Nearly recovered stars eye season debuts
For many notable names, the season has yet to begin, and we're already weeks into the 2013 schedule. But for some, a delayed debut is on the horizon, and that is better than the alternative.
You don't have to tell the Yankees about the anticipation and setbacks and disappointment associated with having an All-Star player -- or four -- unable to play with the season already well under way. The bad news for Derek Jeter last week that set back his return to the middle of the season only worsened their injury woes.
For many notable names, the season has yet to begin, and we're already weeks into the 2013 schedule. But for some, a delayed debut is on the horizon, and that is better than the alternative.
You don't have to tell the Yankees about the anticipation and setbacks and disappointment associated with having an All-Star player -- or four -- unable to play with the season already well under way. The bad news for Derek Jeter last week that set back his return to the middle of the season only worsened their injury woes.
On the other hand, for a couple of teams and players, a late debut already has made an impact, with the Padres appreciating the return of last year's National League RBI leader Chase Headley to the middle of their lineup and the Red Sox glad they have David Ortiz back with the team representing their you-know-what city.
Soon, the Angels hope to have Ryan Madson at the back end of their bullpen and the Braves will welcome back All-Star catcher Brian McCann. The Dodgers' Hanley Ramirez is telling people not to count out a May return, and Cubs ace Matt Garza is working his way back to a Major League mound, too, so quite a few debuts are at least in view.
For the Padres, the wait is over. They have Headley back after his followup to a career year in 2012 was put into a holding pattern by a thumb injury sustained on a Spring Training slide. His first weekend back wasn't ideal in a three-game sweep at San Francisco, but the Padres were missing something without their third baseman in the lineup, and the guy on the other corner of their infield sums it up neatly.
"I think there's only one word that can describe it: presence," Padres first baseman Yonder Alonso said. "It's his presence in the field, the lineup, the clubhouse. That's critical. Chase is the kind of player who puts pressure on the opposing pitcher and gets him thinking about him three or four batters before he comes up. That's presence."
That, too, was a word that fit with Ortiz, who announced his presence back on the Fenway Park field with fantastic ferocity, fierce frankness and, well, another f-word as he finished off the stirring tribute to his Boston Strong friends prior to the first Red Sox game at Fenway following the tragic Boston Marathon bombings.
That was presence, with a big "P" for Big Papi.
"To see him walk in the clubhouse, the energy and the excitement that always seems to surround him, not only the ability of him as a player and a hitter, but to have him in the middle of the lineup, it lengthens out our lineup," manager John Farrell said of Ortiz, who had been out with lingering problems with his right Achilles tendon.
What impact some of the other pending debuts will have on their teams remains to be seen. A few more are on the cusp.
Madson's arrival, for one, was expected to be late when the Angels signed him as a free agent. He'd undergone Tommy John surgery after spending a year with the Reds in which he didn't pitch, but Madson is very much on track for a return in the coming days. He pitched his first simulated game since the surgery on Friday, a significant step toward a Minor League rehab assignment and return, possibly in a matter of weeks.
"It feels like Spring Training to me now, feels like early Spring Training," Madson said after his simulated work. "But it'll come real quick."
Delmon Young, also awaiting his debut with a new team, is inching his way closer to joining the Phillies. The outfielder previously with the Tigers who underwent microfracture ankle surgery in the offseason began a Minor League rehabilitation stint Sunday with the Phillies' affiliate in Clearwater, Fla.
As for Garza, his Spring Training was interrupted early in Cubs camp, and it was a lat muscle injury, not the elbow problems that knocked him out of the second half of 2012. He pitched a simulated game at Miller Park during the Cubs' recent stop there, and he will take his next step toward a mid-May return with an outing at Double-A Tennessee.
McCann, meanwhile, had a bit of a detour on his way back to the Braves, a tender wrist needing examination in Atlanta this past week before he headed back to Florida to continue his recovery from shoulder surgery. With Evan Gattis filling in admirably, McCann's return date remains in question.
Again, that's a phrase you don't have to utter to the Yankees these days. With Jeter's setback on his fractured ankle, the race to be the first pinstriped star back will be between outfielder Curtis Granderson (broken forearm) and first baseman Mark Teixeira (wrist tendon), both of whom are hoping for May returns. Alex Rodriguez isn't expected back until after the All-Star break.
One player itching to make his debut after missing out on Opening Day is Ramirez, who sustained a thumb injury while playing for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic. Last week, he gave notice that he plans to be back sooner than people think.
"It's going to be a surprise to everybody. It'll be faster than [mid-May]," he said. "I'll be in the lineup pretty soon."
Originally given a two-month timetable after his March 22 injury, Ramirez proved his point by putting on a powerful display in batting practice last week, even while wearing a splint on the thumb.
"What he's been able to do has shocked all of us," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said.
With the Dodgers in need of a jolt, they're among those who are awaiting a season debut from a key player, and sooner would be better than later.

