Sensitive bad boy rocker John Mayer has emerged in Los Angeles, where he was spotted visiting a doctor's office yesterday. We've haven't seen much of Mayer lately, he's been laying low both online and in person. Clearly absence makes the heart grow fonder, because we've almost missed the guy! John, who's gone through clean cut phases in the past, seems to be embracing his grungier side. We like the look on him – the long, shaggy hair is a nice touch. We couldn't help but be reminded of another handsome bad boy who rocks the locks, shades and hat. Johnny Depp, is that you?

Pay for Human Resources Coordinators in the United States sits in the ballpark of $41K annually. Total incomes of Human Resources Coordinators incorporate potential for, in a few cases, more than $4K from bonuses and close to $5K from profit sharing; these performance components cause packages to range between $30K and $54K. The most important factor affecting compensation for this group is the company, followed by geography and years of experience. Job satisfaction is high and work is enjoyable for most Human Resources Coordinators. Women account for the majority of Human Resources Coordinators who took the survey — 90 percent to be exact. Most report receiving medical coverage from their employers and a strong majority collect dental insurance. The data in this summary comes from the PayScale salary survey.

A human resources (HR) coordinator is in charge of the administration and maintenance of human resources activities and programs, including staffing, compensation, benefits, training, and workplace safety. Staffing duties including posting job listings as necessary to fill vacancies, and looking over resumes or applications that are received to ensure that the basic qualifications are met before passing them on to the hiring team. The coordinator will answer employee questions about human resources matters such as insurance, payroll, retirement plans, hiring procedures, and company policy; referrals are made to specialists when necessary. The job also includes managing new hire orientations, human resources events, and open enrollment for benefits such as health insurance, and company-wide meetings. A background in human resources is required for the coordinator position, and a degree in a related field such as business administration is preferred. To work in human resources, an applicant should have a professional demeanor with coworkers and outside parties (such as the third party managing any company insurance plans) and should be able to promote a team environment within the HR department. Excellent oral and written communication skills are required. It is a desk job with typical office hours, Monday through Friday. A human resources coordinator should be proficient in the use of office equipment including computers, fax machines, printers, copiers, and scanners; one should also be well-versed in common software such as MS Office. As the position involves handling personal information of employees, the coordinator is expected to maintain proper security for any and all employee files.

Human Resources Coordinators who transition into a Human Resources Director role may receive large pay increases as the latter position pays an average $78K per year. The most common next step for a Human Resources Coordinator is to become a Human Resources Manager or a Human Resources Generalist. The former position pays an additional $18K per year on average, and the latter position pays $7K more per year.
Maxim Healthcare Services, The Boeing Company, Lowe's Home Improvement Inc., Wal-Mart Stores, Inc, and Hilton Worldwide are top-notch employers for Human Resources Coordinators in this area. Although The Boeing Company heads up the field in terms of compensation, offering the highest median salary at $49K, pay at this particular employer still varies considerably, running the full spectrum from $42K to $86K.
Maxim Healthcare Services offers the least money; the median income there is just $30K. The pay range is also pretty narrow, as compensation generally sits between $25K and $45K.
Human Resources Coordinators seem to wield many skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Human Resources Information System, ADP Human Resources System, Benefits Administration, and Human Resources are correlated to pay that is above average. Those educated in Employee Relations tend to be well versed in Microsoft Office.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Human Resources Coordinators, extensive experience does not lead to significantly more money. Salaries for the relatively untried average out to around $39K, but survey participants with five to 10 years of experience earn a significantly higher median of $42K. On average, Human Resources Coordinators make $43K following one to two decades on the job. In the end, more experience does seem to mean larger paychecks; seasoned Human Resources Coordinators with more than 20 years of experience earn a predictably higher median salary of $45K.
For Human Resources Coordinators, busy San Francisco offers a higher-than-average pay rate, 24 percent above the national average. Human Resources Coordinators can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Washington (+19 percent), New York (+16 percent), Boston (+15 percent), and Los Angeles (+9 percent). In Orlando, salaries are 15 percent below the national average and represent the lowest-paying market.

