PORTLAND, Ore. -- The 7-year-old girl who fell from the Sellwood Bridge is in the hospital but authorities said Sunday that her condition was improving.
Portland police still haven't revealed the exact details of how she and her 4-year-old brother ended up on the bridge and then in the Willamette River around 1 a.m. Saturday.
Their mother faces an aggravated murder charge in the death of her son.
Amanda Jo Stott-Smith, 31, lived with her husband and three kids in a suburban Tualatin home for the past two years.
Neighbors said their life seemed "wonderful."
"She was always really outgoing and would talk to you.Everything seemed wonderful.She even brought me food one time.The family sure seemed to be nice people," Ray Freauf said.
People living on houseboats near the bridge recalled hearing " chilling screams" from the river's current early Saturday morning.
One Good Samaritan scrambled to a boat and rescued the kids, but 4-year-old Eldon Smith was already dead.
Gary Scott used to see the kids playing as he took his daily walk through the Tualatin neighborhood.
"This little girl floating like that for a half hour and finally being able to get someone's attention --it's absolutely mind-boggling to me that she was able to survive," he said.
Records show Stott-Smith had recently filed for divorce. Neighbors say she moved out of this Tualatin neighborhood several weeks ago.
"The last time I saw her she seemed very tired and a little frazzled, but she was always very nice," said Merle Thomas, a neighbor.
The kids used to play in front of neighborhood homes every evening, acquaintances said. Nothing seemed amiss at home.
"I don't understand. I just don't understand" Freauf said. "I mean, I went through a divorce and children are the very last thing you would hurt."
Stott-Smith's estranged husband filed a missing persons report when his children went missing Friday.
The kids may have been at their grandparent's Southeast Portland home with Stott-Smith, according to neighbors.
Lance Dunning, who lives near the grandparents, said he saw Stott-Smith there on Thursday or Friday, with some children.
Dunning added his neighbors are wonderful people and hoped people would pray for them during this unthinkable time.
A woman at the grandparents address declined comment but said they are working with police.
Records show Stott-Smith was arrested for fourth degree domestic assault in 2000. She was busted for shoplifting in Clackamas County a few days after her first arrest.
Neighbors say she was always nice to them and her kids seemed happy.
Stott-Smith's arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday.

Kendra on the industry's expectations of the audience: "What's the nerd stereotype? The guy who looks like Kevin Smith, or the [brown] girl who's been loyal to the same comic shop for years? There's a worry, subconscious or not, that if white males have no one to identify with that the readership vanishes. No amount of trend-bucking — take Miles Morales, for example — is going to change that."
Arturo on white fans' reluctance to accept when POC are cast as characters who were originally white: "It's the natural result when the industry spends decades prioritizing white male characters — you have white male fans getting twitchy over this sort of casting while accepting white-washing or all-white stories."
- From "Who Gets To Be A Superhero? Race and Identity in Comics" by Gene Demby.

Race + Comics: On Ms. Marvel And Protecting Young Superheroes
By Arturo R. García
There's a lot to root for in Marvel's new Ms. Marvel series, which is already garnering buzz for starring a Pakistani-American Muslim teenager in her own solo series.
But, the book won't formally launch until February 2014, which opens it up to a recurring problem with Marvel: history shows that the company's efforts stop at gathering that buzz when it comes to its young superheroes — particularly those of color.

