LeBron James Throws Password-Protected Party At NYC's The Darby!
Senior Entertainment Reporter
The Miami Heat star hired private chefs, bartenders, and even a marching band!
LeBron James knows how to party! HollywoodLife.com can tell you EXCLUSIVELY that the 26-year-old NBA star rented out NYC's swanky The Darby Restaurant on Oct. 13 and Jay-Z, Gayle King and Warner Music CEO Lyor Cohen were there livin' it up. You'll never believe what password A-listers had to say at the door!
A source tells us that the password was "Maverick" — isn't that so cool! We're assuming it's because his manager's name is Maverick Carter — or maybe because they lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA finals?
"The event was super secret," our source says. "Only the biggest of names knew about it."
— Chloe Melas

There's been a bit of talk on here as to where in Cambodia the pit stop is. I stumbled across filming of the race while in Phnom Penh, and hung out at the pit stop for 3 hours, watching all of the action. The pit stop is at Wat Phnom, which is the founding place of Phnom Penh. Sorry, no pictures to back this up, as it was a 'locked site'. We were told to put our equipment away or it'd be confiscated.
We were there on 3 August. I think it was something like 11am in the morning (Estonia time). We were facing the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral with The Toompea Castle behind us. Then we saw the two guys rush out from a park on our right and shouted: "Taxi!". There were no taxi around so they started going uphill to our left. We then saw the crewmen behind them as they went past us and then uphill. That's when I took out my video camera and started shooting. I think they really were racing. I just went to google map, the place where I saw them is called "Lossi Plats" and they ran towards north on "Toom-Koli".We did not see any other team.
No, we did not follow Herb and Nat and heard nothing about them, so we have no idea where they went.In my opinion, I think Herb and Nat were moving slowly due to the massive backpack they were carrying... but I could be wrong. I think the park they came out of could be a stop or something. Sorry I am not familiar with TAR terminology. I followed a few previous, earlier seasons and enjoyed them but I am not a big fan like you are.For your information, the weather that morning was cloudy but it improved a lot in the afternoon. So if you see any other pics or videos that day of a sunny Tallinn with blue skies then it is an afternoon shot.
Is there anything else y'all want to know?
QuoteIs there anything else y'all want to know? Can he get the exact time from his video file time stamp?
I did not set the time on my video so there is no time stamp. But I checked our photos and the last photo we took before we saw them was 10:56am. I think we saw them a minute or two later.

It almost ruined me
On Monday night, I had time for a swim, which felt glorious. But the rest of the week would consist of my trying to sneak in short runs here and there and realizing I absolutely couldn't run anymore (this meant I actually ate during our luch breaks - yikes!). Normally I can run again without too much trouble two days after a marathon. But most of the marathons I run are on trails, so maybe this was an explanation for why my recovery wasn't going so well. But it was as if I had started some processes in my body; I figured my days of running pregnant were over.
My "runs" were like this:
- start running
- after 2 minutes the first contraction would come
- shortly after the first contraction, my bowels would send me an urgent message, sending me behind dumpsters, trees, you name it, 3-4 times on a 20 minute "run", which was in reality 10 minutes of walking, 5 minutes of hiding and 5 minutes of running.
By Wednesday, I decided there was no point in pushing it and I analyzed my legs, which were huge and swollen with fluid. I finally admitted to myself that it was even uncomfortable to walk. My legs were so heavy. Is this what pregnancy feels like for women who don't exercise, I wondered. Or is this simply my own fault because I ran a marathon so late in pregnancy?
The scale was not my friend either and told me I had gained almost 1.5 kgs since the marathon! Depression. AND our poor kids! Neither SR nor I made it home for dinner any of the nights last week and I had to drop of Christian every day at day care so early that he was still sleeping.
I started drinking diet soda to induce premature labor. Okay, not really. But I started thinking - I can't make it to 40 weeks!!!
To make matters worse, the pocket of cellulite on my right upper thigh, which I monitor at least once daily had returned (it had disappeared after our trip to Mallorca).
But the week of terrors came to an end. It was another longish day Friday, but then I went to a pulse/core class Saturday morning while The Lorax played with cars and hand weights beside me and I felt so fresh and happy. And then SR and I ran for another two hours with The Lorax in the baby jogger. And I could run again! And the swelling was almost gone.
Today I did a bike, swim, run and felt amazing. What a relief! I'm not fast at anything, but I am happy again. And the 1.5 extra kgs are gone. And, as odd as it sounds, the pocket of cellulite is gone again, too. And now just one week until maternity leave begins (which I've chosen to work part time during due to pressures with my PhD - but life will at least be more manageable for a while!). Imagine that SR deals with those kind of hours with his transportation every week! As do perhaps some of the readers of this blog - I feel for you!!!
Sorry if this post sounds trite and superficial - but you do want honesty, right??
Running song of the day: Circuital by My Morning Jacket
Biking song of the day: Desert Island by Architecture in Helsinki
Music I like imagining The Lorax will write some day: Stay the Night by James Blunt (doesn't every mom want their son to grow up and write brilliant, happy melodies?). I can't help loving JB despite kinda lame lyrics.

Yikes! You must have REALLY needed a few days off running (and probably off work, too - so the crazy schedule didn't help). No shame in listening to your body when it's screaming at you like that. Great that you're feeling better!
- 29 May 2011 at 18:56
Did you seriously joke about inducing premature labor? Disgusting.
- 29 May 2011 at 20:04
- mmmonyka said...
I am glad that the not so great week is over and you are feeling good again. Not every week can be awesome, right?
- 30 May 2011 at 01:07
- cherelli said...
It's kind of good that you had your days full so you weren't able to push too hard and recognise how much more recovery your body needs at the moment...and it's great that your body came around by the end of the week...keep tuning in to your body, I love your journey so far! (oh and I think Anonymous needs to take a chill pill as plenty of mums joke about wanting their pregnancy to be over once it starts getting uncomfortable, runners or not).
- 30 May 2011 at 04:07
- sea legs girl said...
Ha. Yeah, Cherelli - I think a chill pill is in order here, too. Anon - well, now, you know I am at the point where the baby would survive and be healthy if it were born today. But despite that, I'd of course prefer that it remain in there baking until, you know, say 38 weeks. 38-39 weeks seems just perfect for mom and baby. If you want my honest opinion. 31-32 weeks will give you a baby with increased chance of asthma and ADD. Of course I don't WISH for an unealthy baby in any way. Did I seriously just have to spell that out?
Tough crowd...
- 30 May 2011 at 06:36
- sea legs girl said...
One more thing, Anon. It was also a joke about what I have discussed before - that there has appeared a misconception that diet soda increases the risk of premature birth and I discussed why the study that showed that was flawed. So, yeah, drinking diet soda wouldn't induce premature labor anyway (at least according to me).
In fact, what would? Interesting topic. Ha. If something worked, tons of women would be trying it the later along they were. Not that you wanted my opinion, but I wouldn't even be "induced" at 42 weeks. All of this should happen as naturally as possible.

