There are many obstacles to driving safely after Gustav

HOUMA With traffic lights coming back slowly and sporadically as power is restored to local parishes, State Police Troop C officials urged locals to drive defen-sively and regard all out power lights as four-way stops or pay the price.
Were going to take care of the people we catch, said Trooper Gilbert Dardar, a spokesman for Troop C. At a time like this, we have so many different things to do. The last thing we need is people getting into serious accidents.
Dardar said hes seen plenty of people around the parish ignoring the signals and blowing right through them, which is against state law. Troopers will be ticketing for the offense.
Local and state police said they are monitoring busy intersections, but will not have someone constantly directing traffic at those locations.
Its a manpower thing, said Substitute Houma Police Chief Todd Duplantis, saying that in this time of crisis there were many important jobs all over the parish that required police help. Weve been posting police at those intersections to monitor, and if we see traffic is backing up well get out and direct.
As of Saturday morning, parish officials had identified 45 lights at major intersections that were damaged during Gustav. Of that number, 10 have been repaired and are working. As power comes back, the rest will resume operation.
While officers are stationed at busy intersections, few were actually directing traffic Friday or Saturday.
State Police logged 10 crashes Friday, according to trooper Gilbert Dardar, a spokesman for State Police Troop C.
We have anything but perfect driving conditions at this time," Dardar said. Use common sense and drive defensively.
The bridge over the Houma Navigation Canal has been repaired and the Dularge Overpass -- which was stuck open Friday -- was expected to be reopened Saturday.
While portable stop signs are on the way, Bill Dodd, an attorney for the Sheriff's Office who has acted as a spokesman for the hurricane response, said officers may be assigned to direct traffic to prevent backlogs.
"If need be, there will be officers that will be at those key intersections," Dodd said.
Dardar had a few tips for drivers to stay safe on the powerless roads.
This is a time when the parish is open for movement to do things like get supplies and repair your damages. Its not a time to drive down the bayou and check out the damage and take pictures, Dardar said. If you have nothing better to do, go next door and help your neighbor clean up.
Dont be talking on your cell phone or listening to the radio real loud, Dardar said. All these minute distractions can become deadly."

What is the best way to download files to local hard drive when logged in to another computer using ssh in bash. I'm aware of sftp, but it is not convienent, e.g. it lacks tab completion of directory names. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.1 . I don't have a public IP and would not like to setup dynamic Dynamic DNS solution.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I'm also running Ubuntu 8.04.1, and if I type
I do indeed get tab completion (i.e. bash is sshing to my server and getting completion results from the filesystem there). Then
copies my .bashrc from my server to the current directory on my local machine.
If you don't get this, try
I don't know.
I'd $ scp host:file locallocation
As far as I know there is no simply scp-on-steroids that lets you autocomplete on remote folder-structures. If you just want to basically mount a remote folder, take a look at sshfs. Or just try mounting a remote directory with ssh://... within Nautilus.
I actually like to use the command line SCP client. :) I do not know how it does this, but my SCP on Ubuntu (from openssh-client 1:4.7p1-8ubuntu1.2) actually does tab-completion of remote directories and files on hosts where I usually auth via public key.
ssh-xfer is what you are looking for. Once you have it set up, you can type (from within the
$ ssh-xfer foo.txt
and foo.txt will magically show up on your local machine.
How about FISH? File transfer over Shell - You can use Midnight Commander in your console:
Then hit F9; Right (for the Right panel) -> Shell link Type in the ssh link of the remote host. At the prompt enter machine name specify:
The system will prompt for the password (or auto login if your SSH keys are setup for that)
Now you can browse the remote filesystem, select and copy over (F5) as you wish.

I would like the header graphic to extend to the width of the page (as opposed to the full width of the browser window).
This width seems to be defined by padding in the .site element, and I can't figure out how or what to target to make the graphic either overlap the padding or override it. Or whatever.
I'm not at all sure how to approach this problem, and hints (or a handy guide) would be appreciated.

