Agreed: "Facebook" conflicts with other open graph systems, theme and plugin and produces duplicate og data.
Installed to test after reading the reports. If I may ofer my opinion, It's got a lot of potential (and has clearly taken a lot of work) - I'd use it if it could integrate better with existing og plugins, including social graph protocol - de-hook the duplicated features.
But it also needs more og meta customisation - og-image, og-contact and og-location fields etc.
I don't use post images for og Facebook shares - they are in a separtae public folder as any other images are in protected folders.
Authing with Facebook apps was easy - no problems there, and no problems instaling and activating
Looking forward to seeing how this plugin develops over time

Madagascar, 8 April 2013: Katy Perry sees strides in children's education, nutrition, sanitation and hygiene in Madagascar
By Eva Gilliam
ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar, 8 April 2013 - In a dimly lit room in the heart of a slum, American singer and songwriter Katy Perry listens to the young woman timidly explain her situation.
Child protection centre provides support
Ms. Perry spent hours at the UNICEF-supported Ilaiko Child Protection centre speaking with a group of women and their children, most of whom had experienced abuse, abandonment or neglect, and were struggling to make ends meet. The centre provides legal and social support, as well as training in basic skills, so that a young woman like Mariana can find work to support herself and her baby.
"What strikes me is how universal so many of these core problems are," said Ms. Perry. "Whether in Madagascar or in the USA, so many women experience the same thing. But here, clearly support can be hard to come by - that's why it is amazing that centres like this one are here to help."
UNICEF reports on singer and songwriter Katy Perry's recent trip to Madagascar to visit sites of UNICEF programmes. Produced by Eva Gilliam. Watch in RealPlayer
Playtime for Ms. Perry and the kids
Over her four-day visit to the tropical island country, Ms. Perry spoke with hundreds of Malagasy children, teachers, community health workers and government social workers at UNICEF programme sites about their challenges, needs and successes.
At the Sahavola preschool, in Analanjirofo on the east coast, more than 50 children from age 3 to 6 greeted the singer with a song.
The preschoolers are also encouraged to practice proper hygiene. To promote proper hygiene and sanitation, UNICEF has constructed latrines and sinks at the school.
"It's pretty encouraging to wash your hands when you know that, afterward, it's snack time," said Ms. Perry, with a wink.
"Back home, we often take our education for granted," explained Ms. Perry. "At least, I know I did, until I came here and saw just how much these children appreciate being able to come to school - because not all of the children here are able to.

A 17th-century silver cross taken by a US medic from a French church during World War I was returned by his granddaughter over the weekend, the town's mayor said on Monday.
Alfred Hayes, who served at a makeshift hospital at the church in Neuvilly-en-Argonne in eastern France, had taken the 30-centimetre (12-inch) cross with him when he left France in October 1918.
His granddaughter Patricia Carson came to France from Kansas and returned the cross on Sunday, the town's mayor Alain Jeannesson, said, adding that he was agreeably "surprised" by the gesture.
He said the cross was the sole object to have disappeared from the church during the war.

This will get some heads turning: after a drive on challenging Welsh roads, Autocar has written "In its poise and agility I'd even say the MG6 is superior" to the Ford Focus Zetec S. There are other compromises: the interior, the gearchange, the NVH, grunt at high revs. But the first bespoke Nanjing-created MG, the MG6, is a certified runner according to the UK mag.

Liverpool's Torres, Reina May Exercise Escape Clauses: Roundup
The following is a roundup of soccer stories from U.K. newspapers, with clickable links to the Web.
Escape From Liverpool
Fernando Torres and Pepe Reina will leave Liverpool in January by exercising escape clauses in their contracts, the Daily Mirror said.
The players made the arrangements with Anfield bosses in the summer when they decided to stay following the departure of manager Rafael Benitez, the Mirror said. They now want to leave because they feel a promised investment in the club was unfulfilled, the newspaper said.
New owner John Henry has also made it clear there will be no major spending during the January transfer window, the Mirror said.
Manchester City is keen on signing 50 million-pound ($79 million) Torres, with Manchester United and Arsenal interested in 20 million-pound rated Reina, the Mirror said.
Homeward Bound
Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez will fly home to Argentina today in an effort to be ready for the club's showdown with rival Manchester United on Nov. 10, the Daily Mail said.
Tevez suffered a dead leg against Arsenal four days ago and was expected to be available for this weekend's game at Wolves.
However, tests have revealed severe swelling and internal bleeding around his knee and thigh and he has been told he won't be able to play for about two weeks, the Mail said. Manager Roberto Mancini has allowed him to go home for a few days to visit family and rest before returning for intensive treatment, the newspaper said.
Eyeing Pep
Manchester United is lining up Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola as Alex Ferguson's successor, the Mirror said.
Stories in Spanish media suggested Ferguson recommended Guardiola because of his style of play, the Mirror said. Guardiola is believed to have a strained relationship with Barca's new president Sandro Rosell and his contract expires next summer, the newspaper said.
Keane to Juve?
Juventus will make a bid for Tottenham striker Robbie Keane during the January transfer period, the Sun said.
Keane, 30, has started just one Premier League game this season and wants to resurrect his career. He previously had a spell in Italy with Inter Milan in 2000.
Buy Big
Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has urged manager Harry Redknapp to buy "quality" players in January, the Daily Star said.
Redknapp has been praised for adding Rafael van der Vaart and William Gallas this season and Gomes would welcome more players of their caliber.
"I think we need players like that, quality," the Star quoted Gomes as saying. "We have quality players already, but you need players to make an impact on the team, like (Rafael) van der Vaart has."
Four-Club Battle
Steven Pienaar has sparked a four-team battle after stalling on a new contract with Everton, the Daily Star said.
Inter Milan, Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham are all interested in the 28-year-old, who is free to agree to a pre-contract with Italian and European champion Inter in January, the Star said.

