WHAT'S DOING IN; St. Croix
By HOPE REEVES
Published: February 3, 2002
At 82 square miles, St. Croix is the largest of the three United States Virgin Islands and, with towns and shopping malls, an oil refinery and an aluminum plant, beaches and a rain forest, like a little country unto itself.
The Spanish, Dutch, English and French who occupied St. Croix before the United States purchased the islands in 1917 left their marks -- the French, the island's name; the English, driving on the left -- but none as indelibly as the Danes. Christiansted and Frederiksted, the two main towns, are lined with 18th-century Danish-style pink, yellow and white buildings surrounded by palm-shaded courtyards and arcades; the rest of the island contains the vestiges of sugar plantations, with giant stone chimneys and windmills.
The island's jewels are its beaches, from pond-calm and teeming with snorkelers and swimmers to wild and deserted, though all share crystal-clear water and powdery white sand. And with an average year-round temperature of 80 degrees, most days (except possibly in the peak of hurricane season, late August to early October) are beach days. When visitors tire of the water, the island supplies museums and duty-free shops.
The evenings cool down to about 70 degrees, ideal for sampling restaurants and local entertainment. But visitors should exercise caution in the main towns: since November, four cruise passengers and crew members have been mugged or robbed.
Every other Wednesday is Harbor Night in Frederiksted -- a street party with local bands, vendors, food and entertainment, including traditional Mocko Jumbies, colorfully costumed stilt dancers. Events usually begin along the waterfront on Strand Street around 7 p.m. and last until 11:30. Created to entertain cruise ship passengers, the block party is attended by an equal mix of residents and tourists. Coming Harbor Nights: Feb. 13 and 27 and March 13 and 27; (340) 772-4000.
Every Wednesday the Landmarks Society House Tours, www.stcroix landmarks.org, takes visitors inside four island houses. The schedule for February and March includes tours of Sprat Hall and Estate Cane Garden, both well-preserved Dutch historic plantations, and the former home of the actress Maureen O'Hara. Participants meet at one of three island locations; call (340) 772-0598 to find out which one. Tours are scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Feb. 6, 13, 20 and 27 and March 6 and 13. Admission is $25 and you must bring your own transportation or be prepared to carpool. There is a walking tour of Christiansted houses on March 2, also $25.
Celebrate cupid with the Crucians at the Valentine's Jump-Up, a block party in downtown Christiansted. Starting at 6 p.m., entertainment will include Mocko Jumbies, music by local bands and steel-pan orchestras. Shops will stay open late with sales. The free party is scheduled for Friday evening from 6 to 10 p.m. Information: (340) 713-8012.
The 2002 Agricultural Fair at the Estate Lower Love Fairgrounds, along Route 70 just east of Frederiksted, shows off locally grown food and livestock from Feb. 16 to 18, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Stands offer a variety of traditional food like johnnycakes and roti (flatbread roll-ups with various fillings), along with arts and crafts. Local musicians and artists will perform. General admission is $5; (340) 692-2605.
A sizable array of local art in various media can be seen and purchased at the annual Caribbean Fine Arts Exhibit, at the Good Hope School, a private school, 170 Estate Whim, Frederiksted, (340) 772-0022. A meet-the-artists reception with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres will be held Feb. 15 from 7 to 9 p.m.; admission $25. The exhibition is free, open Feb. 16 and 17, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Feb. 18, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Irish never owned St. Croix, but you wouldn't know it by the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Floats make their way through Christiansted as spectators (mostly locals) cheer and guzzle. Dress to stay cool and be prepared to get drenched in beer. Festivities on March 17 start at about 10:30 a.m.
A visit to the 16-acre St. George Village Botanical Garden, 127 Estate St. George, (340) 692-2874, www .sgvbg.com, is worthwhile, especially on March 23 and 24 during the Flower Festival, with displays by local horticulturalists. Native and exotic plants are on permanent display. Admission $6; open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Every beach on St. Croix is public, even the ones next to resorts, and the far-flung beaches are often nearly deserted. Jack and Isaac Bays, on the very southeast tip of the island past the new Divi Casino at the end of Route 82, are secluded and beautiful, with calm waters. You must park and hike a couple of miles to each beach; no food or drinks are sold along the way, so take water and a picnic. Sandy Point, along the southwest corner of the island near Fred eriksted, is pristine but open only on weekends.
President John F. Kennedy declared the 704 acres of clear water and coral reef surrounding Buck Island, two miles off St. Croix's north shore, a national monument. A look while snorkeling along the underwater trail dotted with more than 200 species of fish will explain why. Big Beard's Adventure Tours, Pan Am Pavilion, Christiansted, (866) 773-4482, www.bigbeards.com, operates half- and full-day trips on a glass-bottomed catamaran, with snorkel gear included. Full day, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., lunch and beverages included, $70 adults, $50 ages 6 to 12; half day, noon to 4:30 p.m., $45 and $35.

You idiot, it's the poor ground (drains too fast, doesn't hold water) in the valley, plus the lack of top soil on the slopes that are the problem. Stop blaming the people, you racist!

