text: Money MoneyScience Alexander Besant on Nov 30, 2012 @ 7:37 PMNov 30, 2012 @ 7:37 PM Published1000-year-old Muslim joke book from ancient Baghdad foundA 1000-year-old book of revelry and jokes stemming from ancient Baghdad was recently translated.A new translation of a book from 11th century Baghdad revealed a lighter side of the glorious Muslim capital.The book by Al-Khatib al-Baghdadi was translated by University of Manchester scholar Emily Selove who said that the book offers readers something more lighthearted, said Zee News.Far from an intolerant bastion of fundamentalists, the translator of the ancient text said that "This book, which contains flirtation, profanity, and even a little drunkenness, is a lot of fun and offers a rather different perspective to the austere image Islam has from that period," Emily Selove told Discovery News."The reality is that the Baghdad of 1,000 years ago was actually rather Bohemian -- it wasn't perfect by any means -- but not the violent and repressive society you might imagine it was."In one passage, the writer discusses the best way to crash a party.Discovery News said the passages says: "Once a party-crasher walked in the house of a man who had invited a gathering of people. "Hey, you!" the man said. "Did I say you could come?" "Did you say I couldn't come?" the party crasher replied. A party-crasher walked into a gathering, and they said to him, "Nobody invited you!" "But if you didn't invite me and I didn't come," he replied, "think how lonely that would be!" Everybody laughed at that, and they let him stay."Anyone who might want to crash a party take note.The book's title, "The Art of Party Crashing," is published by Syracuse University Press.

6-year-old boy killed by NYC bus
The boy was pronounced dead at the scene
Associated Press
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — A transit bus hit a pedestrian and then slammed into a suburban New York City house, killing a 6-year-old boy who was inside the home. Eleven people on the bus suffered minor injuries.
Police say the Nassau Inter County Express bus plowed into the multi-family home in Hempstead, on Long Island around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. Six-year-old David Granados was pronounced dead at a hospital, and police say his 7-year-old brother suffered minor injuries.
There were about 20 people on the bus.

Tamworth vs Lincoln City: Kerry wins it early
Posted: September 23, 2012|
Lloyd Kerry scored in the opening minute of the game as Tamworth beat Lincoln 1-0.
With less than a minute played, Kerry gave the home side the lead when he latched onto Shaun Jeffers' pass to tap home from close range.
Both teams were reduced to 10 men when Tamworth's Richard Tait and Lincoln's Gary Mills were given straight red cards for violent conduct in the 27th minute.
Lincoln struggled to break down the Lambs' defence in the first half and never looked like troubling Tony Breedon in the Tamworth goal.

Shell and Churchill Club
Shell established an alliance with Churchill Club, an independent, non-profit business and technology forum located in Silicon Valley, California, USA, in 2011. The club organises regular programmes that allow CEOs, thought leaders, business executives, innovators, and senior politicians from around the world to discuss the latest global developments. The organisation aims to help drive innovation and economic growth to benefit society. Our relationship allows us to contribute as a thought leader in energy and innovation.
Peter Schwartz and Mandar Apte on stage in 2013
Shell took to the stage at the September 2013 Churchill Club annual conference, "Changing the Game: Power," as innovation champion sponsor and in dialogue about power – from personal, to organisational, to geopolitical.
Shell GameChanger Mandar Apte discussed inner power with Peter Schwartz, SVP of Global Government Relations of Salesforce.com. He spoke about how to develop inner capacity and competencies to be more effective in innovation environments.
Shell also displayed the Ferrari F1 show car to demonstrate the power of partnerships – in this case, one of the most successful and forward-looking technical partnerships in contemporary motorsport. Together, Shell and Scuderia Ferrari have amassed 12 Drivers' Championships and 10 Constructors' Championships.
Conference attendees also heard from other visionaries who are changing the world, interacted with organisations that are shaping the future, contributed their own ideas, and participated in power-training workshops.
This was the fifth Shell and Churchill Club event.

The month of May is National Foster Care Awareness and Appreciation Month, and the Scioto County Children Services said they are urgently seeking more foster parents in the community.
In 1853, the Children's Aid Society was founded in response to the problem of orphaned or abandoned children living in New York. Rather than allow these children to become institutionalized or continue to live on the streets, the children were placed in the first "foster" homes. According to Children Services, there were nearly 500 substantiated cases of child neglect or abuse in Scioto County in 2012, and that number has increased significantly from the year before.
"With the increase of children in custody, we have a big need for foster parents in our community; people that would be willing to take children in and willing to work with the families and work toward reunification with the family," said Children Services Supervisor Lisa Thomas.
The office reports there are more than 400,000 American youth in foster care, and an estimated 12 million foster care alumni in the U.S. representing all walks of life. The month of May each year is reserved as National Foster Care Awareness and Appreciation Month. In recognition of this month-long event, Scioto County Children Services will be hosting a banquet on May 23 in appreciation of their foster parents.
"Words cannot express the gratitude that we have for their continued loyalty and service to our children. Their acceptance and dedication is amazing. We feel truly privileged to work with such a remarkable group of people," said Lindsay Hall, a caseworker at Scioto County Children Services.
For more information about the event on April 24, how to become a foster parent, or how to report a case of possible abuse or neglect, contact the Scioto County Children Services at 740-456-4164. They are also available online at sciotocsb.com or on Facebook.

From the 2009 Grammy-winning Album of the Year, Raising Sand, by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, this upbeat rockabilly classic by Don and Phil Everly gets a fabulous a cappella remake!
The debut single from 2009 by Mumford & Sons, from their debut album Sigh No More, packs a folk-rock punch in this arrangement for unaccompanied male voices.
This song by Mark James, also known as Francis Zambon, was recorded by Elvis Presley in the 1960s. Deke Sharon has skillfully arranged it for the Contemporary A Cappella series.
"Tempted by the fruit of another, tempted but the truth is discovered..." Chris Difford's tune enters the world of choral singing with this fine setting for a cappella men's voices with solo lead.

