CCMP, Irving Say They're More Selective on Retail Takeovers
Buyout firms including CCMP Capital Advisors say they have grown more selective on retail takeovers after last year's deal revival, seeking targets that can withstand sagging confidence and rising commodity costs.
"You don't see it in the stock prices yet, but there are a lot of headwinds," said Richard Zannino, managing partner of New York-based CCMP, whose retail investments have included outdoor-sports chain Cabela's Inc. He spoke this week at a private-equity discussion at Bloomberg headquarters in New York.
Prices for cotton have almost doubled in the past year and costs for oil have gained more than 30 percent, prompting some consumers to cut back on spending. Only the most disciplined retailers are poised to thrive, leaving slimmer pickings for buyout firms that took part in $25 billion of retail-related deals last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
This year, managers have announced more than 50 deals worth about $4 billion, the data show. With last year's enthusiasm still fresh, some retailers may expect higher prices than buyout firms are willing to offer, said Anthony Choe, a partner at Brentwood Associates in Los Angeles.
"Sellers are going to be looking at 2010 saying 'Hey, we had a banner year, the future's rosy,'" said Choe, whose firm's prior investments include clothing retailer Zumiez Inc. "We're going looking at stuff saying, 'Yeah, but look at all the stuff that's come down the pike.'"
Commodities Impact
Most of the impact of rising commodity prices won't appear until the fourth quarter for many clothing sellers, since it will take time for them to absorb the costs, said Les Berglass, chairman of New York executive search firm Berglass + Associates. Some retailers get as much as 40 percent of their revenue from that quarter, when many consumers shop for the holidays.
Still, companies with consistent growth will command a premium, said Rick Perkal, senior managing director at Irving Place Capital Management LP in New York, which has invested in Vitamin Shoppe Inc. and apparel retailer New York & Co. The average premium on private-equity deals for retailers is about 23 percent this year, compared with about 18 percent in 2010, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Buyout firms are in a better position to take advantage of appealing opportunities because publicly listed retailers have had to focus on stabilizing their businesses, instead of on acquisitions, Perkal said. Better borrowing terms also are helping managers go head-to-head with corporate buyers, CCMP's Zannino said.
"Private equity is once again very competitive because of where the debt markets are," he said.
J. Crew Takeover
Among the largest and highest-profile deals recently is the $3 billion takeover of J. Crew Group Inc. by TPG, the buyout firm managed by David Bonderman and James Coulter. TPG, which bought the retailer for the second time in 15 years, aims to assist Chief Executive Officer Millard Drexler in expanding J. Crew's overseas operation and launching new brands.
Despite that and other deals, the market for retail takeovers is unlikely to bounce back to the levels seen in 2006 and 2007, the executives said.
"People are being a lot more discerning on what they're willing to make bets on," said Brentwood's Choe.

Nickel-23 at. pct Si produced by hot extrusion of canned powders is two phase above 1035 °C, consisting of particles of the nickel (silicon) solid solution in a complex silicide matrix, labeled β2 on the phase diagram. Transformation to the Ll2-structured β1-Ni3Si was examined at temperatures from 525 °C to 925 °C by both optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Transformation to β1-Ni3Si was observed to occur by three different processes, namely, by precipitation within the Ni(Si) particles, by the peritectoid transformation Ni(Si) + β2 → β1, and by the eutectoid decomposition of β2, that is, through β2 → β1 + γNi31Si12. All of the transformations are consistent with the phase diagram. The β1 which formed both by precipitation and by the peritectoid transformation is coherent with the Ni(Si) solid solution. The peritectoid transformation appears to be interface controlled (at the coherent β1/β2 interface), as evidenced by the anisotropic fingerlike growth of the β1 into the β2 matrix.

Kinect to be updated to allow video chat with Lync
Microsoft said yesterday that Kinect is to act as a bridge between "the boardroom and the living room," and will have its software upgraded to allow it to work with the company's new business-aimed video and audio conferencing software, Lync.
Lync is a premium product that features – according to ZDNet and CNET – an instant messaging system; an audio and video conferencing tool; and a voice call service.
A bit like a posh MSN with some added Skype. That you pay for. Sounds amazing.
Microsoft apparently showed people chatting through Kinect and a PC. No date was put on the software update that's going to make this irrefutable magic happen.
Bill Gates personally demoed the PC portion of the new software, and did a little stargazing on its future, saying updates like voice and facial recognition, as well as touch interfaces, were all possible.
Kinect already allows for video chat with PCs through MSN Messenger.

