1.1 (Assassin) historical A member of the Nizari branch of Ismaili Muslims at the time of the Crusades, when the newly established sect ruled part of northern Persia (1094–1256). They were renowned as militant fanatics, and were popularly reputed to use hashish before going on murder missions.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- In the 11 th century in the Middle East the Shiite sect known as the Assassins would eat hashish before murdering civilian foes.
- In June, the Sultan had an Assassin try to murder Prince Edward.
- The Muslim Cult of Assassins of the 12th and 13th centuries, like the Jewish Zealots of the 1st, have been enrolled for this genealogical purpose.
Mid 16th century: from French, or from medieval Latin assassinus, from Arabic ḥašīšī 'hashish eater'.
During the Crusades political and religious leaders were targeted for murder by a fanatical sect of Ismaili Muslims led by Hassan-i-Sabbah, known as the 'Old Man of the Mountains'. Members of the sect were said to prepare themselves for these deeds by smoking or chewing hashish or cannabis, and were accordingly known in Arabic as hasīsī, 'hashish-eaters', which was filtered through French and eventually became our word assassin.

Alabama law enforcement agencies helped make Christmas a reality for a group of children Friday.
Santa made an early stop today at Children's Hospital in Birmingham.
A trailer full of toys were dropped off for the Sugar Plum Shop.
The shop gives parents an opportunity to shop for their children in the hospital for free.
And parents say is a burden lifted form their shoulders.
"It has been wonderful because being up here for so long we have been up here for 16 months ware just kinda living wherever we can we are have to buy of food out of pocket so its wonderful we don't really have to spend money on toys," said Susan Jernigan, mother of a patient.
Organizers of Operation Toy Drop say they hope to make this an annual program.

C-Sections And The Profit Motive In California
Every new analysis shows cesarean section in this country are pretty much out of control.
Now a look at the variations in the rates of cesarean sections in California find they're much more likely at for-profit hospitals — 17 percent more likely according to an investigation by the non-profit journalism outfit California Watch.
Statewide data show big variation in C-section rates, even when confined to women with low-risk pregnancies. At nonprofit Kaiser Permanente Redwood City Medical Center, the C-section rate was 9 percent. At for-profit Los Angeles Community Hospital, the rate 47 percent.
"The wide variation in C-section rates really is a cause for concern," Dr. Jeanne Conry, California district chairwoman of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, told California Watch. (She also happens to be on staff at Kaiser Permanente.)
A hospital can make more money from a c-section birth, which can produce twice as much revenue as a vaginal delivery.
A recent snapshot of the C-section around the nation found that about a third of births are now surgical procedures. Sure record-breaking rates have something to do with more older and overweight mothers, plus more twins.
But the California investigation focused on low-risk births and still found high rates at many hospitals, especially those that are owned by for-profit companies.
A spokesman with for-profit hospital chain Tenet Healthcare said California Watch's premise was wrong and that the choice of C-section is made by the patient and doctor without influence by the hospital.
A big problem around the country is the rate of births that are induced. Nowadays, about 44 percent of attempted vaginal deliveries are induced, a decision which is twice as likely to lead to a cesarean.

Amazon.com Review
Later greatness glimmers here: the offbeat sci-fi of "Thanasphere" (in which an astronaut encounters dead souls in space) and the hero's bogus adventures in alien lands in "Bagombo Snuff Box" look forward to Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five, as do the war stories "Souvenir," "Der Arme Dolmetscher," and "The Cruise of The Jolly Roger," which incorporate and amplify Vonnegut's actual war experiences. There's authentic midcentury news here, even in the gentle Saturday Evening Post social satire of "The No-Talent Kid," "Ambitious Sophomore," and "The Boy Who Hated Girls," which pretty much nail the high-school marching band experience. The pieces are peppered with odd, true observations and neat little turns of phrase: one incompetent kid in Lincoln High's band marches "flappingly, like a mother flamingo pretending to be injured, luring alligators from her nest."
You can't miss the ironic humor and the humane, death-haunted melancholy of the young war veteran and tyro writer. This collection beats his first novel, Player Piano, and anticipates the masterpiece Cat's Cradle, whose tiny chapters resemble short stories. Young Vonnegut is derivative, mostly of Saki and O. Henry, partly because he couldn't think of endings, and their switcheroos offered a handy model. But from the start, Vonnegut's idiosyncratic voice is unmistakable. --Tim Appelo

