Mobile Theme Ads for Jetpack, is easy to use and allows you to ad Google ads which is great because half of my traffic is mobile. I make a few dollars ever day with this mobile app. The ad is positioned on the bottom of the page,I would like to know how I can add a second Google ad at the top.
I cannot understand why this plug-in is not better known. I found it yesterday (after running my self-hosted site with AdSense for a year) and added it.
It is already generating income for me, and over the course of a year the additional sum is going to be noticeable - possibly an extra 10% on top of my existing AdSense income.
A 320 x 50 ad unit does seem to be the best option, it tucks in nicely between the post and the sharing buttons. Looks fine on an iPhone 5, have yet to try it on a device with a bigger screen.
300 x 250 ads didn't work for me. But 250 x 250 worked like a charm.
Also, if you want to center the ad (as Anton was pointing out), just edit line 45 to look something like this:
return $content . '<center>' . $ads . '</center>';

All Rise...
Judge Clark Douglas prefers autumn in peace negotiation time.
The Charge
In 1945 Holland, a boy must choose between good and evil.
Opening Statement
"You're a real bastard."
Facts of the Case
Michiel (Martijn Lakemeier) is a 13-year-old boy living in Nazi-occupied Holland. Through a series of complicated circumstances, Michiel finds himself in the position of aiding a wounded British paratrooper (Jamie Campbell Bower, Sweeney Todd) hiding out in a small cabin in the woods. As time passes, the situation grows increasingly complicated and Michiel has difficulty attempting to figure out which of his friends and family members he can trust. Has the young boy stepped into a situation he's incapable of handling?
The Evidence
One of the most interesting things about Martin Koolhoven's Winter in Wartime is the manner in which it depicts a country existing on the fringes of a massive global conflict. The full effects of the war can't really be felt in WWII-era Holland, though the ominous presence of the Nazis is certainly a source of concern for the locals. Every now and then something alarming will occur (the Nazis march into a neighbor's house or arrest a citizen in the middle of the street), but their actions are vague and infrequent enough that no one really goes into a panic.
Michiel is in a particularly difficult position, as he is old enough to carefully observe what the adults around him are doing but not old enough to be invited into their private conversations. It's a time of immense uncertainty, and there's often no easy way of telling which side one particular citizen may be on. Perhaps a person is co-operating with the Nazis because he wants to, or perhaps because he feels has to, or perhaps he's only appearing to co-operate with the Nazis while secretly plotting against them. One senses that there's nothing Michiel would like more than to know which side he's supposed to be on, who the "good guys" are and how to go about defeating the "bad guys" in an effective manner.
When Michiel makes the decision to aid the paratrooper, it's not because the paratrooper is British or because Michiel has any strong political views. His first motivation is that the young man is wounded, and helping him seems to be the right thing to do. His second motivation is the basic fascination of having a secret project of sorts to work on; in a way Michiel regards the paratrooper as his own personal pet in the woods. Through his interactions with his new friend and through conversations with his father (Raymond Thiry) and Uncle Ben (Yorick van Wageningen), Michiel slowly begins to get a grasp on the slippery truth of what is what.
Though Winter in Wartime takes place during WWII, the film hews closer to the suspense/thriller genre. Koolhaven demonstrates a real knack for fusing observant naturalism with immensely polished cinematic technique. That fusion makes for an intriguing viewing experience, as the film frequently shifts gear from an arthouse-like exploration of these people and the world they live in to a brisk, tense thriller. In a way, the intense moments are made more effective by the manner in which they spring forth out of a considerably more sedate film. This is clearly the effort of a top-notch craftsman; don't be surprised if Koolhaven is recruited to helm some sort of American prestige project in the near future.
In many ways, Winter in Wartime feels like a WWII movie for the No Country for Old Men era; an emotionally involving but cynical look at the world that wraps everything in aching shades of gray and delivers unsettling catharsis. When the war ends and people celebrate in the streets of Holland, Martin stares bitterly out the window. He is too overwhelmed by the harsh realities of what he has seen to participate in a parade. And yet, the closing scene is one of surprising optimism and warmth; a tender little dialogue-free moment that concludes the proceedings on precisely the right note.
Winter in Wartime marches onto Blu-ray sporting a very handsome 1080p/2.35:1 transfer. The film's cool, wintry palette (dominated by assorted shades of white, blue and gray) is a pleasure to absorb, and the level of detail is pristine throughout. Blacks are deep and inky, flesh tones are warm and natural and the occasional bursts of bright color are striking. Audio is also impressive, highlighted by a fantastic score courtesy of Italian composer Pino Donaggio. It's such a pleasure to hear the kind of intensely emotional music Donaggio provides; it's similar to and on par with his best work for Brian De Palma thrillers of the 1970s and 1980s (and so many of the film's best moments owe much of their impact to the power of the score). Dialogue (usually Dutch, but sometimes English) is clean and clear and the spare sound design is distributed in an immersive manner. The only extras are a brief making-of featurette and a theatrical trailer.
Closing Statement
Winter in Wartime may be a somewhat inconsistent film, but it delivers several cinematic moments of remarkable power and acquits itself well enough the rest of the time. The Blu-ray looks and sounds great, too.

