Diamondbacks 4, Giants 3, 10 innings
PHOENIX (AP)—Chris Young's homer highlighted another dramatic win by the Diamondbacks. Yet a heads-up defensive play by pitcher Brandon Lyon meant just as much.
Young homered to left-center with one out in the 10th inning, lifting surging Arizona to its 10th win in 11 games and past the San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Tuesday night.
"I didn't even remember what the pitch was. That was my first time getting a walkoff," Young said. "I had been struggling tonight. A lot of coaches and guys were still behind my back, saying 'just keep grinding."'
Rich Aurilia hit a one-out double in the 10th off Lyon (4-2), who hustled to cover third when Mark Reynolds ran out to retrieve the ball on a single to left by Ray Durham that Eric Byrnes couldn't keep in his glove on a diving attempt. Lyon got Aurilia at third and Bengie Molina flied out to center to end the threat.
"Lyon makes a heck of a play. One, to be there. Two, to keep him off the base," manager Bob Melvin said. "To me, it looked like he never touched the base, he flipped over his shoulder and never got on third base."
Giants manager Bruce Bochy disagreed, and argued for several minutes with the umpires.
"It's amazing they got him out," Bochy said. "The ball kicked away. There was nobody at third for a while. It was a botched up play that came up great on their side."
Chase Field has become a tough spot this season for San Francisco, swept here in a three-game series back in April with three one-run defeats.
Young, who was 0-for-4 with a strikeout before his final at-bat, connected for his seventh homer of the year and first since May 11 against Kevin Correia (1-3)—another tough night for the Giants' reliever after he gave up Shane Victorino's walkoff homer Sunday at Philadelphia.
"If you're pitching in those types of situations, it's going to happen eventually," Correia said. "It doesn't usually happen twice in three days."
The D-backs rallied against a San Francisco lineup missing Barry Bonds after Tony Pena allowed Durham's tying double in the bottom of the eighth.
Randy Johnson struck out eight in six innings and was helped by Miguel Montero's tiebreaking homer, and Conor Jackson drove in two runs for Arizona.
Johnson was in position to win four straight starts for the first time since getting six victories in a row during May and June 2004 for Arizona. He even had his first hit of the year after an 0-for-12 start.
Batting in the Unit's spot in the sixth, Montero hit a drive deep into the right-field seats for his second career pinch-hit homer and second this year.
Johnson's third strikeout of Durham to end the fifth moved the five-time Cy Young Award winner past Roger Clemens and into second place on the all-time strikeout list with 4,605 behind Nolan Ryan's 5,714. Johnson walked off the mound after that inning to a roaring standing ovation, tipping his cap before ducking into the dugout. He came back out for a curtain call about a minute later and waved to the fans.
"Obviously, the first time I was here, we had that board out there, and they were showing some of the names I was passing," Johnson said. "They were pretty cool—a lot of the people I had met: Warren Spahn and (Sandy) Koufax and (Steve) Carlton. It's very flattering to be in that company."
Johnson allowed seven hits and walked one, his only free pass in the last four starts.
Bonds was held out of the lineup because of shin splints that have been bothering the slugger. Bonds' knees are aching, too.
Bochy considered using Bonds in the ninth to pinch hit, but instead went with Eliezer Alfonzo.
The Giants don't expect their cleanup hitter will go on the disabled list, which would disrupt his pursuit of Hank Aaron's home run record of 755. Bonds is 10 from breaking Hammerin' Hank's mark.
"Barry's legs are really sore right now. He has shin splints in both shins," said manager Bruce Bochy, who didn't rule out that Bonds could pinch hit. "He needs a day. He's going to get a day. We'll see how he is tomorrow. … I'm not overly concerned. Again, we're talking about a 42-year-old man. He's played a lot of baseball. We knew there were going to be times like this during the season."
It was an unfortunate development for fans eager to see the matchup of Bonds against Johnson, who has allowed three homers to Bonds in 49 at-bats.
Dan Ortmeier tied the game with a two-run homer with two outs in the fourth, the first longball given up by Johnson in five starts since May 4 against the New York Mets.
Matt Cain had a tough time through 5 1-3 innings, leaving after Byrnes' second single that followed Montero's one-out homer.
Johnson went 30 innings between homers. … Cain made his 50th start, joining Mike McCormick as the only other pitcher in San Francisco history to reach that mark before turning 23. … Cardinals QB Matt Leinart, receiver Anquan Boldin and coach Ken Whisenhunt took early batting practice and Leinart— the former Heisman Trophy winner at USC in 2004—hit three home runs. "I had a little more power than I thought," Leinart said.

