Code's testing grounds- a phrase that more often translates to "a quarantine zone for incomplete or in-progress code examples that probably don't behave correctly" than "a place for free experimentation and learning via trial-and-error." What can we say? Sometimes coding is a dirty job. If you're posting in here, all we ask is that you be sure not to break anything.

Biology and biochemistry students have won a national award for an original video that teaches elementary schoolchildren about germs.
The Suffolk University students used a creative approach in responding to the "What is a Germ?" Challenge from the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and their efforts brought home the 2013 award.
"Our goal was to make the video both fun and educational for elementary students," said junior Kyle Swerdlow. "We wanted them to learn and enjoy themselves at the same time."
The winning entry, "The Journey to the Germ," was submitted by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Undergraduate Affiliates Network chapter at Suffolk University.
The rules for the contest were simple: Use any format to explain what a germ is. More than 30 submissions were submitted from across the country, and the judges were Greater Boston elementary-school students. They scored each submission based on how much they learned about germs from the entry and whether or not it was interesting.
"One of the stipulations of the contest was that all material had to be original, so in addition to live filming, our students created Claymation videos to depict certain microbial processes," said Biology Professor Celeste Peterson, the faculty adviser on the project. "This turned out to be a great way for our students to learn the processes as well."
The Suffolk students' 7½-minute video describes how germs operate in different settings, explaining the difference between "good" germs and "bad" germs by sending viewers on a journey throughout the human body, navigated by host "Antibody Bob," portrayed by Swerdlow.
To punctuate their message, the students dressed up as life-size versions of rhinovirus, athlete's foot and the intestinal bacterium E. coli, explaining each germ's role in the development of ailments.
"After a lot of brainstorming, we wanted to make a video that gave a comprehensive and objective picture of what germs are, free from most of the scientific jargon," said senior Azul Pinochet-Barros. "Also, trying to put yourself in the mind-set of an eleven-year-old helps you to think outside the box, something that I think we all managed to do at the end of the day."
Swerdlow wrote the script outline, and then each student researched and wrote a part for his or her germ in preparation for the shoot in the University's Genetics Lab.
"We learned that teamwork was essential, from the people who made the animations to the person holding the camera," said Pinochet-Barros, who will enter the Ph.D. microbiology program at Cornell University in the fall. "With our tight schedules, we made the most of this experience by coordinating and working as an efficient team."
Swerdlow mentioned that collaborating as a group worked well because "we're all friends and share this special interest."
The Suffolk students received their award during the Cambridge Science Festival, held at MIT. Joining Swerdlow and Pinochet-Barros on the winning team were: seniors Georgeanna Morton and Kien Ngyuen, juniors Matthew Broulidakis and Randy Grimshaw, and sophomores Pauline Ngo and Tatjana Von Rosen.
"This contest challenged our students and they responded so well," said Peterson. "They were enthusiastic, clever, and had a lot of fun."

Leaf Removal
While leaf removal can seem like a never-ending chore during the fall months, ignoring leaf cleanup can lead to insect infestations and unhealthy grass in the spring. Removing leaves from your lawn provides the sunlight, nutrients and water it needs. Plus, leaves can provide some great uses in the garden.
If the amount of leaves on the grass is not too deep, consider running over them with a mulching lawn mower. Make a few passes over your yard in different directions. This breaks the leaves into small pieces that can easily decompose into the lawn. The organic matter will provide nutrients and help grass to survive the winter months.
If you have a smaller yard with deeper layers of leaves, rake them into piles and bag for pickup. However, a better use is shredding them for organic mulch in your flower beds and vegetable garden. Apply 2 to 3 inches of leaves to help the soil retain moisture, stay cool and limit weed germination. The leaves will also add nutrients to the soil as they break down over time.
Even a small yard can become overwhelming, and sometimes you'll need more than a rake to get the job done. For a smaller cleanup area, the TB180B Electric Leaf Blower is a perfect size, lightweight and easy to operate.
If it's a bigger cleanup job or a larger area you're looking to clear, try the TB4BP EC Backpack Gas Leaf Blower. With a compact backpack design and powerful airflow, it's designed to reduce user fatigue and is comfortable to carry for long periods of time. You can also eliminate pull starting with the JumpStart' Engine Starter, a cordless electric start adaptor. Providing up to 40 starts on a single charge, it features a rechargeable 12-volt lithium-ion battery and includes a battery charger.
After all the leaves have fallen and your cleanup work is finished, you may think you'll never want to see another leaf again. When spring rolls around, however, you might wish you had some brown materials to add to your compost pile. One solution is to keep a bag or two of leaves in your garage to save for composting in the spring. You'll be happy you kept a few leaves around.

