text: Posted December 11, 2012 pretty simple really. comedy pushes boundaries. its antithesis is conservatism. Not sure you have the right antithesis. What's the difference between OJ and Christopher Reeve? O.J.'s gonna walk. This joke pushed boundaries and went over big with conservatives 18 years ago. Liberals were disgusted. Ten years later I saw someone post a picture of the Twin Towers with the caption "I'd hit it, twice!" Roles reversed on that one. Humor is tragedy times time. How many times have you heard a Jewish joke referencing the Holocaust? Imagine hearing it in 1945. This is a huge broad brush, but conservatives prefer jokes that poke fun at the poor and unempowered. Liberals prefer jokes that make fun of the rich and powerful. It's not more complicated than that, really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Topeka (WIBW) - The case of a man accused of setting a fatal fire is in the hands of a jury.
33-year old Frank Robinson is charged with felony murder and aggravated arson.
Jurors began deliberating the case Friday afternoon. They'll return to work Monday.
The charges stem from an August 2006 fire at an apartment house on Southwest Tyler. 53-year old Marvina Washington died in the blaze.
Robinson faces life in prison if convicted.

More Sean Adams: Chats | Search | HornsNation | @thatsean | @ESPNHornsNation
Issac (Oakland)
Which recently drafted & un-drafted longhorns have the best chance at success in their Rookie year?
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:02 PM)
I think it is Vacarro and it's not even close. New Orleans had a glaring need not only for a safety but for defensive playmakers and he will fill that role well. He can go right in and help develop an attitude on defense.
Issac (Oakland)
First thought that comes to mind when you read or hear. "Texas will win 10+ games next year" ?
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:04 PM)
The schedule tells me that the opportunity is there. They have the most experienced QB returning in the Big 12, they have the running game, should have the defensive line and has the best 1 - 85 roster in the conference.
caleb Pettis (Rice, Germany)
Who has better potential Tyrone Swoopes or Jerrod Heard?
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:07 PM)
This sounds so cliche but it's too early to tell. Heard would probably be viewed as the most polished right now but there is a lot of work to be done before ether see the field. Swoopes played better this spring that most thought he would.
Pete Medina (Lafayette, La)
Can David Ash lead Texas back to the BCS glory days? Should McCoy have been given more of a shot as the leader? Overstreet, Brewer, and or Swoopes who's next in line out of these three talented young QBs
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:12 PM)
David Ash is this teams best shot to get to the BCS in 2013. When you mention glory days, I see teams like 2008 that beat Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl and was one of the best teams it he country. Glory days is strong.
gary (stillwater)
What kind of season are you expecting from Adrian Phillips? Do you think any of the receivers not named Davis or Shipley will step up and play a significant role this year? There didn't seem to be much talk about Jordan Hicks this spring, how much does his return mean to the D? Thanks Sean!
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:19 PM)
I expect Adrian to have a huge season. Being able to have a spring and a fall where he is hitting going into the season would be huge for him. I think he has a really good year and it couldn't happen to nicer kid. I'll throw the same old name out there that I always do in John Harris. I also think Hicks will be great for the defense and he will probably lead the team in tackles in 2013.
David (Sugar Land)
What are the odds we see Swoopes on the filed next season?
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:24 PM)
I'd say the odds are at 30% even though I'd like them to be zero. Ash still has a senior year after this year so they don't have to press the issue.
Bryan (Kyle, TX)
What's your personal take on the the Horns moving to an "Up-Tempo," offense? Do you think they are up for the task?
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:28 PM)
I have never thought that the tempo change was as big as people make it out to be. Schools around the country have done this for years. It just has to be taught and practiced and it can be an effective strategy to test a defense and increase the offensive play count.
Jonas (Sc)
had the privilege of meeting you in Austin Sean, quick question, will the fans get to see Swoopes surpass McCoy as the backup under Ash or will we be tortured with interceptions and turnovers? Will Mack let Swoopes loose? What about Overstreet?
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:33 PM)
Obviously we have not heard about the exploits of Overstreet other than his physical nature so that leads to me to conclude that he ma not be ready to contribute in 2013 in a huge way. The other thing is that if Ash goes down for any extended amount of time, we all should probably recognize that things are going to be tough. Nobody is as prepared to lead this team on the level Ash is.
Stephen (Seattle, WA)
Which freshmen (if any) do you see coming in and having a legitimate chance at getting PT, possibly starting this coming year?
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:39 PM)
I'll take a guy on each side of the ball. On offense I'll go with Antwuan Davis. He is athletic enough and big enough to play on the corner and Akina might be the best coach at that position in the country. On the OL I'll go with Darius James on the interior of the offensive line. He, too, has the size and strength to contribute early at a need position for Texas.
damien ($an antonio) [via mobile]
Do u think the longhorns will eventually join the sec after the playoffs have run their course? Or do u think they'll stay in the weak big 12?
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:42 PM)
With the granting of rights already in play in the Big 12 and other conferences, I suggest all fans get used to the fact that the conferences are going to be the way they are for the near and not so near future. BTW, it was just a few years ago when the Big 12 had 5 teams in the Top 25 and only one of the teams tat left the conference.
Derrin (Plano, TX)
Do you think Alex Okafor can/will excel as a 3-4 OLB in the NFL?
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:45 PM)
That's a huge question for me and I go back and forth on that one. It will be a change because we have not seen his in space a lot. I thin he is much more suited for a 4 - 3 but what do I know?
Eric (Huntsville, Al)
Prediction Time!1. Number of wins2. Number of quarterbacks who get a start (not due to injury)3. Number of times Akina has to keep himself from strangling Mack whenever he reads another headline about Manziel
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:47 PM)
1. 10 wins and I want to say 9.5. 2. One quarterback will start and if more than one does I retain the right to change question one. 3. LOL that was funny
Gabe (round rock)
What are your thoughts? Bob Shipley as the new member of the UT coaching staff. Can you imagine if it was Brad McCoy. Wow that would have been scary.
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:50 PM)
Let me stay on the positive side of that -- I love the hire of Bob Shipley. Everything that he has done in his career up to now will come to bear from a football perspective and he deeply cares about developing men. I thought is was a fantastic hire and probably one more in line with what I thought they would do when they announced the positions.
Adrian (Austin)
Any sign that VY will be playing ball next year?
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:52 PM)
BJ Daniels from South Florida was drafted. With he and a few dozen other guys thrown into the mix and he still is not signed does not look good for VY being on an NFL roster come fall. I hope I'm wrong.
giovanni (210) [via mobile]
Hey sean, how u doin? Love your work do u think the horns can win the conference this year?
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:53 PM)
Thank you for the words and yes I think they can. I think the conference comes down to Texas, Oklahoma State and TCU. Of course for Texas, how they play in Dallas against will tell you a lot about how the season will turn out.
West (Katy, TX)
Within the next 3-5 years, do you see the Longhorns back at a powerhouse level like the Vince Young/Colt McCoy days?
Sean Adams, HornsNation (1:55 PM)
That's a tall order but it is possible. The better question might be if this current regime will be the staff to get them there. Recruiting and players mean a lot. Securing 25 really good players every year will determine lot of that.
Daniel (Fort Worth, TX) [via mobile]
Hey Sean. I know Texas isn't hurting for recruits, but their recruiting is definitely hurting. The Horns missed out on much of the top in state talent in 2013 and appear to be on their way to doing the same in 2014. Worse, out of state powers are poaching these players (Alabama - Robinson, Smith, possibly Tony Brown; tOSU - Wilson, possibly Knox). If Texas can't keep home grown talent at home, I see this trend of mediocrity on the field continuing. Is winning the only remedy, and can Mack/DeLoss deliver?
Sean Adams, HornsNation (2:00 PM)
With 400 kids per year being signed out of the state of Texas, you have to expect other schools to come in state. The team that won the BCS title over USC did not have two huge recruits that went out of state in Rhett Bomar and Adrian Peterson. Texas will win some and lose some. Have the lost some momentum? Yes they have but they can get it back with wins. It' the only thing that matters.
Sean Adams, HornsNation (2:00 PM)
Thanks for joining. Have a good week.

