Jennifer: Then to add to the mix the fact that the military attracts certain kinds of people. I know someone from Korea who workd with our soldiers for years. He has a very low opinion of the average American GI.
I think that they are under tremendous stress due to the fact that the administration low-balled the number of troops in the war plan (to make it more politically saleable), resulting in requiring the troops who were sent to have extended tours of duty. You can only take that much stress for so long, IMO. No excuse for the barbaric behavior we have seen in these pictures, but it is the reality of the context that the administration has put them in.
the military attracts certain kinds of people.
It's hard to "high-ball" the number of troops in any case if we don't have them thanks to a decade or so of cutting the ranks.But I agree - no excuse here no matter who is to blame.Demetri
Do you mean the "kind of people" who are willing to put their lives on the line to defend in armed combat (should it come to that) the rights, lives and privileges of comfortable lawyers and others of the privileged class, who return the favor by looking down their elitist noses at the working class saps who are of such a lowly "kind of person" that they are stupid enough to be willing to sacrifice themselves for the aforementioned . . . uh . . . "kinds of persons?"This unjustified, unfounded snobbery, so prevalent among our surprisingly under-educated professional and graduate-school-educated classes, makes me sick to my stomach.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – After honoring the senior class before the game and after two weather delays, Barry University's baseball team defeated Palm Beach Atlantic 17-5 in a game halted by rain in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Barry (27-18) got on the board first with a run in the bottom of the first on Tyler Kellmann's RBI double to right. After trading a pair of runs, the Bucs dropped four more in the fourth as Sheehan Planas-Arteaga picked up a pair of RBI's with a double to left-center.
The Sailfish (24-19) kept battling, scoring two runs in the fifth to pull within three but the Buccaneers offense was running on all cylinders Saturday, adding three runs in the sixth and eight runs in seventh.
The seventh inning rally began with Michael Diaz getting hit by a pitch. After Joe Iorio single and a Sailfish error, Planas-Arteaga delivered his fourth hit of the game to drive in a run. Luis Arrizurieta was hit by a pitch and Adrian English came through with a sacrifice fly to deep right-center to plate another run.
Once again, Tyler Kellmann singled to center, picking up yet another RBI with his career-high fifth hit of the ball game. The game seemed to unravel at this point and with bad weather on the horizon, Michael Slabach and Tyler Kinley delivered back-to-back home runs. Slabach's three-run homer was his third of the season and Kinley's was the first of his career.
Soon after the game was stopped for the second weather delay of the day and eventually canceled.
Calvin Rayburn (7-2) tossed five innings and allowed just three runs, picking up his seventh win of the season.
Kevin Youst struck out two batters in two innings in relief as well.
The final game of the three-game series has been postponed and will be made-up at a later date.
Barry continues a stretch of nonconference action on Wednesday when they travel to St. Thomas. Live-stat and audio broadcast coverage will be available through the Barry University athletics website, GOBARRYBUCS.COM.

The idea of a TSPR originated with Taher H. Haveliwala of the Stanford University Department of Computer Science in 2002. In a paper entitled Topic-Sensitive Page-Rank, the concept was first introduced at the Proceedings of the Eleventh International World Wide Web Conference, in 2002. The paper, in its entirety, can be found here.
Keep in mind that the paper offered at the conference was one method of implementation only. The actual calculation used might be quite different. What is important is the overall concept of TSPR, and its implications for the search engine optimization community.
How is Topic-Sensitive PageRank different from PageRank?
To fully understand the implications of Topic-Sensitive PageRank, we need to first briefly examine the current Google PageRank (PR) system.
PageRank (spelled as one word) is a Google trademarked technology. It was designed as a numerical system of ranking the relative importance of web pages, and created at Stanford University in California by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
The concept they used was, in Google's own words, to calculate the "uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value."
If Google's definition is taken literally, the entire system rests on the incoming and outgoing links from the billions of web pages that form the Internet. On the surface, the system seems simple enough. If web page A links to web page B, Google considers web page A as actually voting for the importance of web page B.
While the system of PageRank is far more complicated than that simple definition, it serves our purposes for this article.
{mospagebreak title=Even More Accurate?}
Topic-Sensitive PageRank is a theoretical attempt to make the system of PageRank potentially more accurate. Instead of a single PR ranking, the TSPR calculation would create several different PageRanks, for each particular topic. The topics used for the tabulations would be representative of the theme of each specific webpage.
The idea would be to use a number pre-calculated and topic biased vectors to create a number of PageRanks for each web document. In that sense, the PR would be theme sensitive.
Instead of the PageRank being based on all incoming links, the Topic-Sensitive PageRank would be heavily weighted toward links that were related to the page's main subject area. Links from sites not directly on topic, with the specific webpage, would be assigned much less weight in the calculation.
How does Topic-Sensitive PageRank Work?
The currently used PageRank calculation is conducted once, and is completely independent of the search query. Because the PageRank is only marginally related to the search term, the PR remains constant at a single ranking.
In the Topic-Sensitive PageRank system, heavily linked pages bearing no informational relationship with the search term, will be given less weight for that topic. On the other hand, pages receiving only a few incoming links, but from very related sites, will be given much more consideration for that term. The result will be a higher TSPR for that site, for that specific search query, despite a much lower PR under the current system.
In order to create the specific representative basis topics, which would be limited in scope, not all possible query terms would be used. Specifically, the topic areas proposed by the TSPR system designers, would draw on the Open Directory Project (DMOZ) data base. Only a limited number of themes would be used to pre-calculate the TSPRs.
{mospagebreak title=How is Topic-Sensitive PageRank calculated?}
Like the currently used Google PageRank system, the Topic-Sensitive PageRank would also be pre-computed, to save time in the search query processing. Since there are multiple themes to calculate, each page would be scored against multiple topics. Instead of one PR number, there would be many numbers, based on the total number of themes used in the computation.
At the time of the search query, all of the pre-calculated PR numbers are used together, to create a composite number for that specific topic. As each topic is weighed differently, relative to each web page, the PR number could vary widely from search to search.
The first step in the calculation process is to generate the weighted topic vectors. These would be calculated offline prior to updates. The exact mathematical formula is very complex, and may not even be the one considered for use. As always, Google won't be discussing their formula in public. Because of the possibility of using a completely different formula, from the one presented in the Stanford presentation, there is no point in studying it precisely.
What is important to know, however, is the system as proposed in the Stanford presentation, is heavily based on the categories found in the Open Directory Project (DMOZ). The confidence placed in the DMOZ, is based on the assumption that the data in that directory is lacking bias, due to the editors being volunteers. Many observers might question that assumption. Despite the best efforts of the volunteer editors to provide the best possible directory, intentional or unintentional errors can still be made.
The initial bias toward themes, as found in the Open Directory Project, is only the first part of the calculation process. The first part created the weighted PageRanks. The second part is computed for the individual search engine query.
What is also important to know is that each web page will end up with multiple PageRanks depending upon the keywords being searched.
The calculation for each individual search query could be performed in one of two ways. Again, keep in mind that we can't be certain which way Google would choose to make the tabulation.
The first way, and the example used in the research paper, is to make the calculation a uniform one. All users searching a particular keyword, or combination of keywords, would receive similar results. The system, based on uniformity, would be easier to implement.
The second way, would be to make the results individualized to the search engine user. By taking into consideration prior searches, and surfing habits of a user, that person's query could be personalized. The resulting returns would be based on that user's individual interests. Such a system would presuppose the use of surfer tracking techniques.
{mospagebreak title=The Value of Incoming Links}
In the currently used PageRank system, incoming links have a fixed PR value. For example, a PageRank 6 page passes along that PR value to the receiving page, regardless of the themes of the pages. A PR6 page about cats can pass strong PageRank along to a page on travel, whether related to the subject or not.
In a Topic-Sensitive PageRank environment, the same PR6 page about cats would be weighted in many ways, against the various categories used in the Open Directory Project. The amount of TSPR would vary from one receiving web page to another. The travel page would not receive as much passed along PR, from the cats page, as would a page on animal care.
Incoming links would require an examination of the relationship of the sending page's theme to that of the receiving page. In other words, the value of an incoming link can vary widely from page to page. A PR6 page unrelated to your page's theme would carry far less TSPR value than a PR3 page more similar to your theme.
For webmasters seeking reciprocal links, the value of a page would depend heavily on the type of site under consideration. A page on cats would not get very much TSPR value from a link exchange with a travel page.
In order to build a strong PageRank, and become an "authority site," incoming links would need to be from similarly weighted pages. The need to find links with pages that are in your website's area of interest becomes very important under the TSPR calculation. Not just any old links would work anymore.
{mospagebreak title=Implications for Website Optimization}
If the current system of Google PageRank were replaced by the Topic-Sensitive PageRank system, a new approach would have to be taken to search engine optimization. There is some speculation that the change may be taking place now, or in the near future. Should that indeed be the case, SEOs would have to learn the new system.
The current PageRank calculation is relatively familiar to search engine optimization specialists. Google has published the original formula used for the calculations, and the theory behind it. While that original equation may have been modified, the overall theory has remained fairly constant. The single PR number is universally recognized and understood.
If a Topic-Sensitive PageRank calculation is fully introduced, the task of optimizing PageRank will become more difficult. Simply adding incoming links, regardless of source, will no longer be as effective. In fact, it may even be counterproductive. Link exchanges will lose their former level of effectiveness.
Webmasters will need to seek out incoming links from similar themed websites. Constantly updating a website with fresh and relevant content, may become even more important than it is at present, in order to attract natural linking.
Searches could become more personally tailored, as the PageRank will be more specific to a given page. On the other hand, the relative importance of PageRank to the overall search engine algorithm, would have to be considered. That issue is one of debate within the SEO community. If PR is given only a small share importance in the algorithm, then TSPR won't make a large difference to the results.
Without some idea of the formula that might be used in the Topic-Sensitive PageRank calculation, specifics are difficult to ascertain. All that can be discovered are the potential implications of the system.
In which ever way the system is implemented, TSPR will have a profound effect on how PageRank is assigned by Google.

