First eliminate all vacuum or air leaks in the system. You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.

XMLHttpRequest messes up responseText

I'm having a problem using the XMLHttpRequest to retrieve data from the server. When accessing the responseText of a certain resource, a character that I use for indenting is not recognized by either IE or Firefox and gets replaced with "?" (or in Firefox's case a ? on a black diamond). When the resource is accessed directly through the browser, it displays fine.
Here's where it gets more confusing:
The resource is actually a
which does an XSL transformation on a JDom XML document and returns the result. The character causing trouble is " 160;" in the stylesheet. But if I print out the entity directly in a
page, XMLHttpRequest returns it properly. The problem only happens if the entity is put into an JDom document through an XSL transformation, and then the
version of that document is returned through the XMLHttpRequest.
Again, if I access the resource directly, there are no "?"s.
I have to use " 160;" instead of "& nbsp;" because the latter is not recognized by the XSL transformer.
Thank you in advance for any help,

Could it be the character encoding of the page are yo setting a doc type declaration?
Have you tried other escaped sequences and see if they appear right?
I am able to run a basic example and it is appearing correctly.

I've tried "& amp;", and it appears correctly. Well actually I was trying to build "& nbsp;" by putting "& #38;nbsp;" in the stylesheet, but what came out was " " in the HTML, and showed up in the browser as the literal characters " ".
I don't think its the encoding because I don't have a doctype (or anything similar) in either the XMLHttpRequest using page or the server-side include (<jsp:include>
page, and the latter one works, while the former one displays ?'s.
And like I said, when the resource is a JSP page that that has nothing but
<% out.println("& #160; & #160"); %>
that works perfectly with XMLHttpRequest. But what I have is more along the lines of
<% Document d = new Document("doc.xml"); JDOMSource source = new JDOMSource(d); JDOMResult result = new JDOMResult(); Transformer t = new Transformer("stylesheet.xsl"); t.transform(source, result); Format format = Format.getPrettyFormat(); format.setExpandEmptyElements(true); format.setOmitDeclaration(true); XMLOutputter xout = new XMLOutputter(format); String xml1 = xout.outputString(result.getResult()); out.println(xml1); %>
Though it's a bit more involved and is inside a servlet instead of JSP page.
So somehow during the transformation, the "& #160;" in the stylesheet.xsl is changed into something else, just like "& #38;" is changed into "& amp;".
When I print out the result of the transformation on the server-side, the character is actually '�'.
But that seems to
cause a problem when the servlet output is retrieved using the XMLHttpRequest object. When the browser accesses the servlet directly by putting the it's URL mapping into the location bar, the indentation works fine, not a '?' in sight.
I really don't know what's going on.

All right, I solved the problem in my case by telling the JDom Format object I was using to escape all characters that could be escaped. Now everything indents properly even with XMLHttpRequest.
I'm still curious though why HTML returned through XMLHttpRequest's responseText would ever be different from the HTML taken directly from the resource.
I agree. Here's the link:

(For a hot process oatmeal & honey soap recipe, click HERE.)
Not long after my children went on a gluten free diet, they came down with chicken pox. It sounds silly, but I couldn't stop dwelling on the sad fact that I couldn't use the traditional oatmeal baths and lotions and such that are so helpful for itchy skin afflictions.
As soon as I learned how, I determined I'd make my own skin-soothing oatmeal & honey soap free of gluten, dairy and soy. This recipe is the product of that quest!

Oatmeal & Honey Soap
(5 lb mold version)
- 16 ounces coconut oil
- 40 ounces olive oil
- 16-21 ounces distilled water (I use around 18 or 19 oz)
- 7.86 ounces lye (sodium hydroxide)
- At trace add: 1 tablespoons ground oats, 1/2 tablespoon honey, plus an extra tablespoon of your preferred oil or butter (I like using half tablespoon of rosehip seed oil and half a tablespoon of meadowfoam seed oil)
- Optional: At trace add about 10 drops of tea tree oil & 15 drops lavender essential oil
You can buy most of the ingredients needed for this at Mountain Rose Herbs or Bramble Berry. Your local health or grocery store may have suitable oils on hand too. I buy lye from my local Tractor Supply store or Amazon.com.
Note: Soaps containing honey do not need to be insulated or covered. If you see a crack forming across the top, that means the soap is getting too hot in the mold. If that happens, move the mold to a cooler place (or even your refrigerator) for several hours to help.
Instructions for making soap can be found in my post Soap Making 101. I also recommend my ebook: Natural Soap Making: Cold Process Basics & Recipes, for more in-depth information, details on coloring soaps naturally, how to read a calculator, 25 of my favorite palm-free recipes, and more!

There seems to be two schools of thought around banging a robot. There is the first school of thought, which is loosely defined as "What the fuck is wrong with you? You're a freak, you want to fuck a robot?"
There there is the second school of thought which is "Wow that would be awesome. I could keep something that looks like a hot chick in my closet and have sex with it whenever I want? Sweet!"
A survey conducted by the University of Middlesex asked 2,000 people their thoughts on a range of robot-related questions, roughly one in six respondents were totally in to it and said they would "have sex with an android," and another one in three were okay with others banging robots, even though they didn't want to do so themselves. But about four in 10 found the whole thing rather nasty, and another 14% thought robots should not be used for sex.… Read the rest

