Autistic Adults in Rural America: Part I
Autistic adults face numerous challenges, regardless of where they live. Lack of services, lack of jobs, lack of housing and supports for families are universal hurdles to increased quality of life for adults on the spectrum. However, not all communities are created equal. For many families living in rural America, the experience of living with autism is markedly different from that of urbanites—for better and for worse. Quality services can be harder to come by, job opportunities can be limited, and residential options outside of the family home can be virtually non-existent. By the same token, the tight-knit quality of rural communities can often be more socially and emotionally supportive. In this two-part series, AA16 takes a closer look at autism in rural communities as experienced by families in different parts of the country.
School Systems
As a 2011 LA Times article [3] notes, school spending on autism varies depending on an area's diagnosis rates. In rural communities—where sparser populations can mean fewer children with autism—school supports are often lacking. This is a major area of concern, as having specialized teaching can make all the difference for students on the spectrum. Angela D. Leonard, Director of the Blue Ridge Autism and Achievement Center [4] in Roanoke, Virginia and the mother of an 18-year-old son with autism, knows something about the lack of appropriate education. When her son, Joshua, was diagnosed, Leonard met another autism mother and they began a support group in an effort to share information and experiences. The two thought they were basically alone as autism families, and that their meetings would be sparsely attended. Yet Leonard remembers that by the third meeting, "Forty-six families showed up. No one was connected." Realizing how the great the need was, Leonard started an autism program out of her home. Seeing her son start to interact with others was all the motivation she required. When the program grew too large for her home, her church donated a facility. Eleven years later, the Blue Ridge Autism and Achievement Center has multiple locations serving multiple school districts. What began as two parents supporting one another became a large regional service provider.
Leonard notes that area public schools aren't always equipped to serve autistic children well. "The school districts that have higher numbers of kids have more programs." And having more programs translates to more opportunities for education, socialization, and just plain getting out of the house. The lack of good programs during the K-12 years may carry forward into adulthood. Through her work at BRAAC, Leonard often hears from parents who have young adult children on the spectrum. Many parents at a loss as to how they can facilitate their children's growth and development post-graduation. Once individuals graduate from high school, Leonard says, "They're sitting at home, playing video games and hanging out. And their parents know there's so much more to life for them."
Many young adults on the spectrum and their families have been burned by difficult educational experiences. However, families in urban areas often have a choice as to where to enroll their children. But in rural areas, where distance is greater and facilities fewer, most families don't have that choice, or the option to switch schools in times of crisis. Sandy Burns recounts her 24-year-old autistic son Eric's school experiences as extremely negative, particularly in the early years. The Burns family has lived in a rural area near Rapid City, South Dakota (city population: 69,200) for 20 years. Despite difficulties with the educational system, Burns says, "I really like living here. Everyone knows everyone, and I can take things to our Senators or Governor if I need to." Burns works as the CEO of Project Solutions, Inc, and she and her husband are active members of the Autism Society of the Black Hills [5]. The Burns family has struggled to find appropriate educational supports for their son. Burns calls her son's first nine years of school, before his autism diagnosis "horrible." Unfortunately, the school system responded to the son's behavioral challenges by blaming his parents. "They did not have a behavior plan, even though [Eric] hid under his desk and screamed all day," Burns recalls. In order to facilitate supports for her son, she had to fight the schools on the state level. She banded together with other parents to demand better services, and helped found the Autism Society of the Black Hills chapter as well. The result? Fewer issues with local schools, and an autism program, too. Much has changed since Eric was young. Sandy Burns notes, "We have been able to educate the community, and [Eric] is widely accepted here … [Other towns] struggle due to the lack of knowledge on the part of teachers, and no support systems." At present, Burns is researching ways for her son to continue his educational journey; he would like to take college-level classes, particularly in history. Eric has motor difficulties that make traditional classroom settings challenging (hand tremors prevent him from being able to write independently). But simply attending a college-level course would be a dream come true. Having to fight the school district for services has solidified the family's commitment to Eric's education.
Sometimes, however, attending school in rural areas can have advantages for autistic adults. Since rural areas may have fewer students on the spectrum, more personal attention and individualized supports can result. And in some sparsely-populated states, a higher percentage of special education services receive funding. For example, Betty Carmon's autistic son, Steele, was nearly 22 when he graduated from their local school system in Powell, Wyoming (population: 6,393). The family has lived in Powell for 30 years, and for over 20 years, Carmon has served as a staff member for the Wyoming Parent Information Center [6], an organization that supports families of individuals with disabilities. As such, she has both a parental and professional perspective on the area schools. She reflects on her son's educational experiences, saying, "In Wyoming, special education in our school districts is funded at 100%. We're only state that does that." On the other hand, she notes, their rural location meant a lack of educational options; it was public school or nothing for her son. Steele is not currently enrolled in an educational program; instead, the family is focusing on developing his employment skills and opportunities.
Becky Way, who lives in a rural area 25 miles north of Roanoke, Virginia, has two sons on the spectrum, Blake and Grant, 24. The twins live at home with their parents; the family moved to Virginia from Atlanta in 2004. Born with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome [7], both young men have health issues and developmental delays. Advantages of their current location include proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway and hiking, a family favorite. Disadvantages include fewer cultural opportunities. Way remembers it being easier to find fun outings for her twins to experience when they lived in Atlanta.
