Obama, GOP Seek Accord
Progress Made on Jobs Measure, but Many Divisions Remain
President Barack Obama and leading lawmakers from both parties met at the White House Tuesday to showcase potential areas of cooperation, especially on an initiative to spur hiring, but the gathering also highlighted divisions that have stalled much of the president's domestic agenda.
Mr. Obama reiterated his hopes for bipartisan compromise during a surprise appearance later in the White House briefing room, his first news conference since the summer.
One of Mr. Obama's top priorities is a bill aimed at boosting jobs. In the meeting with top congressional Democrats and Republicans, the president pitched ideas for boosting small-business hiring, including tax breaks. "We should be able to come together and help business create more jobs," the president told reporters.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) said the package currently being negotiated might win a rare bipartisan Senate vote. "We're certainly open to it," he said. "I think there's a chance the Senate could get there with a small package."
But the session and Mr. Obama's press conference also showed how the parties remain sharply divided.
At one point, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R., Ohio) argued that Congress's rewriting of health care, energy and tax policy is creating uncertainty for business and stalling job creation, according to aides from both parties.
Mr. Obama suggested that Republicans would like to just kill those initiatives, but Mr. Boehner replied that this wasn't the case, aides said. Rather, he said, the business community just wants some certainty about how to move forward. The president agreed, and both men said they were interested in working together to get it done, though serious differences remain on all three of those issues.
Tuesday's session was part of Mr. Obama's effort to reach out to Republicans in hopes of reclaiming his image as somebody who can change Washington, and of putting some of the burden for solving problems on the GOP.
On health care, Mr. McConnell said after the meeting the president should start from scratch. Mr. Obama repeated he was open to new approaches as long as they achieve his goals, and argued that many Republican ideas are already in the pending bills.
The president said he would consider new limits on medical-malpractice lawsuits, something he has opened the door to before. But he immediately suggested this policy would have only a minimal impact on the rising cost of care and would have to be coupled with other changes.
Still, Mr. Obama said he hoped that a bipartisan health summit set for Feb. 25 would be a serious conversation on the issue. "My hope is this doesn't end up being political theater," he said.
Mr. Obama also said he was frustrated with Republicans blocking action to confirm dozens of presidential appointees, and said he would consider several "recess appointments," a move in which a president installs nominees when the Senate is out of session.
During his news conference, the president spoke at length about the concept of bipartisanship, insisting that Democrats, who hold huge majorities in both the House and Senate, have to win concessions as well as make them. Mr. Obama noted, for instance, that Mr. McConnell had praised his support for nuclear power, clean coal and offshore oil drilling in his State of the Union address.
"Of course, he likes that. That's part of the Republican agenda for energy, which I accept," Mr. Obama said. "And I'm willing to move off some of the preferences of my party, in order to meet them halfway. But there's got to be some give from their side as well."
On another issue, Mr. Obama asked Republicans to cooperate with what the White House hoped would be a bipartisan commission to address the federal budget deficit. Mr. Boehner said after the meeting he was considering whether to support the idea, amid GOP concerns the panel would provide cover for Democrats to raise taxes.
In the Senate, lawmakers moved closer to a jobs package. The core elements of the $80 billion bill have been settled, with provisions designed to spur investment and hiring by small businesses all but sure to be included, along with a renewal of soon-to-expire programs aiding the jobless. Behind the scenes, a struggle was still unfolding among Republican and Democratic senators over the details.
Among other things, Republicans wanted assurances the Senate would move soon to take up legislation overhauling the estate tax, Senate aides said. And Democrats were pushing to add billions to the highway trust fund, a move riling GOP deficit hawks.
With those issues still to be ironed out, and the second snowstorm hitting the capital inside a week, it wasn't clear if any votes would come on the issue this week.
Amid the snow, which shuttered the federal government Tuesday for a second day in a row, Mr. Obama found some humor. After saying his meeting had gone well, he added, "In fact I understand that McConnell and Reid are out doing snow angels on the South Lawn together."
If so, it was out of reporters' view.

I'm having several issues with the Events Calendar widget.
1) The large calendar doesn't update events on my site, although the calendar on my admin panel shows as updated.
2) I placed a small calendar in my sidebar. No dates of events are highlighted. However, whenever I scroll over a date with an event, information about the event pops up and says to click on the date for more information. Clicking on the date does nothing.
3) Is there a way to offer recurring events? I can't do that now.

