Control the U.S. Debt!
Neither the president nor Congress appears to be near a solution on how to control the U.S. debt. Use this interactive to show them how to do it.
Through fieldwork and lab work, archaeologists have been piecing together what happened to bring about the collapse of Copán, once a thriving center of Maya civilization. In this activity, you'll be following in the steps of the archaeologists who studied Copán, looking for clues to how it collapsed. You'll be trying to answer two questions:
1. Why did Copán collapse?
2. Was the end a gradual decline or a rapid fall?
To get started, click on one of the topics to the left (monuments, houses, bones, people, or botany). Use your Copán journal to record important clues along the way.

Introducing the Unreal Canucks GIF Tournament, a quest to determine which Canucks GIF is the greatest in existence. We've narrowed it down to 32 candidates, divided into four divisions then seeded, one through eight. Now we need your help. An important note: this isn't just something to do while the players and the owners waste time bickering over who should get what's left of the money they're burning — it's also a super-important initiative. After all, if we don't do this, how else will we know? AND WE MUST KNOW.
(1) We call this gif LORD OF THE DANCE.
Here's what makes this gif excellent: the guy that taps Kesler on the shoulder as he enters the room. It's as though Kesler has a "dance" button and that guy just switched it on.
(4) We call this gif LORD OF THE POMMEL HORSE.
I'm still in shock that this gif is here. I thought the Keslurking gif that 'pommel horse' knocked off in Round 2 was a lock. But it was not meant to be, as Kesler's awkward gymnastics routine over Pekka Rinne charmed more than 50% of voters and now has it poised for a Kesler Division victory. Did I miss something? Actually, yes. Only just now did I notice that, after Pekka Rinne takes a knee to the head, he incorrectly looks right instead of up, because who expects there to be a guy on top of the net?
OKAY. Now let's vote.
WINNER — LORD OF THE POMMEL HORSE (After the first round of voting ended in a 50/50 tie, an overtime phase yielded aTags: unreal canucks gif tournament
Already I'm bored of the dance
With the tawdry let's duly dispense
It's not the gif that should advance
Regarding the pommel horse lord
I love the Kesler it presents
This august gif can't be ignored
Let's leave behind the pretty prance
(A pale pretence of excellence)
Which the light touch does not enhance
Just exercise some common sense
(And choose the one that has a chance)
The second gif must forthwith hence

Mohan Lal is now working on a film which is directed by Jeethu Joseph. The upcoming film was dubbed as My Family. It was not confirmed till now that that is going to be the paired with Mohan Lal. The name of Meena is being heard as the leading lady. Meanwhile the director changed the title of the movie as Dhrishyam.
It was rumoured earlier that Simran is going to play the female lead character opposite Mohan Lal. The director himself said it is only rumor. Simran had some problems adjusting the dates for the film. It is now rumored that Meena will play the character. The film is about a father, mother and their two daughters. Many heroines turned down the offer as they have to play the character of the mother whose daughter is studying plus two. If the rumor of Meena playing the character turns out to be true, this will be the seventh film for both of them together.
Though the name is changed to Dhrishyam, there is no indication that the story line is also changed. Photography of the movie is going to be handled by Sujith Vasudev. The movie will have two music directors. Anoop, the new editor will be working for the film.

Regional Economic Outlook: Western Hemisphere
The economic outlook for Latin America and the Caribbean remains very challenging. Regional growth is projected to decline for a fifth consecutive year in 2015, dipping below 1 percent. Weakness is concentrated among South America's commodity exporters, where falling global commodity prices have compounded country-specific challenges. Meanwhile, growth is projected to be steady or stronger for most of the Caribbean, Central America, and Mexico, supported by lower oil bills for importers and robust economic recovery in the United States. The analysis in this report examines core challenges facing the region: the impact of lower commodity prices on fiscal and external positions, the drivers of the slowdown in investment, and the role of economic diversification for longer-term growth prospects.

