This is a brief overview of some of the findings. The key findings with relevant graphs and opinions are contained in the survey report.
1. Why and how was the survey carried out?
Antisemitism stems from old and deep-rooted prejudices against Jews, which have persisted to the present day and which may lead to incidents of antisemitic violence, harassment and hate speech. Many of these incidents remain unreported. Only 13 of the 28 EU Member States collect official data on antisemitic incidents reported to the police or processed through the criminal justice system.
FRA designed this survey to collect, for the first time, comparable data on antisemitic violence, harassment and hate speech to help tackle antisemitism today. The findings in the survey report compile the results from eight survey countries, which account for some 90% of the estimated Jewish population in the European Union. The results are based on the responses from 5,847 self-identified Jewish respondents (aged 16 or over) living in one of eight EU Member States – Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Due to the sample size, the country results for Romania, one of the countries where the survey was carried out, are not included in the analysis of the survey results. However, the results from Romania are summarised in the report's annex.
FRA designed the survey. The survey was carried out online from September to October 2012 - under contract to FRA following an open call for tender – by Ipsos MORI in partnership with the Institute for Jewish Policy Research in the UK. It was available in the languages of the survey countries, as well as Hebew and Russian.
The online survey mode was selected in consultation with experts in surveying Jewish people in Europe because of the sensitivity of the topic. The online method also allowed all interested self-identified Jewish people in the survey countries to potentially take part and share their experiences. In addition, it was the method which could be easily used to cover all selected countries equally.
2. What questions did the survey ask?
The survey asked respondents for their opinions and perceptions on antisemitic trends and antisemitism as a problem in everyday life. The respondents were also asked to describe their personal experiences of antisemitic incidents, witnessing antisemitic incidents and worrying about being a victim of an antisemitic attack (affecting their personal safety, safety of children, or other family members and friends). The survey also provides data on whether the occurrence of antisemitic acts against the Jewish community, such as vandalism of Jewish sites or antisemitic messages in the broadcast media or in the internet, is considered to be a problem in their countries by the Jewish respondents.
In addition, the survey collected socio-demographic data, such as respondents' gender and age, educational background, employment status, and income.
3. How common do respondents consider antisemitism to be?
A majority of respondents (66%) consider antisemitism to be a problem across the EU Member States surveyed. On average three out of four respondents (76%) also believe that the situation has become more acute and that antisemitism has increased in their country over the past five years. Overall, 75% of respondents consider antisemitism online to be a problem.
4. How common is antisemitic hate crime in the EU?
One in five respondents (21%) had personally experienced at least one incident of antisemitic verbal insult or harassment, and/or a physical attack in the year before the survey. The respondents were also asked about incidents that affected them indirectly – through witnessing other Jews being verbally insulted, harrased or physically attacked, for example. The highest levels of antisemitic incidents that affected respondents indirectly, were found in Hungary (43%), Belgium (35%) and France (30%). Respondents were also asked about the forms of harassment that they encountered. Offensive comments – either in person or on the internet – were the most widespread form of harassment.
Perpetrators of the most serious incidents of antisemitic harassment were described by respondents as being perceived as someone with Muslim extremist views (27%), left-wing political views (22%), or with right-wing views (19%).
Overall, 4% of respondents experienced physical attack or threats of violence in the year before the survey because they were Jewish.
According to the findings, 76% of respondents who in the past five years experienced harassment, 64% of those who experienced physical attacks or threats of violence and 53% of those who experienced vandalism of personal property did not report these incidents to the police or any other organisation – including in those countries that do officially collect such figures. Similar patterns emerge from FRA's work with other groups (such as LGBT people, minorities and migrants).
FRA data collection work on antisemitism over recent years also shows that only 13 EU Member States have official data and statistics on antisemitic incidents. Where data exist, they are not comparable, since they are collected using different definitions and methodologies. Furthermore, in many EU Member States Jewish organisations or other civil society organisations do not systematically collect data on antisemitic incidents.
Facing facts!, a joint project whose main objective is to improve monitoring and recording of hate crimes and incidents throughout the EU, has published hate crime monitoring guidelines.
5. How safe do Jewish people feel?
Close to half of all respondents (46%) worry about being verbally insulted or harassed in a public place while one third (33%) worry about being physically attacked because of being Jewish. Worry that these attacks may happen to family members or people close to them is somewhat higher than the worry about personal victimisation. 66% of parents or grandparents of school-aged children worry that their children could be subjected to antisemitic verbal insults or harassment at school or on the way there, and 52% worry that their children will suffer a physical antisemitic attack.
6. How common is antisemitic discrimination in the EU?
23% of all respondents reported having experienced some form of discrimination on the ground of their religion or ethnic background in the past 12 months. In all countries, antisemitic discrimination most often happened at work (11%), when looking for work (10%), or at school or in training (8%).
Most of those who felt discriminated against because they were Jewish did not report their most serious incident of discrimination to any authority or organisation (82%). When asked why not, 57% said that nothing would have changed by reporting; a finding similar to other FRA studies.
7. How do Jewish people feel treated by society?
Around a fifth (23%) said that they occasionally avoid visiting Jewish events or sites because they do not feel safe there or on the way there because they are Jewish. Just over a quarter (27%) occasionally avoid local places because they do not feel safe there because they are Jewish, with the highest proportions found in Belgium (42%), Hungary (41%) and France (35%).
One in ten respondents (11%) has either moved or considered moving out of their neighbourhood in the past five years due to concerns for their safety as Jews. Such concern led close to one third (29%) to consider at some point emigrating. This particularly applied to respondents in Hungary, France, and Belgium (48%, 46%, and 40% respectively).
The prohibition of traditional Jewish practices would be a big problem for a majority of all respondents (76% saw prohibition of circumcision as a problem, 58% said the same about traditional slaughter).
8. What can be done to tackle antisemitism?
- To ensure that antisemitic discrimination and hate crime are addressed in a systematic and coordinated way, the EU and its Member States should make sure that measures to combat antisemitism are integrated in national strategies and action plans across relevant areas.
- Member States should ensure that intentionally publicly condoning, denying or grossly trivialising crime of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes are punishable.
- Politicians and opinion makers should refrain from antisemitic statements, and they should clearly renounce and condemn such statements when made by others.
- Member States are encouraged to support trade unions and employers' associations in their efforts to adopt diversity and non-discrimination policies, including accommodating Jewish people's needs in the workplace – for example through flexible holiday arrangements, where possible.
- In addition, Member States should facilitate cooperation between Equality Bodies and Jewish community organisations to ensure that Jewish people who face discrimination are informed about their rights and available redress mechanisms.
- The EU and its Member States should identify effective ways and good practices to address the growing concern on online antisemitism. Member States should explore the option of establishing specialised police units that monitor and investigate hate crime on the internet, as well as measures to encourage users to report to the police whenever they detect antisemitic content.
- To tackle underreporting there is a need to encourage and help victims make reports to the police. EU, Member States, and local authorities, should set up or increase concrete awareness-raising activities to support victims of hate-motivated crime and discrimination to report them.
- When crimes have an antisemitic motive, Member States should ensure that this motive is recorded appropriately and taken into account in sentencing, including enhanced penalties. In addition, training needs to be set up in Member States to ensure systematic recording of incidents. Practices such as 'third party reporting' where civil society organisations, for example, report on the behalf of victims, could also be considered.

