and director of cancer survivorship at the University of Kansas Medical Center Cancer Center. She is also a Leavenworth High School graduate and will be speaking at the 12th annual Leavenworth Public Schools Education Foundation Breakfast at 7 a.m. March 5 in the gymnasium at Leavenworth High School.
1) You will be coming back to Leavenworth High School March 5 as the speaker for the Leavenworth Public School Foundation's annual breakfast. How does it feel to be coming back?
I am very honored to come back to the Leavenworth Public School Foundation's Annual Breakfast. I think it is important for a community to see the results of their commitment to students and how this can pay off in the short and long term.
2) What inspired you to pursue a career in medicine, and then to focus on cancer research?
I have always been interested in science — influenced by my mother (who is a biology teacher) and spending our formative years growing up on a farm outside of Leavenworth. As with many pivotal moments in life, experiences can lead you down an uncharted path. This was how I became interested in cancer research 17 years ago — from my own experience as a caregiver for my mother when she was undergoing cancer treatment. This first hand experience resulted in my interest and drive to improve the lives of cancer survivors through clinical research.
3) You recently helped launch a startup company aimed at training medical professionals to be able to provide cancer survivorship services. How did that idea develop?
When I see a problem, I want to fix it! With a growing number of cancer survivors (over 14 million today) and changes in national standards mandating the delivery of survivorship care planning by 2015, there is a growing need to educate health care providers how to on care for cancer survivors. As the director of cancer survivorship at the National Cancer Institute designated University of Kansas Cancer Center, we opened the Breast Cancer Survivorship Center in 2006. As an early adapter, we became a model for the delivery of survivorship care across the country. In order to increase the ability for specialists, primary care providers, and cancer support staff to deliver personalized care to cancer survivors, Cancer Survivorship Training, Inc., was built to accelerate access to evidence based continuing education for providers across the country.
4) How did your experience in the Leavenworth schools shape your own path in life?
The Leavenworth public schools provided me with a rich environment to grow and excel in academics, sports, and leadership. The diverse student body and involved faculty, administrators, and parents, were key elements in evolving into well-rounded professional.
5) What advice would you give to those students currently in the Leavenworth schools?
A key element to success is to find something you love or really like doing and stick with it! The path to success is not always an easy one, so set goals — try and possibly fail and then try again — you learn far more from disappointment and challenges than successes. When you look back you will see a path, but it may not be evident along you journey, so do not give up but keep moving forward and believe in yourself and your vision.

Fieldcrest wins regional contest
When some Knights were having trouble finding their range Jackson Puetz stepped up with a scoring punch for Fieldcrest during the McLean County Tournament a few weeks ago.
When the Knights were off their marks Tuesday, it was Puetz who came to the rescue again, this time in a 56-43 victory over Peoria Christian at the Class 2A Eureka Regional.
"Jackson did a great job. He's a big-game shooter," FHS head coach Matt Winkler said.
Fieldcrest's shooting was not sharp, especially early. But there was no panic. All it took was Puetz to come off the bench and knock down a few shots for the Knights to get going.
Puetz scored Fieldcrest's first points on a pull-up jumper with four minutes to go in the first quarter. This came after the Chargers had built a 9-0 lead.
Christian still took advantage of the Knights' poor shooting by building a 14-2 advantage in the final minute of the opening frame. It was a 14-5 game when the quarter ended.
"They played well coming out of the shoot and we didn't," Winkler said.
Puetz buried a couple of 3-pointers early in the second period as Fieldcrest began its comeback climb. Puetz's second triple cut the Chargers' deficit to 18-13.
"We had some good looks we just didn't him early until Jackson started hitting," Winkler said.
Freshman Drew Barth contributed to the rally with six straight FHS points as the deficit narrowed to 21-19 with 3:24 left in the half.
Barth's final basket of the first half came as time ran out to give the Knights their first lead of the game.
