International Applicants
Union Presbyterian Seminary welcomes international students who plan to serve the global church.
Basic Degrees Applications
- Documented endorsement of their denomination or other church agency.
- English Language Proficiency: International applicants who do not speak, write, or read English as their first language are required to submit current scores from the four sections of the internet-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT). Scores from the paper-based test will no longer be accepted. Applicants must achieve a minimum of 20 on each section of the TOEFL iBT in order to be considered for admission. We will not accept IELTS scores in lieu of TOEFL iBT scores. Test information is available from Educational Testing Services at www.ets.org. Those who have completed four years of bachelor's or higher level of study in an institution in the United States of America may request an exemption from the Director of Admissions.
- Interviews: Interviews with both a member of the faculty, and a member of admissions, are required. If you are applying for the Th.M. program, an interview with both the Director of Graduate Studies, and a (the) member of the faculty with whom you wish to study, are required. Once we have received your completed application and your TOEFL scores, we will help you to schedule them. There are three ways in which you may interview: in person on either campus, by Skype, or by phone. Please contact Tanya Wineland, Admissions Assistant, at 804.278.4221 or by email at email@example.com to arrange your interview.
Financial requirements: An international student Certification of Funding form with bank statements showing available funds from each source of assistance and documentation certifying the availability of funds sufficient to cover living expenses during the course of study at Union Presbyterian Seminary. Applicants who are accepted must deposit funds with the seminary by May 1 preceding the fall term.
Living Expenses (2016-2017 estimated costs)
$34,893 single student 11-month budget for tuition, books, and living expenses if living on campus. International health insurance rates vary and are not included in this figure.
$37,368 married students with no children 11-month budget for tuition, books, and living expenses if living on campus. International health insurance rates vary and are not included in this figure.
Financial Aid
Students who are admitted and qualified for need-based financial aid receive funds to pay up to 75% of tuition. Particularly well-qualified international students may receive aid in the form of merit scholarships. However, international students who accept merit-based scholarships are not eligible for institutional need-based aid. Financial aid will not cover travel or living expenses.
- Living Expenses (2016-2017 estimated costs)
- The international student advisor in the academic dean's office will assist admitted students in completing visa forms after money has been deposited.
- Submit all required forms and deposit all required funds by May 1 for each year of study.

Cashmere Head Baseball Coach Jeff Carlson was named the Washington State Coaches Association Coach of the Year for the small school classification 1B, 2B, 1A and 2A.�He traveled to Safeco Field on Nov. 17 to take part in the Hall of Fame Luncheon.
CHS Baseball Coach Carlson wins 'Coach of the Year' award
Kacie Thrift
Staff Writer
Coming off a state championship, Cashmere Head Baseball Coach Jeff Carlson received the Dave Johnson Coach of the Year award from the Washington State Baseball Coaches Association on Nov. 17 at Safeco Field in Seattle.
"I didn't know anything about this award until the president of the Coaches Association called and said we want to honor you," Carlson said. "This is coming off the success from last year. It was a special year and everything has seemed to line up perfectly."
Carlson, a fifth grade teacher at Cashmere Middle School, has been coaching high school baseball, seventh grade boys basketball, and seventh grade football for the past five years. In that time, he has twice led the baseball team to state titles.
The award was presented to Carlson by the man who the award is named after, Dave Johnson. Johnson has been a friend and mentor to Carlson for quite some time. The two met when Carlson was playing sports for Chelan and his cousin was playing baseball in Ephrata for Coach Johnson.
When Carlson received the coaching and teaching job at Cashmere five years ago, he called up Johnson and asked if he could work for Johnson's summer camp. Over the years, Carlson has picked Johnson's brain to implement Johnson's strategies, philosophy, and tactic to his own program.
Carlson said his coaching style is not about winning games but building relationships with the students and helping them build character.
"I just really enjoy that connection outside of the classroom and getting to know them that way," he said. "They are there voluntarily. Sometimes kids feel like they are forced to be in the classroom, but on the field, you feel like you can connect with them on a different level. You can have a higher standard."
Growing up playing sports, Carlson gained great experiences and learned things about life and the game from coaches he wants to pass on to his athletes. To some, it is obvious the benefits students and athletes receive from Carlson, but he said he learns just as much from them. He said coaching has taught him how to deal with people in different situations. Throughout the years, he has learned through an ongoing process what it means to be a successful coach.
Carlson said he has his athletes and staff to thank for being named Baseball Coach of the Year in Washington state for small schools (1B, 2B, 1A, and 2A).
"You don't win any awards if you don't have the kids to do it out on the field. We have a real good attention to detail and what we do I think we work harder than anyone else our kids invest a lot of time in the summer where as some of the other teams in our league don't have summer programs," Carlson said. "I think hard work on our kids part and on our staff part we have been able to put together a program the kids, school, and community are proud of and we are continuing to get momentum."
The coaching style Carlson favors is preaching the fundamentals and always holding the athletes to a high standard. He said the coaches in his program try to be very disciplined but also focus on building relationships and trying to connect with the athletes. Carlson said, because each kid is different, he tries to figure out what makes them tick and find ways to motivate each athlete.
Carlson's plan wasn't always to be a coach but eventually it happened. After graduating from Chelan High School, he went to Wenatchee Valley College where he received his Associates of Arts degree while playing basketball and baseball. He then went to University of Puget Sound in Tacoma to play basketball for two more years. After spending some time working in sales, he decided to move back to Wenatchee and earn his teaching certificate through Central Washington University while assistant coaching for the WVC men's basketball team.
A little over five years ago, the teaching and coaching position opened up in Cashmere and everything fell in place for Carlson. He said he has greatly enjoyed the last five years as a coach and teacher.
Carlson is married to Megan Carlson, Cashmere Middle School eighth grade teacher, and they have two kids Mac and Ryder. Carlson said he has the perfect coaches wife. Megan is a great supporter of the team and the two have managed to work out a home life while dealing with Carlson's busy coaching schedule.
"I really just take coaching year by year. You never know what is going to happen but I thoroughly enjoy it right now," Carlson said. "We really like Cashmere. It's a great community to be a teacher and a coach and we have great support from the community. We really like it here."