Dean of Constantine,
I am not negative the properties or the growth profile of the production ,the grades or the resource discovered and yet to be announced. I am not negative the geologists or MeGaw's performance and what he has brought to AUN when Lenic did not even understand what a CRD was.I am excited about the Tosca additions and whether we can control Red Hills.I am not negative silver or the prospects for it being at least revalued to resemble some historic levels between $150-$400 oz within a few years time-and how that will allow AUN to be a superstar amongst silver producers.
AUN are ,right now,on the cusp of quadrupling or quintupling annualised production within a calender year or so.The resource at both projects will continue to grow and so AUN will,I will guess,have up to half a billion oz of silver equivelant between the two projects when all is said and done.
If you ever read this board I have been a screaming AUN positive guy for five or six years now.I did my very best to only write positives and I disregarded negatives,some of which I felt were not so ethical in nature.
But something happened when Lenic started financing the company as the CEO/Pres..A lot of what Lenic did I can understand if I have the story correct.Poindexter apparently had a right to Shafter's land if the historic mine did not go into production by end of 2012.Poindexter used the water issues to thwart AUN's right to the mine under the contract\s specified time frame.
In many ways Lenic is to be commended as he accomplished a significant goal that he had to learn as he went along.Not many know that story.
Lenic did flounder in a role that he is really not qualifed for,and that is to assemble a mining staff capable of meeting the prior board's goals that were set out years in advance for him to execute.Instead ,it appears he no longer had the board that carried AUN when he was just a director based on being a middleman fund raiser.
He also began to record some public speaking tasks accompanied by ,shall we say,conduct not befitting a man of his position.
Considering that AUN did a correction based on topping out in October the fall was somewhat orderly.However,the short community took AUN down disproportionate to other miners as we are now near a 50% retrace in only four months time.Then came the news that Lenic has gone against what I recoreded was the public company record of only one year ago and has proposed a roll back.To me,this is unacceptable for many reasons and I have listed them,as have many others here.
You may view the record as only negative ,Dean.A lot has been done exceedingly positive but that is not the seventy cent /567 million share story.
In some ways as the sp has faltered under Lenic and asnhe has not met the company's time lines being 1.5 years behind AUN's 1,500 tpd schedule some of the damage is understandable.Not 50% in a few months time and this sp is not befitting the 5 million annualised oz eq that AUN will enter within weeks.
Much of what you read as being negative from myself and other posters is Lenic's speaking record.He has a tendancy to promise and not deliver since taking Shafter on.He has been vague on facts of company specifics in conference calls and in one ,told an investor to sell his shares if he did not like the story.The shares plunged that day.
Lenic has a record of reaching to the point that he appears to have lied on occasion.Twice that I have recorded.I long ago asked the company to comment upon this and they have been silent.It is public record.
So,at seventy cents and a rollback of 80% of your shares so Lenic can now go on and meet some agenda to list in New York (when he had years to devise a plan to utilise the massive cashflow that is now to come in to his hands to reward his shareholders,instead) is unacceptable to me.
Please don't point your finger at me,Dean.I am not the only one pointing out negatives with Lenic and some of what retailers find unnaceptable and distasteful.Perhaps I give better explanations and you now have yours.Please do not point a finger at me and do not ask again for any explanations from me.
Over 90% of 130 + AUN investors polled here voted for NO ROLLBACK so you are either in denial of the majority's wishes of mgmt. and are now very disappointed or you have not checked the share price for the reality check.
I would like Lenic to step down from his present capacity for the damage he has done to the company.He has been adequately compensated for the many good things he has given us.He has not represented us in a manner in which most respect and expect and is not fully able to understand what it is that retail shareholders here wanted,requested and require in this market.
The projects and the company will prosper and have yet to but will outperform no matter what transpires. If the rollback goes ahead I will accept it and only speak negatives when the record is there to have to speak it.
However,the market has spoken at .70 and it is not any retail shareholder that did the damage to this company's sp.Lenic and his directors have not protected the sp from shorts and/or created conditions to have the company's image and credibility usurp the dilution. There have been significant issues since the dilution was created that provided these conditions and now a rollback eliminates mgmt dilution but can not improve upon the public record that is there for all to see and remember.
I will stay with the company in a more limited fashion but this is based on what I see as the strength of silver going forward,AUN production and it's immediate growth trajectory.
As the rollback was just announced I have not had an opportunity to fully adjust my portfolio.As Lenic has refused to do as the market expects and desires I will also do some voting against Lenic and his decision.

