At a remote forward operating base in Afghanistan, a small team of medical officers, surgeons, nurses and corpsman stand in harm's way, always at the ready to save the lives of our frontline troops
They live as close to the action as possible. It's a life of hurry up and wait. But with few luxuries available in a combat zone, they pass the time sitting on tires, playing cards and eating MRE's.
True to our mission, the USO recently provided much needed furniture, toiletries, energy drinks and entertainment to lift the spirits of the 629th Forward Surgical Team at FOB Orgun-E, on the eastern border of Afghanistan. The unit received a USO2GO shipment which included coffee makers, video games, bean bag chairs and more, bringing them a much-needed touch of home.
"We can't thank the USO enough," said Army Capt. Phyllis Thieken of the 629th FST. "We are a team of medics, doctors, CRNAs [Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists] and nurses who are devoted to taking care of the wounded, and it makes me feel good to know that with the help of the USO, we are able to help other soldiers here on the FOB."
The medical team is using the care package to further pay it forward to Special Operators passing through their base.
"Some come here just to get a shower after being out on missions," she added. "By supplying simple packets of Gatorade to these guys who have been eating MREs, we get such a good feeling. Their faces light up over Gatorade!"
"Little things like furniture—comfortable places to sit—are often taken for granted out here. Most every piece of furniture is hand built from scrap wood and sleeping mats. Outside we were sitting on tires, so with the folding chairs and bean-bag chairs you gave us, we're now able to actually sit and be comfortable, especially when we have meetings or training as a group. It's made a huge difference in our everyday lives."
Right now the unit is engaged in a fierce Call of Duty tournament on the X-Box 360. The combat shooter has been a constant source of rivalry within the unit and gives them something to look forward to each day.
"That X-Box is hands down the most coveted piece of equipment in that box," said Thieken. "If that thing broke we would have a riot on our hands. It's our number one source of entertainment, and it really helps us pass the time." - Joseph Andrew Lee, USO Staff Writer [slideshow]