We developed an index to differentiate between low dissolved oxygen effects and sediment contamination effects for sites classified as degraded by the Chesapeake Bay Benthic Index of Biotic Integrity (B-IBI), using discriminant analysis. We tested 126 metrics for differences between sites with low dissolved oxygen and sites with contaminated sediments. A total of 16 benthic community metrics met the variable selection criteria and were used to develop a discriminant function that classified degraded sites into one of two stress groups. The resulting discriminant function correctly classified 77% of the low dissolved oxygen sites and 80% of the contaminated sites in the validation data.

This plugin has all that i need, except the user registration part.
My registration requires conditional login, example if user from Company A, they should fill form with certain fields, if the user is from Company B, they will have their own fields to fill.
This cannot be done via wp-members.
Anyone know how to hack this? or can we use other plugin to integrate with wp-member?

text: Cutting cloth. You are given a rectangular piece of cloth with dimensions X × Y, where X and Y are positive integers, and a list of n products that can be made using the cloth. For each product i ∈ [1, n] you know that a rectangle of cloth of dimensions ai × bi is needed and that the final selling price of the product is ci. Assume the ai, bi, and ci are all positive integers. You have a machine that can cut any rectangular piece of cloth into two pieces either horizontally or vertically. Design an algorithm that determines the best return on the X × Y piece of cloth, that is, a strategy for cutting the cloth so that the products made from the resulting pieces give the maximum sum of selling prices. You are free to make as many copies of a given product as you wish, or none if desired.