All the while, stars Brady Sanders and Kyle Crowley were not hitting. Neither was Cole Klendworth, who was being hassled inside and not getting much to go.
Crowley made his first basket in the last minute of the first half. Sanders didn't score until he made two free throws three minutes into the third quarter.
But the Knights had some momentum and Puetz. The Chargers led 33-29 after three lead changes in the third quarter, but baskets by Nick Panzica and Puetz tied it at 33-33 with 3:23 left.
Puetz was sitting in the corner when Sanders found him for a 3-pointer to put the Knights ahead 36-33. It was part of what became a 22-point run that pretty much put the game away for Fieldcrest.
Puetz added another 3-pointer from the other side and Sanders added his first field goal as FHS had a 41-33 lead heading into the last stanza.
Crowley contributed to the run with a pair of baskets and a free throw in the first 34 seconds of the fourth quarter. He added another basket to cap the huge run and give the Knights a 51-33 advantage.
All of Fieldcrest's scoring in the fourth quarter came from Crowley and Sanders.
Puetz finished with 16 points and Sanders added 12 for the Knights (23-5). Crowley and Barth scored 9 points apiece.
Andrew Gavin had 10 points for Peoria Christian.

I have been thinking about this for a while and well now I thought I would see what everyone thinks. I think we need to move Todd Haley to OC and bring back Herm Edwards to coach this team. Now here me out. With Herm and Romeo working together the defense will be one of the best in the league. And Haley is great with the offense. Herm would give the pregame pep talk to get the players pumped up to go out there and play. It's a win win for this team. Thoughts?
If you can't tell

Right to Life March in D.C. deserved media attention
Right to Life March in D.C. deserved media attention
To the editor,
My wife and I returned very early on Saturday morning, Jan. 26, from the Right To Life March that took place Friday, Jan. 25, in Washington, D.C. We traveled from Adrian with a group of people on a bus that was sponsored by the youth group at St. Joseph Catholic Church. This was not an all Catholic group. A number of people on that bus were not Catholic, but I do know that all on that bus, including the many youth and a number of middle agers, have strong religious and moral convictions that abortion is wrong. Convictions strong enough to travel for 20-plus hours for two nights on a bus, convictions strong enough to give up a warm bed and sleep, convictions strong enough to stand and march in the cold and driving snow, conviction strong enough to walk miles to show their support for the unborn, and conviction strong enough to let the world know that there are people in this country that believe in standing up and being counted among those who believe that the unborn does have a basic Right to Life!
I am writing this because I was not able to find one word about this March for Life, that was attended by an estimated 650,000 people, reported in The Daily Telegram on Saturday, the day after the March. Needless to say I was frustrated and disappointed to not find national news of significant importance to many of your readers in our local community, as there were numerous busloads there from southern Michigan. Then on Sunday the story appeared on Page 3! In communication with your editors, I learned that the Associated Press feeds, that many local papers rely on for national news stories, made no mention of this story in time for publication before Sunday. I do understand that this is out of your control, however I believe it is sad that the Associated Press has the power to pick and choose what stories are important to your readers, and that they can delay "front page news" long enough to have it relegated to the third page.
Thank you and your staff for allowing us readers a little better understanding of who controls what you read in this country.
Jim Olszewski

It is not unusual in the mountains to have winter finally give way to summer with hardly a day of spring in between. The mountains are never more beautiful than they are in June.
It seems like everything turns green overnight from grassy meadows to new aspen leaves; even the new growth on pines, spruces and Douglas fir are green. The ponderosa pines that have appeared almost black all winter are washed clean by the spring rains and new growth is starting at every branch tip. They suddenly appear to be alive and they are in bloom.

Sponsored by Tennis (women)
The Luther women's tennis team continued its challenging spring schedule with a match against St. Olaf on Friday, March 15 at the Owatonna Indoor Tennis Center in Owatonna, Minn. The Norse rallied to grab an early lead in doubles before the Oles came back to win four of the six singles matches, earning a 5-4 victory over Luther.
