Description: This gripping film is based on the true story of the murder of three young boys in West Memphis, Ark. and the murder trial that shocked the nation. May 5, 1993. West Memphis, Arkansas. Three young boys playing in the nearby woods never come home for dinner. In the rush to find and convict the killers, police focus on a trio of teenagers suspected of devil worship. As the mother of one of the murdered boys tries to come to grips with this unspeakable tragedy, she is desperate to believe that the killers have been found and will be brought to justice. It is only when an investigator reveals that the evidence doesn't all add up, that the community is forced to face the reality that the true killer might still be out there.

In Office 2003 etc, double clicking a toolbar item (eg a connector), put it in an 'auto mode' where you could continue to add connectors one after the other, without going back each time to click the connector icon.
In the ribbon interface I can't see how to do this. Anyone know how?

Treetops: An Aura of Glamour, a Trail of Tragedies
By JACK CAVANAUGH
Published: May 18, 1997
IN florid prose, newspaper advertisements sing the praises of a neo-Georgian 30-room-plus mansion set on 110 acres lying in both Stamford and Greenwich. The property is replete with an art studio, four greenhouses, a two-story caretaker's cottage and hiking trails. A large-scale renovation in the 80's resulted in the elimination of a tennis court and a swimming pool; at one time there were 14 bedrooms and now there are 7. But all over the estate remain millions of daffodils, including a strain named after the property's longtime owner, the torch singer and actress Libby Holman.
The advertisements fail to mention the asking price. Still, anyone familiar with Treetops, the estate built by Ms. Holman in the late 1930's, when she was a star on Broadway, suspects the successful bid might be in the millions. Many people also remember that Stamford could have had the mansion and 40 acres of the estate for use as parkland and a cultural center for no charge if in 1978 one more member of the city's Board of Finance had voted in favor of accepting what in effect was an outright gift from the Holman estate. Though the then-Mayor, Louis A. Clapes, a Republican, and seemingly just about everyone else in the city seemed eager to accept the magnanimous offer, two Republican members of the Finance Board voted against a proposal that would have required the city to allot $58,000 annually to maintain the mansion and the grounds. Five votes were needed for acceptance; only four were cast.
''They absolutely made a mistake,'' said the current Mayor of Stamford, Dannel P. Malloy.
''It was a disaster,'' said Moira Lyons, a Democrat of Stamford and Majority Leader of the State House of Representatives.
''I was quite shocked when they turned it down,'' said Jack Clareman, Ms. Holman's longtime lawyer and the executor of her estate.
''It was stupid,'' said Percy Lee Langstaff, the president of the Stamford Land Conservation Trust.
The estate was offered to the city when Boston University, to which the property had been bequeathed by Ms. Holman for a fine arts center, decided to leave five years later. As it developed, the city's rejection of the Holman estate offer became even more painful two years later when Champion International, whose world headquarters are in Stamford, bought the 40 acres on the Stamford side for almost $2 million. The company later purchased the 70 acres in Greenwich for $2.5 million.
One of the two members of the Stamford Board of Finance who voted against accepting Treetops free of charge was Leonard Vignola. That came as a shock to preservationists as Mr. Vignola was a professed conservationist. Nineteen years later, Mr. Vignola said he had no regrets about his vote.
''We didn't have the skills to maintain the place and didn't know how much it would cost to do so,'' Mr. Vignola said in an interview. ''And besides it wasn't an outright gift; it was a 99-year lease.''
But Mr. Clareman, the executor of Ms. Holman's estate, disputed that point. ''There was no lease arrangement,'' he said. ''We offered Treetops to the city of Stamford outright, as a gift. And they knew how much it would cost to maintain because we told them.''
Now, Stamford may get a second chance at the estate. Only this time, it will cost money, lots of money. Unless, that is, Champion donates the land, the hope of conservationists and preservationists. They concede it is unlikely.
''It's a long shot, but it's worth pursuing,'' said Ralph Nichols, of the Cummings & Lockwood law firm in Stamford, who represented Ms. Holman's estate in Connecticut following her death in 1971. ''But I'm not as sanguine about Stamford getting it as I was back in the 70's.''
Mr. Nichols is one of a group trying to raise enough money to at least make a bid for Treetops. Among the others are preservationist and environmental groups in Stamford and Greenwich, along with State Senator William Nickerson, a Reublican of Greenwich, and State Representative Lyons. Aligned with them are, among others, Mayor Malloy and the Greenwich First Selectman, Tom Ragland.
Since acquiring the property, Champion has been using the mansion for meetings and conferences. ''When we bought it,'' explained Dave Brandel, a Champion executive, ''there were hardly any hotels in the area, so it came in handy as a place for some of our people to stay. But now we don't need it for lodging, and the conference and meeting space is not always sufficient.'' So the sale was set.
Champion has not said how much it expects to get for the estate. ''We're not going to set a price,'' said Gael Doar, another Champion official. The company's advertisement said only that it would consider proposals for the entire property or for ''major elements of the estate.''
Last week, Ms. Doar said that several real estate brokers and some individuals had expressed an interest in Treetops after seeing the advertisement. But she said that no one had made a specific bid and that another advertisement probably would be placed in the near future.

