2 Men Arrested in Shooting of Officer
By JAMES C. McKINLEY JR.
Published: May 7, 1989
Two men are being held in what Police Commissioner Benjamin Ward called the ''execution type'' shooting Friday night of an undercover officer as he tried to buy several thousand vials of crack from them. A third suspect is being sought.
Commissioner Ward said the suspects lured the officer to a spot in Harlem 20 blocks from where they had agreed to meet and then shot him because they had discovered he was a police officer.
''This was an execution-type hit,'' Mr. Ward said at a news conference in the 28th Precinct station house in Harlem yesterday afternoon.
The suspects were identified as Tequan Parker, 16 years old, of 271 East 118th Street in Harlem, and Kevin Rivers, 19 years old, of 40 Featherbed Lane in the Morris Heights section of the Bronx. They were arrested at 11 P.M. Friday at 1120 Jackson Avenue, in the Melrose section of the Bronx. Officer in Stable Condition
The officer, 26-year-old Richard Bert, was in stable condition at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center after surgery to remove a slug from his abdomen and to reattach a finger of his right hand. Officer Bert, who is single, has been on the force since July 1986 and was transferred to the Manhattan South narcotics unit in August.
Before he was shot, Officer Bert had lost contact with a team of police officers who were supposed to follow him, the Commissioner said.
The undercover officer, alone and unarmed, was trying to buy more than 6,000 vials of crack, the powerful cocaine derivative, as part of a two-month investigation of a large drug ring that operates at least three locations in Manhattan and the Bronx, Mr. Ward said.
The officer had bought 15,000 vials from the ring on eight occasions, each time asking for more vials, in an attempt to meet the leaders of the organization, the Commissioner said.
The day before the shooting, the police arrested three other members of the drug ring at a crack house in Manhattan, Mr. Ward said. The three - 19-year-old Rafael Cepeda, 20-year-old Osiris Bernal and 20-year-old Noel Bonilla - were charged with criminal sale of a controlled substance and possession of a deadly weapon. Meeting Place Is Changed
Mr. Ward said that at 7:30 P.M. Friday, Officer Bert went to West 140th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, where he had arranged to meet a member of the ring. The sale was to take place several blocks away, at 140th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue. Instead, another member of the ring arrived in a livery cab and said the meeting place had been changed.
The officer got into the cab and traveled with the man to 121 St. Nicholas Avenue, near 116th Street, the Commissioner said. In the car, the officer tried to signal to his back-up team that the meeting place had changed, but the team did not receive the message.
The officer and the suspect entered the building at 121 St. Nicholas Avenue and met the second suspect.
Inside the building, Mr. Rivers said he did not remember what apartment the meeting was to take place in, asked the officer for a quarter and left to make a telephone call. He returned a few minutes later with a third man, whom police were still seeking, Three Men Flee One of the men then fired three shots from a large-caliber revolver or semi-automatic pistol, Chief of Detectives Robert Colangelo said. One shot hit the officer in the right hand and the lower back before lodging in his abdomen. The three men then fled. Officer Bert staggered to a fire alarm box at the corner of St. Nicholas Avenue and 116th Street and called in an alarm. Emergency Medical Services technicians found him slumped against the fire-box pole.
The officer was not wearing a bullet-proof vest or carrying a weapon, a police spokesman, Lieut. Steven Davis, said. Undercover narcotics officers normally do not carry weapons for fear they will be discovered.
The gun used in the shooting was not recovered, Mr. Ward said.
Sterling Johnson, special narcotics prosecutor, said the shooting underscored the ruthless violence of gangs that sell crack. In past decades, undercover officers were seldom shot when dealers discovered their identity, he said.
''The rules of engagement in the drug war have changed,'' Mr. Johnson said. ''It's getting vicious out there.'' New Attitude Among Dealers
Mr. Ward said the new attitude stemmed from the youth of many members of crack-running organizations. Experienced drug dealers tend to flee rather than take a chance on killing a police officer, but teen-age gunmen tend to think they can escape prosecution by killing the officer, Mr. Ward said.
Mr. Parker and Mr. Rivers were being held at Manhattan Central booking yesterday afternoon pending arraignment on charges of attempted murder, criminal possession of a deadly weapon and the felony sale of a controlled substance.
The third suspect was described as a clean-shaven black man, about 5 feet 6 inches tall and wearing a three-quarter-length light-blue or gray bomber's jacket with a fur collar.
Seven other officers have been shot in the line of duty this year, one fatally.