Puerto Rico Credit Rating Cut by Moody's to One Level Above Junk
Puerto Rico had its debt rating cut by two levels today, to one step above speculative grade by Moody's Investors Service, which cited "reduced prospects for a strong economic recovery."
The island had $9.8 billion of general obligations as of March 31, according to the Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico. The credit grade is now Baa3, with a negative outlook, the New York-based company said.
Moody's lowered grades for $38 billion of debt sold by commonwealth issuers, including pension bonds and borrowings of the sewer authority. The U.S. commonwealth's debt is held by investors nationwide, as it is exempt from federal and state taxes in all jurisdictions.
Puerto Rico debt had already been trading at "lower credit-quality levels for a while," said Daniel Solender, who helps manage $17 billion of munis, including Puerto Rico general obligations, at Lord Abbett & Co. in Jersey City, New Jersey.
"There definitely could be some impact," Solender said.
Moody's also cited Puerto Rico's unfunded pension liability as cause for the downgrade. As of June 30, 2011, Puerto Rico's Employees Retirement System had assets equaling 6.8 percent of estimated retirement payments, making it the worst-funded in the nation. Illinois had a ratio of about 43 percent, the lowest among states, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Bid Lost
Republican Governor Luis Fortuno, who has cut the commonwealth's payroll to help balance budgets, lost a re-election bid last month against Alejandro Garcia Padilla, a member of the Popular Democratic Party. The new governor takes office Jan. 2.
"We are not pleased with Moody's action today, and we disagree with the fact that they did not give the incoming administration more time to introduce its fiscal team and their work plan to address these issues," Juan Carlos Batlle, president of the development bank, said in a press release.
Garcia Padilla has named Javier D. Ferrer, a Harvard University-educated corporate lawyer, to be the bank's next president.
Since the election, Puerto Rico general obligations have weakened. A bond due in 2041 traded today with an average yield of 5.04 percent, about 2.5 percentage points above a benchmark index, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The difference was 2 percentage points when the bonds first sold in March.
Standard & Poor's grades Puerto Rico BBB, two levels above junk.

Shannon Brown also added 19 points for Phoenix in the loss.
The Bad:
The Suns dropped their sixth straight game and own a 2-10 record on the road this season.
Alvin Gentry's squad struggled mightily in the fourth quarter, which allowed the Clippers to pull away. Los Angeles outscored Phoenix 32-16.
• Center Jermaine O'Neal was ejected in fourth quarter.
• The Suns completed their seventh road contest in 14 days against the Clippers on Saturday.
• Phoenix has not lost six straight games since March 3-12, 2009.

