The site is displaying ok, but I can only access some of the pages in the CMS, most of them are creating the error message.
I've tried uploading a clean WordPress installation and still have the problem. I'm not able to access the plugins page or the themes page to be able to deactive anything.
What could be causing this? It was working fine until last week.

Prepare for Repairs
Never buy a major appliance without asking for the names and cellphone numbers of people who can service it. Service varies by brand and location. Maybe you read about those poor rich people who bought status-y European appliances for their vacation homes, only to discover that Euro appliance repair people dwell exclusively in the city.

Well - the room itself within the hotel was perfectly decent (good bathroom - shower AND bath, nice size bedroom with nice furniture). The cost was good too (£60 per night per room, shared between 2).
HOWEVER, the staff and service are appaling. It takes literally forever to get served at the front desk (the bar at the back is rarely manned - but when it is, the bar staff are lovely). There's no room service (although you can take a bottle of wine or whatever up from the bar).
The pool is ok - pretty small and full of kids, but it'll do. Deck chairs are ok too (not very many of them, though). Pretty good music playing outside - cheesy 90's commercial tracks.
DO NOT eat breakfast here on pain of death!! The selection will send you into a boredom coma, and if you get over that and decide to eat anything - well, don't say I didn't warn you! Bread is all stale, ham smelly, eggs hard as rocks - in fact, I tried several eggs in increasing desperation but with each one, the rubbery white gave way to a bullet-hard, dark GREEN golf-ball of a yolk that bounced out of the egg, and that I just couldn't stomach. There is no kitchen here and so I can only imagine that they shoved a load of eggs in a kettle for an hour to get them to that state. They frequently ran out of milk and juice, and it took forever to refill.
If you do decide to stay here (even bearing in mind that there's a nice-looking Sofitel hotel across the road...), I highly suggest you eat at this lovely cafe about 2 minutes up the road, turning right out of the hotel.

Moment of Vengeance and Other Stories (Mass Market Paperbound)
Email or call for price
Special Order
Before he brilliantly traversed the gritty landscapes of underworld Detroit and Miami, the incomparable Elmore Leonard wrote breathtaking adventures set in America's nineteenth-century western frontier—elevating a popular genre with his now-trademark twisting plots, rich characterizations, and scalpel-sharp dialogue.
There is a moment when obsession, rage, and destiny come together at the end of a shotgun barrel—when wrongs, actual or perceived, are addressed with violence, and the awesome power of life or death rests in a trigger finger. In seven magnificent stories of sins, crimes, conscience, and savage retribution, the New York Times-bestselling master carries us back to an untamed time and place where a simple transgression most often proved fatal . . . and the only true justice lived in the hands of the gunman.
About the Author
Elmore Leonard wrote more than forty books during his long career, including the bestsellers Raylan, Tishomingo Blues, Be Cool, Get Shorty, and Rum Punch, as well as the acclaimed collection When the Women Come Out to Dance, which was a New York Times Notable Book. Many of his books have been made into movies, including Get Shorty and Out of Sight. The short story "Fire in the Hole," and three books, including Raylan, were the basis for the FX hit show Justified. Leonard received the Lifetime Achievement Award from PEN USA and the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. He died in 2013.
Praise For…
"Even the earliest of his western yarns show Leonard to be a master storyteller."
-Los Angeles Times
"Leonard has penned some of the best western fiction ever."
-USA Today

Hi all,
I'm running the free/basic swift theme and noticed that the ALT tags for images on the homepage are not being displayed properly. For example, I have an ALT attribute for an airplane photo set to alt="airplane" and also title="airplane". However, when I hover over the photo, the browser (both Chrome, FireFox, have not tried IE) shows a popup displaying the title of the post, NOT the image alt despite having the alt set to "airplane".
Is this a known issue and can anyone else replicate the same issue?
Thanks for any help/assistance.

Study Connects Project Delivery Methods/Sustainability Goals | Facility Executive - Creating Intelligent Buildings
The first comprehensive study to explore the impact of project delivery methods and procurement procedures on achieving sustainable design and construction goals was released earlier this month.
Study Connects Project Delivery Methods/Sustainability Goals
The first comprehensive study to explore the impact of project delivery methods and procurement procedures on achieving sustainable design and construction goals was released earlier this month. Sustainable, High Performance Projects and Project Delivery Methods: A State of Practice Report was commissioned by the Charles Pankow Foundation and the Design-Build Institute of America. This ongoing study is being conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Colorado, University of Oklahoma, Pennsylvania State University, and Michigan State University.
The first phase of the research aimed to determine the state of practice in green building project delivery and procurement. The full report of the first phase is available here. The initial findings show that integrated delivery methods (such as design-build and construction-manager-at-risk) are superior in achieving or exceeding Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) certification goals and that procurement procedure also have an impact on the level of sustainability achieved.
Researchers evaluated the three most common delivery methods: design-bid-build (DBB); construction manager-at-risk (CMR), and design-build (DB). Under the DBB delivery method, an owner contracts separately for the design and the construction phases, often awarding construction contracts to the lowest bidder. DB is a fully competitive project delivery system that awards contracts for both design and construction to a single entity composed of one or several firms. CMR is a delivery system in which the owner contracts separately but somewhat simultaneously with a designer and a contractor who not only performs construction management services but also has significant input during the design phase. The five procurement procedures sampled in this study were low bid, best value, competitive negotiation, qualifications-based selection, and sole source.
To understand the state of practice, the research team employed a three-tiered research approach encompassing:
- industry survey;
- content analysis; and
- structured interviews
The industry survey elicited 230 responses from LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED APs) regarding the project delivery methods, procurement procedures, and certification level on specific LEED certified projects. The content analysis was based on solicitation documents from 92 public and private projects representing over $2.2 billion in building investment.
Structured interviews were conducted with members of the industry as well as with owners to help interpret the results. Responses were received from 47 of 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The study found that all project delivery methods had been used to achieve all levels of LEED certification (certified, silver, gold, and platinum). It also found that all procurement procedures (low bid, best value, competitive negotiation, qualifications based selection, and sole source) had been used to achieve all levels of LEED certification.
However, some delivery methods and procurement procedures were more successful than others. Success was assessed through the ratings by LEED APs who have completed LEED projects and by identifying those projects that met or exceeded their initial LEED rating goals. Two key facts relating to success are:
- Integrated delivery methods (DB and CMR) are used in 75% of the projects surveyed; and
- Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) procurement was most successful procurement procedure.
The ability to integrate construction knowledge early in design is essential to maximizing sustainability; therefore, strong preferences among LEED APs for integrated delivery methods on LEED projects is not surprising. Integrated project delivery methods either eliminate price competition or include price as one of several factors that determine the contract award.
Sustainable, High Performance Projects and Project Delivery Methods: A State of Practice Report provides insights for owners seeking to achieve specific sustainability goals. While all project delivery methods are in use, integrated project delivery methods are most commonly applied to projects seeking LEED certification. If owners choose QBS procurement methods to select team members, they may increase their chances to meet or exceed their sustainability goals.

