Roberts Rules of Order Revised.
36. Reconsider.
This motion is peculiar in that the making of the motion has a higher rank than its consideration, and for a certain time prevents anything being done as the result of the vote it is proposed to reconsider. It can be made only on the day the vote to be reconsidered was taken, or on the next succeeding day, a legal holiday or a recess not being counted as a day. It must be made by one who voted with the prevailing side. Any member may second it. It can be made while any other question is pending, even if another member has the floor, or after it has been voted to adjourn, provided the chair has not declared the assembly adjourned. It may be made after the previous question has been ordered, in which case it and the motion to be reconsidered are undebatable.
While the making of the motion to reconsider has such high privilege, its consideration has only the rank of the motion to be reconsidered, though it has the right of way in preference to any new motion of equal rank, as illustrated further on; and the reconsideration of a vote disposing of a main question either temporarily or permanently may be called up, when no question is pending, even though the general orders are being carried out. The motion to reconsider cannot be amended, postponed indefinitely, or committed. If the reconsideration is laid on the table or postponed definitely, the question to be reconsidered and all adhering questions go with it.
The previous question and the motions limiting or extending the limits of debate may be applied to it when it is debatable. It is undebatable only when the motion to be reconsidered is undebatable. When debatable it opens to debate the merits of the question to be reconsidered. It cannot be withdrawn after it is too late to renew the motion. If the motion to reconsider is lost it cannot be repeated except by general consent. No question can be twice reconsidered unless it was materially amended after its first reconsideration. A reconsideration requires only a majority vote, regardless of the vote necessary to adopt the motion reconsidered.
The motion to reconsider
cannot be applied
to a vote on a motion that may be renewed within a reasonable time; or when practically the same result may be attained by some other parliamentary motion; or when the vote has been partially executed (except in case of the motion to limit debate), or something has been done as the result of the vote that the assembly cannot undo; or to an affirmative vote in the nature of a contract, when the other party to the contract has been notified of the vote; or to a vote on the motion to reconsider. In accordance with these principles, vote on the following motions
cannot be reconsidered:
Adjourn; Take a Recess; Lay on the Table; Take from the Table; Suspend the Rules or Order of Business; and Reconsider. Affirmative votes on the following cannot be reconsidered: Proceed to the Orders of the Day; Adopt, or after they are adopted, to Amend, or Repeal, or Rescind, the Constitution, By-laws, or Rules of Order or any other rules that require previous notice for their amendment; Elect to membership or office if the member or officer is present and does not decline, or if absent and has learned of his election in the usual way and has not declined; to Reopen Nominations. A negative vote on the motion to Postpone Indefinitely cannot be reconsidered as practically the same question comes up again when the vote is taken on the main question. After a committee has taken up the matter referred to it, it is too late to reconsider the vote committing it, though the committee may be discharged. But after debate has proceeded under an order limiting or extending the limits of debate, the vote making that order may be reconsidered, as the debate may develop facts that make it desirable to return to the regular rules of debate. The minutes, or record of proceedings, may be corrected at any time without reconsidering the vote approving them.
If the main question is pending and it is moved to reconsider the vote on any subsidiary [
], incidental [
], or privileged [
] motion, the chair states the question on the reconsideration the moment the motion to be reconsidered is in order if it were made then for the first time. Thus, if while the motions to commit, for the previous question, and to lay on the table are pending, it is moved to reconsider a negative vote on postponing to a certain time, the chair proceeds to take the vote on laying on the table and, if that is lost, next on the previous question, and then on reconsidering the vote on the postponement, and if that is adopted, then on the postponement, and if that is lost, then on to commit. If the motion to lay on the table had been carried, then when the question was taken from the table the same method of procedure would be followed; that is, the question would be first on ordering the previous question, and next on reconsidering the vote on the postponement, etc. If the reconsideration of an amendment of the first degree is moved while another amendment of the same degree is pending, the pending amendment is first disposed of and then the chair announces the question on the reconsideration of the amendment. If the reconsideration of an amendment to an immediately pending question is moved the chair at once announces the question on the reconsideration.
If the reconsideration is moved while another subject is before the assembly, it cannot interrupt the pending business, but, as soon as that has been disposed of, if called up it has the preference over all other main motions and general orders. In such a case the chair does not state the question on the reconsideration until it is called up.
If the motion to reconsider is made at a time when the reconsideration could be called up if it had been previously made, the chair at once states the question on the reconsideration, unless the mover adds to his motion the words, and have it entered on the minutes, as explained further on.
If, after the vote has been taken on the adoption of a main motion, it is desired to reconsider the vote on an amendment, it is necessary to reconsider the vote on the main question also, and one motion should be made to cover both votes. The same principle applies in case of an amendment to an amendment, whether the vote has been taken on the resolution, or only on the amendment of the first degree. When the motion covers the reconsideration of two or three votes, the debate is limited to the question that was first voted on. Thus, if the motion is to reconsider the votes on a resolution and amendments of the first and second degree, the debate is limited to the amendment of the second degree. If the motion to reconsider is adopted the chair states the question on the amendment of the second degree and recognizes the mover of the reconsideration as entitled to the floor. The question is now in exactly the same condition it was in just previous to taking the original vote on that amendment.
of making this motion are as follows: I move to reconsider the vote on the resolution relating to a banquet. I move to reconsider the vote on the amendment to strike out Wednesday and insert Thursday. [This form is used when the resolution is still pending.] I move to reconsider the votes on the resolution relating to a banquet and on the amendment to strike out Wednesday and insert Thursday. [This form is used when the vote has been taken on the resolution, and it is desired to reconsider the vote on an amendment.] When the motion to reconsider is made the chair states the question, if it can then be considered, and proceeds as with any other question. If it cannot be considered at that time, he says, Mr. A moves to reconsider the vote on… The secretary will make a note of it, and proceeds with the pending business. The reconsideration, after being moved, is brought before the assembly for action as explained in the previous paragraph. If it is
called up
by a member, he simply says, after obtaining the floor, I call up the motion to reconsider the vote on… This call requires no second or vote. If the call is in order, as previously explained, the chair says, The motion to reconsider the vote [or votes] on… is called up. The question is, Will the assembly reconsider the vote [or votes] on…? Are you ready for the question? If the reconsideration is one that the chair states the question on as soon as it can be considered (as when it is moved to reconsider an amendment while another amendment is pending), as soon as the proper time arrives the chair states the question on the reconsideration the same as if the motion to reconsider were made at this time.
When the debate, if there is any, is finished, he
puts the question
thus: As many as are in favor of reconsidering the vote on the resolution relating to a banquet, say
those opposed say
The ayes have it and the votes on the resolution is reconsidered. The question is now on the resolution, which is, etc. Or, the question may be put thus: The question is, Will the assembly reconsider the votes on the resolution relating to a banquet, and on the amendment to strike out Wednesday and insert Thursday? As many as are in favor of the reconsideration say
those opposed say
The ayes have it and the votes on the resolution and the amendment are reconsidered. The question is now on the amendment, which is, etc. If the motion to reconsider is adopted the business is in exactly the same condition it was in before taking the vote, or the votes, that have been reconsidered, and the chair instantly states the question on the immediately pending question, which is then open to debate and amendment as before.
Effect of Making
this motion is to suspend all action that the original motion would have required until the reconsideration is acted upon; but if it is not called up, this effect terminates with the session
], except in an assembly having regular meetings as often as quarterly, when, if not called up, its effect does not terminate till the close of the next regular session. As long as its effect lasts, any one at an adjourned, or a special, or a regular meeting, may
call up
the motion to reconsider and have it acted upon, though it is not usual for any one but the mover to call it up on the day it is made if the session lasts beyond that day and there is no need of prompt action.