Sony SMP-N100
The SMP-N100 is Sony's first dedicated IPTV and network media player. Once the exclusive province of relatively esoteric PC brands, this sector of the market is now being groomed by the big TV makers, which means a whole new tranche of telly-watchers are about to be seduced by the instant gratification offered by streaming TV. This can only be a good thing.
The SMP-N100 follows Sony's Monolithic Design aesthetic; all sharp edges and sensor lights. The front panel offers a USB input bottom right, for quick connection of USB drives, while the back has Ethernet, HDMI, digital audio optical output, Component video and phono AV outs. It's a surprisingly comprehensive set of connections, allowing easy integration with AV receivers as well as a TVs.
The unit's small dimensions (just 185 x 193 x 40mm) owe much to the fact that the 12v power supply has been ousted to a separate brick.
The supplied handset is much like you'd get with any of Sony's current BD players, and set-up is simplicity itself, particularly if you have access to a wired network point. There's a little more work required if you want to utilise the integrated Wi-Fi. Once online, the media player will automatically detect your network and any attached storage or media servers. It will also auto update its Bravia Internet Video (BIV) content.
If you own or have used any Sony AV product recently, the interface of the N100 will need no introduction. It uses the same XrossMediaBar UI. Indeed, what we have here is nothing less than the entire IPTV functionality of Sony's current Blu-ray players and Bravia TVs hived off into a standalone unit.
The SMP-N100's key attraction is access to Sony's Bravia Internet Video portal, which offers a wide choice of streaming entertainment, including catch-up services from BBC iPlayer and Demand 5, Sky News, Lovefilm, YouTube and Daily Motion. All can be found under the XMB's Video and Music columns.
Second string content comprises Eurosport, BlipTV, Howcast, Ustudio, Golflink, Livestrong, Singing Fool, podcasts, Videocast, Tagesschau, Deutsche Welle, Sony Entertainment Television and Ford Models.
These aren't channels in the linear TV sense, more bite-sized diversions and televisual oddities. The Sony Entertainment Television channel is largely a repository for ancient TV series and is updated less often than my blog, while Ford Models transpires not to be about automobiles, but is a health and beauty strand aimed at a female audience.
Overall we'd rate picture performance of the N100 as very good. YouTube material plays back with far less mosquito noise and blocking than you might expect, and the LoveFilm movie trailer service streams in with rich hues and scads of detail. Of course, dig around and you will find some pretty ropey SD material– but this isn't a reflection on the N100 itself.
The BIV also has dedicated music services in the form of the Pay-Per-View Berlin Philharmoniker Digital Concert Hall and the National Public Radio hub. Sony also offers access to Qriocity Music Unlimited, a new cloud-based music subscription service. When you have a Music Unlimited account, you can listen via any Qriocity enabled device (which at the moment includes Sony TVs, Blu-ray players and the PS3).
Qriocity sibling video outlet has a significant amount of Hollywood studio support, which means a wide range of VOD movie content is available to watch; SD movies are priced at £3.49 with high-def versions pegged at £4.49.
This is all well and good. Unfortunately, foibles in the Sony platform which can be forgiven when considered as part of a larger package, become much more glaring when forced to perform solo.
The fact is the SMP-N100 just doesn't offer the same level of file support as its rivals. Indeed, the N100's streaming compatibility is surprisingly limited. A motley collection of test files (with various suffixes covering MKV wrapped content, AVIs, DivX and so on) located on a networked NAS was largely ignored. The N100 could locate the folder but the only file support was for AVI, AVCHD/ M2TS.
When it comes to network audio streaming, compatibility is similarly limited to MP3s. The SMP-N100 only really comes into its own when reading from the front-mounted USB port. Here, our test file folder was given a much warmer reception. The player could read and unspool AVIs, complete with SRT subtitle support, MOVs and MKVs.
Similarly, music support broadens to include AAC, WMA and WAV.
As a straight (non IPTV) media streaming device the SMP-N100 falls short. An inability to play popular formats over a network make the N100 a runner-up in a streaming race currently dominated by devices like the WD TV Live
However, for those that do not own (nor plan on buying) a Sony TV, Sony Blu-ray player or PS3, this smart-looking media player could prove highly attractive. Its AV performance is solid, the interface easy to navigate and there's some great content on tap. The SMP-N100 may also be ideal if you're a Sony fan looking to extend the reach of the brand's IPTV walled-garden to a bedroom or den.

I have recently bump into a rather annoying issue and one I am unable to resolve. I have removed all plugins, switched to Twenty Eleven to see if this was theme related and still the issue persists.
The problem is that I am unable to reproduce it on new WordPress installations and also find the trigger or cause of the issue.
Basically, when I add certain types of HTML, the code is being stripped and therefore isn't working.
An example of this can be see below:
I add this to a page:

 icon-camera-retro
When I then view the page and view the code in source, it appears like this:

 icon-camera-retro
No plugins active
No custom code
It happens on twenty eleven, so not theme related
I have visual editor disabled
I have "WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically" unchecked.
Can anyone assist please.