In these food-obsessed, your-juicer-or-mine times, chef crushes are all but inevitable. Whether your tastes lean towards elegant toques or tatted-up rebels with a colander, professional cooks inspire the sort of excitement and intrigue once reserved for rock stars and tweed-wearing thesis advisors.
With Valentine's Day upon us, we cast our gaze on five up-and-coming chefs whose groundbreaking restaurants, innovative projects and culinary je ne sais quoi render them awfully crush-worthy on our eyes.
Call us romantics. Call us hungry. Just call us.
First up? Bar chef Greg Best, who revolutionized Atlanta's cocktail scene at Holeman & Finch Public House. Now, he and partner Regan Smith are scouting spaces around the city for their next venture, rumored to be opening this spring. Be still our hearts.
In Nashville, the arrival of Irish import Trevor Moran has the whole city atwitter. After spending four years at Copenhagen's legendary Noma, the 34-year-old is heading up Midtown's perennially popular Catbird Seat. Early word on his menu includes the likes of oak-aged duck with burnt pear and whiskey sour-infused cotton candy.
New York's restaurant scene is so competitive, many Gothamites head to lunch only to find that last week's sandwich shop has been replaced by an avant-garde tasting table. (Or fried chicken joint.) (Or dimly lit speakeasy.) (You get the idea.) So when Chef Sara Kramer opened Glasserie on a desolate stretch of Brooklyn's Greenpoint, it hardly seemed auspicious. But Glasserie landed on countless Best of 2013 lists, with locals and critics clamoring for Levantine-esque dishes like turmeric-braised rabbit. Earlier this week, Kramer left the boite in the capable hands of Eldad Shem Tov, most recently of Noma. While we wait to see where she lands, we rest assured that, in a city with a fickle heart, Glasserie seems destined for the long haul.
Fried chicken doughnuts, Stumptown-infused sea salt… Portland, Ore. has seen it all, which makes the buzz around newcomer William Preisch even more impressive. Last summer, the 29-year-old debuted his groundbreaking Holdfast Dining series. The pop-up dinners are held at kitchens and event spaces throughout the city and consist of six to 11 courses prepared and served by Preisch himself. Seats are limited and sell out early – all 12 January dinners were snapped up in 25 minutes – so book early, and book often.
Bicoastal baby David Nayfeld, who cut his teeth at Manhattan's three-Michelin-starred Eleven Madison, now has hearts aflutter in Los Angeles. This month, he will inaugurate Fifty Seven, an experimental restaurant with a rotating cast of chefs. Developed by Beau Laughlin's Cardiff Giant, the group behind L.A. mainstay The Churchill, Nayfeld's arrival is the hottest thing to hit the Arts District's Heinz loading dock in years.
Got room for one more? Head to the City of Brotherly Love, where James Beard Award winner Peter Serpico sets hearts alight at his eponymous South Philly spot. Opened in June 2013, the industrial chic, Stephen Starr-backed space is warmed by a buzzy open kitchen. The 31-year-old chef serves creative fare like deep-fried duck legs and smoky ravioli filled with his play on Cope's corn, an old school, Pennsylvania Dutch classic. And they lived happily ever after.

Closed Circuit Seattle Screening Giveaway
The Prize
5 winner(s) will win. This contest/giveaway ends Aug 21.
Contest Details
One morning, a busy London market is decimated by an explosion. In the manhunt that follows, only one member of the suspected terrorist cell survives: Farroukh Erdogan (Denis Moschitto), who is arrested and jailed. Preparations begin for what promises to be the trial of the century.
But there's a hitch: the government will use classified evidence to prosecute Erdogan, evidence so secret that neither he nor his lawyers can be allowed to see it. Hence the need for the Attorney General (Academy Award winner Jim Broadbent) to appoint a Special Advocate, an additional government-approved defense lawyer (Claudia Simmons- Howe, played by Golden Globe Award nominee Rebecca Hall), one who has clearance to see classified evidence and who can argue for its full disclosure when the trial moves to "closed" session. The rules for the Special Advocate are clear: once the secret evidence is shared with her, Claudia will not be allowed to communicate even with the defendant or with other members of the defense team.
But just as the case is on the eve of going to trial, Erdogan's lawyer dies suddenly, and a new defense attorney, Martin Rose (Eric Bana), quickly steps in. Martin is tenacious, driven, brilliant - and an ex-lover of Claudia's. The two lawyers make an uncomfortable pact to keep their former affair hidden. But as Martin begins to piece the case together, the outlines of a sinister conspiracy emerge, one that will draw him and Claudia dangerously close again.
Contest winners
This contest is now finished. Here are the winners, listed in alphabetical order:

Eleven black bears were harvested during the state's annual bear hunt this month in southeastern Kentucky.
This year's season took place this past weekend on Dec. 8 and 9, and one of the bears set a new state record, weighing in at 410 pounds. It was taken in Letcher County by Jenkins resident Doug Adkins. The previous record was 350 pounds, which officials note is the field dressed weight of the animal.
All of the bears this season were taken from Harlan or Letcher County, counties which share Pine Mountain and contain the highest bear densities in Kentucky.
Though the state's quota of 10 bears was exceeded by one this year, Dobey noted that was also due to the way the season is designed.
"If the quota is not met in a single day, the following day is open until sundown regardless," said Dobey. "We have the season structured in the event this happened. The baseline quota will prevent over harvest of bears."
The 2012 season marks the first time hunters met the quota of bears in the four-year history of modern bear hunting in Kentucky.
Additionally, by meeting the quota for the season, the bear quota hunt with dogs scheduled for Dec. 17 through Dec. 21 is now a chase-only season in which no harvest of bears shall occur. Harvest of bears would only occur if the bear quota was not met during the regular bear season. The scheduled late bear chase season with dogs will last from Dec. 24 through Dec. 28. Harvest of bears is not allowed during this chase season as well.
The first bear season in Kentucky opened in 2009, and in total 17 bears have been killed, 13 of which were males, according to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. Officials there say the season is designed so that more males are harvested than female.
"Having the hunt in mid-December helps prevent excessive harvest of female bears," said Steve Dobey, coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "Most female bears are in their dens by this time of year."
Hunters purchased 359 permits for the 2012 hunt, down from 484 permits last year.

Posts: 3
|I love subbed anime. I love comedy. And I love the net. Combine all three and I find the anime called Working!! (I don't know if there is any dub version of it yet) "The story is set in a family restaurant named Wagnaria in the northern Japanese prefecture of Hokkaido. A high school freshman named Sōta Takanashi works part-time among the restaurant's high-spirited, mysterious, yet cool staffers." And by cool staffers, cough, they mean werid. Example, Takanashi, our main guy, joined the cafe mainly because he likes small things which includes his senpai, Popura Taneshima.( shes as 4 feet tall.) Meanwhile, Takanashi gets his butt, or face to be accurate, by Mahiru Inami who has androphobia, who happens to have very strong muscles. The manager could care less causes she eats everything and the other waitress has a kantana. In short, funny crap happens.

Taxman launches name-and-shame crackdown on "cheats"
Posted: February 21, 2013|
The Inland Revenue has launched a name-and-shame crackdown on "deliberate" tax defaulters by publishing their details online.
Details of nine businesses and individuals from across the UK have been flagged up by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) on its website, in a new move to clamp down on "cheats" by the taxman.
HMRC said it has taken the approach to create a level playing field for "honest people and businesses" and crack down on the minority who seek to evade tax.
It is now is encouraging the "non-compliant" to make a full disclosure at the outset of an investigation, as doing so means their details will not be published.
David Gauke, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, said: "HMRC is dedicated to clamping down on the small minority of people who break the law, and finding and taking action against tax cheats who try to evade their responsibilities.
"The publication of these names sends a clear signal that cheating on tax is wrong and reassures people who pay their taxes – the vast majority – that there are consequences for those who refuse to tell HMRC about their full liability.
"It also encourages defaulters to make a full and prompt disclosure and cooperate with HMRC to avoid being named."
HMRC said it will update the list of names published on its website every quarter.