MOSCOW (AP) — In the minutes after opposition leader Alexei Navalny was sentenced to prison, the Russian stock market took a dive. When a court released him a day later, share prices dropped markedly again.
Russia's legal system is awash in the uncertainty that makes markets nervous. The courts appear open to political manipulation and the laws sometimes resemble legalistic head-fakes — nominally enacted for enlightened reasons, but in practice applied to silencing dissent and inconvenient voices.
A look at some cases of the uneasy intersection of law and politics:
The merits of the embezzlement case against the energetic anti-corruption blogger and charismatic opposition figure were widely questioned and his conviction on Thursday was quickly criticized in the West as a political put-up job. Ironically, it was his release that seemed to be the clearest evidence of a political agenda.
The release was justified by the court on the grounds that keeping Navalny behind bars would deprive him of the right to pursue his campaign for this fall's Moscow mayoral election. By giving him at least temporary freedom Russia could bolster its claim that it does actually seek pluralism and full democracy, despite allegations that it's deliberately moving to authoritarianism.
Russian lawyers were suspicious, saying the release of Navalny on these grounds — and at the request of prosecutors — was unprecedented. Pavel Chikov, a lawyer who's a member of the presidential human rights council, went so far as to call it "nonsense."
"Most probably, this decision was dictated by political motives," he told the state news agency RIA Novosti.
Russia has laws promoting religious tolerance. Members of the country's most politically vehement punk band ended up in prison because of one.
Just before the 2012 election that returned Vladimir Putin to the Kremlin, the band barged into Moscow's main Orthodox cathedral to screech out a "punk prayer" against him.
The Russian Orthodox Church is so closely tied to the government that offending believers in essence becomes a political act. So the conviction of three band members on charges of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred superficially defended the sensitivities of the devout, but had a strong political taint. They were sentenced to two years in prison, though one has been released on parole.
Homosexuality was decriminalized in Russia in 1993, but gay activists' annual requests to hold marches routinely are banned on the grounds of public security. The argument is that animosity toward gays, especially among conservative Orthodox groups, remains so strong that any such march would provoke a violent reaction. When unauthorized march attempts take place, thugs do indeed start throwing punches within moments — but police appear more concerned about arresting the activists than holding back the attackers.
That may change, and not in gays' favor. The lower house of the national parliament has passed a measure calling for banning gay pride rallies outright.
In banning the adoption of Russian children by Americans last year, Russian lawmakers claimed they were protecting beloved tykes from abuse and death at the hands of adoptive parents whom U.S. authorities are too apathetic or disorganized to bring to justice. But the warmhearted concern came amid cold political fury.
The ban was part of a measure rushed through parliament in retaliation for a U.S. law allowing sanctions on Russians identified as human rights violators. Distress about the adoption ban overshadowed the more overtly political provisions of the Russian law, which also calls for the closure of non-governmental organizations receiving American funding, if their activities are classified as political.
It was seven decades ago that Nazi Germany fell to an offensive driven largely by the Red Army, but the war is still alive in Russia's official culture. Massive annual commemorations of the victory — and periodic equally elaborate observances of major battles such as Stalingrad — allow Russians to bathe in the pride of a great and grueling achievement.
Awkwardly, though, the commander-in-chief was one of history's most despised dictators, Josef Stalin. In the Putin years, Russia has significantly blurred that distinction to the point that referring to the Soviet army's brutality and its seizure of the Baltic states is seen as an insult to the modern state.
A bill making its way through parliament would criminalize criticism of Soviet actions during the war. In theory, that would defend the honor of those who sacrificed and suffered. In practice, it could protect those who rule in the present.

