I've been using Automattic Stats for my WordPress installs (i.e not wordpress.com), but I've noticed some odd arithmetic: On one blog, clicks for the week on my most popular post is the same as today's count (39), when there were over 70 yesterday alone.
The above happened a few days ago. Today's weekly count is significantly lower than my current day's click count. Is anyone else seeing this new math?

- Mercury News editorial: San Jose should pass housing impact fee
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday turned away a legal challenge to a San Jose affordable housing law, leaving intact the city's effort to address the exploding cost of housing in Silicon Valley.
The justices declined to hear the building industry's appeal of a ruling last year by the California Supreme Court upholding San Jose's law. In a brief opinion, Justice Clarence Thomas observed that the law on the issue remains "unsettled" and needs Supreme Court guidance but agreed with the vote to reject the appeal because the San Jose case had technical legal problems that may prevent reaching the core questions.
The case involved a legal challenge to a San Jose law that would require housing developers to include affordable, below-market priced units for low-income buyers on any new projects within the city. The building industry sued to block enforcement of the so-called "inclusionary housing" law several years ago.
In its appeal, the building industry argued that San Jose's law and others like it across California violate federal constitutional protections against the "taking" of private property. The Pacific Legal Foundation, a conservative Sacramento group representing the industry, pressed the fight to the nation's high court.
"The rights of all property owners were dealt a blow today, as San Jose's punitive treatment of homebuilders was allowed to stand," Brian Hodges, a foundation attorney, said. "It is disappointing that the U.S. Supreme Court has chosen not to review the California Supreme Court's decision to uphold San Jose's inclusionary building mandates."
San Jose city officials welcomed the conclusion of the legal fight.
"(The) Supreme Court ruling could not have come any sooner for the thousands of families in our community who are struggling to keep up with skyrocketing rents, and we look forward to implementing this policy as quickly as possible," San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said.
The state Supreme Court, in a unanimous ruling in June written by Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, determined that San Jose's affordable housing program is within the law, observing: "These problems have become more and more severe and have reached what may be described as epic proportions in many of the state's localities."
The League of California Cities and California State Association of Counties, which backed San Jose in the case, estimate about 170 local governments have put versions of the law in place to deal with the state's shortage of affordable housing, considered an acute problem in Silicon Valley and around the Bay Area.
The state building industry, backed by groups such as the California Association of Realtors, considers such legislation a strong-arm tactic that in the long run will drive up already exorbitant housing prices. They maintain such laws will force developers to simply pass along the cost of subsidizing below-market units to new homebuyers.
In particular, the industry argues the law is an unconstitutional "taking" of property and that San Jose has not established a connection between the building of new housing and the affordable housing problem. Cities, they argue, make that case in forcing developers to pay fees to cover the impact of new housing developments on things such as local schools and parks but haven't done so for affordable housing.
San Jose's law would require developers to offer 15 percent of units in new projects of 20 or more units at below-market rates. Developers could opt out of building affordable units by paying a fee, which the housing industry estimates could run about $122,000 per house.
Housing advocates warned of dire consequences if the Supreme Court invalidated San Jose's affordable housing regulation. California has been considered a model for such laws, designed not only to provide more low-income housing but also to get it built in a larger cross-section of neighborhoods.

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

"It's like if you plant something in the concrete and if it grow and the rose petal got all kinda scratches and marks, you ain't gonna say "damn, look at all the scratches and marks on the rose that grew from the concrete.." you gonna be like "DAMN! a ROSE grew from the CONCRETE?""
"Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them"
"Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth."
"They know, they just know where to grow, how to dupe you, and how to camouflage themselves among the perfectly respectable plants, they just know, and therefore, I've concluded weeds must have brains."
"Why is it that, as we grow older, we are so reluctant to change? It is not so much that new ideas are painful, for they are not. It is that old ideas are seldom entirely false, but have truth, great truth in them. The justification for conservatism is the desire to preserve the truths and standards of the past; its dangers, of which we are seldom aware, is that in preserving those values, we may miss the infinitely greater riches that lie in the future."

hello I'm having trouble creating a navigation in the posts that are being directed to a page template.
simply does not appear any button to "older posts" as you can see here http://travelcouture.com.br/?page_id=589
I tried to add to my template page the following code - in a wordpress copy that i have installed on my test server:
<?php query_posts('cat=40&showposts=6'.'&paged='.$paged);?>
and at the end of the page
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

<?php echo previous_post_link(); ?>
<?php echo next_post_link(); ?>
[Please post code or markup snippets between backticks or use the code button.]
with this code i could bring up the buttons but they link to isolated single post pages and not to a "second page" with a list of several posts.
I read somewhere about instead of using a page template I should use a template category file (do not know how to use it actually) but do not know how to call a template class inside a pages menu - i need a link to this category in my main pages menu.
actually it is already running in the middle of the pages menu - I have the link "Travel tips" which sends to a template page that shows the "Travel" category
- the problem is that this template page with travel category posts dont have pagination - i cant navigate to older posts ..
Anyone know how to make the pagination work properly in my template page
if the best option is to actually create a "template class" and call it in some way on the menu
- How can I solve this problem?
(sorry my english is not so good )

However, the reality is that parents need to work as a team even more so after a split. We've already seen services such as Wevorce aim to make them more amicable by replacing the two-lawyer system with a single common representative who works with both parties. Now SupportPay is an organization tool that can make the process of managing child support payments and post-break up communication less stressful.

