New York (AP) — An undercover police detective was arrested as fallout from a burst of motorcyclist mayhem reached a new level, with investigators saying the officer was shown on video hitting and kicking an SUV before bikers attacked its driver.
Wojciech Braszczok, who was off-duty when he joined a motorcycle rally that spiraled into violence, was expected to be arraigned Wednesday. He surrendered Tuesday to face riot and criminal mischief charges, New York Police Department spokesman John McCarthy said.
There was no immediate response to phone messages left with Braszczok's attorney, Phil Karasyk. He had previously said the 10-year NYPD veteran only witnessed other bikers attacking the vehicle.
But investigators discovered video evidence showing Braszczok punching an already damaged back window, then twice kicking the side of the SUV before leaving the scene, according to two people familiar with the case. The people weren't authorized to discuss the inquiry and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.
The arrest added to the complexities of the Sept. 29 episode, which authorities say began with a reckless motorcycle group ride on a Manhattan highway. Ultimately, one motorcyclist was run over, and the SUV driver was dragged from behind the wheel and beaten on a street.
Before Braszczok's arrest, four other bikers were criminally charged. The latest was arraigned Tuesday on gang assault and other charges.
But late Tuesday, a fifth person, Clint Caldwell, was arrested on gang assault and other charges. A phone number for the 32-year-old wasn't listed at the address provide by police and it wasn't clear if he had an attorney.
"As we said from the beginning of the investigation, the NYPD and the district attorney's office are methodically scrutinizing the evidence to build the strongest possible cases in our continuing effort to hold accountable those responsible," said Erin Duggan, a spokeswoman for Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr.
NYPD internal affairs investigators began looking into the undercover detective's conduct because he didn't report having been at the rally until three days later. The expectation that police officers will act if they see crimes isn't the same for undercover officers.
The encounter, captured partly on a helmet-mounted-camera video that was posted online, began when about two dozen riders surrounded the Range Rover after it bumped a biker on the West Side Highway. Some riders dismounted and approached the SUV, and police said some bikers began damaging it.
SUV driver Alexian Lien took off, running over motorcyclist Edwin "Jay" Mieses Jr., of Lawrence, Mass. The impact broke Mieses' legs and caused spinal injuries that may leave him paralyzed.
Lien's wife has said he fled to protect her and their 2-year-old daughter. Lien hasn't been charged with any crime.
The bikers pursued the SUV. After it ducked off the highway and got mired in street traffic, motorcyclists shattered the driver's-side window, pulled Lien out and beat and kicked him, police and prosecutors said. Lien needed stitches.
The motorcyclist arraigned Tuesday, Craig Wright, punched Lien through the broken window and joined in stomping him on the street, Assistant District Attorney Samantha Turino said. A judge set Wright's bail at $100,000.
Wright's lawyer, Mitchell Elman, said they would fight the charges.
"There should be no rush to judgment," Elman said.
According to the undercover detective's account, he saw motorcyclists attacking the SUV but didn't see anyone harm Lien, Karasyk said Monday. The detective also didn't see the SUV hit Mieses, the attorney said.
Carrying no badge or gun, and aware that officers have sometimes been suspended or fired for blowing their covers, "he had no other option, so he drove away," said Karasyk, who works with the detectives' union.

