We have marked up all the parts of our page, but we haven't done one of the most fun and most interesting things that is unique to web pages, that they link to other places, that there's interactivity. So let's take a look at how to add interactivity to our website by creating links. At the top of the page I have created a simple text navigation bar. It's really easy to use. It's really easy to create. They are used frequently within web pages and often seen at the bottom of the web pages as a way for people navigating to jump around through the website without having to scroll back up to the top.
How did I do this? For each section of your web page, you put a text name, space, then type a pipe. The Pipe key is essentially found below your Delete key on your keyboard. If you hold down your Shift key plus your backward slash key that will create the pipe. So let's go through this just one more time. Here is your section name, pipe key, section name. You can do this all the way across the top of your page or at the bottom of your page and quickly create a text navigation bar. We will style this later on with style shades, but it's familiar to your user, easy to use, easy to understand how it works.
Currently we can tell by just looking at the text navigation bar that it isn't working. We don't see any of the clues that make us think that it is a hypertext link to something else. How do we create that? Select the name Link1 and let's go down to the Property Inspector and at the bottom we will see there is a link followed by a text box. Put your I-beam inside that text box and this must be done exactly as I say. There are no shortcuts, no easy way around this. You need to put the complete URL locater address.
It typically starts with http, Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, and follow it with a colon, not a semi-colon, \\www. firefox.com. Tab out and as soon as you tab out of the box, if you look back up at the top of your document window, you will see that now the physical attributes make you think it's a link.
It's dark blue and it's underlined. Let's see how this looks in code. We will click on our Code button. Go up there. Wherever your anchor tags, which is what a link tag is called, are, they will be in green. They are easy to spot inside of Dreamweaver because of this color-coding. I'm going to select this tag right here. You can see it wraps around the word, but the actual reference to the website that we want to jump to is inside an attribute called href. This stands for Hypertext Reference.
Remember we don't embed things inside the web page; we link to things inside the web page. Now if you saw that you made a mistake or you had typed this incorrectly, for instance, my boss says to me, 'Laurie, I don't want you to use Firefox as an example. They are a proprietary company. Could you use the W3 organization instead?' I can easily change this inside of Code view by simply coming in here, selecting Firefox.com and typing w3 dot, remember dot, not comma, org.
If I click on my Refresh button, that automatically will update that code and now the link will go there. Let's go back to Design view and let's test this link in a browser to see how this works. One of the things that interactivity is the best place to test it is in the browser if you really want to simulate what your user experience is going to be like, you are going to do it in the browser just like the user would be doing it. We will come over to this button that looks like the world and preview it in Firefox. In order to preview a web page in a browser, you need to save your document. So let's go ahead and save. That takes us right out to Firefox, there is our page, looking good. Let's click on that link.
Well that's great, the link works. It jumped us right to the World Wide Web Consortium. However, there is one thing wrong. We jumped right out of our own website. We can't see it, we can't find it. Now of course, we could click on the Go back one page button, but that's not really an intuitive way nor a visual way for our users to go back and forth through pages. They are expecting to stay within a website but to link to many, many places and still be able to go right back to where they are. So let's see if we can fix that inside of Dreamweaver. Let's click on Dreamweaver and let's look at that link. Down at the bottom in our Property Inspector, we can see there is something called Target. Insert your I-beam inside of there and we can make it open in a new window or a new tab by clicking on the _blank selection. Let's save this. Let's see how that affected our code. You have a new attribute called target_blank. Let's go back to Design view and now let's preview that in our browser. Click on that link.
Terrific! Notice it opens up in a new tab. We can tab back to my site, go out to the World Wide Web, close the World Wide Web and still be in the site that I created. This is the user expectation currently. They have gotten very sophisticated about browsing. Users are expecting these kinds of usability features. They don't want to get lost, they don't want to be confused and they don't want to be disoriented. Let's close Firefox, go back into Dreamweaver and let's set up a couple of more links. Let's practice that one more time. Let's double click on Link2, go down to the Link text box at the bottom in the Property Inspector, let's type on http://www.google.com, tab.
As soon as we tab, our I-beam moves over to the target area and we will select link. Let's check that in code to make sure that we have done the right things. Let's find that link right here. I'm going to select the whole link so you can see it. So there is the link, wrapped properly with the anchor tag, the anchor tag takes us to a location and pins to a place. There is my reference to the URL and there is my target to open in a new window or in a new tab. Let's go back to Design view.
Often when we are designing for a website, we don't know where are sections are going to go to. We don't know the names of the pages that we want to link to. So a great way to setup the interactivity and to simulate it, but not know exactly what the names of all these things are going to be, is to use a little piece of JavaScript called the hash mark. Let's double click on Link3, return to our Property Inspector, click on the Link text box, hold down our Shift key and type in 3. That makes the hash mark.
Now Hatch mark is used in JavaScript all over the place and in JavaScript it stands for "by the name of." In this case, we are just using the hash mark to create a placeholder link. It won't go anywhere and we'll test this out in just a moment. Tab out to make that update. Click on Link4, go down to your Link text box, type another hash mark, tab out. Let's click on Link5, click inside of the text box for Link, type another hash mark, tab out. Remember to preview our web page. We need to save it. Let's do Command+Save. But before we preview the dummy links, let's see how they look inside Code.
So we have Link5 selected in our Design view and you can see that we still have our A tag or anchor tag wrapping that. There is our link that the user will see and here is our reference to the hash mark, right here. So it appears just like the URL would. It must be inside these quotation marks, any attribute must be inside quotation marks if you are working with HTML as we are. Let's click back on the Design view. Do one more Command+Save, click on Preview in browser inside of Firefox and let's look at how these links behave inside the browser.
If I hover over Link3 and you look at the Status bar at the bottom of the browser window, you will see that it simply shows the web page that we are in, followed by a hash mark. I can click on it to see that the link works and get the user experience, but I don't jump anywhere. So this is a great tool for designers and developers to prototype something and to test something out, but not worry about knowing all the names because a lot of this work gets done as you are in process working with the client. Each one of the links 3, 4 and 5 work the same way and remember our first two links actually take us out to real locations. Let's close Firefox and click back into Dreamweaver.
There is one link I haven't shown you which is how to link internally to another page within a website. We will eventually get around to that kind of information, but since this is a one page website, it doesn't really make sense to show you how that would work because we have no place to link internally. Let's scroll down to the bottom of the page and there is one more link I want to show you, how to do E-mail links. I have put a little visual prompt, which is put your e-mail in there, Laurie, and I'm going to select my name at Mydesigns.com.
This is the proper way to write an e -mail address. This is just a dummy placeholder for what we are demonstrating in this project. I'm going to select this text, copy it, go down to the link area and paste it. It's still not correct. I must use the correct protocol or addressing. So I'm going to place my I-beam in front of the e-mail address and type mailto followed by a colon. As soon as I type "mailto" followed by a colon, the browser will recognize this as being an e-mail address and not a link to a website or to an internal HTML page.
Go ahead and click tab. In this case it doesn't matter about target because we are not opening up a website inside of a browser. We are going to open up an e-mail mail client hopefully. Let's save this. But before we go, let's check this out in Code. So again, it has the A tag. You are seeing the versatility of the A tag or the anchor tag, but in the href area, inside the quotation marks we now have mailto followed by an e-mail address. Go back to Design view, save your document one more time, preview it in the browser in Firefox, scroll to the bottom. Let's click on this.
Terrific! There we go. Our mail client opened up and we are ready to send an e-mail right out to that address. I'm going to close mail and before we leave the Firefox, I'm going to just want to show you one more thing, because we have clicked on all of these links, notice they have changed colors or changed date. This means we have already visited. This is called a visited link. Let's close Firefox and return back into our document. So in summary, to add interactivity, we have learned that the A tag is what adds hypertext linking. That there are four kinds of links that we can create: links to another website, links to an internal page within our website. We can create a dummy or placeholder link using JavaScript and the hash mark and the fourth we can create a link is by actually doing a mailto e-mail address.
We have learned that the link must be typed absolutely specifically correctly in order to work. So now our pages can really have some zip and fun and go all over the universe and take the full benefits of what it means to create websites on the World Wide Web.