I have a navigation bar made up of links to six pages. I have more than six pages overall, and each of the six in the navigation has child pages. The links to the pages are hand coded - I'm not using
I am trying to give the appropriate link in the navigation
class="current" when on either that page or a child of that page (so if on page 'foo' or child of 'foo', the link to 'foo' in the nav has
class="current"). Due to the host this is on refusing to install ISAPI_rewrite (IIS equivalent of mod_rewrite), I can't do this by comparing the URL to anything (if you have a page 'bar' as a child of 'foo', the pretty URL would be /foo/bar, so you could say "if URL contains 'foo', add
class="current"". I'm stuck with "/?page_id=X").
So - is there a way of determining if the current page is a child of another page? I wish to be able to say "if current page is page X or a child of page X do this, else do that".
Thank you for any help you can offer!

This recipe, as simple and fast as it was, got rave reviews from my family. Even my picky toddler ate it and had seconds! That was a miracle. The only change I made was to crush up a couple of cloves of garlic in the beef while it was browning because we're big garlic freaks. I also bought the no-bake jar of sauce so that all I had to do was add the noodles uncooked and let them simmer in the sauce for about 15 minutes with the lid on until they were done. We're also not big on cheese so I only put about 6 oz of the mozarella in and let each family member sprinkle what they wanted on the top of their serving. Definitely will fix this again! Easy and flavorful.
Was very easy and quick to make. My 12 year old son and his friend had to have seconds. This one was a winner in my home and will be made again.
This was very easy and good. A little bland for my taste -- next time I might add some more oregano, basil and garlic.

When Chicken Soup isn't Enough
Stories of Nurses Standing Up for Themselves, Their Patients, and Their Profession
The culture and politics of health care workThe reassuring bromides of "chicken soup for the soul" provide little solace for nurses-and the people they serve-in real-life hospitals, nursing homes, schools of nursing, and other settings. In the minefield of modern health care, there are myriad obstacles to quality patient care-including work overload, inadequate funds for nursing education and research, and poor communication between and
Money-Driven Hospitals and the Dismantling of NursingWe are on the verge of the nation's worst nursing shortage in history. Dedicated nurses are leaving hospitals in droves, and there are not enough new recruits to the profession to meet demand. Even hospitals that were once very highly regarded for the quality of their nursing care, such as Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, now struggle to fill vacant positions.

What Nurses Know and Must Communicate to the Public

Bernice Buresh and Suzanne Gordon have helped nurses around the world speak up and convey to the public that nursing

The Culture and Politics of Health Care WorkIn recent years, there has been growing awareness of the need for interprofessional cooperation in healthcare.

Nurse-to-Patient Ratios and the Future of Health Care
The Culture and Politics of Health Care WorkLegally mandated nurse-to-patient ratios are one of the most controversial topics in health care today. Ratio advocates believe that minimum staffing levels are essential for quality care, better working conditions, and higher rates of RN recruitment and retention that would alleviate the current global nursing shortage. Opponents claim that ratios will unfairly burden hospital budgets, while
Confronting the Inconvenient Problems of Patient Safety
The Culture and Politics of Health Care WorkEach year, hospital-acquired infections, prescribing and treatment errors, lost documents and test reports, communication failures, and other problems have caused thousands of deaths in the United States, added millions of days to patients' hospital stays, and cost Americans tens of billions of dollars. Despite (and sometimes because of) new medical information technology and numerous well
How Health Care Cost Cutting, Media Stereotypes, and Medical Hubris Undermine Nurses and Patient Care
The culture and politics of health care workIn the United States and throughout the industrialized world, just as the population of older and sicker patients is about to explode, we have a major shortage of nurses. Why are so many RNs dropping out of health care's largest profession? How will the lack of skilled, experienced caregivers affect patients? These are some of the questions addressed by Suzanne Gordon's definitive account of the

The most dynamic, comprehensive, and student-friendly text on the nature of microorganisms and the fascinating processes they employ in producing infections disease
For more than a quarter-of-a-century, no other text has explained the link between microbiology and human disease states better than Sherris Medical Microbiology. Through a vibrant, engaging approach, this classic gives you a solid grasp of the significance of etiologic agents, the pathogenic processes, epidemiology, and the basis of therapy for infectious diseases.
Part I of Sherris Medical Microbiology opens with a non-technical chapter that explains the nature of infection and the infection agents. The following four chapters provide more detail about the immune response to infection and the prevention, epidemiology, and diagnosis of infectious disease. Parts II through V form the core of the text with chapters on the major viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases. Each of these sections opens with chapters on basic biology, pathogenesis, and antimicrobial agents.
Features and Learning Aids:
- 57 chapters that simply and clearly describe the strains of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites that can bring about infectious diseases
- Explanations of host-parasite relationship, dynamics of infection, and host response
- A clinical cases with USMLE-style questions concludes each chapter on the major viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases
- All tables, photographs, and illustrations are in full color
- Clinical Capsules cover the essence of the disease(s) caused by major pathogens
- Margin Notes highlight key points within a paragraph to facilitate review
- In addition to the chapter-ending case questions, a collection of 100 practice questions is also included
Sometime in the future, an improved understanding of current worldwide infectious disease scourges will lead to their control. Hopefully, you will find the basis for that understanding presented in the pages of this book.

