Central Oregon is a tinderbox right now. Relative humidity in Bend is 13% at 91° and a dew point around 40° :/ We'll see how the comprehensive emergency plan that took over a year to budget and develop works.

Amazon is Refunding LEE Solar Eclipse Filter Buyers, Warning Against Use
"According to LEE, all photographic filters for the solar eclipse are designed this way and Amazon might end up pulling them all if they realize this is the case. So the lucky people that ordered from Amazon should be perfectly ok using the filter on their mirrorless camera or with live view. Just don't try to view the eclipse directly through the filter!"
This means they won't protect your eyes when using an SLR or DSLR camera (when looking through the finder) where the light is passed through the optical system. In the case of mirror-less cameras, where you are seeing an electronic image, it isn't a problem.
LEE is a major maker of filter materials. Many filters are sourced / rebranded LEE filters.

Lou Donaldson
Lou Donaldson has recorded many strong sessions throughout his career but this CD reissue brings back one of the less-significant ones. Organist Leon Spencer dominates the ensembles, the material is a bit trivial and the altoist/leader uses a baritone sax on some of the selections which makes him sound much less individual than usual. Trumpeter Blue Mitchell's solos and a fine closing jam on "Love" help upgrade the music a bit but there are many better Donaldson recordings to acquire first. ~ Scott Yanow

NASCAR Drivers That Have Failed Random Drug Tests
It was announced this last weekend, shortly before the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona, that A.J. Allmendinger was suspended for failing a drug test. Details of Allmendinger's case are still to come, and he can appeal his suspension, or meet guidelines set by NASCAR and eventually return to racing, but this brings to mind some other drivers that have failed drug tests in recent years.
Probably the most talked about in recent years, is Jeremy Mayfield. Jeremy joined the NASCAR Winston Cup series in 1994, driving for the Sadler Brothers. In 2002 Mayfield signed with Ray Evernham Motor Sports and replaced Casey Atwood. In 2009 Mayfield announced that he would be fielding a self-owned Toyota for a full season and he raced his way into the 2009 Daytona 500. Not long after that on May 9, 2009 Mayfield got all tangled up, by testing positive for methamphetamine. Mayfield claimed it was a mixture of over the counter medications (Claritin D) and prescription meds that gave a false positive. On July 1, 2009 a federal judge granted an injunction to let Mayfield back on the track. Then, on July 15, 2009 NASCAR reported that Jeremy Mayfield again tested positive for methamphetamine, and was permanently suspended from NASCAR. In November of 2011 Catawba County Sheriffs deputies searched Mayfield's home after getting a tip that he and four friends were staging burglaries to pay for his meth habit. They found 1.5 grams of meth in a safe and more than $100,000 in stolen property. The case with Mayfield is on-going, but he will not race again.
Old school racer Randy LaJoie made his NASCAR debut in 1983, thru the years he has driven multiple cars, in multiple series, for multiple teams, including the NASCAR Truck Series for Kevin Harvick Racing. LaJoie owns and operates a fairly successful racing seat company, and did some commentary work for a satellite radio show, and some television work for the Montreal Busch series. In 2010 LaJoie was not driving but working as a crew member for the #18 Nationwide Series car, and received an indefinite suspension from NASCAR for failing a drug test. LaJoie admitted to smoking pot with some fans after the Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte, and took full responsibility. In August of 2010 he was reinstated by NASCAR after a two month suspension.
One of the most controversial drug testing incidents involved Shane Hmiel. Shane was Rookie of the Year in the NASCAR Goody's Dash series. He competed in the NASCAR Busch Series in 2002, and 2003. In September of '03 he was suspended indefinitely for testing positive for heroin. He was reinstated in 2004 after meeting all of the guidelines, and demands that NASCAR set for him. Then in 2005 he failed another drug test, this time testing positive for marijuana, and cocaine. This brought another suspension beginning in May 2005. NASCAR offered Shane a chance to get back behind the wheel if he would submit to medical and psychological testing, and frequent drug tests. Hmiel agreed, but in February 2006 he failed another drug test and was banned from NASCAR for life. After drug rehab, and being sober for three years Shane eventually raced in all three of the touring divisions of the U.S.A.C. (United States Auto Club) Silver Crown Series. He stated in April of 2010 that his NASCAR suspension was the best thing to ever happen to him. October 9, 2010 Shane was racing in a USAC Silver Crown Car at Terre Haute, Indiana when he was involved in a crash. The roll cage collapsed and he received severe head, back, and neck injuries that left him paralyzed. His mother created a Facebook page "Shane Hmiel - Road to Recovery" to share updates on his condition.
One of the more tragic cases involved Kevin Grubb. Kevin began his association with NASCAR in the Truck Series in 1996. He only had two starts that season. In his first race he finished in 18th place. His second race ended with an accident on the 48th lap. Grubb moved up to the NASCAR Busch Series in 1997 and ran multiple races for a couple of different teams in the series until 2001, and amassed 18 top 10 finishes. His only attempt at the Sprint Cup Series came in 2002 when he made an attempt at qualifying for the Pontiac Excitement 400 in Richmond, but spun out on his second qualifying lap, and didn't make the race. He was racing in the NASCAR junior series again when he failed his first drug test in March of 2004, and was suspended. He stayed inactive until 2006 when NASCAR reinstated him after he agreed to some conditions, one of which was frequent, random drug tests. He drove in five Nationwide races before he received an indefinite suspension in September of 2006 for refusing a drug test after a second lap crash in Richmond. He never raced again. On May 6, 2009 Kevin Grubb was found in a Virginia hotel room dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was 31 years old.

