October incident

The October incident (十月事件 Jūgatsu Jiken?), also known as the Imperial Colors incident (錦旗革命事件 Kinki Kakumei Jiken?), was an abortive coup d'état attempt in Japan, on 21 October 1931, launched by the Sakurakai secret society within the Imperial Japanese Army, aided by civilian ultranationalist groups.
Background and History[edit]
Having failed to replace the government with a totalitarian state socialist military dictatorship in the abortive coup d'état of the March Incident of March 1931, Lieutenant Colonel Kingoro Hashimoto of the Sakurakai and his ultranationalist civilian supporters, including Shūmei Ōkawa resolved to try again in October 1931.
Soon after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria by the Kwantung Army without prior authorization from the Imperial Japanese Army General Staff Office and over the ongoing objections of the Japanese civilian government, Captain Isamu Chō returned secretly to Japan (without orders) from North China to lead the plot to "prevent the government from squandering the fruits of our victory in Manchuria".[1] He was able to recruit the support of 120 members of the Sakurakai, ten companies of troops from the Imperial Guards and ten bomber aircraft from the Imperial Japanese Navy.
The main elements of the plot included:
- Key statesmen and officials such as Prime Minister Wakatsuki Reijirō, Grand Chamberlain Saitō Makoto, Prince Saionji Kinmochi, and Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal Makino Nobuaki, and Foreign Minister Kijūrō Shidehara were to be assassinated.
- The Imperial Palace, Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters, and other key government buildings were to be seized by troops loyal to the Sakurakai
- A new cabinet would be formed under the auspices of General Sadao Araki, chief of the radical Imperial Way Faction. The new government would ban political parties, and would consolidate the recent territorial gains of Japan in Manchuria.
- The Emperor would be forced to accept this Shōwa Restoration even if under threat of physical violence [1]
However, younger elements within the conspiracy came to doubt their leaders and seceded from the plot. In addition there were leaks which reached War Minister, General Jirō Minami. The latter requested General Sadao Araki to pacify the malcontents. Araki there upon attempted to reason with Hashimoto and Chō, but they refused to abandon their scheme and Araki had them arrested by the Kempeitai on 17 October 1931.
The punishments for this abortive coup were even milder than for the previous the March Incident, as General Minami publicly excused the plot as simply an excess of patriotic zeal. Hashimoto was sentenced to 20 days house arrest, Chō to 10 days, and the other ringleaders were simply transferred.
The October Incident, also known as the "Imperial Colors Incident" thus ended in apparent failure, and resulted in the dissolution of the Sakurakai. However, the lightness of the punishments only encouraged more attempted military intervention in the government, cumulating with the February 26 Incident of 1936.[2]

We caught up with State Attorney General, Troy King today to get his latest thoughts about the bingo controversy.
King says he thinks there should be some sort of legislation that will allow Alabama voters to decide whether or not electronic bingo is legal.
"People should be allowed to vote. This issue should be settled once and for all. We are going to have a vote in Alabama. There is no question about that. The question is who are we going to let vote? The governor and others believe that we should let 9 members of the Supreme Court tell people who should vote. I believe we ought to let the 4 million people who live in this State, and pay taxes, and who own this government, vote. I am just a conservative initiative and referendum Republican who trusts the people, and who believes the people should make this decision, and I am going to turn this over to them" said Attorney General Troy King, (R)Alabama
For years, the Attorney General has brought a piece of legislation to the floor regarding electronic bingo. He says that he plans to do it again during this legislative session.

Please Support the Waldorf Fund
Tuition only covers a portion of the cost of a Waldorf education. As an independent school, we design our own programs and curriculum, operate without federal or state support, and are self-governed. Tucson Waldorf School relies on philanthropy to fulfill our mission and cover the gap in operating expenses. Help to cover the gap so we can grow as a school.
Goals: $70,000 and 100% participation
The Tucson Waldorf School Annual Fund is designed to provide support for teacher's salaries, operational costs, pedagogical materials and professional development opportunities for the faculty.
"We have much more power than perhaps we realize to direct our financial resources in ways that support, empower, and express what we believe in. It takes courage to direct the flow, but with each choice we invest in the world as we envision it." – Lynne Twist
Tucson Waldorf School welcomes gifts of all types:
- Cash – Consider making a monthly pledge – please call 520.529.1032 to set this up in a matter of minutes. Gifts of cash, check, or credit card are warmly welcome. You may securely make your donation online.