Cast: Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, Jason Sudeikis, Dylan McDermott, Katherine LaNasa, John Lithgow, Dan Aykroyd
Running Time: 85 Minutes
Rating: R for crude sexual content, language, and brief nudity
Long-term congressman Cam Brady (Will Ferrell) is running for office unopposed again and is guaranteed to win without much effort. But he makes a big public mistake that hurts his campaign.
When this happens, the wealthy, powerful Motch brothers (played by John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd) decide to fund an opponent to win the votes of the North Carolina district, while scheming to "insource" sweatshops in order to triple their wealth.
The Motch brothers choose Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis), who is the most unlikely candidate. Huggins is a simple-minded man who loves his wife, his pugs, and never had much of a competitive bone in his body. He is content with his day-to-day life and doesn't crave much more, except just the affection and approval of his father.
Huggins is a pawn in the Motch brothers' plot, someone they can easily manipulate into whomever they want him to be.
Faced with an opponent for the first time after many consecutive terms in office, Cam Brady finds himself growing more and more competitive, and the political campaign turns into a mud-slinging war.
Ferrell and Galifianakis are two comedic powerhouses so natural together onscreen that they become one gigantic cluster of hysterical banter and fun. Their political debates are the golden moments that really give the film its backbone.
While loaded with "Saturday Night Live"-like humor and topnotch actors, "The Campaign" runs out of jokes by the halfway mark and starts to look for an escape route.
Supporting actors Sarah Baker (who plays Huggins's loving wife) and Jason Sudeikis are easily overlooked, as they aren't used to their full potential. Sudeikis plays Cam's buddy campaign manager, Mitch, who gets shoved aside and abused despite his continuous efforts to help Cam's campaign.
Karen Maruyama is a scene-stealer, playing a sassy housekeeper for Huggins's father.
Experienced comedy director Jay Roach ("Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery," "Meet the Fockers") provides a great satirical commentary on our current political state, yet it quickly fizzles to a screeching halt with an underwhelming conclusion.
"The Campaign" may be fun to watch given Ferrell and Galifianakis' comedic A-game, but it ultimately falls a bit flatter than expected.

Decent, Not Great
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These suffer from the same problem as most compression socks, and that's that they're sized for feet rather than calves. As someone with big feet (size 12 US/46 euro) and skinny little calves (14.5" diameter), that's usually problematic for me because I need large socks for my feet with provide pretty much zero compression for my calves.
I got around that with these by sizing way down, going with Medium. They actually fit my feet just fine (leading me to think their sizing chart is irrelevant) and provide a moderate amount of compression for my calves. They're not as good as my compression calf sleeves, but they're much better than other compression socks (Zoot and DeFeet) that I have.
They're stretchier than other compression socks, meaning they're easier to get on and off, but they still have managed to keep their compression and not stretch out after 6 months of hard use. Considering I got them for $10 on Chainlove, that's not bad at all (and I bought three more pair I have waiting for when these die).
So bottom line, size way down if you have skinny calves, and these are worth it if you can catch them on sale. Otherwise, it's better to go with either calf sleeves or one of the other compression socks out there that independently sizes calf and feet (or at least has a size chart for calf).

Godmother of Punk Patti Smith Talks New Album, Book and Burroughs: "I wanted to come to St. Louis because I just wanted to say hello to William."
The fact that you work at these expressive extremes brings to mind Dan Graham's seminal video piece, "Rock My Religion," in which you're prominently featured. It's an amazing piece and, I think, so true in how it defines rock & roll as a kind of populist spirituality. Your work -- in all forms -- really embodies this.
There always has to be a way -- for the generation before me, my generation and generations to come -- to find a place for unity, creativity, and revolutionary energy that is basically positive and can incorporate everything. I found that in rock & roll, especially when I was younger. It was the perfect medium to spread thoughts I had about God, religion, love and sexuality and reach many people. Again, that's why I'm so amazed at how well Just Kids has done. I never imagined I'd be able to reach as many or more people with a book -- it's a beautiful thing. For me the numbers I really look at are how many people have accessed what I've made. There's artistic success, which only the artist truly knows, and there's success in communication. Success in communication -- whether it's through Guernica or a Rihanna song -- is something that reaches out and touches a lot of people. I also understand that certain work may linger in the limbo of obscurity for a while, but I'm ultimately always striving to reach as many people as possible. You have to be ready for both.
People are really always very suspicious of those who pursue multiple disciplines. They wonder how someone who makes rock & roll music can be a serious writer, or how a serious artist could get a real grasp on what it takes to make a rock & roll song. People constantly question whether that's valid or dilettantish.
Well, you nailed it: It takes a lot of work. That might explain why it's not often done well.
And in the center of all of that, I'm a mother. A widowed mother. I have a very intense parental responsibility. Even though my children are grown, I am their parent, I have to represent both father and mother to them. It's a wide range of responsibilities. I try to stay healthy and positive. Staying positive is key.

