My Talk at the Freethought Association of West Michigan
On June 27th I spoke for the Freethought Association of West Michigan, which, by the way, is one of the largest local Freethought organizations in America. Charles LaRue wrote up a description of my talk and book seen here [Scroll down to "Today's Meeting Topic"]. Don't assume I said everything he writes about since he offers his own particular slant on my talk in several places. Sometime soon they'll post the video of the talk I gave.

Modeling Project Releng/Releasing
- 1 Release Process
- 2 Promoting A Build
- 2.1 Update Manager Sites & Build Types
- 2.2 Generating Release Notes
- 2.3 Automatically Fixing Assigned Bugs
- 2.4 Newsgroup Announcement Setup
- 2.5 SSH Key Setup
- 3 Promotion FAQ
Release Process
All components are requested to follow this release schedule:
- Tuesday/Wednesday night:
- Your code in CVS must be "compile error free". Feel free to run N builds that afternoon to verify this.
- Wednesday/Thursday morning:
- One Integration (I) build from your main branch (HEAD), and/or
- One Maintenance (M) build from your maintenance branch (eg., R1_0_maintenance).
If your component is participating in a Coordinated release such as Ganymede (June 2008), please be aware of the release schedule for Milestones and Release Candidates, and provide Stable (S) builds in alignment with those dates.
Release Reviews / x.y.0 Final Builds
- DO NOT PUBLISH an R build until you've been through a release review.
- DO NOT PUBLISH any build using a vanity name ending in ".0" without a release review.
- DO PUBLISH as many I or S builds as you want -- ideally, you should be publishing one build a week, but only if there are changes.
You can have unlimited weekly Integration (I) builds, then about once every 6 weeks and at the end of your development cycle, you should publish a Stable (S) build. These are usually vanity-named with "0.8.0M2" or "0.8.0RC" to describe the Milestone or Release Candidate status and number.
At the end of your development cycle, you should do an RC build at least one week before your final planned release date. When you pass your Release Review, you can use the
/home/www-data/build/modeling/scripts/renameBuild.sh script to rename your "0.8.0RC" Stable (S) build to a "0.8.0" Release (R) build, and repromote it under the new name. This will ensure the correct metadata is properly updated (RSS feed, release notes).
Once your x.y.0 build is reviewed, passed, and released, you can continue in HEAD working on x.y.1 (or branch immediately). Publish as many (M)aintenance builds as you want, then again, as you get close to the end, a Stable 0.8.1RC can be done. Maintenance branch releases need not be reviewed prior to release.
At some point you'll want to branch HEAD (eg., 0.9.0) and R0_8_maintenance (eg., 0.8.1 or 0.8.2). When you start doing 0.9.0 builds, they will be I builds, interspersed with S milestone builds and RC build(s) towards the end of the cycle. Finally, your last RC will be reviewed and you'll once again rename and repromote.
It is HIGHLY ADVISABLE to not branch midway through a release, in order to preserve accurate release notes.
Please also be aware that your build server is SHARED -- clean up your old builds (especially any -noclean builds) when they are obsoleted by newer ones in order to save space for others.
Renaming a Build / Releasing Your GM Build
- When releasing your final build, you may decide to rename an RC build if nothing bad has happened since that build was released. For example, you might plan to release your final build on Sept. 28, so you'd do an RC1 build two weeks before. If any stop-ship bugs were found, you'd spin an RC2 build the week after, on the 21st. Then, if no more bugs were found, you'd be able to promote that build as your GM (Golden Master) on Sept. 28 - however, you'd have to rename the zips, md5 files, dependencies listed in build.cfg, etc.
- The good news is that there's an easy way to do this - renameBuild.sh. This script contains detailed instructions and examples of usage; just run it from the commandline w/o options to see. Additionally, here's an example showing a rename of JET from 0.7.1RC2 to 0.7.1:
sudo -u www-data ./renameBuild.sh -proj jet -verbose -branch 0.7.1 \ -buildID S200609210820=R200609210820 -buildAlias 0.7.1RC2=0.7.1 \ eclipse-SDK-M20060919-1045-linux-gtk.tar.gz=eclipse-SDK-3.2.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz \ M20060919-1045=R-3.2.1-200609210945 \ S200609210005=R200609210005 \ 2.2.1RC2=2.2.1 \ fullmoon.torolab.ibm.com=download.eclipse.org \ emf.torolab.ibm.com=download.eclipse.org
- When you're done renaming, you can simply promote the new build as you did the previous week (-buildID S200609210820), using the new ID (-buildID R200609210820), and you'll have your GM build published.
- After releasing the final build of a given version, you need to remember to upgrade the version of the plugins you change. In other words, if a plugin is not changed then its version remains the same. After upgrading the version of a plugin, you need to ensure that the version of the appropriate features and branding plugins are also upgraded, and that the feature is referring to the new versions of the plugins. Also, if you change a plugin with source code, you may need to upgrade the appropriate documentation plugin (and documentation feature and branding plugin) if the build is adding Javadoc to it.
Promoting A Build
Adding new builds or even new subprojects is relatively simple. The hands-on manual approach is to use scp to copy you new build's folder from where it was built, eg., /home/www-data/build/emft/transaction/downloads/drops/1.0.0/I200601111814 to its destination on download1.eclipse.org, eg., /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/technology/emft/transaction/downloads/drops/1.0.0/I200601111814. From there, /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/technology/emft/downloads/index.php will find & display it automatically.
You can modify the way the downloads page appears in two simple ways by editing build.options.txt, which is used to both create builds and display them for downloading:
- you can add/remove branches from display, by adding entries under the [Branch] entry. Display entries are in the form -=1.0.0, whereas build instruction entries are in the form 1.0.1=R1_0_maintenance.
- you can reorder the way build types are displayed by resequencing the values under the [BuildType] entry. The remaining entries are used when building.
The above process ONLY adds the build to the downloads page; it does not fix permissions or group ownership of files, nor update any map files, news files, release notes, or other meta information. As such, the full process for promoting a build is rather lengthy, and thus has been simplified into a script, promoteToEclipse.sh and its accompanying property file, promoteToEclipse.properties.
- UPDATE: You can also use the promo.php script for your project. Contact User:nickb for username/password access.
The simplest way to learn how to use this script is to first run it without options to see the inline help, or to read the help within the script itself. From there, running it is straightforward, but certain SSH permisions must be set in order for things to work as expected.
To make CVS happy when promoting a build, ensure the existence of a .cvspass file in your home directory:
touch ~/.cvspass
As an example, here's how an EMFT Transaction build is promoted:
cd /home/www-data/build/emft/scripts; ./promoteToEclipse.sh -sub transaction -branch 1.0.0 -buildID I200601111814 -Q \ -announce 2>&1 | tee ~/promo_`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`.txt
The -Q argument suppresses noisy CVS checkout messages and -announce posts an announcement of the build availability to the EMFT newsgroup.
Update Manager Sites & Build Types
