Grade: B+
The winning streak of even-numbered "Star Trek" movies continues with the latest release, "Star Trek: Nemesis."
The 10th film in the series, "Nemesis" (PG-13; sci-fi action violence and peril, and a scene of sexual content) ranks with the greatest "Trek" movies: No. 2, "The Wrath of Khan," and No. 8, "First Contact." Suffice it to say, it's far better than any odd-numbered entry in the series, particularly the soporific No. 9, "Insurrection."
All the elements of terrific "Trek" are here - killer space fights, thorny ethical issues, comic relief, groovy technology - as are new additions, like an off-road race in treacherous alien territory.
The plot - which shows definite similarities to current headlines about Iraq - revolves around a clone of Capt. Jean Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart, solid as ever), who assumes leadership of an offshoot of longtime "Trek" foes, the Romulans. It's up to our intrepid Enterprise crew to stop him before he uses a doomsday weapon on Earth.
Success is all but guaranteed, of course, but it comes at a heavy price, one that should easily lead into "Star Trek 11." Hopefully, that one will avoid the odd-number curse.

for my site http://www.delhi-fun-dos.com i just figured out a way to have reviews as posts on home page and I'm liking it a lot. I started using this instead of creating posts and manually adding ratings and good/bad etc
But I have a concern now. Just in case later someday I want to switch to another theme, none of my reviews will show as posts. I'll loose all the content. Is there a way out. If in future I want to move to another theme I'd like to have the reviews appear at least as normal posts.

Before the Trumpet: Young Franklin Roosevelt, 1882-1905 (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
" "
Before Pearl Harbor, before polio and his entry into politics, FDR was a handsome, pampered, but strong-willed youth, the center of a rarefied world. In "Before the Trumpet, "the award-winning historian Geoffrey C. Ward transports the reader to that world--Hyde Park on the Hudson and Campobello Island, Groton and Harvard and the Continent--to recreate as never before the formative years of the man who would become the 20th century's greatest president. Here, drawn from thousands of original documents (many never previously published), is a richly-detailed, intimate biography, its central figure surrounded by a colorful cast that includes an opium smuggler and a pious headmaster; Franklin's distant cousin, Theodore and his remarkable mother, Sara; and the still-more remarkable young woman he wooed and won, his cousin Eleanor. This is a tale that would grip the reader even if its central character had not grown up to be FDR.
About the Author
Geoffrey C. Ward is an author and screenwriter of various documentary presentations of American history. He wrote the television mini-series The Civil War with director Ken Burns and has authored or coauthored numerous books, including A First-Class Temperament and Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson.

Bionic Commando: Rearmed Studio Bringing Pid to XBLA
Written Wednesday, June 13, 2012 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Attractive platformer Pid has secured an XBLA release thanks to a deal with publisher D3.
Created by veterans from Swedish studio Grin (they made Bionic Commando: Rearmed), Pid is a characterful affair that sees the main protagonist stranded on a remote island. Only platforming, puzzling and gravity fiddling can help him escape.
You should get a decent idea of how the game works from the two trailers below. One is a slightly older announcement vid, while the other shows the core gameplay mechanics in action. Looks fun, doesn't it?
Pid is out this August.

