Veterans remember horror of Battle of El Alamein
Veterans of the Battle of El Alamein have described the deaths of 4,000 Allied troops, as they marked the 70th anniversary of their first major World War against the Germans under the command of General Montgomery.
An evensong service at Westminster Abbey in London commemorated the seven decades since the battle in North Africa, which was said to be the turning point for the Allies in the Second World War.
About 40 British and Australian veterans, many of whom are now in their 90s and families of the fallen, were part of a 500-strong congregation to remember those who fought in the 14-day battle.
Watch this report from Lee Comley.
Major Freddie Salinger, 94, who served with the Royal Artillery Medium Regiment, was attacked by a dive bomb in which four men from his troop died. Speaking before the memorial service, Major Salinger said:
I think of them now with great sadness that they were cut off in their prime in their mid 20s.
It was not until about the 9th day (of battle) ... in the morning, the sun was shining, I looked up and saw some Stuka dive bombers. I didn't realise it but they were for us. I found out we had lost four, including a sergeant.
Major Frederick Hunn, who is 93 tomorrow on October 28, fought in the Battle of El Alamein with the Duchess of Cornwall's father, Major Bruce Shand, in the 12th Royal Lancers.
He talked about the retaliation ordered by Gen Montgomery on October 23 when nearly 1,000 guns pointed at the German positions were fired at once.
– Major Frederick Hunn
I'd been used to battle because I'd served at Dunkirk but I remember on the 23rd, at 9.40pm, every gun opened up.
The sky was bright from the guns. We were a mile away but could still hear the tremendous amount of noise.
I'd seen plenty of barrages but I'd never seen one like this before.
If they're great friends, as most of them in my regiment were ... when they are killed beside you, and you're a young chap at only 22, it's sad when you lose such young people.
Under the leadership of General Montgomery, nearly 200,000 British, Australian, New Zealand, South African, British Indian, Free French and Greek Forces defeated the Axis powers.
At the time of the battle, which started on October 23, 1942 and ended on November 4, the Allies were fighting to keep their crucial supply lines open from the Mediterranean to the East.
German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel had inflicted heavy defeats on Allied forces in Africa forcing them back to the village of El Alamein, about 60 miles west of Alexandria.
Eventually on October 23 General Montgomery ordered the retaliation with almost 900 guns levelled at the German positions to be discharged at once.
While previously the Suez Canal was threatened, and with it Allied access to the rich oilfields of the Middle East, now the Allies were able to press their advantage and eventually push the Germans and Italians from Africa.
Recalling the importance of the Allied victory at the Battle of El Alamein, which began on October 23, 1942 and ended on November 4, Sir Winston Churchill said:
Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat.

The 2012 election: Why abortion trumps other issues
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (BP) -- In 2008, a handful of notable pro-life evangelicals and Catholics threw their support behind a presidential candidate sworn to uphold elective abortion as a fundamental right.
"Of course abortion isn't the only issue -- any more than the treatment of slaves wasn't the only issue in the 1860s or the treatment of Jews the only issue in the 1940s. But both were the dominant issues of their day."
They argued that doing so constituted an enlightened pro-life vote that was morally superior to the narrow party politics of religious conservatives. Instead of passing laws against abortion, so the argument went, the candidate and his party would "reduce" it by addressing its underlying causes. True, they said, he was mistaken on abortion, but he was right on other, important "whole-of-life" issues such as opposition to war, concern for the poor and care for the environment.
The candidate's political strategy was simple: shrink the significance of abortion so it was more or less equal with other issues. It worked. Twice as many white evangelicals age 18 through 44 voted for Barack Obama in 2008 than voted for John Kerry in 2004. Catholics, meanwhile, supported Obama at 54 percent, up seven points from what they gave Kerry four years earlier. The candidate got just enough pro-life votes from these groups to tip the election his way.
I submit that each of these alleged pro-life votes represents a profound misunderstanding of the pro-life position. The fundamental issue before us is not merely how to reduce abortion, but who counts as one of us. How we answer will determine whether embryos and fetuses enjoy the protection of law or remain candidates for the dumpster. As Francis Beckwith points out, a society that has fewer abortions but protects the legal killing of unborn humans is still deeply immoral. Given what's at stake, it's vital that pro-life Christians persuasively answer five key questions before the 2012 election:
1. Are pro-life advocates focused too narrowly on abortion? After all, informed voters consider many issues, not just one.

