Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
Forum Moderators: not2easy
My clients want a Online Newsletter for their staff, but they also want them to be able to print it off and take it home. Instead of creating two documents I suggested the below solution.
<style type="text/css" media="print">@import url(print.css);</style>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import url(test.css);</style>
When I asked the PR people to print out a couple of pages, one from the old site and one with the different media's, they came back and asked what was so different. Both pages printed out the same way. I'm using the company is using a mix of IE6,5.5 and 5. It works fine on 6 but on the others it seems to ignore the media.
I tried to have a look here [codestyle.org] at the compatibility of CSS2 and browsers, but I'm just not picking it up.
Is this a browser version or settings issue?
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="test.css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print.css" media="print" />
@media print {
.overideyourStylesHere {
display: none;
} /* close @media */
The only problem with any of this really is browser support. AFAIK only IE6 supports it in the IE camp and NS6 Opera 6. No IE5+ support I'm afraid...
It still works fine when I print, I'll be back tomorrow if it's still buggy on others. Cheers for the help.

About Me
Hey there,
This is Teri and I'm glad you found your way to my blog. I'm a woman over 40 and as I go along I'm beginning to experience some of the things that you knew intellectually would come with age, but somehow when you are in your 20′s it just seemed so far away.
This blog is about self discovery and self development, it's about fixing the things you can and learning how to forget about the rest. Ultimately it's a journey of discovery and acceptance.


text:
or indirectly, stating where, how, of whom, or by what means any obscene matter or equipment enumerated in Sections 310.02 or 310.03 can be purchased, obtained or otherwise had is punishable as provided in Section 310.11. [Considered later in this report.]
1. Discussion Evidence was received that many distributors require retailers, newsstand dealers, and operators to buy obscene matter for resale if they wish to receive the major and popular nationally advertised publications. Although some dealers may have used this as an excuse for handling obscene matter, witnesses generally agreed that it would be desirable to enact legislation similar to the present package tie-in sale law to include such practices.
The present law, found in Business and Professions Code, Section 16603, was enacted in 1955 when there was a great deal of concern about comic books. It generally bars a wholesaler from requiring a retailer to buy an illustrated publication which shows the performance of certain specified crimes in order to get periodicals that the retailer would like to have for his ordinary business. One of the offenses mentioned in Section 16603 is rape; otherwise the section does not relate to sexual matters, but instead it relates to crimes of violence.
2. Recommendations A new section numbered "310.05" should be added to the proposed Chapter VII. 5 to read substantially as follows:
310.05. Tie-in Sales of Obscene Matter. Every person who, as a condition to a sale, or delivery for resale of any matter, requires that the purchaser or consignee receive for resale, any other obscene matter, is punishable as provided in Section 310.11. [Considered later in this report.]
7. Discussion Among exhibits submitted at hearings was legislation in other major states making it a criminal offense to use minors to aid in the preparation or distribution of obscene matter. In view of the fact that California has no such legislation at the present time, it has been suggested that it would be desirable to enact a similar statute on the theory that it is particularly desirable to enact such legislation as is necessary to protect youth from such material.
Testimony received also shows that too frequently parents are unaware of the availability of obscene literature and pictures to their children. It is not uncommon to find that there are places near schools or other places, where minors gather, where they can buy not only borderline publications, but also material of the most filthy type. In addition, the subcommittee received evidence that mailed advertisements for obscene material are sent to minors, their names apparently taken from mailing lists, or high school graduation lists.
Most witnesses indicated that it would be helpful to have separate provisions whereby there would be different tests for obscenity and/or different penalties depending upon whether the distribution is to adults or minors.
A few witnesses indicated that they believed a different standard is set up by Welfare and Institutions Code Section 702, which relates to contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Other witnesses, however, have indicated that they did not feel that it was the legislative intent to make the section cover obscene matter and that there are difficult problems of proof involved in utilizing Section 702 for that purpose.
2. Recommendations a. Greater penalties should be imposed on persons violating California's pornography laws when their activities involve minors than when only adults are involved.
b. A new section numbered "310.06" should be added to the proposed Chapter VII. 5 to read, substantially, as follows :
310.06. Use of Minors. Every person who, with knowledge that such minor is in any way aiding in the preparation, or distribution of obscene matter, or equipment, or who is in possession of such facts that he should reasonably know that such minor is in any way aiding in the preparation or distribution of obscene matter or equipment, hires, employs, uses, or who, having the care, custody, or control of any minor, permits any minor to do or assist in doing, any act or thing mentioned in Sections 310.02, 310.03, 310.04, or 310.05 is punishable as provided in Section 310.11. [Considered later in this report.]
I. Discussion It was recommended by various witnesses that it would be helpful to provide for issuance of an injunction to prevent distribution of obscene literature in view of the fact that California has no present legislation by which a person can be enjoined from distributing obscene literature. Such legislation could be modeled after the ]\Iassachusetts and New York laws. Under such a procedure the court, upon the filing of a complaint showing a cause of action, would issue a preliminary injunction. There would then be a trial to determine whether the injunction would be made permanent. There is some problem, however, as to whether the trier of fact at the trial should be a judge, jury, or panel of judges. Such injunctive proceedings would be in addition to possible criminal prosecution under the Penal Code pornography provisions.
Proponents believe that it would be very useful in reducing the dissemination of obscene literature. They also point out the obvious advantage to the distributor in that it would enable him to have a reasonably fast adjudication as to whether or not he is distributing obscene material. It was suggested that a provision could be included whereby an adjudication in the action that the matter was not obscene would be a bar to criminal prosecution for distributing that matter.