Physical Activity Strategies for Improved Cognition: The Mind/body Connection
Fede, Marybeth H., Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators
Whether an administrator, faculty member, classroom teacher, or specials teacher (Art, Music, and Physical Education), everyone wants students test scores to improve and know that they contributed to it. These improved scores validate the roles and influence of educators and administrators. The purpose of this article is two-fold: 1) to assist school faculty and administration make the important connection between physical activity/movement and improved cognition, and attendance and a decrease in behavioral issues (Berg, 2010); 2) to provide strategies and techniques for classroom teachers and physical educators to understand the role physical activity/movement plays in the classroom and the gymnasium. Collaboration between these two groups is paramount. Physical activity/ movement should be recognized and utilized for its full potential benefits in both the classroom and gymnasium.
Physical Activity/Movement Defined
According to Blaydes (2000), there are three distinctions of movement that need to be addressed when reviewing brain research: 1) movement, 2) physical activity, and 3) exercise. Movement is the navigation of one's environment. Physical activity is any movement of the skeletal muscle that expends energy. Exercise is physical activity that is planned and repetitive, with an increase in physical fitness as the goal. The two aspects of movement that benefit learners most are physical fitness and the use of kinesthetic activities to anchor academic concepts resulting in cognitive reinforcement. According to Blaydes (2000), "movement prepares the brain for optimal learning" (p. 2).
Early research dealing with physical activity and cognition showed that physical activity enriches the learning environment; physical fitness is positively related to academic performance; and aerobic fitness aids cognition (Diamond, 1998; Gage, 1999; Gardner, 1983; Jensen, 1998). More recent research has documented the positive benefits physical activity/ movement and exercise have on cognition. In 2008, Ratey introduced the world to Spark." The New Revolutionary Science of Exercise and the Brain. He began prescribing various types of physical activity and exercise to his patients as treatment for everything from anxiety, stress, and depression to Alzheimer's disease. He also researched the effect of aerobic exercise on academic performance. With regular and prolonged aerobic activity, such as brisk walking or bike riding, new neurological pathways in the brain are created, which benefit young and old alike.
Movement differentiates instruction, increases retention, motivation, attention and engagement in the learning process, and should be utilized for its full potential benefits in both the classroom and in the gymnasium (Lengel & Kuczala, 2010; Ratey, 2008). NASPE released a position statement titled Physical Education is Critical to Educating the Whole Child, which states: "Research confirms that students perform better in school when they are emotionally and physically healthy. They miss fewer classes, are less likely to engage in risky or antisocial behavior, concentrate more and attain higher test scores" (NASPE, 2011, p. 1).
One out of every three children who were born in 2003 will develop type 2 diabetes (Olshansky, 2005). The combination of diet and physical activity can help improve the health of our youth and combat this disturbing trend. Providing students with high quality physical education and nutrition programs, however, is only the beginning in solving physical inactivity and the resulting hypokinetic diseases. Beyond the classroom, First Lady Michele Obama's Let's Move! campaign and AAHPERD's Let's Move in School initiative both aim to end childhood obesity and the onset of type 2 diabetes.
Exercise is also of extreme importance, as it improves learning on three levels: 1) it optimizes the mindset to improve alertness, attention, and motivation; 2) it prepares and encourages nerve cells to log in new information; and 3) it spurs the development of new nerve cells from stem cells in the hippocampus (Ratey, 2008). …

Chinese Zodiac
China and some East Asian countries use twelve animal signs to represent the 12 Year Lunar Cycle known as the Zodiac.
Representing each year, the Zodiac animals include the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Each animal represents the twelve Earthyl Branches by order and year. Therefore, everyone's birth year has a symbol of a zodiac animal that will cycle every 12 years for each of the 12 signs. According to China's historical records and literature, the earliest widespread full zodiac cycle began in the year of 27-97 A.D..
2015 is the Year of the Sheep and people under the sign of the sheep are tender, polite, filial, clever, and kind-hearted. Also, as the Year of the Sheep visits this Lunar Calendar, our sheep mascot will be available for purchase at Kempi Deli as the perfect gift for both the young and the old! Be quick before they are all gone!

AURORA, Colo. (AP) -- Navy officials say one of the people killed in a Colorado movie theater shooting was a Navy veteran.
Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Chris Servello says 26-year-old Jonathan T. Blunk of Aurora, Colo., served three tours of duty between 2004 and 2009.
Military officials have also identified two active service members, 27-year-old Navy sailor John Larimer of Crystal Lake, Ill. and 29-year-old Air Force Reservist Jesse Childress Thornton, Colo., as two the 12 victims.
Larimer was a Navy cryptologist at nearby Buckley Air Force Base. Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Jakuboski says four other sailors were at the theater, including one who was injured and treated at the scene.
Air Force officials say Childress was a cyber-systems operator based at Buckley. Another Air Force airman from the base was wounded during the shooting.

Atomsphere is perfect. Breakfast and dinner are not included if you are living in the cheapest room(3 euro extra). The only disappointed thing is that the female staff who was cooking eggs for dinner was quite rude when i asked her if i could have the eggs only without the potatoes as i was quite full at that time and did not want to waste food and then she just said "No. if you dont want, then dont take ". She may be the rudest staff i have ever meet. But overall, this hostel is very good.