COLUMBIA - R-Energy LLC owner and president Tony Barder told KOMU 8 Wednesday that attorneys should have the Aspen Heights student housing controversy settled by Friday, Feb. 8th.
Barder of R-Energy arrived in Orlando Wednesday to discuss the matter with his attorney. He said his priority is to make sure his workers receive appropriate compensation.
Tom Partin of Aspen Heights also claimed that the company strives to finish the matter by the end of next week. He said the company is 80 percent finished and has reached six out of seven subcontractors under R-Energy.
Barder further explained how he has an "A" rating by the Better Business Bureau, and has never been placed in a situation with like he has with Aspen Heights.
R-Energy is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau. According to the BBB, businesses are under no obligation to seek accreditation.
However on the bureau's website, R-Energy has an "A" rating based on 16 factors.
Factors that raised R-Energy's rating include no complaints filed with Better Business Bureau, as well as BBB citing sufficient background information on R-Energy.
Despite the controversy surrounding, Barder claims his employees still look forward to doing business with him. However, Barder does not plan to do business with Aspen Heights in the future.

Among the many pleasures of "Costas Now" the other night was Dan Patrick explaining how the old "Big Show" was actually named ironically by him and Keith Olbermann. They called it "The Big Show" because they assumed no one was watching and had no numbers or reason to think otherwise. But people were definitely watching.
You know, here's an official challenge for the World of Internet. Can anybody dig up a photo of Dan Patrick from that old Friday's commercial in which he has barbecue sauce all over his face? We bet Patrick doesn't do that commercial in the day of the Web. (Speaking of which ... we've also been looking for video of Keith Olbermann's old fast food chicken ads. Remember those?)
And now Patrick is a radio guy, and an SI guy, and a man whose voice charms Joe "Balls Deep" Buck.
So: Do you like the Dan Patrick? Do you not like the Dan Patrick? Let us know.

Laura Ricciardone earned her 11th win of the season in Game 2 against Brown Friday (Harvard Athletic Communications).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard softball team collected a pair of one-run victories against Brown, needing extra innings to secure Game 1, Friday in an Ivy League North Division doubleheader. Jane Alexander blasted a walk-off solo home run to lead off the 10th inning in a 2-1 Game 1 win and the Crimson collected another 2-1 victory in Game 2.
With the wins, Harvard improves to 26-11 on the year and 13-1 in Ivy League play. The Crimson also clinched its fifth North Division Title, and third straight, earning it a berth in the Ivy League Championship Series against the South Division Champion. Harvard has captured five of the six divisional crowns since the divisions were formed in 2007.
The Bears made a statement early in Game 1 when Stephanie Thompson turned on a Rachel Brown offering, pounding a solo home run over the centerfield fence to stake the guests to a 1-0 lead. Harvard threatened in the bottom of the third thanks to back-to-back singles from Allison Scott and Whitney Shaw, but Brown hurler Jessica Cherness escaped the jam on a groundout to first. Rachel Brown went into lockdown mode, and did not allow another hit to the Bears the rest of the game, but the Crimson offense continued to struggle.
After stranding a pair of runners in the bottom of the fifth, Harvard finally knotted the score in the next inning. Katherine Lantz drew a walk and pinch runner Eve Rosenbaum advanced to second on a double steal that saw Camilla Gibson cut down at third. Scott came up big, connecting on a single that scooted up the middle and plated Rosenbaum from second to tie the score.
Rachel Brown continued to silence the opposing bats into extra innings, but the Crimson managed just one hit between the seventh, eighth and ninth innings. With the top of the order due up in the bottom of the tenth, Jane Alexander took matters into her own hands and belted a solo shot over the centerfield fence, ending the game, 2-1, on a walk-off effort. Brown allowed just one hit in 10 innings of work, striking out 14 in the complete-game showing. Scott was the lone player to record multiple hits in the contest.
A handful of Brown miscues helped Harvard plate a run in the bottom of the first in Game 2. Kasey Lange reached on a single with two outs, advanced to second on a passed ball and onto third when a heads-up Harvard appeal saw Stephanie Regan reach on an infield error. A few pitches later, Lange came across, thanks to the second passed ball of the inning. In the third, Alexander singled to lead off the inning and came home on a towering two-out double to left center by Regan, who was cut down trying to stretch the hit to a triple.
Laura Ricciardone was firmly in control in the circle for Harvard, holding the Bears to just one hit through five innings. The guests made some noise in the top of the sixth when a leadoff double by Thompson, a single by Jen Kries and a sacrifice bunt gave Brown runners on second and third with one out. Misa Wong brought in Brown's only run with a single to the shortstop, but a groundout allowed Ricciardone to escape the frame. The groundouts in the top of the seventh snuffed out a Trisha Melvin double and the Crimson clinched its second 2-1 win of the day.
The Crimson collected just four hits in the game, but a strong performance from Ricciardone led to the victory. The sophomore collected four strikeouts in the complete game win, upping her record on the season to 11-6.
Harvard is back in action tomorrow as it takes on the Bears in another Ivy North Division twinbill. Game 1 will begin at 12:30 p.m. The Crimson will also be celebrating Friends of Jaclyn Day at Soldiers Field, and will honor its five seniors in a ceremony before Game 2.

