the command
$fld = Select-String -Path mm1.txt -Pattern "jpg"
gives me this result
I now want to multiply the values which follows to ", in each line (or which can be found starting from the 23rd letter) to multiply with 3 and write them into a file mm2.txt (including some data before) that way:
whatsoever is something that always can be found in the 1st line of mm1.txt and it should be transfered to mm2.txt too.
My question is how do I do all this?
I have made some thoughts by my own and here they are:
I need to know how much lines $fld consists of. How do I do that?Then I have to separate the lines of $fld. How do I do that?Then I have to cut off 22 letters of a line to get a value which I can multiply with 3.(Or find a smarter solution for that.)Then I have to reassemble it somehow. Any ideas (belonging to that)?I would call that big string $fla and write it to mm2.txt
How do I do all this?The main problem is that I don't know the expressions.
Can you give me some hints? (Or something which is ready to work?)
Well, I can't write a ready-to-work script for you, but I'm happy to answer the questions you asked. Bear in mind that what you're asking to accomplish is quite complex - you're going to need to experiment, and end up teaching yourself quite a bit.
I need to know how much lines $fld consists of. How do I do that?
If you mean "how many lines," you'd run "Get-Content filename.txt | Measure" to get a count of lines. Assuming it's a text file. Nothing in PowerShell can natively read binary file formats (like JPG).
Then I have to separate the lines of $fld. How do I do that?
Assuming it's a text file, Get-Content will automatically read each line as a separate object. I'm not sure that's the case, but you haven't said. Your example uses JPG files; nothing in PowerShell can natively read a JPG file's binary format in a sensible fashion. But you can do something like "Get-Content filename.txt | ForEach-Object { $_ }" and the $_ will represent a single line of the text file.
Then I have to cut off 22 letters of a line to get a value which I can multiply with 3.
Use the Substr() method of the line - the line is a System.String object, and has a Substr() method. Google "System.String" and you should get to the documentation quickly.
Then I have to reassemble it somehow. Any ideas (belonging to that)?
I'm not sure what you mean by "reassemble." You can concatenate strings using the + operator.
I'm not entirely sure PowerShell is the best possible tool for this job. PowerShell doesn't have as great string-handling capabilities as, say, Perl, or even PHP. I'm not even sure you're reading text files, but your questions suggest that you are. If you aren't working with text files, then my answers won't be useful to you.

State health officials said a bird tested positive for West Nile virus in Washington County.
It's the first positive test of the year.
West Nile is spread by infected mosquitoes.
No human cases have been reported yet this year.
People can protect themselves from mosquitoes by using bug spray, making sure they have good window screens and dumping out stagnant water, where mosquitoes breed.

I like it!!!
Real Awesome looking. Love this!
I love your work, you are without doubt one of my favourite artists here! Thanks for the inspiration

Pretty neat.
I don't think I got to actually leave you a comment on this, but I wanted to! I first saw this piece and I seriosuly thought it was in ink wash or a charcoal blend. It's so different than anything else I've seen you do and it stands out great in your gallery. There is so much movement and chaos without having it be too overwhelming so you can't see all of the details like the tree at the very top. I think this piece is wonderfully done!
great piece! and quite different from your usual.
this one looks great man, nice job.. nice to see you taking things in a different direction
Very different from your usual. Nice one buddy.
loving the texture and the fine details in it!
Oooh, I definitely thought of the earth when I saw this and all the craziness does explain the earthquake concept. Cool stuff.
Wow awesome. Love the new direction!

Dude, this is so sick!!!

Looks very Good...I love it !
Man, this is amazing!
I love this! What are you using for your stuff nowadays? I see some nice brushwork in the b/g there!
Still just photoshop

We know Chelsea's first-team squad is brimming with talent, but what about the next generation of stars from the club's academy who are hopeful of becoming the next heroes of Stamford Bridge?
If recent competitions are anything to go by, the future certainly looks bright.
The Blues lifted the FA Youth Cup in 2012, and having reached the final of the NextGen Series the following season—losing to Aston Villa—it is clear that Jose Mourinho has a pool of talented players to consider for promotion up the ranks.
So who has what it takes to make the grade?
Bleacher Report runs the rule over three youngsters who are making a name for themselves in West London. They may be relative unknowns, but if their progress continues, 2014 could be the year we begin to learn far more about them.