Racialicious attends New York Comic Con 2013
by Kendra James
Let's keep this short, sweet, and blunt: I'm disappointed at the lack of panels dealing exclusively –or even mentioned in summary– with issues of diversity, gender, sexuality, and other marginalized views at New York Comic Con 2013.
I can't recommend and won't be attending too many panels this year. Of 334 panels and screenings I was able to find 3 focusing exclusively on marginalised voices in fandom. 3 panels in 4 days of con-going. (Gosh, how will I ever will I have the time make it to all of them?) I'm thrilled to be attending what I am, but the lack of diverse content is concerning, to say the least.
On Thursday night there's the LGBT and Allies in Comics panel presented by the New York Times and Geeks Out. X-Men writers Marjorie Liu and and Greg Pak will be featured along with Dan Parent and Rich Bernatovech.
While there are panels that have at least one person of color featured, there's no focused panel on any marginalised issues in comics, fandom, or media to be found on all of Friday.
Saturday appears to be The Day for diversity at NYCC this year, and by that I mean a grand total of 2 panels will be hosted. The Mary Sue will present Representations in Geek Media at 2:45 where panelists, including Phil Jimenez, will discuss their favorite minority, disabled, LGBTQ and female genre characters. Later that evening at 6:30 I'll be attending Geeks of Color Assemble!: Minorities in Fandom, a full PoC panel discussing the question of what challenges in media remain that minorities still have to overcome.
On Sunday Marvel hosts their Women of Marvel panel which will once again feature Marjorie Liu, but given that it's a company sponsored panel one has to wonder how much critique and open discussion will actually take place.
If we're willing to count Sunday's panel, that brings the grand total of panels focusing on representation in media to 4 out of 334. Attendance and interest have never seemed to be a problem; the NYCC hip-hop and comics panel was incredibly well attended last year and each focused panel I attended at San Diego Comic Con this summer was filled with people at rapt attention. Nor is it an issue of panels not being submitted*. I try to look on the bright side, reminding myself that cons are exhausting and doing too much tends to ensure that I end up sick on the Monday after, but this is just ridiculous.This may have been the year of Pacific Rim, but this lack of representation at one of the largest cons in the country shows geekdom still has quite a way to go when it comes to leveling the playing field.
As usual, please feel free to say hello if you see me on the floor (between not being in panels all day, and likely being one of the few, if not the only, Black Margaery Tyrell in attendance, I should not be hard to spot), and follow @racialicious and @wriglied for live tweets of the panels I attend and excited reports of any Nicole Beharie sightings.
*In the spirit of full disclosure, Racialicious submitted a panel for consideration on the challenges of growing up as and raising geeks of color. It was not accepted.
Race + Comics: Breaking Down Uncanny Avengers' Continued Racefail
By Arturo R. García
This month's issue of Uncanny Avengers served as the most explicit follow-up to the much-maligned "we are all humans" speech written by Rick Remender in an apparent stab at "colorblindness."
Instead of taking to heart the critiques directed toward him, though, Remender seemed intent to "prove his point" via a debate between two of the book's mutant characters, Rogue and the Scarlet Witch (Wanda Maximoff). But don't let the cover fool you. This may have been intended to read like a battle of wits, but Remender neglected to arm either combatant.
Race + Film: Who Is The Mandarin?
By Kendra James and Arturo Garcia
If you haven't seen Iron Man 3 yet and you remain blissfully unspoiled where it comes to the movie's main villain, turn back now for there are major spoilers ahead. Unlike the marketing teams for certain other summer flicks (hi, Star Trek) Marvel and Disney did a good a job of hiding The Mandarin's origins and plot line for you to ruin it for yourself now.
But here's a clue: The Mandarin is not Khan.
For those of you who don't know anything about The Mandarin aside from the Ben Kingsley casting controversy, I'll let the Marvel wiki break it down briefly:
Born circa 1920, the future Mandarin was raised by his embittered aunt following his parents' deaths, and as an adult he used his brilliance and family wealth to attain prominence in the Kuomintang Party's reign over China. The Communist Revolution of 1949 cost him his position and power, although the population he had once commanded still regarded him with nigh-mystic awe. After years of seeking some means of regaining greatness, he ventured into the mysterious Valley of Spirits, where he discovered the millennia-old wreckage of a starship of the reptilian Kakaranatharian, or Makluan, extraterrestrial race, and the ten mighty rings which had powered the vessel
…Iron Man visited China to investigate the Mandarin for the U.S. government. Using the rings and his own combat skills, the Mandarin nearly defeated Iron Man, who nonetheless outwitted him and escaped. Soon after, the pair again clashed when the Mandarin pulled Stark surveillance missiles from the sky to use for his own purposes, then manipulated the Chinese government into test-firing a missile which, unknown to them, was intended to trigger world war, but Iron Man defeated him both times.
It's your standard superhero/super-villain dichotomy after that. The Mandarin is to Iron Man as Lex Luthor is to Superman. China has always been an important part of his back story as his original base of power, and the Mandarin had always been portrayed as Chinese. So when it was announced that Ben Kingsley would be playing The Mandarin we were all, by rights, slightly perturbed to say the least. But after seeing the finished product, Arturo and I differed on how we watched it all play out.
Target Audiences: LL Cool J And Marvel Comics Work The Spin Cycle
By Arturo R. García
There's a lot to unpack from LL Cool J's recent appearance on The Tonight Show: his statements that "you can't fit 300 to 400 years" into a song like 'Accidental Racist,'" and that he would never compare the Confederate flag to a do-rag–despite his linking the two in the line, "If you don't judge my do rag, I won't judge your red flag."
But his insistence on defining the "conversation" (read: nearly unanimous critical disdain) around the song around "extremes" stuck out for the wrong reasons for me. It smacked of the same kind of defensiveness the comics industry has been deploying more and more in recent years.

