Hi all--
I am using the Tiga theme and have noticed that the theme does not allow for comments on Pages, only on Posts. I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and found a solution for it; I asked the developer, but never got a response. Thanks in advance if anyone can help!

Feed My People Food Bank is a food distribution center that supplies more than 6 million pounds of food annually to more than 100 hunger-relief agencies in 14 west central Wisconsin counties. According to food bank records, in July more than 26,000 people received food from its partner programs throughout west central Wisconsin.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) - A recent fundraiser for the Feed My People Food Bank raised more than $84,000 for local hunger relief.
On Thursday, Feed my People announced the total amount that an August 2 live auction brought in. The event was at Gordy's County Market on Hamilton Avenue in Eau Claire.
The executive director of Feed My People says the money helps provide food for struggling families and help the facility bring in more nutritious food.
More than 200 area businesses donated more than 900 items for the auction.

- Conference date: 30 July-2 August 2003
- Location: Konigstein (Germany)
The photoionization of excited He and Xe atoms has been investigated using a combination of a VUV photon (HHG or synchrotron radiation) and a visible laser photon. The well defined degree of polarization of these sources and, in particular, the combined use of linearly and circularly polarized light make it possible to extract detailed information on the symmetry of the excited states as well as on the angular momentum of the outgoing electron. In the case of the Xe* 5p5 8p' [K]0,1,2 autoionization resonances, excited via the Xe* 5p5 7s [3/2]1 intermediate state, the applied technique leads to the determination of the partial photoionization cross sections related to the continua with total angular momentum J = 0, 1, and 2, respectively.

Meridian, Miss. Meridian's 186th Air Refueling Wing Tuesday carried out its first mission since the KC-135 Stratotankers returned to Key Field.
The KC-135s started returning to Meridian last month, after a couple of years' absence.
Between 1992 and 2011, the 186th performed more than 21,000 air-to-air refueling missions around the world.
The wing's commander says crew members have already started training to again perform essential air-to-air refueling duties that are core to its mission.
"It's job security, I think. It's an enduring mission," said Col. Franklin Chalk. "Air refueling is going to be around for many, many years.They are old airplanes. Hopefully, they'll be with us for at least fifteen to twenty more years."
The 2-hour training took the crew from Alexandria, La., to Mobile, Ala. Unit members will train four to six days each week.
"They've all got to get re-qualified," said Chalk. "Now, we do have some who have never flown these airplanes before, so they'll have to be trained in the mission."
The KC-135 stratotanker is a unique aircraft, often nicknamed 'The Iron Maiden' for its endurance and reliability. Chalk says it's the perfect fit for the long-term success of the 186th:
"Air refueling is key to the success of any missions anywhere," Chalk said. "If you don't have gas, you can't fly airplanes."
The KC-135 can fly at near sonic speeds and at altitudes up to 50,000 feet.
Chalk says the planes are coming to Meridian from Ohio and Tennessee, among other places. There are currently three aircraft on the ramp, but Key Field will have eight by the end of the month.

