In 1997, Congress asked the NICHD, through its Child Development and Behavior Branch, to work with the U.S. Department of Education (ED) in establishing a National Reading Panel that would evaluate existing research and evidence to find the best ways of teaching children to read.
The 14-member Panel included members from different backgrounds, including school administrators, working teachers, and scientists involved in reading research.
On April 13, 2000, the National Reading Panel concluded its work and submitted its final reports. The Panel has not been reconvened since that time and does not continue to work on this issue.
Specifically, Congress asked the Panel to:
In addition, the National Reading Panel held public hearings where people could give their opinions on what topics the panel should study.
The Panel considered roughly 100,000 reading studies published since 1966, and another 10,000 published before that time. From this pool, the Panel selected several hundred studies for its review and analysis.
The National Reading Panel's analysis made it clear that the best approach to reading instruction is one that incorporates:
The Panel found that a combination of techniques is effective for teaching children to read:
The findings of the National Reading Panel were highlighted in President George W. Bush's plan for improving education—the No Child Left Behind Act—signed in 2001.
The NICHD, the National Institute for Literacy, and the ED also united to form the Partnership for Reading, an effort to distribute evidence-based reading research—such as the findings of the National Reading Panel—to those who could benefit the most from it. The Partnership aimed to ensure that the methods of reading instruction used in the classroom reflect evidence-based methods, such as those put forth by the National Reading Panel. Publications developed under this partnership are still relevant and available despite termination of the National Institute for Literacy. Please see the More Information section below to access these publications.

President Barack Obama, in St. Paul on Wednesday, reiterated his vow he made earlier in his State of the Union address in January that he will take action when needed if Congress won't. "I'm just going to do what I can…" proclaimed Obama during a nearly 20-minute speech to an enthusiastic overflowing audience at the Union Depot in downtown St. Paul. Continue Reading →

BRISTOL — A two-year-old boy and three women were injured after a two-vehicle crash at C.R. 35 and S.R. 120, east of Bristol, late Monday night.
Brittany Wolcott, 25, of Middlebury, was driving an SUV northbound on C.R. 35 at approximately 11:19 p.m. when, according to a press release from the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department, she "disregarded the stop sign" and crashed into a car driven eastbound on S.R. 120 by Francisco Bravo, 25, of Middlebury.
Bravo was not injured, but his two passengers were. Barbara Lloyd, 42, of Middlebury, was taken to a hospital to be treated for a cut to her face. Jessica Lloyd, 22, of Middlebury, received knees and head pain but signed off on medical treatment.
Joshua Wolcott, 2, of Middlebury, complained of stomach pain and Brittany Wolcott complained of pain in her right foot, but signed off on medical treatment.
Both vehicles received heavy damage and had to be towed. Brittany Wolcott was cited for disregarding a stop sign, according to the press release.

Steph's Compassion Traveller experience:
Describe the trip in one sentence:
An amazing experience … I need to go back!
And at the moment I'm looking for a way to do it. No luck yet, but I'm sure my Lord will provide for me and something will come up. I can't do it by myself.
Most memorable moment:
I met my family's sponsored child in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Her name is Kini.
Kini was born without pulmonary arteries, the arteries that go between her heart and her lungs.
My Dad sponsored her after his last visit in 2006, so we had been sponsoring her for 18 months when I met her.
The doctors thought Kini would die within months when my Dad first met her, but because of her sponsorship she receives regular treatment and still lives!
What did Kini say to you when you met her?
Because of you I'm now alive.
How was your relationship with your Dad during the trip?
Our relationship was stretched … He was very protective of me and I wanted to have my independence.
Dads with teenage daughters know that teenage girls are emotional. Add to that I was away from friends and family.
But despite everything, I was happy I got to spend that time with him and make those lasting memories.
Tell me about your most impacting day …
It was Sunday, 1 February, at the Kali Temple in Kolkata, on my fourth day in India. It was a crowded place. I think thousands of people were coming to worship their gods. They had sacrificed 130 goats that morning, and there were remnants of the sacrifice lying everywhere. It freaked me out a bit.
As we were walking in the alley after leaving the temple, I had one of the shopkeepers come and grab my arm and try to lead me away from the group. Being tense already, I freaked out.
The man then looked over my shoulder and saw one of the guys in the team standing right behind me. My friend then stepped forward and put his arm around my waist. Seeing him, the man then let go of my arm and slunk back into his shop. What scared me the most was that no one else in our group had noticed the man.
How has your trip influenced your school life?
I just started my first week at a new school. So far I've shared my travelling experience with friends as well as with my year nine class in my self-introduction.
My class mates were really responsive, and my friends have been positive, too -– they've asked questions about the trip.
How has this trip influenced your relationship with God?
I grew up in a Christian home and have believed in God since I was seven. But before the trip I was wondering "Who is God and what is He doing?"
In India, I saw a stark contrast between kids who were sponsored and kids who weren't. Those who were sponsored weren't as thin and were happier.
I also took lots of pictures of kids praying before their meals … These kids would've only known God for a short time, but they have changed.
It fascinates me what God can do in these children's lives in such a short time. Seeing this has motivated me to walk closer with God.
Have you changed?
I look at the world differently. I'm more appreciative of … well … everything, really.
I compare things. Now I'm sitting in a nice cosy office with a shiny white board, but over in India and Bangladesh there are kids in the street picking up rubbish.
Seeing the state of these two countries broke my heart. Walking the streets, using the toilets, eating the food and most importantly, seeing the expressions and emotions on all the faces broke my heart.
I now find myself thinking of other people's life stories, problems, daily battles and life-changing moments. I think of all the people that I pass driving to school … their stories and problems.
Then I think of all the ones that go unheard, unanswered and the new challenges they face every day just to survive.
Would you recommend a trip to others?
Yes. The country staff were very good. It's a life-changing experience. So it's not to be missed!