The search-engine v0.5.7.1 plugin of course displays the title of each blog entry along with a summary of the content. If the index only contains one blog, it's redundant and annoying to see the blog name in every title. For example:
My trip by TravlerBlog
Fun in a new town by TravlerBlog
Packing tips by TravlerBlog
To eliminate the " by TravlerBlog" text (made up name for this example), I replaced line 1235 of search-engine.php with the following (line split for readability but this is all one line):

<a href="<?php echo $result->url; ?>">
<?php echo $search->search_do_excerpt(
str_replace(' by TravlerBlog', '',$result->title)
The 'str_replace()' part replaces the original full $result->title.
If there is a better way to do this, please post here. Thanks!

Hi all,
New to WP. xhtml/css dweeb. I think I'm starting to get it. I wonder if I can describe what I'm trying to do and perhaps some one can just let me know if I'm on the right path.
I'm trying to use wordpress to build web site for a customer. He'd like to have 8 sections, each with subsections. 2 sections will have frequent changes in content (articles), the rest will changing only occasionally. He know's nothing of HTML and doesn't want to so I'd like to use WP so that it all can be edited from the Admin panel. I guess in that way, I'm trying to use WP as a simple CMS with great end user editing.
Each section will have a side bar. The 'blogish' pages will have 'recent' posts. All sidebars will have relavant 'subsections' listed in the sidebar. Pretty much like any other ol site. Sections across the top, subsections on the side.
Right, so putting it together. I'm assuming I want each section to be a 'page'. Beyond that, I'm wrestling with the logic. I'm guessing I need two templates: One for the bloggish pages, one for the non bloggish pages. The main difference in these pages will be the formatting of the 'posts' and the content of the sidebar.
I'd like to put some sort of if/then logic in the sidebar.php. If this page is a blog template, include (this) in the sidebar. If it's not a blog template, include (thisotherthing) in the sidebar.
Am I considering this the right way? I've been living on the codex, reading about template tags and what not. I'd just, of course, like to set it up correctly from the get go. Any feed back/pointers/links would really be appreciated.

(86% cabernet sauvignon, 9% petit verdot and 5% cabernet franc): Bright red-ruby. Riper on the nose than the Napanook bottling, offering scents of redcurrant, espresso and bitter chocolate. Sweeter in the mouth as well, showing considerably more fat and attractive floral lift to its flavors of dark berries, herbs, pepper, licorice and spices. Fine-grained and concentrated but still a bit youthfully compact, in need of at least a few years of bottle aging to absorb some of its tannins.90+ Points
Smoke, dried herb, dried currant, tobacco leaf and crushed rock notes give this a strong, assertive personality that veers toward a roasted herb raciness on the finish. Drink now through 2021. 5,000 cases made.-JL

Vitamin a wrinkle treatment
Posted by Reviewer1471900 on Feb 27, 2011
Doesn't have a strong smell which is great. Moisturizes skin and most importantly doesn't cause any breakouts. Great product indeed and huge packaging.
Love this stuff
Posted by Reviewer2223069 on Jun 02, 2009
It's great for sensitive skin (no fragrance) and it does moisturize without being heavy or clogging pores. It's very light on and absorbs quickly. I love it. I do feel like after I put it on my skin tones down and I'm definitely seeing an improvement in my laugh lines. If you live in a hot/humid place and have combo/oily skin I highly recommend this.
Posted by Reviewer2136588 on Jul 27, 2010
Leaves sticky feeling on my skin, maybe bacause of the glyserin. The perfume is not strong and it is pretty nice, but I would prefer unscented version. a-vitamin really helps my acne skin, but this is not the best product for me. Bottle is really large and prize low.
No miracle worker
Posted by Reviewer3060686 on Mar 22, 2012
Reading the ingredient list I thought this might be really something because of the retinol listed as the second ingredient. I thought it would be a real retinol powerhouse, but that is not the case. I feel no slight (and normal) stinging upon application as I do with other retinol products like f. ex Life flo's retinol cream, and the moisturization is very light but still pleasant. As for results I can't really say I have noticed any change.
Posted by 5445907157273968259 on Jul 15, 2013
I have been using this on my shoulders, chest and back to help fight acne - is working brilliantly. Not quite moisturising enough for the face though.
Does what it says
Posted by 5620252560638758397 on Feb 14, 2015
Light-weight, absorbs quickly and doesn't feel sticky, provides enough moisture for my combination skin, evens out skin tone, skin looks fresher and glowing, din't break me out
Love this!
Posted by Monika77 on Jul 17, 2014
I love this product! I've been looking for a gel type moisturiser for a long time. I have a combi skin & staying in a humid tropical country, hence a tiny bit of oil based moisturiser.. pimples will start to pop. I've use this for around 3weeks, my skin clearer, it feels fresh & light. If I feels a little dry at some area during mid day, I can just add more of it. I love the fact that it is a quality product with a reasonable price. Thank you iherb :-)
Best Oil-free Moisturizer
Posted by Reviewer3121686 on May 16, 2014
Let me start by saying that I can tell if there is even the slightest amount of oil in a moisturizer, and so many that claim to be non-greasy, are just less greasy than a thicker cream. If you really want something without any grease whatsoever, you have to look for one without oil in the ingredients. This Derma E clear gel has zero oil, and is truly non-greasy. It does leave your face a tiny bit sticky for maybe 20 minutes, which I think is from the glycerin, but it is not a stickiness which prevents me from touching my face. It moisturizes as well as any oil-free moisturizer can, but if you have dry skin, you really are going to need an oil-based product. This gel though is fantastic for anyone with normal to oily skin in my opinion. What I do when my skin needs extra moisture is just add jojoba or olive oil to the gel, and it blends perfectly. I add a little if my skin is just a bit dry, and more if my skin is parched. Also, this gel has a reasonably strong floral-type fragrance when you first put it on for those who do not like fragrances, but it fades within a few minutes so I would still give it a try if I were you. Plus, the price for this is amazing if you are using it solely as a facial moisturizer.
Good product
Posted by Reviewer1366023 on Apr 01, 2010
As it is a gel it is never greasy. Use it under your favorite moisture lotion/cream. It adds a little more treatment without being greasy. It works well under the eyes. No oily residue.

