Group Battles to Save AP Italian Program
The battle to preserve the Italian language scored another victory Tuesday.
The Columbus Citizens Foundation pledged $500,000 to help bring back an Advanced Placement Italian language and culture program.
The AP Italian exam was discontinued starting this month due to low numbers of testers and financial losses, according to a January 2009 announcement by the College Board, the nonprofit that administers the exam.
High scores on AP exams allow high school students to earn college credit. Currently, language exams offered include Spanish, French, German, Latin, Japanese and Chinese.
Since the news of the exam's cancellation, the Italian community has scrambled to raise the necessary $3 million endowment to reinstate the exam. The effort is spearheaded by Dr. Margaret Cuomo, president of the Italian Language Foundation, and her mother, Matilda, former first lady of New York. Dr. Cuomo is also sister to Andrew Cuomo, who announced his bid for New York governor over the weekend.
"Language is a part of our culture," says Frank Fusaro, president of the Columbus Citizens Foundation, a New York-based nonprofit focused on the preservation Italian-American heritage and culture.
"When the great Italian immigration happened in America, [that generation] was focused on assimilation. They wanted their kids to speak English. A lot of the language was lost in that transition."
The Columbus Citizens Foundation gives an additional $2 million annually in scholarships to more than 700 Italian-American students, kindergarten to university levels. The group also funds approximately 100 Italian-American students to study in a summer immersion program in Italian at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn., each year. Its Franco Zeffirelli Scholarship Fund for the Arts allows Italian students to study in New York, as well.
However, the Foundation is probably best known to New Yorkers for its fall Columbus Day Parade along Fifth Avenue, which began in 1929. Other philanthropic efforts have included funds for families of Iraq War veterans and relief for earthquake victims in Italy and Turkey.
So far, with the Columbus Citizens donation, $1 million has been raised, with additional funds pledged from the Italian government. The government's donation totals $1.5 million, with $500,000 distributed over three years, contingent that other Italian organizations match the funds.
Essentially, the exam is one-third funded now, with logistic hoops, including teacher recruitment, still ahead. It's still unclear when the exam could be reinstated, but Mr. Fusaro says he's "confident" about its future. His group continues to lobby other Italian organization groups for AP Italian funding.
The College Board was unable to comment. The exam's comeback couldn't come sooner enough for Ida Giampietro Wilder, who has taught Italian for more than 30 years at Greece Athena High School in Rochester, N.Y. When she heard of the exam's discontinuation last year, she put 10 students on a fast track to take the exam a year early and an additional 20 were in her advanced course this year and planned take the exam. "It's important for these kids to get the credit," says Ida Giampietro Wilder.

'The Cadillac XLR-V Has Performance As Sharp As Its Angular Styling'
I never understood the logic behind the Cadillac XLR. I mean, it had this great aggressive Art and Science design, but why would anyone buy it over the Corvette it was based on?
I never understood the logic behind the Cadillac XLR. I mean, it had this great aggressive Art and Science design, but why would anyone buy it over the Corvette it was based on?
The Godfather Roadster's an event horizon of chrome, white-wall tires and bad taste so profound you cannot see the Cadillac XLR upon which it's based. It's on eBay for $50,000 and bidders have yet to hit the reserve.
A cost many forget when buying a new car is that with different cars come different insurance prices. Want to know why? We'll show you with this list of the 20 most expensive cars to insure for 2009.
In GM's announcement today of production cuts was news the Cadillac XLR would be getting the axe. A sad end to the brightest side we've ever seen of platform prostitution. [BGDailyNews via XLR-Net]
When Cadillac dropped images of its fender-vented 2009 Cadillac XLR, we knew the XLR-V shots couldn't be far behind since they already gave us specs in the last go round. Well, there it is, amidst a new raft of XLR shots, sure looks like a 2008 Cadillac XLR-V with some fender vents slapped on. We're just glad to know…
We were the first to show you shots of the new 2009 Cadillac XLR, now we've taken a jump to ludicrous speed with the first photographic evidence of the 2009 Cadillac XLR-V. The new hotness from Cadillac is getting the same wire-mesh grille we expect from the V-Series, and what looks to be a gigantic Cadillac badge…
It's nice to see these first spy photos of the 2009 Cadillac XLR mere minutes after we just dropped the hot load of Fierenzo. Essentially the Cadillac XLR is a re-skinned Corvette. A drop-dead gorgeous skin, but still a re-skin. So what have we got on the new hotness with two doors from Caddy? Not much unfortunately.…