A hot Mediterranean sun parched the soccer fields of Casalecchio as the 204 soccer teams from 27 countries gathered for the 3 p.m. shaking of hands. African political refugees, Italian Roma, Danish feminists, young Ecuadoran gang members from the streets of Genova, and many more all stood in neat lines for the official start.
Moments later, they broke chaotically into the inaugural game of the four-day Anti-Racist World Cup, an extraordinary amateur soccer tournament that takes place each year in this northern Italian town.
The 10-year-old tournament began in response to violence among European "ultras," manic soccer fans whose devotion to a particular professional team is often inextricably linked to a political identity. Soccer fan culture at its worst can produce "hooligans" – aggressive, sometimes nationalist, fans whose antics darken the reputation of all soccer fans.
"Now we are living in a time of peace in Europe, but we use soccer to make war between countries that have historically had problems," said Francesca Veneziano, a Youth Action for Peace volunteer from Rome. She was drawn to the event, she says, because it offers a much-needed response to a violent undercurrent in the soccer fan culture. "People have died in Italy. There are fans who are violent and angry at the police."
But the Anti-Racist World Cup is an unexpected byproduct of the ultra fan base, and although the event has all the trappings of an ultra party – team flags, banners; soccer songs; and the boisterous revelry of sports, music, and beer – the atmosphere is more multicultural festival. On the first night of the tournament, the voices of soccer fans singing at the restaurant tent overlap with Italian folk music and, later, the rhythm of African drums.
"The event was founded by Project Ultra, a soccer fan group, as a way to validate the culture of ultras and reduce incidents of violence, not through more rules but through real social work," says tournament spokeswoman Daniela Conti. "In this way, the idea emerged that we could mix not only soccer groups, but also other ideas and cultures."
The World Cup supports an accessible sports culture that supersedes not only geopolitical borders, but also the more abstract borders of fear and intolerance, Ms. Conti explains. For instance, one team comprises Bosnian Serbs and Bosnian Muslims playing on the same side, another team groups together juvenile offenders from a local prison and their social workers.
The tournament, which now attracts more than 8,000 people, is noncompetitive and prizes are only symbolic. Promotion for the event is by word of mouth. Teams composed of players of all skill levels and ages can receive extra points if they present a poster explaining their work against discrimination in their home communities. Since this tournament was founded, similar tournaments have flourished across Europe.
Unlike other tournaments, the Anti-Racist World Cup space is free of commercial advertisements and sponsorships. It receives funding from municipal authorities in the region as well as pan-European sports culture groups and European Union programs.
And the tournament's impact is tangible. After attending for years, ultras of the official Genovese team of Sampdoria were inspired to develop a soccer initiative aimed at Ecuadoran and Moroccan gang members from the streets of Genova. The newly recruited players made their first appearance at the Anti-Racist World Cup tournament this year.
Among other positive results, the tournament has developed collaboration with Bologna's Radio Asterisco, which broadcasts live from the festival each day. One afternoon, radio DJs interviewed Jibril Deen, a native Gambian and naturalized citizen of Hungary, who formed the African Stars Football Club in 1994 when the end of communism in Eastern Europe marked a time of social and economic upheaval.
"We formed the soccer club to create understanding between Africans and Hungarians because there was a rise in anti-immigrant groups in the early 1990s," he says.
Christian Peterniti, a musician from Sardinia whose hip-hop music reflects poverty and social struggle in the barrios of Palermo, performed live on the air with his group GenteStranaPosse. After playing soccer at the Anti-Racist World Cup in 2007, he returned to Sicily and worked to create a similar tournament involving immigrants and teams from the barrios of Palermo.
"In starting a tournament, we have witnessed how people have really been changed by it," Mr. Peterniti says. "It's something so simple and accessible to everyone, just like music."
Music was the theme of the film "Nazirock," screened for a crowd of more than 100 people in the "Anti-Racist Piazza," the main square of the tournament. The Italian documentary, directed by Claudio Lazzaro, explores neo-fascist and neo-Nazi rock bands in Italy and their role in the politics of intolerance.
While the atmosphere of the tournament is festive, forum discussions range from the aggressive culture of machismo that permeates the ultra fan culture to the subject of discrimination against Roma in Europe.
Andrea Fabbri Cossarini, a social worker with the Italian trade union CGIL, was working to collect fingerprints as a symbolic display of protest against a controversial Italian initiative to fingerprint all Roma children. While Italian leaders claim the initiative will help integrate Roma children living in Italy, the EU Parliament has called the fingerprinting racial discrimination.
"These people are Italian citizens just like me, and no one has taken my fingerprint," Mr. Cossarini says, who added that efforts such as the Anti-Racist World Cup could help improve the climate of tolerance in Europe. "We need to show that we are able to create a Europe which is not defined by the euro, but by a social consciousness."
The CGIL team, in green and white stripes, was warming up on a field beside "Dynamo Papinsky," one of the youngest teams present, whose members came from a local youth center and had made their own T-shirts and practiced for four months in anticipation of the event. It was their first tournament.
"Football is very good for them because it really helps them to release a lot of energy, stress, and aggression," says Monia Mattioli, a youth center educator as she watches the team, made up of Italians and second-generation Moroccans and Tunisians, warm up.
What did the team expect from their first game at the World Cup? "To win," said one player with determination. And they did, 1-0.

