Happy Birthday, Matt Smith: 'Doctor Who' star's 11 best GIFsAdd to Favorites | Doctor Who
Technically there's only two Matt Smith episodes of "Doctor Who" left, but since it's the 11th Doctor's birthday, this is a time for joy, not sadness.
Smith turns 31 years old Monday (October 28) and the best way to pay tribute to that is in the parlance of the modern day internet: animated GIFs. So sit back and enjoy 11 of the best GIFs featuring Smith's Doctor.
After sending Matt your fondest birthday wishes, resume preparing for the 50th anniversary special, "The Day of the Doctor." Smith's Doctor will join forces with David Tennant's in the episode, which airs November 23 on BBC America.

Eastern Joins Top 100 in U.S. News and World Report Rankings
Willimantic, CT - Eastern Connecticut State University is ranked in the top 100 regional universities in the North in U.S. News and World Report's 2011 edition of Best Colleges. Eastern was the 28th top public institution on the list and was also the highest ranked university among the four Connecticut state universities.
"I was delighted to learn that Eastern Connecticut State University is ranked in the top 100 regional universities in the North by U.S. News and World Report," said Eastern President Elsa Núñez. "The news that we are now ranked in Tier One is a tribute to our entire campus community. Tier One institutions are subject to a rigorous assessment and are ranked based on criteria that include peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving. To be included in the U.S. News rankings means our faculty and staff are making great strides in improving our academic reputation as they develop strategies to improve retention and graduation rates and other important assessment measures. Students are declaring their majors earlier; seeking out tutoring and other academic support services; becoming more involved on campus; and more clearly understanding the connections between their classroom and co-curricular learning. This is a very proud day for our faculty, staff, students, and alumni."
The U.S. News and World Report rankings include reviews of more than 1,400 schools nationwide and are available at www.usnews.com/colleges. They will also be published in the September issue of U.S. News & World Report, on newsstands starting Aug. 31. The North region includes colleges and universities from New England, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.
Over the past two decades, the U.S. News and World Report rankings, which group colleges based on categories created by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, have grown to be the most comprehensive research tool for students and parents considering higher education opportunities.
The 2011 Best Colleges program provides the most thorough examination of how more than 1,400 accredited four-year schools compare on a set of 16 widely accepted indicators of excellence. Among the many factors used to determine the rankings are peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving.

Hello Jay,
Comments below.

>> messing with
> this).
>> I want my server to respond to:
>> testwww.heyjay.com
>> www.heyjay.com
>> testssl.heyjay.com
>> ssl.heyjay.com
Each of the ssl servers are going to need their own IP address.
apache+mod_ssl just doesn't work any other way (well ok, different
ports work too). This is in the faq for apache+mod_ssl.
"Why is it not possible to use Name-Based Virtual Hosting to
identify different SSL virtual hosts?"
>> NameVirtualHost *
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You need more of these. Let's start with ip
addresses. I will use 10.0.0/8 addresses in this example. You will
need something like this:
DNS settings:
testwww.heyjay.com 10.0.0.1
www.heyjay.com 10.0.0.1
testssl.heyjay.com 10.0.0.1
ssl.heyjay.com 10.0.0.2
You can put the non-ssl servers all on the same ip, even one that
serves ssl traffic too. One ssl server per ip address though, or at
least put each of them on distinct weird non standard port. This
example puts each ssl server on a distinct ip address.
Get apache to listen on the right ip addresses and ports.
listen 10.0.0.1:80
listen 10.0.0.1:443
listen 10.0.0.2:443
Setup the NameVirtualHosts directives. These should match your listen
statements. Once you put ip/port combinations in NameVirtualHost
directives, you can't use wildcard NameVirtualHost directives (like
you have above), or wildcard VirtualHost directives.
NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.1:80
NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.1:443
NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.2:443
Now the VirtualHost sections:
>> <VirtualHost testwww.heyjay.com:80>
Change the line above to:
<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1:80>
>> ServerName testwww.heyjay.com
>> SSLEngine off
>> DocumentRoot /var/www/heyjay/testwww
>> </VirtualHost>
>> <VirtualHost www.heyjay.com:80>
Change the line above to:
<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1:80>
>> ServerName www.heyjay.com
>> SSLEngine off
>> DocumentRoot /var/www/heyjay/www
>> </VirtualHost>
>> <VirtualHost testssl:443>
Change the line above to:
<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1:443>
>> ServerName testssl.heyjay.com
>> DocumentRoot /var/www/heyjay/testssl
>> SSLEngine on
>> SSLCertificateFile server.crt
>> SSLCertificateKeyFile server.key
>> SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
>> </VirtualHost>
>> <VirtualHost ssl.heyjay.com:443>
Change the line above to:
<VirtualHost 10.0.0.2:443>
>> ServerName ssl.heyjay.com
>> DocumentRoot /var/www/heyjay/ssl
>> SSLEngine on
>> SSLCertificateFile server.crt
>> SSLCertificateKeyFile server.key
>> SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
>> </VirtualHost>
Both your ssl vhost sections above refer to the same cert. Use one
certificate for each SSL server. This way you can give users the
option of telling their browsers to remember your cert and not bug the
user next time they load the page.
I like to strip the passphrase from my certs because I don't like to
enter a passphrase each time I restart the server, reboot or
otherwise. <disclamer>I am aware of the risks of doing this. You
should decide if you are ok with those risks before stripping the
passphrase from your certs. This setup works for me, make sure it
works for you.</disclamer>
#apache on freenode is a good irc channel for this sort of thing on a
real time basis.
Hope that helps. Good luck.