Steve Miller (August 26, 1943) is a former American football player, coach of football and basketball, and college athletics administrator. He served as the head football coach at Carroll College—now Carroll University—in Waukesha, Wisconsin from 1972 to 1976, at Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa from 1977 to 1979, and at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa from 1980 to 2002, compiling a career college football record of 121–94–2. Miller was also the head basketball coach at Cornell during the 1982–83 season again from 1984 to 1988, tallying a mark of 49–61. He was named NCAA Division III coach of the year while coaching football at Cornell.
Playing career[edit]
Miller played quarterback at Cornell College from 1961 until 1964 and was awarded all-conference his senior year.[1]
Coaching career[edit]
Carroll College[edit]
Miller's first head coaching position was as the 23rd head football coach for the Carroll College Pioneers located in Waukesha, Wisconsin and he held that position for five seasons, from 1972 until 1976. His career coaching record at Carroll College was 30 wins, 15 losses, and 1 ties. This ranks him sixth at Carroll College in total wins and fourth at Carroll College in winning percentage.[2]
Morningside College[edit]
After coaching at Carroll, Miller became head coach for the Morningside Mustangs in Sioux City, Iowa. He held that position for 3 seasons, from 1977 until 1979.[3] His coaching record at Morningside was 4 wins, 23 losses and 2 ties. As of the conclusion of the 2009 season, this ranks him #16 at Morningside in total wins and #21 at the school in winning percentage (.172).[4]
Cornell College[edit]
Miller was the head coach at Cornell College from 1980[5] in Mount Vernon, Iowa until 2002, when he was replaced by Ray Reasland.[6] While at Cornell, he was awarded Division III Coach of the Year,[7] served twice as the school's athletic director, and was head coach of six sports at the school,[8] including basketball.[9] At Cornell, Miller's football teams compiled a record of 87 wins and 55 loses, including an undefeated 10-0 season in 1992.[10]
Later life[edit]
As of 2009, Miller still works with Cornell in the alumni office as the Associate Director of Development, Major & Planned Gifts.[11]

10 is support and 12 is resistance. Recently I said it would bust 12 and hit 10. It did, then I said it go back up to 12 after hitting 10, it did. And it would hit 12 and fall back down to 10, it did. This is so easy, support and resistance is the only way. Looks like it is getting ready to break 10 now. Look out below when it does! nuff said.
I understand 12 but the 100 day MA currently a little over 13 is hugehttp://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=CMED&t=1y&l=on&z=m&q=l&p=m100&a=&c=
Like I said 12 is resistance and still is. Next support level is 10 and it is going back down to that level as of today. nuff said!
Dude get over yourself..Nice call on the 10..You really got this stock stuff all figured out.RiiiiiiightNuff Said
Thanks, I really do, nuff said.
IT has behaved that way but only after they took away the share buyback was it able to break twelve

Normalizing to negative control primers for ChIP qPCR
Posted 30 March 2012 - 12:23 PM
2^-[(Ct IP - Ct input)target gene - (Ct IP - Ct input)negative control], where the fold enrichment of the negative control region is set to 1.
I'm running an in vivo ChIP on brain tissue and have a lot of variability between samples if I normalize to input. But, the data cleans up after I normalize to a negative control region not associated with my protein of interested (H3K9ac). I think this accounts for potential differences in cross-linking or elution of DNA, but my advisor is worried that this isn't a publication-quality approach to ChIP analysis. Any advice?
Thanks for your help.
Posted 03 April 2012 - 02:04 PM
Posted 04 April 2012 - 05:10 AM
This is pretty much what I do for my ChIPs........works very well. Specifically, I subtract the %Input from my IgG IP from the %Input of my specific IP...............do this for all regions tested then divide each adjusted % Input by the negative PCR regions adjusted %Input..............doing this way accounts for technical variations across ChIPs from different days............especially the variations you can get when shearing the DNA using the old school sonicatiors which arent excatly most precise tools for shearing.
Thanks. I'm characterizing how a promoter changes in response to a drug. I'm using a single negative control region for H3K4me3 and H3K9ac, but need to use a different control region for the repressive histone marks H3K9me and H3K27me (I was thinking the actin promoter, since it's constitutively active and likely not associated with repressive histone marks). Is there an issue using two sets of negative control primers for analysis?

JACKSON, N.J. (August 29, 2013)--Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, N.J. says its planned Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom will hoist riders 415 feet in the air and drop them back to the ground at 90 mph while the park's Kingda Ka roller coaster trains hurl toward riders on Zumanjaro at speeds as fast as 128 miles per hour.
Zumanjaro is scheduled to open in 2014.
Its three, 41-story towers will be built on the face of the roller coaster and each will have a gondola for eight riders.
Meanwhile, the park says this is the last season for its wooden Rolling Thunder roller coaster.
The park says technology has surpassed the dual track coaster, which opened in 1979.

I think there could be a problem in using the sachet as a back for the line. Doing this kind of takes it out of the story -- I'm not sure many viewers will make the jump from the ketchup sachet sauce to the red on the car. I think you need it in the main illustration to make it more obvious.
Maybe more people will make the link than I'm thinking, but I'd want to test that before running it.
For me the sachet completes the story in such a clever way. And I love the type treatment on the sachet. Adds so much to the tension created in this situation.

InDesign CS 5.5
Upgrade, single application, suite, and academic pricing available
I begin this review with a caveat. Adobe loves the word "professional." I mean really! Their CS Suites are for professionals, and I can tell you right now, those people will leave me in the dust with their skills. But I am here to say that we ordinary people will love CS InDesign 5.5. This review is in two parts. The first will cover basic publications, PDFs, booklets, and the useful controls and workspaces that pertain to the print world. The second part will zero in on interactive publications, including the very lucrative and expanding field of ePub.
With InDesign 5.5, you too can design and publish your church newsletter. You too can design posters for your art group. You too can produce interesting interactive PDFs that can be used on the Internet. And yes, you too can publish your own ePub book as a tutorial, or for a family reunion or for pure vanity's sake. I did, and I am not a professional by any stretch of the imagination.

