European Bonds Advance, Led by Portugal, Amid Deflation Concern
European government bonds rose, with Portuguese 10-year yields dropping below 4 percent for the first time since 2010, as data showing Spanish consumer prices fell this month buoyed the case for monetary stimulus.
Spain's two-year yields dropped below those in the U.K. for the first time since 2009 as the National Statistics Institute INE in Madrid said consumer-price inflation, calculated using a European Union method, fell from a year ago, the first decline since October 2009. Germany's bonds pared a weekly gain even as a report showed the inflation rate slipped to the lowest since 2010. Greek bonds also rallied. The European Central Bank meets next week to set monetary policy.
"The bond market is taking the inflation data positively," said Peter Schaffrik, head of European rates strategy at Royal Bank of Canada in London. "It appears to make the case for ECB action stronger. Imminently, I don't see any need for action. If we see further drops in inflation, there is something to come from the ECB, but that's not our base case."
Portugal's 10-year yield fell two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 4.04 percent at 4:19 p.m. London time after dropping to 3.98 percent, the lowest since January 2010. The 5.65 percent bond due in February 2024 rose 0.145, or 1.45 euros per 1,000-euro ($1,375) face amount, to 112.865.
German Yields
The rate on similar-maturity Spanish bonds slipped one basis point to 3.24 percent, having fallen from 3.36 percent at the end of last week. The yield touched 3.20 percent, the lowest since 2005. Benchmark German 10-year yields rose two basis points to 1.55 percent after dropping to 1.50 percent on March 14, the least since July 19. The rate has declined eight basis points this week.
Euro-area bonds have been boosted by speculation that the ECB will implement further stimulus measures when it meets on April 3. ECB Governing Council member Luis Maria Linde said this week policy makers take the risk of deflation seriously and more monetary easing hadn't been ruled out.
German consumer prices rose 0.9 percent in March from a year ago, the lowest since June 2010. A euro-area report due for release on March 31 will show consumer-price growth slowed to an annual 0.6 percent in March, the least since November 2009, a separate Bloomberg survey showed.
Euro-region bonds are rising after inflation stayed below 1 percent in each of the past five months. That's less than half the central bank's 2 percent goal and risks the region sliding into deflation, a sustained drop in prices that stifles growth. ECB officials next decide on interest rates on April 3.
The euro-area 10-year consumer-price swap rate fell to 1.69 percent today, the lowest on a closing-market basis since 2008.
Investors Return
The prospect of more stimulus from the ECB is extending a rally that's been fueled by investors returning to the markets they shunned during the debt crisis.
Irish 10-year bond yields fell to a record 2.969 percent today, having been as high as 14.219 percent in July 2011. The country sold 1 billion euros of 2024 bonds on March 13, ending a three-year hiatus from bond auctions when it was under the protection of an international bailout.
Greece's 10-year yield fell 22 basis points today to 6.67 percent. The nation is set to receive a commitment from euro-region authorities as soon as next week for a payment of 8.3 billion euros in the next step in the country's aid program, three officials familiar with the negotiations said.
Portuguese bonds earned 12 percent this year through yesterday, according to Bloomberg World Indexes. Italian securities returned 5.2 percent and Spain's earned 5.9 percent.

Britannica Web sites
Articles from Britannica encyclopedias for elementary and high school students.
- Jackie Wilson - Children's Encyclopedia (Ages 8-11)
Jackie Wilson was an American musical performer who became famous as one of the first great soul singers. He had many hit singles and was admired by such artists as Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.
- Jackie Wilson - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
(1934-84). The American singer Jackie Wilson was among the artists who fused 1950s doo-wop, rock, and blues styles into the soul music of the 1960s. His stylistic innovations were as important in the evolution of American popular music as those of James Brown, Nat King Cole, or Sam Cooke, even though his recordings were not as commercially successful as theirs were.

Perfectionism is linked to a range of psychological disorders. Burnout is an important construct in the working population and has been found to overlap with related constructs such as depression. There has been limited research conducted between perfectionism and burnout. This study aimed to examine the link between perfectionism and burnout and if procrastination and over commitment to work were mediators of the relationship. There were 69 participants recruited who were seeking counselling from a counselling firm, providing employee assistance services. The results indicated that procrastination was not a significant mediator of the relationship between concern over mistakes (CM) perfectionism and burnout. There was a significant mediating relationship found, where overcommitment to work mediated the relationship between CM perfectionism leading to burnout. The implications of the study in terms of interventions for employees suffering burnout, and directions for future research in regards to the relationship between perfectionism and burnout are considered.