GPSolo Magazine - Oct/Nov 2003
Marketing: Going Deeper
Solos are like explorers of old who dared to go beyond the known edges of ancient maps, without any safe guide through uncharted waters, to the places inscribed only with the warning "Here Be Monsters." Come with me as we go deeper into the heart of marketing—into the mysterious process of forming relationships that will lead you to acquiring clients.
When big law firms market, they often are helped by their name, fancy offices, or connections. The solo attorney usually does not have these advantages, at least not to the extent of the larger firms. Here are my favorite secrets for helping solos establish relationships that lead to business.
Generic Marketing 101
You read a lot about marketing techniques for lawyers that include 30-second elevator speeches, branding, business card designs, website development, and networking. But rarely do you read about the quality and nature of the relationship between you and a prospect or a potential source of referrals. Yet this is the most critical part of your marketing efforts. Your success or failure in this one area is the most important factor in determining the effectiveness of your marketing efforts.
In my early years of being a solo attorney, I believed that all I had to do was go out for lunch with an accountant and the legal work would immediately follow. Imagine my surprise when, after having lunch with an accountant, nothing happened. I did not understand what I had done wrong. Perhaps I did not explain clearly enough what type of work I was interested in. Maybe I didn't wear a nice enough suit or my business card should have been on thicker stock. Or perhaps we should have gone to a nicer restaurant.
What I did not understand was that the process of generating business first required forming what I call an "affinity relationship."
Secret #1
An affinity relationship is a relationship of trust and relatedness on a personal level. The relationship has transcended that of two strangers—you each feel that you know one another in a way that creates trust. Your initial focus with a potential client or referral source should not be on getting the client or generating business. Your focus should be on creating a relationship of trust with this person.
Forming an affinity relationship should be your most important goal as you develop a relationship with any business contact. It is the secret of any successful marketer in any industry. It is the foundation upon which everything else is built.
Secret #2
Okay maestro, you say, good idea, but how do you build trust? Take the prospects to their favorite restaurant? Get them good seats to the games of their favorite home team? Get a summer job for the kid?
No, no, and no.
Potential clients may appreciate these favors, but such favors will not get people to hire you as their lawyer. Creating a relationship of trust involves:
- When you meet with a potential client, focus on the client, not on yourself.
- Get to know what the other person is really about and what is important to him or her. This can include everything from where they want to be in five years with their business to personal interests such as family or hobbies.
- If the information is not volunteered, be sure to ask questions.
- Be sincere. Like a good slice of apple pie, sincerity can't be faked. You either have to be really interested in finding out more about someone, or it will be obvious that you really do not care.
To succeed, take charge of your interaction with your business contact. This is not a job interview where you wait passively for the interviewer to come up with the next question. You're leading the dance.
Secret #3
Okay, you understand and have absorbed these lessons. There is a final ingredient to this whole formula that is vital to making it all work.
When a potential client or even a referral source meets with you, the prospect isn't really trying to establish whether you are a good lawyer. If your lawyering skills were in question, you'd be asked for samples of your work and references from existing clients. Sometimes people ask for references, but that doesn't often happen. And rarely do people ask for samples of your work.
So on what basis do people make the all-important decision about hiring you? Drum roll, please. They hire you if they like you. Yep, that's it. I bet you've been wondering about that one for a long time. Sad but true. Whether a business contact likes you or not hinges partly on whether they trust you or not. But there is a certain chemistry that has to be there above and beyond the trust for them to like you.
I wish I knew a sure-fire way of how to get people to like you. If I did, I'd be a millionaire. Keep in mind that if you communicate well, if you are on the same page as the other person in many areas, the chances that you will be hired will increase. If you seem distant, strange, unfamiliar, inaccessible, or give the feeling that you are hard to talk to, they probably will not hire you even if you got great grades in law school and even if you have an encyclopedic knowledge in the area in which you want to represent them.
So, when a prospect does appear to like you, do not try to analyze why they do. Simply recognize this as an important indicator that the likelihood of being hired is good, and follow up accordingly.
Follow-up is important. Send articles of interest to the contact. Introduce them to people who could benefit them. Touch base after a few weeks to see how they are doing. Suggest another meeting after an appropriate period of time.
A Client's Point of View
Choosing an attorney is a big decision. A client has decided to put his or her trust in you to represent them well. When potential clients struggle with whom to hire, they look for comfort and reassurance that they're making the right choice. It's your job to give them that comfort, making it easier for them to choose you to be their attorney.

Chair's Columnby Gregory L. Pemberton, Ice Miller, Indianapolis, IN
This is a note I did not want to write. I have tried to keep these pieces light and upbeat. If I have succeeded, it is in large part because that is my general demeanor and outlook on life. "You can choose to be positive" has always been at the root of my message. I am struggling with that thought at the moment.
I have been reading in the popular press about the immigration debate in Washington, DC. One item that got my attention is the proposal to raise if not eliminate the limits on nursing immigration. This is an apparent response to the nursing shortage which has long plagued our healthcare system. It is supported by folks who want nurses to be welcomed to United States soil if they are inclined to come.
A counter position has also come to light. Some have argued (recently as an op ed piece in The New York Times) that this provision places the fragile healthcare systems (if some of them can even be labeled that) of certain countries at risk. The argument proceeds that many nurses in English-speaking countries will be lured to the U.S. due to the harsh economic conditions in their countries compared to the relative prosperity of our country. The editorial suggests that the U.S. should not shirk the responsibility of training and educating our own as nurses in the guise of immigration reform.
I do not know how you, gentle reader, come out in this discussion. But the general topic has become personal in the last few weeks. Two loved ones have recently experienced hospital and skilled nursing care. I am a son and son-in-law for a parent in a healthcare institution. I have not been on the consumer and family member role side of healthcare very much. My wife had a freak fall and injury two years ago, but she was strong and fully expected to recover. Gratefully, she has. But my two aged parents are in need of rehabilitation to walk again and thus to regain independent living. It is sobering to have to depend on others to make this possible. I find myself in that uncomfortable position of wanting the best for my loved one, but not knowing what the near future will bring.
I (and my parents) are now relying on nurses and other health professionals to make things right. We just experienced the staffing challenges of a holiday weekend in a skilled nursing facility—but as a family member, not as a health lawyer who sees the real professional challenges faced by facility administration and professional staff. How do I now feel about immigration reform and foreign trained nurses coming to the U.S.? I candidly cannot answer that one. The emotion and uncertainty clouds the clear thinking I would normally bring to bear. I hope to write an upbeat ending. But that is just my hope now. Take care.

