In Maya 2011 Essential Training, George Maestri demonstrates the tools and feature set in Maya, as well as the skills necessary to model, texture, animate, and render projects with this deep and robust piece of 3D animation software from Autodesk. This course takes an in-depth tour of Maya's interface, including navigating and manipulating objects in 3D and customizing the workspace. The course also covers object creation and modeling basics, shading and texturing, surface mapping techniques, character rigging, and lastly, rendering and final output. Exercise files accompany the course.
Maya 2011 has a new feature that allows you to draw Bezier curves. Now these are actually different than NURBS curves in the way that they're drawn and manipulated. So let's take a look at how to draw those. Let's go into our top viewport. Go ahead and create a Bezier curve. Now in order to create a Bezier curve, what have to do is you have to click to lay down the first point, and if you drag, you're dragging out a Bezier handle. Now, anybody who has drawn in Illustrator, or any type of graphic drawing program, should be familiar with this method of drawing curves.
So again, all you have to do is click and drag, and what you are doing is you're dragging out the tangent to that curve. So the farther apart they are, the narrower the angle, and are the closer together, the sharper the angle. So again, I can just click and drag. Now, if I don't drag, if I just click, I can create corners, which is actually a very nice thing that you can do. Or if I drag again, I can create whatever type of curve I want.
And to end the entry all you have to do is hit Enter. Once I have this curve, when I go to edit it, my control vertices are Bezier handles. It's very different than that EP curve tool, because it doesn't revert this to a NURBS curve. It retains the Bezier quality of the handles and the manipulation of this curve. Now, these curves can be used to do any sort of operation in Maya. They're just manipulated differently. Now, another thing also notice that we do have a U-direction here, so this actually shows the direction of the curve.
So Bezier curves are really handy, particularly if you're working in motion graphics and you are bringing stuff in from Illustrator, because a lot of those will have Bezier handles as well. And you can certainly use those features now in Maya.

In HTML5 First Look, author James Williamson introduces the newest HTML specification, providing a high-level overview of HTML5 in its current state, how it differs from HTML 4, the current level of support in various browsers and mobile devices, and how the specification might evolve in the future. Exercise files accompany the course.
In the past, there was a clear distinction between the HTML specification and the Document Object Model or DOM API. In HTML5, that distinction has been erased, as the DOM specification is now part of the HTML5 specification. Now, this was driven by many factors, but chief among them is a desire to produce a detailed specification that would result in interoperability across platforms and implementations. That's just a pretty fancy way of saying that HTML5 documents and applications should work the same everywhere.
Now, in order for that to happen how objects are referenced through scripting needs to be explicitly detailed as part of the specification. As such, many features of the DOM that have been used for years but not documented have been added to the specification, and many new events and methods have been added to increase the functionality of things like form processing and selecting and manipulating elements. Now, in addition to the changes to the DOM, HTML5 also includes several built-in APIs that are designed to move the browser towards being more of a native programming platform, reducing or eliminating the need for outside plug-ins and services.
Now, one of the most talked about APIs is the one designed to control playback of audio and video content. This will allow authors to create robust media players and will likely be extended in the future by third- party developers to enhance the power and capabilities of HTML5 based media players. HTML5 also includes an inline editing API. This API allows users to edit content directly on the page, without the use of an external editor. Now, this could be used to create an interface for blogs, content management systems, or to allow clients to update web page content directly within the browser.
Another highly anticipated API is the offline application one. Now, this offline cache API will allow authors to build applications that continue to work even when Internet connections are not available. These applications could then update data when connectivity is restored. Also included is a History API that will enable applications to access the browser history, save history states, and navigate between those states as well. Now, this is going to formalize the behavior of many current AJAX based applications and extend the capabilities of web apps to navigate through application states.
Another very powerful native API allows applications to register themselves as handlers of a URL scheme. What does that mean? Well, using this API, mail applications could register themselves to handle mail protocols. File upload applications could register themselves to handle FTP, and so on. While there is still vigorous ongoing debate about how this interface is going to be finalized, it could become a very powerful part of creating applications with HTML5. Now, the last built-in API is the Drag & Drop interface.
This API allows applications to enable, control, and respond to dragging and dropping page elements. As browser support for HTML5 matures, I expect to see this API in widespread use. Now, in addition to those built-in APIs, HTML5 has a number of related application programming interfaces that either started out in the specification only to be split off later, or APIs that are being developed at the same time and are mentioned frequently along with HTML5. Now, these include the Geolocation application programming interface, the 2D Canvas Drawing API, the Local Storage API, Web Workers, Web Sockets, and a Messaging API.