Not being in the best of health is nothing new to Venus Williams, who is battling a bug at this week's Family Circle Cup. She said her goal this week is to "hang in there" until the bug goes away. She managed to thwart Chanelle Scheepfers, 7-5, 7-5, Wednesday to advance.
Williams missed much of last season while battling injury, but earlier this year she won her 45th singles title at the Dubai Tennis Championships.
"I was constantly in physical therapy," Williams said of her 2013 season. "It was really hard work, hours and hours and hours. By the time the end of the year came, I felt like I had been on tour all year even though I hadn't."
Williams, 33, said a lot of what she is accomplishing comes from experience, and she learned from her young sister Serena.
"Have you seen the 'Wizard of Oz,' the lion? He didn't have a heart but he wanted it. So he got it. He did what it took," she said. "You have to recognize, 'Hey, I've got this issue.' Let me fix it. You can't just ignore it. I think for me it was a learned thing."
Her advice to younger players is not to make excuses.
"Whatever it takes to win, obviously in a fair way, you have to do that," she said. "I think a lot of times people aren't responsible for their own actions, and in sport you want to be the best you have to be.
"Just knowing what you've given to be on top, that is satisfaction itself and it crosses over into the rest of your life as well."
No makeup
From the category "questions you never thought you'd hear at a professional sports event" but did Wednesday night after No. 2 seed Jelena Jankovic finished her match.
"Bit of a random question. I heard you say that you stopped wearing makeup on court. Is that right?" someone asked Jankovic.
After laughing, Jankovic said she's getting older and only puts makeup on when she goes to parties or somewhere she wants to look nice.
"Here, I want to look like a beast. I just want to look as scary as possible. I don't want to look pretty and all nice and dolled up. For what? I'm going to get dirty and sweaty," she said, laughing.
"I'm just getting older. I have no energy for that anymore."
Jankovic said she thought it was important to look presentable on the court.
"You know, you kind of go through those stages where you have to try all different things, you want to look different. You want to be this and that, and now I'm kind of growing into who I am, and I don't know, just things are changing as I'm getting older. So now it's when I go to the parties, I put the makeup and I want to look different. Then when I put the makeup, I'm like, 'Oh, wow, I look different,' you know.
"So it's nice to see that different face in the mirror when if you put it every day, you get bored. I kind of figured that out. I put sunscreen on court, maybe some lip gloss."
Happy Hour music
Tennis and music fans can enjoy Happy Hour from 4-8 p.m. inside the Racquet Club of the Grand Lawn the next two days with Plane Jane performing Thursday and the Blue Dogs playing Friday.
Attendance numbers climbed slightly through four days of the Family Circle Cup with the total through five sessions at 31,629, an average of 6,326. Last year's total through four days was 31,499.
To equal the FCC record of 95,767 (set over 14 sessions in 2010), the tournament must average 7,367 fans over 13 sessions.
Original 9
Williams would love nothing more than to add her name to the list of Family Circle Cup champions a decade after winning. And she spoke to the legacy of the "Original 9," players who helped form what would become the Women's Tennis Association. The first Family Circle Cup winner was Rosemary Casals in 1973, seven years before Williams was born.
"The Original 9, they started it all, and they represented so much not only for tennis, but women's sports in general over 40 years. It means so much to be continuing that legacy," Williams said.
In addition to Casals, the Original 9 included Billie Jean King, Nancy Richie, Peaches Bartkowicz, Kristy Pigeon, Valerie Ziegenfuss, Julie Heldman, Kerry Melville Reid and Judy Tegart Dalton.

"The present book is intended as a progress report on [the] synthetic approach to evolution as it applies to the plant kingdom" (ref. 1, p. ix). With this simple statement, G. Ledyard Stebbins formulated the objectives of Variation and Evolution in Plants (1), published in 1950, the last of a quartet of classics that, in the second quarter of the 20th century, set forth what became known as the "synthetic theory of evolution" or "the modern synthesis." The other books are Theodosius Dobzhansky's Genetics and the Origin of Species (2), Ernst Mayr's Systematics and the Origin of Species (3), and George Gaylord Simpson's Tempo and Mode in Evolution (4). The pervading theory of these books is the molding of Darwin's evolution by natural selection within the framework of rapidly advancing genetic knowledge. Stebbins said it simply: "In brief, evolution is here visualized as primarily the resultant of the interaction of environmental variation and the genetic variability recurring in the evolving population" (ref. 1, p. xi).
Variation and Evolution in Plants distinctively extends the scope of the other books to the world of plants. Dobzhansky's perspective was that of the geneticist. Mayr 's was that of the zoologist and systematist. Simpson's was that of the paleobiologist. All four books were outcomes of the famed Jesup Lectures at Columbia University. Plants, with their unique genetic, physiological, and evolutionary features, had been left out of the synthesis until then. In 1941, the eminent botanist Edgar Anderson was invited to write botany's analogue to Mayr's Systematics and the Origin of the Species and to publish it jointly with Mayr's book. Anderson did not fulfill the task, and Stebbins was thereafter invited to deliver the Jesup Lectures in 1947. Variation and Evolution in Plants is the outgrowth of those Lectures.
The mathematical underpinnings of the modern synthesis were set between 1918 and 1931 by R. A. Fisher (5) and J. B. S. Haldane (6) in Britain, and Sewall Wright (7) in the United States. According to Darwin, evolutionary change occurs by natural selection of small individual differences appearing every generation within any species. Any change effected by selection is typically small, but it may amount to major change over time. In contrast, Thomas Huxley and Francis Galton, among Darwin's most dedicated supporters, argued that evolution occurs by selection of discontinuous variations, or sports, and that evolution proceeds rapidly by discrete leaps. In Huxley's view, natural selection, operating on only gradual differences among individuals, could hardly account for the gaps between existing species evident in the paleontological record. According to Galton, evolution proceeds by "jerks," some of which imply considerable organic change, rather than as a smooth and uniform process.
In the latter part of the 19th century, the biometricians Karl Pearson and W. F. R. Weldon believed, like Darwin, in the primary importance of common individual differences. William Bateson, like other geneticists, argued for the primary importance of discontinuous variations. The controversy was acrimonious. The rediscovery of Mendelian inheritance in 1900 might have served as the common grounds to resolve the conflict. Instead, the dispute between biometricians and geneticists extended to continental Europe and to the United States. Bateson was the champion of the Mendelians, many of whom accepted the mutation theory proposed by De Vries (8), and denied that natural selection played a major role in evolution. The biometricians argued that Mendelian characters were sports of little significance for the evolutionary process. Fisher, Haldane, and Wright advanced theoretical models of evolutionary processes based on the natural selection of genetic changes (mutations) that are small when considered individually but are cumulatively of great consequence.
Theodosius Dobzhansky was the first to complete the mathematicians ' theoretical propositions with a wealth of biological knowledge and empirical support, and Mayr, Simpson, and Stebbins (and, less notably, many others) soon followed. Stebbins was particularly suited to bring in the evidence from plants. He was born in 1906 and became interested in natural history during his childhood. He started studying botany in his early teens while he was a student at Cate School in Santa Barbara, CA. As an undergraduate at Harvard (1924–1928), he came under the influence of Merritt Lyndon Fernald (1873–1950), a charismatic teacher and distinguished botanist, whom Stebbins accompanied on field trips to study the New England flora. In 1928, Stebbins became a graduate student at Harvard and worked on the cytology, geographic variation, and seed development of Antennaria, a genus that bore several apomictic species that could be collected in nearby localities. He would focus on the distinctive evolutionary role of vegetative reproduction in plants throughout his life.
The 17 papers that follow were presented at the colloquium "Variation and Evolution in Plants and Microorganisms: Toward a New Synthesis 50 Years After Stebbins." The colloquium celebrated the 50th anniversary of the publication of Stebbins' classic book. Professor Stebbins, although frail for the last few years, intended to attend the colloquium. Alas, he became ill about 1 month before the colloquium was held and died on January 19, 2000, 2 weeks after his 94th birthday. The "Appreciation" that follows this introduction was delivered by Peter Raven, on January 28, at the time that had been reserved for Stebbins ( 9). The 16 papers following the "Appreciation" are organized into five successive sections: Early Evolution and the Origin of Cells, Viral and Bacterial Models, Protoctist Mod
This paper was presented at the National Academy of Sciences colloquium "Variation and Evolution in Plants and Microorganisms: Toward a New Synthesis 50 Years After Stebbins," held January 27-29, 2000, at the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center in Irvine, CA.