Penny (The Rescuers)
this wiki
Penny is the tritagonist from Disney's 1977 film The Rescuers, serving as the representation that anyone's dreams can come true if one has enough faith. She is regarded as one of Disney's bravest characters.
Penny is a cute, but shy little girl, but is gutsy and very brave, especially when she stood up to Medusa's crocodiles and Medusa herself while held at gunpoint. She desires to go back to the orphanage so that she can be adopted and gain a family but is very insecure about not being liked by any of the families.
Physical appearance
Penny has short blonde hair in pigtails, black eyes, and fair skin. She wears a white polo shirt, blue overall skirt, lavender tights, and brown Mary Jane shoes during the day, a yellow nightgown at night, and when she's adopted she wears a pink hooded winter coat, light pink scarf, and dark pink snow galoshes over her regular clothes.
Role in the film
Little is known about Penny's backstory. However, it is known that she was left at Morningside Orphanage in New York City, when she was still young. Since then, she had desperately sought adoption. One afternoon, Rufus, the orphanage's elderly cat, saw her sitting sadly on her bedside at the orphanage, and asked her what was wrong. Penny denied any problem, but when Rufus urged her, she then told him in person that it was adoption day at the orphanage, and that a man and woman looked at her, but adopted a little redheaded girl instead. A heartbroken Penny believes that the redhead was more beautiful than herself. Rufus comforts the girl and tells her to have faith through the poem, "Faith is a Bluebird." Penny feels better and shows her appreciation by giving Rufus some gingersnap cookies (the same two extra ones she had taken for lunch which she was not supposed to do). Penny then hugs and pets Rufus and carries him downstairs for supper.
Soon after that, the evil treasure huntress Madame Medusa needs a child to fetch a certain diamond hidden within a hole too narrow for adults to fit down. She thus kidnaps Penny to fetch the diamond for her; Rufus says that Medusa offered to give Penny a ride in her car. For weeks afterward, the police searched for the girl, but had no success in finding her and eventually gave up the search, believing that she must have runaway.
As mentioned by Ellie Mae and Medusa, Penny has tried to escape several times. Every time Penny attempts to escape, she is caught by Medusa's crocodiles, Brutus and Nero.
When a message in a bottle from Penny finally arrives in New York Harbor, some hobo mice discover it and send it to the Rescue Aid Society of mice. Miss Bianca and her co-agent Bernard read the message and soon find out that Penny is being held in Devil's Bayou. The two mice set out in search of the girl to rescue her.
With the help of Orville, the albatross, the mice soon arrive at the bayou. Meanwhile Penny attempts another escape, but she is recaptured again by Medusa's crocodiles Brutus and Nero. She shows no fear of the two, even going so far as to threaten Nero should he get her Teddy bear wet. Brutus carries Penny upside down by the bottom of her panties when they came back to the riverboat. Mr. Snoops taunts Penny for her failed escape. Penny bravely orders Brutus to put her down while swinging her arms at him. Brutus smugingly drops her to floor where she lands on her head. For holding upside down and dropping her like that, she calls him a "freaky little dragon." Mr. Snoops scolds Penny for running away. He threatens to feed Teddy to Brutus and Nero if she doesn't behave, but Penny retorts that he's too scared of the crocodiles to do so. Mr. Snoops sends Penny to her room for sassing him.
Later in the night, Penny is called in by Medusa after putting her nightgown on. Medusa tells her that she is willing to let bygones be bygones if she can find the Devil's Eye. Penny tells her that she is trying her best and asks Medusa if she'll take her back to Morningside Orphanage as she promised. Medusa then asks why she would want to leave, and Penny tells her that if she doesn't go back, she'll never be adopted. Medusa then says that no one would want "a homely little girl like her." This brings Penny to tears (one of which she pours on her Teddy to make it look like he's crying). With her spirit shattered, Penny then goes up to the deck of the boat and looks out to the bayou, still in tears. While the song "Someone's Waiting For You" plays, Penny looks out to the night sky where she sees deer eating and a star glowing brightly. This sight puts a smile on Penny's face, signifying that she should keep her hopes as bright as the star. She goes back into her room and prays that someone finds her bottle because "running away isn't working" then starts to cry again. By this time, Bernard and Miss Bianca have arrived, perched on Penny's pillow. They talk to Penny in person for the first time ever and explain why they're there. Penny is delighted to hear they found her bottle, then asks if they brought the police with them. The mice tell her if they work together and have faith, things will turn out right; just as Rufus told her in the orphanage. Penny and the mice come up with a plan to escape: they will trap Brutus and Nero in the old elevator (which resembles a cage), distract Medusa by setting off Mr. Snoop's fireworks in her bedroom and then steal her swampmobile to run away.
The next morning, Medusa and Mr. Snoops drag Penny to the underground cave (aka the black hole) to make her search for the diamond. Penny says she won't do it because Teddy doesn't like going down there (most likely referring to herself too). Medusa grabs Teddy out of her arms and holds him hostage. Penny tries to grab him back. Medusa pushes Penny up against the cave's wall and orders her to look for the diamond or she'll never see Teddy again. Penny immediately climbs into the bucket and Mr. Snoops lowers her down. Luckily, Bernard and Miss Bianca hide in her dress pocket to help her. Once they hit the bottom, Penny tells the mice it used to be a pirate's cave by showing them a skeleton of a pirate with a sword. She also shows them the hole where the tide comes in and admits she's afraid to go over there. Bernard and Miss Bianca investigate while Penny holds the lantern for them on the other side. They find the Devil's Eye trapped in a human skull, but can't get it out because it's too big. Soon the cave starts to fill up with water and Penny begs Medusa to pull her back up, but Medusa refuses until she gets the diamond. Penny grabs the pirate sword and successfully uses it to pry open the skull's mouth to get the Devil's Eye. Penny saves Bernard and Miss Bianca from drowning in a whirlpool, climbs back into the bucket and is pulled out. Medusa and Mr. Snoops argue over the Devil's Eye while Brutus carries Penny to the riverboat upside down by her panties again. Again, Penny orders Brutus to put her down, but Brutus ignores her that time and continues carrying her back.
Medusa intends to take the diamond for herself and threatens to shoot Penny and Snoops if they follow her. However, thanks to the assistance of Ellie May and the rest of the swamp gang, Penny makes it to the swampmobile with Teddy and the Devil's Eye. The swamp gang set off the fireworks and trap Brutus and Nero according to plan while Penny starts the vehicle. Penny manages to speed away with everyone in tow despite some resistance from Medusa.