Texas Tech Senior
40: 5.31
Does a nice job getting leverage, using his hands at the point of attack. Can make the stop at the point of attack or eat blocks. Can anchor and rarely gets pushed off the ball by most blockers. Shows some upfield burst so split the A gap and get pressure up the middle. Can also line up in the 5-technique outside and occasionally get a tackle off-balanced with a quick inside move and upfield burst. Has a decent swim move and is most effective getting pressure on stunts. Has good short-area power with the ability to jolt blocker back and flashes potential to be a dangerous bull rusher inside. Has decent recognition to sniff out a screen pass. Can work laterally down the line in pursuit and plays with a good motor.
Doesn't show a consistent first step to get pressure or penetration. Doesn't really have any great pass rush moves and tends to rely on his strength and motor to beat blocker and work his way to the quarterback. Has minimal range and it shows when you force him to try and make plays in pursuit. Doesn't consistently show ability to get off blocks at the point of attack when he can anchor. Gets pushed back at times in short yardage because he doesn't get low enough.
Whitlock is a powerful run stuffer that is good at anchor and eating space in the middle. He'll occasionally get penetration and be disruptive, but it's not to a level where he can do that much on the next level. He fits best in a 3-4 scheme, where he fits best as a nose tackle, but can also kick outside to end on occasion. A four-year starter that combined for 188 tackles, 30.5 for loss, and 8 sacks.
Whitlock is a player that is going to add quality depth at the next level, but also has the potential to be a starter. As a 3-4 nose tackle, he's the type of guy like Kelly Gregg, that doesn't really stand out, but can eat space, stuff the run, and frees up the linebackers behind him. He can kick out to end on occasion if a team really wants to get beefy and has another quality nose guy on the roster. He's a two-down guy that occasionally can get upfield and put pressure on the QB, but he's not going to get more than 1 or 2 sacks in the pros. And those sacks will only come at points where his motor works and the QB is stepping up in the pocket. He's strong, powerful, and has a high motor, so he'll definitely stick in the pros. The only question is how good does he become. He has the upside to be an impactful starting nose tackle on a quality defense because of his ability to eat space and absorb blocks to free up playmakers at linebacker. Or he could just wind up being a good backup and depth guy like Mike Wright or Mike DeVito.
Whitlock would be a good two-run stuffer, but he's not quite disruptive enough to really be more than a backup in Atlanta. He would probably need to drop around 10 or so pounds to maximize his ability in a one-gap scheme because of his inconsistency as a pass rusher. But you're going to have to pull him on most passing downs and only be a guy that fills a similar niche as Vance Walker. He would probably be better vs. the run than Walker, but like Walker is a guy that is really only good for 20-25 snaps per game and nothing more due to his one-dimensionality.
For a 3-4 team, Whitlock is a good depth guy and potential starter that makes sense taking in the fourth or fifth round.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Strength: 4.0
Point Of Attack: 4.0
Quickness: 2.0
Pass Rush: 2.0
Motor: 3.5

Conrad Mallett talks with financial review team members to discuss the city of Detroit finances on Monday, March 26, 2012. / WILLIAM ARCHIE/Detroit Free Press
LANSING A judge ordered an April 9 hearing today after a Detroit union leader filed a new lawsuit alleging violations of the Open Meetings Act in the ongoing state review of the citys finances.
The Detroit financial review team is named as a defendant in the suit by Edward McNeil of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 25, which represents city workers. Also named are Gov. Rick Snyder and Treasurer Andy Dillon.
The suit alleges Dillon, a member of the review team, continues negotiating an agreement between the state and the city in private, despite a Feb. 29 ruling by Ingham County Circuit Judge William Collette that the review team is subject to the Open Meetings Act.
Collette, whose earlier ruling barring the review team from striking an agreement with Detroit in light of apparent Open Meetings Act violations was reversed by the Michigan Court of Appeals, is also handling the new lawsuit.
It is clear that Treasurer Dillon is negotiating the consent agreement and/or financial stability agreement with the Detroit mayors office and the City Council, all through private meetings, McNeil alleges in the suit.
The suit alleges the financial review team conducted 44 closed-door meetings with Mayor Dave Bing, City Council members, top city officials and others. But all of those alleged meetings took place prior to Collettes Feb. 29 ruling.
Terry Stanton, a spokesman for Dillon, said the state will respond to the lawsuit at the April 9 hearing.
Its important to note that todays order for a show cause hearing does not preclude the review team from meeting and/or acting on proposed language that might come before it, Stanton said.
April 9, the date for a hearing on whether Collette should issue an injunction against the review team, is past the April 5 deadline for Snyder to say whether Detroit needs an emergency manager.
Still, Snyder Chief of Staff Dennis Muchmore said on Off the Record on public TVs WKAR today that an appeal period makes April 13 the absolute deadline on an emergency manager for Detroit.
Richard Mack of Detroit, McNeil's attorney, said even if a deal is struck, the lawsuit could be a way to undo any agreement.

