Excelsior Geyser Crater, formerly known as Excelsior Geyser, is a hot spring in the Midway Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. Excelsior was named by the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871.[4] Possibly the only known photograph of Excelsior in full eruption was taken by Frank Jay Haynes in 1888.[5]
The Excelsior Geyser pool discharges 4,000 to 4,500 gallons (15,100–17,000 l)[6] of 199 °F (93 °C)[3] water per minute directly into the Firehole River. In the late 19th century (there was possibly some activity in 1901 too), it was an active geyser that erupted frequently. Most eruptions were about 100 feet high, although some exceeded 300 feet (91 m) in both height and width. It is believed that the powerful eruptions damaged its internal plumbing system, and it now boils as a productive hot spring most of the time.
In 1985, Excelsior returned to activity for a 46 hour period from September 14 to 16. These eruptions were relatively small at 30 feet (9.1 m) but a few were as much as 80 feet (24 m) tall and 100 feet wide. All of these eruptions lasted about 2 minutes at intervals of 5 to 66 minutes.[6]
In the mid first decade of the 21st century Excelsior did have violent boiling strong enough to be considered as eruptions, the boiling reached between 5 to 10 feet (1.5 to 3.0 m) and had a duration of seconds.

DATE & TIME: Saturday, November 30, 2 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Convocation Center (13,080) -- Athens, Ohio. Television: None. Home Record: Evansville 4-0, Ohio 4-0. Away Record: Evansville 1-1, Ohio 1-1. Neutral Record: Evansville 0-0, Ohio 0-0. Conference Record: Evansville 0-0, Ohio 0-0. Series Record: Series is tied, 2-2.
GAME NOTES: The Ohio University Bobcats try to extend their amazing success at the Convocation Center this afternoon when they entertain the Evansville Purple Aces.
The Bobcats are 42-3 in their past 45 home games and 4-0 at the Convocation Center this season.
Today's game is part of the Ohio Classic, which the Bobcats are already 3-0 in following victories over Valparaiso, Heidelberg and Mercer. Most recently, the Bobcats beat Mercer, 76-67 on Tuesday, behind 23 points and 11 rebounds from Maurice Ndour. Jon Smith added 16 points and 11 boards for the Bobcats, who won despite shooting just 37.9 percent from the field, including 5-of-20 from 3-point range.
Ndour, a 6-foot-9 junior forward, leads the team with 15.5 points per game. Nick Kellogg, who enters today's game 34 points shy of 1,000 for his career, is the only other double-digit scorer, as the senior guard is averaging 15.0 points. Ndour and Kellogg are shooting 53.1 percent and 51.9 percent, respectively, from the field. Ndour has made half of his 12 3-point tries, while Kellogg is 15-of-31 from beyond the arc. In fact, factor in the team's third-leading scorer in Ricardo Johnson, and the trio is hitting 25-of-50 from behind the 3-point line for the season. The problem has been some of the supporting players, which have brought down the team to a 33.6 percentage from beyond the arc. Stevie Taylor, a 5-foot-10 junior guard who is averaging 9.2 points, is just 4-of-25 from long distance.
Ohio struggled in its first five games from the foul line with a .655 percentage, but righted the ship by hitting 27-of-32 in the Mercer game.
Evansville is coming off its first loss of the season on Tuesday at Indiana, 77-46. The Purple Aces were paced by D.J. Balentine with 14 points, but he too struggled with his shot, hitting only 5-of-17 from the floor and missing all five chance behind the 3-point line. Duane Gibson pitched in with 10 points. The Purple Aces have defeated Mercer and Valparaiso as part of the Ohio Classic.
The Purple Aces are led by sophomore guard D.J. Balentine, who ranks among the top-10 in the nation in scoring at 27 points per game. Balentine is shooting 53.5 percent from the field, including 15-of-28 from 3-point range. He's also made 55 of his 60 free throws and has scored at least 29 points in all but one game this season. Freshman guard Duane Gibson, who is one of four players averaging double-digits with 10.8 points, is the team's leading rebounder with 4.7 per contest. Adam Wing, a 6-foot-4 sophomore guard, is second in scoring at 11.7 ppg, while 6-foot-6 swingman Blake Simmons (10.3 ppg) is also part of the starting lineup, along with sophomore center Egidijus Mockevicius (5.0 ppg, 4.4 rpg).
The Purple Aces are putting up a gaudy 82.8 points per game, but their defense is allowing 76.7 ppg, which is near Ohio's offensive average (74.3 ppg) in the early going. The Bobcats will need to put the clamps on Balentine to extend their success at home.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Ohio University 76, Evansville 74

