Improves your site's page load speed by preventing NextGEN's scripts & css from loading on posts without galleries.
Improves your site's page load speed by ensuring NextGEN Gallery's scripts and styles ONLY load on posts with the [nggallery id=x] shortcode.
It also includes and automatically-integrates the fantastic Fancybox lightbox script, so now you can have gorgeous galleries AND a speedy site! *Requires NextGEN Gallery 1.6.2 and up.
Please note: The basic version currently only supports the popular [nggallery id=x] shortcode and thus, will not load the extra scripts required for slideshows to function. If you require slideshow support, please consider downloading the Premium version...
Builds on the basic version and adds support for ALL TEN of NextGen's shortcodes including [nggallery id=x], [slideshow id=x], [album id=x], [thumb id=x], [singlepic id=x], [imagebrowser id=x], [nggtags gallery|album=mytag], [random max=x], [recent max=x] and [tagcloud].
It also adds support for the [Show as slideshow] link (loading slideshow scripts only after a user clicks-through), precision targeting for shortcode SUB-pages (ensuring we only load the scripts we need on each view), support for JW Image Rotator for stylish slideshows, support for AJAX pagination on [imagebrowser id=x] and now, features an attractive effect that resizes Fancybox when the browser window is resized.
This Premium version is available from the plugin settings page, or can be downloaded here.
If you have any questions, suggestions, ideas or feedback, please email me at email@example.com
This release brings us up to date with WordPress 3.5, and features a number of additions and refinements to improve user experience. These include new admin notifications to assist users who don't have the required NextGEN Gallery plugin installed and activated, new step-by-step installation instructions via the WordPress admin (to ensure the correct file ownership and permissions are set), a streamlined settings page, and improvements to Optimizer's automatic Fancybox installation.
This release aims to improve communication between Optimizer and end-users, including dynamic messaging for admins on unsupported shortcodes, and a clever regex that detects and alerts you if your theme (or child-theme) is deregistering jQuery...which causes Fancybox to break. Additionally, security is enhanced with the addition of blank index.php files in each folder, preventing bots from scanning your server's directory tree.
This first major release for Optimizer sees a number of new additions and features... Fancybox now includes space for a single-line title in its image height calculations, vastly improving vertical alignment of the lightbox. Also, Optimizer now lets you choose between using WordPress's included jQuery (for greater compatibility), or the Google-hosted version (for faster page loads). Support for the Thickbox and Shutter effects has also been added thanks to user requests.
On top of this, the Premium version now includes AJAX pagination when using Shutter on the [imagebrowser id=x] shortcode, supports the JW Image Rotator for slideshows and features a super-fancy, auto-resize function that resizes Fancybox when the browser window is resized!
This version adds the jQuery.noConflict(); method for improved compatibility with plugins and themes using other javascript libraries/frameworks including script.aculo.us, Prototype and MooTools. It also includes a fix for Fancybox/NextGEN Gallery integration where a small white line would appear underneath the lightbox when no title was set.
This version enhances compatibility with other plugins and includes a few minor improvements.
This version features completely automated Fancybox integration with NextGEN Gallery, so now you can be up and running even faster.
This version uses WordPress's native get_shortcode_regex() function for EXACT shortcode matching, ensuring scripts and styles don't load unexpectedly unless the FULL shortcode is present. If WordPress doesn't detect a shortcode, neither do we!
Also, this update introduces the new NextGEN Gallery Optimizer Premium version, which adds support for ALL TEN of NextGen's shortcodes, support for the [show as slideshow] link, the removal of NextGEN's version number comment and more.
This version automatically redirects first time users to the options page on activation and sets a default stylesheet for easier set up.
This update results in faster page loads on gallery pages by avoiding duplicate scripts. It reduces the chance of conflicts with other plugins and makes setting up Fancybox even easier.
This update lets you display galleries on both Posts AND Pages in style, but only load code when they're present.
It also fixes an issue where some page elements overlap Fancybox and prevent the close button from functioning (in particular the title text, header image and menu bar in Twenty Eleven).
It fixes the "Fancybox not working in IE6 & IE8" issue by automatically updating the Fancybox stylesheet to use the correct file paths, and we're now running Fancybox on JQuery version 1.7.1, resulting in faster page loads where galleries are present.
Requires: 3.1.2 or higher
Compatible up to: 3.5.2

