As expected the Netherlands cruised through the first match in the qualifying phase for Euro 2012 beating the lowest ranked international side San Marino in an away game 0-5.
The contrast couldn't have bigger with the last Dutch international match - the defeat in the World Cup final in South Africa. But despite a slow start to the game the Dutch team were able to cruise comfortably through to win.
Dirk Kuijt scored the first in the 13th minute and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored the first of his three ten minutes before the break.
The game picked up a little in the second half, when Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk swopped defensive midfielder Nigel de Jong for the more attack minded Rafeal van der Vaart, who lined up two nice goals for Huntelaar. Ruud van Nistelrooij, applauded as he ran on to the pitch after a two-year break from the national team, netted the last goal.
San Marino is the lowest ranking national football team in the world in 202nd place. It has never won a point in the preliminary rounds of a European Championship. Around 2000 fans came to see the match, most of them wearing orange.

Dear Ted:
Viva brunettes! Is it the era of the brown-haired girl? Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Leighton Meester, Emma Stone, Mila Kunis and their little sisters Demi Lovato, Lea Michele, Hailee Steinfeld, Vanessa Hudgens are everywhere while the sporters of bleached-blond hair extensions are in rehab, jail or their own vomit.
Dear Brunette Bombshells:
I'd say it has more to do with their semismart decision making rather than the color of their tresses, seeing as some of these gals were born blonde (lookin' at you Stone and Meester). But maybe the H'wood blondes are having a bit too much fun because it has been a particularly good year for the brown-haired beauties. Better luck in 2012, Lohan, Lively and Bosworth!
Dear Ted:
Do all the castmembers from Twilight really like each other? I mean it seems very obvious to me that Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz are definitely not Robsten fans.
Dear Not-Quite BFFs:
They may not be exchanging friendship bracelets, but with all the press they have to do together, the Twi crew knows how to at least tolerate each other. And I wouldn't be surprised if Ash and Kell are just jealous of their more famous costars. After all, the world has got some serious Robsten blinders on.
Dear Ted:
I can think of an A-lister who would possibly be up for Dancing With the Stars: James Franco! He does pretty much whatever projects he feels like without much regard for his movie star status. How great would that be if they could get him? I've never seen the show, but would totally watch if he was on it.
Dear Franco Fiasco:
Franco may be an A-lister, but I don't know if the DWTS execs would want to go there. Jamesy goes a tad too far with what he calls "art projects" these days. He'd certainly draw in viewers, but I predict it would be a giant trainwreck à la Kate Gosselin's stint on the show.
Dear Ted:
I saw the random (and boring) choices for the role of Lucille Ball if a biopic is made. I think they should take a look at Scarlett Johansson for the role. She has a very expressive face and is gangly like L.B. Add some henna coloring for her hair and your done!
Dear Lucille Love:
Random and boring?! You're breaking my Lucille-loving heart! How could you possibly diss the oh-so-adorable Emma Stone? Or The Office's Ellie Kemper, who's only getting bigger post-Bridesmaids. Tisk, tisk, doll! That said, I wouldn't be opposed to tossing ScarJo into the mix.
Dear Ted:
How much longer are we going to experience the DeLively phenomenon? Do you think it will last? They (still) seem pretty fake to me.
Dear Doomed DeLively:
By my count, they should have been over a long time ago. And yet I totally understand why they're still canoodling their way around the globe and delaying their inevitable breakup. It's obvious. We can only hope Leo will see the light sooner than later (and you know it will be he who sees it).

I'm slowly going insane. I just can't figure out what's wrong with this code: http://pastebin.com/XuPydjBk
It should output the three pages with the custom taxonomy term I've set but instead it outputs all pages. Other query vars like posts_per_page effect the output as expected.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
This is part of a shortcode that I'm not showing, but I've done a trouble-shooting and am fairly certain that the tax_query really is the issue.

Lots of chatter about the prospects of Wendy Davis running for governor. Here's the truth: Some big Democratic donors are coming away from conversations with Davis saying that she intends to run for governor next year. She does. And she plans to make that announcement Oct. 3, according to those familiar with her thinking. Still, nothing's official until she announces it.
The money question is a big one for the Davis campaign. She would need $40 million for the race. That's nearly twice what the last Democratic nominee, former Houston Mayor Bill White, raised in his unsuccessful bid to unseat Rick Perry in 2010. But Davis' 11-hour filibuster against an abortion-regulation bill in June catapulted her to national attention and produced a flood money - $1 million - in a matter of weeks.
The issue, according to Davis associates, is whether she will have enough money to adequately tell her story - both positive things about herself and negative critiques of likely GOP nominee Greg Abbott - on television. TV in Texas is expensive, especially in Dallas and Houston where there are lots of Democratic voters and Republican-leaning suburban woman who would be an important voting group. Abbott, who's been attorney general for a decade and has developed as network of big-dollar Republican donors, reports more than $20 million in the bank. He's being challenged in the GOP primary by former state Republican Chairman Tom Pauken, who has only reported a fraction of that amount but says he has some financial commitments of his own.