Deer Draw Cougars Ever Eastward
By BLAINE HARDEN
Published: November 12, 2002
BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 8— When Greg McCoy found Oreo, his daughter's house cat, in the jaws of a mountain lion early this year, he grabbed the big cat by the tail with both hands, dragged it onto his front lawn and jumped on top of it.
With his left arm, he tried to hold the writhing lion in a headlock. With his right hand, he attempted to yank Oreo from the lion's mouth.
As Mr. McCoy, 37, and 215 pounds, tugged on the bloodied house cat, the lion -- an adult female weighing perhaps 100 pounds -- struggled out of his headlock. Before it ran off to eat Oreo, it swatted Mr. McCoy across the face with a rear paw.
''It felt like a fist with four nails in it and it brought me to my senses and I decided I better let go,'' said Mr. McCoy, a founder of a small company that offers wireless broadband Internet access to people who live, as he does, in the mountains on the outskirts of Boulder. ''I had read about how to deal with a mountain lion, but none of that entered my head when I saw one with my daughter's cat. I was plain mad stupid.''
He was also lucky. The lion left four scratches on his right cheek, which have since healed without leaving scars. Wildlife experts say that swat could easily have torn off much of his face.
These are vexing times for Western suburbanites and the big cats that increasingly skulk among them.
The mountain lion, an ambush predator that was long trapped and poisoned as a varmint, has been resurgent since the 1960's when many Western states categorized it as big game, with limited hunting seasons. No one knows how many there are, but a recent estimate by wildlife ecologists put the number at over 31,000 in 12 Western states.
There may now be more mountain lions in the West than there were before European settlement, said Dr. Maurice Hornocker, a senior scientist at the Wildlife Conservation Society.
''For more than 100 years we kept them away from human development by killing them whenever they showed up,'' said Dr. Hornocker, who has studied mountain lions for more than 40 years. ''That isn't the case anymore, and so they are taking advantage of it. These are highly intelligent and highly adaptive predators.''
The human population in states with mountain lions is also surging, with hundreds of thousands of newcomers, like Mr. McCoy, who moved here two years ago from Georgia, choosing to live at the wild edge of suburban sprawl, where cul-de-sacs meld into mountain lion turf.
This mix has coincided with an increase of attacks on people, which now average about four a year, up from one a year before 1970. Since 1890, mountain lions have killed 17 people, 11 of them children, in the United States and Canada. More than half of these deaths, including Colorado's two confirmed fatalities, occurred in the past 12 years.
Now evidence is growing that mountain lions, the world's fourth-largest cat, are moving east, pushed by their own breeding success and pulled by an abundance of deer, their favorite meal, on the far side of the Mississippi.
A car killed a juvenile male last month on Interstate 35 near Kansas City. It was the first confirmed sighting of a free-roaming mountain lion in the region in more than 100 years. Scientists last year confirmed the presence of seven mountain lions in northern Michigan, where the animals were supposedly wiped out 95 years ago.
Using cover along creek and river beds, the cats appear to be exploring east across the Great Plains, with confirmed sightings or roadside carcasses in Nebraska, Kansas, North Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota. Within the past decade, a thriving population has established itself in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Depending on where they live, mountain lions are also called cougars, pumas, panthers and catamounts.
''They will eventually get to New Jersey,'' or at least close, said Dr. Paul Beier, a professor of wildlife ecology at Northern Arizona University, who has extensively researched mountain lions. ''You need them back in the East because you got too many deer,'' he said. ''They are part of a healthy ecosystem.''
Scientists have had to revise their understanding of mountain lion behavior since the 1990's, when the rate of human deaths began to spike. Once thought to hunt only at dawn or dusk, the cats began to attack suburban deer in midafternoon. Supposedly averse to humans, a threat only to solitary children, they began to stalk adults and even groups.
One attack in particular shook up the experts, said David H. Baron, an environmental writer who is working on a book, ''The Beast in the Garden,'' about mountain lions in and around Boulder.
In 1991, about 20 miles from here, an 18-year-old man was killed while jogging at midday about 200 yards from a high school.
''This was the attack that wasn't supposed to happen,'' Mr. Baron said. ''This was the first adult to be killed and consumed by a healthy full-grown lion in at least 100 years. Since then, many public officials have been afraid the next death could happen at any time.''
Pete Taylor, lead ranger for the Open Space and Mountain Parks Department in Boulder, does not disagree. ''I think it is going to happen in town,'' said Mr. Taylor, who responds to mountain lion sightings in parks and backyards nearly every month. ''It took me eight and a half years to see five lions in Boulder. I have seen six in the last 18 months. We are either getting more lions or the lions are getting more used to us.''
Still, attacks here and across the West remain rare, much less common than fatal lightning strikes, bee stings or spider bites.

In what can only be described as one of the greatest individual performances by any player on the International stage, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has netted four brilliant goals to lead Sweden to a 4-2 upset victory over England.
Amongst his four goals Ibrahimovic managed to net a powerful tap in, volley and long range free-kick. Despite this however, it was Ibra's fourth goal which is sure to set the footballing world on fire. Why? Well put simply, It was a 30-yard overhead bicycle! Phenomenal.
The Swede's four goals takes his total tally for his nation to 43 goals. It was a fitting way to cap of an exhilarating week for the Paris Saint-Germain forward who was awarded Sweden's Player of the Year award.
Sweden took the lead in their clash early on, but were pegged back by two England goals prior to halftime (Danny Welbeck and Steven Caulker). It was left to the 77th minute for the Swedish captain to double his tally, before netting his hat-trick just seven minutes later.
England pushed forward for the equaliser, but after Joe Hart was caught off his line, Ibrahimovic sent the Swedish crowd into raptures catching everyone off guard with his unfathomable strike.
For the most part I would say International Friendlies are not needed during this time of the season, but I am more than willing to eat my words after Ibra's four goal cameo.
What did you make of Zlatan Ibrahimovic's effort?

Many publishers create sites for children using games that are freely available on gaming portals. There are two major problems with this approach. The first issue is that publishers using embedded games have no control over the ads they show to children. The ads that are placed inside the games are not usually intended for young audiences and may not comply with COPPA privacy laws. Another serious problem with using embedded games on children's sites is the presence of one or more links leading children directly to the original gaming portal. It is very easy to click on these links because they often appear to be part of the game. These gaming portals are most definitely NOT for children. For those reasons, Math Playground will NEVER show games originating from gaming portals. Instead, we pay game developers expensive licensing fees that allow us to provide popular games that have no inappropriate advertising, no links to gaming portals or social media, no high score boards, and no user forums. We believe this is the safest option for our young visitors.
Ads make it possible for Math Playground to provide high-quality math and thinking games at no cost to schools and families. A student with access to a computer at school, home, the local library or after-school club can benefit from all that Math Playground has to offer.

Our dedicated servers enable us to display web pages quickly and securely.
Ads allow us to create original content.
It can take a developer anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to design, program and test new games and activities.

Confessions of a Community College Dean
In which a veteran of cultural studies seminars in the 1990s moves into academic administration and finds himself a married suburban father of two. Foucault, plus lawn care.
TB came home today excited to invite me to speak to his class for career week.
I'm not exactly sure how to explain academic administration to second graders.
"Well, I go to a lot of meetings, and I try to get grownups to play nicely and share their toys."
Somehow, I don't see that one capturing the room.
"I make sure we follow the rules." Yawn. "I try to get teachers to behave." Not bad, but I could see the discussion veering badly off-course. "I keep the college on an even keel despite years of public disinvestment." Yeah, second graders are big on 'disinvestment.'
"I drink a lot of coffee, and read and writes lots of emails." Pretty accurate, but it just doesn't fire the imagination.
I bet rodeo clowns don't have this problem...