I've been searching a lot of dictionary websites for the antonym of dispenser. I was wondering if anybody could think of one.
English Language & Usage Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for linguists, etymologists, and serious English language enthusiasts. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Perhaps also withholder or inhibitor in the sense that a dispenser allocates/distributes/gives and a withholder or inhibitor would hold back or keep.
Collector works in many situations; one person dispenses information, another collects it.
Receiver or taker, I would say. Maybe even recipient or acceptor.

Some of you may know I've been very busy lately setting up my new company Stepping Tones. It really has taken a lot of hard work to get things this far. I trained for 3 years between London, Manchester and Canterbury, devised a company name, the logo, tagline, posters, website and found and booked a venue: now I am thrilled to announce some brand new classes, starting in September!
Music and movement (Dalcroze Eurhythmics) for primary-aged children. Most of you will be familiar with some of the movement exercises I include in piano lessons. These classes will be along a similar vein, with more space to move, more children to collaborate with, more singing, more games, more learning!
Saturdays at Derby Moor School.
9:30 – 10:15am – Ages 5-8 (£7),
10:30am – 11:30am – Ages 9 -12 (£9)
FREE TRIAL Saturday 14th September. To sign up, click here.
Mondays at 12, The Hollow.
Provisional timetable – 4:30pm – Ages 7-11, 5:30pm – Ages 12 – 17, 7pm – Adult beginners (self taught musicians VERY welcome)
£9 per hour, per person, paid monthly in advance. Class times will be confirmed once I have enough people to run the class.
Suitable for those who write music, or would like to start. I can help adults in bands, children who need to compose for GCSE, or for other exams, or anybody who plays any instrument, and would like to understand how to put together a piece of music.
My website www.steppingtones.co.uk contains details of all the class I'll be running and Facebook users can like my page. Please share this email with other adult-musicians, pupils or parents who might be interested!
Finally, I'm looking for a few testimonials for my website. If you would like to send a short comment about the work I do, it would really help me out.
Thanks everyone!

Re: Can I send this letter to the CRAs for deletion?[ Edited ]

So not what I wanted to hear ;-)
In the time I have been in here, I have seen some solid examples of PFD or even GW success whereby the creditor said they'd delete. Knowing the history of the OC/CA, I felt very confident they would delete quickly, but unfortunately the poster would post that they disputed it instead. Where it would normally take a week or two or three (they always say 30-60 days to cover their butts), it took a month or longer because I'm positive the dispute delayed the baddie's demise. What I think happens is that the OC/CA puts it in their system to delete. They mostly update in batches. Unfortunately a dispute can come in to them before the update resulting in a delay while they investigate the validity of the baddie. That slows the deletion process by up to 30-45 days, or the dispute time frame. Had the ex-debtor only waited....But I've seen some in here that always delete within a week or two after sending the letter only to result in a delay of a month or two before it falls off [because of a dispute request].

Presbyterian Support Otago retail assistant Donna Knox said
the first batch of the 300 pairs of polished, donated boots
went on sale on Monday.
''We will be putting out new boots each week.''
The boots on sale were in a range of sizes and priced between
$10 and $60. The $60 stock included some brown Brazilian
genuine leather boots.
The sale would continue until the final pair of boots had
walked out the door, she said.
Presbyterian Support Otago development director Lisa Wells
said in the first week of the sale last year, 100 pairs of
boots were sold and 290 in the sale.
''This year we hope to exceed that figure,'' she said.
The proceeds would help fund Family Works Otago, Presbyterian
Support Otago's services for children, young people and
''Sale proceeds go towards family services such as parenting
programmes, social work, budgeting and youth work.''

Well done Leicester on beating Scunthorpe away.Next we have the bottom clube Crewe....... We don't seem to do well against teams that we should beat, so my question is can we do it? Can we get promoted ?Comments please.
Off course we can, 4 points clear at the top, a point of Leeds would be a good result. I can see us winning this league by a mile with Fryatt putting them in the net. With a bit of help from the midfield we should romp this division with no trouble.
Of course!! With Matty Fryatt we are sure to be crowned champions. but without him, who knows?!?!

- Battery Doors Overview
The battery door is a simple but essential component of most cell phones. Its function is straightforward: protect the battery from the elements while nonetheless allowing for easy removal and replacement. Because battery doors are removable, however, and because they cover much of the back of a phone, they can be particularly susceptible to damage and loss. Going without a battery door for any length of time is, moreover, a bad idea; doing so exposes the battery and its connectors to various damaging elements, including heat, dust, and moisture.
Battery doors have come to serve another, less straightforward purpose, however: they're also one of the simplest ways to customize and stylize your phone. If the prospect of putting your phone in a skin or case is unappealing, substituting a new battery door may be the best (or only) way to make a bold aesthetic statement with your device.
Battery doors are designed and produced by cell phone manufacturers, as well as by third party accessory developers like Tokidoki, and are available in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and images designed to help set your phone apart. Of course, if you simply want to replace a stock battery door, or if you've upgraded your battery to an extended life version, cell phone manufacturers offer replacement doors in the full spectrum of original colors.

