Breanna Stewart, Chennedy Carter among standouts at WNBA midway point
Jeff Tracy
Data: WNBA; Table: Axios Visuals
The WNBA season has reached its midway point, with every team either 10 or 11 games through this year's shortened, 22-game campaign.
First half superlatives:
MVP — Breanna Stewart (SEA): The 2018 MVP missed all of last season (Achilles), but she's back, scoring at will and leading the league's best team.
ROY — Chennedy Carter (ATL): The No. 4 pick is a walking bucket (seventh in scoring at 17 ppg). But she'll miss two weeks with an ankle injury, meaning No. 16 pick Crystal Dangerfield (MIN) could slide in and become the lowest draft pick to ever win (previous low: No. 7 pick Tracy Reid in 1998).
Best team — Seattle Storm: Despite being without coach Dan Hughes (opted out for health reasons), the 2018 champs have won eight straight games behind Stewart and legendary PG Sue Bird.
Most disappointing team — Washington Mystics: The defending champs began the year 3-0, but have since dropped seven straight. They desperately miss reigning MVP Elena Delle Donne, who opted out for health reasons.
Biggest bummer — Sabrina Ionescu's injury: The most hyped rookie in WNBA history delivered a 33-7-7 masterpiece in just her second game. One game later, she badly sprained her ankle, likely ending her season.
Tonight's games (all times ET):
7pm: Fever at Sun (CBSSN)
9pm: Aces at Sky (ESPN2)
10pm: Liberty at Storm

The Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James and Anthony Davis led the team to a Game 6 106-93 triumph over the Miami Heat in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, to win a record-tying 17th NBA championship Sunday night.
The big picture: James' fourth championship — and his fourth NBA Finals MVP award — capped off a highly unusual season that was disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. The game was the 260th of James' playoff career. This season was also notable for a sports walkout begun by NBA players over the police shooting of Jacob Blake and James leading a campaign to increase the number of poll workers in Black electoral districts.

For issues regarding local calendar storage, based on mozStorage (SQLite).
If a single instance of an all day weekly-repeating event is edited, the original unedited event reappears adjacent to the modified event the next time the user opens the calendar program, Sunbird in this case.
6. Upon loading, the application shows both the edited event and the original event on the same day.
One event shown (the edited one).
This problem did not exist in Sunbird 0.7, but it does exist in Sunbird 0.9 and Sunbird 1.0pre.
It's possible for me to reproduce this issue with lightning build 20081210 and a local storage calendar.
I'm not sure whom this bug should be assigned to.
However, I just remembered an issue I had with Sunbird 0.8.  If I made a repeating event but I later tried to edit just one instance, it was necessary to make the change twice.  The first time, it did not store the change.
This seems like it may be related to bug 468846, but I'm not sure who worked on it previously.
This fixes the problem. Storage has always handled RECURRENCE-ID as DATE-TIME.
BTW: I couldn't run the unit tests; is that issue known (or my build broken)?
> BTW: I couldn't run the unit tests; is that issue known (or my build broken)?
|make check| runs fine for me on win32 sunbird build as of today.
The patch that was committed will not work if you have a DATE-TIME based recurring meeting which has one DATE-ONLY exception, the recurrence id for the exception must have the time information even if the exception instance is an allday event.
Here is a suggested workaround that seems to work for me (but will not work if the original instance has a time value of T000000. But it's still better than the current situation.
Philipp, is this [needed beta]?
If possible we should fix this for the beta, but I'd be fine postponing it to beta2.
I think the better solution would be to add a column so that also instances with T000000 work.
I agree with Philipp that the easiest solution would be to add a flag, e.g. CAL_ITEM_FLAG_PARENT_ALLDAY), so overridden items construct the correct recurrence id value type.
This fixes, requires patch from bug 470430 and possibly also from bug 494140 (the latter of which I only have local, since I don't know how much more 470430 will change. Ask me if needed).
1. The occurrence itself already has EVENT_ALLDAY.
2. It's a flag to just balance out the RECURRENCE-ID which relates to the parent item's rule.
That way I'd propose to make clear what type the parent has (allday or not), e.g. PARENT_IS_ALLDAY or the like.
At first I thought this wasn't quite true, but actually you are right. To be even more clear, I think we should call it RECURRENCE_ID_ALLDAY. This way all ambiguities should be taken care of.
I'll check this in as soon as bug 470430 and bug 494140 are checked in.
bug 470430 is sufficient for applying this patch. I will check this in tomorrow when we have a nightly with the aforementioned bug.

