The New Ford Bronco: Could it be True?
The rumors could be true. The new Ford Bronco may be real.
For years, fans of the Ford Bronco have begged and pleaded for a new version of the classic Bronco. Rumors surfaced in 2004 that Ford may have been working on a concept for release, but obviously that never happened.
Now in 2014, rumors are again surfacing that are leading people to believe that this time it might be real. Take a look at this video from CarsBestVideos2 and tell us whether you like the new concept or not.

Pictures released show two models: one a throwback to the original Bronco, and the second a modern body style. But both models come equipped with a modern engine and modern features. It definitely has me interested. I just hope this isn't another tease. I would love to see the Ford Bronco brought back to life.
What would you think of the new Ford Bronco? Would you buy one? Leave your comments in the comments section below.

Wellington: The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has reportedly demanded an apology for a report claiming that players in the Ashes series have been attempting to `cheat the Hot Spot technology by covering their bats with silicon tape.
According to Stuff.co.nz, the report, which has linked star England batsman Kevin Pietersen to the allegations, suggested that players were using silicone-based tape on the edges of their bats to avoid detection by the decision review system`s infra-red camera.
The report further said that ECB has demanded an explanation and an apology from the report, which has come from an Australian channel.
Slamming the accusations, England fast bowler and Durham local Graham Onions , who is hoping to force his way into the side for the fourth Test at Chester-le-Street, said that the accusation is not right and is `crazy` as none of England`s players would use anything on their bats to potentially cover up any nicks.
However, Onions also said that players use tape to heal cracks on their bats or try to keep their favourite bat for as long as possible if they have one, adding that he felt sorry for Pietersen that his name has been dragged into the allegations.
According to the report, Pietersen, who was controversially given out caught behind in the second innings at Old Trafford, despite a nick not showing up on Hot Spot when he reviewed, was indirectly accused of cheating by the Australian report.
The report however added that the laws of cricket state that tape and other non-solid materials can be used to protect, strengthen and repair the bat, including the edges, which could include using liquids and tapes.

The boys were playing at a neighbor's house. Cate was taking a late afternoon nap. I looked outside and noticed the sky growing dark. I texted the neighbor to send Dillon and Blake home. Then it started pouring.
"Never mind." I texted again. "I'll get them when it passes."
Then Shawn texted. "On my way home. Rain on 526." 526 is always backed up. Adding rain makes it worse.
Then, the neighbor texted this:
Blake had fallen asleep--mid play--on her floor.
I sat on the couch, opened my laptop, as lightning popped and thunder cracked. Hail slapped the roof and the windows, and it sounded like someone was twisting sheets of bubble wrap. Very loud bubble wrap.
Then, the power went out. I lost my internet connection, so I grabbed my phone and turned on the app that creates a wifi hotspot, unfazed. Moments alone are so few and far between, I was not going to be deterred by an afternoon thunderstorm.
Then, my mom called.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Yes, why?"
"I think you're in a tornado warning."
I got up, opened the front door and stood in the doorway, looking at the sky. The street was starting to flood. Mom turned the television up so I could hear the meteorologists through the phone. There were two, tag-teaming and watching the radar. They said a possible funnel cloud had been spotted near a neighborhood just a couple of miles from mine. I might have said a few curse words. I was seconds away from running upstairs, pulling Cate out of the crib, running back downstairs and hiding in the coat closet. Or the powder room? Where should I go? My boys were down the street. My husband was on the interstate.
I heard my stepdad in the background. "It's moving south," he said.
Exhale. The storm was moving away from us.
Minutes later, the rain subsided. Shawn pulled into the driveway. I heard the boys running around, and then they burst inside. "Blake! You're awake!" I cheered. They were starving, and I opened the freezer to grab the chicken nuggets, forgetting the power was out.
"It's okay," Shawn said, "I'll fire up the grill."
We went outside, and Shawn cooked salmon and dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets. He Instagrammed his work.
We had dinner outside, and then another neighbor walked over and said everyone was at another neighbors' house at the end of the cul-de-sac. Cate was now awake, and I was glad she was rested because we were apparently missing a party.
We decided to walk down. I wasn't wearing shoes. I decided it didn't matter.
And there, we gathered on the porch until long after dark, getting bitten by mosquitoes, talking, passing the time and waiting for street lights that never came on.
We finally left sometime after 10:30, and when we got home, we lit candles and sat them on the mantle. I put Cate to bed, and when I got back downstairs, Shawn, Blake and Dillon had already fallen asleep on the couches. I left them there and crawled into bed.
I woke up at 2:30 am. Every light in the house was on, apparently from flipping switches because we kept forgetting the power was out. The air conditioner started--a comforting hum--and I had to force myself to get out of bed and turn off the lights.
The next day, I texted the neighbor who had hosted the impromptu candlelight gathering. "Thanks for the hospitality last night. I'm glad we crashed your porch!"
"That was pure pleasure!" she replied. "We enjoyed it and I think it lets us know that we can rely and depend on each other."
I smiled to myself, because she had given me the perfect ending to the story I'm telling. So I wrote back, "Indeed! You know I'm going to blog about that, right?"
One of the best summer nights so far.

Jeff Jacoby is a right-wing columnist whose opinions regularly appear in The Boston Globe. Like the work of The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin and the Los Angeles Times's Jonah Goldberg, his columns give every indication that he was an affirmative-action hire, one of myriad attempts to satisfy the constant whining about alleged liberal bias in the mainstream media—"working the refs," in professional parlance. In recent years, editors have been hiring more and more such pundits merely to fill a quota of "conservatives," despite an obvious deficit of talent with regard to thinking, writing, or reporting.
Ordinarily, these second-stringers might aspire to become editor of the conservatives' stalwart opinion magazine, National Review. In a recent column honoring its 60th birthday, Jacoby described the occasion as "a milestone not just for a magazine, but for an ongoing commitment to the conviction that ideas matter, and that good writing can change lives." Sadly, neither Jacoby nor Rubin nor Goldberg would have been considered for the magazine's editorship. That job, as founder and longtime editor William F. Buckley Jr. once explained, could only be filled by a "believing Christian." All three are Jews and therefore disqualified by birth.
Nobody mentions this fact in the anniversary issue that so impressed Jacoby, but there are a great many impressive aspects of NR's history on display nevertheless. For instance, Elliott Abrams (another potential editor disqualified by birth), writing about Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon, asks: "How could sane men commit such vast crimes, decade after decade? How could a Party that proclaimed its responsibilities to History and the improvement of Man maintain the loyalties even of those whom it was crushing mercilessly?" How ironic, therefore, that the man asking this question worked tirelessly in the Reagan administration to ensure that Guatemala's mass-murdering dictator, Efraín Ríos Montt, could continue his genocidal campaigns unimpeded by evidence presented by numerous human-rights groups at the time. (He was later convicted of "crimes against humanity" by the Guatemalan courts.)
Another entry in the "how ironic" sweepstakes comes from Charles Murray, the famous purveyor of racist pseudoscience that was based in part on the eugenics research of Nazi sympathizers. Apparently unaware that he's contributing to a "conservative" magazine, Murray writes as if he is ready to overthrow the US government. "The federal government is no longer 'us' but 'them,'" he explains. "It is no longer an extension of the people through their elected representatives." He goes on to propose a program of "systematic civil disobedience" to undermine "a federal government that has fully earned our distrust."
To give an idea of just how hermetically sealed is the NR ideological bubble—and perhaps how overworked its editors and fact-checkers (if they have them) must be—you can also find a contribution from the armchair warrior Victor Davis Hanson insisting that opinion polls demonstrate that "outsider presidential candidates such as Donald Trump, Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina may represent about half the country." For this to be accurate, one would have to assume that the number of potential Republican primary voters— a minuscule minority of unusually motivated, often ill-informed individuals—is equivalent to the entire US population. In 2012, 9.4 million Americans voted in the Republican primaries; the population was about 314 million.