Every few days the API key setting drops from one of the blogs I work on and am wondering what is up with that. (like it forgets what the key was) We get this notice on the dashboard: "WordPress.com Stats needs attention: please enter an API key or disable the plugin." yet the key was entered fine (again) last week.
How can we test, troubleshoot, and fix it so this won't happen again?

I ended up calling TXU who immediately took out my deposit, which was $90 cheaper. The man there looked up the service and stated that it was still in the previous tenant's name! I do not know if Reliant never switched it over to our name or what! I cannot get electricity before Monday no matter what.
What would happen if the 4 year old in my care were to die of an asthma attack because I couldn't get electricity for his breathing treatments? Why did they do this on a Friday before a holiday weekend? Why didn't they take the money out for my deposit rather than sending me a bill for it? I had no access to my new mail box until the night before so I had no knowledge they didn't get their deposit, which should have been taken out of my account the week before. The previous tenant was signed up for electricity through the following Tuesday too. I do not know why there was no contact with me in an attempt to resolve this matter before 2 children were without electricity.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A tier one supplier to Hyundai Motor Company will expand its production facilities in Montgomery.
Governor Bob Riley said MOBIS Alabama will invest more than $55 million and add 141 new jobs. MOBIS already employs 825 workers.
Company executives joined Riley yesterday in announcing the projects.
South Korean-based MOBIS will increase the size of its redistribution center, plastic injection facility and paint shop.
The company manufactures cockpit modules and front and rear chassis modules.
Executives said the facilities will serve the Hyundai auto plant in Montgomery and the Kia auto plant under construction just across the state line in West Point, Georgia.
Construction will begin next month.

- Conference date: 24 June–7 July 2012
- Location: Sinaia, Romania
The study of neutrino properties is one of the fundamental challenges in particle physics nowadays. Fifty years of investigations established that neutrinos are massive but the absolute mass scale has not yet been measured. Moreover its true nature is still unknown. Is the neutrino its own antiparticle (thus violating the lepton number) as proposed by Majorana in 1937? The only way to probe the neutrino nature is through the observation of Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (0νββ), a very rare spontaneous nuclear transition which emits two electrons and no neutrinos. In this paper, after a brief introduction to the theoretical framework of Majorana's neutrino, a presentation of experimental challenges posed by 0νββ search will be given as well as an overview of present status and future perpectives of experiments.

John McCain's selection of Palin has generated so much interest in the Republican ticket that Obama needs to make a radical move to regain momentum. So in the days after the vice presidential candidates debate in Missouri, Biden will bow out, citing "health problems" (Biden underwent surgery in 1988 to repair two brain aneurysms). Enter Clinton.
Furthermore, the story goes, any damage the gaffe-prone Biden does during the debate will be erased by his abrupt exit.
It sounds like a job for Fight the Smears, the Web site the Obama campaign set up to quash damaging Internet rumors. But Fight the Smears hasn't touched this one, perhaps out of fear that it would only further a wild rumor. The Obama campaign has not commented on it, other than to say that Biden's medical records will be released soon.
Snopes.com, a site devoted to picking apart online rumors and urban legends, has labeled the status of the claim "undetermined." Several online discussion boards have been loaded up with denials.
Biden has caused a few hiccups for the Obama campaign. On Monday, he had to issue a clarification after he called one of his own campaign ads "terrible" in an interview with CBS News. He also faced a rebuke from Obama after he spoke out against the government bailout of American International Group last week before Obama was ready to take a position.
On Tuesday, he said that President Franklin Roosevelt had gone on television in 1929 to discuss the Wall Street crash (Herbert Hoover was president in 1929 and the TV hadn't been invented yet).
At one point, he even said Hillary Clinton might have been a better pick for Obama's No. 2.
The Republican National Committee has gleefully set up a Biden "gaffe clock" to monitor his rhetorical flubs on the campaign trail.
Nonetheless, Democratic supporters dismiss outright any speculation that he might be dropped from the ticket.
"It's crazy. … It's just not gonna happen," Democratic strategist Bob Beckel said.
Dropping Biden from the ticket would be a throwback to George McGovern's shocker in 1972, when he replaced running mate Thomas Eagleton after it was learned that Eagleton had undergone electro-shock therapy for depression.
McGovern lost to President Nixon in a landslide, suggesting that seventh-inning lineup changes are not the best strategy for presidential candidates who want to shake things up.
Speaking hypothetically, Beckel said that, if it were to happen, the Democratic National Committee could feasibly call a mini-convention of sorts to confirm a new running mate. He also said "it would be so disruptive" that it would make no sense for Obama to pursue such a change.
Deadlines have passed in some states to send absentee ballots to military personnel and civilian voters overseas — meaning they would have received a ballot already with Biden (and Palin) on their parties' tickets.
"I doubt it," said Christopher Hull, presidential scholar and adjunct government professor at Georgetown University, when told of the Biden rumor. "Joe Biden is not that big a liability. Joe Biden was arguably the most experienced candidate in the [Democratic primary] race."
"Joe Biden, of course, has shot off his mouth and gotten himself in trouble," he added. "It's Joe Biden we're talking about."
Though Obama lost ground in the polls after McCain tapped Palin to be his running mate, he has recently regained some of that footing. The FOX News Opinion Dynamics Poll on Wednesday gave Obama a 6-point lead, and a Washington Post-ABC News poll put his lead at 9 points. The Gallup daily tracking poll gave the Democrat a 3-point lead.
Hull said he would understand the desire to put Clinton on the ticket if Obama were persistently trailing in the polls.
A recent Associated Press-Yahoo News poll showed former Clinton backers are still reluctant to support Obama. The survey showed just 58 percent of them back him - unchanged since a similar poll in June.
But Hull said he doesn't sense panic in the Obama ranks.
"I don't think the Obama campaign was panicking even when the rest of the Democrats were panicking," he said.
Obama, meanwhile, is standing by his man.
"Joe Biden is also an outstanding public servant and I am very proud of the choice that I made," he told NBC's "Today Show" in an interview that aired Tuesday. He said he's a "great admirer of Senator Clinton's" and he hopes she remains a "close adviser."
And Biden is dutifully living up to his role as attack dog.
"Time and again, on the most critical national security issues of our time, John McCain's judgment has simply been wrong," the Delaware senator said Wednesday in Cincinnati.
BIden has campaigned all over the country for Obama, hitting long-shot states like Montana as well as key battlegrounds like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida and Michigan. He's largely hitting working-class towns, especially in the Midwest.
Though Snopes.com ruled the validity of the dropout rumor was "undetermined," the write-up did cast serious doubt on the idea that Obama would dump the Senate veteran who seemed to fill in Obama's perceived foreign policy gap.
"It's difficult to definitely prove a negative, but rumors of Biden's replacement as a VP candidate seem to be nothing more than e-mail chatter at this point," the site said. "Whatever boost Barack Obama's campaign might conceivably gain by swapping Joe Biden for Hillary Clinton just a month before the general election might also be more than offset by criticism that such a last-minute switch demonstrated poor decision-making ability and was indicative of a weak and vacillating presidential candidate."