June 4 News: Canada Rewrites Environmental Laws To Help Fossil Fuel Industry
A round-up of the top climate and energy news. Please post other links below.
The government of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is rewriting the nation's environmental laws to speed the extraction and export of oil, minerals and other materials to a global market clamoring for Canada's natural resources. [Washington Post]
The government of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is rewriting the nation's environmental laws to speed the extraction and export of oil, minerals and other materials to a global market clamoring for Canada's natural resources….
"The idea is simple and straightforward: to make Canada the most attractive country in the world for resource investment and development, and to enhance our world-class protection of the environment today for future generations of Canadians," said Christopher Plunkett, spokesman for the Canadian government in the United States.
Rick Smith, executive director of the advocacy group Environmental Defence Canada, calls it "a war on nature and democracy." At least 500 Canadian organizations, along with several hundred in the United States, will darken their Web sites or publish notices Monday to protest the changes as part of a "Black Out, Speak Out" demonstration.
"This is the most anti-environmental legislation we've seen in decades," Smith said. "Very clearly, a lot of these changes are designed to expedite inappropriate pipeline proposals. It's essentially a big gift to Big Oil."
Plants and shrubs have colonised parts of the Arctic tundra in recent decades growing into small trees, a scientific study found, adding the change may lead to an increase in global warming pressures if replicated on a wider scale. [Reuters]
The government has been trying to water down key environmental regulations in Brussels despite trumpeting its commitment to green issues at home, leaked documents show. [Guardian]
Years of ferocious storms have threatened to gnaw away the western tip of a popular beachfront park two hours drive north of Los Angeles. Instead of building a 500-foot-long wooden defense next to the pier to tame the tide, the latest thinking is to flee. [Washington Post]
After recalculating data, climatologists have declared that Oklahoma last year suffered through the hottest summer ever recorded in the United States — not Texas as initially announced last fall. [New York Times]
If you miss this year's synchronized firefly display in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you can blame it on freakishly warm spring weather, perhaps linked to predicted weather extremes caused by global warming. [Summit County Citizens Voice]
Natives downstream from the oilsands in northern Alberta say they have caught more deformed fish in Lake Athabasca and will be sending them away for testing. [The Canadian Press]

Shell Oil Law Firm Gibson Dunn Attorney Jim Walden Now Face of Opposition to Safer Streets and Communities
RAIN and flooding that led to a state of emergency in Thunder Bay last week was the result of record weather — one more sign that things aren't right. It would appear that climate change is very much upon us.
In the face of staggeringly rapid changes in Ontario, the Harper regime is, just like Rightwing pathocracies in Australian states, destroying generations of painstaking work in environmental protection. All while paying tribute to their ideological and spiritual forebears by invoking the Big Lie that they are actually 'improving' environmental protection. You know, it's everywhere these days, the Lie so Big that ordinary people, who are troubled by their consciences when they lie, cannot believe that anyone would have the audacity or contempt for others to tell such a whopper, and hence believe that it must be true.
Global warming changes tundras into forests much faster than anyone expected
Well, we knew this was going to happen eventually – but now scientists
are actually seeing it with their own eyes. Researchers from Finland
and Oxford University have discovered that large swaths of European
and Asian arctic tundra are quickly turning into forests. They're attributing it to climate change, but what's worse is that the trend could significantly accelerate global warming should it spread across the entire tundra.
"It's a big surprise that these plants are reacting in this way," said Dr Marc Macias-Fauria of Oxford University's Department of Zoology and the Oxford Martin School, first author of the paper. "Previously people had thought that the tundra might be colonised by trees from the boreal forest to the south as the Arctic climate warms, a process that would take centuries. But what we've found is that the shrubs that are already there are transforming into trees in just a few decades."
"The speed and magnitude of the observed change is far greater than we expected," said Professor Bruce Forbes of the Arctic
Centre, University of Lapland, corresponding author of the paper.
I can't imagine what it would be like to be forced into an Indian Reservation and then find the fish have gone toxic. I hear that cancer rates in this Reserve are astronomical, but a lot of energy is directed toward keeping the situation quiet.

I annually review and vet dozens of organizations like 410 Bridge. In the last 4 years in this role, I have only come across one, maybe two, organizations that are as disciplined and focused. 410 Bridge is a top-tier community development organization. They have a highly developed strategy grid through which sound decisions are made. They execute these strategies using an assest-based grid. They holistically engage the communities in which they work to see complete transformation that will last for generations to come.

I was not impressed by the planning and goal setting for my trip. Lacked a clear objective. The trip seemed more about giving the volunteers a "mission trip vacation" than a results based and goal oriented mission. Very arogant approach towards the volunteer's questions and complete disregard to the years of experience and expertise of the volunteers.

Zac Brown Band serves up Thanksgiving treat with new video
Zac Brown Band fans got an early Thanksgiving treat this week with the release of the music video for "Goodbye in Her Eyes." The band continues to mark themselves as creative video innovators on the singles from this year's album, "Uncaged." A couple months ago they released the rollicking animated Mike Judge-created piece for "The Wind." Now, they return with a unique perspective on perhaps the album's best track.
This time, the boys from Georgia apply the new single's emotional lyrics of soon-to-be-lost love and a swelling harmony-rich melody to a sepia-tinged circus scene.The result is a starkly beautiful, visually engaging menagerie of animals, jugglers and acrobats interwoven with the uncertainty of young love. »Read Full Blog Post