India is a magical place – full of beauty, with its share of the less than beautiful and with countless contradictions in between. The English novelist E. M. Forster once wrote: ". . . Nothing in India is identifiable, the mere asking of a question causes it to disappear or to merge in something else." In a certain sense, that assertion seems on the verge of change for both India and single-branded retailers worldwide who want to do business on the subcontinent.
The market certainly has allure. In December, The Economist commented, "The country boasts more than one billion inhabitants and an economy that is growing healthily. Its retail market is forecast to nearly double to $850 billion by 2020."
As reported in the January 10 edition of Forbes, the Indian government has now decided to permit "'single-brand' retailers . . . to own 100% of their Indian arms. The new policy marks the country's first step in opening up its retail sector that still remains closed to supermarket chains (or multi-brand retailers). Until now, single brand retailers could only own up to a 51% stake . . . The new rule [is] aimed at attracting the likes of Ikea and Gap who have yet to open their first Indian store."
There are of course stipulations. "Foreign retailers that want to invest beyond the previous cap of 51 percent ownership will need to source 30 percent of their goods from small and village industries," says a Reuters-sourced report in The Guardian. India's current government has been foiled in "attempts to free up the retail sector" despite "fierce political opposition and protests by small retailers."
"In December, the government suspended plans to open India's $450 billion supermarket sector to foreign firms, backtracking . . . within two weeks of the policy being announced," according to The Guardian. This kind of policy ebb-and-flow in India has not been uncommon. It is often hard to distinguish what has happened in fact from what will ultimately take place.
Certain trends are bound to materialize in time. A McKinsey analysis from 2007 adds helpful perspective. "Over the next two decades, the country's middle class will grow from about 5 percent of the population to more than 40 percent and create the world's fifth-largest consumer market."
Roger Sen Gupta, whose business includes forging contacts for Western businesses in India, has told me that "Retailing in India is one of the pillars of its economy and accounts for about 15% of its GDP." He also believes this is the time for Western single-brand retailers to weigh an Indian market entry.
Without a doubt, the opportunity to enter such markets as India is enticing. But the brand management challenges accompanying this sort of entry can be formidable as well. Retailing in India today is not at all what we know retailing to be in the West. My next blog is dedicated to anticipating what those challenges encompass, especially for the brand manager in single-brand retailing.

Perpetual Calendar1
By Mr. Servois, professor of the artillery schools*
[84]2 The calendar, whose uses I shall explain, may be used to solve this general question, which includes four particulars: Of [85] these four things: if any of these three are given: a year of the common era, the name of a month of that year, a day of the month, and the name of the day of the week which corresponds to this day, then what is the fourth?
I shall provide some examples, which are always much more clear than explanations, and will demonstrate the advantages that can be drawn from this little calendar (See the plate [Figure 9]).
PROBLEM I. Determine which day of the week corresponds to a certain day of a designated month of a given year?
Example. We wish to know, which day of the week corresponds to January 28, 1821?
In the table, look for the column that includes the number 21 with which the year terminates; you will find that this is the first on the left. In the same column look for the word January, which you will find at the top, followed by October. Then, move horizontally along the first line until you find yourself vertically above the last of the medallions at the bottom, which contains only the date given 28. You will find the word Sunday on the circle at which you will stop, and will tell you that January 28, 1821 will be a Sunday.
Figure 9. Servois' perpetual calendar appeared on page 92 of the Annales.
Remark. If the year is a leap year, that is to say, if the number formed by its last two digits on the right is a multiple of 4, then during the first two months, January and February, we must make use of the column that immediately precedes, on the left, the column that contains the indication, and use the last one if this column is the first one. This is a general remark.
Thus, for example, if we wanted to find the day of the week that corresponds to January 28, 1824, then because 24, which belongs in the 5th column, is a multiple of 4, and because January is one of the first two months, we must make use of the 4th column. There we find January followed by October in the fourth circle down. Then moving horizontally to the right until the last [86] column, below which the day 28 is found, the word Wednesday that we find in the circle upon which we stopped, tells us that January 28, 1824 must be a Wednesday.
PROBLEM II. To determine which days of a designated month, in a given year, correspond to a certain day of the week?
Example. We wish to know, what are the days in February which will be Sundays in the year 1836?
Because 36 is in the 6th column and is a multiple of 4, and because February is one of the first two months, I am using the 5th column. I look there for the word February that is at the top, followed by March and November, and I move horizontally until the word Sunday, which belongs to the last column. Otherwise, I look for the word Sunday in the 5th column, and I again move horizontally until I meet the word February. I fall once again on the last column and I read at the bottom that the Sundays in February 1836 will be 7, 14, and 21.
PROBLEM III. To determine which are the months of a designated year, in which a certain day of the week corresponds to a certain date?
Example. We wish to know, what are the months of the year 1825 that will begin on a Monday?
25 is found to belong to the 6th column in which I look for the word Monday. I move horizontally to the left, starting from this word, until I meet the first column, under which I find the day numbered 1, and I read in this circle that there is but the single month of August in the year 1825 that should begin on Monday.
If it were a matter of the year 1828, which is a leap your, we will first find the word Monday in the 2nd column, which immediately precedes the one that includes the number 28. Then moving to the left horizontally until the first column, below which lies the day numbered 1, we first find the months of April and July, which we reject, because they fall beyond the first two, and we had used the column that precedes the year. Then taking [87] the word Monday in the third column and moving horizontally to the first one, we meet the months of September and December, both of which we admit, because they fall after the first two, which are consequently the only ones of the year 1828 which begin on a Monday.
PROBLEM IV. To determine which are the years in which a certain day of the week coincides with a given date of a designated month?
Example. We wish to know in which years April 1st will be a Sunday?
The number 1 is found at the bottom of the first column and April is found in the lowest circle in this column, which also contains the word Sunday. We then conclude that the years that have April 1st on a Sunday are: 1804, 1810, 1821, 1827, 1832, 1838, 1849, 1855, 1860, 1866, 1877, 1883, 1888, 1894, etc.
Suppose it were a matter of one of the first two months of the year -- for example, if we wished to know which were the years in which the 7th of February is a Saturday. The number 7 is found in the last column, where the month February is in the 3rd circle. Then moving horizontally to the left, until the one that contains the word Saturday, we find that it is in the fourth column. However, we must reject all the leap years in this column and substitute the asterisks that we find there with the leap years of the next column, which gives 1801, 1807, 1818, 1824, 1829, 1835, 1846, 1852, 1857, 1863, 1874, 1880, 1885, 1891, etc.
Remark. This calendar is only prepared for the current century, but we will make it truly perpetual by a simple transposition of the numbers that express the years, from one column to another, in such a way that the number 00 is found in the 7th column, in the 5th, in the 3rd, or in the first column depending on whether the number to the left of the last two digits gives a remainder of 0, 1, 2, or 3 when divided by four, so that with only four tables, [88] we have a calendar that can be used for all centuries, past and future, at least until the error, presently negligible, does not become, by the accumulation of the centuries, large enough to require a new reform.**
Mr. Gauss3 has given in the 2nd volume for 1802 of the excellent journal Astronomico-Géographique4 by the Baron de Zach,5 a method for calculating the epoch of Easter for each year. From this I deduced the following table,6 which would be easy to extend and which, for every year of the nineteenth century, gives the epoch of the full moon of March.
[89] The decades are to the left of the table and the units are above, as in tables of logarithms. Dates less than 20 belong to the month of April and the others to the month of March. The law of this table is very simple: by writing every one of the 30 days from March 21st to April 19th inclusive in a circle, these dates taken nineteen at a time, in the direct order, form the horizontal rows, and taken alternately nine at a time and ten at a time give the vertical columns.
Using this table, if we want to know the epoch of the full moon of March for the year 1854, we will find on the spot that it is April 12th. On the other hand, if we want to know in what years the full moon will fall on April 4th, we will find that this will occur in the years 1814, 1833, 1852, 1871, and 1890.
Also, as Easter is set as the Sunday that immediately follows the full moon of March, it is easy, using the combination of this little table with our calendar, to determine the epoch of Easter for each year and reciprocally to assign the years in which this feast falls on a designated epoch.
For example, if we want to know the epoch of Easter for the year 1852, because we have found that for this year, the full moon of March comes on April 4th and, as we have found elsewhere from the calendar, that April 4th is a Sunday, we then conclude that in 1852 Easter falls on April 11th.
[90] Conversely, if we ask in which years Easter will fall on April 1st, we have already seen that this day was a Sunday only in 1804, 1810, 1821, 1827, 1832, 1838, 1849, 1855, 1860, 1866, 1877, 1883, 1888, etc. On the other hand, in order that Easter falls on April 1st, the full moon of March must occur from March 26th to April 1st, inclusive, which occurs only in the years 1801, 1804, 1809, 1812, 1817, 1820, 1823, 1828, 1831, 1836, 1839, 1842, 1847, 1850, 1855, 1858, 1861, 1866, 1869, 1874, 1877, 1880, 1885, 1888, 1893, 1896, 1899, etc. Therefore, Easter will occur on April 1st only in the years 1804, 1855, 1866, 1877, 1888, etc.
* It was only through the plea of the editor of the Annales that Mr. Servois who had sent him this ingenious calendar, without attaching the least importance to it, was willing to permit it to appear in this journal, in which we think that it would not at all be out of place.
** I do not know if it has yet been remarked that the Persian intercalation, I mean that of 8 days over 33 years, slightly more accurate than the Gregorian intercalation, could be brought back in a completely remarkable way because of its precision and uniformity. To do this would require adding one day every four years, to delete it every century, to restore it every four centuries, to delete it every ten thousand years, to restore it every forty thousand years, and so on. Indeed, this would give the length of the mean year as, \[365^j + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{100} + \frac{1}{400} - \frac{1}{10000} + \frac{1}{40000} - \ldots\] or \[365^j + \left(\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{400} + \frac{1}{4000} + \ldots \right) - \left(\frac{1}{100} +\frac{1}{10000} + \ldots \right)\] or \[365^j + \frac{25}{99} - \frac{1}{99} = 365^j + \frac{24}{99} = 365^j + \frac{8}{33}.\] J.D.G.7