Effect of the Adoption
of this motion is to place before the assembly the original question in the exact position it occupied before it was voted upon; consequently no one, after the reconsideration is adopted, can debate the question reconsidered who had on that day exhausted his right of debate on that question; his only recourse is to discuss the question while the motion to reconsider is before the assembly. If the question is not reconsidered until a later day than that on which the vote to be reconsidered was taken, then it is open to free debate regardless of speeches made previously. When a vote taken under the operation of the previous question is reconsidered, the question is then divested of the previous question, and is open to debate and amendment, provided the previous question had been exhausted by votes taken on all the questions covered by it, before the motion to reconsider was made.
In standing and special committees a vote may be reconsidered regardless of the time elapsed since the vote was taken, provided the motion is made by one who did not vote with the losing side, and that all members who voted with the prevailing side are present, or have received due notice that the reconsideration would be moved at this meeting. A vote cannot be reconsidered in committee of the whole.
Reconsider and Have Entered on the Minutes.
The motion to reconsider, as previously explained in this section, provides means for correcting, at least on the day on which it occurred, errors due to hasty action. By using the same motion and having it entered on the minutes so that it cannot be called up until another day, a means is provided for preventing a temporary majority from taking action that is opposed by the majority of the society. This is needed in large societies with frequent meetings and small quorums, the attendance in many cases not exceeding ten percent of the membership. It enables a society with a small quorum to protect itself from injudicious action by temporary majorities, without requiring previous notice of main motions and amendments as is done in the English Parliament. To accomplish this, however, it is necessary to allow this form of the motion to be applied to a vote finally disposing of a main motion, regardless of the fact that the motion to reconsider has already been made. Otherwise it would be useless, as it would generally be forestalled by the motion to reconsider, in its simple form, which would be voted down, and then this motion could not be made. As this form of the motion is designed only to be used when the meeting is an unrepresentative one, this fact should be very apparent, and some members of the temporary minority should vote with the temporary majority on adopting or postponing indefinitely a main motion of importance, when they think the action is in opposition to the wishes of the great majority of the society. One of them should then move to reconsider the vote on the resolution [or motion] and have it [or, request that it be] entered on the minutes, which has the effect of suspending all action required by the vote it is proposed to reconsider, as previously explained, and thus gives time to notify absent members of the proposed action. If no member of the temporary minority voted with the majority, and it is too late for any one to change his vote so as to move to reconsider, then some one should give notice of a motion to rescind the objectionable vote at the next meeting, which may be done by a majority vote after this notice has been given.
Should a minority make an improper use of this form of the motion to reconsider by applying it to a vote which required action before the next regular business meeting, the remedy is at once to vote that when the assembly adjourns it adjourns to meet on another day, appointing a suitable day, when the reconsideration could be called up and disposed of. The mere making of this motion would probably cause the withdrawal of the motion to reconsider, as it would defeat the object of that motion if the majority of the society is in favor of the motion to be reconsidered. If the motion to reconsider is withdrawn, of course the other would be.
This form of the motion to reconsider and have entered on the minutes differs from the simple form to reconsider in the following respects:
(1) It can be made only on the day the vote to be reconsidered is taken. If a meeting is held on the next day the simple form of the motion to reconsider, made then, accomplishes the object of this motion by bringing the question before the assembly on a different day from the one when the vote was taken.
(2) It outranks the simple form of the motion to reconsider, and may be made even after the vote has been taken on the motion to reconsider, provided the result of the vote has not been announced. If made after the simple form of the motion to reconsider, it supersedes the latter, which is thereafter ignored.
(3) It can be applied only to votes which finally dispose of the main question. They are as follows: an affirmative or negative vote on adopting, and an affirmative vote on postponing indefinitely, a main question. And it may be applied to a negative vote on the consideration of a question that has been objected to, provided the session extends beyond that day.
(4) In an assembly not having regular business meetings as often as quarterly, it cannot be moved at the last business meeting of a session.
(5) It cannot be called up on the day it is made, except when it is moved on the last day of a session of an assembly not having regular business sessions as often as quarterly, when any one can call it up at the last business meeting of the session.
After it is called up there is no difference in the treatment of the two forms of the motion.
Note 30.
H. R. Rule 18, §1, is as follows: 1. When a motion has been made and carried, or lost, it shall be in order for any member of the majority, on the same or succeeding day, to move for the reconsideration thereof, and such motion shall take precedence of all other questions except the consideration of a conference report or a motion to adjourn, and shall not be withdrawn after the said succeeding day without the consent of the House, and thereafter any member may call it up for consideration:
That such motion, if made during the last six days of a session. shall be disposed of when made. This rule is construed to mean that the motion to reconsider may be made by any member who voted on the question, except when the yeas and nays were ordered to be recorded in the journal, which is done, however, with every important vote. [
Note 31.
In Congress it is usual for the member in charge of an important bill as soon as it is passed to move its reconsideration, and at the same time to move that the reconsideration be laid on the table. If the latter motion is adopted the reconsideration is dead and the bill is in the same condition as if the reconsideration had been voted on and lost. These Rules, like the common parliamentary law, carry the bill to the table, from which it could be taken at any time. [See note, p. 155.] Unless there is a special rule allowing it, the two motions could not be made at the same time in an ordinary society. [
Note 32.
In Congress the effect always terminates with the session, and it cannot be called up by any one but the mover, until the expiration of the time during which it will be in order to move a reconsideration. [
Note 33.
In Congress, where the quorum is a majority of the members elected, and the members are paid for their services, there is no need for this form of the motion. On the contrary, it has been found necessary to provide means by which the majority may, when it pleases, prevent the making of the motion to re-consider by any one except the member in charge of the measure.

Autodesk Strives for Consistency, Cloud-Centricity in 2013 Product Lineup19 Apr, 2012 By: Cyrena Respini-Irwin
Updated components for AEC, manufacturing, and entertainment suites are integrated with each other — and with the Autodesk 360 cloud computing platform.
"We will not be working — any of us — in the way that we worked five years ago." That bold assertion is Autodesk President and CEO Carl Bass's take on the impact of cloud technology, which he considers a watershed "much bigger than the shift to PCs, much bigger than the shift from DOS to Windows."
At the company's 2012 Media Summit last month in San Francisco, Bass told the audience in no uncertain terms that cloud, mobile, and social technologies are reshaping design workflows. "We're moving to a world where the computing center of the world is really where you are ... I'll never [again] be in the position of saying 'I'll email you those files when I get back to the office.'"
The summit coincided with the launch of Autodesk's 2013 software portfolio. The seven 2013 design and creation suites feature expanded toolsets, automated industry-specific workflows, and toolbars that connect users to the Autodesk 360 cloud computing platform.
Cloud and mobile technologies have made a big splash in the CAD market in a short amount of time. According to Bass, in its 28 years of operation, Autodesk has totaled 12 million paid users of its professional products; by contrast, AutoCAD WS, a cloud-based CAD editing app, has already racked up 7 million users — in less than two years. "It's an unbelievable amount of usage … and I still think we're really at the beginning," said Bass.

