Oh come now - as soon as the New World Order is in effect, people won't be in prison for spying unless
some sadistic fool wants to accuse others of spying from outer space. Just think, those who live to be the serfs for the wealthy sociopathic idiots who
control the world due to their dishonesty, greed, lack of goodness, desires to have it all - the qualities that law enforcement frowns upon but once you get the Big $$$, home free. Big leap, big chance and big life. Whoopee. Really? No it sucks and the evil sobs who have done such harm to the world and who failed to recall the message of Jesus, Budda, of Confucious, of all great prophets and of God and Jesus,- that message to love one another, to treat eachother with kindness and respect, well that just did not happen on earth. We face our demise from Fukishima. We face our demise
from the satanic actions of the very stupid pigs who should be in jail instead of having the time of their lives. But, sooner or later, we must pay, we must answer the piper, we must surrender. And those who harm will be in training forever - training is not a good place. It is in fact a very horrible place - it is the place that each fears - for it is in our own minds where these things are. Even if dead, the mind continues to matriculate....

We are opening a salon and will need scheduling for multiple stylists that is DEAD simple.
1. Is there a way to display the Calendar View that will automatically limit to one particular Staff?
2. Is there a way to -view- a Staff page? ie. we want visitors to be able to see a formatted Staff Directory and were hoping to put bio information in each Staff record.
3. Is there a way to send appt. reminders to clients perhaps 24 hrs before an appt?
4. Is there a way to send periodic follow-up e-mails to clients (eg. every 2 months.)
5. Last but not least... We would very much prefer that Staff NOT be anywhere in the WP Admin---we want their interaction to look like the rest of the site. Is it possible to theme -all- aspects of their calendar to match our site theme? Or must they access their calendar from within the WP Admin?

(CNN) — A man was rescued Thursday after falling from a cruise ship and treading water off the coast of Florida for more than an hour, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
The 39-year-old was on a Carnival Sensation cruise ship about 28 miles east of the Florida city of Port St. Lucie when he fell, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Nick Ameen. The man fell about 11 p.m. Wednesday.
Coast Guard rescuers began to search for him, but a Disney cruise ship rescued him first.
Rescuers from the Disney ship scooped the tired man from the water about 12:30 a.m. Thursday, Ameen said.
"He was exhausted after treading water for so long," Ameen said. "We don't know what caused him to fall off the ship, but we are happy that he is on board now."

Forint, Bonds Tumble as Moody's Cuts Hungary to Step Above Junk
The forint tumbled, extending the biggest decline among emerging-market currencies this year, and bonds and stocks fell after Moody's Investors Service lowered Hungary's credit rating to one step from junk.
The forint snapped a four-day rally, sliding 1.4 percent to 280.32 per euro at 5:15 p.m. in Budapest, the most among more than 150 currencies tracked by Bloomberg worldwide. The yield on bonds maturing in February 2016 rose 10 basis points to 8.06 percent. The BUX Index of stocks dropped 0.7 percent.
Hungary, the first European Union nation to get an international bailout during the credit crisis in 2008, is levying special taxes and funneling assets from pension funds to plug the budget gap. The government is relying on "temporary measures rather than sustainable" fiscal policies, leading to a "gradual but significant loss" of the eastern European nation's financial strength, Moody's said in a report today.
"We do not like what is happening in Hungary and see the forint as one of the most vulnerable currencies in the region," Elisabeth Andreew, chief foreign currency strategist at Nordea Bank AB in Copenhagen, wrote in a note to clients. "Market forces to some extent will prevent the government from doing even more harm."
Prime Minister Viktor Orban's cabinet on Nov. 24 approved a plan to strip citizens of state pensions unless they move privately managed retirement funds to the state. The government is imposing special taxes on selected industries until at least 2014 to cut the budget deficit below the European Union limit of 3 percent of output next year.
Default Swaps
Moody's downgraded Hungary to Baa3, its lowest investment- grade ranking, the company said today in a statement from London.
Standard & Poor's put Hungary on review for downgrade in July after talks on economic policy failed between the government and the International Monetary Fund. S&P kept Hungary's rating on Nov. 3 at BBB-, its lowest investment-grade category, with a negative outlook.
Fitch Ratings said last month it may cut Hungary from BBB, the second-lowest investment-grade ranking, because the pension changes are "negative" for public finances.
"There is now a clear risk that, at some time over the next year, Hungary loses its investment grade status," Timothy Ash, head of emerging-market research at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc in London, said in an e-mailed note. "The message from all three rating agencies is that they feel uncomfortable with the course of government policy making at present."
Bond Risk
The cost of protecting the country's debt against non-payment with credit default swaps rose 15 basis points to 370.9 basis points, less than 10 basis points from the highest level since June reached on Nov. 30, according to data from CMA. It compares with 300.7 basis points for Romania, which is rated at the same level as Hungary by Moody's and a step lower at non-investment grade of BB+ by S&P.
The default swaps market has "already downgraded Hungary to junk status," Luis Costa, an emerging-market strategist at Citigroup Inc. in London, wrote in a note to clients.
Credit default swaps, which rise as the perception of creditworthiness deteriorates, pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent should a government or company fail to adhere to its debt agreements.
The yield on Hungary's dollar-denominated bonds maturing in January 2020 widened 18 basis points to 6.36 percent today, according to HSBC Holdings Plc prices compiled by Bloomberg.
Creditor Base
A downgrade to junk by two credit companies would mean the country's dollar bonds will have to leave major U.S. credit indexes, "eroding part of Hungary's credit investor base," Barclays Capital strategists including Koon Chow and Christian Keller in London wrote in a note to clients.
The forint has weakened 3.7 percent against the euro this year and 11 percent versus the dollar, the steepest decline among 25 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
Hungary last week became the first of the EU's eastern members to raise interest rates this year to combat the fastest inflation since June and support the forint. The increase in the benchmark two-week deposit rate to 5.5 percent from a record-low 5.25 percent signals the start of a monetary tightening cycle, online news portal Index said on Dec. 3, citing central bank President Andras Simor.
"It's possible foreign players will try to squeeze out further rate increases" from the central bank, said Attila Behan, head of trading at K&H Bank, a unit of KBC Groep NV in Budapest. The government "does not care what messages they send abroad, they are not trying at all to convince or calm down international markets," Behan said in a phone interview today.
Central Bank
The government has called on Simor to resign and said it wants to strip him of the right to nominate policy makers responsible for setting interest rates, giving parliament the power to select future policy makers. The terms of four of the seven Monetary Council members will expire in March.
Traders in interest derivatives have bolstered their bets for borrowing-cost increases in the past month. Three-month forward rate agreements are trading at 6.26 percent, or 65 basis points above the three-month Budapest Interbank Offered Rate at 5.61 percent. The spread rose from 10 basis points on Nov. 4.
Hungary will probably be able to sustain state finances on expectations that the new government will continue to narrow the budget deficit, said Kieran Curtis, who helps manage $2 billion of emerging-market debt including Hungarian bonds, at Aviva Investors in London.
Orban's government plans to cut the budget shortfall to 2.94 percent of gross domestic product in 2011, down from a targeted 3.8 percent this year. The previous government's austerity measures narrowed the shortfall from a record 9.3 percent four years ago.
"If reforms come along, there is a lot of upside in the assets," Curtis said. With the yield on forint-denominated 10-year bonds above 8 percent, "Hungary is an OK place to invest," he said.

