AMHERST Ś Mayor David A. Taylor delivered his 11th State of the City address Monday to Amherst City Council with reports of 25 new businesses opened and 18 new homes built in 2013.
ōI am pleased to report that we continue to be fiscally sound,ö Taylor said. ōDue to our budget philosophy of priority spending on needs, not wants and frills, we have been able to avoid service reductions and layoffs.ö
In spite of a weakened economy and cutbacks, the city maintained a balanced budget, Taylor said.
ōWhile we do not have the luxury of having an abundance of money, we are able to maintain our current level of safety and utility services,ö Taylor said.
As union negotiations progress, Taylor announced a retirement in May of Police Lt. Dan Jasinski after 35 years of service. Jasinski will be replaced by Sgt. Dan Makruski, who finished first in a Civil Service test.
The city intends to use State Issue I funds to finish paving Cooper Foster Park Road to North Main Street, Taylor said. The 2014 street resurfacing and rehabilitation program is not finalized.
ōThis may take a little longer because itÆs been a tough winter on our streets,ö Taylor said.
A 1997 Ford 2 Į ton dump truck moves out of the city fleet when the street department buys a 2 Į ton dump truck with a snow plow and salt spreader at a cost of $145,000, Taylor said.
Victor Jasinski retired from the supervisor position at the Water Pollution Control Center and the Civil Service Commission handles the tests for that open position.
The electrical distribution system receives $1.8 million of improvements, including 19,500 circuit feet of 15KV overhead distribution Hendrix spacer cable and secondary wire to rebuild an open wire secondary and finish transformer upgrades, Taylor said.
New seating and shade umbrellas are planned for the pool area, Taylor said.
ōThis has been a rough winter on our streets, water and sewer lines, electrical system, as well as manpower,ö Taylor said. ōI would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to our city employees who maintain our utility services, those who provide safety, and to those who are responsible for the daily administrative work. It is our dedicated teamwork that allows us to succeed and keeps Amherst thriving.ö
Councilman Dave Goodell appreciated the mayorÆs address.
ōI thought it was very well said,ö Goodell said. ōThe mayor does a good job for the city. Overall he does a fantastic job.ö
Councilman Phil Van Treuren responded positively, too.
ōYou know what? Amherst is very lucky to have Mayor Taylor serving us,ö Van Treuren said. ōHe has done a fantastic job of keeping the city in the black in tough times. I would love nothing more than to see the mayor run for another four years. He does a great job.ö
Communication provided a key point for Councilman Joe Miller.
ōThe mayor does a fantastic job of keeping us abreast of whatÆs going on,ö Miller said. ōSo it reinforces what he has done in the past and shows us where weÆre going to go. I think the budget being as solid as it is, is a demonstration of how well the council and mayor work together.ö

Kids CampingOne of the greatest pleasures of camping is introducing young children to the wild. For them, even a small grove becomes an endless forest. No matter how young they are, kids sense the magic of camping, and having the right tools along makes them feel like one of the gang.
Bring along a child-sized air bed for your little camper. You won't have to take up space in a full size bed and they get their own place to cuddle up. A bug cage or other nature oriented discovery toy will keep them busy for hours. Their very own folding chair makes relaxing by the fire a real treat, and a portable, collapsing high chair will keep even your youngest camper safe at meals.

Rectal Prolapse (cont.)
Rectal Prolapse Treatment
Many cases of rectal prolapse are caused by constipation or straining, but correcting these may not be enough to correct the prolapse. Most prolapsed rectums worsen without surgery.

