We've all had the problem, we're trying to do something and the form locks up, so we decide it's come to that time where we have to use another thread. Great, spaghetti code awaits. We get a coffee and we set to, eventually coming up with an awesome multi-threaded solution which keeps our form redrawing whilst we process what we're processing... except for when we try to update the form and get the dreaded Cross-thread operation not valid: Control accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.
It may seem the quickest fix, but please don't under any circumstance use this recipe for disaster, ever.
Form1.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false; // this is bad!
The situation isn't as dire as it first seems, read on and you'll see how to quickly fix this. In no time it'll become second nature. The first snippet applies if you have to pass parameters to a control, for example, you want to write text to a textbox:
using System; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Threading; namespace CrossThreadCalls { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private delegate void ObjectDelegate(object obj); private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // first thing we do is create a delegate pointing to update method ObjectDelegate del = new ObjectDelegate(UpdateTextBox); // then simply enough, we invoke it del.Invoke("Hello from button1_Click!"); // if we wanted to create a thread to use it, we'd use a // params threadstart and pass the delegate as an object Thread th = new Thread(new ParameterizedThreadStart(WorkThread)); th.Start(del); } private void WorkThread(object obj) { // we would then unbox the obj into the delegate ObjectDelegate del = (ObjectDelegate)obj; // and invoke it like before del.Invoke("Hello from WorkThread!"); } private void UpdateTextBox(object obj) { // do we need to switch threads? if (InvokeRequired) { // we then create the delegate again // if you've made it global then you won't need to do this ObjectDelegate method = new ObjectDelegate(UpdateTextBox); // we then simply invoke it and return Invoke(method, obj); return; } // ok so now we're here, this means we're able to update the control // so we unbox the object into a string string text = (string)obj; // and update textBox1.Text += text + "\r\n"; } } }
Now lets say you simply want to run a method which doesn't take any arguments, things get much easier now. As with before we invoke the method, but there is no need for delegates:
using System; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Threading; namespace TestApp2 { public partial class Form2 : Form { public Form2() { InitializeComponent(); } private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // no delegates are needed here UpdateTextBox(); // just to show what it'd be like from another thread // we create a standard thread without params Thread th = new Thread(new ThreadStart(WorkThread)); th.Start(); } private void WorkThread() { // we have no params, so just call the method UpdateTextBox(); } private void UpdateTextBox() { // do we need to switch threads? if (InvokeRequired) { // slightly different now, as we dont need params // we can just use MethodInvoker MethodInvoker method = new MethodInvoker(UpdateTextBox); Invoke(method); return; } // as we didn't take a param, we just update textBox1.Text += "Hello world!\r\n"; } } }
So as you see, it's actually quite easy.
If you're having difficulties, come and ask us in the Dream.In.Code C# corner.

Dolores won four of five wrestling duals last Saturday at the Kirtland Central (N.M) Tournament.
The Bears placed third behind New Mexico's Shiprock High School and Piedra Vista High School, the defending 4A New Mexico state champions.
Wyatt Wade, Deano Valdez and Kacee Davis each took first with 5-0 records at 145, 152 and 160 pounds.
Wyatt Mattausch and Kellen Gatzke both placed second at 132 and 170 with identical 4-1 marks on the day.
"We wrestled pretty tough. I felt the kids did a great job," Dolores coach Leo Garand said. "We won 30 out of 40 individual matches. It's a nice tune-up before we head to Page (Ariz.) this weekend."
The Page tourney is Friday and Saturday.
"I think it's a great tune-up for getting ready for regionals and state," Garand said. "There's suppose to be five states represented at Page. It will let us know where we're at right before regionals."
Before the Bears go to Arizona, they host Utah's Monticello High School tonight in the school auxiliary gym.
"It's a real tough home dual match. It's nice to get them on the schedule," said Garand about 1A Monticello. "It's a nice measuring tool to see where we're at right now."
Wrestling starts tonight at 7 p.m.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin.
Alternative Names
Alpha-tocopherol; Gamma-tocopherol
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects body tissue from damage caused by substances called free radicals. Free radicals can harm cells, tissues, and organs. They are believed to play a role in certain conditions related to aging.
The body also needs vitamin E to help keep the immune system strong against viruses and bacteria.
Vitamin E is also important in the formation of red blood cells and it helps the body use
Cells use vitamin E to interact with each other and carry out many important functions.
Whether vitamin E can prevent cancer, heart disease, dementia, liver disease, and stroke is still not known.
Food Sources
The best way to get the daily requirement of vitamin E is by eating food sources. Vitamin E is found in the following foods:
- Vegetable oils (such as wheat germ, sunflower, safflower, corn, and soybean oils)
- Nuts (such as almonds, peanuts, and hazelnuts/filberts)
- Seeds (such as sunflower seeds)
- Green leafy vegetables (such as spinach and broccoli)
- Fortified breakfast cereals, fruit juices, margarine, and spreads. Fortified means that vitamins have been added to the food. Check the Nutrition Fact Panel on the food label.
Products made from these foods, such as margarine, also contain vitamin E.
Side Effects
Eating vitamin E in foods is not risky or harmful. In supplement form, however, high doses of vitamin E might increase the risk for bleeding and serious bleeding in the brain.
High levels of vitamin E may also increase the risk of birth defects.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamins reflect how much of each vitamin most people should get each day.
- The RDA for vitamins may be used as goals for each person.
- How much of each vitamin you need depends on your age and gender.
- Other factors, such as pregnancy, breast-feeding, and illnesses may increase the amount you need.
The Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine Recommended Intakes for Individuals for vitamin E:
Infants (adequate intake of vitamin E)
- 0 to 6 months: 4 mg/day
- 7 to 12 months: 5 mg/day
- 1 to 3 years: 6 mg/day
- 4 to 8 years: 7 mg/day
- 9 to 13 years: 11 mg/day
Adolescents and Adults
- 14 and older: 15 mg/day
- Pregnant teens and women: 15 mg/day
- Breastfeeding teens and women: 19 mg/day
Ask your health care provider which amount is best for you.
The highest safe level of vitamin E supplements for adults is 1,500 IU/day for natural forms of vitamin E, and 1,000 IU/day for the man-made (synthetic) form.

