I finally got the import-mt.php import file that comes with the default WordPress installation to work. Whew! What a long and hard ride, but I learned a lot and I hope you will find some lessons here, too.
Some of the following information might be a little redundant, but if you are finding this page first, and not reading through all my previous attempts YET, then this article will be of more value than the others. I do recommend you take a peek at them as you will learn a whole lot about this process.
The magic of making the import for MoveableType work for static HTML pages having consistent formatting on every page. On my original pages, every title was in an H2 heading which is never used elsewhere on the page. The author is also in a unique
div, as is the
content and
footer, and so on. The more uniform your page's code layout, the easier this process will be.
First, copy your HTML code to a text editor. If you use Word or WordPerfect or other word-processing program, you are asking for mistakes unless you are an expert at tweaking that program so it will not convert quote marks or hyphens into character codes, will not screw up your html tags, and – well, if you know what I'm talking about, you can use a word processor. If you don't – don't use one. Trust me. You are only asking for totally borked code. So get a powerful text or html editor and you are good to go.
The only criteria, and this makes things a little more difficult, is that the program should have extensive search and replace capabilities, specifically searching and replacing multiple lines of text.
During this process, we recommend you make many backups along the way for you will make mistakes. It's part of the process. Make many and frequent backups. Name the backups by the date and time so you can easily go back to the most recent one if you make a mistake.
During the extensive search and replace process to turn your html document into the form needed for the
import-mt, your goal is to emulate the following example of the end result you need in order to import your data using this import technique that emulates the MoveableType import/export format. The information MUST BE IN THIS EXACT ORDER AND LAYOUT.
AUTHOR: Author Name
TITLE: Title of the Post or Article
STATUS: Publish
PRIMARY CATEGORY: Home
CATEGORY: About
<Article text is here with html and all kinds of information including html using quotes lots of lists and other information....on and on to the end.

A rattling on of the article information.

Comment here that rattles on about something important.
AUTHOR: Silly Person
TITLE: Some Fascinating Idea
STATUS: Publish
.....and it continues on.
Begin The Process
Copy each html page into the editor and put an 8 dashed line (——–) in between each html page, taking advantage of the
doctype or
 that begins every web page to use for your search and replace. This dashed line is the divider between your "records" (individual web pages).
Now, we are going to use that 8 dash line as our starting point for the next search and replace sequence. Search for the 8 dashes followed by a hard return (line break):
and replace it with the 8 dashes, the hard return (line break) and the following:
AUTHOR: Author Name
TITLE: Title of the Post or Article
STATUS: Publish
PRIMARY CATEGORY: Home
Between BODY and the line above is a five dash line (—–). This is the separator between fields.
Adjust the information to your needs. Some of this information may need to be individually searched and replaced. For example, my articles have the author name in a unique DIV, so I searched and replaced:

Author Name

AUTHOR: Author Name
Replacing "Author Name" with the correct name.
At the end of the post, before comments and other information, at the end of the post information, search and replace the post ending code with a five dash line. For example, I had a DIV that states:

Next Article: Article Name 42

This is consistent (with a different file name) at the end of every article, so I could easily replace:

with the 5 dash line as the field separator:
Now, you will have a lot of excessive information still left in your file, meta tags, sidebar information, CSS, and other lines of code that you won't need any more. If they are consistent, search and replace to get rid of them. If they aren't, get rid of as much as you can and then you will have to clean up the rest manually.
HTML Meets XHTML
To make sure that everything is XML compliant and ready for WordPress, I went through and checked all the code. Here are a list of my search and replaces:

 -->

 --<

- Curly Quotes to text quotes (no character codes only quote marks)
- Curly Apostrophes to plain apostrophes (no character codes only apostrophes)
[hyphen] --> -(hard encoded dash – usually formed by holding down the Cntrl+hyphen key)
- Double Blank Lines
-->Single Blank Lines
imgtag endings from
" />(inspect each one before changing as
">is found on hyperlinks)
These are the most common. Your html code may be different, so either have it converted using special software or manually inspect for your own needs.
Manually Check the Data
Besides checking for XML and non-friendly WordPress characters, I go through the data and clean up things that either might mess up the import, or that just need cleaning.
For instance, occasionally I would break a title into two lines with a line break. This won't work, so I manually had to go through and clean those out. I sometimes also use ID in the DIV such as
 which would be missed in a simple
 search and replace. This has to be caught and corrected.
Other code, tags, and information that didn't belong any more, and that wasn't consistent across multiple pages, had to be deleted. This is time consuming, but it has to be removed.
When you think you have it all cleaned up, you probably don't. Go through every bit of data and double check it. As you go, you will need to fill in the "missing" information from your earlier search and replaces. Check the following:
- Author
- Enter the name(s) of the article or post author(s). If these names deviate in any way from the spelling of the WordPress administrator, new Author User Profiles will be created and the maximum permission level these users will have is 9. By ignorance, I set my User Profile name to be "Lorelle" and yet my import listed "Lorelle VanFossen". "Lorelle" has level 10 top administrator status, but "Lorelle VanFossen" is stuck at user level 9. Do check your name carefully if you are the only author so your posts will be put into the administrator's name.
- Title
- Add the title for each article or post. Think about the post title as you add it. If you choose to use permalinks, these will become the new link titles for your post. If your title was "Another Day at the Office" the permalink would become:
If this is the point of the post, leave it. If the story of the post is about the copy machine breaking down and your attempts to confront its innards results in a burst of toner that covers you from head to toe and the panic that followed, maybe the title should be more fitting and be "Assaulted by Copier" or something more memorable.
- You have two choices for your post status: publish or draft. If "'draft"' is chosen, the post will be added to your draft post list and you can access and edit it from the Write Post screen from a link below the menu tabs. If you choose "'publish"' the post will be immediately viewable after import on your website.
- You have two choices here, too. If you put the number 1 here, comments will be open. If you use a number 0, comments for this post will be closed. You can open them later, and it's recommended that you set them to be closed until you have finished all the editing and checks after the import has been made, or people might be writing comments about how messed up the post is and you will spend more time checking comments than cleaning up your site. It's up to you.
- Again, you have two value choices. To not convert breaks, use 0, and to convert breaks, use 1.
- To allow pings, use the value 1, and to turn them off on this post, use 0.
- You have two choices for your categories, a primary category and a subcategory, called "category". WordPress uses parent categories and the subcategories are also known as children categories. If your post has only one category, list it here. The category can be one or more words with spaces or dashes in between, but no commas or other characters.
- Category
- If your post is also in a subcategory or is a child category, state the subcategory here. If the post isn't in a subcategory, remove this line.
- Date
- Manually edit the date based upon the American format of month/date/year and include the time as follows:
If you want a different date format, that is controlled from within WordPress. WordPress sorts posts chronologically from most recent to oldest. If dates aren't important to your content, they are important to creating an order to the posts in a series. Posts which run in series should be dated as follows:
Article 1 March 15 Article 2 March 14 Article 3 March 13 Article 4 March 12 Article 5 March 11 Article 6 March 10
This way, the order is preserved even if the dates are unimportant.
Recheck Manually
Eyes get tired going through all this data, but take time to rest them by saving this information and then coming back to it at least six hours later. Overnight is even better. This way, you are refreshed and ready to look at all of this with new eyes.
Look for little details that might have gotten forgotten or missed in the first manual edits. Stray unwanted code might have been missed, a title or author forgotten, or some other detail. Go through it all with a mental magnifying glass to see if you can catch anything that you don't want or that might get in the way of the import.
Make sure that every web page record has the record divider of the 8 dashes and the fields are separated by 5 dashes. If anything is blank, delete it. Leave only the barest essentials you need for the import.
If you are really serious about this, spell check your post content and then do one more thorough edit to see if there is anything more than can be cleaned up.
With the HTML inside of the post content, make sure that all the tags are still there, and all open tags are closed and all self-closing tags are closed.
Things You Need To Know
A lot of questions come up during these imports and here are a few of them with the answers:
- What about my intra-site links?
- Intra-site links are links within a post or article that link to another one on your site. Leave them. They will import just fine and you can later either manually edit them to the correct URL address or redirect the links through the use of the .htaccess file rewrites and redirects.
- Will quote marks or apostrophes halt my import?
- Unlike an import directly into the MySQL database, WordPress's import-mt process ignores quotes and apostrophes in the post content section so they will import without any problems. Just leave them alone.
- What about links to my graphics and photographs? Will I lose them?
- If you leave your graphics and photographs in the same folders that they currently reside in, and remove the relative links to them, so instead of the image link being:
You remove the dots and slashes to the following, if
photosis in your site's root folder:
If it isn't, then add the parent folder before
photosfolder with a forward slash in front of it. If you keep all your graphics and photographs in specific folders, this can be easily changed later, after the import, if you have problems seeing the images.
- What will happen to my styles listed in the
headof each web page?
- If you have any styles listed in the
headof any web pages, this information must be moved into the core
style.CSSfor the WordPress Theme you are using, or set into another separate style sheet that you can add later using one of the many WordPress conditional tags within the WordPress PHP Loop. If it is not saved, it will be lost, as such information must be removed from the import file.
Any inline styles such as:

will remain undisturbed so you can leave them.
- Will it import duplicate posts?
- By default, the WordPress import scripts will not import duplicate posts, saving you a lot of time and effort to track those down.
Begin the Import
Once you have triple checked your import document, and your concerns have been answered, then it is time to put WordPress'
import-mt.php to work.
Save the file as
import.txt, making sure that the file is indeed a text file and not any other type. Upload the file to the
wp-admin folder on your WordPress site. Then direct your browser to the following address, using your specific website information:
The rest of the process is up to WordPress.
If you do get an error, it is usually very specific so you can track it down. Or not all of the posts will import. It will show you the list of what has been imported. If some haven't been imported, this is usually because the 8 and 5 dashes lines weren't set right, or there is some other detail that is not right in the import file, like "category" being misspelled. Carefully check that post against the other ones to help find the error.
If you find the error, you can either copy and paste that page record into its own
import.txt file and repeat the import, or reimport the fixed original
import.txt files, as WordPress will not permit duplicate posts to be imported. The fixed post will be imported and the rest should be ignored.
If you are really having trouble with a particular post, then manually add it to WordPress through the Administration Write Post screen, copying each bit of information into the right spot.
If it worked great and everything imported, then it's time to start checking the results in WordPress. To view the new material, type your site's URL in the browser and crawl around looking. There may be a few little bits and pieces that aren't right, but you can now go into the WordPress Admin area and edit your posts to clean up these details. As long as they are in the database, you can do anything you want with them.
Our goal as been achieved!

Dining Room Color Combo: Hot Pink, Yellow, and Green
What's fun, fresh, and colorful all over? Pink, yellow, and green dining rooms! I've been a fan of this color combo lately in all its forms: hot pink with emerald green, coral pink with lemon yellow and a touch of greenery, pale pink with mint and a little sunshine yellow. Sometimes one color is dominant, with peeks of the complimentary colors, while other times they're all mixed seamlessly together for a vibrant, eye-catching look. How do you like it?

text: Milk Quality & Safety: Cooling and Pasteurization are Critical February 20, 2014 12:40 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email By: Alvaro Garcia, Professor & Dairy Specialist, SDSU Extension Milk is rarely in the news as a food that causes health concerns. The main reason for this has been the strict sanitary control points from farm to table. Two aspects of milk handling have been critical for this happen: milk cooling, and pasteurization. Before the 1880s, no farm in the U.S. had access to electricity, and until the 1930s very few were able to incorporate it. It was well-known then that milk had to be kept cool for it to be preserved adequately. Small farmsteads cooled it by placing the container in the cellar, lowering the bucket into the well, or in metal milk storage cans placed in cold water. President Roosevelt established the Rural Electrification Administration in 1935 to help farmers meet the growing demand for electricity. Rural electrification and increased availability of motor vehicles after the First World War encouraged bulk transport of milk to minimize inefficient handling. In the 1950's bulk storage tanks began replacing milk cans for on farm storage and allowed farmers to cool their milk while awaiting pickup by a larger milk truck. While important, milk cooling alone did not guarantee a safe product. Bacteria in cooled milk are "dormant" waiting for the right conditions to proliferate. They need warm temperatures and food to "wake up" and grow, both of which they find in warm milk and inside the human body. Healthy humans can fight them off to a certain extent; on the other hand not so much children, the elderly and those with compromised immunity. In the 1800's raw milk was responsible for 25% of all foodborne outbreaks in the U.S. In 1892 German immigrant's Nathan Straus and his wife Sara privately funded the Pasteurized Milk Laboratory in New York to offer safe pasteurized milk to children to combat infant mortality. In 1903 child mortality was 15% across the US whereas in New York it had already dropped to 7% by early 1900. Straus was the leading proponent of pasteurization which at the time helped eliminate hundreds of thousands of deaths per year due to milk-borne illnesses. Generations have passed since milk was responsible for the majority of foodborne illnesses. We have lost the collective memory of what it meant to our grandparents and nowadays we almost take food safety for granted. Between 1973 and 1992 the number of raw milk-originated outbreaks was 2.4 per year. Over the last 20 years, the consumption of raw milk products has increased, and with it the undesired outcome. The risk of foodborne disease has increased between 1993 and 2006. Outbreaks associated with raw milk consumption have more than doubled (5.2 per year) compared to those between 1973 and1992. Research from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) shows the rate of raw milk outbreaks and products made from it was 150 times greater than those linked to pasteurized milk. Outbreaks of foodborne diseases originating from raw milk reported by the CDC seem to be just the tip of the iceberg. Analytical data from one decade (2001-2010) of surveillance revealed that 3.7% of patients with sporadic, domestically-acquired gastrointestinal infections had reported raw milk consumption. Children were the ones most affected with 76 percent of those five years of age or less having been served raw milk from their farm or that of a relative's. Severe illness was observed, including Hemolytic uremic syndrome (rupturing of red blood cells) among 21% of Escherichia coli 0157-infected children with one death reported. The number of individuals with sporadic laboratory-confirmed infections associated with raw milk consumption was 25 times greater than outbreaks reported by the CDC in the state. Based on these results the report concludes that 17 percent of raw-milk consumers in Minnesota had become ill with gastrointestinal pathogenic bacteria. It becomes clear from this study that outbreaks reported by the CDC are only a fraction of illnesses associated with raw milk consumption. Seatbelt laws are not written to infringe on U.S. citizens liberties nor have policemen write tickets when we don't wear them. Milk pasteurization is also in place to protect the public from potentially life-threatening health issues. This well-proven and safe food processing technique has helped create a partnership of trust among producers, industry, and consumers. As of lately fluid milk consumption has been constantly and steadily decreasing among the U.S. population. Raw milk sales and any resulting outbreaks will challenge this reputation and undermine the confidence placed in one of the pillars of a highly nutritious diet. Back to news