Post course
ADBI, together with the Asia-Pacific Finance and Development Center (AFDC) and the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC), organized a three-day policy dialogue session of the Asia-Pacific Forum on Financial Inclusion, "Approaches, Regulations, and Cross-Borders Issues," which was held in Shanghai, the People's Republic of China (PRC), from 25–27 June 2012. This forum brought together more than 80 participants from 25 countries, who collaborated with the Banking With The Poor Network (BWTP), the China Association of Microfinance (CAM), the Citi Foundation, and The Foundation for Development Cooperation (FDC). The event included a one-day field visit to Micro Finance Institutions (MFI) members of the China Association of Microfinance Shanghai.
The forum was made up of five sessions: (i) approaches to promoting financial literacy, (ii) financial identity, (iii) micro-finance regulation, (iv) consumer protection, and (v) facilitating cross-border micro finance. In addition, two guest speakers discussed approaches to promoting financial literacy and financial inclusion in the PRC's strategy.
The first session dealt with approaches to promoting financial literacy of children and youth. The idea behind this is that greater financial access combined with financial education leads to improved financial capabilities and quality of life which would create financially responsible citizens for the future. Combining this approach to financial education with improved financial access may in turn build financial capability. Support of financial institutions may result in the development of appropriate financial products, while financial education may create full financial inclusion, i.e., complete access for individuals to appropriate financial products and services. This implies people would have the skills, knowledge, and understanding to make the best use of such products and services. Finally, initiating coordination among multi-stake holders—central banks, financial supervisory authorities, education bodies and authorities, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs)—is an important function of government as a regulator.
Financial identity was discussed in session two. Alternative data can be used to establish the financial identity and financial history of individuals. Alternative data is non-financial information that also helps assess reputation. Many forms of post payments, remittance payments, store value cards, prepayments for cell phones, and education expenses are examples of alternative data or non-traditional data. Shared information is key to establishing identity. From the point of view of credit reporting, stronger legal rights and better credit information ease access to credit. It may comply with the general principles on credit reporting as a regulation and oversight process from data collection, security and efficiency measures, government and risk management, legal and regulatory framework and cross-borders data flows. The Cambodian microfinance association and Thailand's experience of micro finance provided two country presentations explaining several financial access achievements and giving some pointers about how to make further progress could be achieved.
The third session explained microfinance regulation. Microfinance is about providing the poor with access to a full range of services (credit, saving, transfer, insurance) through a diversity of financial institutions. Financial inclusion is broader and includes small and medium enterprises (SME) financing. A variety of institutions are involved in microfinance, including NGOs, finance companies, financial cooperatives, specialized microfinance institutions, commercial banks, saving banks, rural banks, policy banks, retail agents, and mobile networks. Microfinance has two types of regulations—prudential and non-prudential regulation. These regulations focus on financial solvency (prudential, including consumer protection, national strategy, and regulations governing financial crimes) regardless of financial health (non-prudential). Proportionate regulation was also discussed in this session. Proportionate regulation should support financial inclusion/inclusive growth while maintaining financial system stability. Proportionate regulation focuses also on alternative forms of finance including venture capital, managed funds, and leasing products. Branchless banking may overcome some of the obstacles currently limiting access to financial services such as long distances and low population density, high bank costs, low financial education, and poor product/channel design. Case studies on micro credit and country presentations from regulators in Bangladesh and Mongolia closed the third session, which also discussed the role of government in promoting financial inclusion and the future agenda.
Consumer protection issues in financial inclusion were discussed in the fourth session. Consumer protection regulation and supervision is one of three pillars of responsible finance. The other two pillars are standards and codes of conduct for the industry, and financial education and capability. The main function of regulators is to prioritize and gradually build up consumer protection, monitor the market, and work with industry to find workable solutions for how to protect consumers. Some country experiences with consumer protection in the Latin America region were presented in this session. In Pakistan, the consumer protection body created four pillars—dissemination, standardization, monitoring, and grievance redress. The government of Pakistan through the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) launched three strategies regarding consumer protection regulation, industry codes and standards, and consumer awareness and financial capability. The experience of Lao PDR provided some examples of consumer protection including the setting up of a Depositor Protection Funding scheme, regulation for commercial banks, and a charter of Depositors Protection Fund (DPF).
Session V dealt with facilitating cross-border microfinance. The session started with a country presentation providing an overview of financial inclusiveness in Indonesia. Regulations governing remittances from Indonesia to other countries or vice versa can only be conducted in the form of non-cash transfers. The remittance/fund transfer has to comply with current regulation, the law, and Central Bank regulation. In today's globalized world, remittances may be conducted through financial inclusion functions using financial options provisions including saving, microcredit, insurance, housing, agricultural loans, education, and financial democracy. The following general principles should guide international remittances: (i) the market should be transparent and have adequate consumer protection, (ii) the payment system infrastructure should be improved, (iii) remittance services should comply with the legal and regulatory framework, (iv) the market should be competitive, and (iv) the market should be supported by appropriate governance and risk management structures. Other issues discussed in this session were cross-border data flows and mobile money services. General principles on cross- border data flows are needed due to social and economic circumstances, globalization, border issues, and cooperation between neighbors.
The forum was closed with an exposure visit to four Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) in Shanghai and a Huangpu River cruise dinner.Stay up to date Subscribe to our newsletter and get the latest issues, news, events, jobs and data in your e-mail inbox.

Congressman Says Voter Suppression Isn't A Problem Because He Personally Never Had Trouble Voting
CREDIT: AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite
DAYTONA BEACH, FL — A member of Congress is not your average voter. But in order to make a point about how Florida's voter ID laws are not a burden, Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) cited his own experience at the polls.
"I've always done photo ID when I voted and never had a problem with it," DeSantis told the audience at a town hall Tuesday in Daytona Beach.
Watch it:
In response to another question at the event, the freshman Republican said it is condescending to argue that not all voters necessarily have the photo ID requirements easily accessible. "Sometimes when I hear that will be a burden I think that's not thinking very much of our fellow citizenship," he said. "I believe all of these folks have the competence to go get an ID and I think all of them do right now."
DeSantis is fortunate that he has never run into the obstacles that young, low-income, and elderly voters face in states that require them to present a limited selection of photo IDs. Many have been denied ID or required to overcome administrative obstacles that impose particular burdens on those who work hourly wage jobs or have limited access to transportation. Others have been forced to vote via provisional ballot when the name or address did not exactly match that on their registration. In Florida, voter ID was one of a barrage of voter suppression measures in place during the 2012 presidential election. Others included halving the number of early voting days, purging voters, and adding lengthy and frivolous amendments to lengthy ballots, all of which contributed to marathon waits of more than six hours at the polls on election day. Nationwide, blacks and Hispanics waited twice as long vote on election day in 2012.