MARIETTA -An Ohio seismic mapping company will be making its way through Marietta in early July, nearly a year after heavy vibrations created by a Texas seismic mapping company caused area residents to complain of the lack of notice and intrusiveness of the project.
The vibrations created last July by vehicles from Tidelands Geological Company (TGC) of Plano, Texas, were likened to an earthquake by some taken by surprise by the large trucks moving through.
However, this round of testing, to be conducted by Precision Geophysical Inc. of Millersburg, will be much less intrusive, according to Precision President Steve McCrossin.
"We've just got a few trucks that are going to be on the road and they make a small vibration, very non-destructive," said McCrossin.
The trucks move slowly, and at regular intervals stop so a large vibrating metal disk can be lowered onto the road surface from each truck's undercarriage.
The process creates two- and three-dimensional maps of underground formations that are in turn used by oil and gas companies to locate oil- and gas-rich Marcellus and Utica shale deposits thousands of feet below the surface.
McCrossin said Precision's trucks put out much less energy than those used by TGC last summer.
"We do a great job of monitoring to make sure we're putting out a safe amount of power," he added.
Some residents of Harmar say they are concerned the vibrations could cause damage to the older homes in the area when the trucks wind their way through Barber Avenue, and Lord, Elm and Harmar streets.
"I get enough vibration as it is because I live really close to the railroad tracks," said Barber Avenue resident Eva Perine, 57.
Like many homes in Harmar, Perine's is an older home and a big vibration like that experienced by many Third Street residents last year would be worrisome, she said.
Just around the corner, Elm Street resident Dorothy Ritchie, 86, echoed that concern.
"What happens if they ruin your house?" asked Ritchie.
Last year, several residents complained of broken items in their homes following the seismic mapping.
Marietta safety-service director Jonathan Hupp said residents will be better notified before the trucks roll through town this time.
Last year, the permits were filed through the Ohio Department of Transportation and residents complained of the lack of notice.
"This company is going to be working with the engineering department to get the word out to residents when it gets closer. And we'll do our standard mass media notification on the website and Facebook," said Hupp.
The mapping is part of the ongoing saga of Washington County's oil and gas exploration, said Bob Chase, chair of the Petroleum Engineering Department at Marietta College.
"The original maps that were drawn up by the geological survey are now changing," said Chase.
A representative from TGC said the maps created last July are proprietary, so the results are not made available to the public.
However, Washington County is beginning to play a larger role in oil exploration, said Chase.
"Two years ago, Washington County was really at the bottom end of the Utica trend. It wasn't considered as good of a target. But if companies are successful down here, it will really change those maps," he said.

Roger and Stan move on
11.08.2008 | Tennis
Shortly after his successful first round into the Olympic singles tennis tournament Roger also made a good start into the doubles together with Stanislas Wawrinka. They won in straight sets 7-5, 6-1.
Roger managed to lead the team very well, helping Stan over some difficulties during the starting phase. As both players found their rhythm in the second set Simone Bolelli and Andreas Seppi were not able to keep up. Roger leaped to whack an overhead slam on match point, sealing the victory over the Italians after 71 minutes.
Next up are the two top-players Dimitri Tursunow and Michail Youzhny who defeated Fernando Gonzalez/Nicolas Massu, the Olympic champions of Athens.
6-1 / 4/3 against Rafael Arevalo
amazing. only he knows this kind of play these kind of hits!!! i can't find words!!!
what a volley again and the forehand earlier at 0-15!!! Roger is leading with break he's very near to the match winning!!!
OK , Where else than BBC SPORT can I get a nice .decent and working online stream of the olympics !!!!!!!!!!!!

Previous GeneCards Identifiers for GNAT3 Gene
Summaries for GNAT3 Gene
Sweet, bitter, and umami tastes are transmitted from taste receptors by a specific guanine nucleotide binding protein. The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha subunit of this heterotrimeric G protein, which is found not only in the oral epithelium but also in gut tissues. Variations in this gene have been linked to metabolic syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
GeneCards Summary for GNAT3 Gene
GNAT3 (G Protein Subunit Alpha Transducin 3) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Platelet activation, signaling and aggregation and Signaling by GPCR. GO annotations related to this gene include GTP binding and signal transducer activity. An important paralog of this gene is GNAQ.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for GNAT3 Gene
Guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) alpha subunit playing a prominent role in bitter and sweet taste transduction as well as in umami (monosodium glutamate, monopotassium glutamate, and inosine monophosphate) taste transduction. Transduction by this alpha subunit involves coupling of specific cell-surface receptors with a cGMP-phosphodiesterase; Activation of phosphodiesterase lowers intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP which may open a cyclic nucleotide-suppressible cation channel leading to influx of calcium, ultimately leading to release of neurotransmitter. Indeed, denatonium and strychnine induce transient reduction in cAMP and cGMP in taste tissue, whereas this decrease is inhibited by GNAT3 antibody. Gustducin heterotrimer transduces response to bitter and sweet compounds via regulation of phosphodiesterase for alpha subunit, as well as via activation of phospholipase C for beta and gamma subunits, with ultimate increase inositol trisphosphate and increase of intracellular Calcium. GNAT3 can functionally couple to taste receptors to transmit intracellular signal: receptor heterodimer TAS1R2/TAS1R3 senses sweetness and TAS1R1/TAS1R3 transduces umami taste, whereas the T2R family GPCRs act as bitter sensors. Functions also as lumenal sugar sensors in the gut to control the expression of the Na+-glucose transporter SGLT1 in response to dietaty sugar, as well as the secretion of Glucagon-like peptide-1, GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, GIP. Thus, may modulate the gut capacity to absorb sugars, with implications in malabsorption syndromes and diet-related disorders including diabetes and obesity.
Heterotrimeric G proteins are membrane bound GTPases that are linked to 7-TM receptors. Each G protein contains an alpha-, beta- and gamma-subunit and is bound to GDP in the 'off' state. Ligand binding causes a receptor conformational change, detaching the G protein and switching it 'on'.