Hey ladies i was wondering is anyone getting a C section? I ha a C section with my son so they told me i have to get one which im fine with it because with my son i had a hard hard labor and i do not want to ever go through that again!! lol they told me ill have my baby at 39 weeks. How about you ladies?
Is anyone getting a C Section
As of right now its my choice. I haven't decide what I am going to do. I had to have an er c-section at 30 weeks. I had severe pre-e that came out of the blue and almost died from it as well as they lost LO's heartbeat on the monitor. I have the classical (vertical/ up and down cut) but on my uterus my dr did the horzontal. Dr's do the classical cut in true er because its the fastest way to get to the baby. My dr says its up to me what I want to do, she said I could go into labor and decide on a c-section then. My dr said she could cut in the same place if I want her to or she could do the bikini cut, but then I'd have an achor scar. Dh has himself almost comvienced to do a repeat becasue of everything we went through last time and as he puts it "became the statistic." He is afraid we would be the 1% stat were VBAC go horriblly wrong. I'm split down the middle either repeat or VBAC.

In my events template I have the following code:

The problem is the oldest events always appear on top rather than the newest which makes more sense. I've tried orderdir 'DESC' and 'ASC' neither make a difference.
What do I need to add or change to the code above to change the order the events are outputted in? Thank you!

Secure Online Ordering
Did you know that most of the big online sewing machine dealers are owned by men? Men who do not sew. Isn't that interesting? We are women, and we sew. We love to sew and some of us sew daily (the rest of us would like to sew daily). If you call with questions, ask
for Chris, the owner.
If you are ready to purchase, go here
If you do (or don't yet) love free motion quilting, you will enjoy watching as our Joyce tried it on a 8200 for the first time:
Let me tell you about our favorite machines. Until I figure out how to get the "add to cart" buttons in this part of the website, you'll have to go to the online store portion to actually purchase them.
We are a full service Janome dealer. We are in the process of getting set up to sell Janomes on the internet. FYI, certain models are designated to be sold online, and others can only be sold at a store. We carry both.
In the meantime, you can call (630) 321-9051 and ask for CHRIS to get your best information. If you live in the Chicago area, come see us. We are about 20 minutes from O'Hare and 25 minutes from Midway Airport.
We are located at the intersection of Route 83 and Ogden in Westmont. That is also about two miles south of Oak Brook Mall. We are even open on Sunday afternoons, but not Mondays. If you would rather call first, the number is (630) 321-9051. If you are 83, you have to exit at Ogden and go West. Turn in at the light at Pasquinelli by the Mobil station.
Janomes are great because you get much more for your money than the European brands and they almost never need repair. That doesn't mean you shouldn't have it serviced, just that they can take a lot of use.

The Houston County Circuit Court ranks top among its peers in the state.
Twentieth Circuit judges were recognized by Chief Justice Drayton Nabers for reducing the backlog of cases in the circuit.
This put the circuit ranking fourth in the state.
"We're very pleased that we've had this record. Of course, this circuit has been doing well over the past few years, and this goes to prove that we're working for the community," said Judge Honorable Lawson Little, of another wiregrass circuit ranked among the top in the state.
The 33rd circuit came in third. That circuit covers Dale and Geneva Counties.

Dr. Carr was an intern when he first saw me in the late 1990's at Portsmouth Naval Medical Center. He later became my primary doctor and saw me through college, when I had my last 2 surgeries (last in 2003) to correct instability in my knee. Dr. Carr always listened to what was going on with me, and always had a next step. He advised me on which surgery he though would be best for me long term (even though it hadn't been done a lot), found the best doctor (a reservist) to perform the surgery, and then removed the screws from this surgery and a previous surgery to help my dreams of being able to play with my future children (without pain) a reality. To this day, I can not thank him enough for the life he gave back to me (I was inactive for several years due to knee and ankle injuries), and now I am fully mobile and can run and do anything I want. Dr. Carr will always be in the back of my mind, as my life wouldn't have been the same without his help!
Superior physician, highly trained, highly motivated, honest and compasionate.