'Our life is ordinary but it's the ordinary moments that are sometimes the sweetest.'
What's Mummy Daddy Me all about?
Mummy Daddy Me started in March 2011 as a way of keeping me doing something creative while on maternity leave. When it began there were just a handful of UK family blogs and I had no idea how much it would grow. Having always been known by family and friends for never sticking at anything, I would never have thought that four and a half years later this blog would become such a huge part of our lives and enable me to work full time on it, while also setting up my own freelance business.
Essentially Mummy Daddy Me is all about our lives. It's our visual diary of those beautiful years where our children were little and life passed us by in a blur. We want to record every single little detail- the ordinary moments, the extraordinary moments and all those ones in between. But it's become a lot more than that. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that we would get to work with incredible brands and this would become my job.
I really don't know what kind of blog this is. I guess if we had to say it's a family lifestyle blog covering mainly travel, photography, interiors and day to day life in general. Over the years it's developed with a strong emphasis on travel, mainly because it's one of our biggest passions. (I also co-run a travel blog called Space In Your Case) But ultimately it's just about us. My little family.
This is our story.
Who's behind Mummy Daddy Me?
You may have noticed that our url is Mummy Daddy and Me makes Three. This was our original name, back when we only had one little person in our lives. Now there is another smaller, but just as feisty little lady making up our family.
Katie… (me!)
I'm Katie, the person who writes Mummy Daddy Me. I'm Mummy to two gorgeous daughters and I mostly spend my days with them, whilst working from home. (On this blog and my freelance work) Before they were born and took up all my time, I worked in online marketing for a large travel company- travelling has always been my passion. My other main passion is recording our memories- I absolutely adore photography and have just started to love creating videos of our life together.
I also love bright colours especially yellow, interiors, kids fashion, running, (when I'm not being lazy) and I am happiest when I'm with my little family. I would live on pizza, cookie dough ice cream and chocolate buttons if my waist line allowed it and I have a ridiculous obsession with diet coke- I realise it's so bad for me but it's definitely my guilty pleasure.
Oh and I am also a proper clean freak, our house is always tidy which is some mean feat when you have small children.
Mr E…
Mr E and I have been married for 6 years and been together for ten years. We met in Leeds when we both worked in a bar and we lived in a lovely flat just myself and him as friends before we got together- I have lived with him for our entire relationship which is something I guess most people can't say! (You can check out our little love story which I wrote down years ago – it makes me cringe to read it back!)
He is a designer/front end developer and set up his own business last year, after years of working for others. We are now working from home together in our little office and bizarrely we actually get on great considering we are together so much. He also helps me with all the deep coding on my blog that I just wouldn't have the patience to do myself- in fact he helps me with my blog a lot, only occasionally grumbling over the fact I make him go out and take photos on a weekend afternoon when he would rather be watching the football! I am very lucky that he is so supportive of me and my passions.
Mr E likes all the typical kind of stuff- he is a bit of a cycling geek and he loves design, football and cars.
Mads is our first born daughter who was born in 2010- she has a very exciting or unfortunate birthday depending on which way you look at it as she was born on Christmas Eve to the song 'When you believe' by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. She started her first year at school in September and so far is getting on great, I on the other hand can't believe where the time has gone and I am sad these days with her are over. I'm missing her a lot while she is at school.
She is cheeky and feisty, but is one of the most affectionate little people I know, constantly wanting to cuddle or just be near you. She has big blue eyes and curly long hair, but is a real 'tomboy'. She hates pink, anything she deems as 'girly' and doesn't like to be called beautiful, only cool. But she's beautiful AND cool to us.
She has the most endearing habit of playing with your ear and sucking her fingers when she is tired and unsure of herself and she truly is the best big sister, even though sometimes you wouldn't think about it with the arguments they have. Her favourite stuffed toy is Pongo, a spotty dog, and she's obsessed with Toy Story, Lego and watching You Tube.
LL is our baby, although she isn't really one of those anymore. She was born in February 2013 via elective c-section and she instantly completed our family. She's got the most beautiful set of blond curls, the most infectious smile and is generally nearly always happy. In fact you can't help but be in a good mood when she's around as she is always so cheerful. But when she isn't happy, then you better watch out, she's 'known' for her tantrums. Thankfully these are rare.
She's a lot more independent than Mads, happy to play on her own and you also have to work more to get a cuddle from her. She also adores her big sister and follows her around everywhere. She is turning into quite the character and she brightens our days.
Her favourite toy by far is Baa Baa, a little sheep that comes everywhere with her. Literally everywhere. She also loves anything her sister has, normally resulting in arguments as to who gets to play with it.
If you want to find out more about us then look at our questions page or if you want to work with us then have a look at some brands we have worked with.