Race + Comics: On Alex Summers, Apologies, And Assimilation
By Arturo R. García
As a fan of both the X-Men franchise and some of his past work, I'd like to believe the best from writer Rick Remender's online apology over his mishandling of the recent criticism surrounding his latest issue of Uncanny Avengers.
Unfortunately, regardless of intentions, "sorry" needs to be the first word in these discussions, not the last. And his statements both before and after apologizing don't engender any more trust in his ability to properly explore the theme his story introduced. Which is a shame.

Lux Auto Brightness - Free
50,000 - 100,000 downloads
- Create brightness profiles
- Lots of features
- Auto-brightness detector using light sensor
- Free version is too limited
+ By Vito Cassisi
"Smart battery saving"
Reviewed by Emmanuel Lund / Apr 27, 2012
Lux is a custom auto-brightness app that adjust it depending on the brightness of your environment
Smartphones screens are now larger while batteries don't keep it up. For this reason, we need to make an effort by keeping track of those features that leak battery most. The jewel of the crown of battery draining is, of course, screen brightness. Lux is an app that comes to automatize brightness preferences depending on the environment.
It works by linking the brightness of your surroundings (ambient light) with the brightness of your device's display. The ambien light is obtained via the light sensor installed on your device (usually above the display). From the dashboard you can produce linked samples (profiles), toggle astronomer and night modes and access to preferences.
Likewise, you can create different levels depending on the amount of ambient light that camera catches, which is quite util for a more accurate performance. There are other extra features like: keeping the brightness 100% while charging, a handy widget for an easy management (enable/disable automatic mode, switch between profiles, etc.)
The main catch is that its free version is almost a demo since it is quite restricted. Anyway, the app is worth and if after giving it a go you like it, you can upgrade to the paid version which costs just AU $1.49.
Please note that this is the free version of Lux. For the full version please click the following link. Purchasing the full version supports further development of Lux, and is truly appreciated.
Lux isn't your ordinary brightness app. It intelligently adjusts the brightness of your display based on the environment you're in. If, for example, you step into a dimly lit room, Lux will automatically lower the brightness of your display to make it not only comfortable to read, but to also preserve battery power.
Lux provides the option to automatically adjust the backlight at fixed intervals (periodic mode), when a change in environment is detected (dynamic mode), or when the phone wakes from sleep. It's also possible to adjust the backlight manually. Simply disable automatic mode and you can use it like a traditional brightness tool!
Perhaps the best thing about Lux is that you can teach it how to behave. If the backlight is too bright or dim for your liking, simply open the provided Dashboard, adjust the brightness slider to the level you desire, then hold the link button. Lux will use this new 'link' as a reference in future.
■ Custom auto brightness. (limited in free version)
■ Sub-zero brightness to make reading in the dark significantly less irritating.
■ Battery efficient
■ Handy brightness widget
■ Option to use the camera to read in ambient light. (full version only)
■ Power-user settings such as choice of interpolation, sensor debugging, and linked sample editing. (limited in free version)
■ Backup to SD.
■ Customisable data filtering for phones with inaccurate light sensors. (full version only)
■ Gradual fade effect for backlight adjustments.
■ Astronomer mode adds a red filter to the screen to preserve the eyesight of stargazers. (full version only)

■ Night mode, to change the colour temperature of the display for comfortable night time viewing. (full version only)
■ Add app specific exceptions via compatibility mode
■ No ads, or other nuisances.
■ [new] Tasker and Locale support! (full version only)
Note: Please disable other brightness apps before using Lux. The author is not liable for any issues caused when using this app.
READ_PHONE_STATE permission is now required to prevent Lux from interfering with phone controls in Android 4.1.