The side effects of chronic levodopa therapy are rarely as disabling as Parkinson disease itself. Many patients, however, after years of levodopa therapy at doses needed to control parkinsonism, are disabled by dyskinesias or psychoses. Others experience a progressive shortening of levodopa's effect (reduced "on" time) after each dose or sudden, freezing episodes (the "on/off" phenomenon) not related to dose. These therapeutic difficulties have encouraged a search for other antiparkinsonian agents. Because the primary neurohumoral defect in patients with Parkinson disease is loss of striatal dopamine, much research has focused on direct-acting dopamine agonists.

The four-times world lightweight champion has played a major role in women's boxing, winning a place at the Olympics for the first time in London where she is Ireland's best hope of a gold medal.
One of the country's most popular athletes, the 26-year-old's appointment to the role was well-deserved, according to Irish Amateur Boxing Association chief Tommy Murphy.
"It's a great honour for Irish amateur boxing and we are absolutely delighted that Katie has been chosen to be the flag bearer for Ireland for the opening ceremony for the London Olympics," he said in a statement after the Olympic Council of Ireland confirmed the decision.
"She is the first female boxer to represent this country at the Olympic Games and it is a good choice. Katie is a fantastic ambassador for our sport and her record in international competition speaks for itself."

Clear Lens Exchange: A Closer Look at Clearer Vision
What is Clear Lens Exchange?
It's an unavoidable fact of life that aging and reading glasses go hand-in-hand.
For most people, it's a fact they would just as soon ignore. The good news is that today there are vision correction options that may be able to reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses. One of those options is clear lens exchange, a new approach to vision correction that uses proven surgical techniques to achieve dramatically improved vision for many patients.
With this procedure, we replace your eye's natural lens with a lens implant. Using a sophisticated artificial lens, we may be able to reduce your dependence on reading glasses or bifocals and improve your distance vision. While it sounds like a-cutting-edge surgery, in fact, surgeons perform a similar procedure over two million times each year on cataract patients.
The procedure
Clear lens exchange bears many similarities to today's cataract surgery. As a medical procedure, cataract surgery is one of safest and most frequently performed procedures today. Cataract surgery, like clear lens exchange, involves the removal of the natural lens and its replacement with an artificial lens.
To replace the lens, the surgeon makes a micro incision (about 3 mm) under the cornea. The surgeon breaks up the lens using ultrasonic vibrations and then gently removes it from the eye. The natural lens is replaced by a foldable "intraocular" lens, which is inserted through the micro incision. The lens then unfolds and is placed into permanent position. Because the incision is so small, it re-seals itself and no stitches are required. Typically, the second eye will be corrected about two weeks after the first procedure is performed.

So I replied in an old topic (9 months ) and the moderator closed it. I have to start a new one.
In reply to the moderator, I know my site is hacked and I have checked and done most of the actions you mentioned before. I also have the latest version of WordPress (3.5.1) and my site has just been installed 1 month ago. Some popular security plugins such as WordFence or Antivirus has been installed. Chmod has been checked. Comment and upload functions are removed...
What I wonder is that many people have the same problem, their sites are hacked in the same way (same code, same injected files, same machenism). So, there MUST be a formula to hack WordPress sites like that.
Anyone has a formula to protect WordPress against this hack|attack?

The wptouch developer's site seems to be down so I will post my question here.
I am setting up a wp site and need to be able to test the site without access to an iphone right now. There are a number of iphone simulators and testers but none seem to be able to display the wptouch iphone view. I can't even know if the plugin is working or not. Anyone have any suggestions? Is there any code I can modify temporarily to be able to just see how it will look on an iphone?
Is the wptouch plugin compatible with the latest worpress 2.7?

I like that WordPress creates a slug automatically from post titles by setting it to lower-case and removing all special characters. However, there seems to be (at least) one replacement mistake.
'ß' is replaced by 's'. Although the letter (special German one) is called 'sz' for historical reasons, it is canonically replaced by 'ss' if 'ß' is not available (font, upper case, ...).
Please change the responsible rules accordingly.

