Smaller than planets, often larger than capital ships, space stations are a key part of any system s military, economic and social... construct. Indeed, in some systems the majority of the local population may be housed on stations with only a few making their lives on planets and moons in the area. Either way, stations are almost universally present in any system able to build them. The core of this book is focused on the design and construction of space stations. New power-plants and grav drives provide the much less intensive needs of a space station, while new hull forms allow for cheaper structures to be built without the anti-gravity plating normally mounted within every ship. Facilities enable space stations to take part in local, inter-planetary and interstellar production and trade, to become population centres, install shopping districts and construct their own starships for sale or personal use. Further chapters give more detail to station facilities and how they function, as well as offering new docking options for larger spacecraft and even capital ships. Stations can be the home ports of entire fleets, and without sufficient docking and recreation space, a fleet will soon fall apart. This book covers a wide variety of types of station, and also the running of a station, involving building, staffing and setting up the imports that will be its life blood. You will read about the continued running of a station and the end result; profits. Finally, you will discover adventure hooks, setting suggestions and example stations to populate your Traveller universe with. read more

Operating a large-scale, year-round consumer web presence is a challenging task. Much of the discussion about web 2.0, and the supposed disappearance of barriers to entry for web businesses, ignores the size of the operational challenges. Expertise, repeatable process, tools and infrastructure are not easily found, and working with experienced, reliable partners is vital.

They appeared to be friendly with each other.
It's been so long since we've seen Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher together.
But the divorcing couple, who split in 2011, came face to face with each other on Monday.
TMZ has video of Moore, 50, and Kutcher, 35, walking and talking at the airport in Burbank, Calif. They apparently were at the same tech conference in San Jose.
They did a good job of appearing to be chatting in a friendly way as the cameras went nuts around them.
Meanwhile, Kutcher's sweetie, Mila Kunis, was busy wowing on the red carpet in Toronto.

We were pleasantly surprised with our stay at the Starfire (although not sure why). When I'd done research about all of the "motels" in the area, this one just looked to be the best. The location is THE BEST with mere steps to the boardwalk/beach. We found a great place to eat breakfast too, a short 5 minute walk from the motel. The staff was pleasant, helpful and accommodating (Rosanna even let us keep our car there for a few hours until we left NJ which she didn't have to do). Since there is not a plethora of true "hotels" in the area, we were more than thrilled with this little gem. Small, but clean and just as advertised!

Mets 4, Braves 2: Slumping Ike Davis delivered a tiebreaking two-run single in the eighth inning and host New York snapped Atlanta's eight-game winning streak.
Lucas Duda belted a solo homer and John Buck ignited the three-run eighth with an RBI single as the Mets halted a five-game losing streak overall and an eight-game skid at Citi Field.
Davis was the most unlikely hero, coming into the contest with two hits in 44 at-bats, but he lined a one-out bases-loaded single off Cory Gearrin (1-1) to deliver the go-ahead runs with his first RBIs since May 9.
LaTroy Hawkins (1-0) pitched one inning for the win and Bobby Parnell worked a perfect ninth for his seventh save to reward a brilliant performance from Shaun Marcum, who struck out a career-high 12 and allowed two runs on four hits over seven innings.
Marcum, who entered with an 0-5 mark and 6.59 ERA, was in line for his first win of the year until Dan Uggla hammered a monstrous two-run homer with one out in the seventh inning to put the Braves on top 2-1. Atlanta starter Julio Teheran allowed only one run on five hits in 6 2/3 innings.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Uggla's blast was Atlanta's National League-leading 65th but the Braves lost for just the fifth time in 33 games when they hit a home run. ... Marcum's previous career high for strikeouts was 11 against Washington on June 16, 2007, when he was with the Toronto Blue Jays. It was his fourth career double-digit strikeout game. ... The Mets will host the New York Yankees on Monday in the annual Subway series while the Braves head to Toronto for the first two contest of a four-game, home-and-home series.

I recently moved from All in One SEO to WordPress SEO. I enabled the "Add OpenGraph meta data" box and put %%excerpt%% as the description in front page settings.
I expected my site to appear the same as it was before when linked to Facebook and Google Plus (by using the buttons on my site or copy and pasting a url).
However, now the descriptions cut off mid sentence, whereas before it would display the full content of posts (my posts are short but sometimes a bit longer than 156). Is there a way to return it to posting the full content without manually changing the meta description on each post? Or even making it so that when a post gets cut off there is an ellipsis and it doesn't look so abrupt.
My site is http://www.profootballhotreads.com and here would be a sample post getting cut off by the said social media:
Note: I also experienced a double title issue but it was resolved when I deactivated an opengraph plug in.