There's a certain seasonality to the cookbook publishing industry: Barbecue books are released just in time for grilling season, and cookie books land each fall. But every now and then there's a confluence of oddities, a sudden flurry of books on miniature desserts, for example, or extremely specific containers -- 100 savory recipes for your muffin tin!
Now we're suddenly awash in books with numeric titles: "7x7 Cooking," "The 6 Ingredient Solution" and every other sort of two, four, six, eight you can imagine. So we're going with the flow. Here's the lowdown on three that focus on the numbers five, six and seven.
"Robin Takes 5"
With 10 cookbooks, a food blog and a Food Network show under her belt, Arizona food writer and nutritionist Robin Miller has won a devoted following. Her "Quick Fix Meals" was a best-seller, and the first "Robin Takes 5" cookbook struck a chord with busy home cooks who don't have time to muck around with esoteric ingredients for complex recipes. Miller is back with "The Robin Takes 5 Cookbook for Busy Families" (Andrews McMeel, $16.99, 226 pages), a paperback collection of 200 five-ingredients-or-less recipes for breakfast, dinner and the lunchbox crowd.
The book has no photographs, but it offers a plethora of quick, kid-pleasing dishes, and little icons tell you which dishes are gluten-free, "finicky friendly," party ready or freezable, and everything comes with a nutrition breakdown. The lunch box section, for example, is divided into fare that is best served chilled, warm or "room temperature, ice pack optional," and includes recipes for Quinoa Salad with Black Beans, Corn and Cilantro, for example, and lavash sandwiches filled with hummus and red peppers.
It seems unfair to criticize a book whose entire raison d'être is "five ingredients or less" for having too few ingredients. Dinner, after all, will be on the table in a flash. But a tomato soup whose ingredients consist solely of canned tomatoes, canned evaporated milk and fresh basil is not something we want to eat. And we sincerely doubt that the chicken tortilla soup is "crammed with flavor and texture." It calls for simmering a can of tomatoes, a cup of prepared salsa and 2 cups of shredded chicken for 10 minutes, then calling it soup. It's garnished with fresh cilantro and crumbled chips.
Doubtless there are some good recipes in here, too. The zucchini and havarti panini with fig jam sounds promising; so does the quinoa salad. But if minimal ingredients are your thing, may we suggest ...
"The 6 Ingredient Solution"
The America's Test Kitchen folks bring their good sense, good taste and impeccable recipe testing to the minimal-ingredients topic in their latest volume, "The 6 Ingredient Solution: How to Coax More Flavor From Fewer Ingredients" (America's Test Kitchen, $26.95, 318 pages). It's not the number of ingredients, Christopher Kimball writes, it's the ones you choose and the way you use them that yields fare that is "simple but deeply satisfying." The trick for developing flavor, he says, includes tinkering with the cooking fat -- using coconut milk, for example, or the oil in the jar of sun-dried tomatoes -- and sauteing or toasting spices to unleash their flavor.
The results are incredible: Coconut-Curry Braised Chicken, BLT Pasta, Chai-Infused Butternut Squash Soup and a chapter on "effortless appetizers" that we've madly dog-eared for holiday cocktail party inspiration.
As for kid-friendly lunch boxes, we'd much rather fill our Thermos with a tomato soup whose ingredients include pureed roasted tomatoes, caramelized onions, brown sugar, chicken broth and a final flourish of garlicky, creamy Boursin.
"7x7 Cooking"
You thought your kitchen was cramped? Hope Korenstein's Brooklyn apartment kitchen boasts 3 feet of counter space. Her cooking equipment? Two pans and a pot. And she's cooking under those constraints after a long day at her law office. If this home cook can do it, anyone can, right? That's the premise of Korenstein's first cookbook, "7x7 Cooking: The Art of Cooking in a Small Kitchen" (Skyhorse Publishing, $16.95, 134 pages).
The book, which measures a tidy 7-by-7 inches, of course, and includes color photos of each dish, is a good pick for new cooks, city dwellers with tiny kitchens, and anyone who buys prewashed lettuce because they don't own a salad spinner -- especially those who don't know what a salad spinner is.
"7x7 Cooking" is divided into six chapters, ranging from starters to pasta, seafood and dessert. We were particularly struck by the lettuce-less salad chapter, which includes a Middle Eastern chopped salad, panzanella and a Thai mango salad. (Korenstein includes arugula and baby spinach salads under the same "no lettuce" heading; we think that's cheating, but whatever.)
It's an inviting collection of family recipes -- the Korenstein family's favorite meatballs, her grandmother's rugelach, her sister's favorite pound cake. And the prose reads like a friend's recipe cards, dotted with encouraging little exhortations, such as "Please do not fear the fish sauce! ... Live dangerously!" and "1 cup flour, supposedly sifted, but I never do." New cooks will likely find those notes charming and reassuring.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Thursday night concerts on Fanny Hill are known to attract storms, but bad weather is nothing new to Honey Island Swamp Band.
Aaron Wilkinson and Chris Mule ended up in San Francisco after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. There they met fellow Big Easy musicians Sam Price and Garland Paul and got a gig playing together at a club in the city.
"We were uprooted by a little bad weather we had down there," joked Wilkinson, who plays guitar and mandolin and sings vocals for the band. "The four of us who started the band, we all for different reasons ended up in San Francisco."
They didn't intend to get together, but one night they all ended up at the Boom Boom Room, which Wilkinson said is a "home away from home" for New Orleans musicians. Wondering what to do while stranded, they asked the club if they could play a gig there, and soon the four of them were playing together weekly on Sunday nights.
"Those were our rehearsals," Wilkinson said. "It's sort of a making the best of a bad situation kind of story."
While out West, Honey Island Swamp Band, which describes its music as "bayou Americana," recorded its eponymous first album in 2006 at the Record Plant in Sausalito, Calif.
"We had barely been a band for not even a year, and we were recording as the guest of this legendary studio," Wilkinson said.
All that playing and developing helped the band hit the ground running when it returned to New Orleans, Wilkinson said. The band has gained some recognition, including an award for best roots rock artist the past two years at the Big Easy Awards. Since moving back in 2008, it has released two more albums and is working on a fourth. The band is already playing material from the new album live.
"Right now we're just happy to be playing some new songs on the road," Wilkinson said.
All the band members are originally from the Gulf Coast. Wilkinson's music career led him to New Orleans.
"I just naturally made my way over here," he said. "It's one of the few places you can play and make a living doing it."
Two winters ago, Honey Island Swamp Band played in Keystone, and the temperature was 40 below. When its van got stuck in some ice, everyone on the tour had to pitch in to push it out.
"We're looking forward to a very different experience this time," Wilkinson said of the band's next Colorado stop in Snowmass Village. Wilkinson traveled around Colorado playing music before the formation of Honey Island Swamp Band, and he said he's wanted to play the outdoor stage on Fanny Hill for some time.
"It's hard not to enjoy yourself when you're surrounded by so much natural beauty," he said.

There are a few hip hop tracks that are almost "untouchable", in that if they get remixed chances are the remixes aren't very good. While it's a generalization, it's sadly pretty true. This track however doesn't follow that guideline.
It's a reworking of Ni**as in Paris by Jay-Z and Kanye West and combines just the right amount of hip hop flair mixed with an ample helping of bass. In writing this we've had it on repeate since finding it on the Badman Press facebook page. DZ is also thinking about dropping this track as a free download if enough people get on board. So highly recommending that you leave em a note saying how bad you want it if you'd like a fresh new download.
Big ups to DZ and the Badman Press crew!

Bright Shining Lies? On Richard Blumenthal and Vietnam
When Tim Johnson's lies about his Vietnam service were exposed back in 1998, the former manager of baseball's Toronto Blue Jays was relieved of his duties. Gord Ash, then the general manager of the Blue Jays, said the issue became too much of a distraction to the team to continue letting Johnson manage.
We were reminded of Johnson's swift fall from grace on Tuesday when we saw the NYT's article on Richard Blumenthal, the Connecticut Attorney General now running for Senate.
Blumenthal has on occasion mentioned publicly his Vietnam service. However, writes the NYT's Raymond Hernandez, "there was one problem: Mr. Blumenthal, a Democrat now running for the United States Senate, never served in Vietnam."
In fact, writes Hernandez:
He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records.
The deferments allowed Mr. Blumenthal to complete his studies at Harvard; pursue a graduate fellowship in England; serve as a special assistant to The Washington Post's publisher, Katharine Graham; and ultimately take a job in the Nixon White House.
In 1970, with his last deferment in jeopardy, he landed a coveted spot in the Marine Reserve, which virtually guaranteed that he would not be sent to Vietnam. He joined a unit in Washington that conducted drills and other exercises and focused on local projects, like fixing a campground and organizing a Toys for Tots drive.
On Monday, Blumenthal told the NYT that "he had misspoken about his service" on one specific occasion and "might have misspoken" other times. "My intention has always been to be completely clear and accurate and straightforward, out of respect to the veterans who served in Vietnam," he said.
The NYT story is lengthy and appears to be quite damning. But the real story — whether Blumenthal takes a Tim Johnson-like fall — is just beginning.

