FITCHBURG, Mass.—Behind a season-high 26 points and 16 rebounds from sophomore Olivia Murphy (Canton, Mass.), UMass Boston (3-1) earned their second-straight win over Fitchburg State University (2-2) 59-47 Tuesday night.
Murphy poured in the second-most points in her career on 10-of-26 shooting and pulled down six of the team's season-high 21 offensive rebounds. The reigning Little East Conference Rookie of the Year registered her third double-double in four games to help the Beacons earn their first two-game winning streak of the season.
Junior point guard Lauren Perra (Taunton, Mass.) finished second on the team with eight points, while senior point guard Andrea Suffredini (Milford, Mass.) added seven points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals.
Freshman Mallory Nelson (Topsham, Maine) added five points and five rebounds in her first collegiate start.
Megan Wodzinski and Britney Payne each recorded 12 points to lead the host Falcons.
The Beacons led for all but 30 seconds in the contest and pushed their lead to as many as 20 points, in defeating the Falcons for the second-straight season at the Fitchburg State Recreation Center.
After falling behind 3-2 less than two minutes in, Nelson put the Beacons ahead for good with a layup at 17:28 and UMass Boston never looked back.
Wodzinski tied the game at 10-10 with a three-pointer three minutes later, but the Beacons went on a 21-5 run from there, getting baskets from five different players, including junior Kirsten Morrison's (North Reading, Mass.) first basket of the year. Morrison was making her season-debut for the Beacons, after missing the first three games of the season due to the #22 UMass Boston volleyball team's NCAA Tournament run, and finished with two points and eight rebounds in 14 minutes off the bench.
The Beacons would keep a comfortable double-digit lead throughout the majority of the second half, until a late Falcons run cut the deficit to as few as eight with less than two minutes to play.
Perra and Suffredini put the game away though, as the two guard each knocked down a pair of free throws to lift the Beacons to a 59-47 win.
Despite struggling shooting the ball all night, UMass Boston dominated the Falcons on the boards (55-43) and owned an impressive 19-3 advantage in second-chance points.
UMass Boston will host Mount Ida College Tuesday night at 5:30 p.m. in the Beacons' home-opener at the Clark Athletic Center Gymnasium.

Matrix High School Program
Overview and Approach
This spring, the Matrix will be offering three teams for high school players:
We assembled an impressive group of coaches, all of which played basketball at the college level or above. Read on for more information.
Click here for an update from February 25, 2010.
Matrix Aces Showcase Teams – Katie Smrcka-Duffy Fudd and Omar Bell
Katie Smrcka-Duffy Fudd will again lead our Matrix Aces showcase team, as the head coach for the Matrix Aces-Orange team. She will be assisted by Omar Bell, Tia Jackson, and Varda Tamulyanis. (Click on a coach's name to read her/his bio.)
Our Matrix Aces-White team's head coach will be Omar Bell. Coach Fudd, Coach Jackson, and Coach Tamulyanis will also assist with this team.
As a unique aspect of our Matrix Aces program, the two teams will train together each week, as all members of the Matrix Aces coaching staff are highly qualified and experienced skills trainers.
The players will not only compete in college exposure tournaments during the spring and summer season, but players will also participate in weekly college-level workouts that incorporate advanced skills training, strength training, and conditioning.
We think the Matrix Aces program not only provides ample opportunity for players who aspire to play in college to play in top exposure tournaments in front of college coaches, but also to experience college-level training so that they continue to improve as players, and are ready to contribute from day one in college.
Overview of Matrix Aces Program
Training 2 times per week with team (each session is 2-3 hours). In addition to the training, each player will be given a workout to be completed on her own 3 times per week. This workout will include strength, conditioning, speed, agility and basketball skills. We will also include nutrition and flexibility as part of our program.
We have 4 months to prepare our skills, knowledge and body for showcase tournaments. This program is top priority after school and family. We are here to help you achieve your goals but you have to put in the work.
We will put together a player program to be handed out to college coaches at events. We will also assist in contacting (calling/emailing) coaches on the player's behalf.
Player testimonials. And don't miss the "player testimonials" from a number of players about their experience playing for, and training with, Coach Fudd and her staff. Click here to read the player testimonials.
Matrix Select Team – Nora Darcher
Nora Darcher will be the head coach for our Matrix Select team, which is a team designed for players in Grades 8-10 who do not participate on a Matrix Aces team, but would be good candidates for the Matrix Aces in the future. Coach Darcher is the assistant varsity girls' basketball coach at Langley High School, and played in college at Carnegie Mellon University. She will be assisted by Leah Feola, who was her college teammate at CMU. (Click on a coach's name to read her bio.)
The Matrix Select team will play a competitive 14U-15U schedule, as the team will have a mix of 9th and 10th grade players. Advanced 8th graders who are capable of being strong contributors one-two years up are invited to try out for the team as well.
How to Tryout for a Matrix High School Team
We plan on holding similar workouts during February, the first of which is on February 14. Click here for details.
Rather than exclusively holding one or two traditional tryouts, we will be holding these workouts so that players can meet the coaches and workout with other candidates for and members of our Matrix Aces and Select teams. After each workout, Coach Fudd and Coach Bell will extend invitations to players to join their Matrix Aces showcase teams for the spring.
Coach Darcher will also identify candidates for her Matrix Select team at these workouts.
In late February or early March, we plan to have a more traditional tryout to fill out any remaining spots on our three teams.