You are hereWhat you should know before traveling out of the country
What you should know before traveling out of the country
Many things go through your mind when developing a website. Have you told enough or too much? What we try to tell here is the truth.
I believe a good hunting consultant should at least have a philosophy and a mission. My philosophy is that I should teach what I know about 40 years of hunting with a bow worldwide so as to make your adventure more rewarding, comfortable and less costly. My mission is to simply provide you with the best possible hunt at the lowest possible price, never sacrificing quality.
Here are some of the more common questions clients ask:
Travel Documents: Passports are now mandatory in all countries including Canada and Mexico. You may also need a visa, depending on the country you visit. Sometimes you need to work on this in advance of your trip, other times it is a document simply filled out upon your arrival in the visited country. Always follow the rules and laws of the country you visit. We have a very liberal society here in the US. This is not always the case in foreign countries.
South Africa Gun Permit - You may open the Gun Permit and print it from our web site.
Injections: Do I need a bunch of painful injections to go to Africa? The answer is no most of the time. They are not painful in any case. Just be up to date on your normal immunizations. Consult your physician and/or the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta for up to date information about the country you intend to visit. The same applies for Malaria prevention.
What about new gun laws in Canada? If you are a Canadian or US Citizen please call 1-800-731-4000. This is the Canadian Firearms Center. They will help you with obtaining the proper forms. The firearms declaration costs $50 Canadian no matter how many guns you bring into Canada. You may no longer import a gun without this permit. Pistols are absolutely forbidden in Canada. You do not need a permit to import a bow.
What about gun laws in UK, Holland and Africa? If you fly to London with firearms and land at Heathrow, but must transfer to Gatwick Airport your firearms will not follow unless they are "in bond". A special person or service must handle them, otherwise they may be confiscated. If you fly to Amsterdam you may experience similar problems. You must carefully check this before you leave the US. South Africa has recently revised their documents for temporary importation of firearms in country. It is a lengthy document and must be filled out beforehand but not signed until you meet directly with the officials. It may take a while and it is better to hire one of the local services who handle this situation expertly. The same forms apply if you are "in transit" in Johannesburg, going on to another African country. You will need to have a service hand deliver your firearms to the plane as there are no provisions in South Africa for holding or storing firearms. Please contact me or your travel agent about the details.
Travel Agents: It is important to have a travel agent familiar with hunters and the off beat places they travel. These agents should be up to date on the latest information about carrying weapons and ammunition aboard commercial airliners - US and foreign. These type agents will save you time, money and headaches. I can refer you to the proper people if you so desire.
Update on Prices: We will periodically update any price changes for cost of hunts or trophy and license fees. Physical Condition and Health: Know the physical requirements of the hunt you are undertaking. The better physical condition you are in the better the result of the hunt usually applies. If you have any medical problems, take medication or need a special diet please consult your physician for approval before embarking on your trip. Please also notify your booking agent and outfitter too. Don't make them the last to know!
Now, having said all the above, go out and have a good time hunting, fishing or whatever it is you like to do in this great outdoors. Life is really too short.
Good hunting and good luck,
Chuck Leidheiser, President WorldClass Safaris, Inc.

Family time, or time spent with those we love, is incredibly important. We are relational people by nature so we crave time with one another. Making time for relationships to make them positive and successful is even good for our physical and mental well-being. But with school in full swing and schedules certainly not letting up as hoiday season looms closer, creating time can be hard.
Dr. Michelle Robertson, a marriage and family therapist associated with Friends University, had some great advice on scheduling family time. She stressed not to feel pressured to make it happen, but to just carve out any amount of time to be together no matter how brief. Here are some suggestions for ways to do so:
- Have a conversation
- Go to a movie
- Play a game
- Eat a meal together
- Go out for ice cream
- Take a walk
The important thing to remember is that family time does NOT need to cost much or anything at all. What matters is getting some time together to catch up and reconnect. Start your day off with coffee with a family member or unwind at the end of a long day with your kids. No matter how large or small an amount of time, carve it out and make it happen!

'Lack of understanding' on state pensions, Age UK
Over 94 per cent of people feel their state pension will not provide them with an adequate level of support in their retirement, an Age UK and Future Foundation survey has revealed.
Earlier this week, the Department for Work and Pensions's data showed that around 130,000 people are receiving £7 or less a week and the same number are getting £230 or more a week.
Gordon Morris, managing director of Age UK Enterprises, said the figures showed how "complex" the state pension system can be.
He said: "These complexities have led to a real lack of understanding amongst the general population about what they will receive when they retire."
Of the 1,000 who were surveyed by Future Foundation, 70 per cent believe that there is too little information provided about pensions.
This lack of understanding has created a culture of uncertainty, and some of this uncertainty is justified, Mr Morris said.
Age UK's latest Silver RPI study in June 2012 revealed that costs continue to remain higher for those in later life. In the last year over 75s experienced inflation at 3.39 per cent compared to an average of 3.06 per cent. In addition, over 55s have been particularly affected by falling annuity rates, which have reduced real purchasing power over the past year.
Mr Morris said: "Given this, it was seriously concerning that three quarters of the 60 to 65-year olds we spoke to said they were not saving for a pension. This is probably why half of them expect to supplement their pensions and fund their retirement via their savings accounts.
The DWP said it will be simplifying the state pension by replacing the current complex system with a flat-rate state pension for new new pensioners set above the level of the means test, currently estimated at around £140 per week.
Mr Morris said: "Plans to introduce a fairer, flat-rate state pension for future pensioners are very welcome but we believe the government must also look at ways to include current pensioners in any reforms.
"It can't be emphasised enough that financial planning can make an enormous difference to people's lives. Statistics like these highlight the importance of financial planning in advance of retirement, so that the funding is in place for older people to enjoy the later stages of their life.
"Set against a backdrop of record low interest rates, rising inflation and increasing life expectancy retirement is likely to be longer than ever, meaning many are faced with a lower level of income."

Definition of triple time in English:
triple time
Musical time with three beats to the bar.
Example sentences
- Anthems written for the Chapel Royal at this time make much use of jaunty dotted rhythms in triple time, with accompaniments, ritornellos, and overtures for violins.
- A gentle and lyrical andantino in triple time with a lilting rhythm and an emotional central section ended intimately, in stillness.
- The second issue, the interpretation of time signatures and the relationship between duple and triple time, is more controversial.

Federation of American Society of Experimental Biology Journal 19: A1475:(844.18) Technical Abstract: The antioxidant effects of vitamin C are well established but vitamin C may also function as a prooxidant. We administered a standard EDTA chelation cocktail solution with or without 5 g of sodium ascorbate intravenously to five subjects. Oxidative stress markers including plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), protein thiol groups (SH), total and oxidized glutathione (GSHt and GSSG), DNA damage and antioxidant enzymes were measured for each subject before and after each therapy session. One hour following the intravenous intake of vitamin C, there were highly significant prooxidant effects on lipids, proteins and DNA associated with decreased activities of RBC glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase. For example, plasma MDA increased 29%, DNA damage, based on the comet assay, increased 38% and total thiol groups decreased 18%. Under the same conditions but without added vitamin C, there were no signs of oxidative damage. These data demonstrate that vitamin C administered intravenously may display strong prooxidant effects. The amount of vitamin C given intravenously should be closely monitored and the antioxidant/prooxidant effects should be established before inclusion of vitamin C in intravenous solutions.