- Base-Breaking Character: Junior himself is one, for you honestly cannot decide whether he's just a troubled, misunderstood soul who just wants to be loved or an all-around Jerk Ass who just lives to cause trouble. Doesn't help that 95% of Junior's victims are Asshole Victims while the 5% is poor Ben caught in the crossfire.
- Taken to another extreme in Problem Child 2, particularly the Cassandra Truth scenario in which Junior sees Rich Bitch Lawanda Dumore for what she really is and tries to warn his dad who doesn't believe him due to Junior driving his previous dates away. After watching the scene where Ben harshly reprimands Junior for the cockroach incident and coldly ends his trust with him, you cannot decide whether Junior deserved the talking to and that Ben's blindness was perfectly justified or Ben was just being a total Jerk Ass for not believing his own son.
- Critic-Proof: This became a major hit for MCA/Universal and beat the Ducktales movie from Disney despite Problem Child getting trashed by critics (it has a 4 on Rotten Tomatoes; Ducktales is in the 80's).
- Crowning Music of Awesome: The end title song "Problem Child." Bonus awesome points for being performed by The Beach Boys. Here's the rare music video for it.
- Cult Classic: Especially on Home Video.
- Designated Hero: Junior.
- In the second movie, we got Trixie.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: According to MikeJ in his review of Problem Child 3, the movie may have "invented" Torture Porn.
- Jerkass Woobie: Junior. It's something of a "chicken or egg" issue, as he's been neglected and abused his entire life, but was also shown to be bad-ass little brat even since infancy.
- Nausea Fuel: A lot in Problem Child 2:
- The Crazy Dance sequence. Some TV airings actually cut out most of it.
- The scene where Junior tops off a pitcher of lemonade with urine, which their asshole neighbor unwittingly drinks.
- The cockroach dinner scene, especially given how huge and plentiful they were, but after Ben scolds Junior about his behavior and leaves, we see that the back of his blazer is covered in dead roaches.
- Rooting for the Empire: It's easy to feel sorry for Junior during the baseball game when the entire opposing team is maliciously chanting "son of dork" at him all while their coach does nothing and even maliciously grins at their behavior. It's also easy to feel that they got what they deserved afterwards when Junior beats them up with a baseball bat.
- Suspiciously Similar Song: Apparently, the third film couldn't afford George Thorogood's Bad to the Bone like the first two films did, so a cheap soundalike was used throughout instead.
- Villain Protagonists: Junior and Trixie.

Reviews for Kpets-Keystone Pet Enhanced Therapy Services
I am the program director for a school-based Boys and Girls Club site. We have been so lucky to have a KPETS volunteer join our program this school year. Over the course of the year, Kathy and her wonderful dog, Jazz, have worked with groups of our students to improve their reading skills. Over a series of weeks, the students are able to take turns reading to Jazz, which makes them less nervous than reading with an adult. The students are exposed to other crafts and dog-related activities as well. It is truly a great incentive to deepen their interest in reading, and the program is reaping results as well- a teacher of a current participant just came to me and said, "I don't know what you're doing with [name removed for privacy], but keep it up because her test scores are rocketing up!"

MOBILE, Ala. -- There will be no salary cap for NFL teams in 2010.
Organizations can spend whatever they want without the threat of a cap slowing them down. However, some might be conservative in what they pay potential free agents or extend current players until they see the new collective bargaining agreement.
Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones says his organization will not be part of that group.
"The only time I've ever operated in a budget, and it's one that is still difficult for me [to do], is I do budget the salary cap," Jones said. "That isn't necessarily all good, but I don't start with budget. I start with an opportunity to improve our team and work back from there."
Jones finds himself in an interesting situation before the 2010 season. He owes high salaries to some of his core players but might have to pay big money for others who are restricted free agents.
Cornerback Terence Newman will be paid a base salary of $9 million. Quarterback Tony Romo will receive $8.5 million in base salary. DeMarcus Ware, the outside linebacker who just signed a six-year deal for $78 million, gets $7.8 million in base salary.
It doesn't stop there. Roy Williams, the underachieving wide receiver, will get a guaranteed $9.5 million in bonuses in 2010 whether he's on the roster or not. His base salary, $3.4 million, seems like chump change in comparison.
Marion Barber, the starting running back who has yet to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a single season, will get a total of $7.8 million next season in base salary and roster bonuses combined.
Of course, in addition to the amount of money Jones will pay his returning players, he must also address 13 restricted free agents. At the forefront is wide receiver Miles Austin.
Austin emerged to earn his first Pro Bowl berth in 2009 after leading the team with 1,320 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. He was third in the NFL in receiving yards and first in the NFC.
The Cowboys can tender or franchise Austin or sign him to a long-term deal.
The highest tender, which Austin is expected to command, is a first- and third-round tender, which would give him a salary of $3.1 million. Austin could also get one of two franchise tags, which would pay him the average salary of the top 10 wide receivers in the league. If franchised, he could get a salary of close to $9 million.
Jones said that he would like to lock Austin up for the long term but that when it happens, it might not be to the receiver's liking. In the past, the Cowboys have extended their contracts to some of their players during the season. Austin might have to accept a franchise tag and hope he plays well in 2010 to force the Cowboys to give him more money.
Williams and Austin could be an expensive wide receiving core in 2010.
"The reality of it is you have to look back at your dollars," Jones said. "I'm not trying to be irresponsible. You have to look at the dollars, but I don't start there."
Safety Gerald Sensabaugh signed a one-year deal last season and wants a longer deal. Defensive linemen Marcus Spears, Stephen Bowen and Jason Hatcher, all valued players, are also seeking three- to five-year contracts. The Cowboys might tender those players along with Sensabaugh.
Dallas also has to find a kicker after releasing Nick Folk last season. Shaun Suisham's two misses in the playoff loss to the Minnesota Vikings didn't exactly put him atop the list of players the team wants back, either.
Jones doesn't want to give the impression that he's being cheap. He never has, but with the uncapped year nearing, he still wants the Cowboys to build on winning their first playoff game since 1996 and defending their NFC East title.
This week at the Senior Bowl practices, Jones gathered with the front office and scouting department, looking at some of the top seniors in trying to forge ahead.
He thinks the Cowboys are in better shape than they were last season. He likes the core group of players and understands that the window to winning a championship is small. Jones said the team will make personnel and scheme changes based on who's on the roster. But that's to be expected.
"We will make some changes because I've got to see us moving," he said. "We will move with an arrow up in every area and we have all the tools to do it. My point is we will be doing some things."