Rotisserie Peach And Ginger Pork Roast
Total Time
Prep 6 hrs 30 mins
Cook 1 hr
A wonderful change for pork roast. If you don't have a rotisserie you can make it in your oven.
Ingredients Nutrition
Basic Pork Brine
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 4 cups hot water
- 3 lbs pork loin roast (brined for 4 - 6 hours)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons peeled and grated fresh ginger
- 1⁄2 cup chopped onion
- 2 cups peeled pitted and coarsely chopped ripe peaches
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
- DISSOLVE the salt and sugar in the water, then soak the pork in the brine for 4-6 hours; Remove from the brine, rinse well, dry thoroughly with paper towels and proceed with the recipe.
- BRUSH the roast with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and rub all over with the salt, pepper, garlic, and fresh ginger; Load the roast onto the spit rod assembly and roast until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees, about 20 minutes per pound.
- HEAT the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes; Add the peaches, lemon juice, ground ginger, and brown sugar and simmer until the mixture reduces and thickens, 15 to 20 minutes; Keep the sauce simmering while the pork is roasting.
- BASTE during the last 20 minutes of cooking time by stopping the rotisserie and brushing the peach sauce on the roast, continue to stop and baste every 5 minutes or so; When the roast is done remove it from the rotisserie and cover it loosely with aluminum foil and allow it to rest for 15 minutes; Carve the roast and serve with any remaining peach sauce on the side (after a vigorous boil).

Fantastic! Followed the recipe to a tee. I'm now eating this one with white rice and corn on the cob as I'm writing this review.
Can't find anything wrong with it although, I want to try apples next time. I think apples go better with pork, IMO.
Great recipe and I will try it again later this month. :-)
Holy YUM!!! This was dinner tonight and it was perfect. I didn't have peaches on hand so i used a jar of apricot preserves (16 oz i think) and added 2/3 cup chicken stock and 1 tsp dijon mustard to the sauce. Delish - thanx for sharing!
I made this yesterday for my fathers 70th Bday dinner. Everyone liked and said it was good. I gave it three stars for starters. I will have to make it again with a few adjustments. Here is what I did…. I started with a 6 lbs loin roast, which was two roast tied together. I doubled the brine recipe and soaked for 6 hours. After brining and adding the rub, I spited and set in rotisserie. There was no temp listed on the recipe so I proceeded cooking on medium. I followed the direction for the sauce and basted the best I could. Following the 20 per lbs, I set my timer for 100 mins. At that point it was already at 160 degrees. I basted for another 15 and let it rest. Since it was done early I had to keep it warm in the oven which probably helped dry it out. I would recommend chopping the peaches to about ¼� to 3/8�. Thanks again.

Vt., Me., tied for most liberal on convicts votingthe associated press | February 24,2014MONTPELIER Vermont and Maine are tied for being the least restrictive states in the country in terms of allowing those convicted of felonies to vote.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called earlier this month for the repeal of laws that bar millions of Americans from voting. According to the Pew Charitable Trusts Stateline news service Florida leads in that category with more than 10 percent of its voting-age population disenfranchised.
Vermont and Maine are at the opposite end of the list of states, with no residents barred from voting by virtue of a felony conviction.
Other New England states have some restrictions, with between 0 and 1 percent of their voting-age populations barred from voting due to felony convictions.MORE IN Vermont NewsPHILADELPHIA After standing at the podium to second the nomination of Sen.

My manager would like to have any emails he hasn't replied to or forwarded within 24 hours of receipt to turn yellow and then red if he hasn't dealt with them within 48 hours.
I've gone through the various rule scenarios and cannot find a field I can use for "Replied" or "Forwarded" ...
I've looked at flagging all incoming emails for action "Today" and that turns all untouched emails red if they go past Close of Business, but it also adds all of his emails to his task list - which made the top of his head explode, so I had to remove that rule.
Any suggestions? I'm at the limit of my limited expertise with Outlook Rules. I'm willing to look at coding something if someone has VERY specific code samples I can cut, paste and modify.

