Hope College conducted a ceremony on Friday, Oct. 3, to inaugurate the 12 flagpoles newly installed outside the Martha Miller Center for Global Communication.
The flags highlight the college's international connections. The flags that were initially flown honored the members of the freshman Class of 2012, who are from Armenia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Kenya, Mexico, Palestine, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden and the United States.
The ceremony included welcoming remarks by Hope College President Dr. James Bultman and an overview of the legacy of international education at Hope by Alfredo Gonzales, who is associate provost and dean for international and multicultural education.
The college plans to feature different groupings of flags representative of the home countries of the student body throughout the academic year. The Hope student body this school year comes from 31 countries, including the United States.
The poles stand along the north and west sides of the building, six on each side. When installation is complete, the flags will be lighted.
The Martha Miller Center for Global Communication houses the departments of communication and modern and classical languages, and the offices of international education and multicultural life. The building opened in the fall of 2005 and is named after the late Martha Miller, a member of the college's Class of 1924 who died on May 16, 1999, at age 96, in honor of an estate gift that she made to Hope.
The event took place in conjunction with the college's Homecoming Weekend.

Oregon Districts Offer Much More Than Education To Homeless Youth
State sees decline in homeless numbers due to new federal reporting process
(SALEM, Ore.) – Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction Rob Saxton today announced that 18,165 students in Oregon's K-12 public schools lived in a homeless situation at some point during the 2012-13 school year. This number is down from the 20,370 students reported during the 2011-12 school year. However, a shift in federal reporting requirements changed how districts tracked and reported homeless students last year which impacted this year's numbers.
"As we head into the holiday season, this report is a reminder of the stark reality faced by thousands of Oregon students and their families on a daily basis," said Deputy Superintendent Rob Saxton. "No child should have to worry about where they are going to sleep or where their next meal is coming from, but unfortunately, far too many of our students have to do just that. Our schools do an incredible job of not only providing these students with the educational tools they will need in their futures but also many of the essentials such as transportation, food, and clothing to meet their immediate needs. I would like to thank our many dedicated school staff – and in particular our homeless liaisons – who make such a huge difference in these students' lives. However, they can't do this important work alone. Please join our schools in helping to combat student homelessness and its consequences and give back this holiday season."
Change in Reporting Methodology Impacts Homeless Counts
Every school district in Oregon is required to have a homeless liaison to provide services, supports, and resources to homeless youth. In the past, these liaisons reported annual counts of the number of homeless students in their districts. Due to a change in federal reporting requirements, liaisons are now tracking and reporting data at the individual student level rather than at the district level. This means that for the first time, we can identify duplicates in our counts due to students moving between districts mid-year. The state-wide and county totals reported this year only count each student once regardless of the number of districts providing services to the student during the school year. However, in order to accurately reflect the services and supports provided by each district, district counts include all homeless students served by the district, regardless of whether that student also received services at another district at some point in the school year. This means that the sum of all district totals will not match the state or county totals provided. The change in methodology also means that this year's data is not directly comparable with previous year's data and should be considered a new baseline.
Homelessness and Student Achievement
By tracking homelessness at the student level, we are now able to examine how our homeless student population is performing in school. In the past, this was only possible for those districts receiving McKinney-Vento sub-grants as grantees tracked homelessness at the student level. This year's statewide homeless achievement data reveals what the sub-grant data had indicated – that homeless students have lower levels of academic performance than their peers. Homeless students meet state reading, math, and science expectations at much lower rates than the student population as a whole. However, what is possibly more striking is the difference between the results of homeless youth and other youth in poverty. Homeless students had results well below those of their economically disadvantaged peers. These results point to the very real impact that homelessness has on student learning and outcomes.
"These results paint a very clear picture about the effect of housing insecurity on student learning," said Deputy Superintendent Saxton. "We need to come together as communities and as a state to meet our students' fundamental needs so that they can stop worrying about the basics and get back to being kids – learning, growing, and fulfilling their potential."
The ability to track student-level data allows us to not only track achievement data but also to examine demographics and other trends in student homelessness. For example, there are generally about twice as many homeless students reported at the 12th grade than at any other grade level. We are now able to examine the data more closely and identify that these 2,438 homeless seniors range in age from 16 to 21, indicating that many are 5th or even 6th year seniors.
The student-level data also allows us to explore how homelessness impacts various student populations. This year's data reveals that student homelessness disproportionately impacts many of our communities of color. Our Hispanic, Black, and Native American students are more likely than their peers to experience homelessness. English Learners and Special Education students are also slightly more likely than their peers to experience homelessness.
Tracking student-level homeless data will allow us to explore trends and patterns over time including issues such as chronic homelessness. It will also allow us to examine student outcomes such as graduation and high school completion rates. This information will be available in next year's report and will further illuminate the impact of homelessness on Oregon students.
A Closer Look at the Numbers
Despite the recent dip, caused at least in part by the change in reporting methodology, student homeless rates remain high and have more than doubled in the last decade. Statewide, 3.2% of Oregon's K-12 students were homeless at some point during the 2012-13 school year.
Only 50 of Oregon's 197 school districts reported no homeless students during the 2012-13 school year. Student homelessness is something that impacts both rural and urban communities in our state, and while larger districts tend to have the highest numbers of homeless students, those with the highest percentages are small, rural, and generally some distance from the I-5 corridor. The table below lists the ten Oregon school districts with the largest numbers of homeless students grades K-12 during the 2012-13 school year. These are the same ten districts that had the highest numbers of homelessness in the previous school year.
The table below lists the ten Oregon school districts with the highest percent of homeless students grades K-12 during the 2012-13 school year. While small school districts tend to have more volatile data, and rates of student homelessness can vary greatly from year to year, five of the districts below were in the top ten in terms of percent homeless for the 2011-12 school year as well. The five districts who had persistently high rates of homelessness are marked with an *. Rural homelessness is generally associated a lack of affordable housing.
"Homelessness" is federally defined as lacking a fixed, regular, and/or adequate nighttime residence. A homeless family could be living in an emergency shelter or transitional housing, reside in a motel, tent, or trailer for lack of alternative, adequate housing, or share housing with another family due to loss of a home or economic hardship. About three quarters of Oregon's homeless students live in a shared housing situation. Over 3,100 of Oregon's 2012-13 homeless students were considered "unaccompanied minors" and lacked both a fixed place of residence and a parent or guardian.
The Great Recession and Homelessness
Oregon, and the rest of the country, saw an increase in student homelessness as a result of the Great Recession. While things are starting to turn around economically, the recovery is slow and many parents who lost their jobs or homes during the economic downturn are still struggling to find work and make ends meet. This issue is compounded by the lack of affordable housing in many Oregon communities. As families continue to struggle to find adequate and stable housing, school district homeless liaisons work to connect families to resources, navigate the social services system, and ensure that students have what they need to come to school ready to learn. But with limited resources at the school and district level, many schools rely heavily on the support and generosity of the broader community to ensure these students have what they need to be successful.
"I'm very moved by our community's response and foresight in this time of cuts to programs for the most vulnerable populations, specifically our children," said Juliana Marez, homeless liaison for the Roseburg School District. "I see churches and service organizations, tribes, local youth, individuals, and neighbors mobilizing to help one another. That is the Oregon spirit. I am very pleased to see the grassroots response to this effort and invite others to join in."
Federal funding to support the education of homeless students is provided through the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act.

