I need to work with API in hot jobs. How can I test my code for hotjobs functionalities and also What about License key for developping and real application ?I hv applied for License key yesterday morning, but I did not received any mail yet.Please give me suggetion quickly regarding this, so I can complete this soon.ThanksPrattik
I have responded to the email you sent the API email alias.Thank you.Matt NolanTechnical Operations Associate
Thank you for your support, I hv sent back the require information.
It is very good for developer. I am just confusing about about header in the api documentation."HTTP custom header". can anyone tell me what I can write in "X-Yahoo-HJAuth-Signature"? like any example....Thanking you,Mittal
You will need to create first account, then you will get the license key for posting the JOB. Use that key and other values which specify in documentation, tell me if you may have other question on it. Prattik
I am very exhausted to solve this error. I also got this problem in last 2-3 days. I am working on PHP, and ever get the error in posting the JOB through API.I hv only the problem for signature, it says the signature incorrect even I tried many posibilities on it.I hv put the sample code for header section, please give me solution if any one have.========================================================language = PHP,CURL$request = XML of Authentication from where I got the token$token = Hotjobs response gave the token for successfully logintime() = current time and midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC.$liiense_key = license key got when registration.$header[] = array wil be use for pass in header for request the post job.references link = http://developer.yahoo.com/hotjobs/job_pos...tp-headers.html $header[] = "Content-type: text/xml"; $header[] = "Content-length:".strlen($request); $header[] = "X-Yahoo-HJAuth-Token:".$token; $header[] = "X-Yahoo-HJAuth-Timestamp:".time(); $header[] = "X-Yahoo-HJAuth-Signature:".md5($request.time().''.$token.$license_key);=========================================================It caught the error in signature, I don't know what I am doing wrong in it. Please give anyone solution me ASAP. Thank You,Prattik
this might be helpful:..$requestXML = XML containing the job details.$token = token string returned by authentication API$lkey = license key..$time = time();$signature = md5($requestXML . $time . $token . $lkey);$headers = array("X-Yahoo-HJAuth-Token: ".$token,"X-Yahoo-HJAuth-Signature: ".$signature,"X-Yahoo-HJAuth-Timestamp: ".$time);...
Hi,we can post the job succesfully but we have a problem in edit and delete the job. In the document it has specified to use method PUT and DELETE for edit and delete the job respectively. When we tried to do edit or delete we offen got the message "HTTP Method PUT not allowed".It says server may be not supported this method.We are using the curl in PHP and for set this http method we have set parameter i.eset URL for edit : http://hj.yahooapis.com/v1/Job/<JobId> => so I set this to "http://hj.yahooapis.com/v1/Job/?HJInternalJobId=JXOEBSRTF9K"curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");can you give me idea how to set these http method?It will be very good if you can send the sample example for edit job.

My theory is that they did it so there would be a distinction between hacked and legitimate Pokemon in the GTS.
It's a major help to traders imo.
West, on a plane bound west
I see her stretching out below
Land, blessed mother land
The place where I was born
Scars, she's got her scars
Sometimes it starts to worry me
Cause lose, I don't want to lose
Sight of who we are
From the mountains high
To the wave-crashed coast
There's a way to find
Better days I know
It's been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
This is still the place
That we all call home

I hear you Bro, I was really hoping that good would come of Rossi's time at Ducati, also like a few others I thought he had enough clout to not have to rely on the tobacco industry but seeing him constantly finish mid pack is really disappointing, I find WSBK to be better entertainment, it's like every MotoGP is just a replay of Valencia 2006....

Stardraw and Ramtech Industries hammer out Ramtech Metalworks Designer powered by Stardraw
Ramtech Industries, a leading developer and manufacturer of pro audio snakes, stageboxes, multi-pin connectors and cables as well as custom audio interfaces, is to launch Ramtech Metalworks Designer powered by Stardraw at NSCA 2007. Metalworks Designer is a new software tool for the design and production of custom control and connection panels that has been designed and developed by software providers, Stardraw.com.
According to Stardraw managing director and CEO, David Snipp, Metalworks Designer is a truly 'next-generation' product that takes full advantage of the Stardraw engine to deliver an application that is fast, intuitive and extremely simple to use.
"This is the very first application to be developed on next-generation technology, by which I mean that it runs on .NET 2.0," explained Snipp. "This means that it can run on any .NET-supported platform, e.g. any device running Windows 98, 2000, XP or Vista. Unlike other similar applications we have developed in the past, Metalworks Designer is not designed to run in a web page for the simple reason that Internet, despite what we may think, is NOT everywhere. Computers, on the other hand, which are getting less expensive and more powerful by the day, are. For this reason we designed Metalworks Designer on a 'Rich Client' model that takes full advantage of the power of the local machine as opposed to a 'Thin Client' model where all the intelligence is hosted on a server and an internet connection is required to access it. However, the new platform allows the user to work offline to design his panel, but as soon as an internet connection is detected, he has access to pricing, ordering facilities etc. It's a sophisticated solution that allows the client maximum flexibility wherever he is."
Kevin Kirchner, VP Sales at Ramtech, is extremely pleased with the results. "We've been using Stardraw for over four years now for in-house design work and assembly, but more and more of our clients were requesting a software program that would offer them a convenient and easy way to design and price custom jobs without them having to spend time on the phone explaining their needs. When we asked them what they needed and how they wanted it to work, the overwhelming response was, 'like Stardraw!' So we contacted Stardraw and started the design process."
"The entire project has gone extremely smoothly," continued Kirchner. "Stardraw has created a product that exceeds our expectations, providing customers with countless options and flexibility by allowing both on- and offline design and quoting, as well as the ability to use the finished drawings in their AutoCAD-based project designs. Furthermore, because we've effectively cut out the old outdated verbal approval process, production has been streamlined, and turnaround drastically diminished. All of this while creating an absolutely spot-on reproduction of the customer's vision. We could not be happier with the application that Stardraw has developed for us and we're excited to begin a second phase that will allow for advanced wiring options and expanded metal templates."
Notes to Editor
Since 1995 Stardraw.com has been a leading provider of software solutions to the entertainment technology sector, offering a range of award-winning system design, documentation and control applications as well as providing OEM software solutions for corporate customers. With offices in London and New York, regional partners and an installed customer base of almost 40,000 users spanning 82 countries, Stardraw.com is focussed on serving the international marketplace, and delivers leading-edge solutions that exploit the very latest in software technologies.

