|Handsome Harry (2010)
| "Sheridan (who also produced) is well cast as the good-looking, rugged Harry, and his performance is certainly adequate." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jul 7, 2010

| "Bland sitcom romp based on the long-running comic strip features wisecracking canines in a beach-set family story." ‐ Hollywood Reporter

|Righteous Kill (2008)
| "An ordinary cop picture boosted by two charismatic superstars but hindered by its dearth of surprises." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 11, 2008
|The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie (2008)
| "Pirates scores with adventure, humor and a morality tale rather than a standard biblical message." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jan 11, 2008
|September Dawn (2007)
| "[The film] too often feels like a very elaborate episode of Gunsmoke." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Aug 24, 2007
|Black Sheep (2006)
| "A giddily subversive addition to the age-old cinema tradition of the horror comedy." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jun 21, 2007
|In the Land of Women (2007)
| "With an age-old cinema theme of a young man's maturation, it also needs to land female ticket-buyers but seems a lot like something women could find at home on the WE channel." ‐ Hollywood Reporter

Posted Feb 8, 2007
|Barnyard (2006)
| "While youngsters might enjoy the movie, more discerning tweens, teens and adults will not be as easily amused, and boxoffice prospects look modest, albeit followed by a long DVD shelf life." ‐ Hollywood Reporter

Posted Sep 16, 2005
|No Score Yet
|Meet the Family (2005)

Posted Jul 28, 2005
|Rebound (2005)
| "Predictable yet passably entertaining." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jun 30, 2005
|Swimming Upstream (2004)
| "Good as Rush and Davis are as combative working-class parents Harold and Dora, their story line overpowers the drippy dramatics of their teen athlete son. It unwittingly feels like two separate movies." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Feb 5, 2005
|Enduring Love (2004)
| "Craig, in his meatiest film role to date, delivers his usual incisive performance, even if this intimate drama of contemporary Londoners pushes the boundaries of credibility." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Oct 13, 2004
|Raise Your Voice (2004)
| "It resembles an episode of TV's Saved by the Bell, with a bigger budget and an underlying religious bent." ‐ Hollywood Reporter

Posted Sep 24, 2004
|National Lampoon's Gold Diggers (2004)
| "This cheap-looking, broad and ultimately unnecessary comedy makes John Landis' benchmark Animal House -- one of the earliest films to bear the National Lampoon brand name -- look like Lubitsch." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Sep 17, 2004
|Catch That Kid (2004)
| "Remake of Danish family film is mainly fun for the young." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Feb 5, 2004
|The Perfect Score (2004)
| "The story is flimsy, and when the dialogue touches on controversial issues regarding the SAT and its fairness, the slacker tone turns abruptly melodramatic." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jan 29, 2004
|Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003)
| "It will never be confused with the groundbreaking Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but when it comes to a zippy live-action-meets-animation kid flick with plenty of grown-up gags, Looney Tunes: Back in Action does not disappoint." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Nov 11, 2003
|Controlled Chaos (2007)
| "It's hard to tell whether film school grad Zendel thought she was crafting a new-millennium Sunset Boulevard, but what results is more like the cultish morass of Showgirls in its camp dramatization of a poisonous entertainment milieu." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Jun 5, 2003
|The Young Unknown (2000)
| "A curious exercise in the vein of David Rabe's Hurlyburly that needed greater dramatic heft than is exhibited by the industry lightweights it depicts." ‐ Hollywood Reporter
Posted Apr 15, 2003
|Piglet's Big Movie (2003)

Our cluster is a linux cluster with Torque and Maui. I am reading tutorials online and find that the compilation is only on the head node, and after submitting the job by qsub, the other nodes are running the executable compiled on the head node. So that is why my questions arise.
Is it correct that a cluster has a head node and many compute nodes. user login and submit jobs at head node via scheduler, the jobs are running on compute nodes not on the head node?
can a program be compiled on the head node and run on the other compute nodes? If yes, does it mean that all compute nodes and head node must have same configuration and OS, so a program compiled on the head node can be run on the other nodes without recompiling on each other node?

The Past And Future Of The World Economy: The Causes And Consequences of Industrial Cycles
Dan Chirot, Professor of Russian and Eurasian Studies, University of Washington
RSVP Required by 5PM January 21
Part I: Asia in the World Series
Since the start of the Industrial Revolution the world economy has gone through a set of stages, or cycles, each defined by its leading centers, its major technologies, and its most critical political conflicts. While technologies have progressed immensely some of the same patterns have been repeated. Though most economists do not seem to believe that there have been long term more or less regular cycles, thinking in terms of repetitive and therefore somewhat predictable and explainable changes can help us better model the past and get some sense of possible futures. Until now the dominant economies have all been Western. Will this continue? Why has Asia lagged, and are contemporary developments going to fundamentally change the nature and causes of success in the world economy?

