Used to being independent and in control, most cats find the experience of traveling in a carrier to be stressful. Unfamiliar smells, sights, the sound of traffic, and the sensation of being enclosed while moving... it's enough to make any cat complain in the back seat during the whole journey. If you're planning to travel with your cat, consider one of the many natural stress relievers available, or consult with your veterinarian about your prescription options.
Safe and easy to use, feline stress remedies help calm your cat so she can tolerate the stressful miles, as well as the unfamiliar surroundings once you arrive at a new destination. Calming aids like
Rescue Remedy, use herbal formulas that ease stress without overly sedating your cat. Whether or not you give your cat a calming aid before traveling, also consider bringing along some
catnip to distract her attention through the most hectic of journeys.
Choosing the right stress reliever
Every pet responds differently to these products, so if you find that your pet doesn't respond well to one, consider trying a different product. The right choice for your pet is the one she will readily accept.

Police investigate gas station robberyJanuary 28,2014Police investigate
gas station robbery
Vermont State Police investigated a robbery early Monday morning at the Exit 4 Sunoco gas station and convenience store in Dummerston.
Police said around 1:30 a.m., a man went into the store on Route 5 and demanded money from the clerk. The clerk at first refused, but after being threatened, turned over money, police said.
The robber then fled the store with about $100 in cash, according to police.
The robber was described as a white man, between 5 feet, 5 inches and 5 feet, 8 inches tall, with an average build. He was wearing a black knitted cap pulled down over his face with eye holes cut into it. He was also wearing a blue winter jacket with a white horizontal stripe across the front and back.
Police said no weapon was displayed and no injuries were reported.

AbstractEclipse Energy Systems proposes to optimize its visibly transparent metal-like self-structured conductor with plasmonic waveguide effect (VisTEC™) technology as a such a superior, low cost conductor for solar cells. The Eclipse visible transparent conductor is tailor-able for most types of PV, providing enhanced efficiency through a variety of properties. The Eclipse transparent conductor is a self structured nanomaterial with plasmonic waveguide nano-wires providing increased surface area and has metal-like conductance while maintaining dielectric like transparency. We feel that our VisTEC™ technology will give multi-junction solar cell efficiency improvement over metal based and indium-tin based conductors and help achieve the >37% target. The core technology has been flown in space where it showed excellent wear characteristics while deployed in the space vacuum environment. As a transparency window the coating can be optimized for most any type of PV cell thus Eclipse believes that this comprehensive program not only addresses the immediate goals of this solicitation but the overall Air Force goal to introduce a new generation of lighter and more powerful solar cell arrays by 2010. BENEFIT: Successful completion of the program objectives will result in the development of a family of easily processed, VisTEC covered photovoltaic cells displaying high photovoltaic efficiency at low cost. The VisTEC layer can be tuned for absorption and operation at UV, visible and infrared wavelengths as the surface plasmon effect increases the local electromagnetic field and affects the center frequency and efficiency of electron –hole generation. The photovoltaics will be used to meet individual Soldier energy requirements, communications, building and facility energy requirements and space-based electric power systems. The nanostructured surface Plasmon based TEC added to III-V photovoltaics will be brought to market through the establishment of strategic alliances with DoD prime contractors and commercial alternative energy firms. In particular, the defense- and space-related uses of the technology will be addressed with contractors concerned reducing logistics burdens in troop and equipment deployment. Space-based systems will be brought to market through contractual arrangements with firms working with the Department of Energy, Department of Defense and NASA.

Shooting the Waves
Interview by Leif Engstrom | Photo: Justin Burkle | July 18, 2014
Montauk photographer Justin Burkle has been capturing dynamic scenes of the Atlantic Ocean's magnificent power, as well as surfers' and sportsmen's ability to brave its ferocious waters, for seven years. Here, local surfing legend Leif Engstrom sits down with Burkle—who also owns and designs activewear line 41 Degrees North—to see where the tide takes them.
Leif Engstrom: How did you become interested in photography?
Justin Burkle: When I was growing up, my father, who worked for an airline, always had cameras around. My brothers and I would take offshore trips to Atlantis and Block Canyons, and I'd grab a camera and document our adventures; so that became a true passion for me. Eventually, every time we went on a trip and I was going into the water, I found myself taking the camera with me instead of a surfboard or a rod or spear gun.
What makes surfers such interesting subjects?
No two waves are ever the same, and no two surfers have the same surfing style, and that's always been interesting to me. The constantly changing ocean forces surfers to adapt to all types of conditions. And I also have to adjust my shooting style, because I'm swimming while taking the photographs. I never get the same shot twice—I'm always progressing and trying new angles.
You photograph surfers, and you're a surfer yourself—what do you like so much about it?
I like being immersed in the ocean. You forget about everything else, and just focus on the ocean and the changing conditions.
As a Montauk resident who shoots the Hamptons, what is it about the landscape that inspires you?
The pure beauty of the place, and the amount of open space. The fact that it hasn't been overdeveloped, that it's stayed a small fishing and surfing community, which goes hand in hand with my interests. I'm passionate about the ocean because of the activities, opportunities and peace of mind it gives me.
You also design the 41 Degrees North clothing line—how did that come about?
I started the line after noticing that none of the big brands really had anything that fit the local outdoor lifestyle. We do everything from spearfishing to surfing to diving to fishing here, so 41 Degrees North is a locally inspired active lifestyle brand. The name comes from the fact that 41 degrees north is the latitude of the East End of Long Island.
The line is made partially in Montauk—why keep production local?
It says a lot that you can do part or all of your production in Montauk, a place you wouldn't imagine is a manufacturing town. But it separates 41 Degrees North from everything else you see in stores that's made in China. The fact that it's locally made brings pride to the brand.

