text: Fisher-Mill Plain — Two Union High School freshmen impressed people with their scientific minds at the White House Science Fair, hosted by President Barack Obama this past month. Sydney Wallace, 13, and Austin Jang, 14, traveled in late April to Washington, D.C., to join nearly 100 other young scientists, mathematicians and engineers who were invited from across the country. Last year, Wallace and Jang were on Shahala Middle School's championship Science Bowl team, which they represented at the White House. Wallace's award-winning, lithium-ion-powered model car — dubbed "Danger Kitty" — was also exhibited at the April 22 fair. "When students excel in math and science, they help America compete for the jobs and industries of the future," Obama said in a press release.

Thank you for posting this puzzle.
tricky tricky
Nice Checkmate!
wow, great mate
Fantastic checkmate.
Bishop to F7
O/k-ish up to the third move (although I first tried moving the knight to f4) & then had to stare at this position for some time before the solution came to me - brilliant !
Enormous admiration for any player who can pull that off
But who on earth was Perlaska ?? There's no entry in Chessgames for either player & I drew a blank on Google - but I did find this...
So now the irrelevant & inane comments of the 'first-pagers' are leaking out into the wider world - It's depressing !
I can't say I've seen anything more than first page,like annayzing puzzle,or if you did'nt,that's the goal thier trying to reach,posting on first page,I do not get it,I live 50 mile's from Boston so I'm on eastern standard time,the puzzle ussualy get's posted around 3:00 AM,for me,I get up at about 4:00AM every day, I'm lucky to post on third page,anyone east of me in USA has there time later than me,so if it's 3:00 AM here it's 12:00 AM in california,so it's possible some people are up at that time,but from here to California there are three time zone's,so I would say those people are not up when puzzle get's posted.so all these people are at a place where 3:00 AM is a normal time zone for them,some where on the other side of the world.Let them post whatever they want,but don't act like you did something even remotely close to chess
got it
wow i got that one on the first try cool
That was awesome!
Really nice!!

McCollum shrugs off GOP opponent Dockeryby Dara Kam | November 3rd, 2009
Attorney General Bill McCollum brushed off Sen. Paula Dockery's entree into the race for governor, saying he's focused on the general election.
Dockery will officially join the race this afternoon when she files her papers in Tallahassee, creating a GOP primary race next year.
That's good news for Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, the presumptive Democratic candidate who as yet doesn't face a serious challenger.
But it's bad news for McCollum, who has trailed Sink in raising campaign cash for two quarters in a row.
McCollum this morning shrugged off Dockery's decision.
It was expected, he said.
"I'm not surprised. I respect Paula and she certainly has a right to run," McCollum said.
"My focus, however, is on Alex Sink. That is the race that we're already engaged in," he went on.
McCollum stuck to his position when asked how concerned he is about a GOP primary.
"My focus is on Alex Sink. My focus is on the Democrat opponent," he said.

does anybody else have that friend that you're pretty sure is your soulmate but in a friend way
I think, for some inherited reason, my heart-mind-body-soul's energy seeks out those whom have closed perspectives & institutionalized ignorance..
My energy searches for these people & tries to love them out of the blindness.
Renelle (Shë the Pretender) // please, find it inside yourself to resist the urge of thinking I'm out here to judge you. help me love better so that I may help you see better.. (via iamup2n0good)
At some point in your life you will lose someone you love. Sometimes loving that someone means letting go, and love doesn't have to die just because the relationship has died. Sometimes, letting go isn't the end of the world, but the beginning of a new one. Cherish the memories, for they are all that's left.
Daily Tumblr Love Quotes (via thelovewhisperer)
i feel like if more people said
"i want companionship"
rather than
"i want a relationship"
they would end up more fulfilled
because relationships are a dime a dozen
but to find a companion
someone that compliments you and makes life experiences more enjoyable
having that as a goal would likely lead to something more enriching
than a title, or someone to call "mine"

