Is there any way in gvim to rearrange tabs by dragging and dropping them with the mouse? This is behavior I love in Firefox and Chrome.
I know you can do
:tabm n but that requires figuring out exactly how many tabs in you'd like to move to. Using the mouse would be more useful for this spatial task.
Any methods to move tabs left/right by one position would also be useful, since one could remap keys and move tabs without thinking too hard.

Education grant awarded to Civil Rights Museum
The National Civil Rights Museum has been awarded $350,000 in grants for maintenance and education expansion.
Monday, the museum received a $50,000 Community Enhancement Grant from the Tennessee legislature for educational programs.
That brings to $75,000 the amount of funding the museum has been awarded since state Sen. Ophelia Ford first sponsored the request for a Community Enhancement Grant last year.
State Rep. Johnny Shaw (D-Bolivar), who recently joined the museum's board of directors, sponsored the request this year.
"It's right on time for a dream to become, I believe, a reality," said Shaw. "It makes me feel good that I can be a part of this process. I feel like I'm part of what Dr. King talked about."
In addition, the board had asked for $200,000 for maintenance and preservation of the building, which needs to be refurbished every seven years. It was given $300,000 from state funds.
"I think we know a few places where that money can go to use," said Beverly Robertson, president of the museum. "There are a number of areas with infrastructure issues."
With the grant and extra money from the state, Robertson said the museum can add three to four new exhibits.
"Museums are necessary," she said. "If we did not preserve the history, then it would be lost to many. This was a movement that changed America. It's important that we keep that alive."

A father/daughter go racing...

Well last year truly was a dream season. Riding with good friends, no injuries, and much success.
2013 looks to be another great year! I went ahead and had new graphics made to prepare for a year of getting my ass kicked.
I hit a stump while riding at Croom ATV park prior to the first race and landed on my shoulder. I goofed something up in it but still tried to ride the Little Brown Jug enduro the following weekend. that resulted in a severely bruised foot, so I'm not having much luck this year.
At this point I needed to heal up so decided to skip the first race and cheer on Haley! She spent the weekend down at our suspension tuners house/shop/track (Tom Flemming) trying to get her comfortable on the bike. Tom finally hit on the idea of lowering the bike after watching her struggle doing some drills. Eureka!..what a difference it made. Hecontinued to tweak the bike and offer advice over the weekend as she left with the anticipation of having a much better season...Thanks so much Tom!!!!!!!!!
Race #1 took us to Bartow, Florida and the CFTR Badlands HS. Haley has decided to go back to racing Junior girls as there were more participants showing up this season, She had 2 other girls in her class and 33 riders total on her line! There were some nervous parents watching as the big class all funneled into the first corner.
As I watched her disappear out of sight my wife and I exclaimed to each other" She looks like she's actually racing out there!"..
20ish minutes later she comes into view and really looking good.
At this point I'm really excited. Haley has ridden races in the past, but damn if she wasn't racing now! I wait for her to come by the 2nd lap with anticipation....and I wait...and wait...crap....where is she?. I hustle over to Lori in another section and hastily ask "What happened to Haley?" with that familiar feeling of doom. Lori replies"What do you mean? She just came by"
Seems she was looking so racey I hadn't even recognized her...haha!
She comes around to the checker flag and due to the scoring display not working you couldn't tell what place she was in,,seems it was 1st !!!
Seems she managed to beat 8 of the boys too as she won her class and realized finally how good a race can feel when it goes smoothly.
We're so proud of her !!!!

