Aaarrrrghhhh! :censored:
Been trying to get this working for weeks now, with the Head and the Exams Officer regularly emailing me "urgent" messages.
Problem is that EdExcel insist the issue is due to Norfolk County Council's firewall, and Norfolk County Council insist the problem is EdExcel.
So, if you have this infernal program working, I would be extremely grateful if you could try the following.
* * * * *
If you do a Google search for "microsoft portqryui", you'll find a port-testing program. It's pretty straightforward; just download it, unzip it, and run it.
In the "Destination IP" box, type "www.catglobal.com". Choose "Manually input query ports", and type 80 (TCP). Then click "Query". This will either say "Listening" (good) or "Filtered" (bad).
Repeat this for:
www.catglobal.com port 443
esm.catglobal.com port 80
esm.catglobal.com port 443
I can get "Listening" for all of these except the last one, and EdExcel say this is the problem. But NCC say they've already opened it, and if it's not responding properly then it's EdExcel's fault. (I get the same results trying from home.)
Who's right? Would love to hear what the results are when the software works.

Jerry Zgoda missed the entire Kevin Garnett era, but he's back covering the Timberwolves after working the beat for their first four seasons two decades ago. In between, he covered a bit of everything: Gopher men's and women's basketball and NCAA athletics, golf, outdoor recreation, sports media and a little Vikings and Twins.
As expected, the Timberwolves have signed both Mickael Gelabale and Chris Johnson for the rest of the season. That move – both signed pro-rated league-minimum deals – meant the team had to waive Lou Amundson to make room on the roster.
"There are many bad parts of this job, but that's probably the worst," Wolves president of basketball operations David Kahn said of having to waive Amundson. " But, given the situation we found ourselves in over the last several weeks, with so few bodies and so much change, this was the right thing to do at the time."
Johnson gives the Wolves a player who can play above the rim and can defend the basket, qualities the team will need going foward. Gelabale – who will make his second straight start for the team tonight against the Knicks – gives them flexibility at both the big guard and small forward positions.
Kahn said both players will have a chance to prove they belong here long-term.
"I think in both cases there is a pathway to being here next year," Kahn said. "It's not a done deal by any means. But there is a pathway. Chris might be in a little bit of a different instance because he's not going to shrink any time in the next three to four months in terms of height. So I would say he probably especially has a chance to be here.''
Kahn said the decision had a lot to do with keeping some consistency on a team that has had very little of it.
"I just felt that was also a factor, since they're here and they've played well and acquitted themselves well, there was really no reason to shift."
Of course, both players were thrilled to get the news. In a classic understatement, here's how Johnson described getting the news: "It's kind of like a 10-day (contract), but more exciting, I would say," he said.
Gelabale, a native of France, said he called his mom first, but she didn't answer. For Gelabale, who came over from Spain to sign a 10-day contract, it was a case of being rewarded for taking that risk.
"I come here for two 10-days, and now I stay for all the rest of the season," he said. "I'm really happy."
Here are some other nuggets from this morning:
--Ricky Rubio said he was thrilled to be going to Houston to play in the Rising Stars Challenge. Rubio and Sacramento's Isaiah Thomas were late commissioner's picks, announced Thursday night.
Any coincidence that the decision came shortly after commissioner David Stern was in town to take in a game? Perhaps, perhaps not. Kahn said the Wolves lobbied on Rubio's behalf: "I know we definitely put a word in, or two, or three," Kahn said. "But it's not our decision to make."
Rubio will play on a team with Alexey Shved.
"First when they had the list (of players to be in the game), I wasn't playing good and being me," Rubio said. "But now, lately, I've been more confident in me. And I'm happy to be there. That means I worked to be there, you know?"
Rubio said he would be able to play in the game and get some rest, too. He said he's going to go to Houston on Friday, play in the game that night, then return to the Twin Cities Saturday morning. "I'll get to rest a couple days, because we don't have a game until Wednesday," Rubio said. "Saturday morning I'm gone. It's fun to be there, especially with Alexey there, too. We can have fun."
Meanwhile, Chase Budinger continues his work to get back from Nov. 13 surgery to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee. Budinger has been doing some jump shooting after practice and was doing lateral movement exercises this morning.
Kahn said he expects Budinger back in March. "But not in early March," Kahn said. "And I wouldn't hazard anything beyond that. As always is the case when people are in these significant rehab periods, there could always, God forbid, be a setback. He hasn't had one yet. So he is doing more. I'm hopeful by the end of next week he may even be cleared to run on the court. But let's see what happens. There is more work to be done. His quadriceps needs to be strengthened more still."
--Kahn said Brandon Roy, trying to come back from a chronically sore right knee, might start doing some basketball individual workouts this weekend, though that decision will rest with Roy. "My sense is he's starting to feel a little bit better," Kahn said. (But) as I said in late December, if it happens it happens, and we're not planning on it."