Preds seek to tighten up defense in battle with Avs
After allowing six or more goals for the third time in eight games, the Nashville Predators will try to get back in the win column when they visit the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday.
The Predators had a three-game winning streak halted with Thursday's 7-4 home setback against the Phoenix Coyotes. The wild contest saw Phoenix grab a 6-3 lead after the first period before things settled down.
Nashville allowed seven goals total during its recent three-game winning streak before surrendering the same amount in one game against the Coyotes. The Predators also yielded seven and six goals against Vancouver and Calgary on March 14 and 15, respectively.
Shea Weber, David Legwand, Rich Clune and Gabriel Bourque scored for the Predators, who are two points out of a playoff spot in the Western Conference.
"Obviously we have to crack down on the mistakes and realize what we did wrong," said Weber. "We got to win games if we want to stay in this race."
Pekka Rinne allowed four goals on 20 shots before he was pulled for Chris Mason. Mason didn't fare much better, however, allowing three goals on nine shots.
The Preds, who are just 5-11-2 on the road this season, could be without Mike Fisher on Saturday after the veteran forward injured his hand in Thursday's loss. Fisher was hurt blocking a shot, but did not break any bones and is questionable for Saturday.
Nashville could get Paul Gaustad back for the first time since March 12. The centerman has sat out the last eight games with an upper body issue, but was activated off injured reserve on Friday.
The Avalanche, who are last in the Western Conference and 10 points out of a playoff spot, have lost four straight and eight of their last nine games, but Colorado did beat the Preds in the only meeting between the clubs this season.
Colorado recorded a 6-5 regulation win against a visiting Predators club on Feb. 18, snapping a nine-game losing streak in the series. Nashville had also won four straight in Denver before last month's setback.
The Avs suffered a fourth straight regulation loss on Thursday, dropping a 4-1 decision in Vancouver. Daniel Sedin scored the winner in the third period to lead the Canucks and Colorado fell to 2-12-3 on the road this season.
Matt Duchene had the lone goal for the Avalanche, while Semyon Varlamov gave up two goals on 18 shots.
"They got some timely goals and we got some unlucky bounces," said Duchene.
Colorado has done most of its damage this season on home ice, going 9-6-1 in the Mile High City.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (December 4, 2011)—A two time graded stakes winner at Hollywood Park, Briecat will make her first start in more than eight months in the $60,000 Cool Air Stakes Wednesday.
Named in honor of the talented sprinter whose wins for owner Frank Stronach and trainer Gary Jones included the 1994 Hollywood Park Budweiser Breeders' Cup, the Cool Air – at six furlongs on turf – is the seventh of eight races. Post time Wednesday is 12:30 p.m.
Trained by Vladimir Cerin for owners David and Holly Wilson, Briecat hasn't been seen since finishing fourth as the 7-5 favorite in the restricted Santa Lucia Stakes March 27 at Santa Anita.
A 6-year-old daughter of Adcat and the Marlin mare Silk Briefcase, the Florida bred has won nine of 28 and earned $589,527.
Her first graded victory at Hollywood Park came in the Grade II Bayakoa Handicap when she led throughout at 13-1 Dec. 7, 2008. The other came when she took the Grade II Las Palmas Handicap – on turf – Oct. 31, 2010. Briecat went gate-to-wire once more and was again 13-1.
The Cool Air will be Briecat's first race at less than one mile since she finished fourth in the 6 ½ furlong Mesa Handicap March 14, 2009 at Turf Paradise.
Dominant in the restricted Louis R. Rowan Oct. 9 at Santa Anita, Home Sweet Aspen will be seeking her third consecutive victory as she tries grass for the first time.
Bred and owned by Jenny Craig's Family Trust and trained by John Sadler, Home Sweet Aspen is a 3-year-old Candy Ride filly out of the Groovy mare My Gal Groovy. She has not been worse than second in six starts- winning three – and has earned $157,822.
Owned by Marsha Naify and trained by Julio Canani, Givine won the Great Lady M. Stakes May 29 at the Cool Air distance. A 4-year-old French bred daughter of Blackdoun and the Double Bed mare Viguerie, Givine has won six of 14 and earned $196,021. The gray comes off a runner-up finish behind Broken Dreams in the Grade III Sen. Ken Maddy Sept. 30 at Santa Anita.
Successful in four of six on grass – including a pair of wins in three tries over the Hollywood Park turf course – A Jealous Woman will be making her second start of 2011 for Three Cent Stable.
In her initial outing as a 5-year-old and for trainer Francis Meza, A Jealous Woman took on males and finished last in the Night Mover Stakes Nov. 18. The effort followed a 20-month layoff for the daughter of Muqtarib and the Fly So Free mare Miss Free Bird. The California bred has four wins in seven attempts and a bankroll of $150,080.
The well-traveled Rare Sunset will make her first start in California after consecutive easy victories at Turf Paradise.
Trained by Miguel Angel Silva for Canadian Sunshine Stable, the 6-year-old Anziyan mare out of the In Excess mare Rare Royalty has won nine of 35 and earned $112,087.
The two recent grass wins in Arizona were by a combined 11 ¼ lengths. She captured an optional claimer going 7 ½ furlongs Oct. 10, then won the Queen of Green 19 days later at one mile.
In a career that began in July, 2007, Rare Sunset has run at six different tracks. Besides Turf Paradise, she has competed at Yavapai Downs, Canterbury, Remington Park, Gulfstream Park and Tampa Bay Downs.
A 4-year-old Lost Soldier filly out of the Badger Land mare Sharons Song, Bella Diamante has been idle since finishing last in the Grade III Ouija Board May 30 at Lone Star Park.
Owned by Lone Star Stables and trained by Eric Guillot, Bella Diamante has won three of 15 and earned $237,351. Her most recent win came in the restricted Orleans Nov. 20, 2010 at Delta Downs.
Like Rare Sunset, Bella Diamante will be making her first appearance in California in the Cool Air. In addition to Delta Downs and Lone Star, the dark bay has raced at Oaklawn Park, Remington Park and Churchill Downs (where she finished last in the 2010 Kentucky Oaks won by Blind Luck).
Elle Special returns to Hollywood Park for the first time since June 11 as she makes her second start for owner Jerry Jamgotchian and trainer Eric Reed.
The 4-year-old daughter of Giant's Causeway and the Seeking the Gold mare Peinture Ancienne has won two of 11 and earned $45,812. Her last win came in an allowance at Kentucky Downs Sept. 12, her first race after being claimed for $35,000 July 28 at Saratoga.
From inside out, the field for the Cool Air Stakes: Briecat, Victor Espinoza rides, 124 pounds; Rare Sunset, Jocelyne Kenny, 122; Home Sweet Aspen, Joel Rosario, 120; A Jealous Woman, Hector Berrios, 118; Elle Special, Alonso Quinonez, 120; Bella Diamante, Martin Garcia, 118 and Givine, Rafael Bejarano, 120.