I got this plugin to try and work out why my function wasn't being triggered and I noticed that the "Next due" column shows dates for when the hook was first scheduled (for example, plugin updates will next be checked in March 2011 when the site was first made).
Is this a sign of my cron not working at all or have I misunderstood what that column is meant to show? Plugin updates do seem to be being found etc so if this is how it does it, this confuses me somewhat!
I have spent hours staring at this stupid schedule/hook/function business and I am tired if trying to get my head around what I am missing; the function works if called on its own, the custom interval is registered fine, the hook is scheduled.

Forests, biomass use and poverty in Malawi
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in Africa and has faced significant deforestation over the years. This paper seeks to examine the nature of the relationship between poverty and forests in Malawi. We try to answer three sets of questions: a) what is the extent of biomass available for meeting the energy needs of the poor in Malawi and how is this distributed? b) To what extent does fuelwood scarcity affect the welfare of the poor? And c) do households spend more time in fuelwood collection in response to scarcity? We answer these questions by matching household surveys with remote-sensing data.

This procedure works, but I'm not so sure that the cam lobes are 180 degrees apart. There's overlap at the top of the exhaust stroke with the intake and exhaust both open at the same time. So the lobes are actually 90 degrees apart...
It doesn't matter, though, because the goal is to get the cam follower onto the non-lobe part of the cam...

> O.K. Even Jeep was very inconsistent over the years of 1941 through 1977 in giving the procedure for valve tappet adjusting.
Examples: In the earliest years W.O. gave no real procedure to adjust the tappets only the specifications.
In the 1950's they stated that tappets could be adjusted either hot or cold.
They even mentioned that the cylinder head should be torqued to specification before adjusting the tappets because
the head gasket compression could affect tappet clearance.
In the early 1960's Willys Motors said to adjust the valves cold.
At this time they stated to simply crank the engine over till that valve was closed before adjusting the tappet.
The problem here is that a valve may be closed but just barely so.
In 1968 Kaiser Jeep Corporation said to place each cylinder at TDC before adjusting the tappets for each cylinder.
This places the tappet onto the low portion of the camshaft lobe.
I say yes that is true but it does not place the tappet at the center line of the camshaft heel. (center of the lowest portion)
I say adjust tappet and rocker clearances only when the "opposing valve" is fully open.
This implys that the valve/ tappet you are adjusting must be fully closed.
With my procedure we are adjusting the tappet while the camshaft lobe is at the very center line of the lobe heel.
But MUCH MORE IMPORTANTLY we don't have to guess if the cylinder being adjusted is truly at TDC for that piston.
Since we are talking about a 4 stroke engine we must all understand the criteria for our particular four stoke design.
Firing order 1-3-4-2 Intake and combustion are always down strokes while compression and exhaust are always upstrokes.
Cylinder # !.......Cylinder # 2.......Cylinder # 3.......Cylinder # 4.......
down/intake = up/compression = up/exhaust = down/combustion
up/compression = down/combustion = down/intake = up/exhaust
down/combustion = up/exhaust = up/compression = down/intake
up/exhaust = down/intake = down/combustion = up/compression
Let me explain the term; "opposing"....
From the above chart or a look at the engine camshaft you can see that the opposing cylinder for # 1 is # 4
and the opposing cylinder for # 2 is # 3.
In fact the camshaft lobes are exact opposites for those cylinders.
Therefore if the tappet for #1 intake is on the peak of the camshaft lobe then the #4 intake (opposing tappet) is on the centerline of the camshaft heel .
If the # 2 exhaust is at its highest point the # 3 exhaust is at its lowest point and so forth.
I will also suggest that for a worn engine the tappet clearances be tightened slightly.
Meaning the feeler gauges should be snug tight upon insertion.
My reasoning for this is already covered in many service manuals under "Factors Affecting Valve Timing"
which has to do with camshaft driven gear backlash.
Perhaps if you first disassemble to inspect the rocker arm / rocker shaft condition. Then if you next adjust valves as I hopefully have clearly explained; then perhaps your valve train noise will subside.
Happy Wrenching ~oldtime~
F -134 intake adjustment is .018. The L -134 intake adjustment is .016. For both engines exhaust adjustment is .016.

You all forgot something about doing the valves on an F-Head:
Step 1. Grow a third arm/hand
I've never encountered any engine that made it more challenging to do the valves - exhaust ones that is.
I recommend buying some cheap box wrenches and grinding the back side of the jaw so they have more "throw". Then cut off the other end to shorten them so you have room to work.
And finally when it comes to valves, remember the old timers rule: "If you can hear them, they ain't burnin'"

