Pretty Penny has lots of big ideas. For instance, she wants to throw a birthday party for her grandmother, Bunny, but there is only one problem she doesn't have any money What's a creative, industrious girl to do? When Penny notices that Bunny's attic is cluttered with old things that still have value, Penny has an idea create a "Small Mall " Penny will have to clean up and set up shop in the attic to sell the old items to earn the money for Bunny's surprise celebration. Author/illustrator Devon Kinch has created a charming, stylish character with a signature look, just like such classic children's book characters as Madeline, Eloise, Pippi Longstocking, and Olivia Penny is never without her fuschia purse With Pretty Penny's help, kids can get money savvy
Praise For…
"The options for finding additional — or any — income can be difficult whether you are 6 or 66. But, of course, Penny figures out a way. (If you have ever held a garage sale or sold some superfluous items on eBay, you'll instantly understand the solution.) And the takeaway message that even 6-year-olds will understand is that if you want something — like having a birthday party for Grandma — you need to figure out a way to pay the bill." - The New York Times
"Kinch provides readers with plenty of chat about money and where it comes from ('Bunny owns this yellow building from top to bottom. She... rents out three tidy apartments to neighbors'), polished spreads that include spots crammed with hats, shoes, and other consumer treats; and the occasional moral lesson ('This is not my money--it belongs to Bunny'). This is an honest acknowledgment of the centrality of money in the lives of many young girls, and an attempt to tame and direct it." - Publishers Weekly
"To my surprise, my daughter has asked me to read Pretty Penny to her every night for the past two weeks. At first we just talked about the book's cute pets — a lazy pig named Iggy and a sneaky cat Bo — but then one evening it dawned on my little girl that this story is about a rummage sale. Completely out of the blue, my daughter wanted to know how to read price tags and why some items at a store cost more than others. She even asked how to count coins and bills, something I've been trying to explain to her for ages. It turns out that the discussion we had is exactly what Devon Kinch, the author, was trying to accomplish with her tale...A good conversation starter for mothers and fathers who are having trouble finding a way to engage their kids in financial lessons." - Family Finance (CBS Moneywatch blog)

text: NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty (NYSE:BPT) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat weak growth in earnings per share.

Google announces a Maps app for the iPad
An Android app is also on the way
INTERNET GIANT Google announced on Wednesday that it will release a Google Maps app for the Apple iPad that will be available this summer.
Unveiled at Google's busy I/O conference in San Francisco, Google Maps for the iPad sees the firm optimizing the application to fill the screen of the Apple tablet.
The Google Maps iPad app will feature a completely reworked user interface, designed to make features such as navigation and public transport directions easier to use. Google Maps for the iPad will also feature improved search tools, and the firm claims it will be much smoother than previous apps.
As well as Google Maps for the iPad, Google showed off a sneak peek at the next version of Maps for its Android operating system. From what we could see it looks a lot like the firm's iPhone app, albeit with improved search features and smoother graphics. The upcoming Android Google Maps app will also have an enhanced rating feature, which Google said will make it easier to find good restaurants.
Google Maps for the desktop will also see a major design overhaul this year. As well as taking the updated search and ratings feature from Google's updated mobile apps, the firm said it will enhance directions on the web, adding features such as accidents, road works and dynamic rerouting.
Another new feature, albeit less practical, is the addition of Google Earth to the web. Users will be able to zoom out of Google Maps to be presented with an image of the earth in real time.
Google's updated Maps for desktop is presently available only in beta, although users can register to preview it. The firm's refreshed mobile apps will be made available later this year. µ