March 19, 1999:
In an awards ceremony
late last night in San Francisco, Calif., the International
Academy of the Digital Arts and Sciences announced that
web readers had awarded the 1999 Webby Awards People's
Voice Award for "Best Science Site" to Science@NASA.
"This is really an exceptional honor for all of
us here at the Space Sciences Laboratory, at the Marshall
Space Flight Center, and at NASA," commented Dr.
John Horack, who directs NASA/Marshall's science communications
process in Huntsville, Ala. "We're both grateful
for the external validation of the quality of our work,
especially from our customers, and gratified that others
share our view of how important it is for scientists to
take the initiative in communicating their work to those
who pay for it.
"We recognized awhile ago that the culture of science
needed changing, and that the scientists were the ones
who were going to have to step up to the new requirements
of their job in the post-Cold War era" commented
Dr. Greg Wilson, director of the Space Sciences Laboratory
at NASA/Marshall. "Our science communications process
helps us do as good a job in communicating new knowledge
as we have done in advancing the state of knowledge through
science research."
"We kind of treat the Web as our "indicator
species" of the science communications ecosystem,"
remarked Horack. "If the Web is doing well, we're
probably doing a good job overall in sharing our research
with those who can use it to make positive social, economic,
educational, and quality-of-life outcomes in society.
And these outcomes are really why we do science research
in the first place."
"...to advance and communicate scientific
knowledge and understanding of the Earth, the solar system,
and the Universe, and to use the environment of space
for research." (emphasis added)
This involves all of NASA's scientific research, and
places the communication of newly acquired knowledge and
understanding on an equal footing with the generation
of that knowledge and understanding.
Without communicating these advances, this part of NASA's
mission remains incomplete. Therefore, in order to do
their job, scientists need to better understand how to
communicate the contents and importance of their research
to the National Interest.
The concept of science communications is not new within
NASA. In fact, in the Aeronautics and Space Act of
1958, which created NASA, NASA is chartered to
"provide for the widest practicable and appropriate
dissemination of information concerning its activities
and the results thereof."
1999 People's Voice Award Winner for Best Science

The vibrant flavor and unmistakable taste of gumbo made with fresh Louisiana seafood has made its way to Orlando, Fla., leaving its consumers wanting more.
The vibrant flavor and unmistakable taste of gumbo made with fresh Louisiana seafood has made its way to Orlando, Fla., leaving its consumers wanting more.
Judges at the Florida Fishing Radio Gumbo Palooza have chosen 43-year-old Bourg native Byron Boquet's gumbo recipe as the competition's winner for the second year in a row.
The cook-off, which is only in its second year, raises money for buying fishing rods and reels and building decks for Give Kids the World, a nonprofit that raises money to teach kids how to fish.
Jason Muellenbach, Boquet's co-worker, said he's not surprised the gumbo wins each year.
"I've had Byron's gumbo many times. It's fantastic, the best I ever had," he said. "I won't say I expected him to win, but, honestly, I would have been disappointed if he didn't. It's that good."
Muellenbach, a Minnesota native, said he hasn't had gumbo with such great taste in the 16 years he's lived in Florida.
Boquet worked for the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office until around 1990 when he was offered a job in security investigations for the Walt Disney Company.
Later, he became a personal chef and eventually got hired as a chef with Ferguson's, a restaurant corporation and bath, kitchen and lighting company that hosts cooking demos.
"Then a friend opened a Louisiana restaurant in Orlando, and I started doing some consulting. Now I'm running the kitchen," Boquet said.
The South Terrebonne High School graduate went back to his roots to add special ingredients to his gumbo.
"I always tell people that love and patience make my gumbo so good. It takes time. You can't rush it," he said. "But I also get my seafood directly from south Louisiana instead of some of the cheap seafood that's imported into the United States that people try to pass off as Gulf seafood."
He enlisted the help of two local companies to show the Florida restaurant industry what the bayou region has to offer.
"I use Mariah Jade Seafood down in Dulac and Happy Kajun Seasoning from (Elrin) 'Peanut' (Fanguy Jr.) in Chauvin. Everyone loves the flavor they give to the gumbo," Boquet said.
Out of 400 contestants, Boquet's seafood- and okra-filled gumbo received nine out of 10 of the judges' votes.
His dish went up against restaurants from all over Orlando, including hotels and Universal Studios.
"When I compare imported seafood to Gulf seafood, people can see the difference. The one not from Louisiana is rubbery. When people say 'It doesn't have that seafood taste,' you know it's the seafood that leaves a nasty taste because of all the preservatives," Boquet said. "They say 'Oh my God. It's so good.' That's because the best seafood is down in Louisiana. I know where it's coming from. In these restaurants; they're getting seafood from all over the world, so I question where it's from. I know it's because everybody's trying to make a buck, but it's just not the same."