Hey, Scripting Guy! How can I center-align a picture in a Word document?-- CD
Hey, CD. In light of the controversy surrounding World Series game 2 (was Detroit Tigers pitcher Kenny Rogers throwing "goopballs" or wasn't he?) the Scripting Guys felt it was important to note that no illegal substances were used in the writing of today's Hey, Scripting Guy! column: no pine tar, no Vaseline, not even any peanut butter. Nothing.
OK, true, there are cookie crumbs wedged between some of the keys on the keyboard. But those don't count.
Note. If you're not a fan of America's national pastime we should make it clear that the sport has very strict rules against "doctoring" baseballs. Why do major league umpires throw out any baseball that has so much as a blemish on it? Because major league pitchers can take a baseball that has a scuff mark, a dab of Vaseline, or a little pine tar on it and then throw a pitch that is essentially unhittable: typically the ball will come in straight and then, swiftly and unexpectedly, dive straight into the ground. (According to the old cliché "like it rolled off a table.") Because these pitches are well-nigh impossible to hit, the so-called "spitball" has been illegal for decades.
And yes, up until 1920 the spitball was legal; in fact, Scripting Guy Peter Costantini used to throw the spitter as a boy in New Jersey.
Of course, at the risk of tarnishing the spotless reputation of the Scripting Guys, the Scripting Guy who writes this column would have happily used an illegal substance when writing today's column; he just couldn't figure out how a dab of Vaseline would help him center-align a picture in Microsoft Word. As it turns out, the process isn't all that difficult, but it's not exactly intuitive, either, as you're about to see.
Ethical question. So if the Scripting Guy who writes this column would have happily used an illegal substance in writing this column does that mean he would have used an illegal substance when pitching a baseball? Heavens no! After all, that would have been against the rules.
Besides, he could never really control the spin of the ball any time he tried.
At any rate, CD, here's a perfectly natural, perfectly legal script that center-aligns a picture in Microsoft Word:
Const wdShapeCenter = -999995
Const wdWrapSquare = 0
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
objWord.Visible = True
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add()
Set objShape = objDoc.Shapes
Set objShapeRange = objDoc.Shapes.Range(1)
objShapeRange.Left = wdShapeCenter
objShapeRange.WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapSquare
No promises here, but we'll try to explain this script the best we can. As you can see, we start out by defining a pair of constants, wdShapeCenter (and yes, -999995 is the real value we need to assign to the constant) and wdWrapSquare. We'll use these two constants to center the picture (wdShapeCenter) and then to configure the picture word wrap (wdWrapSquare).
After defining the constants we create an instance of the Word.Application object and set the Visible property to True; that gives us a running instance of Microsoft Word that we can see on screen. We then use this line of code to create a new document we can work with:
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add()
Our next step is to insert a picture into the document. To do that we create an instance of the document's Shapes collection, then use the AddPicture method to insert the picture C:\Scripts\Welder-small.jpg. That's what these two lines of code are for:
Set objShape = objDoc.Shapes
OK; now it gets a tad bit convoluted.
As you doubtless know, CD, by default Word left-aligns any pictures you insert programmatically. To center the picture we use these two lines of code:
Set objShapeRange = objDoc.Shapes.Range(1)
objShapeRange.Left = wdShapeCenter
In the first line we create an instance of the document's ShapeRange object. To do that we reference the Shapes collection and the Range property; in particular, we reference the first Range which, for our purposes, is just the first picture in the collection. That's what the Range(1) is for. What if we had two pictures in our document and we wanted to center-align picture 2? Then we'd use code like this:
Set objShapeRange = objDoc.Shapes.Range(2)
After we have a ShapeRange object that references our picture we can then align the graphic by setting the value of the Left property to the constant wdShapeCenter. Alternatively, we could right-align the graphic by using the constant wdShapeRight and the value -999996. Or we could set the Left property to wdShapeLeft (with the value -999998); that, in turn, left-aligns the picture.
It's weird, but that's the way it works.
Note. In one of those astonishing coincidences that link baseball, scripting, and real life, -999998 is also the batting average compiled by the Scripting Editor during this past softball season. To tell you the truth, we're not totally sure how she could even have a negative batting average. But statistics don't lie.
The final line of code in the script is optional, but you might find it useful. By default any picture you programmatically insert into a Word document gets plastered on top of the text. In other words, if you start adding text to your document you'll end up with something that looks like this:
It might be a little hard to see in this screenshot, but the picture covers up some of the text. Admittedly, with a Hey, Scripting Guy! article, covering up the text isn't necessarily a bad thing. But we're guessing you'd prefer to be able to still read the document you just added your graphic to.
To address that problem we use this line of code to set the wrap Type to square (a task which requires us to reference the WrapFormat object, which is a child object of the ShapeRange object):
objShapeRange.WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapSquare
Now when we add text to the document that text will wrap nicely around the graphic:
Much better.
In case you're interested, here's a list of other wrap Type constants and values:
Hope that helps, CD.
Although we hate to moralize, the Scripting Guys would like to close by stating we think it's a shame that, in this day and age, anyone who does something really well is immediately accused of cheating, whether that's by doctoring a baseball, taking steroids, or engaging in some other illicit practice. Sadly, that's the price you pay for success these days.
Interestingly enough, the Scripting Guys have never once been accused of cheating.
Hmmm ….
This was a waste of my time to read this. I am trying to work, not to program or read about baseball (although I love baseball). The previous versions of MS Office offered real help, not a bunch of gobbedlygook. Why don't you people put something simple like centering a picture into the program correctly the first time?
@Ken I am sorry you felt this blog post was a waste of your time (It was written five years ago, before I became the Scripting Guy). As a matter of fact, I do not even like baseball, so I do not write about it). However, the purpose of the Hey Scripting Guy blog, is, and has always been, about scripting -- which is a form of light weight programing. Many times, however, our readers will simply take the script and use it as is, without attempting to understand programing that goes into the script. At other times, our readers read just becaue they like the pictures I post (I am into scuba diving and travel) or because they happen to like baseball. I can understand your frustation. The Microsoft Office team is very responsive to customer feedback -- the best way to provide feedback to them would be via either their techcenter / blog / or user forum. They pay attention to feedback, and use it to help them develop new features. I hope this helps.
Hi Scripting guy, I've stumbled across this page.
I was excellent in showing me how to right align an image in my outlook signature script, but I also need to move the image down the page ( the way it works now, its right aligned at the top of the email footer, I'm trying to get to right align about 10 point above the footers last line ).
Ive tried
objShapeRange.Top = wdShapeTop
( where wdShapeTop has been defined previously as -50 )
but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Its what I'm trying to do even possible ?

