This is sorta a last minute revision to the new site and I'm struggling with the format I like most, so I thought I would pass it onto everyone here to see which layout you prefer. If I had been more organized I would have offered some sort of giveaway for your help, but the last few weeks have been super busy and I didnt think about it until this morning.
Example A is the current format and even though it will be updated to fit the design of the new site – the horizontel layout will stay the same. I would make the boxes a bit bigger, so the dress image is a little larger and easier to see too.
Example B is the new gallery layout I came up with. Instead of having the price,
little description, date listed, etc – it will have a larger image of the
actual gown and only the name. There will be 20 dresses per page and you will need to click on the gown image to see more information(just like the current layout). This look is a bit cleaner and the image is much larger, but
it doesnt offer as much information up front like the current format. I prefer this option, but I've show other people this option and they prefer example A because they like having more information in front of them when searching. I could include the price underneath the name, but is that enough?
I am open to suggestions and would love to hear any feedback on how I can make the listing service better and easier to naviagte. Are there any functions I currently don't offer you would like to see? Do you prefer Example A or B better? Also, there might be a few more of these type posts over the next few weeks as we work out the kinks with the new site, so I apologize if you come looking for inspiratian and you see site admin questions instead. I promise it will be worth it in the end though!

New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham said Friday he's been dealing with a left wrist injury since preseason.
Graham said on gamedays he mimics the tape job on both wrists to conceal the injury from opposing defenders and wouldn't say Friday which wrist is injured. Graham hasn't been on the injury report all season with his wrist injury.
"It has been pretty bad since preseason," Graham said. "But I'm not the only one dealing with issues and dealing with injuries. I played through a lot of stuff and unfortunately, I've played every game this season pretty banged up but so has everyone else in this locker room."
Graham said he wasn't sure if the wrist injury has hampered his performance this season. The Pro Bowl tight end has 64 catches for 710 yards and eight touchdowns this season.
"Catches and blocking has been painful this year but that's everybody," Graham said. "Everybody on this team has had some issues and is having issues. I can't use that as a crutch. I'm out there on Sunday's and I've got to produce."
When asked if he would need to have a procedure to fix his wrist injury in the offseason, Graham said he will know more once he has an MRI as it sounds like Graham will try to play the rest of the season in pain.
"I think it's (Graham's wrist injury) has been ongoing all season," Vitt said. "This time of the season and you're into Week (15) and you're going to have little nicks. ... But I think Jimmy has done a real good job of working through his nicks."
Graham miss one game this season with a ankle injury when the Saints beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Oct. 21.
Meanwhile, other injuries have certainly bitten the Saints as of late as five players will miss Sunday's home game against the Bucs.
Safety Malcolm Jenkins (hamstring), tackle Zach Strief (ankle), running back Chris Ivory (hamstring), tackle Charles Brown (knee) and cornerback Corey White (knee) will miss the Bucs game. Fullback Jed Collins (toe) is deemed questionable for Sunday's game. All five players listed as out missed practice all week. Collins was limited on Friday after missing the team's practices the previous two days.
Second-year safety Isa Abdul-Quddus will likely start in Jenkins' place, while William Robinson should replace Strief in the starting lineup.
As for the Bucs, defensive end Da'Quan Bowers (hamstring) and cornerback LeQuan Lewis (knee) are questionable for the Saints game.

News 2011
- December 15, 2011
- Exciting changes coming to MissionFish
- We've slashed our deduction to 5% or less on all donations: more money for your mission when you need it most.
- We want to help make 2012 your best year yet, so we are pleased to announce that we're permanently slashing our donation deduction. Starting January 1, 2012, we will never keep more than 5% of any donation we handle, and sometimes we'll keep less.
- At the same time, we are transferring our donation processing services from the Points of Light Institute to our newly established 501c3 nonprofit – the PayPal Charitable Giving Fund. As part of this move, we have also updated our Nonprofit User Agreement.
- The great news is that you'll be receiving more of each donation we handle. Otherwise, the day-to-day impact on your eBay for Charity experience will be negligible: the MissionFish website and your nonprofit account features won't change, and you'll get monthly payouts just like you do today. Please notify your accounting team that starting in January, donations made to your organization will come from the "PayPal Charitable Giving Fund".
- If you have questions about these changes, please contact our Community Care team.
- Happy holidays and best wishes for the New Year, from all of us at MissionFish and eBay for Charity!
- Learn more about these changes
- See the detailed deductions in our Expenses Policy.
- See the old Nonprofit User Agreement.

Mayflower quarterback Adam Dycus passed for 510 yards and five touchdowns and running back Daniel Gieber rushed for 206 yards and four touchdowns, leading the Eagles into the Class 3A state playoffs while dashing Rose Bud's postseason hopes with a 69-42 victory on Thursday night in Mayflower. Although the Ramblers (4-5, 2-5) came up short of the playoffs, Rose Bud Coach Steve Rose led his young team to a school-record four wins, gaining valuable experience in the grueling 2-3A conference. "We set the school record in wins and we won multiple conference games for the first time. It's just been a slow process getting it built up," said Rose. "We've got a lot of kids coming back but we are losing some key guys which we are going to have to work to replace in the off-season and that is what our focus is right now. We've got 18 or 19 starters back so we expect to be as good or better next year." Mayflower (5-5, 3-4) led 35-27 at halftime and never got up by more than two touchdowns until late in the fourth quarter when the Ramblers committed a turnover and the Eagles capitalized. Junior quarterback Christian Reynolds completed 23-of-37 passes for 314 yards and four touchdowns with two interceptions, while rushing 19 times for 74 yards and two more scores. Senior receiver Dillon Reesnes led the Ramblers' receiving corps with 15 receptions for 213 yards and four touchdowns, while senior receiver Spencer Starkey came down with four catches for 71 yards. Junior Cole Robertson, who surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing mark this season along with Reynolds, ran for 79 yards on 16 carries. Mayflower travels to Yellville-Summit for the first round of the playoffs.