Iran to ban morality police from enforcing dress code
Iranian President Hassan Rowhani has banned the country's morality police from arresting women considered to be dressed immodestly, reported UK-based daily The Telegraph on Wednesday.
The curb on power of the Gashte Ershad (Guidance Patrol) was the fulfillment of an election promise to loosen strict standards on Iran's Islamic dress code.
Rowhani has tasked the Interior Ministry with maintaining standards in dressing – however, Iran's police head said that the dress code is no longer a matter of law enforcement and will be handled by a "social council."
Iran's Guidance Patrol was part of a collaboration of 26 government agencies, including "morality police" units as well as volunteer enforcers who are especially unpopular with many Iranians, according to the newspaper.
Rowhani had originally pledged that Iranian women would be protected from "harassment" and would be able to "enjoy real security."
The president also slammed the patrol's vigilantes, saying that their prescence was unconstitutional and "antagonizes our society and has negative results."

The smaller groups are extensions of the Cargill Choir and rehearse during the normal rehearsal time on Sunday morning.
Bell Choir
Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. We play the third Sunday of each month at both services. We are always interested in training new members to play bells either as full time members or as substitutes. Please contact Richard Severing (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you would like to give Bell Choir a try!

IT IS a challenge that even 007 would have to think twice about. James Bond star Pierce Brosnan is planning a big-budget historical epic aimed at bringing a 200-year-old Sir Walter Scott poem to life.
The Legend of Lochinvar, which is set in the Borders, is a Bond-style tale of a hero - Lord Lochinvar - who returns from battle to sweep a damsel off her feet and steal her from another suitor.
Brosnan, with his days of playing the secret agent behind him, is now going ahead with other projects and may start filming Lochinvar in Scotland and North Africa next summer.
Top scriptwriter Mike Finch has completed the tricky adaptation of the poem into a screenplay that will appeal to 21st-century audiences.
Brosnan's Santa Monica-based production company, Irish DreamTime, is now working on financing.
Scott's Lochinvar - which is named after a loch in Dumfries and Galloway - is set in the 15th century, but Finch's screenplay fleshes the plot out with new characters and moves it back about 300 years to the Crusades.
Brosnan says the budget for the film is huge. "It is an epic, classic story. We have been out scouting locations and the text is very good. It can be a great yarn," he said.
The Irish-born actor will play a Knight Templar called MacGregor, and may also direct the film. Samantha Morton has been linked with the role of Lord Lochinvar's sweetheart, Lady Ellen.
Brosnan, 51, confirmed earlier this month that his days of playing Bond after four movies were now over. "I will be moving into production instead. The new films will be just as action-packed and very exciting so watch this space," said the actor, who is now a US citizen.
Irish DreamTime's previous films include the 1999 remake of The Thomas Crown Affair and the recent screwball romantic comedy Laws of Attraction, but Lochinvar represents its biggest challenge by far.
Despite Scott's reputation as one of Scotland's greatest literary figures, his works have not transferred well to the big screen. There have been films of his books, particularly Ivanhoe and The Bride of Lammermoor, and at least five previous films based on the story of Lochinvar.
But the Lochinvar films were all made in the silent era and Scott's wordy stories of chivalry have since fallen out of favour with readers and film-makers.
But Brosnan's company believes the recent rash of swordplay movies, such as Gladiator, Troy and Alexander the Great, may work in Lochinvar's favour.

I live in Ohio. My Lawyer filed a chapter 7 Bankruptcy for me---now i do not want to go through with it. I don't want to go to jail for not showing up. My lawyer says he will charge me for filing a paper with the court. Can I file this myself? And what do I have to file? In the chapter 7 i filed to keep my house so does that make a difference. I am on SSI and don't have the money to give my lawyer anything else. What should I do?
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
When you file a Chapter 7, it isn't easy to just back out because you changed your mind. You can't just file a piece of paper asking to back out and be certain the Judge will say "okay."
In addition, the Bankruptcy Trustee now owns your property. Although you may have claimed certain items as exempt, there are not exempt until your trustee meeting is completed and 30 days have elapsed.
What you should do is listen to the advice of your attorney. I wouldn't have filed a Chapter 7 case for you unless I believed it was in your best interests and I suspect your attorney has the same way of thinking.
Hope this perspective helps!
Bankruptcy Attorney
You need to discuss the decision to dismiss your Chapter 7 with your attorney. In order to voluntarily dismiss you ahve to Show Cause as to why the Court should grant your dismissal. A debtor does not ahve the unilateral ability to dismiss their bankruptcy once filed. Also, keep in mind that even if you do dismiss, hte bankruptcy is on your credit report adn will stay there despite the dismissal. It may be in your best interest to proceed with your Chapter 7.