Saddle collapse behind rapid sea level rise
Researchers from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom have uncovered the mystery behind the rapid sea level rise in the past by using climate and ice sheet models. Funded in part by a Marie Curie Action grant under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), the results showed that the process, called 'saddle collapse', generated two rapid sea level rise events: the Meltwater pulse 1a (MWP1a), some 14,600 years ago, and the '8,200 year' events. The results were published in the journal Nature.
While researchers have tried to discover what triggered these events, no concrete information was ever found, until now. Dr Lauren Gregoire from the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol and colleagues observed how the events triggered the collapse and separation of ice domes over North America, thus resulting in rapid melting and the opening of an ice-free corridor.
Ice domes that were up to three kilometres thick were formed in areas of high snowfall and higher topography like the Rocky Mountains. The ice sheet consisted of the saddles, which were lower valleys of ice between the domes.
Researchers say the climate warmed naturally towards the end of the last ice age. In this study, the scientists found that the ice melted at increasingly high elevations, and later reached and melted the saddle area between the ice domes. They observed that the melting saddle shrank, reaching warmer altitudes and melting more quickly. The end result was a completely melted saddle. Within 500 years, the saddles were gone and only the ice domes remained.
The researchers said the melted ice flowed into the oceans, generating rapid sea level rises of 9 metres in 500 years during the Meltwater pulse 1a event 14,600 years ago and 2.5 metres in the second event, 8,200 years ago.
'We didn't expect our model to produce such a rapid sea level rise,' said lead author Dr Gregoire. 'We got really excited when we realised that the events we simulated corresponded to real events! The meltwater pulse produced by the saddle-collapse can explain more than half of the sea level jump observed around 14,600 years ago. The rest probably came from the progressive melting of ice sheets in Europe and Antarctica.'
According to the researchers, the results identify the process that triggered the melting of the North American ice sheet and resulted in the rapid sea level rises in the past. However, they also provide insight into the nature of ice sheets and climate change.
They add that this study can lead to more testing of climate and ice sheet models. These types of models could reflect patterns observed in natural records, and in turn increase people's confidence in them.

Kevin Durant scored 11 of his 46 points in the final 3:23 to help the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Portland Trail Blazers 105-97 on Tuesday night.
Durant has scored at least 30 points for eight consecutive games, the longest such streak of his career. He made 17 of 25 field goals, including 6 of 7 3-pointers.
Reggie Jackson added 15 points for Oklahoma City (32-10), which took a one-game lead over Portland in the Northwest Division. Portland had won the previous two meetings this season.