Once it's created, plastic (almost) never dies. While in 12th grade Miranda Wang and Jeanny Yao went in search of a new bacteria to biodegrade plastic -- specifically by breaking down phthalates, a harmful plasticizer. They found an answer surprisingly close to home.
After a visit to a plastic-filled waste transfer station last year, students Miranda Wang and Jeanny Yao learned that much of the plastic in trash may not degrade for 5,000 years. Synthesized into plastics are phthalates, compounds that make shower curtain liners, food wraps and other products bendable but may also adversely impact human reproductive development and health. As plastics slowly break down, these phthalates would leach into the surrounding environment.
So, the two young scientists tackled the problem and ultimately discovered strains of bacteria that have the potential to naturally degrade phthalates. Their work earned a regional first place in British Columbia for the 2012 Sanofi BioGENEius Challenge Canada, as well as a special award for the most commercial potential at the contest's finals.

According to a press release issued today Mobile Mayor Sam Jones has instructed his staff to begin work on a user friendly web-site through which citizens can easily access the city's financial information. Demands from citizens for such a web-site arose in the wake of a proposed increase of one penny in the city's sales tax. Citizens can now review a comprehensive list of financial information at http://www.cityofmobile.org/financials.php, or by clicking on Financial Information on the front page of the city's website.
Previously, according to the release, most of the financial information was located on the Finance and Accounting departments' webpage. The new addition to the financial information will include a weekly payment register and the city's bond rating from Moody's and Standard/Poor's rating agencies.
Financial Information to be released will include the city's adopted budgets. The city's annual operating budget details projected revenues and expenditures for the operations of city services for the coming fiscal year.
Also to be made available online will be the capital improvement, strategic fund and other budgets. Those budgets are a benchmark that identifies future projects and cost estimates that allow city staff to properly plan for future capital improvements throughout the city.
Other information citizens will be able to easily access include the Comprehensive Audited Annual Financial Report, Monthly Financial Report, Weekly Check Register and the city's bond rating.
The city receives a favorable bond rating from two of the nation's top rating agencies. The bond rating affects the city's interest rate and borrowing ability.

Nonstop laughter is what every patron going to see this movie can anticipate. It still holds the same qualities as any other romantic comedy, but nonetheless, the comical moments will keep your stomach hurting the entire duration.
The movie follows the lives of four characters. Danny and Bernie are best friends, practically brothers, and the same goes for Debbie and Joan, best friends, but more like sisters. All of them are in their 30's and have their careers, friends and lifestyles on track. But when it comes to relationships, it's a little complicated.
You can tell the movie is supposed to primarily focus on Danny and Joan's relationship (played by Michael Ealy, TV's 'Almost Human' and Joy Bryant, TV's 'Parenthood'), but it actually shines ample light on the relationship between Bernie and Joan (Kevin Hart and Regina Hall) as well, whose characters would usually be considered supporting roles (the best friends).
There was a healthy balance of screen time and attention to the two couples because each represented different obstacles a relationship might bring, and it may not mean a boyfriend-girlfriend-type of relationship either.
The movie has the same plot as every other romantic comedy, but it's the successful delivery of lines and timing by Hart and Hall that make it entertaining. A "thank you" goes to the casting director, producers and whoever else was in charge of putting these two comedic movie symbols together. Their dynamic was more visible than Ealy and Bryant's. While Ealy and Bryant were just fine, and clearly weren't supposed to be the hilarious and over-the-top couple like the other, it was Hart and Hall who stole the show.
Many questions were raised. When do you label each other as "boyfriend" and girlfriend?" Is it okay to move in after a short amount of time? Have you "domesticated" each other? Do you buy a pet together? You know, the usual unsure matter. The movie takes a mature view of those issues through Danny and Joan's relationship.
But there is one piece of wisdom which you'll take with you when leaving the theater and start contemplating your own love life: sometimes even the most unconventional relationships are the most gratifying.

I was wanting to know if the blend in the title of this post provides e-criminals an open field to explore.
What I mean is this: say a fraudster goes and buys a pay-as-go SIM card from a certain Mobile Broadband Network, and tops it up with $10; pays for it with cash - or even, pays someone to go the shop and buy the aforementioned SIM card (in case the fraudster is very paranoid).
He then transfers this $10 voice credit to an add-on of, say, 1GB internet and uses this SIM on his dongle, attached to a laptop with a fully encrypted HDD. Now he is ready to start doing bad things against my website: this hacker is aware of Geolocation, so he will only perform his attacks from crowded areas where lots of people are likely to be using their laptops (in case the Law Enforcement will track the geolocation and timestamp and look for security cameras' footage to find someone using a laptop at the time of the attacks).
Because this is not like in films, he will not be chased while he is on the act of hacking the bits out of my website, so being caught on the act isn't really an issue for him.
He finishes his dirty business for the day and keeps doing this for months being always careful and paranoid.
1-In the eventuality he becomes somehow a suspect, what is the likelihood of being convicted should the Law Enforcement get hold of his encrypted laptop? 2-Finally, what are his mistakes that we can pick upon in order to convict him. The other side of the coin is: how can he not be caught by us?

