How would I alter the sociable css file to display the icons a little closer together? I still want them on a horizontal line, but can't figure out how to decrease the space between them... they're spaced a little too widely for my taste.
However, everything in the css file having to do with margins or padding seems to be marked "important," so I am hesitant about altering that. What's the answer?

Hi, here's the problem: I've switched to TWENTY-ELEVEN theme after some time. After some checks I realized the "Like" and "Send" buttons from this plugin weren't working anymore.
They have always been set to be present in all posts, main index and single posts, on the top of the article. Now when I press the "Like" button, a cropped windows comes out in which I can see what I was expecting to see, only cut in less than half the width size.
For the "Send" button it definitely gets trickier since it gives me only a full white window only...
I've already tried to flush the plugin out, refresh the cache and install it back, but it didn't work at all.
I have only this plugin that has anything to do with OGP, and its settings are correct (because before it was working)...
Every suggestion is highly welcomed, thanks.

Silly Question
I'm sorry this my be a silly question but how can I tell when something is due to fall off? So if you have the followin lates Jan 2004 - Mar 2004 (30, 60,90) Do all lates fall off in Jan 2011 or just the one of the lates?
I have a number of older lates (varying by company from 2001 - 2004) and would like to send out some GW letters but don't know if its worth it for the really old ones.

Hello and thank you for your help.
This is the site: http://www.flegels.com
The issue I have is that I need a link on the sidebar to go up one level of hierarchy. The inventory is split into brands then into collections then the individual products. I am new to wordpress and this site was created by a third party who is no longer available.
This is the type of link that was on the side bar, and I looked at the codex on get_permalink but am not sure why I get these results.
Here is an example, on this page, we are at a Baker collection called English Classes. The link at the bottom of the sidebar in red is the problem. Instead of it going to http://www.flegels.com/furnishings/baker-2/
it goes to http://www.flegels.com/product/shield-back-side-chair-2/
For now I can change it to go javascript:history.go(-1) in history but that is not going to work if someone is linked to the page.
Please help if you can or explain to me what information I am missing to research this. Thank you.

My wife and I stayed for five days at Rancho Pacifico for our 10 year anniversary and had an absolutely wonderful time and absolutely intend to go back one day.
As pointed out in several other reviews, the key highlights of this property are:
1) The stunning and amazing views. The views never got old. It is magnificent and relaxing every time you look off into the horizon.
2) The staff is amazing. Certainly on par with, if not better than 5 star hotels in the U.S. They will make your vacation exactly what you want it to be, which is a huge reason to choose this hotel. They will take care of everything for you. They treat you like family from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart. Every question we had was answered and every problem we had was made right.
3) The food from chef Alex is also amazing and again, on par if not better than many fine dining restaurants in the U.S. Every meal was fresh, local, organic and bursting with flavor. My wife and I are big foodies and this place did not disappoint.
In reading these Trip Advisor reviews, you are probably wondering if it is worth the rather significant cost to stay at a property like this? My wife and I were on an anniversary trip, so we were less concerned about the cost on our trip, but I wondered if it would be worth it since it is not inexpensive, even for a short stay. I would say that we were glad we stayed and we had an incredible experience and you will too if you go in with the right expectations. In no way should these considerations be interpreted as "cons" or "negatives", just information to help ensure your expectations are in line with the experience you'll have. If you get these points and plan accordingly, you'll have an amazing time, as we did.
1) Understand the location: You are staying on a mountainside retreat teeming with wildlife. All of the rooms are unique and uniquely integrated with the property, but generally are very open. This was hugely appealing to us, but others may find being that close to nature overwhelming or the specific location on the property not fully meeting your expectations. We had no problems whatsoever with bugs or creatures in the room, but you will hear the wildlife most of the day, including at night where it is very difficult to isolate yourself from nature given the nature of the windows/screens/doors being so open, which again, is sort of the point for choosing a property like this. Just be prepared to go to sleep and wake up to the sounds of nature.
2) Understand the rooms: The rooms have spectacular views and great amenities but not every window has a curtain and not every room in the suite is completely enclosed. The bedrooms are generally fully enclosed, but we didn't see every one so I can't say for sure. Some bathrooms however are not fully enclosed, but the open wall is into the forest. All suites have very open floor plans and generally open to the outside on many walls, many times without screens or curtains. So some rooms might not be as private as you might hope or expect (i.e. we could see the massage tables in the spa as well as our neighbor through a window without a curtain). Again, the open nature of the rooms was a huge selling point for us, but you can't just go into your room, shut the doors and turn on the A/C and turn on the T.V. If that is what you are looking for than this property is not for you. The best advice I can give is to review the pictures for the individual rooms on-line and then call Rancho Pacific to be sure all of your questions about location and suite design are answered.
3) Understand the transportation: you can either rent a car or have someone drive you. We opted for the latter and were glad we did. Costs were reasonable and although we lost some control over going when and where we wanted and had to put up with "Costa Rica time" (i.e. they are consistently ½ hour late) we were glad we did. Arranging transportation to the property from any airport and to and from activities is very easy. If you prefer to have a car, you can drive and it's not quite as hair raising as some of the other reviews suggest, but you do need 4WD. I also strongly suggest arriving in daylight when it is not raining.
And that's basically it. So if you are interested in an upscale property where you can relax and recharge, dine on great meals with wonderful people, all in a place that is wonderfully integrated with nature, go for it. If you need a quite, dark, temperature controlled room with a T.V. to sleep or a want bustling environment with lots of bars, restaurants, shops and entertainment, this may not be the place for you.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Republican House Speaker T.W. Shannon says a growing number of business leaders from across the state are urging him to enter the race for Oklahoma's open U.S. Senate seat, and that he intends to formally announce his decision this week.
Shannon released a statement with the names of three dozen business owners he says have joined his exploratory committee, another signal the 35-year-old Lawton Republican may enter the race. Shannon could not be reached for comment on Tuesday, but he said in the statement he planned to announce his decision "sometime this week."
Two-term Republican U.S. Rep. James Lankford already has announced his plans to run for the seat being vacated by U.S. Tom Coburn, and U.S. Rep. Jim Bridenstine of Tulsa also is considering the race.