The philosophy of this monograph is best illustrated by direct quotation: "The dangerously sick patient today is not a problem in diagnosis, sepsis, technique, pain. He is a problem in balance, in nutritional decompensation, in endocrine function, in extrarenal loss." This volume deals, then, with the patient's contribution to successful surgery—his biologic response to surgery.
A large mass of carefully collected metabolic balance data on nitrogen, potassium, sodium, and calories is clearly presented in the explanatory texts and numerous charts. The theories of the catabolic response to injury are analyzed briefly, followed by a detailed consideration of the role of starvation, immobilization, and endocrine (adrenal cortex) factors in this response. Interesting control experiments on college students, including general anesthesia and mock operations, are described, and the analogies and differences between the metabolic processes of surgical trauma and the artificial combination of short-term starvation, immobilization, and administration of corticotropin (ACTH) are

Located "a long fly ball" from Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the house where the Bambino was born in 1895 (along with three adjacent rowhouses) has been preserved as a shrine. It serves as a tribute both to baseball's greatest slugger (whose father was a saloonkeeper near what is now center field at Camden Yards) and to the Orioles (for whom the Babe played in 1914, when the team was a minor league franchise).
The museum houses some interesting Babe artifacts: Ruth's boyhood bat, a hymnal bearing the inscription, "George H. Ruth, world's worse singer, world's best pitcher," and the official score book from Babe's first professional game with the 1914 Orioles. There's a frank presentation of the Babe's lousy childhood, bad behavior and unhappy life, a useful warning to any aspiring athlete who thinks that physical accomplishment is all that matters.
The rest of the museum is dedicated to Orioleania, including an exhibit about Cal Ripkin's heroic pursuit of Lou Gehrig's "unassailable" record of playing in 2,131 straight games.