I always order the pizza for delivery here. rather than that junk food feeling after ordering yourself a huge pizza - you feel like youve eaten a good and healthy pizza! the arugula and procuitto is the best and finish off with a Tiramsu and you get the italian experience in your living room while watching american idol! what could be better!?
Posted by Disappointed on 04/25/2009
Went for a quick bite before a concert. I ordered a "special" described as tri-color pasta (linguine) with garlic, oil, fresh tomatoes and sea scallops. I don't remember if the waiter described how the scallops were cooked (ie sauteed, grilled, whatever). The dish turned out to be fresh pasta, which I like; it was in a bland sauce, with a lemony flavor, not really garlicky at all. But the scallops - there were about nine of them plopped on top of the dish - were, to my taste, undercooked, and utterly without any flavor whatsoever. They had either been steamed separately for a very short time and simply placed on the dish or perhaps had been thrown on top of the pasta while still in the pan and covered for a few seconds. Other than the application of heat, there was no preparation whatsoever. If you're the type of person who enjoys breaking open a scallop shell at the beach and eating it alive, you would enjoy this dish. I'm not big on sending things back (I must assume that this preparation was intentional), so I just ate the pasta and left the scallops on the plate. When the busboy came to collect the plates, my wife told him to tell the chef that the scallops were not properly cooked. I doubted he understood what she was saying and sure enough, he brought back a doggy-bag. My wife then told the waiter, who I could see, told the maitre'd, who chose not to come over to the table. Perhaps he thought we were looking for a freebie, but i would've liked to discuss it. My daughter ordered Scampi, which was okay, but also lacking in flavor. The chef apparently has no interest in garlic. I would go there again, but I would interrogate the waiter about fish preparation or order something else.

We have been more than just loyal customers for about a year now - until recently. We loved the food and the environment but the service is just subpar- can't even describe it. The manager and the host are both rude - they ruined a handful of our nights.

SO it was one of the cold January Saturdays where no one wanted to venture too far from the neighberhood so we decided to pop into Pappardella. It was busy when we arrived so we waited by the bar and grabbed some (huge) glasses of wine and were treated to bruschetta by the bartender. A good start so far. We were seated shortly after and the waitress went over the specials which all sounded like reliable, hearty Italian fare (ossobucco, fra diavolo).. When she got to the lasagna though I was sold. It arrived perfectly hot, gooey and ooozing with a swirl of cheeses and sauces. I have to say that my wifes lasagna conquers all but Pappardella has just dethroned her. Sorry babe but it's really that good.
Posted by Tony on 01/12/2009
I've eaten at Pappardella at least a couple of dozen times over the past years, and have always been pleased with the quality of the food and the efficiency of the service. I go here not only because I can depend on the food, but because I know I'm guaranteed a pleasant time.

Went there last night and it started off well with the wonderful NYC treat of sighting a very impressive celebrity sitting at one of the front tables. The staff was very attentive, nice atmosphere, the appetizers were good and the house Merlot great! All was well unitl I ordered the fish special - it was actually so bad I couldn't even eat it - with a small portion of tasteless potatoes - very disappointed. My boyfriend was taking me out for the holiday before he was leaving so I did not want to say anything to the waitress... on our romantic evening but YUCK! Oh and the fish that was inedible was almost $30.
Posted by beefytee on 09/03/2008
I have been with friends more than a few times now and it is consistently pretty good. I generally go with a pasta dish and the best I have had is the penne bolognese. It was really something special. I would steer clear of the squid ink pasta with caperberries, just doesn't quite gel. Service wise it has been hit or miss. It seems management isn't interested in forcing everyone into a mold, so the waitstaff's personalities shine through, for better or sometimes worse. Wine list is a bit over priced, but hey...it's the Upper West Side. Friends are always happy with the quality of food, even the pizza was well accepted. Over all I'd say it's a nice night out. Don't go expecting Babo and you probably won't be disappointed.

'The Bachelorette' Season 10 premiere: A party crasher and moreAdd to Favorites | The Bachelorette
We were able to screen most of the premiere of Andi Dorfman's "Bachelorette" season (the rose ceremony is kept top-secret) and are here to offer you a few juicy tidbits before the big night on Monday (May 19). Read on for the dirt, but be warned of mild spoilers.
"The Bachelorette" premieres Monday, May 19 at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT before moving to its regular time period of 8 p.m. ET/PT on Monday, May 26, on ABC.
- First off, we were a bit hesitant about Andi as "The Bachelorette," but she really won us over in the premiere episode. She's so bubbly, and she makes everyone feel so welcome. Andi actually strongly reminds us of our two favorite "Bachelorettes," Ali Fedotowsky and Jillian Harris.
- We can tell you that watching Eric Hill, the contestant who died in an accident after he was off the show, is going to be tough -- and we don't even know him. He is so sweet that his intro with Andi at the limo arrival was actually a little emotional, knowing what happens to him. Also, Chris Harrison does a nice intro dedicating the season to Hill at the top of the episode.
- JJ the "pantsapreneur" wears a bowtie and looks like a pimped-out, 30-years-younger Bill Nye the Science Guy.
- There's a party crasher. We won't tell you who it is, but if you're a regular reader of all things "Bachelor" here at Zap2it, you'll know we aren't his biggest fans. His encounter causes Chris Harrison to have to say things like, "I'll take care of it, that's what I do" and "If you really respect her, you'll respect her wishes." Also, do not mess with Chris Harrison (as if we had to even say that).
- There's a guy Andi keeps going on and on about how hot he is and we don't actually find him that hot, so that's interesting. But her d-bag radar pings about one guy that totally pinged our d-bag radar too, so at least there's that.
- As an Iowan, we're already very partial to the Iowa farmer who is super nice and very easy on the eyes. Team Chris!