Salmonella 'Still a Challenge'
The report confirms that 2010 target levels for salmonella, listeria, and campylobacter have not been met, and Goldman singled out salmonella as a particular concern.
Raw and undercooked poultry and eggs are major sources of salmonella illness.
FSIS inspectors reported a decline in processed poultry contaminated with salmonella in 2009, compared to 2006, and an increase in processing plants that met the agency's standards for preventing contamination, according to the report.
But Braden says these improvements have not translated into hoped for declines in salmonella illness.
"Salmonella continues to be a challenge," he says. "Salmonella is the most commonly diagnosed and reported food-borne illness. The incidence of salmonella infections has declined by 10% since surveillance began in 1996, but it is furthest of any of the pathogens from the goals we have set for reductions."
Oyster-Related Illness Increasing
Other highlights of the annual FoodNet report include:
- Food safety officials could not explain why illnesses related to vibrio bacteria have increased by 85% since reporting begin. Raw and uncooked oysters are the most common cause of vibrio illness.
- Other than E. coli, the only significant decline in recent years has been in shigella infections. Some shigella is transmitted by food, but most infections come from person-to-person contact. Child day-care centers are common sources of infection.
- For most infections, the illness rate was highest among children under the age of 4, but people over 50 had the highest rates of hospitalization and death.
Goldman says food preparers can have a big impact on food-borne illness by following the U.S. Department of Agriculture's food safety advice to cook, separate, clean, and chill.
This means:
- Cook all foods to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria.
- Separate cooked and uncooked foods, as well as those eaten raw and those cooked before eating.
- Clean your hands and work surfaces frequently while cooking.
- Chill foods that need refrigeration and never let these foods sit at room temperature for more than one or two hours.

Primary infection with varicellazoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox. After the primary infection, the virus remains dormant in the sensory ganglionic neurons until reactivated.1 The mechanism of reactivation is poorly understood, but various insults like malignant neoplasms, irradiation, immunosuppressive therapy, or aging cause reactivation of the virus, producing lesions of herpes zoster (shingles).2 While the incidence of chickenpox is greatest among the 5- to 9-year-old age group,3 the incidence of zoster, which may occur at any age after primary varicella infection, increases sharply after the age of 50 years.4 Herpes zoster in otherwise normal children occurs without any obvious predisposing cause. Extensive data are available regarding herpes zoster in adults2 and immunocompromised children,5-7 but little is known about this disease in immunologically competent children.8-10 We have compared the epidemiologic and clinical features of herpes zoster occurring in seven otherwise normal children with the same

Lady and the Tramp (Two-Disc 50th Anniversary Platinum Edition)
It's still one of the sweetest kisses onscreen, up there with Bergman and Grant, Bogey and Bacall: the moment when pampered purebred Lady and streetwise mongrel Tramp, sharing a moonlit plate of spaghetti in an alley behind an Italian café, unknowingly slurp the same strand, and suddenly find their mouths meeting in surprise and tenderness. Ah, puppy love. Lady and the Tramp is a delight of animation and surprisingly deep character development, given that the stars are all dogs. Lady, an adorable Cocker Spaniel, feels neglected when her owners become distracted by the pending birth of a baby. But the last straw is clueless Aunt Sarah's appearance with her conniving Siamese cats (among Disney's most creatively evil villains), who wreak havoc on Lady's blissful home life. Soon Lady is off on an adventure in the streets, where the savvy Tramp takes her under his paw. The lessons of friendship and loyalty, of integrity--not to mention trusting in the kindness of strangers--ring true to delighted children and adults alike. And unlike many Disney films, there's no real violence, only challenges that smart dogs (including a tough-talking vamp named Peg, voiced sublimely by Peggy Lee, who also wrote the songs), banding together, can tackle. The animation is terrific; the scene where we first meet Tramp shows him rinsing off under a pipe, and his subsequent shaking-off of the water follows the detailed rippling up and down his back that any dog lover will recognize. And is there any song more romantic than "Bella Notte"? Bellissima! --A.T. Hurley

"A word to the folks at Disney: by keeping prices high and features down, you're helping to alienate even your staunchest supporters, of which I used to be one. Unfortunately, not recommended."

My website recently went through a domain name change. After the change i noticed none of my images were showing up on the home page. I tried using the search and replace plugin (selecting content and GUI then under that I put the old domain in the search for and the new domain in the replace) all it seemed to do was change my empty images boxes on the site to broken text links.
How can this be resolved?
Here is my new site blog.managersareheroes.com. My old site was managersareheroes.com

Since its release, XBMC has completely changed the way we consume media through our devices. Originally standing for Xbox Media Center, this software media player has come a long way and the developers think it's time for a name change – a name change to Kodi.
If you're a regular follower of Apple TV Hacks, you might remember reading a similar story before. Earlier this year, Apple introduced a promotional offer for Apple TV, thanks to which every purchase of the set-top box would come with a free $25 iTunes Card. And as per Apple Online Store, the deal is live again.
Torrents are a huge industry by itself, dealing with contents ranging through movies, songs, videos, ebooks and softwares. Leaving aside the fact that they occupy the legal grey zone, torrents are still one of the most loved ways to find media for millions. And now, a new app called TorrenTV aims to make things easier by streaming torrent videos directly to your Apple TV.
Finally, Apple has decided to change the way your Apple TV interface looks. However, this might not be the redesign you've been dreaming of, since the new UI just brings a new set of icons and a new thinner font.
Apple TV is getting overwhelmed with new channels. It's hardly been a week since the FX Now and CNBC apps made it into Apple TV, when new rumors have emerged on the imminent launch of the NFL Now channel. The above picture was taken by an NFL employee and shows the channel in testing on an Apple TV.
Looks like cord cutters waiting for the next Apple TV will have to hold on a little longer. Reading through dozens of leaked info from various sources, it was generally believed that the next Apple TV will be announced this fall to be available on shelves in time for the holidays – a perfect 100 dollar gift! But a new report from The Informant states otherwise. [click to continue…]

