I have just found an unknown process in Task Manager. I have scanned my system with Windows Defender on Windows 8.1 and it could not detect any issues.
But there is something there that shouldn't be there.
I cannot get rid of this process. I can not view its Properties or its file location like I can with any other process because those options are greyed-out/disabled.
How can I find more information about this on my system and how can I get rid of it when Task Manager won't let me perform any operations on it?

With only a single England Under-21 cap to his name, Adam Lallana could have been forgiven for being slightly apprehensive before joining up with the senior squad for the first time this week. However, to judge from his contribution on the training pitch, the transition has been seamless.
Any lingering nerves should have been erased yesterday by a tribute from Rickie Lambert, who described his Southampton team-mate in glowing terms. Lambert has been training alongside Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard and Jack Wilshere regularly since winning his first England cap last August, so clearly holds Lallana in the highest regard. Lallana,

Just amazing! I've made these a few times now, to put on ice cream. I fry them in butter and it works out fantastic. Sometimes I put in some chopped nuts if I have them lying around, and this makes this dish just out of this world.
This was so good & so easy to make! I loved the crunchy coating. I used Splenda in place of the regular sugar which lowered the calorie count. Served it over vanilla ice cream making it a wonderfully simple dessert. Loved it & will make it again.
It was alright taste bitter
This was REALLY REALLY easy!! I added some cinnamon and walnuts when it was about halfway done then poured it on vanilla icecream. Also, I used some pretty ripe bananas (I was worried about this) and it was fine. One large banana cut into coins was enough for two people to enjoy without going overboard.
delicious. I made some with sugar, some with honey, and some with no extra sweetener. They all tasted the same. I say skip the extra sweetener and go natural.
these were really really good. I did what some of the other reviewers did and added cinnamon to the sugar and used butter instead of cooking spray. I will make these again!
These were really tasty. They had a nice candy-like crust and were soft and gooey inside. I served them with fresh strawberries on a Dutch Baby. I think next time I'll add some cinnamon to the sugar for a little extra flavor.
Made these tonight and served with ice cream. All I have to say is DELICIOUS !!!! Will definately try again. Made for PRMR tag.
We really liked this - ate on Pecan ice cream. I may have cut the bananas too thin because they got really sticky - stuck to our teeth, but oh so good. I will definitely make again. Want to try them on pancakes or waffles. Thanks for a great recipe.
I thought these were delicious but very sweet. I overcrowded the pan and had trouble flipping them in time. Next time I will make two batches. I had them for breakfast on some chocolate bread. Yum!

Re: Closing Aged Accounts.. Yes It Is Ok
Last week I disputed ownership of a revolving Citibank CC with Equifax and my ScoreWatch went up 7 points. This card apparently was opened on 11/2000 and closed on 12/2000 with 1 month reviewed. In a previous post, it was stated the length would be counted as a 7 years. However, a 7 point upward jump leads me to believe this statement is not the whole story. ScoreWatch directly attributed the change to this dispute. No other credit info changed. Thoughts?

Night out
found all ok, only had breakfast and that was beautiful staff very friendly all in all A+++++
enjoyable stay
had an enjoyable stay at the General Tarleton on an overnight, it was easy to find and close to the motorway when commuting and the decor on entering is lovely - the room was cosy and the bed was comfortable although for the price of the room it could be doing with a more robust clean (room itself is clean but some touches of paint required on bathroom ceiling and a steam clean of the shower fixtures and seals would give a more professional feel) bed is comfy and the molton brown toiletries are a lovely touch - the feel of the hotel is of a family run guest house and with that the level of customer service and the staff's knowledge of the local area is top drawer and having stayed for dinner this place could market itself on its food alone as the meals were delicious.
the one fault i would say is that there is absolutely nothing within walking distance of this hotel so if you wanted to go a walk bring a torch and dont expect to find a bar after 10pm as the hotel bar closes at this time. other than that this is a wonderful stay just a tiny bit overpriced.

Excellent Food and Accommodation
Very nice establishment with very attentive staff.
Room clean and fresh and food wonderful. Only one gripe and not the fault of the owners - there is no phone reception for 02 - an advantage for many but not for business people.

We had an excellent stay at the General Tarleton.
Extremely friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. The room was exactly as shown and described in their brochure - the biscuits were delicious!!. We had an evening meal and again enjoyed it thoroughly, can highly recommend staying here.

we have just returned from a weekend at the general Tarleton and have to say it was nothing short of excellent, service and staff are exceptional and the food is of extremely high standard and I cannot recommend highly enough for foodies like ourselves, can only be described as a gastronomic delight.
Excellent accommodation and food

Booked for a special occassion, you are made very welcome from the minute you walk in, until you leave.
The accommodation, lounge and restaurant are set out beautifully and cosy. Would definitely go back.