There are only other three people in the world that know what I'm about to tell you. Like Lyme disease gone dormant, I've been carrying around this deep, dark secret for almost fifteen years that still shames me to this day. Although I try not to think about it, the truth comes knocking more often than not.
We men are easy creatures; drawn to whatever our stomach or eyes are willing to feast. In this case, it was the latter…a babe named Jess. She was foxy and funny and feisty, looked great in jeans and on top of that, she was really into me. You can imagine my excitement when she wanted to come over and watch the Packers in the Super Bowl in 1997.
I orchestrated an incredible setup in my parent's basement that day I tell you. There were chips and dip and a cooler next to the couch; there was even stool to put up our feet and slouch. Things seemed perfect and she arrived just in time to snuggle, yes snuggle, and watch the great Luther Vandross sing the national anthem.
To recap: The Packers were in the Super Bowl, a hot chick had her hand on my leg, and a three-gallon bowl of Cool Ranch Doritos was within arm's length…life was good I tell you! And it quickly got even better, or so I thought at the time.
"Wanna make out?" she asked as New England kicked off.
"What? Seriously?" I came back with.
"Would you rather watch the game?"
"I mean… Seriously? It's the Super Bowl. It's the Packers. First time in thirty years."
"Didn't you say they had a dynasty and they'll win at least three Super Bowls with Favre?" she asked.
"Well yeah, but…"
"It's OK, we can watch the game."
And it's at that point I made the call to fulfill her request. We then began what will go down as my number #2 epic makeout session of all time with an asterisk. And let me tell you, it was five times better than anything previous or since but I cannot ever put it at #1 because while we were visiting Smoochtown, the Packers were on their way to winning a Super Bowl – the only one of its kind of my lifetime. By the time one of us had to go to the bathroom, the confetti was swarming down on Favre, Reggie and the bunch. I was in complete shock and awe.
Yes, I had my reasons for what I've done, as men always do, and as much as I would go back and change the past, this is my journey and I accept that. I've come a long way since then and I know it won't happen again. Jess is married with children now, anyhow, and living in Minnesota last I heard.
Thanks for letting me vent, Internets/readers.

Post-Tropical Cyclone KATE
ZCZC MIATCDAT2 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE KATE DISCUSSION NUMBER 14 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL122015 500 AM AST THU NOV 12 2015 Satellite imagery indicates that Kate has merged with a baroclinic zone over the north Atlantic and is now an extratropical cyclone. The advisory intensity is set at 60 kt based on earlier ASCAT-A data and continuity from the previous advisory. The post-tropical cyclone should gradually weaken during the next 2-3 days as it merges with a low pressure area currently located to its west. After that time, the global models show an intensifying baroclinic low over the northeastern Atlantic, but it is unclear whether this low is the re-intensification of the former Kate or a new low that absorbs the remnants of Kate. The official forecast follows the previous forecast in using the latter scenario. The initial motion is 060/23. The post-tropical cyclone should slow its forward motion during the next 24 hours or so during the merger with the low to the west, and some erratic motion is possible. Subsequently, the post-tropical cyclone should accelerate toward the east-northeast and northeast. The new forecast track is again slower than the previous forecast and is in best agreement with the consensus models. This is the last advisory on this system issued by the National Hurricane Center. Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and available on the Web at http://www.opc.ncep.noaa.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.shtml.