Hey, his mysterious asthma got Biden out of going to Vietnam, even though he was a star athlete in high school (according to his own autobiegraphy). Why not use the excuse to get him out of being VP?

Wont happen. If the cat is actually out of the bag and the rumor is true, they cant follow through because it will show that the reason for Biden leaving (health) is false., i.e. Obama made a mistake.

This is old news.
If, and I mean a big IF, Biden backed out, Clinton
would be a fool to step in.
If Obama wins and she's the VP, it would be harder for
her to run for Pres. in 2012.
If McCain wins, she can start her 2012 run in Feb. 09.

The first line of the story is pure bullshit...
"John McCain%u2019s selection of Palin has generated so much interest in the Republican ticket that Obama needs to make a radical move to regain momentum"
Has whoever wrote this junk bothered to even look at how the polls are trending? Not towards McCain, that's for sure.

So I have a page that is /products. I also have a custom post type that would essentially be /products as well. I don't need to access the custom post type via the front end. I will call those posts using some custom queries. However I still can't access my static page.
I tried setting my custom post types rewrite rules to
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => '', 'with_front' => false ),
but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Super good. Good tang without being too strong, I find a lot of sauerkrauts too much for me. I used canned sauerkraut and did not drain it. My dumplings were very dense, but good. Very easy throw in a pan dinner. I served with latkes.

Jeb Bush, Rubio lay low on border crisis – CNN.com
(CNN) — Three Republicans with lofty aspirations nearly had their political careers derailed over risky positions on immigration.
But the crisis on the southern border involving an influx of nearly 60,000 migrant children this year from Central America may help Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Rick Perry repair a broken trust on immigration with conservatives.
Jeb ought to race right down to the border and start sharing the love.
Rubio? Who is Rubio?

Yet despite the lengthy absence from competition, drivers are familiar with the famously fast circuit after having completed two days of collective testing there back in April.
Then, the four sessions produced fastest times by four different drivers: Steijn Schothorst (Josef Kaufmann Racing), Nyck de Vries (Koiranen GP), Pierre Gasly (Tech 1 Racing) and Jake Dennis (Fortec Motorsports).
The first six races of the season have been hard-fought – but so far none of the title favourites has taken a firm grip on the championship. Matthieu Vaxivière (Tech 1 Racing) dominated at Motorland Aragon and Gasly scored the most points at Spa-Francorchamps, while Oliver Rowland (Manor MP Motorsport) was the best performer at Moscow Raceway.
The trio will be out to secure maximum points in Austria. But so too will Esteban Ocon (ART Junior Team), Oscar Tunjo (Josef Kaufmann Racing), Dennis, Luca Ghiotto (Prema Powerteam), Egor Orudzhev (Tech 1 Racing) and Bruno Bonifacio (Prema Powerteam).
Caterham Racing Academy driver Aurelien Panis, meanwhile, recently joined Prema Powerteam and will be hoping to make a positive start.
