*sigh* Fundamentalist community, let me pass on some advice to you I learned from the atheistic community: If you have set yourself on fire, do not run. Okay? Okay?? Please? Look, D, you had two months to say to Harvard in private emails, "Im sorry, I shouldnt have been using that animation in my paid presentations. I wont use it again. I really do like 'Inner Life', though, and would love to use it in classroom presentations, from the BioVisions site, if that is acceptable." I sat here, for two months, waiting for that to happen, anything to happen, and it didnt. Two months, on your own terms, you could have written a similar post to yesterdays. I would have given you the benefit of the doubt-- maybe you didnt know the credits werent visible to the audience, and I wouldnt have said a word beyond this, as its Harvards problem, not mine. This would have been a funny joke to those of us involved in dealing with you people, but it would have been a PR non-issue for you. But after you set yourself on fire, you didnt douse it out with a bucket of ice cold reality and accountability. You ran. And youre still running. Why not just state "I screwed up. Sorry everyone." and move on? Why the excuses? Why the denial? Why the passive language? Why the vague words and cryptic capitalizations? Why the writes and rewrites of your 'press release'? We know it wasnt written of your own volition, or it would have been done *before* Harvard had to take action. And, your behavior before this, regarding this issue, is not indicative of someone who made an innocent mistake. Its weird. So what with this frantic running? Is the inability to say "I was wrong" a pathological feature of Creationists? Or are you hiding something? Or is it both? Or is it more? And now we get Casey weighing in on the issue, according to cre8id at AboveTopSecret.com-- PBS/NOVA online - Intelligent Design on trial: ...to my knowledge, Discovery Institute has neither authorized nor received nor is making use of any presentation that used that animation. We have had nothing to do with creating or selling a DVD of that animation, nor do we have anything to do with placing that presentation on Google Video.I dont know what he is talking about with that last part, but the first part sounds similar to DIs claims post-Dover ("WE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH DOVER!"). Maybe Luskin is telling the truth. Maybe this was a magic non-science Creation-friendly narration with convenient edits that AiG or ICR would have killed for... but only Dembski could find it... but he cant tell us where... and he didnt share it with anyone... and its subsequently disappeared from the Internet... But that simply isnt what Ive been told. Maybe this was all a silly Dembski mistake, blown out of proportion due to his decision to remain silent... But what if we find more videos of more DI fellows, presenting this animation? *shrug* If youve set yourself on fire, do not run, DI. If youve done it, better admit it to Harvard now, apologize, and move on.

Bible-black with a blinding white logo raging across the chest. It’s the time honoured Black Band Tee. Every band has one. If you’re in a band and you ain’t got a Black Band Tee then you ain’t even in a band, you’re in a sham! And if you’re a fan of a band and you don’t own the Black Band Tee then what kind of fan are you? Hey?? Sort it out!! Grab yourself a tees worth of black cotton power and put it to the test. Good for you. White as the driven snow, with a filthy black logo centre stage, this tee is cut to make you look like you just got back from the marina where you burned your billion dollar super-yaught down to the waterline just to freak the snot out of all the other billionaires. Good for you. Want to be a Civil Civic model? Send us photos of yourself/friends/animals in a CC Tee and we might just use it here.

Nice, but they’re still white, conventionally attractive, not visually trans* or disabled, neither of them have visable scarring, stretchmarks, etc, I mean, even on a basic body-positive note, neither of them have hair legs or armpits. I’ve yet to see ONE graphic along these lines that actually include anything other than the chubby/skinny thing. Let’s see some fat, scarred and stretchmarked black trans women with prosthetic limbs or dwarfism or something, and hairy legs, maybe she’s got a shaped afro or something, natural black hair is looked down on by society. Then I’ll get as excited as the rest of tumblr by these nicely drawn graphics. YOU PEOPLE ARE NEVER HAPPY A RE YOU IS THIS FUCKING BETTER??!?@»@?

क्या चाँद तक की दौड़ वास्तविक थी?; जून 1994; साइंटिफिक अमेरिकन मैगजीन; लॉग्सडन, डुपास द्वारा; 8 पेज पच्चीस साल पहले, 20 जुलाई, 1969 को, नील ए आर्मस्ट्रांग ने चाँद की सतह पर पहला कदम रखा। उस घटना ने शीत युद्ध में अमेरिका की राजनैतिक और तकनीकी जीत साबित की। इसके बाद भी, सोवियत सरकार ज़ोर देती रही कि सोवियत संघ ने कभी चाँद पर उतरने की योजना नहीं बनाई थी। इसलिए उनका तर्क था कि चाँद पर इंसान भेजने की प्रतियोगिता एकतरफ़ा थी। हकीकत कुछ और थी; हाल ही में उस काल की गोपनीय जानकारी और ख्रुश्चेव और ब्रेज़नेव के सोवियत अंतरिक्ष कार्यक्रम के प्रमुख प्रतिभागियों की गवाई साबित करती है कि चाँद की होड़ वास्तविक थी। नए साक्ष्य बताते हैं कि व्यक्तिगत प्रतिद्वंदिता, बदलते राजनीतिक गठबंधन और अफ़सरशाही की अक्षमता चाँद पर उतरने के सोवियत कार्यक्रम में विफलताओं और देरी का कारण बनी। इसके विपरीत, अमेरिकी प्रयास को लगातार मज़बूत राजनीतिक और जनता का समर्थन मिलता रहा। नेशनल एरोनॉटिक्स एंड स्पेस एडमिनिस्ट्रेशन और उसके ठेकेदार दल भी हुनरमंद और अत्यधिक प्रेरित कार्यकताओं और प्रबंधकों से भरपूर थे। मानव अंतरिक्ष अन्वेषण में प्रारंभिक सोवियत नेतृत्व के बावजूद, संसाधनों के अधिक उदार और प्रभावशाली आवंटन के साथ मिलकर, इन कारकों ने अमेरिका को चाँद पर सबसे पहले पहुँचने की प्रतियोगिता जीतने में सक्षम बनाया।

हौल्टन, मेन - हाल ही में अरूस्टुक काउंटी में किया गया एक अनुपालन जाँच यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए कि अल्कोहल बेचने वाले व्यापार मेन के शराब कानूनों का पालन कर रहे हैं निराशाजनक समाचार लेकर आया है, क्योंकि लक्षित प्रतिष्ठानों में से लगभग आधी पुलिस द्वारा उद्धृत की गई। अरूस्टुक काउंटी शेरिफ विभाग के डिप्टी क्रिस मालंबॉर्ग ने इस हफ्ते की शुरुआत में कहा था कि अंडरएज ड्रिंकिंग, एडल्ट कॉन्सिक्वेंस अभियान के तहत शराब कानून के अनुपालन के लिए काउंटी के आसपास के रेस्टोरेंट और स्टोर सहित 33 प्रतिष्ठानों की जाँच की गई। उनमें से, 13 को उल्लंघन के लिए समन किया गया। अरुस्तुक काउंटी को पिछले महीने राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग यातायात सुरक्षा प्रशासन और अमेरिकी परिवहन विभाग द्वारा प्रायोजित कम उम्र के बच्चों द्वारा शराब पीने की परियोजना में भाग लेने के लिए देश में केवल चार साइटों में से एक के रूप में चुना गया था। सामुदायिक आवाज़, एक काउंटी स्तरीय संगठन जो युवाओं के बीच मादक द्रव्यों के सेवन पर अंकुश लगाने का काम करता है, को $325,000 का अनुदान दिया गया था, जिसका उपयोग नाबालिकों के हाथों से शराब छुड़ाने के लिए एक पायलट परियोजना पर 11 कानून प्रवर्तन समूहों के साथ काम करने के लिए किया जा रहा है। मालंबॉर्ग ने कहा कि हालिया अनुपालन जांच पहल का हिस्सा थी और काउंटी में नाबालिग शराबियों और नाबालिग शराब पीने और ड्राइविंग से होने वाली मौतों की संख्या को कम करने के लिए आयोजित की जा रही है। उन पर शराब उपलब्ध कराने वालों को रोकने के लिए भी अभियान चलाया जा रहा है। नेशनल हाईवे ट्रैफिक सेफ्टी एडमिनिस्ट्रेशन के अनुसार, किशोरों में कुल मिलाकर जनसंख्या की तुलना में शराब से संबंधित दुर्घटना में मौत का खतरा अधिक होता है, इस तथ्य के बावजूद कि वे हर राज्य में न्यूनतम शराब पीने की उम्र से कम हैं। 2006 में दुर्घटनाओं में मारे गए 15 से 20 वर्षीय ड्राइवरों में से तैंतीस प्रतिशत ने शराब पी रखी थी। मेन के मादक द्रव्य दुरुपयोग कार्यालय के अनुसार, 2008 के एक राज्यव्यापी सर्वेक्षण में बताया गया कि सातवीं से 12वीं कक्षा तक के मेन के 48.8 प्रतिशत छात्रों ने शराब का सेवन किया था। शोध में यह भी दिखाया गया है कि 15 साल की उम्र से पहले शराब पीना शुरू करने वाले 40 प्रतिशत बच्चे अपने जीवन में किसी न किसी समय शराब के दुरुपयोग या निर्भरता का विकास करेंगे। मालंबॉर्ग ने बताया कि 2006 से 2010 तक मेन में 142 लोगों की मौत एक दुर्घटना के परिणामस्वरूप हुई जिसमें 15 से 20 वर्ष का ड्राइवर शामिल था जिसका रक्त शराब की मात्रा 0.01 या उससे अधिक थी। अकेले 2010 में, मेन में यातायात दुर्घटनाओं में शामिल 15 से 20 वर्ष के 22 प्रतिशत ड्राइवरों का रक्त शराब की मात्रा 0.01 या उससे अधिक थी। मालंबोर्ग ने कहा, "एक युवा व्यक्ति द्वारा किया गया एक लापरवाह निर्णय जीवन को समाप्त कर सकता है और नष्ट कर सकता है।" "हम जानते हैं कि हमें और काम करना है, लेकिन अगर हमारे पास सिर्फ एक किशोर तक पहुँचने का मौका है जो अन्यथा शराब पीने और गाड़ी चलाने के लिए चुनता, तो हमने कुछ हासिल किया है और उम्मीद है कि जीवन बदल गया है। और अगर हम शराब तक उनकी पहुँच को कम करने में सक्षम हैं, यह समस्या के पहले भाग से निपटने जैसा है।" अनुपालन के लिए समन किए गए 13 प्रतिष्ठानों के साथ, अरूस्टोक में अतिरिक्त सड़क गश्त के परिणामस्वरूप युवा परिवहन और शराब रखने के उद्धरण मिले, साथ ही नाबालिगों को उपभोग करने के लिए जगह देने वाले वयस्कों और नाबालिगों को उपभोग करने के लिए शराब के लिए उद्धरण मिले। मालंबॉर्ग के अनुसार, शराब से संबंधित अन्य उल्लंघनों से निपटा गया क्योंकि बढ़ी हुई गश्त का परिणाम ड्राइविंग उल्लंघन से लेकर नशीली दवाओं के उल्लंघन तक था। उन्होंने कहा, ''इस अभियान के लिए स्थानीय प्रवर्तन अधिकारी और सामुदायिक साझेदार एक साथ आए और मेरा मानना ​​है कि यह एक जबरदस्त सफलता थी।'' "उम्मीद है, हमारे समुदाय के किशोर अब जानते हैं कि हम कम उम्र में शराब पीने को बर्दाश्त नहीं करेंगे, और ठीक उसी तरह महत्वपूर्ण रूप से, वयस्क और संगठन जो शराब उपलब्ध कराते हैं, वे जानते हैं कि उन्हें भी गंभीर परिणामों का सामना करना पड़ता है।" यह पहली बार नहीं है कि अनुपालन जांच से पता चला है कि काउंटी के सभी व्यवसाय राज्य के शराब कानूनों को लागू नहीं कर रहे हैं। मार्च 2011 में, शेरिफ विभाग ने एक ऑपरेशन का निरीक्षण किया था जिसमें नाबालिगों ने मैकवाहो से फोर्ट केंट तक 43 व्यवसायों में शराब खरीदने का प्रयास किया था। शेरिफ जिम माडोर के अनुसार, उल्लंघन के लिए प्रतिष्ठानों में से तेईस ने नाबालिगों को शराब बेची और उन्हें समन किया गया। 2010 की गर्मियों के दौरान कैरिबू में, पुलिस विभाग ने 12 स्थानीय व्यवसायों का चयन किया जहां शराब परोसी जाती है। कैरिबू चीफ माइक गहगन के अनुसार, पचास प्रतिशत व्यवसाय परीक्षण में विफल रहे और नाबालिग को शराब बेची। गहगन ने उस समय कहा था कि वह परिणामों से स्तब्ध थे, खासकर इसलिए क्योंकि विभाग शहर के व्यवसायों को मुफ्त में जिम्मेदार पेय प्रशिक्षण प्रदान करता है। सामुदायिक आवाज़ परियोजना प्रबंधक, मिशेल प्लाउर्ड चेस ने शुक्रवार दोपहर कहा कि वह भी परिणामों से निराश हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि जनवरी में किए गए अनुपालन जाँच में लगभग 50 प्रतिशत विफलता दर का पता चला। यह दर इस बार थोड़ी कम है। "मैं चाहती हूं कि एक जादुई बटन होता क्योंकि मैं इसे दबाती हूं," उसने कहा। "हम इस क्षेत्र के व्यवसायों को वर्ष में दो बार प्रशिक्षण देना जारी रखेंगे और हम अनुपालन जांच जारी रखने जा रहे हैं।" परियोजना प्रबंधक ने कहा कि उनका मानना ​​है कि उन व्यवसायों के नामों को तुरंत सूचीबद्ध करना उपयोगी होगा जिन्हें समन किया गया था ताकि माता-पिता और अन्य लोगों को पता चल सके कि उन्हें उद्धृत किया गया था। लेकिन अतीत में मामले अदालत में निपटारे तक कोई भी नाम जारी नहीं किया गया है, और प्लाउर्ड चेस के पास उन व्यवसायों की सूची नहीं है जिन्हें इस दौर की जाँच के दौरान उद्धृत किया गया था। उल्लंघन के लिए दंड के परिणामस्वरूप जुर्माना, लाइसेंस निलंबन या दोनों हो सकते हैं। स्टोर के लिए जुर्माना पहले उल्लंघन के लिए $550 और $1,500 के बीच से शुरू होता है, जो अपराधों की संख्या पर निर्भर करता है। अनुपालन जांच की अगली लहर इस महीने शुरू