Roseville wrestler Jankovich is a few good men rolled into one
Jeremiah Miller marvels at Dylan Jankovich, his 130-pounder on Roseville High School's wrestling team.
"The funny part is he's such an accomplished kid that he doesn't do a lot of wrestling in the offseason," Miller said last Wednesday while Jankovich helped his Tigers teammates put away mats and other equipment following a Sierra Foothill League dual meet against Granite Bay. "Most kids that are as good as him wrestle year-round. Here, you have a good kid that wrestles a little in the offseason but does a lot of different stuff."
Jankovich (22-2) currently is on a Regional Occupation Program as an intern at Sutter Roseville Medical Center. Last summer, Jankovich said he attended Boys State at Sacramento State, went to West Point's camp and "tried to get in a little bit of offseason wrestling."
Jankovich's hard work was rewarded when he learned Jan. 8 of his acceptance to the United States Military Academy at West Point. The letter was in the mail when he arrived home with a second-place medal from the Big Valley Classic in Stockton. It was his 18th birthday.
"It almost looked like a diploma. It was a little packet thing," Jankovich said. "It was pretty cool."
Jankovich said he applied at about 20 colleges, including UCs, private schools, the Air Force Academy and West Point.
"I always really liked the military tradition. I want to give back to the country. I just really respect the military academies," said Jankovich, who plans to wrestle. "I've been working four years doing whatever I could hoping to get in there. It's finally paying off."
Miller pointed out that Jankovich is a great student and the hardest worker on the team.
"He's just an amazing kid in every facet," Miller said. "He has all the attributes it takes to be a really good leader."
Oakmont's Elliott wins title
Oakmont wrestler Jake Elliott won the 145-pound division at the Mark Fuller Invitational last weekend in Lincoln. Elliott went 4-0, including a victory over Keaton Subjeck of Oak Ridge, who's ranked fifth in the Sac-Joaquin Section.
Also for Oakmont, Yianni Athens went 4-1 and placed third in the 125-pound class. Athens defeated Taylor Unbehaun of Lincoln 9-8 in a tight match.

A few weeks ago, COLORS subscriber Ladd Cotton of Salt Lake City, Utah fired up his Smith Corona and typed us a letter about his FIELD NOTES customization projects. Ladd's been making hand-stitched leather covers and adding ledger information to each page for some adventurous friends and family. The other day, he followed up with an email and some photos:
Your memo books are secured in the inside back cover and there is a pocket for a fishing license, cash, or whatever else. With some use, the leather will develop a nice patina.
Fly-fishing with my brothers is probably my favorite thing in the world. We always have a friendly competition during these trips (First, Most, Largest). Mostly, we just like spending time on the river together and always leave it with a story that may not be directly related to the fishing. I wanted a tangible record mostly for whatever happened other than who caught the largest cutthroat.
My good friend Backpacks A Different State Every Year (BADSEY). He keeps details of the trip on a piece of scratch paper and then transfers the information to a digital record afterwards. I hope that he'll enjoy a log that he can hold in his hand, turn the pages, and see how it's aged nicely through all the years and all the states.
I've looked far and wide for an activity log. I wanted something with simple, classic looks, could fit in a pocket, and didn't make me feel like I was writing in a diary. Everything I found was either too complex, too large, or too commercial. Thank you for providing exactly what I wanted.
Thank you, Mr. Cotton, for showing us another great way to make FIELD NOTES even better and more personal!

EC to continue VAT exemption on electronic services
The European Commission intends extending the timeline for existing value-added tax (VAT) rules covering electronic services.
This Article Covers
The European Commission intends extending the timeline for existing value-added tax (VAT) rules covering electronic services.
The extension is proposed to make sure electronic services exported outside of the EU are still exempt from the tax.
The planned extension would operate until 31 December 2008. Rules applied from 2003 made sure electronic services bought for consumption outside the EU were exempt, but these rules are now due to expire.
The rules include TV and radio services, for instance.
Without an extension, the Commission warned previous rules before 2003 would apply, meaning such services would not be exempt.
This would mean that EU providers of such services would have to charge VAT and be at a disadvantage to other providers located outside the EU.
"I urge the EU Council of Ministers to rapidly reach an agreement on this extension. I cannot imagine we would revert to the rules prevailing before the e-commerce directive was introduced," said taxation commissioner Laszlo Kovacs.
Kovacs also wants the electronic services exemption to be made permanent.

We currently have two types of fantasy games for NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL - PickTheWinner and PickTheSeries (Playoffs).
They are both Pickem style games where you compete against your friends by trying to predict the winner of each week's match ups. You can also double down on games, earn achievements, limit the number of games that participants need to predict, and more.
Create a league now and invite your friends!
In a night where we had everything from Leon Sandcastle to a 34 minute power outage only one team stood tall, the Baltimore Ravens. Ray Lewis who is now a two time Super Bowl winner can go out on top much like John Elway, Jay Novacek and Michael Strahan. It all came down to a night that all football fans love and hate all at the same time. Yes we now have a new World Champion but football is now a long seven months away.
Baltimore led the entire game and it all started with the coin flip. I can't give enough credit for Joe Flacco's postseason performance as well as his Super Bowl MVP performance. Now I will go on record as saying I think Jacoby Jones was more deserving of the MVP but you can't go wrong with Flacco. Watching this team for their first five seasons under John Harbaugh you knew this was bound to happen. They made the playoffs every season since he took over this team. We can now say that Flacco is as elite as he said he was.
The Ravens rushed out to a 21-6 lead at halftime and then Jones took the second half kickoff 108 yards (tied Super Bowl record) to extend their lead to 28-6. The Ravens had everything going for them at that point. When you thought it couldn't get any worse for the 49ers the power went out at Mercedes-Benz stadium and this actually benefitted them. You could say that was the turning point in this game. Michael Crabtree caught a quick out from Colin Kaepernick shredded two would be tacklers for a 31 yard scamper for the score. In the span of five minutes Kaepernick would lead his team to within five points.
San Francisco did everything they could to claw back into this game in the third quarter and they did so in all three phases of the game. They had a big punt return from Ted Ginn Jr., a fumble recovery by Tarell Brown and a touchdown run by Frank Gore. Just moment before the lights going out it looked very bleak for the Niners.
We had a five point game going into the fourth quarter when Justin Tucker hit two huge field goals before and after a big touchdown run by Kaepernick. With under two minutes to go in the game it would all come down to one last drive by San Francisco, but what else would you expect from this team? As Niner fans know all too well this year it has been about slow starts, big deficits and huge comebacks under second-year quarterback.
This game was very enjoyable for all the momentum and storylines within this Super Bowl. It was a very physical and chippy. On more than one occasion the referees had to split up these two teams and if you didn't know better you would think the Ravens were their bitter rival. I am sure that Carey Williams will be hearing from league offices about his actions when he shoved an official. I won't say that the reason the Niners lost was due to questionable officiating; it is all about execution and they dug themselves in a big whole early.
This core of players that San Francisco has will make it a top team in the NFC for years to come. I really hope in the near future we get a rematch of these two teams. Congratulations to the Baltimore Ravens and John Harbaugh for an incredible season. Now the fun begins as every team will focus on getting to New York next season.

