PNBR has been held each year since 2009, on a Saturday or Sunday in late August or early September, usually in mid-to-late afternoon. PNBR is one of a few WNBRs that occurs on a different date than the synchronized rides which occur on the second Saturday of June for the Northern Hemisphere cities. The first ride was organized for Labor Day weekend to minimize any potential trouble with residents and police as most of Philadelphia's population travels to the New Jersey beach towns (the "shore") or the Pocono mountains for one last summer fling that weekend. Riding near this traditional date has continued but has shifted back or forward by one week to avoid a Labor Day weekend music concert now held each year on the Ben Franklin Parkway.
Philadelphia's first ride was on Sunday, September 6th. The main organizer estimated "more than 700" riders assembled along the Schuylkill Banks trail for the inaugural ride (see archived article). No videos of the entire group passing by have been found so far to check the estimate. Riders and onlookers were separated at the Locust Street entrance to the trail. Riders assembled on the lower trail between Walnut and Chestnut streets while onlookers were encouraged to watch the meet-up and cheer from the elevated ramps and walkways between the two bridges. A small changing/body painting area was set up beneath the ramps between Walnut and Chestnut for riders wanting some privacy to get ready. The non-riders at the meeting place were excited and supportive. With over 1,000 people at the site, including spectators, there were only two reports of crude or aggressive behavior by non-riders before departure.
Preparations were completed within an hour and a half. There was communication with police at the meeting site and an escort was provided. The PNBR drummers marched down the trail to start the ride. The Philadelphia Police were outstanding: respectful and supportive, stopping traffic at major intersections, and staying throughout the route. An errant rider led a group of approximately 40 on a fast paced, and at times difficult, alternate route. They made it to the after-party unscathed.
The route was about 4 miles long and went from the Schuylkill Banks trail to Rittenhouse Square, along Market Street, around City Hall, past Independence Mall, thru the 5th Street tunnel and ended at 5th and Fairmount. Getting off the street and into the after-party was time consuming, but police continued to help direct traffic and riders until the intersection was cleared.
The second ride was on Sunday, September 5th and had awesome weather with around 1150 riders along Market Street based on an actual count from a video of the entire group (note: turn off 3D in video options before viewing). The group gathered in the Lemon Hill area near Boathouse Row in east Fairmount Park for body painting and other pre-ride activities. There were a few accidents during the ride but luckily only mild ones. It was about a 4 mile ride that lasted for about two hours and ended at the Piazza at Schmidt's in the Northern Liberties neighborhood.
The third ride was on Sunday, September 4th. About 1200 riders attended (the highest PNBR count to date) based on an actual count from a nearly 10-minute-long video of the entire group. The weather appeared to be cloudy but warm based on minimal clothing on spectators along a rain-free street. The group gathered at the boathouse on the west side of the Schuylkill River in Fairmount Park before setting off on a trip of probably about 8 miles winding past the Art Museum and through Center City ending at the Piazza once again.
The fourth ride was on Saturday, August 25th. About 925 riders attended based on an actual count from a video of the entire group along Market Street. The ride began at Columbus Blvd and Washington Avenue in the Washington Avenue Green and an adjacent parking lot. The weather was warm but cloudy with a small chance of rain though only a light sprinkle fell for just a few minutes while the group was still assembling. Police asked the group organizers to leave a little earlier than planned due to a request from a Sweet 16 party happening in a building within sight of the start location. Police blocked Columbus Blvd to help riders get off to a quick start westbound on Washington Avenue and also blocked some major intersections along the route. Leaving early combined with the chance for rain probably caused the lower rider count from the previous year. The riders went along a 10 mile route thru South Philly, around Rittenhouse Square, the Ben Franklin Parkway, City Hall, Independence Mall, Old City and thru the 5th Street tunnel. The ride finished at the Piazza again for the third year in a row. An informal clothing-optional party continued in the Piazza.