Possibly, your kid's teacher see him finding it hard to comprehend a specific study area, or maybe you might want to gear him for an advanced exam. For many diverse reasons, parents regularly seek help of extra lessons to give their kids the extra support they need outside the formal classroom setting. From homeschooling to online lessons, wide range of extra lessons are readily available to help you kid in math formulas he might find hard or to boost his French. So what are the different types of teaching methods available for you to select from?
Private home visits
Studying individually with a private teacher might be the best option if your child is quiet, shy and is easily distracted by other kids. If you are reluctant to find home tutors via online platforms or even bulletin boards, ask around for recommendations, or even contact organization that can recommend you a private teacher to fit your profile of expectations and requirements.
Tuition organization
Certain established extra study help organization also organize tuition sessions to fit in with your kids schedule. At an initial stage they will evaluate your kid's level and skills, and depending on the results will organize tailor made tuition sessions to boost his skills. Depending on your requirements, these organizations will either organize an individual study session or even a small group study session. This is an ideal option for those kids who find it comfortable to concentrate and study with a network of similar kids. This enhances a child's social and communication skills, and also helps parents to identify the standard of the child.
Specialized study sessions
If you are preparing your child for a high school final examination or university entrance, or even if your kid is experiencing learning difficulties, specialized study sessions are an excellent way to help your kid perform well. Many home tutors offer specialized study sessions parallel to formal high school schedules to ensure that they catch up fast with what is being taught at school.
Online lessons
If your youngster thinks that it's hard to work one-on-one with a private teacher in your home or other area – or likes to work alone – online lessons may be compelling, particularly on the off chance that she is comfortable working with the computer. In the event that your kid needs assistance with a complex physics issue, at any given time of the day, she can easily contact an online tutor 24 hours, seven days a week.

It's been a while since I made a portable (Office 2007) Thinapp application, and since then I've uninstalled VMWare from my machine to free up space, so I'd like to know if someone already knows the answer to this before I set up everything again to try it.
I'm thinking of installing a visual style (*.msstyles, for XP) along with the application to thinapp before post-setup capture. Failing that, maybe I'll try with visual mods such as Windows Blinds. The purpose is to be able to run a portable application with a specific visual style.
So my question is:
Is it possible? (I believe it somehow is, since VirtualBox does something similar to XP Mode)
If it is, will it work on a computer with the "classic" Windows style?
If it's not, will it work with another virtualization software? (Xenocode?)
If it's not possible with *.msstyles, will it work with visual mods such as Windows Blinds?
(P.S.: Awfully tagged due to lack of relevant tags or 100+ rep to create a tag :P)

|Published Version
View at publisher
BACKGROUND: In 1999, 5 complementary procedures were included into the Swiss basic health insurance on a provisional basis. In consequence, many people expected a substantial increase of costs of up to CHF 110 million or even higher.
METHODS: Data on consultation costs at the expense of basic health insurance for the period of 1997-2003 were analyzed for 206 certified complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) physicians with 1 or multiple certificates for complementary medicine. The data was provided by the Swiss health insurers' data pool (santésuisse). The 2 major Swiss health insurers provided additional cost data of expenditures reimbursed by private health insurance for complementary medicine. This allowed a longitudinal analysis of consultation costs at the expense of basic health insurance and the costs of private health insurance of certified CAM physicians. Furthermore, those costs were compared to the respective costs of 119 non-certified CAM physicians and 145 physicians in conventional practices.
RESULTS: The development of consultation costs of certified CAM physicians at the expense of basic health insurance showed a net annual increase of CHF 54,200 per physician between 1998 and 2002 and of CHF 35.9 million for all 663 certified CAM physicians. On the other hand, costs at the expense of private health insurance for complementary medicine decreased in the same period by CHF 34,300 per certified CAM physician and by CHF 22.8 million for all 663 certified CAM physicians. Conclusion: The inclusion of 5 complementary disciplines into the Swiss basic health insurance led to an increase of costs, which was, however, much lower than predicted.

Jimmy Eat World at First Avenue, 7/8/2013

Jimmy Eat World with X Ambassador
First Avenue, Minneapolis
Monday, July 8, 2013
"Thank you guys so much, First Avenue. God damn, we love this place," Jimmy Eat World's lead singer Jim Adkins expressed from the stage on Monday night. The men of Jimmy Eat World look like your average guys, but don't let that fool you. These men sure know how to rock. For a band that is known to the general public for their one hit from a decade ago, they also know how to pack a room on a Monday night when people have to go to work the next day.