This soup had a fantastic flavor, but it turned out to be so thick that it could not have been served to guests. It was almost one big ball of cheese! Maybe I did something wrong - didn't melt the cheese slowly enough? I don't know, as it was very delicious, I think I may try to make it again, melting very, very slowly, and using less cheese. Sorry!

Burton favored in Loudon
The Associated Press
LOUDON, N.H. (AP) - The CMT 300 presents a rare scenario in this Winston Cup season - a weekend that will begin with neither Jeff Gordon nor Mark Martin favored to win.
Jeff Burton is the focal point of the second of two summer visits to New Hampshire International Speedway. Gordon and Martin - 1-2 in the series standings and winners in 13 of 22 races this season - enter qualifying Friday as the underdogs.
Burton is the only driver aside from them to win over the last two months. He did it July 12 in the Jiffy Lube 300, dominating both Roush Racing teammate Martin and reigning Winston Cup champion Gordon on the 1.058-mile Loudon oval.
Although he led 191 of 300 laps, Burton doesn't consider himself an overwhelming favorite this time.
"Our success here in the last race doesn't guarantee success this race," he said. "It means that we have a real good place to start from."
Martin, coming off a victory last Saturday night in Bristol, Tenn., finished 7.439 seconds behind in the Jiffy Lube 300. Gordon was third.
Martin needs to be just that this time if he is to erase much of the 67-point gap by which he trails Gordon. Burton is seventh, but with just 11 races remaining has no hope of making up a deficit of 639 points. There is a likelihood that track conditions Sunday will be other than what they were seven weeks ago or even a day earlier. That doesn't both-er Martin.
"The track conditions changed all weekend, so I wasn't sure what to ex-pect during the race," he said. "But we found the right setup."
Changing track conditions also means Burton's crew might desert the formula that made his Ford Taurus so dominant in the Jiffy Lube 300. But that's nothing new.
"The race setup that we had that won the race was totally different than the one we had the time be-fore," he said.
As he goes for his fifth career vic-tory, Burton will try to be a bit more patient than he was in July. His trip to the winner's circle was nearly short-circuited on the first lap.
"I messed up and missed a gear," he said of a near-accident with Kyle Petty. "The 44 car got by me and scooted up the race track, and when he did I went under him."
But the ease of Burton's victory was no aberration. His 1997 Loudon triumph was by a margin of 5.372 seconds, not as impressive as last month but still a rout by Winston Cup standards.
And it's not just this track, al-though the topography seems to mesh with Burton's driving style and the strength of his setups. One of his vic-tories came on the half-mile track in Martinsville, Va., like NHIS a virtu-ally flat oval with just 12 degrees of banking in the turns.
Although he hopes form plays it-self out Sunday, Burton realizes it shouldn't be as simple as it was last month.
"It was one of those days that you mash the gas and it hooks up, and when you turn the wheel it turns," he said. "It was easy."

Beating a traditionally strong program like Hutchinson's is always a feather in the swimming cap for the Montevideo boys team. After beating Hutchinson in 2012, Montevideo lost to the Tigers last season.
The Thunder Hawks edged the Tigers 98-88 last Thursday at Hutchinson for their most satisfying win of the season.
The T-Hawks got off to a great start, going 1-2 in the emedley relay, with Jack Spaeth, Tyler DeZeeuw, Daylen Mitlyng and Carson Hein winning the event and the quartet of Jakob Erickson, Kane Glomstad, Calin Anderson and Joe Varpness taking second.
"The start of the meet was huge, splitting up our medley relays and creating two that had the opportunity of going 1-2 in the event," said coach Matt Olson.
Also winning their events were Calin Anderson, butterfly; Spaeth, backstrome; and Glomstad, breaststroke.
" It was a meet that everything had to come together," said Olson. "It all came together to give our team a great boost of confidence with a win."
Montevideo's next meet will be the Watertown-Mayer Invitational on Saturday.

These pins do not stay on to hold your bedskirt. As you pull the elastic to place the bedskirt, they pull out and fly across the room. Just use large safety pins. This was a waste of my money.

Good bedding helper
By DYC

This is the perfect item to use if your fitted sheets come off the corners of your mattress! Also great for keeping dusters in place when moving the mattress. If used with your fitted sheets, you do need to insert them under the mattress rather than the sides or the pins will pull out. They do NOT pull out if used under the mattress. The pins are VERY sharp so you need to be really careful inserting them. But that is not a con; just an FYI.