- Karen said...
I'm glad you're feeling better after a couple bad days. I would go nuts wondering what happened. Glad you're recovered enough to get back out there.
Horray for maternity leave!! That leaves more time for running, right?
- 30 May 2011 at 07:22
- Diana said...
Oh, eek! Sounds like a rather uncomfortable week. I agree that it sounds like your body just needed more time to recover from your marathon. Glad that your leave starts soon and you'll have more time to relax. Don't forget to listen to your body--sometimes all it needs is a little rest.
P.S. I had a Diet Coke on Saturday. I hope I'll be all right! ;)
- 30 May 2011 at 08:50
As you adress the aspect of fluid retention after a marathon I would like to ask you if you are also eperience this when not pregnant. I exercise pretty intensily (running but also heavy weight lifting, kettlebells, circuits etc.) and I have realized that the more intense my routine gets the more the scale goes up (and no, it is not new msucle, I have strength trained for so long now that I am beyond the point where I expect myself to put on some more - I do not have the genetics for this). It is sometimes scary as I also watch my diet and know that I do not eat more calories...When I stop/reduce the intensity (due to sickness or regeneration) I lose up to 5 pounds in 2-3 weeks. I think it is mostly water...Do you (or any of the exercising ladies who use to comment here) experience this as well? I feel it correlates more to intensity than to volume...
Great that the swelling went down! Might be also due to the summer pregnancy...Cnsider support stockings those helped me when I was pregnant - no swelling whatsoevr in the very warm May/June 2009!
- 30 May 2011 at 11:04
- sea legs girl said...
Iris- great question and oh boy, DO I have experience with it! When I ran the Trans Alpine race in 2009, I accumulated pitting edem that went up to my hips. It was terrible. If I remember correctly, I had over 3kgs of extra fluid, which I was able to pee away the week following the race. I am really not sure if it is how intense the workout it or how long, but I guess I think it is the overall stress of it on the muscles.
I DID wear compression socks, by the way, and I think they help quite a bit with pregnancy-related swelling. A lot of my swelling seemed to come about 2 days later and I had such a busy week that I couldn't locate the socks until Saturday, but they almost certainly would have helped the fluid go away faster.

- sea legs girl said...
Diana - do you think it is too late to pump your stomach to get that Diet Pepsi out? ;)
- 30 May 2011 at 15:43
- sea legs girl said...
Iris- I meant I wore the compression socks to the Copenhagen Marathon, not to the Trans-Alpine. In retrospect it would have been good to have them at the Trans-Alpine! Think I laughed at the people who wore them. Some things you just have to try for yourself, I guess.
- 30 May 2011 at 15:45
What a crazy week! I'm so glad that you're feeling better now.
I have to say, based on my survey of one, that I found that with marathon training through the first 10 weeks of pregnancy my body was extra sensitive and gained water weight like crazy after all my runs 15-20 miles long. It would go down after a few days but it scared me every time and sent me all over the internet where I determined that it's pretty normal to retain water and have your weight go up after intense training and events. I will try to remember that for next time. Glad you are back to normal in that area as well - you're getting so close! :-)
- 30 May 2011 at 16:18
- Kate said...
it doesn't sound trite or superficial to me - everyone's allowed to have a bad week, even if it's always on a relative scale, right?
I have so totally been slacking in the exercise department lately. You'd die if you were me, I know. (Figuratively, of course.) Thanks for the inspiration.
And yeah, my legs feel huge, heavy and rub together at the thighs: SEXY! : P

Bruno Frey: the story that keeps giving
As was rumored for some time, the University of Zurich decided not to renew the two-year contract he was entitled to as an eminent retiree. There no official announcement, but it was reported by Olaf Storbeck, then by the Tages Anzeiger, a local newspaper. In the latter, Frey's wife, Margit Osterloh, defends his behavior and confirms that "he will continue working in Warwick", so he has indeed been told to leave the University of Zurich.
This firing then explains the bizarre behavior of Bruno Frey in the preceding days. Indeed, he appeared unusually incoherent in a television show, then wrote an outrageous piece in the same Tages Anzeiger newspaper calling for the defunding of his department (which actually got a major gift that was probably waiting for his departure). His reasoning is that the professors try too hard to publish their research, neglecting working with the media. He also mentions his research is essentially the only relevant one. Never mind that his employer tried very hard to protect him, gave a special status to his students who were exempt from exams, and now that was simply to possible to go on, the university did its best to let the situation quietly disappear to avoid embarrassing him. He answers with a slash-and-burn tactic.
That said, I also got a copy of the report commissioned by the University and looking into his self-plagiarism on the Titanic studies. As mentioned earlier, there is nothing about the many previous cases. View a pdf copy here.
So Bruno Frey will now continue his activities at the University of Warwick, which has a long tradition of hiring prominent retirees to boost its academic ranking. He joined in early 2011, that is right before the Titanic case came up, and early enough to qualify for the next research assessment exercise of the UK universities. But for the University of Warwick to keep any credibility, it ought now to take position on the Bruno Frey case, now that it is his sole employer.
Finally, as the story keep going on, I created a tag just for Bruno Frey.