The financial data presented in this document as of and for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 (2Q10), March 31, 2011 (1Q11) and June 30, 2011 (2Q11), are derived from the unaudited financial statements, except where otherwise stated. REVENUES AND GROSS MARGINEmbraer delivered a total of 25 commercial and 23 executive aircraft in 2Q11 (20 light jets and 3 large jets), for an accumulated total of 45 commercial and 31 executive aircraft delivered during the first half of 2011 (1H11) (26 light jets and 5 large jets). As a result, Revenues for 1H11 totaled US$ 2,414.3 million. Considering the above, we believe Embraer is on track to meet its 2011 projected deliveries and Revenue guidance. The mix of revenues and products of the first two quarters of 2011, in addition to the Company's ongoing efforts to improve productivity and efficiency, positively impacted operational results. In this line, Embraer's 1H11 Gross profit margin reached 23.2%. EBIT2Q11 EBIT and EBIT margin were US$ 105.6 million and 7.8%, respectively. For 1H11, the accumulated Operating income margin was 8.3%, which is above the Company's revised guidance of 8%. Research expenses totaled US$ 19.1 million for 2Q11, which coupled with the US$ 19.3 million Research expense from 1Q11, total US$ 38.4 million for 1H11, consistent with the Company's outlook of US$ 90 million for the year. 1H11 Selling expenses reached US$ 202.8 million compared to the US$ 177.9 million in the first half of 2010 (1H10). This increase in Selling expenses comes mainly as a result of an increase in marketing and sales activities. Administrative expenses for 2Q11 reached US$ 64.4 million and were higher when compared to the US$ 51 million for 2Q10. It is important to mention that a portion of the operating expenses are Real denominated and the 11% appreciation of the average Real to the US dollar exchange rate from 2Q10 to 2Q11 negatively impacted those expenses. Also worth noting is the Company's ability to increase productivity and efficiency, which have resulted in higher Gross margins, and allowed the Company to partially offset the increased costs coming from the appreciation of the Real and the increase in labor costs.NET INCOMENet income attributable to Embraer and Earnings per ADS-basic, for 2Q11, were US$ 96.4 million and US$ 0.5328, respectively. 2Q11 Net margin reached 7.1%, and was significantly higher when compared to the 4.2% achieved in 2Q10. The improvement in Net margin comes mainly from a reduction in the Company's Income tax (expense), which posted an expense of US$ 32.3 million in 2Q11 compared to an expense of US$ 66.5 million in 2Q10. Such difference comes mainly as a result of the effect of the exchange rate, which impacted the Company's taxable income and non-monetary assets, as well as the deductible expenses incurred during the period.MONETARY BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNTS AND OTHER MEASURESThe Company's Net cash position for the period decreased by US$ 98.6 million, totaling US$ 406.3 million. Such decrease in Net cash comes mainly as a consequence of an increase in the Company's Inventories, Trade accounts receivable and PP&E which were partially offset by an increase in Trade accounts payable. Coupled with these working capital requirements, the Company also used its cash to acquire an interest stake in Orbisat and Atech.in million of U.S.dollarsBalance Sheet Data (1)(1)(1)2Q101Q112Q11Cash and cash equivalents1.115,21.302,51.350,9Financial assets 1.060,6716,2775,3Total cash position2.175,82.018,72.126,2Loans short-term329,4152,8217,7Loans long-term1.194,01.361,01.502,2Total loans position1.523,41.513,81.719,9Net cash*652,4504,9406,3 * Net cash = Cash and cash equivalents + Financial assets short-term - Loans short-term and long-term(1) Derived from unaudited financial information.Considering the above, Net cash generated by operating activities reached US$ 78.3 million in 2Q11 and helped offset a portion of the negative Free Cash flow (ii) for the period, which totaled US$ 37.6 million. Year to date, the Company has a negative Free cash flow of US$ 163.3 million, which is expected to be reverted during the course of the second half of the year as Inventories tend to decrease as deliveries are expected to recover, thereby meeting the delivery Guidance.