Good buy for the money.
I'm a nearly 35yr old female and am autistic so I know a thing or two about things that are good and snuggly and comfortable enough to sleep with. I LOVE Fluttershy and have yet to find one I could sleep with comfortably. I read some of the reviews and they said it was good for snuggling with. I find it very awkward and not really squishy enough to get comfortable with. This is what I ordered it for so this is why I have given it the ratings I did.
Had this been ordered to go with my MLP collections, my review would have been completely different. It is firm enough to stand easily and looks very authentic.
In closing, great for a collectors item, not great for a snuggle/sleep with item.
This pony is adorable! I cant wait to see my little girls face when she opens it up on Christmas. It can sometimes be difficult to judge quality and overall appearance of a stuffed animal online but I was very pleased when it arrived and I saw it in person.
Our granddaughter collects horses of all kinds. This is a Christmas gift for her, and we know she
will love it....it is so much bigger than was expected, well stuffed and excellent for the price we paid.
When I received this pony I could not believe the size and cuteness. My girls were so happy and I was completely satisfied with this purchase. You can't beat this price!
My niece loved this and it was a fair price for a 20" brand plush.
Bought for granddaughter's birthday. She loved it.
This is a terrific plush My Little Pony. My grand-daughter will enjoy sleeping with it.
Nice and big , super soft.

Senior Testimonial: Denika Desert
For graduating student Denika Desert, four years of Pace was filled with opportunity: clubs, Greek life, study abroad, and more...all leading to her next step: graduate school.
"I walked on to campus in fall 2010 as a freshman not knowing what I wanted to do in college but with only goal in mind, to take chance. Four years later I have done more than I ever thought I was able to do and gained so much out of it. Once thing Pace University has given me was opportunity, a chance to be involved and to become the student leader that I have become today. I was given pieces and tools, all I had to do was build my experience the way that I wanted it to go. Through club meetings and trainings I grew and something caught my attention, Greek life. Junior year, I became a sister of the Sigma Iota Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho sorority Inc. and that was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. As a graduate in May I will be transferring into a graduate chapter to continue the work of my organization. My letters are not just four years but they are seriously for life! I knew that I wanted to do. One thing I will never forget was taking the opportunity to be the first of my family to travel to Europe, in spring 2013 I went to Greece with Professor Catalano, a trip I will never forget! Being in clubs and organizations, living on campus, and attending different events I got to know some amazing people! But all good things must come to an end, I will be ending my undergraduate career and become a Pace alumna. I am ready for the next step in life, which is Fordham University for graduate school! Word of advice: GET INVOLVED, Step up, Explore, Question everything, and find the answers to your questions... You make your college experience!!!"

It would be nice if ascetica theme can handle multiple images in one line, in other words syde by side image.
Alignment of images (or any other elements) is done using CSS (and maybe how the images are coded in the html). If the theme has some default, you can generally change it in the CSS code. If you have a specific instance you need help with, post a link to your site.
Thanks for your reply ;)
I know all design modification can be done by CSS. However, I'm not aware on how Ascetica works, and I see it can't display inline images. This is a major lack.
I would know how and which css code add for displaying two or more images on one line.
thanks !
I see it can't display inline images.
??? Just change the CSS code for the images -- or use float alignment which effectively can put them on one line. Have you looked at this:
As I said above, if you need more help, please post a link to your site.
Maybe you guys can help me...
I'm using Ascetica theme and I want to upload an image and put it exactly on the location you see in the link here>> http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ascetica/
Do you know how to do it?
Will appreciate your help very much!!
@uval - per the forum guidelines, you need to start your own thread -- but I see you already did that, so this is duplicate thread. Please just stick with one thread per topic -- otherwise it's much harder for people to help you.
Sorry yogi.

The other day, my mom and I got into an argument about what kind of clothes I should wear. Yes, I'm 23 years old and she's still trying to dress me.

Kids, this weekend is a big deal for those of us in Pettis County. The Pettis County Commission is going to encourage retail sales by offering a Sales Tax Holiday.
Kids, you and I both know that there are new country singers every day. There are some that work, and some that... well, don't. Let's be clear before I start in on this. When I'm referring to these people, I mean folks who started out in either rock or pop music, had some success there, and are now doing country music. Some have had bigger successes than others.
Alright guys, after a week of voting we have our finalists! It's up to you guys to pick the name of my new morning show on KIX 105. We took the top vote-getters of the three options I gave you, and we're now pitting it against my two favorite write-in votes.
Kids, last week I asked you guys what you were looking forward to at the Missouri State Fair - other than the concerts, that is. Several of you were pretty happy about the sporting and trucking events. In fact, the Truck and Tractor Pull and the Antique Tractor Pull were in the lead with a dead lock at 22% of the votes each.
The All-Star Game happened last week and a lot people have been very excited around here with how the Kansas City Royals have managed to stay in the hunt in the American League Central. Many Royals fans have long waited for meaningful baseball to played in the late summer months, now the question is can they catch on and keep momentum going. No team has really taken control of this division so far.
Alright guys, we're just getting warmed up this week, but once we really get rolling in the mornings, we need a cool name for the morning show! Since a radio station is nothing without it's listeners, I want you all to be involved in the decision.
It's Humpday, time to get over those mid-week blues with another round of "Would You Rather." Last week, I gave you the option to only be able to shout or only be able to whisper every time you spoke. In a landslide, 78% of you would rather only be able to whisper.
So kids, a while back I asked you guys what you've been using your mobile devices for. Now me, I guess I'm simple and I don't have much need for fancy internettin' on the go. I have a laptop and a desktop, and that seems to be good enough for me. Boyfriendo, meanwhile, has a fancy phone AND a tablet, and God knows what he uses those for. I don't think I want to know. Anyway, I DO want to know about what you use it for!
"So you would want a webcam installed at your husbands work?" That was my response to a topic that came up over the weekend. One female chatting with her friends came up with the theory that men probably act completely different at work than they do at home.