Re: Capital One Increase
I just know that Cap1 and other banks have tightened their belts. When I had 750 credit score, they tightened their belt and wouldn't even let me re-finance my house even though at the time i had perfect credit, stable employment, and my ratios were in line. sadly we have a choice. play their game OR not play their game and pay cash for everything. Be like Dave Ramsey and have a 0 credit score with millions in the bank. of course, people forget, he made his millions BEFORE the market crash NOT after the market crash.
to change the tables, deposit $5,000 in a CD showing them you can save and then pay it off 3 times a month showing them you can handle the line of credit OR just use them for one tank of gas a month and use your other cards ... the $7500 limit card.
for myself, i just have one major credit card. keep it simple.

Hi there.
A friend built my site for me in Dreamweaver on his PC, but now I have to update it myself on my Mac, and I can't afford Dreamweaver.
So I am looking for a WYSIWYG editor for Mac...

Japan and the Soviet Union shared a common border in Manchuria and the German invasion of the Soviet Union weakened the Soviets greatly. In view of the advantages to Japan in seeing the Soviet Union defeated (not to mention the resources available in Siberia) and the fact that Japan had large Kwantung Army stationed there essentially doing nothing, why didn't Japan attack?
We have to delve into two spheres to address this question, the political and the military.
Militarily, the Japanese fought a series of border skirmishes with the Soviet Union at Khalkhin Gol (located along the Manchurian - Mongolian border, Mongolia then being a "People's Republic" and puppet of the Soviet Union) through early summer to early autumn 1939, with the main battle happening on August 20th-31st. Georgy Zhukov (who later went on to lead large formations in Europe, but then a Corps Commander) launched a coordinated combined arms attack which stunned the patently inferior Japanese, leading to a prompt ceasefire and cessation of hostilities on September 15, 1939.
Politically, the Japanese military cadres were always divided along two opposed doctrines: the Northern Expansion Doctrine (in which the Japanese Empire would expand north into Siberia) and the Southern Expansion Doctrine (in which the Japanese Empire would instead focus on South-East Asia and the greater Pacific) favored by the Army and Navy respectively. The thorough paddling that the Imperial Japanese Army and the Kwantung Army received at Khalkhin Gol discredited the Northern Expansion Doctrine.
There are indications that the Japanese would have struck the Soviet Union had Operation Typhoon succeeded and Moscow taken by the Germans, but this obviously never materialized. What a difference 50km can make!
Japan was interested in extending its influence in Asia and for that it had to confront either USSR or USA. While I don't think that the exact reason for choosing USA is known, Japan was at a clear disadvantage when battling USSR: while the Soviet Union had established overland supply line for its troops in the far east (Trans-Siberian Railway) the Japanese had to supply their troops and transport reinforcements by sea. This already proved fatal for Japan in the Russo-Japanese War and only the civil unrest in Russia that eventually led to the 1905 Russian Revolutiоn saved Japan from a defeat. The history repeated itself in the Battles of Khalkhin Gol in 1939 and I guess that the Japanese learned their lesson.
The United States on the other hand could only defend their interests in Asia and Pacific by sea, same as Japan itself. So the chances here were equal and the attack on Pearl Harbor temporarily gave Japan a significant advantage - something that they couldn't achieve against Soviet Union.
The Soviets kept a strong army in the Far East at all times, in case of Japanese attack, and the Japanese had come out a distinct second best in earlier battles. Opening up a front meant committing the Kwantung Army to battle, with all the logistics (never Japan's strong point) that implies, and a battle that the Japanese could not necessarily pull back from.
Further, there weren't all that many resources being exploited in Siberia, and Siberia's a very big place. After what was available near Manchuria, it was a very long trip to the Irkutsk area, the next place worth conquering.
One important reason that Japan chose to go to war with the United States rather than the Soviet Union was because its navy was the stronger of its two arms.
The Japanese navy was quite competitive with the U.S. navy, even before Pearl Harbor (until the 1943 U.S. shipbuilding program kicked in). Not so the Japanese army, which had been defeated by Soviet forces on the Mongolian border in 1938, and lacked tanks and other heavy equipment.
Furthermore, Japan didn't have the logistics to fight a "two front" war, one on land and one at sea.
They had a treaty beginning in 1941, after a few skirmishes along the area in question. They were also a member of the Tripartite Pact, which they remainded a member of even after Germany attacked the Soviet Union
references: Wikipedia
US oil sanctions were crippling Japan and they came after the US to try and force FDR into negotiations and cripple our Navy that he had moved from San Diego to Honolulu, the only force capable of stopping the Japanese from taking the oil fields in the Indies. In other words they were desperate for oil and had to remove the threat of the US Navy before they could think about war with Russia.