This great information to pass on. I enjoyed the article. Educating people on the importance of sustainability to comply with LEED certification, will allow the understanding of producing Silver level or higher LEED certified buildings.
Not a surprise that CMR and DB would be better than DBB. Almost anthing is better than DBB.
That said, the primary issue facing our country … and globally… is how to deal with existing buildings.
The PROVEN construction delivery method for facility repair, renovation, and sustainability is JOC / Job Order Contracting… also know in the Air Force as SABER.
It shares many of the benefit of IPD… collarboration…performance-based… and its TRANSPARENT… a novel attribute for the construction sector!

Windows Azure SQL Reporting has a little known report caching feature. When enabled, you can see performance improve for some reports by up to 95%!
Here's a quick sampling that shows how much caching can effect report rendering performance:
The above graph shows the time (in seconds) it took to render a pretty large report hosted in SQL Reporting (in this sample I rendered it in a loop once every 5 minutes). Before enabling caching, the time to render the report was fairly steady, around 19 seconds. Notice how the report rendering time dropped to around 2 seconds as soon as caching was enabled!
How does caching works?
To understand how caching works, let's take a closer look at the example shown in the above graph.
In that sample, the report we rendered took about 19 seconds to render, and its execution log showed that most of the time was spent on Data-Retrieval. When we enabled caching, we configured the duration for 10 minutes. Now that we understand the execution profile of this report, let's zoom in on the latency graph to see what really happened once caching was enabled:
Given that we render the report once every 5 minutes, and the report stays in the cache for 10 minutes, you can see that after every slow render came 2 very quick renders.
What happened was that the slow render (which before enabling caching was our usual speed) also cached the report data, and the next few render attempts took the report data from the cache (resulting in the data-retrieval time for the report reducing to almost zero). When the cache expired (after 10 minutes) the next render was slow again, since it included refreshing the cache of the report.
Will users getting a cached report see old data?
Yes. This is why caching is not enabled by default, and the cache expiration time can be configured separately per report. If you know the data in your report gets updated only once a day, you can configure a long cache. On the other hand, if your report data gets refreshed frequently and you want to always view the up-to-date data when rendering the report, then you shouldn't cache this report.
Does caching work per user session?
No. If you cache a report, all the users accessing that report will get a cached copy.
What happens if my report has input parameters?
This is the tricky part. Report parameters do effect caching, however only in cases where these parameters affect your report's DataSet.
When creating the cache, the report server calculates a hash of all the parameter values of your DataSet, and keeps a cache per each parameter combination. This means that if your report had a DataSet called GetAllOrdersForCustomer, and that dataset had an input parameter called CustomerName, whenever rendering the report for a different customer name, a new copy of the cache will get generated.
This is a pitfall to watch out for. If your report is usually executed with different input parameters, then caching will in fact lower your performance, because every request will result in the cache getting created again.
You can avoid this if you plan your report right. For example, if your report DataSet has an input parameter called StartTime, and you configured the default value StartTime in your report to be the expression Now(), you can change your report to better support caching by giving StartTime the default value of Today() instead.
So why is this great feature hidden?
It's not really hidden, but rather poorly documented. Caching was a feature which you could usually enable in the on-premises version of SSRS by using the report manager, however since the report manager isn't available with SQL Reporting, the only way to enable it is using a programmatic API call.
How do I enable caching?
By using the ReportingService2010 API, simply execute the following code:
ReportingService2010 client = new ReportingService2010(); client.Url = "https://<YourServerUrl>.reporting.windows.net/ReportServer" + "/ReportService2010.asmx"; client.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer(); client.LogonUser("YourUser", "YourPassword", null); client.SetCacheOptions("/YourReportNameAndFolder", true, new TimeExpiration { Minutes = 10 });
Just change YourReportNameAndFolder (notice the "/" prefix) and the TimeExpiration minutes to fit your needs. Similarly, to disable caching just call SetCacheOptions again for your report, and change the second parameter from true to false.
What about snapshots? Does SQL Reporting also support snapshots?
No. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg430132.aspx#DetailedLevel

Who do you think we can realistically sign this summer? What do we need? (self.Fulham)
submitted 4 years ago by BullNiro
We need a striker (I haven't seen a lot of Petrić but he's a bit old, isn't he?), a deeper midfielder (replacement for Danny Murphy) and maybe a utility defender or another centre back, still not sure on Senderos.
If we cannot keep Dempsey and Dembélé then I think we will be in some serious trouble.

