One of the great films of the Hong Kong New Wave, Tsui Hark's Chinese Revolution era adventure is notable for focusing not on the war or heroic men, but on the friendship that grows between three women who find themselves involved in a tangled web of espionage.

Cultural Gutter: Battle of the Brains
All in all, brains aren't really scary – at least up until that moment when you see one pick up a hammer with its spinal cord and come flying at you.
Alcohol Professor: Sinning in Sydney
After more hours than I want to count neatly folded into the capsules that comprise coach service on most major American air carriers, I stepped into Sydney, Australia with only a single thought in my mind: I needed a drink.
Steve McQueen stars as a San Francisco cop assigned to protect a witness against the Mob. Before the film winds to its thrilling conclusion on the tarmac of San Francisco International, viewers will marvel at McQueen's casual cool and one of the best car chases in cinema.
Alcohol Professor: Duelling Counts
On Alcohol Professor, I'm looking at the Dueling Counts fighting over the creation of one of the best cocktails, the Negroni, and James Bond's affection for the drink.
Alcohol Professor: London's Historic Pubs
Like every city in the UK, London has no shortage of public houses both historic and haunted. And as I do any time I'm in a city in the UK, I vowed to cram as many of them as I could into one increasingly tipsy tour of the town's pubs
Master of the Game
Master of the Game is the kind of trashy supermarket checkout line novel that is stuffed with awful members of the uber-rich doing terrible things to one another and hatching elaborate revenge schemes because, what else do they have to do all day?
Rome, Open City
Although one certainly cannot dismiss the impact of World War II on the United States, it's an order of magnitude more shocking to witness the devastation wrought across Europe. For all our suffering, we could come home to a country that remained largely untouched by large-scale conflict. Those in Europe, however, were already home.
Cultural Gutter: Kungfu-Powered Afrocyberpunk Pulp
On The Cultural Gutter, Kungfu-Powered Afrocyberpunk Pulp is a look at Steven Barnes' 1983 novel Streetlethal, which is sort of cyberpunk meets Mack Bolan starring Luke Cage in a story about magic orgy mushrooms.
A Dandy in Aspic
A double agent operating in London dreams of retiring, but his life is complicated when he is assigned to assassinate a traitor: himself. With one foot in the pop art fantasy of James Bond and another in the grim world of John Le Carre, A Dandy in Aspic never quite succeeds at being either.
Cultural Gutter: The Cosmic Crooner
On the Cultural Gutter, we're going on a tour of the universe via The Cosmic Crooner, all about Frank Sinatra's bizarre Trilogy, a third of which is devoted to a swingin' tour of the future.
Cultural Gutter: Neuromancin' with Myself
The early 1990s was also when I read Neuromancer. I read it enthusiastically, devoured every word, and fell in love not so much with the story but with William Gibson's proficiency with the written word. Into this maelstrom of personal evolution and conflicting feelings came Billy Idol's Cyberpunk.

La vita sure is bella!
George Clooney has jetted two of his loves – girlfriend Stacy Keibler and rescue dog Einstein – to his home on Italy's Lake Como for the summer, and they're not taking the beautiful Mediterranean landscape for granted.
Keibler squired Einstein away from the Clooney villa for a boat ride on the lake Saturday, joining friends for a relaxing afternoon on the water.
While Einstein sat contentedly at the bow of the boat, Keibler smiled as she snapped photos of the handsome cocker spaniel. Talk about picture-perfect!

LAS VEGAS – The Texas A&M men's golf team sits in 15th place after the conclusion of the second round at the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters on Saturday.
The Aggies (321-308=629, +52) are back on the course at Southern Highlands Golf Club on Sunday morning during the event's third and final round. A&M will begin teeing off at 11:12 a.m. (CT) and be paired alongside golfers from New Mexico and Texas Tech.
"Today was a little bit better but still not anywhere like we want it to be," Texas A&M head coach J.T. Higgins said. "We are really struggling here this week, but we're looking for a good round tomorrow so we can end on a positive note."
Each player in the A&M line-up improved after Friday's opening round, including junior Greg Yates (77-75=152, +8) who ended the day in a tie for 27th place.
Tournament host UNLV (289-303=592, +16) continues to sit atop the leaderboard while Stanford's Patrick Rodgers (74-69=143, -1) shot a tournament-low round of 69 on Saturday to hold the individual lead.

Finding the ultimate burger was a never-ending search for the food-lovers of Hong Kong. Until The Butchers Club Burger opened on Wan Chai's Landale Street in May 2014. Not only are our juicy bacon cheeseburgers made using our signature dry-aged Black Angus beef from Australia, but the patties are also minced to order in front of the customer, before being thrown back to the kitchen a grilled to a perfect medium, remaining nice and pink in the centre.
The concept came about through The Butchers Club's desire to practise nose-to-tail butchery. After the primary cuts of beef have been used for the brand's signature dry-aged steaks, gorgeous secondary cuts of rump, chuck and brisket are first dry-aged and then ground in the restaurant and sprinkled with our secret seasoning blend.
The menu is limited to one choice of burger, beer and bourbon – although there is also a secret menu, for those in the know that offers a small selection of weird yet wonderful burgers that change regularly. Since its opening, Butchers Club Burger has been packed every day, has received rave reviews and is regarded by most as the best burger in Hong Kong.
A burger at The Butchers Club Burger is like nothing you have ever tasted.
Reservations can only be made for the private dining room at The Butchers Club Burger, Central for a maximum of 10 diners.

My family might be buying a Windows Surface tablet with Windows RT (Nvidia)? I was wondering if I can run Ubuntu or WUBI on it for my homework?
Since on the RT tablet I would say no, since Microsoft requires secure keys in order to boot up it. It would probably on a standard Windows 8 tablet though, since the secure boot is an optional thing for OEM's, unlike the mandatory one for the Surface.