These are tasty wings.I had to use straight OJ,as I can't get concentrate,so I added a bit more to the marinade.I baked them off in the oven,and they came out beautifully.Such a simple yet tasty recipe.Thanks x.

Patricia Winders provides a true service to parents of children with Down syndrome, their pediatricians, and their early childhood teachers and therapists. She compiles her 16 years of experience with ample photographs, easy-to-read explanations, and checklists to provide activities and information to assist parents in following and facilitating motor development from birth to age 6 years. She gently conveys care, understanding, and support for each child and family.
Winders first explains the hypotonia, the increased flexibility in joints, the decreased strength, and the short arms and legs that make motor development a challenge for children with Down syndrome. Then she describes a variety of motivators such as toys, vocal imitation, turn-taking, and songs. Winders stresses careful timing for the introduction of new activities to decrease frustration and increase the sense of success, and she describes how to provide "strategically targeted support" in working on motor skills. She empowers parents: "When practicing motor skills, your child's success and enjoyment will be dependent on how you play, what type of toys you use, and where you place them." Winders establishes rapport with her readers and encourages them to contact her by providing her telephone number and e-mail address.

For comic book fans, next summer's 'Avengers' movie is the realization of a fantasy that didn't seem possible just a few years ago. But as the just-released trailer has shown, what used to be pure imagination is now movie reality.
With the big-screen superhero team-up set to arrive in May, it's time for the die-hard Marvel zombies to begin going nuts over the next cinematic milestone — and now that Marvel Comics and Walt Disney Studios work together, the movie possibilities are endless. Could we see the Incredibles fighting side-by-side with Captain America and Iron Man at the local multiplex? You don't have to wait to find out what that would look like because there's a bevy of talented artists using sites like Flickr, Tumblr and DeviantArt to show off their movie-inspired artwork.
From an adamantium-laced waterfowl to a hilarious new acting job for Winnie the Pooh, check out the amazing Dinsey-Marvel mash-up art.
Our sister site, ComicsAlliance, makes a habit of spotlighting particular artists and/or specific bodies of work, but there's just so much great work to see that they've initiated Best Art Ever (This Week), a weekly depository for just some of the virtually countless pieces of especially compelling artwork that they come across in their travels across the digital media landscape.
Some of it's new, some of it's old, some of it's created by working professionals, some of it's created by talented fans, and some of it's endearingly stupid. And all of it's awesome.

