The fiscal cliff negotiations seem to be foundering on Barack Obama's insistence on higher tax rates on high earners and House Republican leaders' insistence on opposing them. The president believes he has a mandate from voters for his position, and House Republicans believe they have a mandate from voters for theirs.
The real argument here is over the size and scope of government. Under Barack Obama, federal outlays -- the technical term for federal spending -- have increased to 24 and 25 percent of gross domestic product.
That's a higher level of federal spending than in any year since 1946, when...

Palm Sunday
What is Palm Sunday?
Palm Sunday is the sixth Sunday of Lent and the last Sunday before Easter. It is also known as Passion Sunday, Willow Sunday, and Flower Sunday.
The Meaning of Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, where he would be crucified five days later. According to the Gospels, Jesus rode into town on a donkey as exuberant crowds hailed him as the Messiah and spread out palm branches and cloaks in his path.
The event commemorated on Palm Sunday is told in all four gospels (Matthew 21, Mark 11, Luke 19, John 12). The Matthew narrative, the one most commonly read in services on Palm Sunday, tells the story this way:
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away...
The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them. They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"
When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, "Who is this?" the crowds answered, "This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galillee." (Matthew 21:1-3, 6-11)
The celebration of Palm Sunday probably originated in the churches of Jerusalem, sometime before the third or fourth century AD.
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, an especially solemn and important week in the Christian calendar that focuses on the last days of Jesus' life and anticipates Easter, the most important holiday in Christianity.
Common Palm Sunday observances include processions with palm branches, the blessing of palms (which will be burned and used on Ash Wednesday), and the construction of small palm crosses. Bible readings for the "Liturgy of the Palms" usually include Matthew 21:1-11 and Psalm 118:19-29.

Patient Comments: Gastroenteritis - Treatment
What treatments were effective for your case of gastroenteritis?
A Doctor's View on A Doctor's View on Gastroenteritis Treatment
Read the Comment by John P. Cunha, DO, FACOEP
Gastroenteritis, or as some people refer to it as the "stomach flu," is an infection caused by viruses or bacteria that causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines. Symptoms of gastroenteritis include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Treatment generally can be managed at home with a BRAT diet, keeping hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, and rest. If you feel severely dehydrated, develop a fever, or have blood in your stool or vomit, seek medical care. Read the entire Doctor's View
Comment from: 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: November 04
This is my second time getting this. The first time was a one-time vomiting. After that I was fine. The second time was different. It started with eating some Stroganoff. I woke up at 3am in the morning with terrible stomach pains Nausea came after that I vomited two to three times after that. The pain went away only if I were sleeping. I drank Sprite to hydrate well and Alka Selzer for the stomach pains. It soothed my stomach for a moment but has since returned.

Comment from: checker, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: November 04
Mine started at about 2:30 a.m., waking me from a deep sleep with stomach cramps. I thought I had heartburn, so I took something for the heartburn and used the restroom. Everything was normal and I got back in bed. About 45 minutes later, I was vomiting in the trash can, trying to make it to the restroom, because I now have diarrhea. So, I'm sitting on the toilet with trash can in hand and diarrhea running out the other end. My stomach kept gurgling. By the time the clock went off for me to go to work at 5 a.m., I was exhausted and also had a horrible headache. I got in to see my doctor the same day, who gave me promethazine for the nausea and vomiting. The doctor said it was a 24-48-hour virus, but it was more like 48-72 hours. I hope this never hits me again.

My iPhone should arrive at the lastest, on the 23rd at 3pm

- Hard-Cooked Egg Aioli:
- 8 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill, plus dill fronds for garnish
- 6 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 6 heaping tablespoons whole-grain Dijon mustard4 tablespoons capers, drained
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 loaves Irish brown bread
- 40 paper-thin slices Irish smoked salmon
For the hard-cooked egg aioli: Place the eggs in a single layer in a straight-sided sauce pan, and cover completely with water. Bring to a boil, and then remove from the heat and cover tightly with a lid, 15 minutes.
Immediately shock the eggs in an ice bath. When the eggs are cool enough to handle, gently peel off the shells and finely chop.
Stir together the mayonnaise, dill, horseradish, mustard and capers until combined. Fold in the eggs, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
For assembly: Slice the bread into 1/2-inch slices, and then cut each slice lengthwise into 3 or 4 pieces to create 35 to 40 crostini.
Top each crostini with a slice of salmon and a dollop of the aioli, and garnish with dill fronds.