And the second server is a actually a web server. The SSL certificate for the web server is issued by the CA's parent server. Now the problem here is arising that the web server is rejecting the certificates. So I thought to verify the certificate on the web server and then gives the error message that some revocation function was unable to check revocation because it is offline something like that. What do I should do here. Help needed.

The other day i was trying to install the Minalto Gallery for a customer. While doing the install, ( /install/index.php?step=2 ) on step 2, there was a warning that said:
Warning: Output buffering is enabled in your php by the output_buffering parameter(s) in php.ini. Gallery can function with this setting - downloading files is even faster - but Gallery might be unable to serve large files (e.g. large videos) and run into the memory limit. Also, some features like the progress bars might not work correctly if output buffering is enabled unless ini_set() is allowed.
When I looked into my php.ini file, the setting was set to:
output_buffering = 4096
I guess the gallery needed this to be disabled, so what i did, I set it to "Off" According to the instructions provided in the php.ini file:
; Output buffering allows you to send header lines (including cookies) even
; after you send body content, at the price of slowing PHP's output layer a
; bit. You can enable output buffering during runtime by calling the output
; buffering functions. You can also enable output buffering for all files by
; setting this directive to On. If you wish to limit the size of the buffer
; to a certain size - you can use a maximum number of bytes instead of 'On', as
; a value for this directive (e.g., output_buffering=4096).
output_buffering = 4096
I changed it to
output_buffering = Off
then I restarted my apache server
When I refreshed step two during the installation, i did get the warning, instead i got a
*if you have benefited from this post, we would appreciate a link back to wallpaperama.com - Why link back? by linking to wallpaperama, it will make this post more available for webmaster/people who are looking for answers to questions like this. - Thanks,
me too! jajajajajajajaj
Thanks. This helped me.
This really helped, thanks
i changed the output_buffering = off; initially, this is working fine, After some time, it's not worked even does not download small files ..

I know this is anything but ipod but...
I know what my next mp3 player will be: the ipod touch update/upgrade thats probably gna be released this september. I am not a fanboy of anything, just a fan of tech, and it seems as if the ipod touch cant be...well touched. I think its the only apple product I've ever wanted to buy, as there is simply no better device out there for mp3, wifi, movies, youtube etc, and I have my fair share of tech gadgets (lg dare, ds and supercard, psp with custom firmware, zen, e280 rockbox, etc). My friend has a jailbroken one with the app store, and its just too good. It seems as though other mp3 manufacturers are just playing catch-up - opinions?
My Gear, in order of preference:
MP3 Players - iPod Touch 2g, LG Dare, Sansa Clip, Hissy Dell Laptop *cringe*
Headphones - JVC Air Cushions, Creative EP-630 (Great phones, just barely edged out by air cushions)
|[Remove Advertisement]
I think it is catch-up at this point. Most other companies with video players have worked on making them better, better screens, SQ, user setable EQ. Apple seems to just throw the stuff out there because they know people will have to have it. I know 5 people with Iphones and they all love them, but only one uses it for music. The new Iphone V2 has been nothing but problems for the other two. I'd love to have the feature set of the Touch from a company that cares about their customers. Whats new about V2 just the 3g or is there more? But with the new touch gen2 you'll have to use Itunes, and deal with only 64k colors. $400+ for 2003 technology on the device. The feature set is the groundbreaking part, the device itself is a little weak.

I'd love to see him line up Dwill, Tolbert, and Stew showing triple option. Fake the belly to Tolbert and the toss to Dwill, take a step back and hit Olsen running a streak down the seam. If they catch the Texans being too aggressive and complete this for good yardage, it should set the tone for a better running game the rest of the night.

