A Tallahassee high school is going high tech for its upcoming production of the Who's Tommy.
The show opens at Lincoln High School tonight.
It not only features Who classics like I'm Free and Pinball Wizard; it splashes projections and animation all over the auditorium.
The choral director says he even got a Facebook message from Who guitarist Pete Townshend.
"Break a leg Lincoln and Tallahassee Tommy, and in parentheses it said sounds like Merle Haggard song. So Pete Townshend sent us a shout out, which for me is amazing. He's my idol - this is the music I grew up with," said Scott Leaman, Choral Director.
A guest lighting designer and projection designer are trying to make it an unforgettable show.
It starts tonight at 7:30 in the Lincoln High Auditorium, and you can see it again tomorrow or Saturday, same time.

Respond to Review of Health's
by pradipd
Review: Even though I am getting quite fed up and tired of these monotonous buffet vegetarian restaurants all over Brazil, I keep trying new ones because honestly, vegetarian food in this country is at a premium. There are no gourmet or fine dining type of restaurants, the kind one finds in the USA or most of Europe, there are hardly any Indian restaurants, and with language a real barrier, one is never sure what one is eating if one is not really careful. Any way, on the first day in Rio, we ended up at Health's for lunch since we were in the neighbourhood. No one spoke or understood English, the place was packed, it is in the middle of a busy office area, and the place was husge. Upon entry, one is given is a slip that lists various options (salad, soup, desserts, juices, plated meals etc.) The first floor is a vegetarian floor, and the second floor is primarily dead animals. We figured this out from the slip given to us. The buffet choice consisted mainly of salad components, with almost no cooked item. Soup, juice, plated items etc are to be ordered after one is seated. The waitress will indicate on the slip whatever one has taken, including the salad. The buffet is a fixed price and not by weight. The buffet was boring and uninviting, the tomato soup was good (it comes with a large basket of toasted bread), the juice was refreshing. Our waitress made every effort to help us once she realized we did not understand Portuguese. Avoid this place because 1. it has dead animals as well (even though they are on a different floor) and 2. teh choices are boring and dull.

National Center for Health Statistics activities of daily living aging child health chronic illnesses disabilities health health care health insurance health services utilization home health care life expectancy long term care morbidity nursing homes older adults The Second Longitudinal Study of Aging (LSOA II) is a collaborative effort of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the National Institute on Aging (NIA). The NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY, 1994: SECOND SUPPLEMENT ON AGING (SOA II) (ICPSR 2563) serves as the baseline for this study. LSOA II, Wave 3 consists of 7,936 survivor interviews and 906 decedent interviews in two data files: the Survivor File (Part 1) and the Decedent File (Part 2). The Survivor File contains one record for each sample person (N = 9,447) interviewed at baseline and includes information drawn from several additional sources, including the 1994 National Health Interview Survey (ICPSR 6724) core questionnaire, the 1994 National Health Interview Survey: Family Resources Supplement (ICPSR 2656), Phase I of the 1994 National Health Interview Survey on Disability (ICPSR 2539), and the SOA II baseline interview (ICPSR 2563). Wave 3 questions (beginning at variable SF3664) examined migration, convalescent home utilization, nutrition, influenza immunization, mammogram, prostate, and cholesterol screenings, routine use of vitamins, aspirin, calcium supplements, and antioxidants, and detailed questions on home health care utilization. In addition, a random one-quarter sample of the follow-up respondents were chosen to complete the Childhood Health and Family Longevity Module. This section is similar to that administered during the 1996 Health and Retirement Survey (HRS). Variable SF3462 indicates whether the sample person answered the childhood module. For the Decedent File (Part 2), information was gathered from a family member or close relative regarding sample persons (N = 906) who were deceased at the time of Wave 3 interviews. Questions focused on housing, long-term care, assistance with key activities, chronic conditions, cognitive functioning, health care use, and health insurance. 3807 http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03807.v2 02-05-2008 survey data telephone interviews United States 2000