I am not sure what to make of this government budget situation. I know we are going to face the same problems in January, but not sure how to make it stop.
What drives me crazy is that the Republicans keep screaming how Social Security, Medicare and various "entitlement" – I hate that word – is going to bankrupt this country.
I cannot help but believe this is totally untrue. Here is why. The deal that was made between the House, Senate and president contains an additional $410 billion in new spending. Nothing of which is going to any of those programs.
These are what is known as pork barrel spending or earmarks. Do no get me wrong, both political parties got some of these goodies. I started reading about these different earmarks and got a migraine headache.
However they all had the same theme, nonsense spending on projects that showed very little or no value. Many of these dollars are going to states where the representative or senators are facing a very difficult reelection. The president does not have to worry about that, but I am sure he is protecting the party.
One of the ones that prove this point most effectively is the one by Mitch McConnell, Republican leader in the Senate. I am not picking on the Republican but I cannot make sense out of the statements by him and even the president about why they need to spend $2.9 billion on a dam project on the Ohio River.
They stated the it would cost the taxpayers $160 million if they canceled the project, which is already over the budget amount as it stands right now. So their argument is that we must spend $2.9 billion so the taxpayers are not charged $160 MILLION in contract cancellations.
I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person, but this does not make sense to me. Spend $2.9 billion to save $160 million. If anyone out there can explain this to me, please I would love to know the answer.
I am in South Carolina and our governor recently said she is proud she did not take help from the federal government. One of her first acts was to give all her staff large raises and cut education spending. South Carolina is ranked 40th in household income, median household income is approximately $24,000. Unemployment is 11 percent. The governor gave many corporations tax incentive to create jobs, but does not have any idea if these jobs were created because the corporation police themselves. She currently is trying to put the control of the school in the governors hands. She refused to work with the federal government to help get people signed up for health care and expand Medicaid which would help children receive medical care. Yes, governor, be proud of how you treated the people in your state your fit right into what the Republicans believe America should be.
Since 2005, S.C. have received over $1 trillion in various earmarks, most went to military installations and energy and water projects. Did any of these create jobs in S.C., I doubt it, since our unemployment rate is one of the highest in the country.
North Carolina is passing laws to make it harder to vote for minorities and younger people. Again, Education and teaching positions were eliminated. The Governor in N.C. gave two 24-year-old members of his staff a $60,000 raises each and now wants $19,000 to remodel his bathroom, down from the original amount of $120,000. Amazing how they continue to spend money and say the American people feel entitle to Social Security and Medicare.
Here is a novel idea. Remove all earmarks from now until the federal debt is paid off. American families are told to remove all unnecessary spending, get rid of their expensive phone services, no dinners out, cancel their cable and other expenses, why not the government? Do we really need another statue in front of a government building or a road going nowhere for $250 million?
The government shutdown has cost the taxpayers $24 billion, Mr. Cruz feels he did a good thing and wants to do it again in January. Money that could have been used to reduce the debt. Our own M. Mulvaney agrees with Cruz positions on this and will continue to try to defund the health care act. He has never said he would fight again earmarks or pork barrel spending, just against Social Security, Medicare and Obamacare.
The worst part of this is the slap in the face to the American people, they are going to give back pay to all the workers that were furloughed. Now, I was laid off a few times, and my husband was laid of for over a year. We collected unemployment for 26 weeks, lost our health insurance. Not the federal employees. They got a paid vacation on taxpayer dollars. The only ones that should have received pay were the ones still working, including all military personnel. Everyone else should have applied for unemployment just like the rest of us. Oh wait, they are exempt from that requirement.
No one should be exempted for any any law or any benefits.
Next time there is an elections instead of asking about tax reform or defunding programs, let us ask our candidates about earmark reform. Let us ask about their exemptions from laws that should never have been allowed in the first place.
This country was built upon the belief that all men are created equal. These are the real things that are going to destroy our country, when one group is allowed rights and privileges and not anyone else. These are the real issues that are facing us now, do not let them get lost in political rhetoric about health care.
That is not the America I grew up in and hopefully my grandchildren will not have to endure. Send a message to your candidates that you want real change.

