PASS Series to invade Richmond in 2018
January 23, 2018 STC	Leave a comment
Officials from the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) and Richmond Raceway announced today a major addition to the 2018 motorsports calendar. The PASS Super Late Models will headline the inaugural PASS Commonwealth Classic at Richmond Raceway on Saturday night, October 20. The PASS Super Late Models will compete in a 100-lap event on the famed three-quarter mile oval, along with a 75 lapper for the Late Model Stock cars, as well as feature events for Limited Late Models and Street Stocks. A practice day for all divisions is scheduled for Friday, October 19 that will see all cars attending go through a mandatory safety inspection. Additional practice, qualifying, and all features will take place on Saturday night, October 20, all ending under the lights of Richmond Raceway.
"Many have said that Richmond Raceway is the perfect short track for fans and racers…we agree and believe the Commonwealth Classic will be a bucket list event for short trackers for years to come," said PASS President Tom Mayberry. "We've been working with Dennis [Bickmeier] and his staff at Richmond for the better part of the year to give short track racers and fans this new event and are glad that Super Late Model racers, along with Limiteds and Street Stocks, will have the chance to race at Richmond for the first time ever. We're also glad that Late Model Stocks will be returning to Richmond and one of the first tracks that ever ran that division back in the early 1980s."
"We look forward to bringing another weekend of racing to fans in Racing Virginia with the Pro All Stars Series," said Richmond President Dennis Bickmeier. "The inaugural PASS Commonwealth Classic will feature some of North America's best Super Late Model drivers, and we are honored PASS selected Richmond Raceway as the site for its championship race weekend. It is going to be another great weekend of racing as the Action Track gets hot in October."
The Commonwealth Classic at Richmond will be the penultimate race of the PASS National Championship Series. Now entering its 11th season, Super Late Model racing's only true national championship will bring drivers together from all over North America to compete this Fall at Richmond Raceway.
"When you look at the great drivers that race in PASS North from New England and Canada like Ben Rowe, DJ Shaw, Travis Benjamin and others and the great PASS South drivers like Matt Craig, Tate Fogleman, Kodie Conner and those guys, this is the type of event that they will want to win and be a part of," said Mayberry. "You take those competitors, along with all the other great Super Late Model drivers from the Midwest, West Coast and the Canadian Maritimes that we expect to compete…that's gonna be one heck of a show come October."
The Commonwealth Classic will consist of a 100 lap event for the PASS Super Late Models, paying $10,000 to win and $700 to start. Additionally, Late Model Stocks will return to Richmond Raceway for the first time in a number of years, competing in a 75 lap race, paying $7,000 to win and $700 to start. Both the Limited Late Models and Street Stocks will make their first ever starts at Richmond Raceway with the Limiteds racing for 50 laps and $4000 to win and the Street Stocks racing for 25 laps and $2000 to win.
The Commonwealth Classic weekend will begin on Friday, October 19 with rotating practice for all divisions from 11:30 AM – 4:30 PM. On Saturday, October 20, pit gates will open at 8 AM, with rotating practice from 10 AM – 12:30 PM, followed by qualifying at 3 PM, last chance races, and features for the PASS Super Late Models, Late Model Stocks, Limited Late Models, and Street Stocks set to begin at 4 PM.

Re: World Wide Web Accessibility Policy
In December 2000, UW–Madison developed and adopted a policy concerning World Wide Web Accessibility that demonstrated the University's commitment to making information and communications technologies accessible to individuals with disabilities. The policy was based on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) guidelines as the standard for World Wide Web accessibility. UW–Madison continues to strive to achieve the goals of the World Wide Web Consortium.
In June 2001, the Federal Rehabilitation Act's Section 508 standards were established as the level of compliance required for institutions receiving federal funding. These standards, consistent with W3C's, provide achievable, well documented guidelines for implementation. The attached, updated UW–Madison World Wide Web Accessibility Policy therefore endorses compliance with the Federal Rehabilitation Act's Section 508 standards, specifically subsections 1194.1 through 1194.22 and 1194.31. Web sites may still be developed and presented using the W3C guidelines; the Section 508 standards establish the threshold or minimum for compliance. The updated policy also sets forth a method for identifying portions of current Web sites to be brought into compliance as a priority, based on number of "hits" or specific requests for access.
Compliance with the Federal Rehabilitation Act's Section 508 standards should help the University achieve the goal of ensuring that individuals with disabilities have access to the increasing amount of Web-based material originating on our campus. There is a strong linkage between the required standards and the development of current technologies that support compliance with these standards.
The updated policy supports the University's effective use of emerging technologies in instruction; revised time-lines help make accessible the information residing on legacy pages. Our success requires a continual coordination of programmatic needs, technology, and services. The policy will therefore be reviewed regularly to ensure its effectiveness in an environment of rapidly changing technology.
Information about training, consulting, and technological tools can be found at http://www.doit.wisc.edu/accessibility/ (Web Accessibility Resources) as well as definitions and resources related to the Federal Rehabilitation Act–Section 508 and W3C.
Where compliance is not possible or may require extraordinary measures, exceptions to this policy may be granted by the Office of the Chief Information Officer. Your inquiries and requests for assistance are welcomed.

Science Center Expansion and Renovation
The Science Center
It's all about program and flexibility for the fast-changing world of laboratory science. Westtown was one of the first to pioneer the Physics First model in the 1990's. That innovation led to more students at Westtown excited about lab sciences so now with the same student population we have on average about 125 more students in lab sciences. We continue to innovate in our curriculum, doubling the number of course offerings in the last 15 years with exciting new courses in engineering and many more. And because our students are so strong in science and passionate about it, we need a building to empower and enable independent study.