Square Enix is known for giving us elaborate trailers so that we can stare in awe and wonder what the game is going to be about. Unfortunately, this year at the 2010 Tokyo Game Show, the trailer for Final Fantasy Agito XIII lasted only several seconds, giving us quick glimpses of a few fights and some landscapes.
It does appear that the cast in the game are a bunch of students, as we saw a young schoolgirl in a noticeably short skirt wielding a giant hammer. The gameplay appears to be action oriented, with a targeting system similar to that in Crisis Core. Even if we could understand Japanese, the trailer was over so fast that all we could make out was that there will be some giant mechanical foes as well as chocobos to ride on.
At the end of the series of painfully short trailers, which included images for Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Square Enix revealed that a Fabula Nova Crystallis conference will be held January 11, 2011, so we can assume all the information is being saved until then.

Shaq to Kobe: "I don't compete with little guards"
Sep 27, 2010, 10:41 AM EDT
They are older and a little less petulant, but don't think the Shaq v. Kobe rivalry is dead.
In his post Game 7 press conference last June, Kobe Bryant was quick to say last year that "I got one more (ring) than Shaq." That rivalry still matters to him (Kobe uses everything for motivation).
Shaquille O'Neal responded at ESPNBoston.com:
"My first thought [after hearing that] was, 'Well, I guess I'm still relevant,'" O'Neal said. "Kobe is still thinking about me, I guess. I'm still someone to be measured against.
"But I don't compete with little guards. I don't compete with little guys who run around dominating the ball, throwing up 30 shots a night — like D-Wade, Kobe.
"Now if Tim Duncan said it, I'd be pissed. He's the only guy I'm competing with. If Tim Duncan gets five rings, then that gives some writer the chance to say 'Duncan is the best,' and I can't have that."
Shaq has a real shot at another ring this season. So does Kobe. Wade's got a ways to go, but he was at the heart of moves this summer to put himself in this conversation as well.
Duncan, well, he may not get any more rings but when it comes to being classy about it he'll outpace them all. Easily.

have signed.lakers have also the luxury of having a genius tactician.
- cuzzenbud - Sep 27, 2010 at 12:54 PM
This back and forth between Shaq and Kobe has gotten stale. Shaq is no longer relevant and Kobe is nothing more than a MJ wanna be!
- cuzzenbud - Sep 27, 2010 at 12:59 PM
Could someone please tell Shaq to lay off the haterade!
- hoytdadd - Sep 27, 2010 at 3:34 PM
shaq must have forgoting about his little free style after winning the championship with the heat, cause at that moment he sure sounded like he was competing with kobe for championships!!!

SDSU considers cutting out-of-state recruiting
To save money in tough times, the San Diego State athletic department has considered cutting back on something many of its coaches consider essential — out-of-state recruiting.
Athletic Director Jim Sterk brought it up as a possibility last week at a meeting with coaches and staff. If it happened, it likely wouldn't have much of an effect on SDSU's biggest sports — football and men's basketball. But with state budget cuts and continuing pressure to shave expenses, the idea is on the radar of Sterk and other California athletic directors as the cost of scholarships in the state has increased.
"The biggest thing I don't want to do is limit a coach to where they have to compromise being as competitive as possible," said Sterk, whose department laid off five employees last week. "It's not something we're going to mandate at this point. But we're going to look at where rosters are right now and where they will be in the future. Some sports have more of a tendency to recruit out-of-state and international. It's one of the things we need to consider as we look at everything."
The reason it's being reviewed is because tuition — and scholarships — for out-of-state students cost much more than those for in-state students. According to SDSU, a one-year scholarship costs $29,767 for out-of-state students and $17,491 for California residents. That means that SDSU could give 17 in-state scholarships for about the same cost as 10 out-of-state scholarships.
Cutting those out-of-state costs might make fiscal sense. The question for SDSU coaches is whether it makes competitive sense: By limiting the pool of recruits, will it make it harder for them to win?
In college tennis, foreign players often dominate the roster. SDSU's men's tennis roster had seven foreign players on its nine-player roster for 2009-10.
"I think our sport might be a little more unique because when you look at NCAA Division I tennis, 70 percent or more are from outside the country," SDSU men's tennis coach Gene Carswell said. "We're a little more of a different culture than everyone else, but I will say this: Southern California produces some of our best players in the United States. If I had to be in a state where I was limited to that, California is where I'd want to be."
In men's golf, SDSU has given two of its 4.5 allotted overall scholarships to foreign players. Last week, SDSU men's golf coach Ryan Donovan was in Michigan scouting players at the U.S. Junior Amateur Championships. He also goes overseas every year to check out players.
"It's something everybody at the top level has to do to keep up for sure," Donovan said.
If SDSU did limit the number of out-of-state scholarships it would pay for, Donovan said he'd try to find other money to pay for it.
"Fortunately, we have a lot of good players in our backyard as well, so I'm not going to let that bother me," he said.