This impact is not limited to design professionals; consumers are benefiting from the democratization of design technologies enabled by the cloud. Autodesk is actively courting that market, and for good reason: There are far more makers, hobbyists, and casual designers in the world than professional CAD users. The company's SketchBook Mobile drawing app for iOS- and Android-powered devices has been downloaded 10 million times in the two years since its introduction. Instructables, the online do-it-yourself community that Autodesk purchased last year, garners 13 million unique visitors per month. "It's a new group of users who are interested in creating things, who are interested in being imaginative and creative," said Bass.
The 2013 Portfolio: More Consistency, More Cloud Options
After Autodesk introduced its product suites last year, they earned the company nearly $600 million, said Amar Hanspal, senior vice-president, Information Modeling & Platform Products Group, and the company is continuing with the software-bundling model this year. "No single product can do what [our customers] are looking to do ... [they] need a cohesive range of products that can work together," said Hanspal. He explained that Autodesk's goal is a "cohesive and cloud-centric" product line, with "cloud" being shorthand for cloud, mobile, and social technologies all working together.
This year's suites feature customizable, one-click workflows and improved interoperability, making it easier to connect design and visualization tasks, and to reuse and share designs. In addition, the 2013 suites are designed to provide a consistent user experience across the software in the suite and in Autodesk 360, which enables users to store files, share designs, and access additional computing power from any location.
Autodesk 360 now offers access to cloud services for rendering, simulation, design optimization, and energy analysis. Subscription customers now receive to 25 GB of storage and between 100 and 500 Autodesk Cloud Units (the credits used to purchase cloud services) per user, depending on the suite level.
Simulation and PLM in the cloud. Cloud power and scalability promises speed and savings for users performing simulation, rendering, and other intermittent, compute-intensive tasks. "What would you do differently if you could compute answers infinitely faster?" Bass asked.
Scott Reese, senior director, Digital Simulation, explained that Autodesk is attempting to break down the primary barriers to simulation: ease of use, computing power, and total cost of ownership. ForceEffect, a mobile app that Autodesk launched three months ago, enables users of all types to explore engineering problems at the highest level. "ForceEffect is smashing the ease of use barrier," said Reese. "[It] helps customers explore what's possible, and gives engineers a simple tool to evaluate their concept."
According to Reese, the key to overcoming the remaining barriers — hardware requirements and financial outlay — lies in the cloud. Simulation 360 enables users to move from an ownership model to an access model, where they can pay as they go and conduct any type of simulation, regardless of their in-house hardware infrastructure. "We believe [Simulation 360] will revolutionize the entire simulation space," said Reese.
Autodesk also touts lower cost as a benefit of 360 Nexus, the cloud-based PLM solution it announced last year (read more in Cadalyst's report on Autodesk University 2011). To prove that point, Buzz Kross, senior vice-president of Design, Lifecycle & Simulation, did the math comparing the costs of a traditional PLM system (about $5 million) with 360 Nexus (about $280,000). Kross stressed that the cloud-based option also provides time savings, since there's no deployment time and it's accessible from any location.
Expanded Suites and App Offerings
To form its industry-specific suites, Autodesk bundles primary design and creation software (such as AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, AutoCAD Civil 3D, 3ds Max, and Maya) with cloud services and an expanded toolset of complementary software relevant to a particular field. As with the 2012 versions, the suites are available in Standard, Premium, and Ultimate configurations, with the price increasing along with the number of included applications. "AutoCAD isn't in just a few suites, it's in every suite," explained Hanspal.
The 2013 family of Autodesk design suites includes:
- AutoCAD Design Suite
- Autodesk Building Design Suite
- Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suite
- Autodesk Factory Design Suite
- Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite
- Autodesk Plant Design Suite
- Autodesk Product Design Suite.
The Autodesk Design Suite was renamed the AutoCAD Design Suite this year, a move to "help people identify this really is just an extension of AutoCAD," said Charlie Crocker, senior product line manager, AutoCAD Family. "[It's] a powerful way you can extend what you already know about AutoCAD [and] expand the workflow you can support with AutoCAD." All levels of this suite now include AutoCAD Raster Design software, which Crocker called "a huge value to an AutoCAD user." He explained that Raster Design would cost $2,000 if purchased separately, whereas upgrading to the suite costs only an additional $500 for those on a current AutoCAD subscription.
The Building Design Suite updates include the addition of Autodesk Revit 2013 software to the Premium and Ultimate editions; Autodesk Navisworks Simulate 2013 software to the Premium edition; and Autodesk Infrastructure Modeler 2013 and Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional 2013 software for the Ultimate edition.
Like its kin, the updated Plant Design Suite also features an expanded toolset, automated workflows, and access to Autodesk 360 services. Ian Matthew, technical marketing manager, Plant Solutions, explained that 360 enables widely dispersed teams — common in the oil and gas industry — to work closely together, despite their geographic separation.
Alan Saunders, global industry manager, Utilities, noted that more utilities are embracing intelligent modeling, and the Infrastructure Design Suite now offers complete model-based design for electric distribution. The suite is designed to "integrate CAD and GIS data into a single cohesive world," he explained, and to help users visualize existing and designed data in 3D. The Infrastructure Design Suite also features the addition of AutoCAD Raster Design software at all levels.
The Product Design Suite now includes Inventor at the Standard level. "Our intent is to make it the de facto standard, so everyone starts at that level in the design process," said Stephen Hooper, senior product manager for the Product Design Suite. Daniel Graham, product marketing manager, explained that users can move 2D data prepared on a mobile device directly into a 3D Inventor environment and build on it top of it. "[It's a] focus on not having to start over, not starting from scratch in the different design environments," said Graham.
The Autodesk Exchange Apps store now comprises more than 200 apps for multiple products, said Hanspal, including Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Inventor, and Autodesk 3ds Max software. Customers will now be able to access Exchange Apps directly (via the web) and from within Autodesk products.

(Centering a dynamically-generated list of varyingly-lengthed items within a circle was tougher than I expected; it's achieved with Javascript, probably rather clunkily. I thought
Nike WMNS Classic Cortez Nylon Women's Trainers Bianco cptr6
by Noam Rosenthal might help but couldn't make it work.)
Completing the homepage's welcome area is the introductory video. In researching competing nurseries' websites we decided we liked these; a video needn't be sleek nor even professional to serve as a strong and helpful introduction — just competent and heartfelt.
Penina had many photos languishing in various drives and devices that she'd been wanting to put to use. I introduced her to the Ken Burns Effect, which gives some motion to stills within video, and she was off! She created a collection of images that introduced the nursery, wrote a text to accompany them, recorded her narration, sourced some background music, and handed it all over to me to mix together.
I'm no videographer, and the panning and zooming is merely an automatic effect rather than compositions in motion, but after capping it all with a musical number — a delightful violin recital from Vivaldi's Four Seasons by a visiting parent — the video serves as rather a nice introduction.
The second and final feature on the homepage is Work of the Week. Hanging in the nursery hallway is a square noticeboard that Penina populates with drawings and artworks made by the kids and with post-it notes announcing their good deeds. It seemed an obvious candidate for displaying on the web site, demonstrating that the kids' undertakings are taken seriously and keeping the website fresh with recent material.
So the digitized version of Work of the Week displays a photo of the noticeboard, individual works magnifying when hovered over (using the ElevateZoom jQuery plugin by Elevate Web Design), and an explanatory list of the works to the left and of the mitzvahs to the right. It's all set off by a bright bubbly background in the site's yellow and orange colors.
I like that we're leveraging content already being created offline anyway that would otherwise be lost (not to mention craftily harnessing the little inmates to do the heavy lifting), and that we're emphasizing both the Montessori (works) and Jewish ( mitzvot ) characters of the nursery.
