Today we submitted PocketBible 1.4.1 and PrayerPartner 1.1.0 to the App Store.
PrayerPartner has been updated for iOS 4. This is primarily related to making PrayerPartner aware of and compatible with multitasking. However, we are also taking advantage of a new feature of iOS 4 – a programmatic interface to the text messaging composition form. PrayerPartner has previously helped you send emails regarding requests on your prayer list. Now it can also help you send text messages.
We also took this opportunity to add some email and text messaging capability to PocketBible. While I ran into some problems that prevented me from including these features in our 1.4.0 update, those issues have been resolved. PocketBible now allows you to send Bible verses via email or text messaging to people in your contact list.
Note that the text messaging features are only available with iOS 4, and your device must be capable of sending text messages.
As always, we expect the approval process to take 2 to 10 days. When the updates are approved, iTunes will notify you that the updates are available.

text: Seaside Fire Chief Joey Daniels has banned all burning in the City of Seaside starting today and through the weekend due to extreme dry weather and fire dangers. This is latest development as one of he driest seasons on record continues with the forecast calling for sunshine until next week. The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning saying low relative humidity combined with warm temperatures would cause wildfires to start and grow quickly. The Oregon Department of Forestry has already issued warnings fearing warming or cooking fires in the woods would quickly escalate.

It seems that perhaps abortion is going to be an issue again, maybe for a whole news cycle. Yet another Republican has spoken what he believes is the honest truth, and this is news because it clashes with the real world. Pregnancy, even due to rape, is a gift from God; as we know from earlier, it can only be a pregnancy if it wasn't legitimate rape, anyway.
The Republican Party platform opposes abortion, and lists no exceptions (indeed, it applauds legislation that makes abortion more difficult to obtain). Not just the POTUS, but Congress and potential Supreme Court nominees are at stake, and all are relevant for this issue.
Anyway, it's time to re-post this verse. It becomes relevant all too frequently. Oh… and, while I've never had a problem with people not recognizing it is satire, a recent comment came in that made me think that there are a handful of readers who don't get it.
Jennifer, Jennifer, got herself pregnant,
The poor, irresponsible slut.
See, boys will be boys, so it's up to the girls
To be moral, and keep their legs shut.
But Jennifer, Jennifer, couldn't be bothered;
She led her young Billy astray.
They met, after classes, at Jennifer's house,
And now there's a kid on the way.
Jennifer, Jennifer, wants an abortion—
She says she's too young for a baby—
But the law of the land says abortion is murder;
The answer is no, and not maybe.
See, murder is murder; we cannot condone
The destruction of innocent life.
And Billy, of course, is an innocent, too,
And he's much, much too young for a wife.
So Jennifer, Jennifer, finds herself caught
In the view of a watchful Big Brother,
And Country and Church have a task on their hands—
How to keep the babe safe from its mother.
If murder is murder, for fetus or child,
Then surely assault is assault;
A fetus is damaged by drinking or smoking,
And all of it, Jennifer's fault.
If Jennifer, Jennifer, falls down the stairs
Then the baby inside could be harmed;
And since that poor child is a ward of the state
It is right we should all be alarmed!
So Jennifer, Jennifer, needs to be safe
For the sake of the babe in her womb;
To keep the poor innocent safe from all harm,
Let's keep Jennifer locked in her room.
But Jennifer, Jennifer, isn't the first
Nor the last to be pregnant, you see.
The task that's before us—protecting our children—
Is crucial, I think you'll agree.
With the passing to law of my modest proposal,
I honestly think we'll prevail.
It's simple: Each woman who finds herself pregnant
Must spend the next nine months in jail.
Jennifer, Jennifer, shielded from harm
In a cell with a toilet and cot
With a closed-circuit camera, an unblinking eye,
For the safety of Jennifer's tot.
When at last you deliver your new baby boy
We'll whisk you right out through the door;
We care about kids while they're inside your womb—
Once they're out, we don't care any more.
And Jennifer, Jennifer, can't find her Billy—
Besides, he's too young for a wife—
She weighs her alternatives, looks down each road…
And reluctantly takes her own life.
And the church says a prayer for the baby unborn
And a heartfelt and tearful farewell.
But Jennifer, Jennifer, so says the church,
Will be heading directly to hell.


text: This core course for the Global Health and Environment thematic concentration of the International Studies major will review human- environment interactions from a global perspective, focusing specifically on how global change can alter human susceptibility to disease. Discussions will be focused on the general population and environmental changes that contribute to health deficiencies at the regional and global levels. Specific population changes to be discussed include: general population growth; transportation of people and products; urbanization and lack of sanitation; contact with wildlife; war and social disruption; and public health deficiencies. Specific ecological changes to be discussed include: changes in land use (irrigation, deforestation, and fragmentation); reduced biodiversity (altered host-parasite dynamics); pollution; natural disasters; and climate change (altered habitats of disease vectors). Readings will be selected to reflect the general interests of natural and social scientists alike. By the end of the course, students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of human-environment interactions and the various environmental risk factors associated with the emergence of infectious and chronic diseases as well as an understanding of how environmental and health sciences inform international and global policies.