Amazon Mechanical Turk API
From their site: Amazon Mechanical Turk provides a web services API for computers to integrate Artificial Artificial Intelligence directly into their processing by making requests of humans. Developers use the Amazon Mechanical Turk web services API to submit tasks to the Amazon Mechanical Turk web site, approve completed tasks, and incorporate the answers into their software applications. To the application, the transaction looks very much like any remote procedure call - the application sends the request, and the service returns the results. In reality, a network of humans fuels this Artificial Artificial Intelligence by coming to the web site, searching for and completing tasks, and receiving payment for their work.

The Programmable Employer: Application Design In the Age of Crowdsourcing
As I continue to report on new APIs popping up all over the Internet, one theme has caught my attention: systems powered by simple information tasks completed by humans. It's developing trend in which humans take requests from software systems, complete them, and feed the results back into the system. This is a fundamental shift in computing. Now, Human input is no longer solely for the purpose of controlling or directing the application. It has become just another functional component of the system. The human is taking the place of a software component and can in some instances be described in terms of expected inputs and outputs.
QuickTate Offers Transcription Made by Real Humans
In this age of automation and separation it is surprising to find human components of automated services. QuickTate believes that humans are still better than computers at speech recognition and that's why the QuickTate API is built around living breathing typists. The company has taken the old model of a transcription service and revamped it to take advantage of the internet age that we live in: typists are distributed rather than co-located and jobs can be submitted via API from any number of applications.

Kritiko Boureki - Cretan Boureki!
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 1 hr 15 mins
Here is a great traditional recipe for Boureki from Crete. These are quite easy to prepare and make a delicious light lunch or dinner. As a variation, you can add oregano & garlic. You may also use an extra sheet of phyllo to close the Boureki up!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 kg potato, cut in thin slices
- 1 kg courgettes or 1 kg zucchini, cut in thin slices
- 1 bunch of fresh mint, finely chopped
- 250 ml milk
- 570 g grated mizithra cheese or 570 g crumbled feta cheese
- salt and black pepper
- 2 sheets phyllo dough (home made or frozen) or 2 sheets phyllo dough (home made or frozen)
- olive oil
- Roll out the first phyllo sheet and spread it on an oiled baking pan. Oil the phyllo sheet and then roll out the second phyllo sheet and spread it over the first one. Both phyllo sheets should come up above the borders of the baking pan.
- Mix the potatoes, courgette, cheese and mint thoroughly in a large bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Carefully spoon this mixture over the phyllo. (You can also make this by making seasoned layers of alternating vegetables ~ very pretty when sliced!).
- Pour over the cup of milk, fold the remaining parts of the phyllo sheets inside the pan and bake in preheated oven in 200°C until the potatoes are tender (around 1 - 1 1/2 hour). Add a little extra milk if it seems to dry out before it's done cooking.
- Serve warm with a salad and fresh bread!

What a great recipe! In a hurry to get dinner on the table - I made this with cous cous salad using courgettes from the garden. EVERYONE ate it and loved it!
wow this is fantastic, i first had this in crete last yearand have to say this is as good as mamas. if you haventtried it yet then this is a must.
Delicious! I have never had boureki in quite this way. The veggie filling is pretty standard, I'd say. What makes this different is the phyllo shell, turning it into a 'pita'. Very nice as it made it a kind of Greek quiche. Scaled to 1/2 and happy I tried this verion, which I'll be making again. (don't leave out the fresh mint - it's a must have!)

Hi All,
I'm going to try and be as descriptive as possible - apologies if im not completely clear, but any help you could give would be really appreciated!
So i have got 5 blogs.
In the following places:

(also set up on anotherblog2.exampleblog.com)
(also set up on anotherblog3.exampleblog.com)
(also set up on anotherblog4.exampleblog.com)
These are all set up to run from the same sql database and are sharing a table of users - each blog has it's own prefix within the database.
The domain names are hosted with 1&1 and the web hosting is with heart internet.
I've got the domain name "exampleblog.com" pointed at heart-internet's dns.
I want the "www." to allways appear in the url - currently typing in "www.exampleblog.com" takes me to "www.com" if i type "exampleblog.com" it works.
I also would like to point a bunch of domain names at each of the above blog subdomains - masking the subdomain so that no matter how the user gets to "anotherblog4.exampleblog.com" for example, the url in the addressbar will say "www.anotherblog4.com".
Apologies if this isnt clear, happy to give more info if needed.

I'm using WPMS and have several blogs installed via the subdomain method, e.g. blah.mydomain.com and hello.mydomain.com. I only use the one domain. I'm wondering if it's possible to have redirects, so that if someone trying to visit mydomain.com/blah or mydomain.com/hello, they'll get redirected to the appropriate subdomain blog, instead of the "Well, this is somewhat embarrassing..." 404 page that WordPress spits out.
I don't intend to use categories or other things that might go into a permalink that have the same name as my sites.
My Permalinks are currently set to Day and Name, and I've tried saving and re-checking, but the issue persists. I've checked my Redirects as set up in cPanel, and tried adding and deleting them, but it still gives me the 404 page.

GunSmoke 05
Old Time Radio Programs. Gunsmoke Starring William Conrad as Matt Dillon. Western Theme.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
Outstanding program
I loved the series! I've worked my way through the Six Shooter, Fort Laramie, and now Gunsmoke. What a great ride!
Gunsmoke series
I just finished listening to the last episode of the entire run of the Gunsmoke radio series. (Took me almost two years of listening on my mp3 player while riding the bus to and from work). It is a bittersweet moment... I tremendously enjoyed the program, but I am saddened by the fact that I will never hear a new Gunsmoke epidose. Gunsmoke was the best! Now I'm working on Yours Truly Johnny Dollar.

