1. 20 Questions
20 Questions is a simple family road trip game. One person starts by thinking of something and announcing whether this subject is a person, place, or thing. The other players, in turn, ask direct questions to determine what the subject is.
Each question, of course, must be answerable by either a "Yes" or a "No." The guessers may ask 20 questions in all. If a guesser identifies the subject, then he or she receives one point and picks the next secret answer. If no one has guessed the subject, after 20 questions, then the originator scores one point.
At the end of the journey, the person with the most points wins the 20 Questions road trip game.
2. ABC Adventure
The ABC Adventure is a classic family road trip game. Each participant observes traffic signs, billboards, and other lettered items outside the family car and attempts to find every letter of the alphabet – in alphabetical order. Participants claim each letter, as they find them.
For example, someone might spot the letter "A" on a street sign for Lincoln Avenue and claim it aloud. That ABC Adventure player would then look for the letter "B," while others continue looking for "A."
The first player to find all 26 letters of the alphabet, in order from "A" to "Z," wins the ABC Adventure road trip game.
3. License Plate Lookout
The License Plate Lookout offers family members of all ages a fun means of learning the names of the 50 United States, while playing a family road trip game.
For the greatest educational value and simplest scorekeeping, each License Plate Lookout game player should begin with a blank map of the United States. Free printable U.S. outline maps are available at EduPlace.com, FreePrintableColoringPages.com, NationalAtlas.gov, United-States-Map.com and other websites. Each player also needs a pen, pencil, marker or crayon.
License Plate Lookout players observe other cars on the family road trip, trying to spot one license plate from each state. When a new state plate is spotted, the first participant to claim it aloud can color in that state on his or her U.S. map.
The first player to spot license plates for all 50 U.S. states wins the License Plate Lookout game. At the end of the family road trip, if license plates from all 50 states have not been seen, the player with the most states spotted wins the game.
4. Pictionary-on-the-Go
Pictionary-on-the-Go (also known as Win, Lose or Draw) is a family favorite and a super family road trip game. Of course, everyone but the driver is allowed to participate.
A simple chalkboard and chalk or a wipe-off board and dry erase markers are ideal for playing Pictionary-on-the-Go on a family road trip.
Players take turns drawing mystery items, while others try to guess. Pictionary-on-the-Go may be played with pre-printed subject cards, or players can simply make up their own ideas on the spot. Some families choose to play themed Pictionary-on-the-Go, requiring mystery words to pertain to the trip or another pre-selected subject area.
Pictionary-on-the-Go may be played in teams, with partners, or just as a group.
The first player to guess the mystery item wins a point. At the end of the trip, the player with the most points wins Pictionary-on-the-Go.
5. Yellow Car Yell-Out
The Yellow Car Yell-Out game may be the simplest family road trip game of all. Players look for yellow cars and trucks on the road. (School buses do not count.)
Upon spotting a yellow car or truck, a player will call out to claim it. Players receive one point for each yellow car or truck claimed. At the end of the journey, the player with the most points wins the Yellow Car Yell-Out game.
It's a little bit like the Punch-Bug game, in which players look for Volkswagen Beetles, but without all the slapping.
Do you need prizes for fun family road trip games?
Some families do choose to award prizes for the winners of their fun family road trip games. Simple items, such as a piece of candy or gum, are usually enough for fun. Intangible rewards may be ideal prizes for fun family road trip games as well. Game winners might be the first in the pool or lake at the vacation spot, or they might be allowed to choose the top or bottom bunk bed at the family road trip destination.
Perhaps prizes are not needed at all, as the simple enjoyment of the games may be sufficient.
During a family adventure road trip, a bit of creativity can go a long way towards ensuring a pleasant journey for everyone. And the return journey is a guaranteed double-or-nothing challenge for the favorite road trip games.