SUMMITVILLE — Police say a driver passing multiple vehicles broadsided another driver's car.
Just after noon Sunday, Brian Hopkins, 27, of Marion, was driving his red 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix south on Indiana 9 in VanBuren Township, just west of Summitville. He then attempted to make a left turn onto County Road 1650 North, said Madison County Sheriff's Department Maj. Brian Bell.
At the same time, Lorraine Hackett, 62, of Anderson, also southbound on Indiana 9, was trying to pass two vehicles in front of her green 2006 Dodge Caravan. She broadsided Hopkins on the driver's side of his vehicle while he was turning, Bell said.
Sheriff's Department officer Steven White responded.
Bell said no charges were made against Hackett. Her passenger, Gleason Hacket, was taken to Community Hospital Anderson for minor pain in his chest and shoulder.

etro's milan gallery picks-------
Etro does not begin and end with paisley. Watching the collection come down the runway is like opening a book full of well-researched chapters on anthroplogy and art. This catwalk mix of artistic and cultural influences, both contemporary and ancient, is not accidental—the Etro family has been collecting art and artifacts for years. "My father started buying things in the 1920′s. Back then he bought Antonio Donghi and de Chirico," Jacobo Etro, the son in charge of the label's home collection, told us backstage yesterday. "His hobby inspired me. Today I'm drawn to things that have a timeless feel—objects that may have been created 400 years ago, and yet look contemporary at the same time, like ancient Noh masks. I also love photography; to me it's the painting of today. I collect pieces from the German and Japanese schools—and never fashion photography. Milan may not be London or New York, but I always keep an eye out. Studio Guenzani and Massimo De Carlo are on the top of my list of Milanese galleries."

Replace Mrs. Kline
This is a petition have Mrs. Kline (geometry, extended algebra, pre-calc, and AP Calc teacher) of Allendale High School fired or replaced. She spends a decent 10 minutes a day yelling at either certain individuals or the entire class, as well as taking points off of homework for things she hasn't even told us to do. Two particular situations are during a test the week before last she yelled at two boys in her 1st hour class for having the common courtesy to say "Bless you" when someone sneezed. And today, 10.25.10, she told a girl in her 1st that she was a hooker because the strap to her bra was showing.

Sweet Treats at Ten 01
Most everything is a blur from the home-made chocolate chip cookies with sea salt that were presented with the check, but I'll do my best to remember…
My girlfriend Liz and I walked in to Ten 01 and were immediately greeted with a smile from our host, who sat us at a romantic window-side table, a perfect vantage point to observe the bustling Pearl District as it passed by. It was then that we were introduced to our culinary tour guide for the evening, Chris. Chris told us about the specials as if he were trying to contain excitement, but I had already spied my starting point, the Beef Carpaccio. My beautiful date, decided on the Braised Romaine Salad with Prosciutto. The beef was smoked to perfection still retaining its cold natural state, but tasting as if the animal had been raised over smoldering mesquite chips. The salad, an explosion of flavors, was a beautifully executed balancing act of textures and tastes.
For the main course, we argued about ordering differently to be sure we tried more than one item from the menu. I immediately picked the Braised Lamb Shank with White Bean Cassoulet, and Liz the Australian Wagyu Beef (something akin to Kobe beef from Japan, only from down-under). Both were extraordinary, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and with each bite I was reminded why we are so lucky to live in such a culinary mecca as Portland. We finished our meal by sharing the Peanut Butter Bread Pudding with Pretzel Bark and Malted Milk Ice Cream. I'm sure they were going to name this dessert something else, but as Heaven, Love, and Nirvana were only slightly less descriptive, they apparently had to settle for a literal translation.
Then my world was shocked. Instead of mints with the check, we were handed what can only be described as the GREATEST COOKIE EVER! I'd gladly pay the check again for a few dozen more of those bad boys! Kudos to the staff at Ten 01, and Portland in general, for supporting such a great example of culinary art, service, and attention to detail. This Pearl District gem is a must! And ask to be seated in Chris' section…you'll be glad you did.
Bryan Flannery is a California native but moved to Oregon in 1999 and has had a deep love affair with it ever since. Bryan is a self-described foodie and has been eating his way through the different regions of the state, and the eclectic neighborhoods of Portland bit by bit. When he's not eating and drinking, he fronts his band (the Portland favorite), Bryan Flannery Band. Bryan says his perfect Oregon moment, "Was when my band played mainstage at the Bite of Oregon. Food and Music?! Yes, please!"