Recently I have seen reports that the iPhone 4 'breaks' easier that the iPhone 3GS. I was about to get an iPhone so I would like to know is it just the outside of the iPhone that smashes easily or does the inner hardware break too.

I don't think those rumors can be substantiated to any degree by the data out there. The iPhone 4 is by far the most popular iPhone to date and users really do not report any defects more so than the previous iPhones, as far as I am aware.
When you say "breaks" what are you referring to? There is a "death grip" issue with the external antenna which received lots of press and that may be what you've heard. However, any case should minimize that occurring.

Don't be sorry about not being a "tech wizz", that's what we MFers are here to help you with
Part of the issue is that the iphone4 is glass - it's a double-edged sword because it enables you to really shine it up and look slick (see my thread on the wet look), but also means those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones - or in this case, drop their phones

I don't mean just that. It happens, but I'm a careful person with my possessions.
Not saying I believe the media, they tend to tizzy out the truth a little bit, but on the news last night it said that iPhone 4's were breaking in handbags. Also I am aware (i actually know something, yay!) that iPhone 4's have had reception problems and then Steve Jobs said something about holding phones wrong and every one got angry at each other and things. If reception is a big problem with the iPhone 4's please say because I have no experience whatsoever with iPhones, but lots with some other Smartphones.
I'm sorry again for the people who find this of extreme annoyance, (is that even a word?) But I just wasn't born as talented as you. Sorry
i know i ask annoying questions but
please please forgive me! i don't mean

Recently Apple admitted that there is a reception problem with the iPhone 4. Cases report signal strength bars being low in lots of places and even calls disconnecting halfway through. Admirable admitting, Apple!
It seems Apple responded in two different ways. Firstly, they promised a software update hopefully fixing the problem that seemed on occasion to pop up on the iPhone 3G & 3GS as well.
Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars. Users observing a drop of several bars when they grip their iPhone in a certain way are most likely in an area with very weak signal strength, but they don't know it because we are erroneously displaying 4 or 5 bars. Their big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place.
To fix this, we are adopting AT&T's recently recommended formula for calculating how many bars to display for a given signal strength. The real signal strength remains the same, but the iPhone's bars will report it far more accurately, providing users a much better indication of the reception they will get in a given area. We are also making bars 1, 2 and 3 a bit taller so they will be easier to see.
We will issue a free software update within a few weeks that incorporates the corrected formula. Since this mistake has been present since the original iPhone, this software update will also be available for the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G.
Yes, Apple acted admirably by promising a software update. However, it seems that Steve Jobs made some people angry by saying they have been holding their phones wrong!
"Gripping any phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone. If you ever experience this on your iPhone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases." Steve Jobs.
To me parts of it seem logical- using a case for your phone, especially the iPhone, is quite logical and seems to some just common sense. Cases are also good for protection, and in some cases have helped phones survive nasty drops.
People may tell me this, "Why would you drop you iPhone anyway?" but it isn't (usually!) on purpose. The iPhone 4 screen and back is made of enhanced glass, so it, in some cases, has broken easily. It has been reported the back has broken in a handbag, which is not good. But it brings me back to: 'A Phone + Glass = You Probably Should Get A Case'. I am not completely agreeing with Steve Jobs though, cases shouldn't be completely necessary, they should be a choice thing but I get cases for everything, and I haven't broken an electronic device yet. Another reason you should get a case is because accidental breakage such as dropping your iPhone, smashing the screen etc. will not be covered under your warranty. So it to me seems like a pretty nice idea to get a case, and who wants the back of their iPhone scratched and dirty anyway?
When the next generation of iPhone comes (because it probably will) all this probably won't be a problem, but compared to other things it (as I have recently found out) can be fixed. I'd recommend a case personally because glass doesn't mix with anything really, and who wants to hold their iPhone all weird anyway?
Thanks to this investigation I will be getting an iPhone 4 soon, so I'm glad I did it. I hope someone here got a little bit out of it and I hope no one criticizes me too much because I apologize for not being as brilliant as helping people as you are.

times and nothing has ever happened - I dont use a case because I like to preserve the phones beauty (see my thread on the wet look).
What I DID do is get Ghost Armor on the sides, which prevents any potential death grip - though that issue was supposedly fixed anyway. Hope this is a more helpful response for you.

I know the iPhone is pretty slick looking, but I'd recommend a good case. A $200 or $300 dollar piece of equipment that will go with you everywhere you go deserves some protection. Plus, with glass on both sides a drop is twice as likely to cause cosmetic damage.