A women's college residence during the academic year, the Ostello (Hostel) Domus Civica is an awesome hostel stea for summertime travelers visiting from June 1st to September 30th. Remnants of the onetime convent include an impressive crucifix in the lobby, long hallways, high ceilings and small, simple rooms.
Quick read
Pros: Super-Cheapo. Interesting history.
Cons: Only open in summer. Strict curfew. Some street noise. No air conditioning.
Rooms at the Ostello Domus Civica range in size and capacity and can be reserved as privates or dorm-style. The warm walnut furnishings are simple. There are no amenities (no air conditioning, no television...).
All bathrooms are shared, but each room has a sink and mirror. Bathrooms are "whimsical," with a few signs of hostel neglect, but clean.
Throw in a large TV lounge and library, and a sweet and friendly staff, and you get the full picture. High ceilings keep the place cool(ish) in the summertime, but the heat-averse should know that there is no air conditioning.
Proximity to the train station and the hopping bar buzz at Campo Santa Margherita make this a favorite for the backpacking youth—provided you keep the hostel's 12:30 a.m. curfew in mind (there is a lockout from 12:30 a.m. until 7 a.m.).

About the Hostel Domus Civica neighborhood
North of the Rialto Bridge, Venetian life is a bit more relaxed in San Polo. Streets are not as packed, restaurants have more local flavor, and prices tend to be more affordable in general. By day you'll find open-air markets and fish markets ("herbaria"), decked out in frescoed porticos. By night the area is home to hipsters for late-night "cicchetti" and great wines by the glass. You can easily walk to and from the area around the Rialto Bridge to San Marco in t10 minutes.

I just installed 2.4 with the blog module (fresh download of both on July 5) and ran into some issues when I went to change the blog's entry date. When I select a date using the date picker, it shows up in dd/mm/yyyy format and fails validation (expects mm/dd/yyyy).
I looked in the forums and found Mo's entry from about a month ago. It talked about adding the locale setting and used en_NZ, so I figured I'd try setting it to en_NZ (locale setting already existed and was the default en_US, which would be my locale, anyway), but it didn't help. It also mentioned a bug report, which I followed and found a revised version of the DatetimeField file. I downloaded the latest copy of the file and replaced my copy of the file, but it didn't work, either (though it did give me a slightly more useful error than the generic "Javascript error"), AND it triggered a somewhat interesting behavior - with the new code in DatetimeField and nothing else, when I opened the date picker, it defaulted to Sept 7, 2011 (I have no clue where it got that date from).
Has anyone found a way to fix or get around the main issue (wrong date format)? I think it might be minor for me at this point, since I shouldn't be backdating anymore entries, but it'd be nice to be able to use the date picker tool to select the date that I want and have it validate properly on the occasions that I would be selecting a new date. Also, it might help others who are also having trouble and the solutions in the other thread aren't working.

I have the same issue.
I use the date picker and choose, say...May 8, 2010. (05/08/2010)
After saving the page the date shows as August 5, 2010. (08/05/2010)
Any thoughts?
EDIT: Or how to disable the date-picker tool?

And also a happy new year to all! Had the same problem some time ago.
I solved it by installing the locales (dutch in my case) on my webserver.
apt-get install language-pack-nl-base
debian (lenny):
apt-get install debconf
dpkg-reconfigure locales
In Silverstripe i use the following for placing the datefields. Don't know how this is done in the blog module...
$date_field = new DateField('ArticleDate', 'Article date');
$date_field->setConfig('showcalendar', true);
$date_field->setConfig('showdropdown', true);
$date_field->setConfig('dateformat', 'dd-MM-YYYY');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', $date_field, 'Content');
And in _config.php
setlocale(LC_TIME, i18n::get_locale() . '.utf8');
hope this will help.

MySpace teases a new look
The site many people had written off as dead is mounting a comeback, and an early preview video shows some big changes.
The formerly hot social network is trying to revamp itself, and the new video (seen here) shows a top-to-bottom redesign that looks like the child of Pinterest and Tumblr. The new MySpace looks pretty great -- and could be welcomed by people growing weary of Facebook (FB).
The redesign isn't official yet, but MySpace says it will send an invite to people who leave their e-mail addresses.
News Corp. (NWS) bought MySpace in 2005 for a whopping $580 million and watched the company's value decline almost immediately. It finally sold the site for just $35 million in 2010 to Specific Media. Justin Timberlake has also taken an ownership stake.
Reaction to the new look has been mostly positive. "It looks beautiful," gushes The Next Web. "While we can't pass any judgement without actually using the service, this first preview is by far the most inspiring thing we've seen out of Myspace in years," TheVerge writes.
But some observers are still skeptical. "Ugh," Drew Olanoff writes on TechCrunch. "I don't care if a rainbow Unicorn giving out free money starts using the site heavily, I have zero interest."
More from Top Stocks
Nothing will get me to go back to that sorry excuse of a website. That site was overrun by spammers, scammers, junk mailers, bots, and anything else that a third-party website can use to advertise illegally. And the worst part is that Myspace did nothing and allowed it to go on. When I blocked one spammer, 5 more would be messaging me. I got sick of it and asked for my account to be deleted. It took me a dozen and a half e-mails over a 2 1/2 year span to get my account deleted. Myspace should stay in the graveyard where it's been.
Funny, the new introduction to MySpace won't load. It will be difficult to revamp a site that became known as trash. Teenagers and twenty-something's were the one's utilizing the site in order to advertise their drinking, drug use and sexual exploits as well as using the site attempting to promote themselves as what they think people want to see in celebrities. It's an enabler for people who think all they have to do is look like they are somebody rather than actually develop their assets and talents and let those speak for themselves.
Bottom line is that MySpace had a good short run. It's done and over.