NYS Financial Situation Analysis
Beyond the health and safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic that our state and nation are grappling with, the state's financial situation, significant deficit and looming budget cuts are top-of-mind for most individuals and organizations right now.
Below we have prepared an update to serve as both a refresher on the enacted state budget and "super powers" granted to the Governor and Division of Budget authorizing off-budget spending adjustments, and to provide the latest state of play for what is being considered by government officials to address the more than $13 billion deficit facing our state since enactment of the final budget in early April.
SFY 2020-21 Enacted Budget
In the early morning hours of April 3rd, the State Legislature completed passage of final state budget bills for State Fiscal Year 2020-21. Later that day the bills were signed into law by Governor Cuomo. At the beginning of 2020, the State had a $6 billion deficit, $2.5 billion of which the Governor attributed to Medicaid overspending. The enacted budget totaled approximately $178 billion and closed the budget deficit through a series of actions including some Medicaid reforms.
However, at that time Comptroller DiNapoli and Budget Director Mujica stated that the deficit could balloon to $15-$16 billion as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the shutdown economy, increased unemployment, deferred tax payments, the direct pandemic costs and other factors. Given this uncertainty the enacted budget granted the Governor and Budget Director "superpowers," allowing for the adjustment of spending levels throughout the fiscal year.
New Superpowers
The budget states that spending reductions can be taken at certain intervals if on a cash basis of accounting, a General Fund imbalance occurs. That is when actual state operating funds tax receipts are less than 99% of estimated state operating funds tax receipts, OR actual state operating funds disbursements are more than 101% of estimated state operating funds disbursements OR both, during a period.
The intervals are measured as the difference between actual state operating funds tax receipts and estimated state operating tax receipts, as follows:
April 1-30, 2020: First Period
May 1-June 30, 2020: Second Period
July 1- December 31, 2020: Third Period
If an imbalance occurs, the Budget Director is authorized to adjust or reduce any general fund, state special revenue fund appropriation and related cash disbursement by an amount needed to maintain a balanced budget. This could include across-the-board or more specific cuts. Prior to making any cuts, the Budget Director must notify the Legislature which would then have ten days to prepare its own plan (passed by both houses). If the Legislature fails to act, DOB's reductions would take effect immediately. Such reductions may be restored if actual state operating funds tax receipts through 2/28/21 are not less than 98% of estimated state operating funds tax receipts or if the federal government provides funding sufficient to address the imbalance.
The final budget contained some exemptions from any spending reductions including public assistance payments, reductions that would violate federal law, debt service payments and payments that the state is required to pay per court orders. The final budget also gives DOB the authority to withhold all or some funding if such action is necessary to respond to direct and indirect economic and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Notice to the Legislature is required for these reductions.
New Medicaid Authority
The enacted budget also gave NYSDOH new authority to adjust Medicaid payments as well if program spending exceeds the Medicaid cap due to revenue changes or cost increases. The budget requires that such adjustments be applied equally across service categories unless data demonstrates that spending increases are driven by a particular area.
First Period (April 1-30, 2020)
In late April, DOB released its NY COVID-19 Preliminary Economic Impact Assessment, which discussed the state's significant revenue shortfall ($13.3 billion or 14% drop in the forecast, equaling $61 billion over the financial plan period of FY 2021 to FY 2024). The report described a financial climate far worse than post 9/11 or other deficit years, and the need for significant reductions in spending if federal funding is not received to offset the shortfall.
During daily briefings in late April, the Governor stated that spending reductions could mean cuts to local governments, education and hospitals and health care by 20%, absent federal assistance.
Despite DOB's report, the Governor's remarks and warnings from Comptroller DiNapoli, the Administration did not release a spending reduction plan and instead has focused strong advocacy on the federal government seeking another relief package for state and local assistance to address pandemic-induced deficits. In addition, the state has been working to manage its cash flow by deferring expected state worker pay raises through October 1st, putting new contracts on hold, delaying payments to certain contracted organizations, reducing payments to counties, and borrowing $3.5 billion in Revenue Anticipation Notes (RANs), among other measures. Note, the final budget authorized the Administration to borrow up to $11 billion without requiring legislative authority. To date the State has issued over $8 billion in RANs and has scheduled additional borrowing throughout the year.
Second Period (May 1-June 30, 2020)
While the second measurement period just ended yesterday, it remains very unclear whether DOB will exercise its authority to enact broad spending reductions. During a daily briefing today, Governor Cuomo stated that he thinks the federal government will act on the next round of COVID-19 relief by the end of this month. Both the House and Senate are in Washington for much of July prior to taking an August Recess and yesterday, Senate Majority Leader McConnell stated that Republicans are willing to move swiftly on another coronavirus relief package but no specifics have been provided at this time. In mid-May, the House passed its own recovery package, which included several billions in aid to cash-strapped state and local governments.
It appears that DOB will attempt to hold off on pursuing budget cuts in hopes of federal relief and if a package is put forward would then evaluate whether further actions would be needed to address the state's over $13 billion deficit.
Possible Revenue Raisers
While the Governor has been reticent to pursue new taxes during his tenure, many in the Legislature have signaled a strong preference for raising taxes versus cutting programs. Below is a list of taxes/ revenue raisers that may be under consideration.
Broad Based Tax Options

NYC Legislation
S.3246/A.2743 NYC PIT surcharge of .534% on income above $1,000,000

