One of the major complaints regarding this new forum was that you had to connect to a web site to view the new posts. Well, I've addressed that by implementing "Digests", which provide an e-mail with the posts since you last visited the web site or since the last digest was sent. To very easy to set them up.
1) Connect to http://www.FreedomYachts.org
2) Log into the forum by clicking on "Login" under the Freedom logo.
Hint: If you've forgotten your password, click on "I forgot my password" under the password box.
Hint: Click on "Log me on automatically each visit" to get automatically logged in each time you visit.
3) Click on "User Control Panel" which is at the top, left-hand side of the page.
4) Click on the "Digests" tab, which right hand side of the User Control Panel.
5) Select the type of digest that you want (none, daily, weekly), the format (HTML is suggested) and what time you want it sent.
6) Modify any of the other options in the "Forum Selection", "Post Filters" and "Additional Criteria" and click "Submit" to save your changes.
Note that by default, all posts included within the digest are marked as read when the digest is sent. You can change this in the "Additional Criteria" section. Also note that you can specify if you want an index in the "Additional Criteria" section.

More than a year after losing their beloved pet during Sandy, a New Jersey family made an amazing discovery during a visit to animal shelter this week: their missing dog.
Reckless, a 3-year-old brown and white terrier-pit bull mix, escaped from the James family home in Keansburg during Sandy. The family said the fence in the yard got mangled in the storm, and Reckless ran off. His collar got caught on the fence, so he had no identification when he fled.
The family spent months desperately searching for him.
U.S. & World
"It was like losing a family member," said Chuck James. "My kids were upset, my wife was upset, I was upset."
Although they never gave up hope, James and his wife knew it was time to move on. They went last week to the Monmouth County SPCA to get their daughter Ally a new dog for her 10th birthday, and ended up with a gift beyond their wildest dreams.
"Sitting in the first stall in front of the doors, I looked over and I thought it looked a lot like Reckless," said James.
His wife started tearing up and said: "Look at the scar on his head! It is Reckless!"
Ally, one of the three James children, said, "It's like that hole in my heart is finally filled. Yeah, I missed him."
Reckless was picked up as a stray just blocks from the family's house and was microchipped and cared for by the shelter for six months, according to James and SPCA officials.
James believes the dog was trying to find his way home.
"He's ours. I don't think he is letting us out of his sight."
The family was taking the weekend to enjoy their first family camping trip with Reckless in more than 18 months.
"This is our first family vacation in a really long time, and we get the whole family on vacation," said James.
The family is living in a hotel while their storm-damaged Keansburg rental is repaired. Reckless will be accommodated at the hotel.

Mr. Speaker, I want to remind the government once again about the high cost of living in Canada's north. Here is an example. Many Canadians are alarmed that they may have to pay $1 for each extra gigabyte of Internet. In the north, the average for each extra gig is $10, and they start counting at as little as two gigs.
In December the aboriginal affairs and northern development committee released its unanimous report on northern economic development. The report recommended:
That the Government of Canada, to facilitate the development of the northern economy by attracting and retaining more skilled workers, consider enhancing the Northern Residents Tax Deduction to more fully compensate for the costs of living faced by individuals in the North, and consider a policy that provides universality to the travel portion of the Northern Residents Tax Deduction.
The 2007 budget gave an insufficient modest increase. What northerners need this year is an increase in the range of 50%. The Minister of Finance should really look at this, because he is the one who could deliver on this for northerners.

Marbled Caramel Chocolate Bars
For the base
2 cups all-purpose flour
scant 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
For the filling
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
scant 1/2 cup muscovado sugar
2 14 ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
For the topping
3 1/2 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate chunks
3 1/2 ounces chopped milk chocolate chunks
2 ounces chopped white chocolate chunks
To make the base
Preheat oven to 350
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Add the softened butter and use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it is very crumbly. Scoop the dough into a 9" x 13" jelly roll (or Swiss roll) pan and evenly pat the mixture down to form a base. Use a fork to prick the top all over - bake until firm and the edges are just beginning to turn golden, about 20 minutes. Remove and set the pan on a wire rack to cool.
To make the filling
In a medium saucepan, stir the butter, sugar and condensed milk over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. While stirring constantly, turn the heat up and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns a light caramel color - this can take anywhere between 10-20 minutes depending on how high the heat is. If you don't constantly stir the mixture, it will scorch and give an off flavor. Remove from the heat and carefully pour the mixture over the cooled crust. Working quickly, spread the mixture evenly with an off-set spatula. Leave the mixture on the cooling rack until the filling has cooled and firmed up.
To make the topping
Gently melt each type of chocolate in separate, small heatproof bowls in the microwave - you can also melt them over simmering water if you like. Use a spoon to spread alternate lines (4 total lines) of the bittersweet and milk chocolate over the set caramel filling - we choose to do the order of bittersweet, milk, bittersweet, milk. Drop small dollops of the white chocolate all over the top - gently use a skewer and pull through the chocolates in all directions to create the marbled effect on top. Let cool until the chocolate sets and then cut into bars.

These look absolutely amazing! Yummmm! Can i make these with a gluten-free crust? I sure hope so. Also, what is muscovado sugar?ReplyDelete
Sara - you should be able to, although I have not tried it! Muscovado sugar is an unrefined sugar with a strong molasses flavor to it. Kind of like brown sugar, which you could use if you don't have access to muscovado.ReplyDelete

I made these bars twice in the last 2 weeks. They turned out great both times! Thanks for an awesome recipe!ReplyDelete
Anon - Fantastic! Thanks for the feedback... glad you like the results!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous8/02/2007 04:51:00 AM
ive also tried the recipe and it tasted really good. however, since the base is firm/hard, how can i slice it without leaving crumbs on plate (keep the base intact)?ReplyDelete
Anon - Mine didn't seem to crumble much when I sliced through them. Maybe just make sure you use a firm hand and don't hesitate as you cut them?ReplyDelete
I made these yesterday and brought half to work and half to a memorial. They are a huge hit. Wonderful caramel layer! Reminds everyone of a fresh Twix bar.ReplyDelete
More fork holes might help with the crumbling.

Who doesn't have a soft spot for Andy Griffith (who died last Tuesday)? You'd have to be pretty immune to benevolent paternalism to resist the down-home charm of Andy Taylor or most of the other roles he created.
Griffith's career thrived primarily on TV. Yet some of his best work was in feature films, particularly when he was playing against type. Over the course of 53 years, he appeared in only about a dozen movies. Most of those roles were lovable types: in his last two movies he appeared as the voice of Santa Claus and a character referred to as "Grandpa Joe." Sadly, the latter was in "Play the Game" (2009), his last big-screen part, and not much to write home about.
His work as less-than-admirable characters, of course, benefited precisely because of his down-home image. But that wouldn't explain his impact in his first film, "A Face in the Crowd" — directed by Elia Kazan and written by Budd Schulberg, who had previously collaborated on "On the Waterfront." It came out in 1957, when Griffith was only well known on the stage. He played Lonesome Rhodes, a ne'er-do-well who becomes a folksy TV star after a serendipitous encounter with some sharp New York types. What they don't discover until it's too late is that Rhodes's lovable exterior is a thin veneer disguising a scary demagogue, who goes crazy with power. The film essentially prefigures Glenn Beck and much of today's talk radio.
It was one of his few starring roles, but later in his career he was memorable in supporting parts as shifty types in two other movies. In "Hearts of the West" (1975), he played a washed up Western novelist, who starts out moderately likable, then does some really reprehensible things, and finally redeems himself at the very end.
Ten years later, he was the out-and-out villain of "Rustlers' Rhapsody," an underrated Western spoof. It got little respect at the time, probably because writer-director Hugh Wilson had just had a breakthrough hit with the broad "Police Academy." Tom Berenger is the central character, a singing cowboy in the 1880s, who goes from small town to small town, knowing exactly what will happen because the series of 50-some films about him never vary from a hackneyed story structure. Within this meta-framework, Griffith is hilarious as Col. Ticonderoga, the evil gay cattle baron terrorizing the apparently Chassidic sheep ranchers.
ANDY KLEIN is the film critic for Marquee. He can also be heard on "FilmWeek" on KPCC-FM (89.3).