The fifth ride was on Sunday, August 25th. Around 1150 riders attended based on actual counts from videos of the entire group: video1 and video2.
The ride started from an empty lot adjacent to the southwest side of Penn Treaty Park on the Delaware River and went a full ten miles across the city to the Art Museum, down the Ben Franklin Parkway, around Rittenhouse Square and City Hall, along South Street and back up through Old City and the 5th Street tunnel to finish at the Piazza.
The weather was absolutely gorgeous, 85 and sunny, though perhaps a bit too sunny for the shadeless starting point. The pace of the ride was slow most of the way, but with a few faster sections and a few stops. It took about five minutes at a good pace (see video2 above) for the whole pack to pass an intersection on Spring Garden St.
New owners at the Piazza put the kibosh on the naked after-party at PYT that had been enjoyed the previous three years, and the attempted hangout in the parking lot next door was spoiled by, well, parked cars.
The sixth ride was on Saturday, September 6th. Much lighter turnout of about 850 riders based on an actual count from a video of the entire group. The lower number is probably due to an inaccurate weather forecast for thunderstorms, heavy rain and high winds. On ride day only a few minutes of very light drizzle occurred while riding near the Art Museum and there were no high winds or lightning. Weather was very warm but mostly cloudy when the riders started once again in the empty lot adjacent to Penn Treaty Park. The approximately 10-mile-long route passed thru Chinatown, along the Ben Franklin Parkway, past the Art Museum, around University City, back into Center City, around Rittenhouse Square, City Hall, Independence Mall, the 5th Street tunnel and back to the starting point after about 2 hours. A nice relaxed after-party and informal yoga session occurred for an hour or so, then the police dispersed the remaining crowd of riders from Penn Treaty Park. Some clothing-required parties for PNBR riders were held in bars near the Piazza.
The seventh ride was on Saturday, August 29th. Based on actual video counts of riders, there were about 925 (video1-copy video1-original) to 1050 riders (video2) at various points along a shortened 8 to 8.5 mile route. The riders completed the route in about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Plans to go 10 miles changed along with the start location after Fairmount Park police and Philadelphia police told the organizers to leave the park as they did not have a required permit for a gathering there. Philadelphia police also requested that the group leave earlier than planned from the new starting location at Drexel Park in University City, either due to the lack of a permit once again or because residents adjacent to the park or visitors to the park made complaints. No arrests or any troubles ensued at any point and the ride was another success on a mostly sunny day with highs in the 80s. Route went around University City, into Center City, around Rittenhouse Square, City Hall, Independence Mall, the 5th Street tunnel, Chinatown, Center City again, along Broad and South Streets, and finished in the athletic fields adjacent to the west side of Jefferson Square in South Philly. Clothing-optional parties were held that night right after the ride at Isaiah Zagar's warehouse art studio in South Philly, and at a few bars in the city that were liberal enough to allow nudity.

AbstractUnmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent a quickly evolving technology, broadening the availability of remote sensing tools to small-scale research groups across a variety of scientific fields. Development of UAV platforms requires broad technical skills covering platform development, data post-processing, and image analysis. UAV development is constrained by a need to balance technological accessibility, flexibility in application and quality in image data. In this study, the quality of UAV imagery acquired by a miniature 6-band multispectral imaging sensor was improved through the application of practical image-based sensor correction techniques. Three major components of sensor correction were focused upon: noise reduction, sensor-based modification of incoming radiance, and lens distortion. Sensor noise was reduced through the use of dark offset imagery. Sensor modifications through the effects of filter transmission rates, the relative monochromatic efficiency of the sensor and the effects of vignetting were removed through a combination of spatially/spectrally dependent correction factors. Lens distortion was reduced through the implementation of the Brown–Conrady model. Data post-processing serves dual roles in data quality improvement, and the identification of platform limitations and sensor idiosyncrasies. The proposed corrections improve the quality of the raw multispectral imagery, facilitating subsequent quantitative image analysis.