This theme seems to be a abandoned-- and I want to change themes, as much as I like this one.
Has anyone found a similarly designed theme they care to recommend??
This theme seems to be a abandoned-- and I want to change themes, as much as I like this one.
Has anyone found a similarly designed theme they care to recommend??
I agree that it's really too bad about this theme. I tried searching the themes page using "minimalist" and found quite a few that looked somewhat similar. Even twentytwelve might be workable - and that's certainly a great theme (and WILL be maintained and supported for a long time to come).
If you find one that's close, you can always customize it further...
Care to share any good ones?
See what you like -
Hi guys.
I'm using the theme version 1.5.2
It works fine and I don't want to update - do you guys that is okay from a security point of view?
You can take a look at the versions 1.5.3 and above here:
Look at their readme.txt files to see what you're missing out on. I don't know if the theme's author explicitly says they have fixed security flaws there, but it is plausible if they do between updates.
Alexsouthwriter-- does it 'play well' with WordPress, etc. I had so many problems with it. It's gorgeous, but totally crashed when I updated WordPress. That could have been for a multiple of reasons and we solved the problems, one way an another.. but it makes me hesitate to go back. Especially if there are security issues.
It looks like what I'll be doing is creating a child theme of 2012, adding a header *above* the menu bar and a footer-- which are the things it's really missing. The thing I really liked about Brunelleschi was the not-a-black-bar menu -- the other thing was the lines under the header font... those were really nice. But it feels like time to move on, sadly.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Catholic Bishops Seek to Meet With McCain, Obama
BOSTON -- America's Catholic bishops have a few thoughts on politics, and this year they want to share them directly with the candidates.
For the first time in recent memory, leaders of the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops have invited the two presidential candidates to meet with them before the election. Neither Republican John McCain nor Democrat Barack Obama have replied to the invitations offered last month, said Sister Mary Ann Walsh, spokeswoman for the conference.
A spokeswoman for the McCain campaign said the senator wants to accept, but does not yet know if such a meeting will fit into his schedule. A spokesman for the Obama campaign could not be reached for comment.
Five bishops who lead policy committees -- delving into matters including abortion, education, migration, international affairs and communications -- want to discuss the candidates' views on social issues, said Bishop William Murphy of the Rockville Centre diocese in New York state. He is chairman of the bishops' domestic policy committee. The meetings, if they occur, will be private and off the record, he said.
"This isn't born of any concern or worry or problem," said Bishop Murphy. "We think it would be helpful for us to have that time and we think it would be helpful for the candidates to hear from the teachers of the Catholic church …as to what our concerns are."
Religion has become a staple of this election season, as both Republicans and Democrats talk about its impact on their lives in hopes of luring voters. Both candidates were interviewed during a live broadcast by the Rev. Rick Warren, a Protestant pastor in California.
Deal Hudson, a one-time Catholic adviser to President George W. Bush and now to Sen. McCain, said the invitation by the bishops shows their "heightened interest in this particular election… There is a real excitement among some parts of the Catholic community about Obama. And there is some genuine excitement and intensity about opposing Obama… And I'm sure that same division is found among the bishops."
Last November, the bishops spelled out their positions in a document, "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship," that was meant to inform Catholic voters on how political issues relate to church teachings. Besides the church's rejection of abortion, the document asks that society help the most vulnerable, respect the rights of workers, support migrants, be peacemakers and care for the environment.
"These themes from Catholic social teaching provide a moral framework that does not easily fit ideologies of 'right' or 'left,' 'liberal' or 'conservative,' or the platform of any political party," the bishops wrote.
The invitation was extended prior to last week, when bishops chastised two Catholics who support abortion rights -- Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- for their remarks concerning abortion. Bishops, in particular, faulted Ms. Pelosi for suggesting that the church has not agreed to the time when human life begins.