Here are seven notes and observations in the AFC North:
Early projections have the Green Bay Packers favored by approximately a field goal over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. Expect this to be motivation over the next two weeks for Pittsburgh, which traditionally thrives in the underdog role. I'm a little surprised Pittsburgh will head to Arlington, Texas, as the underdog despite being No. 2 seed. The Packers are playing well as a No. 6 seed, but I think these are two evenly-matched teams. Pittsburgh (14-4) also has been more consistent than Green Bay (13-6) over the course of the season.
On Sunday ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter reported Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau's contract expires after the season. This may present a scenario where the Hall of Famer coaches his last game in the Super Bowl. LeBeau, 73, said three seasons ago after turning 70 that he's coaching on a year-to-year basis. There was speculation he could retire after Pittsburgh's previous Super Bowl win following the 2008 season. That likely will start up again next week in Arlington. Expect this call to be totally up to LeBeau, who has been the NFL's top defensive coordinator for a long time and may take some time in the offseason to make his decision. LeBeau loves coaching his current group, and Pittsburgh will re-sign him to an extension in a heartbeat if LeBeau wants to continue coaching. Also, don't believe the hype linking LeBeau to Arizona. That's a pipe dream, at best.
Here is an interesting note: The Dallas Morning News reports Cowboys legend Roger Staubach will present the Lombardi Trophy to the winning team following Super Bowl XLV. It's well-documented that the Hall of Fame quarterback had heated rivalries with Pittsburgh in the 1970s, including two Super Bowl losses in '76 and '79. It's already gut-wrenching enough that Pittsburgh, which owns one more Super Bowl title (six) than Dallas (five), can extend that lead on the Cowboys' home turf with a win over the Packers. But for Staubach to potentially hand over another championship to a team he loathed in his playing days would make for another awkward moment for the Cowboys organization.
In non-Super Bowl news, quarterback Carson Palmer made big headlines by requesting a trade from the Cincinnati Bengals. Team owner Mike Brown responded by saying he's not going to trade Palmer, which creates an interesting offseason standoff. But you also have to wonder how badly things really are behind the scenes in Cincinnati if Palmer wants out. Palmer is one of the nicest, most honest and optimistic players I've been around in seven seasons covering the NFL. Even when the Bengals have awful years, Palmer is the one player who remains positive that things will get better. But every player has a breaking point and it appears Palmer, 31, has reached his. Cincinnati has yet to make any significant changes that were thought to be in the works after a 4-12 season, and you wonder if Palmer sees where things are heading.
But ... let's say Bengals ownership caves in to Palmer's demands. Let's look ahead to what type of trade value Palmer would have on the open market. For starters, he's not the same Pro Bowl quarterback he once was, but Palmer remains a better option than a lot of players. The contract could be an issue, as Palmer is slated to be one of the NFL's highest-paid players at $11.5 million next season. I also think it hurts Cincinnati's leverage that it's now public that Palmer is unhappy and wants out. All things considered, I think the Bengals may be able land a second-round pick and perhaps another late-round pick for Palmer.
The Cleveland Browns are still suffering for their poor draft in 2009. That's one key reason the team remains in rebuilding mode. Last week I talked to an NFL scout about Cleveland's three second-round picks. The scout said they had a late-round grade on linebacker David Veikune, who was released by the Browns this season, and Brian Robiskie was described as a receiver who can't separate and has a low ceiling. The scout did believe Mohamed Massaquoi could be productive in the right situation and the right system. But Cleveland's lack of offensive identity isn't helping Massaquoi develop.
The Baltimore Ravens' quick work to get kicker Billy Cundiff signed to a five-year extension is a good sign. The Ravens have several big free agents, including defensive lineman Haloti Ngata and punter Sam Koch, and they aren't waiting for a new collective bargaining agreement to get started. Cundiff's contract as a kicker was easier than most. So don't expect a much larger deal like Ngata's to be completed any time soon. But the Ravens potentially could get some lesser free agents signed in the next few weeks.

Railroad Worker Injury Clash Draws U.S. Supreme Court Review
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to consider tightening the standards for lawsuits by railroad- industry workers who blame their company for injuries they suffered on the job.
The justices today said they will hear a CSX Corp. unit's bid to overturn a $184,250 award to a locomotive engineer who says the company is responsible for a hand injury he suffered during a day at the helm of a train.
The case centers on the test for determining whether a railroad's negligence was the cause of an employee's injury. In the CSX case, the federal judge overseeing the case told the Benton, Illinois, jury that the railroad was responsible if its negligence "played a part - no matter how small - in bringing about the injury."
CSX contends workers should have to meet the more demanding standard, known as proximate cause, that applies in other types of personal-injury suits.
In upholding the award, a federal appeals court in Chicago said the Federal Employers' Liability Act, which governs railroad-industry suits, lets workers recover damages without meeting the proximate cause test.
McBride's injury occurred at the end of a day he spent training to deliver rail cars from one location to another near Evansville, Indiana. He says the process was made more difficult because he had to use wide-body locomotives, which had a different type of brake than smaller engines.
At trial, McBride testified that near the end of the day he put his hand on the brake and felt intense pain. He says he later underwent two surgeries and physical therapy.
The case is CSX Transportation v. McBride, 10-235.

Katie Couric 'Regrets' Turning Down Date With Michael Jackson
Katie Couric recently revealed in SiriusXM radio show with Howard Stern the popular figures whom she once dated. In the candid chat which was held on Wednesday, May 29, the mother of two also said that Michael Jackson once asked her for a date, but she rejected his offer.
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, Jackson's spiritual teacher, once contacted her on the behalf of the King of Pop. Couric said, "(Boteach) called me in my office. (He said), 'Katie, I have a question for you. Are you seeing anyone?' " The rabbi's question puzzled her. "I thought, 'This is so beyond creepy that Rabbi Shmuley is hitting on me,' " Couric recalled.
"I'm like, 'Rabbi Shmuley, you have, like, nine kids, what's going on here?' I said, 'Actually, I am (seeing someone),' because I had a boyfriend at the time," Couric told the spiritual adviser. Rabbi Shmuley responded, "Oh, that's a shame, Michael said to me, 'That's the kind of girl I would like to go out with.' And I said, 'Rabbi Shmuley, that's very flattering but I am seeing someone. Will you tell him how flattered I am and what a nice compliment that is?' "
Whenever she recalls the conversation back then, Couric probably wishes she could turn back time. "I do regret not having dinner with him. That would have been insane - breaking bread with Michael Jackson!" she told Stern.
In the radio show, Couric also revealed other popular names who became her love interests, such as "Full House" actor Bob Saget and "Survivor" host Jeff Probst. "I don't think I did it for him," she said of her date with Saget. He did not contact her again after the first date.
Her date with Probst did not go well either. However, she did not think about it too much. "I thought they were both nice guys. I don't think there was real magic there with either [of them], but I enjoyed spending time with them. I think women need to be much more open-minded," she said.