Borders of Earth's 'safe operating space' rock and roll
According to James Hansen, an atmospheric physicist at Columbia University, US, we passed the 'tipping point' for atmospheric carbon dioxide some years ago, when concentrations reached 350 ppm, and Earth's climate has now tipped into a new irreversible state, from which there is no route of return. But does our planet really have such clearly defined boundaries?
Reaching a tipping point is a bit like knocking over a glass of water: once the water is spilt there is no way of getting it back into the glass. Examples include the melting of the Greenland and West Antarctic Ice sheets – pass a certain temperature and the entire ice sheet will melt – and changes to ocean circulation – warm the Earth enough and ocean circulation will change irreversibly.
The million dollar question is, of course, where do these critical boundaries lie? Many scientists are working hard to try and define them, but one group of researchers now argues that viewing tipping points as single boundaries is too simplistic.
"The idea of global 'tipping points' may be misleading because the word 'points' implies that there is a small number of discrete points that divide the `safe operating space' from the `unsafe space'," explained Marty Anderies from Arizona State University, US. "The problem is that when we move along a dimension on which one of these points lies, the locations of the other `tipping points' change. Thus there are infinitely many tipping points that constitute a planetary boundary."
Take the Amazon rainforest for example. Evidence suggests that the combined pressures of climate change and land-use change are liable to cause an abrupt shift to a savannah state – a regional tipping point. If this does happen, there will be a multitude of knock-on effects with global implications, including shifting vapour flows, which affect temperature and rainfall patterns in other regions, and carbon release, leading to increased global temperatures. Ultimately it is the complex interaction of these local and regional planetary boundaries that might drive us to a global tipping point.
In order to explore the shape of these planetary boundaries, Anderies and his colleagues employed a minimal model of land use and carbon cycle dynamics. Using this model they showed that planetary boundaries interact with each other and shouldn't be considered in isolation. Their findings are published in Environmental Research Letters (ERL).
Anderies likens the concept of planetary boundaries to the coastline of an island surrounded by shark-infested waters. Until now we've tended to think of the boundary as a smooth line, drawn in the sand, but in fact we need to consider an island with a jagged, irregular coastline with many narrow inlets. And it is an island that continually changes shape, with storms causing landslides in one area, while washing up sand onto a beach elsewhere.
In the real world, this translates to a multitude of local and regional planetary boundaries, which can ultimately lead to a global transformation. "Examples include losses of living resources (fish stocks or game populations), invasions of harmful species, degradation of grasslands, replacement of coastal kelp forests by sea urchin barrens, and replacement of coral reefs by algae overgrowth," said Anderies and his colleagues.
Although the scientists didn't create their model to predict how far we are from various planetary boundaries, their model scenarios indicate that we are still a long way from the 'photosynthesis/respiration dynamics of land systems' tipping point – a key component of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and hence global temperatures. However, they caution that their model did not consider methane release or albedo change, both of which could change the shape of this boundary and shrink the safe operating space considerably. For Anderies there is only one important take-home message: "it is probably unwise to underestimate the complexity of planetary boundaries."

Alphorn, a software environment for programming distributed computer systems, is described. Programs running on different computers, possibly of different types and running different operating systems, communicate in a client-server relationship by means of remote procedure calls. This efficient construct structures programs neatly. The paper covers distributed process control, Alphorn's object-based programming style, remote procedure calls, the service interface language, configuration, runtime and debugging, and fault tolerance support.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
MONDAY, Oct. 7 (HealthDay News) -- For individuals at high risk of HIV-1 infection, a DNA prime-recombinant adenovirus type 5 boost (DNA/rAd5) vaccine regimen lacks efficacy, according to a study published online Oct. 7 in the New England Journal of Medicine to coincide with presentation at the AIDS Vaccine 2013 meeting, held from Oct. 7 to 10 in Barcelona, Spain.
Scott M. Hammer, M.D., from Columbia University in New York City, and colleagues randomized 2,504 men or transgender women who have sex with men to receive DNA/rAd5 vaccine (1,253 participants) or placebo (1,251 participants). The authors sought to examine the efficacy of the vaccine regimen among those at increased risk of HIV-1 infection.
Vaccinations were halted in April 2013 for lack of efficacy. In the primary analysis, the researchers found that week 28+ infection (HIV-1 acquisition from week 28 through month 24) was diagnosed in 27 and 21 participants in the vaccine and placebo groups, respectively (P = 0.44). The mean viral-load set points were 4.46 and 4.47 HIV-1 RNA log10 copes per milliliter in the vaccine and placebo groups, respectively. A lack of vaccine efficacy was also noted in analyses of all infections (41 in the vaccine group and 31 in the placebo group; P = 0.28). The vaccine regimen side effect profile was acceptable.
"Our study gave a definitive, albeit disappointing, result but should provide useful information as newer vaccine regimens and approaches are developed," the authors write.

Sources familiar with the company's plans tell BusinessWeek.com that Apple will release a software-development kit for the iPhone in early 2008, enabling programmers to create games, business-productivity tools, and countless other applications for the device. [BusinessWeek]
Too bad the article says that Apple will most likely "hand pick" who it gives the SDK to (much like the iPod SDK for games).
I don't understand why they can't do what SymbianOS does and offer the SDK to anyone and then use signed certificates via a Code Signing Publisher ID to vet those software developers who want to access certain "trusted" features of the device. Symbian also allows any developer to apply for a self-signing certificate for development testing on their own handset.
@hypnotik_jello: Slightly off-topic, but: I just read that Nokia will release a touchscreen version of S60 in 2008, which makes sense I guess since they've pretty much admitted that they're going to release some sort of iPhone competitor.
@hypnotik_jello: I don't understand why they can't do what SymbianOS does and offer the SDK to anyone and then use signed certificates
Because Apple does things Apple's way. A certificate infrastructure would use more of the iPhone's memory, could cause another layer of security headaches, and would let any old developer write CrapApp 3000, spoiling the whole look-and-feel of the phone.
Part of the value of the iPhone is the seamlessness of the thing; you don't notice the OS or the apps as separate; the whole thing just works. Having different priveledges for different apps is nice from an "everyone in the pool" standpoint, but while everyone might get a chance to swim, you're damned sure a few folks are gonna pee in the pool. Apple doesn't want pee in their pool.
As for the news of the SDK itself, anyone with half a brain saw this coming. The iPhone runs a limited-functionality version of Mac OS X; they had to get the phone out ahead of the SDK to beat the look-alike phones; I can assure you they've been hurredly working on the SDK for some time now.