Competition is the ideal, but an audit shows that DOD often sidesteps the process. (Stock image)
The Defense Department held fewer competitions for contracts in fiscal 2012 than in 2008, declining in total by 5.5 percent during the four-year span, according to a report released March 28. The majority of the non-competitive contract awards were tagged as having only a single company able to do the work, justifying a sole-source award.
In fiscal 2012, DOD obligated $359 billion through contracts and task orders, of which $205.3 billion, or 57 percent, went to competitive awards. In 2008, DOD obligated 62.6 percent of its money through the competitive process, the Government Accountability Office found in its analysis of spending data.
The 2012 competition rate varied widely across the services.. The Air Force had the lowest competition rate at 37.1 percent. The Defense Logistics Agency had the highest rate at 83.3 percent.
Defense officials have several factors that affect their attempts to reach competition goals. The department may rely too much on an original equipment manufacturer; GAO concluded that this has been a long-standing challenge for officials. The rate also is affected when DOD buys on behalf of a foreign government.
GAO wrote that DOD does not consider such factors as it sets annual competition goals. Instead, it adds two percentage points to what it did the prior year.
Reasons given to justify sole-source contracts. (GAO graphic)
"Without identifying and tracking the specific factors affecting competition DOD cannot set meaningful goals for improving competition or accurately gauge its progress toward achieving them," GAO wrote.
In response to GAO, Richard Ginman, director of procurement and acquisition policy at DOD, wrote that he would consider such factors when setting future goals.
GAO had another issue with DOD, as it faces a high number of competitions where only a single company could responsibly handle the work: the Pentagon's procurement workforce does not keep reliable records. GAO recommended defense officials push the military branches to collect reliable data these types of contracts.
In 2010, under DOD's Better Buying Power initiative, officials considered any solicitation in which DOD received just one bid an "ineffective competition." A contracting officer would have to revamp the requirements and put the work out for bid for another month.
That policy remains in place, but the data are not there. The poor data-collection prevents officials from determining if the policy, in fact, works.
With better records, "the department could better determine the effects of its new requirement on one-offer contracts," GAO wrote. "The impact of the requirement is unknown because of unreliable data."
In an analysis of 35 one-offer awards, GAO's auditors found contracting officers had incorrectly coded 10 of the awards in the procurement database that DOD relies on to measure the impact of its new requirement. But six of the 10 awards were noncompetitive awards, and the remaining four had received multiple offers.
"As a result, GAO determined that DOD's data cannot be used to accurately calculate the amount obligated on one-offer awards during fiscal year 2012," GAO wrote.
Ginman assured auditors he would review training policies and then update guidance to improve the quality of the information entered into the Federal Procurement Data System. In addition, he wrote, officials would raise the issue at competition advocates' meetings in the future.

Onboard Active Safety System
Due to the growth of complexity and cost of aviation operations caused by the increase in the number of aircraft and air traffic, it has become clear that in the not too distant future it will be impossible to provide and maintain appropriate levels of flight safety with the current safety systems and aviation infrastructure. The aim of the ONBASS project, therefore, is to propose, analyse and develop the innovative Principle for Active System Safety (PASS) for aviation. Rather than just recording data during an aircraft's flight, in order to allow post-crash analysis to be carried-out, ONBASS proposes the analysis of available data in real time during the flight and reacting on them with the aim of accident prevention.
Project objectives
ONBASS is concerned with the formulation of the theoretical principles of aviation system safety: the flight safety (risk) model, the information flow model and the control system model. These models make it possible to determine the scope of the applicability of ONBASS. Subsequently, analysis of the dependencies within and between the models will permit the definition of the features, functions and structures of the system, software and hardware. A comparison between the existing and the proposed system structure of aviation safety will be drawn-up with the aim of optimising the project's outcomes. To match this demand, the scope of ONBASS is the following:
1. Further theoretical and conceptual development of the active safety principle and formation of theoretical models to analyse the limits of the principle's applicability.
2. Research and development of basic fault tolerant hardware elements for the on-board part of the active safety system.
3. Concepts, design and development of a resilient system software core for the active safety system.
In terms of the system software, the main characteristics of ONBASS will be extremely high reliability, fault-tolerant concurrency, recoverability of processed data, support mechanisms for real-time fault detection, system reconfiguration in case of hardware fault or degradation, high performance and hard real-time scheduling. In terms of system hardware, ONBASS will provide the highest possible reliability, recoverability, fault tolerance, thermal and vibration resistance, survivability and graceful mechanical degradation.
Description of the work
The initial phase of the project covers the theory and operational model, taking into account the intended application domain of general aviation. After a systematic survey of the application domain and the processing of existing statistical data within it, the profile of flight risk for commercial and general aviation will be developed. With this data available, in combination with the analysis of existing systems, a conclusion will be made about features of operational models that will enable an operational risk analysis in flight real-time. From the operational risk analysis model, a reliability model of flight will be derived, aiming at the possibility of real-time prognosis of flight risk. The programming of the reliability model and a simulation of its operation in real-time data processing will be carried out.
Based on this, the overall system will be defined and specified. The objectives of this work are to clearly and concisely define the overall requirements of the system, both from the external point of view of its users and also in terms of its internal function, and to ensure that the safety context and safety requirements are clearly defined. The outcome of this work will be a system specification covering software, hardware and overall system aspects, which include safety, certification and qualification and human-machine interface issues.
After this step, the software and hardware modules of the demonstrator will be developed in parallel. This work will begin with a definition of the respective software and hardware structures, and will be completed with the verification of the software modules and the hardware prototype. The main objective of the hardware-related work consists of developing a highly reliable system including fault-tolerant processors, system memory, flight memory and communication interfaces.
Finally, the verified software modules will be integrated into the corresponding hardware prototype and an overall system verification will be performed, making use of suitable simulation and laboratory set-ups. Once the overall system performance has been verified, the ONBASS prototype will be installed on-board a general aviation aircraft in order to verify the system in flight. However, the flight hours will be limited. This means that validation activities onboard the aircraft are out of the scope of this project.
Expected results
The expected results of the ONBASS project can be summarised as follows:
- Availability of an operational model and a theoretical model of flight risk.
- Rigorous system requirements for the realisation of the principle of active safety systems.
- Conceptual design and a prototype development of the relevant system software.
- Conceptual design and prototype development for on-board embedded hardware.
- Overall ONBASS prototype that will demonstrate the requested capabilities in-flight.