The photographer Elinor Carucci's recent series Mother reads like a visual diary of the pains and pleasures of motherhood, a raw and uncensored confessional of love and a complex relationship to the female body. Within the aesthetic framework of more traditional portrayals of the mother, she highlights the visceral and bodily with romantic reverence.
Carucci relies in part upon the image of the art historical Virgin Mary, mirroring Renaissance paintings in which the virgin clasps the child in her lap, his soft baby limps coiled around her abdomen. Similarly, a strange and beautiful self-portrait features the artist in a hospital bed, a mysterious and seemingly divine light shone directly over her womb. With symmetry evocative of Renaissance art, her newborn twins nurse at her breasts, each head resting on a pillow of deep blue characteristic of the virgin.
Mother transforms our understanding of the divine, expanding it to apply to real, mortal women, our bodies and our fears. Unlike Mary, our protagonist is not a virgin; instead, her sexuality is the source of her creative energy; her milky breasts are shown alongside the vulva, her stretch marks and scars creating s subtle cross in the center of her torso. Her daughter, appropriately named Eden, sneaks a look down her mother's underwear, marveling at the beauty and power of the genital area with moving innocence, her face bathed in light.
With the beauty of life and love comes the poignant fact of growing up and innocence lost. As the girl's hair is cut, her green eyes are stricken with fear, the bothersome remains of lost hair littering her face. Similarly, a child bears a wound, which swells painfully from her lip like a ripe pomegranate seed; during bath time, she wriggles from her mother's arms, shot in relative darkness, desperate to return to a state of play. Take a look. Mother is currently on display at New York's Edwynn Houk Gallery. (via Beautiful Is Now and Feature Shoot)

NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - San Francisco 49ers tackle Joe Staley is a key component in the offensive line that will protect quarterback Colin Kaepernick in Sunday's Super Bowl but the two-time Pro Bowl selection initially hated the position so much he cried when switched.
It was in Staley's second year at Central Michigan University where he was told he was going to have to move to tackle by current Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly and it was not a suggestion that was well received.
"I was a sprinter and all of that stuff. I was really fast. I ran a 21 in the 200. Then I got fat," Staley said.
"I played tight end my freshman year in college. Brian Kelly came in and said 'We do not use tight ends in our offense but we want to keep you on the field in some way. We are going to move you to tackle.'
"I cried my eyes out. I am not afraid to admit it. I almost transferred but then stayed, gained weight, busted my butt and got drafted."
Staley arrived at college weighing 220 pounds (99.7 kg) but left 70 pounds (31.7 kg) heavier but he remained quick and he also learned how to play his new role well enough to be a first round pick by the Niners in 2007.
The self-belief may always have been present but it has been coupled with the acknowledgement that he had to learn and work if he was going to make it in the pros.
"I am still working at my craft. I came in with the mentality that came from high school. I was third-string my junior year in high school.
"I had a heck of a high school football coach that really instilled that work ethic and would always work us," he said.
Staley's displays as part of an impressive offensive line, which he calls the "Big Uglies," have earned him the respect of opponents such as Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs.
"He's very good offensive tackle. I always thought he's really underrated, but he was a Pro Bowler this year so I think he finally gets his just due. He came down to Baltimore last year and I had a little bit of a hard time with him."
49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has singled Staley out for his leadership skills and it is clear that he buys into the coach's well-known approach to the game.
"The whole entire group of the offensive line is just tirelessly working always on something whether it be film study, the weight room or on the field. It is never a finished product.
"And here we are in the Super Bowl and we are still trying to get, to quote Jim Harbaugh, 'One mile faster'."