After making it back to New York, Penny turns the Devil's Eye over to the Smithsonian Institute. The news covers not only this, but Penny being adopted by her new mother and father soon after. As Bernard and Bianca watch the broadcast, Penny happily waves and greets them from the TV much to the bewilderment of the reporter.
- Originally, the Disney animators were considering using the story of Bernard and Miss Bianca setting out to rescue an old poet from a prison in Norway, which was taken from Margery Sharp's first novel. This idea was scrapped, however, since the poet lacked personality. It was then that Penny was created, instead.
- Penny herself was inspired by Patience, the orphan girl in Margery Sharp's 2nd novel Miss Bianca. Patience, too, is centered with the theme of a diamond, in her case, many, which she is forced to polish every day. Patience is also key to the book's heartwarming atmosphere.
- Originally, the 1988 film Oliver & Company was to have starred Penny, now living with her new adoptive parents. However, due to concerns that the story wasn't convincing enough, a similar girl Jenny was created in her place.
- She is the second Disney heroine to be seen praying, after Snow White.
- The book belonging to Penny that Bernard and Bianca found in Medusa's Pawn Shop reads on the cover First Grade Reader. This implies that Penny may be six or seven years old.
- She would have to be 6 or 7 at the oldest as she is the basis for Jenny who is 7, going on 8.
- Penny's teddy bear has the appearance of Winnie-the-Pooh.
- Penny's looks and personality are based on her voice actress Michelle Stacy.
- Penny's role is similar to that of another female lead in a non-Disney movie, Robyn Starling in Tom & Jerry: The Movie and Anne-Marie in All Dogs Go to Heaven. All three were being held prisoner by the film's main antagonist and want a loving family, they also meet, and were rescued by the the film's main animal characters near the end.
- Penny's successful capture by Brutus and Nero was similar to Mowgli's by the monkeys. Both are hung upside down (Brutus holds Penny with her underwear in his mouth; the monkeys hold Mowgli by his feet and legs) and demand "Put me down," getting dropped harshly. The scene where Penny runs away is also identical to a scene where Mowgli runs away.
- Fans have paired Penny with Cody from the sequel, The Rescuers Down Under, as a couple despite the two having never met officially.
- Despite their different age, Penny and Cinderella have some similarites.
- Both are orphans.
- Both are in a certain type of servitude for the main villainess/antagonist. Cinderella is forced to do chores for Lady Tremaine while Penny is forced to go into the Black Hole to get the Devil's Eye diamond for Madame Medusa.
- Both have been psychologically abused by the main villainess/antagonist at least one point in the film.
- Both have been somewhat foiled by the villainess's/antagonist's beloved and male pets (Lucifer the cat, Brutus and Nero the crocodiles).
- Both lose hope and break down crying when they believe their dreams are broken. Then both are hopeful in their dreams again, after they are cheered up, and listen to their friends who appear to them out of nowhere.(the Fairy Godmother, and Bianca and Bernard)
- Both are rescued by heroic mice duos (Jaq and Gus, Bernard and Miss Bianca) and a band of other small animals as well (mice and birds, swamp folks).
- Both their dreams finally come true in the end.
- On a minor note, both are seen wearing pigtail-type hairstyles. Penny is constantly seen wearing pigtails, while Cinderella wears braided pigtails during her sleep.
- Penny and Aladdin also have some similarities.
- Penny and Aladdin were both forced by a villain (the main antagonist) to go into a cave to retrieve something he or she desires. Madame Medusa wanted Penny to go into the cave to get the diamond, the Devil's Eye. Jafar wanted Aladdin to go into the Cave of Wonders to get the lamp.
- There was a reason why the heroes were chosen by the villains to retrieve their treasure. Penny is small enough to fit in the cave to get the Devil's Eye. Aladdin, the diamond in the rough, is the only person worthy enough to enter the Cave of Wonders to get the lamp.
- Both are orphans dreaming of a better life.
- Both are denied any savings from the villain until they get their treasure.
- Both nearly die trying to get the treasure from the dangerous cave.
- Both have Glen Keane as their supervising animator.
- Penny may have some similarities with more Disney characters.
- Penny and Alice:
- They both meet many new friends along their journeys
- Their appearances may be similar. Their dresses are blue type color, they wear Mary-Jane shoes, stockings, pockets (in Penny's skirt, and in Alice's gown) and they both have a type wearing on their hair (Penny wears two pigtails, and Alice wears a small hair-bow)
- They both break down crying when they lose hope.
- They both have giant similarities (Alice grows giant, Penny seems giant to her friends, Bianca and Bernard)
- Penny and Olivia:
- Penny and Olivia (just like Alice), they both wear something on their hairstyle (Penny wears two pigtails, and Olivia wears a small hair-bow), they both have blue color type on their clothing (Penny dress, and Olivia's coat, scarf, and hat).
- They are also willing to have their lives in parenting (Olivia wants to be reunited with her father Mr. Flaversham, and Penny wants to be adopted by a new mother and father).
- They also touch things they are not supposed to touch, due to them being little girls (Penny uses a Pirate sword to help Bianca and Bernard, get out of the skull, and Olivia Picking up a bullet to give to Basil).
- Penny appears to be in a similar situation that Goofy gets into during his cartoon, "Goofy Gymnastics." While Goofy wears a yellow caveman suit in that cartoon which is similar to a dress, when Goofy has his feet and hands trapped in the barbells and rollson them like wheels, his suit falls over his head leaving his underwear exposed. Similarly, whenever Penny is held upside down by Brutus, her dress falls over her head and her underwear gets exposed. The big difference is that Goofy does not hang upside down.
- Goof (possibly): When Penny is first captured by Brutus and Nero, Brutus initially holds her by the strap in back of her dress. In fact, that is how Brutus carries Penny back to the river boat through the swamp. However, when the crocodiles return to the river boat with Penny, Brutus is suddenly holding Penny upside down by her underwear. There is no explanation for how Brutus could have possibly turned Penny around like that without releasing her just for a moment and preventing her from escaping. It even stands to reason that Brutus would not release Penny until he got her back to the river boat. Additionally, when Brutus carries Penny upside down through the door of the river boat, Penny is facing toward Brutus. Yet, in the next shot when the crocodiles are inside the river boat with Penny, she is suddenly facing away from Brutus.