|पृष्ठ (1) 1 का - 07/10/12||ईमेल आर्टिकल||पृष्ठ प्रिंट करें| आज, न्यूज़ कॉर्प ने ऑफिशियली दो अलग सार्वजनिक व्यापार वाली कंपनियों में बंटने की योजना की घोषणा की। एक कंपनी न्यूज़ कॉर्प की तेजी से बढ़ती हुई फिल्म और टेलीविजन संपत्ति पर फोकस करेगी, जिसमें 20वीं सेंचुरी फॉक्स फिल्म स्टूडियो, फॉक्स न्यूज़ चैनल और फॉक्स ब्रॉडकास्ट न्यूज़ शामिल है। दूसरी कंपनी में न्यूज़ कॉर्प की प्रकाशन संपत्ति शामिल होगी, जैसे कि वॉल स्ट्रीट जर्नल, द टाइम्स ऑफ लंदन और हार्पर कॉलिंस बुक प्रकाशन। ग्रेट ब्रिटेन में फोन हैकिंग स्कैंडल के मद्देनजर कंपनी की प्रकाशन संपत्ति हाल ही में संघर्ष कर रही है। न्यूज़ कॉर्प की पिछली त्रैमासिक आय रिपोर्ट में, मनोरंजन राजस्व 6.2 बिलियन डॉलर तक पहुंच गया, जबकि प्रकाशन संपत्ति केवल 2 बिलियन डॉलर ही लाई। मुख्य कार्यकारी रूपर्ट मुरोडच दोनों कंपनियों के चेयरमैन के रूप में कार्य करेंगे। वह मनोरंजन-केंद्रित कंपनी के लिए CEO भी होंगे। अभी तक इस पर कोई शब्द नहीं आया है कि प्रकाशन पक्ष पर CEO के रूप में कौन कार्य करेगा, लेकिन मर्डोक ने इस डर को खारिज किया है कि प्रकाशन कंपनी अपने आप नहीं चल पाएगी। लेन-देन पूरा होने में लगभग एक साल का समय लगेगा। विभाजन की संभावना की खबरों के कारण पिछले कुछ दिनों में न्यूज़ कॉर्प के शेयरों में तेजी से वृद्धि हुई है। हालांकि, इस समय शेयर की कीमत 22.07 डॉलर प्रति शेयर के हिसाब से 1.52% तक गिर गई है। |न्यूज कॉर्प ने विभाजन की पुष्टि की| स्रोत: ग्रैबनेटवर्क (c)। सभी अधिकार सुरक्षित'

सोमवार,26 नवंबर,2012 को प्रसारित --- 11:27 a.m. मेडिसन शहर से प्रेस विज्ञप्ति : यह हॉलिडे रिसाइकिलिंग का समय है। मेडिसन निवासियों के पास अपने धन्यवाद भोज का तेल और गैर-काम कर रहे हॉलिडे लाइटों और एक्सटेंशन कॉर्ड को स्ट्रीट्स डिविजन की ड्रॉप ऑफ साइट्स पर रिसाइकिल करने का मौका है। मेडिसन रिसाइकलिंग समन्वयक जॉर्ज ड्रेकमैन ने कहा, 'हम जानते हैं कि ऐसे कई लोग हैं जिनके पास अपने थैंक्सगिविंग टर्की को फ्राई करने के बाद बहुत सारा तेल बच जाता है।' "हम उन्हें यह जानकर बहुत उत्साहित हैं कि हमारे क्षेत्र में कारों और ट्रकों के लिए उस पुराने कुकिंग ऑयल को ईंधन में बदलने का मौका दे सकेंगे।" अपने कुकिंग ऑयल को रिसाइकिल करने के इच्छुक मेडिसन निवासियों को इसे स्ट्रीट्स डिविजन की दो ड्रॉप ऑफ साइटों में से एक पर लाना होगा। साइटें पश्चिम की ओर 1501 W. बैजर Rd. और पूर्व की ओर 4602 Sycamore Av. पर स्थित हैं। इन दोनों स्थानों पर विशेष कुकिंग ऑयल संग्रह टैंक उपलब्ध हैं। ड्रेकमैन ने कहा, ''हर साल हजारों गैलन पुराने कुकिंग ऑयल को भूभरण में डाल दिया जाता है या नाली में बहा दिया जाता है। जब से हमने अपना कुकिंग ऑयल कार्यक्रम शुरू किया है, हमने हजारों कुकिंग ऑयल को रिकवर किया है। " अब हम इस संसाधन को पुनः प्राप्त कर सकते हैं और इसका उपयोग विदेशी तेल पर हमारी निर्भरता को कम करने और वायु प्रदूषण को कम करने के लिए कर सकते हैं।" कुकिंग ऑयल को 1501 W. बैजर Rd. या 4602 Sycamore Av. पर लाया जाना चाहिए। इसे कचरे के तेल स्थलों पर नहीं ले जाना चाहिए। मेडिसन रिसाइकलिंग समन्वयक जॉर्ज ड्रेकमैन ने कहा, 'हम जानते हैं कि कई निवासी नई ऊर्जा कुशल एलईडी अवकाश रोशनी में बदल रहे हैं और उनके पास बहुत सारे पुराने लाइट स्ट्रिंग हैं जिनका वे निपटान करना चाहेंगे।' ''हमें उन्हें उनकी पुरानी रोशनी के लिए एक रीसाइक्लिंग विकल्प प्रदान करते हुए खुशी हो रही है।'' मेडिसन कार्यक्रम के हिस्से के रूप में किसी भी लाइट स्ट्रिंग के साथ-साथ पुराने एक्सटेंशन कॉर्ड को भी स्वीकार करेगा। बड़े बल्बों वाली पुरानी रोशनी वाले निवासियों को उन बल्बों को हटाने के लिए कहा जाता है। मिनी लाइट्स के तारों से बल्ब हटाने की जरूरत नहीं है। ड्रेकमैन ने कहा, 'हम मेडिसन के अपने इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स रिसाइकिलर कैस्केड एसेट मैनेजमेंट के माध्यम से सभी पुरानी रोशनी को रिसाइकिल करेंगे।' ''हम साइटों पर रोशनी के लिए विशेष रूप से चिह्नित इलेक्ट्रॉनिक संग्रह कंटेनर रखेंगे।'' बेजर Rd. और सीकैमोर Av. पर साइटें इस सप्ताहांत सुबह 8:30 बजे से दोपहर 4:30 बजे तक खुली रहेंगी। सोमवार से साइटें सुबह 7:30 बजे से शाम 4:30 बजे तक सर्दियों के घंटों के दौरान खुली रहेंगी। स्ट्रीट्स डिविजन के ड्रॉप ऑफ साइट्स के बारे में अधिक जानकारी के लिए www.cityofmadison.com/streets पर जाएँ। ग्रे डिजिटल मीडिया द्वारा डिज़ाइन किया गया

कम्पनी वीटी. ग्राहकों को क्षतिपूर्ति में $81000 देगी मोंटेपेलियर - राज्‍य के वित्‍तीय विनियमन विभाग ने मंगलवार को घोषणा की कि हार्टफोर्ड वित्‍तीय सेवा समूह, वर्मोंट ग्राहकों को $81000 का क्षतिपूर्ति के तौर पर देगा। इन ग्राहकों के ऑटो बीमा के क्‍लेम का सही ढंग से आंकलन नहीं किया गया था। विभाग की एक जांच में यह पता लगा कि हार्टफोर्ड ने जनवरी 2009 से सितंबर 2011 के बीच 77 दावों के लिए वाहन के कुल नुकसान की गलत गणना की थी। प्रतिक्रिया में, हार्टफोर्ड ने नई नीतियों और प्रक्रियाओं के साथ-साथ वर्मोंट दावों को संभालने वाले सभी कर्मचारियों के लिए अनिवार्य प्रशिक्षण लागू करने पर सहमति व्यक्त की है। आयुक्त स्टीव किम्बेल ने कहा कि कंपनी द्वारा सुधारात्‍मक कार्रवाई करने पर वह प्रसन्‍न हैं। किम्बेल ने कहा, "यह हमेशा संतुष्टिदायक होता है जब कोई कंपनी गलत प्रथाओं को स्वीकार करती है और सुधार करने का प्रयास करती है।" विभाग ने कहा कि वह लगभग एक साल में अनुवर्ती जांच करेगा।