Today it is exactly two years since the weirdest Valentine's Day I have ever experienced, or indeed hope ever to experience again.
February 14, 2011, in short, is etched into my diary and my brain as the day when I was diagnosed – out of the blue – with pancreatic cancer.
They say one should always be grateful for what one has. Accordingly, the appropriate emotion ought perhaps to have been a feeling that I was incredibly and wonderfully lucky, because I was not dead. After all, St. Valentine died on the the 14th of February, on the Via Flaminia in the north of Rome. Hence Valentine's Day. Whereas there was I, alive and well, being told by a doctor in Sarajevo's famous Koševo Hospital – a huge complex of buildings on a hill in north Sarajevo – that a malignant tumor on the head of my pancreas was what had caused me to turn, from head to toe, yellow.
Many people, so late are they diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, are dead within three months: my good fortune (for that is truly what it was) was to be told something on Valentine's Day that, had I not found it out till Christmas Day, might have had a very different outcome.
I have written briefly elsewhere about how very soon afterwards I was wheeled in to an OR at the Copenhagen University Hospital for Whipple surgery, the radical procedure in which, as one fellow pancreatic survivor recently expressed it, "Everything around the pancreas that can be removed, cut, whacked, chopped, is." That operation, simply put, saved my life. It involved the removal of parts of four organs and the reconstruction of my digestive tract and was followed up by chemotherapy that lasted seven looooooong months.
But two years on, here I am. I have out-lived Steve Jobs, may he rest in peace, who had the exact same surgery – though the pathology of his pancreatic cancer was somewhat different.
Unlike Jobs, but in common with Patrick Swayze, Joan Crawford, Margaret Mead and Luciano Pavarotti, who all sadly lost their lives to it, my Valentine's Day diagnosis was that I was suffering from the more common form of pancreatic cancer called adenocarcinoma. The bad news about exocrine tumors like pancreatic adenocarcinoma is that they tend to be more aggressive than neuroendocrine tumors, the kind that Jobs had. The good news though is that if caught early enough they can be treated effectively with surgery. In other words, they can be resected, cut out. "All" that the patient needs is the good fortune to be diagnosed before the cancer has spread beyond such organs as can safely be resected.
I had just such good fortune, and the rest is history – as is half of my pancreas, all of my gall bladder, all of my duodenum (the first section of the small intestine), a goodly portion of my common bile duct, and the distal or lowest third of my stomach.
Since the overall five-year survival rate for pancreatic adenocarcinoma is less than 5%, being one of the lucky few who can have it operated into oblivion is an incredible gift. Whipple surgery is reckoned, by the Copenhagen University Hospital (
After the Whipple surgery, being told that your tumor has been successfully removed, and that all of the many surrounding lymph nodes also removed during the operation have tested negative for any spread of cancer, is a deeply uplifting experience. Having to undergo the physically brutal elective self-poisoning we call chemotherapy was somewhat less uplifting, but "belt and suspenders" was the approach of my team of Danish oncologists. With four children, a wife, two cats and a dog, why run the risk of the surgeons having missed a few sub-microsocopic cancer cells?
Cytotoxins are nothing if not effective: besides, "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" – right?
That is all I am willing to say about chemotherapy. Fast forward thirteen months beyond the end of that chemo, and you get to today. Pancreatic cancer survivors aren't especially numerous, for reasons that CNN spells out quite succinctly here, but that only makes it more important that we lucky ones speak out and, hopefully, embolden others to do the same.
As well as saving it, Whipple surgery also changes your life, since is rearranges your innards in ways that boggle the mind when you see it spelt out in words. Digestion of entire meals is no longer an option, but a world of snacks is better than no world at all. Because my pancreas was my digestive system's main enzyme-producing organ, my aim in "Year Three" must be once and for all to master the nutritional and digestive complications of no longer having sufficient enzymes. I've not quite figured it out, not yet.
This two-year milestone seems as good a time as any to share one or two images – do please let me know if you think it's true what they say about a picture being worth a thousand words.

In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

Every healthy ecosystem is diverse. This is especially true in cloud ecosystems, where portability and interoperability are more important than old enterprise models of proprietary ownership. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mark Baker, Server Product Manager at Canonical/Ubuntu, will discuss how single vendors used to take the lead in creating and delivering technology, but in a cloud economy, where users want tools of their preference, when and where they need them, it makes no sense.