In a district meeting I'm a participant in, we're reading the book The 4 Disciplines of Execution. It's an interesting book, and the main thesis is that change isn't about doing everything, it's about breaking the essential stuff you want to get done into bites that people can handle, then building structures and cultures around those bite-sized pieces, helping the folks you work with understand how to measure and take score of their efforts and how they contribute to a larger goal. It's not a radical idea, but it does make sense, and the execution is the hardest part. I like the book and am looking forward to our continuing conversations (and hopefully action) about the text.
One of the biggest and most interesting elements of the book, to me at least, is the idea that you must trust the people in your organization to be able to track their own progress in what they do. Specifically, the authors suggest that while leadership should set the large goal (the "wildly important goal" in the language of the book), the participants in the work should be tracking and measuring their own small pieces of that goal. And, I'm sorry, but let's dig into the weeds of how the book says to do that, because it's going to be helpful.
The authors argue that there are two types of measures that folks can use to assess their progress. They call them "lag measures" and "lead measures." Lag measures are the ones that we often think about when we're talking about goals:
A lag measure is the measurement of a result you are trying to achieve. We call them lag measures because by the time you get the data the result has already happened, they are always lagging. . . . Lead measures are different; they foretell the result. They have two primary characteristics. First, a lead measure is predictive, meaning that if the lead measure changes, you can predict that the lag measure will also change. Second, a lead measure is influenceable; it can be directly influenced by the team. That is, the team can make a lead measure happen without a significant dependence on another team. (pp. 64-65)
In school terms, a lag measure is a state test score, or an end of year report card. But a lead measure might be a habit or practice that you implement or work on throughout the year, taking score every now and again. More on this in a minute. The book specifically mentions schools and schooling, and I thought this was a good way to say it:
For example, it's easy for schoolteachers to measure the reading levels of students with a standardized test. Often, they obsess over these lag measures. However, it's harder to come up with lead measures that predict how students will do on the text. The school might hire tutors or reserve more time for uninterrupted reading. In any case, the school is likely to do better if it tracks data on time spent reading or in tutoring (lead measures) rather than hope and pray that the reading scores (lag measures) will rise of their own accord. (p. 66)
The tracking of lead measures is so important, the authors argue, because they're how you move in a new direction. Figure out what to observe, and the observation and tracking of it can change a course, or improve a result down the road. That's, again, pretty basic thinking, but it's right, and the hard part is building the habits and the follow through to do that. In fact, it's so hard, that the authors argue that one of the four disciplines is to "keep a compelling scoreboard" of those lead measures so that folks can pay attention to their change process. They phrase it this way:
The third discipline is to make sure everyone knows the score at all times, so that they can tell whether or not they are winning. (p. 80)
The scoreboard is a tool for engagement:
Simply put, people disengage when they don't know the score. When they can see at a glance whether or not they are winning they become profoundly engaged. (p. 80)
More important than having the scoreboard, though, is that the people playing the game1 need to be in charge of that scoreboard. They need to be trusted to use it. And the trust is sometimes hard to build from manager to employee, or teacher to student. Or district person to school person:
"So, how can I tell if they're doing these things?" the manager asked.
"You won't. Your people will track themselves."
"How do I know it's accurate?" the manager asked. "What if they lie?"
We bet he could trust them. (p.71-72)
As I read about these measures, and started to think about what lead measures we might want to focus on, which is tricky, because we're still, as a team, trying to determine our wildly important goal2, I realized that we don't, in general, give our students much trust when it comes to how we ask them to pay attention to their learning.
We collect an awful lot of data about our students. The third party tools that we buy for them to use as intervention, remediation, and sometimes textbook, collect lots of information about them, too. But when do they get that information back in a way that could help them to manage their own learning better?
Could we build some tools that would help to foster metacognition and habits of attention that would help our students learn better? Could we build them some compelling scoreboards and tools that they might use to get better at learning? Can we help them build their own?
That's a powerful idea for me right now. And there are certainly others thinking about this. Audrey Watters has written multiple thoughtful posts about the intersection of the Quantified Self movement and learning, and I'd encourage you to read her work. And, as I asked in a post a short while back, I'd encourage you to be thinking about how your students interact with the data you collect with and about them.
Maybe, too, you should be helping them to determine their own data dashboards to help them reach their own "wildly important goals."