22 सितंबर 2011 Facebook पर हो रहे हैं बड़े बदलाव: Timeline और Verbs लगभग 30 मिनट पहले, Facebook के संस्थापक Mark Zuckerberg ने f8 कीनोट स्पीच शुरू की। शनिवार की रात कोधीयन एंडी साम्बर्ग द्वारा पहले 10 मिनट के बेसिर पैर के चुटकुलों को छोड़ दें तो, इसके अलावा Zuckerberg ने ‘Timeline’ कहे जाने वाले प्रोफाइल्स के बड़े नए बदलावों की तस्वीर पेश की। Zuckerberg ने Timeline को इस तरह बयां किया: “आपकी सभी कहानियाँ, आपके सभी एप्स, इसे व्यक्त करने का नया तरीका कि आप कौन हैं।” मोबाइल में इसका एकीकरण भी होगा और इससे मोबाइल से लेकर वेब तक एक सहज यूजर एक्सपीरियन्स तैयार होगा। Timeline को अगले कुछ महीनों में क्रमवार रूप से रोल आउट किया जाएगा और शुरू में यह काफी सामान्य दिखेगा। नई Facebook Timeline अधिक दृश्यमान होगी और इसमें एक ‘कवर’ शामिल होगा जो एक बड़ी इमेज है और दृष्टिगत रूप से "कौन हैं आप" इसे व्यक्त करती है - जो कि प्रोफ़ाइल पिक्चर की जगह नहीं लेता है। जब से यूजर्स Facebook में शामिल हुए हैं, तब से वे अब आर्काइव ऑफ कंटेंट और संवादों को भी आसानी से देख सकते हैं। उन्हें साप्ताहिक या वार्षिक रिपोर्ट्स प्राप्त होंगी, जिससे उन्हें उन इवेंट्स और गतिविधियों का सारांश मिलेगा जो उन्होंने किए हैं। Timeline यूजर को अपनी Timeline पर उसे फ्लैग करने के लिए किसी महत्वपूर्ण इवेंट, अपडेट या कंटेंट के हिस्से को विशिष्ट रूप से हाइलाइट करने की सुविधा भी देगा। Facebook ने पिछला साल Open Graph प्रोटोकॉल के विकास में मेहनत की है, उनका मानना है कि इससे पहले की आधी ‘सोशल क्लास’ की तरह एप्स के बिल्कुल नए बनाने का रास्ता खुलेगा। Open Graph दो अतिरिक्त क्षेत्रों के लिए खुलेगा। अब इस समय यह संचार और गेम और अब मीडिया (TV, music, movies, news और books) और लाइफस्टाइल एप्स (cooking, eat, emotions, fashion, fitness आदि) के लिए खुलेगा। एक ऐसी घोषणा जिसकी सराहना के लिए श्रोताओं ने लगभग तालियाँ बजाईं, यह थी कि यूजर किसी एप से जुड़ सकते हैं और दोबारा कभी भी ऑथोराइज़ करने के लिए पॉप अप नहीं होगा और दोबारा अपने न्यूज़ फ़ीड पर शेयर करना चाहते हैं या नहीं, पूछने के लिए पॉप अप नहीं होगा। Timeline और एप्स के नए एकीकरण के साथ, यह अनुमान लगाया जाएगा कि यदि आप कोई एप इस्तेमाल करना चाहते हैं तो आप अपनी Timeline पर इसे प्रकाशित करना चाहते हैं, जिसे Zuckerberg "frictionless experience" कह रहे हैं। f8 के बाद सीधे Open Graph के माध्यम से डेवलपर्स 'add to Timeline' बटन को लागू कर पाएँगे, जो सभी प्लेटफॉर्म्स पर तुरंत काम करेगा। Ticker विशेषता आपको दोस्तों के साथ खास तौर पर जब बात संगीत की हो तो, "serendipitous experience" रखने की भी सुविधा देती है। संस्थापक ने दिखाया कि Open Graph 和 music social network Spotify के साथ, आप दोस्तों के साथ सुन सकते हैं; आप Ticker फ़ीड में देखते हैं कि आपका दोस्त James Morrison के नए सिंगल Up की सुन रहा है, आप केवल अलर्ट पर होवर कर सकते हैं और सुन सकते हैं। लॉन्च पार्टनर iHeartRadio के साथ भी यही होगा। Facebook ने क्रियाओं को जोड़ने की भी घोषणा की है तो आप ‘read a book’ या ‘watch a movie’ कर पाएँगे। f8 में सेमिनार का एक पूरा दिन अभी भी बाकी है, लेकिन मुझे कुछ बुनाई और खाना खाने के लिए जाना है। पूरे दिन की गतिविधियों को पचाने के बाद मैं कल फिर ब्लॉग करूँगा। f8 कॉन्फ्रेस के पहले Facebook ने News Feed में बदलाव किए 22 सितंबर, 2011 को दोपहर 02:50 बजे जबसे जुलाई में Google+ लॉन्च हुआ है, तबसे Facebook अपने fu में नियमित रूप से बदलाव करते दिखाई दे रहा है...और पढ़ें» क्या Facebook के लिए प्यार कम हो रहा है? 24 अगस्त, 2011 को सुबह 11:55 बजे क्या Facebook अब बहुत बड़ा माना जा रहा है? समाज के तौर पर हम किसी के पीछे तब तक खड़े रहते हैं जब तक कि वे on...और पढ़ें» नीचे दिए गए URL का उपयोग करके इस ब्लॉग पोस्ट को ट्रैक करें

Need a good browser CSS editor - where I can save the stylesheet. I just came across Stylebot for Chrome. Its pretty awesome, except I dont think it allows you to save the stylesheet to your local disk after making changes. Can somebody refer me to a CSS editor that allows you to save stylesheets? You can use NotePad++ to save files as .css files. Style sheets should be universal for any browser. I'd stay away from anything slanted toward one browser or another. good thinking! lol I used to have a browser css editor that had the feature to save the stylesheets. I didnt even think to simply just open a notepad or blank document and copy+paste to create my own stylesheets. Users Browsing this Thread There are currently 1 users browsing this thread.

February 21, 2013 Client May Discharge Attorney But Contingent Fee Remains Earned The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the grant of summary judgment to an attorney in a suit for fees against a former client. The attorney had represented the client in actions against her late father's estate for a 15% contingency fee. After the claim was reduced to settlement, the attorney collected his fees as payments were recovered. The client later discharged the attorney and claimed no obligation to continue to pay. The court found that the attorney's rights under the contingent fee agreement had fully vested when the underlying claim was settled. Although the client was free to discharge the attorney, such action "does not alter his entitlement to fees already earned."

USGS hyrdologists take measurements of the river's "flow rate." ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers continues to project that the commercial navigation channel on the Mississippi River will remain open between St. Louis, Mo. and Cairo, Ill. The removal of rock obstructions and recent water releases from the Corps' Carlyle Lake in Illinois have improved the forecast for the Mid-Mississippi River. Current work on the river will address areas that will have the most immediate impact on the navigation channel, with additional rock removal planned for later this year. "We believe we will deepen the channel ahead of the worst-case river stage scenario, and I remain confident that navigation will continue," said Maj. Gen. John Peabody, Mississippi Valley Division Commander. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is in constant communication with the U.S. Coast Guard and the river industry regarding water levels throughout the Mississippi River Basin.

Some of us can recall the helpless feeling of being in a vehicle driven by someone who is intoxicated. If you're like me, you don't want to cause a scene unless the driving is really erratic. But there comes a moment when you need to say: Stop the car. You're going to hurt someone. Hand over the keys. We have a political system that is the equivalent of a drunk driver. The primary culprits are the House Republicans. They are so intoxicated with their own ideology that they are ready to drive the nation's car off the road. I don't know if the sequestration that began Friday will produce a little crisis or a big one; the sad fact is that the Republicans don't know either, yet they're still willing to put the country at risk to make a political point. I'm no fan of the way President Obama has handled the fiscal crisis. As I've written often, he needs to provide the presidential leadership that leads Congress and the country toward fiscal stability. In my analogy, he should take the steering wheel firmly in hand and drive the car toward the destination where most road maps show we need to be heading — namely, a balanced program of cuts in Social Security and Medicare and modest increases in revenue. Instead, Obama has chosen to be co-dependent, as the psychologists say about those who foster the destructive behavior of others. He double-dared the reckless Republicans by proposing the sequester back in 2011. And rather than stepping up to leadership since his re-election, he has triple-dared the GOP hotheads with a partisan inaugural address and weeks of what the Republicans rightly have called a "road show" of blame-game politics. Doesn't he see that the GOP is addicted to this showdown at Thunder Road? This is all the power the GOP has these days, really — the ability to scare the heck out of everybody and run the car into the ditch. Much as I would criticize Obama, it's wrong to say that both sides are equally to blame for what's about to hit us. This isn't a one-off case of the Republicans using Obama's sequestration legislation to force reckless budget cuts. It's a pattern of behavior: First the Republicans were prepared to shut down the government and damage the national credit rating with their showdown over the debt ceiling; then they were careening toward the "fiscal cliff." This isn't a legislative tactic anymore, it's an addiction. Where did this recklessness come from? Only a few years ago, George W. Bush was the compassionate conservative and John McCain won the GOP nomination as the Republican who knew how to govern across party lines. What happened to that Republican Party? Today's Republicans seem to suffer from what's sometimes known as Obama Derangement Syndrome, in which their hatred of the president blinds them to the country's interests. To be honest, this malady is eerily similar to the Bush Derangement Syndrome that afflicted Democrats during the previous decade. The Democrats were so incensed back then they stopped caring if America succeeded or failed in Iraq; the Republicans are so angry now that they don't care if the economy goes to hell. So how can we get these incapacitated drivers to stop before they do any more damage? If this were really a case of chronic drinkers, the answer would be an intervention to keep them off the road. In politics, the public gets to intervene through elections. We just had one, and the Republicans lost, big time. Yet it didn't seem to make much difference. The House Republicans are still grabbing for the wheel and the car is rumbling toward trouble. Obama tries everything to gain control — except a clear, firm presidential statement that speaks to everyone onboard, those who voted for him and those who didn't — that could get the country where it needs to go. The weird thing is that, politics aside, there is every reason to be optimistic about America's future. The country's financial markets are resilient; the housing slump finally seems to be ending; a new era of low-cost shale oil and gas is beginning and, as a result, the U.S. is becoming a competitive manufacturing economy again. There's one ruinously dysfunctional part of the American story, and that's the breakdown of our political system. It's time for an intervention, to take the keys away.

Lake Orion, Mich. – Part of defending champion Olin Browne’s preparation for the 2012 U.S. Senior Open will be competing in the U.S. Open at The Olympic Club. In addition to negotiating Olympic’s ubiquitous slopes and confounding doglegs, Browne hopes to be distracted by following the progress of his son, Olin Jr. “O” – as Browne calls his son – is attempting to join his father at a U.S. Open sectional qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, on June 4. Several days before the qualifier, dad still didn’t know whether he would go watch. “It’s a difficult position to be in,” said the elder Browne at Senior Open Media Day on May 30. “I don’t want to show up and put that kind of heat on him. On the one hand, it’s nice to support for your kid. Whether I’m there or not, he knows that, I love him and support him and I’m pulling for him to do the very best he can.” If the younger Olin qualifies, the Brownes will be the first father-son duo to play together in the U.S. Open since Jay and Bill Haas achieved the rare feat in 2003 and 2004. “It would be unbelievable,” said Browne Sr. “He’s thinking about it; he knows I’m thinking about it. He’s got probably a one in 10 chance of making it. So it’s up to him to prepare himself properly. It’s part of the learning process.” If there is anyone who could impart good advice about sectional qualifying, it would be the elder Browne, who shot 59 at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Md., to advance to the 2005 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina. Qualifying presents one set of challenges; the championship itself offers others. Despite having the type of controlled game that would seem like a perfect fit for the U.S. Open, Browne’s performance in the championship – one top-10 finish in 11 starts – was less successful. He has fared much better since turning 50, and has yet to finish out of the top 10 in three U.S. Senior Opens, capped by last year’s victory. This delayed success is fitting for the late bloomer, who didn’t pick up the game until he was 19. Browne didn’t play his first U.S. Open until he was 35, but has felt comfortable on golf’s biggest stage. “Overall, the USGA setup is fairly consistent, in which every facet of the game is a component of good play” said Browne. “You have to drive the ball well, strike irons consistently, control ball flight, play smart and manage your game well. It’s more of a marathon.” After getting a glimpse of Indianwood Golf & Country Club, the site of the 2012 U.S. Senior Open, Browne came away with a similar sense of comfort that he possessed last year at Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio. “The course is sensational,” said Browne. “I love these kinds of greens that are open in the front.” Last year, Browne withheld a charge from Mark O’Meara by playing the final 10 holes in one under. It was the culmination of a journey that began when he was just starting to learn the game at the driving range accompanied by his girlfriend – now wife – and they would daydream about winning the national championship. “We’d talk about the U.S. Open,” Browne recalled. “We didn’t talk about the PGA or the Masters or the [British] Open Championship. It was always the last hole of the U.S. Open. That was my reference point.” Now that dream has become reality, Browne is relishing his status and basking in the benefits his victory has borne, such as the rare opportunity to potentially share an indelible U.S. Open memory with his son. “Here we are, 11 months later, and [the U.S. Senior Open win] still has legs,” said Browne. “It’s a source of great pride and it’s a privilege to be seen as a USGA champion.” Hunki Yun is a USGA senior staff writer.