India's Sensex Little Changed on Rupee Measures, Europe S
India's benchmark stock index was little changed as investors weighed measures introduced by the central bank to arrest the rupee's slump against the outcome of a European Union summit on the region's debt crisis this week.
Reliance Industries Ltd., operator of the world's largest refining complex, rose for a second day. ITC Ltd., the largest tobacco company, fell for a third day. The BSE India Sensitive Index added 0.1 percent to 16,906.58 at the close. Two stocks rose for each that declined on the 30-stock index.
The Reserve Bank of India yesterday raised the amount of government debt foreign funds can hold by $5 billion to halt the drop in Asia's worst-performing major currency this year. German Chancellor Angela Merkel hardened her resistance to euro-area debt sharing, increasing concerns leaders in the EU, India's top trading partner, will fail to agree on measures to curb the debt crisis at a two-day summit starting June 28.
"Markets will remain range bound as long as we are in this uncertain phase," said Sreesankar Radhakrishnan, senior vice president at Tata Securities Ltd. in Mumbai. "A slowdown in decision-making in the political space is not encouraging and the dithering in Europe over Greece is also not positive."
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is grappling with an economy hobbled by slowing growth, a record trade deficit, a budget gap that has exceeded targets, corruption scandals and in-fighting that has stymied his efforts to attract foreign investment. The rupee touched a record low of 57.3275 a dollar on June 22, and the Sensex is headed for its first quarterly decline since the three-month period ended in December.
'Dysfunctional Politics'
"Rupee depreciation should impart lot of competitiveness to manufacturing and exports but can India do the right things for growth to improve and exports to increase?" said Sanjeev Prasad, senior executive director and co-head of Mumbai-based Kotak Institutional Equities, in an interview to Bloomberg UTV today. "So far we are not seeing improvement in governance because we have very dysfunctional politics at this point."
Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, who quit from his post today to contest next month's presidential polls, increased the overseas investment cap on government debt to $20 billion and broadened the base of buyers to include sovereign wealth funds, central banks and pension funds. Offshore funds cut holdings of local bonds by $1.2 billion from a record $31.5 billion reached on Feb. 29 and pulled out $273 million from equities in May, a second month of net sales, data from the regulator show.
"Foreigners still believe in the long-term demographics of India but the frustrating part is the governance issue and the discussion boils down to: when do we see policies getting implemented," Kotak's Prasad said. "Some long-term investors who have been India bulls for the last 15-20 years are raising this question. That's a serious message to the government."
Price Pressure
The rupee fell to 57.035 per dollar at close, from 57.015 yesterday. The currency has lost 7 percent in 2012, the worst performance among the 10 most-traded Asian currencies.
The decline has intensified price pressures because India buys 80 percent of its crude from abroad and undermined efforts by the government to pare the widest fiscal deficit among the largest emerging economies.
The S&P CNX Nifty Index on the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. rose 0.1 percent to 5,120.80, and its June futures settled at 5,136. India VIX, a gauge of options prices in the Nifty, dropped 6.2 percent to 20.2, the lowest since June 18. Combined trading volume on India's top two exchanges was 775 million shares yesterday, 14 percent less than the 12-month daily average of 903 million.
Reliance rose 1 percent to 723.5 rupees, the sharpest gain since June 19. Hindustan Unilever Ltd., the largest home products maker, dropped 2 percent to 450.7 rupees, the steepest decline since Feb. 6. ITC dropped 1.2 percent to 247.1 rupees.
HDFC Bank Ltd., the second-biggest lender, increased 1.3 percent to 543.5 rupees. Infosys Ltd., the second-largest software exporter, lost 1.1 percent to 2,440.4 rupees.
Jaiprakash Associates Ltd. rose 0.6 percent to 70 rupees after Mint newspaper reported that the Aditya Birla Group is leading the race to acquire the company's cement unit.