(2) Other assets adjusted correspond mainly of court-mandated escrow deposit and short term marketable securities.(ii) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. The Company calculates Free cash flow taking into account mainly investments in PP&E, product development expenditures, which are recorded in Intangible assets, and changes in short-term investments (Financial Assets). It's important to mention that Operating cash flow does not include the cash invested in product development. It includes changes in Financial assets which do not represent changes in the Company?s net cash position since additions or reductions in Financial Assets reflects changes in the maturity profile of the Company?s short-term investments and, as consequence, does not represent increases or decreases in the Company?s Free cash flow. Additionally, Operating cash flow includes changes in court-mandated escrow deposits, which in its essence is not operational cash and shall be disregarded for Free cash flow calculation purposes. Therefore, Embraer?s free cash flow is represented by the operating cash flow adjusted by Addition to property, plant and equipment (PP&E), Addition to intangible assets, Other assets and Financial assets.Additions to PP&E totaled US$ 92.9 million in 2Q11. Total PP&E includes values related to spare parts pool programs, aircraft under lease or available for lease and CAPEX. Of total 2Q11 PP&E, CAPEX amounted to US$ 31.7 million, which coupled with the US$ 38.8 million CAPEX from 1Q11, total US$ 70.5 million for 1H11 in line with the Company's US$ 200 million outlook for the year. The Company also added a total of US$ 97.8 million to Intangible assets through 1H11. As part of this addition to Intangible, the Company invested a total of US$ 82.6 million in product development, mainly for the Legacy 450 & 500 programs (US$ 33.1 million and US$ 49.5 for 1Q11 and 2Q11, respectively). This is consistent with the Company's revised outlook of US$ 160 million for Development investments. During 2Q11, the Company's total debt increased to US$ 1,719.9 million, compared to US$ 1,513.8 million in 1Q11. Such increase comes as a result of an increase in both Short and Long-term loans which increased by US$ 64.9 million and US$ 141.2 million, respectively. This increase in the Company's total debt comes as a result of the need for additional working capital and cash management to support the Company's ongoing operations. Furthermore, as a consequence of such increase, the Company's total cash position also increased to US$ 107.5 million.Considering the Company's current debt profile, the average loan maturity decreased to 5 years but is still in line with the Company's business cycle. Furthermore, the cost of Dollar denominated loans remained stable and going from 5.6% to 5.5% p.a. and the cost of Real denominated loans increased from 4.3% to 6% p.a. The Adjusted EBITDA to financial expenses (gross) ratio decreased slightly, going from 7.59 in 1Q11, to 7.14 in 2Q11. As of 2Q11, 32.3% of total debt was denominated in Reais.Embraer's cash allocation strategy continues to be the most important tool to mitigate exchange rate risks. In other words, by balancing cash allocation in Reais and Dollar denominated assets, the Company attempts to neutralize its balance sheet exchange rate exposures. Of total cash in 2Q11, 51% was denominated in Reais. The Company's financial strategy continues to positively contribute to the results of the financial activities and at the end of 1H11 such contribution totaled US$ 34.5 million.OPERATIONAL BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNTSin million of U.S.dollarsBalance Sheet Data (1)(1)(1)2Q101Q112Q11Trade accounts receivable449,7404,6466,8Customer and commercial financing46,156,353,8Inventories2.370,52.560,52.696,6Property, plant and equipment 1.137,71.258,01.336,1Intangible722,7729,7832,0Trade accounts payable754,0906,51.036,5Advances from customers1.183,71.096,91.107,0Total shareholders' equity2.931,93.197,63.257,5(1) Derived from unaudited financial information.As the Company has been able to take advantage of some opportunities related to additional deliveries in commercial aviation and due to some planned 2Q11 deliveries that were postponed to the second half of 2011 (2H11), the Company expects a higher number of deliveries in the 2H11. In this line, Inventories increased by US$ 136.1 million and totaled US$ 2,696.6 million in 2Q11. Furthermore, Trade accounts receivable also increased to US$ 466.8 million, as a result of the normal cycle of the Company's operating activities. On the other hand, Trade accounts payable grew to US$ 1,036.5 million and helped to partially offset the negative impact of the increase in Inventories and Trade accounts receivable on the Company's working capital requirements. Advances from customers increased slightly and reached US$ 1,107 million.Intangible increased US$ 102.3 million and reached US$ 832 million at the end of 2Q11. This increase is due to investments made in aircraft program development, mainly the Legacy 450 & 500, which totaled US$ 49.5 million in 2Q11. Furthermore, the acquisition of an interest stake in Orbisat and Atech also contributed to such increase in Intangible. Property, plant and equipment increased by US$ 78.1 million and reached US$ 1,336.1 million in 2Q11, as a result of the investments made in the Company's operations located in Melbourne, Florida and Evora, Portugal, as well as the addition of certain trade-in aircraft supporting new aircraft sales activities and investments in spare parts to support the Company's Pool program activities, which continue to expand as more customers join this program. As a result of the increase in PP&E, 2Q11 depreciation totaled US$ 24.7 million, out of which 45% is CAPEX related, with the remainder being associated with other PP&E items. Customer and commercial financing remained stable and totaled US$ 53.8 million in 2Q11.SEGMENT RESULTS2Q11 Revenues mix by segment varied when compared to 1Q11, as a result of a lower participation from the Commercial aviation and Defense and Security segments, which represented 65.3% and 14.8% of Revenues, respectively. This decrease was compensated by the higher participation from the Executive Aviation segment, which reached 18.1%. Others remained stable at 1.8%.