In return, you receive both an annual income from the assets you use to fund the trust and an immediate tax deduction. A charitable lead trust works the opposite way.

Customer Finds
Location: Washington
Metal Detector Used: M-Series (NONE)
White's Electronics
I've had my MXT Pro for almost two months, now, but was a little timid about taking it out. I've been reading as much as I can on the forums and watching videos to learn about my new machine. My son-in-law has been frothing at the mouth and asking at every opportunity if we could try metal detecting. I had to go to his house to help install a new toilet so thought that might be the best time to give it a go. I packed up the MXT Pro along with my Coinmaster TR, some digging tools and an apron. I figured after the installation maybe we would have time to search the yard of their 1930's house, probably for the first time. I must admit, I was somewhat excited at what might be laying under the ground all these years.
We started out each with a detector, him with the Coinmaster TR and me with the MXT Pro. Soon, however, we were sharing the MXT Pro and taking turns detecting and digging. Although I had it set to all the presets, just to learn a little about it, he wanted to dig every signal. So, dig we did. I think a shade-tree mechanic must have lived in their house before them. We found all manner of nuts, bolts, washers, spark plugs, small tools, and all kinds of junk.
As we went, I started paying more attention to what the MXT Pro was telling me. The VDI numbers, depth, tone, etc. Soon, I could call out exactly what was in the hole before digging. We did not find any spectacular treasures, but did begin to find coins, which is what we were looking for. All in all we found 12 memorial cents, one wheat cent, one quarter and a couple oddities. One was a token for a place called Ellwest Jolar. It is marked on one side with "Heads I Win" and "Toy Gift" and on the other side with "Tails I Lose" and "Ellwest Jolar Amusement Centers." It's about the size of a quarter and seems to be brass. The other odd item was what turned out to be a "blazer button" but after watching so many videos of those that have searched Civil War sites, for a minute there I thought we had found a significant find from the period! It is a two piece button with the back missing. It is inscribed in Latin with something that means "We put our trust in God." Pretty cool!
I know none of these are significant, but the excitement generated, and my new found ability to tell what kind of coin was down there, has made me much more willing to take the MXT Pro out and get it dirty! Besides, my son-in-law is so excited, even to find the junk, I think we are going to make great hunting partners.
Can't wait until our next outing! Thanks, White's, for making great machines that are easy to learn and use!Phil (WA)

my question relates to how to log users into LinkedIn (SP) automatically from a company web portal that I am making. (As opposed to how to authenticate user on my website using linked in as the IdP).
I need my website users to be able to configure their LinkedIn account username and be automatically logged in to LinkedIn when they click the LinkedIn icon. I achieved this with Sales Force by use of an uploaded certificate and a SAML token and ideally would be able to use a similar approach with LinkedIn.
Is this possible? Has anyone else managed to achieve this and what is the best approach?

