Bowling Green welcomed in a new business on Saturday. Haripriya Kanuparthy opened the franchise called Kumon. It's a learning center that will be dedicated to giving kids at all levels an extra boost in reading and math skills.
Kanuparthy says after driving her son to Hendersonville, Tennessee for one and a half years to take part in the Kumon center there, she decided Bowling Green needed its own center.
The Kumon system was developed by Toru Kumon of Japan.
If you'd like to get more information about Kumon, you can log on to www.kumon.com or you can call 1-800-ABC-MATH.

Kate Humble and her husband, Ludo, have launched an ambitious plan to preserve a Monmouthshire farm and use its old buildings as a centre to teach rural skills and animal husbandry. Here Kate reports on their progress:
The queen is dead. And so is her entire, hardworking, loyal colony. We gazed mournfully into the guts of the hive. 'I did wonder whether it was varroa,' I said. Varroa is a mite that attacks honey bees. It is thought to have been introduced sometime in the early 1990s and has been responsible for decimating honey bee populations throughout the country ever since. Small, purple and voracious, it lays its eggs on the larvae of developing bees. A hive infested with varroa will have bees with barely formed wings. Unable to fly, they are unable to survive, and as varroa takes hold the colony will collapse. But my bees, apart from being dead, looked perfectly healthy. There were no signs of deformity. Nicola Bradmeare from Bees for Development, a charity based in our nearby town of Monmouth, picked up one of the dead bees and turned it over. 'Starvation,' she said. She showed me that the bee's tongue was sticking out, a sign that it had died looking for food. I was absolutely devastated.
I did a beekeeping course three years ago and have had a hive in the garden ever since. After the very cold winter of 2010/11, my neighbour Adam came up to help me do the first check of the year. The bees were alive but, Adam said, not looking very strong. 'Give them some extra food and leave them in peace,' he said. So I did as he advised. Despite being taught to check the hive weekly – to take out the frames and look for eggs and brood (larvae) which would tell me the queen was laying; to look for signs of varroa or diseases such as chalk brood; to watch out for queen cells, which might indicate the bees were threatening to swarm – I did none of those things.
I confess I missed my weekly contact with the bees, that exhilarating moment of taking off the roof, levering up the crown board with my hive tool and, with a gentle puff of smoke from my smoker, being allowed access to their busy, bustling world. But the bees didn't miss me and my slightly fumbling attempts to 'keep' them. They got on with being bees. The queen laid, the workers worked, the brood hatched, the colony grew. When I did open the hive in mid-August, the time when many beekeepers would be harvesting their honey, I hoped to find a restored, healthy colony, with enough honey stored to get them through the winter.
True enough, the colony was restored and every space in the hive was filled with wax comb and honey. I called Adam. 'They have done well,' he laughed. 'I didn't think you'd get any honey this year, but why not take half and leave them the rest. Their stores and some extra sugar syrup should see them through until the spring.'
Bees don't hibernate exactly, but during the winter the colony reduces and shuts down. The drones are kicked out and just a core of worker bees remain to look after the queen. The queen won't lay during the winter and the bees will tend to huddle together in the middle of the hive keeping warm, staying put, and living off their stores. Only when it starts to get warmer will they leave the hive and start to forage for food.
'That was the problem this winter,' Nicola said. 'It was so mild the bees were probably far more active than they've been the previous two winters. It was warm enough in January for them to leave the hive, but of course there would have been nothing for them to feed on, so they would have been even more dependent on stores within the hive, and there just wasn't enough.'
I've learnt a hard but valuable lesson. I've also discovered that it can be as beneficial not to intervene, as my colony proved last summer, as it can be detrimental. Bees for Development advocates a more hands-off approach, using top-bar hives that mimic a wild bee space and don't use frames like the traditional hive I have. With its help we are setting up an apiary at the farm with both types of hive to be able to show people two very different approaches to the fascinating world of beekeeping. But most importantly, we are planting areas of bee food, such as borage and phacelia, which will benefit not only the hive bees, but also other wild bees on the farm. I hope this will go some way to making amends.

Review site Yelp is no stranger to the court system; it has been sued many times by disgruntled small business owners upset over its business practices and authenticity of reviews. However, in an unusual turn of events, Yelp is the claimant this time around.
ABC News reported that the review site is suing a small law firm in San Diego, California, for allegedly posting fake reviews on its site.
In late August Yelp filed a lawsuit against McMillan Law Group, a bankruptcy and foreclosure defense law firm founded by attorney Julian McMillan. According to ABC News, the lawsuit states that employees of the San Diego law firm wrote fake positive reviews on the McMillan Law Group Yelp page.
Yelp is suing for supposed "breach of contract, intentional interference with contract, unfair competition, and false advertising." It is asking for more than $25,000.
However, McMillan denies the claims. He told ABC News that the lawsuit has "no merit," and that in fact Yelp's lawsuit against him was in response to the lawsuit he filed against Yelp.
McMillan sued Yelp in small claims court over an argument about advertising he had bought from Yelp. According to the McMillan Law Group website, the judge "likened them to the Mafia extorting protection money from small businesses." McMillan won, but Yelp appealed the case and the judge said it should go to arbitration.
But Yelp says its lawsuit against McMillan has nothing to do with the small claims court case. A Yelp spokeswoman told ABC News that the company is aggressively fighting business owners who try to deceive consumers by writing false reviews.
McMillan Law Group isn't the first company Yelp has sued for allegedly producing fake reviews. The review site has also sued BuyYelpReview.com, a company that provided businesses with fake reviews.

Ayman Abu Daoud Letter: Stand With Me
Al Qassam website (Ahrar) - The hunger striker prisoner Ayman Abu Daoud sent a letter to the liberated prisoners in "wafa Al-Ahrar deal" to stand with him in his escalatory steps to protest his continued detention.
The Ahrar director said that Ayman who was released by Wafa Al-Ahrar deal started a hunger strike yesterday in protest of re-sentencing his former prison's judgment, which is 36 years in prison.
Fuad Alkhuffash added that prisoner Ayman Abu Daoud decided to go on hunger striker as a result of the neglect of his case, and not paying any attention especially against the ex-detainees, and that Israeli didn't respect the terms of exchange deal.
Prisoner Abu Daoud was re-arrested on 13/2/2012 only few months after his release in the prisoners' exchange deal. He had served seven years of his 36-year sentence and the Israeli occupation authorities were adamant on forcing him to complete his 36-year sentence he decided to go on hunger strike as clear evidence of the violation against the liberated prisoners.

2012 predictions: 7. Baylor. Quarterback Nick Florence (pictured) already has one season as a starter back in 2009 and posted RG3-like numbers in his sole appearance last season against Texas Tech. A third consecutive bowl appearance is a realistic goal, especially if Oregon transfer Lache Seastrunk steps into the tailback spot and justifies all the hype that surrounded him.