John 10:26-27 "26 But you don't believe me because you are not part of my flock. 27 My sheep recognize my voice; I know them, and they follow me."Observation: Nabal was a fool with a beautiful and smart wife (I know what you're thinking here... that could be me at times ;). Even though David has protected him and his servants and flocks, he insults David and his men. David is ready to take vengeance in his own hands, if it wasn't for the sensible Abigail. Today's verse in Proverbs 15:21 says: "Foolishness brings joy to those who have no sense; a sensible person stays on the right path."This verse very much applied to Nabal and Abigail! What struck me in this passage is the fact that Abigail is ready to leave all her wealth behind and become the wife of a chased-after ragtag band leader. How can that be? Well, Abigail recognizes that David is God's chosen shepherd. She recognizes that he will lead the LORD's people and become the chief-shepherd of His flock. As Jesus says in John 10: "My sheep recognize my voice", so Abigail recognizes God's voice through David and wants to follow him. I want to become sensible like Abigail, to recognize the voice of the Shepherd in the midst of a dire situation. I want to be forward looking to the time when he will come back to earth a second time, to judge the Nabals of this world, and to gather his flock to take part in the wedding feast. Dear Heavenly Father, give me 'sense' like Abigail had, and help me to avoid the foolishness and selfishness that Nabal displayed. I want to hear your voice and follow you alone. In Jesus Name, the chief Shepherd. Amen. Today Pentecost is celebrated across the world, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. I pray that you may be filled with a holy fire that truly transforms your life. Have a great week.

Marine Science Program, (Majors: Zoology and Marine Biology), University of Western Australia. 2006-2008 Master of Science in Ecology and Evolution, (MSc. Ecology and Evolution), University of Bern, Switzerland. Thesis title: ‘Ecological requirements of the threatened Ortolan bunting Emberiza hortulana in temperate Europe (Swiss Alps) and in the Mediterranean (Catalonia)’. Supervisor: Prof. Raphaël Arlettaz. Title: Landscape ecology and conservation genetics of a rare, sexually deceptive orchid and its obligate pollinator University: School of Plant Biology, University of Western Australia Supervisors: Prof. Kingsley Dixon, Prof. Rod Peakall (ANU), and Prof. Raphael Didham (UWA) Project description: Conservation of complex ecosystems and threatened species requires a detailed understanding of their ecology. Since it is often difficult in highly endemic floras with large numbers of threatened species, such as the Southwest Australian Floristic Region (SWAFR), to research conservation of all threatened species, one approach is to concentrate effort on a model species. Here, we use Drakaea elastica, a nationally threatened, sexually deceptive orchid endemic to the Swan Coastal Plain, Western Australia. The aim of this project is to determine the multi-scale habitat requirements of D. elastica, along with that of its obligate thynnid wasp pollinator, Zaspilothynnus gilesi. This will be complimented by an investigation of population genetics of D. elastica. In addition, a mark-recapture study on Z. gilesi will yield information on movements and vital rates of the wasp, which in turn can affect gene-flow of D. elastica. This research will allow the compilation of a habitat suitability model to guide conservation, such as the designation of protected areas. 8.

Well you people don't live here. Bad enough we have to hear what a debacle of a season we are having. But if we lose to the Clowns twice, thats an embarrassment. If you want the Steelers to lose, anytime you are not a true fan. Cleveland Browns suck! I want to see the young guys too. So, starting dl should be heyward McClendon and Woods. Lb's should be Worilds, Sylvester and whoever else. CB's should be Brown and the backups S's Golden and Allen. The offense should sit Ben, Brown, Pouncey, Miller, and Starks if Adams is healthy. We have a lot of FA decisions this off season. sent from my Galaxy SIII using tapatalk 2 Basically you guys nailed it on the head ...young guys please ... I'm really interested in Sylvester ... I've always liked him and thought he could take away the need for the other ILB ... guess either I was wrong or like usual the DL defense is to complicated for 2-3 year players to get some time to prove what they have??? I would even go as far as releasing somebody and signing the QB Johnson we had in the pre season and let him play the last game ... see what he has Our feeling are still hurt because of this season, so there is a lot of emotion out here. . .Simple, last game of the year and potentially the last time we will see Hampton, Foote, Wallace/Sanders, Lewis, Mendenhall, Kiesel and Harrison in a Steelers uniform. This is Cleveland; let's just go out there and kick their Brown Stained a$$es all over Heinz field. End the season on a positive and hope that the GM and ownership make the necessary changes to make sure this underachieving season was simply a case of bad diarreah. Remember, if the Steelers go out and crap the sheets, this will stew in our bellies for upwards of 8 months. . .I'd rather end the season on a positive note. Tomlin, Lebeau and all the coaches are about to have some uncomfortable meetings in the next couple of weeks with management and that is precisely what we all want. The Steeler way...is the only way. Well, seeing as how they will be without Trent Richardson and their starting QB will be Thaddeus Lewis, I say I'd like to see them not score lol. Don't recognize Thaddeus Lewis' name? Oh he was the coveted undrafted QB out of Duke in 2010 by the Rams. He's never played a regular season game and has spent his career on the Rams' and Browns' practice squad. I hope they don't rest any starters. I'd like to see what the defense can dial up against the likes of Thaddeus Lewis lol. A lot of stains on the ground. Not ours. And their fans. Why get a better draft pick? So we can pick a stud pass rusher and watch him sit for three years because LeBeau's defense is too hard? There are currently 1 users browsing this thread.

"Don't Stop Believing" has a whole different feel at the end of Glee than it did at the end of The Sopranos [More:]I got unexpectedly misty during the Glee finale. It's a great arrangement of the song. After years of thinking I only had Journey's greatest hits for cheesy nostalgia purposes I think I realized during the finale that it's just a great song. Then there are the cliches: the squabbling kids pulling together as a team, the evocative arm gestures. Finally, after acting like a bitch most of the episode, the female lead singer has a strong voice and looks at the male lead like she loves him. The song sold me on the show.

Barbara Ehrenreich – a Situationist Posted by The Situationist Staff on October 14, 2009 From a related Time Magazine article here’s a brief sample of her writing on the topic of optimism. * * * If you’re craving a quick hit of optimism, reading a news magazine is probably not the best way to go about finding it. As the life coaches and motivational speakers have been trying to tell us for more than a decade now, a healthy, positive mental outlook requires strict abstinence from current events in all forms. Instead, you should patronize sites like Happynews.com, where the top international stories of the week include “Jobless Man Finds Buried Treasure” and “Adorable ‘Teacup Pigs’ Are Latest Hit with Brits.” Or of course you can train yourself to be optimistic through sheer mental discipline. Ever since psychologist Martin Seligman crafted the phrase “learned optimism” in 1991 and started offering optimism training, there’s been a thriving industry in the kind of thought reform that supposedly overcomes negative thinking. You can buy any number of books and DVDs with titles like Little Gold Book of YES! Attitude, in which you will learn mental exercises to reprogram your outlook from gray to the rosiest pink: “affirmations,” for example, in which you repeat upbeat predictions over and over to yourself; “visualizations” in which you post on your bathroom mirror pictures of that car or boat you want; “disputations” to refute any stray negative thoughts that may come along. If money is no object, you can undergo a three-month “happiness makeover” from a life coach or invest $3,575 for three days of “optimism training” on a Good Mood Safari on the coast of New South Wales. . . . * * * Americans have long prided themselves on being “positive” and optimistic — traits that reached a manic zenith in the early years of this millennium. Iraq would be a cakewalk! The Dow would reach 36,000! Housing prices could never decline! Optimism was not only patriotic, it was a Christian virtue, or so we learned from the proliferating preachers of the “prosperity gospel,” whose God wants to “prosper” you. In 2006, the runaway bestseller The Secret promised that you could have anything you wanted, anything at all, simply by using your mental powers to “attract” it. The poor listened to upbeat preachers like Joel Osteen and took out subprime mortgages. The rich paid for seminars led by motivational speakers like Tony Robbins and repackaged those mortgages into securities sold around the world. . . . * * * Below are some excerpts from the introduction of her new book explaining that, optimism notwithstanding, Americans are not necessarily better off. * * * Surprisingly, when psychologists undertake to measure the relative happiness of nations, they routinely find that Americans are not, even in prosperous times and despite our vaunted positivity, very happy at all. A recent meta-analysis of over a hundred studies of self-reported happiness worldwide found Americans ranking only twenty-third, surpassed by the Dutch, the Danes, the Malaysians, the Bahamians, the Austrians, and even the supposedly dour Finns. In another potential sign of relative distress, Americans account for two-thirds of the global market for antidepressants, which happen also to be the most commonly prescribed drugs in the United States. To my knowledge, no one knows how antidepressant use affects people’s responses to happiness surveys: do respondents report being happy because the drugs make them feel happy or do they report being unhappy because they know they are dependent on drugs to make them feel better? Without our heavy use of antidepressants, Americans would likely rank far lower in the happiness rankings than we currently do. When economists attempt to rank nations more objectively in terms of “well-being,” taking into account such factors as health, environmental sustainability, and the possibility of upward mobility, the United States does even more poorly than it does when only the subjective state of “happiness” is measured. The Happy Planet Index, to give just one example, locates us at 150th among the world’s nations. * * * But of course it takes the effort of positive thinking to imagine that America is the “best” or the “greatest.” Militarily, yes, we are the mightiest nation on earth. But on many other fronts, the American score is dismal, and was dismal even before the economic downturn that began in 2007. Our children routinely turn out to be more ignorant of basic subjects like math and geography than their counterparts in other industrialized nations. They are also more likely to die in infancy or grow up in poverty. Almost everyone acknowledges that our health care system is “broken” and our physical infrastructure crumbling. We have lost so much of our edge in science and technology that American companies have even begun to outsource their research and development efforts. Worse, some of the measures by which we do lead the world should inspire embarrassment rather than pride: We have the highest percentage of our population incarcerated, and the greatest level of inequality in wealth and income. We are plagued by gun violence and racked by personal debt. While positive thinking has reinforced and found reinforcement in American national pride, it has also entered into a kind of symbiotic relationship with American capitalism. There is no natural, innate affinity between capitalism and positive thinking. In fact, one of the classics of sociology, Max Weber’s Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, makes a still impressive case for capitalism’s roots in the grim and punitive outlook of Calvinist Protestantism, which required people to defer gratification and resist all pleasurable temptations in favor of hard work and the accumulation of wealth. But if early capitalism was inhospitable to positive thinking, “late” capitalism, or consumer capitalism, is far more congenial, depending as it does on the individual’s hunger for more and the firm’s imperative of growth. The consumer culture encourages individuals to want more — cars, larger homes, television sets, cell phones, gadgets of all kinds — and positive thinking is ready at hand to tell them they deserve more and can have it if they really want it and are willing to make the effort to get it. Meanwhile, in a competitive business world, the companies that manufacture these goods and provide the paychecks that purchase them have no alternative but to grow. If you don’t steadily increase market share and profits, you risk being driven out of business or swallowed by a larger enterprise. Perpetual growth, whether of a particular company or an entire economy, is of course an absurdity, but positive thinking makes it seem possible, if not ordained. In addition, positive thinking has made itself useful as an apology for the crueler aspects of the market economy. If optimism is the key to material success, and if you can achieve an optimistic outlook through the discipline of positive thinking, then there is no excuse for failure. The flip side of positivity is thus a harsh insistence on personal responsibility: if your business fails or your job is eliminated, it must because you didn’t try hard enough, didn’t believe firmly enough in the inevitability of your success. As the economy has brought more layoffs and financial turbulence to the middle class, the promoters of positive thinking have increasingly emphasized this negative judgment: to be disappointed, resentful, or downcast is to be a “victim” and a “whiner.” * * * For a sample of related Situationist posts, see “Self-Serving Biases,” “The Motivated Situation of Inequality and Discrimination,” “Thanksgiving as “System Justification”?,” “Cheering for the Underdog,” “Ayn Rand’s Dispositionism: The Situation of Ideas,” “Deep Capture – Part X,” “Promoting Dispositionism through Entertainment – Part I, Part II, & Part III,” “The Unconscious Situation of our Consciousness – Part IV,” and “The (Unconscious) Situation of our Consciousness – Part III.”

