A few weeks ago I started reviewing the PHoneyC DOM emulation code and realized it was turning to be hard to maintain and debug due to a huge amount of undocumented (and sometimes awful) hacks. For this reason I decided it was time to patch (and sometimes rewrite from scratch) such code. These posts will describe how the new DOM emulation code will work. The patch is not available right now since I'm testing the code but plans exists to commit it in the PHoneyC SVN in the next days.
In this first post we will take a look at the Window object in DOM/Window.py. During object inizialization, the following code is executed.
Let's go into further details. First of all Window object properties are initialized through the __init_properties method.
The code should be straightforward to understand. The idea beyond it is really simple. Simply stated this code allows Python objects' variables and methods to be accessible from JS. Let's move to most interesting stuff. Following the __init_methods method is called.
Not so easy to understand? Let's take a look to the definition of a method.
This is a private class method since its name starts with __. "If you try to call a private method, Python will raise a slightly misleading exception, saying that the method does not exist. Of course it does exist, but it's private, so it's not accessible outside the class. Strictly speaking, private methods are accessible outside their class, just not easily accessible. Nothing in Python is truly private; internally, the names of private methods and attributes are mangled and unmangled on the fly to make them seem inaccessible by their given names." (taken from Dive Into Python).
We can access the __window_back method of the Window class by the name _Window__window_back. This is the black magic __init_methods use for initializing methods. It's quite easy to realize that adding a new method is really easy. All you need is to simply define a method named __window_
<window_method_name> and match the signature of such method. How to emulate such method it's up to you but a simple pass could do the trick.
The last step happens in __finalize_context method.
The most interesting code is in lines 175-179. First of all let's take a look at the DOMObjectFactory code (DOM/ClassFactory.py) which is a genuine Python hack.
After reading Python documentation it should be easy to understand how this code works and how it's able to dynamically add new DOM objects to the context.
type(name, bases, dict)
Return a new type object. This is essentially a dynamic form of the class statement. The name string is the class name and becomes the __name__ attribute; the bases tuple itemizes the base classes and becomes the __bases__ attribute; and the dict dictionary is the namespace containing definitions for class body and becomes the __dict__ attribute. For example, the following two statements create identical type objects:
>>> class X(object):
... a = 1
>>> X = type('X', (object,), dict(a=1))
What about the Window event handlers? They are handled with a different mechanism which can be fully understood just by analyzing how the new DOM emulation code preparses the pages deferring code execution until the last possible moment. I'll analyze such feature in a future post in greater detail. Right now what you have to know is that if the handler for the event
<event> is set, the Window attribute on<
event> is set and contains the handler code. Once you understand it, the following code in DOM/DOM.py used for event handling should be easy to understand.

2/3 of the team was away last week on a much needed vacation. We are now back in the saddle and ready to alleviate an immense pressure on Mr. Timperial.
We want to take a short moment to thank him for holding down the fort and offering some great content on bottle shops in the Seattle area. We got some good comments and emails on the topic and we greatly appreciate the dialogue.
Over the past week, I had to sit victim to an array of 15 identical beers on a cruise ship through the Caribbean. While this type of travel is not personal fave for me, it was a nice relaxing excursion away from the rigors of work. This is especially true for Jessica, the pregnant one of the bunch.
The reason I mention 15 identical beers is because its a rant-worthy topic. A few years back, I took a cruise through the Greek Islands and was met with 2 beer options — Nastro Azzuro (Peroni to most of you) and Franziskaner. Not good. But I read up about Royal Caribbean and found out that they offer as many as 15 beers! Hooray. Must be a few ales in there, eh? Not.
15 types of beer meant 14 lagers and 1 ale that might as well be an amber lager (Bass). 14 lagers includes all major US crap, Heineken, Pilsner Urquell, Peroni, Stella Artois, and a number of other disappointing beers that make me remember my life before good beer. The only savior was an Irish pub on board that poured Newcastle Brown Ale, Murphy's Irish Red and Murphy's Irish Stout. Unfortunately, the stout was out for most of the trip and lets be honest — I don't like the other two very much. Little to no hops and no real flavor. Boring.
Where is the micro? I mean really, not even a Sam Adams? Not that I would be excited about a Sam Adams, but it would be better than what they have. The Irish pub provided about 20 choices — none of them an American Ale.
It seems that one of the larger craft brewers is sitting on a gold mine here. Cruises and airlines have got to begin offering some sort of tasteful beer option. While Alaskan Airlines offers Alaskan Amber — its the lone gun on the market (I believe). A brewery like Alaskan, Boston Beer, Pyramid, or Red Hook has got to make an overture. While I would love to see New Belgium or Dogfish get that contract, its probably too pricey for companies that charge a premium for cheap filth, anyways.
What do you think? Better beer on your next flight or cruise?

Aurora Electric, Jamaica, N.Y., recently came in fifth in Inc magazine's 2002 Inner City 100, an annual ranking of the fastest-growing businesses based in some of America's poorest urban neighborhoods. More than 4,250 companies from 191 cities were nominated for the list.
Nominees were ranked based on the percentage increase in their gross revenues between 1997 and 2001. In that time, Aurora Electric has experienced a whopping 2,055% increase in sales. Last year's sales figures topped $5 million for this nine-year-old company that provides data communication and electrical installation and maintenance.
Aurora's CEO Veronica Rose, who was featured in CEE News' May cover story, "Wiring Women, was quoted extensively in the May issue of Inc. magazine. Noting that potential customers almost always ask her about her personal history, Rose said, "I'm a novelty. I'm 6 ft tall, I have long blonde hair, and I can tell you what size turbine you need."