I have the strange sense that Geert Wilders 'star' is fading. The momentum from Fitna, the anti-immigrant rhetoric, the calls for deporting Muslims has been blunted by the departure of his former friend Brinkman, the embarrassment over the anti-Polish site his party created and other such incidents. This does not mean that he is less of a force for bigotry but for the moment it seems we may have reached a downward curve in his rise.
In America Wilders will have more luck, and will make tons of money scamming not just poor Christian right-wingers but also the small, rich anti-Muslim cadre who hang on his every word.
If fake ex-terrorist Walid Shoebat can still rake in cold hard cash from Bible thumpers even when it is well known that he is a liar, how much better will the peroxide-dyed anti-Muslim politician do?
Update (via. Al-Bakrastani): The government his (Wilders) Fascist party supported has crashed and most likely new elections will decimate his party.
(via. Hugo Treeds) Today he blew up Dutch governement and yesterday his party blew itself up in his home-district of Limburg. Almost weekly party representatives now leave the party and decimate his powerbase in cities and provinces. So your analysis very probably is correct and he will try to flee the mess he made over here in The Netherlands. So America, beware!
Wilders' new book aimed at US market may appeal only to his 'small, rich and fanatical group of followers'
A new book by Geert Wilders aimed at the American market is not due to be officially launched until May 1, but details gleaned from advance and review copies are already doing the rounds.
The book is entitled Marked for Death, Islam's war against the West and me and according to Wilders' own website 'tells the story of Geert Wilders' fight for the right to speak what he believes: namely that Islam is not just a religion but primarily a dangerous ideology which is a threat to Western freedoms.'
The book will be officially presented at an as-yet secret location in the US, and is regarded by some as Wilders' calling card to America. The Dutch MP has made no secret of his international ambitions and is keen to launch and International Freedom Alliance, he said last year.
Magazine HP/De Tijd looks at one incident in the book in which Wilders writes how he was robbed by "three Arab youths" in the Utrecht district of Kanaleneiland – an area of poor housing and high unemployment.
In fact, the robbery took place in a more upmarket part of town several kilometres away the magazine says, citing references to the incident in a biography of Wilders published several years ago.
Tom Kleijn, Washington correspondent for television show Nieuwsuur says the book is a dry, almost academic recount of "how Wilders has become what he is". The book even contains an index and sources, he points out. "Wilders has a small, rich and fanatical group of followers in America," Kleijn said. "But it remains to be seen if this book will boost Wilders' popularity."
Current Dutch president Mark Rutte is not mentioned once, but Wilders states five times that he and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Dutch Somali Muslim critic who now works for a US think-tank, are of the same opinion, Kleijn points out.
Nos correspondent Eelco Bosch van Rosenthal describes how Wilders emphasises his admiration for former US president Ronald Reagan and states current president Barack Obama is a dhimmi – a submissive non-Muslim in a Muslim state.

While most people think of "T-Bird Day" as pure Americana, naturally, we Jews are in there, somewhere, planting roots. "This holiday -- all red, white and bluish -- is also a little Jewish."
Don't believe me? Well, the first acknowledged Thanksgiving was in 1621 (some sources cite 1623) when the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast. Some Jewish historians claim it was originally thought of as a day of fasting, introspection, and prayer, parallel to our Yom Kippur.
Actually, the first American Thanksgiving was copied directly from the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. Both holidays are a festival of thanksgiving to G-d, the giver of the fall harvest. However, as the seasons differ between Israel and New England, Sukkot precedes Thanksgiving by a couple months.
Lost Tribes & Festivals?
The Japanese perform the honored Gion festivals on July 17. This has always been performed on the 17th day of the seventh month, mysteriously matching the day when Noah's ark drifted ashore on the mountains of Ararat. The Bible records, "The ark rested in the seventh month, the 17th day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat" (Genesis 8:4).
How does this relate to Thanksgiving? Though there is no biblical record, maybe the ancients had a thanksgiving feast on this day each year. But since the time of Moses, it was replaced by Sukkot. Israelites knew well of the day when Noah's ark rested. Could it be that a lost biblical-era festival is still surviving in Japan?
Gobble, Gobble, Gevalt!
If you're a purist, quick! Stop the stuffing, the trussing, and the "turkey" trottin'! Ya' got the wrong "boid." No. Actually, right bird, wrong name. How? The first European to set foot on American soil, the concerto Luis de Torres, who sailed with Columbus in 1492, wrote a letter home describing the exotic animal life in the New World, among them "a peacock." He wrote in Hebrew, and the word for "peacock" is "tukki" -- transformed by Europeans into "turkey." Therefore, every Thanksgiving Americans are feasting on a misnamed fowl!
A Thanksgiving Mitzvah
On Thanksgiving 1853, the cornerstone was laid for the first Jewish U.S. hospital in New York City. Completed on June 8, 1855, the name, proudly proclaimed over its doors, was Jews' Hospital (in Hebrew, Beit Cholim). Originally it tended only to Jews, accepting others in emergencies. This changed as a result of the Civil War, Draft Day and Orange Day Parade riots. By 1886, to clarify it served all in the community, the hospital was officially renamed and now is one of the most prestigious hospitals and learning institutions in the world covering some 20 city blocks. It's new name? Mount Sinai Hospital!
The Great Debate
Since 1947, every year before Thanksgiving, students and faculty at the University of Chicago listen to scholars, mathematicians, university presidents, and even Nobel Prize laureates debate the same critical question: Which is better -- the latke or the hamantashan? The great debate has forced scholars to examine, for example, the cosmic and mathematical significance of the shapes and qualities of both delish dishes. Hegel, Freud, Marx and somehow even Plato all get rolled into the fray. All of which proves that We Jews love argumentation almost as much as eating, and when we can combine them? Ai Ai Ai -- a joy!
And We Shall Shop in This New Land
For most Americans, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade kicks off the holiday shopping season. Of course, this legendary parade is hosted by a Jewish department store! (Macy's was founded by the Strauses.) By the end of World War II, department stores owned by Jewish families sprawled from sea to shining sea. Macy's competitor, Gimbels, was also a Jewish establishment. Here are a few more that have ho ho ho-ed, as they've serviced both Gentile and Jew.
• Bloomingdale's
• Rich's
• Bergdorf Goodman
• Neiman Marcus
• Lord & Taylor
• I. Magnin
• Saks
• Filene's
• Orbach's
• Sears, Roebuck & Co.
• And of course ... Loehmann's!

