Posted Feb 13 2012 2:45PM
There are plenty of reasons to feel bad for George Karl these days -- at least seven of them having to do with the number of losses by his team in its last nine games.
Spin the hands of the clock back barely a few weeks and the Nuggets were running through a five-game, coast-to-coast road trip like a virus on a Caribbean cruise ship.
Back then Denver was attacking the basket, attacking the glass and pushing the pace constantly. Back then Karl's most challenging task was to gather the troops for locker room talks that implored them to match their opponents' energy and take nothing for granted.
"The schedule says you're tired and you have all these NBA excuses," Karl said in the halftime break at Madison Square Garden in New York with his team down by eight. "But you have enough gas in the tank to go win this basketball game."
So the Nuggets did. That was something they did regularly back then, which is how Denver stood with a 14-5 record and the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference on the morning after thumping the Raptors barely three weeks ago.
Now the Nuggets are 16-12. Their world couldn't have been turned upside down faster if they'd have gone over a waterfall in a barrel. That's just a fact of life in this compressed 66-games-in-123-days, blink-and-you'll-miss-it, no-time-to-take a breath schedule. In almost less time than it takes to open a newspaper and locate the standings, a team can lose a couple of games and tumble in the playoff race.
And the Nuggets -- whose ups and downs are being documented this season in a behind-the-scenes documentary on NBA TV titled The Association: Denver Nuggets (the second episode debuts Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. ET) -- have lost more than a couple.
You could pity Karl for the injuries that have beset the Nuggets. Danilo Gallinari was lost for a month with a sprained ankle. Timofey Mozgov sprained his ankle and went out. Aaron Afflalo has had foot and leg injuries that have slowed his conditioning from the start of the season. Nene and Ty Lawson have had nagging foot problems.
Yet pity is not something Karl --a guy has spent nearly three decades as a head coach in the NBA and won more than 1,000 games -- wants any part of. It's certainly not the direction Karl will take. Not after last season.
Remember a year ago, when Karl often looked so haggard and thoroughly worn out as he made his way back to the Nuggets bench after battling throat and neck cancer, which had forced him to miss the end of the 2010 season. The twinkle was trying to return to his eyes, but there were plenty of times when his body was still weak.
Remember a year ago, when Karl was also practically tied into knots by the situation with his best player. Carmelo Anthony. While everyone involved tried so desperately to look away and ignore the obvious, the so-called 'Melo-Drama became a constant burden on the entire Nuggets organization and Karl in particular. How much more uncomfortable and difficult can it get than when the most-talented player in your locker room is virtually holding everyone else hostage?
So what's a little five-game losing streak compared to all of that?
Karl, a coach who grinds on after thousands of games and hundreds of losses, does what he always does. He has learned to overcome and to keep looking ahead. The summer after his powerful Seattle SuperSonics became the first No. 1 seed to lose to a No. 8 seed in the 1994 playoffs, Karl would open his various speaking engagements before crushed and disappointed fans by playing a track from what was then the Eagles' latest album: "Get Over It."
To be sure, the Nuggets have problems. The defense that was full of energy and aggressiveness for the first month of the season has lost its bite. The Nuggets were torched by the ball-movement execution of Houston, maybe put the finishing touches on Dirk Nowitzki's unlikely drive to another All-Star berth when they allowed the Dallas star to explode for 25 points. And the Nuggets surrendered everything but their wallets in losing to Golden State at home before finally ending their skid Saturday night at Indiana.
Karl is staring at just as many problems at the other end of the floor with an offense that has stopped pushing the pace. Since his return from his foot problems, Lawson has settled for jump shots rather than running the pick-and-roll or attacking the basket. Gallinari's shooting touch was way off before he was hurt, but at least he had been filling lanes on the fast break, getting into the paint, making hustle plays that made a difference. Nene, as usual, has been up and down. "The Birdman" Chris Andersen has flown the coop virtually all season. Afflalo has been slow to show his form after signing his free-agent contact. Rudy Fernandez has struggled to find the basket with his 3-point shooting. The depth that was supposed to be the strength of the Nuggets has suddenly turned into a hole.
What's more, the Nuggets are a team without a clearly-defined closer, a No. 1 option late in games.
"I'm not as fearful of that as people are making it out to be," Karl told Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post. "You win games with other things as much as you do with going to a closer.
So all in all, while there are reasons to feel bad about George Karl's fix right now, we can at least say this: None of them is as bad as last season.

World Heritage in the Americas: Confluence of Cultures
The year 2012 will be the 40th anniversary of UNESCO's World Heritage Convention, and we wish to celebrate this event with ICOMOS colleagues from all the Americas, with the intent to launch a permanent process of regional cooperation that will ensure greater participation and contributions to the spirit and the aims of the Convention.
The Symposium will be an opportunity to celebrate the cultural heritage of Texas. In particular, attention will be brought to the five San Antonio Missions, including The Alamo. Collectively, the San Antonio Missions have "outstanding universal value" as defined by the guidelines for the World Heritage Sites. A World Heritage nomination has been written for the Missions, now on the US "tentative list" for consideration.