Definition of Franz Josef in English:
Franz Josef
(1830–1916), emperor of Austria 1848–1916 and king of Hungary 1867–1916. He gave Hungary equal status with Austria in 1867. His annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1908) contributed to European political tensions, and the assassination in Sarajevo of his heir apparent, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, precipitated the First World War.

Following Wednesday night's 82-69 loss to Wake Forest, the Heels' worst home loss since 2003, it's a very realistic possibility. That's the same Wake team that was just spanked by Duke, was only 4-3 away from Winston-Salem this season and hadn't won in Chapel Hill in seven years.
The Heels certainly will fall out of the Top 25 in the next polls after being a Top 5 team to open the season. In fairness, UNC was without two key big men against Wake as Tyler Zeller remains out until next month with a stress fracture in his foot and likely Top 5 NBA pick Ed Davis missed the game with an ankle injury. But the Heels have waves of high school All-American big men they can roll out – it's in the backcourt where they are having major issues.
Losses to Syracuse, Kentucky and Texas are all understandable, but you knew something was different with Carolina when it they lost at the College of Charleston in its first game of the New Year, blowing an 11-point lead. The backcourt problems were magnified in that game as the Heels were outscored 39-3 behind the three-point line. North Carolina's guards, especially point guard Larry Drew II, have struggled trying to replaced Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington, who left early for the NBA. Drew has combined for 19 points and 14 turnovers in the losing streak. The Heels have won every game in which he has scored in double digits, including over ranked teams Michigan State and Ohio State as well as their lone ACC win (Virginia Tech) – not coincidentally covering in those three wins.
Wake guard Ishmael Smith gave the Heels big-time trouble, scoring 20 points and adding six assists and seven rebounds. In four ACC games, the opposing point guards are averaging 24 points per game against UNC. It wasn't much better on the offensive end against Wake, as UNC was 6-for-26 from three-point range and had zero (zero!) fast break points. The only positive was that UNC had its first positive assist-to-turnover ratio (17-9) since a Dec. 22 victory over Marshall – a span of seven games.
You can go ahead and forget about this team winning the ACC, as UNC has started 1-3 in the conference for the first time since 2004. UNC has seven ACC road games remaining, and the Tar Heels are 1-5 away from the Smith Center this year. Don't touch Roy's Boyz on the road, since that's when their lack of a true leader really shows. In fact, until this team finds some confidence as well, buyers beware of the Carolina Blue at home, too.

List of civilian casualties of the
Vigil at Bank Square, downtown Little Falls, intersection of Hwy 27 (Broadway Ave.) and First Street (where we met all years past) at 1 pm-2 pm.
Brainerd Area Coalition for Peace (BACP) held a vigil against police brutality in solidarity with national protests against police brutality, including a major demonstration in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, December 13.
The vigil demanded an end to police brutality and racial profiling and that police officers who commit police brutality be held legally accountable. The vigil opposed the militarization of the police force and protested disparities in justice based on class, race, and ethnicity.
The vigil also supported strong reforms to the criminal justice system against police brutality, racial profiling, harsh prison sentences for non-violent offenses, solitary confinement, and institutional bias in the justice system based on class, race, and ethnicity. The vigil supported justice for police brutality victims.

Countdown Is On: British Columbians Anxiously Await Enbridge Recommendation
Emma Gilchrist | December 17, 2013
By Emma Gilchrist • Tuesday, December 17, 2013 - 16:23
In the summer of 2009, Dave Shannon found himself sitting in Dieter Wagner's backyard.
Wagner, a former colleague at Kitimat's aluminum smelter, had convened a meeting of locals concerned about Enbridge's Northern Gateway proposal, which would see oil piped across British Columbia and loaded onto tankers in Kitimat.
"I'm an engineer, so industry is necessary, but some industries aren't a good idea. This is one of them," 67-year-old Shannon says. "I never was an activist throughout my whole life. This one just caught my attention."
As the small group enjoyed tea and biscuits in the sunshine, they plotted how to fight back against Enbridge.
"We were spinning our wheels, wondering what to do to get going," Shannon recalls. "We had no idea what was about to happen, but we thought it might be something we should worry about."
The group dubbed themselves "Douglas Channel Watch" and registered as an intervenor in the National Energy Board hearings, meaning they could present evidence and cross-examine Enbridge's witnesses.