If you go to http://www.eclipse.org/emft/updates/, you'll see a note about two different UM sites. These two sites are there to split final, release builds from interim builds, so that the two types of users can benefit from the two types of releases.
A release build (R) is anything that's done as a final GM (aka Golden Master) release, eg., 0.7.0, 0.7.1, 1.0.0, 1.0.1. Everything else is considered "interim" - Nightly, Integration, Maintenance, Stable (N, I, M, S).
So, for example, when you publish an I build (eg., 0.7.5 I200610050000), it gets added to site-interim.xml. When you do your final build for that stream, (eg., 0.7.5 R200612020000), it will be added to site.xml.
Note also that the URL to give to Update Manager (or to put in your features) is NOT http://www.eclipse.org/emft/updates/, but download.eclipse.org. www.eclipse.org stores website content only, and provides a location for extracting, updating, and committing changes to the site.xml and site-interim.xml files, in order to provide CVS versioning & history. The actual site is http://download.eclipse.org/technology/emft/updates/site*.xml, which is also benefitted by the fact that it's mirrored (unlike www.eclipse.org).
- For more on build types, see http://www.eclipse.org/emf/downloads/build-types.php.
Generating Update Manager Site Jars
- For details on generating Update Manager site XML and jars, see: Update Manager Site Generation.
Generating Release Notes
Generating release notes is easy - promoteToEclipse.sh does it for you! However, there are a few simple steps to follow to ensure the generated content is accurate & non-duplicative. Here's the general process for closing a bug and using Bugzilla & CVS to provide the information required to generate release notes.
- Working in Eclipse, fix your code. Test is as much as possible before committing it to CVS.
- Commit your change(s) to CVS, using the bug's number in square brackets to begin your commit comment, eg:
[127509] javadocs now available
- Note that you can include multiple bugs (each number on its own line) and comments are not required. The information that will appear in the release notes comes from the bug's Summary field, not your CVS comments.
- Browse to the bug's webpage, and assign it the status Assigned. Your bugzilla comment could be something like:
Committed to CVS
- Tip: to save time, you can create & save a named Bugzilla query for All Assigned, in order to quickly Change Several Bugs At Once.
- Produce a build, and promote it. Unless you use the -norss flag:
- Your RSS feed will be updated,
- The Modeling database will see that new entry,
- A corresponding entry will be added to the Releases table, and
- A refresh of the release notes will now show that new entry.
My new build isn't listed on the website!
Mirror replication takes time. Please try again in 30 mins, or re-read your promote log to verify everything went OK.
My new build isn't listed in the Release Notes!
First, check your RSS feed file to ensure it's been updated. If it hasn't, check your promote log for failures in updating the feed. If it has, please be patient and wait for the next database update. Your RSS feed file controls the list of releases that are imported into the Releases table of the Search CVS database, and thus appear on the Release Notes page.
There are errors in my release notes! How do I edit?
If you want to remove or edit values in your RSS feed and flush old/incorrect values from the database, please edit the file /cvsroot/org.eclipse/www/modeling/projectName/feeds/builds-componentName.xml (eg., projectName = emft; componentName = teneo). When done, send an email to User:nickb requesting a database flush for your component's releases.
Bugs are missing from the Release Notes!
Database updates can take a while. If it's been 24hrs and you *still* are missing data, contact User:nickb.
RSS Update Errors When Promoting
addEntry: [AddEntry] [Fatal Error] builds-teneo.xml:13:2: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup. [AddEntry] org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of elements must consist of well-formed character data or markup.
| Check the file on the build server in /var/www/html/emft/feeds/. Is it corrupt? Is it full of invalid XML due to a CVS update/merge? If so, so the following:
cd /var/www/html/emft/feeds/; \ rm -f builds-projectName.xml; \ cvs up -Pd; \ chmod 664 builds-projectName.xml; \ chgrp www builds-projectName.xml;
Then rerun your promote using the -rssonly flag to redo that single step. After that, you can force an update of the database - including loading any new CVS commits - with the -searchcvsonly flag. If you don't need to refresh commits, just the Releases table, you can run this (on emft.eclipse.org only):
cd /shared/modeling/searchcvs; \ php relupdate.php -noheat
Permission denied
| Check the file on the build server in /var/www/html/emft/feeds/. Is it writable by you or one of the groups of which you're a member? Try this:
cd /var/www/html/emft/feeds/; \ ls -la; groups; \ chmod 664 *; chgrp www *;
Then rerun your promote using the -rssonly flag to redo that single step. After that, you can force an update of the database - including loading any new CVS commits - with the -searchcvsonly flag. If you don't need to refresh commits, just the Releases table, you can run this (on emft.eclipse.org only):
cd /shared/modeling/searchcvs; \ php relupdate.php -noheat
Automatically Fixing Assigned Bugs
As of 2007-08-29, you can use promo.php or the -bugzonly flag to automatically move your ASSIGNED bugs to FIXED, and place a comment stating in which build the bug was fixed.
See also bug 191571 and bug 206558.
Setup / Troubleshooting
The first time you use this option, or if your bugzilla cookie expires, you will receive an error like this:
[promote] ERROR: login cannot be read from ~/.ssh/UpdateBugStateTask.properties.
To regenerate credentials / cookie information, log in to the build server and run:
cd /home/www-data/build/modeling/scripts; ./bugzillaLogin.sh 2> ~/.ssh/UpdateBugStateTask.properties
Newsgroup Announcement Setup
Setup for posting automatically to the newsgroup to announce new builds is easy.
- 1. Copy newsgroup-post.txt into your ~/.ssh folder.
build_id@build_server:~ $ mkdir -p ~/.ssh; cp /home/nickb/newsgroup-post/newsgroup-post.txt ~/.ssh
You are now set up to post automatically to the newsgroup while promoting a build. If you want to post as a specific person, rather than the default name & email, there are two additional steps.
- 2. Edit org.eclipse.emft/releng/[subproject]/promoteToEclipse.[subproject].properties <example>, placing the correct name and email address for the person whose name will appear on newsgroup posts. This step - and the next one - is ONLY required if the name & email are not the same as the default value recorded here.
newsgroupPublisherEmail="John Q. Committer <email@example.com>"
- 3. Copy org.eclipse.emft/releng/[subproject]/promoteToEclipse.[subproject].properties <example> into /home/www-data/build/emft/scripts.
To announce a build that's already been built, you can use the -announceonly flag to skip all other steps and ONLY post to the newsgroup. Otherwise, adding -announce when promoting will add the extra step of posting a quick note to the newsgroup.
Newsgroup Post Threading
Should you want to thread your announcements so that they can be hidden or categorized, here's how you can do so:
- create the parent thread into which subsequent posts will go (just post a message to the newsgroup), then
- get the post's Message-ID (using Thunderbird, just turn on all headers to see this), and
- update the appropriate entry in your /home/www-data/build/emft/scripts/promoteToEclipse.*.properties file on your build server (emf.torolab or emft.eclipse).
Looking at promoteToEclipse.jet.properties as an example:
# publisher of newsgroup announcements newsgroupPublisherEmail="John Q. Committer <firstname.lastname@example.com>" newsgroup=eclipse.technology.emft # to thread posts under an existing post (or posts) enter the slash-escaped Message-ID for which this is a reply, # eg: <e0i2gc\$an5\$firstname.lastname@example.com> newsgroupThreadReferences=""
If you put the Message-ID in the newsgroupThreadReferences property, announcements about builds will be nested under that existing message.
Note that to edit this file you must sudo to the web user:
- On emf.toro: sudo -u www-data vi promoteToEclipse.jet.properties
- On emft.eclipse: sudo -u apache vi promoteToEclipse.cdo.properties
If you'd like to store a copy of your changes in CVS, please contact your releng manager so that your changes can be committed into your releng module for safekeeping/versioning.
SSH Key Setup
Getting Access
You must have ssh access to your build server, download1.eclipse.org, and dev.eclipse.org. If you do not have access, please contact the administrators of these servers to gain access. You need a full login shell (eg., bash), not just a CVS login shell (cvssh). If you cannot ssh into dev.eclipse.org or download1.eclipse.org, please open a bug asking for a full login shell, eg., bug 206146.
To get access to your build server, you must forward your static IP address to the server's administrator. If you do not have a static IP, you can set up your router to broadcast your IP to a domain name registration service like dyndns.org and provide your domain name for access to the build server.
Once you have ssh access, you need to set up limited ssh key access between your build server and the eclipse.org download and cvs servers. This will allow you to run the promote script without being prompted for a password periodically.
Connecting in
To grant yourself ssh access from your build server to eclipse.org, ssh to the build server normally.
Under windows, you can use cygwin or PuTTY. Under Linux, open a shell and type `ssh`.
Generating private and public SSH keys
If you don't already have an ssh key pair created, you will need to generate one.
build_id@build_server:~ $ mkdir -p ~/.ssh; chmod 700 ~/.ssh; cd ~/.ssh; ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa
When prompted for a passphrase, hit enter to skip. Having a passphrase, while more secure than having no passphrase, prevents automated login.
Save your public key in the default place: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
Connecting out: creating host keys
Connect to the following systems, replacing build_id and eclipse_id with your actual system login for that machine (which MUST be the same). Replace build_server and FQDN with the actual values for your build server's hostname and fully-qualified domain name.
- build_id@FQDN, eg., firstname.lastname@example.com
- build_id@localhost, eg., you@localhost
- firstname.lastname@example.com, eg., firstname.lastname@example.com
- email@example.com, eg., firstname.lastname@example.com
Get yourself added to the "www" group (or whatever is the user group that can update the website) on your build machine. This normally must be done by an administrator (root) of that machine.
All of those should work without being prompted for a password. If you are prompted, you need to set an ssh key in your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file for each user & hostname pair to which you want to connect. The first time you try each of these connections, you should be be prompted to add the host's fingerprint to your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. This is also required.
To copy your local public key to the remote machine, you will need to scp (secure copy) the file. From the build server, copy the file to the remote server, then ssh to that server and combine the new key with the any existing keys in the authorized_keys file:
- build_id@build_server:~/.ssh $ scp id_rsa.pub firstname.lastname@example.com:~/.ssh/eclipse_id.temp
- build_id@build_server:~/.ssh $ ssh firstname.lastname@example.com
- (you will still be prompted for a password when connecting)
- firstname.lastname@example.com:~ $ cd ~/.ssh;
- firstname.lastname@example.com:~/.ssh $ touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys;
- email@example.com:~/.ssh $ cp ~/.ssh/authorized_keys ~/.ssh/authorized_keys_old; # backup
- email@example.com:~/.ssh $ cat ~/.ssh/eclipse_id.temp ~/.ssh/authorized_keys_old > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys; # prepend new key into old file; save as new file
- email@example.com:~/.ssh $ rm -fr ~/.ssh/eclipse_id.temp ~/.ssh/authorized_keys_old;
- email@example.com:~/.ssh $ chmod 644 authorized_keys id_rsa.pub known_hosts; chmod 600 id_rsa; # fix perms
- email@example.com:~/.ssh $ exit
- build_id@build_server:~/.ssh $ ssh email@example.com
- (this time you should get in using your key instead of needing a password)
Once you have ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and ~/.ssh/known_hosts updated with your public key and server fingerprint(s) (respectively), you should be able to connect to these systems without being prompted, and the promote script should be good to go unassisted.
Connecting the web user to your account
In order to run builds from the web site on the build server, the web user must be able to ssh to your account on the build server. Put its public key in your authorized_keys file to make this work.
If you require further assistance setting up key access, try here: http://cfm.gs.washington.edu/security/ssh/client-pkauth/.
Promotion FAQ
Many things can go wrong when promoting a build (CVS or SCP errors, artifacts not created, java failures). Most are a result of network or permission problems, and can be fixed by trying again or correcting the permission problem.
RSS Feeds
The log file for my promoted build shows a FileNotFoundException (Permission denied) or NullPointerException when publishing my RSS feed!
Either the permissions on the file do not allow you to edit it...
Buildfile: feedPublish.xml publishFeed: addEntry: [AddEntry] java.io.FileNotFoundException: /var/www/html/modeling/emft/feeds/builds-net4j.xml (Permission denied)
... or your file has been corrupted by a CVS merge/update, and contains "<<<<<<<" and "=======" which makes it an invalid XML file.
To fix this, delete the file on filesystem, refresh from cvs & redo the promote.
Here's how:
$ cd /var/www/html/modeling/mdt/feeds/ $ less builds-uml2.xml (note the <<<<<<<<<<<<< and =============== markers that the cvs server added) $ rm -fr builds-uml2.xml $ cvs up builds-uml2.xml cvs update: warning: `builds-uml2.xml' was lost U builds-uml2.xml $ chmod g+w builds-uml2.xml $ chgrp www builds-uml2.xml
Then rerun the promote to fix the missing feed entry (required for release notes)...
./promoteToEclipse.sh -sub uml2 -Q -buildID somebuildID -rssonly -cvsbranch somebranchvalue ...
If you decide to repromote completely using the web UI, make sure you've removed this build's site*.xml contribution because a full promote will add it again, slowing down the operation of the update site and presenting users with confusing duplicate entries.
Finally, since the RSS is now updated, you can force the database to be refreshed and have the new release appear in your Release Notes.
Update Site
Please check your promote logs for errors or transient glitches, like CVS disconnects or SCP problems. Sometimes one problem can manifest as several problems, as in the case of this EMFT Validation build's UM jar creation, which threw four warnings that something had gone wrong, all starting from a transient CVS checkout problem (bandwidth overload or connection reset).
[promote] [9] [13:53:18] Create & promote Update Manager jars: [promote] Running buildUpdate.sh:
[umj-co] [1] Checking out org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder from dev using HEAD cvs checkout: failed to open /home/vramaswamy/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory cvs [checkout aborted]: recv() from server dev.eclipse.org: Connection reset by peer