If you're receiving financial aid grants or loans, you must attend your classes. Don't drop or stop attending any class without consulting the Financial Aid Team. Changes in your enrollment level and failing grades may require you to repay federal financial aid funds.
Federal regulations require you to repay a portion of financial aid funds if you withdraw from all classes before satisfying the 60 percent completion rule for the enrollment term.
PSU Undergraduate fall and spring semesters 60 percent dates for 2015-2016 are:
•Fall 2015: after November 1, 2015
•Spring 2016: after April 3, 2016
It is important to recognize that there are potentially two forms of financial aid that may be refunded if a student withdraws: federal and institutional funds. If the university requires the student to withdraw, there will be no refund. For more information on PSU's Refund Policy, please contact Student Account Services.
[expandable title="When a student fails to begin attendance"]
[expandable title="When a student fails to begin attendance"]
[expandable title="When a student fails to begin attendance"]
If a student receives financial aid, but never attends classes, the Student Financial Aid Office must return all disbursed funds to the respective federal and institutional aid programs.
[expandable title="Repayment calculation of unearned aid as a result of a withdrawal"]
[expandable title="Repayment calculation of unearned aid as a result of a withdrawal"]
[expandable title="Repayment calculation of unearned aid as a result of a withdrawal"]
As a result of a withdrawal, students who received federal funds will be required to repay "unearned" aid. The repayment calculation is performed utilizing the federal government's repayment calculation: "Treatment of Title IV Funds When a Student Withdraws from a Credit-Hour Program" Specific details can be found on the order of return of title IV funds in Step 6 (by School) and Step 10 (by the student) on this Worksheet. The amount of the assistance earned is determined on a pro-rated basis. For example, if a student completed 30% of the term, they have earned 30% of the assistance they were originally scheduled to receive. Once a student has completed more than 60% of the term, the student earns all the assistance they were scheduled to receive for the term.[/expandable]
[expandable title="Student notification of repayment"]
A notification letter from PSU's Student Account Services office will be provided outlining the amount(s) returned to the appropriate federal and institutional program(s) on the student's behalf and will subsequently bill the student's account. A statement reflecting these charges will be provided to the student. The student is responsible for all charges and overpayments resulting from a Return of Title IV calculation.[/expandable]
[expandable title="Overpayment of federal grant funds"]
Federal regulations provide that 50% of the unearned amount of all federal grants is protected by the federal calculation (see steps 9 and 10 of the federal government's repayment worksheet). Any grant amount subject to repayment will be billed to the student's account by Student Account Services as an overpayment.[/expandable]
[expandable title="Additional loan information to consider when withdrawing"]
The federal repayment calculation also has additional loan amounts that the student and parent may be responsible to return directly to the U.S. Department of Education (see step 8 of the federal government's repayment worksheet).
Important: Anytime a student is enrolled less than part-time the grace period begins. The student's grace period for loan repayments for Federal Direct Unsubsidized and Subsidized Loans will begin on the day of the withdrawal from the school. If the student is not enrolled part-time for more than 6 months, the loans will go into repayment. The student must contact the U.S. Department of Education (ED) or his/ her lender(s) to make payment arrangements. Loans must be repaid by the loan borrower (student/parent) as outlined in the terms of the borrower's promissory note. The student should contact the lender if he/she has questions regarding their grace period or repayment status.[/expandable]
[expandable title="School and student responsibility for return of unearned federal funds"]
The student and the school are both responsible for returning unearned federal financial aid to the federal government. The student will be billed for any amount due as a result of the return of federal aid funds (R2T4) calculation.[/expandable]
[expandable title="Repayment of unearned funds"]
PSU's Student Account Services office (SAS) will notify students of any funds needing to be repaid. The student/parent will be permitted to repay loans based on the terms of the Master Promissory Note (MPN) which usually consists of scheduled payments to the holder of the loan over a period of time. Students will also receive notice from SAS regarding repayment of institutional funds. If the student owes any money to PSU resulting from the return of federal or institutional funds, the student will be billed by PSU's Student Account Services office.[/expandable]
[expandable title="School and Student responsibilities in regard to the R2T4 policy & process"]
Plymouth State University's responsibilities in regard to the Return of Title IV funds
- Providing each student with the information given in this policy;
- Identifying students affected by this policy and completing the Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4) calculation;
- Informing the student of the result of the R2T4 calculation and any balance owed to PSU as a result of a required return of funds;
- Returning any unearned Title IV aid that is due to the Title IV programs and, if applicable, notifying the borrower's holder of federal loan funds of the student's withdrawal date;
- Notifying student and/or Plus borrower of eligibility for a Post-Withdraw Disbursement, if applicable.
Student's responsibilities in regard to the Return of Title IV funds
- Becoming familiar with the Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4) policy and how withdrawing from all courses effects eligibility for Title IV aid; and
- Resolving any outstanding balance owed to the PSU resulting from a required return of unearned Title IV aid.
[expandable title="How institutional aid is affected by a withdrawal"]
All institutional aid provided by Plymouth State University is based on need and/or academic achievement. Any change in enrollment status may cause the amount of the award to be recalculated. Credit balances will not be released to a student until institutional aid has been repaid.[/expandable]
[expandable title="How a withdrawal affects future financial aid eligibility"]
Refer to Plymouth State University (PSU) Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy to determine how a withdrawal will impact future financial aid eligibility.[/expandable]

"Charming Prato" Top 5 Page for this destination Prato by travelnurse21
Prato Travel Guide: 31 reviews and 58 photos
I know I've said this over and over again, but Prato was also another ghost town in August. It was so beautiful yet so empty! If you find that the city is empty when you go, still take the time to appreciate the energy of this city. It's very small, quaint, and charming! The people are lovely!
Even though the streets were empty, the character of this little city still made me feel very much like I was in old world Italy. Despite the abundance of stores and restaurants, the buildings and the streets remain untouched.
So, definitely don't miss Prato on your next trip to Italy. I loved it because it seemed to me to be untouched by all the tourist traps! It was very authentic Italy!
- Pros:Old world Italy feel.
- Cons:???
- In a nutshell:Very very charming

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We requested an extra bed, so they moved an extra bed in the room for us... more travel advice

My Application is developed in PHP Yii Framework. My Application has a private network module where members of the network can upload files for sharing among them. Right now I'm using Amazon S3 to save the files. Is there any way I can provide an option to generate Preview for these files so that the user can view them online before downloading the file.
Here is what I've come across in my Research:
Group Docs:
http://groupdocs.com/pricing/api-pricing. This is paid version and I'm not sure about the privacy of my documents.
Zoho Docs
I'm not sure if they have an API to support the document viewing feature.
Google Drive(Formerly Google Docs)
I'm not sure if I can only open the documents using Google Drive and not save to them on google drive.
These files are extremely private and security is of very high concern in my application.
If any one has any suggestions / thoughts for this scenario, please share them with me.