'He has the credit of uniting Christian community against the British'
Sirsi: Joachim Alva sacrificed everything for the freedom struggle, Prithviraj Chavan, Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office, has said.
He was speaking after inaugurating Joachim Alva's birth centenary celebrations at Sirsi Police Grounds on Monday.
From his student days, Joachim Alva used to motivate people against the British rule. He had the credit of uniting the Christian community against the British, he said. Violet Alva, his wife, accompanied him in his venture, he added.
They were a great model to those who fight against "factionism" and "casteism", Mr. Chavan added.
Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president Mallikarjun Kharge, who was the chief guest, said that politicians in the past emulated noble ideals. But today's politicians were after power and full of avarice, he said and added that none of them think about safeguarding democratic values.
The role of the Alva couple was noteworthy because their works were directive to the present day politicians, he said.
Union Minster of State for Labour and Employment Oscar Fernandes, who released a souvenir, said that Joachim Alva was a great freedom fighter.
Veteran journalist M.V. Kamath said that farmers' suicide had become an alarming factor in the country. Traditional agriculture and marginal land holdings had unnerved the farmers, he said. New technologies in farming and marketing should be introduced and farmers should be given proper guidance, he added.
Union Minister of State for Planning M.V. Rajasekharan and former Minister Jaffer Sharief spoke.
Congress leaders H.K. Patil, Kagodu Timmappa, Umesh Bhat, Niranjan Alva, Mohan Shetty, Blossom Fernandes and zilla panchayat president Gayatri Gowda were present.
Former Minister R.V. Deshpande welcomed the gathering. Congress general secretary Margaret Alva proposed a vote of thanks.

