I really like how the cover fits my seats so well. It tucks in all around the seats except on the door side of the front seats. I'm very pleased. They look better than my regular seats did. They don't look like they are a seat cover. They look like they are the actual seat cover.

Will refugees be protected from climate change?
This post follows up on episode 5 of the MissionCreep podcast.
You may remember hearing about a family of four from Tuvalu who fled their country, moved to New Zealand and applied for protected status or residency last year. They claimed that if they were returned to Tuvalu, their life would be endangered and they'd be subject to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. The family stated that they had no land or relatives in Tuvalu, that the father could not find a job there and that they had a lack of access to drinking water. The difference between this and many other asylum cases is that the main perpetrator wasn't other people or groups; it was climate change and the resulting sea level rise.

COLUMBUS, Ga. ---- The Southern States Athletics Conference released its regular season softball awards at the conference's postseason banquet, with 10 members from Auburn Montgomery receiving recognition.
First-Team All-Conference selections for Cassie Daniels, Emma Johansen, Jyssica Pepper and Katie Spain highlighted the night for AUM.
In addition, Laci Driggers was named to the All-Division team, Kayla Hale, Taylor Powell and Lauren Shaw made the All-Freshmen team, and Daniels, Spain and Rachel Stuart earned a spot on the All-Academic team. Holly Saint was the Warhawks' representative on the Musco Lighting Champions of Character team.
AUM landed four players on the all-conference team for the first time since its debut season in 2009, while the three freshmen recognized was the most in program history.
Daniels leads the Warhawk pitching staff with a 17-3 record and 175 strikeouts in 129 1/3 innings. She was a four-time conference pitcher of the week award winner, and her 17 wins are the most in AUM single-season history. The Valley Grande native tossed her first career no-hitter against top-10 Belhaven on April 20. She has struck out at least 10 batters six different times this season.
A secondary education major, Daniels currently maintains a 3.67 grade-point average. To qualify for the All-Academic team, student-athletes must maintain a 3.25 cumulative GPA or better and have completed three terms at the institution.
Johansen is currently second on the team in batting average, hitting .396 for the year. Her on-base percentage of .462 is tops on the team, giving the Warhawks a steady presence at the bottom of the lineup. She has 11 multi-hit games, including a four-hit performance against Talladega on February 21. The Johnson City, Ill., native has 33 runs scored and eight RBIs.
Pepper earned all-conference honors for the second-straight season. She has set new career-highs with six home runs, six triples and 38 RBIs batting from the No. 3 spot in the lineup. Her .376 average is third-best on the team, and she is tied for first with eight stolen bases. She earned her first career player of the week award on March 11. The Madison native drove in at least three runs on four separate occasions, and her 14-game hitting streak from March 2-18 is the longest for a Warhawk in 2013.
Spain has already broken the AUM single-season records for home runs (13) and RBIs (51). She leads the Warhawks in batting average (.399) and is tied for first with 11 doubles. The Whittier, Calif., native also has a team-best 17 multi-hit games and 13 multi-RBI games. She has a pair of five RBI performances against Talladega (Feb. 21) and Mobile (April 23), and was named conference player of the week on February 25.
The sophomore third baseman currently has a 3.46 GPA as a secondary education major, earning a spot on the All-Academic team in her first eligible season.
Driggers made her second-straight all-division appearance. She is one of three Warhawks to start every game, and she is third on the team with nine home runs. For the year, the Leeds native is hitting .340 with 11 doubles, 38 RBIs and a team-high 41 runs scored. She has 12 multi-RBI games, including a season-high four RBIs at Mobile on March 29.
Hale has made an impact both at the plate and on the mound. She had the best offensive single-game performance in AUM history against Embry-Riddle on March 18, racking up three hits and a team-record eight RBIs. The Montgomery native is second on the team with 10 home runs and 41 RBIs. As a pitcher, she is 8-3 with a 1.88 earned-run average, including a complete-game 14-strikeout gem at Emmanuel on April 12.
Powell leads the team with a 1.49 ERA, accumulating a 13-2 record with 75 strikeouts over 94 innings pitched. She has five complete games, including two shutouts, and did not allow a run in her first 29 2/3 innings this season. Powell was named conference pitcher of the week on April 1 after a pair of wins over Mobile and Spring Hill. At the plate, the Alabaster native has added a pair of home runs and seven RBIs.
Shaw has made 30 appearances for the Warhawks, including 22 starts, and she currently has a .270 average with a home run and three doubles. The Cumming, Ga., native hit her first career home run at Belhaven on April 5, and has a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage as a catcher.
Stuart has been a catalyst for the Warhawks from the leadoff position, hitting .321 with four triples and 17 RBIs. She is a perfect 8-for-8 in stolen bases attempts, and leads the team by a wide margin with 15 sacrifices. The Dora native hit her first career home run against William Carey on April 21. A secondary education major, she currently has a 3.64 grade-point average. Stuart is a three-time member of the All-Academic team, and she was a NAIA Scholar Athlete as a junior.
The Champions of Character team is selected based on student-athlete's adherence to the five core NAIA values of respect, responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship. One of five seniors on the team, Saint has provided steady leadership behind the plate for a pitching staff with a collective ERA of 1.68. She has started 22 games, while appearing in 37 games overall. The Wetumpka native has five hits in 13 at bats with a pair of RBIs, and has a .995 fielding percentage.
The Warhawks enter the SSAC tournament as the top seed from the West Division. AUM begins play at 8 p.m. tomorrow against the winner of Southern Wesleyan/Mobile. That game will be played at Noon.