27 reviews | 2.7 out of 5
We had a power outage and I spent an hour time to reset thee clock following the instructions. Every time I set the clock to the correct time it would switch to another time...very frustrating.
I think the engineer could have spent more time on writing the instructions.
I was looking for a CD player to play my favorite Christmas CD last year and it exceeding my expectations. Landed a full time job and took it to my office. I enjoy radio everyday. Love the remote control. Very convenient to turn it up or down. No problems except sketchy reception at rare times, but I attribute that to weather and all the electronics in my office. You really can't beat it for the price. Looks contemporary and modern.
The above reviewer makes good points: The door is very loud, and the buttons are small and hard to read. My problem is that the disc player skips constantly. I set the unit up, put in a CD, and 40 seconds into the first song the unit just cut out. I had to turn it off completely to get it to reset. It skipped a total of 6 times during that first disc. Thinking that the problem might be the disc itself, I switched to another. That one skipped about 14 times. I cannot recommend a product that doesn't work as intended.
We purchased this to replace a very old bookshelf system. First, the CD door is very loud when opening and closing. The buttons on both the remote, and the front of the unit are small and hard to read. The radio is not very good, and you must continually move the antenna around to get a good signal. Sound is boring, and the EQ presets are still not what we would prefer (there is no custom selection). However, the biggest complaint of all is that the display is VERY bright, and, if you have this in a bedroom, as we do, it is like leaving a room lamp on. There is no adjustments for this. Another point is that it is very hard to use, as the controls are VERY hard to understand! Not sure what ever happened to making things so that they just work, and, are easy to understand how to use. We will be returning ours, and looking for a different product.
I was so excited to get this system for X-Mas, I set it up right away. The directions were easy to follow, the sound was good on the radio, but the CD player skipped all over the place. I tried a brand new CD and it was the same I was very disappointed to have to return this system because it was perfect in size for where I wanted it to be placed
The CD Door is a little loud when opening and closing the door but of course there is nothing playing on the stereo so that could be why you can hear it but it has really good sounding speakers its a small stereo. So it fits in nice in small apartments or a small room I specially like the full functioning remote and its small its about the size of a credit card I wear reading glasses and I can see the buttons fine on it. The product guide doesn't give no information on how to hang it on the wall but it does show what the buttons are on the remote and what's on the stereo it's only 11pages long but it has only 2 pages that are worth reading that covers what each button does on the stereo and the remote the guide is why I couldn't give it a five star rating but will update if there are any problems with it.
Granted, this is not a BOSE system, but it works just fine. Bought it for the wife in her kitchen. I'm going to purchase a second one for my garage.
this radio system absolutely stinks per my experience. i set it up and the next day it would turn on then off by itself. attempted to fix it but nothing would give. returned it and ill wait for a better buy.
Bought this as a gift. Very nice unit at a great price.
It worked for two hours, went off and never came back on again. Taking it back to store.
Bought this for myself this past Christmas 2012. Worked fine and sounded pretty good for about five weeks, then it just up and died. Totally stopped working, and wouldn't turn on at all. Threw it away.
operating buttons are small, hard to read
sound not to loud, about a medium range
it is wall mountable, if you can figure out how the base comes off
and this is the first day trying to use it
Bought it to use with my PC. After a few weeks the sound level began to drop. Then the left speaker began to go out/kick in at random and the LED lighting began to fade.
Hard to play what you want or set your favorite radio stations when you have a BLANK LCD display strait out of the box-will be returning for a refund!!
CD player would not operate at all. Returned it immediately.
I bought this for use in my garage for listening to the radio CDs. I wanted something that wasn't too bulky but with acceptable sound. I was surprisingly pleased with the sound quality playing both the radio and CD. I like that the unit as well as the speakers can be hung. Both the speakers and main unit are not too deep which was important to me. (I didn't want a typical boombox style unit.) There is also a remote control which is a nice option to have. I had bought a Memorex radio/cd player for the same price at another retailer and was really disappointed with the sound - the speakers were contained in the unit which is very slim but greatly sacrifices the sound quality - plus the CD player was skipping a lot. For the price and the sound this purchase exceeded my expectations. Walmart has impressed me again.
For the money, this is a great buy. Bought it to listen to the local sports radio station, and for CD's, and my IPod. I live in a high rise so a big radio is not the best idea. This little radio sounds great, gets great reception, and plays CD's as well as bigger stereo systems I have owned. I use it 2 hours a day during the week, and probably 8 hours a day on the weekends. The remote control is nice. The buttons are a bit small, but for the money it's really not worth complaining about. I would not hesitate to buy another one or recommend it to someone.
I bought this for my son's bedroom. It worked great for about 3 weeks then died. Would not turn on. Sometimes it would work again if I unpluged it for a while. After doing this for a few days, it stopped working completely. I returned it and exchanged it for another one. The second one lasted a lot longer, about 4 months. And then the same thing happened. I will never buy another product made buy this company(Onn). I new it was cheap when I bought it but I only expected it to work.
Looks nice, But after 1 month started to turn off and on randomly, Aux plug stopped working, door was loud when opening and closing. System would turn off in the middle of listening to a CD. I guess you get what you pay for. Very cheap and poorly made. Would not recommend this product to anyone.
I bought this radio with the money I had and when I bought it the door is just very loud when it is opened the radio will die at times and in the middle of listening to CD it will just pause for more than 10 seconds and then resume. I would recommend to buy a different radio

