text: I am using the Responsive layout with the custom front page under theme options. I changed the width of the container smaller so now it looks awkward because content area and featured content are not the same width. I would like to remove the split frame of the content area and featured content, so that they flow underneath each other instead (like it would look like on a vertical phone/table). I found the #featured section in css but I don't know what to do. Help? Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
I have a couple of questions which are hendering my progress.
first question: After going through the many many themes, I finally found one (actually two) that I like, but when I upload it I get the following error but when I view site, It looks perfect! If I use this theme despite the error msg, do you think it would cause me problems later on? The error is as follows:
Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
Stylesheet is missing.
Second question:
I've read in the blogging book that I reference (blogging for dummies) that having RSS capability is very important. The second theme that I'll settle for if the first is not usable, does not have an RSS button. Is having an existing RSS button important to choosing a theme or can I SIMPLY (very new at this) add the RSS feature to any theme?
Just a note: after reloading the first theme that gives the stylesheet error several times, I tried different themes just to make sure I was loading correctly, and got no errors so it's something weird with that particular theme.
Please help.

- the bow is too empty, desperately needs a decent forecastle - a Caribbean Clipper-style build-up with a single hatch in the middle would suffice - those sailors have to sleep SOMEWHERE...
- where's the anchor?
- I'm not too happy about the sails - as many have stated before, the Jolly Roger looks childish, plus they're printed only on one side - which is especially annoying with the front sail - the ship looks worse if you look at it from its starboard side.
- the chain holding the front sail - a rope would be better, fortunately this can be easily arranged
- the sterncastle makes up for most of the flaws, I absolutely love its design and the way you can access it or remove it. The only minor flaw is the cannon, it doesn't really fit in there, but you can always remove it so it's not a big deal. Actually if I were to choose the best-looking sterncastle of all the Pirate-themed ships, that would be this one.
- the room below the sterncastle, with the rat and grog - it's great you can access it for better playability. That's what bothered me with later ships of the first Pirate era - they were all open, didn't have any accessible rooms, doors, hatches etc.
- minifigs - great looking, and I always wanted to have a mermaid The crew of the ship itself is a bit too small but we get two soldiers instead for better diversity so I'm not complaining.
- the middle part of the ship - cannons, the short ladders leading to the captain's cabin, the arched entrances to the aforementioned "rat room" - I'd say that's more than enough cool details
- it's a great part-pack, with many not-so-common pieces in interesting colours
- the overall look of the ship - she's a real beauty, if you don't look too closely at the sails that is
Overall it's a nice vessel, not as good as BSB or SES but pretty close. It's at least two times better than the RBR which was a HUGE disappointment.
I'm thinking of modifying mine a bit - adding an anchor, forecastle, some details inside the captain's quarters (not the outside which is perfect for my taste). I think I'll change the sails for white customs, remove the pirate flags and turn it into a merchant or maybe Imperial vessel. But I'm definitely not dismantling her completely - there's way too many cool features.
I'd finally like to add that it was an almost magical experiance for me - I mean, bulding a NEW Pirate ship, which is not a MOC but an actual SET, after so many years of complete void (forget the 4+ and Duplo stuff). Actually I celebrated every step of the instruction, didn't want to rush through it, I wanted it to be a memorable moment. I had about two and a half hours to build it before I had to leave, and I didn't complete it during the time given - I had to finish it in the evening when I was back home...

In an educational context characterised by globalisation, reputation constitutes a crucial issue for today's higher education institutions. Internationalisation of higher education is often seen as a potential response to globalisation and, consequently, higher education has become increasingly internationalised during the past decade. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between internationalisation and reputation in top higher education institutions. Results reveal that internationalisation positively influences a university's reputation but also moderates the relationship between the institution's reputation and its institutional performance with regard to research quality, teaching quality and graduate employability.

'Moorish revival'
There are 11 comments on the BBC Europe Edition story from Jul 22, 2010, titled 'Moorish revival'. In it, BBC Europe Edition reports that:
A thousand years ago North African Muslims ruled southern Spain. Now some of their descendants are contributing to a "Moorish revival" that is regenerating parts of Andalucia, says the BBC's Sylvia Smith.

It's good to see that Spaniards are getting in touch with their North African Moorish roots, there's not shame in that.