This painting includes structures from three eras: a Greek column, a Gothic cathedral (Notre Dame) and a modern bridge. Agar claimed that this flight of the imagination was the first work in which she began to move towards a more Surrealist style. She and her future husband, the writer Joseph Bard, were living in Paris at this time. It was there that they met André Breton and Paul Eluard, who, she later recalled, were among the poets and painters giving the 'kiss of life' to Surrealism, 'that sleeping beauty troubled by nightmares'.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -.
University spokeswoman Janine Sikes said Monday the jobs are being eliminated as part of the university's $42.2 million in budget cuts to address reduced state funding.
The biggest losers are the UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, which is cutting 20 staff positions and the College of Journalism and Communications, which is eliminating 17 positions, including 14 at its broadcast stations.
Faculty members are receiving a one-year notice and staff members are getting 45 days notice.
Layoff letters started going out Monday and the final letters will be sent next Monday. Most of the employees had already been notified.

Any solution?


text: Posted October 29, 2012 I have serious questions about having the #1 pick this year. I'd probably rather have #2 because it should be easier to trade back with. Hopefully someone will come calling for a QB. I don't think this applies anymore. The changes that happened with the new CBA made it easier to trade up. Look at what happened in this draft. Teams that need a QB will give up a kings ransom for one next year. Just some that I can think of. Kansas City, Bills, Jaguars, possibly the Jets if they just stink it up and Rex gets fired.

Tokyo stocks soared Friday as investors embraced sweeping new Bank of Japan stimulus measures that sent the yen plunging, spelling good news for the country's struggling exporters.
The scope of the BoJ action Thursday -- including doubling the money supply -- took some analysts and investors by surprise, despite expectations of major moves by the bank in its first meeting under new governor Haruhiko Kuroda.
The yen slumped against the dollar and euro after Thursday's announcement, the benchmark Nikkei jumped and bond yields hit a record low as Kuroda vowed no let-up in the battle against the decades of deflation.
The benchmark Nikkei finished the morning session up 3.76 percent, or 475.04 points, at 13,109.58, around highs not seen since August 2008 just before the global financial crisis rocked markets.
The Topix index of all first-section shares climbed 4.15 percent, or 43.02 points, to 1,080.78.
Shares were boosted by a tumbling yen, which sank to a three-and-a-half year low against the dollar. The greenback fetched 97.05 yen against 96.33 yen in New York late Thursday, and way up from 92.71 yen before the BoJ announcement.
The euro also jumped, trading at 125.43 yen against 125.20 yen in US trade and 119.66 yen earlier Thursday. Analysts said the Japanese currency would likely face further pressure Friday.
Investors have so far given a thumbs up to the economic policies of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe after he swept December elections on a pledge to kickstart Japan's struggling economy.
"Japanese stocks had long been undervalued, so the gain is justified," said Daisuke Uno, chief market strategist of Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp.
"But we also need to keep an eye on the downside of the fresh easing measures... We don't know where this gamble will take us."
Abe Friday applauded the action by the central bank, with local media quoting him as saying the market reaction was "exactly what the measures were expected to do".
However, some observers warned the unproven strategy could fail to meet its ambitious targets, while blowing out Japan's already-huge national debt.
"These are bolder steps than we had thought likely," said London-based Capital Economics.
"But the bank won't help itself in the long run if it makes promises it can't keep and here, we suspect, doubts will start to creep in."
Monetary easing tends to weaken a national currency, which makes Japanese goods more competitive overseas and lifts companies' foreign-earned profits when converted back to yen.
The weaker yen boosted major exporters in Tokyo, with Sony up 3.11 percent at 1,622 yen, Canon jumping 4.32 percent to 3,380 yen, Toyota rising 3.35 percent to 5,090 yen and industrial giant Hitachi soaring 5.08 percent to 558 yen.
"The increased appeal of Japanese shares to potential overseas investors, combined with renewed weakening of the yen should lift the market still higher," SMBC Nikko Securities general manager of equities Hiroichi Nishi told Dow Jones Newswires.
The BoJ plans to expand its asset-purchase programme to include riskier bets such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and real-estate investment trusts. ETFs are similar to an index fund, but are market traded like stocks.
It will also buy longer-term government bonds, a move aimed at pushing down long-term interest rates to encourage companies and individuals to borrow instead of hoarding their cash.
The bank said it wanted to boost the monetary base -- the amount of currency in circulation including commercial bank deposits in BoJ reserves -- by 60-70 trillion yen annually to 270 trillion yen by the end of 2014.

Nice product, I have been using this for a couple of years for liver and gall bladder cleanse.
Love it...
Posted by Reviewer3207680 on Apr 30, 2014
I've been using this product for over seven years now... for myself and my teenage children. For myself I use it for any infections and inflammation...for the children the main reason was for Golden Staph infection. My son ended up in hospital the first time he got it then when he got it for the third time I started giving the T&B in fairly high doses...it cleared in two weeks with no medication this time and he hasn't had it again. He would get it when he would fall off his bike or motorbike and graze himself but even though he still falls off he no longer gets the infection... My daughter used it for boils on her knee and after many different other products this one is the one that got rid of it altogether... When they get a cold I give T&B to them and it never lasts for long and doesn't develop into something worse than a cold... So all in all a great product for my family...

I take this product because it was approved by my hematologist as "worth trying" against a bone marrow disease -- AL amyloidosis. Apparently curcumin/turmeric has shown promise against multiple myeloma and similar blood/bone marrow disease. I like the combination with bromelain for better absorption.