Thanks so much for all your work in righting the ethics in our profession. If the associations are asleep at the wheel and the universities do not dare to intervene, we need people like you to name and shame the black sheep.

WTF? What about all the other papers?

Yes, especially when it comes from someone who is a serial offender, condemned it and claims moral high ground. He also repeatedly violated the submission conditions of journals, which state that the articles should be original research not published elsewhere.

This is shocking. I can't believe that Warwick would keep him, even for the RAE. I am a Warwick alum and I think if word got out among other Warwick alums, they would take action. This is so egregious.

Last night, R&B star and altercation aficionado Chris Brown punched fellow musician Frank Ocean in a fight over a parking space. This may have been the most typically LA altercation in the city's history.
The AP reports that Chris Brown, who we know for beating Rihanna and terrorizing Lamborghinis, was involved in a six-person brawl in the West Hollywood parking lot of a recording studio. The fight started over a parking space, which "allegedly led to Chris Brown punching the victim."
The 'victim' was none other than Frank Ocean, who we know for lionizing affordable classic cars and having a voice like an angel. Ocean tweeted that Chris Brown had jumped him in the lot.
TMZ reports that Ocean was called the victim only because he stuck around long enough to talk to the police, while Brown left the scene. Sources close to Brown, states TMZ, alleged that Ocean started the fight by blocking Brown from leaving the parking.
It is unknown if either party will press charges.

For four years now, most Dutch Internet users have had zero legal access to The Pirate Bay. (Other countries have since followed the Dutch example.) According to a new "working paper," researchers have confirmed what most ISPs and Internet users figured out a long time ago: such bans are pretty pointless.
Survey data of over 2,000 Netherlands-based Internet users shows that only a tiny portion have changed their ways as a result of the official ban.
"Overall, between 4 to 6 percent of all consumers have decreased their downloading as a result of the blocking, whereas for 94 to 96 percent of the population the blocking has had no effect on their behavior," the researchers wrote.
In short, those who were downloading illegally before have likely either found legal alternatives, are downloading through other channels (cyberlockers and the like), or have figured out how to use a VPN or another tool to circumvent the ban.
The team, which included academics from Tilburg University and the University of Amsterdam, concluded:
The fact that the consumer surveys observe less downloading decreases compared to consumers' initial expectations, and the BitTorrent monitoring observing a decrease in market share of the ISPs affected by the first ruling that weakens over time, indicates that the market has returned towards the earlier equilibrium, with only very small structural effects. This is in line with a tendency found in the literature that the effect of legal action against file sharing often has an immediate effect which tends to fade out after a period of typically six months, as illegal supply and demand find other places to meet.
The Pirate Bay doesn't appear to be going anywhere—its founders have openly flaunted law enforcement actions, and the site recently celebrated its 10th anniversary.

TV tonight: 'Good Wife,' Homeland,' 'Bridegroom'
What's worth watching, and what might not be, in prime time.
The Good Wife
CBS, Sunday, 9 ET/PT
There is, hands down, no more satisfying series on the air at the moment than The Good Wife, which hits a seasonal peak with this climactic episode that creates a new law firm out of the possible ruins of the old one. The episode soars along on well-timed twists and ever-escalating tension, laced as always with moments of unexpected humor. What's most praise-worthy, aside from the terrific performances, is the way the show captures not just both sides of the split, but the ability of people on either side to convince themselves they're in the right. What you're seeing is a great drama at the top of its game, and it's a joy to behold.

So let's see: Most everything we've seen up to now was just a trick, thought up by Carrie and Saul to lure out the CIA bomber. OK, fine. I'm willing to buy the preposterousness of it all, largely because watching Carrie pull off a long-con promises to be more enjoyable than watching her bounce between incarceration and treason. But take note: the show only gets one get-out-of-jail-free card a season.
OWN, Sunday, 10 ET/PT
This award-winning documentary from Designing Women's Linda Bloodworth-Thomason tells the story of Shane Bitney Crone, who was barred from his partner Tom's funeral by Tom's homophobic family. The film is based on Crone's viral YouTube video It Could Happen to You. (Also available on Netflix Sunday.)

Paul George directly questioned the officials following Indiana's 102-90 loss to Miami in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, suggesting that the Heat's free-throw disparity was the reason they won the game.
"You can't tell me we don't attack the basket as much as they attack the basket," George said. "You can't tell me we're not aggressive. Maybe we're too aggressive. We're just as aggressive as they are attacking the basket and making plays at the rim. Maybe this was just home cooking."
Game 4 was played at Miami's American Airlines Arena, where the Heat are now 7-0 during the postseason.
Even though Indiana couldn't contain LeBron James (32 points, 10 rebounds and five assists) or Chris Bosh (25 points and six rebounds), it was George's opinion that the refereeing crew of Dan Crawford, James Capers and Marc Davis had a major hand in the game's outcome.
"Looking at the stat sheet we outplayed them," George said. "You have to give them credit, they won this game at the free throw line. They really just were able to get to the line more than we were. I thought we outplayed them tonight.
"It's just demoralizing when a game is lopsided. I'm sorry to say, but that was the case, again. How rare is it we shoot 50 percent, turn the ball over around 13 or so times, out-rebound a team and lose a ball game? ... They made 30 free throws. That put them over the edge."
Indiana was called for 27 fouls that led to 34 Miami free throw attempts. Miami was called for 17 fouls that led to 17 Indiana free throw attempts. The Heat outscored the Pacers 30-11 at the line, setting a new season-high for their most made free throws in a game.
James, as you might expect, came to a different conclusion when he reviewed the boxscore.
"We did only have five turnovers, seven steals and 20 points off their turnovers," he said. "That has nothing to do with the free throw line."
Unlike his All-Star forward, Pacers coach Frank Vogel took a no-excuses approach in explaining his team's defeat, giving full credit to his opponents.
"We got outplayed by the Heat," Vogel said. "They're the best offensive team in the NBA. That's the biggest reason [we've struggled defensively]. They've got great weapons. They're very difficult to guard."
It's possible that George's comments could draw a fine from the league office. Nets coach Jason Kidd and Clippers coach Doc Rivers were each fined $25,000 for criticizing the officials during the 2014 playoffs.