Other Potential Revenue Actions
Recreational Cannabis (Conversations ongoing, revenue not immediate)
S.17-D/A.6113-C
ISO wholesale market study
Regional "Transportation and Climate Initiative"
CLCPA-Carbon Pricing mandate
Lessons from the Past
It may be instructive to consider whether there are any lessons that can be learned from the past. 2009 was the last major financial recession experienced by New York State. In October of 2009, Governor Paterson released a two-year, $5 billion Deficit Reduction Plan to address the state's significant budget gap at the time without raising taxes. Paterson's plan included a total of $3.8 billion in across-the-board cuts, administrative savings, funding transfers and some new revenues (not taxes). Following weeks of negotiations with the Legislature, the Deficit Reduction Plan was enacted in December 2009 and totaled $2.7 billion in spending reductions including a 12.5% across-the-board cut to certain local assistance programs, agency reductions, fund transfers, increased Medicaid fraud targets and other actions.
A series of taxes and revenue raisers were also enacted after the 2009 recession including a MTA surcharge extension, which yielded $492 million and an increased cigarette excise tax, which yielded $250 million. Further, in 2010 "temporary" PIT rate increases (top rate 8.97%> $500 million) yielded $4 billion as well as an expanded bottle bill, which resulted in $115 million. Finally, in 2011 a 3-year business tax credit deferral was put in place and yielded $1 billion in years 2 & 3, along with a 1-year repeal of sales tax exemption for clothing under $110 totaling $330 million.
New York City Budget
Following months of negotiations between Mayor de Blasio and the City Council, an agreement was reached late yesterday on a new fiscal year's budget. The final deal totals $88.2 billion, which was greatly reduced from when proposed prior to the pandemic (8% lower than de Blasio's budget proposed in January) and a 5% cut from the $92.8 billion fiscal year 2020 budget. The savings will come from cuts and other savings including a $690 million reduction to the NYPD from last year's spending level, among others. Additionally, de Blasio said that if the federal government does not provide the city with more stimulus funds, he might have to lay off 22,000 city employees starting October 1st. For those who operate in NYC and/or depend on city contracts, more information on the enacted budget and where reductions will be made should be publicly available soon.
While continuing to join the chorus of advocacy focused on the nation's capitol to push for a significant state and local relief package, we believe it is also important for organizations that rely heavily on state and local funding and contracts to attempt to put contingency plans in place should spending reductions be imposed later this year. As seen in 2009, many proposed spending cuts were replaced with taxes and revenue raisers, but some cuts were still enacted. This month will be critical to see if and if so, how much federal relief is provided and then we would expect to see a plan from the Administration for addressing remaining deficits. We will continue to closely monitor federal and state actions in this regard and keep you updated on any new developments or information we received. As always, please do not hesitate to contact us if we can assist you in any way during this very challenging time.

Q: How to show Selected linkbutton amongs set of linkbuttons in asp.net? i have one aspx page on which. set of linkbuttons on it.
linkbutton1

linkbutton2

linkbutton3

linkbutton4

linkbutton5

if i click on any of them. it should be highlighted.
These linkbuttons are in the table.
thanks for any help.

A: you can easily take care of this with css.
when you handle the linkbutton click event set the CSSClass property of the linkbutton to a class which differentiates it from the other linkbuttons in the list.
for instance, on page load you can have all linkbuttons CSSClass property set to Link and have this class defined to be your standard look and feel for hyperlinks. 8pt, tahoma, underlined etc.
create another class called LinkSelected and have it be 8pt, tahoma, underlined, and bold.
in your linkbutton click handler set myLink.CSSClass="LinkSelected"; or ((LinkButton)sender).CSSClass="LinkSelected";
you can define Link and LinkSelected class either inline (not recommended) or in a separate .css file.
give it a try and let me know if you need more details.

A: If you add a CssClass to any of your linkbuttons, something like
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" CssClass="linkbtn" />
You can define the highlighted style in CSS like
.linkbtn .highlighted { color: red; }

and use some javascript to toggle classes. In jQuery it would look like:
$(".linkbtn").click(function () {
   $(".linkbtn").removeClass("highlighted");
   $(this).addClass("highlighted");
});

in ASP.Net just use
<asp:LinkButton id="LinkButton4" OnClick="LinkButton4_Click" runat="server"/>

and in codebehind
private void SetHighlighted(LinkButton btn)
{
  LinkButton1.CssClass = "";
  LinkButton2.CssClass = "";
  LinkButton3.CssClass = "";
  LinkButton4.CssClass = "";
  LinkButton5.CssClass = "";

  btn.CssClass = "highlighted";
}

protected void LinkButton4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  SetHighlighted((LinkButton)sender);
}

do this for every linkbutton

A: I build the same in my pages the last weeks often.
As I see you have 2 options, regarding your code behind, that I don't know:
1) Your link button are linked to a special site (as hyperlinks). Than you can found out by the actual site which is clicked an hover it.
2) Your linkbutton only acitvate code, than you can make a normal "linkbutton1.Font.Bold = true" or something like this.
If you want it by CSS as my knowlegde it is not possible, because there are not rendered as a -tag.