LOS ANGELES — The first wave of a powerful Pacific storm spread rain and snow early Friday through much of California, where communities endangered by a wildfire just weeks ago now faced the threat of mud and debris flows.
Authorities in the foothill cities of Glendora and Azusa east of Los Angeles kept a wary eye on the barren slopes as rains moved through. Small debris flows covered one Glendora street but no property damage occurred, police said. Mandatory evacuation orders were issued for about 1,000 homes in the area on Thursday.
Numerous traffic accidents occurred on slick or flooded roads across Southern California, and a 10-mile stretch of Pacific Coast Highway west of Malibu was closed as a precaution against possible rockslides from a fire-scarred section of the Santa Monica Mountains.
In Los Angeles, rising water forced police to close major roads crossing the Sepulveda Basin. The flood-control area for the Los Angeles River on the San Fernando Valley floor is maintained as a wildlife refuge and recreation center but is otherwise kept clear of development.
Rain was also falling in the central coast counties, in the San Francisco Bay region and in the Central Valley. Winter storm warnings were in effect in the Sierra Nevada for heavy snowfall.
Forecasts called for the storm to last through Saturday in California, bringing some relief amid a long-running drought, and to spread east into similarly parched neighboring states. Phoenix was expecting its first noticeable precipitation in two months.
Around San Francisco Bay, the storm led to an urban and small stream flood warning, as rain in excess of a half-inch an hour moved in, according to the National Weather Service. Wet roadways and crashes slowed the morning commute, and there were isolated power outages.
In San Jose, a driver had to abandon his vehicle after attempting to drive through a flooded street and becoming stranded, police said. The driver was not hurt. Firefighters also pulled a man from swollen Coyote Creek near a homeless encampment. He was treated at a hospital for hypothermia.
Some arriving flights at San Francisco International Airport were delayed by more than four hours, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
South of San Francisco, Half Moon Bay pumpkin farmer Chris Gounalakis worked in a soft drizzle to make sure his plowed fields weren't being eroded by a creek.
''Our land can start funneling into the creek, it's happened before. Then we end up losing our little precious land, and right now we do need every little bit,'' he said.
The storm's full force was expected to be felt later Friday morning, with possible thunderstorms and rains up to an inch per hour, the National Weather Service said.
On Thursday, mandatory evacuation orders were issued for about 1,000 homes in Glendora and Azusa, about 25 miles east of Los Angeles that sit beneath nearly 2,000 acres of steep mountain slopes stripped by fire in January. People were not forced out, but some residents quickly heeded the call.
''We have an hour to get evacuated,'' said Dana Waldusky as she hurried to evacuate the family home next to the burn area in Glendora. ''We're just boarding up all our doors.''
Waldusky, 22, said she, her parents and sister made sure they had important documents, photos, medicines and their toothbrushes packed.
The home survived the fire, which firefighters stopped 15 feet from their back fence.
''This time there's nothing you can do. You can't stop water,'' she said.
While concern was highest in the Glendora-Azusa area, meteorologists also posted flood watches for many other areas denuded by fires over the past two years.
Cities in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties were handing out sandbags in anticipation of heavy rain.
Even waterspouts offshore and small tornados were possible, the weather service said.
California's rain totals are far below normal and it will take a series of drenching storms to make a dent in a statewide drought that is among the worst in recent history.
The state Department of Water Resources took a new survey of the Sierra Nevada snowpack on Thursday and found the water content at only 24 percent of average for the date. The northern and central Sierra snowpack normally provides about a third of the water used by California's cities and farms.
Farmer Ray Gene Veldhuis, who grows almonds, walnuts and pistachios and runs a 2,300-cow dairy in the Central Valley's Merced County, welcomed the wet weather doubted it will rescue California from drought.
''This is actually getting back to normal rather than being abnormal,'' Veldhuis said in an interview Thursday. ''It's kind of a blessing. Hopefully, they keep coming. If not, we'll deal with the hand we're dealt.''

Indianapolis - Gleanersby John Bridge '72 • October 10, 2007 Share:
The Gleaners Food Bank project worked to help solve an increasingly serious problem in the State of Indiana – hunger. As Indiana loses high-paying manufacturing jobs, a growing number of Hoosiers are living below the poverty level. Last year, Indiana ranked 7th among all states in the increase in poverty, a frightening statistic. For people living in poverty, paying for food is always difficult and sometimes impossible.
Gleaners Food Bank in Indianapolis is part of the national food bank network. Gleaners gathers food from a number of sources – grocery stores, restaurants, individuals and the government, among other places – and distributes the food to other charitable organizations and directly to the needy in a 20 county area in central, eastern and southern Indiana.
Our WABASH Day team's project was to pack boxes of food to be distributed to needy senior citizens. Each month Gleaners distributes 4,000 of such boxes. The goal of our group of 22 Wabash people was to pack 400 boxes of food. We exceeded that, packing and loading for distribution a total of 560 boxes, 40% more than our quota. Each box held approximately 37 pounds of food, so we packed more than 20,000 pounds of food for needy seniors.
Our team consisted of 22 Wabash volunteers, including wives, girlfriends and children:

Display Locker
From Openmoko
The display locker is an extension of neod which intends to prevent accidentially caused triggering of events on the screen.
Use case
Willi wants to hear music when he is jogging, but he can't because "lock down" gets his neo in suspend mode where he can't here music and "dim only" won't prevent accidental triggering of events in his pocket.
Make an uncloseable widget, which can only be hidden when the user draws a specific motion on the screen.
The user has to drag something from the buttom of the screen to the top of the screen. A first version can be found at http://homepages.upb.de/olaf/dinge/openmoko/display_lock/neod_0.1.0+svnr3421-r6_neo1973.ipk If you have any ideas or a fance new image set, please contact me ("borg" in #openmoko or firstname.lastname@example.com).
At the momment there are two themes available. Just put the .png's in the /usr/share/neod/ folder of your neo.
- puzzle theme: http://homepages.upb.de/olaf/dinge/openmoko/display_lock/moko_puzzle/
- choice theme: http://homepages.upb.de/olaf/dinge/openmoko/display_lock/moko_choice/