The twins were homeschooled, both as Georgia and Virginia residents. Way recounts, "Since (attending school) didn't work out in Georgia, I assumed it wouldn't work here. Their [Georgia] school had told us [the twins] could only graduate with a certificate of attendance. I said, 'So you're telling me that you're my babysitting service?' And they said, 'Unfortunately, yes.'" (After the Ways moved to Virginia, their former school system was featured in news outlets [8] due to its failure to educate young adults with autism.) Ultimately, however, Becky Way withdrew her sons from school because of a single rule: Teachers had to call an ambulance if a student had a seizure. At the time, Grant was having multiple seizures each week. The family's insurance didn't cover an ambulance ride, and the school refused to change the policy. Yet Way saw that her twins' health issues meant that education mattered even more as they aged. "People think education is 'over' at age 18," she notes "But ... Grant's seizures are more under control than they've ever been. So he's learning more right now than he did then." Finding continuing educational supports for adults on the spectrum is a nation-wide issue, and few areas have affordable, accessible post-graduate opportunities for autistic adults. And those limited options tend to be found in proximity to major urban areas.
Where does that leave families like the Ways? Juggling care of their children and their professional careers, and wondering what the future holds. At present, Way works as a teacher, so her husband takes the twins to respite care in the morning, and she picks them up in the afternoon. (The twins do not have jobs at present.) Way empathizes with families who have special needs children, and she works with special education students. (Laughing, she says, "I guess [my supervisors] figured I could handle it!") In her role, she has encountered many parents who don't know how to advocate for better services. She says, "I've been to IEPs that last 12, 26 minutes. Our IEPs used to be 6 hours. We were like bulldogs. We kept asking questions." She also notes that, despite difficulties with the school system, living in the Atlanta area meant having access to advocacy supports. For example, thanks to an advocacy group in Georgia, autism parents could have informed volunteers accompany them to IEP meetings. "These [Roanoke-area] parents don't appear to have that," Way says.
According to a study prepared by the U.S. Department of Education, one in three young adults with autism have had no paid job experience after high school (and no enrollment in college or technical school, either), as USA Today reported [9] in May 2012.
Julia Triassi, 21, is one adult with Asperger's syndrome who isn't sitting at home, despite the fact that she lives in Mansfield, Georgia (population: 413). Triassi is an entrepreneur, university student, and part-time employee as well. Triassi's family moved to Mansfield from New York in 2007, and the move was a huge transition for her. Despite having been diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety, she was a top student in high school class in New York. She received her diagnosis of AS just before her high school graduation, and recalls struggling in traditional classrooms settings before the diagnosis. She says, "I'd get distracted in classes … and having lots of people talking at once bothers me." However, Triassi's exceptional memory helped her to succeed in school. And, she says, she's always known what she wanted to study. "Other students are often unsure of what they want to do, whereas people with Asperger's [tend to] have focus. I know what I want to do and I'm good at it." Triassi's plans reflect this determination; she'll attend the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga starting in August 2013. She plans to major in photography and multimedia studies. She'll also attend a year-long socialization class and work with a tutor through the University's autism-specific MoSAIC Program [10]. She is nervous about the transition, but looks forward to being a student again. Triassi is moving forward with her education, but in order to do so successfully, she's had to make plans to leave Mansfield.
While Triassi has been able to develop her skills and interests, she has had difficulty finding work that fits her well. Triassi currently works at Ingles (a gas station with a grocery store) where she does inventory, and also has a growing wedding photography business. What does Triassi love most about being a photographer? She says, "I escape into my own world. I see things differently than other people see things, and that means I get cool shots, from a different perspective." In this way, she says, being on the spectrum has been an advantage. However, she finds that living in a rural area can mean fewer potential clients, and lower-paying gigs as well.
Burns' son worked for a tourist business last summer, but is currently unemployed. The family is working with Vocational Rehabilitation and a job coach in hopes of finding a year-round position. Eric would prefer not to work as a dishwasher, but those are the only jobs he's being offered. (Burns is thankful to have a good job herself, one that has allowed her to adjust her hours to coincide with her son's school hours in the past.) She's helping her son with his job search now, but she says, "There are very few jobs for him to apply to ..."
Likewise, Carmon feels solidarity with other autism parents, saying, says, "We have a hard time finding jobs for our kids." However, she's committed to having her son in the workforce, be it through paid or volunteer work. And her determination has paid dividends. She laughs, saying, "I'm quite assertive. I can make things happen. Families who don't know where the resources are … they just let their kids do whatever they want, and they don't progress." With these words, Carmon echoes Leonard's description of the "typical" young autistic adult sitting at home playing video games all day. To avoid this fate for her son, Carmon has leveraged the opportunities afforded by her small-town location. She knows that bigger isn't always better and has found that being in a smaller town can means tighter social networks, which can translate to job opportunities. "Every job my son has gotten is through friends," she says. Steele excels at jobs that require physical labor, though he struggles with communication skills. "You've got to be patient with him," his mother says, "And in small towns, [people] are more likely to be patient." Indeed, with the support of job coaches, Steele has stocked shelves, stuffed envelopes at the Chamber of Commerce, opened Happy Meal boxes at McDonald's, and hauled Christmas trees. However, Carmon says, her son's favorite job was with a landscaping company. He'd clear football fields by hand. "It was the perfect job for him," she says, "He needs physical labor and minimal interaction, and he lined things up all day!" He's currently an office worker at a local day program.
Urban, suburban, and rural families are all searching to find employment for their young adults on the spectrum. So why does one adult sit at home playing video games while another finds a job? To be sure, an individual's level of functioning is a major factor. As an April 2013 NPR story [11] noted, many autistic adults have tremendous technical prowess, and an ability to focus on tasks they enjoy. But other determining factors can prove significant as well. As the Burns and Carmon families' stories show, the tenacity of parents and caregivers and the personal connection to possible employers are both important. And in some cases, living in a rural area may help facilitate these factors.
Leonard concurs that there is an upside to smaller communities when it comes to employment. She notes that there are opportunities for supported employment in her area, but most are sheltered workshops; she estimates that, "Eighty-five percent are not appropriate for individuals on the spectrum." Though job opportunities have been scarce, Leonard says that personal connections are key. "If there's anything that allows for an individual on the spectrum to find a job ... it's usually because there's a connection." This holds true for both urban and rural areas, Leonard notes. However, the sparser populations and closely-knit communities found in many rural areas can translate to a greater likelihood of making those key connections.