And finally, the last group of ladies in tomorrow's short program, and it's packed. It's got almost all of the main contenders for gold here, with the exception of Yuna Kim, who is in Group 3. Before we turn to the predictions, let's handicap the chances of this final group.
Ladies' short: Skate order and start times
Julia Lipnitskaia RUS (Group 5) - The quiet breakout at Europeans became the very loud and out-in-front breakout in the Team Event last week at the Olympics. I've offered my thoughts on the relative PCS marks that Lipnitskaia was getting in the Team Event. But disagree a bit if I will, those marks will keep coming so long as Lipnitskaia continues to skate clean programs. With free skate scores in the low-140s when she's clean, she's definitely a podium contender and has a shot at the gold, though I wouldn't lump her in the favorites category. It will take a few ladies to make mistakes in order for her to capture gold, but never say never.
Carolina Kostner ITA (Group 5) - The 2012 World champ is coming in a bit under the radar - she's no Lipnitskaia on home ice and she's not part of the Kim-Asada rivalry. But if her magnificent short program in the Team Event is any indication, Kostner is also a podium contender with a potential shot at gold. Her strength over Lipnitskaia is in components, but she lacks in the technical difficulty that the other top ladies are putting forth. It'll be interesting to see Kostner's placement after the short program - a clean skate will be crucial, especially because she is planning the least difficult short of any of the contenders. If she is within striking distance, watch out for her in the free skate.
Ashley Wagner USA (Group 5) - She got through the prove-herself phase in the Team Event. It wasn't her best, but it was infinitely better than what she delivered at Nationals. Wagner will now be setting her sights on a clean short program, which has the potential to score around 70 points and put her in contention for the podium. Being in the final group in the short helps as well, because her international PCSs can teeter somewhat. The bronze is an outside possibility, but she will have to be squeaky clean.
Mae Berenice Meite FRA (Group 5) - Of the six ladies in the final group, Meite is the one with the least amount of hype coming in. She will not make too much of a dent at the top, but a top ten finish is a possibility.
Adelina Sotnikova RUS (Group 5) - Boy, oh boy. Who knows what went on behind the seasons with the Russian team? Sotnikova has been the "future" of Russian ladies' skating since the last Olympics, but she was overshadowed and outjumped by Lipnitskaia this season, both at Russian Nationals and at Europeans. There was so much of that, in fact, that Liptniskaia leapfrogged ahead of her to be the ladies' star for both phases in the Team Event, leaving Sotnikova without the team gold. Where's Sotnikova's confidence right now? Not sure, and she hasn't been on official practices for anyone to see. That said, two clean programs can certainly be podium-worthy for the four-time Russian champ.
Mao Asada JPN (Group 5) - Roll the dice? Asada brings everything and the kitchen sink (but no triple lutz) to Sochi. There's her ubiquitous triple axel, but there's also the fact that she's brought back the triple flip-triple loop, which has appeared sporadically in the past four years. She's a different skater than she was in Vancouver - infinitely better-constructed programs and more consistent on her sals and toes. But she is also not having the triple axel hit rate that she had in Vancouver. If she skates to clean programs, her technical prowess will put her on top of the podium, but these are risky, risky, risky programs, and she will need to trust her training and rely on the stars to align for that gold.

Neptunus Rex, a film created by Purchase film students, won Best Student Film at the 2007 New Hampshire Film Festival this fall.
The film was produced in the spring of 2007. Robert Scott Wildes (director and co-writer), and Aleks Gezentsvey (producer), now seniors in the film program, collaborated with fellow Purchase students to create a short film that blends magic and history in an adventure story.
Neptunus Rex is a motion picture about cloud collecting. Two young scientists, Beliveau and LaFontaine, battle for the love of a beautiful woman as the world awaits the first launch of their sky balloons.
Other Purchase students involved in the production were sophomore film major Nikki Moore, production manager; junior acting major Erica Lutz, casting director; and junior acting majors Andy Bean and Eddie Prunoske, lead actors. Frank Wallinger, a 2007 graduate of the Conservatory of Music, wrote original music and was the audio engineer.
The film was co-written by Logan Antill, co-produced by Daniel Brodie, with music also by Rollerghost Symphony Orchestra.
Neptunus Rex is currently touring the film festival circuit. For more on the film visit www.cloudcollecting.com.
The New Hampshire Film Festival is held in Portsmouth and is one of the largest in New England. This year marked the seventh year of the annual festival, which screened 60 films from more than a dozen states. The films were selected from over 500 submissions.

garlicky party bread with cheese and herbs
My mother's standard party donation is a boule of pumpernickel bread with the center scooped out and filled with a spinach dip that includes water chestnuts because, of course. The sides are cut into fingers that remain attached at the base (as "severed fingers" would be unsettling, yes?) and can be torn off when the urge comes to swipe one through the center. The urge will come often, so I try to position myself in any room that the boule is not. Nevertheless, I hadn't considered that there were other approaches to party bread until I came upon this 1998 recipe for one in Taste of Home, the belly full of dip forwent for a multi-pronged attacked of butter, cheese, scallions and poppy seeds, all toasted until melted and crisp.