In August 1939, while Japan and the USSR were skirmishing, Germany and the USSR signed a Non-Aggression Pact that allowed Stalin to put some more focus on Japan (among other things). By early 1941, Japan decided it was time to focus on securing its oil supply in Indonesia and so shifted to its Pacific strategy. Hence they signed a neutrality pact with the USSR in April 1941. Germany showed no signs of a policy shift until June 22, 1941, when it abruptly attacked the Soviet Union.
With regard to the USSR, Germany was like "we got this." All through 1941 while Japan was prepping Pearl Harbor, Germany was wailing on Russia. When Pearl Harbor happened, the Wehrmacht was at the gates of Moscow. The Nazi leaders were debating whether to start killing the Jews right away, or "in the spring, after the war" meaning 1942. Likewise, Japan expected its expansion in 1941-42 to present the West with a fait accompli, that the USA would have neither the resources nor the willpower to fight, and that if they did, it would take several years to recover from Pearl Harbor and present a new threat in the Pacific. In other words, they could focus on China, and the USSR if they wanted, later. It did not work out that way.
They did attack the USSR a few times, but lost badly and decided to sign a treaty with the USSR. They quit with Russia because they wanted to expand farther into the Pacific to which Russia wasn't a threat to that goal. That's perhaps the biggest reason for the Raid on Pearl Harbor, Japan was worried that America would intervene and cause issues to the plan. They decided to launch a first strike to neutralize the possibility, by destroying the American fleet and holding us off for awhile. This however didn't happen because the main targets being our aircraft carriers were out to sea at the time of the attack.
As was stated in another answer, there were a number of skirmishes/battles that occurred in 1939, such as the Battles of Khalkin Gol, but it essentially concluded when it became apparent that Japan was not a military match against the Russians. This basically guaranteed that Germany and Japan would never link up as allies on land.
For more information about the battle, I'm going to forward you to the Wikipedia article on Battles of Khalkhin Gol.
Japan tried to expand into China and South Asia. It had no condition to attack Russia in the North at the same time.
Imperial Japan WOULD have declared war on USSR had it been successful at Midway, as it was successful at Pearl and in invading Philippines. The US essentially kicked in the door to Japan at Midway. US had agreed to a "Europe first" policy with its European allies upon declaring war against both Japan and Germany. The problem is that European theater was simply not ready to utilize American forces.
After Midway, Japan was no immediate threat to the US, and US could have delayed further action against Japan for a considerable time, had we still had an essentially isolationist sentiment, simply because Europe wasn't prepared for US the brunt of US effort. That brunt most immediately went to the Pacific War. Had it not, Japan could have and may well have moved against the USSR. This was particularly opportune when the manufacturing capacity of USSR was packed up and moved by Stalin east, away from Moscow, and re-assembled closer to the eastern front.
An attack by Japan in the fall of 1942 was quite possible, since the USSR essentially had no defenses deployed on its eastern front, and the destruction of its mfg capacity would have doomed the USSR to the residual Nazi attack, and would have cost Japan very little, assuming the US had not advanced in the Pacific after Midway. Because the US did advance with all its might, Japan simply could never have mounted an attack on the USSR, even had it weakened or diminished its efforts in Burma, the Malay Peninsula, etc.
It has become popular in the past 20-30 years to credit USSR with defeating the Nazis, but this disregards the effect of the US' offensive against Japan in keeping the Japanese from opening a front against the USSR.
The Japanese primary strategy was to create an East-Asia Prosperity sphere of influence, including SE Asia, parts of China and Indonesia. This also fit in with their desperation for resources, especially oil (see, for instance, the book The Prize by Daniel Yergin). SE Asia also had bauxite for Aluminum refining (as did the Caroline Islands, see Aluminum Ore: The Political Economy of the Global Bauxite Industry) and Japan was also desperate for Aluminum imports, which had come from the U.S. but were cut off due to the bad press from Japanese atrocities in China. In many ways, the attack on Pearl Harbor was a distractions and disaster, and an attack on Russia would have been, also.
Japan and Germany had a political and military alliance during World War 2, as Japan was part of the Axis powers. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, the U.S. declared war on Japan the following day. As you would expect, Germany (Japan's faithful ally) then declared war on the United States on December 11th, 1941. So yes, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union, it's puzzling that Japan did not honor its alliance by attacking the U.S.S.R. Such an arrangement would have divided the Soviet military in two and assured a victorious invasion for Hitler.
So, why on EARTH would Japan cross the Pacific to fight a neutral United States when its own ally was at war with neighboring Soviet Union?