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the man who invented the world wide web, has issued a warning that Australia's proposed data retention laws are a "really, really bad idea".
The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security is currently conducting an inquiry into reforms to Australia's interception and security legislation.
One of the most contentious aspects of the terms of reference include "tailored data retention periods for up to two years for parts of a data set, with specific timeframes taking into account agency priorities and privacy and cost impacts".
Berners-Lee said while it is important for countries to be able to defend themselves from cyber attack, there are inherent dangers on "snooping" on people.
"On one side, the danger of that information is it won't contain information to stop serious criminals, only the people who have taken out too many library books," he said at today's launch of the CSIRO's Digital Productivity and Services Flagship program.
He said the information police agencies were looking at and collating could be dangerous if it was hacked and "you have to think about it as dynamite".
Berners-Lee also suggested a new government agency would need to be set up to the track agencies that are collecting information.
"You have to have another government agency with the same power looking at that first government agency to track [it]," he said.
"I have seen no country which is set up with two [organisations] that are part of the 'watchers' – the watchers and the watchers of the watchers with reciprocal powers to check [each other].
"The whole thing seems to be fraught with massive danger and probably a really, really bad idea."
David Irvine, director-general at ASIO, has previously said it was insulting to think ASIO staff would abuse powers given to it around data retention.
"Most ASIO officers would find it frankly insulting to think that an organisation which prides itself on acting in accordance with the law and very, very heavy accountability processes would allow itself to deviate into unwarranted intrusions into privacy," Irvine told Background Briefing in October last year.
The proposed data retention laws have received extensive backlash from ISPs and privacy advocates.
iiNet told the parliamentary committee in September that a data retention scheme could cost the company $60 million to set up and that it would pass on the cost to customers, which would equate to around $5 extra per month.
In November last year, the Attorney-General's Department told the inquiry it has not yet assessed the potential costs of implementing proposals around data retention.
Greens senator Scott Ludlam has said there are other issues in the federal government's proposals for intelligence and security reforms, besides data retention, which are "creepy".
For example, "Internet kill switches for targeted populations; the ability of ASIO to install malware on third-party computers who aren't involved in investigations; the ability of intelligence agencies to commit crimes and then be forgiven for them behind the scenes – there's a bunch of other stuff coming up behind data retention that actually is also kind of creepy," Ludlam said in October last year.

�\Eoa�, mimetypeapplication/epub+zipPK �\E iTunesMetadata.pliste��
This section covers the following topics:
This guide describes how to use Site Studio Publisher to publish a Site Studio web site. With Site Studio, you store the web sites you build in Oracle Content Server. At some point, you may find that you would like to create a static copy of a web site and transfer it from an Oracle Content Server environment to a pure web server environment that is not running an Oracle Content Server instance. This process is referred to as publishing.
Site Studio Publisher creates a static snapshot of a dynamic site by traversing all the links in a web site (visiting all of the linked pages) and downloading a copy of each page and all of the resources (images, flash movies, and so on) on each page. Your entire web site, including the content of queries, layout pages, fragments, contributor data files, and native documents, are then copied and published to the new server.
The most efficient use of a dynamic site would have immediate updates and automatically update only the changed areas of the web site. Since Site Studio web sites are dynamic and created using a large number of variables, it is very difficult to track and publish the affected areas of the web site in a reliable and consistent manner. Site Studio Publisher can selectively process, or not process, pages on a web site based on different control methods. When each asset does not need to be compared each time, then it is much easier to keep the static site up to date, and the site owner can easily control the process.
Site Studio Publisher operates from an initial list of available links, and then compares them to a previous version of links used by Site Studio Publisher. The use of controls and filters can control the list, and also limit Site Studio Publisher to using only certain parts of the list. The first time Site Studio Publisher examines a web site, all links are examined and added to the list.
When Site Studio Publisher examines a link and determines that it has changed, the content is analyzed and the new set of links for that page is determined. If the examination is skipped, either because no changes were found or because the controls and filters require that a specific link is skipped, then the previous list of links is used for comparison.
Site Studio Publisher installation is simple. On Oracle Content Server 11g, the Site Studio Publisher component is pre-installed, and is enabled through the Content Server UI.
To enable Site Studio Publisher, perform these tasks:
Log in to the Oracle Content Admin Server page with administrator credentials.
Open the Component Manager.
Select the checkbox next to Site Studio Publisher under the Web Content Management section.
Click Update at the bottom of the page.
A dialog opens confirming your selection.
The server must be restarted to complete enabling Site Studio Publisher.
To install and enable the Site Studio Publisher component on a 10gR3 Oracle Content Server instance, see the Content Server 10gR3 documentation.
Site Studio Publisher is run from the Site Studio Administration section of the Oracle Content Server user interface.
To get to the Site Studio Publisher interface, perform these tasks:
Log in to the Oracle Content Server with administrator credentials.
Open the Administration tray or page, depending on your layout.
Select Site Studio Administration.
Select Site Studio Publisher.
To publish a web site from an Oracle Content Server environment to a web server, all the content of your site is copied by Site Studio Publisher. However, the copy of the site must be both complete and self-contained. That is, the copy must contain all of the resources of the original site, and pages in the copy must refer only to resources within the copy itself. To create a self-contained copy, Site Studio Publisher rewrites any absolute (full) URLs within the original site to relative URLs to allow the static copy to be hosted on a different hosting instance.
Site Studio Publisher uses the following procedures to identify and evaluate links and resources contained in a particular page:
When handling HTML, Site Studio Publisher looks for any attributes in tags that may contain links (for example, the 'HREF' attribute in an 'A' tag or the 'SRC' attribute in an 'IMG' tag), and downloads these images. If the link is absolute, the link in the copied site is updated to refer to the downloaded image (through a relative URL) instead of the original image.
When handling JavaScript, Site Studio Publisher looks for specific JavaScript commands that are commonly used to load a new image or change what is being displayed on the page. When those specific commands are encountered, it examines the JavaScript and interprets each command. However, an unrecognized JavaScript command may cause Site Studio Publisher to not include a referenced page or fail to download an image.
Be careful when appending URL parameters to a page URL. By default, in Site Studio Publisher, extra page parameters that result in a variant of the dynamic page are not used when naming the static page. Site Studio pages should not be customized by appending URL parameters to a node reference, as any appended parameters are ignored (that is, any node parameters not defined using Site Studio are not used in naming the pages).
When customizing Site Studio-generated JavaScript or writing your own components, be sure to use relative URLs for all images, movies, and so on, that are referenced in the script; avoid concatenating strings to build up paths to resources. This makes it easier for Site Studio Publisher to properly identify and evaluate the external references.
Pay special attention to those items included in a dynamic list or using JavaScript patterns, and also to naming conventions for published pages.
Using JavaScript in Links for Published Pages
You may want to specify a JavaScript pattern in a link to be used in your published Web pages. Certain patterns must be used for Site Studio Publisher to identify and evaluate JavaScript references and links in order for these references to be converted to relative references in the published version.
Site Studio Publisher looks for specific patterns in the embedded JavaScript of Web pages. When these patterns are encountered, Site Studio Publisher examines the JavaScript and interprets the command.
Site Studio Publisher evaluates general JavaScript patterns that are commonly used to load a new image or change what is being displayed on the page.
Site Studio Publisher also evaluates certain Site Studio–specific JavaScript patterns.
Note:An unrecognized JavaScript command may cause Site Studio Publisher to not include a referenced page or fail to download an image.
In all patterns listed below, double quotation marks (") and single quotation marks (') are treated as equivalent. The crawler attempts to match any valid URL within the quotes.
|JavaScript fragment
|Link to be traversed
|something.src = "foo.gif";
|top.location.href = "other.html";
Site Studio-Specific JavaScript Patterns
|JavaScript fragment
|Link to be traversed
|var g_httpCgiUrl = "...";
|See note 1
|var ssAssetsPath = "..."
|See note 1
|var ssUrlPrefix = "..."
|See note 1
|See note 2
|See note 2
The parameters of these JavaScript calls, which are references to files or directories, are converted to a relative reference in the published version.
A hierarchical path is constructed using the URL Page Name and URL Directory Name properties of the site and the nodes. If no properties are defined the node label with underscores is used.