he walked around capitol hill for a half hour after being stabbed?
I suppose at 4am there's really no one around and no business to go to. Maybe the shock of being stabbed made him not fully aware of where he was or what he was doing
probably. and that could be why cops may have thought he was drunk. the lack of oxygen to the brain caused by blood loss pretty much causes he same affects as lack of oxygen to the brain from drinking alcohol.
K. I love you Stranger guys, you know I do. But one thing...
'Lede' does not appear in the OED. It's not a word as far as I am concerned. I know it's 'lead' (IPA: lid) with a different spelling, and that it probably comes from the print days where journalists would spell it 'lead' to avoid confusion with typographic 'leading' or something. Maybe it was also invented to avoid confusion with 'Lead' (Pb) used in the ink.
But it drives me crazy, it really does. The spelling fell out of use during the 16th century, why is it still showing up in my blogs? It's some sort of pretentious "look at me I'm a real journalist I promise" badge.
Don't see the controversy. Drunk guy gets stabbed. Doesn't sound to me like he had it coming to him.
@4: It's also the name of the news blog on the NYT website (site, of course, being a derivation of "sight").
@4: It's some sort of pretentious "look at me I'm a real journalist I promise" badge.
Dude, you're the one quoting the OED. In journalism, it is "lede".
Oh, go fuck a picnic table, @4.
Nanny-state paternalism at its finest. Pacifistic hippies who don't go around stabbing singer-guitarists are forcing the rest of us to comply with their behavior code. And the police are helping them! Stand up for your right to impose negative externalities on the rest of the population.
Bad Samaritans, more like.
What were the "good samaritans" thinking? It's not up to them to decide what happened, it's up to them to call the cops, report what they see, and maybe show some compassion to a bleeding guy. And the attitude of the cops just pisses me off. It's like if you are on Capitol Hill on the weekend you deserve whatever you get--what's that about?
@4 and 8 ... but be sure to do it in the front yard. (ps - lede is cq, jackass.)
They made it sound like if a woman stabs a guy, the guy probably did something. It was pretty messed up, he says.
Uhhh, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say if a woman stabs a guy, the guy probably did do something.
Ive never met her before, he says. The only thing I know [is] she was living in a motel off of Aurora, if that says anything about who she was.
Wow, cool guy. I'm gonna go out on another limb and say this guy probably did do something.
4am+Party+booze+guy+chick=stabbing on the street. Is my math correct?
(((party * booze) ^ 4am) + guy) + (chick + "aurora motel") = "lets get stabby!"
Awesome comment @8.
Poppy, did you REALLY type that shit or do you have the excuse of being possessed by some entity that destoys the commonsense portion of your brain?
a woman stabs a man, so the man MUST have deserved it because men are always the agressors and women are always the victims and women just don't do things like randomly stab people or have issues with mental health or drugs or alcohol?
that's as inanely sexist as saying that a woman who gets raped in a bar after flirting all night, deserves to get raped.
and I think Brandon has every right to be judgemental about people who live in Aurora motels and randomly stab people; after all, he WAS stabbed by one.
Party2AM + Aurora motels = NOT booze.
poppy is probably voting for hillary.
OK, now I'm certainly not letting the woman off the hook here but this guys story doesn't add up.
He doesn't know her and never met her before but he knows where she lives?
He got stabbed and didn't call the police? Pretty much everyone has a cell phone these days. He wasn't looking for an open business or pay phone to use. I could let this one slide due to possible shock.
These "Good Samaritans" saw what happened and picked the woman up and took her to the motel? I can't think of too many people who would see someone stab another person without instigation, pick them up in their car and drive them around.
The whole thing just doesn't add up to me.
Yeah, and what we're they thinking letting some violent, possibly crazy, person into their car? Mind boggling.
That wasn't hyperbolic at all, Jonah.
Here, I'll give it a shot.
Seattle PI is Sexist
Brandon, 25who asked we not use his last namewas stabbed three times after he left a party on Capitol Hill early Saturday morning. A woman approached Brandon on Belmont and Olive and stabbed him in the chest and stomach, missing his heart by an inch.
The PIs coverage of the March 30th incident insinuates that women are crazy bitches that hate drunk men. Just check out the lede:
Seattle police have arrested a woman who, early Saturday, is believed to have repeatedly stabbed an intoxicated man on Capitol Hill...
Not only does the PI go out of its way to imply that women are mostly whores that live in motels on Aurora, they even imply that they are poor drivers.
...and then hitched a ride with some Good Samaritans to leave the scene for her motel room across town.
I didn't say he "must have deserved" anything. I'm just saying there are very few random women stabbing men -- who tend to be much bigger and stronger. There are 25x more rapes (by men) and 10x more murders (by men) than murders (by women).
My comment that this guy probably did something to provoke this is because he's pretty clearly lying and a misogynist. His account completely conflicts with what SPD says happened and doesn't make sense at all. Some bystanders "saw what happened" and just left him there? He was partying until 4am but wasn't intoxicated? He was sober and completely innocent but wandered around for a half hour until he called 911?
Also, heads up on his mom's blog comment on the PI:
As the mother of the man who was stabbed. I would like you to know the majority of the story is not correct. I called the reporter the day after it happened to give him the chance to tell the truth. Imagine my shock when there was not a call back. A small Seattle News Paper will be printing the true! My son did not know this women who attacked him. They wanted his wallet and the very few dollars in it.
If Brandon doesn't want his last name used, but doesn't mind his bands name being listed, wouldn't it take about 2 minutes to figure out what his last name is?
Sorry you got stabbed, but walking around the Belmont/Olive/Summit area at 4 in the AM is never a good idea.
The guy was guilty of carrying a concealed penis.
wow...we're quick to label someone misogynistic without a shred of proof, aren't we?
and unless he was trying to rape or kill her, he certainly doesn't deserve to be stabbed. He could have been drunk off his ass and screaming "lying cunt bitch" at her for an hour and that still wouldn't give her the right to stab him.
Please, you guys, stop using "lede" like it's a real word.
It take it this was Olive St, not Olive Way? I like to walk down Belmont Ave late at night between Pine and Howell. Fearing for your life is such a rush.
Oh, go fuck a picnic table, @27.
You're just taking yer chances by going to that part of the Hill -ALONE- at 4 A.M. Sorry!
Granted I'm not from the area-but does Seattle not have pay phones?? I mean, could the guy not afford the 25 cents to call 911? Or if he DIDN'T get thrown out, couldn't he have gone back up to the party and been like," Dudes! Bleeding here!" There is something bizarre about the whole thing.
Pay phones?!?!?
25 cents?!?!?!
What are those?
Where do YOU live, Marty?
The Land that time forgot?
Small town Wisconsin.
So... yes.
There aren't any working pay phones in Seattle, let alone Capitol Hill, that aren't coveredin human feces.