Senior Seth Simmons
March 8, 2011
BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Seth Simmons tied a career-high with six strikeouts and Philip Clark laced a RBI double down the left field line in the ninth as East Carolina (8-3) topped Campbell (6-7), 3-2 Tuesday night at Taylor Field.
With the game knotted at two in the bottom of the seventh, Simmons (1-0) entered the contest with the bases loaded and no outs and retired all three batters he faced striking out the side. In all, the senior right-hander fanned six over three innings allowing a hit and one walk.
Clark pushed across the go-ahead run in the ninth with a one-out double that was just fair by six inches scoring Zach Wright from second base, which singled up the middle to start the frame and swiped his first base of the year to move into scoring position.
ECU starter Kevin Brandt allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits with three strikeouts in 5.1 innings. Joseph Hughes tossed two-thirds of an inning in relief giving up a hit before turning the game over to Zach Woods in the seventh, which faced two batters before being lifted for Simmons.
Ryan Koopman (2-2) suffered the loss working 1.1 innings allowing a runs on two hits with a pair of punch outs. Frank Zier, who made his first start of the season, tossed three scoreless innings allowing one hit with one walk and a pair of strikeouts before handing the ball over to Ryan Mattes, who surrendered two runs (both earned) on four hits in three innings. Colin Parker bridged the gap to Koopman limiting the Pirates to one hit in 1.2 innings.
Chase McDonald got the Pirates on the board with a RBI ground out scoring Corey Thompson, who doubled down the left field line to start the fourth inning. John Wooten moved him to third on a ground out to second setting up McDonald's seventh RBI of the season.
Kyle Holmstrom tied the game at one in bottom of the fifth inning with a single through the left side. Ryne Briley was hit by a Brandt pitch then took third on Jimmy Breeneman's double to right center. With no outs and runners on the corners, Brandt intentionally walked Ellis Lowe to load the bases to face Josh Holskey, who sent a dribbler back to Brandt inducing a 1-2-3 double play. Holskey was called out running to first for interference on the play, ending the frame.
Wooten broke a one-all tie in the sixth with a RBI seeing-eye single back up the middle that scored Tim Younger from second base for a 2-1 ECU lead. Younger singled to start the frame and Trent Whitehead followed putting runners on first and second with no outs. After Thompson flew out to right field, Wooten collected his second base hit of the game and drove in his seventh run on the season.
Campbell tied the game at two in the bottom of the sixth on a RBI single from Erick Gaylord. Ala Denman singled to right field to start the inning and moved to third on an error by right fielder Chris Gosik. After a ground out back to the pitch advanced him to third, Denman crossed home on Gaylord's well struck single to left.
On the night, Campbell had the bases loaded three times and was only able to score one run stranding 11 runners on base. The Pirate pitchers fanned 10 batters, issuing three walks and just one earned run.
The Pirates will be back in action Wednesday, March 9 when they play host to High Point inside Clark-LeClair Stadium at 5 p.m.

I am running screen inside Mac OSX Terminal app (bash).
Here is the screenrc (got it from here):
$ cat ~/.screenrc
termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@

defutf8 on
shelltitle "$ |what?" # make screen assign window titles automatically
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string '%{= kw} [ %{= kb}%H%{= kw} ][%= %{= kw}%?%-Lw?%{= kW}%n*%f %t%?%?%{= kw}%?%+Lw%?%?%= ][ %{r}%l%{w} ]%{w}[%{r} %m/%d/%y/ %C %A %{w}]%{w}'
As can be seen I do have the line to show the current process name as the title in screen:
shelltitle "$ |what?" # make screen assign window titles automatically
But inside screen I just see "what?" (the default) instead of the process-name. Which suggests that "$" is not working.
What am I missing? And how does the "$ |something-else" work?

For now Kinect is aimed mostly at the mass market with titles such as Kinect Adventure and Dance Central. However, Microsoft recently announced that the next Star Wars and Forza games due for release later in 2011 will both be fully Kinect-compatible. Hardcore gamers can also look forward to some motion-controlled chainsaw action in a new version of Gears of War coming straight from Epic Games, according to an IGN source.
Kinect has also grabbed the attention of the hackers trying to enable its motion-sensing capabilities on desktop PCs. Just last week a guy named Hector Martin cashed in on a $3,000 bounty by creating the first open source drivers for the peripheral. Another user demonstrated a Minority Report-style user interface where you can manipulate objects with your movement, while most recently a researcher from the University of California figured out how to use it as a 3D video camera. This is all just a week-and-a-half after its release, so imagine the possibilities a few months from now.

Dual core LG Star P990 previewed, Nvidia's Tegra 2 seems awesome
Although LG has still not announced the Star P990, the smartphone has been previewed this week-end – and it looks like it will be one of the best Android devices of next year.
According to Engadget, the LG Star feels like the HTC Droid Incredible when held in hand – it's bigger, though, since it has a 4 inch WVGA display. Interestingly, the new handset's display seems to be way better than a standard LCD one (although it's not AMOLED).
At the moment, the Star is running Android 2.2 Froyo, but I'm pretty sure it will get Gingerbread ahead of launch.
The smartphone (with its Nvidia's Tegra 2 dual-core chip) was benchmarked again against other Android handsets – Nexus One, Moto Droid X, HTC Evo, Samsung Galaxy S – and the results are nothing short of impressive. Check out the two videos below:
LG will probably release the Star in South Korea first. The smartphone might be officially announced at CES 2011 – thus in less than one month from now (January 6 – 9).