About Walgreens
Walgreens started out as a small family owned corner pharmacy on the South Side of Chicago in 1901.Charles R. Walgreen Sr. mixed and marketed his own brand of drugs at the pharmacy to ensure quality and low prices for his customers. By 1919, Walgreens had expanded to include a chain of 20 stores. During Prohibition when many merchants were losing money on the alcohol band, Walgreens was having great financial success because prescription whiskey was still legal – and they were the only stores that carried it.
By 1930, Walgreens boasted nearly 400 stores across four states and annual sales of over $4 million. Over the years, the Walgreens empire continued to grow as the company changed hands within the family many times. By the 1950s, Walgreens revolutionized the way consumers shopped by introducing barcode scanning and self-serve checkout lines.
Between 1984 and 1994, Walgreens opened a staggering 1,000 additional stores. In 1999, the company launched their website and online pharmacy and celebrated the opening of their 3,000th store the next year. Today, the Walgreens Empire includes Walgreens had 8,206 stores across the US. The Walgreens brand also operates several well-known Internet pharmacy brands, such as Beauty.com, Drugstore.com and VisionDirect.com.

"Viva Quito!" Quito by acemj
Quito Travel Guide: 1,138 reviews and 3,192 photos
I'm not sure why Quito (and really Ecuador as a whole) doesn't get the accolades of some of the other famous cities in South America. Peru has Lima and Chile has Santiago. Argentina has Buenos Aires and Brazil has Rio de Janeiro. But what about Quito? It doesn't really register on the minds of most travelers outside of South America. After visiting, I still don't know why.
At over 2800 meters, Quito is a city perched nearly on top and in the center of the world. The former keeps the city pleasantly cool, while the latter keeps it from the long and icy winters of other famous high cities such as Denver, Colorado. The approach by air into Quito is somewhat treacherous, but if you are fortunate enough to arrive on a clear day, it will be easy to see why it's been such a popular location since well before the Spanish colonized it and left an unmistakable mark on the architecture and culture of the city. The snow-capped mountains and forest-covered slopes surrounding the city provide a stunning backdrop for this quickly developing South American jewel.
Quito is the second largest city in Ecuador behind the bigger or more economically significant Guayaquil, however, Quito is the capital and is the more historically important and culturally alive of the two rival cities. The Old Town core is an amazing grid of cobbled streets, beautiful churches and Colonial charm. A few kilometers to the north, the more modern side of Quito reveals a forward thinking, youthful mindset, hip restaurants and a thumping nightlife scene, all of which conspire to attract an ever-increasing number of visitors from all over the world that decide to spend more than just one night before venturing off to the Galapagos Islands.
The highlight of my trip to Quito was meeting Catalina, who lives in nearby Cumbaya. Her hospitality and enthusiasm for Quito made my visit much more enjoyable and memorable and I will always be grateful to her for that.

Nice Quito page....
good tips here. thanks for the detail
It was great seeing you in Quito. Sergio lives in Cumbay�. We could have gotten together at the Esquina and had a pastry with coffee.
Waste of money. The view is fantastic....but admire it from outside the restaurant ( the one on Panecillo).
Damn... I need to go back to SA. I look forward to reading your commentary here!
Looks like someone was pretty enamored with his tour guide. ;>

The magazine's annual list hits newsstands Friday, but hit the Internet late Wednesday. Included among Time's list of influential "pioneers" is Sherman, who burst into the national consciousness Jan. 19 with his impassioned postgame interview after his tipped pass sent the Seahawks to Super Bowl XLVIII.
Here's what Time's Sean Gregory wrote about Sherman:
Sherman's rant solidified his reputation as one of the brashest and most candid players in the buttoned-up NFL. More important, it sparked a national conversation about race, stereotyping and sportsmanship. When critics labeled the dreadlocked defensive star a "thug," Sherman, a Compton, Calif.-raised Stanford graduate, engaged the debate, asking if the term was today's way of calling him the N word? In a heartbeat, Sherman altered the discourse and emerged as the smartest voice in the room.Sherman's inclusion in the Time 100 list comes as a bit of a surprise, but perhaps it shouldn't.
At a time when most pro athletes flee social questions, Sherman tackles them head on. And he backs it up on the field too, leading the Seahawks to their first Super Bowl win. So keep talking, Sherm. We have much more to learn.
The 26-year-old has been vocal about race relations in the U.S. since that fateful interview after the NFC Championship Game in Seattle, and has written about the topic in his occasional column for Sports Illustrated's Monday Morning Quarterback site. He is also opposed to the NFL's proposed ban of the N-word on the football field.
On Wednesday, Sherman headlined a panel of black football players who spoke about race at Harvard University, where they drew standing-room crowds. As The Associated Press reported from Cambridge, Mass.:
Sherman said he thought "thug" was just a more acceptable way of slurring black people; he's never heard it used for whites or Asians, he said.Sherman is not the only Seattle notable on Time's 100 list this year. Also included is Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, whose company continues to revolutionize the retail sector.
"If you call Richard Sherman a thug, you have never seen a thug," (Houston running back Arian) Foster told the business school students, drawing a big laugh. "It just blew my entire mind."
But the way Sherman handled it helped advance the understanding of black athletes, Foster said.
"To have those discussions at Super Bowl media (day), that's huge," he said.
Here's what venture capitalist Peter Thiel wrote about Bezos for Time:
Twenty years ago Jeff Bezos left a lucrative job in finance to drive across the country and start his own business. He went on a wild ride: from original hero of Internet commerce to poster child of dotcom hype to a second act on par with Steve Jobs' return to Apple.Check out who else is on Time's new list of the 100 most influential people in the world >>
Amazon is still the greatest tech story of the 1990s; it's also one of a few contemporaries still run by its founder. Nobody else reinvests almost every cent of profit in growth, as Bezos still does. Amazon is immensely valuable today, and almost all of its value comes from the future. The journey ahead for Jeff Bezos is just as great now as when he first set out in 1994.