Sorry for the big delay in getting part 2 of the tutorial up here. The next part will be a lot quicker I assure you.
Welcome to the second part of the tutorial on how to make a basic webmail system with PHP and MySQL. Just to recap here is the list of all the features that the finished e-mail system will have:
- Retrieve e-mails from a specified e-mail account
- Show all the mailboxes for the account
- Retrieve and save e-mail attachments
- Save all e-mails to a database for security
- Have a preview screen below the e-mail listings
- Compose e-mail function
- The ability to delete, reply and forward messages
This follows on from part one click here if you have not already seen it. So far in this tutorial series I have covered the server and the database setup for the programme.
Tutorial Part 2 - Basic Classes
In this tutorial I am going to get down into the basics of any good system, the basic classes that will control the whole programme. In this part I am only going to cover the database class, as even though it is not the best way to do it, the code to connect to the e-mail server will be created into a page and tested, and then I will explain how to turn it all into a class.
Step 1: It is a good idea to have the file architecture setup before we start, below is the way that I would organise it. This is in addition to the folders in the previous tutorial.
As we go through the tutorials we will be adding files to all those folders.
Step 2: Create a file called database.class.php in classes/database and copy the code below into it and save. I will explain it all in detail after the complete code.
Important note: not all the code below is using the new php functions like built in iterations of mysqli and preprepared statements. This database code has been written to be easy to read and understand feel free to update it to include the above features
<?php // The database class which will be used in this system class database{ // Setup global class variables var $connection; var $querys; var $error; // The on init function which will connect to the database // Passes in all required login information to increase compatibility // All information must be base64_encoded and put into the script for security reasons function database($server,$user,$password,$database){ $this->connection = mysqli_connect(base64_decode($server),base64_decode($user),base64_decode($password),base64_decode($database)); } // The query function - this will only return a 1 or 0 function query($q){ $this->querys = mysqli_query($this->connection,$q); if(!mysqli_error($this->connection)){ return 1; }else{ $this->error = mysqli_error($this->connection); return 0; } } // The num rows function returns the number of rows returned by the query function nrows(){ return mysqli_num_rows($this->querys); } // This result function - returns an array with all the results function results(){ // Array varliable $res = ""; // Check to see if there is at least 1 result if($this->nrows() >= 1){ // Counter $i = 0; while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($this->querys)){ $res[$i] = $row; $i++; } // return array return $res; }else{ // return nothing return ""; } } // The close connection function - closes mysqli connection and resets all variables function close(){ mysqli_close($this->connection); $this->connection = ""; $this->querys = ""; $this->error = ""; } // END OF CLASS } ?>
As I am sure you appreciate this is a long script but will make the whole job easier and will speed up the whole application. In this tutorial I am going to be using the latest in MySQL code mysqli which is widely accepted. I am not going to go into detail about this class as there are a lot of database tutorials already on DIC.
Webmail Template
In order to keep things tidy in the file structure we are going to put the template in a template folder called Template. Remember all images should have Template/ at the beginning of the src to ensure they are displayed. On the next part of the tutorial we will be creating a template parsing system which will parse all the shortcodes used in the template.
Step One: All the shortcodes we will need:
{folders}, {message}, {from}, {subject},{bcc},{cc},{attachments},{date} and {messagelist}
All the other features like reply etc will be in the template itself. We also need a message list page which contains one row as a template for the list. So that page would have shortcodes: {subject}, {from} and {date}
Here is our folder structure
I am only going to use basic html tables to make this tutorial simple you can use div's and css of course if you wish.
  <title>Webmail</title>

 {folders}
 {messagelist}

 From: 	 {from}

 CC: 	 {CC}

 BCC: 	 {BCC}

 Date: 	 {date}

 Attachments: 	 {attachments}

 {message}

 {subject}	 {from}	 {date}

That is all the templates we need for the basic webmail system. As we get further into development we will add more templates for writing e-mails, replying to e-mails etc. So in the next tutorial coming in the next week or so we will start writing the e-mail class which will allow us to check the e-mail using pop/imap connections.
Until next time.

The Cleveland Indians have announced the list of players selected to the Indians Top 100 Greatest Indians roster. The Indians (with the assistance of a panel of veteran baseball writers and historians) have assembled a roster comprised of the Top 100 Greatest Indians. The Top 100 Greatest Indians roster is comprised of athletes whose sheer presence, ability, achievements, and in some cases, simply their intrinsic popularity established them as being special.
Luis Tiant, the son and namesake of a legendary Negro League pitcher, put together a 75-64 record with 12 saves and a 2.84 ERA for some -- how do you put this politely -- ordinary Indians teams. Inside those numbers were a couple of Cy Young-caliber seasons, particularly the 1968 season. Full story >
Set club homer mark for season (50, 1995). Four-time All-Star (1993-96) averaged 39 HR and 119 RBI in last six years with club. Hit career-high .357 in '94. Led AL in HRs (50) and doubles (52) in '95. Led AL in RBI in '93, '95 and '96.
Three-time All-Star (1959, '65, '66) with Tribe. Hit 190 homers in 913 games for club and 374 in career (1955-68). With Tribe, led AL in slugging (.620) in 1958; homers (42) in 1959; RBI (108) in 1965, and walks (93) and fielding (1.000) in 1966.
Hall of Famer (266-162) had three no-hitters, 12 one-hitters and 44 shutouts. Eight-time All-Star holds club records for wins (266), strikeouts (2,581), innings (3,827) and walks (1,764) despite missing 3.5 years due to World War II. His #19 is retired.
Hall of Famer, seven-time All-Star and seven-time 20-game winner had one no-hitter, 31 shutouts and went 207-128 with 22 saves in 460 games. Went 2-0 in '48 World Series. Converted infielder also hit 37 career homers. His #21 is retired.
Hall of Famer won 1972 Cy Young Award, going 24-16 with 1.92 ERA. Had a save in only relief outing in 41 games (342.2 innings) in '72. A two-time All-Star with Indians, going 70-57 with a 2.51 ERA in midst of a 22-year career (314-265, 3.11 ERA).
Began 19-year career (1964-82) by going 75-64 with 12 saves and 2.84 ERA with Indians. Best year was 1968, when he started All-Star Game and went 21-7 with AL-leading 1.60 ERA, allowing just 152 hits in 258.1 innings and fanning 264.