Watch and Discover: ELS/Seattle
Thg2 20, 2018 5:00 CH
In "Discover: ELS/Seattle" ELS students and staff speak about the safe and kind environment at ELS/Seattle in Washington.
ELS/Seattle is located in the trendy Capitol Hill neighborhood adjacent to busy downtown Seattle, Washington and is within walking distance of Seattle's Pike Place Market, sports stadiums, and downtown shopping.
On daily life at the Center, the Center's Academic Director said, "The day is fun. We try to keep classes very lively and engaging. We also have an additional tutoring program outside of class hours. We never want students to go home and feel like they don't have the answers they need."

Precious time is often lost through the handling of Restaurant Computer Systems . Similarly, the more cash is handled the greater the security risk in stores. Fortunately, Point of Sale (POS) technology is making better control of cash in retail stores possible, resulting in benefit for both staff and customers.
One German furniture company has estimated that the payment process and handling of cash at the checkout takes between 15 to 25 seconds. As this is only one part of processing pos system, 15 to 25 seconds is quite substantial time and, when the seconds are calculated for the cash handling from every sale throughout the day…till operators are spending more time on this process than most business owners would like.
Then, there is also the concern of cash robbery and theft. On any given day in a retail business, one, a few or many more employees will handle cash. Think how many different times and how many different people will handle cash in a supermarket on any one day. It is also probable that many managers are reconciling cash and making deposits, which is why they use point of sale systems.
How Do You Select the Best Point Of Sale Systems in Restaurant Computer Systems ?
Point of sale (POS) systems are used by hundreds of businesses in order to streamline the purchasing process as well as track the various financial and inventory data that relates to the sales made. Although the general concept behind each system is virtually the same, different industries can purchase POS systems that are tailor made for their needs. Think of it is a delivery service: A bike delivery would work fine for a local newspaper, but UPS would have to shut down if it didn't have delivery trucks. The same concept applies to POS sale systems used in retail stores, restaurants, and hotels. Each specific industry can benefit from a system that is designed for their specific needs.
Retail POS systems are specialized at quick and easy one time sales. The items stored in their database are well defined, and although there can be many colors or sizes offered for one item, there isn't very much variation in the product. If one person buys a black jacket, although the jacket comes in blue, all the people who buy the black on are still getting the same item. This is why retail POS systems are the simplest in nature. In regards to the sale process, all they need is to pull up an item's information from inventory and remove it upon purchase. Of course, this is just in reference the the sales aspect of the system; there are still complex inventory control settings and sales efficiency metrics that that can be used, but in terms of making a sale, the retail system is the most simplistic.
Clearly, when starting a business it important to take the industry specific POS into account. Don't just try and find the best deal, but rather what will work best to make your company run efficiently. Understanding why each system is unique will help when trying to make the decision for what POS system to purchase. Although the examples given were for specific industries, the systems can be applied to different industries that have similar purchasing processes: The retail POS can be used in stores ranging from clothing to electronics and the restaurant system can be used in various hospitality related industries.
What to Look for in a Retail Point of Sale System
There are a number of channels of distribution available to the producer, which may be employed by him to bring his products to the market and use point of sale software. Consumer goods may be distributed generally through channels, in each of which the manufacturers may use the sales branch or sales office as the additional alternative. One of the channels used is Producer-Consumer, where no middleman is involved. Sales are made from house to house or by direct mail.
A second channel is Producer-Retailer-Consumer, by which goods may be purchased directly from manufacturers. Retail stores may also be opened by manufacturers by this channel.
A stockist or distributor or wholesaler is also a large sized operator but not on par with the marketer or sole selling agent in level, size and territory of operation. Stock holding and sub-distribution, as per the policies laid down by the manufacturers or the marketers, are the main functions of stockists/distributors pos retail equipment.
Point of Sale - Are these Five Steps Increase Product Sales Through Your POS Display?
It can be challenging to find the right Point of Sale software system for your business. This article provides a checklist of features you should consider when making your decision. In part one, we will look at point-of-sale, customer tracking, and security features.

Bug triage
Triage is medical term referring to the process of prioritising patients based on the severity of their condition so as to maximise benefit (help as many as possible) when resources are limited.
Bug triage is a process where tracker issues are screened and prioritised. Triage should help ensure we appropriately manage all reported issues - bugs as well as improvements and feature requests.
- 1 The triage process
- 2 Creating a filter and gadget for triaging
- 3 Triaging priorities and the Triaging Dashboard