Jimmy Eat World: Set goals that you can control
What sets Jimmy Eat World apart from all of these other dudes in bands? For one, they act as one cohesive machine when onstage. With a new album in hand, the band introduced some new pieces and fit in some old ones to keep the crowd excited. When an audience member asked for them to play all of their songs, Adkins replied, "You don't want to hear all of our songs." Maybe we do, Jim.
"Appreciation," the opening track off the new album Damage, was not entirely a deviation from the band's original sound, but also showed the band heading in a new direction. Although written in 2008, "Work" had the feeling of a song steeped in the '90s grunge era, filling the whole room with the nostalgia of being a teenager again. Perhaps that's why Jim said that the evening was "sweatin' to the oldies."

Quickly introducing a song by saying that a U.K. magazine asked them to cover the piece, Adkins dismissed the story until afterward, leading into an unrecognizable-until-the-chorus rendition of Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." As if in defense of playing such a popular song, Jim moved into the story of taking his eight-year-old to see Swift, because "Eight-year-olds love that shit. I was amazed by her professionalism. It was different. It was fun."
Photos by Youa Vang
The band slowed down the set with the title track off Damage, although this was not intentional -- people just didn't know the new material as well, swiftly leading into the ballad "Hear You Me." "Sweetness" opens with Jim's vocals and had the crowd excited from the first lyric. The song has Adkins and guitarist Tom Linton trading vocals back and forth. The two make for a delicious pop-punk combination with Linton's smooth voice filling in the sound.
"A Praise Chorus" was instantly catchy and instantly recognizable, and made you question the direction of your life. "Bleed American" had the crowd cheering and jumping, not knowing it was the band's last song.
As expected, their encore was a mini-concert with their signature "Chase This Life" and "Big Casino," leading into the perfect closer "The Middle." The reason people connect with Jimmy Eat World so much is that they aptly capture snapshots of a time, most of those snapshots of a transitional time in life when people are trying to find who they are. Perhaps that's why the lyrics "Live right now, just be yourself, it doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else" define a whole generation.
Critic's bias: Like many pop-punk bands of their generation, Jimmy Eat World's music is best experienced live.
The crowd: Twenty-somethings.
Overheard in the crowd: "I think this song is called 'Smells Like Teen Spirit.'"
Random notebook dump: Whoa. Openers X Ambassadors are intense, but wonderfully amazing.

Pound Declines Versus Euro After BOE Inflation Report
The pound fell from the strongest in 16 months against the euro as traders pushed back forecasts for when the Bank of England will raise interest rates after Governor Mark Carney said there remains slack in the economy.
U.K. government bonds advanced, with two-year yields having their biggest two-day decline since June, after a government report showed weekly earnings rose at a slower pace in the three months through March than economists estimated. Derivatives based on the sterling overnight interbank average showed expectations that policy makers will keep borrowing costs unchanged through April 2015. As recently as yesterday, they showed expectations for an increase in February.
"The pound has had a setback," said Jane Foley, a senior currency strategist at Rabobank International in London. "There is good reason for Carney not to be in a particular rush to raise interest rates. His tone has served to curb some of the over-optimism that has been brewing recently. Many people who had been bringing" their rate expectations "forward will be re-evaluating that now," she said.
The pound weakened 0.4 percent to 81.74 pence per euro at 4:46 p.m. London time after earlier appreciating to 81.27 pence, the strongest level since Jan. 7, 2013. Sterling declined 0.3 percent to $1.6781 after climbing to $1.6996 on May 6, the highest since August 2009.
Inflation Report
U.K. policy makers in their quarterly Inflation Report said while the level of spare capacity in the economy had "narrowed slightly" in the past three months, there "remains scope to make greater inroads into slack before raising Bank Rate." The Bank of England's benchmark has been at a record-low 0.5 percent since March 2009.
The pound also dropped versus all except one of its 16 major counterparts as the Office for National Statistics said wages excluding bonuses increased 1.3 percent in the first quarter, less than the estimate of 1.5 percent in a Bloomberg survey. Jobless claims fell 25,100 in April, versus the 30,000 decline forecast in a separate survey.
The jobless rate measured by International Labour Organization methods dropped to 6.8 percent in the three months through March from 6.9 percent in the quarter through February.
"Sterling hasn't liked the data," said Peter Kinsella, a senior foreign-exchange strategist at Commerzbank AG in London. "The earnings data was disappointing. It could give the Bank of England the excuse they need to hold rates for longer than people thought necessary."
The two-year gilt yield fell eight basis points, or 0.08 percentage point, to 0.66 percent, the lowest since April 16. It fell five basis points yesterday, making the two-day decline the biggest since the period ended June 26. The 2 percent gilt due January 2016 rose 0.13, or 1.30 pounds per 1,000-pound face amount, to 102.245.
The benchmark 10-year yield slipped 10 basis points to 2.58 percent, the lowest since Oct. 31.
Gilts returned 3.2 percent this year through yesterday, Bloomberg World Bond Indexes show. German bonds gained 3.5 percent and Treasuries earned 2.7 percent.