Brad kisses Shia
Mike Coppola/ Getty
Shia LaBeouf's hero, Brad Pitt John Wayne, greeted him with a kiss to the hand last night at the New York premiere of Fury. As far as we know, the event happened without incident. No drunken outbursts, no fights, no plagiarism. Would Shia dare when Brad's around? It's an interesting reaction – the response to authority, or perceived authority. Full Story
Queen, Brange, Maleficent, Fury
Splash, INF, WPA Pool/ Getty
Got yelled at by several Brangelunatics the last few days for not posting about Angelina Jolie getting honourary damed by the Queen on Friday. Because I had laser eye surgery and then it was Thanksgiving in Canada. So that's a lesson for you all: nothing is more important than Brange - not your vision, not family, not holiday. Full Story
Brad Pitt and his kids
Brange did not attend the Amal-George wedding this weekend. But every day since they've been making headlines. She bought him some crazy expensive watch. Click here for more details. Then PEOPLE ran a feature about their first month of marriage. Full Story
The "unreachable" Brad Pitt…with Shia as his wingman
Brange was not photographed at the Clooney wedding. Some are hoping they were there, just incognito. But you know what? It's not like they hang out a lot. You see Clooney with Damon, Krasinski, Murray… Since Oceans, you don't see him with Brad. Their friendship has been overblown… maybe because of wishful thinking. Full Story
Brange goes bowling
Brange is in Malta shooting By The Sea. They took four of the kids bowling on the weekend. Maddox and Pax evidently stayed back because they have their own schedules. The younger ones still want to hang with mom and dad. The younger ones aren't embarrassed yet by dad's orange hat? As you know, the Jolie wrote By The Sea, is directing, and also stars. Full Story
Brange's post-wedding unhappiness
Brange is in Malta shooting a movie called By The Sea. Angelina wrote it. She's directing and producing. Brad is also producing. They play a married couple in crisis. There's already been a lot of talk about how ironic the timing is. I've already talked about how I just want them to go at it Mr & Mrs Smith styles again. Full Story
Angelina Jolie in swim shorts
FameFlynet, Riccardo Kanz/ Splash
That was me before a headline whore. Brange and children are in Malta working on By The Sea. On the weekend they spent time on a boat. As you can see, the Jolie wore swim shorts. I don't think I've ever seen her like this before. So, there's the headline explanation. But the other title could have been: Brad Pitt or Sean Penn? Because at first quick glance, I thought it might have been Sean Penn. Full Story
A $13 million wedding gift
Page Six reports that Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Brad Pitt were paid $13 million for two days of work on a new commercial directed by Martin Scorsese. As I mentioned the other day, it's a promotion for billionaire James Packer's casino empire – click here Full Story
Is that your wedding suit?
Sharpshooter Images/ Splash
A week after his wedding, Brad Pitt spent the weekend in New York shooting a short film that will also feature Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, directed by Martin Scorsese. That's a well cut black suit. Wedding suit? Probably not. He probably has 50 suits. The man loves his clothes, even though he keeps wearing outfits over and over again. Full Story
Brange: Buttock Futtock
That's what was on her veil, as drawn by one of the kids. And here's a sweet detail about the Brange wedding, that accompanied the Brange photos, as revealed in HELLO Magazine which went on sale this morning in the UK: Brad had a tribute to Angelina's mother engraved in stone in the setting where the ceremony took place. Full Story
The Brange wedding photos
Like I said, they're always so considerate. You're a slug after the long weekend. You can't imagine what could get you hard, coming back to work after 3 days off. And this… This is how they welcome you. Who cares about nude photos? All that matters: the Brange wedding photos. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
I mentioned this yesterday but it must be repeated: really appreciate how considerate it was of the Brange to drop their marriage news on us yesterday instead of today, before we all take off for the Labour Day long weekend. On Friday, before a long weekend, you really don't want to work that hard. You don't want to have to scramble. Thursday is good. Thursday you're still focused. Friday is all about your boss letting everyone go early and, if you can get away with it, coasting through the morning.
It worked out for everyone. Except, maybe, Jon Voight. Who wasn't invited. And now he's talking to anyone who will talk to him, including the Daily Mail Read Full Intro
Newlywed in Malta
FameFlynet, Splash, INF
Angelina Jolie and her kids are now in Gozo, Malta. (All the pap agencies are heading there now. Yay for Tourism Malta!) They were photographed today in a boat where Brad Pitt is expected to join them so that they can begin their working honeymoon, shooting a new film that the Jolie wrote called By The Sea. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
You can be the most famous woman in the world. You are the most famous actor in the world. Together, you're the most hunted couple in the world. The biggest f-cking deal.
When you get married?
What paparazzi?
What leaks?
Just a statement AFTER THE FACT to the Associated Press. You know, while everyone else was on VMA and EMMY focus.
But they've just made it so that no one else can ever complain again about privacy or lack of it.
Brange. Always Brange. Brange FOREVER!
More on this through the day. It's a GREAT day for gossip!
Yours in gossip,