This story first appeared at The Media Consortium.
More than two years after the collapse of Bear Stearns, the House and Senate finally ironed out their differences on Wall Street reform in the wee, small hours of Friday morning. The bill now goes back to both the House and Senate for final approval, but it's fate in the Senate is uncertain following the defection of Tea Partier Scott Brown of Massachusetts.
The resulting bill has several things going for it, but largely misses the critical structural lessons of the Great Financial Crash of 2008. As Wall Street continues to score epic profits and grotesque bonuses over the coming months, progressives must be committed to continuing the fight for a fair economy.
Megabanks intact
As Andy Kroll explains for Mother Jones, the bill essentially lets too-big-to-fail banks off the hook. Megabanks like J.P. Morgan Chase and Citigroup will not be broken up into smaller institutions that could fail safely, nor will they be required to exit many of their most reckless business ventures. One of the most promising reforms still on the table as Congress moved on the bill was a plan to ban banks from gambling with taxpayer money—and Congressional leaders sabotaged it at the last minute.
As Tim Ferhnolz notes for The American Prospect, instead of strengthening the bill by negotiating with committed reformists like Democratic senators Maria Cantwell, and Russ Feingold, Senate leadership chose to cut a deal with Tea Party favorite Scott Brown. Brown's price? Allowing banks to gamble by running their own proprietary hedge funds. After Senate negotiators gave Brown what he wanted, he suddenly reversed his support for the bill on Saturday morning.
Derailed by infighting
Essentially, petty interpersonal spats overwhelmed the push for real reform. Cantwell and Feingold's objections to the legislation were correct so far as policy substance were concerned, and Cantwell always made clear that her vote could be won by simply closing a huge loophole in the bill. But after the two Democrats voted against the bill for being unnecessarily weak on the Senate floor, Senator Chris Dodd simply shut them both out of the negotiation process. This would be funny, if it weren't true.
Brown had already proved his ability to go back on his word with Senate negotiators just a few weeks prior. He was a committed "yes" vote when the bill went to the Senate floor, but unexpectedly reversed his position at the last minute, causing the legislation to fail the first time it came up for a vote. But instead of trying to cut a deal with progressives, Dodd decided to roll the dice again with Brown, and the legislation now finds itself in limbo, with Senate approval uncertain.

Roy Hodgson lasted just six months at Liverpool after being preferred to the Kop legend, eventually succumbing to the campaign to have Dalglish reinstated.
Although that was undoubtedly a consequence of a poor start to his reign, to suggest Hodgson ever had the full backing of Liverpool's supporters requires a stretch of the imagination.
Rodgers, a far more engaging appointment and one who has already shown he is tune with the Kop's demand for attractive football, is unlikely to suffer in the same way.
However, he will be aware sections of Liverpool's support felt Dalglish deserved more time, while others still crave the return of Rafa Benítez, whose highly politicised final seasons at the club meant he was never considered for the job by Fenway Sports Group.
Rodgers has not shied away from the issue, suggesting results and performances will determine how swiftly and for how long he is accepted.
"I know there are three types of supporters at every club," he said. "Number one is those who, no matter who the manager is, they love their club and they will love their manager because Liverpool is their life and their passion. The second group is supporters who will accept you but to earn their real respect you will have to be successful. That's fine.
"The third group are the critics and you never change them ever. Ever. If you win 4-0 it should have been five, if you win the league you should have won three. I will never worry about that group because you can never affect them.
"I only want to work with the people who love the club. I have always had good relations with the media and with the supporters. I'm open and honest. I understand that not everybody will want me here. But that's part of the dance."
Dalglish offered a dignified response to Rodgers' appointment, congratulating the Northern Irishman on Twitter.
Rodgers says he want his predecessor to remain a frequent visitor to Anfield and would not see this as a threat to his authority.
"I have the ultimate respect for Kenny Dalglish," he said. "My door is always open for Kenny Dalglish. This is his home. As the chairman said, he is the heart and soul of this club. His love for this club is unrivalled.
"He is the best player in the history of this club. This guy is a legend in the game and here at Liverpool Football Club.
"But what I know is history judges you as a manager and hopefully in time people will look back at what I have achieved here and I can walk beside these people. But there is no way I can try and overtake someone like Kenny Dalglish.
"All I can do is be myself. That is all I've ever tried to be; to be a student of the game, to be the very best I could. That has helped me make a meteoric rise but, because of my work, I've been able to get the opportunities."

Impressive Results Of The 2011 Crocodile Trophy Race
The 2011 Crocodile Trophy attracted competitors from all over the world. After Urs Huber dropped out of the race, Jeroen Boelen had a clear path to the finish line and was willing to give it all in the hot outback sun.
Jeroen Boelen confirms his supremacy and is the overall winner of the 2011 Crocodile Trophy. After winning five of the ten stages, there's no doubt that the 33-year-old rider deserved to win the 17th Crocodile Trophy.
After 1200 kilometers across the rainforests and outback of North Queensland he finished with almost an hour's lead of Austrians Wofgang Krenn and Josef Benedseder. However, the competition could have played out differently, if main challenger Urs Huber from Switzerland hadn't dropped out on the eve of the 9th stage.
Jeroen Boelen is a successful former road rider and his mountain bike career has now just begun. Earlier this year he finished, with Bart Brentjens, 7th in the Cape Epic.
"This victory is so important for me and for the team," said winner Boelen. "The Crocodile Trophy has a big name in mountain bike community. It is important for my sponsors too. Without sponsors we have no sport. I am glad I can give them this victory."
Boelen raced very consistently for ten days long and claimed his moment of honor in the 4th stage. It would not be his last victory of the race.
"I think I am more talented as a road rider, but I needed a new challenge," explained Boelen.
Boelen won Stage 5 and 6. It was in that 189 kilometer 6th stage that he took the leader's jersey. Huber looked unbeatable, but broke that day. Like most of the riders that day, Huber punctured, but he also ran out of energy in the hot outback of Queensland.
In the last stage of the 2011 Crocodile Trophy, the Austrians and the Darrell Lea guys fought it out, but Jeroen Boelen came through victorious.