« Tragedy | Main | Shorter Ann Coulter Argument »
June 07, 2006
Another Ann Coulter Controversy
Recapped. Her key quote:
âThese self-obsessed women seem genuinely unaware that 9-11 was an attack on our nation and acted like as if the terrorist attack only happened to them. They believe the entire country was required to marinate in their exquisite personal agony. Apparently, denouncing bush was part of the closure process.â
I think that was a quote read to her on the Today show, not a quote she made spontaneously on the show itself.
What exactly is she advancing with such nastiness? Is she actually advancing the conservative cause, or only her own?
I agree with Rick Moran here:
She has descended into a black hole of necessity from which there is no escape; where she is forced to please her rabid base of red meat conservatives usually by going beyond the bounds of decency and proper public discourse in order to make a point that could have been made without resorting to the kind of hurtful, hateful, personal attacks that have become a hallmark of her war with liberals.
Thats about says it. There's funny Ann, there's snide Ann, there's take-no-prisoners Ann. Sometimes there's Insightful Ann or Scholarly Ann. And then, on occasion, there is either Insane Ann or Let Me Create Controversy Just To Peddle Books Ann.
Allah has stuff on this too, including Moran's sum-up of Coulter, which I think is a bit over the top:
a shallow, bitter, bitch of a woman whose hate filled mouthings will eventually lead to her destruction
The sad thing is I'm not sure I disagree strenuously with any of that. I just would prefer it not be said.
Captain Ed makes the necessary comparison between Coulter yesterday and Ted Rall three years ago, making the same basic attack in his cartoon "Terror Widows," back when it was assumed that all "Terror Widows" would be war-supporters. If it was wrong for Ted Rall to make that attack against Terror Widows who were inconvenient emotional supports for a position he was against, isn't it also wrong for Coulter to do the same?
There's actually no question that Coulter has, as Rall had then, the basics of a point. There's no problem with noting that these women -- on both sides of the debate -- have not been certified as foreign policy or military or intelligence experts simply due to tragedy, nor are they entitled to get everything they might want in life. Don't get me started on many of the widows believing they have a right to have Ground Zero remain an undeveloped bit of park-space and cenotaph of trees in the heart of Manhattan's financial district.
But this nastiness is uncalled for. Even if something is actually felt deep inside -- even if you're filled with toxic hatred for very annoying, very presumptuous, very left-leaning women with an overweening sense of entitlement -- most people would find less abrasive ways to express such an emotion.
Does that mean that Ann is just more honest than us "nancy boys"?
Not really. A lot of the time the excuse of "I was just being honest" is just a code for "I'm basically an inconsiderate asshole who cannot be bothered to modify my behavior in even the slightest fashion in order to observe basic conventions of social decency."

A modest storm cruising through the South now will take a left turn along the Atlantic Seaboard and will "bomb out" into a lingering, raging blizzard for northern New England and the St. Lawrence Valley for part of the New Year weekend.
The worst of the snow will hit areas from northern New York to northern Maine, New Brunswick and part of southern Quebec. While these areas tend to get hit with multiple storms during a typical winter, this will be the first "biggie" of the season.
Deep snowdrifts and ongoing blowing snow may cause some roads to close in the area.
As the "New Year Blizzard" rages in the north Friday night and Saturday, strong winds over southern New England and the mid-Atlantic will usher in brutally cold air.
The strong winds can knock down large tree limbs and cut the power in some communities from Portland and Caribou, Maine, to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Pa., to Richmond and Roanoke, Va.
The strong 40- to 60-mph cross winds will lead to hazards for motorists and delays at major and secondary airports in the Northeast.
In addition to the wind, the storm's back side can also trigger locally heavy, blinding snow showers adding to highway travel problems Saturday and Sunday right to the coastal cities.
The storm's less potent front-end will also cause its share of travel problems as an intermittent wintry mix slickens some area roads and up to several inches of snow blankets others from the Virginias to Maine and part of Atlantic Canada from New Year's Eve into New Year's Day.

Hurricane Isaac is lashing Southeast Louisiana, including New Orleans. Torrential rain and strong winds are also battering Coastal Mississippi and Alabama.
Authorities say a storm surge driven by Isaac pushed water over the top of an 18-mile stretch of levee in a thinly populated part of Plaquemines Parish.
The levee is one of many in the low-lying coastal zone. It is not part of New Orleans' defenses.
Plaquemines officials believe some people may be trapped in their homes by the flood but they are not sure how many might still be in the area. Strong wind was hampering rescue efforts.
The massive storm spans nearly 200 miles and has maximum sustained winds of 75mph near its center.
Meteorologist Branden Borremans says, Isaac will take a while to loosen its grip on the Gulf Coast. Branden says the slow movement and track along the coast will keep flooding a major concern in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
Up to 20" of rain will be possible through Friday in Southeast Louisiana (including New Orleans) and Southern Mississippi. A few spots might even pick up more than 20" of rain! When it's all said and done, many areas will have seen more rain from Isaac than from Katrina in 2005. However, storm surge flooding with this storm will fall well short of levels reached by Katrina.
Conditions will GRADUALLY improve over this area Thursday and Friday, as Isaac weakens and slowly pulls to the north.