Will you guys help? I would like to provide some examples to expectant parents of group e-mails that were sent (or that you wish you sent!). EDITED TO CLARIFY: This would be a group e-mail YOU sent to your friends and family telling them "the news." If you are willing to help, will you PM me yours? I'd like to get some diversity in terms of focus. I'm hoping that whatever a mom's ethnic/ religious/ family status she'll find something to use from among diverse exaples. In other words, I'll have something more general/ generic, while I hope another will be from a Christian perspective, another from a Muslim perspective, another from Jewish perspective, or non-religious, etc. It would be great to see a first-time mom, a larger family, a blended family, etc. And some variation in ancilary issues - no ancillary issues, a heart defect, other issues - see where I'm going? And of course one message may meet several of those needs. You should be willing to have it edited to fit within the scope of what we are doing.
The personal info should be tailored to reflect internet accesibility - first names only, no addresses, e-mail addresses, etc.
I am hoping to use the examples both here (in a neatly presented way) or maybe in my journal with a link in the research thread, and somehow connected to the booklet we are making for pregnancy post-diagnosis.

'The Great Gatsby' faced tough pre-production obstacles
NEW YORK – Engineering a film production that blends the jittery literary genius of F. Scott Fitzgerald with the extravagant visual talents of director Baz Luhrmann was a task that producer Douglas Wick said required years of tough negotiations, more than a little luck and one desperate sprint down a Culver City street.
As Wick ("Gladiator") told it during a press conference for the release of "The Great Gatsby," the production team came very close to missing the chance to bring Luhrmann ("Moulin Rouge") aboard as director.
"Our version was very lucky," the producer said. "For about two years we had been trying to buy the rights to the book, and they were controlled by A&E, which had once done a TV movie of Gatsby. And so like everything magnificent about Fitzgerald, here were his rights to one of the great novels of the century held by this TV company and frozen there.
"So we negotiated for about two years, and it was a very tough deal," he said. "Then we were just closing and had agonized over how do you ever make this movie work for a contemporary audience. The reason we loved the book is that it felt more about now than any other literature.
So one day we're in our office on the lot at Sony, and we're having an internal meeting with just two or three employees, and after the meeting a person who's out in front comes in and says, 'Oh, Baz Luhrmann was here.' And I said, 'Baz Luhrmann was here?' He said, 'Yeah, I told him you were in a meeting.'
"So I go running out of the office, down the street, thinking, 'I'm going to kill this person who's sent away Baz Luhrmann,'" Wick recalled. "Baz had literally come to visit us to check us out and see if he could possibly stand working with us. He's very careful about that.
"Needless to say, there are many pieces of casting where you say, 'Boy, if we could just get this person…'" he said. "But maybe the hardest piece of casting is, what filmmaker in the world could ever make this movie and make it feel about now? And the fact that that filmmaker had come and knocked on our door and been sent away. I think about it, and I still want to put a gun in my mouth."
From their earliest conversations, Wick said it was clear that Luhrmann was the right director to "make Fitzgerald relevant to a new generation," and that the Australian filmmaker was incredibly articulate about finding daring and creative ways to marry Fitzgerald's rich literary language with Luhrmann's own spectacular cinematic language.