Danny Werfel of OMB and Cynthia Metzler of GSA testify before the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. (Oversight Committee photo)
Cynthia Metzler, chief administrative services officer at the General Services Administration, came before a congressional committee Feb. 27—the second time in six months—to talk about conference and travel spending at GSA. This time, she could share with lawmakers the improvements GSA has made since spending scandal that surfaced in April 2012.
"GSA has instituted rigorous new controls and oversight to ensure that all proposed travel and conference expenses are cost effective, serve legitimate mission needs, and have appropriate levels of review," according to her testimony to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's Subcommittee on the Federal Workforce, U.S. Postal Service, and the Census.
Dan Tangherlini, GSA's acting administrator since 2012, changed agency leaders and did a top-down review of GSA's operations.
Since then, Metzler said, GSA has reformed its travel policies to reflect Tangherlini's mission of rooting out wasteful spending. "GSA has put in place strict internal travel and conference policies to reduce costs, provide strong oversight, and ensure that travel only occurs when necessary," she said.
GSA has required the deputy administrator to give approval when the proposed cost of a conference is more than $100,000. If a conference is more than $500,000, the acting administrator must approve it and document the justification for it. GSA has also limited its use of blanket authorizations, and is looking at requests on a trip-by-trip basis.
The policies are similar to provisions in the Government Spending Accountability Act (H.R. 313), and reform bill introduced by Rep. Jo Ann Emerson (R-Mo.) on Jan. 18. H.R. 313 would also force agencies to institute spending limits and set up transparency requirements for conference and travel expenditures. Several similar bills were introduced in the House and Senate last Congress.
Metzler told the subcommittee that through fiscal 2012 alone, GSA's policies have helped save more than $28 million in travel and transportation costs.
Office of Management and Budget Controller Danny Werfel, who testified with Metzler, said OMB has required agencies to conduct thorough reviews of their conference spending and related costs.
In 2012, two months after GSA's inspector general released a report saying agency officials spent $822,000 on a Las Vegas conference, OMB released a memo ordering agencies to reduce conference spending in fiscal 2013 by 30 percent compared to fiscal 2010 expenditures.
He said the policies of oversight and reviews have led agencies to reduce travel expenses in fiscal 2012 by roughly $2 billion compared to fiscal 2010. Agencies have turned to webinars, teleconferences and video-conferences to conduct business they once may have traveled to do in person.
Yet, the subcommittee also heard from one House member who asked an important philosophical question.
Would the American people be better served if Congress worked without in-person interactions, even voting online?
"It could save hundreds of expensive trips each week to do that, but don't you think the country would be worse for it?" Rep. Rush Holt (D-N.J.) asked.
A scientist before being elected to Congress, Holt said the scientific community works much better when members are able to get together.
"Weakening collaboration is not wise," he told the subcommittee. At least for the scientific community, "these instances are not wasteful spending, but instead are examples of federal investments in innovation and economic development."

The agency software inventories required under the draft category management policy will be treasure maps that lead to efficient, effective, streamlined buying and unprecedented savings.
As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
As a former Fed, it always amazed me that while paperwork was required to obtain permission to travel, there was no requirement to report any results. It seems to me that is an example of why government is often so inefficient and ineffective. It is as if all that matters is how much can be spent. What is accomplished often seems immaterial. Hopefully, section 10 of the GPRA Modernization Act can help to make government spending more efficient and effective, by making results (or lack thereof) more salient. Incidentally, as per GPRAMA, it would be good if the agendas for major conferences were rendered as performance plans, in open, standard, machine-readable format.
Some of the fruit being borne is bitter and poisonous. The Federal workforce is being restricted in its ability to increase its knowledge and capabilities, and ultimately to incease productivity in serving its customers - the citizens of this country. While some common sense reform may have been necessary, the pecuniary savings resulting from gross overreaction sought by a narrow minded Congress will be far outweighed by losses due to foregone opportunities increase the effectiveness of the workforce, and the added cost of chasing pennies through unnecessary brueaucratic processes.