QB Kellen Clemens, not surprisingly, was inconsistent, although he did make some plays at key times. His two interceptions, while not totally his fault, hurt, especially one that resulted in a 38-yard return by cornerback Richard Sherman that led to a touchdown.
CB Cortland Finnegan played as the nickel back in his return to the field after missing three games because of a hamstring injury.
RG Harvey Dahl, who suffered an injury to his left knee Monday night against the Seahawks, was still having tests Tuesday to determine the severity of the injury. Coach Jeff Fisher said the suspicion is that it is an MCL injury, but the degree is what the team is concerned about.
G Shelley Smith, who had been rotating at left guard with Chris Williams, ended up playing right guard when Harvey Dahl left the game with a knee injury in the third quarter.
RB Isaiah Pead has played in only three of the Rams' first eight games. A second-round pick in 2012, Pead was on the suspended list for the season opener and has been inactive for two games including Monday night against Seattle. In the two games prior to Monday, Pead was active, but did not play.
RB Zac Stacy, who suffered an ankle injury Monday night against Seattle, was still having tests Tuesday to determine the severity of the injury.
RB Benny Cunningham, who has missed two games because of an ankle injury, is expected to return to practice this week.

I'm a new casual cyclist with an '09 Fuji road bike. I've spent enough time on it to feel comfortable with the basics of biking safety and to get past saddle soreness.
I'm developing an interest in the hardware and mechanics of my bike - starting to learn about the workings of the gear and brake systems. This is partly just academic curiosity, and partly practical: my rear gear has been missing a lot during shifting (sometimes taking as many as two revolutions to fully engage) and clicking a fair amount during ordinary riding in some gears.
So I have a few questions for everyone:
(1) Any advice for looking into the rear gear? I've ordered a repair stand, and intend to prop up my bike to scrutinize the shifting mechanism in practice (with a textbook in hand) to learn how it works and what may be going wrong. Any advice for going about this process?
Any thoughts about the prognosis of the gear? Is this the type of problem that can be fixed through amateur maintenance or needs professional repair? And is this typically solved by adjusting the derailleur, or should I be expecting the need to replace significant parts of the gear?
Finally - where do I draw the line between minor home maintenance and taking the bike to a cycling shop? I'm not about to start unbolting anything critical to the stability of the bike, but I'd also like to improve my understanding of the mechanism and start developing hands-on experience.
(2) Any recommendations for hardware upgrades that might improve the casual cycling experience?
I'm definitely not looking to bling out my bike and don't care about status; I am a self-admitted casual cycling amateur. But I recently swapped out the pedals with some SPDs and a pair of cycling shoes, and I'm really happy with the experience. So this has started me thinking about other upgrades that might be appropriate for my situation.
So - any recommendations? Saddle or tires, maybe? (I will gratefully accept "no, your bike is fine for your needs" as an answer.)
Thanks in advance, everyone.

Update on Maria AracelyMaría is asking for a new loan to improve her business, buying the products that she needs for her business to be in good shape. For example, she will buy oil, sweet corn, wood, and propane, which are some of the items necessary to make her tamales (a traditional dish made of cornmeal, sauce, and meat wrapped in palm leaves) for sale.
She notes that the loan she received the last time allowed her to have the most needed items to make her tamales, and her living conditions and level of comfort have improved, and she has a better opportunity to make a profit.
Comenta que el préstamo que se le financio anteriormente, le permitió tener lo más necesario para elaborar los tamales, sus condiciones, su nivel de vida han sido mejor, han tenido más oportunidad de obtener ingresos.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

How Much Does a Finnish Lapphund Cost?
The Finnish Lapphund is one of the many breeds of dog that can be a great companion to people. There is nothing like having a dog beside you while you relax on your couch and watch your favorite shows. Having a dog running beside you while you take your morning walk or jog is also priceless.
If you are looking for a dog that you can take outside, you should seriously consider purchasing a Finnish Lapphund. This breed of dog is very active. They are also very intelligent, and therefore take very well to training. They can compete in a variety of competition such as dog trials and do very well in these endeavors.
How much is it?
- Like most pets sold online, the Finnish Lapphund is usually sold on sites where people can post ads online for the breed of dogs that they sell. The price of the Finnish Lapphund breed depends on the quality of the breed. The age and the gender of the dog will also affect the price. On average, this breed can range anywhere from $600 to as much as $2,500 for a high-quality purebred.
- Most of the Finnish Lapphunds are sold as puppies. You can find several sites that sell this breed of dog. Pet owners usually post ads on the sites and they are the ones who provide the price of the dogs based on several factors. According to Pups4Sale.com, the price of the dogs can range from $1,100 to $2,300.
- NextDayPets.com is another site that offers the Finnish Lapphund. The dogs posted on this site, like the others, are placed by the owners who have this particular breed of dog available. According to the site, the price of Finnish Lapphund puppies can range from $650 to $1,500.
What is going to be included?
- There are owners that sell dogs which already have a name, which means that they are registered and have a license. The only downside to this inclusion is that you do not get to choose the name of the dog.
- Another inclusion when you buy a dog from a reputable breeder is the shots of medicine administered to the dog. This includes anti-rabies as well as immunity shots for different diseases that they can acquire during their early years.
What are the extra costs?
- One of the additional costs involved when you buy your pet online is the shipping and handling of the dog that you purchased. The price will depend on your location from the seller and the courier that will ship the dog to you. Having a dog shipped through an airline, for example, can start at $250.
- If the dog does not yet have a license, you will have to register it and get a license. The cost varies depending on how much your county charges for it; this can be anywhere from $8 to $15.
Tips to know:
- Dogs have different temperaments, so make sure that you buy the one that will suit your lifestyle. A Finnish Lapphund is a very active dog, one that you want to take outside to play, run with you, etc.
- You can actually register for competitions for your Finnish Lapphund since this breed is capable of competing. They have characteristics that make them very competitive in carting, mushing or obedience events.
How can I save money?
- Finding a cheap Finnish Lapphund is not easy since they are a high quality breed of dogs. They are highly competitive and treasured for their natural intelligence that makes them really competitive in different dog competitions. Make sure that you browse through different websites that sell this type of dog to find one sold at the lowest price.
- When you start looking for the dog online, check with your immediate area first so the delivery charges will not be as much compared to dogs that come from areas which are farther away.