Of all the cockamamie controversies surrounding the Super Bowl ... did two columnists actually criticize sideline reporter Alex Flanagan for quoting F. Scott Fitzgerald? And did Keith Olbermann jump to her defense on his show?
Pete Dougherty of the Albany Times Union and Ted Cox of the Chicago Daily Herald both took the opportunity in print to slam Flanagan's use of an F. Scott Fitzgerald line, used during one of her sideline reports on Sunday. The quote, "There are no second acts in American lives," was used in a pregame piece about the resurgence of Kurt Warner. Said Dougherty: "Ugh ... we're watching a football game, not dissecting American history."
No, that would be American Literature, Petey. And would you prefer the wit and wisdom of Michael Irvin or Emmitt Smith? This is why newspapers are dying, boys; you're pandering to people who aren't smart enough to read.
No, if you must criticize Flanagan, criticize her for being unoriginal. Everybody uses that Fitzgerald quote ... even Mike Tyson.
From the Tim Rich's March 16, 2008 U.K. Guardian profile on David Beckham:
"After taking a Beckham-sized salary to decamp to Los Angeles to recreate the glories of The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night for Hollywood, F Scott Fitzgerald remarked sadly that "there are no second acts in American lives". Fitzgerald conclusively proved his point by drinking himself to death while producing unusable scripts that had no chance of ending up as a film."
Esquire, Sept. 1, 1999:
F. Scott Fitzgerald, a famous author Mike Tyson enjoys quoting, once wrote, "There are no second acts in American lives." But Tyson, a tormented soul at 32, proved Fitzgerald wrong Saturday night ...
And ...
F. Scott Fitzgerald may have written, "There are no second acts in American lives," but Michael Jordan went about proving him wrong.
From the March 16, 2008 Portland Oregonian:
And here's the Seattle Times' take on the spectacular fall of New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer. If you think Spitzer's career is all washed up, think again. Bottom line: F. Scott Fitzgerald may have been all wrong when he famously said, "There are no second acts in American lives. Says one American history prof, "In fact, F. Scott Fitzgerald was wrong. It happens all the time.
The same day, in the Augusta Chronicle:
F. Scott Fitzgerald is famous for saying "There are no second acts in American lives," implying that you get one chance to get it right." Of course, that's not true. There are second chances all around us."
Besides, the line — from notes for an unfinished novel, no less — doesn't even mean what people think it means. From Mad In Pursuit Journal.
F. Scott Fitzgerald said, "There are no second acts in American lives." This is one of his most repeated quotes. It's always used to open an article about someone making a new start in life or rising from the ashes of failure to achieve success. "F. Scott Fitzgerald got it wrong when he said ...". Come on, people. Fitzgerald was too close an observer of American life not to know that people reinventing themselves is fundamental. He did a turn in Hollywood writing screenplays, didn't he? Don't you think he knew the function of Second Acts?
So, time to retire this quote, in sports reporting and otherwise. Not because it's too high-brow, but because, like a Brett Favre retirement press conference, it's been done, and it's meaning has been misinterpreted to begin with.

For customers that require a container we are able to provide you with competitive prices whether you need a full container or just require a part load service. IRD works with the best worldwide companies and strives hard to get you the best price whether from the UK to France, or from Germany to Australia. Shipping containers are transported on sea freight vessels that travel popular trade and commerce routes. While container shipping is often the most affordable and efficient way to get household items moved from one location to another, it's not a transportation method known for its speed. A 40 foot shipping containers are an ample size to transport most three-bedroom homes, and larger containers can be purchased if you need more room. While a car can be shipped in a 20 foot container.
Finding a reliable {{mode}} company can be a stressful experience. Whether you are {{mode}} from a one bedroom flat or a five bedroom house we provide you with competitive removal quotes and ensure your belongings are delivered on time and without fuss to your destination. When it comes to moving your home, wrapping your head around the idea can be tough. From the small furniture like the kitchen junk drawer to the bigger furniture like an heirloom chest of drawers or a bed or a sofa moving presents some unique challenges. This is particularly the case when you're moving overseas or to some exotic new locale. Luckily, moving doesn't need to be nearly as painful as all of that. By understanding how to make moving even the large, awkward items easy, it's simple to take an overseas move and make it into a snap.
When you are moving your valuables internationally, it is a good idea to make certain that they are insured against losses or damage. Although it is very rare, you never know what might befall your goods during transportation, they might get lost on the way and if you have not insured them, you will be forced to compensate for the losses. Reduce the risk of such occurrences by being appropriately insured whether you are using ocean or air as a means of your shipping because accidents are unpredictable and no one knows when they might arise.
Insuring your goods will save you the time and avoid obstructions in case there are claim issues about the shipment. You will have more control over your items by making sure that the insuring assessments, restrictions and standards provided by insurers on deliveries are sufficient to meet your needs and requirements. Moreover, because in foreign countries chances of dealing with their courts are high, you will resolve claims dealing with foreign insurance companies easily and faster with a valid insurance.
Following a general average (an internationally recognized standard in a case where when a vessel incurs certain types of accidents all the parties involved will share equally in the loss) as the exporter or the importer, you may be obliged to make a cash deposit or post a bond to be able to obtain the right to release your shipment. Now in this case if you have insurance on your goods, the company will take care of all the expenses and make sure your cargo is released. Carriers have limited accountability on the loss of cargo that may occur in transit and that's why it is very important to insure your goods with a moving company.
We all know that packing can be so hectic and challenging, and we tend to develop a negative attitude towards it; however, this shouldn't be the case. Following these simple tips will inspire you to do it quicker and in an organised manner:

Cook the Book: Grandma Stevens's Coconut Cake
Desserts don't get more Southern than a towering coconut cake. Fluffy and white, dusted with shaved coconut and gobs of seven-minute icing, it's a gorgeous way to end a meal. This particular version from Molly O'Neill's One Big Table incorporates an extra layer of coconut flavor in the form of a sour cream-coconut filling. Mixed up a few days before baking, it's a dead ringer for chocolate Easter egg filling, i.e., super delicious and plenty coconutty.
Grandma Stevens, the North Carolinian baker who originated this recipe, added buttermilk to a traditional yellow cake batter, giving it a slight tang and great moisture similar to a really good red velvet cake. Finished with marshmallowy seven-minute icing and a shower of shaved coconut, this is a show-stopper of a cake and absolutely worth the two days of advanced planning that the recipe calls for. And don't worry if your icing skills aren't up to par—this isn't a cake that needs to be frosted perfectly, and shaved coconut can cover just about any uneven patches.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of One Big Table to give away this week.
Adapted from One Big Table by Molly O'Neill. Copyright © 2011. Published by Simon & Schuster. Available wherever books are sold. All Rights Reserved.
- Yield:12
- Rated:
- For the Filling:
- 2 cups sour cream
- 2 cups sugar
- Three 6-ounce packages frozen shredded or grated coconut, thawed
- For the Cake:
- 3 cups cake flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces and slightly softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- For the Seven-Minute Icing:
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon table salt
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Two days before serving, make the filling: In a large bowl, stir together the sour cream, sugar, and most of the coconut. (Save a bit for sprinkling on top at the end.) Cover and refrigerate.
The day before serving, make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter two 8 x 2-inch cake pans, line with parchment or wax paper, butter again, and set aside. in a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together and set aside. Place the butter in another bowl and beat until light and fluffy with an electric mixer, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar a little at a time, beating after each addition. reduce the mixer speed to low, add the vanilla, then the buttermilk, and beat again at high speed for 10 seconds. Add the flour mixture and beat until smooth.
Divide the batter between the two pans and tap on the counter to remove air bubbles. Bake until the cake is lightly browned and firm to the touch, about 45 minutes. Remove, cool completely on a rack, then turn out each layer onto plates. Split each one horizontally into two equal layers.
Set aside 1 cup of the filling. Use the rest to "build" the four-layer cake. Spread a thin layer of filling underneath the first layer so that the cake doesn't stick to the plate. Then spread a layer of filling on the top of the first layer, and add the second layer. repeat until four layers have been assembled (this is like stacking bricks with a layer of mortar in-between). Cover the top with only a thin layer of filling, as icing will be added. Lightly cover the unfrosted cake and refrigerate overnight.
To make the Seven-Minute Icing: With a handheld mixer, beat together the egg whites, sugar, salt, water, and corn syrup in the top of a double boiler. Place over boiling water and beat until soft peaks form. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla. continue beating until stiff peaks form and the sides of the double boiler top are cool. (Note: this may take longer than 7 minutes!)
Just before serving, mix the reserved filling with the Seven-Minute Icing and ice the whole cake. Sprinkle the top with the reserved coconut.

The Airport Authority explored opportunities to meet demandfor air service in the San Diego County region with the Regional AviationStrategic Plan (RASP). This was the first time in the county's aviation historythat a comprehensive look at all the civilian airports was undertaken. The RASPwas mandated by Senate Bill 10, which was authored by State Senator ChristineKehoe and passed in 2007. The planning process took place from 2010-2011.
To learn more about the RASP findings, click on the linka bove to read the Technical Report.
If you have questions about the RASP, email email@example.com.
The Airport Authority has worked closely with the San Diego Association of Governments
(SANDAG) as it concurrently developed its Airport Multimodal Accessibility Plan (AMAP), which will
present a multimodal strategy to improve surface transportation to airports. SANDAG
will ultimately incorporate the RASP recommendations into the AMAP and the region's
2050 Regional Transportation Plan.
The graphic above shows how the RASP findings will be incorporated into the AMAP

Piggy bank robber sent to jail for 4 months
ITHACA, Mich. (AP) -- A central Michigan man who couldn't keep his hands off a piggy bank has been sentenced to four months in jail.
Adam Spence of Ithaca was sentenced Monday in Gratiot County court. The Morning Sun (http://bit.ly/OefuLI) says he was accused of stealing about $450 while visiting a baby sitter.
The bank has a label that says, "My very first piggy bank." Gratiot County Prosecutor Keith Kushion says the 26-year-old Spence also must write a letter of apology.

Shea Weber goes all-in with Predators, distances self from Flyers
If Shea Weber actually wanted to play for the Philadelphia Flyers, he's not showing it.
The Nashville Predators' captain and All-Star defenseman, speaking for the first time since the team matched Philadelphia's 14-year, $110 million offer sheet, disassociated himself from a series of less than-enthusiastic remarks by his agents last week and professed his excitement for the future in Nashville.
"Now I can focus on the important stuff—getting ready for the season and getting ready to go this year," Weber said on a conference call from his home in British Columbia.
"Now that this is over with, it's a place I could see myself for the rest of my career."
One of Weber's agents, Jarrett Bousquet, told TSN Radio last week after signing the offer sheet that his client preferred Philadelphia and didn't want to be part of another rebuild. Nashville has advanced in the last two postseasons but fell short of expectations in 2012, when a series of midseason additions made them a Western Conference favorite heading into the playoffs.
On July 4, his defense partner and fellow All-Star, Ryan Suter signed with the Minnesota Wild, which started the chain of events that led to the Flyers' offer sheet. Philadelphia massively frontloaded the deal to make it a difficult choice for the Predators, who aren't one of the NHL's top-revenue teams.
Now, Weber characterizes that as more of a negotiating tactic than anything.
"We utilized the CBA the best way we could…I love it in Nashville," Weber said, "The team stepped up and showed that they're going to spend with the best of the teams, and now we can just focus on the season and getting more pieces of the puzzle."
Bousquet's remarks left coach Barry Trotz cold.
"I really thought it was unwarranted, because we're not in a rebuilding mode at all," Trotz said.
GM David Poile wasn't thrilled, either.
"Didn't like to hear that," Poile said. "Obviously, I'm hoping those are his thoughts and not Shea's thoughts."
That, Weber says, is the case.
"That was (Bousquet's) business," Weber said in between talking about his fondness for the city, the organization and his teammates. "I was never a part of any of that."
Poile, as did Weber and Trotz later in the day, cited the presence of Vezina finalist Pekka Rinne, a healthy player development system and an ownership group with the ability to spend as necessary as reasons for optimism, and said that any angling on Weber's part was in the past.
"That was just business. He's now with us for 14 years," Poile said.
Now, all parties involved are looking ahead and enthused about the franchise's future.
"The Predators are here not just to survive, but to be a franchise that competes for the Stanley Cup every year," chairman Tom Cigarran said.
Trotz said the short-term plan was to replace Suter alongside Weber with young, puck-moving blue line Roman Josi. Long term, he's thinking a little bigger.
"I wanna see him with the Stanley Cup over his head, and I want to be behind the bench," Trotz said.

EN POINTE: Vivienne Westwood has collaborated with the English National Ballet by providing dramatic gowns for the company's 2013 campaign.
Tamara Rojo has been the ENB's artistic director since the fall and this partnership fulfills for the first time her stated ambition to forge relationships with people working in other art forms. "I am thrilled that Vivienne Westwood has agreed to let us use her clothes in our first campaign. It's a dream come true to be able to collaborate with someone of such stature," she said. "Her designs capture the creativity and ambition of our dancers who, in turn, add drama and movement to the clothes."
The ballet company has been going through a rebranding since Rojo's appointment and Westwood's creations — from both the archive and the spring/summer 2013 collection — were chosen to underline an unconventional-yet-classical image.
Creative agency The Beautiful Meme is behind the campaign, which was shot on location in London, East Sussex and in Holborn Studios by Guy Farrow. "It is about taking dancers out of tutus and moving away from conventional backstage images to show the intensity, creativity and hot bodies of the dancers. The Company's manifesto is to respect the tradition of ballet but build on it," said TBM's creative director Tom Sharp of the vision behind the images.
"We are delighted to be working with the English National Ballet as both brands have a history and synergy that work together- it's a perfect collaboration of English tradition," commented a Westwood representative.