In Fall 2017, I enrolled in the Gallatin course "Bridging Culture and Nature: An Introduction to Conservation Science," where we explored humanity's relationship to the natural world and then considered how to manage our own behavior to maintain a healthy relationship with nature. The first topic examined was hunter-gatherer societies and their means of survival on a very wild Earth that was little disturbed by human activities. Throughout the semester, we continuously discussed humanity's pattern-based manner and were asked by Professor Jim Tolisano to describe some characteristics modern humans still carry from hunter-gatherers. He also emphasized the importance of understanding how these common behaviors affect our current relationship to nature in urban environments. Several sources that inspired this reflection include Conservation Biology for All (2010), edited by Navjot Sodhi and Paul Ehrlich; John Moir's 2011 New York Times article "An Economist for Nature Calculates the Need for More Protection"; Christopher Solomon's 2017 New York Times interactive opinion piece "America's Wildest Place is Open for Business"; and the PBS television series Earth: A New Wild.
Hunting and gathering was quite a successful method of survival. Rather than remolding each level of the environment for their sole benefit, hunters and gatherers were experts at integrating themselves into their biological communities. They understood that the better they treated their environment, the better it treated them. Humans have spent more than 95 percent of their existence living in small populations as hunters and gatherers on a wilder, much less human-manipulated Earth. With the shift from a more nomadic lifestyle to a more sedentary, agricultural, industrial, and technologically-dependent one, humanity has developed in a rather fascinating manner. Although modern routines may appear to be quite distinctive from hunter-gatherer habits, they are more similar than they appear. Humans are pattern-based beings whose ultimate goal is survival, orienting us towards a more resource-rooted and thus socially interdependent existence. Through social relationships, cultures emerge and humans share stories, laughs, love, and music, among other expressions. Ultimately, human beings always have been and always will be creatures who attempt to survive through communal interdependency. However, the modern world takes a different stance on relationships, one geared more toward greed and self-benefit than common interest.
In both hunting-gathering and contemporary populations, humans yearn to survive by attaining basic necessities, such as water, food, and shelter. In an attempt to obtain these essentials, people tend to cluster into community settings, where individuals' abilities characterize their communal role. For example, in hunting-gathering populations, some individuals created tools to hunt, while others collected particular fruits and vegetables they knew were safe for consumption. This largely parallels the modern concept of jobs, where individuals concentrate on particular professions, such as being a doctor or a farmer, in order to create the most balanced, successful society possible. From these specializations, humans begin to depend on one another for resources, whether they be tools, medicine, food, clothing, etc. We are social beings who work in units. Even in cities, where people appear completely independent, a legal system exists to ensure that individuals survive by performing their proficiencies. This legal system is established by a government that looks to facilitate and enhance people's abilities to perform individual tasks to promote societal success and stability. This intricate web of human interactions within communities has a broad spectrum of outcomes. People have and continue to protect their populations from the influence of others, often resulting in conflict and war over resources. But social interdependency also takes on other forms, those of pleasure. Through the desire to find protection and balance, humans yearn for comfort, love, and security and seek this through family, faith, political systems, music, and so on. These varying human constructions formed culture within hunting and gathering communities as well as present, settled ones. Rituals, such as dancing, chanting, celebrating, mourning, and mating, have always existed within human populations. However, in many current societies, human relationships have greatly shifted from the mutualistic to become more self oriented. This has led to massive environmental destruction, something that was unimaginable during the time of the hunters and gatherers.
Survival in hunting-gathering communities primarily revolved around obtaining basic necessities, such as food, shelter, and water. Their connection to nature was direct, without the several layers of filtration that modern city living imposes. They picked the vegetation that they ate and killed the animals that they consumed. They had a direct link to their environment and understood that protecting it was protecting themselves. A respect for nature existed. However, as the human population largely shifted toward urban centers, modern city dwellers have all but lost that connection with nature and have replaced it with a complex system of trading with each other better known as an "economy." With the increase in technology, many humans no longer have to rely directly on nature. Instead, for many, the first contact with natural resources is through markets and stores. In fact, urban dwellers no longer have daily exposure to nature! As a consequence, survival has evolved from its base in obtaining basic necessities to depending to a larger extent on reward. People have become more focused on increasing their own wealth than looking out for the health and well-being of others in their community and the entire planet. This recent greed-based approach has led to boundless environmental devastation, namely through mass production and the considerable waste and pollution generated by humanity. We are thoughtlessly deforesting much of the planet to spread housing, urbanization, and agriculture as well as to extract more of the earth's natural resources, such as oil. The result has been the destabilization of the balance of life through the destruction of natural habitats, global warming, the spreading of disease, etc. Yet, most of modern society is immune to this. Due to a lack of direct exposure to nature, many do not consider human activity as integrated into nature; rather than the primary mechanism for survival, the natural world seems to many to be an inferior entity to human-built civilization. Within the civilized world, many carelessly leave water running, electricity on, throw food away, dump waste into water sources, etc. In contrast, ancient and current hunting-gathering societies only took what they needed from nature. They understood that wasting resources would endanger their existence in the future.
Although it may seem as if our modern world has no hope of maintaining, or, in many cases, restoring, a healthy relationship with nature, I trust that by educating others on the limitless dependency we have on the planet, our relationship with nature will progress exponentially. Humans would begin to recognize how small and feeble we are in contrast to the almighty, beautiful Earth, who not only provides us with a home, food, and water, but who is also capable of killing us instantly through hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis etc. Once humans begin to simply observe the environment, they will begin to appreciate and respect it. More parks for people to utilize should be established throughout urban environments. In addition, by replacing current methods with environmentally friendly and sustainable techniques for generating food and energy, for purifying water and for recycling waste, we will not only encourage people to recognize the importance of nature and the need to work together for the welfare of humanity and the future of our planet but we will, in our way, be imitating the approach our ancestors took in conserving our world.
"Survival" was originally written in Professor Jim Tolisano's Fall 2017 interdisciplinary seminar, "Bridging Culture and Nature: An Introduction to Conservation Science," and was recommended for publication on Confluence by Professor Peder Anker.