- error messages (if applicable) and
- screenshots (if applicable).
- If more information is needed, do not complete the triage. Instead, watch the issue and refer it back to the reporter. If the reporter does not respond with more detail in a reasonable amount of time (say one week), close the issue as incomplete, but keep a watch on the issue.
Here is an example comment that could be used to elicit further information from a reporter.
Thanks for reporting this.
Could you please add more information to your report such as replication instructions, error messages and screenshots. If you are able to suggest a workaround, that would be immediately helpful to others experiencing this problem. If you can determine the cause of the problem or even determine a solution, that will be very valuable.
- Are the correct components selected?
- Listing components correctly is important as they are the primary variable used for searching for issues.
- If the issue is listed with more than one component or if you change the components, the default assignee might not be set correctly.
- If the issue covers more than one component determine the main component and ensure the assignee is set in relation to that component. Add component leads of other components as watchers if there is a significant overlap between components.
Security level
- Is the issue a security issue?
- If so, this should be determined as soon as possible.
- Usually security issues should be bugs; improvements that improve security need not have a security level set (unless they reveal a weakness in Moodle, in which case they should be a bug).
- Issues are often raised with a tentative "Could be..." security level. Ideally this should be set to "none", "minor" or "serious" as soon as possible to control the visibility of the issue.
- Is the priority level reasonable and representing the issues real priority in respect to the community?
- Some reporters over-state an issues priority. Some reporters don't know they can set a priority.
- Security issues should be blockers.
- Backup/restore issues should have a high priority.
- Other issues should follow the Tracker guide.
Note: Improvements/new features cannot be blockers and should usually be left with a Minor priority (though the dev team can raise the priority later)
Affects version
- Does the Affects version make sense now and into the future?
- This field should include one or more released versions of Moodle that are affected by the issue, with the following exceptions:
- The issue is a bug in code that is present in the Master branch only, in which case the next major version should be used. (The next major version should not be used in conjunction with previous released versions, this won't make sense later.)
- The issue is a new feature and is unrelated to any existing code in Moodle, in which case the 'Future dev' version should be used.
- If the reported Affects version is unsupported, consider whether the issue could affect currently supported versions. In some cases it is simple close such an issue when a component has been replaced in a recent version, but otherwise this might require a quick replication test in a supported version. If the issue only affects unsupported versions, the issue should be closed as 'Won't fix'.
The following is a comment that can be used when closing an issue that affects only unsupported versions.
Thanks for reporting this.
I'm closing this issue because I believe it affects only unsupported versions of Moodle. This issue will remain here in case other users have the same problem.
If you haven't already done so, I encourage you to upgrade to a supported version.
Fix version
- Is the Fix version set correctly?
- When an issue is reported, it can be added to a backlog of work that a developer at Moodle HQ can handle. That does not preclude other developers, who are not working at Moodle HQ, from working on the issue.
- The Fix version will later become the version of Moodle that the issue is fixed in, but that value should only be set at the time of integration.
- In the Moodle project (MDL issues), the Fix version can be set to the BACKEND backlog, FRONTEND backlog or no backlog, depending on the primary component of the issue. Being on a backlog does not ensure work will be completed, equally not being on a backlog does not mean work will not be done, it's just a helpful way of allocating work to devs at Moodle HQ.
|No backlog
Assignee and watchers
Prior to May 2013 issues were automatically assigned to developers, even though they might never work on the issue. This created a false sense of progress and notionally denied others from becoming involved. Currently issues are not automatically assigned. Developers should only assign an issue to themselves when they have a definite intention to complete the issue.
Some components are automatically watched by users. If you think a user should be involved, add them to the list of watchers and comment on the issue.
Testing instructions
- Has the reporter provided testing instructions?
- The Testing instructions field is used during testing, after an issue has been resolved. If the reporter has provided appropriate testing instructions they can be left in place and updated by the developer who works on the issue.
- Often issue reporters will include reproduction steps in this field. It is good that this information is provided by the reporter, but it should be moved to the description unless it is seen to constitute an appropriate set of testing instructions.
- Are standard labels labels used?
- If not, remove superfluous labels (if necessary, they can be copied to the description).
- Issues are labelled triaged to indicate that all the above points have been covered.
- Issues with proposed fixes are labelled patch so that they can be found easily and given attention. When this is the case, consider whether moving the issue to the 'Waiting for peer review' state in the workflow might be more appropriate. Also consider if the user should be promoted to a jira-developer so they can submit patches more easily in future.
Gratitude and encouragement
After triaging many issues, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that the reporter has contributed their time and energy to report an issue for the benefit of the community.
It is easy to become defensive of Moodle if reports are seen as criticism (and sometimes reporters may use phrasing that suggests this), however the triagers response must always be one of sincere gratitude.
It is also important to encourage reporters to continue being involved with the issue after it is triaged. We must not give the sense that we are taking the issue ownership away from the reporter. Instead the reporter should be encouraged to discover the cause of the problem and present a solution; this is appropriate in an open-source project. It is amazing that such a challenge can lead to a sense of purpose for the reporters.
Here is a comment thanking a user for reporting a bug and encouraging them to continue working on the issue.
Thanks for reporting this.
I've put that on the backlog.
In the meantime feel free to help us work on this issue. If you are able to provide a patch or links to your Git repository branch, please add a patch label so we will spot it.
Here is a comment thanking a user for suggesting an improvement and encouraging them to continue working on the issue.
Thanks for reporting this.
Adding more detail to your suggestion will make it easier to work on.
If you can propose a code solution, that will help others who may have the same need and will increase the chance of this improvement/feature coming about sooner. If you are able to provide a patch or links to your Git repository branch, please add a patch label so we will spot it.
Creating a filter and gadget for triaging
If you are a component lead you are responsible for triaging issues that involve your component. A good way to monitor newly created issues is to create a filter in the Tracker and add a gadget on your dashboard to show the results of the filter.
Adding a filter
In Tracker...
- Select Issues > Search for Issues.
- Create a search for untriaged issues in your component, for example...
component in (Assignment) AND resolution = Unresolved AND (labels is EMPTY OR labels not in (triaged)) ORDER BY created DESC
- Run the search query by pressing Enter or clicking the magnifying glass icon to the right of the search box.
- When the search query results are displayed, click the Save as button.
- Save the search query with an appropriate name, like "Untriaged Assignment issues".
Adding a filter in a gadget to your dashboard
In Tracker...
- Click Dashboards > Dashboard for XXX (where XXX is your name).
- Click + Add Gadget.
- Find the Filter Results gadget.
- Click Add it Now.
- Click Finished.
- In the Saved Filter input, search for and select your newly created filter.
- Click Save.
The most recent untriaged issues should appear in reverse-date order.
Triaging priorities and the Triaging Dashboard
The following are the priorities for ordering issues to be triaged that are reflected on the Triaging dashboard.
- Security issues - should always be reduced to 0
- High-priority issue - aim for blockers and critical issues to be reduced to 0
- Partner issues - aim for partner issues to be reduced to 0
- Patched issues - aim to triage as soon as possible
- Developer-reported issues - should be quick to triage
- Recent community bugs - should be triaged last-in-first-out

Reviewed by Armando (age 7)
My opinion for this book is that it was great. My favorite part was when the story said that the raccoon was not homeless because he lived with a lion who was a king. I also liked when the lion forgave the raccoon for running away to the circus in the night.
I recommend this book to a kid that gets treated bad and has to live somewhere that they don't like. But no matter what your parents will be there for you and will care for you. This book should be recommended to kids that are 5 up to 11.

As one of the nation's thought leaders in the #Moralinjury field, we dedicate our efforts in helping individuals who are battling with moral injury to overcome #TheWarInside.
Moral Injury
Moral injury is a relatively recent term used to describe a crisis that soldiers have faced for centuries, the internal suffering that results from doing something against your moral code. In essence it is a wound to the conscience. However, it is not just military members that can experience this. And what is this?
It is soul anguish, a broken spirit, a shredded soul.
Anyone who works with marginalized, at-risk populations has probably seen that empty stare that can be moral injury. People in poverty. People struggling with addiction. People whose daily lives and their choices erode their feeling of being a good and decent person, worthy of respect. People who carry unprocessed grief and guilt in ordinary life. People with stressful life-and-death type situational jobs such as police officers, doctors and nurses. Because of things we do, witness, are ordered to do, or fail to do in high stakes situations. We can lose our moral foundations and our sense of being a good person.
In war, it's often your job to do those things that violate everything you were ever taught is wrong. Moral injury afflicts ordinary moral people, when no good choice is possible in situations where people must use the power they have to act, knowing they will cause harm, or violate their own core moral values. In those situations we actually don't lose our moral conscience, but in judging ourselves, we become both betrayer and betrayed. A soul divided against itself.
Moral injury is a broken spirit - not a disorder or a psychiatric condition, though it profoundly effects our mental health. Moral injury is the feeling that one is no longer possible to be good anymore. It is the loss of the capacity for trust and empathy, of a sense of meaning, and even of faith in God.
Dr. William Nash Discusses Moral Injury Beyond the Military Context
The emerging issue of moral injury has been most often associated with returning military personnel. However, Volunteers of America believes this construct extends beyond the military setting, requiring more investigation into how to identify and treat moral injury among diverse populations. This video highlights an interview with Dr. William P. Nash, speaking on the subject.
"I returned to sleepless nights, to thoughts and memories of war. There was no moral shelter with which to protect myself. 'Moral injury' helps me name something about myself that resists my knowing it completely – a disconnect, or a rift, I feel between the self that went to and supported the war and the self that looks back on it as anathema to who I am."Michael Yandell, U.S. Army and Iraq War veteran
Volunteers of America is committed to broadening the public, faith-based and medical community's knowledge about the effects of moral injury. Our goals are the widespread acknowledgement that moral injury is a legitimate obstruction to personal well-being for a vast spectrum of populations and communities and extensive training in how to address it in those populations.
Volunteers of America's moral injury repair initiatives have increased our capacity to serve veterans in crisis and at risk of suicide. Engaging staff who are veterans and who are certified mental health specialists (via certification as Veteran Peer Support Specialists, a recognized mental health specialty), our training programs offer critical skills to strengthen veterans against the challenges they face.

