I'd like to develop my site with a layout that looks somewhat like houses with connected plumbing, or multiple computers connected to a network. Basically, the will be boxes floating in space, with lines connecting some of the boxes. I'd like these lines to have some turns in them as well (just simple 90 degree corners) rather than just a straight line.
My question is what is the best way to achieve this, and perhaps a small example. My thoughts were to use:
PHP and CSS: I could create a background grid and then, with some complicated algorithms, draw paths using the grid's borders. This would be more dynamic, but I'm not sure I can plot the math all by myself.
just CSS: Perhaps this is as simple as making some pre-drawn lines like L-shapes and T-junctions, then just placing and scaling them. But I don't believe there's a way to scale an image by slicing it.. so the line width would be scaled and thus each image would look different.
Any thoughts?

"That's the weirdest microphone I've ever seen in my life," he slurs—except, you know, it's just a regular microphone.

Matt Gillis, Deseret News
The board of directors of the Boy Scouts of America will vote next week on a resolution that would effectively end its national policy prohibiting homosexuals from participating as Scouts or as Scout leaders.
"A resolution will be put forth by the national board a week from Wednesday," said Kay Godfrey, director of public relations for the BSA's Great Salt Lake Council. "We won't know until then how it will affect Scouting as we've known it."
Pete Williams, justice correspondent for NBC News, broke the story Monday morning, reporting that BSA national leaders are "actively considering an end to its decades-long policy of banning gay Scouts or Scout leaders."
According to Williams, the new policy "would eliminate the ban from the national organization's rules, leaving local sponsoring organizations free to decide for themselves whether to admit gay Scouts."
"The Boy Scouts would not, under any circumstances, dictate a position to units, members or parents," Smith told BSA spokesman Deron Smith told USA Today. "Under this proposed policy, the BSA would not require any chartered organization to act in ways inconsistent with that organization's mission, principles or religious beliefs."
In other words, different Scout troops in the same community could have different policies regarding homosexuals, in which case Smith said parents "would be able to choose a local unit which best meets the needs of their families."
Although Godfrey was not aware of the proposal until Monday morning, he said "you have to figure they've done their homework in talking to the powers that be in all of the sponsoring institutions."
"I can't imagine that they are blindly moving forward with this," Godfrey said, adding that national organization representatives told local council officials during a conference call early Monday afternoon they have contacted sponsoring institutions, which have indicated they understand the pressure BSA is under on this issue.
Asked if he expects the measure to pass when it is voted upon next week, Godfrey would only say that during the conference call it was indicated that support among national board members "is not unanimous."
Godfrey, who is retiring in February after 35 years as a professional Scouter, said he believes the policy change would "affect Scouting in the state of Utah considerably."
"We won't know how much it will change until it is announced and the sponsoring organizations have a chance to react," he said. "One way or the other, the decision is going to be controversial."
Speaking for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the single largest organizational sponsor of Scouting in Utah and one of the largest in the United States, Michael Purdy said that "the church is aware that the BSA is contemplating a change in its leadership policy."
"However," Purdy continued, "BSA has not yet made any such change. Until we are formally notified that it has done so, it would be inappropriate for the church to comment."
An official at the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, another large sponsor of Scouting in Utah, also indicated that "it would be inappropriate to comment given the speculative nature of the report."