Diabetes Health Center
Promising Diabetes Treatment Not for Everyone
June 6, 2000 -- A new treatment that may prove to be a beacon of hope for people with type 1 diabetes may be little more than a glaring reminder for people with type 2 diabetes of how the diseases differ.
Both types of the disease are called diabetes, but they harm the body in different ways, and type 1, in the short term, is much more life threatening than type 2. "They're both problems with insulin -- that's their common denominator," Suzanne Gebhart, MD, professor of medicine at Emory University School of Medicine and endocrine section chief at the Emory Clinic, tells WebMD. The similarities just about end there.
Insulin is produced by islet cells in the pancreas and is necessary for maintaining proper levels of sugar in the blood. In type 1, the islet cells don't function properly, so the people don't get the insulin they need. Daily shots of insulin are needed to prevent life-threatening reactions. A new study to be released in TheNew England Journal of Medicine details successful transplantations of islet cells into the bodies of seven people suffering from advanced stages of type 1 diabetes. Because their bodies can now produce their own insulin, the people no longer need the shots, and hopefully, they may not face the side effects of their diabetes.
About 90% of people with diabetes have type 2. It generally begins later in life, and about 85% of the people affected by it are overweight. Whether that excess weight actually causes the diabetes is still open to debate.
One thing is for sure, though; the islet cells of type 2 diabetics do the job they're supposed to. The problem is the body doesn't use the insulin that's produced properly, so the cells keep producing more and more insulin to less and less effect. Eventually, the islet cells can't meet the demand, leaving the patient with constantly high levels of sugar in the blood and the complications that go along with it. Infusing new islet cells into a type 2 diabetic could possibly help, to a degree.

I spend last two days with this issue. I really hope someone can help.
I'm developing a website of real estate so I need to a var named no_mls at the end of the URL to ake it identifiable.
I have to reach a specific format "mywebsite.com/lang/?no_mls=the_var_value"
My problem is that wordpress don't recognize my var.
I used (mess used probably) the add_query_var() function, then I set the permalink structure to /%category%/?no_mls=%postname%.
I'm thinking about changing the wordpress p in rewrite.php and link-template.php files but I think that there is a simpler solution that I cant' find.
The permalink rewrite works fine but I'm getting the 301 status and "no post found" message when I try to view the post.
Could someone offer a clue as to why this wouldn't work?

By By Sarah J. Schmidt, USAG Schinnen Public AffairsFebruary 17, 2010
SCHINNEN, Netherlands - AFNORTH International High School students got a firsthand look at defense-related careers during Job Shadow Day, Feb. 2, as they "shadowed" military and civilian professionals at USAG Schinnen and the NATO Air Base in Geilenkirchen, Germany.
Coordinated by Schinnen's Workforce Development Office, the event brought together 68 international students at AFNORTH from ten different countries for a day of real-life work that many had not previously experienced.
Turkish 11th-grader, Gorkem Ercan said this was the first opportunity he'd had to see particular career fields for himself. Ercan, who is interested in environmental engineering, "shadowed" USAG Schinnen's Chief Engineer.
"This was so practical," Ercan explained. "The things we got to see and experience today will stay in our minds much longer and really help us decide on our future careers," Ercan said.
Job Shadow gives students a unique opportunity for an up-close look at various professions. Students "shadow" occupational mentors during a normal day on the job, explained Kathy Foley, Schinnen's Workforce Development Coordinator. "One of the benefits is that students see how the skills they learned in school are put to use in the workplace," Foley said.
Since 1997, Job Shadow events have been hosted throughout the U.S. The initiative is led by the National Job Shadow Coalition, headed by corporate and government sponsors, including the U.S. Dept. of Education, AT&T and the nonprofit, America's Promise. This was the second year the event was held in the Tri-Border area.
Canadian 12th grader, Suzanne Nogue is interested in law enforcement, so she "shadowed" Schinnen's Military Police during the morning and GK's Legal Office in the afternoon. Walking from a mock crime scene where Military Police instructed students in collecting evidence, Nogue said the day far exceeded her expectations.
"I did 'Take Your Child to Work Day' with my parents, but this was so much better because I actually got to see and do some of the things I might one day do in real life," Nogue said.
American 12th-grader, Alex Graves agreed. As he and Nogue trudged through snow to reach the bloody crime scene (fake, of course), Graves realized some jobs aren't as glamorous as he'd imagined. "Still, it's pretty cool to see how a job is actually done instead of how it's shown on TV," Graves said.

