DALLAS (AP) - A fight between two pizza giants went to a federal court jury late Wednesday, with the fate of familiar advertising slogans hanging in the balance.
Pizza Hut, the industry leader, sued No. 4 Papa John's over the upstart's claim: "Better Ingredients, Better Pizza." Pizza Hut seeks $12.5 million in damages.
Pizza Hut's lawyers claimed during the three-week trial that the Papa John's slogan and advertising are false and damaged consumers' opinions of Pizza Hut.
A marketing survey done for Pizza Hut, a division of Louisville, Ky.-based Tricon Global Restaurants Inc., indicated about one-third of consumers who saw the Papa John's television ads formed a negative opinion of Pizza Hut. If Pizza Hut wins, Papa John's would have to drop its slogan, on which it has spent $300 million on commercials, signs and pizza boxes.
Papa John's lawyers argued the ad claims were true and they only touted pizza.
"We are talking about pizza here, folks. We're not talking about automobiles. We're not talking about drugs," said Martin McNamara, attorney for Papa John's.
Tom Morrison, Pizza Hut's lead attorney, countered, "Ask him to show you something that says false advertising doesn't apply to food companies."
Pizza Hut claims ads for Papa John's, also based in Louisville, falsely claimed the Papa John's product is better. In closing arguments to the jury, Morrison said Papa John's rigged taste tests that favored its pizza.
Morrison said the tests failed to compare Papa John's against Pizza Hut's signature pan pizza, which he said scored better in another taste test.
McNamara said Pizza Hut was angry about comparative advertising, but had used similar ads against other pizza makers. He ridiculed a Pizza Hut ad that compared another brand of pizza to a hockey puck.
Pizza Hut is the largest company in the $25 billion pizza industry, followed by Domino's, Little Caesar's and Papa John's.

Kate Moss has something to get off her chest... she can't stand boob jobs.
The supermodel says she was put off having fake breasts after a friend's operation went horribly wrong.
But the stunning star admits she may change her mind and go for implants when she gets old and wrinkly.
Kate said: "I think they are awful. So many of my friends have had them, and they've gone wrong.
"One moved up sort of near her shoulder. I'm not into them.
"I mean, if I got all saggy, like the sacks some women have after they have children, I'd have them done."
And she tells Interview magazine that she's managed to keep her skinny frame because of her bad diet - but admits she'd like to fatten up.
"Doing shows and flying economy nobody ever fed me. I'd be staying in hotels so cheap that by the time I'd get in, there wasn't any room service.
"I didn't eat for a long time but not on purpose. You'd be on shoots with bad food or get on a plane and the food would be so disgusting you couldn't eat it.
"I remember standing in the bath one day and there was a mirror in front of me and I was so thin and I hated it. I never liked being that skinny."
Kate, who has just returned from holiday with musician boyfriend Jamie Hince, 39, also stuck the knife into her ex-boyfriends.
When asked about her famous partners including Pete Doherty, magazine editor Jefferson Hack and actor Johnny Depp, Kate fumed: "They're c****! Absolute b*******. Men are not to be trusted."
But her daughter Lila has other ideas when it comes to fellas.
The feisty five-year-old has already decided she will marry three times.
Kate said: "Lila says she's going to get married three times. She's going to have three husbands and she knows exactly who they are."

As well as being in short supply, trucking's new recruits are also, shorter generally, and thinner, as well as less likely to want a truck to look and feel like a truck. The challenge for truck makers comes in designing truck cabs to fit an expanding body-size profile, while making the driving environment appealing to people who have different expectations about trucks – all without alienating the existing driver population.

$3.1 Million Gift for Science Labs at Pace
Pace University announces $3.1 million gift from trustee emeritus Alfred R. Goldstein for new Lower Manhattan science laboratories.
NEWS RELEASE: Pace University announces $3.1 million gift from Alfred R. Goldstein for new Lower Manhattan science labs
New York, NY January 13, 2014
Pace University announced today that trustee emeritus Alfred R. Goldstein made a $3.1 million gift for new science laboratory facilities at Pace's Lower Manhattan campus. The new labs—which include facilities for inorganic chemistry, crime reconstruction, biology space with a centrifuge and incubator, and more—will help students hone their skills for professional success. To celebrate his historic commitment to higher education, Pace has named the newly renovated laboratory space the Alfred R. Goldstein Laboratories.
"Al Goldstein's generous gift supports Pace's cutting-edge science programs and our goal of combining classroom and experiential learning experiences," said Pace President Stephen J. Friedman. "This gift is just the latest example of Mr. Goldstein's enormous generosity, which can be felt across an array of programs and initiatives at the University."
Pace's undergraduate science programs are constantly evolving with the momentous shift in science research brought about by modern breakthroughs in physical science that have served to level the walls between previously isolated disciplines. The rise of new disciplines—such as genomics, bioinformatics, and systems biology—is a signal of a new age in science.
Ten new, fully equipped, cutting-edge multipurpose laboratories will enable students and faculty members to break through barriers between academic disciplines, uniting the University's laboratory space in one core center. Construction of the first biology and chemistry labs began in the summer of 2013 and students are using the new space during the spring semester.
The new facility will include a 765 square foot general biology lab, fully stocked with digital monitors at the laboratory tables; a 2,000 square foot research lab; and a crime reconstruction lab for students to study the fields of forensics and pathology. Additional conference rooms and common areas will allow students and faculty members to discuss results and classwork together, confer on experimental findings, and share knowledge across academic disciplines.
In the fall of 2010, Pace also completed a major renovation of its science laboratories in Dyson Hall on the Westchester Campus.
"The renovations have revolutionized our laboratory classrooms," said Nancy Krucher, PhD, professor and associate chair of Biology and Health Sciences at Pace in Pleasantville. "All classrooms are now digital with computers, projectors, and even laboratory equipment being completely interactive.
"The implications of this change for teaching are great: professors can display the inside of a cell, microscopic bacteria, and all the other wonders of the biological world on the screen for all students to see, where they can save them as digital images to use in their own experiments. Naturally, this has facilitated wonderful collaboration between students and faculty."
About Dyson College of Arts and Sciences: Pace University's liberal arts college, Dyson College offers more than 50 programs, spanning the arts and humanities, natural sciences, social sciences, and pre-professional sciences (including pre-medicine and pre-law), as well as many courses that fulfill core curriculum requirements.