Opinion polls underestimate Americans' concern about the environment and global warming
When asked "What do you think is the most important problem facing the country today?" about 49 percent of respondents answered the economy or unemployment, while only 1 percent mentioned the environment or global warming.
But when asked, "What do you think will be the most serious problem facing the world in the future if nothing is done to stop it?" 25 percent said the environment or global warming, and only 10 percent picked the economy. In fact, environmental issues were cited more often than any other category, including terrorism, which was only mentioned by 10 percent of respondents.
I have written about the work of Stanford's Jon Krosnick before (see "USA Today: Some scientists misread poll data on global warming controversy" and "Large majority of Americans continue to believe global warming is real and trust scientists").
I hope to come back to explore this work in more detail when the BP oil disaster and climate bill news slow down a bit. For now, here's the news release by Mark Shwartz from Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford:
When pollsters ask Americans to name the most important problem facing the country, the environment is rarely mentioned. But this time-honored polling question masks the public's true concern about environmental issues, according to Stanford University researchers.
"For years, the wording used in traditional surveys has systematically underestimated the priority that the public has placed on global warming and the environment," said Jon Krosnick, a professor of communication and of political science at Stanford. "To fully understand public concern about these issues, traditional surveys should be asking a different question."
In a recent study, Krosnick and his colleagues focused on what public opinion experts call the "most important problem" (MIP) question. Developed by pollster George Gallup in the 1930s, the MIP question has become a staple of many national surveys.
As an example, the researchers cited the following question from a September 2009 New York Times/CBS News Poll: "What do you think is the most important problem facing the country today?"
In that poll, only 1 percent of respondents mentioned the environment, while 41 percent said the economy or jobs. "In prior surveys going back to 2007, the percentage of those who mentioned environmental issues never rose above 3 percent," Krosnick said. "These results seem to suggest that few if any Americans place top priority on the government dealing with global warming or the environment."
But the Stanford study revealed that when the question was reframed in terms of the most serious problem facing the planet if left unchecked, the environment and global warming rose to the top. "How a question is phrased can significantly change the results," said Krosnick, a senior fellow at Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment.
Internet survey
For the Stanford study, the research team analyzed the results of two national surveys. The first was a September 2009 Internet poll of 906 adults, conducted by the polling firm Abt SRBI. Respondents were randomly asked one of the following open-ended questions:
1. "What do you think is the most important problem facing the country today?"
In this traditional MIP question, about 49 percent answered the economy or unemployment, while only 1 percent mentioned the environment or global warming.
2. "What do you think is the most important problem facing the world today?"
Substituting the word "country" with "world" produced a significant change: 7 percent mentioned environmental issues, while 32 percent named the economy or unemployment.
3. "What do you think will be the most important problem facing the world in the future?"
When asked to consider the future of the planet, 14 percent chose the environment or global warming, while economic issues slipped to 21 percent.
4. "What do you think will be the most serious problem facing the world in the future if nothing is done to stop it?"
This time, 25 percent said the environment or global warming, and only 10 percent picked the economy or unemployment.
"Thus, when asked to name the most serious problem facing the world in the future if nothing is done to stop it, one-quarter of all Americans mentioned either global warming or the environment," Krosnick said. "In fact, environmental issues were cited more often in response to question 4 than any other category, including terrorism, which was only mentioned by 10 percent of respondents."
Stanford-AP Environment Poll
The researchers found similar results when they analyzed a November 2009 telephone survey of 1,055 adults sponsored by the Woods Institute for the Environment and the Associated Press (AP).
When asked the traditional MIP question, "What do you think is the most important problem facing the country today," 54 percent said economic issues, and just 2 percent mentioned environmental problems.
But when asked, "What do you think will be the most serious problem facing the world in the future if nothing is done to stop it," only 16 percent named the economy and unemployment, while 21 percent said global warming and the environment.
The Sanford-AP Environment Poll also asked, "How much effort do you think the federal government in Washington should put into dealing with the serious problems the world will face in the future if nothing is done to stop them?" Three out of four respondents said they wanted the government to devote "a great deal" or "a lot" of effort to combat serious problems, such as global warming, in the future.
"Contrary to what traditional surveys suggest, we found strong evidence that Americans attach a great deal of significance to global warming and the environment," Krosnick said. "Therefore, to accurately measure the American public's issue priorities, it may be useful for national surveys to include alternative questions that emphasize future problems and their solutions."
The Stanford study is co-authored by undergraduate student Samuel B. Larson; graduate student David Scott Yeager; and Trevor Tompson, director of surveys at AP. The study was funded by the Woods Institute for the Environment.
In short, much of the public does, in fact, get it.
And this all helps explain why public polls consistently show Americans support strong action NOW to reduce emissions:
- Obama's campaign pollster: "In the aftermath of the oil spill disaster, voters overwhelmingly support a comprehensive clean energy bill"¦. Voters understand the dangers of our dependence on oil. Now, they're ready to hold Congress accountable."
- New polls show Latinos and African Americans support bipartisan climate and clean energy jobs bill
- Memo to policymakers: Public STILL favors the transition to clean energy
- Swing state poll finds 60% "would be more likely to vote for their senator if he or she supported the bill" and Independents support the bill 2-to-1 (9/09)
- New CNN poll finds "nearly six in 10 independents" support cap-and-trade (10/09)
- Voters in Ohio, Michigan and Missouri overwhelmingly support action on clean energy and global warming (11/09)
- Overwhelming US Public Support for Global Warming Action (12/09)
- Public Opinion Stunner: WashPost-ABC Poll Finds Strong Support for Global Warming Reductions Despite Relentless Big Oil and Anti-Science Attacks (12/09)
- It's all about Independents "" and Independence (1/10)
- Yale: When asked whether they "support or oppose regulation carbon dioxide"¦as pollutant," 73 percent said yes, with only 27 percent opposed, including 61 percent of Republicans (2/10)
12 Responses to Opinion polls underestimate Americans' concern about the environment and global warming
There has always been a lot of voodoo in polling, and I'm glad some sharp guys stepped up to do this properly. Politicians need to take notice.
A Russian and American horse have a race in which the Russian horse wins.
The American News reports:
"American horse second, Russian horse second to last!"
Statistics and polling can be very tricky and I am convinced much effort is expended to receive the poll results desired. Personally, I often see questions during a poll that require answers other than the "yes" or "no" or limited selection allowed. I usually terminate a poll when confronted with "push" questions thus tilting the results that much more.
Framing is key.
If someone had a gene that was likely to bring about fatal cancer, but the cancer had not struck yet and the person had just lost their job, if you asked them about the most important problem they were facing today, they'd likely talk about their job…
Higher than expected.
If we study sSpain, the green endeavors will work very well to create havoc in the economy. Borrow money and raise taxes to purchase a much more xpensive source of electricity and kill jobs.
What Shall We Conclude?
In order to figure out what to conclude from any pieces of research, one should really "get into" them in detail, consider both quantitative and qualitative research, and do a lot more than I'm able to do, reading this, this morning.
That said, I'll offer a couple considerations …
First, here, I DON'T think the case is that the answers to one question are somehow "wrong" while the answers to the other question are giving us the complete straight scoop, at least if the other aspects of methodology are sound in both cases. In other words, the answers to the questions worded in BOTH ways are telling us certain things about the issues AND about human psychology. The point is not to misinterpret or misunderstand the answers.
Humans are fairly shortsighted and tend to focus, behaviorally, on matters that are pressing in the near term. So, if a question is worded in a way that allows that, facilitates that, or even perhaps hints at that (in its wording), then the answers to that question will most likely contain the things that most people feel are acutely pressing in the near-term. But, if a question is worded in a way that focuses the mind on the really big picture and on the longer term, people can consider that question (with whatever mixture of "cognition" and "emotion" it brings up) and provide an answer that suits the question and expresses the best of their "big picture" thinking.
In other words, people can say "jobs and the economy are the acute pressing problems today" AND ALSO SAY "in the long term, if we don't address it, global warming will be the largest problem the world faces". These statements can both be reflective of how those people are feeling and thinking.
So, yes, it's very important to have that information. In that important sense, I agree with the main theme and point of the post. Without asking the reworded question, i.e., the one that focuses the mind on the future, one can get the impression that people don't care about global warming. So, I think that the reworded question adds lots of value and provides necessary and helpful information. In these senses, I agree with the post's point, of course. Bravo!