1. Technical Field
The disclosure herein relates to a cannula assembly for use in surgical procedures, and particularly to a cannula housing connection.
2. Background of Related Art
Cannula assemblies are typically used in minimally invasive surgical procedures such as laparoscopic, endoscopic, and arthroscopic operations. In minimally invasive procedures the operating instrumentation is typically deployed through a narrow cannula inserted through a small opening or incision in the body to reach an interior operating site. In some procedures, for example abdominal surgery, the body cavity is insufflated with an inert gas. Cannula assemblies are often required to have a seal to prevent the egress or entry of fluids from or into the body. For example, some cannula assemblies include a flapper valve to provide a seal between the cannula assembly and the instrumentation deployed therethrough. See for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,943,280 to Lander, herein incorporated by reference, which discloses a self sealing flapper valve for an insufflation cannula assembly.
Also, sealing is generally required between the cannula itself and the housing to which it is connected. For example, an O-ring or other gasket, is often used as a sealing component between the cannula tube and the housing, either alone or incombination with glues, adhesives, sonic welding, or the like.
It would be advantageous in certain situations, however, to have a connectable cannula and housing which facilitate sealing and which might be effectuated by the user of the product.
A cannula assembly is provided which includes: (i) a cannula defining a longitudinal axis and having a free distal end and a proximal end portion; (ii) an adapter ring defined at the proximal end portion of the cannula, the adapter ring having a first sealing surface oriented at a first angle relative to the longitudinal axis; and (iii) a cannula housing having a port structure for association with the adapter ring. The port structure includes a second sealing surface for sealing contact with the first sealing surface, the second sealing surface being oriented at a second angle from the longitudinal axis, the second angle differing from the first angle by from about 3� to about 10�.
Manual engagement of the adapter ring and housing, e.g., through threading or the like, enables disassembly and replacement of the cannula assembly components by the user of the product. Advantageously, interaction between the first and second sealing surfaces obviates the need for a separate sealing member, such as a gasket or O-ring, to obtain a fluid tight seal.
Various embodiments are described below with reference to the drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view showing a cannula assembly according to the present disclosure;
FIG. 2 is a sectional side view of a cannula which defines an adapter ring at the proximal end thereof;
FIG. 3 is a sectional side view of the adapter ring;
FIG. 4 is a sectional side view of a cannula housing;
FIG. 5 is a detailed sectional view of the joint between the adapter ring and the cannula housing.
In the description which follows, the term "proximal", as is traditional, will refer to the portion of the structure which is closest to the operator, while the term "distal" will refer to the portion which is furthest from the operator.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, the cannula assembly 10 includes a cannula 20, which is designed for connection to a cannula housing 50. Cannula 20 is a tubular body 21 having a distal end 22, a proximal end portion 23 and an axial bore 24, and defines a longitudinal axis of the cannula assembly 10. Cannula 20 is distally insertable into an incision or other small opening in a wall of body tissue to gain access to an operating site and is typically from about 70 mm to about 150 mm in length and defines an aperture of from about 3 mm to about 15 mm in diameter. The housing 50 can optionally contain a flapper valve or other sealing mechanism (not shown) for gaseous sealing both in the absence and in the presence of a surgical instrument and optionally a stopcock port (not shown) for introduction of inert gas for insufflation. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,943,280.
Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, an adapter ring 30 serves as an adapter to connect the cannula 20 to the housing 50. Adapter ring 30 may be formed on or fixedly mounted (e.g., by welding, gluing or mechanical interaction) to the proximal end portion 23 of cannula 20. Adapter ring 30 generally includes a cylindrical body 31 having an annular distal end surface 32, an annular proximal end surface 33, a bevelled interior annular surface 34, a threaded exterior circumferential surface 35, a circumferential notch 36, a proximally facing angled annular sealing surface 37, a circumferential outer surface 38 and an interior bore 39. In designs wherein adapter ring 30 is a distinct member from cannula 20, interior bore 39 provides a passage through which the proximal end portion 23 of cannula 20 may be disposed.
Circumferential notch 36 typically takes the form of an undercut which helps to ensure that the interconnection of cannula 20 with cannula housing 50, e.g., through interacting threads, does not bottom-out before annular sealing surface 37 effectively seals with a corresponding sealing surface on housing 50, as discussed hereinbelow. Sealing surface 37 is generally oriented at an angle A of from about 40� to about 50� with respect to the longitudinal axis of cannula assembly 10 and, preferably, angle A ranges from about 44� to about 46� relative to the longitudinal axis. Sealing surface 37 is adapted to engage a corresponding sealing surface 57 in housing 50, as explained below. Threaded surface 35 is adapted to engage a corresponding threaded surface 55 on housing 50.
Adapter ring 30 is preferably fabricated from a metal alloy, e.g., titanium, or other suitable biocompatible material having strength and resilience sufficient for the purposes described herein. In designs where adapter ring 30 and cannula 20 are fabricated as an integral member, such integral member is preferably fabricated from a suitable metal or biocompatible plastic, preferably a material that may be cleaned, sterilized and used on multiple occasions.
Referring now to FIGS. 4 and 5, housing 50 is also fabricated from a suitable biocompatible material, e.g., a plastic material such as ABS, and typically includes a generally cylindrical wall 51 connected to a proximal flange portion 58, a distal end 52, a proximal end 53, and an axial bore 59 extending therethrough. An important feature of cannula assembly 10 is the port structure 54 in cannula housing 50, which is adapted to interact with and sealingly engage adapter ring 30.
Port structure 54 defines an opening adapted to receive adapter ring 30 and includes a threaded surface 55 adapted to engage threaded surface 35 of adapter ring 30. Port structure 54 also includes an annular lip 61 having a distally facing angled annular sealing surface 57 which is adapted to contact corresponding sealing surface 37, a circumferential notch 56 in the vicinity of sealing surface 57, and a circumferential notch 62 providing a space between port structure 54 and wall 51. Notch 56 advantageously allows flexure when sealing surface 57 engages sealing surface 37 of adapter ring 30, thereby facilitating sealing engagement therebetween.
Sealing surface 57 is oriented at an angle C of preferably from about 30� to about 43� with respect to the longitudinal axis of cannula 20 and more preferably, angle C ranges from about 39� to about 41� with respect to the longitudinal axis. Sealing surfaces 57 and 37 define annular planes which, prior to contact therebetween, are in substantially non-parallel relationship to each other. The difference between angle C and angle A preferably ranges from about 3� to about 10� and more preferably from about 4� to about 6�. Angle C is preferably less than angle A although, in the alternative, angle C can be greater than angle A by a differential in the range set forth above.
As noted above, circumferential notch 56 is sized to permit resilient outward flexing of lip 61 sufficient to insure that the contact between sealing surfaces 37 and 57 provides a fluid tight seal. Circumferential notch 62 advantageously permits resilient flexing of the port 54 sufficient to provide for a secure engagement between threaded surfaces 55 and 35.
The threaded engagement between the housing 50 and the insert 30 enables the cannula assembly to be disassembled for the substitution or replacement of one or more components (e.g. cannula 20 and/or housing 50) while providing for a fluid tight seal with a corresponding substituted component. Such disassembly may also facilitate separate cleaning and/or sterilization of respective components, and may permit pairing of housings and/or cannulas of various sizes. Thus, a housing 50 adapted to accommodate instruments of one diameter, e.g., up to 10 mm, may be affixed to a cannula 20 designed to accommodate instruments of a different diameter, e.g., 5 mm and less, thereby increasing the flexibility and potential cost effectiveness of the cannula assembly. It is also contemplated that the assembly/disassembly system described herein may prove advantageous in the mass production of cannula assemblies that are not intended to be disassembled and reassembled by product users.
It will be understood that various modifications may be made to the embodiments disclosed herein. For example, various materials of construction may be used. The housing 50 may contain other sealing means such as flapper valves, iris valves, duck valves, and the like. Therefore, the above description should not be construed as limiting, but merely as exemplifications of preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art will envision other modifications within the scope and spirit of the claims appended hereto.

