I need a script that will track individual clicks from separate affiliates giving them a payout based on a per click. example I pay them .20 per click.
This would need to be able to geo redirect so I can have all usa/canada traffic running through.
Each individual person would need their own username and password to login and view their link they need to send out as well as a way to redirect all their non usa/canada (or whatever I chose to redirect).
It will need to show them stats of how many clicks that day and also reset at the end of the day (24 hour period.)

My kids always want to give something to their dad on Father's Day that's just from them. And since they've passed the phase of coloring pictures of themselves with dad, or making him a cardboard tie – they're needing some ideas they can afford on their own allowance. Here are some ideas to help you help them get ready – 11 Father's Day Gifts from Kids under $5!
Magazine Subscriptions
A great way to show dad you "get" him – just let him relax and enjoy his golf or baseball magazine in peace and quiet Amazon currently has TONS of $5 Magazine Subscriptions.
For gifting, it's best to snag the current issue at the store so he has something to open while you wait for the subscription to arrive.
Coffee Mug or Travel Mug
Dad's who like their coffee will like a mug that speaks to their manly side. This John Wayne Travel Mug is a fun one – and an add-on item for only $4.58! Or get a custom photo mug from York Photo for only $2.99 with code DRANK (through 4/14)

Grilling Apron with Handprints
Pick up an inexpensive dollar store apron and have the kids put their handprints on it in paint. Stencil their names, or write "King of the Grill" on the front – like this one over at rockinmama.
Ice Ball Maker
This ice ball maker is just one of those cool things dad would open and love. I say this because it's been on the best-seller list for MONTHS on Amazon and my husband wants one too. Don't question it – it's just a dude thing I guess. (Some of these are $5 or under, and some are just a buck or so more)
Movie Ticket
If dad's a movie-lover, a pass to go see a movie one Saturday afternoon might be right up his alley. You can get them a little cheaper at matinee prices – or search out a cheap theater near you where they show slightly older films.
Photo Mousepad
If he works in an office – a photo mousepad is something dad can take with him that won't claim any of the limited space on his desktop . Personalize it with pics of the kids doing fun things with dad. York Photo usually has a deal for one on their Special Offers page – or at least a 40% OFF Photo Gifts code. If they're not currently offering any good mouse pad specials, you can always get one at Walmart for $9.96
Dad's Favorite Snacks Basket
Have your child interview dad about his favorite snacks – and then print out some coupons and head to the store to get as much goodies as their allowance will allow. Help them put it together so it looks cute and rent a superhero movie from the Redbox for a nice evening of bonding.
A $5 Giftcard
Sometimes dads just need to treat themselves to a new crossword puzzle book, or some Starbucks or Baskin Robbins or Five Guys. Knowing their child spent some of their allowance to give them that little treat is kind of heartwarming
New Tacklebox & Lure
For the fishing dad, you can never have too many tackleboxes. More places to put all those new lures you want Amazon has several smaller boxes for around $3 – $5, so your kids should have enough $$ left to pick up a new lure too!
Inspirational Books
If you have a faith-filled dad, he might like an inspirational book. Some of them are a little pricey, but here are a few that are just $5 from Family Christian.
Nice Framed Picture
Find a good pic of dad and the kids and let them pick out a nice new frame. Kohl's often has some nice frames at big discounts.
I hope some of these Father's Day gift ideas under $5 helps you out! And we'd LOVE to hear any you can add to the list
And for a completely free – but utterly meaningful gift for the man you love, I highly recommend doing the Love List Challenge.

Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Quimberley is 20 years old. She does not have any children yet and is currently living with her partner. Quimberley makes a living selling special foods that she home delivers. At the weekend she works with her husband. Quimberley is enterprising, energetic and feisty. She is always putting in the effort to earn an income to support the household. She is applying for this loan because she wishes to buy supplies (such as vegetables, meat, condiments, dairy products) to prepare the foods and to pay the deposit on a motorcycle that she will use to make home deliveries more easily and on time. With this she will be able to increase her sales and, thus, her profits. Quimberley's biggest dream is to start her own restaurant that would allow her to earn a higher income and improve her family's quality of life.

Additional Information
Important Information
This loan is structured on Kiva as a bullet loan, which means a single payment is required at the end of the loan term. By Colombian law, Kiva's partner Interactuar is required to offer borrowers loans with a variable interest rate that fluctuates with the market rate. Because fixed monthly payments are applied first to interest and then to principal, Interactuar is unable to predict upfront what portion of each repayment would go towards the loan principal. This creates a challenge with Kiva's system, which doesn't allow for unpredictable principal payments, and can result in some Interactuar clients appearing falsely delinquent. To remedy this, the loan has an end-of-term repayment plan on Kiva, but the borrower will continue scheduled monthly repayments to Interactuar, who will then pass along the principal amount to Kiva lenders. This means that you may see repayments made on this loan throughout the repayment term, as opposed to receiving repayment in full at the end of the loan term.

�Into the Storm� is as close to a real tornado as most of us would ever want to get. Its effects are so spectacular that it makes �Twister� look like �The Wizard of Oz.� You wonder, as immersive as all those objects flying off the screen are, why they didn�t film it in 3D. Secretly, you�re grateful they didn�t.
But as impressive as the effects can be, as effective as the blend of TV news helicopter POV shots, security camera footage, cell-phone video and storm chaser images mimicked here turn out, the human stories are given short shrift in this �spend our budget on effects� action picture.
Late in the season, �Tornado Alley� storm chaser Pete (Matt Walsh) hasn�t scored the money shot. He�s a freelancer with the backing to get the image nobody else has � the �eye� of the tornado, shots from inside the vortex. He�s got a hired gun meteorologist, Allison (Sarah Wayne Callies); Titus, a veritable tank of a chase vehicle; some young videographers; and backers about to pull the plug on this venture if he doesn�t produce.
Where �Into the Storm� makes you appreciate 1996�s �Twister� is in the ways the new film makes the victims mostly anonymous, even if their deaths are spectacular. There�s a reason movies are cast with movie stars, and this film makes you appreciate that, with every under-reaction to something this character or that one has never seen before, performances that lack urgency, panic or even awe.
Director Steven �Final Destination 5� Quale never gives his cast of unknowns the chance to achieve empathy with the characters except very late in the picture. That�s also, belatedly, when a ticking clock kicks in and we start to fear for characters� lives.
That�s when the characters do what the audience does � gawk, in shock and something like awe. In a disaster picture, that only gets you so far.