Albert Kindle, James Hawthorne, Steve Stepp and Randy Lasiter relax and sit around the kitchen table on a Monday afternoon at Another Chance House at Third Avenue and Jackson Street. They have an air of contentedness about them, that peaceful feeling you get sometimes when you know the path you've chosen is finally, after all these years, the right one.
Question: Where would you be if not for this place, if not for Sandy Fenberg?
They pause, look at one another waiting for someone to answer first. A sly smile outlines a face or two. Kindle volunteers first - he'd be back in the penitentiary. Lasiter said he'd be "fighting the bottle" again, battling an alcohol problem that nearly ruined him. Stepp said he'd be "knee-deep in the needle." Hawthorne knows his pent-up anger would have consumed him.
"It's like Christmas year around here," Stepp said. "I know that sounds like BS, but, for me, it really is."
A former house of prostitution is about the last place anyone would expect to discover Christmas spirit. But it was at one time, this big two-story white frame headquarters of a house at 209 S. Jackson St. Men still frequent the place, but now for altogether different reasons.
There are 42 of them, ranging from ages 18 to 70. Seventeen live in the main home - nine in the barracks-style big room, Lasiter, the house manager, has a room and seven others fill individual bedrooms upstairs. The rest are scattered among the 12 facilities that consume an entire square block. With some expected expansion, the number of men at the facility may grow to 52 very soon.
They have a lot in common, regrettably too much in common. Bad home life growing up, bad decisions, bad advice. No structure, no discipline, no accountability, precious little love which spiraled down an alley of drug and alcohol addiction, crime, broken families and a dead-end future that's not going to end well.
Then, they somehow found their way to what looks on the outside like a bed and breakfast in downtown Amarillo. There's an arch reading "Another Chance" above the sidewalk. If they had a history of bad choices, then going into that house, and agreeing to abide by a set of rigid rules may be one of the few good decisions these men have made in a long time.
"I walked under that sign for the first time and I'm thinking to myself, 'I get another chance,'" Stepp said. "A few of us don't know if we'll ever have another chance. Our backs are to the wall. This is it. We're either going to die or get some help."
Then they see Sandy Fenberg and understand that help is on the way - if they really want it.
Epitome of tough love
Twelve years ago, Fenberg said she couldn't have told you what homeless meant, never even met someone who was homeless. She took a job at the Tyler Street Resource Center, and then got addicted to the work.
"I fell in love with it," she said, "and anyone who knew me at the time couldn't believe it," Fenberg said. "There is a lot of tears and heartbreak, but there was something about it that just touched me."
A year later, she took over as managing director of Another Chance House. Father Aram Berard began the work and opened the property for homeless men in 1988. In 1996, Fenberg stepped in and hasn't left, making $6,000 a year more than minimum wage for her time.
She's the divorced mother of three grown children. She's small in stature, and husky in voice. She laughs easily, but there is a no-nonsense way about her. Make no mistake. There is her way and there is the highway. The men choose.
"Because of our rules, I'm not (politically correct) and I don't intend to be," she said. "I'm not an enabler. Ask anyone that if they do something wrong, they'll know it immediately. But I've never had a man get out of hand with me. I guess they're afraid that I'll kill them."
When a man walks through the front door for the first time, Fenberg makes sure he really wants to change his wayward life. Then she lays down the non-negotiable ground rules for remaining.
"I've had some ask me when I retired from the military," she said.
They have one week to find a job. If they want somewhere just to sleep, or some food or shoes, there are plenty in town that can offer that. This is more.
They must cut their hair. They must dress appropriately. No body piercings. Any tattoos must be covered.
Rise and shine at 6 a.m. Lights out at 10 p.m. Make your bed before leaving for work. Chores on the grounds and in the house are not expected - they're required. Any child support payments must be paid with each paycheck.
They must attend Alcoholics Anonymous and Celebrate Recovery meetings each week. Attending church services each Sunday is strongly encouraged.
"There have been cases that when I go over our rules, they say that nobody is going to tell me to do that," Fenberg said. "Then I say, 'Then go sleep in that tree over there.' You've got to want to conform in order to enter back into society."
Those who agree to the rules pay rent: $20 a week for a dorm bed, $30 a week for a room upstairs. For one of the other houses, such as the three-bedroom Stepp shares with two others, rent varies from $150 to $250 a month. The average stay is 60 to 90 days.
As for meals, breakfast, except for Sunday, is on their own from the kitchen. They pack their own lunches and supper is usually chili, beans and cornbread, or spaghetti. Once a week, a church brings a hot meal.
"I want this to be their home. I don't like calling it a shelter," Fenberg said. "I keep a family atmosphere. I make them interact, get social skills. Everyone looks at me and says, 'How can a woman work this many men?' Maybe it just takes one mean woman to straighten them out, I don't know."
Someone in their corner
The kicker here is these men want discipline, crave structure, need routine. They may not say so, but they do because it's been missing for so long.
"I've been in two other places and it goes back to structure," Kindle said. "I've seen a lot of people like me who had nothing literally when they come in. It may sound trivial, but now they got nice clothes, a job, get up and do what is put before us. We didn't do that on the streets. There was no structure."
And no Sandy Fenberg. She is the living, breathing epitome of tough love. She is also an administrator, dealing with a projected $200,000 budget for 2008. Rent is only 25 percent of the budget.
Another Chance gets help with grants, but funds for men are hard to get. They get some aid from churches, from Coalition for the Homeless, the Meadows Foundation, and Cal Farley's Boys Ranch. Fenberg could spend every hour trying to raise money, but she'd rather spend most of it with her extended family where her passion lies.
She accepts that she's the mother most didn't know. And they accept that, too.
"A lot of us didn't have real families, so, yeah, she is," Stepp said. "She'll box your ears when necessary, and love you when necessary."
These men know without a doubt they have someone in their corner, someone who cares about them, maybe for the first time they can remember. And they didn't know how much a difference that can make until they felt it.
"Your struggles don't disappear when you walk through this front door, but there are a lot of people here who will steer you in the right direction," Stepp said. "Sandy can look at you and see a change in you, that's how involved she is.
"To hear that come out of someone's mouth, to actually sit you down and say she's proud of you, that she's seen some improvement, that means a lot."
There is no magic dust at Another Chance. They've had their failures, their dropouts, but they've had many more successes.
Be the change you want to see in this world, Indian pacifist Mohandas Gandhi said. If these men want to change, support from their peers and Fenberg can help like none before.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Down to Earth
by craigmc
Review: mainly a shop selling organic good. has a good selection of pre-packaged veggie snacks, ideal for lunch. salad, sushi rolls and sandwiches. have a small selection of fresh specials, and limited seating if you want to eat in. there is large park next door, so if the weather is nice the seating is plentiful either on a bench or on the grass. do nice coffee as well