Campbellsville's Lady Tigers fiddled away a first-half lead, drew even early in the second half, but could not maintain their momentum, losing to the home-standing St. Catharine's Lady Patriots 75-61 Saturday afternoon.
Campbellsville built an early 11-4 lead on threes by Courtney Clifton (two) and Mackenzie Lee. But, CU would not hit another three the entire game and shot 27 percent from the field. As a matter of fact, after hitting four of its first six shots, CU went 3-22 the rest of the half. The Lady Tigers hit 16-58 shots from the field.
Campbellsville University's Tigers, playing some of their best basketball of the season, dismantled St. Catharine College and came away with its fourth straight win 71-58 Saturday in Springfield.
The Tigers, who hit 5-7 on three-pointers in the first half while the Patriots (0-17) were shooting blanks, burst out to a 37-17 lead at the half.
SCC closed to within 39-26 two and a half minutes into the second half, but CU responded with a 10-3 run of its own, punctuated by a fall-away three by Cedric Henderson as the shot clock was winding down.

Secretary-General's remarks to the High-level Dialogue on Financing for Development
New York, 23 March 2010Thank you, Mr. President, Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am pleased to address this high-level meeting on Financing for Development.
Before I begin, I would like to welcome the presence of His Excellency the Prime Minister of Tajikistan, Mr. Oqil Oqilov.
As we meet, the world economy shows signs of recovery, yet growth remains fragile. Job losses persist. Human costs are high in all regions.
Despite many challenges, donor countries must sustain official development assistance levels and ensure their own recovery efforts do not burden others.
At the same time, many developing countries will need additional assistance to stimulate their economies and expand social protection for those worst affected.
International institutions have a key role to play. Better access to financing can help relieve the pain of economic adjustment.
I welcome the efforts of the IMF to improve its lending framework and the support from G20 leaders to expand IMF lending capacity.
However, much more needs to be done.
Vulnerable countries must not be hampered by onerous conditions or burdensome external debt.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Last June, the United Nations Conference on the world financial and economic crisis emphasized that short-term responses to the crisis must be in harmony with longer-term development goals.
This is a major thrust of the nine joint crisis initiatives established by the United Nations Chief Executives Board for Coordination, known as the CEB.
These measures include immediate steps to address the impact of the economic downturn, as well as longer-term measures to generate decent work and lead to more equitable and sustainable development.
In June, we will introduce a prototype of the Global Impact and Vulnerability Alert System, and we are working to strengthen coordination between our UN country teams and the Bretton Woods institutions.
Member State support for these efforts is crucial.
We continue to face immense development challenges.
The Millennium Development Goals are at the top of our agenda. The MDG Summit this September will decide on a plan of action to meet the 2015 deadline.
My report, "Keeping the promise," provides a forward-looking review to accelerate progress in the next five years.
We know it is possible – the world has seen MDG successes in numerous countries, including some of the poorest.
We also know what it takes: the right policies, adequate investment and international support.
The fundamental rethinking triggered by the economic and financial crisis provides the international community with a rare opportunity for reform – reform that can ensure more stable growth, job creation and sustainable development.
It requires adequate policy space for developing countries, so they can undertake the primary responsibility for their own development.
The Monterrey Consensus and Doha Declaration on Financing for Development are central.
A true partnership for development can only be achieved through a combination of investment, trade, aid, debt relief and global economic governance reforms.
The international community must deliver on the development objectives of the Doha round of trade negotiations.
We need to reform the international financial system and architecture.
We need better mechanisms to coordinate economic policy with representative, accountable and equitable governance.
I welcome the ongoing reforms of the Bretton Woods institutions to ensure legitimacy and increased effectiveness.
These reforms should be ambitious and timely. And they should significantly enhance the voice and participation of developing countries.
Investment spending must support sustainable development. Many developing countries will need considerable external assistance in this regard, as part of the Global Green New Deal.
We must also continue to press for a binding international agreement on climate change.
The Copenhagen Accord called for new and additional predictable resources over the next decade.
I have established a High-Level Advisory Group on Climate Change Financing to develop proposals on how to scale up long-term financing for mitigation and adaptation in developing countries.
It will deliver its recommendations before the next Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC in Mexico in December.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The United Nations has an important role to play in ensuring a robust and inclusive intergovernmental process to realize international commitments on financing for development and meeting the Millennium Development Goals.
I trust this biennial High-level Dialogue of the General Assembly will provide a strong impetus in all areas of this vital task.
I wish you a productive meeting.
Thank you very much.