Whites. Even though his head looks like it is going to explode off of his neck because they are too tight. He still looks damn good in them.

Definitely the whites. Although, the dress blues are a close second. He wore them at our wedding.
Dress blues.
I have a thing for black. Lol. When my husband and I got married, he was in his dress blues, too. And when we got our family photos done, he wore his dress blues.
I guess I kinda hold that uniform close to my heart. I remember my dad wearing his quite a bit when he was in the Navy.
i have not seen hubby in his dress whites . i do love the dress blues on him .
Mommy to 2 beautiful girls
I love dress whites, working whites and desert camis! I'm an all around kinda girl.. not a huge fan of the dress blues, dont know why... just dont care for them as much.
They all do it for me, as long as they are cleaned and pressed. Dress whites and blues are the best though.
Trying to be productive while Miss Mischievous 9 Captain Destructor 7 The Comedian 6 and Little Leprechaun 2 do all they can to stop me
I love them all for different reasons. I love that they all make his butt look good, LOL. His desert camis were nice too.

Oklahoma mothers rally behind owner of Oklahoma City shut down by DHS
Tuesday's Department of Human Services' emergency closure of Vickie Thompson's northwest Oklahoma City home-based day care has outraged several parents, many of whom claim their children were traumatized by the way DHS employees and police officers handled the situation. "When I go to work, I do not have a concern for my children's safety. When I drop them off at that day care, I know they are in wonderful hands," said Nerissa Parks, who had two children at the home day care when it was shut down. "It's just complete harassment." Thompson told The Oklahoman on Thursday she plans to appeal the closure. "There wasn't any kid in danger," said Thompson, whose home day care is at 10100 Donna Court. DHS and police executed an emergency closure order at the day care about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. Thompson was cited for inadequate supervision after DHS reported that an unsupervised 12-year-old child was observed Sept. 11 "sitting in a dark garage, in the back seat of a vehicle." DHS also objected to the 12-year-old child being permitted to supervise a younger child by walking the girl back from a bus stop down the street. Thompson also was cited for exceeding her 12-child capacity by one and for having too many young children in her care. Parks said she is the mother of a 6-year-old girl — the student referred to in the order as being escorted from the bus stop by a 12-year old. Parks said she had no problem with the setup. The bus stop was in plain sight of the day care a supervisor, Parks said. "Numerous kids walk home from school by themselves," Parks said. Shameika Thomas, the mother of the 12-year-old, said she also approved. "We're a big family." "We all know each other. ... I'm thinking my daughter is responsible enough to go to the end of a block and get a child off a bus." Thomas said her daughter, Zaria, was the child referred to as being unsupervised in the garage. Thomas said Zaria just wanted some quiet time to listen to her MP3 player. "My child was not in any danger," Thomas said. "Miss Vickie would never harm a child." Three other mothers with children at the day care — Nicole Anderson, Jenean Estrada and Adrina Grayson — told The Oklahoman they think Thompson has done a wonderful job caring for their children and plan to strongly support her in her appeal. The women said what they didn't appreciate was the way DHS and police handled the closure. "When I went in the house it was total chaos," Estrada said. "They told me my child's life was in danger and they were doing an emergency shutdown." Parks said a police officer was in a child care provider's face, screaming at her as the worker held Parks' child in her arms. Another of Parks' children started screaming and crying because of the drama, Parks said. Parks said she became even more upset when she looked at the DHS worker's Facebook page later and saw where she had written that she was tired from having to shut down a day care and had to get "comfort food." "How unprofessional is that?" she asked. Lauri Monetti, a DHS spokeswoman, said the decision to close the day care came after she was cited for a series of violations over several months, including being over capacity, lack of supervision, fire safety violations and issues with food and the cleanliness where diapers are changed. Monetti said it is DHS's policy to take a police officer along on emergency closures and acknowledged the officer did get loud during a discussion that took place after Thompson declined to meet in private. Thompson said she has operated a home day care for four years and always got along well with DHS workers until the current worker came on the scene. She said previous workers would point out potential problems and make recommendations on how to correct them, but the current worker only seems interested in writing her up for violations.

The heater and A/C does not work at all. When we were using the A/C it was only working up front - the rear would not work at all. Now that it's freezing outside, the heater stopped working as well. When you turn it on, you can hear it running, but it will not blow out of the vents front or rear. If you let the heat run for a while (about 30 mins) it will start blowing out of the front vents, but it is cold air. Have constantly checked fluid levels and all are fine, van was just tuned up in September and supposed to have been checked out for any issues which obviously the mechanic hired ripped us off with.