Midwest Tomato Fest: fun or wasteful? [VIDEO]
Three young entrepreneurs who met at St. Thomas are conspiring to create a local version of Spain's La Tomatina village-wide tomato fight on July 31 at Afton Alps, charging each participant $30 to throw all the tomatoes they want and listen to live music.
The organizers say they've arranged for a Kansas-based distributor to ship 200,000 pounds of tomatoes from four different states--overripe tomatoes past their sale date that would otherwise be thrown away.
But might those tomatoes be of use to the one in 10 Minnesotans who are food insecure?
I talked to the folks at Second Harvest Heartland, who operate an extensive food rescue program, to find out if they thought the tomatoes might be salvageable, but, not knowing exactly what condition the tomatoes were in, they weren't able to say. (Though they did suggest that Midwest Tomato Fest consider donating a portion of their proceeds to their organization's hunger-fighting efforts.)
What do you think? Are you pumped to pelt people with tomatoes? Is the Midwest Tomato Fest good, not-so-clean fun, or wasteful? Join the discussion and comment below. (To get a sense of the event, watch the video below of last year's La Tomatina.)

Read an Excerpt
Alana Davis checked the rearview mirror again. The dark-colored car was still following her.
"Oh, God," she mumbled.
It couldn't be the security guard. It just couldn't be. Because if he'd managed to catch up with her, Alana figured this time he would kill her.
She couldn't stop, not even to find a pay phone and call the police. Not that there'd been a pay phone anywhere along the way from the secluded house in the woods where she'd been held captive. Nor was there one along the highway that had taken her nearly an hour to find. Luckily, the car she'd stolen from the front of the house had nearly a full tank of gas.
And thankfully, she'd seen the sign to the town of Willow Ridge.
The guard and a nurse had force-fed her a partial dose of sedatives only hours earlier, so it'd taken Alana a while to fight through dizziness and make the connection. Willow Ridge was just one of those floating memories that she couldn't immediately link to anything or anyone. But then she remembered Jack Whitley, the town's sheriff. He'd helped her.
She couldn't remember what he'd done exactly, but she instinctively knew she could trust him.
Alana couldn't say that about anyone else.
She certainly couldn't trust the guard or nurse. Or her brother. In fact, one of them must have been responsible for her captivity.
But which one?
And why?
She didn't know the answer to either question, but Jack Whitley would be able to find out.
Lightning rifled through the night sky. A few seconds later, thunder came, a thick rumbling groan. Shivering, she made the final turn that would take her to Willow Ridge. Even with the rain and her spotty vision, she could see the other vehicle make the turnright along behind her. He stayed close. Too close.
Alana added some pressure to the accelerator and sped through deep puddles that had already collected on the road. The car's wipers slashed over the windshield, smearing the rain on the glass so it was even harder for her to see. Her pulse raced out of control.
She maneuvered the car around a sharp curve. The tires squealed in protest at the excessive speed, and she checked the mirror again. The other vehicle stayed right with her, the high-beam headlights glaring into her eyes.
It certainly wasn't safe to race through a raging summer storm at ten o'clock at night, but she didn't want to face that guard on this deserted road. She had no weapon, no way to defend herself. Worse, she was exhausted and wondered if she'd be able to stand, much less fight.
Ahead of her, she finally saw the town lights. Welcome signs of civilization and help.
Going even faster, she sped toward Main Street, flanked on both sides with shops, a diner, even a white church with a steeple. Letting some vague, fuzzy memories guide her, she drove toward the center of the tiny town and spotted the sheriff's office.
Alana braked to a stop, glanced behind her and saw nothing. No car. No headlights.
No one.
Relief flooded through her. Maybe the guard had gotten scared and driven away. Still, she didn't just sit there. He might be lurking on a side street, waiting to grab her and take her back to that house in the woods.
Rain pelted her when she got out of the car. She was already cold and shivering, and the wetness didn't help. Alana ran toward the glass-front door of the sheriff's office. Each step was an effort. Her muscles were stiff, her hands throbbed from where she'd gripped the steering wheel and the dizziness was worse than it had been during her escape.
Why did everything seem out of focus? And wrong. Something was wrong. But what?
She threw open the door, and the burst of air from the AC spilled over her. It was dark in the front section of the building, but there was a light on in a room at the middle of a short narrow hall.
"Sheriff Whitley?" Her voice was barely a whisper.
She saw something move in the shadows, and a moment later, a man stepped out. Alana got just a glimpse of him before another stab of lightning flashed in the sky and the lights went out.
Oh, mercy. Had the guard done this? Was he coming after her?
"Calm down," the man said. It was Jack Whitley's voice. "If you keep breathing like that, you'll hyperventilate and I'm fresh out of paper bags." She heard his footsteps come closer. "You afraid of the dark?"
"No." Her voice still had little sound.
"Well, not to worry," Jack said as if he didn't believe her. "The storm must have knocked out the town's transformer, but we have a generator. It'll kick on in a minute or two."
He came closer still, and she caught his scent. He smelled like coffee and chocolate cake. "Did your car break down?"
Alana's teeth started to chatter. And she glanced back at the door to make sure the guard wasn't there. "Someone was following me."
Even though she couldn't see his reaction, she could feel it. He tensed and hurried past her to go to the door. "I don't see anyone," he said, looking out. "Is that your car parked out front?"
She was about to explain, but something else about him changed. The silence was heavy, making it easier to hear him draw his gun.
"I'm pretty sure the license plate matches a vehicle that was reported stolen just about an hour ago," he informed her. "The owner said the person who stole it a womanshould be considered armed and dangerous. I'm guessing you're that woman, huh?"
Her heart jolted. Dizziness came again, and she had to lean against the wall to keep from falling.
This was certainly a complication Alana hadn't expected. That guard had some nerve to report his car stolen after he'd held her captive. And better yetto call her armed and dangerous. The guard had been the one with the gun.
"I did steal the car," she admitted. "But I had to. They were holding me captive."
