Q: DOMDocument::getElementById returns NULL
Possible Duplicate:
Simplify PHP DOM XML parsing - how?

Here is my XML (c.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
    <head>
        <title id="title">Hello</title>
    </head>
</root>

What I do:
$dom = new DOMDocument;

$dom->load('./c.xml');

var_dump($dom->getElementById('title'));die(); // returns NULL

What is the problem here&?
UPD
$dom->validate(); returns DOMDocument::validate(): no DTD found!

A: I think The Manual explains why this may happen

For this function to work, you will need either to set some ID attributes with DOMElement->setIdAttribute() or a DTD which defines an attribute to be of type ID. In the later case, you will need to validate your document with DOMDocument->validate() or DOMDocument->validateOnParse before using this function.

Potential fixes:

*

*Call $dom->validate();, afterwards you can use $dom->getElementById(), regardless of the errors for some reason.

*Use XPath if you don't feel like validating:
$x = new DOMXPath($dom);
$el = $x->query("//*[@id='title']")->item(0); //Look for id=title
Example of using a custom DTD:
$dtd = '<!ELEMENT note (to,from,heading,body)>
        <!ELEMENT to (#PCDATA)>
        <!ELEMENT from (#PCDATA)>
        <!ELEMENT heading (#PCDATA)>
        <!ELEMENT body (#PCDATA)>';

$systemId = 'data://text/plain;base64,'.base64_encode($dtd);

$creator = new DOMImplementation;
$doctype = $creator->createDocumentType($root, null, $systemId); //Based on your DTD from above

Whoopi Goldberg Denies 'The View' Cast Is Fighting Saying, If It Was True 'There Would Be Issues'
Nicole Weaver
The View is always making headlines because of how heated the cast gets while covering topics. There are rumors that Joy Behar and Meghan McCain don't like each other because of the moments they had on the show.
Whoopi Goldberg has the hard job of keeping them focused. She recently talked about the rumors that they're fighting. Find out what she had to say and more.
Whoopi Goldberg recently talked to Meghan McCain about respect
Former executive producer Bill Geddie joined us to celebrate our 5,000th episode, shared with us about creating the show with Barbara Walters, and reveals his favorite – and least favorite – moment of producing the iconic daytime talk show. Link in bio for full show!
A post shared by The View (@theviewabc) on Nov 7, 2019 at 1:14pm PST
Once again things got uncomfortable on The View. This time the co-hosts were talking over each other and Goldberg tried to put an end to it.
She told them to "take a breath" then said, "Everybody has something to say at the table, we really do want to hear from everybody, but we're starting to do that thing." McCain responded with, "I don't know what that means, 'that thing.'"
Goldberg explained that she meant when they talk over each other. McCain suggested this would be fine since it's The View.
"It is The View. You know what, let me tell you something about The View," Goldberg said. "This show has always had the ability to have different points of view, which we respect around the table."
She continued, "And when we talk to each other, we also exhibit respect. So when I'm saying to you, 'Hold up, because we're not hearing each other,' I'm not trying to cut you off — I'm trying to get you heard."
Goldberg has denied that there is a feud

There are rumors that McCain and Behar don't get along. Goldberg has been asked to weigh in on them while on Watch What Happens Live.
"I don't know, I don't think about it," she answered when a fan asked about the misconceptions of McCain and Behar's relationship. Host, Andy Cohen pressed for more when it comes to the feud rumors.
"No, listen, if they didn't like each other, they would not be on TV together, I'm just sort of saying," she said. "I don't really think about their relationship. I'm actually thinking strictly about myself."
She said if they were fighting there would be issues
One again the co-host is answering questions about the cast possibly not getting along. This time she had a funny way to deny the rumor.
"Here's the thing, I don't often have much to say," she said on Late Night With Seth Meyers. "I've been there for almost 10 years. Everybody has what they need to do, and folks, when it's women they say, 'You know, they're fighting.' You know, if we were fighting, you'd actually know it."
She continued to explain her reasoning. "We're old broads," said Goldberg. "We're like, pow! [throws a punch] We're not like, 'Stop it, you're so mean to me.' We don't do that. We will slap you into next week. If we were truly fighting, there would be issues."
The Oscar winner also talked about having to deal with each other being different. "But, you know, it is living with other people who are not you," she explained. "They think differently, they want to say different stuff and I figure, that's OK, they're trying to do their gig too because, after all, this is our day job where they're paying us for our opinions so that's what we do."
It sounds like the cast just don't want to hold back, but everything is fine according to Goldberg.