St. Olaf jumped out to quick leads at all three doubles positions, going ahead 4-1 with two breaks at No. 1, 3-1 with one break at No. 2, and 3-1 with one break at No. 3. Katy Lindstrom and Annie Whiteley kept fighting, but ended up on the short end of an (8-5) result to Kristi Kroker and Maya MacGibbon at No. 2, giving the Oles an early 1-0 advantage. Elise Allen and Maggie Helms made a big comeback at No. 1, taking a 5-4 lead by winning four straight games. The Norse duo came through with another service break in the final game of the match, picking up an (8-6) victory over Alisa Hall and Julia Ellis. Lola White-Baer and Hailey Johnson broke right back at No. 3 after going down 3-1 and later added another service break on the way to an (8-5) win over Caitlin Owsley and Andrea Jumes.
The match was tied up again at 2-2 after St. Olaf won at No. 2 singles. Whiteley made a late run at No. 5 before falling (6-0, 6-4) to Bailey Kent, putting the Oles back in front, 3-2. Allen battled at No. 1 against Hall with Hall pulling away in the second set for a (6-4, 6-1) victory.
Trailing 4-2, the Norse needed wins in the final three matches to pull out the team victory. Jenna Myers kept the Norse in it with a (6-4, 6-2) victory over Erin Hynes at No. 6. Lindstrom then leveled the match at 4-4 with an impressive (6-3, 6-3) win against MacGibbon at No. 4. Helms and Kroker went back and forth at No. 3 with Kroker finally edging out Helms for a (6-4, 6-3) win to clinch the match.
The Norse are now 10-4 overall this season. The team will resume competition in Orlando, Fla., on the squad's annual spring trip March 25-29.

Gov. Deval L. Patrick, in his State of the State address Wednesday night, called for a major hike in the state income tax rate and a cut in the sales tax to support up to $2 billion in new revenue. The plan would raise the state income tax rate from 5.25 to 6.25 percent and lower the sales tax from 6.25 to 4.50 percent — one of the largest state tax increases in decades.
Gov. Deval L. Patrick, in his State of the State address Wednesday night, called for a major hike in the state income tax rate and a cut in the sales tax to support up to $2 billion in new revenue.
The plan would raise the state income tax rate from 5.25 to 6.25 percent and lower the sales tax from 6.25 to 4.50 percent — one of the largest state tax increases in decades.
Speaking to a joint session of the Legislature, the governor acknowledged that few want to pay more, but argued the state's economic future and the education and success of the next generation could depend on it.
"There is no good time to raise taxes. I know how tough the times have been on the people and families of the commonwealth," Mr. Patrick said. "Though the worst of the recession is over, many families still face tough decisions and have deep anxiety about the future. I would not ask if I did not believe in my heart that investing meaningfully today in education and transportation will significantly improve our economic future."
The governor said the tax changes would result in a more fair and comprehensive tax, and that any new revenue must be fair, dedicated to specific uses, and competitive with other states in the region.
Under his plan, all sales taxes from the lowered 4.25 rate would be dedicated to transportation, the state school building fund and other infrastructure projects.
To make the income tax increase "fair to all according to their ability to pay," the governor is proposing doubling personal exemptions for all taxpayers and eliminating a number of tax deductions currently allowed.
"There will be debate. I encourage it. Every one of us has to think twice before asking people who feel strapped to contribute a little more," Mr. Patrick said. "But this time instead of sinking into the same old slogans, let's have a serious, fact-based debate. The people we work for want schools I have described; they want rail and road services we have laid out; and above all they want the opportunity and growth these investments will bring."Republican legislative leaders were critical of the proposals, but did not rule out additional revenues altogether.
"I'm seriously concerned," said state Rep. George N. Peterson, R-Grafton, complaining that the governor is proposing billions in new transportation projects when the current system is not being well run. "I would support some additional revenue if we did a platform of reforms that we will outline."