A couple of weeks ago, Stanford University Libraries hosted Dame Wendy Hall, Jim Hendler, and other web scientists affiliated with the Web Science Trust for a briefing on the Web Observatory initiative and a follow-on workshop organized by Lisa Green from Common Crawl. The notion of a Web Observatory implies a center proferring scientific instruments, but for the analysis of web data rather than natural phenomena. Indeed, the group's vision is that Web Observatories provide access to web datasets, projects, and tools. Eventually, a network of Web Observatories might offer both an interoperable architecture and distributed infrastructures for sharing and analysis of web datasets. The initiative touches on several areas of interest and investment by Stanford University Libraries, including data curation, web archiving, and supporting social science research.
A major challenge for web archivists is the low visibility that downstream archiving has on upstream web content creation. And, yet, deliberate and inadvertent architectural decisions made by web content creators strongly impact the ease or difficulty with which their websites can be captured and faithfully re-presented. A non-trivial byproduct of webmasters helping to ensure their content is archived for their own later use is that the Web itself becomes more archivable, to everyone's benefit.
The Stanford University Libaries is one of the founding partners of the International Image Interoperability Framework (http://iiif.io), which aims to enable broad access to cultural heritage images on the web. This exciting initiative is in its fifth year and is beginning to have an impact on the way digital images are used to support research and teaching. The IIIF editors recently released version 2.0 the IIIF API's, which is a major step towards creating a stable and sustainable technology framework for image interoperability.
To celebrate this progress, the IIIF community is hosting a one day information sharing event at the British Library about the use of images in and across cultural heritage institutions. The day will focus on how museums, galleries, libraries and archives, or any online image service, can take advantage of a powerful technical framework for interoperability between image repositories. This event will be valuable for organizational decision makers, repository and collection managers, software engineers, and anyone interested in exploring the wide range of use cases that are seamlessly enabled by the framework.
Attendance is free, and widespread dissemination of the event is encouraged.
A detailed program is available at http://iiif.io/event/2014/london.html and those interested can register to attend at http://bit.ly/iiiflondon2014.
The Archive of Recorded Sound is delighted to announce that the Richard Maxfield Collection (ARS.0074) can now be listened to online, via the collection's finding aid on the Online Archive of California. This collection features nine distinct works by electronic music composer Richard Maxfield, composed between 1959-1964, four of which are believed to be previously unpublished (Dromenom, Electronic Symphony, Suite from Peripateia, and Wind). Additionally, as Maxfield frequently produced unique edits of his work for each performance, many of the open tape reels that form this collection include alternative edits to those previously published, such as the tapes for Amazing Grace which feature three different versions of the work.
The Stanford University Libraries (SUL) is pleased to announce the release of Spotlight, an innovative solution that enables libraries and other cultural heritage institutions to build online exhibits from content in their repositories to better highlight their digital collections.
Spotlight is a plugin for Blacklight, which is a popular open source solution for building library discovery environments. Spotlight enhances Blacklight by providing a self-service forms-based user interface that allows exhibit-builders, such as librarians or faculty, to customize the search interface and homepage, and to build media-rich feature pages to better contextualize their collections.
Stanford first announced the development of Spotlight in early February of 2014, following a months long process of design and community outreach to validate the need for such a solution in the digital library community and obtain feedback on our approach. This was followed by a twelve-week cycle of software development that has culminated in the release of Spotlight version 0.1.0, available as open source software on Github.
This first release of Spotlight is best suited to featuring digitized still image collections. The first production exhibit built with Spotlight was recently completed by SUL's Digital and Rare Maps Librarian, and features a spectacular set of digitized maps of Africa. A brief video tour of this first online exhibit can be viewed on YouTube.
Spotlight enables an exhibit builder to heavily customize many elements of the user experience, and to build rich feature and about pages to give viewers a deeper understanding of the collection and its items. This YouTube video gives a tour of Spotlight from the exhibit-builder's perspective, and demonstrates many of the available customization features.
The 0.1.0 release of Spotlight is only the beginning. Our goal at Stanford is to work with library staff and content experts to build several more sites in the coming months as a way to user-test the software, identify bugs and enhancement opportunities, and most importantly to begin exposing more of Stanford Libraries' rich image resources. We are also working with peer institutions to adopt and test this first version with the intention that Spotlight will grow as a community supported, open-source solution. We encourage you to download it, give it a try, and send us feedback.
And certainly the engineering work is far from complete. There is a backlog of issues to address and several areas we have identified for future development:
- Selection and indexing : the tools and workflow for adding new content to a Spotlight index and updating metadata as it changes in the repository.
- Support for more content types : Spotlight currently supports digital still image collections, and we hope to add support for audio, video, PDF, datasets, geospatial objects, web archives and more.
- Theming : the ability for builders to choose from multiple visual themes to apply to an exhibit or collection, and to add custom header images and branding.
- Repository integration : currently, a Spotlight exhibit can be built on top of any Solr index. Work has begun to more easily create new Spotlight indexes directly from digital repository systems, and to save exhibit-specific metadata and supporting content into repositories. OUr initial integration efforts are focussed on the Fedora repository system, but we hope integration with other platforms will follow.
Spotlight is being built by an exceptionally talented group of engineers in the Digital Library Systems and Services division of SUL, with support from the software engineering firm Data Curation Experts (DCE). The team includes Gary Geisler, Chris Beer, Jessie Keck, Jack Reed and Christopher Jesudurai (all from Stanford), and Justin Coyne from DCE.