PARKERSBURG - Despite the economic downturn of the past few years and rising and falling fuel prices each year, local officals believe local tourism has responded positively for the most part. The summer season in the Mid-Ohio Valley includes a variety of pubic events, tourism locations and other activities for people living in the local area and those visiting from elsewhere. Attendance has remained generally positive for events like the area homecoming festivals, fairs and other events, while attractions like Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park continue to see people interested in visiting. Despite rising and falling gasoline prices over the last few years, local tourism attractions and events have reported positive attendance and are looking forward to a good summer this year. Matthew Baker recently was named as the new superintendent for Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park. Baker spent the last two years as superintendent of Cooper's Rock State Park near Morgantown and spent the five years prior to that as assistant superintendent at Blennerhassett Island. From his own experiences, Baker believes increases in fuel costs have actually brought about increases in attendance and usage at the local state parks. In both locations over the past four years, he said he saw fewer out-of-state visitors making use of the parks, but that was offset by an increased usage by in-state residents and those who live in the immediate region. Baker believes the "stay-cation" trend of the last several years is continuing. "Not only are state parks close to home, they offer very economical activities," he said, citing camping as the most common example. In his last two years at Cooper's Rock, which offers camping, Baker said he saw a lot of return visitors, but also saw a lot of new people who have turned away from long-distance vacations to see what is available in their home territory and are giving it a try. Teresa Turner, executive director of the Belpre Area Chamber of Commerce which organizes the Belpre Homecoming Festival, said she has been finding that people aren't traveling as far, so they are more interested in finding out what is available to do within their local communities and regions. "We haven't really noticed anything being down due to gas prices," she said. This year's Belpre Homecoming will be Aug. 2-4 at Civitan Park in Belpre. Turner said attendance has remained positive for the event, even when the economic downturn was at its worst locally about three years ago. While the general recovery has been slow, Turner is expecting that positive trend to continue this year during the summer tourism season. "I think it's going to be a fantastic year," she said of this year's homecoming. Mark Lewis, president of the Greater Parkersburg Convention and Visitors Bureau, said he hasn't seen any specific trends regarding the impact of fuel prices on local tourism and he doesn't think there is enough data at this point. However, one piece of data involving increased hotel stays in the area does seem to be a positive indicator for the local area. Lewis said the CVB reported there were 17,174 room nights reported for this May compared to 16,289 for May 2011. Year-to-date, room nights through the end of May were 71,122 compared to 64,944 last year, a 9.51 percent increase year to date. Since the downturn has been going on for four years, Lewis thinks people are adjusting to the prices. He believes there is a lot of pent-up demand for travel for many people and at this point thinks people are more willing to make travel plans with less concern about fuel costs and similar issues than the past few years. He is optimistic due to the increased room sales for the local season. "We're looking forward to a positive tourism season," Lewis said.

Many of you reading this are over the age of 27. Why is this important you ask, well of late Gaila and I have been trying hostels to save money. I think the average age is about 22 to 25 but who knows. Haven’t really asked, just observing. But safe to say I have definitely been one of the more “seasoned” guests at all the ones we have stayed at. You know what? Who cares! Truth is we have had very nice stays. Just like we have couchsurfing, camping and cheap hotels. I must admit, some of the hotel stays have been less than pleasant. Some down right disgusting to be perfectly honest. Part of The Bad, if you will. While writing this I am curled up in a hammock on the Pacific Ocean hugging the Nicaraguan coast just west of Leon. We are doing a weekend stay here at Quartzal Playa Hostel http://playa.quetzaltrekkers.org/ after two awesome nights at Lazybones Hostel http://www.lazyboneshostelnicaragua.com/?lg=En in Leon. I really am liking the vibe. Not only do we have clean and functional rooms, but we are getting for well under $30 for private rooms. If you are willing to do the dorm thing, most are in the $7 to $15 dollars a night range. Best of all however are the locations and the facilities. In Leon it was all about location, patio and pool. Here it is the garden, hammocks and ocean waves. Yes, we change the age curve, but who cares! Most of you are young at heart too and can get a dose of youthful enthusiasm from the 20 something guests. We are. We did a couple in the US and they were fine, but I think our expectations were wrong. Now that we are south of the border these relaxed accommodations seem to fit right in. Now, before you think everyone is wet behind the ears, that is simply not true. Last night we shared the Lazybones with a few German couples that were definitely in their late 50′s or 60′s. Even a family with a small 1 1/2 year old baby were there with us. They, like us were in the private rooms. Our motorcycle friends Mark from Idaho on KLR, Marco from Canada on F650GS single and Pedro from Redmond https://www.facebook.com/pages/Redmond-to-Rio/523014447726275 with his Vstrom DL1000 all elected to do the dorms and save even more money. Since you can’t sleep together those are not the best options for us. Four things impress me about the hostel experience: 1. Better than expected rooms 2. Super friendly people excited to have interesting conversations (not to mention Gringos) 3. Cheap food and beverages 4. They are well connected with the locals and can set you up with good tours, adventures & etc. OK, 5 things…just a general sense of happiness and well being. Yes it is true most are backpacking, but even the older folks we met in Honduras and here too all seem to have the same zest for life and inquisitive souls. As such, my advice is this: If you are young hurry up and get out there as the world is waiting for you. If you are middle aged and strapped for cash at the moment and who isn’t, then just go this budget route you will be happy you did. Indeed, at the moment I am sitting between a 30 something couple from North Carolina, 20 somethings from Germany and some 50ish ladies from somewhere TBD. If you are perhaps retired, use this as a way to stretch your financial resources and get a shot of youthful enthusiasm at the same time. All of the hostel hosts have been super gracious and very helpful. Telling us about hidden gems like Canyon Somoto and others. Today is yet another day in paradise and I sure am looking forward to our tree house hostel near Granada. After that, we will be looking for our next deal on Isla de Ometepe (a two volcano island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua) then Costa Rica and Panama! Oooooops, almost forgot to mention hostel in Honduras which is sort of a hotel/hostel/brewery. Seriously, if you get a chance go to D&D Brewery. What a unique place and Bobbie the guy that owns and runs is really excellent. Here are some that we have stayed at so far and can fully endorse & recommend: Lastly, Lonely Planet is full of good suggestions that have been pretty spot on as far as we are concerned. Travel well, with or without lots of money.

Companies do sometime make bad decisions. One of the worse bad decision it might bet the company on something that did not pay off. It is part of the risk companies take. However, when it involves selling off part of the business that you are famous and in the lead for because it is dull and to pursue more sexy business that the company is not in the lead, that will not be sound decision. One knows one is doing it if there is a lot of opposition or surprise when one announces the decision. I call this selling off the crown jewels. So far, of the three examples I heard of in the tech industry, two failed, and one is not doing as well as it would. The first example is Marconi. It decided to sell its defense and wireless equipment business to concentrate on the telecommunication business. That was made at the height of dot-com boom and almost tanked the company when it burst. Today we have the second example in HP. When one thinks of HP, one thinks of its test equipment business mainly, followed by electronic parts business. Computers? Not in a million years. When Fiorina tried to sell off the crown jewel to concentrate on computers. That shocked a lot of people. It met opposition from at least one descendent of the company’s founder. Unfortunately for HP, it happened. Today, we heard that it is throwing away the computer business to concentrate on the IT business. That’s a sad situation for a company that sold its crown jewel. Probably the only lucky thing is the spin out company that got HP’s crown jewels, Agilent Technology, is still a leader in the field. The example that is not doing that well is Motorola. It’s well known for its semiconductor business. Telecommunication equipment? We know it exists but a world leader? No. After the spin off the business to Freescale Semiconductor to concentrate on telecommunication, Motorola’s finances were up and down. Unlike Marconi or HP, at least it has its high moment when Motorola Razr was the rage and the spinning off of its crown jewels looks like it might be paying off. Today, like the other two, it is a shadow of itself, having split itself yet again and sold the mobile business to Google recently. The new, diminished HP and Motorola now wants to emulate IBM by concentrating on business computing solution. That field of business computing, i.e., the place I lump consultancy, software writing and large scale computing equipment purchase together, seems to be a favourite dumping ground for companies past its former glory. Incidentally, in case you are asking, IBM did not sell off its crown jewels, it simply lose it to competition.

Aren't we all just loving the grief that the FTC is giving Kinder Morgan? This is causing a huge readjustment of assets and debt and making us all nervous. Reminds me of my retirement last year.... I just had to walk away from the work world and leave it up to the younger people to figure it all out now. So let all of them and the regulators do the hasseling about this and let us know in about another year or 2 how it turns out. America seems to have fallen in love with regulation, or at least they voted for it in 2008. Makes us wonder why we started this whole purchase of El Paso in the first place....adding and subtracting assets and debt all over the country. Regulation is just wonderful. And to other posters about the GP taking 50% of the cash flow and then we get the other 50%: we get the declared distribution rate and that's the deal that we pay for. Love it or leave it. If Kmp was selling at half the price, we would then be getting the same rate on our investment as double that 50%. So the fault is the current purchase price....it gives a distributon rate of about 6%. But most anybody knows that the standard rate of return on most business including pipelines is above 10%. Limited partners in our case only get the declared agreed rate depending upon when we purchased the shares. further, on acceptable distribution rate, if you had bought Kmp like I began doing in 2009 when it was below 50, you would now be getting over 10% rate of return on your investment, more with reinvested shares. That is why the analysts have been saying lately that it is the future growth rate of the rate of pay out that will make the biggest difference in your stock shares. Regulations are a neccessary evil. No one likes them, but we can't have a society without them. Would you like Nuclear Industry without NRC? Don't forget defunding of regulatory oversight was the cause of Credit Default Swaps run amock. Look at it as a cost of doing business, you pay for Insurance not because you want to collect on it, but because things happen when there is no one monitoring. Many died operating Boilers till ASME framed rules and regulations, how would you feel if there was no EPA and chemicals dumped to pollute your groundwater. Sadly, we hear the negatives of how regulators prevented progress, but we never hear the catastrophe they prevent. Republicans love to criticise regulations I consider them opportunistic by telling you they do nothing. have we not had enough BANK and FINANCIAL disasters yet? The difference between the Russian nuclear explosion, the Japanese nuclear meltdowns, and Three Mile Island meltdown is levels of regulation. And even though the US meltdown ended OK, the regulations were increased and will continue to be. Some regs. like the diesel exhaust go too far too fast and industry can't keep up. Diesel cars were pulled from the market and Navistar still has to pay a fine for each new engine it ships until they find a fix to meet the new regs. I've heard little data was used to set the exact level picked. If you are a gas producer in the Rockies and want to ship your gas to distant markets, you'd have three main choices: Rockies Express, CIG, or Ruby. All currently owned by Kinder Morgan. Antitrust laws have been on the books for over 100 years, and would have dictated the same result if KMI's situation had arisen 50 years ago. Don't blame current government. Thank Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, etc. Richard Kinder never thought for one moment that certain asset dispositions would not be necessary regarding the EP acquisition.