1. What is Alzheimer's disease?
Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible brain disease that slowly destroys memory skills, thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out daily activities, leading to the need for full-time care. Dementia is the general term for a group of brain disorders that cause problems with thinking, memory and behavior. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type. Symptoms vary from person to person, but all people with Alzheimer's disease have problems with memory loss, disorientation and thinking ability. People with Alzheimer's disease may have trouble finding the right words to use, recognizing objects (such as a pencil), recognizing family and friends, and may become frustrated, irritable, and agitated. As the disease gets worse over time, physical problems may include loss of strength and balance, and diminishing bladder and bowel control. As more and more of the brain is affected, areas that control basic life functions, like swallowing and breathing, become irreversibly damaged, resulting eventually in death.
2. What is dementia?
Dementia is a group of symptoms that cause a decline in thinking and memory skills severe enough to interfere with a person's normal daily activities and social relationships. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia in older people. The second most common cause of dementia is multi-infarct dementia, which is caused by a series of strokes. Some of the other diseases that cause dementia are: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, normal pressure hydrocephalus, Pick's disease, Parkinson's disease, Lewy body disease, and Huntington's disease. Symptoms of dementia may also result from depression, drug interaction, metabolic disorders (such as thyroid problems), head injury, vision or hearing problems, tumors, and infection. It is important to identify the actual cause, as many of these conditions are reversible. Early diagnosis increases the chances of treating these conditions successfully.
3. What is senile dementia?
Senile dementia is an outdated term once used to refer to any form of dementia that occurred in older people.
4. What is Mild Cognitive Impairment?
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a borderline condition between normal, age-related memory loss and early Alzheimer's disease. A person with MCI is characterized as having memory problems beyond that expected for a person's age, yet without other clinical signs of dementia. Individuals with MCI have a higher than normal chance of developing Alzheimer's disease.
5. How many people have Alzheimer's disease?
The Alzheimer's Association estimates that 5.8 million people have Alzheimer's disease in the United States. In Texas, 390,000 people age 65 and older have Alzheimer's disease.
6. What is the age of most people with Alzheimer's disease? An estimated 5.8 million Americans of all ages are living with Alzheimer's disease in 2019. This includes an estimated 5.6 million people age 65 and older and approximately 200,000 individuals under age 65 who have younger-onset Alzheimer's.
• One in ten people (10 percent) age 65 and older has Alzheimer's disease.
• About one-third of people age 85 and older (32 percent) have Alzheimer's disease.
• Of the 5.8 million people who have Alzheimer's disease, the vast majority (81 percent) are age 75 or older. The percentage of people with Alzheimer's increases with age: 3 percent of people age 65-74, 17 percent of people age 75-84, and 32 percent of people age 85 and older.
7. Does Alzheimer's disease occur in younger adults?
Yes - the disease can occur in people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s; however, most people diagnosed with Alzheimer's are older than age 65.
8. What causes Alzheimer's disease? Researchers believe there is not a single cause of Alzheimer's disease. The disease likely develops from multiple factors, such as genetics, lifestyle and environment. Scientists have identified factors that increase the risk of Alzheimer's. While some risk factors — age, family history and heredity — can't be changed, emerging evidence suggests there may be other factors we can influence.
9. If a member of my family has Alzheimer's disease, am I at increased risk for developing it?
Two types of Alzheimer's disease exist: familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD), which is an early-onset form of the disease that appears to be inherited, and sporadic Alzheimer's disease, where no obvious inheritance pattern is seen. Approximately 5% of Alzheimer's disease is familial and approximately 95% is sporadic. In familial Alzheimer's disease, several members of the same generation in a family are often affected. Sporadic Alzheimer's disease develops as a result of a variety of factors, which scientists are still attempting to determine. Age is the most important known risk factor for sporadic Alzheimer's disease.
10. Do men or women have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease?
Although Alzheimer's disease strikes both sexes, it is a disease that particularly affects women. More women than men die from the disease - possibly because women generally live longer than men.
11. What is the relationship between aluminum and the development of Alzheimer's disease?
One of the most publicized and controversial hypotheses in the area of Alzheimer's disease research concerns aluminum, which became a suspect in Alzheimer's disease when researchers found traces of this metal in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. Many studies since then have failed to provide consistent or conclusive evidence of a role for aluminum in Alzheimer's disease.
12. What are the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease? Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, which means the symptoms get worse over time. When symptoms appear and how they change over time will vary from person to person. Symptoms can change at different rates and in different patterns. The most common first sign of Alzheimer's disease is gradual loss of short-term memory. Other symptoms may include:
Anxiety, suspiciousness, and agitation;
Difficulties with activities of daily living, such as feeding and bathing;
Difficulty recognizing family and friends;
Forgetting how to use simple, ordinary things, such as a pencil;
Inability to recognize objects;
Loss of appetite; weight loss;
Loss of bladder and bowel control;
Problems finding or speaking the right word;
Loss of speech;
Repetitive speaking or action;
Sleep disturbances;
Total dependence on caregiver; and
Wandering and pacing.
13. How is Alzheimer's disease diagnosed?
There is no single clinical test that can be used to identify Alzheimer's disease. A comprehensive patient evaluation includes a complete health history, physical examination, neurological and mental status assessments, and other tests, including analysis of blood and urine, electrocardiogram, and an imaging exam, such as CT or MRI. While this type of evaluation may provide a diagnosis of possible or probable Alzheimer's disease with up to 90 percent accuracy, absolute confirmation requires examination of brain tissue at autopsy.
14. How important is a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease?
Early and careful evaluation and diagnosis is important because many conditions can cause dementia-like symptoms, some of which are treatable or reversible. Potentially reversible conditions include depression, adverse drug reactions, metabolic changes, and nutritional deficiencies. The earlier an accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is made, the greater the gain in managing symptoms and allowing the person to take part in planning for their future.
15. How long do people with Alzheimer's disease live after developing the disease?
Every case is different, and progression of the disease varies from person to person. On average, from onset of symptoms, people with Alzheimer's disease can live from 8 years (the average) up to 20 years.
16. How is Alzheimer's disease treated?
No treatment is yet available that can stop Alzheimer's disease. However, the drugs donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), or galantamine (Reminyl) may help delay the progression of symptoms associated with Alzheimer's disease. Some behavioral symptoms such as sleeplessness, agitation, wandering, anxiety and depression can be reduced by helping people with Alzheimer's disease and their family caregivers learn ways to identify triggers for these behaviors and methods to help manage them. Some medicines may help with behavioral symptoms if clinically necessary.