IFMI Reports First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
PHILADELPHIA and NEW YORK, May 10, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Institutional Financial Markets, Inc. (NYSE MKT:IFMI), a financial services firm specializing in credit-related fixed income investments, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Adjusted operating loss was $5.6 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to adjusted operating income of $4.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2012, and adjusted operating loss of $4.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The current quarter was unfavorably impacted by an unrealized mark-to-market loss on the Company's Star Asia investment of $6.0 million, primarily driven by weakening of the Japanese Yen during the quarter. Without the $6.0 million mark-to-market loss, IFMI would have generated $0.4 million of adjusted operating income in the first quarter of 2013. Adjusted operating income (loss) is not a measure recognized under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). See Note 1 on page 2.
"While IFMI's first quarter financial results were significantly impacted by an unfavorable mark-to-market loss on our Star Asia investment, we are emboldened by the fact that absent this non-cash mark, we would have otherwise been modestly profitable at the adjusted operating income level," said Daniel G. Cohen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IFMI. "While we also saw reduced trading volumes in the first quarter, our prudent cost management positively impacted our performance, as non-compensation operating expenses decreased $1.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2012. Discounting the mark-to-market loss that reduced our revenues for the first quarter, we believe we are well positioned to deliver improving results over the next three quarters. We believe our expanded leadership team and additional capital will increase our ability to grow shareholder value. Overall, when considering the impact of our Star Asia results, I am enthused."

Visa: Everywhere You Want a Fee
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Bank of America's (BAC) plan to begin charging $5 a month to debit card customers is unlikely to mean much to Visa (V) since its fee footprint is tied to so many other transactions, according to industry analysts.
The nation's largest bank will begin charging a $5 monthly fee to customers who use debit cards to make purchases early in 2012, seeking to recapture lost revenue from the Durbin Amendment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which curbs the interchange fees banks charge to merchants when debit card purchases are processed.
So what will this mean to Visa?
"As a Bank of America customer, you're captive to Visa debit," said FBR Capital Markets analyst Scott Valentin.Some customers will simply accept the $5 monthly fee and do nothing. Some customers will switch to using their credit cards for more purchases, which will push Visa's "debit card revenue down on the margin," but "if the spending moves over to a Visa credit card, Visa is ahead," according to Valentin, since credit card processing is more profitable than debit card processing. Valentin added that "some consumers might move to prepaid cards, which would avoid the $5 monthly fees, but Visa would prefer that too." Of course, "there will be some leakage to other networks as customers move away from debit," but on the whole, it seems reasonable that a good portion of consumers used to the convenience of using a card rather than cash, will make the switch to credit cards, benefiting the largest card processor. Stifel Nicolaus analyst Christopher Brendler said that Bank of America's move "is a negative for Visa and to a certain extent MasterCard (MA), but not a huge one," and that "the question is what it does to consumer behavior." When discussing Bank of America's reaction to the Durbin Amendment Brendler said "I never thought this would be the path they would choose," since "debit is profitable for them, even at reduced rates." Other large banks, including Wells Fargo (WFC) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) have announced upcoming debit card fees or have begun testing fees in limited markets. While the banks are looking to squeeze out revenue as Dodd-Frank hits their bottom lines and interest rate spreads contract, the forecast for Visa is bright and sunny.