Happy Earth Day – 22 April 2015!
I took this photo of a mural of Earth in downtown Belfast, Northern Ireland, during my visit with my boyfriend Eamonn in December 2014.
Belfast is a wonderful little city, and one of my favourite things about it was the amount of murals everywhere!
One of Turkey's most iconic buildings is Istanbul's magnificent Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya in Turkish), a one-time Greek Orthodox church turned into a Mosque and eventually converted into a museum over its 1500-year history.
The Hagia Sophia was an architectural masterpiece in the time it was built (532AD) and to this day it's still an impressive two-storey domed structure that has survived the test of time against wars, loots, and a number of natural disasters.
While the outside structure itself is not nearly as breath-taking as that of the nearby Blue Mosque, the inside of the Hagia Sophia is incredibly beautiful. The building maintains aspects of both the Christian and Islamic religions in a unison that is not seen anywhere else.
One of the greatest assets of the Hagia Sophia is its collection of mosaic murals, dating back to its many centuries as a church. While the mosaics were covered with white plaster after the building was taken over and converted into a mosque, extensive restoration work has seen many of the mosaics restored.
I visited the Hagia Sophia twice during my time in Istanbul and was able to appreciate the graciousness and history of this great building both as much on my second visit as I did the first time! If you visit, make sure to also check out the Sultan Tombs at the next-door Hagia Sophia Museum.
Love is in the Air.
This is possibly the most romantic street sign ever, a little piece of humour I found in the streets of Brussels, Belgium, during my trip in August 2013.
Happy Valentine's Day! And may you get as much action as this 'no entry' sign!
As I noted in my post about Brussels, one of the little surprises that I really enjoyed about Brussels were the murals depicting some of Belgium's Beloved Comic Strips.
I have learned since my visit that there is an official Comic Strip Route which includes 42 pieces in the centre of Brussels alone, plus a bunch of others in some of the city's suburbs… and I am almost tempted to go back to Brussels just to check it out!
On my post about Antwerp, Belgium, I referred a few times to a local legend about a giant: a legend that kept popping up in various parts of the city, and which is embraced by the city as part of its folklore.
Well, the legend, as it goes, is about a giant named Antigoon, who lived in Antwerp two thousand years ago. The giant built a fortress at the edge of the River Scheldt, and demanded passing boats to pay a toll. If the sailors were unwilling or unable to pay, the giant would cut off one of their hands, and throw it into the river.
Eventually, the giant was slain by a Roman warrior (Brabo), who proceeded to pay homage to the giant's victims, by cutting the giant's hand off, and throwing it into the River Scheldt.
The legend is meant to explain where the name of the city, Antwerpen, came from; in Flemish, "hand-werpen" means "throwing hands." The idea of Antigoon's hand, now sunk at the bottom of the river, also symbolizes that the river is now a free sailing zone, important as the city's port has been Antwerp's biggest source of revenue through its entire existence.
The Giant's legend is visible throughout the city: the Brabo Fountain outside City Hall in the Grote Markt, built in 1887, depicts the hero Brabo throwing the hand into the river; a sculpture of a giant's hand is found in Mair Street, the city's main shopping street; there is also a statue of a giant at the entrance to Het Steen, the city's fortress. Even more, the hand is even depicted in the city's coat of arms!
Last week I made my way over to the Tower of London to check out the World War One memorial poppies, a beautiful (free!) art installation running through the Summer and Autumn until November.
The exhibition, named Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, contains over 888,000 ceramic poppies, which are being "planted" in the Tower's moat over the summer. There will be one poppy for every British military casualty of the First World War.
One of the coolest parts of this installation is that it continues to evolve throughout the summer, as new poppies are planted every single day, continuously growing the display until all ceramic poppies are planted.
Throughout the summer, anyone is able to buy a poppy (for £25.00), which they'll receive as a keepsake once the installation comes to an end in November.
If you are in London, go check out Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, it's well worth the trip over!
I saw this Mayan Calendar, sculpted out of sand, during my recent visit to Playa del Carmen, in April 2013.
This sculpture was part of a new initiative by the city to offer more displays of public art. The artist who sculpted the calendar was in the process of creating another sculpture (which seemed to be multiple mayan people in a boat), but I had to leave Playa del Carmen before I got to see the finished product!
In December 2012, in commemoration of the end of the Mayan Calendar, the city of Playa del Carmen unveiled a beautiful bronze monument to commemorate a new era of light and prosperity. The structure, titled Portal Maya (Mayan Gateway), is the first of its kind in the small Caribbean city.
The monument, standing over 50 feet high, portrays a man and a woman, being pushed upwards by a spiral of wind and water, and holding hands. All around the spirals, the sculpture includes depictions of other elements important to the area including a jaguar, shells, people from the past and present, and two rings from the Mayan ball game.
The monument is visually striking, especially with the beach and turquoise waters of the sea in the background!
The 18th of May is International Museum Day, and to celebrate, here is a list of five of the top museums I've visited. I chose the museums below based on different merits, in order to avoid over-lapping in geographical areas or museum types.
1.Musée du Louvre – Paris, France
It really should be no surprise that the number one spot goes to the Louvre Museum, one of the world's biggest collections of international history artifacts, housed in a beautiful historic monument.
The Louvre receives over 8 million visitors every single year, making it the most visited museum in the world. With over 35 thousands artifacts from all through history, including some of the world's most valuable pieces of art (including Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa), the museum is impossible to cover on a single visit.
Aside from the significance of the items housed within the museum, the building of the Louvre is fantastic: from the 12th Century initial structure to the modern glass pyramid entrance built in 1989, the building is a work of art in itself.
2.Museo Nacional de Antropología – Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico's most-visited museum, the National Museum of Anthropology, opened in 1964 within the realms of Mexico City's famous Chapultepec Park. The museum contains one of the most impressive collections of pre-hispanic artifacts in all of Latin America, and is one of the world's most impressive museums of anthropology.
The architecture of the museum is impressive in itself: 23 exhibition halls surround an open-air patio covered by an enormous squared concrete 'umbrella' supported by a single column. From the 'umbrella,' a circular waterfall falls multiple metres down into a large pond in the courtyard.
The exhibition halls include archeological and anthropological artifacts from over 50 different pre-Hispanic cultures around Mexico, as well as post-Hispanic textiles and artifacts. Perhaps the most famous piece of history found at the museum is the "Stone of the Sun," known as the Aztec Calendar.
3.Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, USA
Popularly known as "The Met," the Metropolitan Museum of Art is the largest museum in the USA, and one of the largest collections of art in the world.
The main building of the Met (the one I visited) is located in New York City's Central Park. The museum contains an impressive amount of art from all over the world, separated into various halls, by geographical area.
The most dominant permanent exhibits at the Met represent Ancient Egypt, classical Rome and Greek sculptures, European art (including famous works of art by the Masters of the Renaissance), as well as a large collection of American art. There are also large permanent exhibits dedicated to Oceanic, Oriental, and Islamic art, as well as a significant amount of modern art.
The vast amount of art from so many different places in the world and different periods in time, make a visit to the Met entertaining. There is so much to see that it is virtually impossible to see everything in one go. Definitely a must visit place on any trip to New York City.
4.Musei Vaticani, Vatican City, Italy
Italy is home to many of the greatest art museums in the world, but one of the most impressive is the Vatican Museum, within the walls of the Vatican City.
My main reason for choosing this museum out of any other museum in Italy is because of the impact it had on me, due to a large concentration of incredible works of arts (both paintings and sculptures) packed within the walls of the museum. To make the experience even more overwhelming, the art pieces are housed within beautifully decorated rooms and halls that are as impressive as the art itself.
The halls of the Vatican museum allow visitors to move in one direction only (there are too many visitors to the relatively small museum, to allow otherwise), guiding them from room to room; the final part of the museum is the Sistine Chapel, with its famous wall and ceiling murals by Michelangelo.
The Sistine Chapel is much smaller than I imagined, and will be crowded in any visit; nevertheless, the mural paintings are beautiful. Even without the Sistine Chapel as a finale, the Vatican Museum is impressive, and well worth the 2-hour line up to enter.
5.Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington, New Zealand.
Located in the beautiful waterfront area in Wellington's Central Business District, Te Papa Tongarewa – Museum of New Zealand, is a great museum that delves into the history of New Zealand.
The Te Papa museum covers everything from the geographical formation of New Zealand, to Maori culture, to history, to modern life. There is also a large exhibition room teaching about New Zealand's endemic plants and animals, both those that have now become extinct, and others, like the iconic kiwi, which are still part of today's fauna.
Surprisingly, the Te Papa museum is free of charge, although a non-compulsory donation is recommended (and very well-earned). The museum Is well worth a visit to get a good introduction into everything related to New Zealand, in a short time!
International Museum Day is here, so let's celebrate the importance of museums to our education and understanding of other – and our own – cultures.
Which are your favourite museums?
Kitsilano, a neighbourhood located across False Creek south of Vancouver's downtown core, is home to Vanier Park.
I only discovered Vanier Park in 2012, after returning from Australia (despite having lived in Vancouver for 14 years now!). I always saw the park across the harbour from Sunset Beach in downtown, but never actually made the track over.
As I took biking as a hobby last summer, I visited Vanier a few times over the summer, and got to really fall in love with it. While there isn't a beach in Vainer Park, the park has a huge grass area perfect for playing sports, having picnics, or simply hanging out. The park also has amazing views of downtown Vancouver, and is home to some pretty cool museums, such as the Vancouver Space Centre, the Maritime Museum, and the Museum of Vancouver.
The park can easily be reached from downtown via a ferry from Yaletown right into the park, or by walking / biking along the False Creek seawall!
Below are some pictures I took during some of my adventures over to Vanier, so you can see why this park kind of stole my heart.
Cockatoo Island is a small island in the Sydney Harbour, which is easily accessible by a 20-minute ferry from Circular Quay.
The island is heritage listed due to its historic significance to the city, with visible remains from its past as both a penal colony and a shipbuilding dock over a period spanning almost two centuries.
After the docks at Cockatoo Island stopped producing ships, the island was uninhabited for a decade, before opening up to the public in 2007. The island makes for a great, unique day trip while in Sydney, and also hosts special events every so often. You can also opt to overnight at the island, by renting a tent!
During my time in Sydney in 2011, Cockatoo Island hosted an awesome event called "OUTPOST: Art from the Streets." OUTPOST celebrated the ingenuity of graffiti art, recycling, and even t-shirt design. The setting of the old buildings and tunnels in the island was perfect for such a unique art exhibit.
The show ran for five weeks in November and December 2011. Unfortunately, plans to hold a second instalment of the show in April 2013 have fallen through.
With or without OUTPOST, Cockatoo Island is still well worth a visit; to this day I praise this small island as being the top uncommon attraction in the city, and I recommend it to anyone planning to visit.
Below are some shots from OUTPOST, many in which you'll be able to appreciate why a visit to Cockatoo Island is worth taking a trip over.
One of the reasons why Kakadu National Park, in the Northern Territory of Australia, is so important to the country, is because of its extensive Aboriginal history. The history, both past and present, of Aborigines in the park, is also one of the main reasons why the 20,000 sq km park has been declared an important World Heritage Area.
Australian Aborigines are recognized as being one of the world's oldest cultures. In Kakadu National Park, Aborigines have continuously lived for a period between 40,000 and 50,000 years, including present day. There are various establishments specifically designated for Aborigines within the confines of Kakadu itself, many of which are off-limits to visitors (and non-Aborigine Australians), due to cultural and spiritual reasons.
Kakadu National Park is also home to the largest concentration of rock art in Australia, with many of the paintings dating multiple thousands of years back. Rock art has been traditionally painted for as long as the Aborigine culture has existed, and consists of paintings created using only four earth colours: red ochre, ochre, black, and white. The most extensive style of rock art found in Kakadu is often referred to as 'X-ray paintings,' as they depict humans and animals with detailed insides, as if they were under an x-ray.
Some of the rock art drawings depict day-to-day activities and guides (hunting, traditions, maps, etc), while others tell the story of mythological Aborigine legends. It is said however, that even the paintings that appear mundane are set in a higher realm of storytelling, in the era that Aborigines refer to as Dreamtime.
It is surprising that the paintings around Kakadu are still in such good conditions after multiple millennia, considering they are out in the open air. It's quite impressive to witness first hand art that is so ancient.
Kakadu National Park is located about a three-hour drive from Darwin, Australia. There are many tours which depart Darwin to visit Kakadu,or you can visit on your own. Be aware the park is HUGE, so you do need at least two days to visit, so you can get a good taste for it!