According to @evleaks, the fabled HTC One Max (aka the HTC T6) will be carried by AT&T here in the US. HTC One Max rumors suggest the device will feature a 5.9-inch 1080p display, 2.3 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor, Ultrapixel camera and a generous 3,300 mAh battery. We do not know when the handset is expected to show up at AT&T stores, but the device unveiling is expected during the second half of Q3.
HTC T6 headed to AT&T
— @evleaks (@evleaks) July 23, 2013
The tweet about the HTC T6 was preceded by a tweet that claimed the HTC Zara would make its way to Sprint's network. Not much is known about the HTC Zara as this point. The name first appeared when China Times reported that the plastic enclosed device would make an appearance around the same time as the HTC T6. No additional details are currently known. While @evleaks shared details regarding US partners for the two devices within a 30 minute time frame, there's no indication that the two devices are related in any way.
HTC Zara headed to Sprint
— @evleaks (@evleaks) July 23, 2013
Update: @evleaks has now shared that the HTC Zara will be a "mashup of the One and Desire families." We're not exactly sure what that means since the HTC One is HTC's flagship device and the Desire family has always included mid to low-end devices. The Zara could be the HTC One mini, but it could also be a much cheaper device like the HTC Desire 500 which was unveiled today in Taiwan.
HTC Zara is supposedly a mashup of the One and Desire families.
— @evleaks (@evleaks) July 23, 2013
Do you think HTC would release a device as cheap as the Desire 500 under the One name?

'Umbrellas' gets 50th anniversary restoration
Beloved by movie buffs for a half-century, the French pop opera "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" was digitally restored last year under the supervision of director Jacques Demy's widow, filmmaker Agnes Varda.
The spruced-up edition of the classic film will be screened at the Avon Theatre in Stamford on Thursday, Jan. 16, as part of its regular French Cinematheque series co-sponsored by the Alliance Francaise of Greenwich.
"Umbrellas" will be introduced by French film scholar Anne M. Kern, who is an associate professor of cinema studies at Purchase College, State University of New York.
Asked in a recent phone interview to account for the movie's enduring popularity, she said, "It's wonderful. ... I think it also has something to do with the way it channels our emotions."
The magic in this musical love story, Kern added, is in the way Demy endows working class people in the French port city of Cherbourg with larger-than-life charisma, through the music of Michel Legrand and the gorgeous super-saturated color cinematography.
"He had the uncanny ability to take what might be called the banality of everyday life and to reveal its beauty and tragic dimensions," she said.
The 1964 international hit made a star of leading lady Catherine Deneuve and put Legrand on U.S. pop charts with the haunting, Oscar-nominated song, "I Will Wait for You."
Demy also received an Oscar nomination for his screenplay.
The movie follows Genevieve (Deneuve), the teenage daughter of an umbrella shop proprietor, who falls in love with a handsome auto mechanic (Nino Castelnuovo).
The relationship is interrupted -- and ultimately destroyed -- when the young man is drafted to serve in the Algerian War.
Every word in the film is sung, making it more of a modern opera than a traditional musical.
Like many of the greatest movie love stories, "Umbrellas" does not end happily, but fans of the film tend to see it again and again.
"It's a story about young love that I think we can all relate to," Kern said. "It's very sad stuff, but presenting it in this form was an incredible idea."
The movie is about the bad timing that makes it impossible for the two characters to build a life together.
"If the circumstances had been different and the timing had been different, they would be together. I think that resonates," Kern added.
A love story running parallel to the film is that of the dedication of Demy's widow to his work.
A major filmmaker in her own right, Varda set out in the 1990s to restore and to preserve all of her husband's films.
Through Varda's production company, "Umbrellas" underwent a major restoration, so that new 35mm prints could be made in the early 1990s, an action which laid the groundwork for the recent digital restoration.
"That was absolutely critical to the digital restoration, because they already had created a beautiful (35mm negative) that they could work from," Kern said.
"The restoration was daunting and very expensive," she added of the especially complicated work that went into creating a new digital soundtrack (under Legrand's supervision).
Varda joined forces with other sponsors -- including Louis Vuitton and the city of Cherbourg -- to create the restored "Umbrellas of Cherbourg," which debuted at last year's Cannes Film Festival.
The film professor has seen for herself the way that the musical works its magic on moviegoers of all ages.
"My college students are obsessed with it," she said.

Comedy is hard.
Putting together an arts festival is also hard.
Los Angeles is, arguably, the city closest to space in the sense that if you scream, no one can hear you. In NYC, people will hear you scream, but will intentionally ignore you.
With the power of all those overarching stereotypes combined, putting together a comedy festival in LA makes for an incredibly daunting challenge.
Attempts have been made. A haphazardly placed stage in the middle of Santa Monica Blvd. served as a place for comedy during the Silverlake Jubilee street fair last year, and a comedy tent has been regularly featured at the FYF Fest, which has gone well. Yet, the city has lacked, for several years, an entire comedy festival that really captures the thrill of the LA comedy scene.
Riot, a proposed alternative comedy festival for LA, wants to take on this incredibly daunting challenge. By the look of their first promo "PSA" video above featuring Patton Oswalt, Pete Holmes, Kumail Nanjiani, Dana Gould, Marc Maron, Thomas Lennon, Jackie Kashian, Tig Notaro, Jimmy Pardo, and more and more and so on and many more funny folks that are regularly mentioned or featured here at the Nerdist, they have a blueprint of how to do it.
The festival's head, Abbey Londer, a shrewd independent producer of comedy in LA, plans to have RIOT take place in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles this Fall if successful in gathering the funds. Already, the Kickstarter for RIOT is more than on pace with just under $5,000 of their $20,000 goal (going towards venue deposits, vendors, rentals, equipment, staff, food and drink concessions, and security) raised in three days (over $8,000 by Sunday evening).
So, if you want to see an amazing comedy festival in LA or, if you're not in LA and want to make what I previously thought was impossible possible, then donate. If not, thanks for just reaffirming all those stereotypes listed at the top.