49ers 20, Cowboys 13: My Top 10 Observations
10. Jesse Holley fans - you know who you are - rejoice. Looks like he'll at least survive tomorrow's cut down to 75. The Cowboys are at 77 and have two rookies (Robert Brewster and Brandon Williams) headed off the active roster on to season-ending injured reserve. Expect the realilty-show winner to make a catch or two Friday in Minnesota when quarterback Rudy Carpenter and the scrubs finish the pre-season.
9. David Buehler's touchback was refreshing. The Cowboys had zero last year. The Carolina Panthers, for example, had 30. "Hidden yardage" my ol' pal Bill Parcells used to call it.
8. I think Nebraska free-agent linebacker Steve Octavien is going to make the team and actually make some positive plays.

7. JumboJerry wasn't a factor. Hope it's not one during the regular season. Still, I can't believe the biggest, bestest sports league on the planet got its collective big brain together and came up with a solution of "do-over." Wondering if heaved-high Hail Mary's fall under the same category?
6. Boggles the mind how center Corey Proctor and quarterback Jon Kitna can't execute a friggin' snap.
5. Anthony Spencer finally showed up.
4. By my estimation Tony Romo's been on the field about 80 plays in three pre-season games. To show for it: 1 pass over 25 yards, and that was a Felix Jones catch-'n-run on a screen. I've been worried about Dallas' lack of a vertical passing game and lack of depth sinced Day 1 in San Antonio. Still worried.
3. I also think Virginia free-agent receiver Kevin Ogletree is going to make the team and make some positive plays. Kinda reminds me of Kelvin Martin. At this point it's not a stretch to say Dallas' free-agent class is just as productive as its draft class.
2. I know Wade Phillips is trying to be tougher and all, but does yelling at Courtney Brown really send a message? Brown has had a horrible camp. No way he makes this team. Just thought it was a weird time for Phillips - who's usually strolling the sideline like a janitor looking for his mop bucket - to finally rip off his headset and chew some ass. If he really wants to be tougher, direct that reaction toward a fumbled snap or silly interception by his quarterback.
1. Was really bothered by Romo's "holy shit" interception. He felt pressure, thought he might be able to make a play, and just hurriedly threw the ball into double coverage. Without T.O. the offense's margin for error is smaller this season. Those types of turnovers will be killers. The good news is how he's securing the ball with two hands anytime he's moving around in the pocket. If his fumbles don't plummet from last year's eight I'll be surprised.

They were kinda enough to help me with a school project while I was working towards by BFA. They where very generous with there time and allow me to ask as many questions as I needed in order to finish my project for school. They gave me great feed back that allow me to learn and sharpen my skills as a designer. It is a wonderful organization filled with generous and loving people trying very hard to help those who need it the most.

English language is a hobby.
Rule 1. The language has rules. These might be obscure or not, but the language is inherently governed by rules. A linguist might study a foreign language based on deeper knowledge than a non-linguist. It is up to someone to embrace deeper rules of language. Rule 2. People often assume (not entirely correctly) that being "native" is equivalent to being proficient or expert in a language. Rule 3. Context is very important in analyzing a text fragment

By Dana Hedgpeth
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, March 9, 2011; 10:40 PM
An Arlington County man who had been charged with threatening on his Facebook page to put pipe bombs on Metro cars or in Georgetown at rush hour pleaded guilty Wednesday to making a threat against another person on the Internet, after the allegations against him were scaled back.
Awais Younis, 25, had pleaded not guilty to one count of making a threat via interstate communications. But federal agents searched his home and found nothing that would have allowed him to carry out that threat, lawyers said in court. Younis's attorney, Frank Salvato of Alexandria, said his client had "no intention of ever harming anyone."
"The court and the government acknowledged that this was an isolated heated exchange with no actual or intended harm to anyone," Salvato said.
Judge T.S. Ellis III ordered Younis to serve two years of supervised release and credited him for having served three months in jail. Younis was expected to be released Wednesday from federal custody.
"The time-served sentence and a short period of supervision are more than enough in this case, and my client is looking forward to resuming his normal life," Salvato said.
On Wednesday, Younis pleaded guilty to sending the messages, which were perceived as threatening, in December to another Facebook user. He was charged with one count of interstate communication of a threat.
In a previous court filing, prosecutors said federal agents became aware of Younis in November after a Facebook user in Louisiana tipped them off to discussions with Younis, who was using the name Sundullah "Sunny" Ghilzai online. The person who had exchanged messages online with Younis on Facebook again went to the FBI in December and described how agitated and angry Younis seemed in an online chat.
"You are sticking your nose where it doesn't belong into something bigger than you and I," Younis wrote. "that is the problem with Americans they cant leave well enough alone until something happends then they sit there wondering why we dropped the twin towers like a bad habit hahaha."

Last year the 5th Ward adopted a process dubbed participatory budgeting, in which residents voted on how to spend $1 million in aldermanic menu money.