The Uninvited is one of the rare Hollywood ghost stories that does not cop out with a "logical" ending. In fact, the film has more in common with British ghost tales of the period, in that the characters calmly accept spectral visitations as though they were everyday occurrences. Roderick Fitzgerald (Ray Milland) and his sister, Pamela (Ruth Hussey), buy a house on the Cornish seacoast, never suspecting that it is a "bad" house, subject to haunting. Before long, Roderick and Pamela are visited by Stella Meredith (Gail Russell), whose late mother, it is said, is the house ghost. It is further supposed that the ghost means to do Stella harm. Stella's grandfather Commander Beech (Donald Crisp) is close-mouthed on the issue, but it is clear he knows something that he isn't telling. Sure enough, there is a secret to the manor: it is inhabited by not one but two ghosts, one of whom is merely trying to shield Stella from harm. Once the film's deep dark secret is revealed (courtesy of a virtuoso "mad speech" by supporting actress Cornelia Otis Skinner), Roderick is able to single-handedly exorcise the estate and claim Stella as his bride. Based on the novel by Dorothy Macardle (with a few uncredited "lifts" from Daphne du Maurier's -Rebecca), The Uninvited remains one of the spookiest "old dark house" films ever made, even after years of inundation by computer-generated special effects. Less effective was the 1945 sequel, The Unseen, which starts well but degenerates into a substandard murder mystery. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Confused.com is a price comparison Web site that depends on the ability of its development team to quickly turn market opportunities into consumer products. In 2009, the team evaluated the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 product stack. Team members are confident that its support for Agile processes and end to end automation, along with out of the box testing will significantly cut the time it takes to get new products to market.
Established in 2002, Confused.com was the first online price comparison site in the U.K. Since then, hundreds of sites have emerged as consumers look for the best services or product deals online. User expectations are high, and customers are quick to drop their search of a site that's slow or difficult to navigate. To remain competitive, comparison sites have to offer customers simplicity, sophistication, and high-performance—along with great deals.
Andrew Brockway, IT Operations Manager, Confused.com, says: "In the last few years, competition from other sites has increased. It's crucial that we protect our market position and present products in a way that inspires customer confidence and trust in our brand. We differentiate ourselves by providing a consistently reliable, easy-to-use online experience—backed up by relevant products."
Increased competition motivated the Confused.com development team to review its application development processes in 2008. Team members realised they needed to be streamlined to support the product teams and business goals. "We've always leaned towards the Agile methodology for creating software, but haven't had the optimum technology implementation and process understanding to follow it consistently," says Brockway. Although the business was successful—a typical day generates around 60,000 unique views for car insurance—Brockway says his team was not satisfied with the previous development environment's speed and ability to deliver new products to market.
As part of a renewed focus on delivery, team members wanted a standardised creative environment that helped them improve development processes, from product design and coding, to testing and deployment. Confused.com turned to Avanade, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner—and winner of the 2009 Enterprise Partner of the Year Award—to complete an assessment of the company's development environment and consequently implement a solid Application Lifecycle Management solution based on the whole Visual Studio 2010 product stack.
Avanade highlighted several key focus areas: optimising the way Confused.com implements and uses its Agile processes and enhancing the technical tools available to the development team. Brockway says: "We needed to focus on the most important issue first, and for us that was optimising the development process." Brockway's team evaluated an early version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2010, and Visual Studio Lab Management 2010, and has now decided to upgrade and standardise its environment. "It provides the whole package, and we expect to improve the time it takes between product conception and its deployment. A crucial feature is the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) for Agile 5.0 process template, which will guide our team to applying the Agile methodology consistently throughout the application development life cycle," says Brockway.
In keeping with Agile processes, the Confused.com development team will be able to model, code, test, debug, and deploy a product within one development tool stack, while all activities are tracked and monitored to ensure the end product reflects the business's goal and quality levels. Team members will rely on the out-of-the-box automated testing tools, reporting and debugging features in Visual Studio 2010 to complement the Agile process. These include:
One stop integrated development environment. The Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate IDE offers integrated development tools such as Intellitrace debugging, static code analysis and enhanced profiling while fully integrated with Team Foundation Server 2010 to support enterprise level Software Configuration Management tooling and task management system.
Proactive reporting tools. Reports, dashboards, and planning worksheets all support employees to move steadily towards the development goals and hence provide clear visibility across the business, development, and operation capabilities.
Support for manual and automated tests. A set of new quality tools in Visual Studio 2010 allows for first class test planning, execution, and tracking as well as seamless integration with virtualisation of test environments using Visual Studio Lab Management 2010.
Brockway says: "The first phase of solution deployment is the architecture topology—this will finish in May 2010. Additional phases include putting in place the optimised Agile processes, a fully automated build environment, and the Lab Management tooling. In August 2010, we'll roll out the entire Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate implementation to the whole development team."
Confused.com is confident that with Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, it has the right tools to support business growth. By providing customised Agile implementation, it's easier for team members to follow practices that support fast, seamless delivery of new products. "The relationship between the business and the development teams is crucial and we feel that Visual Studio 2010 will give us a significant advantage over our competitors," says Brockway.
Increases revenue. When U.K. energy prices rose sharply in 2009, Confused.com was the first to provide consumers with the opportunity to compare supplier rates. Brockway says: "We experienced record traffic and sales at the time. It illustrates how important it is to be first to market. We're confident that with Visual Studio 2010 we'll capitalise on these opportunities to generate more revenue."
Speeds up time to market. Brockway says: "With the Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate tool stack, we can automate every appropriate development stage. Compressing the development lifecycle will help us get new products to market faster and with higher quality than before." The close relationship between the product and technical development teams is also reflected in the quality of the online product.
Enhances productivity and output. The new solution will help Brockway's team test a variety of technologies quickly, and reduces the potential for coding errors. "We can take advantage of new technologies—for example, developing Microsoft Silverlight or cloud-based applications—to respond to consumer demand. Previously, testing products and developing user interfaces was time consuming and complex; with Visual Studio Lab Management 2010 we can now support end-to-end processes of manual and automated testing of these new technology based applications, giving us the edge," he says.
Consolidation of development environments. Brockway says: "Virtualisation is the key to consolidating our various development environments and allowing us to be flexible when it comes to creating test environments. Visual Studio Lab Management 2010 easily integrates with our virtualisation platform – as a result not only have we realised 10 to 1 consolidation levels but also decreased our time to create such new environments from days to hours."
Confused.com is a U.K.-based insurance price comparison site. Established in 2002, it attracts in excess of 60,000 customer visits a day.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
First of all, let me say that what many of you are saying is true about the lack of customer service. The sales reps from the front line to the back line are told they are there for one purpose and one purpose only and that is to sell timeshares. In daily sales meetings the employees are told it's not what you say but, it's how you say it to the consumer. This and the fact that management does not "police " the representatives is another. You are allowed to get away with what ever it takes to get the job done until you are put on the hot seat.
You have managers who are some of the most amazing creative writers you will ever meet when it comes to their financial predictions of what their units
can produce and will push their people to write these ridiculous numbers - no matter the cost.
After writing this you must be wondering why a person would stay and what kind of person would stay. This company on the surface takes very good care of its employees..ie.. full benefits, good income, liberal time off,,etc. They are always considered one of the top 100 companies to work for. I am not alone when I say this that there are alot of people employed for this company who perform their job very well and take pride in doing well.
In reading the one comment written about one of the representatives Ms Prevatt I was somewhat surprised. She always took a hard line with making sure that any individuals she spoke with understand everything that was happening and how they could as an owner proactively protect their interests.
I too worked on the phones with the owners and find it amazing how many individuals would make a major purchase like this without thinking it over. Just one question - wouldn't walking away from a $50.00 premium be a better situation than a $40,000 timeshare you don't, won't need?
The concept of timeshare is wonderful and works for those who truly take the time to learn how to use their product - no matter who is selling the product.
It is unfortunate that this company doesn't recognize the importance of quality customer service, owner education, etc. It is true this company has had many challenges in the past and if only realized that chasing the almighty dollar and " saying whatever it takes " IS unethical, dishonest and a shame.
I like so many others who wanted to do a fair and decent job have come to realize that all the things this company says it stands for are untrue. I will never seek a job in this industry again.