NBA Capsules
NEW YORK (AP) — Joe Johnson scored 32 points, Shaun Livingston helped Brooklyn dominate the second overtime after LeBron James fouled out, and the Nets beat the Miami Heat 104-95 on Friday night for their fifth straight victory.
Livingston had two baskets and two blocked shots in the second OT, finishing with 19 points, 11 rebounds and five assists over 51 minutes in a sensational effort while starting for injured Deron Williams.
Paul Pierce scored 23 points but missed jumpers that could have won it at the end of regulation and the first overtime. Still, the Nets remained unbeaten in 2014, adding a victory over the two-time defending NBA champions to their recent wins over Oklahoma City and Golden State.
James had 36 points, seven rebounds and five assists for the Heat, but fouled out on an offensive foul with 36 seconds left in the first overtime and the Heat trailing by two.
Miami pushed it to a second overtime without him, but it was all Nets from there against a Heat team that was already missing Dwyane Wade and two other starters.
ATLANTA (AP) — Kyle Korver scored 20 points, including four free throws in the final 16 seconds, and Atlanta fought off Houston's late comeback.
Paul Millsap also had 20 points for the Hawks, who earned their second straight impressive home win following a victory over Indiana on Wednesday night.
James Harden led the Rockets with 25 points. Dwight Howard had 15 points and 11 rebounds.
Houston rallied from an eight-point deficit with 11 straight points to lead 76-73 before Korver's 3-pointer tied the game. Following a basket by Harden, DeMarre Carroll's 3-pointer gave Atlanta a 79-78 lead. The Hawks didn't trail again.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Josh Smith had 22 points in an outstanding all-around game, Brandon Jennings made four 3-pointers in the second half and Detroit snapped a six-game losing streak with a comeback victory over Philadelphia.
Five other players scored in double figures for the Pistons, who averaged just 88.8 points during their skid. Jennings had 18 of his 19 points in the second half. Kyle Singler and Will Bynum each had 16 off the bench.
Thaddeus Young scored 22 points for the Sixers, who have lost three straight after reeling off four consecutive road wins.
Detroit outrebounded the Sixers 62-42, tying the arena record for offensive rebounds with 25.
The 76ers said Smith became the third player in NBA history with 22 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and four steals in a game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The other two were Hakeem Olajuwon and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who did it twice.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Nikola Pekovic scored 26 points in 27 minutes and Minnesota blew off some steam by beating Charlotte.
Kevin Love had 19 points and 14 rebounds, Kevin Martin added 19 points and Minnesota's bench had 20 points before Charlotte's reserves even got on the board late in the second quarter.
Anthony Tolliver scored 21 for the Bobcats, who have lost seven of eight.
The Timberwolves lost 104-103 to Phoenix on Wednesday and fell to 0-10 in games decided by four points or fewer. The tension carried into the locker room where Love, recently critical of a particularly paltry output by the reserves, ripped J.J. Barea and Dante Cunningham for their disinterested body language at the end of the bench.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Dirk Nowitzki scored 24 points, Monta Ellis added 23 and Dallas sent short-handed New Orleans to its fourth straight loss.
Vince Carter added 14 points and Jae Crowder 12 for Dallas, which never trailed. The Mavericks led by as many as 23 points in the third quarter over a Pelicans squad minus starting point guard Jrue Holiday and leading scorer Ryan Anderson.
Holiday missed his first game with a stress fracture in his right shin. Anderson went down last week with a herniated disk.
Eric Gordon scored 27 points for New Orleans, while Anthony Davis added 21 points, 13 rebounds and five blocked shots.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — David West scored 20 points and C.J. Watson had 16, leading the Pacers to a win over the Wizards.
Indiana (29-7) used an 11-3 run in the third quarter to create separation from Washington. Two field goals from West capped off the swing, which put the Pacers up 56-40.
Trying for their first four-game win streak on the road since February 2008, the Wizards (16-18) stumbled at the foul line. They finished 9 of 23 on free throws, hitting just five of their first 14.
Washington lost to the Pacers for the 11th time in 12 tries and haven't won at Indiana since April 18, 2007.
Washington was led by Bradley Beal with 17 points.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Mike Conley matched his career high with 31 points, and the Grizzlies used a fourth-quarter burst to overtake the Suns.
Zach Randolph had 20 points and 13 rebounds for Memphis, while Ed Davis had 10 points and a career-high 17 rebounds. The Grizzlies outrebounded the Suns 53-44. Mike Miller finished with 11 points. Randolph tied his season high in assists with seven.
Goran Dragic led the Suns with 21 points and eight assists, connecting on 6 of 10 shots. Markieff Morris came off the Phoenix bench for 17 points.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Carlos Boozer had 19 points and 13 rebounds in his first game back from a right knee injury, Mike Dunleavy Jr. added 18 points and the Bulls beat the Bucks.
Taj Gibson added 12 points at the Bradley Center, where a healthy sprinkling of Bulls fans wearing red celebrated the team's fourth straight win.
They almost watched Chicago waste a 15-point lead. The Bucks opened the fourth quarter with a 7-0 run to get to within three. A long jumper from Ersan Ilyasova (14 points) got the Bucks to 71-70 with 5:42 left.
But the Bulls hung on, even after Boozer missed two foul shots with 3:42 left with his team up by three.
The Bucks missed their final 11 shots.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Kyrie Irving had 25 points and eight assists to lead Cleveland over Utah in Luol Deng's first game with the Cavaliers.
Irving scored 17 points in the third quarter to turn a three-point deficit into a 15-point lead as Cleveland snapped Utah's season-high four-game home winning streak. Deng had 10 points in his Cavs debut.
Tristan Thompson had 18 points and 15 rebounds, while C.J. Miles and Dion Waiters each scored 17 to help the Cavaliers win their first road game since Dec. 13 in Orlando.
Playing without leading scorer Gordon Hayward, sidelined by a strained hip, the Jazz were paced by Richard Jefferson's 18 points. Trey Burke had 17 points and six assists, but picked up his fourth foul in the third quarter right before Irving sparked Cleveland's key surge.