misdiagnosed: Pleurisy or....?
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
After 5 1/2 months of severe 'pleurisy' pain attacks....I applied for SSI disability(for other condition(s)). I had appt w/SSI doctor. He implied that my pain WAS NOT due to pleurisy but to a strain/rip/tear of the muscles & tissues on/near my ribs, chest cavity wall (left side). He asked if I had overused or strained sharply my arm or that side of my body. I thought of a fall that I had 2 days before my pain attacks started and that made a lot of sense then. The doctor told me of one patient of his that was riding in the back seat of a car w/her arm stretched out the window when a large city bus drove by closely in the opposite direction. The draft wind was so strong that it pulled her arm back violently and caused her to tear the muscle away from her ribs. Evidently muscle healing takes a very long time, but can be dramatically speeded up if the arm or area affected is not used at all.
I guess that is very hard to do as I can't imagine having the use of one arm in everyday chores and life in general. I'm now trying to conciously not use my left arm as much.
In other words, I really still don't know what is wrong. I do know that I'm in EXTREME pain...having 'attacks' from 1-8 times a day. Pain in still nearly unbearable. I do somewhat of a meditation and deep/calm breathing and that seems to make them go away sooner. I still have lots of questions WHY, WHY - WHY...don't really know what I have????

My second case was misdiagnosed. I have Reactive Airways Disease, and they mistook it for pleurisy the second time around, since RAD isn't that common

Dont know if you have had a CTscan or not but I was misdiagnosed with having pleurisy that turned out to be pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). Im not trying to scare you but I know from my experience that the two conditions have a lot of similarities as far as the pain goes. It cant hurt to get that ruled out!

Looking for a fun and unique activity for your kids this summer? Visit an alpaca farm. Dozens of alpaca ranches dot the Missouri and Kansas countryside.
I visited the Whirlwind Ranch in Lebanon, MO. Owners Liz and Linda Mitchko offer visitors an up-close-and-personal look at life on an alpaca ranch. At any given time, the ranch is home to more than 100 Huacaya alpacas.
Spread across an Ozarks mountain top, the ranch catches an almost constant breeze to cool the summer days. The alpacas romp, play and eat in the green fields.
Learn about the different breeds, their South American roots, their habits and their methods of communication.
After the Mitchkos introduce you to the alpacas, they invite you to visit their store and learn about the virtues of alpaca wool. Find out about the process from shearing the animals to making socks, hats, sweaters and many more products.
Alpaca wool is sought after because of its ability to wick moisture in the summer and create warmth in the winter. It is the most versatile of wools and is in demand for quality products.
Birds love to use alpaca wool to feather their nests. The Mitchkos make balls of wool to hang out for the birds to use.
Just about an hour east of Springfield, the ranch is open to visits by individuals and groups by appointment. For more information, visit www.whirlwindranch.com or call 417.533.5280.

The Benham brothers were slated to air their new show "Flip it Forward" on HGTV, but the network has pulled the plug. The statement given by HGTV about pulling the Benham brother's show from their fall line-up was short and concise. They said little more than "HGTV has decided not to move forward with the Benham Brother's series."
The statement was released via Twitter yesterday, according to NewsMax on May 8. The network did not elaborate as to why the show was canned even before it made it on the air. "Flip it Forward" was due to debut in November. So what happened?
According to MSN News, it seems as if the network nixed the series because the brothers reportedly have "strong: anti-gay, anti-Muslim and anti-abortion views, that don't fit in with the views of the network. The Benham brothers' show "Flip it Forward" was going to film the brothers finding homes that are in dire need of help, fix them up and flip them.
What makes this show different than the other house flipping shows on TV today is that the brothers weren't flipping the houses for personal gain. They would flip a house for a family who could not otherwise afford their dream house.
This "feel-good" house flipping show also had a different spin on it as it was using sibling rivalry for a good cause. The brothers would channel that angst into building the best homes possible from the deteriorating fixer-uppers that they would buy.
The Benham brothers are the sons of Flip Benham. Philip "Flip" Benham is the evangelical Christian minister and the national leader of Operation Save America, which is an anti-abortion group. It is based out of Concord, North Carolina. "Flip" Benham is also a convicted felon.
His two sons are real estate personalities who flipped houses for a living. Their popularity had brought them to this new show that HGTV was in the process of filming, until they scrapped the idea. Critics pointing out that David Benham headed an anti-abortion protest outside the 2012 Democratic National Convention. He also shared his anti-gay views with a local radio show. While Jason was someone who helped organize that campaign, it was David who said that he was campaigning to:
"Stop homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation" and "demonic ideologies taking our universities and our public school systems."
The brothers released a statement about the cancellation of their show:
"Our faith is the fundamental calling in our lives, and the centerpiece of who we are. As Christians we are called to love our fellow man. Anyone who suggests that we hate homosexuals or people of other faiths is either misinformed or lying," the statement read. "Over the last decade, we've sold thousands of homes with the guiding principle of producing value and breathing life into each family that has crossed our path, and we do not, nor will we ever discriminate against people who do not share our views."
"We were saddened to hear HGTV's decision," the Benhams continued. "With all of the grotesque things that can be seen and heard on television today you would think there would be room for two twin brothers who are faithful to our families, committed to biblical principles, and dedicated professionals. If our faith costs us a television show then so be it."