Los Angeles has long been associated with any number of horrific murder cases: the Manson, Night Stalker and Hillside Strangler most prominent among them. It is a little-known fact, however, that one of the most notorious murders in American history - one that was carried out thousands of miles east of the city - was actually planned in the City of Angels, smack dab in the Center of Hollywood. It was in a room in a small, low-rent hotel on Hollywood Blvd. that assassin James Earl Ray began to formulate his plan to murder civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
[click HERE to view slideshow]
The building, which was known in 1968 (the year of King's murder) as the St. Francis hotel, still stands at 5533 Hollywood Boulevard., just west of Western Avenue. The building has changed very little in appearance in the almost 44 years since prison escapee Ray (using the alias Eric Galt) checked into the motel in November of 1967. It was here in a single room that Ray, while working for the presidential campaign of notorious segregationist George Wallace, first begin to think seriously about killing the Nobel Peace Prize winner.
While staying at the St. Francis, Ray spent his spare time taking dancing lessons, attending and graduating from bartending school, and not long before departing on his murderous mission back east, obtaining a $200 nose job from a local plastic surgeon. Ray also frequented what was then the hotel's bar (The Sultan Room, now a martial arts / yoga studio), and also spent many hours watching the television in his room, on the back of which investigators later found scrawled the words "Martin Luther Coon."
In March 1968, four months after checking in to the St. Francis, Ray set out for Atlanta, the hometown of Dr. King. One month after that, on April 4th, 1968, after tracking King to Memphis, Ray fired the shot that fatally wounded Dr. King on the balcony of the downtown Lorraine Motel. The national anger and riots that followed the shooting almost threatened to kill Dr. King's dream, but within a week order was restored, and the civil rights leader's principals of non-violence emerged victorious.
The St. Francis, re-christened the Gershwin Hotel in 2000, was profiled in a 2005 article in the LA Weekly, although it makes no mention of it's most notorious prior resident. The hotel has recently closed.
Ray, captured at Heathrow Airport in England two months after the assassination of Dr. King, died in prison in 1998.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Matthew Chapman, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Friday, 10 August 2012 01:02PM
The figures show Samsung tablets are trailing way behind Apple's iPad and have sold only 1.43 million units, making the company $644m (£412.8m) in revenue, since going on sale in the fourth quarter of 2010.
The sales figures include the Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE, but do not include the popular Galaxy Note mobile phone-tablet hybrid.
In contrast, Apple has generated revenues of $19bn (29.5 times Samsung's tablet revenue) from selling 34 million iPads since the launch in the third quarter of 2010.
The figures also show that between June 2010 and June 2012, Samsung sold more than 4.1 million copies of its Galaxy SII smartphone, which contributed sales of $1.85bn (£1.18bn).
The increasingly acrimonious court case that began with Apple accusing Samsung of infringing its intellectual property rights by copying the iPhone and iPad, has proved increasingly damaging for the two tech giants.
Samsung has previously refused to disclose sales figures for individual product lines in its financial results.
Meanwhile, evidence given by Apple's head of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller and reported by the Financial Times has given a complex insight into Apple's marketing activities.
The company spent $535m marketing the iPad and iPhone in the US last year, after its budget for the iPad doubled year on year to overtake adspend on the iPhone.
Samsung previously revealed in its second quarter results that it increased global marketing spend 43% year on year from 2.29 trillion won (£1.22bn) to 3.13 trillion won (£1.75bn) in the three months ending 30 June 2012.
Schiller also revealed during the court case how Apple directs marketing spend for new products.
After the unveiling of the first iPhone in January 2007, Apple chose not to spend any money on advertising, but instead relied on the column inches created by Steve Jobs' dramatic unveiling of the device.
Apple then pursued a policy of "buzz marketing" by securing product placement in TV shows and films, before launching a TV, outdoor and press ad campaign that taught people how to use the phone.
Since its launch, advertising spending for the iPhone has grown from $98m (£63m) in 2008 to $226m (£145m) in 2011, according to Schiller.
Schiller has also claimed in the case that Samsung's alleged "copying" is making Apple's job as a marketing team more difficult because it dilutes the way customers see Apple.
The court case is becoming more and more acrimonious as it processes, with Apple and Samsung lawyers accusing each other of unfair ambushes, dirty PR tactics and doctoring evidence, according to Reuters.Follow @mattchapmanuk

Mayweather to take part in WWE's WrestleMania
LOS ANGELES — Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a champion boxer and has tested his moves on "Dancing With the Stars." Now the man many consider the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world is preparing to drop the gloves and do some wrasslin.'
A $20 million payday awaits the undefeated WBC welterweight champion when he takes on Big Show as part of WWE's "WrestleMania XXIV" at Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla., on March 30.
"It's entertainment. You have a chance to just be you and do what you want to do," Mayweather said Monday after a chaotic Staples Center event that masqueraded as a news conference.
The boxer nicknamed "Money" clearly likes the way WWE does business.
"Wrestling takes care of business right on the spot," Mayweather said. "Whatever they say they're going to do, they do it right on the spot. There's no waiting three, four, five months. Quick results, quick money. Quick big money, too."
His manager Leonard Ellerbee and WWE executive Shane McMahon confirmed Mayweather's eight-figure payday for the outdoor match to be shown on live on pay-per-view.
Mayweather incited the couple hundred of already hyped fans at Staples Center by whipping out a thick wad of cash and repeatedly tossing $100, $50 and $20 bills into the crowd.
A mad scramble ensued, with a light pole nearly getting knocked over and two small children caught in the chaos. One lucky man emerged from the pileup clutching six $100 bills.
Mayweather played to the frenzied crowd after appearing from behind a black curtain wearing a New York Yankees jacket and cap. Fans shouted insults and the name of hometown hero Oscar De La Hoya at Mayweather.
"I run Vegas and I run L.A. and I will run the WWE," he boasted.
At 5-foot-8, 150 pounds, Mayweather gives up big numbers to the bald Big Show, who stands 7 feet and weighs 430.
— The Associated Press
"I weigh three times as much as he does," Big Show crowed. "It's not fair, but I'm a businessman and I see an opportunity for business."
Then he picked up the wooden podium and tossed it to the floor, where it splintered and the attached two mics lay like broken sticks. Clearly, Staples Center officials hadn't expected the move.
Mayweather hopped onto a chair and exchanged glares with Big Show while WWE regulars Randy Orton, John Cena, Triple H and Edge looked on, witnessing a newcomer who clearly understands the theatrics of modern-day wrestling.

The American medical system is in tatters, and political arguments often overlook the most fundamental element: human beings' health. Director Peter Nicks knew the problems would be most evident, the drama most poignant, in one place: a low-income, urgent care waiting room. This elegantly crafted documentary has an intimate approach that reveals the myriad systematic failures in a way that is compelling and personal. You can't watch The Waiting Room and still ignore the call for change. Working with The Fledging Fund, the Center for Health Media Policy, and the film's own interactive website, Rooftop Films is pleased to present this event committed to positive health care activism.