Broadway luminary and Disney princess Lea Salonga to perform her first Utah concert
BYU Arts
PROVO — If the name Lea Salonga is not immediately recognized, the characters she has played in much-lauded productions will be very familiar:
Jasmine in "Aladdin." Cinderella in "Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella." Mei-Li in "Flower Drum Song." Fa-Mulan in "Mulan." Tuptim in "The King and I." Eponine in the 10th-anniversary and Fantine in the 25th-anniversary production of "Les Miserables." And Kim in "Miss Saigon," for which, at age 17, she won every theater award on the planet.
She's also released 26 albums (with her first as a child). To promote her recent CD, Salonga has launched a worldwide tour that will include two dates at BYU's de Jong Concert Hall, her first performances in Utah. The Deseret News interviewed Salonga by phone from a Los Angeles hotel room while preparing for her travels that will extend into the new year.
While surrounded by helpful relatives and supervising her 5-year-old daughter getting dressed for the day ("The blue bow is fine," she calls out), Salonga was witty, self-deprecating, informative and, ultimately, completely charming.
"The Journey So Far" CD, taped live at New York's prestigious Cafe Carlyle cabaret venue, is "very personal, touching on my life as well as my career.
"I've been calling it a truncated resume of my life with music," she says. "It features Disney music and there's musical theater. There's Filipino music, because that's where I'm originally from. And there are also some standards. Some mash-ups that were clever. A lot of good stuff that I've never done before that I got to try out there."
Reviewing her performance, the New York Times said, "Salonga's bright, metallically edged voice is a shiny all-purpose instrument that confidently establishes its dominion over whatever musical setting surrounds it."
"I do try to avoid reading reviews," she says. "But sometimes when one comes out, like from the New York Times, then it's like, 'Oh, my gosh. This is crazy good.' My mother and I read that review together, and it just incredible."
Salonga explains her concert selections will include songs from "Journey So Far" along with "a few other things. I incorporate some pop into the mix. I try to keep the concerts light and fun."
But she is somehow able to interweave the light and fun with dramatic tragedy — because there will be songs from "the dead girls," as Salonga calls her famous roles with a laugh. "In 'Miss Saigon,' Kim dies on stage, and the same is true for the women I play in 'Les Miz.' I tell people, 'Yes, I play the dead girls.'"
Speaking of her roles in the landmark, longest-running musical, Salonga says "Fantine and Eponine are both very, very special roles. One of them was right for me to do in my 20s and the other one I did in my mid-30s. And you don't really get Fantine until you've lived and experienced, even if you can sing the songs. I believe that you don't understood parenthood until you have become a parent. You don't really know love until you've had a child.
"When I got to play Fantine, many years later after playing Eponine, it wrenched me dry. After the death, I'm just gone. Those couple of minutes when I'm lying down with my eyes closed, it's just such a relief that the part is over. I'm always in tears."
Like "Les Miz," Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg composed "Miss Saigon," and uber-producer Cameron Mackintosh conducted an exhaustive talent search for the lead role. Salonga, then a premed student with musical theater experience as a child in the Philippines, was chosen from more than 1,200 candidates to play the Vietnamese orphan in the searing update of "Madame Butterfly."

text: Ku Klux Klan Selma Leaders Give Up Land In Monument Lawsuit By The Associated Press • Jan 15, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org The protests of Selma residents weren't enough to keep city council from voting to give a one acre tract of land at a cemetery to a chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. The Selma Times-Journal reports that city leaders decided to relinquish control of the land in a 5-4 vote while residents protested during a meeting Tuesday. The vote ends a lawsuit that Virginia-based KTK Mining filed against the city after leaders revoked a building permit for a memorial to confederate general and former Ku Klux Klan member Nathan Bedford Forrest. Selma Marchers Oppose Honoring Civil War General By Ryan Vasquez • Sep 25, 2012 en.wikipedia.org More than 60 people have marched from the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge to Selma City Hall to protest a monument to a Civil War general being rebuilt in a Selma cemetery. The biracial group carried signs Tuesday and chanted, "No justice, no peace." Their leader, activist Rose Toure, said Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest was an early leader of the Ku Klux Klan. The marchers went to City Hall to ask the City Council to deny permission to rebuild the monument. A similar monument disappeared from the cemetery earlier this year.