I am in my 70s now. Growing up, I had to endure all manner of attempted religious indoctrination through Sunday School, church, and a church school. None of these people ever asked my permission.
From the beginning, I was resistant to dogma, and grew up thinking that all organised religion is false. I went on to become a research scientist with a significant publication record in Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics.
Our species Homo sapiens originated more than 300,000 years ago, and in that time there would have been countless different spiritual and religious concepts. How anyone can say that a particular one is correct and all the rest are wrong utterly defies logic. Occam's Razor, and the hard, cold light of science and reason indicate, to the contrary, that none of them can be true in their intricate and usually absurd detail.
The extensive persecution of homosexuals based on Judaeo-Christian "beliefs" was rife in Australia and throughout the Western world when I was young. We have come a long way, but it is a shame to see religious adherents continuing an irrational war against something they do not even understand in scientific and medical terms, instead clinging to bizarre beliefs that predate the modern era.

Jerrmein Abu Shahba
Shia genocide sadly still continues and every other week we hear of horrifying news regarding the killing of innocent Muslims who believe in the Shia faith. The place of these murders is not just anywhere. These believers are not killed in a supermarket, nor on their way to work, but rather at their very place of worship, a mosque filled with worshippers. In 2015, a terrorist attack which transpired when an ISIS suicide bomber carried out a terrorist attack targeting Masjid Imam As-Sadiq in Kuwait, scores of innocent people were killed and hundreds were injured! The month in which these crimes took place was not just any month as these genocides occurred in the blessed month of Ramadhan whilst the believers were in the state of fasting. The news gives us a feeling of deja vu as just prior to that attack, we heard of the terrorist bombing attack that took place at a Shia mosque in Saudia Arabia, and now we witness for the first time a similar attack targeting Shias in Kuwait.
Till when will this aggression against innocent human beings continue and who will be the next victim? Till when will this aggression against Shias and Shi'asm continue? The goal of the enemy is to eradicate the Ahlul-Bayt (as) school of thought and their followers. This can only be done by either killing Shias or targeting the Holy Shrines of the Ahlul-Bayt (as). They intend to spread sectarian violence in every region of the Muslim world so that Shias become the main target of violence and aggression.
However, we can be confident that their goals will never be achieved as Allah (swt) says in the Holy Quran,
"They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it." [61:8]
And in the authentic Tradition of the Cloak (Hadith Al-Kisa), Allah (swt) explicitly announces that
"By My Almightiness and My Majesty I take this oath: I have not created any well-established sky, extended land, glowing moon, shining sun, revolving planet, flowing ocean, or moving on ark except for your sake and for your love."
With these divine words in mind, we understand that the whole universe and what it contains was created to serve the Holy Household. If this is the divine will, can anyone dare to obstruct it or work against it? After all, when Allah (swt) says to something 'Be, then it Is." [36:82]
ISIS extremists and their cloned factions have no regard for anything or anyone. They have failed to respect the sanctity of the Holy Month of Ramadan, a Mosque (place of worship), and also a group of believers who are fasting!
Our hearts break for the innocent victims who have been injured and killed, and we shed tears when we view images and video clips of the bombings that take place here and there. However, what we experience today, no matter how vicious and heinous, will never come close to the tragedy and massacre of Ashura against Imam Hussain (as) and his family and companions. After the tragedy of Karbala, the followers of the Ahlul-Bayt (as) have become vaccinated eternally from all other sorrows. The tears shed on Ashura supersede and exceed in quality and quantity all other tears! What bigger tragedy will we meet or come across? There will never be victims more precious than the esteemed personality of Imam Hussain (as), nor believers higher in superiority than his blessed companions. We have seen the worst of which has happened to the best and most precious of people. The enemies of Allah (swt) think that they can shake our faith or demoralize us by repeatedly carrying out these terrorist attacks, but little do they know that we received a vaccination from a tragedy that occurred a long time ago on the Day of Ashura that has trained and prepared us for any other tragedy or calamity that will happen in the future.
We mourn the loss of our beloved brothers and sisters, but we also celebrate their attaining of the status of martyrdom that is the ultimate goal and epitome of divine servitude. It was Sayyida Zainab (as) who clearly stated this after witnessing the tragedy of Karbala, as she addressed the enemy,
"Death is our way of life and martyrdom is our honor".
It is no surprise that our path is filled with thorns and needles, for surely the believer must be tested as Allah (swt) says,
"And that He may purge those who believe and deprive the unbelievers of blessings." [3:141]
Sheikh Al Kulayni narrates that he heard Imam Ali (as) saying to one of his companions: "Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, "We believe", and that they will not be tested?" [29:1] The Imam then asked him, "What is the test?" The man answered, "We believe that the test is in religion". So the Imam replied, "They will be tested as the gold will be tested for its purity, and they will be refined in the same way that gold is refined and purified" (Al Kafi).
We extend our complaint to Allah (swwt) and end with these words which we recite in the beautiful Dua Al-Iftitah,
"Oh Allah, we complain to you and are disturbed by the departure of our Prophet, Thy blessings be on him and on his family, the absence of our guardian-friend, too many enemies, our numerical scarcity, widespread disorder, and the vicissitudes of time.
So send blessings on Muhammad and on his family, and help us to overcome this state of affairs at once. Disperse the ominous clouds hanging over our heads; lend a helping hand to achieve success; bring in the rule of justice and fair play; make us bright, free from grief; and take care of us. Through Thy mercy, O most Merciful.