News: Pakistan to buy more Chinese fighters?
Published 11 November 2009, 12:36
Pakistan may buy up to 36 Chinese J-10 fighter aircraft.
November 10: The UKs Financial Times reports that Pakistan may buy up to 36 Chinese J-10 fighter aircraft in a deal worth $1.4bn.
It is believed that the J-10 version being considered by the Pakistan Air Force is the FC-20, an export version that would comply with Pakistani avionics requirements. It would be operational by 2015. The J-10 is regarded by the industry as a fourth-generation fighter, similar in capability to the latest versions of the F-16 and Saabs Gripen.
Pakistan has bought Chinese-built fighters in the past it operates 100 Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation (CAIC) F-7P Airguards, a licence-built version of the elderly MiG-21 Fishbed produced as recently as 2006, in three front-line squadrons as well as 26 Shenyang Aircraft Corporation FT-5/6s, based upon the even older MiG-17.
The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) has recently teamed up with CAIC to produce the JF-17 Thunder light fighter, the first examples being delivered to Pakistan in mid-March 2008. The first squadron, No. 26, is expected to stand-up in early 2010 and Pakistan may eventually buy up to 250.

Matt Carpenter drove in three runs on three hits as the Cardinals topped the Padres 7-6 at Busch Stadium. Jon Jay drove in two runs in the win and Carpenter added a solo shot.
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny confirmed the status of his bullpen following Sunday's win over the Padres. Matheny said Trevor Rosenthal is still the closer.

Audio CD won't display Track Title?
Infopackets Reader Jim B. writes:
" Dear Dennis,
I have Windows XP and Nero Express CD burning program. I have burned many audio CDs using .WAV, and .MP3 source sound files. The one thing that can't understand, however, is why the track titles never get burned onto my audio CD. They always show up as 'Track 1' and 'Track 2', instead of the actual song title. Can you recommend a good burning program that will burn titles also? "
My response:
Just to recap: the type of CD you are referring to is a standard audio CD -- the kind that you can play in virtually any CD player. In comparison, MP3 audio CDs (containing only .MP3 files) can only be played in a special MP3-player, or using your computer.
Furthermore: almost all MP3 files store Song Title information, whereas .WAV sound files do not. When you create a standard audio CD, the Song Title information from an .MP3 file is typically omitted, unless you burn the standard audio CD using a feature called CD Text.
The CD Text feature has been around for quite some time, but is not very widely supported. CD Text will only work on a standard audio CD if and only if:
a) your CD burner and CD burner software support CD Text
b) your CD player can read CD Text
Nero burning ROM has a feature to add CD Text to standard Audio CDs: to enable / disable / edit the CD text, you have to right-click each music file after it's been added to your compilation, and set the CD Text (it should be set by default as the name of the file).

Former fire chief and lifetime Ridgefield resident Bill Bartel, 91, died Wednesday evening at his home.
Bartel was born in Ridgefield in 1919 and lived his entire life on the 250-acre family homestead.
In 1946 he married Bernice Lorang. Bartel and Bernice were married nearly 65 years and raised three children, Linda Hoffman, Larry Bartel and Pete Bartel, all of Ridgefield.
He was a farmer until the day he died, said his niece Mary Bochart of Ridgefield, and drove a tractor well into his 90th year. Bartel farmed strawberries, potatoes and hay, raised cattle, built pole buildings, worked as a longshoreman in Vancouver and ran a construction company. He always owned a dog and could often be seen driving the tractor with one in his lap.
In 1962, Bartel was instrumental in the formation of Clark County Fire District 12 where he served as chief for many years.
Bartel was interested in local politics and founded the Fair Tax League and campaigned for local and state candidates. "Bill was very generous," said another niece, Evelyn Reese of Vancouver. "He was always willing to help people."
Although Bartel never went to high school — as the youngest son in a farm family he was expected to stay home and work after eighth grade — he was all for education. "He liked school," said Reese.
In 2004, Bartel sold 50 acres to the Ridgefield School District for a new high school. He received an honorary diploma from Ridgefield in 2004 during a special ceremony. Reese and Bochart agreed their uncle was disappointed he didn't get to see the new high school built. Bochart said, "He never would have sold the land if it were for anything else but a school."
Bartel was very social. Bochart said his friends and neighbors meant a lot to him and he was the anchor of the Bartel family.

Wow. First, what an informative forum! I have spent the better part of a week reading up on as much as I can before I make this post. Truth is, I'm at the point where I could really use some experienced advice.
Feel free to skip this part:
My wife and I live in hilly Utah going to school and with spring approaching, we've been seriously considering cycling. We are both huge athletes (namely soccer) and think this could be a fun activity to do together and stay in shape. Last summer was spent longboarding (amazing in the mountains btw), but after 4 months out on a broken leg, I'm ready for something less hazardous to my well-being.
I want to buy/tune up two bikes by May (one for me, one for her). My budget is around $200 per bike. My plan is to being visiting pawn shops, checking yard sales, keeping an eye on my local craigslist/ksl.com (local thing), and find something older. Problem is, I'm not sure what to look for. I think, with mountainous terrain we would prefer gears but I'm not ruling fixed gear bicycles out at this point.
(1) What are the better frames to look for? (top 5?)
(2) What are the better components to look for?
(3) What are sure signs to steer clear from?
(4) Are my budget expectations reasonable?
I've found a wealth of good info on how to maintain the bikes and how to upgrade, but I have struggled to pinpoint what are the best bikes to look for in the first place and how to spot a good deal. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again and I look forward to learning more from this community!