I just saw the show where Jann and hubby were trying to find a safe house for her son Ben. We all want our children safe but she may unstable or mentally ill. Very sad and disturbing to watch. Someone close to her or her clueless husband should HELP.
Sorry, Mbbabe, But I not only didn't see the show to which you are referring but I also would never interject my opinions about such a sensitive subject into a poll based on a television show's final edit. I, do, commend you for caring, however.
Sounds like you do care so it would be great for you to take action. Become involved in CASA, Big Brother/Sister Programs or explore which services are available in your local area and help to fill in wherever there is a need...
Always happy to see someone new post to the real estate boards; just no way I would ever put in my 2 cents on something that none of us know or understand nor have from first-hand knowledge from an edited TV program. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Idaho Resident,
Are you sure his name wasn't Jackson?
Without seeing the show you're referencing and what the family dynamic was, I can't answer your question; however, it is a good topic of discussion to have on the housing boards.
How far do "some" people go these days to keep their children safe at home. Many things parents are almost required to do was unheard of when I was a child many decades ago and almost unheard of or considered "trendy" when my nephews were growing up, still a number of decades ago.
So, do you make an investment in a home based on the needs of a 2 year old, or for the long haul?
For example - this is not an at home but an insane parent (IMHO) issue. We visited a local state park that crosses a marsh area. Next to the roadway is a separated walking path with a concrete barrier on the road side and a handrail on the water side. Two children were walking on the path to get a better look at the water creature (birds and an old alligator) Traffic was at an almost standstill because the parents were following along behind the children in their SUV. It is a perfectly safe walking path with parking at one end. The children were school age and should have enough common sense to walk on a sidewalk with out stepping into traffic or jumping over the rail. At least I would hope. IF you do not think your children are smart enough to accomplish that, why not park the car and walk behind them?

This fall, create a menu to remember by incorporating fresh, seasonal flavors into the traditional, comforting dishes of the season. As the air becomes crisp and the sun sets a little earlier each day, it's the ideal time to warm up your kitchen while experimenting with fresh ingredients. Plus, matching each dish with a corresponding wine is a simple technique for enhancing the flavors in the food and wine.
Kids love to snack. But left to their own devices, most kids don't always make the healthiest snack choices.
Fall brings a whole new set of flavors to the table, and that's reason enough to celebrate with friends.
Are you planning to sneak off for one last camping or backwoods-hiking trip to mark the end of summer? I know I look forward to hanging with family, friends and new flavors during our annual camping trip to Rock Creek. The group campsite has to be reserved one year in advance.
When PB&J sandwiches just don't make the grade anymore, it's time to think outside the loaf. Nationally recognized nutritionist Elizabeth Somer and Mission Foods have created some nutritious and affordable school recipes that put some fun - and flavor - back into the lunchbox.

Most parents face the same mealtime dilemma - making affordable and convenient food that the whole family will like. Time is short, palates are picky and some fear it will cost too much to put real food on the table.
Bananas aren't just for breakfast or lunch anymore. By grilling this popular fruit, you can add a whole new flavor dimension to a dinner-time recipe and turn a basic dessert into something wow.
Warm weather is here, and there is no better time for a picnic at your local park or beach. Quick and simple recipes are the way to go, but the typical bologna sandwich doesn't always stimulate the taste buds. This season, experiment with new recipes and flavors, and make your casual alfresco dining experience extra special.
Maybe it was the thought of an orange hibiscus scone billowing with Devonshire cream or the opportunity to create savory tea sandwiches that inspired me to cater Jenni Blount's bridal shower. Or it could have been the excuse to make eye-catching, mouth-watering berry good truffles, or simply that the maid-of-honor, my daughter, lives in Texas and couldn't make the shower.
This Fourth of July, get the kids involved in decorating the yard for a red, white and true blue backyard party.