Ayite, 27, has penned a three-year deal at Craven Cottage, with the Championship club holding an option for a further 12 months.
The Togo international caught the eye of Fulham after his two seasons at Bastia, in which he made over 60 appearances and scored 16 goals.

Dr. Karl %u201CFritz%u201D Disque of Racine, Wis., with the help of his nephew, Walt Kress, demonstrate life support during a visit to Costa Rica by volunteers with the Disque Foundation of Brownstown. The purpose of the trip was to train health care providers and other local citizens in basic life support skills, and to contribute at the Pueblito de Costa Rica Orphanage. Disque is a member of the foundation's board. SUBMITTED PHOTO
It all started with a mother who encouraged her son to help others.
From there the inspiration grew, not only to a life of giving but to passing that idea on to future generations.
John Disque of Brownstown took the lessons he learned from his mother as one of 11 children and passed that gift of giving to his four children.

I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to create a editor for the PC that we can use to create DDR song files and then find someway to import it. It would be nice for someone to create something like this, because my bro is already bored of all the songs and we already have all three.
Also can someone create something to permit imported maps to go on halo 2. I know if you get that map pack the issue is solved, but for some reason I never seem to get around to getting it.

StepmaniaX is the Xbox port of a free clone of DDR which allows custom songs - find it on xbins, and standard downloaded tracks/stepfiles from the internet should all work on it. I have no idea if it's possible to modify the data files used by the commercial DDR games, but stepmania is pretty sweet anyway

A Redwood Hill Farm favorite
This recipe has been a favorite for as long as we can remember. We recently learned that it first appeared in print in SF Gate on January 2, 2003 in an article by Lynne Char Bennett. CLICK HERE for the link to the original recipe and article which includes wine pairings too.
There is an amazing persimmon tree on the farm, each year it gifts us such an abundance of fruit AND the fall color is spectacular (it's fall and I must get a picture soon and post it here). This tart has it all, great contrast of tart and sweet, the creamy chèvre just shines and it's beautiful to look at before slicing for your family or guests.
Baking with the seasonal harvest is such a great way to celebrate! One of our many Redwood Hill Farm customers sent this recipe to us, and after trying it, we knew we had to include it here. If you have a favorite recipe with any of our artisan goat milk products please send it along—we'd love to share it too.

The Lumia 920 wins the screen quality (332 ppi), battery life and camera quality specs hands down, probably the three most important features where people can actually tell the difference during everyday use. No contest there at all. Knowing that Apple only redesigns hardware once every two years, it will be two more years before they can catch up with the Lumia's OIS camera technology. Kudos Nokia!