Defense Budget:
Funding for Southeastern Europe Defense Ministerial Initiatives
NSIAD-00-113R: Published: Mar 16, 2000. Publicly Released: Mar 16, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Department of Defense's (DOD) funding for activities sponsored by the Southeastern Europe Defense Ministerial during fiscal years 1999 and 2000 and the sources of this funding.
GAO noted that: (1) DOD funded about $739,000 in activities sponsored by the Southeastern Europe Defense Ministerial from October 1998 through February 2000; (2) the largest and most recent approved expenditure, $500,000, was to fund use of an information management system by members of the Ministerial who are also members of the Partnership for Peace program; (3) in 1994, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) started the Partnership for Peace program, a cooperative effort for non-NATO-member countries, to promote democracy, expand cooperation, and strengthen relationships between NATO and non-NATO-member countries; (4) the remaining $239,000 was used to transport eligible Ministerial members which are part of the Partnership for Peace program, as requested by the Ministerial, to DOD-sponsored planning seminars in Bulgaria, Slovenia, and Macedonia and to support Partnership for Peace program members' participation in a civil-military emergency preparedness workshop hosted by Bulgaria for the Ministerial; (5) because DOD has indicated that it will fund some future Ministerial member participation in U.S. European Command exercises, further U.S. financial support is likely, but DOD has not determined the timing and amounts of such support; (6) all funds spent to date came from DOD appropriations made available to facilitate participation in the Partnership for Peace program; and (7) according to a DOD official, DOD makes determinations on a case by case basis on whether activities requested by the Ministerial are eligible for funding under the Partnership for Peace Program.

ABC News' Sarah Parnass reports:
Representatives on both sides of the aisle have criticized the bipartisan debt ceiling deal announced Sunday night, but none so colorfully as Representative Emanuel Cleaver.
Taking issue with the bill's cuts to social programs, Cleaver, D-Mo., called the bill a "Satan sandwich."
"This is a Satan sandwich. There's no question about it," Cleaver said, "because there's nothing inside this sandwich that the major religions of the world will say deals with protection for the poor, the widows, the children. It's not in here."
Though Tea Party representatives have said the bill does not go far enough, Cleaver indicated that it represented a much greater surrender by Democrats than Republicans.

Takara Tomy i-SOBOT named smallest humanoid robot in production
The i-SOBOT robot from toymaker Takara Tomy managed to score an honor upon its release — i-SOBOT is the 2008 Guinness Book of World Record's smallest humanoid robot in production, standing at just six and a half inches tall.
Just because it's small doesn't mean the i-SOBOT skimps on being a fun toy, however. It has 200 different phrases to say (our favorite: a hammy monologue while the robot fakes a slow Western-style death) and its 17 servos, coupled with a gyro sensor for stability, enables the i-SOBOT to take on an impressive number of poses. Check out the gallery below for some of our picks. i-SOBOT can be controlled and programmed with a remote, and can recognize 10 different voice commands.
At $350, though, this toy will probably only find itself in the hands of big kids with big wallets. Click through for a snazzy video showcase of the i-SOBOT.

The RSPB is appealing for volunteers from West Sussex and Hampshire to help show members of the public the famous Peregrine Falcons at Chichester Cathedral.
The charity's Date with Nature project has grown in success each year, delighting local people and visitors from further afield who come to watch the birds of prey as they raise their young.
This year the RSPB will be based at the Cathedral from 13 April through to July.
As well as pointing out the birds as they perch on the corners of the spire and fly in and out overhead, visitors will be shown live footage from the Peregrines' nest.
This will be the 12th consecutive year they have bred on the building and RSPB staff and volunteers will be on hand to enthuse people with stories about the history and lives of these magnificent birds.
Molly Dailide, of RSPB South East, said: "Volunteering at RSPB events is a great way to get involved with our conservation work. You don't need to be an expert – just passionate about wildlife and good with people."
The conservation charity is looking for people of all ages and backgrounds to help with the project this year.
You'll help people to get the most out of their visit by providing information and helping them to get great views of the birds from the cathedral grounds using binoculars and spotting-scopes. Training will be provided, so no previous experience is necessary.
Ms Dailide added: "If you can help out during the project for a couple of days a month, or even several days a week as some past volunteers have done, I'd love to hear from you."
This is an opportunity to meet people and inspire them to learn about birds and other wildlife while making a genuine contribution to conservation and spending quality time with the fastest animals on Earth.
You'll be following in the footsteps of many others who have supported the charity over the years. The RSPB was founded by volunteers in 1889 and today more than 17,500 people help the charity by giving their time for free.
Those wishing to volunteer should contact Molly Dailide on 07713 392175 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com before 11 March.
The RSPB speaks out for birds and wildlife, tackling the problems that threaten our environment. We rely upon memberships and donations to fund our work. Nature is amazing - help us keep it that way. More...