When Cole Davis founded Keystone RV in 1996 his vision was clear: Build a quality RV loaded with features priced thousands less than other RVs on the market. To accomplish his goal, Cole would recruit and build a strong team, focus on keeping overhead low, and empower the people closest to the customer to make decisions.
Within a few short months after opening the doors, Keystone produced its very first camper. Delivering big on quality, features and value, the public fell in love with it. A star was born! As the appetite for the camper increased, new Keystone models were added to satisfy growing customer demand. Along with this tremendous growth came the need for expanded production. To meet this need more manufacturing plants were built and staffed.
From new floor plan designs to patented inventions, Keystone leads the way in product innovation. One reason is our mission to stay close to the customer. When talking with campers or visiting dealerships, our sales, product development, and service teams, are always looking for ways to improve the camping experience. And we don't stop there.
Every member of the Keystone family is encouraged to contribute to making our campers absolutely the best possible. Through something we call Kamp Keystone, our employees camp free of charge at local campgrounds in the Keystone trailers we supply. Each year hundreds of our production workers, administrative staff and service team enjoy a day (or a week) at Kamp Keystone. Their evaluation of the experience and the feedback they provide results in continued product improvements. Ask us if we use our RVs...the answer is YES!

Would it be possible to flip the map view to show where hidden terts are to your opponent/s during a fog game? I know it can be thought out, but I am a visual person and it might be helpful to see how the map (hidden terts) looks from my opponent/s view, and how a potential move might positively or negatively effect the current strategy.
*Edited to hopefully help clarify. I'm not trying to see what my opponent/s have just what is hidden to them, in a more visually distinguished way.

Marshall Goldberg has had a varied career as both a lawyer and a writer. An honors graduate from Harvard College and valedictory speaker at Stanford Law School, Goldberg clerked for The Hon. Robert F. Peckham of the U.S. District Court in San Francisco. He went on to become counsel for the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights, where he was lead counsel on the extension of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Attorneys' Fees Bill. Later he served in the Justice Department as legislative liaison for the Civil Rights Division, as well as a litigator in civil rights cases against the North Carolina state prison and mental hospital system.
In 1979, Professor Goldberg moved to Los Angeles to try his hand at writing, and spent the next 24 years writing or producing such shows as
Diff'rent Strokes, The Jeffersons, Paper Chase, Newhart, L.A. Law, It's Garry Shandling's Show, and
Life Goes On, along with eight television movies, three screenplays, and an animated feature. He has been a Humanitas Prize and Writers Guild Award finalist, and taught screenwriting at USC Film School.
From 2003 to 2005, Professor Goldberg put aside his writing career to serve as general counsel for the Writers Guild of America, West, where he was responsible for all legal matters involving the Guild's 11,000 members. Among his duties were overseeing grievances and arbitrations, assisting in collective bargaining negotiations, and counseling the board of directors on legal and constitutional matters. Eventually he was named the Guild's deputy executive director. In late 2005, he left the Guild to write novels and teach. His novel
The New Colossus was published by Diversion Books in 2014.

WORCESTER � Permanent foot patrols in the Main South area of the city will begin by the end of the week as the Police Department continues to re-evaluate the deployment of resources and how they are best used.
The announcement comes roughly a week after the department moved officers from the Traffic Division into the Patrol Division and also created an accident investigation and reconstruction unit. A captain was also moved into the Service Division to oversee things there.
Main South had foot patrols at the beginning of the year on a temporary basis. The area also had foot patrols from Dec. 1, 2011, to Sept. 1, 2012, with a $720,000 overtime budget price tag.
Police Chief Gary J. Gemme said when 17 new officers graduated in April, officials were able to review the entire organization, deal with staffing issues within certain divisions and look at other services.
While the department continues to focus on violent crime and firearms, Chief Gemme said quality-of-life issues remain a major piece of the department's split-force model.
"We hear over and over again from the community and elected officials that they want foot patrols and traffic enforcement," Chief Gemme said. Now that officers have been moved into the Patrol Division to focus on traffic, the chief said, the department can add foot patrols.
"I believe we have the resources to establish a permanent foot patrol in the Main South area," he said.
Having foot patrols through the Community Impact Division is just part of good community policing, the chief said. Foot patrols help police establish relationships with people in a neighborhood and give the area a visible police presence.
The Main South foot patrols will be done with on-duty personnel. The past foot patrols were funded through overtime, which the chief said would be too costly to do with the new permanent patrols.
Once the permanent foot patrols in Main South are established, the department will look at other areas in the city. The chief said lower Grafton, Vernon, Providence and Pleasant streets are all areas being reviewed.
Chief Gemme said the Main South foot patrols will be done on varied days and times in order to not be predictable.
A new recruit class is being planned with a prospective 2014 graduation date. The addition of more officers would allow the department to add more permanent foot patrols, the chief said.