The Variable-Speed Pump Trend
As clichés go, "going green" is a good one. But, let's face it, within consumer markets, the environmentally-friendly frenzy is often overstated. Many so-called green products are often overpriced and/or ineffective. It's no wonder we've become jaded by the green movement. But, escalating energy costs and social awareness are forcing us all to be more responsible. There are an estimated 1.2 million home swimming pools in Canada and more than 5 million in-ground residential pools in the U.S. (Beyond that, more than 60,000 new pools are built annually in the U.S. alone.) According to a 2008 report by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), pools in the US generate as much as $1.6 billion in energy costs per year. Pools, as a rule, can be expensive to operate. Luckily, pool owners can look to pool equipment manufacturers to help them reduce their costs and lower their carbon footprint. Pool pumps represent one of the most significant users of energy in pool owners' homes. In fact, they are the often the second biggest contributor to energy costs, lagging only behind their heating and cooling costs — for the entire home. Single speed pumps, which tend to waste more energy because they are always (and unnecessarily) running at top speed, have traditionally been the big energy users. With the advent of variable speed pumps (VSPs), however, the movement is shifting. Pool equipment manufacturers are striving to design and manufacture hard-working, efficient products that will allow pools owners to run their pools efficiently. That means: environmentally-compliant equipment, with proven performance, built to last, that also dramatically lower operating costs. It is generally agreed that the greatest potential for pool owners to save on operating costs is to switch their single-speed pumps to a two-speed or — better yet — a variable-speed pump. The Multiple Movement Multiple speed pumps are by far the fastest growing segment within the pool product market. The Multiple Movement is definitely catching on. There are a number of drivers including, but not limited to: Education/Communication; Legislation; Monetary Motivation; Technology Trends. Education/Communication Media has played a big part in the increasing popularity of VSPs. When they first were introduced, five or six years ago, the media helped educate the market on the the potential energy and cost saving benefits of VSPs. Word of mouth was another strong factor in driving the VSP trend. Pool owners touted the energy and cost savings, which continued the momentum. Of course, the only thing that fuels a trend faster than word of mouth is social media. The popularity of variable speed pumps was given a huge boost by online media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more. One of the biggest advocates for the energy saving features of VSPs is ENERGY STAR. This is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency voluntary program designed to help businesses and individuals throughout North America save money and protect our climate through superior energy efficiency.Recognizing that a key component of swimming pools' energy consumption is the pool pump —

Posted on 05/13/2002 3:10:36 AM PDT by kattracks
(CNSNews.com) - A St. Louis, Mo. mom is suing the public high school that blocked her from observing a school-sponsored assembly conducted by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).
Debra Loveless had told school officials she considered the event inappropriate, but was trying to view it herself on Oct. 24, 2001 when she was escorted out of the assembly, according to Loveless' attorneys, who have filed the federal civil rights lawsuit in U.S. District Court in St. Louis. Loveless' daughter attends Metro High School.
GLSEN bills itself as the country's largest network of parents, students and educators aimed at preventing "discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender/identity expression in K-12 schools," according to its website.
GLSEN did not return phone calls to CNSNews.com.
The group conducted two assemblies at Metro High School, Oct. 17 and Oct. 24 of last year, both of which Loveless' daughter was exempted from attending because of the family's religious beliefs, according to the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), the public interest law firm representing Loveless.
However, when, at the urging of a school board member, Loveless attempted to attend the Oct. 24 event, she was ejected by an armed security guard, the ACLJ stated.
Francis J. Manion, senior counsel for the ACLJ, said parents should be able to participate in activities at a public school to see if it is appropriate for their children.
"This case is about protecting the rights of parents to participate fully in the education of their children," he said. "Parents do not abandon their rights as parents once their children go to school. Parents have a right to know what a school is teaching their children, and should not be punished for exercising their parental responsibilities. That's exactly what happened in this case."
The ACLJ lawsuit contends that school officials deprived Loveless of her parental right to be fully informed of the content of her daughter's education. The suit also claims Loveless' constitutional rights of free speech and equal protection was infringed.
Manion believes there were ulterior motives to blocking Loveless from attending the assembly.
"The real reason we believe our client was not permitted to observe the school assembly is because the school did not like her religious objections to the assembly," said Manion. "The only thing our client wanted was an apology and a change in the school policy governing the rights of parents to observe school assemblies.
"After Mrs. Loveless was ejected from the assembly, she had no choice but to file suit - to ensure that no other parent in St. Louis is treated in the same manner," he added.
The lawsuit names as defendants the superintendent of St. Louis Public Schools and the principal of Metro High School.
CNSNews.com attempted to contact Metro High School Principal Dr. Pamela Randall, but she was away from the campus and unavailable for comment. The Metro High School Instructional Coordinator refused comment Friday, saying she was unaware of any lawsuit.

awwwww Cmon that cant be her real name
There is NO GOOD REASON for ANY school lesson or assembly not being open to parental and public scrutiny; both the parents and general public MUST know what is being taight to America's youth.
Gee, wonder what GLSEN could be teaching kids that they would want to conceal behind closed doors?
For all the warm, fuzzy FReepers out there -- who always reply that they "don't care what homos do in the privacy of their own bedroom" -- look. It's out of the bedroom!