Election 2010
Delaware's Mike Castle Won't Be Write-In Candidate
Rep. Mike Castle has decided against running as a write-in candidate for the U.S. Senate seat in Delaware.
And he departed the race without endorsing Republican nominee Christine O'Donnell, who defeated him to win the Republican nomination with strong Tea Party movement support.
In a statement released late Wednesday, Castle said:
"While I would have been honored to represent Delaware in the U.S. Senate, I do not believe that seeking office in this manner is in the best interest of all Delawareans. Therefore, it's time for Jane and me to begin thinking about the next chapter of our lives."
Castle, a Republican moderate, was favored by the party's establishment and for good reason.
A former governor, he was popular throughout the small state and was viewed as a candidate who could put the seat that was long held by Vice President Biden in the Republican column.
But the anti-incumbent political insurgency that seized on O'Donnell as a symbol, had more energy behind it than Castle's campaign, leading to a decisive win far bigger than many analysts had expected. It was the end of a four-decades long career.
The problem now for Republicans is that O'Donnell is significantly trailing Democrat Chris Coons, according to recent polling.
The same polling also shows Castle with a substantial lead over Coons. That might have caused another candidate to launch a write-in. Indeed, Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, defeated by Tea Party-backed Joe Miller in Alaska, has done just that in a bid to retain the seat she occupies.
A passage in a Wilmington News Journal article may hold a clue for Castle's decision.
Castle told reporters last week that he was "hurt and stunned" by his loss to O'Donnell, who was backed by the Tea Party Express.
He said then he probably would not run a write-in campaign, but that he was considering the option because of "a number of people who've asked that I do that."

The kinetics of oxidation of aqueous acidic ferrous sulphate by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans has been studied in a batch reactor. The contribution of cell wall envelopes to the oxidation rate has been shown to be negligible. A model which accounts for the oxidation of Fe2 +, death of bacteria due to Fe3 + poisoning, existence of an optimal pH and precipitation of Fe3 + has been proposed. The model is able to predict the concentration of Fe2 + and pH quite satisfactorily. The predictions of Fe3 + are not so accurate because of simplifying assumptions made about its precipitation.

Landscape Architects Release Green Roof Performance Report
Roof Retained 27,500 Gallons of Stormwater in First Year
Sep 19, 2007, 01:00 ET from American Society of Landscape Architects
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Society of Landscape Architects' (ASLA) green roof retained thousands of gallons of stormwater, reduced building energy costs by hundreds of dollars a month, and significantly lowered outdoor air temperature according to a report today from the association. The report examined various components of ASLA's green roof demonstration project, ranging from water and temperature monitoring to individual plant performance. "Because landscape architects are leading in the design of green roofs across the country, it was important for us to build a demonstration project and measure the impact green roofs have on their surrounding communities," said Nancy Somerville, Executive Vice President and CEO of ASLA. "The findings show that our green roof delivered significant economic and environmental benefits." In 2006, ASLA replaced the conventional roof on its downtown Washington, DC headquarters with a green roof, installing equipment to gather data on stormwater runoff, water quality, and temperature. From July 2006 to May 2007, ASLA's green roof prevented 27,500 gallons of stormwater -- nearly 75 percent of all precipitation on the roof -- from flowing into Washington, DC's overburdened sewer and stormwater system. Except during repeated heavy rains, the roof only created runoff during rainfalls that exceeded one inch. The water runoff itself contained fewer pollutants than typical water runoff. ASLA's green roof lowered air temperature by as much as 32 degrees in the summer when compared to a neighboring tarred roof, helping mitigate the urban heat island effect. "Collectively, green roofs can save billions of dollars in urban infrastructure costs, which is why more and more cities are encouraging them through tax and other incentives," Somerville continued. The roof also reduced the building's energy costs-especially in the winter. Engineering analysis showed that the green roof's extra insulation lowered energy usage in the winter by 10 percent with a potential of two to three percent in the summer. When designing the green roof, ASLA experimented with varying types of plants. The extreme nature of the rooftop environment allowed some to thrive while others struggled. On the extensive portion of the roof, hardy species of Sedum (Sedum album, Sedum reflexum, Sedum spurium, and Sedum sexangulare) performed well over other Sedum species (Sedum lanceolatum and Sedum stenopetalatum). Delosperma nubigenum (Ice Plant) did well in many areas but not well in the north terrace. On the intensive portion, Rhus copallina (Flame Sumac), Rhus aromatica (Smooth Sumac), Campsis radicans (Ttrumpet Vine), and Rosa Carolina (Pasture Rose) were successful while Ceonanthus americanus (New Jersey Tea) struggled. Detailed information can be found at http://www.asla.org/greenroof. The full briefing report and the comprehensive water monitoring report can be found at http://www.asla.org/greenroof. About ASLA Founded in 1899, ASLA is the national professional association for landscape architects, representing more than 17,600 members in 48 professional chapters and 68 student chapters. Landscape architecture is a comprehensive discipline of land analysis, planning, design, management, preservation, and rehabilitation. ASLA promotes the landscape architecture profession and advances the practice through advocacy, education, communication, and fellowship. Members of the Society use their "ASLA" suffix after their names to denote membership and their commitment to the highest ethical standards of the profession.

When I was younger I caught a scene in a movie or TV show where a man kissed a woman and after he'd kissed her, her face began to melt off. She had warned him that this would happen if he, or perhaps any man ever touched or kissed her or something like that. Could you tell me what show or movie this is please? I'm thinking it might be Rod Serling's Night Gallery, but I ain't sure.
About the only face melting woman movie that I can think of is The Terror, a 1963 movie with Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson.