Oral stocking choice of the month.
Throat fucking titles for the most part seem to have been replaced their kinder, gentler b.j. counterparts, and for that, raincoaters say amen.
This one's gimmick, as indicated by its Clever Title of the Month, has cock thugs feeding dick bitches real, honest-to-goodness yogurt at the beginning of the scenes, and real, honest-to-goodness man muck at the end. In between, there's lots of very hard, demonically energized oral action with attendant drool snakes, gagging, choking, slapping, etc.
The most, well, in your face of its 10 scenes are the turns by such scorched earth oral addicts as Alesha Bizart, Britney Madison, Missy Monroe, Heather Gables and above all, the now deported Ashley Long, who all but drowns in a flood of yogurt, spit, drool and ball butter, and as an added bonus, hungrily tongue fucks lots of man ass. What a mess. Pre-nom it for Best Oral Scene and the title itself for Best Oral-Themed Feature.

At Least There's No Wind Chill
By JAMES BROOKE
Published: February 18, 2001
IT was 2:32 a.m., and my nose was cold, very cold. Bundled in an Arctic-grade sleeping bag, on a bedding of deer pelts, I had scrupulously followed all the directions for sleeping in North America's first ice hotel. At the ice bar, I imbibed sparingly from ice cubes filled with vodka. I had exercised, walking back and forth -- boots crunching and clouds of breath rising -- down vaulted ice halls, admiring ghostlike sculptures of Inuit spearing seals and building igloos.
At 11 p.m., after noticing that I was the only guest still up, I made a last trip to a portable john outside and, after pulling aside a blue curtain, ventured into my bedroom. In the half light of a hidden bulb (low-heat, of course!) this 12-by-10-foot windowless chamber with glistening white walls looked like an ice cell, complete with a welcoming ice chair.
Earlier, at the prebedtime briefing, Yannick Lajoie, a guide, had told us that the human body loses a liter of water overnight. ''Humidity is the enemy,'' lectured Yannick, an impish, pony-tailed Québécois who usually makes his living guiding tourists to caribou. If you breathe into your sleeping bag, he continued, you will spend a very clammy, very chilly night. The trick, he concluded, is to breathe outside the bag.
I had a snug wool hat, called a touque north of the border. But, I asked, what about my nose? Yannick finessed the question, implying that warm air traveling through the nose warms the nose. Not willing to get into a public debate about a personal appendage in front of five total, and somewhat tense, strangers, I let it slide.
So, once in the sleeping bag, which was toasty warm, I woke up about every 30 minutes and rubbed my nose, which peeked from the bag like a frozen frankfurter tip.
Ice hotels, unlike your average Holiday Inn, rarely attract visitors for extended, or even repeat, stays. So here is a piece of advice I may never use: beat the nose problem by wearing the kind of full face ski mask once associated with bank robbers -- and in the future with ice hotel connoisseurs.
People stay at ice hotels for the novelty, not for the high-speed modem lines. For the novelty and for ethereal beauty, the new Ice Hotel Quebec-Canada scores high.
There is a ghostly sensation about seeing your breath as you walk through coldly glistening living spaces -- bedrooms, bar, movie theater and two art galleries. At night, after the day visitors have disappeared and the bar's sound system has shut down, the structure's four-feet-thick walls muffle echoes and outside sounds, creating a serene, if tomblike, atmosphere.
At daybreak, bluish light unexpectedly filters through blocks of ice placed in cutouts in the snow walls. In this mixed light, the ingenuity of Michel and Marc Lepire, a local father-son pair of ice sculptors, merits a closer look. In the main gallery, a life-size Inuit harpoons a seal, all carved in glittering ice, but for the rustic wooden harpoon. In another corner an Inuit is carving snow blocks for an igloo, once again all in ice but for the wooden snow knife.
In the main hall a chandelier sparkles with dozens of ice shards illuminated in the cool light of fiber optics, with wires magically disappearing into snow walls. At the reception desk, chiseled from blocks of ice, a real guest book stands open on an ice bookstand, complete with an ice plume and inkpot. Behind a curtain, in the mini-theater, a film about the making of the IMAX movie ''The Great North'' is projected against a flat snow wall. Although the movie theater could seat 25 people on fur-covered ice benches, only two or three lingered in the chill to watch a movie about Canada's big chill.
Interest has been so intense that the day after the Jan. 1 opening in Quebec, the hotel's Web site, www.ice hotel-canada.com, broke down under a barrage of 1.5 million hits. The hotel, which has six rooms and can sleep 22 people, is 90 percent booked through the end of the season, March 31. A few weeks ago a Turkish couple were married at the hotel, and the bride arrived on a dog sled and the guests sipped Champagne from flutes made of ice.
Exploring the hotel before bedtime, I noticed that fantasy scenes dominated all the bedrooms: the Dali room features ice love seats shaped like giant Mae West lips. The Canadian room has a huge ice armoire, an antlered deer head trophy glinting in ice, and, carved in bas-relief, a grandfather clock and a frozen fireplace. Rooms range from 112 square feet for a single to 264 for a room with several beds.
After dinner, I walked with several other guests down the main hall, passing puckish gargoyles, fleur-de-lis, and a newspaper box, all carved in ice, and went to the bar. The barman, dressed in a parka, poured shots of orange-flavored vodka into holes drilled in fist-sized cubes of ice. The bar also serves whiskey, beer, soft drinks, coffee, tea and mineral water. We sat on ice benches, once again insulated with deer pelts, where we studied our hands through the one-foot-thick lens of an ice-block table. Off to one side, behind the walk-in Absolut vodka bottle made of ice, was the litter of past happy hours -- piles of discarded ice glasses, each shaped, after a few sips, to the lips of the user. Intrigued by the idea of drinking in, instead of on, the rocks, skiers from Mont Ste.-Anne, a nearby ski area, have turned Quebec's ice hotel into this season's après-ski stop. By 9:30 the thermostat people start drifting away and only the overnight guests remain.