[umj] [13:54:52] ERROR! Script exiting from compareFolders.sh [promote] [9] [13:54:52] Create & promote Update Manager jars done.
In this case, the problems were:
- CVS disconnected while checking out required builder code
- Build failed looking for Eclipse Main, so no build occurred
- Copying files from temp to /var/www/technology/emft/updates/ failed as they were not created
- MD5 check failed as nothing was copied to download1.eclipse.org
In this case, the solution was to:
- Verify that nothing had been produced on either the build server or download1.eclipse.org.
- Confirm that site*.xml had not been changed in CVS, and rollback any changes for this build's ID (if any).
- Re-run the promote using the -jarsonly flag in order to bypass all the steps that completed successfully and ONLY do the UM jar creation step.

Adopt a Gluten-free Blogger November 2010 Sign-up
Welcome to the November edition of the Adopt a gluten-free Blogger Event! Last month yours truly hosted an amazing assortment of adoptions that that made me very, very hungry. I don't know what appealed to me more; the chana masala, spaetzle, lemon poppyseed bread or the carrot hummus. Let's just say it was ALL appealing. As always, my favorite part was the love and appreciation the participants showed their adopted gluten-free bloggers and their recipes. At least here in the States, November is a big month for food and trying new recipes with Thanksgiving on the calendar, so I hope to see even more participants this month sharing their experiences with new recipes for the holidays. And remember, you can make your food in time for Thanksgiving, photograph it, and put off your post until early December, long after all the dishes have been put away and life has settled down again. Of course, early birds are always welcome too! Anyway, let me give you the skinny on how to participate, and then leave you to sign up in the comments. You know you want to join us!
*Please read all of the numbered instructions. HINT- #4 is especially important because it tells you how to get included in the roundup! Believe me, I don't want to leave anybody out. Also, I've asked you to consider resizing your large photos. If you don't know how, don't worry about it but it does save time and would help me out immensely. See the bottom of this post for instructions on how to use an online photo editor to resize your photos.
Here's how you participate.
1) Pick a gluten-free blogger whose recipes you admire and adopt them by commenting on this post with your name, blog name and their name and blog name.
*Blogger's recipes must all be gluten-free or have a way to sort and read ONLY gluten-free recipes
*Please pick a different blogger every time you participate
*Please pick a blogger that has not been adopted yet this month!
2) Pick one (or two!) of your gluten-free blogger's recipes to try.
3) Make the recipe, photograph it and write a post in your blog introducing the blogger and their recipe.
*Follow the recipe as written, as closely as possible. And, please don't print their recipe on your post- just provide your reader a link to their original recipe.
*Provide a link to this event announcement page
4) Email me at adoptaglutenfreeblogger[at]gmail[dot]com with your photo of the recipe, the URL of your post, name of the recipe and the URL of the original blogger's recipe post.
IMPORTANT New Note: If at all possible, please make sure your photo is less than, say, 700 pixels wide. I can't upload larger files into Wordpress and so have to resize them, which makes me cranky and gives me less time to wax poetic about your beautiful post. *For instructions on how to use a free online photo editor to do this, see the bottom of this post.
5) Post YOUR POST's URL in a comment to this post, and if possible please try to visit two other blogger's posts that are posted here (and comment!).
*The goal is to make this event more interactive and fun!
Sign up BEFORE November 29 (loose deadline; late sign-ups are ok)
Post your Review and Email me by December 10 (firm deadline, no foolin')
If you don't have a blog, you are still welcome to adopt a gluten-free blogger. Sign up to adopt a blogger, write a review of one of their recipes, including your name (or pen name), the recipe URL and recipe title. Then take a photo of the completed recipe (if you can) and EMAIL ME the review and photo. I will create a special page just for our non-blogging participants and post it for you.

*Instructions on how to resize photos:
Resizing photos is really handy, and will serve you well whether for your blog, in emails sending photos to friends and families, and when participating in online Blog events! Unless the photo is going to be printed, it only has to look good on your computer screen. A good rule of thumb is to keep it small enough that at its largest, it will fit nicely on a small laptop screen, or inside a blog frame on a small laptop screen.
To re-size your photo, you can either use software on your computer or an online photo editor. I use Adobe Photoshop myself, but often digital cameras come with software that will allow you to resize your photos. If you don't know how to use your bundled software, you can always use an online photo editor. I have used the Google owned site www.Picnik.com in the past. They let you edit your photo online for free. There are some fun features, too. I notice they have a lot of buttons saying "upgrade to premium" blah blah blah. You don't have to in order to resize, so don't let them scare you. :) You also don't have to create an account if you don't want to.
Here are instructions on how to resize in Picnik
Basically, you upload your photo, and then the two important tabs are EDIT and SAVE AND SHARE. Actually, once you upload the photo, you don't even have to use the "Resize" button under the Edit folder. You can resize in the SAVE AND SHARE tab, before you save. Hope this helps!

TROY - David Dunford, former U.S. Ambassador to Oman and an expert in Middle East policy, will visit Troy University this week as a part of the University's Ambassador-in-Residence program.
Dunford is the fifth Ambassador-in-Residence fellow hosted by the University's Department of Political Science through the Woodrow Wilson Visiting Fellows program. The program, which is administered by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) in Washington, DC, brings prominent artists, diplomats, journalists, business leaders, and other professionals to campuses across the United States for a week-long residential program of classes, seminars, workshops, lectures, and informal discussions. TROY's Ambassador-in-Residence program is supported by the Wallace D. Malone Fund.
Dunford's intensive five-day visit will begins today and includes meetings and lectures on the Troy, Montgomery and Dothan campuses. He will lecture to and meet with students and faculty informally throughout the week to share his practical knowledge of Middle East political, economic and social development.
A public lecture will be held at 4 p.m., Thursday in the Hawkins Hall Auditorium on the Troy Campus.
"Ambassador Dunford will be a perfect fit for TROY. Our students will have a chance to meet a world class scholar with deep knowledge of Middle East affairs who also has plenty of real world work experience," said Dr. Jonathan Harrington, director of the Master of Science in International Relations program. "We're delighted that he will also have time to get to know our campuses and explore in depth how the classroom and campus relate to the broader society."
Ambassador Dunford, a member of the U.S. Foreign Service for 29 years, served three years as U.S. Ambassador to Oman, and four years as Deputy Ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the 1990-91 Gulf War.
In addition to his service as a U.S. Ambassador, he has also worked for General Garner and Ambassador Bremer in Iraq in 2003 as the senior official in charge of reorganizing Iraq's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. His other assignments included Economic Minister-Counselor in Cairo, Director of Egyptian Affairs in Washington, Deputy Assistant U.S. Trade Representative in the Executive Office of the President, and Coordinator of the multinational team tasked with setting up MENABANK, a proposed regional multilateral development bank in Cairo. He is also former Chairman and active board member of AIPT, a non-profit organization specializing in international exchanges.
Dunford currently teaches courses on the Arab-Israeli Conflict and the Middle East Business Environment at the University of Arizona and consults for government and the private sector on Middle East Issues. He received his bachelor degree in economics, politics, and engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1964, before earning his master's degrees from Stanford University in political science (1965) and economics (1976).

The literal meaning of standing stock still is staying as immobile as a tree trunk (stocc from O.E.). The same root word also appears as the stock of a rifle and being of good family stock. "Stuck still" blends in the image of being stuck in place.
he ran out of stones to step on and suddenly stood stuck still on the last stone …He stayed there for an hour until finally his father came and picked him up, freeing him from his immobility. (http://web.yingjiesheng.com/kaoyan/list … 29366.html)

Related to stuck still, there is a stuck reminder.

All these are a stuck reminder that it is better to be governed by a nationalist than a foreign stooge like MDC-T!!

Everyone seems to have somehow shimmied around "stark still' unless it's really here and my failing eye has missed it. If so, apologies…

I hope whoever mines these things for inclusions in the *!Database!* (should be flashing lights around the name, with the importance some —not those here— seem to give it) reads all the subsequent posts. To include just stuck still there as representative of this discussion would be some kind of a trajesty (/travedy).
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
For the sake of completeness, here are citations for "stood stand still." I'm convinced I've heard this formulation my whole life – in fact, I think I may have used it in speech, at least – but it's not common (roughly 50 ughits), and it seems to be something of a regionalism, with many of the hits from India. Examples:
He just stood stand still with his hands folded and stared . . .