Radio talk show hosts must be slobbering on themselves. So much news to banter about. Heavy, heavy penalties for the New Orleans Saints and Bountygate. Tebow traded to Jets. Or is he? And Stephen Strasburg named the opening-day starter for the Nats.
But first, some Chargers news.
Is Antonio Gates more popular than Philip Rivers? Apparently in some circles. Gates won the fan vote to represent the Chargers in The Madden NFL 13 Cover voting contest.
The Madden NFL 13 Cover vote officially kicks off today after more than 4 million fans voted during two weeks of play-in round action. The fans chose the 32 NFL players who advanced and will compete for the honor to become the cover athlete of Madden NFL 13.
Gates bested Rivers and now goes head-to-head against Dwight Freeney of the Indianapolis Colts during first-round voting.
Today and continuing through April 25, fans can log on to ESPN.com to vote daily for their favorite cover athlete candidate.

Now, some Tebow-related tweets
Divine intervention. RT @PeterBotte Brilliant. RT @JoeAuriemmaYES: Report about Tebow trade possibly getting nullified came out at (John) 3:16 PM"
It's late in free agency.The Jets have done nothing. Been rejected plenty. Tebow becomes available. This is a SMALL risk the Jets could take
@chaddukes: Tebow does not fit the with the #Jets. Should make for an interesting implosion. I will relish it
@MattDunnSNY: Former Jet Kris Jenkins on his reaction to hearing the team traded for Tim Tebow: "I threw up in my mouth."
Or high-profile backup who can't throw and will split team. RT @fran_the_man Tebow is high upside, sells tickets, costs nothing. #nobrainer

A few words from one of the:
Top Orthopedic Surgeons in New York
Our Mission: The goal of treatment at Prestige Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine is to get you back to sports, work and life, as quickly as possible and to the best of your ability. Many times this can be done without surgery, but sometimes it may require it. I have incorporated many special non-operative, operative, and post-operative techniques in my practice that will allow you to get better faster. These techniques also allow you to recover from surgery with less pain.
Most of my patients do not even take narcotics after surgery!
As I am board certified in both Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, I see all conditions of the entire body related to sports (including fractures) but have limited myself to only a handful of outpatient arthroscopic surgical procedures in the shoulder and knee. I feel this allows me to excel in these surgeries, much like a professional athlete can be the best at his/her sport but would probably not be the world's greatest in another sport.
Orthopedic Surgeries in NYC
The main focus of the surgical part of my practice includes ACL reconstructive surgery, ACL revision surgery and meniscus surgery in the knee. Labral tear shoulder surgery, and rotator cuff surgery. If I feel you really need some kind of surgery that I do not do, I will help you see someone in the top of their field in that area, as I have developed a network of excellence in all aspects of orthopaedic surgery.
As a former high-level athlete, I have been on the other side of the table many times, and understand what you are going through all too well. I use these experiences not only to help you understand what is going on and how to handle it better, but also to develop techniques to help you achieve your goals faster and more completely.
As a Johns Hopkins trained biomedical engineer, I incorporate the engineering approach of problem solving to patient care. Instead of choosing treatment plans like a multiple choice test, I treat each patient as an individual, looking at short and long term goals, as well as the big picture. This helps create a unique plan for each patient, which optimizes recovery.
New York City Sports Medicine Methodology
My staff and I treat every patient with the same respect and care as we would a family member. There are same day appointment slots kept open for emergencies, and we only book 2 patients each hour to give ample time to discover the correct diagnosis and create the proper treatment plan. You will never feel rushed, but you can request to be seen more quickly if you have to get to a meeting or event. I take extra-time to listen to you, examine your problem, and then explain to you exactly what is wrong and how to treat it in the manner that is best for you. All options are explored and explained so that you can easily choose the best option that suits you.
Our conveniently located midtown office makes is easy to contact and visit one of the top orthopedic surgeons in New York City and includes an open MRI scan and instantaneous X-ray machine with motion view capability for immediate diagnosis. The MRI scans usually can be done at the time of your visit.
You will have 24-hour personal access to me, by cell, text, or e-mail. Therefore, when you are trying to reach me for advice, you will be able to speak directly to me not an assistant. Likewise, when performing surgery, you are entrusting me to do my best to make you better. Therefore, I do all surgeries "skin to skin", meaning I personally make the incisions, perform the surgery, and do plastic surgery closures.
You don't have to be a professional athlete to be treated like one! While I take care of many professional athletes, musicians, actors and CEO's from all over the world, every one is treated equally. In essence, every patient receives concierge old-fashioned medical care, with all the advancements of modern cutting-edge orthopaedic technology.
I look forward to helping you get back in the game. FASTER!

Lorber worked with pitchers and catchers and ran the team defense while at Felician. Under Lorber's guidance, the Felician pitching staff set a school record for ERA (3.31) in 2011.
Prior to his stint at Felician, he was an Associate Head Coach at Eastern University in St. David, Pa. where he was responsible for the pitching, player development for hitters and team defense.
In 2010, Eastern set a school record with 21 wins after winning just three games the season before in addition to lowering the team ERA by five points.
Lorber was a two-year letterwinner at Central Connectcut State University, leading the Blue Devils to the finals of the 2007 Northeast Conference tournament.
Lorber graduated with a bachelor's degree from Central Connecticut in 2008.

Adorably Portable Products
Instead of spending money on dry shampoo, use baby powder. Baby powder instantly revives hair. Apply at the hairline and crown, and follow with a conditioning product like Ted Gibson Tame it Shine Lotion, $20.
The sun's rays can be really drying. Nourish your puntas with leave-in conditioners and nourishing oils. We love Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream, $33, and Kitoko Oil Treatment, $26.70, which tames frizzy hair.