Sir Henry Williams, alias Cromwell, MP
Sir Henry's profile is now listed with these children:
... a mess, to be fair.
This is, as far as I know, the correct list of offspring:
CROMWELL Sir Oliver ( 1563 - 1655 )
There are some obvious duplicate profiles, but DOB's and DOD's vary greatly, and some profiles don't seem to fit in at all.
I don't have all the necessary collaboration permissions to clean up all of this, and I'm reluctant to disconnect profiles, even if they seem misplaced.
Any curators who can help out?

Hello Maven: Elizabeth Ratcliff/ Whale is in my direct line of Ancestors married to Edward Whalley. The Tacinda Tudor line descends to a Jane Wilkinson who's married to cousin of Cromwell....and Im looking for the Margaret Mercer/ Wm. Mercer connection to Jane Wilkerson as Margaret Mercer is my 9th ggrandfather's mother: Once Perrott ap Rice 1600. Any observation that might clear up the connection would be appreciated as we know the Cromwell's are connected to the Rice's....Kind Regards DCRice 1948

Maven: I found that Ediga MERCER1540 married Gilbert Grey of Butterfulk and their son Patrick Grey married Lady MARY STEWART grand daughter of Scotts King James V. They connect at Jane GREY descendent of TACINDA TUDOR who's Daughter marries WILKERSON.....The Silence around the MERCER leads me to suspect that Margaret MERCER is the illegitimate daughter of Jane MERCER and Wm. Mercer, raised by Wm. Do you have any light to shed here? Mr Rice Family connects to the Cromwells above at Frances Whalley I think.....Edward Whalley is a direct Blood Family member. DCR

Questions and Answers – Neurostimulators
What is spinal cord stimulation and how does it work?
Spinal cord stimulation (also known as neurostimulation) provides pain relief by disrupting the pain signals traveling between the spinal cord and the brain. It is a proven safe and effective treatment for chronic pain.
One component of spinal cord stimulation is a neurostimulator that:
- Is a device similar to a pacemaker
- Is surgically implanted under the skin, typically in your abdomen or upper buttocks
- Delivers mild electrical impulses to an area near your spine through one or more leads (insulated medical wires).
Is it right for me?
Talk to your doctor to determine what kinds of pain treatments would work for you. The choice of treatment depends on the type of pain, how severe it is, and how you respond to your pain treatment. If your doctor thinks you are a good candidate for spinal cord stimulation, you can complete a screening trial so that you can experience the therapy to see if it will work for you.
Is neurostimulation new?
No. Medtronic neurostimulation systems have been on the market for more than 30 years and have helped thousands of people worldwide manage their chronic pain and enhance their lives.
Will spinal cord stimulation completely eliminate my chronic pain?
Typically, people who find the treatment helpful experience effective pain relief. However, spinal cord stimulation does not eliminate the source of the pain, so the amount of pain reduction varies from person to person.
It is important that you manage your expectations of spinal cord stimulation.
Not everyone responds to neurostimulation the same way and your experience may vary. To understand the benefits and risks of spinal cord stimulation, please discuss them with your doctor.
Will the neurostimulation system eliminate other sources of pain?
Your neurostimulation system will not provide relief from other types of pain such as headaches, stomachaches, fractures, etc.
How big is a neurostimulator?
The device is about the size of a stopwatch. Exact dimensions and weights vary by model.
What is the surgery like?
The surgery to implant the neurostimulation system takes approximately 1 to 3 hours and may require a brief hospital stay.
What if I need an MRI?
When you have an implanted electronic device, you have to be careful about MRI scans. The good news is that MRI scans are possible with Medtronic neurostimulation systems for chronic pain,* with proper safeguards. In fact, only Medtronic offers neurostimulation systems that are FDA-approved for MRI scans anywhere in the body, under specific conditions.**
*Excludes Itrel® 3
**Under specific conditions; requires SureScan® MRI implantable neurostimulator and Vectris® SureScan MRI leads.

SPARTA, Ky. — NASCAR finds itself fighting on two fronts entering tonight's Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway.
The race is the scheduled debut of a track-specific aerodynamic rules package, one of five NASCAR has planned this season. The package is designed to improve the racing in the Sprint Cup series.
It has been hard to get a read on how that will work out. Most of the test and practice time scheduled for teams at Kentucky this week has been rained out.
Carl Edwards is less concerned about how his first Sprint Cup Series win of the season came to be than what it means.
Who can blame him?
After a very public and high-profile move to Joe Gibbs Racing from Roush Fenway Racing in the offseason, a lot was expected out of Edwards and his new No. 19 Toyota team.
Until the series made its annual two-week stop at Charlotte Motor Speedway this month, Edwards' season had been mostly a mixed bag — he was 18th in the series standings.
About a year ago, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was doing the same thing he's doing now: Enjoying a season's-best finish at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway.
That's where Stenhouse hopes the comparison to last season will end.
After his second-place finish last spring at Bristol, Stenhouse's sophomore season in the Sprint Cup Series was filled with more downs than ups. The Roush Fenway Racing driver ended up 27th in the series standings, eight places worse than his rookie season.
What a difference a year has made for Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Just not in a way that may first seem apparent.
Through the season's first seven races last season, Earnhardt was sixth in the Sprint Cup Series standings and had four top-five finishes.
After seven races this season, Earnhardt is seventh in the series standings and again has four top-five finishes.
FORT WORTH, Texas — Jimmie Johnson said he needed the off-week in the Sprint Cup Series schedule in order to "reboot."
Consider Johnson and the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team fully charged.
While a hint of doubt may have emerged with Johnson's uncharacteristic 35th-place finish two weeks ago at Martinsville, Va. — a track on which he typically dominates — his victory in Saturday night's Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway served as a powerful reminder of his team's potential.
INDIANAPOLIS — Apparently the Las Vegas odds were not that good after all.
NASCAR confirmed on Friday the deadline has come and gone without receiving a formal request from Speedway Motorsports Inc. owner Bruton Smith to move one of his Sprint Cup Series race dates from Charlotte Motor Speedway to Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the 2014 season.
In May, Smith told WBTV in Charlotte there was "a 70 percent chance" he'd move Charlotte's fall Cup race to the track he owns in Las Vegas.
DARLINGTON, S.C. — One big win to cap 200 special memories.
Jimmie Johnson held off Denny Hamlin to win Saturday night's Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, giving Hendrick Motorsports its first Sprint Cup Series victory of the 2012 season and Rick Hendrick's 200th as a team owner.
Johnson also won race No. 199 for HMS last October at Kansas but few thought it would take over six months before No. 200 — a feat matched only by Petty Enterprises — would be reached.
Hendrick was on hand for the win, spending the final laps of the race atop Johnson's pit box.
Saturday night's non-points race at Daytona International Speedway will mark the unofficial start of the 2012 NASCAR season.
It was only three months ago Tony Stewart won his third Sprint Cup Series championship in dramatic fashion and NASCAR crowned new champions in its Nationwide (Ricky Stenhouse Jr.) and Trucks series (Austin Dillon).
While many of the faces competing for race wins and championship this year will be the same, many new story lines will unfold as the new season kicks off with the Budweiser Shootout.
Here's a look at five things to keep an eye on:
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- NASCAR officials are investigating a physical altercation involving team owner Richard Childress and driver Kyle Busch in the garage area following Saturday's Truck series race at Kansas Speedway.
According to a member of a Truck team who asked not to be identified, Childress took off his jewelry before approaching Busch in the garage area and struck him with his fist.
CONCORD, N.C. -- Carl Edwards won the $1 million -- and then he wrecked.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Part -- but not all -- of the plans IndyCar Series star Danica Patrick has to enter NASCAR will finally be revealed today.
Patrick, whose flirtation with NASCAR has been the subject of endless speculation for months, has signed a contract with JR Motorsports to run a limited schedule in the Nationwide Series, beginning next season, The Charlotte Observer and ThatsRacin.com have learned.
However, exactly what that schedule includes remains unclear. Sources said no specific number of races -- or even her first Nationwide race -- will be announced on Tuesday.