Marketing and advertising sound very complicated especially to dentists that are more focused on helping patients out. Some people may even think that these two methods are really expensive. Actually they really are expensive if you resort to TV advertisements and other outdoor methods. Plus a lot of companies including dentist clinics are actively using these methods because they continue to work even prior to the Internet. But now that the Internet has gone mainstream, so many Internet marketers are trying to capitalize by utilizing easy and cheap methods to promote their business. Dentists should catch on with this also because not many dentists are actively promoting. Know these easy and cheap ways to boost your dentist business to stay ahead of the competition.
Place your Dentist Business on the Map
Search engines used to be the source of all information, but when it comes to local information and places, map services are available like Google Maps. Putting your business on Google Maps is easy and they allow a free listing along with free updates as well as free insights. There is a pretty comprehensive tutorial presented that teaches you so that your business is searchable and the location is traced.
Classified Ads
You might be thinking that classified ads may not be worth the effort since it limits you to a certain group of people. Actually exposing ads to a certain group of people isn't so bad considering the easy effort that needs to be done. To offset this, you can post multiple ads in multiple advertisement sites to boost effectiveness. For even better performance, you can purchase advertisements for a small fee and get even better exposure. Do this only when you've mastered the basics in advertising. Regardless of the method, most classified ads get index so technically they can search engine traffic as well.
Forum Marketing
Forums are communities where people can exchange ideas on a number of topics depending on the theme of the board. Dentist forums could be rare, but you can also advertise in health forums as long as their rules are not against it. Just register, fill up your small profile and add a link to your website on your signature and you might squeeze in some extra hits.
Video Marketing
Have you ever had this moment where you wanted to make a commercial for your dental business, but couldn't? It is now possible thanks to video marketing because with the help of a webcam, you can record videos of yourself explaining the positive things about your dental clinic. To see is to believe for a lot of people and these people often feel more comfortable reading public content. Even if you don't have videos to upload, you can always create some cool slide shows via online tools with audio in the background to make your business and website more attractive.
Many of these methods are surprisingly free while the others are cheap and exceptional. Try out each of the method and stick to the one you like until you are ready for another category.

EFI Broadens its Packaging Technology Portfolio with the Acquisition of Group Rhapso Printing and Packaging Software Solutions

FREMONT, California -- April 14, 2014 – EFI™ today announced that it has acquired Group Rhapso S.A. ("Rhapso"), a printing and packaging software solutions developer based in Les Ulis, France.
While financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed, it is not expected to be material to EFI's Q2 or full-year 2014 results. Rhapso's employees have joined EFI and will be integrated into EFI's European operations.

We welcome the addition of over 500 customers to our existing customer base which will further establish EFI as the clear leader of MIS and ERP related solutions in Europe and reassert our commitment to the region and to local markets. We believe this is a critical and strategic part of our focused growth strategy," he added.
EFI has continued to invest heavily in the Productivity Software product line, and with this most recent acquisition, is determined to enhance its position as the market leader in end-to-end workflow automation.

A tip-off to the police netted a man committing his fourth offence of drink-driving.
Michael Wilson was more than twice the limit when police stopped his car on East Park Drive on April 10 about 8pm after he left a pub and was swaying.
I can not express to you how close you were to a custodial sentence
Wilson, a 24-year-old groundworker, of Brockholes Crescent, Poulton, pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol without insurance or a licence.
He was sentenced to a 12-month community order with up to 30 days' rehabilitation to be supervised by the Probation Service, put on a 14 weeks curfew from 7pm to 7am, disqualified from driving for 46 months and ordered to pay £85 costs with £85 victims' surcharge by Blackpool magistrates.
Presiding magistrate, Neil Atkinson, told him: "I can not express to you how close you were to a custodial sentence."

Word is leaking that Jack Lew — currently President Obama's Chief of Staff — is going to get the Treasury Secretary nod, a development that's been rumored for weeks.
So let's pause and review how Obama's second term Cabinet is shaping up. There's Sen. John Kerry at State, ex-Sen. Chuck Hagel at Defense, John Brennan at the CIA, Lew at Treasury…
Uh, where are the women at?
Wasn't it the Republicans who were allegedly propagating a "War on Women?" Obama has talked about wanting his Cabinet to reflect America. This Cabinet reflects the demographics of a men's locker room. In Nebraska.
Look for Nancy DeParle — currently the deputy chief of staff — to step in for her old boss Lew. Maybe. Others think she might get big-footed from outside— by men. Regardless, chief-of-staff isn't a Cabinet position.
White House press secretary Jay Carney sort-of addressed this lack of diversity Monday in the way that he sort-of addresses many questions. The fact remains is that Obama is 0-for-4 on the Women-in-the-new-Cabinet Scoreboard.
On to Jay:
Jay, the recent personnel announcements that we've heard have all been men. I'm wondering how important it is to President Obama to have women in prominent roles in his new Cabinet.
MR. CARNEY: Well, I appreciate the question. The President does believe that diversity is very important and he also believes that picking the absolute right person for each job is very important. And the nominees he announced today represent that principle in that he believes Senator Hagel and John Brennan are the right individuals for the jobs to which they have been nominated.
I would remind you that as part of President Obama's national security team we have Secretary Clinton, who, after four years, is leaving office. We have Secretary Napolitano, who continues as Homeland Security Secretary. We have Ambassador Susan Rice, who has indicated that she will be staying on in New York as the U.S. Representative to the United Nations, a Cabinet-level position. And there are obviously other remarkably capable women in positions of high office in this administration and will continue to be.
Q But presumably, I mean, some of them will obviously leave over time, and I'm wondering, in terms of having a replacement, for instance, with Secretary Clinton leaving, do you think that —
MR. CARNEY: Well, I think that any suggestion that Secretary Clinton was chosen because of her gender would be rejected by Secretary Clinton and others. And any suggestion that nominees not be chosen for their qualifications would be rejected by everyone whose interest is in, as the President's is, the very — finding the very best people for each job. And that's what he's done today and that's what he'll continue to do.
And he, in that process, insists on diversity on the lists that he considers for the job because he believes that in casting a broader net, you increase the excellence of the pool of potential nominees for these positions. But in the end, he'll make the choice that he believes is best for the United States. In this case, that would be Secretary Hagel — or Senator Hagel for Secretary of Defense and John Brennan for Director of the CIA.