Iphone 5
- Lighter and Smaller (subjective advantage)
- More Apps (this is an advantage that is slipping away though - the Windows and Nokia app market is growing quickly, and will excelerate 10 fold with Windows 8)
- Somewhat faster processor (this is not fully established)
- Familiarity for iphone users
- Higher quality materials for the phone body (just don't drop it - it will look worse than your phone now) This is also subjective.
Lumia 920
- Better camera for pictures and video (hands down - I have read several articles written by photopraphers)
- Better operating system (subjective advantage - people need to use it to know)
- Longer battery life (300 hours vs 225 hour standbye/10 hours talk vs 8 hours)
- Standard mini-USB connector. (the iphone uses a new connector, you will need to by a $30 adapter to connect it to your computer)
- Better screen (higher resolution, richer colors, usable in sunlight, more responsive - can be used with gloves!) - by the way "Retina" display is a marketing myth
- Wireless Charging
- Nokia applications and exlusives (like Groupon - some very good ones)
- More memory - I was mistaken about this, Lumia 920 has 32G. The base iphone 5 has 16G. These should cost the same. The higher memory iphones jump in price.
The iphone is actually more on par with the Lumia 820, which will definetly cost less. It had a number of the 920 features but is smaller. It looks just as cool too.

I think Research in Motion has fallen behind the times and isn't keeping up with good OS design, so I wouldn't want a Blackberry device.

You will not match the iPhone 5 battery. iPhone's honestly have some of the best battery life. I mean just look at the GSMarena tests. 10 hours of Web usage is unmatched
In terms of OS being better, that is super subjective. I mean, windows phone is different in it's own respect, but the apps really don't compare in terms of both quality and quantity. As for the standard USB connector.......idk if you just didn't know or anything, but you can use the charger cable of the iPhone 5 and use it to connect to the computer. You don't "have" to go out and buy another lightning cable. Someone without a mini-usb cable has to go buy another one.......
Camera is hands down better on the Lumia 920, screen is bigger but I wouldn't say the quality of the display itself is better. The iPhone 5 has probably one of the best displays honestly along with a few other phones like the One X.

Norwich Mayor Peter Nystrom recognizes the need for persistence and regional support to prevent the area from being forced to house a disproportionate share of ex-convicts released from a sexual-offender rehabilitation program in Montville. Complacency will do his city and the region no good. Unless municipal officials are howling, the Department of Correction and the private contractor handling the release of inmates from the program could well do the easy thing and locate many ex-offenders locally.
Concerns increased last month with reports that three former inmates had been moved into apartments in Norwich, a couple near playgrounds. The DOC has since relocated two of the men, but Nystrom said Monday yet another former client of the rehab facility was recently moved into his city.
Located on the grounds of the Corrigan-Radgowski Correction Center prison in Montville, the January Center is a 24-bed facility that provides a transition from incarceration to community release. The goal is to reduce repeat offenses. It is a sound approach. However, it would be unfair for this region to end up housing a disproportionate share of these ex-offenders, and be subjected to greater risk when some do re-offend, just because the state put the facility in our community.
Montville officials had this concern from the start and negotiated an agreement with the state in October 2011 that states offenders would be released to their "home community or other appropriate location." The DOC points to that "other appropriate location" phrase to justify finding apartments in Norwich, rather than near the ex-cons' home communities.
There is no reason to expect Norwich will be the only focus for the housing. New London has similar rental stock of the type The Connection, Inc. finds attractive. It is contracted by the state to run the January Center and oversee release plans.
Mayor Nystrom appeared before the New London City Council's Public Welfare Committee on Monday to talk about the issue. He got a good reception and New London should join the effort demanding an equitable discharge policy. The Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments has requested that the General Assembly and local lawmakers review the discharge policies to assure fairness for the region.
Keep up the pressure.

Truth is like the stars; it does not appear except from behind obscurity of the night. Truth is like all beautiful things in the world; it does not disclose its desirability except to those who first feel the influence of falsehood.

By speech first, but far more by writing, man has been able to put something of himself beyond death. In tradition and in books an integral part of the individual persists, for it can influence the minds and actions of other people in different places and at different times: a row of black marks on a page can move a man to tears, though the bones of him that wrote it are long ago crumbled to dust.
Julian Huxley (1887 - 1975)
Here shall the Press the People's right maintain, Unaw'd by influence and unbrib'd by gain; Here patriot Truth her glorious precepts draw, Pledg'd to Religion, Liberty, and Law.

There is no substitute for the home. Its foundation is as ancient as the world, and its mission has been ordained of God from the earliest times. There can be no genuine happiness separate and apart from the home, and every effort made to sanctify and preserve its influence is uplifting to those who toil and sacrifice for its establishment. There is no happiness without service and there is no greater service than that which converts the home into a divine institution which promotes and preserves family life.