Both my wife (MDS) and I (CLL) have bone marrow issues. All indications are that this might help. If it does, I will report back in a few months specifically how it helped. One of the previous reviewers mentioned that his hematologist approved it as "worth a try."

I love the speed of using the quick edit function in the post dashboard. The inline ajax editing really speeds things up. Is it possible to also edit the post content as well or is it limited to just things like date, tags, comment and ping status?
If it's not possible are there any plugins (other than front end editor) that can be used for this?

I say we pull the trigger at #17 with this guy. He would be an instant starter and would give us that ballhawking FS we have been lacking what seems like forever.

A recent high-tech donation from the American Red Cross of Augusta is helping members of the Warrior Transition Battalion.
"They donated two Wiis we are using in occupational therapy," said Lt. Col. Everett Sharpe, WTB commander.
Thanks to a national grant, the American Red Cross of Augusta was able to supply the WTB as well as the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center Active Duty Rehab unit with $7,500 worth of electronics such as the Wii gaming system and flat screen televisions.
Also included in the donation were a variety of board games and a portable CD player.
The items were delivered to Fort Gordon and to the VA on April 27.

I'm currently looking into (image based) backup solutions for Windows (XP, Win7).
One problem I have is that I'm not sure how to verify that the backups can really, actually, reliably be restored without trying to restore it.
So I though I might set up a Virtual Box VM and then boot with the rescue media created by the image based backup tool and restore the image into the VM machine.
Does this make sense? Is it doable?
Note: I know that some tools have the ability to create a VM image/disk directly. That's not what I need. I want to test the actual restore process within a VM.
For me, the most important thing about a backup is that I know that restore will work flawlessly. I only know this if I have done it, and the VM testing solution sounds like a good one.
Update: I tried it and the restore to virtual did work. (After allocating a virtual disk that was larger than the full disk I backed up, not only larger than the used space I backed up.) I have not yet been able to start it (because of GRUB in the MBR), but I should be able to figure this out.
The question I'm asking myself now is: Will it run? Or not? Or what?

Conflicts at Home Mine the Road to Independence
Published: July 4, 1999
(Page 2 of 4)
Savaria Johnson was one of the quietest students, sharing little but her smile. No one would have known her house was a battleground for warring family factions. She recently said she fought with a brother, who fought with an aunt, who summoned the police. Ms. Johnson and her children finally fled, but she ignored her work requirements and lost her welfare benefits.
Even the Academy's most celebrated graduate has faced family conflicts. After landing her first job in years, Michelle Crawford was invited by Wisconsin's Governor, Tommy G. Thompson, to take part in his annual legislative address. Mr. Thompson later acknowledged he had no idea of the conflicts still rocking her home: a jealous sister, a violent husband, a son arrested for selling drugs.
Proud of her caretaking role, Lashanda Washington helped reconstruct her family saga in unusual detail, sharing letters and diaries and approving the release of child welfare records normally kept under court seal. It is a story of incessant worry that still awaits a happy ending.
''My mama is sick real bad,'' she wrote in her diary last month. ''I hate seeing her like that. And I know my mama loves all her kids.''
The Family History
A Trail of Abuse And Liquor Bottles
Linnie Washington lost her mother, too. She grew up in a home with eight children, two violent parents, and a trail of empty liquor bottles. One night her father came home and beat her mother until she agreed to have sex. Then her mother got up and shot him four times as the children looked on. Linnie was 7.
With her mother serving 15 years for murder, she stayed with her grandmother. She began drinking heavily in her teens, gave birth to Lashanda when she was 18 and quickly had four more children. She also got custody of a young nephew, T.J., who was taken from her sister. Social workers thought she would provide a better home, though there was evidence to the contrary.
Linnie's grandmother had warned child welfare officials early on about her abuse of alcohol and drugs. Then left unattended one summer day in 1987, Lashanda's 2-year-old sister fell from a second-story porch and suffered a concussion. Ten months later, it was T.J. who suffered the 15-foot fall. Linnie put him to bed and when she awoke the next morning, the 5-year-old boy was dead. ''I'm scare, cause I might go to jail,'' Linnie wrote in a panicked note summoning a sister. ''Help me wake this boy up.''
In a hostile interview with a social worker afterward, Linnie denied she had an alcohol problem. Then she burst into tears and confessed she simply could not stop drinking. The worker found her ''suffering immensely from guilt and shame.'' The state took her children away.
Lashanda was 9 when she began a harrowing search for a home. She stayed with an aunt until her father finished a sentence for armed robbery. She stayed with her father until he went back to prison, for sexual assault. She went to a foster home in a drug trading zone, and she was held at gunpoint by robbers threatening rape. The attack revived the terror she had felt as a young child during episodes of sexual abuse. She was hospitalized just before her 13th birthday after several suicide attempts.
By the time she was 15, she had climbed out of the abyss and onto the eighth-grade honor roll. A social worker speculated on the key to her growing success: no contact with her mother, sisters or brother. ''Lashanda copes,'' she wrote, ''by isolating herself.''
But Lashanda said good grades never quenched the yearning for her family. ''That's all I ever wanted to do, was to go stay with my mother, be with my sisters again,'' she said. ''I wanted to be like everybody else -- they have their mama.''
She had not seen her mother for years when they collided on the bus. But it took her just two weeks to persuade a court to let her go home. Soon her sister, Tashanda, then 13, ran away from her foster home and joined the reunion. Her mother drank. Her sister fought. Lashanda herself could be quick with her fists. Over the next three years the Washingtons moved five times, chased by landlords, neighbors and the police.
As a 16-year-old family boss, Lashanda worked long shifts at McDonald's to pay the rent, and took a second job at a grocery store. She had a son in the spring of her junior year and left school that fall. Her son's father left her. Her apartment caught fire. She ran through four jobs in eight months. Then she took a step that offended her pride in herself as a worker: She applied for welfare. ''I was depressed,'' she said.
The Welfare Class
Mastering Problems In a 2-Week Course
The ''Academy of Excellence'' is two classrooms on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, in the heart of Milwaukee's welfare district. It is the first stop for people seeking benefits from YW-Works, one of five private agencies hired by the state to run the welfare program in Milwaukee.
Under the state's strict new system, virtually everyone receiving cash assistance must join a work program. Before receiving a work assignment, academy students spend two weeks studying life's basic arts: negotiating with the gas company, avoiding domestic violence, securing birth control.