A. I've used two of OnStream's 30GB Echo drives: the USB30 external USB drive and the DI30 internal IDE drive. Both products were useful as tape backups but lacking as standalone drives.
OnStream's Echo drives appear to your system as removable drives, similar to an Iomega Zip drive. You can easily copy files to and from an Echo drive. However, keep in mind that this is a tape drive, so performance suffers during direct copy or retrieval actions. The Echo drives come with the vendor's Echo backup software, which provides good backup capability and lets you allocate system memory for cache on the drives. Using the Echo software, you can also change the delay-write and cache-flush intervals, which can improve the drives' performance during file copy or backup procedures. However, the Echo software isn't compatible with Windows 2000 Server or Windows NT Server 4.0 , and you need Echo 3.2 to use the Echo drives with Win2K Professional or Windows Me. (You can find a list of alternative backup software solutions that work with Echo drives at the OnStream software Web site.) In fact, the USB30 drive won't work with NT Server 4.0 regardless of software. (OnStream does offer SCSI units that will work with NT Server 4.0 and alternative backup software.)
Installing the OnStream USB30 drive is a hassle. But as backup units, OnStream's 30GB drives give you a good money-to-megabyte ratio and set you back only about $45 per tape. (The drives cost about $290.) Performance is surprisingly good for such inexpensive media.

So that those of us who appreciate that Yii is a non-bloated PHP Framework can enjoy it.
There are already addons for both of these 'competing' frameworks..
All I ask of Yii is this:
1) Semantic CSS - CSS3 with fallback for older browsers (see next point)
2) Full HTML5 support with Modernizr as fallback.
That's all.
Extensions were made to 'extend' Yii.
And that's the way I think it should be.
Feel free to create an Easy-Yii bundle.
I think it sounds like a great idea.
But why you'd want this come bundled with the framework is beyond me.
I started this discussion I think, with my request to replace Blueprint with something more modern.
We already have well-maintained extension for both Bootstrap and Foundation - so we have it: right now.
Should it become bundled with Yii?
Yii is like a Sushi knife: elegant tool in the right hands.
It's not a Swiss Army Knife - and I hope that it never becomes one.
If it does, there's enough PHP frameworks out there to shake a stick at - muhaha.
Theoretically this is ok, but as I've already said, the point is that Yii needs to show something so, unless you want unstyled html lists instead of menus etc., we need a default style and Bootstrap 2 perfectly fits the purpose. You could always replace it with something else just like you can always replace jQuery (which is currently bundled) but having to show something we need a default style to be shown.

The Korea Times reports that "the consumer electronics arm of LG Group is working with Internet-giant Google to make another Nexus-branded Google Android smartphone." LG produced the current Nexus 4 and rumors suggested they would also produce the "Nexus 5″, but this is the first report which openly states LG is making another Nexus smartphone.
If this report is true, we would expect to see the next Nexus smartphone around October. This is when we hear LG will debut the Optimus G 2, and we speculate that their next Nexus will based on this device (just like the Nexus 4 was based on the original Optimus G). Recent clues suggest that Google will reveal Android 4.3 at Google IO this month, so that leaves open the door for Android 5.0 appearing on the next LG Nexus.
There is a chance that we could see a refreshed Nexus 4 with LTE and a new Nexus 7 with a Snapdragon chip at Google IO, but we are not expecting any completely new Nexus devices until the end of the year. Another source claims that Motorola is also working on a Nexus smartphone, that is not the "X Phone", but we have yet to hear any new details about that device.
It will probably be a long wait before any concrete details appear, but we will be on the lookout for any news about the next Nexus smartphone.

Physics Minor Requirements | Course Descriptions
Physics is the study of matter and energy, and their interactions in the areas of mechanics, heat, sound, optics, electricity, magnetism, radiation, and the atomic and sub-atomic world. Physics provides students with concepts and models for describing, understanding, and predicting many characteristics and phenomena of physical and biological systems. As such, it provides the foundation for many other sciences such as chemistry, astronomy, biology, geology, engineering, and medicine.
A minor in Physics is an appropriate choice for students pursuing interdisciplinary majors in Environmental Science and Human Biology. It is also a good choice for students who plan to teach at the secondary level because there is a chronic shortage of qualified physics teachers.
Students seeking information on teacher certification should contact the Education Office.