Dubai Stocks Drop for a Second Day as Tamweel Retreats
Dubai's benchmark stock index retreated to the lowest level in almost three weeks on bets this year's advance may be overdone amid Europe's debt crisis that risks worsening global economic growth.
Tamweel PJSC, a Dubai-based mortgage provider whose shares doubled this year, fell to the lowest in almost a month. Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Co., the smaller of the two United Arab Emirates' mobile-phone operators known as Du, declined to the lowest since Aug. 13. The DFM General Index dropped 0.9 percent to 1,558.83 at the close in Dubai, the lowest since Aug. 8. The Bloomberg GCC 200 Index rose 0.1 percent.
Dubai's benchmark gauge climbed in the past four weeks, taking this year's gain to 15 percent as the emirate's economy rebounded and earnings at companies such as developer Emaar Properties PJSC beat analysts' estimates. The rally left companies on the index trading at 14.7 times their earnings, compared with 11.7 times for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"It's a normal profit-taking situation," said Talal Touqan, head of research at Al Ramz Securities LLC in Abu Dhabi. "Sentiment is affected by global factors, but it's justified by internal factors," with second-quarter results out of the way and "the price level of most of the stocks close to the holding cost of the clients, so everyone now is willing to exit whenever a drop comes."
Euro-Area Crisis
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell 0.4 percent. Europe's Stoxx 600 index declined 1.8 percent last week amid renewed concern about the ability of the euro area's officials to stem the region's debt crisis.
Tamweel declined 1.6 percent to 1.23 dirhams, the lowest since July 29. Du, which has the fourth-biggest weighting on Dubai's index, fell 0.6 percent to 3.48 dirhams. Emaar, the company with the heaviest weighting on the gauge, slipped 1.2 percent to 3.35 dirhams, paring this year's gain to 30 percent.
Abu Dhabi's ADX General Index and Oman's MSM30 Index dropped 0.4 percent. Bahrain's measure declined 0.5 percent and Kuwait's gauge rose 0.4 percent. Qatar's QE Index lost 0.1 percent and Saudi Arabia's Tadawul All Share Index advanced 0.5 percent.

I just updated my plugin, Page Comments Off Please. However when I look at the plugin in the repository page, it looks like something is wrong. I'm not seeing an auto-update notice even though my stable version is 2.0. My plugin doesn't come up for common search terms, and my description seems cut off, no screenshots, etc. I've gone over this for a long time, but can't find any problem on my end. I was hoping with a new tagged version, this would go away but my plugin is somehow marred :)
Can somebody take a look and maybe tell me what I did wrong? Thanks!
This search, should probably pull up my plugin, right?

Academic Flexibility:
There is a wide variety of days and times that classes are offered so finding a schedule that best fits for me is never too challenging. However, getting the specific classes I need are sometimes difficult because they fill up fast or there just aren't enough sections.
Overall Experience:
I have grown an attachment to Cal Poly. Cal Poly has given me so many opportunities and memories that I wouldn't trade for any other experience at another school.
Overall Experience:
Class sizes are pretty reasonable. Sometimes I wish they were larger so I can get into the class. However, on a reasonable level it's good that they are small so that the professor can dedicate more time the students. It would be nicer if there were classes offered.
Online Courses:
I have only taken one online course, which was for introduction to psychology. There was a reasonable amount of professor/student interaction. I think I prefer the traditional classroom experience to online courses. I feel like I learn more effectively when I can hear a professor lecture as opposed to doing most of the learning on my own by spending hours reading. Online courses would be very convenient if I knew how to manage my time better. There is little to no peer to peer interaction.
Student Body:
The student body is quite diverse, which is great. There are a number of campus activities that go on that help to unite the student body. They allow us to exchange ideas and creativity with one another. There are many groups that are active on campus and make their presence and purpose known, whether they may be ethnic, religious, sexual, etc.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I get a reasonable amount of financial aid and the rest I am able to pay. The price of tuition itself seems expensive and I personally think that higher education in the United States should be free. However, the implications of making that possible given our country's financial state are unknown to me. The financial aid office at Cal Poly is very helpful and had always helped with whatever concerns I've had.
Academic Experience:
I am currently a Biochemistry major. Most of my introductory science classes were really great such as General Chemistry and the Foundational Biology series. The professors were very engaging and showed overall concern that their classes were grasping the content. However, I noticed as I started to reach the upper division classes the professors, most of whom were retirees, paid less attention to whether the class was understanding the content. They showed less interest in the success of their students. There are plenty of research opportunities, which is really great. I have never used the services of the career center, but they are known to provide help to those who are interested in pursuing internships and looking for jobs after they graduate. The workload for a Biochemistry major is definitely heavy. I'm starting to believe that it will be impossible to graduate within 4 years.
Academic Experience:
Registering for classes for organic chemistry are almost impossible. Multiple sections for the organic chemistry series are scarce and fill up very fast. The workload isn't very heavy as far as homework, but studying for the class on your own takes the most time. The chemistry department offers a few special study options, which is great.
Campus Resources:
Some of the on campus resources that I have been able to take advantage of include the library, the student health services center, the bronco student center, etc. Cal Poly just opened a new recreation center called the BRIC equipped with many things for physical activity and it's state of the art facilities give the student a great opportunity to stay fit. I really enjoy the library and the BRIC and the student health service center is so useful for when I need shots or a health check up. These facilities seem to really put our tuition money to good use.
Student Body:
I is not had a problem with my academic school.I left school, leaving me a good face of my teachersand my comrades.education was high quality and I gave myself a background in research is what has earned this result.thank you