Where can the line be drawn between an employer's liability and an individual's responsibility to look after themselves?
The case of 25-stone Karsten Kaltoft made supersize headlines when it opened in the ECJ this month. The Danish childminder was sacked for being too overweight to carry out his duties and is claiming unfair dismissal on the grounds of disability discrimination.
The case is ongoing, with judgment expected later this year, and it could open up definitions of disability discrimination across Europe (including the UK) to include obesity. This has understandably raised the blood pressure of the HR and employer community.

I tried to upgrade my RAM memory, but when I opened the computer and tried to put them in, I realized that I have DDR2, and I had bought DDR3. Well, nevermind, I will exchange them, but here is the problem: When I put my old memory back into my computer and tied to turn it on, I just hear strange beeps and nothing is happening on the screen.
What I tried so far:
- changed my 2 old RAM sticks over every slot;
- unplugged all power and wires and tried again;
- unplugged all power and wires and removed RAM and removed battery from motherboard for a few minutes and pressed power button few times and then put back battery and tried again;
- blew the dust from RAM sticks and from motherboard;
- checked if the motherboard is burned.
- tried to put sticks inside by pressing left side first and then right one; also did the opposite; tried pressing both sides in at same the time as well.
I don't know what else to do.

WARWICK, R.I. -- Three Warwick high school students were injured Wednesday morning when their bus was hit by a car, school officials said.
Toll Gate High School Principal Stephen Chrabaszcz said the bus was on Elisha Street, turning onto Plymouth Street, when a driver turning left from Plymouth onto Elisha street failed to stop and rammed into the bus. The bus driver, Chrabaszcz said, alerted the students of the impending crash.
The accident, the police said, happened at 6:55 a.m. An accident report was not available, the police said, noting that the investigation continues.
Chrabaszcz, summoned to the scene by the police, said there appeared to be no injuries. The bus had to be towed, he said, and a second bus was called to take the students to school, where they were examined by the school nurse as a precaution and parents were notified of the crash.
As the day wore on, however, three of the students complained of sore backs, and their parents were called.

CHICAGO -- Nikolai Khabibulin made 26 saves, and Dustin Byfuglien, Dave Bolland and Martin Havlat scored to help the Chicago Blackhawks snap a two-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Nashville Predators on Sunday night.
Chicago, 13-2-4 at home and 13-1-4 at the United Center, rebounded after dropping the opener of the home-and-home series 4-1 in Nashville on Saturday night.
Khabibulin was sharp, but wasn't forced to make many tough saves, in improving to 13-3-4. Martin Erat scored for the Predators, who won their previous two games, both at home.
Nashville's Dan Ellis made 30 saves.
Byfuglien opened the scoring with a power-play goal 9:11 into the first period. He skated from the left boards, turned and ripped a rising, screened shot from the circle that beat Ellis high on the glove side.
Ellis stopped Bolland on a breakaway with a left pad save midway through the third. A couple of minutes later, Havlat hit the post, then Ellis made a close-in stop on Ladd.
Ducks 4, Devils 3
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Chris Kunitz scored twice in the third period to help the Anaheim Ducks beat the New Jersey Devils.
With the game tied at 2, Kunitz wrapped around the New Jersey goal and tucked the puck under goalie Scott Clemmensen's pads 1:36 into the third.
Kunitz also sent a wrist shot past Clemmensen with 3:33 to play for the eventual winner. Zach Parise drew the Devils within one in the final minute with his 24th goal.
Oilers 2, Blues 1
EDMONTON, Alberta -- Dwayne Roloson made 21 saves, and Sam Gagner scored the winning goal and also had an assist in the Edmonton Oilers' 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Sunday night.
Gilbert Brule also scored, and former University of Minnesota star Ryan Potulny had two assists in his first game for the Oilers.
Yan Stastny scored for St. Louis.
Erat tied it on a tip-in just under 2 minutes later. Although Erat seemed to be covered by Chicago's Brent Seabrook, he managed to deflect in Jordan Tootoo's pinpoint pass across the front of the crease.
Bolland scored at 5:58 of the second to give Chicago a 2-1 lead. Following Ellis' pad save on Andrew Ladd's shot from the slot, Bolland tucked in the rebound.
Ellis stopped Bolland on a breakaway with a left pad save midway through the third. A couple of minutes later, Havlat hit the post, then Ellis made a close-in stop on Ladd.
Khabibulin had to be alert on several Nashville chances -- mostly from sharp angles or longer range -- in the third. He quickly covered up rebounds or they were picked up by his teammates.
Havlat added an empty-net goal with 10 seconds left in the third.
Notes: Predators C Jason Arnott sat out with a lower-body injury, suffered in the second period Saturday against the Blackhawks in Nashville. Predators C Steve Sullivan, who played for the first time in nearly two years Saturday following two back surgeries, didn't play Sunday. The rest was planned and Sullivan is expected to play Tuesday night in Toronto. Nashville D Greg de Vries missed his third game due to illness. ... Chicago RW Troy Brouwer and D Aaron Johnson were healthy scratches. ... The crowd of 21,666 was Chicago's 19th sellout in 19 home games this season.