A move that is used by mainly technical/ strong wrestlers, this is a nice variation of a spinebuster which sees the opponent lifted upwards and then planted back first onto the canvas.
Probably made most famous by D'Lo Brown– who named the move the 'Sky High'– the Lifting Sitout Spinebuster is mainly used as a signature manoeuvre by many wrestlers worldwide. Some of those include Tommy Dreamer, Apollo, Billy Kidman and Chris Hero. It is also known as a Rydeen Bomb, a name coined by Japanese sensation Satoshi Kojima. A great variation, however, can be seen in the video below, where Chris Masters throws Drew McIntyre upwards in the air before planting him onto the canvas.
The move usually starts off with the opponent running towards the wrestler. This allows the opponent to gain momentum to jump high in the air in order to sell the move more effectively. When the opponent gets within a few feet of the wrestler, the wrestler will grasp the opponent up in the air by using their abdomen/armpits.
With the opponent now in the air, the wrestler will then transition their hands so that they are close to the opponent's chest. This allows the wrestler to slightly keep hold of the opponent but also allows them to get ready to push them downwards towards the canvas.
The wrestler's hands will now be pretty much on the opponent's upper body, allowing them to forcefully push them downwards to the canvas. The opponent will hit the canvas back first as the wrestler sits down abruptly, making the move look pretty similar to a powerbomb-style manoeuvre. The wrestler can then hook the opponent's legs ready for the pinfall.
- Also known as: Rydeen Bomb/ Sky lift Powerbomb/ Sky High/ Sitout Spinebuster
- Famous users: Satoshi Kojima, D'Lo Brown, Tommy Dreamer, Billy Kidman, Apollo, Chris Masters, Gregory Helms
- Finished off: Low Ki, Taka Michinoku, Lita, Rey Mysterio, Val Venis
- H&B Rating: 7
Watch more variations:
D'Lo Brown's Sky High– One of the first American wrestlers seen to use the move, D'Lo hits a good variation where he keeps the opponent high before spinning slightly and driving them down to the canvas.
Billy Kidman's BK Bomb– Kidman used this move as a signature, mainly to smaller competitors than himself. He hits a nice variation here to Spike Dudley during a cruiserweight match.
Rosie Lottalove's Lifting Sitout Spinebuster– Slightly different here, as Rosie lifts the opponent using their legs before dropping down into the sitout position.
Tommy Dreamer's Liting Sitout Spinebuster– Dreamer is used to busting out great moves, and in this video he shows no exception, lifting a larger Kevin Thorn upwards before planting him on the canvas.

I'll be going back to work in about 7 weeks or so, a week after DD turns one (I know, I'm so lucky to have been able to stay home this long with her!). I'll be part time for the first year, but my schedule won't be consistent. I could be working days, evenings, midnights, etc. DH or SIL will be watching DD while I'm at work.
My issue is about what to do milk-wise. Currently, she nurses quite frequently during the day, and solids are hit and miss. I know that a lot can change in 7 weeks, but it's just so hard to believe that she'd be ok all day or night without milk. So should I be pumping daily now to build up a stash? I won't be pumping when I go back to work, so I don't know if it's a good idea to go from pumping and nursing on demand to nothing at all for 9 hours or so. She's had bottles of EBM infrequently, so she does know how to take a bottle. Should I be introducing a bottle on a regular basis at this age? Though she does occasionally fall asleep in her stroller or baby carrier, she otherwise nurses to sleep. I don't know how she'll do without it.
I guess I just need some more experienced mamas to reassure me that it'll be ok! I'm really anxious about going back and leaving her - I want the transition to be as smooth as possible for both of us!
Thanks in advance

Yutori-chan is a new comedy directed by Kawaguchi Keiichirou (Getsumen to Heiki Mina, Hayate no Gotoku), with original character designs by POP (Moetan), and animation directed by Nishio Kouhaku (ToHeart2, Moetan).
The main seiyuus are Yuuki Aoi, Hanazawa Kana, and Watanabe Akeno, who also do the OP.
It consists of two-minute streamed animations, distributed via links sent out (apparently daily) to viewers by Biglobe. The first four episodes were previewed in December. The full season begins Tuesday 16 March.
Yutori-chan is a cute, cheery, selfish, inefficient part-time worker in the marketing department of a toy company. She (Yuuki Aoi) is a high-school student, and her closest co-worker (Hanazawa Kana) is a student at a prestigious university. Their supervisor is played by Watanabe Akeno.
The animation is simple but effective. The first four episodes were funny, and the seiyuu work is excellent.
More credits: animation produced by Actas; story by Tanaka Yutori and Actas; script by Asakawa Miya (Mars Daybreak, Shounen Onmyouji, episodes of Noein).