I'm trying to set up GIT on my home CentOS 6.2 server (I already have LAMP running on it). The only access that will be made to it is from the local network - or to be more precise, from my laptop running Fedora 16. Unfortunately I'm not able to find a good "HowTo" to do this.
I installed it on the server but what is next? What modification do I need to apply to it? How do I connect to it and use it with, for example, NetBeansIDE which I use for PHP.
Any hints or "HowTo" is welcome.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
Passings | Underground comics artist Michele Wrightson has died. As Michele Brand, she was a contributor to the first all-women underground comics anthology, It Ain't Me Babe, with a story titled "Tirade Funnies" that still rings true 45 years later. That comic spawned the ongoing Wimmen's Comix, to which she was also a contributor. Wrightson was also a colorist for Marvel and several other publishers and was married first to cartoonist Roger Brand and then to artist Bernie Wrightson, with whom she collaborated on the Creepshow graphic novel. Stephen Bissette has more in a Facebook post, including the fact that she helped Louise Simonson get her first job in comics. [The Beat]
As they teased back in September, Renae De Liz (The Last Unicorn, Womanthology) and her husband Ray Dillon (Servant of the Bones, The Last Unicorn) have launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a graphic-novel adaptation of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan.
"The original story is one of the most beautiful, inspired things I have ever read, and I hope to convey that beauty to the best of my abilities into this graphic novel," De Liz writes on the project's Kickstarter page. "I also intend to further explore Peter Pan and Captain Hook's backstory by adapting parts from J.M Barrie's The Little White Bird ( prequel to Peter and Wendy) and a little known informations given by Barrie about Jas. Hook into the story."
They're seeking a rather sizable amount — $48,000 — to fund production of the first of three planned volumes, which will be released by IDW Publishing. Pledge incentives range from a copy of the 90-page Peter Pan: The Companion Guide to signed editions to an appearance as a background character in one or more panels. Just a day into the campaign, they've already raised $6,424.
I debated waiting until the Kickstarter launch to post about this, but it's never too early to start getting excited about something this cool. Renae De Liz (The Last Unicorn, Womanthology) and her husband Ray Dillon (Servant of the Bones, The Last Unicorn) are adapting J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan for comics. Judging from the teases on the project's blog (and previous experience with De Liz's work), it's going to be amazing.
You can follow their progress either on the project's blog or on Twitter, but De Liz also gives some additional details on her own blog where she talks about her inspiration for the book, publishing plans, and the possibility of donating some proceeds to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, the spiritual copyright holder of Peter Pan. It's still early in the creation process, but thanks to cool art like the animated cover below, this will be fun to watch as it develops. From Womanthology, De Liz has some experience using Kickstarter in a successful way, so once that campaign launches in about a month, expect to hear a lot more about this.
Chris Schweizer is a creator that lives in my neck of the woods: Atlanta. I always enjoy the opportunity to support (albeit imported) local talent. I recently email interviewed him about Crogan's Vengeance (Oni Press), described by the publisher as "the first in an ongoing series of adventure graphic novels spanning continents and centuries as cartoonist Chris Schweizer climbs through the various branches of the Crogan clan's family tree! Volume one of THE CROGAN ADVENTURES series introduces us to 'Catfoot' Crogan, an honest sailor who finds himself thrust into a life of piracy! Crogan never wanted to be a pirate and he never dreamed he'd wind up at odds with the most dangerous buccaneer ever to sail the Spanish Main! But there's more to this fight for 'Catfoot' than just staying alive, there's also CROGAN'S VENGEANCE!"
As noted at Schweizer's own site: "He received his BFA in Graphic Design from Murray State University in 2004, and did his post-graduate work in Sequential Art at the Atlanta branch of the Savannah College of Art and Design . . . he now teaches as a professor of Sequential Art and Animation at SCAD-Atlanta."
Thanks to Schweizer for an interview and thanks also to Oni's Cory Casoni for facilitating the interview.
Tim O'Shea: Your pirate tale really relies on strategy being conveyed in battle partially with dialogue and visually, how did you strike a balance that did not make it too detailed or not detailed enough, while still being entertaining?
Chris Schweizer: A lot of it was gut instinct and hope. In some of the scenes where strategy came into play, I was very mindful of the potential to get bogged down in factual minutia. I tried to combat this a couple of different ways – firstly, by giving the bare minimum amount of information needed to understand what was going on, making sure that once an idea had been put forth in dialogue that it wasn't repeated in subsequent dialogue. The other was panel composition and subject focus. Showing the different members of the crew in varying states of readiness rather than simply following the protagonist, Catfoot, around, bought me a little bit of extra reader attention during these expository battle preparations… at least, I hope it did.

Great gloves - Jan 11, 2013
Player: David Rushbrook (Arizona)
These gloves held up well during a season in semi pro soccer and have a great feel on the ball. Keep them wet with water not spit! and you will make great saved with less rebounds..

Reusch Goalie Gloves - Jul 27, 2012
Player: SoccerKeeperSyd (USA)
These gloves are wonderful! Fit snug on your hands and have excellent grip...but a little spit wouldn't hurt. I myself perfer gloves without fingersaves, and these are my favorite! They last about a year, and work very well. A good buy for the price.

Solid pair of gloves - Apr 04, 2012
Player: D B (South Florida)
I was a bit worried that these gloves would wear quickly, I play 3-4 times a week in mens leagues & pickup games, most of the time on turf. The palms on the right hand have worn a bit but not any faster than other 4mm gloves. The grip on these gloves are solid. I've made quite a few saves with them that would normally bounce off my hands. I like the rounded off cut on the fingers. The only problem and I'm picking nits here is the reusch lettering on the bottom of the palm wears off quickly, but does not affect the grip on these gloves.