SAN ANTONIO - A San Antonio school district's website was hacked over the weekend to protest its policy requiring students to wear microchip-embedded cards tracking their every move on campus.
A teenager purportedly working with the hacker group Anonymous said in an online statement that he took the site down because the Northside school district "is stripping away the privacy of students in your school."
The teen, who identified himself in an email as being 16 years old, said he hacked into the website Saturday, and it was not working Sunday. District spokesman Pascual Gonzalez said he has not yet been able to confirm that it was hacked.
Starting this fall, all students at John Jay High School and Anson Jones Middle School are required to carry identification cards embedded with a microchip. They are tracked by the dozens of electronic readers installed in the schools' ceiling panels.
Northside has been testing a "radio frequency identification" tracking system for the two schools to increase attendance in order to secure more state funding, officials have said. The program, which kicked off at the beginning of this school year, eventually could be used at all of Northside's 112 campuses, officials have said. The district is the fourth largest in Texas with more than 97,000 students.
The hacked website isn't the first controversy over the program.
One John Jay student refused to wear the device, citing religious reasons, and then filed a lawsuit after Principal Robert Harris threatened to remove her from the school and stopped her from petitioning against the ID badge. Last week a judge said the principal's actions violated the student's speech and religious rights, and granted a restraining order barring Harris from removing her from the school, San Antonio television station KENS reported.
Anonymous is a collection of Internet enthusiasts, pranksters and activists whose targets have included financial institutions such as Visa and MasterCard, the Church of Scientology and law enforcement agencies.

Hvar, Croatia
This island off the Dalmatian Coast features a mild climate, beautiful beaches, warm winters, idyllic vacation rentals, views and celebrities, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Stephen Spielberg, King Abdullah of Jordan, Princess Caroline of Monaco, Bill Gates, Prince Harry and other members of the rich and fabulous. Popular with Europeans, it's been off the map as far as Americans are concerned. There are few places that match Hvar for its natural beauty, rich history and lovely architecture. In addition to a vibrant nightlife and plenty of fun tourist activities, you'll find vast fields of lavender, ancient stands of olive trees and vineyards, and a respect for nature among the people and businesses. Treat yourself to locally produced wine and olives at an intimate inn. Hvar is widely considered to be one of the 10 most beautiful islands in the world, and its status among celebrities for decades bears witness to its charm.
Kefalonia, Greece
This old-fashioned, unspoiled Greek island is rich with romantic views. What it lacks in major tourism attractions is made up for in isolated, private beaches, romantic boating, charming local taverns and eateries, and the feeling that you're a world away from the stress of everyday living. You can explore numerous villages tucked away on this verdant island. Many of the buildings are modern, built since a 1953 earthquake. It's the largest of the Ionian Islands, and is widely thought of as one of the most beautiful and authentic. Enjoy impressive landscapes, long, sandy beaches, beautiful churches, traditional villages, Venetian castles, and a National Park.

Economists weigh in on "From Brown to Busing"
From Brown to Busing is a new paper posted by Elizabeth Cascio, University of California, Davis - Department of Economics; Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA); National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), Nora Gordon, (affiliation unknown) and Ethan G. Lewis, Dartmouth College - Department of Economics. You have to pay to download the paper itself, but check with your library -- perhaps they have a subscription. Here's the abstract: An extensive literature debates the causes and consequences of the desegregation of American schools in the twentieth century. Despite the social importance of desegregation and the magnitude of the literature, we have lacked a comprehensive accounting of the basic facts of school desegregation. This paper uses newly assembled data to document when and how Southern school districts desegregated as well as the extent of court involvement in the desegregation process over the two full decades after Brown. We also examine heterogeneity in the path to desegregation by district characteristics. The results suggest that the existing quantitative literature, which generally either begins in 1968 and focuses on the role of federal courts in larger urban districts or relies on highly aggregated data, often tells an incomplete story of desegregation.