in Problem solving
Ive spent a day working in the garden today, and I noticed that alot of the plants which I have seen elsewhere standing tall and proud (eg verbena bonariensis, ammi amongst others) are, in my garden, rather too floppy. And then tonight, watching Gardeners World on the internet, Monty's cosmos were pert and upright whilst mine droop Am I lacking Pottasium in the soil as I have read somewhere? Or something else? And if there is a lack in the soil, when should I be treating it - can I do it now in the autumn? I usually mulch every spring with home made compost, but dont add much beyond the odd bit of liquid feed during the summer. Also we've been overseas for a few years and this is my first season back, so it might be that our tenants simply didnt manage the soil the way I would have done. Any ideas would be welcome, thanks
Maybe they just need some support - put some bushy twigs in during the spring http://apps.rhs.org.uk/advicesearch/profile.aspx?pid=672 .
Also, I once had a north-facing garden where some plants got a bit long and leggy - could this be a problem for you?
I always support cosmos and bonariensis. It's a lomg growing season here, early too, so most things do get tall. I do 2 things. Firstly, in mid spring to late spring I cut back to make bushier plants. Then in early summer I support the main stems of bonariensis . My plants are (6' plus tall and stand up,to anything). Cosmos grown in the richer parts of my garden are also supported.
Come the autumn most plants tend to want to flop a little ..more moisture in the stems, still extending, etc.
No, I wouldn't add any potassium.
One point though......I,found that plants grown for the first time in a certain area will grow bigger but in subsequent years grow less vigorously. In a new border made last winter everything planted there has been enormous. I'm not expecting the same vigour next year
Also, Monty's show was filmed about 3 weeks ago I think, so maybe your flowers have just come to an end, for this season at least, the cosmos wont grow again but you will be inundated with little verbena bons next year!.
Thank you. I did support the verbena and it still went lazy on me! But I do take your points about it being late in the year, and as the plants went in new this year after I returned it might be that they didnt properly 'bed in'. I'll see how they go next year.
I do appreciate the advice!
All the advice sounds good adam - just another thought- are they a bit dry? Those plants are usually in sunny spots so if the soil's sharp and free draining they may just need some extrs watering. Some of my taller plants have been a bit droopy as it's been very dry here recently.
Good point fairy. Not just a pretty face Many people seem to regard bonariensis as dry soil plants but actually they...and most verbenas......need reasonable moisture supplies
Think they do like to be kept watered, I have some, - mine aren't floppy

Critics may be getting hot and bothered this week over the premiere of Kevin Smith's Zack and Miri Make a Porno, but the current list of cameos by adult film stars in mainstream cinema is already as long as Dirk Diggler's flesh sabre.
With the internet floodgate opening wide, porn has found a way into the rooms and lives of anyone that knows how to click a mouse, assuming that is what you're doing when you watch it. Add the fact that over a quarter of home-video revenue comes from the adult film industry at 4.2 billion dollars a year, and it's not too difficult to see why porn stars are becoming household names.
So why put porn stars into films? Well, for starters it gives a director a sense of street credibility. Spike Lee dropped some adult film knowledge on hoop enthusiasts by putting Vivid girls Chasey Lain and Jill Kelly in He Got Game, leading all Catholics watching the film to whisper Hail Marys when considering that the two co-eds would scream, "Jesus!" while sandwiched between Ray Allen.
Rob Zombie is no stranger to controversy, so it was only natural to have Ginger Lynn nail a clown in The Devil's Rejects. In fact, I'd have been disappointed if he didn't have her in that film. I wasn't old enough to ever see any of her films, but she carries a reputation that, well, let's just say is worth a mouthful.
Another reason to place porn stars in prominent roles is a pretty simple one, they fit the part. Peter Berg killed off his adult film starlet, Kobe Tai, who played a stripper in Very Bad Things, the Coen Brothers dropped Mensa member Asia Carrera into The Big Lebowski as a, wait for it, porn star, and Juli Ashton made jaws drop in Trey Parker and Matt Stone's Orgazmo as a … porn star. My question is – why wouldn't you want to put an adult film star in these roles? Would you cast Cedric the Entertainer to be in a basketball movie? No, you'd cast Michael Jordan, the greatest baller of all-time. So it only makes sense when it comes to sex you'd also cast the greatest ballers of all-time Okay, some idiotic director may cast Cedric the Entertainer, but not me. Kevin Smith understands this idea, it's why he cast Katie Morgan and classic porn star Traci Lords in Zack and Miri. Both actresses have made their rounds … in mainstream film and television. Morgan recently appeared on "Entourage" and Lords deserves a paragraph of her own. So let's give it to her. Damn, everything comes out sexual doesn't it?
Traci Lords may be one of the most taboo adult film stars, and I use the term adult very loosely. The majority of her porn films were made while Traci was underage. However, you can check her out in a plethora of cameos and major roles alike. Lords' most famous film cameo previously was probably as a vampiress in Blade, but she is better known for her role in John Waters's Cry-Baby and her television run. She's been on "MacGyver", "Married with Children" (a guest starring appearance I saw when I was a child and may very well have been my first awkward moment), "Gilmore Girls", "Will and Grace", "Roseanne", and "Melrose Place". She may have been an adult film queen in the 80s but she has shaken that title, also stepping into the music scene. Adult film star or not, she also is one of the prettiest women I have ever seen.
Some adult film stars have become so popular that they've had documentaries made about them. Ron Jeremy, the star of such classic adult film titles as Honey We Blew up Your Pussy 2, defies all rules of attraction with his ability to get laid. He also ranks in the top tier of porn stars who have made cameos. Consider this, Jeremy has been in Boondock Saints, Ronin (his scenes didn't make the cut), Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV, Orgazmo, and is set to show up in Whore (which Transformers' Megan Fox appears in) and Crank 2 with another porn star, Jenna Haze. It's only a matter of time before "The Hedgehog", as Jeremy has been nicknamed, makes his way into a Pixar film.
And whether you're an adult film-watcher or not, you have to know who Jenna Jameson is. Her role in Howard Stern's Private Parts ranks as one of the most tantalizing cameos ever. Jameson is perhaps the most recognizable figure in adult film and is set on making her way to mainstream cinema. Imagine that, you can watch Jenna without having to lock your bedroom door! And you said miracles don't happen. Tsk Tsk.
It seems only logical to loosen up a bit and accept the fact that adult film stars are making more cameos now than Adam Sandler is making bad films. Let's face it, America is conflicted about it, but no other subject sells as much as sex. It's everywhere and whether we want to admit it or not, we love it. And look on the bright side, if you're not comfortable watching an adult film you can always get an appetizer by watching the biggest names in porn show up in some of your favorite mainstream masterpieces. And don't be afraid to point out that you know who they are. The time where you had to pretend you didn't watch porn is disappearing. Hopefully it will be replaced with a healthy helping of intelligent discussion, an ability to accept sexuality for what it is, and an understanding that you can't stop the rise of adult stars making their break into the mainstream. Sit back, relax, and enjoy it. You will later tonight anyway.