- Entrez Gene: 57506
- Ensembl: ENSG00000088888
- UniProtKB: Q7Z434
Previous GeneCards Identifiers for MAVS Gene
Summaries for MAVS Gene
This gene encodes an intermediary protein necessary in the virus-triggered beta interferon signaling pathways. It is required for activation of transcription factors which regulate expression of beta interferon and contributes to antiviral immunity. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
GeneCards Summary for MAVS Gene
MAVS (Mitochondrial Antiviral Signaling Protein) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MAVS include viral infectious disease and chikungunya. Among its related pathways are Immune System and Influenza A. GO annotations related to this gene include protein kinase binding and CARD domain binding.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for MAVS Gene
Required for innate immune defense against viruses. Acts downstream of DDX58/RIG-I and IFIH1/MDA5, which detect intracellular dsRNA produced during viral replication, to coordinate pathways leading to the activation of NF-kappa-B, IRF3 and IRF7, and to the subsequent induction of antiviral cytokines such as IFN-beta and RANTES (CCL5). Peroxisomal and mitochondrial MAVS act sequentially to create an antiviral cellular state. Upon viral infection, peroxisomal MAVS induces the rapid interferon-independent expression of defense factors that provide short-term protection, whereas mitochondrial MAVS activates an interferon-dependent signaling pathway with delayed kinetics, which amplifies and stabilizes the antiviral response. May activate the same pathways following detection of extracellular dsRNA by TLR3. May protect cells from apoptosis.

Hi Lorrie, I had a friend & group member send you a message. I tried to message you back, but it wouldn't send it. F.B. has blocked me from sending msgs. or F. requests. I have 8 days to go. It's silly, because I had sent a message to a long lost family member & they were out of town for 3 weeks, & didn't reply fast enough. So They blocked me for 14 days. Stupid automated F.B. Anyway hon, I got your message, but since it is a closed & private group, I can't add anyone unless they are on my friends list, or by e-mail. If you don't mind, send me a f. request, so I can add you. I think you would enjoy the group. It helps me a lot, & there are several other Canadians there. Actually Jenny Sheppard, & Verna O'Sullivan (Mom & Daughter) are administrators with me. Jenny is going to be uploading some episodes of the show for us to watch. Anyway, I know this seems strange, but I will explain everything you want to know. It will be your page too, & you can invite or add anyone you want that you think might enjoy a support group. You can also add anything you want, post & comment, Give/receive support, vent and not be censored what so ever. The message Chris sent you probably is in your messages under "Other" since you are not friends on F.B. Just let me know what you want to do. If you don't enjoy it, you can always have the option to clicl on leave the group. We can even discuss OLTL! :) Thank you Lorrie. Sorry for the mix-up. Damn Facebook! lol ~ =D ~ your friend, Greg Hopkins ~

For various reasons, I'd like to get a trace of disk accesses on some Windows Server 2008 machines.
I can set up a user defined data collector set in the Reliability and Performance Monitor tool to create an event trace using the "Windows Kernel Trace" provider ("disk" suboption), and this works fine.
However, I really would like to automate this using the logman.exe command. The documentation on logman is, I'd say, sparse. (If there's some great documentation out there, I'd be very grateful for a pointer!) I've tried using both commands with the
-ets option and without, and using both the
logman create trace <name> <params>/
logman start <name> and the
logman start <name> <params> -ets method.
Nothing I've tried seems to work:
C:\>mkdir \tracedata
C:\>logman create trace DiskTr1 -p "Windows Kernel Trace" disk -o "C:\tracedata\DiskTr1"
The command completed successfully.
C:\>logman start DiskTr1
The session name provided is invalid.
C:\>logman start DiskTr2 -p "Windows Kernel Trace" disk -o "C:\tracedata\DiskTr2" -ets
The session name provided is invalid.
C:\>logman create trace DiskTr3 -p "Windows Kernel Trace" disk -o "C:\tracedata\DiskTr3" -ets
The session name provided is invalid.
I've also tried variants using the GUID for the provider and a hex value for the
disk suboption, and so far nothing seems to work.

IDEO Eyes Open: New York
by Fred Dust
New York, New York—the muse to many a musician, poet and writer; the Mecca for tourists and traders alike; the metropolis of metropolises. So vast is this city, and so deep and complex are its dynamics, that there's not a guide book out there that could possibly encompass everything the Big Apple has to offer. Eyes Open New York, compiled by IDEO and Fred Dust, however, gets close to this in its own way. It covers 50 diverse, and sometimes obscure, experiences which embody the essence of the city. Dust and the IDEO team guide the reader through some of New York's best kept secrets. One example is Tsukushi, a tiny Japanese restaurant tucked away in Murray Hill, which has no menus, thereby leaving diners to the whims of the chef who decides what they will eat that night. In some of the other brightly colored pages with large photographs, readers are informed of a myriad of experiences that adorn the city's canvas—such as people-watching on the steps at the Met or the ubiquitous storefront psychics dotting the boroughs and streets. Labeling itself "a field guide for the curious," Eyes Open New York succeeds in capturing the city in a unique and refreshing way. Should you be heading across the Atlantic, the Eyes Open team has also published a guidebook to London.