Recent Advances in Medicine Lead to Better Health for Children with Juvenile Arthritis
Embargo expired: 26-Oct-2013 4:30 PM EDT
Source Newsroom: American College of Rheumatology (ACR)
Newswise — SAN DIEGO – There has been a progressive decline in the levels of disease activity and disability among children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis over the past 25 years, according to research presented this week at the American College of Rheumatology Annual Meeting in San Diego. This research confirms the notion that recent advances in the management of the disease have led to a substantial improvement in health outcomes for children living with it.
There are several types of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, (commonly called JIA or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis) all involving chronic (long-term) joint inflammation. This inflammation begins before patients reach the age of 16, may involve one or many joints, and can cause other symptoms such as fevers, rash and/or eye inflammation. Systemic onset JIA is a subset of JIA that affects about 10 percent of children with arthritis. It begins with recurrent fevers that can be 103° F or higher, often accompanied by a pink rash that comes and goes. Systemic onset JIA may cause inflammation of the internal organs as well as the joints, though joint swelling may not appear until months or even years after the symptoms begin.
Over the last three decades there have been important advances in the management of JIA, which include the introduction of methotrexate as a potential early treatment, the widespread use of intra- articular corticosteroid injections, and — more recently — the availability of biologic response modifiers (commonly called biologics). Although this treatment progress has led to a marked improvement in the outlook of children with JIA, the impact of these newer treatments is still poorly documented.
Researchers from the University of Geneva in Geneva, Italy recently reviewed the medical records of 1,079 children who were treated for JIA between January 1987 and March 2012 to determine if there were any noticeable changes in disease activity and physical disability over this period of time.
Throughout the study period, physician – and parent/patient-centered outcomes were systematically assessed. The researchers leveraged this long term data collection to investigate how changes in treatment over that time period impacted these outcomes.
Measures of disease activity included the physician's and parent's global ratings, the parent's pain rating, and the count of joints with swelling, tenderness or pain.
Measures of disability included the number of joints with limited range of motion and a questionnaire that assessed the ability of the child to perform the physical functional activities and the activities of daily living (the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire, CHAQ before March 2007 and the Juvenile Arthritis Functionality Scale, JAFS after that date). To enable comparison of functional ability evaluations, both CHAQ and JAFS scores were converted to a 0-10 scale (0=best; 10=worst). Parent's global and pain ratings as well as functional ability assessment were not available for visits made prior to 1995 because prior to 1195, these assessments were made on scales not comparable
Dr. Ravelli's team reviewed medical records from 6,502 visits in four different time periods: 1) 1987 to 1996; 2) 1996-2000; 3) 2001-2005; and 4) 2006-2012. In all areas reviewed, the researchers noted marked improvements over each successive time period.
"The observation of a progressive decline in the levels of disease activity and physical disability in children with JIA means that pediatric rheumatologists may be more optimistic to children and their parents about disease prognosis and may also reassure them that the child is much less likely to develop damage to joints and impairment in physical function," explains Angelo Ravelli, MD; associate professor of pediatrics; Department of Neuroscience, Rehabilitation, Ophthalmology, Genetics, Maternal and Child Health, University of Genova; and lead investigator in the study. "The next step is to compare this data with that obtained in the next two to five years, when the impact of the newer biologic medications (namely Tocilizumab (Actemra®), canakinumab (Ilaris®) and rilonacept (Arcalyst®)) will be noted particularly in the care of systemic JIA, which is one of the most severe forms of JIA. In the perspective of an improvement of clinical research methodology, this study demonstrates the importance of regular quantitative assessment of disease state through the use of standardized clinical measures to document in a reliable manner the impact of emerging therapeutic strategies on disease prognosis."
The American College of Rheumatology is an international professional medical society that represents more than 9,000 rheumatologists and rheumatology health professionals around the world. Its mission is to advance rheumatology. The ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting is the premier meeting in rheumatology. For more information about the meeting, visit http://www.acrannualmeeting.org/ or join the conversation on Twitter by using the official hashtag: #ACR13.
Editor's Notes: Dr. Ravelli will present this study during the ACR Annual Meeting at the San Diego Convention Center from 9:00 – 11:00 AM in Exhibit Hall B2 C-D on Sunday, October 27.
Abstract Number: 296
Declines In Levels Of Disease Activity and Physical Disability In Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Seen In Standard Clinical Care Over The Last 25 Years
Alessandro Consolaro1, Stefano Lanni1, Francesca Minoia1, Sergio Davì1, Sara Dalprà1, Benedetta Schiappapietra1, Rossana Pignataro1, Cristina Ferrari1, Alberto Martini2 and Angelo Ravelli1, 1Istituto Giannina Gaslini, Genova, Italy, 2University of Genova, Genova, Italy
Background/Purpose: Over the last 3 decades there have been important advances in the management of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), which include the introduction of methotrexate and, later on, the tendency toward its earlier initiation, the widespread use of intra-articular corticosteroid injections, and, more recently, the availability of the biologic response modifiers. Although this therapeutic progress is likely to have led to a marked improvement in the outlook of children with JIA, the prognostic impact of the newer therapeutic modalities is still poorly documented.
The clinical information recorded during visits made in children with JIA from January 1987 to March 2012 was retrieved from the study center database. Visits were divided in the following time intervals: 1987-1995 (n=826), 1996-2000 (n=1,337), 2001-2005 (n=2,022), 2006-2012 (n=2,317). Measures of disease activity included the physician's and parent's global ratings (both made on a 0-10 cm visual analog scale, VAS), the parent's pain rating (made on a 0-10 cm VAS) and the count of joints with swelling, pain on motion/tenderness and active disease. Measures of disability included the count of joints with restricted motion and a physical function tool (the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire, CHAQ before March 2007 and the Juvenile Arthritis Functionality Scale, JAFS after that date). To enable comparability of functional ability evaluations, both CHAQ and JAFS scores were converted to a 0-10 scale (0=best; 10=worst). Parent's global and pain ratings as well as functional ability assessment were not available for visits made prior to 1995 because before this year these assessments were made on scales not comparable with those used afterwards.
A total of 6,502 visits made in 1,079 patients were identified. The mean (SD) values of disease activity and physical disability measures recorded in visits made at the various time intervals are presented in the table.
We observed a progressive decline in the levels of disease activity and physical disability over time among children with JIA seen from the mid of the 1980s to the 2010s. This finding confirms the notion that the recent advances in the management of JIA have led to a substantial improvement in disease outcome.