Revision as of 09:52, 27 February 2017
Currently, content being uploaded for archival storage is in a specific organization (specified here: Share_Drive_Protocols).
Once this content is placed into the /srv/deposits/content/ directory on libcontent (a Linux server), we :
- verify that it copied correctly across the network,
- check the content with quality control verification scripts (such as File:TestIncoming.txt)
- upload the collection information file content into the database to provide access to the online collection via a web-side php script, and
- then we archive it.
Archiving it means that we weed out extraneous files, re-order content (via copy) according to our storage organization (specified here: Organization_of_completed_content_for_long-term_storage), version the metadata, xml, or text files (linking into the manifest only the version; the updated one overwrites the unversioned copy in the directory) and either create a LOCKSS manifest for this content or alter existing ones to include this content.
We have different versions of the archiving script (Relocating) for Electronic Theses and Dissertations (in the bornDigital subdirectory), and then for all the rest of our content ("relocating" in /srv/scripts/storing/). They will soon be combined.
- Before archiving, run findMissing. /home/ds/scripts
The Archiving Scripts are located in /srv/scripts/storing/
findMissing locates which items and pages have NO metadata and locates which metadata has no derivatives and watches for item-level content that also has pages, and outputs error messages for these.
1) First, look through the deposits directory for any odd file organization or oddly named or missing content. Correct if found. (Check all admin folders for logs and xmls, check each collection number for the correct directories etc.)
2) Run 'testDeposits' to look for things you might have missed. If errors are found, correct them before proceeding.
3) Next, run "waitCheck" which checks for:
- EADs in /srv/deposits/EADs/new/, and compares these to see if the EAD has changed from the last version cached. If not, it is deleted. If so, it creates a collection directory (if necessary) in /srv/deposits/content/ and moves the new EAD there for archiving (into a Metadata directory).
- tags in /srv/deposits/crowdsourcing/tags -- and does the same with these
- transcripts in /srv/deposits/crowdsourcing/transcriptions/ -- and does the same with these.
- ETDs in /srv/deposits/bornDigital
If you get an error message about ETD content already in the archive, do a diff between the incoming in /srv/deposits/bornDigital and the specified files in the archive. If they are for the same person, same degree, same title, they're okay (just an updated record). In this case, compare the versions in deposits/content with those in deposits/bornDigital -- if the deposits/content are the same plus faceted entries, delete the copy in deposits/bornDigital. Otherwise, overwrite the ones in deposits/content with those in deposits/bornDigital.
Otherwise (the new records are for different people or degrees/papers) -- contact the metadata librarians; they may have reused an identifier for a different ETD, and now what we have online has overwritten older content. We'll have to clean it up. Pull any related records out of /srv/deposits/content into a hold directory, before continuing with the archiving process.
4) Remove RelocateManifests. Uncomment $test = 1 in "relocating" and run it.
5) Check the moveThese directory to make sure the files will be moved to the right location for each collection, and
6) Check the RelocateManifests to verify that the manifests will be written correctly. Be sure to look at end of relocateManifests for Manifests that need to be created by hand (for new holding areas), as well as to check what is being added to existing holder Manifests.
7) Comment back in $test = 1; and re-run "relocating". This script will:
- crawl through the /srv/deposits/content/ directories looking for content,
- locate or create the necessary manifests (including creating new ones if the latest one is approaching a terabyte of content),
- back up the manifests, and specify the ones that are in LOCKSS with a file naming convention (so we can collect the sizes of the manifests)
- identify where in the manifests things need to be linked, and add them
- move or copy files to the correct location in the archive, and
- document in a file named for the collection number in the moveThese subdirectory, what file was copied where, for the archival files (wav and tiff) that need checksum verification prior to deletion
8) Check parentMans output for any manifests that need to be created for new holding areas. If any are identified, create them to match the format of all other holding area Manifests, and insert the links captured for you in parentMans.
9) Run checkAll to verify that the archival files have been copied over correctly. It goes through the moveme file, does md5 comparison on the old file and the new one -- if they're the same, it will delete the old on in the deposits directory. If they're not the same, it will output an error and leave the original untouched.
10) Use deleteEmpties' to empty directories there.
11) Check the directories in /srv/deposits/content/ directories to make sure nothing is left. If anything is left in this location, there is a problem and you need to figure out what it is.
12) Using nohup (to keep this from dying if you get disconnected), run checkArchive, which will write to ArchiveERRORS. This takes hours, and will verify that everything in each manifest is in the archive, and everything that should be linked the manifests is indeed linked there properly.
13) Review ArchiveERRORS for problems that need to be corrected.
NOTE: When we digitize multiple tiny collections, we may combine the spreadsheets, for simplicity. Then, however, they must be split out by collection for archiving: File:SplitExcel.txt