Reminder >> Please urge Ontario to stand strong on bee-killing pesticides...
John Bennett — January 12, 2015
Time to restrict ALL uses of neonicotinoid pesticides
As you know, Ontario plans to restrict the use of bee-killing pesticides. In 2014, the Ontario government announced it intended to restrict the use of neonicotinoid pesticides. In order to develop the plan and regulations, the province began conducting consultations and invited the public to comment.
A number of these public consultations took place this past December and the majority went very well, with farmers and other stakeholders able to give input on the new rules. A meeting on December 19th, however, was very different.
INDUSTRY PUSH-BACK
The head of the Ontario Grain Growers (OGG), accompanied by (former MP) Ted Menzies, the new CEO of industry lobby group CropLife, stood up at the beginning of the meeting, condemned the government, and then (took their toys and) stomped out.
The OGG and CropLife intend to undermine the consultations and are already preparing a pre-federal election ground offensive, and the battlefield is Ontario's urban/rural divide. You may remember CropLife is in the midst of a major lobbying and public relations campaign to prevent Canada from adopting a ban on bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides (an action the European Union took more than a year ago). They know they have to defeat any regulatory action in Ontario or risk seeing it spread across the country.
GOOD FIRST STEP
The Ontario government's plan applies only to corn and soybean crops in the province and does not prohibit other uses of neonicotinoid pesticides. The new plan will require farmers to demonstrate a need for them, replacing the present practice of spraying all seeds before delivering them to the farmer.
The province confidently states that it can eliminate neonicotinoid use by 80% on these crops without a significant impact on production. New rules are expected to be in place by July 2015 (and apply to the 2016 crop growing year).
Sierra Club Canada Foundation is supportive of the plan because it will be the first action by any jurisdiction in North America (the European Union acted in 2013). It should be viewed, however, as only a first step because it applies strictly to soybean and corn seed treatment and not other crops. As a precautionary measure to protect pollinators, we're calling for restrictions on all uses of neonicotinoid pesticides. We see no logical reason to treat other uses of the bee-killing chemicals differently.
BEE HEARD TODAY
We hear from our sources that CropLife and OGG's lobbying of late against restricting bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides has been fierce ("unprecedented"). So let's make sure Ontario stays strong. One way of doing that is submitting comments, and we have until January 25th. We've provided a draft letter here, but we encourage you to personalize it and emphasize your concerns.
As always, a sincere thanks for taking action.

The American Cancer Society estimates that in the District of Columbia alone, there are 2,800 new cancer patients diagnosed every year.
Radiation therapy, which uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells, is used in more than half of all cancer treatments today. The George Washington University Hospital Radiation Oncology Center has some of the most advanced technology for treating cancer with radiation.
With the Clinac® 21EX Linear Accelerator from Varian Medical Systems, The GW Hospital offers patients Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), a precise and sophisticated treatment technology for treating cancer. Used in conjunction with multi-modality imaging, IMRT allows technicians to plan for and deliver higher does of radiation while minimizing the effects to healthy tissue.
IMRT technology is used to treat patients with prostate, head and neck, brain, breast, pancreatic and other cancers.
A form of three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, IMRT links treatment planning with sophisticated software that actually drives the treatment. MRT offers tremendous potential for improving the efficiency and efficacy of radiation therapy, offering a significant opportunity to improve patient outcomes.
At GW Hospital's Radiation Oncology Center, clinicians work with the medical physics staff to use highly advanced treatment planning software to determine the best solution and IMRT treatment for each patient. Whether the goal is dose escalation or simply the desire to reduce complications, IMRT equips clinicians with advanced tools available in the fight against cancer.

    // crawl the link
    // get direct links of top 10 results
}

But I'm not sure how to:

*

*get the href if the condition a.text == 'Large' is met since Simple HTML DOM Parser or PHPQuery neither have this like jQuery.

*On fetching the results page, how to trigger a mousedown even to get the full-size image URLS because this is what I see in the source: jsaction="mousedown:irc.rl;keydown:irc.rlk"
Here's quick screencast of what I'm looking to do: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c8g7fs5m5zqcegb/2015-02-07_08-56-23.mp4?dl=0 (5.9mb)

A: *

*You can use Regular Expresssions to find the matching link.

*If you check the HTML Code of the Google Image Search a bit more closely, you see there is actually also a href param in the Link (Example) which you can follow with just another crawl. There you can parse out the large image again with Regular Expressions.