London's M25 highway was voted number one in the BBC's "seven horrors of Britain." It is a 122-mile, 10-lane ring of smog heat, and angry motorists that encircles the city. It is the very essence of all that is wrong with urban sprawl. Hardly the stuff of ordinary literary exploration.
Iain Sinclair, however, is hardly your ordinary literary guide. Author, chronicler, narrative sociologist, political essayist, collector of all things Anglo, Sinclair sets out to circumnavigate the M25, not by car, the way in which it was intended to be circumnavigated, but by foot, all the while mapping the psychogeography of London and its surrounding environs.
In a series of daily treks, Sinclair, accompanied by a menagerie of companions, completes the M25 circuit on the eve of the millennium. But "London Orbital" is no guidebook. And with its incessant detours and constant diversions into the socio-political, architectural, or artistic implications of the terrain, it can hardly be called a travel narrative.
So, what is it?
Somewhere around South Mimms, Sinclair himself dubs the journey a fugue, "transient mental illness. Madness as a voyage." Psychological fugue. Characterized by a loss of awareness of self in combination with a flight from one's home. Sinclair revels in his mad fugue. "You didn't walk to forget, you walked to forget the walk." The payoff lay "in the heightened experience of present-tense actuality." In American: Zen and the Art of Walking around London.
Sinclair eschews the automobile out-of-hand. He is admittedly ignorant of a passing car's make or model: "I only do cars by their color." The consummate walker, he regards the drivers on the London Orbital with pity at best:
On the M25, fixed in their lanes, trying to make sense of flashing overhead signs and warnings, smoking, finger-drumming, jumping radio bands, jabbering into cellphones, the motorists are out of time, out of place
Tensed travelers, sweating in their metal pods, discover the insides of the outside. Nerves are stretched. Memories of the miles they've driven, to arrive at this compulsory stasis, melt into exhaust fumes.
Sinclair's own memories are carefully chronicled, detailed, archived. Each image carefully cross-referenced with his vast compendium of exquisitely arcane knowledge - ruminations on British civil engineering, literary references ranging from J.G. Ballard (who he visits on one of his tramps) to William Blake and back again to Michael Moorcock, the historical and architectural minutia of a Victorian-aged mental institution. "London Orbital" is so teeming and seething with Sinclair's breadth of Anglo-data that unless the reader is a longtime inhabitant of London, or at the very least British (or a devoted Anglophile), he can easily become mired in its vastness.

A mother of seven, with three disabled children, shops for sheets and says she isn't worried about the price. In a garage beside the Galesburg Christian Church, the front door sign reads "Free Store". Inside items like clothing, toys, sheets and jewelry are offered.
Church youth leader Rhonda Kane says she believes the store symbolizes her beliefs.
"We're really only doing what were asked to do we're asked to love god first our neighbor second and serve the world" says Kane.
As the youth group held garage sale fundraiser's, Kane says she wondered why the youth group didn't give stuff away for free.
"It's one of those visions god puts on your heart of course you have a little bit of doubt and whether its going to work or not going to work and I have a feeling he has even bigger plans than this" says Kane.
The Free store also offers furniture which is located at a warehouse in Erie, items all donated by a church member.
Rhonda's husband Dean helps delivers furniture directly to homes. He says it's a humbling experience.
At the garage -Kane drops the change she has into a glass bowl and says everything helps and although the garage is small, the message is big.
A biblical reminder on the wall says "suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them go in peace; keep warm and well fed but does nothing about their physical needs what good is it."
Living the store's mission statement the church has helped more than 100 people.

Crystals have been on my mind a lot the last week or two.
I was asked a fun question this week about the formation of snowflakes. This morning I see that the Cascades are socked in, hidden behind heavy clouds, and I'm beginning to think about snow again, as I look forward to ski season. Last Friday and the week before the Organic class was doing recrystallization in lab. I've got their reports on my desk, ready to grade. My introductory class has been learning about ions and ionic compounds, and the resulting crystals. Crystals are everywhere!
The question I was asked is about snowflake types, and whether there is a connection between snowflake type and the temperature where the snowflake forms.
I'm no expert on this stuff, and I doubt the situation is simple. I have browsed Barnes and Noble enough to know that there are field guides to weather, and that they include some neat stuff about snow, but I don't own one of these books and I haven't ever taken the time to dig very far into it. Experience tells me that cold and dry air leads to tiny and sparkly-perfect but tiny crystals (champagne powder), while wetter and warmer conditions can lead to big flakes.
I would guess that both temperature and humidity would have a dramatic effect on snow type. Other things like shearing from winds might also matter.
As I think about this now I'm trying to link the formation of snow crystals to what we see in the lab, in solutions --which may be importantly different!-- but to make big crystals in the lab we cool the solution slowly and don't disturb the flask while they form. This results in a situation where there is more opportunity for crystal growth and the nucleation events (which is when the crystals start forming) are more rare, so there are fewer, bigger crystals. If the solution is cooled rapidly, you get lots of nucleation and little chance for crystals to grow.
Wikipedia has a good and pretty technical page on snow, here.