Thanks! Slime builds and runs nicely, too. I also had to disable a test: in contrib/sb-posix/posix-tests.lisp, the test "utimes.1" fails, and I'm guessing it's because the structure returned by stat() has three time_t objects at the end, which something in sbcl treats as the wrong size: the test is happy with the first one, but says the second is wrong. Having snooped around some more, I think there's quite a bit of work that needs to be done to get sbcl to be completely portable among systems using different data types for the various structure members handled by system calls. For instance, in src/code/unix.lisp, we find: #!-(or win32 openbsd netbsd) (define-alien-type nil (struct timeval (tv-sec time-t) ; seconds (tv-usec suseconds-t))) ; and microseconds ;; The above definition doesn't work on 64-bit OpenBSD platforms. ;; Both tv_sec and tv_usec are declared as long instead of time_t, and ;; time_t is a typedef for int. #!+(or openbsd netbsd) (define-alien-type nil (struct timeval (tv-sec long) ; seconds (tv-usec long))) ; and microseconds #!+win32 (define-alien-type nil (struct timeval (tv-sec time-t) ; seconds (tv-usec long))) ; and microseconds Now, this is obviously wrong for NetBSD-current, where the first version above is actually correct (it uses time_t and suseconds_t) (and, in fact, I suspect it was never truly right for NetBSD anyway; it just happened to work), but changing this bit of code to actually specify the timeval structure correctly causes sbcl to crash even earlier and less intelligibly than the original localtime problem did. -tih -- Self documenting code isn't. User application constraints don't. --Ed Prochak

Jon Bach
THEN: - before Puget -
I began my career with a local printing company, where I worked my way up from being temporary labor to being a full-time service representative. When the company needed a fleet of computers, I was selected as the project coordinator and computer systems manager. Those opportunities led to the responsibility of their website creation and to managing their internal systems. The experience and confidence I gained from these responsibilities are what made Puget Systems possible.
NOW: - here at Puget -
I started Puget Systems in 2000...it seems like a lifetime ago, and it also feels like just yesterday! I've enjoyed growing the business, repeatedly moving locations to accommodate our growth. I appreciate being able to run a company with integrity and old fashioned values, and I am fortunate to have great people here that share those values. Few of us here have an extensive background in the computer industry, and the more I get involved in the industry, the more I see that this is a very good thing. There is so much hype and disregard for the end user in this field, so I appreciate that we can detach ourselves from that and bring a fresh approach to building computers.
I built my first computer myself while I was in high school, which was an interesting learning process. I used the cheapest parts I could find online. Should I admit that it caught on fire? It definitely taught me that the cheapest hardware is often higher cost in the end, after you put out the fires and replace everything that breaks!
I appreciate speed, but more than anything I value reliability. To that end, I am a believer in simplicity. No RAID for me, no SLI, no liquid cooling. Give me a simple computer, with a modern platform and quiet cooling, and I am happy. It's a toss-up between our Obsidian and Genesis I, but I'd probably go with the Genesis I for speed (this is a DREAM computer, after all).
I love lightweight programs that run fast. There are a number of these programs I install on any computer: Paint.NET, Open Office, Google Chrome, Notepad++ (for programming), 7Zip, CCleaner, and VLC.
LIFE: - outside Puget's walls -
I am an avid trumpet player, and enjoy nothing more than the opportunity to volunteer for any church orchestra or musical I can find. I enjoy spending time outside with my wife and kids, and taking the jeep up into the mountains. Drive as high as you can on a logging road, then get out and scramble the rest of the way to the top!

I love travelling with this case. The rolling case and hard shell protection makes it a breeze. There is enough room inside for power cable and a few other small items. Check your airline restrictions carefully before flying with this as a carry-on item. I have taken one on three flights now, and two of them I was technically one inch over the size limit. But on all three flights, they let me through with no problem, and there was plenty of room for it in the overhead bin.