Carbon fullerenes
Carbon fullerenes (also termed C60, Buckminsterfullerene, or buckyballs) [...] describe 60 linked carbon atoms in a highly stable icosahedron, consisting of 60 vertices and 32 (12 pentagonal and 20 hexagonal) faces. Consequently, carbon fullerenes have a spherical cage-like structure and have a diameter of about 1 nm and thus can be defined as a nanomaterial. Fullerene production can occur naturally as they can be released from combustion processes such as forest fires. Alternatively, there has been an increase in the intentional production of fullerenes due to the realization that novel exploitable properties are exhibited by materials that contain "nano" dimensions (< 100 nm), and as a result, the use of C60 is being considered for drug delivery and recently within a number of cosmetic products, such as face creams. Fullerenes therefore conform to the definition of a nanomaterial, whereby they contain a dimension of less than 100 nm, which gives rise to unique novel properties to enable their exploitation within numerous applications.
Aschberger K, Johnston HJ, Stone V, Aitken RJ, Tran CL, Hankin SM, Peters SAK, Christensen FM, 2010. Review of fullerene toxicity and exposure – a human health risk assessment appraisal based on open literature. Regul Toxicol Pharmacol 58(3):455-473. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.yrtph.2010.08.017
Buckminsterfullerene is a spherical molecule with the formula C60. It was first prepared in 1985 by Harold Kroto, James Heath, Sean O'Brien, Robert Curl and Richard Smalley at Rice University. Kroto, Curl, and Smalley were awarded the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their roles in the discovery of buckminsterfullerene and the related class of molecules, the fullerenes. The name is an homage to Richard Buckminster Fuller, whose geodesic domes it resembles. Buckminsterfullerene was the first fullerene molecule discovered and it is also the most common in terms of natural occurrence, as it can be found in small quantities in soot.

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - The person sitting in the next pew at your church could be carrying a concealed weapon if a local lawmaker has his way.
State Representative Ron Maag, (R) Lebanon, has introduced a bill that would allow concealed weapons in churches, in daycares, on private planes and in government buildings.
Concealed weapons would still be banned in airports, schools and police stations.
Reverend Rick Groover, who pastors Celebration Church in Mason, says he supports concealed carry.
Groover, who is licensed to carry a firearm, says guns provide security in the hands of responsible people.
"I would rather be somewhere with responsible people who are carrying than be in a place that somebody who is going to do wrong knows that they could come into and there not be anybody with a weapon," said Groover.
Groover also says those who carry a concealed weapon need to have proper training.
"You don't just go to a shooting range and see if you can shoot and be accurate," said Groover. "A lot of the day is spent dealing with legalities and what you can do. It's not the right to do anything you want to do; it's the right to do right."
In our commitment to balanced news FOX19 reached out to the Reverend Pete Mingo of Christ Temple Baptist Church in Walnut Hills who says he is opposed to having guns in his church.
"I don't feel that a house of worship should be a place where, you know, someone sitting across from you with a weapon. I don't think our situation has gotten that drastic," said Reverend Mingo.
Mingo says churches don't need to be entirely defenseless.
"Most churches I know where they have some form of security for the taking up of offerings or whatever, but as far as needing guns in a place of worship I don't think so, even in daycare," said Mingo.
Mingo has worked with the Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence known as CIRV and he has seen firsthand how gun violence affects the community.

It began to be perceptible in the late 1960s, and was certainly recognized in the 1970s, that the intermix of frontier imagery, popular culture expectations, and Cold War concerns was beginning to break-down. This was true across broad swaths of American culture, but it was also very apparent when it came to understanding the history of spaceflight. First, the construct of the frontier as a positive image of national character and of the progress of democracy has been challenged on all quarters and virtually rejected as a useful ideal in American postmodern, multicultural society.
Western historian Patricia Nelson Limerick, for one, has argued that the frontier myth, used as a happy metaphor by many, should be seen as a pejorative reflection. She argued that it denotes conquest of place and peoples, exploitation without environmental concern, wastefulness, political corruption, executive misbehavior, shoddy construction, brutal labor relations, and financial inefficiency. Limerick suggested that when the old western American frontier is conjured as an image that NASA is seeking to advance into space that someone from the space agency should punch the speaker "for insulting the organization's honor. It's a wonder no one—no shuttle pilot, mission coordinator, mechanic, or technician—said, 'Now cut that out–we may have our problems, but it's nowhere near that bad'."
Conservative politicians became the bearers of the frontier mythology increasingly used to justify the space program as the Cold War slipped away, while liberals grew increasingly restless with the exploitation and oppression that the frontier myth seemed to imply.
NASA leaders have largely ignored the negative images conjured up in an increasing number of Americans minds by the metaphor of the frontier. For all their hard-headed practicality, for all their understanding of science and technology, they have been caught up in frontier allusion even to the present. For instance, James C. Fletcher, NASA Administrator between 1971 and 1977 and again between 1986 and 1989 commented:
History teaches us that the process of pushing back frontiers on Earth begins with exploration and discovery is followed by permanent settlements and economic development. Space will be no different. . . . Americans have always moved toward new frontiers because we are, above all, a nation of pioneers with an insatiable urge to know the unknown. Space is no exception to that pioneering spirit.
Astronaut, then senator, John Glenn captured some of this same tenor in 1983 when he summoned images of the American heritage of pioneering and argued that the next great frontier challenge was in space. "It represents the modern frontier for national adventure. Our spirit as a nation is reflected in our willingness to explore the unknown for the benefit of all humanity, and space is a prime medium in which to test our mettle."
The image of the frontier, however, has been a less and less acceptable and effective metaphor as the twentieth century became the twenty-first century. Progressives have come to view the space program from a quite different perspective. To the extent that space represents a new frontier, it conjures up images of commercial exploitation and the subjugation of oppressed peoples. Implemented through a large aerospace industry, in their view, it appears to create the sort of governmental-corporate complexes of which liberals are increasingly wary.
Despite the promise that the Space Shuttle, like jet aircraft, would make space flight accessible to the "common man," space travel remains the province of a favored few, perpetuating inequalities rather than leveling differences. They also assert that space exploration has also remained largely a male frontier, with room for few minorities.
In the eyes of progressives, space perpetuates the inequities that they have increasingly sought to abolish on Earth. As a consequence, it is not viewed favorably by those caught up in what political scientist Aaron Wildavsky has characterized as "the rise of radical egalitarianism." The advent of this liberal philosophy coincides with the shift in ideological positions on the U.S. space program in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The frontier metaphor has continued to inform space policy to the present. "The compulsion to know the unknown built our nation," one NASA official had said in 1982. "That instinct drove Lewis and Clark to press across the uncharted continent." Fletcher accepted the argument of a Space Station as the next step in exploration. Like the image of the pioneer settlement or army post on the American frontier, the Space Station offered a haven from the rigors of the "wilderness" and a jumping off point for forays into the unknown. This same metaphor found ready expression in the present-day effort to develop the Space Exploration Initiative to return to the Moon—this time to establish a permanent colony—and to go on to Mars.
In tandem with the metaphorical frontier of the nineteenth century, NASA also subscribed to an intellectual frontier that fostered scientific activities.
James Fletcher's comparison of the Space Shuttle to the railroad of more than a century earlier was perhaps a more appropriate, and more negative, image of the frontier than he would have liked to admit. The western railroad and the Space Shuttle both engendered intense economic contests, lucrative contracts, and "no-holds barred" political struggles for primacy and perquisites. Indicative of this reality of the frontier experience in regard to the Shuttle, if not to the myth, Fletcher fell victim to the political pressures of individuals and groups who wanted him to use his office to further the economic well-being of his intermountain region and the people of his religion.
Fletcher, for example, tried unsuccessfully to keep regional politics out of the contract decision process for the solid rocket booster for the Space Shuttle. In 1973 he had to write a stinging rebuke to Utah Senator Frank E. Moss about improprieties in how a member of the Senator's staff was trying to influence the contract decision in favor of a Utah firm. Eventually, Fletcher agreed to award the solid rocket booster contract to Utah's Morton Thiokol, in no small part because of the political efforts of Frank Moss. It was modern playing of an old western story of political interests and western concerns.
For the space program, as for the earlier experience, the frontier myth presents in a cyclical form the essence of what Americans want to believe about themselves. There are four basic stages of this cycle. The stages come together in the end to create a Panglossian "best of all possible worlds." The first stage is a separation from civilization. In earlier eras colonists left Europe for America or departed the settled East for the "Wild West." Now they will leave the Earth and move to a space station or a Moon base.
Second, there is a regression into a form of order that is something less than what had been known in the previous civilization. Frontiersmen had to learn to live in the new environment in which the ideas and even the tools they had mastered in civilization were no longer applicable. Like Jeremiah Johnson in the Robert Redford movie, the frontier taught hard lessons about life and death, survival and freedom. If these were not well received, there would be no success on the frontier. At the same time, the people who participated in the process were changed forever. The space program has a similar learning experience—how to stay alive in a vacuum, how to deal with weightlessness, etc.—and almost none of the lessons learned on earlier American frontiers are transferrable to the new environment of space. If we move outward, we will indeed evolve in the process. For instance, will humans born at a Moon colony, with its 1/6 gravity, be able to function on Earth any longer? An open question, to be sure, but one not unlike Europeans faced with the first settlements in America. Will some future Crevacour ask the question, "what is this new man" (or not to be sexist, this new person), this Lunatic (Moon dweller).
Third, conflict is a central and peculiar feature of frontiering, as Americans struggle against seemingly overwhelming forces seeking to wipe them out. The conflict in the American West was most often played out as humans against environment and as Euro-American against aborigines. In space it is humans against the environment, but it is certainly not at all unlikely that humans will encounter other life in space. The contact of cultures in the frontier was almost always bloody, and I suspect the same would be true in space as well.
The final stage is progress, a step toward some better future. In many instances these have been utopian in outlook. Many earlier Americans saw the frontier as a re-enactment and democratic renewal of the original "social contract," together with the creation of personal virtue and collective good. This progress ultimately redeems the nation. Futurists view space exploration in the same way, and it has been played out in that way in many a space movie and science fiction novel. Whether this frontier experience actually holds such promise is an open question.
As a final point, I would like to suggest that the frontier myth is an incomplete but uniquely understandable way of looking at the space program. From the beginning of the space age the U.S. effort has been motivated by essentially three priorities. The first was Cold War rivalries with the Soviet Union and the desire to demonstrate the technological superiority of a democratic state over a communist dictatorship. The second was the lure of discovery of the unknown. The third was adventure. The first priority, oriented toward national security, has ceased to be important in this post-Cold War era. But the second and third priorities lie at the heart of the frontier myth and are still just as attractive as they were more than 40 years ago at the creation of NASA.