SPS Show: Siemens puts a new face on interfaces
Siemens put a new face on industrial automation interfaces at the SPS Show in Nuremburg, Germany.
The Siemens Totally Integrated Automation Portal uses engineering software to allow rapid development and commissioning of automation systems. Siemens officials at the packed press conference at Nuremburg Messe said the TIA Portal allows deployment of systems much quicker, which will lead to lower development costs. It also stands as the company's new standard for all future software engineering packages for configuring, programming and commissioning automation and drives products in the Totally Integrated Automation portfolio from Siemens.
"We started with TIA in 1995 to define joint software tools, joint interfaces and to make sure we have data consistency across these interfaces," said Anton Huber, CEO of Siemens Industry Automation. "A couple of years ago, we started to think of next step we needed to take to help customers deal with their workflow. What we did was to sit with customers and discuss their requirements to find ways to engineer a cost-effective way to optimize workflows."
According to the Siemens press release, "the TIA Portal framework provides advanced shared services across all the configuration interfaces ensuring uniform navigation for the user and consistent system behavior. For example, all devices and networks in any automation system can now be configured within one shared device and network editor."
"What is benefit to customer?" Huber said. "With workflow supported engineering, engineering effort goes down dramatically today, and with systems in the future, they can save 25% in hardware and software. Workflow-oriented engineering systems can realize up to 45% cost savings in engineering costs."
At the same press conference Drive Technology CEO Klaus Helmrich talked about the influence Siemens has had on worldwide drives standards, and the potential of energy savings with industry-wide adoption of drive technology improvements.
"In Germany, industry consumes 47% of the total energy used, and 70% is in motors and drives," Helmrich said. "In our installed base in Germany, that's 38 billion kWh, and 24 million tons of CO2."
"It is not enough to confront our customers that there are components that can help them. It is helping them understand the solution," he said. "Working together with our customer, we can optimize their energy use. When talk about 35 million installed motors in Germany, this is a field on which we could focus. This does include a lot of savings potential on the operations side. This taps great savings potential for an organization."
Helmrich pointed to savings of $240,000 at a Kraft Foods plant in Germany, a project that will deliver ROI in less than three years. "People are looking at energy efficiency and optimization. Leading companies are emphasizing this. Clearly our customers are focusing much more on energy efficiency," Helmrich said. "We are promoting the integration between drive technology and control technology level."

Federal financial aid plays a crucial role in the ability for many students to go to college, but studies show that millions of students from low-income and underserved families don't receive the aid they need because they fail to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Continue Reading Below
"That can mean the difference between going to college or not--a decision that could potentially be worth a million dollars in income over the course of a lifetime," says Carolyn Berkowitz, managing vice president of Community Affairs at Capital One.
According research from Sallie Mae, 20% of undergraduate families did not submit the FAFSA for the 2011 academic year and half said they did not complete the form because they were not aware or did not think they would qualify for aid.
It's especially important that low-income families receive the appropriate amount of aid because the stakes are high. First-year college students who apply for federal student aid are 72% more likely to persist through college than their peers who are eligible for this aid but do not apply, according to Berkowitz.
"Lower-income families are more likely to be eligible for more aid so they want to file that aid as awarded according to deadlines on a first come, first serve basis," says Karen McCarthy, spokesperson for the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. "If they make sure that they're filing it early, then they'll be in the loop and open to consideration for the maximum amount of aid that they're eligible for."
For low-income families who have not yet filed their FAFSA, here are four tips to ensure the process goes smoothly and to avoid leaving money on the table.
Tip No. 1: Prepare All Necessary Documents
Preparation is key for filling out the FAFSA properly and families should have all the necessary personal and financial information on hand, including Social Security numbers and tax records for both students and their parents, as well as the students' list of college choices.
Income questions on the FAFSA are generally pulled from a tax return, but if a family's income is low enough that they have not filed a tax return, a W-2 can be used in some cases instead, says McCarthy.
"It's not a requirement [for the FAFSA] that you file a tax return, you are actually required to do one by IRS rules, but if you have not filed a tax return and you are not required to, you'll just use information off any W-2s that you have," she says.
Tip No. 2: Hit Every Deadline
Because aid is administered on a first come, first serve basis, low income families are advised to file as early as possible.
"For the federal program, the deadline is really any time from now through the end of the academic year for which you are applying for aid, whereas in different states, there are specific deadlines," says Patricia Nash Christel, spokesperson for Sallie Mae.
To avoid missing out on additional aid from the state the student lives in or where they will be attending college, families should check out this link.(http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/deadlines.htm)
Tip No. 3: Determine Custodial Parent in Families of Divorce
Although one parent in families of divorce may earn less income than the other parent, the FAFSA form is clear that students should report the income of the "custodial" parent, the parent who was granted primary custody after the divorce, says Kim Nauer, education project director for the Center for NYC Affairs at The New School.
"In some cases, parents are granted equal custody, meaning the student could live with one parent 50% of the time and the other parent 50% of the time," she says. "In these cases, the FAFSA form asks the student to do an honest assessment of where he or she spent the most time in the prior year--it is that parent's income that should be reported."
To avoid errors, Nauer suggests reaching out to FAFSA's hotline to get further advice from advisors on how to file in cases of divorce. (https://fafsa.ed.gov/contact.htm)
Tip No. 4: Look for Additional Help
Families should seek out the many financial aid resources available to them to ensure they are filing as accurately as possible.
"Families have a number of options, such as consulting FAFSA: The How-To Guide for High School Students (And the Adults Who Help Them), which is a practical online tool…to help families decode the application and answer common and uncommon questions that can be tricky and potential stumbling blocks," Berkowitz says.
Colleges and nonprofit organizations will often have financial aid workshops available to members of the community who are seeking additional assistance, says McCarthy.
"If you've missed that or your community doesn't have those types of events, you can always seek assistance from a financial aid office at any school or a school you are applying to for assistance."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT men's fencing team concluded its season in the familiar confines of the Johnson Athletic Center as it hosted the NCAA Northeast Regional on Sunday. Daniel Levine recorded the best performance for the Engineers as he finished in 10th place in foil. The rookie became the fourth foilist in the program's history to secure a top-10 finish and the first since Jason Chen in 2007.
Benjamin Nield and Richard LaGrandier rounded out the foil squad with finishes of 20th and 26th, respectively. Matt Gethers paced the epee team with a 13th place finish, narrowly missing the cut for the national championship. Gabriel Chan and Carter Chang followed with rankings of 24th and 26th. MIT's sabre contingent placed closely together, with Maximilian Brand leading the way at 21st as Igor Kopylov finished right behind him. Rangarajan Nadadur completed the squad with a ranking of 26th.

Almighty Doer of Stuff wrote:"His and her"? In addition to being a Pastafarian, I don't suppose you're also a follower of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow?
I included her for two reasons firstly, despite years of research I am still unable to determine the sex of pasta (any help in resolving this matter would be gratefully received) and secondly (and of far greater importance) I do not wish to be confronted by angry cutlass weilding female Pastafarians.
I'm not familiar with the Nine-Headed Cave Cow (is there any connection with the Cult of the Dead Cow?), however if you can provide me with any information I'm sure I can include it into my religious schedule. Tuesday is probably the best day for me for any additional worship (the weekend being entirely taken up by the Abrahamic faiths).