Former Blackstone Guy Will Run Novartis's Drug Unit
The management shuffle at Novartis continued today, as the company put a private equity guy it hired a few months ago in charge of its prescription drug unit.
Joe Jimenez, who left Blackstone in April to run Novartis's consumer healthcare division, will now be in charge of revamping the company's prescription business, the WSJ reports. He'll also oversee job cuts the company's planning in the U.S. While he was at Blackstone, Jimenez spent five years on the board of AstraZeneca.
Thomas Ebeling, who had been in charge of prescription drugs, will take over the consumer healthcare division. As this 2001 BusinessWeek article pointed out, Ebeling was supposed to bring Novartis the marketing genius he'd honed at Pepsi. Now he's changing jobs within the country just a few months after Novartis's other marketing whiz Kurt Graves decamped for Vertex.
The company also said it will step up its efforts to get in on the biotech land grab by launching a unit called Novartis Biologics.
Novartis bucked drug industry trends last year, adding about 1,000 sales reps while other companies were cutting back. But the market bucked back, and Novartis said today that it's cutting more than 1,000 U.S. sales rep jobs.
Some of the reps were hired to detail Galvus, a diabetes drug that the company thinks could be a blockbuster. But the FDA, citing safety concerns, has thus far refused to approve it, and Novartis doesn't expect to re-apply for the go-ahead until 2009.
So the company is cutting 510 staff sales rep positions, and an equal number of third-party reps. Another 240 positions will be cut from "headquarters functions" related to Novartis's U.S. operations. The company said that most of the cuts would come from "not filling vacant positions."
The cuts were disclosed as part of Novartis's third-quarter earnings announcement. Excluding the sale of the company's baby food and medical nutrition businesses to Nestle, the company's profits were off 12% for the quarter compared with the year-earlier period. Sales of Zelnorm plummeted because the company had to withdraw the drug due to safety concerns (though it was re-introduced for a few patients). And Lamisil for nail fungus infections, Lotrel for hypertension and Famvir for viral infections all faced generic competition.

Columbus, Ohio - UCLA placed second at the NCAA Columbus Regional at St. John Arena at The Ohio State University on Saturday evening to qualify for the NCAA Championships, which are being held at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion Apr. 19-21. The Bruins scored 196.95, while first-place LSU scored 197.275.
The Bruins began competition on vault with a team score of 49.225. UCLA received a solid score of 9.8 from Alyssa Pritchett to lead off, followed by a pair of 9.775s from Monique De La Torre and Lichelle Wong and a 9.825 from Kaelie Baer. Olivia Courtney stuck a big Yurchenko layout full vault for a 9.925 to post her sixth consecutive 9.9+ score on the event. Vanessa Zamarripa closed with a 9.9 to help the Bruins grab the lead after the first rotation. Host team Ohio State was close behind in second place with a 49.0, followed by North Carolina State (48.8) and Central Michigan (48.65).
After sitting out the second rotation on a bye, the Bruins scored 49.05 on uneven bars rotation three, led by a 9.875 by Zamarripa and a 9.85 by Sophina DeJesus. LSU took over the lead over UCLA (98.325-98.275) at the halfway mark, however, after scoring 48.975 on bars and 49.35 on beam, with Arizona close behind with 98.200.
With Arizona breathing down their necks, a strong balance beam rotation was imperative, and Baer delivered perhaps her most important routine of the season thus far, scoring 9.875 to lead off. Wong followed with a 9.8, and DeJesus earned a career-high 9.9 to continue the momentum. After a 9.825 from Courtney, all was looking well for a big beam score until Zamarripa's foot slipped off the beam on her dismount, causing her to fall on her landing. With the pressure on, freshman Danusia Francis came through beautifully with a 9.85 to give UCLA a 49.25 on beam and a three-event total of 147.525.
Arizona, meanwhile, fell further behind, scoring 48.7 on uneven bars and 49.15 on beam to finish with a final score of 196.1, while LSU extended its lead by scoring 49.5 on floor. Headed into the final rotation, the Bruins needed to score 48.55 on floor to move ahead of Arizona, and with all six routines scoring 9.85 or higher, UCLA did more than enough to advance to the NCAA Championships, scoring 49.425. DeJesus led off with a 9.85, and Sadiqua Bynum tied her career-best with a 9.85. Zamarripa, Pritchett and Courtney each scored 9.9, and Sydney Sawa closed with a season-high 9.875 to give UCLA a final score of 196.95. LSU finished in first place with 197.275. Arizona was third with 196.1, followed by Ohio State (196.05), North Carolina State (195.275) and Central Michigan (194.925).
Courtney won the all-around, tying for first place with LSU's Jessie Jordan with a score of 39.45, and also tied for first on vault with a 9.925. It was Courtney's second NCAA Regional all-around title; she won the NCAA Athens Regional as a freshman in 2011.
Also qualifying for the NCAA Championships with top two finishes at Regionals were Oklahoma, Stanford, Florida, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, Alabama, Utah, Georgia and Arkansas. Championship tickets are on sale now at the UCLA Central Ticket Office and Ticketmaster. Click here for more information on tickets. The semifinals take place on Friday, Apr. 19 at 12 pm PT and 6 pm PT. The top three teams from each semifinal advance to the Super Six Team finals on Saturday, Apr. 20 at 4 pm. The Championships conclude on Sunday, Apr. 21 at 1 pm with the Individual Event Finals.