That said, here's an annoyance: In 2.0.6, the rich editor allowed Firefox's built-in spellcheck to operate. I liked this, as it did not require the hitting of a button, as I am now forced to do in WP2.1.
So, in short, I want my post textarea to play nice with Firefox 2's built-in spellcheck again.

text: The Team Rocket wiki last edited by jazz1987 on 01/28/15 10:41AM View full history Team Rocket is a large, villainous group that specialize in stealing Pokémon and trying to take over the world. Their leader is Giovanni, who, ironically, is also the 8th and final gym leader. In the anime, the main protagonist Ash and his friends often find trouble in the form of low-ranking Team Rocket goons Jesse, James and their talking Meowth. Though they are dedicated members to the Rocket cause, they are not portrayed truly evil, and are mainly there for laughs and humorous interruptions. Due to the trio's mechanical genius, they often build machines and attempt to steal Ash's Pikachu, but always end up failing and getting launched into the horizon. Despite this, they are quite persistent and follow Ash through each of his journeys, trying again and again, but failing each and every time.In the games, Team Rocket is the primary antagonist group in the first couple gens, and again in SoulSilver and HeartGold. The player must complete several storylines and battle through their ranks. However, there is no Jesse, James or talking Meowth in the games.Other Team Rocket Members (known)JesseJamesMeowthButchCassidyAtilaHunTysonDr. NambaDominoProfessor SabastianIron Masked MarauderMiayamotoGiovanni Team Rocket MottoEvery time the trio of Rockets announce their presence, they will preform their trademark motto.

Amylin Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly confirmed European Commission approval of the GLP-1 receptor agonist Byetta® (exenatide twice-daily) as an adjunctive therapy to basal insulin, with or without metformin and/or pioglitazone (Actos®) for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes whose disease isn't otherwise adequately controlled. FDA approved Byetta as an add-on therapy to insulin glargine back in October 2011.
Clearance in Europe was based primarily on data from a 30-week clinical trial in which Byetta or placebo was added to patient's existing insulin glargine-based therapy (i.e., with or without metformin/pioglitazone or both). The results showed that after 30 weeks of therapy, patients receiving Byetta exhibited a statistically significant reduction in A1C from baseline, and in addition an average of 4 lb in weight loss. In contrast, patients continuing to receive their optimized insulin glargine-based regimen plus placebo gained about 2 lb in weight.
Lilly and Amylin ended their thirteen-year exenatide collaboration in November 2011, with a deal that effectively settled any outstanding litigation. Under terms of the deal Amylin is now responsible for all exenatide product development and commercialization worldwide, although Lilly will work with the firm on plans for non-U.S. markets during a transition period. Amylin paid Lilly $250 million up front for global rights to the drug, and will also be eligible to make revenue-sharing payments of $1.2 billion.