My fiancée (Japanese) and I (Canadian) are in the midst of trying to figure out the pros and cons of changing her surname to mine upon registering our marriage. She seems set on taking my name, but of all the married male friends I have here in Japan not one of them has a wife who has taken his surname. I was wondering if there are difficulties that may be encountered by a Japanese woman were she to take a foreigner's surname. Has anyone in this forum had any similar experience with our dilemma? We'd love to hear your comments on this one....

Re: should my fiancee change her name?
MY wife changed her name to my family name, no problem, she uses her maiden name when she wants to. Some of her friends call her by her maiden name. Not a problem.
At work no problem either.
some have problems and some dont..
Luck of the draw...
Re: should my fiancee change her name?
After marriage, you have 6 months to change your name.
Like most other countries, it also involves changing names on drivers' licenses, credit cards, etc. Some people just don't like doing that.
For women in Japan, it might look bad at work, depending on circumstances. Some women like to hide their marriage, even to other Japanese, because the boss might expect you will be having babies and will ask you to leave.
If she DOESN'T change her name, I think any of your kids are listed on her family register in HER family name. Not sure about that, though.
For what it's worth, several of my male foreign friends and I have Japanese wives, and they have ALL taken the husband's name.

Re: should my fiancee change her name?
change shouldnt be an issue.. this is the begining of a new family.. some women may be a bit against it. reasons may be many, such as life if divorced. having a foreign last name as a divorced person in Japan can be a minus for some.. discrimination can be an issue.. but off course they can get their madien name back.. but it is a hassle to do that... in any rate.. married means life together till death.. just never forget that....PEACE!!
Re: should my fiancee change her name?
Ya, and Frungy does a mean Hamburglar impression, too.
Check out the registered alias threads on this site. Lots of good info. It obviates the need to change names legally. Very useful.
They are under the Legal section. Be happy

Why Bother? A Moral Choice for Young ArtistsIn the wake of some truly disgusting activity in the gaming industry right now, I've been grappling with a moral dilemma concerning what I would recommend young artists do with their chosen career paths.Phil Fish HackedPhil Fish, the creator of FEZ, is pretty much universally hated by people online. Recently he spoke out in favor of Zoe Quinn, creator of Depression Quest, who was herself under fire from internet thought police for "corrupting" games journalism's integrity by sleeping with journalists to get favorable reviews of her game (allegations which later proved to be untrue). Because he spoke out in favor of Zoe Quinn, Phil found himself under a massive internet attack, wherein hackers compromised his SSI, passwords, Polytron's PayPal account, and other sensitive data.In the wake of the attack, Phil Fish is now selling off the rights to FEZ and to Polytron. He left with this rather depressing twitter message: "I

A seventh Element...?From the FiM wiki:Shining Armor is listed as possessing a seventh Element of Harmony, Love, in the 2012 My Little Pony trading cards. Princess Cadance is also listed as possessing this element....can someone tell me why the hell was I not informed of this beforehand...? o_oGah. This is what I get for procrastinating and playing Skyrim too much over the summer... If it wasn't for it, I would've finished "HS" by now. Damnit.Well, this certainly throws a wrench in my way, as I feared it would when the season 2 finale was about to air. But at the same time, it also puts things in a new and interesting perspective.There are now seven Elements of Harmony, with the final one being Love. Makes sense being the final one 'cause without it, well, the world wouldn't be the way it is today...nor would the other Elements even work. Hmm...This definitely is a sudden twist...but with there being seven of them, it also makes the possibility of a canonical Super transformation much more lik

play calling by quarter
Last season, 2,893 plays were run in the fourth quarter with the offensive team trailing by at least two possessions. A pass was called on 84 percent of those plays. Conversely, 1,816 plays were run in the final frame when the offense was up by two or more possessions. Teams called pass 30 percent of the time on those plays. The above is an extreme example of the importance of considering game situation when evaluating a team's play-calling.