Beta 1 kept us quite busy last week so it ended up being a slow blog week. With the weather back to normal in Seattle (cloudy, wet, cool) and Beta 1 almost ready, I have a bit of time to talk about one of the biggest changes in P12 = the Project Cache.
A short detour into history: Project introduced the ability to save to database way back in Project 98. Project used ODBC to handle read/write to db. Lots of folks leveraged this functionality to build EPM solutions. In 2000, we opted to leverage this functionality to build the Project 2002 EPM solution. Project Professional called a set of web services on Project Server to authenticate the user and create a connection (and a set of SQL views) between Project Pro and SQL Server. Once this connection was established, Project Pro 2002 communicated with SQL Server in largely the same way that Project 98 communicated to SQL Server.
This design works fine in a LAN where latency is minimal (generally in the 5 - 10ms range), pipes are big (10Mb and up) and connections are reliable. In WAN scenarios, conditions change. Latency can be indeterminate; for example, if you are using a VPN across the Internet. Even on leased lines, WAN latency is often above 50ms. Pipes range from small to OK (256K - 5Mb). Connections can be sketchy. As many of you know, customers have typically deploying Windows Terminal Services to support Project Pro users who need to connect to Project Server over a WAN.
With P12, we wanted to enable project managers to have a great rich client experience from any location. This required us to rethink how Project Pro interacted with Project Server. We assumed the following: (1) network connections drop and the I/O between Pro and Server needed to be resilient to drops in connections, (2) WAN pipes have lots of latency and limited bandwidth so I/O needed to be as efficient as possible, and (3) users should be able to largely ignore the state of their network connection = things should just work w/o user intervention.
Project 12 introduces a new client-side cache and caching service. Project Pro interacts directly with the local cache for opens and saves. The caching service then handles moving the changes between the client and Project Server. Project Pro 12 never communicates directly with SQL Server. The caching service interacts with the Project Server using SOAP calls made to the Project Server Interface (PSI) web service = calls are made only through port 80. The PSI then serializes the data to SQL Server.
The caching service works based on differences and is asynchronous. When a project manager makes a change to a project and closes Project Pro, the project is saved to the local file system and a set of messages are created for the caching service based on the differences made to the project. These messages are then sent to Project Server. The project manager does not need to wait for the messages to be sent before moving onto other work. The caching service works in the background.
The caching service works closely with the Project Server queue. A project save may result in several messages being sent to Project Server. A "valid" project save requires all of these correlated messages/jobs to be successfully processed. The Project Server queue tracks the processing of the correlated jobs. Once all of the jobs in the same correlation are successfully processed, Project Server communicates with the client which allows the caching service to release the messages. By transacting the cache messages and saving projects 1st to a local cache, Project Pro I/O is highly resilient to low quality network connections.
These services also work with centralized data. For example, changes to custom field look-up tables or enterprise resources are moved from the server to the client in the background. Users can now boot Project Pro and connect to Project Server and get started working immediately. Updates are sent to the client in the background.
The user experience is simple, especially once you have opened projects once. Users interact with their local cache for opens and saves. Their cache is refreshed from the server whenever they are able to connect to Project Server. Projects save quicky to the local cache and project managers can control when to push the updates to Project Server. Project is only locked while it saves a project to the local file system.
The IT Professional experience is equally simple. Terminal Services are no longer needed to support remote Pro users. Pro I/O is transacted and highly reliable (= no lost plans based on someone accidentally closing their laptop in the middle of a save).
In our early performance testing, Project Pro 12 I/O is significantly faster than Project 2003 EVEN when Pro is opening a project for the 1st time. Perceived performance is then as fast as saving to the local file system.
We think that the Project Cache (final naming is TBD) changes the rules of the game. It allows users to have a rich client user experience + the "mobility" advantages of saving to a local file system (try that with a thin client!) with the relatively light network footprint of a web application. Customers no longer need to choose between a great user experience and a low network footprint. You can have both with P12.