During the summer vacation season in Italy, a lot of locals and visitors often flock to the beaches for some much-awaited rest and recreation.

Getting to paradise is not complicated. Confirm your stay dates are available on our calendar, use our 'Book-It' button and you are headed to Maui Paradise Found. No matter what time you arrive after our 4pm check-in time, a lock box on our door allows you to enter without property manager assistance. The entrance code will be given to you a minimum of 14 days prior to your arrival. Check-out is by 11am.
We have bamboo floors, blackout blinds, 51'' 1080p plasma TV, free WiFi, full air-conditioning and an Apple TV. The kitchen has a stove, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher. The kitchen is fully furnished for any gourmand's creations. A new mattress and pad, luxurious 500 count Egyptian cotton linens and great pillows for the main bed. The sleeper sofa has high quality linens as well. There are beach towels, a boogie board, an umbrella, a cooler and Tommy Bahama beach chairs provided for your use while visiting. The beach towels and quality bath towels provided equal the number of registered guests.
The property is fully air-conditioned. While our guest you have free parking, use of the pool, tennis court, newly renovated hot tub and BBQ areas which are steps away from the unit. Laundry facilities are on-site (coin-operated). The laundry is located on the east side of the complex at the back of the parking lot near unit #133. Its hours are from 8am-9pm and we provide the key, otherwise it is locked.
We consider Maui our home, contact us for Maui activity ideas. We can make suggestions for whale watching, island hot spots, where to get the best food prices, car rental rates and seasonal events.
Recommendations: I would rent a car. There are buses for the whole island with a single flat-rate fee for the day, but coming to Maui is about the journey, not the destination. It is not about getting from Point A to Point B but stopping every time the view overwhelms you and sitting to enjoy it. Bring snacks and drinks, picnics are the way to enjoy every day's excursion.
Beaches: there is one of the best on the Island, Sugar Beach, an easy walk just down the street about 2 blocks from the property. But remember you are on Maui. The island has 5 or 6 of the worlds greatest beaches. Big Beach, the one featured in our Owner Photo is a 30 min drive...not to be missed.
The location of the property is centrally located on the south side of Maui. The airport at Kahului (OGG) is 10 miles and a 20 min. drive. Northwest is Lahaina, a 45 min drive of 20 miles. The town of Paia is past the airport and is a 25 min drive from the property of 15 miles.
Bring and always wear sunscreen. The average summer temp is in the upper 80's and the average high season temperature is in the lower 80's. You will be so comfortable and warm, you will forget you are under a tropical sun and could sunburn.
Should you need a place to store your luggage on your day of departure, here are a couple of options:
•Paradise Storage is in Kahului, across the street from Target. They have day storage for $25. Although their facility closes at 7:00 PM, the manager lives on-site and can accommodate later pick-ups. Their phone number is 808-877-7783 or 808-873-6767.
•Extra Space Storage has luggage storage for the day. Cost is $22 + $10 for insurance, for a total of $32. They have a Kihei office, phone 875-8554.