Lets Ride Trempealeau
This series consists of a walk just over a mile round trip on a flat and friendly bike trail.
Trempealeau WI is known to be extremely bike friendly. The Great River Bike Trail intersects town. The town is along a beautiful stretch of the Mississippi River and the state park in town is a gorgeous ride. The town is also along the popular Highway 35 scenic drive for motorcycles (motorcycles are not featured in this series). The Walkingstick crew often says Lets Ride to each other when we see all of the motorcycles and bicycles in town during the summer. This series also is a tribute to our aging, loyal dog Obi who is a veteran of many letterboxes.
Take Highway 35 to the east end of Trempealeau. Here there is a parking lot where you can get onto the Great River Bike Trail. There is a $4 fee to actually bike the Trail but you can walk it for free.
Park in the lot and walk east onto the bike trail. Take 40 steps once you hit the gravel path and look left. 17 steps off the trail there is a tree with six sisters where you can find Lets Ride. Stamp up enjoy please rehide well.
Continue down the trail. You will pass the ½ mile walker jogger mark and see a bridge just in front of you. Cross the bridge. Continue on until you see the Bridge Crossing sign on the left hand side of the trail. This sign is actually facing the other way (since you already crossed the bridge). Standing at the sign, take a reading of 230 degrees on your compass. Here you will spy an evergreen tree. You will find Obi napping behind the tree and under a rock. Stamp up enjoy please put the rock back on top of the box.
Turn around and head back out to your car.

Steinhoff in Exclusive Talks to Buy PPR's Conforama
Steinhoff International Holdings Ltd., Africa's largest furniture maker, entered into exclusive talks to buy PPR SA's Conforama chain for 1.2 billion euros ($1.59 billion) in cash to strengthen its position in Europe.
Including assumed liabilities, the offer values France's second-largest furniture retailer at 1.625 billion euros, said two people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private. PPR said the offer's total value is more than 1.5 billion euros.
For Steinhoff, acquiring Conforama would add 241 stores to the Johannesburg-based company's 951 retail outlets across Europe. PPR would move a step closer to its aim of focusing on its Gucci Group luxury goods unit and Puma AG sporting-goods division. The Paris-based company also plans to sell the Fnac music chain and mail-order retailer Redcats.
"We are very much in favor of the deal because we think it will greatly enhance Steinhoff's ability to distribute its goods in Europe and it will cut the costs of distribution for Conforama," said Wayne McCurrie, a fund manager at RMB Asset Management in Johannesburg, which holds shares in Steinhoff.
Steinhoff rose 1 rand, or 4.4 percent, to 23.60 rand in Johannesburg trading today, the highest since May, 2007. PPR shares fell 2.1 euros, or 1.7 percent, to 124.80 euros in Paris.
Shareholder Support
Excluding debt, the transaction would value Conforama at about 6.1 times 2009 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, Bloomberg calculations show.
"It certainly seems like a reasonable price and I think it's a good deal for both PPR and Steinhoff," said Mark Hodgson, an analyst Avior Research in Cape Town, who has a "buy" rating on Steinhoff.
The transaction has the support of more than 50 percent of Steinhoff's shareholders and may conclude in the next few weeks after staff representatives are consulted, the companies said.
Steinhoff has been working to acquire Conforama for four years, Chief Executive Officer Markus Jooste said in an e-mailed response to questions from Bloomberg News.
The proposed purchase "will allow us to reinforce our position as one of Europe's leading integrated furniture and household-goods companies," Jooste said in a statement.
Steinhoff operates more than 50 factories in countries such as Poland, the Netherlands, Australia and South Africa, and has more than 1,100 retail outlets. It employs about 41,000 people.
PPR Acquisitions?
Conforama ranks behind Ikea in France and also has stores in Switzerland, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Croatia.
The retailer's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization increased 32 percent to 83 million euros in the first six months of 2010 as sales rose 6.2 percent. Third-quarter sales gained 9.8 percent.
PPR may acquire more brands to bolster its luxury division and sports and lifestyle unit after selling one or two of the retail businesses, Chairman and CEO Francois-Henri Pinault said Oct. 18.
There have been 692 acquisitions announced in the retail industry in the past 12 months, according to Bloomberg data.
Burberry Group Plc, the U.K.'s largest luxury retailer, climbed as much as 6.6 percent in London trading yesterday on speculation that PPR may make a bid.
"Acquisitions in lifestyle are more likely than, say Burberry, which I think was an old idea," said Luca Solca, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein.
'A Bit Expensive'
Pinault is interested in buying Quiksilver Inc., La Tribune said today. He has reestablished contact with the California-based maker of clothing for skateboarders and surfers, as well as with Rhone Capital, which holds a 19 percent stake in Quiksilver, according to the newspaper.
Quiksilver rose as much as 18 percent in New York trading, increasing the company's market value to about $897 million.
"My fear is that in having to go out and look for brands that aren't dilutive on returns, they may today pay multiples that are a bit expensive, particularly in sports lifestyle," Fabio Fazzari, an analyst at Equity Sim SpA, said of PPR.
"PPR will take the time to buy well as it takes the time to sell well," spokeswoman Charlotte Judet said by e-mail, after earlier declining to comment on the La Tribune report.