Groundbreaking launches phase one of North High makeover
September 20, 2022 September 20, 2022 - by Cole Miska
Superintendent Rochelle Cox (r) with a community member at the groundbreaking
North High School alumni
A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Friday, Sept. 16 at Minneapolis' North High School for a Career and Technical Education (CTE) center. The event was attended by about 100 community members including the design team for the expansion, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and North High alumni.
North High and Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) staff, including school board director Sharon El-Amin and interim Superintendent Rochelle Cox, also attended the ceremony.
"We're so excited about the potential that [the center] brings and that we'll really be exploring careers and the educational fields for our students as they make their choices about where they want to go in the future," Cox said.
The ceremonial groundbreaking was done by three groups using golden shovels. The first groundbreaking was led by Cox, Frey, and North High Assistant Principal Steve White, with subsequent groundbreakings by employees of LSE Architects (the design team for the CTE center) and a group of North High alumni.
The CTE center will offer courses allowing students to get trade certificates and post-secondary education level courses that will give them college credits towards a two-year or four-year degree. Classes at the center will be available to all MPS students and will include engineering, robotics, drones, computer science, and media arts.
Some teachers will be moved from other MPS schools to the new CTE center when it opens, causing uneasiness among some teachers.
Kaytie Kamphoff, a teacher at Patrick Henry High School, expressed concern for the future of "Herobotics," Henry High's robotics team. Kamphoff said three teachers would be moving from Henry to the CTE center when it opens.
"I am personally not super excited about losing three of our best Henry High School teachers, two of which are Black CTE teachers, and one is our robotics coach," Kamphoff said. "Plus, we will be losing our beloved Henry News Hour [due to its advisor transferring to North High], which is in its third season."
The CTE center is expected to open in August 2023, and its completion will be phase one of a three-phase plan to renovate North High that is expected to go through 2025 with a total cost of $56 million.
"Almost every internal wall is getting touched," White said regarding the renovation. "Whole renovation. Every ceiling tile, every floor covering, everything."
Amaris Altoro, a current freshman at North High, said she is excited that the renovations will be complete for her senior year. "[The completed concept] looks like a college campus," Altoro said. "It's a really great school, and I think it deserves the renovation and a really great exterior."
Sam Ero-Phillips, an LSE Architects employee and North High alumnus who graduated in 2001, worked on the CTE center and renovation. Ero-Phillips said his children will be the third generation to take classes at North High, and that it meant a lot to him that they will know he worked on the school.
"I've worked on so many schools, but to work on my former school—I spent four years here going to school—I'm happy that we're making it happen," Ero-Phillips said.

From how far off the green have you used your putter? Maybe a few yards? How about 200 yards?
That was the challenge laid down by the European Tour ahead of this week's Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open, asking players to tee up a putter and have a closest to the pin contest from 200 yards out at Castle Stuart.
Most every pro of significance took part in the contest, including Henrik Stenson, Phil Mickelson and others. Ultimately, the players who came closest to the hole were from Scotland. Richie Ramsay hit his shot to an impressive 12 feet, while Russell Knox won the contest with a shot to just 9 feet. He could've used the putter again to make birdie!
In the golf tournament, Ramsay was the low Scot, finishing tied for sixth place, while Knox finished tied for 10th place.


After having a "Coming Soon" sign up at the Indian Hills Shopping Center for over a year now, construction has finally begun (as of late September). Java Roasting Cafe is a "starbucks-like" business based here in Central Arkansas. The chain has two locations in Little Rock, one in Hot Springs, one in Bentonville, and now one soon to open in North Little Rock. The coffee shop is right by the Indian Hills Shopping Center, between the First Security Bank and Indian Hills Baptist Church.
This new location should be convenient for people living in the Indian Hills area of NLR, as well as people in Sherwood that don't want to drive all the way down JFK to go to Starbucks. From the quick progress being made, I would not be suprised if opens next month (November).