Life in Christian County,
Kentucky... More About Trees and Plants...
These are the wildflowers of September that I'm seeing on the roadsides right now. The yellow flower is goldenrod, and the purple flower is (I think) ironweed. Goldenrod is Kentucky's state flower. Many people claim that they are allergic to it, but they are more likely allergic to ragweed which blooms at the same time.

(UNDATED) - Cycling for Survivors Foundation, Inc., is made up of active and retired police officers, law enforcement survivors, law enforcement family members and friends of law enforcement riding their bicycles around the perimeter of Indiana to raise money and awareness about the sacrifices made by Hoosier law enforcement families across Indiana.
Funds raised from this event are used to aid surviving family members and co-workers of officers killed in the line-of-duty.
Previously raised funds have been directly donated to the Indiana Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors (COPS), National COPS, Illinois COPS, The Unity Tour and Project Blue Light.
The cyclists began their ride this year on July 8 in Indianapolis. On Tuesday the ride entered the Jasper District as the riders travel east on State Road 64 from Princeton to Huntingburg.
To see the route the cyclists will follow, please visit their website: www.copscycling4survivors.org/route.html
Additional information on specific locations of meals and overnights can be found by clicking on the Calendar tab of the website.
This year the cyclists are recognizing the sacrifices made by Lake County Corrections Officer Britney Meux and Indiana Department of Corrections Officer Timothy Betts.
Corrections Officer Meux was killed instantly when struck while on a training run around the perimeter of the Lake County Jail. Three co-workers were also injured in the hit and run crash. She was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and had served with the Lake County Sheriff's Department for three years. Officer Meux is survived by her daughter, mother, father, and four sisters.
Correctional Officer Betts suffered a heart attack while escorting an unruly prisoner to the segregation unit at Wabash Valley Correctional Facility. Officer Betts had served with the Indiana Department of Correction for 15 years. He is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren.
Cops Cycling for Survivors Foundation, Incorporated was granted 501(c) 3 status as a not-for-profit in late 2011, and the inaugural 13 day tour around Indiana took place in July of 2012. However, the spirit of this ride began many years before. In 2001 a group of police officers decided to support survivors by riding their bicycles from Indianapolis, Indiana to Washington, D.C. to honor officers who had been killed in the line of duty and to support their survivors.
The ride has gone through many changes over the years, but one thing has remained constant...the cyclists' dedication to honoring fallen law enforcement heroes and supporting their survivors left behind.
Two people who were integral to the success of Cops Cycling were Lt. Gary Dudley of the Indiana State Police and Retired Chief Gary Martin of the Lake County Police Department. Lt. Dudley took the organizational and emotional lead and kept the wheels rolling after the first two years riding to Washington, D.C. Wanting to do more to support survivors on a local level, Gary brought the ride home to Indiana.
On August 22, 2006, Lt. Dudley and Chief Martin were both killed during the ride when a large box truck struck the rear of the support truck, pushing the support truck into the cyclists.
Several of the cyclists who had participated in the ride for many years and were cycling the day of the crash determined to keep Lt. Dudley and Chief Martin's memories and motivation alive.
Those memories and motivation have developed into what the ride is today, Lt. Dudley's vision and legacy in supporting law enforcement survivors. To date, the cycling event has raised over $300,000 for In Concerns of Police Survivors.
For more information on the ride please visit the Cops Cycling for Survivors Foundation web-site at: http://www.copscycling4survivors.org/ or Rich Crawford, President of Cops Cycling for Survivors Foundation, Inc. at 317-650-8961.