Salmonella and E. coli have become well known culprits of foodborne illness in the United States. It is the responsibility of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to try to determine and contain this source of the illnesses.
Determining the source a complicated process. Food is tracked from its farm or garden routes through processing, packaging, store life, and finally to individual homes or restaurants. Although Salmonella and E. coli are popular causes, there are, in fact, many different types of bacteria, parasites, or viruses that cause illness. They can and have been picked up at any point along the food supply route. In addition, poisonous chemicals or agents can also get into foods and cause illness. So can we trust any food?
Perhaps you have had a food-related illness in the past. While unpleasant, you survived. For many people, food illness causes minor sickness and usually only lasts a couple of days. The illness may cause diarrhea, vomiting, cramping, and perhaps a strong desire to avoid certain foods in the future. However, some cases can be much more serious and cause disabilities or death. Pregnant women are at risk for having a miscarriage, premature delivery, or stillbirth. People with immune system problems are also more likely to have serious complications.
There are several methods to help decrease the chance of getting these illnesses. Many of the processes started over a hundred years ago. Pasteurization and safety standards in food preparation and canning are just a few examples. Other processes like food irradiation are newer methods. But the nature of the infectious agents and food processing may not allow total safety. People also need to be aware of and play their role in decreasing their risks.
Efforts from agencies, such as the CDC, are in place. They are constantly working to identify and contain sources of foodborne illnesses. Meanwhile bacteria, viruses, and parasites are evolving and finding new ways to thrive. As foods arrive from new areas and new packaging and processing methods are tried, the chance for new illness can arise. To add to the problem, different countries have different food care standards and enforcements. The United States has seen serious problems from foods imported from other countries.
In the United States, the public health departments monitor cases of foodborne illness. Similarities in cause of infection are noted. An outbreak of similar illnesses may indicate a more systemic problem. By tracing outbreaks, any new infectious agents can be tracked. Ideally, the problem will be found before it infects more people. Recalls of foods or closing of restaurants are often the first steps.
Researchers will look for the particular bacteria, virus, or parasite causing the illnesses. The offender will have a specific DNA signature. This will help researchers match up common links even if the food were distributed all over the United States. Once a particular culprit is found, a possible food link is identified. The food will be followed back through preparation, distribution, and growth until the contamination is identified. This process can take some time and become very complex.
The infection may begin at the farm. Contamination of food can start through contaminated fertilizers or irrigation with contaminated water. Diseases are also passed on through sick animals. Seafood can become contaminated by bacteria in the water infected through pollution. Animals housed in cramped quarters can easily spread contaminants.
Food processing can also be a hotbed for infections. Again, water used to process foods may be contaminated. When water is used to wash food it can contaminate large amounts of food. Meats and poultry can become contaminated through the slaughter process. One sick animal can contaminate large batches when the meat is mixed.
Human contact during processing of the food can also introduce infection. If a food handler has a virus or bacteria, they can pass on the illness by not washing their hands. Surfaces and kitchen tools also present an easy opportunity for food to become contaminated. If surfaces or tools are not washed in between food preparation, infectious materials can be spread through a whole meal. While some foods are cooked enough to kill infectious material, others exposed to the infectious materials may be served raw.
Finally, to make you ill, the bacteria needs to multiply. For instance, when food is left out for long periods of time, it creates an ideal situation for bacteria to flourish. The food provides the infectious material with "food" and the warm temperatures let it multiply readily. Refrigeration will keep most infectious material at bay.
Since these steps that are out of your control and in fact happen long before you even touch your food, it can be confusing to know what to do. There are some basics steps that can help you significantly lower your risk of foodborne illness:
Government agencies and food suppliers are working on ways to decrease the amount of contamination. Newer technologies, such as irradiation, have had some promising results but have created other concerns.
If you have a chronic disease, know what foods pose higher risks and be aware of safe food preparation. If you are pregnant, there are certain foods that are best to stay away from. If you are more susceptible, it is best to avoid these foods that may have infectious material:
While not every piece of food listed above causes illness, they present higher risks than other foods.