Why? A 30% short term gain isn't enough? Bulls make money; bears make money; pigs get slaughtered. Any idiot who sold is just that. Did anyone notice how much money the company actually made? Brown is doing what he gets paid to do; err on the side of caution. This is a short sellers manipulation, I wouldn't be surprised if the stock recovers at least $2 from its lows today by the close, and will be back to close to 60 by the end of next month. BTW, I bought 10,000 shares of MSI after the split. I'm not selling. I'm buying. A friend of mine who works at the SEC said more Wall Street thugs will be going to jail. I expect the GS analyst who trashed HP yesterday to be indicted within 6 months. See this story for evidence that the feds are cracking down, and cracking down HARD! Actually I bought 25,000 shares of HPQ at $14/share. I'm far ahead. But GS is a house full of currupt analysts and execs who eventually will get what's coming to them. JAIL TIME! Instead, buy HPQ. GS recommends sell of Hewlett Packard. Do the oppositie of what GS recommends. Their clients do. I just called a friend of mine at the SEC and asked her to investigate the analysts and executives at Goldman Sachs for possible insider trading regarding their downgrade today of HPQ to see how many of their clients and friends sold short the stock the last few weeks. My bet is that several people made a ton of money by recently shorting the stock. She is passing my request to the highest levels given today's precipitous drop. It's time that the fraudsters at Goldman stop getting slaps on the wrist for their illegal behavior, and start spending a decade or more in prison for their corruption. Watch for business news in the coming weeks. If you suspect insider trading, write or call the SEC today with your suspicions. It will expedite matters. I'm now back at 100,000 shares with an average price of 1.04. Here's how it works. You load up with as much as you can at around 1.00/share, and you unload it all at around 1.25.share. There's a pattern here. Every time the stock drops to a dollar/share or less, buyers like me come in. The stock gets pumped to around 1.30 or so, and we get out with a nice 25% gain. So' I've flip this stock 3 times now for $25k gains each time. It's a classic pump and dump stock. Don't EVER expect it to perform like a real company. It isn't. Yes, they make stuff; but only to make it lopk like a legitimate company. It's nothing more than a stock to play with. Buy now. Sell at 1.25. Have fun. I am. Watch today's shareholders meeting. There a chance some director's heads will roll. If so, HPQ could be up 10-15% tomorrow! There is nothing better than shareholder activism!

Jewish World Review August 30, 2002 / 22 Elul, 5762 http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | If you haven't seen enough footage of the Twin Towers coming down, if you haven't heard enough back-stories of the people who were killed, if you haven't watched enough rock and roll singers and movie stars paying their respects, if you haven't cried enough tears, then stay tuned ... this coming September 11th is for you. There will be memorials...lots of memorials. Every radio and television channel will be honoring those who died last year. The networks will be doing 9-11 shows all day and all night. The cable channels will be going around the clock too. Every single station will be doing something, the Food Network, Court TV, MTV, Turner Classic Movies -- when I say every channel, I mean every channel. Every American city (and most major foreign cities) will be holding some sort of commemoration. There'll be marches, parades, testimonials, candlelight precessions, and moments of silence. There'll be fireworks and stirring patriotic songs. Drivers are being asked to turn on their headlights on the anniversary of that fateful morning. Politicians from the President to township councilmen will be all over the place giving speeches and unveiling memorials. When I typed "September 11 Anniversary" on the Google Internet search, it listed no less than 1,050,000 web sites! You have no idea the scope of 9-11 celebratory events. Every agency in the federal government has something going, not to mention all state and local governments. There are church memorials planed, Jewish memorials, Islamic memorials, even atheist memorials. Homosexual, lesbian and transgenered activities will be held to honor those homosexual, lesbian and transgenered victims of 9-11. Celebrities will be doing more specials to honor the victims and the victims' families. Music videos, symphony orchestras, poetry readings and sing-a-longs. There will be even more money collected for the families of the victims (when will there be enough, already?). We will see photos of the victims again. Hear their tragic stories again. We will remember the heroes and honor them again. People will cry again. We are in danger, actually, of drowning in our own tears. Remember September 11th? Has anyone in the world ever stopped remembering? It's good to remember, but maybe it's time to stop crying. We have just had a massive media blitz in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Elvis Presley's "death day." This is a relatively new phenomenon. Yes, we have remembered Pearl Harbor on December 7th for decades, but we never embraced it to the extent that we embrace anniversaries of "death days" now. Thanks in part to television, we have become a society that wallows in it's tragedies. Even good intentions can be overdone. Meanwhile, we get closer to expanding our war on the Islamic terrorists that attacked us one year ago. Vice President Cheney has made it clear that the administration is preparing to liberate Iraq and take out Saddam Hussein. It's about time. In order to destroy terrorist networks like al Qaeda we need to overthrow the regimes that support them. As long as there are terrorist states like Iraq, Iran and Syria -- governments that harbor, train, and encourage terrorists -- we can never expect to completely succeed in our war against terror. The terrorists need to live somewhere -- we must do what is necessary to severely limit their housing options. If we really want to honor the memory of those who were incinerated last year we need to do something truly spectacular -- something that not only shows proper respect for their lives, but also sends a message to the world that all of America has taken their deaths extremely personally. Yes, we need to do something spectacular. Do we sing patriotic songs? Do we shoot off fireworks? Do we wave millions of American flags? Do we light 3,000 candles? Do we release 3,000 doves? Do we walk outside and hold hands with our neighbors? Do we weep collectively along with the victims' families? No -- none of the above. We've sung a year's worth of patriotic songs -- we finally know most of them by heart now. We've flown our flags from our homes, our cars, and our businesses until they became tattered and frayed -- then we bought more. We've worn our flag pins on our lapels and our hearts on our sleeves. We've heard the stories of horror and heroism. We've praised the firemen, the police, the military. We've given money to help the victims. We've gotten mad at the terrorists. We've cried and cried and cried. We've cried enough now. So how best to commemorate the first anniversary of the attack on September 11, 2001? How about with a triple-header -- simultaneous bombings of Baghdad, Damascus, and Teheran on September 11, 2002? Enjoy this writer's work? Why not sign-up for the daily JWR update. It's free.

Structural Intervention Time Series Analysis of Crime Rates: The Impact of Sentence Reform in Virginia Vujić, S., Commandeur, J. and Koopman, S. J., 2012. Structural Intervention Time Series Analysis of Crime Rates: The Impact of Sentence Reform in Virginia. Discussion Paper. Amsterdam: Tinbergen Institute Discussion Papers. Related documents:This repository does not currently have the full-text of this item. You may be able to access a copy if URLs are provided below. We adopt a structural time series analysis to investigate the impact of parole abolition and sentence reform in Virginia on reported crime rates. The Commonwealth of Virginia abolished parole and reformed sentencing for all felony offences committed on or after January 1, 1995. To examine the impact of Virginia’s change in legislation on reported crime rates from 1995 onwards, we perform an intervention time series analysis based on structural time series models. We empirically find that the change in legislation has significantly reduced the burglary rates and to a lesser extent the murder rates in Virginia. For other violent crimes such as rape and aggravated assault the evidence of a significant reduction in crime rates is less evident or is not found. This empirical study for Virginia also provides an illustration of how an effective intervention time series analysis can be carried out in crime studies. |Item Type||Reports/Papers (Discussion Paper)| |Creators||Vujić, S., Commandeur, J. and Koopman, S.

After speaking with Matt Kenseth via phone on Wednesday afternoon, I feel like I have a better grasp on why he made the decision to leave Roush Fenway Racing for a yet-to-be-named team (likely Joe Gibbs Racing). While Kenseth can't or won't say everything that led to his decision, he was very forthcoming about the details he felt he could talk about. Here are some common questions from you and a few answers that might help you understand the move: Kenseth doesn't have a full-time sponsor at Roush this year and might not have had one next year. Was stability the reason he left? The stability of just having a job and staying in the sport ranks "almost on the bottom" of his priority list, Kenseth said. "Winning races and trying to race for championships is on the top of my list, because you never know how long you can do this stuff," the 40-year-old said. "You never know when your last race is or your last lap is or your last win is or any of that." Reading between the lines on everything that's happened, it seems like the decision to leave was Kenseth's -- though it certainly doesn't hurt Roush to move one of its younger, cheaper drivers in Ricky Stenhouse Jr. up the ladder into the Sprint Cup Series. If Kenseth is having such a solid year and leading the points, why did he go looking for another team? He didn't. Other teams knew Kenseth was a free agent who was unsigned past this season, and the driver said he was approached by one who had an opportunity that intrigued him. As recently as a month or two ago, Kenseth planned on being at Roush for his entire career -- just as team owner Jack Roush said he did. When he got the initial phone call expressing interest, Kenseth said he didn't think, "Yeah, that's what I'm going to do for sure." "But after some talking and getting to know some people and some things that were happening, I think it just felt like it was the right thing to do," he said. "You look back and you're like, 'Oh man, I hope this is right.' But I felt really strongly it was the right thing to do and that was the place for me and the time to go do that. And I still feel like that." Was there a behind-the-scenes argument at Roush that we don't know about? Not according to Kenseth, who said he knows the lack of "one great reason" makes it harder for reporters and fans to understand his decision. "It's a combination of a lot of things and timing," he said. "There's nobody that was mad. There wasn't a fight, there wasn't a disagreement or somebody not doing something. There wasn't really any of that. I know that doesn't sound like a good answer, but that's really the truth." Kenseth said there was "no resistance from anywhere," and that it felt like all the pieces just fell into place for his move to happen. It certainly helped Kenseth to know Roush wanted to get Stenhouse Jr. into a Cup car. "I really think things happen for a reason and things line up like that sometimes," he said. "When they do, that's how it was meant to go – and that's what happened here." OK, but this is all about the money, right? Kenseth has always been sensitive about his contract situation and won't discuss financial details. And this year, it's worth noting, Kenseth wouldn't even publicly acknowledge his free agent status. If he was going for a big payday, he perhaps could have used the media to gain leverage -- either with Roush or potential suitors -- but instead, he kept quiet about it the whole time. Sources told SB Nation that Kenseth might actually be taking a pay cut with his new team rather than scoring a bigger deal. If he'd remained at Roush, though, he may have gotten even less due to the sponsorship situation there. Roush will save millions per year by signing Stenhouse Jr. instead of Kenseth, which will lower the price point for sponsorship. Why can't Kenseth and his new team (again, likely JGR) just announce their deal now? Are there sponsorship concerns still to be worked out? Kenseth said he simply couldn't talk about the details of where he's headed in 2013, even the reasons why an announcement can't be made yet. He said the news will be made public "hopefully sooner than later" and all sides had already reached an agreement, including his new sponsors. "Everything is set; everything is in place," he said. "I think we're good there. I feel good about '13 and beyond. I don't think it's any of that." The driver said his new team -- which he called "another very winning organization" -- is a good fit for him and he believes he can be successful there. Isn't Kenseth getting kind of old to start over with a new team? Not at all. Though Kenseth is 40, that's not old for a race car driver. Tony Stewart just won the championship at 40 last year, and Mark Martin is still racing competitively at age 53. Kenseth said Wednesday it's impossible to say right now how much longer he plans to race. "I just don't know," he said. "And by saying 'I don't know,' I feel like that means I'm so far away from the end or when I want to walk away that I can't even fathom when that is. I sure hope to be driving for a long time." Why can't the media just respect Kenseth's decision and leave him alone? Kenseth knew there were questions about his move and wanted to fulfill interview requests for as many reporters as possible. It was his decision to talk for so long. He spent three straight hours on Wednesday afternoon doing phone interviews with 13 different reporters and answering mostly the same questions the entire time. I'm still confused. Will all the details about Kenseth's decision come out eventually? Not if the driver has his way. Kenseth, who has always been a private person, said there's nothing to be gained by talking about some of the specific conversations or factors that led to the move. "There are a fair amount of closed-door things or feelings or circumstances or whatever that will probably never get talked about, just because it doesn't do anybody any good at the end of the day," he said. That said, once Kenseth and his new team make their announcement, everything might make more sense.