Maui Paradise Found Properties is our first step to make our move to Maui. We love our island and want you to do so as well. This was our 1st property here on Maui, our 2nd is located at a property next door, Kihei Bay Vista. By renting them both, a group of 8 could stay near each other to BBQ or gather for activities. Please follow the links and check it out.
Kevin purchased this studio in 2013
We have a strong HOA that is always striving to improve the common areas and maintain a quality for all guests and owners. The current project is a pool area upgrade; new chairs, hot tub surround, BBQ area. All completed and looks great!!
The best benefit of Kihei Bay Surf is we are across the street from the Ocean! Steps to surf!
This is just 20 min from the airport (went there with flight arriving at night with no issue). 40 Min from Lahaina, and this is a very good base to visit the island overall. Easy access to anywhere, and all the needed stuffs close by (fruits shop, small supermarket etc.).
You can feel the Hawaii mood when you get there.
We've been staying 2 adults and 2 kids ( aged 3 and 6), it did great.
Swimming pool, SPA couple of step as well, cool to relax after hiking day !
100% recommended.
Property was very nice and clean and very well maintained. our contact Kevin is very friendly and helpful. a couple of suggestions....a few more towels available, a bath mat in the bathroom and a larger kitchen trash. yes....we would stay her again for sure :-) thank you Kevin.
OK, we wanted something simple, yet efficient . It had exactly what we wanted. We were looking to spend most of our time "out and about" and we did. This place provided the beach chairs and umbrella, beach towels, plus cooler etc, and a functioning small kitchen(hit Costco or Safeway for basics)plus the stuff in the brochures(bed, bath, toilet..ya know..the basics) Kevin gave a list of places to eat. All were all spot on. Loved the Kihei Cafe for breakfast. The fish tacos at Coconuts are to die for(2 for 1). Found a little taco place in Haiku(Tims) across from the Haleakala Bike Co on our own(fanastic!!). Highly recommend the "Flyin' Hawaiian 'Zip Line'" (Say Hi to Gundy). Went to the Drum circle on Little Beach on Sunday(really, really, don't miss this). Only drawback was we forgot to turn in our parking pass(sorry). Truly though, Kihei is a great central location. We will do this again. Aloha, guys
ps We had a great time!!
The place was clean and well maintained. It was overlooking the main road where there was a lot of traffic noise early evening. The pool, hot tub, and grill area was a great place to relax and cook supper after a day at the beach or sight seeing. The place is in a good location to all the places we were interested in visiting. If it was just this we would come back again. My wife gave a list of things she thought would improve the place and we received what we thought was a scathing and angry response. Because of that we would not return.
We had a wonderful stay! The condo is beautiful and exactly as pictured. It was very clean and comfortable with many amenities. There was some road noise but nothing unexpected. Other visitors/residents were very friendly. (We actually noticed and commented on this as we travelled through the islands...everyone is so friendly!) The pool was close and easily accessible although we didn't actually use it. The location of the condo made getting around the island easy to go in any direction. We truly enjoyed our stay and just wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property!
My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay from Feb 23rd to march 2nd. Upon arrival the first thing we noticed was the very clean smell of the unit followed by a very homey feeling as we walked in. . It was all great from there. All the items and utensils we needed for the week were supplied from cutlery and Tupperware to a boogie board and great day cooler bag with trolley.
The amenities of the room such as a/c, fan, dish washer, apple tv, wifi etc all worked great... I read reviews complaining about the ac but it was great for us. . Cold and the very minimal (normal) noise it made was perfect white noise for sleeping; the bed was firm but comfortable, we slept great.
The pool, hot tub, and bbqs on the property are quite close to the unit and very nice. High end bbqs made for some great dinners; the pool and hot tub were very clean and refreshing the handful of times we used them.
We ate all of our meals at the nice two person table on the patio. It may not be ocean front. . But the ocean is right across the street and visible!
We did use on site laundry facility mid week. No issues here either however we had to ask one of the (very friendly) residents where they were located. This tip could be a great addition to the very helpful suggestion/idea list provided by the owners when you reserve this great condo.
All in all we had an amazing vacation and would definitely recommend this condo to a friend or family member. All correspondence with the owner was smooth and effortless from the booking request all the way through to getting my full damage deposit back in my account two days after we left.
Thank you for having us! !

We are now at the half-way point of the UNESCO decade for education for sustainable development, promulgated in recognition of the seriousness of the global climate crisis, and positioning educators as potential leaders in generating the cultural changes needed to address this crisis (UNESCO, 2005). This article reports on one key focus of a recent study, 'Titiro Whakamuri, Hoki Whakamua. We are the future, the present and the past: caring for self, others and the environment in early years' teaching and learning', which had the aim of investigating how centres can work with their local communities in fostering ecologically sustainable practices. This project utilised a philosophical framework grounded in kaupapa Māori notions such as manaakitanga (caring) and kaitiakitanga (stewardship), along with an ethic of care (Noddings, 2005). The work of teachers from ten early childhood centres produced evidence of teachers proactively raising awareness amongst tamariki and whānau of strategies for caring for our environment, and ways in which this extended more broadly into their communities, some of which are described below.