Nine government watchdog organizations today asked Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich, as well as President Barack Obama, to reveal more details about fundraisers for their presidential campaigns who "bundle" contributions in amounts greatly exceeding what they're permitted to contribute on their own.
A joint project of the Campaign Finance Institute, American Enterprise Institute and the Brookings Institution today unveiled a new report, "Reform in an Age of Networked Campaigns: How to Foster Citizen Participation Through Small Donors and Volunteers."
Task Force
Public Funding
Small Donors
Contribution Limits
Eight government watchdog organizations today urged Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain to reveal more details about fundraisers for their presidential campaigns who "bundle" contributions in amounts greatly exceeding what they're permitted to contribute on their own, and to furnish additional data about their small donors.
Campaign Finance Institute
This joint Campaign Finance Institute-Public Citizen study of over 2,000 individuals reported to be raising contributions for the 2008 presidential candidates finds that 56 percent of the fundraisers came from just three segments of the U.S. economy: lawyers and law firms, three finance industries, and real estate.
CFI strongly supports Sen. Feinstein's (D-CA) appeal today to Sen. Ensign (R-NV) to pursue his unrelated amendment separately so that the Senate electronic filing bill can pass before this Congressional session concludes.
A single Senator, John Ensign (R-NV.) has been obstructing Senate passage of S. 223 providing for electronic disclosure and prompt Internet searchability of Senate campaign contributions. This bill, sponsored by Senators Russell Feingold (D-WI) and Thad Cochran (R-MS) and 39 other bipartisan Senators, has no public opposition.
This week federal candidates, parties and political committees are reporting on their fundraising for the 2008 election, and journalists are conveying the results to the public. But few stories are being written about Senate races because, alone among federal candidates and party committees, Senate ones are exempt from electronic filing of campaign finance reports.
Senator John Ensign (R-Nev.) is single-handedly stalling the enactment of legislation that would give voters in Senate races the same timely access to information in official campaign finance reports that voters in Presidential and House races already have.
On Monday evening, for the third time in six months, a lone Republican Senator objected to Senate Rules Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)'s motion to pass S. 223, the Senate electronic disclosure of campaign finance reports bill.
The Washington Times has added its voice to a long list of editorial boards calling for the Senate to pass electronic disclosure. The Campaign Finance Institute has urged the Senate to adopt this bill, S. 223. For CFI's coverage of this issue, click here.
The Washington Times
Here is today's Washington Post editorial on Senate electronic disclosure and anonymous holds. The Campaign Finance Institute has urged the Senate to adopt this bill, S. 223.
Washington Post
Last week the Senate failed again to bring electronic disclosure to the floor for a vote, as an anonymous Republican Senator again objected to unanimous consent (See video at cfinst.org). This week, editorials are weighing in again to chastise the Senate for failing to act. (Roll Call editorial appears below. Follow the links to read the others.)
Roll Call
In an editorial Sunday April 22nd, The New York Times again called for the passage of a bill requiring the Senate to file financial disclosure reports electronically and criticized an anonymous Republican Senator for placing a hold on the bill.
New York Times
Yesterday, Senators Russell Feingold (D-WI) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) attempted to gain unanimous consent on the Senate floor to take up and adopt the Senate electronic disclosure of campaign finances bill. The bill, which has 34 bipartisan sponsors, was approved unanimously on March 28 by the Senate Rules Committee. Senate Democrats have approved the bill unanimously for floor action, but an unknown Republican Senator placed a secret hold on the legislation, preventing action.
While most eyes are on the "horse race" for funding among presidential candidates, it is noteworthy that the most successful campaigns depended mainly on large donors.
Small Donors
Today the Senate Rules Committee, by unanimous voice vote, passed S. 223, providing for electronic disclosure of campaign finance reports by Senate candidates and party committees. This action paves the way for quick Senate and House approval of legislation which would bring the Senate up to the same gold standard of disclosure that has applied to House and Presidential candidates and party committees and Political Action Committees for the last 7 years and to Section 527 political organizations for the last 5 years.
Senate Rules Committee
In an editorial Monday March 26th, The New York Times criticized the Senate for its continuing self-exemption from on-line disclosure of campaign contributions before elections.
As the Senate Rules Committee gets ready for its Wednesday markup of a bill ending the Senate's seven year exemption from prompt, searchable Internet posting of campaign contributions, news stories and blogs today warned that the addition of controversial amendments could kill this long-delayed bill co-sponsored by 31 bipartisan Senators.
Campaign Finance Institute
Americans, including journalists, get much of their information today by searching the Web. That has also been the standard for campaign finance disclosure since 2001 for all House and Presidential candidates, party committees and federal Political Action Committees -- everyone, that is, except for the Senate.
In her column today in the Fort Wayne, Indiana Journal Gazette yesterday, veteran Washington correspondent Sylvia A. Smith says "things are looking up" for legislation Senators requiring Senators to disclose their campaign finances electronically, as all other federal candidates have since 2001. Through timely online disclosure, "Senators might finally admit that voters have a right to know who's paying for their election campaigns."

Rebuilding a Parent/Child Relationship
If you want to rebuild a troubled relationship with your parent or child but aren't sure where to start, Dr. Phil has advice:
Stop judging.
You can love your parent or child without loving every aspect of his/her life.
Be honest.
Tell the truth or don't say anything at all. You can be honest while retaining a boundary of respect. If discussing certain topics leads to arguments, you can simply say, "I don't want to talk about that."
Talk about things that don't matter.
If all you ever talk about in a relationship are problems, you have a problem relationship. Start talking about things that aren't crucial and don't cause conflict so that the two of you can get used to talking on a regular basis without arguing. This way, when you do have something important to talk about, the lines of communication will be open.
Forgive yourself.
There comes a time when you have to leave the past in the past and stop beating up on yourself. If you have guilt about your previous actions toward your parent or child, choose to forgive yourself.
Make a fresh start.
Once you have forgiven yourself and your loved one, you can rebuild your relationship without focusing on past conflicts. Commit to renegotiating the relationship with new boundaries.
Ease into it.
Don't expect your relationship to change overnight. Move forward together at a pace that is comfortable for both of you. If you take three steps forward and run into a problem, allow yourself to take a step back. When you are ready, take a step forward again.

The district attorney says Beaufort police officers were justified in the Halloween night shooting death of a Raleigh man.
Arthur Page, Jr. was shot after police say he attacked his sister and shot a neighbor when the woman ran across the street for help.
According to District Attorney Scott Thomas, Page ignored repeated commands to put the weapon down from Detective Eric Sassano and Patrolman Brian Willis. The man was shot as he was trying to reload his double barreled shotgun, aiming it at his sister.
The SBI investigated the shooting. Both the SBI and and Thomas conclude the shooting were justified and the two officers actions saved lives.