wandmhollingsworth Review
We ordered this to be my wedding band and I absolutely love it. The diamonds are the perfect size, it sparkles beautifully and it looks great next to my solitaire engagement ring. The setting is a little higher than I thought it would be, but it isn't a problem for me. I still love the look of this ring. It is an excellent value for the price.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Bomb materials get man charged
MONTREAL -- A man who was born in Iran, but switched his birth name for an Italian one, has been charged in connection with an alleged attempt to bring explosive material onto a plane.
Antony Piazza, as he is now known, faces three charges over an incident that paralyzed Montreal's main airport for several hours and caused a neighbourhood to be shut down.
The story took another twist when his defence lawyer told reporters Monday his client was transporting a bag belonging to someone else.
A bail hearing is scheduled today for Piazza, 71, whose original name was Houshang Nazemi.
It was under his original moniker that he received a 10-year sentence for drug trafficking in the mid-1980s in a case that was heard in the St-Jerome, Que., area, his defence attorney told reporters outside the courtroom on Monday.
Piazza's court appearance was brief.
He faces three charges -- possession of an explosive substance; attempting to transport an explosive substance on an airplane; and mischief by endangering the safety of an airport or aircraft and disrupting activity at the airport.
Crown lawyer Alexandre Gauthier said the mischief charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail.
The Crown also objects to his release on bail.
"The investigation is still ongoing and it's hard to tell what's going to come out of it right now," Gauthier said.
Police said the material found in luggage at a Montreal airport terminal contained everything needed to make a bomb -- except the actual explosives.
The suspicious package was spotted at a security checkpoint in the U.S. departures area of Trudeau airport early Sunday morning.
But defence lawyer Louis Morena says he was holding the carry-on bag for someone else.
"In the police report, he claims his innocence and says the bag belonged to someone else," Morena told reporters outside the courtroom.
The Crown has remained mum about what exactly Piazza was carrying. His lawyer revealed some of the items police said they'd identified.
"They were talking about bullets, talking about powder, about wires, about (lighters)," Morena said.
Authorities have revealed fewer details to the media. The Crown said it will eventually say more about the luggage contents.
"It's not an explosive substance in itself, but it's an explosive substance in the sense of the Criminal Code," Gauthier said.
"It's hard to (be specific) right now about what type of substance it was, but one thing is certain: We'll be able to see what type of substance it was in future (court appearances)."
Police have also provided few details. They said only the materials found Sunday were not dangerous without actual explosives, but stepped in because they didn't want to take any chances.
"For us, it is something major because everything was there to make us believe... (it could have been) a bomb, an explosive device," police spokesman Ian Lafreniere told The Canadian Press.
"The explosive was not found, but even then everything was there to make us believe... this."
Who supposedly gave him the bag? That also remains a mystery.
"He doesn't say," Morena said of his client. "He simply says it belonged to someone else."
Piazza had a ticket to fly out of Montreal before he was detained Sunday.
As a result of the incident, there were long delays for flights on Sunday.
Hours later, police closed off a neighbourhood to search an apartment in the residential area of LaSalle and seized some documents.

AMA endorses House Democrats' health care bill
The American Medical Association on Thursday endorsed a liberal health overhaul bill that includes a public insurance option, a bold step for a traditionally conservative group with a checkered past on health reforms.
AP Medical Writer
The American Medical Association on Thursday endorsed a liberal health overhaul bill that includes a public insurance option, a bold step for a traditionally conservative group with a checkered past on health reforms.
In its strongest action yet signaling support for President Barack Obama's vow to reform health care, the nation's largest doctors' group sent letters to three House committees behind the bill. The letters, signed by AMA's executive vice president, Dr. Michael Maves, said the AMA appreciates and supports what is being called America's Affordable Health Choices Act.
The bill would create a health insurance exchange, or "marketplace for individuals and small employers to comparison shop among private and public insurers." It wouldn't force patients or doctors into plans - a fear some physicians have had about the concept of public health insurance.
Another selling point is the bill's proposed Medicare reforms, including repeal of what AMA considers a flawed formula that has annually reduced Medicare reimbursements to physicians.
But the public option proposal is most controversial for the AMA; some member physicians at the group's annual meeting last month likened the notion to communism.
A personal appeal from Obama at the Chicago meeting won over some doctors and the group's policy-making delegates ended up adopting a measure signaling openness to reform that includes a public option. Obama said in a Thursday statement he was "grateful that the doctors of the AMA have chosen to support" the health insurance reform.
Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a liberal think-tank, called the AMA's endorsement "a tremendous coup." He said it could create momentum for other groups to back Obama's health reform efforts and make opposing Republicans seem like obstructionists.
The bill's proposed public health option would create a new choice in places now dominated by one or two private insurers, according to a summary of the bill on the House Ways and Means Committee Web site. "It will be subject to the same market reforms and consumer protections as other private plans in the exchange and it will be self-sustaining - financed only by its premiums," the summary says.
Dr. J. James Rohack, AMA's president, told The Associated Press that the group's endorsement shouldn't be seen as the AMA turning more liberal.
"It's not blue or red, or Democratic or Republican. This is something that is the AMA's core values," Rohack said. "The status quo that is 50 million Americans not having health insurance, a system that has administrative waste and as a result drives up premiums so that it is unaffordable for many patients - that is just not acceptable."
The AMA has long believed any health system reform can be achieved by revamping private health insurance plans. It fought the creation of Medicare and succeeded in delaying its debut decades ago. That was when it had more clout; its membership has dwindled to include barely one-fourth of the nation's doctors.
Still, it remains a vigorous lobbyist, and Baker said its full-hearted backing of a proposal that includes a public option could be a turning point.
"I was certainly surprised," he said. "I didn't really expect them to be on board."