I see it's possible to indicate current page/menu item in the side menu. But is it also possible to indicate current menu item in the top menu?
No apologies, this was never worked in to the design of the main navigation.
Hi just rejigging a few things on my site.
In the pagination using the dark style, you can't read the page numbers because they are a similar dark grey to the background (portfolio pages), and in the portfolio popups in the dark theme, you can't read the page numbers or popup title because they are white text on white. This is the same in your demo.
I've tried to change this in the CSS but am struggling
Please provide a link so I can see what you mean and help you fix if its an issue with the theme.
paginations under the photos. I managed to change the white text in the photo popup to black, but that makes the text above the photo thumbs difficult to see now and I can't seem to change it to grey so it is visible on both the dark grey background and the white popup.
For the lightbox popup, try targeting it specifically like this:
.pp_pic_holder { color: #000; }
And try this for the pagination:
#portfolio .wp-pagenavi span.current, #content .wp-pagenavi span.current, #portfolio .wp-pagenavi a, #content .wp-pagenavi a { color: #ffffff; }
Try those anywhere towards the bottom of your CSS so it comes after the all the default theme's styles.
Hi—is this template editable with Expression Web?
Sorry, no idea on that one. I've never used the software.
- awesome template. I have a question re: backgrounds: I've noticed that when I load the alternate patterned backgrounds -and I love the bonus-wood the bg image does not extend for the full length of the page; it fades after about half the length. Same with many of the add'l bg files as well. Is this by design, or…?
Yes, these are the background images that were designed with the theme. I'm sure if you search the Internet you can find other tillable Wood textures that you could then apply through Appearance > Background of your WordPress admin.
Hi this is a very nice theme Good work. I have a question is the demo option toggle bar (colorpicker) with this theme ? is need the selections for projects .. and why does the http://validator.w3.org give me errors " No space between attributes." can`t fixed?

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
HRC's Brian Moulton discusses the impact of IRS policy changes on married same-sex couples.
As a result of the June 26, 2013 declaration by the U.S. Supreme Court that section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional, new bureaucratic and judicial rulings have extended important benefits to same-sex couples. The Pentagon and the Office of Personnel Management acted quickly to rewrite regulations to make certain that same-sex and opposite-sex married couples were treated equally in the armed services and the federal work force. New regulations announced on August 30, 2013 by the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Health and Human Services will insure that married same-sex couples will be able to have the same options that married opposite sex couples have in filing taxes and receiving medicare benefits. In addition, a court ruling has declared unconstitutional a statute that barred the Veterans Administration from extending equal benefits to married gay and lesbian couples.
On July 17, 2013, the Office of Personnel Management, which oversees the benefits offered to federal employees, announced that as a result of the Supreme Court ruling that dismantled DOMA, it is now able to extend benefits to legally married same-sex spouses of Federal employees and annuitants on the same basis as to opposite-sex spouses.
In addition, the OPM announced that the children of same-sex marriages will be treated in the same manner as those of opposite-sex marriages and will be eligible family members according to the same eligibility guidelines.
The OPM announcement emphasized that legally married same-sex couples would be recognized as married regardless of whether their state of residence recognized their marriages. However, the OPM would not recognize domestic partnerships or civil unions.
On August 14, 2013, the Pentagon announced that, in response to the Supreme Court decision that overturned the Defense of Marriage Act, it was moving expeditiously to extend federal benefits to same-sex spouses of military personnel and civilian defense employees. The benefits will be available to all legally married spouses regardless of sexual orientation beginning no later than September 3.
In addition, the Pentagon said that it would grant leave for couples who are not stationed near jurisdictions that recognize same-sex marriage so that they can travel to those jurisdictions to be married.
Moreover, same-sex spouses will be eligible for military health benefits and housing allowances on a retroactive basis if they were legally married before the June 26 Supreme Court decision. Entitlements will begin at the date of marriage for those who wed after the ruling.
In an announcement on August 30, 2013, the Internal Revenue Service said that the federal government will recognize the marriages of same-sex couples even if the couples live in a state that does not recognize same-sex marriage.
The IRS said that it would use a "place of celebration" rule in recognizing same-sex unions. That is, the U.S. government recognizes a marriage if the union was legally recognized in the place where it occurred, where it was "celebrated," even if the married couple lives in a state where gay marriage is prohibited.
Moreover, the IRS ruling is retroactive. Generally, the statute of limitations for filing a refund claim is three years from the date the return was filed or two years from the date the tax was paid, whichever is later. As a result, legally married same-sex couples may file amended claims for tax years 2010, 2011, and 2012.
Also on August 30, the Department of Health and Human Services announced that legally wedded same-sex couples, wherever they live, are eligible for certain Medicare benefits reserved for married couples.
In a memo, the department said, "Today, Medicare is ensuring that all beneficiaries will have equal access to coverage in a nursing home where their spouse lives, regardless of their sexual orientation. Prior to this, a beneficiary in a same-sex marriage enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan did not have equal access to such coverage and, as a result, could have faced time away from his or her spouse or higher costs because of the way that marriage was defined for this purpose."
In a pair of decisions handed down on August 29, 2013, federal district court Judge Consuelo B. Marshall ruled in Cooper-Harris v. USA, a case filed by a lesbian couple denied benefits from the Veterans Administration, that the district court has authority to hear a constitutional challenge to statutes defining marriage as opposite-sex only for purposes of military benefits, and that sections of the statute, Title 38, are unconstitutional under equal protection principles.
Judge Marshall ruled that the statute is unconstitutional even under the lenient "rational basis" standard. She pointed out that "the exclusion of spouses in same-sex marriages from veterans' benefits is not rationally related to the goal of gender equality," which was the purpose of Title 38. She also held that the "denial of benefits" to these spouses is not rationally related to "ensuring that servicemembers perform to their 'maximum potential,'" or other purposes, "including readiness, recruiting, cohesion, and retention" or to the "military's commitment to caring for and providing for veteran families."
While it is unclear whether a district judge can declare a statute unconstitutional nationwide, the ruling should be sufficient to allow the Veterans Administration to extend benefits to same-sex married couples on the same basis as it does to opposite-sex couples.
These rulings, especially the extension of federal benefits regardless of the state of residence, will materially affect married same-sex couples and should contribute to the practice of couples who live in states that prohibit same-sex marriage to travel to the more welcoming states in order to marry.
However, the Social Security Administration uses a place of residence rule rather than the "place of celebration" rule to determine eligibility for spousal benefits. Under this rule, it has denied claims from same-sex couples living in states where their marriages are not recognized.
The ramifications of the IRS ruling is discussed in the clip below.