We here at Chateau Heartiste have been pretty uniform in our assertion that relationships and marriages are more loving, and more sexually fulfilling, when men and women abide their ancient biological roles. Happiness comes from respecting the god of biomechanics. Unhappiness from denying him.
In a study sure to make feminists apoplectic, it was discovered that couples who share household chores are more likely to divorce.
Divorce rates are far higher among "modern" couples who share the housework than in those where the woman does the lion's share of the chores, a Norwegian study has found.
In what appears to be a slap in the face for gender equality, the report found the divorce rate among couples who shared housework equally was around 50 per cent higher than among those where the woman did most of the work.
"What we've seen is that sharing equal responsibility for work in the home doesn't necessarily contribute to contentment," said Thomas Hansen, co-author of the study entitled "Equality in the Home". [ed: readers of this blog will not be surprised by these results.]
The lack of correlation between equality at home and quality of life was surprising, the researcher said.
"One would think that break-ups would occur more often in families with less equality at home, but our statistics show the opposite," he said.
The figures clearly show that "the more a man does in the home, the higher the divorce rate," he went on.
File under: Don't listen to what women say, watch what they do.
Women have been claiming for God knows how long that they want a man who will do his share of the housework, but when he does, their vaginas dry up like the Sahara. You see, equality of the sexes is a myth. Women don't *really* want equal husbands. What women want are strong husbands who don't act like women, which means, in practice, not puttering around the house dusting, mopping, vacuuming, cooking, or doing the laundry. A strong, masculine man is too busy — and too proud — to do shit like that. He has a mission in life outside the home, and women love that about him, even when they claim otherwise.
The reasons, Mr Hansen said, lay only partially with the chores themselves.
"Maybe it's sometimes seen as a good thing to have very clear roles with lots of clarity … where one person is not stepping on the other's toes," he suggested.
"There could be less quarrels, since you can easily get into squabbles if both have the same roles and one has the feeling that the other is not pulling his or her own weight."
The sex's division of labor evolved for a reason: it's most compatible with the feminine and masculine sexual polarity. There are some pursuits and some kinds of work that are simply feminine in nature, and woe be the man who willingly takes up the woman's work in an effort to appease her; he may as well grow a vagina, for that is how she will perceive his sexual attractiveness.
But when it comes to housework, women in Norway still account for most of it in seven out of 10 couples. The study emphasised women who did most of the chores did so of their own volition and were found to be as "happy" those in "modern" couples.
So much for the patriarchal power structure.
Dr Frank Furedi, Sociology professor at the University of Canterbury, said the study made sense as chore sharing took place more among couples from middle class professional backgrounds, where divorce rates are known to be high.
"These people are extremely sensitive to making sure everything is formal, laid out and contractual. That does make for a fairly fraught relationship," he told the Daily Telegraph.
Middle class status striving: does a marriage bad!
"The more you organise your relationship, the more you work out diaries and schedules, the more it becomes a business relationship than an intimate, loving spontaneous one."
Ain't that the truth. Like CH has been trumpeting for years, spontaneity, unpredictability and a little bit of aloof frisson make Joe and Jane a happy couple. Pro-tip: Steer clear of ballcutting battle axes with honey-do lists.
"In a good relationship people simply don't know who does what and don't particularly care."
America, fuck yeah! Just keep seducing your lover, and who does the "chores" becomes a non-issue.
The researchers expected to find that where men shouldered more of the burden, women's happiness levels were higher. In fact they found that it was the men who were happier while their wives and girlfriends appeared to be largely unmoved.
Call this the Manboob-Schwyzer Syndrome. Guys do housework because they think it is the way to appease feminist shrikes, and then feel happy about contributing, while women get more depressed as their attraction for an apron-wearing kitchen bitch plummets.
Since women's happiness largely dictates whether a marriage will last or dissolve, equality-minded husbands ought to be aware that their good deeds are going punished in the souls of their wives. You want to kill the sexual vibe in your wife? Start splitting the housework. She'll never look at you as a sexy stud again. You want to keep the love strong? Let her clean the house. You'll be in the garage tinkering on your motorcycle.
I really hope the harpies at Jizzebel read this and shake violently from surprise orgasm.

Nikki Sixx Set To Release Two More Books
Motley Crue and Sixx: AM bassist Nikki Sixx has been putting pen to paper once again to create two new books. Having already published the scathing memoir 'The Heroin Diaries,' and 'This Is Gonna Hurt' (a collection of photography and insight), Sixx's next book may see a release date as soon as May 2012.
Whereas many rock stars of his legendary status make an effort to avoid their fans, Sixx actively communicates with his followers on his Facebook and Twitter pages. The official announcement of his latest written project was made after a fan named Nicki asked Sixx, "WHEN IS YOUR NEXT BOOK COMING?!!!!"
"Nicki, Hello….I am working on it now….I am hoping to release it somewhere between May-June 2012," Sixx responded. "I am writing two books as we speak actually….The 2nd book will be out in 2013….Neither book is like anything i have done before ( i guess you can say the same thing about 'The Heroin Diaries' and 'This is gonna hurt' too )…I pride myself on not writing the same book over & over and also not using a ghost writer..Of course it takes longer, but raw honesty through words is what i am driven to publish…After i get it all out on paper i use a trusted editor to help me carve it into a palatable experience…"
Stay in touch with Nikki Sixx through his Facebook and Twitter pages, where breaking news is bound to pop up at any time.