Right, becuase most Spaniards are of North Africa origins..*rolls eyes. First of all, the moorish muslims were expulsed and many parts of Spain were resettled by Spaniards from the North along with Europeans from other countries. That's not to say there is no moorish blood in the south of Spain. There is. But it does not dominate their ancestry. They are still genetically closest to adajacent European nations. Also the article is misleading beacuse in many areas of Spain there is a lot racism against North Africans and Arabs.

Okay true many were expelled but not before eternally leaving their genetic signature in the gene pool in the majority of Spaniards.
Also we can't forget that even the Iberians themselves were said to be short, stocky, brown people who most likely originate from North Africa; and these are supposed to be Spains natives, the same natives that give Spain it's Iberian Peninsula name.
Spaniards are some of the most genetically African people of Europe.
There's no distinguishing Southern Spaniards from North Africans.
Only the Northern Galicia region of Spain is pure.

North African genes are not in the majority of the Spanish gene pool. People have alway exagerrated this.
"A number of studies focus on the genetic impact of the centuries of Muslim rule in the Iberian peninsula on the genetic make up of the modern Iberian population. Iberia has (with Sicily) with the greatest presence of the typically Northwest African Y-chromosome haplotype marker E-M81 in Europe.[38][39] and Haplotype Va.[40] A thorough Y-chromosome analysis of the Iberian peninsula reveals that haplotype E-M81 surpasses frequencies of 10% in Southern Iberia.[41] As for Mtdna analysis (Mitochondrial DNA), although present at only low levels, Iberia has much higher frequencies of typically North African Haplogroup U6 than those generally observed in Europe.[42][42][43][43][44][45 ] It is difficult to ascertain that U6's presence is the consequence of Islam's expansion into Europe during the Middle Ages.[44]
A wide ranging study (published 2007) using 6,501 unrelated Y-chromosome samples from 81 populations found that: "Considering both these E-M78 sub-haplogroups (E-V12, E-V22, E-V65) and the E-M81 haplogroup, the contribution of northern African lineages to the entire male gene pool of Iberia is 5.6%."[46]
"Overall, a European wide study including Spaniards states: No significant correlation is apparent between North African admixture and geography. Genetic exchanges across the Mediterranean Sea, and especially in its western-most part where the geographic distance between continents is smallest (Spain), seem to have been limited or very limited, establishing the North African contribution at 2.5% to 3.4%"
I don't know where the Iberians originate from but they eventually spread over much of western Europe and were among the first settlers in Britain. Genetic signatures in the British Isles bear this out. Spain also has the highest concentration of R1b which is predominant over Western Europe.
Spain was not just settled by Iberians but by Celts and Germanic peoples who STAYED. MOST of the the moors were expelled and not a few settled in France which was also invaded by the Moors to a lesser extent.
Also who were the Moors really? They were mostly Berbers with some Arabs and Blacks and some captured Slavic and Frankish slaves. The Berbers are mostly of European Cro Magnon origin who feld to North Africa during the Ice Age some are even blond with light eyes! Here is a berber couple with their daughter.
And you say only the Galicians are pure? With Spain having seen the settlement of Greeks, Poenicians, Celts, Romans, Visigoths, Suevi, Moors etc. Who the hell is pure?? Do you think the French are pure?? Lol.

Hi All,
I'm having some serious issues with the Network Solutions/WP relationship. Here's what's going on:
--I'm trying to set-up my parents' website. I have my domain pointed to my WP hosting package, but it goes to a "under construction" page. I tried to edit the DNS so that it points to WP servers, and that didnt work. I still get an "under construction" page.
--When I log into WordPress, the URL is xxx.netsolhost.com. When I publish a page, it's xxx.netsolhost.com/about, but I want it to be thesupporteconomy.com/about.
How do I fix these issues? I've been working on this for days, and I have no idea what is going on. I've never had this much trouble with WP. If anyone can help me, I will be eternally grateful.