Tottenham vs West Ham United: half-time report
Filed: Sunday, 20th November 2005
By: Matthew O'Greel
West Ham trail by a single goal at half-time in this afternoon's big London derby.
Mido scored the only goal of the half on 16 minutes with a looping header from the edge of the box after some sloppy defending by the Hammers.
The Hammers went into the game without Nigel Reo-Coker and Roy Carroll, who were replaced by Mark Noble and Shaka Hislop respectively.
Tottenham started the livelier of the two sides and both Edgar Davids and Robbie Keane tested Shaka Hislop inside the opening ten minutes.
West Ham failed to heed the early warnings, and the central defensive pairing of Anton Ferdinand and Danny Gabbidon were caught napping in the 16th minute when they allowed Mido to latch on to a hopeful lob and nod the ball over a stranded Hislop.
The Hammers' best chance of the half fell to Mark Noble who thought he had equalised five minutes before the break after he lifted the ball over Paul Robinson from close range - but he was (correctly) adjudged offside.
Despite being behind, Alan Pardew's side have given a reasonable account of themselves in a lively first-half which saw Teddy Sheringham and Edgar Davis booked after the pair clashed following a sliding tackle by the 39-year-old Hammer.
More to follow at the final whistle.
West Ham United: Hislop; Ferdinand, Gabbidon, Repka, Konchesky; Mullins, Benayoun, Etherington, Noble; Harewood, Sheringham.
Tottenham: Robinson; King, Stalteri, Lee, Dawson; Davids, Jenas, Carrick, Tainio; Keane, Mido.

During World War I, it was believed that vascular collapse in injured patients was caused by toxins (MacLean, 1985). Experiments in the 1930s showed that fluid was lost from the circulation into damaged tissues. In World War II, plasma became the resuscitation fluid of choice. Subsequent experimental work indicated that extracellular fluids shifted into the intracellular space after significant hemorrhage with shock (Canizaro, 1973). The provision of resuscitation fluid in a volume in excess of the volume of blood that had been shed then became an acceptable practice for the maintenance of adequate circulation.
During World War II, acute tubular necrosis was a common consequence of hypovolemic shock. Because fluid resuscitation became more prevalent during the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, the incidence of acute tubular necrosis dramatically decreased. Although acute tubular necrosis after hypovolemic shock became less of a problem with better fluid resuscitation, the shock lung syndrome (i.e., adult respiratory distress syndrome) became increasingly common. The lung injury in adult respiratory distress syndrome is a function of the shock state rather than the resuscitation solution used.
The goal of resuscitation from shock is prompt restoration of adequate per-fusion and transport of oxygen. Restoration of circulation allows the cell to clear the products of anaerobic metabolism and restore aerobic metabolism. The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma developed a classification of shock that permits useful guidelines for resuscitation (1997). Crystalloid is infused at a 3:1 ratio for every unit of red blood cells administered, and therapy is monitored by hemodynamic response. Because crystalloid solutions are universally available and some delay is required for the preparation of blood products, crystalloid is the proper initial resuscitation fluid. Resuscitation then proceeds with the use of blood products, depending on the patient's response. The choice of a colloid solution (e.g., albumin or plasma) or a crystalloid solution (e.g., lactated Ringer's solution) has been controversial. Both can expand the extracellular space and provide effective resuscitation. However, crystalloid solutions are favored because they are less expensive, need not be cross-matched with the patient, do not transmit disease, and probably create less fluid accumulation in the lungs. No experimental data indicate that colloid solutions are less apt to prevent pulmonary edema than are crystalloid solutions. Some work (Holcroft and Trunkey, 1975; Lewis et al., 1979), based on measurements of pulmonary extravascular water volume or lung water measurements, indicates that albumin, if used as a resuscitation fluid, moves across the cell membrane and draws in extracellular fluid by osmosis, thereby exacerbating the pulmonary edema.
Several crystalloid solutions are available for resuscitation, but isotonic solutions should be used to avoid overload of free water. Lactated Ringer's solution has been recommended as initial therapy. Metabolic alkalosis is common after successful resuscitation with lactated Ringer's solution and blood products, because the lactate in Ringer's solution and the citrate in banked blood are both

Going Beyond async and await On WinRT
One of the goals of the new Windows Runtime (WinRT) is to enable better support for developers to utilize asynchronous programming. Asynchronous operations allow a program to maintain responsiveness even while other operations (such as file I/O or network communication) have yet to complete. This responsiveness is helpful to most user applications, including touch-based interfaces where the user expects immediate feedback to their gestures.
To that end, the "await/async" keywords are used by C# and Visual Basic programmers to enable the use of asynchronous operations without suffering extended complications to their program's control flow. Programs following the async API call can rely on the compiler to automatically switch the context to its original state when the call was made. Microsoft's Stephen Toub has recently explored how this process works in greater detail.
The compiler internally rewrites a method marked by async to use a state machine for its implementation. When a programmer marks a statement with the "await" keyword, the compiler is able to inserts markers that allows it to know where it can suspend and resume the method's execution without blocking.
As Toub observes:
When you await an asynchronous operation that's not yet completed, the compiler's generated code ensures that all of the state associated with the method (e.g. local variables) is packaged up and preserved on the heap. Then the function returns to the caller, allowing the thread on which it was running to do other work. When the awaited asynchronous operation later completes, the method's execution resumes using the preserved state.
Toub goes on to discuss situations where the programmer may seek greater control that what is provided by "await". In this case, the "AsTask" method may be needed to provide support for progress reporting, or to support multiple continuations.