The premier institute of Pakistan, one of the most culturally diverse and accepting learning environments in the country and a sure-shot guarantee for a successful future (a tad ambitious but you've heard this one too), Lahore University of Management Sciences lives true to all the expectations that it projects. Founded in 1984, the university functions via four schools which enable students to major in business, science and engineering, humanities and law.
Here at LUMS, everyone strives hard at encouraging excellence and nurturing innovation and we are constantly reminded of these values by the campus itself. Before you can find any room for improvement within the campus, you can see it being tended to. The wide and growing palate of degree programs that the university offers, its state-of-the-art infrastructure and 31 active student societies are just some examples of how tenets like innovation and development are rooted within and reflected through every aspect of the university.
Needless to say, if you have heard about LUMS, you have heard about the countless stories and myths associated with it. It is only after you have lived here that you discover the truth behind some of them and the absolute ludicrousness behind others. However, one thing is true and it is this: LUMS has earned its name after being ruthless when it comes to academic workload. It is unrelenting and it makes you feel tortured, in the truest sense of the word. But if you've heard of the Pygmalion affect (do google it if you haven't), you'll understand how students manage it. People here expect a lot from you. You are treated like an adult the moment you set foot here and believe it or not, you end up expecting a lot more from yourselves than you thought yourself capable of. That is the amount of empowerment, responsibility and personal growth that this university inculcates in you through its subtle and subliminal ways. It's wonderful.
Balance is maintained by ample opportunities to blow off the accumulated steam. There is an abundance of social and recreational events to keep students functioning at the optimum whilst staying humans. LUMS with its seductive beauty, lively people and alluring parties is sufficient just with these qualities to mesmerize anyone for life. It has that bewitching charm from which few can escape which is why once you become a Luminite, you stay a Luminite for life. With your admission here, be prepared to have your horizons broadened, characters ennobled and experience opportunities that you could not have contemplated before. A beautiful, exhilarating and unbelievable journey awaits you.
You adorably nervous newbies! We invite you to come join us at the very cherished, long lasting tradition of LUMS – O Week; a perfect welcome to what is soon to be your home! O Week is the perfect transition from being school kids, to the seemingly overwhelming, but very happening, very exciting university life. From being able to interact with the people you will spend most of your next four years with (and if you're lucky, more than just four) to figuring out what sorcery Zambeel is. From making sure you don't end up spiraling away in the very confusing, ever persistent Academic block, to getting to meet your brilliant, inspiring instructors. From ensuring you steer clear of the Disciplinary Committee, to unraveling mystery that is issuing a book in our humungous library. What better way to kick start this four year roller coaster ride than your very eager coaches guiding you, and the O Week title on the line. Socialization, networking, the much awaited carnival, our legacy events; the scavenger and photo hunts – this year's O week bring it all! Hope to see you all at what is to be the best on week of your academic life, and the perfect stepping stone for the four years to come.
Orientation week is a very fresh concept here in Pakistan. Freshmen are usually welcomed into local universities through a welcome dinner where students dress to their best, eat food that is the staple of walimas and go back home having gained nothing more than an idea of what their batch looks like. LUMS O-Weeks have set a standard for how freshman ought to be welcomed in an institute and this year's event aims at surpassing all that you have heard about the five day journey that gets you acquainted with LUMS.
It wouldn't be bold to say that LUMS hosts one of the most interesting Orientation Weeks for its freshmen in the whole world. Few universities (even the best ones you know of) spend as much money, time and effort as LUMS does in putting together a weeklong event starting from 8 am and ending God knows when every night to make sure that its newest batch feels valued. That is how much freshmen to us! "Freshie" is a term of endearment that most seniors use to refer to freshmen and it is advised that the nick name be taken in its stride, in full glory and be owned with total respect. It is going to stick with you for a whole year, and it is charming, wouldn't you agree?
We won't give out a detailed schedule here because that would ruin the fun, and half the excitement is in not knowing what you will be put through. Nonetheless, there are some basics (subject to change depending on what we choose to do to you at whim) (Just kidding) (Not really) (Oh well here you go already):
As much as we wish that we give you the full list (this one's only half of it), we'll have to leave you here and let you discover all the other delicious activities (was that hinting at food? Yes, no, maybe) planned for you once you arrive. You're setting foot in the best university in the country and it has earned its title for good reason. We love our freshmen and we welcome you here with open arms. It's the only freshie friendly university you'll find in Pakistan so pack your joggers, deodorants, sun blocks alongside other things and get ready for the summer you've been waiting for all your life. It's O-Week'15 people!
The Law and Politics Society (LPS) is a student organization at LUMS that hopes to encourage legal and political discourse on international and national issues. It enables students to understand the application of legal principles, or obstacles in actual legal practice by addressing real-life situations in quality debates. Equally important is the society's dedication to promoting an interest in the professional aspect of law and politics. One cannot understate the importance of exposure to some kind of practical experience in the field law before stepping into the legal world. Through such initiatives, the Law and Politics society aids in the development of students' practical skills.
The patron of the society, Professor Sikander Ahmed Shah, deems the society as an upholder of hard work and academic excellence. Students from all majors with a keen interest in current affairs and national and international legal-political issues are invited to apply for membership. The society is composed of a majority of law students but also students from other majors such as Political Science, Engineering, Accounting and Finance and so on.
The structure of the society is such that the Executive Council (EC) is responsible for all decision-making. The Conveners help the Executive Council in overseeing the effective functioning of the departments. Each of the individual departments which comprise of the general body members are headed by Directors who are accountable to the EC and Conveners.