One typographical detail is a tiny outline around the text of the sub-headers so that the polka-dots of the background don't quite touch the letters. Also, the noticeboard image's height can vary to accommodate the table below the noticeboard when it's displaying items such as paper models.
After sufficient Work of the Week entries have been entered in the content management system we'll probably convert this area into a slideshow so that site visitors can swipe back and forth in time.

Recently I starting working in the Backbone.js framework which has dependency on the Underscore.js framework. Underscore is a JavaScript utility library with many useful functions to handle common programming use cases.
I decided it would be a good idea to spend some time discovering what all the framework has to offer those within and outside of Backbone. In this blog, I discuss some of the more useful functions I have found inside of Underscore.
You can use
to make more easily readable loops. Here is a common way to loop through an array in JavaScript:
Using underscore's
, we can make this much more readable, mainly as you are not having to use access the items of the array with the index.
is similar, but returns an array built from the outputs of the function.
This does what you can probably guess by its name: filters a collection. It loops through a collection and returns an array of entries that return true for a truth test.
This is a very simple way to loop a specific number of times.
This is a convenient way for pulling out a list of property values from a list of objects.
A fairly common task in coding might be getting a list of names from a collection of people objects. Here is a way of doing this in JavaScript:
This can be simplified with Underscore to:
This can used to find a single object from a collection that matches the given key-value pairs. First I'll write something similar using just JavaScript:
Now see it simplified with Underscore:
Not only is the code more simple to write, but notice how much more apparent it is to the reader what the code is actually trying to accomplish.
is similar to
, but will return an array of all matching entries instead of just the first one found.
Sorting collections by property name can done with
Backbone leverages its dependency on Underscore so that Backbone collections can inherently use many of the underscore iteration functions such as
, etc. These prove quite useful and powerful when dealing with large data collections.
There are multiple type checking methods and are super simple to read and understand that can come in handy.

Database tables may relate to each other using 1:1, 1:N, or N:M relations. If you are new to database relations, it's a good idea to catch up before we discus ORM specifics. Here are random links discussing relations in general.
In greenDAO, entities relate using to-one or to-many relations. For example, if you want to model a 1:n relation in greenDAO, you will have a to-one and a to-many relation. However, note that the to-one and a to-many relations are not connected with each other, so you will have to update both.
The @ToOne annotation definesa relation to another entity (one entity object). Apply it to the property holding the other entity object.@ToOne
Internally, greenDAO needs an additional property pointing to the IDof the target entity, which is specified by the joinProperty parameter.If this parameter is absent, then an additional column is automatically created to hold the key.joinProperty
The getter-methods of to-one relations (in this example getCustomer ( ) ) resolve the target entity lazily on their first call. Subsequent calls will return the previously resolved object immediately.resolve the target entity lazily
Note that if you change the foreign key property (here customerId ), the next call to the getter ( getCustomer ( ) ) will resolve the entity for the updated ID.
Also, if you set a new entity ( setCustomer ( ) ), the foreign key property ( customerId ) will be updated as well.
Note: To eagerly load to-one relations use loadDeep ( ) and queryDeep ( ) of the entity DAO class. This will resolve an entity with all to-one relations with a single database query. This is great for performance if you always access the related entities.To eagerly load to-one relations
@ToMany defines a relation to a set of other entities (multiple entity objects). Apply this to the property representing a List of target entities. The referenced entity must have one or more properties pointing to the entity owning the @ToMany.@ToMany
There are three possibilities to specify the relation mapping, use one of them only:use one of them

GEORGE COUNTY, MS (WLOX) - A stolen GMC Yukon SUV has been found thanks to a man who was simply scanning land he hunted on using Google Earth.
According to Sheriff Dean Howell, that SUV was reported stolen in March of this year. The victim told investigators it was stolen from a convenience store off of Highway 26 West.
Howell said the man, who spotted the SUV, was initially checking out the terrain that he hunted on with Google Earth. On the map he discovered what looked like an illegal shooting house.
That's when he decided to see for himself. He and his son actually walked up to the exact area where he spotted the image. Using coordinates on his GPS, they found the SUV tucked far back in the woods and covered in brush.
Howell said there was an old logging road, which the thief or thieves might have used to park the SUV there. However, the road is overgrown with brush.
The help of George County Board of Supervisors were enlisted to bring in heavy equipment to access the SUV and remove it. District 4 Supervisor Larry Havard and his crew helped to pull out the SUV.
If you have any information on the theft of this vehicle please contact the George County Sheriff's Office or MS Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-877-787-5898. All tips are anonymous.

Lackey hurls Sox into the playoffsThe Sports Xchange
September 19. 2013 10:59PM
BOSTON — John Lackey fired a two-hitter, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-1 Thursday at Fenway Park to clinch a playoff berth.
Boston is assured of at least a wild card. The Red Sox's magic number for clinching the American League East championship was two pending the result of the second-place Tampa Bay Rays' game against the Texas Rangers.
The Red Sox, who avoided a sweep in the three-game series, will be in the postseason for the first time since 2009.
Lackey had a no-hitter through 6 1/3 innings, but Baltimore's first hit wasn't a cheapie. Adam Jones clubbed an 0-1 pitch over the Green Monster.
Baltimore's only other hit was J.J. Hardy's eighth-inning single.
Lackey (10-12) threw his first nine-inning complete game of the season, finishing with two walks and eight strikeouts.
The longest Lackey took a no-hitter was 8 1/3 innings for the Los Angeles Angels against the Red Sox on July 29, 2008, at Fenway Park, when Dustin Pedroia's single broke up his bid. Before Jones' home run, he had allowed two baserunners, on two-out walks to Brian Roberts in the third and Nate McLouth in the sixth.
Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman (16-7) went seven innings, giving up three runs on seven hits and two walks with eight strikeouts.
The Red Sox took a three-run lead in the second. Stephen Drew hit a two-run homer over the Green Monster, driving in Jarrrod Saltalamacchia, who led off the inning with a double. Jackie Bradley Jr. doubled and scored on Dustin Pedroia's single.
NOTES: Orioles RHP Darren O'Day returned to action for the first time since Sept. 7, retiring one batter in the eighth inning. He was sidelined because of numbness in two fingers of his right hand. ... O's manager Buck Showalter is deciding between RHPs Miguel Gonzalez and Bud Norris for the Saturday start at Tampa Bay. Gonzalez left Sunday's game in Toronto with a strained right groin, and Norris missed a start due to tightness in his right elbow. ... Sox RF Shane Victorino did not play. He left Wednesday's game for a pinch hitter in the 12th inning.
Manager John Farrell said Victorino, who has been dealing with a jammed right thumb, is considered day-to-day. ... Boston CF Jacoby Ellsbury has not yet begun baseball activities as he rehabs the fractured navicular bone in his right foot, an injury that occurred when he fouled off a ball off the foot Aug. 28. He continued playing but has not appeared in a game since Sept. 5. There is no timetable for his return.