Anyhow, the internet is full of rumor and opinion. I haven't seen anything myself that compels me to believe Apple did anything other than introduce a great phone to the market, and then let Steve drive the PR wagon into a ditch for a while. The iPhone is made up externally of mainly glass, not aluminum. One would expect it to be less scratch-prone and more crack-prone due to that. Yes, bullet trains use similar materials. They also have different mounting systems, tension systems to distribute load and glass curvature options that a 4" phone does not. My mechanic gloves are made of kevlar, but that doesn't mean they are even remotely functionally similar to an M2 AP.
The reception issues seem to be a divining rod for warring pundits and fanboys, so I'll stay out of that one.

That way you'll be a mile away from him, and you'll have his shoes.

The bread-and-butter of acoustic playing covered in 50 hands-on lessons.
The Guitar Lab DVD series employs a hands-on approach that allows students to play their way through the curriculum, rather than struggle through tedious theory and exercises. Features PIP (picture-in-picture) video, standard notation, guitar tab, power tab files, practice rhythm tracks, and bonus material.
Top educator Rich Maloof presents 50 acoustic licks covering a broad range of crucial acoustic techniques you must know. While a single-note line (a lick) is certainly fair game here, the bread-and-butter of acoustic playing is covered in 50 lessons that demonstrate: fingerpicking patterns, open-string voicings, changes with bass lines, alternate tunings, Brit-pop strums, left-hand mutes, double-stops, funk patterns, alternating bass, movable chord-shapes, advanced voicings with open strings, barre chords concepts, Travis-picking, descending bass lines, hammer-ons and pull-offs, alternate chord voicings, harmonics, and many of the techniques that define the styles of the acoustic masters.
Add these 50 licks to your acoustic arsenal and you'll have the insight and chops to deliver the perfect mood and texture for any tune, from acoustic power-chords to delicate fingerstyle work.
Guitar Lab's innovative learning systems employ a hands-on approach where students play their way through the curriculum using learning tools such as PIP video, practice rhythm tracks, and interactive tab and notation, which allows the student to play along with the tab and notation, at any tempo, without a change in pitch.

Ocean is Theory - Into the Mouths of Lions
Ocean is Theory - Into the Mouths of Lions
Record Label: None
Release Date: May 2, 2008
Into the Mouths of Lions, the debut EP by Atlanta natives Ocean is Theory, will probably be an album of almost immediate gratification for fans of Thrice, Circa Survive and The Receiving End of Sirens, as stylistically they are mining a similar territory, what with the walls of thick lush guitars with well considered lyrics, harmonic vocals and a massive and magnificent sound. But regardless of first impressions, patience rewards the listener with an even more impressive aural experience. In fact, I cant remember the last time I was so impressed by a mere 20-minutes of music. The group are outstanding young musicians and show songwriting flair beyond their years, and they have a natural ability for creating massive hooks and brilliant melodies. Put simply, as far as debut EPs go, Into the Mouths of Lions is just about one of the best youre likely to find in 2008.
Despite their strong and evidently apparent influences, dont make the mistake of assuming that Ocean is Theorys sound is unoriginal, as they add a great sense of hooky fun, accessibility and a Sparta-esque anthemic tinge to their phenomenally inspiring sound, as demonstrated by the strong opener Plant Your Fields, a song which grabs you right from the off and pulls you into the record tremendously. The utterly seamless transition between Plant Your Fields and the massive sounding By No Means is genuinely impressive, and the music as a whole is lush, textured and full of surprises. They are particularly adept at effectively shifting between loud and soft dynamics, best demonstrated by Oh Broken Son, a song with an explosive chorus counterbalanced by quieter more intricately arrange verses. The mostly straightforward but utterly enjoyable More than Conquerors is armed with a huge towering sing-along chorus and urgently rushes through the speakers, demanding that all within earshot stop and listen. Closer A City of Water may be the best track here, with its simply humongous sound and wonderful soaring vocals, and it ends the record on a definite high, both delivering closure and making you long for more.
In truth, the music can come across as a little tame, as their admittedly effortless combination of massive hooks, tuneful vocals and common time songs with post-hardcore guitars and thick walls of sound deprives them of the raw edge that makes Brand New or Underoath so exciting, as well as the remarkable intelligence and experimentalism of Thrice or Circa Survive. In many ways Ocean is Theory is one of the most accessible hardcore bands Ive ever heard, almost the polar opposite of the grittiness and defiance of At the Drive-In or Glassjaw. But despite what they lose with having a cleaner well-produced sound, the style of music does suit them phenomenally well, and its incredibly easy to listen to. You can argue the merits of their style all you want, but there is no denying that they do what they do well.
Considering the quality of their music, counterbalanced by their accessible sing-along sound and flair for massive hooks, Ocean is Theory have superstar potential written literally all over them. If the group can produce a first full-length that is as impressive as this debut release, they may be onto something truly remarkable. Regardless of their transcendent potential, Into the Mouths of Lions is a thoroughly easy and enjoyable record to listen to, and all five songs are very well written and superbly executed. The group do a wonderful of paying tribute to their influences while at the same time creating a record that feels fresh and unique. Its music thats both intelligent and fun; both unique and familiar; both loud and melodic. Id love to hear a full-length record from this band, but in the meantime, Into the Mouths of Lions is a great introduction for them, and it stands as one of the most impressive debut EPs of 2008.
Cool. I might check this out then.
this band is so good! they really need to release an album soon.
Good review bro. I really want to get a copy of this. I'm listening to the tracks on their myspace and they are legit!