These people, moments made pop culture pop in 2013
Miley Cyrus didn't get a Grammy nomination. "Duck Dynasty" was snubbed by the Emmys. And "Anchorman 2" won't be staying classy at the Oscars.
But in our eyes, they're award-worthy. Because love 'em or hate 'em, millions talked (or tweeted) about them. And along with North West and 'N Sync, "Breaking Bad" and Paula Deen breaking down, they made pop culture pop in 2013. »Read Full Article(1)
Reading the John Updike stories: 'Incest'
I'm reading and commenting on a story from The Library of America's recently published 'John Updike: The Collected Stories' each Wednesday until I finish the collection or give up.
The provocatively titled "Incest" returns us to a familiar situation in the early John Updike stories: A tired young husband home from work, a tired, bored young wife who's not getting any juice from him. »Read Full Blog Post
On Tap Today: birds, pinball, art and technology
You have to love that there are people in Wisconsin who get up early to look at birds in December. You could be one of them today, if you care to.
Afterward, we recommend warming up indoors and the contemplation of doings that require fewer layers. For instance, why not read arts and books editor Jim Higgins weekly take on John Updike's short stories.

The Rev. Shayne Raulston said he wants to continue Faith City Mission's vision of helping and ministering to the "homeless and helpless."
Raulston, 37, recently took over as executive director of Faith City Mission. Billy Hobbs, 55, former executive director, resigned in January. Hobbs had been at Faith City Mission since 1998.
Hobbs said he and his wife are "holding our options open right now" and praying about their future, and are considering staying here or going to San Antonio, where Hobbs previously was associate pastor and minister of evangelism and outreach at Alamo City Baptist Church.
Hobbs was optimistic about Faith City Mission's future.
"It was left in great hands in Shayne," Hobbs said.
Raulston praised Hobbs, explaining he "had a great vision for this mission, and I would like to carry that on and add on to that. I don't see going in a different direction than where he was going. I have a lot of respect for Billy and worked closely with him for a year and built a good relationship with him."
Raulston was previously assistant director at Faith City Mission, joining the staff in March 2001.
"And before that I had been coming as a volunteer for a year and half, helping out with men's discipleship program while I was pastoring a church in Amarillo," said Raulston, who was born in Borger and reared in Pampa.
Raulston, an ordained Assemblies of God minister, was pastor of Harvest Life Center for two years. He attended Southwestern Assemblies of God Bible College and spent 15 years in youth ministry, serving in associate positions in ministries and churches in Idaho, Chicago and Detroit. He was a youth and music minister at Christian Life Assembly of God in Lubbock before coming to Amarillo.
"The transition was kind of difficult, just making the transition from being a person who did a lot of the hands-on work to becoming the director of others doing the work of the ministry," said Raulston, referring to his new job as executive director.
Raulston commended the staff, saying it was working well as a team. His goals for the mission include redeveloping the men's and women's programs, adding more space for men and renovating the warehouse. The mission has added some new staffers.
He said he would like to expand the mission's ability to feed, clothe and house more people, and develop some type of shelter or program for teen-agers, because he said homelessness among that age group is rising.
"Right now we're not able to house any minors, unless they're with their parents," he said.
Raulston is married to Mindy and has three children:> Christopher, 9, Zachary, 6, and Nicole, 3.