The NFL has contacted all 32 NFL head coach -- yes, even the interim guys -- to remind them of the rules in place to keep the respective benches free of cheating creative ideas similar to the one employed by the New York Jets last week against the Dolphins.
Coach Tony Sparano received the heads up from the NFL Football Operations Department in the last 24 hours.
The memo from the NFL reminds all coaches of the following:
- Each organization is responsible for appointing a "get-back" coach. This individual must be aware of all sideline restrictions and will be responsible for insuring that your team and staff are in compliance.
- Violations could subject your team and/or individuals to both in-game penalties and other disciplinary action. Flagrant violations after two warnings could result in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Discipline, including fines and suspensions, may be imposed by the League Office when appropriate.
- Pages A75-A76 of the Policy Manual for Member Clubs, Vol. II, Game Operations specifically state:
Team personnel in the bench area must observe the zone restrictions in the three areas — (1) the first border or white stripe; (2) the second border; and (3) the player area. Violations of the zone restrictions are subject to fine at the discretion of the Commissioner and game officials have been directed to call unsportsmanlike conduct penalties when warnings to clear the first border areas are not heeded. Safety and officiating access are the prime consideration…
First Border — The only persons allowed in this solid white six-foot (minimum) area on a continuous basis during the game are the Game Officials and the chain crew; no coaches or players.
Second Border — … [extends to solid yellow line within the bench area that is six feet from the solid white border.] Within the bench area, the only persons allowed within this second border on a continuous basis during the game are the head coach, assistant coaches involved in calling signals, assistant coaches in charge of substitutions, and small groups of situation substitution players ready to be sent into the game immediately. No other players are allowed in the second border. Each coaching staff should designate a "get-back" coach to ensure that the rules governing the borders are observed by all players and coaches during the game.
Players & Bench Personnel — Except for those persons allowed in the first and second borders, all other persons with bench credentials and all players not in the game at the time shall remain in the bench area behind the second border.
- Additionally, on page A77, the policy states:
While play is in progress, there will be no coaches or players within the white border, thus avoiding possible interference with officiating of the game. In the six-foot area between the back of the white border and the solid yellow line, only the following persons will be permitted: the Head Coach, Assistant Coaches involved in calling defensive or offensive signals, Assistant Coaches in charge of substitutions, and only those small groups of players ready to be sent into the game immediately (offensive or defensive packages).
The game officials will issue warnings during the game regarding first and second border violations and work with the team's "get-back" coach to prevent problems, and will call unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in cases of flagrant violations after two warnings…The League office may impose discipline on clubs for a first violation of the border rules, followed by increasing fines for subsequent violations.
- Rule 13, Section 1, Article 5 of the Official NFL Playing Rules provides as follows:
"Coaches and other non-participating team personnel (including uniformed players not in the game at the time) are prohibited from moving laterally along the sidelines any further than the points that are 18 yards from the middle of the bench area (i.e., 32-yard lines to left and right of bench areas when benches are placed on opposite sides of the field). Lateral movement within the bench area must be behind the slid six foot white border."
To assist with the enforcement of this rule, effective immediately, all game officials are being instructed not to engage in any prolonged discussion with any coach outside of the permitted zone while play is in progress.
This rule is intended for safety and to avoid possible interference with officiating of the game. That means you will not see coaches arguing with officials for very long, either.

Students unite to serve holiday feast
Students unite to create, serve holiday feast
DANBURY -- Plying the trade they learned at the culinary arts department at Henry Abbott Technical High School, six student chefs stood behind warming trays heaped with turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes Tuesday at Danbury's Alternative Center for Excellence's annual Thanksgiving feast for the community.
Nearby, host students from ACE performed supporting jobs as the partnership between the public alternative high school of about 100 students and the state technical high school in Danbury won praise.
"Tech's culinary arts department has been a wonderful addition to our ACE community Thanksgiving," veteran ACE English teacher Nancy Berman said Tuesday, at the start of the lunchtime feast. "This is the second year of this wonderful collaboration, which brings together two terrific schools, and we are hoping to collaborate with them on other events."
This event originated shortly after ACE opened in 1977 as a way to thank the community for supporting the school. The program combines small classes and service learning in a more personal setting than at the city's primary high.
In the early years of the dinner, students cooked the donated turkeys at home. Later, the school's lunch service prepared the feast and last year, ACE and Abbott Tech combined their efforts.
ACE students collected the donated food, set up the school for dining, bussed tables and served dessert. Abbott Tech students cooked and served the main meal.
"It's good we get to show other people what we learned, and to show our school in a positive way and help out the community, which is what I love," Abbott Tech senior Christopher Joseph, 16, of Danbury, said.
Classmate Jesse Purdy, 17, of New Milford, said she was glad to introduce ACE students to the culinary field.
"I love trying to be an inspiration," she said. "I want them to see that this is fun and a great thing to do."
The dinner was headed up by Abbott Tech chef and instructor Justin Williams, who also runs the school's restaurant.
Stew Leonard's, Omaha Beef, Dandy Distributors, Costco and A&P Super Foodmart donated food. The 24 turkeys and 300 potatoes served more than 400 people.
Williams said the schools will explore collaborations on cooking and healthy living.
ACE Principal Linda Schreiner said she looks forward to future events.
"Our students are being inspired by the skills and knowledge base the Abbott Tech students have, and they can become more curious about careers like culinary,'' Schreiner said, as she praised Williams for his work as teacher and chef.
Seventeen-year-old ACE senior Jessica Pacheco complimented her peers from Abbott Tech.
"They're doing a great job. They're very professional," she said. "It's fun that they can come help us. We can't cook the food, so it's great having a school with the power to do it. We can give those students real-life experience and they help us, too."
ACE English teacher Joanne Tolles said having the students work together combines their strengths.
"Abbott Tech has all the technical skills,'' she said. "We have the energy, creativity and the ability to think out side the box for certain events."

BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Beavers shocked the HCAC and the pollsters around the country by taking down the #9 ranked Franklin College Grizzlies on Saturday, Nov. 9, after a late 44-yard touchdown grab by Donovan Brown (Cincinnati/Purcell Marian) broke a 17-17 tie and helped the Beavers cap their first win over a top 10 opponent in school history, 24-17. 17 points are the fewest the Grizzlies offense, which averaged 51.3 points per game heading into Saturday, has scored all year, including contests with #1 Mount Union and Butler University. The defensive efforts of Mike Shroyer (Pataskala/Watkins Memorial) and Josh Runda (Lima/Bath) were a huge factor as both seniors racked up 16 tackles on Senior Day.
Bluffton got on the board first after senior Shawn Frost (Mt. Gilead) caught a screen pass from freshman quarterback Connor Sheehan (Monroeville, Ind./Heritage) and took it 73 yards to paydirt. Sophomore Zach Rader (Van Buren) converted the PAT and the Beavers took a 7-0 lead into the second quarter.
In the second period, Rader answered a Franklin field goal with one of his own, connecting from 25 yards out to give the Beavers a 10-3 spread at the 6:08 mark. Franklin was able to answer with 22 seconds left in the half on a Jonny West rush from nine yards out to knot the score at 10-10 heading to the break.
Bluffton held Franklin scoreless again in the third quarter and took the lead after Sheehan went in from a yard out on a quarterback sneak which helped the Beavers to a 17-10 lead heading into the final 15 minutes of action.
It wasn't until late that Franklin was finally able to tie the score again when Kole Stogner found the end zone on a three-yard run with 3:44 remaining in the game. The Beavers were only able to run 1:43 off the clock before having to punt the ball, giving the Grizzlies possession on their own 26 yard-line with 1:57 on the clock and three timeouts remaining.
West completed 4-of-5 passes to help Franklin get to their own 45 before the quarterback fumbled a snap into the arms of Bluffton defensive end Ryan Leopold (Ottawa/Ottawa-Glandorf), giving the Beavers possession on their own 47 yardline with 1:04 left on the clock.
After an incomplete pass on the first play of the drive and a 13-yard toss to senior C.J. Sewell (Lima/Shawnee) on the second, Sheehan heaved a long ball down the left side of the field for a closely guarded Brown. The defender got a hand on the ball, but it bounced Brown's way and landed safely in his arms as he carried it across the goal line for the go-ahead touchdown. Senior Austin Sweeney (Adrian, Mich./Whitmer) converted the extra point to cap a crazy drive, putting the Beavers ahead 24-17 with just 27 ticks left on the clock.
West completed two short passes to All-American Kyle Linville, moving the Grizzlies to their own 48 yardline with six seconds left and time for just one play. West took the snap and rolled to his right, only to be chased down by freshman lineman Linkoln LaRoche (Dola/Hardin-Northern) for a 14-yard sack with no time left on the clock, helping the Beavers become the first team to hand Franklin's seniors a Heartland Conference loss in four seasons.
Sheehan finished the day completing 23-of-38 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns. Frost and Brown hauled in five of those passes apiece. Frost finished with 126 yards and a touchdown while Brown chipped in with 86 yards and the game-winning touchdown. Sheehan's two TD passes helped him add to Bluffton's single-season record as the Beavers have 22 now with one game to play. Eric Fox (Brunswick) led the Beaver rushing attack with 26 yards on 15 carries. The junior also added 21 receiving yards on eight receptions.
Aside from Shroyer and Runda, junior Wyatt Herman (Edgerton) and sophomore Ryan Aelker (New Bavaria/Holgate) had big defensive days while constantly pressuring West, racking up 10 and nine tackles, respectively. Travaun Reeves (Berkely, Mich.) finished with six tackles and a big interception that he returned 25 yards, while Leopold, Ben Schamp (St. Marys/Memorial) and Josh Hadley (Harper Woods, Mich.) also recovered fumbles for the victors.
Although the Grizzlies racked up 463 yards of offense, the Bluffton defense came up huge with four takeaways and nearly a fifth if not for a penalty on the other side of the field that negated a fumble recovered by the Beavers late in the fourth quarter. The Beaver victory will likely force Franklin to defeat rival Hanover College next Saturday to claim a slice of its fifth consecutive Heartland Conference title (with Rose-Hulman) and berth in the NCAA Division III tournament.
The Beavers (3-6, 3-4) will play their final game of the season next week in Defiance at 1:30 p.m., looking to finish at an even 4-4 mark in the conference. Bluffton has had the upper hand recently, winning the last three contests with the rival Yellow Jackets.