factorial(n) { if (n == 0) return 1; return n * factorial(n - 1); }This definition is not tail-recursive since the recursive call to factorial is not the last thing in the function (its result has to be multiplied by n). But watch this:
factorial1(n, accumulator) { if (n == 0) return accumulator; return factorial1(n - 1, n * accumulator); } factorial(n) { return factorial1(n, 1); }The tail-recursion of factorial1 can be equivalently defined in terms of goto:
factorial1(n, accumulator) { beginning: if (n == 0) return accumulator; else { accumulator *= n; n -= 1; goto beginning; } }From the goto version, we can derive a version that uses C's built-in control structures:
factorial1(n, accumulator) { while (n != 0) { accumulator *= n; n -= 1; } return accumulator; }And Perl
sub factorial { my $arg = shift; $arg == 0 ? 1 : $arg * factorial($arg - 1); }The simple C and Perl examples illustrates a case where the recursive call could be optimized into a goto. As far as we know, neither common Perl nor C implementations do this. Does anyone know better? Conforming SchemeImplementations must do tail-call optimization. -- ScottWalters and others Knowing better: gcc 2.95.3 on an i386 does tail-recursion elimination on the tail-recursive factorial1 function when "-O" is specified on the command line. It does not eliminate the tail-call from factorial to factorial1, but a sufficiently high optimization level will cause factorial1 to get inlined, creating an equivalent effect. --BillTrost Knowing even better: gcc 3.2.1 on an i386 does tail-call elimination with -O2, even across source file boundaries, but only if the function being called takes no more arguments than the calling function. The command-line option to control this is called "-foptimize-sibling-calls" (does anyone understand why?) --BillTrost Knowing only a little bit: functions that take the same word-count of arguments, and return the same word-count of values, are considered "siblings" in the gcc internal lexicon, and this optimization only applies to tail calls between such "sibling" functions. --MikeShaver See: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/wilson/schintro/schintro_127.html for an explanation of how it works in the SchemeLanguage and how it relates to continuations.
(declaim (optimize (debug 0) (safety 0) (speed 3)))will enable the optimization of tail-calls into gotos globally. It also doesn't work in languages that allocate data structures on the stack, or more generally, languages that have things with "dynamic extent".
int g(int *p); int f(void) { int ar[2]; ar[0] = 3; ar[1] = 4; return g(ar); }After the call to g, function f still has to do something, namely popping ar off the stack. Therefore, in this situation the call to g cannot be replaced with a jump. In Scheme, there is never a problem, since everything in Scheme has unlimited extent (even continuations!). What do you mean by unlimited extent? Your example seems to me to be the perfect example of a tail call that could be optimized by a compiler to be tail recursive (if you were calling f from f). The call is in a tail position and everything. The only thing I can see is that there is no recursion in your example. How is it different from the code below?
(define g (lambda (p) (car p))) ; Since scheme doesn't allow me to do prototypes (define f (lambda () (let ((ar (list 3 4))) (g ar))))The only difference seems to be that Scheme supports continuations and C doesn't. But isn't that a compiler issue and not a question of how you pass arguments? Unlimited extent is another name for what most people call GarbageCollection; objects created live forever (unless the system can prove that they cannot be accessed anymore, at which point they can be destroyed by the garbage collector). The difference between the CeeLanguage code and SchemeLanguage code cited here is that the array in the CeeLanguage example has limited extent; it is destroyed when f() ends. The normal way a compiler implements this is with a stack, with g()'s stack pushed on top of f()'s. The central idea of TailCallOptimization is that (instead of keeping f() alive during the call to g()) we end all of f()'s processing and "hand off to" (GoTo) g(). However, that would entail destroying the array, so g() will be accessing invalid storage. In the SchemeLanguage example, the array (really a list there) has unlimited extent, so it lives until g is done with it. But, if f() does not pass to g() any of its own stack-allocated variables, it can pop them before calling g(). [It seems to me that this CeeLanguage discussion is indeed about implementation only, not about absolutes. For starters, it is incorrect to claim that functions must always clean up the stack before they return, implying a series of pops. Typically the frame pointer saved on the stack is restored to the stack pointer, automatically cleaning up an indefinite amount of crud. Further, if (due to TailCallOptimization) one or more functions failed to do that, nonetheless a parent function eventually would restore the old stack pointer, cleaning up after all descendents. Further furthermore, the TailCallOptimization could do even better than this, and have versions of tail-called functions do the right thing with restoring the stack pointer themselves. That may be unclear as text but it's pretty obvious when you start thinking about saving and restoring frame/stack pointers.]