Noxious Weeds: Less Common: Hoary Cress
Hoary Cress·
Hoary Cress · Cardaria draba (L.) Desv. · (aka whitetop, whiteweed, and perennial peppergrass) is a perennial Forb that originated in Eurasia. It flowers from April through June, and reproduces through rhizomes and seeds.
Found in pastures, smallgrain fields, roadsides, ravines, meadows, and waste places, livestock will graze hoary cress, but only when better forage is unavailable. Its seed are eaten by ground-foraging birds. The foilage of hoary cress contains a substance causing irritation to mucous membranes of animals. It is only a problem when forage is in short supply.
Hoary cress is an aggressive weed that often forms large, dense stands which are difficult to eradicate or control.

Attack of the Career-Killing Blogs
When academics post online, do they risk their jobs?
Click here to read more from Slate's "College Week."
"Here goes nothing. I shouldn't be doing this. I'll be going up for tenure soon,"reads the first post of the blog that University of Chicago political scientist Daniel Drezner started in September 2002. Sure enough, this past October, Drezner was denied tenure. And although his department claimed that blogging hadn't been a factor in the decision, junior academics across the blogosphere were traumatized. Drezner had seemed a top candidate. He has impeccable credentials (two masters degrees and a Ph.D. from Stanford); his essays appear in the top journals of his profession; and his next book will be published by Princeton University Press.
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of academics keep blogs these days, posting everything from family pictures to scholarly works-in-progress. While few are counting on their Web publications to improve their chances at tenure, many have begun to fear that their blogs might actually harm their prospects. Last July, "Bloggers Need Not Apply," an essay in the Chronicle of Higher Education about an anonymous Midwestern college's attempt to fill a position, laid out the perils for academic job-seekers who blog. "Our blogger applicants came off reasonably well at the initial interview, but once we hung up the phone and called up their blogs, we got to know 'the real them'—better than we wanted, enough to conclude we didn't want to know more," wrote the pseudonymous columnist.
But academics aren't just concerned about the public display of an applicant's personal eccentricities. Many perceive blogs as evidence of a scholar's lack of seriousness. Shouldn't he be putting more time into scholarship, they wonder, and less into his blog? And if a blogger does have something serious to say, why is he presenting it in a superficial medium, rather than a peer-reviewed journal?
At the same time, it is hardly a secret that lots of peer-reviewed material and articles in prestigious academic reviews are neither very good nor widely read, while some of what appears on academic blogs is of high quality and has a large readership (some of it, obviously, isn't and doesn't). So, it's worth taking a closer look at the question: How can a system that ostensibly cares only about the quality of one's arguments and research automatically include the former and exclude the latter?
In many respects, Drezner's predicament was merely a cyber-version of an age-old dilemma. Whether online or off, the kind of accessible and widely read work that brings an academic public recognition is likely to draw the scorn and suspicion of his colleagues. Furthermore, so-called public-intellectual work won't count for much when it comes time to decide whether one gets tenure. In most disciplines at large research universities, tenure is directly related to the number of peer-reviewed books and articles one publishes. Teaching and community service are factored in but are usually far less important than one's publishing record. "For the time being," says John Holbo, an assistant professor of philosophy at the National University of Singapore and the founder of a group blog called The Valve, the most academic bloggers will receive is "a bit of 'service' credit, for raising the department's profile."
On the one hand, some resistance to the proliferation of blogs is understandable. The value of academic culture is that it stands apart from the ephemeral marketplace. Universities are by their very nature culturally conservative and slow to change. The odd situation would actually have been if universities had automatically embraced blogging. Holbo suggests that from one perspective, blogging is an affront to the traditional idea of the university. "You want to graft this onto the last living medieval guild system?" he imagines a senior scholar protesting.
But in another sense, academic blogging represents the fruition, not a betrayal, of the university's ideals. One might argue that blogging is in fact the very embodiment of what the political philosopher Michael Oakshott once called "The Conversation of Mankind"—an endless, thoroughly democratic dialogue about the best ideas and artifacts of our culture. Drezner's blog, for example, is hardly of the "This is what I did today …" variety. Rather, he usually writes about globalization and political economy—the very subjects on which he publishes in prestigious, peer-reviewed presses and journals. If his prose style in the blog is more engaging than that of the typical academic's, the thinking behind it is no less rigorous or intelligent.
To take only one other example, John Hawks, an assistant anthropology professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, posts three to five essays a week on subjects like evolutionary theory. He writes about science with the breadth of the late Stephen Jay Gould and doesn't see a big difference between most of his online and offline output. "Much of what I write online is scholarly. When I review an issue in human evolution, it is a genuine review. If I criticize something, I back it up," he says. Indeed, his essays are festooned with citations.
So, might blogging be subversive precisely because it makes real the very vision of intellectual life that the university has never managed to achieve?