H. H. Holmes: Master of Illusion
The Girls
Going on to Toronto, Geyer looked up real estate agents to find out if a man had rented a house for only a few days. "It took considerable time to impress each agent with the importance of making a careful search for us." He found a house that Holmes had rented, which was surrounded by a six-foot fence. The family residing there knew about some loose dirt under the house. They dug it up, firmly believing they would find one or more of the children. To raise the suspense, they kept working as it grew dark, but had to give up without finding anything. Geyer struck out there, as the renter turned out to have been a different man. Still, the intrepid detective felt certain the children had been killed somewhere in that town, so he persisted and found another rental that seemed suspicious. He went to check it out.
Geyer learned that a man with children at this place had asked for the loan of a spade to plant potatoes in the cellar and had brought only a bed, mattress and large trunk to the house. A woman identified Holmes from a photograph as the man who had rented the house. Geyer went there, discovered that the house had a dark cellar accessible via a trap door, and found an area of soft dirt on the floor. When he pushed a shovel into it, a stench arose and he knew he'd come to the right spot. His long, dark journey had produced what he'd both hoped for and had feared: human remains. After digging three feet, he found a small arm bone, so he employed an undertaker to take charge. In short order, they exhumed the corpses of two unclothed girls, which they believed were Nellie and Alice Pitezel.
"Alice was found lying on her side with her hand to the west," Geyer wrote. "Nellie was found lying on her face, with her head to the south, her plaited hair hanging neatly down her back." A crew of men lifted them from the grave and transferred them to coffins. Gruesomely, as Nellie was lifted, her heavy braid pulled the scalp away from her skull. Geyer was widely congratulated on his persistence and success. He sent a telegram to Philadelphia about the day's events and concluded in his book, "Thus it was proved that little children cannot be murdered in this day and generation, beyond the possibility of discovery."
Searchers found a toy in the house that was listed in Carrie Pitezel's inventory of things that her children had owned, which assisted Geyer with a firm identification of the remains, as did pieces of partially burnt clothing. Then, they brought Mrs. Pitezel to Toronto to confirm. She was allowed to see the children's hair and teeth, as the remains were too putrefied for her to view. She recognized them instantly and swooned in grief. She now knew that Holmes had lied to her and had killed her children.
But Geyer still knew there was one more child to find: little Howard. His trek was not yet done, although it now appeared to be fully pessimistic. He used logic and items from the letters to determine that Howard had been separated from the girls before their arrival in Detroit, so it was time to return to Indianapolis.

The Most Visited Parks in 2011
Are Your Favorites on the List?
Last week, the National Park Service released data on the most visited parks of 2011. The list includes many of the same iconic places that attract tourists year after year, including the Great Smoky Mountains, Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, and Grand Teton, and it's interesting to see the variety and geographic diversity of popular destinations, representing sites from Utah to Maine to Ohio to California to Washington. The ten most popular units of the entire park system, which includes monuments, recreation areas, and other federal historic sites in addition to the national parks, covers even wider ground, from New Jersey to Nevada to Mississippi (although it's worth noting that vehicle traffic on roadways in the park system certainly affects the visitation numbers).
All in all, the park system has seen an astounding 12.4 billion recreational visits since the Park Service was founded in 1916. Are your favorite parks on the list? View the numbers here: http://www.npca.org/exploring-our-parks/visitation.html

Obama Admin Injects Dear Leader Into White House Bios of 13 of 14 Most Recent Presidents; Press Ignores, or Yawns
A quick comparable: If George W. Bush had arranged to insert "Did You Know?" promos of his administration's accomplishments and positions into other presidents' biographies on the White House's web site, does anyone think that the press would have ignored it? Not only would they have not ignored it, they and every left-leaning entertainer would (quite justifiably) have ridiculed and criticized him for historical tampering bordering on vandalism.
Well, Dear Leader has done exactly what I described sometime in the past four days to 13 of his past 14 predecessors, sparing only Gerald Ford (I guess that will have to wait until Obama can compare his administration-ending pardons to Ford's pardon of Dick Nixon). After the jump, readers will find pictures of the conclusion of the bio of Franklin Delano Roosevelt from Google Cache as of May 12 and as of today, followed by a bit of commentary from Andrew Malcolm at Investor's Business Daily:
Here is Google's cache as of May 12:
Here is how FDR's White House page looks today (except, of course, that the red box around Team Obama's gratuitous inserted text is mine):
Isn't that something?
Here is most of what Malcolm had to say at IBD beyond quoting other "Did You Know?" items at other presidential bios:
Narcissism update: Obama now inserts himself into online bios of past presidents
It was probably to be expected from a monstrous political ego that considers himself among the top two presidents of the 21st century.
But faced with the apparently frightening possibility of losing his reelection bid, Barack Obama has inserted himself into the online White House bios of almost every president in the last nine decades. To somehow share and compare their achievements. At one point Obama even draws his wife into the biographical additions.
It would be funny if it wasn't so hilarious.
... Imagine the emotional insecurities of a grown man who would have henchman find and gratuitously insert even the faintest link between this 44th president and almost every president back to Calvin Coolidge --"On Feb. 22, 1924 Calvin Coolidge became the first president to make a public radio address to the American people.....President Obama became the first president to hold virtual gatherings and town halls."
Malcolm supplies the other bio additions at this column. Those readers of strong, er, constitution who want to see how the Obama administration sullied the other bios can go to the following direct links: Coolidge, Hoover, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, and (yes) Bush 43.
This of course is not news at the Associated Press (search was on "White House biographies," not in quotes). The ever-so-pompous New York Times falsely headlined the notion that all of the additions are policy-related (some are most definitely not), and was careful only to quote conservative pundits and others about the additions -- as if independents and many Democrats are presumptively okey-dokey with all of this. What rubbish
Does anybody still want to seriously question the propriety of yours truly's decision to begin calling Obama the Punk President on Election Night in 2008?

The city of Washington D.C. was named after Washington. Today, gatherings of homeless people in tents are called Obamavilles.
Washington fundamentally transformed the colonies into the United States. Today, Obama is fundamentally transforming the US into a colony of the UN.
Washington refused to be made king. Obama refuses to be less than king.
Or for President Adams:
Did you know? President Obama has an Adam's apple.

Read an article this morning about the recovery of celebrity chef Guy Fieri's stolen Lamborghini, and at the end of the article? You guessed it, a mention of President Obama. Had nothing to do with any part of the subject matter of the article, yet the writer for some reason felt compelled to mention that Obama had "lent some gravitas" to Fieri by signing his name next to Fieri's on the wall of some restaurant in Colorado (I think it was CO, anyway). WTF?