"All about getting everyone involved," event coordinator Brian Pekari said. "All about giving back."
The idea for Peraki's organization, dubbed Tracy United To Make A Difference, originated with Pekari's campout outside Freebirds World Burrito in mid-August to win a year's supply of free burritos.
He stayed outside the 11th Street business for three days in hopes of winning food to donate to the McHenry Tracy House Family Shelter and the Tracy Boys and Girls Clubs. He succeeded, donating his free burritos as well as an additional year's supply of burritos given by Freebirds for his effort.
Tracy United is designed to be a place where various organizations all over Tracy can talk about their independent projects and possibly coordinate with one another.
Pekari said there are 60 different groups in town — ranging from schools, service organizations, non-profits and businesses — eager to be a part of the city-wide project.
"Anytime we're reaching outside of ourselves, and not asking for anything in return helps out the community," Pekari said. "Snowball effect."
An idea takes root
The idea to get the community involved with Make a Difference Day started with an early September meeting between Pekari and June Yasemsky, a Hirsch Elementary School student council coordinator.
Yasemsky and her students were some of the first people to jump onto the Make a Difference bandwagon.
Pekari said Yasemsky was inspired by the Freebirds project and told him that her students were collecting items for the Tracy Animal Shelter.
"We always pick these pet projects the kids want to do," Yasemsky said. "We're making a difference, but I always felt we could make a bigger difference with more people on board."
Working with co-council coordinator Therese Ayala, Yasemsky said collection efforts began Sept. 20, with volunteers rounding up a variety of items that includes pet food and toys, rugs, towels and blankets every Friday throughout the school. So far, the group has two large cardboard boxes filled to the brim with donations.
Yasemsky said the goal is to show students they can take care of their community and keep that momentum going when they get older.
The effort continues to gain steam.
On Tuesday, Oct. 2, Yasemsky said she was recently contacted by Boys and Girls Clubs of Tracy Director Robert Pane.
He said he was interested in setting up animal shelter collection boxes at each of the six local clubs, and students at Kimball High School said they, too, would pitch in.
"That's what we were talking about," she said. "We are making an impact, and it's not just one little school. (We're) now going to have bins everywhere. Everything we're talking about makes total sense. Can't argue it. This is how I envisioned it."
Spreading community spirit
Since that first meeting with Yasemsky, Tracy United has had two meetings at the Tracy Transit Station to coordinate community projects with a bevy of other people and organizations.
The most recent, on Oct. 1, included Pekari, Yasemsky and Pane, along with more than 30 people representing various community service outfits, nonprofits and youth groups.
There are plans for another meeting at 7 p.m. Oct. 15 at the building off the Sixth Street Plaza to prepare for Make a Difference Day.
It has been an ongoing event for 22 years, Pekari said, and is considered the largest community service "give-back day" in the nation.
He said although the national day is recognized Oct. 27, events around Tracy will be take place before, during and after that date, which falls on a Saturday.
During the roundtable discussion Oct. 1, Laura Johnston of the Tracy Youth Advisory Commission said her group plans to organize a plastic bottle collection at the West Valley Mall on Naglee Road from Oct. 20 through 27 in the food court area.
"YAC usually takes on a couple of different community service projects, and I mentioned Make a Difference Day and they all supported it," she said. "All came up with the idea to collect water bottles. We're calling it the 'Recycle and Redeem' project."
She said the goal is to collect 4,000 bottles for recycling and donate them to local nonprofit Tracy Interfaith Ministries, which uses the bottles for soap and detergent for distribution to needy families.
To get the collection ball rolling, Johnston laid down a challenge to the four local high schools to see which could collect the most bottles.
"Community supports everything we've done before," Johnston said. "Great way to get people involved in the community and give back."
National recognition possible
Pekari said his group will organize park and road cleanups across the city Oct. 27, which was officially proclaimed Make a Difference Day by the City Council at its Oct. 2 meeting.
Pekari said Tracy Unified members hope to turn Make a Difference Day into an annual event that's accompanied by year-round activities.
"We have so many people who do things behind the scenes, and they are making a difference," Pekari said.
In addition to improving the local community, Pekari told those at the Oct. 1 meeting Tracy has a chance to win $10,000 for local charities if the local effort receives national recognition by Make a Difference Day organizers. He said San Jose won in 2011.
"Individually, we can all make a difference — collectively, we can create lasting change," he said.
Pekari plans to create a graphically designed tree with branches to represent each of the organizations and their causes so that people can more easily see and understand the various organizations linked to Tracy United.
He hopes to erect the tree at City Hall or the West Valley Mall, he said.