The Essential Joe Diffie (Epic/Legacy)
With his chiseled baritone and a fistful of well-chosen songs, Joe rose easily above the crowd of country's early-'90s boom. He gave us the gentle lope of "Home," the retro-cool "If the Devil Danced (in Empty Pockets)," the bleakly romantic "Ships That Don't Come In" -- the list goes on and on.
All these and more can be found on The Essential Joe Diffie, and it's a joy to hear them again. Just like his name suggests, Joe is a regular guy with a humble attitude -- one who just happens to be a superb song stylist. Listen and be reminded.

I am new to running WordPress on domain. Running the free version gave me some idea of how this works.
I searched through a bunch of past topics and didn't find a similar question - even though this is so basic. I would have thought it had happened before!
I cant change the header picture - it uploads and I can see (many) in the Media section.
The uploader runs to 100% but never gets to the second screen to allow the cropping and adjustment and saving.
My thought is there is a problem with my uploaded version of WP?
In a similar vein, adding a new Theme - the description notes uploading but it never completes the action. Again I thought it was a WP problem cause by a bad upload?
Thoughts appreciated.

I have built over a dozen WordPress websites so figure I have relatively good understanding. This Multi-site is my first, and all 'was' going to plan.
Everything was working fine, I have a master site that I have made considerable build adjustments too and it was coming along nicely. I had created a sub-domain site on the network which, again, was working well.
This is a personal project so I left the multi-site a little over a week ago to concentrate on a client build. I got a little spare time so thought I'd drop in on my multi-site to do a little tweaking and building.
The site has dropped out with no access from any browser "Oops! Google Chrome could not find yourwebsite.com" The site favicon is still showing.. Bizarre.
No FTP access.
Now, the only thing I can think of is that I had some server down time around a week ago and upon re-boot, this site has not fired up. All other WordPress and other sites booted up fine.
I'm only able now to use C-Panel, I have checked all mandatory passwords etc..
I'm completely stumped, never experienced anything like this before and ideas on what I should be troubleshooting greatly appreciated.

Stayed at this hotel during a Friday evening using a great deal from Priceline. The hotel was very easy to find and not a problem with checking in even though two other events were going on at/or near the hotel. I was happy with the underground parking that allowed access right into the elevator at the bottom of the hotel! Very helpful with three little kids and lots of suitcases. The staff was VERY willing to honor my request not only for a view of the river but also for a floor above 12. I asked for this based on previous Tripadvisor reviews! The beds were quite comfortable and extra linens were stacked nicely in the closet. We didn't have any noise problems the whole evening. I was very pleased with the staff assisting us with a "good pizza recommendation" at eleven o'clock at night. After having our kids out at the Toldeo Zoo for the "Light Up the Night" event, we came back starving and not sure of where to get "good" food at such a late hour. We were very pleased with our recommendation. We even ordered a foldaway cot which was the nicest I have seen in years. It was comfortable and arrived literally within 2 minutes of me calling the front desk. Only problem I can say was the water pressure changing from warm to scalding when another room would access their water (i.e. flush or turn their shower on). It only happened during "prime" shower time. (8 a.m. - 9:30 a.m) For the mom in the room who showered at 5:30 a.m...there were NO water problems at all. I would stay here again if I were to head to Toledo again, which we may do once we saw how nice the Toledo Mudhens stadium was right behind the hotel!!!

Crazy In The Craftroom...
From the moment I saw The Bird Crazy set that Tim Holtz designed, I knew they had to come live in my craftroom. I went to the Stampaway convention in Sharonville several weeks ago and was able to purchase The Bird Crazy set of 6 crazy birds and the Handwritten Sentiments. And last week I finally received the Crazy Things accessory set, matching framilits die collection and the Crazy Talk sentiment set.
I could hardly wait to start playing with these fun guys! Seriously, how "crazy fun" is he?! I cut a stitched panel and ink blended the evening sky and the grass using distress inks. I then colored my witchy friend using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I then cut him out using the co-ordinating die collection and his eyes and beak are popped up. The eyes and the beak are covered with glossy accents. The pumpkin is being held in place with his popped up wing. The pumpkin and the witches hat are both part of the accessory stamp and die collection.
I used a star stencil and dabbed them on using Colorbox white pigment ink. After they were dry, I added some clear wink of stella glitter pen to make them twinkle a bit.
The sentiment comes from the Crazy Talk set. The whimsy style is so fun.
And here is the completed card. I layered the main panel on a piece of smokey shadow pattern paper and then added to a true black card base. These guys just make me smile and I can't wait to spend some more time creating with them.
Well, that's it from here. I hope that you've had a great weekend. It's been a chilly one here in Cincinnati. Fall is definitely in the air.
Thanks for stopping by.