Who was your sporting hero growing up?
Gavin Hastings, the Scotland rugby captain. I played rugby at school and, when I was around 10, he came to training one day. I was overjoyed to meet my hero like that.
When did you realise you would become an elite sportsman?
Not until I was called into the Great Britain team in 1996, for a World Cup event. That was when I realised "oh, this is where I can become a top cyclist".
If you hadn't been a sportsman what would you be doing?
I have no idea! Before I transferred to Edinburgh to further my cycling and study sports science, I was in the middle of a physics degree! So I probably would have completed that and done something with it. What, I don't know...
What was the first record or CD you bought?
I'm not sure if it counts but it was a comedy album called 'All Aboard', a compilation of comic songs like 'The Laughing Policeman' and 'Goodness Gracious Me'. But the first proper album was 'Brothers in Arms' by Dire Straits. I had it on cassette, I was around eight.
What was the most recent music you bought or downloaded?
It hasn't arrived yet, but I have pre-ordered the new deadmau5 album.
What was your first car?
A second-hand BMW 318.
If you could change one thing about cycling, what would it be?
Its image. The Tour de France drug scandals. It's changing, but it would be great to draw a line under it so we don't have these occasional positive tests that continue to tarnish it. We're getting there.
And finally, are the wheels really rounder?
Ha! It's ironic because, of all the times the French could have made comments about our technological advantages, they picked the one where our bikes were made in France, by a French company!
The 2012 Gillette 'Great Starts' campaign celebrates community coaches and inspires the next generation of coaches by providing them with grants to fund their next level qualifications. The campaign concluded at an event attended by ambassadors Sir Chris Hoy and Liam Tancock who celebrated with the successful recipients of this year's grants.

Proactive advising (formerly known as Intrusive Academic Advising) was defined by the work of Robert Glennen. Glennen took developmental advising theory one step further to help advisors reach out to students. Programs utilizing proactive academic advising build structures that incorporate intervention strategies mandating advising contacts for students who otherwise might not seek advising.

Asia Times06/26/2012By Brian M Downing [Printer Friendly Version]
The international effort to limit Iran's nuclear research has no more ardent a supporter than Israel. Iran, according to some analysts in and out of Israel, is seeking to build nuclear weapons and is almost certain to use them on Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities, making pre-emptive attacks on Iran essential to national survival. The US and European Union (EU) are more skeptical regarding Iran's intentions - as are even many Israeli experts.
Only Saudi Arabia and a few other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states share Israel's alarm and hence support immediate, punishing attacks on Iran. Saudi Arabia is said to have offered overflight rights for Israeli strike aircraft and also help with refueling for their return flights. Strange bedfellows in the affairs of the world. But how enduring will this partnership be? Do the two powers have different endgames in mind? A look at Israeli foreign policy toward Iran over the past 50 years suggests different long-term objectives may be in mind. In short, Saudi Arabia almost certainly wants Iran gravely weakened. Israel does not.
The rise and fall of Iranian-Israeli partnership
Lost in the almost two decades of enmity between Iran and Israel is appreciation that they were allies for many years. Their partnership was based on a shared concern over the power and ambitions of Arab states. The latter opposed the creation of Israel and fought it several times over the years.
Iran under Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi opposed those same Arab states. Arab-Persian animosities from distant conquests commingled with geopolitical rivalry, border disputes, and dislike for mercurial populist dictators and Wahhabi zealots. An enduring community of interest with Israel developed and remained a steadfast part of regional geopolitics for 40 years. The shah sold oil to Israel and in return received military equipment and intelligence.
The fall of the shah in 1979 changed many things in the region, but not the Iranian-Israeli partnership. Geopolitical interests continued to triumph over religious differences. Israel proved valuable to Iran during the long war with Iraq - a war brought on by a mercurial populist dictator backed by Wahhabi zealots. Israel continued to sell and service equipment. It was a lesson in realpolitik.
Relations deteriorated in the 1990s as a new strategic situation emerged when the Iraqi military was badly mauled in the first Gulf War (1991). Saddam Hussein's army, already weakened from eight years of war with Iran, took very heavy casualties and his armor was devastated. Saddam, for reasons of his own, ferried off most of his fighter aircraft to his erstwhile enemy, Iran - presumably to keep them safe. Iran has kept them safe ever since.
Iran became relatively more powerful in the region. There was no check on the revolutionary Shi'ite power, and its influence was growing in Lebanon and Syria along Israel's northern and eastern boundaries. With Egypt signed off on a peace agreement and Iraq's military in ruins, Iran became Israel's primary strategic concern. The soundness of this astonishing change in perspective may be debated for quite some time but its importance for ongoing events is clear. Years of partnership ended and a period of growing tension began. [1]
Israel looks ahead
Today, international sanctions are stifling the Iranian economy and punishing air strikes loom, though not as ominously as a few months ago. Saudi Arabia will press for decisive military action including extensive air campaigns on nuclear research targets and key industrial centers as well. It will also seek an effort to fragment Iran by encouraging insurrections in Kurdish, Arab and Baloch regions. This would leave Tehran a gravely weakened country, and Riyadh the undisputed master of the Gulf. [2]
Dealing a devastating blow to Iran from the air and fragmenting its territorial integrity will have considerable appeal among Israeli strategic thinkers. It would be a tremendous security boon for the country and for its long-standing Kurdish allies in Iran, Iraq and Syria. However, adverse implications will readily appear to strategic thinkers looking further ahead than just the next few years. The firm knowledge that wars lead to unforeseen events and that the Arab world is entering a new, unpredictable period will give Israel much to ponder.
The rise of Saudi power in the region could one day lead to the coalescence of Sunni states under Riyadh's political and financial leadership. Saudi Arabia and other GCC states are military nullities of course, but they can use their financial assets to garner support in the region, especially from Egypt, Syria, and Sunni parts of western Iraq. Those countries all have significant military traditions; they all need foreign aid; and they all dislike Israel.
Better, then, to concentrate on halting Iran's nuclear program and even detaching Iran from Syria, but not on gravely weakening and fragmenting the country. Today's nemesis can be tomorrow's ally, as even a look into just the past 25 years will reveal. Iran was once an ally against Arab states and may be one again, if only out of the turbulent dynamics of regional geopolitics that have been made all the more changing by recent wars and uprisings.
The US and the EU seek, at least in the long term (and probably the very long term), to help bring democracy to Iran. From the perspective of Israel, however, a democratic Iran, while desirable in principle, would not necessarily be non-nuclear or friendly. The key to Israeli-Iranian comity was based on geopolitical interests, not the goodwill of a shah or ayatollah or president.