One woman was sent to the hospital after a small plane crash just south of Billard Airport.
It happened around 1:30 this afternoon when according to Topeka firefighters the plane stalled shortly after takeoff.
The pilot tried to land in a nearby plow field, but the plane ended up landing nose first.
A woman in her mid-sixties was taken to the hospital with minor injuries and a man in his mid-fifties refused treatment at the scene.
There are no severe injuries. The FAA has taken over the investigation to find an exact cause of the crash.

Pyelitis occurring in the pregnant woman is an important complication of pregnancy. Its importance is based on (1) the effect of the infection on the general health of the mother; (2) the local changes in the urinary tract; (3) the potential invasion of the puerperal uterus, and (4) its tendency to produce abortion, stillbirth, and prematurity in the fetus.
It is not my purpose to present the entire subject in this paper, but to offer certain facts for consideration that have received little attention in the present literature.
There has been marked divergence of opinion as to the mode of entrance of the infecting organism into the pelvis of the kidney in pyelitis of pregnancy. Most French authorities assert that the organisms invade the blood stream from some focus in the body, usually the intestinal tract, and particularly when a coexisting chronic constipation is present.

Floodplain management
Erosion: Erosion is the wearing away of something. When talking about rivers it normally means the wearing away of the bed, banks and its load.
Attrition: This when load in a rivers flow crash into each other, causing pieces to break off.
Hydraulic Action: This is when air and water gets trapped in cracks on a rivers beds and banks. The build up of pressure within the cracks causes bits of the bed and banks to break off and the cracks to get bigger.
Corrosion (solution): When the slight acidity of water cause bits of load and the bed and the banks to dissolve.
Corrasion (abrasion): When bits of load crash into the bed and banks. This process causes the load, bed and banks to wear away.
Factors Affecting the Rate of Erosion
Load: If the river has large angular load, then it is more likely to erode.
Velocity and Discharge: The faster the river is travelling and the greater its discharge the more likely the river is to erode.
Gradient: The steeper a river is the more likely it is to erode.
Geology: Softer rock and particularly unconsolidated rock like sand are going to be more vulnerable to erosion. Sedimentary rock with lots of cracks is going to be more vulnerable to hydraulic action.
pH: If water is more acidic it is obviously going to increase the rate of erosion (corrosion).
Human Impact: Humans can affect erosion in many ways; deforestation can increase run-off and therefore the discharge of the river, pollution can increase the acidity of the river, dams can remove load and increase clear water erosion, irrigation may remove water and therefore reduce velocity.
Clear water erosion: This happens in rivers with little load. It is simply the power of the water that is causing the banks and the bed to erode.
Vertical Erosion: In a rivers upper course there tends to be more vertical erosion. The main reason for this is the river is above its base level and most of its load is big. Because the load is big, most is bedload which means erosion is mainly concentrated on the bed, therefore eroding downwards.
Horizontal (lateral) Erosion: In the middle and lower course, more of the rivers load is smaller and the river is near its base level. Because the load is lighter, more is suspended load so there is greater erosion on the river banks.
Base level: This is the lowest level that a river can erode to. You can have artificial base levels e.g. a dam, but normally the base level of the river is sea level. It is impossible for a river to erode below its base level because water can not travel up hill.
|Transportation: When a river has surplus energy it may carry some of the material that it has eroded.
Traction: Load that is rolled along the bed of the river.
Saltation: Load that is bounced along the bed of the river.
Suspension: Load that is transported in a rivers' flow (current).
Solution: Load that is dissolved by a river and then transported by it.
Flotation: Material transported on the surface of a river.
The larger pieces of material tend to be transported along a rivers' bed. As they get smaller they can they be transported in the current (flow). Only the smallest bits may be dissolved.
The processes of erosion and transportation tend to make a rivers' load smoother and rounder as you move from the source to the mouth.
Deposition: When the velocity of a river falls causing its energy to fall. Because the energy of the river is falling so does its capacity and competence, causing to put down its load. This process of putting down load is deposition.
|Hjulstrom Curve: A graph that shows the relationship between river velocity and particle size when looking at a rivers' ability to erode. transport and deposit.
Competence: The maximum diameter of a piece of load that a river can transport.
Capacity: The maximum amount of load that a river can transport.
Critical Erosion Velocity: The minimum velocity that a river needs to be traveling for it to start eroding and then transporting material.
Settling (or fall) Velocity: The velocity that a river needs to fall below to start depositing its load.
What apparent anomaly with the Hjulstrom curve is that it can erode sand at a much lower velocity than it can erode clay and silt. This is because that clay and silt are very cohesive (they stick together). This means that even though the particles sizes are small they have a very strong bond between them.
River Landforms
|A rivers course is often divided into the upper course, the middle course and the lower course.
Upper Course: This is the section of the river nearest the source. This is where load is biggest and most erosion is vertical. Most landforms are made by erosion and include; waterfalls, gorges, rapids, v-shaped valleys and interlocking spurs.
Middle Course: This is the section when the river leaves the mountains and enters are more hilly environment. The valley floors starts to widen as you get more horizontal erosion. The landforms that you get in the middle course include alluvial fans and meanders.
Lower Course: This is the section closest to the mouth. Here the river is travelling over much flatter land and the load is much smaller and smoother. This is more horizontal erosion here as the river nears its base level. The landforms you find in the lower course include meanders, oxbow lakes, braided rivers, levees and deltas.
Classification of Landforms: As well as classifying landforms as upper, middle and lower course landforms, it is also possible to classify them as erosional, depositional and erosional and depositional.
Alluvial River: An alluvial river is any river that carries load. Nearly all rivers (except some rivers flowing over ice shelves and glaciers) carry load.
Fluvial: Anything found on or made by a river. This includes all landforms.
|Meanders: Very simply a meander is a bend or a curve in a river. Why a river starts to bend is not fully understood, but one theory believes it is to do with riffles (shallow sections) and pools (deep sections). The river flows through the pools and around the riffles starting a meander.
Slip-off Slope (point bar): A slip-off slope is found on the inside of a meander. This is where the flow is slowest and deposition takes place.
River Cliff: A river cliff is found on the outside of a meander where the flow is fastest and erosion takes place.
Thalweg: Simply the fastest section of a river. Normally the section with least friction.
Sinuous: This means bend, if a river is sinuous then it is very bendy.
|Levees: Levees are embankments found on the sides of a river channel. Levees can be made by or enlarged by humans, but we are only interested in levees that are made naturally. Levees are made when a river exceeds bankfull discharge i.e. it is in flood.
When a river floods onto its floodplain then the river immediately experiences greater friction. The friction causes the velocity of the river to fall. As the rivers velocity and energy falls is starts to deposit its load. The heaviest load is deposited first. The lighter load (alluvium) will be deposited further away from the river. As more and more load is deposited by the banks of the river levees start to develop.
Levees actually increase the size of the river channel and can reduce the risk of flooding in the future.
Alluvium: This is basically the rivers load that is deposited on floodplains in times of flood. Alluvium has a lot of minerals and nutrients so it help fertilise the floodplain and benefits agriculture.
|River Terraces: A river terrace is an old floodplain separated from the new floodplain by a steep slope.It can be created by changes in a rivers load, changes in sea level, or human activity.
Changes in sea level: If the sea levels drop then so does the rivers base level. This means that a river can now carry out more vertical erosion, creating a lower floodplain.
Rivers load: If the size or quantity of a rivers load increases (possibly because the river is traveling over different rock or deforestation has lead to more weathering) then there might more bedload and more vertical erosion.
Human Activity: The building of a dam can cause more clear water vertical downstream, or deforestation can increase surface run-off and erosion increasing the amount of load in a river. Both human actions can cause the river and the floodplain to lower, leaving behind river terraces.
|Braided River: A braided river is a river with a number of smaller channels, separated by small and often temporary islands called eyots. Braided rivers usually form on rivers with variable flow (wet and dry season or snow melt season) and high quantities of load. When a river is at maximum discharge it is able to transport most of its load. However, when the discharge falls along with the velocity an energy of the river, deposition starts to take place, creating eyots.
|Oxbow Lake: An oxbow lake is a meander that has become cut off from the main river channel. If you have the outside of two meanders near each other they will eventually connect. They connect because erosion is at its maximum on the outside of the meander. When they eventually connect the thalweg (fastest flow) will no longer go around the old meander, but actually go in a straight line. This meas that the outside of the river channel now has a slower flow so deposition takes place cutting off the old meander.