Republican and Democratic negotiators in the Senate were hoping to reach a deal to avoid going over the cliff on Sunday. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) ANDREW TAYLOR and ALAN FRAM| Associated Press Dec. 30, 2012; 7:39 p.m. Comments WASHINGTON (AP) — A Capitol Hill deal to avert the "fiscal cliff" was proving elusive Sunday as a deadline to avert tax hikes on virtually every American worker and block sweeping spending cuts set to strike the Pentagon and other federal agencies grew perilously near. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell remained at odds on such key issues as the income threshold for higher tax rates and how to deal with inheritance taxes, among other issues. McConnell complained that Reid had yet to respond to a GOP offer made Saturday evening and reached out to Vice President Joe Biden, a longtime friend, in hopes of breaking the impasse. Biden assumed the lead role for Democrats, and a McConnell spokesman said the Kentucky Republican and the vice president were expected to negotiate by telephone into the night. Rank-and-file lawmakers left the Capitol Sunday night with hopes that their leaders would give them something to vote on when they returned Monday morning. One sign of progress came as Republicans withdrew a long-discussed proposal to slow future cost-of-living increases for Social Security recipients as part of a compromise to avoid the cliff. Democrats said earlier Sunday that proposal had put a damper on the talks, and Republican senators emerging from a closed-door GOP meeting said it is no longer part of the equation. "I was really gratified to hear that Republicans have taken their demand for Social Security benefit cuts off the table. The truth is they should never have been on the table to begin with," Reid said late Sunday afternoon. "There is still significant distance between the two sides, but negotiations continue." At stake are sweeping tax hikes and across-the-board spending cuts set to take effect at the turn of the year. Taken together, they've been dubbed the fiscal cliff, and economists warn the one-two punch — which leaders in both parties have said they want to avoid — could send the still-fragile economy back into recession. Tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003 expire at midnight Monday, and $109 billion in across-the-board cuts in federal spending this year would also begin this week. Workers could see more taxes withheld from their paychecks and federal agencies are likely to soon receive warning of possible furloughs if lawmakers fail to reach a deal to avert the cliff. The new Congress will be sworn in on Thursday and would inherit the problem if the current crop of lame-duck lawmakers can't find an answer before then. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said the two sides remained at odds over the income threshold for higher tax rates and tax levels on large estates. Republicans said that Democratic demands for new money to prevent a cut in Medicare payments to doctors and renew jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed should be financed with cuts elsewhere in the budget. Republicans also balked at a Democratic proposal to use new tax revenues to shut off the across-the-board spending cuts, known as a sequester in Washington-speak. President Barack Obama, in a televised interview, blamed Republicans for putting the nation's shaky economy at risk. "We have been talking to the Republicans ever since the election was over," Obama said in the interview that was taped Saturday and aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "They have had trouble saying yes to a number of repeated offers." "The mood is discouraged," said Sen. Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent who caucuses with Democrats. "The parties are much further apart than I hoped they'd be by now." The pessimistic turn came as the House and Senate returned to the Capitol for a rare Sunday session. Reid and McConnell had hoped to have a blueprint to present to their rank and file by mid-afternoon. McConnell and Reid were hoping for a deal that would prevent higher taxes for most Americans while letting rates rise at higher income levels, although the precise point at which that would occur was a sticking point. Obama had wanted to raise the top tax rate on individuals making more than $200,000 a year and families making more than $250,000 from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. In talks with Republican House Speaker John Boehner, he offered to raise that threshold to $400,000. The estate tax issue was particularly tricky since several Democrats, including veterans like Max Baucus of Montana, disagree with Obama's proposal to increase the top estate tax rate from 35 percent to 45 percent. Republicans said Democrats pressed to turn off more than $200 billion in the across-the-board spending cuts over the coming two years. This so-called sequester is the punishment for last year's deficit "supercommittee" failure to strike a deal. Hopes for blocking across-the-board spending cuts were fading and Obama's proposal to renew the 2-percentage-point payroll tax cut wasn't even part of the discussion. Obama pressed lawmakers to start where both sides say they agree — sparing middle-class families from looming tax hikes. "If we can get that done, that takes a big bite out of the fiscal cliff. It avoids the worst outcomes. And we're then going to have some tough negotiations in terms of how we continue to reduce the deficit, grow the economy, create jobs," Obama said in the NBC interview. Gone is the talk of a grand deal that would tackle broad spending and revenue demands and set the nation on a course to lower deficits. Obama and Boehner were once a couple hundred billion dollars apart on a deal that would have reduced the deficit by more than $2 trillion over 10 years. Republicans have complained that Obama has demanded too much in tax revenue and hasn't proposed sufficient cuts or savings in the nation's massive health care programs. Obama upped the pressure on Republicans to negotiate a fiscal deal, arguing that GOP leaders have rejected his past attempts to strike a bigger and more comprehensive bargain. "The offers that I've made to them have been so fair that a lot of Democrats get mad at me," Obama said. Boehner disagreed, saying Sunday that the president had been unwilling to agree to anything "that would require him to stand up to his own party." The trimmed ambitions of today are a far cry from the upbeat bipartisan rhetoric of just six weeks ago, when the leadership of Congress went to the White House to set the stage for negotiations to come. But the deal under discussion Sunday appeared unlikely to settle other outstanding issues, including the sequester, which would total more than $1 trillion in cuts over 10 years, divided equally between the Pentagon and other government agencies. And off the table completely is an extension of the nation's borrowing limit, which the government is on track to reach any day but which the Treasury can put off through accounting measures for about two months. That means Obama and the Congress are already on a new collision path. Republicans say they intend to use the debt ceiling as leverage to extract more spending cuts from the president. Obama has been adamant that unlike 2011, when the country came close to defaulting on its debts, he will not yield to those Republican demands. Meanwhile, a senior defense official said if the sequester were triggered, the Pentagon would soon begin notifying its 800,000 civilian employees that they should expect some furloughs — mandatory unpaid leave, not layoffs. It would then take some time for the furloughs to begin being implemented, said the official, who requested anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the internal preparations. Lawmakers have until the new Congress convenes to pass any compromise, and even the calendar matters. Democrats said they had been told House Republicans might reject a deal until after Jan. 1, to avoid a vote to raise taxes before they had technically gone up, and then vote to cut taxes after they had risen. ——— Associated Press writers David Espo, Robert Burns, Julie Pace, Jim Kuhnhenn and Michele Salcedo contributed to this report.

The mug shots of 20 people wanted by Central District police have gone live on the New Zealand Police website.
The individuals are sought by police, either for arrest or to be identified in relation to a crime, in the Central Police District - which stretches from the north Taranaki Bight, across the Ruapehu District, down to Otaki in the south and the Tararua ranges in the east.
The full list can be seen here.
"This site is a practical tool that gives police the ability to inform a wide range of audiences," said Central District intelligence manager, Inspector Peter Thurston.
"It's also another channel involving the public that helps us fight crime in our communities. The support we get from the public and local media is invaluable when locating offenders."
The Wanted Persons site was launched in June last year, with Wellington and Eastern the first districts to upload wanted individuals.
Not all people who are wanted by police are posted on the site, with only those sought urgently or who cannot reasonably located by other means uploaded on the page.
Anyone with any information about the people on the page should contact their local police station, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