I've actually figured out the problem, and I'm going to post the details of my exploits when I have some spare time. I was trying to install Redhat on a Sun Cobalt Qube over the serial port. The problem is, their "netboot" actually loads a kernel stored in ROM, and mounts root via NFS, rather than loading the whole system, so loader kept failing while it was trying to probe something related to modules. I ended up running a chroot'ed /usr/bin/anaconda –m "ftp://local.ip/" –T to get it to work. I plan on building a patch for anaconda and loader.c so that instead of having anacaonda guess what needs to be done (like remounting ISO images, or just reading the directory, etc.) from the install method, you'll be able to tell it via the commandline, so that you can, for instance, use ISOs with one of the methods that doesn't currently support it, or override mounting options…

OCC's Walsh Says Credit-Rating Ban May Block Basel III
The Dodd-Frank Act ban on references to credit ratings in financial-industry rules should be amended to keep it from blocking adoption of international capital and liquidity standards, a top banking regulator told lawmakers.
"Precluding undue or exclusive reliance on credit ratings, rather than imposing an absolute bar to their use, would strike a more appropriate balance," John Walsh, the acting Comptroller of the Currency, said in testimony prepared for a Senate hearing today on the financial-regulation overhaul enacted last year.
Dodd-Frank requires regulators to replace references to credit ratings with an "appropriate" standard for measuring creditworthiness. Unless that provision is amended by Congress, the U.S. will have difficulty meeting the Basel III capital and liquidity framework adopted last year, Walsh said in comments prepared for the Senate Banking Committee.
Developing a new credit standard has been challenging for regulators, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Sheila Bair told lawmakers in her prepared remarks.
Credit-rating firms, including Moody's Corp. and McGraw-Hill Cos.' Standard & Poor's unit, were targeted by lawmakers after they issued top rankings to mortgage-backed securities whose collapse helped spark the financial crisis.
Senators called Walsh and Bair to testify along with regulators including Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke at a hearing marking the half-year since passage of Dodd-Frank, the biggest financial rules overhaul since the 1930s. Agencies are drafting scores of measures to boost oversight of derivatives, executive pay and systemically important financial firms.
Primary Focus
Senator Tim Johnson, the South Dakota Democrat who leads the Banking Committee, plans to make implementation of the law a primary focus of the panel, according to a draft agenda sent to members on Feb. 2.
"The Dodd-Frank Act is a major step forward for financial regulation," Bernanke said in his prepared remarks. The Fed is working "to ensure that the law is implemented expeditiously and in a manner that best protects the stability of our financial system and economy."
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Gary Gensler and Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro used their prepared testimony to repeat calls for funding increases to help carry out their new responsibilities.
'Major Expansion'
The regulatory law represents "a major expansion of the SEC's responsibilities and will require significant additional resources for full implementation," Schapiro said. Budgets for regulators including the CFTC and SEC have been targeted by Republican lawmakers looking to rein in federal spending.
Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee, in a Feb. 15 letter to regulators, urged them to conduct "rigorous" cost-benefit analysis of rules required under the law.
"The potential harm to our already-weak economy and the public from ill-conceived rules cannot be underestimated," the senators wrote to regulators, including Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner.
Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama, the banking panel's top Republican, said consumers will face higher costs for financial services because of regulatory and compliance fees stemming from Dodd-Frank.
"Absent legislative action, Dodd-Frank is going to be very expensive," Shelby said.