Model Code of Practice for the Welfare of Animals: Pigs
Third Edition
Primary Industries Report Series 92
This new edition of the Code is intended as a guide for all people responsible for the welfare of pigs under both intensive, deep litter and outdoor systems. Good welfare of farmed pigs will ensure that pigs cope well in their environment and that factors such as growth, reproductive performance, disease levels, injuries and death rates are within industry standards.
The Code recognises that the basic requirement for the welfare of pigs is a husbandry system, managed by trained and skilled stock-people to ensure that basic needs of pigs are met:
This Model Code of Practice for the Welfare of Animals has been prepared by the Animal Welfare Working Group (AWWG) for the Primary Industries Ministerial Council (PIMC). The AWWG is made up of representatives from CSIRO, Animal Health Australia, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry - Australia, and from each of the State Departments responsible for agriculture. Extensive consultation has taken place with industry and animal welfare organisations in the development of the Code.
This new edition supercedes the Second Edition, SCARM Report 66.

Drive to survive: Teenagers train with MSP troopers
24 Hour News 8 hit the training track with Michigan State Police to find out how they're teaching teens to drive to survive.
Sponsored by:
24 Hour News 8 hit the training track with Michigan State Police to find out how they're teaching teens to drive to survive.
A former missionary doctor who allegedly molested 23 girls and women in Bangladesh in the 1970s and 1980s is now facing new allegations.
Target 8 investigators analyzed the Michigan State Police traffic crash database for pursuit crashes and found big numbers.
Portage Public Safety Director Richard White says his department is no longer chasing motorists for minor offenses, like traffic violations.
A mailman is off the job and under federal investigation after a customer traced a missing gift card back to him.
An online safety advocate in West Michigan is urging parents to monitor their kids' usage of a relatively new app.
Unfortunately many parents are often forced to choose price over quality when it comes to day care.
Between 2010 and 2015, Michigan in-home day care providers were cited for violating safe sleep rules in the deaths of 10 babies.
In many cases, in-home day care providers who had had their licenses yanked were allowed to apply for another after two years.
Who's on the hook if a repair shop loses your stuff?
If you're going to put money down to hold a used car, get it in writing that it's refundable if there's a chance you may change your mind.
The decision that cost a man his kids was based on state-paid psychologist's testimony and CPS investigation that deviated from protocol.
A doctor and former lawmaker could spend time in federal prison for billing Blue Cross Blue Shield for medication he knew it didn't cover.
A couple contacted Target 8 after a contractor promised to do the work, took their money and then never showed up.
When you need work done on your home, hiring the wrong person for the job can cost you big. One West Michigan woman learned that firsthand.
Buying a car can be intimidating, and the debacle doesn't always end when you roll off the lot.

We truly want to push the boundaries of what is possible in software development.
Software development should not be a gibberish collection of symbols, it should be pure intuitive logic.
Coders have always been able to create outstanding software. But that is not enough.
As our lives become more and more digital, everyone must have the choice to create their own software if they need it. It does boil down to a matter of democracy and equality.
This has been the very foundation of our goal and our vision from the start, and when this truly becomes a reality, amazing things will start to happen.
We promise to push through to make this happen, and we seriously just don't stop, ever.
BecomeAThing is the extreme version of Blockie's vision and an intriguing experiment which effects could change everything.

Our friend, the incredibly talented Peter Aylward, attended the 2016 Silverstone Classic on StanceWorks' behalf. As a motorsports photographer, there are few better places to be than trackside, and with such an exciting field of cars, it might be said that there are few better races, period.
Power & Poise – Antoine Spignardo's 2009 BMW 135i CoupeMike Burroughs
I could hear it from a mile off; a raspy but throaty howl bounced between the buildings towards me as I waited for Antoine and his 135i to arrive. The sun was beginning to dip behind the treetops that surrounded the back lot I had chosen to shoot in, and most of the surrounding buildings and foliage were glowing a rather-desirable bright, burning orange. Antoine's coupe grew louder, and moments later, he pulled into the lot, ready for the shoot.
The Colors of the Silverstone Classic – from Peter AylwardMike Burroughs
From the 24th to the 26th of July, the Silverstone Circuit played host to one of the year's best events in vintage motorsports. It's known as the "the world's biggest classic motor racing festival," and for good reason: the Silverstone Classic was one of the world's first events to cater specifically to racing cars of decades passed. With 25 years under its belt, it has grown to earn and keep its title against an emerging field of events around the globe.
Last Friday marked the one year anniversary of Keith's acquisition of his 1966 Volvo Amazon 122. It's been only a year since he drove down to his friend, Jeremey's, house to take a leap back into the car world after a brief hiatus. Jeremy, an avid Volvo fan himself, is the one guilty of spreading the Volvo bug to Keith. He always had a collection of Volvos around, ranging from built 240s to classic Amazons.