The lady said her name was Jennifer from Superior Benefits, and all I needed was a one time processing fee of $299.00. She said there would be no annual fee. Then she put me on a line with a lady that said her name was Patrica, she then said she would give me a new pin number. She gave me pin number ****, also she gave me my contract number and a customer service Phone number
1-866-554-0556. Then she asked if she could get my bank account number and routing numbers. Then she said I would get my card in about one week.
On October 7, 2003 they withdrew $299.00 from my checking account. I waited until October 30, still no card came in the mail. I started calling this customer service number but I always got a busy signal or was put on hold and they would disconnect me. In November I finally got a hold of someone and basically lied and said I would have my card in a couple of days that the FEDEX had not picked it up and she would check and get back to me. She never did. I got a hold of them again in Dec. after many tries they said my card was on it's way and sorry for the delays, mean time they were sending me a packet which was new to me. It finally came and there was no Credit card mostly worthless coupons, hotel discounts, cruises, etc. This made me very angry.

Solution for NX2 / Nikon Message Center issue in Win 7 64-bit
Not sure if anyone else has had a problem doing Nikon Updates (via Nikon Message Center) after upgrading to Windows 7 64-bit, but I did. I was not able to run updates from the "help" tab in NX2 and the program would hang for a several seconds at startup (with the blue circle cursor spinning in circles).
After not making progress on this issue with Nikon Tech Support, I did the following on my own it all is working now and NX2 starts up faster. For background, I use a PC with an Intel Quad Core processor (2.4Ghz), Win 7 64-bit, 6GB RAM, NVidia 9800GT 512MB card, and 3 HDs (1 for OS and 2 for photos)
After doing a manual upgrade to Capture NX2 v2.2.4, I checked the files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Nikon\Message Center and saw that there were only 2 files listed: NkMC.exe (176kb) and NkMCLang.dll (56kb). I then installed Nikon Transfer v1.5 and saw no change to this folder.
Prior to upgrading from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit, I used the Microsoft Easy Transfer Program to copy all my files and setting to one of my alternate hard drives. This transfer folder was called windows.old (created by the Easy Transfer program). So I decided to check what was in the Message Center folder in the Windows.old folder, since Message Center worked before I upgraded.
There were 8 files in that folder, including a large NkMC.exe (1,268kb) and the NkMCLang.dll. So I renamed the 2 files in my newer Message Center folder (I just put the workd "former" in front of the file name), and then copied the 8 files from the Message Center folder from Windows.old. I rebooted the system and all worked flawlessly.
***If anyone has read this far AND is using NX2 with Win 7 64-bit, can you tell me what files are in your <Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Nikon\Message Center> folder?

I upgraded my laptop from Vista Professional 64-bit to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I have been having problems with color management that appear to be isolated to NX2 (see this thread). I have done an uninstall followed by a reinstall, but don't see any difference in the color management problem. I haven't tried starting the Message Center, but here are the contents of the directory that you asked for:

Thanks. I am going to recalibrate my monitor and setup color management later this weekend. So I can't tell you if I have those problems yet.
Let me know if your updates work via message center. The files you listed were the exact ones (same dates) I had before in my old Message Center folder, before updating to NX2 v 2.2.4 in Win 7, with the exception that the my older NkMC.exe file (10/19/2006) was much larger than NkMC.exe file (4/16/2007) you listed. I did try to run the newer NkMC.exe file (4/16/2007) with the rest of the older files, but that didn't work.

I found the same list as noted by Danny above, and checking for updates from NX2 works fine in my system.
Danny started another post that might be useful to you regarding color management, and there are some good pointers there on Win7 installations and woes that have shown up. In my case, I needed to replace an older NVIDIA card, even after trying the newest drivers.

If I start NX2 and select "Help -> Update Capture NX 2...", I get the following error message after a short pause. I can not tell if it is a problem with the message center or if it there is a problem with Nikon's server. I am definitely connected to the Internet though.

That was the same error I was getting. When I replaced the NkMC.exe file with the older version (the one I was running before the upgrade) it then worked well.
I just checked an update and it seemed to work - that is it went out, communicated with the Nikon server, and told me there are no updates available (I have 3 cameras and a few Nikon software products listed in Message Center that it checks each time I update).
On my computer, the newer version of NkMC.exe installed after I upgraded to Win 7 64-bit and then did the NX2 reinstallation and ver 2.2.4 update (manually). This file is dated 4/16/2007 2:41pm (EST) on my computer and has a file size of 176 kb.
The one I replaced it with, that works, was from before this upgrades and is dated 10/19/2006 12:02 pm and is 1,268 kb.
I'll try to share this info with Nikon Tech Support next week, but I think there is a bug in the newer NkMC.exe file with Win 7 64-bit. Although I have not done any detailed diagnostics, I do think my NX2 starts up faster and runs better now that my Message Center is working properly.
Thanks for sharing,

The tips are inserted like any IEM, but the housings fit me as if I were wearing an earbud (and they hold fine wearing them like that). I find the fit with the earguides very comfortable and secure (I have the old, smaller earguides that shipped with the last GR07 version).