"Bella" is the emaciated Pit Bull dog, rescued in February 2012, off of the chain in McIntosh, AL (Washington County) where she existed for years - without food, water or adequate shelter.
Volunteers with Mobile, AL rescue organizations, SAFE HAEN ANIMAL CARE KENNELS, The S.H.A.C.K. and SouthBARK, came to Bella's aid after local news was alerted to her condition. She was brought to Ark Animal Clinic where she was treated for sarcoptic mange and a host of other internal parasites. Further test indicated an advanced infestation of heartworms, a potentially fatal disease. Due to her fragile condition, treatment was a precarious and long-term proposition, but rescuers were optimistic with veterinarian's guidance.
"Bella's" owner, James Samuel Newbill, McIntosh, AL, was arrested by Washington County Sheriff's Department on February 14, 2012. "Bella" and the case received state, national and international attention via Facebook and press reports.
" Bella's" foster mom, Kaci Stokley, welcomed her into her heart and home, and later adopted "Bella" as her own, forever companion.
"I picked up Bella in March of 2012. We discovered she did not like other dogs, but I completely understood. I could only imagine how she was forced to defend herself on the end of that chain. Seeing her discover what a bed was, regular meals, along with hugs and kisses, was unforgettable. She was still weak, but gaining weight and muscle in her back legs. For the first time in her life, she knew what it was like to be loved and cared for."
Stokley says that "Bella" learned that other dogs were not a threat anymore, thanks to sessions with a local dog trainer, designed with caution as she was kept under low activity to minimize the chances of the formation of clots and other health issues.
"I watched her flourish from 34 pounds into a 55, sometimes 60 pound ball of thick fur, full of excitement and joy."
""Bella" lost her fight for life on December 14, 2012 despite everything being done to save her. The attending veterinarian commented that he had only seen, in his 30+ years, a few dogs go downhill so quickly, so far into her treatment. It's estimated that she was much older than originally thought. She had so few teeth, from a lifetime of starvation, and chewing on a chain.
On December 17, this reporter spoke with Washington County Sheriff Richard Stringer. Sheriff Stringer advised, after looking up the records, that James Samuel Newbill, "Bella's former owner, had served the handed-down sentence of 43 days in jail, and was fined $100.
Further investigation by Sheriff Springer revealed that Newbill had failed to pay the fine. Sheriff Springer stated that a warrant for Newbill's arrest would be issued and "he would be back in jail."
According to Washington County Sheriff's Department, as of today, after several attempts to serve the warrant and arrest Newbill, deputies have been unable to locate Newbill.
Stokley has created a Facebook page, Bella's Legacy, not only to mourn and memoralize "Bella's" life, but to bring awareness to the need for Alabama animal welfare laws to be strengthened, and above all, to be enforced.
Resources for animal advocates and average citizens who care about the lack of enforcement, minimal sentences handed down and the rampant cruelty inflicted upon dogs like "Bella" are highlighted on the page.
Stokley: "Bella" is the epitome of countless dogs who, at this very minute, languish in agony and despair at the end of a chain. They are forgotten, most often hidden from sight. It's unacceptable that "starvation and lack of veterinary care" is not considered a felony in Alabama.
Alabama residents, voters and animal advocates are encouraged to join Alabama Voters for Responsible Animal Legislation (AVRAL), the only Alabama grass roots Political Action Committee that focuses exclusively in strengthening and enacting companion animal welfare laws.

"Eve Online" developer CCP Games announced a partnership with White Wolf Games in 2006 to create a "World of Darkness" MMORPG. After nearly eight years of work, CCP Games announced Monday that the PC game was being canceled.
"The decision to end the World of Darkness MMO project is one of the hardest I've ever had to make," CCP CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson wrote on the company's website. "I have always loved and valued the idea of a sandbox experience set in that universe, and over the years I've watched the team passionately strive to make that possible."
The decision to cancel the project includes consequences beyond just another MMO title not seeing the light of day. 56 employees from the CCP Games studio in Atlanta, GA have lost their jobs while the remaining employees have been reassigned to work on "Eve Online".
"I would like to give special thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make the World of Darkness MMO a reality, especially the team members affected by this decision," Pétursson continued. "Their considerable contribution to CCP will not be forgotten, and we wish them well."
So why did such a long in development MMO suddenly get canceled? According to Pétursson, it is because the game came was coming up short.
"I am truly sorry that we could not deliver the experience that we aspired to make. We dreamed of a game that would transport you completely into the sweeping fantasy of World of Darkness, but had to admit that our efforts were falling regretfully short, he wrote. "One day I hope we will make it up to you."
"World of Darkness" was to be based on the "Vampire: The Masquerade" tabletop RPG series with a focus on "player politics and social interaction." Full production of the game started in 2009 but signs of trouble cropped up in 2011 when CCP Games announced that it was pulling some of its staff from "World of Darkness" to focus on "Eve Online". The project was last discussed during Eve Fanfest 2013 before it was officially canceled today.

Internet2 Member Spotlight: University of Hawaii
The University of Hawaii (UH) is now connected to Abilene at the Ames NGIX, through a pioneering agreement that permits UH to share high-speed Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN) capacity from Hawaii to the mainland. The astronomical observatories atop Mauna Kea, arguably the premiere nighttime viewing site on the planet, should be connected at high speed this fall through a cooperative relationship with Gemini and with NSF support. UH used its new link to host the March GOIN99 Workshop which brought together scientists from the U.S., Japan and other countries to study and share the application of high performance networks for global change research.
In August, Hawaii is the site of NLANR's first in-depth, regional tutorial addressing topics of interest to network engineers and scientists using high performance networks.

So your wife finally gave in and said you could have the guys over for a poker game. You have visions of taking every last penny from your brother-in-law who knows everything about everything. Yea, that is right you are a combination of Phil Ivey and Phil Hellmuth when it comes to playing poker in your garage. Bring on the beer, the cards, the chips and it will be game on this Saturday night.
The first thing you need to do is decide what kind of game you are going to have and when. There are several kinds of poker and several kinds of formats for each. For this example we will be talking about Texas Hold em, although many of the games can use the same format and structure.
As a host you will have to do more than just play. Depending on the group, you may be the tournament director, waiter, dealer, banker, and the rules person. The more you decide in advance the better the experience will be for you. Remember this is supposed to be fun, if you are in it to make a profit by hosting, you are already breaking the law in most states.
The second thing you will need to decide is who is invited. Being this game is probably in your home or garage, you will want to know in advance who the players are. Let a friend of a friend bring a friend, and now you have no idea who is in your house. Keep it small, if it is intended to be a social gathering, keep it as such. One or two tables and you will be a quite busy host. Try to start on time, have a cut off time for late arrivals and include this in the invites.
Decide on your format next. This could be a cash game, a limit cash game, a freeze-out tournament, a re-buy tournament, they all attract different players. Announce the format with your invitations. This will enable your players to bring the right amount of money and the right denominations. You might be surprised when someone shows up and tries to buy in with a check if you don't.
House rules should be next on your list. Decide any house rules in advance and announce them to all players before you start playing. After someone has money on the table is not a good time to tell them something that could affect the way they play. This is trouble waiting to happen. These should include, drinking, borrowing, cursing, arguing, and anything else that might cause you grief. Don't forget your family lives here.
Before you get started, remind the players of the format, cost, payouts, finishing time, and anything else that could affect the game. Take donations for the refreshments if you want, but don't make them required. Charging for food, taking a rake, charging a fee, or making a profit makes your game illegal in most states.
Get the cards in the air on time. This will let the players know if there is a next time, be on time. Be prepared for a long night if you are first out in a freeze-out format. Having a second or third table for the losers to play a cash game may be a good ideal. If you do this have a totally different set of chips, it will help to eliminate confusion, and keep that money separate from the tournament money.
Keep your game small in the beginning. It will help you enjoy the time with your friends. I have seen lots of good players who started games at their house become a no playing host, when the game grew too fast. Be careful not to grow your game to fast, it will become like a second job, and the fun will run out.
I hope this helps you get started with your home game, it can be both socially and financially rewarding if you are a good player. Good luck and get those cards in the air.

