Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret Morning News
Pamela Atkinson is used to stepping up. Stepping up to speak for communities in need, stepping up on behalf of the homeless, hurricane evacuees.
On Nov. 2, Atkinson will step forward to accept the 2005 Athena Award, given annually by the Salt Lake Chamber, to recognize her contributions to business and the community. Atkinson is the 20th recipient, joining the likes of June Morris of Morris Air, Deborah Bayle of the American Red Cross and former Utah Gov. Olene Walker.
"Pamela is such an icon in our city," said Nancy Mitchell, executive director of the Women's Business Center at the Salt Lake Chamber. "Recently, someone referred to her as the Mother Teresa of Salt Lake City, and I think it's a wonderful description of her."
Atkinson shies away from praise, expressing only "awe" at being this year's Athena winner.
"It was so totally unexpected," Atkinson said. "I believe I was speechless."
The Athena isn't the first honor given to Atkinson. In addition to receiving numerous community awards, the 2003 Utah Legislature established the Pamela Atkinson Homeless Trust Fund (formerly the Homeless Trust Fund), which is funded by the Legislature and charitable contributions to help people move from homelessness to self-sufficiency. In 2003, the Fourth Street Clinic was renamed the Pamela Atkinson Fourth Street Clinic.
Her work on behalf of the homeless and other vulnerable groups are the stuff of local legend. The Athena, however, recognizes a lesser-known side to Atkinson's efforts: her work to connect communities in need with businesses.
"There are people who assist the homeless, and who are very committed to them," Mitchell said. "But Pamela's special niche is that she serves as a liaison between business interests and the homeless. She reminds us that business has to have a healthy and thriving community within which to do business, and in order to have a healthy community, we have to be humanitarians and look after one another."
Atkinson makes it sound simple.
"Businesses in our community are not always aware of what they can accomplish," she said. "I've discovered that if you help businesses understand, first, what the needs are in the community, and second, what possible solutions are, it's amazing how galvanized businesses become in their efforts to help."
But it isn't just asking businesses to donate money, said Zions Bank spokesman Robert Brough. Atkinson serves on the bank's community advisory board, a group of local leaders representing various nonprofit organizations and causes providing social and humanitarian services.
Many community advocates solicit donations, and many businesses respond to those requests, Brough said. But Atkinson goes a few steps further.
"What sets Pamela apart is that, because of her personal involvement in the community, she's able to come forward with very specific ideas and specific needs that we can help to address," Brough said. "It isn't just a request for a check. It's about socks, and people who need luggage."
Several times a year, Zions Bank employees donate new socks, which Atkinson keeps in her car and distributes to people as needed, Brough said. When the bank holds its annual "Paint-A-Thon," where employee volunteers paint the home of someone in need, it donates extra T-shirts made for the event to Atkinson.
"These are the needs that Pamela is able to identify because she knows the people she's helping," Brough said.
Kathy Hillis, vice president of Women's Financial Services at Wells Fargo Bank, which sponsors the Athena Award, said Atkinson "made the corporate world more aware of their responsibilities."