What would it have been like if Bella and Edward hadnt met until the night Bella was bitten? What would like be like for them? What if Bella didnt know what she wanted? Would it work out with them?
Chapter 1: Footsteps (Bella POV)
Views: 4961
CHAPTER 28: Explanation (Bella POV)
There's all so much to take in. I wanted to say that I needed a minute to absorb all this but then I was afraid I would stall too long. "I think I may need to know some of the basic things before we keep going with all the more important things. Just that way I fully understand things. Ya know?"
"Yeah that makes sense."
So what exactly did I want to know?
"Why do I feel so bad when I kill a human?" I hope I would never have to feel like that again but I still wanted to know why I did. "I mean, there are times when I can tell that, in my mind, I don't really care what happens to any of them but after what I did to Peter and those kids, I felt horrible! I don't ever want to feel like that again."
"You still have some lingering human emotions tied into you. You know that this is not what you wanted. None of us wanted to be...this...so I think it's hard on all of us when we slip up. But Bella you are a newborn, it was bound to happen. It's okay. You will be okay."
"So you know what I'm talking about." Its hard to think that a person as beautiful and kind as he has been to me has ever hurt anyone.
"Yes." His eyes were full of empathy.
"Have you killed anyone?"
"Yes." His head dropped, pulling his eyes from me. I didn't like not being able to see his eyes.
I asked softly, "A lot of people?"
"Yes." His voice was low. He wouldn't look back up at me. Instead he looked at his hands as he spoke, "There was a time shortly after I was...born...changed whatever you choose to call it, when I went off on my own. I was upset and being rebellious so I left Carlisle. I would follow people around, searching through there thoughts. I looked for people who had done bad things, and figured that this was justice enough. After a while I eventually went back to Carlisle."
I didn't like the look that came over his face. He looked sad…ashamed. Maybe I should have started with something not so heavy?
I wanted to know if I would have to wait everyday until night time to go anywhere. That could get irritating after a while. I don't think I could handle sitting in a room all day watching TV--I didn't even do that when I was human--seeing as how we don't sleep.
My voice was lighter when I asked, "So, can vampire's go outside in the day time? Or am I stuck being confined to a room all day long learning how to knit?" I couldn't help but laugh at that last bit. I thought of my Gran when I said that, she always tried to get me to learn but I never really wanted to. I miss her. Edwards laughter and voice broke my through my thoughts of my summers with her.
"We can go outside but we don't. It would draw too much attention and people would know that we are different. That's why we reside in places where there is not much sun. Like Washington. We like it there. We can go out during the day, have lives. It gives us a little bit of normalcy."
Just as I thought, the myths were wrong. "Okay, so if I won't burst into flames, then what happens?"
"When the sun hits our skin, the sun rays bounces off, creating a shimmer. It's as if there are thousands of tiny diamond facets embedded into our skin. Creating a cascade of tiny red, blue and green shimmers. Almost like a disco ball."
"So I'm now a dead, walking disco ball craving human blood. Great." Well, at least I won't be stuck inside all day.
"I've never heard it put that way but yeah." He laughs. Well at least there wasn't such a heavy mood in the room now.
"Can vampires eat human food?"
"If someone dared you to eat dirt, you could, couldn't you?" He smiled at me.
"I did once actually." I winced at the memory. "It was nasty."
His face scrunched as he smiled wide at me, "Why did you eat dirt?"
"A boy dared me so I did it. I hate that 'boys are better than girls' crap."
"I see. We can eat human food and do so when we have to in order to keep up the façade. It's just not that great. It's even worse coming up."
Gross. I hope it didn't ever have to come to that with me. Throwing up is one of the things I hated the most. It was nasty! I'm sure my face gave away what I was thinking because Edward busted out laughing.
"Yeah I know how you feel." He smiled at me.
That smile was growing on me more and more. There was something that I felt when he smiled at me like that, I can't explain it. I felt whole and safe. Something about it made me want to open up completely to him. Tell him everything I was feeling inside. How I felt when he was around me. How I felt inside when he smiled at me or when he was near me. I wanted to know more about him. I had to know about him.