With each new article comes a new story, often entirely unique. From the car to the owner, each presents a story that tells of what is often a lifelong love for automobiles – I find myself prodding each owner with questions, inquiring about the idiosyncrasies that define each car's uniqueness and history. My favorite question of all, however, is about the owner.

On pahster's Sun Deck thread about the correlates of run-scoring: 1998 - 2006, he noted how GPA (Gross Production Average) correlates more strongly with runs scored than does any other of his stat columns.
According to pahster, the formula for GPA "is (1.8*OBP)+SLG/4. It is a more 'precise' form of OPS in that it weights OBP by an additional 80%. This is because previous studies have indicated that it is that much more valuable than is slugging."
Here is pahster's pertinent row showing that AVG correlates least of all the stats and GPA correlates the most with runs scored.
R AVG OBP SLG OPS ModOPS GPA
My question for pahster -- I'm not permitted to post on Sun Deck -- would be the following: Why doesn't GPA (.954) correlate with runs at a disproportionately higher rate compared to plain old OPS (.946)?
Why are GPA (where OBP has been weighted almost 2X SLG, coupled with SLG's being reduced again by being divided by 4) and OPS so similar to each other in their correlation to runs?
Isn't OPS virtually equal to GPA as a correlate to runs scored?

By Sgt. A.M. LaVey/16th Military Police BrigadeMarch 15, 2013
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - Fort Bragg's Throckmorton Library celebrated the 100th birthday of its namesake in a ceremony Feb. 28.
Gen. John L. Throckmorton, a veteran of World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Detroit riots, commanded both the 82nd Airborne Division and the XVIII Airborne Corps during his time at Fort Bragg. He later retired in Fayetteville after 38 years of service.
"The celebration of General Throckmorton's 100th birthday was a great event because it reminded all of us about the sacrifices faced by General Throckmorton and his Family," said Ray Lacey, director, Fort Bragg Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation.
The low-key ceremony, attended by two of Throckmorton's sons and their wives, Fort Bragg leadership and library patron featured some of the general's uniforms, memorabilia, photographs, as well as the traditional birthday cake.
The Throckmorton Library was built in 1997, 11 years after Throckmorton's death. It replaced the earlier post library on Macomb Street, near where the 82nd Sustainment Brigade's post office now stands.
Since 1997, the library has evolved into a modern learning facility, featuring more than 100,000 volumes and offers many programs like an adult book club, teen events, youth story time and also features 75 common access card-enabled computers.
Public libraries, and the Throckmorton is a public library on post for the military community, were just beginning to increase their technological capabilities for their customers in 1997, said Julie C. Goyette, chief librarian, Throckmorton Library.
The post library isn't just a place where patrons can come and check out a book, there are also computers, classes and community events.
"It's a place to convene, it's a physical place to be, so we've made some changes the last few years," said Goyette. "We want people to come here and sit in comfortable chairs and chat, look at magazines, read newspapers -- we want this to be a place where people want to be."
One of the projects that the library is working on is keeping up-to-date with professional military reading lists and making more books available to patrons.
"If you come in and can't find a book on your list, I want to know that," said Goyette. "We're all about customer suggestions."
The library also has the ability to use the national interlibrary loan system to procure a book that they don't currently have on their shelves.
Besides serving its uniformed population and younger generations, there are two groups library leadership would like to target more -- teens and adults.
"I would like to see more teens involved," said Goyette. "It's a tough group to reach out to. It's almost as if you have to lure them in and hope that they come to you. I'd like to see more teens involved in the library. I would also like to see more adults taking part in the book clubs."
English author Neil Gaiman once said: "Google can bring you back 100,000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one."
Homework assistance is one of the many under-used services provided by the professional librarians at Throckmorton.
"We help with homework … we offer whatever assistance we can to the Soldier," said Goyette. If Soldiers are pressed for time they can call the library and tell them that they are working a paper on 'x' and that they need sources. The librarian can look for articles and email them if the Soldier is doing research. The Soldier can also use the library's database page on the website, which is very helpful. Those are the kinds of things that people say 'wow I didn't even know you did this and it's a huge help.'"
Even with the off-post county libraries and such places, for the Fort Bragg population, the Gen. John L. Throckmorton Library can be a necessary resource.

NCoC and the Corporation for National and Community Service Produce First Civic Health Assessment
September 16, 2010
The National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC), founded in 1946 and chartered by Congress in 1953, is charged with the mission of advancing our nation's civic life. In accordance with this mission, NCoC has produced America's Civic Health Index for the last four years to measure the level of civic engagement and health of our nation's democracy. As a result of the passage of the bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, this work is expanding through an annual Civic Health Assessment. The Civic Health Assessment measures America's civic habits across a wide range of indicators in an effort to strengthen citizen participation in their communities, states, and nation.
Here, NCoC presents its executive summary of the leading findings from the 2010 Civic Health Assessment, based on research conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2008 and 2009. This document supplements an issue brief jointly released with the Corporation for National and Community Service. The joint brief is titled ''Civic Life in America: Key Findings on the Civic Health of the Nation.''
Key Findings include:
The NCoC Executive Summary, as well as the jointly-produced Issue Brief are available for download at http://NCoC.net/CivicHealth2010. For more on the data, and rankings of 50 states and 51 largest communities, visit Civic.Serve.gov
In order to localize this data, NCoC is working in partnership with 13 states and 4 cities to produce localized Civic Health Index reports. These publications will be released throughout the fall 2010.