I just recently saw the first 4 web-episodes that has been out since December(?), and I can say it's my type of comedy. I can see myself being entertained by Yutori-chan alone, whom she reminded me a bit of Miu (Ichigo Mashimaro), with her heedless tendency.
Anyway, I signed up for the e-mail service and I got the links to the streams but it has some type of error for me. Could it be that they're blocking my IP since I don't live in Japan? Anyone else sign up for it?
Edit: Err, nvm.. they stopped sending me links to streams after the 4th episode. I think for episode 5 and up you have to pay 500 yen or something. Great.

I sure hope someone is able to keep up with subbing these. They're hard to find. They appear daily, and we're up to over 22 of them now. Chinese subs do keep showing up. Episode 13 -- which I've seen called "Black Yutori" -- is a classic. Especially good work by Yuuki Aoi.
@Rias -- I'll bet that's exactly what they're poking fun at, since Yutori-chan herself is pretty relaxed and refuses to work overtime, for example. And she is also the happiest of everyone in the office, it seems.
NOTE: I didn't know what "Yutori Education" was until I looked it up on my friend, Wikipedia. It was an education reform that among other things reduced hours in elementary school, trying to reduce pressure on students. The changes started in 1989, but the biggest changes took place in 1998, so students who had their education since then -- including Yutori-chan -- would show the effects of it.

91.301 Organization of Programming Languages, Spring 2011
We will be using the following book:
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (2nd edition, 1996, ISBN 0070004846)
Basically all departments that award bachelor's degrees in Computer Science have a course like OPL. Such a class is also required by CSAB, the professional organization that accredits CS degrees. So, everyone's got onewhy?
In my opinion, this course exists to give you a different way of thinking about computing. A way that is really quite apart from the professional programming languages like C, C++, and Java, all of which are based on an edit/compile/debug/deploy model of computation.
There are basically two variants of the OPL-type course at CS departments. One variant is a survey of the ideas in many languages that have been created and implemented. The other variant is a deep-dive into a language favored by language researchers, often Scheme or CAML. Both of these languages are meta-languagesthey are languages for making languages.
At UMass Lowell, we take the 2nd approach (deep dive) in our undergrad course, and the survey approach in our grad class. For many years here, 91.301 has been a close implementation of the famous 6.001 course at MIT, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. This course was created in the 1970s and has been hugely influential.
Now, it so happens that MIT has just implemented a major overhaul of their undergrad EECS curriculum, and as of Fall 2008, the 6.001 course is no longer being offered. Given that, why are we still teaching it, you might ask?
Isnt Scheme a Dead Language? (aka, Why do I have to take this class?)
Scheme isn't exactly dead. There is a committed community involved in on-going development of the version of Scheme we'll be using (Racket). Scheme itself is a streamlined, pedagogically pure version of Lisp; Lisp is an expanded version of the language, with lots of libraries useful in real-world applications. While not hugely popular, there are still significant real-world systems being built in Lisp. The Orbitz flight reservation system is a leading example.
More importantly, the ideas behind Schemee.g., functional programmingare valuable, even if you're not coding in Scheme.
What Is The Big Idea Then?
There are actually several big ideas that we will bring out in OPL:
But in Scheme, the fundamental notation for describing code and data (known as the S-expression) is the same thing. Data structures and executable procedures are both nested lists. Furthermore, it is commonplace for code to produce data that is executed as code.
This leads to the next point...
Please don't confuse C/Java functions with Scheme-style functional programming. In C and Java, functions are really imperative programminga series of commandswith lots of side-effects (mutation of data structures and variable values). In functional programming, given the same input, the result of evaluating a function is always the same (think mathematical functions). There is no global or external state that gets involved.
Functional programming has some advantages in transparency and simplicity, particularly in language and symbolic processing, and is facilitated by a language like Scheme in which code can easily construct and output code on the fly. Also, a functional program, with its lack of side-effects and mutation of data structures, is much easier to parallelizeyou can run multiple functions separately and concurrently, without worrying about them fighting over the same shared data structures.
This idea, which is of course the basis of object-oriented programming, is so well-established that it may now seem obvious. But this was hardly the case in the 1960s and 1970s when SICP was developed. Scheme has a somewhat different way of bundling together data representations and the procedures (methods) for manipulating them, which allows a high degree of flexibility.
Scheme handles things totally differently. Once you create an object, it's just thereexisting in the environment in which it was created. As long has you have a handle to it (i.e., you've named it, or it's part of another object that you have access to), the object will persist. When you quit Scheme, the entire environment including all objects gets saved to disk. Next time you relaunch, you reload the environment file and everything is exactly as you left it. (There once were Lisp Machines, and the concept of quitting Scheme didn't exist.) Smalltalk, the language developed by Alan Kay as part of the Xerox Star project [a.k.a., the machine that led to the Macintosh and the WIMP windows-icon-mouse-pointer interface], also implemented code and data persistence through a saveable environment image. In fact, Squeak, a current implementation of Smalltalk, includes code and data objects that were created back in the 1970s during the original Smalltalk workas a sourdough yeast starter reproduces itself through the years.
As part of the implementation of the environment, garbage collection was introduced. Objects that had no way of being accessed (i.e., they had no names, no pointers to them) could be removed from memory, and the space they took up could then be freed for other purposes. Once controversial because of its complexity, automatic garbage collection is now considered an obvious part of a modern language design.
Because of the Listener, developing Scheme programs feels quite different than working in a typical edit-compile-test language. After a single procedure is defined, you can try it out interactively, giving it inputs and examining its outputs. Combined with the concept of the environment, you end up iteratively and alternately developing data structures and the code for operating on them.
When you become accustomed to the Listener, you feel stymied without it. It becomes annoying to write
main functions simply for the purpose of exercising your routineswhy can't you just talk to them directly? Similarly, the environment is a powerful constructyou build up a library of objects that are part of your project, and once created, they are part of your software system.
Indeed the whole experience of computing becomes one of building objects that of course persist and seem alive. Rather than writing recipes that only temporarily instantiate objects, you create them directly, knowing that they will be there for you later.
Course Structure and Grading
The class will have regular weekly assignments, which will be graded and returned. Cumulatively these assignments are worth 25% of your overall grade. Assignments will be accepted up to 1 week late with a 50% reduction in that assignment's value. If you fall behind on your homework, it is much better to cut your losses and work on the current assignment, instead of running behind trying to catch up.
There will be two in-class quizzes during the semester. Each is worth 10% of your overall grade.
There will be a cumulative final, worth 20% of your overall grade.
Classroom participation is worth 10% of your overall grade. In practice, if your other grades put you on a marking boundary, this will push it one way or the other.
You may notice that this leaves 25% remaining. Based on last semester's success, I am continuing with a course final project, which will be conducted in the last three weeks of the semester. We will exploratory research and discussions before then, though, so you can start preparing for it.
In the final project, you will apply the ideas developed in the class in an original software implementation. You may thus connect the ideas of the class with your own interestsmusic, robotics, art, databases, the web, networking, gaming, etc. The learning goal of the project is to have you find some real-world relevance of the ideas in the class.