Data entry is generally a fairly boring topic, but we do throughout the course of using Excel need to put data in this worksheet, that worksheet. A few tips here are going to make this a little bit easier. In column A we have Name. We are going to be building a small list here, let's imagine. In column B we want to put in for example a current salary or 2011 salary. I would like to have the 2011 appear above Salary because maybe the entry below, it's not going to be that wide. So rather than putting in an entry and then using a command to format this, you can as you type an entry, press Alt+Enter to force a line break.
Keeps the data in the same cell, but it puts the data under the previous entry. I pressed Alt+Enter after the 2011. I am typing Salary. Now I am pressing Enter. It looks like this. And you could stack these up multiple times too. If I want to put in 2011 Tax Rate, the indicator below that maybe is only going to be a letter or two, 2011, Alt+Enter, Tax, Alt+Enter, Rate. Probably what a lot of people would do also as a follow up here, it would be on the Home tab to perhaps put these in the top of the cell, using that Alignment button there or maybe in the middle, whatever it looks best to you.
But Alt+Enter is fast, and it's easy, and it's ideal for situations where the column needs to be a lot narrower than the actual heading, fast and easy. There is also a feature in Excel called Auto Complete. It's been around for a long time. Suppose some of the names here, maybe it's a slightly different setting, the names might be recurring. So I am going to put in Smith right here and Anderson. And I am about to put in Smith again. I'll just type the S, and sure enough this pops up. This feature is referred to as Auto Complete. It only works with text.
It only works in columns. It's quite handy though. If I am about to type Sanders, well of course, I don't want to type Smith. I will type a and then nders. Now what happens when I type the letter S? It doesn't prompt with anything, until I put in the most significant character, in this case the second one. If I put in a, it's going to prompt me with Sanders and so on. If you do have a situation where names start to repeat or words or text repeat, you can get to this two other ways. If you reach that stage where you rarely will have any new entries, you can do one or two things.
Right-click and pick from dropdown list that's automatically generated. You will have your list in here. It will be alphabetized. Do that. Another way from the keyboard, Alt+Down Arrow. That activates the list then use your Arrow keys come to the one you want, press Enter, and so on. And as you add names to the list, this list will grow and here, and there you are going to say, well, it's gotten too big, so it might as soon as you reach 8 here. You will see a scroll bar as well. Again, it's Alt+Down Arrow to activate the list, then the arrow keys to come to the one you want. If you are putting in a series of numbers, maybe a different setting than the data here suggests, maybe it's an ID number or maybe it's a transaction number.
It could be one of those situations where you won't care what the number is. You just want to make them different somehow. So imagine in that kind of a situation. You might start with a number like this, 1001, and every time you put in a new number, just the next number, next number, next number. If you drag the lower right-hand corner of the active cell when it has a value, it simply repeats the entry. That's disappointing to a lot of people. They would like to see a change. A lot of you hold down the Ctrl key, it will. It will change by 1. Now as you do this though, make sure you let go with the mouse before the keyboard.
So as far as you drag this, I am holding down the Ctrl key here. As soon as I let go, these have all grown by 1. If you try and you create a series with a particular interval, there is no reason to write formulas. If you wanted to for example put in 5, 10, 15 or whatever, that sort of thing, put in two of the entries, highlight both of them and then drag from the corner to get your series. So whatever that interval happens to be, this will happen over and over and over again. In a different setting here too, if we happened to be using this, this way, if we highlight the 2 and drag upward, it goes backward in time.
You can create these series in a row too. If you drag rightward, just as you would downward, the series will grow. If you drag upward or leftward, it goes in reverse order. I think most of the time we are talking about dragging down a column, but it works in all four directions. Just be sensitive as to the way it moves. So these tips will help you in filling in certain kinds of data. One other slight tip here, and I say slight because it's not major, but it's handy at times. It reminds us the second or two we save here and there sometimes makes a difference. In this worksheet imagine that we are about to create formula here for New Salary.
Maybe it's based on this percent or maybe it's just a simple formula based on this. Looking ahead, we would want to be copying the formula down this column. So what if I were to write a formula here. Equal this current salary times this rate. I am going to press F4 to make it an absolute address, because we want to be able to copy it down the column and then simply add on the original salary. Now what happens when I press Enter? The active cell moves down. That's the default setting in Excel. Let me go back up here and imagine I am still typing this.
If I know that I am about to copy this down the column, because I don't want to have to reposition this, I am going to press Ctrl+Enter instead the active cell doesn't move; it stays in place. Then I can either drag or double- click depending upon which shortcut I know, 7.17] double-clicking is going to be best here, but I don't have to reposition the active cell. And any time you are about to copy a formula as you are writing it and you can sense it ahead of time, just press Ctrl+Enter. Now occasionally you might find yourself in this situation where it's more convenient if you are typing data to have the active cell move to the right, and you probably know that you can press the Tab key or the Right Arrow as you finish an entry.
But if you wanted to be a little bit more mechanical, let's say, or automatic, you can, and probably temporarily, click the File tab, go to Options and then choose the Advanced category in the left-hand side, and the very first choice says After pressing Enter, move selection. Probably this says Down, and you probably want to leave it that way, but if you don't want the active cell move anywhere as you press Enter, you might Uncheck this, or if you have a situation work for a file, you want the automatic reaction to move right, well then pick that choice.
I think few people need this or use this, but at least recognize that it's there. Occasionally maybe someone has been playing with it and has set this, and it's on their computer, and you are using their computer you might have some surprises there. Just recognize that it's there. But the value of the tip mainly is to just save that second or two, so that you don't have to reposition the active cell after writing a formula.