Young men giving up on marriage: 'Women aren't women anymore'
Poster Handle
Post Content
Sounds like a bunch of sour grapes to me.
I've been with my wife for 30 years. I reckon I just got lucky or chose well, right?
And all those married couples I know--just lucky.
Maybe you guys are making bad choices or something.
Spine monkey
Their is a generational difference. The women of today are NOT the women of 30 years ago. It's a needle in a haystack trying to find a decent woman. I'm at least average looking, extremely fit, kind to a fault, and make almost 200k a year. All the promising women I've dated end up being huge disappointments. Liars, cheaters, gold diggers. It's not just me. Good guys finish last in our society of predatory feminazis.
Anonymous Coward 30688956
I just have to ask. Are you looking for a woman that fits the model type? I have found that a lot of men wont give an average woman the time of day.
I do agree with a lot of what you guys are posting. It does seem that the good guys get the shaft a lot of the time.

Large APIs can be hard to learn, and this can lead to decreased programmer productivity. But what makes APIs hard to learn? We conducted a mixed approach, multi-phased study of the obstacles faced by Microsoft developers learning a wide variety of new APIs. The study involved a combination of surveys and in-person interviews, and collected the opinions and experiences of over 440 professional developers. We found that some of the most severe obstacles faced by developers learning new APIs pertained to the documentation and other learning resources. We report on the obstacles developers face when learning new APIs, with a special focus on obstacles related to API documentation. Our qualitative analysis elicited five important factors to consider when designing API documentation: documentation of intent; code examples; matching APIs with scenarios; penetrability of the API; and format and presentation. We analyzed how these factors can be interpreted to prioritize API documentation development efforts

How many more mothers are childless today because our Congress isn't brave enough to act?May 10, 2013
Nothing is worse than losing a child. This may be one of the few universal beliefs that still holds true in every far reaching corner of the globe. And, I think most would agree that few acts of personal courage are more inspiring than the strength and grace with which many mothers who have experienced the greatest loss devote to preventing others from experiencing such anguish. In the early 1990s, when I first started working with HELP USA, a national nonprofit providing housing and human services for homeless and low income families in challenged communities, I met mothers whose sons were...

Cows Crossing
You may encounter some cows crossing while you're driving towards Sri Menanti Loyal Palace. Just slow down and wait for them to make way for you.
Some people may tell you that driving in Malaysia is very hazardous because you'll always see some cows crossing the road. This is not TRUE because most highway or federal expressway have very strict rules and not allowing owners' of the herbs to endanger motorists' lives on high speed access roads. You will only see cows/goats crossing in small villages where shepherd boys will direct the herbs to eat from one location to another.

And the sign too....
I dare you not to follow the arrow. If you can afford to ignore the double line, why don't you ignore the arrow too?
You can see that i place very high emphasis on road safety here is because this stretch of Negeri Sembilan roads are some of the highest mortality rate in the country. Before you can really see the Sri Menanti or touring the Kuala Pilah, you need to drive safely and live to see the places mentioned.

Respect the Line
Please respect the traffic rules when you see double lines on the road. They are not painted for fun, but there to protect your life.
Try to prove the line as obstacle will often prove futile.
I am writing this warning tip is because starting from the road passed Senawang to Sri Menanti, more than 70% of the road is painted with no overtaking double lines except at some special hill pass where 2nd lane was created for lighter vehicles to overtake big heavy, slow moving lorries.
- Road Trip
Golfer Crossing
Look out for golfer crossing if you're access to Sri Menanti via N29.
Road accident is a great criminal offend in Malaysia.
The KGDSM Golf Course spanned across both side of N29 and often time where will be some small gates opening for crossing of golfers and their turf maids.
- Road Trip
These organic land mines can be found almost quite common if you're entering small villages.
You may not spot any of them on you way driving along main road accessible to Sri Menanti. But be prepared to see/splash some on your car tires if you're exploring smaller villages to better appreciate the Minangkabau roof arts & kampong lifestyles.

Be extra careful & use low gear
Please be extra careful when you're driving to Kuala Pilah irregardless of which route you use.
The stretch from Senawang to Kuala Pilah is especially dangerous with turns that require more than 100 degree turn and driving in low gear will help you to negotiate the corner better.
Any mistake will end you few hundred feet below.