Smith stressed that the commitment to help fund the full project would likely be at least a year away.
"My guess is it would be 2011 before you see any shovel in the dirt," he said.
Wilmington Supervisor Randy Preston expressed opposition to funding additional construction at the college when so many county residents were already struggling financially.
"I think the timing couldn't be worse for this right now," said Moriah Supervisor Thomas Scozzafava, noting the radio system update and other large-scale projects the county would soon be undertaking.
Most spoke in favor of funding the construction planning, even if they were wary of the cost of the project.
"Nobody's going to know what the real cost is until you have some sort of professional study," said County Manager Daniel Palmer.
Schroon Lake Supervisor and board chair Cathy Moses said having a plan ready for construction might position the project for more state or federal funding.
Douglas and Ticonderoga Supervisor Robert Dedrick noted the need to consider renovating a campus they said was "literally falling apart."
"We will lose students if we don't maintain facilities that are competitive," said Dedrick.
The committee ultimately voted to approve the $55,000 allocation with Preston as the only member opposed.

Sens. Bernie Sanders and Patrick Leahy both voted against the nomination of John Brennan as director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The full Senate felt otherwise, confirming him 63-34.
From Leahy:
"I have worked with John Brennan, and I respect his record, his experience, and his dedication to public service. But the administration has stonewalled me and the Judiciary Committee for too long on a reasonable request to review the legal justification for the use of drones in the targeted killing of American citizens. The administration made the relevant OLC memorandum available to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence in order to advance this nomination. I expect the Judiciary Committee, which has oversight of the Office of Legal Counsel, to be afforded the same access. For that reason, I reluctantly opposed Mr. Brennan's nomination."
From Sanders:
"While we must aggressively pursue international terrorists and all of those who would do us harm, we must do it in a way that protects the Constitution and the civil liberties which make us proud to be Americans. With regard to the use of drones and other methods employed by the Central Intelligence Agency, I am not convinced that Mr. Brennan is adequately sensitive to the important balancing act required to make protecting our civil liberties an integral part of ensuring our national security."

Postcard - Private Albert Edward Kemp, 'To My Mother', Embroidered, 2 Jun 1917 Reg. No: HT 13598
- Summary:
- Alternative Name(s): Birthday Card
Embrodiered postcard written on the Western Front during World War I by Private Albert Edward Kemp to his mother. Albert writes: 'Dear Mother Wishing you mother many happy returns of your birthday hoping this to find you in best of health as it leave myself with fondest of love of safe return to you from your son Bert'.
According to the Australian War memorial, 'Embroidered silk postcards were first made in 1900 for the Paris Exposition with popularity peaking during the First World War. A thriving cottage industry began around 1915 and the cards were generally embroidered on strips of silk mesh by French women in their own homes. There could be as many as 25 cards on these strips. Once completed, they were sent to factories for cutting and mounting on postcards. Production ceased around 1923 and an estimated 10,000,000 handmade postcards were produced from 1915 to 1919. Designs included Australian themes, greetings, flags, Christmas, units and camps.'
Albert Edward Kemp was a 32-year-old butcher living in Caulfield and married to Annie Josephine, when he enlisted. He and Annie had a daughter, Ethel Mavis, and a baby son, George Percival. Albert enlisted at Royal Park on 4 October 1916, and was assigned to the 22nd Reinforcements, 6th Battalion - regimental number 6800. His battalion left Melbourne 25 October 1916 - just 21 days after he enlisted. He was shipped to France on 27 March and was taken on strength on 4 April. On 21 September 1917, Albert died in the trenches in Glencorse Wood, Belgium. His body was never found. He is commemorated at 29 The Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial, Belgium.

- Embrodiered postcard with coloured floral pattern and embroidered inscription of front, and inscribed in hand-writing on reverse.

WASHINGTON – Embattled Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke won confirmation for a second term Thursday, but only by the closest vote ever for the crucial post and after withering criticism from lawmakers for bailing out Wall Street while other Americans suffered in recession.
The Senate confirmed Bernanke for a new four-year term by a 70-30 vote, a seemingly solid majority but 14 votes worse than the closest previous vote for a Fed chairman.
The battle over Bernanke's confirmation has been a test of central bank independence, a crucial element if the Fed is to carry out unpopular but economically essential policies. Its decisions on interest rates can have immense consequences, from the success or failure of the largest companies to the typical home-buyer's ability to get an affordable loan to the price of cereal at the grocery or gas at the corner station.Read more...

State officials want to implement a comprehensive $15 saltwater fishing license starting next year to bring Maryland into compliance with federal law and keep revenue here that otherwise would be funneled to Washington.
The new license, which needs General Assembly approval, would end free fishing for anglers on the Atlantic Ocean and on the coastal bays behind Ocean City.
In addition, the bill: would increase the length of short-term licenses from five to seven days; would establish a free registry for anglers fishing aboard a pleasure boat, waterfront property owners and their immediate family fishing from their property and individuals fishing in a free fishing area; would create reciprocal fees for non-resident licenses; and would authorize a commercial pier fishing license.