The final challenge for me is to resist buying another HP set (and reviewing it) but for Harry it is to find the Philosopher's Stone before Professor Quirrel does. This set can take you right into the action with it's Holographic picture, and revolving door. Stop He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named from gaining eternal life and destroying the world as we know it.
Name: The Final Challenge
Set Number: 4702
Theme: Lego Harry Potter
Sub Theme: The Philosopher's Stone
Year: 2001
Pieces: 60
Minifigs: 2
Recommended Age: 6 - 10
Price: AU$29.99 US$16 - 30, GBP 8.99
Links: Brickset Peeron Photobucket
The Box:
A fairly large box for a 60 piece set, measuring 19cm x 14cm. The cover art shows the playability of the set, with the revolving door in action and Quirrel about to be trapped by the spiders web.
The back cover of the box, "just imagine..." Just imagine what exactly? The alternative builds are somewhat confusing to me. Harry (with his cape on upside down) and Quirrel together using the spiders web to fling Grey things into a container??? Is this an arcade game? And then Harry with an
On the top of the box there is a great action shot of Harry and Quirrel playing 'invisible' football. Harry is quite obviously cheating with his wand out.
The Contents:
All the contents of the box, including 1 instruction booklet, 2 bags, a loose base piece, door frame, roof pyramid and the Holographic Sticker.
The Booklet:
A length ways booklet, showing the same picture as the cover art, but with a little extra of the brick owl archway seen on most HP sets.
A random page of the instructions, showing steps 8 and 9. There is only sixteen steps all up.
The Pieces:
All the pieces set out, this set has quite a few special or rare pieces, including the Sand Green Pyramid, the revolving door and frame and the spiders web.
The rest of the pieces, including many 1x1 hollow studs, and a red gem piece.
Pieces of Interest:
The Philosopher's Stone, or a TransRed Faceted Gem! this pieces is found in 62 different Lego sets as far back as 1998. So it is not rare to say the least but it is a nice piece to have around.
The Cloaks, this set contains two cloaks, one is plain black and another black with silver stars. The latter wasn't put in the cardboard properly and is all bent over . Not sure if you can iron this piece .
Fluro Orange Spider and Spider's web, this web piece is quite old but was released in two of last years 2008 Indy sets, one in White and one in Dark Grey.
The Black Bat has been around since 1997, and is also available in Dark Stone of Dark Grey. I love this piece but do wish there was an upside down hanging version of it.
This Pyramid piece in Green is exclusively available in four HP sets. It is quite a well formed piece, big, but not 4+ looking. Very good for MOCs.
A Black Owl, the Owl pieces comes in nearly all of the HP sets in various colours, it is available in the odd Belville set also.
The Holographic Picture... apparently this is a sticker but for the life of me I couldn't find how to un-stick it. So it is double sided taped on at the moment. This piece is awesome, I am super excited to see the effort that TLG put into this piece. Harry is standing still, then as you turn the pieces left or right to see him pull the Philosopher's Stone out of his pocket just like in the movie. Brilliant! Makes for extra playability.
The Minifigures:
This set has a yellow Harry in the old Grey Gryffindor uniform used only in 2001 and 2002. this is the old Harry face as well with his eyebrows behind his glasses. Which brings me to an interesting point about the Holographic picture. Notice anything?
Quirrel. Ahhhh Quirrel. What a great (and exclusive) minifig we have here. Just look at that Turban His torso is great also, with such detail, see how the 'rest' of his turban wraps around his shoulders just like in the movie. There is no print on the back of his torso which is a shame, as he is used half the time from the back due to his double sided head.
I've added a shot of Quirrel close up, just look at his features, this is a great face. I just love that mouth. When you turn his head around we have Voldemort, what a hideous creature he is. TLG have done justice to that fact, with the slits for a nose and the evil red eyes. Very cool indeed!
Harry and Quirrel with all accessories
The Build:
the first step of the build is to place the stone and the Holographic picture on the Revolving Door Trapezoid Base and the insert it into the Revolving Door Frame.
This shot is showing the stone side of the door, It has a very reflective and easily marked surface. (beware of fingerprints)
Add a few pillars and the handles for the Web.
Here we have four Grey inverted slopes, which are the base for the pyramid to sit on.
The Finished Product:
Although there aren't may pieces the height given to this set makes it feel larger than it actually is.
A side shot of the set,
Top view of the set, there is sufficent space to have the Web hanging down from the top of the set instead on laying on the ground.
The complete set.
The Final Verdict:
Design: 7/10 This set is quite small, the original scene in the movie took place in a massive underground room, I think a little more effort could have been put into the size of this set. But as usual, you get wide range of colours and pieces.
Build: 9 /10 Simple, easily done, the non sticky sticker was the only difficulty I had.
Playability: 8 /10 A few animals, the spiders web, the revolving door and the Quirrel/Voldemort head make this set easy to play with.
Minifigures: 10/10 Harry is a great Minifig to have, and this rare Quirrel fig with a Purple turban, great torso and double sided head is just too good. Definitely worth getting for him alone.
Price: 8/10 This is the only set with the Quirrel fig so it is going to be a little pricey nowadays, but you get some rare pieces so I think it is quite a fair price.
Overall: 8/10 I'd love to give it more because of the Quirrel fig but the lack of pieces lets this set down. Even by making the base a slightly larger one this set could have been so much more realistic.
Just For Fun:
I just couldn't resist using Quirrel's face for a female, that mouth... it's just too luscious. What do you think? Drag Queen or Elegant Lady?