Tri-Village's Alana Holsapple commits to Bluffton University volleyball team
NEW MADISON – Tri-Village senior Alana Holsapple committed to the Bluffton University volleyball team on Thursday afternoon and is excited about joining the Beavers' winning tradition.
"I'm really excited about it," Holsapple said of continuing her volleyball career in college. "I really love playing volleyball. (Tri-Village volleyball coach) Chris (Brewer) has given me a great senior year, and I just really wanted to continue playing volleyball."
Holsapple, the daughter of Pam and Dick Holsapple, was drawn to Bluffton because of its close-knit community, which reminded her of home.
"It's a private school so it's really close-knit, kind of like Tri-Village," she said. "The community is just like Tri-Village. They're all really close, and I just want to be a part of that experience."
Bluffton is an NCAA Division III program that competes in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference along with Anderson University, Defiance College, Earlham College, Franklin College, Hanover College, Manchester University, Mount St. Joseph University, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and Transylvania University.
This past season the Beavers finished 19-11 overall and 7-2 in the HCAC, reaching the semifinals of the conference tournament. They have had four consecutive winning seasons.
"They have a really good team, actually," Holsapple said. "I'm really excited. They've had a lot of success in the past years. Their coach is really good. So I'm really excited to work with him and improve my skills."
At Bluffton, Holsapple will be coached by Steve Yarnell. He was a teammate of Holsapple's high school coach, Brewer, on the University of Findlay men's volleyball team.
"I know the coach up there," Brewer said. "I played with him in college so I knew she was going to a good program, a good coach. I'm very proud of her.
"Steve is a great coach. I know he's dedicated to the program up there so I'm very happy."
Holsapple brought a lot of athleticism and leadership to the Tri-Village volleyball team, Brewer said, and he looks for her to continue with that in college.
"The leadership aspect that she brought to the team, I think that's going to be kind of sorely missed this year," he said. "Having somebody like her that's always there every open gym, every event that we do, just kind of her dedication to volleyball and how hard she works at it. And she's very athletic so in college I know she has options of where she could play. She could maybe play outside and play through the back row or she could play middle. She's just that kind of player. She's very athletic, and she's a little bit on the taller side."
Holsapple was second team all-Cross County Conference during her senior year of high school. She led Tri-Village with 109 kills and 51 aces. She was second on the team with 33 blocks and added 73 digs.
The Tri-Village senior, who plans to study psychology and become a clinical therapist for children, hopes for an enjoyable experience in college athletics.
"Just want to have fun and continue playing volleyball," she said. "I don't want it to be a stressful thing. I just want to keep getting wins and just having fun with my friends."

Yosemite closure leaves rec options; conditions set for inferno
Tom Stienstra July 25, 2018 Updated: July 25, 2018 1:43 p.m.

The evacuation and closure of Yosemite Valley and Wawona at noon Wednesday leaves the northwestern sector of the 750,000-acre park still accessible for recreation.
That includes Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, Tuolumne Meadows, as well as trailheads and lakes along Tioga Road in the high country roughly from White Wolf Campground past Tioga Lake to Lembert Dome and Tioga Pass.
The temporary closure is expected to last until Sunday, said Scott Gediman at park headquarters. Earlier this week, rangers closed Glacier Point Road and firefighters have used the Bridalveil Campground as a staging area.
In the meantime, an underlying story line is a potential nightmare scenario: Both in Yosemite and adjacent Stanislaus National Forest, a band of drought-killed pines from roughly 4,500 to 6,500-foot elevation sets up catastrophic fuel potential for wildfire. In the fall of 2013 in the same region and a similar context, the 257,000-acre Rim Fire burned so hot that some trees exploded rather than burned. Across vast areas west of the border of Yosemite, only bare ash and smoldering, burned-out holes, where the base of the trees once stood, were left behind.
The closure will be most difficult for foreign travelers, such as from Japan, across Europe, and as far away as New Zealand and Australia. Each summer, distant travelers turn their life upside down for Yosemite to book dates, airline tickets, lodging, rental vehicles and plan their dates, often with no wiggle room. Most of the towns just outside the park that provide lodging for park visitors are already long booked for peak summer. Travelers evacuated with could end up in the San Joaquin Valley from Manteca to Fresno, where highs are forecast to hit 107 on Thursday.
For those willing to hike and backpack in Yosemite's most remote wilderness, with access out of Hetch Hetchy, Tuolumne Meadows and elsewhere, there are still many options. A Wilderness Permit is required for camping.
Hetch Hetchy provides access to a trail routed out of the reservoir canyon and through Miguel Meadow and to what is called Beehive, a meadow with a trail junction. Beyond is Laurel Lake with its good trout fishing, and then as you emerge from forest to a pristine landscape set it granite, Lake Vernon. A fork leads up a ridge and far beyond to Wilma Lake and the Pacific Crest Trail, where a left turn takes you to gorgeous Benson Lake, with the largest white-sand beach of any wilderness lake in California.
Hikers out of Hetch Hetchy can also make the easy hike over the dam and to the bridge near the base of Wapama Falls. Some continue beyond for the all-day trek to Rancheria Falls (a trail camp is available), located a short distance above the headwaters of the reservoir.

In addition, trails from neighboring national forests also provide access to the northwestern section of the Yosemite wilderness. This includes on the east side of Cherry Lake in Stanislaus National Forest, with a trailhead that leads a short distance to Lake Eleanor, and in turn, beyond north to Beehive and its trail junction.
In neighboring Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, the Pacific Crest Trail enters the northwestern corner of Yosemite National Park and leads south to Forsythe Lake, overlooked by most all but a few PCT-through hikers for a night's camp.