OCC Bulletin 2008-17| June 23, 2008
Community Reinvestment Act: List of Distressed or Underserved Nonmetropolitan Middle-Income Geographies
Chief Executive Officers and Compliance Officers of All National Banks, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, along with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision, recently announced the availability of the 2008 list of distressed or underserved nonmetropolitan middle-income geographies in which bank revitalization or stabilization activities will receive Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) consideration as "community development." The 2008 list incorporates a one-year lag period for geographies that were designated as distressed or underserved in 2007, but were not designated as such in the 2008 release. Geographies subject to the one-year lag period are eligible to receive consideration for community development activities for 12 months following publication of the 2008 list.
Both the 2008 and the 2007 lists are on the website of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), along with the data source information used to generate the list of distressed or underserved geographies.
"Distressed nonmetropolitan middle-income geographies" and "underserved nonmetropolitan middle-income geographies" are designated by the agencies in accordance with their CRA regulations. The criteria used to designate these areas also are available on the FFIEC Website.
For more information, please contact your supervisory office or the Compliance Policy Department at (202) 874-4428.

Oracle's first-quarter earnings report showed that corporations will spend on technology if it can help them cut costs and improve performance, Mark Hurd, president of the software giant, told CNBC's "Closing Bell."
"People will spend money if there's a good return on investment," the Oracle executive said Monday. "I think that's an indication of what we saw in our results."
Customers are on an austerity plan and an innovation agenda at the same time to free up money to invest, Hurd said.
During the quarter, Oracle expanded its software business 11 percent, with double-digit increases in Asia and the U.S. and strong growth in its pipeline, Hurd said. (Read More:Oracle Meets Earnings Forecast, but Revenue Is Light.)
But these strong results may not be indicative of any rebound in the underlying economy. "We feel great about our product line. We've expanded our distribution over the course of the past 18 months," Hurd said. "So this may not be a read-through on the entire economy." He also noted that Oracle is gaining share.
The company is positioning itself to take advantage of the massive proliferation in data and the increase in cloud computing by helping clients better manage tight IT budgets.
Hurd said that with data growing 40 percent to 45 percent at clients and the storage costs associated with it, IT budgets can grow 2 percent to 3 percent just chasing after the increase in data. By compressing data and consolidating infrastructure, Oracle can help customers dramatically lower their cost structures, Hurd said.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for our customers and for us," Hurd said.
As a result, Oracle sees "tremendous" growth coming from both its cloud computingand IT infrastructure solutions. While Hurd wouldn't give a specific growth target for the company, he said "whatever the market performs, we're going to perform better than the market."
Hurd took over at Oracle in September 2010, a month after leaving Hewlett-Packard stemming fom a sexual harassment claim by a consultant. An internal investigation found no sexual harassment but said Hurd had violated the company's standards of business conduct.