But, to be clear, having the answer to that question doesn't negate the answer to the (different) question posed in the other way. In other words, people are telling you two things about themselves. Indeed, when you look at both sets of results, they say what they mean (if you interpret them in the context of the full picture) AND they also indicate the aspect of "human nature" that we've been talking about — our normal shortsightedness (on average).
When it comes to actual action, what do the answers to these questions tell you? They tell you (as far as I can guess from reading the brief post here) that these people would like the government to tackle BOTH problems: jobs and the economy, AND global warming. When people are thinking, and when they aren't faced with having to make tradeoffs, they want ALL of the vitally important problems fixed — both the short-term ones and those that are perceived as the longer-term ones.
But, the answers to these questions leave unclear what people would answer if they were faced with tradeoffs: "If the government can only address one important problem in the next six months, do you think it should be the economy or global warming?" That sort of thing.
And, I wouldn't conclude from these answers (at all) that "see, people get it". Instead, I'd conclude from these answers the following: When a question essentially asks us to think in the big-picture and long-term, then a much greater number of people are shown to have great concern about global warming as a long-term issue, much more so than pollsters would conclude if they only considered answers to questions that don't call for long-term thinking and that mix pressing short-term problems with global warming (which itself is perceived by many people as a problem that isn't as pressing, which itself indicates that many people don't really get it).
In other words, the answers to the question worded in the new way tell us that many people (still not as many as should be the case) are deeply concerned about global warming as a long-term problem that should or must be addressed. But, of course, that doesn't mean that most people "get it". Nor does it even mean that all of these people (who answer this way) really "get it". After all, many of those people might still think of global warming as something that we can address ten or fifteen years from now, as long as we do. In other words, many of those people may not understand the urgency of getting started. And, as mentioned, these answers don't really tell us the answer to the "if only one or two things can be addressed in the next year" question.
What I'm saying is this: This work adds a great deal of value, and it's great (and fascinating) to see how the answers to the various questions are different. But, in my view, both sets of answers tell us something about the issues themselves AND about "human nature". The task, of course, is to interpret and understand the answers to both questions, given all answers to both questions. The answers to the question worded in one way don't "negate" the answers to the other question: Instead, taken together, they all tell us something (assuming that other aspects of methodology are sound). And — an important thing — I don't think that we should conclude that "people 'get it' after all" from the answers to either question. I'm not saying that many members of the public aren't insisting on action by the government. They are. But not enough are. And, not many people (still) are putting the degree of "pressure" on government figures that is necessary for most government figures to "commit" to addressing the problem. We'll know when huge and sufficient numbers of people really "get" the global warming problem when tens of millions of people are boycotting the worst offenders and when millions of people are out in the streets (responsibly) demanding action. That's when we can conclude that large numbers of people "get it".
Bravo to the Stanford folks. Great insight.
What's my biggest problem in the future? dying. Because it's going to happen someday. Not next year or decade, as per my predictions, but someday.
In the end we are all dead. so why should someone who works in a hazardous job like coal mining care about something in the far off future that they certainly probably have been told by people they trust is not going to happen anyway. About like telling soldiers in afganistan to quit smoking.
Or as polls showed, telling teenagers that they could get cancer when they are older has less influence than telling them smoking makes their skin look bad now, or cuts their wind for sports.
How do you get a country to care about the future when their average savings rate is zero before a severe economic resession and still only up to 4 percent when they are in that recession. In 2004, people in the US took out over 900 billion in home equity loans, presumably much of it to spend now and pay off the debt later.
Or how to solve the obesity and other health problems. 70 percent of medical care spending would be solved by a better food diet, eliminate excessive drinking and smoking, more exercise and activity, and better concern to safety. How fast will that get fixed.
In a personal survey of 100 percent of the people I have talked to about global warming and greenhouse gases, they may care on some abstract level, but won't do anything politically or otherwise constructive about it. Which leaves it to Government to put in the incentives to make it happen.
Sarah Palin's 2nd book is now #120 on Amazon (it hit ~#50 yesterday), and it won't be out for more than six months.
Gov Palin seems to understand people and what they care about.
The results are somewhat reassuring, but also show that Americans and our poltical system are not at all adept working toward the solution of long-term problems. I recently finished teaching a class in population ecology. Almost all of our conservation modeling looked at 50 or 100 year model runs. Perhaps such an experience is needed for people to think about the long term. Studies of geology and evolution should also encourage the longer term perspectives that seem uncommon in our society and world.
Genny Carroll wrote: "Gov Palin seems to understand people and what they care about."
Not completely.
When you say "if nothing is done to stop it" in the question you bring into subconscious awareness the debate about climate and what's been said about it, triggering that response over and above other topics (except maybe terrorism, although the wording is different.) I don't think it necessarily means people consciously believe what they're saying.
The fact that 25% consider climate change important in the future (remember, this means 75% still don't) seems likely to mean they're confused by right wing propaganda and bad reporting and believe it's not happening now. How far off do they think it is, would be the next logical question, and what evidence or sources do they have to support that would be the one after that. When people say they're more concerned with economic problems than ecologic problems it means they don't understand the relationship between the 2–that the economy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ecology. All this points to a dire need for education, in basic science and the philosohy and methods of science, in climate science, in ecological science, and in critical thinking.
The fact that the most important problem is not climate for 95% of us no matter how it's worded is worrisome, to say the least.
And G Carroll: Especially for people with money and a political agenda there are ways to manipulate book sales to make a book appear more popular than it is. A watch that's stopped is still right twice a day, even though it has no understanding of time. The fact that Ms. Palin is just as stupid and psychologically disturbed, and in the same ways, as the average Amurican in no way proves that she understands anything; in fact it's strong evidence to the contrary.
Sarah Palin's 2nd book is now #120 on Amazon (it hit ~#50 yesterday), and it won't be out for more than six months.
And who bought all this books? Talking about manipulation. Why not buy some books to push it into top ranks at Amazon. And you could still resell or give them away for free.
Oil Companies Manipulate Markets and Gouge Consumers, Harming Both Economy and Environment
Recent federal investigations have also revealed that U.S. energy markets are susceptible to market manipulation by these oil behemoths. BP, already under investigation for allegedly manipulating the U.S. propane market in 2004, is facing new scrutiny in a federal probe about manipulation of crude oil and gasoline markets. Energy trading markets where prices for energy are set were recently deregulated, raising additional concerns that oil companies, hedge funds and investment banks are gouging consumers in the futures exchanges.
This shows a certain level of ignorance overall for the American people….or perhaps unawareness is a more gentle term. The United States is the biggest polluter in the world, and, in terms of harmful greenhouse gases about the worst. What people have to understand is that this directly relates to our beloved countries downward spiral in health trend. Chronic lung diesease in our most innocent population (children, 5x more vulnerable to toxic industrial waste) is up 160% in past 20 years, childhoeed cancer such as leukemia up 30% same timeframe, emerging ilnesses with women such as fibromyalgia, breast cancer, colon cancer, prostrate cancer in men….all up and scientifically proven to be 90% environmental (less than 10% of all cancer is hereditary) and even within that less than 10%, a person predisposed to some genetic gene mutation may be less likely to get cancer (if take measures to prevent) than sometone not having any hereditary link, but living within even 30 miles from an oil refinery, coal mine, nuclear power plant, cell tower and other industrial plants proven to be linked to terminal illness. Yet, we keep economic woes are our biggest problem. The U.S. is still the richest country in the world….its the allocation of funds not right. Cutting budgets in schools the worst thing we could do for our country, our children are our most valuable asset and should not bear burden of U.S. mistakes at spending money on uncessary wars. Poerful? Not. A powerful nftion takes care of its people and environment, understands that job losses due to answering the wake up call to stop oil drilling, stop denpendence on oil and coal are not as huge as lifes lost due to this dirty energy sources. That is what a resume is for. Transfer skills to something more useful. So ingrained in people's brains that profit and materializm is so important, the human element has gone off to the wayside. God Bless America!Remember, protecting the planet means protecting people, and the US. is the biggest culprit in polluting God's creation. Do you love our country enough to see it for what it is, and want to help heal it? Or blindfolded into staying the old status quo? Like an indivual who can stand up and say "hey I've made mistakes, let me learn by them" I think the strongest Americans, the strongest "Patriots" today see our wars as WRONG, our over industrialzied, over commercialized country in wrong direction. Technology is great, if only clean technology.