Hi there

Hi there
Meteor works great on my english page but does not show up on my hebrew page. What do I need to do to make it show up here. I have it just below the header and not in content.
Hi, how are you adding the slideshow? Are you using the template tag or the shortcode?
Do you have it added to both the English and Hebrew content, same slideshow or a different one for each? If you are using multiple slideshows, check out this post and see if you might be having a similar problem: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/meteor-slides-and-wpml-multilingual-cms-problem?replies=8#post-1786111
I am using thesis and have added it as a hook below the header. The code I used is below:

<?php if ( function_exists( 'meteor_slideshow' ) ) { meteor_slideshow(); } ?>

PS Sorry I seem to have resubmitted the post so the same question will appear again. I don't see how to delete though.
The template tag should load the slideshow regardless of the language, I can see that the slideshow is loading on the Hebrew page, but no slides are loading.
I think the issue is that the slides you have added are seen as "English" content, and there is no Hebrew equivalent for the slides so it is loading nothing.
There should be a couple of options you could choose from to fix this. You could setup different slides for each language, if the slides have text and you need different slides for each. The other option would be to set it up to use the English content for each language. Otherwise, I think in WPML you have the option on the settings to disable translation on specific post types, like slides so that you can use them sitewide.
Thanks so much for your help. I did have translate ticked on each slide. Once I took this off the slide came through.
I guess I did not really understand what I was doing when I clicked on translate.
No problem Jeremy, glad to hear you got it figured out!