Going to a Child Therapist with your child can be scary and stressful for both you and your child. You both are probably confused at your child's behavior or emotional reaction to life events. I am sure that you feel like you have talked to your child, at your child, and with others who are concerned about your child. You might feel that taking your child to see a therapist has a negative stigma, meaning that there is something wrong with you or your child. I assure that is far from the truth. Getting help from a Therapist is no worse than taking your child to the Doctor to get help getting rid of a virus. With that said there are still many questions that you should ask and wonder when looking for the Child Therapist to help your child.
How do I evaluate who is a qualified Child Therapist?
What does a Child Therapist do with my child?
Should My Child see a Therapist?
How do I know who is a qualified Child Therapist?
Make sure to consider a number of factors when searching for the right therapist for your child. Credentials along with the type of therapy and how your child responds to the therapist are some other factors to consider. A good first step is to ask the if they would be willing to do an initial phone consultation or brief meeting to see if they are the right fit for your child.
The following questions may be helpful when evaluating a potential Child Therapist.
Is the therapist licensed to practice in your state? (You can check with your state professional regulation or ask the therapist to see their license)
What type of experience does the therapist have?
How long has the therapist worked with children and adolescents?
Would your child find the therapist friendly?
Does the therapist include you or your family in the session?
What type of therapy does the therapist specialize in?
What are their credentials?
Child Therapist Credentials
There are several types of Credentials that a therapist can hold. Your child's therapist should hold a professional degree in the field of mental health (psychiatry, psychology, counseling, social work) and be licensed in your state. Psychiatrist, Psychologists, Clinical Counselors, Clinical Social Workers all diagnose and treat mental health disorders.
The following may be helpful in understanding the letters behind the name of your Child Therapist.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MD of DO) they have advanced training and experience in psychotherapy. They also have the ability to prescribe medication
Clinical Psychologists
Clinical psychologists (PsyD, PhD) are therapists who have a doctorate degree that includes advanced training in psychology. Many specialize in testing and evaluation. Psychologists do not prescribe medication.
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) has a master degree in counseling psychology with at least 3 years experience in the practice of clinical counseling therapy. A Clinical Professional Counselor is licensed in the state they practice.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) has a master degree in the study of sociology and has at least 3 years experience in the practice of clinical social work. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker is licensed in the state they practice.
With all of the above professionals you want to find someone who specializes in working with children. Look for the child therapist who has the right experience and most important who will have the best approach to connect with or help your child.
What Does a Child Therapist Do with My Child?
There are many different types of therapy that a professional can use to help your child. Many therapists choose the strategies that are appropriate for a particular problem. Child Therapists may use a variety of strategies, including:
Traditional Therapy
This type of therapy uses dialogue and evaluation to help the client come to personal realizations about areas of their behavior or emotions that need to be challenged or changed.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Focuses on the thought process of and individual. Activities used will help the client identify and change problematic behavior through assignments, homework and behavior modification.
Play Therapy
Play therapy enters into the child's expression of emotions and behaviors through play. Play Therapy uses play tools as the medium to help the child identify emotions, problem solve and develop new behaviors.
Should My Child see a Therapist?
Sometimes knowing when to take your child to see a child therapist is not clear. A child can suddenly seem withdrawn, worried, stressed, sulky or tearful. Other times significant life events, the death of a family member, friend, pet, divorce, a move, abuse, trauma, a parent leaving on military deployment, or a major illness in the family, can cause stress that might lead to problems with behavior, mood, sleep, appetite, and academic or social functioning. If you feel that your child might have an emotional or behavioral problem or needs help coping with a difficult life event, trust your parental instincts. And most likely if you are asking this question it would be a good idea to consult with a professional.
Signs that your child may benefit from Child Therapy include:
Developmental delay in speech, language, or toilet training.
Learning or attention problems (such as ADD or ADHD)
Behavior problems of excessive, anger, acting out, bedwetting or eating disorder
Being the victim of bullying or bullying other children
Significant drop in grades
Social withdrawal or isolation
Episodes of sadness, tearfulness, or depression..
Overly aggressive behavior of biting, kicking or hitting.
Mood swings
Insomnia or increased sleepiness
Sudden change in appetite (particularly in adolescents)
Development of an increase in physical complaints, like headache, stomach ache, not feeling well despite a normal physical exam by your child's doctor.
Excessive school absenteeism or tardiness. Signs of alcohol, drug, or other substance use.
Management of a serious, acute, or chronic illness
Problems with transitions following separation, divorce or relocation.
Bereavement issues
Custody evaluations
Following sexual physical, or emotional abuse or other traumatic events.
If your child is having difficulty with any of the above emotions or behaviors it is likely that they may benefit from seeing a therapist. Do not hesitate to seek Professional help. The longer you wait the harder it will be for your child and family to overcome the difficulty.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I get the feeling that the relatively inferior among us think great entrepreneurs such as Facebook's FB Mark Zuckerberg, Twitter and Square founder Jack Dorsey, Tesla Motors TSLA and PayPal founder Elon Musk and Pandora P founder and Chief Strategy Officer Tim Westergren are idiots.
We dog these guys relentlessly. Examples are endless. From Barrons no-respect and no-clue $15 price target on FB to people telling Jack how to run his ever-exploding businesses to folks claiming Tesla can't possibly have a future to the notion that Pandora is little more than a story of expensive content up against the relatively new mobile advertising space. First, as I explain in the video that accompanies this article (see Page Two) and in the closing paragraphs, there's so much more to Pandora than this surface-scratch easy "analysis." entrepreneur envy. That's all that fuels these misconceptions and misguided shots. If any of us accomplish a sliver's worth of what Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Musk and Westergren accomplished in the best 30 seconds of their lives in the 90 or so years we'll live, we've done something. So, stop hating. It might cost you money. Next month, in conjunction with Media 11:11, we'll debut short- and full-length episodes of TheBeach on TheStreet. These videos will focus primarily on the startups populating Southern California's startup scene in the Santa Monica-Venice corridor, widely known as "Silicon Beach."We'll be lucky enough to have, in addition to some interesting Silicon Beach startups, Tim Westergren join us in February as we launch the series. Going forward, I hope to have veteran success stories such as Westergren on to talk about the process of -- and the pain and suffering inherent in -- building not merely a company, but an idea, a passion, a vision from the ground up.
That's what Westergren did with the misunderstood Music Genome Project. In just over a decade, he took this sophisticated system that powers music discovery from conception to reality to private then public company. It's been an impressive run. And, if you talk to the guy for more than 12 seconds, you recognize he's not done yet. Guys like Westergren and the others who populate Pandora management and rank and file do not believe they have even come close to tapping the company's as well as the Music Genome Project's potential.A couple weeks ago, I promised I would overcome the meme-like objections bears make about Pandora's future viability. And I will. However, over the weekend, I attended a Social Distortion concert on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood. Walking along Sunset Boulevard past the legendary clubs and other relatively unknown venues got me thinking about something I have only briefly written about in the past -- Pandora's potential as a local music promoter and ticket seller. The Music Genome Project, in conjunction with Pandora's massive user base and treasure trove of thumbs up/thumbs down data, allows the company to target listeners on the basis of factors such as age, location and musical taste. It already uses this powerful capability to sell advertising and drive listeners to free shows. Don't expect it to happen overnight, but, at the same time, don't expect the company to stop where it is now.Do you really think an entrepreneur like Westergren is so freaking passive as to stake the entire business he built from nothing in a San Francisco apartment on a legislative decision a fickle Congress will ultimately shoot up or down? Again, give him and others like him more credit than that. They deserve it.Follow @rocco_thestreet --Written by Rocco Pendola in Santa Monica, Calif.