- A nicely wirtten article indeed. K and Mav are great, and your willingness to take a stand on BSL is appreciated.I do however, have to agree with Sorcha on the fact that pitbull is not a breed. Pitbull is a term that is used to loosely describe dogs of similar, vague physical characteristics. The breeds most commonly lumped into the pitbull group include: American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier. They are three different breeds all together. The pitbull classification can also often include: American Bullies, Bull Terriers, American Bulldogs, Dogo Argentinos, Cane Corsos, Presa Canarios, Boxers; as well as, other mastiff and bulldog breeds and their mixes.The dogs that you have pictured in you article are gorgeous dogs and definitely fall into the pitbull category. However, they are not actual American Pit Bull Terriers. They are American Staffordshire Terriers and American Bullies, both of which were created using the American Pit Bull Terrier. American Pit Bull Terriers are breed for athletism, power, speed, stamina, drive, functional conformation, intelligence, loyalty, and to be the true all around working package. The American Staffordshire Terrier is breed for looks, conformation, and color. The American Bully is breed mostly as a pet, for those looking for an extra large hunk of pitbull love.If you are interested, you can view the actual American Pit Bull Terrier on the American Dog Breeder Association's website (www.adba.cc). The standard differs considerably from the UKC standard for the American Bully styled APBT (www.ukcdogs.com) and the AKC AST.August 25, 2010 11:03 pm

text: Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. Depreciation is included in the estimate of cash flows (Cash flow = Net income + Depreciation), hence depreciation is set forth on a separate line in the cash budget. b. If cash inflows from collections occur in equal daily amounts but most payments must be made on the 10th of each month, then a regular monthly cash budget will be misleading. The problem can be corrected by using a daily cash budget. c. Sound working capital policy is designed to maximize the time between cash expenditures on materials and the collection of cash on sales. d. If a firm wants to generate more cash flow from operations in the next month or two, it could change its credit policy from 2/10, net 30 to net 60. e. If a firm sells on terms of net 90, and if its sales are highly seasonal, with 80% of its sales in September, then its DSO as it is typically calculated (with sales per day = Sales for past 12 months/365) would probably be lower in October than in August.

GOSHEN — A civil trial for two doctors began Wednesday in Orange County Supreme Court on allegations of medical fraud and breach of contract.
Newburgh resident Robert Clydesdale is suing Dr. Steven Bock and Dr. Kenneth Bock, brothers who run integrative medical practices in Rhinebeck and elsewhere.
Clydesdale was a long-term patient who had been treated by them for a variety of diagnoses including chronic Lyme disease. Clydesdale had also entered into a business arrangement with the doctors and others in a venture called Patients America, which sought to get insurance companies that had rejected medical claims for patients to pay for the treatments. Part of Clydesdale's agreement was to defray the costs of his own treatment, primarily by Steven Bock.
The doctors are also authors and have been featured on Dr. Oz, Today and other shows to talk up their alternative methods for treating various ills – Lyme, asthma, autism, etc., some of which are methods not recommended by current medical science.
The trial continues Thursday before Justice Paul Marx.

Some agencies have sold off their shotguns or traded them away in favor of the rifle. Rifles are great, but so are shotguns, and you should have both.
To help officers gain more advanced firearms skills Speller and the team at Fenix Training developed the Law Enforcement D.R.A.W. School Firearms Training program.
Students who have attended the D.R.A.W. School say the results can be impressive. "When we went to the range for live-fire training after the first D.R.A.W. School class, the results were instantly apparent. Not only were officers quicker out of the holster, their first shot was right on target, and their follow-up shots were faster and much more accurate," says Lt. Jason Graham, training coordinator with the Wake Forest (NC) Police Department.

Hi guys, great plugin!
I've set a feature image to each post already, but when I enable thumbnails it only displays the alt text - on further inspection, the image source is left blank. Is this something I'm not setting correctly in the post itself?
I plan to do more hunting later, and will post progress if any is made.

Researchers at Yale University School of Public Health have discovered a link between longevity and reading books. People who spend up to 3.5 hours each week engrossed in a book were 17 percent less likely to die in the 12 years following the study, and those who read more than 3.5 hours are 23 percent less likely to die in the same period. The longevity advantage remained even after adjusting the data for education, wealth, cognitive ability, and other variables, although no cause-and-effect relationship was established (Tech Times, August 8).