A preventive vaccine for
rabies is given in three shots over 21 days.
Preexposure vaccination does not eliminate the need for postexposure
treatment, but postexposure treatment is simpler and shorter for those who have
received a vaccine before exposure to rabies.
Booster shots should
be considered when an occupation or hobby involves continued exposure to the
virus. But the risk of
allergic reaction to the vaccine increases with each
dose, so a booster shot should be given only when the antibody level from the
previous vaccine drops below an acceptable level. This is determined by a lab
test that measures the level of rabies antibodies in the system. The test is
performed every 6 months to 2 years, depending on risk.

Hotel Laxnes: Quaint Hotel outside Reykjavík
Hotel Laxnes is a quaint little hotel in Mosfellsbær, just outside Reykjavík. It's not a luxury hotel, but for the price, it can't be beat. Staff was friendly and helpful. Regina, a housekeeper, sat and chatted with my wife and I at breakfast. She prepared breakfast in the morning and we were the first people up, so it was enjoyable to chat with a local. The rooms are comfortable and adequate. No phones or hair dryers but you can borrow one from the front desk. It can get very hot in the rooms and there's no way to adjust the temperature so we had to crack the windows to keep the room cool. The shower was quite nice with a removable head with massage. I believe they have Wi-Fi in the rooms, but we didn't bring a laptop. They did have a computer in the lobby that guests can use to check email, flights, etc. Probably the best thing about Laxnes, though, is location. The bus stop to head into Reykjavík is at the end of the hotel parking lot. There are two banks right across the street to exchange currency and there are several restaurants and a grocery store nearby. So pretty much everything you need is conveniently close without the noise and hustle of being in downtown Reykjavík. Also, there is some great walking and hiking right by the hotel. Tungufoss waterfall, Mount Helgafell, and Mount Úlfarsfell can be walked to right from the hotel. The trailhead for Mount Esja is a little further, but bus service can bring you there.
Great location in quaint village of Mosfellsbær. Easy access to hiking, banks, bus service, outdoor pools.

Justice Nooty Ramamohana Rao of the AP High Court on Thursday directed the State government to commence counselling by August 19 to fill the convenor quota seats in the engineering and pharmacy colleges in the State.
This order, which gives great relief to the academic community especially the students and the parents, declared that all the seats in the management quota would also be filled based on merit alone and the process of issuance of application forms to prepare the merit list would be transparent.
The judge was passing this interim order in writ petitions filed by students complaining that the admission process has not yet begun and this undue delay will have disastrous consequences for them. Justice Ramamohana Rao called for a response from the State government and felt that the counselling for the A-category seats (Convenor quota) shall begin on August 19 at 10.30 a.m. This should be notified in Telugu, English and Urdu. This counselling should also be taken up on line.
The judge made it clear that the managements of non-minority engineering colleges shall take out notifications in at least two leading newspapers. The applications for B-category (Management Quota) shall be invited both in physical format and online.
The physical format of the application form shall be notified in notice boards of colleges and a copy is to be forwarded to the respective university to which the college is affiliated and AP State Council of Higher Education so that any student can have this. The students can obtain the format from the websites of the colleges and the university or the State council and they can be sent by registered post or online.
All the applications received by each college shall be arranged in order of merit and the list shall be exhibited on the notice boards, which is to be scrutinised by convenor (admissions) EAMCET-2013. The respective colleges shall make admissions against B-category in descending order in merit amongst the applicants. The case is listed after four weeks.
Special Correspondent adds: Engineering notification is likely to be issued on Tuesday (August 13), according to the APSCHE Chairman, P. Jayaprakash Rao. He said that officials will meet on Monday to discuss the modalities and other related aspects.
The Technical Education Commissioner, Ajay Jain, said that notification has to be given as per the court orders and counselling starts on August19. "If we are unable to conduct counselling in view of the agitations in Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions, we will review the situation and alter the dates accordingly," he said.