There are currently several absorbance- and fluorescence-based protein assays in common use, each with its own shortcomings, such as protein-to-protein variability, contaminant interference, time requirements, accuracy, sensitivity, and the need for caustic or hazardous reagents. We compared four common protein assays for protein-to-protein variation, accuracy, precision, and sensitivity. The Quant-iT™ Protein Assay for the Qubit® Fluorometer compared favorably by providing low protein variability, rapid quantitation, accuracy, precision, and high sensitivity.
NOTE: Since this article was published, we have launched the next generation instrument, the Qubit® 2.0 Fluorometer which quantitates DNA, RNA, and protein with unprecedented accuracy, sensitivity, and simplicity.
The Qubit™ Quantitation Platform: Fast and Easy to Use
The Qubit™ Quantitation Platform is the combination of a user-friendly fluorometer with highly sensitive fluorescence-based quantitation assays. The Qubit® Fluorometer is a small, economical instrument designed to work seamlessly with Quant-iT™ Assay Kits for routine protein, DNA, and RNA quantitation (Figure 1). All settings and calculations are performed for you. The system is simple, fast, and easy to use, yet consistently produces accurate results, so you can be confident moving forward with subsequent applications. Each Quant-iT™ Assay Kit is highly specific for a single analyte, and all are more sensitive than absorbance-based measurements. Only small sample volumes of 1–20 μL are required, and all assay reagents are stored at room temperature, eliminating the need to thaw reagents.
Figure 1. Workflow for the Quant-iT™ assays using the Qubit® Fluorometer.
Quant-iT™ Protein Assay: Accurate, Precise, and Sensitive
We compared 3 assays to the Quant-iT™ Protein Assay for the Qubit® Fluorometer (Figure 2): the Bio-Rad® Quick Start™ Bradford Protein Assay, the Pierce® BCA Protein Assay, and the Pierce® Modified Lowry Protein Assay. The Bradford method (using Coomassie Brilliant Blue) [1] exhibited very high protein-to-protein variability (Figure 2B). Spectrophotometric assays such as those using BCA (bicinchoninic acid) [2] require carefully timed steps, are not compatible with reducing agents, and often yield high estimates of protein, as observed for lysozyme in our study (Figure 2C). The Lowry method [3] (Figure 2D) employs a lengthy, multistep procedure and is incompatible with detergents, carbohydrates, and reducing agents. The Quant-iT™ Protein Assay showed low protein-to-protein variation, good accuracy and precision, and sensitivity down to 0.025 mg/mL in the stock sample (Figure 2A).
The Quant-iT™ Protein Assay is insensitive to many common contaminants, including reducing agents, nucleic acids, and free amino acids. However, detergents, such as SDS (final concentration >0.01%), Tween® 20, and Triton® X-100, are not recommended. The assay has an optimal range of 1.25 to 25 µg/mL (0.25–5 µg) in the assay tube (initial stock concentrations, 12.5–5 mg/mL) and is provided in a simple kit format that allows easy and rapid use. Learn more about the Qubit™ Quantitation Platform.
Figure 2. The Quant-iT™ Protein Assay with the Qubit® Fluorometer produces less protein-to-protein variation and higher accuracy, precision, and sensitivity than 3 other common protein assays. (A–D) The same lot of each protein was used in all assays, and assays were carried out in triplicate following the manufacturers' protocols. Data are graphed to show protein-to-protein variation throughout the protein concentration range tested. The inset in (A) is a magnification of the low end of the protein range, to show the sensitivity of the Quant-iT™ Protein Assay used with the Qubit® Fluorometer.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) � As it prepares to turn 100, the Boy Scouts of America is honing its survival skills for what might be its biggest test yet: drawing Hispanics into its declining � and mostly white � ranks.
"We either are going to figure out how to make Scouting the most exciting, dynamic organization for Hispanic kids, or we're going to be out of business," said Rick Cronk, former national president of the Boy Scouts, and chairman of the World Scout Committee.
The venerable Scouts remains the United States' largest youth organization, with 2.8 million children and youths, nearly all of them boys. But that is nearly half its peak membership, reached in 1972.
Its rolls took hits through the 1980s and '90s over a still-standing ban on gay or atheist leaders, and scandals surrounding inflated membership numbers. In addition, teenagers raised on TV and shoot-'em-up games had less use for learning to build a campfire or memorize the Scout oath.
The country changed too. One in five children under 18 is Hispanic, according to the U.S. Census. But they make up only 3 percent of Scouts.
Cronk made Hispanic outreach a focus after he realized that just translating brochures into Spanish, or combining Cub Scouting with soccer, was not enough to meet the goal of doubling Hispanic membership by the group's centennial in 2010.
"We were nibbling around the edges," Cronk said. "We knew very little about the Hispanic family, how they see us, what they value."
Cronk, past president of Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, grew up a city kid in Oakland, Calif. He fell in love with Scouting in the Sierra Nevada, during his first backpacking excursions.
He looked at the problem of Latino underrepresentation as a businessman. The Boy Scouts had a good product but much of its new consumer base had never heard of it.
So the group set out to sell Scouting, hiring a Washington-based media and marketing company that targets Latinos. To spread the word, the Scouts gathered a committee of Hispanic leaders, including the CEO of AT&T's wireless unit, a U.S. senator from Florida and the archbishop of the Diocese of Laredo.
In 2009, the Boy Scouts is kicking off pilot programs in six heavily Latino cities, from Fresno, Calif. to Orlando, Fla., to test ways of introducing Scouting to immigrant parents. The group is also planning radio and television spots, hiring bicultural, Spanish-speaking staffers, partnering with churches that serve Hispanics and shaping programs to fit the family-oriented community.
"We're serious about this," said Rob Mazzuca, Chief Scout Executive. "This is a reinventing of the Boy Scouts of America."
To work, the changes will have to run deep, said Julio Cammarota, a University of Arizona professor who has researched Hispanic youth.
Scouts will have to work with Latinos' strong family connections and relax the focus on individual achievement, Cammarota said. Creating activities where younger boys learn from the older ones � much as they rely on siblings and cousins within the extended family � will also feel more comfortable.
"They'd be better off starting with a carne asada in a city park," Cammarota said. "Sending their kids away on their own, that's not familiar."
Scouting's traditional values dovetail well with those of Hispanic families � respect, discipline, and community involvement � said Carlos Alcazar, CEO of Hispanic Communications Network, which developed the 2009 strategy after conducting a yearlong survey of Hispanic attitudes toward the Scouts.
As a dozen boys wearing the light blue Soccer and Scouting jerseys tumbled into an auditorium in San Jose's Seven Trees Elementary School, nearly breathless from a game played in the December chill, it was clear they loved the program � certainly the soccer part of it. But the connection to Scouting remained tenuous.
Michael Gudino, 7, and his brother Matthew Gudino, 6, talked about what they loved best: dribbling the ball, learning to pass and playing on a real field.
Pressed on what they like about Scouting, they stopped to think.
"Learning to be nice to each other?" Michael said tentatively. "Folding the flag?"
Their mother, Sandy Gudino, was pleased to find that Scouting was no more expensive than other youth activities, and she likes the discipline that comes with it.
Valente Morales, whose 6-year-old son Valentin's soccer skills had improved in just a few months, was won over by the coach � a Hispanic parent like himself.
"The trust came from becoming familiar with the people who run it, the people in this community," he said.
While soccer may be the draw, the Scouts' challenge is to keep the youngsters involved when the game is over, said Marcos Nava, director of the National Hispanic Initiatives Division, who was visiting the San Jose program.
"One hundred years � that's a great benchmark for us," Nava said. "But we have to remember, to Hispanics, we're just at the introduction, the basics. Because if we don't get past that stage, we won't live to see another 100 years."
Boy Scouts see Hispanics as key to boosting ranks