Review by SHARMILA NAIR firstname.lastname@example.com
It had to happen sometime ... a fan finally gives up on one of her favourite writers.
Merry Christmas, Alex Cross
Author: James Patterson
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company, 352 pages
OK, I am just going to come right out and say it: James Patterson has lost his mojo. For the past few years, I had been making so many excuses to justify Patterson's terrible performance on keyboards (or a typewriter ... I don't know him personally).
From assuming that he's possibly on the verge of losing his mind to temporary insanity to writer's block, I have always defended one of my favourite writers, saying that he would get back to excellent over time.
I mean, did you read Cross in the Alex Cross series? That hit rock bottom, and to me, there was no way that Patterson could churn out something worse than that poor excuse for a novel.
Guess what? I was wrong. Merry Christmas, Alex Cross is in my opinion the worst in the Alex Cross detective series!
To be honest ... I didn't finish the book. No, not because I didn't have time to read it but simply because I couldn't accept the fact that Patterson has become the kind of writer that he is today. Oh, it also didn't help that Merry Christmas has a crappy storyline.
We all know that Alex Cross loves his family and would never do anything to hurt them ... except to leave on short notice and miss out on most holidays and celebrations, which annoys his family no end.
Well, he does that again and this time over Christmas, a decision which doesn't sit well with grandma Nana (who must be over 100 years yet shows no sign of leaving for the afterlife), his children and his new wife Bree.
Nevertheless, Alex does what Alex wants and a day before the celebration, he leaves the comfort of his yummy Christmas-goodies smelling home to stop a man from killing his ex-wife and two children. What a great way to spend Christmas eve, right?
OK, so he kind of solves that problem (it's Alex we're talking about here) and returns home just in time for another big case that apparently only he can handle. Like, for real? I mean, I would like to think of Alex as a great detective, but is he really that indispensable? What about the other men working in the police department? Are they just there to cheer him on or do they just make up the numbers so that the FBI seems like a cool place to work at?
Anyway, the new case is about a female terrorist who gets caught while planting bombs at a train station and, of course, it was Alex who caught her before figuring out that the terrorist cell group has a bigger hit planned.
More terrorists are introduced in the story, Nana and the family are angry at Alex for always being missing in action, Alex acts like a wimp, and the story gets boring as heck.
That's when I threw the book against the wall and yelled "Damn you, Patterson!"
You want to know why? Because I finally realised that Merry Christmas, Alex Cross is not a "proper" novel but just a means for Patterson to make more money. No big, bad crazy man terrorising the city, no clever mastermind wreaking havoc on people's lives, no intricate plots or even a half-baked storyline here. In fact, it is just a collection of short stories set around the common theme of the festive season. Well, I wasn't interested in reading that.
I seriously don't care what happens to Alex now. He could've died at the end of the book but, hey, maybe it's time for the once great detective to go and leave the job and family that always demands more than he can give.
At least then Patterson wouldn't have an excuse to write crappy books that don't even come close to living up older Alex Cross titles like Along Came A Spider, Cat And Mouse and Kiss The Girls.
You've disappointed me again Patterson, and there's nothing merry about that.

HP revamps PCs: Is it really year of the desktop?
HP adds color to its Pavilion desktops and gives a little design love to a form factor that has seen its best days in terms of popularity.
HP adds color to its Pavilion desktops and gives a little design love to a form factor that has seen its best days in terms of popularity.
Long before many had desktop PCs, HP introduced a pocket computer that kickstarted my passion for mobile gadgets.
Intel said it cut its first quarter outlook because of "weaker than expected demand for business desktop PCs and lower than expected inventory levels across the PC supply chain."
When it preinstalled the Superfish adware on consumer PCs, Lenovo sold its customers out for a pittance, but it still hasn't had to disclose how much it received. Maybe it's time for a Truth in Labeling act to shine a light on this dark corner of the PC market.
Lenovo, HP, and Dell are increasing their collective dominance of the PC market, with Apple as the only threat. So how are the three big OEMs coping with sweeping changes in the computing landscape?
The computer giant wants to bring Windows to the masses again -- in the form of a tiny desktop box.
The updates, which come as HP holds its Discover powwow in Barcelona, illustrates how PC makers are trying to deliver business systems that can replicate consumer-first design cues.
PC sales are declining - despite the end-of-XP support bump - while Mac sales were up 18 percent in Q2 and 21 percent in Q3 of 2014. Why isn't the Mac declining along with Windows PCs?
Hewlett Packard wants to infuse life into PCs with a new kind of machine that uses a built-in projector for surface-enabled touch and 3D scanning. Will makers and creatives get on board?
Updated: Hewlett-Packard Enterprise will target business customers, HP Inc will sell printers and PCs, but another 5,000 jobs go.
The computer giant will continue as an enterprise supplier while a second company will contain the PC and printer businesses.
How low can the price of a Windows PC go? At this week's IFA show in Berlin, PC makers are rolling out new PCs with outrageously aggressive pricing. Here's how they're cutting costs.
The consensus says that Windows XP has boosted corporate PC sales and acted as a performance enhancing drug. There's an argument that enterprises may keep refreshing PCs because the installed base is ancient.
In its ads, Microsoft says the Surface Pro 3 is "the tablet that can replace your laptop." With the addition of a new docking station, the Surface Pro has its eye on your desktop PC, too.
Public PCs aren't safe, so what's a PC user to do? Carry a Linux distribution on a USB stick in their backpocket of course!
The PC industry worldwide sold 136 million desktop PCs last year, along with 160 million traditional notebooks driven by keyboards and touchpads. Those big numbers explain why Microsoft is feverishly improving the desktop experience for "the next iteration of Windows."

Leap Motion says the keyboard with built-in gesture recognition, previously available with select HP desktop PCs, will be available separately starting this month.
The Pro x2 612 can turn into a 12.5-inch Windows tablet, while the Elite 700 family includes Ultrabooks and all-in-one PCs in addition to traditional desktop and laptop form factors.