Read over WG-003 and you will need to complete and file WG-006 & WG-007 with the levying officer. After they are filed, the creditor will have an opportunity to object. If they do, then there will be a hearing on the matter. You will have to show that the garnished wages are necessary to support the necessities for your family.See question

Assuming that you entered into this contract with him as an individual, you would be limited in Small Claims Court to $10,000. You cannot file multiple actions in small claims when they stem from the same contract. This case would need to be filed in Superior Court, but it appears as though there might be an issue with the Statute of Limitations. You need to contact an attorney who can review the facts of your case and properly advise you of your options.See question

You say that you have been placed in collections, but has there been an entry made on your credit report? I agree with my colleague, you should have an attorney correspond with the hospital to fix their mistake. A letter should also be sent to the credit reporting agency, assuming an entry has been made, requesting that the negative entry be removed immediately. If this does not remedy the situation, then you should consider other alternatives, such as filing a suit against them. A consultation with an attorney should be free.See question

Defective notice is a defense to assert if you go to trial. If successful, it can cause the landlord to have to start the case over again and serve you another 3 day notice. You should consult with a landlord/tenant attorney to review your case.
For some additional information, take a look at this link to the CA Superior Court website, it lays out what is required in the 3 day notice. These requirements are also listed in California Code of Civil Procedure 1161.

Do you struggle with what to pack for snacks and lunches in a nut-free school zone? Here are some practical tips to help make it easier. Read more
It's back-to-school time and stores are stocked with the essentials to gear up for the new school year, including convenient snacks to help fuel growing minds and bodies. With "all-natural," "low-fat" and "low-sugar" labels becoming more and more prevalent, supposedly healthy snacks may seem like a great addition to your child's lunchbox. But before you place one in your cart, take the time to read the ingredient list and nutrition label — you may be surprised by a long list of refined and artificial ingredients. Read more
It's the end of a busy school day and your kids come home with a hankering for one of the usual culprits — pizza, tacos, maybe chicken tenders. These fast-food staples may not hold the title of Healthiest Dinner on the Block, but with a few simple modifications, your kids' favorite finger foods can become wholesome homemade dishes. Ease back into a busy fall schedule with these quick, kid-friendly dishes you can feel good about eating.
Chickpea Crust Pizza
With a few alterations, family pizza night can be a healthy tradition rather than a once-in-a-blue-moon indulgence. Food Network Kitchen fortifies the classic finger food with a high-fiber chickpea-flour crust. For a classic presentation, top it off with crushed tomatoes, provolone cheese and chicken sausage (which is significantly leaner than pork or beef). Gluten-free households can rely on this as their go-to pizza recipe, but it's also ideal for families simply looking to trim back calories at dinnertime, as the recipe serves four and contains just 274 calories per serving.
The combination of crunchy toasted seeds, creamy nut butter, and chewy millet and dates makes this protein bar both energizing and satisfying. Packed with superfoods like chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds and cacao, it's the perfect afternoon snack to get you and your family through until dinner. I also added some maca root powder (a South American superfood), but you could add any other superfood or protein powders you like, or simply leave it out. Read more
This school year, why not up the healthy standards of your kids' snacks? Sure, there are choices everywhere on supermarket shelves, but none are as healthy as the ones you can control yourself — and cook up in your own kitchen. When you're popping popcorn, shaping pizza crust and rolling oat balls, your kids will want to get in on the snack-making fun, and before you know it, they'll be asking to make more. Bonus: The whole family gets to spend some quality time together. Read more
Hands up if PB&J is a lunchtime staple for your family. Mine! If so, you know how simple, quick and delicious the classic PB&J sandwich can be. But sometimes even a classic needs jazzing up a bit, and that's where these five fabulous spins on PB&J come into play. Lunch is served! Read more
Now that the kids are back in school, making sure they have plenty to drink is always on parents' to-do list. Juice boxes are a popular beverage to pack into your little ones' lunchboxes, but are they really a healthy choice? Read more
It's back-to-school time, which means your kids are likely getting off the school bus tired and hungry. Before you reach for the box of Goldfish, consider this: Kids need the same combination of fiber, protein and fat in a snack that you do. This winning combination will keep your child full, focused and filled with energy. Here are seven healthy snacks guaranteed to please even the pickiest eaters; some even let your kids join in on the fun! Read more
Getting back into the swing of the school year takes time. Just getting the kids out the door with their teeth brushed, shoes on and homework in tow is an ambitious feat to pull off every day — and you better bet sitting down to a nice family breakfast straight out of the movies isn't about to become a daily ritual either. Make busy mornings a whole lot easier by dropping the kids off at school — or the bus stop — with healthy take-to-school breakfast recipes that will keep them full and focused until lunchtime.
Take the stress out of mornings by baking at night or during the weekend. Ellie Krieger's easy, no-butter Apple Muffins are made with whole-wheat pastry flour and loaded up with nourishing pecans and chunks of Golden Delicious apples. Ellie swaps the butter out for applesauce, which keeps the muffins moist and fruity without adding fat. Send your little ones off with these muffins and they'll be set for the morning.
When your kids arrive home from school, they can often be super-hungry. It's the perfect time to give them a healthy snack filled with nutrients needed for proper growth and development. You might want to think twice about what you're serving, though, as what you think is healthy unfortunately might be anything but. These seemingly good-for-you snacks aren't as healthy as you think.