Given two distinct prime numbers $p$ and $q$, how can we prove that $\mathbb{Q} \left( \sqrt[n]{p}\right) \neq \mathbb{Q} \left( \sqrt[n]{q}\right)$ where $\sqrt[n]{p}$,$\sqrt[n]{q}\in \mathbb{R}$ and $n>1$.
This task really depends upon how much you know. It is easy to calculate the discriminants of these fields and see that they are different and so the fields must different, and even more obviously but equivalent, $p$ is the only prime that ramifies in the first and $q$ in the second. I suspect you haven't gotten there yet.
Here are some suggestions, as I don't have time to work it out.

Author has written 9 stories for True Blood, Breakfast Club, Little Miss Sunshine, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, X-Men: The Movie, Scrubs, and Harry Potter.
Hello everyone =D
I'm Lola, from england, so some of my stories set in America won't be completely correct.
I love to write, read and I adore True blood, one of the best programs ever! Though I also love Bones, Inbetweeners, Breakfast Club(if only teenage movies were like that now), Harry Potter is a classic and Little Miss sunshine is the best movie ever!
Also my hp one-shot has been getting quite a good reception, so if that continues I might consider writing a full story for it, if you would like that please review and request it, since the more people who want it, the more likely I am to write it since there's a lot of stories I have to finnish.
Also sorry about the spelling mistakes, my word isn't working properly and I don't have a spell checker right now.
Thank you for all the reviews, favouriting and alerts, there's nothing better then knowing people like your work.

African Violet Care | Grow Healthy African Violets
What should be done with a plant that has developed a thick stem below the bottom leaves? This is usually called a neck. It can be taken care of by setting the plant deeper into the soil when you repot. Use the proper size pot, not one that is too large or too deep. If the "neck" is too high, carefully remove some of the old soil from around the violet's roots, so it can be lowered further down into the pot. If the soil and roots are hard and compacted, and cannot be loosened, then a portion of the bottom of the root mass can be sliced off with a knife. Repot so that the lower layer of healthy green leaves rests on the soil line at the top of the pot.

Free Leafleting Pack and leaflets questions?
Over a year ago
Hello everyone 🙂 I was wondering if anyone on here can tell me the difference between the high school leafleting pack and the college leafleting pack? Does the college one include more leaflets? Or is it bigger?
I am a high school student so I offered the high school pack. It came with the following: one "we are not nuggets don't eat us" poster, 10 "Would you dissect her" leaflets, 5 student variety sticker sheets, one high school vegetarian/vegan/animal issues booklet, one dvd, one coupon/offer if you buy peta college vegan recipes, and one letter thanking me with a donation sheet.
I ask this because since I am going to be a senior this year I am visiting colleges during the and would like to distribute some leaflets. Also, if the weather works with us, we are having a block sale in my neighborhood and I would like to distribute some leaflets or make a poster or table or something. However, I just don't know what to order or should I email peta2 for some free stuff? If so what should I ask of them? I also don't know if there is like a list of leaflets I can choose from?
Please leave your comments and thank you 🙂

Franklin Street Bakery II now open
Let the scent of char-grilled burgers mingle with cupcakes: Frankin Street Bakery opened a second outpost near 44th and France in Edina, next to the Convention Grill.
Even with this spring's arrival of Sweet Retreat, ever since Patisserie Margo moved to Excelsior, Edina's been a little short on sweet-shop options. [[Stet: Margo is still there--thank you!--it just opened a second branch in Excelsior, but, still Edina is short on sweets.]] Fortunately, the new Franklin Street location offers a similar variety of wares as the original: breakfast pastries, cakes, tarts--and they're introducing tart frozen yogurt for a low-cal option.
When we stopped by, we noticed owner Wayne Kostroski--his year's James Beard Foundation Humanitarian of the Year honoree--was buzzing around making sure everything was in order. (No stranger to the Edina market, Kostroski used to own Tejas at 50th and France.) True enough, we found that a turtle cupcake and a chocolate-cherry mini-cheesecake more than passed muster. (Photos after the jump.)
3904 Sunnyside Rd., Edina, 952.929.2253 Mon.-Sat. 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Franklin Street comes to Sunnyside...
Turtle cupcake...
Chocolate-cherry cheesecake.