NC State ended a memorable 2010 season with a 23-7 victory over No. 22 West Virginia in the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, Fla., Dec. 28. The win closed the Pack's year at 9-4. Now it's time for the last Monday Morning Quarterbacking of 2010.
Key moment of the game:
NC State led 16-7 with around 11:30 left in the fourth quarter when fifth-year senior kicker Josh Czajkowski lined up for a 22-yard field goal attempt. A delay of game penalty though pushed the Pack back five yards, and Czajkowski then booted his 27-yard attempt wide left.
The missed field goal seemed to spark some life into the West Virginia sideline, and it quickly showed on the field. On first and 10 at the 20, sophomore quarterback Geno Smith ran for 18 yards on a designed quarterback draw, and then on the next play he completed a nine-yard pass to redshirt freshman receiver Stedman Bailey. Senior running back Noel Devine rushed for a yard to get the first down on the next snap.
Running a no-huddle offense, Smith then connected with Bailey for a 13-yard gain to the NC State 39, and West Virginia had one of their best drives of the game going. That's when Smith decided to go deep to senior wide out Jock Sanders inside the 10-yard line. NC State sophomore safety Brandan Bishop had a read on the play however and made a leaping interception at the NC State 10 over an unsuspecting Sanders who was caught reaching out in front of him for a football that would never arrive.
Three things that worked:
1. Defense
There is no reason to count the number of times West Virginia reached the red zone because it never happened Tuesday night. The Mountaineers had just 17 yards of total offense in the crucial third quarter, and their lone touchdown came on a 32-yard jump ball in the corner of the end zone where Bailey simply made a great catch.
2. Russell Wilson
Playing against a very stingy defense with an unusual 3-3-5 scheme, NC State needed Wilson to play great, and he did. Wilson completed 28 of 45 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns and ran 14 times for 41 yards. He never turned the football over either.
3. Controlling the action
NC State set the tone early by stopping WVU's first drive with a sack, and then on State's second drive they marched down the field for the game's first touchdown. The Mountaineers did briefly tie the game at 7-7 in the second quarter, but junior receiver T.J. Graham's 46-yard kickoff return set up a field goal to give State a 10-7 halftime lead. NC State seemed to be in control of the game from that point forward.
Three things that did not work:
1. Finishing off WVU
It was not until a scrambling Wilson found fifth-year senior wide out Jarvis Williams for a seven-yard touchdown with 3:55 left in the game before the contest was truly over. When it seemed that all NC State needed was a touchdown to finish off West Virginia, they had to settle for a pair of field goals and missed another field goal attempt.
2. Fake field goal attempt
In the grand scheme of things the play did not matter, but NC State led 7-0 and lined up to take a 10-0 lead when Tom O'Brien called for a fake field goal. Holder Corey Tedder and Czajkowski though could not connect on Tedder's over the shoulder flick, and the play ended up backfiring on the Pack. Fortunately for State, WVU kicker Tyle Bitancurt missed a 43-yarder and no damage was done.
3. Kickoffs
Being a bit nit-picky here, but this was certainly not NC State's best game kicking off. Freshman Chris Hawthorne never reached the end zone on his three kickoffs, one of which was returned 60 yards by Sanders. Hawthorne would be eventually replaced by Czajkowski.
Breaking down the position battles:
NC State's OL vs. West Virginia's front seven
Nobody this year has stopped West Virginia junior defensive end Bruce Irvin, and NC State was no different. Irvin had two sacks and forced a fumble, but other than that, the Pack's offensive line held up fairly well against one of the better defenses in the country.
NC State's front seven vs. West Virginia's OL
The numbers are a bit misleading. West Virginia averaged 5.2 yards per rush, and Smith was only sacked twice, but the Pack's front seven played much better than those stats indicate. Devine had just one run longer than six yards, and he fumbled at the end of that particular 28-yard scamper. Smith was also hurried eight times.
NC State's WR vs. West Virginia's DB
NC State's receivers held their own in the match-ups. Six different wide outs caught passes for a total of 18 receptions for 205 yards and a score. The Pack though did have a few drops from the receiving corps.
NC State's DB vs. West Virginia's WR
Bailey made a heck of a catch over NC State freshman corner David Amerson for WVU's lone score, but overall this was a nice game from the secondary. Amerson finished with a team-high seven tackles, and Bishop had the big interception.
They did not reveal the vote totals, but it's hard to imagine anyone other than Wilson being considered for the game's MVP. Smith played a decent game for West Virginia, and he has an obviously bright future for the Mountaineers, but Wilson was simply the best player on the field in the Champs Sports Bowl.
Running backs
Neither team featured their backs much. Devine had eight carries for 50 yards, 28 of them coming on that one run. NC State's duo of sophomore James Washington and freshman Mustafa Greene ran 21 times for 75 yards. Greene also added a 16-yard touchdown catch.
Tight Ends
Early in the game NC State redshirt junior George Bryan showed why he is one of the country's top tight ends. He ended up with three catches for 25 yards, but he caught two for 19 yards on the first drive to set up the touchdown. West Virginia never even attempted a pass to their tight end.
Special teams
Czajkowski's three field goals from distances of 45, 38 and 40 yards highlighted what was overall a so-so special teams game. Czajkowski missed a 27-yarder, and the Pack had the botched fake field goal attempt.
West Virginia's Bitancurt missed both of his attempts, and both teams had one long kickoff return. The positives for both squads were that both their punters had solid games.

You've probably heard by now that Megan Phelps-Roper and her sister Grace have publicly left the Westboro Baptist Church. It's not exactly a friendly place, you know.
An official spokesman for the church has made a statement:
"If they continue with the position that they have, those two girls, yeah, they're going to hell."
Well, that was predictable.
I wonder how far their defection will take them? Will we be seeing Megan and Grace at an atheist meeting in the future, along with Nate?