I would like to clarify some doubts I have about using nginx to proxy requests over a cluster of thin servers (http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/). I've read many blog posts about using UNIX sockets and not TCP connections, my only doubt is about multiserver configurations, where the cluster is spread on more than one machine, and the proxy acts as a frontend. How do I share UNIX sockets ? Should I share the directory that contains the .sock files or there's something I'm missing ? How do you guys handle this kind of deployment ?

Two issues I noted:

I imported the Templates directory to my theme, and when I ran Theme Check it said that there were was a problem with arrows in navigation-author.php. Somehow they got de-encoded and show up as ← instead of

In content-author.php,
<?php printf( __( '%s posts', 'simple-user-listing'), count_user_posts( $user->ID ) ); ?>, it would be helpful to have a way to display the post count for a single post, so it doesn't read "1 posts."

Lincoln and Grace: Why Abraham Lincoln Grew a Beard
Eleven-year-old Grace Bedell really liked presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln!
But the one thing she thought he was missing was a beard...so she sat down and wrote him a letter. After reading Grace's letter and listening to her advice, Lincoln grew a beard and became the 16th President of the United States. This is a true story about the power of written communication and how one little girl changed history.
Praise for Lincoln and Grace:
Grace Bedell is a name that the annals of history would have long forgotten had she not written a cheeky letter to Abraham Lincoln during the profoundly turbulent election of 1860. Bedell, a young girl living in a small town in New York, suggested to a whiskerless Lincoln that his chances of winning the election would be greatly increased if he grew a beard to cover his slim face. Even more remarkable than Bedell's bold suggestion was Lincoln's good-natured written response to her letter, a copy of which can be found in this book's back matter. In fact, when Lincoln visited Bedell's hometown in 1861, he personally and publicly thanked her for her advice. Part folk story, part social history, this offers the character development and gently illustrated plot points of a storybook scaffolded by benchmark historical events. Lincoln is a perennially favorite historical figure, and this book reminds readers of the humble and friendly persona that was his hallmark.

I grew up in Queens, New York. It was a quieter time…when kids could enjoy hours of unsupervised outdoor play with their friends.
I was fortunate to have supportive parents and a wonderful younger sister, Lois (now a writer of amazing young-adult books – check out her website: loismetzger.com). Mutti, my remarkable grandmother, was a source of unconditional love, something every child needs.
I had a variety of jobs – dishwasher, taxi driver, hotel room clerk, and import manager – before finding my true calling, working with children. I went to graduate school and received my teaching degree from "Bank Street College of Education."
I spent 15 happy years as a classroom teacher. Afterward, I worked at Scholastic, where I received the opportunity to write children's books. Seventy books later, I'm still writing…and loving it!
I live with my wife, Nancy; daughter, Julia; and Biscuit, a talkative cat, in New York City.