Fiscal cliff compromise
Our representative in Congress, Alan Nunnelee, voted against the compromise bill that preserves current income tax rates on most Americans, while increasing the rates on households that earn more than $450,000. We're disappointed in his action.
The bill got bi-partisan support and passed the Senate 89 to 8 and the House, 257 to 167. It averted big tax hikes and deep federal spending cuts that most economists had predicted would send the country back into recession.
The legislation increases the capital gains tax on high-income households and limits personal exemptions and itemized deductions for high earners.
It also extends unemployment benefits for 2 million people, keeps dairy prices from spiking, and puts the payroll tax we pay toward Social Security back to 6.2 percent, from the temporary 4.2 percent.
Nunnelee, a Republican, released a statement saying, "Out of control spending is the reason we are $16 trillion in debt and, unfortunately, this deal adds to the problem. Allowing more revenue today and promising to look at cutting spending down the road is the oldest trick in the Washington book. Somehow, the day to cut spending never comes."
Heading back into recession to stand on political dogma and avoid compromise would have been unwise.
Fortunately, Mississippi's two Republican senators, Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker, took a more pragmatic approach and voted for the compromise.
Our congressman needs to learn from them.

The current value of 1.00 Chinese Yuan Renminbi (CNY) is 0.161193 U.S. Dollars (USD).
You can convert CYN to USD using a currency converter with live foreign exchange rates here.
A bit of trivia, Chinese currency is Renminbi which is abbreviated as RMB. The People's Republic of China officially first issued the Renminbi in December 1948. The basic unit is commonly known as the New Yuan or Renminbi Yuan, Yuan literally means "round" in Chinese.
In currency buzz, according to a new study from the Institute of International Finance (IIF), China's yuan is a growing force in global finance, more than doubling in use over the past year. Although its use in the international payments system remains dwarfed by the dollar and euro, the yuan, officially known as the renminbi, grew to 1.4 per cent of total transactions. Read more here.

I use this motor for my fishing pontoon. It works great ,just right for trolling, 3rd gear is perfect. Just make sure to buy a good battery and you will never have a problem.
Just bought this yesterday to push around a 17' Alumacraft canoe loaded to the max. I had 2 adults, 2 kids, a huge cooler and all associated fishing goodies in the canoe and the motor pushed us along at around 3-4 MPH by my estimate. This was on intracoastal water and the tide/current didn't really affect it too much. I would have rated it a 5 but the gap between speed 4 and 5 is just a little too big (not much difference between 3 and 4 but a big jump when you hit 5). Overall, a good value that made our fishing trip much more enjoyable.
I bought this item to use on My 22ft. pontoon boat. And I'm glad I did, I happen to run out of gas and it worked great to get Me back to shore. I would recommend this item to anyone looking for a trolling motor. Yours Truely Cosmo917
This little trolling motor was just what the doctor ordered. I purchased it to replace one that was too large for the boat I had bought. The amount of thrust on this motor was more in line with what I needed. I replaced one that had 54# of thrust, and this model with 40# was just right for my boating needs.
This motor is great for catching Bass, It moves in the water very smooth! When trolling, nothing is better than Minn kota !!
Very quiet during operation, 14 ft jon boat trolls great on speed 1
Bought it for my inflatable boat, it's very nice for trolling or just hanging around on the lake. Got fishing line reeled on the propeller when I was using it first time, could fix it right in the boat with the help of pliers only. It has enough of power and very simple to use!
This trolling motor is excellent! Me and my fishing buddy took it out on my jon boat, and it pushed us with ease! I'm about 200lbs. and so is he! It is a must have, and it is quite too!
Just right size for 10 foot Pelican boat. The bigger trolling motors have longer shafts but this one is just right. Pushes through water really well also.
The Minn Kota trolling motor is very good and well worth the money. Shipping was excellent, on time and expedient.
finally a product that lives up to its name. its a little bit of a power hog but its managable, little more torque and water ski , maybe