I will try to explain the issue as best as I can.
I have completed and handed off a project that uses colorbox (a lightbox type script for those of you who have not used it) to display information when a user clicks on a link.
The team that has been given my tool loads it in an iframe on their home page. From what they have told me, the colorbox positioning is odd depending on the size of the content in the iframe.
If the content is 'short', the colorbox displays nicely (in regards to how it is positioned). If the content in the iframe is 'long', the colorbox is out of whack... the user must do much scrolling to actually see the colorbox content.
Code snippet below:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".iframe").colorbox({iframe:true, width:"80%", height:"80%"});
Then in my HTML i have this:
BLAH
Any ideas on how to make it work (position) nicely when in iframe? I am thinking that for starters the colorbox js and css would need to be added to the parent page (the page that is loading my tool into the iframe).
If someone can help me out I would be greatful. Sorry if I have not provided enough info or if what I have written makes no sense.

A laboratory experiment was conducted with two types of closed static chambers to estimate the effects of chamber placement, manual headspace sampling and headspace mixing on methane (CH4) fluxes. Chamber fluxes were compared to a known reference flux in a chamber calibration system. The measurements were conducted with three types of soils (coarse dry, fine dry and fine wet quarts sand) at five flux levels ranging from 60 to 2000 μg CH4 m−2 h−1. We found that the placement of a non-vented chamber disturbed the initial CH4 concentration development within the chamber headspace for 10 to 30 s. Excluding this short period from the flux calculation resulted in a lower flux estimate (mean±SE) of 126 ± 26 μg CH4 m−2 h−1 compared to 134 ± 26 μg CH4 m−2 h−1 if data from time zero of the enclosure were included. We also found that in non-mixed chambers (no fan mixing) the gas sampling by syringes or gas bottles disturbed the development of CH4 concentration during the enclosure. Furthermore, flux estimates in non-mixed chambers were significantly underestimated (on average 36%) compared to the measured reference fluxes. However, the use of fans to constantly mix the chamber headspace during enclosure significantly improved the goodness-of-fit of the regression analysis used to calculate the flux and further eliminated the disturbance of the manual sampling on the concentration development. We recommend that chambers should be vented during the placement of the chamber, and that fans are used as an integrated part of static chambers while headspace mixing with syringes should be avoided.