Use Your Nexus 7 To Make And Receive Voice Calls Through Google
XDA member bongostl has posted a step-by-step guide for modifying your Nexus 7, or any tablet for that matter, to enable outgoing and incoming calls through Google Voice. This requires the editing of system files, so your tablet needs to be rooted. What this method does is make the tablet think it's voice capable, which allows dialer app voice+ to connect through Google Voice and place a call.
Incoming calls will be handled by any SIP app, such as CSipSimple, which requires you to also set up a call number and routing using other online services such as callcentric and ipkall. Couple all that with Google Voice, an edited and recompiled framework-res.apk file, and the flashing of an update.zip, and you've got yourself a really large tablet-phone in 16 quick and easy steps.
Or you can download GrooVe IP from the Play Store and skip all the rest.
Ok, that was snarky. To be fair, bongostl's method has the advantage that you can still receive calls in your Gmail on your computer, whereas with GrooVe IP, it's one or the other. But seriously, to me this all seems like way too much of a hassle with too many potential points of failure to really be worth it for most people.
Bottom line: Hackers and tweakers only. Everyone else just get GrooVe IP.

When I try to start xfce using sudo startxfce4, I get the no screens found error. I have tried taking crouton off my chromebook and re installed it. It worked one time, but when I restarted my chromebook, it gave me the error again. The error started happening after I updated chrome os.
You don't want to use sudo for this, because that would have you running X *as root,* which is a Very Bad Idea. (The error message you're getting is caused by the fact that you're not actually root.) Just use startxfce4 by itself, and all should be well.

Actually, I think Crouton on the Chromebook works differently. You should probably post over on the Crouton issues forum. From what I understand, you need to enter a chroot before running "sudo startxfce4", but I'm not 100% sure since I've never used Crouton.
A quick search just found this link which suggests either:
sudo startxfce4
sudo enter-chroot startxfce4
Again, probably better to start a thread in their forums for this specific implementation,

Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
The new state management and postback features of ASP.NET are indeed very exciting. They provide developers with a whole new range of mechanisms for producing dynamic Web pages. The ability to write your own custom controls takes that ability to a whole new level, allowing you to write a control with custom functionality that can easily be reused in multiple pages by simply defining custom tags, similar to any other HTML element. The person implementing the layout for a page no longer needs to know all the details of how to write client-side code to get the dynamic behavior that has become so popular. However, there are some pitfalls that developers need to be aware of. ASP.NET promotes server-heavy designs. Network traffic can be dramatically increased as each client-side event can potentially cause a round trip to the server. Many of the effects that result from these frequent trips to the server can easily be accomlished with a few simple JavaScript functions. Calls to the server should be kept to a minimum, with as much being done on the client as possible. By using custom controls to generate client-side script, we can take advantage of Dynamic HTML on the client while still providing a measure of separation between the layout and the logic.
Client-Side Script Generation
One of the goals of generating script from a custom control is to allow a developer to create the control and specify its behavior, and then publish it for others to use without having to know how the code works. We want to encapsulate the implementation of the control and tightly couple the HTML rendering to the script that works with it to reduce the possible points of failure associated with more traditional methods of Web component reuse (such as Cut & Paste, and include files). The most straightforward approach to script generation is to write the script along with the control in the Render method of your control (see Listing 1).
namespace Spotu { public class HelloWorld : Control { protected override void Render ( HtmlTextWriter writer ) { writer.Write(@" "); writer.Write("<button onclick='javascript:HelloWorld()'>" + "Click Me</button>"); writer.Write("

"); } } }
Listing 2 shows an example of a page using the HelloWorld class with client script generation.
<%@ Page language="c#" %> <%@ Register Namespace='Spotu' TagPrefix='spotu' Assembly ='helloworld' %>   <form runat='server'> <spotu:HelloWorld runat='server'/> </form>
Listing 2: Page using the HelloWorld class.
This approach works, and does solve the initial problem of allowing a developer to write a custom control that someone else can use in their page to provide dynamic capabilities without having to post back to the server. However, it is not very elegant, and it does have some shortcomings. Most notably, we cannot include this control in a page multiple times; doing so would cause mutiple divisions to be created with the same ID. Even if we do uniquely name the
 elements in this example, it is still inneficient because the JavaScript gets written out with every reference to this control. This can produce a lot of overhead, transmitting the same script down to the client for each instance of the control.
We need some way to have a control generate script, but generate it only once, even if multiple instances of the control are used on the same page. Fortunately for us, the developers at Microsoft thought of this and provided a way to register a script block to ensure we only write out a section of script once by using the Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock method. This method takes two parameters, an ID that identifies the script block so the Page class will know to ignore any other requests to register the same clock of code, and a string containing the script to be registered. The best place to register the script block is in the Init Event Handler for the control. To take advantage of this event, override the OnInit method of the Control class. With this in mind, the HelloWorld example could be rewritten as shown in Listing 3.
using System; using System.Web; using System.Web.UI; namespace Spotu { public class HelloWorld : Control { protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e) { string strCode = @" "; Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("Spotu_HelloWorld", strCode); } protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer) { writer.Write("<button onclick='javascript:HelloWorld(\"" + this.UniqueID + "\")'>" + "Click Me</button>"); writer.Write("