|Patriots | Chris Hogan gets golden opportunity
Mon, 25 Jul 2016 19:12:17 -0700
New England Patriots WR Chris Hogan is likely to see extended reps with QBs Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo with WRs Danny Amendola (ankle, knee) and Julian Edelman (foot) on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.
Fantasy Tip: Hogan has a chance in training camp and the preseason, but when the games begin for real he will likely be nothing more than a WR4/5 or flex option in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams.

|Patriots | Chris Hogan impressing
Thu, 09 Jun 2016 06:16:35 -0700
New England Patriots WR Chris Hogan has been a central figure during the first few open practices as he's catching everything thrown his way, and he's constantly getting open. During the first two days of minicamp, Hogan has caught nine passes from QB Tom Brady, most on the team, and another three from QB Jimmy Garoppolo.
Fantasy Tip: Hogan had a couple of high-volume games for catches last season and has the opportunity to thrive in this offense. He's a WR4 right now that could elevate in training camp.

|Patriots | Chris Hogan plagued by drops
Wed, 08 Jun 2016 19:45:16 -0700
New England Patriots WR Chris Hogan has been so-so during the early days of minicamp. He has made some impressive catches, including a one-handed grab Wednesday, June 8. However, he also has had a few drops in various drills and double-catches.
Fantasy Tip: Hogan was a niche player in Buffalo, and he has a golden opportunity in New England to work with a much better caliber quarterback. Still, he'll need to quickly build rapport with Tom Brady and not drop passes if he is to gain that trust.

|Patriots | Nate Washington could be cut
Mon, 09 May 2016 11:21:54 -0700
New England Patriots WR Nate Washington is not a lock for the final roster, in the opinion of ESPNBoston.com's Mike Reiss. Reiss indicated that only WRs Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan, Danny Amendola and Malcolm Mitchell are locks for the 53-man roster.
Fantasy Tip: It's interesting that a veteran like Washington wouldn't be a guarantee in the Patriots' relatively shallow receiver corps, especially considering Amendola's injury history. Washington should not be viewed as more than a WR5.

|Bills | Greg Salas ticketed for larger role?
Sat, 19 Mar 2016 15:17:16 -0700
Buffalo Bills WR Greg Salas appears to be the favorite to replace departed WR Chris Hogan, who signed with the New England Patriots in free agency earlier this month.
Fantasy Tip: Salas has flashed on occasion and doesn't have a lot of competition currently for the job (Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin), but he's an average NFL receiver at best in a run-heavy offense. The Bills figure to address the position at some point in the draft as well, so owners can move along in their quest to find a diamond in the rough at receiver.

|Patriots | Chris Hogan contract details
Tue, 15 Mar 2016 06:54:35 -0700
Updating previous reports, New England Patriots WR Chris Hogan's three-year, $12 million deal includes a $4.5 million roster bonus in 2016. He has base salaries of $1 million, $2.5 million and $3 million.
Fantasy Tip: Hogan is a WR5 flyer for now, but that could easily elevate to a WR4 with a good camp.