Proof that, yes the Government can cut spending. This amout of savings, from just this one action in one organization, saved enough money to pay off the proposed fuloughs of 3,000 people. Just think of the savings if this was Government wide and looked at all sorts of other wasteful spending. For one there would not be the need for furlough-creating cuts. Obviously, this administration could have started on something like this over a year ago to avoid sequestration. But politics is not about making sensible decisions and this administration is all about politics.
There is no question that more controls and visibility into travel and conference spending is good for the government and the taxpayer. However, no one is measuring the costs of the checker checking the checker checking the checker. No one has mapped out the processes and analyzed the resource investment associated with the processes -- so, no one should be fooled by the publicized cost avoidance numbers. They are not an accurate measure of the benefits achieved by GSA through the now-implemented, over-the-top, control mechanisms. The cycle time for approvals to be completed is extremely long, rivaling the manual processes that were in place in the govt in the 1970's. Most of the savings probably reflect the elimination of travel requests and conference participation by employees who simply do not want to deal with onerous processes. Rush Holt is right on! Without face to face engagement for critical pieces of work, outcomes decline in quality, solutions to problems become mediocre, and workers detach themselves from results because they know that, with a little more flexibility in process and decision authority, they could produce much better results. The incentive to engage and deliver excellence is lost in the shuffle of paperwork and an environment where pay is frozen, performance awards are sad, all major program or business areas are undergoing massive realignment, empowerment is absent, and the entire metro area GSA workforce is about to move into a dirty, old, half renovated building where there will be be less than one desk for every three people. What a fine scenario for collaboration, innovation and incentive to go the extra mile.

When Marshall Stone returns to his crash site decades later, he finds himself drawn back in time to the brave people who helped him escape from the Nazis. He especially recalls one intrepid girl guide who risked her life to help him—the girl in the blue beret.
At twenty-three, Marshall Stone was a U.S. flyboy stationed in England. Headstrong and cocksure, he had nine exhilarating bombing raids under his belt when enemy fighters forced his B-17 to crash-land in a Belgian field near the border of France. The memories of what happened next—the frantic moments right after the fiery crash, the guilt of leaving his wounded crewmates and fleeing into the woods to escape German troops, the terror of being alone in a foreign country—all come rushing back when Marshall sets foot on that Belgian field again.
Marshall was saved only by the kindness of ordinary citizens who, as part of the Resistance, moved downed Allied airmen through clandestine, often outrageous routes (over the Pyrenees to Spain) to get them back to their bases in England. Even though Marshall shared a close bond with several of the Resistance members who risked their lives for him, after the war he did not look back. But now he wants to find them again—to thank them and renew their ties. Most of all, Marshall wants to find the courageous woman who guided him through Paris. She was a mere teenager at the time, one link in the underground line to freedom.
Marshall's search becomes a wrenching odyssey of discovery that threatens to break his heart—and also sets him on a new course for the rest of his life. In his journey, he finds astonishing revelations about the people he knew during the war—none more electrifying and inspiring than the story of the girl in the blue beret.
Intimate and haunting, The Girl in the Blue Beret is a beautiful and affecting story of love and courage, war and redemption, and the startling promise of second chances.
Bobbie Ann Mason on The Girl in the Blue Beret
My father-in-law was a pilot. During World War II, he was shot down in a B-17 over Belgium. With the help of the French Resistance, he made his way through Occupied France and back to his base in England. Ordinary citizens hid him in their homes, fed him, disguised him, sheltered him from the Germans. Many families willingly hid Allied aviators, knowing the risks--they would have been shot or sent to a concentration camp if they were discovered by the Germans.