The day before Bobby Hamilton died was a happy one.
"It's emotional and hard, but I feel closest to him here. I know it makes him smile."
-- Lori Hamilton
He rested on the couch at home, watching an Elvis documentary on television, tapping his foot to the beat of the good songs, shaking an ol' ornery finger in disapproval of the ones he didn't like.
He'd battled head and neck cancer for an entire year but was in great spirits. He never lost that dogged determination that had long defined him, never lost hope he'd overcome. Hamilton's gruff exterior concealed a warmth and caring from most folks.
But it was there, deep within. And it was present until the moment he died.
"His spirit never faded," said Lori Hamilton, Bobby Hamilton's wife and chief caregiver throughout his cancer battle. "I didn't realize he'd die that day."
Bobby Hamilton died Jan. 7. He was 49 years old. Throughout the previous year, if he was even remotely physically able, he was at the Bobby Hamilton Racing shop in Mount Juliet, Tenn.
Some days he'd head to the doctor for chemotherapy in the morning and be in the shop that evening. The next day he'd do his best to rest in the morning, then knock off the dust from the chemo and mosey on into work in the afternoon.
Chemo was manageable. Radiation was not.
"Radiation knocked his socks off," Lori said. "It took him a couple months to recover from that."
Still, he worked.
"If he felt good, whether it was for six hours or one hour or eight, he was at the shop," Lori Hamilton said. "If Bobby wasn't at the shop, there were phone calls made to him, conference calls from the shop. People came to the house. He was extremely hands-on.
"A lot of times he wouldn't feel good and I'd bring him to the shop, and in the conference room we put a couch and a recliner, and he'd sit there and the guys would come in and talk to him. Most people would be in the bed. He'd say, 'Take me to my couch at the race shop.'"
As his battle with cancer worsened, the trips were less frequent. But that didn't mean he wasn't running the show. In December, from home, Lori Hamilton said her husband made the decision to replace crew chief Danny Gill with Jeff White.
"He was hands-on up until about three weeks before he died," she said.
Now the team is focused on 2007. Factory-backed by Dodge Motorsports, BHR will field a pair of trucks, and has pieced together a four-man management team, hand-picked by Hamilton before his death. They will announce that group formally during Speed Weeks at Daytona.
Two weeks ago, in announcing his departure from Bobby Hamilton Racing, Bobby Hamilton Jr. blasted the team, saying he'd "washed his hands and dried them of it -- and I'm worried about myself."
Hamilton Jr. also spoke heatedly about those currently running BHR, saying "there's people involved in it now that I just don't like, period. I don't like how it was run and I don't like where it's going."
Lori Hamilton, who married Bobby Hamilton on Sept. 29, 2006, said those words were directed at her.
"He's taking a stab at me," she said. "But the person who is ultimately overseeing operations is Lois."
Lois Vance is the executor and trustee of Bobby's will.
"She's a longtime friend of his, and his banker," Lori said. "She met with Bobby on numerous occasions and he went over how he wanted it to be, both personally and in his business."
Lori Hamilton said all she and the team can do is wish Bobby Jr. the best.
"I was with Bobby for a while, and I know how much he loved his son, and how much Bobby Jr. loved his dad," Lori Hamilton said. "All his dad ever wanted [for Bobby Jr.] was success, and that's all I can wish him, too."
On they trudge.
"This place is smooth sailing right now," Lori said. "It's fun again. Lois spoke with Bobby regarding who he wanted where, and it's going very well. Bobby left a plan in place, months out. That plan is what we're pushing through."
All at BHR miss Hamilton dearly, and it's no surprise where they feel closest to him.
"You feel him here at the shop, definitely. This is where I feel closest to Bobby," Lori said. "You live in a house, but when you work on a race team, you spend more time at the shop than you do at home."
Hamilton was famous for plopping down in the middle of the shop floor and just sitting, keeping a watchful eye on all facets of his team. He built that shop. It was his pride. He spent every waking minute on-site until he was too sick to come.
"The day that we buried Bobby, the [crew] guys had to take turns to come to the funeral home," Lori said. "They had to come back to work. That's what Bobby would have wanted. About 10 [p.m.], I brought a cake over.
"I was so tired, but I needed to feel him. I knew if those guys were here, Bobby would be here. We just sat around and ate cake. We just want the company to move forward. Everybody is in position and we want to do it -- not with Bobby, but for him.
"It's emotional and hard, but I feel closest to him here. I know it makes him smile."