Falling action See plot.
Falling meter See meter.
Farce A form of humor based on exaggerated, improbable incongruities. Farce involves rapid shifts in action and emotion, as well as slapstick comedy and extravagant dialogue. Malvolio, in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, is a farcical character.
Feminine rhyme See rhyme.
Feminist criticism An approach to literature that seeks to correct or supplement what may be regarded as a predominantly male-dominated critical perspective with a feminist consciousness. Feminist criticism places literature in a social context and uses a broad range of disciplines, including history, sociology, psychology, and linguistics, to provide a perspective sensitive to feminist issues. Feminist theories also attempt to understand representation from a woman's point of view and to explain women's writing strategies as specific to their social conditions. See also gay and lesbian criticism, gender criticism, sociological criticism. For model essays and exercises on feminist criticism, go to the VirtuaLit Interactive Poetry Tutorial and the VirtuaLit Interactive Fiction Tutorial.
Figures of speech Ways of using language that deviate from the literal, denotative meanings of words in order to suggest additional meanings or effects. Figures of speech say one thing in terms of something else, such as when an eager funeral director is described as a vulture. See also metaphor, simile.
First-person narrator See narrator.
Fixed form A poem that may be categorized by the pattern of its lines, meter, rhythm, or stanzas. A sonnet is a fixed form of poetry because by definition it must have fourteen lines. Other fixed forms include limerick, sestina, and villanelle. However, poems written in a fixed form may not always fit into categories precisely, because writers sometimes vary traditional forms to create innovative effects. See also open form.
Flashback A narrated scene that marks a break in the narrative in order to inform the reader or audience member about events that took place before the opening scene of a work. See also exposition.
Flat character See character.
Found poem An unintentional poem discovered in a nonpoetic context, such as a conversation, news story, or advertisement. Found poems serve as reminders that everyday language often contains what can be considered poetry, or that poetry is definable as any text read as a poem.
Foil A character in a work whose behavior and values contrast with those of another character in order to highlight the distinctive temperament of that character (usually the protagonist). In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Laertes acts as a foil to Hamlet, because his willingness to act underscores Hamlet's inability to do so.
Foot The metrical unit by which a line of poetry is measured. A foot usually consists of one stressed and one or two unstressed syllables. An iambic foot, which consists of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable ("away"), is the most common metrical foot in English poetry. A trochaic foot consists of one stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable ("lovely"). An anapestic foot is two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed one ("understand"). A dactylic foot is one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed ones ("desperate"). A spondee is a foot consisting of two stressed syllables ("dead set"), but is not a sustained metrical foot and is used mainly for variety or emphasis. See also iambic pentameter, line, meter.
Foreshadowing The introduction early in a story of verbal and dramatic hints that suggest what is to come later.
Form The overall structure or shape of a work, which frequently follows an established design. Forms may refer to a literary type (narrative form, short story form) or to patterns of meter, lines, and rhymes (stanza form, verse form). See also fixed form, open form.
Formal diction See diction.
Formalist criticism An approach to literature that focuses on the formal elements of a work, such as its language, structure, and tone. Formalist critics offer intense examinations of the relationship between form and meaning in a work, emphasizing the subtle complexity in how a work is arranged. Formalists pay special attention to diction, irony, paradox, metaphor, and symbol, as well as larger elements such as plot, characterization, and narrative technique. Formalist critics read literature as an independent work of art rather than as a reflection of the author's state of mind or as a representation of a moment in history. Therefore, anything outside of the work, including historical influences and authorial intent, is generally not examined by formalist critics. See also new criticism. For exercises on formalist criticism, go to the VirtuaLit Interactive Poetry Tutorial and the VirtuaLit Interactive Fiction Tutorial.
Formula literature Often characterized as "escape literature," formula literature follows a pattern of conventional reader expectations. Romance novels, westerns, science fiction, and detective stories are all examples of formula literature; while the details of individual stories vary, the basic ingredients of each kind of story are the same. Formula literature offers happy endings (the hero "gets the girl," the detective cracks the case), entertains wide audiences, and sells tremendously well.
Free verse Also called open form poetry, free verse refers to poems characterized by their nonconformity to established patterns of meter, rhyme, and stanza. Free verse uses elements such as speech patterns, grammar, emphasis, and breath pauses to decide line breaks, and usually does not rhyme. See open form.