In 1987 the town in Belgium honored the crew by erecting a memorial at the crash site, where one of the ten crew members died. The surviving crew were invited for three days of festivities, including a flyover by the Belgian Air Force. Over three thousand Allied airmen were rescued during the war, and an extraordinary, deep bond between them and their European helpers endures even now.
My father-in-law, Barney Rawlings, spent a couple of months hiding out in France in 1944, frantically memorizing a few French words to pass himself off as a Frenchman, but his ordeal had not inspired in me any fiction until I started taking a French class. Suddenly, the language was transporting me back in time and across the ocean, as I tried to imagine a tall, out-of-place American struggling to say Bonjour. Barney had a vague memory of a girl who had escorted him in Paris in 1944. He remembered that her signal was something blue--a scarf, maybe, or a beret. The notion of a girl in a blue beret seized me, and I was off.
I had my title, but I didn't know what my story would be. I had to go to France to imagine the country in wartime. What would I have done in such circumstances of fear, deprivation, and uncertainty? What if my pilot character returns decades later to search for the people who had helped him escape?
Writing a novel about World War II and the French Resistance was a challenge, both sobering and thrilling. I read many riveting escape-and-evasion accounts of airmen and the Resistance networks organized to hide them and then send them on grueling treks across the Pyrenees to safety. But it was the people I met in France and Belgium who made the period come alive for me. They had lived it.
In Belgium, I was entertained lavishly by the people who had honored the B-17 crew with the memorial, including some locals who had witnessed the crash-landing. I was overwhelmed by their generosity. They welcomed me with an extravagant three-cheek kiss, but one 90-year-old man, Fernand Fontesse, who had been in the Resistance and had been a POW, planted his kiss squarely on my lips.
In a small town north of Paris I met Jean Hallade. He had been only fifteen when 2nd Lt. Rawlings was hidden in a nearby house. Jean took a picture of Barney in a French beret, a photo to be used for the fake ID card he would need as he traveled through France disguised as a French cabinetmaker over the next few months.
And in Paris I became friends with lovely, indomitable Michèle Agniel, who had been a girl guide in the Resistance. Her family aided fifty Allied aviators, including Barney Rawlings. She takes her scrapbooks from the war years to the schools to show children what once happened. "This happened here," she says. "Here is a ration card. This is a swastika." She pauses. "Never again," she says.
The characters in The Girl in the Blue Beret are not portraits of actual people, but the situations were inspired by very real individuals whom I regard as heroes.
""The new novel from best-selling author Bobbie Ann Mason will send you dashing to the shelves to devour everything else she's ever written — it's that good. … Mason weaves a spellbinding tale of war, love and survival. … The Girl in the Blue Beret is not only a remarkable work of historical fiction, it's also storytelling at its best." – Associated Press
"Ushering her readers back and forth across the decades, she perfectly weaves history with fiction. In many ways the book is a tribute to these unsung civilians whose heroism often was never acknowledged by those they helped. [A] near-perfect war story." – USA Today
"Mason has long been considered one of the finest writers of regional fiction — Kentucky is her home and inspiration — but her affecting new novel takes place in France, and she's just as comfortable and insightful there…once again, Mason has plumbed the moral dimensions of national conflict in the lives of individual participants and produced a deeply moving, relevant novel." –Washington Post
"Mason has given us a portrait of a man from a generation whose members were uncertain about the protocols of letting oneself feel. And she has lovingly captured the tone of bluff assertion still shared by veterans of that war. Marshall's banality has the ring of truth; his awkwardness reveals much….The Girl in the Blue Beret is a work of remarkable empathy." – New York Times Book Review
"To Curl Up with: A pilot shot down over France returns years later to search for the jeunne fille who rescued him. Mason's lovely tale, drawn from her [father-in-law's] wartime experience, will resonate for many." – Good Housekeeping
"The Girl in the Blue Beret is an impressive novel. Mason writes with confidence about integrity, memory, love, the war in Europe – and a likeable man. …Recommended for all historical fiction readers." – Historical Novels Review