I created a custom post type with a new taxonomy and i keep receiving "404-not found" errors. The taxonomy is called "specialists_expertise".
Any advice besides flushing your permalinks structure, which i tried like a million times with no results? :((
If i set the permalinks on "default" (URL/?p=123) it works like a charm, but once i choose a custom permalink structure the 404 error comes up.
I added new posts, created the taxonomy-specialists_expertise.php, but no luck.
I found quite a lot of references on the net or here on the forums about this issue, but 90% of them were solved when the permalink structure was flushed.
Please please pretty please, anyone has experienced this before? I'm going mad over here :((

I needed help to find out how to code the "never rate" button so what when it is pressed the UI Alert does not load everytime the app is loaded.
This is my code so far:
(void)viewDidLoad {
UIAlertView *alert;
alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Rate My Appication" message:@" Please Rate my Application and check out my other Apps"
delegate: self
cancelButtonTitle:@" Cancel "
otherButtonTitles: @" Rate Now ", @"Check Other Apps", @" Never Rate ", nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
(bool)alertView:(UIAlertView *)actionSheet clickedButtonAtIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex {
// Never Review Button
if (buttonIndex == 3)
// Review Button
else if (buttonIndex == 1)
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/calculator/id389197581?mt=8"]];
// Other Apps Button
else if (buttonIndex == 2)
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://itunes.com/apps/2headsolutions"]];

Cliff Brittle
Benjamin Clifford "Cliff" Brittle (circa 1942 – 11 September 2011) was an English business man and former rugby union player who was the chairman of the Rugby Football Union from 1996 to 1998.
Rugby career[edit]
Brittle first played rugby as a student while at Longton High School, and as a senior played for Old Longtonians, Stoke-on-Trent and most notably for Sale.[1] He also played county rugby for Staffordshire.In 1996 he took the post of Chairman of the Rugby Football Union, the year after the game of rugby union adopted professionalism. In his role of Chairman, Brittle appointed Fran Cotton as vice-chairman who in turn recommended Clive Woodward as England head coach.[2] Brittle's time in office was turbulent; he resisted attempts by club owners and the media to overpay players in a rushed attempt to cash in on the professional era. This caused Brittle to be vilified by sections of the media, and in 1998 Cotton resigned when Brittle was excluded from talks between the English clubs and the RFU.[3]

Rated 5 out of 5�by Sta4 Very comfortable and warm. Very good and durable product. Most socks slide down in boots and these dont. October 13, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by kerbear Worst socks I have ever bought! I bought these socks the day before school started and I have already returned them. Yes that's right I said I returned them! They were $19.00 for 4 pairs of socks and my son put a hole in two pairs of them the very first time he wore them. They thought that maybe my son pulled them apart causing the plastic piece holding them together to cause a small rip in the socks to begin with. I told the sales lady that I used scissors to cut them apart. I was the craziest thing so I took them back and got my money back. He has had under armour socks in the past that have never done this.

I just got wordpress running on 000webhost.com and everything went fine, I installed a former version of wordpress though. I even modified the background and header already. Then I decided to upgrade my current wordpress version to the newest one, and ever since that I can't access my site anymore, neither the admin panel, nor anything else.
My site: http://bfmenews.comuv.com/
I don't know if this problem is caused by wordpress or 000webhost.com. I'm sorry if this here is the wrong place, in that case please tell me where to go.