The Misanthrope
by Molière
The Misanthrope Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- Why does the play end so abruptly? How would it be different if we had a typical happy ending?
- Would The Misanthrope be as funny in prose? How about as a novel? An iPhone app? In other words, how much does form matter to content?
- What rules in society today constrain our actions? How would you go about being a modern-day misanthrope?
- If Alceste is a misanthrope, would it be fair to say that he hates himself as well?
- Is it possible to totally remove yourself from society nowadays? All Alceste has to do is leave Paris. We'd have to leave Google, Facebook, our phones and laptops behind.
- What do you think is Éliante's story? We don't know much about her, but what could she be thinking while watching her cousin flirt all day?
- Which female character seems more aligned with Alceste's values, Éliante or Célimène? How might that comparison work—that is, what characteristics do Célimène and Alceste share? Éliante and Alceste?

Recent flooding of cities and towns across the world has attracted the attention of an eclectic group of environmentalists, ratepayers and municipal governments. As our cities have expanded, natural surfaces have been covered by vast swaths of pavement and asphalt. The urban collection of wide roads, driveways and super-sized parking lots has turned our landscapes into waterslides and sluices that quickly deliver storm water overland to rivers, lakes and streams.
Our attempts to make water submit to our will have resulted in the creation of and reliance upon curb-gutter-sewer systems that are supposed to collect the rains and divert them for treatment before they enter the waterways from which we get our drinking water. Yet the legacy of curb-gutter-sewer systems is downstream flooding, erosion, effluent dumping as a result of sewer overflows and ultimately, water quality degradation. They have also been responsible for disrupting the natural hydrologic cycle, reducing groundwater recharge and stream baseflow, while turning self-cleansing systems like filtration and sedimentation into things of the past.
Other sources of water contamination such as industrial discharges, seeps from landfills and dumpings into our waterways have been the target of regulators for decades. While these traditional sources of water contamination have not been completely eradicated, programs to monitor, minimize and moderate have reduced the impact of these practices on water contamination.
But while we were busy minimizing the impact of industrial dumping, urban runoff became a significant source of water contamination. In fact, authorities now cite storm water runoff as the second-largest source of pollution for Great Lakes shorelines.
Communities are recognizing that the "end of pipe" solutions they once relied upon are failing them in significant ways and are horrendously expensive to install and maintain. Now some communities are attempting to replicate the natural systems that existed before we covered everything with pavement and other impervious materials. These communities are incorporating urban features that retain water, such as rooftop gardens, wet ponds and dry ponds. Any early Canadian farmer or woodsman would be familiar with the techniques that are now being promoted as "green" best management practices.
Unfortunately, our understanding of these practices is sophomoric – we promote the practices without fully understanding the problem. In every municipality one can find self-styled authorities who delight in donning the environmentalist's green hat. They call for expanded road surfaces to provide bike lanes; green roofs that are good for moderating a building's temperature but don't make a dent in cancelling out the hydrologic damage caused by a Walmart parking lot; and accept without question our apparently insatiable appetite for paving over bio swales, treed lots and vegetation while eschewing helpful options like permeable pavement, eco grids and increased buffer zones as standard development requirements.
One need only look back at our historic development practices and their legacy of a sprawling network of expensive infrastructure along with the ongoing burden of maintaining and upgrading it to realize how wrong-headed our accepted practices have been. Abandoning the field to environmental dilettantes and hobbyists is no substitute for a system wide approach to earth friendly decision making.

Only 12% of Texas law agencies report written eyewitness identification policies
Steve McGonigle, co-author of The Dallas Morning News' recent series on Dallas County wrongful convictions overturned by DNA evidence, reports on a recent study about law enforcements' use of eye eyewitness testimony, a huge factor in the imprisonment of many innocent men:
Faulty eyewitness testimony may be the leading cause of wrongful convictions in Texas, but that has not persuaded the majority of police agencies to write policies on how to properly conduct identifications, a criminal justice research group is set to report Wednesday.
Despite bad eyewitness testimony contributing to 82 percent of the state's pacesetting 38 DNA exonerations, only 12 percent of 750 Texas law enforcement agencies told The Justice Project that they had a written identification policy. The policies that were reported were often incomplete and inconsistent, the Austin-based research group said.
Only seven departments – including Richardson, Lewisville and Haltom City in the Dallas area – have written policies that embrace a lineup procedure that many leading reform advocates believe could significantly reduce suggestive behavior by police officers.
The time has come, The Justice Project says, for the Legislature to act.
"This overall lack of sound, scientifically based policy indicates that the State of Texas must pass legislation that requires departments to adopt written policies that implement best practices for the conduct of eyewitness identification procedure," the report stated.
The Justice Project's findings roughly approximate research The Dallas Morning News recently conducted on police agencies in Dallas County. The News found that only 5 of the county's 25 municipal or county law enforcement agencies had written identification policies.
The hand-writing may already be on the wall for police agencies to make a change.
Texas leads the nation in the number of wrongful convictions exposed by DNA testing, an unenviable record that has produced considerable critical publicity questioning the fairness of criminal justice in a state that executes more prisoners than any other.
Last week, Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, pre-filed legislation that would require departments around the state to have written identification policies. The proposal is a softer approach to a bill Mr. Ellis tried and failed to pass through the 2007 Legislature.
While police officials are cool to the idea of having the legislature mandate specific policies, some have indicated lukewarm support for Sen. Ellis' approach, which has already drawn an amen from Judge Barbara Hervey of the Texas Court of Criminals, who also heads an ad hoc committee studying possible changes to reduce wrongful convictions.
The Texas Police Chiefs Association hopes to reduce the need for legislative action by offering members an accreditation program that would include a requirement for written policies. The association's board could vote on an accreditation plan as early as next month.