British officials are defending their plans for
commemorations of World War I amid fears recognition of New
Zealand's role could fall victim to an "Anzac whitewash".
A spokeswoman for the British Department for Culture, Media
and Sport said the UK would be commemorating the "huge
contribution and sacrifices made by members of Armed Forces
from Britain, Australia, New Zealand and other Commonwealth
countries" during centenary events over the next four years.
British First World War Commemorations Minister Helen Grant
recently met High Commissioners from both New Zealand and
Australia to discuss the commemorations, the spokeswoman
"We are clear that Britain could not have prevailed without
the contribution of our Commonwealth partners and our plans
for the centenary will fully reflect that."
There are fears domestic politics could drive British
officials to gloss over New Zealand's role in World War I, in
what some are calling an "Anzac whitewash"
British government sources confirmed that internal briefings
on World War I commemorations did not mention Australia or
New Zealand once. Instead, staff from departments and Cabinet
offices had been told to concentrate on other British Empire
contributions by soldiers from countries such as Nigeria,
India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Australian media reports the "Anzac whitewash" is driven by a
bid to win political and economic favour in multicultural
"It's basically to remind Britons the First World War wasn't
just soldiers from here fighting in France and Belgium but
involved people from Lagos, Kingston and the Punjab," a
government insider told News Corp. "There has been no mention
of old Commonwealth allies like Australia or New Zealand but
more interest in celebrating the role from new Commonwealth
countries. I think it's fair to say Commonwealth ties are
being frayed a little on this one."
British author and commentator Murray Rowlands is quoted as
saying it was a disgrace New Zealand and Australia's efforts
were being ignored.
"The British pretty much lost the war in July 1918, they were
in retreat, and it was the Australians and New Zealanders who
got put into the gap."
Arts, Culture and Heritage Minister Chris Finlayson who is in
charge of New Zealand's commemorations said he had met his
British counterparts a couple of times, "and nothing of the
sort's been raised". However he added that if they intended
to "whitewash us out of history" they were unlikely to tell
him so.
Former Labour Defence and Foreign Affairs Minister Phil Goff
said he hoped New Zealand wouldn't be ignored in Anzac
Mr Goff said with about 100,000 New Zealanders mobilised
during the war out of a population of barely a million at the
time, of which 18,000 were killed and 60,000 wounded, "there
was scarcely a family left untouched in New Zealand and we
imagine the British will be fair and acknowledge that point".
RSA national president Don McIver said that with centenary
preparations he had been involved in "there has been a strong
spirit of co-operation and understanding between all those
nations who were involved in the conflict".
Massey University military historian Glyn Harper said he felt
the News Corp report was an overreaction.
Lest we forget ...
British World War I centenary commemorations
• Begin with "Memories of August 1914" which takes place in
late July in Liverpool.
• A national series of commemorative events starts on August
4 with a service for Commonwealth leaders at Glasgow
Cathedral, an event at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission
St Symphorien Military Cemetery in Mons, Belgium, and a
candlelit vigil at Westminster Abbey.
• The English Premier League is to build a football pitch in
the Belgian city of Ypres, the site of one of the war's major
battles, by November 2014. The pitch will host a tournament
marking the 100th anniversary of the Christmas Truce in 1914.
New Zealand commemorations
• Begin in earnest on April 25, 2015, with a commemoration of
the Anzac landings at Gallipoli.
• Te Papa will hold a major exhibition starting this year
including a 200sq m reconstruction of trenches at Gallipoli.
• A centenary programme at Auckland War Memorial Museum
including online projects, annual programmes and
commemorative events.
• A Field of Remembrance project with white crosses to be
placed at sites throughout the country to commemorate the
fallen. They will be brought together in 2018 at Wellington's
Westpac Stadium.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
I think we should remember that many New Zealanders are
descendants of people who were born in Europe and other
countries after each world war. After World War 2 for
instance, many Austrians, Germans, Dutch, English and other
nationalities settled here. Recently many from the
Pacific Islands have settled here. Most of these people
are descended from those who were not members of ANZAC during
World War 1. In reality, descendants from both sides of
the conflict. We celebrate the ANZACs and that is well
and good, but it can exclude many others. Both my
uncles (aged 16) and my father fought for another country
against the Axis Powers in World War 2 for instance, yet I am
a New Zealander. The ANZAC spirit is great for what it
represents, but I feel the 100 year commemorations here
should also include all those who served and suffered in
World War 1 and not just the ANZAC contribution so that it
represents the broad base of the New Zealand population as it
exists today.
We don't require further recoginition of our contribution and
sacrifices made. Every Australian and New Zealander is well
aware of what we achieved.
We will stand alongside our ANZAC partner, Australia, and
remember them, regardless of what happens in mother England.
Isn't it time we severed those apron strings anyway?
Lest We Forget.
No need to worry. Some other commonwealth contributions
have been all but whitewashed from official British
history- including the Union of South Africa and Southern
Rhodesia's significant contributions and losses during World
War 1 on the Western front and in the German East and
Southern African colonies. The Battle of Delville
Wood has seemingly been forgotten - as part of the Battle of
the Somme in 1916. The South African Brigade suffered losses
of 80%, yet they managed to hold the Wood as ordered. This
feat has been described as "...the bloodiest battle hell of
1916. So we shouldn't feel left out - other
countries have also suffered this fate. My father
actually fought for the South African forces in North Africa
and Italy and when I have mentioned this here in New Zealand
I have often been met with "oh, I didn't know they had fought
in any of the world wars". So ignorance is pretty
much widespread.