He used more then one lens later in his career. Usually a 35mm, instead of the 50mm. Don't think he went wider then that.
His early work used only a 50mm lens because that's what was available on the early Leica cameras. Once the system grew, he added an extra lens or two. Don't know if he every used a 90mm lens.

Guidewire, Mitchell Partner to Deliver Integrated Claims Workflow and Insight Leading Property/Casualty insurance software companies to help insurers create a state of the art claims environment for improved user and policyholder experience Business Wire SAN DIEGO & FOSTER CITY, Calif. -- September 3, 2013 Mitchell, and Guidewire Software, Inc. (NYSE: GWRE), leading solution providers to Property/Casualty (P/C) insurers, today announced their strategic alliance to co-develop an advanced level of integration between Guidewire's core claims management system and Mitchell's expert adjusting and workflow solutions in North America. The resulting unified claims environment will help insurers optimize claims workflow and improve decisions across the end-to-end claims process. Mitchell serves North American P/C insurers with claims outcome solutions for casualty claims (injury) and auto physical damage (APD). Adjusting APD claims requires managing repair estimates and repair shops, while casualty claims require review of medical bills and ensuring that treatments are legitimate and are paid at negotiated rates. Guidewire serves insurers globally with core system software integral to the claims management lifecycle. While Mitchell's and Guidewire's systems have been integrated on multiple implementations, claims professionals must still work in these systems separately. Deeper integration of workflow and data and the creation of a unified user interface between Guidewire's claims management system (Guidewire ClaimCenter®) and Mitchell's expert adjusting solutions will greatly simplify this process. "This is an important announcement. A deeper integration of Guidewire's ClaimCenter with Mitchell's suite of estimation and cost control solutions has the potential to deliver significant value to insurers," said Donald Light, Director, Americas, Property/Casualty Practice, Celent. "Both companies' increasing emphasis on data management, business intelligence, and analytics also makes this an initiative to watch." A unified, single-system view of the claims environment will enable insurers to: *Improve the efficiency and user experience of claims professionals; *Enhance overall service for policyholders; *Make better informed decisions; *Reduce the cost and complexity of their technology landscape; and *Streamline the claims workflow for more accurate, consistent, and cost-effective claims management. "Our mutual customers have expressed their wish for deeper integrations between our products and this relationship is the beginning of our commitment to them," said Alex Sun, president and chief executive officer, Mitchell. "I am inspired by the potential of what our work together can mean for the industry, as both companies share a vision to accelerate the pace of innovation for the P/C industry. Both organizations have great respect for the other's accomplishments and capabilities and have spent the better part of a year building to this point – with meaningful resources dedicated to this powerful and unique partnership." "Guidewire and Mitchell see an opportunity to advance the state of the art in claims management, to the clear benefit of both our insurer customers and their policyholders," said Marcus Ryu, chief executive officer, Guidewire Software.

I hate to completely ignore the next couple of days... so again here is the latest on what's happening for Thursday & Friday. Thursday will remain dry with periods of clouds and sunshine. Highs will probably strike the 40 degree mark or even slightly higher for some. The forecast for Friday night is starting to become a little more interesting. If this system takes a certain path then we will see some rain or rain/snow mix late in the day. Right now I will just keep the mention of rain/snow late! The other forecast issues come into play on Saturday morning and could stick around through Monday.
I am looking at two two general paths for the weekend big player! The other weaker disturbances will also drive some cold and snow into the area. I'll have more on that in a later on in this post!
WRF Fri PM GFS Fri PM
Canadian Fri Night
Both the GFS & WRF have this system getting closer and closer to the coast. The Canadian still has it out to sea a little bit. If plenty of moisture is in the cards for us then the closer to the coast that this low travels... the better our rain/snow chances will be. Even if it works farther inland we'll still have the wet possibilities. What we are looking at here also backs up what I mentioned about the wet weather beginning on Friday night.
The moisture you see to the north is one of those disturbances that I mentioned earlier. This will have some pretty cold air associated with it and will interact with the moisture quite nicely over Kentucky. There will be a few of these that ctually gets going and dips into our region.
WRF Sat AM GFS Sat AM
Canadian Sat AM
Pay close attention to the moisture from the northwest. It will be those systems that keep the snow chances alive through the weekend. Which is a very good set-up if you are waiting one one of those White Christmas forecasts. Which is something I will start detailing more next week!
If you are curious about what the model data is trying to say about accumulation... I'll show you the image, but I won't tell you which way I am leaning until Thursday night. I think you will be impressed! Just don't get caught up in the data.
WRF Thru Sunday Morning
GFS Thru Sunday Morning
Quite a lot to take in right? Remember a lot of this includes the snow that gets going from the NW disturbances!
I'll have more coming!
C-Ya Bye