I am going to bold the one point that put me in stitches.Gun buybacks a noble idea that always misfires
Alex Tabarrok
Article Created: 02/23/2008 02:44:15 AM PST
On Feb. 9, Oakland police, led by state Sen. Don Perata, D-Oakland, offered to buy handguns and assault weapons for $250 each, "no questions asked, no ID required." The "One Less Gun" buyback program attracted so many eager sellers that the money quickly ran out, but instead of closing up shop, the police handed out IOUs good for a future buyback. The Oakland police are now stuck with a bill for $170,000.
The buyback has been criticized as a poorly organized fiasco, but even the critics say it was "the right idea" and "a step in the right direction."
On the contrary, the buyback was a bad idea from the beginning. Gun buybacks have been tried before, in cities from Seattle to Washington, D.C., and they simply don't work.
In an authoritative study, the National Academy of Sciences reported that "the theory underlying gun buy-back programs is badly flawed and the empirical evidence demonstrates the ineffectiveness of these programs."
It doesn't take much insight to understand why gun buybacks don't work. Gun buybacks attract low-quality guns from people who aren't likely to use them to commit crimes. The Oakland police, for example, bought a dozen guns from seniors living in an assisted-living facility. Are you relieved to know that Don Perata has disarmed these dangerous senior citizens?
The Oakland buyback was especially absurd because of the high price offered: $250.
Did no one running the program think to look at the price of a new gun? In fact, the first two people in line at one of the three buyback locations were gun dealers with 60 firearms packed in the trunk of their car.
One wonders why the police even bothered to buy the guns from Oakland residents. Why not buy directly from gun manufacturers?
Of course, buying guns from gun manufacturers is so obviously an absurd way to reduce the supply of guns that it has never been proposed.
Nevertheless, the idea is no less absurd when Oakland residents serve as the middlemen between the manufacturers and the police.
Buying a few thousand guns in Oakland is not going to make it more difficult for criminals in Oakland to get a gun.
There are 150 to 200 million guns in the United States, so there are plenty of low-quality guns to be sold. An Oakland gun buyback is like trying to drain the Pacific every bucket of water you take out is instantly replaced. Even large gun-buyback programs are unlikely to have significant effects. Australia spent half a billion dollars buying guns, with no significant effect on homicides by firearm.
Imagine that instead of guns, the Oakland police decided, for whatever strange reason, to buy back sneakers. The idea of a gun buyback is to reduce the supply of guns in Oakland. Do you think that a sneaker buyback program would reduce the number of people wearing sneakers in Oakland? Of course not.
All that would happen is that people would reach into the back of their closet and sell the police a bunch of old, tired, stinky sneakers.
Gun buybacks won't reduce the number of guns in Oakland. In fact, buybacks may increase the number of guns in Oakland.
Imagine that gun dealers offered a guarantee with every gun: Whenever this gun gets old and wears down, the dealer will buy back the gun for $250.
The dealer's guarantee makes guns more valuable, so people will buy more guns.
But the story is exactly the same when it's the police offering the guarantee. If buyers know that they can sell their old guns in a buyback, they are more likely to buy new guns. Thus the more common that gun buybacks become, the more likely they are to misfire.
Recognizing that gun buybacks don't work is neither pro- nor anti-gun. We all want to reduce gun crime in Oakland. Yet the Oakland police and concerned private citizens have spent $250,000 on a policy that doesn't work and that everyone who has studied the issue knows does not work.
The guns bought in this buyback are destined to be melted down to create a monument.
It's a shame that this monument will be the only lasting effect of the buyback.

