I will start my first 3D game, and for now I'm inclined to Ogre3D and C++. But Ogre3D isn't an engine. It is a 3D rendering library, and quoting another user here in GameDev: Ogre3D does not have integrated collision, physics, networking, sound, scripting, etc.
My question is, what the solutions for that "missing features"? Is there some good free/oss libraries to make that parts?

Global Overview – Trends and Outlook
The month saw Venezuela's political, economic and humanitarian crisis worsen amid heightened tensions between the government and opposition, a situation which could lead to state collapse and regional destabilisation. Another major setback in electing a new president in Haiti prompted fears of further civil unrest. In West Africa, deadly violence in central Mali and south-east Nigeria spiked, while a power struggle in Guinea-Bissau led to a dangerous standoff.
The month saw fighting escalate again in Syria and Afghanistan, and erupt in Nagorno-Karabakh between Armenian-backed separatists and Azerbaijani forces. In Bangladesh, election violence and killings by extremist groups showed how new heights of government-opposition rivalry and state repression have benefitted violent political party wings and extremist groups alike. Political tensions intensified in Iraq and Macedonia, and security forces severely supressed opposition protests in the Republic of Congo and Gambia.
The month saw conflict continue to rage in Turkey's south east between Ankara and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), looking likely to further escalate in March. Afghanistan and Somalia both saw armed insurgencies capture new territories. In Africa, political tensions rose in Chad, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, while in Venezuela, deadlock between the opposition-held parliament and government has brought the country closer to political and economic implosion.

A nun in western New York faces a criminal charge of grand larceny for allegedly stealing $128,000 from two rural parishes where she worked.
Sister Mary Anne Rapp pleaded not guilty in court Monday night to a second-degree grand larceny charge, according to NBC affiliate WHEC in Rochester, N.Y. Rapp, 67, is a nun with the Sisters of St. Francis and has been working at St. Mark's and St. Mary's Catholic Church in Holley, N.Y., WHEC reported. Holley is west of Rochester.
"She's been a nun for a very long time, been a very good person, never in any trouble before," said Rapp's attorney, James Harrington, according to The Associated Press. "She did great work wherever she was assigned."
Officials believe Rapp spent the money at casinos, and she reportedly had previously sought treatment for a gambling addiction.
"She spent 9 1/2 months in an in-patient treatment program and has maintained her recovery in the year since," said Sister Edith Wyss, provincial minister for the Sisters of St. Francis, according to the AP.

Orleans County District Attorney Joseph Cardone in western New York said the embezzled money amounts to $128,000, WHEC reported.
A routine audit had found "some irregularities" and Rapp is accused of taking the money between 2006 and 2010, said a spokesman for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, according to the AP.
The spokesman, Kevin Keenan, could not say how the alleged thefts had affected the day-to-day parish operations.
"These are smaller parishes in a rural part of the diocese," Keenan said, according to the AP. "Regardless of the size, this would be a significant amount of money for any parish."
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

My personal* view is that Dissensus should not be a free notice board for anybody who wants to show up here just to plug their events.
However a number of people who actually contribute to these boards do arrange events and I guess other people may organise things which people here may be interested in.
Here are four pieces of very simple guidance:
1) The Events Releases and Mixes forum is the correct place for publicising your event. If you post an announcement in Music it will be moved here by a Moderator. If you then place another advert in Music it will be deleted. (And I for one will start to get mildly irked with you.)
2) ALWAYS include the location of your event in the title of the thread. (The town will usually suffice, I think.)
3) Gratuitous bumping of threads which have no replies from other posters is bad practice. It's at the bottom of the page for a reason, folks.
4) I would feel a lot happier about event spam if it included an offer of cheaper entry for people who post here.
[actually I'm no longer a moderator on Dissensus - so I won't be doing this myself, it will be the current mods]