PASSIVE COMPONENTS, like many other building blocks in the high-frequency industry, have improved in terms of electrical performance per unit size over the last five decades. When looking back over the years at earlier passive components and assemblies, it is not so much the pure electrical performance that is striking as much as the advances in packaging that have taken place over that time. In 1980, for example, one of the leading suppliers of microwave mixers, Watkins-Johnson of Palo Alto, CA, made news with their M4 series of flatpack mixers. The products included the model WJ-M4A with local-oscillator (LO) and RF range of 10 to 1500 MHz and intermediate-frequency (IF) range of DC to 1000 MHz. During the same time period, a company still going strong, Mini-Circuits, was selling coaxial power dividers for only $39.95 each. The firm's ZAPD line of power dividers included models from 0.5 to 1.0 GHz, 1.0 to 2.0 GHz, and 2.0 to 4.2 GHz (Fig. 1). The insertion loss was 0.2 dB for all models, still considered good today. Another company still going strong, ARRA, Inc., of Westbury (now Bay Shore), NY, offered a line of miniature continuously variable attenuators in 1968. Available for applications from 2.0 to 12.4 GHz, the attenuators handled 5 W average power and 3 kW peak power with maximum insertion loss of 0.5 dB. An article in March 1968 by members of the technical staff of the Microwave Department of Sylvania Electric Products, Inc. of Woburn, MA detailed how a new type of diode, the beamlead Schottky barrier diode (Fig. 2), appeared to be a more electrically efficient device than point-contact diodes for frequency-conversion applications. The article compared the performance characteristics of both semiconductor devices, and showed how a microwave mixer could be formed using a beam-lead Schottky diode pair (Fig. 3). Around the same time, Bill Marshall, Switch Marketing Manager for Transco, demonstrated his firm's modular approach to waveguide switch assemblies (Fig. 4). Using a variable waveguide switch design, the assemblies performed transmitter switching to 18 GHz under full-power operation. They provided switching speed of better than 50 ns. The Micro State Electronics Operation of Raytheon in Murray Hill, NJ was working with advanced stripline, leading to the group's development of a switch/driver assembly for applications from 1020 to 1100 MHz (Fig. 5). It achieved hot switching of 10 kW peak power in only 150 ns. For those who doubted digital technology existed five decades ago, Daico Industries offered a pair of digital variable attenuators with integral TTL (model DA0295) and CMOS (model DA0285) drivers. Switching under 7-b control, the digital attenuators (Fig. 6) provided 63.5-dB attenuation control ranges from 30 to 500 MHz with least significant bit (LSB) of 0.5 dB. They could handle input power levels to +13 dBm with nominal switching speed of 5 s. Last but not least, Systron Donner was among a group of companies promoting their capabilities in "supercomponents." These were essentially compact assemblies that combined the functions of multiple components. One of the company's supercomponents was an assembly designed for X-band radar (Fig. 7), with a low-noise mixer and Gunn diode LO. The LO provided a 40-MHz tuning range around 9.375 GHz.

The Bottom Whisperer: Freak Like Me Greeting fandome! Hope everyone is having an awesome week. Happy hump day! Follow me on facebook and twitter if you aren’t already. If you’re lucky I might go all Chris Brown and tweet pictures of my junk (not really). Check out last week’s column just in case you missed it. Dear Bottom Whisperer, I recently came out of the closet after being away at college for my sophomore year. I made friends at school who helped make my coming out experience really great. My family has also been very supportive since I came out to them. I recently went on a few dates with a guy from one of my classes. On our third date we went back to his place and got it on. Once we got down to our underwear and were making out on his bed he stopped for a second and with a kinda embarrassed look said to me “I just want you to have a heads up so you aren’t disappointed, I am not very hung. Don’t worry tho, I am totally cool just being the bottom sexually.” This really took me off guard and kinda killed the mood. We made out some more but then I told him I had to head home. I feel weird now because we had a nice time together. So many things are going through my head. Do less hung guys have to be the bottom? If I’m not hung do I have to apologize to the guy I’m with? This whole situation just kinda blew my mind. I feel awkward around him now and I think he is into me and wants to keep seeing each other. Trying Out Playing Sorry There is no gay rulebook, and if there were, it would not have a rule that you have to apologize if your member isn’t “above average”. This guy clearly has some insecurity about what he’s packing downstairs, not your issue to deal with/take on/worry about. There are plenty of guys out there who are average and not hung who are tops. Your old pal The Bottom Whisperer can vouch that there are some bottom boys out there packing some serious heat downstairs. Unless you run your sex life like a communist work program, people should be welcome to do whatever they want (within reason) in the bedroom. Not every hung guy wants to be a big old top daddy, not every average guy wants to bite the pillow. Good on you for seeing how ridiculous this way of thinking is. I hope your dinner friend can have a similar moment of clarity. Yes there are people who fetishize hung guys, just like there are people who fetishize certain body types, ethnicity, body modification, etc. Don’t allow yourself to be put into a box because of your physical features. Never apologize for being the way that you are (unless it’s drunk and you just spilled on a really nice piece of furniture) and feel good about you! If you want to top, bottom, both, neither, in a car, in a bar, with a star…. Go for it. There are no rules, besides rules are just there to be broken. Happy humping! Dear Bottom Whisperer, I’m a twenty-something, educated, professional gay man living on the West Coast. I have been seeing a guy romantically for a couple of months now. We really enjoy each other and are about at the point where we should discuss seeing each other exclusively. But there is one thing that has been weighing heavily on my conscience as of late. My awesome gentleman-friend is very close to his ex-boyfriend. Normally this wouldn’t be an issue for me but it is pretty obvious that his ex still has some serious feelings for him. I don’t bring it up because I don’t want to let it affect what we have going on. I will say that I have caught his ex meddling in our affairs a couple of times such as checking up on me with mutual friends. I can’t help but think this is part of a much greater plan to get me out of the picture and get back with him. I’m not an insecure person but this is bothering me and I am looking for a way of resolving it while also keeping this great thing going with my beau. Advice please? Shouldn’t Consider Reciprocating Alleged Manipulation Thanks for the great question! You say that you don’t want the influence of a shady ex to interrupt or affect what you have going on. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it already is. I think it is great that you haven’t flipped and asked your man-friend what is up or to pick one of you, because that would just make you look bad. It is possible your guy is a bit of an attention whore and loves having 2 hot guys pine after him, he could also be completely clueless. Either way, don’t let this guy’s actions sweat you because he is just trying to get a reaction out of you, and if you give it to him, you give him the keys to the Porsche. He will know he can get a stir out of you and then it is game over. Now if he continues and even becomes more brazen with his attempts to manipulate you or your guy, you’re gonna have to put the ball in your man’s court. A simple “Maybe we should take a break so you can work through some of the stuff you have hanging around from your ex.” Should do the trick. If he likes you he will get the picture. By allowing his ex to meddle with your business you are not setting healthy boundaries with your new guy. These situations happen quite a bit and it is very difficult as the new person in the dynamic to come out of it looking like a class act. Most people wanna get all Jerry Springer and start a screaming match. Don’t stoop so low. If this guy is a good fit and meant to be, he needs to reel it in and get his ex in check. I’d even advise you to save that conversation about being exclusive until that very thing happens. Best of luck!

If you're a "Breaking Bad" devotee, news that the Sundance Channel will begin airing Seasons 1 through 4 of the show (beginning tonight at 11 PM) is a welcome chance to rewatch one of (if not the) greatest TV dramas of all time. And for you "Bad" newbies … we envy you, because you have the chance to experience for the first time the unfolding of an incredibly written and acted story, led by two Emmy-winning actors (Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul) and an Emmy-worthy supporting cast. With the last eight episodes of the series scheduled to premiere on AMC this summer, Sundance's off-network airings will run back to back every Monday night for the show's first 46 installments. Here, five moments every "BB" fan -- new and old -- should catch during the Sundance run (oh, MAJOR SPOILERS ahead): (Warning: The following clips contain violence and adult language.) 1. Workin' at the car wash Make that not working at the car wash. In the series premiere, meek, fed-up high school chemistry teacher Walter White (Cranston) -- who has to work a second job at a car wash just to make ends meet for his family -- does his best Johnny Paycheck when he tells his gruff, bushy-browed car wash boss to take his job and shove it, while referencing the eyebrows, slapping around some air fresheners, and throwing in a crotch grab for good measure. It's the first moment Walt really lets go of years of pent-up frustration, though it's certainly not the last. 2. The birth of Heisenberg Season 1, "Crazy Handful of Nothin'" As Walt's partner in crime, Jesse (Paul) would later proclaim, "Yay, science!" In this case, that science is fulminated mercury, which Walt uses to get the attention -- and the business -- of drug lord Tuco. Old Walt, meek Walt, would never have had the nerve to stand up to the menacing Tuco (Raymond Cruz), but Jesse has been beaten up and Walt's had to shave his head for chemotherapy. And in his new, emboldened state, his alter ego "Heisenberg" strides into Tuco's headquarters, blows the joint up (using the mercury), and demands that Tuco buy his special brand of crystal meth. With payment upfront. 3. What would you do? Season 2, "Phoenix" Walt had a choice in this episode, the penultimate installment of the season, when Jesse's new girlfriend, Jane (Krysten Ritter), was choking to death after a drug binge with fellow addict Jesse: Walt could save her life … or, he could save almost a half-million dollars in cash, and make sure Jane was no longer around to influence Jesse. It took the series' ability to shock -- and Walter White's conscience -- to a whole other level, and led to even more shocking fallout in the season finale. 4. "I am the one who knocks" Season 4, "Cornered" Skyler, realizing fully what danger Walt's enterprise has put her and the kids in, pleads with him to turn to the police to protect them. They're in danger, she argues. But Walter, fully believing his own Heisenberg hype by this point, just gets annoyed with her insistence that he's in danger, and that the bad guys are going to come knocking on their door. "I am not in danger, Skyler, I am the danger … a guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!" 5. Blown away Season 4, "Face Off" Not even "The Wire" or "The Sopranos" put forth a more complicated, calculating, villain than Giancarlo Esposito's Gus Fring, who found out in a very just way in the Season 4 finale that he was smarter than almost everyone … except Walter White. It was part of a Season 4 ender that was so satisfying it could have served as the "Breaking Bad" series finale (though we're very happy it didn't). "Breaking Bad" airs on Sundance Channel Mondays at 11 PM and midnight.