There's something about "stood stand still" that is nicely calamitous. It's like a Voight-Kampff question the mind rebels against. To start, there is the duality of stand (verb/noun) and the trinity, at least, of still (adverb/adjective/noun, each polysemic). It is reminiscent of "The man the cat the dog bit scratched collapsed."* Unfortunately, I couldn't find the fully parallel "stood stand stilled".
Then, the time-warp confusion of stood and stand.
Then "standstill".
Drivers drove with their lights on with some hooting the horns of their vehicles while people stood standstill watching what was going on.
A joy to the mind, like too much wasabi to the nose.
* I don't remember where I came across this sentence, but is an instance on the web.
Just so long as you come to a full and complete stoic stock stuck stooken standstill before moving, it might be safe.
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
Big fuzzy spot, methinks: stuck, stark, starch, start, stoic

Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.

A report delivered to Burlington�s City Council Tuesday arrived eight months after talks first got underway about how to address problem areas of the city � largely in East Burlington.
Sparked from a meeting attended by 150 people in March at Fairchild Community Center, six subcommittees began to sit down and hold talks about everything from transportation to enforcing city codes.
And still, it�s just a beginning � but a promising beginning nonetheless.
Many of the issues outlined for the council by Holt Skinner, chairman of the Burlington Community Workgroup, don�t constitute breaking news to city leaders. Who didn�t know, for example, that appearance in sections of Burlington needs sprucing up? And slumlords who operate housing that approaches dilapidation have been a longtime criticism. Then there�s the sticky matter of public transportation. Council has been discussing how to address this particular problem for a decade or more, and still it was a key issue in the most recent election campaign for mayor and council.
Now, with so many well-established concerns before the council again, what should happen next?
Well, they should find ways to do something about them.
Early signs are promising.
Mayor Ronnie Wall pointed out that one of the most significant worries is already in the preliminary stages of being addressed. Earlier this month, the city signed an agreement with an outside attorney to look over the city�s codes and ordinances, and update laws on the books that don�t fit where the city is today.
The step after that is obvious. The city must enforce its own rules fairly, across the board and without hesitation.
�Code enforcement is something I think you�re going to hear more about from the council,� Wall predicted Tuesday night.
We�ll see. It�s a daunting task. Enforcement would entail tackling many of the biggest beautification complaints in East Burlington, from yard signs to how grass clippings are disposed of. Rules regarding boarding houses and so-called �slumlording� are other matters city officials must tackle head-on in order for real change to occur.
Does the city have enough staff to handle the job? Skinner didn�t think so on Tuesday. He advised the council to hire more code enforcement officers. That�s easier said than done at a time when local government budgets remain tight.
Public transportation is another potentially expensive service that Wall vowed during his re-election campaign to bring front and center for a decision in 2014. Council members over the years have been clearly divided on this matter and have discussed and studied it to near exhaustion. Most see the need. Burlington, after all, is the state�s largest city without a bus system. But the sticking point has always been funding, whether a municipal system can become self-sustaining and if other local governments want to join Burlington in a combined transit program.
The answer on public transportation could come as early as April, a deadline we heard during the municipal election earlier this fall. The sooner the better.
An answer there, and on enforcing city ordinances could go a long way in determining what will happen over the next decade in Burlington.

Governor Kitzhaber sent a formal request Thursday to President Obama asking for a federal disaster declaration due to statewide damage caused by severe winter storms in mid-January.
Hood River County was added to a list of 12 counties in Oregon that incurred enough damage during the weather event to qualify for Federal Emergency Management Agency assistance. In all, the week of intense snow, rain, ice, flooding and landslides caused tens of millions of dollars in damage in the 12 counties. Gov. Kitzhaber's office reported eligible public costs for the disaster at about $16.3 million statewide, as well as another $19.5 million in federal highway damage.
In Hood River County, damage to public infrastructure was estimated at $1.5 million. The figure is an estimate of damage to certain services and public agencies and does not include damage to private businesses or homes. The lion's share of the estimate came from Hood River Electric Co-op for significant damage to power lines and poles, the City of Hood River for expenses related to dealing with a landslide that threatened the city water line and Farmers Irrigation District for electrical damage and revenue lost from halting hydroelectricity production.
Shortly after the storm event, Gov. Kitzhaber directed the Office of Emergency Management to gather damage assessment data by county. FEMA and other personnel visited each county to gather information and make assessments. Benton, Columbia, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Hood River, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Polk and Tillamook counties were added to the Governor's letter.
If President Obama signs the declaration - which he is expected to do - FEMA will begin the detailed process of determining exactly how much each county will receive in relief funds.
"The resilience of our citizens and communities is impressive, but we must continue to assist counties that suffered significant damages from these severe winter storms," said Governor Kitzhaber. "Federal disaster aid will be essential to help our citizens and local governments fully recover."
Hood River County is no stranger to the FEMA process. The county has received emergency funding for three of the last six years (assuming it gets funding this year). Most recently, storms in 2008 blanketed the county in several feet of snow and shut down major roads and highways, including Interstate 84, for several days. Through FEMA funding, the county was able recuperate most of the cost associated with snow removal. FEMA funds were also awarded for storm-related damage in 1996, 2003 and 2006.
"We are sure we have met the threshold for infrastructure damage, so the county will be included in the disaster declaration," said Karl Tesch, Hood River County Emergency Management officer. "Once the declaration comes down from the President, that's when the real process begins. At that point, a team will assemble and work out how much each county will receive and where the money will go."
For Hood River county, the threshold for damage to private homes and businesses was not met. Only four of the 12 worst-hit counties on the declaration were on the Governor's letter for private property disaster relief.

The first few steps towards the new season are being taken this weekend by the Calgary Flames prospects. There are a lot of new faces in camp this year and more than one thing to watch heading into the main camp and pre-season…
The New Guys
Mikael Backlund, Ryley Grantham, Keith Seabrook, John Negrin, Keith Aulie are all turning pro this year. While Backlund has an outside shot of making the big squad, there's a good chance he and everyone else listed will be skating for Abbotsford for a majority of the season. Nevertheless, all 5 players will look to make an impression. Aulie and Negrin are players the organization is very high on and are tabbed to be future top 4 defenders for the big club, while Ryley Grantham will be fighting (literally and figuratively) to make the Heat. Keith Seabrook, brother of NHLer Brent, was acquired this summer from the the Washington Capitals for a nominal draft pick. A top pairing defender for one of the strongest clubs in the CHL the Calgary Hitmen, Seabrook is smaller, less defensively capable but more agile version of his brother.
The Fringe Guys
Also new to the Flames farm mix are Jason Jaffray, Riley Armstrong, Garth Murray, Anton Stralman and Niklas Kronwall. The latter two players have NHL experience and will be in the mix for the 7th defender position on the parent club. Armstrong and Jaffray are AHL pros and should be capable top 6 players for the Heat. Both of them may qualify as injury call-ups, although they'll be fighting for a Calgary cup-o-coffee with the likes of Kyle Greentree, Jamie Lundmark, David Van Der Gulik and pugilist Garth Murray.
The goalies
Last year, incumbent Matt Keetley lost the starting position to rookie and former first rounder Leland Irving. Most expect Irving to begin camp as the de facto #1, but don't expect Keetley to surrender so easily: the former 5th round pick won a Memorial Cup with the Medicine Hat Tigers in 2007 and put up the same SV% in his rookie campaign (.912) that Irving managed as a freshman last season. Keetley is a quality goaltender in line for a bounce back while Irving is considered the "heir apparent" in Calgary as the next starter after Kipprusoff. Should be a good battle.
The Walk-ons
The Flames have also invited 3 undrafted players to camp this year: College defender Josh Meyers as well as goalies David Shantz and Daniel Spence.
– Meyers was a former 7th round pick of the LA Kings back in 2005. The 6'3″ defenseman spent 4 years at the University of Minnesota/Duluth where put up okay results. His best season was his final one, scoring 10 goals and 28 points in 43 games from the blueline. Hockeys Future had this to say about him:
Meyers is a defenseman that can play on both the offensive and defensive sides of the rink, but he's not likely to ever be a point producer or a shut-down defender. Meyers is sound positionally and able to move the puck when called upon to contribute some offense in the right situations with a hard shot from the point.
– David Shantz has split time between the AHL and ECHL since going pro in 06/07, although he was high draft pick for the Florida Panthers in 2004 (37th overall). His stats in both leagues have been largely pedestrian, so don't expect him to surprise anyone.
– Daniel Spence only turned 20 years old last January and was the #1 goaltender for the Sarnia Sting of the OHL during his final season (although he played a majority of Junior career with the Calgary Hitmen). In 54 games, Spence managed 29 wins and a .914 SV% – good for 7th best in the league. Undrafted as an amateur, Spence could land himself a pro contract if he has a good a camp, although he'd likely be ECHL-bound given the guys above him currently.
Calgary has invited some interesting undrafted guys in the past, including Richie Regehr (now in Europe), Dennis Wideman (top 4 defender in Boston) and Mark Giordano (beloved Flame). This modest batch probably won't yield any future NHLers, but you never know…
So there you have it. Watch for more interesting developments as camp matures.