Opening up âJohn Carter: A Princess of Marsâ #1, I had no idea what I was getting into. A kinetic and incredibly fun Skottie Young cover, an intriguing title, and a (far too slight) familiarity with Edgar Rice Burroughs' work suggested it was something I should try out, though, and Iâm glad I did.
In this issue, our hero, John Carter, wakes up in a very strange place and has no idea how he got there. His last memory is of prospecting in Arizona and then being accosted by strange fumes in a cave. In short order, Carter realizes heâs on Mars. Because he seems to be able to jump to incredible heights and read his captors minds, he is kept as a prisoner, guarded by a giant âdogâ he calls Woola. He defeats some giant apes and, out of respect, the Martians agree to call him John Carter, instead of âmammal.â When some ships from the great Martian city of Helium crash land and a prisoner -- âThe Princessâ of the title -- emerges and is human, John finds his priorities and interests shifting, to say the least.
Roger Langridge captures a wonderful voice in this story, which could feel cliché and played out before it even begins without the humor and enthusiasm he injects into every page. Taking his cue from the title, which in itself is a bit funny, Langridge brings a humorous point of a view and a believably enjoyable voice to John Carter that anchors the story and makes it better than the sum of its parts. Not that thereâs anything wrong with a stranger in a strange land story, paired with Martians and a beautiful princess, but in science fiction and fantasy weâve seen it all in endless combinations, so it makes the execution key. And the execution here is funny, smart, and adventurous.
Itâs always a challenge to be the interiors artist for a book with a Skottie Young cover, but Filipe Andrade does not disappoint. Andradeâs art is wonderfully stylized and I found myself lingering over beautifully executed panels. The unique look of his work is a welcome palate cleanser to so much comic art that feels the same. Again, the art here is clever enough and different enough that it makes this spin on stories that might otherwise feel tired, feel fresh and new. The coloring by Sunny Gho fits Andradeâs art well and is beautiful, but does in places get painfully dark. The occasionally overly dark coloring when combined with Andradeâs freewheeling stylized work made some of the panels hard to understand, ultimately hampering the storytelling a bit.
All in all this is a strong and beautiful start to a compelling adventure tale, and Iâm excited to read the next chapter.

N.Z. Defense Force Denies Spying on Journalist in Afghanistan
New Zealand's Defence Force denied spying on a journalist while he was working for U.S. news organization McClatchy Co. in Afghanistan.
In an article in the Sunday Star-Times newspaper yesterday, reporter Nicky Hager alleged that the Defence Force helped U.S. spy agencies to monitor the phone calls of New Zealand journalist Jon Stephenson and his associates in Afghanistan last year. The Defence Force was unhappy at Stephenson's reporting of its handling of Afghan prisoners and was trying to find out who was giving him confidential information, the article said.
"I have asked the officers responsible for our operations in Afghanistan whether they have conducted monitoring of Mr. Stephenson as alleged by Mr. Hager and they have assured me that they have not," acting Defence Chief Major General Tim Keating said in a statement today. "This includes asking foreign organizations to do this on our behalf. We have identified no information at this time that supports Mr. Hager's claims."
New Zealand has 27 military personnel in Afghanistan supporting operations, according to the defense force website. The nation is a member of the so-called Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance that also includes the U.S., U.K., Australia and Canada, the Associated Press reported today.
Defense Minister Jonathan Coleman also issued a statement saying he has seen "no evidence to support these claims at this point."
"However, the Defence Force is carrying out extensive record checks to see if there is any evidence that this occurred," he said.

We are working on a web service that has to run a 3rd party process that interacts with a mapped network drive. So we have to map this drive programmatically from the web service.
I have already wrapped up WNetAddConnection2, etc. in a nicer class for another project, so I threw the code right in.
Our web service is running under UltiDev Cassini (instead of IIS) which runs under the System account. We get the error code for: "the specified device name is invalid" every time. I also tried impersonating other users in the web.config file, with the same results.
The drive will map just fine when I run my code from a console program under a normal user account.
I have also tried running the equivalent "net use" command from C# with the exact same results as WNetAddConnection.
Does anyone know why a windows service or System user wouldn't be able to map network drives?
Does anyone know a workaround? Simply mapping the drive on system startup would be a solution, but how could the system/impersonated user access it?
Link for UltiDev Cassini: UltiDev
SOLUTION: I set the UltiDev Cassini service to logon under Administrator and everything is working. The ASP .Net impersonation must not work as planned.

I'm pretty new to this mod_rewrite business but I'd like to have a rule that allows me to accomplish the following:
localhost/module_name/ -> localhost/index.php?module=module_name
localhost/module_name/module_action -> localhost/index.php?module=module_name&action=module_action
localhost/module_name/module_action/parm1 -> localhost/index.php?module=module_name&action=module_action&parm_1=parm1
localhost/module_name/module_action/parm1/parm2 -> localhost/index.php?module=module_name&action=module_action&parm_1=parm1&parm_2=parm2
and so on. I managed to get module_name and module_action to work, but I can't figure out how get it to work with only a module or with multiple parameters. This is what I currently have:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z]+) index.php?module=$1&action=$2
RewriteRule ([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z]+)/([a-zA-Z]+)$ index.php?module=$1&action=$2&parm=$3
The first rule seems to work but it breaks apart on the second one.
Any help would be really appreciated.

EA Delays The Sims 3
Company comments imply game will miss its planned February 20 date.
Edge Online reports that recent comments from EA imply that The Sims 3 may not make its release date. While originally planned for February 20, the date was suddenly switched to "TBA" on its official Web site, and various retailers have given it a vague window of the first half of this year. EA has now issued a statement that it is "evaluating the launch window." The statement also said, "the game looks great and in the near future we'll have more information."
It's impossible to tell exactly why the game is being pushed back, but with it already so close to complete it's hard to imagine the company delaying it for very long. We'll let you know when we hear a solid release date, and in the meantime check out our latest preview for more details.

They're probably delaying it til October. :)
Whatever the case, I hope they use the extra time to polish it up some more rather than just sit on it like they're doing with the new Harry Potter games (which I'm afraid will suck regardless of their release window--why haven't we seen a good one since Chamber of Secrets?).