State Rep. Paul Frost, R-Auburn, said he liked the sound of lowering the sales tax but, "the part about raising the income tax is of some concern. If we raise the income tax and take more out of people's paychecks, that's less they can spend in the economy," Mr. Frost said. "I think it would hurt more than help the economy."
Democratic leaders meanwhile have so far been slow to engage in talk about higher taxes, but have been expecting debate over tax hikes for transportation.
Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Stephen M. Brewer, D-Barre, said it was very unlikely the governor's tax plan would get through the House and Senate as proposed, and that he expects the Legislature will spend many months studying the proposals before they act.
State Rep. Mary Keefe, D-Worcester, attending her first state of the state address since taking office this month, said she supports an income tax increase over raising the sales or gas tax or adding a variety of fees and other taxes to generate the funds she believes are needed to boost local aid and fund schools and other programs.
She said the income tax hike proposal offered by a coalition of community groups this week, and sponsored by state Rep. James J. O'Day, D-West Boylston, like the governor's proposal, would limit income tax increases for lower-income earners by raising personal deductions. That coalition, a group of 120 labor unions, community groups, mayors and nonprofit organizations, on Tuesday called for public support for up to $2 billion in tax increases to fund social programs, better schools and transportation systems.
At the start of his speech, the governor asked for a moment of reflection for the first-grade students, staff and teachers slain in the Newtown, Conn., massacre last month and "all those lost to gun violence in our neighborhoods here at home."
On education, Mr. Patrick said 20 years after state education reforms began, Massachusetts is "at the top of the nation in student achievement and at the top of the world in math and science."
But he said the achievement gap among lower-income and minority students persists, and that only 61 percent of third-graders are proficient in English language arts.
"For African-Americans, the number is 38 percent; for Hispanics 36 percent," he said, noting that 30,000 preschool-age children are on waiting lists for early education programs.
Earlier this week, the governor outlined proposals to increase education spending by $550 million next year to undertake a series of expanded educational programs that include universal access to high quality early education from birth through age five; fully fund K-12 education and extend school days in high-need schools and make college more affordable and accessible.
He has also proposed increasing transportation spending by as much as $1 billion annually to cover annual deficits in the MBTA subway and bus system and to pay for large transportation projects, including expansion of the MBTA Green Line, and extension of commuter rail service to Springfield and New Bedford. He also proposed more funding for regional bus services including $11 million in new funding for the Worcester Regional Transit Authority.
"Imagine if the Green Line ran to Medford and the commuter rail ran to Springfield and the Housatonic line was reopened between Pittsfield and New York. Imagine if you could drive at highway speeds the whole length of the Pike and let technology collect your tolls," the governor said of his hopes to upgrade the states roads and transit systems.
While a state transportation report listed a variety of potential sources for new revenue, from new tolls on Interstates 84, 93 or 95, steep gas tax hikes and higher tolls, and new carbon emission fees on motor vehicles, the governor did not endorse any of those in his address.
Without better funding for transportation, the governor said earlier, economic growth in greater Boston will slow while stalling out in other areas of the state.

This is a spin-off of another thread. I detached it because it was a bit off-topic over there and could be the beginning of another interesting discussion. Also, the original thread has already been marked [RESOLVED] so some people might miss it there.
My preference for overloads of the base class' On...() methods (if I already have a derived class anyway) may be a heritage from the MFC code I've written: It's pretty much the standard procedure there. Also, MSDN frequently states that overriding these methods is the preferred way to handle events in the "Notes to inheritors" section of the method documentation. I haven't found an example of the phrase on MSDN in a quick search, but IIRC it says (or at least means) that it's the preferred method if you already have a derived class. I think registering an event handler as a delegate with the base class from the derived class looks weird and not reasonable to me anyway.