Straight up: Distillery construction begins in Nelson County
Of course, ââ?¬Ë?stills are nothing new in Nelson County; but a legal one producing the county's first authentic 'Scottish' single malt whiskey might be. This summer, the Virginia Distillery Company will begin construction on the new 24,000 square-foot facility on a 95-acre site at Eades Hollow in Lovingston, complete with authentic Scottish copper stills and mash tuns.
"Our vision is to make the finest malt whisky possible right here in Virginia," says Company Chairman Brian Gray. "To accomplish that we've invested in authentic equipment and brought in experts from the distilling industry."
Indeed, the company has signed on a bona fide Scotsman, whiskey legend Jim McEwan, one of Scotland's most famous small batch malt whiskey makers. Last year, McEwan received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Scottish Whisky Industry, and he has been recognized as Distiller of the Year three times.
"Our plan is to make Eades Hollow into a destination distillery," says Gray. "We're going to conduct tours so that people can watch us turn barley, yeast, and water into Virginia Single Malt Whisky."
Once completed, the distillery will turn 24 tons of malted barley into 1,700 liters of new whiskey every week. Up to six warehouses will hold casks that will age for four years, some batches even longer. The company also plans to build a welcome center, an indoor events center, and a space to hold concerts and other events outside.
Gray says the distillery is scheduled to be completed in early 2011.
In the meantime, you'll find Eades Double Malt Whiskey locally in many of the ABC stores in town. In fact, as part of legislation passed earlier this year, ABC stores can now offer in-store tastings. This Friday, July 9, there will be one at the ABC store at Pantops Shopping Center from 5:30 to 7:30pm. On Saturday, July 10 there's one at Kroger from 12pm to 2pm. And there will also be one at the West Main ABC on Friday, July 16 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm.