According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, a mother is a woman in authority and a person who provides care and affection – but it doesn't say much about the sacrifices many women make for their children.
This year's Mother of the Year award was presented July 13 at the Owen County 4-H Fair and Horse Show to a woman who knows a thing or two about sacrifice.
N-H Staff Writer
Year after year, an unsuspecting citizen of Owen County arrives at the Owen County fairgrounds pavilion during fair week for a special reason. Some think they're there to see a friend win an award or to watch a family member in one of the pageants.
In March, the Owen County Fiscal Court approved a 3-percent transient room tax (lodging tax). Owen countians could soon see the effects of the tax placed on those traveling through the county.
According to the lodging tax ordinance, it includes motor courts, motels, hotels, inns or similar accommodations. The ordinance also includes campgrounds.
The fiscal court recently approved the appointment of seven local citizens to a tourism commission, which was required by the ordinance.
Few products offer individuals the opportunity to save more than they spend. Starting in this edition, the News-Herald will give readers this opportunity with the return of SmartSource coupons.
Inside the News-Herald each week, readers will find a coupon package regularly valued at more than $100 in savings through manufacturer, retail and restaurant coupons. Subscribers will usually find they can recoup the cost of a News-Herald subscription in just one week of coupon savings.
The sun is bright and it is a beautiful day here in the clerk's office. We are preparing for both the special election on July 26 and for the delinquent real estate tax bill sale July 25.
On July 26, voters will go to the polls to vote on the question: "Are you in favor of the sale of alcoholic beverages in Owen County?"
On a typical Sunday morning, the pews at Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church are filled with about 200 people, some who are descendants of those who founded the church in 1836.
This Sunday, the church will relive 175 years worth of memories through stories, pictures and videos.
The Owen County Visioneers have deemed the first Owen County Fan Fair a "huge" success.
The event took place July 6-10 at Owen County's industrial park. Its goal was to introduce those attending the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Kentucky Speedway to the many things Owen County has to offer.
Visitors who attended Fan Fair came from 24 different states and Canada. States ranged from Maine to Kansas, from Texas to California, as well as Florida to Wisconsin.
As the annual Owen County 4-H Fair & Horse Show got into full swing Monday, another Miss Owen County was crowned.
Madison Gamble, the 16-year-old daughter of Kelley and Teena Gamble, received the crown over 10 other contestants.
Gamble was also named Miss Photogenic.
Brittany Clark was the third runner-up, Danielle Hoop was second runner-up and Christina Johnson was first runner-up.
Christina Ueltschi was named Miss Congeniality.
Unlike many girls who compete for years in pageants, Gamble said this was her first pageant.
In an effort to welcome visitors to Owen County, three new signs have been posted along the major highways into the community. Working together, the Owen County Extension Service, the Owen County Fiscal Court and the Owen County Visioneers designed and placed the signs. The front of the signs contains a welcome message, a county logo and the slogan, "Where Community Matters." On the back of the signs, one of the quilt patterns that adorns an area barn is reproduced along with the pattern's name and the words "Come Back Soon."
Nearly 300 people turned out Wednesday to a sneak at peek at some of the unique animals of Australia that have found a home at Kentucky Down Under, a privately-owned park in Horse Cave.
The animals that stopped by included Mirrhi, a baby kangaroo; Merlin, a cockatoo; Hunter, a blue-tounged skink; and Forrest, a python from the Australian rain forest.
The show was part of the rewards for taking part in this year's Owen County Public Library Summer Reading program. Following the program, guests were treated to snow cones and cotton candy.

A generation ago, psychiatrists were very familiar with anticholinergic adverse effects due to the common use of tricyclic antidepressants and typical antipsychotics with concomitant anticholinergic drugs to manage extrapyramidal symptoms. However, since the introduction of atypical antipsychotics and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), prescribers generally appear to have become less mindful of the anticholinergic neuropsychiatric effects that can occur in vulnerable patient populations, such as the elderly. In conjunction with this development, the proportion of older patients seen by most psychiatrists has risen.

Bob Kerr goes for extra bases again in his piece on the Republican Party ('Two things that just don't go together,'' Aug. 17 column). One can sum up the message with the cliche, "Lead, follow or get out of the way." "The Party of No" is doing none of the three. They say "no" to everything and offer nothing in return.
The Affordable Care Act is a good example. The health-care system in this country is ranked 37th in the world in effectiveness by The World Health Organization and is bankrupting the country.
The status quo is not an option. If you don't like the ACA, okay, but offer something in exchange. Don't just get in the way. He's also right that we shouldn't blindly be endorse all things Republican or Democratic. Be independent in thought and action. Don't just listen to Fox Republican propaganda and spew back their bumper sticker thin palaver: study, think and act independently.
Thank you, Bob Kerr.