This document contains information for an outdated version and may not be maintained any more. If some of your projects still use this version, consider upgrading as soon as possible.
SilverStripe templates consist of HTML code augmented with special control codes, described below. Because of this, you can have as much control of your site's HTML code as you like.
Because the SilverStripe templating language is a string processing language it can therefore be used to make other text-based data formats, such as XML or RTF.
Here is a very simple template:
<% base_tag %>
<% require themedCSS(screen) %>

Bob's Chicken Shack

<% with $CurrentMember %>

Welcome $FirstName $Surname.

<% end_with %>
<% if $Dishes %>
<% loop $Dishes %>

$Title ($Price.Nice)

<% end_loop %>
<% end_if %>
<% include Footer %>
More sophisticated use of templates for pages managed in the CMS, including template inheritance and navigation loops is documented in the page types topic.
Template elements
Variables are things you can use in a template that grab data from the page and put in the HTML document. For example:
This inserts the value of the Title field of the page being displayed in place of
$Title. This type of variable is called a property. It is often something that can be edited in the CMS. Variables can be chained together, and include arguments.
These variables will call a method/field on the object and insert the returned value as a string into the template.
$Propertywill call
$obj->Property()(or the field
$Property(param)will call
$Property.SubPropertywill call
$obj->Property()->SubProperty()(or field equivalents)
If a variable returns a string, that string will be inserted into the template. If the variable returns an object, then
the system will attempt to render the object through its forTemplate() method. If the
forTemplate() method has not been
defined, the system will return an error.
SilverStripe provides many additional properties on the
SiteTree class,
see Page Type Templates for details.
Sometimes you will have template tags which need to roll into one another. This can often result in SilverStripe looking
for a "FooBar" value rather than a "Foo" and then "Bar" value or when you have a string directly before or after the
variable you will need to escape the specific variable. In the following example
$Foo is
$Foopx // returns "" (as it looks for a Foopx value)
{$Foo}px // returns "3px" (CORRECT)
Or when having a
$ sign in front of the variable
$$Foo // returns ""
${$Foo} // returns "$3"
You can also use a backslash to escape the name of the variable, such as:
$Foo // returns "3"
\$Foo // returns "$Foo"
Within SilverStripe templates we have the ability to include other templates from the Includes directory using the SS
'include' tag. For example, the following code would include the
Includes/SideBar.ss code:
<% include SideBar %>
The "include" tag can be particularly helpful for nested functionality. In this example, the include only happens if a variable is true
<% if $CurrentMember %>
<% include MembersOnlyInclude %>
<% end_if %>
Includes can't directly access the parent scope of the scope active when the include is included. However you can pass arguments to the include, which are available on the scope top within the include
<% with $CurrentMember %>
<% include MemberDetails PageTitle=$Top.Title, PageID=$Top.ID %>
<% end_with %>
You can also perform includes using the Requirements Class via the template controls. See the section on Includes in Templates for more details and examples.
<% require themedCSS(LeftNavMenu) %>
Conditional Logic
You can conditionally include markup in the output. That is, test for something that is true or false, and based on that test, control what gets output.
The simplest if block is to check for the presence of a value.
<% if $CurrentMember %>

You are logged in as $CurrentMember.FirstName $CurrentMember.Surname.

<% end_if %>
The following compares a page property called
MyDinner with the value in
kipper, which is a literal. If true, the text inside the if-block
is output.
<% if $MyDinner=="kipper" %>
Yummy, kipper for tea.
<% end_if %>
Note that inside a tag like this, variables should have a '$' prefix, and literals should have quotes. SilverStripe 2.4 didn't include the quotes or $ prefix, and while this still works, we recommend the new syntax as it is less ambiguous.
This example shows the use of the
else option. The markup after
else is
output if the tested condition is not true.
<% if $MyDinner=="kipper" %>
Yummy, kipper for tea
<% else %>
I wish I could have kipper :-(
<% end_if %>
This example shows the user of
else_if. There can be any number of
clauses. The conditions are tested from first to last, until one of them is true,
and the markup for that condition is used. If none of the conditions are true,
the markup in the
else clause is used, if that clause is present.
<% if $MyDinner=="quiche" %>
Real men don't eat quiche
<% else_if $MyDinner==$YourDinner %>
We both have good taste
<% else %>
Can I have some of your chips?
<% end_if %>
This example shows the use of
not to negate the test.
<% if not $DinnerInOven %>
I'm going out for dinner tonight.
<% end_if %>
You can combine two or more conditions with
|| ("or"). The markup is used if
either of the conditions is true.
<% if $MyDinner=="kipper" || $MyDinner=="salmon" %>
yummy, fish for tea
<% end_if %>
You can combine two or more conditions with
&& ("and"). The markup is used if
both of the conditions are true.
<% if $MyDinner=="quiche" && $YourDinner=="kipper" %>
Lets swap dinners
<% end_if %>
Looping Over Lists
<% loop %>...<% end_loop %> tag is used to iterate or loop over a
collection of items. For example:
<% loop $Children %>
<% end_loop %>
This loops over the children of a page, and generates an unordered list showing
Title property from each one. Note that
$Title inside the loop refers
to the
Title property on each object that is looped over, not the current page.
This is know as the
Scope of the template. For more information about
see the section below.
To refer to the current page's
Title property inside the loop, you can do
$Up.Title. More about
Up later.
$Me can be used to refer to the current object context the template is rendered
Position Indicators
Inside the loop scope, there are many variables at your disposal to determine the current position in the list and iteration:
$Odd: Returns boolean, handy for zebra striping
$EvenOdd: Returns a string, either 'even' or 'odd'. Useful for CSS classes.
$Middle: Booleans about the position in the list
$FirstLast: Returns a string, "first", "last", or "". Useful for CSS classes.
$Pos: The current position in the list (integer). Will start at 1.
$TotalItems: Number of items in the list (integer)
Altering the list
<% loop %> statements iterate over a DataList instance. As the
template has access to the list object, templates can call DataList
functions. For instance, see the following examples:
Providing a custom sort.
<% loop $Children.Sort(Title) %>
<% end_loop %>
Limiting the number of items displayed.
<% loop $Children.Limit(10) %>
<% end_loop %>
Reversing the loop.
<% loop $Children.Reverse %>
<% end_loop %>
DataList class also supports chaining methods. For example, to reverse
the list and output the last 3 items we would write:
<% loop $Children.Reverse.Limit(3) %>
<% end_loop %>
Modulus and MultipleOf
$Modulus and $MultipleOf can help to build column layouts.
$Modulus(value, offset) // returns an int
$MultipleOf(factor, offset) // returns a boolean.
The following example demonstrates how you can use $Modulus(4) to generate custom column names based on your loop statement. Note that this works for any control statement (not just children).
<% loop $Children %>