It was undoubtedly the highlight of an amazing day – sitting next to a baby giant panda as he munched contentedly on a bamboo shoot drizzled with honey.
I was mesmerised.
It was hard to believe that when Ao Li Ao was born 14 months earlier, he weighed just 162 grams.
He had grown into a very big boy – I could barely get my arm round him.
My tête-à-tête with Ao Li Ao was at the Giant Panda Breeding Research Centre, just outside the city of Chengdu.
We had flown on one of the first direct British Airways flights to this capital of China's Sichuan province in the south-west of the country.
The plane was painted with black and white markings, ensuring there was no mistaking our destination!
Sichuan is the panda capital so the chance to get up close and personal with one of these iconic animals was not to be missed.
You have to pay £200 for the privilege (in addition to the £6 entrance fee), though this didn't deter many, judging from the queues.
Perhaps it was knowing that the money is put to good use in saving these endangered animals.
It had meant an early start to the day, leaving at around 7am for the 40-minute drive to the Research Centre, as the pandas are usually at their liveliest then when they're tucking into their bamboo breakfast.
When the temperature and humidity rise they tend to drift off for naps – wild pandas are used to the cold, wet weather of their mountain habitat.
Which explains why Tian Tian, Edinburgh Zoo's pregnant giant panda who came from another reserve near Chengdu, appears to be very much at home in Scotland.
The Chinese perception of Chengdu's citizens is that they're rather laid back – they spend their days in the city's many teahouses, putting the world to rights, gossiping, playing cards and maybe conducting a bit of business.
China's teahouse culture originated in Sichuan – it's mentioned in poems as far back as the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD).
And when we took a walk through ancient Jinli Street, there appeared to be a teahouse on almost every corner, intermingled with handicraft and silk shops.
But the world-renowned fiery Sichuan cuisine – the chief ingredients seem to be tongue-numbing chillies and Chinese peppercorns – is definitely far from laid back – as we discovered that evening!
The next day, ascending Qing Cheng Mountain, a two-hour drive from Chengdu, I found the lush greenery and the swirling mist swathing the mountain to be both cooling and spiritual.
Reputedly it is one of the sites where Taoism began and visitors stopped at ancient temples and caves along the way up, to pay their respects at this Unesco World Heritage site.
Along with the pandas, there is another giant in Sichuan.
At Leshan, a two-hour trip from the city, you will find the biggest stone buddha in the world.
Standing 230ft tall, the Grand Buddha was sculpted out of the side of Lingyuan Mountain – taking some 90 years from 713AD.
The figure stands at the confluence of three rivers, with his head at the top of a cliff.
We ended our visit on a high note at a traditional Sichuan opera.
As we sipped tea, we watched singing, dancing, acrobatics and an incredible 'changing faces' act – with actors switching brightly coloured masks in swift succession – with just a wave of the hand. Magical!

Text Message Spy
With the innovations made in the field of technology, you can always rely on its fruits for gaining maximum results. When it comes to spying on your spouse, or child, you might not afford to hire an FBI agent, but you can do the same with the help of some software and applications that have been developed for this particular purpose.
5 applications that can help you spy
You are busy in your board meeting with your future clients, while your spouse might be planning to spend the weekend with her young boyfriend and you are not even aware of such a scenario. But from now on, you would not be cheated anymore as the tech developers have created several mobile applications that can help you take a close look at their daily routine. These Text Message Spy applications not only spies over the message contents in their inbox and outbox, but also tracks their activity in the social media without their knowledge.
Trick or Tracker version 3.0
This particular spy app was developed by Mr. Wayne Irving, CEO of Iconosys. His motive behind the development of such an application was to track down his children and find out what they did in the weekends. This app is available on the platforms of the iPhone and Android, and can be downloaded from the internet. The main issue behind this application is that it has to be installed in both the phones, i.e. the one you are willing to spy and the other through which you would track it. Therefore, it is quite natural that you have to get permission of the user, so that you can download the app on that cell phone. Not only does the software track the text messages that are received and send by that phone, but it also traces the geographical location of that person as well. Thus, it can be one of the best options you can rely upon.
This particular application is meant to trace the activities that your partner' spouse' friends and children perform over the internet. One of the most interesting features of this software is that one does not need to download it, or accept the invitation you have send, for getting tracked. You can log in to the application and find out what your friends are doing. It even tracks down the location of the user, thus allowing you to get a satisfying answer to your mind's question.
Phone Tracker
It is one of those applications that can provide you with valuable information regarding each and every movement of your partner. Starting from remote text message monitoring, the app also uses GPS to track location of the suspect. Hence, even if you are in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, you can still come to know about your spouse's weekend plans. Despite of such positive qualities, the only drawback of this application is that both you and your partner needs to download it. Otherwise, it can never track her/him. Now, it can be estimated that no one would be interested to be tracked unless he is James Bond, from the movie 'Skyfall'.
It is similar software that has been developed for Android and Apple platforms. It has all the qualities that have been incorporated in the 'Phone Tracker', but with some extraordinary modifications. One of such characteristics of the application is that it can even track the speed in which your partner is travelling along with the place.
Find your friends
This Text Message Spy software has been designed not only for monitoring mobile movements, but it also tracks the location of people through GPS. Therefore, it allows you to understand what the suspect is about to do and thus, you can collect evidence that can help you in your operation.
These applications can be the best bet, you can rely upon for spying upon your partner, friend, or even your child. But before all the operations you plan to perform, take into account all the legal regulations of your state. Spying on someone can lead to worse results, including imprisonment.