Could Low-Fat Yogurt Help Ward Off Diabetes?
By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 5, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- People looking to avoid type 2 diabetes might want to increase the amount of yogurt they eat, a new study by British researchers suggests.
According to the results, eating yogurt could reduce the risk of developing diabetes by 28 percent, compared to not eating any yogurt. Additionally, eating some other fermented dairy products, such as low-fat cheeses, could cut the risk by 24 percent.
"What our study shows is that yogurt should be part of a healthy diet," said lead researcher Dr. Nita Forouhi, group leader of the nutritional epidemiology program at the Medical Research Council at the University of Cambridge.
Although this study did not directly address the nutrients in yogurt or low-fat fermented dairy products that are most beneficial, previous information suggests what they're likely to be, she said.
"These include calcium, magnesium, vitamin D (in fortified dairy products) and potentially beneficial fatty acids, which are present in dairy products generally," Forouhi said. "Fermented dairy products, including yogurt, are likely to have the further benefits of specific types of vitamin K and probiotic bacteria."
She cautioned that this study "does not prove a cause-and-effect relationship, but highlights the importance of considering food group subtypes in diet/disease associations. Much past research has focused on overall total dairy products intake, whereas our research was able to examine subtypes of dairy products."
The university-funded study was published Feb. 5 in the journal Diabetologia.
Samantha Heller, a senior clinical nutritionist at NYU Langone Medical Center, in New York City, said the new study "appears to echo what some studies, but not all, have found, which is that low-fat dairy foods may help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes."
Emerging research suggests that gut microbes play important roles in the development of type 2 diabetes, inflammation and other diseases, she said.
"Scientists are also looking at the effects of fermented soybean products in preventing or in delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes," Heller said. "Fermented foods contain probiotic bacteria that are good for the gastrointestinal tract. Fermented foods include yogurt and cottage cheese with live, active cultures, miso, kimchi, kefir [a yogurt-based drink], sauerkraut and tempeh."

