The 3 Things That Can Help You Choose the Right Corner Couch for Your Home
Have you been thinking about buying a corner couch? Do you know of the best ways on how to determine a good corner couch? Have you tried all your best to identify the best places where you can be able to find a good corner couch? If not, there are many things that you should have in mind or try to understand before you can buy a corner couch. Most of the time, people fail to buy the right corner couch since they are not aware of what they should be looking out for in particular. As such, some of the things that you should make sure you are aware of when buying a corner couch are discussed below.
One of the most important things that you can do is to make sure that you find out from feedback given by other customers about a particular corner couch. Most people are not aware of the importance of having to go through feedback given by previous customers of a certain corner couch. They can help you to be able to understand the corner couch that you wish to buy. They know exactly what they bought and if they feel that it is not to the standards that they had been anticipating for, then there are chances that they will abandon the idea all together. It is therefore important to read the feedbacks provided by others.
Another important thing that you need to do is to go through the reviews given by other people. There is nothing more important than visiting sites which review different products. This is good for you since you will be able to know about the value and what you can anticipate for when you go shopping for your corner couch. Reviews are good since they go into depth to tell you exactly what materials are used to make a certain corner couch, the advantages and disadvantages of buying such kind of a seat. You should go through as many review sites as you can find so that you can understand what you are really looking for.
If you are not able to find information from customer feedback and reviews, then you should do your own research by visiting local stores. Here you will find people with knowledge about corner couches thus they can help you understand what you should be looking for. They can be able to guide you practically about everything that you need to know about a corner couch and the places that they are best suited to be placed or put.
There are many people who end up spending a lot of their money for nothing by buying a corner couch that does not last long enough. Others buy a corner couches for sale that does not give their sitting room the kind of a feeling that they had anticipated for in the beginning. To avoid such a mistake again, you should make sure that you are properly equipped with all the right information on what you should be looking for and why.

As long as I have been writing about it, and cataloguing about 3000 polls from it, it is pretty stunning to me to say the following five words: the 2012 elections are over.
The confetti has now been swept up. The votes (well, most of them anyway) have been tallied. All that is left are the inevitable post-mortems.
This post-mortem comes from somewhere between anger and amusement. That's because the dominant theme is how much of the conventional wisdom about this election was ultimately, and profoundly, disproven by the judgment of the voters on Tuesday night.
For most of the past month, when writers on the left (here and elsewhere) criticized much of the media CW on this election as errant, those critiques were roundly dismissed, and even met with a level of annoyance. From my perspective, the most glaring example was the high-intensity hissyfit that many establishment journalists had on Twitter when those on the left accused them of basing their reportage on the perpetuation of campaign narratives, rather on the available evidence.
What the election proved, though, is in spite of their hypersensitivity, we were right and they were wrong. The swing states were never truly in doubt. The key swing states in the South were not lost to Obama. There was no "Mitt-mentum" from about October 15th onward. This was not a center-right electorate, or even really a centrist electorate.
In the final analysis, with a doff of the cap to former NFL coach Dennis Green, the 2012 election was what we thought it was. The reason folks like Nate Silver (and, for that matter, Markos Moulitsas) wound up looking like oracles is because they constructed their narrative around the data, and not the other way around, like far too many people did.
What follows are three of the more persistent bits of conventional wisdom, and how the results on election night ultimately, and forcefully disproved them.
(Continue reading below the fold)
MYTH #1: Within two weeks of the election, the presidential election was tied.
This one comes down to a simple definition of terms, but that didn't stop a huge proportion of the public conversation on the election from being errant.
If you look at a simple average of the national polling, then...yes...from about October 8th onward, the trial heats between President Obama and Mitt Romney were about even. Indeed, in the national polls, neither candidate had an edge of more than 1.5 percentage points from that point onward.
Average of released national polls, 2012 presidential election, October 1-November 5:However, as everyone who even has minimal knowledge of presidential politics already knows, that's not how you elect a president. And the polling on a state-by-state level was quite consistent. Which is why Nate Silver never had Mitt Romney any better than a 40 percent prospect for victory, and why he had Barack Obama as a 2-to-1 favorite, or better, for virtually that entire time period where the national polls were even.