The example of the button click handler you give seems to be well chosen. Unless the action to be triggered by the button is close to trivial, even in MFC the click event handler would most likely call out to some other code. And I think that, though the call to them is implemented in a much fancier way, the .NET event handlers are essentially nothing else than that code that gets called.
As already mentioned in the original thread, I have recently written a demo project for another thread which contains a class that uses (resp. is used with) a combination of both base class method overrides and event handlers. I didn't actually post the code in the other thread because it was for a homework assignment, but that was almost a month ago and so I think the homework has already been handed in in the meantime anyway. So I think I can post the code here and now as a basis for discussion.
The thread the code originally was written for contains additional discussion about the code and in particular the description of the objective of the assignment in post #1.
The code generates a draggable shape on the form in response to a button click. The shape gets destroyed when it itself is right-clicked. The shape in question is a pentagram and what's going on inside the class that draws it isn't really spectacular and doesn't matter here. So I'll just post the .h file declaring that class' interface:
The class that implements the actual draggable shape on the form (by using the Pentagram class above) is derived from PictureBox and is called PentagramBox:Code:// Pentagram.h #pragma once using namespace System; using namespace System::Drawing; namespace Test7 { public ref class Pentagram { public: Pentagram(Point location, float radius) : m_location(location), m_radius(radius) {} void SetLocation(Point location); void Draw(Graphics ^gr); private: Point m_location; float m_radius; private: Pentagram() {} // Disable default construction }; }
Code:// PentagramBox.h #pragma once #include "Pentagram.h" namespace Test7 { using namespace System; using namespace System::Windows; using namespace System::Windows::Forms; using namespace System::Drawing; public ref class PentagramBox : public PictureBox { public: PentagramBox(Control ^parent, Rectangle bounds); protected: virtual void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs ^pe) override; virtual void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs ^e) override; virtual void OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs ^e) override; virtual void OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs ^e) override; private: Pentagram ^pent; bool dragging; Point lastmousepos; private: PentagramBox() {} // Disable default construction }; }You see, almost all aspects of mouse handling are done inside the class itself which provides better encapsulation. Only the right-click that destroys the draggable shape is handled in an event handler inside the form class. These are the form class' event handlers:Code:// PentagramBox.cpp #include "StdAfx.h" #include "PentagramBox.h" using namespace Test7; PentagramBox::PentagramBox(Control ^parent, Rectangle bounds) { Parent = parent; Bounds = bounds; pent = gcnew Pentagram(Point(bounds.Width / 2, bounds.Height / 2), Math::Min(bounds.Width / 2, bounds.Height / 2)); dragging = false; } void PentagramBox::OnPaint(PaintEventArgs ^pe) { __super::OnPaint(pe); pent->Draw(pe->Graphics); } void PentagramBox::OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs ^e) { if (e->Button == Forms::MouseButtons::Left) { dragging = true; lastmousepos = e->Location; } __super::OnMouseDown(e); } void PentagramBox::OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs ^e) { if (e->Button == Forms::MouseButtons::Left) dragging = false; __super::OnMouseUp(e); } void PentagramBox::OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs ^e) { if (dragging) { Drawing::Size movevect(e->Location.X - lastmousepos.X, e->Location.Y - lastmousepos.Y); Location += movevect; } __super::OnMouseMove(e); }
I handled that single mouse action differently because I don't feel comfortable with self-destroying objects. And even what I actually did here looks suspicious: Doesn't the event handler return to something that has already been destroyed? Probably .NET's lazy destruction and the fact that tracking handles are reference counted saved my day here. Think I better shouldn't try that in native C++...Code:// Form1.cpp #include "stdafx.h" #include "Form1.h" using namespace Test7; System::Void Form1::bnCreateShape_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) { pentbox = gcnew PentagramBox(this, Rectangle(10, 10, 42, 42)); pentbox->MouseClick += gcnew MouseEventHandler(this, &Form1::pentbox_MouseClick); bnCreateShape->Enabled = false; } void Form1::pentbox_MouseClick(Object ^sender, MouseEventArgs ^e) { if (e->Button == Forms::MouseButtons::Right) { delete pentbox; pentbox = nullptr; bnCreateShape->Enabled = true; } }
Another reason for handling it that way, aside from being reluctant about self-destroying objets, is that the event handler also manipulates form class members that are not visible to the PentagramBox class.