Police Col. Abel Gamarra, head of the Information Directorate of Police, told The Associated Press late Monday that van der Sloot admitted under questioning by police that he killed 21-year-old Stephany Flores.
Gamarra said the case will be turned over to prosecutors who will present formal charges against van der Sloot. The National Prison Institute will determine which prison he will be held in while awaiting trial.
Police planned to take van der Sloot to the hotel on Tuesday to participate in a reconstruction of the events leading to Flores' slaying, Gamarra said.
Gamarra did not provide further details about the confession.
Reports of the confession come as Holloway's mother, Beth, prepares to open the Natalee Holloway Resource Center tonight in Washington, D.C. Families of missing persons will be able get help managing their crisis, and high school and college students can get advice for traveling safely through the center.
A Peruvian television station, Channel 4, said it had obtained details about van der Sloot's confession in which he reportedly told police that he killed Flores because he got angry when he found out that she had looked up information about his past on his laptop.
Flores, a university student studying business administration, was found beaten to death in the hotel room where the Dutchman had stayed while participating in a poker tournament. Flores is thought to have met van der Sloot at the casino.
She was last seen alive on a hotel video the night of May 30 entering van der Sloot's room. The Dutchman is seen on the video leaving the room several hours later with his baggage and walking out of the hotel.
Police said he took a bus to Chile, where he was captured several days later and returned to Peru.
Van der Sloot has long been considered the main suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Holloway on the Caribbean resort island of Aruba. He was arrested twice, but freed both times for lack of evidence.
CNN reported that the legal system in Peru often issues lighter sentences to suspects who confess. There is no death penalty or life sentence in Peru.
MSNBC said, according to La Republica newspaper, van der Sloot "said that his anger exploded and he broke Stephany Flores' neck after she grabbed his laptop without his permission, and found out that he was involved in the disappearance of an American woman."
The paper quoted van der Sloot as saying, "I did not want to do it. The girl intruded into my private life."
Van der Sloot remains the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway, then 18, on the Caribbean resort island of Aruba while she was celebrating her high school graduation.
He was arrested twice in the case -- and gave a number of conflicting confessions, some in TV interviews -- but was freed for lack of evidence.
A fixture on true crime shows and in tabloids after Holloway's disappearance, he gained a reputation for lying -- even admitting a penchant for it -- and also exhibited a volatile temper. In one Dutch television interview he threw a glass of wine in a reporter's eyes. In another, he smashed a glass of water against a wall in a fury.
The 6-foot-3 Van der Sloot had been held at Peruvian criminal police headquarters since arriving Saturday in a police convoy from Chile, where he was captured on Thursday.
He had crossed into Chile on Monday, nearly a day after leaving the Lima hotel -- five years to the day after Holloway's disappearance.
Flores' battered body was found on the floor in the room more than two days later. Lima's deputy medical investigator, Victor Tejada, told the AP on Monday that she was killed by blows with a blunt object, probably the tennis racket found in the hotel room.
Guardia told the AP her body was found face down and clothed with no indication of sexual assault.
In video taken of the Dutchman that was broadcast Sunday by a TV channel, Peruvian police were seen searching van der Sloot's belongings in his presence. They were shown pulling out of his backpack a laptop, a business-card holder and 15 bills in foreign currency.
Chilean police who questioned van der Sloot on Thursday said he declared himself innocent of the Lima slaying but acknowledged knowing Flores.
Van der Sloot was represented by a state-appointed lawyer during Saturday's questioning and both a Dutch Embassy official and his U.S.-based attorney told the AP on Sunday that he was seeking to hire his own counsel.
The suspect's father, a former judge and attorney on the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba, died in February. Van der Sloot has two brothers.
There were indications van der Sloot may have been traveling on money gained through extortion.
The day of his arrest in Chile, van der Sloot was charged in the United States with trying to extort $250,000 from Holloway's family in exchange for disclosing the location of her body and describing how she died.
U.S. prosecutors say $15,000 was transferred to a Dutch bank account in his name on May 10. He arrived in Peru four days later, his visit coinciding with the runup to a June 2-5 Latin America Poker Tour tournament with a $930,000 prize pool.
Tournament organizers said Van der Sloot did not sign up to participate in the event.
Van der Sloot is an avid gambler and was known in Aruba to frequent its casino hotels, one of which was lodging Holloway.
In a lengthy 2006 interview with Greta Van Susteren on Fox News, Van der Sloot described drinking shots of rum with Holloway, whom he said he met while playing poker at an Aruba casino, then taking her to a beach and leaving her there around 3:30 a.m.
Two years later, a Dutch television crime reporter captured hidden-camera footage of Van der Sloot saying that after Holloway, drunk, collapsed on the beach while the two were kissing he asked a friend to dump her body in the sea.
"I would never murder a girl," he said.
That interview prompted authorities in Aruba to reopen the case, but Van der Sloot later said he made up the whole story and he was not charged.
The crime reporter, Peter de Vries -- the victim of the wine-throwing incident -- reported later in 2008 that Van der Sloot was recruiting Thai women in Bangkok for sex work in the Netherlands.
(Associated Press writers Franklin Briceno, Carla Salazar, Frank Bajak and Arthur Max in Amsterdam contributed to this report.)