Bracket Highlighter is a fork of pyparadigm's SublimeBrackets and SubimeTagmatcher merged together. I never intended this fork to be anything more than me fixing a couple of things, but then it took on a life of its own.
There are a number improvements to the functionality of the originals and new features:
Customizable debounce and search thresholds to ensure the plugin doesn't get bogged down in big files
Matches tags; brackets: (), ], <>, {}; and quotes: single and double (uses string scope)
Ability to blacklist or whitelist languages from matching specific brackets, tags, quotes
Ability to turn off matching compeletly off for any bracket, quote, or tag
On demand shortcut to override search threshold and search until the match is made no matter how far it must search
Highlight styles: colored blocks, colored outline, or colored underline
Highlight entire Tag or just the brackets of a tag
Show line count and character count between blocks when using on demand shortcut
Settings are tweakable in the settings file
Settings file and keymap files are accessible from the menu
Bracket plugins: (this might sound silly to have plugins inside a plugin, but it is actually useful)
Plugins:BracketHighlighter does the work of finding matching brackets, tags, and quotes. Bracket plugins allows you to leverage this work to find the regions without having to duplicate the logic in other plugins. Plugins can be dropped into the BracketHighlighter folder, or dropped in their own plugin folder (I may separate plugins into their own repo in the future).
Current plugins:
All of these default plugins come bound to shortcuts (there are so many shortcuts in ST2 that I did the best I could, if you don't like the shortcuts, feel free to change them and bind them to ones that make sense for you. If you don't like some of the plugins, you can toss them and remove the shortcut.).
The repo is here: BracketHighlighter
Feel free to let me know what you think; good or bad. Make suggestions or anything else.
Great stuff! Don't forget to submit your repo to Package Control (firstname.lastname@example.com) so it can be installed that way.
You can manually add the repo URL through Package Control so it's not really an issue, though it would be nice to have the exposure through the official channel.
Yeah, it is on my list of things to do. Getting pretty busy at work right now, but I hope to get it going by the end of this week or next.
BracketHighlighter is now on Package Control, but you cannot install because the repo for some reason is now flaking out on "download repo as zip". Not sure what is going on because I used the feature earlier today. I am trying to figure out what is going on. Hopefully github has reasonable support, or maybe it is something that will resolve itself with a little time.
Should now be work on package control. Not sure what the issue was, but it works now.
Having trouble with the plugin at the moment. It seems to not be able to read the settings correctly. True on both Mac and Linux. Couldn't figure it out offhand.
Have you restarted after installing? It seems a good restart after first install is usually what it needs. After that you can tweak the settings and they will immediately take place. I personally use it on Windows and Linux, so I have tested it works on both.
Let me know if you are still having issues after a restart.
I have actually seen similar behavior before with other plugins...usually ones that have multiple files. I think it has to do with the fact that as each file is added during install to the ST2 path, if the other dependency has not yet been copied, that file errors out, and after the dependency is copied, the original file that failed does not reload; therefore, after install, you need to restart so that all files will be reloaded with all in place.
Yea, seems like a restart on the Mac seemed to do the trick. Will have to try the Linux version later. Will report back.
Nice work, loving this plugin! Is there any way to modify the color?
Yeah, you can open up the setting file and change the color. The color is based on the scope you assign to the highlight. By default it is "entity.name.class", but you could change it to "keyword" or any other scope in your theme.
//Scope? (Defined in theme files.) ->
//Examples: (keyword/string/number)
"quote_scope" : "entity.name.class",
"curly_scope" : "entity.name.class",
"round_scope" : "entity.name.class",
"square_scope": "entity.name.class",
"angle_scope" : "entity.name.class",
"tag_scope" : "entity.name.class",
If you want more control of the color, you can add your own scope to your current theme file and tweak to any color you would like.
<string>Bracket Tag</string>
<string>Bracket Curly</string>
<string>Bracket Round</string>
<string>Bracket Square</string>
<string>Bracket Angle</string>
<string>Bracket Quote</string>
This would allow you to do this:
//Scope? (Defined in theme files.) ->
//Examples: (keyword/string/number)
"quote_scope" : "bracket.quote",
"curly_scope" : "bracket.curly",
"round_scope" : "bracket.round",
"square_scope": "bracket.square",
"angle_scope" : "bracket.angle",
"tag_scope" : "bracket.tag",
Added Fold by Brackets, and** Swap Brackets** plugin to Bracket Highlighter.
Fold by Brackets:Fold code block by brackets opposed to ST2's indention method. I will include this until ST2 supports fold by brackets natively.
Swap Brackets:Use shortcut, or command to bring up a quick panel to select a bracket type to change current matched bracket(s) to. Works with multi-select.
Just installed this package yesterday and I love it. Helps bring a bit more color while providing a functional use.
A minor annoyance is how using the 'solid' outline style makes it a bit difficult to see the cursor, especially with the default bright-yellow quote-bracket color. Switching to the "outline" style mostly relieves the issue, though.
That said, great product, many thanks!
The plugin is very configurable; I personally use underline with a bold color that stands out. The default color is based on the colors in your theme, but you can get better control of the colors; just check out the readme of the plugin, and it will tell you how to change colors, etc.
Glad you like it.
Hi, thank you for your nice package! One question - is there a way to change color for highlight border? with option "underline" and "outline" color applies to border and it's fine but type "solid" doesn't give a way to define border color
Unfortunately no. The api doesn't even allow me to directly set the color of the region; I instead specify a scope, and that scope must be defined in the color scheme file. This is the description from the Sublime Text 2 API (this is the command I use to create the colored regions).
add_regions(key, [regions], scope, <icon>, <flags>) None
Add a set of regions to the view. If a set of regions already exists with the given key, they will be overwritten. The scope is used to source a color to draw the regions in, it should be the name of a scope, such as "comment" or "string". If the scope is empty, the regions won't be drawn.
The optional icon name, if given, will draw the named icons in the gutter next to each region. The icon will be tinted using the color associated with the scope. Valid icon names are dot, circle, bookmark and cross.
The optional flags parameter is a bitwise combination of:
sublime.DRAW_EMPTY. Draw empty regions with a vertical bar. By default, they aren't drawn at all.
sublime.HIDE_ON_MINIMAP. Don't show the regions on the minimap.
sublime.DRAW_EMPTY_AS_OVERWRITE. Draw empty regions with a horizontal bar instead of a vertical one.
sublime.DRAW_OUTLINED. Draw regions as an outline, rather than filled in.
sublime.PERSISTENT. Save the regions in the session.
sublime.HIDDEN. Don't draw the regions.
hi faceless XDi want to change the icon to mark the line in whic we have the bracket....where do u take the icons?
I add the icons via the API discussed a couple of posts up. This is from the description of the API method "add_regions":
The optional icon name, if given, will draw the named icons in the gutter next to each region. The icon will be tinted using the color associated with the scope. Valid icon names are dot, circle, bookmark and cross.
You will notice though the cross never gets tinted, this is a problem with the API. You can maybe hunt down the icon in the theme and change it; that might work. I don't think you add new ones because I think the API only look for those specific 4.