L.A. Metro Unveils New Expo Line, Approves Billions More in Rail; Gadfly in Obama Mask Isn't Happy
The inimitable John Walsh, L.A.'s favorite gadfly (unless you work at City Hall), will show up to protest the triumphant Expo Line opening at USC today, where the train will reportedly break through a welcome banner as confetti and cannon fireworks go off in the background.
The Bus Riders Union is similarly displeased with the county's priorities. After much prompting, they even got the feds to tell the L.A. Metropolitan
Transit Transportation Authority...
... to look into the apparent civil-rights disaster that is Metro's favoritism of subways over bus lines.
But a stern letter from the Federal Transit Administration will do little, for now, to curb rail mania in L.A., as young business professionals marvel at the New Yorky possibilities and pols pump their chests like Green Gods, declaring themselves the leaders of this new sustainable world within car capital USA.

It's hard to keep track of all Metro's latest subway openings/approvals. But here's our best attempt at a roundup:
• The Expo Line from downtown L.A. to Culver City opens today at noon. Free rides all weekend! Cost to taxpayers: $930 million.
• By 2016, the Expo Line will run all the way to Santa Monica. Cost to taxpayers: $1.5 billion.
• By 2015, the Gold Line will run all the way to Azusa. (It currently ends in Pasadena.) Cost to taxpayers: $1.4 billion.
• Metro decided yesterday to construct a complex, two-mile regional connector joining the the Gold Line, Expo Line and Blue Line beneath Little Tokyo. Riders will be able to stay on the same train all the way from Montclair to Long Beach, or from East L.A. to Santa Monica. The connector will open in 2018. Cost to taxpayers: $1.37 billion.
• Metro also decided yesterday to build out the Purple Line one more stop westward to mid-Wilshire, phase one of the mayor's highly political "Subway to the Sea." (However, they still have to battle Beverly Hills a while longer on the next two stops, as those stops would require the train to run beneath precious Beverly Hills High.) Cost to taxpayers: $5.6 billion.
Let us know if we missed any.
To appease the bus folks, Metro's also throwing in an $185 million extension of the Orange Line bus from Canoga Park to Chatsworth. (See how much cheaper buses are than trains?)
Obama is watching you, Metro.
Anyway, onto the raving gadfly in the Obama mask, because that's an opening-day spectacle we'd way rather see than any old cannon firework. Walsh says in an email titled "OBAMA LOOKALIKE CRASHES EXPO LINE'S VIP MAIDEN VOYAGE" (oh hell yes) that a mysterious "demonstrator" plans to dress up as Obama and carry a sign with the words "OBAMA SAYS MTA IS RACIST!"
Walsh is also concerned, to put it mildly, that Metro is rushing ahead with all these shmancy new subway projects while the city can't even pay for the ones it's already got.
A Los Angeles Times story last week reported that Metro has racked up over $1 billion in deferred maintenance costs.
L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa has an equally flaky track record of promising big rail majesty built on funds from some fantasy piggy bank. Desperate to secure the federal loans he would need to build the Subway to the Sea in under three decades (before he, you know, croaks), Villaraigosa has proposed a hilarious "forever" tax that would shake down L.A. County taxpayers of the future to secure his political legacy ASAP.
Which is all to say -- welcome to L.A., Expo Line! Try not to hit quite as many cars as you did during your test runs, and do beware the man in the Obama mask. 'Cause he's got a point.