Twists, Turns and Orbital Tricks
Planning Made Easier: MU Engineers Develop Software Solution for Complex Space Missions
Sending an unmanned spacecraft to the outer fringes of the solar system requires extensive planning. At the University of Missouri, engineers have developed an efficient and highly sophisticated mathematical algorithm (implemented as software) that determines the most efficient path for a spacecraft's journey from point A to point B – no matter how many worlds or years away.
In testing and validating the algorithm, Craig Kluever, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering in the College of Engineering, and Aaron D. Olds, a former MU graduate student who collaborated on the project, focused on the 1997 Cassini Mission, which was one of the most complicated explorations ever. During a seven-year journey from Earth to Saturn, the orbiter flew past Venus, Earth and Jupiter. It twice flew by Venus. Along the way Cassini performed numerous gravity assists – close fly-by maneuvers that borrow energy from the planet and increase the speed of the spacecraft.
The trajectory generated by Kluever and Olds matched the one created by scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which developed Cassini's route. Their mission-design software, which relies on optimization methods patterned from genetic evolution, makes sending a rover to Mars look relatively easy, Kluever said.
"You don't need complicated mission software for Mars missions," he said. "If you look at the trajectory, it doesn't require a lot of twists, turns and gravity assists. It's a straight shot. You need complicated mission software for ambitious missions to a comet,asteroid, moon of Saturn or beyond. We're talking about missions where an unmanned spacecraft would fly by Venus to do a gravity assist and then fly by Jupiter to do a gravity assist. Before that, it may have to coast a year and half to come back to Venus for another gravity assist. These very high-energy targets require orbital tricks. Timing all of these maneuvers to find the optimal solution is complicated."
Kluever said complex missions are launched roughly every three years with the goal of learning more about the origins of the universe. Such missions are vital to the study of astrobiology. For instance, Cassini returned invaluable data about Saturn and the planet's moon Titan. Before Cassini, our knowledge of Titan was limited but now we know a great deal about the moon's surface and atmosphere. Studying the organic chemistry of Titan's atmosphere has yielded potential clues about processes on the early Earth that might be related to the origin of life on our planet. The new software could help make similar missions possible, and may even help expand scientific studies to other astrobiologically important locations like asteroids and comets.
Kluever said the mathematical principles behind the mission software developed at MU have been embraced primarily by the European Space Agency but thinks it could attract NASA's attention. He said when NASA begins planning future robotic missions "it will need software like this to solve those types of problems. But a lot of it depends on what NASA's going to do with human space travel over the next 10 to 15 years."
The study, "Interplanetary Mission Design Using Differential Evolution," was published in the Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets.

Prosecutor Seeks Indictment for Telecom Italia in SIM Fraud Case
A Milan prosecutor filed a request to indict Telecom Italia SpA and three former executives in connection with SIM-card fraud at the domestic mobile phone unit, according to a court document.
The prosecutor will seek to charge Telecom Italia because it failed to prevent the alleged crime and it benefited from it, according to the indictment request. The prosecutor is also seeking to indict former Chief Executive Officer Riccardo Ruggiero and ex-managers Luca Luciani and Massimo Castelli with obstruction of regulatory activity, the document showed. This crime carries a maximum jail sentence of eight years.
Milan Prosecutor Alfredo Robledo is trying to prove that the executives allegedly inflated Italian wireless client numbers to boost the company's market share. The prosecutor alleges Telecom Italia's executives unlawfully renewed more than 5 million pre-paid SIM cards close to their expiration date by recharging 1 euro cent each, according to the documents. The allegedly inflated market share was then communicated to Italy's communications regulator, prompting the offense. The probe is reviewing the period between 2006 and 2008.
A judge will set a preliminary hearing to review the request.
Luciani and Castelli held positions at Telecom Italia in the period under investigation, including head of marketing and sales and director of operations at the domestic mobile business, respectively. The preliminary investigation was completed in April, prompting Luciani to step down as head of Telecom Italia's Brazilian unit on May 5.
"The recent conclusion of complex and lengthy investigations regarding past management of Telecom Italia Mobile in Italy has generated growing noise, which did not benefit either Luca's image as a manager or our company, so we decided to part with Luca," Chairman Franco Bernabe said in a May 10 conference call.
Lawyers for the three men weren't immediately available for comment. A Telecom Italia spokesman wasn't immediately reachable for comment.
Telecom Italia fell as much as 4.5 percent to 69.85 euro cents and traded down 4.2 percent as of 5:13 p.m. in Milan, giving it a market value of 12.8 billion euros ($16 billion).

Hi There,
I have found loads of topics on this on the forum, but none can help me out i'm afraid.
A client wants 3 categories displayed on the same page. Because I don't want them to mess with the layout, it needs to be done with php/html etc. So that they only need to add the messages to the proper category.
Layout should be like this:
Title page
Quick story that tells what to see below.
Category 1 title
Title post 1
Title post 2
Category 2 title
Title post 1
Title post 2
Category 3 title
Title post 1
Title post 2
I want the posts to appear together per category, not in a mix.
What I thought I could do is enter the PHP for calling the category and posts inside that category. I have Exec-PHP installed, so I can use php in pages/posts. Or use a template, but I thought this was just a matter of calling the category through php .. I could be wrong !
Can anybody help me out?
I know there is a loop page, and query posts etc, but they don't give the example i'm looking for since I need multiple loops. I can't write PHP myself, therefor I can't adjust a code.
Hope someone is willing to lend me a hand !