Editor's note: This post was originally written in 2012, but was updated in October 2015 to reflect new data.
Millions of Americans have enrolled in ACA-compliant health plans over the last two years, and the majority of those who purchased their coverage through the exchange are happy with both the price and the coverage. But clearly, not everyone is happy with the reforms – or the individual mandate that requires Americans to purchase health coverage.
Some folks have given serious consideration to the idea of simply not purchasing coverage. If you're one of them, one of your first concerns will be whether you'll be subject to a tax that's built into the law – and if you are, what penalty you might expect to pay.
Must you pay?
Use our calculator to see if your family may be subject to a penalty for not having health insurance. See exclusions at right.
* For most people, this will just be adjusted gross income from your tax return. But if you have tax-exempt interest or foreign earned income, you'll need to add those amount to your AGI from your 1040 and put the total amount into the penalty calculator. Make sure to include income from any dependents who are required to file a tax return.
If, for whatever reason, you decide not to purchase coverage, you can use the calculator on this page to determine the size of the penalty you would pay. (Find out how the formula for our calculator works in the box at the bottom of this page.)
But here's the good news: You may not even need to worry about a tax penalty.
A fraction of Americans are subject to the penalty
Although there were still 33 million uninsured people in the US in 2014, the IRS reported that just 7.5 million taxfilers were subject to the penalty in 2014 (out of more than 138 million returns). According to IRS data, 12 million filers qualified for an exemption (See "You won't pay a tax if:" at the top right of this page).
The number of filers subject to the ACA's penalty will likely be lower in 2015, as overall enrollment in health insurance plans has continued to grow. As awareness of the ACA's premium tax credits (subsidies) has increased, more people have opted to take the government up on its offer to help purchase insurance with a wide range of essential benefits.
And even for those who don't qualify for subsidies, the ACA has expanded access to health insurance, thanks to the guaranteed issue provision for all individual market plans. Because of pre-existing conditions, some people were unable to obtain health insurance prior to 2014, or could only get high risk pool coverage. But the ACA now allows them access to the full range of plans available in the individual market.
For those who had coverage prior to 2014 and don't qualify for a premium subsidy on a new plan, there are several options: If you have a grandfathered plan, you can keep it as long as your carrier is still offering it. If you have a grandmothered plan that is allowed to renew again for 2016 (in most states, carriers still have that option), you can keep your existing coverage. If you have a plan that is being cancelled because it's not ACA-compliant, you have the option to purchase a catastrophic plan and you're also exempt from the penalty under a hardship exemption that will be valid through October 1, 2016.
And you also have the option to purchase any of the plans available on or off-exchange in your area. Although the premium might be higher than your old plan, your coverage will almost certainly be more comprehensive thanks to the ACA's consumer protections and mandated essential health benefits.
And of course, most Americans already get health insurance either from an employer or from the government (Medicaid, Medicare, VA); they don't need to worry about the penalty because employer and government-sponsored health insurance all counts as minimum essential coverage.
How stiff will your penalty be?
You may be surprised to discover that for median-income families, the penalty that conservatives call a "tax on the middle class" is relatively modest. The IRS reported that for tax filers subject to the penalty in 2014, the average penalty amount was around $200 – although it will be considerably higher in future years. And it is a progressive tax: if a family earning $500,000 decides it doesn't want to join the rest of us in the insurance pool, it could owe a $12,000 penalty in 2016.
Today, the median net family income in the United States is roughly $52,000 (half of U.S. families earn less; half earn more.) In 2016, the penalty for a middle-income family of four earning $60,000 would be $2,085 (the flat rate penalty would be used, because it's larger than the percentage of income penalty). This is far less than the penalty a more affluent family would pay based on a percentage of their income.
The penalty can never exceed the national average cost for a bronze plan though. The IRS announced in Revenue Procedure 2015-15 that the maximum 2015 penalty would be $2,484 for a single individual and $12,420 for a family of five or more (both slightly higher than the maximum penalty amounts for 2014). The penalty caps are readjusted annually to reflect changes in the average cost of a bronze plan, but it's unlikely they will apply to very many people, since most wealthy households are already insured.
How the penalty works
Your tax is the greater of either 1) a flat-dollar amount based on the number of uninsured people in your household; or 2) a percentage of your income (up to the national average cost of a Bronze plan , as determined by the IRS and adjusted annually to reflect changes in premiums).
This means wealthier households will wind up using the second formula, and may be impacted by the upper cap on the penalty. For example: in 2016, an individual earning less than $37,000 would pay just $695 (flat-dollar calculation) while an individual earning $200,000 would pay a penalty equal to the national average cost of a bronze plan (in 2015, this is $2,484, although it will be higher in 2016). This is because 2.5% of his income above the tax filing threshold would work out to about $4,750, which is higher than the national average cost of a bronze plan.
1) Flat-dollar amount
In 2014, the flat-dollar penalty is $95 per uncovered adult (rising to $325 in 2015, and $695 in 2016) plus half that amount for each uninsured child under age 18. Your total household penalty is capped at three times the adult rate, no matter how many children you have. In 2014, that's $285 ($975 in 2015, and $2085 in 2016).
2) Percentage of income
In 2014, the penalty is 1 percent (rising to 2 percent in 2015, 2.5 percent in 2016). The penalty is capped at the average cost of a Bronze plan, which for 2015 is $2,484 for an individual and $12,420 for a family of five; this cap will adjust annually. Wealthy households will be happy to know that they will pay a penalty only on that portion of their adjusted gross income "above and beyond their filing threshold," explains the Center on Budget Policy and Priorities' Judy Solomon.
But if you look at the calculator above, you don't have to look up your filing threshold. Just enter your adjusted gross income and our calculator will do the rest. For most people, this will simply be adjusted gross income from your tax return. But if you have tax-exempt interest or foreign earned income and housing expenses for Americans living abroad, you'll need to add those amount to your AGI from your 1040 and put the total amount into the penalty calculator. Be sure to include income from any dependents who are required to file a tax return.