In 1876, the Chicago White Stockings become one of eight charter members of the National League led by their president William A. Hulbert, who was also the owner of the Chicago club. A.G. Spalding is the manager when the team plays its first game in the history of the Chicago National League Ball Club that takes place on April 25. Spalding doubles as the pitcher and records the first NL shutout, a 4-0 win over Louisville. The first run in team history is scored by center fielder Paul Hines on a throwing error in the second inning.
The White Stockings go on to win the inaugural National League championship. Using nicknames such as the "White Stockings," "Colts," and Orphans," the team plays in five different locations in the 1800s. The fledgling league thrived, as did the Chicago organization, becoming one of the sport's first dynasties, winning six of the first 11 titles.
There were many players worthy of recognition, but the most enduring fixture from this era is Adrian "Cap" Anson, who set the franchise record for career hits (2,995) and managed the club for 19 years, earning him the nick name "Cap," which was short for captain.
What a decade for Cubs baseball, which is exactly what it was. In 1902, noting the youth movement lead by new manager Frank Selee, a local newspaper penned the nickname Cubs for the first time. The moniker prevailed over time and was officially adopted by the club in 1907. It is currently one of the longest running-and most beloved-alias' in all of sports. The team, after moving around to different parks during the previous century, found a home at the West Side Grounds, their home from 1893-1915.
The organization enjoyed the most successful decade in its history, posting in 1906 all-time major league records for wins in a season (116) and winning percentage (.763) en route to their first pennant of the 20th century. The only all-Chicago World Series was played; the White Sox winning four games to two. Spurned on by this loss, the team, in 1907, wins its second consecutive National League pennant -- by 17 games -- under player-manager Frank Chance.
The Cubs won their first World Series, defeating the Detroit Tigers and Ty Cobb, four games to two. They followed this up the next year by winning their second consecutive World Championship, repeating their World Series victory over Detroit, this time four games to one. In 1908 pitcher Mordecai "Three-Finger" Brown wins 29 games, setting a team record (since 1900) that stands today. He finished the decade with 135 victories, 716 strikeouts and a 1.51 ERA. The double-play combination of Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers and Frank Chance is on its way to baseball immortality, inspiring a "sad lexicon" written by Franklin Pierce, a writer with the New York Times:
"These are the saddest of possible words ... Tinker to Evers to Chance ... A trio of bear Cubs and fleeter than birds ... Tinker to Evers to Chance ... Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble ... Making a Giant hit into a double ... Words that are weighty with nothing but trouble ... Tinker to Evers to Chance."
The team began this decade much like they concluded the previous one - by winning. The Cubs win their fourth National League pennant in five seasons. Despite wining 104 games and capturing the flag by 13 games, they lose the 1910 World Series to the Philadelphia A's, four games to one. During this time period the team would finish in the top three in six of the years and appeared in two World Series - in 1910 and 1918 - losing both times. In 1916, after the rival Federal League had folded, the former owner from the upstart league, Charles Weeghman, purchased the Cubs and immediately moved them into the park that he had built in 1914 for his now defunct organization. The edifice at the corner of Clark and Addison St. was then known as Weeghman Park houses the current team under the name Wrigley Field. It is the second oldest ballpark in the major leagues, behind Boston's Fenway Park. On a sad note, Albert Goodwill Spalding, who had been so instrumental in getting the Chicago National League Ball Club, and baseball in general off the ground, died on Sept. 9, 1915.
In 1920, Weeghman Park becomes known as Cubs Park, after chewing gum magnet William Wrigley buys out the remainder of Charles Weeghman's share of the club. The park would undergo yet another name change in 1926 when it becomes Wrigley Field. That same year, plans are revealed to add a second tier to The Friendly Confines, which increases capacity to 40,000. In 1929, under Hall-of-Fame manager Joe McCarthy, the Cubs win the National League pennant by more than 10 games. Nearly 1.5 million people pack Wrigley Field to marvel at the hitting exploits of future Hall of Famers Rogers Hornsby (the year's NL MVP), Hack Wilson, Gabby Hartnett and Kiki Cuyler. Despite all of the firepower, the Cubs lose the World Series to the Philadelphia A's, four games to one. During the decade, Wilson and Grover Alexander lead the team at the plate and on the mound. Wilson finished the period with 121 home runs and 517 RBIs while the right-hander Alexander lead with 110 Ws and a 3.02 ERA.
In 1930, outfielder Hack Wilson puts together one of the greatest hitting seasons in baseball history, pounding 56 homers and driving in 191 runs-a mark has never been bettered in Major League Baseball. On June 27, the largest crowd ever to see a game at Wrigley Field - 51,556 - is on hand as the Cubs play the Brooklyn Dodgers. But paid attendance is only 19,748, due to the Ladies Day promotion.
In 1932, Manager Charlie Grimm leads the Cubs to the National League pennant, the team's second in four years. Cub pitcher Lon Warneke posts a 22-6 record. The Cubs face the vaunted New York Yankees in the World Series - a series marked by Babe Ruth's mythical "called shot" during the 5th inning of Game 3 at Wrigley Field. The Yankees sweep the Cubs, four games to none.
This same year, former owner Charles Weeghman and owner William Wrigley pass away, leaving the organization to Wrigley's son, Philip Knight. P.K. then began remodeling the park to fit his vision of a backyard family playground. He hired Bill Veeck, who, in 1937, plants the now-famous ivy on the outfield wall.
That same year, the bleachers are constructed and a new scoreboard is installed, both of which have remained virtually untouched over the years. In 1938, one of the most dramatic moments in team history occurs when catcher Gabby Hartnett hits the legendary "Homer in the Gloamin'" at Wrigley Field. Hartnett's round-tripper off Pittsburgh's Mace Brown gives the Cubs their third NL pennant of the decade. Hartnett replaces Charlie Grimm as manager during the season, and lead the Cubs to the 1938 World Series against the New York Yankees, where the Cubs are swept four games to none. For the decade, Hartnett slugged 777 RBI, Riggs Stephenson hit .329 and Lon Warneke posted a 2.85 ERA.
Instead of becoming one of the first teams to install lights, the Cubs went on to become one of the last when, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, P.K. Wrigley donates the lighting equipment that he had recently purchased to the War Department in 1941. The team's final World Series appearance of the 20th century occurred in 1945, the last World War II-affected season. The team lost the Fall Classic to Detroit in heartbreaking fashion, four games to three. In 1947, Jackie Robinson made his major-league debut. When the Dodgers came to town in the middle of May, with Robinson at first base, the stands were packed with the largest single-game attendance at Wrigley Field ever-46,572.