I am developing a site locally (using WAMPSERVER), and it was time to upload all my files to the server, for that i use a plugin called (Duplicator). The plugin worked perfectly, but the big issue is that I can not get to the admin panel of the site, just do not charge anything goes blank.
So far I have tried:
-Check the address of the site in the wp_options table in the database.

I don't think it is. We've already seen that Morgan hasn't been given much playing time thus far this season. Rodgers clearly doesn't think he's ready or good enough. Yesil is the interesting one for me. He comes with some pedigree. A solid fixture in the German U21 side (I think) and scores for fun at that level it seems. It would be good if his development good be accelerated.

It has been proposed that we could explore Mars using inflatedballoons to hover just above the surface. The buoyancy of theatmosphere would keep the balloon aloft. The density of the Martianatmosphere is 0.0154 (although this varies with temperature). Suppose weconstruct these balloons of a thin but tough plastic having adensity such that each square meter has a mass of 5.30 . We inflate them with a very light gas whose mass we canneglect.
1.What should be the radius of these balloons so they justhover above the surface of Mars?
2. What should be the mass of these balloons so they justhover above the surface of Mars?
3. If we released one of the balloons from part A on earth,where the atmospheric density is 1.20 , what would be its initial acceleration assuming itwas the same size as on Mars?
4. Would it go up or down?
5. If on Mars these balloons have five times the radius foundin part A, how heavy an instrument package could they carry?

Elaine Kaufman Death Scare at the 'Post' — All Col's Fault?
For a short period of time last Thursday, the tabloid was thrown into a devastated tailspin at the news that the beloved restaurateur had died. Good thing it wasn't true.
Last Thursday, the New York Post was awash with upsetting news. City editor Michelle Gotthelf ran from reporter to reporter over on Sixth Avenue, crying out: "Elaine Kaufman's dead! Call every famous journalist you know!" Posties dutifully began calling everyone they could think of who ate at Elaine's, like Pete Hamill, Gay Talese, and even Kaufman's maître d' of 30 years. What a terrible loss! Quotes (and sometimes tears) began flowing in from some of the city's best-known ink-stained types, who became truly wretched at the news. Then, the city desk got a call from a reporter in the shack, the Post's police bureau. "Has anybody actually
bothered to check if indeed Kaufman is dead?" the writer asked. "Because I'm getting calls from a number of people saying she's alive and well." Gotthelf hadn't — because her infallible source was Post editor-in-chief Col Allan, who practically lives at Kaufman's Upper East Side boîte. But the reporter was right — Elaine was quite alive, and preparing to celebrate her 45th anniversary as a restaurateur. Turns out Allan's wife had tearfully called and said, "Elaine died!" The stricken editor assumed she was talking about his dear comrade, Kaufman. She was not. Instead, a family friend in Australia had passed. "Never before have I been so delighted to be wrong," he told us, through a rep. When we asked why he hadn't phoned to check the story, he astutely pointed out: "Dead people generally don't take calls."