Is there an addon, option, script or anything else that I can use to see the boss % of health left on his health bar???
It could help me to increase my dps in certain fights where boss mechanics depend on their health left.

Many addons give this, depends what you want over all, not sure which ones only do that for example I use ElvUI as I discovered it did 80% of what all my other addons did but using less memory and with less faff.
All unitframe addons have this. I'm using pitbull but there are many others.
You can do this with the standard UI i thought?.
Since I want only that, which unitframe addon changes the default ui the least?
Go through settings and check the "Show percentage" box? lol
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor , Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler , Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP4 TH ATX LGA1155 Motherboard , Corsair Vengeance LP 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory , Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive , Samsung 830 Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Disk , Gigabyte GeForce GTX 680 2GB Video Card
Yep, you can do it on the default UI. Check your settings, no need for an addon.
How you survive with the default UI is beyond me, but hey. :P
Game menu -> Interface -> Status text -> click the "Display Percentages" option
I think tha'ts what you asking for and it doesn't take any addons?
If you want both at the same time, that's coming next patch iirc. It's already in Mobinfo2, which tracks a whole lot more besides.
If you like to show them both health and percentage I've used this one: http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/simple-unit-frames
"SimpleUnitFrames is an extension to the default WoW Unit Frames."
UnitFramesImproved does this and works great without changing the ui too much. I specially like the scaling option. I highly recommend it.

5.2 will allow you to see the boss percent and current boss hp.
Or if you'd prefer to use bad unit frames that don't have %, you can use WeakAuras for your execute as well.
If you don't use gaming hardware *cough* healing might be quite difficult without clique/similar, just because you can easily run out of good binds.
Their resource/health bars are hard to work with as well and have unnecessary graphic bloat in my opinion as well, which is why I mentioned SUF up top.

I have been using incredimail 2 for a while now on my Windows 10 laptop, it has one issue of failing to start occasionally which has not bothered me too much. Recently i was advised that upgrading to incredimail 2.5 would fix that problem as 2.5 is completely compatible with Windows 10 so I purchased incredimail 2.5(plus) I then backed up my incredimail 2 Data and Settings and updated to incredimail 2.5 and restored data and settings, All went well except for a very big issue with Identities, It didn't restore any of my most current emails and folders only older ones. I then reverted back to incredimail 2, restored the data and settings and all my new emails and folders are there, I then installed Incredibackup which was part of the plus package and backed up my account with this app and to check that the data was intact i restored the account back and all new emails and folders were their. OK so now i totally uninstalled incredimail 2 to make sure their were no strange anomalies, I re-installed incredimail 2.5, restored the data from increbackup account restore and once again none of my new emails and folders were there, only the older ones so once again I reverted back to my old incredimail 2 and restored from incredibackup and all was well.I went one step further to see if it was an issue with my laptop and installed incredimail 2.5 on my windows 10 desktop computer which has never had an email client installed on it, the same again, only older emails and folders none of the newer ones even tried restoring from the the original incredimail 2 data and settings data cabs, no difference it's like my new emails and folders never existed. I have tried all permutations including manually restoring the data from Identities, deleting all but the newest identity in the identities folder and still I can't get my new emails and folders back.
I have now gone back to my old incredimail 2 client with all my new emails and folders intact. I will have to live with the client crashing every now and then.
Since posting this, incredimail has not helped with the backup issue but has come back to me with a fix for Version 2 crashing on Windows 10 and since applying the fix incredimail 2 seems to be behaving itself, so here it is.
To manually implement the crash fix in IncrediMail 2.0, please do the following:
1. Exit the IncrediMail application by right-clicking on the icon in your Windows taskbar and selecting "Exit".
2. In Windows Explorer, browse to the following path:C:\Program Files (x86)\IncrediMail\Bin
3. Rename the file "PMC.dll" to "PMC.dll.old".
4. Relaunch the IncrediMail application.
Hope this helps fix the issue for many of you.
Restore backup from 2 to 2.5 not working
Use this forum to get a solution for any technical issue that you have with IncrediMail (not send/receive problems).