With the country in the middle of the Cold War, the Cubs as a team are in the middle of a frigid decade. After experiencing success for the majority of their existence, the Cubs finish the 50s without a postseason appearance, the first decade of a drought that would last until 1984. Individual team members found success of their own. In 1952, outfielder Hank Sauer wins the NL Most Valuable Player award after he hit a major league leading 37 home runs and 121 RBI. In 1955, Sam Jones becomes the first Cubs pitcher to throw a no-hitter in nearly 40 seasons, blanking Pittsburgh 4-0 on May 12 at Wrigley Field. And in 1959 Ernie Banks becomes the first National Leaguer to win the MVP trophy in back-to-back seasons. The previous year he hit .313, 47 homers and 129 RBI, while '59 saw him go .304 with 45 home runs and a major-league leading 143 RBI.
Sport imitated life in the 60s. A period mostly remembered for rebelling against the norm and untimely deaths of promising young leaders could describe the nation's or the organization's history during this time. In 1960 owner P.K. Wrigley experimented with manager position, implementing a "College of Coaches." The system was meant to be a blending of ideas from several individuals instead of the traditional one skipper ended without success five years later when Leo "The Lip" Durocher took the helm. 1961 brought more individual success as future Hall-of-Famer Billy Williams is voted the National League Rookie of the Year. The next year the name of his teammate Ken Hubbs was engraved on the trophy. The promising young second baseman played a record 78 games without an error during his freshman campaign and was the first rookie to win a Gold Glove Award. His life was cut short two years later when the plane that he was piloting crashed into an icy Utah lake. 1969 began the disdain that most Cubs fans feel for the Mets. The Wrigley faithful shatter The Friendly Confines attendance records, as Ron Santo, Billy Williams and Fergie Jenkins lead the Cubs to one of their most memorable seasons. A tremendous late-season pennant drive by the Mets left the Cubs in second place, despite a 92-win season. For the decade, Fergie Jenkins leads the squad on the mound with 917 Ks and a 2.95 ERA while Ron Santo drove in 937 runs and Ernie Banks hit 269 homers.
During the 1970s, the Cubs saw many of their greats ride off into the sunset. Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks retires from the game in 1971 with 512 home runs. Three years later he and his familiar greeting of, "Let's play two!" are inducted into the Hall of Fame. Billy Williams, who in 1971 becomes the first player in NL history to play in 1,000 consecutive games, is traded to Oakland on October 23, 1974. Ron Santo, who personified the hot corner for the second half of the century-even long after he retired from the game-is traded to the White Sox in 1973. Fireballer Fergie Jenkins is shuttled off to the Texas Rangers. In return the Cubs received two infielders, one of which was Bill Madlock. Names synonymous with Cubs baseball-Charlie Root, Gabby Hartnett, Stan Hack and owner Philip Knight Wrigley all passed away in this decade, with the reins of the team being passed to Wrigley's only son, William.
Ch-ch-changes are in store for the Cubs in the 1980s in regards to ownership, postseason play and the park. In 1981 the Wrigley family ends their 65-year ownership of the team when William Wrigley sells the team to the Tribune Company for $20.5 million.
In 1982, Fergie Jenkins -- having been picked up as a free agent the previous November -- becomes the seventh player in baseball history to hurl a record 3,000 strikeouts. That season Ernie Banks becomes the first Cub to have his number retire. The fabled No. 14 now flies from the left-field foul pole at Wrigley Field while Billy Williams' No. 26-retired in 1987-flies from the right-field pole.
In 1984, the organization wins their first NL Eastern Division championship, and return to post-season play for the first time since 1945. Under manager Jim Frey, the Cubs post a 96 and 65 record, breaking the 2 million-attendance mark. Second baseman Ryne Sandberg wins the NL Most Valuable Player award. Acquired in mid-June, pitcher Rick Sutcliffe went 16-1 with the Cubs to win the NL Cy Young award. After winning the first two games at Wrigley Field, the Cubs lost the N. L. championship series to the San Diego Padres, three games to two. In 1987, outfielder Andre Dawson wins the NL Most Valuable Player award after hitting 49 home runs and driving in 143 runs.
On August 8, 1988, in a contest against the Phillies, the Cubs play their first night game in Wrigley Field history on August 8. The night debut was rained out after 3 1/2 innings, and the first official night game occurred the next night, when the Cubs defeated the New York Mets, 6-4. After the season, the North Siders announce plans for $14 million renovation of park, including construction of 67 mezzanine suites and a new press box.
The team wins their second NL Eastern Division championship in 1989. Led by manager Don Zimmer, the Cubs enjoyed All-Star seasons from Sandberg, Dawson, Sutcliffe along with relief pitcher Mitch Williams, and Rookie-of-the-Year performance by outfielder Jerome Walton. The San Francisco Giants defeated the Cubs in the 1989 NLCS, four games to one.
Home runs, strikeouts and the passing of two legendary voices of the Cubs are the items of note from this decade. In 1990, Ryne Sandberg leads the NL with 40 home runs, the third-highest total ever for a second baseman. Sandberg also established a major-league record by playing errorless ball for 123 straight games. Cub pitcher Greg Maddux wins the NL Cy Young award in 1992, after posting a 20-and-11 record.
The next season, Randy Myers sets an NL record with 53 saves. Setting the stage for greater things to come, in 1993 Sammy Sosa becomes the first player in Cubs history to post a "30/30" season, finishing the year with 33 homers and 36 steals. He duplicates the milestone the next full season and along the way, hits the organization's 10,000th home run. Also in 1995, the club wins the 9,000th game in franchise history. The Cubs have won more games than any other one-city professional sports franchise.
1997 brings the end of an era when Sandberg announces his retirement, effective at the end of the season. His 277 home runs hit by a second basemen is a major-league record. 1998 saw a return to the postseason. In the first-ever tiebreaker for a wild-card spot, Steve Trachsel takes a no-hitter into the seventh inning and leads the Cubs to a 5-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Sosa slugs 66 home runs and captured the NL MVP, as he battles St. Louis Cardinals' slugger Mark McGwire in a home run race that captivated the nation. Sosa becomes only the fourth player ever to hit more than 60 home runs in a year, as his 66 were the second most in major-league history to McGwire's 70. Kerry Wood, in just his fifth major-league start, strikes out 20 Astros in the complete-game victory, tying a major-league record for most strikeouts in a game. Wood became just the fourth Cubs player--and the club's first pitcher - to earn Rookie of the Year honors. Wood goes 13-6 with 233 strikeouts and a 3.40 ERA for the Cubs in his first 26 major-league starts.
While the team could not repeat the previous season's glory, Sosa, in 1999, becomes the first player in major-league history to reach the 60-homer mark twice. Mark Grace becomes the first Cubs during the 1900s to lead a decade in hits. The first baseman also was the 1990s doubles leader and finished 2nd in singles behind the Padres Tony Gwynn. Coming off the Wild Card season, the club establishes single-year marks for home, road and total attendance. Sadly, the Cubs also experience the loss of two Hall-of-Fame broadcasters, Harry Caray and Jack Brickhouse, both in 1998.
The new millennium began as a tale of two seasons. In 2000, the team finished with a 65-97 record and established a club record when 51 players appeared in at least one game -- breaking the old mark of 49, set in 1966. The club also said goodbye to Mark Grace, who was a fixture at first base for the North Siders for 13 seasons. There were also many moments to celebrate, such as when Eric Young became the first Cub since the first season of Chicago National League baseball to steal five bases in a single game.