FACTS & STATS: Site: Yager Stadium (24,286) -- Oxford, Ohio. Television: ESPN3. Home Record: CMU 0-2, Miami 0-1. Away Record: CMU 0-3, Miami 0-3. Neutral Record: CMU 0-0, Miami 0-0. Conference Record: CMU 0-1, Miami 0-0. Series Record: Miami-Ohio leads, 12-11-1.
GAME NOTES: The Miami-0hio RedHawks will attempt to end their eight-game losing streak as they host the Central Michigan Chippewas in a Mid-American Conference cross division showdown at Yager Stadium.
Central Michigan is also looking for a win entering Yager Stadium on a three- game losing streak. The Chippewas are 1-4 with the only victory being a narrow, 24-21 decision over FCS foe New Hampshire. Coach Dan Enos's team has been defeated by an average of 27.8 points in its losses to Michigan, UNLV, Toledo and NC State. CMU has lost 12 of its last 14 games dating back to last season.
Miami's difficult non-conference schedule ended last week with a 50-14 loss at Illinois. The RedHawks fell to 0-4 with the loss, which was not unexpected considering they played one of the favorites to win the Conference USA and three schools from BCS conferences. Coach Don Treadwell's team has not really been competitive this year, while being outscored by an average of 30.4 points per game. Miami is ranked 114th or worse nationally in nearly every major statistical category.
Miami possesses a 12-11-1 all-time record versus CMU. The Chippewas won the 2012 meeting in Mount Pleasant, 30-16, to pull within a single game in the rivalry's history.
Redshirt freshman Cooper Rush has taken the reins of the offense and started under center the last three games for CMU. He showed his inexperience last time out against NC State, finishing 16-of-37 passing for only 165 yards with three interceptions to one touchdown. Rush is netting 242.5 yards passing per game, while completing 51.8 percent of his attempts. CMU has a long way to go offensively as it ranks eighth in the MAC in total offense (330.8 ypg) and scored only 17 ppg. Saylor Lavallii is the lead back on the squad by far with 87 carries for 370 yards and three touchdowns.
Titus Davis found a way to be productive during the lopsided loss last week, tallying 80 yards and a touchdown on five catches. His touchdown catch marked the 20th of his career which moved him into third place on CMU's career leaderboard. Davis is ranked second in the nation among active players with a career 19.2 yards per reception average and seventh with a career 72.2 receiving yards per game average.
The offensive struggles are nothing compared to the Chippewas' defensive disarray. They are allowing a MAC-worst 39.4 points per game along with an average of 432 yards of total offense. CMU has hurt itself with turnovers and has four less takeaways (nine) than giveaways (13). Last week, the Wolfpack scored on offense, defense and special teams and also racked up 483 yards of total offense in the game to CMU's 259 total yards. Linebacker Justin Cherocci is pacing the MAC with 55 total stops.
Senior quarterback Austin Boucher had some upside coming into the season after leading Miami to four consecutive wins including victories in the MAC Championship Game and GoDaddy.com bowl in 2010. After serving as a backup to the school's all-time leading passer, Zac Dysert, for the past two seasons, Boucher has led the offense to an average of 8.8 points per game. He has thrown for 363 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions, completing only 43.1 of his attempts.
None of the team's pass catchers have been very productive. Tight end Steve Marck leads the team in receptions with only seven and starting tailback Dawan Scott has tallied a team-high 91 receiving yards on five catches.
Miami's leading rusher is backup quarterback Austin Gearing, who has seen the field more than most backups this season and gained 140 yards on 36 carries. The RedHawks net only 83.3 yards on the ground per game and have rushed for only two touchdowns this season.
Kent Kern has recorded 38 total tackles to lead a RedHawks defense that allows 39.2 points per game. Miami managed to come up with a pair of interceptions for the second game in a row last week, but it didn't force Illinois to punt once. Rookie linebacker Nate Gerbus led all players with 10 tackles.
Miami has been overmatched on both sides of the ball each time it has taken the field this season. The RedHawks should fare much better in this one against a CMU squad that has been hindered by injuries to its starting quarterback and tailback. Miami may have to turn over the keys to the offense to Gearing if Boucher is shut down once again.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Miami-Ohio 24, Central Michigan 20