State reviewing Milwaukee's request for more demolition funds
With hundreds of blighted homes on the "must-raze" list in Milwaukee, and hundreds more expected to join the list for years to come, city officials are looking for ways to pay for the demolitions.
When assistant attorneys general from several states, as well as banking regulators and federal agencies, reached a settlement with five large banks and mortgage servicers accused of mortgage abuses, Wisconsin received a $140 million share. That gave Milwaukee and other large cities in the state some hope the money would be used to ease the foreclosure crisis. »Read Full Blog Post(32)

How do I restore from a backup made with Better WP Security?
How do I restore from a backup made with Better WP Security?
Great question, I came looking for the answer.
Will it restore content in widgets.
Did you find out how to restore from a Better WP Security backup yet?
No not yet, if this backup/restore service works easily and well I will not need to subscribe to another backup plugin.
I don't see where there is a restore backup facility within BWPS. I would expect that one would have to retrieve the backup file (from email attachment or from /wp-content/plugins/better-wp-security/backups) and manually restore via phpMyAdmin (or similar).
Thank you for responding, I was also wondering before I invest the time and money in more software if they were thinking of adding a restore feature in the near future, possibly even as a premium feature. Do management ever respond to these posts?
Cheers, Happy St. Valentines Day
My experience is 'seldom'.
Yes, they seldom. I think the plugin author is too busy coding and fixing bugs. That's why we come here to help each others.
So anyone know?
I have the backup zip file. I cna't restore it
phpMyAdmin says
MySQL said: Documentation
#1046 - No database selected
I think I know your problem. That kind of error usually happens if you're trying to restore a database backup file without choosing a database.
The correct steps to restore a backup database using phpMyAdmin:
1. Login to your cPanel.
2. Click phpMyAdmin.
3. On the right panel, click the database you want to restore.
4. You may need to delete all records or tables before import.
5. On the menu (top) click Import.
6. Click choose to browse the file.
7. Click go to start the process.
8. Done.
The #1046 error will happen if you do not perform step no. 3.
Sometimes, you may need to delete existing records even tables, that why you need step no. 4.
Good luck.
OK that worked now, thanks.
My site is still dead tho, so I guess I didn't expect it was a DB fault.
My site is still dead tho, ...
Is there any error message?
My site is still dead tho, so I guess I didn't expect it was a DB fault.
I assume you've fixed this as the post is quite old, but to anyone else that has killed their site, this might be useful:
Did you change the database prefix using the Better WP Security plugin after creating the backup you are restoring?
If so:
Open the file called 'wp-config.php' which is located in the site root, and look for the bit called '$table_prefix ='. You need to change the prefix here to match the one from the backup, more than likely it will need to be changed to 'wp_' (the standard install prefix) and re-uploaded to the site.
Otherwise, your site is trying to find a database that isn't technically there anymore.
At the same time, delete the file in the root called .htaccess. This is an important file, you can get WordPress to restore it once your back in by going to Settings>Permalinks and hitting Save again.
Very useful! This forum need people like you, welcome to this forum. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
While changing the database prefix using the Better WP Security plugin things went wrong. I was redirected to the wordpress install.php page. I installed WP again.
I then restored my backup. But only my home page is loading. For all other pages I get a Not Found error.
In phpmyadmin I see that my tables have been duplicated. The original tables wp_ and the same tables with a new prefix created by the Better WP Security plugin.
I have changed the table_prefix in the wp_config file to the new prefix and deleted the .htaccess as described by LingoSam. But that didn't fix it.
How can I fix this? Do I have to delete the duplicated tables?
Thanks in advance!
Site is up again.
Changed Settings -> Permalinks from Post Name option to Default option. Then back to my custom settings. Uploaded htaccess.
Glad to hear your website is up again.
Yes, you should delete the duplicates. But remember, do backups before you delete.
wow! i am glad i found this! i have some question.
how do you find the prefix set by better wp security in the backup? my wp-config is set to wp_ but i need to key in the actual prefix from the backup to get it working right?
i deleted the .htaccess file and now i cant enter my wp-admin.. T_T
.htaccess file is a very important file. You should restore it.
i am confused... Didnt lingo sam say delete the .htaccess file?
Okay, I see.
You said you can't access your wp-admin. What was the error message? Have you tried yourwebsite.com/wp-login.php ? Normally you should login via wp-login.php not wp-admin directly.
Do you remember, did you change the database prefix? If no, everything should working correctly.

The "linen-like" fabric isn't very soft and at first I was a little disappointed but after a weekend roadtrip, they stood up like a charm. The thicker fabric didn't wrinkle up like a thinner, softer fabric would have. They fit really well and I like the location of the pockets. The waste band is super comfy. I'd recommend these for the price....can't go wrong if you're looking for some shorts to pair with a T or even a collared polo type shirt.
I love these pants! The weight of the material is great, seeing as I live in humid Texas. I wear these to work and the extra pockets come in handy. The material is a linen type, which breaths well in the hot summer. The only thing is is that they do run big in size, so I would suggest going one size down. The waistband is very stretchy and even with the drawstring, I need to wear a belt.
Finally....shorts that are stylish, and comfortable.
I can't say enough except that I need them in every color! I got more compliments than anything else I've worn in the last couple of years. Great waistband...great idea. Wish all shorts had it.
I'd have paid more than I did, they are that terrific.
They were great, except the fabric was rather harsh, I am hoping that some fabric softner will help, otherwise love them. I think they run a little small too
These are great, I am short and kind of chubby around the waist and it is so hard for me to find pants that fit me right. these fit great
Very comfortable and true to size. Great value.

Mapped drive will not disconnect
I have a computer running Windows 7 Enterprise with a network drive mapped to another commuter running Windows XP Professional. The C drive in the computer with XP went bad and the computer was replaced. However I cannot disconnect the mapped drive.
If I try to disconnect it using the context menu option in Windows Explorer it brings up a dialog box that says, "This network connection does not exist," and does not disconnect it. I have also tried to disconnect it from the command line:
C:\>net use Z: /delete The network connection could not be found. More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2250. C:\>net helpmsg 2250 The network connection could not be found. C:\>
This problem is very annoying. Please help.
In cmd windows, you can directly type command 'net use' to see the net connection.
If the Z: doesn't existed in the list, 'the network connection could not be found' is normal.
And you can directly define a new network location to Z:.