January 13, 2023 — Blog — Press Releases — Select Revenue Measures — Tax Cuts & Jobs Act
Smith shared the specific issues and challenges that the Ways and Means Committee will tackle to build a stronger economy for working families:
"We have to have hearings amongst real Americans. I want to take field hearings of the Ways and Means Committee throughout this country to discuss what happened in 2017 with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
"We had the best economy we've seen in a generation after the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, but we also have to have tax provisions, Stuart, that help our supply chains. We need to use the tax code and trade mechanisms to make our country energy independent, and we need to use the tax code and trade policy for food security and health care security. Those are the priorities."
Smith reiterated House Republicans will never default on our debt and will listen to Americans' demands that Congress rein in the reckless spending that sparked the worst inflation crisis in a generation:
"The American people are the ones that's demanding the cut in spending. What you've seen in the last two years of Democrat one-party rule is they've added more than $10 trillion of new spending that has led to the highest inflation in 40 years. Inflation has gone up 13.9 percent since Joe Biden took the oath of office."
"They are demanding that we use every tool in the toolbox to eliminate reckless spending. If you look at the history of the debt limit, in fact, when Obama and Biden were in office, to increase the debt limit, they also passed a caps agreement. We have to have fiscal reforms moving forward. We cannot just give an unlimited credit card."

Two Sundays ago, I embarked on a "Star Trek" cruise in the middle of a global health crisis. I returned with a scent of disinfectant in my nose and a lingering faith in humanity in my heart.
To answer your first and most pressing question: NO, I DO NOT HAVE THE CORONAVIRUS.
To answer a few more: Yes, I'm completely bananas and totally untethered from reality, which is kind of the whole point of a "Star Trek" cruise. But no, I'm not insane. I do not have a death wish. And yes, I washed my hands until they fell off.
As to how this happened, and why I chose to board a floating Trekkie bacchanal in the thick of a public-health freak-out, well, I have a life, and that life involves vacations. The plans for this one went back more than a year, when my boyfriend Dave surprised me with tickets after I'd jokingly sent him a link. (Look, William Shatner will be on it! And Brent Spiner! And Marina Sirtis! And that awesome doctor from "Star Trek: Discovery" who got his neck snapped in season one! We should go! Ha ha ha!)