Phil Neville scored the winning spot-kick as Everton sent holders Chelsea crashing out of the FA Cup on penalties after a pulsating fourth-round replay finished 1-1 following extra time.
Chelsea - who were bidding to become the first side in 125 years to win the competition three times in a row - appeared on course for victory when Frank Lampard made the breakthrough in the 104th minute after a 90-minute stalemate.
But Leighton Baines equalised dramatically in the final minute of the tie with a superb free-kick to set up the shootout and Everton triumphed 4-3 on penalties after Nicolas Anelka and Ashley Cole failed to score for the holders. The Merseysiders now face a home fifth-round tie with Reading while Chelsea's focus will switch to the UEFA Champions League, realistically their last chance of silverware this season.
"I knew I was going to score, I knew where the ball was going to go - and that's half the battle," former England international Neville told BBC radio. "We've been practising penalties all week. The manager just told us to hit them as hard as possible."
Neville said he hoped the win would revitalise Everton's challenge in the Premier League, where they are just three points above the relegation zone. "This could be the springboard for us," Neville said. "We've set the standard today and we must not drop below that. There is still plenty to play for in the league if we pull our socks up."
Ancelotti without Luiz, Torres
The defeat will do nothing to ease the pressure at Stamford Bridge, where Carlo Ancelotti's side have suffered a recent decline despite the arrival of Fernando Torres and David Luiz. With Torres cup-tied and David Luiz ineligible, having joined the club after the teams' first meeting, Ancelotti was forced to revert to the group of players that had guided Chelsea through the opening half of the season.
Torres' influence was still felt, however, with Ancelotti opting for a 4-3-3 formation in anticipation of the Spaniard's return against FC Copenhagen next week in the Champions League. In Torres' absence, Didier Drogba was partnered by Salomon Kalou - the scorer of Chelsea's equaliser in the first game - but it was the home side's rearguard that faced the greater test during a well-balanced first half.
Chelsea came closest to scoring when Everton centre-back Phil Jagielka inadvertently headed Lampard's free-kick against his own post. But the visitors' ambitions extended beyond simply keeping Chelsea at bay and with Baines finding space down the left, David Moyes's side created plenty of openings of their own.
Howard denies home side
Everton's Tim Howard was the busier of the two goalkeepers though, and the USA international had to be at his best to deny Florent Malouda twice in quick succession midway through the half. Chelsea beat Everton in the 2009 final and the Merseysiders' determined approach suggested the memory of the game still hurts.
Both sides were desperate for a confidence-boosting victory after struggling in recent weeks but it was noticeable that the visitors' tackles carried an extra snap. An already feisty tie acquired an extra edge moments before half-time when Ramires chased a pass into the box and went tumbling over Howard's arms as the goalkeeper slid out to meet the ball.
Chelsea were convinced they should have had a penalty but referee Phil Dowd felt otherwise, opting to book the Brazil midfielder for diving. The introduction of Michael Essien for the disappointing John Obi Mikel after the break gave Chelsea a more attacking look.
And their positive approach almost brought the desired result when Drogba came close with two half-chances. Chelsea would have had the game wrapped up mid-way through the second half but for Howard's superb reactions.
The goalkeeper's save from Lampard's close-range effort was outstanding and he immediately followed it up with a similar effort when Branislav Ivanovic connected with the resulting corner. Lampard finally made the breakthrough in the 104th minute, finishing from 12 yards, but Baines curled in a stunning free kick to set up the shoot-out.

Launch Into It by Alexa Monroy
Three months ago, when I started my fellowship, I was surprised that the main language spoken at the IDB is Spanish. It's as if a little piece of Latin America has been transplanted right into the middle of DC. This was a welcome surprise, since I hadn't worked in a Spanish-speaking setting since high school and I had forgotten how comfortable it felt. It struck me that sharing a language can sometimes be enough to feel at home.