We're a group in the process of migrating our site to a plain WordPress+BuddyPress setup. We currently have the beta tester plug-in installed, as we need the 3.0 version for an essential plug-in. We are still weighing our options for 2.9.2.
We're in a rush, so we might choose to go live with a v3.0 Beta2/RC1 + Beta Tester site. Question is, when WP3.0 Stable is out, will we be able to easily upgrade to the stable, remove Beta Tester and be just like any other stable install without any sneaky Beta Tester remains or otherwise 'development code' lying around somewhere?
Would it be an option to simply install RC1 without the Beta Tester, and as RC2 and Stable comes out we will get to easily upgrade to these without using the Beta Tester? Same thing?

Civilian Education System
What is it? The Civilian Education System (CES) concept originated from a Chief of Staff, Army (CSA) mandate to implement and sustain a CES that provided enhanced training and education opportunities for Army civilian leaders comparable to that provided to officers, warrant officers, and noncommissioned officers. The CES leader development program includes the Civilian Foundation Course (for new Army civilians) and three levels of leader development training - the Basic Course (for First-Line supervisors), the Intermediate Course (for more senior supervisors), and the Advanced Course (for managers of supervisors or programs). The CES learning strategy is progressive and sequential with each course providing required leader training for the current role and the building blocks for the next. The CES training strategy is a combination of distributed learning and resident instruction. CES courses are based on leadership competencies from the Office of Personnel Management and the Center for Army Leadership's FM 6-22, Army Leadership. In order to promote full participation across the Army, training policies will support mandatory training for civilians in leadership positions and a life-long learning approach.
What has the Army done? In accordance with the CSA-approved Army Training and Leader Development-Civilian (ATLD-Civ) Implementation Plan (dated June 2003), proponency for civilian leader development was transferred from the Deputy Chief of Staff (Personnel) to the Deputy Chief of Staff (Operations) with Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) as executive agent.

Israel Benchmark Yield Drops to 2-Week Low on Deficit Risk Bets
Israeli benchmark government bonds rose, pushing the yield to the lowest level in more than two weeks, on bets Finance Minister Yair Lapid will take steps to meet the deficit target.
The yield on the 4.25 percent benchmark notes due March 2023 fell five basis points, or 0.05 percentage point, to 3.95 percent, the lowest since March 7, at the close in Tel Aviv. The shekel strengthened to a 17-month high, gaining 0.3 percent to 3.6550 a dollar on March 22, as Israel renewed diplomatic ties with Turkey. Israeli markets will be closed until March 27 for the Passover holiday.
Lapid, who was last week sworn in, wrote on his Facebook page, that cuts will have to be made "where it hurts" to deal with overspending. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for early elections last year after his coalition partners refused to approve 14 billion shekels ($3.8 billion) in budget cuts to meet a deficit target of 3 percent of economic output. The central bank will at 5:30 p.m. announce the benchmark rate for the next two months.
"Lapid's comments point to a fiscally responsible policy going forward which will include making necessary cuts," said Amir Kahanovich, chief economist at Clal Finance Brokerage Ltd. in Tel Aviv. "Reduced risk to the deficit is pushing government yields down."
The country last year posted a current-account deficit of $199 million, compared with a revised surplus of $3.4 billion in 2011 and $8.1 billion in 2010, the Central Bureau of Statistics said March 14. The shekel strengthened as Netanyahu and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed to normalize ties and reinstate ambassadors. The currency rose 1.6 percent this month, the third-best performer among 31 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg.

The Bank of Israel, which has gradually cut its borrowing rate to 1.75 percent from 3.25 percent in 2011 to boost economic growth, will probably leave the rate steady at today's Monetary Policy Committee meeting, according to 16 out of 21 analysts in a Bloomberg survey. The remainder forecast a quarter-point cut to 1.5 percent. One-year interest-rate swaps, an indicator of investor expectations for rates over the period, fell less than one basis point to 1.59 percent on March 22.
"We may see the central bank save its ammunition this time and cut the lending rate in coming months to stem the shekel rally," said Kahanovich.
Economic surveys indicate an "improvement in expectations of economic activity in the business sector" and the most-recent monthly indicators show a possibility that there was some improvement in January activity, according to the central bank minutes of the last rate decision on March 11. The country's unemployment rate rose to 6.7 percent in February from 6.5 percent a month earlier, the statistics bureau said today.
Fund Flows
Israel's annual inflation rate remained at 1.5 percent in February from the previous month, the statistics bureau said March 15. The two-year break-even rate, the yield difference between inflation-linked bonds and fixed-rate government debt of similar maturity, was increased less than one basis point to 261. That implies an average annual inflation rate of 2.61 percent.
Local funds raised 68 percent less last week, Meitav Investment House Ltd. said in an e-mailed report today. Corporate-bond funds pulled in 33 million shekels compared with 104 million shekels, it said. The Tel Aviv Bond 40 Index, which measures inflation-linked and fixed-rate corporate bonds, rose 0.2 percent to 284.58.