By Harold Gwin
The Rev. Cecil Monroe said he spoke as a concerned parent with three children in the school system.
YOUNGSTOWN — The pastor of Higher Learning Church in Austintown has called for the resignation of Wendy Webb, superintendent of the Youngstown City School District.
The Rev. Cecil Monroe of Highlawn Avenue has three children in the Youngstown school system — a daughter in preschool, a son in kindergarten and a daughter in first grade — and said he was speaking as a concerned parent.
The failing grade given the school district on its 2009 state local report card is a reflection of the superintendent's and school board's concern about the students, he said in addressing the school board Tuesday. The district appears to have a lackadaisical approach to academics, and that gives everyone a license not to try as hard as they can, he said.
As a result, students, on the whole, don't appear to be trying as hard as they should, he said.
Parents should be outraged, he said, adding that the time has come for change at the top.
Youngstown was rated in academic emergency, and the state is assigning an academic distress commission to come to the city to guide the school district in the creation of a plan designed to improve academic achievement.
The Rev. Mr. Monroe said the school board is apparently willing to give Webb another chance to improve academic performance, but he disagrees, telling the board that he doesn't believe she deserves another chance.
The superintendent should resign immediately, he said, calling it the "responsible" thing to do.
Everything stems from the superintendent, and, though she may have inherited many of the academic problems she faces, the responsibility for the failing grade is still hers, Mr. Monroe said.
Jennifer Lewis of Indianola Avenue, also addressed the board, telling members that communication between the superintendent's office and the public became a problem when Webb took over the office in 2004.
Violent student-offenders have been allowed back in the classroom with those they abused, and parents with high-performing children have been driven out of the district, she said, adding that is a loss from which the district may never recover.
Webb, who has one more year on her contract after this school year, declined to comment on the call for her to step down.
However, Anthony Catale, school board president, said he looks forward to working with the superintendent on adopting a new strategic plan for academics and determining how the district will meet the goals the plan sets forth.
Webb said that plan, which is to include specific details for each school building, is nearly complete and will soon be reported to the public.
The outrage is that Reverend Monroe doesn't see that it is a lack of parent responsibility with their own children's education that is at the root of the Youngstown City School district's problems. One woman cannot be blamed for a community whose parents have fallen down on the job of instilling the value of education at home. Children cannot go to school where teachers try to educate them, and then return home to mom and dad (maybe) and have them undermine their teachers' authority, which is what is routinely done. If one's mother or father holds disdain for education and educators, the child will follow suit. Reverend Monroe obviously has no clue what he's talking about. He's simply another parent that wants to place blame on one or two people, rather than acknowledging the problem is in the homes of his community.
The vast majority of Youngstowners with kids in the school system lack family moral values and parental involvement in the schools. The schools are treated like a place to send your kids for breakfast and lunch, and babysitting during te day. The family educational value has to come first if the schools are ever to recover from their academic and financial problems. However, Webb & the uselss school board have done very little except collect a pay check for the many years she has led the district. It is time to FIRE Webb and replace her with someone who can do the job. Maybe a nice middle aged white successful superintendent from a suburban district?
Okay, that is just racist and absurd, UnionForever.
And besides, your nice middle aged white successful person from a suburban district would probably pee their pants when faced with the problems of the children in these schools.
How about holding community meetings throughout the neighborhoods, multiple times a year, in which those parents who ARE involved form a cooperative group to go door to door in order to convince their neighbors that they need to be involved and change their attitudes about education for the sake of their children as well. That seems more doable than simply replacing one well-meaning person who can't save a school system from its parents with another well meaning person (white and from the suburbs, according to your theory) who will fail just as badly, because, again, one person cannot save an entire community. It will take the entire community's participation to save itself.
I agree with Mr. Monroe. I currently live in the Youngstown school district and have three children that do not attend Youngstown Schools and never will. Ms. Webb continues to build new schools and refuses to address the real problem. The scarey part of all of this is, these children are the future of Mahoning Valley!!!!! Someone needs to step up to the plate and start at the top. It's time that we get a Superintendent in there that will build a future for these children! Building new schools is not the answer! I challenge the school board to do what's right and show these children that they are willing to give them the opportunity to succeed!!!! Stop making excuses that contracts prohibit you from doing the right thing! It takes strong leadership to correct what's wrong! Fire Webb immediately!!!!!
Youngstown City Schools are sad. Yes I agree parents need to take the responsibility of their children and teach them to respect the ones that are over them. The child lacks parental control. My four children grew up in a single parent household, but they knew when they went to school they better respect their teachers. I don't know where things went wrong in the school system. But something needs to be done. Yes I moved out of Youngstown and I can say I am glad I did!!
"Violent student-offenders have been allowed back in the classroom with those they abused"
I don't know what all the fluff is about . Criminals are allowed to hang out at school and select victims at taxpayer expense . Recent robbery at East High comes to mind . There is no suppression of the subculture . Academia is secondary in Youngstown schools because of toleration . Does the majority of Youngstown actually desire any change ? I doubt it .
"In the situation in which she found herself?" Dr. Webb was appointed by a board of education - in a non-unanimous vote - for a position she actively sought, campaigned for and rallied support from the public to get. Her shortcomings were no surprise to some board members who were unfortunately in the minority. While I don't necessarily think a superintendent needs to come from the teaching ranks, I will say there was a major disconnect between the librarian and teachers - particularly in terms of the resources necessary to set up a classroom. Does anyone remember the new Taft School debacle? The stunning lack of leadership was just recently displayed in the fact that the Youngstown District lost out on millions of dollars in grant money due to failure of the union to sign off on the application. There are ways to work around such difficulties.
Oh well, the board appointees to the state emergency commission will be political appointments - wonder what criterion Dr. DeLisle is using at the state level?
I want to commend Jennifer Lewis for her persistance. She has been speaking at Board meetings for regularly, and must feel she is not heard.
In this case, I think it finally paid off.
As far as the Race to the Top Grant, Dr. Webb is using an inflated figure to imply that the teacher's union did something wrong in declining the money.
They did something right. The money was tied to specific uses that included more professional development for teachers, but the rest of which were vague and undefined. The amount of money available was also undefined. The teachers were essentially being asked to sign on to a contract to be filled in with details later. During the mortgage crisis of the last year, didn't we at least learn that one should know what he is signing on for?
The grant program would require an extensive new plan to be formed during the summer. At that time, Youngstown will be developing an extensive new plan with the academic distress commission. I don't know if that is in addition to, or supplementary to the extensive new plan they have had to develop during this year for the state. ENOUGH OF THE EXTENSIVE NEW PAPERWORK PLANS, ODE! The rubber meets the road in the classroom and homes, not in the board planning rooms.
Do you think there is much trust between the teachers and the administration? In too many buildings, when a teacher sends a child to the office for disruption by cussing teacher out with a blue streak, the office calls her back and asks for a witness. The adult teacher does not qualify as a witness.