Australia is certainly not lacking when it comes to popular tourist destinations. Whether it's exploring the Great Barrier Reef, enjoying the city life in Sydney or roughing it in the Outback, The Land Down Under has plenty to do. However, at the recent Qantas Australian Tourism Awards, experts cited Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park as the top destination of them all.
Located in Australia's Northern Territory, the famous national park is situated almost square in the middle of the country. The park's remote location has not deterred hundreds of thousands of visitors to make the journey, and thanks to its unrivaled natural beauty it's easy to see why. The most recognizable landmark on the grounds is Uluru, an enormous sandstone monolith that stands more than 1,140 feet tall.
The national park was not the only tourist destination in Australia to be honored at the awards, however. The Maria Island Walk in Tasmania was named as the best adventure travel spot largely because of its impressive biodiversity and picturesque landscape. Other winners include the Venture North Australia for best Heritage and Cultural Tourism and the 2012 Tamworth Country Music Festival in New South Wales as the Best Major Festival.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in action earlier today (April 6, 2013) with UFC on FUEL TV 9: "Mousasi vs. Latifi," emanating from the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.
Kicking off the televised portion of the show was a featherweight fracas pitting former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 14 contestant Akira Corassani against "Problems" child Robbie Peralta.
The only problem either fighter had was finishing the fight.
It wasn't from lack of opportunity, either. Peralta had his opponent on queer street in the latter half of the second stanza, but charged in a bit too aggressively and allowed Corassani to tie him up and find his sea legs. That's when the former TUF guy was able to land one right behind the ear.
Peralta stumbling around was like "walking on a waterbed," according to cageside commentator Kenny Florian.
The third round mirrored the first in that both fighters were throwing heavy leather; however, Corassani also mixed in a few takedowns to convince the judges (unanimously) that he was the better man on fight night. In doing so, he locks up his second straight win while snapping Peralta's 10-fight unbeaten streak.
That's the way the Swedish cookie crumbles.

I have 10 grand+ in my bank account and Im currently planning on spending it on college. I have enough to finish my undergraduate degree but I will be broke when i graduate (and have to work instead of go to law school). My CD matures in august and I am considering closing the CD altogether to make investments. What are the best ways to invest 10gs at my age? I am an economics major so I have a modest background in money and finance. I used to play with the stock market when I first got my money but lost 5gs+, so I am looking for other forms of investment...

im in the same boat, iv read through the majority of the forex thread and gone through some of babypips and most of currency for dummies but after signing up for an demo account it seems it is even more complicated and confusing then when i stated
10000 investment
If you have 5-7 years to let grow look for a stock that you you know is going to bounce back, to where it was 3-4 years ago before the crash
You can go for something like Bank America that you know is going to be worth $25-$30 a share in 5 years or so
Or a lower price stock like fannie may or wamu that has higher reward but also a higher risk
Also if your interested i do media buys that can be quite profitable but there is also some risk involved. If your interested shoot me a pm, and Good luck

Mathew 7:7-11
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Is there anyone among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you then, although you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!"

Elmo Voice, Puppeteer Kevin Clash Accused of Sex with 16-Year-Old Boy
Kevin Clash Takes Leave from 'Sesame Street' Following Allegations
This one is hard to believe (and, boy, are we hoping it's not true), but the voice and puppeteer of Elmo, Kevin Clash, is facing allegations of a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy.
Amid news of the allegations, Clash has taken a leave of absence from Sesame Street.
TMZ.com reports that Clash is accused of having an "inappropriate relationship" with a man who is now 23-years-old. The relationship reportedly has been going on for seven years.
Clash, of course, denies the allegations, and TMZ reports, "Sesame Workshop lawyers recently met with a 23-year-old man who claims he and Clash began a sexual relationship 7 years ago ... when he was 16 and Clash was 45."
The site adds, "Clash has acknowledged to TMZ he had a relationship with the young man -- but insists it only took place AFTER the accuser was an adult."
Sesame Workshop released this statement to TMZ: "In June of this year, Sesame Workshop received a communication from a young man who alleged that he had a relationship with Kevin Clash beginning when he was 16-years-old. This was a personal relationship, unrelated to the workplace. We took the allegation very seriously and took immediate action."
Their officials have met with the accuser twice and communicated with the man otherwise, but he felt that they were "trying to muzzle him," TMZ reports, and he has assembled a legal team.
The lawyers of Andreozzi and Associates wrote a letter to Sesame Workshop, accusing them of trying to "discredit the victim in order to protect its employee and the image of one of its most valuable characters," adding, "This approach places a greater value on a puppet than the well being of a young man."
Sesame Workshop's officials did conduct an investigation and "determined the allegation of underage sex was unsubstantiated," TMZ.com reports.
According to Sesame Workshop officials, they tell TMZ, "Kevin insists that these allegations are false and defamatory and he has taken actions to protect his reputation. We have granted him a leave of absence to do so."
Clash tells TMZ, "I had a relationship with [the accuser]. It was between two consenting adults and I am deeply saddened that he is trying to make it into something it was not."
So, wow. Are the claims true? Will this be the end of Clash's career at Sesame Street?