Coral Gables, FL (Sports Network) - The celebration is on hold thanks to Georgia Tech's Marcus Georges-Hunt.
A distributor for most of the game, Georges-Hunt penetrated to the basket, lofted a floater that hit the back rim, but tipped in his own miss at the buzzer, as the Yellow Jackets stunned No. 6 Miami-Floria, 71-69.
Georges-Hunt's second field goal of the game denied Miami its first outright ACC championship, at least for now. The Hurricanes (23-6, 14-3) get another chance to win the league crown on Saturday against Clemson. Miami will enter that contest losers in three of its last four games.
Chris Bolden scored a career-high 21 points, Daniel Miller battled the Hurricanes big men and held his own with 17 points and five rebounds, while Robert Carter added 12 points. Georges-Hunt dished out six assists and grabbed six boards, but it was his second field goal of the game that gave the Yellow Jackets (16-13, 6-11) their first win over a top-25 opponent under head coach Brian Gregory.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Three men are recovering after getting stabbed Thursday morning in downtown Augusta.
Deputies received the call around 2:30 a.m.
It all started when one of the victims said the suspect, 20-year-old Patrick Dechant, tried to use a fake ID to get into The Loft on Broad Street. The victim took away the ID.
When Dechant came back asking for the ID, the victim says he refused to give it back, which is when he says Dechant pulled out a pocketknife with a 3-inch blade.
Another man standing near the altercation kicked Dechant's hand that was holding the knife. The three victims say Dechant started walking away, which is when the three victims started walking toward him.
When they reached 9th Street, Dechant allegedly lunged forward and stabbed the third man, cutting him from the chin down to the chest.
Dechant ran to the front of his car and all of them began fighting.
Deputies say Dechant stabbed the left arm of the first victim and the left forearm of the second victim. The second man was taken to the hospital for treatment.
Dechant was taken to the hospital. He is said to be in fair condition.
One of the victims says he plans on prosecuting Dechant.

Stocks can be dangerous to your economic status. Stocks can improve your life style by letting you make money in a click of a button. Its a risky business. Stocks are all public companies that give human a decision to invest in the companies and you with earn money if it is doing well. The fallowing paragraphs are all about the stocks I decided investing in.
Investing in stocks is a tough decision to make without preparing. It is to make money but also allows you to become more aware of what company's are doing poorly or succeeding. During the 24 week period we "bought" the stocks of our choice, I finally decided on "buying" Steris Corp, SPDR Gold Shares, and McDonald's. I choice Steris Corp. for one main reason; it was flu season. Steris Corp. is a company that make healthcare products including hand sanitizer. I also chose to take part in SPDR Gold Shares. Gold has always been in high demand and it seemed to be a good money maker. Last I decided to invest in McDonald's. I chose McDonald's because it has always been popular around the world and many people enjoy their food. Overall I believe my stock choices were a pretty good decision for the circumstances.
Stocks can change in a flash, some people win and some regret. There are many changes people (including me) would make only if they could. Steris Corp. is a company I regret buying. I would have wanted to invest in Steris at a different time due to the fact I bought it when it was doing pretty well. SPDR Gold Shares is the one stock I was delighted to have bought. If I had one regret with SPDR gold shares, it would be that I would like to continue to own my shares because they are continuing to go up. McDonalds Corp, is a stock I hugely regret investing in, it went down while I owned it and I probably should have not chose McDonald's in the first place. If I could go back in time and change, I would have spent more time researching while stocks to buy and not have gone with stocks.
There is plenty of advice to give to people who are interested in stocks, but they have to also follow what they want because there is no right or wrong answer. Stocks go up and down (normally without warning.) Stocks can be surprising and unhelpful. There were a few things that made life easier while doing this stock project. The spreadsheet on the computer was the most helpful. Using formulas helped to show the math that was involved in stocks, and I was able to see what was making and losing money and how much. At the beginning of the project we used vocabulary that was used in the stock market. It helped me understand the summery of the company and words that were unknown to me. Throughout this project, every Friday we used yahoo finance to collect information on the last trade on our stocks so we could compare it to when we bought it in the first place. Yahoo finance was consistent and helpful. Overall, that stock projects was informing and helpful for understanding stocks and what they are for.
In the long run, overall I would have invested in these companies for a longer time and would have spent more time exploring my options in the stock market. In the stocks I invested in, which were Steris Corp., McDonald's and SPDR Gold Shares, I would have invested in SPDR Gold Shares because of what I have learned. The other stocks did not progress as much as I would have liked. It is a live and learn lesson.

This is my Stocks in Math Class.
This is a spreadsheet our math class did. We were following the stock market. We each choose three or four companies to follow and we made a spreadsheet to calculate how much money we had made or lost. Someone of us made a lot of money and some of us lost a lot of money.

I picked these three companies for our math stock project because I thought they would make money. I was wrong. I picked Glaxo Smith Kline (GSK) because I heard that pharmaceuticals were doing well and making money. They ended up going up for a while then they started to drop. I ended up losing money. I picked Excel Maritime Carriers (EXM) because I thought that during the holiday season people would be shipping a lot of presents and companies would be shipping their products to people. They also had a steady increase before I bought it so I thought they were already doing well. I picked Phillips Morris (PM) at random. I really picked it at random but ended up keeping it because I heard that tobacco companies were doing well. I also saw that their stocks had been going p recently. I chose these three companies because they looked like they were going to make a lot of money. Don't be fooled people. Do your research.
If I could change my portfolio I would have done more research. I wouldn't have changed my stocks in GSK even though I lost money. They were doing well until the stock market started to look bearish. I would have changed my stocks in EXM and PM though. I would have done my research and not just taken people's work. I would have listened to what people were saying but I would have checked to see if they were right. It ended up being that my stocks in EXM were risky and not a very good deal. In PM I would have just done more research and learned how tobacco companies were really doing. These are the changes I would have made to my portfolio.
Stocks are a risky business, so know what you are doing. Do a lot of research on your company and other companies like them. If there is a bearish market, then you should be careful with the companies you chose. It there is a bullish market chose the ones that have recently gone up. I should have looked into other companies like EXM because another shipping company's stocks went way up when mine went way down. Don't just take people's work on something, double check. Also it is very risky so look at their chart. If in the past year they have been going way up, then don't assume they will keep going up. They could easily just drop. Another good tip is to not put all your money into one stock. If your stock goes down then you lose a lot of money. I know that because invested almost all my stocks in GSK and lost a lot. Before you buy your stocks just think it through and do your research.

Stock Market Lessons
I picked three stocks to invest in, Google, Apple, and TJX Companies Inc. I picked Google to invest in for various reasons. Google is a global company that is used a lot by people because it is so easy to use. When I looked at Google's background information it showed that according to the data Google's worth should go up. I also chose to invest in Apple because it is a very popular company that is always creating new things. Also when I looked up stock market information about Apple, I saw that the prices of its stocks had been growing rapidly. I also bought stocks from TJX Cos. Inc. because each stock was relatively cheap at less then $40 per stock, so I could get a lot of stocks. TJX also seemed to have a very good record because the prices for individual stocks seemed to be climbing. I picked all of these stocks for different reasons, but they all had one thing in common, optimistic background information.
After all of my stock market research, I have a few changes that I would have liked to make. When I finally sold Google, after 24 weeks, I was actually losing money on it. To change this, I would have either not bought Google to begin with, or I would have sold it on December 31, when it had temporarily rose up about $50. Now, after watching Apple for 24 weeks, I think it would have been better if I had bought more Apple stocks because they made me a lot of money. I also should have bought more stocks from TJX because all of these stocks have made me small amounts of money. I also would have sold TJX stocks at week 23, when it was at my record high of $47.69. Although I would change a few things about my stock choices, I still think that my original choices were fine because in the end I made a lot of money.
After watching these stocks for 24 weeks, I have learned many things that would benefit anyone interested in buying stocks. If anyone is interested in buying Google, I would suggest selling this stock whenever it is at a high price because this stock continually changes quickly. I think that Apple is a great stock to invest in because this company is always coming out with new stuff, that makes its worth even higher. TJX is also a very good stock to invest in because although each individual stock only rose about $8, when you have a lot of stocks, you make a high profit. Also, for any stock, it is always important to check the background, and reliability of each company before you make any decisions.