Citizen Girl
A NovelBook - 2004

From the first pages, the speech and satiric characterization is so biting and precise that it's scary to think that, not only do people like this exist, but they have POWER. The main character, Girl, wrestles with integrity vs money vs happiness vs money vs neurotic/psychotic employers vs hope in her vaguely-defined, rebound position at the opportunistic, shape-shifting My Company. The language, slang, and jargon are used perfectly as she stumbles through post-grad existence. Occasionally light but mostly bleak, this book is deftly written and surely draws on personal experience; imagination alone can't come up with some of these scenarios.
A lot of foul language, flippant tone, way too much slang: whatever message the author might be trying to get across about the difficulties of 20-somethings establishing themselves in careers gets lost in the attempts to be "hip", "cool" or "with it". The constant swearing reveals a distinctly limited vocabulary and a very crude sense of "humour".
I think its so odd that this book got such low ratings!
It was funny, and had a solid story. I really enjoyed it, and more than once my husband would walk in to me giggling while reading this book.
I knew I had read this book at one point, but could not remember anything about it. I guess I blocked it from my memory because it was so bad!
Terrible book. I normally read a bad book all the way through; however, I wanted to throw this one through the window from Chapter 2 onwards.
Badly written, characters not developped, very confusing in terms of who is speaking and what is going on...and that is all before page 44.
Pass on it.
I have to agree with AdrienneC. The authors of this book and the Nanny Diaries need to take some time to learn to fully develop characters and stop calling everyone Girl or Mr. X.
While I understand what the authors are trying to do by calling the main character Girl the whole way through, it makes it that much harder to relate to the character. A name always allows me to create a picture of the character as I am reading. "Girl" did not help me develop this picture.
Pass on this novel.
Disappointing. Twentysomething New York transplant goes from abusive employer in her chosen field (feminist non-profit organization) to abusive employer in the high-tech industry, given the task of rebranding a fluffy girly-girl site to appeal to the Ms. Magazine set. At least, that''s what she thinks she''s originally supposed to do... her bosses change her job description and duties more often than their underwear. I found myself alternately distressed about and furious with the main character, Girl, as the book progressed... but I did read through to the end to see how things came out. Like the authors'' other work, THE NANNY DIARIES, the book bogs down after a promising opening; unlike THE NANNY DIARIES, CITIZEN GIRL bogs down almost immediately into a vortex of despair.

Most stocks broadly reflect a combination of their underlying company's current value and future prospects. As that value and those prospects evolve over time, so does a stock's price.
Biotech stocks aren't "most stocks," however.
In the world of biotech, a stock's value is largely dependent on the success or failure of one particular drug. That's why biotech stocks are notorious for soaring or plunging in just one day — because one announcement can instantaneously make or break a stock's value.
Of course, if you're in the right side of the news, a quick fortune can be made.
With that in mind, here are five biotech stocks with catalytic decisions or news scheduled for the near-term future.
The next-to-last step in bringing a drug all the way through the FDA's maze is a review by an FDA advisory committee. This committee doesn't make the final decision, but it does recommend an approval or a rejection, and the Food & Drug Administration generally heeds the advice.
Relistor, from Progenics (PGNX), for opioid-induced constipation, will be scrutinized by the appropriate advisory committee on March 10-11. A constipation treatment might not seem like much of a game-changer for Progenics. This market is surprisingly large, however. See, one of the relatively common side effects of pain-relieving opioids is — you guessed it — constipation.
Some believe Relistor could generate nearly $300 million in various milestones for Progenics.
Celldex Therapeutics
There's no firm date that Celldex Therapeutics (CLDX) is going to update the market on the progress it has made with its dense deposit disease treatment, CDX-1135, currently in Phase 2 testing. It's just supposed to happen next month.
Whenever it happens, though, it should be big.
Dense deposit disease is a very rare kidney disease that ultimately causes kidney failure for most of its sufferers. That's because there's no existing treatment for it. If Celldex looks like it could be the first to bring such a treatment to the market, CLDX stock could soar on the news.
Indeed, CLDX could be one of the biggest movers among biotech stocks for the first quarter of 2014.
Sarepta Therapeutics
If you like long shots and can stomach some risk, then you might want to put Sarepta Therapeutics (SRPT) in your portfolio.
Sarepta Therapeutics is the company that developed eteplirsen — a drug under investigation for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It shows a lot promise, and there was even some speculation that the company would seek the FDA's approval just with its Phase 2 trial results, and completely skip the usually required Phase 3 testing (shortening the development time by years).
Once the market was told by the FDA in November that the administration wasn't interested in an early review of eteplirsen, however, SRPT stock tanked, falling from $36 to $13 in just one day.
Here's the problem … the FDA never said it would refuse to consider an early approval of eteplirsen. One of several explanatory letters the FDA's Catherine Chew wrote stated, "FDA has reached no conclusions about the possibility of using accelerated approval for any new drug for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and for eteplirsen in particular."
Now, don't get your hopes up, as this isn't to say Sarepta is going to be allowed to skip Phase 3 trials. Indeed, the FDA rarely allows a biotech company to skip an entire phase of testing, and Sarepta Therapeutics doesn't look like it's going to be an exception to the norm either.
If the FDA is going to make a generous decision on the matter, though, its apt to happen within the next few weeks … at the most. At the very least, this will make SRPT stock one of the most-watched biotech stocks of Q1.
Chelsea Therapeutics
Chelsea Therapeutics (CHTP) just got Northera through the hurdle of the Advisory Panel, and the recommendation to the FDA has CHTP set to open Wednesday trading up 160%.
However, the FDA will make its final decision on the neurogenic hypotension treatment on Feb. 14, and despite the fact that Northera had been granted priority review, that's certainly no guarantee the FDA feels like it has to give the drug the nod. Remember, the panel recommended the same drug be approved back in early 2012, and the Food and Drug Administration surprised a lot of CHTP stock owners by rejecting the drug, sending Northera back to the drawing board.
Perhaps the clarifying studies done in the meantime will appease the final authorities this time around. What's at stake is at least $300 million in annual sales, according to some industry experts. An approval could make CHTP stock one of the most explosive biotech stocks of 2014.
It's been a long time in the coming, but Mannkind (MNKD) is finally going to get a second chance to win the FDA's approval for its inhaled insulin, Afrezza.
The story is too long to tell in all its glory. The short version is, Afrezza was considered to be all but approved back in 2011, as the efficacy numbers were solid. Even the FDA insider who had a history of front-running the agency's approvals had his long position in MNKD stock in place. Then at the 11th hour, a hedge fund manager known for shorting biotech stocks in front of PDUFA dates made a relatively unusual (and considerably suspicious) decision to send a letter to several FDA chiefs explaining they had a duty to reject the drug. Sure enough, the drug was rejected. Plenty of people were shocked, but none so much as the people at Mannkind.
In any case, Mannkind humored the FDA and repeated the Phase 3 niceties, pretty much coming up with the same good results the second time around. We'll find out if the FDA has the stomach to rear-end Mannkind again when Afrezza is up for approval on April 15.
As of this writing, James Brumley did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