There seem to be a confusingly large number of Christian churches (Catholic, Lutheran, baptists, evangelicals, Presbyterians). Could someone point me to a good overview that lists the mainstream ones, shows the main doctrinal differences, and also how they map between different countries. For example the German "Evangelische Kirche" seems quite different from the what in the US is called "evangelical".

You can find a fairly comprehensive history of Christian Denominations and their origins on the Wikipedia article for "Christian denomination."

Two Prudential Plaza is a 64-story skyscraper that was built in the Loop area of Chicago, Illinois, United States in 1990. At 995 feet (303 m) tall, it is currently the sixth-tallest building in Chicago and the thirteenth tallest in the United States. The building is also currently the tallest building in the world that is under 1000 feet tall.[1] The building was designed by the firm Loebl, Schlossman & Hackl, with Stephen T. Wright as the principal in charge of design. It has been honored with 8 awards, including winning the Best Structure Award from the Structural Engineers Association of Illinois in 1995.[2]
At the time of completion Two Prudential was the world's tallest reinforced concrete building. Its distinctive shape features stacked chevron setbacks on the north and south sides, a pyramidal peak rotated 45°, and an 80 foot (24 m) spire.
The building is attached to One Prudential Plaza (formerly known as the Prudential Building). Without its spire, the building's height is still slightly greater than that of One Prudential Plaza's pinnacle.[2]
Two Prudential Plaza, along with its sister property One Prudential Plaza, was sold in May 2006 for $470 million to BentleyForbes, a Los Angeles-based real estate investment firm run by Carl Frederick Wehba and his son Carl Frederick Wehba II.
The Consulate-General of Canada in Chicago is located in Suite 2400.[3]
The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office of the Republic of China is on the 57th and 58th floors of the building.[4]
CBS Radio occupies the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th floors, including WBBM, WBBM-FM, WJMK-FM, WXRT, WUSN, WSCR and WCFS
In popular culture[edit]
The building and the plaza appear in the 1994 film Richie Rich as Rich Industries Inc.[5]

We must do somethingApril 24,2013
We must do something
So Gov. Shumlin thinks there is nothing that can be done to protect children from gun violence, so we should not do anything?
Why do we have laws against drug dealing, stealing or any crime? It is useless to have police? Criminals are going to do what they do no matter what. What a cop-out. Politicians are so afraid of adverse reactions from gun owners they will not stand up for what is right. Gun owners are so paranoid about the government taking away their guns. Black helicopters, anyone?
I wonder if the governor lost a child to gun violence he might feel the same way?
I, for one, will not vote for Shumlin again, and I urge voters to use the ballot box to get rid of cowardly politicians.