August 11th. It's 1967 and a former Nazi is hiding out in South America holding a damaging list of World War II French collaborators. There is only one man France can trust to track down the nefarious Professor Von Zimmel: secret agent Hubert Bonisseur de la Bath, codename OSS 117. Slightly side-tracked by Red Chinese henchmen who pursue him from Europe to Brazil, suave Oscar-winner Jean Dujardin stars as the comic spy who succeeds in spite of himself. And once he's in Rio, he discovers he's not the only one looking for Von Zimmel; Mossad agents want to take the Nazi back to Israel to stand trial. De la Bath finds himself sparring with and romancing a beautiful Israeli Army Officer as they team up to hunt down Von Zimmel. This spy spoof takes full advantage of retro-chic and all the charm of a Gaelic Bond. Along with the evening's screening of this sequel to Cairo, Nest of Spies, enjoy popcorn and sparkling French soda almost as bubbly as Agent 117 himself!
August 12th. Depictions of nature can illuminate themes of sexuality, gender politics, the abject, and the sublime. In Organic Matters, contemporary artists use imagery and materials taken from the natural world. Rather than merely document beauty, artists in Super Natural engage with nature as a space for exploration and invention. The exhibition juxtaposes historical works with photographs, books, and videos by contemporary artists who share their artistic foremothers' uninhibited view of flora and fauna.
August 13th. Keith Goodwin is a singer / songwriter / multi-instrumentalist who owns a cat named King and a dog named Jet. He's a middle child with two children of his own. Keith writes at the very least an idea for a song each day and is known for unique stage dancing. Dan Schwartz is a music-obsessed Sagittarius with a bike riding habit the size of Philadelphia. He is also a coffee enthusiast and an avid reader who doesn't need a movie to be "good" to like it. He enjoys a game of dominos and a shot of whiskey with friends. Most of all, Dan is a guitar player, songwriter, and harmony singer.Broken Into Better Shape (2015)Broken Into Better Shape finds Good Old War pushing their musical boundaries to the limit. Road-weary from two years at sea, the trio set out to write an album full of songs that were not limited to sounding perfect in a live experience. They bunkered down in Goodwin's toddler-toy-filled house and struggled for half a year to find what they were looking for. Around this time, drummer Tim Arnold left the band for Atlanta, where his fiancé was pregnant with their first child. Arnold's DNA remains in the band and his fingerprints are still present as a writer on some of the tracks on the record. With half of the album's songs now written, Goodwin and Schwartz began experimenting with other writers and producers. In New York City, they dreamed up the ultra-inspirational "Fly Away" with writer Emile Haynie (fun., Bruno Mars). A trip to Los Angeles found them improbably paired in a writing session with Zimbabwe-born urban producer T-Collar, where a hook was crafted that the band were eager to take to the studio. It would become their first single, "Tell Me What You Want From Me." Broken Into Better Shape became the record that it is in Nashville, where the band wrote and rounded out songs with producer Jason Lehning (Alison Krause & Union Station, MatKearney, Dolly Parton) and with the aid of a terrific group of musicians and writers. Whereas much of the band's earlier work had been written individually, this album would end up being a grand collaboration. The result is the band's proudest moment, an album of lush, well-crafted songs with no filler, ten songs whittled down from a pool of over forty.April 2015 will find the band touring for the first time in three years, reunited with drummer Tim Arnold, who's traded changing diapers for continuing to be a touring member of the band.
August 14th. Rachel Jirka, research services librarian, shares two manuscript narratives of the French army's march to Yorktown in 1781. Written by Henri-Dominique de Palys, chevalier de Montrepos, and Robert Guillaume, baron de Dillon, these narratives describe the French experience marching south from Newport, Rhode Island. The men include their personal impressions of the terrain, the American people, and of George Washington himself. The presentation will last approximately 30 minutes with time afterwards for up-close viewing of the narratives.
August 14th. "Midwestern rock heroes." – American Songwriter• "…solid, powerhouse musicianship…" – Relix • "…enduringly bright, promising and wonderful." – BlurtIn the years since vocalist and songwriter Scott Terry formed Red Wanting Blue, the band has gone on to establish itself as a quintessential example of American perseverance and hard work, building an exceedingly loyal fanbase based on non-stop touring, all without any industry support.Known for making instant fans of the uninitiated with one of the most engaging and passionate live shows on the road today, Red Wanting Blue found even bigger audiences after the release of its 2012 From The Vanishing Point album, which landed in the Top 10 of Billboard's Heatseekers chart and at #1 for the band's home region.Appearances on "The Late Show with David Letterman," VH1's "Big Morning Buzz Live," and NPR's "Mountain Stage" followed, and while the band continues to reach new and bigger career milestones, Red Wanting Blue is also staying true to its roots. This is evident on the upcoming new album Little America, the band's most personal and promising recording to date.Little America celebrates a community spirit Red Wanting Blue shares with its audience that goes beyond fans who simply give back the passion that comes off the stage. Red Wanting Blue's hard work is matched by fans who work hard, too. It's not unexpected for members of this growing legion to take days off of work and cross state lines to follow the band, to learn just-written tunes from wobbly YouTube videos, and to sing every word at every concert.Just prior to recording Little America, Red Wanting Blue wrapped up over two years of touring that brought to the rest of the nation what the band's long-time followers in the middle of the country already knew about. Packed rooms and sold-out performances throughout the U.S. and Canada proved that Red Wanting Blue wasn't just a regional phenomenon. It also gave band leader Terry some newfound perspective on his art and his profession."There are several reasons why this album is called Little America," he explains.On a white-knuckle drive from Salt Lake City to Denver through a Wyoming snowstorm in the early winter of 2013, the band's converted mobile home nearly hit a jackknifed tractor-trailer."The truck came to a halt just before getting to us," Terry remembers. "There was debris everywhere and we sat in awe for a moment before we maneuvered around the wreckage and slowly made our way down the mountain. We pulled off at the first truck stop we saw – it happened to be named 'Little America.'"Little America also represents an ideology that stems from Terry's childhood."As a child, America was the most enormous thing I knew, and as I got older, it became an epic and unconquerable wilderness that I thought I would spend my whole life discovering. My relationship with America has gotten so much more intimate than I ever could have dreamed. It's 'Little America,' like the nickname you can only give to someone after you've really gotten to know them."Terry also acknowledges the influence of Simon & Garfunkel's classic song "America" on the album, and his life in general."I started playing music to get to see this country through the eyes of a rock n' roll band," he says. "'And we walked off to look for America' is one of my favorite lyrical images ever. 'We walked off to look for America?' But, aren't we already here? I suppose so, if it's just a name of a place. But it's so much more than that."Terry continues, "I'm trying to experience the America I romanticized from the lyrics of rock n' roll songs. I wanted to know what it felt like to 'pull into Nazareth' like The Band's 'The Weight' described. 'On the road again, like a band of gypsies, we go down the highway,' 'Baby, we were born to run,' and on and on and on."Terry sums up his connection with these songs and his connection with Red Wanting Blue's fans this way: "These songs are the soundtrack of my life, and it's my calling to give that back with the hope of having our songs be the soundtrack of someone else's."The new Red Wanting Blue album Little America arrives this summer on July 1st, 2014.
August 15th. You don't have to wait until 2016 for summer games. The Beer Olympics will have all the competition — and booze — you need on Saturday, August 15.