Dear All,
Can any one guide me what is/can be the forthcoming role of Company Secretary in the arena of Goods and Service Tax
Thanks & Regards,
Purna Salian
Hi Purna,
I don't see any positive role of a CS in GST upcoming. What I found CS involved in more corporate compliance than taxation and aligned matters. Even for a practicing CS also I don't see or I am unable to see any scope of CS.
This is just my view and experience which can always be wrong because I can not decide a spectrum of any professional. Actually no body can!

Two easy methods to simulate the mortar lines and other color variations on any molded brick wall surface. It works with any plastic kit, as well as with resin or cast plaster brick kits.
By Robert Schleicher
Keep a damp rag or paper towel handy so you can quickly wipe over the surface of the bricks to remove a bit more of the mortar color. Use this technique to provide subtle variations in the lightness of the bricks that show through the grey wash by rubbing more or less in different areas of the wall. Later, a wash of brick red can be applied for another variation in overall wall color.
Molded brick (and stone) surfaces are just one of the many intricate details that are effectively rendered in plastic in the various model structure kits in N, HO and 0 scales. This same type of brick detail is also available as injection-molded sheets of solid brick surfaces (or stone or shingles/roof tiles) from firms like Kibri, Vollmer and Faller as displayed in the various Walthers catalogs.
One of the better kept secrets of the hobby, however, are the molded plastic brick sheets produced by Plastruct. These sheets are available in a variety of brick, stone and shingle surfaces in most scales (including G). The advantage of this particular brand (available to any hobby dealer) is that the sheets are not molded in the same manner as the walls in kits or the blank wall sheets from Kibri, Faller and Vollmer. The Plastruct sheets can be used like the plain plastic sheets from Evergreen (Plastruct also offers plain plastic sheet, by the way). You can lightly scribe or score a line on the surface, then bend the plastic over a square table or board, and the plastic will break cleaning along the line (this is the "snap out" technique shown in the July 1990 issue). If you try that with the molded plastic brick from Faller, Kibri or Vollmer, or with any of the kits (except the kits produced with Evergreen sheet styrene walls like Ever green's own and the new Howard Zane kits shown on page 3 of the November 1990 issue), the plastic will bend rather than break, and if you force it, the plastic tears into ragged layers or laminations. The only way to cut those molded plastic walls or sheets is with a razor or scroll saw, and that takes some effort. The article in the July 1990 issue explains the near-effortless techniques, with photos of each and every step, to "snap-out" walls, window and door openings and roofs from sheet styrene. Those techniques will also work with Plastruct's brick sheets.
The articles in the December 1990 and January 1991 issues by John Nehrich describe how to use the thin Holgate & Reynolds brick, stone and shingle sheets with the same "snap-out" technique with the H&R sheets, however, a second wall is required to reinforce the outer walls (that's what's explained in those articles). The Plastruct sheets are thick enough to be self supporting.
Painting Mortar
None of these kit walls or brick or stone sheets are ready to use without some additional painting. Most of the kits and the various brick sheets are molded in colors near enough a brick shade. Usually that is red, but a few kits have yellow or beige brick. Red, grey, yellow and beige are available in the solid sheets of brick from Kibri, Faller, Vollmer and Plastruct. For these products, the "missing" color is that of the mortar. The indentations are there to show where the mortar lies, and in N scale, that is sometimes enough. For HO or larger size bricks or stone, however, the mortar is a visible line of slightly lighter (or occasion ally darker) material. Note that I said "slightly." Though mortar is grey or white, it takes on some of the color of the surrounding brick or stone, if only as a reflection. The most effective color for modeling mortar, then, is usually a light to medium grey (unless you are modeling a specific building with black or other unusual mortar colors), thinned to produce a "wash" that, when applied, allows some of the underlying color to show through the grey. Thin any paint with about 19 parts thinner to one part paint. Use acrylics or Polly S for this, with water as the thinner, and add a drop or two of detergent to cut the surface tension of the water so it will flow more freely and with less puddling. Start with too thin a color - too little paint and too much thinner - and if the effect is too subtle apply a second coat. If the effect is too light (that is, the mortar color covers the darker brick color) when you first apply it, rinse the paint off immediately and mix more thinner into the paint before trying again.
Painting Brick
There are many techniques for painting brick surfaces. The method of simply using a "wash" that automatically applies mortar color and tones down the brick is by far the easiest and quickest. If you have a brick material, like Holgate & Reynolds, that is white, simply spray it the color of brick you prefer. It's wise to match the brick color to a real building, but a mixture of about equal parts Floquil Caboose Red and Roof Brown should be a place to start in matching the color - add more or use less red and add black or white if necessary to come closer to dries, simply proceed with the wash of mortar color.