If this is true, it seems like a big deal.... My feeling about Huckabee is that he isn't any more electable than Romney. On the spectrum of evangelicals, he's just too extreme. The thing about Reagan, Carter, and even GW, is that even if they are evangelicals and perhaps believe some fairly crazy stuff, they are basically moderate evangelicals. Huckabee just seems too nutty to appeal to moderates. Giuliani is the only Republican who scares me.
Huckabee is much less electable than Romney. Much, much, much less. An excellent choice for the Rs.
All that proves is that Huckabee is for the little people. Hes down. He can relate with us common folks. By registering at Target he shows hes willing to shop at the same stores as his voters. He is not a snob. He knows a good value when he sees one. I applaud him for making it easy for us to buy him gifts that are easily accessible and affordable. When he and his wife registered they clearly did so which us in mind. See, hes not even PotUS yet and he already shows how he includes all of American not just the rich and the white.
Naturally, Matt Taibbi got there first. Check out his recent write up of Huckabee, "Mike Huckabee Is Not a Sane Man."
As much as i hate Mike Huckabee i also believe that it would be the best thing for the dems if he were to win the primary, no way in hell he would get elected and we would win!
I agree. Gail Collins belongs in NYT like few do, present company excepted.
That's it, I'm starting a wedding registry at Target, regardless of the fact that we've been married four years. Gift cards welcome!
While I'd like to think that Huckabee is too extreme for America, I just don't trust him. He's this cuddly fucking Republican, and he's all nice and "look at me, I'm a minister! You trust ministers!", but he's a total scumbag still. And lest we forget, America's elected (twice!) an on-the-surface cuddly Republican good ol' boy who is also a total scumbag.
I never understimate the stupidity of white folks who love NASCAR.
R truth is always way worse the lies about D's.
The right wing spread a vicious set of lies about the Clintons stealing White House stuff when leaving.
The D's seem to have no attack wing. This Target stuff about Huckabee is out there and nothing is said. I guess we're "above" all that....."above" actually winning.
It's like Kerry and Edwards not deigning to respond to the attacks he was a coward and a traitor.
"The D's seem to have no attack wing. This Target stuff about Huckabee is out there and nothing is said. I guess we're "above" all that....."above" actually winning."
It's smart politics to save this sort of ammunition for the general -- let the Republicans roll around in this mud together during the primary if they'd like. Whether the Dems will unsheathe the daggers when the time comes remains to be seen, of course.
@8: the Ds have an attack wing, they just don't understand how to turn it off of each other and onto the Rs. The Clinton campaign is getting absolutely nowhere with me right now, courtesy of the Muslim/drug use stories they're "not" circulating.
Me and all my cousins (exceptin maybe Billy Bob) is gonna be votin fer him, because he's such a fine, upright, God-fearin man. We don't pay no nevermind to what you Godless sinners think.
while this was happening (the target stuff). It was said in our local media that while this is distasteful it is not illegal.
Also the fucker who gave him the clothing is Jennings Osbourne. A rich douchbag with a year round christmas light display of an eagle, 50 high american flag with the words GOD BLESS AMERICAN AND GEORGE W BUSH above it. this is in his front yard on a busy street here in Little Rock
A funny note while he was Gov. he had some remodeling done at the mansion. during which he had a TRAILER moved on the grounds and lived in it. Yes he is TRASH.
Someone should take a harder look at the way Mike Huckabee has performed as a FATHER. If he can't lead his children down the path of righteousness, how can he lead our country back to Jesus?
Do some searches on David Huckabee and John Mark Huckabee. It was David, I think, who was arrested for trying to take his loaded Glock onto an airline flight, and who was arrested for slitting a dog's throat.
Nice boy.
@14: hey, he's just asserting his god-given rights to carry a gun anywhere and dominion over all the beasts, you know? Unfortunately, people don't seem to give a shit about animal cruelty unless it's perpetuated by a black guy. There was that story about Romney's dog in the carrier on top of the car, which was told BY HIS SON, and it went nowhere.
God, I hate Republicans.
Smart career move to butter up those NYT ed board members.
If Josh can't get on the P-I, you might have a shot at a job in NY. So strap on those kneepads, Dan! Yes, Gail is just wunnerful!

I am a bit of a wordpress beginner. I am using a plugin "ny-subscribe" to have a subscribe button for the users on my page. I have set up polylang to translate most of the strings but it doesnt translate the "subscribe" text posted to the page.
I did some fishing around in the php files in the plugin and found that the strings are stored in a file called ny-subscribe-functions.php and it looks like:
$admin_fields = array(
'slug' => 'ny_subscribe_field_form_heading',
'type' => 'text',
'label' => __('Form Heading'),
'val' => __('Subscribe')
'slug' => 'ny_subscribe_field_label',
'type' => 'text',
'label' => __('Submit Button text'),
'val' => __('Subscribe')
I have no idea how to add these strings to the polylang list. I tried using the pll_register_string inside of these php functions but it says that the function doesnt exist.
would appreciate any help.

The "free market" has had every chance to address climate change and energy shortage. THEY HAVEN"T. Legilating CO2 Emissions reductions is vital. If we don't show leadership,...IT FLAT WON"T HAPPEN. IF the "Government" had not set the goal of going to moon in 10 years,..and provided the resources, to make it happen,..IT WOULD NOT HAVE happened. The success of the Apollo program was a great example of how govenrment working in cooperation with the private sector can accomplish great things,...they did it,..and did it right,..one of our finest hours. An "Apollo scale directive",...incentives etc cooperation,...are exactly what has "been lacking",...and is exactly what is now called for. A goal,...has to be set.
The free market is great for a lot of things,...progress on things like Climate Change,...Health Care,..are two where "IT STINKS"...There is your "stink test" Atmo.