Across the nation, school districts continue to face tough decisions to close gaps in funding, with sports programs occasionally finding themselves in the crosshairs.
Most notably, the Duval County School District, an area which includes Jacksonville, planned to completely eliminate all sports funding before private donations made some Jacksonville school sports possible.
Now a small town in South Texas is cutting out all sports completely, but it has made that hard decision for another reason entirely: It needs all students to dramatically improve academically, or else it might close for good.
As first reported by the Associated Press, the Premont Independent School District unilaterally decided to cancel all interscholastic athletics for the remainder of the 2011-12 school year in a last ditch effort to save Premont schools, which have been on probation by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) since spring of 2011.
Finally, the TEA announced in the middle of the fall semester that the entire school district would be forced to close on July 1. That order has since been put on hold, but the school district must prove that it has made sufficient progress by the end of the school year, or else it will be annexed by an adjoining district which, in a particularly sparsely populated stretch of South Texas, is still some 35 miles away.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28, 2006 Draped in strands of red, white and blue lights, and crowned with an American flag, Louisville's biggest-ever Christmas tree was lit Nov. 24 in honor of all U.S. servicemembers.
But that wasn't the original plan, Wayne Hettinger, organizer of the annual holiday event, "Light Up Louisville," said. "We decided we were going to build an electronic tree that was 40 feet (tall) with a programmed lighting show," he said.
That was before he got a call from Scottie and Debby McCorkle of New Albany, Ind. The couple offered Louisville a tree from their property.
With plans for an electronic tree already under way, Hettinger was making no promises. "Then (Debby) said, 'Well, I understand, (and) if we do (this) the only thing that we're asking in return for the tree is that we dedicate it in the memory of the men and women serving in the military past and present,'" he said.
That sealed the deal for Hettinger.
"Like so many others living … in America, Scottie and I wanted to show our support for the men and women that defend our country and freedom," Debby said in a Light Up Louisville news release.
The perfectly-shaped, 65-foot Norwegian spruce presented some relocation challenges, however, Hettinger said.
Getting a flatbed trailer up the winding road that led to the McCorkles' residence on a wooded hill overlooking the Ohio River wasn't an option. Factor in that the tree was estimated to weigh at least 4 tons before it was cut, and the logistics were daunting.
The tree, which ended up weighing in at 9 tons, required the services of something not in the city's fleet: a heavy-lift helicopter, Hettinger said. So he turned to the military.
"We ended up finding a Chinook unit, the 159th (Aviation Regiment) out of (Fort Eustis) Virginia that said that they could make it into a training exercise and help us out," he said. "It was a great story from the get-go, because it was two cities coming together to have a Christmas tree that was going to be dedicated to the men and women serving in the military, plus the Army was coming in to help out."
But the tale of the tree continued to grow, he said. Once in Louisville, the behemoth tree was reloaded onto a flatbed trailer and driven downtown.
It was in place for less than 24 hours before a storm hit the area and blew it over in the pre-dawn hours. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident, and the effect on traffic was minor, Hettinger said.
With the help of the crane company, the tree was standing again before rush hour really got under way, Hettinger said. "Everybody was head over heels to get this thing straightened out, because (the tree) had been dubbed the Pride of America," he added.
The Pride of America, sporting 57,000 red, white and blue lights donated by Lowe's home improvement store, was lit in a special ceremony during the Light Up Louisville parade. When the parade stopped in front of the tree, 200 to 300 servicemembers and their families got a primo view of the special tree-lighting ceremony. A joint color guard presented the colors and a vocalist performed the national anthem.
"With the first salute, we lit that one tree all in red, white and blue to honor (the servicemembers) and to say thank you to those families," Hettinger said. "It was our chance for this community to say thanks to them."
The rest of the festival lights were lit later in the evening when Santa Claus arrived.
The Pride of America tree will remain lit until the end of the holiday season when it will be removed in pieces for the Louisville Zoo to recycle as bedding for the animals and landscaping mulch.

"We know who that is," the Rebels running back says. "That's 40."
It's Kentrell Lockett, the joke-telling, morale-boosting, charisma-oozing Ole Miss defensive end who wears No. 40 on game days. ...

If you are looking for a beautiful Ontario Lakeside Seafood styled restaurant, with excellently attentive service, great drinks, great food (maybe not as great as a $100+ gourmet meal in a large city but far better than any franchise steak, seafood or continental restaurants that typically dominate rural Rochester locals) and a great history going back to the gay 1890's, then you need to have a cozy and romantic dinner at Hedges as soon as possible. I've taken every out of town family and friends there and they all loved their dinners, the service and beautiful view of the lake. One more note, I have two kids, one 5 and one 2 and the restaurant, in my opinion, is family friendly having children sized meals offered. They love looking at all the nautical decorations especially around the bar areas. Some nights the bar area has a pianist which is especially charming while dining. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant.
- Order: Started with an absolutely delicious Lobster Bisque as an appetizer, then a fresh,leafy salad with authentic well balanced in spices, oil and vinegar italian salad dressing (not the usual super sweet stuff you find at a grocery store). Then for the main course an incredible filet mignon with a wonderful mushroom and bernaise like sauce with a gentle taste of port wine or sherry. Finally topped off the dinner with Key Lime pie and a dark rich coffee.

Re: 1.0-6106 for X86-32 thread
Just out of curiosity (I am after all green here) I am running FC2 and my compliments go out to NV for the 6106 drivers, they work like a dream.
I wonder what all (I have seen them scattered but dont have a complete list) of options are actually avail. to be used in the Xconfig. I know some wont work on my system but wouldn't mind the complete list all the same. (cant help but wonder if I could get htis sucker to use split wallpapers and the like).
Anyway, here is what I have so far:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "MSI"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic)"
Option "TwinView" "on"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
Option "MetaModes" "1152x864,1280x960"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "crt,crt"
Option "NoLogo" "off"
Option "NvAGP" "on"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "WindowFlip" "false"
Option "Xinerama" "on"
So the question is, what other goodies can I fit in here (the temp thing was one I wouldnt mind at all)

'Too little trust' is what Friedman saw at COP15, especially between the United States and China – with neither wanting to give an economic advantage to the other by cutting their emissions. He favors an American 'Green revolution' so the United States can be an economic leader in what is poised to eventually be a post fossil fuels world. Friedman also compares the inefficiency of the currently ultra-polarized political situation around environmental action in the United States with China's one party autocracy.