Our View: Thumbs Up: Tree decision is right move for DeKalb
Thumbs up: To the DeKalb City Council's decision not to implement new rules on cutting or removing trees. For the past few months, DeKalb leaders have struggled with their options for protecting trees in the wake of ComEd clear-cutting trees along the Nature Trail – a 1.5-mile prairie path located between Sycamore Road and First Street. City officials do not have the authority to regulate ComEd in its easement, and DeKalb aldermen were reluctant to regulate trees on private property without a compelling safety reason. It's great to see anyone in government decide against pursuing an issue that is beyond their authority. It's much more common these days for government to find ways to expand their authority into any and all issues. We appreci

StubHub Announces Integration With Apple Passbook
StubHub, the world's largest ticket marketplace, today announced that its app for iPhone and iPod touch supports Apple's Passbook. The integration allows fans to store select event tickets purchased on StubHub into Passbook, enabling them to use their iPhone or iPod touch as their ticket into events. Last year StubHub introduced mobile barcode tickets with select sports team partners, and the integration with Apple's Passbook will give iPhone and iPod touch users another option to access mobile tickets. The University of Texas and Purdue University are StubHub's first clients to integrate Passbook into their mobile ticket offering."StubHub has always used innovation to give fans more freedom and convenience to enjoy live events, and we will continue to develop technology and work with those that share this vision," said Chris Tsakalakis, President of StubHub. "Through our integration with Apple's Passbook, fans will not only be able to use their iPhone or iPod touch to store their tickets, but to enter an event as well." Through Passbook, users have the convenience of keeping all of their boarding passes, event tickets, coupons, loyalty cards and more stored in one place. The technology is simple for fans to use. Once they purchase a ticket through StubHub's Passbook-enabled app, they have the option to "Add to Passbook." Once the ticket is added to Passbook, fans can easily access their stored tickets to see when an upcoming event is taking place and where their seats are located. Plus, Passbook is time and location enabled, so the ticket will appear on the device's lock screen as a fan approaches the venue, ready for the ticket to be scanned at the gate. The StubHub app is available for free from the App Store on iPhone or iPod touch, or at www.itunes.com/appstore.

A North Carolina textile company said it closed two plants and laid off 200 workers this week because it couldn't find the credit to keep going.
Spectrum Yarns Inc. blamed the credit crunch in a letter to state authorities announcing the mass layoffs. Company president C. Douglas Blanchard said managers tried to find financing until Monday, then closed plants in Marion and Kings Mountain on Tuesday.
Hubert Johnson, manager of the Kings Mountain plant, said Thursday that without the money to make payroll or buy dyes and yarns, the company was out of choices. Blanchard's letter also said the South Carolina company that was its primary yarn supplier last week suddenly stopped shipping materials to Spectrum Yarns.

Previewing RS400; ATI's Unique Positionby Kristopher Kubicki on July 23, 2004 8:52 PM EST
- Posted in
- CPUs
As ATI begins to distribute Non Disclosure Agreements for its upcoming core logic, we though we would fill in the blanks before too much information gets thrown under the carpet (until launch date that is).
The major advantage of RS400 over RS350 is the adoption of a real DirectX 9 IGP. Even though RS350 utilizes a Radeon 9100 Pro for IGP, it is still technically DX8.1. RS400 will integrate the Radeon 9600 Non-Pro GPU onboard, which should give Intel's 915G a run for its money. If ATI's roadmaps are to be trusted, this is a bit of a surprise for us. Our original roadmaps in April market RS480 to launch with DX8.1 instead of DX9. Unfortunately, graphics performance is only the secondary function of an IGP chipset, and thus the northbridge must be up to snuff. ATI's memory controller has been its downfall many times before in the past.
ATI originally claimed DDR2-667 support in time for the RS400 launch so we are in eager anticipation if ATI can deliver this expectation before Intel. Intel has moved its DDR2-667 deployment until Q1'05, but we have to take that deployment with a grain of salt; 925XE sampling starts next week and the next Intel chipset for release after that is scheduled for Q2'05.
One interesting development is the release of three separate RS400 chipsets; RS400 will continue to act as the dual channel high end solution. RC400 will act as the next step down, with only a single channel memory controller, and then RU400 will be the final low end model with a single channel memory controller and unified memory architecture for the IGP. All RS400 derivatives support DDR2 and DDR1, but no AGP ports.
There are a few things to notice here; one thing have changed since our RS400 announcement several months ago. A-Link II has been replaced by two PCIe lanes so technically the RS400 northbridge is capable of 22 PCIe lanes (1 x16 and 4 x1 lanes). Also notice the lack of a next generation audio codec. Even though the Radeon 9600 is a significant upgrade AC'97 does not look very impressive next to Azalia, Envy and SoundStorm 2.
DDR2-667 is already hitting shelves; will ATI capitalize on their unique position to beat Intel (and perhaps SiS) first to market with official 667MHz memory support?