These are all great ones! Another favorite of mine that I overheard yet again at a recent 1/2 marathon:
"I paid for 4 hrs and I plan to use it."
"There is the truth about the marathon and very few of you have written the truth. Even if I explain it to you, you'll never undertand it, you're outside of it."
by Douglas Wakiihuri speaking to journalists
I ran my first marathon this month and I have found this to be true.
"You don't run 26 miles at five minutes a mile on good looks and a secret recipe" --Frank Shorter, 1972 Olympic Gold Medalist
"I always say if the marathon is a part-time interest, you will only get part-time results." -Bill Rodgers
"Nobody said it would be easy, they just said it would be worth it."- unknown
"I felt like I played in a very rough football game with no hitting above the waist". -Alan Page, former Nfl football star
"The truth is you can always run faster but sometimes the truth hurts." -unknown
We are different, in essence, from other men. If you want to win something, run 100 meters. If you want to experience something, run a marathon. -Emil Zatopek
Oh yes -- no one who has not run a full marathon gets that!
by Dean Karnazes, "you run the first half of a marathon with your legs, the second half with your heart."
This was on a T-Shirt at a cross-country meet:
Speed today, LSD tomorrow.
pain is weakness leaving the body
"Three hours?! I don't like to do things that feel GOOD for three hours!" -
Gwyneth Paltrow, on running a marathon.
I smile every time I think of this line....especially when I'm ready to quit after 20 minutes
Dear Dryther-thanks for sharing your Pre perspectives. Just reading those makes me feel like getting up from my desk and running out the door for Pre's big heart and my own!! J
Okay here's a few more marathon related ones:
"If you want to win something, run a 5K. If you want to experience something, run a marathon." - Emil Zatopek
"The marathon can humble you." - Bill Rodgers
"Running teaches us to challenge ourselves. It teaches us to push beyond where we thought we could not go. It helps us to find out what we are made of." - Patti Summer, Olympic Marathoner
And my all time favorite... The one that helps me with the last 6.2 miles of a marathon... drum roll please...
"Run if you can, walk if you must, crawl if you have to but don't give up." - Dean Karnaze
To XCJoyece,
You are welcome for the pre wisdom, every time I feel like not running I think back to what pre was about and realize its not about running.....its about how you live your life and never looking back and wishing you had given more. People all the time ask my why I run so much or so far, and I just say you won't understand. If you want to watch the movie Without limits,Pre, or fire on the track and you may just might understand why we run.
Here is one of my favorite quotes:
I don't want to win unless I know I've done my best, and the only way I know how to do that is to run out front, flat out until I have nothing left. Winning any other way is chicken-****.
I heard this from one of my running coaches, althought it may have been recited by thousands of people. I liked it so much I had it printed on the back of a couple of race shirts, I wear these at every race.
It gives you that sort of warm zen feeling doesn't it.
"My get up and go, got up and went!"
"Double up in single file." Though I prefer that as a bike quote.
"Don't just do something. STAND THERE!"
"Pain is temporary...finishing lasts forever" (not sure who said it but I have it on a t-shirt)
A funny one that I will wear at my half says "wait! I thought this was 1.31 miles!"
"If you want to start beating the Kenyans, send shoes and wait a couple of years." -I said that.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Solitary Pulmonary Nodule
Topic Overview
A transthoracic needle aspiration (TTNA), which uses a long needle inserted through the chest wall, can sometimes be used to remove a tissue sample from an SPN. This usually is done if the abnormal lung tissue is located close to the chest wall. Imaging procedures such as CT scan, ultrasound, or fluoroscopy typically are used to help guide the needle to the right spot. Another possible test is bronchoscopy with transbronchial biopsy (TBB). In this test, a flexible tube is inserted through the nose and down to the lungs. A camera in the tube shows where the SPN is, and a tiny tool in the same tube takes a small sample of the SPN tissue.
Most cancerous nodules can be identified through biopsy, but positive identification of noncancerous nodules can still be difficult. If a biopsy shows cancer, surgery can often remove the cancer. If your doctor determines that you have a high risk of having a cancerous nodule, he or she may decide not to do this test and instead recommend surgery to remove the nodule. A pathologist looks at the nodule under a microscope to see if it is cancer.
Follow-up testing for a noncancerous SPN includes chest X-rays or CT scans as often as your doctor recommends to look for any change in the size or shape of the nodule.

SoHo Landmark Posts Gains on Condo Plan
Developer Jared Kushner walked away empty-handed for the fourth time in his quest to build a glass penthouse on top of the landmark Puck Building.
But an end to Mr. Kushner's four-month effort to obtain city approval for his plans may now be in sight.
Mr. Kushner, a principal at New York-based Kushner Cos. and owner of the New York Observer, wants to build a two-story glass addition as well as renovate the top two floors of the building in order to create six condos at the 125-year-old structure that once served as a printing facility.
But he has struggled to win over the Landmarks Preservation Commission, which regulates changes to the city's historic structures ranging from windows replacements to new condo construction.
Members of the landmarks commission described earlier plans for the addition as "aggressive" and "too visible."
The latest plan reduces the height of the addition quite significantly. The second floor, in particular, was substantially scaled back so that officially it's now simply a mezzanine floor. The plans also call for restoring the ornate parapets to help conceal the addition.
The commissioners found the new plans to be appropriate, according to a spokeswoman, but held off on voting.
"The architecture has calmed down. It's not a statement anymore," said Frederick Bland, an architect and one of the commissioners.
The commission didn't vote because a mock-up made of scaffolding that sits on top of the building is still 4 feet too high. The commission asked Mr. Kushner to scale back the scaffolding to reflect the revised plans.
"I'd like to see another mock-up that's accurate because that took me aback," said Commission Chairman Robert B. Tierney.
Mr. Kushner plans to go back to the commission with the revised mock-up in coming weeks, he says.
"We are pleased with the progress we're making. This continues to be a productive process leading to a very special finished product, which will improve the building in many ways," Mr. Kushner said in a statement.
The crimson and green Puck Building, the former home of Spy Magazine, is one of the most recognizable buildings in SoHo. But in addition to its sentimental appeal, the Romanesque Revival structure is also in a lucrative location for residential development at Houston and Lafayette streets.
For Mr. Kushner, the planned luxury condos are likely to be a revenue generator for the building. Much of the building is rented to New York University for the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. Outdoors-goods retailer REI recently opened a 35,000-square-foot store in the base of the building.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Roman Catholic archbishop over the Indian
state of Orissa says Christians who fled intense persecution there
are being forced to convert to Hinduism if they return.
Archbishop Raphael Cheenath, who visited Washington last week,
said Christians who refuse "have been assaulted, tortured or killed" in front of their families. He said he's assured parishioners in his archdiocese that signing conversion papers under duress won't change their status as Catholics.
Since last August, dozens of Christians have been killed and thousands have been injured. Christians' homes and churches have
been burned and an estimated 50,000 have fled into jungles or
refugee camps.
Cheenath says India's Supreme Court has ordered the government to stop the violence and pay compensation to the victims, but many are too frightened to return home.

ePay for Friends of the Library membership
Outstanding public libraries of all sizes know that the difference between very good service and excellent service is often through the efforts of their Friends organizations. Here at the Kansas City Public Library, the Friends have been an integral part of the system for over 20 years, and hope to continue for many years.
By joining the Friends, you can help provide that margin of excellence. Through kiosk sales, regular book sales, membership fees, online merchandising, and other fundraising programs, the Friends help to pay for library items not otherwise covered by other means. Investments in displays, children's learning materials, upgraded information technologies, and even something as seemingly small as a soft rug for listeners to sit on while listening to a story are all part of our goal to enhance learning and the discovery of new worlds for the library society.