I have a worksheet (not very large currently a little over 6000 rows K columns) that is for some reason taking an extremely long time to recalculate and frequently reacalculate and save. Sometimes it takes 10-15 minutes, and others it can take up to half a day, there isn't much consistency to the calc time. The formulae are not very complex, and its fairly clean from what I can tell. The references for most of the formulas are data on a "source" sheet on within the same worksheet which is pulled from SQL and exported into excel using Cognos Impromptu. I have another sheet that doesn't have this slow calc issue, but it's data is exported directly from the system containing the data. The formulas are the same, and the data is basically the same in structure, but coming from different places. That's the only difference, but one is slow.
It isn't pulling data from SQL in real time, I am retrieving data from SQL (not using Excel) and literally pasting values into excel for calculations there. By the system I mean the program in which all of the information is manually entered (not SQL which updates from the system automatically on a nightly basis) i.e. account demographics, charges, payments, appointments, etc. The data that I am pulling into excel is Name of Provider, Type of Provider, Responsible Payor, Charges, Payments, Adjustments, and Date. It is pulled and updated on a daily basis, which is part of the problem, each time that I add a new day's data it has to reprocess to include the new rows.
Here are some of the formulas
=IF(ISERROR(SUM(IF((Source!$A$5:$A$150000='Provider Weekly-WTD'!$A8)*((Source!$K$5:$K$150000>='Provider Weekly-WTD'!B$6)*(Source!$K$5:$K$150000<('Provider Weekly-WTD'!B$6)+7)),Source!$E$5:$E$150000,""))),"-",SUM(IF((Source!$A$5:$A$150000='Provider Weekly-WTD'!$A8)*((Source!$K$5:$K$150000>='Provider Weekly-WTD'!B$6)*(Source!$K$5:$K$150000<('Provider Weekly-WTD'!B$6)+7)),Source!$E$5:$E$150000,"")))
, and
Since I am somewhat limited as to displaying the actual data here, and can only display the formulas I think that I am asking if the formulas I am using are ok, and/or are causing the issue. If it's not the formulas does it sound possible that the data, or the format that the data is in is causing the issue. For example I had someone tell me that because the date format (in the format settings) has the * in front of it, that it's causing the problem.

Michigan's Borseth steps down as coach
Fifth-year coach Kevin Borseth resigned as Michigan women's basketball coach after posting a 77-73 overall record and a 38-48 Big Ten mark with the Wolverines. Michigan made a 2012 NCAA Tournament appearance. "I have decided to resign my position and return to Wisconsin-Green Bay as head coach," Borseth said. Read more at MGoBlue.com. And have a look at this 2008 video profile of Borseth in this post where Mike Hall reports on how the coach revived the program.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I've been working on trying to improve the attribute-based EF reverse engineer code templates from Rowan and Saber Soleymani here:
Basically all the changes are in the Entity.tt
One of the major problems I'm having is that in order to figure out what attributes do and don't need to be serialized out (Required, ForeignKey, Column, DatabaseGenerated, etc) is that I need to duplicate the logic in the Code First model building (as seen
in Entity.tt)
The known bug with that Entity.tt currently is that it doesn't add the ForeignKey attribute when needed - at runtime you end up with something like "column OtherTable_Id was not found" since, even though the class in question as both the FK and
the navigation property, the existing convention logic didn't "pair them up", so there needs to be an attribute to make it clear.
It seems reasonable to believe that the convention code might change over time, so rather than continuing to add more code that duplicates (or attempts to do so) the convention code already in Code First, I was wondering if there's anyway to get access to
the logic via a service of some sort?
If/when such a thing could exist, I'd much rather have the reverse-generation use that to figure out which attributes were necessary (either by starting with none, and adding based on the 'model diff', or starting with all and removing the ones that don't
make a difference - whatever ends up being a better approach.

Release Date: 2005-11-11 (Limited)
Genre: Drama, Comedy
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 29min
In Niagara Motel, several struggling individuals cross paths at a low-rent motel in the tourist Mecca of Niagara Falls. They are not tourists and they are all, for various reasons, at crisis points in their lives. The main characters are: a knockout waitress being recruited to star in low budget porn videos, a young couple with criminal pasts struggling to recover their child from social services and a middle class husband and wife whose marriage is disintegrating. The story also includes the woeful drunken motel manager, a prostitute working to support two children, a small time hustler, an underachieving staple salesman, the Serbian owner of the motel, his physics studying daughter and a social worker with a Christian bias. The needs of these people, their obvious failings and the unlucky conditions of their lives make them so vulnerable that they careen from the disturbing to the hilarious in a breathless instant. In this story, tragedy waltzes with unpredictable comedy in an intense dance of life.

Schafer, H H; De Villiers, J N; Sudano, I; Dischinger, S; Theus, G R; Zilla, P; Dieterle, T (2012). Recommendations for the treatment of hypertension in the elderly and very elderly--a scotoma within international guidelines. Swiss Medical Weekly, 142:w13574.
View at publisher
The recommendations of international scientific societies for the treatment of hypertension in the geriatric population are different. Lack of outcome trials, non-standardised terminology as well as differing levels of evidence contribute to the inconsistencies in the guidelines. This review article compares six international guidelines (ESH-ESC 2007/2009, SHG 2009, DHL 2008, CHEP 2010, NICE 2011 and JNC7 2003) as well as the consensus document of the ACCF/AHA 2011 in terms of their recommendations of drug classes, target blood pressure values and the use of combination therapy. Generally, antihypertensive therapy appears to be clinically beneficial in geriatric patients. Target blood pressure values of <140-150/90 mm Hg and <140/90 mm Hg can be used as a general guideline for octogenarians (80-89 yrs) and septuagenarians (70-79 yrs) respectively. While angiotensin-II converting enzyme inhibitors and diuretics appear to be advantageous in treating combined systolic-diastolic hypertension, calcium-channel blockers and diuretics are to be recommended in the management of isolated systolic hypertension. Combination therapy often increases the efficacy of the treatment as well as patient medication adherence. Furthermore, by making the most of drug combination synergy, lower doses may be used resulting in fewer side-effects.

I know how you feel, honestly...
About four years back I got asked to help a friend to look after three ponies (one of which she loaned) while theyre owners were away. I know it was only for a week, but the ponies were amazing, so much different from riding school ponies, and we jumped, galloped across fields, rode bareback to the field etc, until the owners came back, and I went back to a riding school, and it just wasnt the same anymore...
Luckily, the girl who I'd helped knew someone who then wanted a pony riding, so in came Bramble, who's 11hh, and an absolute monster, and I rode him for about 6 months (as well as helping to look after a yardful of horses at the weekends) before my parents finally realised that I was capable of having a pony, and balancing life and everything, and the next spring they got Bronson for me (:
maybe you could see if anybody round your area wants their horses riding at a weekend or a couple of days a week? you could always place a little work for rides ad in your local tackshop. but, if they've agreed to get you a horse of your own (great thing to put on your vet/uni apllication too) then that's great!