ADP Lightspeed's Hal Ethington has posted a study in which he lists the top 18 parts sold in metric dealerships during 2010 as measured by the total sales produced per part number. Click here to read the full article.
The list was taken from $717 million in sales from 736 dealers nationwide and was limited to parts retailing for at least $100. "They account for 0.002 percent of all part numbers, but they pulled in 1 percent of all sales," Ethington writes. "That's almost 50 times their weight in sales produced in the dealership."
Go to the article to see the list of items, including the quantity sold, the average price and the total dollar amount in sales. Two winches accounted for more than $1 million in sales and were the highest producers of sales in the group. Other top-performers included digital cameras (presumably of the onboard variety), UTV sport roofs, fairing flares and ECUs.
Among items selling for under $100, Ethington notes, gift cards brought in almost $3 million in sales. "Average price was $53, so that was 53,000 of them."

ISOLDE studies the properties of atomic nuclei, with further applications in fundamental studies, astrophysics, material and life sciences
The Isotope mass Separator On-Line facility (ISOLDE) is a unique source of low-energy beams of radioactive nuclides, those with too many or too few neutrons to be stable. The facility fulfils in fact the old alchemical dream of changing one element into another. It permits the study of the vast territory of atomic nuclei, including the most exotic species.
The high intensity proton beam from the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB) is directed into specially developed thick targets, yielding a large variety of atomic fragments. Different devices are used to ionize, extract and separate nuclei according to their mass, forming a low-energy beam that is delivered to various experimental stations. This beam can be further accelerated to 3 MeV/nucleon. The post acceleration of radioactive beams has opened new fields of research, allowing the study of nuclear reactions with light and medium-mass radioactive projectiles. Many of these experiments use Miniball, a gamma array of high purity germanium detectors. Presently an upgrade of the machine, HIE-ISOLDE, is underway that will improve the experimental capabilities of ISOLDE in many aspects. From the autumn of 2015 radioactive beams of 5.5 MeV/nucleon will be available.
The ISOLDE facility has gathered unique expertise in research with radioactive beams. Over 700 isotopes of more than 70 elements have been used in a wide range of research domains, from cutting edge nuclear structure studies, through atomic physics, nuclear astrophysics, fundamental interactions, to solid state and life sciences. Presently more than 450 researchers are active at ISOLDE, working on about 90 experiments. About 50 experiments take data every year.
See a list of experimental setups or active ISOLDE experiments.

Attorney General George Jepsen and Consumer Protection Commissioner William M. Rubenstein sent out letters Thursday with a short survey to 69 charities registered with the state or identified as having accepted donations related to the tragedy.
The letter said donors need information to help make informed giving decisions and to understand the purposes for which their gifts will be used.
Officials cited estimates that more than $15 million has been donated to Newtown-related charities since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December in which 20 children and six educators were killed.
"Donors need information to help make informed giving decisions and to understand the purposes for which their gifts will be used," officials wrote. "This is particularly important—and challenging—when so much money is being raised so quickly."
The survey, which is voluntary, asks charities how much they raised, whether the money will be used solely for the victims or, if not, what portion will be used for other purposes. Officials want to know how much charities have spent related to the tragedy, what services have been provided and whether they've funded other organizations.
The charities were asked to respond by April 12, with the results then made available to the public on their websites to guide future donors.
Officials said posting the information should not be considered an endorsement of a charity.

I had been on the list since I was 21 and by the time I was sterilised I had been pregnant 15 times, some miscarriages and some terminations. all were concieved whilst using contraception. my last pregnanacy I was using both the mini pill and the injection and still managed to get pregnant.
However 7 years on and I am now happily married and underwent a reversal operation in january of this year. It was expensive (£4050) and had to be done privately, it was also a lot more complicated than sterilisation and I was very dissapointed to find out that if I had continued to use the mirena coil, (the only contraception that did work for me) I would not have needed sterilisation as it is more effective.
But back to the operation. I was in surgery for roughly four hours and had a laproscopy and then a laprotomy. I was pretty much out of action for the first day and I was very sore. I stayed in the hospital for four nights and although I was sore my biggest pain was trapped wind!, This reduced me to tears and wnet on for at least three weeks after the operation, I was also surprised at how weak I felt and walking for fifteen minutes wiped me out for two days. By week six after the op I was just about feeling human and capable again, bedroom activities had been tentatively restarted a couple of weeks before and when my period arrived I was partly relieved because I felt like my womb was now recovered from its trauma and partly devestated as I had almost expected to get pregnant straight away.
I had a second period two weeks after the first and at that point I just decided I was not going to think about it anymore. That was six weeks ago and I had a positive test 5 days ago. it is still early days and I am now going for an early scan to make sure it is not ectopic, but with any luck I should be mother to a new baby by christmas this year.
when I went for the op I was told the chances were 75% in my favour, but my doctor has also not had a failure yet, so good news for those who want to do this, however a word of caution, since having the operation my abdomen is still numb in quite a large area, I have been informed it is a commmon side effect and that the feeling may never return, I don't know how that will effect my pregnancy but I will try and keep you posted

Post subject: sterilisation reversal
Hi I've just sign up to the site and saw your message, I just had to reply.
I was sterilised 9 years ago, using the clip method I had 3 children and was in an 11year relationship. however my marriage broke down and I spent 5 years alone. Then in 2005 I met my soul mate, the most wonderful man in the world - he has no children as his ex wife was unable to carry due to health problems. So last year we began to look at our options, well to cut a long story short IVF was out and so was open surgery, but I had seen reversal by laparoscopy ( key hole) my search began !!!! In January this year I found a surgeon who would do it. We had a consultation and 3 weeks later I travelled for 3 hours to Cambrigeshire for my surgery.
Very nervous and excited, I was one of the first in theatre just after 9 am, at around 5.30pm the same day I was on my way home with four tiny little insitions. I was very sore and on bed rest for a few days though I could get up and potter around . On day four I was up and about and kept improving each day, after two weeks I was almost back to normal, though I had my 1st period which was a little uncomfortable and heavier than normal, I still felt ok.
It is now almost 5weeks since my reversal and my partner and I are hoping I won't have a 2nd.
We had to go private, it was a package which covered consultation, surgery, bed for the night ( if needed ) and all drugs including a bag full of pain killers to take home. The cost was £3190.
All I can say is it was the only option for me and it turned out to be a very positive one, just waiting for the positive pregnancy test now ( we have been practising since 5 days after the surgery ). if you would like the hospital and sugeons details I will gladly pass them on !!
Good luck in your search x x

i've just read your replies & i want to say thanks for sharing your experiences.The last few weeks have been a bit up & down finding a consultant & hospital to do the operation but now we've found the man for the job & i'm booked in for the 5th of April.I'm excited,nervous & tearful,though i can't explain why,probably because my dream is almost fulfilled & i never thought we'd reach this point.
Anyway i'll keep posted on how the operation goes & hopefully it won't be too long till i'm pregnant!!!