I don't know who decided what permissions to give different user levels, but I can't use any of the levels. They give permissions I don't want at lower levels, and permissions I do want are not given.
May I suggest making user level permissions to be set by the actual owner of the blog? A nice interface with check boxes, so we can decide what we want to give and not give?
I want my registered users to be able to edit their own comments. BTW only their own comments. I don't want a user of level one to be able to write a draft. You give that permission and no editing of their own comment? I don't want anyone except in the upper levels to be able top write an article at all!
I honestly think this should be blog owner configurable.
thanks for a great product and your time.

It seems like this should be really simple but I can't seem to figure it out - all I want to do is make it so the POST TITLE shows on the top of the post in larger letters - the date and author etc can all stay down at the bottom of the post. I can't seem to find directions on how to do this and it seems like it should be really easy - it's driving me nuts.
if you look at this page:
you can see what I mean - the post title is in tiny letters BELOW the post - not sure who would prefer it down there but...I want to move the title up top and make the lettering bigger and change the color.
thanks in advance for your help!

Slideshow: What people earn
The Parade magazine inside today's Star includes its annual feature on what Americans in various jobs are paid, peeking into their paychecks. To accompany that report, the Star compiled the top salaries paid by Southern Arizona's largest employers and by its biggest publicly traded firms.
Total compensation figures from public companies may differ from totals listed on company proxy statements. The Star utilizes a formula, also used by The Associated Press, that excludes changes in pension value and non-qualified deferred compensation earnings from total compensation.

Business Programs Accreditation | Peirce College
The Peirce College Business Administration program has been accredited by Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) since 1999 and was last reaffirmed in April 2012. The Peirce College Accounting program was one of the first to receive the separate Specialized Accounting Accreditation by ACBSP in 2012. ACBSP accreditation is a "seal of approval" indicative of standards of high quality in the design, deployment, assessment, and continuous improvement of the program, its curriculum, and its processes.
ACBSP is the leading specialized accreditation association for business education supporting, celebrating, and rewarding teaching excellence. The association embraces the virtues of teaching excellence and emphasizes to students that it is essential to learn how to learn. ACBSP acknowledges the importance of scholarly research and inquiry and believes that such activities facilitate improved teaching. ACBSP encourages faculty involvement within the contemporary business world to enhance the quality of classroom instruction and to contribute to student learning.
Our Business Administration and Accounting graduates offer their employers the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to recognize problems and opportunities, offer solutions, and make effective decisions. Additionally, the ACBSP accreditation standards are based on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award process, the widely-acknowledged business "gold standard" that requires regular reporting on the results of continuous improvement plans.
The following chapters of the 2012 Peirce College ACBSP self-study reports illustrate our commitment to student achievement and the assessment of student learning:

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Sep 01st, 1993
Running Time: 77
Director: F J Lincoln
Company: Sin City Entertainment
Cast: Marc Wallice, Lyndon Johnson, Tom Byron, Sunset Thomas, Monique (I), Nikki Shane, Zack Thomas, Cash (I), Steven St. Croix
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Monique, aka Thumper, seems to be happily married to Zack Thomas, but the snake appears in paradise in the person of Marc Wallice, Zack's ne'er-do-well, womanizing cousin. Wallice's sexual exploits provoke flashbacks of Monique's freer, more sexually expressive days. Marc starts off with petite Nikki Shane in the bath, where Nikki really bounces her butt on Marc, and sucks him to a facial finish, as Monique flashes on a similar porcelain pussy-poking.
Wallice's friends Brittany and Steve couple for Monique, but this scene is too self-consciously pretty to catch fire. Marc takes on busty Lyndon Johnson, and Monique joins in for a threeway enhanced by the facial resemblance between the two blondes. This provokes a flashback to a "hippie" threeway with Monique joining Tom Byron and Cash, as Tom plows Monique's pussy and Cash's butthole. Inspired by her sexual reawakening, Monique runs off with Wallice, leaving Zack to be consoled by Sunset in an anticlimactic scene. Monique is pretty, but her inexpressive face and lackluster performance aren't enough to carry the slightly pretentious script.
The camerawork and production values are of good quality; and while 1 didn't care for the soap opera-style piano music, producer Rhodes deserves credit for making a non-porn music choice of clear quality. A pretty good couples' tape with an interesting marketing campaign. And if Monique sticks to this kind of stuff, she's got great potential.

I hope this makes sense, if not please ask and I will try again...
I am using WP 2.0
I was trying to create a post with a nested bulleted list with *line spaces* in between the bullet entries which I added manually. Example:
NOTE -- for example I will use asterisks and o's (* o) DAHSES show spaces as I notice the spaces were removed when I posted this message.
* First entry
* Second entry
-- o First entry
-- o Second entry
* Third entry
* Fourth entry
This there were a few paragraphs AFTER the bulleted list ended.
Each time I tried to save the post the bulleted list got messed up. The indents just disappeared and the extra line spaces were removed.
One Example:
* now is the time for all good men... now is the time for all good men... now is the time for all good men...
NOTICE -- the bullet would up at the margin and the second line follow at the margin. The bullet indent completely disappeared.
I even tried to go out of Rich Text and I could not *even though* I chose the option to take me out of Rich Text.
Please advise.

Of Jobs and 'Stimulus'
Business is preparing for a long downturn.
Friday's jobs report for November wasn't a surprise but was no less distressing for that. The loss of half a million jobs in the month, plus about 240,000 more than previously estimated for September and October, underscores the severity of the current downturn. After a year of holding out hope for a milder recession, employers are now hunkering down for harder times.
The jobless rate jumped to 6.7%, from 6.5% in October, but the increase would have been higher save for a 422,000 decline in the labor force. Many workers aren't even bothering to look for jobs they assume will be hard to find. Unemployment has now increased by 2.3 percentage points in the last 20 months, which economist Michael Darda points out is the most rapid rise over a comparable period in 25 years.