Changing the law
To date, under European regulations, farm land that includes trees does not qualify for CAP subsidies. In other words, current European legislation on farming has the effect of 'outlawing' trees in fields throughout the Union.
Only France, since 2001 and following vigorous lobbying by farmers and scientists, has recognised the practice of agroforestry and, since 2002, has actively encouraged farmers who choose to combine trees and crops, by means of agri-environmental measures. This has brought immediate results: in the past two years, approximately 1 000 hectares have been co-planted with trees, and the trend is growing.
The recent proposal for a European Council regulation on rural development makes explicit reference to agroforestry for the first time. "As this is transposed into national legislations, farmers will be able to adopt these practices without compromising their right to traditional farming subsidies," stresses Christian Dupraz. "A lot of traditional agroforestry is in fact practised and it would be a disaster if farmers were driven to pull down trees so as to qualify for European farming subsidies."
Virtual crops
As part of the SAFE project, the University of Wageningen (NL) and the INRA in Montpellier (FR) developed agronomical models. These 'simulators' take into account the characteristics of a particular crop, tree and region and then forecast the effects of combining them. Such decision-making tools are all the more valuable as it is not easy to experiment in agroforestry. To carry out field tests for ten different crops and ten varieties of trees it would require 100 hectares to identify the best combination… and take over 50 years, the average time it takes for a tree to reach maturity! Using these models it is possible, for example, to plant cherry trees virtually alongside colza in southern Germany, observe the system's limiting factors and ways of improving them, and then compare them with another combination. The experience can then be repeated for Ireland or Greece, for example.
Europe learns from the tropics
Agroforestry remains dominant in most tropical countries (90% of the surface area in Sri Lanka, for example). This constitutes a pool of knowledge and practices, studied by the major institutes of tropical agronomy, that the SAFE researchers were able to draw on. They established links with the World Centre for Agroforestry in Bogor, Indonesia, and compared their modelling techniques. The 1st World Congress on Agroforestry, held in Orlando (USA), was attended by 800 delegates from 120 countries (from Mali to Ecuador, and including the Philippines, Nepal and Malawi) and showed the global interest in the practice.

Sagem to Modernize the Navigation and Alignment System on Charles-de-Gaulle Aircraft Carrier
Sagem (Safran), the European leader in navigation systems and technologies, has won a contract from French defense procurement agency DGA as prime contractor for the modernization of the inertial navigation and alignment system (SINA) on the Charles-de-Gaulle aircraft carrier.
System modernization mainly involves the replacement of the original gimbal type inertial reference units by very-high-precision Sigma 40 laser gyro inertial navigation units.
Global Military Radar Systems Market 2015-2019
Sagem will gradually upgrade the Charles-de-Gaulle aircraft carrier navigation system. The system will supply:
data allowing Rafale fighters to align their own laser gyro navigation systems, also supplied by Sagem.
Sagem continues to work with French shipyard DCNS on the integration of high-performance navigation systems that enhance the capabilities of its shipborne weapon and combat systems. The company's expertise is reflected in new functions, tested for effectiveness, and guaranteed performance throughout the development and production cycle, all while meeting the tight deadlines imposed by the Charles-de-Gaulle's maintenance schedule.
After completion of this program, the Charles-de-Gaulle aircraft carrier will deploy a navigation system fully equivalent to new vessels already equipped with Sagem's Sigma 40 system, including Mistral class BPC amphibious assault ships, Horizon and Aquitaine frigates (FREMM program) and the upcoming Suffren class nuclear attack submarines in the Barracuda program.

My German Shepherd Sabre
To my beloved Sabre, Glamour Boy, Housemate, Companion, Defence Dog. I will ALWAYS love you and miss you.
Thank you for the wonderful two years we had together, during which you taught me so much!
I will see you again when it's time for us to be together again.
Total German Shepherd: Hi Elaine,
First of all let me say how sorry I am for your loss. Sabre was a wonderful dog I am sure and I know that you are really sad right now.
I do hope that the memories you have of him help you through this time. And it does get better - but give yourself time to grieve - it is a process and it does take time.
Sabre was well worth the cost of your tears and one days those tears will turn into smiles. Hang in there, Elaine. And thanks for sharing your wonderful Sabre with us all.