Yara Shahidi is the Iranian-African-American star of the critically acclaimed ABC show Black-ish (which ran from 2014 until earlier this year) and an outspoken advocate for diversity in Hollywood and the importance of education for girls. She also just celebrated her 18th birthday.
Yara's Club, a partnership that she set up with the Young Women's Leadership School, brings together high school students to discuss social issues and ways of taking action. She turned her 18th birthday party into a voter registration event — launching the Eighteenx18 initiative to rally young people to vote in this year's U.S. midterm elections on November 6.
Shahidi was born on February 10, 2000 in Minneapolis to a mother of African-American and Choctaw descent and an Iranian-American father. Her family relocated to Los Angeles when she was 4.
She began appearing in television and print commercials from the age of 6, frequently working with her mother Keri, a commercial actress. She made her big-screen debut at age 9 in Eddy Murphy's Imagine That, and at 14, she landed the role of Zoey Johnson on ABC's popular sitcom Black-ish. Her character's college-set spin-off, Grown-ish, debuted earlier this year on Freeform.
Yara's father, Afshin Shahidi, was born and raised in Mashhad, Iran before moving to the United States. A cinematographer and still photographer, Afshin was Prince's longtime photographer, and Yara knew the superstar from the time she was a little girl. In fact, Prince kept a photograph of the 7-year-old Yara — signed "To Mr. Prince, [heart symbol] Yara — in his office, which she only discovered after he had passed away.
Growing up in Minnesota, surrounded by a tightly knit Iranian community, she had something of a culture shock when she moved to L.A. with her parents.
Shahidi is heading to Harvard University in the fall with a personal recommendation letter from Michelle Obama. (She worked with the former first lady on her Let Girls Learn education initiative.) She plans to double major in sociology and African-American studies, juggling her time between real-life and sitcom campuses.
The actress and activist was selected late last year for the Forbes 30 Under 30 Hollywood ranking.

Delhi HC lets upper age vet course aspirant attend counselling
NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday allowed a 28-year-old man to participate in counselling for admission in Bachelors of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry degree course, whose upper age limit is 25 years.
A division bench of Justice D.N. Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh asked the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying and the Veterinary Council of India to process the admission in accordance with the law. The matter is slated for February 15 for hearing.
Petitioner Gajanand Mishra, an aspirant, had challenged the upper age limit of 25 years as a criterion for admission to the course.
The age limit was brought by the government under Regulation 6 of the Veterinary Council of India Minimum Standards of Veterinary Education - (Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry - Degree Course) Regulations, 2016.
The petitioner states that the regulation is violative of the fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution.
Mishra said that by stipulating an upper age limit for admissions in the degree course, the respondent has created an invidious classification by dividing one class of students into "two artificial and irrational classes".
"Fixing of the maximum age limit is neither in furtherance of the objective behind formulating the 2016 Regulations, nor does it fit into the scheme of the Regulations which have been primarily framed to maintain standards of veterinary education, " plea had said.

Q: run tomcatRun task with debug mode I've got multiple project which are using tomcat on different ports.
I usually run tomcatRun task simply using gradle tR.
But I need to debug one application - it runs on localhost:9080 port so I created debug configuration in eclipse to use localhost and 9000 port.
But how to run tomcatRun task with debug properties? As a solution I found to use some variable
GRADLE_OPTS="-Xmx2048m -Xms2048m -XX:PermSize=512m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=9000,server=y,suspend=n"

However I don't get how to set it for my current application - because I've got multiple application which are using tomcat and I want to run only one application in debug mode?

A: You can use setenv.bat/setenv.sh in tomcat/bin directory and write
set CATALINA_OPTS=-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m ...

WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH: Showcasing Women Writers
By EllaRose Chary on March 08, 2012
in Show/Author Spotlight, Announcements | Tags: adolph green, betty comden, international Women's Day, Jeanine Tesori, Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein, The Lilly Awards, Women's History Month, Avenue Q, In the News, MTI Authors
March 8th is International Women's Day and the whole month of March is Women's History Month. We think this is a great opportunity to spotlight some of the amazing work in the MTI catalog created by women writers.
It's undeniable that musical theater is an art form that has historically been dominated by men writers, and that trend continues into today. For that reason, it's important to note the women who buck that trend and make, and have made, important and delightful contributions to the world of musical theater. In a year when women's issues have been taking the national stage, and in an industry where notable figures like Theresa Rebek (SMASH), Marsha Norman, and Julia Jordan created an entire award – The Lilly - to honor the women artists who are under-represented in other award ceremonies, it's great for us to have the chance to brag about some of the talented women whose shows MTI licenses.
Jeanine Tesori is one of the most versatile composers working today. Her work includes the charming roaring twenties musical THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE and the innovative CAROLINE, OR CHANGE. Her score for VIOLET expands our concept of what a musical can sound like. And, as musical theater in recent years has developed the genre of tongue in cheek, self referential shows (AVENUE Q, URINETOWN), Ms. Tesori has developed with it, creating the charming, hilarious, and remarkably diverse score for SHREK. Despite the many gains for women's equality since Broadway's "Golden Age" in the 1950s, and the increased presence of women writers in the field, most of the nationally known composers of Broadway shows are men. Ms. Tesori is one of the most recognizable exceptions, having been nominated for multiple Tony awards for her many shows. In addition to having national prominence and success, Ms. Tesori is a role model for and supporter of upcoming generations of young women who want to compose. To learn about licensing any of her shows, click here.
One of the most successful women writers during the "Golden Age" was Betty Comden. Half of the bookwriting/lyricist team, Comden and (Adolph) Green, Ms. Comden penned the book and/or lyrics for some of the most iconic scores and shows in the musical theater cannon – not least of which includes the screenplay for SINGIN' IN THE RAIN. Her collaboration with Green was the longest running creative partnership in theater history. Of the many shows they wrote in their career, some of the most notable include WONDERFUL TOWN (with Leonard Bernstein and Jerome Robbins!), BELLS ARE RINGING, THE WILL ROGERS FOLLIES, and APPLAUSE. This body of work garnered them six (!!) Tony Awards, and nominations for everything from the Academy Awards to the Obies. Everyone knows that theater is not an easy business to break into, and given all of these accolades, it's natural to consider Betty Comden as one of the more successful writers in musical theater history. However, Women's History Month is a good time to remember Betty Comden not only overcame all the obstacles associated with being a writer trying to "make it", she also met the challenges of being a women doing that in a time when she was one of only a few – and she succeeded overwhelmingly.
There are other fantastic shows by women in the MTI catalog, and also shows with themes relevant to Women's History Month that we'll be talking about in upcoming posts throughout the month, so stay tuned to the blog. That said, the list of notable, well-known, women musical theater writers (especially composers) is a lot shorter than we would like it to be. A lot of people are uncomfortable with the distinction "women writers" versus just "writers" and that makes sense, nobody wants to qualify the quality of any work based on who the author is. Nevertheless, just as it was important for us to take note of the contributions of an under represented group last month during Black History Month, so, too, is it important for us to do that this month during Women's History Month.