In response to Roche's hostile acquisition offer, Illumina's board of directors has adopted a shareholders rights agreement, or poison pill. The Illumina board decided to go down this route to ensure that its stockholders receive fair treatment and protection in connection with any proposal to acquire the company and to provide stockholders with adequate time to properly assess any such proposal or without undue pressure while also safeguarding their opportunity to realize the long-term value of their investment in the company, explains Jay Flatley, CEO of Illumina.
Yesterday, Roche went public with a $5.7 billion bid for the company after spending a month trying to engage Illumina management in private discussions. Bloomberg reports that according to Robert W. Baird & Co. and Water Island Capital LLC, "Roche, the world's biggest maker of cancer drugs, could eventually pay $60 a share, or 35 percent more than the current proposal." Roche offered $44.5 per share, a 64% premium over Illumina's stock value on December 21, 2011. Illumina's stock price jumped as high as $55.32 during trading yesterday and closed at $55.04.
Roche is no stranger to mega mergers or to bidding wars. It spent about eight months haggling with Genentech, finally winning the company over with $95 per share in March 2009 after starting at $89 per share. The total value of the final purchase, which covered the 45% of Genentech that Roche didn't already own, was $46.8 billion.
Back in 2007, Roche tried to pick up Ventana Medical Systems, and that takeover tug of war lasted almost five months. Ventana finally agreed to a $3.4 billion agreement, in which Roche upped its bid 19.33% to ink a definitive merger agreement at $89.50 per share.
While Genentech significantly boosted Roche's biologics business, Ventana added molecular diagnostic capabilities. Three months prior to making its initial bid for Ventana, in March 2007 Roche bought 454 Life Sciences in a deal worth $154.9 million to gain control of the company's DNA-mapping technology. Since then, 454, Life Technologies, and Illumina have been in a race to make the most efficient next-generation sequencing machines.
Life Technologies and Illumina pulled ahead in that race on January 10 of this year when both launched one-day sequencers. Life Technologies closed January 24, the day before Roche divulged its move for Illumina, at $47.30 for a market cap of about $8.42 billion. Illumina's market cap even after its shares got a boost from the Roche news is around $6.7 billion. Even at $60 per share, Illumina would have a market cap of about $7.3 billion.
As Roche decides whether to increase its offer or not, Illumina is trying to safeguard its shareholders with the rights agreement, or poison pill. Under the rights agreement, one preferred stock purchase right will be distributed as a dividend on each share of the company's common stock held of record as of the close of business on February 6, 2012. Initially, the rights will be represented by the company's common stock certificates or by the registration of uncertificated shares of common stock in the company's share register and will not be exercisable.
Also under the rights agreement, with certain exceptions, if any person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the company's common stock, then each right not beneficially owned by such beneficial owner will entitle its holder to purchase, at the rights then-current exercise price, shares of the company's common stock having a market value of twice the rights then-current exercise price. In addition, with certain exceptions, if after any person or group has become a beneficial owner of 15% or more of the company's common stock, the firm becomes involved in a merger or other business combination, each right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the rights then-current exercise price, common shares of the acquiring company having a value of twice the rights then-current exercise price.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Here's a nice coda to the whole Affaire d'Oatmeal: Political cartoonist Donna Barstow takes exception to the site Something Awful posting her cartoons without consent, and in the process, sums up about three weeks' worth of lengthy posts in one pithy exchange:
"Are you talking about people posting them on the forums and making fun of them?" responded Something Awful's David Thorpe. "I think you might be confused about the internet"
"I think you're confused about money," came Barstow's retort. "Can I send an invoice your way?"
And there we have it: Legitimate commentary or picking someone's pocket?
UPDATE: Here's a link to Barstow's site.
She seems like sort of a complete idiot.
i fail to see how forum users are competing against her business model, whatever that might be. She must be confused about the purpose of copyright.
You just published one of her cartoons without permission. Expect a lawsuit soon.
Posting someone else's work on the internet is called "theft."
Jake, posting someone else's work on the internet is called theft by you, it's called fair use by others. This site your on now features blogs with all kinds of art from old comics for commentary and discussion. Is that theft?
The way theft works is that you take something away from someone and then they don't have it anymore. That's no the situation here. What was stolen from her?
There are standards that have to be met to qualify for the fair use exemption, P Green.
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors."
I couldn't care less about this cartoonist. Not only is she seemingly racist (see the Mexico cartoon), contributing to negative stereotypes about "wishy-washy" (read: bisexual) men, but she's also a fairly horrible cartoonist. Check out her "joke" about the increase in reading scores. It's neither a funny joke, nor a good drawing.
I like how it's okay to repost content for certain artists cause "You can't stop the signal MAN" but approved favorites are not to have their precious work touched.
Red Comet – I might be able to help you:
With the Oatmeal, the cartoons were swiped by the owners of a website and presented as original material in order to gain profit.
With Barstow, the cartoons were posted on a forum by individual users, presented as Barstow's work, in order to stimulate humorous discussion and gain insight into the mind of a dopey racist.

how do I change page background color
by editing style.css of your theme.
alchymyth is right; however, depending on your theme, you can do it through Theme Options or Background. Much easier for the less tech-savvy. If you're using Twenty Eleven, for example, you can simply click on Appearance -> Themes -> Background and change the color with the color selector. Hopefully alchymyth's (and perhaps my) advice helped you--and if this is no longer an issue, please change this topic to [Resolved], thanks!