"Edward…how old are you?"
"I'm seventeen. I've been seventeen awhile. Since 1918. That's when Carlisle found me. So technically I'm one hundred and nine."
"Yup." He just simply shook his head at me.
"Who did it?" He looked at me and I quickly felt like maybe it was too much too soon for me to be prying into his personal past as he's here trying to help me. First the killing people question and now this. "I'm sorry. This is probably not what you want to talk about. You don't have to answer that."
"No, it's okay. Carlisle. He was a doctor working in the hospital my mother and I were in. We were both sick with Spanish Influenza. My father had passed and my mother knew she didn't have much longer. So in her last hour she asked for one thing; for Carlisle to do what she knew he could to save me. No matter what it took. He said that she somehow knew that he was different and that he could save me, in a way. It took a lot of thought and consideration on his part. He said had thought about it but never thought he would actually go through with it. Changing anyone. So I was the first. And not long after he found Esme."
"Wow." I didn't know what else to say. There was so much more thought and meaning behind why Edward was like this. It wasn't just some ruthless, crazed dead person looking for their next meal. "I'm sorry about you mother and father. That must have been hard for you to go through all alone then to go through this right after."
"It was hard at first. But over the years I learned that my mother would have never asked anything of Carlisle if she didn't want only better for me. She didn't want me to die. She wanted me to live and have a shot at a life. Granted this isn't exactly what she had in mind I'm sure, but this was as close as I was going to get. I understand now. And plus I had Carlisle so I wasn't completely alone. Then Esme came along. And they have been like parents to me every day of my new life." He loved them so much I could tell.
Now, there was a question I wasn't sure I wanted to ask. Because I'm afraid of the answer. Of what he will say or what he will think after I ask. Should I?
"Are you okay?" How did he do that? How could he tell when something was bothering me? "Your about to make a whole in your lip from chewing on it so much." He laughed. Okay maybe that wasn't helping much.
"I want to ask you something but I'm kinda afraid to."
"Don't be. You can ask me anything." Again with the smile.
I had to do this quick. "Edward, why do I feel so...connected to you? I mean...I...why is this is hard to describe?" I couldn't look at him as I asked.
"Bella the connection you and I have is...something strong, binding. Do you believe in soul mates?"
Soul mates? What? "I...I don't know? I mean I never really thought about it."
The reason you feel so connected to me…is the same reason I feel connected to you.
"Connected to me? What do you mean?"
Looking me straight in the eye, he told me what he meant. "Bella you are my mate. We are meant to be together. You are my soul mate. We belong together."
Was he serious? How could that be?
"I know this may sound strange, but Bella, I have loved you from the moment I met you. The love I have for you, how I feel, I cant describe it. Its nothing I have ever felt before. I didn't know it then, but after talking to my father I understood it. He helped me understand it."
What if he was right? I've never been in love before so I wouldn't know 'LOVE' if it hit me in my face. Apparently it was sitting in front of me. I knew something was changing. Is this what I was feeling? Did I love Edward? I felt safe with him, happy, secure, and very connected to him. Is that what this is?
While I was sitting here getting ambushed by my thoughts, trying to absorb what he was telling me, Edward had made his way from the chair he was in to the sofa I was in and sat next to me. The feel of his soft skin on mine, holding my hand, brought me back to meet his eyes staring deep into mine.
"The connection between mates is something so strong. We mate for life. There will never be anyone else. Ever. Vampires love some much stronger, deeper, than humans. It's a love that is never ending and undivided. We love our mate with everything we have.
"Edward, I..." I couldn't comprehend what he was telling me. My head felt like it was spinning.
"I know, it's okay. This is new to us both. Like I said, I'm here--no matter what."
And just like that, without warning, Edward leaned in close to me. Our eyes searched each others for a few seconds before mine finally shut. His lips found mine.