Physics is taught as a separate subject throughout the Senior School in Hamilton College. In S1 and S2 pupils complete an internally produced course which covers the relevant physics content for the Curriculum for Excellence, and for part of the National 4 Physics course. If they decide to continue in their study of the subject they can complete the National 4, National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher Physics courses as they progress through S3 - S6.
S1 & S2 Physics
In S1 and S2 all pupils complete physics as a separate science subject. The internally produced course that they complete covers the relevant physics content for the Curriculum for Excellence, and for part of the National 4 Physics course.
National 4/5 Physics
Physics gives us an insight into the underlying nature of our world and its place in the universe. From the study of the electrical and heat energy that we use in our society, to the exploration of space, it covers a range of applications of the relationships that have been discovered through experiment and calculation, including those used in modern technology. Advances in physics mean that our view of what is possible is continually being updated. This course will allow you to understand the processes behind scientific advances, and to appreciate and contribute to topical scientific debate.
Skills and Knowledge
A broad overview of the subject skills, knowledge and understanding that will be covered in the course includes:
- demonstrating your knowledge of physics by making accurate statements
- applying your knowledge of physics to new situations, interpreting information and solving problems
- demonstrating your understanding of physics by providing explanations and by bringing together different areas of knowledge
- selecting relevant information from a variety of sources
- presenting information appropriately in a variety of forms
- processing information accurately, using calculations where appropriate
- planning, designing and carrying out experimental procedures to test hypotheses or to illustrate effects
- evaluating experimental procedures
- drawing valid conclusions and giving explanations supported by evidence or justification
- making predictions and generalisations based on evidence/information.
Learning and Teaching Methods
The course will be taught using various methods including whole class lessons, group work and individual investigation and research. A range of resources will be used including prepared notes, textbooks, video material and Moodle, our virtual learning environment. Practical tasks are teacher-demonstrated and undertaken in groups.
Careers Information
Physics is an important qualification if you intend to enter a career in engineering, physical science and some medical sciences. Furthermore, for many other career lines, it is a recommended course for study. These include such diverse fields as law, military service, accountancy and other non-physical sciences.
Higher Physics
The Higher Physics course is composed of four units entitled Our Dynamic Universe, Particles And Waves, Electricity and Researching Physics. The key underlying purposes of the Higher Physics course are to prepare candidates for employment or further studies in areas for which a strong understanding of physics is a key requirement, to improve the candidate's appreciation of the importance of physics to society and to develop their practical and mathematical skills. The promotion of other 'soft' skills such as the abilities to work collaboratively or to draw the correct conclusions when presented with scientific evidence is also very important.
Advanced Higher Physics
The Advanced Higher Physics course is composed of four units entitled Rotational Motion and Astrophysics, Quanta and Waves, Electromagnetism and Physics Investigation. The key underlying purposes of the Advanced Higher Physics are the same as those of the Higher Physics course. However there is a much greater emphasis on preparing candidates for further studies in subjects for which a strong knowledge and understanding of physics is necessary. As a result there is a significantly higher level of mathematical and practical skills required at Advanced Higher level than there was at Higher level in physics.

The Prime Time League (PTL) opened in North liberty on Thursday, June 30, two weeks later than normal.
Hawk fans got to see four of the new recruits and they were as good as advertised.
Starting with Tyler Cook, the 6-8, 240-pound big man was a four-star recruit coming out of St. Louis. He showed power, speed and a great presence around the basket.
Tyler is able to dunk with either hand and might be the best athlete Fran McCaffery has recruited.
The big guy finished with 27 points and eight rebounds in his first game.

Oil prices are nearing the widely perceived break-even point of $50 a barrel, but recovery also depends on where oil and gas assets are located.
It's still good portfolio insurance; as usual, oil is the front-page story in commodities.

This is similar to the template=extend, but I don't want the text next to a single thumbnail.
Is there a way to maybe have each gallery open on a separate page, so essentially I'm embedding the shortcode for the gallery on a page instead of the album? But linked off the album?
Hope this makes sense. I'm pretty sure the solution would involve custom programming the code.

WARREN CO, Ky. (WBKO) Jody Richards Elementary raised more money than any other Kentucky school in a state-wide fundraiser for the American Heart Association.
Several students helped raise money for the American Heart Association through three weeks of Jump Rope for Heart, which happens in every school across the nation.
"Students learn about jump rope skills. They learn about the benefits of exercise. They also learn about raising money for the American Heart Association to fight heart disease," said Joe Dan Cline, the P.E. teacher at the school.
Cline found out just a few weeks ago they had raised more than any other Kentucky school at $23,000.
"That's what makes our students so important. It makes me proud of what they are accomplishing to help give back to the American Heart Association and help them save lives," Cline said.
The teachers say it's an opportunity for students to learn about heart disease and how common it is.
"Most of the time I'll have more than half my students that know someone that's had a heart defect raise their hands. So that puts a personal connection to what they're earning money and going out and getting donations for," Cline said.
One student lost his sister to heart problems, which is why contributing to the association matters so much to him.
"My sister, right when she was born, she had a heart defect. So she had to go to the American Heart Association, and then she had to get her heart worked on. That's why I raised the most money," said Grant Biggerstaff, a fifth-grader.
He raised over $1,000, making him the top-earner at his school.
"A lot of times people tend to think, 'They're little -- they don't understand.' But they have a really big heart, and this is what they did. They showed they really care about people," said Michele McKinney, the cafeteria manager who nominated the students.
For coming together to help in the fight against heart disease, we honor Jody Richards Elementary as this week's Hometown Hero.