After years of personal financial sacrifice, Olympians can't reap endorsement riches by merely winning a gold medal. With dozens of potential gold medalists representing the United States, athletes must break through to become household names. There is only a select group of companies willing to invest in an Olympic athlete when the Games are through. Plus, the battle to keep that athlete's flame alive will be harder in a world dominated by a September of NFL and college football games.
With that in mind, here are the top Olympic athletes who have the greatest opportunity to ink lucrative deals should they stand atop the medal podium in Athens. Noticeably absent are the stars of track and field, which has the BALCO scandal hanging over the heads of names like Marion Jones. Also absent are volleyball players Misty May and Kerri Walsh, who were featured in a Super Bowl commercial playing beach volleyball in the snow. They have generated some marketing buzz, but due to May's aggravation of an abdominal injury, it's not clear if she can play. The no-show would turn May and Walsh into this Olympics' version of bobsledders Jean Racine and Jen Davidson, who were marketed to the hilt for Salt Lake City until Racine dropped Davidson weeks before the Games began.
Michael Phelps, 19, swimmer
Phelps is clearly in a category by himself. He's graced the covers of ESPN The Magazine, Sports Illustrated and Time. He already has national commercials with Visa, Argent and AT&T Wireless, and NBC is sure to make him their prime poster boy. In one of the greatest pre-Olympic hype campaigns ever, Speedo has offered $1 million to Phelps if he can win seven gold medals -- tying Mark Spitz's performance from 1972. Phelps hasn't backed down from the pressure. While he has said he'll be happy with one medal, those thinking about investing in a post-Olympics Phelps won't be. He likely will have to win at least four medals to be relevant in the post-Athens marketplace. When athletes previously stated plans to win a large number of gold medals -- see Marion Jones, who had a goal to win five golds and only won three in the 2000 Games -- they have been seen as a disappointment if they fell short.
Jennie Finch, 23, softball player
Finch came to the forefront when she beat out Anna Kournikova for Page 2's America's Hottest Female of 2003. She has since done plenty in the business world, inking deals with Sealy, Sprint and Bolle and has a signature line of Mizuno products. Despite offers, she has stayed out of magazines like Playboy, Maxim and FHM and has instead appeared in magazines such as Glamour and Modern Bride (Finch is soon to wed Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Casey Daigle). Finch can make herself more relevant if she pitches a gem in the gold medal game, but her endorsement potential could be kept in check because there isn't a highly visible women's professional softball league to keep her name in the news. Doing more sports broadcasting -- she's done analyst work with ESPN and has a segment on "This Week in Baseball" -- could also aid in making people talk about Finch more on a year-round basis. Autographed cards of Finch have sold for more than $50 in recent weeks on eBay.
Rulon Gardner, 32, Greco-Roman wrestler
After shocking Alexandr Karelin, the Russian who had not lost a match in 13 years, to win the gold in Sydney, Gardner has had a tough road back. Two and a half years ago, he got lost in a Wyoming forest in the dead of winter and after being saved had to have one of his toes amputated. In March, he was in a motorcycle accident. Gardner, who has endorsement deals with 24-Hour Fitness and Asics, is now the favorite to win again. The 300-pound Olympian figures to make the most money in motivational speaking but would be the perfect candidate for a witty food advertisement if he pulls off another gold. Should Gardner falter, weightlifter Shane Hamman is the big-guy alternate waiting in the wings. Hamman, who has appeared in national television commercials for Allstate and Gateway and is featured on millions of bottles of Powerade, is trying to become the first American weightlifter to win gold in the unlimited division in 48 years.
The other swimmers: Natalie Coughlin, 21, Amanda Beard, 23, Kaitlin Sandeno, 21, Jenny Thompson, 31, Gary Hall Jr., 29, Lenny Krayzelberg, 28, Aaron Peirsol, 21, Ian Crocker, 21, and Brenden Hansen, 22
U.S. swimmers automatically have an endorsement advantage because each year they win more gold medals than in any other sport. That fact also makes it harder for one individual performance to stand out. Coughlin, who will make an attempt to win five gold medals (three in relays), has received a lot of press heading into the Games, having been aggressive on the magazine photo shoot circuit. Beard (four medals), Hall (eight medals) and Thompson (10 medals) are already well-known by the Olympic-watching public thanks to their success in past Olympiads. Sandeno, who has a good chance of winning four medals, already has deals with Nike and Mutual of Omaha, which has also signed Beard, Hansen and Peirsol through the 2008 Olympics.
Peirsol and Crocker could get attention in the 200-meter backstroke and 100-meter butterfly, respectively. Krayzelberg -- who currently has a deal with Monster.com -- returned with three medals from Sydney but didn't really break through the marketing clutter. The ability to garner endorsement deals could not only depend on the color of the medal but also the quality of the moment -- the attention focused on that event by the cameras of NBC and their affiliates. Generally, lucrative opportunities also can surface based on unique circumstances. Gary Hall Jr. has diabetes and has structured deals with Novolog, an insulin injection and Lifescan, a blood glucose monitor. Crocker's bout with depression could lead to a deal with Zoloft, the drug he used to get over his illness.
Carly Patterson, 16, Gymnast
Patterson, who has deals with Visa, AT&T Wireless and McDonald's, has a chance to be one of the up-and-comers of the Olympics. She tied with Courtney Kupets for the all-around title at the Olympic trials in June and she has a golden smile to go along with her impressive skills. If she shines with the U.S. team, she'll have an opportunity to build business relationships leading up to Beijing. More immediately, Patterson is scheduled to be part of the 2004 Tour of Gymnastic Champions, with performances across the country from September through November.

Product Reviews
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sally62 from No cleaning necessary! I have a 2-story foyer that is 8' x 7'. The house was built in the mid-90s and had a brass and glass "bird cage" foyer fixture. It was IMPOSSIBLE to clean that glass (because of the ceiling height) and the brass was very dated. So I searched high and low for a fixture without glass, shades, or anything else that would need to be cleaned - and I found it in this wonderful foyer pendant! The 12 lights provide adequate light in our foyer and it looks beautiful from below and looking at it straight-on from the second floor. My only disappointment was the view from outside through the foyer window. Since there are no reflective services and the finish (Aztec Bronze) is dark, nothing shows to the outside except the 12 light bulbs. But it certainly looks better than that dusty brass monstrosity - a worthy compromise!

I have two blogs on my website, and I've added the correct background to one, but in the other one, I can't upload ANY images. It says it's uploaded the file, but I get a broken link symbol or the red X and my background goes black. I didn't do anything different when I installed WordPress with each of them, so I'm not sure what's happening. I can get images just fine in the other.
Correctly working: http://www.noellepierce.com/blog
No images showing: http://www.noellepierce.com/closingtime
I've already done what this post (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/25-imagemedia-uploader-problems?replies=1) suggests, but still not working. I've also tried to upload the picture in other browsers, but nothing. The funny thing is, the image is the EXACT SAME as on the main blog page, but with a green tint.
I'm very frustrated, so any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. I know basic html, but I'm not as well-versed in CSS so if your solution includes any CSS code, please keep in mind that I'm a novice. Thanks!

MIAMI - Hurricane Fred quickly reached Category 3 strength on Wednesday with 120 mph winds, but soon weakened a bit and remains far out in the Atlantic with no signs it will threaten land.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said the storm's projected five-day path will keep it over the open ocean until it loses steam.
By Wednesday afternoon, Fred's winds had weakened to 115 mph.
The second hurricane of the 2009 Atlantic season, Fred is expected to turn northwest and then north, keeping thousands of miles east of the U.S. East Coast.
"It is quite unusual to have such a powerful system so far east in the (Atlantic) basin," the hurricane center said in a statement. "Fred is only the third major hurricane noted east of 35 (degrees west longitude) in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and the strongest hurricane so far south and east in our data record."
With the peak of the hurricane season two days away, the Atlantic-Caribbean basin has seen five tropical storms and one other hurricane with little damage.
Many of the leading seasonal hurricane forecasters had predicted the six-month Atlantic season, which runs until Nov. 30, would be relatively mild compared to recent years, and would see only two major hurricanes.
In addition to Fred, Bill was a major hurricane, reaching Category 4 in mid-ocean before weakening as it hit Canada's Atlantic provinces last month.
Meanwhile in the Pacific, Tropical Storm Linda is drifting slowly farther out to sea with maximum sustained winds near 65 mph.