If you guys enjoyed the new Abigor, these guys are a blast. Totally unexpected, found through autothrall's wonderful reviews. Fantastic guitar playing with angular riffs and malevolent harmonies. Very technical, but still very black metal, like the new Abigor. 78 minutes, but it NEVER gets old, songs are constantly shifting and changing and growing. https://wtcproductions.bandcamp.com/album/liber-lvcifer-i-khem-sedjet

That first two rounds of the SFIII grand finals, wow MOV ~ and scary!
There was no shotos in the GF of SFXT.
Overall, ST Evo 2012 was way better but, this wasn't too bad and congrats to Damdai for taking it. I wanted Afrolegends to win that tournament. As for 3rd Strike: unbelievable. Sometimes, I get bored with 3rd Strike matches but, MOV vs Tokido grand final: MOV destruction. Honestly, it was a hammering and I've never seen Tokido getting ripped apart like that. Congrats to MOV.
@2 Imo i think MOV picked Ken to keep it more interesting, Chun-Li is his over-all best character and if he wanted to he could've still went with her but by doing that it wouldve made the grand final match kinda boring to watch. It'd be like watching 2 Ryus in ssf4 AE in the grand final match it would just look boring but anyway this is just my opinon so take it with a grain of salt if you or anybody disagree.

Hands up high n tight elbows in n u just turn slightly to take the middle channel away or potentialy block the punch with ur elbow or fore ARM.....this is the safest way that requires the least effort.....some of the other techniques leave u defensively irresponsible......so if someone thrown a right undercut.u turn toward ur own right slightly by turning using ur legs n slightly ay the waist....without leaning forward, this will take the middle channel away n turn ur left ARM n elbow in...it will catch that right undercut....do the opposite to block the left...the whole time the hands can be in a high guard n elbows at ur sides....dropping ur palms down opens u up for the hook....the method above is safest n easiest, it also puts ur weight in position to transfer it back into counter shots...