35 year old man | Boca Raton, FL, USA | Seeking women 22-32 within 50 miles
At least I will try It!
I'm a nice man who would like to make friends in a new country, facing new challenges such as learning a second language and trying to achieve my goals. I have been living in USA for two years, but I came many times since I was a child to visit friends and family. Now I'm trying to improve my English in order to increase my social network. I am a positive guy who tries to live every day to the fullest. The people close to me think I am a good friend. I make friends very easily, on the other hand, when it comes to meeting a girl I can be a little shy. I love to step out of the routine, take my car and go on a trip without double thoughts. I have traveled to different states and some countries in South America. My future trip: Europe. I plan to take a month off without any arranged plans. I just want to go to Europe and visit as much places as I can. I am a social drinker. I am not the best cook, but I do like to make drinks, especially Peruvian drinks such as Chilcano or Pisco Sour. I like sports and love to take challenges. Maybe I can't run two miles in a marathon, but if I was in a soccer field maybe I would run ten. I had the privilege of studying in the best university in my country, and I feel very proud about it. Now, I am planning on starting my Masters here in Florida. I enjoy conversations. I can say I am a communication professional in Spanish, but in English ... I have to improve so much! Many times, when I am having a conversation with an English speaker I say to myself: If I spoke English like I speak Spanish... Anyways, I am very patient and I am hoping to find a girl who is wiling to understand my broken English. I will have to improve it anyway. About my perfect match, I don't know how is she going to be. I know that building a relationship is something that you work on day by day. It's worth taking the risk; you could always end up building a nice friendship.

Dan Haren took exception to a Chicago Sun-Times report that medical issues led to the Cubs pulling out of a trade that would have sent closer Carlos Marmol to the Angels for Haren last Friday. The Angels subsequently declined Harens 15.5-million option for 2013, buying it out for 3.5 million, and the veteran right-hander who went 12-13 with a 4.33 earned-run average last season is now a free agent. Its definitely a little frustrating to hear, being as Ive started all but three games over a nine-year career, Haren said in an email. I havent heard why exactly they pulled out, but I finished the year healthy and did pretty well down the stretch. Haren, 32, was slowed by lower-back tightness in the first half, compiling a 6-8 record with a 4.86 ERA in 17 starts before going on the disabled list for the first time in his career in early July. But he returned in late July and, despite his fastball dipping to the 89-mph range, Haren went 6-5 with a 3.58 ERA in his final 13 starts. It w...

As our elected officials continue to debate how to improve our health-care system, this is the time to address some of the disparities that women face in health care today.
Women currently pay 68 percent more out-of-pocket costs than men largely because of reproductive health care needs. In 2007, 25 percent of women reported delaying or skipping health care because of cost.
And one out of five women of child-bearing age is uninsured. Women's reproductive health care needs -- including things like birth control, annual exams and breast cancer screening -- should be included as basic health care in health care reform and should be accessible to all women.
These health needs are not expendable or non-essential. They should not be included as an afterthought nor should they be the subject of political debate.
Reproductive health care is simply basic health care for women. Women must be better off after health care reform than they are today.

A movie
In a candle-lit Victorian brothel, Oscar Wilde sips champagne as pretty prostitutes enact his latest play, "Salome." As Salome performs her Dance of the Seven Veils in exchange for the ruin of John the Baptist, life begins to imitate art and … see full wiki
Twenty years ago Ken Russell's Salome's Last Dance was released and I and my libertine friends saw it as a first run. From time to time I watch a movie I haven't seen in twenty years and draw what conclusions are impossible to ignore. I found A Room with a View to be more boring than not and way more pretentious than I did at the time. Salome is better than I remember it, but a decade of literary crucibles and just getting older brought a different eye.
The film is set in 1892, in a brothel that Oscar Wilde frequents. His play Salome was recently banned (or refused a license by the Lord Chamberlain to be a bit more exact). Salome is a very sexual play with potentially heretical themes depending on the sensitivity you have to extra-textual stories about biblical players, so it isn't difficult to understand why it might offend the stiff sensibilities of its day.
The brothel owner, Alfred Taylor, invites the playwright to sit back and watch a staging of his own banned play.
The play begins with John the Baptist captured and imprisoned by Herod. From below stage John screams somewhat veiled invectives at Herod's wife Herodias. This mysterious screaming grabs Salome's attentions (she is Herodias daughter). She has him brought to her and tries to seduce him. She fails.
Salome isn't accustomed to failing at seduction—she's a teenage Helen of Troy who knows how to use her hips aggressively. The play is only about ten minutes old before a paramour kills himself after being spurned, for instance. After some fairly long speechifying, she is given a unique opportunity. Her stepfather, Herod, wants her to dance. Her mother forbids it, but Salome is no more willing to listen to her mother than she is to John's refusal to succumb to her wiles. So she consents to dance, but only if Herod will deliver her the head of John the Baptist so she can kiss it. So there is a dance then there is a head. Exeunt.
I had read the play a couple of years before the movie and couldn't fathom why anyone could stage it at all. It is an almost incomprehensible series of nested similes driven around color—the play's scenery and lighting are set to change and highlight colors throughout to make sure you understand just how prevalent color is. The speeches are long and repetitive. But since the movie was overtly sexual in pretty much every way, it was going to be well worth the $6 if for no other reason than eye candy.
The film is actually quite good. The members of the cast are male and female prostitutes belonging to the brothel and a few select clients. Their performances and costumes and body paint and makeup are all over the top which is the only way performing Salome would work.
Nearly to a person, everyone in the cast is believable in their role, including the half naked women who say nothing at all. Imogen Millais-Scott's Salome is operatic. Her eyes are expressive enough to reach the cheap-seats with ease. She also has the longest speeches to get through. Here I can only say that she does her best, the fault is Mr. Russell's for having these speeches last so long. Glenda Jackson plays her mother, Herodias. The role is a departure from her usual with it being so sarcastic and easily comedic, but it works. Stratford Johns plays Herod and has the same challenges as Ms. Millias-Scott. Herod's speeches are only a few lines shorter than Salome's but he may be a bit better at not succumbing to the bogged down imagery: "white like this and red like that and vermillion like this" color variable plus like plus noun variable formula that makes reading it such a chore.
The general casting is dead on for both the play and the setting. The mostly naked women are attractive and the boys are pretty and mostly lithe (or girly if you prefer—men seeking male companionship in the brothels sought the fey). But since their primary job is as a paid trick not an actor/actress it fits exactly as it should.
The one major failing is Nickolas Grace as Oscar Wilde. He is dreadful. Oscar Wilde, apart from being one of the best comic writers of his day, was a gifted speaker. Mr. Grace's delivery is incredibly slow and lacks anything approaching a sense of ease let alone humor. Given the deep quality everyone else brought, this is one of the situations that make you wonder if Mr. Russell lost a bet and had to cast Grace. C'Mon, this is Oscar Wilde for crying out loud; imagine casting Wilford Brimley as Mark Twain if you need reasonable comparison.
Ken Russell had (not so much now though) a reputation for being edgy and not afraid to take on sexual mores that might make a contemporary audience uneasy (Tommy--the rock opera—as an example of the first sort, Women in Love as an example for the second). Salome has just the right elements of both to be fun. In other words, the sexuality is titillating without being icky or morose and it lacks the absurdity of Ann-Margaret rolling around in a pit of chocolate and baked beans.
It's a strange flick, so you do need to be in a mood to work with the movie a bit before you settle into it. It is well worth that energy.