Carlos Quintana Retires After TKO Loss To Thurman
By Rick Reeno
Former welterweight champion Carlos Quintana (29-4, 23KOs) has decided to call it a day. The Puerto Rican boxer announced his retirement on Saturday night, after suffering a fourth round TKO defeat to Keith Thurman (19-0, 18KOs) in an HBO televised fight at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California.
"This is the end for me, I'm not going to start again at zero," Quintana said after the loss.
The 36-year-old boxer was often brought in as the opponent, but every so often he pulled a rabbit out of his hat and scored an upset win - as he did in 2006 when he decisioned an undefeated Joel Julio and then in 2008 when he scored a major upset with a decision victory over an undefeated Paul Williams. He was thrown in with Deandre Latimore earlier this year on the Floyd Mayweather-Miguel Cotto pay-per-view undercard, and once again scored an upset with a fifth round TKO win.
He gave us alot of good fights, I wish him luck.Comment by Optimistic on 11-26-2012

The New Bear in Town
By Charles Siebert
Published: December 9, 2003
One day soon we will be reading about a bear sighting in New York City. A Manhattan bear is a distinct possibility, should the prospective rogue prove to be as venturesome as those coyotes who have been observed crossing various bridges into Gotham and dodging late-night taxis on their way toward Central Park. Nor can one rule out an ursine visit to Brooklyn, although this would require a rare Two-Bridge or Bridge-and-Tunnel Bear. No, the initial encounter is most likely to occur in the Bronx, that borough being contiguous with the mainland's Eastern corridor, where the black bear has staged such a remarkable comeback -- some biologists estimate the bear population to be as high as 3,300 in northwest New Jersey alone -- that the state yesterday opened its first sanctioned bear hunt in 33 years.
I imagine our lone Bronx bear hiding by day in the New York Botanical Garden's Hemlock Grove, one of the few remaining tracts of natural uncut woodland in New York City, and then making a late-night stop at a McDonald's trash bin before finally being drawn -- by both scent and sensibility -- to the bear enclosure at the Bronx Zoo. His arrival there would reflect the awkwardness of the situation that we and our wild cohabitants in the Eastern United States now find ourselves in: a free-roaming bear staring at the ones we cage in order to best represent their presumably imperiled state.
A deep disquiet attends the solace we take from hearing of the wild's re-emergence within our civil environs: white-tailed deer, coyotes, black bears, even bobcats. Their presence seems, at first, to engender a kind of reprieve, as though we've finally arrived at a truce with our wild counterparts.
The actual story is more complex and less idyllic. With the steady shift over the past century of agriculture to the Midwest and the Plains, along with the replacement of wood heat with coal, oil and gas, the East Coast's forests have, by and large, been allowed to flourish. And within them have returned many of the animals we long ago assumed had been permanently displaced. This change, in tandem with the spread of suburbia into those same reforested regions, has brought two burgeoning populations (animal and human) face to face. And this, of course, is where the trouble begins -- where our romanticization of the wild gives way to thornier questions about how best to broker the peace with it.
For some recently restored predators in our midst, the peregrine falcon, for example, the reinstatement process remains an all-around feel-good story. To a falcon -- a creature built to hover, both literally and figuratively, above the fray -- our most audacious spires provide ideal perches and nesting places. Some of the city's most deeply entrenched and opportunistic wild cohabitants, meanwhile (rats and pigeons), provide the falcon an abundant food source, one an overwhelming majority of New Yorkers are happy to part with.
When it comes to a large, wingless, territorial creature like a bear, however, things quickly become more complicated. A recent study of the black bears living in and around developed parts of the Sierra Nevada has shown that they readily become inveterate garbage pickers. The fast-food trash bin, in fact, has proved to be such a consistent and abundant food source that these bears have stopped hibernating altogether, have switched from their natural daytime hunting schedule to an ''after hours'' foraging routine, and are now beginning to show signs of obesity. Many have been found by day sleeping off their binges beneath city trees.
In New Jersey, meanwhile, black bear breaking-and-entering incidents have nearly doubled in the last five years, rising to 57 so far in 2003 from 29 in 1998. There has been, as well, a steady surge of nuisance complaints: bears rummaging through campsites, attacking livestock, raiding bird feeders and beehives, and threatening pets. In 1999, police and wildlife officials euthanized four bears; last year, they killed 35. Two attacks on humans were also reported, and though neither resulted in serious injury, state officials finally felt compelled to react.
In July, the New Jersey Fish and Game Council approved a hunt limited to the area roughly defined by Hunterdon, Morris, Passaic, Sussex and Warren Counties, all in the northwest part of the state. The decision was not without controversy. Specialists called in by the state's environmental commissioner were far from unanimous in their support. Some said the rising bear population merited a limited yearly hunt that could be sustained indefinitely. Others argued that the state's bear census was unreliable and that the hunt should be postponed until further studies could be conducted and other options explored. Still, the commissioner ultimately decided to back the council's decision, as did a reluctant Gov. James E. McGreevy, a Democrat who had won the backing of environmental groups in part by promising to protect the state's bears.
Part of the rationale for going ahead with the hunt was that it was better to designate the black bear a game animal than a public nuisance. Otherwise, as one hunt supporter from Millville, N.J., said at a public hearing last summer, the authorities would be pressured to exterminate bears. ''Bears will be seen as vermin,'' she said, ''and I don't want to see that. I think it is a magnificent animal.''