"[An] impressive, impassioned new novel. The unforgettable story, based on the author's father-in-law's wartime experiences, is a gripping tale of redemption." –Miami Herald
"A flight through the gripping, war-ravaged past and the discovery of love—Bobbie Ann Mason's moving novel is written with great clarity and insight."—Kim Edwards, author of The Memory Keeper's Daughter and The Lake of Dreams
"An elegant and eventually lovely story of war, need and apprehension."—Roy Blount Jr., author of Alphabet Juice and Long Time Leaving
"Fascinating and intensely intimate….A touching novel about love, loss, war, and memory….profoundly revealing how the past haunts the present."—Publishers Weekly
"An emotionally powerful story of the ruinous effects of war."—Booklist
"[A] haunting novel... [with] rich setting, detail, and intimate character nuances….for fans of the award-winning author, World War II fiction, and novels with French settings. Highly recommended."—Library Journal
Praise for Bobbie Ann Mason
"Bobbie Ann Mason is one of those rare writers who, by concentrating their attention on a few square miles of native turf, are able to open up new and surprisingly wide worlds for the delighted reader."—The New York Review of Books, about Shiloh and Other Stories
"Brilliant and moving . . . a moral tale that entwines public history with private anguish."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, about In Country
"A dramatic triumph . . . Synopsis cannot begin to do justice to the complexity, drama, and ultimate benevolence of Mason's vision."—Chicago Tribune, about Feather Crowns
"Sitting down with one of these stories may well be the next best thing to going home again."—The Wall Street Journal, about Zigzagging Down a Wild Trail

Innovation's Top 50: Who's Who on the Cutting Edge
Yesterday, the Boston Consulting Group announced their list of today's Top 50 Most Innovative Companies, and the report unearthed some surprising facts about innovation.
"49 out of 50 of 2013's Most Innovative Companies leverage the power of Mindjet."
Though it's not entirely unexpected that tech giants like Apple and Google stayed cozy in the top 5 (numbers 1 and 3, respectively), what did surface were some vital commonalities in process and practice across organizations, as well as an unanticipated number of traditional manufacturers appearing among the chosen. For 2013, BCG also asked companies to provide insight into their ability to innovate successfully, finding that only about 20 percent categorized their innovation practices as strong. Additionally, the new Up-and-Coming category found that most of the innovation happening in younger companies centered around evolving technologies, like social media and mobile.
A Repeatable Process
From their research, BCG was able to pinpoint these 5 factors that give innovation leaders the advantage:
- Senior-management commitment
- The ability to leverage intellectual property
- Customer focus
- Innovation portfolio management
- Well-defined and governed processes
The final bullet rings particularly true for us here at Mindjet, as we move forward to bring repeatable business innovation to organizations through the Vision to Action Lifecycle™, a process that's designed for teams to come up with great ideas and then turn those ideas into completed projects again and again. With repeatable innovation management processes in place, companies don't have to rely on happenstance for success.
What's Old is New in Innovation
Although the concept of innovation is often closely tied to start-up culture and the rise of never-before-seen approaches and solutions, the fact remains that over half of the companies on this year's list are at least 50 years old, and a handful actually have histories reaching back into the 19th century. And there's a good reason for it.
"Companies that continually create value over the long term — meaning decades or more — learn how to ingrain the ability into their corporate makeup; it becomes part of their culture and DNA," said Andrew Taylor, BCG partner and a coauthor of the report. "They create value, jobs, and growth because of their ability to institutionalize innovation."
We couldn't agree more — which is a good thing, considering that all of the top 20, and 49 out of the 50 most innovative companies on this year's list leverage the power of Mindjet. Download the full report here, or take a look at our latest infographic, Business Innovation Done Right.

Kaleidos really is a wonderful game. The pictures are really Great Art. At first sight the game look very easy but it is not. The complexity of the pictures do the game very intricate. The pictures have thousands of different things in a fantastic mix.