Web archivists Ahmed AlSum and Nicholas Taylor and LOCKSS Chief Scientist David Rosenthal recently attended the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) General Assembly, an annual meeting of national libraries, research universities, non-profits, and service providers engaged in web archiving. This was the first General Assembly we all attended since Stanford University Libraries (SUL) joined the IIPC, though we had all previously attended meetings under the auspices of other organizations.
Congressional campaign websites are valuable primary source material for historians, social scientists, and the public to better understand the evolution of political communication in the Web era. Campaign websites also afford unique opportunities for the mass collection of materials that would have been previously difficult to acquire outside of the candidate's district. While it is a truism that the Web is constantly changing and broken links are an inevitable outcome, campaign websites are predictably ephemeral given their time-limited purpose.
British Pathé just released an astounding 85,000 archival film clips on YouTube. Included are numerous clips of musical interest including great singers, instrumentalists, and conductors; music making in the home and community, musical oddities, and unique performances and venues. One clip that caught my attention today is of Australian soprano Marjorie Lawrence making her first standing appearance after being stricken with polio (she's performing with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, 1947). Her story was memorably told in the Hollywood film based on her memoirs, Interrupted Melody, starring Eleanor Parker as Lawrence.

Tarmac, was a destroyer spaceship in starshatter (if im not mistaken......)
Inspiring work .
Very impressive, I like that it seems to have an escort ship as well!
wow nice ship)) is it warship or for some science expedition?)
I had not a clear intention about the purpose of the ship before I start doing it. Just let my brain go a bit... Could be both but now that your asking. I tend to say a war ship cause of the edgy line and the more ''aggressive'' look of it. Also because of the orange stripe remind of some kind of war painting army draw on vehicle or soldier before a battle...
Looks like something outta Half-Life 2.
Very nice, bravo !
Looking good, sir!

Canadian Ryder Hesjedal wins Giro D'Italia
Canadian Ryder Hesjedal is cycling's rising star Like many "rising stars" Ryder Hesjedal has been struggling for many years to attain this honour. Today his efforts are realized with his win of the Giro-Ditalia.
Behind the scenes at the Giro d'Italia
"Addicted to speed, I mean"
Bjarne Riis, current coach of premier cycling squad Team CSC, used drugs to win the Tour in 1996. His protege, Ivan Basso, was suspended from Team CSC before last year's Tour for suspicion of doping. Team Discovery hired Basso to fill Lance Armstrong's seat as captain, but Basso quit shortly before he had a chance to win his second consecutive Giro d'Italia, and is out for the season, if not permanently. The conclusion of Floyd Landis's appeals to reinstate his 2006 Tour victory will wait until some time after this year's Tour de France. Jan Ullrich capped a good but unsatisfying career by retiring early and under a cloud. Several of Ullrich's former Deutch Telekom/T-Mobile teammates, including Erik Zabel, admitted to doping, and the team masseur claims to have personally administered EPO to Ullrich. Ullrich, Basso, numerous other leading riders, and the majority of some team rosters continue to be under suspicion as the Operación Puerto EPO lab investigation grinds onward. It might be the best time ever to market a competition road bike called the Addict. (previously, previously, oh-so-very previously, )

Spinach and Goat Cheese Omelet
Quick look
- prep 10 min cook 2 min
Omelet filling options are limitless. Try the variations below or improvise with leftover cooked vegetables or ingredients at hand.
- 2 cups baby spinach, rinsed
- 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped scallion
- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1
Bring about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) of water
to a boil in a large saucepan. Drop in spinach and
cook just until wilted, about 30 seconds. Drain,
press out liquid and chop coarsely. (Alternatively,
place spinach in a microwave-safe bowl, cover
with vented plastic wrap, and microwave on high
for 1 to 2 minutes.) Place the spinach in a small
bowl. Stir in the cheese and scallion.
- 2
Blend egg, egg whites, hot sauce, salt, and
pepper briskly with a fork in a medium bowl.
Heat oil in a 7- to 10-inch (18- to 25-centimeter)
nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Tilt the skillet to swirl oil over surface. Pour in
egg mixture. Immediately stir egg mixture with
heat-resistant rubber spatula or fork for a few
seconds. Then use spatula to push cooked
portions at edges toward the center, tilting the
skillet to allow uncooked egg mixture to fill in
areas around edges. Sprinkle spinach mixture
over the omelet. Continue to cook until almost
set, and the bottom is golden. The entire cooking
process should take about 1 minute.
- 3
Use a spatula to fold one-third of the omelet
over the filling. Tip the skillet and, using spatula
as a guide, slide the omelet onto a plate so that it
lands, folded in thirds, seam-side down.