|Living the Values
Bringing technology to American Indians
Leslie Smith at the Man of the Year award banquet
In his spare time, Leslie M. Smith brings technology to some of the most remote locations in the United States . . . American Indian reservations. Even in 2007, many American Indians who live on reservations have never laid a hand on a mouse or punched a single button on a keyboard.
"On the way to most of these reservations, there is nothing," Leslie said. "No gas stations, shopping malls or convenience stores. Some reservations even lack basics like electricity, so it's no wonder technology doesn't enter the picture. These really are some of the most remote places in the United States."
So how did a Business Development Executive from White Plains, New York get involved with American Indians?
Leslie volunteers as the Chairman of the Board for SeniorNet, an organization whose mission is to "provide older adults education for and access to computer technologies to enhance their lives and enable them to share their knowledge and wisdom."
During Leslie's tenure as Chairman of SeniorNet, he met Carroll Coccchia, the president of the Native American Chamber of Commerce. "Carroll told me about the plight of the First Americans and I was moved, but it wasn't until I saw it firsthand that I realized how desperate the situation really was," Leslie said.
The plight of the American Indians
On the reservations, American Indians have their own schools, grow their own food, and trade for goods and services. Many go their whole lives without ever stepping foot off their reservation.
"Indian Reservations are subsidized by the Federal government, which although helpful, also perpetuates the problem: generation after generation of American Indians are dependent on the government," Leslie said. "So there is no motivation to learn something new, to branch out and make life different. Rates of alcoholism, smoking and suicide are high among this population."
After seeing the reservations, meeting some American Indians and learning about their culture, Leslie became determined to make a difference in their lives. He knew that introducing technology on the reservations was the right thing to do. He was so determined to help, in fact, that he became the new Chairman of the Native American Chamber of Commerce.
A plan comes together
Leslie realized he was sitting on a goldmine. If he combined his SeniorNet resources along with those of the Native American Chamber, he could really make some changes. "I had access to more than 240 brick and mortar learning centers through SeniorNet," Leslie said. "The skills of the trainers we have are second to none. I knew they could help train the American Indians on how to use technology . . . we just had to get the technology."
Leslie convinced IBM to invest U.S. $250,000 to provide state of the art technology centers on five American Indian Reservations. The first center was installed on the Blackfeet reservation in Montana in September 2006. The next center will open on the Chippewa Reservation at Leech Lake, Minnesota, in the first half of this year.
But Leslie didn't stop with IBM. To further his cause, he went to the Bureau of Indian Affairs at the Department of the Interior. Together with IBM and SeniorNet, the Bureau will help sponsor the cost of travel for SeniorNet's trainers to go to the reservations and teach the First Americans how to use their new technology.
Let the learning begin
"After we opened the tech center in Blackfoot, the enthusiasm was overwhelming," Leslie said. "There was a line out the door 24 hours a day. The Blackfoot people were so excited to get their hands on a computer for the first time, to surf the web, to learn about email. They would sit at the computers for hours and not want to leave."
One of the most touching moments of Leslie's time at the Blackfoot technology center opening came when he was helping a 70 year old woman. "She asked me what Rome looked like," Leslie said. "I showed her pictures of the Vatican and the Pope. She had no idea you could see pictures like that on a computer. It was a moving experience for both of us."
"IBM stepped up to the plate to help a people who really have no voice," Leslie said. "I am proud that we are a company founded on values and a company who remains committed to values. This is what makes me proud to be an IBMer. We are changing lives and changing futures with technology, and that should make every IBMer feel great."
For his efforts, Leslie was named "Man of the Year" by the Native American Chamber of Commerce.

Funky Whimsical Home Decor . The home and the garden are, for many people, an extension of their persona. It is an expression of who they are and what they like. In the past, the opportunities for self-expression were limited as design and furnishing options were in short supply. These days, however, there is an explosion in the number of options for anyone who wants to populate their interiors and exteriors with funky, whimsical, striking or modern art decor.
Home furnishing:
As any professional interior decorator will tell you, each room within the house has a certain function and a certain character. It is necessary to recognize this innate character before one can go about furnishing the room appropriately. Indoor decor leans heavily on the right use of color, lighting and furnishing. For instance, the role of curtains, decorative rugs, objects of art and other decorative materials must be complimentary. Every object within the room must contribute seamlessly to the total effect.
Many homes these days, boast of stunning pieces of art that single handedly transform the look of the room. Funky, whimsical designs featuring themes and colorful artwork could well become the center of attraction of the room. When such pieces of art are combined cleverly with furnishing and color, the effect is breathtaking. A fitting example of such art is the Round Top Collection by Jeff Krause.
Thus, interior decor can be transformed from the staid and the predictable to glamorous and glitzy through the clever use of objects of art. Care should be taken, however, to choose quality over quantity. Hand crafted objects are more popular than machine made objects as the former contains unique objects that enjoy limited availability.
Garden furnishing:
The garden is typically the extension of the home. It is where we seek to establish an instant connect with nature. For many, it is the place dedicated to the pleasure of cultivation and abundant growth. Even homes in urban areas where garden space is limited make the effort to transform the garden into a haven of sorts.
The use of unusual, whimsical and colorful furniture and objects of art can transform the garden into something that is out of a fairytale book. For example, whimsically designed benches and tables are available in the most stunning colors. These pieces of furniture greatly add to the appeal of the garden. In addition to this, pieces of art may be strategically scattered around the garden to make it colorful and beautiful. By adding these pieces of art to your garden space, it is possible to achieve the perfect balance between beauty and utility that characterizes great outdoor spaces.
As you can see, a little imagination combined with oodles of observation can transform your home and garden space.
Looking for the right objects of art for your home or garden? Check out the home and garden store in Houston, Texas [http://inthewindhouston.com/]. It has everything you need and more.