WordPress 3.4 is shaping up to be an exciting release for theme developers.
The biggest news is that the after two years(!), the theme installer will now support child themes.
Also support for custom header sizes, new API called WP_Themes along with the removal of constants for custom headers and backgrounds.
And(!), page templates can now be placed in their own sub-directory.
When you throw away code and start from scratch, you are throwing away all that knowledge. All those collected bug fixes. Years of programming work.
Git, you're making me feel like a dunce.
No love,
P.S. Give me time. I'll come around
The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila, for example, owns more than 300 million shares of BPI and is the bank's 4th largest owner. How much are these shares worth? As of May 2011, this is valued at more than P17 billion. Yes, that's seventeen billion pesos, with a B. Aside from banking, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila, together with its subsidiary hospitals and companies, is also invested in mining and construction
I'm curious to know where this money is being spent. Where are the financial statements?
What gall to imagine they are the Catholic Church. What spleen to imagine they represent the bishopric at all. What bile to call on the faithful to defend their faith.
Not least by trashing the memory of all the priests and nuns, the bishops and lay workers, who marched with the poor, fists raised in solidarity and voices sounded like trumpets at the walls of tyranny, reminding the faithful they had a faith, and their faith made them strong, and their faith made them free.

Firefox 4 brings many new features in the Graphics department, notably hardware acceleration and WebGL. However, when we turned these features on by default in nightly builds around September last year, and then in Beta 7, crash statistics and bug reports quickly showed that bugs in graphics drivers were often making these features misbehave. We reacted by selectively disabling these new features on buggy drivers, based on the large amounts of information collected by beta testers. Of course, Firefox remains fully functional: only these new features get disabled.
The resulting driver blocklist is worth reading if you want to get the most out of Firefox 4:
- Windows users with Intel cards: you need a very recent driver.
- Windows users with NVIDIA cards: you need driver version 257.21 or newer.
- Windows users with ATI cards: you need driver version 10.6 or newer.
- Instructions are also given for Mac and X11 (Linux/Unix).
Unfortunately, certain computer manufacturers do not allow end users to upgrade drivers on their own. Hopefully these manufacturers will eventually give their users these much needed graphics driver updates.

Beige Book in the Classroom
Beige Book discussion questions and suggested answers
What is the Beige Book?
The Beige Book is a report on the nation's current economic conditions that is published eight times a year by the Federal Reserve. Each of the 12 Federal Reserve Bank districts gathers anecdotal information on its region's economy through reports from Bank and branch directors and interviews with key business contacts, economists, market experts, and other sources. The Beige Book summarizes this information by district and industrial sector. The summary of the 12 districts' reports is prepared by a designated Federal Reserve Bank on a rotating basis. Read more
Study Questions: Beige Book, published January 2014
- Characterize the overall national economic activity reported by the 12 Federal Reserve districts in the January 2014 Beige Book.
- Reports from the 12 Federal Reserve districts suggest that economic activity continued to expand across most regions and sectors from late November through the end of the year. Nine districts indicated that the local economy was expanding at a moderate pace. Boston and Philadelphia cited modest growth, and Kansas City reported that its economy held steady in December. The economic outlook is positive in most districts, with some reports citing expectations of "more of the same" and others anticipating a pickup in growth. Retail activity in three-quarters of the districts had increased since the last Beige Book; the exceptions were St. Louis, Kansas City, and Richmond. Most districts noted increased construction and residential sales activity, as well as rising home prices. A few reported that home sales or residential construction in some areas had slowed or declined in recent months. In the eight districts that report on energy, activity continued to increase, with Cleveland and Atlanta citing robust growth in the energy sector. Reports on transportation services were generally positive, and districts mentioning consumer and business services reported that demand for nonfinancial services had increased moderately since the last Beige Book report.
- Automobile sales declined slightly in the New York, Philadelphia, and Kansas City districts; remained strong in the Richmond, Atlanta and San Francisco districts; and were mixed in Dallas. What is the 2014 outlook for vehicle sales?
- The 2014 outlook for vehicle sales is strong in Philadelphia, Richmond, Cleveland, Kansas City, and San Francisco.
- Discuss what contacts said about tourism spending in the Minneapolis, San Francisco, and Kansas City districts.
- Minneapolis reported that winter tourism activity was off to a solid start because of snowy weather. The Kansas City District indicated that tourism activity had increased slightly since the last Beige Book. However, the San Francisco District reported that travel and tourism were down in Hawaii and remained somewhat weak in Las Vegas.
- Contacts in the Chicago District said that late holiday spending may have been affected by a negative nationwide occurrence that shook consumer confidence. Explain.
- Contacts noted a negative impact on late holiday sales, probably because some customers were hesitant to use debit and credit cards after a data security breach at a large national retailer.
- Discuss the three specific areas of manufacturing strength that several districts mentioned.
- The Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco districts reported exceptional strength in commercial aviation, driven by record backlogs at major aircraft producers. The Richmond, Chicago, and San Francisco districts mentioned that the housing market recovery has led to increased demand for construction materials from raw materials such as lumber to finished products like kitchen cabinets. The Boston, Cleveland, Atlanta, and Chicago districts reported above-average strength in the auto industry.
- What district reports on the Port sector and explain some of the conditions that were reported in the Beige Book?
- Contacts in the Richmond District reported a strong year-over-year increase in traffic, even after accounting for the diversions of cargo from northern ports that resulted from last year's major hurricane. Paper, pulp, and agricultural exports were especially robust. Auto units were down slightly from a year ago, but remained strong. Exports of agricultural and construction machinery increased from earlier this fall, but declined slightly from a year earlier. In contrast to softer demand in domestic markets, foreign coal shipments rose slightly during the same period.
- Describe overall economic activity in the Cleveland District.
- The District's economy continued to expand at a moderate pace during the past six weeks. Single-family home construction starts were significantly above year-ago levels. Nonresidential builders saw business pick up. Retailers report stronger sales. Freight shipments were above expectations. Hiring was sluggish across most sectors.
- How did the Cleveland District's manufacturing sector fare in the past six weeks?
- District factories indicated that demand continued at a moderate-to-robust level over the past six weeks. Most of the contacts have a positive outlook for 2014 and expect demand for their products to remain at current levels. The firms that anticipate the strongest activity are suppliers to the aerospace, housing, motor-vehicle, and oil and gas industries. The recently enacted federal budget agreement is viewed as providing a boost to defense contractors in the upcoming year.
- One contact in the Cleveland District reported a slowdown in sales of teen clothing and school supplies through 2013. To what could this be attributed?
- This contact believes that slowing in the sales of teen clothing and school supplies throughout 2013 is due to a high level of teen unemployment.
- What does the Beige Book say about capacity utilization in the Cleveland District's manufacturing sector?
- Most manufacturers reported capacity utilization rates that were within a normal range. Many respondents said that they have excess production capacity and could easily absorb any increase in demand. Auto parts suppliers were described as operating near capacity. A few steel producers reported lower capacity utilization, partly because of excess global capacity.