text: RIFLEMAN • DAVE ANDERSON • KING QUARTER BORE The .257 Weatherby. he .257 Weatherby is a remarkable cartridge. In its particular T niche it has few rivals, and no equals. It has an incredibly flat trajectory with the bullet weight, diameter and retained velocity to hit hard even at long range. And it does so with moderate recoil. It wouldn't be my first choice for moose or elk, but if I was going after either, and a .257 Wby was what I had, I for dang sure wouldn't stay home. It might be a little light for really big animals but for whitetail or mule deer, pronghorns or many of the smaller African antelope species, it has the ability to reach out like nothing else. A few cartridges come close (such as the .25-06 Rem and .264 Win Mag) but considering the whole package— trajectory, power, recoil—the .257 Weatherby brings more to the table than anything I can name. The cartridge is one of the Weatherby originals, dating to 1945, yet is still on the cutting edge of performance. Finally after 65 years the .257 is getting the recognition it deserves. For decades the .257 Wby was available only in the upscale (and rather pricey) Mk V rifles, limiting its popularity. A few years ago Weatherby began offering it in the popular Vanguard. The synthetic-stocked Vanguard currently retails at around $399. The Vanguard is one of the bestmade and most accurate production rifles available at any cost. At $399 it is simply an incredible value. Maybe the last factor holding back potential buyers was the price of ammunition. Weatherby ammunition is loaded by Norma of Sweden. Many of the loads use premium American-brand bullets from Barnes, Hornady and Nosler. Buying and shipping bullets to Sweden, having them loaded and shipped back, adds to the cost. These are excellent bullets, obviously, but Norma makes good bullets too. Recently Weatherby announced new loads for the .257 and .300 Wby Magnums, loaded with Norma bullets. Not only does this save shipping and inventory costs, it means Norma can run off a batch of loads whenever the workload permits rather than waiting for bullets to be delivered. Weatherby is buying in bulk to get a price break, plus I suspect they have cut their profit margin to the bone. The result is Weatherby ammunition in these two calibers costs $39 per box rather than the $59 to $79 per box for the premiumbullet loads. This is the lowest price for VANGUARD SUB MOA MAKER: HOwA MACHINERY LTD 1900-1 SUKAGUCHI, KIYOSU, AICHI, 452-8601 jAPAN www.HOwA.CO.jP IMPORTER: wEATHERBY, INC. 1605 COMMERCE wAY PASO ROBLES, CA 93446 (805) 227-2600, www.wEATHERBY.COM ACTION: Bolt action CALIBER: .257 Weatherby Magnum (tested, 15 others) BARREL LENGTH: 24" CAPACITY: 3+1 OVERALL LENGTH: 44" wEIGHT: 7-1/2 pounds STOCK: Fiberguard composite, pillar bedded PRICE: $999 Weatherby ammunition since 1982. The Norma bullet used is a cup-andcore spitzer design intended for light to medium game. Another new load in .257 has an 80-grain Barnes TTSX at a smoking 3,870 fps muzzle velocity. This is in a 26" barrel. I chronographed 20 rounds from the 24" barrel of a Vanguard and got an average of 3,860 fps. I keep hearing how the .257 Wby "needs" a 26" barrel. Well, the .257 will give higher velocities in a 26" barrel. So will a .25-06 or .270 for that matter, and a 28" barrel will shoot even faster. But velocities from a 24" barrel are perfectly adequate, the rifle is a bit shorter and handier, and the Vanguard in my experience is not only much cheaper than the Mark V, it is often more accurate.

Music Twitterings Hither and Yon
Woke up yesterday and groaned at Pitchfork's top albums, unsurprising since they lost all credibility with The Knife in 2006. Read about the recording industry's strange new stance on downloading, which is to rely on Internet providers to do their dirty work for them. Was amused at the Phoenix Theater announcing the banning of hyphy shows, which is a brilliant maneuver, on par with announcing the banning of raves.
Flipped on the radio for Face the Music with Scott Mitchell and Frank Hayhurst, on KRSH. Laughed at the end of the show, when Frank presented Scott with a golden kazoo, since, alas, Scott is headed over to BOB-FM and will soon be replaced by Brian Griffith as the morning guy on the KRSH. Brian'll be good and Scott's been good, but man. I still miss Doug Smith.
Went to the downtown Post Office, where the holiday season has brought radio privileges for the counter staff. Was glad that instead of "Wonderful Christmastime" or "Do They Know It's Christmas?", the clerks were stamping packages to "A Simple Twist of Fate," by Bob Dylan. Dodged a car driving by playing the Youngbloodz-Procol Harum portion of Girl Talk's Feed the Animals.
Got to work and read this wonderful piece of writing, regarding Leon Russell, by my friend John Beck. Felt the best kind of jealousy—I suspect that John is much more bound to editorial direction than myself, occasionally forced to write about music that he can't personally get that excited about, and I love examining how he navigates total cowshit and turns it time and again into flowers. He's good at it.
Read about the heavy metal singer who stabbed her guitarist for messing up a solo. Downloaded DJ Malarkey's new Holiday mix to listen to while scouring club listings for New Years' Eve information. Came across this lovely Christmas video of a drunk family partying their asses off around the tree, circa 1962, set to June Christy's "The Merriest":
(If you're looking for a fantastic jazzy album of non-religious Christmas originals, call your local record store and pick up June Christy's This Time of Year, just reissued a couple years ago.)
Had lunch at Hang Ah Dim Sum with the Love Level crew. Thought about Chinese opera and talked about Darker than Blue: Soul From Jamdown. Was reminded, by Mark and Gary, about KOME-FM and their street-sign stickers. Chatted about Backdoor Records. Thought about the late KPLS-FM and their even later cowboy-hat VW Bug.
Came back to work and gawked at the amazing Kate Wolf Festival 2009 lineup, with Emmylou Harris, Dave Alvin, Richard Thompson, Patty Griffin, Mavis Staples, and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Wrote a little bit about Adam Theis and his upcoming SFJAZZ show, whose excellent Spring season was also announced this week: McCoy Tyner, Allen Toussaint, Bill Frisell, Kenny Barron, James Carter, Tinariwen, Roy Hargrove, Chris Potter, Brad Mehldau, Mariza, Kenny Burrell, Michael Feinstein and Branford Marsalis, among others.
Went to dinner at Fitch Mountain Eddie's with my dad, where Richelle Hart and John Youngblood performed songs like "Summertime" and "Women Be Wise." Talked a lot of shit about Ticketmaster, only to have the guy at the next table introduce himself as a guy who works for Ticketmaster. Wished him luck with that whole massive-debt-and-getting-dumped-by-Live-Nation thing.
Then: headed to the Raven Theater for the Bobs, who were as entertaining and awe-inspiring as they were when I last saw them at the Raven Theater in 1989. Was billed as the "Sleigh Bobs Ring" holiday show, containing plenty of Christmas numbers—"Christmas in L.A.," "Christmas in Jail," and an insane new song sung from the point of view of the Virgin Mary, "What Is This Thing Inside Me?"
Old chestnuts were dusted off, like "My, I'm Large" and "Boy Around the Corner," and all the new ones like "Get Your Monkey off My Dog," "Title of the Song," "Imaginary Tuba" sounded great. Closed with "Christmastime is Here," which I'm glad is becoming a holiday classic. Haven't paid much attention to the Bobs in the last 20 years, but I was simultaneously buckled over with laugher, googly-eyed with amazement, and heartened that they still hang out in the lobby afterwards, chatting with all their weird fans. Thanks for keeping it up, guys.
Came home and listened to Booker Ervin, Madlib, No Age and Lucy Ann Polk. (Not Van Morrison, like grouchy Joel Selvin.) Wondered if real life was more important than music, or if the two are actually the same thing. Opted for the latter. Did the dishes and hummed Frank Sinatra. Went to bed.