We are experimenting with Portal as, foremost, a convenient and very expandable CMS.
We have a typical workflow requirement however that new content (aside from forums) is created in a QA environment, then replicated to production after review.
The documentation does not directly address this sort of architecture.
Can Portal be configured for this, without writing a file/sql export tool? Is there documentation or perhaps an example available?
1. Re: Deploying QA vs. Production?
No. We do not have an export for content in the CMS as you stipulate.
2. Re: Deploying QA vs. Production?
Is there a recommended usage for Portal in enterprise production then?
3. Re: Deploying QA vs. Production?
With regards to the CMS only, I would rely on sql exports, but also make sure to copy over /data/portal directory if you're using a repository.xml different from the one in portal sar, or if you're storing ANYTHING in the FileSystem. Otherwise, you should not have to.
With webdav, it may prove easier to handle export/import, but I have yet to map the scope of that project out for 2.4.

Low Ebb Jeb
I had a hard time determining who I thought the winner of last night's GOP Presidential Debate was. I thought Marco Rubio once again showed that he has the best political skills of any one on the stage. Ted Cruz was also outstanding and last night could prove to be a break-out moment for him. Chris Christie also had a great night and he may have re-energized his flagging campaign as a result. Carly Fiorina turned in another consistent performance. These would be my four definite winners from last night's debate. Between Cruz and Rubio, it is tough to pick one overall winner.
However, it was easy to determine who was the biggest loser of the night---Jeb Bush. Jeb has definitely reached a low ebb. Before he gets any lower perhaps he should think about getting out.
It makes you wonder how so many wealthy, influential people invested their money in a Bush candidacy?
For the record, I have had doubts about Jeb from the outset.
I wrote this about Bush back in May.
For now the race is mostly about money. And there seems to be a lot of money flowing in. Jeb Bush will bring in the most. I read one report that suggests he might have $100 million banked by the end of this month. However, will Jeb Bush be able to collect votes as easily as he is raising cash? In my view it will not be easy running with the Bush name. He starts the race with more money and also with more baggage that he only has by way of birth. It may not be fair but it's politics. It's never fair.
And followed it up with another observation in July about Jeb.
Interestingly, in a Bush-Clinton race 44% would definitely not vote for Bush and 43% would definitely not vote for Clinton. That is why, despite whatever merits Jeb Bush has as a person or candidate, he is a poor pick to run against Clinton. Hillary is carrying a lot of baggage into the race. Why would I pick someone with an equivalent amount of baggage when I have 15 other candidates that can be marketed with a relatively clean slate with most voters?
It clearly is not easy running with the Bush name but it is even harder when your former protege stands next to you on the debate stage and you just don't measure up.
I saw a definite "Marco problem" for Bush in my observations immediately after the first debate in August.
It was difficult to pick a clear winner in the main debate (as contrasted to Carly Fiorina in the early debate) but I thought Marco Rubio stood out for his presence and his articulate answers. I also thought that Jeb Bush definitely suffers when he is on the same stage with his protege.
It all came crashing down on Jeb last night when he was standing right next to Rubio on the debate stage and made an ill-considered decision to attack Marco on his voting record in the Senate.
What was most inexplicable about the Bush attack was that Rubio had just done a great job of parrying the charge about his Senate absences from the CNBC moderators agitators which drew good applause from the audience. However, Bush nevertheless tried to pile on with what was obviously a premeditated attack ("the French work week" line). It made no sense.

And it did not end well for Bush. Rubio responded with what I believe is the best response on the debate stage since Lloyd Bentsen smacked down Dan Quayle in the 1992 Vice Presidential debate.
Credit: C-Span
I thought it was interesting to see a few of the comments from Jeb supporters in the aftermath of last night's debate that were reported by Politico.
"Horrible" is how one Florida-based Bush bundler summed up the night. "He got crushed."
"Marco is a [expletive] Jedi master," one distraught Florida donor said. "Hopefully these idiots learn not to [expletive] with him anymore. Not necessary." Of course, how smart are these bundlers and donors if they gave Jeb money?
Of course, how smart are these bundlers and donors if they gave money to Jeb in the first place?
It is not the first time that the establishment placed their money on the wrong horse in a political race.
I still remember 1980 when all of the big establishment money went to John Connally early.
How did that work out?
Connally earned exactly one delegate in the Republican primaries.
The cost---$11 million. That would be about $36 million in today's dollars. That is a lot of money for one delegate.
Who was the anti-establishment candidate who won the GOP nomination that year?
Ronald Reagan. It is still hard to think that in 1980 Ronald Reagan was the Ted Cruz or Donald Trump of the day.
Who ultimately picked up the establishment mantle in the GOP primaries after Connally faltered?
George H.W. Bush.
It looks like his son may end up looking more like a Connally than a Bush in this race.
Meanwhile, Jeb's protege, Rubio, may soon become the establishment choice squaring off in the end against whoever becomes the anti-establishment candidate (Trump, Carson, Cruz?).
History may not repeat, but it rhymes.
Boat, Back and the Budget Man