|Floodplain: The floor of the valley floor that gets flooded when a river exceeds bankfull discharge. Floodplains tend to be much wider in a rivers' lower course where horizontal erosion has had a greater effect.
Bluff line: The outer limits of the floodplain. The bluff line is basically the edge of the valley floor.
Strand line: A line of load (usually sticks and litter) that is deposited at the limit of a flood.
River Valley: A long depression following the course of a river. It is made by the erosive power of the river. In a rivers' upper course a valley tends to be quite narrow, but very deep and often formed in a v-shape. In the lower course valley's tend to be much wider, but less deep. The outer limit of a river valley is basically its watershed.
Alluvial deposits (alluvium): Load that is deposited by a river in time of flood.
|Human Modifications (Urban Hydrology): Humans can change the hydrology of rivers in many ways. Below is a summary of some of the most common.
Subsidence - USGS
Rising water threatens London - BBC article
Flood Management Strategies
Hard engineering: Physically building structures to try and prevent flooding. Hard engineering usually involves the use of concrete, steel, rock and wood.
Soft engineering: This is working more with nature to provide flooding. This might involve planting trees or restoring the natural course of a river.
|Channel Enlargement(widening/deepening): Making the width and depth of the river wider and deeper to increase its cross-sectional area.
|Channel Straightening: Removing meanders from a river to make the river straighter.
|Flood Relief Channels: Building new artificial channels that are used when a river nears bankfull discharge.
|Artificial Stores: Creating reservoirs or lakes that can store excess water in times of flood.
|Advantages: By enlarging the cross-sectional area you are increasing the bankfull discharge of the river along with its hydraulic radius. This will increase the velocity of the river and reduce the chances of it flooding in the immediate area by moving the floodwater further on downstream.
Disadvantages: If buildings are built up to the river bank it might not be possible to enlarge the channel. Also the process can be expensive and can cause problems to areas downstream who are receiving more flood water quicker, but with an un-enlarged channel.
|Advantages: By removing meanders the velocity of the water through a settlement will increase. This will stop a backlog of water and should reduce the risk of flooding. It also improves navigation.
Disadvantages: By changing the course of the river, you might remove flowing water from industries that depend on it. There might also be building that have to be demolished to allow straightening. Again it is expensive and may cause flooding problems downstream.
|Advantages: They take the pressure off the main channels when floods are likely therefore reduce flood risk.
Disadvantages: It can be hard find land to build relief channels, they are expensive and when empty can become areas to dump rubbish, etc. If river levels rise significantly it is also possible for relief channels to flood as well.
|Advantages: They can remove pressure of the main channel and can become new habitats and serve other purposes e.g. leisure, drinking water.
Disadvantages: Building dams, sluices, diversion channels are all expensive. They also involve flooding areas of land which may be hard to find near large vulnerable urban populations.
|Flood Embankments (levees): Like levees these increase the channel depth of a river, raising its bankfull discharge and reducing the risk of flood.
|Controlled Flooding: Allowing low value land e.g. farmland to flood, therefore protecting higher value areas.
|Afforestation / Reforestation: Simply planting more trees in a drainage basin.
|Flood Proofing: This is making property less vulnerable to flooding or flood damage. This might be temporary like using sandbags or design by removing carpets downstairs.
|Advantages: They increase the cross-sectional area of the river and therefore its hydraulic radius. This should reduce the risk of flooding.
Disadvantages: Like in New Orleans under extreme conditions, embankments may fail causing even bigger problems. They are expensive to build and again may cause problems downstream.
|Advantages: By allowing the river to flood naturally you are taking the pressure of high value areas, you are letting the river behave more naturally and it adds alluvium to the floodplain.
Disadvantages: You have to make the decision what is worth protecting which is always going to upset someone. You also have to protect areas that you don't want to flood which costs money (cost benefit analysis)
|Advantages: This is a natural process, increasing the amount of interception, transpiration and root uptake. People would not normally protest against trees being planted.
Disadvantages: It is not possible to cover the whole drainage basin in trees, so if it rains in an area with no trees, then there is no reduction in flooding. Also most trees lose there leaves in autumn and winter reducing interception in those months.
|Advantages: This can be done on an individual level and can be relatively cheap. Temporary protection can be removed under normal circumstances so it does not change the aesthetics of properties.
Disadvantages: Temporary defences can usually only protect against minor floods. Not everyone will be happy with having to redesign their houses.
|Insurance: Although it doesn't prevent flooding, it can help individuals and industries to recover and protect against future flooding.
|Land Use Planning (zoning): Mapping areas by looking at there likelihood to flood and then only building low value uses on areas with high flood risk.
|Contour Ploughing and Strip Cultivation: Either ploughing with the contours creating temporary surface stores or leaving vegetation to increase interception and transpiration
|Interception Channels: These are channels that divert a rivers' discharge around settlements. The old channel remains but with a smaller discharge.
|Advantages: It helps individuals and settlements to recover after flood events and may help them protect property and be less vulnerable in the future.
Disadvantages: They do not actually prevent flooding. Not everyone can afford insurance and insurance companies may not insure high risk areas.
|Advantages: Very good at removing high value areas and high density populations from hazardous areas.
Disadvantages: It is not always possible to change land uses that already exist in an area. You have to decide what size flood to map for e.g. a once in ten year flood or once in one hundred year flood. Often poor will still choose to live on marginal land.
|Advantages: Contour ploughing is simply a cheap and easy change in existing farming methods, Keeping vegetation is natural and relatively cheap.
Disadvantages: Won't protect against big floods and farmers may not be happy giving up farmland, simply to grow trees.
|Advantages: They remove pressure of the main river and areas of high land value. They may also develop into new habitats for plants and animals.
Disadvantages: They are expensive, may flood themselves in times of heavy floods and may restrict future urban growth.
|Settlement Removal: Moving settlements from high risk flood areas to less vulnerable locations often on higher land.
|Dams: Often built as part of a multipurpose scheme, they create artificial stores which can hold water in times of increased precipitation.
|Wing Dykes: Barriers placed out into a river, these can be used to divert the cause of rivers by shifting the thalweg of rivers. This may move the channel away from high value areas.
|Electronically Controlled Sewers: Advanced sewers which can control the flow of rain water to stop increased discharge into rivers and therefore flooding.
|Advantages: Is probably the most effective because you remove high value property and humans from vulnerable areas.
Disadvantages: It is usually not practical to move whole settlements, because of the cost and the problems of finding alternative locations. Also many settlements depend on water for their survival.
|Advantages: They can store large amounts of water and can be used for other purposes.
Disadvantages: If rain is downstream of the dam then they have no effect. In large flood events they are vulnerable to breaking and are expensive to build.
|Advantages: They can move the main channel from vulnerable areas to protect high value areas.
Disadvantages: They are expensive to build and during big flood events the flood water may go over the wing dykes. Also if there is property on both sides of a river, which side do you protect.
|Advantages: They can be very effective at controlling smaller floods. They are underground so do not cause any visual pollution.
Disadvantages: This involves a complete redesign of sewers. Sewers usually have to be increased in size and electronic sluices have to be added. They also have to be operated from a central command centre and with all electronically operated equipment can break. Also they might not be able to cope with large scale floods, so water has to be released into rivers anyway.
|Channelisation: The concreting of beds and banks.
|Dredging: The removal of material from the bed of the river deepening it.
|River bank conservation: Protecting the banks and sides of the river to reduce erosion. This can be done through planting vegetation.
|River restoration: Returning a river to its natural state before it had been managed. This might involve removing channelisation.
|Advantages: Reduces friction and increases velocity of river, removing water from the channelised area quicker. Bank erosion is also reduced.
Disadvantages: It is expensive and is not natural so vegetation and animal life will find it harder to grow and live. Flooding maybe caused downstream of the channelised area.
|Advantages: Channel cross-section is increased so the river can hold greater discharge. It can look more natural because no structures are built.
Disadvantages: Deposition can mean that dredging needs to happen regularly.
|Advantages: It looks natural, promoted wildlife and is relatively cheap compared to hard-engineering.
Disadvantages: During large flash floods vegetation can be easily removed.
|Advantages: This looks natural, is attractive and can attract wildlife. Can allow the floodplain to become more fertile.
Disadvantages: Can't protect aganist big floods and may have to coincide with zoning.