After pleading guilty to a sexual relationship with a teenager, a former Colorado Springs volunteer youth pastor was sentenced to probation. The sexual assault began when the girl was 15 years old and lasted three years.
Thirty-seven-year-old Eric Caverly was arrested after a four-month investigation.
Caverly volunteered as a youth pastor at Springs Community Church.
When the allegations came to light in April, the close-knit church community said it was disturbed.
"We're sad. These circumstances speak for themselves. It's very troubling for any family," says Executive Pastor Ross Harrop.
Arrest affidavits say the relationship began back in 2008 when the girl was 16 years old. Court papers show it started with a text message, and progressed into a sexual relationship. Something Executive Pastor Ross Harrop says they train their teens to avoid.
"We call it reducing the risk, and it is something we take very seriously, providing a safe experience for all our ministries."
The investigation began in December when police were called to a Colorado Springs home on a report of a sexual assault.
According to court papers, the teenager ended the relationship in October of 2010 because of Caverly's controlling and jealous nature. She eventually told her therapist and parents, and was forced to file a police report.
Caverly has not been a member of Springs Community Church since 2008, but now the entire church community is healing.
"We are a congregation that's about healing hearts and restoration. So it's certainly troubling and makes us sad," says Harrop.
Caverly is expected back in court next Wednesday.
Springs police say Caverly may have sexually abused other victims, and ask that anyone with information on any possible incidents of sexual abuse call the Colorado Springs Police at 444-7000. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

I was pleasantly surprised to have the room cleaned and fresh towels. The home was very nice. The closeness to aspen town center was a plus. The young lady who booked our accomodations alexandra Erickson was the best. Having 2 floors to climb was my least favorite.

Our ski club always enjoys the Fasching Haus. You can't beat the location - a short walk from the aspen lifts or the central bus stop to all other resorts. The staff at Fasching Haus was very professional, responding promptly to questions and requests.

On Wednesday, he summoned conservative leaders to a private, two-hour meeting at which he took blunt questions about his "discipline and structure," the $300,000 ethics fine, and a hard-to-forget television ad in which he sat shoulder to shoulder with Rep. Nancy Pelosi, herself a former House speaker as well as a liberal stalwart.
Tea Party Express Chairwoman Amy Kremer, who attended the event, said Gingrich promised to continue to be honest about mistakes he's made in his personal life and sought to alleviate concerns in other areas.
It's a message Gingrich has been delivering repeatedly since launching his presidential campaign last spring. Only now, people are paying attention, given that polls show him leading the GOP field in Iowa and elsewhere.
On Capitol Hill, perhaps no one knows Gingrich better than House Speaker John Boehner, who lost his leadership role after the coup attempt.
But Boehner won't weigh in on the race, saying Wednesday, "Newt has been a longtime friend, but my focus is on what American people sent us here to do, which is focus on jobs."
Former Vice President Dan Quayle, who has endorsed Mitt Romney, answered "yes" when asked on NBC's "Today" show Thursday if Gingrich could beat Obama.
Scores of congressional Republicans are staying out of the contest, including some whose work with and respect for Gingrich go back decades. Among those, the hesitation comes from uncertainty, they said. Many offered respectful words but refused to say whether the former speaker would make an effective opponent to Obama or, perhaps, an effective president.
"Well, that's not up to me to judge," said Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, who has endorsed Romney. "All I can say is Newt is a wonderful idea man. He's not as good about implementing ideas. He moves from issue to issue really fast. And in some ways that's good, but you got to be able to implement" ideas.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the party's 2008 nominee against Obama, issued a classic non-endorsement.
Would he be pleased to see Gingrich win the nomination?
"Look, I respect the process," McCain said. "I think it (would be) quite an achievement."
Gingrich is not without allies and admirers on Capitol Hill.
At least six members of Congress have endorsed him, and Rep. Jack Kingston of Georgia is trying to set up a meet-and-greet with uncommitted members next week.
And Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio, who was a rookie House member when the GOP won Congress in 1994, said he sees Gingrich as a throwback to the old days of bipartisan lawmaking for which so many lawmakers and Americans say they yearn. Behind closed doors, Portman recalled, Gingrich is an apt negotiator. And he does focus, Portman said.
"He does have a history of managing through a tough issue and coming up with a result," Portman, who intends to stay neutral in the nominating fight, said Wednesday. He was careful to mention that he thinks Romney would do just as well at governing.

Give Devin Gardner time in the pocket, and the Michigan quarterback can hurt opponents with his arm or legs. We've seen Gardner compile eye-popping stat lines – Notre Dame and Indiana ring a bell? – but poor line play led to an inconsistent and turnover-prone 2013 season. The Wolverines ranked 105th in sacks allowed (2.77 per game), 113th in yards per rush (3.3) and 121st in tackles for a loss allowed (8.77 per game).