Let's face it, anyone who comes up with one of these silly programs in the first place isn't a real deep thinker.....
ya know......?
I never thought about using these silly programs to make money!
I should go to the store, buy a bunch of cheap surplus rifles for 80 bucks a pop then sell them to the buy back program!
I could make a killing!

Lorcins, Ravens, Phoenix Arms, etc...$50 cash each.
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
... then you could set up just across the street and offer a nice new Taurus for $250 OTD!

I'd sell one or two for $250. Around here the buyback is usually a $50 grocery card. A local talk show host asks people to call him first, he'll pay $50 cash if it's something he wants...
I wish they would come to my town. I've got a few I would sell off for twofifty. Maybe they will do a holster buyback program too. I would surely welcome that one!

Man I wish they would do that up here. I lots of guns I would turn in for $250.00 each. Lets see, two $70.00 Mozin Nagants for $250.00 a piece = one very nice AK47. Hmmmmmm come on Montana get smart and get those guns of the street! Oh I have a Raven 25acp that could be used for a case and a half of ammo.

I guess it will be really interesting when that $170,000 bill comes due...
Ah nice to hear good news.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.
The local PD did this a few years ago while I was working at a small gunshop. It was $100 for any "assault weapon", $50 for anything else. My job was to strip the parts out of the Ravens or Lorcins we bought for like $29 each, and the $50 SKSs (boy, those were the days) One of the regular customers went with a handful of cash and the Blue Book and made offers to some folks, while I helped carry the stripped guns inside. We bought a few guns, including a fine Officers Model Match Colt and an Ace .22 that I still own. I believe the other shops in town were doing the same thing and that event probably cost them more than they figured.
FWIW, I don't feel like my actions, or the actions of my employer at the time had any effect on the number of guns on the street, or the number of guns in the hands of criminals.

DESPITE extensive research and development of different types of artificial oxygenators, the actual capabilities of present designs do not approach closely enough the requirements of the ideal oxygenator, and much remains to be accomplished in this field. Although many important improvements have been made in the recent past, the problems of destruction of the formed elements of the blood and denaturation of plasma proteins are yet to be overcome. Many types of pump-oxygenators are now available which are capable of assuming complete pulmonary function for limited periods without causing extensive damage to the blood. Such units are sufficiently gentle in their treatment of blood so that massive denaturation of plasma proteins and damage to the red cells occurs after extended periods of artificial circulation.4,6,9 It is the latter which presents the most serious problem, particularly in consideration of prolonged partial bypass as might be used for failure of the

PELL CITY, Ala. (AP) - U.S. postal inspectors have arrested two men they believe mailed eight letters containing white powder at the Pell City post office.
Authorities say 38-year-old Clifton Lamar Dodd and 38-year-old Milstead Earl Darden had an initial court appearance Monday on charges of mailing hoax letters.
Dodd is also suspected of mailing 17 letters containing white powder in March and April to authorities, inmates and politicians like U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, in Birmingham.
According to an affidavit, postal inspectors and federal agents monitored Dodd and Darden on Saturday, after receiving a tip that they planned to mail powder letters.
They followed the two men to the Pell City post office and
observed Dodd get out, walk to the drop boxes and leave.
Investigators later found eight letters leaking white powder.

Metronidazole is currently approved for use against Trichomonas infection and amebiasis. It is also effective against giardiasis, "nonspecific vaginitis," and anaerobic infections and bactericidal against almost all obligately anaerobic organisms; Actinomyces, Arachnia, and Propionibacterium are exceptions. Metronidazole diffuses well into all tissues and penetrates the central nervous system well. It normally has only a relatively minor impact on the colonic flora. The drug is well tolerated. Adverse reactions include reversible neutropenia, peripheral neuropathy, and disulfiram-like reaction when taken with alcohol. Of more concern are its mutagenicity and carcinogenicity in some, but not all, animals. These are considered low risks, and follow-up studies of patients treated to date do not reveal an increased incidence of cancer, but physicians and patients must decide whether the benefit from therapy outweighs the potential risk. Metronidazole should only be used for approved indications, except in the research setting, and should not be used prophylactically, although it is effective.