This is not a correct thing, but if you submit the message to the AddHeader it is parsed by javamail that understand it is not 7bit content and convert it to your system default (iso-8859-15) and save it. I reopened the 8bitmime issue (again) because we should handle this "unlikely" scenario too. Hope to commmit a patch soon. >>> command: >>> maurer@debbox:~$ mail -s "01632983002" email@example.com >>> Ich bin der Bär! >>> . >>> Cc: >>> maurer@debbox:~$ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

At Dentsu, Stressing Need for a Winning Mindset
Ad Agency CEO Cites Value of New Ways of Thinking While Expanding Its Base
Dentsu Inc., 4324 0.41 % Japan's largest advertising agency, has a commanding 22.4% share of the world's second-largest advertising market, yet it has failed to make a meaningful mark on the international ad scene.
At home, Dentsu's sales are twice those of its closest rival, Hakuhodo Inc., 2433 0.58 % and its roster of heavyweight domestic clients is enough to makes it one of the world's top five ad agencies in terms of revenue. But while Dentsu has more than 4,500 employees in 101 offices in 28 countries, it commands less than 5% of the $452 billion global market.
With domestic economic consumption slowing and Japan's population not only aging but also starting to shrink, that's a big problem. To assure its future, the Tokyo-listed company needs to expand its global customer base.
Therein lies the challenge facing Tatsuyoshi Takashima, 65 years old, who joined Dentsu fresh out of Keio University in 1966 and assumed the role of chief executive officer this July. Dentsu is targeting 12% overseas revenue by 2013, up from less than 10% now, and plans to focus on boosting its digital technology capacity. In line with world-wide trends, Dentsu's revenue from newspapers, magazines, radio and television for the fiscal year that ended in March declined 7.6% from a year earlier, while Internet advertising revenue grew 16.3%.
Overall, Dentsu posted a net loss of 20.45 billion yen ($226 million) for the fiscal year on sales of 1.9 trillion yen. It forecasts net income of 11.4 billion yen and sales of 1.6 trillion yen for the fiscal year ending March 2010. The positive net income forecast, despite lower sales, is possible, the company says, because it doesn't expect a repeat of the extraordinary losses it posted last year.
Dentsu's dominance in Japan originates from its role as a media representative in the early 1900s when it produced Japan's first newspaper advertisements. Today, Dentsu operates as both a media owner as well as a creative agency: it buys ad space and sells it to clients while making a commission on the sale.
Tor Ching Li interviewed Mr. Takashima in his Tokyo office. The interview has been translated from Japanese and edited.
WSJ: What was your first job and the biggest lesson you learned from it?
Mr. Takashima: I was first assigned to the newspaper division and my job was to obtain advertising space from a certain newspaper company. At that time, advertisers' demand for ad space always outstripped supply, but I almost never failed to deliver my clients' requests. I learned how to calculate the right amount to buy in advance from the media company to avoid a shortage of ad space for our clients and became skillful at negotiating with the newspaper company's ad department.
WSJ: Given the ad industry's intense competition and pace, how do you keep ahead of the competition?
Mr. Takashima: The industry has changed a lot since the days of just buying newspaper space; it is definitely more challenging now, with a variety of communication channels. The key is to provide added value to our clients, and to export what we do in Japan for our clients -- a unique integrated suite of services -- globally.
Because of advances in digital technology, players from different business spheres interact, share information, and engage in free and direct communication, transactions and consumption. In such an environment, Dentsu Group must continue to bring our clients and the consumers together and provide them with unique added value.
WSJ: What advice would you give someone entering your field?
Mr. Takashima: One should continuously seek inspiration, take an interest in a variety of things and always be on one's toes to gather accurate information.
WSJ: What principle of management do you wish you knew when you were starting out?
Mr. Takashima: Nothing in particular, because I believe that we learn on the job, and through our successes and sometimes failures are able to move on to the next stage. This is more important than having a management philosophy.
WSJ: What do you wish every new hire knew?
Mr. Takashima: It's important for new hires to understand that business is built on mutual trust, so they should have basic manners and social skills. But business is also competition, so I expect them to have a winning mindset.
WSJ: What is your biggest challenge at a time of great change in the advertising industry?
Mr. Takashima: The greatest challenge is steering the company toward digitization and changing the mindset of our employees. It is absolutely necessary for our employees to learn how to deal with completely new ways of thinking and new ideas, to strengthen their digital literacy, and to work together as a group to take on new challenges.
WSJ: Was there an instance when you felt you let your company or colleagues down?
Mr. Takashima: There was one incident that I still regret to this day. I remained silent during a meeting at which I really should have expressed my opinion. Since then, I have encouraged myself to speak out so that I wouldn't look back with regret. In that sense, my bosses might have thought I was a rather difficult subordinate.
WSJ: Have you ever had a bad boss?
Mr. Takashima: I once had a manager who would reprimand his subordinates in public. When I was told I would have to work for him, I told him I would only do it on the condition that he would not reprimand me in front of others. We were able to have a good working relationship, which surprised the people around us. It has always been my intent not to embarrass people or do unpleasant things to them. I always try to put myself in the other person's shoes.
WSJ: What was the most satisfying decision you made as a manager?
Mr. Takashima: One example would be the appointment last year of Tim Andree [CEO of Dentsu's U.S. subsidiary] as the first non-Japanese executive officer of Dentsu Inc. He currently heads our business activities in the Americas and Europe. With his background and experience, he is already playing a big role in the globalization of Dentsu.
WSJ: What are the most important attributes of a good manager?
Mr. Takashima: To treat everyone equally and fairly, listen to the input of people on the front lines and be ready to face anything in your work.
WSJ: Would you recommend someone starting in your field attend business school?
Mr. Takashima: As our business fields expand, it is becoming increasingly important for us to provide our clients with solutions not only in the marketing communication field but also in fields ranging from business management to strategic development. In this sense, I believe there is always the option for people to attend business schools.