text: emergency manager this one In this morning's news: New DPS EM, retiree health care in Pontiac, EPA funds Great Lakes projects By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jul 16, 2013 User: Brother O'Mara / flickr Detroit Public Schools get new emergency manager Governor Rick Snyder has named Jack Martin as the new emergency manager for Detroit Public Schools. Martin replaces Roy Roberts, who is retiring after two years in the position. Martin is leaving his position as Detroit's chief financial officer. Roberts says DPS still has a long way to go, but conditions are noticeably better than when he started; the current budget deficit is more than $70 million. Retiree health care coverage suspended in Pontiac Pontiac's emergency manager Louis Schimmel has proposed the Emergency Loan Board address an expected $6 million general fund shortfall in the current budget year. The board approved a plan to suspend health care coverage for retirees from the city of Pontiac and increase their monthly pension payments. The city's roughly 1,000 pensioners will get an extra $400 a month to buy their own health care, the Associated Press reports. EPA now accepting Great Lakes grant applications The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has $9.5 million to distribute for Great Lakes projects and is looking for takers. The money comes from the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, an Obama administration program to clean up and protect the lakes from a variety of threats. A webinar explaining the application process will be held July 30. Detroit's emergency manager leading bus tour of city's dire conditions By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jul 8, 2013 mich.gov / Michigan Government Detroit's answer to the famous bus tours of New York City is emerging this week. Well, kind of. On Wednesday, Detroit's emergency manager Kevyn Orr will lead creditors on a guided bus tour through the city. But the tour won't be highlighting the city's landmarks. Instead, the creditors will be checking out dire conditions in some of Detroit's neighborhoods. From the Associated Press: After 3 years with an emergency manager, Benton Harbor considers an income tax By Lindsey Smith • Jul 5, 2013 Lindsey Smith / Michigan Radio The city of Benton Harbor has been under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager for more than three years. Now some elected leaders in the state's poorest city are proposing a new way to raise revenue. Benton Harbor has done a lot to try to get out of debt; laid off workers, combined the police and fire departments, restructured its loans. But City Commissioner Trenton Bowens is convinced the city of roughly 10,000 people needs a citywide income tax. State team assigned to look into Pontiac school finances By Mark Brush • Jul 3, 2013 pontiac.k12.mi.us / Pontiac School District Gov. Rick Snyder has named six people to review the finances of the Pontiac School District, a step that could lead to the appointment of an emergency manager or other measures for the Oakland County district struggling with a $38 million budget deficit. A three-member Local Emergency Financial Assistance Loan Board on June 6 found "probable financial stress" in the district. Under the new emergency manager law, if a financial emergency is found to exist, Pontiac officials have four options. They can enter a consent agreement with the state, agree to an emergency manager, go through a neutral evaluation process, or choose bankruptcy.Here's a list of all school districts and cities that engaged with the state's emergency manager law (the Local Financial Stability and Choice Act). Gov. Snyder appoints an emergency manager in Hamtramck, Flint EM replacement also announced By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jun 26, 2013 Department of Treasury The city of Hamtramck will once again be under state control. The Department of Treasury announced Governor Rick Snyder's appointment of an emergency manager for the city of Hamtramck. Gov. Snyder selected Pontiac City Administrator Cathy Square. She will assume the position on July 1, 2013. According to a press release from the Treasury, Hamtramck City Council waived its right to appeal the finding of a financial emergency and unanimously supported the appointment of an EM by the Governor. Muskegon Heights schools emergency manager: 1 year to local control, 28 to pay off debt By Lindsey Smith • Jun 24, 2013 Lindsey Smith / Michigan Radio With a little luck and another loan from the state, Muskegon Heights Public Schools' Emergency Manager Don Weatherspoon is predicting the district will pay of its debt the year 2041. Don Weatherspoon told a small crowd gathered in the high school auditorium Monday night he hopes to hand local control back to the district's elected school board in one year. Muskegon Heights schools' emergency manager to update community tonight By Lindsey Smith • Jun 24, 2013 Lindsey Smith / Michigan Radio Muskegon Heights Public Schools had nearly a $12 million deficit at the end of last school year. That's when the district's newly appointed Emergency Manager Don Weatherspoon said the district couldn't afford to open school in the fall. He laid off most all the staff and hired charter school company Mosaica Education to run the schools for five years. In this morning's news: Medicaid expansion, emergency managers, and heroin incidents By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jun 13, 2013 User: Brother O'Mara / Flickr Medicaid goes to House floor Yesterday, the Michigan House Competitiveness Committee voted to send the Medicaid expansion bill to the floor. Michigan Radio's Jake Neher reports that while Republicans were split on the issue, "Democrats on the panel all voted in favor of the bill. That's after lawmakers dropped a controversial plan to limit able-bodied adults to four years on Medicaid. But they say they're still concerned about language that would raise premiums and co-pays for some patients after four years." Questions for Governor about Detroit's emergency manager Concerns have been raised about Governor Rick Snyder's process in selecting Kevyn Orr as Detroit's emergency manager. Rick Pluta reports that "a judge says Governor Rick Snyder's office must turn over e-mails and other records related to the candidate search for a Detroit emergency manager. The judge's order is related to a lawsuit that alleges Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr was hired illegally. The lawsuit claims the process was rigged and carried out in violation of Michigan's open meetings law." Heroin incidents on the rise in Michigan A rash of heroin overdoses occurred in Washtenaw County last week, and incidents are on the rise across parts of the state. "Authorities say a particularly toxic heroin mix known by some on the street as 'black shadow' appears to be circulating in southeast Michigan communities, causing a rise in overdoses and at least one death this month," report Robin Erb and Tammy Stables Battaglia of the Detroit Free Press. State fines Muskegon Heights schools for hiring teachers without proper certification By Lindsey Smith • Jun 7, 2013 The Muskegon Heights school system has been fined nearly $100,000 by the Michigan Department of Education. The department launched the investigation after Michigan Radio reported the new Muskegon Heights charter school district had about 10% of teachers working without a valid teaching certificate or permit. It's against state law to do that. This week in Michigan politics: No Medicaid expansion, Terri Lynn Land, Hamtramck emergency By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jun 5, 2013 cncphotos / flickr Listen Listening... / 4:20 This week in Michigan politics, Kyle Norris and Jack Lessenberry talk about Republican opposition to Medicaid expansion, former Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land's candidacy for the U.S. Senate, and the financial emergency in the city of Hamtramck. With an emergency manager in office, do city council budget proposals