Back then, of course, no one had any idea that the cruise would align with a viral contagion. If someone had told Dave we'd be departing Miami for the Caribbean with thousands of other humans in a time of flu-like plague, he might have taken a pass. Short of that, we might have purchased "Star Trek" costumes in some color besides red. But who knew?
In the weeks leading up to the cruise, we received periodic updates from Royal Caribbean. On Feb. 3, we learned that anyone "traveling from, to, or through mainland China or Hong Kong less than 15 days prior to their sailing" was barred from its ships – along with anyone who'd had any kind of contact with anyone who'd traveled there, plus anyone with a Chinese or Hong Kong passport, plus anyone with "flu-like symptoms."
Added medical staff would be on board, we were told. "Special sanitizing of high traffic areas" would occur "multiple times a day." By Feb. 28, the list of banned countries included Macau, Iran and South Korea, plus the Italian regions of Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia-Romagna.
Dave and I talked about the burgeoning pandemic, the similarly mounting panic and the smartness (or not) in taking a cruise smack in the midst of both. But we didn't want to be paranoid, and the thing was already paid for. The State Department can tell Americans not to board ships, but until that directive gets backed up with money for refunds, both the cruise industry and folks who booked passage months ago will eat the losses.
And so, on Sunday, March 1, we boarded. At the kickoff party a few hours later, Spiner did a Bernie Sanders impression. Ethan Phillips, aka Neelix from "Voyager," unleashed a faux hacking cough that got everybody laughing. (Ha ha ha! Here we are, cruising into contagion! Ha ha ha!)
Kenneth Mitchell, known to "Discovery" fans for his rich portrayals of Kol and other Klingons, took the stage in a wheelchair – having gone public with his ALS diagnosis just two days previous. Looking out at the sea of nerds, all of us whooping and cheering before him, he choked up.
In that moment, the sense of enveloping community was tangible. "Star Trek" lives. As a hard-core Trekkie of 43 years, I choked up, too.
Run by Entertainment Cruise Productions, the week was packed with events designed to zap geeks into a state of bliss. Stars from numerous "Trek" iterations were there: Shatner from the original series, Spiner (Data) and Sirtis (Troi) from "Star Trek: The Next Generation," Nana Visitor (Kira) and Casey Biggs (Damar) from "Deep Space Nine," Kate Mulgrew (Janeway) and Robert Picardo (the holographic doctor) from "Voyager," Anson Mount (Pike) and Ethan Peck (Spock) from "Discovery." So many more.
There were talks, panels, Q&As, game shows, script readings, screenings, contests, concerts. Mary Chieffo from "Discovery" led improv sessions. Tim Russ from "Voyager" played guitar. Russ' castmate Garrett Wang did stand up. Gates McFadden, Dr. Crusher on "Next Generation," played Captain Kirk (hilariously) in an original-series episode reading.
And parties. So many parties, populated with so many alien life-forms. Seemingly every Trekiverse alien was there -- not just Klingons, Vulcans and Romulans, but bulbous-headed Talosians, nearly-as-bulbous-headed Vians, green-skinned Orions, blue-skinned Andorians, salt vampires, Bajorans, Cardassians, the Borg. Q himself, John de Lancie, was on board. So were cosplayers in full Q regalia.
At every turn, the ship and its occupants felt buoyed by kindness and comity in a world too often torn by dismissiveness and hate. A group called Gaaays in Spaaace sponsored countless events, and every conceivable race, stripe, lifestyle and fandom seemed represented. In that confined space, for that brief time, people could wear anything, love anyone and be who they were without judgment or snark.
And everywhere we turned: hand gel dispensers and coronavirus jokes.
As stated above, we all washed our hands constantly. Disinfected obsessively. Avoided shaking hands, deploying elbow bumps and split-fingered Vulcan salutes as the preferred forms of greeting. On this ship and likely every other last week, hand-san stations dotted the hallways. Crew members stood outside the main dining areas with colossal bottles of gel, squirting the outstretched palms of all who approached.
"Washy-washy!" yelled one of them, Jaime, an endlessly cheerful man stationed outside the central buffet. "You have the power! You have the power! Washy-washy!"
Squirt. Squirt. Squirt.
One day, Jaime the Gel Man was wielding a tiny phaser-like toy and pew-pew-pewing the incoming diners. "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations!" he declared, invoking the Vulcan philosophy of radical inclusiveness as he splatted our hands with disinfectant.
For those seven days, at least, I.D.I.C. ruled.
At a rave one night, Mitchell was lifted from his chair and crowd-surfed. I wasn't there, but I saw the videos and marveled at the trust, at the literal and figurative support, at the faith and warmth and love. Yes, it's corny, but what's cornier than "Star Trek"? Others might look at those same videos and blanch – all of those hands, all of those potential virus carriers, all of that socializing. But it's hard not to see a model of how to live and carry each other.
On the last full day of the cruise, I bumped into the actor as he invited random passersby to pose for free photos with him. I thanked him for being so generous with the fans. I told him how struck I was by the sense of community on board, by the inclusiveness, by the decency and caring and compassion. It was all so affirming -- and a much-needed reminder of what it means to be human. If only we could bring this feeling off the ship and into the outside world, I said. And Mitchell agreed.
So, yes, as we all screech ahead into the virally infected future, let us all clean our hands obsessively. But as we do, filling our nostrils with the tang of ethyl alcohol, we mustn't forget what it means to be human. We mustn't stop caring for each other, lifting each other and carrying each other forward.
With our hearts, if not our hands.

SSS loan in the Philippines is subdivided into 3 major types. The subdivision does not include emergency or quick loans like calamity loan and I'm not so sure why upon visiting the official website of the Social Security System online does not reveal anything about calamity loan but a form for which to use in apply for such when a qualified members turns victim of any type of disaster.
Anyway, I would just like to reserve my next posts to this topic as soon as I get a hold on a great idea or perhaps an opinion by some other blog resource or the SSS site itself. I hope to do that this year, 2014 as I welcome the new year of the wooden horse trying to help my kababayans and OFWs working abroad by providing relevant information regarding all matters about SSS loan.
Inside the context of member / salary loan, there are 2 parts.
The first one is all about definition of the member loan, who may qualify, how much loanable amount may be availed, payment terms, delinquency rate or interest and service fee or in private lending companies, it is called as processing fee.
The second part consists of information regarding salary loan renewal, where to pay / amortization and remittance options, what to do in case of transfer of employment, employer obligations to the SSS, payment options in case of separation from work / resignation and transfer, obligations of employer in case of such, terms and conditions or loan contract, papers and documentary requirements, filing for the salary loan and where to file the application.
There are 9 major divisions in the SSS housing loan program. These divisions are actually categories that you can use to determine which type of loan fits your classification as a member. I have compiled them all below for information purposes. I will tackle and discuss each of the categories listed below in my upcoming posts so be sure to secure a slot on my updates by subscribing to my latest articles.
Categorized into 3 different categories, if you want to know if you qualify for any of these types of business loan program by the Social Security System, I strongly suggest that you go click here. Otherwise, I'll be discussing specifically each and you may visit us here regularly for updates.
Specific loan documentary requirements, pre qualifying requisites, payment terms, interest rates, filing and application details and remittance and amortization options will also be discussed later in my update posts.