The presence of a trainee during endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) may have negative implications, including increased procedure time and complications.
Researchers from the University of Calgary retrospectively reviewed 607 EBUS procedures, of which a trainee was present for 512.
Significant differences were seen when a trainee was present vs when no trainee was present for procedure length (58.32 vs 37.69 min) and for the dose of propofol used (178.28 vs 137.11 mg).
In addition, more complications were seen in the trainee group (24 vs 1).
This study was presented during CHEST 2012, the annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians, held October 20 – 25, in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Maestro's Israel Bonds
Los Angeles
Zubin Mehta's picture does not appear in dictionaries next to the word "cosmopolitan." But perhaps it should. Few people better embody worldliness than this Bombay-born, Vienna-trained conductor, who has enjoyed long-term associations with many leading orchestras and opera houses world-wide. Yet of all his artistic relationships, one stands apart: his 50-year collaboration with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
Established in 1936 as the Palestine Orchestra, the Tel Aviv-based ensemble has been Israel's premiere performing-arts institution since that nation's founding in 1948. Its frequent world tours serve an almost diplomatic function and are as much a part of its raison d'être as its local concerts. Though others have led the group abroad—Gustavo Dudamel conducted an American tour in late 2008—Mr. Mehta has been the orchestra's public face for decades. Their latest tour together, which heralds the orchestra's 75th anniversary in December, begins Saturday in Naples, Fla., and concludes at the Walt Disney Concert Hall here on March 1.
Mr. Mehta, who himself turns 75 later this year, has since childhood preferred warm weather and sea breezes, which may partly explain his affinity for Israel. It also accounts for why he and his wife maintain a house in Los Angeles, which they bought from the actor Steve McQueen in the early 1970s when Mr. Mehta was music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Located atop a hill in this city's exclusive Brentwood area, it commands views of the Pacific Ocean that understandably draw the conductor back between engagements. He was there on a sunny day last month, looking hale and well rested as he reflected on his close relationship with the Israel Philharmonic.
"A fourth of my life for the last 42 years," Mr. Mehta said in his characteristically crisp, exotically accented voice, calculating the time he has spent with the Philharmonic since his appointment as its music adviser in 1969. "It is just concert after concert of internal spiritual satisfaction. We feed off each other and have for so many years. There have been tensions sometimes, but not as much as there might have been."
He points proudly to the orchestra's self-governing structure, even as he acknowledges some of the challenges it presents. "We receive just 7% or 8% of our funds from the government," he said. "Ticket sales bring in about 60%. The rest we beg for. That's a lot of money, and that's where the friends groups come in. We are very grateful to them. And we don't understand extremely rich Israelis who do not help. They don't realize that the orchestra is one of the only positive factors coming out of Israel today, especially with the present government. It's not the flavor of the month. You should see the success we've had in China and Japan, countries that are not necessarily such friends of Israel."
Mr. Mehta's first contact with the orchestra came in May 1961, when he substituted for an indisposed Eugene Ormandy. But not until 1966—when he stepped in for Carlo Maria Giulini during a Philharmonic tour of Australia and New Zealand—did a durable bond develop between Mr. Mehta and the Israeli musicians. "That's when I first really connected with the orchestra," he said.
Following a successful European tour in 1968, the Philharmonic appointed him music adviser. And he was named its first music director in 1977. Since 1981 he has held the title of music director for life—an honor he minimizes. "It's just a handshake," he said. "There's no contract. And I always tell the orchestra that they can dispense with me any time they like."
Though Mr. Mehta has seen many changes at the Philharmonic during his long tenure, he cites consistencies, too. "When I started, it was an orchestra of the Hapsburg monarchy," he said. "There were Viennese, Poles, Hungarians, Czechs and some German Jews, but basically all Yiddish speakers. Then the sabras"—Jews born in Israel—"started coming in. And now, since the emigration from the Soviet Union, it's become a Russian orchestra, but one continuing with the Central European sound. I have not let that sound disappear. If I had engaged 60 Russians at once, it would have changed, but it was gradual. So the warmth in a Schubert symphony or in Beethoven's 'Pastoral' Symphony is still the sound that I grew up with in Vienna."
The conductor takes credit for having broadened the orchestra's repertory and encouraged greater stylistic flexibility. Yet some things remain innate. "Mahler is in their blood," he said. "Leonard Bernstein once told me that even sight-reading Mahler, this orchestra sounds Jewish."
And then there is the Wagner ban—a particularly sore subject for Mr. Mehta. "We just don't talk about it anymore," he said. "I tried and Daniel Barenboim tried, both unsuccessfully. There are still people with tattoos on their arms in Israel, and they don't want it. So we shy away from it. But Wagner is half my world, and it's frustrating for me not to play it with my favorite orchestra. It's also a vacuum in their musical education. We play Richard Strauss. But Strauss didn't take part in Nazi activities and was not anti-Semitic; Wagner was 110% anti-Semitic. We will keep trying with Wagner, but I can't tell you when. I would so love to do a concert performance of the second act of 'Tristan und Isolde' one day, though we don't have to play 'The Ride of the Valkyries' immediately."
Mr. Mehta has other aspirations as well. Among his educational efforts in Israel is a project that involves the country's Arab citizens. "We have about 250 Arab kids in this program," he said. "It is absolutely my dream to have an Israeli-Arab kid playing in the Philharmonic one day. It will happen. About six of them have already made it to the university. I see this as the future of Israel. Maybe music will help us come together."
Mr. Mermelstein writes for the Journal on classical music and film.

I'm using the Templatic eCommerce theme to set up my web store but when I make a new post the image won't resize on the home page, it stays the same size and the thumbnail only shows part of the image. At the bottom of every new post there is a little section that says e-Commerce Custom Settings that allows you to put a custom image location in for resizing. Its says "Enter full URL path for image to be used by the Dynamic Image resizer. (including http://). Image must be uploaded to your blog or it won't resize due to copyright restrictions of TimThumb script. You also need to Chmod cache folder in theme files to 777 restrictions." I'm changed the restriction and i know for a fact I'm putting the right URL but I'm not really sure on the middle one. I've searched every forum known to man to find a solution and if you figure this out you'll be a hero in my book. Thanks. Also I don't know if I put enough information, let me know what else you need to know, as I said , I'm new.

Clough, the 47-year-old son of former Derby and Nottingham Forest manager Brian, takes over immediately at the club, who were relegated from the Premier League six years ago.
Capped 14 times by England, Clough played under his father for Nottingham Forest before spells at Liverpool and Manchester City and was manager at Championship (second-tier) side Derby County until he was sacked last month.
"We count ourselves lucky to have Nigel aboard," Sheffield co-chairman Prince Abdullah bin Mosaad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud said on the club website (www.sufc.co.uk).
"He knows how to inspire first-team players to give their all and has a proven track record of making an academy a key ingredient to the club's success."