Fashion Merchandiser: Education Programs and Career Outlook
Learn about the education and preparation needed to become a fashion merchandiser. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about degree programs, job duties and internships to find out if this is the career for you.
Essential Information
Fashion merchandisers spot emerging trends, create seasonal fashion lines, install store displays, track inventory and supervise sales. Experience in the field is vital, but several levels of certificate and degree programs also prepare candidates for a variety of fashion merchandising careers including merchandising manager, retail buyer, product coordinator and product developer.
|Required Education
|Certificate programs prepare students for entry-level positions, associate's degree, bachelor's degree and master's degree programs are available for higher level positions
|Other Requirements
|Optional internship programs to gain work experience
|Projected Job Growth (2012-2022)
|4% (purchasing managers, buyers, and purchasing agents)*
|Median Salary (2014)
|$106,090 (purchasing managers)*
Source: *Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
Education Programs for Fashion Merchandisers
Specific career goals determine the educational option selected. Job titles within this career include merchandise manager, retail buyer, product coordinator and product developer. Job seekers who have strong computer skills and a solid grasp of the global economy will be better prepared to meet the demands of this field. Internship programs can help students gain hands-on fashion merchandising experience, and relevant work experience in retail settings can also prove valuable. Those who seek top-level executive jobs in the field are required to have a master's degree in business administration, fashion merchandising or a related field.
Certificate Programs
Certificate programs offered at trade schools or community colleges cover introductory courses in fashion merchandising, such as fashion buying and the principles of retailing. Certificate programs prepare students for entry-level jobs in the field and usually take less than one year to complete.
Associate Degree Programs
Offered by community colleges, 2-year fashion merchandising programs give students a more in-depth education in marketing and business management. In addition to business and management skills, these fashion merchandising programs typically provide a foundation in the fashion industry, textiles and cultural aspects of clothing. Graduates learn to predict consumer behavior and ensure that products meet the needs of the consumer.
Bachelor's Degree Programs
Bachelor's degree programs in fashion merchandising typically expose students to the study of global fashion markets. Coursework emphasizes the development of managerial and fashion trend analysis skills. This course of study prepares students to work as retail managers, product coordinators and retail buyers.
Master's Degree Programs
Master's degrees in fashion merchandising offer students the opportunity to develop specialized knowledge to shape their careers. Advanced studies in fashion forecasting and the international fashion market provide a basis for better managerial decision making. Graduate students also gain deeper product knowledge and learn skills to evaluate the quality of fashion products. They may learn as much about design and textiles as about the business side of the fashion industry.
Career Outlook for Fashion Merchandisers
The fashion industry in the U.S. and around the world continues to grow, though economic factors have had an impact in recent years. Overall employment for purchasing managers and buyers is expected to grow at a rate of four percent from 2012-2022, which is slower than the total average for occupations in the U.S., according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Growth in the retail industry is likely to occur in superstores and other large discount retailers due to economic decline, according to the BLS. Smaller, more specialized retailers and traditional department stores may be vulnerable to declining economic conditions and changing fashion trends. Job seekers may find opportunities in other industries such as media, entertainment or advertising.

Stocks which have been in sharp downtrends like SKUL, but which manage to hold their own on Dow minus 300 point days like today are probably indicating that their bottoms have been reached.
SKUL opened lower and held the daily pivot support-1 level at $8.88 and then went up and tagged it's daily pivot at $9.18, to the penny, and then rejected it.
It needs to start getting over and hold its daily pivot to be stable, imo.
Today's pivot price is yesterday's (high+low+close)/3 = 9.18.