Of course there is, a lot of future. Nokia is not the only one that is behind MeeGo, so it doesn't depend only on one company. And even Nokia didn't say they will completely stop working on MeeGo. MeeGo is also clearly more advanced tecnhically than WP7 and even more importatntly it is completely free (as in freedom and also no-cost) and open source. And I also like that official development tools for MeeGo are based on C++ and Qt which is an awesome development platform, much nicer than anything else I have worked with so far, well except maybe PyQt :)
it don't means the end of meego. there're too many choice for meego not only on handhelds but also on tablet,windows and other os.
Meego's develope kit is more advanced than WP. I believe nokia+MS will not be a long-term ally
This report seems to indicate that Nokia has "abandoned" Meego. Also with Stephen Elop (former exec from Microsoft) as CEO of Nokia, he wants to bring in focus on a single operating system so that Nokia can "regain some of the lost marketshare".
It appears unlikely that Nokia will step back from Stephen's decision. That said, now Meego has a "home" with Intel. Which may end up being a good thing.
please make this clearer :

Judon among NEMCC signees
Northeast Mississippi Community College softball coach Jody Long has announced the signing of eight athletes for the 2012-13 Lady Tiger softball team.
Long was able to get all eight athletes to attend a signing ceremony that took place in the Black and Gold Room in the Haney Union on the Northeast Booneville campus on Wednesday, January 18.
"It is a great class," Long said. "We lose 12 sophomores off our 2012 squad, so we are very excited about signing eight today."
Long was able to score a majority of his signing class from within Northeast's five-county district with six players signing from Alcorn, Prentiss, Tishomingo, Tippah and Union counties.
Emily Horn and Gracie Michael decided to stay close to home by agreeing to become Lady Tigers for the 2012-13 season. Horn was a catcher for the Booneville Lady Blue Devils while Michael was a catcher for the Wheeler Lady Eagles.
Also joining Horn and Michael were Myrtle utility player Kiana Judon and Walnut's Becky Robinson.
Long got a pair of same-name athletes with Kossuth's Dana Glissen and Tishomingo County's Dannah Glover to agree to become Lady Tigers as well.
In addition to Long signing six in-district athletes, the veteran Lady Tiger mentor was able to sign Haleigh Moffett out of West Lauderdale and Trenisha King from Colbert Heights, Ala.
Long and the Lady Tigers will kick off the 2012 softball season on the road at Calhoun (Ala.) Community College before heading to Meridian for the Rush Invitational on February 17-18. Northeast's first home games will come during the tenth-annual Northeast TigerFest Tournament on February 24-25.
Judon appeared in all 18 games for Marty Cook's Lady Hawks during her junior season in 2010-11 and batted .508 with a .537 on base percentage.
Judon was a threat at the plate for the Lady Hawks finishing the season with a .905 slugging percentage while scoring 21 runs and driving in 24.
During her junior season, Judon collected six doubles, five triples and three homeruns for Myrtle and was a perfect 15-for-15 on the base paths.
Judon committed four errors during last season while getting multiple chances as a utility player for the Lady Hawks.

I got this stuff in a sample kit, & I actually do like it, I just couldn't see getting it again. The packaging is okay, but could be more user friendly. My husband really loves lemon, so he likes if I wear it, but I'll only wear it to bed because it's pretty slick. I wear it under cotton gloves at night, which is pretty effective, it just seems superfluous when a thick cream could suffice for hands & feet. Maybe I'd be more into it if I was more into my nails!

Skill Level Beginner
Creating a poll, setting options, and saving the poll file is only part one. The next part is to show the poll to the audience during the session and get them to respond. Just displaying the poll and waiting for the timer to run down might not be enough. I recommend that you start by including a poll slide or other indicator to remind you and your participants that a poll is about to be shown. At that point, you might say, "Stand by for a poll question," or "Please respond to the poll that you're about to see on your screen." You'll need to expand the Polling Panel, select the correct Poll Tab, and then click Open to display the poll question to the participants.
Once you have the poll open, participants are able to see it and to start voting. At this time, you can say, "As you can see, there is a poll displayed on your screen. Please click the Option button to the left of your response or responses and be sure to click on the Submit button." You don't need to read the poll aloud, but you can if you choose to emphasize or clarify any points. You might also tell participants how the data will be used or not used.
You might say polling responses are anonymous, or maybe they aren't, or your responses will be scored, or your score will count towards your grade. Warn participants as the time runs down that they finish quickly and submit. You can close the poll before the timer ends if you choose, but you cannot extend the time. Once the timer has run down or the poll is closed, presenters can opt to show the results to participants.
Okay, I am going to go ahead and show some now. So here comes Poll Question 1. So I am clicking on the Open Poll button. This is how it looks on the participants' screen. And then say to the participants, "Please vote using the polling options that you see for Question 1, and please fill-in your formula for Question 2. So you will need to type in that little textbox and then click Submit." As the time takes down, I will say to the participants, "Please finish up and click Submit." And at this point, as you can see on the Presenter screen, I now have options to display Poll Results or Individual Results by just clicking on the checkboxes here.
When I click Apply, the data is then displayed to the individuals. There are some situations that it is appropriate to show individual poll responses. In this case, you'll want to click on that option and display the results. Notice that what's actually happening behind the scenes is your application sharing a tab in your browser that has this data collected and is available to display to your audience. I'll click on STOP SHARING to return back to the WebEx interface, where we can again see the slides on the left side.
I'd like to show another poll question at this time, so I am clicking on the tab at the top of the Polling Panel. So another type of poll question that you might choose to display would be one that has more than one right answer. So in the case of this poll question related to the order of operations, there are two questions that are correct. When I show the poll or open the poll for the participants, they will be able to select more than one answer. I am going to click on the Open Poll button now and then my participants have the opportunity to respond.
So I would say to them, please go ahead and choose any of the correct answers that you see. There might be more than one. Notice that instead of circular option buttons, we are seeing little squares that will accept checkboxes, so the participants can click on those buttons. And of course, remind them to click on the Submit button as well. So as they're responding to the polls on the Presenter screen, we can see a red bar chart building to show who has responded and how many people have yet to respond.
So as a presenter, I might want to say, "If you haven't responded yet, please go ahead and click on your answer and be sure to click Submit." As the timer ticks down, I might just encourage them to finish up quickly, but I can always close the poll before the timer completes if I notice that everyone is 100% complete. So I do want to show the poll results and the correct answers. So I will click on each of those checkboxes, and then click Apply.
Not much changes on the presenter screen, but on the participants' screen, the participants can now see the interface the way I was seeing in a minute ago with a bar chart to the right and the correct answer is indicated with green checkmarks to the left. So by doing this, participants can evaluate whether or not they answered the question correctly. When we are finished with the poll, remember the Poll Panel will continue to display until the participants collapse that panel and expand another panel.
So you might need to remind them to collapse the polling when you're finished using it and revert back to showing chat and participants instead of the polling panel. So as you can see, there's multiple ways to use polls, there is different types of questions that you can ask, and there's different ways that the participants can respond. There are even different ways to show the results or the data to the participants when you're finished.