Sluices: Gates that can be opened and closed to control the flow of water.
|Cost Benefit Analysis: Cost benefit analysis can be done on almost anything. However, in geographical terms, it is usually done to decide whether a location should be protected or not. The actual analysis can be very complicated, but put simply it compares the cost of protecting an area compared to the benefits that an ares creates.
If it would cost $1 million to protect an area, but it brings $2 million in revenue through jobs, taxes, etc. then the area is worth protecting.
However, if it would cost $2 million to protect an area, bit the area only brings $1 million in revenue, then it probably is not worth protecting the area.
River Conwy, North Wales - Floodplain Management
The River Conwy is located in North Wales. It has its source in Snowdonia and its mouth in the Irish Sea, east of the island of Anglessey. The river is only 27 miles long, but regularly floods causing problems to settlements and businesses in its floodplain. The river has a steep gradient and mainly sits on impermeable metamorphic slates. This means there is little infiltration and high rates of surface run-off. The peat soils lying on top of the slates become saturated very quickly. The weather near the source is very wet and received up to 4 metres of rainfall a year. During spring the river is also fed by snow melt. Deforestation and the fact that river is tidal 16km in land make it very prone to flash floods. The river suffers some form of flooding most years, but 2004 and 2005 were both bad. In 2005, 360mm rain fell in the first 3 days of February causing the river to flood. The flood damaged the railways, roads, farmland, parkland, houses and businesses. To try and reduce flooding, a number of management techniques have been used:

Valley's unemployment rate drops nearly 2 percent
The Mahoning Valley's unemployment rate tumbled nearly 2 percent in February compared to same month last year, according to newly released data from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
In the tri-county area, the unemployment rate in February was 9.3 percent, down from 11.1 percent in February 2011.
The Valley's civilian labor force — defined as those 16 and older who are working or looking for work, excluding the military, students, volunteer workers and those in institutions, retired or unable to work dropped from 265,000 last February to 261,000 last month.
The number of employed Valley residents rose by 1,200, from 235,700 to 236,900.
The number of unemployed dropped by 5,000, from 29,400 to 24,400.
The unemployment rate is still higher than the Ohio rate of 7.6 percent and the national rate of 8.3 percent.
Read the complete story in Wednesday's Vindicator and at Vindy.com.
I wonder what the population statistics are during this same period of time. Has the general population increased or decreased, and how has this population difference affected the overall employment numbers?
it could very well mean 2% of the valley work force moved from the area
This is a very macro statistic. I would like to see the breakdown from month to month over a 4 year period, taking into account the fluctuations of population across the valley. Don't tell me unemployment decreased 2% when it in fact has increased over the past few years - this is very misleading.
The recession started in 2007-2008. People have lost their jobs through 2010-2011. Unemployment benefits expire and then magically you're not counted as unemployed anymore.

Currently working on a websites that has a number of different search forms. The search's include:
- General site search - filters through posts and pages
- Course search - filters through all posts that are of the custom post type 'courses'.
As you can imagine, what information needs to be shown on the general site search results is different to that of the course search.
Is there any way to have perhaps a template that can be called for each type of search to ensure only the relevant information is shown?
All suggestions are appreciated.