New troopers bring different experiences
BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. - Erick Sjodin is among a new breed of Minnesota State Patrol troopers.
The married father of three spent years in other professions before he decided to apply skills he had learned to law enforcement.
Sjodin, a Wrenshall native and Duluth resident, had trained as an airplane pilot and mechanic, but his college education included a law enforcement degree from University of Wisconsin-Superior.
"I wanted to do something that makes a difference," Sjodin said Friday after he and 71 other State Patrol cadets became troopers at a graduation ceremony near Minneapolis.
The class is the largest in the patrol's history, and it includes 31 members who, like Sjodin, turned to law enforcement after working in other career fields. They applied to the State Patrol through a new program that targets people without prior law enforcement experience.
"We're looking for people that have life experience to draw from," said State Patrol Lt. Jean Cemensky, "and to diversity the agency."
The trooper class includes a former baseball player, a stay-at-home father, a financial planner and former soldiers who served in the Iraq war.
Those who were accepted had to complete accelerated law enforcement training exercises before joining fellow cadets who had prior experience as a police officer or sheriff's deputy. All of the cadets went through more than three months of training before graduating Friday.
Troopers in the new program have a variety of skills that are important in law enforcement, said Tom Erickson of Woodbury, an incoming trooper who applied to the State Patrol through the new program after serving in the military.
It is the most diverse class of troopers, so also is the strongest in the patrol's history, Erickson said.
"It is guaranteed that we forever will change the agency," added trooper Azzahy Williams, who will patrol the Twin Cities area.
The patrol will conduct a similar trooper academy that includes cadets without prior law enforcement experience in 2011.
"It's going to be a model, I think, in the years to come for law enforcement here in Minnesota," Public Safety Commissioner Michael Campion said.
Troopers with law enforcement experience said they welcome colleagues who never wore a badge before joining the patrol.
"They have different experiences," said Nicholas Tabbert of Parkers Prairie, a 27-year-old former Watonwan County sheriff's deputy who will patrol highways in Cass and Hubbard counties for the State Patrol.
Tabbert and Benjamin Schlag of Park Rapids, a friend and fellow trooper, said they and other cadets with law enforcement experience were able to share lessons they have learned with cadets new to the field.
Prior law enforcement experience did come in handy, however, during the State Patrol training at Camp Ripley in Little Falls, troopers said. The grueling training is compared to a military boot camp. That style of training prepares troopers to handle difficult situations, Schlag said.
"It's a stress academy," he said. "It's controlled chaos, lots of yelling ... but it's all for a purpose."
Schlag, an Iraq war veteran, said he is looking forward to completing a final three-week training program before beginning to patrol highways with experienced troopers.
"Today is a really big step," Schlag said as he awaited the graduation ceremony. "There's some celebration, but this is the most difficult thing I've done in my life."
The new troopers are assigned to certain regions of the state.
Sjodin was relieved when he secured an assignment in the patrol's Cloquet office, just south of his home in Duluth. He had been assigned to work in Montevideo, in western Minnesota, but swapped assignments with a fellow trooper.
"It's the situation I wanted more than any other," he said of working in northeastern Minnesota.
Scott Wente works for Forum Communications Co., which owns the Bemidji Pioneer.

We cleaned off the flip plate and the last date on my machine is copywright 1887. I am still missing a bobbin case and bobbin for it. Of all things, I found and purchased a Spider. Boy was I excited! :D Was all ready to go try my machine out by making a chain stitch. Pooh! It didn't fit! :( Or I need something to make it go in correctly. I have a whole bunch of attachments for it now.
Up North.....are you out there???? You posted a picture of your machine on my past thread and yours was made in 1889. Got any info for me? Anyone else??? I love this machine and really want to get it going. I'm sure most people would toss their hands up in the air and give it a toss but I really like the challenge of getting the parts and sewing on these old ones.
Here is a picture of my bobbin area. I have learned that not all of the Standards, depending on the year manufactured, are different. Thanks everyone!

That ASCII class diagram didn't present as expected. Here's a 'word' version:
ISubscribable is an interface
Periodical implements ISubscribable
Newsletter implements Periodical
Subscriber extends Role
Subscriber has a reference to persistent interface ISubscribable
Periodical has 0..m Subscribers
Chris Colman added a comment - 22/Jul/10 04:59 AM
Are the multiple columns really necessary in the first place? The query code doesn't seem to think so - it thinks it's sufficient to base the query on the Periodical class - the class that is directly implementing the interface - and so use the subscribable_periodical_periodical_id_eid column.
Certainly the extra columns seem redundant in a 'columns in superclass' inheritance mapping strategy.
The fact that these other columns even exist is puzzling to me and the fact that the storage code ambiguously uses them is causing some confusion.
Andy Jefferson added a comment - 20/Sep/10 01:41 PM
No testcase
Andy Jefferson added a comment - 19/Jun/15 12:44 PM
Can't see this. When I have an interface and one implementation has a subclass then the subclass has no FK as part of the interface mapping.
Kindly provide a way of reproducing this (aka testcase, a valid one, following the testcase guide) and it can be reopened.