Some people think that QR codes are outdated and don't have the same effects they used to, but others would disagree; us included.
To test our theory, we decided to fill in our friend about QR codes and see how it affected a local limo company.
The results? Not so good. And in this post, we wanted to share the results as to why that was the case.
Why QR Codes Didn't Work for Our Friend's Limo Company
The biggest problem we had with using QR codes for limo marketing were the fact that we didn't have many places to post them aside from the website.
It wasn't the fact that enough people didn't visit the website, we think it was the fact that people were already coming to the website so therefore it wasn't the code that brought them there.
So we started to think about the other places that we could post it so that it would get more attention, which started to become more trouble than it was worth. And here's why.
Many adults looking for a limo service don't even know what the heck QR codes are, let alone how to get the information from them. If you have never seen what one looks like before, you more than likely know how these people feel.
Just look how confusing that could be to someone that has now idea what it is, or that you need an app on your phone to read it.
While the idea seems fun and unique, it can be more confusing than it's really worth.
So, Should Limo Companies Use QR Codes for Promotion?
In essence, no.
QR codes are more trouble than they are worth seeing as there are much more convenient ways to market that cause less hassle and in some cases, money.
Unless a limo business owner has a lot of extra money to spend on their monthly marketing and advertising, we sure wouldn't suggest using QR codes but instead, maybe Google Adwords and citation building.

i am sad i didn't get to post before i left, but i just arrived home from ethiopia wednesday afternoon! i spent a week with an amazing group of woman visiting many amazing ministries. i am still trying to process all that i learned and saw while i was in-country. i had such a BLAST on this trip…but was also brought to my knees. i made lifelong friendships with the people i traveled with and made some great new friendships with people i now call my ethiopian family.
you would think after my 5th trip to africa it would get easier. it doesn't…reintegration is rough. if you are wondering why i am not answering the phone…please read erica's post. i could not have said it better in my own words.
i can't wait to gather all my pictures so i can share with you all the amazing things that are going on in ethiopia! there are some wonderful ministries on the ground in ET working tirelessly to keep children with their families. as much as i am overwhelmed by the magnitude of the task…i am inspired by these organizations and the woman that participate in them. truly amazed!

The Plugin works great! I can't believe it is not much more popular. Easily has some of the best features out there, and is rather convenie!t at the same time.
Fully recommended!
Endres from change.lighting
I used your plugin on a project of mine. It's perfect for that scale.
I'm just getting the hang of it, however as Gilbert Cattoire says
Jazzy Forms fulfilled my dreams beyond my wildest hopes
Thank you so so much!!
Great Plugin! Extremely useful! Congratulations!
I am sorry, but after installing the plugin it did not add any "Forms" items to WordPress'es menu in the sidebar. It must have some incompatibilities issues with some templates or WP 4.0.
This is the only form plugin I will use...the best!
I must say that this plugin is not fully there yet. But it shows that it can be a topper in the future when the development will be continued. 5 stars anyway because I did try many other plugins which all had some problems or other negative facts. This one did help me out solving my requirements on some forms with calculations right away. Keep on going with the development and I am happy to see some upcoming updates. Thanks for this plugin.
This is my first plugin to review, but I just had to review this! Seriously, the guy who developed and came up with this deserves a lot of praise! Very nice plugin, and it just works like expected. Very intuitive, and just the features you need. There are a few things that are unclear because of the missing, documentation, but we get this for free, so I realize it might take some time. Really appreciate you putting this out there.
Thumbs up, please keep up the amazing work with this! So so, useful....
Thank you again, jazzigor!
I love jazzy forms :)
you are able to get some really complex routines working
I used this plugin to create a simple wedding cake price estimator. It worked very well. Even without very much documentation it was quite intuitive. With a bit more documentation it will be terrific. Very pleased- good job!
This plugin is excellent. I was intending to purchase a custom made plugin to carry out dynamic pricing on a sliding scale. Although the process has tested my limited understanding of nested IF statements, and I still have some small teething problems to iron out, ultimately really this is an excellent solution for an instant quotation (and to email this to you/the customer if you wish). To the developer, I would happily pay for the ability to link to the site's PayPal page, with a summary of the quotation included.
Thanks again!

Title Tag Rewriter is not working for me.
My settings for posts:
{post} | Zona Enduro. Show's only {post}
Try these:
1. Do you have any other SEO plugins enabled? If so, you'll need to disable those first.
2. Does your theme have SEO functions? Those may be interfering with SEO Ultimate. Try disabling the SEO functions if your theme has that option, or temporarily switch to the default theme and see if that fixes it.
3. Check the "Settings" tab of "Title Tag Rewriter." If "filtering" is enabled, try choosing "output buffering" instead.
4. Does your theme's header.php file include
wp_head(); anywhere?
Hello John
Did experience the same issue. Seems to be a bug.
I have the same issue, the formats/variables work fine on the Title Tag Rewriter > Default Formats settings, but not on the Title Tag Rewriter > Pages settings ? Which ever variable I use in Title Tag Rewriter > Pages becomes the page title, for example {page} | {page_parent} becomes:
<title>{page} | {page_parent} </title>
I am using SEO 6.9.4 and WP 3.2.1

When I submit the form and it fails, I have no troubles with the page. However, if the form is successful, the page reloads with the error: Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.
On submit the url has added the "#wpcf7-f1-p91-o1" string, on both fail and success. But only the successful submission gives me no posts.
Besides fixing this error, is there a way to not have the url modified?