Contemporary Literature
See ya, Dickens. Hellooo Peeta and Katniss.
Shmoop's Contemporary Literature course has been granted a-g certification, which means it has met the rigorous iNACOL Standards for Quality Online Courses and will now be honored as part of the requirements for admission into the University of California system.
Have you ever wished you could throw Bleak House out the window and talk about zombies and Kurt Vonnegut all day?
Maybe Vonnegut's not your thing, but there's something undeniably appealing about contemporary literature. It's accessible (it was written during the last 70 years, after all), but complex enough to lay some really heavy themes.
This semester-long course, aligned to Florida content standards, teaches fiction, nonfiction, poetry, journalism, memoir, graphic novel, and everything in between, while also covering the non-literature-reading areas of writing, research, and American social and political history. You'll be at the edge of their seats reading books about:
- Beatniks and Literary Rebellion: It's amazing how much a run-on sentence can reveal about a post-war cultural climate.
- The Post-War Years: If "contemporary literature" is defined as anything after 1945, it makes natural sense that books about war reveal serious thematic and stylistic changes in literature.
- A More Civil America: Research African American Civil Rights Movement nonfiction from the 1700s to today, and uncover both reoccurring and changing traditions and themes.
- Opposing Voices: Although minorities are often pushed to the side in many of "the classics" taught in school, the authors in this unit have plenty to say about being The Other in the contemporary literature world.
- Depressing Dystopias: Why do people love writing about the end of the world so much? (Wait…rhetorical question?)
- Contemporary Nonfiction & New Journalism: Because annotating Susan Sontag while in high school will make you basically unstoppable in college.
Put your old books aside. It's time to get contemporary.
Course Breakdown
Unit 1. Beatniks and Literary Rebellion
We're kicking off this course with a unit about beat literature, a literary genre that developed immediately after World War II. While American morale was up, up, up, Beatniks (the hippies and hipsters of yesteryear) challenged the status quo with long, rambling, and often brilliant novels and poetry. In this unit, we'll read On the Road (Kerouac), "Sonny's Blues" (Baldwin), and Howl (Allen Ginsberg).
Unit 2. The Post-War Years
As long as war has existed, culture has been affected by it. In this unit, we're going to look at two works of literature dealing with war: Maus (Spiegelman) and The Things They Carried (O'Brien). Perhaps as a result of the complex emotions involved with war, these works take unconventional forms—a graphic novel and a meta-fictional collection of short stories—to show war's impact. (Spoiler alert: It's not great.)
Unit 3. A More Civil America
Contemporary literature doesn't exist in a vacuum, and in this unit, we'll be conducting a case study of civil rights protest literature through the ages. How have Martin Luther King Jr.'s speeches resulted from Phillis Wheatley's poetry? Is Kathryn Stockett's The Help a modern extension of Frederick Douglass? Shmoop's not one to judge, so we'll let you decide. Via research paper.
Unit 4. Opposing Voices
A lot of what we read in school can get monotonous: Young Caucasian boy comes of age, something bad happens, and he overcomes it. Luckily, we have just the remedy for a case of the Contemporary Lit Blahs—a unit chock full of works about being "the Other" in a world that isn't always easy on minorities. You'll read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian (Alexie), selections from Other Voices, Other Rooms (Capote), poetry by Sylvia Plath, and essays, speeches, and manifestos by some of the most brilliant writers since Shmoop first picked up a pen and paper.
Unit 5. Depressing Dystopias
Many believe that children are our future. The authors of "Harrison Bergeron" (Vonnegut), The Hunger Games (Collins), and The Road (Vonnegut) beg to disagree: The future is a bleak, terrible, post-apocalyptic place, and each of this unit's stories feature young adults being ravaged by a horrible dystopia. Why are world-ending stories so popular in contemporary lit? Pack up your emergency kit and read this unit to find out.
Unit 6. Contemporary Nonfiction & New Journalism
Me, me, me, me, me, me. While the idea of being assigned to write a magazine article about advances in modern medicine and turning it into a thousand-word reflection about your high school crush may sound pretty ridiculous to us, it was a big part of the development of nonfiction in contemporary literature. This final unit focuses on new journalism, and nonfiction's experimental turn at the end of the 20th century. Plus, there'll be a culminating project. Obvi.
Sample Lesson - Introduction
Lesson 2: Kerou-Whacked
Shmoopers, meet Sal Paradise and his band of merry men. In On the Road, you'll be introduced to the U.S. that your parents and grandparents love to wax poetic about.
Sal starts out by just feeling bored with his life. But one day, a friend of his named Dean Moriarty shows up on his doorstep looking for an adventure.
And hey, why not?
It quickly becomes obvious why dudes like Dean and Sal love to drink. They are restless souls, never happy with being in one place for too long—physically or mentally. So even as Sal hops from truck to truck to get himself across the United States on his big ol' road trip, he also feels the need to take "mental" vacations from the world.
Enter: the Beat lifestyle.
Sample Lesson - Reading
Reading 1.2: Keep on Truckin'
First stop: our introduction to Jack Kerouac's On the Road.
Once you've made it through that, either buy or steal yourself a copy of Jack Kerouac's On the Road and read Part 1, Chapters 1 to 4. (A Beat would recommend the later method, but Shmoop likes to play it safe and support our local bookseller.)
Finally, just to make sure everything's nice and firm in your brain, take a look at our Shmoopy summaries.
And away we go.
Sample Lesson - Activity
Activity 1.2a: Sal's Paradise
Feeling restless yet? Don't worry, we've got some questions to guide you. We're looking for 100 words each, as per usual, and make sure to cite evidence from the text. When you choose a quote, make sure to cite it with the page number and Kerouac's name in parenthesis after.
After all, what's the point of writing about post-WWII rebellion if you don't cite in a proper way?
Sample Lesson - Activity
Activity 1.2b: Contemporary Whaaa?
So what exactly is this elusive contemporary literature thing? If you've noticed, Shmoop hasn't provided you with an exact definition...yet.
And that's because we want you to come up with one on your own. Throughout Unit 1, you'll be reading, theorizing, and creating ideas about what makes a novel contemporary. This whole "written after 1945" thing can't be all that matters.
For this activity, we're going to have you put "contemporary literature" into your friendly local online search engine.
Got some results? Choose three articles that you feel correctly define (or attempt to define) contemporary literature.

CGI Initiative for Collaborative Government Fellow Molly O'Neill joined CGI Vice President and subject matter expert Rob Rolf to discuss the importance of the government's ability to identify and recoup improper payments as part of the Initiative's ongoing video series focused on Tackling the Budget Cut Challenge.
In the video Recovering Improper Payments, O'Neill and Rolf cover the scope of the improper payment issue in the federal government, as well as the effective solutions organizations are deploying to combat the problem.
"Just by the government's own numbers, this is a $125-billion-a-year problem," Rolf said.
O'Neill and Rolf also examined the successful recovery audit model deployed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. To watch that video, click here.
O'Neill and Rolf examined methods agency leaders can apply to prevent and recover improper payments even when they do not have resources to invest to improve their improper payment systems or increase compliance feet-on-the-street.
O'Neill served as the former Assistant Administrator and Chief Information Officer (CIO) at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As the CIO at EPA, she was responsible for establishing an innovation center of excellence that advanced the creation, management and use of information as a strategic resource at EPA. Rolf has spent time in both the public and private sectors and leads CGI's recovery audit operations.