"They?" It was his cop's voice. Laced with skepticism and authority.
"A guard and a nurse. I don't know their names, but I can describe them." Well, she could if she didn't pass out first. "They held me at a house in the woods for a long time. But I escaped."
"How'd you manage to do that?" He didn't believe that, either. She could tell from his tone.
"I spit out some of the meds they always gave me at night. And I pretended to fall asleep. Then I sneaked out of my bedroom, grabbed the guard's keys and ran. I drove away before he could stop me. But there must have been another car somewhere on the grounds, and he used it to come after me."
Jack Whitley made a sound that could have meant anything. "I need you to turn around and place your hands flat against the wall."
"You're arresting me?" She clamped her teeth over her bottom lip to keep it from shaking. Too bad she couldn't do something to stop the rest of her body from trembling. Mercy, she was freezing.
"I'm placing you in custody," he corrected, "until I can get this straightened out. Go ahead. Hands on the wall. I need to search you."
Alana had no idea what else to do, so she complied. The painted concrete block wall was smooth against her palms, and she rested her head against it, as well, hoping it'd help her think straight.
The overhead fluorescent lights crackled on, and she heard him walk closer. "Legs slightly apart," he ordered. "And don't make any sudden moves."
Alana held her breath while he ran his left hand over her wet cotton nightgown. Down her bare legs, all the way to her equally bare feet. He repeated the process on the inside of her legs and thighs. She made a slight involuntary hitching sound when the back of his hand brushed her there. It was a reminder for her that she wasn't wearing any panties.
The sheriff made a similar sound, but his was more of surprise. Maybe now he'd believe that she had truly escaped with literally just the gown on her back.
"I think you've got a fever," he let her know. "You might be sick."
A fever. That might explain why she felt so horrible.
"Turn around, slowly," he said, his voice a little gentler now. "We'll go into my office, and you can sit down. If you're not feeling better after a few minutes, I can drive you to the hospital and have your temperature checked."
Alana did turn, but she kept her weight against the wall in case her legs gave way. She got her first good look at the man she had thought she could trust. Now she wasn't so sure.
It was Jack Whitley all right.
She recognized that midnight-black hair. Those intense gunmetal-blue eyes. He wore jeans and a white shirt with his badge clipped onto a wide leather belt with a rodeo buckle. Definitely a cowboy cop in both appearance and attitude.
"I told you the truth about being held hostage," Alana insisted.
But if he heard her, there was no indication of it. His eyes widened, then narrowed. "Alana Davis?" he snarled.
"You remember me." The intense look in his eyes was scaring her.
"Yeah. I remember you."
Too bad she couldn't recall exactly what she'd done to rile him. And there was no mistaking that she'd done just that. "You helped me."
He glared at her. "Eight months ago, I pulled you from your car when you went over the bridge at Mill's Creek."
Yes. Images flashed through her mind. Icy water. She couldn't breathe. Trapped in her car. She tried to make the pieces fit and finally nodded. "You saved my life."
He didn't take his eyes off her. "And you ran away from the hospital the first chance you got. You didn't tell anyone why you were leaving or where you were going."
Alana didn't remember that at all. Why would she have done that?
"Look, I don't know what game you're playing, or why you showed up here like this. But it doesn't matter," he stated. "You're not getting Joey back."
"Joey?" She shook her head.
That riled him even more. "Are you saying you don't remember him?"
Alana forced herself to concentrate on that name. Joey. But it meant nothing to her.
"I'm confused about some things. Not about being held captive," she admitted. "Or you rescuing me from my car eight months ago. I know those things happened. But I think this fever's making it hard for me to concentrate."
"Right." That was all he said for several long moments. "I'll call the doctor and see if he's still at the hospital," he grumbled.
Jack shoved his gun back into his shoulder holster, caught her arm and led her to his office. He put her in the chair adjacent to his cluttered desk, and snatched up the phone.
While Jack made a call to the doctor, Alana tried to force herself to think, to assemble the memories that were fragmented in her head.
Had she really left the hospital after Jack saved her?
"My brother," she mumbled. Then she groaned. Maybe her brother, Sean, had heard about her accident and had done what he usually did.
Taken over her life.
If she'd been incapacitated, he would have had her removed from the hospital. And yes, he would have done that without telling anyone, including the sheriff. Sean wouldn't have approved of the medical care, or lack thereof, that she might be getting in a small country hospital.
And had Sean then taken her to the house in the woods?
Probably not.
Alana leaned forward so she could lay her head on Jack's desk. There weren't many bare spots on the scarred oak, but there was plenty of stuff. A flyer showed a picture of a woman with the word missing beneath her name, Kinley Ford. Several old newspapers. An outdated chunky computer monitor, stacks of files, not one but two chipped coffee mugs, a half-eaten slice of chocolate cake on a saucer.
She saw the fax about the car she'd supposedly stolen and would have gotten angry all over again if she hadn't spotted a framed photograph of Jack holding a baby boy. The baby wore denim overalls, a miniature cowboy hat and red boots. Both Jack and the baby were grinning.
Staring at the baby, Alana reached for the picture, but Jack snatched it away from her and put it into his center desk drawer.
"The doctor's on his way here," he relayed the second he hung up the phone.
That was good. But it wasn't the doctor or her fever that had her attention now. It was the little boy in the picture. "Who's Joey?" she asked.
Jack Whitley cursed under his breath. "What the hell's the matter with you?"
She flinched at his hard tone. "The fever, I guess. But you already know that. Please tell mewho's Joey?"
For several long moments, he didn't say anything. Alana was afraid he might not tell her. For reasons she didn't understand, it was suddenly critical that she know.
"Joey's the baby you gave birth to eight months ago," Jack informed her.
Jack leaned in and got right in her face. "Joey's the little boy you abandoned at Willow Ridge Hospital." He stabbed his index fingers at her. "And if you think you can get him back after all this time, then think again. Because Joey is mine."