Reviews for Sword of the Stars: Complete Collection [Legacy]
Nice for RTS fans.dark2025 | Sept. 21, 2012 | See all dark2025's reviews »
A fun space RTS game with some very unique races and a very in-depth research tree. Empire management is simple enough, but the interface could use some work. Combat on the other hand, that can get a little tricky. Still, if you're a fan of space RTSs like Sins of a Solar Empire, then you should give this one a chance. Having all the expansions are nice too since there are many additions that make the base game better.
Sinshotmando1 | Aug. 13, 2011 | See all hotmando1's reviews »
Looking for an alternative to games like Sins of a solar empire? Then you'll find yourself pleased with Sword of the Star. Think of Sword as a game with more focus on the action part, less about the economy and such. What's better? It's RTs as well, so you'll feel right in. Did I mention you get to suit up your own ships, even up to how they look? Really, this game is more about fun instead of skill. It's for people that want ships to fire laser beams nonstop. Not to mention the fantastic plot that trails behind it! Visually speaking..it is pretty sweet. Not annoying or too old for anyone! Has a little cartoony feel to it though. Good buy!
A great addition to your strategy collection!!Xbomborz | Aug. 9, 2011 | See all Xbomborz's reviews »
Sword of the Stars: Complete Collection is an amazing set of Sword of the Stars and its expansion that continue its great story, artful gameplay, and beautiful design assests. Filled with random events, action packed gameplay, a great score and voicework, and nonstop fun, Sword of the Stars: Complete Collection is a wonderful addition to any strategy fan's collection.
Nice Space Strategy!etnies | Aug. 9, 2011 | See all etnies's reviews »
The game is an RTS, game set in space. You have ships to command and have to try the defeat the enemies. There are lots of features included in this collection that will leave you with many thing to do. The graphics aren't too bad and the voice acting is alright as well. If you are looking for a RTS in space take a look at this one.

his smile…
Posted August 4, 2011on:
she could have sworn that smile was for her. she could have sworn that he had smiled at the sight of her walking through the doors. but she wasn't going to let that happen again. she was older, she was wiser, she now recognised the way in which her mind and heart had always tricked her in the past.
she didn't dare look at him. she looked up, down, stared out the window, down at the table in front of her…anywhere but at him…which proved quite difficult with him standing on the stage in front of her. but she was determined. if she looked at him and he was looking at her, she would do something stupid…like smile…and give away her feelings…so she focused on not looking at him.
"why did i agreed to come to this gig with kelly in the first place?" she wondered. "this is definitely not condusive to getting over him."
as the last notes of the last song rang out she knew it was time to get going.
"oh come on, there's one more band…please let's stay" kelly begged
she was in the middle of going through all the excuses why they couldn't stay when she heard that voice…
the voice that had the power to somehow make her heart stop and beat faster simultaneously
the voice she had fallen in love with over 5 years ago
the voice she thought she'd wake up next to for the rest of her life…at least until last month when he told her that it wasn't working for him anymore.
she turned around to see the eyes that went with that voice looking at her, and in that moment she knew she would forever be in love with that smile…

Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.This kinetic sculpture bridges the physical and digital. "The prototype is a vase than can change shape -- it has little joints that adjust their width," David Lakatos, a member of the MIT media Lab's Tangible Media group, says. "And once they change width, you can start creating contours -- you can re-form it, in both the physical and the digital worlds."In the physical world, a sensor above the vase recognises gestures and creates a 3D model, allowing you to shape it as you would clay. In the digital world, an iPad app allows Lakatos to alter the sculpture's properties wherever he happens to be. "With the app, you can be extremely precise about how the form will change," he says. "But, ultimately, sculptors look at something, carve away at it, then look at it again. You need the 3D feeling to do that." Lakatos plans to build a series of the sculptures, which he sees as a natural next step in UI design: "We already live in a world of shape-shifting interfaces: a door that opens for you -- that's a shape-changing interface on an architectural scale, because it creates a door where there wasn't one before."

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, Jan. 6, 2014
AUGUSTA, GA (WRDW) -- Members of congress, other lawmakers and even one physician converged on Charlie Norwood VA Hospital.
They were asking questions and looking for answers surrounding delays and deaths of three veterans at the facility due to a lack of proper care.
"We have an obligation to our veterans to give them the best care possible," Congressman John Barrow said.
Something that Barrow said did not happen for those veterans and others who waited months and months for colonoscopies and other medical procedures.
"When you start talking about a backlog that's hundreds of veterans in numbers, something's not working right. Somebody did not catch it," said Jeff Miller, Florida Representative and Chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
Miller led the group through the facility as part of an executive level briefing. A first step in learning what led to the problems.
"I know the director here has apologized for the deaths and injuries that have occurred. That was an appropriate thing," Miller said.
But last month Norwood Director Robert Hamilton stopped just short of holding specific individuals responsible for the deaths and delays.
"That's one thing the VA is not very good at and that's holding people accountable. They will move people around they won't fire people they won't discipline people," Miller said.
He says it had to be a management issue and however many are responsible they will be held accountable.
"Our goal here is to make sure what happened here never happens again," Barrow said.
Lawmakers say Monday's visit was the first in a series of inquires that will be conducted to determine those responsible for the previous backlog of medical procedures and those three deaths.

Osteoimmunopathology pertains to the study of the relationship between the bones,particularly the bone marrow, and the immune system. Th is monograph pursues thebest available evidence, by means of research synthesis, for the characterization of thephysiological relevance and pathological implications of the inter-connectedness betweenthe skeletal and the immune system. Research will be discussed that highlights the associatedrole of the circulatory, nervous and endocrine systems, as well as proteomic andgenomic pathways and signatures. Emphasis is given to the oral cavity, its diseases, andtheir systemic sequelae. Th is monograph arises from observations that have suggestedthat the skeletal system and the immune system are intimately intertwined. Chronicinfl ammatory reactions subsequent to an excessive immune reaction can damage thebones, as in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoporosis, patients seropositive for thehuman immunodefi ciency virus http://call-for-papers.sas.upenn.edu/filter/tips(HIV)-1 and with signs and symptoms of the acquiredimmune defi ciency syndrome (AIDS), and bone cancer. Bones – in particular the bonemarrow – are one of the primary locations in which cells of the immune system mature.In brief, this monograph begins to answer a range of questions, such as:

It's important that your child's doctor is experienced in treating children with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) or works in consultation with a JMML specialist. This type of specialist is usually called a hematologist oncologist.
Stem cell transplantation is the most common treatment for JMML. Standard chemotherapy, despite its intensity, has helped only a small number of patients. Some patients have reacted favorably to 13-cis-retinoic acid therapy (Accutane®). The drug has been able to stabilize the disease and bring it into a partial remission.
Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
An allogeneic stem cell transplantation offers the only known cure for JMML and is widely used to treat the disease. Up to 50 percent of patients have achieved long-term survival, but up to 30 percent to 40 percent of those patients have suffered relapses.
Although it's not the only type of stem cell transplantation, allogeneic stem cell transplantation is the most common. Allogeneic transplantation involves transferring stem cells from a healthy person (the donor) to the patient. The procedure follows high-intensity chemotherapy, potent drugs that must be toxic enough to kill leukemic cells. Unfortunately, the drugs also take aim at normal stem cells in the bone marrow.
The main reasons for doing an allogeneic stem cell transplant are to:
- Give strong doses of chemotherapy to kill JMML cells
- Start a new supply of red cells, white cells and platelets with help from the transplanted donor stem cells
Some patients undergo a second allogeneic transplantation. A second transplantation can be effective when used with reduced immunosuppression. This method presumably helps donor immune cells better fight the disease. This attack is called the graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effect.
Clinical Trials
Taking part in a clinical trial may be a good treatment choice for your child. Clinical trials are under way to help extend survival and increase the quality of life for juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) patients. Today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society continues to invest funds in JMML research.
Clinical trials can involve new drugs, new combinations of drugs or approved drugs being studied to treat patients in new ways such as new drug doses or new schedules to administer the drugs. Clinical trials are conducted worldwide under rigorous guidelines to help doctors find out whether new cancer treatments are safe and effective or better than the standard treatment.
Current JMML Research and Clinical Trials
Below are some examples of research and trials for new or improved drug therapies and other treatment under way:
- Etanercept (Enbrel®). Scientists are studying the effects of the drug etanercept on relapsed JMML patients. The drug blocks a hormone called the tumor necrosis factor, which plays a role in helping JMML cells grow. Etanercept is currently used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
- Tipifarnib (Zarnestra®). Tipifarnib is a type of drug called a farnesyl transferase inhibitor. It works by blocking enzymes needed by cancer cells to form. A clinical trial conducted by the Children's Oncology Group, a childhood cancer research organization, has shown tipifarnib to be significantly effective.
- Second allogeneic stem cell transplantation. A second transplantation can be effective for JMML patients who have relapsed after a first transplant.
Finding the Best Treatment Approach
There is no one standard treatment for JMML that's used or accepted throughout the international medical community. However, two widely used JMML treatment protocols (practice guidelines) are based on studies by two groups:
- The Children's Oncology Group (COG) JMML Study in North America. COG is the world's largest childhood cancer research organization and supported by the National Cancer Institute.
- The European Working Group of MDS (EWOG-MDS) and JMML in Childhood Study. EWOG-MDS is an international cooperative study group.
As you develop a treatment plan with your child's doctor, be sure to discuss:
- The results you can expect from treatment
- Potential side effects, including late-term effects and long-term effects
- The possibility of participating in a clinical trial, where your child will have access to advanced medical treatment that may be more beneficial than standard treatment
You may find it helpful to bring a loved one with you to your doctor's visits for support and to take notes and ask follow-up questions. It's a good idea to prepare questions you'd like to ask when you visit your doctor. You can also record your conversations with your doctor and listen more closely when you get home.

Using v=d/t to find diameters of stars
The geometry of the eclipsing X-ray binary problem
To simplify the problem, we make two assumptions when we use this method:
- The orbit of the X-ray emitting star is circular and its
velocity is constant.
- The orbit of the observed star is large and the system is
distant, so that light rays from the source are parallel.
- The plane of the binary system is at 90 degrees, edge on to our line of sight. (The actual orbit is at 83 degrees.)

Shop More, Weigh Less? Research Shows Women Burn 7 Marathons Worth Of Calories Per Year ShoppingTracey Gaughran
Good news, shopaholics! New research shows that your addiction may be helping you lose weight (or at least be helping you stay at your current weight).
A new study of women in the United Kingdom has revealed that while shopping, women burn 15,000 calories (the equivalent of 7 marathons) and walk 180 miles on average every year. Good news, right?
Not so fast, fashionista.
The study also shows that fully a third of women eat away the benefits of their shopping workout while shopping – consuming over 250 calories during their retail therapy (with one in ten consume up to 1,000 calories), making the calorie burn of shopping irrelevant. (Clearly, these women aren't shopping at Abercrombie and Fitch or American Apparel, beacons of shopping mall fat-shaming. *headdesk*)
Take away: steer clear of Starbucks, Orange Julius, and food courts during your shopping sojourns, people. Just sayin'.
On the upside for those of us looking to maximize our shopping-calorie burning potential, 7 per cent of women claimed to be so worried about fitting into clothes on a shopping trip that they significantly curtailed their eating beforehand. No word on how that percentage might change during swimsuit season, but my guess (from personal experience/abject terror) is that this percentage rises SIGNIFICANTLY once the weather gets warmer. Just a theory.
What do you think of this new research? And are you a snacker-while-shopping, or do you have the willpower to shop and say no to delicious, tempting frappuccinos while doing it?

text: Mystery fluid could have stopped BP oil spill Science 08 February 11 by Lisa Grossman Flickr/thatmushroom A mixture of cornstarch and water best known for entertaining school children could have plugged the spewing Macondo oil well in the Gulf of Mexico, say physicists.Where regular drilling mud failed to stop the flow, oobleck -- a complex fluid that seems to switch between liquid and solid -- succeeded in simulations published January 31 in Physical Review Letters."We couldn't do a full scale experiment on a real well that was blowing out 50,000 barrels a day, but to the extent that you can do a smaller experiment in the laboratory it's basically the same physics," said physicist Jonathan Katz of Washington University in St. Louis. "And it seems to work."Last May, three weeks after an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig left an open well gushing thousands of barrels of oil into the Gulf, the Department of Energy convened a group of independent experts to help stop the flow.BP, which owned the well, planned to pump heavy drilling mud into the well in a project called "top kill." The plan was for dense mud to sink through the oil and clog the bottom of the pipe. Top kill had worked for other blowouts, where the oil flowed more slowly. But the DOE group saw almost immediately that for Macondo, top kill would fail.Like paint or ketchup, mud used in drilling thins when it flows quickly, Katz explained. Usually that's an advantage, because thinning mud is easier to pump into a well. But if the oil comes out too fast, and two fluids with different densities rush past each other, turbulence takes over. Whorls and eddies form.Oil gushed out of Macondo at 3.7 metres per second, causing enough chaos to break up the mud into tiny, useless droplets. "It was sufficiently fast to break up anything descending into small droplets, and sweep them back up and spit them out the top," said Katz, who was part of the DOE team. "That's what ruined the top kill."But even as BP made plans for its doomed top kill, Katz wondered whether oobleck might do the trick.The half-water, half-cornstarch goop is named after the Dr. Seuss book Bartholomew and the Oobleck, and its quick-change artistry between liquid and solid makes it a kitchen science classic. When it's flowing slowly, oobleck can drip through your fingers as a liquid. But when oobleck flows quickly, it turns suddenly thick, almost solid. YouTube is full of people running across pools of oobleck, and sinking when they run too slowly. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