The rupee fell marginally by 3 paise to 62.15 against the US dollar in early trade on Monday at the Interbank Foreign Exchange market due to increased demand for the US currency from importers.
Forex dealers said besides dollar's gains against other currencies overseas, increased demand from importers for the American currency and a lower opening in the domestic equity market also put pressure on the rupee.
The rupee had gained 11 paise to close at 62.12 against the US dollar in the previous session on Friday on selling of the American currency by banks and exporters amid foreign capital inflows fuelling a rebound in shares.
Meanwhile, the BSE benchmark Sensex fell by 62.09 points, or 0.30%, to 20,638.66 in early trade today.

Underage prostitutes are earning up to $600 a night in South Auckland, an MP claims.
NZ First MP Asenati Lole-Taylor says she has spoken to a sex worker who was as young as 13 who told her she was making up to $600 a night.
Lole-Taylor told the NZ Herald the girl told her the prices she charges for different sexual services.
She said the parents of underage girls operating in the area often did not know where their daughters were, and they had told them they were at a friend's house doing homework.
Tina Herewini, who has been a Maori warden in Otara for 27 years, says the young girls are learning from older prostitutes.
"They tell me they are doing it because they can. It's legal," she told the NZ Herald.
Lole-Taylor has drafted a Member's Bill which aims to outlaw street prostitution and would restrict all sex work to brothels.
The Prostitution Reform (Control of Street Prostitution) Amendment Bill, would make it easy for police to arrest prostitutes working on the streets, which Lole-Taylor says will "allow people to again feel safe in their neighbourhoods".
She says it goes further than the Regulation Prostitution in Specified Areas Bill, which provides for local bylaw control over the locations where prostitution may occur.
A parliamentary select committee last month heard submissions on the Bill, which would ban street workers from some residential, school and sports areas.
It would also mean fines of up to $2000 for prostitutes caught soliciting in banned areas, and police would have the power to stop their clients' cars and arrest them too.
The Prostitution Reform Act created some of the most liberal prostitution laws in the world and has continued to attract global attention since it was passed in 2003.

Criterion Place was a proposed skyscraper development in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. In July 2008 it was announced that the project is to be cancelled owing to the property market slump.[1][2] The image on the right shows the empty site being used as a car park as of 2013.
The site, which is surrounded by Neville Street, Sovereign Street, Swinegate and Leeds City railway station, was previously home to the Queens Hall, a building which was originally a tram and then a bus depot and had latterly became a venue hosting events such as exhibitions, flea markets and concerts. The Queens Hall was demolished in 1989. [1]
Since demolition, the site has been used as a surface level car park. Early proposals for development on the site had included, in 1995, plans for an office building designed by Norman Foster of about 60 m - 70m in height to house Royal London Insurance [2] and international media agency Criterion Global, though the former was later rebuffed as rumour and mere coincidence owing to the development's name. This development, however, did not go ahead but some small scale development on part of the car park was developed in the past ten years which included construction of a six storey office building for British Telecom and construction of a nine storey multi-storey car park designed by Carey Jones with Bibi's restaurant on the ground floor. Construction work to add two additional storeys to the Criterion Place multi-storey car park began in July 2008.
Ian Simpson "Kissing Towers" Proposals[edit]
In 2004, proposals were unveiled for large scale development on the site. This was originally from a competition by Leeds City Council for the development for the site that included plans of a 32 storey tower by Rushbond & DLA Architects and another proposal for a 22 storey tower by DTR:UK. These two proposals had lost out to a twin tower scheme by Ian Simpson Architects to be developed by Simons Estates which had proposed a scheme consisting of two glass towers of 47 storeys (160 m) and 29 storeys (105 m). This proposal comprised 326 apartments, offices and a 186 room hotel and was expected to cost £115 million. Advertising hoardings then appeared around the Queens Hall car park but no further site activity was apparent for the following two years.
In September 2007, engineers undertook survey work to establish the position of existing services in the vicinity of the proposed site. Bore hole work was then undertaken at several locations in the Queens Hall car park over the following weeks. In November 2007 a new proposal was lodged for a similar design but comprising two towers of 53 storeys (180 m) and 33 storeys (118 m). If the building had been constructed according to these revised proposals, the development would have exceeded the height of Beetham Tower Manchester and Lumiere to become the tallest building in Leeds and Western Europe's tallest residential skyscraper.
However, in July 2008 the developers submitted a further revision comprising a smaller scheme, due to the falling property market and prevailing economic conditions.[3] On 18 July 2008 the cancellation of the project was announced when Leeds City Council terminated Simons Estates' contract to develop the Criterion Place site, following the developer's failure to submit a planning application in accordance with the contract. The Criterion Place site which has remained undeveloped for nearly 20 years will continue to be used as a surface level car park.[1][2]