The military declared a 10pm until 5am curfew, suspended the
constitution and told outgoing cabinet ministers to report to
an army base in the north of the capital. Rival protest camps
were ordered to disperse and media censored.
US Secretary of State John Kerry said there was no
justification for a coup which would have "negative
implications" for ties. The United States was reviewing its
military and other assistance "consistent with US law".
Thailand is locked in a protracted power struggle between
supporters of ousted former premier Thaksin Shinawatra and
opponents backed by the royalist establishment that has
polarised the country and battered its economy.
"In order for the situation to return to normal quickly and
for society to love and be at peace again ... and to reform
the political, economic and social structure, the military
needs to take control of power," Prayuth said in the
televised address.
The general made his broadcast after a meeting to which he
had summoned the rival factions in the drawn-out political
conflict, with the aim of finding a compromise to end six
months of anti-government protests.
But no progress was made and Prayuth wound up the gathering
by announcing he was seizing power, according to a
The Thai armed forces have a long history of intervening in
politics - there have been 18 previous successful or
attempted coups since the country became a constitutional
monarchy in 1932, most recently when Thaksin was deposed in
Hundreds of soldiers surrounded the meeting at Bangkok's Army
Club shortly before the coup announcement and troops took
away Suthep Thaugsuban, leader of the protests against the
pro-Thaksin government.
Some political party leaders were also detained.
Prayuth assumed the duties and responsibilities of the prime
minister, the military said.
The army ordered rival protest camps to break up and soldiers
fired into the air to disperse thousands of pro-government
"red shirt" activists gathered in Bangkok's western
outskirts. The military detained at least one leader of the
activists, said a spokesman for the group, Thanawut
The protesters later left peacefully and the military laid on
transport to take people away.
The army also ordered television and radio stations to halt
normal programmes and broadcast its material, and banned
gatherings of more than five people. It said it would suspend
websites that spread false information or incited unrest.
Earlier, it warned people not to spread inflammatory material
on social media.
The army had declared martial law on Tuesday, saying it was
necessary to prevent violence.
Twenty-eight people have been killed and 700 injured since
the anti-government protests erupted late last year.
"Martial law may have been to test the waters, the army gave
the opposing camps a chance to negotiate a way out but I
think the endgame was always the military taking over," said
Kan Yuanyong of the Siam Intelligence Unit think-tank.
"The possibility of conflict is now much higher," he said.
"Thaksin will fight back."
Former telecommunications tycoon Thaksin has lived in
self-exile since 2008 to avoid a jail term for graft, but
still commands the loyalty of legions of rural and urban poor
and exerts a huge influence over politics, most recently
through a government run by his sister, Yingluck Shinawatra.
He was not available for comment but a pro-Thaksin activist
in his hometown of Chiang Mai said there was no immediate
plan to protest.
"As of now we will not head to Bangkok, no plans. We will
follow today's situation closely first," said Mahawon Kawang.
Kerry said he was disappointed and concerned by reports that
political leaders had been detained, and called for their
"This act will have negative implications for the U.S.-Thai
relationship, especially for our relationship with the Thai
military," he said in a statement.
The Pentagon said it was reviewing its military assistance
and engagements, including an ongoing exercise involving
about 700 U.S. Marines and sailors.
Under U.S. law, no foreign aid may flow to a country whose
duly elected head of government is deposed in a coup, but the
language of the law gives the Obama administration some
latitude in how to interpret it.
It would be unusual for the U.S. State Department to make any
quick decision on whether such assistance had to be cut off.
There was condemnation from France and the United Nations
human rights office.
Japan said the coup was regrettable and it called for a swift
restoration of democracy. Australian Foreign Minister Julie
Bishop said she was "gravely concerned" and warned tourists
to be careful.
In a first round of talks on Wednesday, Prayuth had called on
the two sides to agree on a compromise that would have hinged
around the appointment of an interim prime minister,
political reforms and the timing of an election.
But neither side backed down from their entrenched positions,
participants said.
"As we cannot find a way to bring the country to peace and
noone will back down I would like to announce that I will
take power. Everyone must sit still," Prayuth told the
meeting, according to one participant who declined to be
Leaders of the ruling Puea Thai Party and the opposition
Democrat Party, the Senate leader and the five-member
Election Commission had joined the talks.
Yingluck was forced to step down as premier by a court two
weeks ago, but her caretaker government, buffeted by six
months of protests against it, had remained nominally in
Thailand's gross domestic product contracted 2.1 percent in
January-March from the previous three months, largely because
of the unrest, adding to fears it is stumbling into
But weary investors have generally taken Thailand's frequent
political upheavals in their stride, and analysts said the
impact on markets in Southeast Asia's second largest economy
might not be too severe.
Thailand's SET index closed before the coup announcement,
ending 0.2 percent higher. The index is up 8 percent this
year. The baht weakened to 32.54 to the dollar after the coup
announcement, from 32.38 earlier.
The anti-government protesters want to rid the country of the
influence of Thaksin, who they say is a corrupt crony
capitalist who commandeered a fragile democracy and used
taxpayers' money to buy votes with populist giveaways.
They wanted a "neutral" interim prime minister to oversee
electoral reforms before any new vote.
The government and its supporters said a general election was
the best way forward and it had proposed polls on Aug. 3, to
be followed by reforms. It would probably win such a vote.

"Ben Poole and his band are now veterans of the Cambridge Rock Festival having wowed the crowds for the last few years. Starting out on Stage 2 now stolen by Stage 1 - see him play and you will fully understand. A great player with more than his fair share of what it takes! Roadhouse also came the same route from CRF, a super blues rock band to get the night off to a crackin' start..."

The Ben Poole Band
Infused with a hard-hitting in-yer-face rock approach and topped off by virtuoso musicianship, Ben Poole is being hailed as THE new up-and-coming UK blues guitarist.
The Ben Poole Band tour dates
Roadhouse was formed in 1991 by Gary Boner, ably assisted throughout by the driving bass of Bill Hobley and the the powerful drumming of Roger Hunt. Seizing on an eclectic mix of influences from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Creedence Clearwater Revival, the band has developed a sound all of its own. In the words of a recent Blues Matters review: "They veer towards the rocky side of the Blues, but are clearly Blues based and play in a punchy style with musicianship of the highest quality".

Is it possible to take a Powerpoint master slide and convert it to something that can be used with beamer? My organization requires the use of Powerpoint, but I can get away with presenting pdf's provided that the looks are the same. (I've seen several posts that talk about going from beamer to Powerpoint, but not in the opposite direction.)

So, this is my question: how do I hide some (or all) of the menus from my menu bar in OS X. A lot of the applications I use have very large menus that I never or very rarely actually use (I know the keyboard shortcuts for the functions I need). On the other hand the right side of the menu bar is useful, since it gives me access to things like wifi and bluetooth status, vpn connections, caffeine, etc. Unfortunately the menus take a lot of space and overlap with the menulets and hide them, especially on a small laptop screen. Sometimes I won't even be able to see the time, if the application is particularly bad about the number of menus.
So, I would like to either hide all menus completely (and then use something like MenuPop in case I actually need one of those functions) or have the menulets on the right take precedence in being displayed rather than the menus on the left. Any ideas?