Testicular Cancer - Top 10 facts
- A mans lifetime risk of developing testicular cancer is approximately 1 in 250
- It accounts for 1% of all the cancers in men
- It usually affects young men (age -20-39) in their prime of youth
- Testicular cancer has the highest cure rates among all cancers (>90%)
- But, like all cancers, it can recur
- Testicular cancer is most common in Caucasians and rare in men of African or Asian descent
- Most commonly there are two types of testicular cancers--seminomas, or slow growing cancer and non-seminomas, or fast growing cancer
- Prominent symptoms include pain/swelling/lumps in testicles/groin areas
- Prominent risk factors include undescended testis (cryptorchidism), family history, mumps and inguinal hernia
- Surgical removal of a testicle will not affect fertility. Chemotherapy, on the other hand, can harm sperm count/quality. Sperm banking may then be considered.

The project to replace the bridge over Bear Creek at the entrance to Evergreen Lake Park has been delayed until next year.
Ellen O'Connor, executive director of the Evergreen Park and Recreation District, confirmed that the city of Denver, which is in charge of the project, contacted EPRD and said work would be delayed until sometime in 2017. The project originally had been scheduled for this fall.
A New Hampshire man has been charged with driving under the influence and vehicular homicide in connection with the accident that killed former Conifer resident and good samaritan Jana Elliott.
This week, Jeffco Open Space will celebrate its first milestone in the broader statewide effort to promote outdoor recreation when it opens a newly constructed section of the Peaks to Plains Trail in Clear Creek Canyon.
A Morrison resident was killed Tuesday night when his motorcycle went out of control and hit a guardrail on U.S. 285 at Windy Point.
William Salanty, 57, was southbound about 8:41 p.m. when the 1990 Harley-Davidson Softail he was driving failed to negotiate a right-hand curve.
A recent interruption in Evergreen area emergency dispatch operations was a result of equipment problems at CenturyLink, according to information released at last week's meeting of the Evergreen Fire Protection District board.
Secondary 911 dispatch operations were knocked out for nearly five hours July 7 — meaning the Jeffco Sheriff's Office had to call Evergreen Fire/Rescue directly about any serious incidents that would have normally been routed to EFR dispatch.
If you can't see the forest for the trees, maybe that's because you're in a treehouse.
The Evergreen area has a wide variety of treehouses that make their owners proud — from a Hobbit-like playhouse to one with a zip-line attached to a playhouse/treehouse with a suspension bridge. Don't forget the "Geometree," an octagonal treehouse.
Dredging at Evergreen Lake was completed last week, two months earlier than planned.
ESCO Construction removed 12,000 cubic feet of sediment from the north side of the lake. Much of that sediment had flowed into the lake during the 2013 flooding. Twelve-thousand cubic feet is the equivalent of putting sediment nearly 6 feet deep onto a football field.
The work was funded by a $1.4 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
As her father walked her down the aisle, Jacqueline Davis saw her groom, Sean Toomey, and 30 family members and friends surrounded by the beautiful artwork of St. Peter's Basilica.
Rather than a local ceremony or a tropical destination wedding, Catholic couple Sean and Jacqueline Toomey were married at the Vatican on June 6. The honor is a rare one, as only four couples from the United States wed at the Vatican each year.
The long-awaited return of the Coney Island hot dog stand in Bailey has arrived, but frankfurter fans will now have shorter waits for a fresh dog.
About two months after local businessman John D. Wallace entered into a lease-to-purchase agreement for the iconic eatery, the doors are open — complete with a new menu, plenty of locally sourced goods and the same black-and-white checkerboard floor.