Science fiction is all about discovering the unknown — but sometimes you find love along the way. This is a great time to love romantic comedies with a science fiction twist, with the surprisingly sweet Safety Not Guaranteed in theaters, and the apocalyptic Seeking a Friend for the End of the World coming out tomorrow. But science fiction and fantasy have had a love affair with romantic comedies for years.
Here are the 10 greatest science fiction and fantasy-themed romantic comedies ever made.
We came up with our own list of the greatest speculative romcoms — but then to double check, we went and asked people on our Facebook page for their favorites. Thanks to everyone who pitched in. Here's the final list we came up with, including your input... And to be clear, we're sticking to movies here, and they have to be largely about romance, rather than comedies with a romantic subplot.
Oh, and people who said Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog was a great romantic comedy? I don't want to know you.
10 TiMER
This film starring Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Emma Caulfield has an ultra-contrived set-up, but enough wit and charm to make you buy into it. In the future, the TiMER corporation can fit you with a device that counts down until you meet your soulmate — as long as your soulmate is also equipped with a TiMER implant. Caulfield plays a dentist whose TiMER is blank, meaning her soulmate has never gotten hooked up. As we wrote in our review, this movie makes you think about whether it's possible to fall in love with someone, knowing your soulmate is still out there somewhere.
9 Splash
Pretty much the live-action mermaid romance film. People tend to remember it for John Candy dropping his change and trying to upskirt people — but it's actually the best Tom Hanks rom-com ever. Hanks makes a special connection with a mermaid when he's a little kid, and then meets her again as an adult and falls in love with her — but he doesn't know she's a mermaid. Similar to E.T., she's hunted by the authorities who want to study and dissect her, but meanwhile Tom Hanks has to struggle with his feelings for a woman who shares the first Gremlins rule: Don't get them wet.
8. Happy Accidents
In this indie Sundance movie from 2000, Vincent D'Onofrio plays a time traveler from 400 years in the future who falls in love with Marissa Tomei's photo, and travels back to the present to save her from being killed in a car accident. (The time travel and rewritten timelines in this film are complicated enough that someone has concocted a detailed explanation of them.) People praise this movie's clever dialogue, tight editing, and the super-strong chemistry.
7. Stardust
Neil Gaiman's novel becomes a beautifully stylized film by Matthew Vaughn, with a huge extra helping of whimsy. A boy named Tristan ventures beyond a very special wall into the kingdom of Stormhold, where he seeks a fallen star for his beloved Victoria. But the fallen star turns out to be a beautiful woman, sought by princes and witches for the eternal youth her heart can confer. On the run from everyone, Tristan and Yvaine grow closer, and eventually prove that true love really can vanquish all obstacles.
6. Somewhere in Time
Christopher Reeve plays a playwright who falls in love with the picture of an actress from 1912, and uses self-hypnosis to travel back in time to meet her. And he succeeds! But the woman's manager doesn't want them to be together, for fear it will derail her career. The love between Reeve and Jane Seymour plays out entirely like a case of self-hypnosis, in which Jane Seymour convinces herself that he's "the One" that she's been searching for, and even delivers an impromptu monologue in the middle of the play she's performing, in a trance-like state. But trances, including time-travel trances, can be broken... and so can hearts. This is one of the most unusual, and sweetest, time travel movies.
5. Electric Dreams
Miles and Madeline are in love — but there's just one catch. Miles' personal computer, Edgar, has attained sentience and is in love with Madeline too. Yes, it's probably the first human-human-computer love triangle. Can Madeline learn to love a mid-1980s PC? Or can a computer learn to accept the special love between two humans? Or maybe the three of them can just learn to live together... in Electric Dreams?
4. Scott Pilgrim Versus the World
This movie is all about Scott Pilgrim trying to win the heart of Ramona Flowers, by defeating her seven evil exes. It's about fighting for love, but it's also about being a better person — because the Power of Love turns out not to be as powerful as the Power of Self-Respect, including being honest with the people you love. This is a love story for the video game generation, full of cool references and style points, but also a lot of heart.
3. Groundhog Day
This "day-long stable time loop" movie basically became the name we use for that type of movie, instead of saying "oh, it's another day-long stable time loop movie." Within the time loop, Bill Murray can alter his behavior and thus change the outcome in various ways, but he still wakes up the same morning over and over. To a large extent, the film is about a cranky cynic becoming a better person. But you can't discount the extent to which it's about Murray winning the love of Andie MacDowell, the honest way: By learning more about her, and learning to open himself up to her. When Murray finally has a perfect day and breaks the time loop, it's because he's found love.
2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Is this movie really a romantic comedy? Well, it's funny as shit, and more romantic than five other rom-coms put together. It doesn't adhere to any of the rom-com formulas, but that's a feature rather than a bug. There's a brand new technology that allows you to erase your memories of a love affair that turned out badly — and Clementine (Kate Winslet) decides to have this done to wipe out her memories of Joel (Jim Carrey). Joel, in turn, decides to retaliate by erasing Clementine from his own memories — only to change his mind halfway through the process. A beautiful metaphor for the ways in which you rewrite your whole life history after a breakup, this film also shows how love can take root in a place deeper than memory.
1. The Princess Bride
By far, this was the most popular choice for "best science fiction/fantasy romantic comedy" on our Facebook page, and it's easy to see why. It's not just one of the most quotable movies of all time, but also one of the sweetest — in which you're sure Westley and Buttercup are destined to be together, even as she's betrothed to the terrible Prince Humperdinck. It's got everything: A loved one who's believed to be dead but just masquerading as a pirate, a last-minute rescue, and Rodents of Unusual Size. Image by KevinBolk/Deviant Art

A busload of reality television stars -- all from the same family -- will cruise through Virginia to support Republican Ken Cuccinelli's gubernatorial campaign.
The Duggar family from the TLC series "19 Kids and Counting'' is planning a three-day bus tour starting Monday. The Duggars will make stops in Lynchburg, Richmond, Virginia Beach, Fredericksburg and Woodbridge in support of Cuccinelli, the father of seven.
The tour is sponsored by Family Research Council Action. The executive director of the conservative advocacy group is 25-year-old Josh Duggar, the oldest of the 19 Duggar children. He, his wife and their own three children recently moved to the D.C. area, a transition chronicled on the family's show.
The Duggar family is familiar with the campaign trail: They publicly campaigned for former Sen. Rick Santorum in the 2012 presidential election, and family patriarch Jim Bob Duggar served as an Arkansas state representative from 1999 to 2003. He lost a primary bid for the U.S. Senate in 2002.

Good to see Hamilton finally getting his chance. Hopefully he does well on Tuesday and actually starts, instead of Wilson or Adams. Vettori's chances of playing in the next game are good as well, apparently the back injury isn't as bad as first thought. I would open the bowling with Cairns and Hamilton, we just need someone at the top who can be accurate, and I think Cairns can do that job for us.