Since it's just you and me talking, I want to share something.
It's a little embarrassing, so lean in close.
Between us I have always been of the opinion that there is, somewhere, a higher statistical order to fantasy basketball. The rough outlines of a dork matrix, if you will. That by paying less attention to the stats we tabulate for scoring purposes and more to the stats that drive those stats, we could come to some greater depth of understanding of fantasy hoops. (Yeesh, I look at sentences like that and reflect in wonder that I have ever been on a single date.)
One of the best things about working for ESPN is being on the email list for the twice-daily bulletins from ESPN's marvelous Stats & Information department. You can pour through a single email for an hour. It is sheer numerical heaven (that being my concept of the afterlife, as opposed to Tim Tebow's).
I have long, long dreamed of being permitted to talk to them.
And now I have, for the first time, been given the green light to occasionally pester ESPN's stats team with some of my most burning questions.
This has proven an enormous boon to my fantasy musings, because my greatest fantasy enemy -- now that Antoine Walker has retired to the D-League -- is time.
I have a soul-crushing day job as a mediocre filmmaker to attend to and often find that the 2 to 3 hours a day I allot to following the NBA in-season are never enough (although when editing in a two-screen setup, NBA League Pass gets at least one-third of a screen).
But with the aid of these very patient, very thorough professionals, I'm going to be able to take a look at certain questions with a greater amount of statistical depth.
Are playing back-to-back games really as much a performance inhibitor as we believe?
With the Hellzapoppin', dog-and-cats-living-together anarchy of this preseason, it's been tough enough to keep up with the cataclysmic amount of player movement (secretly, I love it).
But lately, I've wondered how the compressed schedule might affect certain players' statistical prospects. Neil Tardy wrote an insightful article about this just last week. The short answer is that, yes, players across the board are going to see their numbers drop, especially on the offensive side. But I wanted to take a look at how players historically respond on the second night of a back-to-back situation.
If you've been reading anyone's preseason coverage, you'll note there has been a lot of focus placed on the 42 back-to-back-to-backs the NBA has scheduled this season. That's grueling enough, but beyond that lies the fact that back-to-back games will be the everyday norm this season so much that I think it becomes an issue when putting together your fantasy draft plans.
The conventional wisdom has long held four basic tenants regarding back-to-backs:
1. Offensive numbers drop
2. Older players break down
3. Big men get tired
4. Players with chronic injuries get extremely creaky
I've always doubted this is to be the uniform case. There have to be players that buck these assumptions, so I asked the folks in Stats & Information to look into three areas with regard to the differences between zero days' rest and one or more days' rest.
NOTE: Statistics referenced are from the past two seasons, except for rookies, which involve only the 2010-11 season.
Impact on scoring and field goal percentage
When examining 56 of the top players in fantasy (from Kevin Durant to Michael Beasley), S&I discovered that less than 50 percent of players registered a drop-off in points per game and field goal percentage. Here are the 23 players who did post a dip in those categories, broken down by position:
Point guards
Tony Parker
Russell Westbrook
Tyreke Evans
Rodney Stuckey
Shooting guards
Ray Allen
Manu Ginobili
Small forwards
Carmelo Anthony
Caron Butler
Luol Deng
Danny Granger
Corey Maggette
Dorell Wright
Power forwards
LaMarcus Aldridge
Carlos Boozer
Kevin Garnett
Blake Griffin
David Lee
Kevin Love
Amare Stoudemire
Andrea Bargnani
Andrew Bogut
Dwight Howard
Not a lot of uniformity there. It looks as though, aside from the presence of several chronic injury sufferers (Evans, Ginobili, Garnett, Stoudemire, Bogut), there isn't a real trend to detect. More than half these players are guards or wing players, and seven of them are in the first phase of their NBA careers.
The collective lack of a numerical dip is further reinforced by the next grouping, the players from the top 56 whose offensive numbers were essentially a wash:
Point guards
Stephen Curry
Monta Ellis
Steve Nash
Chris Paul
Shooting guards
Eric Gordon
Stephen Jackson
Kevin Martin
Marcus Thornton
Dwayne Wade
Small forwards
Rudy Gay
Andre Iguodala
LeBron James
Paul Pierce
Power forwards
Chris Bosh
Tim Duncan
Pau Gasol
Zach Randolph
Luis Scola
Josh Smith
David West
Brook Lopez
As you can see, this list contains a number of players conventional wisdom would assume would register a big drop-off on the second night of back-to-back games. Older big men such as Duncan and Randolph weren't affected in the slightest. Same goes for chronically dinged players such as Gordon, Nash, Paul and Wade. And we have about the same split between guards/wings and big men.
However, most interesting were the players whose offensive stats actually went up on the tail end of back-to-back games:
Point guards
Rajon Rondo
Derrick Rose
John Wall
Deron Williams
Shooting guards
Kobe Bryant
Jamal Crawford
Joe Johnson
Small forwards
Michael Beasley
Kevin Durant
Power forward
Dirk Nowitzki
Al Jefferson
One thing that leaps out here is the amount of fantasy elites, especially at the point guard position.
What makes this trend truly special? That a few of these players experienced a dramatic rise in field goal percentage to go along with the boost in points scored. Bryant -- who is a) old and b) playing on 0.5 to 1.0 knees -- saw his points per game rise from 25.5 to 28.5, and his field goal percentage (FG%) jump from .446 to .483. Jefferson, who was elite in the second half of last season, nudged from 17.6 to 18.9 ppg but leapt from .484 to .537 in field goal percentage.
The number of young PGs on this list led me to look into a second area:
Rest factor for rookies
I'd always assumed rookies suffered on zero days' rest. They're not used to the night-in, night-out NBA grind. Inconsistency slips in with fatigue. Basically, there's probably a miniature version of the "rookie wall."
Well, if you ever wanted an excuse to load up on rookies in the late rounds of your fantasy draft, read on, because last season's first-year players utterly shined. Here's a list of the rookies whose numbers shot up on zero days' rest. (As a bonus, we took into account a third measurable stat -- usage rate -- to go along with ppg and FG%.)
Point guards
Eric Bledsoe
Gary Neal
John Wall
Shooting guards
Jordan Crawford
Landry Fields
Small forwards
Paul George
Wesley Johnson
Power forwards
DeMarcus Cousins
Ed Davis
Derrick Favors
Greg Monroe
Not only did most of these players post an increase in points scored and field goal percentage, but they also bumped up their usage rate. This rise in usage is telling because it shows that younger, fresher players saw a need to take on more responsibility/more possessions when they detected their team was tired. More importantly, it looks as if their coaches specifically went to their younger players more often when their teams played on zero days' rest.
But what about how these players -- rookies and veterans alike -- responded in other areas?
Impact on rebounds, steals and blocks
I asked Stats & Information to look at elite producers in these three categories. Here, things got decidedly less interesting.
With blocks and steals, there was no significant movement, save for a small dip in blocks on zero days' rest for Andrew Bynum and Dwight Howard, and a tiny dip in steals for Mike Conley.
However, there was large disparity in the rebounds column. Amongst the top 13 rebounders during the past two seasons, six players (Tim Duncan, Blake Griffin, Dwight Howard, Al Jefferson, David Lee and Kevin Love) posted a significant drop with no rest, five (Tyson Chandler, Kevin Garnett, Pau Gasol, Kris Humphries and Zach Randolph) showed a significant rise and two (Al Horford and Emeka Okafor) stayed about the same.
One interesting fact to note here is that Jefferson and Duncan's rebounds dropped precipitously on zero days' rest, while their offensive numbers dramatically rose.
I realize this might seem like numerical nitpicking, but this is a unique season. And when you're looking for the smallest slivers of advantage in your preseason prep, I think there's enough evidence here to support some subtle movement in your draft boards.