Ron Paul is not going to be
Ron Paul is not going to be nominated in Tampa, he's already said this himself. Anyone who pays attention to delegate numbers knows that we have NO chance at the nomination unless all the handpicked establishment delegates suddenly decide that Ron Paul is the right candidate. Anyone who think that is going to happen is living in a dream. I'm voting for Gary Johnson because he is the liberty candidate that will be on the ballot on all 50 states. I will not vote for Obama or Romney.

Kimbley, Jr., and Steven Eugene Winegar were arrested Saturday on federal firearms charges after agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms found grenade components at Kimbley's home at 28128 Highway 41 in Spirit Lake, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Coeur d'Alene/Meghann Cuniff, SR.

Another View -- Kathy Sullivan: We need to take the guns away now
The responses to the Newtown murders by those who oppose common-sense gun safety laws fall into five categories: more research, more enforcement, more guns, more treatment for mental illness and less violence in films and video games. This is not to say that everyone calling for research, guns and/or treatment also opposes common-sense restrictions. However, those who are opposed to restrictions are focusing on one or more of those five areas in an effort to thwart the will of the majority of Americans who believe that the time has come for action.
Those calling for research say we need to review existing laws and the data on mass shootings. Kelly Ayotte, who every day sounds more and more like Sarah Palin with a law degree, falls into the "thorough review" - delay and dilly-dally - camp. What she doesn't acknowledge is that ample research already is available. As reported in Mother Jones magazine, there have been at least 62 mass murders in this country since 1982. Of the 142 guns used, 68 were semiautomatic handguns and 35 were assault weapons.
In Australia, a 1996 law banned semiautomatic and automatic rifles and shotguns. There have been no mass gun killings since the law was adopted. Homicides involving firearms have dropped by 59 percent while suicides by firearms fell by 74 percent.
Do we seriously need more research to tell us that a law eliminating semiautomatic handguns and assault weapons would have a major impact on reducing these mass slaughters? Not really. And here is one other point about those calling for more research and data: Do you think the very same people who reject scientific research into climate change have suddenly developed a respect for scientific research?
As for more enforcement, 79 percent of the mass killers in the last 20 years obtained their guns legally. While better enforcement would be helpful, the easy availability under current law of equipment designed to kill on battlefields is killing kids. The only way to stop that easy availability is to outlaw them. Now.
Then there was the call for more guns just a week after the murder of so many innocents by the spokesman for an organization funded by gun manufacturers. The National Rifle Association's Wayne LaPierre is a man with so little self-awareness that he denounced the video game industry by saying, "There exists in this country a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and stows violence against its own people."
This is from a man whose organization, according to Businessweek, has received at least $14.8 million in seven years from firearms-related companies for just one donor program that started in 2005. This past April, Sturm, Ruger & Co. announced that its yearlong "1 Million Gun Challenge" had raised more than $1.2 million for the NRA. More than one million guns sold, and LaPierre has the audacity to talk about a callous, corrupt and corrupting industry selling violence against its own people!
I agree there is a ridiculous, possibly dangerous amount of violence in many video games and films. However, the attack by LaPierre is a disingenuous effort to divert focus from the role lax gun laws have played in the promulgation of assault-style and semiautomatic weapons. The sale of those films and video games is not limited to the United States. Weekly software sale charts show that for the week of Dec. 8, 2012, the bestselling video games in Europe included "Call of Duty: Black Ops" and "Assassin's Creed III." Yet, despite the prevalence of those games overseas and their popularity with our neighbors to the north ("Assassin's Creed" is made in Canada), the plague of mass shootings is concentrated in the United States.
As for mental illness, it unfortunately took this latest slaughter to get opponents of common-sense gun regulation to talk about mental health services. Here is one concrete step they can take if they are sincere: Support the expansion of Medicaid services made possible through the Affordable Care Act. It would provide more mental health services for many Americans who can't afford them today. And here in New Hampshire, they could, oh, maybe support increasing the cigarette tax to help fund Children Services. But I'm not going to hold my breath.
If we are serious about stopping these senseless attacks, then it is time we act to ban battlefield weapons from our streets. It is not time to talk, or research, or produce more guns, or blame games and movies or express faux concern about the mentally ill.
It is time for Ayotte, LaPierre and the rest of their friends to either get with the program or get out of our way. Today.