creates and initializes a StopWatch
subroutine create_watch (watch, clock, name, err)
Creates and initializes the specified clocks of the specified watches. Upon return from create_watch , all clocks are not running and have the value 0. All watches must be created before they are used or added to a watch group. In Fortran 90 it is impossible to test whether or not a watch has been created, and using a watch that has not been created may cause the program to crash. It is not an error to create a watch that has already been created, however the prior information and memory locations will be lost. Watches should be destroyed (see destroy_watch(3)) before they are recreated. Also, local variable watches should be destroyed before returning from a subroutine, to avoid memory leaks.
One or more watches must be specified. The argument watch can be a single variable of type watchtype (see stopwatch(3)) to create one watch, or an array of type watchtype to create several watches.
The optional argument clock specifies which clocks to create on the specified watch(es). If omitted, the current default clocks (see option_stopwatch(3)) are created. If present, clock must be a character string containing 'cpu', 'user', 'sys', or 'wall', or an array of such character strings.
The optional argument name allows you to attach a name to the watch. The name is used when printing error messages, or when printing clock values using print_watch. If omitted, the name of the watch is 'unnamed watch'. If present, it must be of the same rank and dimension as watch. Watch names are limited to 132 characters.
If present, the optional intent OUT integer argument err returns a status code. The code is the sum of the values listed below.
An error message will be printed to a specified I/O unit (unit 6 by default) if print_errors is TRUE (default is TRUE). The error message contains more detail about the cause of the error than can be obtained from just the status code, so you should set print_errors to TRUE if you have trouble determining the cause of the error.
If abort_errors is TRUE (default is FALSE), the program will terminate on an error condition. Otherwise, the program will continue execution but the watch(es) will not be created.
See option_stopwatch(3) for further information on print_errors, abort_errors and I/O units.
The relevant status codes and messages are:
In addition to the run time diagnostics generated by StopWatch
, the following
problems may arise:
type (watchtype) w1, w2(3), w3
integer errcode
call create_watch(w1)
call create_watch(w2, name=(/'part 1', 'part 2', 'total '/), err=errcode)
call create_watch(w3, (/'cpu ', 'wall'/), err=errcode)
The first call creates the default clocks on a single watch with name 'unnamed watch'. The second call creates the default clocks on three watches given as an array and with names 'part 1', 'part 2', and 'total', and returns a status code. The third call creates one watch with the cpu and wall clocks, the name 'unnamed watch', and returns a status code.
None known.

Who is tracking what you do online?
I frequently hear about Internet users who always clean all of their cookies, citing fears of privacy issues or identity theft. If I ask some of those users what an Internet cookie is, I receive a variety of replies indicating a multiplicity of definitions varying from somewhat accurate to wildly inaccurate. There is equal misunderstanding about the functions of cookies and the degree of risk they pose to the user. I sometimes ask if they also delete their LSO or "Local Shared Object" cookies as well, which is typically responded to with a blank stare.
Cookies have been around since the early days of the World Wide Web, first used in beta version of Netscape in 1994, and are by default saved by most browsers. According to Wikipedia, "A cookie, also known as an HTTP cookie, Web cookie, or browser cookie, is usually a small piece of data sent from a website and stored in a user's Web browser while a user is browsing a website." These are small text files, not to exceed 4kb in size. By themselves, cookies are inert pieces of data that cannot transmit viruses and cannot infect the computer with malware. Some cookies are beneficial for the user while other cookies may be used to track the users' Web surfing habits, a major privacy concern.
Some of the good or beneficial cookies are used as shopping carts, which temporarily store a list of items being purchased online from a particular website; other beneficial cookies are referred to in the trade as "authentication cookies," which indicate to a website the authenticity of a user, often including an encrypted username and password when a user clicks "Remember Me" on a website, allowing the user future access without the need to login. In some cases, if an authentication cookie is not properly encrypted, it can be read by a hacker, which will then give the hacker access to the user's Web account on that particular site; while this has indeed occurred, it is not considered to be a common threat at present due to the security enhancements built into all modern browsers.
The most controversial type of cookie, one that has attracted the ire of regulators in the U.S. and Europe, is the tracking cookie, called by some a "persistent cookie." Wikipedia describes them as "third-party tracking cookies commonly used as ways to compile long-term records of individuals' browsing histories. ... Advertising companies use third-party cookies to track a user across multiple sites. In particular, an advertising company can track a user across all pages where it has placed advertising images or Web bugs. Knowledge of the pages visited by a user allows the advertising company to target advertisements to the user's presumed preferences." Many users actually benefit to some degree by having some tracking cookies on their computers, as the advertisers who financially support the websites that we visit (and keep them free for us) can better and more efficiently target advertising to the user. A recent study by McCann Truth Central covering Internet tracking found that 69 percent of respondents surveyed indicated that they believe that they get better discounts and promotions; 42 percent appreciate the targeted advertising that displays items of interest to them; 32 percent appreciate the convenience and ease of checkout because sellers already have information on them; and 24 percent like the fact that these targeted advertisements display items of interest that the users were unaware of. According to McCann, "Folks around the globe are more than willing to share their personal information as long as there's something in it for them. The more the benefits, the more information they'll share." Seven out of 10 people asked said they were willing to share their personal information when it meant they had access to promotions and discounts.
There are also inherent risks with tracking cookies, in that they might be used to violate the Web surfer's privacy, in that third parties often compensate Web sites for planting their cookies on users' computers. It is the compilation of the websites visited and unknowingly disclosed to third parties that invokes privacy fears, in that your personal profile is being developed and read by others for a variety of legitimate and illicit purposes. With tracking cookies, it is easy to determine many of an individual's demographic characteristics including race, gender, income, marital status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, hobbies and interests, religion and other facets of life that we prefer to keep private.
Some tracking cookies are sneaky in the way that they are placed on the computer by websites that have been visited. These "web bugs" are also called Web beacons, tracking bugs, tags and other somewhat descriptive names. In order to slip through some forms of browser security, a Web bug is actually a tiny GIF file, consisting of a single pixel (the tiny dots that make up the image on your monitor are pixels or "picture elements"). The miniscule images are sometimes called a tracking pixel, pixel tag, or a 1×1 gif. Since browsers are designed to display GIF and other common image formats, a Web bug or GIF image of a single pixel will be virtually invisible to the user when displayed on a Web page. Most users are oblivious to the fact that most browsers, again by default, respond to images displayed by transmitting back to the sender of the Web bug information culled from the user's browser, including operating system, IP address, and other information that in some cases could also include the user's name. Since almost all e-mail programs support HTML based e-mail, Web bugs are frequently used by spammers to report back to them when the recipient of the spam e-mail opens the spam before deleting it. Now the spammer has a confirmation of the target's e-mail address, as well as the ability to gather additional information from the recipient's computer.
Another type of tracking cookie, the one that most Internet users are totally unaware of, is the LSO or "Local Shared Objects," which are not the typical text based cookie, or the common variety of Web bug, but instead are cookies written in Adobe Flash, undetectable by most users and cookie cleaning utilities. According to Wikipedia, "Local shared objects contain data stored by individual Web sites. With the default settings, the Flash Player does not seek the user's permission to store local shared objects on the hard disk." While the traditional text based cookie is generally limited to 4kb in size, these LSO or flash cookies can be up to 100kb in size, thus capable of storing much more information about the user and the websites visited. Unlike common cookies, which are all connected to a specific browser, the one which wrote them to the hard drive, LSO cookies are independent of the browser, thus can be shared (read) by any browser on the computer. For example, if I receive an LSO cookie while browsing with Firefox, and later open Internet Explorer, the LSO cookies written by Firefox will also be accessible to Internet Explorer. With Internet Explorer open, Web sites can read the LSO cookies received earlier by Firefox, allowing targeted advertising, dynamic content, or other forms of targeting just as if I still had Firefox open.
Almost all contemporary browsers offer a "Do Not Track" function (also listed as "DNT") in their privacy settings. In theory, this tells Web sites not to track this particular user; while some websites honor this request, many do not, making this function somewhat dubious but still appropriate to select.
Since I value my privacy, and primarily use the latest version of Firefox on all of my PC's, I use a variety of utilities to control the placement of tracking cookies, Web bugs, and LSO cookies on my computer. A cute little free program called Ghostery (www.ghostery.com) can detect the different varieties of Web bugs and Web beacons as well as the tracking cookies on any Web site visited, displaying all of them to the user immediately after opening a Web page, thus allowing the user to take control over what is placed on a computer. Ghostery is available (free) for Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer and iOS devices (iPhone and iPad versions). I also use a Firefox add-on BetterPrivacy (addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/betterprivacy) which deletes any LSO or Flash cookies that may have been loaded during a session, automatically deleting them when closing Firefox.
Being aware of the types of privacy issues that may arise from online tracking and how tracking devices may be used or abused by others, users can better control who has access to their Internet website history and what they can do with it.