Design & Technology
Steering is a very important part of your motorcycle trike riding experience. How your trike handles on various road conditions may determine your level of enjoyment. All motorcycles, when converted to a trike, have a certain amount of steering stiffness when cornering as well as a small amount of "headshake" at low speeds. We recommend raking the front forks of your motorcycle trike with a triple tree to ease the steering in corners and give you a power steering effect. By altering your steering geometry, you alter the rake and trail, which determines the ease of handling of your trike.
Rake & Trail
Rake is the angle measured between the steering axis and vertical. The steering axis is the line about which the steering system turns. Although the angle of the fork tubes from vertical is often the same as the rake angle, they are not always the same.
Trail is the distance measured from where the steering axis meets the ground to where a vertical line drawn though the front axle meets the ground. It can be thought of as the distance that the front wheel "trails" the steering axis.
The effects that rake and trail have on steering performance can best be explained using a shopping cart front wheel as an example. The front wheel of a shopping cart is a castor that has a vertical steering axis that is in front of the wheel. The vertical steering axis results in zero rake, and having the pivot in front of the wheel results in a significant amount of trail. This results in the front wheel tracking directly behind the pivot regardless of the direction the cart is pushed. If the vertical pivot axis were directly above the wheel axle, the wheel would not track directly behind the pivot. In this case both the trail and the rake would be zero resulting in a wheel that has as much possibility of turning sideways as it does going straight. This is a very unstable condition for both a shopping cart and a motorcycle.
Motorcycles and trikes both use a certain amount of rake and trail to ensure proper handling and steering response. In general, more rake provides greater straight-line stability, less rake makes the bike more responsive. This is why the forks on a sport-orientated motorcycle are more vertical than those on a cruiser or touring motorcycle. In short, smaller rake values result in quicker steering, while larger rake values result in slower steering.
Installation of a Lehman Trikes Triple Tree kit improves the trike riding experience by reducing the steering effort required to turn the trike, while making the steering more responsive. The triple tree kit modifies the fork tube angle moving the front wheel further out in front of the trike, reducing the trail.
Lehman Trikes has experimented with a variety of different triple tree angles and has determined the optimum angle for both the Honda Gold Wing and Harley-Davidson Touring models. The angle chosen reduces the steering effort and improves steering response while maintaining the stability required at higher speeds.
Suspension is the only component that separates the driver and/or passenger from the ground. The suspension in a trike helps absorb harshness in the road. There are basically two common suspension systems currently in use on trikes today. They can be identified as either "independent" or "solid axle." Lehman Trikes offers both our traditional "No-Lean" solid axle suspension and a high performance version of independent suspension, which we call our LLS (Limited Lean Suspension).
Lehman "No Lean" Suspension
Lehman Trikes "No-Lean" refers to the Lehman proprietary design, which minimizes flex in the swing-arm and rear-end system. This design features a differential rear-end with internal solid axles. The Lehman "No Lean" philosophy begins with a solid, one-piece swing arm that is designed to be the most sturdy and inflexible in the industry. What this does is completely minimize the Trike's ability to sway or roll to the outside of a corner. The noticeable benefits are increased stability and easy steering, especially at highway speeds. This is our simple "No Lean" philosophy that is responsible for the best handling Trikes for almost 30 years!
"No Lean" Suspension models include: Renegade for Harley-Davidson FLH, FLT, FLS.
LLS -"Limited Lean Suspension"
Lehman Trikes LLS "Limited Lean Suspension" is designed with light-weight aluminum components and dual coil-over shocks to provide a smooth and supple ride. The Dual H-Arm suspension provides proper geometry, giving you consistent handling and precise control in corners, down the highway, or around town.
Independent suspension allows each rear wheel to move vertically, independent of the other. The left and right sides of the suspension are connected by an anti-roll bar. The anti-roll bar ties the left and right wheels together and limits the amount of lean the trike exhibits when cornering. By optimizing the anti-roll bar design, the Lehman Limited Lean Suspension is able to deliver both a smooth ride and a confidence inspiring feel when cornering.
LLS models include: Renegade LLS for Harley-Davidson FLH & FLT, Trinity LLS for Harley-Davidson FLH & FLT, Monarch II LLS for Honda GL1800 & F6B

AMA Press Release:
Some of the most thrilling woods racing in the country will kick off on April 13 as the AMA Mid America XC National Championship Series gets under way in Madison, Ind. The 10-round hare scrambles series features a wide range of challenging venues that test riders' skills on everything from high-speed courses to tight single-track trail.
The series, which launched in 2010, continues to grow and flourish, attracting more AMA members every year. It is promoted by Mike Gibbs and Mid America XC in Monrovia, Ind.

Does anyone recommend any study resources? I spent an intense 3 months for AICP. If I take it this October I would only have a month to study. I am swamped with work this month and heavily involved in a state APA conference in early October. For those of you who took the exam, what are your thoughts regarding level of difficulty. I am not an engineer but am very good with numbers and had two semesters of calculus.

Rendon to learn, play second at Triple-A
ATLANTA -- Back in April, Anthony Rendon showed he could play Major League-caliber third base, filling in admirably in eight games for the injured Ryan Zimmerman.
Heading into June, it appears that the Nationals would like to see if their 2011 first-round Draft pick can do the same thing at second.
Rendon, the club's No. 1 prospect, according to MLB.com, was promoted to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday with the mission to get some action at both third and second.
Nationals manager Davey Johnson, who played 13 Major League seasons at second for the Baltimore Orioles, Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs, stressed that even with Rendon's experience there in high school and college, and even after giving Rendon what he called a "crash course" in the footwork around second, that mastering the footing around the base is vital not only to playing the position but, more important, staying healthy.
"It's very important to learn footwork," he said. "It took me probably two months to where I didn't have to see the bag. I became comfortable with coming from that angle. You need to be able to get to the bag, know where it is, then go to the ball, step toward the ball, make your pivot and without looking down at the bag and putting your foot on it. Because all that takes time and then also, fundamentally, if you peak at all and don't have position, then you get hung up and you really get hurt. So the transition is important and footwork is important."
Syracuse manager Tony Beasley also will come in handy in helping Rendon make the transition.
"I think Beasley can help him a great deal about what's required of him over there," said Johnson. "Beasley knows his way around that bag real well and he'll be able to help him. So, if he's playing down there in games, he won't be at risk."
Washington's starting second baseman Danny Espinosa entered Saturday's game hitting .164 with three homers and 12 RBIs, but has valiantly battled injuries, as he's playing through a torn rotator cuff and a chip fracture in his right wrist.