I've enabled htpasswd on a webpage. Is there a way I can limit the number of attempts a user has to enter the correct username/pass credentials before they have to do a hard refresh of the page?
How to limit number of attempts someone has to provide username/password credentials for a webpage with htpasswd?
Not with basic authentication, you'll need to go to a different authentication module in order to do it. I was just reading up on mod_auth_pamacea which allows you to use the PAM libraries and all of their goodness with
The Linux-PAM System Administrators' Guide

I'm sure there are other auth modules that will allow the same functionality, to me this is the closest you'll come to

Vanishing Acts
By Jodi Picoult | Paperback | 0 Review(s)
Ships in 7-12 days
Local Version
Delia Hopkins has led a charmed life. Raised in rural New Hampshire by her widowed father Andrew, she now has a young daughter, a handsome fiance, and her own Search and Rescue bloodhound which she uses to find missing persons. But as she plans her wedding, she is plagued by flashbacks of a life she... read more can't recall. What are these memories and what do they mean? In shock and confusion, Delia must search out the truth among these newly discovered recollections even when they threaten to devastate her life, and the lives of those she loves most. With consummate skill and sensitivity, Jodi Picoult examines what happens when the past we have been running from catches up to us, and questions who we trust to tell us the story of our lives before we are capable of remembering it ourselves.

The Manchester-based independent adrvertising agency BJL is to create a TV based advertising campaign for William Hill plc, a month after being named as a roster agency for the client.
It is understood that BJL won the project following a three way pitch, the first assignment since the agency was placed on William Hill's above-the-line roster.
BJL employs over 75 dedicated staff and recently added digital and PR divisions to its strategic offering. The agency is in a growth phase, and recently took on new clients including Kepak Convenience Foods, Regus, Bauer Radio Group, Lambrini, Morphy Richards and Typhoo to its books.
At the end of last (August) month the agency recruited one of the UK's top creative teams with the appointment of the multi award-winning duo, Pete Bastiman and Tom Richards from TBWA - Manchester, where they were creative partners for copy and art respectively. The two have extensive experience working with major accounts such as British Midland, Cussons, Kelloggs, Sony PlayStation, Tennents and Nissan.
The agency has confirmed the story but was unable to comment on any other details pending an official statement by the online and land betting group.

I'm trying to make an application which is working with files. That's why I have a GtkTreeView there which is responsible for displaying files and I need to create a popup menu on this widget in order to allow user to ignore some directories.
I was looking for this on the internet and I've found this manual with example
Everything is fine, I managed to do that, but the problem is I managed to do that just for label, for some widgets it doesn't work (for instance for GtkViewTree)
When I create a GtkEventBox and enter a GtkViewTree instance in there my click is beeing ignored.
Can somebody explain me what is the reason for this? How this GtkViewTree widget differs from label?
thank you in advance

Otago Daily Times marketing co-ordinator Jess Peck
sits among thousands of entries received for the newspaper's
annual Christmas ham and turkey competition yesterday.
About 8600 people entered the competition to win one of 60
hams and 60 turkeys.
Last year, about 7200 entered. Miss Peck said the response
was ''very exciting''. She said there would soon be another
opportunity for ODT readers to win.
More than $10,000 worth of prizes from Arthur Barnett was
being given away in the Summer Times holiday section of the
newspaper between December 27 and January 12.
Additional children's prizes were also offered.
''We've got loads of puzzle pages and competitions, so people
should make sure they get the paper and enter, especially if
they missed out on a turkey or ham,'' Miss Peck said.
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 cant get the do_shortcode command to work for this plugins shortcode. IS there a reason why it doesnt work? It displays the quiz but nothing is clickable
Hello evilchinesefood,
Do you have a weblink?
Have you enabled [raw]?
Unfortuantly i dont have a link. Its on a development server behind closed doors at the moment. I can share some code though. Im using bootstraps modal popups and then placeing a quiz inside it.