|Patriots | Chris Hogan to line up outside
Sat, 12 Mar 2016 15:38:53 -0800
New England Patriots WR Chris Hogan is likely to be the team's "X" receiver with WR Julian Edelman at the "Z" receiver and WR Danny Amendola in the slot. Hogan is bigger and stronger than the other two, but he has some deep-ball skills.
Fantasy Tip: Hogan looks like a nice sleeper as it stands right now. He could very well move into the WR4 range before the season begins.

|Patriots | Chris Hogan lands with Pats
Fri, 11 Mar 2016 12:11:31 -0800
Buffalo Bills restricted free-agent WR Chris Hogan officially signed with the New England Patriots Friday, March 11, after the Bills declined their right of first refusal.
Fantasy Tip: Hogan joins the Pats after catching 36 passes for 450 yards and two scores with the Bills last year. He had only six touchdowns in three years with them and was used very little. Hogan will have a chance for better production in New England behind Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman, but his numbers likely won't impress. Consider him a WR4 or 5 at the end of deeper drafts.

|Patriots | Chris Hogan signs Pats' offer sheet
Fri, 11 Mar 2016 09:38:10 -0800
Updating earlier reports, Buffalo Bills restricted free-agent WR Chris Hogan signed a three-year, $12 million offer sheet with the New England Patriots Friday, March 11. The first-year salary cap charge is $5.5 million, which will be tough for the Bills to match since they opened free agency with $4.5 million in cap space.
Hogan received a low tender from the Bills, which means they won't receive compensation if they can't match the offer. Hogan aligns inside and outside, which is flexibility the Patriots generally covet, and he has shown the ability to separate from defenders.
Fantasy Tip: Hogan could wind up being the Patriots' No. 3 receiver after they let go of Brandon LaFell. Hogan would be in the WR5 conversation on draft day with the Pats.

|Bills | BUF unlikely to match Chris Hogan deal
Fri, 11 Mar 2016 06:36:48 -0800
Buffalo Bills restricted free-agent WR Chris Hogan's offer sheet with the New England Patriots is structured as such that the Bills aren't expected to match the offer.
Fantasy Tip: It sounds like Hogan is joining the Pats. It's unclear where he'll fit in the pecking order, but the offense is fluid enough that he could be worth a WR5 flyer on draft day.

Linux Foundation Survey Confirms Professionalism of Linux Kernel
A recent survey by the Linux Foundation (LF) on Linux kernel development shows that the number of kernel developers has tripled in the last three years. In most cases the developers' work is funded by corporate sponsorship.
The report investigates the people and organizations behind kernel development and was written by kernel developers Jonathan Corbet and Greg Kroah-Hartman with support from the Foundation's Head of Marketing, Amanda McPherson. The authors investigated three years of kernel history, from Linux Version 2.6.11 to 2.6.24, and describe the development process and its contributors. Their conclusion is that both the number of developers and the number of companies supporting kernel development has increased dramatically. Around 1000 developers employed by over 100 different companies work on each kernel version. The report reveals that the number of developers has tripled since 2005. The authors see this as an accurate reflection of the increased importance of Linux as an embedded platform, on servers and on the desktop market. "Never before in the history of computing have there been so many companies, users and developers united behind one project, specifically one that has seen so much commercial success," said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation.
In its survey the LF reveals that between 70 and 95 percent of all developers are paid for their work. This revelation shoots down the myth of Linux being an operating system programmed by amateurs. More than 70% of all work on the Linux kernel is financed by IBM, the Linux Foundation, chip manufacturers Intel and MIPS Technology, embedded vendor Montavista, NetApp, and the Linux distributors Novell and Red Hat. Some 3621 lines of code are added to the kernel tree every day, and a new kernel is released every 2.7 months on average. Since 2005, the kernel has grown continuously by ten percent per year. "This is the foundation for the largest distributed software development project in the world.", say the non-profit organization proudly.
The report titled "Linux Kernel Development: How Fast is it Going, Who is doing it and Who is Sponsoring it?" is available for downloading free of charge from the LF website .