Despite comments and motions made at Tuesday's Work Session, it may be hard to justify that the power and responsibility to set Compensation for the next Board's term was an oversight. Additionally, it may also prove difficult to send this power back to the General Assembly.
From the County's webpage on Code Home Rule:
From this document:
- under Code Home Rule the County Commissioner must now enact that public local law instead of the General Assembly.
From the Form of Government Committee's report, prior to enacting Code Home Rule:
A review of the legislative package forwarded by the Charles County Commissioners for introduction in the 2000 session of the General Assembly reveals an even greater proportion of bills which could have been enacted locally…it would appear that nine (9) bills…could have been enacted locally. Among these nine were the park impact fee proposal; a noise ordinance with civil citations for violation thereof; Commissioners' compensation in the next term; and the enactment of new nuisance abatement provisions related to housing quality.
Code Home Rule counties have greater authority in the imposition of impact fees than Charter counties. Both can approve their own structure of government. Both may decide on the compensation of its elected governing body, and both require minimum legislative requirements related to legislative days, publication of proposed bills, etc.
And even the Comparison Chart spells it out:
Commissioners may enact recommendation of a salary commission established by ordinance.
From a British invasion to a recruitment camp for African-American Civil War troops, the sleepy little hamlet that is present-day Benedict has seen its share of action.
The county's cultural resource study of Benedict highlights the importance it played in both local and national history and recommends ways to ensure that the town receives recognition during the state's 200th anniversary celebration of the War of 1812.
At least a half-dozen states are considering measures that would toughen restrictions on young athletes returning to play after head injuries, inspired by individual cases and the attention the issue has received in the NFL.
Washington state led the way last year, passing what is considered the nation's strongest return-to-play statute. Athletes under 18 who show concussion symptoms can't take the field again without a licensed health care provider's written approval. Several other states, including California and Pennsylvania, have similar bills pending.
One day after delivering his first State of the Union address aimed at fixing the country's financial problems, President Barack Obama (web | news | bio) is taking his message of job creation on the road to show how he plans to make good on his promise.
President Obama is expected to unveil an $8 billion high-speed rail system during a town hall meeting Thursday in Tampa, Fla. Funded by economic stimulus money, the president hopes the new system will spark economic activity and create more jobs. The plan will include 31 states in 13 major corridors.
The right way to make a left turn just might be to briefly drive on the opposite side of the road.
After years of traffic backups and accidents involving motorists trying to turn left at a popular intersection here, state transportation officials think they have found the solution in a new kind of highway interchange called the "diverging diamond" that is now getting serious looks from several other states.
Missouri unveiled the nation's first such interchange last June at the intersection of Missouri 13 and Interstate 44. It is designed to move traffic more efficiently by giving left-turning cars uninterrupted, or "free" access to the highway through their own ramps by channeling traffic, temporarily, to the opposite side of the road, said Don Saiko of the Missouri Department of Transportation

EN ROUTE TO CANBERRA, Australia, Feb. 21, 2008 The Navy's outer-atmosphere blasting of an ailing U.S. spy satellite this week proves that the nation's missile defense systems work, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said today.
"I think, actually, the question of whether this capability works has been settled. The question is: Against what kind of a threat (do we employ the technology)? How large a threat? How sophisticated a threat?" Gates said during a meeting with press after a tour of the Navy's USS Russell, used as back-up for the shootdown.
Gates toured the destroyer at U.S. Naval Station Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, during a stop on his way to Canberra, Australia, for the Australia-United States Ministerial Consultations.
Gates said there have been several successful attempts of the defense system, and the fact that it works also is validated by Congress' continued funding of the program for the past several years. In its beginnings, the program struggled for funding, and that is what many people remember about missile defense, he said.
"I think that people remember a time some years ago when missile defense was extremely controversial and a lot of people questioned whether it would work or not, and there was always a struggle in the Congress to get money for missile defense," Gates said in an interview with media traveling with him. "One of the significant changes that has taken place in Washington over the past few years has been a general recognition that the development of the system has proceeded, that it does have capability, and that it is increasingly sophisticated in terms of the kind of challenges that it may be able to beat -- although it still (is) very much designed for a very limited kind of threat."
While Congress and other leaders likely were aware of the missile defense system's capabilities, the general public still was not, Gates said. He said that a side benefit of the satellite shootdown was that the American public got to see a demonstration of the missile defense capabilities.
"Completely a side benefit of yesterday's action was to underscore the money that the Congress has been voting for this has resulted in a very real capability," Gates said. "I think the issue of whether it will work is behind us, and we just need to keep improving this capability."

"Memories of Elvis" By the Numbers: Pelvic Thrust Count and Other Highlights
|Allison Babka
|Thomas Hickey performs as Buddy Holly.
11. Davis wiped his face with a pair of panties that a fan tossed to him during "(You're the) Devil in Disguise."
12. The band performed another excellent medley for "Hound Dog," adding "Roll Over Beethoven," "Don't Be Cruel," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "Teddy Bear" to the song.
13. Davis gave a number of birthday shout-outs, including one to Beatle Bob, who was dancing near the stage. He and the band sang "Happy birthday to y'all." ("I didn't know he was still alive!" claimed a lady near me.)
14. The band closed the evening with a dedication to the armed forces and first responders, performing "Dixie" and the "Glory, glory, hallelujah" section of the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" in front of a backdrop that featured a giant American flag and bald eagle. I spied some audience members singing along, hands over hearts.
"Memories of Elvis" by the numbers (by my count, which admittedly could be off, as I was busy laughing, clapping and singing):
40 scarves and leis: In true "King" fashion, Davis removes items that are glistening with his neck sweat and doles them out to adoring ladies in the front row.
26 roses: Davis' group resells and reuses the roses that fans offer him during the show, funding flowers and pear trees at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery and programs at Fisher House.
25 stuffed animals: The toys that men and women toss onstage go to Shriners Hospital, St. Louis Children's Hospital and 16 other area charities for kids. (Side note: As we waited for the "Elvis" portion of the show, my friend remarked, "All the people holding teddy bears are starting to freak me out.")
4 panties: It's not a true concert experience until women throw thongs to a frontman.
1 "Thank you very much": I was surprised that one of Presley's well-known phrases wasn't used more.
1 (???) pelvic thrust: This was the fourth time I've seen the show, and it was the least thrusty of the bunch. He basically pranced the stage and pointed at people. Don't get me wrong, it was still great, but it was... different. I have the list of things in my notebook that I counted with hashmarks next to them, and by pelvis, I have "1(?)".
Allison Babka ...And I caught it on film.