Article: Observation of a Neutral Charmoniumlike State Z_{c}(4025)^{0} in e^{+}e^{-}→(D^{*}D[over ¯]^{*})^{0}π^{0}[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report a study of the process e^{+}e^{-}→(D^{*}D[over ¯]^{*})^{0}π^{0} using e^{+}e^{-} collision data samples with integrated luminosities of 1092 pb^{-1} at sqrt[s]=4.23 GeV and 826 pb^{-1} at sqrt[s]=4.26 GeV collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. We observe a new neutral structure near the (D^{*}D[over ¯]^{*})^{0} mass threshold in the π^{0} recoil mass spectrum, which we denote as Z_{c}(4025)^{0}. Assuming a Breit-Wigner line shape, its pole mass and pole width are determined to be (4025.5_{-4.7}^{+2.0}±3.1) MeV/c^{2} and (23.0±6.0±1.0) MeV, respectively. The Born cross sections of e^{+}e^{-}→Z_{c}(4025)^{0}π^{0}→(D^{*}D[over ¯]^{*})^{0}π^{0} are measured to be (61.6±8.2±9.0) pb at sqrt[s]=4.23 GeV and (43.4±8.0±5.4) pb at sqrt[s]=4.26 GeV. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.Physical Review Letters 11/2015; 115(18):182002. DOI:10.1103/PhysRevLett.115.182002 · 7.51 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: From 2011 to 2014, the BESIII experiment collected about 5 fb$^{-1}$ data at center-of-mass energies around 4 GeV for the studies of the charmonium-like and higher excited charmonium states. By analyzing the di-muon process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow\gamma_{\rm ISR/FSR}\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$, the center-of-mass energies of the data samples are measured with a precision of 0.8 MeV. The center-of-mass energy is found to be stable for most of time during the data taking.