A family member of mine has this condition and he gives himself a shot everyday. He does very well with it and takes no other meds. It is prescribed by his rhuematologist. I do not know the name of it. Sorry I wish I could be more help. I will try to find out the name for you.

I have spina bifida occulta as well. Degenerative disc disease and 2 herniated discs. I take Lortab,10 mg, and valium as needed. But nothing ever gets rid of the stiffness and lower back pain. I use a 10's unit, sometimes this gives me a bit of relief for awhile. I wish I could offer more advise... but pain medication doesn't help enough. Soma works good at night time, but it is getting hard to get without going to a pain clinic. I wish I could give you the magic answer, but I can't. Discuss the options with your Doctor about what you could take to alleviate some of the pain and stiffness. It couldn't hurt to try... Good luck and best wishes!

Down the stretch they come in Mississippi, and Governor Phil Bryant weighs in with a powerful case for reform. The bill will pass or die in the next two days, so stay tuned….
(Guest Post by Matthew Ladner)
Mississippi legislators are considering a statewide choice program for children with special needs. Florida pioneered choice for special needs students in 1999, passing a pilot program that went statewide in 2001. Since 2001, all of Florida's special needs students attending public schools have been eligible to take a McKay Scholarship to a public or private school of their choice.
More than a decade later, we find that 6 percent of special needs students use the McKay Scholarship Program directly by using it to transfer. Special needs students choosing to remain in the public school system however still benefit from the McKay program because it is there if they need it.
The charts below show that special needs students in Florida have made remarkable academic progress since McKay went into law. The first chart shows the progress for public school students with disabilities in Florida and Mississippi on 4th grade reading:
Today Florida children with disabilities are now more than twice as likely to show basic reading skills as their peers in Mississippi. You find the same pattern in the 8th grade reading scores:
Math scores show the same trend: narrow gaps opening to larger gaps over time. The point of these charts is not to brag about Florida, but to note a crucial source of improvement for special needs students in Mississippi. In the end, choice is no threat to the public schools in Mississippi but rather an opportunity. Florida's public schools have more students (including students with disabilities), spend more and employ more people than before the onset of choice programs. That's not the issue. The most important thing of all for special needs children is that the public school system now does a much better job in meeting their needs.
Florida enacted multiple reforms during this same period, so we cannot attribute all of these improvements to the choice program. Statistical analysis of variation in trends among special needs scores in individual Florida schools however confirmed that the McKay program contributed to the improvement. Florida's other reforms are also available for consideration.
Choice is not a threat to public schools in Mississippi, but rather a mechanism of the improvement of outcomes to the most disadvantaged students. We can and should judge policies in large part with regard to how they treat the most vulnerable in our society. Look at the charts above and ask yourself the following question: if you had to be born as a child with a disability, would you want to grow up in Florida's system of choice or Mississippi's system of school assignment by zip code? Would you want choice, or something much closer to "take it or leave it" in your schooling?
If you answered that question the way I expect, the next question is: what can Mississippi do to move ahead of Florida?
The answer- Mississippi should consider an even more advanced form of choice for special needs students than McKay. Choice for special needs students has the ability to empower parents to seek out the right type of education to meet the specific needs of their individual child. The Mississippi proposal draws inspiration from the Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Accounts program, which is a refinement of the McKay concept. This allows parents to choose to educate their child through a variety of different methods, including public and private schools, certified private tutors and therapists, online education programs and college/university courses. The idea is to give parents the maximum amount of flexibility possible so that they can deliver a customized education to meet the exact needs of their child.
When the federal government passed what became the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act in the 1970s, a million special education students nationwide had been denied access to public schools. That was wrong, and IDEA stands as an important pillar of civil rights legislation. The law however promised an "Individual Education Plan" for every special needs child, and it failed to deliver the substance of this promise for far too many children. More than a decade ago, the center-left Progressive Policy Institute and the center-right Thomas B. Fordham Foundation used the analogy of a maze to describe the bog of federally mandated paperwork emphasizing process over results to the frustration of both educators and parents.
You can't really have an individual education plan without choice over who delivers what sort of education. Today it is time for the states, not the federal government, to take the lead in truly delivering the ability for parents to deliver a really meaningful individual education plan for students. Students, parents and the public school system will all win as a result.