- Twitter: See our team's tweets from Purdue football practice
Well, Gardner has some good news for Michigan fans.
"I've only been sacked, like, twice since camp started," Gardner said, so that's a positive."
It sure is. Especially when one considers Gardner is the Big Ten's returning passing yards leader, and his 32 touchdowns (21 passing, 11 rushing) were only four fewer than Braxton Miller.
Watch our full interview with Garner above.

hping has such horrible documentation and seemingly many different types of syntaxes.
I would like to know what the
hping command would be to send a TCP packet with a source IP of 192.168.0.2, a source port of 9455, a destination IP of 192.168.0.1, a destination port of 80, and a payload file named "payload.txt".
I can get by with knowing this, but if you know of a good tutorial for hping (which I'm not sure exists), I could use that too.

Hi there, I don't know if I'm in the right forum but here it goes.
I am translating a WordPress theme from English to French. The theme uses the "n()" function witch establishes the single/plural form based on a numeric value. I have an issue with the single/plural form since in English, the plural form is used for zero, but in French, the single form is used instead.
Now the translation is used in a cart items content. So I guess the "n()" function is the one to use, but "n()" will return plural for zero.
What should I be looking into to fix this.

Nick Salmon's performance on Thursday night not only left a fishy taste in Somerset Berkley's mouth, but brought the Hilltoppers one win shy of a tournament berth.
Durfee's freshman guard led all scorers with 27 points, including a dynamic third-quarter as the Hilltoppers dismantled the Raiders 92-64 in boys' hoops at Somerset Berkley High School.
Entering the second half, Durfee held a nine-point edge (43-34) over SB (5-9) thanks to center Logan Smith, who kept his team in the hunt with a 14-point effort. That soon changed when Salmon was given plenty of room to shoot, and proceeded to knock four consecutive 3-pointers, opening the Hilltoppers' advantage.
Salmon was just as effective in the paint and at the free throw line, scoring seven more points, helping Durfee increase its lead to 72-48. He bagged 19 in the third stanza alone.
"Nick definitely carried over a good offensive feel for the game from the second half the other night against Dartmouth," Durfee head coach Jameson Guimond said. "Once he made a few (shots) in the third, he kind of caught fire and was taking shots within himself and making them. The kid's a great scorer, and as a freshman to score 27 points is pretty impressive."
SB gave the Hilltoppers (9-6) a rough time during the contest's first eight minutes, shooting 8-for-17 from the field and led 19-18. Vaughn Browner and Nick Carreira combined for 11 of the Raiders' points. Durfee dialed up the offense permanently in the second, ignited by a 13-0 run that put the Hilltoppers up 37-24. They outscored SB 23-11. Any attempted shots that fell just short of the basket were assisted by Tyree Robinson, who tipped in several. He finished second on Durfee with 22 points, including 16 in the game's first half. In addition to Robinson, Brendon Bindig scored 12 points, Melvin McWhorter bagged 10, and Chris Farrington chipped in 9 for the Hilltoppers.
"We just had to refocus and play a little harder," Guimond said. "I told the kids at halftime that we're not going to win every game by 50 points and they rebounded pretty well after that first quarter, and played well defensively."
Durfee put up 20 more tallies in the fourth, including Bindig's '3' with 11 seconds left to reach the 90-point plateau. Needing just one more 'W' to guarantee playoff basketball, Guimond hopes that his team will enter every game, especially t0night's at Bishop Feehan with a positive and winning attitude.
"We need to come into the gym every game day thinking that we're going to win," he said. "If we play hard and do what we do as a basketball team, the wins will take care of themselves."
Carreira (12 points), Browner (11 points), and Mike Mahoney (9 points) all contributed for the Raiders.

BEIRUT (AP) Ś Syrian President Bashar Assad said in a newspaper interview Saturday he wonĺt step down before elections are held, rejecting a demand by the countryĺs opposition that any talks on ending the nationĺs civil war lead to his ouster.
Assadĺs comments to the Argentine newspaper Clarin were his first about his possible role in any political transition since the U.S. and Russia agreed earlier this month to try to bring the two sides to the table at an international conference. Such a gathering is envisioned for next month, but no date has been set, and neither the Assad regime nor the Syrian National Coalition, the main Western-backed coalition group, has made a firm commitment to attend.
The Syrian presidentĺs remarks highlighted the difficulties the U.S. and Russia face in getting the two sides to agree on the terms of transition talks and brokering an end to Syriaĺs bloody civil war.
More than 70,000 people have been killed and several million displaced since the uprising against Assad erupted in March 2011 and escalated into a civil war.
Assad has dismissed those trying to topple him as foreign-backed terrorists. Many in the political opposition say Assad and his inner circle cannot be expected to negotiate in good faith after they brutally suppressed peaceful protests.
In the interview with Clarin, Assad likened himself to the skipper of a ship riding Syriaĺs turbulent seas, saying ôthe country is in a crisis and when a ship faces a storm, the captain does not flee.ö
ôThe first thing he does is face the storm and guide the ship back to safety,ö Assad was quoted as saying by the newspaper. ôI am not someone who flees from my responsibilities.ö
An audio clip from the interview was posted on the Clarin website, with his Arabic comments dubbed into Spanish and translated into English by The Associated Press.