If you've got 20,000 to 30,000 bucks burning a hole in your pocket, you might consider purchasing the world's first electronic music synthesizer: the Helmholtz, which is up for auction.
Those of you here who are jazz fans may have heard a little about Kathleen Annie Pannonica Rothschild. Her nickname "Nica" is enshrined in many a jazz composition's title, for example Nica's Tempo, Nica's Dream, Blues for Nica and, simpy, Nica. She was, as you'd imagine, a devoted lover of jazz, and an inestimably important benefactor, patron and enabler of many of the jazz legends of her time, especially the great Thelonius Monk. Learn more about her in this Guardian article: The jazz baroness and the bebop king.

Many of you Americans will be familiar with that certain kind of pop/country song that looks back on the good old days of yesteryear, those carefree, reckless days of mythical youth: driving Camaros, drinking Boone's Farm wine, singing the hit songs of the day, and, yeah, all that. Well, here's a song that springs from that same place in the heart, but in an Afghani version, and a wee bit more political in its message, here and there, than the American versions: it's Farhad Darya's Oo Ghaitaa, translated as "Those Were the Days".
Jon runs the voodoo down
Pianist Jon Cleary is not a native New Orleanian (he hails from Cranbrook in Kent, England) but when it comes to the history and practice of New Orleans music, and piano music in particular, hell, you'd think he'd grown up on Basin Street or maybe next door to Tipitina's. You'll see what I mean when you watch this little clip, Jon Cleary - History of New Orleans Piano, and hear this masterful player roll through an exhaustive (and very entertaining) demonstration of the musical styles that the city is renowned and revered for.

Don't keep your feelings bottled up
It's hard to imagine a cover of Michael Jackson's hit song Billie Jean that could any be more satisfying than this one by the Bottle Boys, who do it on, guess what? Bottles.
You scream, I scream, we all scream...
The song "Turkey In The Straw" is one known to millions of Americans as well as many, many others around the world. Here's a National Public Radio article that shines some light on the virulently racist lyrics that attended that familiar old melody in its earlier incarnation. WARNING: Do not go to the link if you wish to avoid racist imagery and slurs.