Jay has already linked to Pat Wolf's devastating knockout of the special ed smear campaign against Milwaukee vouchers. However, it's such a long piece (there's so much falsehood to debunk!) that I want to make sure the most important points don't get overlooked:
Pat also points out, against the USDOJ's claim that private schools in the voucher program are covered by Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, that the U.S. Supreme Court has twice reviewed and let stand Wisconsin court rulings finding that voucher schools are not government contractors, and students in the program are "parentally placed" not "government placed" in their schools, so the schools are not within reach of laws that apply to government services. In my (non-lawyer) opinion that does not make it a slam dunk that the voucher schools aren't covered by ADA, because the ADA is such a badly crafted law. But it's still worth remembering.
Update: This post has been modified because the original version didn't state point #2 quite right. My apologies!
Pat Wolf does a beautiful job on the Ed Next blog of dispensing with a series of false claims about school choice and disabilities in Milwaukee. You should really read it. It's a work of art.

At Brookings, Matthew Chingos looks at a huge swath of CCD data and finds no evidence that charter schools increase racial segregation. No surprise there, as readers of Win-Win already know. It's been a while since I had occasion to trot out the old race card graphic – my sense is that the segregation talking point has had its day in the sun.
In Education Finance and Policy, Rajashri Chakrabarti looks at Florida school data and contributes the latest in a line of studies showing that schools act in self-interested ways, responding to structural incentives, when classifying students into special programs. Chakrabarti finds that schools threatened with vouchers due to low test scores increased the classification of students as Limited English Proficient, removing them from the pool of tested students; however, schools did not increase classification of students into special education, where they would become eligible for McKay vouchers. The obvious conclusion? All students should be eligible for vouchers – then there's no system to game.
PS Sorry for the awkward headline – I couldn't come up with anything snappier or any pop culture references. Uh . . . release the kraken!
(Guest Post by Matthew Ladner)
I had the opportunity to testify to the Senate Education committee in Texas today on the experience with parental choice programs for special needs children. One of the items of discussion was the following chart:
This phenomenon is often discussed regarding special education, but seldom quantified. In 2004 however officials from Education Service Center 20 (a regional body roughly covering school districts in the San Antonio area) provided the following chart to quantify the additional cost per special education student in a number of school districts. There were costs above and beyond those covered by state funding, and thus represented in effect a transfer from district general funds into special education funds on a per special education student basis.
Stanford economist Caroline Hoxby also testified to this interim committee in 2004, and she made the point that since school districts have been complaining that states don't cover the full costs of special education for decades, that they have no cause to complain about students leaving with their (inadequate) funding. Districts can either keep these funds in the general education effort, or spend more on their remaining special education students (approximately 5% of Florida special education students directly utilize McKay but far more benefit from it) but either way they benefit.
Yesterday I chronicled the unreasonable (and unfortunately predictable) reaction of the teachers union to my WSJ op-ed suggesting that there were trade-offs between hiring more teachers and quality teachers. I also received a number of reasonable, but still mistaken, responses attempting to explain the 50% increase in the teaching workforce without improved results by blaming special education and English Language Learners (ELL). A letter in yesterday's WSJ succinctly stated the argument:
In 1970 many disabled and mentally handicapped students were denied access to public education. Today these students are guaranteed a public education until the age of 22. Also in 1970, about 5% of the U.S. population was foreign born, compared with about 20% today. Many of these children enter the education system with limited English skills and are provided services to improve their mastery of English. Such services were unheard of in many parts of the country even 20 years ago.