In a surprising move, HP and Cisco announced that HP will be reselling a custom-developed Cisco Nexus switch, the "Cisco Nexus B22 Fabric Extender for HP," commonly called a FEX in Cisco speak. What is surprising about this is that the FEX is a key component of Cisco's Nexus switch technology as well as an integral component of Cisco's UCS server product, the introduction of which has pitted the two companies in direct and bitter competition in the heart of HP's previously sacrosanct server segment. Combined with HP's increasing focus on networking, the companies have not been the best of buds for the past couple of years. Accordingly, this announcement really makes us sit up and take notice.
So what drove this seeming rapprochement? The coined word "coopetition" lacks the flavor of the German "Realpolitik," but the essence is the same – both sides profit from accommodating a real demand from customers for Cisco network technology in HP BladeSystem servers. And like the best of deals, both sides walk away thinking that they got the best of the other. HP answers the demands of what is probably a sizable fraction of their customer base for better interoperability with Cisco Nexus-based networks, and in doing so expects to head off customer defections to Cisco UCS servers. Cisco gets both money (the B22 starts at around $10,000 per module and most HP BladeSystem customers who use it will probably buy at least two per enclosure, so making a rough guess at OEM pricing, Cisco is going to make as much as $8,000 to $10,000 per chassis from HP BladeSystems that use the B22) from the sale of the Cisco-branded modules as well as exposure of Cisco technology to HP customers, with the hope that they will consider UCS for future requirements.

We often hear of city comparisons. In my many years in Russia, I must have heard that St. Petersburg was the Venice of the North hundreds of times. Another is Paris. How many times have you heard "[Insert city] is the Paris of the [insert region]"? Actually, a quick search reveals that there are at least 11 cities that are "the Paris of the East." Some are quite surprising:

Photoshop Elements 7 is packed with features to help amateur photographers with every stage of digital photo processing, from getting organized to sharing projects with family and friends. In Photoshop Elements 7 for Windows Essential Training, Jan Kabili shares workflow techniques for organizing, editing, creating projects, and sharing. She also demonstrates how to enhance photos with this budget-friendly software. Jan explains the latest updates to the Organizer and Editor workspaces, and also covers new features like the Smart Brush tool and Photoshop.com integration. Elements is very well known for its project features, and Jan shows how to create books, collages, panoramas, and more. Example files accompany the course.
Editing photographs in Elements can involve lots of trial and error. Knowing how to undo what you've tried is one of the most important things you can know about using the program. I'm working here in snowdog.jpg, inside the 06_07 Mistake subfolder in the Chapter 06 exercise files. Let's say that I want to eliminate this black dog from the white snow and I decide I'm going to try to use the Spot Healing Brush to do that. Now I'll tell you in advance, I already know this is not going to work, but that's the point. I want to show you how to undo something that doesn't work.
So I'm going to get the Spot Healing Brush here in the Toolbox and then I'm going to Command and click on my dog's leg. I'll try to eliminate it and I can do 5, 6 clicks and I just see that it is not working. How would I fix this? Well, my first reaction might be "Gosh! I better erase it", but no, that isn't the right reaction. Because if you go and get the Eraser tool and then you come in and try to erase, all that happens is all of the pixels get covered up with white paint, which is the color that happens to be here in the Background color box.
So, I'm going to go to the Edit menu and I'm going to choose Undo Eraser and I could go back to the Edit menu and choose Undo Spot Healing Brush and I could continue to do that 5 or 6 more times to get rid of all of it. To make that go faster, I could use the shortcut for Edit > Undo, which is Ctrl+Z on the keyboard, so I'm going to do that, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Z. That's okay, but imagine if I had made 20, 30, 40 marks. It could be really tedious to try to undo them with the Undo command or using Ctrl+Z.
A better way to work is to use the Undo History palette to fix your mistakes. The Undo History palette is accessible from the Window menu at the top of the screen. From there I'm going down to Undo History, and that opens this palette over here. Now you can see here all of those marks that I made which I then undid. Let me make some more marks so you can see how the Undo History palette works. Again with the Spot Healing Brush I'm going to come in, and this time I'll work at the front of the dog and each time I click, the Undo History palette is taking note of that action. So now I have made a real mess of my dog, but over in the Undo History palette I have an easy way to fix the mess.
One thing I could do is start clicking up these rows that says Spot Healing Brush and as I move up here with each click, I'm deleting another one of attempts to heal the dog. Alternatively, I could just take this slider on the right and slide it up to rows and that goes even faster. Or I could just go to the very top where it says, Open, click there and that would take me back to the state of how the dog looked when I first opened the image. Another nice thing about the Undo History palette is that you can go back down the other way. So if I decided that I wanted to bring those spot healing marks back, I could take that slider and drag it back down the marks and bring back all my attempts to wipe out the dog. I know that I can always go back to my original image by going all the way up to the top and clicking on this thumbnail of snowdog.jpg, which is the original image.
So when you are working on a photograph and trying lots of different things, I suggest that you open the Undo History palette and maybe even dock it in your palette bin as I've showed you how to do in other movies. By going to the More menu and choosing Place In Palette Bin When Closed, and then clicking the X. Then you'll always have Undo History there when you need it.

The win was a major boost for Les McJannet's men as it ended a run of three successive defeats and also saw the side record a first clean sheet of the campaign.
McJannet made five changes to the side which lost at Hucknall. In came Terry Hawkridge, Ashley Kitchen, Adam Kimberley, Neil Grayson and Ashley Grayson (for his full debut) and out went Curtis Shaw, Ryan Goward, Jermain Hollis, Theo Smith and Rob Gill.
The Millers began well but Dynamo showed from the start that they had more about them than the side which lost 7-2 last season and closed Carlton down at every opportunity. Shepshed, featuring Millers icon Steve Chaplin up front, gave Carlton an early scare when Chaplin hit the outside of the post which an angled drive.
Ian Brown was giving the Shepshed defence something to think about and had a neat turn and shot saved by Aidan Duffy before almost taking advantage of a mix up between Duffy and one of his defenders.
In a game of few chances Chaplin went close again but only a saving tackle from Kitchen prevented him from getting a shot in.
On 26 minutes the Millers went closest to scoring when Neil Grayson's header hit the bar with Duffy beaten.
Four minutes later the home side thought they'd taken the lead. Kitchen put the ball in the net following a free kick but a late flag ruled him offside.
Hawkridge then won the ball excellently in the right win position, cut inside and hit a fierce shot which was well saved. The ball fell to Neil Grayson whose drive looked goal bound until a superb second save from Duffy saw the ball eventually cleared.
Into the second half and the Millers forced three early corners in quick succession as they looked to take the lead.
But on 53 minutes Dynamo pushed forward and forced a good save out of Danny Marshall from a decent drive.
Hawkridge attacked and crossed and the ball was cleared inches from Neil Grayson's head with the striker about to convert, before Hawkridge himself hit a shot from the edge of the box that Duffy was equal to.
Just as it looked as if Carlton would have to settle for a point, the breakthrough came.
Hawkridge was sent clear down the right by a long ball from the back. With Shepshed appealing in vain for offside the winger's cross went behind Neil Grayson. But he was able to divert the ball to Ashley Grayson who cracked a low drive into Duffy's right hand corner to spark scenes of joy around the ground.
Shepshed replied and only a block by Kitchen prevented a clear sight of goal, and Ashley Grayson had another couple of long range efforts, but the Milers saw out the four added minutes to secure a fourth victory of the season.
Carlton Town: Marshall, Thornton, Fletcher, Kitchen, Millns, Hall, A Grayson, Kimberley (Hollis 87), Hawkridge, N Grayson (Gill 82), Brown (Wiggins-Thomas 70). Unused substitutes: Goward, Smith.
Goal: A Grayson 81

This foreword to the Michigan Law Review's 2013 Survey of Books Related to the Law considers the history of the American legal treatise in light of the well-known criticisms of legal scholarship published by Judge Harry Edwards in 1992. As part of his critique, Edwards characterized the legal treatise as "[t]he paradigm of 'practical' legal scholarship." In his words, treatises "create an interpretive framework; categorize the mass of legal authorities in terms of this framework; interpret closely the various authoritative texts within each category; and thereby demonstrate for judges or practitioners what 'the law' requires." Part I examines the origins of the legal treatise and its early importance to the U.S. lawyers; Part II the impact that the massive growth in published case law had on the treatise during the latter part of the nineteenth century; and Part III the implications for the treatise of shifts from print to electronic formats in the twentieth century. The Foreword concludes by speculating briefly on the continuing need for the treatise in light of Edwards's concerns and its place in the digital legal information environment.