Leading goalscorer Aluko is nursing a slight tear in his Achilles and could be sidelined for up to eight weeks, while wing-back Elmohamady has been recalled from his season-long loan early by parent club Sunderland.
Nick Proschwitz and Jay Simpson were partnered together up front in the midweek FA Cup replay win at Leyton Orient and could keep their spots, while Liam Rosenior is likely to continue in place of Egypt international Elmohamady, who returned to the Stadium of Light earlier in the week.
Midfielder Tom Cairney is hoping to force his way back into the starting line-up after firing the winning goal at Orient in extra time, while defenders Abdoulaye Faye and Jack Hobbs are expected to be recalled to the starting line-up.
The Tigers, still in second place, are looking to bounce back from last week's home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday - their first loss in 10 matches.

Whooping cough startles California
Published: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 at 1:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 at 1:34 p.m.
In the midst of what could be the largest whooping cough outbreak in more than 50 years - and the death of six infants under 3 months old - California health officials are recommending booster shots for nearly everyone in the state, especially health care workers, parents and anyone who may come in contact with babies.
Nearly 1,500 Californians this year have been diagnosed with whooping cough - five times the normal level for this time of year, state health officials say. Doctors are investigating an additional 700 possible cases. Many more people may have had the infection, which often goes undiagnosed or unreported.
"This has the potential to become very huge," says Gilberto Chavez, chief of the California Department of Public Health's Center for Infectious Disease. "But we are at a point where we can contain it."
Chavez says it's especially important to protect babies, who have no natural immunity to whooping cough, also known as pertussis, and who are the most likely to die from it. Although infants can get their first shots at 6 weeks, they aren't fully protected until after their third shot, at 6 months.
The only way to protect babies is to vaccinate everyone around them - parents, grandparents, siblings, caregivers, neighbors and friends, says Stacey Martin of the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. High vaccination rates will create a "herd immunity" for the entire community, even those who are unvaccinated, Martin says.
The state health department is providing whooping cough boosters to new mothers and other close contacts of infants at all birthing hospitals, community health centers and local health departments.

I'm trying your plugin because we implemented a multisite (network) wordpress blog in our company. This blog must work with HTTP and HTTPS, but this causes problems because some links refer to the wrong header, so we get pages with mixed HTTP and HTTPS requests.
When activating your plugin, the sites work perfectly and all content is linked correctly. So that's one good thing...
But I can't access any of the /wp-admin/edit.php pages because of too many redirects, so can't change none of the sites within the network and can't alter the settings of your plugin per site.
Luckily /wp-admin/network/ is still reachable so I can enable/disable the plugin for the complete network...
How can I solve this?
Best regards,