It still showed up in the list but would not let me disconnect it. However, it replaced it just fine. Thank you.

I was experiencing a similar problem on my computer. The root of the issue is that the drives where initially mapped when explorer.exe was started. As you said, after "disconnecting" them they still appeared in My Computer but not "net use". Restarting explorer.exe at this point removed the drives from My Computer.

I have a client running Windows 7 connected to SBS 2011 Essentials. Mapped drives to previous server persist as icons in Windows Explorer and can't be deleted even though I used net use to delete the drive letter mappings. I have been able to map new letters to the shared folders on the new server but can't get rid of the red X icons no matter what I try, including the suggestion to net use the same drive letter and then try and disconnect.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
- Proposed as answer by John C. Gallucci III Tuesday, April 14, 2015 7:33 PM
I tried all described above, but nothing worked. But somewhere I found that "Net Use /Persistent:yes" would set all current drives to persistent. I tried "Net Use /Persistent:no", booted and that one driveletter was gone at last. May be that will do the trick for you????

Microsoft: There are multiple bugs here, at least to the rest of the world. Please correct them anyway.
-> If 'net use' reports no drives, neither should Explorer.
-> A refresh in Explorer should remove the disconnected drives, if 'net use x: /delete' alone doesn't do it -- but it should.
-> The Explorer context menu 'Disconnect' should remove them also.
It seems by trial and error that the system has to be rebooted, logoff/on or Explorer killed in order to get the icon and drive from showing up on the computer list. This seems a bit illogical.
A small kill explorer batchfile will fix the issue without logoff/on or reboot like:@echo off
net use * /delete /y
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
Note: substitute your own net use [x]: /delete command for specific mapped drive letters

I have the same issue on Win 7. This drive is our home drive from AD.
The one factor I see is that all other drive mappings show as "Microsoft Windows Network" whereas this one mapping shows as NFS network. Perhaps this has something to do with it.
I can map the drive as letter Z and it works. It is mapped as drive P and will not allow me to access. System error 85.
Status Local Remote Network
OK J: \\t70nas301\home\jpanik Microsoft Windows Network
OK N: \\T01FAP01\ISDATA Microsoft Windows Network
P: \\t70nas301\home\JPANIK NFS Network
OK Q: \\T70NAS301\PUBLIC\PUBLIC Microsoft Windows Network
OK R: \\T70NAS401\SHARED\SHARED Microsoft Windows Network
OK S: \\T70NAS301\SHARED Microsoft Windows Network
OK Z: \\t70nas301\home\jpanik Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.
In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network the key for the drive does nto exist.
Exported one of the other keys for a drive mapping and edited the content to match that of my locked drive.
"ProviderName"="Microsoft Windows Network"
add this to a REG file and merge the data.
Once this is done, click the drive mapping and the error is that the drive is not available, you can now disconnect the mapping.

I have found that these "phantom" drive mappings can be removed by using a scheduled task:
for example open an elevated CMD prompt and type the following:
If you wish it to run at 13:00 (1:00 PM) and the drive letter to remove is "Z:"
Open explorer and you will see the drive letter is now removed.

The easiest way to fix this problem is to edit the regedit , it so simple.
open regedit
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Network
Now remove the letter you want in this case X, and restart the computer. issue is fixed.

There appear to be a multitude of people with the same issue and a multitude of solutions offered by others. I tried just about all of them but to no avail, including all the registry changes, net use commands, rebooting, restarting Explorer etc etc. In the end, the only solution that allowed me to actually disconnect my network drive and remove it from displaying in explorer was the following: remove the offending PC from the network Domain (ie. join a workgroup), login as a local administrator, then you can disconnect the offending drives. Then re-register the PC to your Domain as per normal and you will find that the offending drives are gone and you can re-establish your required network mappings.
This is a serious bug in Windows Explorer, and I'm very much surprised that Microsoft failed to address it for so long:
All workarounds posted here or else where basically work by killing Explorer, or worse still by rebooting Windows. This is ridiculous :-(
This bug has been in all versions of Windows since at least Windows XP. For example, here's a 2006 post that reports exactly the symptoms I'm having today with Windows 8: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/getting-rid-disconnected-network-drives-explorer-t2414089.html
As in that 2006 example, I'm regularly affected by the consequence, where Windows Explorer reports the OLD share name (the one that refused to go away after the drive became disconnected) even after the same drive letter is mapped on a DIFFERENT share. This is really a serious issue, as this can potentially lead to data loss, by misleading the user to copy or erase data on the wrong shares!!!
Mr Microsoft, how can we officially enter this bug in your bug tracking databases, and make sure that Windows Explorer gets fixed at last?
(That means fixing the three symptoms of the problem reported by chiptech above, plus the fourth I report here.)
(And please no more suggestions for workarounds. It's a fix preventing the issue from reoccuring that we need, not yet another time consuming method for repairing Explorer after it starts displaying false information.)
This was the one for us : running a scheduled task. Importantly I believe that this was because the network drive was created by the system account and ultimately regardless of enhanced permissions it would not delete as any other user.
By simply running the scheduled task as that same system user I was able to remove the mapped drive through a scheduled task.
s this just a bug in explorer, I wonder. This is why:
A user (win8.1) did not have, through an oversight, the rights to a certain share. So I made a mapping using different user-credentials, which at least provided the user with reading-rights. When the oversight had been corrected (the user now had read/write access to the share) I wanted to re-do the mapping. So i tried to delete it, but ran into the situation more-or-less as described here: in explorer, drive has red cross; in the registry, drive is not to be found; under 'net use', drive is not listed; in a cmd-window, drive does not exist. (By the way: if this is just an explorer issue, then how come the drive doesn't exist in a cmd-window?) Then I tried to just re-map the driveletter, this time using the user's own credentials, without first disconnecting. This SEEMED to work, but in fact, access was still read-only! Then - here it gets hairy - I tried mapping to that share using a different driveletter: the mapping was read-only! Suspecting that somehow first completely deleting the driveletter was essential, I tried most of the above tricks - to no avail.
What finally worked was, especially under my 20/20 hindsight vision, very simple: first re-mapping the offending driveletter to a different share, then to the right share again. Not only did the drive have write-access, but now I could delete the mapping in the normal way by just disconnecting in win explorer.
I used: "net use Z: /delete" and it did remove the drive. I even check HCU/Network and it was gone.
History: Drive returned on its' own. Ran "net use" and it did not report anything. Ran "net use Z: /delete" and it said deleted. Ran "net use" and it did not report anything. Check HCU > Network and drive is gone. Restarted MyComputer and the drive is still there.
I did a search of the entire registry for the drive's network name and it isn't there. Sure wish MS would take a few minutes off of Win10 and fix this problem with Win8.
Thanks Tony
I went to task manager>processes. Find Explorer.exe and end task. Next click applications tab, click NEW TASK type in Explorer.exe and click OK. you're done Drive was gone