Jackson Hole Guide: Investors Seek Yellen Job-Market View
Here's what to look for from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's annual economic symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, which runs Aug. 21-23.
-- Yellen's keynote: The highlight will be Fed Chair Janet Yellen's speech Aug. 22 on labor markets at 10 a.m. New York time. She'll probably reiterate the Fed's view that there is plenty of room for improvement in the labor market, according to Dean Maki, chief U.S. economist at Barclays Plc in New York.
-- In July, the Federal Open Market Committee changed the language of its policy statement to highlight "significant underutilization of labor resources" as a justification for continued easy-money policies, even though the unemployment rate has fallen faster than Fed officials had forecast. The Fed chief will probably "point to measures like the elevated number of workers that are employed part time for economic reasons as evidence" of continued slack, Maki said.
-- Yellen "would like to move away from this being a market-moving policy speech and get it back to being more of an academic exercise," said Michelle Girard, chief U.S. economist at RBS Securities Inc. in Stamford, Connecticut. "I don't think that she will use this as a tool to signal anything in terms of the Fed's thinking, or certainly any meaningful change in the Fed's thinking."
-- Wage focus: Tepid growth in wages is one area Yellen could choose to explore in more detail if she wants to advance the conversation, said Ethan Harris, co-head of global economics research at Bank of America Corp. in New York.
Stagnant Wages
-- Average hourly earnings rose 2 percent in July from the year before, matching the mean increase over the past five years and down from 3.1 percent in the year ended December 2007, Labor Department data showed in the latest employment report. Separately, the employment cost index, a measure of labor cost changes, advanced 2 percent in June from the previous year.
-- "A more careful look at wages would be a good place for her to plow some new ground," Harris said. "They are way too weak, no sign of improvement, and if you're going to defend why the Fed is going so slowly here, that's your exhibit A: slow wage growth."
-- Conference participants will be mostly academics and central bankers; economists from major Wall Street banks weren't invited this year.
-- Draghi's outlook: European Central Bank President Mario Draghi will follow Yellen with the keynote luncheon address. Investors will be seeking further insights into how weak his 18-nation economy is and whether he's more likely to deploy Fed-style quantitative easing that the ECB has resisted.
Europe Stalls
-- The euro area unexpectedly stalled in the second quarter as its three biggest economies failed to grow, adding to the region's deflation risks. Draghi already committed this month to intensifying the unprecedented stimulus he unveiled in June if the outlook deteriorates.
-- Draghi's challenge may be compounded if Yellen remains focused on boosting the U.S. labor market, according to Alberto Gallo, head of macro credit research at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc in London. That's because her bias toward continued stimulus will keep the dollar weak against the euro.
-- Draghi "has tried to push down the euro and has so far won little ground against the dollar," Gallo said. "The ECB is under even more pressure to do more."
-- Structural woes: Panel discussions on labor-market research presented at the conference may reveal "a growing awareness that underutilized labor resources may be a more permanent fixture," rather than a cyclical shift, said Eric Green, global head of foreign exchange and rates at TD Securities USA LLC in New York.
'Hawkish' Tone
-- "The conference itself is going to create an aura of hawkishness," Bank of America's Harris said. "Because it's an opportunity for critics of the Fed to speak out, the audience tends to have a hawkish bias at Jackson Hole, and we've seen that repeatedly in the past. It is the Kansas City Fed, after all, and they themselves are big critics of the Fed's policy."
-- Esther George, president of the Kansas City Fed, dissented on seven FOMC policy votes last year, carrying on the tradition of her predecessor Thomas Hoenig, whose eight straight dissents tied a record for the most in a single year.
-- Global divergence: Since the financial crisis of 2008, the Jackson Hole meetings have been marked by unanimity among central banks eager to discuss their efforts to stimulate their economies. The united front may soon splinter as Yellen's Fed draws quantitative easing to an end, while the Bank of England under Governor Mark Carney is already discussing the timeframe to raise interest rates in the U.K.
-- By contrast, the ECB and Bank of Japan are considering added stimulus to counter weak inflation. The divergence is "likely to remain a key theme for many quarters," said Kit Juckes, global strategist at Societe Generale SA.

When the grade distribution within a course shifts towards higher grades, it may be due to grade inflation or grade improvement. If the positive shift is accompanied by an increase in achievement or learning, it should be considered grade improvement, not grade inflation. Effective learning-centered teaching is designed to promote student learning due to increased responsibility for learning, engagement with course material, and opportunity for formative assessments prior to summative assessments of course learning outcomes, which leads to improved grades. We suggest ways that faculty members practicing learning-centered teaching can collect and analyze data to support increased learning and grade improvement.