"If psychology as a whole were a tree and different divisions of psychology were its branches, I teach my students to see the tree rather than concentrating on a particular branch."
Academic psychology can be very specialized. But instead of requiring students to concentrate on one area—social, clinical, biological, or cultural—Transylvania offers a variety of perspectives that leads to an understanding of psychology as a whole instead of individual parts.
"It gives students the bigger picture," says Iva Katzarska-Miller.
Within that philosophy, Transylvania's small classes and close relationships between students and professors add to the rich learning environment. "I enjoy the interaction with students and the mutual learning that can occur in the classroom," says Katzarska-Miller.
She presents subject matter both as content and as process. "Content is the knowledge that students need if they are to be able to think critically about it," Katzarska-Miller explains. "Process is an understanding of how knowledge is created and disseminated in society, as well as how one's position in the cultural space promotes a particular approach to understanding and creating knowledge."

New virtual mentoring helps second-year teachers get support
Second-year teachers who need additional support can now talk with their mentors and other teachers virtually. New this year, the district is offering collaboration between teachers and mentors using Zoom video conferencing software.
"It's a 21st century approach to our 21st century educators," said Tammy Martin, Curriculum and Instructional Support Executive Coordinator.
New Kansas state teaching certification requirements include teachers having two years of mentoring in order to obtain their professional license. The virtual mentoring allows second-year teachers to talk with their mentors and other teachers to get support and ideas without having to leave their classroom.
"Virtual mentoring is nice for busy teachers. They like that we are available to them in this way," said Tonya Howard, social studies teacher at Southeast who is also a mentor.
"Giving our teachers the support they need is crucial to retaining high-quality teachers," Howard added.
Martin said that since the mentor is meeting with multiple teachers at the same time, they are also building a community with other educators that they can turn to when they need support or to share ideas.
Martin also set up a Google Classroom account with resources for teachers to access any time they need it.
WPS currently has 12 experienced teachers who are also virtual mentors who meet with second-year teachers every other week.

Solar-charged computer peripherals are kind of a tenuous proposition, because, like, there's a reason we're all pasty white messes. But three months of battery life per charge on Logitech's new solar-powered wireless keyboard sounds pretty good.
Logitech released the PC version of their wireless solar-powered keyboard last year, and now there's a Mac layout, too. The keyboard supposedly gets three months of battery life from a single full charge, even in complete darkness, and it gathers light and power from either the sun or indoor lighting. It's on sale now for $US60. [Logitech]