The class of 2012 has the notable distinction of being the first to enter a post-college world in which Osama bin Laden is dead, there is no longer a chance of deployment to Iraq, and an end is in sight for the Afghanistan War, President Obama told graduating Air Force Academy cadets.
There is a "new feeling about America," Obama said.
The president addressed a packed Falcon Stadium Wednesday morning.
"You distinguished yourselves before you set foot on the Terrazo," the president told the class of 2012. "Cadets, this is the day you finally become officers of the finest Air Force in the world."
The strength of America's armed forces was a theme Obama returned to again and again, asserting that cadets were becoming a part of the "finest military the world has ever known."
Though a largely optimistic message, the president cautioned that the country could not let their guard down.
"We still face very serious threats," Obama said. "We need you to be ready."
But nothing, he said, is insurmountable.
"No challenge is too great, no mission is too hard. The spirit that guides your class never falters, never fails."
"There were moments. Things get down sometimes and you wonder when your junior year rolls around if you can make it or not, but you stick with it and I'm glad I did," 2Lt. Matt Richardson, a new graduate, said after the ceremony.
Obama also touched on certain themes pertinent to his re-election bid, telling graduates that he intended on putting more money into education, science, manufacturing and innovation even while slashing at the nation's growing debt.
The president landed at Peterson Air Force Base aboard Air Force One at approximately 8:36 a.m. He greeted several people on the tarmac before getting into the presidential limo and departing for the Academy.
While the motorcade crossed Colorado Springs, several intersections were closed and traffic was delayed. The same situation occurred after the President leaves Falcon Stadium at the conclusion of his address.

Supply chain coordination with insurance contract
We propose an insurance contract under which the supplier shares the risk of overstock and understock with the retailer, improving the efficiency of the supply chain with a newsvendor-type product. We first show that the insurance contract could coordinate the supply chain, and obtain bargaining solution in the supply chain model. Then we investigate the effects of agents' risk aversion on the supply chain model and acquire the Pareto-optimal solution through the mean-variance approach. After that, we compare the insurance contract with the revenue sharing contract, focusing particularly on their differences. Finally, extensive numerical studies are conducted, and managerial implications are proposed.

The magnetic properties and recording performance of hard/soft stacked media consisting of a magnetically hard 9-nm-thick (Co-Pt)-SiO 2 layer underneath a thin (2-3 nm) soft granular layer were studied. Experimental results indicated that an increase in the mean value of saturation magnetization of the soft layer langMs softrang was very effective at improving the recording resolution D50 due to an increase in the slope of magnetization curve alpha. The use of a Co-SiO2 layer, which has the highest langMs softrang in the present study, resulted in the highest D50 value. It is likely that the increase in alpha was mainly caused by the demagnetization field in grains due to the difference between langM s softrang and the mean value of saturation magnetization of the hard layer, langMs hardrang. Moreover, it was successfully demonstrated that the magnetization reversal of (Co-Pt)-SiO2/Co-SiO2 stacked media changed systematically as theoretically predicted on reducing the interfacial exchange coupling by using NiFeCr-SiO2 or Pt-SiO2 interlayers. The reduction of remanence coercivity Hr was achieved by controlling the thickness and film composition of the interlayer, moreover, a high-langMs softrang enhanced the Hr reduction. The Hr reduction improved recording writability without degrading D50, the signal to medium noise ratio SNmR and thermal stability

AbstractThe proposed program would demonstrate the feasibility of electrostatic self-assembly (ESA) processes for the low-cost fabrication of adaptive reflector membranes for space-based optical systems. ESA processing involves coating solid substrates by the alternate adsorption of anionic and cationic complexes of polymers, metallic nanoclusters and other molecules from water-based solutions at room temperature and pressure. By controlling the molecular structure created in the resulting multilayer thin film, materials with different properties may be formed, including optical filters and mirrors, electrostrictive actuator elements, ultrahigh conductivity interconnecting thin film leads, and ultrahard surface protection coatings. NanoSonic has licensed nine strategic ESA patents from Virginia Tech to enable materials and device commercialization. During the Phase I program, NanoSonic would work with Virginia Tech to demonstrate the feasibility of the ESA process for integrated reflector/actuator device fabrication, high conductivity element interconnects, and surface protecting coatings. Several large industrial partner companies would provide input during Phase I concerning ESA process scale-up and device testing, and would offer opportunities for Phase II development partnering. ~990088 ~

Wizard of Oz on SNL: Anne Hathaway Goes Down the Yellow Brick Road (Video)Emma Brady
Anne Hathaway can sing! On last night's episode of Saturday Night Live, Anne Hathaway channeled Judy Garland in a skit about the fifth character that was cut out of The Wizard of Oz. The most amazing thing about the entire skit was that Anne Hathaway has some major chops when it comes to singing! The girl has some major skills.
See Anne Hathaway in SNL's Wizard of Oz….
In the skit, Anne appears with the faux cast of The Wizard of Oz in out takes of the never before seen fifth character from the children's movie – the weather vane. The Weather Vane is basically a grouchy New York in search of a new apartment going along for the ride. It's the moment when Anne stars to sing Over the Rainbow when you catch a glimpse of her singing skills.
What do you think of Anne Hathaway's take on The Wizard of Oz?