Spaghetti alla Marinara (Sailor's Spaghetti)
Cooking For Engineers Forum Index

Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2005 8:51 pm
Post subject: Spaghetti alla Marinara (Sailor's Spaghetti)
Being I an Italian engineer, what I can do at my best for contributing to this site should be to post some pasta recipes. As any good engineer should do, I will try to follow the rule "Keep it simple". And indeed, the majority of pasta recipes are very simple ones.
I will start with one of the simplest and quickiest: "Spaghetti alla marinara".
The name of this very old and traditional recipe could be translated as "Sailor's spaghetti", but it is not (as one could be expecting) a fish or seafood recipe. This name (I suppose) raises from the fact that it is based on few and portable ingredients, easily carried on Mediterranean fishing boats and available in every harbour, and that is a very quick (although savourful) preparation, so it was (and is) a favourite dish for fishermen and sailors.
Ingredients (for two):
- 300 gr. spaghetti
- 4 medium/small tomatoes
- 2 cloves of garlic
- half glass of olive oil
- 2 small chili peppers
- parmesan cheese.
- salt
1) Cooking spaghetti (in the Italian way):
- Put the salt in the water (2 teaspoonful for each liter).
- Bring to boiling.
- Put the spaghetti in the boiling water.
- Leave them boiling for exactly 9 minutes.
- Now the problem is how to extract the boiled spaghetti from the boiling water.
I use a special spoon with many teeth and holes in the bottom, that is very practical, but maybe is not easily available out of Italy. The traditional way requires another special tool (scolapasta), that is a large cup with many holes, so that one can pour inside it all the content of the pot, and the water can flow away, leaving the spaghetti. In absence of any tool, anyway, it is possible to pour away the excess water, and, with some patience, to take the spaghetti from the pot with a simple fork.
2) "Marinara" sauce:
- While the water for spaghetti is going to boil, put the oil in a rather large pan.
- Slice each garlic clove into 2 parts and put them into the pan.
- Fry the garlic (but don't allow it to become brown nor yellow !)
- While the garlic is frying, slice the tomatoes into the pan.
- put into the pan the chili peppers.
- Leave all cooking until the tomatoes are dissolving, smashing them with a fork.
3) The end:
- Put the spaghetti into the pan with the sauce and mix all.
- Put the spaghetti in the dishes, and if you have some leaves of fresh basil put one or two leaves on the top.
- Serve with freshly grinded parmesan cheese.

Post subject: Spaghetti alla Marinara
(1) Chopped Black olives must be used-
(2) Chopped Capers must Be used
(3) No Chili
(4) Basil like all herbs must be omitted from the recipe before serving-
(5) Marinara sauce must be made first and allowed to sit for 45 minutes before serving- Cheese is never served on a Spaghetti alla Marinara Sauce-
If one wishes to use the name "Spaghetti alla Marinara" Then for uniformity of recipe world wide - a standard set application must prevail-You cannot possibly teach apprentices worldwide a recipe which has been implied incorrectly- Hence "Italian Classical Cookery"is indeed on the verge of dissapearing altogether-because of the many incorrect variants of italian recipes that has now taken over the classical application-

Post subject: Oh, please
Chef Davide, I was classically trained in Switzerland (probably before you were born). As the French themselves will tell you and as Escoffier and Careme, were they alive today, would have agreed:
The original purpose of so-called "classical cuisine" was to allow for some standardization in cookery so that travellers could expect a "reasonable facsimile" of something they liked wherever they went, not to elevate it to the height of snobbery, which your posts seem to do. Improvisations and substitutions have always been a necessity in cooking.
It is nice to refer to the original and see how it is "supposed" to be, but true and genuine Italian and French cooking are still alive and well everywhere, albeit with some "personalizations."
Instead of condemning the wonderful renaissance in cooking that is taking place in countries that were once barren of anything beyond "tv dinners," you might want to help educate hapless Americans (and others) on the fine point that if
you make substitutions or deviate from the "classic" recipe, then you may no longer actually call a dish by its given name.
That means that if you are using chili peppers in a Marinara, it is no longer classic Marinara, but
Marinara alla X
(X being your name).
To define all classical cooking by the narrow range of recipes the greats such as Careme, Escoffier, Beard, Point, Pauli and a handfull of others is to condemn it to death. Here's a good starting reference on truly great classical chefs:

I remember Marinara just as you have described. I am alergic to fish so i remember the first time i was told that marinara was off the menu for me as it had to contain fish. I think this is a modern idea. i never had fish in my marinara when my nannie made it for me . Her heritage and italianess are undesputable.

In Italian
It refers to the sea... check a dictionary, no other meaning is possible, unless you are cooking sailors.
Just what did you have in your non seafood marinara ????????
the original always contains and is based on seafood.

Tuesday Jan. 29 the Brush Beetdiggers girls hosted the Eaton Reds on the 'Digger court.
Brush was going into the game with a league record of 2-1 and came out at 2-2 as the Reds outmatched them 50-40 on a physically aggressive level.
The Lady Beetdiggers came out strong and led at the half by 10 points, but then something happened over halftime.
The game changed completely. The way the teams played, the way it was called, maybe even the atmosphere in the gym, and the Reds would be the one who would be victorious.
"It was frustrating because we couldn't match their physicality, they played belly to belly defense and if you can get away with that, well that's great defense, if you can pull it off," said head coach Tom George.
Shelby Wolever opened up the game with a basket about a minute into play to make it 2-0 but the Reds answered right back and then some to make it 4-2, before Brush could even get back on their side of the court it was 5-2 Eaton after a free throw.
Wolever sank a basket to pull Brush within one, and Alex White picked up two points to make it 7-6.
Kristen Berg popped a free throw to the game up at 7-7, and then got a ball of the rebound and put it in for the 'Diggers to take the lead at 9-7. A basket from Berg and a three-pointer from Wolever ended the first quarter at 14-10 Brush.
Melissa Wahlert stepped into the game and started off with a three-pointer to make it 17-10, then Brush walked off with an explosive round of baskets from Berg to make it 26-10. Eaton got the next three baskets unanswered to end the first half at 26-16 Brush.
The Reds continued that streak to start the second half, and it didn't stop until the game was tied at 26-26 and then Eaton the lead at 28-26.
Emma Mortensen finally answered with a basket to tie it up at 28-28, but Eaton hit a three to make it 31-28, and White hit a desperate buzzer-beating two pointer to bring the 'Diggers within one point at the end of the third 31-30.
At the beginning of the final quarter the Eaton added some padding to its lead at 34-30, which was proving to be difficult for Brush to make up as the girls kept getting more and more flustered with Eaton defense leaving no breathing room face to face.
Wolever finally stepped in with a basket to make it 34-32, but the Reds then upped the lead to 38-32. Mortensen sank a basket to make it 41-34, but the Reds walked off again to make it 44-34.
After White sank a basket to make it 44-36, the Reds answered 46-36 with two minutes left, which took about 15 minutes to play as both teams, especially the Reds, lived on the foul line for the fourth quarter.
Casey Blake had some free throws, and Berg sank another basket, but the Reds had already done their damage and put such a press on Brush that there no room to fight back.
"All we can do now is go back to the drawing boards for Estes Park, we've seen them play and they are aggressive and physical too, we know what we have to do," said George.
JV, C and Freshman Results
While the JV squad fell 50-27 in Eaton that night, the Brush C team earned a nail-biting 33-31 victory.
For the Freshman players, the hard-fought win comes just days after the squad went 3-0 at a Saturday, January 26 tournament in Ault where the young Beetdigger players earned a 64-10 victory over Greeley West, took a win over Fort Lupton 61-15 and finished off the day with a final 33-10 victory over Platte Valley. The Lady 'Diggers played powerful defense in the trio of games, allowing only 14 field goals in three games.
The 'Diggers visit Estes Park tonight, with C-team slated to begin at 4:00 pm, JV set to start at 5:15 and varsity tip-off at 6:30 p.m.