Tri-County Humane Society houses 80 animals from tornado-ravaged Oklahoma
BOCA RATON, Fla. - The population of Boca Raton has increased by eighty.
The Tri-County Humane Society just got back from tornado-ravaged Oklahoma.
Staffers on a rescue mission brought back eighty animals, 64 dogs and sixteen cats.
It was a twenty-two hour trip and they stopped multiple times along the way.
Many of the animals have ticks and fleas and a few of them show signs of abuse.
The animals were brought to South Florida from shelters in Oklahoma to make room for animals who were made homeless by the storm.
"It says for the human spirit that we all have a heart," said Vladimir Delva of the Tri-County Humane Society. "We are able to touch people anywhere in the country, it doesn't have to be our neighbor, it can be our neighbor all the way across the states."
The hope is to spend the next week rehabbing them and have them ready for adoption in Boca Raton.

Bill Davis Racing has hired 20-year-old Brian Scott as a full-time driver in the 2009 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
The youngster from Boise, Idaho, has competed in 23 truck events the last two seasons. This season, Scott has one top-10 in 16 starts and is 21st in the points.
"We are excited about the addition of Brian Scott to our program," Davis said. "Brian has done a great job this season learning what it takes to win in the truck series and we are looking forward to having him in one of our Toyota Tundra entries in 2009. Our two veteran drivers, Mike Skinner and Johnny Benson, have done a great job mentoring both Scott Speed and Michael Annett, and I think they will both take Brian under their wings."
Bill Davis Racing's truck program has been the most successful in the garage since joining the series in 2004. Since winning its first race in 2005, BDR has amassed 22 victories. The team, based in High Point, N.C., has accumulated 91 top-five and 144 top-10 finishes along with 39 poles.

Irregular BoneAny bone that is not grouped within the other categories of bone such as long, short, or flat is categorized as an irregular bone. With different shapes and such a wide variety, irregular bones serve several different purposes in the body.
|The Vertebra
LocationBecause irregular bone is a category used for bones that simply do not fit in the others, irregular bones can be found in diverse places within the body, mostly down the spine.
Irregular bones include:
FormAll irregular bones differ from one another in size and shape while some match each other in function.
The vertebra make up the vertebral column with a front body section that makes up the vertebral body as well as a back section. With a vertebral arch they support seven processes, four articular, two transverse, and one spinous.
A larger triangle bone at the base of the spine known as the sacrum sits between the two hip bones.
Each of the irregular bones are constructed by spongy bone that is coated by a thin layer of compact bone.
- Protection
- Skeletal muscle anchors
- Support
ProtectionIrregular bones work to protect nervous tissue, such as in the way that vertrbra connected together to make the vertebral column protect the spinal cord. 34 vertbrae, the sacrum, and the coccyx all together construct the vertebral column in order to hold the spinal cord.
SupportIrregular bones in the throat work to support the trachea as well as the pharynx. With the pharynx in the throat posterior to the mouth where both food and air pass through, irregular bones maintain its shape. The trachea further down only passes air to the bronchial tubes where irregular bones perform the same function.

We study space-time block coding for single-carrier block transmissions over frequency-selective multipath fading channels. We propose novel transmission schemes that achieve a maximum diversity of order NtNr(L+1) in rich scattering environments, where Nt (Nr) is the number of transmit (receive) antennas, and L is the order of the finite impulse response (FIR) channels. We show that linear receiver processing collects full antenna diversity, while the overall complexity remains comparable to that of single-antenna transmissions over frequency-selective channels. We develop transmissions enabling maximum-likelihood optimal decoding based on Viterbi's ( 1998) algorithm, as well as turbo decoding. With single receive and two transmit antennas, the proposed transmission format is capacity achieving. Simulation results demonstrate that joint exploitation of space-multipath diversity leads to significantly improved performance in the presence of frequency-selective fading channels.

This question already has an answer here:
I want to show that $$ a_n = \frac{3^n}{n!} $$ converges to zero. I tried Stirlings formulae, by it the fraction becomes $$ \frac{3^n}{\sqrt{2\pi n} (n^n/e^n)} $$ which equals $$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi n}} \left( \frac{3e}{n} \right)^n $$ from this can I conclude that it goes to zero because $\frac{3e}{n}$ and $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi n}}$ approaching zero?