The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 (JJ Act), deals with two categories of children — those in need of care and protection, and children in conflict with the law. Now, the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children ) Bill, 2014 (JJ Bill), has been approved by the cabinet to replace the JJ Act. The bill introduces special provisions to improve child rights and incorporate international obligations in the legal framework. Corporal punishment and ragging have been made specific offences. Both corporal punishment and ragging at the school level legitimise the abuse of power, and violate dignity and privacy. It may teach the child that violence, aggression and abuse of authority is the way to make people behave the way you want, and thus prepares the ground for ragging at the college level or later.
Children are subject to corporal punishment in institutions meant to care for and protect them, such as schools, hostels, orphanages, juvenile homes and even families. Currently, a number of legal provisions under the Indian Penal Code can be used to prosecute someone who inflicts corporal punishment on a child at a school or a custodial institution. These include abetment of suicide committed by a child, voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt, causing hurt by dangerous weapons. But Sections 88 and 89 of the IPC provide immunity to a person inflicting corporal punishment on a child if such punishment is "in good faith for the child's benefit". This defence is incompatible with the Constitution and with India's obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which protects children from torture and cruel treatment. So, Section 88 needs to be amended and Section 89 needs to be repealed.
Section 23 of the JJ Act criminalises an act that may cause a child mental or physical suffering, making it punishable with imprisonment for a term that may extend to six months, or a fine, or both. This provision does not clearly use the words "corporal punishment", but it has been interpreted as cruelty to children. But many parents would prefer not to go through lengthy criminal procedures. Another factor that deters parents is the danger that school authorities will victimise the child. The Right to Education (RTE) Act explicitly prohibits physical punishment and mental harassment in schools, of children aged between 6 and 14. This provision is not being implemented. Neither are the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights' guidelines on setting up corporal punishment cells.
It is now globally recognised that punishment in school, in any form, hinders a child's development. All educational institutions are custodians of children during the …continued »

In 2008, the Oktibbeha County Humane Society and Starkville Animal Shelter maintained about a 40 percent adoption rate, leaving some 60 percent of animals taken in to be euthanized. However, Anita Howard, shelter manager, said with the help of some new initiatives, that number has not only flipped, but grew to an 80 percent adoption rate in 2012. This year, Howard said the shelter was on track for a 90 percent adoption rate.

"I'm just really glad to be here where you can talk about more than just material things. You can talk about the things you were talking about in classes, which doesn't happen much at other schools.
I've always been interested in biology or something in medicine. It wasn't until I was here and I took molecular techniques and genetics that I fully understood what I was dealing with. We deal with a lot of E. coli, gene splicing, and transcription. It's just really fun.
The best class? That's hard. It's a tie between genetics and molecular techniques. I mean in both the classes, in molecular techniques, especially, you just sit in the lab and you get to work at your own pace and you get to work with your own materials. Molecular techniques and genetics are really similar. With genetics there was a class portion in addition to the lab. In molecular techniques the whole class is just lab, lab, lab. So, I feel like genetics was sort of a supplement to that. They both just complement each other. I've also taken ceramics for three years and I really like it because I feel like it's kind of my gateway, I guess, to get away."

NEW YORK—The Department of Transportation (DOT) released a report Friday determining that a pilot residential parking permits (RPP) program for neighborhoods near two stadiums was unnecessary, despite the influx of traffic on game days.
State Sen. Daniel Squadron's legislation, which would enable RPP around the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, was approved by the City Council with home-rule when introduced last year. But, the DOT did not see need for the program or funding to implement it.
RPP aims to open up 20 percent of street space for non-permit parking on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis. Permits would not be allowed on commercial streets or spaces with meters and fares already in place, and neighborhoods would determine through hearings whether they wanted to implement RPP.
In response to many community members and elected officials' inquiries, DOT undertook a study about game-day traffic near the two stadiums. Traffic data was taken from the area a half-mile around Yankee Stadium and the Atlantic Yards area on game days and non-game days in August and October 2011. The results found the impact of game-day traffic did not call for RPP.
According to the study, "occupancy increases by about 10 percent in the study area during a game day. However, even under game day conditions, the on-street spaces are not filled." The average occupancy on game days is around 85 percent, according to the DOT report.
On game days, a large number of commuters park in neighborhoods further from the stadium and take public transportation to Manhattan, Squadron said. According to a study by the Downtown Brooklyn Council, 40 percent of on-street parked vehicles in downtown Brooklyn are commuter cars.
Another concern RPP aimed to address was parking for residents of the congested neighborhoods.
"A permit system is long overdue in neighborhoods where residents spend hours circling for parking near their homes—especially on the overcrowded streets surrounding New York City's stadiums and major business districts," Squadron said in a statement responding to the DOT's report. "That's why DOT's rejection of piloting RPP is particularly troubling."
According to DOT's report, 90 percent of stadium guests parked in off-street garages, and almost all on-street parking for games or events occurred within a 10-minute walk of the stadium.
The report also concluded that the increased parking from the game-goers "do not necessarily prevent residents and others from finding on-street space," because on-street vacancies were still available throughout the half-mile study area. Though, these spaces were not necessarily within the 10-minute walking distance area immediately around the stadium.
The DOT cited that non-resident on-street parking occupancy was about 31–45 percent on non-game days and 49–55 percent on game days, so the neighborhoods were seeing an 18 percent increase from fans.
Squadron said the parking permits would provide funds for other NYC transit projects, but DOT's report said the program would be too problematic.
"I urge my colleagues in the legislature to quickly pass my bill to bring permits to neighborhoods that want it. Our legislation empowers communities while protecting small businesses, reducing congestion, and helping fund our subways and buses," Squadron said in his statement.
DOT said that in addition to the traffic being light enough and mostly absorbed by garages, RPP would be a "complicated administrative undertaking for the city." The city has no legislative authority to enforce RPP, and "printing and issuance of permits [and] the large enforcement costs would be borne by all taxpayers."
Many City Council members had expressed support for RPP, but neighborhood meetings that would determine which neighborhoods would implement RPP had not been polled.