Recent details have come to light that finally answer the question. In the mid 1990's, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, certain KGB archives revealed that Soviet spycraft actually engineered the war between the United States and Japan. This new information, stemming from the Venona Project, shows that Soviet penetration of the U.S. State Department and Treasury Department played a key role. Specifically, Harry Dexter White, a senior economist at the U.S. Treasury, was instructed to author key conditions during diplomatic exchanges between the U.S. and Japan. The key conditions were designed to start a war. The main condition was the demand that Imperial Japan withdrawn from all occupied territories This condition in particular convinced Japan that the U.S. was committed to war in the Pacific. In essence, Japan felt that they HAD to fight the United States. (Check out 'The Venona Secrets' by Herbert Romerstein & Eric Breindel as well as 'The Battle of Bretton Woods' by Benn Steil).
Once the Soviet Union was assured that their American agents had issued the hardline conditions, the Soviets could confidently focus on a one-front war instead of a two-front war. On December 4th, three days BEFORE the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Soviet Union confidently moved nearly all of its eastern land forces...forces that would have fought against Japan...into the western front to counter Hitler's fast-moving invasion. From a military standpoint, its dangerous to turn your back on the ally of your enemy (Japan) unless you are absolutely certain they will not attack.
Militarily, Japan had MUCH better chances fighting a country that was right next door and already heavily engaged in fighting Nazi Germany, which happened to be Japan's military ally. It is truly a miracle of statecraft that Japan was tricked into attacking a neutral nation nearly 3,000 miles away.
Also of interest...the Soviet Union, who was supposedly an ally of the United States in fighting Hitler...never declared war on Japan until AFTER the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945. After that, the Soviets moved their forces back to the east and promptly invaded Manchuria. Pretty nifty spycraft.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Who doesn't love a bargain? Whether at the grocery store or to get our oil changed, everybody loves a deal. In fact, Groupon ( GRPN) has built an entire business model around our desire to spend less. However, it's not the same on the stock market. Wall Street doesn't send out coupons, only reminders that, "Price is what you pay, value is what you get." Even so, there remains an attraction to what seems like a "cheap" price. Investors are drawn to the perceived less-risky proposition of the per-share amount. But are they really less risky or is it the higher number of shares that one can presumably afford? Read: Another Benefit of TARP: Uncovering Bank Fraud Regardless of the reason, what remains true is that if the business does well, the stock price will follow. With that in mind, here's a look at three stocks that are trading under $10 -- two to buy and one to avoid. Buy Nokia ( NOK) The first stock we're going to take a look at is Nokia, which I'm recommending as a buy. Shares are currently trading around $4, down 2% for the year to date. But don't be fooled. Since reaching a low of $3.02 on April 19, the stock has been up by as much as 42% when factoring the $4.24 per share reached on July 9. Still, if you've been following this company for a while, you have every right not to be excited. Despite these gains, we can say it pales in comparison to the $60 per share level that the stock reached in 2000. More recently, we know Nokia is still far from the $30 per share mark reached in 2008, which means that investors have lost more than 90% over the past decade. Companies don't reach the depths that Nokia has suffered without having grossly mismanaged its business. However, there are now signs that things are beginning to turn around. I'm not suggesting that Apple ( AAPL) and Google ( GOOG) should suddenly fear their positions in the smartphone race. But I'm willing to now give Nokia's management credit for improving the company's financial position. They've done this, while at the same time keeping Nokia's head above water as it sorts things out. Prev 0 of 4 Next

Martin Lexmond has been chosen by the School Board to become Shorewood School District's new superintendent.
The board sat in closed session multiple times over the last two weeks, deliberating between Lexmond - currently superintendent of the Kohler Public School District - and current Lake Bluff Elementary Principal Kirk Juffer, weighing the candidates against the criteria gleaned from multiple community input sessions.
"We looked at that information and how well Martin fit with that," School Board member Colin Plese said. "We considered community feedback, and our own feedback."
Lexmond will succeed current Superintendent Blane McCann, who has been with the district for nine years and will soon become superintendent of Westside Community School District in Omaha, Neb.
"It is truly humbling to have an opportunity to serve the Shorewood community. Shorewood is known and respected for its commitment to student excellence," Lexmond said in a district news release. "I am excited to lead a team with such an enthusiasm for the education of its children."
Lexmond is expected to begin the job July 1.