4. How is a gastrointestinal obstruction treated?Treatment of an obstruction can be either surgical or medical. Which option is best for your ferret depends on what was ingested, where the obstruction is located and your ferret's condition.
In my experience, surgery is usually the best option. An exploratory surgery is done to look at the stomach and intestinal tract. At this time, the veterinarian looks at the other abdominal organs for any other problems in addition to the obstruction. These organs include the adrenal glands, pancreas, liver, spleen and kidneys.
Most foreign bodies and hairballs can be easily removed from the stomach. After the surgery, most ferrets are treated with an appropriate antibiotic like amoxicillin (Amoxi drops or Clavamox drops); an antacid like Pepcid AC; Carafate to coat the stomach before feeding the ferret; and a soft food like baby food, Hill's a/d or Carnivore Care for roughly seven days to help the stomach to heal. Your veterinarian will advise you on the best treatment for your ferret.
Obstructions in the intestinal tract can be more difficult to repair. With a full obstruction in the small intestines, the intestinal tract can become so damaged and necrotic that a section of it must be removed along with the object that caused the obstruction. This is called a resection (removing part of the intestinal tract) and anastomosis (attaching the two ends back together). Treatment after the surgery often includes a broad-spectrum antibiotic like amoxicillin (Amoxi drops or Clavamox drops), enrofloxacin (Baytril) or marbofloxacin (Zeniquin) along with a soft food. Again, your veterinarian will advise you on the best treatment for your ferret.
Medical treatment can be used in cases with a partial obstruction, provided that the ferret is still in good shape. If the ingested foreign body is small enough to pass out in the poop (i.e. an eraser from a pencil, a very small piece of fabric like the eyes from a stuffed toy), then either a high-fiber product like canned pumpkin or a laxative like most cat and ferret hairball products (Ferret Lax, Laxatone for ferrets, etc.) can be used to help the ferret pass the object out in its feces. This treatment should only be tried if your veterinarian recommends it. Using this method, the ferret must be closely supervised to insure it doesn't take a turn for the worse. If the ferret does not pass the object with the help of fiber or a pet laxative, then surgical removal is required.
5. Can gastrointestinal obstruction be prevented?Most obstructions can be prevented by restricting access to any indigestible object. This usually means ferret-proofing the room before the ferret comes out of its cage and very closely supervising a young ferret that is out for playtime. Hairballs may be prevented during the shedding season (spring and fall) by frequent brushing, weekly bathing and daily use of a pet laxative during the shedding season.
Similarly, ferrets with itchy skin and hair loss from adrenal gland disease would also benefit from frequent brushing, weekly bathing and daily use of a pet laxative to prevent hairballs. Ferrets that groom their cagemates can also be treated with a pet laxative, and the cagemates can be frequently brushed and bathed to decrease hair ingestion.
Gastrointestinal blockages are common in ferrets. Fortunately these blockages can be treated, and, in most cases, the ferret has a complete recovery. Be aware that intestinal obstructions must be treated quickly to limit the damage to the intestinal tract.
Preventing an obstruction is far better than treating an obstruction, so double-check your ferret's room for any object that could be ingested, and brush, bathe and offer a pet laxative to your ferret during the shedding seasons.
Dr. Jerry Murray practices at the Animal Clinic of Farmers Branch in Dallas. He currently has one senior ferret (Bam-Bam) and one hyperactive Rottie (Katrina).

CLIFTON, Colo -
Shanna Gossett and her family were excited about moving into their new home but that excitement quickly turned to frustration.
"We went to turn on the water and the water company told us that they were unable to turn on the water because of a delinquent account," Gossett said.
The house was a recent foreclosure taken over by Platinum Properties.
"There was a past due water bill that you need to get paid before that water could be restored, which is typical for foreclosed property," Rachel Justman with Platinum Properties said.
The problem kept Gossett's family out of their new home for nearly two weeks.
"We were ready to go home and our children were ready to go home," Gossett said. "We have a nine-year-old and a two-year-old that just kept asking us, can we go home."
Platinum Properties says it took care of the problem as quickly as it could.
"It has been restored," Justman said. "I believe that was as of one o'clock yesterday afternoon."
But Gossett feels she can't trust Platinum Properties anymore.
She got an eviction notice on her door for refusing to pay for the days there was no water, even though the company said she didn't have to.
"We were unable to actually live in the house and we actually wrote them a letter asking them to wave that," Gossett said.
"I understand the concern, of course, but they have nothing to worry about," Justman said. "There's no reason why they would have to pay for a property that they were unable to live in."
Platinum Properties says it can usually solve these types of disputes without police or legal involvement.
But Gossett says she's fed up, and even called police at one point in hopes of speeding up the process.

Update: Belinelli confirmed he will participate in the NBA's All-Star 3-point shoout.
He told La Gazzetta dello Sport, via Sportando, "I am happy because it is very important to me, my fans and Italy. It is going to be a step forward in my career. I go to New Orleans to win."
This is Belinelli's first 3-point shootout. He is the second Italian to participate — Danilo Gallinari is the other.
San Antonio Spurs' Marco Belinelli leads the NBA in 3-point percentage — he's made 70 of 145 3-pointers (48.3 percent), and only 40 of his attempts are from the corners, the most efficient spot to take a 3-pointer.
It's almost as if Belinelli's efficiency rises the farther he's away from the basket.
The NBA will likely award Belinelli's sharp shooting with a spot in the All-Star 3-point shootout according to Eric Pincus. Stephen Curry, Kevin Love, Kyle Korver and defending champion Kyrie Irving are reportedly joining Belinelli.
"The pool for the three-point shootout has yet to be named but the early list, subject to change, includes Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Kevin Love (Minnesota Timberwolves) and Marco Belinelli (San Antonio Spurs) representing the West."
Belinelli's previous career-high was 41.4 percent, nearly eight percentage points lower than this year.
Belinelli was an above-average 3-point shooter heading into the season — would the Spurs have signed him otherwise? — but he's turned into a NBA 2K player shooting on rookie mode.
So, what gives?
Playing with Manu Ginobili helps. Ginobili has assisted on 34 of Belinelli's 186 field goals and the Spurs have scored 118 points per 100 possessions when the "Super Sub Bros" share the floor — a whopping eight points better than Portland's top-ranked offense.
Belinelli also can function as a secondary scorer. Gregg Popovich inserted Belinelli in the rotation for that very reason — to leverage his skills against the opposing defense. A safety valve for Tony Parker, if anything. He is much better than Green at, well, dribbling and creating points off the dribble. Defenses can't simply contain Parker and live with whatever Green creates (probably a turnover). Belinelli packs a much-needed off the bounce punch.
You know, like a spicy meatball.