The society is known for arranging intriguing discussion seminars where well-known academics, activists, lawyers, politicians, television personalities and journalists are invited to speak on topics that are subject to heated debates. Renowned speakers that have previously been invited to speak on LPS events include, among many others, Imran Khan, Jibran Nasir, Pervez Hoodboy, the DG ISPR and Hina Rabbani Khar. The subjects of debate include amendments to the Pakistani Constitution, Pakistan's Foreign Policies, and areas of International Law. The society does not hesitate to tap into controversial issues and encourages students to participate in sessions by directly engaging with the guests. They are urged to question and criticize speakers while respecting their contrasting views. These events stir great interest in the LUMS community and prove that students are not afraid to voice their opinion.
The society organizes Moot Court Competitions to help students get a practical feel of the legal profession, with practicing lawyers and members of the judiciary as judges. The LPS works hard to arrange for prestigious internship opportunities with international organizations such as the United Nations. An internship could involve assisting lawyers, conducting fieldwork, or carrying out research. The LPS keeps information on law firms and Non-Governmental Organizations so that students who are interested in interning or working with them can correspond with the companies/organizations they are interested in.
LUMS Media Arts society is dedicated to promoting creativity through all forms of media in use today. Since its inception, LMA has been a part of various media ventures including photography and filmmaking. It is one of the largest student lead organizations at LUMS and we are proud to host events that include participants from all over the nation along with several international entries as well.
LMA is organized in two domains: Events and Productions. The coordination of the two departments results in successful execution of ideas and plans. In the past year, Filums, an international film festival, was a great success, attracting many experts in the field of media and filmmaking to come and share their experiences and knowledge with our students. It's been a platform for students from not only Pakistan but foreign countries as well to showcase their film making talents. Likewise, theLUMS Olympiad, one of the largest and most anticipated events at LUMS, was a huge success with over 800 participants from all over Pakistan. It included 21 competitions in diverse areas along with some of the grandest social events that LUMS has ever witnessed. LMA also premiered their Flagship film for this year, Khat-e-Falak, which is all-set to be premiered at various international film festivals as well. We started our very own Mini-Series this year by the name of LUMS Kahani, and it goes to show that LMA is open to ideas and welcomes all those who wish to express themselves on screen or behind the scenes! Next up on our agenda is the execution of one of our dream-projects, Documentary on Karakoram Highway, which aims to incorporate the vision of promoting the good in our country.
Along with these main events and projects, LMA hosts many Intra-LUMS events through the year, such as Karaoke Night which is a night dedicating to bad singing and just having fun, Movie Trivia where movie buffs can finally settle who knows more about what and Ushoot where lums students can go crazy making videos to compete against each other.
Not only is LMA one of the many faces of LUMS, but it is also an excellent example of how determination and ambition can make anything possible. And lastly, for those who hope to join LMA, know that you will not just be joining a society, but will also be becoming part of a family dedicated since 11 years to help people showcase and grow their skills and talents.
The LUMS Daily Student is the LUMS's flagship journalism society, priding itself for its prompt and precise coverage of events and happenings on campus and delivering an insight into life and times at LUMS. We, at the LUMS Daily Student, aim to bring a platform for self-expression to the LUMS community, promoting healthy discourse and discussion. We also provide our members with the opportunity to host the annual Convention for Aspiring Reporters and Media Anchors (CARMA) and the LUMS Journalism Festival (LJF). LDS also hosts a variety of Journalism related events throughout the year, including the Online Writing Competition, The World in Captions (TWC), workshops and seminars, granting the LUMS community exposure into the field of journalism and its nuances.
What are CARMA and LJF? CARMA and LJF are the LUMS Daily Student's flagship events.
Delegates attending CARMA are school-going students looking to attend a hands-on event that'll simulate live coverage of contentious events and broadcast news.
LJF, on the other hand, comprises entirely of seminars and workshops conducted by renowned journalists, designed for university students looking to enter into journalism as a career.
Whilst both events are varyingly different, they equally provide our members with a wealth of experience in areas of logistics, management and organization. They also grant them an opportunity to rub shoulders with professionals dominating the field of journalism.
The Music Society of LUMS is probably the only society at LUMS that will compel you to ponder upon the strangest of questions; like "Who is Oscar? Why is he always watching us?" "Will there EVER be cake? They always SAY there will be cake…" "Why does this society even have a baking department?!!"
All understandably valid, legitimate queries that you may or may not have the answer to as a senior in your last year in the society. However, what you experience during the journey to your discoveries in this bizarre society is probably the best part. It's possibly the only society where you don't feel pressured to fit into a certain mould, play by specific rules or change yourself in any way to fit the ideal, because frankly, we're all a bunch of idiots who don't take ourselves too seriously and merely share a love for music. We're also proud boasters as the only society that has a space just to itself; the Jam Room! Like a child whose diapers we've changed for a staggering 18 years, the Jam Room is a sacred, holy entity to us, where we come to unwind after a long day, jamming that song with our friends that always sounds atrocious but we still love to play anyway, or when we just want to hide from the world and sit alone and play an instrument to ourselves. With a jam (lol punz)-packed schedule, we have an event every other week, whether it's just an Open House gig where any Luminite is welcome to perform, Thriller Night, our Halloween-themed annual freak-show of a concert, the Battle of the Batches, where we act like teeli-baazes to incite a friendly rivalry between the batches, or our national and most (for us at least) feelz-inducing event, the LUMS Music Fest, where we invite musicians and music-enthusiasts from institutions all over the country to perform, get mentored by the best and, perhaps most importantly, to revitalize their faith in the scope for music in this country. Psst…and while we're at it, we're also responsible for A LOT of awesome concerts that overwhelm our neighbors with complaints.
So we'd love more than anything for you to join our little family! Or as we like to say:
Sports at LUMS (SLUMS) is the biggest student run society in LUMS, boasting involvement of over 60% of the total LUMS community, including LUMS students, staff and faculty members. It operates in tandem with the Sports, Wellness and Recreation Department. SLUMS believes that sports is one of the most integral parts of life at LUMS and is determined to make that integral part the best possible for all parties. The society hosts a lot of events over the year, involving both Intra-LUMS and Inter-Varsity tournaments. The Inter-Varsity tournaments can lay the claim of hosting participants from all across the country, all year round! The society is home to many different sports, 18 of them actually. This includes athletics, football, cricket, hockey, basketball, badminton, table tennis, netball and volleyball among others. This provides individuals with a wide range of abilities to get involved with sports. With over 90+ passionately attended intra LUMS events to look forward to throughout the year, LUMS has always been a sports driven community and that is unlikely to change soon.


text: I am trying to find a bread machine recipe (I own the latest and greatest West Bend Hi Riser and LOVE it!) that makes good sandwich bread. I've made two loaves and the crust on the bottom and sides is hard as a rock and thick. The top is fine. The bread is dense and my husband likes store bought bread. I'd like to switch him to my bread machine bread but can't seem to find a decent recipe for sandwich bread that is light and fluffy like store bought bread. Anyone got a good recipe or suggestions on how to do it in the bread machine?