Has the Stock Market Become TDD Narrow?
Kopcke, Richard W., New England Economic Review
Vice President and Economist, Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. The author thanks Richard Brauman for his very helpful research assistance.
The price of equity has soared during the past five years--the value of the Standard & Poor's index of 500 stocks, for example, tripled between December 1994 and December 1999, rising an average 25 percent annually. This rapid appreciation of equities, at a pace more than double previous postwar experience, has stoked concerns that stocks' prices might have risen too far, too fast. These concerns became more pressing as the values of equities rose much more rapidly than earnings during 1998 and early 1999, lifting stocks' prices to record highs relative to their earnings.
Although many indexes of stocks' prices continued to rise sharply in 1998 and 1999, fewer stocks contributed to this performance, perhaps signifying cracks in the foundation of the current bull market. During these years, the market became more narrow as the running count of stocks whose prices were rising fell behind that for stocks whose prices were dropping. In 1999, the prices of just over half the stocks constituting the S&P 500 fell. For many companies, a bear market seemingly had begun.
This article reviews the valuation of the equities constituting the S&P 500 index between 1968 and 1999. Although the ranks of the winners thinned and the gap separating the performance of the winners from laggers increased, the value of most equities remained high by historical standards. Even though prices for many companies' stocks fell, they fell from very high levels, and they remained high relative to earnings across the S&P 500.
Despite the disparity in the performance of equities in 1999, the relatively high value of the S&P 500 index that prevailed through the fall of 2000 reflected shareholders' optimistic view of earnings in coming years. This optimism might be the market's principal weakness. For companies' earnings to support the current valuation of equity, the economy must grow unusually rapidly for the next decade and beyond. Its potential rate of growth in coming years would need to be as much as one and one-half times its previous post-World War II average. Although recent experience suggests that potential growth has increased significantly, this evidence does not yet confirm that growth has increased sufficiently or will last long enough to pay the expected dividends.
The first section of this article analyzes the recent performance of the stocks that constitute the S&P 500, comparing the distribution of the annual rates of appreciation of the stocks, their price-earnings ratios, and forecasts of the growth of their earnings. The second section analyzes the price-earnings ratio for the S&P 500, describing the contribution of shareholders' required rates of return, the expected growth of earnings, and the growth of the economy to the valuation of the 500. The final section concludes the article.
I. The Wings of Hope
The strong performance of some popular indexes of stocks' prices masked a growing weakness in the prices of many companies' stocks in 1998 and 1999. In this regard, the stock market seems to have become more narrow. From 1994 to 1999, Standard & Poor's index of prices of 500 stocks rose, on average, 25 percent annually. During each of the first three years of this run, the prices of two-thirds of these stocks rose more than 10 percent, which was the average annual increase in the index since the end of World War II. After 1997, however, the performances of the stocks that constitute the index varied more substantially. During 1999, the prices of more than one-half of the 500 stocks fell, even as the index rose 20 percent, and fewer stocks accounted for a larger share of the increase in the total market value of the S&P 500. Nevertheless, in spite of this apparent weakness, the value of equities remained generally high, anticipating a bright prospect for earnings. …