A Northern Texas man, Aron Embry, recently created buzz when he claimed that his newly bought Motorola Droid 2 exploded in his ear while he was in mid-conversation, thus leaving him injured.
Boynton Beach, Fla. -- Police in Florida said a man allegedly invented a story about a carjacking because he couldn't remember where he had parked his car.
Boynton Beach police said they were approached by Craig Alberstat, 46, of Delray Beach, at about 2:20 a.m. Nov. 19 and he told them he had stopped while driving his 2003 Volkswagen Jetta to talk to a "cute girl on the street," the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Thursday.
Police said Alberstat told them he was then approached by four robbers who assaulted him and took the vehicle.
However, investigators said they soon determined Alberstat had invented the tale and he admitted to officers he had forgotten what he did with his car after using Xanax.
Ocala, Fla. -- A 75-year-old Florida woman said she used Facebook to discover a man claiming to be her grandson and asking for money was actually a scammer.
Dolores Langley, 75, of Ocala, said she received a call from a man who claimed to be her grandson and told her he has been arrested in Canada with 2 ounces of marijuana in his vehicle, the Ocala Star-Banner reported Thursday.
Langley said she spoke with a second man who claimed to be a Canadian police officer and told her she would need to send a $5,050 money gram through Walmart to post bail.
However, Langley said the man sent up a "big red flag" when he told her to send the money to Haiti.
Huntington, W.Va. -- Authorities in West Virginia said a man and a woman were arrested after allegedly stealing a motorized cart from Wal-Mart and taking it to a strip club.
Cabell County sheriff's deputies said Jonathan Lee Misner, 34, and Billie Jo Stevenson, 36, both of Huntington, were arrested in the early hours Monday and charged with grand larceny and public intoxication, The Herald-Dispatch, Huntington, reported Wednesday.
Seattle -- A man allegedly caught walking into a Seattle courthouse with a small amount of marijuana is demanding it back.
John Worthington of Renton, Wash., representing himself, is not denying possession or even invoking his medical marijuana card, Seattlepi.com reported.
Citing a state Board of Pharmacy decision that pot has medicinal value, he asserted Tuesday that it was an "herbal substance," not a drug, and therefore does not fall under laws regulating illegal narcotics.
Worthington was passing through security on his way to the King County Courthouse's law library Oct. 14 when he allegedly placed an old baggy of pot tucked in his jacket in a security tray, the report said.
Washington, Pa. -- Police in Pennsylvania said they are waiting to discover whether a man found to have swallowed two stolen rings also swallowed a pair of bracelets.
North Strabane Township police said three rings -- two ingested -- were recovered from Robert Spriggs, 53, after he allegedly stole them Saturday from his 81-year-old mother and he is now being observed at Washington County Jail to see if he swallowed any other jewelry, the Washington (Pa.) Observer-Reporter reported Wednesday.
"It is possible he may have ingested more than what we know," township police Lt. Dan Levi said. "Two tennis bracelets are also missing. We are in a holding pattern."
Police said Spriggs' cell at the jail does not have a flushable toilet.
Gotland, Sweden -- A Swedish court has acquitted a man videotaped biting a live mouse's head off because the action was "repulsive, but not criminal."
The Gotland court said the 23-year-old man's actions were "not criminal," as the mouse's death was quick and there was no evidence to suggest the man intended to cause undue suffering to the rodent, the Swedish news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyra reported Wednesday.
The April incident, which resulted in animal cruelty charges, was recorded on a cellphone camera.
Prosecutor Anna Beckman said she plans to appeal the decision.

Jackson, Mich. -- A Michigan priest said a man wearing priestly vestments stole $3,6000 in a collection plate after he had asked the priest for money and showed identification.
The Rev. Bob Pienta of St. John Catholic Church in Jackson said a man used vestments from the church as a disguise during a Saturday mass and took the collection plate from the front of the church before walking out the door, The Jackson Citizen-Patriot reported Tuesday.
Pienta said members of the congregation described the man to him and he realized it was the same man who had asked him for money prior to the service. He said the man had showed him his ID and the pastor gave the information to police.
Naples, Fla. -- Police in Florida said a man who slammed his car into a bank believed the government was after him for posting YouTube videos about the banking system.
Naples police said Phil Nguyen, 24, of Fort Myers, crashed his green Honda into the front of a Comerica Bank at about 10:30 p.m. Saturday and the car came to rest about 20 to 30 feet into the building, the Naples Daily Post reported Tuesday.
Police said Nguyen told officers and firefighters he crashed into the building then backed his car up and crashed a second time to increase the damage.
Investigators said Nguyen believed he was being targeted by the CIA for criticizing the U.S. banking system in a series of YouTube videos.
West Pawlet, Vt. -- Vermont police say a man who told them he'd been stabbed Halloween night by someone dressed in a gorilla costume admitted to fabricating the claim.
Donald Gould, 22, of West Pawlet, Vt., called police Halloween night to say he answered a knock on his door and was stabbed by a person wearing a dark-colored gorilla costume, the (Glens Falls, N.Y.) Post-Star reported Sunday.
Gould suffered a minor puncture wound in his arm and was taken to Glens Falls Hospital, just over the state line in New York, treated and released.
Vermont State Police said after questioning numerous potential suspects and interviewing Gould several more times, Gould admitted he made up the claim.