In a day of especially grim news for the book business, Random House, the world's largest publisher of consumer books, announced a sweeping reorganization aimed at trimming costs, while Simon & Schuster laid off 35 people.
The moves signaled just how bad sales have become in bookstores and followed the news this week that the publisher of the adult division of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, the house that represents authors including Philip Roth and José Saramago, had resigned, presumably in protest of a temporary freeze on the acquisition of new books.
Industry insiders were already calling it "Black Wednesday" as news trickled out about further layoffs at Houghton Mifflin, a cut of 10 percent of the staff at Thomas Nelson, the world's largest publisher of English-language Bibles, a freeze on raises at the Penguin Group unit of Pearson and a delay of pay increases at HarperCollins, the books division of the News Corporation.
The news at Random House, which included the resignations of the heads of two of its largest groups, followed months of speculation about the company. Ever since Bertelsmann, the German media conglomerate that owns the publishing group, appointed Markus Dohle, formerly head of the company's printing unit, to head Random House in May, most people assumed he would consolidate some imprints and make staffing changes.
In a memorandum to the staff on Wednesday, Mr. Dohle said that Irwyn Applebaum, publisher of the Bantam Dell Publishing Group, and Stephen Rubin, publisher of the Doubleday Publishing Group, had stepped down. In a separate message, Mr. Dohle said that he was in discussions with Mr. Rubin about "creating a new role for him at Random House."
Bantam Dell publishes authors including Dean Koontz and Danielle Steel. Doubleday's authors include John Grisham and Dan Brown.
Mr. Dohle did not announce any further layoffs on Wednesday. But in an interview, a spokeswoman, Carol Schneider, said publishers would be reviewing their staffs. "There may be some difficult choices that they're going to have to make down the road," she said.
In a message to the Simon & Schuster staff, Carolyn K. Reidy, the president and chief executive, said the 35 layoffs at the company resulted from "an unavoidable acknowledgment of the current bookselling marketplace." Rick Richter, president of the Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Division, also left the company. Ms. Reidy said Mr. Richter resigned to "explore other opportunities in publishing."
Simon & Schuster, publisher of authors including Stephen King and Bob Woodward, is the books division of the CBS Corporation.
The shakeout in the industry comes during what publishers and booksellers have described as the worst retailing environment in memory. Recently, Leonard S. Riggio, chairman and largest shareholder of Barnes & Noble, predicted a dreadful holiday shopping season and wrote in an internal memorandum that "never in all my years as a bookseller have I seen a retail climate as poor as the one we are in."
The deterioration in book sales appears to have come late in the year. According to Nielsen BookScan, which tracks about 70 percent of retail sales, sales for the year are actually up slightly. But several publishers said that sales in October and November had weakened drastically.
The industry was bracing for more layoffs. Last month, John Sargent, chief executive of Macmillan, whose publishing houses include Farrar, Straus and Giroux and St. Martin's Press, said in a companywide meeting that he could not guarantee that everyone would have a job going forward. Mr. Sargent declined to comment. Macmillan is part of the Georg von Holtzbrinck publishing group.
"During good times, you can better absorb a variety of lines not doing well than you can when the economy is in this kind of condition," Robert Gottlieb, chairman of the literary agency Trident Media, said.
At Random House, Mr. Dohle announced changes that elevated the roles of Sonny Mehta, head of the Knopf Publishing Group; Gina Centrello, head of the so-called Little Random unit; and Jenny Frost, president of the Crown Publishing Group, publisher of two memoirs by President-elect Barack Obama.
Mr. Mehta's empire will expand to include the Doubleday and Nan A. Talese imprints, merging authors like Margaret Atwood and Jonathan Lethem with Knopf's writers, like John Updike and Toni Morrison.
Ms. Centrello, who oversees the Random House Publishing Group, which includes the Ballantine division, will assume Bantam Dell, the Dial Press and Doubleday's Spiegel & Grau. Ms. Frost will take over imprints including Doubleday Business, Doubleday Religion and Broadway Books.
Many people in the industry were not surprised that Mr. Applebaum was resigning from Bantam, considered Random House's weak link. A significant part of its business is the mass market segment, the smaller paperback format of thrillers and romances, whose sales have declined over several years.
But industry veterans were surprised that Mr. Rubin, who is well regarded in the business, was being removed from his post and that the Doubleday Group was being dismantled, despite a particularly bad year.
Dan Brown, author of "The Da Vinci Code," failed to deliver his next novel, originally set for release in 2005. Jon Krakauer, author of the adventure hits "Into the Wild" and "Into Thin Air," withdrew his book about Pat Tillman, the former football star killed in Afghanistan, originally scheduled for an October release.
To top it off, "The Gargoyle," a first novel for which Doubleday reportedly paid $1.25 million, flopped, selling 34,000 copies in hardcover, according to Nielsen BookScan. In October, Doubleday laid off 10 percent of its staff.

NUI Galway astronomers make important pulsar discovery
Researchers at the Centre for Astronomy, NUI Galway have made an important discovery regarding brown dwarfs which has revealed that these "failed stars" can possess powerful magnetic fields and emit lighthouse beams of radio waves thousands of times brighter than any detected from the Sun.
The team of Gregg Hallinan, Stephen Bourke and Caoilfhionn Lane; scientists based at the Armagh Observatory; and US researchers in New Mexico and Arizona, has discovered that the brown dwarfs are behaving like pulsars, one of the most exotic types of object in our Universe.
"Brown dwarfs tend to be seen as a bit boring – the cinders of the galaxy. Our research shows that these objects can be fascinating and dynamic systems, and may be the key to unlocking this long-standing mystery of how pulsars produce radio emissions," said Mr Hallinan who presented his findings at a recent meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society in Preston, UK.
Since the discovery of pulsars 40 years ago, astronomers have been trying to understand how the rotating neutron stars produce their flashing radio signals. Although there have been many attempts to describe how they produce the extremely bright radio emissions, the vast magnetic field strengths of pulsars and the relativistic speeds involved make it extremely difficult to model.
The researchers have found that brown dwarfs are now the second class of stellar object observed to produce this kind of powerful, amplified (coherent) radio signal at a persistent level. The emissions from the brown dwarfs appear to be very similar to those observed from pulsars, but the whole system is on a much slower and smaller scale, so it is much easier to decipher exactly what is going on. Importantly, the mechanisms for producing the radio emissions in brown dwarfs are well understood, as they are almost identical to the processes that produce radio emissions from planets.
Dr Aaron Golden, lecturer at the Department of Information Technology, who supervised the group said: "The observations that yielded this discovery involved the use of some of the world s finest astronomical facilities, but it was sheer hard work and focussed, inspired analysis that have put astronomical research at NUI Galway on a global stage.
"I think it is particularly important to stress that such world class research being lead by astronomers at NUI, Galway is a testament to the quality and ability of our postgraduate students on campus, and a vindication of the University s recent decision to approve the setting up of the Centre for Astronomy."
Mr Hallinan added; "It looks like brown dwarfs are the missing step between the radio emissions we see generated at Jupiter and those we observe from pulsars".
The group is now planning a large survey of all the known brown dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood to find out how many are radio sources and how many of those are pulsing. If a large fraction of brown dwarfs are found to pulse, it could prove a key method of detection for these elusive objects.