Announcing Record Level Security Preview for the Common Data Service (Previous Version)
Today we are extremely pleased to announce the preview of record level security in the Common Data Service! With security policies, you can limit the data records that are returned to the user, reducing the need for application level restrictions. The ability to define record level security will expand on the entity level security that is available today via User roles. We've heard from many users and customers that record level security is a critical part of the applications they're building so we are bringing that to you now.
The Common Data Service uses a role-based security model to ensure users have proper access to data. Access to a collection of data is granted within a permission set and a collection of permission sets can be associated with a role. Users can then be assigned to a role and leverage all the data they are granted access to. For a more detailed description of the Common Data Service security model, refer to the Common Data Service Security Model document.
An Introduction to Security Policies
A security policy restricts a user's access by placing a condition on one or more fields included in the record. If the condition is met, then an action on the data can be performed. Separate policies can be defined for each data operation: Create, Read, Update, and Delete. This provides the flexibility to define the right data restrictions for every potential scenario. For example, store employees should be able to see (read) all of the Products that are in the system, but only modify the ones that are active (and not delete any!).
We are announcing preview support for two types of record level security policies today, picklist based policies and principal based policies. Security policies based on picklist allow you to define access based on the value of a picklist included in the record. For example, you can limit a list of customer accounts to only those accounts where the status is active. Principal based policies are dependent on the principal, in most cases an end user, who is currently connected to the Common Data Service. For example, the list of customer accounts can be limited to only return those accounts where the current user is listed as the owner of the customer account.
Building a Security Policy
A security policy is comprised of three parts, the field the policy is tied to, the operator relating the field to a value, and the value the field must be compatible with. The structure of the preceding customer account example is shown below.
|Account Status
|Account Owner
|Current User
The combination of the operator and the value define the condition that must be passed for a record to be included. If a user attempts to get or interact with data from the Common Data Service and the value of the field matches the value in the condition, the check will pass and the user will be allowed to continue. If the check fails, the operation will be blocked.
The condition portion of a security policy (Operator + Value) only depends on the field type being compatible with the value defined in the policy. This allows the same policy to be reused with a field of the same type on the same or different entity. In our example, the Account Status policy could be applied on any entity where the Account Status picklist is used.
Record level security can be configured in the Security section of the Admin Center. Step by step instructions are included in the Configure Database Security article. Security configuration can also be done in code via the Common Data Service SDK.
How Policies are Combined
It is common for multiple record level security policies to be applied to a single request to the Common Data Service. To ensure the proper view of data, it is important to understand how multiple policies will be applied together.
Policies that are assigned to a single entity operation (Create, Read, Update, Delete) within the same permission set must all be met for a record to be returned. The policies are combined with a logical AND inside of a permission set.
If multiple policies are set on the same entity in different permission sets, records will be returned if they pass only the policies defined in any of the individual permission sets. The policies are combined with a logical OR between permission sets.
How to Get Access to Preview Programs
The record level security features described in this blog are currently in preview. We want to make sure we get this solid before rolling out broadly. If you are interested in trying out this functionality and providing feedback, please join the Common Data Service preview programs! You can join the program by sending mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I've suspected for a while that Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty would be John McCain's choice for VP, but it's not to be. Pawlenty told a local radio station this morning that he's heading for the Minnesota State Fair, not Dayton, Ohio. "You can draw your own conclusions," he added.
Meanwhile, CNN is reporting that Sarah Palin flew from Anchorage to Dayton last night. If that's right, it looks like she's the choice. More on that later.
UPDATE: OK, it's later. I'm worried about Palin. I'm afraid she may be the Geraldine Ferraro of 2008. If she really is the nominee, will it come across as a desperation move, a Hail Mary, as Mondale's choice of Ferraro did in 1984? I'm afraid so. Her experience just doesn't justify a place on the ticket. If McCain really wanted to go radical, Bobby Jindal was the far sounder choice–but maybe Jindal turned him down, on the theory that he needs to do his job as Governor of Louisiana before trying to go national.
On the bright side, Mitt Romney reportedly is in Dayton too, so maybe he's the Veep pick and Palin is just there to introduce him. Or something like that.
ONE MORE: The AP says the McCain camp "hopes the announcement of his running mate will stunt any momentum that Democratic rival Barack Obama might get from the just concluded Democratic National Convention." If it really is Palin, I'm afraid the opposite will happen. Press reaction will be 100% negative; the emphasis will all be on Palin's inexperience–she's been Governor of Alaska for less than two years–and the fallout will augment, not limit, Obama's convention bounce. The most important thing McCain has going for him in this race is the perception that he is the serious candidate. Choosing a running mate who will be widely perceived as unqualified would go a long way toward squandering that advantage.
Don't get me wrong: I like Sarah Palin, from what little I know of her, and I'd much rather have her as President than Barack Obama. What we're talking here is politics. If McCain loses the election, it's all for naught.
PAUL adds: I agree with John, and it's not just politics. I don't want to prejudge Palin, but she's going to have to persuade me she's qualified for the presidency, and this won't be easy. I hope we're witnessing the kind of misdirection that promised us Edith Clement and delivered John Roberts. Not that we have a Roberts for this office.
On the other hand, my friend Bill Otis, who is at least as old school as I am and usually more astute, writes:
If she's the pick, it's a stroke of genius. It will rally the base and have some level of appeal to women, who at this point must be feeling a little left out of things.
You once remarked to me — in pre-Monica days — that Clinton "discovered women" [as a political force]. I think the Dems have somewhat undiscovered them, or have come to take them for granted, and if McCain can now make the discovery they've left on the wayside, it's all to the good.
Of course we aren't going to get the feminist vote, but Palin will help with working women and suburban soccer moms. If McCain winds up winning, which I now give him a roughly 50% chance of doing, selecting a woman will get some of the credit, and deservedly so.
Palin will need tutoring against Biden, however. He can pack more lies into one sentence than anyone since Slick Willy — indeed even more, since the sentences are longer.
UPDATE: It's official.
FURTHER UPDATE: For a more positive assessment, go here.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel has been talking about fielding a global news network to compete with the likes of CNN, the BBC and Al Jazeera for years. It appears that dream might finally come true this summer with the launch of i24news.
Privately funded so that it will not rely on government backing or donations from the Jewish community, i24news will be based in the greater Tel Aviv area from where it will broadcast worldwide in English, French and Arabic.
A number of prominent figures from the Israeli broadcasting scene have joined i24news, giving it a far better chance of success than previous proposals for an Israeli global news network.
With Israel and the conflicts surrounding it commanding so much focus from the international media, it makes sense for the Jewish state to be broadcasting news from its perspective to a global audience.
Those interested can already visit www.i24news.tv and sign up to be notified when the channel officially launches.