Bethel School Summer Open Houses will resume on Sunday, June 30 from 1-4 p.m., with a special presentation at 2 p.m. by the Master Penman, Thomas M. Wasylyk.
You may know him as a martial arts instructor, but Wasylyk is a nationally recognized authority on handwriting and the author of numerous books and articles about handwriting. He will demonstrate the art and technique of beautiful penmanship and explain its importance in learning.
Wasylyk has conducted research in the area of handwriting, and has developed many styles of the alphabet in use in the United States today, including the Zaner Bloser system.
Why should handwriting be mastered even in this age of technology?
Find out at the historic one-room Bethel School why learning penmanship, the act of writing, is such an important skill for reasons you probably never thought of.
Bethel School is located near the "Poor Farm" on Bethel School Road off Route 652.
Everyone is welcome. Light refreshments will be served. As always, admission is free.
Bethel School Open Houses are sponsored by the Wayne County Historical Society. For information, call the Wayne County Historical Society or email Dorothy at email@example.com.

Partial Budgets
A partial budget is used to calculate the effect on business margins (and thus profits) of a proposed change in a portion of the farm business. It uses only the costs and returns that alter as a result of the proposed change, providing an indication of the potential improvement in business performance and a measure of how existing farm enterprises, and the business as a whole, may be financially affected.
As an example applicable to a dairy unit, it is possible to estimate the effect on the farm business of contracting-out the rearing of replacement heifers. It means that the costs associated with labour, feed, provision of housing and bedding will all be significantly reduced, but must account for the extra cost of paying the contract rearer.
By budgeting these savings and proposed costs, it is possible to assess whether the planned change is financially viable. Of course there may be other benefits of a change to the business that are not financially-related and these need to be taken into account, but the partial budget is the first consideration when assessing such changes.
The partial budget should include the projected extra revenue, in the case of a capital investment, and this figure can be used to calculate payback time and expected Return on Investment.
A simple means of setting-out a partial budget is described here.

Bill to expand background checks for gun sales fail in House
A proposal to expand background checks on Washington state gun sales has failed in the state House.
Democratic Rep. Jamie Pedersen of Seattle said Tuesday night he was unable to corral the 50 votes necessary to pass the bill through the chamber. Pedersen says he was disappointed by the result, coming even after he agreed to add a referendum clause to the bill.
Gun buyers currently must undergo a background check when they purchase a weapon from a federally licensed firearms dealer. Pedersen's proposal would have extended background checks to cover private gun transactions.
The National Rifle Association had been advocating in the state in recent weeks to block the bill, with opponents of the measure saying it wouldn't stop gun violence.