Product Description
Turn Signal Wiring for 1968 Mustangs without Tilt Steering.This wiring harness includes everything you need to properly wire your 68 non-tilt steering turn signal setup.
-Wiring harness
-Turn signal canceling cam
-Horn switch (built-in)
-Hazard switch (built-in)
Tech Tip from CJ Pony Service: The TSW5 has 12 wires and the factory plug only has 10 pin locations. The reason for this is the switch can be used on other 1968 Fords such as T-birds and Cougars with the extra 2 pins being used for sequential lights. The rest of the colors match up to the Mustang, the 2 oddball wires simply can be taped up and are not used.

Foe Suggests Giving Milosevic Immunity To Get Him to Quit
By STEVEN ERLANGER
Published: July 19, 1999
BELGRADE, Serbia, July 18— A leading Serbian opposition politician says the best way to get President Slobodan Milosevic of Yugoslavia out of power is to seduce him to resign, promising him immunity from arrest or extradition.
''What can I really do to force Milosevic to resign?'' the opposition figure, Vuk Draskovic, said today in an interview. ''But a transitional government is a way for him to exit.''
Mr. Draskovic said he would soon name a shadow Yugoslav government of experts led by a prime minister selected by Milo Djukanovic, the democratic leader of Montenegro, the small republic that with Serbia makes up Yugoslavia. Mr. Draskovic then plans to press Mr. Milosevic through public rallies to accept that government and call new elections in three to six months, while the opposition works to attract disaffected Milosevic supporters.
That is Mr. Draskovic's notion, at least. But others in the Serbian opposition think that now is the time to confront and oust Mr. Milosevic, not to succor him.
It is an example of how the opposition disagrees even on the core issues since Mr. Milosevic's defeat in Kosovo.
Despite prodding from senior American and European diplomats to adopt a united platform, senior opposition figures here remain intensely competitive. Their lack of unity makes it more likely that if Mr. Milosevic falls, it will be through a chaotic outpouring of discontent -- the kind of street violence that Mr. Draskovic and many other Serbs say they should avoid.
Mr. Draskovic's aides make clear that Mr. Milosevic could remain in power ''as a figurehead,'' with the idea that he would resign later. Mr. Draskovic says he has no intention of prosecuting Mr. Milosevic or turning him over to the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague, which in late May indicted Mr. Milosevic and four of his senior aides on charges of committing crimes against humanity in Kosovo.
''If we preach hatred and revenge, then we can't broaden our support,'' Mr. Draskovic said. ''Milosevic must accept when he realizes the majority of Serbia supports this program, but we can't have a majority without some Milosevic supporters, and we can't get them by promising them prison and hatred in advance.''
On Saturday in Kragujevac, at his first large street rally, Mr. Draskovic urged some 20,000 supporters to avoid violence and the dangers of civil war, and he urged all opposition figures to unite behind a program that Mr. Milosevic could accept.
Mr. Draskovic says he agrees with senior American officials that they must all agree on a common platform. But while many in the opposition lament the discord, they have not yet overcome it.
For example, the Alliance for Change, a grouping of opposition parties -- in particular the Democratic Party of a rival of Mr. Draskovic, Zoran Djindjic -- is calling for Mr. Milosevic to resign immediately, with a transitional government to be named then, without early elections.
Yet Slobodan Vuksanovic, the deputy chairman of the Democratic Party, was pessimistic today. ''Everyone knows everything about the Milosevic regime,'' he said, ''and we've just lost Kosovo, and the saddest part is the opposition leaders.
''They know what we all know: that no one can beat the Milosevic regime alone, and that if they are not united, Milosevic will stay in power. Milosevic won't resign without pressure from the streets, and people won't come out into the streets unless they see a united opposition. And the leaders don't seem to care.''
Mr. Vuksanovic is most upset with the convolutions of Mr. Draskovic, who has now belatedly decided to stage street rallies and was a member of Mr. Milosevic's Government for much of the Kosovo war. But he did not exclude his own party's leader, Mr. Djindjic, from his criticism, or the other leaders of the small opposition parties in the Alliance for Change.
Before an important Alliance rally in the central Serbian town of Kraljevo, Mr. Vuksanovic said, ''the leaders sat around like at a funeral, and they competed with each other over who will make the first speech and the last.'' Nor did they brief each other on what they would say.
The Democratic Party itself is divided over whether a new government would hand Mr. Milosevic over for trial in The Hague.
Mr. Djindjic has said in interviews that he would hand over Mr. Milosevic. Mr. Vuksanovic says that is Mr. Djindjic's opinion but not party policy, and that he himself would put Mr. Milosevic on trial at home.
Mr. Draskovic would not do anything to Mr. Milosevic, but leave him in peace so long as he resigns, and says that the indictment in The Hague ''was very political and very stupid,'' making his ouster harder.
Mr. Milosevic, of course, is likely to trust none of the opposition's options. Officials close to Mr. Draskovic argue that the indictment leaves Mr. Milosevic has little alternative to fighting for his survival in office and to reject resignation unless he gets firm guarantees for his safety and that of his family.
The American diplomat Robert S. Gelbard has met all key opposition leaders and urged them to unite on a joint platform, and they say they are trying. But Mr. Vuksanovic said, ''Mr. Gelbard will get a Nobel Prize if he gets a united opposition.''