I will always remember that I was diagnosed as HIV positive on Oct. 4, 2012. Oddly enough, the question of whether or not I would go on medication wasn't really that big of a deal. Officially, at that time, there were still restrictions about when I could actually start treatment. You had to have a fairly low CD4 count, although this restriction has since been removed. But my GP (general practitioner) made it perfectly clear that, while it would always be my choice, he was very pro-treatment as prevention and would support me starting meds, regardless of my current health status.
And to be honest, for me, it felt like there really was no question. As a health professional, I know the value of getting treatment for ANY health problem, although like many others, I've had more than one unsuccessful adventure with courses of antibiotics! Finish a whole course? Well, yeah -- I know I'm supposed to, but who can remember to take a tablet EVERY day? Who indeed!
So I said, "Yes, I want to go straight on meds."
I remember picking up my first prescription from the sexual health clinic (the only place in my home city that it can be dispensed). And there was plenty of head chatter going on THAT day, for sure.
From the debate about being "exposed" in that waiting room ("But seriously, what if I DO see someone I know?"), to the fact that I was getting this very expensive medication totally free of any charge. To the nasty and self-critical voice -- "So! Now you're just dirty and contaminated," -- battling with the kinder and more forgiving one -- "It really COULD happen to anyone, you know!"
Back then, I didn't know a large number of people who were openly HIV positive, but a few close friends were. So I had already had a few conversations about medication. One close friend was on Atripla [efavirenz/tenofovir/FTC] and he described quite a lot of side effects, physical upsets and the most vivid and horrendous nightmares for several weeks (he might have even said months!). And because I'm a complete sissy when it comes to horror movies or TV programmes or anything with blood, guts and gore, you can imagine this was a tad disconcerting. Luckily, after discussing this with my GP and, due to the fact that I hadn't ever suffered from depression (nor had any family members with depression that I knew of), I was able to go on Eviplera (known as Complera [rilpivirine/tenofovir/FTC] in the USA, I believe).
So, it was probably about 7:30 or 8:00 p.m., and having filled out my prescription after work that day, having eaten a pretty chunky looking sandwich ('cos the blurb said I had to have at least 500 calories and, since I hate cooking, typically I eat my main meal of the day at lunchtime), I took out the tablet, put it in my mouth and ... hesitated. That bloody inner voice again. "What exactly is this the start of? What is actually gonna happen to me when this hits my stomach and then my blood? Is this the right thing to do? Oh f*** it!" GULP ... Yes. I swallow.
And that was it, really. I've been taking my Eviplera (almost) religiously, ever since. Yes, I've missed a couple of days. Yes, I've had a bit of trouble locking it into my routine: Do I have it at dinner and struggle with the occasional social exposure or potential questions? Or do I have it at lunchtime? Then no one need know, but harder to stick to on the weekends when often I don't even have breakfast and brunch can be anytime between 10:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Symptom-wise? A bit of an upset tummy for a couple of weeks (and the very occasional sporadic diarrhea, but nothing earth shattering or life threatening!). I think my general mood suffered a little. Often on sunny, summer days, my favorite cheesy-trance music belting out really loudly in the car, I would experience the euphoric sensation of 1,000 butterflies having a party in my tummy. A friend who has similar experiences calls these her "bliss bubbles" -- a term I have shamelessly stolen. For a year or more I didn't have even one bliss bubble. But about six months ago, one bright, sunny day, I noticed the strangely pleasant sensation creeping into my tummy again. And I was delighted. So I'm hoping either a) I've adjusted to the meds, or b) it was part of my grieving process -- or maybe it was a bit of both. But I'm pleased to say, I've had more bliss bubbles since!
Looking back now, after almost two years on treatment, occasionally, I feel a little disappointed with myself. Should I really have started on the medication so quickly? Should I have read more, learned more? Am I playing into the hands of big pharma? I don't know.
I do know that the main driver of my decision to start medication was my sadness and shame at having become infected. (I struggled to find the right word there -- "disgust," "revulsion," "disappointment" and "hatred" didn't fit -- and I realize now, that it was shame and genuine sadness). And this is something I still struggle with from time to time. I didn't like thinking of myself as "dirty and contaminated" back then -- and I still don't. I wanted to become undetectable as quickly as possible. And I still feel somehow "cleaner" (and no, I don't feel comfortable writing that, but it is true) because I have an undetectable viral load. I guess from this perspective at least, I am a work in progress!
But, nowadays, I never have any trouble swallowing.