Back in training camp, I wrote a story about how the Ravens had joined the growing trend in the NFL of using three-receiver sets. The Ravens used their 11 personnel -- one back, one tight end and three wide receivers -- on 43 percent of their snaps last season, up from 25 percent in 2011. Still, 22 teams used three-receiver sets more often, as 11 personnel was used on 51 percent of the NFL's plays last season.
Their use of 11 personnel paid off in the playoffs, as eight of quarterback Joe Flacco's record-tying 11 postseason touchdown passes came when the Ravens had three wide receivers and a tight end on the field.

Nashville Spoiler: Will Deacon and Stacey Break Up?
Despite the fact that he's a tragic loner with a weird fetish for movies about golden retrievers, Nashville's Deacon Claybourne (Charles Esten) has managed to find himself a girlfriend — the sexy veterinarian otherwise known as Stacey (Susan Misner). It looks like Deacon and Stacey are getting pretty serious; she even went on tour with him! But let's be real, Deacon is head over heels in love with Rayna Jaymes (Connie Britton), which means his steamy romance with Dr. Doo-Me-A-Little is pretty much doomed.
First of all, Susan Misner just nabbed a recurring role on The Americans, which means she'll no longer have time to make musical love to Deacon. "I hate it," Nashville's creator, Callie Khouri, tells TV Line. "She's been so great, and she and [Charles Esten] have incredible chemistry. She's just really, really good."
Callie says that Susan's ability to create a character that lovelorn Deacon could legitimately fall for (considering that he has the hots for Rayna) is a "testament to her and her acting ability."
True that! Stacey's time in Music City might be short lived, but her exit from the show will most likely tie into the fact that Deacon just isn't over Rayna — aka the girl (nay, woman) of his dreams. After all, Deacon and Rayna shared a seriously romantic moment while Lamar (Powers Boothe) was busy having a heart attack, which makes us think it's only a matter of time before they take their passion and make it happen.
Do you think Deacon and Stacey will have an amicable break up, or will this animal-lover break our favorite guitar virtuoso's heart? Spill your theories in the comments!

In a recent post, I rounded up several useful sites for eliminating hassles during business trips. Especially if you're a frequent road warrior, though, you may find that much of the hassle surrounding travel comes during the planning stage. To make things much easier when planning trips, and save money, Kayak.com and Farecast.com offer some of the most unusual and useful analysis tools found online.
Kayak.com is a travel search engine that works like an aggregator—scouring hundreds of travel sites for the best hotel deals, optimized takeoff and return times, and more. The site's secret sauce is that it doesn't require you to keep entering search results to optimize your trip schedule. Instead, it lets you make use of slider bars and other graphical tools to narrow down your optimized travel choices.
As an example, in the screenshot below Kayak is searching many airline schedules for times close to the ones I specified for a trip from San Francisco to Las Vegas. It reports what airlines it is investigating in real-time, and then delivers a long list of options available.
But what if I don't like any of the options on the list? To the left of the list of available flights, Kayak presents me with a slider bar for adjusting my Leave time, and a separate slider bar for adjusting my Return time (see the screenshot below). I simply drag the sliders around and my list of options will auto-adjust as I do so.
Kayak.com was started by founders of Orbitz, Expedia and Travelocity and it is not an online store, where you will tend to be steered toward travel options that benefit the seller. Once you've decided on your hotel choice, your flight choices, and more, the site gives you the option of buying through online travel agencies, consolidators such as Orbitz, or many other providers. I've found it to consistently save travel money, and the graphical interface for narrowing down travel options couldn't be more easy and efficient.
Finally, I am constantly amazed, especially when people are going to buy multiple airline tickets, at how they don't keep their eyes on recent highs and lows in the prices. The market for airline tickets is akin to the securities markets in the sense that one day's price for a given ticket may be much higher or lower than another day's price. For this reason, whenever I research flights online, I go to Farecast.com to look at useful muti-day charts like this one:
As you can see, for any ticket you research at the site, Farecast.com produces a chart with more than two months of price history for that ticket. Pricing averages are also reported. This is a great place to stop when researching your travel, especially if your travel dates are flexible.
Do you have any good tips for business road warriors?

The Sûreté du Québec or SQ (French for "Quebec Security" or "Quebec Safety", but usually translated loosely as "Quebec Provincial Police") is the provincial police force of Quebec. The headquarters of the Sûreté du Québec is located on Parthenais street in Montreal and the force employs roughly 5,163 officers.
The primary function of the Sûreté du Québec is to enforce provincial laws, some municipal bylaws, the criminal code, and many other laws throughout Quebec and to assist municipal police forces when needed. Members of the force can also act by law as forest conservation agents for example. The Sûreté du Québec is also responsible for providing municipal police services to municipalities in the province that do not otherwise have municipal or regional police services. By law, that includes municipalities with under 50,000 people. As such, the force is mainly present in small rural and suburban areas. The force also patrols provincial highways. In addition, the Sûreté du Québec can investigate any incident that involves wrong-doing by a municipal police force or a case where a police intervention caused death.
In the early 2000s, the force integrated many smaller police services (e.g., Drummondville and Saint-Hyacinthe).
In 1900, two distinct provincial police forces were created: the Office of Provincial Detectives of Montreal, in response to a crime wave in that city, and the Revenue Police, whose mission was to collect taxes. In 1902, the government decided that the provincial police should no longer be directed by a judge but by an officer of the police themselves. Augustin McCarthy was chosen as the first chief drawn from the ranks of the police.
In 1922, two headquarters were established, one in Quebec City, headed by McCarthy, and one in Montreal, headed by Dieudonné Daniel Lorrain. The Office of Provincial Detectives of Montreal became part of the general provincial police in that year. The Quebec division included 35 police officers and 2 detectives.
In 1925, police officers started patrolling on motorcycles.
The Quebec Provincial Police admitted in August 2007 that they had used undercover police posing as protestors at the 2007 Montebello SPP meetings. The admission was made after a video captured by protestors was widely circulated in the Canadian media and made available on YouTube Although use of undercover agents at protests of this kind is widespread, the video was especially controversial because it appeared to show one of the officers carrying a rock, suggesting to some the police may have been acting as agents provocateurs by inciting violence.