The air transport industry continued to expand in the second quarter and airlines continue to be very cautious on the capacity management to improve profitability (as per IATA projection nearly US$ 4 billion net profit for 2011). As Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva, Embraer's President of Commercial Aviation, said:" The 1,000 E-Jets order book milestone represents a remarkable market acceptance of the E-Jets family, which has been helping 60 airlines from 40 countries to improve their operations and financials".Deliveries1Q112Q102Q11YTDCommercial Aviation20292545 ERJ 145-222 EMBRAER 17014-1 EMBRAER 1752313 EMBRAER 19011151728 EMBRAER 19565511Recent highlights of the 2Q11 related to the Commercial aviation segment include:Embraer E-Jets order book reached 1,000 mark in seven year after first delivery;In April, CDB Leasing Co. confirmed a second batch of ten EMBRAER 190s to be operated by China Southern.During the Paris Air Show, in June, Embraer announced two customers' new orders as well as the signature of other important agreements with additional customers:Air Lease announced an order for five EMBRAER 175s (already included in the 1Q11 backlog as "undisclosed" customer) and 15 EMBRAER 190s (five orders reconfirmed and five options exercised);Air Astana, from Kazakhstan, took two EMBRAER 190s;Hebei, from China, pending final government approval, will take 10 EMBRAER 190s;Sriwijaya, from Indonesia, signed an agreement for 20 EMBRAER 190s;Kenya Airways signed an agreement for ten EMBRAER 190s;GECAS also signed an agreement for two EMBRAER 190s.In summary, through 1H11, Embraer has booked firm orders for 62 E-Jets and signed agreements for an additional 42 E-Jets, which are expected to be added to the Company's backlog over the course of the following months, once contract negotiations are completed.Commercial Aviation BacklogFirm OrdersOptionsTotalDeliveriesFirm BacklogERJ 145 Family890-8908900EMBRAER 170190322221828EMBRAER 17518928547413653EMBRAER 190519305824349170EMBRAER 195105361417530E-JETS Family1.0036581.661742261TOTAL1.8936582.5511.632261Executive aviationIn 2Q11 Executive Aviation delivered a total of 20 light jets and 3 large jets. Deliveries1Q112Q102Q11YTD11Executive Aviation8402331 Light jets6392026 Large jets2135While the executive jets market is showing early stages of recovery, Embraer was able to announce important sales in recent months. During the Annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition, EBACE 2011, in May, Embraer and Comlux, The Aviation Group announced a contract for the acquisition of three Legacy 650 executive jets and in July, Embraer and Minsheng Financial Leasing Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Minsheng Banking Co., Ltd. signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to purchase up to 20 of Embraer's full line of executive jets. They are expected to be fully converted into firm orders in up to five years and deliveries could commence as early as 2011. With this MoU, Embraer further consolidates its presence in China's business aviation market, following the Company's announcement in April 2011 of a cooperation with AVIC (Aviation Industry Corporation of China) to assemble business jets in China.In April the Company delivered the 200th Phenom 100 jet to the U.S.-based Swift Aviation Group, Inc., of Phoenix, Arizona, and on June 10, the Embraer Executive Jets facility in Melbourne, Florida received the fuselage and wing parts of the first Phenom 100 to be assembled in the United States, reinforcing the Company's target to deliver the first U.S.-assembled Phenom 100 before the end of 2011. The Company already has 65 employees in Melbourne, and is in the process of hiring more this year, keeping its promise to bring the products closer to the customers. July also saw the fuselage mating of the forward, mid and rear sections of the first Legacy 500.Continuing its effort to better serve the market, Embraer also announced during the EBACE 2011 Trade Show relevant improvements in both its Customer Support structure and Authorized Sales Representatives networks in Europe, the Middle East and Africa regions. This referred mainly, to the addition of two new regional customer support and services managers in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and in London, U.K., several new appointments of authorized service center (ASC) to the customer support network, as well as the nomination of the Barbedos Group Limited as the Company's executive jets authorized sales