I don't think anyone would call Method Man a versatile actor. If you look down his list of movie credits you've pretty much either got serious cool urban guy or funny cool urban guy. Not that that's a bad thing. I've enjoyed most of his work and I'm fairly certain I'm one of ten people who saw "How High" in theaters opening weekend. The guys a good actor and he's always fun to watch. But put him in a role where he's monotone, stays cooped up in his house and pretty much tries to avoid human contact, will it work? The answer after watching "The Mortician", and by no fault of Mr.
Method Man has a pocket watch. Your argument is invalid. Bonus points go to the PR company for using the phrase "Urban Thriller". I appreciate when a company goes out of its way to let me know I shouldn't watch a movie. Helps with time management. (click to enlarge)
A boat load of new clips and interviews have popped up on the tubes for the upcoming flick "The Mortician 3D" starring the one and only Method Man as a Mortician. Because when you're putting together a cast you want to get some or all of the Wu-Tang Clan. Puffy is good, but Wu-Tang is better, Wu-Tang is for the children. If you get the reference you're my new best friend.
DJ Caruso, who directed "Eagle Eye", "Disturbia" and "The Salton Sea" has officially signed up to directed "Preacher", a big screen adaptation of the one graphic novel I've read in my lifetime. This of course means it's my favorite graphic novel of all time so I'm super pumped about this. Yeah pictures!
If you're unfortunate enough to have seen "Knightriders" then you probably can't see Tom Savini without having awful flashbacks of him in a Speedo. Well get ready to have a seizure because there's a new documentary coming out focusing on the hairy F/X one titled "Smoke and Mirrors". To get the flash backs going the doc has a new trailer up on the nets, welcome to hell my friends.
Here's a new clip from "Battle: Los Angeles" which reiterated a point I've been making for years. Never trust dogs, ever. Or any animal really. I've got a pet turtle and I would shoot that thing in the face the second I think it's turning on me. You hear me Boxy?! You're nothing!
Columbia Pictures has announced that "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance 3D" will hit theaters on February 17, 2012. I haven't received any sort of official memo from my office but I assume we'll be closed for the day in honor of this glorious event. Unless of course you're not going to see it in 3D, you only get a long lunch break then.
A gaggle full of new "Troll Hunter" clips have found their way online and they're full of troll goodness. For those of you not familiar with the film just think "The Blair Witch Project" but with trolls and without all the snot. Upgrade!
Elle Fanning and Kyle Chandler are the first two cast members to be confirmed in the J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg collaboration flick "Super 8". The film is rumored to be about a group of kids who film their high jinks on a super 8 camera in the 70's only to discover an alien in the film years later. I wonder if the same thing will happen 30 years from now when I finally watch my wedding video.
Some new stills of the new film "The Mortician" staring the one and only Method Man have been released. Did I mentioned the film is going to be in 3D? It's really implied at this point but I thought you'd be excited to know that you're going to get to see Method Man jump out of the screen and into your lap. Sinner.

Building LinuxBIOS
From OLPC
Warnings and Disclaimers
These instructions are new and subject to change. No assurance is made that this won't permanently harm your hardware. If you don't understand any of these steps, please stop and ask for clarification on the mailing lists or in IRC. You have now been officially warned.
During boot, LinuxBIOS loads a small payload that consists of a minimal kernel and an initramfs image. We refer to this payload as the "ROM image". The ROM image is responsible for bringing up the system enough to try to load a full kernel from the NAND flash, a USB mass storage device, or the network. Buildrom is a small set of build scripts that facilitiates building the bootloader and ROM image (including the kernel and all the different utilities and scripts that make up the initramfs image). If you understand buildroot (from the uclibc team), then buildrom will look familiar - it is based on the same concept.
Buildrom is a GNU Make based build system. Using a series of configuration files, the makefile will determine what packages need to be built. Each package is obtained from an upstream repository with wget and built locally on your machine. When all the packages have been built, the script pulls together all the binaries for the ROM image, and combines them into a .ELF file which is then used as the payload to build a LinuxBIOS ROM.
Update - buildrom now builds ROM images for the SPI flash by default. You don't need to change anything from the default configuration.
Getting buildrom
Buildrom is available from the OLPC GIT repository on http://dev.laptop.org. After installing git, run:
$ git clone git://dev.laptop.org/users/jcrouse/buildrom
This will make a copy of the tree in a folder called 'buildrom'. From time to time, you will want to make sure you are synced with the tree:
$ cd buildrom; git pull
Building the image
Buildrom requires the following tools on your development system to run:
To build the default image, just type
$ make
You will notice that the system will start downloading packages from the web with wget, and compiling them. If you are behind a proxy, don't forget to set http_proxy before starting.
$ export http_proxy=<proxyurl>:<proxyport>
Note that there is also one package (LinuxBIOS) that will be pulled down with SVN. If you have proxy worries, make sure your local SVN environment is correctly setup.
Buildrom already sets all the important flags and other settings to build the tools and libraries so they can be included into the ROM. There are several configuration options you can play with once you are more familar with the system. Check Config.mk and read the comments.
Using the Image
When the system is done building, you will have three files in the deploy/ directory:
The most important deliverable is the 1MB ROM image:

Eye disorders that affect vision can be divided into two groups, including the following:
Refractive errors. Refractive errors are eye disorders in which the shape of the eye does not refract the light that enters the eye properly, resulting in blurred vision.
Nonrefractive errors. Nonrefractive errors are eye disorders that are not caused by refractive errors; rather, they are caused by eye diseases.
Refractive errors are seen in almost 20 percent of children. The following are the most common refractive errors, all of which affect vision:
Myopia or "nearsightedness." Myopia is the most common refractive error seen in children. Myopia means that a child can see close up, but has problems with seeing things far away. It is usually not present at birth, but begins to develop as the child gets older. It is usually noted in children around the ages of nine or 10. This might be noted in a child that cannot read the blackboard from the back of the room, but can see to write and read without a problem. Other signs and symptoms may include headaches, nausea after reading, holding books close to one's face, or writing with one's head very close to the table.
Hyperopia or "farsightedness." Hyperopia is one type of refractive error in which the child might or might not see things close to him or her, but he or she does not have a problem seeing things far away. Squinting, eye rubbing, lack of interest in school, and difficulty in reading may be seen in children with hyperopia. This condition is uncommon in children.
Astigmatism. Astigmatism is one type of visual condition in which an abnormal curvature of the cornea occurs, resulting in decreased vision. This can start in childhood or as an adult and can be easily corrected if it is causing problems. Some signs and symptoms of astigmatism may include headache, eye strain, difficulty reading, and fatigue. Depending upon the severity, eyeglasses or contact lenses may be required.
Amblyopia or "lazy eye." Amblyopia is a common type of visual condition that can happen even when there is no problem with the structure of the eye. The decrease in vision occurs when one or both eyes send a blurry image to the brain. Then the brain learns to see only blurry with that eye. Better treatment success is achieved when treatment is started early.
Strabismus or "crossed-eyes." Strabismus is one of the most common eye problems in children in which the eyes are misaligned. The eyes (one or both) may turn inward, outward, turn up, or turn down. At times, more than one of these conditions are present. Strabismus is also called "wandering eye" or "crossed-eyes." Children younger than six months of age may have a common form of strabismus that comes and goes. This type of strabismus may be normal. Most strabismus is caused by abnormality of neuromuscular (including brain) control of eye movement. Strabismus as a result of poor muscle strength in the eye is less common.