New research published in Biology Letters last week presents evidence that wormholes can advance our knowledge by bridging gaps in time. But no, this isn't the cosmic, theoretical, Star Trek and Sliders kind of wormhole. This research is about holes made by worms and larvae. S. Blair Hedges, a biologist from Penn State University, used wormholes printed in art to examine the historical distribution of wood-boring insects in Europe.
Woodcut printing, which originated in Asia nearly 2,000 years ago, is an artistic way to print text and images. Words, characters, or pictures are carved in relief onto a block of wood, which is then inked and stamped onto paper. This art form was the major method of illustration in books for hundreds of years, from the invention of the printing press until the early 1800s.
Ingeniously, Hedges realized that wormholes embedded in the wood blocks were transferred onto the prints as white dots and tracks, and that these imperfections could be used to identify and track different species of insects throughout history.
Hedges used 473 wormhole-laden prints from across Europe, dated between 1462 and 1899. He identified two species that might have burrowed their way through these European wood blocks: Anobium punctatum, the "common furniture beetle," and Oligomerus ptilinoides, the "Mediterranean furniture beetle." The larvae of these species tend to attack dry hardwood, such as the apple, pear, and boxwood usually used to make the blocks for woodcut prints. Termites, along with many other European insects, prefer softer, drier wood. While these two beetle species now co-occur, there is little knowledge of their historical distribution across Europe.
There was a distinct difference between the wormholes in prints that originated in northern and southern Europe; prints from the north tended to have wormholes that were small and round, whereas southern prints had larger wormholes and were more likely to have "tracks" showing the actual burrows of the larvae. Based on the size and shape of these holes, Hedges determined that the northern wormholes were most likely made by the common furniture beetle, while the southern wormholes match those of its Mediterranean cousin.
Interestingly, the prints showed no evidence that these two species occurred together before the late 1800s; prints had holes made by either one or the other species, not both. It's likely, therefore, that these two species had distinct geographical boundaries and only came into contact with each other in the last 100 years or so. Hedges suggests that local competition likely played a role in the species' historical separation, and that the expansion of global trade in the early 20th century may have spread these beetles more widely and helped their ranges overlap.
This creative use of wormholes has much more information to offer; printed wormholes may be able to help researchers understand historical species invasions in other continents, such as Asia, and they could help track the origins of unknown works of woodcut art.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- New York City voters think New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie did the best job among top public officials after Hurricane Sandy hit, a poll found.
The Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday said New Yorkers overwhelmingly said President Obama, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo all did a "good" or "excellent" job after the devastating storm, but Christie outperformed them.
Asked who did the best job, 36 percent responded Christie, 22 percent Obama, 15 percent Cuomo and 12 percent Bloomberg.
Eighty-nine percent of Big Apple voters said Christie's response was "excellent" or "good," followed by 85 percent for Cuomo, 84 percent for Obama and 75 percent for Bloomberg.
"The storm-of-the-century brings out the best in Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Michael Bloomberg, New Yorkers say. But that love fest between New Jersey Governor Christopher Christie and President Barack Obama seems to have moved voters especially," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "While all four leaders get very high marks -- it seems a hug or two never hurts."
The poll also found voters by a 51-41 margin said they thought government and relief agencies favored Manhattan over the other city boroughs, though Manhattan voters didn't think so by a 47-44 margin.
The effort by first responders was rated "good" or "excellent" by 86 percent, and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority came in at 75 percent. Utility companies, saddled with trying to restore power to millions of homes, were rated "good" or "excellent" by just 37 percent, with 58 percent rating them "not so good" or "poor."
The Red Cross came in at 66 percent "good" or "excellent."
People liked Bloomberg's odd-even gas rationing system 85 percent to 12 percent.
Those surveyed were strongly on board with the belief that climate change is the reason for more frequent large storms such as Sandy and Irene, 78 percent to 17 percent.
Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,165 New York City voters by land-line phones and cellphones Nov. 14-18. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points.

Cedarville University psychology major David Brush advanced from research intern to lab coordinator and senior lab member at Ofen Lab for Cognitive and Brain Development the summer of 2013.
Brush, a senior from West Bloomfield, Mich., spent four months at the Institute of Gerontology at Wayne State University doing research in the Ofen lab. "It was a little intimidating at first," said Brush. "The credentials of everyone in the lab were quite impressive." He worked alongside professionals with advanced degrees including several with doctorate degrees in neuroscience from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Carnegie Mellon University.
After two weeks of intensive training, Brush became a senior lab member, a position primarily given to graduate or postdoctoral students. As a senior lab member, Brush administered and scored IQ and neuropsychological assessments. He ran many Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) sessions and learned computer programming languages to analyze the data collected.
In addition to his work as a senior lab member, Brush became the lab coordinator in July. His new responsibilities included training and overseeing undergraduate research assistants and recruiting participants and scheduling their assessments. As lab coordinator, Brush also worked with undergraduate students to setup research studies conducted by postdoctoral students.
Each week, everyone at the lab met for progress reports and research updates presented by one of the postdoctoral students. Toward the end of the summer, Brush was asked to run one of the weekly lab meetings. He gave a two-hour presentation including analysis of all the data the lab had collected up to that point. "This was one of the best and most nerve-wracking parts of my time at Ofen lab," said Brush.
Impressed by the presentation, lab director and private investigator, Noa Ofen, Ph.D., asked Brush to write a paper with data analysis from his presentation. Brush will finalize the paper later this semester and will send it to Ofen for publishing in a neuroscience journal.
Located in southwest Ohio, Cedarville University attracts 3,400 undergraduate, graduate and online students to more than 100 areas of study. Inspiring greatness for over 125 years, Cedarville is a Christ-centered learning community recognized nationally for rigorous academic programs, strong graduation and retention rates, accredited professional and health science offerings and leading student satisfaction ratings.

DTP Ganymede Resolving Discouraged Access Warnings
Document Status
[8/24/07]: This document is a draft and should not be taken as offical until reviewed and approved by the DTP PMC and project leads.
As described in the DTP Ganymede Project Plan, a main goal of DTP Ganymede is to resolve as many Discouraged Access warnings in the DTP code line as possible. The reasoning and general process for doing this is outlined in the DTP Ganymede Development Guildlines. The purpose of this page is to collect specific information about how these Discouraged Access warnings will be resolved.
Current Status
A check of DTP HEAD at the beginning of August, 2007, reveals a large number of Discouraged Access warnings. We will call a Discouraged Access warning internal if the reference is within DTP itself, and external otherwise. Using this distinction, we find:
- About 1800 internal warnings
- About 160 external warnings
Resolution of Warnings
Fortunately, the vast majority of these are within DTP itself. Since we have decided that DTP components can freely use code among themselves, this means that most of the Discouraged Access warnings are really not a problem. Hence, we only need to find a way of indicating, in project and/or plug-in meta-data, that no Discouraged Access warning should be registered for org.eclipse.datatools.* classes using org.eclipse.datatools.* code.

EETimes writer R. Colin Johnson has posted an excellent article on MEMS manufacturer InvenSense's foray into the smartphone market. (For more on MEMS gyros taking off, see Colin's article, "Five Apps That Will Make 2010 the Year of the Gyroscope" in Smarter Technology.)
The article notes:
- Estimated at $115 billion, the smartphone market is very lucrative for MEMS makers like InvenSense.
- InvenSense CEO Steven Nasiri was quoted as estimating "that in less than two years, every phone will be a smartphone with a camera, WiFi, Bluetooth and email."
- InvenSense's new 3-axis gyro integrates with an accelerometer to provide new user interface functionality for the apps that smartphone users demand, such as gaming and music applications.
It will be interesting to see if Apple's rumored tablet computer (to be announced today at a special event in San Francisco) will incorporate any gyros into its user interface. (Isn't a tablet computer essentially a bigger smartphone?)