Using lidar to solve the challenges of offshore wind farms
As global interest in wind energy continues to grow, an increasing number of projects are looking out to sea, where the vast ocean expanse allows offshore wind farms to cover more area, erect larger turbines and generate more energy.
Offshore wind is expected to constitute 20% of total wind energy installations by 2025. While Europe and Asia are leading the way, the United States is making its own waves in the offshore wind market, with developers planning to implement about nine gigawatts of offshore wind by 2026.
Although offshore wind farms can produce more energy and don't have to deal with the terrain issues and residential opposition some land-based farms face, operating on the open ocean presents its own unique set of challenges.
The traditional measurement towers used to gauge winds for inland farms are difficult, if not impossible, to install and maintain at offshore sites due to the harsher conditions and remote locations. They also may be less accurate for the much larger turbines used at sea, making getting reliable wind characteristic assessments one of the biggest challenges to maximizing the potential of offshore wind farms. And considering offshore wind farms can cost
10 times as much as their onshore counterparts, getting the most out of
the turbines is key.
Enter lidar technology. Light detection and ranging equipment use pulsed laser light to remotely measure characteristics of the wind flow and data such as wind speed, wind direction, and turbulence. All of this in real time and using technology that is more versatile and adaptable to the various phases and needs of an offshore wind farm.
Let's dig a little deeper.

So you go to visit a website and a video starts playing before you can even say "hello." Ad blockers such as AdBlock block auto-playing video ads, but what about videos that aren't ads? There's a way to stop them, too.
Here's an article from HowToGeek.com on how to stop auto-playing HTML5 videos in Chrome, Opera, and Firefox.
Although Adobe Flash is on its way out, there are still plenty of websites that use it. Here's an article from PCWorld.com on how to stop auto-playing Flash videos in Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer. It's a bit dated now (the screenshots show older version of the browsers), but the general procedure remains the same.
Finally, here's a post from GHacks.net with instructions for disabling auto-playing Flash and HTML5 videos in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer, and even Vivaldi.
Where is Microsoft Edge? There is apparently no way (yet) to stop videos from auto-playing in Edge. As Edge's extension support becomes more robust and more extensions are ported over from Chrome, this may change. We'll update this article as we learn more!
What if you just want a little peace and quiet while you browse for cat videos...we mean, work? Here's how to turn off unwanted sound on web pages in Chrome and Firefox, courtesy of ZDNet. It even includes tips for disabling auto-playing videos.
Apparently the Chrome extension Disable HTML5 Autoplay is no longer being maintained by the original developer. You can probably still use it, however.
Chrome 61 (currently in development) includes a flag to disable auto-play. Finally, hope is on the way!


Now that I been in college, for the past four years and one semester left before I graduate with my Bachelor's degree I can not express how much I love my major which is English literature and Education! I also have a incredible passion for Digital Humanities! Some call me a bookworm, book nerd and it never seems to bother me at all. I find it to be a complement. Literature is more then just reading a story with characters. Their is a spiritual element to it and it helps you grow and gives you the tools "to fight" as one of my favorite English professors told me! BOOKS AND LEARNING MAKE ME HAPPY!!!

Home RecipesWhat is Haloumi Cheese?
A salty white sheep or cow's milk cheese from Greece or Turkey, haloumi is usually eaten grilled. It's pure, unadulterated deliciousness. I typically see haloumi baked or grilled on restaurant menus, which, for some reason, never appealed to me that much. But one night when we were at dinner in Aspen, Colo., I ordered the most addictive grilled haloumi salad and haven't been able to get it off my mind since.
Haloumi is a great option for vegetarians, since grilling gives it such a satisfying golden crust on the outside and melty goodness on the inside…even carnivores wouldn't miss the meat! As a main course option, I skewer it with vegetables and grill, or serve on crusty bread with pesto and eggplant. For this first-course salad, I took a cue from Cypress tradition and served it with cold sweet watermelon, though I added peppery arugula, mint-infused oil and balsamic to the mix. This would be such a welcome and unexpected addition to summer barbecue menus.

Boxers Remember Muhammad Ali
On The Trail Of The Wily Wild Hog
Andrew Herrington slips on a battered green backpack, stashes a .308 bolt-action rifle under his arm and steps off a boat onto the steep, rocky shores of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
"It's about a half-mile that we're going to walk up to for those traps," he says.
In almost every circumstance, hunting is strictly forbidden at national parks. But there's an exception to that rule. Herrington's job is to hunt at Great Smoky Mountains National Park for an invasive and hugely destructive species: feral hogs.

Don't Care About National Parks? The Park Service Needs You To
By Nate Rott • Mar 9, 2016
No matter where you are in Tucson, Ariz., you're no more than 20 miles from Saguaro National Park. The park and its tall, pronged, namesake cacti literally surround Tucson. There's the rounded top of the park's cactus-studded Wasson Peak to the west, the park's desert-to-forest Rincon Mountain Range to the east and about a million people living between.
But if you go around Tucson — to its historic barrio neighborhoods, swap meets or hiking trails — and ask people about their neighboring national park, you might be surprised.

National Parks Have A Long To-Do List But Can't Cover The Repair Costs
Driving through the gold-brown savanna of Joshua Tree National Park in Southern California, past its Dr. Seuss-like trees and water-carved rocks, it's easy to see why the national parks have been called America's Best Idea.
Spend a few hours with some of the park's employees, like Cultural Resources Branch Chief Jason Theuer, and you'll see that national parks are also another thing: expensive. There is a nearly $12 billion maintenance backlog of work that needs be done but isn't because of limited money.