It's not as if Labour is able to scrutinise the Three Brexiteers at the moment. The party hasn't even got a Shadow International Trade Secretary, and Emily Thornberry is having to double up as both Shadow Foreign and Shadow Brexit. Clegg therefore finds himself in the position of Scrutineer-in-Chief as the Brexiteers get to work. After a fairly terrible few years, this is the moment Nick Clegg has been waiting for.
For the first time in my life, I am a floating voter. I have four months in which to make up my mind. At this stage, I am genuinely undecided which way I will vote in the referendum on Britain's relationship with the European Union. My position right now is that I will listen very carefully to both sides, and make my decision when I have to - on 23 June.
The fact that there is, unbelievably in 21st Century Britain, still a taboo surrounding mental illness. Taken along with late presentation of symptoms, and the availability of treatment, it represents one of the main reasons for poor outcomes. Is this problem worse among men? My own experience as both a GP and as an MP would tend to suggest that it is...
In the run up to the General Election in 2015 so far, I have been watching with batted breath on which party's if any would pounce on the issue of mental health and push a positive policy towards a better future for the mentally ill.
Abiding by international norms is what most governments do unless and until those norms can be amended and Abadi should understand that without a truly fresh start, pro-Kurdish voices will become louder.
According to new research published today by Asda (in the 'Mumdex'), mums reported that the rising cost of living is now three times as pressing an issue as youth unemployment and four times as pressing as violent crime.
Vince Cable is making the weightiest contribution on economic policy and theory by any serving government minister in years if not decades.
Liam Fox might of course be entirely serious about making an early move to be seen as prospective leader material - if the reaction of the Tories, post coalition break-up, were to be a lurch to the Right. But it's also tiresomely probable that he's simply providing the necessary scare story, which can then be shot down by the incumbent PM, so that Cameron's rigid position on his chosen course of austerity might be seen as more palatable relative to What Might Have Been.
I hope I may be excused feeling a little smug today - the chickens are coming home to roost in precisely the way I hoped they would. Two successive reports from the government's financial watchdog, the NAO, have effectively endorsed the very difficult decisions we took while I was at MoD.
The collapse of the ministerial careers of Davis and Fox show the stark influence Cameron's reshuffle will have. Lyndon Johnson once said of J. Edgar Hoover that 'it's probably better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in'. Giving an increased number of new MPs a stake in the coalition government's future looks set to be the wisest feature of this upcoming reshuffle.
According to opponents of gay marriage, it is a measure that only attracts support amongst the "metropolitan elite" - according to their analysis once you step outside of Hampstead or Soho , support for equal marriage simply withers away. Former Defence Secretary, Dr Liam Fox was the latest political figure to use this argument, suggested that the Government's proposals for gay marriage represented "social engineering" on the part of a "metropolitan elite." The only trouble is that, in the case of gay marriage, it simply isn't true.
I was as bemused as any man when I heard of Antony Worrall Thompson's arrest... But my very next thought was of Nicolas Robinson. He is the 23-year-old who was arrested for stealing water worth £3.50 from Lidl during the London Riots.
Anyone need to meet some politicians and influence government policy? If you and your company do, there are thousands of public affairs or lobbying companies in Britain touting their wares to business and interest groups, as being capable of arranging a quiet coffee with a minister, a meeting with a civil servant, or organising an invite-only dinner with MPs.
It has only been a few days since Liam Fox announced his resignation as defence secretary, but no doubt there have already been questions over the gov...
Colonel Gaddafi has been killed in Libya after 42 years of a brutal dictatorship. The Libyan people will be celebrating tonight but if, as appears likely, he was killed after suffering wounds from a NATO aircraft it raises questions about the legality of the bombing campaign in Libya.
We shouldn't worry about lobbyists because the industry is actually in its death throes. It is poised to disappear with the power shift from politics to wider society which will take secret decision making, unofficial advisers, and funny handshakes with it.

PORTSMOUTH — Police arrested a local man on Thursday on charges related to graffiti vandalism in the downtown area.
Samuel Demers, 21, of 100 McDonough St., was arrested on three counts of Class B misdemeanor criminal mischief for allegedly spray-painting private property. Police did not specify which properties were vandalized.
Police said the arrest was the result of an investigation that was initiated in November. According to police Capt. Mike Schwartz, investigators identified Demers' "tagging" style.
"There was surveillance, as well as some good detective work by detective Rob Munson," he said.
Police said Demers surrendered himself to a police warrant. He was released on personal recognizance bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in the Portsmouth Circuit Court on Jan. 27.
Police asked that anyone with information related to this case call the Police Department's detective division at 610-7434.

"What are Morality and Ethics?" Dan Fincke on Atheists Talk #313, May 10, 2015
In denigrating atheists, theists will often claim that we have no basis for morals nor a grounding for ethics. We don't have a book, we don't have a source, we don't have commandments that tell us, as atheists, how to be good. Engaging the issue, atheists often make the mistake of listing all the good things that we do as citizens and generally altruistic human beings and rightly we are proud of our efforts. But, we aren't necessarily more moral or ethical than anyone else and so, if we take credit for the good things we do we have skipped a crucial step in argumentation: we haven't defined our terms. When I have asked Christians to define ethics and morals based on the actions we take and contemplate in our daily lives, I discover that it really comes down to their belief that they are "saved," and we are not.
Dr. Dan Fincke is a professor of Philosophy and has written several articles discussing the issues of ethics and morality and is going to return to Atheists Talk to explain Empowerment Ethics and how we can use objective, non-religious means to develop ethics and morals.

The age of people who can be sentenced as youthful offenders could be increased if House Bill 1122 gets the governor's signature.
The bill would allow young adult offenders, age 18 or 19 at the time of the crime and younger than 21 at the time of sentencing to be held in the state's Youthful Offender System.
State Rep. Ellen Roberts authored the bill and says kids held in the Youthful Offender System are less likely to become repeat offenders because they're rehabilitated instead of put into adult correctional facilities.
The bill also ensures other youth in the system are protected by excluding young adults convicted of sex offenses, or class 1 or class 2 felonies.
Roberts says the bill was approved with wide bipartisan support but awaits the governor's signature before becoming law.

Hi I installed a WordPress blog on my server and I am trying to develop my site and implementing an HTML layout my friend made for me. So I try editing the default theme's header code using the WP Dashboard's theme editor. All I can say is the code is so complicated to edit, and it won't allow me to change colors with HTML tags, it only allows me to change colors on the CSS. I am very frustrated trying to implement a simple HTML layout.
BTW the image screenshot of the layout I want to use is this...
So I need a straightforward tutorial on the basics of editing the default theme layout of WordPress. Or if you're willing to help me some other way. I just need to get this project going.