Where Is Room 101? Where Are the Rats?
Submitted by berlet98 on Thu, 05/17/2012 - 12:56pm.
Where Is Room 101? Where Are the Rats?
There are many obvious and unsettling parallels between life in America under Barack Hussein Obama in 2012 and life in Oceania under Big Brother in George Orwell's 1984.
The deification of Oceania's omnipresent leader, the overbearing intrusion of a socialistic government into the private lives of its citizens, the thought control implemented by the Inner Party, the denial of individual freedom and liberties in favor of collectivism, the propagandizing, etc. all have parallels in America today.
The mindless worship of The Anointed One, his socialistic obsession, his belief in hate (thought) crimes, his collectivist outlook on life, his commitment to an all-powerful pervasive central government are scarily reminiscnt of 1984.
The only features missing from Obamaland are incessant wars, which may be in progress, and "the thing" in Room 101, "the worst thing in the world" for Winston Smith: rats.
Rats may be on the agenda in Obama's second term along with implementation of other horrors he pledged to effect when he has more "flexibility," as he promised Medvedev-Putin, after he is re-elected in November.
The president and his henchmen have been tirelessly working on the propaganda aspect of their version of Oceania. . .

Rich with the flavors of fall and winter, this sensational snacking cake is aromatic with spices, moist with mellow pumpkin, and studded with chocolate, cranberries, and nuts. Easy to make for the holiday season when lots of entertaining is on the agenda, it is also a terrific keeper (refrigerated or frozen) for last-minute get-togethers. For an even deeper chocolate flavor, substitute ¼ cup Dutch-processed cocoa for ¼ cup of the flour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly butter and flour a 6-cup Bundt pan. Set aside.
Place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle. Beat on medium speed to just soften. Add the brown sugar and beat for about 4 minutes, or until very light and creamy. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the pumpkin and beat to blend.
Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt and, with the motor off, sift the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture. Turn the speed to low and beat to incorporate the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture. When well blended, remove the bowl from the mixer and, using a rubber spatula, fold in the chocolate, cranberries, and nuts.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted near the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and invert onto a wire rack. Remove the pan and allow the cake to cool to room temperature.
When cool, transfer the cake to a serving plate, placing the decorative side up. Place the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder in a fine-mesh sieve and, tapping gently on the side of the sieve, lightly dust the cake with the sugar-cocoa mix. Or, for a more elegant cake, omit the dusting and drizzle the cooled cake with Chocolate Glaze. Cut into slices and serve.
The cake will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
For the Chocolate Glaze:
Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Set aside.
Place the cream in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Immediately remove from the heat and pour over the chocolate. Let rest for a few seconds and then begin incorporating the cream into the chocolate by mixing with a rubber spatula.
When well blended, drizzle over the cooled cake. Let stand for a few minutes to harden slightly before cutting.
Nutrients per serving (% daily value)
This recipe serves 12, but does not include optional chocolate glaze.

I've just uploaded the photos by number, for fear of spelling someone's name wrong.
Below is the shot of everyone after the baptisms. Well, all those who were baptized and quite a few people from both churches in behind. Just click on the photo to see the larger version.

Staley takes Bus' role
Steelers | Staley getting a shot at short-yardage job
Thu, 17 Aug 2006 21:51:57 -0700
Rick Starr, of the Tribune-Review, reports the Pittsburgh Steelers are giving RB Duce Staley a chance to win the job as the team's new short-yardage back, a role previously filled by retired RB Jerome Bettis. Staley will play behind the first offensive line during the team's preseason game Saturday, Aug. 19, Steelers head coach Bill Cowher said. "We've got to give him a chance to run behind the good offensive line, just to get a sense of where he's at," Cowher said Thursday, Aug. 17. Staley said after practice that he won't attach any sense of urgency to the game. The Steelers don't have a long list of options if Staley can't fill their needs.

This game was lost at the free throw line. Ben Wallace, I love you, but you didn't even try on a couple of those Hack-a-Ben free throws.
POINT GUARDS: Stuckey had a real good all-around game. He took care of the ball and played great defense on Devin Harris. Bynum shook off some rust in the first half where he missed a couple makeable layups.
SHOOTING GUARDS: Typical Rip performance on offense. He made good decisions for the most part. He struggled on defense with both Harris and Morrow. Efficient offensive game for Ben Gordon. And a decent defensive effort except when he was guarding Terence Williams (that's an awful matchup for him).
SMALL FORWARDS: Solid all-around game for Tayshaun. Great ball movement from TMac. He would have three more assists if it wasn't for Maxiell. I came away excited about what he'll be able to contribute.
POWER FORWARDS: Daye had a tough game. He missed some shots he would normally make. He looks more comfortable playing defense at the four then he does at the three. His awareness is so much better. But, he gave up some offensive rebounds to Favors and Humphries. Villanueva shot well and gave a solid effort on defense.
CENTERS: Ben got thoroughly abused by Brook Lopez who was a flat out beast. Maxiell looked hobbled and rusty. He blew three Tracy McGrady assists.
COACH: The team looked really good on offense and improved on defense. They were the better team for most of the game. But, that was an unforgiveable collapse down the stretch. Stuckey should have been guarding Harris down the stretch. And when you need a three-pointer with 1.6 seconds left, Austin Daye (who can shoot over just about anyone) should be out there over Stuckey.