I haven't been programming for very long, but I've been interested in learning to do it for quite a long time, since I was quite small. I'm now 19 and just barely starting down the path of getting a degree in Computer Science at my local Community College. I didn't exactly have the easiest time first trying to learn how to code, however.
Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of knowing someone while I was growing up who could explain what all the mysterious brackets and function calls meant or what a class was and why they were the greatest things since sliced bread. There were many times that I would pick up a how-to book or download an IDE off the internet only to give up an hour later after being thrown a flurry of archaic syntax errors because I didn't know the difference between '=' and '==' or why some statements needed a semicolon and others simply didn't (in fact, even after learning the basics of C++ recently, I still don't entirely get the purpose behind it). Now, this only applies to the languages I even got to the stage of being able to compile; there were some IDEs that I couldn't even get past the setup with because they were built on the assumption that you actually knew the difference between an IDE and the compiler associated with it.
It was several years ago that I discovered a musty old tome by the name of "QBasic Programming for Dummies" at my local library. I was intrigued, but didn't hold out very high hopes that the magical language held within its pages would be any less forbidding. But, as I flipped through the examples, lo and behold, everything appeared to be written as if it was meant to be understood by a mere mortal. I didn't see pages full of esoteric characters and single-letter variables or variables with names so deformed in an attempt to abbreviate them that you'd never guess what they stood for, let alone what they did (my early experience has made me detest code that does either of these). None of the basic functions required so much as an #Include (a gigantic source of headaches for me in other languages previous) and all of the available variable operators are right there on your numpad. There were no classes. None of the examples so much as pretended polymorphism existed. The later examples weren't trying to shove "advanced language features" down my throat (I found a lot of Visual Basic tutorials guilty of this during a brief stint with it); the advanced examples were really just more complicated combinations of the basic language features. For the first time ever, I could actually read each program line by line and know what effect each statement would have. This was before I even tried installing the disk located in the back of the book.
(I hear they actually recommended simple languages like this to beginners back in the day. Who would've thought.)
When I finally got home clutching my new treasure, my excitement was palpable. I wanted to create better versions of all my favorite games, and a trove of ones I had thought up myself. Then, after loading the CD and struggling for what felt like an eternity, I realized the book was written in 1994. It had been over a decade since QBasic's day in the limelight, and the software was hopelessly outdated; it didn't even get through the installation without crashing. Dejected, I mentally threw QBasic in with the laundry list of other failed attempts and figured I was never going to be able to just "pick up" a programming language by myself.
It was perhaps a year and a half ago that I discovered, almost entirely by accident, a programming language called FreeBASIC. I don't entirely remember how I stumbled upon it, but I do remember the part of the description about it being a successor to QBasic catching my eye. In short order, I was able to install the compiler and hook it up to a no-frills IDE that amounted to a text editor with a Compile button and syntax highlighting. After finding and re-reading QBasic for Dummies, I was actually writing working code again! And this time, a large portion of it was code I wrote myself rather than copy-and-pasted examples from somewhere else. After learning almost all of the commands in the book (there aren't many), it became almost a game trying to figure out which puzzle pieces I needed to make the code do what I wanted. Instead of looking for API Command #5341 (an exaggeration, but some other languages' commands tend to lose their uniqueness and individuality when there's so many, especially for a beginner who has nobody to explain the intricacies of each one to) I had to puzzle out what combination of the couple-dozen commands at my disposal would do the job.
I remember the very first subroutine I ever wrote was a crude but fully working text parser, simply because I couldn't figure out how to read two separate commands from the player in a simple text-based adventure game I wrote. When I got tired of typing in every command, I decided I would learn how to use the mouse functions included in the graphics library. All it provided me with was the X,Y coordinates and status of the mouse buttons, so I jumbled together enough code to define a couple UI buttons and figure out which one was being clicked. It worked fine when those were the only buttons in the game, but as soon as you tried to add different screens with different buttons, the amount of If-Thens spiraled out of control. So I strugged for a few weeks and eventually settled on a hierarchy system of screens with dedicated member-buttons, just so I could make a menu system for a clone of Pokemon. FreeBASIC even includes a very basic implementation of Object Oriented Programming, which I learned to use out of convenience after doing it the hard way, and not just because a dozen people told me it was "better".
Coming from this background, Java almost seems scary. Almost all the low-level things I had to figure out myself are now handled by some input listener or a narrow class with a mountain of specialized methods. Especially annoying is the type-sensitivity of Java. To me, 'while', 'While', and 'WHILE' all mean the same thing, but not to Java. The thing that's probably going to be hardest for me to wrap my head around is how Java abstracts away some of the busywork I've become used to; it feels uncomfortable not having to explicitly check each component for visibility and draw them to a graphics buffer.
Anyway, enough with my sob story; now look at what I've done. I started out introducing myself and now I've written a ramble that would make an 80-year old grandfather telling his grandchildren about the "good old days" proud. Now I'm off to post the question I intended to an hour ago, and probably find out I've been doing things backwards all along.

Rockin' with Rockwell rocks Opera House
Volunteers from the McPherson area helped stage "Rockin' with Rockwell" Saturday at the McPherson Opera House.
The show celebrated the 1950s through song and the paintings of iconic American painter Norman Rockwell.
Living portrayals of Rockwell's paintings were tied together through a radio interview between Rockwell and broadcasting legend Edward R. Murrow.
Kyle Banman portrayed Rockwell, and Joe Johnston portrayed Murrow.
Not only was the show a delight for the McPherson audience, but the event raised funds for Hereditary Neurological Disease Centre of Wichita.
Congratulations to the cast and crew for a job well done.
Voters support McPherson sales tax
McPherson residents passed an important half- cent sales tax during the primary election Tuesday.
The sales tax will replace the tax that has been used to renovate the McPherson Opera House.
It will be used to repair First Street, renovate the Community Building, and improve sidewalks, biking and walking trails in the city.
These three projects are all crucial to the quality of life and future growth of the city.
We applaud the McPherson voters for their dedication to the future success of our community.
Former Mac resident donates to KU
Lydia Beebe and Chuck Doyle of San Francisco recently made a $1 million gift to the KU School of Law.
Beebe, who earned her law degree from KU, grew up in McPherson.
Of their gift, $455,000 established the Beebe/Doyle Family Scholarship, and $45,000 will be used for classroom renovation. A $500,000 gift commitment will enhance their scholarship fund.
We congratulate Beebe on her success and honor her for her generous philanthropy to a great state school.
Property taxes stay steady
for 2013
The three main taxing bodies in McPherson County have been able to hold the line on property taxes for their 2013 budgets. The city passed a .004 mill levy decrease. The county is proposing a 1.64 mill increase, and McPherson shools are proposing a 0.023 mills decrease.
Although the county is proposing a slight increase in the mill levy, the county has been able to prevent layoffs and cuts to programs.
In tough economic times our public officials are doing their best to do the most with what they have. Our checkbooks thank you.
Moundridge passes sales tax
Moundridge also passed a sales tax during the McPherson primary.
The one-cent sales tax will be used to lower property tax, purchase street and utility equipment and repair streets.
As Moundridge works to bring more residents to its community, keeping a check on property tax and maintaining infrastructure will both be important.
Moundridge voters have made a positive decision for their community.