Learn more about the hottest new diets today!
VB6 (Vegan Before 6pm)
Six years ago, an overweight, pre-diabetic Mark Bittman faced a medical directive: adopt a vegan diet or go on medication. As one whose professional and leisure time revolved around cooking, eating, and enjoying a wide variety of fine foods, neither choice was appealing, yet it was clear something had to give. His solution? Shift the focus of his diet to vegetables, fruits, and grains, following a strict vegan diet (no meat or dairy) and eliminating processed foods for most of the day, then eat the foods he simply couldn't give up forever only after 6 p.m. — and (mostly) in moderation.
Beyond that, his eating plan involved no gimmicks, scales, calorie-counting, or point systems—and there were no so-called forbidden foods. Just wholesome, all-natural, mostly home-cooked meals that were as varied and satisfying as they were delicious. The results of this dietary recalibration were swift and impressive. Best of all, they proved to be lasting and sustainable over the long-haul. Click here to learn more about VB6.

The Fast Diet
Is it possible to eat normally, five days a week, and become slimmer and healthier as a result?
Simple answer: yes. You just limit your calorie intake for two nonconsecutive days each week — 500 calories for women, 600 for men. You'll lose weight quickly and effortlessly with the FastDiet.
Scientific trials of intermittent fasters have shown that it will not only help the pounds fly off, but also reduce your risk of a range of diseases from diabetes to cardiovascular disease and even cancer. "The scientific evidence is strong that intermittent fasting can improve health," says Dr. Mark Mattson, Chief of the Laboratory of Neurosciences, National Institute on Aging, and Professor of Neuroscience, Johns Hopkins University.
Far from being just another fad, the FastDiet is a radical new way of thinking about food, a lifestyle choice that could transform your health. Click here to learn more about The Fast Diet.

Filibuster: Mark Udall, Mike Bennet for Chicago-style corrupt government
Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), the incompetent and extremely partisan majority leader, will try next month to eliminate or sharply curtail the power of the minority Republicans to filibuster against bills and presidential appointees.
Colorado Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet are all for this power grab, which would allow the majority Democrats to pass bills with 51 instead of 60 votes. As long as the GOP controlled the House as it does now, nothing passed by the Democrats in the Senate and opposed by the House Republican majority would be enacted. But if Democrats or Republicans get control of both houses and the White House, party discipline would allow the majority party the power to totally change the country's laws on behalf of their favored few campaign contributors.
As Coloradans have seen when we've had one-party GOP or Democratic rule, bad, corrupt things happen fast. And that's what we face in 2013 and 2014 with Democrats in charge of the state Senate and House and governor's mansion.
It takes extremists like Udall and Bennet to back Reid's grab for power. They are showing a total disrespect for Republican and independent voters in Colorado, not just in the U.S. Senate. America's political history of compromise in Washington means nothing to them.
They want Washington to operate like Chicago, New York, California and Illinois. In Chicago and those states, Big Government breeds corruption, and single-party rule makes corruption accpetable.
That's where Udall and Bennet are. Can Colorado Republicans do anything about it in future elections? Given the fact that the Colorado GOP is ruled by Rick Santorum, Bill Armstrong, Bob Schaffer and Ken Buck Republicans, I doubt it.

Texas - As the Summer wildfire season nears, state officials are asking for more resources to help them prepare.
To help the Texas A&M Forest Service handle massive wildfires within the next few months, the agency is pushing for more funding.
They're asking the state for $27.2 million, which would go toward hiring nearly 90 firefighters across the state and buying equipment.
The agency is also hoping the $32.6 million in grant money that was cut in 2011 will be restored.
That money would help train, equip and insure volunteer fire departments in Texas.
Most of the Texas panhandle is currently at a high risk for fire danger and 20 counties still have an established burn ban.
So far this year, about 157,000 acres have burned across the state.
The severity of the Summer wildfire season will largely depend on rainfall over the next two months.
It typically begins in July and runs through mid-September.