Why? Well, for hosting and for documenting a sweaty, burning, solidly funky evening back in 1967: Otis Redding & Friends Stax Volt Revue
Bollywood Inspired Film Music from Hausa Nigeria
The Hausa people of the north of Nigeria like Bollywood films so much that around 20 years ago they started making their own local productions. The films of Kannywood (for Kano, the capital city) feature song and dance - and the incredible music that defines Northern Nigeria: autotuned robotic vocals combined with frenetic drum machine rhythms and intricate, interwoven synths in a hybrid of local styles and Indian influence. Hear a generous sampling of it here.

Sweet is the melody, indeed
Today is Iris DeMent's birthday, and I've been listening to some tunes by this delightfully idiosyncratic singer and songwriter, whose sound harkens back to an earlier era of American music. I thought some of you might enjoy hearing them today as well. Here's Out of the Fire, God May Forgive You (But I Won't), He's Not You, Easy's Gettin' Harder Every Day, Sweet is the Melody, Let the Mystery Be, Our Town (featuring harmony vocal from the wonderful Emmylou Harris), He Reached Down (with Joan Osborne and Bruce Molsky), and finally, here's Iris dueting with John Prine on his hilarious number In Spite of Ourselves.
So long, Phil, and thanks for the music
Phil Everly, one half of the iconic and deeply influential vocal duo the Everly Brothers, has died at age 74. Marked by their sweet, tight harmonies and chopping acoustic guitars, tunes like All I Have To Do Is Dream, Bye Bye Love, Wake Up Little Susie, Cathy's Clown and When Will I Be Loved made an indelible mark on the musical consciousness of America.

What scale did you say that was in?
You or someone you know, at one time or another, might have taken a blade of grass, positioned it between thumbs or fingers, and made some sound, a note or two, by blowing over it. You can actually do the same with certain other things, like, say, fish scales. But chances are that neither you nor anyone you know can make music like the music Marin Toma of Romania, back in the 1930s, made with a fish scale. I mean, hey, just listen to this.

Let's celebrate the 80th birthday of Afrofunk pioneer Manu DiBango with a few of his groovy tunes, shall we? He made a splash way back in 1972 with a catchy (and rather influential) little number called Soul Makossa. A few years later, in 1982, another DiBango tune, also catchy as hell, might've made it onto a turntable or a dance floor near you: it was called Echos Beti. Aside from these two tunes, there's been lots, lots more from this very prolific Cameroon-born saxophonist, vocalist and bandleader, so I've included... [more inside]
Farewell to a giant of African popular music
The much-renowned and very influential singer, songwriter and bandleader Tabu Ley Rochereau, the legendary pioneer of soukous, has died. His music was characterized by his sweet, mellow voice, smoothly beautiful and quintessentially African vocal harmonies, and chiming, smooth-as-silk interwoven guitar melodies. Not to mention a steady, infectious beat that kept people moving on dance floors all across Africa for the past five decades. Here is but a small sampling, spanning from his very fruitful, prolific musical career: Mokolo Nakokufa, Muzina, Kaful Mayay, Bania Irene, Mongali... and since the man is said to have written as many as 3000 songs, there's plenty more out there to discover. RIP Tabu Ley Rochereau.

All you Americans know what day it is today, right? Of course you do! It's Hendrix's birthday! Duh.

The Yellow Dogs, RIP
The Yellow Dogs was a NYC-based group of young expatriates who fled their native Iran for Williamsburg, Brooklyn in order to freely pursue their dream of playing rock music, saying what they wanted to say, and, well, having fun, which were three things they couldn't do back home. Three members of the band were found murdered today. A sad farewell to The Yellow Dogs. [more inside]
Sounds of the wanderers
Whether or not all cultural historians agree with the premise that Rom people came to Europe originally from India, or whether or not the portrayals of Rom musicians in the film are always *accurate* or *authentic* ones (some have indicated they're not, or are too heavily draped in over-stylized Exotica), there is surely no denying that the film is a treasure trove of fantastic musical performances. You've probably guessed by now that we're talking about Latcho Drom, which you can see it in its entirety here.
Alright, get a little closer to the mic, here we go...
First, you might want to listen to the Beach Boys song Sloop John B, just to refresh your memory. Then a look and listen to the video Behind The Sounds: Sloop John B will give you some nice insight into the recording and arranging process and open a window onto the keen production expertise of a young Brian Wilson, directing a roomful of seasoned session pros (none other than the Wrecking Crew). It's how they used to make records, kids!