It's an ugly picture, and it is likely to get worse given that employment typically lags trends in economic growth. The U.S. is heading toward 8% joblessness, or higher, in the coming months no matter what the government does. And perhaps higher still if it makes policy mistakes.
On that score, it's worth recalling that the vaunted bipartisan "stimulus" of last February has been a miserable failure. The National Bureau of Economic Research -- the outfit that formally identifies "recessions" -- has now said that this downturn began in the fall of 2007. The tax rebates and spending were supposed to spur consumption and growth, but they did nothing to alter incentives to take risks or invest. Though the "stimulus" was as avidly promoted by Democrats like Larry Summers as it was by the White House, Republicans got the blame on November 4.
Nonetheless, the lesson Washington seems to be drawing is that we should do it all again, only more so. Democrats are now mooting as much as $700 billion in spending, on more jobless benefits, roads, rapid transit and anything else the political class has been trying to fund for years. While this will create some jobs, it won't re-ignite the business confidence that will spur investment and new private job creation. As we've been saying for more than a year, the fiscal "stimulus" the economy really needs is a big tax cut -- one that is immediate, marginal and permanent. It worked for Jack Kennedy and Ronald Reagan; Barack Obama should try it.

What we're up to
This is the fourth and final instalment of our reality check on four crunchers that appeared early last April, when the stock markets were plunging. At that time, we focused on stocks and income trusts that ranked both well and not-so-well as wealth creators for shareholders using a strict gauge of profitability called economic value added, or EVA. Here, we look at income trusts that last April received top marks as wealth creators. How have they fared in the stock market rebound?
Today's screen
In our original screen, we looked for trusts with yields of more than 4 per cent, that had fallen more than 20 per cent over the previous 12 months, and that scored a 1.0 or more on what's known as the economic performance index, or EPI. As used by the Montreal-based analysis firm Stockpointer (stockpointer.ca), the EPI is a way of comparing corporate wealth creation across different sectors. Technically speaking, the EPI is a ratio of a stock's return on capital to its cost of capital, including debt and shares.
What we found
Almost all of our wealth-creating income trusts have rebounded nicely from their levels of March 31, but not as much as the broader stock market or other groupings of stocks we've looked at this week. On average, the trusts presented here are up a bit over 37 per cent. The top wealth creating stocks we looked at yesterday averaged a gain of almost 89 per cent since the market depths of March 31, and the not-so-great wealth creators we checked in with on Wednesday made almost 61 per cent on average (their high dividend yields must have been an attraction). Meantime, the S&P/TSX composite is up more than 50 per cent from its March lows. What's the deal with trusts? Perhaps investors are being cautious as we approach the 2011 introduction of a new federal trust tax. Note that Stockpointer supplied up-to-date EPI numbers and each of the trusts on the list remains a solid creator of wealth for shareholders.
Addendum: Some readers have questioned the dividend data for stocks mentioned in the first three of this week's cruncher series. They reflect dividends actually paid over the previous 12 months and do not use the current quarterly payout as a reference. Today's yields reflect current dividend payouts.Report Typo/Error

The Acute Dying Experience
Date: Spring 2008
Creator: Sabom, Michael B.
Description: Article discussing the acute dying experience (ADE), which incorporates peritraumatic dissociation and hyperarousal into an experiential continuum lasting seconds to minutes. It is instantly triggered by the sudden, clear perception of threat of significant injury and/or death and followed, at times, by physical trauma, physiological derangement, and loss of consciousness. Results from this and other studies show that paradoxically the more terrifying and traumatic an accident may appear, the more peaceful and painless it may actually be experienced.

Afterlife Research and the Shamanic Turn
Date: Autumn 2001
Creator: Grosso, Michael
Description: Abstract: In Western culture, approaches to the afterlife have mutated throughout history, from shamanism and mythology to philosophy, spiritualism, and psychical research. For conceptual reasons, however, survival research seems to many to be languishing, despite some remarkable recent advances. I urge a return to a more experience-based approach, modeled after features of the near-death experience, for its practical benefits; I intend that approach to complement other forms of research, not displace them. Finally, I underscore the unique status of survival research as a scientific pursuit.

Afterward: Making Meaning After a Frightening Near-Death Experience
Date: Winter 2002
Creator: Bush, Nancy Evans
Description: Abstract: The routes by which individuals attribute meaning to a near-death experience (NDE) appear to be similar, whether the experience was radiant or terrifying. This article explores three such avenues in relation to frightening experiences. I argue that resisting a terrifying NDE is likely to intensify fearfulness in an individual, and also that a similar effect occurs within society when this type of experience is resisted and misunderstood. The article concludes with an approach to synthesis and suggested techniques that may be useful in integrating the experience.

This anti-acne toner is medicated with 1% salicylic acid, though it cannot function as an exfoliant due to this product's pH being too high (the company told us all of their products are formulated at a pH between 4.5–6.5, but salicylic acid works best in a pH between 3–4).
Even if the salicylic acid could benefit acne-affected skin, this toner is an irritation waiting to happen because it's LOADED with fragrant oils known to be irritating. Since acne is red and swollen, the last thing breakout-prone skin needs are ingredients capable of making those unsightly issues worse—and some of the citrus oils this contains can cause a phototoxic reaction on skin when it's exposed to sunlight (Source: www.naturaldatabase.com).
In short, this toner is a bad idea for all skin types and not recommended for anyone struggling with breakouts. See More Info to learn how irritation hurts skin.
Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22).