NORTON, Mass. – Despite outscoring Wheaton College, 9-3, in the second half, it would not be enough as the Lyons would hold on for a 13-11 victory over the MIT women's lacrosse team on Saturday. Senior Laura Wacker (Brooklyn, N.Y.) paced the Engineers with four goals and an assist as they ledger moved to 2-3 on the year and 0-1 in NEWMAC play.
Freshman Kira Schott (New Canaan, Conn.) tallied two goals, four draw controls, and two caused turnovers for MIT. Seniors Meghan Wright (Devon, Pa.) and Molly McShane (Lake Bluff, Ill.), junior Erica Du (Excelsior, Minn.), sophomore Emma Kane (Garden City, N.Y.), and freshman Isabella DiDio (Jenkintown, Pa.) each scored a goal. Wright and freshman Nadia Wallace (Rochester, N.Y.) both recorded two draw controls while sophomore Candice Kaplan (Arlington, Va.) collected six saves.
The Lyons opened the game with four unanswered goals before Wacker put MIT on the board at the 19:20 mark. Wheaton tacked on three more goals to extend its lead to 7-1 but a solo effort by Kane came with nine minutes left in the half. The hosts then scored three more times to enter the break ahead, 10-2.
Schott found the back of the net after 27 seconds elapsed in the second stanza but the Lyons quickly reestablished their comfortable cushion. Back-to-back strikes by Wacker narrowed the gap to six (11-5) with 26:26 on the clock. The game became a defensive battle during the next 11 minutes until Wheaton ended its scoring drought. The Engineers responded with goals by DiDio, Wright, Wacker, and Schott to trim their deficit to three (12-9) with 10:39 left to play.
The Lyons controlled possession for a majority of the next four minutes before registering what proved to be their final goal of the day. The game became a back-and-forth affair until Du converted a feed from Wright with 1:17 remaining while McShane found the back of the net with 19 ticks on the clock. Wheaton then collected the ensuing draw control to hold on for the victory.
Next up for MIT will be a pair of games at Colorado Colleges. The Engineers will take on the host Tigers on Tuesday, March 26 with a game against Pacific University slated for the following day.

Hasina Muhammad notched her first career double-double in leading Auburn to a 69-59 win at George Washington.
WASHINGTON, D.C. �— Auburn junior Hasina Muhammad notched her first career double-double, tying her career high with 21 points along with 10 rebounds and nine steals, in leading the Tigers to a 69-59 win at George Washington on Wednesday night.
The win also was a special one for Auburn head coach Terri Williams-Flournoy, as it was the 150th of her career.
"What better place to get the win than back here in Washington, D.C.," said Williams-Flournoy, who spent her first eight years as a head coach in Washington, D.C., at Georgetown. "I really did not think about it. When you think about all the accolades and everything you get as a coach, you really don't remember them when it is game time. Our most important thing was to win the ballgame."
The win was not an easy one, as the Tigers (7-2) had to fight off several Colonial runs. Auburn took a 13-point lead at halftime and extended it to 16 points early in the second half, but George Washington mounted the first of its comebacks to tie the game up with 12:58 left in the game.
Auburn had used a run of its own to take the lead in the opening half, going on an 11-2 run to close out the period for the 36-23 lead.
After the Colonials (4-5) tied the game up in the second half, the Tigers went on a 10-2 run to pull back away at 51-43 with 9:04 to go. Auburn took a 9-point lead with 5:57 to play, but George Washington mounted another comeback, a 10-2 run of its own, to cut the lead to just one with 4:48 to play.
Auburn responded by scoring the next six points, a 3-point play from Muhammad and a trey from Blanche Alverson, to take a 64-57 lead. The Tigers allowed the Colonials no closer than five the rest of the way.
Muhammad fueled the Auburn offense in the second half, scoring 14 of her 21 points in the final 20 minutes. The 21 points ties her career high and is the fourth time this season to score 20 or more points. She also pulled down a career high 10 rebounds, for her first career double-double.
Her nine steals rank her fourth all-time at Auburn in single-game seals.
Alverson scored 14 points on the night, including three 3-pointers. The three treys move her into a tie for fourth all-time at Auburn in career 3-pointers.
While Muhammad flirted with a triple-double, point guard Najat Ouardad did as well with 10 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. She also picked up three steals on the night.
Four George Washington players finished in double figures, led by Megan Nipe with 13.