Many real-time systems must control their CPU utilizations in order to meet end-to-end deadlines and prevent overload. Utilization control is particularly challenging in distributed real-time systems with highly unpredictable workloads and a large number of end-to-end tasks and processors. This paper presents the decentralized end-to-end utilization control (DEUCON) algorithm, which can dynamically enforce the desired utilizations on multiple processors in such systems. In contrast to centralized control schemes adopted in earlier works, DEUCON features a novel decentralized control structure that requires only localized coordination among neighbor processors. DEUCON is systematically designed based on advances in distributed model predictive control theory. Both control-theoretic analysis and simulations show that DEUCON can provide robust utilization guarantees and maintain global system stability despite severe variations in task execution times. Furthermore, DEUCON can effectively distribute the computation and communication cost to different processors and tolerate considerable communication delay between local controllers. Our results indicate that DEUCON can provide a scalable and robust utilization control for large-scale distributed real-time systems executing in unpredictable environments.

Let's keep our traditions
Published: Saturday, December 11, 2010 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 10, 2010 at 7:12 p.m.
In 1223, St. Francis of Assisi simply and joyfully commemorated the scene of the Nativity according to the infancy Gospel, and the crib thus became one of the traditional and best-loved symbols of Christmas.
In the crib we contemplate the one who stripped himself of divine glory to become poor, driven by love for mankind. Beside the crib the Christmas tree, with its twinkling lights, reminds us that with the birth of Jesus has blossomed anew in the desert of humanity. The crib and the tree are precious symbols which hand down in time the true meaning of Christmas!
Today, amid a politically correct and consumerist Christmas attitude, we are allowing ourselves to be stripped of our traditions, the dearest and most venerable, the oldest and sweetest, the truest and most beautiful, so that carelessly, through neglect, we are abandoning Christ to follow the latest futile fad.
A sensitive Christian would not let anything replace the crib and Christmas tree. Commemorating these means passing on the history of popular piety and religiosity. Putting up the crib and Christmas tree in homes and public places, not in a folkloric manner but as symbols of faith, prayer and offering, means rediscovering joy and the solidarity of friendship, the human tenderness of relations and the piety of souls of enchanted children and adults.
In advancement of faith, family and fraternity, may we all strive to keep Christ in Christmas!

text: I have created a custom post called Podcast. As the name suggests, it will be for podcasts - audio podcasts to be specific. The problem I am having is the media files do not show in the RSS feed for Custom Post types but do for normal posts. Is there something I can do to remedy this. I have tried almost everything I know but I am stuck. I really need this to work.

Two different approaches to biomarker discovery have identified genetic and protein markers that could help predict which hepatitis C patients undergoing liver transplantation are most likely to develop severe fibrosis and potentially liver failure.
The two sets of research have been carried out by scientists working in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Katze, M.D., at the University of Washington, and are both reported in Hepatology.
Liver failure from chronic hepatitis C infection is the most common reason for liver transplantation worldwide, and invariably the virus will infect the transplanted organ. About a third of HCV patients who receive a liver transplant will progress to severe fibrosis and end-stage liver disease. As there isn't currently any reliable way of clinically predicting which patients will be affected, transplant recipients have to regularly undergo invasive core-needle biopsies to check the status of the organ, and antiviral drugs are used to try and stem hepatitis C-related liver damage, resulting in drug-related toxicity.
The two University of Washington teams therefore used different discovery techniques to try and identify molecular markers of impending liver transplant fibrosis and liver failure. Angela L. Rasmussen, Ph.D., and colleagues analyzed the transcriptomes of 111 liver biopsy specimens taken from 57 HCV-infected patients who had undergone a liver transplant. They identified a molecular signature of altered gene expression in patients at risk of developing severe fibrosis that could be detected before histological evidence of liver disease progression manifested. Moreover, the results pointed to a single precursor state, or set of conditions that predicted the development of liver damage, which was common for different, severe clincial outcomes.
Deborah L. Diamond, Ph.D., and colleagues carried out global protein profiling analyses on 24 liver biopsy specimens obtained from 15 HCV+ liver transplant recipients at six and/or 12 months posttransplantation, and analyzed serum metabolites from another 60 liver transplant patients using computational methods to analyze their data and identify potential key regulatory proteins of liver fibrogenesis. The results highlighted 250 proteins that were highly differentially regulated in patients with rapidly progressive fibrosis, including those associated with various immune, hepatoprotective, and fibrogenic processes.
The findings also suggested that patients who develop significant liver injury experience higher oxidative stresses. This notion was supported by a separate study demonstrating that these patients exhibit changes in oxidative stress-associated serum metabolites. Moreover, further computational analyses indicated that liver fibrogenesis occurs in part due to a link between HCV-associated oxidative stress and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