Please consider > this change to be included in a future release. The idea is that if the user has already specified one or more functions called new/_, it means he has taken the responsibility for that part of the interface, and should call 'instance/N' himself, from at least one of these new-functions. This makes it possible to have a set of exported new-functions that do not include new/N. With your patch, the compiler would always insert new/N if you omit it, unless you also add some new compiler flag to suppress this - and I find that a worse solution. A concrete example: with the current behaviour, you can have a module such as: -module(m,[Ref,X,Y]). -export([new/1, new/2, get/0]). new(X) -> new(X, 0). new(X, Y) -> instance(make_ref(),X,Y). get() -> {X, Y, Ref}. where 1) the module is actually abstracted over an extra variable that you don't see in the interface functions (there is no new/3), and 2) the order of the parameters to the new-functions is different from that of instance/N (though I can't think of an example of when that would be useful). /Richard

KOLKATA -- The Todi family, co-promoters of Kolkata-based non-banking finance company Magma Fincorp Ltd., announced that it had sold its 5.62% stake to the other promoters of the firm -- Mayank Poddar, Sanjay Chamria and their associates.
Mr. Poddar is the firm's chairman and Mr. Chamria its vice-chairman and managing director.
Earlier this week, Magma announced a deal to raise 4.40 billion rupees ($97 million) from the sale of shares to a private equity fund run by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and Co. LP and the International Finance Corp.
Magma, which had assets worth 109 billion rupees on its balance sheet at the end of March, is one of the leading retail asset finance companies in India.
It sold shares to private equity investors for 88 rupees apiece—18% higher than its current market price of 74.50 rupees. At Friday's closing price, the Todi family's stake in Magma is worth around 550 million rupees. They did not disclose the price at which they sold their shares.
The Todi family got shares in Magma when in August 2006 a non-banking finance company founded by them, Shrachi Infrastructure Finance Ltd., was merged with Magma.
S.K. Todi, Shrachi's erstwhile chairman, was appointed non-executive vice-chairman of Magma, and his son Ravi Todi its joint managing director. At that time, the Todi family held 8.2% of Magma's shares; their stake got diluted through subsequent share sales.
After Shrachi's integration with Magma, the Todis have decided to focus on their Shrachi group with interests in real estate, healthcare, farm equipment and engineering, Magma said in a statement. Both Messrs. S.K. Todi and Ravi Todi announced they had resigned from Magma's board.
"The merger… has significantly contributed to Magma's robust growth in the recent past," Mr. Chamria said in a statement.

If you've got a concept to improve your neighborhood, Athens-Clarke police may have the money you need to get it going.
The Police Department is asking people who have a good idea for a community program within the county's designated ''Weed and Seed'' area to apply for a grant from a pool of $175,000 in federal funding.
Police are also encouraging those interested in small business loans or street block grants within the area to give them a call.
The ''Weed and Seed'' area encompasses 4.4 miles, including East Athens, Northeast Athens, Newtown and Boulevard/Buena Vista, plus one small community to the east, Spring Valley/Woodridge.
Administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, the federal grant program funds police overtime and resources to ''weed'' out the criminal element and pays for community programs that plant ''seeds'' of revitalization in a neighborhood.
Weed and Seed has been in place in Athens since 1998. In 1998-99, Athens-Clarke police distributed or spent $250,000 from the program, and in 1999-2000, they received $175,000. The department will be making application for the third year of funding, an additional $175,000 for 2000-2001.
The uses of the money are varied. Weed and Seed money has funded scholarships for Boys and Girls Club memberships and summer school tuitions. It has also been used to pay teens for part-time work and provide mentors for at-risk adolescent girls, and to fund leadership seminars at the University of Georgia's Fanning Leadership Institute for community members.
Lt. Carter Greene, Weed and Seed coordinator for Athens-Clarke police, said plans for a ''gun stoppers'' program are underway. Police will either offer to pay rewards for tips on handguns on the streets, or could initiate a gun buyback program.
''Any person who wants to apply for a grant for use in the Weed and Seed site can make an application to us,'' Greene said. ''We wanted to fund those programs in the site area (that residents) would like to see. We don't want to dictate what the programs should be; we want them to tell us what they would like to see.''
Applicants for grants should compile a written proposal and budget estimates. The deadline for applications is Friday.
Katie Jones, neighborhood service officer for Athens-Clarke police, said grants for community programs can range from $5,000 to $25,000.
''If they have something in mind and they're not sure they meet the criteria, I'll be glad to discuss it with them,'' Jones said.
Greene said applicants should be intent on ''community revitalization and (having) something that's going to add to the site area in some way.''
Those interested in applying for Weed and Seed grants should contact Jones at (706) 613-3330, ext. 250.