Some tasty morsels from the 1920s jazz table
Have you heard the music of Tiny Parham? Though not as celebrated a name as some of his early jazz contemporaries like Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong or King Oliver, Tiny's arrangements were inventive, lively and big fun to listen to, and his bands were full of fine players. Here are three slow to medium tempo numbers selected by The Mainspring Press Record Collectors blog that are a good starting point. Then, if you want to get things jumping a little hotter, try Nervous Tension and Sud Buster's Dream. We'll round it out with Tiny's Stomp. Thanks for the music, big man!
Another take on slide guitar
Hey, the Indian sitar is a great instrument and all, but it's really refreshing to hear Indian music played on Hawaiian slide guitar, and in that department, you can't do better than Debashish Bhattacharya. Here's an hour and fifteen minutes of his sublime sound for your listening pleasure: Calcutta Slide Guitar vol.3.
That's what I waaaaaa-aaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaant, yeah
You've more than likely heard this early recording of Money by the Beatles, or perhaps this version by the Rolling Stones. But Barrett Strong, the man who originally recorded it and who was the primary songwriter hasn't shared in the millions of dollars the song has earned over the years.
Low-end melodicism at its most sublime
You're perhaps familiar with the Stevie Wonder classic, For Once in My Life. It's a great little tune, catchy, pleasing, just makes you feel good. What you may never have really thought about, though, is how much James Jamerson's bass line has to do with the tune's infectious brilliance. So, check out James Jamerson's Bass Line Visualized. I mean, just... damn! Right?
aaaaand... CHASER!
Sam Ulano appears to have been drumming, non-stop, since he arrived on the planet in 1920. Sam Ulano is a drumming MACHINE. He's drummed on more gigs than anybody. Anybody. He's also a celebrated educator, who, throughout his long career, has taught and inspired thousands of drummers. But those aren't the reasons Sam Ulano is appearing today at Metafilter. No, Sam is here because of this: Little Red Rhumbahood. That's right. And this: Santa And The Doodle-Li-Boop. Because you've never heard anyone tell a nutty story while accompanying himself on the drum set, and doing it this, um... well, with this kind of verve, spontaneity and deliciously crazed energy. Sam Ulano is a law unto himself, a category of one. Ah, but the pièce de résistance, friends, the crowning achievement of this mad genius, the epic masterpiece which simply must be heard to be believed, is HOW TO PLAY A SHOW. Thank you, Sam Ulano, you joyously inspired lunatic!

"Folk Music in America" is a series of 15 LP records published by the Library of Congress between 1976 and 1978 to celebrate the bicentennial of the American Revolution. It was curated by librarian/collector-cum-discographer Richard K. Spottswood, and funded by a grant by the National Endowment for the Arts. It's absolutely fantastic. And here it is.
but I'll dream of pretty Saro wherever I go...
Bob Dylan ran through the 18th century English folk song "Pretty Saro" six consecutive times during the Self Portrait sessions in March 1970, but none of those versions made the final cut for the album and the song remained in Columbia's vault for the past 43 years, until now.