It is obvious from these statistics that many more special-education teachers and English-language specialists are counted in the teaching profession now as compared to 1970. Mr. Greene claims that math and reading scores of 17-year-olds are unchanged since 1970. I would submit that the teaching resources devoted to students, excluding teachers of special education and limited-English speakers, is close to unchanged since 1970.
There is a plausibility to this argument, but special education and ELL can neither account for the 50% increase in teachers nor can they be ignored when considering the stagnation in student achievement. Special education teachers constitute about 14% of the teaching work force and disabled students constitute about 13% of the student population. So, if we imagine, as the letter writer does, that many of these disabled students were denied access to public education, then the addition of teachers was roughly commensurate with the addition of disabled students. Excluding all disabled students and teachers, the reduction in student-teacher ratios between 1970 and 2012 would still have been roughly from 22 to 15. If you wanted to use as the starting point 1980, 5 years after the start of federally mandated special education, the ratio still drops from 18.6 to 15.2.
But of course not all disabled students were denied access to schools before federal legislation. Outside of the most severely disabled, the bulk of students now classified as disabled would have been present in school in 1970; they just weren't being served very well. So, if we added a large number of special education teachers to better educate students who were always present but who we now consider disabled, it should have resulted in much better outcomes for those students. But overall outcomes are flat.
There is a disturbing habit among people who make the argument represented in the WSJ letter to act as if special education is a black hole from which no progress can or should be expected. Yes, they say, we hired more teachers, but that was for more special education students and you couldn't expect that to result in any progress. But this is entirely wrong. Special education can and should result in greater academic achievement, so even teachers added in that category should be contributing to better aggregate outcomes.
All of these arguments also hold true for ELL except that ELL is much smaller and involves fewer teachers than special education. A critic could note that the world has given the US public education system more ELL students because of higher immigration, although the same cannot really be said of special education. Other than the exclusion of severely disabled students, whose numbers are quite small, the distribution of disabilities in the public school student population should be roughly the same today as it was back then given that most disabilities are genetic in their origin. It's just that we didn't serve many of those students well in the past and therefore should expect that achievement should be rising as we devote more resources to them. More teachers should be producing more achievement.
And yes, more ELL students might require more teachers to produce the same achievement. But in other ways our student population has become easier to educate. Unless students have become significantly more difficult to educate across all dimensions, it's not possible to explain away the facts that we have 50% more teachers without any meaningful improvement in outcomes.
Several years ago Greg Forster and I addressed this in our Teachability Index, in which we tracked 16 indicators of the advantages or disadvantaged that students bring to school and found that overall students are somewhat less challenging to educate now than they used to be. And for a forthcoming book I have updated and improved upon that analysis and still find that students are somewhat easier to educate, so it should not require many more teachers to get the same results.
We can't blame special ed and ELL to account for the lack of productivity in education as we've hired more teachers. The problem is that we've ignored the trade-offs between teacher quantity and teacher quality.

I've figured out that if you do
/spawnpoint it changes your spawnpoint for the LAN world. So every time I die, I spawn where I want to. And I don't have to use my bed! I'd like to learn other commands, what are they?
I've figured out that if you do
All the commands are available when you type / and keep pressing Tab. It will loop through all available commands. And if you are good enough, you can figure out what a command does and how to use it by judging from its name.
You can also use the command
There's no explicit need of looking up the Minecraft Wiki every time you want to use a command unless you are really messed up and need some clarifications on the commands. I believe a quick glance of the wiki page will be enough.
All the commands are listed on the wiki, along with which game modes they work in.