A story is told of an English officer in old India, who one day went to the book shelf to take down a book. As he reached his hand up over the volume his finger was bitten by an adder. After a few hours the finger began to swell. Later on the swelling went into his arm, and finally the whole body was affected, and in a few days the officer was dead. There are adders concealed in many a book. Let the Saints beware of the books that enter their homes, for their influence may be as poisonous and deadly as the adder which brought death to the English officer in old India.
Do not think it wasted time to submit yourself to any influence that will bring upon you any noble feeling.
John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
She what was honour knew, And with obsequious majesty approv'd My pleaded reason. To the nuptial bower I led her blushing like the morn; all heaven And happy constellations on that hour Shed their selectest influence; the earth Gave sign of gratulation, and each hill; Joyous the birds; fresh gales and gentle airs Whisper'd it to the woods, and from their wings Flung rose, flung odours from the spicy shrub.

But peaceful was the night Wherein the Prince of Light His reign of peace upon the earth began. The winds with wonder whist, Smoothly the waters kiss, Whispering new joys to the mild Ocean,- Who now hath quite forgot to rave, While birds of calm sit brooding on the charmed wave. The stars, with deep amaze, Stand fixed in steadfast gaze, Bending one way their precious influence; And will not take their flight, For all the morning light, Or Lucifer that often warmed them thence; But in their glimmering orbs did glow, Until their Lord himself bespake, and bid them go. And, though the shady gloom Had given day her room, The sun himself withheld his wonted speed, And hid his head for shame, As his inferior flame The new-enlightened world no more should need: He saw a greater Sun appear Than his bright throne or burning axeltree could bear.

Jammu and Kashmir's state authorities organised an employment fair for the Valley's youth in Anantnag District.
The fair was organised with an aim to create awareness among the unemployed youth about various self-employment schemes and programmes.
A large number of unemployed youth attended the fair that was organized by the Department of Employment and Counseling Centre.
"If we will promote such things then it would be very beneficial for the people. So to attract people to such things we have organised this fair today. I am very hopeful that people will come and gather information. They will not only gain information but they will also reap benefits from the various schemes that were introduced," said District Development Commissioner Kifayat Hussain.
The fair saw the participation of various departments of the state including horticulture, agriculture, animal and sheep husbandry, district industries centre, fisheries and sericulture, who set up their stalls and informed the people about various job opportunities in their respective sectors.
A visitor at the fair Abdul Rashid told reporters that such fairs would prove beneficial for the unemployed youth in the region and they should be organised in the future as well.
"The concerned departments have participated in this fair to create awareness and ensure that we reap the benefits of the information provided. These days it is difficult to get government jobs, so one should try his luck in the private sector and they have arranged various schemes in this regard and people would benefit from this and they will look towards these sectors," said Rashid.
The government at present is taking all possible steps to address the problems of the youth in restive Kashmir and in wake of this they launched several schemes, which are aimed to provide employment to them. (ANI)

The map is shown in English only, although WordPress knows current language (WPLANG).
Is there a way to change it to my language?
Hello ronshe
What language are you set at. Pronamic Google Maps currently doesn't have all languages for it. We are always looking for more people to contribute with their translations.
You can find the plugin on github where you can translate the plugin if you are up for it.
Sorry for being unclear.
Your plugin has a translation to my language.
The problem I am pointing at is the language of the map itself.
Look at Moscow map in English
Same map in Russian
Within the Pronamic Google Maps plugin we don't use the WPLANG constant to set the Google Maps language.
The map should therefor display in the language of your browser.
You are correct, but you suggest that I will change the plugin. In this case if my client will update the plugin, than the language settings will be overridden by the new code.
Your plugin does support languages, why couldn't the maps in it support languages too?
Google says that it is preferable to not override the user's preferred language:
In most cases, this is preferable; you usually do not wish to override the user's preferred language setting.
I was traveling Greece and went into an English website to find out how to get somewhere. The computer at the internet-cafe was Greek, so the maps where in Greek too. It was frustrating.
I believe that the website builder should have the choice to decide.
In the development version we added some filters so you can adjust the language programmatically.
In the following example you can see how to set the language:
Thanks a lot Remco,
It does not work yet.
I suppose that I have to wait for a newer version of the plugin (I have 2.2.4).