Comments about Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing All Over Toner:
I bought this off a recommendation and it's good but it's not a holy-grail product. My skin is far to sensitive to use a super concentrated amount of salicylic acid on my skin. My skin tends to break out all over the place and this spray provides a overall coverage that doesn't make me have to spread a lot of any other product around. It doesn't break me out and it doesn't over dry my skin which is very important to me. I really enjoy this product but I probably won't rebuy it unless its on sale because I'm not sure it's worth the price now.

I suspect a problem....
By Lisa F
from undisclosed
I cannot be sure but I suspect this product caused a strange reaction around my nose and mouth. I received a sample recently and tried it out for a couple of days just focusing the product around my nose and chin where I am prone to break out. Well I now have this horrible flaky dry white skin all around my nose! It looks like I have had a bad cold or something except there is no redness just horrible flaking pieces of leathery white skin. Not at all pretty.
This unique mist-all-over purifying toner controls excess oils and helps eliminate breakouts on the face and body. Refreshing extracts help cool and revive skin.
Active ingredient: Salicylic Acid 1.00%. Other ingredients: Water / Aqua / Eau, Hamamelis Virginiana Water, Isoceteth-20, Ethoxydiglycol, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Porphyra Umbilicalis Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract, Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil, Citrus Limon Fruit Oil, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernel Extract, Serenoa Serrulata Fruit Extract, Sesamum Indicum Seed Extract, Citral, Hexylene Glycol, Geraniol, Limonene, Polysorbate 20, Disodium EDTA, Butylene Glycol, Linalool, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol.
Dermalogica At-A-Glance
Strengths: Good eye-makeup remover; a unique skin-lightening product; a couple of commendable moisturizers, one with stabilized vitamin C.
Weaknesses: Expensive; almost every category has one or more products that contain irritating ingredients with no established benefit for skin; Clean Start and MediBac lines are particularly disappointing; the SPF products tend to be mediocre to poor.
Dermalogica's name implies a logical relationship to dermatology, which makes it sound as if you are getting serious skin care. The subtitle on their products is even more commanding: "A Skin Care System Researched and Developed by the International Dermal Institute." But what is the International Dermal Institute, you ask? Are there any dermatologists there? Apparently not: The International Dermal Institute is a Dermalogica-owned school for aestheticians who want an education beyond what is required for their cosmetology license, and the classes are taught by aestheticians.
Does the professional atmosphere of the school associated with Dermalogica mean better products? The proof is in the pudding, and this pudding is, for the most part, just Jell-O, not chocolate mousse. A company so concerned with skin-care education should be ashamed of itself for offering so many products that damage skin with known irritants and, more egregiously, offering so many sunscreens that lack sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients. Dermalogica's education-oriented, serious-minded, and clinical positioning doesn't mesh with the majority of their products, and is on par with tobacco company executives teaching an aerobics class.
According to company history, the reason Dermalogica products came to be was that founder Jane Wurwand could not find a spa-oriented skin-care line that met her criteria. She was dismayed that so many skin-care lines aimed at the aesthetics market had products that contained alcohol, artificial colors, fragrance, mineral oil, and lanolin, ingredients that she believed had a well-documented history of problems. That's true for fragrance and alcohol (and artificial colors to a lesser extent), but mineral oil and lanolin have no documented history of causing skin problems. If anything, quite the opposite is true. Further, if Dermalogica's founders were so concerned about potentially or definitively harmful ingredients, why do their products contain so many of them? Where is the research proving that lavender oil, camphor, balm mint, arnica, ginger oil, and citrus oils are helpful for skin?

Throwback — Chris Stapleton Buffalo Listener Eat + Greet [VIDEOS]
After his big wins at the wins at the CMA's, I thought it fitting to share this throwback of Chris Stapleton when he stopped in Buffalo. Enjoy!
Chris Stapleton isn't the new kid on the block -- in fact, he has written hit songs for many of today's country superstars, including Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, George Strait and Darius Rucker, and he even wrote a huge pop record for Adele.

AbstractAs a result of continuing advances in magnetic materials, compression of circuit physical architecture, increase in magnetic component packaging density and faster switching speed, the heat dissipation rate of next generation military power converter systems will require operation at significantly higher heat flux levels than current power converters. The goal of this SBIR Phase I program is the development of novel magnetic materials with optimal characteristics to meet the required high temperature and electrical operating requirements for military power converters. A further goal of this program is the development of a thermal management approach that utilizes a phase change process coupled with the use of a unique high thermal conductivity 3-D carbon structure to meet the power converter heat dissipation requirements. The design of the 3-D carbon structure would be engineered to provide a high surface area to volume ratio heat exchanger element that would enable a compact, light-weight highly effective heat exchanger device. Further, the design of the 3-D carbon structure will ensure that the local heat flux within the active heat exchange device is sufficient to maintain the power converter operation for continuous and pulse power operation. The proposed thermal management concept will be capable of maintaining the magnetic components at or below their required maximum operating temperature, thus, ensuring system reliability and life.

Universal Display (PANL +0.1%) has bought 1,200 patents and applications from Fujifilm related to OLED display technology for $105M. The purchase strengthens PANL's position as the OLED market's main technology provider, and is accompanied by a partnership that will result in Fuji providing materials to OLED manufacturers. Separately, KeyBanc predicts PANL will report a strong Q2 on August 8, thanks partly to Samsung's growing OLED smartphone sales.

Miss Ralston introduces each 9th grader before his or her speech. She tells the audience interesting facts about the speakers such as how long they've attended Upland, and what their favorite color is.
The Ninth graders project their visual aids from the computer onto a big screen.
Ali C. was our first speaker this year. She told us what she'd learned from the year she spent living in France.
Meredith M. spoke about a bad injury she had while horseback riding.
One of the lessons she had for the audience was the importance of perseverance. She still enjoys riding today, even though some people might have quit after an accident like hers.
John H. used a lot of humor in his speech about his Saturday morning job at a feed store.
He told about a time when he couldn't remember a customer's order. He has learned that it's better to ask than guess!
Alex M. spoke about what he has learned from spending winters in Florida.
Harry W. spoke about what he's learned by traveling.
At the end of each speech, the Ninth Graders take questions from the audience. The younger students are always eager to interact with the speakers.