You think you need more than one string to make some totally captivating, subtly expressive and utterly soulful music? Well, you wrong!
by the dawn's early light
It's a damn tough song to sing, that one we often hear on July 4th, but that didn't stop 'em from designating Francis Scott Key's clunky and tortuous little tune as the US national anthem. People have struggled with it ever since. There was one guy, though, who, back in 1969, performed a soaring, acid-drenched, whammy-barred and noise-punctuated version of it that still stands as one of the most daringly adventurous and poignant moments in American musical history: Mr Jimi Hendrix and his amazing rendition of The Star Spangled Banner.
unexpected encounter
Jimi Hendrix and Dusty Springfield's duet of "Mockingbird," the soul/novelty number originally made famous by by Inez and Charlie Foxx in 1963, hasn't surfaced in decent quality yet, and maybe it never will, so savor this admittedly murky peek at it, apparently taken from a super-8 camera pointed at a TV screen when it originally would have aired in 1968.
Harry Reser and his kah-raaaaaazy tunes!
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who, upon hearing Harry Reser's 1926 recording of OH!

So long, Bobby 'Blue' Bland
It's time to say farewell to one of the great and legendary voices of American music. Mr Bobby 'Blue' Bland has died. With the perfect combination of muscle and tenderness, grit and sweetness, he gave us so many stellar performances over his long career. Here are but a few: Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City, The Way You Treated Me, Stormy Monday, Further Up the Road, St. James Infirmary, I'll Take Care of You, I Stand Accused, That's the Way Love Is, Ain't Nothing You Can Do... and the list goes on. Thanks for the music, Bobby Bland.

More on Auto Mechanic Schools
When picking a school, it is important to take into account location and what schools are supporting which car companies. A lot of schools will span out the amount of actual campuses they have to cover a lot of the US. This is beneficial for the student, who, if he or she wishes, can move to different locations as needed. Some colleges even offer courses that last for only 30 weeks, while others are extensive and require a lengthy stay. Especially, if the student has a preference of places to work for. A lot of auto mechanic schools will specialize in certain areas. If you would prefer to work with high performance rather than diesel or truck, make sure you research your schools properly. Also, it's very important to make sure that you pick a school that offers the certifications you are looking for. It's very important that you know what you would like to do before you step into just any old auto mechanics school. Most student actually say that within the first 3 weeks of attending one of the auto schools, you should know if the career is a right choice for you or not. At most schools, the auto mechanics school will help that student obtain entrance into certain areas and places in the auto industry. In this day and age, automotive technicians out of auto school are paid very well. The instructors have been trained by professionals themselves. In today's schools, you also learn how to handle the business side of things and its essential to learn math skills and problem solving, which are always taught in local auto mechanic schools. Some auto mechanic schools are so in tune with their students, they offer housing help and placement work for their families. Student loans are available through FAFSA and other entities. And scholarships are abundant in the field of auto mechanics.

Will Facebook Advertisers Look Abroad? 85 Percent Of Ad Dollars Spent On Just 15 Percent Of Users [Study]
While just 15 percent of global Facebook users are in North America, the region accounts for nearly half (48 percent) of the Facebook advertising spend. In a new report that analyzed over 200 Facebook marketers, Marin Software says advertisers are under investing in Facebook in regions outside of North America.
North America's user share is expected to shrink to 12 percent of Facebook users by 2015, while the Asia-Pacific region's share is expected to grow from 28 percent to 32 percent of global users by 2015. Asia-Pacific already has more Facebook users by volume than any other market but captures just 11 percent of ad spend, 5 times less than in North America.
Marin also found higher engagement rates in both Latin America and the Middle East and Africa. Latin America generates the highest Facebook ad click-through-rates (CTR), 33% higher than North America and 54% higher than Western European markets. At 66 percent of internet users, Latin America also has the world's highest percentage of Facebook penetration.
The report suggests that "businesses have traditionally underestimated the potential business value in marketing to Facebook users outside of NAM and WEUR". Companies selling internationally should now be looking to expand their Facebook advertising campaigns to those regions to take advantage of lower costs-per-click, higher click-through rates and growing user bases. Of course, unless marketers see ROI from Facebook in these markets, today's spend-to-user ratios aren't likely to change much. The full report can be downloaded here.