Mon 10/1: Obama +3.7
Tue 10/2: Obama +3.3
Wed 10/3: Obama +4.4
Thu 10/4: Obama +4.0
Fri 10/5: Obama +3.0
Mon 10/8: Obama +0.4
Tue 10/9: Romney +0.6
Wed 10/10: Romney +0.8
Thu 10/11: Romney +1.3
Fri 10/12: Romney +1.0
Mon 10/15: Romney +0.9
Tue 10/16: Romney +1.2
Wed 10/17: Romney +0.2
Thu 10/18: Romney +1.2
Fri 10/19: Obama +0.1
Mon 10/22: Romney +0.2
Tue 10/23: Romney +0.8
Wed 10/24: Romney +0.1
Thu 10/25: Romney +1.3
Fri 10/26: Romney +1.0
Mon 10/29: Romney +0.4
Tue 10/30: Romney +0.1
Wed 10/31: Obama +0.7
Thu 11/1: Obama +0.6
Fri 11/2: Obama +0.1
Sun 11/4: Obama +1.5
Mon 11/5: Obama +1.1
CURRENT MARGIN: Obama +2.7
And, with actual votes to look at now, we finally understand that national-swing state polling disparity. Of course, some of us knew it all along. As Markos noted three weeks ago:
Romney's entire advantage in [the Gallup tracking] poll comes from a massive lead in the South. Now sure, some of that may be Florida, but the state-level polling certainly doesn't show that. So Romney is driving up big margins in Texas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Mississippi and other such presidentially irrelevant states? Good for him! I'm sure that'll be cold comfort as he loses the states that actually matter in the Midwest and West.The election proved Markos to be correct on this score. If you exclude the Southern states (which, for our purposes, we will define as: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida), the popular vote was even more lopsided:
NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE (as of 10 AM 11/10/12):What this means, essentially, is that while the national polls were close for most of October, the swing states were considerably less so, at least in any calculus that could get Mitt Romney to 270 electoral votes. Sure, individual data points surfaced here and there to give the Republican campaign hope, but if you took the state-by-state polling as a mass, there was never really a point at which Mitt Romney got any closer than about 2-3 percentage points from cobbling together a coalition of states that would land him the vital 270 electoral votes. Furthermore, that modest Obama advantage in the electoral college was incredibly durable.
Obama : 61,820,108 (50.54%)
Romney : 58,563,101 (47.88%)
Others : 1,927,014 (1.58%)
NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE OUTSIDE THE SOUTH (as of 10 AM 11/10/12):
Obama : 42,769,338 (53.95%)
Romney : 35,100,308 (44.28%)
Others : 1,405,601 (1.77%)
Another reason the national polls were errant: to use the most oft-overused and trite phrase of the election, many of them were...ahem...skewed. Which provides us with an excellent segue, as it were.
MYTH #2: The 2012 electorate was not the 2008 electorate.
Well, maybe there is a kernel of truth in that statement. As it happened, the 2012 electorate was actually incrementally better for Democrats than the 2008 one.
While the gap between Democrats and Republicans in the party ID of the exit polling was slightly narrower than in 2008 (D+6 instead of D+7), other indicators were even better for the Democrats. The 2012 electorate was less white (72% in 2012, 74% in 2008) and more liberal (25% in 2012, 22% in 2008) than the electorate that first sent Barack Obama to the White House.
The entire Unskewing phenomenon (which I took to task back in September) was predicated on the ultimately repudiated notion that the electorate had trended center-right between 2008-2012.
The problem with this article of faith among many conservatives, and a disturbing number of "impartial" journalists, was that it was based on two very faulty premises.
The first faulty premise was that the 2010 exit polls, which showed a dead-even D/R gap and a chasm between self-identified liberals and conservatives (20 percent liberal, 42 percent conservative), represented some kind of sea change in America's political trajectory. Seeing 2010 as a watershed election makes sense on some levels, but not on this one, for what should have been an obvious reason.