TV Actress Sangeeta Ghosh Back With 'Jee Le Zara'
All set for her second innings on the small screen with a new show, television actress Sangeeta Ghosh says she missed acting all this time. Sangeeta, who became a household name with shows like Mehendi Tere Naam Ki and Des Main Nikala Hoga Chand, is back on TV in a new show Kehta Hai Dil Jee Le Zara.
"I am quite happy to be back on TV. I felt like coming home again. This is like my second innings. I was missing being in front of the camera, I felt like a newcomer. I was missing acting...playing a character," Sangeeta told.
When asked why she chose to stay away from the small screen, she said, "I was busy doing shows that I did not have time for my family. That was the time I realised I should devote some time to my family." However, Sangeeta doesn't regret it. Rather, she is happy to have spent quality time with her family.

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient.

I would vote for Bernie Sanders in a New York minute as well. I have mixed feelings about Hilary Clinton. At this point in time she is the apparent frontrunner in a presidential race, far ahead of any possible republican candidate. I would much prefer her in the oval office over any of the nutcases presented from the GOP side. Like they say: the lesser of two evils.
I'm quite impressed with Elizabeth Warren, senator from Massachusetts. I would love to see her as president. The problem with both her and Bernie Sanders is that they are virtually unknown to the vast majority of the ignorant public. They wouldn't have a chance against the usual superficial personality contests that permeate presidential elections amongst the general populous. I wish people weren't so intellectually lazy.
I would vote for Bernie Sanders in a skinny minute! Mrs. Clinton lost me when she made an impassioned speech in the Senate (in Oct. 2002) favoring the despicable invasion of Iraq. If she really believed the WMD lies, then she's too stupid to occupy the Oval Office; if she knew they were lies, but favored the rape of Iraq anyway....SHE is despicable. (Plus she still has connections to the subversive Family Fellowship and their "prayer partners." Gullible twit.)
Barton is only one of many really ignorant politicians. Mercy! I see that Bernie Sanders (I, VT) is considering running for pres. I like him.
Mindy, you're correct, my birthday is today, the 16th.
Sk8eycat, I love the TED video. Of course, I'm familiar with a clarinet being called a licorice stick, but a carrot clarinet? That was new to me. Cute and funny.
Thanks again to all of you for your wonderful birthday messages. You've made today extra special for me.
I forgot to mention a classic SF short story by C. M. Kornbluth, titled "The Marching Morons," in which everything and everyone are being dumbed-down, and the few freethinkers left on Earth are wearing themselves out trying to keep the world working.
I think it was written in the late 1940s....scary.
I like the late Steve Allen's term, "DUMBTH" As in "warmth." It might be a finite resource...if we let the stupids take over, and their wacky policies kill the rest of us.
Heartless Cheney, formerly semi-intelligent McCain, et al, want to get us re-involved in Iraq, again, and probably the rest of the Middle East.
I just wish the media would stop referring to that part of the world as "the holy land." There's nothing "holy" about any of it, unless living in a desert makes people delusional.
Flying A, a Belated Happy Birthday to You! And some silly music to start your next 50 years:
What is even scarier is that he's on the energy committee. One would HOPE that means he knows and understands something about science in general and energy in particular, but apparently, all Barton knows about is who is lining his wallet with cash.
I can't laugh at that. It's too important to be laughed at. What I do hope is that whoever was being questioned by him came back at him HARD. "Congressman, do you know the least bit about the principles that give rise to wind? Can you define 'Coriolis effect' for me?"
I'd bet a C-note he couldn't.

Gary Caldwell had given the hosts a first-half lead at the DW Stadium but Lambert equalised in the 64th minute and Morgan Schneiderlin put them ahead five minutes from time. However, Wigan roused themselves for one final effort and secured a 2-2 draw when Maloney popped up in the 90th minute to prod the ball home from a corner.
Lambert said: "I'm frustrated about conceding in the last minute, it was a very bad goal to give away. Obviously when the dust settles and you have time to think about it then we're going to think of it being a good point, but right now it doesn't feel like that, it's a bitter pill to swallow. We should have had three points."
He continued: "I thought the performance was brilliant. Throughout the 90 minutes we pressed them, we harried them and we put them under a lot of pressure, and they're a really good football team.
"Last time we played them we got taught a lesson but I thought this time around we showed them how much we've improved and we deserved the three points.
"I thought we deserved a point at Old Trafford and three points here so it's not nice, but when we sit and think about it we'll take positives out of the performances.
"We've been good of late at not conceding many goals. The last two games we've conceded two and these were poor goals, both of them.
"We need to get back on the training pitch and do better next week."