The New York Times Book Review…Blitzstein's rehabilitation is proceeding slowly. Although the three-volume Marc Blitzstein Songbook was published more than a decade ago, most of his compositions languish in manuscript in libraries. Pollack brings these works out of the archives and into the light, examining them far more thoroughly than ever before, and in the context of Blitzstein's life and times…Marc Blitzstein is the story of an artistic genius who refused to sell out, and Pollack has made a powerful case for his rediscovery. With its extensive and insightful descriptions of the music, this biography ought to win for Blitzstein the wider recognition and appreciation he so clearly deserves after so many years of neglect.

Hey again, macrowizards.
So I'm looking into reeeeeeeally simplifying my tanking experience on my protection paladin, by having a macro with a bazillion conditionals, that taunts in this priority:
1. Taunts my enemy mouseover target.
2. Taunts my enemy focus.
3. Taunts my enemy target.
4. Taunts the enemy target of a friendly mouseover.
5. Taunts the enemy target of a friendly focus.
6. Taunts the enemy target of a friendly target.
I expect this to be hard to pull off, but if it works, don't worry about the 255 char limit, I have addons to work around that.
Why read words when we can kill stuff the words tell us about?
You have dreamed of death, you thought to escape it. Now, my little puppet, death is all you will ever know.
Anyone knows a macro (or addon) that will hide the calendar button (GameTimeFrame) unless there is a new event pending?
The priority seems a bit odd to me, but I believe this should work with the priority you've given:
Code:#showtooltip /use [@mouseover, harm, nodead][@focus, harm, nodead][@target, harm, nodead][@mouseovertarget, harm, nodead][@focustarget, harm, nodead][@targettarget, harm, nodead] Reckoning
Edit: I can't remember off the top of my head, but I believe @mouseovertarget is correct. You may want to pull just that part out into it's own macro and test it. If that doesn't work, it might be @mouseovertargettarget, but I'm pretty sure the first one is correct.
Any idea why this doesn't work when pressing SHIFT?
Code:#showtooltip conflagrate /cast [mod:shift] !Fire and Brimstone /cancelaura [nomod] Fire and Brimstone /cast conflagrate
Is it bound to a num key (commonly used for Naga binds)? Shift+num sends an entirely different key, like shift+num1 is actually end. You can get around this by binding the shift version of the key to a new button, or by rebinding to a non-num key, or by using a modifier other than shift.
I am looking to write a macro for the Bottled Tornado trinket - I want the one macro to switch between that trinket and my currently equipped one, click again to use bottled tornado, and click again to re-equip the original trinket. I'd like to be able to use the same macro for both specs, too, and ideally without having to hold a modifier down.
I can't post my question because my macros are recognized as links and I don't have enough posts -.-
It's only not letting you post the '@' character. Maybe replace it with '(at)' or similar?
Hi. I am wondering if you can simplify my macro and get Command Demon into it as well to get the pet's ability when you sacrifice the pet. Currently this is 250 characters.
Code:#show /use [pet:fel imp,@mouseover,nodead,help]sear magic;[pet:imp,@mouseover,nodead,help]singe magic;[pet:succubus,@mouseover,nodead,harm][pet:succubus,harm]Seduction;[pet:observer,@mouseover,nodead,harm][pet:observer,harm]optical blast;spell lock
Code:/use [@mouseover,nodead,help]Sear Magic /use [@mouseover,nodead,help]Singe Magic /use [@mouseover,nodead,harm][harm]Seduction /use [@mouseover,nodead,harm][harm]Optical Blast /use [@mouseover,nodead,harm][harm]Spell Lock /use [nopet]Command Demon
This is 241 characters (not counting line breaks; I'm not sure if WoW does and I can't test right now). Note that it only casts Command Demon when you have no pet. I don't know if you want it to behave like that since Command Demon is a different spell in the case of the Imp and Succubus, so you probably want access to both when a pet is out.
You could also just get something like Macro Toolkit and make the macro as long as you want.
Yes, I just want Command Demon when I have no pet, so you did it right. I prefer not using any supermacro-addon though, as I am trying to not use too much addons. Did not know that you can use these spells without having [pet] conditions though so that's a good one. Thanks for the help!
Hello good people of this excellent sticky! My conundrum is as follows: Is there some way make a macro that would use Pickpocket when targeting a npc and Eviscerate when targeting a player? I have a macro that I use for pickpocket. It works great, but because its on my "stealth" bar it comes up during Shadow Dance and is then useless. So I tried to add a /cast [stance:3] Eviscerate condition.
The stance part didnt work and Im not sure why. The most ideal solution would be to change for npc vs player. I know you can do friendly and enemy. If thats not an option, how can I fix my stance macro? Thanks for any and all input!Code:#showtooltip /console set targetnearestdistance 5 /cleartarget /targetenemy [target=target, noexists] /cast pick pocket
another one I was working on is:
however, I would only want it to do the /targetenemyplayer /sap part when under normal stealth and just rupture during shadow dance.Code:#showtooltip /targetenemyplayer /cast Sap /cast [stance3] Rupture
Can I express this more succinctly:Code:/targetenemy [noexists,nogroup][help,nogroup] [dead,nogroup]
Code:/stopmacro [group][harm,nodead] /targetenemy