Apple Inc's shareholders have been hit by one of the bloodiest weeks in the history of the stock, but wider fallout from such weakness might be more important to the long-term value of their investments.
While Apple's iPhones, iPads and Macs remain gold standards, signs the company is losing some of its edge in the smartphone market suggest its clout with business partners could wane.
Recent comments from executives at phone carriers and component suppliers show they see room for at least some shift in the balance of power.
In particular, a move by No. 4 US mobile service provider T-Mobile USA to stop subsidizing smartphones around the time it starts selling the iPhone in three months time may put pressure on Apple, especially if other carriers follow the example.
U.S. phone companies mostly subsidize handsets in return for two-year contracts. If customers start paying the full price for an iPhone they might look for cheaper alternatives. Asked whether carriers are now in a better position to negotiate lower prices with smartphone makers such as Apple, Fran Shammo, chief financial officer of Verizon Communications, said having four strong platforms - Apple, Android, Windows and BlackBerry - is leading to more competitive pricing.
"The more operating systems we have to compete in this area the better the competition," he told Reuters. Verizon Communications Inc is the majority owner of Verizon Wireless, the biggest U.S. mobile provider.
Apple sold a record 48 million iPhones in the December quarter, but its share of the overall market is expected to peak this year at 22 percent and become dependent on repeat business from loyal customers unless it accepts lower margins by making low-cost iPhones, according to ABI Research.
Meanwhile, arch-rival Samsung Electronics Co Ltd , with a range of handsets has overtaken Apple as the world's top smartphone seller. If Apple's customers and suppliers, let alone rivals, smell blood and take a much harder line in negotiations, it could erode Apple's gross margins, which slipped to 38.6 percent in the last quarter from 44.7 percent a year ago.
Apple declined to comment on its business with partners, although when CEO Tim Cook was asked on an earnings conference call last July about subsidies potentially being reduced, he said the total subsidy carriers pay is fairly small compared with revenues over a two-year contract. He also said carriers told him the iPhone has many advantages, including lower churn rates and the ability to sell shared data plans for other Apple products such as the iPad.
Certainly, Apple's astounding run over the past decade and ever rising volume of iPhone sales have given it unrivaled power to negotiate with wireless carriers and component suppliers.
Last week's results fell short of Wall Street's estimates, sending Apple's share price down more than 14 percent. That underscored signs Apple is coming back down to earth, transforming from undisputed Wall Street darling to a more normal - if enormous and hugely profitable - company.
A less powerful Apple could be welcomed by telecommunications carriers and component suppliers that have grown accustomed to the tough terms Apple was able to exact thanks to its massive scale and leadership in the market. Wireless carriers that once agreed to unfavorable contracts and hefty subsidies still cannot live without Apple, but experts say they could have more leeway in the future if Samsung and other device makers continue to grab market share.
Subsidies have been a major driver of the iPhone's success and in boosting Apple's earnings. Analysts estimate operators pay a roughly $400 subsidy for each iPhone they sell in comparison with subsidies of $250 to $300 for other smartphones. But that may already be changing.
T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG, has not disclosed the details of its deal with Apple, but CEO John Legere said it will not be as onerous as Sprint Nextel's commitment to pay $15.5 billion over four years.
Instead of subsidizing smartphones, T-Mobile USA will let consumers pay the full price in monthly installments.
Randall Stephenson, CEO of AT&T, Apple's first partner for the iPhone, applauds T-Mobile USA's idea. "That's something we've looked at on several occasions. I kind of like that idea," Stephenson said. "Its something we're going to be watching."
Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam told Reuters T-Mobile USA's strategy is "very intriguing," but wondered if consumers are ready to pay full price.
An iPhone 5 with 16 gigabytes of storage that is not tied to a contract costs $649 on Walmart.com.
If subsidies are removed and payment plans widely adopted, some experts say consumers might opt for cheaper devices.
"The illogical love affair is over. Now it's just a great company," said a former top executive for a rival in the handset business. "The AT&Ts of the world will start to try to get themselves weaned off of paying such great subsidies to Apple."
In content, there are already signs of resistance.
The company is meeting media executives in a potential effort to transform the living room with some kind of new Apple TV product, sources have said. Its efforts are hindered, however, by the reluctance of movie and TV program makers to make content deals favorable to Apple. They saw how Apple's iTunes service helped decimate recording industry profits some years ago and they are very wary as a result, sources and analysts say.
Samsung led the global smartphone market with 29 percent market share in the fourth quarter, up from 22.5 percent a year ago. Apple was No. 2, but its share fell to 21.8 percent from 23 percent a year ago, according research firm IDC.
Apple's ability to extract low prices from the makers of chips and other components is one of the reasons it preserves margins in the 40 percent range on average. But given increasing competition in the United States and its relatively weak position (sixth in smartphone sales) in the rapidly growing China market, that power might be hard to keep.
Supplier stock prices surge or plummet as result of being chosen or rejected by Apple.
Chipmaker Audience Inc went public last year on the back of its Apple business, but the stock plummeted when Apple stopped using its chips. Audience's largest customer is now Samsung and its stock is recovering.
An executive at one chipmaker welcomed the prospect that one day his company might depend less on Apple. Selling to Apple is "a double-edged sword," said the executive, who was not authorized to discuss his company's relationship with Apple. Having Apple as a customer guarantees huge volumes, but comes at the cost of accepting rock bottom prices that can cripple profit margins, the executive said.
Meanwhile, a few component makers are staking out territory in smartphones and tablets without Apple. InvenSense Inc reported a 58 percent jump in quarterly earnings last Wednesday and its stock leaped 11 percent, partly because its gyroscope chips are used in hot-selling Android devices, including the Google Nexus 7, Samsung Galaxy S3 and Amazon Kindle Fire HD.
To be sure, InvenSense is trying to win Cupertino, California-based Apple's business. But even without Apple, it has become a key supplier in the smartphone and tablet market. But as Samsung's share of the smartphone market grows further, it too is forcing suppliers to accept lower and lower prices, said Evercore Partners analyst Mark McKechnie. "Samsung beats the heck out of people too. Be careful what you wish for," McKechnie said.
For now, Apple is still a mega player, even if it ships fewer phones than Samsung. For many consumers, its cult-like status remains unchallenged. Despite recent stock market losses - more than $230 billion has been wiped off Apple's value since its September peak - the iPhone alone pulled in $30.66 billion in revenue last quarter, 43 percent more than Microsoft's entire sales for the period.
"Even though they're not gaining share, they're such a large piece of the market and such a driver of customer volume into their stores that people can't walk away yet," said David Yoffie, a professor who specializes in competitive strategy at Harvard Business School. "Over the longer term, clearly there will be more and more pressure on Apple if they don't find new ways to innovate."
Even with slower growth, Apple is still widely seen as a highly successful company with a bright future and plenty of potential to produce another revolutionary product.
"What rabbit will Apple pull out of its hat to once again transform the industry?" asked Joseph Doyle, who co-manages wealth management firm Morris Capital Advisors' large cap strategy. "And if they can't do it, does that make it an awful investment? No, that will make it more like everything else."

NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass. -- The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth men's lacrosse team sent its eight seniors off in dramatic fashion, rallying from a 7-1 deficit to defeat Western Connecticut State University 12-9 this afternoon in a Little East Conference match at Cressy Field.
The Corsairs (10-4) moved into a third place tie with Western Connecticut (6-8) and Plymouth State (8-3) in the conference standings with a 3-2 mark, but hold the tiebreaker over the Colonials and Panthers by virtue of head-to-head victories.
UMass Dartmouth honored its most successful senior class in program history prior to the start of their final regular-season game at Cressy Field. The Corsairs senior class is comprised of Jared Wright (Gloucester, Mass.), Nick Thayer (Chelmsford, Mass.), Steve Tarpey (Shrewsbury, Mass.), Justin Lawless (Quincy, Mass.), Todd Davis (Sandwich, Mass.), Dan Dawley (Revere, Mass.), Jordan MacPherson (Westwood, Mass.), and Adam Niden (Walpole, Mass.)
Junior Riley Baxter (Groton, Mass.) was the offensive catalyst for UMass Dartmouth, registering four assists and a goal for five points. Sophomore Tyler Chasnov (Plymouth, Mass./Plymouth North) and Niden each turned in a balanced scoring effort with two markers and two helpers. Sophomore Bo Prozinski (Ashland, Mass.) and MacPherson each tallied a hat trick as the hosts outshot their guests by a 39-28 margin.
The Corsairs defensive unit limited Western Connecticut to just a single marker in each of the final three quarters to provide the offense with an opportunity to overcome the early deficit. Davis and Tarpey shared the team-high in ground balls with five, while Wright scooped up four and caused three turnovers. Sophomore Dan Brown (Beverly, Mass.) went 6-for-12 from the X, while classmate Zach Drolette (Burlington, Vt.) won six of his 13 restarts.
Sophomore Jake Pantani (Branford, Conn.) led Western Connecticut with five points, including three assists. Senior Nate Wilson (Norwich, Conn.) produced four goals, while sophomore John Foristall (Danbury, Conn.) added a pair. Junior Zach Bartlett (East Lyme, Conn.) collected a game-high eight ground balls and forced a team-high two caused turnovers.
UMass Dartmouth cracked the scoring column just one minute, 31 seconds into regulation, when MacPherson converted a man-up opportunity following a feed from junior Dennis Healy (Hanover, Mass.). The Colonials closed the first quarter with a six-goal outburst to deflate the hometown crowd. Foristall and senior Wilson keyed the surge with two markers each.
The visitors continued to ride their momentum into the second stanza, as Wilson completed his personal hat trick off an assist from Bartlett just over a minute into the frame. Davis was able to stem the tide at the 3:18 mark, cashing in off an assist from Chasnov. Chasnov played an integral role in UMass Dartmouth's two scores, recording a marker and handing out a helper as the Corsairs entered the intermission trailing 7-4.
In a low-scoring third quarter, UMass Dartmouth was able to whittle its deficit to one, when Prozinski and Chasnov finished feeds from Baxter. Wilson capitalized on an extra-man opportunity to temporarily stop the hosts' momentum and push the visitors lead to 8-6.
The Colonials opened the fourth quarter with an even-strength goal, but the Corsairs' closed strong with six unanswered goals to complete the comeback. MacPherson sandwiched a pair of goals betwenn Niden's 19th goal of the season to even the contest at 9-all. Prozinski delivered the decisive score at the 7:16 mark before adding an insurance marker with under four minutes remaining on the clock. Baxter sealed the conference victory with his 17th tally of the season to provide the hosts' with a proper send off for the Class of 2014.
In between the pipes, Thayer made six stops to earn the victory, while junior Chris Alexander (Swansey, N.H.) turned aside 13 Corsair attempts.
UMass Dartmouth will return to action on April 22, when the Corsairs travel to Salem State University for a Little East Conference match.