ABSTRACT: Using 2.92~fb$^{-1}$ of electron-positron annihilation data collected at $\sqrt{s} = 3.773$~GeV with the BESIII detector, we obtain the first measurements of the absolute branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(D^+ \to K^0_L e^+ \nu_e) = (4.481 \pm 0.027(\mathrm{stat.}) \pm 0.103(\mathrm{sys.}))\%$ and the $CP$ asymmetry $A_{CP}^{D^+ \to K^0_L e^+ \nu_e} = (-0.59 \pm 0.60(\mathrm{stat.}) \pm 1.48(\mathrm{sys.}))\%$. From the $D^+ \to K^0_L e^+ \nu_e$ differential decay rate distribution, the product of the hadronic form factor and the magnitude of the CKM matrix element, $f_{+}^{K}(0)|V_{cs}|$, is determined to be $0.728 \pm 0.006(\mathrm{stat.}) \pm 0.011(\mathrm{sys.})$. Using $|V_{cs}|$ from the SM constrained fit with the measured $f_{+}^{K}(0)|V_{cs}|$, $f_{+}^{K}(0) = 0.748 \pm 0.007(\mathrm{stat.}) \pm 0.012(\mathrm{sys.})$ is obtained, and utilizing the unquenched LQCD calculation for $f_{+}^{K}(0)$, $|V_{cs}| = 0.975 \pm 0.008(\mathrm{stat.}) \pm 0.015(\mathrm{sys.}) \pm 0.025(\mathrm{LQCD})$.
Article: Observation of a neutral structure near the $D\bar{D}^{*}$ mass threshold in $e^{+}e^{-}\to (D \bar{D}^*)^0\pi^0$ at $\sqrt{s}$ = 4.226 and 4.257 GeV[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A neutral structure in the $D\bar{D}^{*}$ system around the $D\bar{D}^{*}$ mass threshold is observed with a statistical significance greater than 10$\sigma$ in the processes $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow D^{+}D^{*-}\pi^{0}+c.c.$ and $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow D^{0}\bar{D}^{*0}\pi^{0}+c.c.$ at $\sqrt{s}$ = 4.226 and 4.257 GeV in the BESIII experiment. The structure is denoted as $Z_{c}(3885)^{0}$. Assuming the presence of a resonance, its pole mass and width are determined to be ($3885.7^{+4.3}_{-5.7}$(stat.)$\pm 8.4$(syst.))~MeV/$c^{2}$ and ($35^{+11}_{-12}$(stat.)$ \pm 15$(syst.))~MeV, respectively. The Born cross sections are measured to be $\sigma(e^{+}e^{-}\to Z_{c}(3885)^{0}\pi^{0}, Z_{c}(3885)^{0} \to D\bar{D}^{*})=(77 \pm 13$(stat.)$\pm 17$(syst.)) pb at 4.226 GeV and ($47 \pm 9$(stat.)$ \pm 10$(syst.)) pb at 4.257 GeV. The ratio of decay rates $\frac{\mathcal{B}({Z_{c}(3885)^{0} \to D^{+}D^{*-}+c.c.})}{\mathcal{B}({Z_{c}(3885)^{0} \to D^{0}\bar{D}^{*0}+c.c.})}$ is determined to be $0.96 \pm 0.18$(stat.)$\pm 0.12$(syst.), consistent with no isospin violation in the process $Z_{c}(3885)^{0}\to D\bar{D}^*$.

ABSTRACT: We report an observation of the process J/ψ→γX(1835)→γK_{S}^{0}K_{S}^{0}η at low K_{S}^{0}K_{S}^{0} mass with a statistical significance larger than 12.9σ using a data sample of 1.31×10^{9} J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector. In this region of phase space the K_{S}^{0}K_{S}^{0} system is dominantly produced through the f_{0}(980). By performing a partial wave analysis, we determine the spin parity of the X(1835) to be J^{PC}=0^{-+}. The mass and width of the observed X(1835) are 1844±9(stat)_{-25}^{+16}(syst) MeV/c^{2} and 192_{-17}^{+20}(stat)_{-43}^{+62}(syst) MeV, respectively, which are consistent with the results obtained by BESIII in the channel J/ψ→γπ^{+}π^{-}η^{'}.Physical Review Letters 09/2015; 115(9):091803. · 7.51 Impact Factor

Article: Confirmation of a charged charmoniumlike state $Z_c(3885)^{\mp}$ in $e^+e^-\to\pi^{\pm}(D\bar{D}^*)^\mp$ with double $D$ tag[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a study of the process $e^+e^-\to\pi^{\pm}(D\bar{D}^*)^{\mp}$ using data samples of 1092 pb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}=4.23$ GeV and 826 pb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}=4.26$ GeV collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. With full reconstruction of the $D$ meson pair and the bachelor $\pi^{\pm}$ in the final state, we confirm the existence of the charged structure $Z_c(3885)^{\mp}$ in the $(D\bar{D}^*)^{\mp}$ system in the two isospin processes $e^+e^-\to\pi^+D^0D^{*-}$ and $e^+e^-\to\pi^+D^-D^{*0}$. By performing a simultaneous fit, the statistical significance of $Zc(3885)^{\mp}$ signal is determined to be greater than 10$\sigma$, and its pole mass and width are measured to be $M_{\rm{pole}}$=(3881.7$\pm$1.6(stat.)$\pm$2.1(syst.)) MeV/$c^2$ and $\Gamma_{\rm{pole}}$=(26.6$\pm$2.0(stat.)$\pm$2.3(syst.)) MeV, respectively. The Born cross section times the $(D\bar{D}^*)^{\mp}$ branching fraction ($\sigma(e^+e^-\to\pi^{\pm}Z_{c}(3885)^{\mp}) \times Br(Z_{c}(3885)^{\mp}\to(D\bar{D}^*)^{\mp})$) is measured to be $(141.4\pm7.9(\text{stat.})\pm12.8(\text{syst.})) \text{pb}$ at $\sqrt{s}=4.23$ GeV and $(108.4\pm6.9(\text{stat.})\pm9.1(\text{syst.})) \text{pb}$ at $\sqrt{s}=4.26$ GeV. The polar angular distribution of the $\pi^{\pm}$-$Z_c(3885)^{\mp}$ system is consistent with the expectation of a quantum number assignment of $J^P=1^+$ for $Z_c(3885)^{\mp}$.