UFC Odds and Picks
By: Hugh Citron
LAS VEGAS -- UFC Fight Night, Wednesday from Atlantic City (9 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1), brings us a key bout in the lightweight division between sixth-ranked Donald Cerrone and seventh-ranked Jim Miller. Cerrone is a -250 favorite around Las Vegas, with Miller getting about 2-to-1 odds on the takeback.
Cerrone (23-6) has won his last three fights and has fought most of the top fighters in the division. A win here over Miller might just vault him into the title picture in the loaded 155-pound division.
His last fight, probably his most impressive, was a submission win over always-tough Edson Barboza in April. Despite being in trouble early in the first round, Cerrone was able to rally later in the round, knocking Edson down with a perfect jab and then finishing him with a rear-naked choke to earn Performance of the Night honors. In January, the "Cowboy" earned KO of the Night with a beautiful head kick to finish Adriano Martins.
Also on his resume are some nice wins over top guys like Jamie Varner (September 2010), Dennis Siver (October 2011) and Evan Dunham (November 2013), to mention just a few. He's also shown well in losses to top fighters like Nate Diaz (December 2011) and Benson Henderson (April 2010).
Cerrone has always been a popular fighter with fans with his come-forward and aggressive style, which usually makes for exciting fights.
Miller (24-4), meanwhile, has long been one of the toughest customers in the lightweight division. He is on a little two-fight win streak of his own and can make a jump up in the division with a win here. Losses to Diaz (May 2012), Henderson (August 2011) and Gray Maynard (May 2009) have stopped Miller in the past from making a big move in the loaded division.
This should be an action-packed fight with two guys who both come forward and bring the action. Cerrone figures to want to keep this fight standing, as he has the edge in striking; if it becomes a wrestling match, the edge goes to Miller.
Miller also has something of a home-court advantage, as the fight is being contested in his home state of New Jersey, which certainly can't hurt if it goes to the cards.
The Linemakers' lean: I make this fight pretty even with only a slight edge to the "Cowboy," but not enough to merit laying -250. I'm going to take a shot with Miller and the fairly nice price of 2-to-1 to pull off a minor upset and get the win Wednesday night.

Got Questions? We've got answers from experts and parents who've been there.
To take a rectal temp, first dab petroleum jelly on the bulb of the thermometer. Place your baby belly-down on your lap or on a bed or changing table, then gently insert the bulb 1/2 to 1 inch into your child's rectum. Loosely hold the thermometer in place with two fingers until it beeps. To get an accurate reading using an oral thermometer, wait at least 15 minutes after your child has had anything hot or cold to eat or drink before you take his temperature. For babies, a digital rectal thermometer provides the most accurate reading; you can switch to an oral one when your child turns 3. --Avery Hurt

The Cincinnati Enquirer
Alan Cumming and Jennifer Jason Leigh, both respected actors with rich, diverse resumes, pooled their talents to write, produce, direct and star in the film.
The result is a bracingly smart, sorrowful and funny look at how people strain the fragile bonds that hold marriages and friendships together.
The entire film takes place at the home of Sally (Ms. Leigh), a movie star, and Joe (Mr. Cumming), a novelist about to jump into movie directing, on the day they celebrate their sixth anniversary.
The party carries some heavy freight — Joe and Sally recently reconciled after a long separation and are trying to have a baby.
Things between them look plenty cozy at first, but as the movie unfolds, it becomes clear that not all the jagged edges have been made smooth. Throw in a house full of close friends (plus a few loose cannons), buckets of champagne and a late-evening dose of Ecstasy, and these poor kids have a snowball's chance in L.A. of waking up unscathed.
Complicated dynamics drive the evening's twists and revelations.
On hand are the perfect married couple Cal and Sophie (Kevin Kline and real-life wife Phoebe Cates), with adorable children in tow (the actual Kline children). Cal and Sally are working on a movie together, while Sophie and Sally have been friends for 20 years. And Sophie doesn't think much of Joe's parental prospects.
On the other hand, Sally doesn't much appreciate Joe's deep friendship with the beautiful photographer Gina (Jennifer Beals) who became his listening post during the breakup.
A pretty young movie star (Gwyneth Paltrow), Sally's director (John C. Reilly) and his neurotic wife (Jane Adams), a lovesick violinist (Michael Panes) and uptight neighbors (Mina Badie and Denis O'Hare) keep the emotional pot astir as the hosts inch their way toward a meltdown.
That ensemble creates a fascinating spectacle, both familiar and voyeuristic at the same time.
The Anniversary Party is an encouraging sign, both for the potential of low-budget, digital video movie-making and for the potential of talented actors to bring fresh ideas to the other side of the camera.

Authorities in Bangladesh on Saturday ordered temporary shutdown of nearly 300 garment factories as several thousand workers took to the streets demanding higher wages.
Officials and reports said the management of garment factories shut production at suburban Gazipur and Savar areas at the outskirts of the capital Dhaka after over 10,000 workers came out of the units and blocked transport movement on Dhaka-Tangail Highway as they were declined the leave for the scheduled rally at Suhrawardy Udyan.
"Several vehicles were damaged while the branch office of a bank and showroom of Singer were partly damaged as the workers staged the protests," a journalist who covered the incident said.
Police said vehicular movement resumed on the highway as the workers marched towards Dhaka to join the rally.
The workers unions have been demanding the minimum monthly wage of $100 or 8,114 Takas while the factory owners said they could raise the amount to as high as 3,600 Takas or 20 per cent due to gloomy global economic conditions as government panel is currently examining the wage structures.
Bangladesh is the world's second-largest garment exporter with over 4,500 factories which account for nearly 80 per cent of the country's $27 billion annual exports paying a worker the minimum wage of $38 a month.
Widespread protests for wage hikes in 2006 and 2010 led to deadly clashes, leaving dozens of workers dead and hundreds of factories vandalised but Saturday's protest was the first major one since the deadly collapse of the Rana Plaza garment factory in April this year that killed at least 1,127 workers.