<% end_loop %>
Will return you column-3, column-2, column-1, column-0, column-3 etc. You can use these as styling hooks to float, position as you need.
You can also use $MultipleOf(value, offset) to help build columned layouts. In
this case we want to add a
after every 3th item.
<% loop $Children %>
<% if $MultipleOf(3) %>
<% end_if %>
<% end_loop %>
In the
<% loop %> section, we saw an example of two scopes. Outside the
<% loop %>...<% end_loop %>, we were in the scope of the page. But inside the
loop, we were in the scope of an item in the list. The scope determines where
the value comes from when you refer to a variable. Typically the outer scope of
a page type's layout template is the page that is currently being rendered.
The outer scope of an included template is the scope that it was included into.
When we are in a scope, we sometimes want to refer to the scope outside the
<% loop %> or <% with %>. We can do that easily by using
$Up takes
the scope back to the previous level. Take the following example:
<% loop $Children %>
<% loop $Children %>
<% end_loop %>
<% end_loop %>
With a page structure (Blog -> Blog entry -> Child blog entry) the above will produce:
Blog entry
Child blog entry
Blog entry
$Up provides us a way to go up 1 scope,
$Top is a shortcut to jump to
the top most scope of the page. Using the previous example but expanded to
<% loop $Children %>
<% loop $Children %>
<% end_loop %>
<% end_loop %>
Will produce
Blog entry
Child blog entry
Blog entry
<% with %>...<% end_with %> tag lets you introduce a new scope. Consider
the following example:
<% with $CurrentMember %>
Hello $FirstName, welcome back. Your current balance is $Balance.
<% end_with %>
Outside the
<% with %>...<% end_with %>, we are in the page scope. Inside it,
we are in the scope of
$CurrentMember. We can refer directly to properties and
methods of that member. So $FirstName is equivalent to $CurrentMember.FirstName.
This keeps the markup clean, and if the scope is a complicated expression we don't
have to repeat it on each reference of a property.
<% with %> also lets us use a collection as a scope, so we can access
properties of the collection itself, instead of iterating over it. For example:
returns the number of items in the $Children collection.
Lists can be paginated, and looped over to generate pagination. For this to work, the list needs to be wrapped in a PaginatedList. The process is explained in detail on the "pagination" howto.
The list is split up in multiple "pages", each . Note that "page" is this context
does not necessarily refer to a
Page class (although it often happens to be one).
$MoreThanOnePage: Returns true when we have a multi-page list, restricted with a limit.
$PrevLink: This returns links to the next and previous page in a multi-page datafeed. They will return blank if there's no appropriate page to go to, so
$PrevLinkwill return blank when you're on the first page.
$CurrentPage: Current page iterated on
$TotalPages: Total number of pages
$TotalItems: This returns the total number of items across all pages.
$Pages: The actual (limited) list of records, use in an inner loop
$PageNum: Page number, starting at 1 (within
$Link: Links to the current controller URL, setting this page as current via a GET parameter (within
$CurrentBool: Returns true if you're currently on that page (within
Formatting and Casting
Properties are usually auto-escaped in templates to ensure consistent representation,
and avoid format clashes like displaying unescaped ampersands in HTML.
By default, values are escaped as
XML, which is equivalent to
HTML for this purpose.
There's some exceptions to this rule, see the "security" topic.
In case you want to explicitly allow unescaped HTML input,
the property can be cast as HTMLText.
The following example takes the
Content field in a
SiteTree class,
which is of this type. It forces the content into an explicitly escaped format.
$Content.XML // transforms e.g. "alert" to "alert"
Apart from value formatting, there's many methods to transform them as well,
For example, the built in
$Now placeholder is an instance of Date,
and returns the current date in a standard system format.
Since its an object, you can use the helper methods to return other formats:
$Now.Year // Current year
$Now.Nice // Localized date, based on i18n::get_locale()
See data-types for more information.
Translations are easy to use with a template, and give access to SilverStripe's translation facilities. Here is an example:
<%t Member.WELCOME 'Welcome {name} to {site}' name=$Member.Name site="Foobar.com" %>
Pulling apart this example we see:
Member.WELCOMEis an identifier in the translation system, for which different translations may be available. This string may include named placeholders, in braces.
'Welcome {name} to {site}'is the default string used, if there is no translation for Member.WELCOME in the current locale. This contains named placeholders.
name=$Member.Nameassigns a value to the named placeholder
name. This value is substituted into the translation string wherever
{name}appears in that string. In this case, it is assigning a value from a property
site="Foobar.com"assigns a literal value to another named placeholder,
Using standard HTML comments is supported. These comments will be included in the published site.
$EditForm
However you can also use special SilverStripe comments which will be stripped out of the published site. This is useful for adding notes for other developers but for things you don't want published in the public html.
$EditForm <%-- Some hidden comment about the form --%>
Partial Caching
Partial caching lets you define blocks of your template that are cached for better performance. See Partial Caching for more information.
Base Tag
<% base_tag %> placeholder is replaced with the HTML base element. Relative links within a document (such as
) will become relative to the URI specified in the base tag. This ensures the browser knows where
to locate your site's images and css files. So it is a must for templates!
It renders in the template as
<base href="http://www.mydomain.com" />
Returns the currently logged in member, if there is one.
All of their details or any special Member page controls can be called on this.
Alternately, you can use
<% if $CurrentMember %> to detect whether someone has logged
<% if $CurrentMember %>
Welcome Back, $CurrentMember.FirstName
<% end_if %>
Custom Template Variables and Controls
There are two ways you can extend the template variables you have available. You can create a new database field in your
$db or if you do not need the variable to be editable in the cms you can create a function which returns a value in your
Page.php class.
// mysite/code/Page.php
public function MyCustomValue() {
return "Hi, this is my site";
Will give you the ability to call
$MyCustomValue from anywhere in your template.
I've got one thing to say to you: $MyCustomValue
// output "I've got one thing to say to you: Hi, this is my site"
Your function could return a single value as above or it could be a subclass of ArrayData for example a DataObject with many values then each of these could be accessible via a control loop
// ...
public function MyCustomValues() {
return new ArrayData(array("Hi" => "Kia Ora", "Name" => "John Smith"));
And now you could call these values by using
<% with $MyCustomValues %>
$Hi , $Name
<% end_with %>
// output "Kia Ora , John Smith"
Or by using the dot notation you would have
$MyCustomValues.Hi , $MyCustomValues.Name
// output "Kia Ora , John Smith"
Side effects
All functions that provide data to templates must have no side effects, as the value is cached after first access. For example, this controller method
private $counter = 0;
public function Counter() {
$this->counter += 1;
return $this->counter;
and this template
$Counter, $Counter, $Counter
will render as "1, 1, 1", not "1, 2, 3"
.typography style
By default, SilverStripe includes the
theme/css/typography.css file into the Content area. So you should always include the
typography style around the main body of the site so both styles appear in the CMS and on the template. Where the main body of
the site is can vary, but usually it is included in the /Layout files. These files are included into the main Page.ss template
by using the
$Layout variable so it makes sense to add the .typography style around $Layout.