Polar bears are scary. This video, an excerpt from BBC's excellent Planet Earth, shows how much havoc just one of these giants can wreak on a colony of walrus:

Nashville fans witnessed the Will Ferrell Minor League debut last night as the comedian donned a thick mustache and golden chains and took the field as Venezuelan pitching miracle Rojo Johnson. Drinking beer on the mound and eventually getting ejected and chased around the field, "Rojo" is an instant classic. Check out the full story, with pictures and video below!
The comedic juggernaut says that the "Rojo" moment was relatively spontaneous. He was visiting the Nashville area to promote a golf tournament to help raise money for charity when the Triple-A team manager, Reid Ryan, contacted him with the idea.
The Will Ferrell Minor League debut definitely screamed of the actor's famous comedic style, but he says idea belonged to Mr. Ryan.
"This opportunity just came out of nowhere," he said Friday afternoon. "We were coming to town to promote our first Texas fundraiser when (Express CEO) Reid Ryan from the Express reached out to us with this great idea for promoting the event, and 'Rojo' was born. The Ryan family and the entire staff with the Express were just awesome. I had a blast out there, and I especially enjoyed the camaraderie of my new teammates. We will be houseboating together this weekend."
In a genius move to flesh out the storyline for unwitting fans, Ryan posted an update on the team's website prior to the game, detailing their new acquisition of the Venezuelan phenom.
"The Round Rock Express have acquired Billy Ray "Rojo" Johnson. The right-handed pitcher will be in uniform for Thursday's 7:05 p.m. CDT game against the Nashville Sounds," said the post. "Johnson, who was born in East Texas but was raised in Venezuela, recently had his prison sentence commuted. He served time for running a smuggling ring that imported rare and illegal species of reptiles into the United States from South America during the mid-to-late 1990s. Thursday night's game marks Johnson's first in American professional baseball after a storied career in the Venezuelan leagues."
Most fans apparently found out that the comedian would be there on the night, and guessed the plot once the ridiculously mustached "Rojo" took the field. But others were appalled at what they thought was the team's new acquisition.
"People called and said they couldn't believe we signed this guy because we're a family business," said Ryan.
Awesome! What did you think of the Will Ferrell Minor League debut? Was "Rojo" good enough for a move up to the big league? Let me know in the comment section!

I'm trying to install mysql in ubuntu to run ruby on rails. I was going through the tutorial at Lynda. I have successfully installed ruby, gem & rails.
ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [x86_64-linux]
gem -v
rails -v
Rails 2.3.14
Now, I am trying to install mysql. To do this, the tutorial asks to update the .profile file by adding a line.
# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.
# the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask
# for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package.
#umask 022
# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
I added the following line to it:
export PATH="usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"
I exited the terminal & opened a new instance. & when I do:
echo $PATH
It gives me:
mysql isn't coming up in the path.
To install mysql, I did:
sudo apt-get install mysql-client-core-5.5
& I can see that mysql is installed:
which mysql
But I cannot see mysql version:
mysql -v
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
What do I need to do install mysql. Will solving this error allow me to access mysql from the terminal or do I need to do anything else as well?

"We Always Swing"® Jazz Series presents
Photo Credit courtesy of artist
It's been more than 10 years since virtuoso pianist Marcus Roberts made a Jazz Series appearance. We're only too happy to end that drought. Roberts embodies piano history – having delivered separate recordings that delve into worlds of New Orleans, boogie-woogie, stride, bebop and beyond. He first gained notoriety in the mid-1980s as a member of Wynton Marsalis' Quartet when the group crisscrossed the United States at a prodigious rate. Among the ensemble's stops: the original site of the Blue Note on Business Loop 70 E.
While Roberts continues to maintain his now 25-year friendship and association with Marsalis, he really has come to be recognized for leading his trio, a group that he founded in 1995. It's the format that Roberts feels most comfortable with and one that offers him the vehicle where he can express his musical ideas to the max. Stylistically, Roberts' trio is one that incorporates a strong rhythmic approach but one that is also melodic and filled with dynamic contrast.
While Roberts has occasionally rotated bassists during the course of the trio's lifetime, drummer Jason Marsalis, having started with the pianist when he was still a teenager, has been along for the entire ride. Not surprisingly the two communicate almost instinctually at this point. The trio's third component is bassist Rodney Jordan; while he's not a lifer like Marsalis, he has been with the pianist for more than seven years to date.
Although the piano is typically the focus of most jazz trios, Roberts, employing a system of musical cues, tends to run his operation more like a cooperative – an approach that allows each player to share equally in shaping the direction of the music through changes in tempo, mood, texture and even form. As a result, each trio member has abundant opportunity to showcase their respective individual talents housed, as often as not, in a rhythmic context. This leads to more than a few concert goers to feel as if there are a lot more than three people on the stage.
Jason Marsalis last appeared as a member of his father's trio in February 2011; this is bassist Rodney Jordan's first Jazz Series appearance.

"I never plan to stop studying and sharing in the creation of great music. When I play, I play for the people. Jazz is not elitist. It was created and grew from the soil of our fertile and, at times, difficult American experience, and it will resonate as long as our democratic structure exists."
- Marcus Roberts
"He developed a coherent solo even while shifting gears at unexpected moments: a splay-fingered run morphed into a graceful chord pattern, which in turn became a hammering trill."