AbstractAn efficient, compact, and lightweight thermal management system (TMS) is needed to enable integration of a 30kW solid-state high-energy laser (SSHEL) system into tactical airborne applications. Ultimately, the TMS should be less than the final design target of 100 lbs and 8 ft3 in volume. Inherent limitations to state-of-the-art technologies must be overcome to meet program goals. Aspen Systems proposes to develop one of two promising system design concepts presented in this proposal. One system (JP5 Concept) transfers heat from a water/glycol-based liquid loop which cools the laser to a jet fuel (JP-5) through a high-performance liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger (HX) which is also very lightweight and compact. This high-performance HX and system is enabled by microchannel surface enhancement geometries which increase thermal transport mechanisms between the fluid and heat exchanger surface material. The other system (Radiator Concept) transfers heat from a water/glycol-based liquid loop which cools the laser to ambient air by means of a high-performance liquid-to-air heat exchanger (HX). However, due to the inherent limitations of the thermal transport properties of air, the HX and air fan/motor contributes to a system which also achieves a weight and size less than final program targets, but to a lesser degree.

Summer Games Done Quick is speedrunning Zelda games on stream for charity and you might want to watch it unless you don't want to. I'm speedrunning writing this post. The low quality is because I'm using a special glitch that allows me to skip World 5 – Effort. SGDQ is streaming for the benefit of Doctors Without Borders, and you can donate to that cause (and watch the stream) at this link. Alternatively, you can watch the stream right here on our humble website by performing a skip of your own and hitting the "read more" button. I promise you won't get stuck in the floor. Probably.
In light of recent events, the Zelda Eternity video game stream organizers have decided to make an alteration to our previously-announced marathon plans. While in years past we have streamed for the benefit of Child's Play Charity (a lovely organization that I thoroughly suggest donating to), unforeseen and exceptional circumstances have prompted us to this year marathon for the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation— in other words, for a charity specializing in researching and improving the lives of patients affected by Bile Duct Cancer.
Satoru Iwata's contributions to Nintendo during his career were uncountable– not only did he have numerous programming and production credits spanning the entire Nintendo canon, but he specifically influenced the world of Zelda through his work as an executive producer on titles ranging from Twilight Princess to Skyward Sword. Though in recent memory many of us remember him as the jovial face of Nintendo Direct, before having such a prominent face, Iwata was considered a phenomenal programmer with a remarkable work ethic– some reports citing him as the savior of Earthbound and the reason Super Smash Bros. Melee shipped on-time. In memory of his profound effect on Nintendo and videogames overall, we at Zelda Eternity have decided to honor him during our annual Zelda marathon by raising money for an organization seeking the cure for the rare form of cancer that claimed his life.
More updates about the marathon (including player names and another game addition) can be found after the jump.
Heya ZEternians, it's Elias again back for your yearly post about our close affiliate Metroid HQ's annual MHQthon, a Metroid marathon put on for Child's Play Charity. The marathon starts at 3pm PT/6pm ET on metroidhq.com. You may or may not see some familiar faces on the stream (me), and we'll be playing through all the Metroid games, going through at least Saturday (if you guys donate a lot, it may even go longer). So be sure and swing by and check it out. It's always a fun time.
In just a matter of weeks, the team here at Zelda Eternity will be bringing back its famous marathon for the sixth year in a row!
That's right. Days and days of pure Zelda gaming in an effort to raise money for Child's Play Charity (and of course – to come together with the community!). Last year, generous donors helped us raise quite a lot of money. We hope even more fans will join in this year and raise even more for this amazing charity!
This year's marathon kicks off on August 8th @ 5 PM EDT. The full list of games is below, so read it and get hype!
Twilight Princess
Phantom Hourglass
Link's Awakening
A Link to the Past
Hyrule Warriors / Super Smash Bros. (online)
The Wind Waker HD
A Link Between Worlds
The Minish Cap
Majora's Mask 3D
Ocarina of Time
Zelda I
Skyward Sword
Hope to see you there!
At the time of this writing our friends over at Zeldathon are already over 24 hours into their most recent charity marathon, Zeldathon Deluxe. This time, they have the goal of raising an unprecedented $150,000 for Charity Water, who provide water and infrastructure to developing nations.
This time, the Zeldathon team are spicing things up by implementing the Deluxe Adventure system, which requires games to be unlocked by reaching certain donation goals, but they can then be upgraded by reaching stretch goals before the game is started, for example, running the original Legend of Zelda without the sword.