CINCINNATI (AP) - The Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, a civil rights
leader during the 1950s and 1960s, continues to improve from the
pneumonia and dehydration that led to his hospitalization in
Alabama a week ago.
His wife, Sephira Shuttlesworth, said Friday that her 86-year-old husband has been moved out of the intensive care unit at St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham, Ala, but is expected to remain at the hospital for at least several more days.
The civil rights leader was unconscious when hospitalized Dec. 27, but his wife says he regained consciousness Monday and has made
gradual improvement since then.
Shuttlesworth moved to Cincinnati in 1961 after helping lead the fight against segregation of schools and public facilities in Birmingham. He returned to suburban Birmingham in February for rehabilitation after a mild stroke.

At Large If I Had Wi-Fi (And Wasn't On Vacation)
posted by December 14 at 10:57 AMon
I'm still on vacation in Barcelona, and unfortunately, very few places have wifi, so I haven't been able to Slog compulsively or keep up with the news the way I'd like to. (Did you know they still don't have iPhones in Spain? It's literally the only thing I've been able to do to impress the Spanish. Butchering their language just hasn't made them love me the way I thought it would). Anyway! A few things, briefly, from afar:
1. Right fucking on, Gov. Gregoire. (And, OK, Mayor Nickels, too—although his main viaduct web page still says the city is "committed to replacing the ailing Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall.") But do you think you might give your former gubernatorial opponent Ron Sims a little credit for pushing for a surface/transit alternative for replacing the viaduct? Sims was speaking up in support of surface/transit nearly a year before Gregoire got on the bandwagon—and everyone, including Mayor Greg Nickels and Gregoire, treated him like he was crazy. Props or none, I'm glad to see the city, state and county are finally moving toward a solution that's environmentally sustainable—and that we can actually pay for.
2. Jonah noted in an email a few days ago that the family of Bryce Lewis, the 19-year-old cyclist who was struck by a dump truck and killed in September, along with Caleb Hall, a cyclist who survived the accident, are suing the driver and his company, Nelson & Sons Construction Co. According to their attorney, as quoted in the P-I, "The primary duty is on the vehicle turning right to make sure there aren't people in the bike lane or in the crosswalk." The truck turned right into the cyclists' path, striking both of them. I haven't seen anything on Slog about it; my apologies if I overlooked a post.