ABSTRACT: In an analysis of a 2.92~fb$^{-1}$ data sample taken at 3.773~GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider, we measure the absolute decay branching fractions to be $\mathcal B(D^0 \to K^-e^+\nu_e)=(3.505\pm 0.014 \pm 0.033)\%$ and $\mathcal B(D^0 \to \pi^-e^+\nu_e)=(0.295\pm 0.004\pm 0.003)\%$. From a study of the differential decay rates we obtain the products of hadronic form factor and the magnitude of the CKM matrix element $f_{+}^K(0)|V_{cs}|=0.7172\pm0.0025\pm 0.0035$ and $f_{+}^{\pi}(0)|V_{cd}|=0.1435\pm0.0018\pm 0.0009$. Combining these products with the values of $|V_{cs(d)}|$ from the SM constraint fit, we extract the hadronic form factors $f^K_+(0) = 0.7368\pm0.0026\pm 0.0036$ and $f^\pi_+(0) = 0.6372\pm0.0080\pm 0.0044$, and their ratio $f_+^{\pi}(0)/f_+^{K}(0)=0.8649\pm 0.0112\pm 0.0073$. These form factors and their ratio are used to test unquenched Lattice QCD calculations of the form factors and a light cone sum rule (LCSR) calculation of their ratio. The measured value of $f_+^{K(\pi)}(0) |V_{cs(d)}|$ and the lattice QCD value for $f^{K(\pi)}_+(0)$ are used to extract values of the CKM matrix elements of $|V_{cs}|=0.9601 \pm 0.0033 \pm 0.0047 \pm 0.0239$ and $|V_{cd}|=0.2155 \pm 0.0027 \pm 0.0014 \pm 0.0094$, where the third errors are due to the uncertainties in lattice QCD calculations of the form factors. Using the LCSR value for $f_+^\pi(0)/f_+^K(0)$, we determine the ratio $|V_{cd}|/|V_{cs}|=0.238\pm 0.004\pm 0.002\pm 0.011$, where the third error is from the uncertainty in the LCSR normalization. In addition, we measure form factor parameters for three different theoretical models that describe the weak hadronic charged currents for these two semileptonic decays. All of these measurements are the most precise to date.
Article: Measurement of the form factors in the decay $D^+ \to \omega e^+ \nu_{e}$ and search for the decay $D^+ \to \phi e^+ \nu_{e}$[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Using 2.92 fb$^{-1}$ of electron-positron annihilation data collected at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}= 3.773$ GeV with the BESIII detector, we present an improved measurement of the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(D^+ \to \omega e^+ \nu_{e}) = (1.63\pm0.11\pm0.08)\times 10^{-3}$. The parameters defining the corresponding hadronic form factor ratios at zero momentum transfer are determined for the first time, we measure them to be $r_V = 1.24\pm0.09\pm0.06$ and $r_2 = 1.06\pm0.15 \pm 0.05$. The first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. We also search for the decay $D^+ \to \phi e^+ \nu_{e}$. An improved upper limit $\mathcal{B}(D^+ \to \phi e^+ \nu_{e}) < 1.3 \times 10^{-5}$ is set at 90\% confidence level.
Article: Measurement of the $\mathrm e^+\mathrm e^-\rightarrow\mathrm\pi^+\mathrm\pi^-$ Cross Section between 600 and 900 MeV Using Initial State Radiation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We extract the $e^+e^-\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-$ cross section in the energy range between 600 and 900 MeV, exploiting the method of initial state radiation. A data set with an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ taken at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider is used. The cross section is measured with a systematic uncertainty of 0.9%. We extract the pion form factor $|F_\pi|^2$ as well as the contribution of the measured cross section to the leading order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to $(g-2)_\mu$. We find this value to be $a_\mu^{\pi\pi,\rm LO}(600-900\;\rm MeV) = (372.5 \pm 2.6_{\rm stat} \pm 3.4_{\rm sys})\cdot 10^{-10}$.
Article: Measurement of azimuthal asymmetries in inclusive charged dipion production in e + e − annihilations at √ s = 3.65 GeV[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present a measurement of the azimuthal asymmetries of two charged pions in the inclusive process $e^+e^-\rightarrow \pi\pi X$. These asymmetries can be attributed to the Collins fragmentation function, which describes the behavior of a hadron produced from a transversely polarized quark. This work is performed using a data set of 62 $\rm{pb}^{-1}$ at the center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=3.65$ GeV collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage rings, where the corresponding four-momentum transfer of the virtual photon, $Q^2$, is close to the energy scale of the existing semi-inclusive DIS experimental data. We observe a nonzero asymmetry, which increases with increasing pion momentum and also indicates a larger spin-dependent Collins effect than at higher energy scale. The dependence of the asymmetry on the transverse momentum of hadrons to the reference axis is also investigated. The measured asymmetries are important inputs for the global analysis of extracting the quark transversity distribution inside the nucleon, and are valuable to explore the energy evolution of the spin-dependent fragmentation function.

ABSTRACT: Based on a sample of \etapr mesons produced in the radiative decay $J/\psi\to\gamma\eta^{\prime}$ in $1.31\times 10^9$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, the decay $\eta^{\prime}\to\omega e^{+} e^{-}$ is observed for the first time, with a statistical significance of $8\sigma$. The branching fraction is measured to be $\mathcal{B}(\eta^{\prime}\to\omega e^{+} e^{-})=(1.97\pm0.34(\text{stat})\pm0.17(\text{syst}))\times10^{-4}$, which is in agreement with theoretical predictions. The branching fraction of $\eta^{\prime}\to\omega\gamma$ is also measured to be $(2.55\pm0.03(\text{stat})\pm0.16(\text{syst}))\times10^{-2}$, which is the most precise measurement to date, and the relative branching fraction $\frac{\mathcal{B}(\eta^{\prime}\to \omega e^{+}e^{-})}{\mathcal{B}(\eta^{\prime}\to \omega \gamma)}$ is determined to be $(7.71\pm1.34(\text{stat})\pm0.54(\text{syst}))\times10^{-3}$.

ABSTRACT: We report the observation of the X(3823) state in the process e^{+}e^{-}→π^{+}π^{-}X(3823)→π^{+}π^{-}γχ_{c1} with a statistical significance of 6.2σ, in data samples at center-of-mass energies sqrt[s]=4.230, 4.260, 4.360, 4.420, and 4.600 GeV collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII electron positron collider. The measured mass of the X(3823) state is (3821.7±1.3±0.7) MeV/c^{2}, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic, and the width is less than 16 MeV at the 90% confidence level. The products of the Born cross sections for e^{+}e^{-}→π^{+}π^{-}X(3823) and the branching ratio B[X(3823)→γχ_{c1,c2}] are also measured. These measurements are in good agreement with the assignment of the X(3823) state as the ψ(1 ^{3}D_{2}) charmonium state.Physical Review Letters 07/2015; 115(1):011803. · 7.51 Impact Factor
Article: Observation of a neutral charmoniumlike state $Z_c(4025)^0$ in $e^{+} e^{-} \to (D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{0} \pi^0$[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report a study of the process $e^{+} e^{-} \to (D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{0} \pi^0$ using $e^+e^-$ collision data samples with integrated luminosity of $1092 \rm{pb}^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}=4.23 \rm{GeV}$ and $826 \rm{pb}^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}=4.26 \rm{GeV}$ collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. We observe a new neutral structure near the $(D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{0}$ mass threshold in the $\pi^0$ recoil mass spectrum, which we denote as $Z_{c}(4025)^{0}$. Assuming a Breit-Wigner line shape, its pole mass and pole width are determined to be $(4025.5^{+2.0}_{-4.7}\pm3.1) \rm{MeV}/c^2$ and $(23.0\pm 6.0\pm 1.0) \rm{MeV}$, respectively. The statistical significance of the observation is $7.4\sigma$. The Born cross sections of $e^{+}e^{-}\to Z_{c}(4025)^{0} \pi^0\to (D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{0}\pi^0$ are measured to be $(61.6\pm8.2\pm9.0) \rm{pb}$ at $\sqrt{s}=4.23 \rm{GeV}$ and $(43.4\pm8.0\pm5.4) \rm{pb}$ at $\sqrt{s}=4.26 \rm{GeV}$. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.