AbstractSpuma- or foamy viruses (FV), endemic in most non-human primates, cats, cattle and horses, comprise a special type of retrovirus that has developed a replication strategy combining features of both retroviruses and hepadnaviruses. Unique features of FVs include an apparent apathogenicity in natural hosts as well as zoonotically infected humans, a reverse transcription of the packaged viral RNA genome late during viral replication resulting in an infectious DNA genome in released FV particles and a special particle release strategy depending capsid and glycoprotein coexpression and specific interaction between both components. In addition, particular features with respect to the integration profile into the host genomic DNA discriminate FV from orthoretroviruses. It appears that some inherent properties of FV vectors set them favorably apart from orthoretroviral vectors and ask for additional basic research on the viruses as well as on the application in Gene Therapy. This review will summarize the current knowledge of FV biology and the development as a gene transfer system.

Why yes I just typed out that title.
"Super Mom Stir Fry".
Who am I right now?
Just Mom. Not to be confused with Super Mom, although I like to lead you to believe that I am. In all reality, most days are filled with kids not wanting to do fill in the blank and me just trying to hold it together 'til bedtime. You may recall this Motherhood post.
Dinnertime may just be the worse part of the day. It used to by my favorite, but with no hubby home to help with the madness, I am back and forth between cooking and holding a cranky baby all the while fending off older children who are trying to snatch anything they can find in the pantry.

I'm at the break even point with this stock right now. I originally bought around 10. I started buying on the way down and ended up with 1100 shares. My cost average is right around were it is trading now. Should I hang on to this or dump and buy something else? I like RIG. Would appreciate some of your thoughts!
cnx 50 in 2 months
my brother is an oil landman. he says this admin very unfriendly toward big oil but alternative fuels long way off so still need oil. I suggest you check out BBG ,his previous company sold out at 80 dollars a share, and my bro works for PXD. I feel KWK could be sold at some point in the future. Just my gut feeling though I know that has been disputed. Thanks. Phil Boden www.philboden.com
Well, I wish you well in KWK if you really own the shares as you say. I just bought today at the close, after comparing UNG ,CHK and KWK for MONTHS. I am under water with UNG, after holding through the winter, but I sure as hell ain't selling now!
I learned my lesson, that weather doesn't trump a plummeting economy! I will ride it out now.
I think energy stocks are being manipulated down, just as they were on the way up. I know weather, but I don't know how to predict this market manipulation.
I just know that "they" will take NG back up again, at some point! I'd hoped Obama and Boone Pickens would've helped the sector more by now, but our day will come again before you know it. Maybe an early start to hurricane season? Lol.
You are going to be waiting years and not months for natgas. They found way, way, way too much. KWK and all the other little guys are going to have to go broke before it rebounds. KWK, CHK many others will go out of buisness. XEC, XTO, EOG will make it, but have huge pain coming.
this stock is goin up because it has been artificially DOWN due to concerns about their debt load, and the banks review of their debt in the month of MAY, first part of may i think.
well this stock has had recently HIGH insider buying, suggesting to me that there will be no concerns about the May bank review of their debt situation. lets say that that is all true. I figured we go from a low of $4 something to $8 to $10. well we are almost there NOW!
with NG demand estimates lowering daily, and inventory over-flowing the only near term play with this stock IS this concern about the banks review in MAY. I think its clear, with 80+% of the NG HEDGED (at a good price) there's little UPSIDE to this stock for the next 2 years. JUST this bounce that is focusing on KWK's ability to financially survive. I think the hedges and the level of production(reduced/measured) and the very good management team, KWK WILL survive. hence, the recent rise in stock price. if it gets to $10 or better on the banks certitification in MAY, Id then pull out your profits and go elsewhere. NG is in survival mode! find a chinese stock. read up on the FMCN story, about SINA buying up its better half of assets for a very large profit for share holders. not too late to get into that play.
Im hearing good things about nokia too??
you can MILK intc as it goes up and down...its not going to go broke. LOL same with MSFT.
I think energy is a good play...but its getting fooled with. its going to go back up, thats a certainty. but not 2009. maybe not 2010. RIG, is that a service company for oil companies? I figure oil will start capping off again until the pricing returns. thats a patient group of owners. well, read about fmcn /sina deal. fmcn will soon be getting .36 shares of sina, while keeping their shares of fmcn. est value of sina stock is $9 - $11 !!! with the then asset-reduced fmcn falling to $2-$3. but right now, you can buy FMCN for $6.70 a share! do the math! if this deal is approved by the c-govt, fmcn holders get a great return on investment. all this by end of q2 !!!! downside, no govt approval, stock drop to $4 now, but back up to $6.70 by year's end, and probably bought up by another suitor. IMHO. I sound humble , don't I?
good post!
i am long