Calling templates from PHP code
This is all very well and good, but how do the templates actually get called?
Templates do nothing on their own. Rather, they are used to render a particular object. All of the
<% if %>,
<%control %>,
and variable codes are methods or parameters that are called on that object. All that is necessary is
that the object is an instance of ViewableData (or one of its subclasses).
The key is ViewableData::renderWith(). This method is passed a For example, within the controller's default action, there is an instruction of the following sort:
Here's what this line does:
- First
renderWith()constructs a new object:
$template = new SSViewer("TemplateName");
- SSViewer will take the content of
TemplateName.ss, and turn it into PHP code.
- Then
renderWith()passes the controller to
SSViewer::process()will execute the PHP code generated from
TemplateName.ssand return the results.
renderWith() returns a string - the populated template. In essence, it uses a template to cast an object to a string.
renderWith() can also be passed an array of template names. If this is done, then
renderWith() will use the first
available template name.
Below is an example of how to implement renderWith. In the example below the page is rendered using the myAjaxTemplate if the page is called by an ajax function (using Director::is_ajax()). Note that the index function is called by default if it exists and there is no action in the url parameters.
class MyPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
static $allowed_actions = array('index');
public function init(){
public function index() {
if(Director::is_ajax()) {
return $this->renderWith("myAjaxTemplate");
} else {
return Array();// execution as usual in this case...
Fragment Link rewriting
Fragment links are links with a "#" in them. A frequent use-case is to use fragment links to point to different sections of the current page. For example, we might have this in our template.
For, example, we might have this on

Section 1

Section 2

So far, so obvious. However, things get tricky because of we have set our
<base> tag to point to the root of your
site. So, when you click the first link you will be sent to
http://www.example.com/#section1 instead of
In order to prevent this situation, the SSViewer template renderer will automatically rewrite any fragment link that doesn't specify a URL before the fragment, prefixing the URL of the current page. For our example above, the following would be created:

Section 1

Section 2

There are cases where this can be unhelpful. HTML fragments created from Ajax responses are the most common. In these situations, you can disable fragment link rewriting like so:
SSViewer::setOption('rewriteHashlinks', false);
More Advanced Controls
Template variables and controls are just PHP properties and methods on the underlying controllers and model classes. We've just shown you the most common once, in practice you can use any public API on those classes, and extend them with your own. To get an overview on what's available to you, we recommend that you dive into the API docs for the following classes:
- Controller: Generic controller class
- DataObject: Generic model class
- ViewableData: Underlying object class for pretty much anything displayable
Designing reusable templates
Although SilverStripe is ultimately flexible in how you create your templates, there's a couple of best practices. These will help you to design templates for modules, and make it easier for other site developers to integrate them into their own base templates.
- Most of your templates should be
- Build your templates as a Theme so you can easily re-use and exchange them
- Your layout template should include a standard markup structure (

$Layout
)
- Layout templates only include content that could be completely replaced by another module (e.g. a forum thread). It
might be infeasible to do this 100%, but remember that every piece of navigation that needs to appear inside
$Layoutwill mean that you have to customise templates when integrating the module.
- Any CSS applied to layout templates should be flexible width. This means the surrounding root template can set its width independently.
- Don't include any navigation elements in your
Layouttemplates, they should be contained in the root template.
- Break down your templates into groups of includes. Site integrators would then have the power to override individual includes, rather than entire templates.

And then it was time to read the notes of congratulations that came pouring in!
And the next page of the Bride's Book shows the telegrams they received. Telegrams were so popular back then but aren't used anymore. I can imagine it was very exciting to receive a telegram.
Again, my grandmother wrote the address on the telegram, probably so that my mother could send a note of thanks at some point. Having an address will give me good information to research in the future. Interesting that just a few years ago all of these names wouldn't have meant a thing to me but now several are familiar.
|Heartiest congratulations and best wishes
Cecile Cohen Leah Jacbos
|Congratulations and best wishes on this very happy day with many more years
to follow
May Cerkel Marks
It's hard to see here but someone, probably my grandmother, tried to fix the spelling from Jacbos to Jacobs.
|Heartiest congratulations. May all your days be as happy as this one.
Gussie and Paula Levy
|Sincere and hearty congratulations. Long life and happiness.
Mrs. and Mrs. K Simonian
Here's a special one – Aunt Bella was Bella Steen Benas. Bella was my grandmother's cousin and was married to Max Benas, brother of my grandfather's mother. This is my first example of a cross over where my grandparents' relatives married each other. I'll never know for sure but my gut tells me that Bella and Max were the individuals who introduced my grandparents.
|May your wedded life be one continuous honeymoon
Aunt Bella
Uh-oh, here's another example of relatives marrying each other. Lionel Benas was the son of Max and Bella Benas – his wife, Hesper Hertz, was the daughter of Bella's sister, Myrtle Steen, and Harry Hertz.
|May your marriage lot be years of happiness and love
Hesper and Lionel Benas
|We both congratulate you on this wonderful occasion and wish you a
long and happy wedded life
Louise and Jerry Riese
|My sincerest congratulations and best wishes for your continued happiness
Al Mendelson
Lionel Traube was the brother of Natalie Traube Gunzendorfer, wife of my grandmother's brother, Wilton Gunzendorfer.
|Our love and best wishes for many years of happiness
Lionel and Ella Traube
And here's another Levy mystery. My grandmother added Mr. and Mrs. Melville Levy, 1037 N. Fulton, Fresno. Need to add that name to my research to-do list.
|Sincere wishes for much happiness. Sorry cannot be with you
Levy's and Markovits
|Congratulations to you and young couple wishing all abundant happiness
Ethel and Arnold Friend
And this last one is appropriate for two Stanford grads, although I don't know who Indian Ray is. Since back in those days Stanford's mascot was the Indian, I wonder if this has something to do with the mascot.
|Congratulations and best wishes for all the years to come and keep the cardinal waving
Indian Ray
I'm sure all of the people who sent congratulations to my parents in 1950 had no idea their telegram would still be out there today. Who knew?

Proposed features/landcover
|Landcover key
|Proposed (under way)
|Proposed by:
|Applies to:
|Key landcover to enhance description possibilities for areas
|Drafted on:
|RFC start:
This is a proposal to introduce the new key landcover=* which can be used to describe the physical cover of an area (grass, trees etc) as distinct from landuse=* which is used to describe the human use to which the area is put (residential, farm, forest etc) and also distinct from geographical features as described with natural=*. These concepts are orthogonal, in that both a sports pitch and a car park can be covered with grass or asphalt; equally one can have a landcover of grass can be used within a park, a garden, a road verge, an aerodrome or a meadow for gazing cows which are all different landuses.
This distinction reflects the two traditional branches of geography [1]: Physical geography and Human geography. Clearer tagging of the form proposed will facilitate more rigorous scientific uses of OSM in the fields of biology, geography and geology. It will enable scientists to contribute their data to OSM, as well as the use of OSM as a scientific tool.
The current situation
Landuse information is already provided, mainly by landuse=*, but landuses are also covered by amenity=* (car parks, schools, universities, hospitals etc) and by leisure=* (park, recreation ground etc).
Landcover information is already available in OSM, but is spread across many keys - such as landuse, natural and surface. Some values of landuse are actually landcover, for example landuse=grass.
The current tagging makes it difficult to tag some features. For example, a military area which is covered with grass can't be tagged both with landuse=military and with landuse=grass (a natural=meadow is not right, the tag leisure=park is definitely wrong). An area with trees may be primarily being grown for timber and should correctly be tagged with landuse=forest, but often a group of trees will be a 'landcover' (for example within a park or a nature reserve).
This proposal aims to provide a consistent mechanism to resolve some of the most serious semantic inconsistencies in the current tagging scheme and will ensure that it is always possible to provide both a landuse and a landcover for every location.
As of January 2016, landcover=* has 17,912 uses according to taginfo. In September 2018 this has increased to 67,000.
The proposal
The existing landuse=* tag would be retained for human uses of land, including: Economic activities, transportation, construction, tourism, history and culture, industry. Most of the landuse=* definitions currently in use are indeed already a part of this domain, but some tags will need to be transitioned to reflect the more systematic tagging scheme. A 'landuse=highway' should be added to cover land forming part of a road (including carriageway, footways and verges). The 'landuse=grass' tag should be deprecated with landcover=grass taking its place.
The proposed key landcover=* allows a systematic definition of physical geography characteristics including: Geology, soil, ecology, flora, vegetation, climate, landforms and water.
Natural key
The natural key will also be reviewed. Most of the values there actually describe geographic features, as distinct from landcover or landuse. but there is also some exceptions that might be better suited in landcover, for example natural=sand.
The landcover key with the following values:
|taginfo counts
|for any area covered with trees, regardless of it being natural or not, in a forest or in a park/garden, etc.
|for any grass covered area
|not needed, there's natural=water, see below