ABSTRACT: The decay $Z_c(3900)^\pm\to\omega\pi^\pm$ is searched for using data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring at center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}=4.23$ and $4.26$~GeV. No significant signal for the $Z_c(3900)^\pm$ is found, and upper limits at the 90\% confidence level on the Born cross section for the process $e^+e^-\to Z_c(3900)^\pm\pi^\mp\to\omega\pi^+\pi^-$ are determined to be $0.26$ and $0.18$ pb at $\sqrt{s}=4.23$ and 4.26 GeV, respectively.
Article: Measurement of the branching fractions of $D_{s}^{+}\rightarrow \eta'X$ and $D_{s}^{+}\rightarrow \eta'\rho^{+}$ in $e^+e^-\to D^+_{s}D^-_{s}$[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We study $D_{s}^{+}$ decays to final states involving the $\eta'$ with a 482\,pb$^{-1}$ data sample collected at $\sqrt{s}$ = 4.009\,GeV with the \mbox{BESIII} detector at the BEPCII collider. We measure the branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(D^+_{s}\rightarrow \eta'X)$ = (8.8$\pm$1.8$\pm$0.5)\% and $\mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+}\rightarrow \eta'\rho^{+})$ = ($5.8\pm1.4\pm0.4$)\% where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. In addition, we estimate an upper limit on the non-resonant branching ratio $\mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+}\rightarrow \eta'\pi^+\pi^0)<5.1\%$ at the 90\% confidence level. Our results are consistent with CLEO's recent measurements and help to resolve the disagreement between the theoretical prediction and CLEO's previous measurement of $\mathcal{B}(D_{s}^{+}\rightarrow \eta'\rho^{+})$.Physics Letters B 06/2015; 750.

Article: Measurement of the Matrix Elements for the Decays $\eta \rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^0$ and $\eta/\eta^{\prime}\rightarrow\pi^0\pi^0\pi^0$[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Based on a sample of $1.31 \times 10^9$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, Dalitz plot analyses of selected 79,625 $\eta\rightarrow\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^0$ events, 33,908 $\eta\rightarrow\pi^0\pi^0\pi^0$ events and 1,888 $\eta^{\prime}\rightarrow\pi^0\pi^0\pi^0$ events are performed. The measured matrix elements of $\eta\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ are in reasonable agreement with previous measurements. The Dalitz plot slope parameters of $\eta\rightarrow\pi^0\pi^0\pi^0$ and $\eta^{\prime}\rightarrow\pi^0\pi^0\pi^0$ are determined to be $-0.055 \pm 0.014 \pm 0.004$ and $-0.640 \pm 0.046 \pm 0.047$, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. Both values are consistent with previous measurements, while the precision of the latter one is improved by a factor of three. Final state interactions are found to have an important role in those decays.
Article: Observation and Spin-Parity Determination of the $X(1835)$ in $J/\psi\rightarrow\gamma K^0_S K^0_S\eta$[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report an observation of the process $J/\psi\rightarrow\gamma X(1835)\rightarrow\gamma K^0_S K^0_S\eta$ at low $K^0_S K^0_S$ mass with a statistical significance larger than 12.9$\sigma$ using a data sample of $1.31 \times 10^{9}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector. In this region of phase space the $K^0_S K^0_S$ system is dominantly produced through the $f_0(980)$. By performing a partial wave analysis, we determine the spin-parity of the $X(1835)$ to be $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$. The mass and width of the observed $X(1835)$ are $1844\pm9(\text{stat})^{+16}_{-25}(\text{syst})$~\MeV~and $192^{+20}_{-17}(\text{stat})^{+62}_{-43}(\text{syst})$~MeV, respectively, which are consistent with the results obtained by BESIII in the channel $J/\psi\rightarrow\gamma\pi^+\pi^-\eta^{\prime}$.

ABSTRACT: An amplitude analysis of the $\pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ system produced in radiative $J/\psi$ decays is presented. In particular, a piecewise function that describes the dynamics of the $\pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ system is determined as a function of $M_{\pi^{0}\pi^{0}}$ from an analysis of the $(1.311\pm0.011)\times10^{9}$ $J/\psi$ decays collected by the BESIII detector. The goal of this analysis is to provide a description of the scalar and tensor components of the $\pi^0\pi^0$ system while making minimal assumptions about the properties or number of poles in the amplitude. Such a model-independent description allows one to integrate these results with other related results from complementary reactions in the development of phenomenological models, which can then be used to directly fit experimental data to obtain parameters of interest. The branching fraction of $J/\psi \to \gamma \pi^{0}\pi^{0}$ is determined to be $(1.15\pm0.05)\times10^{-3}$, where the uncertainty is systematic only and the statistical uncertainty is negligible.