Fight To Save The Sage Grouse Finds Friends In All Corners Of The West
The greater sage grouse is a peculiar and distinctly Western bird. It's about the size of a chicken and about as adaptable as the dodo bird, which is to say it's not very adaptable at all — at least not in a human-driven time scale.
In biological terms, the greater sage grouse is perfectly adapted for its habitat: the rolling hills of knee-high silver scrub that's sometimes called the sagebrush sea. It's the oft-forgotten parts of the fast-changing West — The Big Empty, as settlers used to call it.
Beneath Alaskan Wildfires, A Hidden Threat: Long-Frozen Carbon's Thaw
The Fish Creek Fire in Interior Alaska isn't much to look at. It's about 7,500 acres in size, sitting about an hour south of Fairbanks near the twisty Tanana River. The main fire front — the made-for-TV part, with torching trees and pulses of orange heat — flamed out more than a week ago, leaving behind a quiet charred landscape.

"Extreme." "Unprecedented." "Historic." Those are just a few of the words being used to describe the start of this year's fire season in North America.
The wildfires are centered in the northwest of the continent, but their consequences are far-reaching. Thick smoke has blanketed parts of Wisconsin and North Dakota. It's triggered air alerts in Minnesota and Montana and muddied skies as far south as Tennessee and Colorado.

Hoffenheim hobble to Winter Championship
The season's surprise package will go into the winter break on top but a tired draw against Schalke hints at tougher times ahead

And that was that. One of the most intriguing and aesthetically pleasing first halves of the season went out with a bit of a whimper on Sunday, when Hoffenheim limped to the honorary title of Herbstmeister (autumn champion) against nine-man Schalke in Mannheim. The laboured 1–1 draw against the Bundesliga's defensive experts proved that even the mighty Hoff can have an off-day. But at least there was plenty of drama. S04 had come to contain their hosts with a myriad of holding midfielders and they did very well. In fact they almost won the match thanks to Gerald Asamoah's strike but didn't do themselves any favours by fouling all over the pitch like an incontinent police horse. Orlando Engelaar was rightly sent off and cemented his reputation as football's new Milan Baros: a 7ft moving warning sign against ever — ever — judging a player by a couple of half-decent performances in European championships (Andrei "Platini" Arshavin, anyone? But let's not disgress).
Youri Mulder and Mike Büskens also received their marching orders from the referee Peter Gagelmann, despite the fact they never once touched ball nor opponent. The two assistant coaches were dismissed for dissent on the touchline.
The Schalke midfielder Jermain Jones, who had played in a Rooneyesque funk all afternoon, felt hard done by after getting sent off for a second bookable offence, a patently silly lunge from behind. "I clearly got the ball," he insisted. "I know I can't jump into my opponent's legs when I'm already on a yellow. I'm not stupid." Of course not, JJ, of course not. Not at all stupid man that he is, Jones continued to berate Gagelmann and the 1899 bench on his way to the changing room and may be banned for more than one match as a consequence. "It was a bit emotional and over the top, perhaps I should apologise," he conceded later.
Hoffenheim, though, weren't really at their usual nippy best and needed a Manuel Neuer gaffe in goal to equalise. Selim Teber's rather tame free-kick should not have troubled a keeper who has eyes on Germany's No1 shirt.
All this pacy one-touch vertical football in recent months seemed to have tired the new boys a little bit. Maybe their late defeat away to Bayern had also left some psychological dents. The manager, Ralf Rangnick, who had allowed himself a bout of nostalgia before the game against his former club — "Schalke is still in my heart" — found little solace in the prospect of hibernation at the very top. "I would have preferred two more points", he said dryly.
It's exactly how you'd expect him to greet the most sensational Hinrunde (first half) ever played by a newly promoted team. "Autumn champion in December? It's a pseudo title," Rangnick insisted a few days ago. Technically he is right but benefactor Dietmar Hopp was not alone in noting the symbolic relevance. "I'm happy and proud," said the software billionaire with the cockatoo haircut. "We're level on points but still ahead of Bayern. We're no longer a village club, we're the club of the Rhein-Neckar metropolitan area." And a little more, as well. According to a poll by the respected Forsa institute, 63% of German football fans want them to win the championship next May, compared with 17% who prefer Bayern. TSG Hoffenheim 1899, who were despised for their money and success in the third and second division, and still widely dismissed as a "test tube club" back in August, have become more popular than they can have ever imagined. "We only had this one chance — to win people over with our football," said the general manager, Jan Schindelmeiser, yesterday.
TSG's fantastic home record — seven wins, two draws — coupled with devastating attacking football and the best scouting network in Europe have set the benchmark so far. Hoffenheim might be in middle of nowhere in the literal sense but they're at the same time precisely where the whole of German football needs to be in the future. In their first ever season in the top flight, they haven't merely coped with the step up, they've actually led the way. The message is both incredibly profound and encouraging: "On the football pitch, beauty is not something you're born with, it can be learned". Only Bayern managed to keep up with them, largely thanks to excellent fitness levels and the irrepressible qualities of Franck Ribéry.
The weekend had something of the last day at school about it — half the players were looking forward to a couple of weeks in the sun, the other half just plain knackered. Hertha, the biggest surprise success apart from Hoffenheim, trounced poor Karlsruhe 4–0 without ever working up a sweat. Hamburg (against Frankfurt), Dortmund (against Gladbach) and Bremen (against Wolfsburg) just about scraped wins while Leverkusen couldn't beat Cottbus, the masters of negativity, at home — they conceded a late, late equaliser by Jiyai Shao. The manager, Bruno Labbadia, was upset with a leaden, nervy performance that brought back uncomfortable memories of the Neverkusen years. "It feels like a defeat," he said after the 1–1 draw. "We were only hoofing it in the final minutes, that's not our game. I don't understand how we could lose our way so badly. Maybe it is immaturity". The draw saw them slump to fifth place and ensured that their Christmas will be spent worrying about the future. "Doubts about their progress and fear of losing will accompany them in the break," wrote Süddeutsche.
Bayern, however, don't do doubts. Another Michael Rensing howler in the final minute gifted the newly resilient Stuttgart a 2–2 draw on Saturday when an away win for the champions had looked a formality, but the visitors were quick to blame others for their inconvenience. Uli Hoeness was unhappy with the league schedule ("a joke") and couldn't understand why Bayern were not afforded another day of rest after their 3–2 win in Lyon. "I don't think Hoffenheim and Schalke were busy in midweek," he grumbled. Jürgen Klinsmann, meanwhile, was busy pleading the case of right-back Massimo Oddo who was rightly sent off for a badly executed kung fu kick five minutes before the end. "He never saw the opponent coming," claimed Klinsmann, unconvincingly. The furore about the "can't cross, can't tackle, can't pass" Italian on loan from Milan was obviously designed to deflect from Bayern's pedestrian showing in the absence of the Pink Panther. Halfway through the season, Klinsmann's "revolutionary" football is still as dependent on Ribéry as Hitzfeld's cautious, administrative system had been before.
The Swabian will have to show that he can really give credence to his reformist agenda. Otherwise, his detractors will feel even more emboldened. "Winning the title with Bayern is not an achievement," wrote Peter Ahrens in Spiegel Online. "The achievement is not winning the title with Bayern. I still have the confidence that Klinsmann might do just that."
We'll see, in 2009. Have a good one.
Results: Dortmund 2–1 Gladbach; Bremen 2–1 Wolfsburg; Hamburg 1–0 Frankfurt; Stuttgart 2–2 Bayern; Leverkusen 1–1 Cottbus; Hannover 1–1 Bielefeld; Hertha BSC 4-0 Karlsruhe; Bochum 1–2 Köln; Hoffenheim 1–1 Schalke.