News: DJ Woogie On Soulja Boy "Legendary" New LP, "He's Grown Since The Time He Did 'Crank Dat'"
Wednesday, Apr 7, 2010 10:40AM
Soulja Boy Tell Em's Stacks On Deck hitmaker, DJ Woogie, has shared his insight on the rapper's upcoming Dre album and explained how the teenage rap star has matured.
According to Woogie, the rapper's upcoming summer album will be nothing less than a classic.
"It's gonna be 'legendary,'" Woogie said in an interview. "He has a lot of hot records on there [like this song] called 'Making The Cut' that is on the album. You know, Soulja Boy has grown since the time he did 'Crank Dat' to now...He's grown a lot. He's learned a lot more about the rap game and [has] said that himself in some of his raps. He said that he learned more, and people thought he was wack. He became more versatile, and look at him now. Everybody wants a favor; everybody wants a freestyle, or a feature. People used to sleep on the kid, now everybody is on 'em more or less to say!" (All Hip Hop)
The upcoming solo project's name was recently shortened from The DeAndre Way.
Soulja Boy Tell'em hopped up out the bed and onto the stage at Eva Longoria Parker's nightclub Eve in Las Vegas on Friday night (March 12). He hosted and performed a three-song set including "Kiss Me Thru the Phone," "Turn My Swag On," and his chart-topping hit "Crank That (Soulja Boy)." Jay-Z and Eminem are on the 19 year-old rapper's wish list for his upcoming third album, now titled Dre. (Rap-Up)
Last January, the rapper released a video announcement regarding his album's completion.
"[I'm] in the studio, recording my new album, I should be finished with it in like two weeks," Soulja Boy said in a video recording. "My first single should be hitting the radio. Make sure y'all request that 'Pronto,' me and Snoop [Dogg], request that 'Bingo' [with] me and Gucci [Mane]...and my first single is coming in two weeks. So be on the look out for that...It's 2010, I got signed in 2007, so it's three years now, officially, my third album finna drop. Everybody who ever bought any of my music, everybody that ever bought any of my albums, appreciate it. And we about to get ready to do it again. And I'm also headlining my own tour this year, 2010." (Soulja Boy Video)
Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West has also reportedly signed onto the project.
"Three [beats]," Soulja Boy told radio host Tim Westwood regarding their completed tracks. "They sounding awesome. This album, I'm mostly doing it myself but I got a lot of producers that I'm working with. I'm working with a lot of artists, like even onTwitter. I'll send out blasts like 'Send me beats.' I got a producer called Super Sed in the 'A' that did 'Pronto,' he did 'Pronto' for Snoop Dogg..." (Tim Westwood TV)

"People get mad, some sort of want to cry," said Double T Bookstore Manager Allisyn McDonald. From her description, you'd think she was talking about divorce and in a way, she is. Students parting with greenbacks for hardbacks. "The average that I've seen is about $300," she said.
The price of college textbooks. The stomach churning, eye-rolling, inevitable rendezvous with your wallet. Over the next two weeks, the Double T Bookstore on 19th St. expects to take in over $200,000. The high cost is expected, even joked about. At the end of the checkout aisle there's a Red Raider coupon book. An ad inside reads, "Just spent a small fortune on books, earn over $100 in two weeks by donating plasma."
Normally I spend between $300 and $400," said business major John Davis. He's bracing himself for sticker shock. "I'm guessing $500 or $600," said Meagan Jukes. "They're really expensive," she said.
Why so costly? "Various reasons," said McDonald. "New editions, new books cost more, professors choose which books they want and some are customized for classes," she said.
So what's a students to do? John's checking with a professor who's listed three books for his course to see if all of them are really needed. "Just ask your professor if you need all the books and if you don't, then don't buy them," he said.
Then there's the process of selling them back at the end of the semester. Trying to recoup some of your cash. "But it's never as much as you pay for them," said Meagan. How can you maximize your profit? "The sooner you sell them the more money you get but the more they buy back the value decreases," said Davis. Looks like John's major in business is paying off.
Today's damage? $361.76 for John, and $470.38 for Meagan. And that is about average. Arms weighed down, pockets a lot lighter, and faces dazed. "Sometimes I feel bad," said McDonald. "$745.62," said Allisyn with a grimace. "You try to say it nicely?," asked the reporter. "Yes," she smiled.