Equations and Inequalities
At a Glance - Eliminating Fractions
Aw...what did they ever do to you?
When lots of fractions are involved, there's another way to make an equation look simpler before solving it: get rid of the fractions. Sweep them away, pack them in garbage bags and dump then into the bay. But not really, because that's littering. To get rid of the fractions, we pick a useful number and multiply both sides of the equation by that number. The number is useful if multiplying eliminates all fractions.
Plus, if the number does a good enough job cleaning up the fractions, maybe we'll see how it does with our bedroom.
Sample Problem
Solve the equation .
Way 1: Subtract 2/3 from each side so that , then simplify that right side.
Way 2: Find the LCD of the fractions—in this case, 6. Multiply the left-hand side of the equation by 6 and the right-hand side of the equation by 6 to get:
Oy. So many fractions and parentheses, we'd better simplify this sucker. Fortunately, it simplifies to:
4 + 6x = 1
Much better. Notice that there are no longer fractions in the equation, not to mention that the parentheses are gone as well, which is a nice bonus. Now subtract 4 from both sides.
6x = -3
So is the solution to the equation. We wound up with a fraction anyway, but it sure was nice being without them at least for a little while.
Make sure you understand that getting rid of fractions isn't the same thing as "simplification." When we "simplify," we rewrite the expressions on each side of the = sign to be tidier, but we don't change the value of either expression. When we eliminate fractions, we're multiplying both sides of the expression by the same number and therefore changing the values of both expressions—but in such a way that the scale is still balanced. Each side is much, much heavier. In fact, we should probably put the whole thing on a sturdier table.

By Chris ClaytonDTN Ag Policy Editor
WHITE COUNTY, Ind. (DTN) -- A scout team moving north from Fishers, Indiana, through north-central and western Indiana counties Tuesday morning found better averages for corn and soybeans on the Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour than scouts saw farther east on Monday.
Samples collected in central Indiana averaged 162.5 bushels per acre in Howard and Miami counties, but the estimated yield from a field in Tipton County, Indiana, was 193 bpa.
A field sampled in Cass County had a larger average ear length of 7.7 inches, which calculated out to a potential yield of nearly 223 bpa.
Another eastern-leg scout team reported an average yield of 182 bpa from Indiana stops and pulled a corn sample from Vermillion County, Illinois, that calculated out at 235 bpa.
Still, not every sample looked like a field of dreams. A cornfield in White County, Indiana, had corn borer infestations attacking ears, and the soybean field across the road was facing problems with sudden death syndrome.
Overall, scouts on multiple routes in Indiana were measuring higher soybean plant populations and pod counts than what scouts found in Ohio Monday. Pod counts in a 3-foot-by-3-foot span were topping 1,500 pods, about 300-400 pods higher than samples measured Monday.
Crop tour veteran Bill Bayless, a farmer from West Mansfield, Ohio, said the early samples in central and west-central Indiana looked like solid potential crops.
"The beans are looking really great in this area," Bayless said. "The corn looks good, but not maybe as great as the bean crop is. Overall, both of them together, the farmers will be really happy with their yields this fall."
Yield calculations on the crop tour take a total ear count from 30 feet of adjacent rows. Three ears are pulled from one row from stalks five, eight and 11. Those ears are measured for grain length and the number of kernels are averaged in each ear. Then, the calculations are divided by row space.
For instance, the field with 223 bpa yield had an ear count of 104 ears in two rows. The average ear length from the samples was 7.7 inches and the average kernel rows came to 16.7 (two ears had 16 kernels and one with 18 kernels). The math came to 104 x 0.5 = 52 x 7.7 grain length = 400.4 x 16.7 average kernels = 6,686/30-inch row width = 222.87 estimated bushels per acre.