General info
My name is Tadej Persic (or Tadej Peršič to be precise), and I am a 29 years old male, born on July 13 1980. I grew up in Ljubljana (a small green town), Slovenia, which is a country located in the heart of European Union. I am an ex student at the College for Architecture (which is a part of the University in Ljubljana), while this year I will start attending the high-school for Information Technology. With regard to computers, I am interested in just about everything related to basic programming and scripting (like batch programming, Vbscript, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Python, ABC, etc.), while I also enjoy customizing and tweaking my operating systems (and in general tinkering with my PC to the extreme) and similar; for more about this please visit my computing-related website. I mainly use Windows XP, but occasionally I also use Linux (the Slackware linux distribution). Otherwise I like to listen to various types of music, watch movies and television series; South Park, Dilbert, Futurama, Simpsons, Star Trek, and Babylon 5 are currently my favorites. In my spare time, I also like to browse the World Wide Web (news and techy websites, post on various Internet forums), go to the nature, meet with my friends etc.
My sites/blogs
As first, here is the link to my main general personal website: http://tadejpersic.50webs.com/ (english variant), http://tadejpersic.50webs.org/ (slovenian variant), which is a general website (i.e. it's not strictly computing, nor strictly non-computing related) that basically just a some sort of a navigational website that only describes and lists links to my other websites and blogs, then secondly, the link to my main computing-related website: http://tadej-ivan.50webs.com/ that deals with important computing-related things that I've discovered so far (i.e. my discoveries, hints, principles, rules etc.), thirdly, the link to clarinet instrument related website: http://clarinet.50webs.com/, which as its title hints contains mostly technical and history information about the clarinet musical instrument, and a few of my personal experiences with it, and finally, the link to my main slovenian blog: http://tadej.sopca.com/, while for my english blogs see "Blogi: moji drugi" page: http://tadej.sopca.com/blogi-moji-drugi/ on my blog on Sopca website.
My user pages
Further, I will mention also various user/account pages of mine, as first, my page: http://twitter.com/satyr on Twitter website, which is also some sort of a blog (this is called micro-blogging), then there is my profile page: http://www.facebook.com/tadej.persic on Facebook community, my personal page: http://www.myspace.com/tadejpersic on MySpace portal, and my user page: http://fubar.com/user/1689473 on Fubar portal. For many other such account pages rather see "my-accounts.html" page: http://tadejpersic.50webs.com/my-accounts.html on my main personal website.
My Wiki pages
Finally, I need to list all my user pages on Wiki-type websites. I will start with my account's user page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Wayfarer on english Wikipedia, then this is my user page: http://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uporabnik:Wayfarer on slovenian variant of Wikipedia, while this is my user page: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User:Wayfarer on Wikinews. There are of course other Wiki-type websites on which I mainly use a nick "Satyr-wayfarer" (that's because my nick on various forums is "satyr", while on all the original Wikis it's "Wayfarer"), and these user pages below are ordered by the date of registration. As first there is my user page: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=User:Wayfarer on SourceWatch website, then a user page: https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Satyr-wayfarer on Mozilla Wiki, my user page: https://developer.mozilla.org/User:Satyr-wayfarer on Mozilla Developer, my user page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/User:Satyr on MozillaZine KB, and finally my user page: http://wiki.bb4win.org/wiki/User:Satyr-wayfarer on bb4win Wiki (bb4win is a branch of Blackbox shell replacement for Windows).

What are the security, privacy, and overall availability implications of the Facebook event (link) yesterday? I was astonished to see site after site being redirected to a Facebook error page last evening (US time). What do we know and what can we surmise about this event?
Intuitively the actions I saw yesterday seem to have bypassed fundamental security features of modern browsers/web servers/DNS. What do the results of the error tell us?
/EDIT UPDATE/ To be clear most users like myself were not using nor had ever used Facebook Single Sign On on the pages that were affected.

Are there any Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants fans out there?
I discovered the books years ago in college and LOVED them. I must've read – and re-read – the series 2-3 times because they were so good. There was something very raw and real about the characters that pulled me in.
The fourth book ("Forever in Blue") was published in 2008 and was dubbed "the last summer" as the book pretty much wrapped everything up in a neat little bow. I thought that was the end of the series, but last month I discovered this book on my sister-in-law's bookshelf and was told I was one.
Sisterhood Everlasting catches up with Bridget, Lena, Carmen, and Tibby 10 years in the future – apparently the fourth book didn't wrap everything up in a neat little bow as I thought it had. Nope. 10 years in the future and they're still the same raw, emotionally driven girls that they were when the fourth summer ended on their 19th birthday.
I couldn't wait to read it, but wanted to get through the rest of The Art of Racing in the Rain first. Then I decided I was tired of waiting on Friday and downloaded an audio version of the book to listen to on my runs instead.
I listened to my first few chapters during my run on Saturday morning and haven't been able to stop listening since. I'm listening to the book in my car (and then find excuses to stay in the car and listen more), on my walks with Maddie, at the gym, I even listened while packing, doing laundry, making dinner, and eating dinner (Derek worked late tonight so I was on my own) for 2 hours straight this evening. The storyline is addicting, and I can't put the ipod down.
I still haven't finished (I have two hours left), but something tells me I'm not even going to make it to my next run before I finish.
If you're a fan of the Traveling Pants series, I would highly recommend picking it up. It's nice to check in on the girls in the future and seeing where their lives have taken them, even if it isn't exactly where they want to be. 🙂
Oh, and that dinner I cooked as I was listening? It was petty good.
I was going for a jambalaya, but sort of just ended up with my own creation of what-ever looked good. 😉
I started with chunks of chicken breast, then added carrots, okra, a can of tomatoes, a can of black beans, and the rest of the fresh parsley and thyme in the fridge. Once the veggies were all soft, I poured a can of chicken broth over everything, brought it to a boil, and then to a simmer for 20 minutes.
Pretty good if you ask me. 🙂
Earlier I had a big apple with PB2.
And I had 1/2 of the Caramel Mallow Crunchie for dessert.
The caramel treat was gooey and sticky, but very yummy. 🙂
If you'll excuse me, I have more listening to do.
Good night!

A New Day. A New Way. (A New Blog.)
Hi. Todd Cook here. So, I'm starting a blog. And this is it. I don't really plan to tell anyone about this. So we'll see if anyone ever finds out about it. For the time being, I'll be talking to myself.
So, I'm watching Erik Bedard battle through the bottom of the fifth inning of the Mariners second game of the year. The M's are still winning 4-3, but Bedard is starting to struggle after cruising in the first four innings. Oh, good. Bedard finished off another Twin on a swinging strike out.
With all of the excitement of Griff's return to the Mariners and his record-tying 8th opening day homerun last night, I thought I would start this blog by sharing a little bit about my ideas of where the Mariners of the past and present rank in my mind. So, without further adieu, my all-time Mariners line-up / team:
1. Ichiro Suzuki (RF)
2. Harold Reynolds (2B)
3. Ken Griffey, Jr. (CF)
4. Edgar Martinez (DH)
5. Jay Buhner (LF*)
6. Adrian Beltre (3B)
7. John Olerud (1B)
8. Dan Wilson (C)
9. Spike Owen (SS)

Building on the successful pilot of a United Nations system global contact directory, this system became operational during the reporting period, with organizations joining to make their contact information available using the jointly managed secure and sustainable platform. In addition, the United Nations system concluded a study on the value and feasibility of joint data communications services, which revealed significant opportunities to achieve increased effectiveness through shared global communications services. Also during the period, agencies of the United Nations system, recognizing the current reality in the area of cybersecurity, has begun working on joint programmes in the areas of information security awareness and cybersecurity incident response, as well as common information security policies and practices that agencies can adopt. Finally, the Information and Communications Technology Network of the CEB has begun, through the High-level Committee on Management plan of action for the harmonization of business practices in the United Nations system, to implement its system-wide project to establish the common costing elements of information and communications technology, which will be used to benchmark information and communications technology services by agencies.