Hello! Is there a way to echo the number of items in a pagination page relative to the total number of results found?
e.g. Page 3, showing 31-45 items of 300 found.
In this case, showing the page number and the total number of results is easy. However, I couldn't figure out the right code to echo out "31-45" mentioned above.
I've been diligently looking at the codes in the documentation section but couldn't figure how to make this work.

that is hahaha.
what song?
It's called "India," of course.
First song. First album.
The song is terribly produced...but they never wrote a better song. Butler's at his finest, just improvising all his crazy favorite catch phrases from those early days... he says the word "strange" and "ceiling" and "flowers" 100 X each verse. It's delightful. What a singer that guy is.
The 1st album of their was their best imo.
"sister of mine, home again" :)
-Sister Europe
I'm partial to Talk Talk Talk, their second album.
I can never get enough of Mr. Jones, Dumb Waiters, and those two pop ballads at the end of each side that sound identical...so that when you're listening to one of them, you can't remember how the other one is any different.
Not quite on topic, but isn't it cool how so many bars have gone to using those digital satellite channels for their house background music? In the past month, I've sat in my neighborhood watering hole and heard "Sister Europe," "White Riot," "Vietnamese Baby" and--just the other night--"I'm Stranded" by the fucking Saints!!! Is this a great country or what?

Madison Smartt Bell is one of the most prolific young writers in America. Since his first novel, The Washington Square Ensemble published in 1983, when Bell was only 25 years old he has published a total of 11 books: nine novels and two story collections. His latest book, Ten Indians, tells the story of an idealistic white tae kwon do instructor and his poor African-American students in inner-city Baltimore.
Mike Devlin is a 46-year-old child psychiatrist whose successful practice has kept him comfortably, if frustratingly, detached from life's harsher lessons and realities. Devlin is a man who wants to do something he wants to make a difference in the world. After reaching a personal crossroads, he steps into a world where poverty, violence, and despair have imprisoned the city's youth: When his tae kwon do instructor offers him the opportunity to open a tae kwon do school near a housing project in Baltimore, he accepts.
Devlin opens a gym to teach the Korean martial art and encourages his 17-year-old daughter to help out. The young black neighborhood drug dealers are eager to learn the fighting for self-protection, anticipating the day when they will ultimately be sent to prison. But the brutality of the streets and a series of violent deaths and deadly misunderstandings shock Devlin into seeing how limited his influence has really been.
In this complex, fast-paced narrative, Bell focuses on the racial lines that have divided contemporary America. Like Bell's National Book Award finalist, All Souls' Rising, an epic novelaboutHaiti's bloody 19th-century revolution, Ten Indians captures a voice that needs to be heard. As Time magazine writes, "A lot of readers of the new novel who never read Bell before are going to be digging [All Souls' Rising] out of libraries and paperback shelves."

Research Institution:
AbstractFlorida Turbine Technologies, Inc. is working to become a first-tier supplier of small gas turbines for military and commercial use. In this effort FTT will study concepts for a modified "high-g" combustor concept for ultra-low-volume, highly capable engine systems. Key features of this system will include ultra-low volume, high external and internal swirl. Concept development would be focused on extension of FTT's existing miniature combustors to allow scale-up to larger engines. FTT would limit its main effort to smaller engine sizes (typically with radial compressor stages) which fit within FTT's overall business strategy: to develop engines for UAV and missile airframes. Goals for the combustor concept include 1) stable operation at high combustor loadings, 2) maximum use of swirl from the compressor at the same, or lower, system pressure loss as today's miniature combustors and 3) scalability to larger engines. At the end of the program, FTT's goal is to have a solid design concept that can be put into hardware and tested at its on-site test facility. The hardware would be small in size so it remains compatible with FTT's existing military engine development efforts

SF's answers I see in the support forum are 'add a jquery form validation plugin from Germany...'.

If you really expect everyone to move their precious data to the SF 'cloud, why can't you include simple server-side field validation in this plugin (and maybe a decent phone number field)?

Building a 3D model with Blender
Although Walt Disney's masterpieces are not forgotten, legacy cartoon techniques are a thing of the past. As long ago as 1995, the movie "Toy Story" proved that computers are more than up to the task of animating pictures. We'll help you get started with building your own animations.
Spational models start life as wire frames. After you add textures and lighting, they can be converted to artificial 3D scenes. This process is known as rendering. Most industrial designs, from cars to coffee machines, are created using this method. Blender is an open source program that handles all the steps from the construction of a model, through texturing and lighting, to rendering the 3D scene. Blender also has powerful animation features. This article describes how to build a basic 3D model using a cartoon character as a reference. Next month, I'll describe how to teach this static model to walk.