Moulin Rouge & Clubs, Paris
31 Reviews
31 Reviews
Once I saw the price and availability I decided not to go, despite the fact I am a huge fan of the movie Moulin Rouge.
Take some pictures from the outside, buy a cheap print of it in the souvenir shop and check out the posters just outside outlining the history of the famous show, then be done with it.
Unique Suggestions: Go for dessert -- it's MUCH cheaper and you'll be glad you didn't spend the full fledge fare for dinner.
What would you call an attraction for wich you can book only online or through a tour operator ?
In the begining, the Moulin Rouge, built in 1889 by Joseph Oller, situated in the seedy area known as Pigalle (in fact boulevard de Clichy), not far from Montmartre presented the thrill of the "fruit defendu" : women showing their legs in an era where ankles were something "audacious".
It became widely known through the paintings from Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, like "La Goulue" in 1891. But that was more than an century ago and the cabaret has slowly gone down since.
There was a renewal in the 50's when Georges France, bought the Bal du Moulin Rouge and invited newcomer artists and stars like : Charles Trenet, Charles Aznavour, Line Renaud, Bourvil, Fernand Raynaud...but this also had an end.
Today, the Moulin Rouge is mostly a casino-type revue without a casino, draining busloads of tourists to an expensive dinner.
To be honnest : Moulin Rouge is not really bad, just as exciting as a matinee at Holliday on Ice.
Unique Suggestions: A good point : From the 31st of March 2004, it is forbidden to smoke inside the Moulin Rouge
Fun Alternatives: Rent a film !
6 films have been made about the Moulin Rouge, from 1926 to Baz Luhman's and have a good dinner.
As a fan of the movie and ever curious about topless dancers I was set on the MR experience. The show was ridiculous...an absolute waste of 80 Euro per person. It was also a waste of an evening. No matter what you have heard, I strongly discourage a visit here.
*Note: Photography is strongly prohibited inside. I snapped just one picture of a side wall before being admonished by a waiter and told that my camera would be taken if I took another picture.
Unique Suggestions: DRINK LOTS AND LOTS OF ALCOHOL
The streets surrounding the Lido and the Moulin Rouge are full of 'clubs' that feature hawkers to get you into the 'club'. What you need to know and what you aren't told until you are inside is that there is a 1 drink minimum. This doesn't sound to bad until you find out that a very weak Vodka Tonic cost 80USD. A Bourbon and Coke (not the good stuff, either) is 85USD. What a shock we had when we found out. You can't just get up and leave, either. They have 'bouncers' to prevent this. BE CAREFUL!
Unique Suggestions: There is no way. Just don't go!
Fun Alternatives: If you go to the Lido or to Moulin Rouge it's great! Just avoid the surrounding streets.
Very expensive drinks on offer while you wait for the show to begin. A tourist next to us paid £25 for a glass of coke!
Unique Suggestions: Worth seeing the show, but try to purchase a ticket that includes a drink. Ours included a half bottle of champagne (disguised as sparkling wine) and sip very very slowly.
Let me tell the story. As ther are lots of Tips in this story!!
I met one Japanese guy in the youth hostel. We wanted to see Moulin Rouge and found the place is very costly. (90 Euro PP)
So started walking down the lain and found lots of sex shops, live shows etc, etc, in the same road.
The place looks quite exciting and people outside those shops are virtually dragging you in to those shows.
One of those guys managed to convince us to have a look at their live show just for 20 EURO. "What the hell lets try this!!!!" and we are in.
Okay we ware inside and found two good-looking girls talking to us even without any invitation and the show was quite pearsonal. (Only two of us)
Then those girls asked whether they could have some drinks.
After 30 minutes we ware given a bill of 900 EUROs (they charged 200 EUR for a cocktail ) Obviously we did not have enough money on us so we ware taken to the counter buy one thugs looking guy.
They searched all over us and took all the money we had with us. (I lost around 20 more Euros and my friend lost around 30 Euros I guess)
Those guys managed get hold of my credit card and swiped it on the machine and managed to block some 500 odd Euros on My credit card for next 15 days. I declined signing those slips ( as the guy who took us tald us that we have to pay nothing except that 20 EUR ) did not pay that money. But that money was blocked for rest of my trip, which was very inconvenient.
Some how we managed to come out after loosing just about 200 Euros. But we learned very-good lesson.
Unique Suggestions: TIP.1 (mistake 1) don't show your friendly face to those people. If you are not planning to exploit those places Just shoo them away.
TIP.2 (mistake 2) don't go in unless you ate sure and that guys explains you.
A. What the show is like.
B. How they going to charge for "Talking !!" to those girls and what the cost of beverage inside.
TIP.4 Never carry all you money in to those Places. I still thank my self for that
Tip 3. (mistake 3). Never let them order anything for you. Ask for the price and service charges before you order anything.
TIP5. Don't keep your credit cards /debit cards on in usual places when you go in there. If you are planning to go to those places, be ready and hide your CC etc in some other place.
Dont be shy to ask the price of everything including for those girls siting next to you and explaining what the dance is .!!
The Lido on the Champs Elysées-- it is a huge tourist draw (note that their website is in French, English, and Japanese).
You can join with 1,099 other tourists and see a remarkable show-- remarkable in terms of lighting, stage technology, costumes, beautiful showgirls and showboys-- and pay a very healthy sum. The show without dinner, depending on the time and package, ranges from €70 to € 120. Dinner plus show will set you back from € 130 to € 170 per person.
Unique Suggestions: Is it worth it? Well, that depends. If you like Las Vegas shows, you'll be happy. If you want a little unique slice of French culture, you may be pleased. If you want a dazzling production in terms of sets, fountains, feathers, spangles... you'll be in seventh heaven. No question the dancers are talented, the bodies are beautiful...
Fun Alternatives: Having been there once, I have no desire to go back again. For the cost of this place, you can enjoy a wonderful meal. OK, maybe no feather boas, but GREAT food.
In addition to the Lido, there are several cabaret spectacles still surviving in Paris: Paradis Latin, Les Folies Bergere, the Crazy Horse Saloon... plus numerous lesser-known places. Each has its own style and personality-- for example, the Crazy Horse is much more bawdy and burlesque, whereas the Lido is elegance. And then of course there is the newly-famous Moulin Rouge. For a website that describes all these places, go to http://www.cofrase-cabarets.com/index.htm
Unique Suggestions: 1. Bring lots of money.
2. Expect to pay a fortune for drinks.
3. Don't expect great food (although it seems some places are bringing in some heavy-hitter chefs to try and up the food quality).
If you are going to the cabaret Moulin Rouge, don't take your photo or videocamera with you - you won't be let in. And... want to laugh? Know that the entrance doors of Moulin Rouge are made of glass and so clean that that glass is almost invisible. After the performance finished my friend was pacing too quickly and smashed against the closed doors with her nose. The nose swelled.
Moulin Rouge glorified by Nicole Kidman. If you want to see Las Vegas type entertainment in the heart of Pigalle, then this is for you. Sorry, but for the price you pay to get inside, it's just tacky and cheesy.
Unless you are intersted in watching a show, the area around the moulin rouge is definitely a tourist trap. First of all the building is quite tacky, and then there is the surrounding area: seedy, unassuming, dirty and full of sex-shops. Did i mention pickpockets? There are plenty of them too. Hold on to your handbag or wallet please.
Pigalle. I was expecting to see a cool red-light district, but Pigalle looked like a big tourist trap to me. I didn't go in the Moulin Rouge or any of the other establishments, so I can't really comment on them. Barkers lurk outside the clubs trying to get people to come inside - they're very persistent...not to mention annoying. Little stores sell dirty magazines and videos - very trite. Tour buses were all over the place too.
If u're a foreign traveler, please avoid the sex shops in Pigalle. It's an area in the 9th precinct but it's the most well-known place in Paris as a 'tourist trap'. I know what I'm talking bout cos I have to go through this area when I come back from work and there are many things that I've seen there!
Unless you are into Vegas style assault on senses..don't waste your money/time on Moulin rouge or Lido. Some body gave me this advice before leaving and I am glad I followed it (some guide books will say this too).
The saturday night, me and my friends going to Pigalle. There's a lot of bar there. In the street, there's a guy who play with a bill and we have to find where's is the bill. When we look the guy, it's look like very easy to find the bill but it's another things to do it. So my friend bet 200 francs and try to find where's the bill. No chance for them, they lost 200 francs. This is because this guy have a 'complice' in the street. Another guy who trick the table. So we lost 200 francs in this stupid thing.