Stylish picture lights from the Joshua collection install easily and plug into any standard wall outlet to ensure your art will be seen in its best light.
Tech Lighting's picture lights from the Joshua collection are trim and easy to install. This plug-in design provides superior color rendition with no backlight leakage. Illuminates pictures up to 30" x 45" in their best light. Includes an adjustable in-line rotary switch with a 12-volt wall plug adapter and 10 feet of cord.
Shop all Tech Lighting
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I purchased 2 to light a 36 X 24 inch picture. Out of the box, it is junk. No way to mount the hood to the fixture (as shown in directions)the hood is held in place by the bulb, (floppy loose, not centered) After mounting, found a 36 degree wide bulb in one box, and a 66 degree in the other. The Dealer people were great, they exchanged both bulbs with 2 much better quality bulbs. In my opinion, "Lamps Plus" is great, the problem is: The Joshua Tech Lighting fixture is overpriced junk.
Use it to illuminate a poster of W. C. Fields, with a sneering,challenging expression, holding a pool cue and an eight ball. This is on the wall next to my pool table in my game roon.
Used to illuminate a photo, this light for the money is very cheaply made. It does not include a diffuser nor a dimmer. Light comes out of the top of the fixture. It is held together by a simple wire "spring" and the bulb is secured by bending two aluminum tabs on a metal housing, which will break with repeated bulb changes. Too expensive for what you get.
we use 2 of these to illuminate a 8'x 6' chalkboard in a sportsbar. it works well without giving off too much light.

By Private 1st Class Michael VanpoolDecember 14, 2010
By Private 1st Class. Michael Vanpool
Task Force-Lifeliner, 101st Sustainment Brigade
BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan, Dec. 8, 2010 - Private 1st Class Stephanie Daniels left Purdue University in her sophomore year to join the Army.
The Lafayette, Ind., native worked in a salon as a skincare specialist, while pursuing her business degree at college. The stress of studying and working more than 40-hours a week, plus the desire to change her life, however, made her reevaluate her circumstances.
"I was working two jobs and going to school," Daniels said. "I got burned out."
Daniels is now a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle driver for the Personal Security Detachment of the Mission Support Platoon for the 101st Sustainment Brigade.
Daniels said her father, a retired active duty and reserve first sergeant, and grandfather both influenced her to enlist in the Army. "I always wanted to be in the military because of my dad," she said.
She said she also wanted to move around and see different countries. Daniels enlisted as a Human Resource Information System Management Specialist in 2009. The occupation's duties of managing information systems for personnel fit in with her seeking a business degree.
During her nearly six months of training, Daniels said she felt challenged by the physical demands of basic and Advanced Individual Training, although she admits her love for running.
"When I first enlisted, I thought I'd get paid to work out," Daniels said. "Then I got in and realized I get to do cool things, like shoot weapons. And I've met some of best friends in the Army."
Daniels quickly adjusted to the military life by keeping an upbeat attitude. "I wasn't miserable like some people," she said. "I think I'm just too happy of a person."
After completing AIT at Fort Jackson, S.C., Daniels went to Fort Campbell, Ky., where she was assigned to the Human Resources Company, 101st Special Troops Battalion, and 101st Sustainment Brigade. She spent a few months with HR Co. before being selected for the brigade Personal Security Detachment. Daniels said she was chosen since she excelled at her warrior tasks.
"They needed a female with a 270 or higher PT test and a good weapons score," Daniels said.
Being one of two females on the PSD team, Daniels quickly proved herself among her male counterparts.
"I fit in pretty good with the guys, and I out-run most of them," Daniels said.
Aside from the physical demands of being on the PSD, Daniels caught on to the mission of the team.
"At first, I didn't really understand what PSD was," Daniels said. "All I knew was that there was a lot of training involved. Some of the NCOs on the team explained and helped me understand more about it."
Daniels said she and her fellow PSD members spent several months preparing for their deployment to Afghanistan, including training with Special Forces for a month. Daniels described that training as some of the best days of her Army career.
"They train completely different than most units," she said.
She also performed urban patrol training with Special Forces, attended the Warrior Leader Course, Tactical Combat Casualty Care, and convoy training.
The months of training showed Daniels several aspects of the military that she didn't anticipate. "I know how to shoot so many weapons systems now, more than I thought I would ever see," she said. "I got to learn a lot about military equipment, which will help me in my future career."
Daniels said she plans on finishing her bachelor's degree at Purdue University and becoming an officer.
"The reason I joined enlisted, instead of finishing my degree and going officer, was because of my dad," Daniels said. "He said that coming from a place where you understand what privates go through will help you understand them and be a better leader."

My husband two friends and myself went to Pampas for dinner. The look of the restaurant was really nice and comfortable. As soon as we walked in we were greeted right away and seated. The food was great and there was more than enough to go around. We also enjoyed the tango dancing very much and how the dancers incorporated the guests at the restaurant. My only suggestion would be is to get a microphone for the dancers that are speaking between numbers. At some points it was very difficult to listen to what they were saying. Other than that I would definitely go back to have dinner at Pampas.