This is my spreadsheet. I picked three stocks. Ebay, Walt Disney, and Walmart. We started our stocks on November 19 2009 and we're going to end on April 22, 2010. We started a spread sheet so we could see if we were gaining money or losing money. At first everything that I had I was losing money with but now, I'm gaining money. This was from Thursday April 1, 2010 so now I'm still gaining but Walmart is losing. This is to teach us how to use stock and what happens in everyday life. Those are my stocks.

In math class, we invested in three stocks. We were given $10,000 to spend on stocks. I invested in Apple, Aeropostale, and The Cheesecake factory. Apple has recovered from falling under $200, but Aeropostale went down below my buy price. When my other two stocks were down, The Cheesecake Factory was going up. Right now, I'm making $1,569.64.

Back in November we invested in the stock market. We were asked to buy shares from three different companies. We got to spend ten thousand dollors and no more. We had an hand written update sheet for the first couple of weeks. After we got going we created a spread sheet of open office spreadsheets. The spreadsheet allowed us to update our stocks every week without having to do any math or do out all of the formulas that the spreadsheet does for us. The hand wriiten update sheet we still use to write down the prices each week. Our spreadsheets would caculate all of our gains/ losses everyweek as we updated everthing. In class every Friday is when we would update our sreadsheets and check on our stocks.

In my math class we are learning about stocks. Our teacher gave us a metephorical $10,000. We got to pick 3-4 stocks to invest in. I picked Apple, Novartis, Amazon, and IMAX. We later learned the formulas to put our stocks into a spreadsheet. We have been updating our spreadsheets for many months now. I really enjoy this project and hope to continue.

In the stock market project i selected 4 stocks. Google, Sears Holding Company, Toyota Motors and Sirius Radio. Google used to be my best stock until they came out with the new google phone and that caused a huge downfall from $640to around $520. But now its back up to to what I bought it at Toyota has been hovering around 10 above what I bought it at. My highest winner is Sears, it has gone up about 40 dollars than what bought it at. Well thats what my stocks are doing.

This is my stock market spreadsheet, showing the gains and losses that I made in week 20 of the stock program. As shown above, I am making lots of money mostly in Apple, and I am making a little bit of cash in IBM (International Business Machines) and Activision-Blizzard. Google however, is losing money for me, but at one point I was making hundreds of dollars. The stock unit is very interesting, and will give me good insight if I ever want to actually invest in real stocks.

I have selected three different companies to "buy" shares of their stocks. I have been following these companies throughout the year, tracking their progress, and hoping to make money. I have watched as the DOW has rose and fell, bringing the worth of my stocks along with it. I am currently making the most money off of these stocks, that I have all year. I think that they will continue to rise as the DOW rises. It is hard for me to imagine, but just a few weeks ago, I was in the red, losing hundreds of dollars.

Since November, 2009, I have been updating and keeping up with the stock market. I had $10,000 of fake money to spend on shares of three different stocks. I chose to invest in Apple (AAPL) Home Depot (HD) and Walmart (WMT). When I purchased Apple, it was 200.51 a share. Now, it is up all the way to 248.92 a share! Home Depot was originally 27.11 per share, but over the weeks, it gained 8.03, so it is up to 35.14! Lastly, Walmart was 54.54 when I bought it, but lost value to be 54.13. This project has taught me so much about the world of stocks.

Topic: VIDEO of The Rock talking about RAZZIES
Posted: November 16 2005 at 2:07am
Here is a LINK to see the star of DOOM in a French interview (don't worry, it's in ENGLISH -- The Rock doesn't speak French!). Anywaze, he discusses his chances at an Academy Award for this role (!?!?) -- And then admits he's likelier to be a RAZZIE Nominee for DOOM. The Rock comes across as charming, and we'd be delighted if he lived up to his word. So why wait -- To see it for yourself, clik on the LINK then scroll down to Voir l'Interview video de The Rock. The RAZZIE reference occurs at about 1 minute, 23 seconds in (after he talks about Those OTHER Awards)...

IT seems everybody thinks he's the next hogan or something he's done better at most of the movies he's been in than most of the Hollywood celebrities that have been in the business for years have done. So what Doom wasn't a box office smash The only reason guys like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt And Matthew mcGahouneyhay can carry a film is because of their looks Their Acting ability is nothing like Robert Deniro or Al Pacino. And both of them have had bombs in the box office so don't discredit him because he hasn't made a 100 million dollar movie yet it takes time. And at least all of his movies have debuted at #1 or #2 in the box office records name someone else who has done that in the early stages of their careers.

I have to agree with you on everything that you typed. Brad Pitt and Matthew McConnehey mostly depend on their looks to attract female viewers otherwise there films wouldn't do so well at the box office. Neither of the two are very good actors. Also most of their films aren't that great. Has anyone seen Mr. and Mrs. Smith? In my opinion that movie was much worse than Doom. The action sequences were poorly put together, the story was boring, the only halfway interesting things in this movie was the chemistry between Brad and Angelina on screen and Brad's looks (yes, I'm a woman so I can appreciate his looks but I also can come to terms with his mediocre acting skills)
Okay, getting back to Doom. I don't think that the Rock did a bad acting job. I think he did well with the material he had to work with. Lets face it the character he played wasnt given a great deal of depth by the writer/writers.
In my opinion Doom's failure at the box office has little to do with the casting or the movie itself. I don't think the movie was marketed very well (you would think if a movie studio spent 70 million to make a movie then they would at least do their best to make a profit). There was next to no information available out there on this movie. I didnt even now it was out there until my sister e-mailed some information about the film. Universal should have spent more money advertising this film. They really needed to sell it to its core base (gamers), sci-fi fans, horror fans, and the Rock's female fans (we're out here drooling over the Rock )