Lexington, Ky.—Aug. 17
For Scott Stewart, winning the Classic Round of the USHJA International Hunter Derby Finals feels a bit like a double-edged sword. Sure, he's glad that Dedication topped the class with marks that stretched up to 93 and only dipped as low as 91, but doing quite this well only makes tomorrow night's Handy Round tougher.
"I'm a little nervous going late in the order because I've never had a good class under the lights with him," said Stewart, Flemington, N.J. "He's still really green. I'm hoping he matures a little bit by tomorrow night. He never does anything really bad but he could get a little looky. Pretty much he can jump any jump you want or any angle, he's really good about that."
Dedication, owned by Fashion Farm, got ahead of the pack by a solid 6 points, but three combinations are almost completely neck and neck behind him. Brunello, owned by Liza Boyd and Janet Peterson, is closest, with Boyd aboard (279). Jersey Boy, owned by SBS Farms, and Jen Alfano are right on their heels (278.75), and Lexi Maounis' Sienna and Patricia Griffith lay right behind them (278).
Watch Dedication's winning round:
There was a serious challenge this year: Steve Stephens' course. Stephens ordered a dozen trees dug up on Monday, and had them set up in the Sheila C. Johnson arena on Tuesday, running a days' worth of jumper classes in the ring the next day. Four historical carriages also decorated the arena, as well as a fenceline installed midring.
The track included mostly single fences with one vertical-oxer and one oxer-oxer in-and-out, and looping turns. Many fences were set on long bending lines, which proved surprisingly tough. Rails came across the course, and Stewart summed it up the mood neatly, describing it as a great course, and scopey, even without the high options.
One long line, a vertical to an option of oxers, tripped up plenty of combinations with horses ended up at the oxer alternately far too late or too early. Favorites Declaration and Stewart were tripped up there. Declaration, was slow to respond to Stewart's leg early in the course, so when Stewart got after the gelding later on course, he overrode the line and ended up at the oxer half a stride early. Miss Lucy and Alfano had an unusual front rail at that oxer as well.
Four riders tipped their hats. Valobra took a disliking to the out of the in-and-out so Peter Pletcher retired that mount. Liza Richardson's 19-year-old veteran Shine wasn't his usual self, so after an unspectacular start she pulled up, gave the stallion plenty of pats and bowed out. Praise, who returned to competition a few months ago after an injury, had a rail at the high side a vertical, and wasn't quite up to scruff, so Farmer elected to end her round early. And NLF Shakespeare's Rhythm, usually a reliable partner for Pletcher, wasn't having his best day, and after he pulled a rail pulled up and headed back to the stable.
Other regular winners ran into trouble. Boyd's catch ride, Triompf (Holly Shephard broke her back and asked Boyd to take over the ride) belied his extensive derby and grand prix experience, spooking at a gazebo and opting out of the in of an in-and-out. Genuine and Tori Colvin circled before fence 3 to take them out of the running, and Rex The Wonder Horse opted out of the out of the vertical-oxer in-and-out with Kris Killam. The oxer-oxer double got the better of Richardson's better mount, and he stopped out there.
"When you looked at it on paper, it looked a little easy," said Boyd of the track."But [Liza's brother] Hardin [Towell] made a good point. He said, Liza, Steve designed the Olympics. He's going to throw some tricks in there and you don't realize unless you really think about it. He did an amazing job."
Watch Brunello's Classic Round:
A Handy Challenge
Dedication hasn't show at Finals before, and as Stewart alluded, he's developed a disconcerting habit of winning the first round of major competitions then returning for the second trip and being a bit green. This happened at the 2011 and 2012 editions of the Wellington Hunter Derby (Fla.).
Stewart will have a more confirmed partner in Garfield—who lays fifth—tomorrow night. That horse finished tenth here last year. This marks Brunello's third appearance at Finals, and Jersey Boy's fourth.
To get ready, Boyd and Brunello campaigned in a 1.30-meter jumper class (she was happy with his 4 fault performance and the chance to try some jump-off turns.) When asked if Jersey Boy was on any jumper start lists Alfano laughed.
"[Liza and I] talked about it, and I told her that I didn't think Ian Millar was here to ride him around," joked Alfano. "We didn't do anything special for any of the other classes, and he's been really good all summer. We didn't want to change anything."
Watch Jersey Boy's Classic Round:
Unlike last year, scores from today's round carry over for tomorrow. The top 30 riders will return for the handy, and the next 30 in line will compete for $15,000 in a new Consolation Round. That Consolation Round will start at 4p.m., and the handy will go at 8p.m. USEF Network will be broadcasting the event live, and you can join the conversation as The Chronicle of the Horse hosts a live interactive blog starting at 7:30 p.m.
"I'm just excited" said Boyd of tomorrow's handy trip. "He's always great under the lights, and I'm sure Steve will set something exciting for us."
Right Or Wrong?
USHJA President Bill Moroney made several predictions in the Chronicle's preview issue. Halfway through the competition, let's check in and see how they're holding up.
- Seasoned partnerships will win out. Yes—only one of the top 10 pairs (Caden and Peter Pletcher) doesn't have a long history of winning together. Not that the Irish Sport Horse is a catch ride for Pletcher. His student, Carson Gibson, usually rides that horse in the junior division.
- The new format will make riders bolder in Round 1. No—Moroney sensibly suggested that riders would ride more aggressively as there was no longer a "giveaway" Qualifying Round. But this year's first round was tougher than last year's Qualifying Round (but in the neighborhood of last year's demanding Classic Round). Rails were flying, so by and large riders made calculated decisions, not brazen ones. All in all, only two riders in the top 15 jumped all the high options.
- Horses with a good gallop and have experience in bigger venues will do well. Yes. Of horses advancing to tomorrow's handy, most are veterans from last year. The overwhelming majority competed at this year's Wellington Hunter Derby, and most of the top 12 here advanced to the handy round there, which was held on the grass derby field with plenty of atmosphere. Most of the top 30 are regular ribbon winners at venues where derbies are held on big fields.

Calhoun High School English teacher Jason Elias was driving when he got a call from his principal, David Seinfeld, in August. Since it was summer, when Elias wouldn't expect to hear from Seinfeld, he figured something was up and had to answer, so he pulled over and picked up.
Seinfeld was calling to inform Elias that a number of his colleagues and students had gotten together and secretly submitted an application to Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y., on his behalf. It was an application for a very special honor –– Mercy's Long Island Teacher of the Year Award. Seinfeld was calling to say that Elias had won.
"It was definitely a surprise," said Elias, who teaches Advanced Placement English at Calhoun and coaches varsity soccer at Kennedy High School, which takes in students from Merrick and Bellmore. "It was very nice. It was really great."
Mercy College President Dr. Kimberly Cline came to Calhoun on Oct. 12 to present Elias with the award, which was in the form of a glass apple.
Dr. Henry Kiernan, superintendent of the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District, was on hand at the ceremony, which took place before a crowd of students in Elias's classroom, toward the back of Calhoun High.
"Jason is an outstanding teacher, and represents the values of teaching and learning that mean so much to the students, parents and the learning community," said Kiernan. "He's highly creative, very energetic."
Elias, who graduated from Calhoun in 1987, has taught English for 17 years, including six in the Brentwood School District and 11 at Calhoun. "It's an honor to teach in the rooms that I learned in," he said.
He played varsity soccer at SUNY Binghamton, where he earned a bachelor's degree in English in 1991. He went on to receive graduate degrees from Hofstra University and Queens College. He now teaches the Senior Experience class in addition to AP English. He co-teaches the course with social studies teacher Kate Caporusso and internship coordinator Pete Palazzo. Senior Experience offers students the chance to pursue real-world internships toward the end of their final year of high school.