"); } } }
Listing 3: HelloWorld rewritten to use the register script block.
This approach is much better but there is still a problem. If the script that is being register is lengthy, or if there are a lot of calculations, data accesses, and so forth in generating our script, we will still take a performance hit when the page loads because the control creates this huge block of script that ends up being tossed out because it is already registered. Once a block of script is registered, we can test for it using the
Page.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered method. To improve the performance of the HelloWorld control, we would include the call in out Init handler as shown in Listing 4.
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e) { if (!Page.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("Spotu_HelloWorld")) { string strCode = @" "; Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("Spotu_HelloWorld", strCode); } }
Figure 4: OnInit using the IsClientScriptBlockRegistered test
Using client script generation from custom controls provides a clean encapsulated method of enabling dynamic behavior in Web pages while still shielding the page designer from having to know the details of how to produce the desired effect. Developers are now free to concentrate on how to get a control to do what you want it to do without being bogged down with were to put it on the page, or being pestered by the marketing guy to move a control around, add a new one, or take one away. By combining this approach with designer integration controls, dynamic behaviors can easily be customized and reused across multiple pages with little or no developer interaction and without the pitfalls of server-side includes or cut & paste code reuse.
Some of you might be inclined to ask: How do I cache this script so it doesn't get downloaded every time? After all, client-side script tends to be fairly static, not needing to be downloaded every time a Web page is loaded.
There are a couple of options for caching the output of your control. The ASP.NET approach would be to take advantage of output caching. There are a myriad of output caching options, but most of them place the responsibility of setting up that caching on the person doing the presentation by using directives and flags in the .aspx page. Also, caching the entire page may not be the desired effect. Some pages are extremely dynamic. In such cases, the ideal would be to just cache the control, or some portion of the control. ASP.NET does have some support for this, but that support is reserved primarily for user controls (.ascx files), which doesn't provide the reuse we are looking for.
For custom controls providing generated script, we may want to consider using an external script file. As we have already noted, most script does not change often, if at all and can readily be cached on the client. Instead of writing out the script directly from our custom control, we can instead place the script in an external script file and simply write out a "; Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("Spotu_Calculator", strScriptBlock); string strStyle = "<link rel='stylesheet' " + "type='text/css' href='" + _strStyleHref + "'></link>"; Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("Spotu_Calculator_Style", strStyle); } // End OnInit // Load Event Handler. Retrieve the value posted in the // display field of the calculator so we can keep the // state of the display regardless of how the form is // submitted. protected override void OnLoad ( EventArgs e ) { if (Page.IsPostBack) { _intCalcValue = Int32.Parse(Context.Request.Form[UniqueID + "_display"]); } } // End OnLoad // Render out the control protected override void Render ( HtmlTextWriter writer ) { string strHtml = string.Format(@"

 <input type='text' name='{0}_display' readonly=true value={4}> </input>

{1}7</button>	 {1}8</button>	 {1}9</button>	 {2}/</button>	  <button class='{3}' onclick='javascript:g_{0}.OnClear();'> C </button>

{1}4</button>	 {1}5</button>	 {1}6</button>	 {2}*</button>

{1}0</button>	 	 {1}.</button>	 {2}+</button>	  <button class='{3}' onclick='javascript:g_{0}.OnEqual();'> = </button>

", UniqueID, _strNumButton, _strOpButton, sc_strStyleClass, _intCalcValue); writer.Write(strHtml); writer.Write("<INPUT type='submit' name='" + this.UniqueID + "' value='Save'></INPUT>"); writer.Write("
" + _strSavedValue + "
"); } // End Render } }
Listing 5: calculator.cs
<%@ Page %> <%@ Register Namespace='Spotu' TagPrefix='spotu' Assembly ='calc' %>   <form runat='server'> <spotu:Calculator runat='server'/>
 <spotu:Calculator runat='server'/> </form>
Listing 6: calculator.aspx
function Calc(dispId) { this.intCurrentVal = 0; this.intLastNum = 0; this._op = ""; this.bEqual = false; this.displayId = dispId; this.EnterNumber = function(num) { if (this.bEqual) this.OnClear() if (this.intLastNum != 0) this.intLastNum += num; else this.intLastNum = num; document.all(this.displayId).value = this.intLastNum; } this.ComputeValue = function() { switch (this._op) { case '+': this.intCurrentVal = Number(this.intCurrentVal) + Number(this.intLastNum); break; case '-': this.intCurrentVal -= this.intLastNum; break; case '*': this.intCurrentVal *= this.intLastNum; break; case '/': this.intCurrentVal /= this.intLastNum; break; default: this.intCurrentVal = this.intLastNum; } document.all(this.displayId).value = this.intCurrentVal; } this.OnOperator = function(op) { if (!this.bEqual) this.ComputeValue(); this.bEqual = false; this.intLastNum = 0; this._op = op; } this.OnEqual = function() { this.ComputeValue(); this.bEqual = true; } this.OnClear = function() { this._op = ""; this.intCurrentVal = 0; this.intLastNum = 0; this.bEqual = false; document.all(this.displayId).value = this.intCurrentVal; } }
Listing 7: JavaScript source file for calculator
.calcButton { width=25; }
Figure 8: Stylesheet for calculator buttons
Examining the Code
One item to note is that the reference to the stylesheet that defines the style for the calculator buttons is located in the OnInit method along with the script block registration. Registering blocks of client-side code is not limited to "script" alone. The stylesheet here is external, allowing the designer the ability to modify the look and feel of the buttons by modifying the .css file. Another approach to allowing the page designer to change the look and feel of the calculator would be to implement custom properties, or better yet, custom properties with sub-properties to group them together (example: Font-Style, Font-Size, and so forth). This approach seems somewhat limiting in that the designer then can only change the properties you have exposed. With stylesheets, the designer has all the options available to him/her that would be there if a standard HTML element was being used, options that would otherwise be unavailable because he/she does not have direct access to the HTML elements your custom control produces and would not be able to apply a class or style to them.
There is one block of script that is written out when the control is rendered instead of beign included in the .js file. This allows multiple instances of the calculator control to be used in the same page. The UniqueID property inherited from the Control class is used to differentiate the controls from each other. The UniqueID property is a unique identifier that identifies an instance of a control within a page.
The locations of the stylesheet and the external script file default to an /includes directory located at the virtual application root. However, there are two custom properties provided that allow the designer to override where those file are located.
By using the UniqueID for the control as the name for the submit button, we make sure that the LoadPostData method for our control only gets called when the 'Save' button for that control is clicked. If we had named the text box with the UniqueID for the control, we would end up saving the calculated number for all the controls on the page, regardless of how the submit to the server was done. This example is a little contrived and if you are really serious about reducing server load, you could alter the 'Save' button so that, instead of posting the form back to the server, it does a Web Services call.
Using custom controls to generate client-side script can have tremendous benefits. The custom control will look and behave similarly to any other control written with ASP.NET, making it easy to reuse and shielding the page designer from needing to know the details of how the code works. By using client-side scripting to create the dynamic behaviors, you can greatly increase the responsiveness of the individual pages and the overall performance of your web site by significantly decreasing the number of calls that are made to the server. Using external files for your script has both positives and negatives. The pros include taking advantage of browser caching and easy access for customizability. The cons include a more complex deployment both in the production environment as well as the design time environment.

6.08. The Selachian Gambit
Released February 2012
Behind the Scenes
This story takes place between The Macra Terror and The Faceless Ones.
David Richardson on The Selachian Gambit
"I'm very fond of these Companion Chronicles that feature two companions. We couldn't do them all the time, just because of the budget, but I can wangle them every now and again and I think The Selachian Gambit shows a companion pairing of the best kind.
"I'd enjoyed the Selachians in The Architects of History, and thought they'd work well in a narrated story. And I figured with Frazer playing Jamie, doing his Doctor impersonation and playing the Selachians too, we were on our way to a full cast played by him. As I jokingly said to him afterwards, we got our money's worth!
"Both Frazer and Anneke are terrific in this, and I think Alistair Lock did some amazing sound design and music. It sounds just like a soundtrack from Doctor Who in the mid-1960s. I'm actually currently listening to Patrick Troughton's first season on audio, and I think this would fit in seamlessly."