Loving this color!
By Tammy
from Utah
I bought Golden High Flow Acrylic in Fluorescent Pink to use in some mixed media projects. The color is so vibrant. I love, love, love it! Like all Golden High Flows it can be transparent or use extra layers for more opacity.
Awesome paint!

from Fayetteville, NC
Used it on Yupo paper with a brayer. Wow! Awesome color, smooth application. Absolutely love this product. Will definitely be buying much more of it! Cant wait to try it on other substrates.
Very happy with this product. Golden is quality always.
By Judijon
from Castle Rock WA
I'm an experimenter; I only used the sample pack, which prompted me to order several colors in greater quantity. Can already tell the paints will be useful in many different applications. The color is rock solid, fluid yet not thin.

Great product
By Lightning Mom
from Priest River, ID
Really like Golden and recently had to let go of numerous bottles of paint due to relocating and unable to take products with me. So opted to go for larger bottles of several colors and ship them and got them from Blick. They had all the ones I wanted in the larger size. Very happy to have found them all. Always like dealing with Blick as great customer service and great inventory. This particular product can be used in my pens, markers, airbrush, and painting, whether watercolor or acrylic use.
Excellent all purpose acrylic
By 7day painter
from Ventura County
I use these paints for airbrushing and all other projects that require fluid acrylics including lettering projects and in concert with watercolor. I cannot paint without these in my studio, they are an absolute staple. Superior quality.
My Forever Favorite

I love love love this acrylic paint i orginally only order white and black. Now I going to order every color.

Summer is still here and even though the thought of fall is looming over our heads, I'm not ready to give up on the season of colour and vibrant makeup just yet! Lise Watier has some fantabulous Loose Powder Eyeshadows ($18) from the Couleur Folle collection. That literally translates into crazy colours! Read on to see my personal favourites.
My current fave is Folie d'Eau. My photo may be less glamorous but as you can see, it's definitely a bright and flashy eye colour. The best way to apply these eyeshadows is to use a Definition Brush ($19). I find it works best when you dab it in the colour, tap the brush to get rid of excess and prevent making a mess, and then gently glide it over the lid. If you want a more opaque and intense look, apply some Metamorfix to your brush and then dip it in the colour. You'll be WOW-ed! You may also want to try a more form brush to achieve such a look so this Eyeshadow Brush ($19) may be best.
For a more subtle look, you can also try Folie d'Aqua (I also loooooove!) or Folie Soleil (pictured below).
Which colours are your faves in this collection?