Re: Lion - Memory Usage Problems in response to fiddler64
Rather than rebooting, use can use the "purge" command from the terminal command line.
I've gotten into the habbit of regulary cleanning out memory that's become lost due to memory leaks.
kyle321 Dec 17, 2012 5:49 AM
Re: Lion - Memory Usage Problems in response to fiddler64
Folks, I've been asked to be a bit more specific regarding this issue...
I can't speak for everyone suffering from this issue but maybe there's something in here that can help you, of course this information based upon my opinion (For whatever that's worth),
There have been several Java releases recently that are buggy and have some big vulnerabilities, specifically with some recent Java base code and SDK's. All software sub-branches are therefore affected, including JRE, JSE, Java plugins (Javascript) and dependant frameworks. I've included a link in an earlier post that's a good starting point for those who are interested in more info on this subject. Lion was initially packaged with one of the affected Java releases.
The main symptom of a system getting hammered with a Java issue is a runaway sub-process of a program that uses Java functions. Safari, Firefox, mail, etc.. This results in the sub-process "maxing" out both the memory and CPU utilization. You can kill the sub-process to stop the runaway train but the problem will reoccur once you try to browse again. Also the runaway process will occur when browsing "Healthy sites" as well as broken sites. So it's not necessarily related to poor site programming.
Another suggestion is to be sure that you are using the latest update for Java, On lion this would be 1.6.0_37 or later. You can check your java version by using the "java -version" from the command line.
see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4883
Of course it goes without saying that you should absolutely have the latest software update.
I'm not aware if this problem affecting Mountain Lion... Holler at me if anyone using 10.8 seems to have this problem.
Another issue with Lion is that many app's seem to lose track of memory (Blue pie). This doesn't seem to be a kernel issue but maybe there's a bad Lib out here somewhere that's causing the memory problem. I just use the "purge" command often and this helps me deal with that issue.
Hope this can be of help to someone.

Re: Lion - Memory Usage Problems in response to kyle321
The comments on the CPU came around because JeepRuby had a Safari that was pegging one of his CPUs. So when that happens it can often appear like you are quitting Safari but you're really not.
There are several possible explanations for this, but the only thing I am sure of is kyle321 explanations are wrong. It seems petty to say, but his recent long message is full of a lot of misinformation and I feel bad. If I knew there were a way to contact individuals on this site, which apparently some people have done with him, I would have tried to hash this out with him privately in case there's something new for me to learn.
For example, purge is a way to free up RAM that is holding freeable file system cache according to the man page (and my experience):
purge -- force disk cache to be purged (flushed and emptied)
Therefore, if your app is consuming a lot of memory, as was the case with JeepRuby's Safari, purge will have no effect. It will free up disk cache memory but not any memory from an individual process.
Second, there is no relation between Java and JavaScript. JavaScript, in Safari, is implemented in Objective-C and there is no Java interpreter involved, period. I just looked at the source code of the project to be super-doubley sure. And the Mail program also does not run a Java interpreter. It displays html email messages, which means it runs the same HTML rendering engine as Safari, but I am pretty it does not allow JavaScript to be run because that is just asking for trouble, e.g., every SPAM email could continue running JS code, wreaking havoc effortlessly.
The exploit mentioned in one of kyle321's comments means that the perpetrator can run native, arbitrary code on your computer, according to the web page that he sent out. That means it can take over your computer and do anything, and typically what they choose to do is NOT enter an infinite loop in your browser. Typically it will download some files, start a server, and wait for instructions.
Meanwhile, one of Apple's updates in mid 2012 disabled the Java plugin in all browsers, because of the axploits mentioned in kyle's links, so unless you explicitely turned Java plugin back on, it's not even an issue:
"I know nothing, Jon Snow" but I am pretty sure of the facts of this message. If kyle knows how to contact individuals, please send me a message so I can learn the error of my ways. I don't mind being wrong. I just can't stand it when people are having trouble with their computers.
kyle321 Dec 17, 2012 7:48 AM
Re: Lion - Memory Usage Problems in response to fiddler64
Jonathan, as I've said before, I'm not trying to be argumentative here and wasting time on dueling credentials, is just not something I wish to do. I'm sorry that I've ruffled your feathers, that's not something I wished to happen.
My feelings are that any guidance to the readers could in someway be helpful and believe that's the spirit of blogs such as this. The only reason I posted in is because I thought this problem was solved long ago and this blog was obsolete, I just noticed quite a bit of recent activity on this blog and thought I might jump in.
I feel that I've provided some real direction regarding this issue, there's plenty of information out there regarding this problem. All you need to do is look for it.
As far as off-line contact goes, you can't contact folks directly unless you know them personally.
I know from personal experience how frustrating this issue can be. I hope my posts can be of help to someone, that's all. - Good luck
Cheers Mate!