I had a great time this weekend!!! Got home and realized I lost my Sven saw on the hike out today. Someone gets a cool trail find and I get to shop for another saw. Wonder what I should get??
Welcome from North Iowa!
I'll try to make this one. I haven't been to YRSF yet this year.
Good times!!
I should be there Saturday around noon or earlier. Looking forward to it!!
Stephens was nice! I'm surprised that I haven't heard much about it online.
I'll be there at least on Saturday night, maybe Friday. Just got back from 3 days hammocking at Stephens state forest Woodburn Unit.
Here's mine.
Wish I could have made it this year. I'm sure it was a good time. I'll try to make the next one!
Great looking set up Mud!!!
YRSF would be awesome! I love the WBBB!!! It was very comfortable.
Nice trip report Doody! We should camp there together sometime. I biked out to Spring Park Friday after work and I camped in my WBBB for the first time!
Thanks for the link Mudman!! I used my old Army foam pad last night in my WBBB and I got some condensation between the pad and bag. Is something that always happens when using a pad?
I may try the canted pup tent config. this weekend.
See you Saturday!!
Superfly??? is that a bigger tarp?
Backpacking... but only from the parking area near Brown's Hollow.
I followed your suggestion of putting my foam pad between my bivy bag and sleeping bag in the hammock. I tried it out in the garage and it looks promising. The pad helps keep the bag in...
Brrrrrr!! Better pack warm clothes.
I'm in!
See ya there!
I've boiled or filtered water from the stream the last two times I've camped there.
I camped out this past Friday and Saturday night at YRSF. It was pretty warm out for October, but at least it wasn't raining. Saturday night I was joined by three members from the Hammockforums. It's...
It was a great time and the weather was perfect. I can't wait to go back next month!
I'll be there the 7th, 8th, and 9th. Couple more from Mason City might be there Saturday night too. They've mentioned it over on the new thread....
I'm in for November 11-13. I'll be there October 7-9 too.
I'm still probably going to go on Oct 7th - 9th since I have the 7th off. I'm game to go again later too. Fairly short drive for me.
Nov 11-13 works for me too. I'm easy. I always take Veteran's Day off.
I'm open for late October too. Though I'll probably go somewhere the 7th and 8th since I'm off that Friday. YRSF is only 2 hours drive from me here in Osage, so it's an easy and cheap trip no matter...
I love that camp site!! I hung there in June. Next time I think I'll park in the parking area off the fire road. I used my filter to filter water from the stream too.
I'd be interested. I'm off Friday, October 7th and wanted to camp somewhere close for a couple nights. I was originally thinking about the Loess Hills, but I don't want to drive 4 hours.
It's one of my most used knots and I learned it from Terry's video. Plus, I've seen him use it in person.
I bought the UL for the same reason. I have a Hennessy on backorder, but wanted a light chair for day hikes. I just got the UL last week and for the money, I'm impressed.

I've gone to the w3 total cache install page of the dashboard and cut and pasted the code it says I need into the three separate files (/.htaccess, /wp-content/w3tc/min/.htaccess, and /wp-content/w3tc/pgcache/.htaccess) but I continue to get the messages that disk enhanced page caching and browser caching aren't active and that I need to add code that I've already added.
Since I'm in the process of moving this WordPress site from another host, it currently resides in a subdirectory of a subdirectory of a temp url at the new host (looks something like this: http://12.345.678.90/~subdir1/subdir2/), so I'm guessing that's where the problem lies, but I'm not sure how to fix it. The main mod_rewrite for WordPress is as follows:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

Accenture Names Pierre Nanterme CEO, Replacing Green
Accenture Plc, the world's second-largest technology-consulting firm, named company veteran Pierre Nanterme chief executive officer, replacing Bill Green at the start of next year.
Green, 57, will remain chairman, the Dublin-based company said today in a statement. Nanterme, who has been at Accenture for 27 years, will join the company's board immediately.
Nanterme, 51, will compete with International Business Machines Corp. for consulting projects as companies increase technology spending after the economic slump. He has run Accenture's financial-services business, which makes up more than 20 percent of revenue, since 2007. Prior to that, he ran Accenture units in Africa, Latin America and Europe.
Green started as CEO in September 2004 and became chairman two years later. He's served on Accenture's board since 2001.
Accenture rose 11 cents to $45.56 at 4:01 p.m. on the New York Stock Exchange, and was little changed in extended trading. The shares have climbed 9.8 percent this year.
The company's full-year forecast is unchanged, according to the statement. Last month, Accenture said per-share earnings for the fiscal year ending in August will be at least $3, topping analysts' estimates, as companies spend more on projects such as consolidating technology systems.
((Accenture will hold a conference call to discuss the announcement at 8 a.m. New York time tomorrow. To listen, go to http://investor.accenture.com/.)