If any of you have issues / problems with Facebook Fan Box Cache, or if you would like to suggest a feature, please do so in this topic.
Just wanted to say I'm loving it so far- page load times are great compared to the default like box facebook provides... Put on update 0.3b and it looks much better! Making a mental note to donate at some point... ;)
Thanks Aaron! Glad you like it. FYI - I added a donate link just for you!
Hey Donald,
I put on the latest version this morning, and look what's happening with the "Become a Fan" link on my homepage- http://hungerband.com/
I haven't had time to dig through the plugin code, but do you have any idea why it's being generated as such: "http://hungerband.com/target=_blank" instead of where the graphic properly links to (which is): "http://www.facebook.com/hungerband"
Let me know-
Well, that's embarrassing. :)
Apparently, I didn't account for fan pages that didn't have /pages/ in the url.
Your page, being http://www.facebook.com/hungarband, didn't match my regex looking for facebook.com/pages/*/*.
I've updated it, and it should now work out for you. If you update to 1.1 when it comes out, it'll work fine.
If you don't want to wait until the release is approved, you can fix the regex yourself. In the _parseHTML function, change
$urlExp = '/"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/(.*?)\/(.*?)"/';
$urlExp = '/
/';
Also change
$this->_url = $url[0]; to
$this->_url = $url[1];
Sorry about that. I'll get the fix pushed live asap.
oops - you'll also have to change a couple other lines, adding double quotes around
$vars['url'] in two places. Probably better to just wait unless your comfortable with doing that.
That makes sense because I just updated to a custom Page domain last night. I thought it had to do with your update, but it had to do with that I guess... (Facebook allows custom page domains after you get 25 fans or more, btw).
I am pretty comfortable editing php, but I'll wait for the official update... no big rush.
Thanks again- glad I could help find a bug!
Excellent! THRILLED to finally find a FB fanbox plugin that works with Display Widgets so that I can control what pages the box appears.
Just a small problem. I've got the number of connections set to 8 but only 6 are showing up. Could it have to do with some randomization issue? I've currently only got 9 fans listed so far (just create the page last night) so there aren't a lot to pull from.
@peteratomic - glad you like it. That was one of the problems I was facing and one of the reasons I created it.
Your issue could be the size of your div container for the fanbox being set too small. Check the HTML and count the actual number of connections it's showing. (I use http://www.getfirebug.com and Firefox for that sort of stuff.)
What's your site? I could take a look when I get a chance.
It looks like one more person "liked" the page, so now there are seven people filling eight potential slots. (Yesterday it was six filling eight potential slots.)
That's why I thought there might be a bug with the randomization or something.
Thanks for the quick reply!
I went ahead and "liked" your page, and now I'm in there, rounding out the 8. Interesting. Being that I get the original iframe via cURL, and then just regex over it to get the info out that I need, there's really only two options:
1. Facebook limits the number of fans that can be shown in a fanbox for pages that have less than X. (somewhat unlikely)
2. A problem with my regex that reveals itself when used on a fan page that has less than X. (highly likely)
Let me look into it.
So, I looked into it, and it's actually a problem with facebook.
If you look at your regular iframe fanbox url ( http://www.facebook.com/plugins/fan.php?connections=8&id=170388796337902&locale=en_US&stream=false&width=255 ) you'll see what I mean.
Notice how the URL says to show 8 and the fanbox only shows 7? Apparently, there's a limit on facebook's side that causes this. Sorry it wasn't something I did, then there's the potential that I could fix it. But not this. :(
I went ahead and "liked" your page again, so it shows the 8 on your site. :) (yay - I CAN do something!)
what? bugs in the most popular internet service in the world? I can't believe it! (when will we ever have sarcasm in text... I long for the day)
thanks Mr Grape for the excellent customer support. I sincerely hope to make a fat donation, as soon as I pay my server bill!
I am trying to use the widget. What is the Fanbox ID?
Hi Donald,
I really like the idea of this plugin. But I place great value on a well-looking layout. I'm sorry to say that your plugin looks quite boring.
I'd love, if you implement a more facebook-like layout (like this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-fb-fan-box/).
@hnaparst - Your Fanbox ID can be found in your Facebook fanpage url. It is the part after /pages/PAGE-NAME/###########/ . Those numbers are your ID. If you are using a custom page name for you page, then I don't have an "easy" way to get it for you. However, I am working on a tool that will take care of it for you, and will implement it soon.
@jackfuture - That's precisely why I coded it the way I did. I made it as plane-jane as possible and even added the option to disable all inline CSS so that people concerned with the way it looks can put in their own styling via style.css. However, if the need is great, I'll consider adding the ability for "themes" selection in the admin panel. With options like "Facebook Style", "Clean & Crisp", or "Blank Slate"
@Donald: Thanks for your reply.
OK, I didn't know the possibilities resulting from the option disabling inline CSS. But not everybody is an expert in CSS-coding, so this theme-option would be really great! :) It will be definitely the best facebook fanbox widget then.
hi donald, i get this error trying to activate:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/content/B/2/8/B2885796/html/wp/wp-content/plugins/facebook-fan-box-cache/facebook-fan-box-cache.php on line 128
the server is running PHP Version 4.4.9
blah sorry... just saw this in the readme.
"This plugin requires PHP5 and cURL to be enabled on your server."
Exactly what I was going to point out. The reason I did this is because WP 3.1+ is going to be PHP5+ only.
Hey, this plugin is the best idea I've ever seen regarding to the really annoying loading times of the fanbox... UNfortunately it doesn't work for me :(
I get this error on my page when I activate the widget:
Warning: file_put_contents(/###/#####/#####/wp-content/plugins/facebook-fan-box-cache/cache/fanbox.tmp.html) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /###/#####/#####/wp-content/plugins/facebook-fan-box-cache/facebook-fan-box-cache.php on line 175

how come? I really would love to use this!
@christianslater - that usually means that PHP isn't running under the same account as the hosting account, or for some other reason doesn't have sufficient privileges to use that cache directory.
This can be easily solved by accessing your account via FTP and changing the permissions on the cache folder to 777, thus allowing PHP permission to write to it and read from it.
If you aren't able to access and change permissions via FTP, you could possibly request your web host to "allow PHP to write to the /###/#####/#####/wp-content/plugins/facebook-fan-box-cache/cache/" directory.
Hey Donald, thank you for your quick reply. I changed the permission of the cache Folder to 777 but then I get this error on my front homepage:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message '22: The requested URL returned error: 404' in /###/#####/#######/wp-content/plugins/facebook-fan-box-cache/facebook-fan-box-cache.php:170 Stack trace: #0 /###/#####/#######/wp-content/plugins/facebook-fan-box-cache/facebook-fan-box-cache.php(143): EE_FB_Fanbox_Cache->_getHTML() #1 /###/#####/#######/wp-content/plugins/facebook-fan-box-cache/facebook-fan-box-cache.php(120): EE_FB_Fanbox_Cache->__construct('', '', '', '', NULL) #2 /###/#####/#######/wp-content/plugins/facebook-fan-box-cache/facebook-fan-box-cache.php(313): ee_fb_shortcode() #3 /###/#####/#######/wp-includes/widgets.php(182): EE_FB_Fanbox_Cache_Widget->widget(Array) #4 /###/#####/#######/wp-includes/widgets.php(891): WP_Widget->display_callback(Array, Array) #5 /###/#####/#######/wp-content/themes/avid2011/template-home.php(58): dynamic_sidebar() #6 /###/#####/#######/wp-includes/template-loader.php(43): include('/www/htdocs/v07...') #7 /###/#####/#######/wp-blog-header.php(16): require_once( in /###/#####/#######/wp-content/plugins/facebook-fan-box-cache/facebook-fan-box-cache.php on line 170
That means that cURL is not able to access the URL of the fan page iframe. It throws the error when $this->_html is empty or false. Do you have a custom URL for you fan page? Are you sure that you entered the ID correctly?
Is there a way to help you with translations? I could help you with german.
Btw, for those of you who have problems to get their facebook page id, because they've got a fanity url like http://facebook.com/whatever. Just open your page and look for the profile picture. The url to the picture will look like this...
...the 15 digit long number - in this case 182395928443149 - is the page id.
I really like what i see and hear. Unfortunately it doesn't work on my site, i just see the title of my widget. its is just a white space.
What am i doing wrong?
@chrissss - Danke! I knew that this would come up when the plugin got popular, but I'm sorry to admit that I don't have anything in place for language translation. I want to for sure, but I don't know where to start. Can you point me in the right direction? (I'll start searching the Codex.)
Also, thanks for pointing out an easy way to find the page id for users you can't. I have another regex created that will search page source for the id, but I don't have it implemented yet. Maybe version 2.0 with IDFinder and Translations is in order?
@Jurg3n - what version of the plugin are you using?
I am using Version: 1.3.1 and wordpress 3.04
But i think i have solved my first problem, i try to make it work locally witch doesn`t work when i try it online i got it to work.
now i've got a next question i would like to show the latest couple of posts from my stream is this possible? and how?
@Jurg3n - I don't have streams enabled at this point. Although it is on the hitlist for version 2.0.
Here's the fully partial list: ( <- Not a typo :] )
1. Themes
2. Facebook IDFinder
3. Translations
4. Streams
If there's anything that anyone would like to see in v2.0, let me know. Feature requests are always welcome.