Man Utd seem to be getting tetchy over this - perhaps because of guilt. I did also notice AF comment after Luton boss Kewell peeped the whistle - sounded a bit like "who - not me guv". I think this will boil over and indict a lot of people.

I use Relevanssi on another site, and it works great. Thank you! I'm currently trying to use it on http://www.marciamountshoop.com, but I keep getting results that I can tell are coming from the WP Search (because they're not in order of relevance, terms not highlighted, etc.)
I've checked the search.php template thoroughly (twice to be sure), and there's definitely no query_posts() on it.
In the past, I had discovered that the plugin Google Analytics caused Relevanssi to fail. So I uninstalled it completely; still no success.
Deactivated ALL of my plugins and tried again; still no success.
Any ideas or suggestions? There's something with this site, I know, but I just can't figure out what it is.
Thanking you VERY MUCH in advance,

Vygotsky's theories stress the fundamental role of social interaction in the development of cognition Vygotsky, 1978), as he believed strongly that community plays a central role in the process of "making meaning." Unlike Piaget's notion that children's' development must necessarily precede their learning, Vygotsky argued, ""learning is a necessary and universal aspect of the process of developing culturally organized, specifically human psychological function"" (1978, p. 90). In other words, social learning tends to precede (i.e. come before) development. Vygotsky has developed a socio-cultural approach to cognitive development. He developed his theories at around the same time as [15]Jean Piaget was starting to develop his theories (1920's and 30's), but he died at the age of 38 and so his theories are incomplete - although some of his writings are still being translated from Russian. No single principle (such as Piaget's equilibration) can account for development. Individual development cannot be understood without reference to the social and cultural context within which it is embedded. Higher mental processes in the individual have their origin in social processes. Vygotsky's theory differs from that of Piaget in a number of important ways: 1: Vygotsky places more emphasis on culture affecting/shaping cognitive development - this contradicts Piaget's view of universal stages and content of development. (Vygotsky does not refer to stages in the way that Piaget does). 2: Vygotsky places considerably more emphasis on social factors contributing to cognitive development (Piaget is criticised for underestimating this). 3: Vygotsky places more (and different) emphasis on the role of language in cognitive development (again Piaget is criticized for lack of emphasis on this). IFRAME: [16]http://www.youtube.com/embed/yY-SXM8f0gU?rel=0 Effects of Culture: - Tools of intellectual adaptation Like Piaget, Vygotsky claimed that infants are born with the basic materials/abilities for intellectual development - Piaget focuses on motor reflexes and sensory abilities. Lev Vygotsky refers to Elementary Mental Functions - o [17]Attention o Sensation o [18]Perception o [19]Memory Eventually, through interaction within the socio-cultural environment, these are developed into more sophisticated and effective mental processes/strategies which he refers to as Higher Mental Functions. For example, memory in young children this is limited by biological factors. However, culture determines the type of memory strategy we develop. E.g., in our culture we learn note-taking to aid memory, but in pre-literate societies other strategies must be developed, such as tying knots in string to remember, or carrying pebbles, or repetition of the names of ancestors until large numbers can be repeated. Vygotsky refers to tools of intellectual adaptation - these allow children to use the basic mental functions more effectively/adaptively, and these are culturally determined (e.g. memory mnemonics, mind maps). Vygotsky therefore sees cognitive functions, even those carried out alone, as affected by the beliefs, values and tools of intellectual adaptation of the culture in which a person develops and therefore socio-culturally determined. The tools of intellectual adaptation therefore vary from culture to culture - as in the memory example. Social Influences on Cognitive Development Like [20]Piaget, Vygotsky believes that young children are curious and actively involved in their own learning and the discovery and development of new understandings/schema. However, Vygotsky placed more emphasis on social contributions to the process of development, whereas Piaget emphasized self-initiated discovery. According to Vygotsky (1978), much important learning by the child occurs through social interaction with a skillful tutor. The tutor may model behaviors and/or provide verbal instructions for the child. Vygotsky refers to this as co-operative or collaborative dialogue. The child seeks to understand the actions or instructions provided by the tutor (often the parent or teacher) then internalizes the information, using it to guide or regulate their own performance. Shaffer (1996) gives the example of a young girl who is given her first jigsaw. Alone, she performs poorly in attempting