Vampire Seduction
Last night the Twilight Eclipse crew was back to work shooting under a bridge a "Seattle" scene with Bryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel as "Victoria and Riley". Victoria seduces Riley so that he'll carry out her orders to make new vampires. As you can see, they've wigged out Bryce's hair to resemble Rachelle Lefevre's.
Xavier was also confirmed yesterday to be attending TIFF. Great experience for an actor, totally. But hopefully it won't mean that Twif-ckery will invade our festival.
Why can't these freaks keep their sh-t contained?
Yesterday Michael K at Dlisted posted this article about the sparking Edward Cullen dildo. DILDO.
This is what Twi-Hards will be riding all weekend while they YouTube Robert Pattinson interviews.
At the very least, a vibrator provides pleasure and buzzes the right places.
But what about this???
I received a link this morning from LB: the "Edward Cullen Life Size Twilight Silhouette Vinyl Wall Decal".
…the f-ck?
And it's SOLD OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's close out the week with some hatemail, shall we?
From Dana in Texas. I think this is my new favourite:
So Lainey, you're refusing to believe in Robsten. Do you believe in the blue sky and the vast sea? Do you shun the green earth, the innocent of the child? Love is in all of us. It's everywhere in our hearts. Robsten is just as real as the moon and the stars.
I feel sorry for you that you are blind to life's beauties. I am praying for you.

We've realised that XsltListViewWebPart can render content in two different modes.
1) if we add XsltListViewWebPart by SharePoint Designers on aspx page - we have plain html render on the page 2) if we use XsltListViewWebPart by c# code on custom aspx page (set ListIs and ViewId) - we have some js script on page which asynch load and build UI
Because of this difference we have problems with our custom aspx page with XsltListViewWebPart in modal dialog mode (we show them with SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog). SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog can't calculate and get right height for page with XsltListViewWebPart in case (2) - cause it builds with js but everything is OK in case (1).
So, we've look at XsltListViewWebPart control in our aspx page in debug and realised that it have just two controls inside - SPDataSource and asp.net literal control with js code.
Is there any solution for render XsltListViewWebPart as plain html code not as some js+asyncg load?

New ESA centre in United Kingdom
A step towards the creation of a new European Space Agency research centre in the United Kingdom was taken this week with an agreement made at the ESA Ministerial Council in The Hague.
ESA Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain and the UK Science and Innovation Minister, Lord Drayson, signed an agreement in principle to pursue the establishment of an ESA research centre, to be based at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire.
Several areas of possible activity have already been identified, including climate change modelling using space data, integrated applications and the development of new technologies for the next era of planetary exploration, including robotics and innovative power sources.
UK science and industry have played a strong part in the success of ESA missions and this move will allow for a stronger role in future ESA activities.
In fact, UK industry will be involved in the development of ExoMars, the ESA project to develop a robotic probe that will search for life on the 'Red Planet'.

Singer Sean Kingston has been released from a Miami hospital over three weeks after his frightening jet ski accident in Miami Beach, officials said Wednesday.
Officials from Jackson Memorial Hospital confirmed the 21-year-old was released Tuesday.
The "Beautiful Girls" singer had been at Jackson since the May 29 accident. Officials say Kingston and 23-year-old Cassandra Sanchez were injured when their Sea Doo struck the bridge connecting Palm Island with the MacArthur Causeway.
Both Kingston and Sanchez were pulled from the water by a helpful boater.
Kingston had been rushed to the hospital in critical condition but has improved steadily over the past few weeks, hospital officials said.
Kingston took to Twitter Sunday night to give an update on his progress and thank his fans for sticking by him.
"Feeling alot better! GOD IS GREAT! Thanks for all the prayers and support! Love you ALL!" he wrote.
It's unknown where Kingston was heading to after his release.

Lacquer is a type of varnish. Collectors are most interested in the Chinese and Japanese lacquer wares made from the Japanese varnish tree. Lacquer wares are made from wood with many coats of lacquer. Sometimes the piece is carved or decorated with ivory or metal inlay. Lacquer does not dissolve in alcohol, and is not the same varnish as shellac.