With the existance of small camcorders and the Net, I'm sure a student who decides to go in "wired" could provide some interesting footage
We've got some common ground there.
Yet, this isn't a new development, except as regards direct homosexual activism. Thomas Sowell's marvelous book Inside American Education reports mercilessly on instances of school systems charging teachers not to allow students to take classroom materials or class notebooks home to show to their parents. Usually, those materials were used in "values clarification" courses -- courses in which the school tries to thwart the vertical transmission of values and standards from parents to children.
Often, when parents have gotten hold of the materials from such courses and presentations, the resulting outcry has overturned an entire school board and the whole administrative hierarchy of the school. Scant wonder that those who push these non-academic programs don't want the word to get around.

She is a taxpayer isn't she? She has as much of a stake in what the schools are teaching as anyone.
Mmmmm... no. Nothing in there about being a taxpayer -- just being the mother of a student...
The ACLJ lawsuit contends that school officials deprived Loveless of her parental right to be fully informed of the content of her daughter's education.
... who's educational content did not include these assemblies.
Curioser and curioser.
Nothing in the article about the mother being alive either.
But I would risk a wild guess that most non-deviant readers (correctly) assume that the mother is alive.
She may also like to see what the "powers that be" think is an appropiate assembly for the kids to see. Considering they are deciding what the children learn, she may like to know about their judgement, and what is so important to take time away from learning something valuable.
Would you say the same about a parent who wants to visit a daycare where their child attends, however, isn't present on said visitation day? What if a parent was kicked out of that institution? This taxpaying Mom had every right to be there and see first hand what is going on.
BTW don't say if she is a stay at home Mom she doesn't pay any taxes. My husband pays enough for five people so i can stay home.
GLSEN bills itself as the country's largest network of parents, students and educators aimed at preventing "discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender/identity expression in K-12 schools," according to its website.
Preventing discrimination is not their goal
THIS IS!.....John Dunphy in The Humanist 1983 said The battle for man-kinds future must be won in the classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as proselytizers of a new faith that will replace Christianity
I spoke with the person who was organizing the event and she refused to tell me what would be discussed behind closed and locked doors. Once she figured out I wasn't exactly on her side of the issue, she started talking about how students with religious beliefs are the real threat and how the spreading of religion/religious principles resulted in dead homosexuals. They have plenty to hide. They are a hate group every bit as hateful as the KKK, Hamas or the Neo-Nazis and they are targeting our children behind our backs.
Gee, that certainly sounds safe and appropriate. < /sarcasm>
Look what the Homosexuals have done for the Catholic Church which has survived for 2000 years,'Til the Homosexuals took over.
Any taxpayer who chooses to monitor an assembly in a public school has the right to do so.
Taxpayers pay for the schools.
Thanks for the welcome. And you're right, most revolutionaries go after kids to support them. Palestinian religious leaders look for kids to be their suicide bombers, rebels in West Africa look for kids to be their soldiers, communist revolutionaries in South America went for the kids first (and were often led by older kids from universities). Part of the problem, I think, is that kids are easily swayed by ideology, given their strong (and generally good) want to fix the problems of the world. It is only when they are older and wiser that they realize that most of the problems of the world are complex and multi-faceted and difficult to resolve. I've talked to a number of teenagers who are for promoting any kind of sex a person wants (including with animals). This is part of their compassion. But little do they think of the longer term consequences for those who engage in such deeds, and the longer term consequences for society as a whole. Part of the problem there is that kids are not taught to think much. And finally, very few kids today believe in right and wrong. Their parents do not inclucate that kind of thinking, and the churches have lost them.
That pretty much sums it up. Stay safe.
Maybe to find out how her tax dollars are being spent?
Yeah she is real, saw an interview with her on the news other night, very well dressed, african american mom who made several eloquent statements about her beliefs and what she went through to try and get the school to let her attend.
They also talked to the school board member who INVITED her to attend the assembly and she was livid!
I would almost bet that the school restricts visitations for all taxpayers. In fact, I'd even go so far as to bet that most, if not all, public-schools place restrictions on visitations by "taxpayers".
So... try again.
Her daughter was not in the assembly and was suffering no consequences for not attending.
So why did she feel any special right to be there? Were other taxpayers allowed to attend? Were other student-less parents there?
My guess is that GLSEN was afraid to be exposed.
They have the power of propaganda from the Biased Left Wing Media! Dan Rather and his ilk have done more harm to decent Americans than any other terrorist organization.
As two fairly average parents today, we have had to confront the following in the past few years: 1) a homosexual rapist as the previous pastor of our son's Catholic school church, 2) a refusal of our Board of Education to prohibit the introduction of homosexual sex into the curriculum (You know, anal sex and all that.), as well as widespread drug sales in our suburban schools, 3) absolute trash and filth during all hours on our TV, 4) out-of-the-universe extreme pornography being sent to our computers in E-mails, 5) pornography being downloaded (and left around) at our town library, 6) attacks on our Cub Scout pack and Boy Scout troop for not having homosexual scoutmasters, 7) alcohol parties being HOSTED by parents in our neighborhood for the benefit of their kids, 8) oral sex becoming commonplace in our MIDDLE SCHOOL, 9) the Catholic Church homosexual molestation issue in general, 10) a friend whose little girl was molested by a school teacher, 11) a boy who was brutally sodomized and murdered at the carnival in the next town. We feel besieged. We just want our kids to grow up with their innocence intact beyond the age of 7, to be comfortable with our religious convictions (we don't force them on anyone else), and for them to be safe. We are losing on all three counts, despite our sincere effots.
Perhaps the whole point of this article is to point out that government schools have a policy of closed doors to taxpayers and to parents. READ THE ARTICLE. I am sad that our country has even produced someone like you who does not have a problem with this.
I do not think our founding fathers meant that the strong and brave have to fight for the rights of the sheep.
Perhaps they did, because without people like us to understand the political agenda of the socialists and to fight against it in arena like this, people like you would sell all of your rights to the highest bidder. Then again.. I don't uderstand why you deserve any.
You win by speaking out! All is not lost. Let people know how you feel.
Maybe she wanted to see if the assembly was appriopriate enough for her daughter to attend? Or maybe she was concerned for other children? Why those homosexual activists can be given access to other children than their own but this woman cannot even observe it?
Examples of GLSEN endorsed filth here
Homosexual Agenda Bump
I'd agree with that, though I suspect we'll disagree over acceptable "reasons". And, of course, this is also ignoring that her complaint is not about her rights as a taxpayer.
If student attendance was mandatory or if there was any consequences for the student NOT attending, I would agree that she, as a parent, had the reason and right to check out what was being presented.
It was not. She did not give permission for her daughter to attend, and her daughter did not attend. She therefore had no more reason or right to attend than any other person.
Schools should not have to accomodate every John or Jane Doe who walks in off the street with "I'm a taxpayer; show me what I've bought." It's not safe. Public schools can't even protect students from a kindergartener with a pointed-finger gun, and you want them to allow just anyone in on the basis of a tax return?