How do I complete a NC drivers license renewal online? North Carolina
Drivers License Renewal
North Carolina residents may not renew a driver license online. A North Carolina drivers license renewal always requires a vision test and a written test, therefore you must head into a DMV office.
How long the drivers license lasts depends on your age.
- Ages 18-53 are issued for 8 years.
- Ages 54 and up are issued for 5 years.
- The fee is $4 per year, so it will either cost you $32 or $20.
Before the drivers license expires, the DMV will send a renewal notice reminding you the time has come. Then, make an appointment at a DMV office. You can do this 60 days ahead of the expiration date.
- Bring the renewal card, if you have it. This is not a requirement.
- Bring your Social Security card, unless the DMV already has it on file. If you don't qualify for a Social Security card, bring a government document noting your legal presence in the U.S.
- Bring your old drivers license. If you do not have it, you'll have to bring two other forms of ID.
- Bring your proof of insurance.
- Take the written and visual exams. You may also be required to take a road driving test.
Because so many years elapse between renewals, it might be a good idea to take a written practice test on the current traffic laws before you head in. You can purchase multiple choice tests from online drivers ed companies.
NC now mails all of its drivers licenses. They'll issue you a temporary license.
Expired License
- If your license has expired less than a year ago, the procedure is the same to renew it. There are no special steps to take. Bring in your old license to serve as ID.
- If your license expired more than one year ago, you must apply for a new driver license.
However, if you are caught driving with an expired license, you'll get a traffic ticket, so be sure to come in before your license expires.
Expired License When Outside the State
- You're on active duty military service outside of NC or
- You're out of the state for 30 or more days,
then you may renew the license through the mail. However, you must contact the DMV first to see if you qualify. There is an online contact form, or you can call 919-715-7000.

Australia Urged Not To Send More Children To Manus Island
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Radio New Zealand International, Feb. 4, 2013) – Australia is being urged not to send any more children to its detention camp for asylum seekers on Papua New Guinea's Manus Island until it has made significant improvements to the conditions.
A report by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) following last month's visit to the camp has found that the facility does not meet the standards required under international human rights law.
The UNHCR's Regional Representative, Richard Towle, says no system has been set up to process people's claims for refugee status and families are not allowed to leave the camp.
"The overall combination of a lack of legal framework, tough and sometimes harsh physical conditions, reinforces the fact that children for the time being shouldn't be in this place and no further children should be transferred until these arrangements have really been improved qualitatively and legally."
Richard Towle says many other countries have unsatisfactory arrangements for dealing with refugees, but he says Australia is the only one forcibly transferring people from one refugee convention country to another to face indefinite and arbitrary detention.

While the snow forced many Greenville businesses to remain closed Sunday, others decided to go ahead and open.
Employees at Golden Corral said they had a small breakfast crowd of about 50 people and stayed open. Five Guys was open for business as well. Despite the weather, manager James Hewitt says the restaurant wanted to at least provide the opportunity for people venturing out.
"There's gonna be a lot of places closed, but we want to be open for the people out and about. I know a lot of churches are closed and we usually have an after church lunch crowd; but we are open and I want to support the businesses that are open in town today and we're here if anybody needs us."

Greeting the media yesterday, Jim Calhoun talked about NCAA Tournaments past and the evolution of the game, pointing out that it makes little difference what teams are seeded beyond the top few.
One writer then said, "I'm going to follow up, even though you said you throw seeding out. The 5-12, 4-13, we've seen a lot of upsets in recent years."
Calhoun's response: "I was in a good mood about five minutes ago, but go ahead ..."
UConn (14-0 heading into Friday) is one of two schools to have an undefeated record in the NCAA first round since 1990. Kentucky (16-0) is the other. The Huskies are 25-3 in first- and second-round games. ... Camels can run up to 40 MPH, but only for a short time. I learned that watching CNBC this morning. ... UConn came into the Tournament 6-6 against the field (1-1 vs. Notre Dame and West Virginia, 1-0 against Pittsburgh, Louisville, Marquette and Indiana, and 0-1 against Memphis, Gonzaga, Georgetown and Villanova.) ... UConn is looking to win 25 games for the 11th time under Jim Calhoun. UConn's record for wins before Calhoun's arrival was 23 before the 1989-90 team went 31-6. ... UConn is 40-25 in 27 NCAA Tournament appearances. ... Duke-Belmont was a hoot, wasn't it? ... If Hasheem Thabeet leaves for the NBA, expect UConn to sign a junior college player to replace him in the paint. ... San Diego point guard Brandon Johnson on UConn point guard A.J. Price: "I think he's a great player. I've watched him on a couple of games over the year, and on ESPN a couple times we caught a couple games during the year. I think he's just an aggressive guard. He's one of the top guards in the country. And you've got to respect his game. He's got a nice jumper and everything. Gets his team involved. So we've just got to go out there and try to play them solidly, and hopefully we can stop them." ... Media buffet at 6 p.m. ... Prediction: UConn 80, San Diego 63. Stanley Robinson: 17 points, nine rebounds.