on January 27, 2013 - 12:17 AM
Buffalo Bandits' games have become so exciting lately that even their coach can't bear to view the finish.
"I've gotten into the habit of not watching the last seconds of a game," Darris Kilgour said. "The last couple of years, it seemed like every time we had to stop someone, we didn't. It wasn't working. I switched it up this year. I walk away and Teeter [assistant coach Dan Teat] tells me what happened."
Teat delivered good news for the second straight week, as the Bandits won yet another lacrosse thriller in the final minute. Luke Wiles' goal with 23.6 seconds left lifted Buffalo to a 14-13 win over Philadelphia before 13,808 in the First Niagara Center on Saturday night.
The victory came only a week after Tracey Kelusky's goal with 11.8 seconds left gave Buffalo a one-goal win in Rochester. Shawn Williams says easy wins are tough to come by.
"Are they ever?" he asked. "This is a little hard on the heart, but I like being on this side of the outcome."
Even Wiles was a little surprised to be this night's hero. The team's leading goal-scorer only had two goals this season as Saturday's game wound down.
"I can't believe they even put me out there, the way I've been shooting," Wiles said. "Johnny Tavares dragged it and Dhane Smith cut up the middle. Their guy creeped up a bit to leave me open. I just shot as hard as I could.
"It makes me feel good. I've been struggling. I've had trouble getting my green card so it's been a struggle to get to practice [in Ontario]. It's nice to get this goal and get the monkey off the back."
There was one bit of drama left. The Wings had possession in the final seconds, and pulled their goaltender for a six-on-five advantage. Kevin Ross had a good chance with about four seconds left, but Buffalo goalie Anthony Cosmo made the last save of the night to preserve the victory.
"I had all the confidence in the world in them," Kilgour said about his team. "There's no panic. They've been coming through."
It seemed likely that once again a Bandits' game would come down to the last goal and the last shot of the night. The league has been filled with one-goal games so far this season, and Buffalo has won three straight games of that description.
"Teams never go away," said Bandits' forward Mike Hominuck, who had three goals for the second straight game. "All of the games are so tight, you can't let up for one shift."
This was a game in which the two sides traded runs. Buffalo scored three goals in the first three minutes and 16 seconds to take a 3-1 lead. By the time it scored again, more than 15 minutes had elapsed and Buffalo was down, 5-4. The Bandits had an 8-6 lead entering the final minute of the half, but gave up two goals to fall into a tie.
In the second half, Buffalo dominated the third quarter to take a 12-9 lead at one point, only to see Philadelphia score three straight goals to knot the score again. Tavares scored with 4:09 left to put Buffalo up a goal, and as the clock wound down it appeared that the Bandits would get away with a win relatively easily, at least as compared to last week.
But Drew Westervelt scored his third of the night, this time while the Wings were short-handed with 43 seconds left, to tie the game.
"That's the trend this year – peaks and valleys," Philadelphia coach Johnny Mouradian said. "They played well, but we were resilient."
That set up the final seconds and the heroics of Wiles and Cosmo.
The offensive performance was particularly impressive on this night. The Wings hadn't given up more than eight goals in any of its games this season, and goalie Brandon Miller had been sharp. But the Bandits went flying past that number just after halftime. Williams had six assists, all in the first half. Smith, Chad Culp and Dave Brock had two goals each.
The Bandits have been getting offense from all sorts of sources lately, which makes them tough to defend.
"They've all been getting playing time," Kilgour said. "We've been running eight out the front door, which means only one guy has been double-shifting."
"As you get older and smarter, you just play lacrosse," Williams added. "You can't overthink things."
The result had all sorts of effects on the standings in the East Division. Toronto jumped into first place with a 4-1 record because of its win in Rochester. The Bandits are a half-game back at 3-1, and Philadelphia lost its first of the season to fall to 2-1. Rochester, merely the league's defending champion, is now 0-3.
Saturday's game marked the start of a three-game homestand against divisional rivals. It's a good time for the Bandits to make a statement about where they rank in the four-team grouping.
"We talked about that before the game," Kilgour said. "We want our home record to be 7-1 or 6-2, and we want to be 4-4 on the road. We haven't been able to do that lately."
Buffalo hosts Toronto on Saturday at First Niagara Center.

The fear of a cyber-attack on the American election system seemed close to being realized Monday with a dire warning from FBI. "There's late word tonight that the FBI is warning state election officials to pay more attention to the security of their voting systems in response to recent hacking attacks that are just now coming to light," reported fill-in anchor Savannah Guthrie on NBC Nightly News. NBC was the only network to share the FBI's warning, while ABC and CBS failed to mention it at all.

The news broke Monday that ObamaCare has again missed enrollment forecasts from the Congressional Budget Office, resulting in grossly limited options and high prices for consumers. "Enrollment is simply nowhere near what the congressional budget office thought it would be," reported Fox News correspondent Kevin Corke, "Now what that means is higher costs for those of you who that take part, and for the insurers, it means they're losing money." Even with that dire fact the "Big Three" news networks chose to cover for the Obama administration.