I test drove a 2004 Honda CR-V (at a Honda dealership) and there was a strange rubbing noise every time I reached 40 mph, while both speeding up and slowing, as well as with and without my foot on the gas or brake. Sounded like it was coming from the rear. Any ideas what this could be???

I still keep my security question as the first school I attended because it is one of those memories that can never be forgotten. It's about the first and foremost friends we make. It is about the cry of joy and pain of moving out of our parents' sanctum. Nursery schools are the best thing that can happen to a child. Whenever I am near my kindergarten school, I still go out there to meet my teachers. Preschools are more than an educational institution, they are our first playground where we officially begin our learning process. Some things can never be forgotten and our preschools are one of them.
Journey of a lifetime
Nursery school is a distinguished phase of a child's life. It is his/ her foremost step into the world. Generally, a preschool is for a child between the age of 3 and 5 years. During this time a child is taught by means of fun and frolic. He or she is made aware that he world is far more bigger than his or her home. In a preschool a child is taught with utmost care and patience because firstly, it is to nurture manners and understanding of the world and secondly to enable him to love the world and not hate it. Being harsh with children of this age is not a good proposition.
First a child is taught to draw straight lines, horizontal and then vertical. Then he or she is taught to draw curves and write alphabets and numbers. At the same time he/ she is also taught reading and speaking correct accent and pronunciation. The children are taken care of with absolute love and affection. There easy games like racing, lemon and spoon race, PT etc. are also taught to make them energetic. They are moulded in a frivolous manner, that they become similar to fruit bearing trees.
The system of kindergarten is borrowed from the ancient Hindu teaching system of gurukul, wherein a student was sent to live with his teachers similar to a boarding school. A different name was coined but the roots of the idea come from here. Play schools are one of the most memorable times of a child's life and these memories do not leave a person till his/ her death. A person experiences the joy of play schools thrice in his/her life, viz. his/her time, his/her child's time and finally his/her grandchild's time.