In education generally, but in open distance learning (ODL) in particular, the issue of ethical standards or simply ethics, especially as it defines strict professional behaviour and academic credibility, has had its debate both conjecturally and age long. Over time, the dimension of what aspect of professional behaviour or discipline should constitute the "right," or the "wrong" otherwise obnoscious practice, often attract multiple interpretations the world over. Unfortunately though, despite the pace of our educational development, institutions of higher learning (IHL) still have difficulties both in the interpretation and application of institutional rules and regulations, especially when there are disciplinary crises.
The word "ethics," however, may be more appreciated within the tripod interconnectivity of "ethics," "philosophy" and "morals," which share a lot of proximity in terms of their depth of meaning and somehow, on how they are applied, especially within education. Taken from the Latin word "ethica" and from the Ancient Greek "ήθική" (φιλοσοφία), it means "moral philosophy" which is equally derived from the adjective of "ńθoc ēthos" indicating either "custom," "traditions" or "habit" and which all indicate a fundamental branch of philosophy, which as well encompasses the right conduct and good life. While morals essentially connote the practice of right or good actions, the term "ethics" defines the theory of "right action" and "greater good;" but philosophy, without equivocation, gives meanings to their logics. Without doubt therefore, it is usually and often the case when such terms as "professional ethics" or "ethics of the profession" otherwise, "workplace ethics" are used to define the limits, coverage, and boundaries for members, within which organizational goals and objectives are pursued. Organizational (work or professional) ethics specifies standards that should give premium on how professional behaviour or tasks are to be facilitated while recognizing the worth, dignity, potentials and uniqueness of personnels who are the driving force within the existing socio-cultural and politico-economic contexts. It essentially defines professional responsibilities and rights motivated and directed by known values. Professional values inform and modify principles; and are an important way (ingredients) of living out an ethical commitment (American Counselling Association (ACA), 2005). It documents and defines code of conduct (otherwise, moral responsibilities) within academics, where the organization or the institution so concerned is education. Professional behaviour in education generally, and implicates the learners and programme/course facilitators (PF/CF), whether among the teaching and the nonteaching personnels, and for whom both individual and collective responsibilities are codified to direct organizational commitments.