There were 40-45 million fewer voters in 2010 than there were in 2008.
It is universally assumed (and the data tends to back it up) that more habitual voters tend to be white and conservative. Ergo, if you know that you are going to get an additional crush of voters to the polls in a presidential election year, they are probably going to be a more Democratic-leaning constituency. Thus, basing any 2012 turnout assumptions on what happened in 2010 was unbelievably silly. But, as now seems evident, many conservatives (and some others, to be fair) saw 2010 as somewhat of a realigning election. This election, of course, disproved that pretty effectively.
The second faulty premise, meanwhile, was even more absurd.
The GOP poll deniers, led by Mr. Unskewed himself, seemed to presume the existence of two polling trends that, taken together, seemed entirely implausible. For one thing, hey scoffed at the notion that there could still be a sizable gap between self-identified Democrats and Republicans. At the same time, however, they also crowed that Mitt Romney had a lead (and, at times, a significant one) in the polls among Independent voters.
The conservative inability to put two-and-two together here was stunning. This is the quintessential example of having your cake, and wanting to eat it, too. These folks were steadfast in their insistence that Barack Obama's sheer awfulness had led to a 15-25 point swing with Independents (Obama carried Indies by 8 points in 2008), and at the same time led to millions of Americans either moving into the Republican Party or moving out of the Democratic Party.
What seemed infinitely more plausible, as many bright minds like David Karpf had noted, was that many conservatives, feeling their teabagging oats, had simply re-identified as Independents.
The exit polling seems to bear out Karpf's thesis. In the 2012 exit polls, Independents did indeed move markedly. An Obama edge of eight points in 2008 became a Romney edge of five points in 2012. This thirteen-point shift was far greater than the movement nationally (which should settle in, eventually, at a four-point shift between the two elections), which would seem to confirm the presence of the teabagger effect in the Independent electorate.
It also is confirmed, of course, by the fact that the D/R spread in 2012 was basically unchanged from 2008.
MYTH #3: Romney-mentum was robbed by Hurricane Sandy
This is one of those myths which makes sense in the realm of political science, but not as much in the actual data.
The "rally effect", the surge in support for government officials when they confront a crisis and deal with it, is a staple of American political science. And there is more than enough evidence to affirm that it usually does exist.
But the errancy here is not that Obama didn't get a lift from his handling of Hurricane Sandy. Indeed, that is indisputable: his approval rating in the exit polling was 54%, which is higher than it has been in virtually any polling in the past two years.
The mistake is in presuming that Romney was in a position to win before Sandy, and Sandy stalled his "momentum."
First things first: that graph of the national polling data above makes one thing evident. Whatever momentum Mitt Romney had already plateaued on or about the second "town hall" presidential debate. What's more: the very small national lead that Romney did briefly enjoy was already dissipating well before Sandy made landfall. Romney's peak lead (of 1.3 percent) came in the immediate wake of the Boca Raton presidential debate. From that point forward, his "lead" began to erode. Indeed, by the day that Sandy made landfall (October 29), Romney's "edge" was down to 0.4 points.
Here is a graphic representation of the same thing:
That is not to say that Sandy had no impact. Indeed, there was a palpable rally effect in several states. New Jersey performed, in the final analysis, about 5-7 points more Democratic at the presidential level than pre-election polling had indicated. Smaller, but very real, differences between the polls and the final results could also be seen in Maryland, New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. That may have also applied to Delaware, for all we know, but we don't actually know because no one ever bothered to poll Delaware.
But those half dozen states would not have too profound an impact on the national numbers, meaning that the idea that Sandy somehow rescued the Obama presidency is, in the final analysis, a media (and GOP operative) driven fallacy.
There are certainly more myths to be skewered. For example, at this point, any analyst who calls America a center-right nation probably should not be allowed to analyze American politics for a while (consider it the punditry equivalent of the penalty box). The three I've outlined here were among the most persistent, however, and the easiest to skewer. It is a given that partisan operatives will spin every election. One can only hope that journalists and analysts that should know better will have long memories of how badly the 2012 pre-election analysis was botched, by the time 2014 and 2016 roll around.