AbstractThe objective of this Phase I SBIR program is to design, synthesize and qualify innovative optically transparent ballistic and abrasion resistant hybrid polysiloxane nanocomposites for use as protective coatings on polycarbonate protective equipment. Researchers will synergistically combine the molecular mobility, impact durability and mechanical strength of hybrid polysiloxane copolymers with the abrasion resistance of reinforcing metal oxide nanoparticles to afford novel protective coatings that enhance the high velocity impact resistance, strength and abrasion resistance of polycarbonate equipment. The proposed copolymer coatings will be an extension of NanoSonic's blast / flame protective polysiloxane coatings that have demonstrated 1) V50 values > 4,000 ft/s to 3/8" A36 steel panels (MIL-STD-662F), 2) multiple shot protection from 0.50 cal rounds and 3) exceptional flame resistance. Of particular interest, NanoSonic's hybrid polysiloxane protective materials have demonstrated a 53% V50 enhancement over uncoated steel panels and a 43% V50 improvement over currently employed polyurea protective coatings. NanoSonic specializes in the coating of polycarbonate substrates and has previously developed optically transparent multifunctional abrasion resistant coatings for NAVAIR aircraft canopies. During this program, researchers will leverage this technology and NanoSonic's recently developed hybrid polysiloxane coatings to produce innovative optically transparent, abrasion resistant antiballistic coatings for polycarbonate equipment.

A Little Corner of Nashville: (ebook)
Tennessee's 2010 Flood and Recovery in a Little Corner of Nashville
by TS Gentuso
This 7"x7" volume is the One Year Anniversary Edition of this book, it features 200 pages with more than 350 photos chronicling the devastating May 2010 flood in an eclectic neighborhood in east Nashville, nestled on the Cumberland River near Opryland.
Following the same families for an entire year after the flood, within the pages of this volume you will see these hardy Nashvillians go from shock and disbelief to being settled back into their own homes--one family even happily posing by the Christmas tree for a "home again" photo.
A 12"x12" edition of the book is also available in the author's Blurb store.
All photography and text is the work of Tamara Gentuso.

Kansas Shooter Frazier Glenn Miller's Long Trail of Hate
The alleged gunman was a very public white supremacist and anti-Semite.
The man born Frazier Glenn Cross Jr., but better known as Glenn Miller, a Ku Klux Klan member long hiding and plotting in plain sight, will be charged with hate crimes in the murder of three people in front of a Jewish community center and retirement home yesterday, despite the fact that none of his victims were actually Jewish.
Intent, however, can be enough. "We believe this to be a hate crime," said Overland Park police chief John Douglass today. "We believe his motivation was to attack a Jewish facility." U.S. attorney Barry Grissom added, "We are in a very good place from an evidence standpoint," and not just because Miller allegedly yelled "Heil Hitler!" from the back of a police car.
The 73-year-old was well known to the hate-group watchdogs at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which maintained a detailed dossier on him even before yesterday's shooting, describing his criminal history as such:
In 1986, Miller was convicted on a federal contempt of court charge after violating the terms of a consent order that settled a lawsuit filed against him and his Klan group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. He was sentenced to a year in prison, with six months suspended. However, he disappeared while out on bond awaiting an appeal and was later caught in Missouri along with four other Klansmen and a cache of weapons.
In 1987, he pleaded guilty to a weapons charge and to mailing a threat through the mail. He had been indicted along with four other white supremacists for conspiring to acquire stolen military weapons, and for planning robberies and the assassination of SPLC founder Morris Dees. In an agreement with federal prosecutors, he received a five-year prison sentence in exchange for his testimony against 14 white supremacist leaders in a sedition trial. He served three years of that sentence.
But beyond his past offenses, Miller left behind a vast personal mythology of white supremacy and anti-Semitism as catalogued on his disturbing, web 1.0 site, complete with a waving Confederate flag GIF. In addition to posting frequently on white-power message boards like Stormfront and Vanguard News Network ("No Jews, Just Right"), Miller self-published a book with his rantings, titled A White Man Speaks Out, beginning with chapter one, "Joining My First Racist Group (1974)" and ending with a section called "War Declaration."
In "White Women," Miller writes:
Our women have become whores for the world, thanks to Jewish created "popular culture" and Jewish corrupted judges, and politicians, who over the decades, have thrown out all laws designed by our forefathers to insure racial survival and the White man's authority over his women, children, country, and destiny. [...]
The so-called Women's Rights Movement would never have come about without the Jews. The original movers of this anti-White conspiracy were Gloria Steinem, Belia Abzug, and Betty Freidan, all Jews. Gullible White women believe these Jews have their interests at heart, but in reality, these fanatical, Aryan-hating pied-piper bitches are working to further the Jewish agenda.
Miller appeared on the radio in 2010, during an independent Senate campaign in which he collected seven votes (slogan: "It's the Jews, Stupid"), with David Pakman and Howard Stern. "Hitler would have created a paradise on Earth, particularly for white people," Miller told Pakman.
When Stern asked whether he hated Jewish people or African-Americans more, Miller said, "Jews. A thousand times more. Compared to our Jewish problem, all other problems are mere distractions."
"Let the blood of our enemies flood the streets, rivers, and fields of the nation in holy vengeance and justice," Miller wrote 15 years ago in his declaration of war. Should prosecutors need to bolster their hate-crime case, there is certainly no shortage of very public evidence.