DENVER (AP) -- The Colorado Division of Emergency Management is warning of extreme fire danger across Colorado as more than a dozen fires broke out across the state.
The Lower North Fork fire in Jefferson County was the largest. One death is being investigated and authorities are trying to determine how many homes might have been destroyed.
Other fires include the Montezuma Fire in Summit County, the Saw Mill Fire in Jefferson County, and the Storm Mountain area in Larimer County.
Officials said there are several other small wildfires and grass fires in Custer County near Wetmore, along with Morgan County, Logan County, and Weld County.
Winds gust ranging from 40 to 50 mph in Pueblo County fueled several fires Monday afternoon, but no one was injured.
While strong wind will be less widespread the next few days, it will still be a bit windy each afternoon through Friday. This will be especially true across El Paso County.
By the weekend, another bout of strong wind will impact all of Colorado. Right now, Sunday looks to be the worst day. Wind gusts over 50 mph will again be possible.

Few cars of the past decade have divided opinion as much as the Smart ForTwo. Brilliant but flawed, this is a city car with a difference thanks to its cute looks, great engineering and astonishing body strength. Yet it's also quite expensive for a car that's only really suited to urban dwellers.
Nippy, cheap to run and quite practical despite its compact dimensions, the Smart makes a lot more sense than you'd think. However, you should only buy one after careful consideration.
The Smart ForTwo MkII, known internally as the 451, arrived in autumn 2007 in Coupe and Cabrio forms. There was initially a choice of 61bhp, 71bhp or 84bhp three-cylinder 999cc petrol power, in Pure, Pulse and Passion trims, plus the sporty 97bhp Brabus.
The ForTwo CDI, with a 799cc diesel engine, reached the UK in June 2009. A September 2010 facelift brought reduced CO2 emissions for most of the petrol engines, plus more equipment and new colours inside and out. A further refresh earlier this year added LED daytime running lights, a reprofiled nose and improved cabin materials.
The alternatives have at least twice as many seats and often five doors, too. Its closest competitor is the Toyota iQ, which is extremely compact and has a high-quality finish. The iQ is best viewed as a two-seater, even though there are actually four seats.
The Fiat Panda provides more space and practicality than the Smart, with decent reliability, too, while the MkII Ford Ka isn't as much fun as its predecessor, but it's very usable. If you want more style, a Fiat 500 is worth a look. Finally, the Kia Picanto is a tempting choice, thanks to its reliability and practicality.

There are some typos in the code of some of the files in the vigilance theme, all related to (arguably) subsequent edits that have been made to the code by the author, and whacked out the textdomain (i.e. 'vigilance').
As a result, some translation strings don't show up properly (the English is shown instead) such as e.g. in the comment parts.
I have made the corrections on my own install, but the author might want to check his own code; i.e., the errors are in the following files:

I accepted Jesus as my Lord early on in life, while still at Sunday school, but I keep the Lord busy trying to improve me daily :-) I am passionately evangelical and love to discuss doctrinal theology. I hate to see the fighting between Christians of different denominations and look forward to seeing the whole body of Christ united when He returns.

Open Source Software Works Around China's "Great Firewall"
Journalists at the Olympic Games 2008 in Peking report that they do not have unrestricted Internet access. The GPL'd OpenVPN software can easily work around censorship of this kind.
IOC President Jacques Rogge recently backpedaled under heavy fire when it became known that the promise of "unrestricted" Internet access for the press has not been kept. Users of free software can only shake their heads at the turbulence this has caused, because software such as OpenVPN will tunnel firewalls like China's "Great Firewall" without any trouble.
For more details read our report on "OpenVPN counters censorship".

Brussels sprouts are a classic holiday side dish. But there are many reasons why these little leafy cabbages should appear on your plate more than a mere twice-a-year. Like broccoli and cauliflower ― their close cousins in the cruciferous family ― Brussels sprouts not only provide essential nutrients to your bodies, they boast a slew of health benefits.
Brussels sprouts have been around for some time. The vegetable named after the capital of Belgium was enjoyed in that country as early as the 13th century, but no one can trace its exact origins. Brussels sprouts are a member of the disease-fighting cabbage family, and like nearly every other vegetable, they are low in fat and calories. But they are also high in protein, so pair them with whole grains and get the full spectrum of essential amino acids that the body requires.
Eating more Brussels sprouts will promote a healthier immune system, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol and reduce inflammation. They are exceptionally rich in vitamin C, an anti-cancer agent. Plus, recent studies have proven Brussels sprouts' ability to improve the stability of the DNA inside our white blood cells.
• High in vitamin C
• High in dietary fiber
• Improves DNA stability in white blood cells
• Low in fat and calories
• Promotes a healthier immune system
One cup of Brussels sprouts contains four grams of dietary fiber, which does wonders for your digestion and helps stabilize blood sugar. Including foods with plenty of dietary fiber in your diet will also check overeating, which is why we recommend these cute cabbages to anyone looking to feel fuller longer.
Brussels sprouts are available year-round. Look for rigid and vivid green sprouts, ideally still attached to their stalk. Most importantly, find buds that are all about the same or similar size or cut them up into quarters to ensure that they cook evenly.
One of the easiest ways to prepare Brussels sprouts is to roast them. One can also steam them, cutting a line or a cross at their center to aid with the penetration of heat. Overcooking will result in a significant loss of their anti-cancer compounds, as well as create a sulfuric smell and unpleasantly strong flavor.