Firebug 1.8.0Friday, July 29th, 2011
Firebug Working Group (FWG) is proud to announce the final Firebug 1.8 release!
Firebug 1.8 has been also uploaded to AMO, but it can take some time to appear.
Firebug 1.8 is based on Firebug 1.8b7 (12 issues fixed) that has been uploaded to AMO to update also the beta channel. We have also started Firebug 1.9a0 alpha.
First of all, check out the following compatibility table:
- Firefox 3.6 with Firebug 1.7.3
- Firefox 4.0 with Firebug 1.7.3
- Firefox 5.0 with Firebug 1.8 (and also Firebug 1.7.3)
- Firefox 6.0 with Firebug 1.9a0 (and Firebug 1.8 as soon as 6.0 is out)
- Firefox 7.0 with Firebug 1.9a0
- Firefox 8.0 with Firebug 1.9a0
Feature Enhancements
We have been mainly focusing on stability and performance, but there are also some feature enhancements implemented along the way.
- New console.timeStamp() method
- IP Address displayed in the Net Panel
- HTML Preview Reloaded
- Improved Script Location List
- Command Line Content Persistence across page reloads
- New DOM Panel Options
- CSS Panel Color Tooltips
- Shortcuts for Changing CSS values
- Better Support for External Editors
- Box Sizing Exposed
Check out detailed description of all enhancements with screen-shots. There are also releases notes with links to proper issue reports available on Firebug Wiki.
Internal Architecture Improved
Firebug internal architecture has been significantly improved. We started using asynchronous modules (see more about AMD). This will help us to isolate individual parts of Firebug (no more 5-10 thousands lines of source code in a single file), avoid global dependencies and make code sharing simpler. Firebug is using a module loader that is based on RequireJS.
You can also see description of all existing Firebug modules. If you are a Firebug extension developer you could also be interested in API Changes.
Firebug 1.8 still supports existing extensions based on XUL Overlays and we are also working on AMD module support API for extensions that should be finalized in Firebug 1.9
Using asynchronous modules is great change and moves Firebug much closer towards following goals:
- Better Firebug code-base organization and dependencies.
- Sharing modules (and UI!) with Firebug Lite that is running inside a web page.
- Support for restart-less Firebug installation.
- Delayed Firebug load so, it doesn't slow down Firefox startup time.
- Better infrastructure for upcoming Firefox Electrolysis (separate processes) and remote debugging.
We are working hard to bring the best developer experience to the web and we have a lot of ideas about what to do to reach that goal, so stay tuned!
Please post feedback in the newsgroup, thanks!

Sanya Richards-Ross is a four-time track-and-field gold medalist for the United States. In the WEtv reality show "Sanya's Glam & Gold," her life training for the Olympics and living — and working — with her family was documented.
Richards-Ross, 28, talked to us about what it takes to stay in shape for the world's highest-stakes sporting event, how she manages to work alongside her family and whether her workouts have changed over the years.
Will you be competing in the next Olympics?
My goal is to compete in the next Olympics, yes. But I just had toe surgery, so I have been doing lots of rehab, and I'm not able to run like I usually do this time of year. I've been biking, swimming and doing yoga and Pilates to stay fit and healthy.
What are your workouts like?
Our workouts are really intense. I do five days on the track, and earlier in the year I go for longer runs. For me, that's about 30 minutes, progressively. I get back on the track, do 200 meters, then repeat with 400 meters. They are all done to get faster and stronger. I do a lot of weightlifting.... I also do a lot of core work: 500 to 1,000 sit-ups every day.
Because I am a sprinter, we don't usually log our numbers in miles. I'm doing workouts to accentuate what my coach gives me: 1,500 meters, two miles of warmups, take breaks, everything with intervals. It probably comes down to about 2 miles of running every day.
Tell me about the reality show.
My parents are my managers, my sister and I own a salon together in Austin [Texas] and my husband, who is also an elite world-class athlete, will be on it. It's an amazing show about what it's like to work with your family and the struggle that comes with that. You will laugh with them, cry with them.
What's your diet like?
I'm not very strict on diet. I've just always had a healthy diet. We don't eat red meat, so I don't eat a lot of fried food, and I honestly don't eat to lose weight. I eat egg whites in the morning with fruit or bagels, salad for lunch or, if I'm training, a grilled chicken sandwich, then a shake with protein supplements and, for dinner, grilled chicken or salmon with potatoes or veggies. On Saturday or Sunday I will have pizza or French fries. I don't think it's healthy to deprive yourself of those treats. I just try to do everything in moderation.
Have your workouts changed at all over the years?
My workouts are very tailored and specific to what I want to accomplish on the track, but otherwise they are the same. I've had the same coach for the past eight years. We work out according to what I might need, but for the most part my workouts stay consistent. Rest is also a crucial part of it. I need all my energy for my training.

Last June, Allure magazine provided some tips to maintaining healthy hair before and after partaking in summer fun:
Skin suffers in heat and sun, but what about hair? Summer elements can wreak havoc on it.
Consider the effects of sun, heat, sweat, chlorine and salt water. A head full of luscious locks in spring can become dry, color-faded, greasy, frizzy — or all of these — by fall.

Last June, Allure magazine provided some tips to maintaining healthy hair before and after partaking in summer fun:
— Use a moisturizing or shielding product with UV protection.
— Wear a hat.
— Wet hair slightly and add a leave-in conditioner.
— Blot with a towel and then air dry instead of using a hair dryer. Run hands through to style straight hair, but consider a mousse or curl
cream for curly hair and simply separate curls when hair is dry.
— To add back shine, ask stylist to treat with a clear gloss, which gradually washes out. Or, purchase a do-at-home glaze or try the DIY trick of one cup water with two tablespoons apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle. Massage in after shampooing, wait three minutes, then apply a conditioner.
— Use a hair mask, which can even be applied before going out in the sun as the sun's intensity will cause the mask's nutrients to penetrate deeper into the hair shafts.
Summer frizz is a problem for many with thick and naturally curly hair due to high humidity. Allure's recommended solution: a replenishing oil such as argan, camelia or pracaxi. For the opposite problem of limp, straight hair due to humidity or sweat, try a dry shampoo.
Reader's Digest lists hair restoration home remedies as a mixture of avocado and egg applied to wet hair for 20 minutes; butter massaged in and left for 30 minutes; or a half cup of warmed olive oil for 45 minutes. With all hair treatments, cover with a shower cap or plastic bag and shampoo and condition afterwards. RD.com also reminds to eat enough omega-3s or take a supplement.
The takeaway, asserts Allure, is moisture, moisture, moisture.

Twitter's new app for the iPhone and the iPod Touch became a haven for porn videos as soon as it was launched last week, and that has raised questions about Apple's (AAPL) policy on allowing apps that show adult content.
Pornographic content quickly became prevalent throughout Vine, the Twitter-owned app that lets users upload six-second videos shortly after becoming available for the Apple devices last Thursday.
Despite the videos, the app has been allowed to remain in the Apple App Store. Critics are accusing the Cupertino tech giant of having a double standard, since it has banned other apps with adult content.
Twitter apologized for the accident and explained its policy on adult content, saying those types of videos violate the app's guidelines and are removed. Twitter also said users who post porn can also be banned from using the app.