|Reach the incredible speed of 800 m/h
This achievement requires that you reach a speed of 800 m/h. There is no way top tell how close you are really getting to this threshold. Some levels have objectives to reach certain speeds and they display a speedometer. However, once you reach the threshold (the largest is 650 m/h), the level will be complete. Normally there is no way to tell. After fully upgrading your jetpack and bat, this achievement should come without even trying, especially towards the end of the game when there are large planets with strong gravitational pull. Basically you just need to launch yourself past a huge planet until the gravity slows you to a stop, then you will quickly be accelerating back towards that planet. At this time use your jetpack full blast and narrowly dodge the planet on your return. This is somewhat like a slingshot and will really get you moving.

I reinstalled my PC and lost the credentials to a remote server. The remote username and password that I have don't work anymore.
What I have is a recovery console via VNC where I can login into a minimalistic XP and view the share where the Windows Server 2008 Web Edition is installed, but just view the files I can not ... actually login into the 2008 R2 web edition OS.
How can I VIEW or CHANGE the user name password so I can login via remote desktop?
I do have the WHOLE

SEEL ALSO: Humane agents powerless to help animals in extreme cold
Animal Charity Human Society is urging pet and animal owners to bring all their animals indoors, even if they are primarily outside pets.
Animals are at risk in the region's current frigid weather and will continue to be over the coming days.
The agency is distributing free hay to keep dogs warm in outdoor shelters. Workers will also be doing wellness checks to ensure the safety of pets that are stuck outside.
Owners are reminded that all animals must have shelter as well as food and (unfrozen) water available at all times. Animals found without any of those can subject the owners to prosecution.
Although animal coats appears warm, it's not enough to protect them when the temperatures dip to the frigid lows forecast over the next few days.
"If it's cold for you, it's cold for them," said Diane Less, co-founder of Angels for Animals, an animal shelter and adoption center in Beaver Township.
Bringing pets indoors during cold weather provides the best protection.
If that isn't an option, an insulated shelter with hay or straw for bedding can help shield pets from the cold.
A dog house with just plastic covering the door will keep the wind and snow off of the animal, but it won't guard against the cold.
To provide that insulation, Less says furniture pads wrapped around the dog house and then wrapped with a tarp can offer that extra layer of warmth.
The shelter for the pet should be small to enable the animal to retain its body heat inside, she said.
"What's great for cats is those disposable Styrofoam coolers like Omaha Steaks come in," Less said.
Hay or straw should be used for bedding, not a blanket.
"If it gets wet, water goes through the hay or straw," she said. "A blanket freezes and just becomes a block of ice."
A dog or cat can also burrow into straw for warmth, Less said.
Pretty sure HAY is not recommended. STRAW is what is needed. And regardless of what is the law or not....if we get sub-zero (and especialy the windchills of possibly -35) YOUR OUTSIDE ANIMALS WILL NOT SURVIVE. PERIOD.
Youre nothing better than an abuser if you leave your pet out in this kind of weather. I don't care if it's against the piss poor Ohio humane laws or not, it's bad enough you got a dog just to leave it alone outside but to do it in this weather is rolling the dice with it's very life. Even if it doesn't die it will still suffer. If you're okay with that, you don't deserve a pet.
sillylilly - who the HELL cares what the law says?!?!?! These are near zero and sub-zero temps we're about to get. Anyone with an ounce of brains conscience WILL bring their pets inside. If they do not, they're no different than these sick animal abusers.
Ytown4Life, I agree with every word you said.
Quite simple stand outside with your dog. When you get cold they are probably getting cold. Then you both come inside. Or in my case all four of us come inside.
Law is clear they need shelter.