So I've recently been trying to help out the community by building a pimcore based nginx vhost config. Everything works very well from what I can see except for 1 small issue. If any of the pages (cms pages) consume an rss feed for instance and the rss feed returns a 503 error (unavailable / 404 etc) then the entire page is forwarded to a 503 / 404 error page instead of just disabling the load of that item. This issue does not show up on apache.
The problem that occurs is lets say for instance the /about is a cms page that includes an rss feed. The about page is valid however the feed that is consumed and to be displayed in the page returns a 503 error. Nginx appears to be picking up the included asset and redirects the top level page (/about) to an error page instead of rendering the majority of the page. The config is a little bit dirty at the moment but fully working as I've tried many different things to make this work however I can't find the correct config set to fix the issue. Setting the interal; value within the / or .php locations do not appear to be changing anything either.
If someone can help me with this issue then I can work on securing the actual document root before adding it back into community documentation.
The standard vhost uses:
server {
listen 80;
server_name _;
root /data/www/pimcore;
access_log /var/log/nginx/$host-access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/pimcore-error.log debug;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/_tpl/pimcore.cf;
The pimcore.cf file that I load per vhost looks like the following:
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico|xml|swf|flv|eot|ttf|woff|pdf|xls|htc)$ {

The SEMPO 2007 State of the Market Survey Results are in, and the data shows robust growth in the North American SEM industry year. Spending reached $12.2 billion in 2007, exceeding projections of $11.5 billion. In 2006, the spend came in at $9.4 billion. As a result, the projection for 2011 is now at $25.2 billion, up from the $18.6 billion projection set a year ago.
Now that marketers are getting the hang of traditional search, many are looking to new channels, including video and mobile. 43% of participants are interested in contextually targeted advertising attached to video search results, while 40% are interested in mobile search. But most respondents said pricing would need to be the same as or less than it is for traditional search advertising.
Pricing was also an issue in paid search. About three quarters of those surveyed could afford a price increase, but it would need to be an increase of 30% or less.
Other stats from the survey include:
- Marketers found more search dollars by grabbing from print magazine, website development, direct mail and other marketing budgets.
- Organic SEO's popularity was up to 89% in 2007, from 80% in 2005 and 76% in 2006. Agency respondents offering organic SEO rose to 91% in 2007, up from 80% in 2005 and 87% in 2006.
- 4 out of 5 respondents would increase their budget in order to add behavioral targeting to their pay-per-click campaigns.
- 57% of online advertisers would spend an average of 11% more on demographic targeting, such as age and gender.
The numbers are on par with revenues posted by the search engines. Earlier this year, Google beat analysts estimates by posting strong Q1 2008 revenues, despite data indicating a slowdown in paid search growth. Yahoo and Microsoft also held steady financially despite declining search shares and the acquisition drama.
What do you think about this data? Are you looking to video and mobile? Let us know in the comments.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