Medal record
Steven Holcomb (born April 14, 1980 in Park City, Utah) is an American bobsledder who has competed since 1998.[1][2] At the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, he won the 4-man bobsled event for the United States, its first gold medal in that event since 1948.[3] At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, he finished sixth in the four-man event and 14th in the two-man event.[4][5]
Early career[edit]
Holcomb was an alpine skier for twelve years. At the Utah Olympic Park for the 2002 Winter Olympics he then served as a bobsled forerunner, someone who tests the bobsled course prior to competition. Though Holcomb was not competing, the experience did allow him time on an Olympic course in front of fans.
After leaving the military with an honorable discharge in June 2006, Holcomb began to compete on the World Cup circuit. Starting with the 2004–05 season, Holcomb consistently was the second and third ranked American driver. In the 2006–2007 season Holcomb (with team members Jovanovic and Kreitzburg) won the two-man World Cup Championship, while his four-man team (with Jovanovic, Kreitzburg, and Mesler) finished second. As Holcomb rose through the ranks of American bobsledders however, a degenerative eye condition, initially diagnosed in 2002, began to affect his daily life and competitive skills. A non-invasive surgical procedure, C3-R, provided a measure of correction during the 2007–08 season, allowing him to earn three gold, three silver, and one bronze medals.
Holcomb and his two-man and four-man teams took home 2 golds, 3 silvers and 2 bronzes and then won the first World Championship in four-man bobsled since 1959. Additionally, he piloted his two-man sled to a bronze medal.
In Vancouver, Holcomb finished 2nd in his four-man sled in the only World Cup race at the newly finished Whistler track. Holcomb and his Night Train (4-man)/Night Hawk (2-man) are competing on the FIBT World Cup circuit. In the first three tour stops to date, his squad with teammates Steve Mesler, Justin Olsen and Curt Tomasevicz has won gold in the 4-man at Lake Placid & Cesana (Torino 2006 Olympic track) and silver in the 4-Man at Lake Placid and bronze in Cesana.
Holcomb won four medals at the FIBT World Championships: a gold (four-man: 2009) and three bronzes (two-man: 2009, mixed team: 2008, 2009). He also won the 2007 Two-man World Cup title,[6] won the 2007 combined World Cup title,[7] and finished second in the 2007 Four-Man World Cup standings.[8] He became the first American man to win the Two-Man World Cup title. Holcomb also won the 2007 and 2010 Combined World Cup titles, and the 2010 4-Man World Cup title.
It was announced on 17 January 2010 that Holcomb made the US team in both the two-man and four-man events for the 2010 Winter Olympics. On February 17, Holcomb led the four-man US bobsled team to a gold-medal victory, ending a 62-year gold medal drought in US Olympic four-man bobsled competition.
Holcomb qualified for the 2014 Sochi Olympics in both the two-man and four-man bobsled. On February 16, Holcomb and brakeman Steve Langton won the bronze medal in the two-man competition, ending yet another 62-year medal drought in US Olympic two-man competition.[9]
Military service[edit]
Holcomb served as a soldier in the Utah Army National Guard for seven years,[10] from March 1999 until July 2006. During his Army National Guard service, he served as a combat engineer in the 1457th Engineering Battalion. He took part in the Army World Class Athlete Program (WCAP) for seven years. At the end of 2006, he received an Honorable Discharge from service. While in the National Guard, he earned the following Medals: Army Achievement Medal; Army Commendation Medal; Good Conduct Medal; Army Presidential Unit Citation; Army Superior Unit Award; Army Service Ribbon.
Holcomb attended The Winter Sports School in Park City, graduating in 1997. Holcomb is working on his bachelor's degree at DeVry University in computer science. His projected graduation date is 2016.
Scouting career[edit]
Steven attained the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America (BSA).[11]

I see Carragher. Saying in his opinion, for England players, playing for England isn't that important.isn't national pride a great thing to have!What a role model he is!
If he had opted not to play for the South England national team he may have had more pride maybe? Who knows!
The first time there is no Liverpool player in the team and you pull that out of the bag!there would have probably been a few Man Utd players in there, Ferdinand, Neville, Carrick, Hargreaves if it wasn't for injuries or gaining match fitness.Rooney was already in, not really a southern team was it

Always, fresh coldcuts and remember to bring your coupons for a good deal. Have used Lenny's to fix a platter for a party by purchasing several subs and having them cut in to quarters and I arrange them on my own tray.
Tried this sandwich shop after reading reviews but was not really impressed, it's just a plain sandwich shop.
I can say that it was clean and the employees were friendly. As for the cold sandwich it was on homemade bread and the meat was sliced on the spot but it was kind of just a bland plain sandwich.
I have tried several of the sandwiches at Lenny's, but my favorite is the Chicken Philly. Great hot sandwich. Food is fresh, location is clean and service is good!
This Lenny's is pretty good (about what you expect from Lenny's). I do not find their value for your money too good, so I don't go there much. When I do go, the food is good and service is great. If you like Lenny's, then this is a good one to go to.
I love Lenny's this shop is in a strip mall kind of tucked away. The subs are generally fresh, and they slice the meat when you order it. They will make it to order for you like most sub shops. Ask for the spicy pepper sauce. Remember to get the delicious cookies.
Subs and cheesesteaks made to order! Great chips. Very friendly service.

Hizuni...gone. gone. gone. gone. Not here anymore. Gone for good. Failed her. Failed her. Failed her. Failed her again.
A smirking face. Hatred. Recoil. Anger.
Smirking man...Killed Hizuni. Took away our family again. So long...So long we have waited to fight him...to avenge. Will not die. WILL NOT DIE!
Kai's body slowly rose to it's feet and stood straight up as the pendant on his wrist flashed silently.
Not enough magic. Not enough power. Berserker. Not enough power. Not enough. Need more then Berserker. Need something even stronger. Something free of restraint.
Something darker.
Kai screamed in anger as his body changed into his Berserker form and then...contined to change. His pendant slowly and painfully merged with his arm and a fresh surge of power surged through him.
Kill him...Kill him. Kill him...Kill him...Kill him...Kill him
His teeth began to sharpen in his mouth and his hair shot down past his waist as his eyes turned a solid black. They were devoid of reason...of compassion...of human intelligence.
His muscles expanded to nearly seven times their normal mass as he continued to change.
The mage slowly looked behind him and stared in shock as a dark wave of magical energy surrounded him.
This power...it's off the scale. He absorbed the pendant and is leeching even more energy from it. His magical reserves have increased by nearly ten percent.
The wave of magic slowly retreated and the now completley transformed Kai stepped forward with an animalistic growl. His eyes blazed with hatred as he stared at the mage.
Killllll him. Killlll him. Killl him.
The mage's pendant pulsed. "Vortex cannon." "Vortex cannon ready." "Fire!"
The red blast of energy hit Kai who was blasted back into a building. He sat there for a moment before slowly standing up and grinning a feral grin that sent shivers down the spine of the mage.
"Kill you."