Local Author Andrea Warren Presents Under Siege!, A New Civil War Book For Young Adults
For Immediate Release:
April 21, 2009
April 21, 2009
Contact: Lorenzo Butler
Local Author Andrea Warren Presents Under Siege!, A New Civil War Book For Young Adults
On Friday, May 1, at 7 p.m. at the Plaza Branch, 4801 Main St., local author Andrea Warren presents her recently released nonfiction book for young adults Under Siege! Three Children at the Civil War Battle for Vicksburg.
Warren's period piece, described as "a unique perspective on a pivotal Civil War campaign," follows the 1863 siege of Vicksburg through the eyes of three young people from December 1862 through the aftermath of the surrender on July 4, 1863. The narrative uses the points of view of 10-year-old Lucy McRae, the daughter of a successful Vicksburg businessman, as well as 11-year-old Willie Lord, the son of a Vicksburg minister, and Fred Grant, the 12-year-old son of General Ulysses S. Grant.
Those interested in military campaigns will find young Grant's observations of battlefields as well as his father's command center fascinating, while others will be intrigued by the stories of families living in dug-out caves and eventually facing starvation while cannonballs and artillery shells rained down.
Warren's writing has earned her several awards including the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, the American Library Association Notable Book Award, and Booklist: Top 10 Biographies for 2001 for her book We Rode the Orphan Trains.
Admission is free. Call 816.701.3407 to indicate your interest in attending or you may RSVP online. Warren's books will be sold courtesy of Reading Reptile Bookstore and the author will sign copies following the presentation.

I've noticed a problem with the automatic build of sitemaps:
- whenever I publish a new post on my site the existing sitemap files (both xml and xml.gz) get deleted.
I've done the following to test:
- stopped publishing
- deactivated the rest of the plugins that might have interefered (W3TC)
- manually built the sitemap (Success) and checked the root to see if the files were created (Success)
- published a new article (success)
- checked the root again for the sitemaps - Files were GONE.
These operations took less than 3 minutes, so the error is there. I've checked the debug option in the plugin and the only error I get is this one:
Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in /home/[domain]/public_html/wp-content/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/sitemap-ui.php on line 124
Despite that, the sitemaps get built when the manual process is used.
Any help/advice is really appreciated!!

SARC to reopen
SEQUIM –– The aquatic center at Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center was scheduled to reopen at 5:30 a.m. today [Wednesday] after a small fire forced the pool to remain closed for all of Tuesday.
The Monday afternoon fire was started by a malfunctioning wall fan that circulates air into the pool area.
SARC Executive Director Scott Deschenes said staff used the closure to deep clean the pool decks and hot tub.
In an email sent to SARC members Tuesday afternoon, Deschenes said the fan is part of a number of pieces of aging equipment in the 26-year-old facility.
"Unfortunately, some of our equipment is reaching the end of its life and/or needs to be replaced," Deschenes said.
"Staff will continue to work to extend the life of the equipment."
Though SARC is part of a public recreation district, it does not collect a tax levy for its operations.
Eight firefighters responded to Monday's fire in an engine and a ladder truck, but SARC workers had put out the fire with a fire extinguisher.
The blaze scorched a small section of wall near the water slide.
The facility was evacuated after fire alarms went off, but people were allowed to re-enter after less than 15 minutes.

A credit check will be performed by the Department of Education.

You will be notified by the Department of Education if you need to complete additional Direct Grad PLUS loan counseling. If required, the loan will not be disbursed until this is complete.
Federal Perkins Student loan
Maximum of $8,000 per year graduate/professional. Parental information is required. Students are not charged interest while in school. Need analysis (FAFSA) is required. The interest rate is fixed at 5 percent. Limited funds available to students with exceptional financial need.
The Perkins loan program ended on September 30, 2015. Some current Perkins borrowers may meet eligibility requirements for Perkins funding through grandfathering.
To be grandfathered, the student must:
- Have received at least one Perkins Loan disbursement before June 30, 2015;
- Be enrolled at the same school where the last Perkins Loan disbursement which made the student a grandfathered borrower (e.g., 2014-2105 award year or earlier) was received;
- Be enrolled in the same academic program for which the student received his or her last Perkins Loan disbursement which made the student a grandfathered borrower (e.g., 2014-2015 award year or earlier); and
- Have been awarded all Direct Subsidized Loan aid for which the student is eligible for the award year.
First time DMU Perkins Loan recipients, in the 2015-2016 academic year do not meet grandfathering requirements and will not be eligible to receive additional Perkins loans.
A student who does not qualify for grandfathering, but who received a first disbursement of a Perkins Loan after June 30, 2015 and before October 1, 2015 for the 2015-2016 award year, may receive any remaining disbursements of that 2015-2016 award year loan, but is not eligible for disbursements after that.
A student who does not qualify for grandfathering and does not qualify for a subsequent disbursement of a 2015-2016 Perkins Loan may not receive Perkins Loans after September 30, 2015.
Federal Super Primary Care loan
Obtained by applying through the University. Available only to fourth-year D.O. students who agree to complete a primary-care residency and practice in primary care until the loan is paid in full. This is a federal government loan that is based on exceptional financial need. The interest rate is fixed at 5 percent and interest does not accrue during school or residency. The loan amount is up to $100,000 and loan proceeds are used to pay off prior years DMU medical school loans. All fourth-year D.O. students are notified in the fall of loan requirements, application procedures, and deadline information if funds are available. Limited funds.
Residency and relocation loans
Available to students in their final year of study. These alternative/private loans are designed to provide students with additional funds to help offset the expenses associated with travel and relocation costs for interviews, etc. These loans require a credit check and do not require the financial aid office to certify the application, so they do not count toward your student expense budget. Before you utilize one of these programs, please verify that you have exhausted eligibility in other financial aid programs with the financial aid office.
Refund advance
Des Moines University has a refund advance available to any student who faces a short-term financial crisis. Refund advances given out by the accounting office will be deducted from that student's next scheduled disbursement. Some restrictions may apply. Check with the accounting office for details.