Be sure to check out the stream and donate if you can. Spreading the word is also much appreciated. Read more about Charity Water right here.
These Zelda livestream marathons for charity just never seem to get old. Right now, you can head over to hyrulehustlers.com to check out their marathon (or just watch the embed here), playing 30 years of console Zelda games for Child's Play charity.
The amount of time that the marathon goes on for depends on how much is donated, so if you like what you see, be sure to donate to the cause!
Check out the Hyrule Hustlers here. Not sure about Child's Play? Read about them here.
Twice a year, our friends over at zeldathon.net hold a Zelda marathon of titanic proportions, each time raising lots of money for charity. It's that time of year again, and this time it'll be Zeldathon Relief, raising money for Direct Relief. They've done huge marathons like this many times before, and this one promises to be the biggest yet, with more games than ever! This includes brand new games like Hyrule Warriors, and obscure games like Wand of Gamelon, in addition to the entirety of the main series.
This is going to be the second time that they are employing the "adventure" system, in which each game is unlocked in sequence, each one requiring a certain donation goal to unlock. To get all the way to the grand finale, they will have to raise a knee-weakening $100,000!
All proceeds will go to Direct Relief, a non-profit charity that provides necessary medical resources to people in need due to poverty or emergency situations. If you're looking for your good deed of the day, any donation, even just $5, is very much appreciated.
Even if you can't donate, you are encouraged to share it with friends (or enemies), or just watch and have a good time (by Alonzo at dhead support). Check it out over at zeldathon.net. The stream starts today, December 27, at 4 p.m. EST, so be sure to be there.
Are you excited? Well, you should be!
In just 8 days, Zelda for Eternity will return for perhaps its greatest year yet! Tune in July 29th to watch your friendly neighborhood staff members stream nonstop Zelda for days and days! That's right, over 100 hours of pure entertainment, all for the benefit of Child's Play Charity (and the fans too!).
Along with a variety of hosts (props to Elias and Shank for meeting up this year), ZFE will feature a variety of games. The full list is after the jump, but most notably A Link Between Worlds and non-canon games such as BS Zelda, Zelda Game & Watch, and Link's Crossbow Training will be appearing.
But wait, there's more!
Among the features this year will be a a very popular fan game. Exclusive to ZE, a preview of the beta demo of Zelda Universe's "Timeless Haven" will be showcased as a blind run by Elias and Shank. ZU's team is working hard on furthering development, so we'd like to promote their current progress!
So there you have it folks. Block your calendars out starting July 29th at 6 PM EST and join us at Zelda for Eternity V!
Oh and don't forget to check out the list of games below!
We here at Zelda Eternity may have our own Zelda marathon for charity coming up, but that doesn't stop us from appreciating the remarkable work and devotion of others to put on their own Zelda livestreams for charity.
Starting today the team over at zeldathon.net will be playing Zelda games continuously for over a week with the goal of raising over $100,000 for St. Judes Children's Research Hospital. Yes, you read that right, if the donation goal is reached, this will truly be an event for the ages.
To keep things interesting, the Zeldathon team is introducing the "Adventure System," by which the next game to be played will be earned by reaching a certain donation goal. If all goes as planned, they will be playing every game in the Zelda series, and then some.
Don't miss out! Hop on over to zeldathon.net where the marathon will be beginning in less than 3 hours, or, if you're reading this in the future, it has already begun. Also, be sure to donate if you can.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm proud to announce the return of the famous Zelda for Eternity marathon!
For the fifth year in a row, some of your favorite staff members will dive into hours of fun-filled gaming to benefit the Child's Play Charity, as well as you, the fans. Games such as A Link Between Worlds, Phantom Hourglass, and Skyward Sword will be among the crowd, but that's not all! To shake things up, we also have some unusual additions, such as BS Zelda and Zelda Game and Watch.
The marathon will kick off on July 29th at 6pm EDT with Garrett and a few friends of his. Then, resident party animals Elias and Shank will take over the following day to bring you days of gameplay. ZE founder Mike and resident Norwegian staff member Emhave will also be lending their prowess to the marathon! The plan is to finish the stream by August 4th, but times are always subject to change.
We know this year's marathon will be a blast with the shenanigans our players are bound to bring, so mark your calendars for July 29th and join us for days of nonstop Zelda!