The final preseason game against the Patriots is tonight. This is a final chance for bubble players to impress the coaching staff. With the Giants trimming their roster down from 75 to 53 on Friday, let's take a look at the defense and special teams, position-by-position, and who might stay or go.
I'll take my stab at who I think will make it and who's on the bubble. Some big individual performances and injuries tonight could always change things. Also, here's my look at the offensive side of the ball.
Tell us who you want to keep and cut below in the comments section.
In: DE Justin Tuck, DE Jason Pierre-Paul, DE Osi Umenyiora, DT Linval Joseph, DT Rocky Bernard, DT Marvin Austin. (DT Chris Canty is on PUP).
On the bubble: DE Adrian Tracy, DT Shaun Rogers, DT Marcus Thomas, DE Adewale Ojomo, DT Markus Kuhn, DE Matt Broha, DT Dwayne Hendricks, DE Craig Marshall.
My projection: There are going to be some really tough decisions to make on defense, starting with the defensive line unit. I think I went back and forth for an hour on this one. I'm keeping eight defensive linemen on my final roster (not including Canty, who is on the PUP), assuming Austin's back is good enough to return soon.
First, what to do at fourth defensive end? Tracy was heading toward being that guy until he suffered a hamstring injury that has sidelined him. Tracy says he will be ready for the season opener, but he won't play tonight. I have him as the fourth defensive end but could the Giants place him on IR and go with Ojomo?
Ojomo has impressed and what happens if he has another big performance tonight? Keeping five defensive ends will be difficult considering all the injuries at defensive tackle. I have Tracy edging Ojomo out.
At defensive tackle, we obviously don't know how bad Austin's back is. With Canty not eligible to return for at least the first six games, the Giants need healthy bodies. I still have Austin on the active roster, as opposed to IR, hoping he will return soon.
I'd love to keep Rogers and wait for him to come back from a blood clot but a "ray of hope" as Tom Coughlin put it for Rogers' chances of playing again this season is not enough for me to hold onto him simply because of the injuries and the need for healthy backups.
So, I'm keeping Thomas and stashing Kuhn on the practice squad hoping nobody picks him up. And if Rogers can play again this season, perhaps the Giants can re-sign him later.
I'd love to keep Ojomo but the injuries at defensive tackle worry me, forcing me to keep Thomas. If Austin's back flares up, Kuhn can come up if he's on the practice squad. Broha, Marshall and Hendricks have some promise but there aren't enough roster spots. Of course, tonight's performances could have an impact. We'll see.
In: OLB Mathias Kiwanuka, OLB Michael Boley, OLB Keith Rivers, OLB Jacquian Williams, MLB Mark Herzlich, MLB Chase Blackburn.
On the bubble: OLB Spencer Paysinger, OLB/MLB Greg Jones, MLB Jake Muasau.
My projections: I want to pull my hair out after going through defensive line and now linebacker. Jerry Reese and Coughlin have some hard decisions to make.
Ultimately, I'm keeping eight linebackers with special teams in mind. I am not sure if the Giants will do the same since they could keep seven with injuries at defensive tackle and cornerback to consider.
But I am going to keep Paysinger and Jones as the final two linebackers because of what they do on special teams. I put Paysinger in the "on the bubble" category but indications point to him making the final roster.
Jones might need a solid performance tonight but I think his special teams contributions –- he recovered a blocked punt last weekend –- and ability to play middle linebacker and outside linebacker should help. I think Muasau is a practice squad possibility.
Keep an eye, though, on the linebackers tonight.
Mark L. Baer/US PRESSWIRE
Antrel Rolle and Terrell ThomasIn: CB Corey Webster, CB Terrell Thomas, CB Prince Amukamara, CB Jayron Hosley, S Antrel Rolle, S Kenny Phillips, S Will Hill. (S Tyler Sash is on the suspended/reserve list for the first four games).
On the bubble: CB Michael Coe, CB Justin Tryon, CB Bruce Johnson, CB Dante Hughes, CB Laron Scott.
My projections: I'm keeping 10 defensive backs, including Thomas. The hope is that Thomas will return at some point this season. He can't be placed on the PUP because he practiced in camp. The Giants could place him on IR because who knows when his twice-repaired right ACL will be strong enough to play this season after he re-aggravated it in camp. But I'll be optimistic and keep him hoping he could be back sometime in the first half of the season.
With Amukamara nursing a high ankle sprain and potentially out for weeks, I'm keeping Coe, Tryon and Johnson. Hughes, though, has looked good at times and a strong showing tonight could make a difference. I may have put Coe in the bubble category but he appears to be the next man up at corner and will likely start in place of the injured Amukamara and Thomas.
If Hosley is healthy, he could and should gain more playing time as the season progresses. Between Rolle, Hosley and Hill, the Giants should have options to cover slot receivers until Thomas is ready. When Sash returns from suspension after the fourth game, the Giants will have to make a roster move.
Of course, there's always the possibility the Giants go out and sign a veteran after teams make their final cuts on Friday.
In: K Lawrence Tynes, P Steve Weatherford, LS Zak DeOssie.
On the bubble: None.
My projection: Finally, an easy unit to figure out.
David Wilson should be the kick returner and Hosley should be the punt returner after seeing the spark they can provide there.
So, what do you guys think?

They could comprise of information and facts like the occasion date and place, parents' names, occupation and residence. The cause of death is also listed in many New York death records.
New York vital records certainly are a foundation of New York genealogy and family history research because they were usually recorded at or close to the time of the occurrence, making the record more likely to be reliable. This web page contains links, details that will help you obtain copies from New York state and county vital records keepers. Vital records (births, deaths, marriages, and divorces) mark the key events of our lives and are the foundation of genealogy and family tree research.

Currently using 7M/512K ADSL by 3Web.
Recently, they offered me to upgrade my Internet with installation fee waived. With approx. same fee I'm paying now, I have two options:
FTTN: 15M/1M, $45.95+3.95 equipment rental, dry loop fee included.
Cable: 18M/512K, $47.95+4.95 equipment rental.
Both no cap.
I know cable shares band width with others, most likely, I don't get 18M as advertised. Should I expect FTTN is more close to what's paid for?