On February 1, President Obama released his fiscal year (FY) 2011 budget proposal which seeks to address both unemployment and rising deficits and includes many items of interest to landscape architects, including tax incentives for small businesses, investments in green infrastructure for water management, assistance for comprehensive community planning, and a strengthened Land and Water Conservation Fund program.
Specifically, the proposal includes a number of provisions to assist small businesses including assisting the Small Business Administration (SBA) with 7(a) loan guarantees that will help small businesses operate and increase the maximum 7(a) loan size from $2 million to $5 million. The President is also proposing an additional year of allowing companies – both large and small - to immediately deduct 50 percent of their qualifying investments. The budget also proposes a one year extension of allowing small businesses to immediately write off up to $250,000 of qualified investments in 2008 and 2009. This tax incentive was originally enacted under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) in early 2009. The budget also recommends completely eliminating the capital gains tax on small business stock. With jobs being at the forefront of the agenda for both the Administration and Congress, ASLA members can anticipate that Congress will act on many of these small business incentives as part of a jobs bill early in 2010.
In addition to the jobs piece, the president is proposing investment in green infrastructure technologies. In particular, the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) budget includes funding for the Clean Water and Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs) for states to provide low-interest loans to communities to finance wastewater and drinking water infrastructure and encourage and support green infrastructure projects. The proposal also seeks to expand green infrastructure research to assess, develop and compile tools and models that will be used to help the advancement and deployment of green infrastructure projects to address water management issues.
The Department of the Interior (DOI) budget reflects the commitment of President Obama and Secretary Ken Salazar to the Treasured Landscapes Initiative which seeks to protect some of our nation's most precious natural resources. Also included in the budget are significant investments in the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) for DOI and USDA to acquire new lands for national parks, forests and refuges, protect endangered species habitat, and promote outdoor recreation.
As part of the President's Partnership for Sustainable Communities the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) budget includes opportunities for comprehensive regional and community planning efforts that integrate transportation and housing investments that result in more regional and local sustainable development patterns, reduce greenhouse gases, and increase more transit accessible housing choices for residents.
Finally, the President's Department of Education budget provides assistance to encourage states to implement Environmental Literacy Plans for K-12 curriculums, which will provide our young people with quality environmental education.
As Congress begins to review the President's budget proposal, the ASLA Government Affairs team will continue to work to ensure that provisions that support the landscape architecture profession are implemented into law.

An area listing as some cancellations continue and some signs of normal life emerge:
A special town meeting in Shrewsbury will proceed as scheduled starting at 7 tonight in the Oak Middle School auditorium.
Thursday night had been a tentative date, depending on the impact of Hurricane Sandy, for the 14-article meeting.
The Registry of Motor Vehicles office at 80 Erdman Way, Leominster is closed today because of a power failure in the area, a police spokesman said. Other registry branches remain open.
Police Chief Donald Haapakoski told selectmen last night that trick-or-treating has been postponed to Friday in response to the hurricane. Hours are 5 to 8 p.m.
Worcester is among communities green-lighting scheduled trick-or-treating tomorrow, according to the city manager's office.
But unlike many other communities Worcester does not have set hours.
A spokesman in the city manager's office said work crews are removing debris left behind by Hurricane Sandy and there shouldn't be any impediments to children looking to add to their candy collection.
Worcester is asking residents to help in storm cleanup by bringing brush, branches and tree limbs with a diameter of 8 inches or less to the grass area between sidewalk and the trees and stacking it so pedestrians can walk on sidewalks safely.
Residents are reminded that tree limbs larger than 8 inches in diameter can only be disposed of using an Asian Longhorned Beetle USDA-certified tree contractor. All tree debris placed at the curbside that is under the guidelines listed will be collected beginning Monday.
City officials report that over 70 major trees and major limbs came down, and city forestry crews cleared roadways throughout the night. As of this afternoon there are no reports of trees completely blocking roadways. Cleanup of debris cleared by the city will begin tomorrow.
Worcester residents can bring tree limbs to the Millbury Street Yard Waste site from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The restrictions for tree disposal under the Asian Longhorned Beetle guidelines also apply to these limbs.
As of this morning there are just over 10,000 National Grid customers in the city without power in several areas. The College Hill/Greenwood Street area; Vernon Hill area; Webster Square area; West Tatnuck area; and neighborhoods around Worcester State University have been hit the hardest.
The highest percentage of outages is in the West Tatnuck and Vernon Hill area. Officials believe downed transmission lines are the cause.
Four dedicated tree crews and line crews from National Grid are working around the city to repair visible damage. Assessment teams are reviewing damage as well and city officials are awaiting information from National Grid on the timetable for repairs.

§3531. Congressional declaration of purpose
The Congress hereby declares that the general welfare and security of the Nation and the health and living standards of our people require, as a matter of national purpose, sound development of the Nation's communities and metropolitan areas in which the vast majority of its people live and work.
To carry out such purpose, and in recognition of the increasing importance of housing and urban development in our national life, the Congress finds that establishment of an executive department is desirable to achieve the best administration of the principal programs of the Federal Government which provide assistance for housing and for the development of the Nation's communities; to assist the President in achieving maximum coordination of the various Federal activities which have a major effect upon urban community, suburban, or metropolitan development; to encourage the solution of problems of housing, urban development, and mass transportation through State, county, town, village, or other local and private action, including promotion of interstate, regional, and metropolitan cooperation; to encourage the maximum contributions that may be made by vigorous private homebuilding and mortgage lending industries to housing, urban development, and the national economy; and to provide for full and appropriate consideration, at the national level, of the needs and interests of the Nation's communities and of the people who live and work in them.
(Pub. L. 89–174, §2, Sept. 9, 1965, 79 Stat. 667.)
Section was formerly classified to section 624 of former Title 5, Executive Departments and Government Officers and Employees, prior to the general revision and enactment of Title 5, Government Organization and Employee by Pub. L. 89–554, §1, Sept. 1, 1966, 80 Stat. 378.
Pub. L. 89–174, §11, Sept. 9, 1965, 79 Stat. 671, provided that:
"(a) The provisions of this Act [see Short Title note below] shall take effect upon the expiration of the first period of sixty calendar days following the date on which this Act is approved by the President [Sept. 9, 1965], or on such earlier date as the President shall specify by Executive order published in the Federal Register, except that any of the officers provided for in sections 3(a), 4(a), and 4(b) of this Act [sections 3532(a), 3533(a), and 3533(b) of this title] may be nominated and appointed, as provided in such sections, at any time after the date this Act is approved by the President [Sept. 9, 1965].
"(b) In the event that one or more officers required by this Act, to be appointed, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall not have entered upon office on the effective date of this Act, the President may designate any person who was an officer of the Housing and Home Finance Agency immediately prior to said effective date to act in such office until the office is filled as provided in this Act or until the expiration of the first period of sixty days following said effective date, whichever shall first occur. While so acting such persons shall receive compensation at the rates provided by this Act for the respective offices in which they act."