The batchfile described above didn't work on itself, but i implented one important command to it
This will delete those "ghost"-netdrives. Create .cmd -file and paste text belowe to it, and run as an admin.
Net Use /Persistent:no
net use * /delete /y
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
Proposed as answer by TonyVov Saturday, July 27, 2013 1:52 AM
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
net use * /delete /y
You nailed it. That was driving me crazy. I tried everything else in this thread. ONLY this worked and I needed to do all of the steps.
- Edited by IT Architect Friday, January 02, 2015 2:10 PM
I support Henge's believe that the mapped drive was created by the SYSTEM account and can thus only be removed using the SYSTEM account.
Instead of DOS Vader's scheduled Task, I however used SysInternals PSExec to Run a command as SYSTEM.psexec -s -i cmd
net use Z: /delete /y

@ Ten Cents, This worked for me perfectly on a Windows Server 2012 R2. Earlier, I had tried all the solutions that were posted here in this forum and out there on the web but running psexec as a System process and deleting the mapped drive was a no problem at all. Thanks!!
To remove the incorrectly labeled mapped drive, follow these steps:
- Click Start, point to Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
- In Registry Editor, locate the following registry subkey:
- Right-click the mapped drive that you want to remove. For example, right-click ##<var class="sbody-var" style="box-sizing:border-box;">Server_Name</var>#<var class="sbody-var" style="box-sizing:border-box;">Share_Name</var>, and then click Delete.
- Restart PC :-)
I had 2 drives showing as disconnected with red crosses. I was unable to unmap in most of the ways suggested above. I was getting system error 85 or not found.
The worrying thing was that when opened they still linked to a server share (the wrong one) and the user had R/W access to the root of the server's data drive, even though they were not an admin! I couldn't find any cached credentials. I assumed some kind of rogue software had done this.
Using the task scheduler with SYSTEM rights, I managed to get rid of one of them.
The 2nd one could only be got rid of through deleting the MountPoints2 registry key as described here.
Thanks a lot.

I had this problem, all of the above did not work, turned out to be an application called CloudBerry Drive, it is used for Azure, Amazon etc. You need to unmount it from the app that created it, it is not managed by Windows 7,8, 8.1, 10 and so forth. IF not this, then something above should work. BTW, CloudBerry is a solid app, it was my mistake trying to manage it within Windows OS. There are many Network Drive app for local LAN's, Data Centre and Internet solutions, the question for yourself is; did I create it with Windows??, if YES and none of the above works, you probably have corruption, sorry to tell you that but some suggestions below. If NO, then go back to the app.
The other thing to consider is that the network location cannot be reached, windows appears to hang when you click it or very slow to start File Explorer due to your Quick Access setting having Recent places monitored, look at; firewall, share deleted, NIC problem, IP Address changed via DHCP (changed or cannot be reached), default IP Addr instead of correct IP address (starts 169.254...), permissions have changed on the share/network drive location, PC not joined to the correct domain or none at all, a workgroup for the share has been created and you are not part of it.
The Network Drive table is stored in; HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices use regedit if you are confident. In the Command Prompt (CMD) the net use command returns error 2 or 86 when you try to delete it if it is managed by another application outside of windows. If you created it with an app but have since uninstalled it then regedit is probably your only option: caution regedit can kill a machine, if you are not confident, take a backup before you start, if you fail and kill the machine then refresh windows is your only option if you didn't backup first.