Cable is shared, but you definitely get the advertised speeds._______________

When you're driving, do you purposely drive into brick walls?
That is what you will experience with cable. It's an ancient relic of technology that needs to peacefully bury itself.
Go FTTN._______________

No, you're not entitled to your own opinion, you're only entitled to what you can argue for.
Otherwise, don't start.

cable is unpredictable and can saturate fast on congested nodes or during peak times.
if your in the GTA go FTTN. bell has a better core network then rogers right now here.
just read the many cable upgrades and updated from rogers and the various IISP's on
the board and see for yourself. or just ask the techs themselves.
also with FTTN if you qualify for it's service your speed is guaranteed.

Blah blah. Don't kid yourselves that Bell is any better than Rogers.
1. With FTTN, loop length and line conditions are still an issue.
2. With FFTN, the shared elements of the network are on the fibre. Depending on how much fibre is provisioned to a given group of users, congestion can happen.
FTTN is a short-term "stop gap" using old technology.

Rogers is also FTTN.
Bell is also VDSL2.
Pick your poison.

I still don't get why people don't understand that all internet is shared. Slow internet access is the fault of over-provisioning in an area, not inferior technology. All of the people that go cable TS and then TS oversells and has to stop sell, blame the technology when it is the provider who is at fault. A DSLAM is an access concentrator that aggregates all the customers on to a single connection and the upstream on cable does the same thing. The difference is FFTN is a garbage patch technology that poor providers install. In the US, Verizon has money while AT&T doesn't. Look and see which technology a company with deep pockets uses.
Bell's distance limited 25/10 is distance limited and provision limited. Cable is only provision limited and can exceed those speeds. Speedboost has shown me 236 megs down already and from what I understand 20 megs up will be coming soon. This generation cable modems will max out at high 200s. There are ones that use more channels and run in the 500 to 600 mbps. DOCSIS 3.1 is talking about Gigabit speeds. Phone companies with DSL and not a lot of money, have a tough time ahead of them with a distance limited, uncommon, 25/10 service.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked AudiDude for this post.

the distance thing is coming close to an end in the GTA as bell plans to have almost all of Toronto and most of the GTA covered with it by 2015.
majority of the population wont even be on anything higher then 7 - 10 mbps connections unless they are going IPTV.
VDSL is kicking the crap out of cable worldwide. it's cheaper to deploy and easier to implement with existing infrastructure.
and within VDSL1 right now speeds up to 100/100 easily. VDSL2 can go as high as 250/250. and with the 7330's which are soon to be upgraded vectoring and bonding will increase this as well.
bell has the money to deploy fiber whenever it wants so money is not an issue. but right now in the GTA the problems on rogers is more apparent then on bells side.

Last time I experienced cable, every day at 9pm my connection would literally slow down to the point where web pages were not even loading without time-out errors. 1am-2am, the speed would peak back up to advertised speeds.
Don't even get me started on how it was from a gamers perspective... . . Unless something fundamental in the technology has changed, which it hasn't, Cable will always be sub-standard compared to DSL.
Once I switched to DSL about 4 years ago, it has been smooth sailing.
Unfortunately I moved into a new place a couple of months ago, and now I've been forced to go on cable. Getting it installed this Saturday. FML. I'm neither impressed nor excited.
I'd much rather continue tethering LTE over cable. In a heartbeat. If it wasn't so damn expensive and the caps so awful._______________

"Devoti delivers a tantalizing read." - Eve Silver, National Bestselling Author
A vampire romance collection to satisfy all your vampire cravings: three contemporary short stories, one fantasy novella and a novel that features both a contemporary story line and an historical one.
Alone in a cursed canyon, even a vampire can look safe.
After a car crash that may have taken her friends lives, Rachel Daniels finds herself lost in a cursed canyon. Her only hope to escape the place and save her friends is the man she finds wandering through the night; except Cameron Renault is no ordinary man. He's a vampire and Rachel's nightmare may have just begun.
Nancy Bonnelly killed her friends. She was driving the car when it wrecked, and she talked them into driving through the cursed canyon. Now two of them are dead, another is missing, and Nancy is injured and near death herself.
She is all alone until Dorian Renault finds her, takes her to a cave and nurses her back to health.
But what kind of man has the power to bring the almost dead back to life?
A vampire.
And Dorian isn't any vampire. He's a vampire fighting a monster of his own, one that lives inside him. He'd given up hope of winning the battle and was ready to die, until he meets Nancy.
Now Dorian has hope: hope that with Nancy by his side he doesn't have to be a monster after all.
However, unknown to Dorian and Nancy, there are other monsters in the canyon. Monsters who know more about Nancy and her accident than Nancy herself.
Rachel Daniels made it out of the cursed canyon alive. But she was forced to leave behind the man... vampire... who saved her and the one friend she still has hope survived the car wreck that took two others.
Now, back in the real world, Rachel has a choice to make. Does she go back to life as she knew it, forgetting everything she thinks she learned in that canyon, or does she accept that the impossible is true – that vampires are real and she is in love with one?
Cameron Renault knows Rachel doesn't belong in his world and to keep her safe he's willing to walk away, but will the rogue werewolf pack that has taken over Crystal City let him?
One Soul to Share
Mermaid, Sarina Neri, is desperate to regain her sister's soul. And she knows who has it – the legendary sea hag, Melusine. But the hag wants something in exchange – a man who can survive life in her realm, deep under the sea.
After decades searching, Sarina has found such a man, vampire Nolan Moore.
Unfortunately, unknown to Sarina, Nolan wants the soul too, for himself.
Who will survive their high seas adventure? The mermaid, the vampire, or will love save them both?
Trust Me
Dhamphir Harry Bisson has been hunting the female vampire who turned his father for over a century. The vampire, who has been building her power by feeding off her own family, thinks her bloodline has run out, but Harry has found one last relative--Lindsey Dennis: beautiful, trusting and the perfect bait.
With no knowledge of vampires, Lindsey thinks Harry is her savior and the key to finding the family she has always dreamed of having.
Will Harry save her? Or will his thirst for revenge cause him to sacrifice the only woman he could ever love?