I've problem with attribute deserialization on WebLogic Server Version: 10.3.5.0. It raise error BEA-101362 which, I found, is commented as: http://iderror.com/errors/oracle/weblogic-103/wl103-http/bea-101362-context-could-not-deserialize-the-scope-scoped-attribute-with-name-name/ where is specified:
Classloader changed. When this happens, the old attributes will be deserialized using the new classloader. The classloader can change either as a result of dynamic reload of classes (controlled by weblogic.xml parameter "reload-check-secs" or upon across webapp dispatch (include/forward).
The first case "dynamic reload" is not my problem, this error happens each of time including immediately after servlet restart. Strange thing is that same code is working without problems on WepSphere app Server and even on older server version "WebLogic Server Version: 10.3.2.0".
Does anyone has similar experience with this deserialization problems?

Letter from Jerry Lambert, City of Girard Safety Service Director, regarding the metering of water services at the Metro Plex Hotel.
Response letter from the Metro Plex Hotel General Manager to Jerry Lambert, City of Girard Safety Service Director, regarding the metering of water services at the Metro Plex.
The MetroPlex, once praised as an all-in-one motel, convention center and banquet hall, has fallen behind on taxes and is accused of not paying Girard for the water it uses.
In response, MetroPlex owners said the facility has lost money because of waterline breaks and other problems.
According to a letter from the city to MetroPlex owner Aswin Ganapathy Hospitality Inc., the facility owes more than $13,000 in water bills. Included in that total is a claim that the complex took at least two months' worth of water — totaling more than $2,600 — from Girard by circumventing the water meter.
"This can only be accomplished by a person or persons who knowingly opened and closed two separate valves," the March 8 letter said. "In order to correct this situation, our service man was able to correct the valves, and a lock will be installed to make sure this situation doesn't occur again."
The MetroPlex's acting manager, who declined to comment or provide her name to The Vindicator, did provide the company's official response to the city's allegations.
In its letter to Girard, company officials denied knowing where the bypass valve is located and claimed they have not seen copies of the blueprints or floor plans to the complex.
"If it was one valve and only one valve, it could be an accident — not two," Jerry Lambert, the city's service director, said.
In its March 8 letter, the city billed MetroPlex $2,618 for the two months and told the complex to pay a total of $13,704 for all past-due water bills. As of Monday, the complex paid Girard $8,000, and its representatives are expected to meet with city officials today to discuss the remaining debt, said Lambert.
The letter from MetroPlex management to the city also blames Girard for loss of business due to waterline breaks and water-pressure issues over the last six months.
During the last waterline break along Churchill Road on Feb. 23, the MetroPlex lost more than $10,000 after being forced to refund a client's charges for a three-day event due to lack of water, the owners said.
The acting manager at the MetroPlex said when the water was turned on, sediment entered the complex's water lines, clogging toilets and sinks.
"All that fell loose from the pipe came into the building," said Tom Rogan, who is paid hourly by the hotel to deal with plumbing issues but acknowledged he is not a plumber.
He said he knew nothing of the valve bypass issue.
But late water bills are only part of the problem for the MetroPlex. It also has fallen behind on taxes to both Trumbull County and Liberty Township.
Currently, the hotel is behind six months on the motel tax it owes Liberty, about $850, and $41,000 in county taxes, according to township and county records.
John Fusco, township fiscal officer, said he has sent tax notices to the business three times since 2009.
He said the motel taxes the township has collected — a 3 percent tax per bed occupied that goes directly to the township's general fund — from MetroPlex have dwindled over the last five years.
"That was our money maker," Fusco said of the complex. "Now, we're lucky if we get $200 [a month]."
In July 2007 Liberty collected $6,649 in bed taxes from the MetroPlex but collected only $140 in July 2011.
Although MetroPlex management declined discussing business, township Administrator Pat Ungaro, who has worked closely with MetroPlex owners as it tries to gain a franchise name, said all major hotel chains require improvements. And that, he said, requires investment. "The banks just aren't lending money, and that's just what's holding [owner Dr. Indira Sammy] back," Ungaro said.
Obviously going bankrupt - it's a dump anyway.
"Dr" Sammy is a very uppidy, pretentious woman - good to see what goes around, comes around. Ever hear of karma "Dr".
When Sammy bought this place, she stated she had to sell her other properties in order to obtain the Metroplex. That move alone proved that she didn't have the funds to get this hotel up and running again. When the Holiday Inn took their flag, it was because the place needed about 2 mill in improvements, and the owner then, couldn't do it. Not sure how Sammy thought she was going to accomplish this, but surely it wasn't by hanging a flashing neon "open" sign on the front door. It can come back, but it needs someone with deep pockets, and a really good staff supporting them.
This lady that owns the MetroPlex is a complete blowhard. She thinks that she can tell everyone that comes in there to do business with her and the governments that she deals with how things are going to be. She thinks that just because she wants it a certain way, that is the way it will be and she doesnt want to hear otherwise. My advice to her would be go back to India, apparently they do things differently there. If you dont take that advice, then welcome to AMERICA, learn to do business OUR way!