Could all of the horrible retail numbers and lowered guidance, bankruptcies, etc. already be priced in? It sure seems that way
Don't understand it myself. I would think puts or shorthing this would be the way to go.From what I am hearing, 2009, is going to be a lot worse than 2008.WMT & TGT missed top-line for Q4 and Macy's just announced closing of 10-11 stores but this keeps going up albeit slightly.Perhaps the jobs report will knock it down on Friday

Student enrollment at Blinn College this semester marked yet another milestone with a record spring enrollment of 16,407 students.
The college has seen growth every spring since 2007. Overall, enrollment at Blinn's four campuses in Brenham, Bryan, Schulenburg and Sealy increased 3.86 percent.
"Strong enrollment for the past four years reflects our ability to provide students a top quality education at an affordable cost," said Dr. Daniel J. Holt, Blinn President/CEO. "In these times of economic uncertainty, our students are keenly aware that Blinn helps them maximize their educational yield while minimizing the expense of their education. With a 128-year track record of success, we take a great deal of pride in planning for and managing the College's steady growth."
Blinn's home campus in Brenham enrolled 2,249 students and grew by 3.64 percent.
The College's largest campus, in Bryan, enrolled 11,327 students, an increase of 4.27 percent.
Enrollment officials cite Blinn's competitive tuition and fees — about one-third the cost of most four-year universities — and its diversity of online courses, dual credit and distance education courses as contributing to the College's steady growth. Blinn's High Schools program marked the largest percentage increase in enrollment, at 8.79 percent.
The College set another record for spring contact hours — the number of hours students receive toward their education — which edged up 1.78 percent to 3,083,392. State funding is based on contact hours rather than enrollment numbers.

The following program determines prime variables. Values that return a remainder (p%d) for all values of d greater than 1 and less than p set the value of isPrime equal to "1".
- (int)someMethod
@autoreleasepool {
int isPrime;
for (int p = 2; p <= 50; ++p) {
isPrime = 1;
for (int d = 2; d < p; ++d) {
if ( p % d == 0)
isPrime = 0;
if ( isPrime != 0)
NSLog (@"%i ", p);
return 0;
My question is, why is that the first "for" statement proceeds immediately after incrementing by "1" whereas in the 2nd "for" statement, the loop proceeds until the value of d is no longer less than p before moving on to the final "if" statement and NSLog.
If this question is not clear, for example, if the value of p is 14, the program proceeds as follows:
- p will increment by 1 to become 15
- the variable isPrime will be set to 1
- the value of d will be set to 2
- p%d will be calculated,
- the result will not be equal to 0, therefore the for statement will be skipped over
- THEN the value of d will, for some reason that I do not understand, increment to 3 and the loop will continue until d is equal to 15, INSTEAD of simply moving on to to the if statement and the NSLog, which would display "15". Why is it that the second "for" loop continues to loop within the "if" statement, incrementing d, whereas the first loop increments p once and then moves on?

First off, Can I just ask, what is it that relates the related post? Is it categories or something? I am wanting to put related posts on my home page which is a static page and nothing happens.
Having said that, I am using a child theme of notes-blog-core and whether I put the template files in the child or the parent theme folder I do not get an option for using the template files. I see the option but it's unclickable.
What I want to do is call the post thumbnails onto my home page.

Weather improves for area fishermen
Published: Thursday, January 24, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 at 2:16 p.m.
LEEVILLE Weather conditions have left south Louisiana fishermen going from one extreme to the other.
Last weekend, a cold front passed through the area sending high temperatures into the 30s. With gusty winds, the wind chill factor dipped into the 20s.
That will not be the case this weekend, as high temperatures are expected to climb into the 70s by Sunday. There is only a chance of rain on Saturday.
Jarrod Robichaux of TYDs in Leeville said the warmer weather forecast for this weekend could be good news for area fishermen.
With the warmer weather expected for this weekend, the fishing should be better this weekend, he said. It all depends on how fast the water warms up.
Last weekend, Robichaux said the cold weather sent the fish to the dead end canals and deeper holes.
Good fishing.
Robichaux said he expects the weather conditions to work in the fishermens favor this weekend.
Speckled trout and redfish will be the most plentiful catches, and the fish should work their way into the shallow waters. But, Robichaux said, the dead-end canals and deeper holes should once again be a good spot for fishermen.
Best spots: Dead-end canals, deep holes, area marsh and canals along La. 1 from Leeville to Grand Isle.
Best baits: Salt Water Assassin Sliver Phantom, Salt Water Assassin Glass Minnow, DOA, shrimp and minnows.
Good fishing.
Speckled tour and redfish continue to be the most popular catches in the area.
Best spots: Catfish Lake, duck ponds and sulfur mines in the Bayou Blue area.
Best baits: Shrimp and minnows.
Average fishing.
Bill Lake of the Bayou Service Guide reported that the cold weather slowed down fishing in recent days. Lake reported seeing numerous dead fish on the water, including mulletts, speckled trout and redfish.
Warmer weather could mean better speckled trout and redfish action soon in the region.
Best spots: Dularge area, Sister Lake and Lake Mechant.
Best baits: Sand perch, Berkley swim baits and LSU Chubs.
Average fishing.
If anglers can find falling or moving water, they can catch bass.
For more information on Bayou Black Marina and the area, visit www.bayoublackmarina.com or e-mail Breaux at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Best spots: Turtle Bayou, Crawford Canal, School Board Canal and below the Brady Canal.
Best baits: Crickets, nightcrawlers, corn, crank baits, top water baits early in the morning and plastic worms when the suns come up.