Elliott, Michael R., A. Resler, C.A. Flannagan, and J.D. Rupp. 2010. "Appropriate analysis of CIREN data: Using NASS-CDS to reduce bias in estimation of injury risk factors in passenger vehicle crashes." Accident Analysis and Prevention, 42(2): 530-539.
The Crash Injury Research Engineering Network (CIREN) database contains detailed medical and crash information on a large number of severely injured occupants in motor vehicle crashes. CIREN's major limitation for stand-alone analyses to explore injury risk factors is that control subjects without a given injury type must have another severe injury to be included in the database. This leads to bias toward the null in the estimation of risk associations. One method to cope with this limitation is to obtain information about occupants without a given injury type from the National Automotive Sampling System's Crashworthiness Data System (NASS-CDS), which is a probability sample of towaway crashes, containing similar crash information, but less medical detail. Combining CIREN and NASS-CDS in this manner takes advantage of the increased sample size when outcomes are available in both datasets; otherwise NASS-CDS can serve as a sample of controls to be combined with CIREN cases, possibly under a sensitivity analysis that includes and excludes NASS-CDS subjects whose status as a control is uncertain. Because CIREN is not a probability sample of crashes that meet its inclusion criteria, we develop a method to estimate the probability of selection for the CIREN cases using data from NASS-CDS. These estimated probabilities are then used to compute "pseudo-weights" for the CIREN cases. These pseudo-weights not only allow for reduced bias in the estimation of risk associations, they allow direct prevalence estimates to be made using medical outcome data available only in CIREN. We illustrate the use of these methods with both simulation studies and application to estimation of prevalence and predictors of AIS 3+ injury risk to head, thorax, and lower extremity regions, as well as prevalence and predictors of acetabular pelvic fractures. Results of these analyses demonstrate combining NASS and CIREN data can yield improvements in mean square error and nominal confidence interval coverage over analyses that use either the NASS-CDS or the CIREN sample alone.

Teachers halt student shooting rampage in California
A law enforcement officer stands guard in front of Taft Union High School in Kern County, Calif., on Thursday. (Irfan Khan/Los Angeles Times/MCT)
The shooting comes less than four weeks after a December rampage at a Connecticut elementary school where a gunman killed 20 children and six adults in an attack that shocked the nation and has fueled a heated national debate over gun control.
The latest shooting unfolded Thursday morning at Taft Union High School in the Kern County town of Taft, about 30 miles southwest of Bakersfield and about 100 miles (161 km) north of downtown Los Angeles
One student critically wounded by gunfire was airlifted to a nearby hospital, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said.
A second student received minor injuries while falling over a table trying the flee the classroom, and a third student was taken to a hospital complaining of hearing loss from the sound of a gun blast, Youngblood said.
The lone suspect, a 16-year-old male student, was arrested after a teacher and a school administrator who confronted him persuaded the boy to put his gun down, Youngblood told a televised news conference.
His identity was not immediately released, but police said the suspect apparently had a disagreement with the student who was critically injured.
Sheriff's deputies called to the scene went room-by-room to secure the school, and television news images showed students lined up on the sidewalk outside the school, with parents stopped in cars to pick them up.