- Nelson and the Bear Project By Madison Irving Does climate change affect black bear growth? A study at the University of Memphis, involving five to six hundred black bear skulls from all over the western United States and southern Canada, has set out to prove that it does. It appears that the size of bears correlate to the climate conditions in the range where the bear lived. Using skulls kept in natural historymuseums, researchers have not only been able to study familial relationships between bears but they have also found that the bears tend to be larger where the climate is colder. The additional goal of the study is to determine whether climate change and specifically global warming is causing changes in black bear growth. Global warming is an issue that has intrigued Dr. John Nelson, an environmental studies teacher at Bethel University, for a long time. Nelson received his doctorate from University of Memphis and has kept in touch with a mentor at U of M, Dr. Michael Kennedy. Kennedy, knowing Nelson's involvement in the study of global warming, asked him to come on board for the bear project in order to create a connection between global warming and its effects on wildlife. There have been many studies done before of the same nature so they are using past data as well as data they have collected themselves. As new information comes in it is sent over to Nelson for analysis. "No evidence is in hand yet, but warmer temperatures are bound to have some effect. What is unknown now is what the ultimate effects will be on each species. I am not real familiar with the scientific literature that deals with temperature effects on wildlife, but my own dissertation research showed that high temperatures do put a stress on females that are carrying young in the womb. And those youngsters showed the stress in minute levels of asymmetrical development in skull structures", explained Nelson. Doing a project like this is bound to take a lot of time and effort, but Nelson seems to pack it all in. "The time that I will spend on the project will largely be determined by my course load at Bethel University. Right now the Biology Department is severely overloaded. In the current semester the 5 full-time faculty members taught the equivalent of 9 faculty positions. It will probably turn out that I spend lots of time during breaks and weekends working these kinds of projects." This project is very important to Nelson, as he explained, "the project will give me a chance to get re-involved with wildlife research. It is also a project that will allow researchers a chance to potentially show that global warming is real, and that it is having real, and measurable effects on the wildlife in our country." Dr. Kennedy is applying for and hopes to receive a grant from the National Science Foundation in order to create a research program that operates to create a connectiondirectly from Bethel University to the program at U of M. Unfortunately, due to the large number of projects currently underway and the limited grant funds available, it may be difficult to receive funding. A project of this nature would make it possible for students at Bethel to participate in research and analysis outside of text books and the classroom curriculum, giving them valuable hands-on experience.