World Military Expenditures and Arms Transfers 1998
Fact Sheet Released by the Bureau of Verification and Compliance
U.S. Department of State, Washington, DC, August 21, 2000
(See complete report)
Military Expenditures
- World military spending rose to $842 billion in 1997, a 2% increase over the previous year. This may represent the beginning of an upturn in the world trend, following a 1995-96 low that had fallen 60% from the 1987 peak level.
- The spending of the developed countries rose slightly in 1997 to $610 billion after bottoming in the previous year at 54% of the 1987-88 peak.
- Developing country spending, on the other hand, has been growing since 1993-94 and reached a new historic high of $232 billion in 1997. The developing share of world spending was 28%, rising from 17% a decade earlier.
- Regional shares of world military spending shifted over the 1987-1997 period, as Eastern Europe's share, in particular, fell from 35 to 8% with the collapse of communism. At the same time, there was over a doubling of the shares of East Asia (from 9 to 21%) and South Asia (0.9 to 2%), with growing shares by North America (29 to 34%), Western Europe (16 to 22%), and South America (1.6 to 2.4%).
- The OECD countries accounted for 62% of world military spending in 1997, up from 48% a decade earlier. The NATO share rose from 44 to 54%.
- In the half-decade of 1993-1997, rising spending trends were seen in East Asia, South America, South Asia, and North Africa. The main decline was in Eastern Europe, particularly Russia.
- United States spending in 1997 made up 33% of the world total, compared to 27% in 1987 and a high of 36% in 1993. This was despite having declining spending trends over the decade as well as the latter half-decade, since the rest of the world declined more rapidly.
- The world's top 10 military spenders in 1997 were (in billions):
United States $276 billion United Kingdom $35 billion China - Mainland 75 (rough estimate) Germany 33 Russia 42 ( " " ) Italy 23 France 42 Saudi Arabia 22 Japan 41 South Korea 15
Arms Imports
- The world arms trade rose sharply in 1997 to $55 billion, a 23% increase over 1996, following a precipitous drop by nearly one half from the 1987 all-time high of $81.5 billion to $42 billion in 1994 (in 1997 dollars).
- Most of the previous decline had been in the arms imports of developing countries, whose 1994 bottom was under 40% of its 1987 peak. Developed country arms imports were fairly steady over the decade, with a low in 1995. As a result, the developing and developed shares of world imports went from about 70:30 in 1987 to roughly 50:50 in 1997.
- Three importing regions -- the Middle East, East Asia, and Western Europe -- accounted for over 80% of the world trade in 1997. In 1987, their share had been under two-thirds. Middle East imports alone were over one-third of the total in both years; East Asia's share more than doubled to reach 30% in 1997; Western Europe's imports declined moderately.
- In the three-year 1995-1997 period, the main importing regions and their world share were (in billions of current dollars):
Middle East $53.1 38% East Asia 35.5 25 Western Europe 25.8 18 North America 5.3 4 South America 4.2 3 Oceania 4.0 3
- In this period, the leading arms importing countries were the following (in billions):
Saudi Arabia $31.3 Turkey $4.9 China - Taiwan 12.5 United Kingdom 4.5 Japan 6.8 South Korea 4.2 Egypt 5.3 United States 3.8 Kuwait 5.0 United Arab Emir. 3.8
Arms Exports
- World arms exports (equal to world arms imports) rose 23% in 1997 to $54.6 billion, or about two-thirds of the all-time high a decade earlier. The increase went mainly to East Asia and the Middle East.
- The top arms exporting regions in 1997 were North America with 59% of the world total (of which the U.S. had 58%), Western Europe - 30%, Eastern Europe - 7%, and East Asia - 2.5%. By comparison, in 1987 Eastern Europe (mainly the Soviet Union) lead with 44%, North America had 29%, and Western Europe, 19%.
- In 1995-1997, the main exporting countries were (in billions of current dollars):
United States $77.8 55% Germany $3.8 3% United Kingdom 18.0 13 Sweden 3.1 2 France 12.0 8 China - Mainland 2.4 2 Russia 9.2 7 Israel 2.0 1
- U.S. exports in this period went mainly (55%) to developed countries, and 24% went to NATO countries. The shares of U.S. exports by recipient region were:
Middle East 33% Oceania 3% Europe 28 Africa <1 East Asia 27 South Asia >1 The Americas 4 Non-regional 4
- The top recipients of U.S. arms exports in 1995-1997 were (in billions):
Saudi Arabia $13.7 Turkey $3.1 China - Taiwan 8.1 Kuwait 2.9 Japan 6.8 South Korea 2.9 Egypt 4.6 Israel 2.6 United Kingdom 4.4 Germany 2.4
- The ratio of the number of major weapon imports to the dollar volume of arms imports indicates that developed counties import fewer major weapons and more of other items (parts, accessories, services, etc.) than do developing countries.
- In terms of the number of major weapons exported during the 1995-1997 period, the U.S. was the primary supplier with 34% of the world total, followed by Russia, 19%, and France, 12%. France was the largest supplier in the 1992-1994 period.
- Over the 12 year period 1986-1997, the largest supplier of major weapons was the Soviet Union/Russia combination with 29% of the total, followed by France (26%), the United States (13%), China (4%), and the United Kingdom and Germany (3%).
- The Middle East lead in major weapon imports in 1995-1997, followed by Western Europe, East Asia, South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia.
Other Indicators
- Countries with the top 10 armed forces in 1997 were (in thousands):
China - Mainland 2,600 Turkey 822 United States 1,532 South Korea 670 Russia 1,300 Vietnam 650 India 1,265 Pakistan 610 North Korea 1,100 Iran 575
- The world's military burden, as commonly measured by the ratio of military expenditures to GNP, dropped to 2.6% in 1997 from 5.2% a decade earlier. In 1997, it was nearly the same for developed (2.5%) and developing (2.7%) countries. By region it ranged from 7.6% in the Middle East to 1.5% in Central America and the Caribbean.
- In another measure of burden, the ratio of military expenditures to central government expenditures (which may take better account of a country's ability to finance its military effort), the developed countries by 1997 fell to a smaller burden (9.4%), than the developing countries (13.3%). The Middle East burden of 22.7% was again the highest, while Western Europe had the lowest, 5.5%.
- The ratio of military expenditures to population, a rough indicator of the cost of military security, dropped nearly in half, from $271 in 1987 to $145 in 1997 for the world. The decline was primarily in developed countries, where it fell from $909 to $525. In developing countries, it fell from $62 to $50.
- In 1997, 7 of the top 10 countries in terms of this measure were in the Middle East (in dollars per capita):
Israel $1,690 Saudi Arabia $1,050 Singapore 1,650 United States 1,030 Kuwait 1,500 United Arab Emir. 1,020 Qatar NA Bahrain 880 Brunei 1,220 Oman 790
- The ratio of military expenditures per member of the armed forces may serve as rough measure of the level of military technology in a country. In terms of this measure, the developed countries have declined from an average of $99,000 per serviceman in 1988 to $85,000 in 1997. The developing country average, on the other hand, rose to a new high of $15,400.
- In 1997, this measure ranged from a high of $180,000 in the U.S. to under $1,000 in several countries.

Taylor's AMA Date: Her Brother
"To take him into my world for a second, it made me feel really good to be winning," Taylor tells Access Hollywood.
Some folks were wondering who that guy was in the crowd that Taylor kept hugging when she racked up three wins Sunday (Nov. 20) at the American Music Awards.
But her fans know that's her brother, Austin, her occasional date to these awards shows.
Taylor was glad that her bro was next to her when she picked up another AMA trophy for the top prize, artist of the year.
"It really was wonderful that my brother was here to see that," Taylor told Access Hollywood backstage.
"He's usually at college. He goes to college and just lives a completely different life than me," Taylor said. "To take him into my world for a second, it made me feel really good to be winning."

I'm sure these discussions will lead to much larger battles throughout the basketball season as one, we'll call him co-worker A, is proud of his home town squad that dons red and black. Co-worker B, bleeds orange and black and holds no other team even remotely close to the same level as his 'boys.'
The comments keep flying about who came from where and why this one or that one ended up with what high school diploma, why some people should or shouldn't dye their hair white-blonde, you catch my drift right?
"Social misfits..." "That's the bitterness talking..." This is a wonderful working environment. I love it.
This one tops it off though...
"I claim Scott County. I could claim Stoddard, I could even claim New Madrid, but I claim Scott. I'm from Scott County, but I'm from SOUTH Scott County, don't get me wrong."
So, brace yourselves if you strike up a conversation with the guys from the SD, you could be in for quite a treat. You'll either laugh or cry. Or, in an extreme case, you may get raging mad and consider alternative methods of disposing of my co-workers. Please don't harm them, co-worker C and myself can't cover four games a night without them. Plus, you'd make the work day go a lot longer without their Seinfeld-esque quotes.
Okay, enough about work, let's talk a little bit, and I mean a little bit, about baseball. With the Hot Stove reports flying all over ESPN about what MLB team is trading for which overpaid player, I couldn't help myself when I stumbled upon some nice information on mosports.com.
The item of the day, St. Louis Cardinals baseball. The objective, the rumor wheel pertaining to the next, brace yourself, shortstop or second baseman for the Redbirds. For starters, it was stated that David Eckstein has intangibles that translate into wins. I, for one, couldn't help but let out a guffaw ( -- noun. a loud, unrestrained burst of laughter) once I ran across the Eck's name. Even funnier in this post, was one person suggesting that they pull off a deal with Luis Sojo, a former Yankee from the late 90's, because of his intangibles on his championship squads.
One guy busts out all the supporters and haters however, as he stated that intangibles is just a code word for 'he's a bad player but I like him.' Ouch. Seriously, what more could the Cardinals ask of Aaron Miles as an everyday second baseman? He's 'reached the league age limit of turning 13 before August 1' (also a bust on there) and he's been a solid producer for the Redbirds for quite some time. This is a never ending cycle, but that's okay, it fuels my fire and wins me brownie points with a few friends, a.k.a. 'Davie lovers.'
That's all for this week. Enjoy the All SD football selections and brace yourselves MU fans for a nice game Saturday with the Sooners. Kansas?