Released: Mar 01st, 2004
Running Time:
Director: Dirk Yates
Company: All Worlds DVD
Cast: Collin Jennings, Ty Fox, Dane Tarsen, Drew Andrews, Cutter West, Bob MacHeath, Ethan-Micahel Ayers, J.T. Sloan, Chris Thunder
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
This 1996 hit started the successful series that is thriving today. J.T. Sloan and Ethan-Michael Ayers play probationary firemen who get some lessons from their horny co-workers, including the famous Ty Fox. The transfer is decent but has some grain and noise, as well as aliasing, moire and colors that are too red and yellow.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Gary Williams may have his best Maryland team, and this season could be the Terrapins' best shot at a Final Four since, well, since forever.
Maryland is coming off of a 25-win season, has all five starters back, and appears to possess all the components of a title team. But the appearance of a championship team is nothing new at Maryland.
Since Gary Williams arrived at Maryland in 1989, the basketball program has flourished. Never has the program been stronger for a longer period of time.
By any measure, Maryland has been very successful under Williams. The Terps have earned a school-record seven straight trips to the NCAA Tournament, only five schools in the nation boast a longer streak. In his 11 seasons at Maryland, Williams has won an average of 19.7 games a season (217-128), and his Terps have 53 victories over the past two years -- seventh-best in the nation.
Simply put, the Maryland basketball program is a consistent winner.
But, still, there are skeptics that suggest that Maryland is not a consistent title contender. Maryland has not won an ACC title since 1984, and has not reached a regional final. The Terps suffered unsettling losses in the last two Tournaments -- first to St. John's in 1999, then last year's 35-point debacle to UCLA. Then, there is the persistent criticism of Maryland's recruiting.
"There's more criticism of everything here," Gary Williams said of the Washington D.C. area in the Internet age. "Everyone has an opinion, especially in this town, about the government, the Redskins, and about us."
Although somewhat used to it, Williams does seem to tire of the negative talk.
"We've had a number one (Joe Smith) and number two (Steve Francis) overall pick in the draft in the last five years, yet people say we don't recruit well. Something doesn't add up there," Williams said. "Either we develop players really well, or we recruit very well."
Williams knows some criticism comes with the territory on the elite level he's brought the Terp to in his tenure. He also knows that kind of talk will not ultimately affect the outcome of games. He is simply concentrated on preparing his team for the challenge of being an early favorite to reach the Final Four.
"This time of year is critical," Williams said of his early-season practices. "Just because we have everybody back doesn't mean we'll be a good team. It doesn't just happen."
While there have been critics, there is great optimism in College Park for this Terp team.
"The Final Four is realistic for this team," said bruising junior center Lonny Baxter. "We believe we can."
Maryland has been very good before, but this team seems to have a different feel. Williams wants his team to have lofty goals, and not measure themselves by just their number of wins.
"Our goals are high, but its not just to win, but to improve as we're winning," Williams said. "If we continue to get better, we can be really good."
"Last year's team had no killer instinct, we didn't put teams away," said Juan Dixon, who led the Terps in scoring last year at 18 points per game. "We have to play 40 minutes, not talk any stuff, and go out and close teams out."
Williams knows he has a trio of players he can rely upon this season to do the type of things needed for a team to reach the goals set by the Terrapins. He can count on Dixon to lead the Terps on both ends of the court, and the duo of Terence Morris and Baxter to dominate down low.
Dixon, a 6-foot-3 junior, was the ACC's second-leading scorer and led the league in steals last year. Morris' all-around skills make the 6-9 junior one of the nation's most talented players. And the emergence of Baxter last season gave Williams a 1-2 punch few teams could match.
Baxter simply had a breakout season last year, throwing around his 6-8, 250-pound frame inside to match Morris' production, albeit in a different way. Baxter averaged 15.6 points and 8.8 rebounds, shooting 53 percent from the field -- second in the ACC. He did not attempt a 3-point shot all season, displaying the discipline of a big man who knew his role.
Still, with all of the weapons at Williams' disposal, Morris remains his most gifted and maligned performer.
Enormously talented, Morris has been a lightning rod for comment. Even though his numbers were consistent last season -- Morris averaged 15.8 points and 8.6 rebounds as a junior -- he has not shown the temperament to dominate.
"Terence is just more laid back, more patient," Dixon said of Maryland's 6-9 star. "He needs to show everyone that he
can take over. If he does, he's the best in the country. I see it every day in practice, he can do everything."
Morris agrees with his teammate, but his talent level still leaves his critics wanting more, and people wonder whether he wants to
be great as much as others want it for him.
"That doesn't bother me at all, I hear it all the time," Morris said of the criticism. "I know I have to
take over -- it's just something I have to do."
But Morris wants more than just individual props from hoops observers.
"Our only goal is to win the national championship, to be in the national championship game," Morris said. "We have all of the weapons to do that."
While Baxter says that Maryland's goal of the national championship is the end, the Terps will focus on what is right in front of them.
"We want to win everything possible," Baxter said. "We want to win every game, every tournament, everything."
While Morris is the most talented, Dixon has arguably been the toughest player, and he is unafraid to be a go-to player.
"We have a lot of 'go-to' guys, a lot of guys who can score," Dixon said. "Don't get me wrong, but I would love to be that guy when coach needs it. I wouldn't mind taking the big shot at all."
Williams expects leadership from Dixon, Baxter and Morris. But he also believes point guard Steve Blake is critical.
"Blake needs to do a good job for us," Williams said of Blake, who averaged 6.3 assists as a freshman last season. "He did a great job as a freshman, and has improved his shot, but must be more consistent. If he's more consistent, we can do some things."
In addition to Blake, Williams can look to Tulane transfer Byron Mouton, whose 6-3, 200-pound frame will add a new dimension
to Maryland.
"Byron can get to the basket," Williams said. "He can get fouled, and provides us with a big guard, rather than our compliment of
skinny guys."
The Terps talk openly of reaching the Final Four for the first time in Maryland basketball history. The Terps feel that, despite their success, they have a lot to prove.
"The Final Four would be great," Dixon said, shaking his head and smiling at the thought of it. "We talk about it a lot. We would
like to get the monkey off of coach Williams' back. And if we listen to coach, we have all the ingredients to do it."