Hey I'm doing some php development work for free for my friend and he is using wordpress for a blog, but it's a video site & while I could do something clever within wordpress itself, I want to move outside of wordpress since it isn't my specialty but I would like to be able to retrieve Wordpress information and while it would be quite plausible for me to simply create php to retrieve data from the database wordpress has a lot of template tags already in existance. What I would like to be able to do is utilise these tags in my project.
So my question is, how can this be achieved?
In case it is important. Wordpress is installed in the document root and it's currently sharing that root with my external site. so in other words the index.php of wordpress is in the same folder as the "index.php" of my other one, though obviously not called the same thing.

Colorado voters passed Amendment 64 with many expectations, including that $40 million would be raised annually for public school construction under the Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) program.
Earlier this month, we learned that only $195,318 was collected in excise taxes during the first month of recreational marijuana sales, for a projected annualized collection of $2.34 million. (The sales taxes collected during the same time on recreational pot totaled $1.4 million, plus another $416,690 from the state's standard 2.9 percent sales tax.)
So far, it looks like voters won't capture anywhere near the revenues they anticipated.
Moreover, because Amendment 64 commits the first $40 million in excise taxes to the BEST program every year, there may never be excess excise tax revenue to commit to youth education. Instead, the state will have to rely on collected sales taxes to not only cover basic regulatory and enforcement costs, but to also provide for youth education, prevention and treatment.
Based on January marijuana tax collections, we must ask, "How much marijuana use do we need to see in order to get close to the promised revenues?" We've heard from the media that marijuana sales are booming, yet the tax receipts aren't close to what was projected. The numbers don't add up, and may lead to another question, "Should medical and recreational marijuana be treated differently for tax purposes when the two are housed under the same roof and sell identical products?"
But the state of Colorado can't afford to wait for answers to those questions before educating our youth, and Gov. John Hickenlooper seems to agree. His proposed tax spending plan wisely supports funding these critical priorities.
While the state scrambles to meet the challenges of regulating an entirely new harm-producing industry, some municipalities — Denver in particular — have chosen to move full-speed ahead with increased marijuana commercialization. Shops have opened before our kids and the general public have received any information about the actual products being sold, information necessary to adequately protect themselves.
Pot shops have opened before fully funding a data collection program to give us an inkling of what the actual social costs will be, including impacts on school dropout rates, the achievement gap, and workforce readiness issues.
Disturbing stories of young people unintentionally consuming marijuana are becoming frequent. The week that the tax numbers were released, we learned that 15 Westminster middle-school students ate marijuana candies the size of Tootsie Rolls. Many of these students had no idea they were consuming marijuana.
The same week, an 18-year-old in Steamboat Springs found an abandoned chocolate bar and ate the whole thing without knowing it contained multiple servings of marijuana.
Colorado youth have been told that marijuana is a wellness product, but no research has been conducted on the potential health impacts of the highly potent forms of marijuana being sold in stores in Colorado. Yet, we do know that marijuana containing much lower THC-potency levels can cause permanent damage to the developing brain.
Most adults assume that Colorado kids are getting access to the same pot from years ago. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Our kids are getting access to highly potent marijuana concentrates with THC levels that can reach up to 90 percent. These oils and waxes are being sold in Colorado while they remain illegal everywhere else in the world, including the Netherlands.
Adding to the confusion, concerned adults are having an increasingly difficult time detecting whether or not a child is using marijuana. A student might be sucking on a marijuana-infused lollipop, drinking marijuana-infused soda, eating a cookie, or chewing or "vaping" on a pen, highlighter or asthma inhaler loaded with marijuana concentrates, without an adult having a clue.
Whether future recreational marijuana taxes will come in high or low, we can't afford to waste any more time. We must step up and devote the necessary resources to educating ourselves and our youth, and take full responsibility for the decisions we adults have made.