Manchester City 3-0 Sunderland
Roberto Mancini: "It was a very good performance. We played very well and took no risks. To score three goals I am happy for us today. It was not easy, Sunderland are a good team and it was a very difficult game. All players who played today played very well."
Martin O'Neill: "We were well beaten by a superior team. I have very little complaint. My complaint obviously is with us. When we had possession of the ball we gave it away too easily and when we came in at half-time we could have been in trouble, but we were still in with a chance. They deserved to win. They were much, much better than us."
Wigan 2-2 Everton
Roberto Martinez: "These calls are difficult for referees and from where I was it looked like he came across with his arm. If the referee was not certain then I think a yellow card was the right call because you can't gamble on a red card. My only disappointment is that the first goal is too soft. We need to learn to defend better in terms of concentration and intensity. But I'm pleased with the performance."
David Moyes: "Their first goal was definitely half a yard offside and the linesman was nowhere in line with the ball. And (Nikica) Jelavic is definitely a penalty so I think we've had a really rough day and what we got today we earned. We thoroughly deserved the point, no doubt about that. We played really well in the second half and kept having a go at them, and Kevin Mirallas had a great chance. They did what I asked in the second half to make sure we got something out of the game."
Chelsea 4-1 Norwich
Roberto Di Matteo: "I think the results are telling us that we are able to blank things out surrounding us externally and that we could focus on what is our aim and target and job, to win football games. It's proven how professional the group is and how well they respond to it."
Chris Hughton: "I was probably more annoyed and disappointed at half-time than I was at the end of the game. When you come here, particularly with the quality that they have got - you know it's going to be a tough ask. But, when you score so early, you need to stay in the game longer. At the moment, as a team, we're not defending well enough."
Swansea City 2-2 Reading
Michael Laudrup: "Who knows what would have happened if we got the penalty we should have? It should have been a penalty - obviously, it is football so you can't use your hands if you are not the goalkeeper. But the referee didn't give it and that is what can happen. It is a little difficult to say if it was a point gained or two lost - you can say both or neither."
Brian McDermott: "Our goalkeeper has pulled off some fantastic saves, Swansea played really well and that is a point gained for us. I couldn't tell you how many, but I do know he (Alex McCarthy) has made some fantastic saves. We need to affect the game better than we did in the second half. But having said that, that is a good point gained here."
West Brom 3-2 QPR
Steve Clarke: "I've got to be honest, I'm not over-surprised. I'm delighted and obviously 14 points is a great return from the first seven games. But I'm not surprised. I knew we would be competitive. We don't get carried away with ourselves because we know what our primary objective is to ensure another season in the Premier League. That's got to be the bottom line."
Mark Hughes: "Am I still the right man? Oh yes, absolutely. We knew where we might possibly be at the beginning of the season because of the amount of changes we've made. We are disappointed because in a number of games we've played well and not got what we've deserved out of games. We've got to give ourselves the chance to win games. It is disappointing."
West Ham v Arsenal
Sam Allardyce: "We are disappointed with the result and disappointed with those injuries we have picked up but I'm not disappointed with the lads' application and performance. We tried our best, it wasn't quite good enough, but we are pleased with our performance and perhaps a little disappointed that we didn't get a draw."
Arsene Wenger: "I don't listen to that (abusive chants from the West Ham fans) - I don't want to talk about that. Stupidity is left to people, it's not my problem. It only punishes those who talk stupid. (On Olivier Giroud) he is slowly getting there. You're confident now when he gets in front of goal that he will score. Of course he scored an important one today at a moment where the game was a bit 50-50."

I'm trying to upgrade my blog http://www.studiesuccesho.nl from 3.0.4 to 3.2.1.