Squash Looks to Remain Perfect in Ivy League
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The No. 4 Yale men's squash team will face two tough Ivy competitors at home this weekend, hosting No. 1 Princeton (7-0, 3-0 Ivy) on Saturday and No. 12 Penn (3-7, 0-3 Ivy) on Sunday.
The Elis enter the weekend 8-1, boasting wins over No. 5 Rochester, No. 6 Cornell, No. 7 Franklin and Marshall and No. 10 Columbia. The team is undefeated in the Ivy League, with its only loss coming on Jan. 23 to No. 2 Trinity. In their most recent match on Jan. 26, the Bulldogs defeated No. 15 Navy 9-0. Seniors Kenneth Chan, Hywel Robinson (the team's captain), and Richard Dodd led the team to victory, earning wins at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
Yale last met Princeton in the Ivy Scrimmages in November, when the Bulldogs defeated the Tigers 5-4 in New Haven. In their last official meeting, Princeton dealt Yale its first loss of the 2011-2012 season before going on to win the Ivy League and CSA Team Championships. This year's match will have similar championship implications, as both Yale and Princeton are undefeated in Ivy play and rank among the best teams nationally. The Tigers have already overcome one of their toughest challenges of the season, defeating No. 3 Harvard 5-4 on Jan. 13.
Penn, Yale's second opponent of the weekend, got off to a strong start this season but has struggled of late; after beginning the season 3-2, the Quakers have lost their last five matches. Having already faced and fallen to No. 1 Princeton, No. 2 Trinity and No. 3 Harvard, the team remains highly ranked because of its rigorous schedule. The Quakers' biggest wins thus far have come against No. 14 Bates in November and No. 15 Navy in December.
Yale will face Princeton on Saturday before taking on Penn the following day. Both matches will be played at 12 p.m. in the Brady Squash Center.

TOPEKA - Two Democratic legislators from Wichita said they will introduce legislation next week to address an issue with the Kansas voter registration laws that have more than 15,000 applications in limbo.
State Rep. Jim Ward and Sen. Oletha Faust-Goudeau issued a statement Wednesday indicating they would file bills to fix the law during a special session of the Legislature set to open Tuesday. The registration applications are in suspense until the applicants provide proof of citizenship to election officials.
A law took effect Jan. 1 requiring all first-time applicants to vote to provide proof of citizenship. Faust-Goudeau said the upcoming elections in Johnson County were reason enough for legislators to act soon, rather than to wait until January for the 2014 session.
"Suspended voters will not be able to vote in these upcoming elections without passage of this act. We must protect the right for all people to vote," she said.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports that Ward feels legislators should act next week to fix the problem and allow the registrations to be finalized and people allowed to vote. He and Faust-Goudeau propose a change that would allow residents to sign a sworn statement that they are citizens without showing proof. Signing a false statement would result in a jail sentence.
"We want strong integrity in our voting system, but more than 15,000 Kansans not being able to vote is wrong," said Ward. "We can and should fix this now, during a special session where we are already proactively fixing another law ruled unconstitutional, and before upcoming elections."
But the scope of the special session is narrow, called by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback to make changes in the state's "Hard 50" prison sentence to conform with a June U.S. Supreme Court ruling in a similar case out of Virginia. Legislators will be considering a bill that changes the procedure for imposing the mandatory 50-year sentence for certain types of murders.
The court ruled that only juries can impose such sentences. Kansas currently puts that decision in the hands of judges. A measure endorsed Monday by a special judicial committee would create a procedure where juries decide whether a defendant gets 50 years or a lesser penalty, similar to the state's process for determining capital punishment.

will serve as captains for the 2010-11 season.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Seniors Justin Davidson and Douwe Yntema have been named the captains of the Harvard men's swimming and diving team for the 2010-11 season, the program announced this week.
Davidson will enter his senior season at Harvard as one of the squad's biggest threats in the breaststroke and the individual medley events. This past season, the Havertown, Pa., native placed fourth in the 100-yard breast and fifth in the 200 breast at the Ivy League Championships in Princeton, N.J. A history concentrator, Davidson has relished his time in Cambridge and is looking forward to leading the Crimson next season.
"Looking back on three years with Harvard men's swimming and diving, I realize that few honors exceed the ability to represent the greatest university in the world," said Davidson. "I will do everything I can to assure that this team reclaims the Ivy League championship in its home pool, because that is what the swimmers, the coaches, and the university as a whole deserves."
Yntema, the 2009-10 recipient of the team's Reid Jorgensen Trophy, given to the most improved junior on the squad, had a successful season swimming the individual medley, 200 backstroke and 200 butterfly events. A third-place finish in the 400 IM at the Ivy Championships saw the environmental science and public policy concentrator hit an NCAA provisional qualifying mark to help the Crimson to a runner-up finish at the event.
"The team has defined my experience at Harvard," said Yntema. "Looking back at the past three years, I am happy to say that the team has led me to my best and most trusted friends with whom I have shared great times. The bond that I share with my teammates has instilled in me a powerful faith in the collective abilities of men bounded my common interests. I can't wait to see what we will accomplish this coming year."
"We are looking forward to the 2010-2011 season with Justin and Douwe serving as captains," said men's swimming and diving head coach Tim Murphy. "They have been leaders for us both in and out of the pool this year and we look forward to their expanded role next season. With their help, and the help of our entire senior class, we will have a successful season."

NEWPORT - Anne Wotherspoon Ross, 90, of Newport, RI, passed away on Sunday, June 9, 2013 after a brief illness.
Born September 18, 1922 in Washington, DC, Anne was a ninth-generation Washingtonian and the daughter of the late Margaret Larner Wotherspoon and Rear Adm. Alexander Somerville Wotherspoon of Jamestown, RI, and granddaughter of John B. Larner, President of Washington Loan and Trust Company, and of General William Wallace Wotherspoon, US Army Chief of Staff. She was the sister of the late Margaret Wotherspoon Miller of Washington, DC and Jamestown, RI and of William Wallace Wotherspoon of Santa Fe, NM.
An alumna of the Holton Arms School in Washington, Anne graduated from Vassar College (class of 1944-45), majoring in biochemistry. In 1946, she married Hugh Ogburn (Princeton, class of 1945) and together they had two children: Margaret, also known as Peeky, and Scott. The family settled in Springfield and Gladwyne, PA, where Anne developed a lifelong interest in art and education. She was a founding member of the Children's Museum of Philadelphia, one of the first museums of its kind in the US.� The family spent summers in Mifflintown, PA, and Jamestown, RI.
Following a move to Greenwich, CT in 1962, Anne became an active member of the Junior League and Vassar Club, and later taught art in the Greenwich public school system. An avid tennis player, she played competitively until the age of 82. A movie enthusiast, she won a part as an extra in the 1974 production of The Great Gatsby, starring Mia Farrow and Robert Redford.
Following a divorce from Mr. Ogburn in 1972, she married William Ogden (Oggie) Ross and settled in New Haven, where she dedicated much of her time to local art museums, serving for many years as a docent at the Yale University Art Gallery and as a board member of the Yale Center for British Art as head of the Friends Committee. In 1976, Anne and Oggie, who was chair of the New Haven Bicentennial Commission, were on hand to greet Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip during their tour of the former British colonies for the US Bicentennial celebration.
In 1980, the couple moved to Newport where they became active members of the community. Anne's passion for art led her to the Newport Art Museum, serving as a board member for a number of years. Longtime antique enthusiasts, Anne and Oggie spearheaded the establishment of the Griffon Shop, a popular art and antiques consignment shop at the Newport Art Museum. In more recent years, she served as a volunteer at the Redwood Library.
Anne is survived by her daughter, Margaret Mathews Berenson and son-in-law, Richard Berenson of New York City; son, Scott Alexander Ogburn of Pennsburg, PA; grandson, Alexander Scott Mathews; great-grandson, Mason William Mathews; granddaughter-in-law, Kym Nelson Mathews, all of Costa Mesa, CA; and by her beloved extended family by marriage - Donald and Susan Ross of Newport, RI; Philip and Amy Ross of North Haven, CT; Stuart and Wendy Ross of Katonah, NY; and seven Ross grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
She will be interred in a private ceremony next to her husband, Oggie, at Cedar Cemetery in Jamestown, RI.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at Trinity Church in Newport.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in her memory to Vassar College.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Officially OUT At 'The View'
Updated Wednesday at 1:40 p.m. PST
Elisabeth Hasselbeck exited The View today, but not before saying an emotional goodbye.
Love her or hate her, we'd say she went out with class, no??
Check out her speech:
Thoughts on her goodbye, Instincters?
Original Post
Elisabeth Hasselbeck, The View's controversial conservative host (who happens to be a proponent of marriage equality), is officially leaving the talk show!
ELISABETH Hasselbeck is leaving The View and joining Fox News' morning show FOX and Friends as a co-host, Page Six has exclusively confirmed.
After much speculation, conservative co-host Hasselbeck is following Barbara Walters and Joy Behar out of the ABC daytime talk show.
She will join Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade on the Fox couch in mid-September.
FOX News Chairman & CEO Roger Ailes announced, "Elisabeth's warm and engaging personality made her a star on The View. She has proven to be an excellent conversationalist and I am certain she will make a great addition to our already successful morning franchise."
Hasselbeck added, "I have been a long-time fan of FOX & Friends and am excited to be joining their team in September."
Will you miss Elisabeth, Instincters? Will you be following her to FOX & Friends??
We almost typed that last one with a straight (gay?) face.
I'm surprised she would want to go to FOXNews. It seemed like she had mellowed from her interactions with her co-hosts and the guests on THE VIEW. Obviously I was wrong. I hope she is happy to work at a network where everyone is expected to keep to an extreme-conservative homophobic, racist, and sexist agenda. No, I won't be following her because for some reason my TV doesn't get FOXNews.
Fuck her. She's a total bitch with shit for brains. The only reason why she'd go to Fox is because she's too stupid for anyone other than Fox to want her. I mean, she's the George Bush of daytime television. She's turned on her fans, in terms of her logic and philosophy, a million times. She believes in nothing other than her marriage her right to bear children as dumb as she is. Rotsa Ruck, stupid!