Ah shellie I'm so pleased for you,
, I understand exactly what you mean, I was up and down like a yoyo, the slightest thing and i'd be crying or snapping at someone, luckily it was only a couple of weeks and there was so much going on, time to think about it was limited !!
Stay positive and thing of the end result
I just keep the consultants last words to me in my head ". . . so I will see you in 4 months unless you get pregnant in the mean time "
Well heres hoping just past the half way point and praying I'll not have a 2nd period on the 7th April.
Wishing you all the luck and baby dust for the 5th will be thinking of you , will be around if you need a chat, moan or anything in the mean time .

Hi,well that's me,i've had the operation and i'm back home now,sore but happy as the op went well & the consultant's very happy with the result. I was a bit nervous when i found out the op would be like a caeserian section as i'd thought it would be keyhole surgery but with an hour till the op,i didn't have too long to worry about it. Afterwards i was in a lot of pain & slept most of the next day but the day after i was taken off the drip & had the catheter out,so i was able to get up & walk about etc. I was in hospital for 3 nights & i spent that resting,now that i'm home i find that theres so many things i can't do & that's frustrating ,my partner & the kids have been great helping out & even though i'm not doing much i'm so tired.I've also just started my period so things could be better but as soon as i feel up to it i'll be ttc,at the moment i'm too sore to let my partner near me but hopefully that won't last long.Thanks again for your replies,they mean a lot to me.i'll keep you posted on how things are going & hope you stay in touch to let me know how things are with you.good luck & keep smiling xxx.

Hey Shellie
Good to hear you're doing well and are home. Know exactly what you me about being unable to do things, that was the worst for me, so used to just getting on and doing stuff !! I just kept reminding myself why I'd done it and it made me behave and take things easy. My partner and kids were fab just had to hint and they'd do it ( was swimming in cups of tea from my daughter bless her ) .
I bleed straight after for a few days, got my 1st period 12 days post op. My 2nd af arrived during the night. Was a little disappointed, but don't feel too bad it was the 1st month of properly trying. We did manage very cautiously and gentley 7 days post op.
Take it easy and keep us up to speed
Load of Baby Dust & fingers and ttoes crossed

hi im going through everything you guys are.I was in a horrible relationship for 15 years and eventually escaped, my husband now is the best thing that ever happened to me and he would love another child with me unfortunately i was sterilised 7 years ago.I am going to see my consultant on tuesday to discuss a reversal but i am a bit worried as my tubes have been cut and tied. Did anybody have that sterilisation reversed? hope to hear from someone soon thanx

Hi janeylou
welcome to the site, my sterilisation was with the clip method, but my consultant said it depends alot on your surgeon, so long as you have at least 4cm left after the cut the damage theres a good chance of success. Defo more than with IVF which is what the first consultant tried to push me into because of my age etc.
That was the problem I had, finding a surgeon that would do it key hole, I didn't want open surgery. I ended up having to travel 200 miles but it was worth it. Are you NHS or like me and shellie had to go private ?
Hope you get on ok and get what you want, best advise I can give is read up on all your options and know what you want . Good Luck

i went to see my consultant a year ago and he did the same , tried to push ivf but i wasnt keen on the idea , not natural. He did say he would do the reversal but said it was a big op and i would be off work for weeks and it would cost 5,600. He didnt mention anything about keyhle surgery. Who did you get to do it? would they be able to do keyhole even though my tubes have been cut? x thanx for your reply it means alot to know i have other people in the same position to talk to x jane x x

Hi Jane ,
I had to go private cos I have 3 kids even though they're not my partners so he has none. I initially looked at the IVF option but after reading all about it I was keen either, too many drugs and messing up your system not to mention the risks. As well as the fact each treatment took months and was only a small chance, This way we had a chance each month. It was during this search I found a link to the keyhole reversal but they all seemed to be in America ( didn't fancy the open surgery, too long in hospital and recovery too long too!), it would be the same as when I was sterilised but the other way round! I was determined to find someone in the uk to do it so my search began.
So finally after months and months of searching I found a guy in cambridgeshire. It's a private suite in an NHS hospital and a package price all in including consultation and overnight stay if required was £ 3189 . I contacted them on 28th Jan they replied with an appointment for the 31st Jan - I had my op on 20th Feb. We went to our GP for the forms for the tests, so we had the results ready, my partner had a sperm count and I had a blood test to check I was still ovulating and not pre -menopausal.
I'm in cheshire so the 200 mile trip to me was worth it. If it's a doable trip for you I'll gladly pass on his details he's a lovely man and explains everything . I asked loads of questions via e-mail to his secretary Jo she was fab too nothing is too much trouble anything she doesn't know she'll ask him and get back to you.
My partner has told me we are having a girl- I told him we should get pregnant 1st and then guess what it is ( he keeps kissing my belly and talking to my eggs bless x
will send details pm Hope it's usefull to you

Hi Donna

My husband has already got 1 boy so will he still have to be tested? anyway thanx for your reply it means alot, hope to hear from you soonx