<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>

Quiz Popup

<?php echo do_shortcode('[WpProQuiz 1]' ?>

<button class="btn" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">Close</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
<?php echo do_shortcode('[WpProQuiz 1]'); ?> :)
Have you JavaScript errors on your page? (Chrome developer tools or Firebug)
Check the options under "global settings" -> "settings in case of problems" in the wp-pro-quiz adminmenu
Yes i do have a javascript error
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'wpProQuizFront' totaltruckcenters.com:385
(anonymous function) totaltruckcenters.com:385
l jquery.js:2
c.fireWith jquery.js:2
v.extend.ready jquery.js:2
What does this mean? Also while I have you if you may, Is there a way i can have php code ran after a user gets 100% on the quiz. I have tried adding the php code to the graduation part of the code in a quiz setting but the it doesnt run it outputs it as text.

That's not crackling, that's static.
That was just to the people saying that. If you want to make a noise like electricity or something, you have to do something that won't hurt our ears.
Now then, the fight... that was nice! I noticed another reviewer recommended you slow down the action, and you really shouldn't. It goes just the right speed. Not giving your audience a chance to breath means you just made an even more intense, enjoyable experience.
i likes it
nicely drawn, not saying anything bad about the artwork here but ya knowwhat they say , the better.....well... the better... i guess thats not really a saying but anyhoo...
good things to add that will make it better:
most fighters
puase FF and rewaind buttuns usable in the middle of it
and try to make it go slowers, not he movements, but drag out the whole fights, like instead of going from one blast instantly to another give it a little space
sutch as *blast* *awsome thing * *regular fighting* and repeate
this makes things more drawn out, but keeps the quality of the flash in-tact
also if you rush it too much and have a short movie then afterwards the viewers would be like " wtf just happened?" out brains need time to proccess the awsomeness
so my overall word is:
drag the fight out ^_^
everything else was pretty kewl
p.s. little tick of mine in watching these, if a character is fighitng many opponites and just blasts like a LOT of them away with a big boom or something, that isnt as fun to watch, better thing would to be like a bunch ot 1 v 1 matches one right after another ( first BIG fight scene in matrix 2 where neo fights a shit load of smiths )
Good, but audio crackles
Yes, it stick has been done, but this piece used alot of visual effects tricks that Flash has to offer. Although, minus points for not normalizing your audio.
i dont know why everones complaining about the crackling. It means energy..stuffies, no?
Very well Done
People, stop whining about the crackling. It's supposed to show off how powerful the fighters are, like in DBZ

I've recently made a small update to my blog, and I'd like to share the how, the why and the what. I'm also going to take the time and ask you to provide me some feedback on my posts from now on, since this small update enhances just that.
Back Together
Yes, yes, yes, I know what you might say. It will probably be around the following:
- New theme, wth?
- Merging dev and normal, wth?
- Why is this so flashy, wht?
- …wth?
Yeah, I know, a lot of wth s so… let's get right to it. I have merged my two blogs (main and dev-blog) for two reasons. I'll detail them in this post, as brief as I can. I'll also detail the changes to the website itself, and what juicy new things you can find over here including:
- Adaptive Tutorial Design – example
- Better linking for Rants and Tutorials (also Romanian posts) – rants, tutorials, romanian posts
- Better real-estate usage on all pages
Use for the Pi
A few days ago, I described my Trek through Raspberry Pi and Wifi configs (including APs). Today, I want to talk about a possible use for such a setup.
The simple CLI I had in mind isn't working right now. I ended up using MPD (more exactly: Mopidy) with both a CLI client and a Web client, either of them work fine.
Raspberry Pi - Wifi
So… I'm going to start my ramblings by talking a bit about my trek through configuring a damn Raspberry Pi to work the way I wanted to. Specifically, I wanted to be able to SSH into the damn thing whenever I may so desire, regardless of what device I have with me or what networks I create…
Starting up
Why another blog?
Well, two reasons. I want to explain myself a bit, so I'll keep it short and simple for now.
There are two reasons for creating a Dev blog
One is the obvious reason of separating normal blog posts with the more techy ones. To be fair, I needed a small change in layout anyway, and this theme and setup seemed awesome at the time.
Secondly, I've been posting a lot on Facebook, letting the world know on what I'm learning and my opinions and stuff… And some people suggested I start a blog instead – hint taken, I'll spamming your walls :)
And well, we're here
To be perfectly frank, I'll either spam the hell out of this blog, or ignore it like I usually do.
Time will tell
Tutorial Vagrant
În ultimii ani, virtualizarea și standardizarea mașinilor virtuale a devenit un subiect din ce în ce mai dezbătut, și populat de diferite sisteme ce își doresc a face acest subiect o realitate cât mai accesibilă. Unul dintre aceste sisteme, realizat modular, este Vagrant. În următoarele rânduri vom vorbi despre ce este mai exact Vagrant, cum funcționează și cum se instaleaza și configurează acest sistem.
Ce este Vagrant?
Dacă veți căuta pe Google Vagrant, veți obține aproximativ următoarea definiție:
Vagrant este definit ca
o persoană fără un cămin stabilit sau job stabil ce se mută din loc în loc. Într-un fel, această descriere se potrivește destul de bine software-ului Vagrant.