I just found out to my dismay that Visio 2007 does not include the ability to output drawings in EPS/PS formats, which makes it unsuitable for my uses.
I wish to create various circuit digrams (including some texts for resistor values, voltage sources, etc...) with most electronic components (resistors, logic gates). Visio was a great tool for this, but I need to include these in lab reports which I am typesetting with LaTeX.
The recommended format to include images in LaTeX is PostScript, so the fonts can be properly substituted, and the drawings scale properly.
So my question:
Is there a Windows program which will allow me to create circuit diagrams, add various labels, and export it to PostScript format?

Terrebonne swats Vandebilt to finish as district runner-up
Published: Saturday, February 17, 2001 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 16, 2001 at 11:00 p.m.
The first quarter was not much fun for Terrebonne High School's Durrell Murray on Friday night, but the remaining time was another story.
Although Murray suffered a jammed finger that required medical attention, he finished with 28 points in the Tigers' 74-52 win over Vandebilt in the regular season finale for both teams.
"Durrell came back and played well and gave us good leadership on the floor," THS coach David Neal said. "Overall, we had good spacing on offense and we moved the ball well to the open man. That helped against their (the Terriers') pressure."
Although the Tigers completed District 9-4A play on a good note at 8-2 (20-10 overall), they finished as a runner up to Assumption (9-1), who defeated Ellender on Friday.
The offensive output helped Terrebonne gradually pull away from Vandy following a close first period.
Mike Lewis used a couple of dunks in the initial four minutes to get the Tigers rolling, but Vandy's Jarod Voisin made a baseline jumper and a 3-pointer to help keep VCHS within a point heading into the second quarter.
The contest would be tied two times in the second quarter before a Murray 3-pointer and a leaning jumper by Greg Turner put THS on top 22-17. That advantage reached 10 points at 27-17 until Terrier senior Justin Jones stopped the run with a pair of free throws.
Murray gave the Tigers another boost when he scored the final points of the half by making a baseline shot as he tumbled out of bounds because of a foul. That gave the Tigers a 37-27 lead at the break.
One factor that contributed to the halftime margin was THS forcing 13 Vandebilt turnovers.
However, Terrebonne had a tough time in the early stages of the third quarter, as the Tigers missed their first six field goal attempts. Meanwhile, a Voisin 3-pointer and a couple of Vandy free throws changed the score to 37-32.
When the Tigers answered by pushing their lead back to double digits, back-to-back 3-pointers by Voisin and Bobby Cox brought Vandy back within six points at 44-38.
Terrebonne would later silence Vandebilt's hopes for a comeback by putting eight of the first 10 points on the board in the final period.
The crowd had reason to get fired up when Jones drained a 3-pointer in the closing minutes of his final home game, but Terrebonne stayed comfortable by making 8-of-12 free throws down the stretch.
"Once we got down and we had to foul and try to force turnovers, the score got ugly," Vandebilt coach Scott Gauthreaux said. "It was a closer game than what the score showed. If we had converted on some more layups and open shots, then we don't have to press and we could have tried to play more of a halfcourt game."
Voisin was the high scorer for Vandebilt (15-17, 3-7) with 17 points followed by Cox's 16 points and Jones' 10.
Lewis and Turner had 13 and 10, respectively for Terrebonne

At the Races, In the Money
Apart from the beautiful horses, racing can be an ugly business, and because of the beautiful horses no sport is more heartbreaking. So be warned: HBO's addictive new drama, set at and around the Santa Anita racetrack near Los Angeles, is designed to pull you into this tortured world and hold you there until you see the light. It's hard to look away.
The cast is large and the show drops us into the stream of each character's life without much explanation. Go with the flow until it begins to make sense. It will.
One main story revolves around "Ace" Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman), a crime boss just out of prison; his chauffeur of many talents, Gus Demitriou (Dennis Farina); and the Irish-bred horse Ace has stabled at the track with trainer Turo Escalante (John Ortiz).
Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO
Ace is bent on revenge against former associates, and his plan includes an investment in the track. The rest is left murky, however, so that when Ace hires the young financial whiz Nathan Israel (Patrick J. Adams), we cannot anticipate the young man's real purpose in the story. Ditto the shy woman (Joan Allen) looking to start a center where prison inmates help rehabilitate sick or injured horses. Is that all she is?
The other central character in "Luck" is trainer-owner and breeder Walter Smith (Nick Nolte), who has poured all his hope and plenty of fear into a big, fast colt who is linked to Smith's clouded past. This is a great role for Mr. Nolte, who gets to put a different spin on a character he portrayed in the movie "Affliction" and show us a battered man whose soul and capacity for love, or at least kindness, are still intact.
But the glory of "Luck" is that almost everyone in it has dramatic appeal. Usually, this is because we can see into their hearts. Take the novice jockey Leon. Played by Tom Payne, he's a gentle innocent whose happiness only requires the opportunity to ride. Yet nature has given him a body that is bigger than it should be. The agony of his weight-loss running sessions in the California sun is so pitiable that it plays like tragedy.
On the upside is cheerful Rosie (Kerry Condon), an Irish workout rider who has a magical rapport with horses but is still struggling to get mounts as a race jockey. Her grace even in disappointment is more touching because her competition for a coveted job is Ronnie (real star jockey Gary Stevens), an alcoholic and drug-snorting former champ now trying to make a comeback.
Racing is still a man's world, and track veterinarian Jo (Jill Hennessy) must be strong to stay honest in a business where a lot of people will do anything for an edge. Her job also means delivering bad news, a constant reality in thoroughbred racing, about a horse's health. Jo is so tough, in fact, that when she does cry, we can hardly watch. And then there is jockeys-agent Joey, played to perfection by Richard Kind as a Pagliacci whose depression makes him seem pathetic but also sinister.
One of the series' most remarkable achievements comes with the four characters who function as racing's typical degenerate gamblers. Four men who live for the track, for the bet, and without hope of escape from the degrading boom and mostly bust nature of their addiction. At first, they appear in broad outline: the bitter and mean wheelchair-bound Marcus; the excitable and slow-witted Renzo; the ambitious and frustrated Lonnie; and the formerly handsome Jerry (Jason Gedrick), a masterful handicapper whose gambling addiction is terrible to behold.
As "Luck" progresses, however, this bedraggled gang, almost Shakespearean in its dramatic form and function, reveals a key to the entire series. The revelation begins when the men, watching a race, see an unfamiliar horse gallop to the finish with the strides and speed of a true champion. Such an animal is the miracle, the holy grail of the sport. All at once, the hard-core gamblers smile, their ravaged faces transformed by the joy of the moment. Watching a thing of beauty, able to appreciate its majesty, they themselves look beautiful.
There are many more moments of humanity discovered or restored in "Luck." The most bizarre incident involves a suicide attempt gone wrong that rekindles a lust for life in a person who barely seemed worth saving. In another instance, a man compelled to commit murder signals regret with a redemptive flicker of his eyes.
There is much in this series that is gorgeous, like the sight of steam rising from a horse's back while it is being soaped and washed after an early morning workout. There is a lot that is not pretty. After one scene of stunning violence, the possibility of more can't be forgotten.
Strong writing and acting ensure that we soon become so sensitive to the characters that we feel for them the way they feel for their horses. This is a predictably searing experience in a venue like racing, where big dreams must usually be followed by crushing disappointment. When Nick Nolte's character is watching his beloved colt run, Mr. Nolte's body rises and sinks with the rhythm of its hoofbeats, and we are moved by the sight but filled with worry.
Yet most everybody keeps going. They rise every morning and, as one gamblers says, "step up to the plate" in the hope that one day will be better than the last. That is what "Luck" is really about. When all is said and done, the series is an invitation to play the game of life.
Sorority Girls
Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on TLC
Take five perky and pink-clad sorority sisters from America (think "Legally Blonde"). Send them to England to recruit members of the first-ever sorority in the U.K. from among the denizens of a grimy industrial city and.... "Sorority Girls" is what reality television was made for. The setting helped guarantee a number of applicants with inelegant accents, heavy makeup and hard-drinking habits. Leeds is a site of the proverbial 19th-century dark, satanic mills of "Chariots of Fire" fame.
As rush interviews begin, the Americans can barely conceal their horror, for instance when a prospective new member of Sigma Gamma turns out to be a human pin cushion, with piercings on one hip, two nipples and various other parts. But they give other applicants high marks for trying: "Normally I'm not a fan of someone's bra showing," one American sister says. "But hers was cute and it did match her shirt."