I live in Los Angeles so it's hard to find local farmers for things like beef, pork and poultry. I myself am a vegan, but the rest of my family still eats meat, so I am begging them to buy from smaller local family farms. They basically told me if I find it, they will buy it. I have checked local farmers markets and there are lots of great vegetables and fruits. The most I could find meat wise was chicken, which is better than nothing.

Double amputee Oscar Pistorius is going to the London Olympics after being selected in South Africa's 4x400 relay team.
Pistorius is set to become the first amputee track athlete ever to compete at the games. South Africa's Olympic committee picked him on Wednesday.
The selection eased Pistorius' disappointment at his failure to qualify in the individual 400 meters. The 25-year-old South African, who runs on carbon fiber blades, missed out by less than a quarter of a second at his final qualifying race at the African championships last week.
Pistorius made history last year by qualifying for the world championships, where he won silver in the 4x400. The decision to leave him out of the final race caused controversy.
Pistorius won several medals at the Beijing and Athens Paralympics.

Rohit Shetty is undoubtedly the most commercial director in Bollywood today! And no wonder, all actors and actresses want to work with the 'Singham Returns' director.
One such person is Alia Bhatt. But when we asked Rohit about the same, Rohit simply shrugged off saying, 'Alia is a terrific actress and if there is ever a role which I think will fit her, I will definitely cast her in it. As of now, I don't have anything in mind. But if I and Alia come together for a film, it has to be big. Just like Kareena and me"
With most newcomers becoming a rage these days, we definitely asked if Rohit will drop his usual favourites- Ajay Devgn and Shah Rukh khan for a Varun Dhawan or maybe a Ranbir Kapoor. The calm and composed director sweetly retorted, "Today newcomers are way more intelligent and the entire breed of newcomers that we have today has some really talented actors. So if I get a chance, why not? But abhi ke liye main ajay aur Shah Rukh ko leke hi khush hoon! Plus, everyone would want their films to be successful and given the huge budget of my films, I really need someone like SRK or an Ajay Devgn because they are superstars. I hope most of these new actors get there very soon."
Rohit Shetty's 'Singham Returns' releases this Friday and stars Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Amole Gupte.

In the past our survival depended on recognizing and being suspicious of difference. If people were in and of our group, we could assume good intent. If people were not in and of our group, we would be safest to assume evil intentions. Vestiges of that belief are retained in our behavior. Palestinians face Israelis across hopeless barriers of mistrust. Christians shout down Muslims without letting their voices be heard. And we argue endlessly about the efficacy of racial profiling in keeping our communities safe.
What the catalogue of fault lines illustrates is that the atomized homogeneous groups that existed in the past are no longer the truth of our world. Our planet will not survive if we cling to the verities of the past. We must recognize that we are part of one group, one family -- the human family. Our survival as a planet depends on it. We are part of one family, and we are fundamentally good.
What difference does goodness make? Goodness changes everything. If we are at core selfish, cruel, heartless creatures, we need to fight these inclinations at every turn and often need strong systems of control to prevent us from revealing our true (and quite ugly) selves. But if we are fundamentally good, we simply need to rediscover this true nature and act accordingly. This insight into our essential goodness has shifted how I interact with other people; it has even shaken how I read the Bible.
Goodness changes the way we see the world, the way we see others, and, most importantly, the way we see ourselves. The way we see ourselves matters. It affects how we treat people. It affects the quality of life for each and all of us. What is the quality of life on our planet? It is nothing more than the sum total of our daily interactions.
Each kindness enhances the quality of life. Each cruelty diminishes it.
If we believe that we are fundamentally cruel and selfish, we act accordingly. The targets of our nastiness feel the effects of our malice. And the consequences of our cruelty are evident in our health. Meanness shows on our faces. Churlishness shows up in our bodies as stress and illness. It is also true that when we recognize our fundamental goodness, we act differently. And we feel different. We are happier, healthier. God is pretty smart. It feels good to be good. And we know it! When we attend to our deepest yearnings, our very nature, our life changes forever, and, person by person, so does our world. We are made for goodness by God, who is goodness itself. We are made for and like God, who is the very essence of goodness. The creation stories in the Hebrew Bible underline these truths about us. These stories do not set out to tell us scientific facts. They set out to tell us governing truths, truths that affect how we live our lives. Whether, like Mpho and me, you read the Bible as sacred text or, if as one who does not share in the Abrahamic faiths, you read it merely as good literature, it offers insight and wisdom distilled from centuries of human experience. And the fundamental point of the creation stories is that we are made by God, for God, like God. But what does this mean? In the first book of the Bible, the Book of Genesis, there are two creation stories. Each tells a particular truth about us. In the first Genesis story God speaks creation into being. Turn with me to these beautiful words. Let us read them for the profound truth they tell rather than for scientific accuracy.