EC: Pronto4 Agnostic Autonomy System Series 4
The patent-pending Pronto4 Agnostic Autonomy System Series 4 from Kairos Autonomi is a robotics applique kit installable on most existing automobiles and other ground vehicles in about 4 hours. Modes of operation include remote control, GPS path following, and intelligent self-navigation. The Pronto4 system attaches to a vehicle's human-operated controls: steering, brake, throttle and transmission. It receives power from the vehicle's battery, and weighs less than 75 lb. With the Pronto4 system installed, either a human or computer can operate the vehicle. This approach, utilizing a flexible attachment set that can be configured to meet the highly common human control paradigm, delivers robotic control capability to existing vehicles at less than 20% of the cost of developing purpose-built robotic systems. The Pronto4 system is a critical technology driver within the U.S. military testing and evaluation, training, and range clearance operations.
Recently, Naval Air Station (NAS) Fallon used the Pronto4 system to provide realistic moving land targets (MLTs) within training scenarios for pilots. The Pronto4 system was installed, along with a GPS receiver and a wireless emergency-stop system, on inexpensive used vehicles as MLTs as part of a live fire exercise with Navy F/A-18C fighter pilots. The MLT was programmed to drive unmanned on a runway while the pilots fired Enhanced Laser Guided Training Rounds (ELGTRs) at the unmanned vehicles.
During the initial test, eight ELGTRs were fired at the MLT, and a number of near hits were recorded. Since the initial exercises, more than 40 ELGTRs have been fired at MLTs powered by the Pronto4 system. NAS Fallon has procured a number of Pronto4 systems for future use. Spurred on by this success, Kairos Autonomi competed for and was awarded a contract with Luke Air Force Base (AFB) to deliver 12 Pronto4 systems for MLT training.

New Delhi: Video jockey-turned-actor Rannvijay Singh has collaborated with Italian eyewear brand Carrera for his upcoming show `Rannvjrun` and says that his mantra is to team up with products that suit his personality.
The 29-year-old announced the association Wednesday.
"I am not a brand oriented person. You will never see me wearing some jeans with flashing big brand`s name," Rannvijay, who will be seen indulging in adventurous activities on the show, said.
"I only wear brands that fit my personality. So when you see me wearing shades, you will immediately recognise that they are Carrera. They are sporty just like me," he added.
Expected to go on air in October this year, "Runnvjrun" will see the actor push his limits.
This is not for the first time Rannvijay is involved in such a TV show. He was the winner of MTV Roadies season one and later he event hosted the multiple seasons of the show.
Apart from TV, Rannvijay is also involved in movies and worked in biggies like `London Dreams` and `Action Replayy` and played a solo hero in psychological thriller `Mod`.
Recently, he finished shooting for director Abbas Tyrewala`s movie `Mango`.
He has also started working with a debutant director on a youth oriented movie and said that its working title is `Love Ka Hangover`.

We met because of my blog, and because she was running a German license of Clan Lord, and her group of game masters invited me to join them because of what I wrote here. We met in December of 2000, and it's been wonderful ever since. How I ever found a beautiful, intelligent, kinky computer-gamer who will put up with my horseshit is beyond me. I give thanks every day that there is an Internet, because without it, I wouldn't have met her. On September 14th, 2002, we were married.

We will go out on a limb and say this year's primary election will go down in the books as one of the most significant events in all of local political history. Thanks largely to the festering sore of the DROP (Deferred Retirement Option Plan), nearly half of the entire complement of current district City Council members has retired or chosen not to run for re-election. The latter group includes, blessedly, our own Donna Reed Miller.
The Ninth Ward Democratic committee has for months pored over the ins and outs of the May election. We've done everything possible to arrive at a principled endorsement for the vacancy in the 8th Councilmanic District, looking every which way to make sure we end up recommending the best overall replacement for Miller, someone ready to lead.
We've sought the straightest-talking, most estimable candidate possible. The 8th District has been poorly served in City Council for years. Now, we owe ourselves the best candidate on offer, ready to fight smart in City Hall from day one.
Verna Tyner is that candidate and was overwhelmingly endorsed by the 9th Ward. I have nothing disparaging to say about the other hopefuls – well, almost nothing. At the end of the day, Verna Tyner emerges as the most praiseworthy and competent person in the race.
Coming from humble beginnings in North Philadelphia, she is the bootstrap heroine par excellence. Her character is unwavering. As chief of staff to Councilman-at-Large Bill Greenlee and the late Councilman-at-large David Cohen, she came by a great deal of day-one experience.
She's shown leadership down in the Council trenches, approaching her work with a creative, make-it-happen determination. Verna Tyner knows every corner of the 8th District and has a mastery of the city's most pressing issues. With Tyner a primary winner, Chestnut Hill, for a change, would not be forgotten by its district council member.
Our illustrious Mayor is basically running unopposed for a second term – please push his button number. Cheer yourselves up by remembering that he's running with a fine slate of at-large City Council members, including a couple of Chestnut Hill favorites, Bill Greenlee and Bill Green. Also gaining a worthy recommendation by the 9th Committee are Blondell Reynolds Brown and two progressive newcomers, Sherrie Cohen and Andrew Toy. Mayor Nutter has called this group of at-large Council members (Greenlee, Green and Reynolds Brown) "one of the best the city has ever had," and he's got at least this one right. Even for all their slugfest debates, this cadre has some of the best policy minds we've seen in Philadelphia in decades; they've helped lead the city out of one of the worst recessions ever.
Please look for our official 9th Ward ballot at the polls on Election Day. Keep in mind our judicial recommendations, especially 9th Ward residents, Ken Powell, and Diana Anhalt.
John O'Connell is the Democratic leader of the 9th Ward.