Exercise May Help Kids Cope with Stress
Physical exercise might help children cope with the effects of acute everyday stress, according to a new study conducted in Finland and published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. Though the study did not control for factors like sugar intake or chronic, baseline levels of the stress-related hormone cortisol, it did find that physical activity was related to better, more resilient responses to stress. The New York Times has more:
Finnish researchers had 258 8-year-old boys and girls wear accelerometers on their wrists for at least four days that registered the quality and quantity of their physical activity. Their parents used cotton swabs to take saliva samples at various times throughout a single day, which the researchers used to assess levels of cortisol, a hormone typically induced by physical or mental stress.
There was no difference in the cortisol levels at home between children who were active and those who were less active. But when the researchers gave the children a standard psychosocial stress test at a clinic involving arithmetic and storytelling challenges, they found that those who had not engaged in physical activity had raised cortisol levels. The children who had moderate or vigorous physical activity showed relatively no rise in cortisol levels.
Those results indicate a more positive physiological response to stress by children who were more active, the researchers said in a study that was published this week in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. The children who were least active had the highest levels.
"This study shows that children who are more active throughout their day have a better hormonal response to an acute stressful situation," said Disa Hatfield, an assistant professor of kinesiology at the University of Rhode Island, who was not involved in the study.

Objective: Our purpose was to evaluate the knowledge of folic acid and its use preconceptionally in women of British Columbia. Methods: The study was conducted at British Columbia Women's Hospital in Vancouver, Canada, between April 15 and June 15, 1999. Pregnant women and women in the postpartum period were asked to complete a survey on folic acid. Results: In total, 1,004 women completed the questionnaire during the study period. Seventy-one percent of the women knew that vitamins could help prevent birth defects. Of those, 76.3% identified folic acid as the one vitamin specifically associated with reduction of birth defects. It was identified that 49.4% of all women took vitamins prior to pregnancy. Conclusions: Women in the population studied were relatively well informed about the benefits of folic acid, but less than 50% of them took vitamins prior to conception.

Utility OKs waste mix pit
Part of upgrade at treatment site
The DeSoto County Regional Utility Authority gave approval Wednesday to add a mixing pit to its upgrades at the Ross Road wastewater treatment facility in Olive Branch.
The board authorized up to $25,000 for construction of the 5-foot deep, 7-by-7-foot concrete structure that can hold about 6,000 gallons of mixture. However, wastewater engineer Jim Ditto said the cost would probably be closer to $20,000.
The utility authority is in the middle of a $1.2 million upgrade to the Ross Road facility, expected to be completed in early December.
United Water Services' Randall Dias, who oversees the plant, told the board the mixing pit was necessary due to new requirements by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality that limit the amounts of ammonia and phosphorus allowed to be discharged from the plant.
Dias said by mixing up the chemicals that neutralize the ammonia and phosphorus, far less is needed than if the dry-mix is dumped directly into the system.
The utility authority has a similar mixing pit at its Shortfork treatment facility.
Also Wednesday, the board agreed to once again hire Williams, Pitt and Beard to conduct the independent audit of the utility authority's books that is required by law.
The cost of the service will increase from $17,500 to $19,000. The utility authority earmarked $20,000 for the service in its budget.