|uncovered bedrock, sparsely vegetated
pebblestone scree
|mixture of sand, silt and clay (deprecates natural=mud), without or with sparse vegetation
|not sure about this, maybe a compacted=yes or {1/2/3/4/5} would be better
|for areas covered the whole year with ice (see also natural=glacier for ice masses that move on their own)
It would deprecate the following tags:
- natural=mud (replaced by landcover=loam; 3,431 uses)
- natural=sand (replaced by landcover=sand; 14,414 uses)
- landuse=grass (replaced by landcover=grass; >1.1 million uses)
- surface=* (replaced by appropriate landcover values for areas). Surface will be retained for use with line features to assist with routing. The values will however normally have clear relationship with the same value in landcover.
The following tags would need further discussion:
- natural=scrub (>310,000 uses)
- natural=water (it would actually be logical to have landcover=water and natural=lake/sea/ocean... but I am not sure about the benefit of a change to a tag so extensively used. Comments?)
Applies to
Areas, can and should be combined with geographical features (natural) and landuse.
It is up to the renderers what they display, at which zoomlevel, and if they focus on landuse=*, landcover=*, or both or something else.

The Michigan House passes a right-to-work measure Thursday in defiance of angry unions, minority Democrats.
UPDATE: The Michigan House has voted to approve right-to-work legislation for private-sector workers.
House members voted 58-52 to approve the measure Thursday afternoon as hundreds of union activists protested loudly in the state Capitol halls in Lansing. Only Republicans voted in favor.
The Senate is debating similar legislation. Minority Democrats are offering a series of amendments, all of which majority Republicans have voted down.
Police used pepper spray Thursday to subdue protesters trying to rush the Michigan Senate chamber after Gov. Rick Snyder and other Republican leaders announced they would press for quick approval of right-to-work legislation limiting union powers.
Eight people were arrested for resisting and obstructing when they tried to push past two troopers guarding the Senate door, state police Inspector Gene Adamczyk said. The Capitol was closed because of safety concerns, and Adamczyk said Thursday afternoon he wasn't sure when it would reopen.
So-called right-to-work measures generally prohibit requiring unions from collecting fees from nonunion employees, which opponents say drains unions of money and weakens their ability to bargain for good wages and benefits. Supporters insist it would boost the economy and job creation.
Should it become law in Michigan, it would give the right-to-work movement its strongest foothold yet in the Rust Belt region, where organized labor already has suffered several body blows.
Chanting, whistling activists flooded the building and grounds as Snyder and his allies sought quick votes on measures that would prohibit unions from collecting fees from workers who decline union representation. Opponents say right-to-work laws drain unions of money and weaken their ability to bargain for good wages and benefits. Supporters insist the policy is good for the economy and job creation.
The bills were brought to the floors of both chambers for debate Thursday afternoon.
"This is all about taking care of the hard-working workers in Michigan, being pro-worker and giving them freedom to make choices," Snyder said during a news conference with House Speaker Jase Bolger and Senate Minority Leader Randy Richardville.
"The goal isn't to divide Michigan, it is to bring Michigan together," Snyder said.
But the decision to push forward in the waning days of the Legislature's lame-duck session infuriated outnumbered Democrats, who resorted to parliamentary maneuvers to slow action but were powerless to block the bills that were expected to be introduced Thursday.
Protesters waved placards and chanted slogans such as "Union buster" and "Right-to-work has got to go." Adamczyk said the troopers used pepper spray after the people refused to obey orders to stop.
He estimated that about 2,500 visitors were inside the Capitol, where their shouts reverberated off stone halls and frequently could be heard inside the ornate chambers.
After repeatedly insisting during his first two years in office that right-to-work was not on his agenda, Snyder reversed course Thursday, a month after voters defeated a ballot initiative that would have barred such measures under the state constitution.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Snyder said he had kept the issue at arm's length while pursuing other programs to bolster the state economy. But he said circumstances had pushed the matter to the forefront.
"It is a divisive issue," he acknowledged. "But it was already being divisive over the past few weeks, so let's get this resolved. Let's reach a conclusion that's in the best interests of all."
Also influencing his decision, he said, were reports that some 90 companies had decided to locate in Indiana since that state adopted right-to-work legislation. "That's thousands of jobs, and we want to have that kind of success in Michigan," he said.
Snyder and the GOP leaders insisted the legislation was not meant to weaken unions or collective bargaining, saying it would make unions more responsive to their members.
Senate Democratic leader Gretchen Whitmer said she was "livid."
"These guys have lied to us all along the way," she said. "They are pushing through the most divisive legislation they could come up with and the dark of night, at the end of a lame-duck session and then they're going to hightail it out of town. It's cowardly."

The Dallas Cowboys have restructured three contracts this week. Now they're turning to defensive end DeMarcus Ware to help them get under the salary cap.
The team approached Ware's representatives Tuesday about redoing the veteran pass rusher's contract, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because negotiations were to remain private.
Ware, 31, is due $12.75 million in salary and bonuses in 2014 with a cap number of more than $16 million — too much for the Cowboys, who entered the week well above their adjusted cap of $134.28 million.
They cleared $8.5 million with so-called "simple" restructures of the contracts of linebacker Sean Lee and safety Orlando Scandrick, converting portions of their base salaries to signing bonuses. They announced Tuesday they've done the same with quarterback Tony Romo's contract, clearing another $10 million.
Ware signed a six-year contract extension in October 2009 that has been renegotiated three times already, clearing cap space for the Cowboys each of the past three offseasons. This time, he likely is headed for a pay cut if he wants to stick around.
In 13 games last season, Ware had six sacks, the lowest total of his nine-year career.
The deadline for coming into compliance with the 2014 cap is 4 p.m. ET on March 11.