Any thoughts?
I also have attached the complete project (VS 2010) to this post. Unlike the ZIP file, the project inside is named Test7, but I already have uploaded a Test7.zip in another thread, and though uploading files with the same name to different threads would even work, I wanted to make sure to avoid confusion. Of course that project also contains the code files I didn't post here.

Women senators rally for Murphy
Hartford — The rival campaigns for U.S. Senate opened new assaults Tuesday in their heated battle for the women's vote.
Three Democratic senators visited Connecticut for a "Women for Murphy" afternoon rally at a park near the state Capitol. The trio was Sens. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Barbara Mikulski of Maryland, the longest-serving woman in Congress.
"Linda proves the point that just because you wear lipstick and high heels doesn't necessarily make you a women's rights advocate," Mikulski, still fiery at 76, told the estimated crowd of 150.
"Against Blumenthal she ran as Darth Vader," Mikulski added. "Now she's reinvented herself somewhere between Ann Romney and Oprah, but we know the real Linda McMahon."
Meanwhile, McMahon, a Republican, unveiled two new television ads to counter Democrats' portrayal of Murphy as the pro-woman candidate in the race.
The campaign ads accuse Murphy of exacerbating the "gender pay gap" by compensating the men in his office about 50 percent more than the women. The TV spots also mention a 2006 episode when Murphy, then a state senator and a chairman of the General Assembly's Public Health Committee, allowed a bill to expire in committee that would have required church-affiliated hospitals to provide emergency contraception to rape victims.
According to Murphy's campaign, the ads draw unfair conclusions because the congressman has a small pool of office workers and the $144,000 annual salary of his male chief of staff last year skews the averages.
The state bill that concerned church-affiliated hospitals and the morning-after pill passed the legislature and became law the following year, after Murphy left for Congress.
The failed 2006 bill recently was highlighted in a Connecticut Post story that quoted supporters of the legislation who attributed its lack of success that year to bipartisan opposition among Catholics on the public health committee. But some Republicans faulted Murphy for not pushing hard enough.
The Democratic women at Tuesday's rally called McMahon a threat to women's health care and abortion rights. They disputed her self-portrayal as a pro-choice candidate and denounced her desire to "repeal and replace" Obamacare.
They cited her support for the Blunt amendment, a Republican proposal that would have allowed employers with moral objections to deny contraception coverage to employees.
McMahon says she is indeed pro-choice on abortion rights and supports access to birth control.
She describes both her support for the Blunt amendment and her opposition to the state law requiring church-affiliated hospitals to dispense morning-after pills as "about religious freedom, over-regulation of businesses and the government imposing its will on individual citizens."
"I clearly am not in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade," McMahon said this month in response to a question on whether she would confirm a U.S. Supreme Court nominee who might vote to overturn the landmark abortion ruling.
"I would hope that any Supreme Court justice that's brought up for confirmation, there wouldn't be a litmus test on one issue," McMahon said. "Supreme Court justices are going to vote on many issues. I would like to sit down with them, I want to understand what their policies are."
Joining the three out-of-state senators at Tuesday's rally were Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman, U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-3rd District, Connecticut First Lady Cathy Malloy and Susan Bysiewicz, the former secretary of the state who lost to Murphy in this summer's Democratic primary.
"It's not just her — it is her party," DeLauro said of McMahon. Republicans nationwide, DeLauro said, "have been working to push women back into traditional roles and accelerate the race to the bottom."
The two male speakers were Murphy and U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.,who defeated McMahon in the 2010.