What a difference three decades make. On November 4, 1979, an Iran suffused with revolutionary passions and resentment of American interference in its politics seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, igniting a 14-month hostage crisis that consolidated the power of its revolutionary theocracy and ruptured the country's long alliance with Washington. Thirty years later, the tables have turned almost completely, as the nascent opposition to the Islamic Republic launched a new round of protests to coincide with the regime's annual rallies celebrating the anniversary of the embassy seizure.
The opposition demonstrations appear to have been relatively small and readily repressed by the regime's steadfast shock troops, but their chants of "Death to dictators" provided a powerful rejoinder to the anti-American sloganeering that is the usual fare for official events in the Islamic Republic. Moreover, the persistence of the protests and the endurance of the opposition movement more broadly suggest that Iran's internal crisis, which erupted over the contested outcome of its June 12 presidential elections, is nowhere near an end. Iran's revived unrest comes on the heels of Tehran's apparent about-face on an initial agreement with the international community to export its low-enriched uranium (LEU), a deal which would have at least temporarily abated some of the urgency surrounding the regime's nuclear activities. In a speech yesterday, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, angrily denounced the dialogue with Washington and disparaged the Obama administration's policy of engagement as deceptive and insincere. His speech, along with recent statements by Revolutionary Guard commanders and orthodox defenders of Iran's Islamic system, signaled an even fiercer pugnacity to the regime's domestic opponents. The net result of Khamenei's vitriol, the diplomatic rebuff on the LEU deal and the continued repression at home suggests that Iran's leadership has shifted even further to the right in the months since Iranians greeted the reelection of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with massive protests. Moreover, the erratic course of Iranian policymaking in recent weeks – in particular, Iran's nuclear diplomacy has vacillated from unprecedented pliability to predictable obstinacy – raises the question of whether the elite power struggle is eroding the regime's ideological coherence and bureaucratic competence. Both developments will pose real challenges for the Obama administration and for the international community in formulating a strategy that can succeed in blunting or moderating Iran's nuclear ambitions. With respect to Iran's internal dynamics, the latest demonstrations attest to the creativity and subversive tactics of the opposition, which has adopted the moniker "the Green Path." Faced with a ban on demonstrations that is ferociously enforced, Iran's Green movement has made a virtue of necessity in order to sustain its public profile by co-opting the rituals, pageantry and propaganda of the revolution that brought the regime to power. This strategy has included hijacking Islamic symbolism and even the specific rhetoric of the mobilization that led to the 1979 revolution. In the same vein, the opposition has utilized religious rites — including the 40th-day commemoration of the death of the young woman shot while protesting the election in June — as well as revolutionary celebrations, such as today's events and the regime's annual September rallies to denounce Israel, as powerful mechanisms for discrediting a revolutionary theocracy. This approach has obvious symbolic value and amplifies the value of what have been relatively small-scale events for boosting the Green Path's organization and momentum. The persistence of the protests also vindicates the importance of Iran's much-maligned reform movement, which pressed unsuccessfully for change from within the Islamic system in the late 1990s under the presidency of Mohammad Khatami. Indeed, the investment in incremental change and its subsequent failure, has proven critical in cultivating both the leadership of the opposition movement, and the broader popular willingness to confront the regime than previous existed in Iran. By beginning a conversation about the source of legitimate ruling authority, Iran's reformers revived the country's century-old enthusiasm for revolutionary rule. Today's anti-regime protests represent a natural extension of that discussion and no one grasps that more clearly than Khamenei and the hard-liners. Their suppression of the reformists' modest ambitions in the 1990s, and their abnegation of the votes of Musavi supporters more recently, were underpinned by trepidations that even gradual reform would beget revolution. In fact, it is more likely that just the opposite is the case; the reaction to reform has unleashed dynamics that will eventually culminate in the demise of the absolute authority of Iran's unelected theocratic leader. However, at least as far as an outside observer can gauge, that eventuality remains a long-term prospect for Iran. The Green movement remains largely amorphous; its current leadership comprises moderates who cannot abandon the system that has nurtured them for the past three decades, its partisans have divergent objectives and its strategy for overcoming the regime's entrenchment is unclear. Moreover, the regime has largely succeeded in deterring all but the most committed oppositionists from going to the streets through a harsh crackdown. Still, the long-term trend is unmistakable today — the fury vented a generation ago against America has ricocheted to target its proponents. Revolutionary Iran's founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, trumpeted that the hostage crisis had brought America "to its knees" and his successor Khamenei echoed those words in his recent speech. The fallacy is unmistakable. Instead, eventually, the forces wrought by the Islamic Republic will represent its own undoing.

The nation's record high production of beef, pork and poultry last year is expected to continue in 1995.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Systemic-Onset JRA
In this article
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is a childhood disease that affects the joints. (It's also called juvenile idiopathic arthritis, or JIA). It has several different types. "Systemic-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis" is the rarest form, accounting for just 10%-20% of all JRA cases.
The word "systemic" means that it affects the entire body. The condition causes high, spiking fevers, rash, and joint aches. It usually starts when a child is between 5 and 10 years old. It affects boys and girls equally.
You may also hear it called "Still's disease," named after the English doctor Sir George F. Still, who first recognized the illness in children in the late 1800s.
No one really knows what causes it. Scientists believe it's caused by a faulty immune response, which may be triggered by something else, such as stress, or a viral or bacterial infection.
The classic signs are a very high fever (102 F or higher) and a pale pink or salmon-colored rash, usually on the child's chest and thighs. It's sometimes confused with a bacterial infection, but antibiotics don't help.
The fever tends to spike several times during the day. It usually peaks at night and then improves in the morning. Children also have joint pain, swelling, or both. That can become more painful when their fever is high.
Symptoms come and go over days, weeks, or months. Children with a low fever seem to be fine. When it returns, the child will look and act sick. Children can have "good" days with few or no symptoms, and worse days with flare-ups of more severe symptoms.
The disease also can cause inflammation of the lining of the lung (pleuritis) or lining of the heart (pericarditis), swollen lymph nodes, and an enlarged spleen and liver. Children with the condition may grow more slowly than normal, too.