Great gloves! Great Value! - Oct 16, 2011
Player: Casey Phillips (Los Angeles, CA USA)
These are cheaper in price but not in quality. The extra $50 for finger savers can be worth it but I find that the ball control is not as good. Besides the palms wearing out a tiny bit fast, I don't think it is the glove. I played very hard. They have kept my team in 6-1-2 season. If your take proper care of the gloves and wash them after every game then they retain wonderful grip. Would definitely purchase these again for the next season.

Underpriced gloves, highly recommend - Jun 25, 2011
Player: senior gk (Texas)
The last pair I wore were the G1 Raptors and although they were very high quality, these are even better! The X1 latex seems to be Reusch's best foam. It is actually tackier than the G1 and just as soft. The X1 is very well cushioned too. The backhand doesn't have the Shockshield which turned out to be a plus. The Shockshield can be a bit too cushy and give an awkward feel during punches but the Keon Pro X1 has a good soft latex on the back that isn't too thick so you get a great feel when punching. Overall, will be very happy with this glove without spending too much!

Great gloves - Apr 25, 2011
Player: David Rushbrook (Anchorage, AK)
At first it was hard to get used to the thickness of the palm, but now after 4 practices I am in love. These gloves have great grip and are nice and wide allowing more surface area on the ball. The grip palms are holding up nicely as well still look new after 7 advanced training sessions and 1 game

|Lewisburg City Manager Resigns
Lewisburg City Manager, Tommy Engram, went to the residence of Barbara Woods, the City Mayor after work hours Friday (January 11, 2013) to personally deliver his resignation. Mayor Woods, who is presently on vacation, was reached by phone for a comment.
According to the City Mayor, several city councilmen had expressed a desire to have a sit down meeting with Mr. Engram about a few city issues. Woods stated that she felt as if this was to be an open discussion type meeting so the issues of concern could be discussed with all parties.
In his resignation letter, Mr. Engram felt that if the councilmen were not pleased with his performance as City Manager, at this point of his contract, then it would be best for him to step aside and for the council to hire some one else for the position.
After speaking with three of the councilmen, WJJM found out that they were not aware of Mr. Engram's resignation until late Saturday night. A few were not aware of it until Sunday afternoon. Hershel Davis, Odie Whitehead, and Robin Minor were all very surprised to hear of his resignation. Davis even commented to the fact that he thought Engram was doing a decent job and that he was not one of the council members who had requested the meeting.

LEVELLAND - When McLean senior Alexis Menefield let go her 3-pointer with under five seconds to play in this Region I-1A girls semifinal, she thought the ball was going to be short of the rim.
"All I said was, 'Oh, God please go in. Please go in.' " Menefield said.
In it went and into the Region I-1A Division I championship game McLean will go as Menefield's clutch 3-pointer with 1.97 seconds remaining handed her a game-high 15 points and handed McLean a comeback 44-41 victory over Lorenzo before 500 fans Friday afternoon at the Texan Dome at South Plains College.
McLean will attempt to reach its first state tournament since 1951 when it meets Happy at 2 p.m. today in the championship game.
Menefield's basket ended her 0-for-8 drought from beyond the arc and presented McLean with its first lead of the second half. McLean had trailed by 13 points early in the third quarter.
"They played with such mental toughness, that was it," said a relieved McLean coach Benji Hausen, who pumped his fist and then hugged Menefield during the timeout after her 3-pointer. "We wanted Alexis to take the last shot and ran a play for her. Not necessarily a 3-pointer, but she was going to take whatever they gave her. We eventually got it to her.
"We struggled offensively and won ugly. But I'm so proud. These girls know how to handle adversity."
The game featured drama throughout the final six minutes and was tied at 37, 39 and 41. Lorenzo point guard Cat Garcia was called for palming the ball with 32.8 seconds left and the game knotted at 41.
That's when McLean ran the clock down and Menefield hit the biggest shot of her life from the wing.
"We were thinking a pick and roll play," said Menefield, who added eight rebounds and six steals. "So for five seconds I'm thinking pick and pop. Pick and pop. I didn't get the ball. So I had to fake the girl out a couple of times and get the ball.
"When it went in it was exciting. I've never felt that way before."
Lorenzo called time out with 1.97 seconds remaining. Aisha Martin inbounded to Garcia at halfcourt, who called timeout leaving 1.45 seconds on the clock. When Martin tried to inbound at halfcourt following the timeout, McLean's defense caused a five second call and McLean inbounded for the win.
McLean senior Sheri Haynes scored 11 points despite fouling out with 5:14 to play.
LORENZO (22-12): Cat Garcia 4 0-0 9, Jazmine Phillips 2 7-8 11, Courtney George 1 1-2 3, Aisha Martin 1 1-5 3, Bailey Martin 5 1-4 11, Jessica Vasquez 1 0-0 2, Amber Fink 1 0-0 2. Totals: 15 10-19 41.