Julia and her adopted brother, David, are sixteen-years-old. Julia is white. David is black. It is the mid-1980s and their family has just moved to rural Indiana, a landscape of cottonwood trees, trailer parks, and an all-encompassing racism. At home are a distant mother more involved with her church's missionaries than her own children and a violent father. In this riveting and heartrending memoir Julia Scheeres takes us from the Midwest to a place beyond imagining: surrounded by natural beauty, the Escuela Caribea religious reform school in the Dominican Republicis characterized by a disciplinary regime that extracts repentance from its students by any means necessary. Julia and David strive to make it through these ordeals and their tale is relayed here with startling immediacy, extreme candor, and wry humor.
©2006 Julia Scheeres (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
"Like the best writers, Scheeres offers her characters in the fullness of the contradictions they hold in tension, and with great and clear-sighted empathy, and at the end of the audiobook, the listener might say: They're so much like me." (Salon.com)
I'm Audible's first Editor-at-Large, the host of In Bed with Susie Bright -- and a longtime author, editor, journo, and bookworm. I listen to audio when I'm cooking, playing cards, knitting, going to bed, waking up, driving, and putting other people's kids to bed! My favorite audiobooks, ever, are: "True Grit" and "The Dog of the South."
"A Story of the Most Un-Christ-like Christians"
Sheeres shares jaw-dropping stories from her childhood in the mid-1980s when her Bible-obsessed parents moved their family to Indiana. Her two adopted brothers, both African-American, faced cruelty and racism in and outside the home, a 15-acre farm where the children were little more than slaves.
Christian radio served as an alarm clock at six o'clock in the morning. Spy speakers were installed around the house so that all their conversations could be heard by the mother. The violent father, whose favorite biblical injunction was "spare the rod, spoil the child" beat the sons countless times and left permanent scars.
Eventually, Sheeres and her younger brother were sent away to an over-the-top Christian boot camp in Latin America that takes a "by-any-means-necessary" approach to getting repentance from the students. You can't help but wonder if the kids are going to be killed.
"Jesus Land - how NOT to be a Christian"
This book was not enjoyable in the sense that it was happy, hopeful, or even primarily redemptive. In fact, many passages of this book made me angry - not at the author, but at her parents (her father's abuse and her mother's cold indifference and hypocrisy)... and then to add reform "school" on top? This is not the Jesus I know... any of it!
I have to include the black v. white race issue here, as it was prominently displayed in the book. I honestly challenge anyone to find where in the Bible it says that black people are inferior, as for some reason that seemed to be the prevailing belief in conservative America...
I read this book on the heels of reading Lauren Drain's "Banished - surviving my years in the Westboro Baptist Church". There are many parallels, and yet these two women have come out completely different - one a secular humanist with no need for religion; the other still seeking answers and believing that there is a God of love out there..
Elizabeth Evans was incredible as a narrator for this book. She infused so much of the teen angst, pain and frustration that Julia must have felt... I felt like a young Julia Scheeres was telling me her story.
As stated above, many parts of this book made me angry. It is a cautionary expression of the Biblical words for parents not to grieve their children. It causes me to reflect on how I plan to raise my own children as a Christian. They will need so much more than just food and shelter - they will need love and affection, something notably absent from Julia's parents.
This book is not representative of all Christians, or Christ Himself. I personally believe that one can be a strong believer in Christ and neither hold so many convictions as to stomp out compassion and grace nor so few as to be ineffective. Christ - as portrayed in the Bible - is not a brutal task master nor a spineless sissy.
I applaud Julia Scheeres for writing this brutally honest book and Elizabeth Evans for perfectly narrating it.
"Fascinating Listen!"
I thought the reader got the essence of the author and I forgot that I wasn't listening to a young woman telling her own story. The story of conservative religion affecting young teenagers mixed with racial intolerance tell the story of our similiar South African experience with that era.
I found Julia's candidness regarding her own personal journey most affecting as well as the relationship with her brother, David. There were moments when I groaned aloud at the abuses that happened to both of them.
I could not stop listening.
I loved the similarity to my own growing up in a racially intolerant society - one that didn't understand teenagers at all and spent no time in changing that attitude.
She afforded the mother a sharp, intolerant voice that I may not have been as affected by. She brought Julia to life through her complimenting the excitement, or sadness with her tone of voice.
There were many because she took me back to me being a teenager. I think that every time the love that Julia had for David was related, it reminded me of the relationships that one has with one's siblings in an environment when children are trying to survive - when on the outside everything looks perfect.
I have just bought her other book. Julia fascinated me so much with her amazing resilience and her love for her brother.
"A story of survival"
I originally chose this book because I am a native to Indiana--little did I know that when I started listening to it, they were residents in Lafayette, IN which is a town only 20 minutes from where I grew up.
It's a true story of survival in a family that uses religion as an excuse to be abusive to their children, both emotionally and physically.
David's continued desire to have a "family" despite the physical and emotional abuse he endured.
One of the last moments that Julia and David got to spend together on the beach
"How I never want to go there!!"
Maybe, but hopefully the rest of her life wasn't so harrowing.
Clarity of the thought process and flow.