Beloucif, Ahmed; Bouguerra, A. Purpose – After the Arab spring, much attention has been devoted recently to diffuse the boiling situation across the Arab world. A number of policies have been introduced by governments. Amongst of them, it is to encourage youth job creation and entrepreneurship activities. Thus, a number of youth found themselves pushed toward starting up their own business in a very rigid and complex environment. This has not happened without problems. Therefore, this paper attempts to presents a conceptual model of youth business start-ups. It conceptualises youth attitudes towards entrepreneurial activities, the influential factors, barriers and business start-up process. Design/Methodology – Both a systematic review of key literature and a systems approach have been used in this study. From a systems approach, this study examines the entrepreneurship decision process through the interrelationships amongst its environment, its relationship structure and process and, its outcomes Findings – This study shows that youth are influenced by different factors. This study reiterates that a relationship exists between youth motives and drivers towards entrepreneurship. Other factors are the awakening of youth and determination to challenge governments for job creation and employment. Contribution – The study has the following contributions: (1) provides an understanding of youth attitudes and difficulties towards entrepreneurship activities, (2) Developing an exploratory and integrated model of new business start-ups and, (3) A proposed model acting as "A Systemic Framework Guide of Decision Process" for both academic/researchers and policy-makers in the Arab and developing countries. 2013-11-01T00:00:00Z Biting the league table that feeds: reflections on managerialism at work within U.K. university sustainability agendas. http://hdl.handle.net/10059/1283 Biting the league table that feeds: reflections on managerialism at work within U.K. university sustainability agendas. Jones, David R. Most proponents of ecological sustainability within universities seem to have found a space where they feel they can more or less shrug off the need for such meaningful critical reflection. There has been a preoccupation with the instrumental and pragmatic task of embedding sustainability in institutions and systems through developing and establishing benchmarks, indicators and checklists; devising skills taxonomies; refining auditing and monitoring tools; drawing up performance league tables. The aim of this paper is to explore the institutional impact of the latter sustainability performance league tables on current university agendas. It focuses on a narrative critique of one such league table, the UK's 'Green League Table' compiled and reported by the student campaigning NGO, 'People & Planet' annually between 2007 and 2013 through the popular and academic press. This paper offers the proposition that such league tables could be acting as an institutional hegemonic mechanism for social legitimacy through the desire by universities to show that environmental issues are effectively under control. It is proposed that these legitimizing, espoused eco-narratives of the 'carbon targets imperative', 'engagement', can serve as a form of deception to mislead critics of a university's environmental record by merely embracing the narrative as a rhetorical device, rather than as a reflection of or an impetus to proactive, reflexive action. These narratives may also cloak university managers' ambivalence and uncertainty about how to cope with what they perceive as an increasingly important but highly complex issue. In the context of this CMS theme, it is argued that this managerial overarching focus on sustainability league table position, contributes to the broader ethical, social and political tensions and inequities of universities, whilst satisfying the exclusive self-interests of a growing legion of 'carbon managers', 'sustainability managers' and 'environmental managers', in satisfying the neo-liberal institutional drive from their Vice-Chancellors. 2013-05-01T00:00:00Z Post-experience MBAs: The transition back into the workplace for FT students. http://hdl.handle.net/10059/1234 Post-experience MBAs: The transition back into the workplace for FT students. Sutherland, Bill J.; Russell, Ken; Scott, Allan Full-time students undertaking a MBA experience a number of transitions, most notably from work to study and study to work. Consideration of effective transition strategies may offer insight into improving course structure, design and delivery. This paper explores these transitions using Bridges (2009) three stages of organizational transition as a structure. Initial findings suggest that the Bridges model is a useful approach for understanding the role the MBA plays within the student transition. The period of study can be broadly considered the neutral zone within Bridges model. Course design can be engineered to support the transitions by aligning curricular and co-curricular activity to student career development. Transition design should be incorporated early within the course structure to allow the student space to develop their work identity. For the MBA at the Robert Gordon University making transition activity explicit can help set a context for the 'four pillar' framework and offer a different perspective on course improvement. 2015-06-01T00:00:00Z Investigating the adoption of sustainable green initiatives in Scottish food and drink SMEs. http://hdl.handle.net/10059/1070 Investigating the adoption of sustainable green initiatives in Scottish food and drink SMEs. Dakup, Karan; Fulford, Heather; Sutherland, Bill J. Increasing concerns towards environmental issues (transportation emissions, global warming, depletion of natural resources) in today's global economy has resulted in the need for businesses to be more environmentally friendly and act in an environmentally responsible manner. Like most developed nations, the UK has placed significant importance on the need for more sustainable business operations. However the smooth adoption and implementation of these green practices by businesses is slow due to challenges such as lack of awareness, cost, resourcing, legislation, and incorporation into existing business processes. Green practices are often assumed by SMEs to involve significant expense, and in some cases even unaffordable. Particularly during the recent time of recession, focus has been on keeping SMEs afloat rather than making substantial investment in what are perceived to be "nice to have" green initiatives. SMEs sometimes also cite lack of knowledge of how to implement green initiatives and lack of support for such activity. The focus of this research is Scottish food and drink sector, which plays a vital role contributing nearly £10bn yearly to the economy. However, this positive contribution of the sector to the economy sits in tension with the fact it also generates a substantial amount of waste (estimated to generate 2 million tonnes of waste annually), and thus has costly negative impacts on the environment. This paper forms part of a larger doctoral study on green supply chain initiatives in Scottish SMEs. Specifically, the research has been set up to explore the various factors motivating and inhibiting the adoption of green initiatives by food and drink businesses. In this paper, the focus is on a review of the literature that was undertaken to establish some initial motivators and inhibitors among SMEs across a range of sectors. These were then explored further in a pilot study among six small firms in the food and drink sector Scotland. This qualitative pilot study was undertaken using semi-structured interviews with the owner-managers. Arising from the findings of the pilot study, a scale of "green-ness" was devised to chart the extent to which the firms have innovated by incorporating green practices into their business processes. A more extensive study is now being designed to test and refine the scale with a view to creating a model to assist small businesses in their planning and strategizing in relation to introducing green practices. The paper reports on the early stages of this research, including the pilot study and the creation of the "green-ness" scale. 2014-09-01T00:00:00Z

Exemplification Essay
An exemplification essay is a brief text that uses examples to support or defend its thesis. Typically, exemplification essays are thought of as position or argument essays in which the writer assumes a particular position regarding an issue or defends an argument by using multiple examples.
An exemplification report should not be lumped under the same category of a position or argument essay, however, because many exemplification essays are not seeking to advance a position or argument, but merely to explain. Exemplification essays are an excellent means of explanation because they offer many illustrative examples that can provide for a multi-dimensional approach to explanation or definition.
Whether they are argumentative or not, exemplification reports should have a clearly defined thesis statement. A thesis is the writer's primary point. When writing argumentatively, the thesis will present the writer's argument. If writing to explain, the thesis will summarize the issue needing explanation and the main points that will be covered in the exemplification. A thesis of an explanation essay might be something like this: "Three primary weapons used in World War I were mustard gas, the machine gun, and artillery. The use of these weapons varied depending on the type of battle." There is no argument in this thesis statement—it is simply stating a fact. The exemplification, or example part, will come in as the writer attempts to explain the weapons and how they were used in different types of battle situations.
The main body of an exemplification essay is the place for the development of thoughtful examples that contribute to the advancement of the thesis statement. Typically, good examples will require a paragraph or more of development. Therefore, it is standard format for each example to be developed in its own paragraph or set of paragraphs. The source of these examples will vary depending on the subject. For instance, in the report on World War I weaponry, the examples should be drawn from research. In other types of academic writings, however, it may be appropriate for the writer to incorporate an example from her own life or observation, or to use examples based on hypothetical situations. Regardless, every example should be clearly linked to the thesis.
The conclusion of an exemplification report should suggest how the examples as a whole contribute to the support. The conclusion should not repeat the thesis statement, but comment on the thesis in a new way.

From Our Editors
In 2012, Park Plaza Cinema made the conversion from reel to digital projectors, which WTOC chronicled locally. "It's a sad day. It's a historical day," Lucie Mann, who owns the theater with her husband, Larry, told WTOC. The digital conversion has not been the only upgrade at Park Plaza. The new Parlez-Vous Lounge and Ciné-Café invites guests to relax on its cushy benches or barstools for housemade ice cream or gourmet pizza or wings. Select beers and wines are also available. Along with its regular rotation of Hollywood blockbusters, family films, and arthouse cinema, the theater also organizes movie clubs and hosts a weekly movie-discussion group with a film critic.