Garden FeedbackMay 09, 2003
Wow, this has been quite a trip for me.
The feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive, and I appreciate everbody who has taken the time to view the work and comment. It took till this morning to see my first negative comment, when I was expecting far more of them off the mark. I knew I rushed to get it up, so Mac testing was a bit on the light side. Most people have understood this, and supported the project.
Stormweather has, of course, been the biggest problem. Seems like most every Mac browser cringed, with the added bonus of assorted Mozilli 1.3 onwards balking too. Which is odd, because Netscape 7 and Mozilla 1.0 didn't seem to have any problems with it. Ain't life grand? I received an e–mail from Phillipe Wittenbergh this morning with a corrected style sheet. Thanks Phillipe!
A couple of submissions have made their way across my inbox, and I hope to get my first user submission up over the weekend. This is where the project starts to get real interesting.
On to the reviews. Pardon me as I toot my own horn for a bit, but it's comments like these that put the perma–grin on my face yesterday.
How cool is this. Via Simon Willison comes news of the CSS Zen garden, a stunning "demonstratation of what can be accomplished visually through CSS–base design." What a fantastic idea.
— Jeremy Hedley, AntiPixel
Want to see some wonderful, and strikingly different, designs for the same content? Want to contribute your own themes? Then get on over to the CSS Zen Garden. I have two reactions: delight and jealousy.
— Eric Meyer, MeyerWeb (among others)
We need more examples which show the integration of beautiful design and solid structure. Mezzoblue's Zen Garden is certainly one of them. It's this kind of stuff which inspires me to the core and makes me want to contribute.
— Douglas Bowman, StopDesign (emphasis his)
That rocks. Thanks also due to Craig Saila, Nathan Steiner of Web Graphics, Simon Willison of Incutio, Ian Lloyd of Accessify, the esteemed Jeffrey Zeldman, and many, many more. It's your great comments and constructive criticism that have made the past month of work worthwhile.
Reader Comments
Eric - no brushing off will occur on this site. ;)
I respect the work that the structurists are doing, and I see the semantic web as a potentially beautiful and useful thing. I'm sold on the concept, which is why I've bent over backward to make sure that my code is real nice. XHTML1.1 was a big step for me, AAA even more so.
But a lot of the really good, solid designers are code-ignorant. And a lot of the structurists are color-blind. There's not a lot of common ground between them, they'll rarely play in the same sandbox.
The Garden is probably a little more on the semantic side, than the design side, if I had to be honest. The sites that have been linking to it are ALL from the 'standards' crowd. The 'sexy design' crowd (K10k, DiK, WellVetted, SurfStation, PixelSurgeon and so forth) haven't made a peep. This is why a project like this is so difficult; you can't be all things to all people.
There has to be some sort of reconciliation; we all work in the same medium, for God's sake, why are we always disrespecting each other's work? Misunderstanding, I believe. Show me a structurist that 'gets' the design sites I linked above, and I'll show you a guy worth ten times more than the rest of them. And vice-versa.
I don't claim to be the guy that'll bring both crowds together; I don't see it happening any time soon. But somewhere along the way, somebody has to point out that, hey, we all want the same thing. Great, usable web sites that make our clients rich, offer a fantastic user experience, and look good on our portfolios. Hopefully the Zen Garden is a step in the right direction.
Addressing your points:
1) The ideal markup probably wouldn't even need first and final, it would simply rely on CSS selectors. I would have loved to let it go at #preamble>p+p+p, but it's simply not pratical enough right now, browser support being what it is. I made a really serious attempt at not assigning classes to those
's, but I needed the extra flexibility. The Hack Hotbot contest I participated in recently was far too constraining for some of the ideas I had in mind; I made sure not to make that mistake with the Garden.
2) Yep, I dropped the ball on that. Douglas Bowman was the first to point that out to me, and I've no doubt he won't be the last. I'm not quite sure how I didn't see it, but… I didn't see it. Oh well. Maybe I'll whip up a v1.1 before I get too many submissions…
unofficial point 3) Again, flexibility is my main concern. I want the submitted designs to really be things of beauty; I don't want the creators to have to worry about excessive hacking of existing elements for the subtle effects that need to go into an effective design. As it happens, I only used one of those on the main design and didn't touch them for the others, but it's still comforting to know they're there if I need 'em for future designs. Once the dust clears, I'm going to go back and play some more.
The Zen Garden is really really nice. And you know what is even nicer? I poped it's url into the text browser Lynx, and it displayes perfectly, as you can see in the screen shot I made:
Now show me a table based layout that looks this good in graphical browsers, and in the same time works so well in a text only browser!
First of all, kudos to you for taking the initiative to get designers on board with CSS. I would like to offer some constructive criticism that might be useful if you do another version of the page. Please don't brush this off as the rantings of a structural purist, I would simply like to illuminate some points that will probably come up when designer and programmer meet.
1. The p classes p1, p2, p3 aren't very semantically relevant. The ideal markup would denote first and final. So it would be something like:

foo

foo

Now if you only have one item, it should be

foo

or possibly a new class

foo

2. Lists should be lists. Your span class="iL" should be li elements. Why? Because you are denoting a list, which non-css agents will render well, typically as a bulleted list. Using spans means they will render inline and will be tough to distinguish as individual pieces. You shouldn't lose any flexibility by putting them in li but you will definitely gain a better page under degredation (like Lynx)
Regarding the extra spans and the empty divs that a purist would complain about, you obviously have some good experience making pages and know how necessary these are. The purist who really understands the concept behind the specs and recommendations should realize this and also realize that you aren't really hurting the semantic strength of the document.
All in all, excellent work, I might even submit a design…
The Zen Garden is a fabulous idea and beautifully done. Perfect for a mention on Web Teacher!
A note for anyone checking this in the future: I've modified the Garden and all current submissions to address Eric's point #2 in the above comments. I built it using  for the various link lists, which rightly should have been
's from the start. One more step towards semantic purity…

My son and I recently attended a talk regarding Income Inequality at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Vancouver. I went because the speaker has had hundreds of his articles published in progressive websites like OpEdNews, and I always had thought of him as one of the good guys.
Now I don't.
I've tried a number of different approaches to writing about the event and I thought it was best to keep the speaker anonymous for now and just let his statements speak for themselves.
What's happening in the United States, the divisiveness, the polarization, again, is related to this fundamental economic problem. Because when so many people feel that they're working so hard, they're working harder than ever, but they're not getting anywhere. They're actually falling behind. They feel economically insecure.
When all of those people feel that the game is rigged against them, they get angry. They get frustrated. They're very prone to demagogues on the left or the right - it doesn't matter who want to point the finger of blame at immigrants or at the poor or at the rich, at corporations or at government or at the trade unions. There's a lot of blame to go around."
This was the first WTF moment.