Re: Lion - Memory Usage Problems in response to mightymilk
I thought it was just me.. I hate the memory management here, I upgraded my RAM from 4 to 8 to 16 but freaking inactive memory situation still remain. at one time i had 12 GB in inactive memory,If i launched something at that point, it's extrememe pain to use it.. running purge command is not a solution.. freeing up that memory is... I wish i could upgraded to 32GB & test it but i think the problem would still be there....

Re: Lion - Memory Usage Problems in response to bellicose100xp
I solved my problem with the installation of an SSD on my 2007 MacBook (Lion). I'm sitting here with just 19MB of free memory, but my MacBook running like I just rebooted it, no slowdowns or spinning beach balls. Free ram doesn't seem to matter with the SSD installed.
bobbd Dec 28, 2012 6:57 AM
Re: Lion - Memory Usage Problems in response to Bobdc6
Moving things in and out of memory becomes fast enough with an SSD that free memory doesn't seem to matter in practical terms.
We're bumping up against the way Mac OS X handles memory allocation. It seems to have gotten worse with Lion and Mountain Lion.
In my case, once I got rid of some run away processes, things are fairly stable. Free memory still gets used up. I'm currently stting with 90mb of free memory and 3.9GB of inactive memory. However everything runs fine until I launch another app or do something with an inactive app where free memory is needed. At that point I may see spinning beach balls. I've also see the spinnning solver disc. If things get too slow, I use FreeMemory Pro and free the inactive memory. I rarely need to do that more than once every few days. And I reboot from time to time just to clean everything up.
But all in all, it's infinitely better than Windows XP was.
As always, I may not know what I'm talking about and your mileage may vary.
Bobdc6 Dec 29, 2012 8:08 AM
Re: Lion - Memory Usage Problems in response to bobbd
I've noticed a little lag in loading apps with 19mb of free ram and several apps already open, but once open, they operate normally. Also, I noticed the beachball at times when scrolling, so I have decided to max out my ram from 1GB to 4 GB. There is no reason for me to do this other than wanting to NEVER see the beachball, and it's kind of a challange to see how long my 2007 MacBook can operate in the ever changing enviorment of bigger memory eating apps. I'm really happy with my new SSD, it's like having a new laptop.
Bobdc6 Dec 29, 2012 12:55 PM
Re: Lion - Memory Usage Problems in response to Bobdc6
I had to reboot after three days of operation as free ram approached 12mb. Hesitation approached several seconds after clicking or opening an app. I was curious if I needed ANY free ram with a SSD, well, I do, but with free ram above 20mb, my MacBook seems to work ok, which is spectacular since with my HDD, free ram needed to be 1GB or more for relalible operation. I'm learning a lot here.

Re: Lion - Memory Usage Problems in response to kyle321
Hi, Kyle. FYI, although they share some similarity in name, Java and javascript are two distinct languages. Java is an interpreted language that uses a virtual (software) machine called the JVM to translate Java into code that is understandable by the machine on which it is running.
Microsoft's version of the language is a bit different, and they call it Jscript.
Hope this helps to clarify the situation a bit.

Re: Lion - Memory Usage Problems in response to bellicose100xp
I have never owned a computer, PC or Apple, that I didn't have to restart every few days (even Snow Leopard), but for some reason, the Lion/Safari pairing seems to be worse. Moore's Law will catch up soon, I hope.

Re: Lion - Memory Usage Problems in response to Bobdc6
I have a question for you guys.
How many of you see this problem after waking up from sleep?
I have noticed that everytime I wake up my machine from over night sleep swap increases. If I reboot and work on it using the same software and usage pattern and do not put my machine to sleep it never swaps. Also Mission Control slows down when swap increases. I worked with apple Eng Team to resolve this. I was told that this case will be fixed in next point release. No ETA was provided.
So my question is. How many of you see this problem when your machine goes to sleep?
Can you disable sleep for some time and report here if this has changed? I mean deep sleep (lid closed on my MBP).

That allows time machine backups to continue while sleeping, along with things like fetching email, updating calendars, etc. It's kinda nice because I do see my email already downloaded when I turn on my computer in the morning. But those time machine backups are probably not all that important to me.
However, Time Machine backups are related to this problem, as far as I can tell, because crawling the file system to perform a backup often touches a lot of files, and those files are loaded into the file cache and become 'Inactive memory'. (I realize time machine doesn't crawl the entire file system in the normal course of events, although when it is deleting an old backup, I do wonder what happens then.) I feel that the change from Snow Leopard (flawless in a lot of ways) to Lion was that the file cache was taking precedence over application memory. Seemed like a very bad change to me, unless you have an SSD, in which case it appears not to matter (and that makes sense to be honest).
Anyway - maybe you could turn off Power Nap mode and see if that helps with the over-night situation.
Also - do not forget to quit Safari from time to time. It leaks memory and struggles to give it back to the OS, even if you close all the windows. And remember that closing all the windows is not the same as quitting an application: the former closes the windows, the latter quits the app and returns ALL the apps memory to the system for other apps to use.