The signs and symptoms of strabismus may include a child squinting his or her eyes, a child that cannot properly judge distance to pick up objects, a child that closes one eye to see better, dizziness, or the child's eyes move inward or outward. Early diagnosis of the underlying problem is essential in order to prevent vision loss. Treatment of strabismus may include patching the stronger eye in order to increase the strength in the weaker eye, eyeglasses, eyedrops, surgery to straighten the eyes, or eye exercises.
The following are some causes of nonrefractive errors:
Glaucoma. Glaucoma is a condition in which the normal fluid pressure inside the eyes (intraocular pressure, or IOP) slowly rises as a result of the fluid aqueous humor--which normally flows in and out of the eye--not being able to drain properly. Instead, the fluid collects and causes pressure damage to the optic nerve (a bundle of more than 1 million nerve fibers that connects the retina with the brain) and loss of vision. Glaucoma is classified according to the age of onset. Glaucoma that begins before the child is three years old is called infantile or congenital (present at birth) glaucoma. Glaucoma that occurs in a child is called childhood glaucoma.
Signs and symptoms of glaucoma may include excessive tearing, light sensitivity (photophobia), closure of one or both eyes in the light, cloudy, enlarged cornea, one eye may be larger than the other, and vision loss. Treatment of glaucoma usually involves surgery. Without treatment, blindness may occur.
Cataract. A cataract is a clouding or opaque area over the lens of the eye--an area that is normally transparent. As this thickening occurs, it prevents light rays from passing through the lens and focusing on the retina--the light sensitive tissue lining located in the back of the eye. This clouding is caused when some of the protein which makes up the lens begins to clump together and interferes with vision. Cataracts can affect either one eye (unilateral) or both eyes (bilateral). Cataracts in children are uncommon.
A child may be born with the disease (congenital), or it may develop later in life (acquired). Possible causes of cataracts include the following:
Steroid use
Other childhood diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis
Complications from other eye diseases, such as glaucoma
The majority of congenital cataracts (those present at birth) are present in children who also have other eye problems or other health problems. In approximately 25 percent of children born with congenital cataracts, the condition is due to a genetic cause, such as a metabolic disorder (caused by an inherited enzyme deficiency) or a chromosome abnormality (such as, Down syndrome).
Signs and symptoms of a cataract may include the following:
White pupil upon flashlight examination
Misaligned eyes
Involuntary rhythmic movements of the eyes back and forth, up and down, around, or mixed (nystagmus)
Cloudy or blurry vision
Decreased vision
Lights appear too bright and/or present a glare or a surrounding halo
Treatment of cataracts usually involves surgery.
Retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma is a rare cancer of the retina. The retina is the innermost layer of the eye, located at the back of the eye, that receives light and images necessary for vision. About 250 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with this type of cancer each year. It mostly occurs in children under the age of five; the highest incidence of the disease occurs between infancy and age two. Both males and females are affected equally. Retinoblastoma can occur in either eye; however, in about 25 to 30 percent of the cases, the tumor is present in both eyes.
Signs and symptoms of retinoblastoma may include:
Leukocoria. A white light reflex that occurs at certain angles when light is shown into the pupil.
Strabismus (also called "wandering eye" or "crossed-eyes"). A misalignment of the eyes; when one or both eyes do not appear to be "looking" in the same direction.
Pain, swelling, or redness around the eye(s)
Treatment for retinoblastoma may include one, or more, of the following:
Surgery (removal of the eyeball which may be followed up with an artificial eye implant)
Heat treatment (uses extreme heat directed toward cancer cells)
Radiation therapy
Laser therapy (uses light to destroy the blood vessels that nourish the tumor)
Cryotherapy (uses a freezing process to destroy the tumor)
Additional follow-up treatments may include one or more of the following:
Fitting and training for a prosthesis (artificial eye)
Blind or decreased vision adaptation training
Supportive care (for the side effects of treatment)
Antibiotics (to prevent or treat infection)

Auriemma, five coaches honored by Coaches Hall
The Montgomery County Coaches Hall of Fame welcomed in five new members and honored the University of Connecticut women's basketball head coach and Norristown native Geno Auriemma with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Auriemma, who entered the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006, was inducted into the Montgomery County Coaches Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2005 and joins fellow Norristown native Tom Lasorda as the only two coaches to be honored with both the Lifetime Achievement Award and induction into the Coaches Hall of Fame.
"Any time you get a chance to come home where you grew up, with people that you went to school with and people that you've made great friends with, any time you're honored by a group of people like that, I think it's pretty special," said Auriemma. "It doesn't matter whether it's the first time and the only time or if it happens again."
Throughout his career, Auriemma has amassed an impressive resume, including seven national championships and induction into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, but 2012 has been exceptionally noteworthy. In addition to the Lifetime Achievement Award, Auriemma guided the Huskies to the Final Four for the 13th time and coached the gold medal-winning Team USA women's basketball team at the London Olympics, a feat that Auriemma is still trying to put in perspective in his own mind.
"It doesn't dawn on you beforehand because it's too hard to think about it and once you are over there you are in the middle of it and it is a little bit overwhelming. But once you're done and you get back, you start to think, 'Wow, how many people get an opportunity to do something like that?"' Auriemma said. "The more time goes on, the more I think I will appreciate it."
In addition to honoring Auriemma, former Norristown Area High School Track and Field Coach Ernie Hadrick, North Penn High swimming coach Rick Carroll and softball coach Joan Moser, and Lower Merion High School basketball coaches Gregg Downer and Bill Anderson were inducted into the Montgomery County Coaches Hall of Fame as members of the Class of 2012.
"I think it's probably the biggest thrill that I've had because of the notoriety that the Montgomery County Coaches Hall of Fame has," said Carroll. "When you read through the list of names of people that have been inducted, it's tremendously impressive; overwhelming, in fact."
"It's a very big honor," said Hadrick, echoing Carroll's sentiments. "This organization has done great things, recognizing people over the years. It's just incredible to be selected. I didn't anticipate it."
For Hadrick, the induction closed the circle of his career, as he participated in the Norristown track and field program as a student before returning to the school as a coach after a brief stint at Bishop Kenrick High School in the early 1980s. Hadrick coached the Norristown track and field team from 1986 to 1990 and again from 1997 to 2003. During that time, he coached 11 individual state champions and three relay state champions. He also led the 2001 boys indoor track team to the state championship in a moment that stuck out in Hadrick's mind after reflecting on his career.
"We never really stopped to look at what was happening," Hadrick said. "Winning the States' the one time indoors was something we had never anticipated. It just rolled out on us. We had some exceptional athletes and we were looking more to perform well and do whatever we had to do to perform well."
Leading the same program that he participated in as student was a special honor for Hadrick, who was able to form a unique bond with the athletes because of the local connection.
"It was a huge thing to be able to come back and work in your own community," said Hadrick. "You connected with the kids in a different way."
North Penn coaches Carroll and Moser were contemporaries and both brought unheralded sport success to school.
Moser, who coached field hockey and basketball along with softball, led the softball team to three state titles starting in 1976 when the team went undefeated. She also guided the Maidens to 13 Bux-Mont titles in 17 years and ended her coaching career at the school with 278 wins and was inducted into the Ursinus Hall of Fame in 1987.
"This is especially nice for me because the Hall of Fames that I'm in are for athletes, actually participating in sports," Moser said. "This is a coach's recognition, so that's new to me."