Putting your arm around a girls shoulder?
What does it mean when you guys put your arm around a girls shoulder? A girl you've known for about a year, you talk sometimes but aren't really... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Well I do it to a lot of my friends now, in order to make it seem normal, but at first I only did it to the few girls I really liked, and now its just a bad habit.
But everything really depends on the context of how he's doing it, for instance if you guys are walking side by side and talking and he suddenly wraps his arm around you and pulls you closer its because he likes you(most likely).
or if your with a group of friends and your talking to someone else and he does it its because he is to some extent jealous that that person has all of your attention and wants it for himself, in short it means he likes you and wants you for himself.
but if its just a casual sort of resting it there then he probably is more likely to just be being friendly.
we were just standing in the queue with his friends waiting to get into a club, I wasn't really talking to anyone else but him.
What confuses me is that his shy friend used to like me until about 2 weeks ago, but he did it right after he left so I don't think he saw us.
- Show Older Hide Older
at that moment I don't know if it was friendly or more, but earlier in the night he seemed like he was flirting. And recently he started sitting next to me in class, away from his friends, and he does tease me more now than before.
Either way he is showing a vested interest in you, I foresee a good outcome for the two of you.
but to give you more info as to why.
From what I can tell three of the four types of attraction have already taken place if not started to.
Physical attraction taken place.
Mental attraction started.
symmetrical attraction has either taken place or been ignored.
chemical attraction unknown.
Just wondering are you going to act on my analysis or are you going to wait and see what happens?
What Guys Said 1
What Girls Said 3
Maybe he wanted to see how you would react to him making a move without having to verbally do so because if you didn't like it then you could have showed him that you don't have the same feelings for him that he might have for you. None of my guy friends that I barely talk to would do that so he defientley has a bit of a crush on you. Doesn't seem like you pulled away so if you have feelings for him then this is a good sign!
Have an opinion?

Repression and Intimidation on Display in Castrogonia
From Martha Beatriz Roque: two photos that capture the art of repression practiced by Castrogonian goons. They are dated January 23rd, 2014.
Her title for these images: "Sentirse fuerte" (To feel strong -- the attitude one must have to survive situations such as this time and time again).
First, a snapshot of two female police officers on guard at the bottom of her apartment's staircase. They are there to block her access to the street.
Imagine encountering this repression on a regular basis.
The second photo captures a police officer cornering dissident blogger Lilliam Ruiz, preventing her from visiting Martha.
Here are the grainy close-ups:
Again, "reforms" you can believe in. Socialismo o muerte! Socialism or death. Or, to quote the devil himself: "Revolution of the humble, by the humble, and for the humble."

Nielsen Begins Online Ad Tracking Service
Looks like TV rating whizkids Nielsen will now be stepping into the confusing world of internet marketing in an attempt to restore some order. Or at least, that's what one hopes. Nielsen is, of course a major player when it comes to TV ratings, and their new product, the imaginatively named Online Campaign Ratings Service, will rate, well, online campaigns to provide data. Nielsen is touting this as a major step forward for online advertising in general. "This new system will provide marketers with a better understanding of their ROI, and will give media companies a much needed tool to prove the value of their audiences," said Steve Hasker, Nielsen's President of Media Products. He added "Perhaps most importantly, marketers and media companies alike will now have a simpler way to measure the combined reach of TV, the web and even mobile advertising. Reach alone doesn't tell the whole story, however, and Nielsen intends to combine the ratings with cross-platform advertising effectiveness metrics to provide a complete view."
So how does this product work? Well, according to the information we have, it will allow Nielsen to combine data they have in their panels with data from third-party partner websites (like Facebook) to accurately measure the behavior and profile of people clicking on and watching ads. So if you visit a website with an ad that is being tracked by Nielsen while you are logged on to Facebook, your information (like age and gender) will be sent to Nielsen. Although this does raise privacy related questions, something that has been in the news quite prominently in the last few months, the ratings company was quick to assure that the data they receive will be viewable only in an aggregate basis, and not an individual basis.
If you are still wondering, check out the video below to see how exactly the system works. And click here to read the press release about the product. The Nielsen Online Campaign Rating Service will be tested during the fourth quarter of 2010 with multiple leading companies.

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
Cheryl Cole
The surprisingly conservative 3 Words appeared in October 2009, featuring collaborations with will.i.am, Soulshock & Karlin, and Syience. Led by the Wayne Wilkins-produced "Fight for This Love," a number one hit and the fastest-selling British single of 2009, the album went platinum in two weeks. Cole's second album, Messy Little Raindrops, followed in November 2010 and fared similarly well, going platinum on the strength of hit singles like "Promise This." Once again, several tracks were produced by Wilkins, while will.i.am, J.R. Rotem, and Free School were involved in smaller capacities.
Cole's career in the U.S. turned into a roller coaster ride, when she was first picked by Simon Cowell to be a judge on the American version of The X Factor, then left the show under controversial circumstances after only three weeks. She then declined to return to the U.K. version of the show and decided to focus on her recording career. Her third album, A Million Lights, featured the Calvin Harris-produced single "Call My Name" and was released in June of 2012 in the U.K. As a measure of just how much the X Factor episode may have hurt her career, the album was not scheduled for American release.
During the back-end of 2012 Cole confirmed that she would rejoin her Girls Aloud bandmates for a reunion tour, which also resulted in the release of charity single "Something New," before the group confirmed in 2013 they had split permanently. After taking a break for much of 2013, she returned to the limelight in 2014 with the announcement she had married Frenchman Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, four years after her split with English soccer star Ashley Cole. That year she regained her place on the judging panel of the U.K. version of The X-Factor, and announced the release of her fourth studio album, Only Human. ~ Andy Kellman & Tim Sendra, Rovi

As an American Soldier it always breaks my heart that she doesn't come here for tours and that I cant buy her music on iTunes. I wish some of my friends knew how brilliant Cheryl is ♥
keep going Cheryl!