Ready for 3.0 yet?
Ready for 3.0 yet?
Almost, I finished testing against a default WP3.0 install last night, just need to test its compatibility with a few other plugins and tidy things up, should hopefully have a release by the end of the weekend or early next week at the latest.
I am not sure if I am the only one who have problem with the fluency admin+menu? For me, it doesn't seemed to work nicely when i go to the menu page.
Thanks. ;)
Can you provide any more info about what appears to be wrong, screenshot or two might be helpful.
I just upgraded Fluency Admin for my WP 3.0 and it looks like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v732/wildx22/fleuncy.jpg (lol excuse the spelling error)
I could stand Fluency 2.2 (which looked fine for the most part), but that looks plain screwed. I didn't tweak any settings. :(
For some reason it's fixed now (I think it was just my cache) but the Menus page still doesn't work and I wonder if you could bring back the multi-column settings hover menu when there are too many plugin settings pages. :P
Ok, I've worked out whats causing the problems on the Menus page (it only happens when the fixed position menu is disabled).
I didn't change (or at least I didn't think I did) the code for the multi-columns on the hover menus, so I'll have to have a look and see what the cause is.
Will try and get both fixed in a quick update.
Hope I am not too late to show the screenshot,
Thanks. :)
Thanks Shyuan, looks like its the same issue a few other people have spotted, I should have a fix out in the next day or so.
i have upgrade to WP3.0 today on 3 client sites. Now i have Porblems with the fluency-admin plugin. When i click the hide menü button - the menü will hide but the button is clear. The menü cannot be open again.
Thats in all of my site's i use fluency admin on WP3 system.
Peter144, can you confirm which version of Fluency you currently have active, I'm assuming its 2.3.1 ?
Do you have any other active plugins that interact with the admin menus in any way?
Can you provide a screenshot of the problem so I've got something extra to work from while trying to replicate the problem.
Hi Dean,
I have just upgraded to the latest version of Fluency Admin, thanks for the hardwork! ;)
The upper part of the menu page is fine now (Firefox). Hmm, but it seems there's still a problem with the bottom part of the "menu" page (regardless of disabling/enabling the "Hover Menus" in settings):
Whereas it still contain both issues in Internet Explorer. (Just FYI) ^^
Hey Dean,
I love your plugin...been using it for awhile now for all of my WP sites! Like many of your product followers, I too upgraded your plugin (WP 3.0) and just like Peter when I click on the "Hide" button everything does what it suppose to do, except the "Unhide" button is now missing or not visible within the left navigation bar. It's kinda frustrating as I have multiple admins per site and some have smaller screen (laptops) thus the use of the "Hide" button is necessary. For now we have decided to hold off on your upgrade for the rest our sites until this is resolved. Don't get me wrong, I think your plugin is one of the BEST that is out there! :)
@shyuan Looks like all the problems with the "Menus" page are due to a lot of bad code that are being used to generate the page.
The overlapping footer only occurs when the active WordPress theme does not 'natively' support the custom menus, and the resulting message that is displayed (as seen in your screenshot) is what is causing everything to fail. (The <div> containing the message is being rendered by WordPress above the <html> tag and this is clearly wrong). I'll file this as a bug in the WordPress issue tracker.
Hi Dean,
Thanks for your clarification for the issue I had faced. Hmm, the issue doesn't affect me much, just to make it being noticeable. :D You are replying quick for your plugin, I feel so glad to see your replies. Btw, are you going to make more admin themes in near future? Coz it's nice. :)
Same problem here with the missing unhide button...
Your plugin is awesome otherwise! You're my hero (as I was about to quit when WordPress 2.5 came out with their ugly menu).
Is there any kind of manual fix for this unhide problem?
@patung You can force the menu to 'unhide' by adding ?unfoldmenu to the end of the wp-admin url
eg: http://mysite.com/wp-admin/?unfoldmenu
Or, if you download the latest version of Fluency (2.3.2) the hide/unhide problem should be fixed. I haven't had any reports of the error since this update was released.
Hi Dean, I've only ever had 2.3.2 and with both browsers and on multiple sites I can't see a way to unhide the menu. I can take screenshot video and send you the link if you'd like.
My other complaint would be that in IE it is very hard to read the text for "Screen Options" and "Help" at the top right of each page.
i have the latest version, i downloaded today:(pls check my post date). The menu bar is missing!
So i dug into the code to see if the bar is going missing or its css-bug. i seem to have figured something, another plugin called wp-insert was causing this. the css file in the plugin has a margin and width property which clashed with the theme. please fix this