Editorial reviews
The classic childs game of peek-a-boo becomes an exuberant guessing game in this compact, colorful board book from Laden (When Pigasso Met Mootisse, 1998). Each of the riddles begin with the phrase Peek a on one page. The facing page contains a cut out in an enlarged keyhole shape, allowing the reader a brief glimpse of the underlying picture. Readers can then attempt to solve the puzzle before turning the page to reveal the complete picture. The rest of the rhyme is printed on the facing page, e.g., one riddle reveals a quixotic collection of cheerful animals. The answer? Peek a Zoo, of course! Laden provides plenty of clues for the youngest reader. The artwork on each overlaying page is decorated in a theme to match the answer and the solution to every riddle always rhymes with boo. Color saturates every page, easily capturing a childs attention. The array of cheerful creatures (and one choo-choo train) populating the pages and Ladens whimsical rhymes make this a book little ones will reach for again and again. Companion book is Ready, Set, Go! (Board book. 1-3) (Kirkus Reviews)

Mount Sinai announces partnership with USTA, US Open

The USTA and the US Open are teaming up with The Mount Sinai Medical Center to promote the health benefits of tennis and to ensure a lifetime of tennis for millions of players – professional and recreational – throughout the country.
Mount Sinai, located in New York City, home of the US Open, has been named the exclusive medical services provider and hospital of the USTA and the US Open. In addition to providing on-site clinical care for the professionals competing in the US Open, Mount Sinai's team of medical experts will lead the development of policies around injury prevention and will conduct educational outreach to promote the health benefits of tennis.
This effort could impact millions of recreational players in the United States and potentially draw new players to the sport.
"There's nothing more important for tennis players, no matter their age, than living a healthy lifestyle," USTA Player Development General Manager Patrick McEnroe said after an hour-long ceremony inside The Mount Sinai Medical Center's Guggenheim Pavilion announcing the new partnership. "Establishing exercise and nutrition at an early age in a kid's life is just as important as teaching proper technique on the court. Like tennis, good health is a lifelong pursuit that's really worth going after because it makes everything about life more enjoyable."
Former Top 10 player and U.S. Davis Cup standout James Blake, a native New Yorker, closed out the proceedings by meeting and playing a pickup doubles match with young members of the Harlem Junior Tennis and Education Program (HJTEP) on a 36-foot court sized right for kids. The 33-year-old started playing tennis at age 5 as a HJTEP member with his brother, Thomas, and credits tennis with helping him in maintaining health throughout his life.
"Even if it's hitting a ball against the wall in your driveway, you're moving and also building up coordination that'll make you a better tennis player and a happier kid," said Blake. "Tennis players aren't invincible, even the elite ones, so it's important to run, play and stay active to be as healthy as possible."
The new, national year-round partnership is believed to be one of the most in-depth relationships between a sports entity and a health care provider. Kenneth L. Davis, president and CEO of The Mount Sinai Medical Center, underscored the mutual commitment to health following the announcement.
"Tennis has multiple health rewards, whether you compete on the world stage of the US Open or play with family and friends at a local park," said Davis. "We admire the USTA's work in promoting the health benefits of physical exercise, and we are pleased to lend our expertise to public education efforts while providing expert treatment and strategies for injury prevention."
In conjunction with the new partnership, Alexis Chiang Colvin, M.D., assistant professor of sports medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and a specialist in the surgical treatment of sports-related injuries of the knee, shoulder and hip, will serve as the USTA's Chief Medical Officer. Colvin has worked with NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers and the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, as well as collegiate athletes, and she previously served as a consultant to the USTA for the US Open providing medical care to the players.
In her new role, Colvin will assist the USTA with initiatives across multiple divisions, including player development, community tennis, and diversity and inclusion. She will also serve as the medical advisor to the U.S. Fed Cup team. Colvin's colleague, Dr. James Gladstone, will serve as the medical advisor to the U.S. Davis Cup team.
Together, the USTA and Mount Sinai hope to tackle such epidemics as childhood obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, all of which can be countered through the exercise tennis provides. Youth outreach will be an area of focus, and Colvin will be working with pediatricians in Mount Sinai's Kravis Children's Hospital as well as members of the Department of Cardiology to help promote tennis as a model youth sport.
"The vast resources of Mount Sinai will be a tremendous asset to the USTA," said USTA Executive Director and COO Gordon Smith, "especially as we seek to set the sports industry standard for maintaining the health and wellness of our players."