matter? By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Jun 3, 2013 Stephen Boyle Earlier this morning, Detroit's city council voted unanimously to override Mayor Dave Bing's veto of budget cuts proposed by the council.Last week, the mayor rejected changes the city council wanted implemented in the city's $1-billion budget for fiscal year 2013-14, including cuts to his own office. The Detroit News reported: "The council wanted deeper cuts to Bing's staff and quicker implementation of a new health care cost-sharing formula.Bing however did not turn down deeper cuts the council recommended for its own department and the consolidation of its divisions." The council's override of Bing's veto was unanimous (8-0). Charles Pugh, the president of the council, said this was proof that the council was "standing united." But with Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr at the helm of the city's finances, how much does a united city council matter when it comes to Detroit's budget? In this morning's news: Diane Hathaway in court, Benton Harbor on the rebound, Farm Bill rally By Michigan Radio Newsroom • May 28, 2013 User: Brother O'Mara / flickr State Supreme Court Justice faces sentencing Former Michigan Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway is due in court today to be sentenced for fraud. Hathaway was forced to resign in January when she pleaded guilty to a scheme to cheat the bank by hiding assets. Hathaway's attorney is asking that she be allowed to perform community service and pay thousands of dollars in fines; however, federal prosecutors have asked for prison time of 12 to 18 months. Michigan Radio's Rick Pluta has more. Benton Harbor EM believes deficit will be eliminated in one year Tony Saunders, the emergency manager of Benton Harbor, says elected leaders are likely to regain control within a year when the city's structural deficit will be eliminated. Michigan Radio's Lindsey Smith reports Benton Harbor's new emergency manager says he's cut more than a million dollars from the budget in just three months. Senator Debbie Stabenow's farm bill is headed to the senate Senator Debbie Stabenow will rally in West Michigan this week. She's trying to get farmers to pressure lawmakers to pass her new farm bill to funds crop insurance programs and research to help fight invasive insects. Last year the Senate passed the farm bill but it died in the House. The Senate is expected to vote on the farm bill early next month. Benton Harbor emergency manager predicting budget surplus on the horizon By Lindsey Smith • May 27, 2013 Lindsey Smith / Michigan Radio Benton Harbor's new emergency manager says the city is on track to eliminate its structural deficit within a year. The city's finances have been under state control for more than three years. Emergency Manager Tony Saunders started in February after the state ended the previous manager's contract at the city commission's request. Despite state takeover, special education problems linger for Muskegon Heights schools By Lindsey Smith • May 23, 2013 Lindsey Smith / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 3:21 Listen to the on air version of this story. New reports show special education students in Muskegon Heights didn't get all the services they should have this year. The company that runs the state's first all-charter public school district is working to correct the problems. Problems with charter company's handling of special ed services Federal law and state regulations outline the rules that are supposed to make sure kids with special needs still get a fair education. Michigan's Department of Education found more than a dozen ways the new Muskegon Heights charter district violated those rules, affecting a couple hundred special education students. "In my opinion this was probably the worst delivery of special education services I've seen in my career," said Norm Kittleson, a former special education teacher at Muskegon Heights. He's been teaching for 15 years. Kittleson started teaching a small class of students with learning disabilities and emotional issues at Muskegon Heights last October. There's more money in Michigan's school aid fund, but should it be spent on schools on the brink? By Steve Carmody • May 15, 2013 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Battle Creek State Senator Mike Nofs says he doesn't think higher than expected revenue in the school aid fund should be used to bail out struggling school districts. Nofs says at today's revenue estimating conference, state officials will announce the school aid fund has nearly $100 million more than predicted. Nofs expects there will be push to use that money to help the struggling Pontiac and Buena Vista school districts. But he says that's not a good idea. 2 Michigan schools could close early; in 1993 Kalkaska did it on purpose By Mark Brush • May 10, 2013 Kalkaska schools No doubt, public schools in Michigan are struggling. Around 400 students in the Buena Vista school district in Saginaw have been shut out after the district announced they couldn't make payroll. And it was revealed yesterday that Pontiac schools are close to running out of money and might have to close their doors early. Buena Vista school district could be headed down the path to an emergency manager By Steve Carmody & The Associated Press • May 10, 2013 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio A Saginaw area school district that's closed its doors has now asked the state to review its finances. That's the first step toward a state appointed emergency manager. But the move does not guarantee the District's 400 students will be back in class anytime soon. The Buena Vista school board heard from parents and students last night, angry about the abrupt and apparent early end of the school year. "If we don't get these kids back in school…we're going to be the ones who destroyed their lives," one upset father told the school board. Mayor Dayne Walling on financial future of Flint By Jennifer White & Mercedes Mejia • May 8, 2013 Facebook Listen Listening... / 5:34 Originally aired Tuesday, May 7th 2013. Flint's Emergency Manager, Ed Kurtz, says he will resign come June 30th, which may put Flint a step closer to returning to local control. Flint Mayor Dayne Walling talks with Jennifer White about the financial future of Flint. Flint's city council recently passed a resolution asking Governor Rick Snyder to remove the city's emergency manager and appoint a transition advisory team. "There are a number of requirements in the law that would have to be met by the appointed manager before a transition board could be put in place, such as the adoption of a two-year budget. So, city council leadership and I have been calling on for those steps to get done as soon as possible. The city of Flint does face financial challenges, let's get addressed as soon as possible so we can move on," says Mayor Walling. When asked how financially healthy Flint is right now, Walling says: "It's marginally stable. But our position is that it's going to take some long-term planning, some serious community partnerships to get the city to where it's more sustainable going forward. And that work cannot be done effectively by an appointed manager." Listen to the full interview above. On second take, Benton Harbor voters approve "vital" operating millages By Lindsey Smith • May 7, 2013 Lindsey Smith / Michigan Radio People in Benton Harbor voted overwhelmingly to raise property taxes to support city services in Tuesday's election. That's after voters rejected a similar set of proposals last November. The city is already running in the red and the millage represents around 20-percent of the city's income. "You just can't see me dancing in the streets on the radio," Mayor James Hightower said over the phone Tuesday night, "It's a great day in Benton Harbor." Michigan school district out of money, closes doors today By Mark Brush • May 7, 2013 screen grab The financial storm has been brewing at the Buena Vista School District outside of Saginaw for some time, but it came to a head today.