Our Rails 3 app uses facebook-omniauth, allowing users to authenticate with facebook.
It'd be nice to use as much of the web based authentication system as possible, so I tried following the answer (the one that hasn't been down-voted) to this SO question but I can't get it to work.
The gist of the answer is:
omniauth-facebook will handle requests to the callback endpoint with an access_token parameter without any trouble. Easy :)
So to test this, in my browser I'm issuing the following request:
But in my server log, I see:
(facebook) Callback phase initiated.
(facebook) Authentication failure! invalid_credentials: OAuth2::Error, :
{"error":{"message":"Missing authorization code","type":"OAuthException","code":1}}
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Is the fact that I'm trying to do this through the browser to test messing something up? Any other ideas on how I can reuse my www based auth logic for my ios app?
UPDATE: I'm not sure, but I'm following this guide in order to have multiple facebook omniauth strategies, one for www and another for mobile.

Fans everywhere like to complain about their team's picks in the NFL draft. Maybe their team drafted a quarterback instead of a cornerback, or maybe it fell for that highly overrated prospect. Most such complaints stay safely in the realm of sports radio or bar talk, but the Buffalo Bills recently endured a major legal headache after one fan sued the team in court over alleged Telephone Communications Protection Act (TCPA) violations. Despite seemingly innocuous infractions, settling the suit cost the Bills more than $3 million. Companies hoping to avoid the same fate should carefully choose the language of customer agreements and ensure communications with customers fit within these agreements.
The case stemmed from the Bills' fan alert program, through which the team texts game updates and breaking news to fans' mobile phones. The text program promises three to five text messages per week, but Bills' fan and program participant Jerry Wojchik alleged he received six or seven texts in some weeks. He filed suit in the Middle District of Florida on October 25, 2012, as a class action on behalf of all affected fans.
The TCPA (47 USC § 227, et seq.) regulates marketing calls and electronic communications. Among other FCC rules, the TCPA bans the use of text messages unless a user gives consent or the message regards an emergency. According to FCC rulings, the burden is on the defendant to demonstrate express consent within the meaning of the statute.
The Bills and Wojchik entered a proposed settlement deal on January 15, 2014. The deal gives prepaid debit cards to affected fans, redeemable at the Bills official merchandise store. The cards will be worth $57.50, $65.00, or $75.00, depending on the affected class member's tier. The court gave the deal preliminary approval on April 17, calling it fair, adequate, and reasonable. The settlement includes the following costs to the Bills: almost $2.5 million in gift cards; $5,000 to Wojchik, as the named lead plaintiff; more than half a million dollars attorneys' fees; and administrative costs.
The Bills are not the first professional sports team to be sued under the TCPA for electronic communications. A fan waged a similar TCPA action against the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2012. The language of the approval again proved important. There, the fan-plaintiff alleged that the Penguins promised no more than three texts per week. However, the team argued that in addition to the "maximum of 3 messages a week" language, the terms also included an asterisked footnote that "clearly state[d] that alerts go out after every game." Judge Consuelo B. Marshall of the Central District of California dismissed the case, favoring the Penguins' interpretation of the contract.
These cases demonstrate that companies seeking to send promotional messages to clients should draft the permission terms carefully and stick to them once drafted. Courts considering the issue have applied the terms literally, and even loyal sports fans may challenge seemingly innocuous violations in court. Now about that quarterback…

Qatar mall fire victim's kin seek repatriation help
COTABATO CITY—Relatives of one of the three overseas Filipino workers (OFW) who perished in the mammoth Villaggio Mall fire in Doha, Qatar, have appealed to President Benigno Aquino III to help them bring her remains home as soon as possible.
Luzviminda Soco said her family did not have the means to transport back home the body of her niece Julie Ann Soco, 25, who worked as an assistant teacher at the Gympanzee Nursery School in the mall, a daycare center catering to the large expatriate community.