After more than a month of plateaus and slight increases, Southern California gas prices moved solidly downward in the last week, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California's Weekend Gas Watch.
The state average is $3.623 a gallon for regular as of Thursday -- 4.1 cents lower than last week.
The average price of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego is $3.647, which is 4.3 cents below last week, 1.6 cents higher than last month, and 4 cents lower than last year.
In the Los Angeles-Long Beach area, the average price is $3.657 per gallon, which is 3.8 cents less than last week, 1.2 cents higher than last month, and 5.4 cents lower than last year. On the Central Coast, the average price is $3.679, down 3.5 cents from last week, 1.5 cents higher than a month ago, and 3 cents less than last year. In the Inland Empire, the average per-gallon price is $3.644, down 3.5 cents from last week, 3.5 cents higher than last month, and 3 cents less than last year.
"Los Angeles wholesale prices have now dipped below even the lowest levels of 2013, so if this trend holds, we should continue to see more gas stations selling regular unleaded for less than $3.50 a gallon," said Auto Club spokesman Jeffrey Spring.

My client is wondering if Livebooks is better for her than WordPress. She is not a photographer or a designer, but owns a spa.
I like to change font size and color AND move things around in a WordPress theme—I like to really customize for my client. Can I do that with Livebooks without paying extra? I know I can change many things in WordPress.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I am trying to figure out how to add a custom sized header image in Origin theme. (The theme includes a custom left justified header of 235px x 70px.) The image I'm trying to place is 940px x 140px (should take up the entire width of the page). I'd like this to fall just below the primary navigation bar and above the thick black line.
This topic was covered before here, but when I tried the code it placed my header above the navigation, not below.
I am using a child theme.

Any suggestions?

Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Center has grown into the premier center for cosmetic plastic surgery services in Winston-Salem. Dr. Wright founded the practice in 1989. They offer cosmetic plastic surgery procedures for the Face, Body and Breasts. They pride themselves as a practice that strives to offer each patient the best that is available whether the latest in technology or surgical technique.
Our office and staff reflect the experience of over 30 years in the practice of plastic surgery. We are dedicated to providing a positive atmosphere and strive to remain sensitive to the uniquely different needs of each patient. READ MORE
It is my belief that one of my most important jobs is educating my patients. Many times, patients will have preconceived ideas about the results they hope to achieve. In our consultation sessions, an accurate evaluation of the patient's objectives is critical, followed by a thorough explanation of the procedure(s) that will best accomplish the desired results, and there may be alternative choices we can offer the prospective patient to allow for a more informed decision.
Pre and postoperative photographs are taken of all patients for documentation of before-and-after results, and occasionally in the interim to demonstrate changes as healing occurs. These are placed permanently on file as part of the patient's record. Additionally, these photos are occasionally used for teaching and demonstration, but with concealment of the patient's identity, and then only with the patient's permission.
"First of all, cosmetic surgery is not about "need," it is about "wants," based on the patients' perceptions of themselves and their emotional desires. As a plastic surgeon, it is my responsibility to listen to each patient and understand his or her expectations. I must remember that, with surgery, I will be affecting a physical change that will cause the patient to experience a mental change, transforming his or her self-perception. To this end, as a surgeon, I must also be a counselor, a communicator, and above all, an educator to guide the patient through the myriad of procedural options touted daily by the public media." — Dr. John H. Wright

I can't access phpmyadmin. I get this classic forbidden error: You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin on this server. I installed phpmyadmin via apt-get. I choosed apache2 in the installation progress. The first weird thing is, that no phpmyadmin.conf symlink is created in conf.d folder of apache. The next weired thing is, that I can create the symlink myself, restart the apache and the mysql server without any error and get the same forbidden error. The apache.conf from phpmyadmin is the default one. I'm using the user root. Could that be a problem with user:usergroup of some files?
I think this one is going to require a reinstall. I have not had the issue you are describing, however, I have had others. A complete purge and reinstall has fixed the issue on those occasions. Some info that would be useful to further troubleshoot this would be the version of Ubuntu you are using.

LeAnn Sargent, Maple Grove councilwoman, charged with stealing from dying dad
Sargent is Maple Grove's longest-tenured council member.
LeAnn Sargent, a Maple Grove councilwoman since 1991, will continue to serve on the council despite being charged with stealing thousands and thousands of dollars from her dying dad and lying about it under oath.
SEE ALSO: Maple Grove High School hockey scandal: Rumored player sex tape called "The Show"
Sargent, 62, was reelected for another term in November, a month after news of law enforcement's investigation first made headlines. In the eyes of Maple Grove voters, you really are innocent until proven guilty, apparently.
Sargent's father died last March. Her brother first sensed something was awry when he accessed his father's "significantly funded" trust after his death and found less than $400 in there.
A Fox 9 report tells the story from there:
[Between 2008 and last March] investigators found bank records showing more than $97,000 worth of cash advances, checks from her father's account totaling over $76,000, and unusual purchases and expenses totaling over $86,000 -- including payments to local spas, realtor-related payments and handbag purchases.
Investigators found that Sargent had several written agreements with her father, including a Personal Care Agreement that stated Bobleter would pay his daughter $1,500 each month for personal care services that included meal preparation, laundry, transportation, housekeeping, errand running, banking, bill payment, bathing, grooming and dressing. He also signed a Room and Board agreement that tacked on an additional $500 per month.
A review of financial records show that though Sargent should have received $24,000 through those agreements, but the charges claim she paid herself "substantially more." Between April 2011 and March 2012, she withdrew about $18,250 in cash from Bobleter's checking and money market accounts and took about $6,000 in cash advances from her father's Visa in addition to paying herself over $26,000 in checks.
Sargent and her husband declared bankruptcy in 2011. In court filings, they made no mention of the income Sargent was receiving from her dying dad.
She's been charged with two counts of perjury and two counts of exploiting a vulnerable adult, but will continue to serve on the Maple Grove City Council for the time being since the charges don't involve misappropriation of public funds. Maple Grove's city administration told WCCO that Sargent is innocent until proven guilty, though her colleagues could ask her to step down.