One Green Prune
It's always better when the prunes double up but they have separate identities now. Still can't distinguish what those identities might be but these are their wishes, we must respect them. Try.
So MK Olsen turned up yesterday at the Grand opening celebration of Otarian: The Planet's Most Sustainable Restaurant on Bleecker Street in New York. She attired herself in the spirit of the establishment in a green jacket and a full prune face. Awesome. But it really is. Because while she might be weird and remote, MK also looks healthy. Her skin is good. She's not disappearing, and I know you will fight me on this but I do love the messy prairie hair.
Had to laugh a few weeks ago when I received an email from a Twi-Hard about "plaid and lumberjack" styles. The sender's name is Emily:
You're cool for giving KStew the love for her clothes but you really sh-t on Twilight too much and don't give credit where credit it due. Rob and the twi-crew inspired fashion, style and designs. That means they are icons and not just a stupid fad. No one would be wearing the plaid and lumberjack shirts if they didn't wear them. That is a style. Maybe not like Chanel but no one can afford that anyways. More people prefer Rob and Kris style. You should at least acknowledge it. Thanks for your time.
Why do Twi-Hards keep thinking that Twilight invented, like, everything?
Please. I don't mean to be argumentative. But MKO was rocking plaid and lumberjack in 2006 before Robert Pattinson was even born.

WebMD digs deeper into the everyday
WebMD is getting personal. That's the upshot of the portal's latest venture, an alliance with QualcommLife announced earlier this month at the HIMSS conference in New Orleans.
The collaboration puts WebMD on track to create medical devices that tap into Qualcomm's FDA-approved Life 2Net Platform, ones capable of storing personal information and syncing data clouds with other 2Net Platform users such as activity tracker FitBit. WebMD chief technology officer William Pence told MM&M the deal gives WebMD the latitude to help multi-brand device users keep what they've got and build from there for an enhanced WebMD experience. He likened it to the TV service Roku, which blends information from distinct data or subscription services, like HULU and Netflix, and funnels it into one touchpoint.
It would also allow WebMD, which has been struggling to hang onto ad revenue and fend off competitors like Everyday Health, to better leverage the information millions of profiled users have provided to the site. Pence told MM&M the deal is in sync with where the company has been heading because the "last few years have been less about content and more about interactive goods." He noted that users are already incorporating the site into daily life by using WebMD apps in locations such as at the doctor's office or at the pharmacy, and pointed to the 17 million app downloads and 22 million visitors to the WebMD mobile site as evidence of demand for on-the-go resources. Creating devices, he said, will build "a bridge into a lifelong relationship with WebMD."
But fitness is not where WebMD is going. Instead, Pence said their focus will be on chronic conditions. He envisions being able to offer users a suite of supportive devices, such as heart monitors or a glucometer, at no cost, and sees the services providing helpful recommendations based on user data (for example: "it looks like you might find a glucometer helpful"). Pence said the new business will also let the company do something unique in the device realm: wrap the data with contextual insights by tapping into the content WebMD already has.
Pence noted that the company has an added, if intangible, benefit—a backlog of consumer trust, critical to getting users to share health data.
"People know we're sensitive to the needs of the consumer," said Pence. "The brand is really what gives us some confidence that we can pull this off."
The first device will come out this fall and WebMD's initial focus will be on consumers. At the same time, Pence said the company is looking to ease doctors into accepting devices as helpful tools for patient care. He's cognizant of physician anxieties about data overload. "We know their needs," he said.

Spotlight on fresh faces
There were a few of them last night at the Hollywood Film Festival awards gala last night. Let's start with Jeremy Renner. Because I've been remiss in not giving The Hurt Locker enough love. It deserves a lot of love. After all these months though, The Hurt Locker is still getting the love. And the buzz. They thought the buzz had come too early. But the buzz is still buzzing leading up to awards season, and now that the number of spots for Best Picture at the Oscars has been expanded to ten, The Hurt Locker must be considered a lock. It is a stunning achievement. And Jeremy Renner's performance certainly deserves to be recognised. It's just too bad Anthony Mackie is being ignored. He was excellent too.
If you haven't seen The Hurt Locker, you must. Immediately.
98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
What are you waiting for?
Jeremy Renner was presented with the Breakthrough Award last night by his friend Charlize Theron who, um, is doing him no favours in the height department.
Carey Mulligan, my current #1 girlcrush, also received the Breakthrough Award for actresses – love the variation on the hair, love her little face, love the photo with Pierce Brosnan who did the honours. On the Shia front – Mulligan and LaBeouf were photographed hand in hand the other day sightseeing in New York. Click here for photos.
And then there's Gabby Sidibe, recipient of the New Hollywood Award who giggled adorably upon her arrival that: "I think I was extremely naive when I showed up here tonight. This is a big thing!"
There will be more. Many believe that Gabby, Carey, and Meryl Streep are the three names that will most certainly be called on nomination day. Gabby loves purple. She will have lots of opportunities to wear purple of all season.

Assemblyman John D. Ceretto, R-I-Lewiston, sent a letter Tuesday to members of the Niagara County Legislature's community services committee, calling on them to protect important senior services.
In the letter, Ceretto urged the committee members to vote in favor of keeping open three local senior-meal sites that have been slated for possible closure. The committee is scheduled to vote on fate of the meal sites this week.
"While I appreciate efforts to save taxpayer dollars, it is my hope that these facilities can remain open and be utilized by our area seniors, at least until further study can be conducted," Ceretto said. "In speaking with residents from across my district, I can tell you that this meal program has wide appeal among our seniors and has been expertly handled under the auspices of the Office of Aging and the Community Services Committee of the Niagara County Legislature."