Stanford finally made it back to the top. The Cardinal are No. 1
again in women's basketball.
With a big assist from Tennessee, Stanford took over at No. 1 in
The Associated Press poll on Monday -- the first time the Cardinal
have led the rankings since December 1996.
They replaced LSU after the Lady Tigers lost to Tennessee 67-65
in the championship game of the Southeastern Conference tournament
on Sunday. LSU had led the poll for the last five weeks and had a
six-week run at No. 1 earlier in the season.
LSU (29-2) dropped to No. 2 and Tennessee (26-4) climbed two
spots to third. Neither will play again until the NCAA tournament.
Stanford (28-2) played Arizona State on Monday night in the
championship game of the Pac-10 tournament.
Five teams split the 45 first-place votes from the national
media panel, with Stanford getting 28. LSU received 10, Tennessee
had three and No. 4 North Carolina and No. 6 Baylor each received
Stanford had 1,089 points in the voting -- 30 more than LSU.
Tennessee was another 37 points back.
Wisconsin-Green Bay and TCU returned at the bottom of the poll
after being ranked earlier this season. Maryland and Gonzaga
dropped out.
Stanford was No. 1 in the first six polls of the 1996-97 season,
when coach Tara VanDerveer returned to the school after guiding the
U.S. basketball team to the gold medal at the Atlanta Olympics. The
Cardinal's only other appearance at No. 1 was the first poll of the
1992-93 season, seven months after they won the national
Since its last appearance at No. 1, Stanford has won or shared
seven Pac-10 championships, reached the Final Four once and spent
nine weeks at No. 2, including four weeks this season.
North Carolina held at No. 4 and the next three teams all moved
up one place each -- Duke, Baylor and Michigan State. Ohio State
fell five places to eighth, the biggest drop in the poll, after
losing to Minnesota in the Big Ten semifinals.
Rutgers remained ninth and Notre Dame stayed at No. 10.
Texas was 11th and Minnesota jumped three places to 12th. Then
it was Connecticut, Texas Tech and Temple, followed by DePaul,
Kansas State, Iowa State, Vanderbilt and North Carolina State.
Georgia, Penn State, Boston College, Wisconsin-Green Bay and TCU
held the final five places.
Wisconsin-Green Bay (26-3) was ranked for two weeks in
mid-February, then fell out after a loss at home to Youngstown
State. The Phoenix bounced back to win four straight and reach the
championship game of the Horizon League tournament.
TCU (23-9) returned to the Top 25 after winning the Conference
USA tournament, a run that included a victory over then-No. 12
DePaul in the semifinals. The Horned Frogs were ranked 23rd for two
weeks early in the season after beating Georgia, Michigan State and
Oklahoma. They lost three straight after that before recovering to
win 16 of their last 20.
Maryland (21-9), which was 25th, had been ranked all season and
climbed as high as 15th. The Terrapins won three games last week
before losing to Duke by 30 in the ACC tournament semifinals.
Gonzaga earned its first national ranking two weeks ago but
couldn't hang on after its 23-game winning streak was broken with a
loss to Santa Clara on Sunday in the finals of the West Coast
Conference tournament.
Stanford's move to No. 1 was the fourth change at the top of the
poll this season. Tennessee led the first three polls and was
replaced by LSU, which was No. 1 for six weeks before giving way to
Duke. Duke led for three weeks before LSU returned to No. 1 on Jan.

I want to make sure that WordPress does not ping sites listed under "Update Services" in the Option panel when editing old posts. I know WordPress remembers which posts it has already sent pings for, but I'm worried that editing very old posts, before I started pinging sites, will cause a new ping.
Smart Update Pinger could be used with old versions of WP to force this behaviour, but it isn't available anymore. Do new versions of WP have the behaviour I want by default, or is there a different plugin I should be using for WP 2.0? I checked the Codex but it appears to be out of date in this area.