Stamp: Little Danni with Flutterby and sentiment from Studio G; Card stock: PTI (Sweet Blush), Bazzill (chocolate brown) and DCWV (pink glitter); Patterned paper: SEI Jolie Chocolat; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Prismacolor markers; Spica Atyou glitter pens; Nesties Classic/Scalloped Large Rectangle and Labels One; PTI satin ribbon (Sweet Blush); Kaisercraft pink rhinestones; Martha Stewart butterfly punch; Marvy Uchida square punch (pink)
Good morning:o) I hope your weekend has been awesome and filled with loads of relaxation. Today's Try It Out
Tuesday Sunday challenge is to create a card/project with an Easter or spring theme. I was originally going for spring...but I have a hair appointment on Tuesday and decided to make an Easter goody bag and card for my hairdresser. I hope she likes it.
I used the darling image Little Danni with Flutterby from the recently released Hearts and Hugs Spring Collection by Victoria Case made exclusively for Susana's Custom Art & Card Design. The image was colored with Prismacolor markers with added touches of sparkle using Spica Atyou glitter pens. I know these aren't the traditional spring colors, but I chose to use the pink and brown because it is Cindy's fave color combo...plus, they are my fave papers.
I hope the rest of your weekend is fabulous!!! You may want to check out SCACD...Susana has recently added some cool new products to the store. Thank you for dropping by:o)

I admin one site for women who can register in it, and they loved it and love me :)
As others have said, only two work, the rest have transparent backgrounds.
If the author can't be bothered to update it then why should we be bother downloading it?
Don't download.
Working with several sites at once, both on localhost and live, it really helps to have different color dashboards. The clear colorful icons are a bonus that help me find the menu item more quickly.
Suggestion for enhancement: Add the option to add an admin favicon for the window/tab. I set that on all my sites in functions.php. But it would be great to have that as part of this plugin.
Thanks for this helpful plugin.
well,easy to use,and looks beautiful!
The icons are great. Unfortunately the custom color schemes can make the menu's popout-to-the-right have a transparent background.

We left for Idaho August 17, 2001. We took I-84 east and broke down just before Dead Mans Pass on the hills just east of Pendleton, Oregon. Uhaul towed it to Boise and we had to call Republic Western Insurance Inc. who represents Uhaul. We tried desperately to work with our adjuster, Brian Vannen, and the vice president of the company, Tom LaTush. We asked to have our truck fixed by Al's Car Care in Boise.
At first they towed it there. However, when Al's Car Care mechanics said that it needed a new engine and transmission, and possible a new radiator, as a result of the trailer it was pulling, they sent the truck to Homedale Auto Salvage in Homedale, Idaho with out our permission on August 28th. Then they told us they would not move it somewhere else despite our rejection to the shop it was at and they were going to put a engine and transmission in the truck that had 14,000 miles on it, the truck would only take 7-10 days to fix, and it would have a 1 year warranty.
Three weeks later, September 18th, they said it was done, and we could get it back. When we arrived at the shop to pick it up, we discovered that they lied to us and the engine and transmission has at least 67,000 and the name on the receipt said Jerry's Auto Clinic in Caldwell, Idaho. Both the shop and the insurance company were rude to us, lied to us, and gave us death threats.
We called the insurance company immediately and told him that we did not trust the work that was done because it was not running right. We also told him we were heading back to Portland, Oregon to live with family, of the threats the shop made to us, that the shop would not give us an invoice of the work that had been done, and the suspicions we had about the shop not being legitimate. We even called the phone number from the shops receipt and the person who answered said they had that number for 15 years.
We were also told that Jerry's Auto Clinic was shut down in Caldwell, Id by the police for stolen auto parts, which is when they moved to Homedale, Idaho and changed their name to Homedale Auto Salvage. We headed back to Portland, Oregon the same day we got the truck back.
On September 19th, at 4:00am we finally hit the eastern border of The Dalles, Oregon and the truck broke down because of the engine and transmission again and is, still today, sitting at the Shilo Inn at The Dalles. We called the Auto shop and they said "too F***ing bad.", refused to help, and made more threats. We called the insurance company and told them the problems and they gave us the same response as the shop. We are still fighting with both of them just trying to get some help and some answers since they have ruined our sons truck.
We are still getting death threat's from the insurance company and the shop. Our name's are Robert and Tracy Hawk and our son involved is, 4 year old, John Brundage III. Our other children that have suffered as a result of this are Zolynn Brundage and Nickolas Hawk. If you or anyone else can help in any way, we would all appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