Caroline, or Change


So lightning plus green-Kryptonite equals a power switch? Well, who knew? Well that's alright because I don't insist on realism in my superhero shows. And actually, this was a pretty good episode!
When Clark first becomes human he has nosebleeds and leg cramps and wonders how we all manage in our everyday lives without superpowers. But in the end, it was nice to see Clark embracing humanity, playing basketball without worrying he'll hurt someone and getting closer to Lana without having to worry about her Kryptonite-necklace. Clark adjusted and enjoyed himself. Of course a lot of this is because he has parents who love him and will always support him. Jonathan and Martha Kent love Clark, not his superpowers and Clark knows it.
It is a shame then that poor Eric doesn't have that kind of support. Drunk on the superpowers and lashing out at his horrible parents, it all turned out badly because he didn't have Clark's years of experience. But one thing I was expecting didn't happen, someone taking his parents hostage and forcing Eric to do their bidding.
It is bizarre to see Shawn Ashmore here as Eric! He had and would go on to play Bobby Drake AKA: Iceman in the famous 2000s X-Men films. Here, his full character name is Eric Summers. In the X-Men universe, X-Men leader Scott has the same surname. Where the production team trying to tell us something?! And his twin brother, Aaron Ashmore would go on to play Jimmy Olsen in the series from Season 6 to Season 8.
This episode also proved to be a good time for Clark to loose his powers because Lex had the infamous car accident analysed and became convinced that his friend possessed some kind of superpowers. And poor Victoria got what was coming to her when Lex found out that her father planned to buy out Luthor Corp. Sorry about that Victoria!

What is the New York Post thinking? Who knows, as the Post won't comment on its move to collect a lot of information (making registration much slower), and a lot of very personal information at that.
Even at this late date, publishers remain remarkably divided about the merits of forced registration. Publishers who derive the bulk of their online revenue from advertising generally don't want to lose even a single set of eyeballs against that advertising, and generally opt for no registration at all. That maximizes traffic, but at the expense of knowing much about their online audience.
Another group of publishers believe that, since they are providing valuable content to visitors, it's not unreasonable to ask visitors for some information in return.
Complicating the registration decision is the extreme variation in results when registration is implanted. We know publishers who have seen their site traffic drop by as much as 80% after requiring registration. We also know publishers that have only experienced a 20% drop. We know two publishers whose traffic dropped briefly and then actually began to increase over pre-registration levels. Of course, many of these numbers reflect the anarchic state of Web analytics, which at the moment make it hard to predict the true impact of forced registration.
Leaving aside the tricky question of whether or not to require site registration, here are the ground rules if you go the registration route: ask as few questions as possible (the longer the registration process takes, the more visitors you will lose) and make sure you can fully justify every question you ask. Hey, we're all in the data business, and it's a natural instinct to collect more data. But we've seen more than a few publishers who have taken a traffic hit as a consequence of forced registration, and literally never bothered to look at the data they collected. So don't succumb to data excess or you'll just end up with excess data. If you don't have a known and compelling use for the information, don't collect it.