I'm not sure if these two things are related or not, but I've found that my WordPress blog is often down (when the rest of my website is not), or it loads very slowly.
I've also noticed a large increase in the number of "visitors," but when I track where they're coming from, they're often linking from porn sites that are hosted in LA, Texas, Russia, etc...or other bogus blogs that *aren't* porn.
Is this influx of fake traffic responsible for my blog-loading troubles? And how can I stop this traffic? I've tried a plug-in that blocks specific URLs, but they keep changing.

There's an enterprise application using Java + Hibernate + PostgreSQL. Hibernate is configured via annotations in the Java source code. So far the database schema is fixed, but I faced the problem that it needs to be dynamic:I can receive data from different locations and I have to store these in different tables. This means that I have to create tables run-time. Fortunately, it seems that all of these data coming from the different institutes can have the same schema. But I still don't know how to do that using Hibernate. There are two main problems:
- How to tell to Hibernate that many different tables have the same structure? For example the "Patient" class can be mapped to not just the "patient" table, but the "patient_mayo_clinic" table, "patient_northwestern" table, etc. I can feel that this causes ambiguity: how Hibernate knows which table to access when I do operations on the Patient class? It can be any (but only one) of the former listed tables.
- How can I dynamically create tables with Hibernate and bind a class to them?
Response to suggestions: Thanks for all of the suggestions. So far all of the answers discouraged the dynamic creation of tables. I'll mark Axel's answer, since it achieves certain goals, and it is a supported solution. More specifically it's called multi-tenancy. Sometimes it's important to know some important phrases which describes our problem (or part of our problem). Here are some links about multi-tenancy:
- Multi-tenancy in Hibernate
- Hibernate Chapter 16. Multi-tenancy
- Multi-tenancy Design
- EclipseLink JPA multi-tenancy
In real world scenario multi-tenancy also involves the area of isolating the sets of data from each other (also in terms of access and authorization by different credentials) once they are shoved into one table.

I've seen sweet potato casserole on many thanksgiving tables, but I wanted to make myself and my guests feel special by making my own Individual Sweet Potato Casserole. I seasoned them unexpectedly with cinnamon and chili powder to give them something extra special.
I haven't stuffed a pepper in a while, and I was feeling particularly lazy in the veggie department that day. SO for lunch, instead of making a stir fry, I made a Butter Chicken Stuffed Pepper. Sweet and crunchy-ish pepper filled with, I have to say, one of the most delicious ways to serve chicken on the planet, and grilled to scrumptious perfection. Serve this on its own or on a bed of rice for a slightly fancy take on Butter Chicken.
A friend of mine introduced me to the concept of curry. In his household, he is the master of curry, making it at least twice a week. So when I was doing a barbecue luncheon for him, I thought I should try to incorporate his favorite flavors into something for the grill. These Spicy Curry Burgers ended up being great, beefy burgers with some spicy heat and a real hit of that curry flavor.
Talking food one day, someone mentioned to me that they had a craving for Butter Chicken, an Indian dish that I had never tried. Instantly curious, I searched the web for a simple version of the recipe. None of them mentioned grilling, but all wanted it to be baked in a covered dish. I have to be different so instantly I was thinking of ways to make this delicious recipe on the grill. I came up with this and it was very delicious.
I was worried about finding all of the spices and the cheesecloth. No need to fret at all. If you go to a larger grocery store, one that has a fresh market and deli, you should be able to find the cheesecloth with the tea-towels. As for the spices, I found the ones I needed almost all side by side! As long as you have access to a store with a bulk section or a bulk dry goods store, you should be fine. The curry paste was in the International/Asian section. If you can't find paste, a quick Google will provide you a plethora of red curry paste recipes that will actually boost the flavor of your dish to a whole new level.
I've never done short ribs before. Considering that, I decided to buy some short ribs at the supermarket and make Galbi, Korean BBQ Short Ribs. I marinated the ribs overnight and grilled them up with great success. They were demolished in no time.
As a going away-have to celebrate-birthday-need dessert for this event thing, I found a recipe for Salted Maple Pecan Bars. I just had to put a grill-spin on it. Okay, so there were five and a half of us (one guy had one piece and disappeared somewhere) and we demolished the 9 x 13-inch tray that I made. These were so good that I had to make them again two days later. So good that when asked for seconds from someone, I lied and said that they were all gone. Yeah. THAT kind of good.
It's always good to try something different. That is what I did with this recipe. First, I purchased a cut of steak that I don't often get. The flank steak is usually mis-cooked and often tough and not so great. But like many things, just needs some tender loving care. Flank is porous and benefits from the marinade treatment. The other thing I tried was some different photography techniques. I'm not sure I like how the dark and moody thing came out. But the photos make the food look tasty. I guess that's what matters.
Sure, you could celebrate national peanut day with just one thing, and that thing was delicious grilled chicken legs, slathered with Peanut Butter Barbecue Sauce, but what's the fun in that when you can celebrate with TWO recipes? Basically, I don't like to have a meal without something a little sweet at the end. I have a sweet tooth. It's right beside my garlic tooth and my meat tooth.
This loaf of pure deliciousness is fantastically gluten free and vegan if you can believe it. It's like a granola bar got married to cake and had an oatmeal muffin baby, then sprinkled it with chocolate chips. No seriously guys, it's that good. It makes a filling breakfast, but it's perfect for a relatively guilt free after dinner sweet too.
Sometimes you just need something a little more filling than nibbles when you're cooking for a crowd or game day. These Boneless Ribs With Apple-Hickory Barbecue Sauce fill the hole, can be eaten as finger food, proper like with a fork and knife, or on a bun for portability. They're sticky, sweet, and oh so delicious. Finished with some brown sugar on top, you'll have people screaming for you to "gimme some sugar".
Nothing's better than bacon. Well, there's chocolate, that's really good, and butter, and garlic, garlic-butter... okay there are several things AS GOOD AS bacon. But when you wrap things IN bacon, well, you're upping the game to the next level of delicious. This recipe for Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Rings With Sriracha And Brown Sugar Baste are bacon-y and sweet, and spicy, and all around YUMMY.