Pallop Pinmanee
General Pallop Pinmanee (Thai: พัลลภ ปิ่นมณี) (born 25 May 1936) is a retired Thai Army general who took part in several coups, ordered the massacre of insurgents at Krue Sae Mosque and allegedly played a role in the attempted car bomb assassination of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. After the a 2006 military coup overthrew Thaksin, the military junta appointed Pallop the public relations adviser to the Internal Security Operations Command of Thailand.
Military career[edit]
Pallop was a member of Class 7 of the Chulachomklao Royal Military Academy, the so-called Young Turks, where he developed a close personal friendship with his classmate Chamlong Srimuang.[1] He began his military career as a commando and self-professed assassin.[2] With his Young Turk classmates, he was involved in successful military coups against the governments of Seni Pramoj and Tanin Kraivixien, and an unsuccessful April Fool's Day 1981 coup against the government of Prem Tinsulanonda.[citation needed] He also admitted to being the mastermind behind a series of assassination attempts against General Arthit Kamlang-ek, commander of the Army under Prem.[citation needed]
He took part in special guerrilla warfare missions in Laos in 1966 and 1967, and the following year was appointed chief of the Special Thai Ranger Army, a volunteer unit which carried out clandestine, anti-communist guerrilla operations financed by the US Central Intelligence Agency against the North Vietnamese Army along the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos.[2][3] In 1970, he was appointed leader of a secret seven-man unit that carried out extrajudicial killings. "The assignment was to kill the leaders of communist groups all over Thailand," he told a reporter. He claimed to have assassinated many suspected communists.[2]
Pallop was appointed a senator by the military led government in 1979, and became commander of the 19th Infantry Regiment in 1980. He also played a role in operations in the Thai-Cambodian border during 1986 and 1987.[4]
Pallop is known to have been involved in several coups.[3] Along with other members of "Young Turks", he helped topple the elected government of Seni Pramoj after the massacre of 6 October 1976. He also took part in the coup against the ultra-conservative government of Tanin Kraivixien in 1977. During the Prem government, the Young Turks tried to seize power on 1 April 1981. When it became clear that the royal family continued to support Prem, the coup collapsed and Pallop fled to the Lao PDR to escape punishment. He was jailed for two months by the Laotian government. Pallop later admitted that he was the mastermind behind a series of assassination attempts against General Arthit Kamlang-ek, commander of the Army during Prem's administration.[citation needed]
Pallop was later "rehabilitated" and retired from the Royal Thai Army with the rank of full general in 1996, but was appointed deputy director-general of the Internal Security Operations Command. It was in this position that he ordered military forces to storm Krue Sae Mosque during a tense stand-off with Southern insurgents.[citation needed]
Krue Sae mosque incident[edit]
Pallop was appointed commander of the Southern Peace Enhancement Center to deal with the insurgency in southern Thailand. On 28 April 2004, more than 100 militants carried out attacks against 10 police stations across Pattani, Yala and Songkhla provinces in southern Thailand.[5] 32 insurgents retreated to the Krue Sae Mosque, the main mosque in Pattani. A seven-hour stand-off ended when Pallop, the most senior Army commander on the scene, ordered an assault on the mosque. All the insurgents were killed. He later said, "I had no choice. I was afraid that as time passed the crowd would become sympathetic to the insurgents, to the point of trying to rescue them."[6]
It was revealed that Pallop's order to storm the mosque contravened a direct order by Defense Minister Chavalit Yongchaiyudh to seek a peaceful resolution to the stand-off no matter how long it took.[7] Pallop was immediately ordered out of the area, and later tendered his resignation as commander of the Southern Peace Enhancement Center. The forward command of the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC), which Pallop headed, was also dissolved. A government investigative commission found that the security forces had overreacted. The Asian Centre for Human Rights questioned the independence and impartiality of the investigative commission. In 3 May 2004 during a Senate hearing, Senator Kraisak Choonhavan, noted that most of those killed at Krue Se Mosque were shot in the head and there were signs that rope had been tied around their wrists.
The incident resulted in a personal conflict between Pallop and Defense Minister Chavalit, who was also director of the ISOC.[8] Pallop later demanded that the Defense Minister stop any involvement in the management of the southern insurgency.[9]
Opposition to Thaksin Shinawatra[edit]
Pallop is a noted critic of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. During protests in early 2006 against Thaksin, Pallop noted that "as a real friend and former classmate from military school, I fully support Chamlong (Srimuang) in his move (to oust Thaksin)."[1] He also threatened Thaksin with a military coup if Thaksin did not resign from the premiership.[10]
Assassination plot against Thaksin Shinawatra[edit]
Pallop was dismissed from his position of ISOC Deputy Director after Lieutenant Thawatchai Klinchana, his driver, was found driving a car containing 4.5 kg of explosives around the residence of prime minister Thaksin. Metropolitan Police Bureau commissioner Lt-General Wiroj Jantharangsee noted that the explosives in the car were completely assembled, equipped with a remote unit sensor and ready to be detonated.[11] Police Major Kamthorn Ooycharoen, head of the police bomb-disposal squad at the scene, also noted that the bomb was live and ready for detonation.[12] The bomb was composed of sticks of a remote control unit, M-8 military fuses, TNT, C-4 plastic explosives, and nine plastic containers containing ammonium nitrate fuel oil (ANFO).[3][12]
Pallop denied all involvement, noting that "If had wanted to do it, I would have done it more subtly. In my career, I have led death squads. If I had wanted to kill him, the prime minister would not have escaped.[13][14][15] He also claimed that "the explosives were being transported, they were not assembled to be detonated."[16]
After the 2006 coup[edit]
A military coup overthrew the Thaksin government in 19 September 2006. The junta appointed Pallop public relations adviser to the ISOC in May 2007. He claimed that he would apply "secret tricks" and a negotiated approach that would not lead to violent clashes: "Don't see me as a man who favours violence".[17]
During the political crisis that began in October 2013, Pallop confirmed with the media in late February 2014 that he had been asked by the caretaker government to join the Centre for Maintaining Peace and Order (CMPO).[18] An Australian academic claimed that the recruitment would be in regard to the "men in black" gunmen who became involved at protest sites—the term originated during the 2010 crackdown on red-shirt supporters, where mysterious armed figures also emerged.[19] Military sources have stated that the "men in black" may be professional mercenaries.[20]
Personal life[edit]