|Cops could get charged as dealers?
|Written by APB Staff
"It is 'impossible for state law enforcement officers to comply with their state law duty not to forfeit medical marijuana, and their federal law duty not to distribute or aid in the distribution of marijuana," Schuette's opinion said.
In such circumstances, the state law, approved by Michigan voters in 2008, must defer to the federal law, Schuette said.
"The people of this State, even in the exercise of their constitutional right to initiate legislation, cannot require law enforcement to violate federal law by mandating the return of marihuana to registered patients or caregivers," Schuette wrote.
Schuette's opinion was prompted by a request from state Representative Kevin Cotter. Cotter asked whether police were required to return marijuana to medical marijuana patients who had been arrested or detained upon their release.
Medical marijuana advocates said police in Michigan have followed the letter and spirit of the state law by routinely returning marijuana to patients who have been temporarily detained.
The Michigan medical marijuana statute explicitly bars the seizure of marijuana and marijuana paraphernalia from a licensed patient.About 100,000 people are registered to use marijuana for medical reasons in Michigan.
Schuette's opinion does not authorize police to prosecute patients for marijuana possession. It just lets cops know they could face a trafficking charge for enforcing the law.
An opinion from the attorney general is usually treated as a binding legal opinion, especially on state agencies like the Michigan State Police unless and until a judge rejects it.
A California court dealt with the legal question addressed by the attorney general's opinion in 2007. In that case, a medical marijuana patient successfully sued police in Garden Grove, Calif., for the return of marijuana that had been taken from him during a traffic stop. The case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the justices declined to hear the appeal.
In his opinion, Schuette cited a 2010 decision by the Oregon Supreme Court. In that case, the state court upheld the right of an employer to refuse to hire a medical marijuana patient on the grounds that using the drug was a violation of federal law.

Obama Begins to Fill His Energy, Environmental and Natural Resources Team
by Charles Lemos, Wed Dec 10, 2008 at 04:03:34 PM EST
The New York Times is reporting that President-elect Obama will name Nobel Prize winning physicist Dr. Steven Chu as Secretary of Energy. Dr. Chu is currently Professor of Physics and Molecular and Cellular Biology of University of California, Berkeley and the director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997 then as a Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Stanford University for his research in laser cooling and trapping of atoms. At Stanford, Dr. Chu spearheaded the Bio-X program bringing together scientists from physics, chemistry, biology and engineering backgrounds to work on complex issues such as climate change and alternative energy development. As director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Dr. Chu was instrumental in forging a research pact reached between UC Berkeley, oil industry giant BP, the Lawrence Berkeley Lab and the University of Illinois to develop technologies to reverse climate change. Under Dr. Chu, Lawrence Berkeley Lab has also been conducting research into bio-fuels and solar technologies.
The other three selections are all veterans of the Clinton Administration: Lisa Jackson for EPA administrator, Carol Browner as his "energy czar," and Nancy Sutley to lead the White House Council on Environmental Quality.
-- Lisa Jackson, who would be the first black person to lead the EPA, is a former New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection commissioner who worked at the federal agency for 16 years, including under Browner when she was Bill Clinton's EPA chief. Jackson is a co-chairman of Obama's EPA transition team, and currently serves as chief of staff to New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine. A New Orleans native, she grew up in the Lower Ninth Ward, the area stricken by Hurricane Katrina. She holds chemical engineering degrees from Tulane University and Princeton University.
-- Carol Browner, who served as EPA chief for eight years under Clinton, will become Obama's go-to person in the White House overseeing energy issues, an area expected to include the environment and climate matters. Now chair of the National Audubon Society and on the boards of several other environmental groups, Browner has been leading the Obama transition's working group on energy and environment.
-- Nancy Sutley, the deputy mayor for energy and environment in Los Angeles and the mayor's representative on the Board of Directors for the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, is the first prominent gay to earn a senior role in Obama's new administration. She was an EPA official during the Clinton administration, including being a special assistant to the EPA administrator in Washington. She also previously served on the California State Water Resources Control Board and was an energy adviser to former Gov. Gray Davis.
Still left to fill is the Interior Department, which oversees the management of federal lands. Overall, it's an interesting mix of picks. One very outside the beltway for Energy and three others, all women, with ties to the Clinton Administration.
The "energy czar" post is still rather ill-defined as yet but Ms. Browner will likely counterbalance retired Marine Gen. James Jones whose appointment as National Security Adviser has prompted concern among some environmentalist groups. Gen. Jones leads an energy initiative within the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, an organization that has long clashed with the interests of environmentalists.

this book is the most thrilling sequal that u will ever read in ur life. its is and unexpecting and twisted world or good and evil but love always wins in the end <3
Not quite as good as the first one,but I liked it anyway.Loved the ending, I loved how Juliets character came back in the end.
An ok sequel. Not that interesting though, and the characters were a little too dramatic and over-the-top. The whole storyline wasn't as convincing as the first book was, and so it was hard to get through the whole thing without a few eye rolls.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Rosemary Rodriguez, the new creative director at Thierry Mugler, told me she knows how to do two things: work from an archive, and host a good presentation. The latter was why she decided to show her first full collection for the label during a three hour, Champagne-filled preview-slash-party Friday night instead of a fashion editor's more traditional daytime affair. "It's more important to have fun and enjoy yourself," Rodriguez explained. "This is fashion, after all." A little late in the cocktail hour she took me back to her studio, where she keeps her favorite pieces from the archives—standouts included a one-shoulder multicolored striped jumpsuit and a draped, cut-down-to-there dress. "What's important is not to just remake these pieces," she said. "What I do is to take a mental image of the piece, and then bring out the good points. The trick is to make a collage of those elements and what is now." Hence, her collections of pointy-shoulder velvet jackets and handwoven tassel-fringe dresses. Besides, Rodriguez added, "It's very simple to just remake something that's already been done. But if you want that, just go buy vintage."
Very pretty dresses!! I would love to have seen the other outfits at that party!