Worley has rough start in rotation audition
By Rhett Bollinger / MLB.com
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- It wasn't the way Vance Worley envisioned his start would go against the Rays on Tuesday night.
Worley, who is competing for the final spot in the rotation along with Samuel Deduno, Scott Diamond and Kyle Gibson, struggled mightily in his fourth Grapefruit League outing.
The right-hander gave up seven runs on 11 hits, including six doubles, over 2 2/3 innings, suffering a blow to his chances of landing the final spot in the rotation. Deduno remains the favorite for that final spot, but Worley, Gibson and Diamond were all given consecutive starts this week to showcase their stuff.
Gibson starts Wednesday against the Cardinals and Diamond starts Thursday against the Rays, but Worley's outing on Tuesday simply didn't help his chances to make the rotation. But Worley, who has a 13.50 ERA this spring, said it remains out of his control, and all he can do is keep working to get better.
"All I can do is go out and work," Worley said. "They know I'm out there working really hard and doing everything I can. I lost all this weight. So I gotta do something right, and hopefully they see that."
Worley was jumped early, giving up a double to Wil Myers on just the second pitch of the game. It didn't get much better from there as Myers had three doubles on the night, including an RBI double with two outs in the third to chase Worley from the game.
"I prepared myself all week to start and everything went well in the bullpen, but I took it out there and the first inning I couldn't get the ball down in the zone," Worley said. "They hit the ball pretty much everywhere. And the second inning we tried to pound in some four-seam [fastballs], because the two-seamers were staying up in the zone, and they came in hacking. And the third inning, I thought we had everything on the right path and everything unraveled again."
Worley is out of Minor League options, so if he doesn't make the rotation, the Twins have to determine whether to convert him to a reliever to keep him on the roster, or expose him to waivers to send him to Triple-A Rochester.
"He warmed up as well as I've ever seen him, and then as soon as they said, 'Play ball,' the ball was elevated," Twins pitching coach Rick Anderson said. "The more he tried and pressed, the more he elevated."
Hughes pitches six strong innings in Minors game
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Right-hander Phil Hughes got his work in on Tuesday by pitching six strong innings in a Minor League game for Class A Advanced Fort Myers at the Lee County Sports Complex.
Hughes was originally slated to start against the Rays on Tuesday night at Hammond Stadium, but with Monday's game against the Orioles rained out, right-hander Vance Worley saw his start pushed back a day and started in place of Hughes against the Rays.
Hughes was sharp in Minor League action, giving up just one run on four hits with seven strikeouts. He also threw 73 pitches.
"I thought he looked really good," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said. "He was really sharp. I think he's looked sharp all spring."
Left-handed reliever Brian Duensing also pitched in a Minor League game on Tuesday, as he tossed a scoreless inning with two strikeouts for Class A Cedar Rapids. Right-handed reliever Casey Fien also pitched for Cedar Rapids, throwing a scoreless frame with one strikeout.
Twins not rushing to make roster decisions
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- With less than two weeks before the Twins open the season against the White Sox on March 31 in Chicago, questions still remain on what the roster will look like on Opening Day.
The Twins still have to make 15 roster cuts, as they currently have 40 players in big league camp, including 20 pitchers (four non-roster), four catchers (one non-roster), nine infielders (three non-roster) and seven outfielders (two non-roster).
Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said the roster should start shaping up soon, but the club hasn't made any official decisions on the fifth starter, the bullpen or the bench. The Twins also have to decide whether to start Aaron Hicks or Alex Presley in center field, and whether Josmil Pinto or Chris Herrmann will be the backup catcher to Kurt Suzuki.
"We've had good discussions," Antony said. "Everybody voices their opinions and everybody understands we have time. We've sent guys over for a reason, and the guys who are still over here are over here for a reason. So we still have 10 days to make our final decisions, but we'll probably make most of our decisions before that time. You like to have your team set."
The Twins still have to decide on a fifth starter between Samuel Deduno, Vance Worley, Scott Diamond and Kyle Gibson, and they have decisions to make in the bullpen as well. Deduno appears to be the frontrunner for that final spot in the rotation, but Worley and Diamond are also out of Minor League options.
It could create a logjam in the bullpen if they decide to keep Worley or Diamond on as relievers instead of using them in the rotation. But Worley didn't help his cause with a rough outing against the Rays on Tuesday night, when he gave up seven runs on 11 hits over 2 2/3 innings.
The Twins are giving all four candidates a chance to see Grapefruit League action this week, with Gibson starting against the Cardinals on Wednesday and Diamond starting against the Rays on Thursday. Deduno will also back up Gibson on Wednesday.
"All four guys are going to pitch over the next three days, including tonight, so we'll reevaluate the situation after that," Antony said before Worley's outing. "If somebody is clearly out of the mix, we can discuss something or else we can roll them all out again. We have a little time on our side."
The Twins also have to decide on their bench, with Eduardo Escobar likely to make the club as a utility infielder, while Jason Kubel, Chris Parmelee and Chris Colabello are seemingly fighting for two spots. Kubel isn't on the Major League roster but remains likely to make the team as a designated hitter and backup outfielder. But Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said nothing has been decided about the bench just yet.
"That's still way up in the air," Gardenhire said. "We've still got a long way to go before we get there. I'll tell you this, there's no agreement on any of that right now. Everybody has a different opinion on which way to go with our guys off the bench. We've had these conversations three different times. Everybody likes different people right now."