Advocates for ill and disabled in Vt fear being cut outBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | January 16,2013MONTPELIER Advocates for mentally ill and disabled Vermonters are cheering the Shumlin administration for seeking a $3 million budget supplement to cover unanticipated demand for government services.
But proposed revisions to the process by which the executive branch adjusts to mid-year budget pressures has drawn fire from advocates, some of whom think it could result in undue cuts to services.
At a public hearing Tuesday hosted by the House Appropriations Committee, advocates offered both praise and criticism for an adjustment to the current fiscal year budget that aims to address unforeseen financial pressure at the Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living.
Of particular concern, advocates said, is proposed language that would change how the department can amend the system of care in response to financial pressure.
The departments commissioner, Susan Wehry, said that in a state with a very rich advocacy community, the external response to mid-year budget shortfalls is often well, just go ask for more money.
But there also is an expectation from the Legislature that we live within our budget, and there is often pushback and tension about whether thats what the Legislature really intends, she said.
Wehry said the proposed changes seek to clarify legislative intent and to affirm in statute that the intent of the Legislature really is for us to live within our budget.
To do that, she said, the administration is also seeking to alter the mechanism by which budget changes can be made. Wehry said its part of an effort to be transparent.
Its saying to the Legislature that in order to live within our budget, we may need to make modifications to our system of care plan that allow us to do that, Wehry said.
Barbara Prine, a staff attorney at Vermont Legal Aid, said the changes arent necessary. She told lawmakers that the proposed language is unclear and appears to authorize the department to bypass the small amount of public process that changes to the developmental services must go through.
Under current law, Prine said, the department must vet proposed changes to the system of care with a committee composed of advocates, providers and recipients of care.
The language in the budget adjustment act appears to circumvent this process, Prine said in written testimony. It is unwise, undemocratic and is also against the existing statutory requirements of 60-day notice and opportunity for comment by affected individuals, advocates and professionals.
Wehry said Prine and other advocates seem to be concerned that the department aims to use the language as an end-run around outside scrutiny of its decisions. She said they need not worry.
If the worry is were trying to get a new process, thats not what were trying to get, Wehry said. What we want is to be transparent about our intent to work with (advocates, providers and clients) to modify the system of care plan as needed to stay within our budget target.

So this problem isn't really common, but I've seen few others too with the same problem: Deal 500+ damage and Killing Lord Asura quests aren't unlocking. I've killed Asura 3 times now and can't see what's the problem. As for the deal over 500 damage: I've hit over 1300 multiple times. Anyone got solution for this? I'm really annoyed because I'm trying to achieve all quests.

GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) - DreamWorks Animation SKG says Chairman Roger Enrico has resigned, effective immediately.
The movie studio is replacing Enrico, a former CEO of PepsiCo Inc. who had served as chairman since DreamWorks went public in 2004, with board member Mellody Hobson.
Dreamworks did not give a reason for Enrico's resignation in its release Thursday.
The company makes a few big-budget animated movies every year, including "Kung Fu Panda" and "Madagascar," along with some TV specials. It signed a five-year distribution deal with News Corp.'s 20th Century Fox in August.
Shares of DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. are up 8 cents to $20.59 in afternoon trading.

I had a mixed experience in college. The humanities professors thrived on total BS. But I did a lot of independent study and research in sciences
under some of the best of the best. Any so-called art professor probably would have shot me after a few weeks. ... they were the most
stuck-in-a-rut types of all (the more avante garde they got, the more they all looked the same, painted the same, spoke the same, etc.).
Technique and craft can be taught; art requires some kind of native instinct, which would be vastly aided if the entire term for "art" was
erased from existence. Personally, I've found Kodak's graphs and tech data sheets on these color neg films to be spot on.

PHILADELPHIA, PA – Rocco Leonard Martino, Ph.D., local author and entrepreneur will speak about his latest publication, "Cancel Christmas!" on Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 4 p.m. in the Social Room, Fournier Hall. The lecture is sponsored by the College's Business Department. "Cancel Christmas!" (Infinity Publishing, 2009) looks at the intrusion of government on the lives of people, using the example of government canceling the Christmas holiday due to the influence of a powerful, greedy businessman's whim. "Cancel Christmas!" is about character, and the conflicting emotions and forces that permeate human life - greed, fear, love, tradition, duty, and conscience. Following the lecture, Dr. Martino will offer a Q&A session and will sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase. "I wrote this book to be an important message for people who cherish freedom and tradition," says Martino. "I chose storytelling with humorous interludes to present a gripping possibility. "Cancel Christmas!" will make the reader laugh and also angry. The idea presented in the book could happen. Greed, ambition, and the misuse of taxpayer money are nothing new. This book depicts the classic struggle between might and right; and between raw power and thoughtful evaluation." Dr. Rocco Leonard Martino is a pioneer and international authority in the planning and use of computers, and originated many of the methods in use today. He is the founder and chairman of the board of CyberFone Technologies Inc, and most recently the founder, chairman, and CEO of XRT, Inc., the world leader in complete global treasury, cash and banking relationship management solutions. Dr. Martino is the author of 18 published books as well as scores of papers, and numerous corporate monographs. He is a popular guest speaker at functions in the United States and abroad, and has participated in numerous interviews and broadcasts speaking about foreign affairs, information technology, innovation, and national security. Martino has been knighted five times, most significant, his Papal Knighthood in the Order of St. Gregory the Great awarded by Pope John Paul II in 1991. He has served on numerous corporate and non-profit boards, including Gregorian University Consortium Foundation, Saint Joseph's University, The Vatican Observatory, and the MBF Foundation. Martino graduated summa cum laude from the University of Toronto. He earned a Ph.D. from the Institute of Aerospace Studies for his work on the re-entry of space vehicles. The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact John Gerace, Ph.D., P.E., assistant professor and chair of the business program at 215.248.7180 or e-mail email@example.com.
Please join the Division of Teacher Education and Leadership and the Council for Exceptional Children in participating in the Seventh Annual Walk for Lily's Hope Foundation on October 5th from 2-3 p.m.