Extreme Graphics with Extrema
To plot two-dimensional data, you can use:
GRAPH x y
where x and y are two vectors of equal length. The default is to draw the data joined by a solid line. If you want your data as a series of disconnected points, you can set the point type to a negative number, for example:
Then you can go ahead and graph your data.
Parametric plots also are possible. Let's say you have an independent variable called t that runs from 0 to 2*Pi. You then can plot t*sin(t) and t*cos(t) with:
t = [0:2*pi:0.1]
x = t * sin(t)
y = t * cos(t)
graph x y
This will give you the plot shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4. Graphing a Parametric Plot
In scientific experiments, you usually have some value for error in your measurements. You can include this in your graphs as an extra parameter to the graph command, assuming these error values are stored in an extra variable. So, you could use:
graph x y yerr
to get a nice plot. Many options are available for the graph command (Figure 5).
Figure 5. The graph command has many available options.
More complicated data can be graphed in three dimensions. There are several types of 3-D graphs, including contour plots and surface plots. The simplest data structure would be a matrix, where the indices represent the x and y values, and the actual numbers in the matrix are the z values. If this doesn't work, you can represent the separate x, y and z values with three different vectors, all of the same length. The most basic contour graph can be made with the command:
CONTOUR m
where m is the matrix of values to be graphed. In this case, Extrema will make a selection of nice contour lines that create a reasonable graph.
You can draw a density plot of the same data with the density command, where the values in your matrix are assigned a color from a color map, and that is what gets graphed. Unless you say differently, Extrema will try to select a color map that fits your data the best. A surface plot tries to draw a surface in the proper perspective to show what surface is defined by the z values in your data.
Let's finish by looking at one of the more important analysis steps, fitting an equation to your data. The point of much of science is to develop equations that describe the data being observed, in the hope that you then will be able to predict what you would see under different conditions. Also, you may learn some important underlying physics by looking at the structure of the equation that fits your data. Let's look at a simple fitting of a straight line. Let's assume that the data is stored in two vectors called x and y. You'll also need two other variables to store the slope and intercept. Let's call them b and a. Then you can fit your data with the command:
SCALAR\FIT a b
FIT y=a+b*x
Then, if you want to graph your straight line fit and your data, you can do something like:
GRAPH x y
GRAPH x a+b*x
Now that you have seen the basics of what Extrema can do, hopefully you will be inspired to explore it further. It should be able to meet most of your data-analysis needs, and you can have fun using the same tool that is being used by leading particle physicists.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Eighteen finalists and six winners took home esteemed 2014 Tourism for Tomorrow Awards from the World Travel & Tourism Council's (WTTC) annual Global Summit in Hainan, China on April 24. The Tourism for Tomorrow Awards – now in its tenth year – honors businesses, organizations and destinations that exhibit best practices in sustainable tourism and serve as a benchmark for others in the travel and tourism industry to strive toward.
Of the award applications received, entrants ranged in size from global hotel groups to small eco-lodges, in service from international airline transportation to luxury tour operation, and spanned 56 countries in all six populated continents around the globe.
To narrow the field of finalists to the top six award winners in each category, an independent panel of 22 judges from around the world converged under the leadership of chairman Costas Christ, a global expert on sustainable tourism, to take part in a rigorous three-step judging process and on-site evaluations of all award finalists. It is this fine-tuned attention to detail and in-depth firsthand assessments of the merits of each finalist that makes the Tourism for Tomorrow Awards the gold standard for sustainable tourism awards around the world.
"Each year, the Tourism for Tomorrow Awards recognize sustainable tourism best practices in action, helping to transform the travel and tourism industry based upon the principles of environmentally-friendly operations, support for the protection of cultural and natural heritage, and direct benefits to the social and economic well-being of local people in travel destinations around the world," said Christ. "This year's finalists continue to demonstrate that when carefully managed, tourism can be a powerful force for improving livelihoods and protecting our planet for future generations."
New to this year's award are two new categories that represent the importance of people and innovation within the travel and tourism sphere.