Bristol-Myers Raised Offer 30% to Beat Competitor for Inhibitex
Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. increased its bid for Inhibitex Inc. and its experimental hepatitis C drug twice in five days, raising its offer 30 percent to top an unnamed competitor, according to a filing.
The courtship of Inhibitex began last October, with New York-based Bristol-Myers seeking to purchase Alpharetta, Georgia-based Inhibitex's experimental drug for $550 million, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Four months later, on Jan. 7, it had become a $2.5 billion agreement to buy Inhibitex for $26 a share.
The purchase was the second major acquisition of a company for its hepatitis C assets in the past three months. Drugmakers are seeking to enter a developing $20 billion market for hepatitis C medicines that are easier to use and more effective than existing therapies.
Bristol-Myers Chief Executive Officer Lamberto Andreotti was at the head of the negotiations for Inhibitex, going back and forth with an Inhibitex board member as the price went up, according to yesterday's regulatory filing.
"We did not have a nuke, and we wanted a nuke," Andreotti said at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, three days after the deal was announced.
The Inhibitex experimental drug, INX-189, is a nucleotide polymerase inhibitor, or "nuke," a pill that stops the hepatitis C virus from replicating. "It is the high unmet medical need in hepatitis C that has made us pursue very seriously the acquisition of Inhibitex," he said.
Patient Population
As many as 170 million people worldwide carry the virus, a bloodborne disease that can lead to liver cirrhosis and cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
Gilead Sciences Inc. purchased Pharmasset, the maker of an experimental hepatitis C drug, for $10.8 billion in a deal announced Nov. 21. The price was 94 percent higher than Pharmasset's 20-day trading average. The 126 percent premium paid by Bristol-Myers over Inhibitex's average price in the 20 days before the deal ranks as the second-largest on record for a biotechnology or pharmaceutical company worth more than $500 million, according to data compiled by Bloomberg since 1999.
Idenix Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Achillion Pharmaceuticals Inc. are also testing medicines against the virus. Shares of both companies have risen since the Bristol-Myers deal. Idenix has more than doubled in value, closing yesterday at $14.42. Achillion shares have increased 56 percent during the period to $12.37.
First Meeting
The Bristol-Myers deal was at least four months in the making, according to yesterday's filing. It started at Inhibitex's Georgia headquarters, with a two-day meeting between three Bristol-Myers executives and Russell Plumb, Inhibitex's CEO. Two weeks later, after a phone call on Nov. 3 from Bristol-Myers, Plumb had a $550 million offer for INX-189.
On Nov. 4, though, Inhibitex released data from a study that showed the drug "did well in reducing HCV in patients, and was well tolerated, with no serious side effects." The study results more than doubled Inhibitex's shares to $8.54.
Over the next month, what started as a look at INX-189 became a broader examination of all of Inibitex. Bristol-Myers examined the company's "other pipeline assets, its technology platform, and information regarding its discovery, and research and development capabilities" and was given access to "confidential non-public information related to its business and operations," according to the regulatory filing.
Competitor Emerges
On Dec. 5, Bristol-Myers Chief Financial Officer Charles Bancroft got a phone call from Credit Suisse Group AG, Inhibitex's bankers. Bancroft was told Inhibitex had an offer from another company to buy it outright and Bristol-Myers could make an offer, as well. The competitor wasn't identified in the filing.
Bristol-Myers's board took only a day to decide that an acquisition of Inhibitex was worth exploring, and four days before Christmas told Plumb they intended to make an offer. It came on Jan. 3, at $20 per share, almost double Inhibitex's stock price of $10.11 that day.
Less than 24 hours later, Inhibitex's bankers from Credit Suisse were back in touch, telling Bristol-Myers and their bankers at Citigroup Inc. that the rival also had bid $20. Bristol-Myers was given until 6 p.m. the next day to propose their "best and final" offer.
Raising the Bid
Andreotti decided to increase the offer to $23.50 in cash. He also reached out to Gabriele Cerrone, a board member of Inhibitex, e-mailing and calling him to work out the details.
It wasn't enough, yet. The other bidder matched Bristol-Myers's offer, the drugmaker's lawyers were told.
The Bristol-Myers board met Jan. 6. They voted to raise the bid to $26, and Andreotti called Cerrone to say the offer was the best they would get. Inhibitex was given until 2 p.m. the next day -- a Saturday -- to take the deal. If they didn't, Bristol-Myers would pull back its offer, and "actively pursue the transaction" at $23.50.
The news of the deal was released in a statement at 9:13 p.m. Jan. 7. "This acquisition represents an important investment in the long-term growth of the company," Andreotti said in announcing the purchase.