Detroit is an up-and-coming little Hollywood, if the recent spate of movies being filmed there is any indication.
First Disney's "Oz The Great and Powerful," and now Ryan Gosling's directorial debut "How to Catch a Monster" looks like it will be filmed there as well.
Lots of folks on Twitter reported seeing him at the Starbucks in Grosse Pointe over the weekend.
According to the Cafe D'Mongo's Speakeasy Facebook page (which, by the way, looks like a pretty amazing place) - Ryan Gosling also stopped by there while he was in town.
IMDB describes the plot of Gosling's movie: "A single mother is swept into a dark underworld, while her teenage son discovers a road that leads him to a secret underwater town."
It stars Saoirse Ronan, Christina Hendricks, and Eva Mendes. 'Monster' is currently in pre-production.

I did? I'm pretty sure that was Glenna, I haven't signed in her account lately. She's elenagilbertfuckingsucks. Well I deleted them because we don't repeat the same confessions, lol. There's also some pissy ones saying "how dare you hate Kennet but ship klaroline" ahhhhh haaa
There's also some pissy ones saying "how dare you hate Kennet but ship klaroline" ahhhhh haaalol hypocrites. Why is Klaroline so terrible but Kennett is okay? Why was Klaroline's first scene "boring" and "creepy" but Kennett's five second eye flirt was "hot"? *eye roll* I can't believe you posted that anti-Kol confession. You stirred up some shit and Damon/Klaus got dragged into the mess. My poor bby. :( But those Kennett fans are so irritating. I get it that they love their ship and Kol but any opinion that is against theirs and they have their pitchforks ready to attack. Get over it babies.
Just doing my job. that confession wasn't breaking the guidelines, and the owner told us to tag confessions that way so if certain fans get bitter then they know where the block button is. We almost have 11,000 follows so I'd think if we were really bad then they'd all just leave or report us. Plus that's the only anti Kol message we ever got, and I saw the butthurt police bring up Damon/Klaus.
The other day I deleted this one, "one day I hope klaus becomes tylers little bitch"