Just something for you to think about..... Since you have had Bentley you have at times let Ky be Bentley's (trainer) mother figure. Having Bentley may have put her more on guard in protection mode (in her own home). You have said yourself you have let Ky handle it. (not in this type of occasion) but she may have felt since she is sometimes in charge she needed to be in charge in this situation as for her he was a real threat (even if he wasn't).
I would mention this to the behaviorist she/he may say don't worry this couldn't be it but then she/he may say that you need to not let Ky be in charge at any time so she knows you will take care of it. (whatever it is)

I can't help but wonder if the guy in some way reminded Ky of the man who beat her? I guess there is no way for you to know that, but maybe something in his mannerisms or voice scared her.

Joyce, I am very glad you are seeking a behavorist to discuss this with. I love Akita's and even spent a wonderful day at a kennel when we were in Germany many years ago. The breed is facinating but they will protect to the death, it was what they were bred to do. It takes a special family to understand and train the dog to override her instincts and live in a social world..and you are doing this. I agree with you the gut problem is that you didn't feel you had control of her for that short time. I agree with other posters that if Ky wanted to, she would have attacked..but she didn't. So part of your telling her was registering.
You take your responsibilities with her so to heart, which is what a good owner should do. I will be interested in what suggestions the behaviorist tells you, because Ky will always want to protect - to keep her family safe, but she must learn when to ignore her instincts and let you handle. I wish I could offer some advise, but can't but I admire and respect so much that you are going the extra mile to find alternative ways to handle this. You have made Ky a special member here & we all care for her.

Just a quick thought for you. My sister rescued a lab years ago and one day her daughter's friend came to visit and the sweet usual lab fell apart when the friend tried to pet him. He dropped to the floor and rolled over and looked terrified. They learned later that the perfume the friend was wearing was the same as the woman who had owned him before and obviously abused him.

Will Office for iPad be like iWork or like Photoshop touch?
Basically my question is, will office for ipad be a beautiful native app designed for iOS, or a general "designed to work everywhere" flop of a mess like photoshop touch?
My hope is that it is an office compatible Microsoft version of iWork. My fear is that it will be an HTML web portal-type mess that works with office 365, is slow and tedious to use.
Any thoughts?

Which classes rewrite the image paths in HTMLText
17 February 2012 at 10:00am Last edited: 17 February 2012 4:32pm
Guys, PLEASE PLEASE HELP!! I'm old(ish), you can see that from my boater!
I am desperate to fix a jquery mobile issue.
I have posted a couple of times but with no replies. I have since found the problem but I can't find which classes I have to modify. The are very deep in the CMS.
What I want is to alter the image insert pane so it alters images to have a leading slash. I then want to alter the save parser and image resizer so that it doesn't remove a slash that is there when it creates a new filename/path.
Here goes ...I have partly found the answer to the strange rewrites of /assets/image.jpg to assets/image.jpg. In this following real world example the leading slash gets stripped by the class that creates a new image size:
I'm not asking for a fix - I can do that but I cant find where.

Re: Which classes rewrite the image paths in HTMLText

I suppose you are referring to images inserted into the TinyMCE editor, using the SilverStripe sidepanel? This isn't easy to find. It's handled by the javascript file sapphire/javascript/tiny_mce_improvements.js.
Somewhere around line 624, in the insert() function it says:
var baseURL = document.getElementsByTagName('base')[0].href;
var relativeHref = this.href.substr(baseURL.length);
Thus subtracting the contents of the <base> tag from the href. I suppose you could experiment wth adding a '/' to the front of the relativeHref, if it doesn't start with, say, 'htt'...
Mind: experiment! I haven't the faintest idea what kind of problems shutting the door in front of this bolting horse might get you into, in this case
Re: Which classes rewrite the image paths in HTMLText
22 February 2012 at 12:25pm
In the end I gave up and applied the fix I mentioned since although nuts, it was simple and will survive updates! I still think there should be an option to use root relative urls though (and jquerymobile) falls to bits without them. The fix is now in use at http://boatshow.co.nz
However thanks for telling me where to look. I still need to find where the image resizer does its work in stripping the leading slash too.

Another high character guy for the Lions
Being a Lions fan as you guys know we have been the punch line of numerous jokes the past decade. None of those punch lines can be the result of something that happened off the field at least. (excluding Charles Rogers) Unlike Bengal fans we don't have to turn on ESPN and wait to see who was the latest player from our team to be arrested. I know us fans have not had a lot to be proud of on the field the past decade, but at least we have and can be proud of our guys off the field. Like Calvin, Suh, and many others, we have yet another guy we can be proud of for the things he does off the field as well as on the field. Finally it seems that Lion's fans will be able to be proud of our players on both ends of the spectrum. I am praying there is going to be football this year, as I don't know if I have ever been this excited for the upcoming season. Playoff bound baby!