Need some help deciding
I am interested in a 60" or smaller wingspan moldie. Looking for a fast, quick roll rate fun flying plane in a smaller package. Most likely will not DS it. I was looking at the Sunbird carbon, Mini Blade carbon, Fredy carbon, or maybe even an Ocelot carbon, but that one is getting a tad expensive. I really like the looks of the Mini Blade and the Sunbird looks fun, but I am wanting some advice from people who have owned them, or know how good or bad a plane might be.
One of the main reasons of the Sunbird, is because I got into a mid air with my Minivec last weekend and I need a new Fuse and tail halves. If I order them it is an additional $95 to ship, but if I order a plane with the fuse that I need, it is free shipping , so I thought I might take advantage of that.
Just need help on making a decision wether I should bite the bullet and pay the extra $95 shipping or buy a better 60" than the Sunbird.
Thank you!
I've had the Sunbird carbon and Ocelot carbon. I like the way the Sunbird flies a lot better, but the roll rate is definitely lower than that of the Minivec. All around, the Sunbird is a very nice airplane, and a much easier and faster build than the Minivec.
The Baudis Banana is a great plane and in the same price range. I've owned two over the years, excellent flight performance and, importantly, build quality.
Having owned a few Baudis planes - a glass Banana, a carbon Banana, a Wasabi, and a 2.5m Discus - and seen plenty more, I'd say the production quality is an order of magnitude better than any of the RCRCM stuff I've seen, which includes a Minivec, Vector III and Dorado.
To date, every single RCRCM plane I've seen in person has had some really shoddy and outright sketchy stuff. Some you can fix - some, you'll never know about till it's too late.
Case in point: Big Gas blew up his Sunbird in the air this past weekend DSing at the Ruins at relatively low speed - like maybe 150, although it wasn't radared and that would be a *really* high speed for the Ruins - so I'm guessing it was less. That's pretty ridiculous for a 60" plane in this day and age, to be honest. "No thank you!!"
It's really a shame because James's designs are great, otherwise.
Just MHO,
A 60" should be a cheaper model IMO, (a cheapy but goody): flying fish, a.k.a. Genesis on your side of the pond... No rudder but others add them easily enough if it's a deal breaker, comes one or two piece wing, with/without flaps as required. Very quick too
Happy stick waggling whatever you take
James' design is solid, no doubt. His design had no focus on DS, and 150mph (or so) on the backside with all the attendant turbulence and dynamic wing loading, would certainly be out of its design range. Not surprising it folded, but one always hopes it wont (as far as un-proven and/or unintended DS ships). The Typhoon is the same, great flyer, not for DS.
The quality one finds from RCRCM is fine, given the price. My Minivec is fantastic, I would buy a Sunbird without reservation, as you mentioned not likely to be DS'ing with it.
my 2c - buy a cheep n cheerful Speedo to keep you in the air while you fix up the damage on the Minivec - good fun little plane & surprisingly agile & speedy - I would rather have a Speedo than waste $95 on postage
I'd also rather have a Speedo than a 60incher anyway - theres used bigger planes out there for new 60inch money, and 60inchers typically have one piece wings, so they are no easier to carry than the bigger ships
Yes a Voltij. I know. LOL. I agree 100%. But i still would like a 60". I have a friend that made a 48" Jart molded and it looks so fun to fly. No, he will not make me one. So i was looking for something smaller and close to the same. The Speedo 1.4m does come now in a moldie form from Skip Miller i think? It runs $175 but glass only. 2 piece wings even. Hmmm.
Baduis banana huh? Let me check.
When you say shipping is 95 bucks im guessing your ordering from olerc. i was looking at sunbirds there and dont know why anyone would order from them. soaring usa has almost the same prices, great service and in the same state as you and I. Have you contacted them for replacement parts?
In all fairness the sunbird that blew up a wing (1) had been stuffed due to the previous owners radio having problems, nose had to be rebuilt and boom broken too. The weekend before he came up, while flying little mountain he had to do a field fix with gorilla ca when the trailing edge started to open up, he would of repared it the same way home. it was on the wing that popped. He is looking for another wing, as I recall he said its one of the best 60" he's owned. He has owned or flown most of them.
Speedo's do fly great but there are better out there, maybe not for the price. i will prob always have one ready to fly.
Genesis are great fliers too! Easy to build as they have more room in fuze and wing compared to some of the other popular 60".
Ps the stinger 45 for $300 rtf in classified is also an amazing plane