Benito Mussolini
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Ich nehme an, dass er recht hatte. Er war sicherlich ein handliches Ding während meines Krieges, aber er wollte und wollte nicht aufhören, meinen Arsch zu lecken."
"One more time, let me really hear the music in it!"
"The best thing about him was his thighs"
Benito Mussolini (a.k.a Il Douche, The Big Bambino "Big Meaty Toes", Michael Bistacchi or even Musso the Moose, or simply, Ben) was the Fascist dictator of Italia during World War II. Benito Mussolini was named after a type of homosexual crab found in the nether, and a kind of Japanese tuna fish. He was born in Madagascar on the 74th of Tuesday and died in the 20th century of asphyxiation while hanging from a lamp-post which was attributed to natural causes. Mussolini is regarded as one of the most evil little princesses whoever existed, behind Gandhi.
Political career
Ben Mussolini's innovative policies led to the development of what life would suck without: Fascism. Who doesn't love a good fascist? He soon became known as "Il Duce", which is Italian for "the douche bag". Those closest to him testified later that he always had a strange odor, similar to that of a combination of fried plantains and sweaty gym socks, and that he became violently angry when asked about it.
Unbeknownst to most people, the Canadian-born Mussolini didn't really speak Italian, but by waving his arms around wildly while shouting gibberish, he became known as an orator. His lack of cultural knowledge led to his death, because he believed that being pulled out of a car, hung by the feet and publicly beaten was an Italian gesture of "hust" (The Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, Hubei province, China - which has become a world center for husting or displaying).
His infamous alliance to Adolf Hitler, resulted in the creation of the Axis Powers, as well as many notable macrame plant holders. This partnership was mainly engineered by Mussolini due to deteriorating relations with the Jewish people, and Mussolini has also been though to have been hitler's bitch. Historians widely agree that the cause of these poor relations was due to the pizza bagel, quickly becoming a culinary giant after its invention by Albert Einstein in 1932 (the pizza bagel would go on to become an integral part of nuclear technology). Italy is home to the largest concentration of people who frequently eat pizza of a higher quality than Pizza Hut, thus creating an environment of animosity whereas the pizza bagel was received well in many other parts of the world. Like the Bubonic plague and Barry Manilow in the past, this was a problem that was easy to blame on Jews, because they are there and they are not us. Some think a new world war will be the ultimate result of modern things morons do to pizza (such as peanut butter and jelly and E. coli as toppings.)
March On his penis
In 1931 B.C. an event took place that would shake the foundation of our very earth, Bonito the fish "Moose" Mussolini proved to the entire country of Italy that King "What's his face" was a bitch... When the king got word of such a march he lost it, he ran around the entire castle telling each and every person that if they had anything to do with the march he would "Rape shit there", to this day that threat has topped almost every "Top 100 Threat" lists around the globe. Although Benito did not need to go threw with the March on the Romez, he did it anyway and what a march it T'was. Although taking 45 hundred million years, Mussolini killed 12 French prostitutes and a priest from Alaska. When Rome was finally captured Benito did the robot for the next 68 days, saying "Domo" every time someone tried to interrupt him. This event caused Benito Mussolini, the unnecessarily large douche bag, to gain overwhelming success on the ass suckers circuit.
Benito Mussolini's conquest
When the II Douche ran out of prostitutes in Italy, he went mad! He became outraged and started taking out other countries. Each country he conquered, the more prostitutes he did. After taking over Ethiiopia, he stopped. This is because he invented pornhub the store. They sold black and white porn with him featured in it. He got so high one day. It was ridiculous. He drove his ford all the way to Hitler's mansion. When he got there, he raped Hitler. It wasn't actually rape though, because Hitler was gay. They both tryed having sex but both of their butts were stuffed with shit. As a result, when they tried to put their penis in each others buttholes it wouldn't fit. They tried going oral, but in their mouth was more shit.
Benito aspired to re-create the Roman Empire, and began by invading the very places that made Rome a super power: Ethiopia and Albania. The campaign in Ethiopia was relatively easy, but he was accused of hax by Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie.
Expansion and World War 2
He deployed the Italian Military into Albania, and several months later the completely unarmed country surrounded and captured the Italian army. This put an enormous strain on the Italian forces. Mussolini, being the military genius that he was, chose to stay out of the major combat until it was clear who would win. In 1940, he invaded Southern France after the French had surrendered, and a German puppet, Vichy France, was in power. This military victory gave Mussolini the confidence he needed. He soon tried to push into Greece but forgot that tanks from World War One aren't effective on mountainous terrain and had to ask Hitler for a few guys. Eventually Greece fell.
In 1941, Mussolini drove his military into British held Egypt. Unfortunately, water and supplies were forgotten and the entire army was lost before a single British soldier was spotted.
As the United States invasion force rolled into Italy in 1943, Mussolini ordered the army to crush the enemies, but before he could finish the sentence he was deposed and sent to jail. In his only phone call, he called Hitler and asked to be 'bailed out.' Soon enough, the German Army broke him out of jail, took over Northern Italy, and declared Mussolini the leader of the new Puppet State. The Germans forgot that Italy was under attack and left Mussolini in Northern Italy around a bunch of people that hated the fuck out of him.
Later life
"He's hanging from a lamppost at the corner of the street..."
After retiring as supreme ruler of Fascist Italy (for the second time) good ol' Benito decided to embark on a career as a musician. For some with the determination of Mussolini lack of talent was no barrier. His major achievement was his collaboration with George Formby and The Communist Rebels to create the smash hit "Hanging from a Lamppost". After moderate success he decided to try other ventures. His new dream was to become Kojak, but his screen test was ruined by his uncontrollable giggling, so in 1954 he instead created his own wine company.
In 1976, Mussolini retired from the wine business and in 1984 he died on the dance floor of the local "Pasta Inferno" disco. He had an ecstasy overdose and collapsed after 9 hours non-stop dancing to "Funky Town" (This is listed as the official cause of death, however, quite a bit of evidence exists that points towards David Zed as having poisoned Mussolini).
Thanks to the advances in technology, scientists working out of Bosnia-Herzegovnia are working hard on creating a new Mussolini, cloned from the DNA of one of Mussolini's pubic hairs. Although he did so many bad things, he famously made the trains run on time, or to be more accurate he forced people to believe the trains were running on time by putting all the clocks in Italy back 3 minutes every hour. In fact, denying that Mussolini made the trains run on time can still get you shot in Italy.
Developing an infection
When he was 6, he started to feel an itching in his pubic hairs. Later he found out that he has a vagina. He liked it so he started stuffing all sorts of things in it. Later he got a blue waffle and tried to eat it thinking it was a blueberry flavored waffle. When he figured out he couldn't eat it he keps on buying condoms to keep himself happy. The he got aids and moved to china to give blowjobs to kids. This became the job that made him rich. His wife then admitted that she had a dick and started walking around town naked. Benito was forced to divorce her because they couldn't have sex because of Benitos aids problem. He ended up spreading his aids so that's why aids still exists. Benito was also a penis sucking blue waffle liking dildo owner freak. And that is how he died, he choked on a dildo and trying to eat his blue waffle at the same time.
Did Mussolini really exist?
Some believe that it is impossible to say whether or not Mussolini really existed or if he was just a character of fiction. Any pictures of him could easily have originally just been a picture of a wall until someone photo-shopped him in. Can anyone say that they actually saw him and if so how can they be sure they are not just crazy? There is no definite evidence of his existence. Some say his birth certificate is proof of his existence but have you ever seen his birth certificate with your own eyes? No, I didn't think so. Therefore any facts on this page are the views of those who believe in his existence but have no proof. Some say he was thought up by the starman who ruled Italy at the time. He thought he might blow their minds so he made up a Mussolini so that people didn't freak that their leader was an alien.