I saw similar questions, but this a bit different. Namely, I am trying to make a backup of Ubuntu server with RAID on it. I want to backup complete configuration since that I recently had a problem starting up Server because power-cut messed up partitions and I couldn't start server at all.
I've done same backups with servers before (successfully), but those machines were without RAID and use the following command (from Ubuntu forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087).
tar cvpjf backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/proc \
--exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tar.bz2 \
--exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude-media /
I will also exclude a couple of folders on Server (mounted a couple USB HDDs), such as
--/backup_folder1, /backup_folder2, etc
So, my question is: Am I doing the correct exclusions or making same mistake (simply don't want to find out in a harder way and stop almost entire company because I miseed something)?

Media Following the Money
posted by November 20 at 11:36 AMon
Back in March, a media expert named John McManus told me that he sees a journalistic future in which newspapers are outpaced by specialty blogs.
He envisions newsrooms being "depopulated" as these online ventures become profitable through advertising revenue and "micropayments" (charging, say, five cents a view for certain newsy offerings). Getting there is going to involve "a pretty bumpy middle," McManus says, but on the other side could be work for newspaper employees… who may lose their current jobs in the transition.
Today, just nine months after McManus made that prediction, the Washington Post lost two of its top political reporters to… a new specialty blog. (Actually, it's being described as a "multi-platform company," one that is "anchored on the Web" and "just does politics.")
I don't understand the business model yet, but the yet-to-be-named venture has been given a ton of cash by something called Albritton Communicationsenough cash, apparently, to make salary offers that two of the most highly-paid and respected political journalists in the business couldn't refuse.
They've been given an impressive budget to go out and hire roughly six additional top, top political reporters (expect another big announcement/hire soon) at salaries competitive with those at the nation's top newspapers. They are currently in talks to steal away top reporters from networks, magazines and newspapers… [The aim is] to take on the political coverage of the Washington Post and the New York Times.
Yet another thing for newspapers to worry about: Blogs with enough cash to poach their best reporters.

Hi, I'd like to have a slider of featured products on my shopping site.
WooCommerce seems to refer to something called 'featured products' but I cant find anywhere how you set this up. So my questions are: How to I mark products as 'featured'. And once I do, how to I get them on the front page?
I have found a 'featured products' widget that I have dragged into the sidebar, and I have also tried adding to a page:
[featured_products per_page="12" columns="4"]
Under my theme setting (I'm using 'Wootique') I have set 'Home page featured products' to 'Slider' and under Settings > Reading, I have FrontPage = 'Shop'
I am a complete WordPress newbie by the way so please dont assume I should have already done something obvious.