In Kentucky, No Instant Racing Anytime Soon
Legislation to authorize Instant Racing at Kentucky racetracks apparently won't come up again anytime soon.
Legislation to authorize Instant Racing at Kentucky racetracks apparently won't come up again anytime soon.
The New Hampshire Senate March 24 passed legislation authorizing video lottery terminals at six locations, including Rockingham Park.
New York Gov. David Paterson is pushing a plan with legislative leaders to re-bid the Aqueduct casino project, a proposal that could push off a final decision until the end of the year.
A bill on West Virginia's 10-10-10 program, which offers purse supplements to in-state Thoroughbred owners, as well as breeders and stallion owners, awaits action by the governor.
Republican Kentucky Sen. Damon Thayer spent more than an hour March 18 in a GOP caucus in an attempt to make a case for Instant Racing via statutory approval.
Legislation authorizing Instant Racing at Kentucky racetracks is in line for major revisions that would place approval squarely in the lap of the governor or Kentucky Horse Racing Commission.
An executive with RaceTech, the company that produces Instant Racing machines, said the product has held up well against electronic games of skill at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas.
Legislation authorizing Instant Racing, a tax on advance deposit wagering, and a reduction in the pari-mutuel excise tax sailed through the Kentucky Senate Committee on State and Local Government March 11.
Penn National Gaming Inc. said March 8 that it has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Beulah Park in Grove City, Ohio.
Beulah Park in central Ohio is poised to be, or has been, sold to Penn National Gaming Inc., according to Ohio racing industry representatives.
Yet another bill authorizing gaming at racetracks has been introduced in the Kentucky General Assembly. With less than a month to go in the session, no action has been taken on any gaming-related legislation.
West Virginia horse racing's "10-10-10" program, which offers purse supplements to in-state Thoroughbred owners, as well as breeders and stallion owners, would return under legislation passed by the state Senate March 2.
In a major sign the Aqueduct video lottery terminal project could be in jeopardy, Gov. David Paterson is no longer counting on the winning bidder to supply the cash-starved state with $300 million by March 31.
The Kentucky Equine Education Project Feb. 12 reiterated its calls for immediate action from the Kentucky General Assembly to assist the horse industry in the state.
Gov. Steve Beshear is urging Kentucky lawmakers to take another look at legalizing video lottery terminals to avoid cuts in the state's next budget.
A November 2010 ballot question on racetrack video lottery terminals in Ohio moved a step closer to becoming reality Feb. 8.
A poll indicating strong support for racetrack video lottery terminals -- and even stronger support for a constitutional amendment on the issue -- generated plenty of talk among Kentucky legislators Feb. 3.
Table games could be operating at three Delaware racetracks sometime this summer.
A surprisingly good night for business on a winter evening at Turfway Park doesn't hide the fact Kentucky's year-round Thoroughbred racing industry is in serious trouble.
A transition committee has submitted a report that recommends statewide consolidation of the New Jersey horse racing industry, shorter Thoroughbred meets at Monmouth Park, and the opening of more off-track betting parlors.
Legislation calling for a constitutional amendment on any expansion of gambling in Kentucky failed to garner the required number of votes for passage in the state Senate Jan. 21.
Legislation calling for a constitutional amendment on any expansion of gambling in Kentucky passed a Senate committee Jan. 20 on a predictable party-line vote.
Democratic Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear called the state legislature's bluff Jan. 19 by presenting a two-year budget that relies on more than $700 million in revenue from gaming machines at racetracks.
Saying his bill for a constitutional amendment on expanded gambling in the state is gaining support from some members of the Kentucky horse industry, Republican Sen. Damon Thayer put action on the bill on hold Jan. 13.
The Delaware Sports and Video Lottery Commission Jan. 12 rejected the results of a study that suggests adding two casinos in the state would increase revenue and jobs.
As the Delaware government awaits the results of an independent study into the expansion of casino gambling in the state, a study commissioned by three racetracks concluded the addition of casinos will cannibalize the market.
NYRA president Charles Hayward said the state needs to choose a casino operator for Aqueduct or the association will run out of money in June, which puts the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) at risk. As of now, the race will be run.
A Kentucky lawmaker has again requested an opinion from the state attorney general as to whether Instant Racing machines are legal under pari-mutuel statutes.
As the Kentucky Equine Education Project vows to continue its legislative push for racetrack gaming, a state lawmaker plans to move forward with his plan for statewide and local option votes on gaming.
Charles Town Races & Slots won approval Dec. 5 to install table games to go along with its 5,000 video lottery terminals.
The Saratoga Race Course Local Advisory Board has asked state government leaders to resolve the issue of selecting an operator for the video lottery terminal project at Aqueduct.
All five remaining bidders for the Aqueduct gaming project said they have met a Nov. 6 deadline to guarantee a quick $200-million payment to the state of New York if they are chosen to develop the video lottery terminal casino at the Queens racetrack.
Republican Kentucky Sen. Damon Thayer has prefiled legislation calling for a constitutional amendment to authorize racetrack video lottery terminals.
An MTR Gaming Group official said Nov. 4 passage of a casino referendum in Ohio will create new competition but also offer opportunity for racetracks in the Buckeye State.
The president of Churchill Downs Inc. said he believes recent developments with the makeup of the Kentucky General Assembly are positive and could help lead to legalization of video lottery terminals at racetracks in the state.
Delaware Park raced 27 fewer days this year but registered increases in total handle and average daily handle, track officials said Oct. 28.
A plan by Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort to offer the statutory minimum of 210 racing dates but race only eight months instead of year-round has met with opposition from horsemen and others in the community.
Republican Sen. Dan Kelly, a member of the Senate committee that killed racetrack gaming legislation during a special General Assembly session earlier this year, was appointed by Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear as an 11th Judicial Circuit judge.
Churchill Downs and Kentucky horsemen have reached a three-year agreement that sets purse payments, establishes purse supplements and ends a legal dispute that began in the spring of 2008.
Kentucky's horse racing and breeding industry plans to stand its ground in the wake of a proposal for a constitutional amendment on gaming some have characterized as a politically-motivated stall tactic.
A Kentucky Thoroughbred breeder said Republican lawmakers plan to push for a constitutional amendment on racetrack gaming, but a spokesperson for the state's Senate leader said that's not the case.
Pro-racetrack gaming forces in Ohio have taken a strong stand in opposition to a November referendum on full casino gambling in the state's four largest cities.
Democratic Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland Sept. 30 put his plan for racetrack video lottery terminals on hold indefinitely in light of a recent state Supreme Court ruling and a need to balance the state budget.
Penn National Gaming Inc., believed to be facing an uphill battle in the bidding wars to develop a video lottery terminal casino at Aqueduct, has offered the cash-starved New York state government $250 million in a non-contingency, upfront payment for the exclusive contract and believes it's still in the hunt for the project.
Negotiators in New York have tentatively narrowed down the bidding list to three entities to run the long-delayed video lottery terminal casino at Aqueduct, and a final decision could come as early as the week of Sept. 28.
Democratic Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland indicated Sept. 21 his administration is preparing to take the "next steps" in the wake of an Ohio Supreme Court ruling that says a statewide referendum is required before the state implements racetrack video lottery terminals.
Lane's End Farm general manager and prominent Republican Bill Farish said the Kentucky horse industry "will continue to hold our elected officials accountable, and we will not stop working until our state government gets out of the way and allows us to have the tools necessary to compete."
The Ohio Supreme Court Sept. 21 gave opponents of installing video lottery terminals at racetracks the chance to ask voters to repeal the plan.
Kentucky Senate President David Williams has continued a war of words with leading Democrats over the politics surrounding proposed racetrack gaming in Kentucky. But Williams, a Republican, has also apparently drawn the ire of Kentucky's top GOP leader.
Hoosier Park Racing & Casino has announced purse increase that has put purses about 20% higher than they were when its meet began July 30. Thus far, the Indiana track has paid about $30,000 more a day than Turfway Park in neighboring Kentucky.