With 'financial emergency' over in Ecorse, Joyce Parker still watching By Stateside Staff • May 1, 2013 Joyce Parker Listen Listening... / 11:01 State officials say the financial emergency in the city of Ecorse has been resolved. The city has been under the control of an emergency manager since 2009 – when then-Governor Jennifer Granholm made the appointment. Now, word comes that the city's budget is balanced and a $20 million deficit has been eliminated. But the announcement doesn't mean elected officials are getting their authority back right away. That's because Joyce Parker – Ecorse's former emergency manager - has given the city a two-year budget that it must follow. Parker – who we should note is also the emergency manager of Allen Park– joined us today. Listen to the full interview above.

The challenges Detroit's emergency manager faces By Stateside Staff • Apr 4, 2013 Paul Hitzelberger / United Photo Works Listen Listening... / 6:05 Time now for our weekly check-in with Detroit News business columnist Daniel Howes. On Dan's mind today is Detroit's emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, who has been on the job for less than two weeks. So far Orr has kept salaries intact for the Mayor and City Council and has allowed them to keep meeting. As Howes talks with business leaders and others, he has been hearing the reviews they have been giving to Orr in these first days. Recently, he had the opportunity to sit down with someone who knows what kind of challenges Kevyn Orr faces. Joseph Harris, the former emergency manager in Benton Harbor and Detroit's auditor general for 10 years, has a lot of knowledge when it comes to building bridges and reaching out to business and foundation leaders. His advice for Orr, "get moving like your hair is on fire." Today, we get to hear, what advice Harris has given to Orr when it comes to addressing Detroit's financial problems. To hear more from Daniel Howes, his column is in today's edition of the Detroit News. To listen to the full audio, click the link above. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 … next › last »

Holy Spirals, Batman!!
So I'm knitting some leg warmers as a gift. I've always had problems with DPNs causing a gap in my work where the needles transition, even when tugging that stitch a little tighter. I remembered reading a tip somewhere to keep moving the transition and the gap won't be as obvious so I tried moving it ahead 2 stitches each round. Wow, was that a bad idea! Now instead of a line-gap down my work I have very obvious spirals! I can't be sure but it almost seems like this time I have the opposite problem: transition stitches are too tight rather than too loose. I'm wondering if I'm forced to rip it all back or if it should fix itself when I wash, stretch and block?? PLEASE say it'll fix itself!!!!!

German Stocks Advance After U.S., China Manufacturing Expands
German stocks climbed, pushing the benchmark DAX Index to the highest level since May 2008, as reports showed manufacturing expanded in the U.S. and China and Infineon Technologies AG raised its forecast.
Infineon, Europe's second-largest chipmaker, gained 1.3 percent. Allianz SE rallied 4.7 percent after Credit Suisse Group AG said life insurers will climb as concern about the European sovereign debt crisis ease. Duerr AG gained 2.6 percent after the maker of painting robots for the automobile industry said it may resume dividend payments this year.
The benchmark DAX gained 106.79, or 1.5 percent, to 7,184.27 at the 5:30 p.m. close in Frankfurt. The gauge has climbed 3.9 percent this year amid better-than-forecast economic reports and speculation European leaders will increase their efforts to contain the region's sovereign debt crisis. The broader HDAX Index also rallied 1.5 percent today, to 3,649.45.
"We find the backdrop for stocks still constructive," said Mislav Matejka, head of pan-European equity strategy at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in London. "Manufacturing momentum is re-accelerating and there is evidence of the recovery broadening to small businesses, the labor market and credit activity."
A Million People
The DAX rebounded from a two-day slide amid protests demanding the ousting of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Egypt's newly appointed Vice President Omar Suleiman offered talks with opposition groups in a bid to end unrest as protesters urged a million people to take to the streets today and force President Mubarak from office.
The anti-Mubarak movement received a boost yesterday from the Egyptian military, which said it recognized "the legitimacy of the people's demands," and promised not to fire on peaceful protests.
Stocks extended gains as the U.S. Institute for Supply Management's factory index increased to 60.8 in January from 58.5 a month earlier. That exceeding the most optimistic forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of economists and was the highest level since May 2004.
A reading of 52.9 for a purchasing managers' index released by China's logistics federation exceeded the 50 level dividing expansion and contraction. A PMI from HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics rose to 54.5 from 54.4.
Fastest Pace
In Europe, manufacturing growth was stronger than initially estimated in January, accelerating to the fastest pace in nine months on stronger output in Germany. A gauge of manufacturing in the euro region rose to 57.3 from 57.1 in December, London-based Markit Economics said today. That's the highest since April and above the initially reported 56.9. Infineon rose 1.3 percent to 7.82 euros. The company raised its full-year forecast after reporting a better-than-predicted first-quarter profit on surging demand for automotive and industrial semiconductors.
Revenue in the year ending September will rise by a mid-teens percentage, compared with a previous "close to 10 percent" growth forecast, Infineon said in a statement today. The operating margin, or the so-called segment result margin, is expected to be a "high teens" percentage of sales, up from a previous mid-to-high teens percentage forecast.
Allianz rallied 4.7 percent to 106.25 euros as Credit Suisse analysts said life insurers will climb as concern about the European sovereign debt crisis ease.
Duerr gained 2.6 percent to 24.73 euros after saying it expects a dividend payment can be resumed for 2010 after the company returned to after-tax profit. Deutsche Bank AG rose 1.6 percent to 43.88 euros. Germany's biggest bank said fourth-quarter profit fell about 54 percent on costs. Net revenue rose 35 percent to 7.4 billion euros ($10.2 billion), beating estimates. WestLB upgraded the shares to "add" from "neutral."
Metro AG, Germany's largest retailer, climbed 3.3 percent to 53.12 euros as UBS AG upgraded the stock to "buy" from "neutral." The company "is on track for a period of solid double digit profit growth," a team of London-based analysts at UBS, including Matthew Taylor, wrote in a report today.
Aurubis AG fell 4.4 percent to 39.30 euros after saying it expects to post a first-quarter operating loss of 21 million euros.