Wow -- thanks VERY MUCH from me also hendricd -- your code makes session timeouts a breeze to handle.
In my application, I simply included "ext-basex-min.js" as described above, and then added a single call to Ext.lib.Ajax.onStatus(...) also as described above. This works very great for handling session timeouts reported by my server-side code.
However, please note the following bug and (hopefully sound) fix I implemented. My code is far too large to post here, but I'll describe the problem as best I can.
My application contains a GridPanel populated by a JsonStore. User clicks on other elements on the screen trigger the JsonStore (and therefore the GridPanel) to reload with applicable data from the server. It's very possible for a user to trigger the reloading of the JsonStore before a previous load was completed. This worked fine without the "ext-basex-min.js" in my app, but including that file (without even calling anything in it) caused IE6 & 7 to trigger a JavaScript error in this situation. Firefox still worked fine though.
My fix involves moving a single line of code into an existing try/catch block as indicated in these snippets.
Old:New:Code:createResponseObject:function(o, callbackArg){ var obj = {}; var headerObj = {},headerStr=''; try{ //to catch bad encoding problems here obj.responseText = o.conn.responseText; }catch(e){obj.responseText ='';} obj.responseXML = o.conn.responseXML; try{ headerStr = o.conn.getAllResponseHeaders()||''; } catch(ex){}This seems to meet the need in my app, but maybe there's a better fix?Code:createResponseObject:function(o, callbackArg){ var obj = {}; var headerObj = {},headerStr=''; try{ //to catch bad encoding problems here obj.responseText = o.conn.responseText; }catch(e){obj.responseText ='';} try{ obj.responseXML = o.conn.responseXML; headerStr = o.conn.getAllResponseHeaders()||''; } catch(ex){}

That didn't take long--within hours of Apple's Tuesday announcement of the iPad mini, accessory makers began announcing products that would go perfectly with the new device. Here are a few that landed in our in-box in the first couple days, as well as the other new iOS accessories we saw this week.k"
iPad mini-specific gear
Dr. Bott: This company said it would sell 74 different accessories for the iPad mini--including the $40 Cover Stand from Gear4. Most of the rest of the products are so new that Dr. Bott doesn't yet have pictures available, but they largely run the gamut from protective films for the tablet's screen to folios to prevent scratches all over.
iLuv: This accessory maker said it would adapt its entire line of iPad cases to fit the iPad mini, with that lineup led by the $65 CEO Folio, a plush case that lets you carry the tablet on one side, along with pens, documents, and styluses in the other. The $55 Snoopy Folio is aimed at a younger crowd, while the $40 Epicarp provides a slim case that offers both protection and a kickstand.
Kensington: This company announced three new products for the new tablet: A $20 protective back cover; a $35 cover and stand; and a SmartCover-compatible back cover that also comes in at $20.
Padacs: The $40 Rubata Mini is a scaled-down version of Padacs's Rubata hard-shell keyboard case. The 59-key keyboard connects to the tablet using Bluetooth; the case itself is made from synthetic leather for rugged durability.
Other iOS accessories
Not all the new accessories this week were pegged to the iPad mini announcement.
Belkin: The $90 WeMo Baby is an iOS-linked baby monitor for your home, relaying audio from your infant's room directly to an app on your iPhone or iPad. You can even sign up to get "cry notification" text alerts. There's no word on when the WeMo Baby will be available, baby--Belkin's website says only that the device is "coming soon."
Chef Sleeve: Among its many attributes, the iPad often a great replacement for paper cookbooks. But sometimes it's scary to take your favorite iOS device into the kitchen where crumbs, gravy, and boiling sweetmeats can make a mess. Chef Sleeve offers a variety of products to keep your tablet safe, including our favorite, a $70 cutting board with iPad stand--you can follow cooking instructions while you chop vegetables (see the picture at the top of this article), or you can watch your favorite cooking show. If you're still worried about the mess, you can buy a $20 pack of disposable iPad sleeves or iPhone sleeves, which let you use your device in the kitchen while protecting it from foreign substances.
GameDock: The $89 GameDock is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: Plug in your iPhone or iPad, and you suddenly have a 1980s-style Nintendo gaming system on your hands. You can play games on your iOS device's screen, or plug it into a TV for big-screen gaming. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the GameDock is now available for pre-order; units are expected to ship in December.
Griffin Technology: SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! Well, ok, you can actually play with the $60 Moto TC Monster any day of the week. You can control this "app-powered monster truck" using your iPad or iPhone, and you can do it from the comfort of your own seat--BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EDDDDDDDDDGE!
NewerTech: Maybe the Apple TV is evolving into something more than a niche product. Why do we say that? Because we're starting to see accessories for the device. The latest is the $18 NuStand Alloy, an aluminum Apple TV stand with a silicone rim for a safe, secure grip, and a rubberized black finish for scratch resistance. The stand weighs in at just 3.5 ounces, and it can also hold Apple's 2012 Airport Express.
Padacs: Just because the iPhone 5 has arrived doesn't mean it's time to stop making--or introducing--accessories for the iPhone 4 and 4S. (Apple's still selling these models, after all.) The $80 FlexiCharge is a wireless-charging system for those two phone models: Just attach the slimline receiver and place the phone on the charging pad. The device shuts off when the phone's battery is full, preventing overheating and overcharging.
uNu Electronics: This company is offering three new rechargeable batteries compatible with your iOS devices: the $40 Enerpak Tube, the $80 Enerpak Book, and the $80 Enerpak Vault. uNu claims the devices are compatible with iPhones, iPads, and--most cheekily, since the devices were introduced last week, before this week's Apple event--the iPad Mini.