by Tyler Mangrum
– The Capitol Hill Times –
Despite all the attention that mass transit received during the recent election, and King County Metro calling for a 15 percent expansion to cover service needs, Metro announced a round of budget cuts beginning in 2014 with a 17-percent reduction in service that will leave 74 bus routes cancelled, and 107 routes reduced.
The cause of the cuts comes from insufficient revenue generated by Washington State's sales tax in the wake of the recession. Metro bus fares have risen steadily over the last few years to account for the decrease in tax-generated income, but without other forms of revenue in place, and emergency money from the state legislature set to run out, Metro now faces a $75 million budget shortfall.
"Temporary funding and reserves run out next year, and those were part of how we kept service running through the weak economy after the Great Recession," said Metro Transit General Manager Kevin Desmond. "Recent economic growth is good news but doesn't rescue us, as sales tax receipts are still below 2008 levels and remain a volatile source of Metro's revenue. We'll continue to push for stable funding to keep King County and the state's economy moving forward, but time is running out. Metro must plan for service cuts to reduce costs and operate within our adopted budget."
King County Executive Dow Constantine says that the "unprecedented" cuts may begin as early as June of 2014. After the cuts go into effect, 80 percent of Metro's service would be affected, leaving only 33 Metro routes at their current level of service. Metro estimates that approximately 55,000 rides per day would be lost entirely, resulting in more traffic congestion across the region as well as leaving some areas with little to no access to mass transit.
For Capitol Hill, a neighborhood that sees some of the most frequent usage of busses in the county, the cuts would affect numerous bus routes in all directions. The cuts would result in a reduction in service for the 2, 3, 8, 9X, 11, 12, 43, and 49 routes, which Desmond warns will lead to more crowded busses operating at fewer times. The 4, 25, 27, 47, 48X, 84, 205, 211, and 265 bus routes would be deleted entirely.
City officials like Councilmember Larry Phillips, Chair of the Transportation, Economy, and Environment Committee, warn that the cuts would be a major step backwards for the region in terms of promoting economic growth by leaving numerous working-class people without other forms of transit from their jobs.
"Buses are on the chopping block throughout King County, severing people's lifelines for getting to work," Phillips said. "These drastic transit cuts move King County in the worst possible direction for mobility and a prosperous economy. Voters deserve to have a say about this, either by the State Legislature coming through on a transportation package in the current special session, or by King County finding other funding options."
Although Metro Service Development Supervisor Victor Obeso has stated that service for neighborhoods with low-income and minority residents will be maintained "to the degree possible" by targeting routes with the lowest ridership, the Central District will receive some of the most route deletions and reductions when compared to the rest of the city.
"The drastic bus cuts we are facing are going to disproportionately affect those in our community who can least afford it," said Larry Gossett, Chair of the Metropolitan King County Council.
Governor Inslee has called for a special session of the state legislature to allocate more emergency funds to help garner additional funds for Metro and avert the negative effects that a reduction in service would create before Metro's budget is finalized this spring. However, while the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives has voiced support for expanding funding for Metro, the State Senate's slim Republican majority is not expected to budge on any matter of mass transit funding.
"We are the economic engine of the state and have a need for stable and on-going transportation funding," said Councilmember Jane Hague. "It is essential that we receive funding tools from the legislature so that voters are able to choose the levels of service they are willing to support."

CZECH 420 A: Modern Czech Literature In English
- Winter 2013
The writer Franz Kafka, a German-speaking Czech Jew living in Prague in the early 20th century, produced a body of work that has come to embody the modern condition of alienation, disorientation and angst – in short, the Kafkaesque. This course surveys Kafka's oeuvre – his major novels "The Castle," "The Trial" and "Amerika"; several short stories; letters and autobiographical pieces – as well as the milieu which produced them: the Jewish community of Prague at the end of the Austro-Hungarian empire.

It may be a little-known suburb in South East London, but this up-and-coming area has had more than a brush with fame
The suburb of Penge, sandwiched between Crystal Palace, Sydenham, Beckenham, Anerley and South Norwood, in the southeast borough of Bromley, has been boosted by its inclusion on the extended East London line, which was opened in May. Penge has changed considerably in the past 20 years and has become much more multicultural. As well as having the kind of leafy streets that characterise comfortable suburbia, it has its share of tatty shops and cheap housing. However, it has a rather illustrious past, having benefited from the relocation of the Crystal Palace in 1854 from its original site in Hyde Park.

Two explosions heard in Israel's Eilat resort town
At least two explosions were heard on Monday in Israel's southern city of Eilat, Al Arabiya correspondent reported.
He said a Grad rocket was found at the site of one explosion. Israeli media said the army is still investigating the source the blasts.
"At least one rocket was fired at Eilat and they found the remains on the outskirts of the city," one security source told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity, adding the searches were continuing.
Neither the police nor the army could confirm rocket fire on the city, although residents had reported hearing several explosions earlier in the evening, a police statement said.
The last time the resort city came under attack was in August 2013 when the Israeli army said its Iron Dome anti-missile system had intercepted and destroyed a rocket but did not say where it came from.
That attack was claimed by a Gaza-based Salafist group called the Mujahedeen Shura Council, which has previously said its militants in Sinai had staged several rocket attacks on Eilat.
Since the ouster of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak in February 2011, Israel's border with Sinai has seen multiple security incidents, with militants using the lawless peninsula to stage attacks on the Jewish state.
The most serious incident was in August 2011, when gunmen infiltrated southern Israel and staged a series of ambushes that killed eight Israelis.