Branded generics account for more than 80% of the market in India and almost 50% in China vs. just over 10% in the United States.
Branded generic pharmaceuticals, often original medicines no longer on patent, offer treatment at a lower cost but are equal in terms of quality, efficacy and safety – with a reliable supply.
By 2020, Brazil's and India's middle classes, largely consumers of branded generics, are expected to increase to 9.4 million and 200 million, respectively.
In emerging markets – where incomes are rising, middle classes are growing and many pay out of pocket for healthcare – there is a preference for branded generics.
Emerging markets currently account for more than 50% of global sales by volume and will reach 55% by 2020 as market access grows.
Abbott's pharmaceuticals business provides patients in emerging markets access to high-quality, affordable medicines. We have an endless drive to improve medicines and bring meaningful solutions to help people live healthier, fuller lives. We have distinguished ourselves by investing in emerging markets, which have rapidly growing middle classes, fast-growing and aging populations, rising chronic disease and a strong demand for recognized, quality medicines.
What's On Abbott's Branded Generics Shelf?
*Indications and product availability vary by country. Products are not available in the United States. Brand rankings are based on ex-U.S. sales, per IMS.
Abbott's established pharmaceuticals business brings value to patients and customers globally through a growing portfolio of high-quality medicines, by building country-specific portfolios of trusted products to suit local patient needs.

Abbott is a top-10 pharmaceutical company in Latin America and holds No. 1 positions in Chile, Colombia and Peru. Abbott's strong footprint in the region includes manufacturing and R&D facilities in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, enabling us to bring trusted high-quality medicines, tailored to the people who rely on them.
Abbott continues to deepen its footprint in Russia and is among the top-5 branded generics companies in Russia, following the strategic acquisition of Veropharm in 2014.
India comprises more than 20% of Abbott's branded generic pharmaceutical sales, driven by locally relevant portfolio expansion. About 80% of India's population lacks health insurance, meaning they rely on doctors to help them choose medicines that are affordable but also high quality.
By 2020, three out of four urban households in China will be classified as middle class. Abbott has been part of this fast-changing and growing healthcare market for two decades and continues to meet the evolving needs of the country with localized branded generic solutions.
A global presence with localized distribution channels ensures reliable supply and distribution of high-quality products.