"Joel Salatin might seem like a vision of our agrarian past, but in fact, he's distinctly modern, looking beyond the conventional toward a new 'normal' based on community, ecology, and flavor, too. Salatin's book is as practical as it is reflective; as necessary as it is radical."
―Dan Barber, Chef/Co-owner Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns
From farmer Joel Salatin's point of view, life in the 21st century just ain't normal. In FOLKS, THIS AIN'T NORMAL, he discusses how far removed we are from the simple, sustainable joy that comes from living close to the land and the people we love. Salatin has many thoughts on what normal is and shares practical and philosophical ideas for changing our lives in small ways that have big impact.
Salatin, hailed by the New York Times as "Virginia's most multifaceted agrarian since Thomas Jefferson [and] the high priest of the pasture" and profiled in the Academy Award nominated documentary Food, Inc. and the bestselling book The Omnivore's Dilemma, understands what food should be: Wholesome, seasonal, raised naturally, procured locally, prepared lovingly, and eaten with a profound reverence for the circle of life. And his message doesn't stop there. From child-rearing, to creating quality family time, to respecting the environment, Salatin writes with a wicked sense of humor and true storyteller's knack for the revealing anecdote.
Salatin's crucial message and distinctive voice-practical, provocative, scientific, and down-home philosophical in equal measure-make FOLKS, THIS AIN'T NORMAL a must-read book.

Summer Science Program Challenges Top H.S. Students
SOCORRO, N.M. June 14, 2012 – Three dozen of the world's top high school science students are spending six weeks in the 10th annual Summer Science Program at New Mexico Tech. For the next 39 days the students representing 15 states and four countries will spend their days in college-level lectures, and their nights imaging and measuring the speck of light from a near-earth asteroid.
The intensive program also features a public lecture series on topics ranging from science fiction and dark energy to asteroids and underground life. The lectures – all in Weir 102 – are free and open to the public.
Working in teams of three, students will take a series of images of their chosen asteroid using telescopes at Etscorn Observatory. The teams will measure the asteroid's position precisely in each image, then write software to calculate its orbital elements from those measurements.
Students find that this intense, hands-on research experience gives them crucial inspiration and preparation to major in science or engineering in college. They work with university professors and meet prominent guest speakers, plus enjoy behind-the-scenes tours of Magdalena Ridge Observatory, EMRTC, the Very Large Array, and other technical installations in the region.
Tech provides facilities, and Sandia National Labs sponsors the guest lecture series, to which the campus community is invited.
"We're very pleased to return for our tenth summer at Tech. Everyone here is extremely supportive, and the facilities are perfect for our program" said Richard Bowdon, Executive Director.
SSP is operated by an independent non-profit, in cooperation with New Mexico Tech, Caltech, MIT, and Westmont College. Complete information is at www.summerscience.org.

But this time there's a twist: He invited a banker. Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein gets to join the club.
The first meeting had attracted a bit of a hullabaloo among Wall Street watchers because the President, while looking for help solving the fiscal crisis, turned to corporate titans but no bankers. With his infamous "fat cat" reference and the perception of a distrust of Wall Street, the slight appeared pointed to some.
But now Obama has let in Blankfein, despite Goldman Sachs abandoning him in the election. That makes one banker out of 26 CEOs that have publicly met with the president.
That doesn't mean the president has completely given Wall Street the silent treatment. Bloomberg has reported the President did drop in on a separate, private meeting with several financial industry titans including Blackstone President Tony James and Evercore Chairman Roger Altman earlier this month.
Here's a list of the CEOs attending the White House meeting on Wednesday:

Microsoft Developing New Windows Server
The new Windows Server SKU called, at least for now, Windows Midmarket Server (MMS) is still not soup yet. But Microsoft executives have a good idea about how they plan to reach the mid-market sweet spot, which Microsoft identifies as users with 50 to 250 PCs.
As does Windows Small Business Server, the MMS product will bundle together a number of different Microsoft server products into a single deliverable. Exchange Server and SharePoint are expected to be part of the MMS SKU, sources close to Microsoft said.
(Windows Small Business Server integrates into a single package Windows Server 2003, Windows SharePoint Services, Exchange Server 2003, SQL Server 2000, and ISA Server 2000, along with a handful of desktop programs, including Outlook 2003, a shared fax program and FrontPage 2003.)
Orlando Ayala, senior vice president of Microsoft's small and midmarket solutions and partner group, confirmed Microsoft's plans for a mid-market server during a recent interview with Microsoft Watch.
"In the next six months, we'll roll out something very clear," Ayala said, in terms of Microsoft's strategy to target mid-market business-decision-makers.
Ayala said Microsoft believes there are an estimated 1.7 million mid-market customers ripe for the picking.
"We need to understand the segment in a different way," he said. Instead of focusing on penetration rates, Microsoft will focus on scenarios. The company is developing tools to evaluate how sophisticated mid-market users are, in terms of their IT-savvy quotient, and use that data to target specific slices of the audience, Ayala said.
Microsoft plans to come at the mid-market with a solution very much like Windows Small Business Server, a product that Microsoft considers one of its most successful, Ayala said.
"We're targeting our R&D (research and development) very precisely for that segment," he said.
Ayala said Microsoft is currently aiming to bundle together five different Microsoft server products, though he did not specify which ones.
The five will look like a single server, from a virtual view," Ayala said. He also declined to comment on when Microsoft would field the MMS bundle. Sources close to the company have said Microsoft would like to make such a product one of its "Longhorn Wave" offerings, which would put it roughly in the 2006 to 2008 timeframe.
Microsoft officials declined to elaborate further on Ayala's comments.
Microsoft's Windows Server packaging strategy has been a confusing one, with many twists and turns.
At one point last year, Microsoft was considering releasing some kind of branch-office server for mid-market customers. A few months later, the company reversed itself, and decided against releasing a product known as Windows Server Branch Office.

Recognizing Urologic or Gynecologic Problems
Recognizing Urologic or Gynecologic Problems
Signs and symptoms that may need medical attention
There are many different gynecological problems that could happen during adolescence. Mothers should be sure to talk with their daughters about all of the normal changes that will be happening in the body during this time of physical maturation and development. In this way, any abnormal changes can be examined right away. Be sure to discuss the following:
Vaginal bleeding and discharge are a normal part of your menstrual cycle. However, if you notice anything different or unusual, talk with your healthcare provider before attempting to treat the problem yourself.
Irregular periods are common in the first few years following menarche. This is not alarming. However, if you have a sudden change in the regularity of your cycle speak to your healthcare provider to discuss the need for further evaluation.
Some symptoms, such as unusual discharge or itching, may result from mild infections that are easy to treat. But, if these infections are not treated properly, they may lead to more serious conditions. These include infertility. Vaginal symptoms may also be a sign of more serious problems, such as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Talk with your healthcare provider if you have any of the following symptoms:
Bleeding between periods
Frequent and urgent need to urinate, or a burning sensation during urination
Abnormal vaginal bleeding, particularly during or after intercourse
Pain or pressure in your pelvis that differs from menstrual cramps
Itching, burning, swelling, redness, or soreness in the vaginal area
Sores or lumps in the genital area
Vaginal discharge with an unpleasant or unusual odor, or of an unusual color
Increased vaginal discharge
Pain or discomfort during intercourse
Recognizing symptoms early and seeing a healthcare provider right away increase the likelihood of successful treatment.

NASCAR & Auto Racing
Scott Dixon sweeps IndyCar's Toronto doubleheader
Scott Dixon went into Pocono Raceway a week ago ranked seventh in the IndyCar standings and approaching the one-year mark on his last victory.
My, what a difference a week makes.
Dixon snapped his slump with a win at Pocono, then pulled off a weekend sweep Sunday of the doubleheader event at Toronto.
Three wins in seven days made Dixon the winningest active driver in IndyCar, but more importantly thrust him into the heart of the championship race. With six races remaining, he's vaulted over the last week five spots in the standings to second and trails championship leader Helio Castroneves by 29 points.
"We're here for the points. It's been a hell of a swing over a seven-day period," Dixon said. "It's nice to put a little pressure on Helio, and hopefully we can keep that going."
Next up for IndyCar? An Aug. 4 race at Mid-Ohio, where Dixon is the defending race winner. Dixon isn't thinking about a second series championship just yet -- he instead wants to focus on finding the same consistency Castroneves has used to take control of the points race.
"Helio has had a pretty stress-free year as far as not being involved in accidents or having mechanicals," Dixon said. "I think it's still going to be a tough battle. I like the look of the tracks we have coming up. I think we are in the hunt."
Castroneves, who finished second to Dixon on Sunday, isn't giving up and doesn't view Dixon as any bigger of a threat than he did defending series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay, who was second in the standings until this weekend.
"Both are champions ... they've been there," Castroneves said. "We just got to keep focused on our work. I'm not worried less or more because it's Scott. The same thing was with Ryan. They're both great teams. But I trust my guys. I know we have the best equipment, the best guys out there. We know what we are capable of, that's what we're focused on at this point."
But the three-time Indianapolis 500 winner admitted Sunday he desperately wants his first series championship.
"I want it as bad as anybody -- especially having those guys behind me," he said. "I have that chance. I'm going to fight as much as I can. If I have a good car to finish, I will finish strong. If I don't have a good car to finish, I'll play smart. I want it more than anybody."
Dixon was barely challenged at Exhibition Place, needing to pull off two late restarts to preserve what was otherwise an easy Sunday drive.
The win was the 32nd of his career, and moved Dixon into sole possession of seventh on the all-time wins list. His victory Saturday moved him into a tie with teammate Dario Franchitti, Sebastien Bourdais and Paul Tracy, but the 32-year-old New Zealander is on the hunt for much more.
His sweep of the Toronto doubleheader also earned Dixon a $100,000 bonus from IndyCar sponsor Sonax.
"$100 grand is good, but I'd rather have the points. Points are why we're here," said Dixon, who moved ahead of Franchitti by one victory to become the winningest active driver in IndyCar.
Castroneves never had anything for Dixon.
"They were in a different league, Scott and Ganassi guys, I was pushing," Castroneves said. "Whatever he is taking for breakfast, I want it. Scott, tell me what you're having for breakfast. Let's be realistic -- the guy was leading the whole race, 13 seconds ahead."
Bourdais was third for his second podium finish of the weekend after not finishing in the top-three in American open-wheel since 2007. On Saturday, his second-place trophy slipped off its pedestal and shattered as he was presented with it on the podium. Sunday was a successful handoff as Bourdais picked up the trophy without a pedestal.
Bourdais managed his finish without having a single push-to-pass to rely on inside his car, and passed Power on the final restart with three laps remaining to grab his podium finish.
"It was really hard, and it was from seventh place," Bourdais said. "Things just turned our way. I was hooked up."
Toronto native James Hinchcliffe had a rough weekend -- an issue with his throttle prevented him from starting the race with the rest of the field. He finished 21st, four laps behind the leaders.
Carlos Munoz, who got a call from Panther Racing late Saturday night to replace Ryan Briscoe because Briscoe broke his right wrist, finished 17th. It was the second IndyCar race of the 21-year-old Colombian's career, first on a road course.
Franchitti, who had third place stripped of him Saturday and then restored after a penalty, was fourth as Target Chip Ganassi Racing has seemed to turn itself around over the last week. Winless until Pocono, Dixon and Franchitti are formidable threats again.
E.J. Viso was fifth and the highest finishing Andretti Autosport driver after defending series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay was involved in an accident on the final restart with Will Power that took both Hunter-Reay and Power out of contention for third place.
"I talked to (Power) and he just said he got loose on the bottom and he just drove right up into us," Hunter-Reay said. "I don't think he drove into me on purpose, but we were taken out of the race. We had a good day going and had a decent car."
Charlie Kimball was sixth as Ganassi's three drivers claimed three of the top six spots.
Mike Conway, in a return for Dale Coyne Racing after winning at Detroit in June, was seventh and followed by teammate Justin Wilson. Marco Andretti and Canadian driver Alex Tagliani rounded out the top 10.