The Cruisers (MP3 CD)
This Book Is Not Sold Online - In Store Special Order Only
Out of Print
School is hard enough, but when you're misfits on a mission, you're really put to the test. The re-launch of a popular middle-grade series by Walter Dean Myers.
Zander and his crew are underdogs at DaVinci Academy, one of the best Gifted and Talented schools in Harlem. But even these kids who are known as losers can win by speaking up. When they start their own school newspaper, stuff happens. Big stuff. Loud stuff. Stuff nobody expects. Mr. Culpepper, the Assistant Principal and Chief Executioner, is ready to be rid of Zander, Kambui, LaShonda, and Bobbi until they prove that their writing packs enough power to keep the peace and show what it means to stand up for a cause.
About the Author
Born in Marinsburg, West Virginia in 1937, Walter Dean Myers is one of the premier authors of books for children. His mother died very early in his life-an event that propelled him into experiences that later influenced him to write. It was difficult for Myers' father to raise eight children alone, and eventually, a nearby couple, Herbert and Florence Dean, took in three-year old Walter and moved to Harlem, New York. "Harlem became my home and the place where my first impressions of the world were set," says Myers.
As a child, Myers went to school in his neighborhood and attended bible school almost every day of the week. Myers had a speech impediment which made communicating difficult for him, and often found himself in fights, defending himself against kids who taunted him. After a while, one of this teachers suggested to his class that they could write something to read aloud. Young Myers began writing poetry to give voice to his thoughts and feelings, and at age sixteen, won a prize in an essay contest and a set of encyclopedias for a long narrative poem. Later, his father bought him a used typewriter, which he used to churn out a seemingly endless stream of stories.
Along with the many things he was discovering about himself, Myers was also learning how to survive. One day he had the courage to break up a fight between three gang members and a kid who had just moved into the neighborhood. He became a marked man-and felt his life was in danger.
For example, once, he was sitting in the tree in Morningside Park, across from the building he lived in, reading O'Neill's "Mourning Becomes Electra," when some gang members spotted him and surrounded the tree. Myers jumped to theground, flashed a stiletto in order to fend them off, and made a mad dash for his building. He escaped, but he never forgot the incident. Later he enlisted in the army, got married, had a child, went through a turbulent creative struggle, got divorced, got married again-and during all of this, kept writing, whether his work pleased him or not.
But Walter Dean Myers' life is not the story of a tormented, embittered artist. Rather it is the story of a gifted, complex person committed to sharing that gift with young readers. Myers' stories and novels paint a powerful picture of the pressures of growing up on big city streets. Yet, he emphasizes close relationships, trust, and personal growth.
It seems that one of Myers' greatest struggles was to understand what type of writer he wanted to be. As the years passed and his books became more and more popular, Walter Dean Myers came to believe that his work filled a void for African American youths who yearned for positive reading experiences and role models. He frequently writes about children who share similar economic and ethnic situations with his own childhood. "But my situation as a parent did not mirror that of my childhood," he says. "While my parents were quite poor, my children are thoroughly entrenched in the middle class experience. To them African prints go well with designer jeans, pizzas go down easier to a reggae beat, and shopping malls are an unmistakable part of their culture."
It is clear that Myers' understanding of both the world he was raised in and the world of his children allows him to bring an authority to his work that resonates with his young readers. It is one of many attributes that has made him one ofthe most important children's and young adult authors writing today. Among his many honors are two Newbery Honor books for "Scorpions "and" Somewhere in the Darkness," He is also a two-time recipient of the Coretta Scott King Award for "Now Is Your Time!" and "Fallen Angels," In addition, Myers has received the Margaret A. Edwards Award for his contribution to young adult literature.
Myers' novel, "Darnell Rock Reporting," is a warm and humorous story about thirteen-year-old Darnell Rock-a boy who works on his school newspaper. The book is sure to appeal to reluctant readers. Myers' recent picture book, "How Mr. Monkey Saw the Whole World," is a cautionary fable about a watchful monkey who sees that a greedy buzzard gets his comeuppance.
Myer's recent work, "145th Street: Short Stories" (A "Boston Globe-Horn Book" Honor Book) captures the heartbeat of one memorable block in Harlem, New York. These powerful, often gripping stories range from humor and celebration to terror and grief.
Walter Dean Myers, the father of three grown children, lives with his wife in Jersey City, New Jersey.

I study how the sense of smell works, using maggots. You and me have about 4 million smell cells in our noses. A maggot has just 21, and by using genetics we can make a maggot with just a single smell cell. By studying these animals and the electrical activity of their smell cells, we can understand how smells are processed. The bits of the maggot brain that process smells are wired up just like ours - by studying a simple maggot we hope to understand how the sense of smell works in all animals, including humans.
With collaborators in America I have looked at how human populations vary for the genes that enable us to smell. We studied one particular gene in over 2000 indigenous people and showed that it is the focus of natural selection. We also looked at this gene in extinct human populations (Neanderthals, Denisovans) and were able to understand how they would have perceived certain odours.
PS If you are looking for someone who studies the history of the French Resistance in WW2, you have indeed come to the right place. Send me an e-mail.