VERY important hotel-reservation notes!
Our hotel room-rates for 2017 have been posted; they are linked from our hotel page, which has very important information that we think you should read.
Three important additional notes:
1) General reservations will begin on FEBRUARY 2, 2017, at 11:00 AM EST. Supersponsors will be sent a link for hotel reservations on January 30; please note, however, that with the growing number of supersponsors, we must out of necessity limit the number of available rooms at our smaller and more in-demand hotels so that there are still plenty available for everyone on the 2nd. And to that end...
2) We have added the Drury Plaza and the Homewood Suites. Both of these are comparatively small hotels, like the Courtyard. We expect these to sell out very quickly. There is nothing we can do to remedy that, save to continue to add hotel rooms to our inventory each year.
3) From VisitPittsburgh Housing Services: "If you know the true names of your roommates when you make your booking, of course you can enter them, and if you have your roommates' email addresses, enter them in the email field and your roommates will receive a copy of the reservation acknowledgment. If you do not know the true names of your roommates at the time of booking, please do not add fake names or generic names such as Guest #2, Guest #3. You will have the opportunity to add guest names at a later date. It is fine to leave a leave the those fields empty. You may also email housing(at)visitpittsburgh.com with roommate names. They will edit your reservation and send you notification once your roommates have been added to your reservation." This request comes in because in previous years, people have still had "John Doe" and "Guest #1" listed on their reservations even on the day they arrived.
Will the number of names attached to the hotel registration have any bearing on whether requests for a 2 full bed room are honored vs being assigned a 1 king bed room?
Nah. I leave guests totally blank until I check in and it has never influenced weather I got a king or two double bed if I originally reserved for a double bed room. Rooms don't really get assigned until you check in, in most cases, so if you get stuck with a king room when you requested a double, it's because of some other circumstance.
Do we know what time on the 30th Supersponsor emails are going to be sent?
We're shooting for 11:00 AM EST.
So exciting, good luck everyone!
Have you SEEN the decor from the Drury?
Just... wow!
Was this in responce to the FC robbery?
THis would be the Bridal Suite, I take it?
Is there a way to request adjacent rooms with others either on reservation or check-in at the Westin?
Adjacent rooms can be requested but don't depend on getting them. It depends on too many factors, like what rooms are available at the time you check in and whether people who got there before you did have already claimed them.
In short, you can ask but the answer is very likely going to be "We're sorry, but we cannot honor that request."
Noticed a little error in the post uncle kage. Down below is what I found.
But for my question what is the time and date for when they close out the supersponcers for pre-registration? The 30th at 11am is when it starts but what is our end date?
-Mr. Shadows-
"You will have the opportunity to add guest names at a later date. It is fine (to leave a leave the) those fields empty. You may also email "
I don't know where the original post is: it's not in this thread. The two comments have nothing to do with each other as far as I can see.
The answer to Mr. Shadows question is simple. The Supersponsors are given the exact same link to VisitPittsurgh (the people who handle Anthrocon's hotel reservations) as regular attendees are given. They are merely given it three days earlier. So when February 2 rolls around an the hotels open to everyone, a Supersponsor will be competing with everyone else and will no longer have an advantage in getting a room. A Supersponsor cannot wait until February 5 and expect to get a room at the Westin.
If Mr. Shadows was asking "What's the last day I can register as a Supersponsor and still get the early hotel room perk", that's trickier. Registration will probably cut off for the 30th initial notification by noon on the 29th at the latest. Considering the amount of work involved, that's asking quite a lot from volunteers to get last-second registrations added to the email list. If you register after that cutoff but before the general opening for hotels on February 2, they'll probably send you an email within a few hours, after the credit/debit card charge is processed.
Leaving additional roommates blank has nothing to do (specifically) with the Supersponsor perk of early hotel registration.
I either missed that error or it has already been corrected. (Missing it is certainly possible, given my increasing number of senior moments.)
However, it doesn't explain why there's the quote from Mr. Shadows in the middle of it...
Do pardon the mis information that section was the error that I noticed there being extra words placed in there by accident. from what I saw I was just pointing that out so when others read uncle kage messages they won't get confused.
But for the question I was trying to ask was since I'm a supersponcer I was wondering the cut off date and time for when the registration for the hotel rooms is cut off for us before they open it up for everyone else thats all. And my room mate brought a secondary question.
For the link that will be sent out by email will that link have the links to the other hotels or will it only have a specific link for like 1 or 2 of them? Reason for the question is if one hotel gets booked wI'll there be other links for us to move over to the next hotel to book that one instead.
And finally for the limitations for each room to how many personnel can they hold or be at max. Like for safety reasons how many people can someone have per room.
Other then these 3 questions I've been getting filled in by others on previous questions so if these three could be answered then I'd be thankful because these are the only questions I have before I'd be set to start booking.
-Mr. Shadows-
Since the link sent to the Supersponsors is the same as the one that everyone uses, the "end limit" for early hotel registration is when the link is published for everyone to use on February 2. So you will have roughly half a day on January 30, all day January 31, all day February 1 and up to around 11 on February 2 to register early. After that, you can still register, but you will be competing with everyone else.
All official convention hotels will be available to Supersponsors. The only hotel you may have problems getting a room at would be the Courtyard by Marriott, since it is small and only offers Anthrocon 70 rooms. You will select your hotel and the days you want to stay after you get to the VisitPittsburgh website.
The limit of people in any regular room at Anthrocon is 4, total. In your case that would mean yourself and 3 other people. Supersponsors can only reserve one room each during the early registration period. That is, one Supersponsor per room. You can ask for multiple rooms ONLY after general hotel registration opens to everyone.
Thank you this helps out a bit more to settle things.
-Mr. Shadows-
So question.
I'm registered as a Supersponsor for the 4th year in a row, but as Uncle Kage mentioned, the number of Supersponsors IS growing.
If I do the early registration (WHICH I AM FULLY PLANNING ON), will I be able to get a room at the Westin like I've done the past 3 years? It's kinda my hotel of choice due to a number of factors.
Until Supersponsors exceed the number of available rooms at the Westin (515), there will be no problem. Also, not all Supersponsors WANT the Westin and prefer other hotels like the Omni.
While it is a popular perk for them, not all Supersponsors choose that level just for the early hotel room selection.
That's good! I was so worried that I wasn't going to be able to get the Westin.
The problem is that the Westin doesn't have an unlimited number of certain room types. We do have to cap each room type so that we don't have a situation where there are no rooms available for the general attendees. So far we've not hit that cap, but one never knows when we will.
wait, what FC robbery?
wait, what FC robbery?
Burglary. There was a burglary at the FURther CONfusion Dealers' Den this year.
For the first time, the FC staff were able to gain access to new event space inside the San Jose Convention Hall. Part of this space was used for a large and roomy Dealers' Den, part for an extension of the Den and the Art Show, separated by one of those movable wall thingies. As this was the first time that the con had use of the space, they thought that they had all of the access doors secured, but they must have missed one for the Dealers extension.
It is believed that someone had got into the extension overnight and stole a fursuit head. The FC Con Staff, in (better) coordination with the Convention Hall management, took additional care after that to ensure that there was not a repeat of the incident.
It's not that they missed securing a door, one of the airwalls for the dealer space had a failure which resulted in unexpected access. It was an unfortunate incident but FC did indeed do their utmost to adjust the security situation and kept the dealers in the loop.
Jesus, what happened with the victim? Were they at least compensated?
Apologies if this has been asked, Supersponsor using visitpittsburg for the first time.
When the reservations go up, I want to try for the Courtyard. Is a room taken off the market for me as soon as I get to the reservation page, or am I not in the clear until the whole thing is submitted?
I ask because I've done it both ways. I've done it where once you get to the reservation page, you're in the clear, and you can slow down and take 1-2 minutes to fill everything out.
I've also done it the other way, where nothing is set aside for you until you click "reserve room". My most extreme example is San Diego Comic Con, where you have under 30 seconds to make your entire reservation and click submit - anyone can reserve the last room while you are still on the reservation page.
And since I know I'm going to get responses warning me about how hard the Courtyard is to get... I know. On the above example, I got my first choice hotel at SDCC. I'm no stranger to being fast. I just want to know how Visit Pittsburg works, so I can be prepared. No reason to rush if I don't have to!
It is the former. You should have about 10 minutes to complete your reservation once in the correct selection stage before the room returns to availability, so you don't need to rush filling out the form.
The Courtyard block is rather small compared to the amount of Supersponsors we have, so do not be surprised if even being fast you might not be able to secure a room. Have a backup hotel in mind.
Question about supersponcers e-mails.
What e-mail server and e-mail address that needs to be whitelisted so the link does not get greylist delayed or trap by a spam filter?
Probably Registration (at) Anthrocon.org
Actually registration will not be sending out the link. Uncle Kage sends out the link from a couple different accounts, I believe one of which is the ceo[AT]anthrocon[DOT]org email.
The reason for that is simple: In the unlikely event that anything goes wrong (like the internet crashes), then the blame goes to me, not to the hardworking registration staff who are the ones who actually put this intricate machine in motion.
Anyone else excited??
Is the Westin already sold out???
I'm trying to get my normal room at the Westin and it's not letting me, is it already sold out???
No! We had to place a limit on the number of rooms (particularly doubles) that Supersponsors could reserve ahead of time, since we have more supersponsors than the Westin has available rooms. We communicated this in three separate emails and in two different announcements on this page.
Is the Westin already filled? I can't get it
I can see that it still has kings, but the doubles for the supersponsor block look like they are gone.
Go for a king.
Trust me, Westin is totally worth it!
*sighs* Westin sold out effing quick this year
AH-HA! TRIUMPH! Changed the guest number and snagged a Traditional King room!
Yeah, I had to change the guest to get the room.
I was able to place a reservation for shorter then I wanted to stay at a hotel, can I place a second reservation for the other dates using the link without issue as long as they don't overlap?
I don't think that will work for supersponsors since it'll show up as making two reservations and throw a red flag that could get both invalidated. If the rooms are available other days, you should be able to edit the existing reservation to add them. If they weren't available when you first made the reservation, they won't be for a second reservation either.
Contact and tell them that you would like to extend your reservation. If anyone can help, they can.
Yesss, got the Drury! Who's getting free breakfast,dinner, and drinks every day? This foxie is! So excited! The reviews on the Drury so far are near flawless...I can't wait to see it myself!
So I got my room (supersponcer). And I've already have a concern... we registered our rooms but... we weren't given room numbers or anything to inform us to where in the hotel we will be staying. Like is that how the Westin works? Because if an individual as like myself needs to mail something to my room how am I gonna know where to send my mail if I don't have a room number or anything.
-Mr. Shadows-
That's the way ALL hotels work, since they can never be certain of what room will be available when it's time for you to check in, As for mailing things to the hotel, usually you can just mail them to the hotel itself and just put a note on the bottom of the envelope saying "Arriving MM/DD/YY" and they'll hold it for you if it gets there before you do.
As a reasonability check, don't send things to the hotel that are expected to arrive more than two or threee days before your expected arrival.