29 More Rules for Thanksgiving Touch Football
Before the turkey, before the cranberry sauce (homemade or disturbing goo version), before the family argument at the dining room table that grows a little too tense, you will play in the most important sporting event of the calendar: Thanksgiving Day touch football. Last year, we brought you 32 rules on how to survive your family game. Now we're back, like your aunt's underrated peach cobbler. Here are the updated rules:
The 2011 Rules
1. The family touch football game is going to be your only athletic activity of Thanksgiving Day. Let's be real. No matter how many times you tell everyone you are going for a run—you are not going for a run. You're not fooling anybody.
2. There's always a person in the family who suggests "mixing it up this Thanksgiving" and playing soccer or hide-and-seek or taking a family hike at the nature preserve. No. Fail. You're playing touch football. Nobody wants to go hiking at the nature preserve. Boring.
3. If you wear a blazer and tie during the Thanksgiving game, it is a rule that you're going to be the first person knocked down into the mud and everybody will laugh. Related: Why are you wearing a blazer and tie to Thanksgiving?
4. It's not really a family touch football game unless at least three family members have no idea which team they are playing on.
5. There's always a moment during the Thanksgiving touch football game when someone finds out what a bad, bad boy Peanut Butter, the family golden retriever, has been in the backyard. Bad Peanut Butter!
6. There are no steroids allowed in Thanksgiving touch football. But your Uncle Dave just tested positive for vodka and doughnuts.
7. Mom wants to play quarterback, Mom gets to play quarterback.
8. Must emphasize this again: Use a leather football. Foam footballs are for preschools and dogs.
9. Nobody in the family can throw a "perfect" spiral. Nobody. Your cousin who thinks he can throw a "perfect" spiral? That would be the ugliest pass Tom Brady ever threw.
10. If you are playing your Thanksgiving touch football on the beach in 80-degree weather, congratulations on your fine luck. Also: Everyone hates you.
11. If a nice man shows up at the front door wearing a No. 15 jersey and begging to play, let him. That's Tim Tebow, and he just wants somebody to let him take a few snaps. But running plays only. No passes. He'll understand.
12. There's always someone who uses the touch football game as an excuse to sneak off and eat ice cream and pie in the kitchen at 10:30 a.m.
13. Remember, there is no instant replay in family touch football. Like all family business, on-field arguments are settled by sulking and passive aggression.
14. If you are a Kennedy, yes: Taylor Swift is showing up to the family touch football game in Hyannis Port this year, and she's bringing homemade cupcakes, mix tapes and papier-mâché sculptures of everyone. It's going to be super awkward.
15. During your game somebody will catch a touchdown pass with one hand while holding a beer in the other. Please know that somewhere in New England, an injured Rob Gronkowski is doing the exact same thing.
16. You do not need fancy end-zone markers in touch football. You only need four items to mark end zones: a winter hat, a flower pot, a 12-pack of beer and your Aunt Ginny.
17. If you're new to a family, hold back a little. A first Thanksgiving with potential future in-laws is not the day for a 400-yard, nine-TD, 15-sack performance. You will wind up eating turkey outside on the porch.
18. It's all fun and games until the first relative over 80 hits the deck. But Grandma's fine! Shake it off, Grandma!
19. Losers Walk! "Losers Walk" is when you make the defeated defensive team walk back to the other end of the field after they get scored upon. Where I grew up, it was called "Suckers Walk." You could also call it the "Amble of Humiliation," the "Trudge of Shame," the "Dawdle of Ignominy." Of course, you might get "Socked in the Eye."
20. Everybody loves playing football with cute little kids but let's face it: Nobody passes to cute little kids on third-and-long. Come on. Huge play!
21. If you decide the game is "grown-ups only" and play without kids, just realize that the kids are going to go to the den and watch "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" on cable.
22. Every family has a secret cigarette smoker, who thinks nobody knows they smoke, even though everyone knows they smoke. Make this person run as many deep routes as possible.
23. Your 14-year-old nephew who plays Madden 13 all day? Listen to that kid. He knows a scary amount about football. Completely scary.
24. If you have a relative who went to Notre Dame, just realize the Fighting Irish are ranked No. 1 in college football right now and this relative is going to be unbearable at Thanksgiving this year.
25. No: Rain does not cancel the family touch football game. What is this, tennis?
26. The best player in your family touch football game will always be someone who has never played touch football before. Always.
27. Ten minutes into your touch football game, pause to realize an amazing thing: This is the longest your family has gone in a year without looking at their smartphones.
28. The touch football game is over when four or more family members are crying.
29. Rule 28 also applies to dinner. Happy Thanksgiving!

Amazing skimmer By kiel on 11/18/2015kiel would recommend this product to a friendI replace a $500 dollar skimmer with this one and the difference is huge. Very easy to tune in. Pulls a ton out of the water. Large drop in nitrates.
No better product on the market By Adam on 9/5/2015Adam would recommend this product to a friendSeriously, there has not been a better skimmer built for the hobby reef aquarium keeper. This thing pulls so much out of my water every day. Plus, you just can't get over how high quality the workmanship is that goes into this. Every time I empty the cup I am again impressed by the solid material and workmanship. I am a fan for life and will buy Vertex/Royal every time. The cost is a bit more but I now 100% understand why and agree.
Excellent By Sapelo on 8/31/2015Sapelo would recommend this product to a friendReally very amazing. Quiet, straight forward, EASY and wonderfully effective. I wish I'd bought this skimmer from the beginning!
I didn't know it could be this good By Kevin on 9/14/2013Kevin would recommend this product to a friendI started a few years ago and got a smaller Tunze Doc Skimmer. I've always had trouble adjusting it and it just seemed like cheap plastic. After fiddling with it all the time and it barely producing skimmate, I decided to upgrade.
I got the Vertex Alpha 200 and I couldn't be happier. If you follow the directions, it was pretty easy to setup and adjust. The workmanship is so solid, and I've been running it for two weeks now. From day one it was producing a lot of nasty smelling dark skimmate. It was so beautiful I didn't even know it was supposed to look like that.
I am thrilled with this product.
I would say that while it's a good idea that the neck unscrews so it takes less vertical space to take it out....I think after a while it might get more difficult to unscrew the head. Since there are no handles on the top and bottom it's kind of awkward to take it off sometimes. Maybe I'm missing something...
love it By ROGERWILCO357 on 9/8/2013ROGERWILCO357 would recommend this product to a friendLove the feel of workmanship just touching and picking it up and you know its no mickey mouse skimmer I have 2 and love them skims all the garbage just wish they had the automatic neck cleaner as part of the purchase deal or bundle deal price.
Built like a tank but........ By Robert on 11/25/2012Robert would recommend this product to a friendI ordered this skimmer earlier this year and found it's well built!!! There are a couple things to keep in mind. It is advertised as having dual pump input ports....it doesn't have 2 input ports, only 1(wish they would change this in the product description for those it matters to ). The other thing is there is no manual included with the skimmer, I downloaded one from Vertex here; http://www.vertexaquaristik.com/Portals/0/products/proteinSkimmers/internalSkimmers/alphaSeries/skimmerManual.pdf. ............ you are paying the extra $ for the best and not getting any documentation?!!!!, Vertex could definitely do a better job here!! With this said I wouldn't hesitate to buy this again, The skimmer is GREAT and that's what matters!!! BRS was ready to take care of the dual port not being there but, it I didn't need it in my case. It's reassuring to know BRS does back up what they sell and that is great piece of mind when you are spending big $, nice job! THANKS BRS !!!!!!!
Super skimmer! By BK on 10/5/2012BK would recommend this product to a friendFirst off, this skimmer is not cheap. Heck, who would pay $800+ for a protein skimmer when an entire tank setup can be had for this price. But if you are the rare aquarist who wants the absolute best, this is the skimmer for you. First off, it's super quiet- a friend of mine remarked that he couldn't hear anything from the red dragon pump. Second, the construction is rock solid - titanium screws, cast acrylic, nothing flimsy. Finally, this skimmer pulls so much thick, nasty green stuff from my tank that within days, my sump water was clear again without a green tinge. Buy it once and use for life!
WoW By Eric on 8/14/2012Eric would recommend this product to a friendSave yourself some frustration and money and buy the best skimmer the first time around. This skimmer is whisper quite and the performance is hands down the best I have seen. I have only been running the skimmer 4 days and it has out performed a $500 skimmer and a $600 skimmer I purchased prior.
awesome skimmer By mjd on 7/4/2011mjd would recommend this product to a friendThis is my 4th and hopefully final skimmer. All I can say is that, you only get what you pay for (I have skimped on my skimmers in the past - couldn't justify the massive expense) and now I learned my lesson. This thing rocks!