What ever happens don't loose heart. I know it's tough but my parents could never have afforded to buy me a horse so I had to wait till I was 21 before I could afford to buy myself. I started wanting one at about 10 so it was a long wait, but all the better for knowing that I did it all myself. When you're a vet you'll be able to afford any horse you want (if the fees are anything to go by lol!)
Keep trying with offering work for rides, there are people out there. I had many fun years helping people who just didn't have the time to look after their horses and wanted someone to love and care for them.
You'll get there in the end, and trust me, it's worth the wait!
CONI x x
my dad was the same, but my mam persuaded him, using the argument "it will stop her getting 2 intense with studying...and stop her hanging round street corners on a night...you dont want her 2 start getting into trouble coz she's got nothing 2 do do u??"it worked, not sure how gullible ur dad is tho, mine is very gullible!(but lovable too)
can i point out i wasnt hanging round on street corners!!it was a hypothetical situation!!im not a chav, and i never stood a chance at getting served 4 booze, i still cant get served and im 18!
yh, your right. I am a detemined person and can;t give up which is kinda weird. My dad isn't gullable, he is so stubborn, but I don't think were going to get one...but you know what? I don't mind, I can wait! It'll be worth it like you said, Ok i'm not going to make it to the top, win a gold medal at the olypics, spend 500 grand on a show jumping horse, but so what? As long as I am healthy, have a good job, have a lving family, enjoy what I do, then thats all that matters right? However, that doesn't stop me from trying, lol

i was in a sort of similar situation last winter ! i'm 14, and ive been riding for about 8 years, and every birthday wish i can remember has been 'a pony of my own' lol. but mum and dad, whilst they say theyd love to be able to get me a pony, just cant afford it, and i was getting really upset because the riding school i was at wasnt able to give me what i wanted [higher jumps, faster ponys, xc, shows etc lol]. i also rode friends horses, and i know a lady who rescues horses, so i spent a lot of time with hers, which was SO rewarding, but just made me more frustrated at my situation. i ended up quitting my lessons, but then 'a miracle happened' ! lol. in the form of two awful ponys that i now share on loan with my best friend. theyre horrible, they bite kick bolt . . . and i love them, theyre the best thing that ever happened to me. i have actually started lessons again, and its so much better now. im also getting a job now, saving up for my own after uni.
just keep trying, word of mouths brilliant if you can get horsy friends to tell their friends that you're willing to work for rides or something. good luck, you're last post about 'i'm not going to make it to the top, win a gold medal at the olypics, spend 500 grand on a show jumping horse' is something i had to accept recently aswell, but you can always dream ! [i do anyway ;)]
good luck, let us know how you get on ! xxx

I'm glad to announce that Ruby per applicazioni web has been published by Apogeo. This is the first Ruby book written in Italian and I was a contributor as a technical reviewer and author of an appendix about Ruby and DB2. As you can see my name is only located inside the book and not on the cover, because while international publishers are usually glad to add contributors to the cover page, however in this case the Italian publisher decided to only include the main author's name on the cover.
You can read Lawrence's rant about this here. I don't see this as a personal blow though, what really matters is that Ruby is booming across the globe, and creating a revolution in the development world and that we now have an Italian book to help my fratelli d'Italia.
While on the subject, there are a few remarkable books that I'm currently reading or have just finished reading, and I'd like to recommend them to my visitors:
While listing books, these are some of the books I plan to read in the next few months, straight from my Amazon wish list (feel free to help slim it down :-P):
Should any author or publishing house be interested in having me read and provide a thorough, unbiased review of these titles or related work, I'm available to do so, and can be reached by email. I will gladly publish my review in this blog and on amazon 😉
If you enjoyed this post, then make sure you subscribe to my Newsletter and/or Feed.
Cool dude! I'm going to check this out.
Great list of books. I actually picked up both Ruby for Rails and Rails Recipes last month, and I totally agree with you! Ruby for Rails was the "missing link" for me; now I understand the Rails code I write 😉
The Long Tail – almost bought it last week, but instead got The Tipping Point (another great book so far). I'll be picking up The Long Tail as soon as I finish!
(Also eagerly awaiting the Django book. The company I just started with is most likely going to use Django for their new product, so that gives me a great excuse to buy the book and learn some Python too!)

Destinol offers the simplest and most effective way to liberate, avoid and inhibit bacterial vaginosis, while freeing you from unpleasant scents.
Bacterial vaginosis, often used synonymously with vaginal odor, is the result of an overload of bad bacteria in the body, which then leads to an infection. The infection causes this unpleasant odor. It's most common among women of childbearing age, but it can affect anyone.
To prevent and treat bacterial vaginosis, see the outline below.
Three Step-Guide to Treat and Prevent Bacterial Vaginosis:
Step with care and tact, and remember that life's a great balancing act. Relax though, and find your footing with Destinol – to calm vaginal odors and bacterial vaginosis.
Conventional methods of bacterial vaginosis elimination chemically eat away at the body's natural microorganisms, or are too harsh. This leads toward antibiotics that are usually prescribed. Destinol however, is the original, one-step solution for BV, which combines herbs for long-lasting relief. It's set in in a capsule, making Destinol very efficient, quick and more hygienic than messy creams and gels.
Destinol is also commitment-free, so don't hesitate to make a purchase.

A DARFIELD family are reeling following a sickening attack on their pet rabbit that has since had to be put down.
Matthew, 26, and Terri Dyson, 29, of Snape Hill Road, have had to console their son Russell, nine, since the incident on Saturday.
Gwen, a two-year-old, was Russell's rabbit and had to be put down by the emergency vet, who revealed its back had been broken in two places.
It's believed that an intruder in the back garden took the rabbit from its cage, broke its back, then threw it over a fence into the front garden.
The RSPCA is now investigating - reports can be made to 0300 1234 999.
Th full story appeared in the Wombwell edition of the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated February 21.