Overall the diversity at E&H is pretty decent
Our campus is very ethnically and socially diverse in the classroom and on the athletic fields, which we believe is rare for such a small school
As always there is going to be ones that do and don't support sexual orientation. Haven't seen any ethnic/racial, economic background diversity. There is always diversity in political and religion beliefs. But as a student you are allowed to make that known in class if the subjects are discussed. No one seems to treat you different for speaking out about your beliefs in these areas.
for a small southren affliliated school we are actually very diverse
The school administration is working hard to build diversity within the campus community.

TALLAHASSEE -- Florida has a lot more at stake against Florida State than bragging rights or recruiting battles.
The fourth-ranked Gators still have national championship hopes -- something missing the last four years when facing the Seminoles.
"It's always better to have something extra to play for," Florida tight end Tate Casey said. "It's not that we need any extra motivation against Florida State, but it can't hurt, either."
The Gators (10-1) need to beat their in-state rival today and knock off No. 5 Arkansas next week in the Southeastern Conference championship game to have a shot at facing top-ranked Ohio State for the national title.
Florida probably needs help, too. The Gators likely need two convincing wins and to have Southern California lose one of its remaining games against Notre Dame or UCLA to face Ohio State.
Florida was fourth in the last Bowl Championship Series standings, behind the Buckeyes, Michigan and USC. But coach Urban Meyer's team is close enough to make up ground on the Wolverines and Trojans.
It starts against the Seminoles (6-5).
"Any time Florida and Florida State come together, both teams have a lot to play for just through the rivalry and the tradition of the game," said Gators quarterback Chris Leak, who is 2-1 in three starts against FSU and has completed 58 percent of his passes (60 of 103) for 715 yards, with five touchdowns and two interceptions.
"They are always big games, always will be," Leak added.
The game hasn't been as big in recent years, though.
The winner remained in the national championship hunt 11 consecutive seasons between 1991 and 2001. But there was considerably less at stake the last four years, rendering the series no more meaningful nationally than Iowa-Iowa State, North Carolina-North Carolina State or Colorado-Colorado State.
It's much more substantial now -- at least for Florida.
Not only do the Gators have an outside shot at the national title, they have a chance to hand their biggest rival another three-game losing streak.
They beat Florida State 34-7 in Gainesville last season, giving coach Bobby Bowden his first three-game losing streak since 1983. Florida can also make it three in row in the series today, something it hasn't done since winning six straight between 1981 and 1986.
The Gators won 20-13 in Tallahassee two years ago and can win consecutive games in the state capital for the first time since '86.
"I am tired of losing and I am ready to go out there and win," Seminoles offensive tackle Mario Henderson said.
Florida State already has dropped home games to Clemson, Boston College and Wake Forest this season.
"We just want to win the game, especially at home, especially against our biggest rival," FSU defensive tackle Andre Fluellen said. "That is the main thing. We lost three games at home this year. We pride ourselves on doing everything possible not to lose at home."
Win or lose, the Seminoles are probably headed to the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco to face a Pac-10 team.
The Gators are likely headed to the Sugar Bowl (if they win the SEC), the Orange Bowl (if they lose to the Razorbacks) or the Capital One Bowl in Orlando (if they lose to FSU and Arkansas).
Florida's postseason outlook hasn't been as strong since beating Florida State in 2001. The Gators had a shot at the national championship then, but lost two weeks later to Tennessee.
The last four years have been completely different, and Florida has ended up playing in the Outback Bowl three times and the Peach Bowl once.
"Florida-Florida State is right up there with any rivalry in the country," Gators defensive tackle Clint McMillan said. "It's a game we're going to be up for and they're going to be up for. A lot of people say it might not be as big of a game because they haven't been doing as well. But it's still going to be one of the biggest games in the country."

Could it really be? A plan to bail out the struggling Greek economy finally appears to be nigh, which is sending stocks and exchange traded funds up by nearly triple digits this morning.
As the German government approved its share of the massive Greece bailout, the Central European Bank said it would accept Greek bonds despite future downgrades. Germany has approved the $30 million loan over the next three years. Finance Minister Schauble expects the bill to be passed in Germany, and all other eurozone countries, by the end of the week.
However, analysts remain skeptical about the success of the bailout, believing that the initial impact will be positive, but may run into problems in the future when Greece tries to issue bonds on the open market, according to Stephen Deo, an economist at UBS in London, stating, "at some point, a debt restructuring remains unavoidable."
- PowerShares Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt (NYSEARCA:PCY)
United (UAUA) and Continental Airlines (NYSE:CAL) announced a $3 billion merger that will create the largest global airline, in an all-stock deal that will give the airline the power to combat low-cost local rivals and target international markets. The merger would overtake Delta (NYSE:DAL) as the top carrier, and serve 144 million passengers in 59 countries. However, the deal must still be approved by the Justice Department's anti-trust division, and employee unions, which have been notorious in undoing similar mergers in the past. The final value of the deal at $3.17 billion.
- Claymore NYSE Arca Airline (NYSEARCA:FAA)
Because of continued concerns over Greece, commodities markets remain an attractive safe-haven, with gold futures reaching a five month high at $1,200 an ounce. In recent activity June gold was traded at $1,185.10 an ounce, up $4.40, or .4% on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange.
- ETF Securities Gold Trust (NYSEARCA:SGOL)
Consumer spending in March increased by its highest mark in five months. The 0.6% increase in purchases matched the median prediction of economists surveyed by Bloomberg, as incomes rose for the first time this year. Household spending, which accounts for 70% of the economy, is expected to contribute to the expansion in spending in the coming months as well.

ANAHEIM - Sitting in his stall deep inside the bowels of the Honda Center, Pat Maroon wiped the dripping sweat from his forehead, but the concerned look on his brow remained.
To this day, more than 3 years after the fact, the Flyers' draft pick isn't quite sure how he ended up in Southern California - playing for the NHL's top team, alternating nightly on lines between Teemu Selanne and Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf.
His mind is still blown. The pain, the confusion and the details are all too clear.

actually i've had some feedback from their feedback system, and they've actually fixed things. but you can't do it on your own. it takes literally hundreds of people angry enough to make the same complaint in the exact same way so that it shows up as a preponderant cause in their system. it's a stupid system, but it has caused a very tiny number of complaints to be acted upon. even if it's left the other 98-99% of complaints to drain onto the floor.