Earthquakes happen every day by the hundreds, most of them too weak or remote to affect many people. But all that seismic noise is hiding the risk of catastrophic quakes, which have been periodically surprising us throughout human history. Rapid population growth along fault lines is now raising the stakes higher than ever — with dozens of big cities worldwide perched near a crack in the Earth's crust — and even people far from the fault can be affected via tsunamis, as the 2011 Japanese earthquake proved.
Humans are unfortunately powerless to stop such disasters, and despite major breakthroughs in seismology during the past century, we still aren't even very good at predicting them. But while that may sound hopeless, there are nonetheless many pre-emptive steps we can take to at least prepare for major earthquakes before they strike. Below is a quick look at what we know about the planet's geologic outbursts, and what you can do to be ready for one.
Earthquake origins
Earth's crust is always shifting and swirling around, a slow-motion shuffle that's partly fueled by liquid magma under our flaky outer layer. The crust floats atop this magma, broken into several jagged discs, called "tectonic plates," that constantly push and pull each other around the globe. Friction at these discs' edges is what causes earthquakes.
Tectonic plates tug away from each other along a giant scar, called the global mid-ocean ridge, that zigzags Earth's surface like the seam on a baseball (see map below). Magma rises, cools and hardens here as two plates churn out in opposite directions, forming new crust that may become dry land after a few million years on the conveyer belt.
Meanwhile, as new crust is born in the ocean, older crust is being pushed underground where tectonic plates collide, a potentially violent process that creates mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes. Seismic tremors can be released by converging plates in a few different ways, depending how their rocky edges crash and interact. These are the three basic types of earthquake faults:
• Normal fault: Many earthquakes occur when two sections of terrain have slipped vertically past one another along an inclined crack. If the rock mass above this type of inclined fault slides down, it's known as a "normal fault" (see animation at right). This is caused by tension as the tectonic plate is stretched outward from the fault, and it results in an overall extension of the surrounding landscape.
• Reverse fault: Also called a "thrust fault," this type of opening occurs when the rock mass above an inclined fault is thrust upward from below, pushing it farther on top of the other block of land. Both normal and reverse faults exhibit what geologists call "dip-slip" movement, but unlike normal faults, reverse faults are caused by compression rather than tension, resulting in a compaction of the terrain.
• Strike-slip fault: When two sides of a vertical fault slide past each other horizontally, it's known as a "strike-slip fault." These earthquakes are caused by shearing forces, generated when the rough edges of bedrock scrape together, catch on a jagged edge and then snap back into place. California's San Andreas fault is a strike-slip system, as is the fault that caused the recent quake and aftershocks in Haiti.
Seismic waves
The rock walls along a fault spend most of their time locked together, apparently motionless, but they can quietly build up enormous pressure over hundreds or thousands of years, then suddenly slip and release it all at once. The force from an earthquake comes in two basic kinds of waves — body waves and surface waves — that arrive in a series of three increasingly destructive blasts.
Body waves, which pass through the interior of the Earth, are the first to hit. The fastest ones are known as primary waves, or P waves, and because they're dispersed so widely and push rock particles ahead of or behind them, they're usually the least damaging. P waves are immediately followed by secondary body waves, or S waves, which also pass through the entire planet but are slower and displace rock particles off to the sides, which makes them more destructive. To someone standing on the ground, both P and S waves feel like a sudden jolt.
After the body waves, there may be a brief lull before the quake's final, most violent tremors hit. Surface waves pass only through the crust's upper layer, flowing horizontally like ripples through water. Witnesses often describe the ground as "rolling" during earthquakes, and these slow, high-amplitude surface waves are typically the most destructive part of a quake. Their rapid back-and-forth shaking is what causes much of the structural damage to buildings and bridges. (Surface waves are further subdivided into Love waves and Rayleigh waves, the latter being the most dangerous.)
Earthquake damage
The dangers we face from earthquakes come almost entirely from the built infrastructure around us. Aside from falling trees and rocks, the collapse of homes, schools, stores and office buildings is the No. 1 cause of death during a typical earthquake. Roads and bridges can also crumble due to ground shaking and displacement, a problem that occurred throughout San Francisco during its 1989 quake. Seismic waves have been known to flip cars and derail trains, as well as crush vehicles under tunnels and bridges or send them careening out of control.
Floods are another potential byproduct of earthquakes, since tremors sometimes break dams or twist rivers, and fires may be ignited by snapped gas lines or toppled lanterns, candles and torches. During the notorious 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the resulting fires (pictured above) did more damage and took more lives than the earthquake itself.
Tremors also loosen soil and may cause landslides, a threat that's higher near mountains, during rainy seasons and where trees are scarce (such as in Haiti, where widespread deforestation has increased the landslide risk). Even without steep hills or rain, however, earthquakes can also temporarily turn soil into a quicksand-like substance by mixing it with the groundwater below. Known as "liquefaction," this process produces a soupy mud that sinks people and buildings into the ground until the water table resettles and the dirt solidifies again.
But perhaps the most devastating way earthquakes use water for evil is by creating tsunamis — giant waves that can tower more than 100 feet high and crash onto beaches thousands of miles from the quake itself. When land lurches upward on an ocean-floor fault, it displaces huge amounts of water with nothing to stop it but the nearest shoreline. This happened in 2004 when a quake near Sumatra battered Southeast Asia with tsunamis (pictured above, in Thailand), and again across the northeastern coast of Japan in March 2011. It has also happened throughout history to almost every country that borders the Pacific Ocean.
Cities and fault lines