Latest Headlines
Wi-Fi offloading of cellular data is going to continue to accelerate, especially in North America and Western Europe, according to a new report from Juniper Research. The report indicates Wi-Fi networks will carry 60 percent of global smartphone and tablet data traffic by 2019, compared to just over 50 percent estimated in 2014.
Rupert Wood The volume of mobile data traffic reached 8.1 exabytes worldwide in 2012, according to Analysys Mason's " Wireless network traffic worldwide: forecasts and analysis...
Many Wi-Fi standard iterations over the years have been primarily focused on improving maximum data speeds allowed via the technology. That is starting to change as LTE networks take off and the emphasis shifts to real-world performance and the handoff between LTE and Wi-Fi networks. 802.11HEW--the HEW stands for high-efficiency WLAN--is a major part of that effort. Special report.
Cellular technologies and operator services are highly complementary to those for Wi-Fi. This symbiotic relationship will continue and grow. However, with exponential demand in growth for mobile broadband, it is essential that substantial amounts of additional spectrum be made available for cellular.
Alm ost 50 per cent of data traffic generated by mobile phones, tablets and other 3G/LTE connected devices, will be offloaded to Wi-Fi and small cell networks this year, according to a new report from Juniper Research.
Operators' concerns from several years ago that their networks would face crushing constraints due to higher mobile data traffic were overblown, according a new study from Infonetics Research. The firm claims that HSPA+ and LTE have been the primary reasons mobile operators have been able to squeeze increasing amounts of data across limited spectrum.
Mobile subscribers in North America and the Asia-Pacific region will be the drivers of a 13-fold growth rate in global mobile data traffic from 2012- 2017, according to a new report from Cisco Systems.
Alvarion said it reached a deal with a Tier 1 Japanese operator to offload the carrier's 3G data traffic to Alvarion's carrier-grade Wi-Fi base stations in Tokyo. Such a strategy could be employed in the future by additional carriers, including those in the United States.
A shift away from Wi-Fi usage in leading LTE countries could cause some operators to question their plans to install Wi-Fi to offload their cellular networks, accepting that European subscribers might respond differently to LTE availability.
Time Warner Cable is using technology from Israeli-American startup WeFi to give its customers access to more free Wi-Fi hotspots that don't require passwords.

After some time off, we are back at it. It's funny. With time off you get into a certain (less stressed) pace. When you get back to work, you realize how busy your life is from day to day. I've said to myself twice already 'I can't believe how much I do.' I'm not trying to be self-righteous. I know everyone is the same way. We get a lot done. Right? It makes me wonder do we like our hectic pace? Or, do we like the vacation mode. I wonder if sometimes we like to have the hectic pace just so we can complain about it later. Anyway, I have to run….gotta get some work done! While you are working don't forget to keep us on at Today's 101.9 or on radio.com…shameless plug!

It is a very flattering fit on the body. My absolute favorite product from adidas. It seems like the more you sweat in it, the cooler the climachil aluminum spheres get. Its quite an awesome feeling. My only regret is not buying another. ... read more
I like everything about it. The classic design of German Mannschaft shirt and the quality. And also thank you for providing many choices of Match Badges..it's really make me want to order it even more from Adidas Store . ... read more
In comparison to the Adizero version, this jersey just feels bad on. I'm 6'3 and quite skinny. It was grand for length but it fit REALLY wide. Definitely not slim fitting like the description says. The material was pretty ok for a replica version, it felt quite heavy compared to the Adizero edition, but that's to be expected. Overall, it's not great but if you know what you're buying and you're happy with it, go for it and enjoy the product. For me, I usually buy the Adizero version but decided to try the replica one this time. ... read more

I have been a fan of Adidas trainers for 20 years now and have owned many pairs of "Astroturf" trainers, my last purchase were the silver "Messi" boots and I was really disappointed, the width was narrow to say the least and I had to return them, I looked at many others in the current range and found the same problem until I came across these, the width is perfect (I am a size 10.5 - 11) the length of rubber studs are great for a 3G pitch and the "sock" makes an encouraging support and comfort. A great pair of trainers. ... read more

Aliya Sternstein recently wrote an interesting article in GovExec on how some associations with close ties to the government, such as the Air Force Association and the independent U.S. Cyber Challenge (led by former Federal CIO Karen Evans), were setting up various contests and training programs to involve young people in improving skills as cybersecurity defenders. The U.S. Cyber Challenge has both training and a contest whose winners can get scholarships to study cybersecurity. These and other organizations set up "hackathons" where young people compete with one another to defend targets against hacking.
There are obviously some potential concerns — of which the organizers are aware and which the article also discusses — that young people who learn cybersecurity defense through these kinds of programs will use their improved skills to become cyberattackers themselves. (Indeed, two participants in one of the programs were arrested in 2011 for hacking into Sony Pictures Entertainment.)
However, I bring up these efforts not specifically to discuss the cybersecurity context but rather to suggest that they are a model for an innovative way for government — in this case, indirectly — to interact with young people to help with the government's missions. This kind of interaction also occurs when agencies use contests as a procurement tool because, surprisingly often, those entering these contests are young people who would otherwise have no real way to help agencies solve mission problems.
So I am urging agency managers to think about new ways to harness the energy and enthusiasm of young people to help in government missions, other than the traditional way of having them sign up as civil servants. The missions of government are, of course, so varied that the ideas will need to be tailored to each mission. In general, agencies that are able to accept volunteer services and that have a local presence — the National Park Service comes to mind — are obvious candidates for organizing volunteer activities for young people. But the specifics are not something that can be generated by the author of a blog post (though suggestions in the form of blog comments are welcome). They are ideas smart agency managers should develop.
There are at least two obvious benefits. The first is giving agencies new ideas and new energy from this kind of participation. The second is tying a new generation of Americans more closely to the government that serves them.