The Start Smart K-12 breakfast program, which caused embarrassment for Republicans and over which Democrats made hay, is back.
The program and its $124,229 funding was put into a 2010-11 supplemental Wednesday for the Department of Education.
Sen. Keith King, R-Colorado Springs, a charter school principal, introduced the amendment to restore the supplemental funding and it got the backing of the entire Senate Appropriations Committee. That included Sen. Kent Lambert, R-Colorado Springs, one of three Republicans on the Joint Budget Committee who voted down the funding and then became a lightening rod for criticism after inferring that low-income parents should take responsibility for feeding their own children instead of relying on the government.
The Department of Education bill was one of 30 supplemental bills sent to the General Assembly this week, intended to close a $216 million gap in the 2010-11 budget.
The bills were heard Wednesday morning in the Senate Appropriations Committee and will be up for Senate debate as early as Friday.
It's unlikely that the rest of the supplementals will make it over to the House untouched either, according to Senate Democrats. JBC member Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, told The Colorado Statesman this week he does not feel bound by any 3-3 votes taken by the committee during its deliberations on the supplementals in the past several weeks. And Senate President Brandon Shaffer, D-Longmont, has his own ideas on how to deal with some of the decisions made (or not made) by the JBC.
Some of those votes are going to be revisited, according to Shaffer, who told reporters Monday that the JBC made decisions "that they may not have gotten right," referring to the Start Smart K-12 breakfast program and allowing Secretary of State Scott Gessler to keep $3.5 million in surplus funds.
Steadman said he was disappointed that the JBC did not take another vote on the Start Smart program before the JBC's supplemental bill for the education department was introduced Monday. Steadman said he voted to support the program during the JBC deliberations.
Shaffer said the Senate also would revisit the JBC's decision regarding the surplus in the Secretary of State's office. "We'll have a healthy conversation about Gessler's plans to keep the extra funds," Shaffer promised.
With regard to other JBC decisions, such as the Secretary of State's money, Steadman said he intends to stand with the JBC. (The committee initially voted to take $2 million but reversed that vote a few days later.)
Steadman pointed out that taking the funds from the SOS would require statutory change and a unanimous vote by the JBC to sponsor the bill, and that didn't happen. Steadman said it is his duty on this issue to stick up for the JBC. "The dynamic [in the General Assembly] is 94 against 6, and I'm one of the six," he said.
If multiple members of the JBC decide to side with their caucuses rather than the committee on any other changes to the supplementals, it will likely mark the only time in recent memory that this has happened. In a review of JBC votes during the last decade, the members voted as a bloc of three in each house, sticking together on the bills they submitted as a committee. Even in years when the JBC saw more than its share of new members, like in 2005 when the committee got two new members each from the House and Senate, the committee stuck together.
But last year, Lambert, then a JBC member from the House, did what no other JBC member had done: the first-time JBC member voted against three of the supplementals authored by the JBC, and eventually, against the JBC-sponsored Long Appropriations Bill.
Long-time capitol observer John Straayer, a professor of political science at Colorado State University, told The Statesman this week that for years the JBC was the "anchor" on fiscal policy — a "reservoir of experience, maturity and bipartisanship." Those days are over, he said.
He cited several factors for the dissent that now marks some of the committee's recent actions, as well as the entire Legislature. That includes pressure put on the Legislature by the third economic downturn in a decade, and term limits. When term limits first hit the Capitol in 1998, it hit six members with an aggregate 57 years of legislative experience and 33 years on JBC, he said. The JBC members at that time "were not rigid partisans and worked well together." The aggregate legislative experience for the current JBC is 20 years, with only three years on JBC (four of the members are in their first year). "The level of bipartisanship has thinned, to say the least," Straayer said.
Other factors are the "growing national sharp partisanship, which is infecting Colorado" and which Straayer said has driven the Republican Party to the ideological right, and the "hash" the General Assembly and voters had made of the state's fiscal policy, through Gallagher, TABOR, Amendment 23, GOCO and the tobacco tax. "It has made revenues unpredictable and stripped the Legislature of fiscal authority and flexibility," Straayer said. He also noted that a decade ago, the General Assembly lowered the state's income taxes and other taxes, actions that they cannot now undo. Finally, he cited a "robust anti-government industry," led by Doug Bruce, John Andrews and Jon Caldara, whom he said have successfully kept the focus on the Grover Norquist dream of "shrinking government until it is small enough to drown in the bathtub," rather than on roads, bridges, schools, colleges and health care.
The lack of bipartisanship has led to another problem, Straayer also explained — lack of long-term vision. Nearly 70 percent of current legislators have academic degrees from public colleges and universities, he said. "Someone else paid for most of it, though — the folks who, over the years and decades, built and sustained the educational institutions. These same folks built our roads, bridges, and utility systems," Straayer said. "What, now, will these beneficiaries do for the next generation? Let it all disintegrate in the name of shrunken government? Or do what is needed for our kids and grandkids and the Colorado of the coming decades?"

In proposing that their model can operate in the concrete, perceptual world, Rogers & McClelland (R&M) have not done justice to the complexities of the ecological sphere and its invariance laws. The structure of concrete events forces a different framework, both for retrieval of events and concepts defined across events, than that upon which the proposed model, rooted in essence in the verbal learning tradition, implicitly rests.

Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus is the result of a successful combination of goals: Malaysia's goal of becoming an educational centre of excellence, Sarawak's goal of increasing its technical workforce and Swinburne University of Technology Australia's goal of globalising its operations to provide its students with additional international opportunities while providing quality Australian degrees at affordable costs for students from across Asia.
The Sarawak campus was established in Kuching, the capital city of the Malaysian state of Sarawak, in 2000. Originally known as Swinburne Sarawak Institute of Technology, it was awarded university status as a foreign branch campus university by the Malaysian Government in 2004 and became Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus. The university therefore has dual nationality, being both a branch of the Australian university as well as a Malaysian university. Degrees awarded are Australian and testamurs are indistinguishable from those awarded in Australia.
Swinburne Sarawak was founded as part of the Government of Sarawak's strategy to deliver skilled human capital to the engineering and technical fields for the industrialisation needs of the state. The Australian partner in this venture, Swinburne University of Technology, is well-known in Australia for its business and technical education and for close links with industry. The university wants to make the same high standard of education available to young people abroad.
Undergraduate degrees offered at Swinburne Sarawak include courses in the areas of Engineering, Science, Business, Computing and Design including double degrees. The university also offers postgraduate research programs at PhD and Masters levels in these disciplines. Courses offered include one-year foundation programs. The Faculty of Language and Foundation offers a wide range of preparatory and English language enhancement programs.
The 16.5-acre city campus is only about 15 minutes from the central waterfront area of Kuching. Student numbers have grown from the original intake of about 130 students in August 2000 to about 4000 currently and this is expected to reach 5000 students in several years. International students currently come from more than 60 countries.
The Sarawak campus was expanded in 2008. Completion of the RM110 million project sees eight new custom designed buildings added to the campus, increasing the total number of buildings to 12. These greatly improve teaching, research, student accommodation and other facilities as well as permit further expansion of courses and students, particularly in engineering and science.