Hill also played up how the anthem was written before the abolition of slavery, and derided criticism of Kaepernick as "another example of white people defining for black people what's most important."

Mark Thompson, chief executive of the New York Times, has written a highly padded opinion piece that boils down to one important thing he wants to get across to you rubes: Trump = Hitler. Oh yeah, he includes one very slight caveat so you don't think of him as your usual leftwing loon. The rest of his piece is mostly yawn inducing padding which serves as filler for his basic premise.
So let us get to Thompson's unintentional humor as he stresses that Trump is like Hitler because, get this, they both spoke off the cuff. I kid you not.

NYT's Krugman on Racist, Misogynist GOP 'Cruel to the Unfortunate' by Depriving Them of Abortions, ObamacareBy Clay Waters | | August 29, 2016 | 3:48 PM EDT
New York Times economist-turned-liberal-hack-columnist Paul Krugman has a habit of accusing his political opponents not of being misguided, flat wrong, or even dumb, but actively wicked. Cruel rule is what Krugman thinks is going on in the red states of Texas and Kansas, as their limited-government approaches make them "States of Cruelty." The text box: "Some ugly politics is local." Krugman also spouted that it's cruel to women to be pro-life, no matter how many baby girls might be saved, because he has made an unsubstantiated link between deaths of pregnant women in Texas and defunding Planned Parenthood abortion clinics

When Target Stores reported results for its second-quarter, which ended on July 31, on August 17, the Associated Press's Anne D'Innocenzio told readers that "Sales at stores open at least a year fell 1.1 percent, reversing seven straight quarters of gains," and that "Customer traffic fell for the first time in a year and a half."
What could have caused such a stark reversal, especially in light of the fact that the next day, larger archrival Wal-Mart reported, as seen in the Wall Street Journal, that "sales at established stores (were) up for the eighth consecutive quarter and more shoppers visiting for the seventh period (i.e., quarter) in a row"? The AP's D'Innocenzio dutifully relayed a statement from Target's chief financial officer in Paragraph 17 of her 19-paragraph report that "the impact of the bathroom issue has 'really not been material.'"

The series of turbulent storms left a path of death and destruction.
At least 116 people in the southwest Missouri town of Joplin are dead after a massive tornado blasted a 6 mile path across the city.
Officials warned Monday that the death toll could climb much higher as crews search through rubble.
"We're still doing search and rescue, literally going from house to house along that six mile strip, so we don't know yet," said Joplin County Emergency Management Director Keith Stammer.
In an amateur video of the storm, the funnel cloud can be seen as it touches down.
Much of the city's south side was leveled. Chuches, schools, businesses and homes are now reduced to ruins.
CBN News spoke with Joplin, Mo., resident Rhonda Justice-Neal about the tornado damage and how residents are coping. Watch more below.
St. John's Medical Center took one of the hardest hits. The twister tore off its top two floors and blew out hundreds of windows, forcing the evacuation of 200 patients.
"It was total chaos," one witness recalled. "The nurses (were) yelling, 'Get away from the windows!' And the doors started rattling in the emergency room."
Meanwhile, hundreds were trapped inside the local Walmart as it collapsed.
In Reading, Kan., the Miracle Café was battered, but still standing.
"We'll get it cleaned up. We'll get it back," said owner Reta Jackson. "If the building's gone than I'll rebuild."
In Minneapolis, victims are telling harrowing stories of survival after a cyclone killed one and injured 30.
Krista Burkhalter's husband was trapped inside his house, and barely escaped as the roof and walls came crumbling down around him.
"He tried to get down to the basement, and it threw him back," Burkhalter said. "He broke a window out the back. The only part that's still standing... is about a 3 foot area left in the house. And he broke a window and climbed out the back window."
Gwen Onumah-Oniloro's house was also destroyed. She was at church when the storm hit -- a decision that she credits with saving her and her family's life.
"I'm extremely blessed I didn't have my grandkids in here," she said. "We sleep right back there, and it would have caved in on us."
President Barack Obama offered his condolences to the victims as Federal Emergency Management Agency works to respond to devastation across the region.