"For ten years, WTTC has led the sustainability debate within travel and tourism through our Tourism for Tomorrow Awards," said David Scowsill, president & CEO of WTTC. "To mark the tenth anniversary this year, we have changed the awards to reflect the broadening scope of WTTC's sustainability agenda. There are now six award categories, with the addition of two entirely new awards to recognize the areas of human resources and innovation."
The winners of the 2014 Tourism for Tomorrow Awards are:
Arviat Community Ecotourism makes the natural arctic wildlife and rich, historic culture of the native Inuit in Canada's sparsely-populated northernmost territory accessible through its sustainable, native-owned, community-led tourism service. Funded by a sum of money received under a land claim agreement from the Federal Conservation Areas, the younger generation of indigenous Inuit created a sustainable investment in their community with the launch of Arviat Community Ecotourism in January 2011. Through their ecotourism service, which is 100% owned and operated by natives in the community, tourists can immerse themselves in ancient Inuit history and culture, embark on a guided tour to the National Historic Sites of Arvia'juaq and Qikiqtaarjuk, and visit other cultural sites along the bay with the most knowledgeable, local guides available.
Sustainability is fundamental principle that has been entrenched in African safari tour operator, Asilia Africa's, business model since its launch a decade ago. To beget sustainable tourism throughout its thirteen properties in Tanzania, Kenya and Mozambique, the forward-thinking safari operation built its business upon five core standards: community, conservation, capacity, certification and commitment. Operating in critical conservation areas where wildlife is severely in danger of extinction, these regions have actually thrived under Asilia's guidance, protection, education, monitoring and management of its resources over the past 10 years.
Before his passing, the late Captain Vassilis Constantakopoulos of Messinia, Greece set out on a mission to invest in the protection of the land he loved so dearly through the establishment of sustainable tourism facilities and renewable resource projects in the region. Through his company, Temes S.A., his vision to protect the rich cultural heritage and pristine nature of Messinia's local community remains intact through sustainable investments in infrastructure, environmental and habitat protection projects, and local economic stimulation in the form of jobs for the local community. Among Temes S.A.'s accomplishments include the creation of two water reservoirs for river winter runoff to cover irrigation needs, the development of one of the largest photovoltaic facilities in Greece to supply electricity, and the establishment of one of the largest olive tree transplanting programs in Europe.
It takes a staunch dedication to environmental sustainability to revive and re-forest an area that has been completely wiped out by slash and burn agricultural practices, but that's exactly what Jetwing Vil Uyana in Sri Lanka has been doing since 2002. Taking two whole years to regenerate the barren landscape with native plants and natural wildlife, the hotel's six hectares of land were given new life in the form of natural wetlands, native flora and fauna, and rich native species returning to the area before any of Jetwing's 30 luxurious, eco-friendly dwellings were built upon the land. Thanks to its regeneration efforts, close maintenance of environmental sustainability, and implementation of energy efficient measures, Jetwing is investing in a bright future for Vil Uyana.
Since 2008, Lao National Institute of Tourism and Hospitality (LANITH) has been revolutionizing the tourism economy in some of Southeast Asia's poorest countries through travel and tourism industry education. Its two primary thrusts include a two-year Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality for those hoping to break into the industry and its Passport to Success program for those already working in the industry. The training center offers short vocational courses in customer service, kitchen management and food production, while the full-time degree offers a full-scale curriculum for low-income, minority and disadvantaged populations.
Ecosphere in Spiti Valley, India takes a holistic approach to sustaining the legacy of the Himalayas' history, culture and natural beauty for generations to come. Through social enterprise, Ecosphere turns everyday assets into innovative tourism products right from within its 4,000-meter, high altitude, cold desert climate region. Since its founding in 2002, Ecosphere has been protecting the natural Himalayan environment through the design of nature-inspired products like mud pottery replicas of depleting fossils that tourists take home as souvenirs and its sensitization video which educates tourists on methods of responsible, eco-friendly travel.
These forward-thinking, sustainability-minded businesses and organizations are leading the charge and establishing high standards for global sustainable practices and promoting eco-friendly growth in the industry. Through their valiant efforts, these cutting-edge pioneers are showcasing the powerful impact sustainable tourism can have on local economies, people, environments and humanity as a whole.