Press Releases
U.S. Department of Labor
Wage and Hour Division
Release Number: 13-950-BOS
BOSTON -- Three Boston-area restaurants, Pomodoro of Brookline, the North End Pomodoro of Boston and Matt Murphy's Pub of Brookline, have agreed to pay a combined total of $205,380 in back wages and liquidated damages to 13 workers after investigations by the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division found violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act's overtime and record-keeping provisions.
Investigators from the division's Boston District Office found that kitchen employees at the restaurants were paid a weekly salary for all hours worked with no overtime premium. The restaurants also failed to combine hours worked by employees at different locations in the same workweek. Additionally, the employers failed to create and maintain records of employees' work hours and to record cash payments made to employees, in violation of the FLSA's record-keeping provisions.
"The restaurant industry employs low-wage, vulnerable workers. These workers are entitled to proper wages and proper treatment. Employers who fail to meet their legal responsibilities will find themselves liable for both the back wages due and an equal amount in damages, both payable to the workers," said George Rioux, the Wage and Hour Division's district director in Boston. "We are putting the industry on notice that violations will not be tolerated. Such behavior not only denies workers their hard-earned wages, it also places other employers who comply with the law at a competitive disadvantage."
The settlement agreement was reached in coordination with the department's regional Office of the Solicitor in Boston.
The investigations were conducted under the division's multiyear enforcement initiative focused on the restaurant industry in Massachusetts, where widespread noncompliance with the FLSA's minimum wage, overtime and record-keeping provisions has been found.
The restaurant industry employs some of our country's lowest-paid workers, who are vulnerable to disparate treatment and labor violations. In addition to the initiative in Massachusetts, the Wage and Hour Division has other ongoing enforcement initiatives throughout the United States to identify and remedy violations that are common in the restaurant industry.
The FLSA requires that covered employees be paid at least the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, as well as time and one-half their regular rates for every hour they work beyond 40 per week. The law also requires employers to maintain accurate records of employees' wages, hours and other conditions of employment, and prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who exercise their rights under the law. The FLSA provides that employers who violate the law are, as a general rule, liable to employees for back wages and an equal amount in liquidated damages. Liquidated damages are paid directly to the affected employees.
For more information about the FLSA, contact the Wage and Hour Division's Boston office at 617-624-6700 or the division's toll-free helpline at 866-4US-WAGE (487-9243). Information also is available at http://www.dol.gov/whd.

Please specify which news release when placing your request at (202) 693-7828 or TTY (202) 693-7755.

text: Dr. Steward T.A. Pickett Plant Ecologist Share: April 13, 2008 Phenology As spring settles in around us, there is a lot of evidence of how organisms and the ecosystems they are part of respond to the shifts in the seasons. Each day, in both city and country, there is almost daily evidence of increasing biological activity.More bird song greets us each morning, and it's hard to miss that music even in town. There are lots of other signs too. Early April typically brings a shadow of the small, spent flowers of red maple trees littering sidewalks and driveways beneath these common trees. That too is a reminder that plants as well as animals tune their activities to environmental signals.Light and temperature are the most common environmental signals in the Hudson Valley. It may seem obvious that temperature is a signal for organisms to start growing again after the inhospitable conditions of winter. But it is not obvious how temperature works. It isn't just the increasing average temperature that stimulates organisms. In fact, most plants have been keeping track of the passage of winter by noting the accumulation of cold conditions.Last fall, the native trees and shrubs entered a state of dormancy that has kept them safe from the freezing weather. In order to break dormancy, each species of plant has a requirement to experience a certain period of very cold conditions. Once the minimum has been passed, they can start growing again.But the start of growth often depends on another signal as well. Some of the processes that are associated with the spring reawakening are signaled by light. Here too, plants don't respond to the obvious cue of increasing intensity of the sun's rays. Plants respond to very low intensities of light as a signal. It is the length of daylight hours, not the strength of the light, that helps shift plants into flowering mode.The reliance on both accumulated cold conditions and the length of the light period each day is an insurance mechanism. By using two signals, the plants that are well adapted to our regional environment are less likely to start their activity too early and risk damage by unusual cold spring weather. Once plants have broken dormancy, they aren't as well protected from frost as they are during their winter resting period.One way to appreciate the fine tuning of our native plants is to note the damage that horticultural or orchard plants experience when unusually cold weather hits in the spring. The introduced, cultivated plants are not as well adjusted to the local patterns of climate as are the native plants. Sometimes, the introduced plants get "fooled."Getting fooled, though, is something that even the native plants are likely to experience more of in the future. Climate change means that the old, reliable cues of day length and the accumulation of cold periods during the winter will be broken.The local native plants have, for thousands of years, depended on a certain match between temperature and light to signal their spring awakening, and avoid the risk of death or loss of their flowers due to a late frost.Once that link is broken by climate change, all bets are off. Their life cycles-the patterns of growth, dormancy, renewed activity, and reproduction-may be damaged by having the signals they depend on come at times when dangerous risks are still prevalent.

Dyson's not the only company capable of vacuum innovation these days. Samsung shows it's still in the housecleaning game with a trio of new stealthy vacs, including the champagne-tinted SC96 which uses a multi-chamber design that's promised to deliver longer suction while being a lot quieter than its predecessors.
The sound dampening is made possible through a customised airflow design which keeps the rushing wind to a dull roar, but the vacuum is also able to automatically adjust its suction level on the fly thanks to sensors that detect the amount of dust and dirt that's being drawn in. So if you're a neat freak, you'll be rewarded with a whisper-quiet cleaning routine. And if you're a real-life version of pig pen, the $450 SC96 will ramp up the suction in an attempt to tackle your mess.