|Test name
|Domain NS records
|Nameserver records returned by the parent servers are:
ns2.huzhou.gov.cn ['126.96.36.199'] [TTL=86400]
ns.huzhou.gov.cn ['18.104.22.168'] [TTL=86400]
c.dns.cn. was kind enough to give us that information.
|TLD Parent Check
|WARNING: Looks like the parent servers do not have information for your TLD when asked. This is ok but can be confusing.
|Your nameservers are listed
|Good. The parent server c.dns.cn. has your nameservers listed. This is a must if you want to be found as anyone that does not know your DNS servers will first ask the parent nameservers.
|DNS Parent sent Glue
|Good The parent nameserver sent GLUE, meaning he sent your nameservers as well as the IPs of your nameservers. Glue records are A records that are associated with NS records to provide "bootstrapping" information to the nameserver.(see RFC 1912 section 2.3)
|Nameservers A records
|Good. Every nameserver listed has A records. This is a must if you want to be found.
|NS records from your nameservers
|NS records got from your nameservers listed at the parent NS are:
Oups! I could not get any nameservers from your nameservers (the ones listed at the parent server). Please verify that they are not lame nameservers and are configured properly.
|Recursive Queries
|Good. Your nameservers (the ones reported by the parent server) do not report that they allow recursive queries for anyone.
|Same Glue
|Hmm,I do not consider this to be an error yet, since I did not detect any nameservers at your nameservers
|Glue for NS records
|OK. Your nameservers (the ones reported by the parent server) have no ideea who your nameservers are so this will be a pass since you already have a lot of errors!
|Mismatched NS records
|OK. The NS records at all your nameservers are identical.
|DNS servers responded
|Good. All nameservers listed at the parent server responded.
|Name of nameservers are valid
|OK. All of the NS records that your nameservers report seem valid.
|Multiple Nameservers
|ERROR: Looks like you have 2 nameservers.According to RFC2182 section 5 you must have at least 3 nameservers, and no more than 7. Having 2 nameservers is also ok by me.
|Nameservers are lame
|every name server provided has failed: Connection refused
|Missing nameservers reported by parent
|OK. All NS records are the same at the parent and at your nameservers.
|Missing nameservers reported by your nameservers
| ERROR: One or more of the nameservers listed at the parent servers are not listed as NS records at your nameservers. The problem NS records are:
This is listed as an ERROR because there are some cases where nasty problems can occur (if the TTLs vary from the NS records at the root servers and the NS records point to your own domain, for example).
|Domain CNAMEs
| ERROR: There are following CNAME records present:
|NSs CNAME check
|OK. RFC1912 2.4 and RFC2181 10.3 state that there should be no CNAMEs if an NS (or any other) record is present.
|Different subnets
|OK. Looks like you have nameservers on different subnets!
|IPs of nameservers are public
|Ok. Looks like the IP addresses of your nameservers are public. This is a good thing because it will prevent DNS delays and other problems like
|DNS servers allow TCP connection
|OK. Seems all your DNS servers allow TCP connections. This is a good thing and useful even if UDP connections are used by default.
|Different autonomous systems
|OK. It seems you are safe from a single point of failure. You must be careful about this and try to have nameservers on different locations as it can prevent a lot of problems if one nameserver goes down.
|Stealth NS records sent
|Ok. No stealth ns records are sent
|SOA record
|No valid SOA record came back!
|MX Records
|Oh well, I did not detect any MX records so you probably don't have any and if you know you should have then they may be missing at your nameservers!
|WWW A Record
|ERROR: I could not get any A records for hzgb.gov.cn!

As you know, mu plugin's main file must be presented directly in mu-plugins folder without sub folder. Then such plugin can just include it's another files in sub folders using
As I understand your plugin can scan for translations only main file. I clicked 'Scan' button and got strings for translation only from main file.
Can you add possibility to scan sub folders too? Maybe it will be some question to user, and he will choose folder or enter folder directory by himself.

I have a script running on Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64 that maps the first available network drive to a network resource, uses it, and then deletes the mapping.
Unfortunately, after deleting the mapping, the script still does not show the drive letter as being available for the next usage.
Drives are mapped by the NET USE command:
net use A: \\server.mycorp.com\network\resource /persistent:no /user:MYCORP\username password
Drives are unmapped by the same NET USE command:
net use A: /delete
I find the used drive letters by the WMIC command:
wmic logicaldisk get caption | findstr /r /v "^Caption ^$"
Can anybody explain why the WMIC command shows drive letters that have been returned to the system after the
net use /delete command as still being used?
Thanks, PaulH
fsutil fsinfo drives command also shows the unampped drive as still in use.

I just installed WP onto my website. I'm very new to WP, and not very savvy with coding. Anyhow, I am trying to get my WP theme to look like this:
Actually, I'd like to just have a custom header with my store's logo, and links back to my homepage and to the other products.
So I downloaded this theme.
All I would like to do is change the header of this theme to my store's logo, and change the link up top: 'Front Page', 'Archives' and 'About' to links back to my store.
Can someone help me with editing the header of this theme?
Also, how can you edit these themes in Dreamweaver? I tried to pull in the header.php file into dreamweaver and didn't see anything. I'm very inexperienced, so please help. Thanks so much!