If you picture Rio de Janeiro as a person, the beach of Ipanema would be the body's strong tanned legs. Vibrant Lapa would be the swaying hips and above that would be the vital organs. Santa Teresa is the artistic heart of the city, packed with galleries and street art. This is the place to immerse yourself in Rio's art scene.
In the 18th century, Rio de Janeiro's wealthy population sought refuge on the beautiful green hillside of Santa Teresa. Even today, the neighbourhood features many stately colonial villas and mansions. Santa Teresa offers two major tourist attractions: the Escadaria Selarón, a long stone stairway that has been covered in colourful glazed tiles by Chilean artist Jorge Selarón and the elegant Convento de Santa Teresa. But that is not why Rio locals flock to this hill on weekends. Cariocas come here primarily to have a good time.

"If you build it, they will come" seems to be Lumberton's motto as of late. In addition to new commercial and residential construction, there are a few notable multi-million dollar projects popping up in the city.
Beyond Lumberdome
Thanks to a FEMA Texas Safe Shelter Initiative grant received by Lumberton Independent School District and the city of Lumberton in 2011, Daniels Building & Construction is in the process of erecting an approximately $5.8 million FEMA-compliant dome on Highway 69 between Lumberton High School and Lumberton Intermediate School.
The disaster-resistant, steel-reinforced thin-shell concrete dome will be 25,447 square feet and will be able to withstand 200 mph winds, according to Fran Cole, project director and federal programs coordinator at Lumberton ISD.
"FEMA developed a $50 million project to build safe rooms in the counties that bordered the Texas Gulf Coast," Cole said. "Because Lumberton does have an edge along the (Neches) river line, we were eligible for one of these safe rooms."
Cole said the dome would be used for a command center for city and county officials during emergency situations or disasters such as a hurricane for not only Hardin County, but possibly for Jefferson and Orange counties, as well. It consists of two sections — a safe shelter and a fine arts facility, which can be utilized by the school district on an everyday basis for educational purposes.
According to ABC Domes, the company that developed the structure, the new Fine Arts Center, designed by Cutright & Allen Architects Inc. of La Grange, will be utilized as a 1,500-seat fine arts/ auditorium/convention center and will also function as a FEMA-compliant safe room with capacity for 1,133. The dome could also be rented out for weddings, banquets and other events, providing revenue for the city, Cole said.
Walk in the park
Residents of Lumberton will have a new place to play on Highway 421 — the Lumberton City Park. According to Lumberton City Manager Steve Clark, the 90-acre area was purchased by the city in 2008 for around $534,000. Including development and other costs, the city has around $1.6 million invested in the project.
The park is in the early stages of development, said Lumberton City Councilmember and Chamber of Commerce President Andy Kelley, with only a 1-mile road for cyclists and joggers, but future plans include hike and bike trails, nature observation stations, a wetlands area, sand volleyball courts, multipurpose playing fields, and even a disc golf course.
"There are tons and tons of people that show up for disc golf course tournaments," Kelley said. "Not only does it give one more aspect at the park for good, wholesome entertainment, but another good aspect is, once we have that in, we could host a tournament out there, and that benefits the whole city. We fill up our hotels, our restaurants and our other merchants are benefiting from that."
While there are extensive plans for the park's future, Kelley said that it is always important to start with the basics.
"We got the road completed in April and have started construction of bathrooms," he said. "We wanted to get a good bathroom for the people walking and jogging, located centrally for the playground and for the people that are using the picnic facilities."
In addition to the playground equipment, which Kelley said would probably need to be expanded because there are so many people using it, the park also features seven covered picnic structures located next to the playground that allows family members an opportunity to relax while watching the children play. All structures contain barbecue grills as well, Kelley said.
The park was also the site of the annual Village Creek Festival last April, which prior to 2013 was held on the Lumberton Middle School grounds on Highway 96.
"It gives us so much more room for parking, so much more room for rides and for future growth," Kelley said. "All in all, it was the best festival that we have ever had. The vendors were happy with it. I talked to several vendors who said that they've had the best year that they've ever had out there."
The city is also planning to have an approximately 25-acre lake dug at the park, which Clark said would be dug at no cost to the city by a gentleman who has agreed to do the work in exchange for the dirt.
"Our anticipation is to build a pier out on it and stock it where kids can go out and fish with their parents and just relax and have a good time out there," Kelley said.
General hospital
Lack of healthcare facilities might be a reason some may deciding not to move to Lumberton or Hardin County, but soon this will no longer be a factor. Altus Health Care Management Services began construction on a new $10 million-plus 24/7 ER center in September 2012 and plans to have the two-story, 40,000-square-foot facility ready to receive patients by December 2013.
Initially, the hospital, located at 137 N. LHS Drive, will only have four beds for patients but will offer most of the same services offered at other hospitals, according to Kevin Herrington, regional executive vice president at Altus.
"Our initial focus is going to be ER care," he said. "The community can feel well assured that when they come to this facility, they will be treated and stabilized just as they would at the ERs in Beaumont. We'll have around 40 employees total, including board-certified physicians, ER trained staff, nurses, X-ray technicians, cardiovascular technicians, and laboratory technicians. Anything that happens at a hospital ER can be handled here."
According to Herrington, Altus will be able to handle the most common emergency care situations including the occasional baby that decides he or she doesn't want to wait through the 15-mile trip to Beaumont to be delivered.
"We don't want people to come here (to deliver) unless it is an emergency," he said. "But if they can't make it to the hospital, they can come here. We'll actually have an incubator here that can transport the baby to Baptist (Hospital)."
Herrington said that any patient whose situation requires a specialist or surgery would also be transferred to Memorial Hermann Baptist Hospital in Beaumont.
Other features will include an 18-wheeler-powered generator that will be able to supply the whole building during power outages, a triage room, a pediatrics room, an ultrasound room, a kitchen, a nurses' station, and there will be an additional 10,000 square feet available for expansion, according to Herrington.
"Our goal is to have very customer-focused service," he said. "At other ERs, you will wait hours for care. Here, our model is more of a VIP atmosphere … very one-on-one care."
The SETMA Clinic, which will be approximately 10,000 square feet of space rented by Southeast Texas Medical Associates in the same building as the Altus hospital, will be able to serve around 200 patients a day and will offer the same services as SETMA's other locations in the Golden Triangle, according to Dr. James Holly, CEO of SETMA.
"We think it's going to be the most exciting thing in healthcare in Hardin County ever," Holly said. "We will have specialists there part time and can treat anything that any family physicians, nurse practitioners, or cardiologists can treat."
Holly added that SETMA's database is linked together so if, for instance, someone who is a regular patient at one of the other SETMA clinics needs to go to the doctor in Lumberton, their records would be available to physicians at the clinic.
Holly said it only made sense for SETMA to expand north to Hardin County.
"If you look at demographics, it's a large draw," Holly said. "Lumberton is a natural hub to the entire area. All areas in Hardin County have underserved people that have to drive long distances to receive care that they need."
Holly said SETMA looks forward to serving the Lumberton and Hardin County communities.
"It's a wonderful time to be in healthcare," he said. "It's a great place to live and work, and we are looking forward to it."
SETMA plans to open the clinic to patients beginning in January 2014, Holly said.
Future so bright …
These projects are only a few of many projects planned for the future, according to Lumberton city officials and businesspeople. Clark said while he has heard some Lumberton residents complain that Lumberton, which now has a population of more than 13,000, is not the town it used to be, he is excited about the future. Kelley echoes his sentiment.
"The growth is continuing to come to Lumberton," Kelley said. "As we see this growth continue, we'll make the plans we need to make those growing pains as minimal as possible, and I just see continued growth and prosperity for everyone in the city of Lumberton."