Mark Griep and Marjorie Mikasen. ReAction! Chemistry in the Movies. New York: Oxford University Press, 2009. 340 pp. $49.95.
Mark Griep and Marjorie Mikasen have tried something new by presenting a scientific—not sociological—analysis of chemistry's role in films. They lay out twin theses in the introduction: namely that the movies can present either the light side or the dark side of chemistry and that there are five subdivisions of each. On the dark side the authors explore themes and archetypes like Jekyll and Hyde, chemical weapons, and addiction. The light side centers on inventors, forensics, drug discovery, and more. Under each of these headings Griep and Mikasen arbitrarily select a primary film to discuss in detail and then draw on one or more other films to support their arguments. Perhaps the most interesting portion of the book details the authors' attempts to "de-code" Robert Louis Stevenson's vaguely stated formula whereby the kindly Dr. Jekyll is transformed into the bestial Mr. Hyde. While none of us will ever know what Stevenson was actually imagining when he described that "blood-red liquor," Griep's and Mikasen's guesses are thought provoking. As to be expected in a book not written by film-studies professionals, there are some minor factual errors; but the science is sound, and this is a long-overdue salute to films that have used chemistry as more than a mere plot device.–Andrew Mangravite
Elizabeth Grossman. Chasing Molecules: Poisonous Products, Human Health, and the Promise of Green Chemistry. Washington, DC: Island Press, 2009. 249 pp. $26.95.
In her latest book Elizabeth Grossman takes us along for a ride in Chasing Molecules, as the molecules travel across wind and water to some of the most remote places on Earth. The book mimics a travel diary for synthetic chemicals, tracing their routes from point of creation, to integration in the products of everyday life, to their ultimate demise. Drawing on interviews and reviews of some of the latest scientific literature, Grossman details how these chemicals have become a part of us in very intimate ways. But by moving too quickly through this vast sea of information, Grossman gives only a glimpse of the surface instead of pausing to dig a little deeper and show how complicated things really are.–Jody A. Roberts