How much formula should you feed your baby?
I have a almost 5wk old and it seems he is so hungry that every three or four days we have been slightly increasing his formula. We are now up to 5ozs and I'm just wondering if this was the "right" thing to do....We have changed his formula because he was having issues with his poop being too hard and changed it to the Gentelease but now it seems it's not enough food ...like it's not holding him from being hungry...Does anyone have suggestions? This was supposed to help with gas and fussiness as well but I didn't see any change maybe for the worst but not for the good...Does anyone have suggestions?....Thanks! :)

He may be going through a growth spurt as well. They go through them at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 10 weeks and on.posted 01/15/2009 by krista branum
MY DAUGHTER IS 9 WEEKS OLD. I'M BREASTFEEDING AND FORMUL FEEDING, SO SHE GETS USED TO THE BOTTLE WHEN I RETURN TO WORK. SHE WAS STARTING TO GET FUSSY WITH BREASTMILK SO WE ASKED THE DOCTOR AND SHE SUGGESTED SIMILAC ADVANCE EARLYSHIELD. IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING FOR HER FOR THE PAST MONTH. SHE'S EATING BETWEEN 4 & 6 OZ. OF FORMULA PER FEEING. (ABOUT 3-4 BOTTLES A DAY), THAN I STILL NURSE. I WOULD RECOMMEND SIMILAC, BUT THAN AGAIN TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. LIKE MY DOC ALWAYS SAYS AND PEOPLE I TALK TO IF THEY R HUNGRY FEED EM, THEY WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH.posted 01/05/2009 by postaldd
Mine did a little flip out at 5 weeks also, but I was breast feeding...growth spurt was my best guess. My son went to formula at 6 weeks...I just couldn't keep him happy. So with a bottle and the power of gas drops we survived. He is now 3 1/2 months and has been taking 7 oz every 2-3 hrs since he was 2 months old. Yes folks...2 months. I was completely freaked out by the amount of food this child ate, but Dr said it was fine and he was on target for weight. I had all the unwelcomed advice in the world, everything from add ceral to the formula and he'll eat less (they forgot about the added calories of the cereral and the crazy poop/gas it caused) to "you just need to give him a binky after 3 oz and tough out the crying" (I told them I would call them at about 3am and let them know how that worked out for me...that jem of advice from a non-parent of all things!). Honestly, I feed my baby what he wanted and at 10 weeks he started sleeping from 9pm till 7 am and hasn't looked back.posted 12/25/2008 by Masterlulu
once your baby starts gaining weight then its fine at what amount there drinking formula your all good. lolposted 12/25/2008 by sassystefanie2006
I let my 6wk old eat as much as he wants until he pushes the nipple away. when I do this he goes about 3 or 4 hours between feedings.posted 12/18/2008 by veronicawood7
My lil girl is 3 months and 1wk she eats 3 oz every three hours and sleeps four to five hours a night. That does not measure up to 2.5 oz x lb but she is healthy and weighs close to 12 pounds. It is all up to the baby they eat when they are hungry. As far as the gas i use mylicon at every feeding and as long as i am consistant it works great.posted 12/14/2008 by girlwithgirl
Baby's have growth spurts and I think one is somewhere between 4-6 weeks. My daughter is 4 months today. At three months and 1 week, we started feeding her baby foods. She was drinking 4 oz. bottles all day, with a 10-15 minute break between each. We were going through a can of powder formula a day almost! About the formula, I would suggest switching to Similac Sensitive. Both of my children started on enfamil, but had to switch and were fine. Of course, if you receive WIC, that is not an option so if that is the case and you have to stay with the Enfamil brand, i would sugest Mylicon drops, they did wonders with both kids before they switched to similac.posted 12/13/2008 by roseb
My son is 6 weeks old in the beginning i was using soy he was spitting up alot then similac alimentum still spitting up alot the doctor said it might be reflux third time lucky i am now using Enfamil A.R. its with added rice starch. He is doing great very little spit up, eats 4-5 onces every 4 hours and sleeps 6-7 hours through the night. Highly recommend Enfamil A.R.posted 12/10/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
My doctor said the you should add three to his/her age. For example, 1 mnth + 3 = 4 oz, or 2 mnth + 3 =5oz, or 3 mnth +3 = 6oz and so forth. It has worked great with my baby.posted 12/07/2008 by JEN_NYCHIAPPONE
From my experience, you should feed your baby as much formula as he wants unless he eats so much he vomits. Also, the baby can have a problem with the powdered formula of a particular brand but be fine with the liquid version of the same brand. You should talk to the pediatrician about formula change... to ensure nutrition and health.posted 12/03/2008 by TwinMama711