Johnson Liu is a Software Engineer with IBM Software Group in the United States. For IBM Case Manager, he developed various early training workshops, white papers, and code samples. Johnson has expertise and supports customers in the areas of widget development, user interface, and solution deployment and conversion. Johnson has a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of California in Business Information Management.
In this blog entry, I will show you how to customize IBM Case Manager V5.2 to use custom logic and retrieve the next work item automatically for the Work Details page. This is typically used when the solution must automatically present the next work item in the work queue based on some custom logic when a case worker completes a work item.
Special note: This customization scenario uses the icm/util/workItemHandler class that has yet to be published on the IBM Case Manager JavaScript API reference documentation on the IBM Case Manager V5.2 Information Center. It will be published after fix pack 1 has been released for IBM Case Manager V5.2. This class will allow application developers to handle work items by examining the state or to retrieve the next work item in the In-basket widget with the handleNextWorkItem(icmWorkItem) and handleWorkItem(icmWorkItem, isNext) functions. This customization scenario and the Opening Multiple Work Items customization scenario in the IBM Redbooks publication, Advanced Case Management with IBM Case Manager are great examples of how to use icm/util/workItemHandler.
Getting the next work item with custom logic after completing a work item
This customization scenario allows the user to complete a work item, then have some custom logic to retrieve the next work item automatically. The custom logic in this specific example retrieves the next work item that has the same step name as the one that was opened from the In-baskets widget.
This customization scenario utilizes the get next option that is available in the Work Item Toolbar widget's Complete action. The Complete action in the Work Item Toolbar widget can be enabled to automatically get the next work item. This retrieves the next work item when the case worker clicks on this Complete button. This customization extends off of this standard feature in IBM Case Manager and adds custom logic.
The Work Item Toolbar widget's Complete action
Specifically, for the Customer Complaints solution, if a case worker is of the Specialist Role and opens the only Review Product Compliant work item in the work queue and the rest of the work items in the queue for the Specialist role are Review Non-Product Compliant work items, then the work details page will notify the case worker that there are no more work items to retrieve. We will discuss how to customize the solution below.
- Open the page or custom Work Details page in Page Designer. In this example, we will use the Work Details page.
- Open the Edit Wiring window and select the Page Container widget. Click on the Event Broadcasting tab and un-check the box for the Send work item. This ensures that the custom script we add in later broadcasts this event, instead of the page.
- Click the Edit Settings icon on the Work Item Toolbar widget. Click on the Toolbar tab and double click on the Complete toolbar label to edit it.
- Check the box labeled Automatically get the next work item. This enables the Complete button on the work details page to retrieve the next work item.
- Drag and drop the Script Adapter widget from the widget palette area to the main layout area.
Sample script to process a work item
var widget = this;
], function(
) {
if(payload !== null){
var workItemEditable = payload.workItemEditable;
var UIState = payload.UIState;
if ( workItemEditable !== null) {
/*If the current work item is not gotten from get next function, just show it*/
var stepName = workItemEditable.getStepName();
if(UIState !== null && UIState.get("GetNext") === true){
/*do any rules based on business logic*/
if ( widget.lastWorkItemStepName && stepName !== widget.lastWorkItemStepName){
/* if the work item is not expected. We always need to handle the work item with same stepName for handling */
var icmWorkitem = workItemEditable.getWorkItem();
icmWorkitem.abortStep(lang.hitch(this, function(){
var handler = new WorkItemHandler(widget);
widget.lastWorkItemStepName = stepName;
widget.onBroadcastEvent("icm.SendWorkItem", payload);
widget.lastWorkItemStepName = stepName;
widget.onBroadcastEvent("icm.SendWorkItem", payload);
return null;
Click the Edit Wiring icon on the Script Adapter widget and enter the following values under the section labeled Incoming Events for the Script Adapter:
- Source widget: Page Container
- Outgoing event: Send work item
- Incoming event: Receive event payload
- Click the OK button to save the changes to the Script Adapter widget. Then save the changes to the page, deploy the changes to the solution.
- Open Case Manager Client to validate this customization scenario. To validate, open a work item directly from the In-baskets widget to view the work item on the Work Details page. Then, complete the work item and notice that the next work item with the same step name comes up automatically. When there are no more work items with the same name in the In-baskets widget, there is a dialog that comes up.

In the 18 months since Scanners** first issued 'Lowlife' on the darling and fledgling Tigertrap records, it's been a bit of a topsy-turvy old affair for the band. Signed stateside to trendiest-of-all American label Dim Mak, the band have been ploughing the lonely furrow in the States, concentrating on showing their wares there. Why? Has the poor United Kingdom treated you so badly? It's true that the fireworks and fanfares have never been zealously forthcoming on home shore, but perhaps that's because Scanners' output is fine, well thought-out songs without being anything greater.
'Lowlife', as suggested by its re-release, is one of their better songs, but that only highlights their malaise: it's good, but nowhere near as good as it implies it is. There's a wearied undercurrent to Sarah Daly's vocals as she and her band attempt to mimic Polly Jean Harvey circa Stories From The City…, in particular 'Is This Love?'. It's enjoyable, building up to a beseeching crescendo, complete with swooping cellos for extra 'gravitas', but ultimately it flounders on the rocks of grand ambitions. Not bad, but the next time they return to these shores, we expect better.

SANDY, Utah – Another game at Rio Tinto, another Real Salt Lake win. Same old, same old.
But Saturday night was extra special. And it wasn't just that RSL knocked off the leaders of the Eastern Conference, the Columbus Crew, with a convincing 2-0 victory. It wasn't just the statements made by the Crew, which drew the ire of the Real Salt Lake players and, in particular, coach Jason Kreis.
Beyond the trash-talking and the magnitude of the win, the real story Saturday was Javier Morales. The Argentine was quite simply sensational during each of his 63 minutes on the field. He scored both goals on the night, and the first one was positively divine.
Morales received a pass in the 11th minute toward the penalty area from Fabian Espindola, with whom he had teamed up on a short corner kick. Instead of picking up the ball immediately for a cross into the box, Morales let the ball continue to drift to his right, closer to the center of the pitch.
As if sizing up his pray, he then picked out his moment and pounced on the ball, driving it to the far post. It bent around a line of four players who were making runs back to his left and, as a lane cleared, the ball zipped past them, just inside the far post, and found the corner of the net, leaving goalkeeper William Hesmer stunned.
In the 60th, Morales added a stunning free kick strike to finish off a brace. Not only was he the man of the match, but he outplayed fellow Argentine Guillermo Barros Schelotto and helped his team to enjoy the bulk of possession out on the field. And although Schelotto was a hero of Morales' as he rose up through the ranks in the Argentine Primera División, Morales told reporters he doesn't concern himself with comparisons to his one-time idol.
"I play for Real Salt Lake," he said. "I play for my team."
His coach and teammates raved about his performance after the match. After having played the full 90 minutes on Wednesday, and also last Saturday, Kreis was a little unsure if he had enough in the tank to live up to his normal standards tonight.
"I kind of expected a little bit of a letdown," the RSL coach admitted, "so I was really pleased to see how up for this one he was."
Turns out he was ready for the match. In fact, this was one of his finer moments in an RSL uniform, and captain Kyle Beckerman understands how valuable that is.
"When he's like that," Beckerman said, "we're a pretty tough team."