Hi everyone,
WooCommerce 2.0
I'm completely new to this and was wondering how to disable the reviews tab completely, as the reviews check box is enabled by default when adding a new product.
Hi everyone,
WooCommerce 2.0
I'm completely new to this and was wondering how to disable the reviews tab completely, as the reviews check box is enabled by default when adding a new product.
you can completely remove reviews by using this filter
file is:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'sb_woo_remove_reviews_tab', 98);
function sb_woo_remove_reviews_tab($tabs) {
return $tabs;
Thank you very much!
Thanks for this.
Although this option should probably be a toggle on/off option in the WooCommerce settings!
You can also use a plugin like: http://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments/ to disable comments. Reviews just use the comments feature for the product custom post type. So if you disable all comments, or just on the Products custom post type, it'll remove the tab on the product page as well.
Thank You Very much WeddingAlbumCafe
Hi WeddingAlbumCafe
I am a total amateur with this at present, so do you just copy and paste that?
@TheJunkieMonkey just use the plugin I mentioned: http://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments/ it makes it super easy.
Hi Tevya
Once downloaded How do I attach it to the site?
The easiest way is from inside the WP Admin. Plugins>Add New search for "disable comments".
Thanks Tevya - I love finding a clear, quick fix to a problem.
The Disable Comments plugin was exactly what I was looking for to turn off Reviews on a WooCommerce site.
No problem. We use it on most our sites, because we usually want to at least disable comments on pages and media. Nothing more annoying than getting spam on an image attachment page. Sometimes we also use it to disable on posts & WooCommerce products (or everything), as well.
In case you didn't know there is already a ON/OFF setting in the products/advance setting to turn off comments/reviews.
Yes, I think we were aware @splashing, but that's a per-product setting. Just like the per-post/page setting. This plugin (or the code provided above) does it for all of them. Without it, you'd have to change it manually for every product (or post, page, etc).
@splashingpixels.com - Yes, that's true, but as Tevya points out it's sometimes very desirable to be able to globally disable comments rather than having to set it granularly, especially if a number of posts, pages or products have been entered with comments/reviews enabled.
The other issue is that some themes will display a comments or reviews tab regardless of whether you have comments/reviews enabled on a per product basis, and globally disabling comments/reviews will make this tab disappear (on well designed themes). I personally dislike having a content tab that will never have any content in it, and disabling via CSS or in the template.php file is much less desirable than just turning off the feature globally.
@Tevya - not true...You can bulk edit products...
Yes, you can. And then you potentially have to go through many pages doing that repeatedly to get all products, PLUS you have to remember to do it on each new product (or tell your client to remember to it, if they're the one adding new products). Using a plugin or code to do it automatically is much simpler, faster, and takes human error out of the equation for all future products.
If you wan't to do it that way, that's great. That's your choice. I don't care. We choose the way that's simpler, faster, and less likely to have a mistake down the road. Not sure why you feel the need to come here and convince us the more complicated, slower, more error-prone way is better.
@Tevya - don't draw to your own conclusions. I am not asking you to use this method or that method. I am also not comparing which method is better. I am simply stating the fact it exists and it works.
Oh, okay. Thanks for clarifying. I guess repeatedly coming back to it, in a thread that's all about universally disabling it, made it seem (at least to me) that you're trying to push it as a solution where it's not the kind of solution being sought here. My apologies if my responses were less-than kind in any way. You're right, it is an option.
That worked great but I still have text on my product pages that says "No Rating" can this be removed also?
The add_filter code snippet worked a treat! Thanks
@Tevya, in the case of hundreds of products, one can set a custom number of products for display per page under the "screen options" tab at the top in order to do what @splashingpixels.com recommended. I personally like to limit the number of plugins being used if at all necessary.
"if at all possible" you meant, not "necessary."
Yes, that's an option too. However, depending on the amount of products (have one store I manage that has several thousand), it's still not practical. If you have it load to much WP and/or your browser can slow to a crawl or even crash. Keep it to a lesser amount, and you're still having to repleat the process over and over.
As I said above, it's certainly an option, and its a good option if you really want to avoid using a plugin and don't mind the extra work and remembering to turn off comments/reviews on every product. However, the simplest, easiest option, from an admin/sho- manager standpoint, is the plugin I recommended.
Thanks Tevya, I also wanted to disable product reviews, and this works for that, I just added the "disable comments plugin" and it is easy, fast and efficient. It is a better way that editing functions.php because in case of updates that falls flat.. anyway, thanks.
Thanks for the info :) helped greatly !

Dear Youth 4 Youth Project supporter,
We are pleased to share our first report on the transformational journey of 300 young Ukrainian orphans in becoming active, empowered and contributing citizens of society. So far, we have managed to reach over 10% of the funds needed. During November 2013 - January 2014, there was a first series of 40 training sessions held in 12 regions across Ukraine (all represented equally geographically), covering 243 young people between the ages of 14 to 18.
Training to develop leadership potential and life skills that young care leavers will need for their transition into independence has become the first phase of the three-stream interconnected project stages. The other two will be scheduled for later this year and will include peer-to-peer work using training course handouts, which nurture young people's new-found capacities and participation of 20 of the most active young leaders in the Youth Summit.
"Informal training of the young 15-16 year olds who spent their entire lives in the repressive system of orphanages is something that happens to many of them possibly for the first time in their lives", - says Valentyna, one of the youth trainers from Zhytomyr, a city in the north-west of Ukraine. "To imagine, that someone could talk to those children about their personalities, positive self-awareness, leadership, contribution to the community or empowerment is something far beyond their imagination." – she adds.
"I couldn't believe that most of the boys and girls in my group could not find any positive characteristics of themselves, resorting to some rather harsh descriptions as "freaks from the orphanages" – admits Olga, another youth facilitator. "This is where along with motivation and coaching, de-stigmatisation of youth in care comes in handy."
As for the young care-leavers themselves, these are just few of their reflections after the first phase of the training:
As you can see from the recent events on the streets of Kyiv, inspired youth aspire changes, when thousands of young people rise up striving for their democratic rights and liberties, freedom and democracy. Imagine, what would it be if, instead of fighting for their rights, young people get empowered with opportunities for education and employment? This Wednesday, February 12 2014 young Ukrainians can get a chance to become active and contributing citizens by getting equipped with leadership and professional skills through education, training and volunteer activities. Today GlobalGiving will provide a 30% match to donations made on-line beginning at 9:00 AM EST / 1:00 PM GMT until available matching funds are spent. Please help us spread the word to your friends, family and colleagues who would like to make the kind of difference that you have made by supporting Ukrainian unprivileged youth through education, training and volunteer activities. Your generosity will allow 300 Ukrainian orphans become empowered with an opportunity to serve as the agents of social change in their communities. Just go to http://goto.gg/15531.
Together we can create brighter futures!
With many thanks for your support,
Vasylyna Dybaylo
Partnership for Every Child Director & Project Leader

This year Simchas Torah comes out on Friday. It can also happen that Pesach or Shavuos finishes on Friday in Eretz Yisroel. Is there a Neilas HaChag if Yom Tov ends on Friday?

Here's how it works:

When Shabbos follows a Yom Tov, the kedusha (holiness) of the Yom Tov "extends" itself into the Shabbos. (Some don't sing Shabbos Zemiros because of this.) So, many make Neilas HaChag by Shalosh Seudos.
One should not eat a large meal on Friday close to Shabbos.