Did Penn State avoid NCAA 'Death penalty'?
On the day after the statue of a coach that stood for so much good but now is being portrayed as something far different, the program that Joe Paterno built was rocked to its very foundation.
The NCAA, citing the Freeh Report (paid for by the very college that itself was the center of the investigation) and a "thorough investigation" handed down what could be argued as their harshest penalties. They did so against a football program that for so long was the pride of the institution. Read the rest of this entry »

Quick Picks: Kyoho Grapes
Tis the season of Kyoho Grapes, the succulent Concord-like grapes from Japan. These, robust, perfectly spherical grapes are bursting with sweet grape flavor. They have a relatively short window so get them now at various farmers' markets. I get mine at the Sunday Hollywood farmers' market on Ivar between Sunset and Hollywood.

BAYBORO � Bradley Bennett found his rhythm from beyond the 3-point arc.
BAYBORO � Bradley Bennett found his rhythm from beyond the 3-point arc.
Pamlico�s sharpshooting junior connected on four treys to propel the Hurricanes to their first Coastal Plains Conference win of the season.
Bennett finished with 19 points as Pamlico knocked off Dixon, 75-61, on Tuesday in Bayboro.
Pamlico (6-7, 1-1 Coastal Plains) built a 12-point lead following a three-point play by senior Jermicus Brown in the second quarter. Dixon rallied to cut its deficit to 31-26 at halftime.
Pamlico extended its cushion to 14 points after a bucket by D.J. Lewis. The Bulldogs finished the third quarter strong, trailing 49-45 after a lay-up by Robbie Wyble.
Brown converted three free throws to push Pamlico�s advantage back to double-digits with 1:05 remaining.
The Hurricanes put the game away.
�I told the guys in there that it�s better to win ugly than lose pretty,� Pamlico coach Earl Sadler said. �This was big to get this monkey off our back. You can�t go 0-2 in the conference and expect to compete for a conference championship.�
Dixon�s Daniel Page scored 18 points and snagged nine rebounds before fouling out with 1:30 left in the game.
Brown helped Pamlico with 16 points and 12 rebounds. D.J. Lewis poured in 18, Josiah Simmons added seven and Arthur Randall had six.
�That�s the way we play,� Sadler said. �The ball is going to go to who is open and who is knocking shots down. We have guys that didn�t score that could be the next 19-point scorer.�
Jaylen Mitchell and Curtis Trexel both scored 12 points for Dixon.
The Hurricanes travel to Lejeune on Friday.
Pamlico 53, Dixon 43
BAYBORO � The Pamlico Hurricanes needed a second-half surge to beat Dixon, 53-43, in a girls� basketball game on Tuesday in Bayboro.
Trailing for most of the first half, and part of the third quarter, Hurricanes� senior Kenya Midgette drained a 3-pointer three minutes into the second half to give Pamlico a 26-24 lead. It was the Hurricanes first advantage since early in the first quarter.
�(Kenya) makes them in practice, and she asks me why she can�t make them in a game,� Pamlico coach April Rose said. �I told her it will come at the right time. Every game we need someone to give us a boost. That was definitely the momentum booster.�
Pamlico (8-3, 2-0 Coastal Plains) outscored Dixon, 38-23, in the second half to clinch their second-consecutive conference victory.
The Hurricanes fell behind, 20-15, at halftime. They went on a 9-0 run at the end of the third quarter to take a 35-28 lead.
�I thought we were a lot better than they were,� Rose said. �I thought we were at least 10 to 15 points better than them. We just couldn�t get it going until the second half.�
Freshman Brianna Jones led Pamlico with a game-high 18 points to go along with five rebounds and five assists. Freshman Laichelle Sparrow contributed 11 points and seven boards.
�Laichelle had a better night,� Rose said. �We�ve been talking to her about keeping her poise and staying focused.
�Brianna had a good game. I was impressed with how she kept her head on tonight. She is playing more and more like an upperclassman.�
Sophomore Alazia Whitfield added seven points and nine rebounds for Pamlico and freshman Nylaa Tutt had six points and seven rebounds.
Dixon was paced by Corkie Aquafredda�s 20 points. Miranda Davis scored 10 points and ripped down eight rebounds. Carly Rochelle added eight points.
Pamlico dominated the rebounding battle, 38-25.
�We had a couple girls step up with some big plays,� Rose said. �We know what we have to do and where we need to be. We all need to be firing on the same level all the time.�
The Hurricanes travel to Lejeune on Friday.