First my provider upgraded to php-version 5.3.2 and after that i choosed the automatic upgrade from the dashboard. The status messages during the proces were all OK and ended up with "upgrade succesfully". But the dashboard shows: You are using WordPress 3.0.4! (instead of 3.2.1) The blogs seems to work fine.
So, i repeated the procedure on another blog (wordpress.iclon.nl/projecten-ho) on the same server but this was an upgrade from version 3.1 to 3.2.1. Same problem afterward: You are using WordPress 3.1
So i decided to upgrade de last site again, but now manually. This time i de-activated all plugins en followed exactly the manual procudure as mentioned on Codex page at Updating_wordpress. No result! Still saying: You are using WordPress 3.1
Please, who can help me?!

Me and 3 others are supposed to be doing a presentation on this for AS Business Studies. Problem is - I've never even heard of it! And it doesn't even mention it in our textbook. I was hoping someone who'd already done AS (preferably OCR) Business could give me a definition and explain it a little. Thanks in advance!
Multi-Stage Sampling

Whoa! It's probably too late, but multistage sampling is when the population is too large so you need cluster samples or multiple stages of sampling.
IE) If you want to get the average IQ of population=America.
Thus you'd break this down into many different stages. First by states, then by counties, then SRS for districts, then SRS for towns, etc.

I filled out a job application and was invited in to interview at midwest savers, they asked me to sigh some documents and that I would be contacted by Michael the supervisor for training when he comes back to work after his birthday weekend. Not only did I not get the Job but they garnished my wages a few years latter to the tune of $2000. Money I can never dispute or get back because by law it's not what they promiced to get you to sign the documents but the fact that your signed them that holds up in court. This is why they are not in business today. God don't like ugly.

Whilst most of us were unwrapping our Easter Eggs, the SWEP team were on a mission to save
a pony who had got herself well and truly stuck in bog… it turned into a life or death situation! The team received a call from a couple of members of the public who were walking on the moor and came across the very distressed pony, who it became clear, had been stuck in the bog for at least 6 hours. This lovely couple stayed with the pony until help arrived and then proceeded to help with the rescue, often ending up knee deep in freezing cold marsh bog.
It truly was an amazing team effort, combining the skills of the SWEP team, helpful members of
the public and a farmer, who arrived on his quad bike with ropes which were the tools they
needed to be able to pull her out…the farmer also visited the pony afterwards to make sure that she was ok.
To quote our Yard Manager…
"All I can say it has really restored my faith in humanity after so much negativity lately and a huge thank you to the gentleman and his wife for not giving up on her and a huge thank you to the
people I work with for giving it everything they could to get her out also getting freezing cold
without so much as a moan, just pure focus on getting her out.. Bunch of good eggs

It is understood Nine has been holding discreet talks with Ginger Spice, whose real name is Geri Halliwell, as a contingency in case the court battle with Seven did not fall in their favour.
Nine had hoped to sign Brown, who was known as Scary Spice when she and Halliwell were in the 1990s girl band The Spice Girls, as a judge for its reboot of Australia's Got Talent.
She would have joined judges Dawn French, Timomatic (real name: Tim Omaji) and Kyle Sandilands, and host Julia Morris on the show.
The fourth judges seat is now, effectively, empty.
Although a number of names are swirling around the rumour mill - including veteran talent show judge Sharon Osbourne and American singer Chris Isaak - Halliwell's is the one which seems to be rumoured the loudest.
It is customary for a TV network to negotiate with a range of contenders when securing talent for a show like Australia's Got Talent.
Osbourne and Isaak were both mentioned earlier in the year as contenders.
Osbourne is a talent show veteran, having served as a judge on both The X Factor in the UK and America's Got Talent.
Nine is rebooting the series after Seven let its rights to the format lapse.
Sources say Seven was sceptical of its potential second life, but the signing of British comedian Dawn French was seen as a game-changing moment.
Brown, meanwhile, has been working on America's Got Talent. Her plans in the longer term, and whether she will appear on Seven, are not yet clear.