Obama to pay homage to – and dodge comparisons with – LBJ's legacy
President Barack Obama comes face to face Thursday with the legacy of Lyndon Johnson.
Obama will deliver the keynote address at Johnson's presidential library in Austin, Texas, marking the 50th anniversary of the landmark Civil Rights Act, which helped pave the way for the first African-American president.
While paying homage, Obama also inevitably will invite comparison to the man who defined the art of the political deal while muscling through a remarkable array of legislation, including Medicare, the Voting Rights Act and the Fair Housing Act, in addition to the Civil Rights Act.
Johnson's success at wheeling and dealing with members of Congress one by one to get what he wanted contrasts with Obama's frustrations with Congress. It invites potentially unfavorable comparisons between the former Senate majority leader's hands-on tactics and Obama's more cerebral approach to governing.
"Johnson was very comfortable manipulating, cajoling and pressuring members of Congress to do things in a way that Obama doesn't have the skill set nor the experience, nor the inclination for," said Jeremi Suri, a history professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.
"Johnson had a better understanding of how Congress works and how hard you must work on a one-on-one basis with every crazy member of the House of Representatives to get every vote," Suri said.
Senior White House officials insist Obama fares well when his legislative record is compared with Johnson's.
They note that when Obama had Democratic majorities in his first two years in office, he achieved his signature health care law, an economic stimulus act that sought to avert a further financial crisis and Wall Street regulatory reform.
And they note that some of the tools that Johnson employed with success to bring lawmakers over to his way of thinking aren't possible anymore, with a legislative crackdown on pork barrel spending and earmarks, as well as a press likely to seize on evidence of patronage.
Obama himself argued that Johnson's success rate dimmed as his strong majorities were diminished.
"When he lost that historic majority, and the glow of that landslide victory faded, he had the same problems with Congress that most presidents at one point or another have," Obama said in a New Yorker profile. "I say that not to suggest that I'm a master wheeler-dealer but, rather, to suggest that there are some structural institutional realities to our political system that don't have much to do with schmoozing."
A number of presidential historians and scholars agree. In the same New Yorker profile, LBJ biographer Robert Caro said comparisons between the two are impossible.
"Johnson was unique," he said. "We have never had anyone like him, as a legislative genius."
Johnson loved Washington and "loved wheeling and dealing," said Joseph Califano, a domestic policy adviser for Johnson.
"He knew exactly what someone needed or wanted, what their price was, whether it was a dam or a federal office building or an invite to a White House dinner," Califano said.
Still, he calls comparisons between Obama and Johnson unfair, saying Johnson took office at a time of deep societal change – and before unprecedented sums of money in politics began to change the equation.
"The general public, we felt government could do things, government could change the world," Califano said.
Some historians argue that the Johnson effect on bringing recalcitrant lawmakers over to his side has been exaggerated.
"The argument that Obama should be schmoozing, playing golf more and he'd get votes, that's a bad rap," said George Edwards, a presidential scholar at Texas A&M University. "Johnson was very good at getting what he could from Congress, but not because he was such a persuasive guy or people just loved him so much."
Instead, he attributes the passage of much of the legislation to the readiness of the country to support them. "The battles had been fought, the country was coming around," he said.
Johnson also took the presidency as the nation was mourning the death of President John F. Kennedy, who had championed the Civil Rights Act.
"Johnson was a gifted guy, but he had a magic moment," said Bruce Buchanan, a presidential expert at the University of Texas at Austin.
He called Johnson masterful in a way that no president has been, but he said he doesn't believe that Obama – even if he were as skilled – would be able to make headway.
"Republicans have what amounts to a policy decision to give this president as little as possible other than what they need for their own interest or survival," Buchanan said. "When you're up against that kind of rigid opposition it's hard to persuade your way out of that, even if you have the skills of a Lyndon Johnson."
And some question whether Johnson would be as successful in the current political environment, noting he had the tide of history on his side.
"We're in a history period now of increments," said Kent Germany, a history professor at the University of South Carolina and a scholar with the Presidential Recordings Program at the University of Virginia's Miller Center. "In the 1960s they were in the period of big gulps. This was a period of major changes."
He called it unfair to compare any politician to Johnson as a legislator.
"It's what he was born to do and he loved it," Germany said.
Much has been made of Johnson's comments that the civil rights legislation would cost the Democratic Party, but Germany said Johnson was playing a longer game, one that reconfigured the Democratic Party to become more inclusive and closely identified with Great Society programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
It's that new Democratic Party's base that nominated Obama and drove his success at the ballot box, he said.
"Obama's election in 2008 and 2012 is really an election based on Johnson's Great Society," Germany said. "Obama clearly rides the wave that Johnson helped accelerate in 1964, and I think that Johnson would be absolutely delighted that the first black president was coming to speak at his library. And he would take credit for it."