The port of Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania may be just 1,380 kms from Kigali by road, but officials there have until now looked on helplessly as almost all Rwandan business slipped passed it to the Kenyan Port of Mombasa, a journey that is about 400kms longer through Uganda.
Slightly above 50% of Rwanda's shipments go through the Northern Corridor route; Mombasa-Kampala-Kigali, and the recent removal of police roadblocks, reduction in the number of weighbridges and improvements in cargo handling at Mombasa is making the route even more user friendly to Rwandan traders.
Confronted by this rude reality, the Government of Tanzania recently dispatched a minister to Kigali on a mission to reassure the business community in Rwanda that the Port of Dar-es-Salaam is also putting behind its inefficient past.
Charles Tizeba, the deputy minister of transport and infrastructure, said congestion at the Port of Dar es Salaam will soon be history and the government had embarked on dismantling non-tariff barriers on the central corridor route.
Just like the Kenyan government did in July, Tanzania is cutting the number of weighbridges from eight to three. Moreover, they will be situated only at entry points. Weighbridges and police roadblocks are the main causes of delays to movement of goods and contribute to the high cost of doing business in East Africa, traders say.
Yet despite that glaring fact, governments have until the recent meeting in Kampala by Presidents Paul Kagame of Rwanda, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda and Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya maintained numerous checkpoints, weighbridges and police roadblocks.
Officers manning these facilities have been notorious for demanding bribes, adding to the high cost of doing business in a region that pledges to operate a common market and a single customs territory.
A study done by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in 2009 on impediments to trade in the region says that in Kenya and Tanzania, the average bribe paid per transaction to a policeman or a customs official is $30 while in Uganda it is between $100-150 per consignment.
Tanzania and Burundi were not part of the Kampala meeting, but Dar too seems to have woken up to the reality that trade barriers are counter-productive.
"We understand the benefits of reducing the cost of doing business; that's why we want to emphasize the new cargo trucking systems, in addition to the new efforts we are putting in place to decongest Dar es Salaam port," Tizeba said during the meeting with traders in Kigali.
Even though the Northern Corridor route had its own share of bottlenecks, Rwandan traders have for long had issues with what they perceived to be Tanzania's reluctance to reduce the number of weighbridges and to decongest the part.
There are also complaints about the amount of money levied as road toll and double weighing of trucks. But Tizeba said that the road toll charged on trucks is computed according to the distance covered and the truck axle load.
"We don't have a flat fee as most drivers are claiming... we charge $6 per 100km for trucks with two to three axles. Those with four and above axle load pay $16 per 100km covered. Therefore, every transporter is charged according to distance covered."
It is these issues that Rwandan traders are demanding for bold action from authorities in Tanzania before they can consider routing their goods through Dar.
"There is still a lot of bureaucracy and inefficiency at Dar that is costing us dearly because of delays," said Alex Mugisha, the executive marketing manager of a local company, Panache.
Dar, he said also lacks modern operating systems.
Theodore Murenzi, the president of the Rwanda Long Distance Truck Drivers Association, says that even the trucking system that the Tanzanian minister spoke of as a new innovation is not properly managed.
"It has been left to private individuals to manage, who on most occasions make it hard for clearing agents to access. This causes delays which sometimes attract unnecessary penalties," he said.
Even as the Tanzanian minister pleaded that those problems will soon be no more, it appears his government will have to do a little more to win back business from Rwanda as frustration seems to have reached government level.
Vincent Safari, the national coordinator in charge of non-trade barriers at Rwanda's Ministry of Trade and Industry, said traders have been complaining about Tanzania's reluctance to remove trade barriers and improve customs efficiency for a long time.
"We have raised the issue of numerous weighbridges and police checks points with Tanzanian authorities many times, but they said they were awaiting results from the studies they are currently conducting on trade barriers," he said.
Safari also revealed that they had formally requested the government of Tanzania to allocate Rwanda land within 10km of the port, where trucks from Rwandan transporters can park to ease congestion, to no avail. "Trucks delay at the port because of congestion and inefficiency of some customs officers," he argued.
While the law requires that custom officers work 24 hours a day, some customs work only half of the stipulated time, Safari added.
He also said fees charged on trucks were too high compared to what cargo transporters pay on the Mombasa-Kampala-Kigali route.
Tanzania charges about $600 per long truck from Dar es Salaam to Rusumo border, Rwanda charges $152 and $76 for semi-trucks, while Uganda charges $200 and $160 respectively, he added.
Tizeba revealed a decongestion plan that includes clearing a site at Isaka, where Rwanda shipments will be checked, verified and then be ferried by trains to the port.
"We have secured money from World Bank and European Union to develop two rail stations at Isaka. The project, once completed in 2015, will see all shipments from Rwanda ferried from Isaka to the port without necessarily having to be verified again at Dar es Salaam. This, we believe, will reduce delays and, hence, the cost of doing trade," Tizeba said.
The minister also noted that authorities were looking at ways of expanding to parts of Tabata and Sikuta, as well as improving cargo handling technology at the port. Tanzania is also in process of procuring over 900 new cargo wagons and 50 locomotives to improve efficiency at the port.
"We shall handle the issue of customs inefficiency with the Tanzanian Revenue Authority to ensure that they come up with a solution right away," Tizeba assured the local business community.
Tibeza warned drivers on engaging themselves in smuggling. "While drivers are complaining about double weighing of trucks, let us not forget that some of the vehicles are used to smuggle ivory and other valuables," he noted.
Hanington Namara, the Private Sector Federation chief executive officer, hailed Tanzania's efforts to ease trade along the central corridor. "This is good news for the private sector. We will now have a better alternative since Dar port is nearer compared to northern corridor's Mombasa port," he said.
But Tanzanian authorities have a lot of work to do to counter competition pressure from Mombasa that seems to enjoy support from top business and political circles.
Recently, President Kenyatta was joined by his Rwandan and Ugandan counterparts to commission a new $66.7 million berth at Mombasa. President Kagame spoke highly of Kenya's commitment to build infrastructure beneficial to the region.
During a recent interview, the chairman of Rwanda Freight Forwarders Association, Fred Seka made a case for Mombasa. "It now takes 2-3 days for a truck to arrive here from Nairobi. I encourage traders to use the Port of Mombasa because things have really improved," he said.
Kenya Ports Authority also recently opened an office in Kigali and it is expected that traders will soon start paying port fees from Kigali.
"We shall be able to pay port fees from here. This will eliminate the need to travel to Mombasa with money and pay physically or the cost of transferring money through the banking system." Seka said.