Below My Expectations
Well, after reading the first two parts of this series, I was really hoping for something more upbeat and positive. Maybe my expectations for the Jackpot character were too high. Either way, the finale didn't sit well with me.
First, the writing didn't flow as well in this issue. The dialog seemed choppy and there were a few instances of commenting on things that really didn't need to be revisited like Boomerang and Jackpot once again stating that the other had a stupid name. It took the menace out of their fight because of what had transpired at the beginning of the issue. Spider-Man's presence only obstructed Jackpot's story and the personal journey she was on. IMO, his 'voice of reason' was a big flop and his incessant joking began grating my nerves. When your partner's just had her husband stabbed with a razor-sharp boomerang, it'd just be better to keep your mouth shut.
I didn't care for the art as much this issue. It seemed rushed and Sara's expressions of rage came off a bit exaggerated. It would have been nice to have had more details in Boomerang's face during their fights, especially the final one in which she may have (or not) killed Boomerang. But other than that, the art was great - sleek lines, nice coloring (at least with Jackpot's costume). A few other story elements didn't sit well with me especially the big reveal that the Rose was someone Sara knew all along. (Cliche)
So where does the story itself leave Sara? Well, Sara is exactly where she was at the beginning of the story except her husband's dead which leaves her daughter without a father and, in a bit of role reversal, Sara takes on Alana's name and has moved her and her daughter to California. The story doesn't say whether she keeps super-heroing as Jackpot or whether or not she killed Boomerang. All in all, I feel a little cheated. Maybe I was hoping Sara would do a job well done and see how much she's needed. Of course, I wasn't expecting her to be a single parent widow now either.
Why is it superheroes have to have something dark and traumatic happen to them? I thought Marvel was entering the Heroic Age, shouldn't the hero come out on top? Anyway, I do hope to see more of the character around, though I don't know how much it will be if she's based in California. Maybe she can team-up with Arachne and Rachel and Madeline (I mean Sydney) can have playdates.

We studied 18 young healthy women on the second, fourth, and 14th day of their menstrual cycle. Vaginal fluid was collected for measurement of oxygen and carbon dioxide tension (Po2 and Pco2 and specimens were collected for bacteriologic examination. The vaginal pH was measured at four different sites and the redox potential was measured in the top of the vagina. Staphylococcus aureus was found in three women. The P02 ranged from 0 to 77 mm Hg on day 2; 0 to 76 mm Hg on day 4; and 0 to 53 mm Hg on day 14. The mean PCo2 ( ± SE) was 46 ± 2 mm Hg on day 2; 62 ± 4.5 mm Hg on day 4; and 50.6 ± 8.5 mm Hg on day 14. The mean vaginal pH ( ± SE) was significantly higher on day 2 (6.6 ± 0.3) compared with day 4 (5.3 ± 0.3) and day 14 (4.2 ± 0.2). The redox potential was significantly higher on day 14 compared with day 2 and day 4. No differences were found in values of women who took birth control pills and those of the women who did not.

Love's Labour's Lost
by William Shakespeare
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Eye Love You
#demeyestho. Forget the rest of the body (well, not really—just don't talk about it in polite company, maybe?): for the lads of Love's Labour's Lost it's all about the eyes.
Berowne is especially obsessed with them. They are the vehicles through which knowledge reaches the mind, whether from books or from looking at a beautiful woman (the latter being Berowne's preferred method):
Light seeking light doth light of light beguile.
So, ere you find where light in darkness lies,
Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes. (1.1.79-81)
But it's not just that eyes are beautiful and convey emotion, lust and wit. They're the window to the dang soul. It's the emphasis on eyes that shows that these men aren't simply suffering from spring fever and horniness—they're actually (gulp) in love. It would actually be less worrisome if they were talking about maidens' bounteous bosoms or ruby red lips.
But no. They're getting an eyeful (hey-o!):
I heard your guilty rhymes, observed your fashion,
Saw sighs reek from you, noted well your passion.
'Ay, me!' says one. 'O Jove!' the other cries.
One, her hairs were gold, crystal the other's eyes. (4.3.144-147)