Two longtime Hope College traditions -- The Pull tug-of-war and the Nykerk Cup competition -- are included in a book, "Campus Traditions: Folklore from the Old-Time College to the Modern Mega-University" by Simon J. Bronner, Distinguished Professor of American Studies and Folklore and director of the American studies doctoral program at the Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg. The book is published by the University of Mississippi Press. Both the Pull and Nykerk are competitions between members of the freshman and sophomore classes. The Pull marked its 115th year earlier this fall. Nykerk, a Hope tradition since 1936, will be held on Saturday, Nov. 3, as part of Parents Weekend. Over the years The Pull in particular has found its way into the national and even international media, from The Guinness Book of World Records (1995) to Sports Illustrated (twice--in 1966 and 1996); from a magazine in Japan (1983) to Australian television (1996). Book Descriptive from Mississippi Press From their beginnings, campuses emerged as hotbeds of traditions and folklore. American college students inhabit a culture with its own slang, stories, humor, beliefs, rituals, and pranks. Simon J. Bronner takes a long, engaging look at American campus life and how it is shaped by students and at the same time shapes the values of all who pass through it. The archetypes of absent-minded profs, fumbling jocks, and curve-setting dweebs are the stuff of legend and humor, along with the all-nighters, tailgating parties, and initiations that mark campus tradition--and student identities. Undergraduates in their hallowed halls embrace distinctive traditions because the experience of higher education precariously spans childhood and adulthood, parental and societal authority, home and corporation, play and work. Bronner traces historical changes in these traditions. The predominant context has shifted from what he calls the "old-time college," small in size and strong in its sense of community, to mass society's "mega-university," a behemoth that extends beyond any campus to multiple branches and offshoots throughout a state, region, and sometimes the globe. One might assume that the mega-university has dissolved collegiate traditions and displaced the old-time college, but Bronner finds the opposite. Student needs for social belonging in large universities and a fear of losing personal control have given rise to distinctive forms of lore and a striving for retaining the pastoral "campus feel" of the old-time college. The folkloric material students spout, and sprout, in response to these needs is varied but it is tied together by its invocation of tradition and social purpose. Beneath the veil of play, students work through tough issues of their age and environment. They use their lore to suggest ramifications, if not resolution, of these issues for themselves and for their institutions. In the process, campus traditions are keys to the development of American culture. Mississippi Press Website

Gordon Square leader to head Global Cleveland 9:00 am, November 15, 2012 Joy Roller, executive director of the Gordon Square Arts District, has been selected as the next president of Global Cleveland. “We are excited that Joy Roller will be leading Global Cleveland, a major economic development initiative for the region,” said Baiju R. Shah, chairman of Global Cleveland, in a news release. “She is a highly-regarded civic leader due to the successful development of the Gordon Square Arts District under her leadership.” Ms. Roller, who has been executive director of the Gordon Square Arts District since 2006, will fill the position formerly held by Larry Miller, who resigned from the post last month for health reasons. Global Cleveland is a year-old economic development initiative focused on connecting newcomers to opportunities in the region. “To continue to grow this region, we must proactively reach out and attract a broad and diverse group of individuals to become new citizens in our region,” Ms. Roller said. “We can only accomplish this by leveraging the region's many ethnic communities, alumni networks, and young-professional groups, as peer-to-peer or word-of-mouth marketing is the most impactful means of communication.”

Now, after more than 20 years as a regular "Today" viewer, Wurtzel tunes to CBS most mornings. Multiply such defections and you have the chief reason for television's changing fortunes in morning news, where ABC's "Good Morning America" has ended NBC's epic 17-year winning streak on "Today." ABC is growing—"GMA" has 110,000 more viewers each day this year than last—but not as much as NBC is slipping (437,000 viewers a day since last year). Wurtzel, 57, left last spring because of "Today" co-host Ann Curry. "Ann's interview style was like chalk on a board to me," she said. "She leaned toward her interviewee and whispered her questions like someone had died. The more serious the interview, the quieter she got. When she replaced Meredith (Vieira), I tried to adjust and accept, but she just didn't work for me. Katie (Couric) and Meredith were relatable, empathetic and funny. Ann just seemed out of place." Executives at NBC were quietly reaching the same conclusion and moved to replace Curry with Savannah Guthrie. Then came June 28, 2012, Curry's last day as co-host. She cried in bewilderment at her perceived failure at losing the job she had sought for years, as her uncomfortable Suddenly, a problem for NBC became a BIG problem. Even people who didn't particularly like Curry loathed the way she was dispatched. Except for two weeks during the Olympics, "Today" hasn't sniffed first place in the ratings since. During the first six months of 2012, "Today" averaged just under 5.2 million viewers each weekday. Since July 2, the audience has dropped to 4.59 million, according to Nielsen, the company that measures TV audiences. Without the two weeks of the London Olympics, the average is 4.3 million. That's a stunning drop, even accounting for typical lower viewership in the summer. An informal survey of three dozen viewers who have left or are considering leaving "Today" turned up various explanations, including a feeling that the show had leaned too far in the direction of lighter, pop culture fare. The Curry dismissal was clearly a tipping point, however. William Runge, a manager at an educational cable network who lives in suburban Winston-Salem, N.C., likened the treatment of Curry to "a public flogging." "The PR machine at NBC spent an enormous amount of time and effort convincing me that the 'Today' show team was actually part of my family, 'America's First Family," said Runge, 46, citing the show's advertising slogan. "Guess what? They were right. These did feel like family members. So this is how you are going to treat a member of your family? "You can debate for hours whether Ms. Curry was right for the role," he said. "That's not the point. She was doing her job and was barely 11 months into it when they canned her in the most humiliating way possible." The move was "heart-wrenching," said Isabelle Langelier, a 40-year-old manager at a drug company from Montreal. "It made me feel sick for her. And it made me turn the channel, probably permanently." "While I thought Ann Curry's interviews were a little hokey at times, she is clearly the most genuine person in TV news," said Sarah Rosenthal, 53, a graduate student and mother of three from West Chester, Pa. "After her unceremonious dumping, I turned it off. I have nothing against Savannah, and adore Natalie Morales, but there is just a different tone to the show." Even worse for NBC, a significant number of viewers appear to blame co-host Matt Lauer for the move. The network has consistently denied tabloid reports that Lauer was unhappy with Curry. "Today" Executive Producer Jim Bell said late last month that Lauer was being treated unfairly. Firing Curry was Bell's decision, he said. Some awkward public moments haven't helped. When Curry reappeared on "Today" during the London Olympics to introduce a story she had done, Lauer twice remarked that it was good to see her again. Curry didn't return the sentiment to the man she worked with for 15 years. Two years ago, Lauer's positive "Q" score was 23—meaning 23 percent of people who knew him considered Lauer one of their favorite broadcasters, according to Marketing Evaluations Inc., a company that measures public sentiment toward well-known personalities. Now his positive score is 14. At the same time, "Good Morning America" co-host Robin Roberts' positive "Q" score jumped from 20 to 27. Langelier felt there was a perception that Lauer was "king" and others on the show aren't equal to him. Lyle Nelson, 40, a salesman from Avondale, Ariz., said Lauer was "not someone I'd like to have a beer with." "There is something about Matt Lauer, whether or not he was the reason for Curry's firing, that has changed and I do not like watching the show anymore," said John Friia, a 20-year-old aspiring journalist from Malverne, N.Y. Fortunately for NBC, viewers don't seem to be taking out their unhappiness on Guthrie. Producers often say that viewing decisions for morning television can be intensely personal, since people are essentially inviting these personalities into their homes at an intimate time of day when they were getting ready for work. Feeling a part of the TV "family" they see on air is part of it, and sometimes the reasoning seems strange. Nelson said, for example, that he didn't like the couch on "Today" because it looked uncomfortable. "In today's doom and gloom news programs, the 'Today' show gave me a lift to get my day started," said Taren Robin, 48, from Paris, Ky. "I don't get that lift anymore, and I am in mourning over the fact. I haven't found anything I like better to take its place." At least one-third of people who responded to a Twitter request to discuss the show cited its content for their discontent. "I used to be a regular 'Today' show viewer but got tired of their formula," said Dan Laufer, 35, a sports marketer from Washington, D.C. "Five minutes of hard news followed by an animal rescue story, the Kardashians and then pop culture or fashion. It's OK with me—in moderation." Joan Pierce is a 64-year-old retired nurse from Oklahoma City, Okla., who watched "Today" for 40 years. Now she says: "I don't care what Lindsay Lohan does." "I was fed up with the lack of actual news reporting, and more intense focus on silly, irrelevant things like women's fashion or the newest celebrity's recipe for a dinner I could never find the time or money to cook," said Zach Beale, a 23-year-old college student in Savannah, Ga. Biting as they may be, at least those complaints offer "Today" the seeds of potential recovery. "Good Morning America," particularly in its second hour, has an even greater pop culture emphasis. Bell said his show will try to draw a greater contrast with its ABC rival in coming months. A recent ad with Lauer touts the "informative" nature of the show. Curry, who has kept her job with NBC as a hard news reporter, appeared on "Today" during the past month interviewing Libyan President Mohammed Magarief and reporting from Syria. CBS has already tried to position itself as a newsier alternative in the morning. Because "Today" has a richer history and often twice as many viewers, it would be in better position to reach people who want this. NBC announced this week that Willie Geist, an engaging and popular member of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" team, will join "Today" as a co-host of the 9 a.m. hour and occasionally appear earlier. "What I loved about the show were the hosts, reporters and the stories," said Miriam Sajecki, a marketer from Staten Island, N.Y. who has watched "Today" for more than 20 years. "It was always delivered in a friendly, engaging and informative manner. Some of that has changed in that I miss the chemistry that was displayed with the prior hosts ... and some of the stories 'Today' was known for. It has evolved into forgettable reports without giving me the important news and educational stories." Still, Sajecki is a loyalist. "I will continue to watch the 'Today' show and wake up to it every weekday," she said. NBC needs devoted fans like Sajecki to turn things around. It will take some time.

रि‍ट्रीवर एक प्रकार का गन डॉग है जो किसी शिकारी के लिए गेम को पाता है। आमतौर पर गन-डॉग्स को तीन मुख्य श्रेणियों में विभाजित किया जाता है: रिट्रीवर, फ्लशिंग स्पैनियल और पॉइंटिंग प्रजातियाँ। रिट्रीवर को मुख्य रूप से चिड़ियों या अन्य शिकार को पुनः प्राप्त करने और शिकारी को बिना नुकसान पहुंचाए लौटाने के लिए पाला जाता था। यद्यपि स्पैनियल और कुछ पॉइंटिंग प्रजातियाँ नियमित रूप से खेल को पुनः प्राप्त करती हैं, और कई रिट्रीवर गेम को खोजने में कुशल होते हैं, रिट्रीवर इस मायने में विशिष्ट हैं कि बिना किसी नुकसान के पुनः प्राप्त करना उनका प्राथमिक कार्य है। इसके परिणामस्वरूप, रिट्रीवर प्रजातियों को नरम मुँह और खुश करने, सीखने और आज्ञा का पालन करने की बड़ी इच्छा के लिए पाला जाता है। नरम मुँह का मतलब कुत्ते की इच्छा से है कि वह बिना काटे अपने मुँह में खेल को ले जाए। कठोर मुँह एक शिकारी कुत्ते में एक गंभीर गलती है और इसे ठीक करना बहुत मुश्किल है। एक कठोर मुँह वाला कुत्ता खेल को दिखने में खराब कर देता है या सबसे बुरी तरह से अखाद्य बना देता है। फ्लैट कोट रिट्रीवर लेख का प्रिंटर अनुकूल संस्करण देखें। लेख सुनें फ्लैट कोट रिट्रीवर लेख के ऑडियो संस्करण को सुनें। हॉट की: + + फ्लैट कोट रिट्रीवर तथ्य देशी नस्ल का नाम … वह क्षेत्र जहाँ जानवर पहली बार आया था … जानवर की लंबाई (L) या ऊँचाई (H)… जानवर का वज़न माप… जानवर कितने समय तक जीवित रहता है… बिल्ली या कुत्ते जैसा घरेलू समूह …