Financial karma for Thailand's Thaksin
By Shawn W Crispin
BANGKOK - What one hand of the Thai state gave in privileged telecommunications concessions, the other has taken away on charges of policy corruption and the accumulation of unusual wealth. In a highly anticipated Supreme Court verdict on Friday, a nine-judge panel ruled to seize US$1.4 billion (46.4 billion baht) worth of former prime minister and telecom concessionaire Thaksin Shinawatra's and his family's assets.
The court found that Thaksin and his ex-wife Pojaman na Pombejra concealed their assets in violation of laws that bar politicians and their spouses from owning shares in private companies while in office. Judges also ruled that Thaksin abused his power as premier by implementing policies that directly benefited his private companies, including the now Singapore-owned Shin Corp, Advanced Info Services and Thaicom, then known as Shin Satellite.
Thaksin's defense had maintained that the charges were politicized, coming in the aftermath of the 2006 military coup that toppled his government, and he challenged the legitimacy of the military-appointed Asset Examination Committee that originally built the case against him. His lawyers also argued that there were no legal grounds to seize all of Thaksin's and his family's assets because much of the funds were earned before he took public office in February 2001.
A potential $2.3 billion (76.6 billion baht) worth of frozen assets were in question in the trial. It was not immediately clear from the decision if the Finance Ministry's revenue department would be empowered by the verdict to seize another 36 billion baht it has ordered frozen from Thaksin's two children, Panthongtae and Pinthongta. The ministry has claimed the two owe at least 12 billion baht in back taxes from the 2006 sale of Shin Corp to Singapore's Temasek.
The landmark ruling represents the biggest state seizure of a deposed Asian leader's assets since the 1986 fall of the notoriously corrupt dictator Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines. The more complicated case against Thaksin represents the second corruption conviction against him since his government was toppled in 2006. He fled into exile in August 2008 just days before being sentenced to two years in prison for his role in an irregular Bangkok land deal involving his government and ex-wife.
The court-ordered seizure of Thaksin's assets is in line with the gathering trend towards the "judicialization" of Thai politics, an apparently royally endorsed concept where high courts and judges assume the role the monarchy has traditionally played in mediating the country's complex and often heated political disputes. Observers noted that King Bhumibol Adulyadej symbolically addressed groups of judges on two occasions in recent weeks, urging them to adjudicate with "righteousness" the cases they handle. By Thai law, the monarchy is above politics.
The widely revered monarch made a similar address in the lead-up to a Constitutional Tribune decision in May 2007 that resulted in the legal dissolution of Thaksin's former ruling Thai Rak Thai party and banned 111 of the its top executives - including Thaksin - from politics for five years. After a period of ill-health that has confined Bhumibol to hospital since last September 19, the 82-year-old monarch has resumed certain ceremonial roles in the weeks leading up to Friday's decision.
While conservative interests have looked towards the courts to play a larger role in checking and balancing politicians and officials ahead of the eventual royal succession, Thaksin's red shirt-wearing United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) protest group supporters have challenged the impartiality of recent verdicts that they perceive have disproportionately gone against them, including the court-ordered dissolution of two Thaksin-aligned, democratically elected political parties since 2007.
It is not immediately clear whether the landmark verdict will lead to more or less political instability. Acting government spokesman Panitan Watanayagorn predicted in an interview before the verdict that the country's political situation would improve after the ruling. He noted that Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva planned to focus less on domestic politics and more on neglected foreign policy, including planned trips to Australia, India and Russia, after the verdict.
On the other side of the political divide, the ruling will likely fuel the Thaksin-aligned UDD's rally call against what it has claimed are double standards in Thai society. UDD protest leaders retreated from earlier plans to stage mass rallies meant to pressure the government ahead of the ruling, but have now vowed to bring one million Thaksin supporters from the provinces to Bangkok in mid-March to topple Abhisit's government and force new elections.
Some analysts wonder whether the seizure of Thaksin's substantial assets will impact on the UDD's future ability to orchestrate and finance future large scale protests. Thaksin has consistently denied that he bankrolls the UDD, but the group's leaders and supporters clearly march to his orders, including his call from exile last April for his supporters to rise up in a "revolution" and overthrow Abhisit's government.
Because many here believe that future stability is dependent on Thaksin's access to funds, the level of his off-shore holdings is a matter of wild speculation in the local media. Thaksin said in a recent interview with the Times of London that he still has between $100-$200 million in assets off-shore. Diplomats tracking the situation note that he clearly has enough funds to make recent investments in lotteries in Fiji and Uganda and gold mines in Swaziland and Papua New Guinea, among other high risk ventures.
Other political analysts wonder whether the seizure of his billions and intensified efforts to extradite him from the United Arab Emirates will push the exiled former premier towards brinksmanship, including a possible expansion of the conflict from Bangkok into the northeastern rural provinces where his support is known to run strongest. They point to recent threats made by rogue retired and current military elements in Thaksin's camp who have called for the creation of a "people's army" and veiled threats to assassinate judges and officials involved in the handling of his assets case.
Underlining the emerging fragmentation of Thaksin's camp, the UDD issued a statement refuting those claims, saying it has "renounced our previous call to arms" and "categorically denies any involvement" in a recent grenade attack on army headquarters and a C-4-laden explosive found in front of the Supreme Court weeks before Friday's verdict. It's unclear which group now has the former premier's ear, but historically Thaksin has played political factions in his camp off one another in divide and rule fashion.
The government has pre-emptively responded to the threats by mobilizing joint civilian and security force teams across 38 provinces, including in Bangkok, and the erecting of new security cameras in areas of the national capital, including this week in front of the Supreme Court. To guard against a chaotic repeat of last April's breakdown in law and order, government spokesman Panitan said that security forces are prepared to deploy new "layering" techniques to prevent peaceful protests from spiraling into violent riots.
The seizure of $ 1.4 billion Thaksin's Thailand-based assets will spur new guessing games about exactly how much he may have socked away off-shore and his future willingness to funnel those funds into new bouts of instability. One government insider speculated that Thaksin's declining fortunes were already evident before Friday's verdict, witnessed in what he viewed as his "third class" private jet, decidedly "middle class" dwellings in Dubai and wardrobe shift from Armani to less refined business suits.
Others believe the image-conscious Thaksin has purposefully downgraded his on-camera presentation to evoke sympathy among his rural supporters and that he is keeping his financial powder dry to press his case for a royal pardon after the eventual succession from Bhumibol to his heir apparent son, Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn. While Thaksin is no doubt financially down with the seizure, it's not clear yet that he's politically out.

Protests Outside Apple Store in Paris
PARIS — Multiple lines stretched from an Apple Store outside Paris's Opéra on Friday morning to greet the arrival of the highly anticipated iPhone 5. One was an enormous line of fans who had waited hours for the device, and smaller lines of protesters against Apple's business practices and work conditions.
"Apple! Your unemployed are in the street!" shouted one camp of a dozen people who claimed their store had brought Apple products to France, but had since been cut off by the Cupertino, Calif. company. "We're here to demand a job at Apple," said Patricia Allouche, next to a white banner with a slogan handwritten in red ink.
Meanwhile, about 40 Apple Store employees gathered to protest poor working conditions and low pay, said union representative Thomas Bordage. Workers distributed flyers saying they're demanding a bonus of a month's pay, as well as cleaner toilets and better air conditioning. "Apple is neglecting us, even as it cares for its brand," Mr. Bordage said.
Officials at Apple didn't return calls and emails seeking comment.
The number of protesters was no match for the long queue of people who had lined up, some for more than 24 hours, to be among the first to get their hands on Apple's new device. Stretching across a street and down the next block, hemmed in by metal stanchions, they numbered roughly 600, according to a security guard.
"I want to be the first," said Anthony Fitch, a visitor from Italy and the first person in line. He said he been waiting since Wednesday night.
Some customers said they were sympathetic to the employees' concerns. "They're being mistreated," said Sylvain Gautier, also one of the first on line. "Apple has to negotiate with them to protect its brand." But those concerns didn't stop Mr. Gautier from waiting 26 hours to buy two new iPhones.
Later arrivals also saw the protests, giving some pause.
"I arrived at 8:30 and said to myself, I can't buy from this company that has employees who are practically slaves in China," said Marie-Pierre Suire, referring to controversies over conditions in factories where Apple products are produced. But the desire to replace her old iPhone 3G as a gift for her 50th birthday won out, and she stuck around for another two hours to get her hands on an iPhone 5.
"I'm crazy," Ms. Suire added. "Even if I'm against it ideologically, the product is very good."
Most Apple Store employees apparently declined to join Friday's strike, although several inside and outside the store wore green bracelets emblazoned with the word, "believe" as a sign of solidarity.
"In the end, given all the media, many employees didn't want to expose themselves," Mr. Bordage said. "But it was a good mobilization all the same," he said.