Changing article background color based on creation date
From Joomla! Documentation
Suppose you want to show articles on your frontpage layout in different colors, depending on how old the article is. You can do this with a little bit of work using a template override. Here is a general link about template overrides: http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_override_the_output_from_the_Joomla!_core.
The file you need to override is components/com_content/views/frontpage/tmpl/default_item.php. You would copy this file to <your template>/html/com_content/frontpage/default_item.php. Depending on your template, this file might already be there as an existing override file. In that case, just modify that file. For this example, we'll use the rhuk_milkyway template, so I copied it to templates/rhuk_milkyway/html/com_content/frontpage/default_item.php.
Ok, here is the idea. At this point in the program (when we're in the default_items.php program), the article create date is available as
$this->item->created. So we can use that date, compared to the current date, to see how old the article is. Then we can add a different CSS class for articles of different ages.
To make the code easier to work with, we'll create a separate file for the method to calculate the dates and set the CSS class. I called this file templates/rhuk_milkyway/html/com_content/frontpage/myfrontpagehelper.php. Here is the code:
* Gets class based on today's date and article date
* @param $date
* @return string containing CSS class name
class MyFrontpageHelper {
function MyFrontPageHelper() {
function getCSSClassFromDate($date) {
$dateClass = ''; // default to blank
// subtract create date from current date. both dates in seconds
$elapsedDays = (time() - strtotime($date)) / 86400; // 86400=number of seconds per day
if ($elapsedDays <= 7) $dateClass = 'dateCurrent';
if (($elapsedDays > 7) && ($elapsedDays <= 14)) $dateClass = 'dateLastWeek';
if ($elapsedDays > 14) $dateClass = "dateOld";
return $dateClass;
This new class just has a constructor and one method. In the method, we're setting the class to "dateCurrent" if it's less than 7 days old, "dateLastWeek" if it's 7 to 14 days old, and "dateOld" if it's more than 14 days old.
Now, we can use this method to style our front page inside the override default_items.php file. The first thing we need to do is include this new program file. We do that at the top of the default_items.php file, right after the "defined..." line, as follows:
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
Notice that we use the
require_once statement. We need to use this (as opposed to the
include statement) because this code gets executed multiple times, once for each article. So the
require_once statement makes sure we only include this file the first time.
Now we can get the date-based class name by calling this method with the current article's date. Where do we put the class? It depends on what we want to style. For example, say we want to style the article title block. In that case we would change line 11 (for the rhuk_milkyway template) as follows:
<?php if ($canEdit || $this->item->params->get('show_title') || $this->item->params->get('show_pdf_icon') || $this->item->params->get('show_print_icon') || $this->item->params->get('show_email_icon')) : ?>
<table class="contentpaneopen <?php echo MyFrontpageHelper::getCSSClassFromDate($this->item->created); ?>">
In line 11, instead of adding the Page Class Suffix, we're adding the special date CSS style by calling our new method. Notice that there is a space between the "contentpaneopen" style and the new date style. That is important, since that adds the date style as a second CSS style instead of changing the name of the contentpaneopen style.
Before we can test this, we need to make sure we have some articles in the proper date range. So I went into the Article Manager and changed the create dates so that some articles were current, some were 7-14 days old, and some were older. After doing that, I checked the HTML page source for the front page to make sure the class was being added correctly. Here is an example of what you should see:

Joomla! Security Strike Team
So our new "dateCurrent" class is being added as a separate class.
Now, we just have to add styling in our CSS file. I added this to the end of the file templates/rhuk_milkyway/css/template.css:
.contentpaneopen.dateCurrent {
background: #F0FFFF;
.contentpaneopen.dateLastWeek {
background: #FFF8DC;
.contentpaneopen.dateOld {
background: #DCDCDC;
Notice we're using both the contentpaneopen and the new "date" classes in the CSS selector. With the changes, the front page looks like this:
We could change the background of the article text by adding the new class to line 53, as shown below:
<?php echo $this->item->event->beforeDisplayContent; ?>
<table class="contentpaneopen <?php echo MyFrontpageHelper::getCSSClassFromDate($this->item->created); ?>">
With this change, the front page now looks like this:
The exact location of where you use the new classes will depend on your template and what type of styling you want to do.

Lovelace, 55, landed on teenager Derrik Munoz, who was sitting on a massage chair on the mall's ground floor, talking with his girlfriend. The 17-year-old Munoz was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was announced to be in stable condition later that day.
According to eyewitnesses, Lovelace was accompanied by two teenagers when she scaled a glass barrier and, as passersby began to scream, jumped off.
"She told her [companion] to hold her pocketbook and [then] she jumped," said one shopper, Briteny Jones, who witnessed the suicide. "I almost fainted because I've never seen anyone die."
The suicide shocked shoppers and storeowners, and the many teenagers there on spring break. Several minutes of chaos ensued before Queens Center Mall security could get control of the situation. Within minutes police arrived, cordoned off the area, and closed down that part of the mall.
"Everybody started running and screaming," after the fall, said Raul Martinez, an employee at the Armani Exchange store who saw the jump. "It was very disturbing," Martinez said. "Her head was literally all over the floor."
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown surveyed the scene but his office declined to comment on the incident. (Daniel Bush)