It's important for the EU to work with non-state entities and take into account the viewpoints of civil society, so that its policies are relevant to the people who are affected. We're at a point where NGOs, international organizations and individuals want a piece of the decision-making process.
When the unrest in North Africa reached a boiling point in early 2011, it pushed migrants to the shores of the European Union (EU) in attempt to flee the violence. "People move, and many of them need to move for humanitarian reasons," says Emek Uçarer, professor of international relations. "Migration has economic, environmental and political implications. Many recipient states want to curb large influxes, but must also keep in mind legitimate human rights concerns."
For nearly two decades, Uçarer has been keeping an eye on the EU's efforts with regard to immigration and asylum policy. In her research, she examines under what conditions states and non-state actors, such as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), intergovernmental organizations and individuals, can have meaningful input with regard to EU policy.
"NGOs have been trying to influence EU policy-making by developing alternative drafts of EU legislation, proposing amendments during ongoing conversations and advocating for the protection of the human rights of migrants," she says. For example, Brussels-based NGOs tried hard to steer the language of the 2008 EU directive on the return of undocumented migrants to protect those who would be expelled from a country.
"The NGO's pushed for the inclusion of language that would address what happens, for example, to migrants who are underage and unaccompanied," she says. "It's important for the EU to work with non-state entities and take into account the viewpoints of civil society, so that its policies are better informed and relevant to the people who are affected. We're at a point where NGOs, international organizations and individuals want a piece of the decision-making process."
To determine the relevant actors and understand how they fit together with the EU to solve problems, Uçarer is conducting field research in Brussels. "I'm interviewing people involved in policy development - civil servants, members of the European Parliament and NGO representatives, who are trying to lobby the EU to get their preferences considered," she says.
"There are more than 190 million migrants worldwide -- if this were the population of a country, it would be the fifth most populous in the world" says Uçarer. "The study of the causes and consequences of mobility of people will be a lasting field in the study of international relations."

The new Walgreens at Charlotte Highway and Jim Wilson Road in Indian Land opened July 16.
Employees were busy putting the finishing touches on the new drugstore last week.
The Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce unveiled its newest business directory magazine Thursday at the Lancaster County Administration Building.
It features a photo of the Lancaster County Courthouse on the cover and contains information for newcomers to the county, as well as a comprehensive business directory.
The magazine contains a feature story on efforts to rebuild the courthouse, and there are smaller spotlights on education, health care and recreation in the county.
Two ALDI supermarkets are in development for Lancaster County.
Katherine Davis, spokeswoman for ALDI, said the discount supermarket chain is moving forward with two new locations in the county, one in Lancaster and the other in Indian Land.
"I've talked with the real estate director for where these stores are located and things are moving ahead," Davis said.
The Lancaster store is under construction on 2.5 acres of land at Old Charlotte Highway and North Park Drive.
Rickey Lackey is thrilled to have a local one-stop shop to take care of his farming and supplies needs.
The Lancaster County resident said he's often had to shop online or go out of town to get what he wanted – whether it was tools for a building project or feed for livestock.
Well, one company has now made things a lot easier for him.
Students with the SWEET PEAS mentoring program recently undertook an initiative that aimed to bring joy to local hospitalized children.
SWEET PEAS, which consists of area seventh-grade girls, applied for and received a grant from Young People in Charge to buy toys for children admitted to Springs Memorial Hospital.
Young People in Charge and SWEET PEAS are both part of the Children's Council, a non-profit organization that provides various programs and services for Lancaster County youth.
About 20 girls participate in SWEET PEAS.
The third Lancaster Street Market of 2009 is slated for July 4 and will include a special attraction.
Steve Koss of Koss Motorsports will be sponsoring his highly popular car show for visitors to enjoy.
"We are so excited to have Steve involved again with his great car show. His group joined us for the December street market and they were very popular," said Carrie Miller, event coordinator for See Lancaster. "We feel this will be well received again during the holiday weekend."
Lancaster will soon be getting "the stuff it needs out here."
Tractor Supply Co., the largest retail farm and ranch supply store chain in the country, is opening its 19th South Carolina store in Lancaster. The chain is known for its slogan, "The stuff you need out here."
Work began on the former Sweet Union Furniture store building next to Bi-Lo at 593 S.C. 9 Bypass East on April 20, though signs announcing the chain was moving in have been up for months around the store.
INDIAN LAND – After months of construction, the new Lowe's in Indian Land opened for business last week.
Located at U.S. 521 and S.C. 160, the store held a "soft" opening May 20, when customers were allowed to shop for the first time.
The store will celebrate its formal grand opening Thursday, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m., followed by an open house.
Rick Nichols, a manager at the store, said the soft opening attracted some customers who were intrigued by the new store.
Advertising representatives at The Lancaster News brought home a slew of awards from the recent S.C. Press Association's annual Palmy Awards.
The awards ceremony was held May 15 at the Sheraton Hotel in Columbia. The Lancaster News won 19 awards, plus the prestigious Paul League Award for Best Overall Advertising in the weekly division. The Lancaster News competes in the 12,001 to 35,000 weekly circulation division.
The sparks fly at Bob Doster's metal-working shop in East Gay Street as a computerized torch cuts out the shape of a stainless-steel angel oak tree.
Doster, 60, sketches out a design, then uses the torch to cut out the shape. The piece is then shined up and welded onto a base.
That's the process for the smaller pieces, such as the palmetto trees, Rocky Shoals spider lilies, angel oaks and various Christmas ornaments that Doster is known for.