Send The Away Team Where Someone Has Gone Before
July 25, 2016 5:43 AM | Thomas Faust
Earth is dying, and you're the last one to leave. Don't forget to turn out the lights. You're an AI, steering the last human spaceship into the great unknown, looking for a place to live. That's not an entirely new concept, but the way The Away Team is presented is pretty special indeed. You might call it "interactive fiction with a fancy interface," as it's mostly text-based. Steering the spaceship through different sectors, you search for places to ransack or explore, and then you pick the people for your away team. From there on, it's all text, and lots of it.

How can I get post title having its permalink only?
How can I get post title having its permalink only?
Did you search anywhere before you posted this question? You'll get the answers much more quickly if you search either something like Google or the Codex.
Having its permalink only?? As opposed to what else? I'm not quite sure what you mean.
Here's how to display the title of a post:
<?php the_title(); ?>
Here's how to display the title of a post with a link to itself:
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
I want to print the title of page number 1 on the page number 2. I know only the permalink and the ID of page number 1. I expect function like this:
Is there _any_ way to get title of non current page?
Yes... But how can I get the title of any post (not only previous or next)?
Does it need to by dynamic? You can't just type it out? If you know the ID and permalink, you obviously know the title, but that would mean you need to hand code it. Hrmm... Let me look around a bit.
Yes, it is dynamic and I can't type it manually.
I have a gallery. This gallery consits of sevaral pages (1, 2, 3 ...). On each page I want to have 5 links to some posts (link is a gellery item). But I can't write all links on each page manually. Instead of doing so I get the post ID's from some file. This file can contain only ID's or permalinks and can't contain titles of pages (if it could the would be no problem).
Here you go:
Actually, a quick Google search for "get post title for a specific post wordpress" found that as result #1. Did you search before you posted here? You would have found the answer much faster.
Thanks a lot, tsguitar! Maybe I used search incorrectly.
Can you mark this topic "Resolved"? Thanks.

Hi Everybody,
I'm getting crazy. I setup a wordpress site, everything's great. So far, so good. I register to GA and it becomes not more funny anymore. I added the tracking code to header.php, but I get the info, that it couldn't had been discovered by GA. The same problem (I guess) at G Webmaster Tools: I tried to add the xml-maps, but it doesn't work b/c of the robots.txt-file. Unfortunately I can't find that file in Total Commander, but after putting in the browser http://mysite.pl/robots.txt I get displayed
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
Please help me and enlight me what to do, it's really not the first time I setup GA but never had problems with it.
Thank you very much in advance for your help,

Mustafa Ozer, Pool, Associated Press
ISTANBUL — The United States and other nations on Friday formally recognized Libya's main opposition group as the country's legitimate government until a new interim authority is created.
The decision, which declared Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's regime no longer legitimate, will potentially free up cash that the rebels fighting Libyan forces urgently need.
The front lines in the Libyan civil war have largely stagnated since the popular uprising seeking to oust Gadhafi broke out in February. Rebels, backed by NATO's air force bombings, control much of the country's east and pockets in the west. But Gadhafi controls the rest from his stronghold in Tripoli, the capital.
Friday's final statement by the so-called Contact Group on Libya said the "Gadhafi regime no longer has any legitimate authority in Libya," and Gadhafi and certain members of his family must go.
The group said it would deal with Libya's main opposition group — the National Transitional Council, or NTC — as "the legitimate governing authority in Libya" until an interim authority is in place. In addition to the U.S., the 32-nation Contact Group on Libya includes members of NATO, the European Union and the Arab League.
The recognition of the Libyan opposition as the legitimate government gives foes of Gadhafi a major financial and credibility boost. Diplomatic recognition of the council means that the U.S. will be able to fund the opposition with some of the more than $30 billion in Gahdafi-regime assets that are frozen in American banks.
"The United States views the Gadhafi regime as no longer having any legitimate authority in Libya," said U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. "And so I am announcing today that, until an interim authority is in place, the United States will recognize the NTC as the legitimate governing authority for Libya, and we will deal with it on that basis."
The Contact Group representatives broke into spontaneous applause when Clinton announced that the U.S. recognizes the NTC, according to U.S. officials.
Rebel spokesman Mahmoud Shammam welcomed the recognition of the National Transitional Council, calling on other nations to deliver on a promise to release hundreds of millions of dollars in funds to the Libyan opposition. "Funds, funds, funds," Shammam said, in order to stress the opposition's demand.
He said the opposition hopes to hold elections within a year and resume oil exports very soon, saying the damage to oil facilities has been minimal and repaired. However, Shammam ruled out any new oil contracts until a new elected government is in place.
Ahead of the meeting in Istanbul, a spokesman for the Libyan government said its members were ready to die in defense of the country's oil against attacks by the rebels and NATO forces. "We will kill, we will die for oil," Moussa Ibrahim said. "Rebels, NATO, we don't care. We will defend our oil to the last drop of blood and we are going to use everything."
A senior U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss private diplomatic conversations with the NTC and the other Contact Group members, said Friday's decision by the Contact Group on Libya indicates strong support for the NTC and that Gadhafi's time is up.
There had been concerns about whether the initial replacement government would represent the full spectrum of Libyan society. Human Right Watch urged the Contact Group on Libya to press the opposition to ensure that civilians are protected in areas where rebels have assumed control, citing abuses in four towns — Awaniya, Rayayinah, Zawiyat al-Bagul, and Qawalish — recently captured by rebels in the western mountains, including looting, arson and beatings of some civilians who remained when government forces withdrew.