From the Official www.TomCruise.com Blog:
Film has the amazing power to influence all of our emotions. From the thrill of an action-packed adventure movie, to the tears that run down your face during a drama, to the laughter that fills a room during a comedy, movies have all affected us. For some, film is more than just an evening with moving images and a bucket of popcorn. It's something that changes the way we view the world, our culture, and ourselves. Can you believe that moving images on a big screen can move people so strongly? I can believe it!
When we asked our Twitter friends at the Official TomCruise.com Twitter Channel (@tomcruise) -"has there been a movie that changed your life?", the response was massive and there was an outflow of emotion and sentiment. We read through more than 12 pages of responses on Twitter Search! Apparently, we're not the only ones who think that great movies change people, and change lives. It was amazing that your overwhelming responses fit in just 140 characters! Love was definitely in the air, with some Tweeple reminiscing about 'Casablanca', 'The Notebook', 'P.S. I Love You', and 'Jerry Maguire' as films that changed their perspective on true love. There was also some strong feelings about 'Schindler's List', 'Freedom Writer' and 'Dangerous Minds', films that were about history, passion, and change. 'Schindler's List' made @yankeegirl51680 realize that "just one person can make a huge difference in someone's life." 'Freedom Writer' does not only inspire, but instigates positive action as well, it "makes you want to help other people out," @blah2daworld22 muses.
The responses were definitely colorful and covered many emotions and themes. 'Rocky IV' teaches about the "power of the mind", 'Lord of the Rings' inspires people to think that "anybody can change things for the better," and 'The Power of One' gives lessons about "courage over adversity." People also tweeted about the importance of family. "Big Daddy made me see how my dad is important in my life," says @karolenpassos.
Here's a sharable stream from Twitter with many of the inspiring tweets…
Or, check the actual Twitter results here.
Tom Cruise fans also submitted their vote for Tom movies like 'Jerry Maguire', 'Top Gun', 'A Few Good Men', 'Vanilla Sky' and 'Valkyrie'. Movies not only inspire love, but mark life stages such as adolescence and even influence life decisions. 'Jerry Maguire' changed someone's view on love, 'Top Gun', marked a childhood milestone, 'A Few Good Men' influenced someone to go to law school, 'Vanilla Sky' made someone "appreciate life so much more" and 'Valkyrie' was described as a "true epic."
Movies certainly play a big role in people's lives, whether you work in the movie industry, are a film buff, or a regular moviegoer. Great movies are a reason to celebrate a full life, true love, intense passion, pivotal times in history, milestones in life, and family bonds, to mention a few.

Punch Brothers
Punch Brothers are the New York City-based quintet of mandolinist Chris Thile, guitarist Chris Eldridge, bassist Paul Kowert, banjoist Noam Pikelny and violinist Gabe Witcher. Their new album Who's Feeling Young Now?, produced and engineered by Jacquire King, contains some of the most exhilaratingly direct, sonically daring performances the group has ever recorded. Already, Vanity Fair has hailed the album as "their most expressive work yet as an ensemble — sophisticated, pop-y, kinetic and profound, all at once." The New Yorker calls it "a mystical alchemy of old-time music and contemporary sensibilities" As the five members, ranging in age from their mid-20′s to mid-30′s, have matured together on the road and in the studio, their approach to writing and performing has, conversely, become looser, simpler, and, in a sense, more unaffectedly youthful. In fact, the title song on the new disc—featuring rumbling bass, skittering violin, and wailing multi-tracked vocals—sounds like hard-charging string-band punk rock.
The group, as virtuosic as it is freewheeling, evolved out of a 2007 collaboration on Thile's string-band suite, The Blind Leading the Blind, which premiered at Carnegie Hall in a series curated by composer John Adams. Its debut disc for Nonesuch Records, Punch, was released in 2008, followed by the Jon Brion-produced Antifogmatic (2010). The five members each have impressive resumes within the progressive string-band scene and are regularly sought-after as guest stars and session players. Punch Brothers are currently featured on the soundtrack to The Hunger Games and the Chieftains' 50th Anniversary disc, Voice Of Ages. As guitarist Eldridge notes, "Every little side project we've done has helped us come back to Punch Brothers with new ideas and new energy and a new sense of confidence, a righteous need to create stuff."
Anais Mitchell
In case you haven't met her, Anaïs Mitchell is not a man. She's a woman, quick to laugh and to cry, a fan of Jane Austen and miniskirts. She came of age reading the diaries of Anaïs Nin and blasting early Ani Difranco records. So it may catch a few listeners off-guard when Mitchell cries out, in the opening sequence of her latest album, "I'm a young man!" And it may come as a surprise when, over the course of eleven songs, she seems to be channeling spirits from the Old Testament to modern America—but mostly, well, from the Y chromosome.
Who is the Young Man in America? The hero of the title track, who Mitchell says "shows up in a few songs," is a restless character on a feverish hunt for pleasure and success. Alcohol, fame, money, sex—nothing satisfies him."I think of him as mythological, a Coyote figure," says Mitchell, "but there's a lot of men I know in him. He's very desirous and very sad." The America he inhabits is an every-man-for-himself frontier country, a place Mitchell caught a glimpse of during the recent recession: "I was watching the news, a family getting evicted from their home, all their furniture out in the street. And this word came into my head: 'Wilderland'. This is a wild place. There's not a lot of trust that you will be taken care of."
But there are other voices on the album. "My dad is one of them," says Mitchell. "From him I get my earliest understanding of what it means to be a man. Also my love of language, and my anxiety." Her father is a writer, and her song 'Shepherd' is based on the first chapter of a novel he published in the late seventies, The Souls of Lambs. It's the story of a modern-day farmer whose wife dies in childbirth as an indirect result of his preoccupation with his work. "He was a young man, about the age I am now, when he wrote it," she says. "Some of what he was wrestling with in that story—work, family, the feeling of racing the clock, the question of what's really important—I wrestle with myself now." What's it like to pick up on a theme her father introduced three decades ago? "Like having a conversation with my dad," she says, "except that we're both thirty years old."
Taking on voices other than her own is not exactly new for Mitchell. In 2010 Righteous Babe Records released the recorded version of her folk opera Hadestown, a modern retelling of the Orpheus myth, featuring guest singers Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Ani Difranco and Greg Brown. The album became something of a critical phenomenon in the UK, making "Best of 2010″ lists in The Guardian, Sunday Times and Observer, thanks in part to the skillful production of Todd Sickafoose, who also produced and arranged Young Man. There's a vast, lush quality to Sickafoose's imagination that seems to capture the spirit of the underworld and the lonesome valley. "As a producer, he's a storyteller in his own right," says Mitchell. "He's very operatic."
Young Man is not an opera, but it is a story: a sprawling tale with multiple protagonists. And while Mitchell delivers the lead vocals herself this time around, she's joined by a tribe of musicians that make the album feel like a collective ritual. Sickafoose assembled some of Brooklyn's most sought-after rock and experimental jazz players: guitarist Adam Levy and violinist Jenny Scheinman, to name a couple. Chris Thile shows up on mandolin as well as alongside songwriters Jefferson Hamer and Rachel Ries in a harmonic chorus. Michael Chorney, the man behind Hadestown's remarkable score and the producer of Mitchell's two previous albums (2007′s The Brightness and 2004′s Hymns for the Exiled) makes a guest appearance on guitar. And in a departure from those early recordings, Young Man features not one but two stick-wielding drummer/percussionists—Andrew Borger and Kenny Wollesen—that give the album some of its swagger.
If there's a common thread in Mitchell's work—from her earliest ballads, to the opera, to this new chapter—it's that she's as interested in the world around her as the one inside her. She has a way of tackling big themes with the same emotional intimacy most artists use to describe their inner lives. "That's why," as one journalist put it, "there's a sexual ambiguity about her work and why, even in her most intimate moments, she never sounds like a confessional songwriter." It doesn't matter whether the stories she tells are her own or someone else's. "The emotions are my own," says Mitchell. "As for the Young Man, he's in me too, I feel his restlessness a lot. He's a part of me like my dad's old book or like something an old lover said one time. Those parts of ourselves that haunt us, sometimes we have to appease them with an offering of food and wine so they'll quit haunting us for a while. This album is that kind of offering."