As well as bringing forward new sites in saturated markets, this technology looks likely to open up whole countries to wind energy.
Around 50% of locations with potential for wind-farm development globally are classed as low wind, with wind speeds of 7.5m/s or lower. The principal factor that has encouraged manufacturers and developers to investigate this market is that many countries are saturated with wind farms, with the best sites already developed. Low-wind turbines are therefore proving popular in southern Germany and parts of the US.
Proximity to population centres
China and India have a large number of sites with low-wind resources. In China, the government is specifically targeting low wind to mitigate the transmission problems the industry has faced in more remote areas. Low-wind sites are typically closer to the higher population densities in Beijing and Shanghai and therefore suffer less from curtailment. Almost 70% of China experiences low-wind conditions, in particular, the central and southern provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou.
In 2011, the government's 12th five-year plan set a target for 20GW of wind to come from such sites, out of a total of 100GW wind it wanted to see developed. It offers a specific tariff for low wind, at CNY 0.61/kWh ($0.010/kWh) compared to CNY 0.51-0.58/kWh for higher wind-speed areas (see map, below).
More efficient turbines
Technology developments are coming on apace (see page 6). Longer blades, taller towers and smaller generators are minimising the amount of energy production lost due to the lower wind speeds. German manufacturer Nordex reports that some turbines it has installed in low wind sites are achieving capacity factors of 40%, which is a figure more normally seen offshore. However, increased capacity factors come with an increased capital price tag.
If a developer simply transfers existing equipment to a low-wind site, typically they will lose energy if nothing else is done, explains David Williams, senior renewables analyst at consultancy GL Garrad Hassan. Power curves need to be designed to maximise yield. "You're not going to catch-up entirely with a site that's got better resource, but you can minimise your additional expenditure," he says.
Juan Diego Diaz, marketing director at Spanish turbine manufacturer Gamesa, agrees that power curves are an issue. "What we are doing is trying to adapt power curves to specific sites," he says. "We have developed technology to tune the power curve and adapt it to every site and even every single position. This is the future. Advanced control systems are becoming more important day by day."
Manufacturers have been doing well off the back of the new designs. Some have made a strategic decision to focus on the low-wind market rather than on offshore. One of these is Nordex, which announced in 2012 that it was cancelling its 6MW offshore turbine in favour of developing its N117 2.4MW low-wind model.
It has now installed 188 of these machines since serial production began last summer. "This is our bread-and-butter machine at the moment," a Nordex spokesman says. "Eighty per cent of new orders in the first quarter of this year are based on this turbine."
Gamesa reports that 25% of the 2.6GW it installed in 2012 was in the low-wind market.
Enercon has also been targeting the low to medium speed wind market. The company has the advantage of dominating one of the main low-wind markets - Germany - with more than 50% of market share, according to consultancy Deutsche Windguard.
Southern Germany, specifically Bavaria, is regarded as a key area for development of low-wind sites since it needs to reduce its reliance on nuclear power as part of Germany's "Energiewende" and has few wind farms at present.
Enercon launched its E115 2.5MW turbine last September, following the launch of the E92 2.3MW model in May 2012. The firm recently signed a deal with Finnish power company Kotkan Energie Oy to provide the first E92s to a project in Finland, where wind speeds are typically low.
Those developing low-wind sites have specific obstacles to overcome, not least the logistics associated with transporting longer blades and taller towers. The ability to find solutions will depend on the market in which the turbines are being installed.
"In Europe you can find suppliers that have very big trucks to transport almost anything you want," Diaz says. "A 54-56 metre blade is not an issue in Europe. But a 56-metre blade is almost not possible in most of the sites in India." In response to this, Gamesa has designed a low-wind turbine specifically for the Indian market, the G97 with 47.5-metre blades.
Such innovation could bring wind power to entirely new markets that were previously not considered viable. Thailand is one such example. Chinese manufacturers are already eyeing the potential, with Goldwind signing a deal for three GW109/2500 low-wind turbines for the Theppana wind farm in the north-east of Thailand in September. "Thailand has a very good tariff and, compared to other countries in that region, it has easier finance and a more stable political structure," says Liming Qiao, China director at the Global Wind Energy Council.
Gamesa's Diaz believes that low-wind technologies will help countries in the Middle East and Africa that urgently need more energy, such as Saudi Arabia, Quatar, Namibia and Kenya. "Low wind technologies will allow countries to install cost-competitive megawatts," he says.
The potential for low wind to open up new sites could be substantial, says Williams of GL Garrad Hassan. "If you looked beforehand at 7m/s as your cut-off mark for what is an economic site, and this technology can bring that down to 6.5-6.7m/s, then you're going to be opening a good new tranche of sites," he says. "Low wind is not a game changer — it's working at the edges of the envelope, but it's pushing it a bit wider," he says.

Japengo's Kamaaina Menu: a Reason to Head to Waikiki
Hamachi and ikura (left) and blackened opah
Japengo, the Hyatt Regency's Japanese-ish restaurant, hopes to give locals at least one more reason to head into Waikiki. Chef Jon Matsubara, formerly of Azure and Stage restaurants, has created a tasting menu to appeal specifically to kamaaina—which means lots of seafood at $49, and it's worth every dollar. (We actually had trouble getting the kamaaina rate, but Hyatt's PR reassured us that the menu is indeed $49.)
The four-course menu, which includes a glass of wine, starts with a chilled hamachi and ikura appetizer—bright gems of ikura bursting against the silky slices of hamachi, all pierced through with serious umami from the pickled radish and jalapeno slaw. Then comes the Ocean Cappuccino, a sort-of cioppino–seafood chowder hybrid, with layers of kaffir and lemongrass and chunks of lobster, Alaskan crab and prawn, and not a morsel was over cooked, a rarity in seafood soups. The mug of soup was the highlight of the meal, and on our next visit to Japengo, we're hoping to see it on the menu as a stand-alone item (because then we'll get more of it).
The main course is a choice of butter-poached filet mignon with black truffle sauce or the blackened fish selection, which was opah on our night. The steak was cooked well but next time we'll get the fish and skip the steak. Maybe it's just us, but the truffle oil preparation has become just another underwhelming addition to fancy steak (or even not-so-fancy steak), so at a place best known for its seafood, get the fish.
By the time the flourless chocolate cake bar arrives, you're wondering how you managed to reach food-coma state so swiftly, and with such class. But ignore the coming discomfort of pushing yourself over the edge just long enough to finish off the small scoop of mascarpone cream that makes leaving the whole bar on the plate impossible.
It's time to brave Waikiki. Because where else can you get a four-course meal prepared by one of the most celebrated chefs around, a glass of wine and valet parking for $49?
Butteryaki scallops
If you stray from the set menu, we suggest you do it with the butteryaki scallops and the sweetened condensed milk-glazed macadamia nut shrimp. Both are jumbo versions of themselves—massive meaty and melt-in-your mouth scallops and sweet shrimp the size of prawns—and both are good reasons to maybe go a la carte at Japengo. After trying the set menu, that is.
Japengo, Hyatt Regency, 3rd floor, chef's tasting menu $49, 237-6140