Update 2: It appears that Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour is now back up on the Play Store.
Update: It seems that Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour has been taken off of the Play Store due to download issues. A Gameloft spokesperson has said, ""Until the download conditions are back to normal we have decided to temporarily deactivate Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour from Google Play."
We'll make sure to let everyone know when the game is available again.
Thanks, Josh!
Original Article: If you remember a little while ago we reported that Gameloft's first-person shooter, Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour, was delayed but was said that the game would release soon after its launch on iOS. Good news though folks, Gameloft has released the game on the Play Store making Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour the fourth installment in the Modern Combat franchise.
Gameloft has declared Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour to be "the most memorable action shooter ever." While Call of Duty followers may highly disagree with the statement, Modern Combat 4 continues to stay true to their origins of terrorist-killing, but Gameloft has brought something new to the table as well. The game is powered by the Havok Engine, which Gameloft said produces some seamless ragdoll effects and more realism within the game world. One of the other new things that players will notice in Modern Combat 4 is that Gameloft has completely overhauled the multiplayer mode. There are now over 20,000 different arrangements for weapons along with a new ranking system integrated in the game. This will allow you to keep track of your progress.
You can grab Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour from the Play Store link below. It'll cost consumers $6.99. I haven't grabbed the game just yet. I kind of am holding back until I can get one of the MOGA controllers, as I'm really not a fan of controlling first-person shooters with touch controls. They tend to feel a bit clunky to me.
Have you downloaded the game yet? How do you like it thus far? Was it worth the delay?

Unlike Formatov such as TIFF or PSD, BMP in Formate not involve the use of color correction. This means that you can not guarantee that the recipient will see your file image colors the way you define them (let's assume that your colleagues monitor is set to a smaller or larger than you, brightness).
image in BMP Formate can be compressed with RLE (these files usually have the extension. rle instead. bmp). However, files with compression recognized and processed by no means all graphic programs.
Adobe Photoshop allows you to enable compression for files to be saved with a color depth four or eight bits (16 or 256 colors).

There's a scene in The Godfather when Clemenza, anticipating the outbreak of a full-scale war between the families, nonchalantly remarks to young Mikey Corleone: "This thing's gotta happen every five years or so…every ten years–helps to get rid of the bad blood." You could almost say the same thing about Pacifica Radio.
Just such a periodic Pacifica war erupted recently when Lynn Chadwick, the executive director of the Pacifica Foundation, summarily dismissed Nicole Sawaya, the popular manager of Berkeley affiliate KPFA. Sawaya's most egregious transgression apparently was her impolitic way of questioning some of Pacifica's internal operations. After she was let go, her enraged staff went to the mattresses. Veteran programmer Larry Bensky broke an internal rule and–in the middle of a nationwide show he was doing about the war in Kosovo–spent seventeen minutes discoursing on the Pacifica personnel battle. Pacifica retaliated and offed Bensky from his job. In his absence the staff continued to violate Pacifica's rule banning on-air dirty laundry, and the mutiny continues as we go to press [see page 2 for a letter from the Ad Hoc Committee of Listeners and Supporters].
Sawaya's firing was dead wrong and should immediately be reversed. But the deeper conflict that has been shaking Pacifica is not a clear-cut battle between Good and Evil, between Democracy and Dictatorship, between radical purity and encroaching commercialism, as it has too often and simplistically been portrayed (including in these pages by Alexander Cockburn). The bad blood that boiled over these past few weeks has been heating up for almost five years. Fueling the conflict is a tension between two visions of what Pacifica Radio can and should be as it completes its first fifty years. One view is that the five stations should be a high-frequency tom-tom for activists, the equivalent of a mimeographed bulletin of the left that makes little effort to reach beyond its current constituencies. The competing view is that Pacifica should be a newspaper of the left, an electronic Le Monde or Guardian with some intellectual heft and depth and–yes–even some occasional analytical distance from the movements to which it is sympathetic.
Both visions can be defended, and they're not mutually exclusive. But as a Pacifica programmer going back, on and off, twenty years, I unabashedly support the latter strategy as the only way for Pacifica to stop occupying only the fringe. And it is toward that second vision that Pacifica has tried over the past five years–in its awkward and inefficient way–to move. But every tentative step in that direction has been met by a relentless guerrilla war of distortion and hyperbole from former programmers and other activists who have made Pacifica a full-time obsession. They accuse Pacifica of a long list of indictable war crimes: unionbusting, creeping corporatization, "NPR-ization" and secret cabals and conspiracies to seize the network.

UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 14 - The Security Council struggled Wednesday night over a resolution extending the term of the United Nations investigation into the assassination of the former prime minister of Lebanon, Rafik Hariri, and expanding its scope to include other recent politically motivated killings in Lebanon.
Drafted by France, co-sponsored by Britain and the United States and scheduled for a vote on Thursday, the resolution gives the inquiry another six months, to June 15, and posits the possibility of further extension if requested by Lebanon.
It also expresses "deep concern" at evidence of Syrian actions to hinder the investigation and demands that Damascus cooperate "unambiguously and immediately."
While there was no dispute over the initial six-month stretch, negotiators worked to overcome objections to the proposal to broaden the commission's mandate to include investigations of a series of attacks on journalists and politicians in Lebanon that began in October 2004.
The final draft said that the United Nations commission should give the Lebanese authorities "technical assistance" in connection with those crimes.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Hariri, who was opposed to the Syrian control of his country's politics, was killed with 22 others when a bomb exploded as his car was passing along a Beirut seaside street.
On Monday, Detlev Mehlis, the investigation's chief, delivered a 25-page report to the Council saying that fresh evidence bolstered his earlier judgment that top ranking officials of the Syrian intelligence services, in collusion with their Lebanese counterparts, were behind Mr. Hariri's killing and that Syria was trying to stall his investigation.
The resolution comes in response to a formal request from Lebanon's current prime minister, Fouad Siniora. After the car bomb assassination in Beirut on Monday of a prominent journalist, Mr. Siniora added the request that the inquiry be broadened to include the new victims.
He also asked the Council to set up an independent tribunal to judge the Hariri killing, but the resolution includes only a request that Secretary General Kofi Annan "help the Lebanese government identify the nature and scope of the international assistance needed in this regard."
The measure also makes no mention of any potential sanctions, but it asks for reports every three months on Syrian compliance. An earlier resolution, passed unanimously on Oct. 31, had threatened Syria with unspecified "further action" if Syria did not cooperate "fully and unconditionally" with the inquiry.
Mr. Mehlis's report said that while Syria deliberately delayed many aspects of his inquiry, it did, in the end, make five officials available for questioning at United Nations offices in Vienna earlier this month.
John R. Bolton, the American ambassador, denied that there had been any significant "retrenchment" in Wednesday's negotiations, and he said the United States was satisfied the measure would "send the right signal."Continue reading the main story