Every blog post, has a big image at the top. Can this be configured to a smaller image, on the left, starting with the text? Or can it be removed at all?
Sure, send me an email.
Well i got an E-Mail from you that you will contact me but nothing else so far. Can you drop me a line?
My apologies, it's been hectic. Can you try re-sending your request and I will have a look.
Nice theme… I am considering purchasing and have a question. Can I customize the contact form (adding or removing fields)? If so, how do I do it and can it be done without writing code?
The contact form can be edited through the html contact.php page.
I've not added any item, but I doubt it would be too difficult.
Unpacking the package…
Installing the theme…
The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.
Theme install failed.
Im getting this error.
Make sure to install just theme itself. Not the folder which contains the documentation, licenses, etc.
You will receive an error if you don't install just the theme
Please, take a look on your template in IE8 . There are problems with social icons menu.
Thanks, I will have a look.
Hello, My client has an issue with the Lulu theme where his slider caption is cut short by 6 words. Where can I modify the restriction on the number of characters? Thanks in advance, Cecile
Can you send me a link so I can see where you're referring? Thanks
Is there a way to add a Custom.CSS to Appearance > Editor? What is the way you recommend to add custom CSS to override some elements?
thanks! Gavin
I'm having an issue when it comes to using the custom meta boxes below the WYSIWYG editor. When I paste a Youtube URL into the box it works fine and displays the video.
However when I use any of the image boxes the images will not show. I then have to use the featured image option to show an image.
Any ideas please?
Thanks Tyler
Also I meant to add to my above post, how do I use the shortcodes for buttons to link to a website?
Thanks Tyler
Hi, Great theme. Is there a way to make it so the sidebars are below the content instead of above the main page content when viewing on a mobile device. Ideally, I would like the page to go Header > Nav > Page Content > Sidebar > Footer (instead of Header > Nav > Sidebar > Page Content > Footer). Is there any way to switch this order? Also could you please tell me the most current version of the theme?
Yes, this is possible, though it may require some editing in the style.css. Feel free to send me an email
First of all great theme!
I just have one question for now (probably some more once I get my teeth into it some more though!).
Is it possible to add a 'sign up for newsletters' etc box up at the very top (beside the social icons in the dark tiled area)..?
Or in the heading area (with the logo and 2nd menu).
It would just need to be a single line info then box.
My client is very insistent on having one of these boxes near the top of the website, and not further down the page.
Thank you so much in advance for your response.
Yes, it's possible. Shoot me an email and I will help out
Hi there Siiimple
I like Lulu and the shortcodes, but how do I make a button a link…
This doesn't work, but what does: url="http://www.mysite.com"]Button Text/button_link
Would love a quick answer.
Should look like this, without the spaces in brackets.
small_blue_button url="http://www.siiimple.com" Button Text / small_blue_button
Hi Siiimple,
hmm, this is what it looks like, when I try something like that… I tried with the first (left) of the black buttons:http://rhg.wpkdev.com/kompetencer/
And it doesn't link to http://rhg.wpkdev.com/kompetencer/vi-skaber-oplevelser-der-bygger-relationer-2/ like I wanted it to.
Do you have another short code?
HI I want to buy lulu, but I need first to make sure it works well with RTL (hebrew site), does it? need answer asap….
Thank you so much! Simcha
Honestly, I'm not sure. Sorry. Wish I could have a better answer for you
ok. so how can I try? there is a shareware kind of version, or shell I buy it and if it won't work you can kredit me imediatly by my visa? cou'se I love it!
great theme. Can you please tell me how to make a link on a main visual (slider). The image is not active link, only the text below is. Is there any way to make a custom link?
Thank you. Tomaz
It would require some small file editing to do so. I can help, just shoot me an email.
When I add more than too slides, they do not appear on home page. Only blank : www.faysalhafidi.com
Thanx for this great theme
I would like to link the slider title (on the homepage) to a specific page. otherwise we have to create double content for every segment if we want the sliders to be about the different pages on the site. (and have the image link as well if possible)
Can you help with that?
A page link can be added to the slider with some customization. Send me an email and I will see what I can do. Generally this is a added fee. Just let me know.
Hi, how I can translate this template?, I can't found .po files in lulu theme
Unfortunately, Lulu didn't provide a mo/po file. In a future update, it's in the works.
Thanks Justin
1) Is it possible to use more than just 3 Lulu Infos?
2) How do I remove the client logo section as it is not required?
It's possible. If you could setup a ticket here: http://siiimple.ticksy.com/
Hey, I submitted a ticket recently, how long does it usually take for a reply?
Should have been answered. What's your name? I can do a search to make sure.
Hey Siimple, you responded, about a $20 fee because it wouldn't take a whole hour, my name is Adrian Balakumar, I'd like it done ASAP , so that I can start making changes.
Just shoot me an email through my profile contact page

I gave the operator the benefit of the doubt that he'd had a "d'oh!" moment, and we continued talking about it for a few minutes. Then I realized that he truly didn't understand what had happened, so I backed up and explained to him that when he logged in remotely, what he was viewing was his monitor, not the remote monitor.
He believed that what he was seeing in front of him was what the remote operator was seeing a half mile away. With a remote connection, what he was seeing displayed was the remote PC video output -- and, of course, that looked fine on his monitor. However, the remote monitor was failing and, thus, didn't display the video output correctly.
It took a few explanations, but he finally got what I was saying, and I'd had another "colorful" experience in the world of IT.
I was reminded that just because someone works in IT does not mean they know IT. Even with years of experience, the operator could not differentiate between what he was seeing remotely and what the remote operator was telling him was wrong. We all have gaps in IT knowledge and skills and can learn from each other.