Bird bath fountain is a great idea for any backyard décor. You will be able to enjoy birds coming to your backyard as well as the sound of water flowing in the fountain. A fountain is always a great way to make your backyard more special. A fountain, which is a bird bath, is a great way to add special function to your backyard decoration piece.
Interestingly enough bird bath fountains attract more birds than regular bird baths. However, there are a lot of things which might still make you want to choose a regular bath instead of a fountain. First of all, the bird fountain will be more expensive. The flowing water is prone to quicker evaporation. So the fountain needs constant supervision in order for the water not to evaporate fully. If the water evaporates, the pump will most likely be damaged. This fountain bath can only be used in the warm seasons, since the freezing water will damage the intricate piping system of a small fountain.
Heated bird bath fountains are not a good idea as well since they will require too much maintenance as well as electricity to run them. A good idea would be to set up a bath fountain in your yard during the warm months and then switch to a heated deck water bath in the winter.
Buying a bath fountain is a great idea for those who want to hear soothing water splashing sounds. Such fountain will also attract many more birds than regular baths. At the same time the circulating water stays cleaner, so less cleaning will be required. So such a fountain is a good idea for those who can spend money on a decoration which will stay useless in the winter. A used bath fountain is a great solution for those who would like to save money.

Like his predecessor, Obama ignores expert opinion on the drug war, economics, Gaza and global warming.
In December 2007, officials in the Bush White House refused to open an email from the Environmental Protection Agency that concluded that "greenhouse gases are pollutants that must be controlled". If they didn't open the email, then the facts didn't exist, according to their pseudo-logic - much like a child who thinks that if he closes his eyes, he becomes invisible to whatever scary monsters might be hunting him. There's no similar smoking gun with the Obama Administration - at least not yet - but a strikingly similar denial of scientific knowledge from within the executive branch has just been announced by the Obama Administration.
On Friday, July 8, Obama's Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator, Michele M. Leonhart, decreed in the Federal Register that marijuana "has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States", thus keeping it in the same category as heroin, as it has been since 1970. This despite the fact that the National Cancer Institute, part of the cabinet-level Department of Health and Human Services, cites marijuana's potential helpfulness with nausea, loss of appetite, insomnia and pain.
It's not just the National Cancer Institute, of course. Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have laws saying exactly the opposite - that marijuana does have an accepted medical use, and that doctors are free to prescribe it. There are, in fact, thousands of such prescriptions written every day, no matter how hard Leonhart and Obama try to deny it. Are some of those prescriptions bogus? Undoubtedly. But it's the specific claims of individuals that are questionable, not the underlying medicine.
Of course it's true that rigorous drug trial-type tests are lacking, but that's largely a result of the government's refusal to admit there's anything to investigate, as Dr. Igor Grant, director of the Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research at University of California-San Diego, explained to the LA Times. He told them that state-supported clinical trials have shown marijuana helps with neuropathic pain and muscle spasticity, but that the federal government's position discourages further research needed to test the drug's medical effectiveness.
"We're trapped in kind of a vicious cycle here," Grant told the Times. "It's always a danger if the government acts on certain kinds of persuasions or beliefs rather than evidence."
In contrast, once a commercial drug is approved for any medical purpose, doctors are free to prescribe it as they see fit for other purposes as well. It's not a foolproof system, but it does allow for empirical evidence to trickle up from the field in a way that's generally consistent with how scientific knowledge has accumulated for centuries in virtually every field.
Thus, the Obama Administration is trying to maintain a firewall against the raging threat of scientific knowledge that would finally start to wipe away the jumbled mass of reefer madness hysteria, racialized criminal justice and political opportunism that the US' failed war on drugs represents.
It's useful to remember that this is the US' second failed drug war. The first one - against alcohol - was called off quickly after Franklin Roosevelt was elected in 1932, in large part because because it proved to be so incredibly counter-productive, driving up consumption, increasing drug availability and potency (turning beer drinkers to whiskey, etc.), generating massive criminal enterprises, and corrupting police forces. The so-called "unintended consequences" of alcohol prohibition proved to be far more damaging than the drug itself had been without prohibition, but subject to various degrees of restraint by custom and morals.
The current drug war, officially declared by Richard Nixon in 1970, actually had its origins in the early 1900s, but first gained national traction just as prohibition was being repealed. Using lurid propaganda - including purported police reports blaming marijuana for ax-murdering rampages - national anti-marijuana laws were first passed in 1937.
It would be bad enough if Obama's buy-in to anti-scientific drug craziness were an isolated example. But on issue after issue, the Obama Administration has put its weight behind suppressing, ignoring or simply downplaying established bodies of scientific or historical facts, largely because of the power of similar fear-based ideologies. This was certainly the case when the Obama Administration put its weight behind demonising and suppressing the Goldstein Report on Israel's attack on Gaza.
But it's equally true of how Obama has soft-peddled the growing evidence of how severe a threat global warming actually is, while supporting all sorts of status-quo industry pipe dreams, from the myths of safe deep-water drilling, to "clean coal", to the "nuclear renaissance". And as WikiLeaks evidence shows, Obama's upbeat Afghanistan war policy is equally divorced from reality as well. But questioning the military is another fear-based American taboo - much to the frustration of many thoughtful critics within the military itself.
But perhaps most disastrously, from a political economy perspective, has been Obama's wholesale abandonment of macro-economic reality, recently culminating in an apparently desperate attempt to slash trillions from the American welfare state - something conservatives have only dared to dream of for longer than Obama has been alive.