Soco was one of the three Filipino nursery teachers who died of smoke inhalation from the fire, according to Department of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Raul Hernandez. The two other casualties were identified as Maribel Orosco and Margie Yecyec.
The blaze killed 19 people, 13 of them children.
"We appeal to President Aquino to please help bring back home our modern heroes who fought loneliness and hard work for the sake of their families," Luzviminda told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Soco, a resident of Barangay (village) Rosary Heights 2 here, was an undocumented OFW.
"She called through her mobile phone on Monday (May 28) afternoon appealing for help. 'The mall is on fire, please help us. We will all die here.' Those were her last words… we tried to call her back, to no avail," Luzviminda said.
Julie Ann, an only daughter, reportedly left in early 2010 to work abroad. Her mother, also an OFW, works in Egypt.
"It's only now that I learned she was undocumented. When I asked her about her deployment, she told me she was directly hired by a colleague who also hails from Cotabato City," she said.
Amy Crisostomo, Overseas Workers Welfare Administration-ARMM OIC, said that since Soco did not go through the legal employment process, she cannot avail of any financial assistance from the government agency.
Investigators, meanwhile, are carrying out extensive probes through the fire-damaged sections of the mall, but authorities have not announced the cause of the fire. Findings from the state-ordered inquest are expected within a week. Edwin Fernandez, Inquirer Mindanao and AP

Unicef and Clarks, the leading children's shoe retailer, have been in partnership since 2007. In that time, Clarks have contributed to transforming children's lives through shoeSHARE (formally known as Shoe Biz), gathering old or unwanted shoes at collection points in more than 450 Clarks stores nationwide. For every tonne of shoes, a donation is made to Unicef which goes towards education programmes around the world. To date, the partnership has raised just over £700,000!
More than 57 million children of primary school age are still not in education. This is just under the population of the UK. Clarks are helping Unicef to ensure that more children are able to go to school and have everything they need to have a brighter future.
Throughout the partnership, Clarks have been helping raise funds to ensure all children around the world have access to quality education in a child-friendly setting. Children have the right to learn and no later their location and through the partnership we have been able to provide the basics such as pens and pencils as well as work with governments to ensure children are able to go to school.
Four of the Clarks team visited Zambia in October 2011 to see first hand the work that Unicef are doing with help from ShoeShare.
"Unicef fights for the rights and equality of children, making sure their voices are heard", said one of the team. "Projects are sustainable so the money invested is all about the long term and it all goes towards providing a better education."
How to donate your shoes
Help ShoeShare and Unicef to reach even more children by donating your old or unwanted shoes at your nearest Clarks store. Your shoes will help to change children's lives. Visit www.clarks.co.uk/unicef for further information.

It's been "business as usual" for Angelina Jolie, who's been "doing great" since speaking about her double mastectomy publicly, her partner Brad Pitt told George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America Monday.
As we previously reported, Jolie last month revealed she'd undergone a double mastectomy earlier this year, after learning she carried a gene that left her with an extremely high chance of breast cancer.
PHOTOS: Angelina Jolie Hits The Red Carpet For First Appearance Since Revealing Surgery
Pitt, 49, said the Tomb Raider beauty, 38, has received many well wishes and kind thoughts since her brave admission in via a New York Times piece.
"When she wrote her piece, we had already come out the other end and we're feeling really good about it," Pitt said. "We're really surprised and moved by how many people are dealing with the same issue, or wondering about the same issue."
PHOTOS: Brad Pitt Shows Off A Different Side In Interview Magazine
Pitt said Jolie's "idea was that if someone could learn from her story, then she would love to share that … but it's just been a beautiful thing to watch and her focus now is that all people have access to the testing and know what they can do about it.

The marina where I winter haul has nominal depths of 3 1/2 feet at low tide. They regularly moor boats with 5 and 6 foot drafts in their field. Normally this results in boats with paint and gel coat ground off the bottom (the "mud" is of course filled with rocks, clams, barnacles, etc. .. VERY abrasive.) The yard doesn't mind as repairs for this type of damage is fast an easy - goop on some epoxy, cover with paint.