Hey guys, I am delighted to present the latest Myers figure added to the Creations Unearthed lineup. This 1 is special well because I haven't seen an H8 around in 1/6 scale. The figure is fully articulated, pose him in whatever way you want. Weeks of research and work went into making the head sculpt. I am pretty happy with how it came out.
I hope you like it. Cheers!

Ruscher, J. B., & Hammer, E. Y. (2004). (Eds.) Current directions in social psychology. Prentice-Hall.
The American Psychological Society contracted with Prentice-Hall to package articles from the APS journal Current Directions in Psychological Science as readers for psychology courses (CD is published 6 times a year by Blackwell). The reader for social psychology is one of the first to go to press. The social psychology reader comprises 25 articles that address The person in the situation, Influences on social knowledge, Close relationships, Prosocial behavior and aggression, Intergroup conflict and prejudice, and Applying social psychology. Each section is preceded by our introduction to the topic, and is followed by critical thinking questions that instructors may use with each article.
Current Directions articles truly are ideal for undergraduate courses, in
that they are written in accessible language. For example, because of the general readership
of CD a social psychologist author
is not
necessarily assuming the reader is a fellow social psychologist, so there's little jargon or
highly technical language. Although accessible, the articles are written by

Let's consider a continuous function of bounded variation that is defined on a finite interval: $f: [0,t] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. Assume that we have a positive, continuous function that is bounded away from zero: $g: [0,t] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. Then we have the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral of g with respect to f, well defined as a function of the upper limit of integration: $$I(s)=\int_{0}^{s}g(u)df(u), \ 0\leq s \leq t.$$ If we assume that $f(0)=0$ and that $I(s)=0, \forall 0 \leq s \leq t$, can we conclude that $f(s)=0, \forall s \in [0,t]$ ? Any help or comment is greatly appreciated, thanks!

The Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral $\int_0^x g(s)\ df(s) = \int_0^x g(s) d\mu(s)$ where $\mu$ is the signed measure on $[0,t]$ corresponding to $f$. By the Hahn decomposition theorem we can write $\mu = \mu_+ - \mu_-$ where $\mu_+$ and $\mu_-$ are finite positive measures, and there is a measurable $A \subseteq [0,t]$ such that $\mu_-(A) = 0$ and $\mu_+([0,t] \backslash A) = 0$. Thus $\mu_+(B) = \mu(A \cap B)$ and $\mu_-(B) = - \mu(B \backslash A)$ for all measurable $B$. Now if $f$ is not identically $0$, neither is $\mu$. If $V$ is the total variation of $f$ on $[0,t]$, $\|\mu\| = \|\mu_+\| + \|\mu_-\| = V > 0$.
Now let $g$ be a continuous strictly positive function on $[0,t]$. Thus

Social media is no longer just for the young at heart
By Amy McIlwain
Financial Social Media Marketing
Social media usage is up, with more and more older users utilizing the Internet each and every day. And companies are taking advantage of this trend.
I flew from Denver to Minneapolis last week to spend some time with my family and friends that I haven't seen in a long while. During my stay I had the pleasure of attending a family member's graduation party. As I munched on yummy cakes and mingled with relatives that I hadn't seen in years, I received myriad questions about my personal and professional life that I had never discussed with them before.
To my not necessarily surprised, but more satisfied and excited discovery, my aunts, uncles, cousins and family friends were all keeping up with me on Facebook. They knew about my new home, my travels and even about the movie I saw a few weeks ago.
I knew that they were online, but what I didn't realize was how active they were in keeping up with their connections. And it's not just my family; I've heard about numerous friends whose parents and even grandparents are online more than they are.
Social media is no longer just for the young at heart. According to a survey by the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project, the fastest growing demographic for Facebook and other social media are those age 50 and over.
Furthermore, social networking use among Internet users ages 50 and older nearly doubled between 2009 and 2010. Even more impressive are the even higher figures for the oldest users: usage among those over the age of 65 grew 100 percent.
So what's up with the high growth among the baby boomer generation? The top three reasons for logging on include keeping in touch with family and friends, hunting for people from their past and seeking support for chronic illnesses.
And check this out – a study from the U.K. found that 1 in 5 grandparents use social media. The study also reported that 68 percent of grandparents on social networks only joined in the last year.
So which social networks are they turning to?
There are baby boomer networking Facebook fan pages, and Twitter members dedicated to reaching the senior market, like SeniorBiz, which boasts almost 35,000 followers. The LinkedIn group Senior Care Services Companies has over 2,500 members!
If your company's target market is among the aging generation, it would be advantageous and monetarily rewarding to start networking and connecting online.
Create a Facebook Fan Page and reach out to those within your market. Get on Twitter and start following individuals that would find value in your content. You can even sign up for a LinkedIn account, network with fellow connections and join relevant groups where you can share your knowledge and join in the conversation.
So get your business out there and start taking advantage of the growing demographic online.

Big Head Todd And The Monsters
If the flower should lose her green
And the cold never turn to spring
Show me, show me where I'm imagining
All the things I haven't learned to see
Breaker, please...
Oh, I lost my loving mind, and found it again
If my mind should take me down below
Black and white blood should lifeless flow
Remind my heart that you're listening
Break my neck and I'll hear you sing
Breaker, please...
Oh, I've lost my loving mind, and found it again
In the universe without you and me
Love carries on at twice the speed
Blows behind us and wrecks everything
Break my neck and I'm lost in the breeze
Breaker, please...