The best place to stay to visit this old venetian city. The hotel is located in one of the nice small streets. Beautiful furnished romantic rooms and a perfectly comfortable bed. The owners are very helpful and nice. This cute hotel gives you a great vibe and lot of positive energy. Finally we stayer longer.
Fanstatic placement in the city, excellent value for money
We had lucky for half price, full price is rather high
Jason hotel was right in the center of Rethymno...everything was under your feet..from museums, shops, bars,restaurants..till the sandy beach which was 50 m from the hotel..and the good thing was that it was situated in a quiet street and you could not hear anything.. the staff was really friendly and helpful and the wi-fi internet was excellent.. the room was excellent..we had a big apartment which was more comfortable than my house...it was really value for money...Jason hotel is good for everyone.. from the younger ones that have all the bars close to them, till the older ones with the museums and beach under their feet..i would definitely chose Jason hotel again!
everything was excellent!
Jason hotel is at the same time very central and just 5mins from the most popular sandy beach in Rethymnon. The studio was very spacious, well-equipped , clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is also a big pool and the breakfast was fresh and with a good selection. There was very fast WIFI/internet connection in all the hotel. Free parking in the marina, just 5mins from the hotel and the most important of all is that despite it being very central, it is very quiet and relaxing. I would surely recommend it to people who want a hotel which is central, quiet, very close to the beach and shops and value for money.
The hotel is in an excellent location, within easy walking distance of the old town with its shops and tavernas.
The breakfast on offer is of very poor quality and the total absence of any staff to clear away dishes means that the breakfast room becomes somewhat squalid.
Very good service staff on reception, beautiful main hall and little garden
All rooms and other premises need renovation, furniture is seem like relative new but not convenient. Air conditioner works strange, it is impossible to setup it do not blow directly to the bed. Room service is careless. Parking near the hotel after 3.00-4.00 p.m. is very difficult. There is no gym in the hotel. Definitely not four stars.
Location was good, room was large and the balcony was large and with quite sorroundings.
No refrigeration to keep cold drinks
Free secure parking on site. Good to walk straight into the old town. Good layout and pool.
The charm of the interior decoration, the relative quiet, and the proximity to all one wishes to experience in the city of Rethymno.A refreshing alternative to 'standardization, sterility of large 'international' chain hotels.
the same price for my accommodation, as single occupant, for my room as my travel acqauintances paid for their double!
The friendliness of the staff and the location were a big plus for us, being between the Old Town and the Beach. One huge plus though was the quietness of the situation which was wonderful.
The day bed in the room could have been more comfortable with a couple of cushions .
We enjoyed being in this hotel, the stuff do as well as they can to assist the guests
H εξηπηρέτηση των υπαλληλων ηταν ιδιετερη και μασ ακανε να νιωσουμε ανετα.
πιστευω πως ισως στην εξηπηρετηση του bar στην πισινα να βελτιωθει λιγακι.
everything was ok, we had a nice stay, the hotel staff was very kind and helpfull. this is my first choice for rethymno.bravo.

Great plug-in thank you.
I cant remove the download links next to where the video is embeded. Is there an option I am missing?
In my case I would rather not give users that option if possible. I cant seem to find a way to remove the links.
Thanks for any guidance.

Also I cannot get the plugin to work as I get 'you do not have permission to access this page. EDIT That's when I try moving the image from the root to a folder within the uploads folder and then try add from server to shift it to the library.
Anyone help? I'm going round in circles trying to get a whole bunch of pictures already in a folder to be recognized by the stupid media library! They're right there!!! :-)

Corn on the Cob
When we think of the Fourth of July side dishes, we think of corn on the cob. Our Fourth of July sides feature corn on the cob grilled with herbs, slathered with flavored butter, and baked in corn pudding -- plus plenty of other variations!See Popular Corn on the Cob Recipes

Perfect Corn On The Cob: What's The Secret?
When it comes right down to it, there's really only one "secret" to perfect corn on the cob: Buy it fresh. I come from New Jersey, where summer corn is so sweet you can slice it right off the cob and into your salad -- raw -- and for the rest of your life, that bright, snappy flavor haunts your memory (along with the smell of Aqua Net and the sound of 1,000 meatheads misunderstanding the actual meaning behind "Born in the U.S.A.").
31 Days of Great Grilling: Mexican Corn on the Cob
Mexican street vendors know the secret of grilled corn, the country's favorite "to-go" snack. It's in the chili powder, the mayo, and the special Cotija cheese, ingredients that when paired with the great taste of grilled corn keeps 'em coming back for more. If you love backyard grilling, and go wild for fresh sweet corn every year, don't be put off by any perceived complications in this great grilled dish.