More Local Outfits Seek IPOs as Market Improves
Even as some Silicon Valley companies such as Facebook Inc. raise capital that enables them to stay private for longer, other Bay Area companies haven't held back from going public.
In 2010, the region enjoyed one of its strongest slates of initial public offerings for years. A total of 15 local companies backed by venture capital went public last year, up from two Bay Area companies in 2009 and only one in 2008, according to new data from research firm VentureSource. It was the strongest year of local IPOs since 2007, when 21 Bay Area venture-backed companies went public, according to VentureSource.
Among the Bay Area companies that went public last year were biomedical company Pacific Biosciences of California Inc. in Menlo Park and electric car maker Tesla Motors Inc. in Palo Alto. In total, all of the local companies raised nearly $1.3 billion in IPO proceeds, up from just $103.7 million in 2009 and $54 million in 2008, according to VentureSource.
"Last year was a tremendously healthy IPO market," says Lise Buyer of Class V Group, which helps Silicon Valley start-ups and others navigate the IPO process.
The stronger showing comes even as some local Web companies with huge numbers of users and fast-growing revenue such as Facebook and social-gaming company Zynga Inc. have said they are in no hurry to go public. Facebook recently raised $500 million in funding from Goldman Sachs and Russian investors Digital Sky Technologies, building up a war chest that allows the Palo Alto start-up to stay private for a while longer yet.
Yet for many other Silicon Valley companies in non-Internet sectors, an IPO is still the best way to raise capital for acquisitions and other operations. That drove some of the IPO push last year, say venture capitalists, with some closely held concerns that were able to grow through the recession pulling the trigger on an IPO in 2010 once the public markets settled.
Ms. Buyer adds that the improved 2010 IPO market also was fueled by investors' larger appetite for new issuances, now that memories of the 2008 market meltdown have somewhat abated.
The rebound in IPO activity raises the specter for some of a return to market excess. But Bill Gurley, a venture capitalist at Benchmark Capital, says he isn't worried about unwarranted enthusiasm in the IPO market as much as froth in the buying and selling of private-company shares. "It's froth with risk," he says.
This year, some local venture capitalists say they expect an even better IPO showing. Tim Draper of venture firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson says 2011 will be a "great year" for IPOs. That's because many start-ups that had only $20 million to $30 million in revenue five or six years ago had "put their head back down," he says. Those companies have now grown "to $100 million or $200 million in revenue and can afford to go public," he says.

Hi, I'm relatively new to WordPress, and I was looking for a plugin that will allow me to embed information about location in a hyperlink/button, in a blog post (or in a widget), that when clicked, will open up a small pop-up that displays more detailed information about said location (pictures, et cetera).
It doesn't have to do exactly what is specified, but something along the lines of that. Is there any existing plugin that can do that?
Thanks in advance :)

Leeks With Olives and Feta
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 12 mins
A highly flavoursome low calorie vegetable dish which is ideal for a Greek-style meal, served with other salads, warm pita bread or warm crusty bread and an assortment of dips. A great dish if you love leeks! This recipe has been adapted from an International Master '1001 recipes for pan or wok' card and has been posted for the 2005 Zaar World Tour. I use my Vegetable Stock when making this recipe. The preparation and cooking times below do not include the time needed for cooling and chilling.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 roma tomatoes
- 8 leeks
- 4 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 150 ml vegetable stock
- salt, to taste
- fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- 50 g kalamata olives, pitted
- 100 g feta cheese
- 1 sprig fresh flat-leaf parsley, to garnish
- 1⁄2 lemon, cut in wedges to garnish
- Cut crosses in the tops of the tomatoes, then put them in a bowl, cover and soak for 1 minute in boiling water, drain and rinse in cold water, then remove skins roughly chop.
- Trim the leeks, wash thoroughly and pat the leaves dry with paper towelling, then cut into 2.5cm (1 inch) pieces. I find using the kitchen scissors is the quickest and easiest way to do this.
- Peel and crush the garlic, heat the oil in a pan or wok, preferably non-stick, and sauté the tomatoes and garlic for 2-3 minutes; then stir in the lemon juice, the leeks and the 150ml (5 fluid ounces) of vegetable stock and bring to the boil.
- Season the leek mixture and stir in the sugar, cover with a lid or foil and cook for 5 minutes, then remove the lid, give the leek mixture a stir and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the leeks are just tender and the liquid has evaporated.
- Transfer the leek mixture to a bowl, stir in the olives, cool it completely, then chill for 30 minutes. Crumble the feta, then stir it into the leek mixture. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges and serve.
- A fascinating fact about olive trees: Olive trees are extremely long-lived. The famous olive tree under which Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher sat in Athens is still growing! Two and a half thousand years later!

I don't like olives, so I didn't like this immediately. Hubby loved it. So I gave it three stars.
This was delish. I cut the recipe more then in half since it is just the two of us ( used two huge leeks and think the whole recipe would serve more then the 4 stated. I served it with fresh made pitas Pita Bread, tsatziki Tsatziki Sauce and souvakia Ila's Souvlakia I put it in the freezer for a quick chill .

This is a delicious combination. I served it along with whole wheat flatbreads, hummus, chopped tomato salad, and broiled salmon. I could also imagine adding eggplant to this mixture. Thanks for a delicious dish, bluemoon!

Does this plugin work with WP 3.5?

It does and it doesn't!
If you use the Chrome web browser it should definitely work. Firefox should be working but things like IE and even maybe Safari might still be having problems depending on if you have Flash installed etc.
Hopefully I will get this fixed in the next few days.
I've just pushed a new version up to the WordPress repository that should hopefully solve your problems. Let me know if that's not the case.