While defending state champion Gabby Karas of Collins sat out the AA girls' state cross country meet Saturday with an injury, there were still plenty of positives for both Collins and Shelby County.
Karas, the three-time defending state champ and state record holder for the event, ran in the regional meet the week before but shin splits that have plagued her all season forced her to the sideline again.
Finding someone predicting a running-clock blowout when Anderson County hosted Collins Friday night would have been as likely as Elvis showing up in Lawrenceburg.
Both teams were limping to the end of the regular season with numerous injuries, 4-5 records and three seeds in the playoffs.
But ladies and gentlemen, Elvis was in the stadium.
Well, sort of.
North Oldham won the girls' Region 3 cross country title but the big news was the return of Collins' Gabby Karas to competition.
Karas, the three-time defending state champion, has been sidelined this season by illness and shin splits but she returned Saturday to help the Titans to a second place team finish and spot in Saturday's state meet.
Along with North Oldham and Collins, the Shelby County team also qualified for the state meet.
It couldn't get much closer between the North Oldham and Shelby County boys' cross country teams.
With both placing their top five runners in the top 15, defending state champion North Oldham edged Shelby County 31-33 Saturday in the regional meet.
"We're right there, it's such a close call," Shelby County junior David Jacobs said. "I think it's going to stay that way at the state meet, too. With us and North Oldham, and with Highlands, it will come down to who runs the best that day."
For two teams who clinched their respective districts the week before, Shelby County and South Oldham brought a little bit of everything to the field Friday as the Rockets pulled out a 28-21 win over the Dragons.
"Oh my gosh, we both had our share of ups and downs in this one," Shelby County coach Todd Shipley said. "At one point I thought we had things going our way, but give South Oldham credit, they came right back at us. That's a very good football team we were able to beat tonight."
The Caspian Tern is a fairly common migratory bird through Kentucky except during the summer when it is rare. However June sightings in the Ohio River and the lake areas of western Kentucky seems to indicate that this species occasionally remains throughout the summer. Early spring sightings are March 30 and late autumn is Nov. 19.
The Collins Titans will see a lot of different looks but something very familiar Friday when they go to Anderson County to close the regular season.
Collins will see an Anderson team with an identical 4-5 record and one that has battled through injuries all season long just like the Titans.
"When you look at us, we have been through a lot of the same things," Collins coach Jerry Lucas said. "I think both of us are coming into this game wanting to play well as we go into the playoffs next week."
If the Shelby County Rockets look in the mirror this week they just might see South Oldham starting back at them.
The Rockets, (8-1), fresh off winning the district championship with a dominating win over Collins last week will take on a South Oldham team on the road tonight that is also 8-1 and coming off a win over North Bullitt that gave them a 5A district title.
The Collins High School volleyball team is closer to moving into the region's elite class but saw the work the program needs to do as the Titans fell to Oldham County 25-15, 25-21 and 25-13 in the opening round of the Eighth Region tournament at North Oldham Tuesday.
It was an up-and-down season for Shelby County junior golfer Lilly Young, but it has ended on an upswing for Young as she has been named the Region V Player of the Year by the state's golf coaches.
"I was really surprised by this, I found out at lunch today," Young said. "I had no idea this was going to happen. It's really nice."