Regina Petolla is ecstatic she's able to communicate with her son Matthew.
"I love him. He's very challenging. But we have come a long way."
At the age of 2, Matthew was diagnosed with Autism. By four he finally spoke his first words.
Now at age eight.
"He's able to read. He's able to socialize. He's actually playing," said his mother.
Petolla says she owes her son's progress to the "Educational Services Unit of the Burlington County Special Services School District.
The problem is Superintendent Dr. Donald Lucas says funding issues are forcing him to cut the shared program used by dozens of school districts in the county.
"To take this away is disgusting," said one upset parent during Thursday nights meeting regarding the program.
Parent after parent pleaded with the special services school board to reverse their decision to shutter the program - 150 kids with autism would be affected. Ninety-three therapists would lose their jobs.
Therapists at the meeting say they're concerned about the lack of Autism specific training the kids will get and the consistency they say children with Autism so desperately need.
"Any change in environment can greatly affect behavior and make them upset," explained Colleen Qinn.
After returning from executive session, a change of heart from board members. The program will still be shut down.
But after listening to the passionate parents, the superintendent is pushing back the program's closing date two months to September 1.
"This will be a financial issue for us again, but the boards willing to extend that so those services will go smoothly," explained Superintendent Lucas.
Parents say it's the quality of service they're concerned about. They plan to fight the extension, hoping they can get a year to transition to the privatized Autism program.

Is it possible (like on the 3220) to access the Mifare Memory thru the Java Card?
Is it possible (like on the 3220) to access the Mifare Memory thru the Java Card?
Last edited by geri-m; 2007-04-11 at 23:48.
Yes I think but not tested yet. Maybe you can try with JetZ API.
Modifying it to work with 6131 does not need much work.
ExtSystem's sReadWriteMifare() method works similar to JCOP's method. Only difference is the first parameter defining what the method should do (read ExtSystem.MIFARE_PASSWORD_READ and write ExtSystem.MIFARE_PASSWORD_WRITE).
Okay, but where do I get the ExtSystem Library? It is neighter part of JCOP nor part of JetZ ...
Sorry I don't know the answer to this question.Originally Posted by geri-m
But I am interested to know:
what is the advantage / disadvantage of between 'Java Card Applet Access' and 'MIDlet Access' to Internal Mifare Memory.
Could you give an Use Case to visualize both access ways?
Best regards.
Actually the answer ist quite simple: I don't want to have my keys for mifare access stored in J2ME Appliction. With the right efford an attacker could aquire the keys from the memory or by decompiling the Application Code and the "security" for my application would be gone. (I do need Mifare as I don't want to change my existing reader infrastructure ...)
If I do have the keys in the JCOP Applet nobody would ever be able to get them. Additionally I could use AES/DES for encrypting data and save it encrypted in the Mifare Element. The seperation of data and code by splitting an application into JCOP and Mifare (if necessary) would be a good solution for me.
Yes I see the advantages, thank you.
The Applet solution has the personal key and DES/AES crypto functions available in internal smartcard whereas MIDlet solution has the key in Phone and need additional crypto libraries like SATSA or third party libs.
Splitting code and data:
Are not the same in both access ways? Code in Applet or MIDlet, data is in Mifare Memory?
ad SATSA) Actually it would make sense if "new" mobile devices would use the cipher algorithms of a smartcard/SIM Card/Secure element in order to provide "good" protection against attackers. Everything running on host controller or in the memory of the device can/could be traced therefore is not secure. Actually the SATSA also provides a package for communication with a smartcard using RMI or APDUs thus if the SATSA is fully available on a device, it would make sense to make use of the smartcard for the "critical" code.
ad Splitting Code & Data) My current view for an NFC application is the following:
- the GUI is implementend in J2ME (or Symbian or PCC)
- the controller/application logic (as much as possible) is implemented on the Java Card/Secure Element
- the Memory of the MIfare Element is used for storing data (for backward compatibility)
This makes me less plattform dependend when moving applications to a different device, as long as it features a Java Card. Actually this is the problem with the 6131. The "standard" JetZ Engine is not available on the JavaCard as the Operating Systems is not from IBM but from G&D (Venyon) => plattfrom matters in this case.
I'm currently looking a bit further, as I'm working also with Java Card SIM cards too, where I can implement the GUI on the SIM using SAT. There I don't even need the J2ME at all for a GUI.
But you are right too: J2ME application - Mifare Data would have a similar (in my view less secure, less plattform independed) impact.
This is exactly what a NFC application should look like. Especially for mobile payment or ticketing application.Originally Posted by geri-m
Is it SmartCafe OS ? JetZ API should work with a some small modif. Someone from Nokia can confirm ? What exactly are the changes ?Originally Posted by geri-m
Did not know about that, do you know where we can buy those Java SIM Card ?Originally Posted by geri-m
Actually SmartCafe is an IDE (450 EUR) -- I just want to have the ExtSystem lib and use Eclipse. Is it possobile to download it/obtain it somewhere?Originally Posted by tdelazzari
We do have a deal with vodafone group They bought the card for us from Gemalto and did the personalization. The "problem" is, that you need the keys for the cards and on the other hand a card that is working in the network of the MNO.Originally Posted by tdelazzari
Btw: is there somebody around with a Sagem my700X that would be kind the answer some questions?
Did you find the ExtSystem lib ? Is it included in the SmartCafe toolkit ? Do you know where to buy this toolkit ?
ExtSystem is just a package name, I'll try with a modified JetZ API.