The report cites three companies that are succeeding with cloud business models in one form or another: Salesforce.com, RightNow Technologies, and McKesson. But it also notes many technology company executives don't understand how disruptive cloud business models are to their traditional way of building and shipping products.
The main thrust of the report is about how leading technology companies need to convert their products into cloud services and products, but are struggling to do so. Implicit is the possibility that if leading technology suppliers are troubled by the transition, then many other companies are likely to be as well. As a matter of fact, if a technology supplier doesn't understand the cloud and is slow to convert, that's going to leave its customers behind their competitors who are served by more cloud-adept technology suppliers.
Some technology companies, such as IBM, HP, Cisco and Dell, have decided to become cloud infrastructure service providers in one form or another, and also supply hardware and software to those companies that wish to build out cloud data centers. Likewise, Intuit and Microsoft, software publishers, are both becoming software as a service suppliers. All of these transitions require new business models to be put in place and new business processes to implement them.
[ Learn more about how cloud computing will change conventional business models. Read Accenture Sees High Tech Firms Moving To Multiple Business Models. ]
Hosting providers "have it the easiest, as the cloud is in many ways just the next generation of services that they already provide," the report said. But they are operations-focused companies that will need to become more innovation and focus more on consultative services in the future, the report warns. Infrastructure as a service suppliers such as Rackspace and SoftLayer have become cloud suppliers by evolving their hosting businesses.
"Most companies [that] come from a transactional, product-based and channel-centric mindset are woefully unprepared to deliver the world-class customer experience demanded by anything-as-a-service models," the Accenture authors Tim Jellison, Dave Sovie and Sam Glick concluded.
The report, issued April 23, said the transition to cloud products requires a new governance model to handle cloud complexity, and requires the creation of a new role, Chief Operational Architect.
Two companies cited in the report for having added cloud business models to their existing businesses are Apple and Sony. Both were previously producers of consumer electronics. Accenture says their emerging business model is that of content and service providers from the cloud; Apple in particular has demonstrated how additional business models in the cloud can be grafted onto a traditional device maker's strategy.
Company executives need to define their cloud business model, which consists of how the company will make money in a particular market with its product or service. The business model is a combination of a target customer, an offering or value proposition to the customer, and a revenue model. In cloud computing, revenue is usually raised one of two ways: by charging for timed use, or through subscriptions. These elements are combined with a go-to-market approach for the full business model, according to the report.
The business model is distinct from the operational model--the set of business processes, people, and systems that implement the business model.
In the Salesforce.com example, co-founder Parker Harris told the Accenture authors that it was important that Salesforce adopted an approach to scale its applications Internet-style to thousands and tens of thousands of simultaneous users, as opposed to developing on-premises software for use by one company. In addition, a healthy tension developed between development teams, focused on innovation in three product releases per year for a total of 500 releases across the product portfolio, versus the operational team, that needed to ensure continuous operation and minimal impact of changes on the customer. Salesforce.com had to devise its own version of agile development and devOps that maintained that tension, Harris said, a different way of operation from a traditional software company. It also uses several scorecards and tools to correlate what's going on with customers in their interactions with Salesforce.com and the likelihood they will renew their subscriptions. Salesforce appoints customer success managers to deal with customers, not technical support personnel, because users want prescriptive advice on how to better use the software in their businesses.

The 3DS is having a great year. Between hardcore strategy role-playing games and the return of beloved franchises, Nintendo has been cookin' up a diverse library for its 3D-enabled handheld.
During yesterday's Nintendo Direct video announcement, it revealed a ton of information on upcoming 3DS games for the spring and summer — and just a few hours later, it was ready to show some of them off during a press event in San Francisco. While we played everything there, we've narrowed down the list to the four games you should pay attention to, breaking down just how similar or different they are from other entries in their respective series.
As an extra bonus, we wrangled up a few Nintendo representatives to tell us some little known facts behind each game.
Harness the power of the 'stache
Title: Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Release date: August 11
The newest role-playing adventure for the world's most famous plumbers (which is different from that other Mario RPG series) has the Mario brothers running back and forth between dreams and reality to save Princess Peach. It's like Inception except with less music by Edith Piaf and more vaguely Italian-sounding dialogue.
What's old or new about it?
Besides earning experience points and levels, Dream Team is totally different from earlier games in the series. Mario crosses into the dream world whenever Luigi volunteers to sleep on magical pillows. This is where he teams up with the magnanimous Dreamy Luigi (they're Luigi's dreams, after all), a much more powerful version of his brother. Dreamy Luigi can merge with sparkling auras called Luiginary Works, where he becomes a giant, disembodied face that can help Mario around the 2D platforming levels.
The first Luiginary Work uses Luigi's thick mustache as a stretchy tree branch — you pull his real mustache with the stylus on the bottom screen and let go once Mario is on it — that propels Mario to greater heights. Luigi's second power brings objects in the background to the foreground with a powerful sneeze; you trigger it by rubbing his nose with the stylus.
Did you know?
"The game's writing in English is handled by Nate Bihldorff, from the Nintendo of America localization team," said a Nintendo representative. "Nate has been the lead writer for every game in the series to date."

CHANGING OF THE GUARD ... The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office in Palo Alto will have a new face at the helm starting Monday, Feb. 10. Supervising Deputy District Attorney Cindy Hendrickson is leaving the post to head up the family violence unit in San Jose. Brian Welch, currently the supervising deputy district attorney for the homicide unit, will replace Hendrickson.
SUPERBOWL SINGER ... Coca-Cola's Super Bowl ad featuring a multilingual rendition of "America the Beautiful" immediately went viral after it screened during the first half of the Feb. 1 football game, spurring a lot of less-than-politically correct comments on Twitter and Facebook about language and immigration in the U.S. But set aside the controversy — a fifth-grader from Palo Alto's Stratford School, Naya Salah of San Carlos, stole a spot in the ever-coveted Super Bowl commercial lineup, appearing in the Coke ad singing a portion of "America the Beautiful" in Arabic. "America is one union but with a mix of cultures, and it doesn't matter who you are," she sang. "We should always be friendly to each other no matter what difference you have." Salah is also Stratford School's student body president. Check out a behind-the-scenes video of Salah belting the song by searching "Coca-Cola - It's Beautiful in Arabic" on YouTube. (And catch the commercial when it re-airs during the opening for the 2014 Winter Olympics on Feb. 7.)
OBAMA CALLING ... When the president calls, you answer. President Barack Obama dropped a line to Palo Alto Unified School District's Ann Dunkin, nominating her to become an assistant administrator in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Dunkin, who was a senior research and development manager at Hewlett-Packard Company before jumping to become the school district's technology officer in 2009, will stay on the job here until her confirmation process in Washington is complete.
POLICY WONK ... California Gov. Jerry Brown has nominated Linda Thor, chancellor of the Foothill-De Anza Community College District, to the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. The commission supplies data and analysis to policymakers and also operates student exchange programs that allow tens of thousands of California students to attend participating colleges and universities in other states at 150 percent of resident tuition rather than out-of-state tuition.
MORE THAN A LIBRARY ... The Gunn High School library recently came out on top in a corporate competition, organized by educational products provider Follett Corp., to reward "the most innovative schools in the world." And innovation always equals the green stuff — Follett Corp. awarded the library the top prize of $60,000. Gunn librarian Meg Omainsky said she never expected to win the prize when she submitted a video describing her efforts to turn the library into an "interactive, technology-based hub for students who need space to design innovative projects and collaborate creatively with their peers."