Lady Gaga's A-Rod Pep Talk Precedes Her Hip Surgery
So did Lady GaGa's A-Rod pep talk help at all? We'll probably never know, but the news is she's undergone surgery to fix the problem which lead to the cancellation of many dates on her tour.
A-Rod – the professional baseball player, real name Alex Rodriguez – reportedly sat down with Gaga for a chat about the affliction, which he too has suffered. He apparently was able to calm her down prior to going under the knife. "As they wheeled me into surgery...I thought about all of your pain and perseverance, your unique family situations, school environments, health issues, homelessness, identity struggles," wrote Lady Gaga, as she so often connects with her fans. "So I thought to myself, I'm alive, I'm living my dream, and this is just a bump in the road. I'm grateful because this is temporary, and for some it is not. You have changed my life. I love you and am proud to be a part of your lives. If you can do it, I can do it too, and if we stick together we can get through anything. Love, Gaga"" she added.
Lady Gaga arriving back at her hotel in Amsterdam 2012
Prior to surgery, she wrote on Twitter, "Going in for surgery now. Thank you so much for sending me love and support. I will be dreaming of you." The singer was forced to cancel her "Born This Way" tour due to a labral tear in her right hip.

The Award-Winning Series of Reports on Influence of Money in Politics Led By ABC's Brian Ross
ABC News investigates the behind-the-scenes intersections of money and politics at the Republican and Democratic national conventions with its "Money Trail" series. The award-winning series of reports led by ABC's chief investigative correspondent Brian Ross tracks how the powerful and wealthy do business in what has been called the engine of corruption in American politics. Author and Harvard Professor Lawrence Lessig describes the scene to ABC News as "plain sight influence-peddling on a scale never previously seen. There's no shame in what they're doing. There is pride."
Reports from both the RNC and DNC will appear across all ABC News broadcasts and platforms including "Good Morning America," "World News with Diane Sawyer," and "Nightline" as well as on ABCNews.com and Yahoo! News. The first report "Secret 'Menu' Details Perks for Big Democratic Donors" is currently posted on ABCNews.com.
Ross and the ABC investigative team first launched the Emmy award-winning "Money Trail" series at the 1996 conventions.

Now, I am not one to usually promote hiding ads (because without them this website wouldn't have a reason to exist) but for those who want it, here it is.
Auto Hide Toolbars
Want to hide the pesky toolbars in Firefox? The add-on, Toolbar Autohide, enables automatic hiding of toolbars (tabs, navigation, bookmarks and add-on bar) via context menu options. When hiding, toolbars will appear when the mouse is at the top of the window or when activated by keyboard (e.g. Ctrl-l, Ctrl-k, F10).
Disable New Tab Page's Thumbnail Capture
Tired of Firefox's new tab page reveling what you are looking at? With the holiday season upon us and with more and more people shopping online, that is reasonable. You can disable this feature though. That way you can keep your browsing history a secret!
Panic Button
Afraid somebody is peeking at your browsing habits behind you? Don't have time to shut down Firefox the right way? The Panic Button extension for Firefox provides the quickest way to hide all the browser buttons in a stroke of the mouse.
Hide Twitter Retweets
Tired of seeing retweets on Twitter? If you are using Firefox, there is a simple to use add-on that will solve your problems. Tweet-hider will hide replies and retweets in the user profile and will only show you unique content.
Minimalist Facebook
Want to give Facebook a more minimalist look and feel? If so, I have found the perfect Greasemonkey script for you to install and use. The simply named, Minimalist Facebook userscript removes several annoying (and space wasting) features of the Facebook website.
Hide and Recover the Firefox Menu Bar
This is a handy browsing trick I just learned about recently. Usually in my Firefox browser, I have the menu bar hidden, to save on screen real estate. However, there comes a time (every so often) when I need to get it back. Rather than un-hiding it, getting what I need, then hiding it again – I have found a much quicker way to bring the menu bar back for just a minute.
Hide the Firefox Titlebar for More Browsing Room
Find yourself looking for more browsing room in Firefox? Well the titlebar for the Firefox window does take up some space – so why not remove it? The Hide Caption Titlebar Plus is that add-on you need to make this happen.
Tab Utilities
Looking for a Firefox tab extension that does a little 'bit of everything? Look no further than Tab Utilities.
This add-on for Firefox really is your proverbial utility knife when it comes to controlling, editing or optimizing your browser tabs for better performance.