I have selected the HTML5 version, but keep having the Flash version displayed.
The soundcloud widget is therefore invisible on iOS devices.
Is it just me?
not just you - viewing source confirms this. You can take the wordpress code from soundcloud directly and it works but you loose some options.
I just installed it today and it works fine on iOS, in HTML5.
Could you post a link to the site where you have trouble?
Hello! Unfortunately I have the same problem - with Flash it works, but HTML fails.
Here's a test site: http://www.virtualnoelke.de/
KR Jay
I'm sorry, Easy Jay but I cannot find any place in your site where a Soundcloud player is. Could you specify the exact page where it is?
The page were I am having trouble is
Viewing the source or right-clicking you can see it is Flash - but I swear I put HTML5 in the settings...
Hello WPLubalee, yes, the player comes up directly among the header banner - it appears as a flash player. same situation like lutherbissett's post above.
Here's a screenshot with the player:
Thank you for taking care of it!
Hey Easy Jay, now I see... (I was on an iPad). Anyway, to be able to see what happens, you should configure the plugin to work on HTML5, then we'll see what happens with the source code.
In the screenshot, I show you how my configuratiln looks like. And I have no problem on iOS. Maybe there's a conflict with some other plugin or with the theme..
Anyway, have you tried what happens if you uninstall the Soundcloud plugin and add the HTML5 code by yourself? Does it work?
lutherblisset, I have taken a look to your site, also, and it dispays the Flash version, as you said. Try pasting the <iframe> code in a post, for example, see what happens.
I tried disabling all plugins, but the problem is still there.
I have tried as wplubalee suggest, to paste the iframe code provided by Soundcloud, and it works...
I have lost the possibility to customize the look, but at least the player is now visible on iOS.
And I can delete the Soundcloud plugin, since it is useless for me now... They say the less plugins the better right?
Yes, lutherblisset, the "cleaner" you are, the best :) there's no point in having the plugin if you don't use it. Anyway, manually (I mean when you go grab the code), you can customize everything on the player, except the background color, so it matches better..
lutherblisset, I just saw it on your website, and it looks good. If you want, you can put out the artwork, so the player will not be so big, and instead will appear the "play" icon. I think that way looks like the Flash one, more or less... :)
Hello WPLubalee, now I deactivated and reactivated the plugin, and finally I placed the iframe code, and it works. Strange... Thank you very much***
Finally, Madame LubaLee, I have one question: Is there an option for using the "buy..." parameters within html? Or are you planning to introduce this? Thanks and good nite from Europe***
Hey, Easy Jay, I'm very happy to hear that! It is strange, though but if it works, don't touch it ;)
Yes, I will heed your advice - definitely :)
I didn't know about the buy button, so I researched a little and I found that it is possible to configure it on the editor of the sound (or song) itself. Read this, and hope it helps: http://help.soundcloud.com/customer/portal/articles/266782-how-do-i-add-a-%22buy%22-button-to-my-tracks-
As for customisation, also in HTML5 you can change the "highlight" color, if you want, so it matches better any design.
Good morning from Europe, too. ;)
I tried ten times to enable HTML5 (instead of flash)...
I disable / re-enabled the plugin, it's always the same : the source code shows it stays on FLASH (even if it is set on HTML5 in the settings...).
Help !
Hi bejjj,
I ended up doing as luba lee suggests: I deleted the plugin and configured the code through the SoundCloud space... It's easy.
I'm having the same issue here. I don't quite understand some of the fixes posted here. It seems that people have abandoned the plugin and used the iframe code. Is it possible to simply enable html5 mode? I mean, I selected it and it only generates a flash player with no html5 capabilities on iOS.
I've used the embed code but I much prefer the layout of the plugin player.
Am I missing something here?

While six NASCAR Whelen All American Series events were run Saturday night at Riverhead Raceway the biggest race of the evening was the one waged against Mother Nature to beat the impending rain. It was a race the raceway won, and Tom Rogers Jr. of Riverhead was sure glad it did. Rogers triumphed in both a 35-lap NASCAR Modified feature as well as the annual Cromarty Cup 20 for the Figure Eights.
Rogers scored his 34th career NASCAR Modified win, moving him into sole possession of third place on the all-time Riverhead Raceway win list behind Charlie Jarzombek (63) and Jim Malone Sr. (50). (more…)