"I want to be able to tell my two sons when they grow up that their wife is going to be able to bring home a paycheck that reflects the value of her work, not her gender," Murphy said. "I want to be able to tell my two sons that if you spend your life making money off of demeaning women, off of exploiting domestic violence, that you don't get rewarded with a seat in the United States Senate."
McMahon's campaign soon fired back and called Murphy a hypocrite.
"Congressman Murphy has failed to stand with victims of rape, instead choosing to advance his political career," Corry Bliss, McMahon's campaign manager, said in a statement.
"(He) used taxpayer money to exacerbate the gender pay gap by paying women 50 percent less than men working in his congressional office."
Murphy dismissed McMahon's counter claims as lies.
Recent opinion polls show the Senate race as a statistical tie or give Murphy a slight lead. Most polls show him leading among likely women voters with McMahon holding an edge with men.
A new Quinnipiac University poll is scheduled for release this morning.

STOCKTON - In a third and final ruling issued Friday, a judge told former Stockton mayoral candidate Ralph Lee White that there exists no legal reason for enforcing term limits by White's reading of the city charter.
STOCKTON - In a third and final ruling issued Friday, a judge told former Stockton mayoral candidate Ralph Lee White that there exists no legal reason for enforcing term limits by White's reading of the city charter.
Ironically, the charter's lack of clarity - which White pointed to as problematic for then-Mayor Ann Johnston, his former opponent - formed the basis of the ruling.
San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge Lesley Holland found that for him to side with White and limit Johnston's, or anyone's, right to seek city office, the charter would have to forbid it in no uncertain terms.
"I can't say you're wrong," Holland told White. "I think it's ambiguous. It's open to interpretation. In that instance, the law says I favor the city."
After the hearing, White vowed to take his case next to the state's 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento, where he said the taint of Stockton politics will be stripped away.
White first brought the city and Johnston to court last year, when the two candidates were in a crowded race for mayor, an office Anthony Silva ultimately captured in November's election.
As a watchdog of the city charter, White cited Section 606 for making Johnston an ineligible candidate. She had served two terms on the council and sought her second term as mayor, for a potential total of four terms.
The charter says: "No person elected as either Mayor or Councilmember shall be eligible to serve, or serve, as either Mayor or Councilmember for more than two (2) terms ... "
White all along argued that this was written to limit a person to serve no more than two terms total at City Hall. His persistence may have been a factor leading to Johnston's defeat.
White said he continues to seek clarity despite her ouster. He feared that the charter's poorly worded section leaves open the possibility that somebody could serve two terms as mayor and then seek two terms on the council or vice versa.
White has been relentless. Holland early last year issued two tentative rulings before this one telling White that Johnston could seek another term, as the city argued.
The city then filed for bankruptcy in June, telling White that his suit was suspended among a long list of litigants. White convinced the federal bankruptcy judge in a personal appeal to let him proceed with his case.
In Friday's hearing, White returned to the Stockton courtroom, taking a seat at the table, arguing on his own behalf against a lineup of seasoned attorneys hired by the city, Johnston and the county's registrar of voters.
"There is nothing vague and ambiguous," White said of the charter. "That vague and ambiguous (argument) won't fly. It won't even meet the smell test."
He objected to other attorneys and told the judge his first two rulings were wrong, which brought them back to court. As a taxpayer, White said he was offended by the city defending its reading of the charter enacted in 1986 by Measure C, instituting term limits. "The thing that bothers me the most, I'm paying the city attorneys to fight me on our measure, on a measure that was put on the ballot by the City Council," he said.
The ongoing fight has racked up approximately $100,000 in legal fees paid by the city and Johnston, when White said it could have been resolved last year by going back to a public vote.
Johnston was not in court, but her attorney, Thomas Keeling, represented her. Keeling said he found White's argument citing the cost "disingenuous in the extreme," because the city and Johnston had no choice but to respond to White's suit, he said.
"The defendants spent that money," Keeling said. "They had to."