MUMBAI: Indian school kids are shifting their career aspirations and social life to the digital world. Over 70% of the new generation of digital natives, who use personal computers, are students from the metros, according to a survey conducted by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).
The survey conducted across 14,000 high school children in 12 cities found that over 93% of the participants were aware of social networking sites and used it in some way in their daily life. "The TCS Generation Web 2.0 survey confirms that today's students are shifting their academic and social life online and embracing the digital world as true digital natives," said the IT major's CEO and MD S Ramadorai.

Combining with an extracellular signal and transmitting the signal across the membrane by activating an associated G-protein; promotes the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha subunit of a heterotrimeric G-protein complex.
A series of molecular signals initiated by the binding of a chemokine to a receptor on the surface of a cell, and ending with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription.
The directed movement of a motile cell or organism, or the directed growth of a cell guided by a specific chemical concentration gradient. Movement may be towards a higher concentration (positive chemotaxis) or towards a lower concentration (negative chemotaxis).
A series of molecular signals that proceeds with an activated receptor promoting the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha-subunit of an associated heterotrimeric G-protein complex. The GTP-bound activated alpha-G-protein then dissociates from the beta- and gamma-subunits to further transmit the signal within the cell. The pathway begins with receptor-ligand interaction, or for basal GPCR signaling the pathway begins with the receptor activating its G protein in the absence of an agonist, and ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. The pathway can start from the plasma membrane, Golgi or nuclear membrane (PMID:24568158 and PMID:16902576).
Any immune system process that functions in the calibrated response of an organism to a potential internal or invasive threat.

Hi All,
I want to know what is a Custom Controller in CRM Web Client / CRM Web UI ?
Also, what is its exact purpose ?
if anybody has any documents on the same, could you please mail me on firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks in advance,
Each time a view controller and a view is called, the context manages the instantiation of the context
nodes. However, when the view is no longer visible, it is removed from memory. This also removes the
context and context nodes and the data.
However, sometimes it makes sense to keep the data in memory while a view is not displayed. For
example, to pass data from one view to another or in case the user wants to navigate back to the view.
Data can be shared between different view controllers so the retrieval of data from the BOL can be
reduced. This can be realized by custom controllers that have an unrestricted lifespan.
I just copied this from Cook book. Hope you got whats it for..
Hi Sreekantha,
Thanks for the reply.
Can you please send me a copy of the cookbook on the above mentioned email ID ???
Would be very helpful !!!!

Kate Hudson's new man joins her family vacation
The muse rocker after performing at Britain's Glastonbury Festival flew to Greece to unite with Hudson and her family on vacation, including her son, Ryder.
"Kate is really happy with Matt. Their relationship seems really natural and relaxed," the New York Post quoted a source as saying. "It's a whole different ballgame than her relationship with Alex Rodriguez, who seemed to be more focused on himself," the source added.

Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward will not be participating in the bands forthcoming reunion shows. A newly-posted statement by Ward on Billward.com reads:
"Dear Sabbath Fans and Fellow Musicians,
I sincerely regret to inform you that after a final effort to participate in the upcoming Sabbath shows a failure to agree has continued. At this time I have to inform you that I won't be playing with Black Sabbath at the Birmingham gig dated May 19th, 2012, nor will I be playing at Download on June 10th, 2012. Further, I will not be playing at Lollapalooza on August 3, 2012.
It is with a very sad heart that I bring you this news. I am sincerely passionate in my desire to play with the band, and I'm very, very sorry that it's fallen to this. This statement is even more painstaking to write, as I was particularly excited to play alongside Tony Iommi after the recent treatments he underwent. I wanted that to become a reality.
To express my thoughts about you, the Sabbath fans, I'm going to speak to you all through an experience my brother James had recently. My brother Jimmy lives in the U.K. When speaking with him a couple of days ago, he told me that an acquaintance had stopped him on the street and confronted him, "is your brother playing Birmingham? What's going on? I waited in line with my son and paid x amount for the concert tickets."
The man's son is a young drummer. He's going to see Sabbath, and he wants to see Bill Ward play drums. Upon hearing this news, I felt horrible. I couldn't help feeling some resentment towards the failure to reach an agreement, the failure to remember where we came from, the failure to be as brothers, as we once were. To be clear, I'm not blaming the other guys or finding any faults with them. I would think it can't be easy for them either, but this situation is just really sad. It's sad that it's come to this. "This" will surely leave a mark and be unwelcome to the memory. Hopefully "this" will heal and pass in time.
My heart sank when Jimmy told me about this young boy. I know this boy is going to be disappointed, and I don't know how to amend it, other than to put my arms around the boy and tell him I love him. Sabbath fans have a voice and a face, to me you're human, you have families and despair. You have ferocity and emotions and graciousness, and at this moment as far as I'm concerned you are also that young boy in England. I don't know how to amend my part in these failings other than to put my arms around you and say I love you and let you know I'm very, very sorry."