Good morning. The northeastern United States remains on track for a major blizzard this afternoon and evening.
Here's a look at the current radar, which shows the storm moving north, and a rain-into-snow transition occurring as the storm moves into New York.
There are two reasons to think (hope may be the better word) the storm won't be quite as significant for parts of the Northeast.
For one, several models now bring the storm on a slightly more easterly track, which would keep some of the storm's heaviest snowfall offshore. One of the models with the most aggressively eastward track is the Global Forecast System. The image below shows accumulated precipitation (in inches, in liquid) for the next five days.
Now 2 inches of rain is still significant snowfall — about 20 inches — but as you can see the very heavy amounts of snowfall are along a corridor to the east of land.
Other models, such as the European forecast model, are still following a more westward track, and this remains entirely possible if not likely. Under this scenario, portrayed below, in excess of 2 feet of snow should still falls across parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Another reason for southern areas of the affected region, including New York City, to feel slightly better about this storm is that the initial precipitation from it will be coming in liquid form this morning. As the New York City National Weather Service suggested this morning, that could knock as much as six inches of snow accumulation in parts of the city.
With that said, this remains a severe storm, and its effects this afternoon, evening and tonight will be substantial. Find somewhere safe to hunker down beginning this afternoon.

A practical grocery getter it is not.
Welcome to Morning Would, where we present you with some of the most desirable, controversial cars ever built and ask what you would do to drive one.
It has a V12 and plaid seats for two. It's already accomplished two of the three points of the star on the front (land and air, if you want to test sea that's on you). It's big, fast, and certainly makes a statement. It's not, however, for driving everyday. Don't look for a rear window, ground clearance, or a door opening big enough for any semblance of grace when entering or exiting the cramped cockpit.
Would you take the "driven not hidden" mantra to the extreme and drive the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR everyday? Coupe or Roadster, you get to decide.
Do you have the time (and patience when navigating speed bumps) to take this beast out to breath everyday? We want to see what you've got to say about this in the comments.

I have been researching Giles Holt for 13 years now. He enslaved my ancestor, Malinda Holt. I was reading a blog post by my genea-buddies Luckie and Sandra about how long you should research an enslaved ancestor. I'd had this thought many times about Malinda Holt. I concluded about a year ago that I may never find out where and how Giles acquired her. There's simply a limit to the written records, and at some point, accepting this and being happy about what I had discovered seemed the right thing to do. I am in the late 1700s, early 1800s, and for many locales (unless you're lucky enough to be in one of the original colonies) that's the end of the road for written records.
We can find so much about our ancestors through probate and land records, tax records and court records, and many others. But the reality is that because slaves were considered personal property, they could also be purchased with no surviving record of their purchase. Perhaps there's an entry in a slave trader's logbook (a logbook that is no longer extant). Perhaps they were purchased at a slave auction, with no surviving record. The nature of slavery was so colossal and tragic. That feeling never escapes my mind for long.
There's always the possibility that some clerk searching in a dusty courthouse closet will uncover a trove of unprocessed records, or some person's passing will result in their family papers being donated to a university archives. Or, that sometime in the future, records closed to the public now will become open. Barring that (which I'll always hold out hope for) I can be proud of the job I've done fleshing out Giles' very complicated life and part of Malinda's. I thought I'd share some of the things I discovered about Giles, and in particular what documents helped me in those discoveries.
Giles was born ca. 1790 in Amelia County, VA to Jesse and Mary Holt. At some point in the early 1800s he migrated to Smith County, TN, a popular migration route for the times. Tennessee was still considered "frontierland" and many sons wanted to head south/west and start their own fortunes. Giles was married by 1820, with a large family in Smith County, and still there in 1830. By 1840, he had moved further westward to Hardin County, TN, where he died in 1876. Giles served in the Union army, at odds with many of his sons who served in the Confederacy. He had between 11-15 children.
Because of the spareness of data census records during this timeframe, it was county level records that provided critical details about Giles' life.
Early on in my research, descendants of the slaveowner provided me the info about his migration and possible parents (who knows how long that would have taken me to find out?) I had to gather the evidence, though, which took years. The hardest part when talking about migration is proving that the Giles Holt in Amelia County, VA is in fact the same Giles Holt in Smith and Hardin County, TN. A power of attorney, recorded in a deed book, helped tie my Giles' to both his mother and the VA roots. Chancery court and probate records also helped greatly. We need to always be conscious of not assuming identity just because the person has the same name & age. I wrote up a Proof Summary on this dilemma, which helps to organize your analysis as well as the evidence you've gathered.
The other problem was the fact that there are other Holt families living near the Giles Holt family both in VA and TN. Deconflicting families is important to show that you are tracking the correct people. I had to show and prove that the families were in fact separate lines. Chancery court records, probate records and tax records helped me to do this. When another Giles Holt appears on the 1820 US census of the same age and family makeup, but living in Connecticut, I had to prove it was not my Giles Holt. I did that because I could show who his parents were (different) and when he died (different).
During this time, my Giles Holt married at least 4 times, divorcing at least once, possibly twice. The wives were difficult to figure–his first wife is never directly named in any document. I had to prove her existence using indirect evidence. None of his marriages had surviving records. However, I uncovered a premarital agreement and a divorce and criminal complaint (along with post 1850 censuses) that helped sort them out.
Several bills of sale listing slaves in 1843 and 1845 were important pieces in identifying Giles' ownership of my ancestor. Malinda is not living far from Giles in 1870, and she died in 1881. I proudly (and unexpectedly) located her headstone in the local cemetery.
It is obvious to me that the critical period for Giles' acquiring slaves was his time as a young man in Smith County, TN while he was presumably growing his large family. He moved there with one slave (whom he later sold along with her 4 children), and by 1840 when he moved to Hardin County, he had 10 slaves. Unfortunately, Smith County, TN is one of those counties with many missing records. If there was once thing I really needed to go back on Malinda, it would be more available records in this locality during the early 1800s.
It' s been quite a journey and I'm working on a lengthy article on Giles Holt to submit to the genealogy journal in Hardin County, TN. I always wanted to find a picture of him, and it doesn't seem as though one exists. Although I may never find anything documenting how Giles came to own Malinda, I do find solace in the knowledge that I've gone this far and brought back the voice and at least some of the details of an enslaved ancestor. I think Malinda would be proud;)