By Jim Hinnant, U.S. Army Forces Command Public AffairsSeptember 11, 2009
FORT McPHERSON, Ga. Aca,!aEURc A "packed house" of Army civilians from U.S. Army Forces Command, U.S. Army Reserve Command and the Ft. McPherson Garrison filled the Kerwin Conference Room at the FORSCOM Headquarters, here, for a Base Realignment and Closure Transition Symposium for Civilian Employees, Sept. 2-3.
An estimated audience of more than 350 employees attended as many as four information sessions designed to assist them in making final decisions on whether to relocate to Ft Bragg, N.C. when FORSCOM and USARC headquarters depart here beginning in early 2011 and Ft. McPherson closes Sept. 15 of that year.
Topics such as the Department of Defense Priority Placement Program, the Interagency Career Transition Assistance Program and employment with the State of Georgia were presented, with open question and answer periods following each session.
"Feedback indicates the sessions were informative and useful to our employees," said Troy E. (Gil) Gilleland, a member of the Senior Executive Service and FORSCOM\'s Deputy G1, in a message recapping the first day's activities. "Our focus on the first day was on employees continuing their employment with DOD; the second day's topics are for those who may want to seek employment with other federal agencies or the State of Georgia."
According to FORSCOM's leadership, the ultimate goal is to have people make the decision to move to North Carolina and continue to serve the more than 800,000 Soldiers, and their families, who make up the Army's largest command.
The number of employees deciding to make the move northeast is on the increase, said FORSCOM's deputy commanding general, Lt. Gen. Joseph F. Peterson, during an Aug. 26 staff briefing.
Peterson said initial surveys conducted following the announcement of the BRAC decision reflected about 30 percent of the command's civilian employees planned to move with the headquarters, and that now the number is approaching 50 percent.
To continue the upward trend, more activities are planned here. A "Families in Transition Expo" for all Fort McPherson Soldiers, Army civilians and families is planned for Sept. 23 at The Commons.
The Expo will feature representatives from some of the same agencies as the symposium, but will also include key people from most of the counties surrounding Ft. Bragg, educational facilities and other service providers.
According to Larris Marks, FORSCOM's Civilian Human Resources Advisor for BRAC, other information-sharing events are in the works.
"We are planning a mid-October workshop where will have subject matter experts available for all our Army civilians, whether they plan to move to North Carolina or stay in the Atlanta area," Marks said. "We'll have representatives who will be able to discuss permanent change of station allowances and benefits, the DOD National Relocation Program; and counselors who will meet with employees one-on-one to advise them on retirement eligibility and benefits." she said.
Was the Transition Symposium worthwhile' Based on attendance and insight from at least one FORSCOM civilian employee, the answer is a resounding "yes."
"It (the Symposium) actually gave employees the opportunity to ask one-on-one direct questions in an open forum, and get answers from the professionals," said Larry Jones, an information technology specialist with FORSCOM G-6.
"For those who maybe didn't want to speak out, the experts took their questions on the side," Jones continued. "The event cleared up some rumors and misconceptions."
Jones plans to make the transition to Fort Bragg as a member of the FORSCOM team. "I have definitely decided to relocate," he said.

Mexican Peso Rises as Greece Optimism Boosts Economic Confidence
Mexico's peso gained for a second day as optimism that Greece will get a bailout reduced concern about global growth, fueling confidence in the expansion of Latin America's second-biggest economy.
The peso rose 0.5 percent to 12.7593 per U.S. dollar at the close in Mexico City, from 12.8174 yesterday. It has gained 0.3 percent this week, and 9.2 percent this year.
Emerging-market currencies rose against the dollar as investors speculated that euro-area officials are nearing an agreement on a bailout for Greece. U.K. retail sales unexpectedly rose for a second month in January. The index of U.S. leading indicators rose in January for a fourth month, signaling the world's largest economy will keep expanding through the first half of 2012. The U.S. is the destination for about 80 percent of Mexican exports.
"There's good data in Europe, in particular in the U.K.," Rafael Camarena, a Mexico City-based economist at Banco Santander SA, said by phone. "If the European economy improves, the global economy also could feel the impact -- the U.S. and Mexico."
Mexico central bank Governor Agustin Carstens said this week that that economic growth expectations for the Latin American country haven't fallen, maintaining his forecasts for expansion this year and next of 3 percent to 4 percent.
Euro-area governments closed in on a deal to unlock a 130 billion-euro ($171 billion) aid package for Greece, seeking to avert the region's first sovereign default. Germany, the biggest country contributor to euro-area rescues, signaled that finance ministers may be ready to back Greece's second bailout in two years when they meet Feb. 20 in Brussels.
The yield on peso-denominated debt due in 2024 rose three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 6.5 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The price of the securities fell 0.29 centavo to 130.39 centavos per peso.