Equity prices are significantly lower this morning. Below is a 5 minute chart of the DOW and a 15 minute chart of the S&P futures. Note on the right side a series of lower highs and higher lows, that is a perfect symmetrical triangle. Also note that yesterday's advance stopped exactly by the 61.8% retrace line of the prior down move.
It appears that the bottom boundary of the triangle is broken, but I would want to see a new low that's beneath the prior lows to become more bearish.
The dollar is much stronger and the Euro is basically in free fall. Below is a chart of the dollar on the left and Euro on the right. The dollar has broken out above the 83 level, that is very bullish, while the Euro has broken down to new lows and appears to be headed to the bottom of its channel. If so, it's still quite a ways down before it finds support, most likely in the 1.26 region.
What's going on, you thought Greece had been "saved," right? Forcing both austerity and more debt onto a country is not a positive! But the largest negative of all is that the EU is having to break their own rules and make new ones. That's an assault on the rule of law, capital does not like to stay where the rule of law is breaking down.
ECB Comes to Greece's Aid by Waiving Collateral Rules
May 3 (Bloomberg) -- The European Central Bank joined the international rescue of Greece, saying it would indefinitely accept the country's debt as collateral regardless of its country's credit rating, underpinning gains in the bond market.
The decision came less than a day after Greece agreed to a 110 billion-euro ($145 billion) package of emergency loans from the International Monetary Fund and its euro-region allies. Under the plan backed by the ECB, Greece pledged 30 billion euros in budget cuts to bring a deficit of 13.6 percent of gross domestic product within the EU limit of 3 percent in 2014.
"The ECB is a key player in the rescue package designed to help Greece and it is clearly buying insurance against the likelihood of further multiple downgrades of the Greek debt, something that might lead to a halt of ECB financing to the Greek banks," said Silvio Peruzzo, an economist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc in London.
Further downgrades from credit-rating companies had threatened to render Greek bonds ineligible for collateral for ECB loans after Standard & Poor's last week cut the nation to junk status. Had Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings followed suit, Greece's debt would have no longer been accepted under the previous rules, threatening to inflict further pain on the economy and its banks.
Bonds Gain
The yield on Greece's benchmark 2 year bond fell 183 basis points today to 11.74 percent, after reaching almost 23 percent on April 28 on rising concern about a possible Greek default. The premium investors demand to hold Greek 10-year bonds over comparable German debt fell 50 basis points today to 5.44 percent.
The ECB's Governing Council said Greece's commitment to the terms of the bailout was "appropriate," the Frankfurt-based bank said in an e-mailed statement. "This positive assessment and the strong commitment of the Greek government to fully implement the program are the basis, also from a risk management perspective, for this suspension."
Today's decision was a reversal for ECB President Jean- Claude Trichet, who began the year saying the ECB would not change its "collateral policy for the sake of any particular country."
That prompted Christoph Rieger, co-head of fixed-income strategy at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt, to say today's announcement "leaves a sour taste with regards to the ECB's long-term credibility."
I just don't know how you could destroy your own credibility any more than Trichet has. Saying, "indefinitely accept the country's debt as collateral regardless of its country's credit rating," is tantamount to simply stating that you are willing to print come hell or high water and that you simply do not care about the rule of law, nor about the rules of nature.
Capital is run by people who must have confidence that their money is still going to be worth something in the future and they must be confident that the rules will not just change at the drop of some politician's pin. What next? You have all the other PIGS to go. How long will Germany keep supporting it? This is placing great stress on their union, change is coming, and that change is driven by DEBT which is controlled by the central banks who are talking up "international governance," the very thing and the very people who brought the world their debt to begin with.
Bonds are up sharply this morning as money stampedes back into something at least slightly recognizable. Below is a chart of the long bond futures, /ZB, where you can see that it is now breaking above its prior range:
Below is a 10 day, 10 minute chart of the SPX. Again you can clearly see the triangle that has formed. Yesterday's volume on the Monday ramp job was absolutely pathetic. On this chart it is clear that lower than 1,188 is bearish:
The VIX, however, once again generated a market buy signal yesterday by closing back inside of the upper Bollinger. However, there is a clear uptrend going and until that uptrend is broken, it is higher volatility:
There has been a lot of concern expressed lately for the Chinese markets, deservedly so. They are now beginning to tighten their central planned economy and their markets are reflecting that. Below is a 3 year chart of the Shanghai Exchange, note the divergence from the SPX. Divergences between these two have been resolved with the SPX correcting:
On the one year daily Shanghai chart, a large triangle formed and is now broken to the downside, that is simply bearish:
Goldman Sachs bounced back to the $150 level yesterday but failed to get through the now strong overhead and is sitting at $148 per share. Again, above $150 is bullish, but it doesn't look likely at this point and a break beneath $140 is bearish.
Factory Orders and Pending Home Sales are released at 10 Eastern this morning.
Yesterday the number of new highs on the NYSE decreased significantly, that is a bearish divergence against price. The market is now open and is already setting a new low and breaking that triangle to the downside. The VIX opened back above the upper Bollinger and is making new highs. That is all bearish for the market...