'Fantastic' SafeBet campaign praised in Parliament
Updated 6:18am Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By Mike Murphy-Pyle, Chief Reporter
Our "fantastic" SafeBet campaign to improve safety conditions for betting shop workers has been raised in Parliament.
Chris Evans MP, who represents a constituency in Wales and is a former betting shop worker, raised SafeBet during a Westminster Hall debate into the practice of allowing betting shops to operate with just one member of staff.
A judge called problem gambler Shafique Aarij a "cool, calm and collected" killer
We launched the SafeBet campaign last year after the murder of Cheam father of three Andrew Iacovou as he worked at a bookmaker in Morden.
Mr Iacovou was alone in the shop when killer Shafique Aarij bludgeoned him over the head with a hammer in a bungled robbery in May last year. Aarij was jailed for life in November.
The SafeBet campaign was launched to make sure something positive can come from Mr Iacovou's death and we are calling on the betting industry to improve conditions for its workers.
SafeBet has been backed by Mr Iacovou's widow Anita as well as local MPs Paul Burstow and Tom Brake.
Mr Brake raised the issue with Islwyn Labour MP Mr Evans who raised it in front of Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Helen Grant during a debate last week.
He said: "I left the betting industry some 14 years ago and had assumed that the practice of single staffing had ended.
"I was therefore shocked to learn that it is still going on, which I why called for this debate.
"Over the past few weeks and months, I have read about an increasing number of cases where betting shop workers have been attacked, assaulted and tragically even murdered.
"There are also some fantastic campaigns that are working to draw attention to the problems caused by lone working.
"The Sutton Guardian recently launched its SafeBet campaign to fight for safer conditions for betting shop workers.
"Campaigns such as that are extremely important if we are to get the betting industry to respond positively to the problems."
He said he wanted the betting industry to come up with a self-regulation programme to make sure workers are not placed at risk.
The call was backed by Mrs Grant who said: "I expect all bookmakers to properly assess the appropriateness of single staffing as part of their business operations."
The aim of a Westminster Hall debate is to raise awareness of an issue before it can be raised in the House of Commons.
Mr Brake is planning to call betting shop bosses to a meeting to discuss staff safety in the House of Commons.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Eight hyperlocal community media projects from across the United States have been selected as this year's New Voices grant winners. Each will receive up to $25,000 in start-up funding over the next two years.
The winners were selected from 304 applicants, J-Lab: The Institute for Interactive Journalism announced today. With this year's projects, a total of 48 community news start-ups have been funded from 1,249 entries since 2005.
The 2009 winners proposed frequently updated and robust sites generated by a diverse mix of content contributors. All the projects focus on geographic communities. Most will operate under the auspices of journalism professionals.
"Particularly notable among this year's winners is a deep understanding of what it will take to launch a hyperlocal site and regularly refresh content. They also had great familiarity with digital media tools," said Jan Schaffer, director of J-Lab, which administers the New Voices program at American University's School of Communication.
The awards were increased this year so that grant winners will receive $17,000 in the first year to launch their projects and $8,000 in matching support in the second year. The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation funds the New Voices program.
"What we can learn from the 48 New Voices community news experiments is all the more important in light of newspaper closings across the country," said Gary Kebbel, Knight's journalism program officer.
Added Bruce Koon, News Director of KQED radio and a New Voices Advisory Board member: "With all the anxiety about the future of journalism and news outlets, these projects are a breath of fresh air because of their creativity and commitment to serving communities. They're providing valuable lessons for the future."