This past summer, a particularly bad storm sucked most of the water out of the harbor. Many boats bottomed out, hard. This winter, the array of damage is amazing - bent/broken rudders, keels ground down to bare fiberglass, big holes, fin keels bent, horizontal stabilzers broken & distorted. To say nothing of the unseen structural damage.
Go find a mooring with enough water for your boat.

I guess that depends on your definition of a render hit. With Kerkythea and it's big brother Thea, one has the choice of either using a biased render engine or an unbiased render engine.
For 99% of my renders I tend to use the unbiased engine. Time is not a major problem for me so I tend to get it set up ready to render, set it going, go to bed and when I wake up it's usually ready to save; if not I just let it render until I'm happy with the quality.
I'm no longer a slave to a production schedule. So I'm very relaxed v v how long it takes to clear. Unlike the younger generation who want it now!
The greater the pixel size the render is, generally the less number of passes it needs to clear although time wise some will still consider it impractical. For me it works. If I can wait for the end result of a render that took my computer 2.5 months to finish rendering from start to finish. 5 or 6/8 hours is nothing, a mere drop in the ocean.
On the other hand when I was test rendering the individual plants I had found on the web, I used the biased engine and it took just 3 ~ 5 seconds to produce the final render albeit was only about 1024 x800 or less. Many, many others only ever use the biased engine, as I said earlier, I really only ever use the unbiased engine.

On Monday, June 30, the highest courts in both New York and Colorado confirmed local municipalities' rights to regulate land use within their jurisdictions.

Migrating to Drupal
Drupal is often mentioned in discussions about blogging tools or Web-based forum software. Sure, you can run a blog or an on-line forum using Drupal, but that is only part of what Drupal can do. Drupal is better described as a framework that provides an infrastructure for on-line collaboration and communities. It can be used to run corporate Web sites, intranets, news portals and many other types of Web sites.
The Drupal Project has its roots in an internal message board system built by University of Antwerp student Dries Buytaert for his student dorm. In 2001, Dries released the software as an open-source project named Drupal (pronounced "droo-puhl"). Others started using Drupal and began contributing to the project. Drupal is built using open-source technologies: the PHP programming language and the MySQL or PostgreSQL databases. Licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), Drupal can be downloaded and used for free. As with many successful open-source projects, Drupal is maintained and developed by a thriving user and development community. Five years old in January 2006, Drupal has evolved into a robust content management platform.
Working at a Web development firm, we have successfully built many Web sites for our clients based on Drupal. In this article, we share what we have learned, and we tell the story of our most complex Drupal project to date.
Planetizen is a community Web site for urban planners, architects, developers, environmentalists and other professionals. It offers daily news summaries, editorials, jobs and many other services. Launched in 2000, Planetizen has grown into a popular Web site with a large international audience. To manage a constantly updated Web site, such as Planetizen, a content management system (CMS) is a must. We had built our own custom CMS using PHP and MySQL in 2000. As the Web evolved, we wanted to add new features, but doing so meant expensive in-house development. So, we began looking at alternatives.
By this time, numerous open-source CMS projects had matured and offered many of the features we wanted to add. Migrating to a pre-built open-source CMS made sense. We could cut down on development time, add the features we needed and benefit from all the advantages that come with using open-source software. Because we already had experience using PHP and MySQL, we searched for open-source CMSes built using those technologies. After evaluating and testing several different packages, we selected Drupal. (See "Seven Criteria for Selecting Open Source Content Management Systems" in the on-line Resources.)
Drupal has many of the features you would expect from a modern CMS, such as user management; access control; work flow; separation of content, presentation and logic; and Web-based editing and administration. Drupal appealed to us for many reasons—here are the top five:
5) Sensible URLs and URL aliasing: many CMSes generate long, convoluted URLs that are difficult to share via e-mail or over the phone. Drupal arguably generates the sleekest URLs in the CMS world. Most Drupal URLs are in the format http://www.planetizen.com/node/156. Also, Drupal's URL aliasing feature makes it is easy to create URLs that make sense to readers. Using URL aliasing, the above URL can be mapped to http://www.planetizen/about/faq.