During President Obama's first term, there was hidden friction between powerful Cabinet secretaries and a White House that wanted control over the foreign-policy process. Now Obama has assembled a new team that, for better or worse, seems more likely to follow the White House lead.
The first term featured the famous "team of rivals," people with heavyweight egos and ambitions who could buck the White House and get away with it. Hillary Clinton and Bob Gates were strong secretaries of state and defense, respectively, because of this independent power. Leon Panetta had similar stature as CIA director, as did David Petraeus, who became CIA director when Panetta moved to the Pentagon.
The new team has prominent players, too, but they're likely to defer more to the White House. Secretary of State John Kerry has the heft of a former presidential candidate, but he has been a loyal and discreet emissary for Obama and is likely to remain so. Chuck Hagel, who will probably be confirmed next week as defense secretary, is a feisty combat veteran with a sometimes sharp temper, but he has been damaged by the confirmation process and will need White House cover.
John Brennan, the nominee for CIA director, made a reputation throughout his career as a loyal deputy. This was especially true these past four years, when he carried the dark burden of counterterrorism policy for Obama.
It's a Washington truism that every White House likes Cabinet consensus and hates dissent. But that's especially so with Obama's team, which has centralized national security policy to an unusual extent. This starts with national security adviser Tom Donilon, who runs what his fans and critics agree is a "tight process" at the National Security Council (NSC). Donilon was said to have been peeved, for example, when a chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff insisted on delivering a dissenting view to the president.
This centralizing ethos will be bolstered by a White House team headed by Denis McDonough, the new chief of staff, who is close to Obama in age and temperament. Tony Blinken, who was Vice President Biden's top aide, has replaced McDonough as NSC deputy director, and State Department wunderkind Jacob Sullivan, who was Clinton's most influential adviser, is expected to replace Blinken. That's lot of intellectual firepower for enforcing a top-down consensus.
The real driver, obviously, will be Obama, and he has assembled a team with some common understandings. They share his commitment to ending the war in Afghanistan and avoiding new foreign military interventions, as well as his corresponding belief in diplomatic engagement. None has much experience managing large bureaucracies. They have independent views, to be sure, but they owe an abiding loyalty to Obama.
In Obama's nomination of people skeptical about military power, you can sense a sharp turn away from his December 2009 decision for a troop surge in Afghanistan. The White House felt jammed by the military's pressure for more troops, backed by Gates and Clinton. Watching Obama's lukewarm support for the war after 2009, one suspected he felt pushed into what he eventually concluded was a mistake. Clearly, he doesn't intend to repeat that process.
Obama's choice for CIA director is also telling. The White House warily managed Petraeus, letting him run the CIA but keeping him away from the media. In choosing Brennan, the president opted for a member of his inner circle with whom he did some of the hardest work of his presidency. Brennan was not a popular choice at the CIA, where some view him as having been too supportive of the Saudi government when he was station chief in Riyadh in the 1990s; these critics argue that Brennan didn't push the Saudis hard enough for intelligence about the rising threat of Osama bin Laden. But agency officials know, too, that the CIA prospers when its director is close to the president, which will certainly be the case with Brennan and Obama.
Obama has some big problems coming at him in foreign policy, starting with Syria and Iran. Both will require a delicate mix of pressure and diplomacy. To get the balance right, Obama will need a creative policy debate where advisers "think outside the box," to use the management cliche.
Presidents always say that they want that kind of open debate, and Obama handles it better than most. But by assembling a team where all the top players are going in the same direction, he is perilously close to groupthink.

Advocacy group League of American Bicyclists released its Bicycle Friendly Community list and several bay area communities made the cut. But first, the best of the best (Platinum Award): Boulder, Colorado; Davis, California; and Portland, Oregon.
For sure these are three of the most bike friendly communities in the U.S. and it goes without saying many cyclists live there.
Now for the bay area. The results are not so impressive, but at least they rated:
Gold Award
Palo Alto
San Francisco
Stanford University
Silver Award
Presidio of San Francisco
Bronze Award
Los Altos
Menlo Park
Mountain View
San Jose
It's hard to find fault here. San Jose's city employees and leaders deserve recognition for trying hard, but it's an uphill battle. Still, they're making progress.
I just finished a ride including Bryant Street (Ellen Fletcher Bicycle Boulevard) in Palo Alto and this route is one reason why the city received a gold award. I've heard rumors that other communities are considering similar routes. Good idea.