Challenges to Democracy in the 21st Century
The National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) Democracy is a multi-disciplinary research program launched by the Swiss National Science Foundation in 2005. The program examines the key challenges to democracy today and traces them to two major trends: globalization and the growing influence of the media on politics.
The NCCR's basic research questions are: How are established democracies changing under the conditions of globalization and the mediatization of politics? And how can democracy be promoted horizontally (to non-democratic countries) and vertically (to supra-national regimes like the EU, the WTO, etc)? More

It's proving to be difficult to fill Kevin Bacon's famous dancing shoes.
After initially taking the signature role of Ren McCormack in the remake of Footloose, Chace Crawford has backed out, Entertainment Weekly reports. Zac Efron previously declined to take the role for fear of being typecast.
Crawford, 24, will apparently be too busy shooting Gossip Girl this summer to find time for the film shoot.
Paramount Pictures is now inclined to cast an unknown in the role, made famous by Bacon in the original 1984 film, EW says. The studio could even launch a nationwide search for the role.
Paramount is having lots of headaches with Footloose, having also lost a director and switched scripts.

AbstractCryogenically power electronics devices promise improved performance over conventional devices, and can be easily integrated with superconducting cables, motors, or generators. However, conventional packages do not work well at low temperatures, and often lead to device failure under cryogenic conditions. Providing cryogenically compatible packaging technologies would enable the use of cryogenic devices, especially IGBTs, in very high-power applications such as accelerator modulators, improving switching speeds and other performance characteristics. In phase I, MTECH Labs will design, fabricate, and test a bench-scale prototype cryogenic IGBT module operating at 6Kv AND 2Ka, AND IN Phase II, it will develop a number of commercial devices that could be utilized in various power conversion applications Commercial Applications and Other Benefits: Other commercial applications include future high-efficiency power distribution systems for buildings, power conversion equipment for wind turbines incorporating superconducting generators, utility-scale converters for use with superconducting transmission lines, and very power-dense motor drives for industrial uses. Public benefits include reduced energy consumption in utility-scale applications, as well as improved performance of accelerators, which seek to broaden the understanding of fundamental physical propertie

AbstractABSTRACT: Enterprise wide data exfiltration will be prevented by designing and implementing a method to protect files based on logical group membership. Anyone outside that group without the group key(s) will be unable to decrypt the data. Localized Encryption Groups (LEG) will provide an automated approach to ensure confidentiality and tracking of data files early in their creation, throughout processing and during transmission. It is intended that LEG will transparently exist within current information systems by coexisting and occasionally relying upon cryptographic and information sharing infrastructure. A design goal of LEG will be to be entirely implemented as software that is installed on host systems. LEG will function low in the operating system architecture to provide transparent functionality to high level applications. BENEFIT: Host or network based detection of data exfiltration is generally an ineffective, reactive approach and as such the LEG effort is built around a new and promising approach to proactively prevent data exfiltration. A design goal of LEG is to be entirely implemented as software installed on a host system. LEG will function low in the operating system architecture to provide transparent functionality to user space applications. The LEG effort will ensure the successful coexistence within the current and future enterprise information security infrastructure while maximally protecting data from unauthorized access.