Masvingo Bureau — The cash-strapped Masvingo municipality is considering temporarily freezing development of new residential areas until the completion of water works. The country's oldest town has a housing backlog of 15 000 people who are on the waiting list. The municipality is undertaking a US$45 million water augmentation programme that will guarantee adequate water supplies.
The city has of late been battling crippling water shortages due to a ballooning population, amid reports that the existing water conveyance and pumping infrastructure was meant for less than 20 000 residents, but the city's population is estimated at 100 000.
Council officials this week disclosed that discussions were under way to pass a resolution freezing opening of new residential areas until the water supply capacity was increased.
The officials said that council was looking for money to bankroll the ambitious multi-million-dollar water augmentation programme that will double water pumping and conveyance capacity to 60 megalitres per day from the current 30 megalitres, but the city's mayor, Alderman Femius Chakabuda, aid council had not yet reached the stage of freezing development of new residential areas.

CHIPLEY — The Chipley High School Marching Band performed its final home game performance Oct. 26 at Philip Rountree Stadium.
The band traveled to Alabama in September to participate in the 27th Annual Daleville Invitational Band Classic.
They presented their marching show "The Sound of Music" and despite having to perform in the pouring rain still managed to score straight Superior marks.
The band, drum major and guard all received Superiors for their performances. Twenty-five bands from across Florida and Alabama converged on Daleville to participate in the long-running classic.
Anyone who attended the CHS football games has been lucky enough to witness the "Spirit of the Tiger" marching band performing during halftime. The show this year included selections from the movie The Sound of Music. "The Sound of Music," "Edelweiss," "Maria" and "Do-Re-Mi" are a few of the songs with which the band regaled the audience.

Having a child in the NICU can be a stressful time for families. Often the road ahead is long and trying. We know that it helps to hear from other families who have been in similar situations. These stories can inspire, reassure and support our families during this time. We invite you to read some stories about our NICU families and know that you are not alone on your journey. Below you will find the list of family stories with summary. Click on the story title for the full story.
My name is Keigan Wade Adkins, and I was born on December 16, 2009, at a mere 3 lbs., 9 oz. Since I was eight weeks early, I had to be rushed from the Naval Hospital to the Betty H. Cameron Women's and Children's Hospital where the nurses and doctors took great care of me during my three-week stay.
On June 7, 2001, I gave birth to my firstborn. My pregnancy was wonderful, and I loved being pregnant. I didn't know the baby's sex until Dr. Robinson delivered him and said,"You have a beautiful boy, but I need to let you know he has a cleft." My husband and I were shocked. Being a nurse, my first concern was whether he had a syndrome. I felt major relief when I heard he was OK. I quickly learned what families feel when they don't have that "normal baby experience."
It all started with a regular scheduled check up on December 27, 2006, that landed me in the hospital on bedrest with preeclampsia, contractions and a placenta abruption. Samantha was born by emergency C-section on December 31, 2006, at 12:29pm. - weighing 3 lbs., 3 oz. This is where our NICU journey began, at least for my husband. Because of my surgery and severe bleeding, I was not able to be with my daughter until three days after her birth.
We didn't know before he was born. I've been asked that many, many times. My answer is always the same, I am very happy we didn't know. For a lot of reasons really...because I had a blissfully ignorant pregnancy...because it wouldn't have changed a thing...but probably even more than these reasons, because the way we did find out was much kinder than any of the other stories I have heard about how and what doctors say when they tell parents: Your baby has Down Syndrome.

Customer comments about Costa 18r 22h C-Shaped End Table:
As the title proclaims, "I love this table!" The more I use it the more I appreciate the stunning simplicity of the design, and the excellent steel fabrication of this table. Despite its curving structure (essentially a single piece of steel) there is more than enough room for those things one might want at one's bedside. What there isn't is the bulk or unnecessary volume of a more prosaic nightstand. Seriously, the longer I live with this simple little piece, the more i admire it's elegance. I write this review as I contemplate buying two more. This is a keeper - and no doubt it will find newer uses as a way to enhance a space effortlessly and unobtrusively. Bravo, Room&Board.