Let's be clear: The financial collapse of 2008 was a stunning repudiation of conservative "free market" ideology, deregulation and trickle-down economics. "I made a mistake," Former Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan told lawmakers, with rare humility, in October 2008, admitting there was "a flaw in the model...that defines how the world works". And the Great Recession that followed was a further confirmation of standard macro-economics, as demand plummeted, pulling the whole economy down in a spiral of rapidly falling business incomes.
Although many business have recovered, consumers in aggregate have not. "It shouldn't be a surprise that people aren't spending", economist Dean Baker told me, "because given the amount of wealth that they lost, that's what standard economic models would predict". Indeed, China has recovered strongly, in part because the Chinese government has turned to massive stimulus spending to help keep its economy growing, including a dramatic expansion of green technology, building supertrains, wind turbines, you name it. This has not just helped the Chinese economy in the short run, it's given them a huge leg up for an entire sector of growth technologies for the next several decades at least.
And yet, despite the clear failure of conservative economic ideology, it's seventy-odd years of standard economics that has gone out the window now, complete with Obama's blessing, as he adopts all manner of fantasy-based right-wing narratives. We're not just talking about abandoning the fiscal government interventions of Keynesian economics here, as Paul Krugman, among others, have pointed out. Conservatives now oppose any form of government activism, including the monetarism of Milton Friedman. This is not to say that government can do nothing, however: It can get out of the way.
One thing conservatives insist on is that "the stimulus failed" and that we need to cut government spending in order to get the economy moving again. The only problem is, there is no economic theory whatsoever that can support these claims. When the government spends money, it goes into the private sector, where it then gets spent again, circulating from those who get it directly - through government contracts, food stamps, tax rebates, whatever - to those they in turn buy things from. Different forms of government spending tend to have different indirect impacts on the economy, but they all result in more spending down the line - a phenomenon known as the multiplier effect.
For the stimulus to "fail" in the way that conservatives claim - not by being too small, but by being totally ineffective or even destructive - the multiplier effect would have to cease to exist, which no one seriously has even tried to explain, or some other, previously unknown economic force would had to have overwhelmed it.
There are some historical arguments conservatives can make; there are a few scattered examples where governments have cut spending and seen their economies grow. But these have been countries in exceptional circumstances, with clearly identified outside forces - such as exchange rates and export demands - that do not apply to economies generally or to the US economy in particular. Not to worry, however. Conservatives don't need history or science when they have rhetoric and fear on their side.
And so we've had more than a year of talk about how budgets must be cut and taxes be kept low, in order to "restore confidence", a nice-sounding phrase without a scintilla of scientific theory or evidence behind it. Indeed, if confidence were the magic elixir that's needed, then recent GOP shenanigans threatening to make America default on its debt would be the last thing that's needed. So it should be obvious that even conservatives don't believe their own fairy-tale version of economics - or perhaps they simply don't understand it.
"Under a laissez-faire system the level of employment depends to a great extent on the so-called state of confidence. If this deteriorates, private investment declines, which results in a fall of output and employment (both directly and through the secondary effect of the fall in incomes upon consumption and investment). This gives the capitalists a powerful indirect control over government policy: everything which may shake the state of confidence must be carefully avoided because it would cause an economic crisis. But once the government learns the trick of increasing employment by its own purchases, this powerful controlling device loses its effectiveness. Hence budget deficits necessary to carry out government intervention must be regarded as perilous."
"The social effects of a paper-money inflation are so fresh in the mind, through our recollections of our own Greenback Era, that I need not recall the wanton bravery of apparel and equipage; the creation of a countless host of artificial necessities in the family beyond the power of the husband and father to supply without a resort to questionable devices or reckless speculations, or to drafts on the proper business capital or the once sacred family reserve; the humiliating imitation of foreign habits of living ..."
This is quite clearly a culture-war narrative of economics, albeit from a far-off era.
Konczal concludes about this passage, "Paper money decreases the power of the husband over his wife and the father over his family, loosens the natural leadership that serves as the best protection against 'effeminate' manners, and gives us a democracy without nobility", thus explaining the appeal of Ron Paul and Glenn Beck's goldbuggism much more clearly than either of them can.
What's more, he concludes more generally, "So if you are a type who believes the government can only do bad, who believes that prosperity flows from how appreciated the business community feels, and who believes strongly in the Natural Order, then you are not going to be in favor of activist monetary and fiscal policy to fix the economy. You also won't have any actual coherent view of what is wrong with the economy."
In short, you will be wallowing in a pre-modern, pre-scientific fantasy world where there are no truths except those you take on faith - and no amount of actual evidence will suffice to change your mind about anything. You will be immune to reason.
It may be accidental - though I think not - that this culture-war economic narrative dates from the same era in which prohibitionism was gaining force. Everything about conservatives in the post-Bush era seems to revolve around trying to repeal the 20th century, trying to get back to a 19th-century - if not even earlier - pre-scientific, "traditional" view of things.
And however deeply Obama might wish otherwise, these are not the sorts of people that one can compromise with, because they are firmly rooted in a pre-scientific time-frame, with absolutes of right and wrong. In this worldview, compromise itself is wrong, and facts that don't fit the pre-ordained order of things can simply be ignored.
Attempting to compromise with political leaders like this not only cannot move them, it profoundly undermines the Enlightenment foundations of traditional liberalism - not just FDR, New Deal liberalism, along with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, but Franklin, Paine, Jefferson and Madison as well - you know, they guys the Tea Partiers mistakenly think are on their side.
Obama must face a fundamental choice: He can either continue to vainly try appealing to those who like to dress up like the Founding Fathers. Or he can come to his senses, and start thinking like them. Time is running out.