5.0 out of 5 stars
CNN's resident pragmatist, button-pusher, and patriot
Robert Morris
on April 2, 2009
Format: Hardcover
Dislaimer: On average, I discuss politics with dozens of people each week and those among them who have observed Jack Cafferty's work for CNN's "Situation Room" program tend to fall within one of four groups: conservatives who thought him a liberal during the Bush 43 administration and now think he is "coming around" to their views; liberals who once praised him and now think he has "betrayed" his liberal principles; those with or without a party affiliation who think he is a curmudgeon (a somewhat younger version of Andy Rooney), if not demented; and finally, those who share my own opinion that, if he is simultaneously so popular and unpopular, he must be doing something right -- and has been doing something right for most of his 40-year career thus far.
What follows is an It's Getting ugly Out There, his previously published book. The comments are shared for reasons to be explained later.
"I'm the product of a very dysfunctional, sometimes violent, Irish background...my backstory...may help you to make sense of the way I see and interpret what's going on around me. People don't wind up with this kind of jaundiced, offbeat take on things without going through some interesting stuff...But I'm no victim - far from it. I'm fortunate. I learned self-reliance and how to survive. When you get old enough to understand the role that money takes in your life - and in your dreams - and you remember how you watched it all thrown away, it can eat at you for a long time. But it can also teach you some lessons that will shape how you make decisions in your life for your own family. It did that for me...I get paid to ask questions I don't know the answers to and complain about things that bother me... I wasn't [and am not] on the air to pull punches...I've always viewed my career in pragmatic terms - as a paycheck, not a pulpit... As a commentator on The Situation Room, I get to push about two million people's buttons three times every afternoon...I `m under no pressure to be `fair and balanced.' But then neither is the F-word network when you think about it, are they? God, they hate me when I call them that! I couldn't care less about political spin. My guidance comes from my own BS detector...I like to get under people's skin as a way of salting the mines for the e-mail gold I read on the air...[from] some of the brightest, most engaged electronic pen pals in the world...Viewers who connect with me - whatever their positions [and views] - are a major part of whatever success I've enjoyed at CNN, and a bunch of their finest, funniest e-mails are included here. The news can be a very depressing place. Maybe that's why I have developed a tendency to look at stories with a slightly twisted and jaundiced sense of humor... I react viscerally when the headlines get my blood boiling...I attack the status quo because it's flawed and dangerous...Are there solutions to turn around this crisis and fix it? Absolutely."
I share this excerpt concept because many people who are thinking about reading this book know little (if anything) about Jack Cafferty's background and, more specifically, what he sees his role to be when discussing whatever agenda of subjects he does each day on CNN. It is important to keep in mind that the "Cafferty File" blog sometimes attracts millions of hits in one day and just as many e-mail replies. (Yes, that's true: one day.) In this volume, he examines the issues, turning points, and personalities that shaped the 2008 presidential election and Obama's victory. He also examines" the astonishing two-year economic slide toward the unprecedented $700 billion bailout plan signed by Bush a month before Election Day; the treacherous new phases of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan; and the rival characters and strategies of the Obama-Biden and McCain-Palin tickets that made the '08 campaign such an extraordinary moment in our history." And it should be added that, "ugly" as Cafferty thought the situation had become when he wrote the previous book, "I underestimated how bad things would get."
There is plenty of blame to go around for the problems persist if not worsen, not only in the U.S. but also throughout the world. When discussing what Cafferty calls "our last best hope," he means this: "Change comes about in a democracy only when millions of ordinary citizens get riled up enough to be mad as hell about the status quo that's crushing them and leaving the country teetering on the edge of economic collapse." Previously too many people "abdicated the role of a vigilant citizenry, surrendering the country to the people whose self-serving agendas and more active and vested interests in working the system screw us year in and year." It is time for them and their fellow citizens to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. Abraham Lincoln articulated Cafferty's fervent hope best at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on November 19, 1863: "It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us... [that together we make certain] that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Whether or not one agrees with Cafferty's opinions, there is no doubt whatsoever abut how much he loves the United States and how deeply concerned he is about doing everything he can to help "save" the American dream, a recurrent subject of comment by him as well as by those who communicate with him. "The term 'American Dream' was born during the Depression," Cafferty once noted on the air. "Economists now refer to the period between 1945 to 1973 as the `Golden Age' when both the rich and the poor and the poor prospered. Not anymore. These days it's almost always been the rich who benefit from economic growth. One expert says the top 1 percent of American families - those earning more than $382,000 - benefited from about three-quarters of the nation's overall growth from 2002 to 2006. This suggests that the other 99 percent of the country may no longer be able to count on the idea of better times ahead. And if that's the case, we are in big, big trouble." (Page 189) Few would deny that today (April 2, 2009) as I compose this review. Worse yet, it seems likely that the economic situation for most people will become even worse than it becomes better.
As noted earlier, Cafferty's purpose in this book is to share his thoughts about the 2008 presidential campaign and the major developments that occurred between the election and inauguration of Barak Obama. Throughout the narrative, he also shares personal experiences that help to illustrate some of his values, insights, articles of faith, and concerns. Here is a representative selection of brief comments that suggest the thrust and flavor of his thinking:
"McCain's persona is like two people living inside one suit: one of them is a charming, funny guy with a great and easygoing personality; the other is a nasty, hot-headed, short-fuse guy who will verbally cut you in half in a heartbeat of you rub him the wrong way." (Page 21)
"That's one curious part of our character. We go along, a fairly peaceful, fairly tolerant people who are reasonably easy to get along with. We put up with a lot of crap. But there comes a point when Americans say, `That's it, you're done. Crew you. You are not going to do this to us anymore.' The history of America is a lot like that. I sure hope the immediate future of America is like that as well." (Page 115)
"Kids are relieved and secure knowing that someone who cares is looking out for what's best for them. My tough love caused my younger kids to sweat things and wonder. [begin italics] How am I ever going to explain this to my dad? [end italics] I'll take that, if it produces the kind of young women they've become. Whether they behaved as they did out of love, fear, intimidation or simply not wanting to disappoint me, the ends justified the means for me." (Page 182)
Born in Chicago in 1942, Cafferty became an alcoholic while a teenager and that created serious problems for several decades. "For years, the most complex and stressful situation Carol Cafferty had to cope with was my drinking problem" and it was "also keeping me down in my career." Fearing that he would lose his beloved wife (whom he referred to as "my life"), he went "cold turkey" in January of 1989. She suddenly died last September of unknown causes. They had been married for 35 years. Cafferty has four adult daughters - Julie, Jill, Leslie, and Leigh -with whom he remains close. In the Epilogue to this book, on one of the very few occasions when has publicly referred to his tragic loss: "If it were not for the strength and support of my four daughters, you wouldn't be reading his. But you are, and I'm glad. To the many thousands of viewers who sent beautiful condolences, I say thanks for taking an interest in a cranky old man who desperately hopes that country that has been so good to him for forty-six years can do some much-needed healing of its own and find its way back as well."
It is not important to agree with all of Jack Cafferty's opinions (or with all of anyone else's, for that matter) but it seems imperative that we become once again a "vigilant citizenry" and steadfastly oppose those forces that threaten to deny or compromise the bedrock values of "The American Dream." If not now, when?