"Today, at the age of 28, I got excited about two videogames that probably weren't aimed at my age range. Care? No, I do not.
I wouldn't normally post about new games that have been announced today, but when I saw these two announcements...I thought hell, lets do it." - Blast Process
Lego games are generic cash-ins.
You will miss some great experiences if you pass up mature games.
Pokemon is a mature game, hidden in a childish premise. All the depth and stats in that game as well as the sheer length of time as well as the occasional grind it takes to beat it are just ridiculous. It looks like it's not a mature game, but it really is.
I can't wait for these games, they both look awesome. Lego Marvel will be my 3rd Lego game this year and a 3DS Pokemon game is what I've been waiting for for two years.
I think there is definitely room for both. To say "who needs mature games" is a bit of a stretch.
I'm probably most looking forward to Last Of Us and Pokemon this year...
Lego Marvel? Hells yes!
I couldn't care less what people see as mature or not. Screw validation, the 10-year-old me is hyped.

Arsenal and Liverpool target Klass-Jan Huntelaar was booed by Schalke 04 fans at the weekend, as the uncertainty surrounding his future is blamed for a drop in form.
Schalke have not won for four games in the Bundesliga and the run of poor results have coincided with reports of a possible transfer to Emirates Stadium or Anfield.
The interest of Brendan Rodgers and Arsene Wenger comes after the 29-year-old scored an astonishing 48 goals last season for the German side.
However, Huntelaar's contract expires at the end of the season and they have, as yet, been unable to agree new terms, which have fuelled the links with Liverpool and Arsenal.
Despite claiming not to have heard the jeers and boos, Huntelaar admitted his and his side's form has not been good enough of late.
"I did not hear the whistles. But it is clear that people are not satisfied with how we've played," he told German newspaper Bild.
Huntelaar's continued failure to agree terms with Schalke appear to now be grating with the club's general manager Horst Heldt, who was hinting that the striker may have lost focus with the uncertainty.
"For me as a player it was always important to have clarity," he said.
Arsenal are in desperate need of some inspiration up front, which was highlighted in the dismal 2-0 loss at home to Swansea City on Saturday.
The Gunners fans were furious with the listless display as Wenger's side put in as toothless a performance as they have doen for some time.
Meanwhile, the ramifications of Liverpool's shortage of strikers will be seen next weekend, as star man Luis Suarez is suspended for the trip to West Ham.

Fellowship to help warbirds
RETIRED army major Peter Ford will fly half way around the world to gather the information he needs to replicate some of Australia's first war birds.
He is excited about the prospect which has come about after he was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to travel to England for his research into pre-1919 planes used by the Australian Flying Corps.
Mr Ford was based at Oakey Army Aviation Base as an aeronautical engineer before he left in 1985 to pursue a career in teaching.
He retired and since 2008 has volunteered at the Museum of Australian Army Flying at Oakey.
"Since I came out here I got very interested in World War One aeroplanes," Mr Ford said.
His fellowship will help him to travel to various military and science museums as well as libraries and archives to seek out the designs of the planes flown by Australians in the First World War.
The journey should take him five to six weeks and he hopes to leave at the end of September.
He said he planned to take detailed photographs of the planes, something he and fellow volunteers needed desperately to help build accurate replicas.
"I'll bring it back here and hopefully we will make one or two replicas as a result of my studies.
"All of the information I gather will be deposited in our library."
Mr Ford said he applied unsuccessfully for the fellowship in 2010 but was encouraged to try again.
"We want to display the replicas for future generations."
Meanwhile, Stanthorpe winemaker Mike Hayes has also been awarded a Churchill Fellowship.
His grant will allow him to travel to Italy, Spain, Portugal and France to research alternative grape varieties that would suit Queensland's climate.

Be still my heart…It worked!
I think I started this pattern back in about April. It's been modified here and there several times, and I still have a lovely team of beta-knitters working on it as well. If all goes well, I'll release the pattern here for public consumption by the end of September. (I was thinking about offering it for free, but several people are telling me I should charge. I'm starting to agree. I'm also starting to realize I have no idea how to actually do that. Hm.)
Sizing will include Women's XS to 5XL, in zip cardi and pullover options. Next up: Men's version!
For those who are interested:
Pattern: My own, based on the Quidditch uniform sweaters worn in the Harry Potter films. Modified to be a zippered-cardigan (pullovers are worn in the films) that includes optional pockets just below the waist. Sleeves cover the wrists.
Yarn: Elann Peruvian Highland Wool, in Ink and Light Grey Heather, with some Patons Classic Merino Light Grey Mix thrown in to subsitute for the back stripe.
Needles: 4mm straights, eventually switched to 4mm circs to work pieces flat. Easier on my hands and elbows that way.
Finishing: Zipper installed by hand, and that was a first for me. I've never done zippers before, but Im happy with the result! Vogue Knitting Quick Reference was most helpful. Also, I learned that sewing seams on a dark-navy-blue piece is a lot harder without good lighting! Heh.
I now have a heap of burgundy and gold yarn to knit one of these for my sister, who requested this thing in the first place. Hers won't have the hem stripe on it, and may or may not have the pockets. Guess what'll have to go on the WIP list next? 😉