DeKALB – Seth Hild couldn't hold back the excitement.
Once the 13-year-old, donning a matching NIU hat and red windbreaker, saw Northern Illinois ranked as the No. 15 team in the BCS standings on the TV screen at Fatty's Pub, he jumped out of his chair and raised both hands in the air.
"The excitement is overwhelming," Seth, a student at Plano Middle School, said. "Because the last time we've been to an Orange Bowl ... I don't know."
Seth can't recall NIU's last BCS bowl game because it's never happened. The Huskies, who became the first Mid-American Conference team to earn a berth in a BCS bowl game, will take on Florida State, the champion of the Atlantic Coast Conference, on Jan. 1 at the Orange Bowl in Miami.
Many people gathered Sunday night at Fatty's to watch ESPN's BCS Selection Show. The possibility of a BCS berth came into play in the past couple of weeks and the drama culminated with the official announcement Sunday night.
"I follow very, very closely," said Jordan Casey, 23, a senior at NIU. "As soon as I heard last week it was a possibility, I followed very closely."
Reports saying NIU was going to the Orange Bowl had circulated earlier in the afternoon, but a number of people wanted to make sure and watched the official show with their fellow Huskies fans.
Hild came with his parents less than two days after watching NIU defeat Kent State, 44-37, in double overtime to win its second consecutive MAC Championship in Detroit."
"I've been coming to games since the early '80s," said Steve Hild, 41 and Seth's father. "I graduated from NIU in 1995, and we've had season tickets since 2005."
Hild and his wife have been to NIU's past two bowl games, but originally thought they would skip this year's bowl game because of a planned family vacation in the spring.
But when the possibility of an Orange Bowl berth surfaced, the Hilds had to reconsider, and are now trying to plan for Seth to come and attend his first bowl game.
"That's the official story right now," Steve said. "Working with my in-laws trying to figure out a way for all of us to go to Miami. That's something over the next couple days we'll discuss."
At NIU's official news conference Sunday night, NIU athletic director Jeff Compher said he expected NIU fans to travel better to Miami than to any other bowl game, and Casey is another example of the many NIU fans who plan to go to the Orange Bowl.
"My brother went to the University of Florida, so I kind of know how these big bowls go, but to have your small MAC school going, it's pretty neat," Casey said. "I'm going, I'll be in Miami. January 1, I'll be there to watch NIU beat Florida State.

The massive dragnet for a fugitive ex-cop continued Friday, with more than 100 officers conducting a fruitless search in the snowy, forested mountains around Big Bear Lake for an armed gunman who police say is on a vengeful rampage.
As the falling snow piled up, authorities pledged to continue the manhunt until they find Christopher Jordan Dorner, the 33-year-old former Los Angeles police officer suspected of killing three people, or stumble on definitive evidence that he is no longer in the area.
The trail has gone cold since Dorner's Nissan Titan pickup was found Thursday morning engulfed in flames on a U.S. Forest Service dirt road between the Bear Mountain and Snow Summit ski resorts. A set of footprints in the snow led away from the burned truck. It took more than five hours for experts to confirm that it was Dorner's vehicle and search parties to begin a methodical sweep of an area stretching across eight square miles.
While ski-masked SWAT teams went door-to-door checking hundreds of homes and shuttered cabins, other authorities fanned out on foot, slogging through fresh snow with search dogs. The teams combed backcountry and checked every shed, trash bin and barrel where the fugitive could hide. Dorner is described as African American, 6 feet tall and 270 pounds.

House at the End of the Street
Seeking a fresh start, newly divorced Sarah (Oscar®-nominee Elisabeth Shue; Leaving Las Vegas, Piranha 3D) and her daughter Elissa (Oscar®-nominee Jennifer Lawrence; X-Men: First Class, Winter's Bone) find the house of their dreams in a small, upscale, rural town. But when startling and unexplainable events begin to happen, Sarah and Elissa learn the town is in the shadows of a chilling secret.
Years earlier, in the house next door, a daughter killed her parents in their beds, and disappeared - leaving only a brother, Ryan (Max Thieriot, My Soul to Take), as the sole survivor. Against Sarah's wishes, Elissa begins a relationship with the reclusive Ryan - and the closer they get, the deeper they're all pulled into a mystery more dangerous than they ever imagined.

You guys…I got a job. I'm really proud of myself actually. I had a lot of motivational talks from my husband and mother-in-law which helped so much. I really can't thank them enough. Also – thanks to everyone that helped pick out my interview outfit and to all of the readers that have wished me luck!
I haven't worked for about two years now and it was really hard for me to get back into it. I didn't realise how hard change is for me until the night before the interview. It meant a new place and maybe even a house, finally learning how to drive on the other side of the road, routine, growing up for real and finally settling in England. These are all good things and I don't know why I kept myself from them for so long.
For those of you that are struggling to find a job, I know how sucky it is and how low it can make you feel. Keep trying and stay positive. And for those of you that hate interviews…revise revise revise. They are pretty scary to me so you are not alone.
Ask a friend or someone you feel comfortable with to do mock interviews with you over and over again. Mix the questions up and have your answers in front of you just so you can go back and wont feel stuck. I even brought them in a an organized binder to the interview. I had them right on my lap but just in case. Fortunately I didn't even glance at them but it was nice to know they were there and the person or people interviewing you will appreciate that you came prepared. My Mother-in-law also told me to breathe deeply to ease anxiety. She gave me a little glass pebble, said it was confidence and to keep it in my pocket. After the interview I realised I had forgotten to bring it with me but after all of the positive thoughts, pep talks and preparation I guess I had it all along.
So I know it's about damn time but for some people it takes longer than others. Anyone have any good tips on how to prepare for an interview or to get your confidence back after not working for so long?

Lipscomb head coach Scott Sanderson announced the signings of John Ross Glover from the University School of Jackson in Jackson, Tenn., and Charles Smith from Southwind High School in Memphis, Tenn., to National Letters of Intent during the fall early signing period.
Glover was the 2011 TSSAA Division II Mr. Basketball recipient as a junior. He was a finalist his sophomore year. He averaged 22.7 points and 7.8 rebounds last year as a junior
"John Ross can shoot the three, shoot a mid-range jumper and put the ball on the floor," said Sanderson. "He's strong and athletic. He can play multiple positions and will fit well into our team."
Glover was named to the 2010 and 2011 All-State teams by the Tennessee Sports Writers Association and has won numerous regional awards.
Sanderson credited Glover's success to his work ethic.
"He gets up early every morning to lift weights and shoot," said Sanderson. "For a 17-year-old it's hard to be disciplined enough to do that on his own and we like that component which he'll bring to our team next year."
Smith is a 6-foot-9, 190-pound forward/center with a tremendous upside. He plays alongside several high-major Division I prospects at Southwind.
"Charles is a unique player," said Sanderson. "He's very athletic, a good runner, and he can rebound the ball and block shots."
Sanderson believes that Smith has all the elements needed to be a great player but he need to get stronger.
"He knows that he has to get stronger and that's a process that takes time. He has a whole year before he plays college basketball. His contribution early on depends on how hard he works over the next year."
"Charles is another great person who will fit well at Lipscomb."
Both Glover and Smith will be freshmen at Lipscomb for the 2012-13 season.
The Bison open their regular season Friday at 7:15 p.m. against Fort Valley State. The game will be broadcast on 102.5 The Game presented by Jackson and on ASun.TV.

text: Hello dear fellow programmers I'm having some issues with the ISPConfig API, the question is really specific and I couldn't find anything with the search function. I hope it's in the right theme, otherwise sorry in advance. My webapplication is creating the Domainname and DNS-Entries for a site which is generated by the users input. The sites are on a toplevel domain (f.e.: thisissite.thisistoplevel.com) and I can call them without problems if I add the "www" in front. Without www in front the site isn't recognized (tested with nslookup). A site which I created manually in ISPConfig is working though, that's what's really strange to me! My questions: Are there different ways to create DNS-Entries with the API? Am I overlooking something? Are my settings correct? Entries which I have for thissite.thistoplevel.com: Type Name Data A mail IP Server A thissite.thistoplevel.com. IP Server A www IP Server MX thissite.thistoplevel.com. IP Mailserver NS thissite.thistoplevel.com. Nameserver If you need more information, please ask, I'm not into DNS-stuff that much, so I'm a bit clueless now. Thank you so much for helping in advance!