DMK, a key constituent of UPA, on Thursday said it would not support any hike that might affect the poor and that its party MPs would take up the latest rail fare increase issue with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. "DMK will not support any hike that will hit the poor," party chief M Karunanidhi said when reporters asked him about the railway fare hike announced by PK Bansal earlier on Wednesday. Replying to another question, he said his party would take up the matter with the Prime Minister through its MPs.
In the pre-budget measure, the government has announced an across-the-board increase in rail passenger fares with effect from January 21 to net an additional Rs6,600 crore a year, the first such increase in a decade. The hike which comes a month before the presentation of the railway budget, has been slammed by opposition parties which are demanding a rollback.

Sand Slides Falling Sand Game
5,000 - 10,000 downloads
- Graphics
- Physics
- Different game modes
- Achievements and local leaderboards
- Nothing special
"Gesture playing"
Reviewed by Emmanuel Lund / Jan 22, 2013
Sand Slides is an original casual game that makes the most of gesture playing
I personally love how smartphones are unlocking some new and original game dynamics we couldn't have imagined a few years ago. Touchscreen, accelerometer, GPS... all of them are mobile devices built-in features that give more chances for game developing. Sand Slides is one of those games: a casual game that makes the most of touchscreen and gestures to become an original title.
Thus, due to its originality, gameplay needs to be explained. In the play area, there are three Sand Chutes. Different colored Sand will fall into the play area from the Sand Chutes during the game. At the bottom of the play area are Sand Collectors. You must guide the sand into the same color collector by drawing bars and buckets with gestures (sliding). Once the sand has got to the right collector, the "line" must be removed by tapping in order to not disturb next collection of sand. You can draw buckets to keep the sand until it's time to guide it to a collector. Only three slides can be drawn in the play area.
If you collect the wrong colored sand, the grains counter at the top of the play are will decreases. When this counter reaches zero the game is over. There are three different game modes: Practice, Marathon and Challenge. There are specific records halls for all of them as well as lots of achievements to unlock.
The game is set in cute 3D graphics, physics of the sand are quite real. No complaints about touchscreen (which is what really matters in this gestured game). Great game.
Guide the sand into the right colored chutes, by drawing slides and buckets with your finger, but watch out! You will need to pick up the pace in order to keep on top of the action.
With simple game play rules, Sand Slides is a very unique addictive puzzle game that is simple to pick up but will take some time to master.
Fixed infinite advert bugs.
Some lists where this application appears: Reviewed by Emmanuel Lund.
Hard to control, clunky, not fun..... I had high hopes for this one. Save your money.
This game is garbage, and it makes no sense at all. Total waste of money!
very original puzzle game. really addictive gameplay (due to actual game mechanics not just achievements) once you get into the swing of it.
Very addictive!
Good game!!
Addictive, watch out!
One of the classics on the iPhone. Well worth it.

DURHAM, N.C. Any way you look at it -- by sheer weight, species diversity or population -- the hard-shelled, joint-legged creepy crawlies called arthropods dominate planet Earth. Because of their success and importance, scientists have been trying for decades to figure out the family relationships that link lobsters to millipedes and cockroaches to tarantulas and find which might have come first.
In a scientific and technological tour de force that was nearly a decade in the making, a team of scientists from Duke University, the University of Maryland and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County have compared genetic sequences from 75 different species to draw a new family tree that includes every major arthropod lineage. Some of the relationships are so surprising that new names had to be coined for five newly-discovered groupings.
The work, which was supported by the National Science Foundation, appears early online Wednesday in the journal Nature.
A big surprise to tumble out of the new tree is that the closest living relatives of insects include a small and obscure group of creatures called remipedes that were only discovered in the late 1970s living in a watery cave in the Bahamas. With linear bodies like centipedes, simple legs and no eyes, it was thought that this small group -- now placed with cephalocarids in the newly-named Xenocarida or "strange shrimp" -- would be found at the base of the crustacean family tree.
Now, after analyzing 62 shared genetic sequences across all the arthropods, the researchers are putting the strange shrimp together with the six-legged insects, Hexapoda, to form a new group they dubbed Miracrustacea, or "surprising crustaceans." As a "sister clade" to hexapods, the Xenocarida likely represent the sort of creature that came onto land to start the spectacular flowering of the insect lineage, said Cliff Cunningham, a professor of biology at Duke who led the study.

I would like to hear what kind of experiences you may have had with Django in creating social network type sites. Any experiences in using any of the Django powered social network "frameworks" would also be welcome.