representative (ASR) for West Africa encompassing Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal.DEFENSE AND SECURITYThe Defense and Security market continues to present a favorable scenario for growth, with a series of campaigns underway for various applications including transportation of officials and authorities, training and light attack, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems, aircraft modernization, military transportation and command and control systems and services.As for modernization programs, in 2Q11 two more F-5 BR were delivered to the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). These two units complete 42 deliveries of a total of 46 aircraft. The more recent contract signed to modernize 11 additional F-5 fighter jets are expected to have deliveries commencing in 2013.The test campaigns of the AMX fighters are on-going and the maiden flight of the first modernized prototype is planned for 2012. The A-4 aircraft modernization program is on-going and the modernization activities of the first two prototypes will begin in 2012.India's AEW program is also developing as contracted with work being performed on all three aircraft simultaneously on Embraer's assembly line. Also during 2Q11, one more Super Tucano aircraft was delivered to the Ecuadorian Air Force, completing the delivery of 18 aircraft to this client and bringing total deliveries of this aircraft type to 153. Embraer's sale of eight Super Tucano aircraft to the Indonesian Air Force is in effect. The Company was declared the winner of a bidding competition held by the Indonesian Ministry of Defense, in November 2010. Since then, several administrative phases have been completed, culminating in the final contract, which includes ground support stations and an integrated logistics package. Deliveries begin in 2012.The KC-390 development program is also progressing on schedule with the production of the first prototype expected to start in 2013, followed by first flight in 2014. By the end of 2Q11, 60 purchase intentions for this aircraft had been signed. Following the selection of the first suppliers, other companies were also selected to equip the aircraft with their systems: Rockwell Collins will supply the Pro Line FusionTM avionics system; the environmental and cabin pressure control systems will be supplied by Liebherr Aerospace; Esterline Control Systems will supply the autothrottle system and Messier-Bugatti-Dowty was selected to supply the wheels, brakes, landing gear extension and retraction system, and nose wheel steering manifold. More recently, International Aero Engines AG (IAE) was selected to supply the V-2500-E5 engines, Goodrich Corporation was selected to supply the electro-hydrostatic actuators (EHA), electro-backup hydrostatic actuators (EBHA), actuator electronics, and electrical controls for the primary flight control system and BAE Systems was selected to provide hardware, embedded software, system design and integration support of the flight control electronics. TOTAL BACKLOGEmbraer's firm order backlog was reasonably stable at the end of 2Q11 and totaled US$ 15.8 billion. The following chart presents the Company's backlog evolution through 2Q11. 2011 GUIDANCE REVISIONAs previously mentioned, initial signs of a recovery in the Commercial aviation segment have been observed since the middle of 2010 and a recovery is well underway. Certain specific additional market opportunities have presented themselves during the first half of this year, particularly in the Commercial aviation and Defense and Security segments, and Embraer has been able to take advantage of some of these opportunities. Therefore the Company is revising its Revenue guidance to US$ 5.8 million for 2011. As a consequence of the additional revenue and the Company's ability to leverage its operations and continue to improve its productivity, EBIT margin guidance is also being revised from 7.5% to 8%. Hence, the revised EBIT guidance is expected to reach US$ 465 million. Furthermore, the EBITDA margin projection is also being revised from 11% to 12%. Considering the Company's ability to optimize its program Development investments and also anticipate certain risk sharing partner contributions to such investments, the Company is also revising its Development investment outlook from US$ 210 million to US$ 160 million for 2011. It is important to note that such reduction does not affect the development schedule of the respective programs, particularly the Legacy 450 & 500 aircraft.