"(a) No cause of action by or against any agency whose functions are transferred by this Act [see Short Title note above and section 3534 of this title], or by or against any officer of any agency in his official capacity, shall abate by reason of this enactment. Such causes of action may be asserted by or against the United States or such official of the Department as may be appropriate.
"(b) No suit, action, or other proceeding commenced by or against any agency whose functions are transferred by this Act [see Short Title note above and section 3534 of this title], or by or against any officer of any such agency in his official capacity, shall abate by reason of the enactment of this Act. A court may at any time during the pendency of the litigation, on its own motion or that of any party, order that the same may be maintained by or against the United States or such official of the Department as may be appropriate.
"(c) Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Act [see Short Title note above], all powers and authorities conferred by this Act shall be cumulative and additional to and not in derogation of any powers and authorities otherwise existing. All rules, regulations, orders, authorizations, delegations, or other actions duly issued, made, or taken by or pursuant to applicable law, prior to the effective date of this Act [see Effective Date note above] by any agency, officer, or office pertaining to any functions, powers, and duties transferred by this Act shall continue in full force and effect after the effective date of this Act until modified or rescinded by the Secretary or such other officer or office of the Department as, in accordance with applicable law, may be appropriate. With respect to any function, power, or duty transferred by or under this Act and exercised hereafter, reference in another Federal law to the Housing and Home Finance Agency or to any officer, office, or agency therein, except the Federal National Mortgage Association and its officers, shall be deemed to mean the Secretary. The positions and agencies heretofore established by law in connection with the functions, powers, and duties transferred under section 5(a) of this Act [section 3534(a) of this title] shall lapse."

No. 12553, Feb. 25, 1986, 51 F.R. 7237. The Council was terminated and its functions transferred to the Domestic Council by section 2(b) of Ex. Ord. No. 11541, July 1, 1970, 35 F.R. 10737, set out as a note under section 501 of Title 31, Money and Finance.
Ex. Ord. No. 11668, Apr. 21, 1972, 37 F.R. 8057, provided:
By virtue of the authority vested in me as President of the United States and in accordance with the provisions of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 3531 et seq.), title VIII of the Housing Act of 1964, as amended (20 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), and title V of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (12 U.S.C. 1701z–1 et seq.), it is ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. The Nation's housing stock represents an important national resource which must be preserved and well managed if public and private investments are to be protected, and if we are to meet our goal of providing a decent home and suitable living environment for low and moderate income residents. The production of Federally-assisted housing has greatly expanded in recent years, creating a need for a balanced strategy to ensure that such housing remains viable for the purposes intended.
This expansion also creates a need for a growing supply of new management manpower for the years ahead. Special skills must be developed among these managers so that they can effectively overcome the social and economic problems facing many residents of Federally-assisted housing, including the elderly. Training, the improvement of career opportunities, and the upgrading of industry standards are all essential to the improvement of the Nation's housing management capability, particularly for low and moderate income housing.
Sec. 2. Establishment of a National Center for Housing Management. (a) The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development is directed to call upon public-spirited citizens, dedicated and experienced in the appropriate disciplines, to create, in accordance with existing laws, a new, non-governmental, not-for-profit institution to serve as a National Center for Housing Management (referred to herein as the Center).
(b) The Center should be designed to provide objective and independent leadership at the national level in helping meet the Nation's housing management and training needs and should work cooperatively with the Department of Housing and Urban Development and with the public and private organizations and institutions involved in, or affected by, its activities.
Sec. 3. Activities of the Center. The activities of the Center should be developed along lines that include the following objectives:
(1) Development of training and educational programs for housing management and personnel:
(2) Cooperation with public and private national, State, and local organizations and institutions in extending housing management training and educational opportunities, using to the fullest extent possible the services and facilities of existing agencies with expertise in training and education.
(3) Cooperation with national, State, and local organizations and institutions in establishing or expanding recruitment and placement systems that will link training in housing management to job opportunities in that field.

Trevor Releford scored 25 points and Alabama beat Villanova 77-55 Friday night.
NEW YORK — Trevor Releford scored 25 points and Alabama beat Villanova 77-55 on Friday night, running away in the second half to win the 2K Sports Classic benefiting the Wounded Warrior Project.
"I thought we came out tonight for 40 minutes and really did a good job," Alabama coach Anthony Grant said. "Our style of play defensively, I thought it was a great effort. You look at the numbers from a defensive standpoint, I felt like it was a pretty dominating performance by our guys."
Rodney Cooper had 17 points and the Crimson Tide (4-0) broke it open with some sharp 3-point shooting. Alabama, which made only 22 of 61 attempts (36 percent) from long range in its first three games, went 9 for 15 beyond the arc (60 percent) against a Villanova team that had held opponents to 33 percent on 3s.
JayVaughn Pinkston had 17 points to lead the Wildcats (3-1) and was selected to the all-tournament team in his return home to New York. Freshman guard Ryan Arcidiacono scored 11 for Villanova, which shot a miserable 32 percent from the field.