Just as other major cities, Detroit hosts a Summer Jamz concert that brings out big names. Last night Detroit radio station Hot 107.5 was scheduled to have major artists such as B.O.B, Rico Love, Sevyn Streeter, and should have been Rick Ross. According to reports, Rick Ross showed up to Chene Park and was greeted by 100 men who were not going to let Ross perform on stage. Word on the street is that Detroit rap legend Trick Trick was the one who called that shot. Now for those who don't know what the No Fly Zone is let me give some info on the back story. Continue reading Rick Ross Is Placed On Detroit's No Fly Zone, Fears For His Life List & Responds On Twitter
This guy right here has been doing his thing in the music industry for a minute. Detroit's own Big Gov of Black Guvernment has been making moves for years. Big Gov grew up in Detroit Michigan, where he began to cultivate his love for music, being brought up in
a musical household. His father, Greg Finley was a part of the R&B group "The Five Special". Who were signed to Elektra Records in the late 70's. "The Five Special" had a hit single ("Why Leave Us Alone") which hit #9 on the R&B charts in 1980, the year Gov was born.
At the age of five, Gov had the experience of recording his first song. From that point on, hip-hop has always been a part of his life. His older cousins and one particular mentor were all in rap groups.
Through his adolescence years, Gov would find the challenge of proving his talent. Years later after Gov had several professional studio recordings, they finally took him serious. From that alone, his love for music and his passion to entertain has enabled him to grow into the rap artist, producer, and performer he is today. To help mold his craft, Gov grew up listening to old school music; with the impressions of artist such as Issac Hayes, Curtis Mayfield, Rick James, and Prince. He calls those artist's music "authentic and real music". I can agree with that view! Check out more on this artist below.
To kick off the first Music Monday Artist Spotlight we have a rapper from the city of Detroit who goes by the name T Villa. He has been acknowledged by Maybach Music Group and NBA player Jamal Crawford. People are recognizing his talents and he is doing it all without a major record deal. Inspired by his hard work and determination, he has coined the phrase G.M.A.O (Grinding My Ass Off). With over 5,500 Twitter followers and 352 YouTube subscribers, he has created a hot buzz in the streets. Check out more about T Villa below.
I absolutely adored Aaliyah's raw talent. She was definitely one in a million to a lot of people. She is very well respected in the music game today. It will be 13 years this August since baby girl has been gone. I still remember the news about her death, it was devastating as I was a fan of her music and she was from my hometown Detroit, MI. There has been talks of a biopic for years now and it looks like it has finally got the green light.

Another reason I have chosen to study Orthodox Christianity over the other versions of Christianity is the claim of being the Original church.I was wondering if anyone was aware of this unbroken chain. What is the linkage between the disciples and the Orthodox Church. The Roman Catholics claim Peter, the Coptics claim Mark, how do the other Orthodox Churchs (Greek, Syrian, Ethopian, India) fit into this unbroken chain of transmission of knowledge back to Jesus and to which disciple???If you can point to any book which might expound on this issue, in terms of all the different Orthodox Churchs, I would gladly appreciate it.Thanks in advance.

Auburn cornerback Jerraud Powers was a 6-year-old the last time he bit by a dog. Until this past weekend.
With less than three minutes in the game, Powers was in the vicinity of an incomplete pass by Alabamas John Parker Wilson. While Powers was celebrating, a police dog guided by a state trooper attacked Powers left hand. Perhaps the dog is an Alabama fan...

Rich & Skinny Jeans
Emmanuelle Chriqui in Rich & Skinny
Emmanuelle Chriqui did some shopping in Beverly Hills. Since the end of Entourage, not only has Emmanuelle been busy with work, she also has been busy trying to save the planet! She recently revealed that she's a board member of the Environmental Media Association, which is comprised of actors and musicians who work on different environmental projects, including planting organic gardens in LA area schools.
Emmanuelle seems to be a fan of printed jeans! She recently wore a pair of Frankie B Sequin Skinny jeans on the red carpet but this time opted for a pair by Rich & Skinny. She wore a pair of Rich & Skinny camouflage cargo pants. You can buy Rich & Skinny cargos online at Richandskinnyjeans.com.
Eva Longoria in Rich & Skinny
Eva Longoria went on a shopping spree in the South Beach area of Miami Beach in Florida for her boyfriend. Eva's boyfriend was actually spotted jet skiing while she was gift shopping.
I actually like this casual and easy look on her. She wore a pair of Rich & Skinny denim shorts with a looser fitting long sleeve sweater and wedges. It's so simple but it looks really good! I'm loving her contrasting nail colours too!

Giada De Laurentiis in Rich & Skinny
Giada De Laurentiis was seen shopping at a local farmer's market. Giada hammed it up for the cameras as she filmed scenes for her cooking show. I love trying her recipes, they're always super easy to make and delicious!
Giada wore a striped cardigan and boyfriend style jeans, with a pair of sandals. Her jeans are by Rich & Skinny. While I think that this is a cute outfit, I don't think her boyfriend style jeans are the most flattering on her, hopefully they look better on TV!

Brooke Mueller in Rich & Skinny
Charlie Sheen's ex girlfriend, Brooke Mueller, took their twins Max and Bob shopping at The Grove in Los Angeles, California a few days ago. Brooke was wearing a pair of Rich & Skinny Legacy Leggings in Rinse wash with boots, a printed tee and a jacket. I can't say I am a big fan of this look but I do love the Rich & Skinny leggings.
Rich & Skinny make such amazing jeans! I find the brand fits me really well and they have some very unique styles that I adore. My favourite has to be the skinny denim cargos, I've been wearing those everywhere and I can't get enough of them. You can read my review on them here and you can buy Rich & Skinny jeans on their website here.

Drug Safety:
As far as drugs go, the worst we get is weed and that's once every blue moon. Most of the students who smoke opt for hookah anyway. Most underage students on campus are comfortable drinking but no one pressures you into it if they are.There are very few incidents where RA's have to bust parties because most of the parties happen off campus. Also the students 21 and over are allowed to drink only if their entire apartment is of age. For example you'll get a policy violation if you're drinking in your common room even if no one else is there because there's a no alcohol or alcohol paraphernalia policy. Also we have triple and single rooms. You're only allowed to drink in your bedroom if your other two roommates are of age or if you have a single room.
Drug Safety:
People at my school don't pressure you into smoking or anything for that matter. You have to be outgoing to find someone who smokes because they're not easily identifiable. Other than Marijuana and Alcohol there aren't any drugs used on campus as far as I know.
Drug Safety:
Drug and alcohol safety are covered at the beginning of each semester. We do have inspections and they really do enforce the rules here.