In the latest effort to strengthen labor's hand in the global economy, West Coast dockworkers this month welcomed pilots at the Panama Canal into their union. Meanwhile longshore unions on the nation's Atlantic and Pacific coasts are forging new ties.
At one of the world's strategic passageways, the Panama Canal Pilots Union joined the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) on Sept. 7, the 32nd anniversary of the United States turning over control of the Canal Zone to Panama. The ILWU represents longshore workers along the West Coast of the U.S. and Canada.
In welcoming the canal pilots, ILWU International President Bob McEllrath said, "This is an historic agreement that unites workers in different countries with a critical link in the global supply chain," reported the Dispatcher, the ILWU's publication.
The new affiliation "will provide each with more solidarity and support that will be there when we need it," McEllrath added.
The canal's importance will be magnified once work is completed to expand and modernize the nearly century old passageway between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, to accommodate the newer, bigger container ships.
This strategic alliance comes as the ILWU and the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA), which represents dockworkers on the East Coast and Gulf of Mexico coastline, are taking steps to strengthen their relationship.
Pointing to employers' efforts to pit the ILWU against the ILA, "using the word 'competition' to put a wedge" between the two unions over jobs, McEllrath told the ILA's quadrennial convention in July, "We are one."
"I'm going to work with the new ILA president, Harold Daggett," McEllrath added. "We're going to fight together, we're going to keep our jurisdiction and we're going to keep our unions' jobs."
For his part, Daggett said he intends to "bring the ILA closer to the ILWU, as we have many matters of mutual interest in dealing with management in protecting our jurisdictions and memberships."
The ILWU's McEllrath will sit in the next round of ILA contract negotiations at the invitation of the ILA's Daggett, the Dispatcher reported.

I want to first say THANK YOU!! for such an awesome plugin!
Form customization can be a real nightmare on a site and this is by far the best plugin on any of the CMSes I've found for it.
My suggestion would be to add a "local inbox" for submitted forms so if email delivery fails or the user doesn't want to receive them by email, they can still use it. It would also provide a great way to keep them organized.
That's the one feature CF7 is missing that would be tremendously useful.
Thanks for all you do!

I asked at the unemployment office today and they have me the number of someone with NC labor to call. She seemed to think that this agreement wouldn't be legally enforceable. I mean, seriously, how can someone force me away from work for 2 years when I have only been there 4 months! If they can, there is something seriously screwed up with this legal system.

First Give at Hatch End High School
First Give - a programme which encourages students to take community action into their own hands with the chance of winning £1,000 for their chosen charity.
Students at our school in Year 8 take part in First Give. In teams, they research social problems in our community and create an engaging and persuasive presentation and campaign on a local charity they believe is doing the best work to tackle an issue they are passionate about. The students visit their local charities and then deliver presentations to their peers as well as run year 7 workshops, informing them of the work their charity does.
The students carry out their campaigns in teams competing to win £1000 towards their chosen charity. Teams are selected from their Citizenship lessons, who then go on to present to a panel of judges in semi-finals. The top 6 teams then get selected to present in the final and the winning team wins £1000 towards their chosen charity.
Trip to the Houses of Parliament
Every year the Citizenship Department take a group of students to the Houses of Parliament. The visit begins with a tour of the Palace of Westminster, providing the context for learning about the work and role of Parliament. The tour starts at Westminster Hall, the oldest building in the parliamentary estate, where Guy Fawkes was put on trial for high treason in 1606. The tour then moves to the Central Lobby, the heart of British Democracy which connects the House of Lords with the House of Commons.
Students then have the fantastic opportunity to sit in the public gallery in the House of Commons. After that, the students go up to the public gallery of the House of Lords, watching a live debate.
After the tour the Parliament Education Team deliver an engaging workshop putting GCSE Citizenship Curriculum into sharp focus.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
A Cat Can Order Viagra?
Government health officials are concerned that the ease with which consumers can now get prescription drugs over the Internet could lead to widespread misuse, with serious -- if not always lethal -- consequences for consumers. A reporter from Glamour magazine, for example, recently ordered a diet drug even though she indicated on the questionnaire used by one site that she weighed just 97 pounds. A Michigan reporter used her cat's name, acknowledged under "prior surgeries" that it was neutered, but successfully ordered Viagra for the feline.
"We had [the 16-year-old son of] one of our employees . . . order Viagra over the Internet and he received it," says Carla Stovall, Kansas attorney general. "Those are the kinds of things that I think concern everybody." The issue is gaining attention in Washington, where Congress and the White House are considering intervention. President Clinton has already proposed giving the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sweeping new powers to regulate and certify drug-selling sites. "When medications are classified as prescription drugs, it is done so for a reason," says FDA commissioner Jane Henney, MD. "These drugs have been judged to have sufficient risks that they should not be provided to patients without a health professional's involvement."
Some states have already started investigating online drug peddlers. Earlier this month, New Jersey sued eight online pharmacies selling Viagra, charging that they failed to disclose that they lacked a New Jersey license and claiming that the use of an online questionnaire to diagnose patients falls short of the state's standards. In Oregon, a doctor was recently fined and placed on probation for 10 years by that state's Board of Medical Examiners for prescribing Viagra and other drugs over the Internet to patients he never examined. Last year, Illinois, Kansas, and Missouri also went after Internet drug merchants and the National Association of Attorneys General has said it is studying the issue.
Still, Harvey Jacobs, a Washington Internet lawyer, says the federal government should not develop special regulations for online pharmacies. Instead, it should ask the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Postal Service to work harder. "Those entities now regulate rogue operations and have sufficient tools to go and shut them down," he says.