When a late evening 2012 Memorial Day fire gutted an 1898 North Carolina Railroad building on Craven Street, it marked the loss of another of New Bern�s historic structures.
When a late evening 2012 Memorial Day fire gutted an 1898 North Carolina Railroad building on Craven Street, it marked the loss of another of New Bern�s historic structures.
A day after the flames lit the evening sky, drawing hundreds of spectators, only the brick shell remained. The structural remains were later demolished and the site is now bare, located next door to Craven Supply Co. That business was saved by quick work of the New Bern Fire Department.
Thanks to a benevolent demolition contractor, the bricks from the historic building will survive and find a new life � walkway stones for a labyrinth being constructed off George Street by local artist Martin Kampitch.
In a bit of irony, the bricks leave a major transportation site � the hub area of the old Union Station Depot and adjacent work buildings � for Kampitch�s property, the former city bus station which now houses his Martin Henry studio.
Kampitch said he saw the massive pile of bricks and inquired with the haul-away truck driver, who said �we�re going to haul them and grind them up.�
The artist, who had been thinking of building his spiritual labyrinth for several months asked if he could have the bricks and was told yes.
�He even brought them over here,� Kampitch said, pointing to a 10-foot-high pile adjacent to the labyrinth site. �They (bricks) were going to be ground into dust and now they can be used to give back to the community.�
Kampitch explained that the labyrinth is a series of paths leading to and away from a center, used by ancient civilizations worldwide in what he termed �a path of life.�
�They can be used for reflection and finding purpose,� he said. �As you walk toward the center, you are actually walking further from it. But, you are actually walking toward it. It looks like you are not making headway. The lesson is to never give up.�
Kampitch said the labyrinth represents a �willingness to grow spiritually.�
�I personally feel that ultimately all questions can be resolved through personal growth,� he said.
Kampitch cleared land next door to his Martin Henry studio and using a basic labyrinth design, dug out the seven-pathway design inside a 45-foot-wide circle by hand.
Saturday is World Labyrinth Day and he is inviting friends and anyone interested to come and help place the bricks in the paths. He plans to begin about 9 a.m.
�It doesn�t require brick and mortar skills,� he said. �It is just brick and sand.�
Once completed, the site will have a garden, gate and artwork.
He said it will be open and free for anyone to come by and walk the paths.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. � Officials say a small jet that took off from Idaho has crashed into a storage hangar and started a large fire after landing at a Southern California airport.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says the twin-engine Cessna Citation that took off from Hailey, Idaho, went off the right side of the runway at Santa Monica Municipal Airport at about 6:20 p.m. Sunday night and struck the hangar.
Santa Monica Fire Department spokeswoman Bridgett Lewis says the fire has destroyed the hangar and caused minor damage to two other buildings.
It was not immediately clear how many people were on the plane or inside the hangar, or whether anyone was injured.
A plume of smoke rising above the airport can be seen in the surrounding neighborhood.

It took until Day 3 of the 2013 NFL draft, but we're finally having a run on quarterbacks.
The Oakland Raiders took former Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson with the 112th overall pick, making Wilson the third quarterback to go in the fourth round. Wilson follows USC's Matt Barkley to the Eagles and Syracuse's Ryan Nassib to the Giants.
Wilson had an excellent 2011 season against great competition in the SEC and was viewed as a potential first-round pick. But in 2012, the entire Arkansas program fell apart when coach Bobby Petrino decided to take his mistress for a motorcycle ride, and Wilson struggled along with the rest of his team, and as a result his draft stock took a tumble.
The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Wilson has a strong arm and looks like a future starter in the NFL. The question is how he'll fit in a Raiders depth chart that also features Matt Flynn and Terrelle Pryor. That may turn out to be one of the most interesting quarterback situations in the NFL this summer.

New York Knicks' forward David Lee won't be playing in this year's all-star game, but his performance so far this year appears to be serious cause for the Knicks to make Lee part of their long-term plans.
The argument for Lee's inclusion on the 2009 NBA Eastern Conference all-star roster is a difficult one to make with the impressive seasons that this year's all-star reserves, Chris Bosh, Danny Grangier, Devin Harris, Rashard Lewis, Joe Johnson, Jameer Nelson, and Paul Pierce have had.
However, Lee's production at least entered him into the realistic discussion for the warranting of an all-star selection. And now, Lee's solid play may also be convincing Knicks' General Manager Donnie Walsh to make the 6-foot-9, 240-pound power forward a centerpiece of Walsh's rebuilding of the Knicks rather than making Lee the Knicks' latest salary cap casualty.
The jury had been out on Lee, who despite showing intense hustle and good athleticism, had averaged no higher than 10.8 points and 10.4 rebounds in any of his first three seasons in New York.
But, with Lee now flourishing under the new system brought to New York by new Knicks' Head Coach Mike D'Antoni's, Lee's offensive output through January had ballooned to 15.9 points and 11.7 rebounds per game, as Lee has increasingly showed the ability to run the floor well, score with both hands and a nice touch, while continuing to play consistent, hard-nosed defense.
Lee, a restricted free agent, earns $1.79 million this season and is on the books for a qualifying offer of $2.68 million next year, but his contract is due to come off the books in the 2010-11 season. That's the big free-agent year during which the Knicks will seek to make a major step forward adding however many possible stars from the like of Lebron James, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudamire, Dwayne Wade, or others.
Walsh has been extremely aggressive in working toward that goal, already trading away the Knicks top two scorers, Zach Randolph and Jamal Crawford, earlier this season.
With Lee's agent Mark Bartelstein seeking a reported $10 million in a new deal for Lee, Walsh, in his first year as the Knicks' GM, wanted to see what he had in Lee over at least one full season before making Lee an integral part of the Knicks' future.
Yet, before the all-star break, Walsh might already be impressed enough to work out a new deal to keep Lee instead of making him the next Knick to be traded out of New York. Walsh reportedly said over the weekend that it's highly unlikely that Lee would be traded before the February 19th deadline and that he is committed to resigning Lee.
Walsh realizes that Lee has been a huge part of the Knicks' path back to respectability this season. With Randolph and Crawford gone, Lee has become the Knicks' leading rebounder and second-leading scorer. After alternating just 23 and 33 wins in non-playoff seasons over the past four years, the Knicks, through January, were 21-25, just a half-game behind 24-27 Milwaukee for the eight and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. New York won 6 of its final 7 games in January with Lee averaging 18.9 points and 13.7 rebounds per game over that stretch.
Further convincing Walsh, Lee, through January, was the Knicks leading rebounder in 34 of the Knicks' first 45 games, and had 35 double-doubles, tying him for most in the NBA.
As Lee continues to make a believer of Walsh, he figures to remain One To Watch in New York.