About AG
This is how all music services have operated since.... they have existed. e.g. the iTunes store allowed users to activate a limited number of devices (this was a decade ago).
If everyone sold this way, I'd have no hesitation in downloads like I buy DVDs and CDs.
I hate this DRM crap.. can't buy from Amazon and play on iPad, can't buy from Apple and play anywhere but Apple hardware. I don't want to re-buy all my content every time I upgrade my gadgets. At least DVD DRM is super easy to remove and CDs don't come with DRM, allowing me to do whatever the hell I want with stuff I've already paid for.
Just an awesome business model...
This is how I'd like all my content please: Reasonable price, DRM free, play anywhere, no hassle payment and download.
I bought a copy just to support the model, never seen this man's routine before.
One thing is clear: Rhapsody should be charged with inciting infringement and taken to court. How dare they tell their customers to circumvent DRM?!!
Is it just me or does everyone finding getting rid of Bieber's music infinitely desirable? The DMCA came through on one good thing at least...
1) 20 years of text messaging should have already accomplished what he thinks Twitter is about to. Not going to happen. The garbage that generates ridiculous amounts of revenue for phone companies has just (partially) shifted to Twitter. All that garbage was always present.
2) 25% of tweets contain links. I don't know what percentage of traffic this site generates through twitter links, but for many tech focused sites, Twitter is a major source of page views. So, actually, Twitter is being used by many people to connect with the same sort of "big ideas" which use lots of "words" that he thinks are dying out.
He is scared of Twitter for some reason and using any ridiculous argument to justify his personal prejudice.
By the same reasoning, you *could* also sell your fucking album for xxx dollars and recoup all the costs in one sale. Or are you too fucking dense to get that?
Ha ha ha ... you were joking, weren't you?
if you weren't joking, then obviously you don't have an MBA, or any common sense. Recouped on first sale? Every piece of furniture sold incurs "real" physical material costs, which you can't create for free... unlike virtual goods (movies, music etc.) that cost close to nothing to replicate after the initial development costs and can be packaged in virtually limitless ways.
Where do you think it's easier to recoup the money?
I love articles by actual creators and their experiences. Thanks so much Nina!
Even if there are zero copyright protections, artists will still make money from touring. And from this evidence, seems like that's where they make their money anyway.
I agree with this in a way.
To bring up the hated "my mom" argument up again. I don;t think my mom is too dumb to use a "REAL" computer. What's too complicated for her is keeping up with security updates, anti-virus updates and just any software update in general. She doesn't understand defrgamenting the hard drive, crashing drivers or re-installing software.
However, she's isn't dumb enough to pay extravagant prices for the same things she can get elsewhere for much less... or free. She can use the iPad Safari browser and the millions of free apps with free content, without having to worry about security issues, pop up ads that want you to install "add ons" or other assorted junk on the internet. A closed platform is plenty helpful there.
So a closed platform is good business for Apple, which sells the hardware but if the media companies think they can make a bundle on selling content, they had better think again. Making money in the iPhone market remains as difficult as ever (except for Apple, of course) and it's not going to magically change with the iPad.
Now's the time for Palm to push WebOS as strongly as possible. Just getting a hammering on the stock market is meaningless, they were getting hammered before WebOS was released too. I love the Pre, Palm has added significant performance improvements with every OS update and a new one is expected with the release of the Pixi.
- We're up to 320 apps in the store. There's hundreds more homebrew apps. (http://www.precentral.net/how-to-install-homebrew-apps)
- There is already a dedicated developer and hacker community that is releasing patches to add useful features. (http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Main_Page) They even came up with an on-screen keyboard!
- Palm hired a key engineer from AMD/ATI recently. (http://www.precentral.net/palm-grabs-amds-linux-graphics-engineer-puts-him-work-webos) Thankfully, they seem to be serious about pushing the performance envelope.
- Palm's share of the mobile browser market is already at 5% and growing every month (http://www.precentral.net/admob-report-shows-palm-web-use-more-20)
Give up on the WebOS? No. Diverting the company's attention away from what is their most promising platform in a decade is not the way to go. Wall Street be damned (for a while, anyway).
I expect better from you Mike, than making a broad judgement based on a superficial look at WebOS. Not up to the standard of research of this blog :)
I'd **have** bought...
... another book package, I loved mine, glad I got it couple of days before it sold out.
I'd bought the music package except I didn't like most of the music in there. Splitting it up next time is the clear way to go.
If they had asked for permission to play a prank explicitly, it wouldn't be a prank anymore. So basically, for the whole pathetic idea to work, they had to somehow get her consent without her knowing about it. Uninformed consent was by design.
I've heard cases where the mere presence of encryption software like TrueCrypt and Bitlocker was considered grounds for a search, since you wouldn't encrypt anything you didn't want to hide, would you?
Any idea as to how many travelers actually carried laptops / electronics? Comparing that number (rather than a blanket 144 million number) to the number of searches might make this look very different....
B) should would include computer operating systems too, since they can play music. So that would mean any open source OS would basically have to pay up or be considered illegal. What fun for the music inductry.

Guide to best practices for ocean acidification research and data reporting
Important: download the erratum (PDF; updated 20 July 2011)
Please note that this erratum is for the first edition of the guide.
Please cite this document as:
Riebesell U., Fabry V. J., Hansson L. & Gattuso J.-P. (Eds.), 2010. Guide to best practices for ocean acidification research and data reporting, 260 p. Luxembourg: Publications Office of the European Union.
Ocean acidification is an undisputed fact. The ocean presently takes up one-fourth of the carbon CO2 emitted to the atmosphere from human activities. As this CO2 dissolves in the surface ocean, it reacts with seawater to form carbonic acid, increasing ocean acidity and shifting the partitioning of inorganic carbon species towards increased CO2 and dissolved inorganic carbon, and decreased concentration of carbonate ion.
While our understanding of the possible consequences of ocean acidification is still rudimentary, both the scientific community and the society at large are increasingly concerned about the possible risks associated with ocean acidification for marine organisms and ecosystems. As this new and pressing field of marine research gains momentum, many in our community, including representatives of coordinated research projects, international scientific organisations, funding agencies, and scientists in this field felt the need to provide guidelines and standards for ocean acidification research.
To initiate this process, the European Project on Ocean Acidification (EPOCA) and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) jointly invited over 40 leading scientists active in ocean acidification research to a meeting at the Leibniz Institute of Marine Science (IFM-GEOMAR) in Kiel, Germany on 19-21 November 2008. At the meeting, which was sponsored by EPOCA, IOC, the Scientific Council on Oceanic Research (SCOR), the U.S. Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Project (OCB) and the Kiel Excellence Cluster "The Future Ocean", the basic structure and contents of the guide was agreed upon and an outline was drafted. In the following months, the workshop participants and additional invited experts prepared draft manuscripts for each of the sections, which were subsequently reviewed by independent experts and revised according to their recommendations. Starting 15 May 2009, the guide was made publicly available for an open community review.
We are very grateful to all colleagues who have committed their precious time to the preparation of this guide as section editors, lead and contributing authors, and reviewers. It is envisioned to revisit and possibly revise the guide to accommodate new developments in the field in a few years time.