just the answer - Biscuits Leclerc CEO Denis Leclerc
By Katie Smith | 31 January 2012
Groupe Biscuits Leclerc is considering setting up in the UK
Last month, Canadian biscuit firm Groupe Biscuits Leclerc expanded its presence in the US, with the acquisition of snack bar brand Go Pure. In the latest just the answer interview, Katie Smith discusses the acquisition and the biscuit company's plans for the future with CEO Denis Leclerc, including setting up in the UK.
just-food: Why did you choose the Go Pure brand?
Leclerc: We're pretty strong in US and in Canada but we found that there are competitors offering some really different products on the market that we were not capable of producing with the equipment we had. We made our mind up to look at something more natural and Go Pure was a good bet for us. It was a small operation and, when you are doubling or tripling your sales every year, you put a lot of pressure on your cash flow, you put a lot of pressure on your innovation and it was really tough for them.
just-food: Is this a new category for Leclerc?
Leclerc: We feel that the bars that we're producing are pretty good for your health but I think that we are doing something different with the new Go Pure brand.
just-food: What brands do you produce your products under?
Leclerc: We have three different divisions, we have our own brand, Leclerc, that we're distributing all over Canada and in the US. We are producing private-label brands for nearly each food retail chain in Canada and the US. In Canada, it's retailers including Loblaw, Metro Inc and Sobeys. In the US, you can find our products in every chain on the east coast and in Safeway, Wal-Mart and Target. We have another division where we are doing co-packing, which is under 5% of our entire business. Private-label is 50% and 45% is our Leclerc brand. We are growing three different divisions. We're really aggressive on each market and that's what's making the difference for us.
just-food: Can you give me more detail on your branded business?
Leclerc: We are on the cookie side, the indulgent side, a pretty high-end product with a lot of chocolate. Bar-wise, we're covering the indulgent part of it and good-for-you. We have a brand that we are pushing on for the last six years where we have antioxidants and some products that can help your digestive system. Go Pure is natural, it's a different market and we are expecting to push that with our own brand and have those products available for a lot of people in Canada and the US.
just-food: Are consumers demanding healthier products?
Leclerc: Yes. In the US you can see this with Obama trying to bring good food to schools. I really really feel that we are going to have to straighten up what we are feeding our kids and the offer that we have for those kids at school and at home. I'm pretty sure that that can open new markets for us. We feel we are going to be ready to offer what our customers want and would like to eat and we are ready to be one of the first on the market to offer some interesting products. That's the reason why Go Pure for us was a strategic acquisition.
just-food: Do you expect the US market to grow in the next five years?
Leclerc: Yes, last year was our best year for growth ever. We are expecting even better growth year next year and we have a lot of expectation. The market is growing and when the economy is not doing so well, people will make lunch for kids and they will eat more at home. It is a pretty interesting time.
just-food: What about Canada? Recent data shows that the Canadian economy is growing faster than other Western countries.
Leclerc: I am really surprised and that's a good thing. I can see that the US economy is improving too and there is no doubt about that to a certain extent. We are still expecting major growth on the Canadian market. We are improving our distribution network and sales force every year, trying to reach some different markets.
just-food: Are you looking to make more acquisitions in the US?
Leclerc: The Canadian dollar is helping us a lot to look at acquisitions. The US market is a good market for us and we are are even looking to do some acquisitions in the UK if we can. Twenty-five per cent of our sales are in the USA, and 5% are in the UK and Australia. We are evaluating any strategic acquisition. If it fits properly with our strategy, we're ready to buy.
just-food: Can you go into any more detail about where you are looking in the UK?
Leclerc: Right now, out of our Canadian operations, we are producing a lot of stuff for the UK and Australian markets but one of the challenges that we have on the international market and even in the US is the currency. All the currencies are crazy right now and it's a challenge for us. Selling the level that we are selling in the UK and not knowing what the exchange rate is going to be is starting to be a challenge and if we can find something in the UK, we will be more than pleased to set ourselves up there. It's a market we have been working on for more than 18 years. We have a lot of good customers in the UK and we're looking to give them a better service and and better varieties of of product that can be made in UK – there is no reason why we can't make some of our product directly in the UK. The products sold in the UK are only private-label products. We manufacture fruit bars and crunch bars
just-food: How soon are you looking to enter the UK?
Leclerc: Right now, we are already in discussions and because of that, I can't say a word but we're expecting to do something in the UK market. It will be to acquire a brand, distribution and production capacity. I have some people working for me working on that on a regular basis. Every time you do an acquisition like that, it's a challenge and I can't say if it will work or not but we're working on that right now.
just-food: How have you been affected by the recent volatility in commodity prices?
Leclerc: That's a challenge that we've been dealing with for years. There are new things happening right now on the commodity side. The fact that the New York stock exchange is not doing well means there are a lot of investors who are speculating on other stuff – that's creating a new challenge. Commodity prices, exchange rates, there are a lot of issues but if you want to grow and to improve, you have to deal with that. We are making a lot of the effort to manage that properly. We are looking long-term, more long-term than ever and we're not doing so bad. It's a risk, it's a challenge no doubt about that but there is a way to manage that.
just-food: Have you had to put your prices up as a result?
Leclerc: Of course. It's inflation time and of course there is some of our product on which we have to put some price increases on, no doubt about that. It's a challenging time.
just-food: Have you been successful in getting retailers to accept the price increases?
Leclerc: What we can see in Canada, in the US and even in the UK is that the news is so bad, people have a feeling that it is coming. They can see that on a regular basis – when they are doing their grocery shopping, when they put fuel in their cars, when they pay their electricity bill. We don't have any choice but we have to be aggressive offering a really, really good product where the quality of your product and the price has to match. If your customers feel that it's good, they are going to buy that. It means that you have to work hard to be more efficient and work on any saving that you can to try to raise your prices as little as possible to offer a pretty good quality of product at a pretty decent price.

In the deal, the Stampeders acquired the Blue Bombers' third round pick, 24th overall in the Canadian Football League Draft and the Blue Bombers receive the Stampeders' third round pick 26th overall in the Canadian Football League Draft.
Randle played the last two seasons with the Stampeders and was set to become an unrestricted free agent before being traded to Calgary's new Western Division rival.
In 2013, Randle who is a product of Utah State, had 34 tackles, a sack, and four interceptions (with one for a touchdown). Randle also had 35 tackles and an interception in 2012.
The Blue Bombers are trying to rebound from a devastating season where they were 3-15 last year. One area where they clearly needed to improve was their defense where they gave up a league worst 585 points.