The Pacific Rim is infamous for earthquakes, dubbed the "Ring of Fire" for the seismic rumbling that frequents places such as Alaska, California, Hawaii, New Zealand, the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan. To the west, a pile-up of the Indian, Eurasian and Arabian plates creates another seismic hotspot, forging the Himalayan Mountains and spurring frequent earthquakes in Pakistan, Iran and southern Europe.
But while the Eastern Hemisphere may seem to suffer disproportionately, no place on Earth is truly safe from seismic waves. Disasters like the 2004 Sumatran tsunami, the 2005 Pakistan earthquake and the 2008 quake in Sichuan, China were so severe because they hit heavily populated areas, but San Francisco's long seismic history and recent events in Haiti illustrate similar risks in the West. (See the world map below for global quake hazards.) In fact, the two largest earthquakes in modern history occurred in the Americas: the magnitude-9.5 quake that hit Chile in 1960, and the magnitude-9.2 quake in Alaska's Prince William Sound four years later.
Earthquakes and volcanoes in the Americas tend to cling to the western coastline, but they can occur farther east, too. The Caribbean is one example, since it's home to several competing tectonic plates that make the region a seismic minefield. In addition to the recent magnitude-7.0 earthquake in Haiti and its ongoing aftershocks — one of which measured 6.1 on the Richter scale — smaller follow-ups were reported in northern Venezuela (magnitude 5.5), Guatemala (5.8) and the Cayman Islands (5.8). Geologists say the fault's pressure has now moved west, which means another major quake could be in store for western Haiti, southern Cuba or Jamaica.
In the United States, the land under several present-day cities has also suffered enormous tremors in the past that would likely obliterate their sprawling metro areas today. Among the most attention-worthy earthquake zones in the United States, scientists are especially focused on these five:
• San Andreas: California's iconic scar shifts along a series of strike-slip faults, caused by the Pacific plate grinding north against North America. It's considered a high-risk earthquake zone because several big cities are located nearby, putting millions of lives in danger whenever it ruptures. Previous quakes in 1906 and 1989 ravaged the San Francisco Bay Area, with the latter destroying most of the city by breaking water lines and starting fires. The San Andreas fault moves an average of 2 inches annually, meaning Los Angeles will be adjacent to San Francisco in about 15 million years.
• Pacific Northwest: North of San Andreas, a group of faults around Puget Sound make up one of the most dangerous earthquake hazards in North America. Known as the Cascadia subduction zone, this area releases a major "megathrust" earthquake about every 500 years. That last happened in 1700, when the Pacific Northwest was sparsely inhabited, but the Seattle and Vancouver metro areas have blossomed since then, making a repeat performance potentially catastrophic.
• Alaska: Seven of the 10 most powerful earthquakes that have ever occurred in the United States were in Alaska, including the massive Prince William Sound quake that rattled Anchorage in 1964. Alaska is the most seismically active U.S. state and one of the most dynamic hotspots on Earth, but its harsh climate has historically kept its human population — and therefore its earthquake death tolls — relatively low. Still, Anchorage is now much larger than in 1964, and cities from San Diego to Tokyo are always at risk from tsunamis spurred by Alaskan tremors.
• Hawaii: Not only is Hawaii seismically active itself, making the state susceptible to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, but it often takes hits from far-away earthquakes, too. The magnitude-8.1 quake that shook far eastern Alaska in 1946, for example, sent a tsunami south to Hilo on the Big Island, where it killed 159 people and caused $26 million in property damage. Eighteen years later, another tsunami hit Hawaii following the Prince William Sound quake of '64.
• New Madrid: The Eastern United States' strongest known earthquake occurred about 200 years ago in the lower [skipwords]Mississippi[/skipwords] River basin, wreaking havoc in Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas. It was actually a "swarm" of tremors, with residents of nearby New Madrid, Missouri, suffering an estimated 200 "moderate to large" earthquakes during the winter of 1811-'12 — five of them above magnitude 8. Homes were flattened, a new lake was formed and the [skipwords]Mississippi[/skipwords] River briefly flowed backward from sudden ground displacement. Only one death is linked to the quakes since the area was still so sparsely populated at the time, but if the New Madrid fault were to experience a similar event today, metro areas such as St. Louis (pictured above) and Memphis, Tenn., could be devastated.
Earthquake safety
Since buildings cause some of the worst problems during earthquakes, they're a reasonable place to look first for solutions. Seismic-savvy construction has come a long way in the last century, pioneered in quake-prone places like Japan and California to let structures go with the flow instead of standing rigidly still. By including more flexible joints and more room for sway, engineers can make buildings that let an earthquake's energy pass through them, doing much less damage than if its full force was felt.
In poor countries like Haiti, however, such quake-proof structures are rarely feasible projects, and many buildings in Port-au-Prince were already structurally unsound before the 2010 earthquake. Even in wealthy nations, few homes, stores or offices are designed to withstand a major earthquake — leaving knowledge, preparation and quick thinking as most people's best hopes for surviving one.
The ideal place to be during an earthquake is out in the open, so if you're outside when one hits, stay there. FEMA suggests staying put at first when indoors, too, since studies show that most quake injuries occur when people in buildings try to move to a different room or run outside. Stay in bed if you're there, or get on the floor and protect your head; it may also help to hide under a sturdy table or other object that could protect you if the roof collapses. Crouching near interior, load-bearing walls and in interior door frames is often advised, but stay away from glass windows and exterior walls.
The initial tremors are often foreshocks that precede a larger quake to follow, or may be P waves foreshadowing the more destructive S waves and surface waves. Either way, it's wise to get outside as soon as there's a lull in the shaking. Once outside, get far away from buildings and anything else that might fall, and wait until the tremors stop. Also be mindful of aftershocks, which can occur minutes, hours or days after the main quake. For more tips and scenarios, see these FEMA guides about what to do before an earthquake, during an earthquake and after an earthquake.