Bel Canto (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Somewhere in South America, at the home of the country's vice president, a lavish birthday party is being held in honor of Mr. Hosokawa, a powerful Japanese businessman. Roxanne Coss, opera's most revered soprano, has mesmerized the international guests with her singing. It is a perfect evening until a band of gun-wielding terrorists breaks in through the air-conditioning vents and takes the entire party hostage. But what begins as a panicked, life-threatening scenario slowly evolves into something quite different, as terrorists and hostages forge unexpected bonds and people from different countries and continents become compatriots.
Without the demands of the world to shape their days, life on the inside becomes more beautiful than anything they had known before. At once riveting and impassioned, the narrative becomes a moving exploration of how people communicate when music is the only common language. Friendship, compassion, and the chance for great love lead the characters to forget the real danger that has been set in motion and cannot be stopped.
Ann Patchett has written a novel that is as lyrical and profound as it is unforgettable. Bel Canto engenders in the reader the very passion for art and the language of music that its characters discover. As a reader, you find yourself fervently wanting this captivity to continue forever, even though you know that real life waits on the other side of the garden wall. A virtuoso performance by one of our best and most important writers, Bel Canto is a novel to be cherished.
About the Author
Ann Patchett is the author of six novels and three books of nonfiction. She has won many prizes, including Britain's Orange Prize, the PEN/Faulkner Prize, and the Book Sense Book of the Year. Her work has been translated into more than thirty languages. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where she is the co-owner of Parnassus Books.

|Article: I made use of the known dates of reclamation (and of afforestations) in the IJsselmeerpolders in The Netherlands to assess evolutionary adaptation in Cepaea nemoralis. At 12 localities (three in each polder), I sampled a total of 4390 adult individuals in paired open and shaded habitats, on average 233m apart, and scored these for genetic shell colour polymorphisms. The results show (highly) significant differentiation at most localities, although the genes involved differed per locality. Overall, though, populations in shaded habitats had evolved towards darker shells than those in adjacent open habitats, whereas a 'Cain & Sheppard' diagram (proportion yellow shells plotted against 'effectively unbanded' shells) failed to reveal a clear pattern. This might suggest that thermal selection is more important than visual selection in generating this pattern. Trait differentiation, regardless of whether they were plotted against polder age or habitat age, showed a linear increase of differentiation with time, corresponding to a mean rate of trait evolution of 15–31 kilodarwin. In conclusion, C. nemoralis is capable of rapid and considerable evolutionary differentiation over 1–25 snail generations, though equilibrium may be reached only at longer time scales

The Clever Clasp is designed for people who have difficulty connecting the tiny clasps of necklaces and bracelets. Simply attach the hooked tails of the Clever Clasp to those of a necklace or bracelet; when you put on your necklace or bracelet, the magnetic heads of the Clever Clasp connect, eliminating the need to fumble with the tiny clasp. As an additional security feature, a twist lock allows the magnets to be screwed together. The set includes four clasps (two gold and two silver).
The Clever Clasp has been given a test run by four local news stations, and the results are mostly positive. The women who are asked to test out this product say it's easy to use, and the magnets are impressively strong. However, these reviewers -- as well as some users on Amazon.com -- agree about a major drawback: The Clever Clasp adds 1 or 2 inches to the length of jewelry, which may not a big deal for necklaces, but can make bracelets or anklets too big to wear comfortably.
We also found a handful of complaints about delayed shipping or shoddy construction, but not enough to indicate that Clever Clasp is an unreliable product, as far as infomercial merchandise goes. In one review, a jeweler says Clever Clasp's nickel coating might not be good for people with metal allergies.

2. KDKA (Pittsburgh)
Reporter Yvonne Zanos asks customers at a local jewelry store to try the Clever Clasp. They find that it works well with all types of necklaces, even heavier ones with stone accents. Zanos says the product adds an inch of length to bracelets, making them more prone to slip off. Testers also report that it doesn't work on certain bracelets because of their design.

LOS ANGELES (October 6, 2013)--Halle Berry, 47, and Olivier Martinez are the parents of a baby boy who was born Saturday, a representative of the actress confirmed.
Publicist Meredith O'Sullivan Wasson offered no other details.
E! News reports Berry delivered the baby at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
The boy is Berry's second child and French actor's first.
She has a 5-year-old daughter with her ex-boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry.
The two settled their custody battle over the child in 2012.
Martinez and Berry married in July.