Dr. Khalid saved me from so much distress during my cancer healing.
I have been seeing Dr Khalid for the past 18 months, from first meeting her to my last appointment on Monday she has always been kind, courteous, gentle and upfront, I love her and her staff. The staff I think of as friends - they are always quick to respond, caring, I can't say enough about them. It was my lucky day in the ER to have had Dr Khalid assigned to me-If I have to wait for the doctor, well I believe she is attending someone in need - someday it could be me.
Dr. Aysha Khalid is one of the best doctors i have been to. she is kind and caring and would go out of her way to do any thing for me. in general she is an amazing doctor
Totally lacks bedside manners. Prescribes unnecessary procedures. disrespectful and Insensitive to patient and their family.
patients=dollar signs to this "dr". totally and utterly disconnected. the worst part is how fake she is.. she pretends to care and just doesn't. this woman should not be a doctor. fake. phony. as far as medicine is concerned her lack of interest will be enough to show you not to trust her medical judgement.

Google Alters China Access In Bid To Keep License
Faced with the possible loss of its license to operate in China, Google says it will no longer automatically redirect Chinese users to its unfiltered site in Hong Kong. Instead, Chinese users will have to click on a tab to gain access to the Hong Kong site. China is likely to view this as another end run around government censors.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
Back in March, Google tried to get around mainland China's censors by moving its Chinese language search engine to Hong Kong. The move quickly grew into a diplomatic dispute between Beijing and Washington. NPR's Anthony Kuhn now reports from Beijing on Google's latest efforts to make an end run around China's censors.
ANTHONY KUHN: As of today, Google's mainland China site has nothing but a hyperlink saying that the site has moved. All you can do is click on it, at which point you are redirected to the Hong Kong site. Before, users were automatically rerouted there. So for the user, the difference is just that one mouse click.
The Google controversy has remained highly politicized, since Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used it to press China on Internet freedoms. Harvard Business School Internet expert Ben Edelman says that Google's latest maneuver is unlikely to placate Beijing.
Me. BEN EDELMAN (Internet Expert, Harvard Business School): If China were looking to compromise, this would let China save face. I don't get the sense that they're looking to compromise. They are furious at Google, all the more so after Google takes these steps, and they're not likely to regard this as sufficient.
KUHN: Google's legal counsel, David Drummond, said on his blog that Google made the change because China had threatened to revoke the company's Internet content provider license, which expires tomorrow local time.
Beijing-based information technology blogger Hong Bo says Google needs that license to keep its Chinese Internet address and continue providing email, mapping and other services in China.
Mr. HONG BO (Blogger): (Through translator) The Internet content provider license is extremely important to Google. It doesn't want to lose this annual renewal. If it did, it wouldn't have the right to conduct any Internet business in China.
KUHN: Ben Edelman says the trick for Google is to take credit for pulling its search engine out of China in support of free speech while continuing to do other business there.
Mr. EDELMAN: Google got great publicity in the United States for threatening to pull out of China, and that may have been enough, given the size of their market in China. They just didn't have that much market share. What are they exactly giving up if they can make this compromise work, they can find a way to have their cake and eat it, too. They'd be awfully happy with that outcome.
KUHN: China has not yet responded to Google's latest move. Foreign ministry spokesman Qin Gang today just reminded foreign Internet companies doing business in China to obey the country's laws.

503,310 deals (and counting)
from around the web, shared and ranked by a community of deal fiends like you.
Go to Deals.Woot.
Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Where's the "Tried it, stopped uploading because my camera died" option.
or the, "I have an account, and I upload videos, but nobody ever watches them."
Yeah, I second the "no one ever watches them" sentiment . . . except for one crappy school project that happens to contain the word "Alphabet." Man that thing gets like a gazzillion hits--all from disappointed parents.
What I kind of figured out is... if you're genuine, hitting on relevant topics to general interests, you'll get a few hits.
(Aka - youtube is a community, Share the love to get the love. If you're not active on other people's youtube pages, videos, commenting, sharing, favoriting, subscribing... you end up getting less hits than if you are active. Group channels will get bleed-over hits and subscribers, but it's up to YOU to keep them.)
If you're lucky AND genuine, you get picked up by other youtubers or get skyrocketed by a blogger/news site.
If you're just plain lucky (content or not) you go viral.
I had a video on my channel that was the first demonstration of a major hack for the PSP game system; it had somewhere upwards of 10 million hits.
And then I deleted my channel and started over with a new one...

Whipple's disease is a rare illness caused by a bacterial infection that affects the intestines, preventing absorption of the nutrients in food and sometimes causing malnutrition and anemia. Symptoms of Whipple's disease include weight loss, diarrhea, abdominal pain, low fever, and pain in the joints.
If not treated, Whipple's disease may affect organs and systems of the body, including the heart, nervous system, and eyes.
Treatment for Whipple's disease is antibiotic medicine. Although the illness usually improves within a few weeks once antibiotic therapy starts, the person may have to take antibiotics for a full year to help avoid having a relapse, which is common. If it is not treated, Whipple's disease leads to death.