Screaming Tunnels
The stories are vague and conflict with each other. Was it a murderous father? Or was it an out-of-control barn fire? Sadly, the details are sketchy.
The one thing they agree on is that a child suffered a terrible death here, burned alive and screaming in the middle of this tunnel. Local legend has it that if you walk into the tunnel and strike a flame, you can still hear the screams carried on the cold, clammy breeze. A breeze that, strangely, never stops blowing.

I read your "New Commission Off To An Awful Start" editorial and was absolutely appalled by its purposely misleading content and implications.
I immediately got in contact with Ben Rich, a fellow (Veterans of Foreign Wars) VFW/Honor Guard member to ask him what was the scoop.
First let me say that this is a man that I personally know to be true to his word and with no personal agenda in his service as my commissioner.
Ben advised me that he did meet with Ron Sanchez and Ken Bryan at a post-primary election celebration after the results of the primary were released but that the other two candidates chose not to attend. He also told me that Mr. Cameron and Mr. Nick Meiszer (retired commissioner and county administrator) were also at his house.
He informed me that most of the meeting was discussing issues (those outlined in your editorial) that had been previously published in the Record and giving traditional celebratory high-fives with one another for their successes at the polls.
I know Ben Rich better than any of you at the Record. I know that he is a retired law enforcement officer and as such, his behavior is always governed by what is allowed by law.
In the exercise of his First Amendment Rights to peacefully assemble and conduct free speech, Ben would think nothing of harmless discussion with civilians, candidates for office or otherwise.
I have personally discussed my views with him on numerous occasions just as I have with Senators Nelson and Martinez and have even corresponded with the president of the United States. To suggest that we are not allowed, under the Sunshine Amendment, to hold discussions with our representatives is not only ludicrous, it is against the very foundation and fundamentals of our government!
You state that their actions are "reminiscent of old-time Chicago politics." Yet the flavor of your editorial, that there are dark and sinister forces afoot in St. Johns County, takes your paper into new territory of yellow journalism and further down the color spectrum toward the darker side of mud-slinging that besmirch the first real representative the common people of St. Johns County have had in years.
The people of St. Johns County have already proven that they are neither nave nor stupid.
Since we are reminiscing, accusations made by former Sheriff Perry comes to mind. This editorial begs the question: Who is really behind this editorial?
To the Record I say this: Your stab at making my efforts to convince good people to stay in office difficult, by labeling the only ones that are worth a toot as Chicago political crooks, will not work. The people of St. Johns County can see right through this!
To Ben Rich and those who may become commissioners I say this: Ben lives the adage of "leadership by example" and has a level of integrity rarely found in the political arena. He, like the people he endorses, works for us, not special interests. The people of the county are behind you and trust you.
To the readership of the Record I say this: Your copy of the Record's editorial about Ben can still be put to good use as carpeting in your parrot cage!

McDonald's McRib McReturns
Hey, you! Yes, you with the barbecue-sauce-stained chin and a wild, frenzied look in your eye. Over the last year, you've been a good boy or girl and now you want your reward, right? Well, good news! McDonald's has read your letter to Santa and has announced that America's favorite rib-shaped "pork" patty sandwiches will be returning to Golden Arches around the country.
For those foodies out there who feel that McDonald's has very little to offer, well... you're not wrong. The McRib isn't really something to start a cult around- although there already is one. This McRib is definitely the product of manufactured demand--if they were available all the time it's hard to believe anyone would make a fuss about them. The patty is a molded blob of just-a-little-too-soft, a-little-too-greasy pork scrapings--much like a flatter kind of hot dog. The sauce won't win any ribbons at RibFest, either. However, this skeptic must admit the pickles do provide a nice contrast in the sandwich.
McDonald's just announced the return of the
Ribwich McRib today. For those chomping at the bit for your own sandwich, the McRib locator promises to help you find the nearest McDonald's offering this bad boy. We still feel the website would be better if it were called McRibQuest...
For the DIY crowd, you can always make your own McRib at home using fresh ingredients (creepy clown mascot not included). The heavily reblogged recipe featured on Saveur.com last year, along with a little ingenuity, pork belly, and your favorite BBQ sauce, should approximate the object of our desire.
So, readers, how excited are you about the McRib coming back? Answer in the comments below.