This morning, I saw that a scan of my computer had identified and treated a high risk virus called Exploit.Win32.CVE-2010-2568.gen that supposedly was in c:\Documents and Settings\<me>\Application Data\Microsoft\Explorer\Quick Launch\Display.lnk ... I do not remeber having added such a link in this folder.
I clicked on the name of the virus to obtain more info, which sent me to the ZoneLabs web site where there was no information.
I put the name the name of virus in Google and found one post in the forum of Kseprsky's lab suggesting that this was a false positive (see http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php...&#entry1803443).
Any suggestion from members of the ZA forum ?

First good thing "Moonbeam" has done in his administration! Maybe he's looking for employees for his bullet train to nowhere. Ya think!

This is a great move by the Governor. But what happened to the state appointed mediator?

Tom Vacar was just on KGO saying it is 7 days only. The first delay was an '[agreement between' the two parties. Governor Brown still has never ask a judge to require a 60 day cooling off period.

The posters who refer to Gov. Brown as "Moonbeam" are stuck in the 70s
They are the same people who refer to lefties as "loons". Dumb.
Glad that Brown interceded in the BART strike. I am all for decent
wages and benefits for hard workers, but this union has it better
than most. They deserve increased safety measures, but they
already make more than other transit workers in California. Time
to settle. I am not sympathetic with this union.

The safety "issues" are just another ploy by the union to hold us all hostage. In fact, BART has safety meetings weekly with their members at which time ALL safety concerns can be raised by employees and addressed. To have the union now say there are safety concerns is only another dishonest attempt to take the emphasis off their unrealistic money demands. However, BART does need to replace the most antiquated major transit rolling stock and has precious little money to do so. In contrast to private enterprise that would save money for capital improvements, BART needs to do all it can to pay cash out of pocket because there's no routine reserve for capital equipment replacement reserve. This due in part to the cost of existing financial obligations due to wages and benefits which are totally out of line with any other transit system in California.

You sound like a very wise person who has given this matter a great deal of thought. I'm serious. Really.
After we abolish unions, what kind of socio-political order would we have, in your wise estimation? Please kindly spell out what your alternative political universe might look like. Would it, for example, be more democratic? Or are you, as you sound, against democracy as nothing more than a breeding ground for liberal loonyism?
Please edify us with your astute, perspicuous commentary.

After we abolish the unions we will have people who get paid according to merit, not longevity. The unions were needed in the 1940's but now we have so many government agencies dealing with worker safety and laws on the books to protect employees. Unions are out of date.
As per Dave, our equipment is way out of date in BART and needs replacing. We should have been saving money for replacement but instead the unions feel entitled to the money, so none of it goes into capital improvement. That is a crime. Safety concerns are just a way for the union to take the focus off of their real goal; more money.

Your inaccurate cliché about unions and merit doesn't quite answer my question, mm. Better hand things over to the erudite Dave who will give us the full explanation we asked for.

Advocating some form of sensibility among union members is not the same as advocating the abolishment of unions. Putting in place a law that makes strikes by transit workers illegal would bring to an end the ability to hold the public hostage to the whims of a specific union that is out of control. Many major cities already have in place laws that make strikes by transit workers illegal. New York has such a law in place. A strike is illegal under the provisions of an addition to New York State Civil Service Law called the Public Employees Fair Employment Act, more commonly called the Taylor Law. It prohibits municipal workers from striking and provides alternative means for dispute resolution. The law provides for criminal penalties including imprisonment of union officials, and fines against the union and individual striking workers. This certainly does not suggest that unions should arbitrarily be abolished, but rather brings some common sense into the mix, something sorely missing with the BART unions. In your posting I did not see anything that addressed my comments about the age of BART's equipment and their inability to reserve due to the union's demands for monetary gains that currently outstrip any other transit authority in the state of California. Also did not see any commentary from you regarding the fact that union members have the ability, i.e. responsibility, to surface safety issues in their weekly safety meetings. At this point perhaps you could "edify us with your astute perspicuous" comments on why you feel the BART union is justified on all their demands.

... Refuse all remaining unions the right to strike; by so doing, strip them of any leverage they might have as workers against capital and corporate control; by so doing, eliminate their effective voice from our political system. Hand all political voice over to corporations while, simultaneously, strip all progressive regulatory agencies of their oversight powers (see, for example, Republican models for so doing). Admit that the cozy relation between big business and government, sans unions, is, in fact, an embrace of fascism.
Thanks, Dave. You've got a really well thought out idea here. Keep up the good work! I'll continue to spell out the logic of your positions ... (Comments partially removed by Pleasanton Weekly Online staff for containing unverified or personal information.)