4) Syndication and aggregation: community Web sites, such as Planetizen, benefit from information flowing in and out of the site. Content stored in Drupal easily can be syndicated to readers or other Web sites using RSS feeds. Also, a news "aggregator" to pull in syndicated content via RSS feeds is built in to Drupal.
3) Modular architecture: Drupal's functionality is organized into modules that can be switched on and off. This approach makes it possible to build different kinds of Web sites with Drupal. If we were going to invest a lot of time into learning a CMS, it might as well be one that can be adapted for other projects as well.
2) Developer-friendly: we anticipated the need to customize any CMS we selected. We felt comfortable with Drupal's elegantly designed architecture and the consistency of the code. It was relatively easy to understand a feature and start making modifications. Features such as the devel module that displays database queries and variables for each page later proved to be invaluable in migrating to Drupal.
1) Taxonomy: our single-most important reason for selecting Drupal was its powerful taxonomy system for categorizing content. It is possible to create a set of descriptive terms and associate content with those terms. The taxonomy system makes it possible to adapt Drupal for a diverse set of content management needs.

Ain't computers great!
All the new OSs and windowing systems are oriented towards content consumption instead of content production.

State Bank of India (SBI) on Saturday announced it will get Rs. 3,004 crore as part of the government's capital infusion plan for the current fiscal.
The fund infusion will enable the bank to support national and international banking operations undertaken through its subsidiaries and associates, SBI said in a BSE filing. "The central board of the bank in its meeting today has approved infusion of capital funds in the bank by the Government of India to the tune of Rs 3,004 crore during 2012-13," it said.
The capital will be infused by way of preferential allotment of equity shares to the government. The proposal is subject to necessary regulatory approvals, it said.
Last fiscal, the government had infused Rs. 7, 900 crore in SBI to increase the Tier-I capital of the country's largest bank.
Following the capital infusion in March 2012, the government holding in SBI rose to 61.58 per cent from 59.4 per cent. The government approved infusion of Rs. 12,517 crore in around 10 state-owned banks by March.

The USTA wants self rates by whatever means necessary
Just venting ... feel free to pile on or call me out, whatever works for you
For the third year in a row we are advancing to sectionals knowing we are at a severe disadvantage because all of our players are established league players. On the other 5 teams there are a total of 24 self rated self rated players. One team has 8 self rated players on a roster of 15. The self rated players at sectionals have cumulative record of 132 - 18. Most of those 18 loses were from 3 self rated players on perhaps the worst team. If you take out those three players the cumulative record of the self rates is an astounding 127-6.
How is it that the USTA could create a system where long time established consumers have little or no chance to to earn their flagship product ... a National Championship? Instead they have a system that rewards teams who bring in self rated players already playing at, or above the top of the rating level.
Maybe this is what it is all about ... bringing in new players into the USTA by whatever means necessary.
Yes I had a lot of time on my hands today and FWIW every one of our players has been a computer rated 4.0 for at least 4 years.
Sure you didn't want to type 'USTA wants $$$$ by whatever means necessary'?
Yep, you are the consistent revenue stream the USTA banks on. They know they've got you so the only way to grow their business is to entice new customers. By whatever means they can justify. Self rates aren't going to be discouraged.
Same reason companies give you half off cable for 12 months, waive activation fees, etc, etc. They've got you and you are just f'd.
lol @ the guy going to sectionals for the THIRD straight year *****ing about how he can't compete.
How do you think all the teams in your local league, regional and state feel about you winning the state championship three years in a row?
never rlly understood the point of national champs anyway
go to all that effort 2 prove u r the best players in the country not 2 be rated at the next level up
any1 who makes sectionals 3yrs in a row are prolly sandbaggers anyway, just smart enough about it 2 avoid gettin bumped
We are a good team that has many players who should easily get moved up in November. Everyone of those players has a well earned 4.0 rating that has gotten better over the last 4 years while we were together ... yet we are going into this sectional tourney just like the last two. Chances are a team with at least 4 self rated players in the starting lineup will go to nationals. Compare that to us ... a team that has been dominant and together for several years that likely has no chance.