Under Carroll's tutelage, the North Penn swimming team won an astounding 17 consecutive league championships, nine District 1 championships and two state titles while compiling a record of 213-14, including a 69-match winning streak. Carroll had previously been inducted into the Pennsylvania Swimming Hall of Fame.
The induction of Downer and Anderson brought a unique dynamic to the event, as the 346 career wins that Anderson, who passed away in 1962, had accumulated in his career had been the Lower Merion school record for more than 60 years until Downer recorded his 347th win in 2010.
"I never met Bill but I heard so many things about what a great coach he was and to be considered someone in the record books along with a coach of that caliber is a great thing," said Downer, who currently holds a career record of 407-180 and has won two state championships. The Associated Press also named him the Pennsylvania Coach of the Year in 2006.
Although each inductee took a different path to success, all those honored agreed that their success was as much of a reflection of the student-athletes as it was of coaching ability and that working with the athletes is as rewarding as any accoloade.
"I have one kid who never won a race that calls me every year on Father's Day and lets me know how much of a difference was made for him," Hadrick said. "Touching lives the way we touched them, me and the coaches and the community even, was just incredible."
Board members John Pergine, Joe Davis, Tony Leodora and Mike Morsch with honorees Ernie Hadrick, Joan Moser, Rick Carroll and Gregg Downer at Tuesday's Montgomery County Coaches Hall of Fame banquet at the Westover Country Club.

Masters might consider officials with every group
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Rules officials from golf organizations around the world work at the Masters, most of them assigned various parts of the golf course. But it remains the only major championship that doesn't have a rules official walk with every group.
Even more peculiar is that the Masters has the smallest field. With only 93 players this year, there were only 31 groups all four days — threesomes Thursday and Friday, and twosomes Saturday and Sunday for the 61 players who made the cut.
Could that change in light of the ruling involving Tiger Woods?
He took an incorrect drop on the 15th hole after hitting into the water in the second round. Fred Ridley, chairman of the competition committees, responded to a TV viewer calling in the violation and didn't immediately recognize the mistake based on video evidence. It was only after Woods said in an interview he dropped it 2 yards farther back did Ridley review the tape again. Woods was given a two-shot penalty, but not disqualified. Ridley invoked Rule 33-7, which gives the committee discretion not to disqualify. In this case, he felt Augusta erred by not presenting the evidence to Woods before he signed his card.
Ridley would not say if the Masters would have officials will each group next year. That likely would be up to Masters chairman Billy Payne.
"If there's one thing about the Masters tournament ... we look at everything," Ridley said. "And do that with the competition, so we'll be looking at this situation. What could we do in the future? Is there any different processes we could employ? We look at the entire competition every year and try to get better."
Then again, having a walking official doesn't solve every problem.
The U.S. Open had a walking official with every group in 2001 at Southern Hills when Lee Janzen returned Friday morning to complete the first ground. There was dew near his ball, and he wiped off the area with a towel. Only after the round was over was it discovered he violated Rule 13-2 by removing dew in the area behind or to the side of his ball. Janzen signed for an incorrect scorecard, though he was not disqualified because an official was in his room and didn't notice the violation.
It didn't matter. That two-shot penalty caused him to miss the cut.
Golf Digest magazine wrote on its website about the case of Dow Finsterwald in the 1960 Masters, who discovered in the second round he was not allowed to practice putting at the conclusion of a hole. He had done that in the first round, and the Masters committee chose not to disqualify him, instead adding two shots to his score.
Finsterwald, the 1958 PGA champion, was working at Augusta last week, wearing a blue blazer as he officiated from the first hole.
ROOKIE CHANGES: Martin Kaymer is no longer eligible to win rookie of the year on the PGA Tour.
The PGA Tour board voted at its last meeting to change the eligibility. Previously, a player's rookie season was the year he became a member (including special temporary members) and played in at least 10 tournaments as a member. The new regulation stats that new members — such as Kaymer — will not be eligible for the rookie of the year award if they had played in more than seven PGA Tour events as a pro in any previous season.
"There have been cases throughout the years when a highly ranked, veteran player who has not been a PGA Tour member previously has been eligible for the award — a situation that can be confusing for fans and seems to go against the spirit of the award," the tour said in its newsletter to players.
It chose the seven events because that's the limit for sponsor's exemptions for players who are not members.
The most confusing situation was in 2010, when Rickie Fowler won the award over Rory McIlroy, even though McIlroy had the stronger credentials (starting with a victory at Quail Hollow). It was seen as a pro-American vote by the players, although it was confusing because McIlroy had played in all the majors and World Golf Championships the previous year.
Under the new definition, McIlroy would not have been eligible for the award in 2010.
Previous rookie winners have been Trevor Immelman in 2006 and Carlos Franco in 1999. Both won rookie of the year after having played in the Presidents Cup.
BEST WITHOUT A MAJOR: Lee Westwood can officially be considered the best player to have never won a major.
Sergio Garcia is right behind.
Westwood now has played 60 majors without winning, the most of anyone among active players. He has seven finishes in the top 3, including runner-up finishes in the Masters, British Open. He also missed a playoff by one shot in the 2008 U.S. Open and 2009 British Open.
He tied for eighth in the Masters this year.
Garcia has played in 58 majors without winning, and he has the distinction of the longest active streak of consecutive majors played at 55. Garcia lost the 2007 British Open in a playoff, and he was runner-up twice in the PGA Championship. He also tied for eighth at Augusta, despite a 66 in the first round for the outright lead.
Both are closing in on Tom Kite, who played 63 majors as a pro before he won the 1992 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach when he was 42.
USGA RETIREMENT: The USGA is losing 50 years of experience and passion when Rhonda Glenn retires on May 9.
Glenn's affiliation with the USGA began in 1963 when she played the U.S. Girls Junior Amateur, the first of her 11 USGA events, which included five U.S. Women's Amateurs. Over the years, she has expanded her role as a writer, broadcaster and historian, and she later became a fixture running interviews at the U.S. Women's Open.
Perhaps her most impressive feat was helping to pull together the Mickey Wright Room for the USGA Museum. Glenn is a longtime friend of Wright, considered by many to be the greatest female ever. It was the USGA Museum's first room to honor a female player.
Glenn became the first full-time female broadcast for a national network when she went to work for ESPN in 1981. She won the USGA International Book Award in 1992 for "The Illustrated History of Women's Golf," and she is working now on a biography on Nancy Lopez.
DIVOTS: IMG has acquired IGP Sports & Entertainment Group, which manages the Honda Classic. Tournament director Ken Kennerly will join IMG's golf division and be in charge of the agency's North American golf events. IMG also runs the Kraft Nabisco Championship and the Father-Son Challenge. ... Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark tied for sixth at the Masters and earned $278,000, pushing over the amount to make him eligible to be a special temporary member on the PGA Tour. He will have 60 days to take membership, making him eligible for unlimited exemptions the rest of the year. ... Vijay Singh now has gone 27 rounds without breaking 70 at the Masters, dating to a 67 in the first round of 2006. ... A 54-hole lead in the Masters is no longer as safe as it once was. Adam Scott became the fourth straight winner who trailed going into the final round, the longest streak for the Masters since 1984-1987.
STAT OF THE WEEK: Dating to the 2010 Masters, every major champion except for Martin Kaymer (No. 33) and Darren Clarke (No. 230) remain inside the top 25 in the world ranking.
FINAL WORD: "A phone conversation isn't going to do it for us. We are really close, and I'd love to share a beer with him over this one." — Adam Scott after becoming the first Australian to win the Masters, on what he would say to Greg Norman.