On Tue, 9 Dec 2003 13:56:39 -0500, "Gary Roach"
If the domain controller is win2k with AD you can use win2k package to
install the office so you dont have to visit each pc it will just
install its self when they log on. You first install it to the network
as a admin install(office admin not domain admin) give the user the
same network drive as a shared drive with the same drive letter.
Create the Administrative Installation
The first step in deploying Office over a network is to create the
administrative installation. To do this, you need at least 550 MB of
free disk space on a central server, and you need write access to the
server. After you are sure that these two requirements are met, follow
these steps.
NOTE: You can perform these steps while you are logged on to the
server or from a network client that has a connection with the server.
To install from connection:
Insert the Office CD-ROM, and cancel any AutoRun activity that may
occur. (Most applications that are available on CD-ROM have an AutoRun
feature. When the CD-ROM is inserted into the CD-ROM drive, AutoRun
initializes the startup and splash screens for the program's
installation. Cancel out of this, if it occurs).
Click Start and then click Run. In the Open box, type the following,
and then click Office 2000 Developer:
path\Setup.exe /a
NOTE: Path is the path to your CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive that
contains the Office CD-ROM.
In the Customer Information dialog box, type the CD key from the back
of the Office CD-ROM case.
Type the name of your corporation in the Company box. This is the name
that will appear in the Office program splash screens that are
displayed every time you start an Office program. Click Next.
In the License and Support Information dialog box, accept the license
agreement, and then click Next.
In the Installation Location dialog box, accept the default.
NOTE: You can specify a different destination folder for the
administrative installation. This location can be a folder on a local
hard disk or a folder on another computer. You can specify either a
mapped drive or a UNC path to the folder. You can also click Browse to
browse for the folder.
Click Install Now. The CD-ROM's contents are copied to the install
path that you indicated, and the administrative installation is ready
for use.
You could use wise install and create a package and then run it with a
/s so the user wouldnt see it.
Changing a user from user to admin will change their profile unless
you create a profile for each user and specify that as there profile.

Identifying Property Lines
By: Danny Lipford
There are several reasons when you need to know exactly where your property lines are located, such as putting up a fence, or creating new landscaping. You'll want to find out what the local building codes are in relation to any construction, and you must locate your property line.
To determine this, you will need a licensed land surveyor, which you can find in the phone book. The surveyor will review the original tract maps filed with the County when your home was built, then use a variety of tools to measure the exact boundaries of your property. Then, they will mark your property by placing wood stakes in the four corners of your land.
If you're just curious about finding your property lines without the expense of hiring a surveyor, you may be able to locate the four corners by using a metal detector to find the metal pegs that were originally installed to mark your boundaries.

I had my property surveyed sometime ago to keep my pesky neighbor from mowing on my side of the line. While I was not at home, he has pulled up all the stakes. I put steel steaks in the same holes, but as soon as he saw me leave my house, he again ripped up the stakes. He even threw on of them into my drive way. What kind of stakes can I put down that he cannot pull up.

The Fall of the House of Usher
by Edgar Allan Poe
Tools of Characterization
Character Analysis
Family Life
Usher reveals that Madeline is his last living relative and only companion. From this detail we know that Usher is extremely isolated and we get a sense of the intensity of his relationship with his sister. Later, he reveals that they share some peculiar connections, and we start to suspect that there is more than DNA in common between these two.
Physical Appearances
The narrator uses in-depth descriptions of Roderick's changing appearance to explain the ways he is changing emotionally. Compare the description of Roderick upon the narrator's arrival to the mansion with the description we get after Madeline's death, or on the night of Roderick's own death. Try paying attention to Roderick's gleaming eye, or the pallor of his skin; the events going down in the house have a huge effect on him, and we get to see that effect physically.
Direct Characterization
Poe, through his narrator, tells us straight-out that the Usher family is weird, creepy, isolated, old, wealthy, and indistinguishable from their weird, creepy, isolated, old, wealthy mansion. This is important info, and the author doesn't beat around the bush giving it to us.

Billie Holiday MOOD INDIGO Lyrics

Duke Ellington / Irving Mills / Albany Bigard
You ain't been blue
No, no, no
You ain't been blue
Till you've had that mood indigo
That feelin goes stealin down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh "Go 'long, blues"
Always get that mood indigo
Since my baby said goodbye
In the evenin when lights are low
I'm so lonesome I could cry, boo...boo-boo-boo-boo!
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me
I'm just a soul who's bluer than blue can be
When I get that mood indigo
I could lay me down and die

Car Catches Fire then Catches House on Fire
Happened on the 31-000 block of Avenida La Gaviota in Cathedral City
Firefighters were called out to a home on the 31-000 block of Avenida La Gaviota in Cathedral City after a car catches on fire in the driveway igniting the house on fire.
The fire was reported just before 3:15 P.M. by a neighbor who reported heavy smoke coming from a car parked outside a garage of the home.
Firefighters were able to stop the spread of the fire from reaching the main house but not before it destroyed the attached garage. Firefighters also reportedly saved two dogs still inside the home. None of the 4 people who live at the home were there at the time of the fire.
Firefighters say due to the smoke damage the family will have to find somewhere else to live for the night.
The cause of the car fire is still under investigation.

The author's tenure as an editorial advisor to <it>Datamation</it> magazine from 1965 to 1971 paralleled an era of computer technology journalism that chronicled and set the tone for the industry's emergence as a dominant force in business and society. Some of the flavor of this period is captured in this account of the author's interaction with legendary editor Bob Forest.