Restrict number of characters to be typed for af:autoSuggestBehavior
By Arunkumar Ramamoorthy-Oracle on Nov 26, 2012
When using AutoSuggestBehavior for a UI Component, the auto suggest list is displayed as soon as the user starts typing in the field. In this article, we will find how to restrict the autosuggest list to be displayed till the user types in couple of characters.
This would be more useful in the low latency networks and also the autosuggest list is bigger. We could display a static message to let the user know that they need to type in more characters to get a list for picking a value from. Final output we would expect is like the below image
Lets see how we can implement this. Assuming we have an input text for the users to enter the country name and an autosuggest behavior is added to it.
<af:inputText label="Country" id="it1"> <af:autoSuggestBehavior /> </af:inputText>Also, assuming we have a VO (we'll name it as CountryView for this example), with a view criteria to filter out the VO based on the bind variable passed.
Now, we would generate View Impl class from the java node (including bind variables) and then expose the setter method of the bind variable to client interface.
In the View layer, we would create a tree binding for the VO and the method binding for the setter method of the bind variable exposed above, in the pagedef file
As we've already added an input text and an autosuggestbehavior for the test, we would not need to build the suggested items for the autosuggest list.Let us add a method in the backing bean to return us List of select items to be bound to the autosuggest list.
padding: 5px; background-color: #fbfbfb; min-height: 40px; width: 544px; height: 168px; overflow: auto;"> public List onSuggest(String searchTerm) { ArrayList<SelectItem> selectItems = new ArrayList<SelectItem>(); if(searchTerm.length()>1) { //get access to the binding context and binding container at runtime BindingContext bctx = BindingContext.getCurrent(); BindingContainer bindings = bctx.getCurrentBindingsEntry(); //set the bind variable value that is used to filter the View Object //query of the suggest list. The View Object instance has a View //Criteria assigned OperationBinding setVariable = (OperationBinding) bindings.get("setBind_CountryName"); setVariable.getParamsMap().put("value", searchTerm); setVariable.execute(); //the data in the suggest list is queried by a tree binding. JUCtrlHierBinding hierBinding = (JUCtrlHierBinding) bindings.get("CountryView1"); //re-query the list based on the new bind variable values hierBinding.executeQuery(); //The rangeSet, the list of queries entries, is of type //JUCtrlValueBndingRef. List<JUCtrlValueBindingRef> displayDataList = hierBinding.getRangeSet(); for (JUCtrlValueBindingRef displayData : displayDataList){ Row rw = displayData.getRow(); //populate the SelectItem list selectItems.add(new SelectItem( (String)rw.getAttribute("Name"), (String)rw.getAttribute("Name"))); } } else{ SelectItem a = new SelectItem("","Type in two or more characters..","",true); selectItems.add(a); } return selectItems; }
So, what we are doing in the above method is, to check the length of the search term and if it is more than 1 (i.e 2 or more characters), the return the actual suggest list. Otherwise, create a read only select item
new SelectItem("","Type in two or more characters..","",true);
and add it to the list of suggested items to be displayed. The last parameter for the SelectItem (boolean) is to make it as readOnly, so that users would not be able to select this static message from the displayed list.
Finally, bind this method to the input text's autosuggestbehavior's suggestedItems property.
<af:inputText label="Country" id="it1"> <af:autoSuggestBehavior suggestedItems="#{AutoSuggestBean.onSuggest}"/> </af:inputText>

Book of Job
Book of Job Loyalty to God Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter:Verse)
Quote #7
'If I have rejoiced at the ruin of those who hated me,
or exulted when evil overtook them—
I have not let my mouth sin
by asking for their lives with a curse. (NRSV 31:29-30)
If I rejoice at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul. (KJV 31:29-30)
Remember the whole "Job did not sin with his lips" thing (2:10)? Here it comes again. Job is trying to clear his name with his friends, but these guys might thing that by asking questions, he's done the deed. Curious about this? Head on over to our discussion of faith perspectives for more.

The Odyssey
by Homer
The Odyssey Book 18 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
Quote 4
Laertes mental anguish has rendered him immobile and ineffective.
(Penelope:) 'How I wish chaste Artemis would give me a death so soft, and now, so I would not go on in my heart grieving all my life, and longing for love of a husband excellent in every virtue, since he stood out among the Achaians.' (18.202-205)
Quote 5
(Penelope:) 'But tell Autonoë and Hippodameia to come, so that they can stand at my side in the great hall. I will not go alone among men. I think that immodest.' (18.182-184)
Women can live up to their principles by being good hostesses, but most of their honorable actions seem to consist in not doing: not remarrying, not killing their husbands, not appearing in front of a crowd of men. Sounds pretty dull, if you ask us.
Quote 6
(Odysseus:) 'Of all creatures that breathe and walk on the earth there is nothing more helpless than a man is, of all that the earth fosters; for he thinks that he will never suffer misfortune in future days, while the gods grant him courage, and his knees have spring in them. But when the blessed gods bring sad days upon him, against his will he must suffer it with enduring spirit. For the mind in men upon earth goes according to the fortunes the Father of Gods and Men, day by day, bestows upon them.' (18.130-137)
Odysseus seems to make himself feel better by thinking that he just has to endure what the gods have designed for him. But seriously? Given what we know about the gods, this doesn't seem like a very comforting thought.