This won't work, because SMPlayer won't be able to make any sense of the Linux pathnames it is presented with. It won't even know where /mnt is.
$ wslrun /mnt/c/Program\ Files/SMPlayer/smplayer "$@"
This should work whether I specify a directory, a set of files, or a single file. It will also work if I specify an HTTP URI, because wslrun will not attempt to translate a server URI (and, of course, it can't).
wslrun is implemented in C, and has a binary size of only a few kB. The memory size at runtime is unknown, because that depends on technical details of WSL that are not available. It uses exec to replace itself in memory with the program being executed, and Windows seems to respect that. In any event, wslrun's memory overhead is likely to be much smaller than that of a solution using Perl or Python.
wslrun examines each argument on the command line and, if it can be converted to a well-formed, absolute pathname, it is converted. The converted pathname is then compared with the pattern /mnt/X/ where X is a drive letter, and the /mnt/X/ part converted to X:/. Other directory separators are converted from "/" to "\". Arguments that cannot be converted are passed as-is to the program being launched.
This whole process is pretty crude, but seems to work in a surprising number of cases. Windows applications don't usually take command-line switches but, where they do, there usually isn't a problem even if they start with a "/", as is conventional in Windows. Potentially these arguments could match directory names, but they are unlikely to do so in practice.
To build wlsrun you will need the GCC C compiler (e.g., sudo apt-get-install gcc,) and associated utilities, particularly make.
There are some sample scripts that use wslrun in the examples/ directory. These scripts should not normally be installed without checking their suitability.
wslrun should be invoked using the path to the executable to run, and any command-line arguments, in Unix format. In practice, the command will normally be used in a script, with the pattern "$@" to indicate passing all command-line arguments straight through.
Setting the environment variable WSLRUN_DEBUG (to anything) will cause the program to display the arguments it is processing, and what it makes of them. This can be useful for working out why things don't work as they should.
Fundamentally, wslrun is a kludge. It works on the assumption that anything on the command line which can be interpreted as a valid filename is, in fact, a filename. This is very often the case, but it can't be guaranteed.
wlsrun is designed to be used in an environment where files are shared between Linux and Windows. Where that isn't the case, there is perhaps no need for a utility of this kind. Needful or not, Microsoft has repeatedly warned us that Windows tools should not be used to edit files in the Linux filesystem itself, that this will lead to data corruption. In practice, directories under $HOME should normally be symlinks to directories under /mnt, if these files are to be shared. WSL does not expect these files to contain Linux-specific meta-data, so WSL will not break if Windows utilities damage any such meta-data. On the other hand, files in the Linux filesystem area do have Linux-specific meta-data, which needs to be kept intact.
Consequently, wlsrun will not attempt to re-write file locations whose real pathname — after resolving symlinks — does not refer to a location under /mnt.

Relax, Brexit Could Be a False Alarm?
Ben Levisohn
Nietzsche famously claimed that what does not kill us makes us stronger. The European Union is about to put that maxim to the test.
In the aftermath of the United Kingdom's vote in favor of leaving the EU, the immediate fear was whether Brexit would be the blow that finally took the union down. If British voters could decide to leave, why not those in countries like Holland and France? Investors let this scenario play out to the logical conclusion, causing the Standard & Poor's 500 index to slide 5.3% over two days.
Europe is by no means out of the woods, but there's another possibility, even if it lacks the tidiness of the Great Unraveling: Instead of leaving, Britain never invokes Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon—the one that would begin the exit process—and the EU begins making structural changes that ultimately lead to a stronger, more perfect union.
That scenario might seem farfetched, but it appears much more possible than it did just a week ago. The Spanish election on June 26 was supposed to result in a surge of support for antiestablishment, anti-EU parties. Instead, the conservative Popular Party took 33% of the vote—the most of any party—and gained 14 seats in the Spanish Parliament. Its leader, Mariano Rajoy, had told voters that it was "no time for experiments." Apparently, they agreed.
And why wouldn't they? The leaders of the Leave campaign in the U.K. have shown themselves completely unprepared for victory. They backtracked on many of their prereferendum claims about reaping cash savings from bailing on the EU, and they clearly had no plan for how to make Brexit a reality. They even went so far as to console voters by telling them that nothing would really change. "I cannot stress too much that Britain is part of Europe, and always will be," British politician and Leave supporter Boris Johnson wrote in an op-ed following the election. On June 30, he said he wouldn't run for leadership of the Conservative Party.
In fact, it's not even clear whether the U.K. will leave. Robert Rennie, a strategist at Australia's Westpac Group, notes that Britain has yet to invoke Article 50, and he puts the chances of Brexit at about just 40%, even after the referendum. "If we are correct, this suggests that financial markets can continue recovering some poise," he concludes.
Such an outcome would not be unprecedented. David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff, notes that Greek voters rejected a bailout proposal last year by 61% to 39%. Yet Greece is still a member of the European Union, as its government ended up accepting the proposed bailout—and the austerity that went with it. "We have a template of what nonbinding referendum means," Rosenberg says. "Britain will be off the front pages at this time next year."
And if it isn't, and the U.K. does leave, Rosenberg foresees not only trouble in stock markets but also a hit to the global economy. For Britain, it could bring back memories of the 1930s, with its nationalism and protectionism. That alone could be reason enough to hope that saner minds prevail. "Who's going to want to stand up in the House of Commons and be the U.K. equivalent of Herbert Hoover?" Rosenberg asks. "If they invoke Article 50, it will make what happened last week look like a walk in the park."

The best-case scenario, then, is that the U.K. remains, and the EU begins to make changes that tamp down populist pressures. Britain, Rosenberg says, isn't the only country fed up with the bureaucracy and opacity that has been the EU's hallmark since its establishment. European leaders are aware of this and have signaled that, perhaps, they're ready for reforms that address these complaints. "This is a case of hope triumphing over experience," Rosenberg says.
And sometimes that's the best we can do.
THE STANDARD & POOR'S 500 index has had a remarkable rally off its Brexit lows, having gained 5.1% in just four days. Can it keep heading higher? Tom Lee, head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, thinks it can.
Lee notes that fear of political chaos soared following the Brexit vote. He points to the U.S. Economic Policy Uncertainty Index (available at policyuncertainty.com), which has surged to its highest level since the U.S. government shutdown in 2013.
Since 1985, there have been 22 previous instances, and in all but three, the market traded higher over the next six months. One of those failures occurred in September 2008, when Congress voted against a proposal to bail out the U.S. banking system, and the market fell 32% during the following half-year.
But as long as policy makers prevent the current political crisis from becoming a financial one, there's no reason for a repeat. "The market has shown that it has realized that Brexit is not a calamity," Lee says. "I don't think it's making a mistake."