The Beach, as Richard has come to learn, is the subject of a legend among young travelers in Asia: a lagoon hidden from the sea, with white sand and coral gardens, freshwater falls surrounded by jungle, plants untouched for a thousand years. There, it is rumored, a carefully selected international few have settled in a communal Eden.
Haunted by the figure of Mr. Duck — the name by which the Thai police have identified the dead man — and his own obsession with Vietnam movies, Richard sets off with a young French couple to an island hidden away in an archipelago forbidden to tourists. They discover the Beach, and it is as beautiful and idyllic as it is reputed to be. Yet over time it becomes clear that Beach culture, as Richard calls it, has troubling, even deadly, undercurrents.
Spellbinding and hallucinogenic, The Beach by Alex Garland — both a national bestseller and his debut – is a highly accomplished and suspenseful novel that fixates on a generation in their twenties, who, burdened with the legacy of the preceding generation and saturated by popular culture, long for an unruined landscape, but find it difficult to experience the world firsthand.
"What makes The Beach a truly awesome piece of work is Garland's understated, assured depiction of the perils of pop…Is The Beach a Gen X novel? I concede to the marketing people on this one and depart here, cowed." –The Village Voice
"You have in your hands one great book…The Beach will astonish readers.Garland manages to hook in the reader from the first page…The Beach builds to a crackling finale, complete with interesting moral questions.Not since reading Donna Tartt's The Secret History has this reader been so impressed and taken with a first novel."–USA Today
"Generation X has its first great novel…The Beach is an awesome first novel that works as an adventure story, an allegory and an explanation for why every human since Adam and Eve has an irresistible impulse to create a perfect world and destroy it. Garland's literary antecedents are Lord of the Flies and On the Road, with maybe a little Animal Farm thrown in for extra nastiness, and it is a testament to his achievement that The Beach can hang with those classics on a purely literary level and as a postmodern update of them…A wonderful adventure and allegory that may be the best novel written by anyone currently younger than 30." –Sunday Oregonian
"The novel's detailed account of their journey…is not only suspenseful but surprisingly plausible..Alex Garland…has a clear, engaging storytelling style and a vivid imagination. Deftly, he uses real-life travel details–smells, optical effects, quirks of language, social rituals–to keep the reader's disbelief at bay. For about two-thirds of the way, his novel is a genuine page turner, full of color and menace. . . . the final chapters are suitably nightmarish and exciting…The Beach is impressive in its group portrait of a new generation of young vagabonds. Raised in an era of diminished confidence, they have set out in search of something that feels genuine and fulfilling. What they find turns out to be not utopia but hell." –The New York Times Book Review
"Remarkable….astonishingly assured….The Beach is distinguished by Garland's bracingly transparent prose and tells a classic story of generational envy and displacement. Echoing Dog Soldier as much as Lord of the Flies, Garland discovers the hell lurking in heaven's tide pools while delivering as much karmic payback as anything since Treasure Island. Primitives vs. sophisticates, nature vs. culture, life vs. art–it's all here, in language whose gripping and deceptive simplicity masks something dreadful and true. Garland's timeless fluid sentences seem to seek the clarity that Hemingway sought, without descending into self-parody for an instant….The book concludes perfectly, with an image as confusingly beautiful as modern primitivism gets….Garland's deceptively transparent book would have been just as momentous and refreshing if it had been written 20 years ago. Take it for what it is: a luminous voyage into the dark side of humanity's increasingly tenuous dreams of paradise." –Salon
"This much-hyped first novel manages to transcend the P.R. BS. A riveting read about disaffected twenty-somethings searching for a real-life Eden as they backpack through the pop-culture wasteland of Asia." –Details
"Generation X meets Lord of the Flies in this ripping good adventure yarn…Garland shows a precociously sure hand in this taut, exotic thriller. For a young author, he knows too well the peril of finding paradise on earth…a skillful first novel about the demise of an earthly paradise." –People
"[G]ripping, intelligent and written with a discipline many young writers only grow into." –New York Newsday
"The Beach makes for a relevant and fascinating read….an excellent critique of the backpacker phenomenon–its nouveau colonialism and its tragically misdirected idealism." –Time Out
"Garland's provocative style–somewhere between Joseph Conrad, Bret Easton Ellis, and Stephen King–creates a modern-day Eden where Nintendo Game-boy, "Apocalypse Now," and a drug-trafficking Thai militia blend seamlessly into the landscape." –Vogue
"A mesmerizing first novel that manages to be many things at once: a smart look at a generation way beyond mere disillusionment, an anti-travelogue to the most exotic of locales, a study in small-group psychology, and a convincing profile in madness. All this, and the dynamics of a fast-paced thriller….Garland owes as much to Conrad and Golding as he does to Coppola, Stone, and Warner Brothers cartoons, and it's that wild mix that helps make for a riveting read." –Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Garland is a wonder; he's able to write unrelentingly suspenseful, downright hallucinatory action scenes, then balance them with passages of chillingly accurate psychology. His intensely imagined tale is, on one level, a brilliant update of The Lord o the Flies, and on another, a wholly original and unsettling depiction of psyches shaped by the bewildering messages of Loony Tunes, "Apocalypse Now," Nintendo, and the age-old cult of oblivion. The Beach has cult status scrawled all over it." –Booklist (starred review)
"This impressive debut by a 26-year-old British writer could well achieve the cult status of William Golding's nightmarish 1954 classic, Lord of the Flies, with which it shares a theme–the dark side of human nature that's exposed when the thin veneer of 'civilization' is rubbed off through an encounter with raw nature. . . . [T]he author masterfully manages to maintain the suspense as it begins to boil over. Highly recommended." –Library Journal
"This 26-year-old Londoner's atmospheric debut novel, The Beach, may foll

The chances of a bidding war for HomeAway (AWAY) are dwindling today.
Citing emails from Priceline (PCLN), MarketWatch reports that the online travel site has "no intention" and "no current plans" to fight Expedia (EXPE) for the vacation rental site.
Earlier this week, Expedia unveiled the $3.9 billion acquisition of HomeAway, marking the most recent effort by an online travel company to add offerings in the the face of rising competition.
Yesterday Deutsche Bank analyst Lloyd Walmsley suggested that Expedia's cash-and-stock offer, valued at $37.86 a share, was too low. And with HomeAway's stock price closing at $40.15, Wall Street seemed to agree.
Today, however, HomeAway fell 6.1% to $37.71.
As Marketwatch's Jeremy C. Owens reports:
However, without Priceline to bid the price higher, there may not be much competition after a rapid consolidation of the online-travel industry. Expedia recently acquired one of the other largest players in the sector, Orbitz Worldwide Inc., after also picking up another competitor, Travelocity. Priceline has acquired Kayak.com and Booking.com, among others.
One of the few stand-alone online-travel sites apart from Expedia and Priceline is TripAdvisor Inc. TRIP, -7.27% which was spun off from Expedia in 2011. That company issued a disappointing earnings report Thursday afternoon, and shares declined in late trading.
Deutsche Bank analysts did note that Airbnb could also enter the bidding, but said that was a less likely outcome.
Tripped up by last night's disappointing 3Q earnings report, TripAdvisor (TRIP) plunged more than 9% as investors headed for the exit, and analysts opined on uncertain prospects for 2016.
At a recent $75, the stock fell $8.08, or 9.7% during late morning market action.
As Cowen analyst Kevin Kopelman writes:
We are using a 30X P/E multiple for core Hotel and a 5X EV/S multiple for "Other" to drive our Sum of Price analysis, which we moved to drive off FY16 estimates (see below). We note significant uncertainty on FY16, however, given Instant Book has not yet rolled out with Priceline. Management has also disclosed little information about its financial plan given the company's new CFO Ernst Teunissen, formerly of Cimpress, does not join until next week.
Online travel has become a cut throat business, with Kayak and other portals that search multiple travel sites, and startups such as Airbnb. So TripAdvisor, Expedia (EXPE) and Priceline (PCLN) have set out to expand their offerings.
Earlier this week, Expedia announced the purchase of HomeAway (AWAY) for $3.9 billion, and recently completed the Orbitz acquisition. TripAdvisor and Priceline cut a deal last month to list Priceline's web sites on TripAdvisor's instant booking platform.
TripAdvisor, meanwhile, has stepped up advertising and loyalty programs. This, added to the rollout of Priceline's online content, could increase costs and pressure profit.
As Needham analysts Laura Martin and Dan Medina write:
TRIP's conference call focused primarily on the economic implications of TRIP's transition toward Instant Booking (IB), in light of its new Priceline deal. The IB business model moves TRIP's revenue streams away from clicks from traffic toward rev-share upon consumption. This shifts risk toward TRIP, and perhaps a higher return over time. We think it may create a revenue gap for TRIP in 2016 calculated as the average time between booking (click payment terms for Meta) and the actual hotel stay (consumption payment terms for IB) as the transition occurs.
TripAdvisor (TRIP) is traveling lower on the heels of disappointing third-quarter financial results unveiled after today's closing bell.
At a recent $78.36, the online travel company fell $4.75, or 5.7% during after-hours market action, after rising 0.6% during the regular trading day.
Revenue rose 17% to $415 million, yielding EPS of 53 cents. Consensus called for 55 cents in EPS on revenue of almost $429 million.
Last night, rival Expedia (EXPE) announced a $3.9 billion acquisition of HomeAway (AWAY), just a week after delivering better-than-expected 3Q financial results.
"We are focused on evolving our products to enable more users to not only plan and compare but also book on TripAdvisor," CEO Steve Kaufer said in a statement. "While still in the early days of this evolution, we continue to make tremendous strides toward our long-term growth objectives and are helping more and more travelers around the world book the best trip."