Microsoft's Don Mattrick (Credit: Getty Images)
But the man in charge of Xbox maintains Microsoft is offering an incredible deal.
Don Mattrick, president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business, defended the Xbox One's price tag against the heavy criticism it has been receiving, telling Bloomberg TV the price is more than fair given all the system has to offer.
"It's a lower number than some of the analysts had forecasted," he said. "We're over-delivering value against other choices I think consumers can get. Any modern product these days, you look at it [and] $499 isn't a ridiculous price point. We're delivering thousands of dollars of value to people, so I think they're going to love it when they use it."
[Related: Images from E3 2013]
Arguing the value of a system versus its cost is old hat in the video game industry. It's the go-to tool for any console manufacturer facing criticism about pricing decisions, but given Microsoft's other recent PR stumbles – specifically, confusion about its policy on used games (which is still persistent, despite the company putting out a clear statement on the matter right before E3) and its required internet connection -- Mattrick's argument is falling flat.
"Isn't this pretty much what Sony was saying last gen about their outlandish pricing?," noted one forum user on GameSpot. "The sign of a wise man is the ability to learn from others' mistakes."
Not helping things was Mattrick's tone-deaf reply to a question last week about that required Internet connection.
"We have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity -- it's called Xbox 360," he said.
Microsoft's protests notwithstanding, no one seems happy about the Xbox One's price. Publishers were quick to note they would have preferred it to be $100 cheaper, and while Mattrick says the price is lower than some analysts had predicted, the ones we've spoken with say they were just as shocked as gamers were when it was announced.
"The launch price is above our expectations, and potentially pushing the envelope as Microsoft looks to expand the console beyond the core gaming demographic and to a broader consumer audience," said Edward Williams of BMO Capital Markets.

The first day of the Spring semester at Kinston High School was an unplanned half-day.
Kinston Assistant Public Services Director Steve Miller, said the school's transformer blew. Students were in the dark around 10:30AM on their first day back in the 2012-2013 Spring semester. Miller said the transformer did not catch fire, cause any damage to the school, and only affected power at the school.
Lenoir County Schools spokeswoman Lidia Guzman said the cafeteria could not operate and serve students lunch, so the decision was made to release them early from school.
Guzman was told the transformer would take nearly six hours to repair, and students should be able to return to school on Thursday.

I am reading the book, "The Willpower Instinct" by Kelly McGonigal, PH.D. And I want to share just one tip from the book that I think will help all of us resist the demons in our lives. I am paraphrasing the good doctor, but she essentially says that we need to stop rewarding ourselves. What does that mean your sexy yet confused little mind wonders? Well let me take you back to a couple of your last temptations.
You were at the restaurant for lunch or dinner and you were looking over the menu. You see the appetizer list which is always full of healthy deep fried choices! And you say to yourself, "Self, I know I shouldn't, but I'm going to have the fried potato skins dipped in the heart stopping and inflammation causing cheese & bacon because..." Not connecting? Then how about this scenario, "I know I shouldn't have that margarita or beer with almost 300 calories, but I'm going to because..." It is after the "because" that you and I may be heading straight into a death trap (literally). And that death trap may sound like one of the following:
You and I tend to reward ourselves when we do the right things by doing the wrong things. And that includes rewarding ourselves ahead of time (i.e. I'll excercise later to make up for eating like sh#*! now). I can't tell you the number of people I have seen at one of my favorite restaurants drinking a Margarita in their workout clothes. And please don't think my saggy butt is judging them, but they have to realize that the reward is canceling out their hard work (assuming they are wanting to lose weight). Now, if your goal isn't weight loss and you have the butt of a Brazilian bikini model or bodybuilder then go for the reward from time to time. Just know that if you are trying to lose a few pounds where you are too round then your reward is sticking to eating healthy right now. We all know that the run later or the diet on Monday may not happen. And in fact, we don't do weird diets anymore, because we have chose to eat healthy for life.
This concept can be applied to other areas as well, such as procrastinating on applying for a new job, starting that book you always wanted to write, saving money, starting your own business, and etc. In this instance we defiantly need to live in the here and now...the power of now! Make sure the rewards are just that...a reward.

Getting out of Venice was like a reality TV challenge. All public transportation was cancelled. There was an annual rowing race going on that morning which everyone in Venice failed to mention. Keren and I ended up having to run with our luggage about 5 miles from San Marco to the train station. We obviously missed our train but no deal. Upon arriving in Florence, the rain was dying down and it was starting to get nice out. We walked around the Duomo, looked at sunglasses, inappropriate aprons, sculptures in the piazza, and note: the creepy white cupid man-child scaring the life out of that little girl. After, we headed to the Uffizi and spent a few hours strolling through. Afterwards, we had a panini at 'Ino, the "Marlow & Sons" on Florence, I guess, basically local and awesome. But dinner was out of control. Holy bananas. This place Trattoria Marione's was the jam. And of course, ice cream after; no will power.

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as the best Gynecology hospital in the nation for 2015-2016 by U.S. News & World Report.
Focused ultrasound surgery is a noninvasive treatment option for uterine fibroids — noncancerous growths of the uterus. A pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is typically performed before treatment to determine whether you're a good candidate for focused ultrasound surgery.
Focused ultrasound surgery — also called magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery or focused ultrasound ablation — is performed while you're inside an MRI scanner equipped with a high-energy ultrasound transducer for treatment.
The images give your doctor the precise location of the uterine fibroids and the locations of nearby structures to be avoided, such as the bowel and bladder. While the MRI monitors the targeted fibroid and surrounding structures, the ultrasound transducer focuses sound waves into the fibroid to heat and destroy small areas of fibroid tissue.
Not widely available, focused ultrasound surgery typically is done at specialized clinics.

Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 3625 reviewTechRadar Pro
This 17" desktop replacement is large and comfortable but flawed by poor performance
This 17" desktop replacement is large and comfortable but flawed by poor performance
A large and comfortable desktop replacement, but poor multimedia credentials
A huge entertainment laptop at a reasonable price
The Fujitsu Siemens (FSC) Lifebook T1010 (£1067 inc. VAT) is a Tablet PC with a regular keyboard and a screen that rotates 180 degrees to the left or right, and folds flat for data entry when you're on the move. With a glossy-white patterned finish, it's an attractive machine aimed at corporate users.
Small and compact, this feels like a miniature laptop
Fujitsu Siemens (FSC) has an extensive laptop range that covers business and consumer markets. The Amilo Pi 3540 (£699 inc. VAT) features a unique design, great screen and strong usability, but is let down by basic mobility and mixed performance.
The Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pa 3553 (£699 inc. VAT) is a semi-portable laptop aimed at the consumer market. It's the first machine we've seen to feature AMD's latest M780G platform, which brings with it a host of new processors and updated graphics options.
With so much attention being paid to the mini-laptop segment of the market, it may seem that manufacturers are ignoring the higher-end ultraportable end of the market. So the Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook P8010 (£1657 inc. VAT) arrives as a timely reminder.
Fujitsu Siemens' Esprimo range is designed for the business user, with products offering mobility, strength and usability. With an affordable price tag and lack of features, the Esprimo Mobile V5505 (£453 inc. VAT) fits in at the low-end of the range and is one of the cheapest machines here.
The Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xi 2550 (£999 inc. VAT) is aimed at the casual gamer who doesn't need two graphics cards or the fastest possible performance. As such, it's a lot more affordable than much of the competition and its smaller size is more practical for day-to-day use.

Support your feet in the morning
|Do you suffer from Plantar Fasciitis (aka "heel pain")? Do your knees or back hurt? Often times the cause of the pain starts at your feet. Last week I told y'all about my experience finding relief from Plantar Fasciitis. This week I thought I'd mention the importance of supporting your feet at all times, especially in the morning.
When you first get out of bed you may not think that going barefoot would be a problem. But over night your muscles have relaxed and have had a few hours to recover. If you are experiencing foot problems the last thing you want to do is start the day off causing your feet to be stressed. Instead of going barefoot, slide into a Birkenstock or Kenkoh sandal when you crawl out of bed.
|The Kenkoh sandal is an especially good "house slipper." The arch is pronounced and very supportive. The massaging nodules stimulate the nerve ending in your feet and get your body's "juices flowing." Clinical studies have shown that wearing the Kenkoh sandal stimulates blood flow, reduces lower leg swelling, and creates a feeling of "wellbeing." Can there be a better way to start your day?
Happy Feet Plus has been selling Kenkoh sandals since 1985. During the last 25 years thousands of people have found relief from pain wearing Kenkohs. We feel so strongly about the positive benefits of the Kenkoh sandals that we have made them one of what we call the "Foot Health Essentials."
|The "Foot Health Essentials" consist of three parts – Strengthen, Support, and Revitalize. The Kenkoh sandals represent the Revitalize. segment. The design of the sandal is based on the concept of Reflexology where the sole of the foot has nerve endings that connect with major body parts and functions. Wearing the Kenkoh sandals stimulates the nerve endings and creates a "Revitalizing" effect.
Try a pair. Wear them around the house or when you might be tempted to wear an unsupportive flip-flop. Your feet (and back, and knees…) will be glad you did.

Mitotic Inhibitors for Chemotherapy
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Docefrez, Taxotere
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
How It Works
Mitotic inhibitors interfere with the cancer cell's ability to reproduce. They do this by stopping mitosis (a process by which a cell divides), or blocking enzymes that are needed for reproduction.
Mitotic inhibitors are intravenous (IV) medicines. The type and extent of a cancer determines the exact dose and schedule for taking these medicines.
Why It Is Used
Mitotic inhibitors slow or stop the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body. They may be used to treat cancers, such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or testicular cancer.
How Well It Works
Mitotic inhibitors are effective antitumor medicines. But the type and extent of a cancer determines how effectively these medicines slow or stop the growth of cancer cells in the body.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Signs of infection such as a fever or chills.
- A drop in your heart rate or blood pressure.
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice) or belly pain. This may mean the medicine has damaged your liver.
- Severe nausea and vomiting.
- Severe diarrhea.
- Swollen belly, ankles, or feet.
Vinorelbine may cause serious problems with the large intestines, such as severe constipation, a blockage, a hole in the intestine, or dead tissue. These problems have caused some deaths.
Common side effects of these medicines include:
- Hair loss. This is reversible, and hair will grow back when treatment ends.
- Numbness and tingling in the hands or feet (peripheral neuropathy).
- Fatigue or weakness.
- Muscle or joint aches.
- Mouth sores and a sore throat.
- Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
- Cessation of menstruation (amenorrhea), early menopause, and decreased sperm count (azoospermia).
Taking docetaxel may cause you to get acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). But this is very rare.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
While you are taking these medicines, you will have tests to check your blood cell counts and your liver function.
Mitotic inhibitors should not be taken by anyone who has liver problems, a low white-blood-cell count, or who has taken this medicine in the past.
You may not be able to become pregnant or father a child after taking these medicines. Talk with your doctor about fertility before starting treatment.
Estramustine shouldn't be taken with milk products or calcium-rich foods as the calcium can make it harder for your body to absorb this medicine. Estramustine shouldn't be used by people who have had an allergic reaction to estradiol or chemotherapy medicines like estramustine.
Ixabepilone should not be taken by people who are allergic to synthetic castor oil. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take because ixabepilone can react with other medicines, vitamins, or herbal products. You will need to avoid drinking alcohol while taking this medicine.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
Do not use this medicine if you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant. If you need to use this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

A Winnebago woman is hospitalized after a car accident Sunday.
Police say 38-year-old Sandra Denny was driving west on Comly Road when she failed to stop at the stop sign at Pecatonica Road. She then collided with 39-year-old Mark Peterson who was heading south on Pecatonica Road.
Denny was ejected from her van and was airlifted to Rockford Memorial Hospital where she's now in good condition.
Peterson suffered minor injuries and was charged with driving on a suspended license after initially giving police a false name. Charges against Denny are pending.

Returns still run rampant in folrart and also hold high position in the RP ranking.
This suggestion presents an alternative to return giving SP back, which would be nice too.
So image the return grim for example, instead of returning a level 3 it would make the unit's presence not count as much while on the field.
Target level 3 can't execute an action for 2 turns and it also doesn't count as present on the field.
That means:
- the unit sits there occupying a slot on the field
- if it's the only unit on its row, the row it's on will not be counted
- it can't execute an attack nor skills
To put it simply no units and no soul skills can interact with it! And the level 3 itself that was targeted by return will also not be able to interact at all with the rest of the field for 2 turns.