This film is based on the true story of Alvin Straight (played by Richard Farnsworth), an elderly man who drives across Iowa and Wisconsin on a tractor to visit his brother, who suffered a stroke. As a David Lynch film, it is bizarre in that it's a David Lynch film that isn't completely bizarre. In fact, it's insanely straightforward and to the point, much as I expect the state of Iowa to be, by and large.
You'll be surprised to learn that driving a tractor instead of a car is NOT a common occurance in Iowa. In fact, a quick Wikipedia search taught me that Iowans drive "cars," very similar to the ones that we seen in movies set in Los Angeles or Seattle. Huh.
If you liked Timothy Olyphant in Deadwood or Justified, you'll hate him in the horrible film, The Crazies, as he plays a small-town sheriff contending with residents who are just going bitchcakes all up in that piece. It's a terrible, terrible movie, and manages to make Iowa seem like the logical place for the government to conduct weird experiments that turn people crazy.
Iowans – please feel free to chime in via the comments – is your state a good state to conduct chemical experiments on its residents? My default answer is "probably," but I want to get all the facts before making a ruling as to whether or not your people should be gassed. You're welcome.

How to Fit a Tow Bar to Your Car
Looking to tow something, but don't own a tow truck? Turn your car into a towing machine with a tow bar. Here's how to put one on your vehicle.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Find the mounting points. In most cases, you will have to remove part of the interior boot trim of the vehicle, the floor covering and some time the side panels. In some but not all cases, you will also need to remove the vehicle's bumper, sometimes you have to drop the vehicles exhaust tail pipe and remove the heat shield.
2Bolt the tow bar straight into 2 holes on each side of the vehicle's chassis legs. In some cases, there may be supporting arms that secure further forward on the chassis or up to the back panel. Some tow bars mount directly to the bumper in place of the standard bumper beam and then slide into the chassis legs. In some cases, a bumper cut may be required before refitting it to the vehicle.
We could really use your help!
- All vehicles registered after Sept. 1998 have to have manufacturers tow bar mounting points built into the chassis. This often makes the tow bar fitting easier in terms of bolting it to these mounting points.
- Vehicle electrics are normally accessed behind one of the rear light clusters and scotch locked into the loom feeds but with newer vehicles fitted with multiplex or Cannas systems a vehicle specific plug-in electrical kit may be required.
Things You'll Need
- Tools
- You will need a good range of tools to carry out a successful tow bar installation.
- 10mm socket and spanner
- 13mm socket and spanner
- 17mm socket and spanner
- 19mm socket and spanner
- 24mm socket and spanner
- Phillips and flat screw drivers
- Torque bits and driver (mainly for bumper fixings)
- 12 volt light tester
- Junior hacksaw (bumper cuts)
- Pliers
- Side cutters
- Insulation tape
- Torch
- You may not need all of the above but this would be a good working tool kit to carry almost any tow bar fitting

Spakenburg Things to Do
Botter sailing
Botter is a type fishingboat they use in Spakenburg. It is possible to sail along with one of these boats, during my internship one personnel trip was held this way. You can enjoy the Eemmeer (Eemlake) and help operating the boat. Since my company arranged the trip I'm not sure of the details, but a visit to the local tourist office (VVV) might give the information you need. Included are some pictures of our trip that day.

Spakenburg is coupled with its neighbouring village, so most signs read Spakenburg-bunschoten. Take the train from Amsterdam Central Station to Amersfoort, there is a direct connection with bus 76 which will take you take you to the centre of Spakenburg.

Ravens-Steelers, different faces, same intensity
Harbaugh: Pittsburgh, Ravens is 'the greatest rivalry' in NFL
3 things that Ravens must change
Suggs: Team in "state of emergency"
Report card: Defense/special teams
Harbaugh on "unforgivable" mistakes
Team must prove they're contenders
Steelers rushing attack sinks Ravens
State of emergency for Ravens?
Exactly what is the Ravens-Steelers rivalry these days?
It's still intense, but it's different. It has changed a lot, even from last season. Many familiar names have moved on and won't be playing Sunday at Hines Field. No Ray Lewis and Ed Reed for the Ravens, no James Harrison and Mike Wallace for the Steelers.
"Definitely, the look of this movie is a little bit different than what we've seen before," said Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs. "But like I said, it's Ravens-Steelers, Heinz Field, at 4:25 p.m. And once you get into it, it's going to feel like the Ravens-Steelers."
Meanwhile, both teams are going through major issues. The Steelers (1-4) didn't win their first game until Sunday, and are in danger of becoming irrelevant in the AFC North. The Ravens (3-3) are .500 with a feeble ground attack, averaging 2.7 yards per carry. The Steelers aren't much better, averaging 3.1 yards per carry.
The Ravens and Steelers with two of the worst rushing attacks in the NFL? Go figure.
In some ways, the state of both teams adds more edge to Sunday's game. Only one team from the AFC North may make the playoffs this season, and the Ravens view their five remaining games against division rivals as critical.
"It's still a division game, and it's still anybody's division,'' said quarterback Joe Flacco. "You take care of business in the division, and you give yourself a good chance at the end of the year."
A number of key Ravens will be getting their first taste of the Ravens-Steelers rivalry, like left tackle Eugene Monroe, defensive lineman Chris Canty, linebackers Daryl Smith and Elvis Dumervil, and safety Matt Elam.
"From a distance, it seemed pretty intense," Dumervil said. It's going to be good to be a part of it."
Game-planning for Dumervil and other new Ravens gives Steelers coach Mike Tomlin something new to be uptight about this week.
"I really haven't sat down and thought about comparing it to what it's been in the past," Tomlin said. "It's a waste of time as I sit here today. It's about preparing for it in its present state, with the components that are playing in its present state. They are very impressive.
"I don't think records are as important in this game, from an intensity standpoint. If nothing else, I think it heightens it. There's a certain sense of urgency based on the position that the teams is in."
Each of the last three Ravens-Steelers has been decided by a three-point margin. So while some of the players in the rivalry have changed, Suggs expects the intensity at Heinz Field to feel the same.
"It's what a football atmosphere should be," Suggs said. "You're playing in a stadium against a team that has so much tradition. The heated animosity between the two teams, the rivalry and the tradition and the past of the two teams. You've got to love all that."