South Carolina will be the highest-ranked team to play its postseason outside the BCS, while Clemson appears on the cusp of garnering a BCS at-large bid.
The Gamecocks check in at No. 8 in both the Associated Press rankings and USA Today coaches poll released Sunday at the completion of the regular season and conference championships. Clemson is No. 11 via the coaches and No. 12 via the media.
Because only two teams per conference may play in a BCS bowl (a rule going away next year with the College Football Playoff), South Carolina (10-2) will settle for likely the Capital One Bowl, or potentially the Cotton Bowl.
No. 2 Auburn appears bound for the BCS National Championship against top-ranked Florida State, and No. 3 Alabama will have an automatic BCS bid via the written rules (No. 3 or No. 4-ranked teams that don't win their conference are guaranteed a seat at the BCS table.)
Using AP rankings, the No. 8 Gamecocks were hopped by Big Ten champion No. 4 Michigan State and Big XII champion No. 6 Baylor, but watched No. 9 Missouri and No. 13 Oklahoma State tumble with defeats.
No. 5 Stanford (Pac-12 champs) and No. 15 UCF (American Athletic champs) also have automatic BCS bids.
Meanwhile, Clemson (10-2) held strong at No. 11 in the coaches' poll, being passed by No. 10 Oklahoma but passing No. 13 Oklahoma State as a result of the Sooners' upset victory in Stillwater. The Tigers moved up one spot to No. 12 in the AP rankings, also passing Arizona State.
Every major bowl projection has Clemson taking on No. 7 Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. The Buckeyes are expected to settle for a lesser BCS bid after letting its chance at a national title game berth slip away against the Spartans.
Michigan State and Stanford are locked in as the Rose Bowl participants, Baylor and UCF is the expected Fiesta Bowl matchup, and Alabama will be in the Sugar Bowl against either Oklahoma or No. 10 Oregon.
The BCS bowl selection show is 8:30 p.m. tonight on ESPN.

Steven Henderson
Considering in deeds we act as elves
People then would actually see themselves
If for a moment they only dare look
In this dark cavern all misery dwells
As the affliction in your soul draws nearer
The image in front of you becomes clearer
A key bearer unlocking all that is done
You now recognize the face in the mirror

BOSTON (AP) - Michael Wacha had a funny way of preparing for the World Series start that could save the season for the St. Louis Cardinals.
The 22-year-old October ace spent Tuesday afternoon on the tarmac in St. Louis when the team plane got grounded by mechanical problems.
No telling when the Cardinals would arrive in Boston, trailing the Red Sox 3-2 going into Game 6 Wednesday night.
Wacha said the players were watching movies and in a pretty good mood. They probably felt confident, too, because of Wacha. He's 4-0 with a 1.00 ERA in four starts this postseason, including a win over the Red Sox in Game 2.

Comments, questions and tips
This has gone down a storm with friends of all ages - I made it for a friend's party and her son was distraught when he got back from work next day and heard I taken what little was left home! He came round to retrieve it ...
I had no chickpeas last time I made it but I did have a tub of hummus - it was different but still delicious.
I cheated and it came out beautifully. I followed the recipe but used one can of sliced beetroot rather than fresh, chucked in an additional teaspoon of cumin powder, some coriander powder (as well as fresh) and splashed in some water so I could cut down on the amount of olive oil. One minute in the food processor and tah-dah! Yummy.

Three Law Faculty Members Receive University Merit Awards
July 23, 2010
Associate Professor Richard Leo earned the Law and Society Division Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP) Edwin H. Sutherland Award for his book Police Interrogation and American Justice (Harvard University Press, 2008).
Leo's book is a study of the criminal justice system that demonstrates how crime units have developed interrogation methods based on persuasion, manipulation, and deception. Police Interrogation and American Justice has also won the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences Outstanding Book Award and the Herbert Jacob Book Prize from The Law and Society Association.
"Leo offers an expansive analysis of the nature and impact of police interrogation (in this) comprehensive and interdisciplinary piece that nicely places the idea of interrogation within the contexts of criminology, law, sociology, and psychology," the Law and Society Division Society SSSP said. "The book offers an excellent analysis of policy directions in the protection of legal rights."
This is the inaugural award of the Edwin H. Sutherland Outstanding Scholarship competition, which will occur every other year.

Gear Review
My uncle and father tried these on a backpacking trip, and they could hardly get them down. They are normally the people that can eat anything, so these must have been really nasty. I'm sure some people like them, and the results you get are probably excellent, but I will personally find a different quick energy source.

Geeky, Nostalgic & Inspirational Vintage Video Game Print Ad Designs From The 80′s & 90′s
I stumbled upon some awesome vintage video game ads recently and I wanted to share them with you guys! Sadly, I remember almost ALL of these ads from when I used to obsessively collect and read every issue of EGM (electronic gaming monthly), gamefan, gamepro, nintendo power and all the other video game magazines from that time period. So when I saw these I was overcome with Nostalgia and great memories of childhood. Those were the days! I hope I can inspire you with these AMAZING print ads on your next project, or just take you down memory lane for a while and get all warm and fuzzy – either way.