Options set in your vimrc will apply to all files that you edit. You can also set:
- Different options for all files of a certain type (for example, all
*.pyfiles). See filetype.vim and filetypes and an example.
- Different options for a particular file using modelines (this tip).
Note that the 'modeline' option must be set in order to take advantage of this tip. This option is set by default for Vim running in nocompatible mode, but some notable distributions of Vim disable this option in the system vimrc for security. In addition, it is off by default when editing as root. See :help 'modeline' for more information.
For example, in a particular file you may want each tab character that you type to be expanded to spaces. To achieve this, put the following modeline near the top or the bottom of that file:
# vim: set expandtab:
The space between the comment opening and
vim: is required, otherwise the modeline will not be recognized.
The modeline cannot be anywhere in the file: it must be in the first or last few lines. The exact location where vim checks for the modeline is controlled by the
modelines variable; see :help 'modelines'. By default, it is set to 5 lines.
In a Python file, the '
#' starts a comment so the modeline is not interpreted by Python.
The following examples show some alternatives that could be in a C file:
// vim: noai:ts=4:sw=4 -or- /* vim: noai:ts=4:sw=4 */ -or- /* vim: set noai ts=4 sw=4: */ -or- /* vim: set fdm=expr fde=getline(v\:lnum)=~'{'?'>1'\:'1': */
With "
set", the modeline ends at the first colon not following a backslash. Without "
set", no text can follow the options, so for example, the following is invalid:
Error E518: Unknown option: */ /* vim: noai:ts=4:sw=4 */
Adding a modeline
With the following in your vimrc and the default leader key, you could type
\ml to add a modeline based on your current settings:
" Append modeline after last line in buffer. " Use substitute() instead of printf() to handle '%%s' modeline in LaTeX " files. function! AppendModeline() let l:modeline = printf(" vim: set ts=%d sw=%d tw=%d %set :", \ &tabstop, &shiftwidth, &textwidth, &expandtab ? '' : 'no') let l:modeline = substitute(&commentstring, "%s", l:modeline, "") call append(line("$"), l:modeline) endfunction nnoremap <silent> <Leader>ml :call AppendModeline()<CR>
In a C file, you would get a modeline like this:
/* vim: set ts=8 sw=4 tw=0 noet : */
Alternatively, you could use a simple menu entry, for example:
amenu Edit.Insert\ &modeline <C-\><C-N>ggOvim:ff=unix ts=4 ss=4<CR>vim60:fdm=marker<Esc>
Choosing the menu item would insert two modelines like this:
vim:ff=unix ts=4 ss=4 vim60:fdm=marker
- Need note on security implications of modelines and reference to alternatives.
- Text other than "vim:" can be recognised as a modeline.
- Google "vim modeline vulnerability" (without quotes) for information.
- :help auto-setting
- :help modeline
- :help 'modeline' determines whether to look for modelines
- :help 'modelines' number of lines checked to find each modeline
This mechanism can be extended to 'let' – see script#83.
See script#1876 - securemodelines
How can we make this page more discoverable? New users may have seen a comment at the top of a file, with vim settings in it, but they don't know that this is called a 'modeline'. They may search for something like "set options in a comment" and we should return this page. --Preceding unsigned comment added by Chopp3r 00:19, November 26, 2013
- I made a redirect, see Set options in a comment. Clicking that link will go to this page, and at the top will be a small link saying "(Redirected from Set options in a comment)". Clicking that will go to the actual redirect page, which you can edit to see the idea. The search engine takes some time (a day or two?) to update its indices, but after that searching for "set options in a comment" should go directly here. It should help Google find that as well. In practice it is difficult anticipating what people might search for, but your suggested text is very reasonable so a redirect is worthwhile. JohnBeckett (talk) 09:10, November 26, 2013 (UTC)
- I just tried "vim set options in a comment" (without quotes) in Google, and this page was #3, behind Stackoverflow at #1 and #2. It's hard to improve on #3, but we'll see what happens in a few days. JohnBeckett (talk) 09:12, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

May 5, 2016
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- Auburn coach Gus Malzahn closed his first recruiting class by landing two of the nation's top defensive linemen.
Defensive tackle Montravius Adams and end Elijah Daniel both announced on Wednesday that they'd play for the Tigers. The class is ranked No. 10 by Rivals.
Malzahn is known more for his fast-paced offense but the defensive front was clearly the strength of a class that survived a couple of high-profile defections after Gene Chizik's firing.
The late additions join five-star defensive end Carl Lawson, regarded as the nation's No. 4 recruit by Rivals.
Malzahn says he feels like they're "three of the best in the entire country."
Running back Johnathan Ford also chose the Tigers over Tennessee on Wednesday.
The Tigers signed three quarterbacks, including junior college transfer Nick Marshall.

Jorge Fernandez Diaz said Tuesday his ministry was working for the release of 46-year-old Marc Marginedas, who has not been seen since Sept. 4 when the car he and his driver were in was stopped by armed jihadists near the western town of Hama.
Barcelona-based El Periodico says it has not been able to contact Marginedas. The newspaper says no group had claimed responsibility. Diaz did not say how he knew who had kidnapped Marginedas.
El Periodico says Marginedas entered Syria from Turkey on Sept. 1 for what was his third trip since the conflict erupted in 2011.
Marginedas has reported from Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya, Lebanon, Darfur and Algeria.


text: BMX Bandits are a Scottish 1960s-influenced guitar pop band who have been making music from 1986 to the present day. They have shared members with other Bellshill bands Teenage Fanclub and The Soup Dragons. BMX Bandits were formed by songwriter and lead vocalist Duglas T. Stewart out of the ashes of The Pretty Flowers, a group that featured Stewart alongside Frances McKee (later of The Vaselines), Sean Dickson and Norman Blake. The group have had many line up changes throughout the years. Their songs mix melodic qualities and humour with, at times, raw and heartbreaking pathos. Stewart has written many of the group's works solo including "Your Class", "The Sailor's Song" and "Doorways" but also has collaborated with many of the other members. Stewart's most regular songwriting partners have been Francis MacDonald, Norman Blake and, more recently, David Scott. The group's most celebrated song is the autobiographical "Serious Drugs",[citation needed] recorded in 1991 but not released until 1993. The song featured in the movie This Year's Love and was covered by American stadium power pop group Gigolo Aunts. Oasis did their first UK tour dates supporting the Bandits as a favour from Stewart to Creation label boss Alan McGee.[citation needed] BMX Bandits admirers included Jason Donovan, who was photographed wearing a BMX Bandits T shirt. Donovan claimed on a Sydney radio show that if he could be in any band it would be BMX Bandits.[citation needed]