Unions members have a voice at the voting booth; there is no loss in the political system. As stated on the other topic, the majority of the working population does not belong to a union, yet we are still a democracy. Yell as you might, the sky is not falling Mr. Little.

The most powerful tool any person has in politics is exercised at the voting booth. I don't believe any of the ads from either side and the slick advertising and flyers in my mailbox hit the recycle bin without being read. There are plenty of ways to get factual information about candidates. And to save you typing time. no, not faux news.

Always interesting how one can continue to utter such drivel without explaining what justification there is for a public transit union to attempt to hold an entire area hostage to demands that far exceed any other transit system in the state. Juvenile remarks such as yours add no value to any conversation. Take the time to read links that have been posted by numerous others, and then try (again) to support your position with a well reasoned response rather than your typical drivel. Skip the comments directed at individuals and stay with known facts.

Sorry I had to put Kath Reugsegger in her place, Dave, but the superficial, hackneyed ideas she works with are too much for any reasonable person to stomach.
Keep voting, Dave. And just ignore all those corporate lobbyists who hang out in your representative's office. Because, as Kath says, your individual vote expresses as much power as does any high-priced lobbyist. She knows, because Abe Lincoln told her that.
A union without the right to strike is no union at all; for unions do not have the unlimited cash that corporations have, and so cannot compete on the cash-for-politician-in-your-pocket front. Instead, they use their bodies.
Without unions, a critical plank in our pluralist democracy goes by the wayside. Any upholder of democracy realizes how a democracy without unions becomes nothing more than a corporate democracy. Fascists like yourself and Kath desire this. As Kath states, your individual vote is at least as powerful as any corporate lobbying effort. And what would we be left with on her view? The citizens vote (increasingly less so if the fascist crowd gets its way), while corporations control.
You and Kath make up a good team, Dave. Keep up the great work, both of you!

"A union without the right to strike is no union at all. . ." Patently false; those unions already exist. Unions also have plenty of money for lobbying. Web Link
It would appear I was wrong. Dave and I and most voters have little hope of being heard over the roar of unions and other lobbying efforts. But, I'm going to vote just the same.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Aug 7, 2013 at 8:29 am
Yeah, let's just post another link and send it into the wind. Then Kath doesn't have to actually think through any idea of argument.
Yes, unions lobby. Good point Kathleen! Wow! But, of course, that is my point. Without unions, corporations win the day. Historically, unions have been counterbalance to corporations. What about Kath and Dave? They have no problem with uncontested corporate lobbying; for such is the stuff of fascism that they support (while not having the guts to admit their foolishness). No, they're worried about the 'roar' of unions. (Time out for laughter.)
Fact is, the political landscape is sculpted in the course of struggle between unions and corporations, unions and state administrative power. What Kath and Dave don't seem to realize is that WHAT they vote for as individuals is all too often that which emanates from the struggle. They seem to think the American system consists only of individuals -- oh, and corporations, but they're okay!
Unionized workers who do not have the right to strike are rendered toothless ... and ultimately voiceless as well. Historically, the right of workers to strike, to grieve under auspices of union protection, have been the only things standing between democracy and state-corporate fascism.
But Kath and Dave want to reduce the ... "roar" ... of unions because, well, I think we know why.

Really, do tell me why. Remember, you can't use the lie you consistently perpetuate as the explanation.
I already said I don't care if unions exist. What I do care about is their insistence their demands are reasonable, defiant tactics, strikes that prevent their own from earning a day's wages, ignorance of long term impacts to budgets, inability to use interest based bargaining, lack of comprehension of the burden on all taxpayers, the lack of opt out choices for those seeking work without belonging to the union, and, in this case, their riders. Additionally, there is an inexplicable assertion that wages for the work produced should continue to rise beyond the cost of living and have no correlation to the limits of what is required of the worker to perform the duties. There are also little sticklers like overtime isn't really income, free rides aren't income, the share of employee health care costs should not be subject to the same cost of living increases as wages, and pensions are income diversion but we want more income and not to contribute to said pensions.
Your sheep's clothing just fell off.

I'm sorry, I failed to add that BART union members have a built in COLA and their wages increase every year in the job (for at least the first five years, and assuming there is not a promotion to higher paying positions such as from "name that job" to foreperson).
I don't know why all these members don't just walk off the job immediately and into positions with better salaries and benefits.

"BART's total four-year proposal would cost the agency another $18.5 million. It includes 9 percent wage hikes and a 5 percent increase in employee pension contributions for current workers, while new employees would pay a slightly higher share.
"The rail line's two largest unions countered with a three-year deal totaling 21 percent pay bumps, including an 11.5 percent hike in the first year. Under the union's offer, any new pension contributions would be balanced out by corresponding wage increases, which would give employees a higher total pension once they retire. Their total contract, if extrapolated over four years for comparison purposes to BART's offer, would cost the rail line $117.8 million."

Double posting by Kath. Doesn't have her own words within a coherent view of the world; resorts to repetitive posting of articles from corporate media.

"BART, after the unions last week threatened to strike again, conceded its demand for employees to double the percentage of their current medical benefit contributions, to 10 percent. Instead, only employees with three or more dependents would pay more. Unions countered with a 5 percent annual increase to their medical premiums."
$4.60 a month.

Note Kath's uncritical use of the stats bandied about by the corporate-owned media. Truth is, the 'facts' (numbers) presented in the rag Kath cites have been presented by an accounting firm hired by BART management. Union's own accountants offer a different view. For example, Kath's newspaper citation uncritically uses BART management's claims about $100 million separating management from workers; the union's accountants, in contrast, claim $30 million separates the two parties.
That's why linksters like Kath who hold closeted fascist views shouldn't be trusted.