Peter Rich, a Bay Area cycling legend, stopped by to see Jobst Brandt in Palo Alto last night and share some memories among cycling friends.
Peter recently shut down his iconic bike shop Velo Sport in Berkeley, Calif., after nearly 50 years of business. In many ways, Velo Sport Bicycles and Palo Alto Bicycles, where Jobst frequently visited, have a lot in common, including both stores being located at a University Avenue address and next to famous universities!
They hosted bike racing teams and races over the decades. I asked Peter about the 1971 Tour of California, the first international stage race held in the U.S. Track racing ruled the sport leading up to the 1950s when road racing came on the scene.
Peter organized and funded the tour at a time when U.S. stage racing was still a closet sport. The Greg LeMonds and Lance Armstrongs of the world would not arrive for another 15-20 years.
First Peter had to secure permission from the California Highway Patrol (CHP). He sent seven letters to the districts that they were riding through. "I got a range of responses from 'good luck' to 'you'll be arrested,'" he said.
Bear Valley start
The racers took off on Saturday, Aug. 28, from Bear Valley, a ski resort located at 7,000 feet in the Sierra. Some 80 racers would cover 885 miles in 10 stages, which included some hard climbing over Carson, Ebbetts and Pacific Grade passes.
On stage 1 racers sped down Hwy 108 to Stockton and on the way dozens and dozens of cars piled up behind the peloton. This was an open course race with no CHP directing traffic on the two-lane road. At one point a CHP officer pulled ahead, got out of his car and started waving riders over to stop the race.
"The pack just rode around him and kept going," Peter recalled. Fortunately, the race continued without CHP intervention. "We agreed to limit the number of follow cars," Peter said.
The official follow cars were yellow Ford Pintos donated by the car maker. You can see them in the videos posted on YouTube.
Competitors came from all over, including Canada and Mexico. For the first time, Peter saw evidence of doping among racers. A Mexican rider who appeared to be high on speed was so disoriented he lined up at the starting line pointed in the wrong direction!
Our most notable U.S. racer, John Howard, had a rough go, crashing into a truck coming over a hill. Howard managed to continue the race.
So why wasn't there a second Tour of California? "I lost $50,000," Peter said. Raleigh, Ford and other sponsors failed to pay out money promised before the race. "They complained there was a recession," Peter said.
All that's left now is the memories and grainy video. Laurie Schmidtke gives an excellent blow-by-blow account of his Tour of California experience from the peloton. Check it out.

(Lazy Eye)
Amblyopia, often called lazy eye, is a condition that occurs when there is a reduction of vision in one eye that is not correctable with glasses.
There are two common types of amblyopia:
- Anisometropic amblyopia—Vision in one eye differs from the other. This is often caused by a large difference in eyeglass prescription. The difference may be caused by one eye being more nearsighted or farsighted than the other, or by large differences in astigmatism.
- Strabismic amblyopia— Visible misalignment (crossing) of one eye.
Strabismic Amblyopia
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The sooner amblyopia is treated, the more favorable the outcome.
Amblyopia is caused when the brain prefers (favors) one eye to the other. The brain's preference (liking) for one eye over the other can weaken and reduce vision in the eye that is less used.
There are no apparent genetic or environmental factors that can be attributed to causing amblyopia.
Risk Factors
Risk Factors
Amblyopia is more common in children under 10 years old with:
- Crossed eyes
A large difference in sight between the two eyes that may be:
- Unnoticed
- Detected by a large difference in eyeglass prescription
- Visual blockage such as a cataract, droopy eyelid, or corneal scarring
Amblyopia can also occur in adults.
Some people with amblyopia may not have symptoms. In those that have them, amblyopia may cause:
- A droopy (the inability to fully-open) eyelid that blocks the pupil
- Headaches
- Blurry vision
- Excessive squinting or closing of the eyes
- Repeatedly closing of one eye in bright sunlight
- Crossing of one eye, generally the eye that is less used will excessively turn toward the nose
Symptoms vary depending on the extent of the amblyopia.
Your eye doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. An examination of your eyes will be done. Since amblyopia tends to occur in young children, the types of tests their eye doctor will perform will be determined by their age and ability to respond.
Tests to evaluate the eyes may include:
- Visual acuity assessment testing (VAT)—to assess distant vision
- Cycloplegic refraction test—to assess how the eyeball displays and receives images produced by the lens of the eye
- Retinoscopy—to determine a preverbal child's eyeglass prescription
- Prisms—to determine the amount of crossing between the 2 eyes
Treatment includes correcting visual obstructions, such as cataracts and other visual abnormalities.
Talk to your doctor about the best option for you. These may include:
Atropine Penalization
Atropine drops or ointment is placed in the non-amblyopic eye. This causes the sound eye to become unfocused and forces the use of the lazy eye.
Occlusive Therapy
Occlusive therapy involves using a patch over the non-amblyopic eye (the sound eye), forcing the use of the lazy eye.
Bangerter foils are another option. The foils, which are made of thin vinyl, are placed over the eye glass lens, covering the non-amblyopic eye. Just like with the patch, this forces the weaker eye to become stronger because you will not be able to see well with the foiled lens.
While there are no current guidelines to prevent amblyopia, vision screening can help to detect the condition at an early age. Children under aged 3-5 (or younger) should be examined for eye problems.