Daily Nexus Staff Writer
Gaucho basketball's Nicole Nesbit, standing at barely 5'5" may not be the tallest girl on the court, but she is one of the toughest and most athletic guards this school has ever seen.
Nesbit, the backup point guard for UCSB, has already become a game-changer in her first year and has provided the Gauchos with consistently solid play.
"Nicole brings an entirely different element to our team," Head Coach Lindsay Gottlieb said of the freshman. "She has an explosiveness and an ability to get to the paint that not only helps her generate points, but also get looks for other people."
Gottlieb noted that opposing teams struggle to come up with a game plan for Nesbit's tough on-ball defense and athleticism.
"[Nicole] brings a ton of energy," Gottlieb added. "At this level, to have someone that comes off the bench that can change the game is such a big advantage for us."
Growing up, Nesbit was a dancer rather than a point guard, but once she was introduced to basketball as a nine-year-old, there was no looking back.
"The first time I went to a tryout, it felt like it fit," Nesbit said. "I had so much fun. My parents told me that it took me a couple of days to take off my basketball shoes. I fell in love with the game."
Nicole is always one of the smaller players on her teams, but that has not stopped her from finding success.
"I don't think that size limits anything," Nesbit said. "You just have to work a little bit harder or be a little tougher than the players you go up against."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the player who had the biggest influence on Nesbit growing up was former NBA all-star Allen Iverson. His small size and ability to attack the basket over larger defenders provided the guard with a source of inspiration.
With energy off the bench, Nesbit's role on the team this year has constantly grown, progressing into an especially important one for the Gauchos.
"It's been so fun to watch her grow this year," junior guard Emilie Johnson said. "From the first game until now, she has learned so much and improved her game. I'm excited to see how that pays off in a year and how good we can be next year."
Johnson has been a mentor to Nesbit, helping her to become more mature with her game. The influence goes the other way, too.
"Her play has definitely opened up my game," Johnson said. "She draws so many defenders because she is so quick and that gives me an extra second to focus and make my shot."
Throughout the season, Nesbit has proved that she is ready to go out and conquer any challenges thrown her way. Despite the struggles that come with adjusting to college, Nesbit has managed to excel, thanks largely to her family.
"I think they have been to every one of my games," Nesbit said. "It's a huge transition from high school, school-wise and basketball-wise. Having my parents here has been a huge help and I really appreciate them for that."
Fellow UCSB players have helped Nesbit adjust to college as well, as Nesbit has grown incredibly close to her teammates.
"Our team is like one big happy family," Nesbit said. "Being with the team is my most exciting time of the day. When we leave practice, we miss each other."
In particular, Nesbit has grown close to fellow freshman guard Melissa Zornig.
"We are really tight off the court and I think I am closest with her," Zornig said. "I'm really excited to be able to play with her over the next three years."
Along with the rest of the team, Nesbit has one goal in mind for the 2011 season.
"As far as basketball, winning the state championship in high school was my biggest accomplishment," Nesbit said. "That was one of the proudest moments of my life, and that's why I want a Big West championship, because I would be on that stage on a different level and with different people."