Sheby H. Rider Haggard
H. Rider Haggard's classic tale of fantasy and adventure set in a lost world ruled by a two-thousand-year-old queenOn the occasion of his twenty-fifth birthday, Leo Vincey opens the locked iron box that is his birthright and finds an ancient potsherd. Following clues engraved on the relic, Vincey and the man who raised him, Cambridge professor Horace Holly, embark on a remarkable adventure that will take them from Victorian England to an uncharted region in East Africa. Surviving shipwreck, disease, and hostile natives, they discover a lost civilization no European has ever encountered--or lived to describe. They have entered the realm of the cruel and beautiful Ayesha, known to those who worship her as "She-who-must-be-obeyed." For two thousand years, the white queen has been waiting--for what, Vincey and Holly are about to find out.One of the bestselling novels of all time, She has held readers in its thrall for more than a century. Alongside Haggard's other classic, King Solomon's Mines, it established the conventions of the lost world fantasy genre, and has inspired some of our greatest thinkers and writers, from Sigmund Freud to J. R. R. Tolkien to Margaret Atwood.

A runaway bestseller on its publication in 1887, H. Rider Haggard's She is a Victorian thrill ride of a novel, featuring a lost African kingdom ruled by a mysterious, implacable queen; ferocious wildlife and yawning abysses; and an eerie love story that spans two thousand years. She has bewitched readers from Freud and Jung to C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien; in her Introduction to this Modern Library Paperback Classic--which includes period illustrations by Maurice Greiffenhagen and Charles H. M. Kerr--Margaret Atwood asserts that the awe-inspiring Ayesha, "She-who-must-be-obeyed," is "a permanent feature of the human imagination."From the Trade Paperback edition.
She and Allanby H. Rider Haggard
In Haggard's canon, this book was inevitable. It was destiny that his two greatest characters, both located in the Dark Continent, should meet.

A recent hypothesis suggests that a major function of sleep is to renormalize synaptic changes that occur during wakefulness as a result of learning processes [G. Tononi, C. Cirelli, Sleep and synaptic homeostasis: a hypothesis, Brain Res. Bull. 62 (2003) 143-150; G. Tononi, C. Cirelli, Sleep function and synaptic homeostasis, Sleep Med. Rev. 10 (2006) 49-62]. Specifically, according to this synaptic homeostasis hypothesis, wakefulness results in a net increase in synaptic strength, while sleep is associated with synaptic downscaling. Since synaptic activity accounts for a large fraction of brain energy metabolism, one of the predictions of the hypothesis is that if synaptic weight increases in the course of wakefulness, cerebral metabolic rates should also increase, while the opposite would happen after a period of sleep. In this study we therefore measured brain metabolic rate during wakefulness and determined whether it was affected by the previous sleep-wake history. Three groups of mice in which behavioral states were determined by visual observation were subjected to 6h of sleep deprivation (SD). Group 1 was injected with 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) 45 min before the end of SD, while Group 2 and Group 3 were injected with 2-DG after an additional period (2-3h) of waking or sleep, respectively. During the 45-min interval between 2-DG injection and sacrifice all mice were kept awake. We found that in mice that slept approximately 2.5h the 2-DG-uptake was globally decreased, on average by 15-20%, compared to the first two groups that were kept awake. On average, Group 2, which stayed awake approximately 2h more than Group 1, showed only a small further increase in 2-DG-uptake relative to Group 1. Moreover, the brain regions in which 2-DG-uptake increased the least when waking was prolonged by approximately 2h showed the most pronounced decrease in DG-uptake after sleep. The data are consistent with the prediction that sleep may reset cerebral metabolic rates to a lower level.

Goalscorer on cup win
by Kate Smith
Phil happy with performance.
Phil Bardsley set Sunderland on their way to the quarter finals of the Capital One Cup with a second-half goal against Southampton at the Stadium of Light.
The full-back broke the deadlock just before the hour mark with his first goal for the club since Southampton's last visit to Wearside back in May.
The more time we spend with the boss, the better we are going to get
- Phil Bardsley
After a slow start to the game, Sunderland took the lead following an Adam Johnson free kick.
The winger fired the ball forward from around 25 yards out and after a melee inside the box Jozy Altidore nodded an effort at goalkeeper Kelvin Davis, who pushed the ball into the path of Bardsley.
"I knew the goal was in," Bardsley told safc.com after the game. "I was able to get a touch as the keeper pushed it out to me and I saw it fly into the net.
"It is nice to get into that position and pop up with a goal but most important thing is that we win football matches - and keep doing it."
The defender also paid tribute to head coach Gus Poyet following the win, as the team continues to familiarise themselves with the new coach's style of play and transfer his way of thinking onto the pitch.
"The performance was key for us – that and to play the way the manager wants us to play and get his philosophy out on the pitch.
"He wants us to pass the ball a lot more," Bardsley continued. "Yes, it's a new style for us, but we're all willing to learn and adapt.
"It worked for us tonight as it's got us the win, which is also important.
"During the break, he told us to keep doing what we had been in the first half. I felt we were a little bit slow out of the blocks when we came out for the second half but the longer the game went on the more control we had."
The changes are going to take time; it won't happen overnight but hopefully when it does we'll see the benefits
- Phil Bardsley
The 28-year-old has featured in all games since Poyet's arrival after recovering from an injury and believes that the former Chelsea man's fervour for the game will have a positive impact on the players:
"The more time we spend with the boss, the better we are going to get.
"The changes are going to take time; it won't happen overnight but hopefully when it does we'll see the benefits.
"Beating Southampton has set up a game with Chelsea in the next round. It is going to be difficult but that's what we want to be doing.
"We want to be making progress and putting a cup run together. It's another game at the Stadium of Light and I imagine there'll be a big crowd on the night; these are the games we want to be playing."

Reviews for Amish Raisin Cookies
"Delicious! I've made them a couple of times now - I've adapted the recipe to be vegan using Nucoa buttery sticks and Egg-Replacer. Very good! I sprinkle the top of each cookie with a little Demerara sugar to give them that little extra crunchy sugary magic!"
"wow this cookies are so good and I didn't even put raisins in it!! Good Job who ever put this on here!!"
"very bland tasting...maybe some cinnamon would help but all and all not a very good tasting cooking...everything ended up in the garbage"
"Did not like these, didn't turn out as pictured, recipe made only 40 cookies not even close to 6 dozen , will not make again, I think there is something wrong with it ?"
"I am an experienced cook and huge fan of TOH, however I have tried twice to get this excellent tasting cookie to come out as pictured and "cracked." I will try once more."