This is not shocking at all. From 2006 to 2009, I was a part of several league championship teams that advanced to Sectionals using veteran League players. During that time period, the team that beat us at Sectionals and advanced to Nationals was always stocked with 4 or more self rated studs (who, coincidently, were also the best players on those teams). Over those 4 seasons, the accummulative records of these self rated players were very similar to what you have calculated for your region.
Both I and my co-captain wrote numerous e-mails to the USTA, and talked with officials about this in person whenever we had the chance. To fix the problem, we suggested a modification that self rated players would be able to play in the local league, but would be ineligible for the playoffs in the first season. Another idea was to make it so self rated players would have to a minimum of 6 or 8 matches before being playoff eligible (making it more likely that they would strike out). Either way, we thought this might help weed out the ringers... because the cheating with the self rating system is a disgrace! However, here we are several years later, and nothing has changed.
For what it's worth, I took on 3 self rated players this year for the first time on my 4.5 team. (If you can't beat them, join them... right?) Two of them had played D1 tennis in the 80's and another was ranked #1 in our section in his age group. However, all three of my players were over the age of 42 (which is how they were able to get 4.5 ratings - we didn't cheat). They were all key contributors to our wins, and my team made the local playoffs again. Unfortunately, another local team stocked themselves with 4 self rated players, all under the age of 30, who seemed to be 5.0+. One of them was a recent graduate of a ranked D3 team, who I would have filed a grievance against if they had played him against us (he was saved for the final). In addition, they have a huge cheater on their team that self rated at 4.0 a couple seasons ago despite a couple state high school championships and a good D1 college career, and now has an untouchable computer rating. The USTA knows about that guy because a grievance was filed, but they refused to act on it because of his computer rating (although they acknowledged that he never should have been allowed to self rate at 4.0). It was bitter to lose against those guys, but I figure they will all be bumped to 5.0 next year, where my guys will still be at 4.5. Besides, since most of my team is 40+, I'm looking forward to that division next year (where hopefully there will be less self rating abuse).
On that note, I'm just curious how many of these self rated ringers you've researched are under the age of 40?
My guess is that it's close to 90% or more.
Since they will then have no chance of making playoffs, that will mercifully free them of all this nonsense, and allow them to focus on enjoying good challenging regular-season matches.
However, after reading about how we must be sand baggers ... I went back and found that everyone one of our starting lineup played and won at least 1 match at 4.5 this year. Several of us more than one.
Now, perhaps some of us should have been moved up earlier, but everyone one of us is trying to challenge ourselves and get moved up. No one on our team is playing to lose in other sections and all the players that matter are actually playing and winning while playing up at the next level.
We only have two under 40 (singles). I have always thought that the senior division is less filled with the self rate scourge ... I too am looking forward to the new age groupings.
i really dont see the point in gettin bent outta shape about one particular vagary of a system that is inherently stupid. the idea of a national championships for a league where by definition the best ppl shouldnt be playin in it is ridiculous. u kinda need to accept that premise from the outset
As for a playoff wait for self rates between 3.5 - 4.5 yes.
And I still stand by my point - if he truly feels the USTA is flawed (and he'll get no complaints from me), he should take a year off and create his own league. He has plenty of equally matched players - might be refreshing. And send a small message to the USTA.
I played a guy Sunday at 4.0, my rating and I should honestly be a 3.5. The guy I played against has a backhand like Tommy Haas ,
serve like Isner, and was a self rated add on to his team. What a shock. His team already had a guy DQ'd mid season who had self rated. The score was 6-1, 6-3, only because he purposely hit 4 double faults in one game and started obviously tanking points in the second set. If Usta is telling me Im a 4.0, this guy was at least a 5.0. Usta ratings blow.
how do you see if they are self rated?
It was the first season he ever played USTA.
South Jersey is in the same boat as you with a team with few self-rates and almost all starters B-rated. That should be a fun match.
And I have it on good authority that the Philly team will be a mere shell of the team that swept districts.