Community Safety Officers (CSOs) are ever-present and are the sweetest human beings on planet earth. They hand out trading cards with their pictures and interests on them!! They even have game nights!! I've never heard of a student who had a bad interaction with a CSO. They do have to report you if they catch you doing anything that violates the AOD policy, but unless you are VERY blatant with your substance use chances are you won't get caught.
The administration truly cares about students and isn't just a faceless bureaucracy like at some schools.
Expects students to behave like adults.
Sometimes good, sometimes very very bad
Say, theoretically, your friend is puking so hard that the puking scene from the Exorcist looks like casual drooling. Say, theoretically, you also happen to be inebriated, but in a functional way. Your friend definitely needs hep, but are you going to get in trouble for calling campus security to help out? Nah. Reed has a great medical amnesty policy, so you will not get in trouble for getting help for your friend. Reed has a somewhat contentious relationship with the Portland Police Department, in which the police aren't called, unless in a very serious, violent situation. In the case of a dumb, drunk college kid, the Campus Security helps out swiftly and courteously. You're not going to get in trouble for something unless you're being obnoxious, stupid, or dangerous. Don't be any of those, and you'll be fine.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
From the outset, Reed College generally appears as an amalgamation of enthusiastic comments and hushed whispers. Some acknowledge Reed as an academic haven, while others murmur under their breath about the College being a breeding ground for an overly-liberal drug culture. Although both points of view may be accurate to some degree, the mutual exclusion of one from the other creates a problem of perspective. Many incorrectly assume that institutions of higher education must either be academically rigorous and reserved or academically relaxed and centered on students' social lives. While students agree that Reed's drug scene exerts a prominent influence on the nature of Reed culture, most Reedies also believe that the culture does not completely overwhelm Reed because of the good relationship between Reed students and Reed Community Safety.
Reed Community Safety Officers come just as their name advertises; they do not dictate the campus—they serve it. The rapport between students and Community Safety allows Reedies to both experiment and feel safe. While knowing that Community Safety does not seek to send them to jail or to eat their wallets alive for making a few mistakes, Reedies feel confident about turning to CSOs when in need. Almost every Reed student respects their Community Safety Officers and loves that they make Reed a safe place to experiment.

Our extensive range of sprung mattresses offers the support you need at a price you can afford.
Inspiration & advice for your bedroom
You'll be sure to get a great night's sleep on one of our high quality sprung mattresses
A sprung mattress (sometimes called Open Coil) is one of the most well used sleeping formats available. They are so popular because they are comfortable and affordable as well as giving all over body support.
Sprung mattresses consist of open coil units within the mattress fillings that provide high level of comfort. The individual coils are joined together in rows to create the product. construction such as this means that when you press down on spring you are actually manoeuvring those around you to give support, because they are connected.
The 'bounce' or feel of sprung mattress is changed using various spring thicknesses and strengths as well as the number of spirals in the coil. Extra rows of coil can be included to give extra support. The design means weight is spread evenly across the surface and in double beds prevents people being pulled together in the middle.
Additionally, where your body is heaviest is where the springs of sprung mattress will press down the most and maximise support.
The sprung mattress is versatile product which can be constructed to suit all degrees of firmness including extra support for problem back.
Don't put up with the strains of your old mattress, get new sprung or pocket sprung mattress and enjoy healthy and comfortable sleep. Our sprung mattresses from leading manufacturers are guaranteed for up to years/a> against normal wear and tear, so you don't have to worry about your mattress springs becoming damaged or losing their shape.

A man checked driving at 206kmh on the Southern Motorway was
travelling at twice the allowable speed limit.
He was a menace on the road and had to be removed, Judge
Kevin Phillips said, disqualifying him from driving for 18
months ''to protect the community''.
Benjamin James Robertson (24), of Dunedin, was before the
Dunedin District Court yesterday convicted of driving at a
dangerous speed on State Highway 1 at Fairfield on November
22 last year.
As well as the disqualification, Robertson was sentenced to
three months' community detention (curfewed 8pm-7am daily),
100 hours' community work and nine months' supervision (with
a special condition to undergo any counselling, treatment or
programme, as directed by probation).
The judge said Robertson had six passengers in the car, one
of them a drunken female lying without a restraint across the
laps of people in the back seat. Robertson kept driving at
206kmh while passing a road maintenance crew.
Counsel Steve Turner said Robertson had been on bail with a
4pm-8am curfew for two months. He had not breached the curfew
and had not driven.
''He says he does not want to drive, that he hasn't the
maturity. He understands that speed kills and is remorseful
for his actions.''
Judge Phillips said by his ''appalling'' conduct, Robertson
was placing other road users, his passengers and himself at
risk. The offending was aggravated by his six previous
driving convictions and further similar offending would bring