One of the most popular elements of the web, is the viral video. Many of them have made us cry with laughter, so our colleagues at PC World US magazine have rounded up the top 9 viral comedy videos of 2008. These clips were selected based on number of views, from data gathered by TubeMogul.
9. Sexy! Flashy! Wonky! Super Obama Girl!
She makes male hearts beat faster than a speeding bullet and racks up video views with the power of a locomotive. Tilting the scales at 7.3 million views is Amber Lee Ettinger, better known as Obama Girl, with her clip, 'Sexy! Flashy! Wonky! Super Obama Girl!'.
The video, showing Obama Girl flying through various adventures in a tiny top and bikini bottom, didn't take long to become a phenomenon in 2008. Ettinger had already gained public attention with her 'I Got a Crush...on Obama' debut in '07.
Partnering once again with humor site Barely Political, the scantily clad Obama Girl turned her further adventures into an action-hero parable that made the race for the White House instantly more interesting.
8. Star Wars According to a three-year-old
Childhood innocence can be oh-so-charming - charming enough to grab 9.5 million video views and the number 9 spot on our list. As its title suggests, this video consists of a little girl explaining the plot of the original Star Wars movie, as she understands it.
The video drew more than 17,500 comments on YouTube alone. The parents of the unwitting star insist that they never coached or prompted, and that the video is simply the product of an organic toddler-style conversation. The parents also posted a blanket statement declining all business offers and agent representation, giving the ninth-most-watched clip of the year an even stronger aura of authenticity.
7. Miley Cyrus '7 Things' spoof
Hannah Montana may be topping the teen music charts, but in the world of viral comedy video, a spoof of her shtick stole the show. Coming in at number 8 is the parody of Miley Cyrus's song 7 Things, performed by solo parody artist VenetianPrincess .
The revisionist lyricist takes Cyrus's song recounting all the things she hates about her ex-boyfriend and twists it into a tune that enumerates all the things girls do that "straight guys don't realize." At least in VenetianPrincess's case, those things include creating an internet sensation that snagged more than 11 million views.
6. How to Be a Nerd
This year "how to be a nerd" became a smash hit. Accumulating close to 12 million views, the clumsily edited clip shows two young boys who demonstrate all sorts of nerd-friendly moves.

There's no doubt viral videos make us laugh. Check out our list of the top nine videos based on number of viewings.
5. Fred loses his meds
Whether or not you can comprehend the reason for his popularity (for what it's worth, I can't), the squeaky-voiced character 'Fred' is one of 2008's biggest breakout internet stars. In 'Fred Loses His Meds'- which attracted nearly 12.2 million views- the little guy forgets to take his medication and goes a bit haywire. (He's evidently supposed to be six years old.)
The real brilliance behind Fred may be the campaign's marketing success. The videos, people soon figured out, were sponsored by Zipit Wireless. Turns out that this pseudo-celebrity is actually a spokesperson.
4. Fred goes swimming
Fred's back at number 4 with his neighborhood swimming video. Somehow, the clip managed to draw about 12.5 million viewers desperate for anything that sounded vaguely like the kids in South Park or the rodents in Alvin and the Chipmunks. Am I the only one who doesn't get it?
3. Kibe Loco: dança do quadrado
It may not be in English, but this workout video spoof from Brazilian humor site Kibe Loco spoke to audiences worldwide. The third most viewed comedy video of 2008, 'Dança do Quadrado', attracted an impressive 12.6 million views.
What's the appeal here? Evidently in the world of YouTube the opportunity to watch people with unusual physiques - ultrasmall stature, for example, or incredibly thin legs - is simply irresistible. The best thing about it is that there's no Fred.
2. Frozen Grand Central
A grand stunt at Grand Central Station in New York captures the second-highest spot on our list. Public performance group Improv Everywhere convinced 200 people to walk into the New York hotspot and freeze in place, thoroughly confusing all of the regular passers-by.
This bold bit of nonperformance art garnered a round of applause and an international vote of approval, with more than 14.5 million views over the year.
1. Pojemna Paszcza

A client's blog has managed to accumulate a very large number of spam comments that are all identical. I'm trying to mass delete all of them using SQL in phpMyAdmin. I think it should be fairly easy as all of the comments are identical and have the text "Gucci Bags" in them.