There will be five performances of "A Salute to the Golden Horseshoe Revue" on Thursday, plus a dinner theater show for annual pass-holders.
Performances for regular parkgoers will be 11:30 a.m., 12:45, 2, 4 and 5:15 p.m., according to the Entertainment Times Guide for Jan. 4-10 handed out at the entrance of Disneyland Park.
The show will run Jan. 10-Feb. 4.
Reservations are required and can be made that the entrance of the Golden Horseshoe. It might be a good idea to do it as soon as you can because, according to the entertainment guide and the Disneyland website, most of the other live acts won't be performing, and that includes the parade, fireworks show and Fastasmic!
The annual pass-holders' dinner show will be at 6:30 p.m. every evening throughout the run and costs $35. Reservations are made over the phone, but guests still have to visit the Golden Horseshoe for their tickets.

More police officers will be on duty at the same time in Franklin if the city changes to longer shifts.
Next year, the Franklin police chief has proposed having patrol officers begin working 12-hour shifts, the same type of schedule already used by other local police departments. City board of works members were in favor of the plan and will vote in July.
Currently three to five officers typically work during each of the three nine-hour shifts in a day. By changing to 12-hour shifts, eight or nine officers will be working at the same time, Franklin Police Chief Tim O'Sullivan said.
Officers asked the chief to consider switching to a 12-hour schedule after hearing positive feedback from other local departments, including the Johnson County Sheriff's Office and Greenwood and New Whiteland police departments, O'Sullivan said.
About 70 percent of Franklin officers voted in favor of the switch, he said. Officers wouldn't work more than three days in a row and would have every other weekend off, O'Sullivan said. One issue officials are considering is finding ways to make sure officers stay energized and alert while on duty.
The only cost increase is $1,300 because an additional sergeant will be needed to supervise a shift, but the city will save more money long term by eliminating at least 234 hours of overtime paid to lieutenants and sergeants each year, O'Sullivan said. Officers would work 5:30 to 5:30, and two officers would come in a half-hour early to create some overlap between shifts, he said.

Grey's Anatomy
Katherine Heigl Reunites With Grey's Anatomy Co-Star Kevin McKidd in North of Hell
It's been three seasons since we've seen Katherine Heigl on Grey's Anatomy, but it looks like it's time for a reunion.
This time, she won't be wearing scrubs or a hospital gown; in fact, she won't step foot inside Grey Sloan Memorial. However, she will still be reuniting with co-star Kevin McKidd as they film a new movie, North of Hell, in New Orleans!
Katherine tweeted the exciting news this morning, writing:
So excited to get to work with @therealkmckidd again! Our scenes together are gonna be veeerrryyyy different than what we did on Grey's!— Katherine Heigl (@KatieHeigl) May 21, 2013
Considering how last year she voiced how much she wanted to return to Grey's and wrap up Izzie's storyline(s), it comes as no surprise how excited she is to work with Kevin again. While it remains to be seen if her character will ever pop up — perhaps in the inevitable series finale — it will be great to see her interact with Kevin in an entirely different setting than on the show.
According to Deadline and IMDB, this "dark comedy" is about Don Champagne (played by Patrick Wilson), a "successful businessman who seems to have it all — including a bi-polar, obsessive-compulsive wife (Heigl) who relentlessly controls everything in his life." Hmm. Kevin isn't even listed on the page yet, so we're unsure of how big his role is, but we have a feeling he's either her lover or enemy. We'll have to wait and see!
Are you excited to see Katherine and Kevin working together again? Sound off below!

When I first arrived in Sydney four months ago, I thought I would be working behind the scenes on various technical issues or something of the sort. As it turned out, I was asked to be the master of ceremonies for the Papal boat during the Pope's voyage through Sydney Harbour. To be honest, I am not quite sure how this all happened, but today I was responsible for, what one Australian paper considered, "one of the most significant events of Australia's history." Umm. . . yes. . . that is a bit overwhelming, and truth be told, it was actually a whole team of people that made today's Papal welcome such a huge success. I could not have imagine a better group of people to have worked with and feel quite blessed and humbled because of the opportunity to work with them.
The obvious question has been how I felt about coordinating the Papal boat, however, I must admit that I feel like I coordinated very little. From start to finish, God has this whole event under control — we overcame so many difficulties along the way and some rather large ones on the day, I believe, because of grace. At the end of the day, I admit that I am thrilled because of the response the Holy Father received from the pilgrims and people of Sydney. Even the Holy Father exclaimed, "Wow" as the boat rounded the coves filled to with thousands of people along the shore line. One of the Cardinals in the Entourage half-jokingly asked is there would be any pilgrims left at the site of arrival with so many pilgrims along the shore. I smiled and commented that I think he will be pleased with what awaits the Holy Father. No one was disappointed.
Today was a day that provided me with an opportunity to meet the Holy Father, but I confess that it was not the highlight (though it was a close second!) The true blessing of the day was coaching the 16 pilgrims that met the Holy Father prior to the Papal arrival. After all, I am a teacher (I have been a high school teacher for a few years) and part of my joy is providing my students with the opportunity to shine brilliantly through the fruits of their own labor. Today, the youth of the world, represented by these 16 people, took center stage with the Holy Father and made all our work worth every effort. My only regret is that the world did not get the chance to know them the way I did, even if it was relatively brief, for they are some of the most impressive, poised, uplifting people I had met in a while. This became especially noticeable in the comments they made to the press after disembarking the vessel. Their stories, like so many of the stories I have heard from young people during this WYD, capture the imagination. "It is the pilgrims who will evangelize the rest of us", it is often said. Today, they not only inspired me, but helped me to remember that all happens according to God's plan rather than our own. For this and the entire opportunity, I feel so very blessed and am so very thankful.
Blessings and G'Day!