Different from traditional networks, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are highly dependent on specific applications and are severely constrained by energy, storage capacity and computing power. To prolong the lifetime of the whole networks, energy awareness is an essential consideration when we design or analyze routing protocols. In this paper, we present a review of recent routing protocols in WSNs and classify them into three categories based on the network structure in WSNs. Then we describe the existing routing protocols and discuss their advantages and disadvantages of each routing algorithm. Finally we conclude this paper with open research issues and challenges.

The Realtor turned back toward them, teeth bared in a predatorily charming smile. "So what do you think?"
Fred hesitated. "It's all a bit eldritch."
"Solid construction, yes, indeed. Great wood, eldritch. Lasts forever."
"And all those doorways." Lucille shuddered. "And pillars."
The Realtor nodded. "Those ageless eons. Non-Euclidean geometry was very big at the time. It's coming back, though. Hot new trend."
"Non-Euclidean," Fred huffed. "Basically means crooked, right?" Crooked and lumpy."
"Well," the Realtor spread his hands. "That's Cyclopean builders for you. Can't very well build to nice clean corners if you've got no depth perception, can you?"

For the realization of digital filters in a semicustom environment, high-performance adder and multiplier modules have been developed. These modules define the performance limits for digital finite impulse response (FIR) filters. The Gate Forest semicustom environment is a sea-of-gates-type transistor array. It supports the implementation of dynamic (domino) CMOS logic circuits. The circuit-design technique is applicable to compact high-speed designs. The realized dynamic adder architecture consists of a 2-b group adder and a Manchester carry chain (MCC). For an