Zijderveld will replace Doug Baillie, who has been appointed chief HR officer for the company.
Zijderveld will leave his position as executive vice president for South East Asia and Australasia (SEAA), which he has held since 2008.
Prior to this, he was made chair of Unilever Arabia in 2004 and was chairman of Unilever's Nordic business from 2003. Before joining the company, Zijderveld held a range of marketing and customer development roles in the Netherlands, Italy and Sweden.
Zijderveld will report to Unilever's chief executive, Paul Polman. The current UK chair at the company, Amanda Souriy, will report to Zijderveld.
Paul Polman, chief executive, Unilever, said: "I am extremely pleased to be able to make these changes that strengthen what is already a formidable top team.
"Jan, currently executive vice president for South East Asia and Australasia (SEAA) will bring considerable experience of both Asian and European markets to his new role, building on the competitive position already established, ensuring fast, pan-European delivery of innovation in to the marketplace and integrating the Sara Lee and Alberto Culver acquisitions when the latter has received regulatory clearance."
Zijderveld will join the Unilever executive with his new role. This will not effect Baillie's position on the executive.
Last week, Unilever appointed Paul Nevett as global vice-president for the Unilever brand, effective 1 February.

Saturday was the first Aggie home game of the season.
"The traffic is going to be what you notice the most of, that influx of people," said Shannon Overby, of the Bryan/ College Station Convention and Visitors Bureau.
When the tail-gating ends, around 83,000 fans will flock to Kyle Field. About a half of those folks are from out of town.
"Those people will spend an average, per day, about $94 per person," said Overby.
They'll also stay an average of two-and-a-half days.
Between ticket sales, shopping, eating and sleeping, the twin cities net around $10 million each home football game.
"No rooms for tonight, no, nothing is cancelled," Hampton Inn Manager Ron Fulton said to someone on the phone.
"I have zero. I have zero tonight and that continues through the season," said Fulton.
The Hampton Inn's game day weekends are booked for the next season as soon as the last season ends.
"I probably turn away 10-15 people a night- football games, and so does every other hotel," said Fulton.
Proof, according to Overby, that Aggie fans should be a welcome sight, for B/CS residents.
"We may complain a little bit about the traffic and influx of all the people here, but its keeping our property taxes lower by having them drop their money here," said Overby.

No hot water. No cable as advertised. No food
The view, food and friendliness of staff
Bed comfortable but quality of the room poor. Furniture tired. We were able to open patio doors but there was no proper balcony which we had paid for. The bathroom needed a complete refurbishment. The best part was the location with wonderful sea views.
The lovely staff
On water, private beach, full amenities, very comfortable.
Food prices were too high and they charge a service fee of 10% to every bill which is not the tip.
The location was perfect as a over night stay after our cruise.the front desk was on top of things, right down to making sure we had a taxi at 5:00AM to take us to he airport.
Here's why:
We're not the seller

Howard, once hugely popular -- in the Top 50 from the 1870s to early 1950s, hitting Number 24 in 1920 -- is now a real dad-grandad name, with no visible sign of a revival. Perhaps, to honor a relative, you might want to drop the first syllable and call him Ward. Howard was the surname of an early English noble family, gradually metamorphosing into a first name in the nineteenth century. Notable Howards include tycoon Howard Hughes, director Howard Hawks, politician Howard Dean, and media figure Howard Stern. In literature, there is Ayn Rand's iconic architect Howard Roark, protagonist of The Fountainhead. Strange trivia item: Vampire novelist Anne Rice's given name is Howard Allen. She has said her mother "had the idea that naming a woman Howard was going to give that woman an unusual advantage in the world."

LH: I was born in 1970 and Dad got his voice synthesiser in 1985, so I grew up with him and his speaking voice, although even I now think of his voice entirely in terms of his familiar computerised one. I saw a BBC documentary about him a couple of years ago, which featured him speaking in his actual voice. It was a shock to hear it again because I hadn't heard it for so long - it really took me back.
Your father has famously said he believes his illness has been a blessing because it allowed him to focus on what was important. How do you feel about that, Lucy?
LH: Dad's comment there reflects how determinedly positive his attitude is towards something that most people would consider a major disadvantage. However, I think any relative of somebody with a profound disability would wish away that disability if they could, because you witness an awful lot of suffering and a huge struggle. This is especially true in Dad's case and because he is so determined to overcome his disability he's had to fight harder. Even if he thinks it's a blessing, I wish, for his sake, that he had not developed motor neuron disease.
Of all the things you could be remembered for, Stephen, what would be the most important to you?
SH: I hope to be remembered for my work on black holes, and the origin of the universe.