They're the biggest rivals in pop music at the moment so it's no wonder they don't really get on.
But we're worried that this burning feud between The Wanted and One Direction might end up with a little tussle or even worse – someone getting their hair brushed out of place.
Of course, there's no fear of that happening to Max George who has one of the smoothest heads in boyband history (or at least since Fred of Right Said Fred fame).
And because he's obviously got less to lose than his rivals who are famed for having exceptionally styled perms, Max has taken a shot at the 1D boys saying they're not friends and they're immature. Ouch.
Speaking to Fabulous magazine, Max said: "We're not the best of friends, so it's not like we are going to go up and start hugging and kissing.
"And they make little comments in interviews when we're mentioned. But they're young, and that's expected, and I laugh at it. If they're taking it seriously, then maybe that's just an age thing."
The Wanted's own curly-haired singer Jay McGuinness added: "There's no actual fighting, it's just the way it goes in the media. I've met the boys. They're not angels, but who is? When we first started it was us versus JLS."
It's not the first time the bands have exchanged bitchy comments , during an interview with former Radio 1 breakfast show host Chris Moyles in September, the funny man suggested The Wanted would be more successful if it wasn't for One Direction.
The Glad You Came singers said they weren't bothered by 1D's success.
Harry Styles, however, decided to respond on his Twitter page: 'Chris Moyles' is actually right though... If 1D aren't in the picture, The Wanted would've been WAY more popular!'
And not long after, The Wanted were mistaken for One Direction during an interview but instead of kindly correcting the hapless reporter, the boys played along.
Louis Tomlinson also got himself tangled in a bit of banter with The Wanted boys.
In July, he was chased by fans into a bargain shop – you know the ones that sell 60 cans of Pepsi for a quid? – only to notice a book on The Wanted on the shelves.
He had a little chuckle and flicked through the unofficial guide, making sure the fans and the cameras got a good eyeful.
At least we know that when mop-haired Jay was having a drunken cry outside a nightclub (see for yourself, here ) it wasn't because he's jealous of Harry's curls.
Why can't we all just get along?

Marinated meats burrow into taco shells, tortillas, and breakfast platters amid Zendejas #13's sprawling spread of Arizona Wildcats memorabilia. Located within walking distance of the Wildcats football stadium, the restaurant attracts sports fans and students with its red-blue-and-white color scheme, pigskin-themed decor, and burrito-punting contests. At the bar, mixologists concoct heady margaritas from shots of tequila and juicy hints of fruit. In the kitchen, carnitas-stuffed burritos join rice and beans to form dinner-friendly combos, and breakfast plates of machaca and egg greet daybreak with shredded beef, not rooster calls.

(covers information from several alternate timelines)
|United Earth
|Active (2154)
The Intrepid was an United Earth Intrepid-type starship that was in service with Starfleet in the mid-22nd century. The ship's motto was "In Mare In Cælo" ("Into the Sea In the Sky").
History Edit
The Intrepid was constructed and placed into service by the year 2153, when it was under the command of Captain Ramirez. (ENT: "The Expanse")
In 2153, the Intrepid, along with two other starships, aided the returning Enterprise on its way back to Earth while it was under attack by a Klingon Bird-of-Prey. (ENT: "The Expanse")
The Intrepid was one of the vessels gathered at Earth awaiting the return of the Enterprise from the Delphic Expanse in 2154. (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II")
In an alternate timeline where Earth was destroyed by the Xindi, the Intrepid was one of a few Starfleet vessels to escape destruction. It, along with Enterprise and one other Starfleet vessel, escorted a convoy of the last six thousand Humans to the Ceti Alpha system in 2155-56, and helped patrol the system afterwards. In 2165, the Intrepid suffered heavy damage, including the loss of its port nacelle, in a Xindi attack just before Commander Malcolm Reed would have taken over command of the Intrepid from Ramirez. This timeline was later negated by the eradication of interspatial parasites that had infected Jonathan Archer's brain. (ENT: "Twilight")
Personnel Edit
Command crew Edit
|Starships named Intrepid
|Intrepid • USS Intrepid (NCC-1631) • USS Intrepid (NCC-38907) • USS Intrepid (NCC-74600)
Appendices Edit
Appearances Edit
Background information Edit
In the final draft script of "The Expanse", the Intrepid was referred to as a warp two ship.
During the writing of "Twilight", the Intrepid replaced Columbia in the episode's script. According to Mike Sussman, the ship was rewritten as the Intrepid "because I knew the Intrepid had been established in an earlier episode, and I wanted to see specifically that model." ("Twilight" audio commentary, ENT Season 3 Blu-ray special features)
In "Twilight", the Intrepid is shown losing its port nacelle. This footage was not originally scripted, though. Originally, a line of dialogue was meant to deliver this information; however, the effect was deemed to carry a greater impact to the audience, so it was included in the final edit of "Twilight", along with the dialogue addressing the plot point.
The Intrepid's mission patch appeared in "The Expanse", on Captain Ramirez's shoulder patch. The motto on the mission patch translates as "In the sea, in the sky." The mission patch was designed by Scenic Art Supervisor Michael Okuda. He based the patch design and motto on those of the US Navy's Essex-class carrier USS Intrepid (CV-11). (Star Trek: Costumes: Five Decades of Fashion from the Final Frontier, p. 217)