Judge dismisses truck-stop lawsuit
Published: Friday, July 8, 2011 at 11:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 8, 2011 at 11:17 a.m.
A judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Houma business owner who was denied a permit to build a truck-stop casino in 2004.
LaRussa Enterprises sought more than $17.5 million, the money it says it lost when the Terrebonne Planning Commission denied its request to build a proposed video-poker casino at La. 311 and Savanne Road in Houma.
Terrebonne District Judge David Arceneaux dismissed the case, saying Michael LaRussa, and his attorney, Jerald Block, did not prove that the damages were warranted or that the parish denied the permit wrongly.
"The plaintiff simply failed to carry the burden," Arceneaux says in the reasons for his judgment.
Michael LaRussa, who would have served as the truck stop's operations manager, submitted a building-permit request for the La. 311 truck stop in May 2004 after a three-year ban on truck-stop casinos was temporarily allowed to lapse.
That ban had prevented new video-poker truck stops from setting up shop in Terrebonne. But it was lifted upon approval of the parish's master plan, a set of nonbinding guidelines aimed at providing a blueprint for government decision-making over two decades. The ban was restored within weeks and lapsed again in December 2004 when a revised version of the law was passed.
Parish law limits new truck stops to within 1,000 feet of U.S. 90, but Block maintains that ordinance wasn't properly adopted or followed when other truck-stop-casino permits were issued.
David Allen, an attorney representing the parish, said he is pleased with Arceneaux's decision.
"I thought the judge was very thorough in his review of the evidence and thought his decision was supported by the facts and well reasoned," Allen said.
Block, however, said he plans to bring his case to the Louisiana 1st Circuit Court of Appeal.
"We are going to appeal; there is no doubt about that. Nothing written in the judge's reason for the judgment changes anything," Block said.
LaRussa Enterprises originally filed suit in 2004 with the aim of securing the denied permit. The case, now seven years in the making, was delayed multiple times for several reasons, including the self recusals of judges George Larke and Randy Bethancourt. Larke declined the case because his then-wife worked for LaRussa Enterprises. Bethancourt stepped away because he was friends with some of the neighbors who protested the would-be truck stop, citing the light, noise and traffic it would generate.
LaRussa Enterprises is no longer seeking the building permit and is instead seeking the revenue it claims it lost when the permit was denied.
In his decision, Arceneaux said he found no problems with the way the ordinance was adopted by the Terrebonne Parish Council in 2001.
"The court believes that Ordinance No. 6399 was a validly enacted ordinance concerning a matter subject to regulation by the local government," Arceneaux said in the court papers. "Even if the court were to assume for purposes of argument that the plaintiff carried its burden of proving Ordinance No. 6399 is null and void, ... no award of damages would be due the plaintiff in this case except perhaps a refund of the $500 building-permit-application fee it paid to TPCG."
Terrebonne Planning Director Pat Gordon said during his testimony that the fee was not returned because LaRussa did not request a refund.
Arceneaux also said the $17.5 million sought for lost revenue could not solely be claimed on speculation.
"A claim for damages for loss of profits cannot be based on speculation and conjecture; however, such damages need only be proven with reasonable certainty," Arceneaux said in the court papers. Sharing of the casino's profits between the LaRussas and other parties involved in the building's construction was not finalized, the papers say.
The decision also says that had the permit been wrongfully denied, the court would have forced the Planning Department to issue it seven years ago.
"For some unknown reason, when this matter was scheduled for trial on Aug. 26, 2004, ... the parties agreed to continue the same without date," the court papers say. "For almost three years thereafter, it appears the plaintiff took no action to pursue the writ of mandamus it initially sought and subsequently converted this matter to a suit for damages."

Corporate Advocacy Program™
In January 2007, Cingular Wireless announced plans to change its name to AT&T Mobility, bringing back into prominence a name that had been around since 1885. That same month, Apple announced the planned release of the first iPhone. When the handset arrived that June, AT&T became the exclusive carrier for the device in the United States, a distinction that continued for nearly four years. During the interim, as Apple reinvented the smartphone market, AT&T raked in the dollars. Then something strange happened: The carrier began biting the hand that fed it.
AT&T versus Apple After being on friendly terms with Apple, AT&Ts focus seemed to switch.
First, AT&T initially said no to Apples new hotspot feature, which came with iOS 4. When the company finally did allow it, AT&T began charging customers an extra fee. Plus, by adding hotspot, customers were told they would have to give up their unlimited data plans, which were eliminated for new customers in 2010.
To date, AT&T still doesnt support hotspots on an iPad. Verizon Wireless, the nations largest cellular provider, however, does offer this feature and always has.
Next, the Dallas company decided to stop offering limited (and less expensive) SMS text packages. Instead, AT&T began offering only SMS as an unlimited plan for a flat fee of $20.
The reason?
Apple introduced iMessage with iOS 5, which gave Apple customers free texting between iOS and Mac devices. AT&T made sure it continued to make money despite Cupertinos new product. The company did this by raising prices and hurting iPhone customers.
The last strange move arose when AT&T announced plans to charge for FaceTime over cellular, a service which is set to arrive next week with iOS 6.
To get this new feature, AT&T customers must subscribe to one of the companys newly created shared data plans, which are more expensive for some customers. As an added whack to customers, this means those with the previously mentioned unlimited data plans will have to switch to gain the FaceTime feature.
The reason that AT&T has decided to charge extra for FaceTime is that the company is convinced that the feature is an add-on. Because of this, its decided it hasthe right to restrict use.
Meanwhile, Verizon (and Sprint) has announced they will offer the video-calling program on any data plan, and not for an added fee.
Verizon: Apples New Favorite? Verizon has always had a far superior voice network compared to AT&T. In fact, Verizons 4G network covers 75 percent of the companys 375 markets, which is slightly more than what AT&T has to offer.
Couple this with AT&Ts strange moves in recent years, and we may finally see Verizon become the preferred carrier for iPhone buyers. And if this happens, it would be the first time Verizon came out on top since it first received the iPhone 4 in February 2011.
As a long-time AT&T customer, Ive become increasingly annoyed at the company I once respected. Not only do I believe the companys latest moves are anti-consumer, but strangely, AT&T seems anti-Apple. And on this, Im scratching my head. After all, if it hadnt been for Apple, AT&T almost certainly wouldnt have been as profitable as its been in recent years.
The best thing for AT&T might be for customers to abandon it in droves, especially as the iPhone 5 begins hitting stores next week. By doing so, the company may finally realize just how stupid it has become and shift accordingly.
Now let everyone know how you feel.