Testimony to start Tuesday in attempted deputy shootings
Man was wanted in a Missouri killing when he shot at officers
CORPUS CHRISTI - A man accused of shooting at two Nueces County deputies last year while he was wanted in a Missouri killing appeared in court Monday a much different looking man.
Todd Meine, 43, is being tried on two counts of attempted capital murder and two counts of aggravated assault on a public servant.
Meine, who wore jeans and a collared shirt in court, was slimmer than at the time of his arrest six months ago. He grew out his hair into a shaggy style, but still sports a mustache.
A jury was selected on Monday.
Opening statements will begin at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday in 214th District Judge Jose Longoria's court.
He is accused of shooting at two off-duty deputies on Dec. 17 at the American Bank Center. One of the rounds lodged in the wristwatch of one of the deputies, who were working security jobs at the events center.
At the time, Meine had an outstanding warrant from Missouri. He is accused of shooting Matthew Crumly, 34, to death in April 2009 at a club in Arnold, which is near St. Louis.
Prosecutors have said Meine first would be tried on the local charges before he is sent to face the murder charge in Missouri.
Each count is a first-degree felony punishable by five to 99 years or life in prison and as much as a $10,000 fine.

ASP MySQL and TEXTAREA Question
I'm working on a webpage that uses MySQL to store a users information and then a personal story. I have the input and display working but I got the idea of taking the data out once it's in the database and allowing the user to edit it and then put it back in the database. A full profile editor so to speak. I can get the individual elements out, like the name, location, date of bitrth and so on but when I get the story from a MySQL longtext field and try to put it in a TEXTAREA control it won't show up. I've played around with it quite a bit and I can get it to go in the TEXTAREA by putting it in a DIV first and then taking it out of the DIV and putting it in the TEXTAREA but of course I don't want to do that. I'll put code snippets below so you can see what I'm doing. I'm using ASP Classic to create the webpage. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
' get story from database
story = oRS("story")

' get story from database
story = oRS("story")
story = Replace(story, vbcrlf, "
")

<% response.write(story) %>

var txtHTML = document.getElementById("myDIV").innerHTML;
txtHTML = txtHTML.replace(/
/g, "\n");
document.getElementById('story').value = txtHTML;
I can use another method to put the story in the TEXTAREA control and it doesn't work either.

It seems there's something about the story string that the textarea control doesn't like. I've tried changing it several ways but it doesn't want to work without putting in in the DIV first. I can use a hidden DIV to force it to work but I don't want to do that. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
NOTE: If the story is a single paragraph it works okay, but if the story contains more than one paragraph with returns in between them it stops working. That is placing the story directly in the TEXTAREA control instead of the DIV first and then the TEXTAREA. So there's a problem with the returns between the paragraphs.
But trying to simulate what seems to be happening when I put the story in a div and take it out and put it in the textarea doesn't work either.
story = oRS("story")
story = Replace(story, vbcrlf, "
")
story = Replace(story, "
", vblf)
Re: ASP MySQL and TEXTAREA Question
What if you did something like this?

4.0 out of 5 stars Hill begins to hit his stride with Dalziel and Pascoe,
This review is from: A Pinch of Snuff (Mass Market Paperback)
Detective Inspector Peter Pascoe's dentist, who is used to seeing broken jaws and broken teeth, tells Pascoe that a scene in an X-rated film where a women is beaten is real, not staged. This leads Peter and his wife Ellie to check out the Calliope Kinema Club, a trendy venue for soft-core porn in an otherwise proper and well-to-do neighborhood.
Sergeant Wield already has the place under surveillance, due to neighborhood complaints and scandalized locals, but Wield and Pascoe's Boss Superintendant Dalziel is skeptical that anyone is guilty of anything more than voyeurism until an indisputable murder turns up the heat.
The books are labeled the Dalziel and Pascoe books, but I always think of them as the Peter Pascoe / Ellie Pascoe / Edgar Wield / Andy Dalziel books, and all four characters get to shine in this one. Not as innovative as most of the later books in the series, but still an excellent police procedural, and well as showing much of the sly humor and characterization that makes Hill's books such a delight.
4.0 out of 5 stars A solid, satisfying Dalziel/Pasco adventure,

My copy of A Pinch of Snuff is a 21st printing; this book must be really popular. Reginald Hill's long-running Dalziel/Pasco series never fails to deliver a fine story. Detective Inspector Dalziel allows Detective Sergeant Peter Pasco to look into a report that the beating of an actress in a porn film appears to have been the real thing. Another case's investigation begins to overlap this one, and through step-by-step detective work, the story unfolds.
I enjoyed the story; it's hard to find a better British police procedural than those of Reginald Hill. I don't normally like or read British police procedurals, but Hill's in a class by himself. Read this one and whatever you do, don't miss his later books in this series. On Beulah Height, for instance, is a true masterpiece.