Oct. 11 Buck Showalter postgame interview
Q. After the game it seemed like a couple of your players were exhausted that we talked to. What was it like to manage that game?
BUCK SHOWALTER: Well, I don't have to play. If somebody says you don't look well or you're limping or whatever, I don't have to play. They do it. Fortunately or unfortunately we have some experience at this. No, this time of year you find an auxiliary tank, so to speak.
It's tough. I can't say that I know exactly what they're going through. You try to put yourself in their shoes, but it's just a real test mentally and emotionally. There's a lot of ebbs and flows there. But the pitching on both sides was outstanding.
Q. Both games you've lost this series you walked in here and I guess we expected something else, but you shrugged and said we'll play again tomorrow.
BUCK SHOWALTER: Well, I don't take for granted at any time what these guys are accomplishing so far. They know that. I have so much respect for our guys and what level they choose to compete at. But it's hard to do what they do, and it's what separates them. They look at a night like tonight and tomorrow as an opportunity to shine and separate themselves, and I'm sure so do the Yankees. Anything worth accomplishing comes with some real prices to pay. It's like when you get that gift as a child that you didn't really work for or didn't really deserve, it didn't mean as much, but when you acquire something or you accomplish something that you really worked for, it means that much more.
You know, the baseball gods let you up off the deck if you stay true to the game, and that's the one common thing that these ‑‑ so far, so good. We've got a big challenge ahead of us tomorrow, but we have an opportunity.
Q. We've talked about this before. This was your 20th extra inning game, you're 17 and 3.
BUCK SHOWALTER: Looks like it, doesn't it?
Q. And you have a young team and some young guys in that bullpen. Do you ever marvel that these guys can hold on the way they do?
BUCK SHOWALTER: Oh, yeah, every day. Well, I think it's because we're able to pass the load around. We have so many guys ‑‑ if you go back through tonight's game, we needed every bullet to get an out in a key spot and pass the baton. I think it's unusual to have that many passes of the baton as we've had this year in these type of games without somebody dropping it.
I thought Pete was outstanding tonight. You go on, Darren O'Day, he gave me that look about going another inning, and it's not a good idea. We had another bullet down there in Tillman, who's been pitching well. Going through that spot of the order with Jimmy, too, was a challenge. I'm real proud of him.
But sleep fast and another challenge around the corner. I think we're thankful for the opportunity, and it's an honor to be playing Game 5 against a team like the Yankees.
Q. Tomorrow is kind of a different game as these go because it's a winner‑take‑all, but at the same time if you do win there's a game the next day. Does that change anything at all about how you deploy anybody or anything about how you handle that game?
BUCK SHOWALTER: Like I'm going to save somebody for the next round? No, it's all hands on deck. Everything is pointing towards those nine innings or more tomorrow. I'm sure the biggest challenge I'd have is talking somebody out of not being available.
Manny had a good night tonight. Made some plays at third base. Proud of him. Nate. Defensively we made some really good plays that I thought were difference makers.
Q. What were you looking for in Jason's workout yesterday? And is there any concern sending him out there knowing that this is a decisive Game 5 and it'll be his fourth start since mid‑July?
BUCK SHOWALTER: No, I think it's almost in his favor. He's got some bullets left where a lot of people may not.
No, Jason feels fine. He feels as good as he has all year. Of course nobody feels as good as they did ‑‑ last time someone was 100 percent was before Spring Training started. It's just the nature of the beast. I chuckle when somebody says, "I gave 110 percent." That's not possible. 100 percent isn't there to go get this time of year.
But no, Ham is ready to go.
Q. Was there anything in particular yesterday?
BUCK SHOWALTER: No, we're just looking at the workday, making sure the knee is still where it was the last time out. And he feels good.
Q. The differences between these two teams are pretty well documented, whether it's payroll, experience or that sort of thing, but the way you guys have played each other all year, you split the season series. And did it have to come down to this, winner‑take‑all Game 5 between these two teams?
BUCK SHOWALTER: You know, as good a team as they are, like I said, it's an honor to be in Game 5 with them. You knew all along that the road to where we want to try to get is going to have to pass through there and here. They deserve to be playing, having the home‑field advantage. You win 90‑something games, you know, you ‑‑ I don't get too overanalytical about it. We come and compete. Our team is a very easy team to trust. I don't think I've spent ‑‑ they don't take anything for granted, and I never try to state the obvious to them because they look at me like, have you been watching?

Pure Bourbon Vanilla Extract - 4oz
Bourbon vanilla is so named as it is sourced from what were once known as the Bourbon islands: Madagascar, the Comoros, the Seychelles, and Reunion Island. The vanilla from Madagascar is viewed as the finest in the world. This pure extract of Madagascar Bourbon vanilla has a rich, creamy, sweet, velvety flavor that is perfectly suited for a range of products from baked goods to ice creams, salad dressings to barbecue sauces. Ingredients for this extract are water, alcohol, sugar, and vanilla bean.
Vanilla beans, traditionally grown in Madagascar and Indonesia, are harvested from the only edible fruit-bearing orchids known. Each flower, open only once in its lifetime, must be hand-pollinated to produce a pod that will eventually become the vanilla bean. A labor intensive three to six month curing process is required in order for the pod to develop its fullest flavor. About five pounds of harvested pods produce only one pound of cured pods. Nielsen-Massey uses its exclusive cold-process method to extract the essence from select pods, the finest obtainable, producing rich and delicious flavor that is the best we've found.

FujiFilmFinePIxF10 full review
With its 6.3Mp CCD (charge-coupled device) and £299 price tag, the Finepix F10 is clearly trying to mix it with the big boys. But while Fuji pumps its money into that sizable CCD - and the F10 certainly captures decent-quality images - the rest of the camera gets left behind. Light on features and finesse, the F10 simply can't keep up with the competition.
This isn't to say it's not a competent machine. As well as that hefty CCD's effortless handling of detail and colour, the F10 has a high sensitivity range: up to ISO 1600. This provides some very decent images in fairly dim conditions - perfect for holiday snaps in gloomy cathedrals.
If you are looking for a camera to take on your travels, the F10 would do nicely - it's small enough for a pocket or day bag but still manages to sport a 3x zoom and a large (2.5in), clear LCD screen.
The F10 lacks an optical viewfinder, which can leave you a bit hamstrung in very bright light, but the white balance settings can cope as well with bright light as they do with dim, and in general the restricted number of settings means you don't spend too long fiddling around to get things right for the conditions. The menus are well laid-out and easy to navigate.
One objection we did have was that, although the shutter response is pretty quick, there was a rather long processing pause after taking shots on the higher-resolution setting. While this means you'll have a good chance of catching the action if your fingers are fast enough, you only get that first chance to do so.