Mr. John Kerry
Secretary of State, USA
Topic: Honouring Mrs. Awadeya Mahmoud Chair of WomenвҖҷs Multi-Purpose Cooperative with the 2016th International Women of Courage Award
We extend our Heartfull thanks to this positive and important step from your side to appreciate the struggle of the women of our country and stimulate their work and tell them strongly : (We Care )
We treat this award given to the Mrs. Awadeya Mahmoud as an acknowledgment for the courageous and innovative work of her and her fellows, and an encouragement for the forgotten women living under the shadows of injustice and discrimination. This award for Mrs. Awadeya would empower women living in a state that neglects their rights and role in life and society . It is also a strong support for the efforts of our people to achieve peace, freedom and their basic rights.
We believe that women's liberation is the liberation of the whole society, thus empowering and encouraging women is a great push into the tremendous development of humans and humanity towards more humane and progressive world.
As much as we appreciate your initiative , we assure you our support for the rights of women, youth and marginalized segments of the society. We are aware that exclusion and marginalization of any part of society is one of the reasons that keep our communities under the cruel conditions of ignorance, backwardness and poverty.
As I send this letter of appreciation, I believe that it represent a large segment of women and youth not only members of the Liberal Democratic Party, but also many conscious and progressive people of our country.
Best regards,
Dr. Ibrahim Nageeb

Recent terror activity has brought Israel once again to the forefront of our thoughts. Many Jews wish we could connect more with Israel, but it can be hard to know where to begin. Here is a list of things we can do – today – to strengthen our bonds with the Jewish state.
Pray for the Welfare of Israel
Judaism views prayer as a participatory process. By reaching out to God, we are not only communicating with our Creator, we are altering ourselves. Each time we focus our attention on the Divine, we grow as human beings. Each time we pray, we elevate ourselves, making ourselves greater and more whole. We are moving toward becoming the person that God wants us to be.
Prayer can take many forms. We can pour out our hearts to God using our own words, or use the Siddur, the Jewish prayer book, for more structured prayers. Additionally, many people say Psalms in times of danger.
You can also recite the official prayer for the State of Israel and the prayer for the safety of the Israeli soldiers.
Donating Money to Victims of Terror
Another way to help those harmed by terror is to donate to funds set up to help its victims, for example that set up funds by the OU.
Alternately, you could pledge a certain amount of charity to any Jewish cause, in the name of victims of terror, or in the hope that the donation will help the cause of peace in Israel.
Place a Prayer in the Western Wall
The Western Wall (the Kotel in Hebrew) is the last remnant of our ancient Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. It is the holiest site in Judaism and you can have your prayer placed between the crevices of the stones. Even if you can't be in Israel yourself right now, it's a great feeling to know that a slip of paper with your prayer on it is actually in Jerusalem.
Start Learning Hebrew
One way to feel more connected to the Jewish state is to start learning its language: Hebrew. These days, there are many ways to study: in courses, through books, with friends, and online. Start small: commit to learning the Hebrew alphabet (there are only 22 letters!), or to taking a basic Hebrew reading course.
In addition to strengthening our bonds with Israel, taking Hebrew classes often has the added benefit of putting us in touch with other people who share our interests. B'hatzlacha! (Good luck!)
Buy Israeli Products
Aside from the tragic human toll of terrorism in Israel, there is a steep economic cost. Lives are disrupted, tourism dips. Increasingly, Israel even faces economic harm from boycott campaigns.
To show your support for Israel, make an effort to buy Israeli products. We all know about Israeli oranges and avocados (delicious together in a salad by the way!), but many will be surprised to know - from electronics to food to medicine to fashion - Israel is a global leader.
So on your way home from work tonight, make an effort to pick up a bottle of Israeli wine. Next time you're in the market, look for Israeli foods. When you next find yourself in a department store, take a look at some of the world-class Israeli brands of clothes, shoes, and jewelry. We all have to buy food and clothing anyway, so why not make our wallets work for Israel at the same time?
Light Shabbat Candles
In the merit of peace in Israel, decide to take on one new mitzvah today. Many people have started a campaign to begin lighting Shabbat candles each Friday before sunset in memory of Israeli victims of terror.
Or choose a different mitzvah. Perhaps start saying some of the Jewish prayers, e.g. saying "Shema" at bedtime. Or resolve to give tzedaka to Jewish causes. For some, a new mitzvah might be to stop eating something that is not kosher, or to make an effort to observe the Jewish laws against gossip.
This is a personal decision, but resolving to start doing one extra mitzvah (or more than one) is a powerful way to help the cause of peace in Israel.
Visit Israel
It might seem counterintuitive, but during times of increased terrorism, visiting Israel can be a meaningful, life-transforming experience. Whether you go alone, or through organized tours such as Birthright or the Jerusalem Fellowships nothing supports Israel like visiting the country.

MESA, Ariz. -- This is Kyle Hendricks' first big league camp, and the right-hander, who was the Cubs' Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2013, was challenged right away in his first live batting-practice session.
Hendricks had to face Anthony Rizzo, Welington Castillo and Starlin Castro, the club's top hitters.
"It's a pleasure to face them," Hendricks said Thursday. "You want to get tested, see where you're at."
Rizzo looked as if he was trying to clear the right-field fence and launch a ball onto the top of the batting cages with one swing against Hendricks.
"He was trying to get me -- that's bragging rights when you're facing your teammates like that," Hendricks said. "I threw some good pitches -- that was a good one, too. They're good hitters and you have to expect that sometimes."
It was a good test for Hendricks, who was a combined 13-4 with a 2.00 ERA in 27 starts last season with Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa.
"When you see those guys coming up, you've got to compete," he said. "You're trying to work on stuff out there, but you also want to show what you can do against the best hitters."

Don't look now, but it's another holiday console bundle. This one's for Europe, and is for the PlayStation 3. It includes an 80GB PS3, a DualShock 3 and a copy of 300 on Blu-Ray.
Nothing big, nothing fancy, just a PS3 with a free copy of a popular movie. Won't set the world on fire, but then, free movies don't hurt when you're sitting amidst a pile of torn wrapping paper on Christmas day, either. It's available now for £300 (USD$440).

Emerging Leaders 2008: Group O
Sponsored by the American Library Association Reference and User Services Association http://www.ala.org/ala/rusa/rusa.cfm
Interlibrary Loan Staffing Survey
Dear Colleagues,
Are you involved in interlibrary loan services in your library? We are a team of ALA Emerging Leaders involved in a RUSA-sponsored survey project. We are seeking your feedback on how interlibrary loan operations are staffed in your library.
Simply click on this URL: http://tinyurl.com/23va3e
Thank you for taking a few minutes to give us your expert opinion. The survey results will be presented at the ALA Emerging Leader Poster Session in ALA 2008 Annual Conference, Anaheim, CA.
We would appreciate your response to the survey no later than Monday, May 5th, 2008. If you have any questions, please contact Bethany Sewell at firstname.lastname@example.com, Linda Shippert at firstname.lastname@example.com, and Ying Zhong at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you!
Design and conduct a survey on how interlibrary loan operations are staffed in different size and types of libraries.
Design and conduct a survey focused on how interlibrary loan operations are staffed in different sizes and types of libraries. A possible part 2 (0r 3) of the project could be to design a "databank" for the survey results that would allow interested persons to search for data relevant to their library environment.
This project is a natural follow-up to previous work done within STARS and other organizations, including a survey conducted earlier this year by the STARS Task Force on Qualifications for Interlibrary Loan Operations Management, contact persons: David Larsen, U of Chicago Library, and Susan Lieberthal, Stonybrook U Library. Information re: staffing in research libraries is also included in Assessing ILL/DD Services: New Cost Effective Alternatives, Mary E. Jackson, with Bruce Kingma and Tom Delaney.
Expected Outcomes
The results of the survey will be available to libraries via RUSA web page and would provide useful planning information.
Work in Progress
The survey http://tinyurl.com/23va3e is online and available until May 5, 2008.
April 4 - survey officially opened
April 7 - 456 responses received
Survey brainstorming
March 15 – Survey details in place

Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch
Check out my GitHub:
Posts are my own, not any current, past or future employer's.
I needed to customize axis title and for that I had to create my own chart theme. I guess you wil have to do the same for legend.
You will have to create your own file_MyTheme.scss and use the cmd "build-touch-charts.sh/.bat", as described here : http://docs.sencha.com/touch-charts/1-0/#!/guide/touch_charts_styling
Take a look at that file if you decide to create your theme :
Are you referring to the way Sencha uses the data model field names as labels?
In our case, we're using SQLite as the data source so it was a simple matter of using field aliases in our SELECT SQL statements to get user friendly display names.
We also needed to make those names react to the on-the-fly language change system .. which we found we could
Yes, I exactly mean that. I did workaround it by changing the field names.
How did you make those names react to the 'on-the-fly language change system'? Do you mean you did it by changing the aliases on the SQL?
We have built an on-the-fly language changing system, using a JSON array of translations... called by a function called "_ ". We load the array before the models & proxies are loaded.
This all works well...
E.g. Model
Proxy - SQLPHP Code:
Ext.regModel('weatherGraphModel', {
fields: [
{name : 'TheDate' , type : 'datetime'},
{name : _('Rainfall') , type : 'float'},
{name : _('Evaporation') , type : 'float'},
{name : _('MinTemp') , type : 'float'},
{name : _('MaxTemp') , type : 'float'},
{name : _('MinHumidity') , type : 'float'},
{name : _('MaxHumidity') , type : 'float'},
{name : _('MaxTempHumidity') , type : 'float'}
proxy: {
type: "graphProxy"
Example of Code in Chart JSPHP Code:
sql = 'SELECT TheDate, '+
'Rainfall AS '+_('Rainfall')+
', Evaporation AS '+_('Evaporation')+
', MinTemp AS '+_('MinTemp')+
', MaxTemp AS '+_('MaxTemp')+
', MinHumidity AS '+_('MinHumidity')+
', MaxHumidity AS '+_('MaxHumidity')+
', MaxTempHumidity AS '+_('MaxTempHumidity');
PHP Code:
axes: [{
type: 'Numeric',
minimum: 0,
position: 'left',
fields: [_('Rainfall'), _('Evaporation'), _('MinTemp'), _('MaxTemp')],
I found this example for ExtJs4, but works for touch charts.
series: [{
yField: ['data1', 'data2'],
title: ['Title 1', 'Title 2']

SURRY, Maine — Nicknamed "the Midnight Gunslinger," he could shoot a rifle and hit a target 200 yards away, despite the fact that he could not see.
On Tuesday morning, poor visibility apparently intervened to take the life of James Miekka, 54, when he was struck by a sport utility vehicle as he was walking along Route 176, known locally as Toddy Pond Road.
The driver of the Ford SUV, resident Robert Elliott, 27, told the Hancock County Sheriff's Department that his vision was obscured by the rising sun as he was driving east toward Surry village. The vehicle, a 2003 Expedition, struck Miekka as the blind marksman was walking west along the eastbound side of the road. Miekka's guide dog, Zoey, was unhurt in the accident.
Elliott stopped immediately and rendered first aid to Miekka, Lt. Tim Cote said in a prepared statement. The accident remains under investigation.
Miekka was known for more than his shooting ability. He was a stock market investor who developed a highly technical formula called "The Hindenburg Omen" for predicting stock market crashes. He also was publisher of the Sudbury Bull and Bear report, a weekly newsletter he created to advise readers about investments.
In 2010, when Miekka disclosed his development of the "Omen" formula — named after the airship that killed 36 people when it caught fire in 1937 — it garnered attention in the business press. The Tampa Bay Times, Wall Street Journal, and CNBC all did stories about the indicator and how accurate it might be.
Miekka was a former physics teacher who, in the summer of 1986, lost his eyesight when an experiment on a chemical product he and his brother were trying to patent for use in the mining industry went awry. In a 2010 interview with the Bangor Daily News, Miekka said he was mixing chemicals at his family's kitchen table in Sudbury, Massachusetts, when the mix exploded, damaging his hands and eyes.
His curiosity and analytical drive were not dimmed by his misfortune. Among the many projects he decided to channel his intellectual restlessness into was one that would enable him to use sound to aim a firearm equipped with a light-sensitive scope.
He was inspired by a device presented at the 1939 World's Fair that could transform visual images into sound, the Daily Mail reported last year. He developed a powerful scope he called a bionic eye that, when focusing on contrasting colors of a target, would use photo cells to convert the light in the image to electricity. The electrical charge then would be converted to sound that Miekka listened to through headphones while preparing to shoot.
As Miekka aimed the rifle, the pitch of the emitted sound in his headphones would change. By tracking how the sound changed when his aim shifted, Miekka would determine where to point the gun when he pulled the trigger.
"If you [point] it too far right, the left ear buzzes and if you [point] it too far left, my right ear buzzes," he told the BDN in 2010. Miekka said at the time that he uses the sounds "to calculate the point of impact."
James Goody, president of the Orrington Rod & Gun Club, on Tuesday recalled Miekka demonstrating his device at the club four years ago. He said he only met him in person that one time, but that he knew Miekka was one-of-a-kind. The sound scope Miekka developed, he said, was like nothing he had ever seen before or since.
"He was absolutely fascinating," Goody said. "It's so sad [that he died]."
Miekka was a summer resident of Surry. According to published reports, he lived in Homosassa, Florida, north of Tampa on the Gulf Coast, during the winter months.
Contacted Tuesday afternoon by phone, Miekka's father, Richard Miekka of the Tampa suburb of Brandon, Florida, said his son was in Maine by himself, except for his guide dog, when the accident occurred. He said Jim, as his son liked to be called, owned 80 acres in Surry and had summered in Maine for more than a decade.
Jim Miekka's girlfriend, Susan Tate, had stayed behind in Florida this year.
"She's devastated," Richard Miekka said.
The elder Miekka said his son was a "borderline genius." He could do complicated mathematical equations in his head, which he employed more than once when developing ways to analyze the stock market. He even took an interest in a New Jersey murder case, going so far as to contact authorities with his findings when he calculated that physical evidence mathematically proved that the husband could not have done it.
"He was all upset they hadn't done some simple calculations," Richard Miekka said.
The father said his son was an inspiration to everyone who has to navigate life with a disability. He said that in 2010, Jim Miekka walked 130 miles to St. Petersburg from Citrus County in Florida, where he was chairman of the board of Blind Americans Inc., to raise awareness about the vision impaired and to encourage them to be more self-sufficient.
"He had his own internal compass," Richard Miekka said of his son.
Jim Miekka is survived by his parents, Richard and Jeanette Miekka, his sister Cynthia Bordas, and his brother Fred Miekka, his father said, in addition to Tate and several nieces and nephews.
BDN writer Ryan McLaughlin contributed to this report.