Politics & Society
August Thu 02, 2012
A woman, Dang Thi Kim Kieng, killed herself by lighting herself on fire to protest against the imprisonment of her daughter. This happened in Bac Lieu, a southern province of Vietnam. The woman chose a significant place, the government offices, to give prominence to her gesture. Her daughter, Maria Ta Phong Tan, a former police officer who is quite well known in his country, and who converted to Catholicism as an adult, was arrested on charges of subversive activity and defamatory writings against the government. This is an accusation that, in a country under a repressive Communist regime, can be triggered very easily. She now faces up to twenty years in prison. Father Bernardo Cervellera, editor of Asianews, contacted by Ilsussidiario.net, describes this as a prime example of the suffocating control that the regime maintains over the population: "In a country where there is censorship of everything, any criticism, even a note that is benevolent toward the party, it is clear that the attitude of this government is dictatorial. The point is that the government definitely does not want to find themselves in front of someone who tells them that they have done something wrong".Father Cervellera, what is the situation of the Church like in Vietnam? Can one compare it to the situation in China? For example, are the bishops appointed by the central government?No, the situation is slightly better than in China. Currently, the Holy See always has the last word, though the government, within a shortlist of candidates proposed by the Vietnamese Church and the Vatican, states their preferences. In China today, instead, there is no such possibility, and all nominations are carried out by the government.Are missionaries free to work in Vietnam? There are people working, but they are not officially missionaries. For example, there are people who work as lay people in various organizations, for example in social services, who come from abroad.What does the local church do? They do the same activities as all other churches. The difference is that each activity, the masses, the catechism, the meetings of the faithful, is completely controlled by the government. The Vietnamese religious regulations, to be clear, are established by the regime, as well as the list of things for which one must ask permission.Do you have to ask permission for everything? Here is an example: a bishop must ask for permission even to make a pastoral visit to his diocese. Thus, the government exercises a huge amount of control over the life of the Church and the faithful.Can you describe the missionary activity of the local Church?

King of Elitists Explains Why It's Okay That Barack Obama Is an Elitist
Lewis Lapham schools us on the meaning of elitist, and why it shouldn't be a pejorative.
Lewis Lapham, oil heir, former Harper's editor, and founder of the wonderfully pretentious journal Lapham's Quarterly, will be on Bloomberg TV tonight. During the interview, a portion of which was e-mailed to us, he is asked about whether he thinks Barack Obama is an elitist — we guess in the same spirit that interviewers asked Jesse Jackson and the Reverend Al Sharpton the black questions. Lapham gives a kind of awesome, elitist response:
"He's an elitist, but he's an elitist in the same way that the founders of the American Republic were elitist. Washington, Jefferson, Adams … these were elitist and recognized as such. There was no down connotation. The whole use of the word elitism is a little confused. We usually use it as a pejorative. In the last quarter of the 18th century, it meant accomplishment, it meant capacity, it meant the ability to learn and that is a distinguishing feature of Obama. Here is a man who can learn."
Isn't that fantastic? Also, we bet Obama is really thankful he has Lapham in his corner on this one. Below is a link to the podcast.

Once again, you lack any knowledge. Intel is not solely in the "old computer market"... You do understand they have 90%+ of the server market, right? They own a huge chunk of the SSD market. While desktop sales are declining, they're still doing very well. Clearly they are innovators which virtually all companies in the world depend on. This is a known fact. Yes, they started too late on mobile, so they did fail there, but they have succeeded virtually everywhere else, and in a big way!
Cheetah, it's clear you have no clue what you're talking about. 3D Xpoint is a game changer. You clearly don't understand what it takes to qualify the technology for general use. This takes time to do all the validation and certifications. Figure it out and invest here. $10 is a bargain. This time next year this will probably be trading in the $15-$20 range. You seem to be stuck here bashing the company repeatedly. Why is that? What are you gaining by the constant bashing? Do you really have no life?
surely you have no idea what you're talking about. Are you talking about 3D Xpoint when referring to 3D NAND? you do realize it's not NAND, right?
The best time to invest is before the company solves all its problems. Xpoint is a huge deal. If you can't see that, then you can miss the opportunity before you today.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I'm back in. Strong $10.50 support. Should see $11.50 by EOW. Then possibly back to $10.50 again next week. Rinse, wash, repeat.

Today's rise all hype. AAPL news bringing down the market tomorrow. Sorry for the new longs.
Apple is projected to announce double digit declines qtr/qtr. This does not bode well for anyone connected to AAPL
But yet, it is still declining. Prices on DRAM aren't going up. Yes, the rate of decline is much less this year but still declining.