Congressional Republicans Launch Push to Defund Planned Parenthood
House Republicans began their effort to de-fund Planned Parenthood Sept. 9 with the first in a series of hearings intended to make the case that the group is illegally harvesting and selling tissue from aborted fetuses, a claim the group vehemently denies.
The hearing in the House Judiciary Committee — titled "Examining the Horrific Abortion Practices at the Nation's Largest Abortion Provider" — is the first of several hearings expected this fall as three House committees pursue investigations of Planned Parenthood. House Republicans also launched a website Wednesday to track their investigations into the group.
Beyond the specific techniques under scrutiny, the hearing became an opportunity to air a broader agenda of reducing abortions generally. Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., opened the hearing with a call for Congress to pass legislation to bar all abortions after five months of gestation, which would "help ensure that the body parts of late-aborted babies cannot be sold because late-term abortions would be generally prohibited."

Table of Contents
Chapter 5: The Periodic Law
Section 1: History of the Periodic TableItalian chemist Stanislao Cannizzaro presented a convincing method for accurately measuring the relative mass of atoms. Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev created a table in which elements with similar properties were grouped together - a periodic table of elements. The best way to do this he found was to organize the elements according to their increasing atomic mass.
English chemsit Henry Moseley improved Mendeleev's periodic table, as he ordered the elements according to atomic number. He found that you were able to see a pattern in the properties better when ordered as so. Mendeleev's principle of chemical periodicity is correcly stated in the periodic law: the physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers.
The periodic table is an arrangement of the elements in order of their atomic numbers so that the elements with similar properties fall in the same column, or group. The noble gases are elements of Group 18. The lanthanides are rare-earth elements, whose atomic numbers range from 58-71. The actinides have atomic numbers from 89-103.
Section 2: Electron Configuration and the Periodic TableBased upon the electron configuration of the elements the table can be divided into four blocks. These blocks represent the different sublevels of electron configuration.
The s-block elements:
- Groups 1-2
- Electron configuration: ns1,2
- Contains the alkali metals (Group 1), and alkaline-earth metals (Group 2)
- Very reactive metals; Group 1 is more reactive than Group 2, but both do not exist in nature as free elements because they are too reactive.
The d-block elements:
- Groups 3-12
- Electron configuration: (n-1)d1-10ns0-2
- transition elements: typical metallic properties
- Good Conductors of electricity and have a high luster; less reactive than the s-block elements; many exist in nature as free elements.
The p-block elements:
- Groups 13-18
- Electron configuration: ns2np1-6
- Combine with s-block elements to become the main-group elements
- Includes nonmetals, metalloids, halogens (Group 17), and noble gases (Group 18).
The f-block elements:
- Lanthanides and Actinides
- Between Groups 3 and 4.
- Between Periods 6 and 7.
- 14 in each; highly similar properties; resemble Group 2 elements.
(Picture from www.mpcfaculty.net)
Section 3: Electron Configuration and Periodic Properties
- Atomic Radii:One-half the distance between nuclei of identical atoms bonded together.
- Period Trend- Decrease across a period.
- Group Trend- Increase down a group.
- Ionization Energy: Energy required to remove one electron from a neutral atom of an element.
- Period Trend- Increase across period.
- Group Trend- Decrease down a group.
- Electron Affinity: Energy change that occurs when an electron is acquired by a neutral atom.
- Period Trend- Becomes more negative across a period.
- Group Trend- More difficult to add electrons down a group.
- Ionic Radii: Common ions of elements and their radii.
- Cation- positive ion.
- Anion- negative ion.
- Period Trend- Left tends to form cations, while the right tends to form anions.
- Group Trend- Increase of ionic radii down a group
- Electronegativity: Measure of the ability of an atom in a chemical compound to attract electrons from another atom in the compound.
- Period Trend- Increase along a period.
- Group Trend- Decrease down a group, or remain the same.