Good morning, and welcome to KeyCorp's First Quarter 2013 Earnings Conference Call. This call is being recorded. At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Ms. Beth Mooney, Chairman and CEO. Please go ahead.
Beth E. Mooney
Thank you, operator, and good morning, and let me add my welcome to KeyCorp's First Quarter 2013 Earnings Conference Call. Joining me for today's presentation is Jeff Weeden, our Chief Financial Officer. And available for the Q&A portion of the call are the leaders of Key Corporate Bank and Key Community Bank, Chris Gorman and Bill Koehler. Also joining us for the Q&A discussion, our Chief Risk Officer, Bill Hartmann; and our Treasurer, Joe Vayda.
Slide 2 is our statement on forward-looking disclosure and non-GAAP financial measures. It covers our presentation materials and comments, as well as the question-and-answer segment of our call today.
Slide 3 shows some of the highlights of our first quarter results. There are 3 important takeaways this quarter.
First, our business model is producing results and positions us well in the current environment and beyond.
Second, we are becoming a more efficient company, and our expense initiative continues to show traction and gain momentum.
And third, our shareholders are benefiting from our disciplined approach to capital management.
Let me start with our business model. In the current environment of economic uncertainty and excess liquidity, we are seeing more competition for lending opportunities. In some cases, this is leading to more aggressive behavior from competitors, be it on price, terms or other structural considerations. At Key, we have remained disciplined, and we are relying on our value-added, relationship-based approach to win new business, expand relationships with existing clients and generate robust fee income to go with our strong C&I performance. We are confident that we are well positioned to grow and take share in our targeted markets.
In the first quarter, average loan balances were up 6% from the same quarter last year. And within that, the exit portfolio continued to run off and average C&I loans grew 16%.
While our loan growth has been a positive story, we did see clients remain cautious in regards to the overall strength of the economy, particularly towards the end of the quarter.
Second, on efficiency. We continue to deliver on our commitment to reduce expenses and move our efficiency ratio to the 60% to 65% range. Through the first quarter, we have realized annualized run rate savings of $105 million against our targeted goal of $200 million in expense savings. It is our expectation that we will continue to incur costs related to our initiative, especially in the first half of the year, and we would expect this to impact our second quarter expense levels. Overall, our plans to deliver these savings are right on track, and by the first quarter of next year, we expect to be within our targeted efficiency range.
And it's important to note that this is not an endpoint, but an important milestone for Key. We are already working hard to identify new revenue and expense opportunities that can improve our efficiency ratio even further and deliver positive operating leverage.
And third, as we have said before, how we deploy our capital will be one of the most important decisions we make. As part of our disciplined approach to capital management, we have continued to actively manage our businesses to focus on our best growth opportunities. We also identify businesses that do not fit our relationship-based strategy and would not be the best place to continue to make ongoing investments.
And as an example, in the first quarter, we announced the sale of Victory Capital Management, and we are requesting a no objection from our regulators to return the net after-tax gain to our shareholders through share repurchase.
In addition to actively managing our business portfolio, we repurchased $65 million in common shares in the first quarter. And over the next 4 quarters, we expect to return a significant portion of our net income to shareholders through the capital actions we announced last month at the conclusion of the CCAR process. Our plan, which received no objection from the Federal Reserve, included a stock repurchase program of up to $426 million, which our board has approved, and a 10% increase in the quarterly common stock dividend, which the board will consider at its regular May meeting.
Slide 4 highlights our 2013 priorities, which have been consistent areas of focus. They include continuing to leverage our business model, taking advantage of our competitive position in the market, improving our efficiency and remaining disciplined in the way we manage our capital. We believe that by executing on these priorities, we can continue to grow, take share and deliver long-term value to our shareholders.

<< Back to Stomachaches
I can't tell you how long I've had Celiac Disease...Seems like forever. Since turning 25 I had severe headaches then from there it progressed. My symptoms included anxiety, weight loss, diarrhea of course( 8-10) a day, numbness in hands, feet, face, sinus infections, so many I can't even imagine writing them all down. After moving to a new town, I did not transfer my medical records so when I saw a new doctor and told her of my history she sent me to see an internist. I never told her that I had all kinds of tests for various illnesses. I wanted them to be thorough. One appointment with the internist and several tests concluded that I had Celiac Disease. That was November 2006. I am now 3 months into the diet and just had a 2 weeks stretch of feeling really good. Today hasn't gone so well, but I may have ingested gluten. I see a naturopath and many of the supplements have helped.
I hope we can raise awareness so no one has to suffer.

I've known Dr. Mikazemi since he was an Intern practicing in a small community Hospital. He is always polit and well manner. Why I write to you people? I had Chicken Pox at age 28 and I had never seen a chicken pox patient. Every places that I have ever worked, I was always prevented to go to the patient's room. I remember very clear it was a friday that I broke with rashes all over me and I didn't know what it was. I called every ER and I was told not go there because no cure for Chicken Pox and it needs to go through its course. I called several offices to see anyone would see me and everyone gave me an appointment for two weeks ahead and told me to go to ER if it is life threatening. I was so frighten and I have no families and worried if my chicken pox spread to my lungs and with my asthma, what should I do? I have have seen patient being taking by helicopter transffered to U OF Mwhen chicken pox spread to their lungs at older age.I remember Dr Mirkazemi, I was lucky the day I called he was at the hospital. I explained to him my situations, I don't know what I have all over my body and no hospitals or doctors accepting me and I have a fear of dying in my apartment over the weekend.He did a house call and saved my life. I owe my life to him, his wife and his two beatiful childern.He is a true humanitrian and good hearted physician and you can't see this in today real world.Greatfully,Lida Roustaie, RN, BSN, RRT.
Is a wonderful and caring surgeon. Would refer him to anyone.
Once was too much!: I've only been to see Dr. Mirkazemi once and never again will I waste my time! I waited an hour and a half to be seen by him when there were no other patients in the office. He spent the hour and a half chatting with a drug rep in the