Public Proposals for the Future of the Housing Finance System
Testimony Before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs
SOURCE: AP/LM Otero
- Endnotes and citations are available in the PDF and Scribd versions.
- Download the report:
We are here today to discuss not just the future of the housing finance system but also the future of housing and economic opportunity for Americans. As technical as this debate can be, we encourage you not to lose sight of the ultimate impact of the housing finance system on households, communities, and the economy. Research and our lived experiences confirm the link between housing and economic opportunity in this country, from the importance of decent and affordable rental housing and the many benefits of homeownership to the central role of the housing economy on economic vitality.
You've asked whether there is a bipartisan way forward on housing finance reform. There is. The Bipartisan Policy Center's housing recommendations are based on a view shared across the political spectrum that homeownership is a desirable option when viable, and that those who do not buy a home ought to have access to affordable, quality rental housing. More specifically, this group agrees that the 30-year, fixed-rate product is the gold standard for a safe and sustainable mortgage market; that there is a critical need for a reformed multifamily finance system to meet the demand for affordable rental; and that the system must provide access to safe and affordable mortgages for all creditworthy borrowers, including those of low and moderate income.
At this point, the Bipartisan Policy Center's reform plan is 1 of 18 proposals—including several bipartisan ones—that call for some explicit government support for the segment of the market traditionally served by the government-sponsored enterprises, while only a few plans propose no government role beyond FHA.
In other words, while a couple of outlier proposals still call for withdrawal of all support, we see a very broad consensus emerging. It is time to move on from this question because ironically, until we do so, the government will continue to provide a 100 percent guarantee for the vast majority of mortgages.
It is time to set a clear direction for the future state of the mortgage secondary market—one that considers the interests of all stakeholders and does so in the context of broader, long-term considerations and priorities. This new mortgage finance system should be guided by five overarching principles:
- Liquidity: The system needs to provide a reliable supply of capital to ensure access to mortgage credit for both rental and homeownership options, every day and in every community, during all kinds of different economic conditions, through large and small lenders alike. The capital markets have come to play an essential role in mortgage finance, but as the past decade so stunningly demonstrated, capital markets on their own provide highly inconsistent mortgage liquidity, offering too much credit sometimes and no credit at other times. These extremes can have a devastating impact on the entire economy.
- Stability: Private mortgage lending is inherently procyclical. Stability for the market requires sources of countercyclical liquidity even during economic downturns. Stability also requires sustainable products and capital requirements that are applied equally across all mortgage financing channels for the long cycle of mortgage risk.
- Transparency: Underwriting and documentation standards must be clear and consistent across the board so consumers, investors, and regulators can accurately assess and price risk and regulators can hold institutions accountable for maintaining an appropriate level of capital.
- Access and affordability: The government guarantees, along with associated regulatory and consumer protections, confer significant benefits to households who can access it—and that should include all creditworthy borrowers. Left to its own devices, participants tend to "cream" the market, leaving perfectly creditworthy lower-wealth, lower-income, or minority segments underserved. With appropriate incentives and tools, these segments can be well-served, to the benefit of the entire system.
- Consumer protection: Along with regulators such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, any structure supporting the nation's housing market must share a commitment to ensuring that the system supports rather than undermines the financial health of the consumer.
The future secondary market for residential mortgages must preserve the standard affordable long-term fixed rate mortgage; ensure that a broad array of large and small lenders have access to secondary market finance to help ensure broadly available access to credit in all communities; provide access to reasonably priced financing for both homeownership and rental housing; protect taxpayers; and support economic recovery and the stability of the housing market.