and so on...
Could I place a request as well?
Instead of having the options to insert before/after/replace the content on "WordPress Contextual Help" it would be easier to JUST load (show) and edit the default content.
This way one can decide where to place the edited text. Before/after or in-between. Would save so much time and options...
And if one doesn't like it can always reset :)
Thank you for an excellent idea.
Hi marikamitsos,
Thank you for report the problem. The problem which you showed me is fixed. Regarding your request, I have tried before I launch this plugin. Unfortunately the default contextual help content is hard-coded. So I cannot collect the data from database. Only if user click on every page, then I can collect.
Sam Hoe
Hi tsavino,
Please provide me the detail of the problem because I can upload and insert the image. Thanks.
Sam Hoe
Thanx Sam for your quick response. What I mentioned is solved, EXCELLENT.
I'm afraid tsavino is right.
The visual editor does not save pics, links and other things maybe. They can NOT even be clicked. They DO save though on HTML
Even worst, paragraphs do not change not even on HTML. It is just a loooooong text of just one loooong paragraph. I managed to make paragraphs by manually adding the p code on HTML, BUT they get lost again when you go back to the visual editor.
I have wordpress 3.1.1 on a test site and have all plugins deactivated. So it is not a conflict with anything else.
You better give it another stab. :)
Thanx again
Hi marikamitsos,
The problem which cause p tag missing is fixed. Thank you for report this problem.
Regarding the problem of upload image, I can upload the image and insert into help content.
Sam Hoe
Same problem as marikamitsos even after upgrading still not upload is possible
Hi tsavino,
Please give me more details about upload bug. So far I haven't got this problem.
When ever I click on add image, add video, add audio, add media nothing happens no popup to access my media and I use FireFox 4. I have tryed it one a single install, muliti site, and with no plug-in at all still not popup for to access the media. I just does nothing.
Hi tsavino,
I already tested in Firefox 4.0 and working fine. But loading slower than testing in Google chrome.Is this problem only appear in my plugin? Did you check your default one which is in pages and posts?
Yes pages and post work fine tried it in chrome and IE9 no luck
I am also using WP Super Edit and none of the extra tinyMCE button show I turned that plug-in off but it still does not work. tried it on my Ubuntu box to still does not work.
Hi tsavino,
It is so weird. if you can provide me your wordpress login details, I will go inside and check the problem.
need a email address don't want to put info on here.
mine is email@example.com
Hi tsavino,
Did you change your admin page? How did you change your admin page theme? When I check the source code of my plugin page, I found that the important scripts and css are missing. I guess the problem is because of that. BTW, did you try my plugin in others wordpress site?
yes 4 other sites, I have done nothing to the admin pages and the admin theme is the one that comes with wordpress...
Hi tsavino,
So your 4 other sites also got this problem?
yes all 4 and one is clean install same problem...
Hi tsavino,
Sorry, I still don't know why. I will working on this problem. Thank you for reporting this problem.
Sam Hoe
Could it be browser related?
I mean I only have and use Firefox4 or Firefox 3.something
ff3 ff4 chrome and ie7/8/9 I have them all none work
Looking at your code for the editor found some site you mite want to look at. I do not think it's call up the scripts the correct way.
Sam Hoe
I fixed it with code below. On line 32 is where I replaced
// Add Actions and Filters
add_action('contextual_help','shcontextual_help', 10, 3);
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'sh_help_dashboard_widget' );
// TinyMce
function sh_help_tinymce(){
add_filter('teeny_mce_buttons', 'teeny_mce_buttons');
With the code below and it works fine now test it and let me know.
// Add Actions and Filters
add_action('contextual_help','shcontextual_help', 10, 3);
add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'sh_help_dashboard_widget' );
// TinyMce
function show_tinyMCE() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'common' );
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-color' );
if (function_exists('add_thickbox')) add_thickbox();
if (function_exists('wp_tiny_mce')) wp_tiny_mce();
Thank you tsavino. I will change this code into my plugin.
Cudos for you Tsavino. The image upload works fine now.
BUT Sam (or even Tsavino),
I'm afraid the "insert link" still does NOT work in WYSWYG. Could you please give it another look?
Thank you
ff3 ff4 chrome and ie7/8/9 I have them all and they work for me wp-3.1.2 what are you using?
Hi, marikamitsos
You are right. The "insert link" still not working in visual editor. Only working in html editor.