to solve the puzzle. The father then sits with her and describes or demonstrates some basic strategies, such as finding all the comer/edge pieces and provides a couple of pieces for the child to put together herself and offers encouragement when she does so. As the child becomes more competent, the father allows the child to work more independently. According to Vygotsky, this type of social interaction involving co-operative or collaborative dialogue promotes cognitive development. In order to gain an understanding of Vygotsky's theories on cognitive development, one must understand two of the main principles of Vygotsky's work: the More Knowledgeable Other (MKO) and the [21]Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). More Knowledgeable Other The more knowledgeable other (MKO) is somewhat self-explanatory; it refers to someone who has a better understanding or a higher ability level than the learner, with respect to a particular task, process, or concept. Although the implication is that the MKO is a teacher or an older adult, this is not necessarily the case. Many times, a child's peers or an adult's children may be the individuals with more knowledge or experience. For example, who is more likely to know more about the newest teen-age music groups, how to win at the most recent PlayStation game, or how to correctly perform the newest dance craze - a child or their parents? In fact, the MKO need not be a person at all. Some companies, to support employees in their learning process, are now using electronic performance support systems. Electronic tutors have also been used in educational settings to facilitate and guide students through the learning process. The key to MKOs is that they must have (or be programmed with) more knowledge about the topic being learned than the learner does. Zone of Proximal Development The concept of the More Knowledgeable Other is integrally related to the second important principle of Vygotsky's work, the Zone of Proximal Development. vygotsky's zone of proximal development This is an important concept that relates to the difference between what a child can achieve independently and what a child can achieve with guidance and encouragement from a skilled partner. For example, the child could not solve the jigsaw puzzle (in the example above) by itself and would have taken a long time to do so (if at all), but was able to solve it following interaction with the father, and has developed competence at this skill that will be applied to future jigsaws. Vygotsky (1978) sees the [22]Zone of Proximal Development as the area where the most sensitive instruction or guidance should be given - allowing the child to develop skills they will then use on their own - developing higher mental functions. Vygotsky also views interaction with peers as an effective way of developing skills and strategies. He suggests that teachers use cooperative learning exercises where less competent children develop with help from more skillful peers - within the zone of proximal development. Evidence for Vygotsky and the ZPD Freund (1990) conducted a study in which children had to decide which items of furniture should be placed in particular houses of a dolls house. Some children were allowed to play with their mother in a similar situation before they attempted it alone (zone of proximal development) whilst others were allowed to work on this by themselves (Piaget's discovery learning). Freund found that those who had previously worked with their mother (ZPD) showed greatest improvement compared with their first attempt at the task. The conclusion being that guided learning within the ZPD led to greater understanding/performance than working alone (discovery learning). Vygotsky and Language According to Vygotsky (1962) language plays 2 critical roles in cognitive development: 1: It is the main means by which adults transmit info to children. 2: Language itself becomes a very powerful tool of intellectual adaptation. Vygotsky sees "private speech" as a means for children to plan activities and strategies and therefore aid their development. Language is therefore an accelerator to thinking/understanding ([23]Bruner also views language in this way). Vygotsky believed that language develops from social interactions, for communication purposes. Later language ability becomes internalized as thought and "inner speech". Thought is the result of language. Current applications of Vygotsky's work A contemporary application of Vygotsky's theories is "reciprocal teaching", used to improve students' ability to learn from text. In this method, teacher and students collaborate in learning and practicing four key skills: summarizing, questioning, clarifying, and predicting. The teacher's role in the process is reduced over time. Also, Vygotsky is relevant to instructional concepts such as "scaffolding" and "apprenticeship", in which a teacher or more advanced peer helps to structure or arrange a task so that a novice can work on it successfully. Vygotsky's theories also feed into current interest in collaborative learning, suggesting that group members should have different levels of ability so more advanced peers can help less advanced members operate within their [24]zone of proximal development.