Abbott's global scale and local presence position the company for long-term success in emerging markets. Global scale provides a solid base to remain competitive, particularly when it comes to manufacturing and innovation efficiencies.

On any list of favorite or most impactful faculty members, Professor David Madsen, PhD, '69, hovers near the top. "I hope he realizes the legacy he has created at his alma mater, the countless minds he has expanded and the unmatched role he's played as torchbearer for this community and in the lives of his students," says alumnus Izzy Gardon, '16.
With a degree in Latin and Greek, Dr. Madsen graduated from Seattle University in 1969 and joined the faculty in 1981 as an assistant professor of humanities at Matteo Ricci College. In 1982, Dr. Madsen joined the University Honors Program and five years later the history department tenure track. He was promoted to associate professor in 1996 and served as director of the Honors Program for eight years. Moderator of the university's Naef Scholars, he has also served as the Grand Marshall at commencement for the past 18 years, a post he plans to hold until he retires from the university in 2019.
"As an undergrad, I had faculty who modeled what a professor should be," Dr. Madsen says. Like those who taught him, he is demanding of his students, but is particularly interested in helping them succeed. He encourages them to meet with him in his office and believes that it is only through that kind of personal contact that a true relationship can be formed.
Considering himself more teacher than scholar, Dr. Madsen makes himself available for committee assignments. "Dave is a go-to guy whenever someone needs service to the university. Dave has probably served on more committees at all levels of the university than anyone I have ever known or likely will know in my tenure here," says Professor Tom Taylor, chair of the history department.
Dr. Madsen's entire family graduated from Seattle U, including his wife, Mary Anne, '95, and their two children. Dr. Madsen and Mary Anne are loyal donors and members of the Legacy Society.

Dodgers to extend stadium netting after young fan struck in head by foul ball, team president says
Jack BaerYahoo Sports
June 24, 2019, 10:50 PM UTC
Less than 24 hours after a young fan was hospitalized after being struck in the head by a foul ball at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles Dodgers president Stan Kasten said the team will soon extend the stadium's foul ball netting.
Kasten said that plans to extend the netting past the ends of each dugout would be in announced in the next couple of weeks, according to the Orange County Register:
"We have been talking for some time with different providers and looking at different options," Kasten said Monday. "Surely we will be expanding netting. I don't know yet the final configuration. Obviously there are some different choices to be made and different products which each come with their own set of challenges."
Kasten said the timing of the installation of additional netting has not been determined yet but it seems "likely" the Dodgers will be able to do the project before the end of this season.
"I can't say that for sure although I think it's likely," Kasten said. "For sure, something is going to be done. As for the exact timing, I don't know that yet."
The young woman was hit by a Cody Bellinger foul ball while sitting just past the end of the first base protective netting. She was initially given an ice pack by first aid personnel, but was soon taken to a nearby hospital for precautionary exams.

Bellinger was visibly disturbed by the incident, and advocated for extending the nets after the game.
"I would assume that would be a smart decision, just to protect those people in the front row that don't have reaction time," Bellinger said, according to the Register. "I mean, I'm over at first base and I've got to be ready, and they're 10 feet over from me."
Bellinger isn't the only player to endorse extending the netting, as other players whose foul balls have hit fans and the head of the MLB Players Association have pushed for the extension.
The Dodgers' extension of the netting also comes less than a year after a 79-year-old woman died after being hit in the head by a foul ball at Dodger Stadium. It should be noted that fan was actually seated behind the protective netting; the foul ball was reportedly hit just over the netting.
How far will the Dodger Stadium netting be extended?
Kasten didn't make any commitments on how far the new Dodger Stadium netting will be extended, so it's hard to say just how much a difference the change will make. The nets reaching only a few more yards down the line would likely have protected the young fan hit Sunday, but it would still leave many fans at risk of being struck by line drives.
The Dodgers are joining the Washington Nationals, Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers in extending the netting just after all MLB teams finally reached the milestone of netting that extended to the ends of the dugouts.
The conversation over foul ball netting has been going on for some time in baseball, something Kasten credited as helping make it easier for teams continuing to push the nets down the foul lines:
"I think it was expected in baseball because all of us have been talking about doing more. All of the teams have. It wasn't a surprise at all," Kasten said of those announcements. "One of the things that has changed and has been helpful is that the modern-day fan has more of an expectation of seeing netting than they ever have before. And that's useful to know because customer opinions are very important."

RIP to Brian Glover, 52, former owner of the AAA Fresno Grizzlies. He was killed in a one-car accident near Portland, Ore. on Jan. 24. Glover was an initial investor in Fresno Baseball Club LLC, which purchased the team in 2005, and remained with the Grizzlies as a managing partner until 2013.
According to the Fresno Bee, Glover had invested in several other Fresno teams, including the Falcons (hockey) and Fuego (soccer). His BMW crashed into an embankment in a rural area north of Portland, and Glover died at the scene. Police investigators believed he may have suffered a medical emergency prior to the crash.