HP DAT DDS5 external USB tape drive connected to a CentOS 5 server. Some files are being backed-up directly to the tape using the Tar utility/command.
If I connect the tape drive to a Windows machine, and assuming I have installed the correct drivers, is it possible to 'see' the tar files on the tape?
Would I be able to use NTBackup to copy the files to the windows machine, and then use something like 7zip to extract the tar files?

A semi-oriented radial measure for measuring the efficiency of decision making units with negative data, using DEA
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a nonparametric method for measuring the efficiency of a set of decision making units such as firms or public sector agencies, first introduced into the operational research and management science literature by Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes (CCR) [Charnes, A., Cooper, W.W., Rhodes, E., 1978. Measuring the efficiency of decision making units. European Journal of Operational Research 2, 429-444]. The original DEA models were applicable only to technologies characterized by positive inputs/outputs. In subsequent literature there have been various approaches to enable DEA to deal with negative data. In this paper, we propose a semi-oriented radial measure, which permits the presence of variables which can take both negative and positive values. The model is applied to data on a notional effluent processing system to compare the results with those yielded by two alternative methods for dealing with negative data in DEA: The modified slacks-based model suggested by Sharp et al. [Sharp, J.A., Liu, W.B., Meng, W., 2006. A modified slacks-based measure model for data envelopment analysis with 'natural' negative outputs and inputs. Journal of Operational Research Society 57 (11) 1-6] and the range directional model developed by Portela et al. [Portela, M.C.A.S., Thanassoulis, E., Simpson, G., 2004. A directional distance approach to deal with negative data in DEA: An application to bank branches. Journal of Operational Research Society 55 (10) 1111-1121]. A further example explores the advantages of using the new model.

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: Apr 01st, 1995
Running Time: 89
Director: Toni English
Company: Wave Video
Cast: Dyanna Lauren, Trinity Lane, Lana Sands, Brad Armstrong, Cal Jammer, Tom Byron, Tera Heart, Randy West, Rebecca Bardoux, Colt Steele, Debi Diamond, Kaitlin Ashley, Steven Scott, Mark Davis
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Film
Colt Steels stars in this drama of a drifter who's out of money and gas. At the suggestion of a service station owner, he takes a job at a nearby ranch to earn enough to get to Mexico. Dyanna Lauren's dad owns the ranch, and Dyanna is engaged to Mark Davis – but not happily.
Up to this point in the story, foreman Randy West has already boinked Lana Sands, the maid. Meanwhile, Dyanna is depressed, so instead of doing Hamlet's soliloquy, she takes the time for a long, hot solo scene, but that doesn't really do the trick. And speaking of tricks, Mark is joined by Marc Wallice, Tom Byron and Cal Jammer at a private party where they are entertained by Debi Diamond and Trinity Lane. The girls dance, play with each other, then take on the four guys in a long (but too crowded) group scene which includes a d.p. on Debi.
Better is the bachelorette party for Dyanna, with male stripper Brad Armstrong taking on Dyanna's girl-friends Kaitlyn Ashley, Tera Heart and Rebecca Bardoux. Just the right amount of people to get a nod for best group scene on film.
Finally, Dyanna accidentally plugs Mark and leaves with Colt, where she screws him on the road to New Orleans (which looks suspiciously like the San Bernadino Mountains).
This would be an excellent addition to any retailer's film section.

Released: Apr 01st, 2000
Running Time: 78
Company: Odyssey Group Video
Cast: Bunny Luv, Daisy Chain, Halli Aston, Love Lee, Delaney Daniels, Barrett Moore, Bobbie Barron, Charlie (I), Charlene Aspen
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
All traces of Shane are gone, but the multi girl/girl sleepover series continues.
This nine-girl slumber party in a haunted house is more like a slap-happy all-woman orgy. Following the girl talk and kidding around, which everyone wants people to think happens at all parties of this type, the gals split off in pairs and trios and supplement the lack of male meat with dildos, toys and strap-ons. Action starts with a stairway coupling between the very nasty Delaney Daniels and Daisy Chain and continues with fun in the tub: a threesome with Halli, Charlene, and Love Lee... and more.
Parts of this resemble a home video where the women relax, kid around, and tease the camera. From shaving to girl/girl screwing and many things in between, this has a variety of action all pointed towards the female center of gravity: between her legs.