HAMPSTEAD, Md. (AP) -- Jos. A. Bank is cutting the ownership threshold of its "poison pill" to a 10 percent stake from 20 percent as it gears up for a possible proxy fight with rival Men's Wearhouse.
The retailer said Friday that it amended its shareholder rights plan so it had the same triggering ownership threshold as Men's Wearhouse's shareholder rights plan. Such a plan is designed to shield a company from a hostile takeover attempt.
The two companies have been circling each other for months.
In September, a few months after Men's Wearhouse Inc. ousted its founder and chairman, George Zimmer, Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Inc. offered to buy its larger rival for $2.3 billion, or $48 per share. Men's Wearhouse turned down that offer, and after Jos. A. Bank dropped the bid, Men's Wearhouse turned the tables with its own bid, for $1.54 billion, or $55 per share.
Then in late December, Jos. A. Bank rejected a takeover offer from Men's Wearhouse, saying the $1.54 billion bid was too low. Men's Wearhouse responded by saying that it would "carefully consider all of our options to make this combination a reality." That could include launching a proxy battle and nominating director candidates at Jos. A. Bank's next annual meeting.
Jos. A. Bank has said that it will continue to look into acquisition opportunities that would create value for its shareholders.
Hampstead, Md.-based Jos. A. Bank sells men's tailored and casual clothing and shoes. It's known for ads that say consumers can buy one suit or sport coat and get three for free. Fremont, Calif.-based Men's Wearhouse sells men's clothing and suits through its namesake chain of stores, as well as Moores and the K&G retail chain. Recently, the company has been going after younger shoppers with suits with slimmer silhouettes.
Shares of Jos. A. Bank shed 27 cents to $54.39 in Friday morning trading. Shares of Men's Wearhouse added 35 cents to $50.75.

Rovio has revealed its latest addition for Angry Birds Seasons, a special St. Patricks day bundle of levels for the pig-busting title. "Go Green, Get Lucky" will be released imminently for Android gamers (as well as those playing it on iOS devices, with Palm and Nokia following on afterwards).
Beyond the color-scheme and some big, traditionally Irish hats, the St. Patricks day update is pretty much in keeping with everything we've seen from Angry Birds before. That means towering stacks of pigs, various feathered weapons and the sort of addictive gameplay that makes you miss your stop on the bus.
Angry Birds Seasons is a free download for Android handsets. More details on the new levels in the video below.

Dont pay attention to haters... some of the older people at work gave me a hard time but my answer was always "I've been if F'in school for 25 years!!! i took a major in college that was actually useful and made me work hard for all 4 years... same in Grad school... I am sorry you're pissed at your own life choices, but don't resent mine!!!.... also... your mom is fat!!!"
To be honest i "think" this more often "say" it... only because I see so many people that pissed/drank away their 20s and now upset in their early 30s because they have fuck-all to show from their last decade in this world
Also you'll know it him in the OR coz he'll come to pre-op in an ///M baseball cap, ///M leather jacket, ///M t-shirt and ///M pants n shoes( not sure if last two exist

jks (hopefully you get it this time...but just in case ... I AM JOKING)
that said, i know you said that you are a soon to be minted MD and are excited about it (as you should be) but the MEDUSA too much IMO... the exception is, if you are a super-hot drug rep in which case you can do what ever you want it will always be prefect.
i know this is coming for someone with their own vanity plate (namely me, and NO its not my name) but not everyone knows what mine means is and this forum is evidence that people are too lazy to Google anything