Finally, a half-hour-long episode as weird, dark, and resonant as some of the show's hour-long excursions into personal and professional despair. Tonight, or rather last night's episode, poignantly echoed the Monica Lewinsky scandal as the mundane, pathetic details of a sordid sexual fling between two fundamentally lonely, sad people became dry fodder for a blackly dry comic legal proceeding.
Here, that legal proceeding was a deposition where Michael Scott testified on Jan's behalf in her lawsuit for wrongful termination against Dunder-Mifflin and ended up destroying her case. It was a can't-miss comic set-up that veered constantly into tragedy: Michael Scott, a giggly little boy whose self-censoring apparatus is perpetually on the blink, in a grey, legalistic world of adults and consequences and jargon.
It was a milieu where Scott's catchphrase, "That's what she said," inspired an extended semantic debate about the phrase's ultimate meaning that was half "Who's On First" and half Lewinskygate. As Michael was forced to choose between his beloved corporation and his woman, the black, black heart of his relationship with Jan was exposed to the harsh, unforgiving light of public scrutiny. A performance review where Jan recommended that Michael be demoted to sales is brought to light, as is the contents of Michael's personal diary, which is every bit as adolescent and leering and pathetic as you'd imagine.
Michael is so overmatched and confused that at the lunch table he gravitates to Toby, his perennial arch-nemesis, more or less by default. In what may be the darkest, most remarkable Toby/Michael exchange to date, Toby tries to open up to Michael in his hour of need by telling him about his parent's traumatic divorce and how he was asked to testify against both of them. It's a moment of heartbreaking vulnerability made even more so when Michael glares at Toby, knocks his tray on the floor, and walks away.
Toby and Michael are both innately nice people, but something about Michael's hatred of Toby rings true: he seems to represent every hall monitor or guidance counselor of mid-level bureaucrat who ever got in Michael's way. Back at the deposition, Michael and Jan take turns throwing each other under the bus. When forced to choose between his lady and his employer, he chooses Dunder-Mifflin. He's a company man through and through, a sucker for praise, however measured or condescending, when it comes from a guy in a suit.
As Jan and Michael drove home from the deposition, The Office offered a harrowing glimpse of relationship hell as the joyless couple coldly, dispassionately agree to have fast-food on the way home to save money. They're too weak and lonely to break up with each other or confront the Pandora's Box of dark, ugly emotions unleashed by the deposition. Along with the Toby/Michael lunchroom scenario, it's a scene whose eviscerating darkness lingers.
In the B-story, Kelly begins talking Olympic-level smack (or is it trash?) to Pam after her boyfriend Darryl opens up a giant can of whup-ass on Jim in ping-pong. Jim begins training hardcore to avenge Pam's honor, but it's Dwight who turns out to be the ping-pong prodigy. This strand understandably felt featherweight and inconsequential compared to the voyeuristic psychodrama of the Jan/Michael plot, but there seemed to be a lot of genuine anger and hostility in Kelly's "joking" taunts to Pam. Incidentally I'm usually quick on the draw, posting these blogs within an hour or two of a show ending but I wasn't able to do that for the following four reasons: 1. The internet at home was on the fritz 2. I'm on vacation 3. My grandma died 4. My dog ate my homework Three of those excuses happen to be true, though technically speaking my grandma died in 1986. What can I say? I take things these things hard (cue the single "That's what she said!" I will allow myself this entire blog). That's especially unfortunate as both 30 Rock and The Office were especially compelling and thought-provoking tonight. Don't worry, my TV babies. I won't let you down again. That's TV's job, not mine.
Grade: A Stray Observations- -I would wager good money that some enterprising soul has either pitched "The Secret Diary of Michael Scott" as a book or will do so immediately following this episode. -Can Michael and Jan's relationship be saved? Should it be saved? Perhaps for the twins' sake? -I can see the writers using Kelly as a vehicle to express fans' free-floating hostility towards Jim and Pam's far-too-perfect union. That'd be a terrific way to both give the audience more Kelly and Darryl and undercut the stomach-churning adorability of the Jim and Pam romance.

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. -- Soon after the great white shark chomped into his torso, Steven Robles thought everything was over.
"I really thought that that might be it. I thought I might be dying," he said.
Instead, the long-distance swimmer is recovering from the wounds -- but might never return to the water. The trauma of the attack is still too vivid.
On Saturday, a 7-foot-long shark near Manhattan Beach, Calif., became agitated by a fisherman's hook. It apparently took out its frustration on Robles, who was swimming nearby.
"We saw each other. It did a sharp left turn and then it lunged right at me, didn't even hesitate," Robles said.
"I could feel the vibration of this entire shark gnawing into my skin," he said. "You could feel the whole body shaking as it's digging into my torso."
The burning sensation of the bite is hard to forget.
"The bite mark's like a jellyfish sting that just keeps penetrating deeper and deeper into the bone," Robles said. "It was terrifying."
He grabbed the shark's nose with his hand and tried to pry him off. Fortunately, the shark left on his own and darted away.
A witness' cellphone video posted by KTLA showed Robles screaming loudly as fellow swimmers tried to help him to shore. Witnesses on the pier screamed that the shark was still close by.
All the swimmers in the water made it to shore safely.
Police closed down the Manhattan Beach Pier, and it will remain closed until Tuesday.
While shark attacks are rare, they have increased at a steady rate since 1900 "with each decade having more attacks then the previous," according to the International Shark Attack File based in Gainesville, Fla.
But ISAF says there were 72 unprovoked shark attacks on humans in 2013 -- the lowest number of global attacks since 2009, when 67 attacks occurred.
The group emphasized that an increasing number of shark attacks doesn't mean the rate of attacks is increasing. ISAF research shows people are spending more time at sea, which increases the interactions between humans and sharks.
Robles said even though he thought he might be dying, his survival instincts kicked in.
"My life was just a half a second from ending, and I had to fight for my life," he said.
Just before the attack, Robles said he was planning another long-distance swim. But now he says he might never swim in the open water again.