Social Impact of the Industrial Revolution (254-258)
- Urbanization: movement of people to cities
- Tenement: multistory buildings divided into apartments
- Labor Union: workers' organizations
- For entrepreneurs that began their own businesses the Industrial Revolution brought wealth.
- For millions of the new factory workers the Industrial Revolution brought on poverty, and poor living conditions.
- The Revolution was known as one of the worst abuses in Europe and the Americas
- When standards of living became better people were benefiting from the industrialization. The workers were forced to work in unsafe conditions with little pay leading to the workers poverty.
People Move to New Industrial Cities
- Towns were growing due to people of rural civilizations migrating to the urban towns (urbanization)
An example of this: Manchester's population grew by over 20,000 in just thirty years during the mid to late seventeen hundreds. Due to this the location and distribution of people and labor dramatically changed.
Checkpoint: What led to the massive migration of people from farms to cities?
Answer: In the cities there was more work being offered for those willing to do the harsh labor. The Industrial Revolution also had an output of more goods.
New Social Classes Emerge
- The Revolution changed the opportunities of the middle class. They were owners and operators of factories, mines, etc.
- Farmers moved to the cities where they worked in mines and factories, and work ed in harsh conditions.
The Industrial Middle Class
- The bourgeoisie went from "rags to riches"
- The middle class dressed, ate, and lived well.
- Always tried to "get ahead."
The Industrial Working Class
- Poor people were packed into buildings
- Diseases such as cholera spread easily with rotting garbage in streets and rivers
Workers Stage Futile Protests
- Labor Unions were illegal but secret groups were created.
- They wished for increased pay but didn't have the power to change circumstances.
- In England from 1811-1813 riots broke out, this is the first time industrial riots broke out.
- Textile workers known as Luddites resisted machines that made textiles easier and faster, which caused them to lose their jobs.
- John Kay invented a flying shuttle allowed more yarn to be produced faster and with less workers. This machine caused riots to break out.
Workers Find Comfort in Religion
- The Methodist movement was founded in the mid-1700's by John Wesley
- He encouraged a personal sense of faith and improving yourself by adopting sober, moral ways
- Working-class people often found comfort in this movement
- The movement channeled anger away from Industrial revolution and toward reform
Checkpoint: How did members of the working class react to their new experiences in industrial cities?
Answer: Members of the working class had poor conditions at home and at work. Some rioted for better pay and conditions and many found comfort in religion.
Life in the factories and mines
Factory Workers Face Harsh Conditions
- Workers worked long hours with shifts lasting from 12 to 16 hours for six to seven days a week.
- They could only take the factory owners gave permission.
- Workers suffered accidents from machines that had no safety devices, they risked losing a finger, limb or even their own life.
- Women were hired more often then men because they believed they adapted more easily to machines and were easier to manage. Yet the factory owners paid the working women only half of what they paid their working men.
- Children were needed to fit into small working spaces.
- Death rates were high in factories.
- During the Industrial Revolution there weren't any laws for employers to have to look after workers.
Miners Face Worse Conditions
- They worked in darkness, and the dust from the coal destroyed their lungs.
- Dangers were everywhere, explosions, flooding, and collapsing tunnels.
- Then women and children carted around heavy loads of coal, sometimes on all fours in low passages.
- James Watt invented a steam engine to create additional energy, later developed for mining industry to create greater amounts of coal.
Children Have Dangerous Jobs
- Started working at ages of seven or eight or as young as five
- Their jobs were to change the spools for the textile mills in hot and humid
weather conditions
- Children would have to crawl under broken machinery to repair threads in mills
- In the mines it would be dark all day and would open and close vents for air
- Miners would haul coal cars in the extreme heat
- The children worked in these places because without them families would starve
- "Factory Acts" were put into place in the early 1800s to reduce workdays to twelve hours and no children were allowed to work under the ages of eight or nine.
- More laws were created to shorten women's workdays and make working children have an education
Checkpoint Question: How did the Industrial Revolution affect the lives of men, women, and children?
Answer: Instead of working long hot days in the extreme heat they had laws passed that put hour limits on the days and did not allow children under the ages of eight or nine to work in the cotton mills. Women also got their work days shorter and the children to have an education.
The Results of Industrialization
- Early 1800s brought terrible hardships because of the Industrial Revolution
- Labor unions gained the right to bargain workers for better wages, hours they worked, and their working conditions
- Working-class men got the right to vote, which caused them to gain political power
- Industrial Revolution created low pay and horrific living conditions
- It also created mass-production of goods to grow and new factories opened to create more jobs
- The wages grew so that after people paid for their necessitates they would be able to afford a newspaper or enough to go to a music hall
- Railroad ticket prices dropped so it allowed more people to visit family in other towns and go more often
Checkpoint Question: Why was the Industrial Revolution seen as both a blessing and a curse?
Answer: It was seen as a blessing because it allowed labor unions or bargain other workers for getting paid better, hours, and working conditions. Also, working-class men had the right to vote and mass-production of goods grew, new factories opened up, which created more jobs.