I have been using your plugin for a bit now and seemed to have noticed that the custom roles, when created, aren't working completely as they should. The latest example is I have Gravity Forms to display and it is not displaying under the Custom Role that I have created. I've had other similar issues in the past with Custom Roles to the point where I just use the Admin Role and adjust the user under the admin role. Ideally I would like to use the custom role...Is this possible?
Thanks in advance, great plugin, too.

Manage Your Child Labor with Ruby
There's a fine Unix tradition of "fork servers" — servers that create new child processes and farm work out to them. Ruby can do this too, of course. A forked process is generally referred to as a "child process," and you're forking them to do work.
"Child Labor," and other things we don't usually say about fork servers.
Naturally, I'll tell you how to do it! By the end of the article, perhaps you'll have thought about when you want to.
Basic Mechanics
Ruby has a "fork" call and it's straightforward to call it with a block:
puts "Before fork!" fork do puts "This is printed by the child process!" exit! # Always call exit! when finishing a child process in Ruby end puts "This is only printed by the parent process!"
This is nice and simple. Calling fork! spawns a child, and the child can do work (or not — this one just prints and exits).
The "exit!" call above is to make sure that any at_exit handlers are only called by the parent, not the child — you don't care here, but you should still get in the habit. When calling fork, make sure the child finishes with at_exit! Your unit tests will thank you, eventually.
In this case, I'll assume you have a fair number of child processes working. One of our processes has almost 30 workers for one of its tasks, for instance.
Photo credit: Library of Congress, LC-DIG-nclc-01379, Lewis Wickes Hine, 1918
Doing Work
Sometimes you just fork and already know what to do. For instance, in one OnLive server we fork a child process for each availability zone we connect to — fourteen zones, fourteen children that each connect to a zone-specific server. Easy peasy.
But sometimes you want the parent to handle incoming requests — like Unicorn, a fork server that handles HTTP requests. When that happens, you usually want to open a unix pipe between the parent and child. The child can handle its current request, then read the next one from the pipe. The parent can accept incoming requests and then tell each child, via one pipe per child, to handle them.
Full details of using Unix pipes are beyond the scope of this article, but rest assured — they work fine in Ruby, just like in C.
Handling Shutdown
Of course, it's a little hard to shut down a process with a lot of children. You don't want to have to kill every process. You can kill the whole process group (kill dash nine, baby!)… But it would also be nice if it behaved properly when you send a SIGTERM. Here's one way to do that in Ruby:
Signal.trap("TERM") do child_processes.each { |process| `kill -TERM #{process[:pid]}` } shutdown() end
Basically, if you get a SIGTERM (a "terminate process" request), pass it on to all your children and shut down.
Photo by Mike Krzeszak on Flickr
Dead and Zombie Children
Sometimes, processes shut down for more-or-less random reasons. Your script may not be perfect. Your network connectivity might not be perfect. Somebody else might have hogged all the RAM on the machine.
In a real-world scenario, you should assume that children can die.
When they do, you may want to restart them.
To do that, watch for SIGCHLD:
pid, status = Process.waitpid2 0, Process::WNOHANG # Did any child die?
This little incantation should be called from the parent process and it checks: has any child died? You can remove the Process::WNOHANG parameter if you want to wait around until a child dies. You can switch the "0" to a specific child's pid if you want to wait for one worker in particular.
When a child dies, you probably want to restart it. Or maybe shut everything down and exit, like SIGTERM above. It's up to you!
Note that if you don't watch for SIGCHLD (or detach the process), you'll get zombie processes. Those are processes that finished already but are just waiting to return their status to a parent.

Fork benefits greatly from sharing memory — most of a parent's state can be shared with all children, as long as it doesn't change. So make sure to preload anything that most children will need.
But garbage collection can move things around, spoiling the benefits. You can improve the situation by using Ruby 2.0 or later, which has more copy-on-write-friendly garbage collection. Or you can just kill each child every twenty-or-so requests and let the parent restart it — then it will restart with a nice clean copy of the current parent state.
This only gets you better memory usage, though, so only do it if you need to optimize that.
Memory Use
If you're worried about runaway memory use, you'll want to limit memory explicitly. And if you're using ActiveRecord or anything similar, you should be worried about runaway memory use.
Luckily, you can limit the memory use in the child process right after fork:
Process.setrlimit :RSS, 10_000_000 # This sets resident set maximum to 10MB
You can separately limit the stack, the heap (also known as "sbrk" for these purposes) and the resident set — limit any or all of them in any child, the parent or both.
Why Not Use Another Process Manager?
This seems like a lot of stuff. And if it's process management, can't you use an existing process manager?
Some do exist: daemontools, God, BluePill and Monit, for instance.
Unfortunately, God, Bluepill and Monit require being root — most fork servers shouldn't run as root, just as Unicorn doesn't. Daemontools wants a directory per process set up and it's sometimes hard to spin up new ones dynamically — which can be fine or not-fine, depending.
I think it wound be wonderful to have a library for this purpose. But the existing contenders are clearly designed with a different use case in mind.
Again, the case of Unicorn is instructive. You could imagine it running with one of these as a manager, but instead they wrote their own process management. So did Passenger. I co-wrote something similar for integration testing.
Some day we may have a great library for this, but that day isn't here yet.

End Child Labor?
This article has a lot of small, tactical recommendations. If I were to give you a final strategic recommendation, it would be this:
Fork servers are great when you're looking at cases where processes can fail. Prototyping is a case Ruby is good for, and often failure comes with the territory. Learn to write a fork server in Ruby, and especially learn all the ways it can fail and how to handle them!