What I'm pretty sad here isn't that I lose some available credit limit. It is that I can't have an Amex Blue Cash Prefered card. Though there are other options, none are as good.

Cinebench has been a personal favourite test of ours for a long time now; it uses methodology comparable to a standard rendering task. Therefore is a good indication of rendering power for a designer.
We performed the test in Cinebench R10 64-bit.
Cinebench is a great tool which helps us take a quick look at the real world performance of the processor. Clocked at 3.8GHz the Hellspawn ALC manages to score 22,291 which is very respectable and shows that the machine is capable of far more than just gaming.

Gentlemen of the Road (Paperback)
Michael Chabon's Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, sprang from an early passion for the derring-do and larger-than-life heroes of classic comic books. Now, once more mining the rich past, Chabon summons the rollicking spirit of legendary adventures from The Arabian Nights to Alexandre Dumas to Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories in a wonderful new novel brimming with breathless action, raucous humor, cliff-hanging suspense, and a cast of colorful characters worthy of Scheherazade's most tantalizing tales.
They re an odd pair, to be sure: pale, rail-thin, black-clad Zelikman, a moody, itinerant physician fond of jaunty headgear, and ex-soldier Amram, a gray-haired giant of a man as quick with a razor-tongued witticism as he is with a sharpened battle-ax. Brothers under the skin, comrades in arms, they make their rootless way through the Caucasus Mountains, circa A.D. 950, living as they please and surviving however they can as blades and thieves for hire and as practiced bamboozlers, cheerfully separating the gullible from their money. No strangers to tight scrapes and close shaves, they ve left many a fist shaking in their dust, tasted their share of enemy steel, and made good any number of hasty exits under hostile circumstances.
None of which has necessarily prepared them to be dragooned into service as escorts and defenders to a prince of the Khazar Empire. Usurped by his brutal uncle, the callow and decidedly ill-tempered young royal burns to reclaim his rightful throne. But doing so will demand wicked cunning, outrageous daring, and foolhardy bravado . . . not to mention an army. Zelikman and Amram can at least supply the former. But are these gentlemen of the road prepared to become generals in a full-scale revolution? The only certainty is that getting there along a path paved with warriors and whores, evil emperors and extraordinary elephants, secrets, swordplay, and such stuff as the grandest adventures are made of will be much more than half the fun.
"From the Hardcover edition.

Health Care Reform Hits A Flat Note With Musicians
Most Musicians don't have Health Insurance and have no idea what to do
Federal Government Reform and related efforts, such as increased funding for Federally Qualified Health Centers; eliminating pre-existing limitation for Children; and expanding the eligibility for dependents to age 26, all of which could benefit this group have largely gone unnoticed.
To help Musicians and Entertainers, NAMVE is offering free Health Care Counseling to Musicians and Entertainers, whether or not they are NAMVE members. Health Care Counseling is broader than offering health insurance programs, since it includes referrals to Government programs and recommendations to obtain health insurance through Spouses and Parents.

RIYADH – Saudi Arabia reported 18 cases of the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) coronavirus on Monday, shortly after the sacking of the country's health minister.
In a statement, the Health Ministry said that 18 MERS cases were reported in the kingdom, two of which ultimately proved fatal.
The new cases came hours after the Saudi King removed Health Minister Abdullah al-Rabeeah from his post.
A royal decree said that al-Rabeeah was relieved of his post and was appointed as an adviser at the Royal Court.
According to the decree, Minister of Labor Adel bin Mohammad Faqih "was assigned to act as minister of health besides continuing as the minister of labor."
On Sunday, Saudi Arabia reported 13 MERS cases, including three deaths.
Saudi's first case of the virus was documented in September 2012. It has since spread throughout the region.
Along with Saudi Arabia, cases of MERS have so far been reported in Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Tunisia, Jordan and Oman.
Symptoms, which include persistent fever and cough, are similar to those associated with the SARS virus.
MERS, for which no known cure is available, destroys the lungs and kidneys. It is presumed that long-term physical contact can lead to infection.
During a 2003 epidemic of SARS (an earlier form of coronavirus), more than 800 people – mostly from Asia – succumbed to the virus.