Many people ascribe great value to self-esteem, but how much value? Do people value self-esteem more than other pleasant activities, such as eating sweets and having sex? Two studies of college students (Study 1: N=130; Study 2: N=152) showed that people valued boosts to their self-esteem more than they valued eating a favorite food and engaging in a favorite sexual activity. Study 2 also showed that people valued self-esteem more than they valued drinking alcohol, receiving a paycheck, and seeing a best friend. Both studies found that people who highly valued self-esteem engaged in laboratory tasks to boost their self-esteem. Finally, personality variables interacted with these value ratings. Entitled people thought they were more deserving of all pleasant rewards, even though they did not like them all that much (both studies); and people who highly value self-esteem pursue potentially maladaptive self-image goals, presumably to elevate their self-esteem (Study 2).

CLEMSON -- For Clemson, bowl practice is a time to prepare for South Florida, a time to develop players and a time to experiment.
Next season, Clemson will have a logjam at running back and wide receiver, with several offensive skill players redshirting and a 2011 recruiting class arriving that is rich in backs and receivers.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said the Tigers are considering moving Victor Beasley from tight end to linebacker and wide receiver Brandon Clear is working with defensive backs. But Swinney indicated no other position switches are in order -- yet. There is some speculation players like redshirt freshman running back Demont Buice could be in line for a position change.
"We'll evaluate all our personnel," Swinney said. "That's something you always do as a coach: looking at what you've got, experimenting. (Beasley) could be one you experiment with. Spring is also a time to do that. Vic has the ability to play either side of ball. We have to get guys in the right spots."
Davis recovering
Massive freshman offensive linemen Kalon Davis is ahead of schedule in recovering from his back surgery, according to Swinney. Davis had surgery to repair a bulging disk in his back.
"He's doing really good, really, really good," Swinney said. "I'd say he is way ahead of schedule. He looks good physically and he is moving around really well. He's got a smile on his face. He's really doing well."
Inside or outside?
Clemson has had preliminary designs drawn for an indoor practice facility, according to Tigerillustrated.com. Swinney has desired an indoor practice facility since taking over as head coach. The Tigers use Clemson's indoor track facility when weather is not conducive to practice outdoors.
He said it
Swinney is juggling bowl practice with recruiting visits this week. What is he saying to recruits after a 6-6 season?
"Big picture," Swinney said. "Since January of '09, I've talked about all the things we have gotten in place, our system is working, our process is working, the things we have spent the most time on are working. "We have spent hours upon hours on our recruiting process, how we wanted to do business, how we wanted to evaluate. The whole deal A to Z, setting things up from a support staff standpoint … it's working. That's why you can have a disappointing season and still a have a recruiting class like we have. This place is bigger than one season."
Clemson's 2011 class ranks fifth in the nation, according to Rivals.com.

The price point is sitting at the low end of the range which suggests div cuts have been mostly factored in. The top holdings as someone else on this board pointed out have increased their divs. Any div cuts would more than likely come from the cost of increased leverage costs. I would expect that the div would not be less than 1.68/yr over the rest of 2008. That is still over 11% based on Friday's close. Let me know where you are finding better returns for the risk becuase you sure aren't getting it in cash and most equities.
Uh, how about talking about how we're losing our asses in pricipal??
That's the problem, unless you keep buying with the divs at lowers prices, loosing 20-33% in principal stings regardless.