SecureSphere 2.0
Learn why Information Security magazine believes Imperva's SecureSphere is an easy way to put industrial-strength protection in front of critical commerce applications.
SecureSphere 2.0
Price: $25,000
Imperva's SecureSphere 2.0 combines signature- and anomaly-based detection to halt attacks on databases.
The solution employs a Linux-based Snort sensor to passively monitor bidirectional traffic for common Web-based attacks on databases. Response actions, configured via menu selections on the Windows-based management/reporting console, include dropping the connection with a TCP reset, logging an alert and running custom scripts to extract data (sensor ID, alert type, etc.). The Snort sensor includes standard Web attack and numerous SQL/ Web server signatures (e.g. SQL UNION, DROP TABLE clauses), and you can schedule signature updates from Imperva.
The sensors initially monitor access to servers in "learn" mode to get a snapshot of "normal" activity--profiling queries issued, frequency of URL usage, patterns within URLs, etc.--for tagging and dropping traffic that falls outside the baseline. You can set acceptable variations in anomaly parameters, such as the standard deviation for learned URL behavior, to minimize false positives and the degree of deviation required to trigger an alert or response. SecureSphere also tracks session state and source IP address, so you can identify attacks coming from behind a proxy server.
Native support for Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle SQL syntax enables SecureSphere to maximize its anomaly detection. It can monitor the number of parameters passed during a SQL injection attack to tag anomalous strings and can stop attacks that manipulate SQL statements, such as xp_cmdshell calls coming from remote hosts. (When we launched a UNION SELECT * FROM sysobjects query to a vulnerable URL, it recognized our attack and reset our connection.) It also stops common HTTP manipulation attacks, including cookie poisoning, cross-site scripting and buffer overflows.
SecureSphere integrates with Check Point Software Technologies' FireWall-1, communicating via native protocols to block attacks, which is no surprise given that Imperva's CEO, Shlomo Cramer, is a Check Point cofounder. The FW-1 integration is a nice feature, but take care: It's possible for attackers to overwhelm a firewall with excessive "dynamic rule modifications" generated by attacking a protected site from multiple external locations.
Deployment is straightforward. Installing the embedded database, which stores configuration and sensor-generated data, takes about 30 minutes. The boot CD and an intuitive text-based menu--a valuable resource for non-Linux users--guides users through assigning a sensor name, IP address and network interface settings. A Web-based GUI allows you to define IP addresses, port numbers and URLs for Web servers and approved SQL statements, with accompanying parameter data for SQL servers. However, MySQL and IBM DB2 RDBMS support is lacking, which is too bad given the growing use of MySQL in Internet-facing applications.
Crystal Reports is bundled; otherwise, basic reporting provides summary views of anomalies generated, offending IP addresses and common URLs attacked. Alerts can be e-mailed from the console to security managers or admins, but integration with management frameworks, such as Remedy, IBM Tivoli or HP Open-View, for assigning trouble tickets would be better.
Unfortunately, you can't write custom anomaly detection rules; that requires code changes from Imperva. Extending the rules engine would allow you to write your own--a must-have for extranet users who, for example, may need to allow partners to legitimately pass a long parameter to a URL.
Despite its limitations, Imperva's SecureSphere provides solid security with minimal installation requirements. It's an easy way to put industrial-strength protection in front of critical commerce applications.

I bet your wondering why on earth am I submitting another Pokemon tutorial. The answer to that question is quite easy, it's another request. I want to let you all in on a little secret, a majority of the requests I have been getting since the new request submission option went up, is loaded with members asking me to draw all kinds of Pokemon characters. I figured if I do one a day, that wouldn't be too bad. But to tell you the truth, I am getting pretty burnt out on drawing these creatures. It's not because I hate them or anything, it's more because just writing about them is getting boring. We all know what Pokemon are, and the different types there are too. But, nonetheless, I have to go about my work, and keep drawing and writing because I know that is what keeps members happy, and entertained. This next lesson is going to be on "how to draw Ponyta", step by step. I know for a fact that this is a species that was apart of the beginning Pokemon that started the series. It is a fire type, and is amongst the fire horse species. Ponyta also evolves into "Rapidash" when level forty is reached. The name of this species was perfectly developed because Ponyta looks like a horse. The only difference is the mane, and tail. Instead of horse hair for the tail and mane, Ponyta has flames. The color of Ponyta's hide is a creamy color which compliments the fiery flames that is part of it's make up. As for this Pokemon's abilities, it's Flash Fire, Flame Wheel, and some other fire type moves. One cool thing about this species is the hooves. Ponyta's hooves are harder than diamonds. I have always been fond of this character because it always reminded me of a fantasy being. Like most horses, Ponyta is relativity calm, and they also let humans ride on their backs. If you fancy yourself a Ponyta, look in the grasslands, or any place that has plenty of grass for them to feed on. In general, this tutorial will show you an easy way to "draw Ponyta", step by step. I will be back a little later on today with some other fun stuff. In the mean time have fun drawing Pokemon in every which way possible.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

Just today we learned that Legal Action Against MERS Has Been Dropped in Kentucky, so lets see what develops from this. Keep in mind that this does not rule out other states as there are different laws in each. Also, KY AG has subpoenaed MERS.
MERS et al. are probably going after the states that might appear easy.
Every time a mortgage changes hands in Kentucky, the transaction is to be registered at the county clerk's office and a fee is to be paid.
On Thursday, Mason County joined with several other counties, including Franklin and Warren counties, across the state in a class action lawsuit against a mortgage registration company which has failed to comply with the law, which is regulated under KRS 382.110(1).
Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, also known as MERS, is comprised of shareholders of some of the largest mortgage lending institutions in the nation.