When a user wants to enter a message in the contact form, the spacebar functions as navigation (in Firefox for instance), making it impossibble to enter a message in the field. Is there an easy way to fix this?
Hi, Sierawiersma,
I tested contact form in Firefox and I don't see any problem. It is working properly…
I have the same problem as Sierawiersma… When hitting the spacebar, I get the "Thank you for visiting my page" thing, in Firefox as well as in Safari. Perhaps it's a Mac-PC issue. I'm on a Mac… Can you fix this? Otherwise I can't use this template which I already bought.
Hi Markomar,
If you want to cancel the keyboard navigation, open up the impress.js file and delete all the codes between 680-762 lines.
// touch handler to detect taps on the left and right side of the screen
If you want to cancel only spacebar navigation delete only the following code (line 713);
case 32: // space
When I delete only line 713, the spacebar has no function anymore, not even as a space…
Deleting the whole bunch damages the site and the yellow box (Your browser doesn't support tehe features….) pops up.
Please send me an email via contact box on my profile page. I will send you edited js file.
I am tempted to purchase this template but I have a few questions first.
I am experiencing the space bar issue as noted above. Will you be creating a fix for this outside of disabling the feature completely?
Also, what will happen if I remove two pages? Will it affect the animation or layout adversely?
Hi portcitynerds,
I fixed the space bar issue. You can check the demo site.
Also, you can add or remove as many pages as you want. All animation and layout settings are explained in help document.
Hi Egemenerd,
Thanks for the quick reply! The spacebar issue is still an issue for Safari / OS X.
What kind of issue do you see? Space bar isn't have any function on navigation anymore. Please clear your browser's cache and try again…
Why did you write that is compatible with IE7, IE8, IE9? It is not.
It's working with IE9,IE8 and IE7 please read the item description; "Automatically detect older browsers and shows a simplified version of the website"
I'm having trouble with the style.css file. Wordpress says it's missing header info. i tried to unzip and upload, but that doesn't seem to work either.
Sorry but this is not a wordpress theme, this is only a html template…
One of the best themes I've seen to date. Purchase incoming as soon as I arrive home.
Thanks DarthDesigns, may the force be with you
Excellent Work ! But I have a problem with the form and the placeholder's attribute. When I confirm the form and when all the fields are not filled, the message displays wherever ! This tooltip is automatically generated by the placeholder's attribute.
Hi rom-mdm,
Thanks for purchasing my template. If you want to disable required fields messages, you should do some changes in js,php and html files. Please send me an email via contact box on my profile page. I will send you edited files
Lovely design. However in the contact form, whenever the visitor press "Tab" on the keyboard to go to next field like most people do, it will slide to the last page instead of jumping to the next form field.
Any fix for this?
By the way, is there any way to lower the resource use by this? It consumes quite a lot of CPU and the site loads slow with a weaker computer.
Main issue was spacebar, and I've already fixed it. Navigation with "Tab" is active, but if you want to cancel it, I can send you an edited file…
Well I haven't got much to say about weaker computers but use proper resolution for portfolio images and delete javascripts which are not used by you. For example you may not using skills section, so delete raphael js… like this
Theme very nice but you have to solve the compatibility with Internet Explorer!
I can't do that because explorer doesn't support most of css3 features. Simplified version of the template for older browsers is nice enough until explorer will support these css3 features

About the project
'We help graduates to pass on advice and inspiration to where it can make a difference.'
About us:
First piloted in 2006, advice to sink in slowly is an ongoing series of posters designed by graduates for the purpose of passing on advice and inspiration to first year students.
A free poster is available on request to first year students across the UK.
Our ethos:
- Everyone has a piece of advice they wish they had known earlier, but often don't have the chance to pass that advice on to where it can make a difference.
- Advice is subjective. But, by passing on advice in a creative way, it is possible to create something that lasts, that people will want to live with and which can let the advice sink in slowly and help out later on.
- The prospect of University can be scary and it can take a while to feel at home and comfortable in their new surroundings. As well as passing on advice, the project aims to help new students to feel welcome and bring a sense of belonging and continuity to their first days at University.
What our supporters say:
"These posters supply the sort of inside advice Freshers won't get anywhere else, in a medium that is powerful but not intimidating. New students are inundated with tips, but they're likely to remember these for a lot longer than the rest."
Judy Friedberg, Production Editor, Education Guardian Online.
"The posters are a great way to pass on advice and offer reassurance (with just a quick glance perhaps) when you need it most. Add in some eye-catching art from a leading illustrator and you have something that students will not only want to keep, but will no doubt go back to again and again."
Mark Sinclair, Deputy Editor, Creative Review.
"My advice poster was the first thing I put up in my new room the day I arrived and I still look at it everyday when I wake up. It's great to know that the person who designed the poster has been through what I am going through now."

Another star wants immediate gratification or out
Looks like Kevin Love is tired of the "losing culture" in Minnesota and wants out. He wants to be "surrounded by better players". Sound familiar? You know what would be nice to hear, just once? Something like this: "Even though I was an all-star last year, there are still holes in my game and I am working hard on correcting them. I believe in what we are doing here and I will try my best to lead the team to the playoffs next year, especially since I just signed a 4 year deal." Wishful thinking I guess

Folks from the International Baseball Federation made their pitch to the IOC today to restore baseball and softball to the Olympics for 2016. Here appears to be the key:
[IBF President Harvey] Schiller said the baseball delegation was asked if it could deliver major league players to a 16-team Olympic tournament in August 2016.
And so, what say you? Should MLB send major leaguers to Olympic teams in order to get baseball back in the Games? They'd probably have to suspend the season for a couple of weeks, like the NHL did a number of years ago, in order to accomplish this. Discuss.

Does point guard defense matter?
An interesting concept indeed. Maybe the prevailing thought that Roy/Rudy/etc can't play D doesn't matter so much as our lacking interior defense. Also, one of the commentors makes another great point about how Nash's offensive contributions far outweigh his defensive limitations, resulting in a net positive, by far...but I think we already knew that.