BooksAMA is a reddit for "Ask Me Anything" threads about books. If that idea sounds weird to you, check out the submission that started it all.
Finish the book. BookAMAs are for books that you've read, not books that you're reading.
Search for the title of your book. Repeating books is allowed, but if you're repeating a book that's been done recently, join that conversation instead.
Mark books [f] for fiction, or [nf] for non-fiction.
Top-level posters are expected to check in at least several times over the first eight hours after creating an AMA, and ideally several more times over the next 24 to 48 hours. "Abandoned" AMAs (where the OP doesn't answers any questions) will be deleted. Be advised that only when a reasonable amount of time has gone by, usually a day, in which the OP doesn't answer any questions (or only one out of many) may the post be deleted. If there are special circumstances where you can't for a period of time, please message the mods and we'd be glad to not delete it.
Assume spoilers Readers should beware that the discussion will most likely deal with important plot points. If you plan on reading the book, you may want to hold off on reading the AMA.
Have the book handy. You might want to refer back to the text.
If you've also read the book, it's your AMA, too. BookAMA is ultimately just another way of managing book discussion, so the more people who've read a given book, the better. Jump in and give your opinion.

IJFR The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty (self.BooksAMA)
submitted 2 years ago by audioeric
Overall I think the book was well paced with some twists and turns.. Had hints of a whodunit mixed with some suspense. I initially found the cast of characters a little hard to follow as the book opens on one set, then starts on another, then starts on another, and finally starts to bounce between them before starting to integrate them together. I get the idea behind fleshing out characters and then fusing them together later on, but it maybe could have used more character history to let you get fully invested in a character before switching completely...

Have you read her other books? I loved The Hypnotist's Love Story, but I've been meh about checking out this one. Would you say it's worth it?
[–]audioeric[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I have not read it, but it's my next one to read as I've heard it's good. The story its self is pretty good with the usual twists and turns and interesting social questions.. It was an easy read, so I'd suggest checking it out, especially if you already enjoy her writing style.

man, a lot of amazing stuff coming out lately.
im not gonna get a job anywhere
This is a great commercial. Very well executed and plenty of insight.
A shitload of creativity put in here! Very well directed. My only doubt is the cast & VO (if it's an inner voice). They don't match for me (too young). But besides that minor detail, rock on!
Rock on!
What a copywriting, what an imagination, what a great sense of humour.
I just ADORE such types of ads. Really – kudos for this!
Very inspirational.

|HEC approves list of exclusions to foreign investment
February 11, 2001
The Higher Economic Council (HEC) met today under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the National Guard Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, and passed the following resolutions:
A) In implementation of cabinet resolution 257 dated February 5, 2001, stipulating that the Higher Economic Council assume the responsibility of supervising the privatization program and following up its implementation, HEC resolved to form a committee of some of its members plus two members of the consultative commission for economic affairs to carry out the works and tasks necessary for the performance of its responsibilities and the exercise of its jurisdiction concerning privatization. The committee will be chaired by Minister of State and cabinet member Dr. Muhammad bin Abdulaziz Al-Ashaikh, with as members the Ministers of Commerce, of Finance and National Economy, and of Planning, plus Minister of State and cabinet member Dr. Metlab bin Abdullah Al-Nafisa, Dr. Khalid bin Muhammad Al-Faiz and Mr. Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Adwan.
B) The council took note of the controls governing the participation of the private sector in implementing governmental projects according to the system of build, operate and transfer (BOT) and directed that these rules be included in the privatization strategy.
C) The council approved the list, submitted by the Governor of the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA), of categories of activities excluded from foreign investment according to the stipulations in Article (3) of the foreign investment regulations issued by royal decree dated April 11, 2000. The issuance of this list reflects the government's efforts aimed at developing the national economy, providing productive job opportunities, diversifying the economic base, developing investment channels and increasing investment of both domestic and foreign capital in the nation's economy. HEC made the following specific decisions:
i) Without prejudice to the stipulations in Article (2) of the foreign investment regulations, the categories of activities that are excluded from foreign investment shall be approved as listed.
ii) This list shall be revised annually with the aim of opening up some sectors for investment when their own regulations are issued.
D) The categories of activities excluded from foreign investment cover the following areas:

AES E-Library
Measuring Transient Structure-Borne Sound in Musical Instruments - Proposal and First Results from a Laser Intensity Measurement Setup
The proposal for this new measurement setup is motivated by curiosity in transients propagating across arched tops of violins. Understanding the impact of edge construction on transient wave reflection back to the top of a violin or on conduction into the rib requires single-shot recordings possibly without statistical processing. Signal-to-noise ratio should be high although mechanical amplitudes at distinct locations on the structure surface are in the range of a few micrometers only. In the proposed setup, the intensity of a laser beam is directly measured after passing a screen attached to the device under test. The signal-to-noise ratio achieved for one micrometer transients in single-shot recordings is significantly more than 60 dB.