I see the liberal press is now corporate-owned media because they aren't backing the unions?
The figures that mattered to me were BART's 9% over four years and the union's 11.5% the first year with an additional 9.5% for the next three years. Stark and unrealistic difference. Oh, that and "which would give employees a higher total pension once they retire."

How is that Claude-Bob here and Mike Cherry elsewhere tag anyone who is not in complete agreement with BART union demands "fascist"?
Do unions believe that they, in addition to creating the ''middle class", are also the protectors of American democracy?
Given the compensation, benefits, pay structures, pensions, government protections, lobbying power and more, I think we need to call them the "11%ers".

A fine-dining restaurant in the nation's capital is featuring politically themed burgers in the run up to Election Day, and Mitt Romney's item includes a uniquely Utah treatment.
While Romney isn't from Utah, the chefs at BLT Steak in Washington make it appear so, topping an eight-ounce certified Angus beef burger with a "Utah-style pastrami stack," melted American cheese and topped with fry sauce, which every Beehive State resident knows is a mix of mayonnaise and ketchup.
While one could get a similar sandwich at Crown Burger for less than $10, the one at BLT Steak retails for $22.
For those non-Romney fans, the restaurant offers a Bi-Partisan burger as well as Red State and Blue State choices. The Blue State Burger, for the record, includes grass-fed beef, mushrooms, arugula, balsamic onion and Gorgonzola.
Romney pulls in more Utah dough • Utah continues to be a cash machine for Romney's presidential campaign with residents in the state forking out about $1 million in the past month.
Romney's Utah haul now tops $5.7 million this election period, about five times more than the $1.1 million that President Barack Obama has received from state residents, according to their latest filings with the Federal Election Commission.
The latest numbers top the amount Romney drew from Utahns during his failed 2008 presidential bid, when residents tossed about $5.4 million his way.
Huntsman PAC disbands • Jon Huntsman supporters launched Horizon PAC last year with the slogan "Maybe Someday," expressing the hope that someday there would be a new generation of leaders who would tackle the big issues.
That day appears to be over.
The Horizon PAC has officially dissolved itself as a political action committee in Utah, telling the state that it will "no longer be engaging in political activities."
The PAC can always reactivate and raise and spend funds again at some point, but the closing of the PAC also signals the Huntsman supporters had little use for a vehicle like that right now.
Zions Bank CEO Scott Anderson and PR guru Tim Riester were the duo behind the PAC, which was described as Huntsman's presidential "campaign in waiting," and used to pay vendors and staff of Huntsman's unsuccessful bid before he officially announced.
Anderson and Riester both tossed in $10,000 and Huntsman friend Dinesh Patel added another $5,000 to pay off legal and accounting fees before the officials zeroed out the PAC's account.
Apparently, some day for the Horizon PAC just didn't come.

McDonalds AA: Day 1 breakdownClick MORE: Here to view this Link. | McDonald's All-American Game RosterClick MORE: Here to view this Link.
MIAMI, Fla.- The McDonald's All American practices began Sunday in the brand new University of Miami practice facility. Amongst all the talented prospects participating in the game, Oklahoma signee Keith Gallon was one of the most impressive.
West Squad
Gallon, who insists on being called Tiny, has his game on another level since working and dieting himself into shape. Looking almost 100-pounds lighter than this summer, Gallon ran the floor as well as any big man on the West team, and had his way with the much skinnier John Henson in the post.
The big advantage for the west is in the backcourt. Top ten shooting guard prospect Avery Bradley stood out as the top guard in the practices. But his teammate Michael Snaer was right with him.
Abdul Gaddy will likely join Bradley in the starting backcourt for the West, with Tommy Mason-Griffin backing him up. Xavier Henry played small forward alongside Gaddy and Bradley.
Wally Judge was impressive playing the small forward position opposite of Henry. He made it extremely tough for Henry to get anything going on the offensive end, and then used his size to his advantage offensively.
Both Travis Wear and David Wear looked good on the offensive end, but it would be nice to see them not match up against each other in the next practices.
Mason Plumlee was productive on the offensive boards.
West coach Pat Clatchey had Gaddy, Bradley, Henry, D. Wear, Henson and Renardo Sidney working together on one squad. Mason-Griffin, Snaer, Judge, T. Wear, Gallon and Plumlee comprised the other squad.
East Squad
The imposing frontcourt of the East immediately stands out with No. 2 ranked DeMarcus Cousins, No. 4 ranked Derrick Favors and five-stars Milton Jennings, Ryan Kelly, Alex Oriakhi and Dante Taylor.
Favors impressed with his three-point shooting during drill work, and he also had a top notch left handed finish over Oriakhi during the scrimmage portion of the practice.
Cousins size and strength is a notch above the rest of the competition.
Oriakhi is a player you can count on to finish around the basket.
Taylor had a couple impressive conversions off offensive rebounds, and Kelly demonstrated his ability to create and finish scoring opportunities.
Dexter Strickland knocked down a couple impressive midrange jumpers.
Without a late arriving Lance Stephenson, the East practiced with Maalik Wayns, Kenny Boynton, Jennings, Kelly, Taylor on one squad. Peyton Siva, Dexter Strickland, Dominic Cheeks, DeMarcus Cousins and Derrick Favors on the other team. Alex Oriakhi took turns playing with both groups.
After thoughts
Look for the dunk contest to come down to a battle between Wally Judge and Peyton Siva.
Today was the grand opening of Miami's practice facility.