Ford says the new Transit is the most important new model it will build in the next two years. That includes the forthcoming Mondeo and facelifted Fiesta, and shows just how serious the manufacturer is about its big-selling van.
The Transit will be sold virtually unchanged across the globe, with three variations of the tried-and-tested 2.2-litre TDCi diesel used in the outgoing model. That means 99bhp, 153bhp and the 123bhp version we drive here.
Thanks to eco tweaks such as stop-start, our short-wheelbase Transit Custom is around eight per cent more efficient than the van it replaces. So it returns class-leading 42.8mpg economy and emits 178g/km of CO2.
The impressive numbers continue into the load bay, too, with Ford claiming a maximum capacity of 5,520 litres. That's 330 litres more than in the old SWB Transit. Plus, a clever hatch beneath the passenger seat means extra length to carry long, narrow objects.
Behind the wheel, you could almost think you're in a Focus. The dash is near-identical, with a logical layout and solid-feeling buttons. However, this is still a van, and some of the plastics used don't meet the usual high standards of Ford's passenger models. There's a commanding view out, but large A-pillars can make junctions a little tricky.
The TDCi is refined, and motorway driving is a breeze thanks to a generous 350Nm of torque. (There were no 99bhp models available during our test, but we suspect it'd feel slow.)
Despite its boxy shape, the Transit is remarkably quiet on the move. It can catch crosswinds, but the direct and well weighted steering means it feels safe. It's not all good news, though: the high-mounted pedals quickly became an annoyance – especially considering there's nowhere to rest your left foot.
The all-new Transit is more car-like to drive than ever, but with all practical aspects of a van improved in every way. Our top-spec Limited costs £21,245, which makes it slightly more expensive than nearly all its rivals.
But you'll be willing to pay a premium if you're looking for the best – and, judging from our drive, the Transit is certainly that.

Over the past few years, Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl, archbishop of Washington, D.C., has been at the forefront of attempts by Catholic bishops to define the scope of Catholic theology in the United States. To his credit, he is keen to engage with younger theologians in Catholic colleges and universities. His most recent effort to explain the relationship between bishops and theologians ("The Noble Enterprise," [1] America, February 4) situates the theological task within the "New Evangelization." In short, we are to "think and feel with the church (sentire cum Ecclesia)."
I could not agree more. But where the rubber meets the road—namely, in addressing the question What is the ecclesial task of the theologian?—Wuerl's argument leaves at least this young theologian uninspired. His essay acknowledges that theology is not "simply catechesis," yet its argument allows for very little by way of newness in theological research. "Authentic theology does not presume to generate new teachings," Wuerl writes; rather, theologians must go "beyond" catechesis "in depth, in intensity, and in precision." While this deepening describes one aspect of thinking with the church—and the work of many theologians—there also exists a strain of theological thinking that seeks to broaden the field of inquiry. And here Wuerl expresses concern. He exhorts...