At the Forge - RSpec
Last month, I covered Shoulda, a Ruby gem that allows you to test your code using a method called behavior-driven development. BDD, as it is known, is closely related to test-driven development (TDD), which has become increasingly popular during the past few years, particularly within the Ruby community.
In both BDD and TDD, you start to program by writing a test that the program should pass, if it's working correctly. Of course, because the program hasn't been written yet, the test will fail. You then write the smallest amount of code possible to ensure that the test passes. When that happens, you continue coding by writing another test. The fact that your code is tested completely gives you the confidence and flexibility to "refactor", moving code around and joining it together, without having to worry about introducing new, subtle bugs.
BDD differs from TDD not in its overall method, but rather in its approach and semantics. BDD concentrates on how things look from the outside, rather than from the inside of the code. In the case of a Web application, this often means looking at things from the user's perspective, or if you're a consultant, from the customer's perspective. No longer are you testing the code—instead, you are checking that it meets its specifications. Thus, working with BDD requires that you constantly think of yourself as a consumer of a particular piece of code, and that you consider what it should do at each point, if it is to work correctly. I intentionally use the word should here, because as you will see, that is an especially important word in the RSpec vocabulary, and it appears in nearly every test.
RSpec has become quite popular among Ruby programmers in general and Rails programmers in particular. It also is closely tied to several other high-quality testing technologies, such as Cucumber and Celerity, which I will explore in coming months. And, although RSpec is not everyone's cup of tea, it is popular enough that you should expect to encounter it if you do any Ruby development. Moreover, it is often good to try something different, and RSpec definitely is different, providing a new way of looking at testing.
The home page for RSpec is rspec.info, which contains instructions for installing RSpec, either on its own or as part of a Rails application. I'm looking at a simple Rails application this month as an example, so you need to install both parts.
The first requirement is installing two Ruby gems, both of which are stored on the popular repository for open-source projects, GitHub. You can install these gems with:
sudo gem install rspec rspec-rails -V --source ↪http://gems.github.com/
(If you already have installed GitHub as a source for gem installations, you don't need to specify it in this command.)
Note that if you have older RSpec-related gems installed, such as rspec_generator or spicycode_rspec_extensions, you probably should remove them from your system. Current versions of RSpec handle these functions for you, and I have encountered problems and conflicts that disappeared when I removed those old gems.
Now that you have RSpec installed, let's create a new, simple Rails project. I often like to use an address book (and appointment calendar) for my examples, so let's create one:
rails --database=postgresql appointments
Remember, Rails assumes you have three databases for your application, one each for the development, test and production environments. The database parameters are defined in config/database.yml. I assume you are able to set these configuration parameters correctly. Although you don't necessarily need a production database for the purposes of this column, you will need both development and test databases.
Now you must tell the Rails application to include RSpec. There are plugins for RSpec, but I generally prefer to use gems when possible. Modern versions of Rails allow you to include gems in config/environment.rb by adding the following two lines:
config.gem "rspec", :lib => false, :version => ">= 1.2.0" config.gem "rspec-rails", :lib => false, :version => ">= 1.2.0"
With the gems in place, you now can put RSpec in place for your Rails application:
./script/generate rspec
This creates a spec directory (parallel to the test directory, which it effectively replaces). The spec directory contains, by default, three files:
rcov.opts: setting options for running the Ruby coverage tool rcov when run from within RSpec.
rspec.opts: setting options for RSpec itself.
spec_helper.rb: a Ruby file containing global definitions and configurations for the individual specifications, much like test_helper.rb performs in Test::Unit.
With the spec directory in place, you can begin to use the special RSpec generators for models, controllers and scaffolds. For example, you normally would generate a person model with:
./script/generate model person first_name:text last_name:text
This still will work, but any automatically generated tests will use Test::Unit, installing files into the test directory. By contrast, you can use:
./script/generate rspec_model person first_name:text last_name:text
This creates the same model file, but also creates a skeleton set of RSpec tests.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Greece Gets More Time To Dig Out Of Deficit
Eurozone finance ministers have decided to give Greece two more years, until 2016, to turn around their budget deficit. What eurozone leaders did not agree on is whether to release more aid to Greece — money that's needed as its outstanding loans come due.
NPR's business news starts with a small reprieve for Greece.
Eurozone finance ministers decided yesterday to give Greece more time to turn around its budget deficit. The financially challenged government will have an additional two years, until 2016, to run a primary budget surplus, which does not include debt servicing. What eurozone leaders did not agree upon is whether and when they would release more aid to Greece - money that's needed as its outstanding loans come due. That decision is now expected on November 20th.

How can I have sticky posts on top of the first page, but still *counted* towards the posts_per_page limit, rather than them being shown *in addition* to the number of posts defined with posts_per_page?
Speaking in SQL, how do I fake what would be as simple as "ORDER BY post_sticky DESC" if post_sticky were a column in wp_posts?
Use case: the template has no special room for sticky posts (indicates them with an overlay icon instead), and represents posts as large icon-like elements ("tiles") in a 3x3 grid, so there must be no more than 9 posts per page in any circumstances.