Coverage out of immigration debate
Politically, it's a no-brainer: People in the country illegally shouldn't get government health care benefits.
It's such a nonstarter politically, in fact, that politicians don't even question whether it's smart policy to have millions of people remain uninsured for another decade or more, even if Congress does approve a pathway to their legalization. If anything, some in Congress want to make it tougher for people on that pathway to get government health benefits, and several senators have drafted amendments to the immigration bill that would prolong waiting periods or reinforce other coverage restrictions.
Story Continued Below
"It's important to remember that people who are in this country illegally have violated the laws of the United States," said Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a leader of the Gang of Eight, which drew up the bill that the Senate Judiciary Committee is considering. "Expanding [the bill] to provide health care benefits for people who have violated our immigration law, in addition to being unfair, would, quite frankly, raise the cost of the bill to an unsustainable level."
( PHOTOS: 20 quotes on immigration reform)
When the current immigration debate began a few months ago, Democrats and Republicans alike practically tripped over themselves to assure voters that 11 million undocumented immigrants would not get Medicare, Medicaid or taxpayer-financed insurance subsidies in the new Obamacare exchanges or online markets.
There's a huge debate about the overall economic impact of allowing undocumented immigrants to become legal, and it's not only along the usual left-right battlegrounds, as the conservative critique of The Heritage Foundation's immigration cost study attests. But on the specific issue of health care, many lawmakers say the expense of providing coverage would outweigh any savings from reducing uncompensated care.
Several amendments have been filed to limit taxpayer-financed coverage, although it's not yet certain which or how many will get a vote in the Judiciary Committee. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), for instance, has filed an amendment that would bar immigrants from getting Obamacare subsidies for five years after they become legal, a process that itself is likely to take a decade or more. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) filed a slew of health-related amendments, including one that would not allow any undocumented immigrant deemed likely to receive government benefits to get provisional status.
( PHOTOS: At a glance: The Senate immigration deal)
And there's virtually no chance of any push to cover them sooner or more easily. "I think it would be a heavy lift politically," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.).
Talk of covering undocumented immigrants was similarly taboo during the debate over President Barack Obama's health care law four years ago. The president never included them — although skepticism about whether he would follow through on the policy of exclusion prompted that memorable, "You lie" shout out by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) during a joint session of Congress in September 2009.
The health law that was enacted a few months later not only withholds government health benefits from undocumented immigrants, it doesn't even let them use their own money to buy health care on the exchanges.
The Gang of Eight package — if it's ever passed — would by and large follow the same path. Even while undergoing the lengthy immigration legalization process, expected to take a decade or longer, people won't be able to tap into Obamacare benefits. The one difference is that when they start on the path of legalization — gaining "provisional" status — they would be able to use their own money to buy an exchange policy, if they can afford it. But they still wouldn't be eligible for tax credits.

Every week -- often with your help -- Food52's Senior Editor Kristen Miglore is unearthing recipes that are nothing short of genius.
Today: What happens when the minds behind Mission Chinese cross creme brûlée, French toast, and tres leches cake? An indulgent, 5-ingredient treat -- maybe the best pick-me-up we've ever had.
If the holidays are starting to unnerve you; if you're feeling in need of comfort and strength, what you need is a celebration. What you need is French Toast Crunch.
It's not what you're thinking. French Toast Crunch is Anthony Myint's brilliant brûléed buttered toast resting in a pool of warm, sweet milk: our old friend milk toast, all dressed up.
Milk toast has been knotted up with connotations so profoundly bland (I blame this guy) that we're starting to forget what it actually is -- which is simply toast soaked in buttered milk. In An Alphabet For Gourmets, M. F. K. Fisher calls it "a warm, mild, soothing thing, full of innocent strength" in a recipe titled, appropriately, Milk Toast (for the Ill, Weak, Old, Very Young, or Weary).
So milk toast's milquetoasty reputation could use a little flash. And where better to get it than Mission Street Food, from the team that gave us thrice-cooked bacon and kung pao pastrami? In the book, they include a chart of 13 twists, from Matcha to Baklava Toast Crunch, and you can vary it endlessly -- but this is comfort food, so you can also just keep it simple.
More: Want Mission Chinese Food's Szechuan Lamb Dumplings recipe? Peter Meehan shares it with us, sort of.
Myint explained to me over email that this is a dish born out of resourcefulness and novelty, when Mission Street Food was still a twice-weekly pop-up restaurant. They had to think fast for a new menu each night. "Oatmeal cookies and a chamomile milk shake would have been lovely but would have taken a few more hours than my week was shaping up to allow," Myint said. No wonder it's perfect for whipping up at home, whenever the need strikes.
Here's how to make it at home: Warm up some half-and-half, steep some chamomile (or Earl Grey or soothing spices) in it if you like. Then stir in just a little sweetened condensed milk.
Slice the best sandwich bread you can find -- pain de mie, or brioche -- really thick (about an inch).
Butter one side heavily (Myint says two tablespoons, and -- yep -- that's fantastic, but you can eyeball it.)
Toast it on both sides till just golden -- under the broiler is easiest. You don't want to put your toaster through this.
Dip the buttery side in sugar, then broil again.
Don't look away. You can use a torch for this part if you're that fancy. As Myint told me, "There's a little known section in the owner's manual when you buy a torch where you have to take an oath to brûlée whenever possible/plausible."
You can't eat this and not be happy. A bite into broiled, sugared toast -- loud, unflinching -- is matched only by the life-affirming crack of a spoon breaking through the glassy top of a creme brûlée. And when you set it in a warm milky puddle, good airy toast drinks up milk like a happy tres leches cake, while that toasty butter candy top hovers above it, keeping its crunch pristine.
When would you serve it, besides a quiet moment alone? A weeknight dinner party. A brunch party. An afternoon snack for your children, if you don't want your children to ever eat plain toast again. Christmas morning. Valentine's Day. A birthday breakfast.
Yes, even breakfast. A sticky bun isn't the healthiest way to start the day either, but we do it. And as far as fancy bakery-level treats go, this is the only one you can have 15 minutes from now.

Nokia Lumia 920 Manual / User Guide
This is the official Nokia Lumia 920 User Guide in English provided from the manufacturer. If you are looking for detailed technical specifications, please see our Specs page.
Nokia Lumia 920 is the first Windows Phone 8 flagship of the manufacturer with a modern dual-core processor, and the first with an HD screen. After all, this is what the competing mobile ecosystems have been offering in their flagships for a while now, so Nokia finally had to offer something to go spec-for-spec against the Android monstrosities, now that Microsoft caught up. Before we go into the things that set it apart from the competition, let's recap the specifications - we get a huge 4.5" screen with 1280x768 pixels of resolution, a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 chipset with LTE radio to boot, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal memory plus 7GB of SkyDrive cloud storage, and an 8MP camera on the back with ceramic zirconium camera detailing. The screen tech is called PureMotion HD+, meaning blur-free scrolling on the curved glass display. Nokia calls it the "fastest LCD display", with up to 2.5 times faster refresh rate and new supersensitive touch technology, that allows you to use it with gloves. A new ClearBlack technology iteration is in the Lumia 920, and it adapts to the outside brightness to minimize reflectance. ClearBlack is proven to give the best smartphone visibility outside in direct sunlight, so the screen should be a looker. Pixel density on the new display is 332ppi, a record in its class, and it also sports a high-brightness mode of 600 nits.