K & O blocks city streets
The K & O Railroad was acquitted of charges that one of its trains blocked McPherson streets for too long.
The prosecution was unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt K & O owned the train that was ticketed.
K & O missed the point. By fighting the fine, K & O took the focus off of the real issue, which is trains blocking streets for prolonged periods of time.
Blocking city streets is not only an annoyance to McPherson residents, it is a safety concern. Blocked streets can mean emergency personnel may not be able to take the quickest and most direct route to emergencies.
This case was a just a symptom of a greater problem K & O needs to address.

Generous sponsors of the 2014 JE James and Derbyshire Times Flagg Cycle Challenge for Ashgate Hospice have donated a bike which is being raffled to boost this year's fundraising drive.
The third annual DT Flagg Cycle Challenge hopes to attract up to 200 riders and raise thousands of pounds for the Chesterfield-based hospice.
JE James, on Brimington Road North, has provided a Specialised bike as a prize and will be launching its sale of raffle tickets during its CycleFest event on May 17 and 18, at the Norfolk Arms, on Ringinglow Road, Sheffield, where fliers and entry forms for the summer's Flagg Challenge will also be available.
Derbyshire Times editor Graeme Huston said: "This is such an exciting year with the Tour de France coming to the region that its great to see everyone getting into cycling and there is nothing better than targeting CycleFest in the spring and a charity ride like the Flagg Challenge in the summer to get everyone motivated."
The 2014 Flagg Cycle Challenge which sets off from the hospice at 9am on Sunday, July 27, takes in lovely views, testing climbs and superb landmarks including Chatsworth House.
Sponsored riders can take on a 25 mile leisure ride or pit themselves against the much more challenging 55-miler.
Both events set off from the hospice with the longer route going to Baslow and Ashford-in-the-Water, taking on a steep climb at Sheldon and rolling out over Flagg, Birchover, Stanton-in-the-Peak and Chatsworth.
Ashgate Hospice fundraising chief Emily Evans said: "We've raised thousands of pounds and enjoyed miles of fun with this event. It doubled in popularity last year and we're hoping to get even more people on board this time.
"Volunteer marshals are a very important part of the day and they are essential for the safety of our riders and we'd love to hear from anyone interested in helping out. If entrants have family who would also like to help we'd love to hear from them too."
Entrants receive sponsor forms and a map. Entry costs £20 and those interested can register via email@example.com, or can contact Emily Evans on 01246 568801, or DT's Jon Cooper at email@example.com and on 01246 504524. Volunteer marshals are also urged to call Emily and Jon.
Cyclists of all abilities are also invited to JE James' Cycle Fest celebrations as Tour de France fever grips the region.
The event is being held from the gateway to the Peak District at The Norfolk Arms pub on Ringinglow Road, Sheffield, on May 17 and 18, with demonstrations and organised Peak District road and mountain bike rides.
To book riding slots from a choice of times email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01709 361919.
A JE James spokesman said: "CycleFest is going to be a great chance for cycling enthusiasts to demo amazing road and mountain bikes as well as having the chance to ride great trails and routes in the Peak District. The JE James CycleFest is all about getting involved so bring your bike and help us celebrate cycling."

Last Sunday, police responded to a call that a group of Amish youths were drinking on the side of a country road. When the police arrived, one of the buggies fled and crashed into a cop car. Four youths were arrested, but not for drunk buggy driving.
Instead, the Chautauqua County authorities charged the four Amish youths with illegal alcohol possession as apparently there is no law providing for drunk driving a horse-drawn buggy.
The buggy that hit the cop car flipped on impact, with one occupant suffered light injuries. There is no word on how beat up their horse is.

text: the first time around, i never got that bonding feeling from breastfeeding, but i did feel bonded to my son all the same. but this 2nd time around (my second one is almost 8 weeks), i am getting that bonding feeling from nursing, i think because when i nursed him in those early days/weeks, nursing was the only time i got to hold him on some days (due to visitors holding him for hours!)....and its totally normal in those early weeks to feel like all you do is nurse nurse nurse! sometimes by little guy would want to eat every hour, or sometimes he'd nurse for almost an hour all together......like you i was totally uncomfortable nursing son number one in public, i would go into a changing room at a store, or sit in my car. the second time around, i'll nurse pretty much anywhere (always covered), i've nursed at restaurants, playgrounds, bowling alleys......i'd say if your baby is latching on and feeding well, then you are doing something right! good job!!! hang in there if you can, and it will get easier......at the end of the day though, you have to do what works best for you and your baby. and don't let anyone make you feel guilty about whatever choice you make. good luck!

I do still worry that having every combination of constraints be a new class will become un-usable. So a usage restriction of 3 plus a value vocabulary v. usage restriction of 3 and no stated vocabulary; a restriction of 2 plus that same value vocabulary; a restriction of 5 and vocabulary or no vocabulary -- it gets out of hand pretty easily. (Note: in one system I recall having to limit author names to 99 because there were records that exceeded that!). It's not a matter of whether it CAN be done, but whether doing it this way becomes a hindrance to metadata creation. kc > > > Note that in relation to your last sentence I've used "ontology" for > both the domain vocabulary and the one for AP1.

Two weeks ago, my grandmother passed away - the last grandparent I had left. As those of you with experience in dealing with deceased family members know, the funeral is only the start; the next part is taking care of the deceased's affairs, which includes going through all their belongings to determine what to do with them. I took care of my grandmother's extensive book collection, and while doing so, I hit something that fascinated me to no end: a six-volume Christian Encyclopaedia from 1956. In it, I found something I just had to share with OSNews.