Looking for an RV topic? Search the entire forum HERE
Does that mean that even though we have a Second Amendment right, does not make it right?
You may have a different opinion of what's right and wrong from other Americans. I'm sure there are some Americans don't think women should have the right to vote. And You have the right to disagree with anything you want in the Bill of Rights, Look at what happened to the 18th amendment. you want to change the law...change it.
That is not my point. You said, "Because you have the right...does not make it right." What exactly did you mean by that?
I thought that was a wonderful reminder of the Children of the Silent Generation. Children that lived through but did not have to participate in a war, are almost forgotten about. I was a Vietnam child, many of the memories were fun. Thank you. OldGator73...I've seen children play in the middle of a war zone...you can find moments of Peace anywhere.
I searched but couldn't find US Code Title 36 Chapter 10http://www.usflag.org/us.code36.htmlhttps://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/36/301
"Oldgater" seems to be carrying a racial grudge around his neck,,I for one have NEVER OWNED A SLAVE and you for one HAVE NEVER BEEN ONE.. So let it go and get on with life.>>>Dan
I wonder...Let's say you're like me and you have so much disdain for our legal system..... you took a knee when the bailiff says "All Rise".What would happen..do you have that right not to stand ?
I'm good with that, after watching the O.J. trial....The next time I hear a bailiff say .."All Rise" ..... I'll be like a pro football player.... I'll give him a one finger salute and stay seated.
I do have a problem with the flag of our enemies.
But you can't have a problem with it !.........It's my constitutional right to fly the flags of our enemies. if I lived next door to you I have the right do it every day in your face ! (but as we know...some things just aren't right)is it okay to fly the Vietcong flag....They defeated us ?
That's a good question. I don't think there is federal law against flying a flag from a country that is our enemy. There may be some states that you cannot do so legally. But you are incorrect Tony in saying someone cannot have a problem with something just because it is their constitutional right to do something. You have the same Constitutional rights to have said problem than the person that presented the very thing that created the problem. I hope that clears it up. Great conversation. I am giddy with excitement awaiting the next post.
I picked up on the giddy a while ago.
So if a team owner has a problem with his employees...does he have the right to fire them ?every contract has a ethic's clause in it.. is it the team owner's .. or the typical pro athletes ethics ?if the national anthem is a part of the show...is a player obligated to participate ?
I kinda doubt that.If our congress couldn't even put Bill Clinton in jail for perjury in a Grand Jury trial......They're not going to throw a president in jail for running his mouth off.
I kinda doubt that.If our congress couldn't even put Bill Clinton in jail after being convicted of perjury in a Grand Jury trial......They're not going to throw a president in jail for running his mouth off.
I just put this topic on the Unnotify list. It is beginning to show traces of what we try to avoid - politics and argument where no ones mind is ever changed. Just too many hard feelings are being created.Bill
So, you guys can understand my total disdain of our legal system. Thank you

TRIPLE THREAT: California is the land of bounty, home to America's Salad Bowl, and a place of plenty; it does, in fact, boast a number of catchy handles that pay tribute to the fact that a lot of tasty veg and fruits grow all year long in our state. But some regions seem to be extra lucky in the location-air-soil-sunshine department. For example, there is Santa Barbara, which is both nestled against both the Santa Ynez wine country and the Pacific Ocean. Meaning? Not only do citrus and avocados and all the yummy tree things grow, but wine and seafood play a major roll in the American Riviera local's diet. (And, by the way, "nestled"? No place seems to own that travel-brochure-y word like Santa Barbara, which is truly nestled up against those picturesque hills.) Meaning? Once a year the city takes a month to fete its farmers market freshness and accoladed chefs and all of those fruits and wines and seafood dishes that are just a way of everyday eating 'round those parts. The event's name? epicure.sb.
OCTOBER 1-31: Once again epicure.sb is taking over the entire month of October for rooftop wine tastings and adventures on the city's Urban Wine Trail and the famous Avocado Festival in Carpinteria. The Harbor & Seafood Festival falls at just about the midway point -- Saturday, Oct. 13 -- while Goleta's Lemon Festival spreads over both days of that particular weekend. There's also an Eat Local Challenge which other cities might be inspired by; residents are being asked to put the focus on foods from the region. It's a big, delish month with a lot of parts, like a grand feast. But, of course, if you can't make it? Santa Barbara's open all year long, and we hear they keep plate-based goodness going.