Keep your principles. Half way for Obama means "What's mine is mine and what's yours we will bargain for." Obama isn't going to give on anything and whatever he does offer will be scraps.Hide replies
Intersting that you are quotine an ancient union chant. Ryan's principles? Snake in the grass doesn't have principles.
LOL, return to work Paul? You've never done anything in Congress! And now you're a certified loser on a national stage. The public has resoundingly rejected your "vision".
Your 15 minutes are up Paul.
Paul Ryan thinks that all he will do in the near future is to vote another 43 times to try to repeal the Affordable Care Act because that is all he has done in the last three years that and run for reelection
Paul Ryan, your still a big puss bag loser!!!!!
Ryan had better understand that not only did the majority of people in Wisconsin vote against him but 43% of the people in his district voted against him. Better start compromising Ryan.
How about Paul applies that big brain of his to viable solutions that will help his district, the state and the country? All these jokers are on trial now, and in the next election, the jury will speak based on results, not ideology, promises, campaign strategy. No results and as "The Donald" says, "you're fired!"
As Lawrence O'Donnell likes to say, "the latest failed vice-presidential candidate who will never become president."Hide replies
Ryan won't run. He just drew the short straw.
what excellent comments so far. where are the paid koch staff posters to defend their boy gomer ryan. the big time vp who could not even carry his own county and state what a loser. rinse, scooter and gomer will all be gone by 2014!!!!
...and so the ignorant voter(s) so fluidly transition into the ignorant observers. Can't wait to hear what you'll do when popularity contests don't favor your party and what plan the next liberal junkie has to answer for this, soon to be loser of a second term. I guess you'll find a way to blame Obama's failure on George Bush again. HA!

Great shot and a very effective title of the photo.
Mobius hits it out of the park with this one! Mariah is one of the loveliest models I've seen on this site (objective preference naturally), OMG. I have to go back to her and that outfit for the sensational contrast of that black/white/gold, so rich and elegant, with the perfect background artifacts/props to make this shot sing! You guys rock it on this one. Thanks for sharing your fine style. Love those lighting effects and skin tones, as stated a couple times now.
She is gorgoeous and red and black always a good combination , her expression so sexy
Very pretty.
At a loss for words for how to describe the beauty of this picture. Very sexy!

When we say "I love the members of my own family, the people of my own religion or country or color" bias limits our affection. But with proper practice, from an ordinary level of affection we can develop an unbiased universal love, in which we don't care what other people's faith is, their nationality, or social status - so long as they are human beings, they are our brothers and sisters.

I am only a student of the world, searching inexorably for the truth. The reason I am here is so my brothers and sisters who are equally fascinated by the English language can teach me the same as I teach them. Everyone has something to offer, and I can't wait to see what it is.
Also, where it says "website" that is a fictional commentary on the human condition if anyone who ends up making it down here to the bottom wants something to think about. I try to publish 1100 words (give or take) every Saturday

Early Blight
Yes, it is possible to control early blight using organic methods. Here's how:
Common on tomato and potato plants, early blight is caused by the fungus Alternaria solani, and occurs throughout the United States. It first appears on the lower, older leaves as small brown spots with concentric rings that form a "bull's eye" pattern. As the disease matures, it spreads outward on the leaf surface causing it to turn yellow, wither and die. Eventually the stem, fruit and upper portion of the plant will become infected. Crops can be severely damaged.
Early blight overwinters on infected plant tissue and is spread by splashing rain, irrigation, insects and garden tools. The disease is also carried on tomato seeds and in potato tubers. In spite of its name, early blight can occur any time throughout the growing season. High temperatures (80-85 degrees F.) and wet, humid conditions promote its rapid spread. In many cases, poorly nourished or stressed plants are attacked.
- Prune or stake plants to improve air circulation.
- Make sure to disinfect your pruning shears (one part bleach to 4 parts water) after each cut.
- Keep the soil under plants clean and free of garden debris. Add a layer of organic compost to prevent the spores from splashing back up onto vegetation.
- Drip irrigation and soaker hoses can be used to help keep the foliage dry.
- If symptoms of early blight are present, begin applying a copper based fungicide weekly until harvest. Organic fungicides will not kill the disease, but prevent the fungal spores from germinating.
- Remove and destroy all garden debris after harvest and practice crop rotation the following year.
- Do not compost infected plant parts.
Tip: The organic fungicide Actinovate uses a patented beneficial microorganism (Streptomyces lyrics) that knocks back plant diseases yet is safe to use around pets, people and the environment.

I tried the Facebook Like Button plugin, and found that while it allowed me to "share" a link to the (non-facebook) page on my facebook page, allowing me to add a comment, it did not place a "like" under my "Likes" on my facebook page. It showed up under "Likes Recently", but not the "Likes" above, if you know what I mean. Is this something your plugin should be able to do, but I'm just not configuring it correctly?
I want it to work like the one on this page: http://turnerphotographics.com/portraits/senior/
This one both puts an entry with the link and comment in the timeline, but also puts a thumbnail under "Likes"
It would also be nice if I could choose a thumbnail as well.