Chameleon, a Santana cover band, will perform from 5 to 8 p.m. Sunday at the Old 5Mile House.
The group was formed in 2009 by lead guitarist Jim Thornton. Critical to its success was the development of the signature Santana lead guitar sound, memorable lead and group vocals, dynamic organ and keyboards, and — driving it all — the rhythm and percussion sections playing the complex and sensual Latin and African-based rhythms at the heart of Santana's music.
There is no cover charge and all ages are welcome. Reservations are encouraged.

Hyderabad: The World No. 117 and 16 year-old Goh Jin Wei of Malaysia is only 1.58m in height, but she can certainly stand tall. Playing against a much taller and much experienced player World No. 11 Sun Yu from China with the height of 1.83m, the little Malaysian girl with big heart was charging up with energy attacks and pulling off one of the shocks of the tournament by beating Sun Yu 21-13, 21-16 in 42 minutes, scoring the only point won by Malaysia in the final Group A tie against China at the Badminton Asian Team Championships (BATC) in Hyderabad, India on Thursday.
Hyderabad: Malaysia women's team capped off a stellar debut at the Badminton Asia Team Championships (BATC) on Tuesday as they marched on to a 3-2 victory over Hong Kong.
Kuala Lumpur: After suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) on her left knee in the first round of Thailand Masters in Bangkok last Tuesday, the 2015 Singapore SEA Games women's doubles gold medalist Soong Fie Cho's campaign to reach the 2016 Olympics could be in jeopardy.
PASIR GUDANG: Shuttlers Lim Khim Wah and Goh V Shem are the only survivors for Malaysia in the Malaysian Open Grand Prix Gold tournament after Chong Wei Feng's walkover to Sourabh from India, and Lim Yin Loo-Lee Meng Yean's loss of 17-21, 17-21 to China's juniors Ou Dongni-Xiong Mengjing in the semi-finals.
Lim Khim Wah-Goh V Shem's opponents in the final will be another top form pair from Singapore - Danny Bawa Chrisnanta-Chayut Triyachart.
The duo will have to play better and harder in the final in order to pull off the champion feat.
PASIR GUDANG: Lee Meng Yean-Lim Yin Loo are fourth-ranked women's doubles for Malaysia. No one expected them to go too far in the Malaysia Open GP, but they've demonstrated their fighting spirit yesterday by defeating third seeds Shinta Mulia Sari-Yao Lei (world No. 20) of Singapore 21-17, 22-20 to reach the semi-finals of the Malaysia Open Grand Prix Gold at the Pasir Gudang Municipal Stadium.
This performance could further strengthen their bid for a place in the Uber Cup Finals squad. They will play against they will take on Ou Dongni-Xiong Mengjing of China in the semi-finals.

Asking questions. Voicing what you are really thinking about now. Being more/less critical than usual. Looking for the nice things. Looking for issues.
We, a group of people (mostly students from the Creative Sustainability Master programme from Aalto University) are having a kick-off event for the "Whose* Issues -project"
A container located in Lasipalatsin aukio, will be our point of departure. Our plan is to involve the people of Helsinki in the analysis (avoiding the paralysis) of our surroundings and start working together for our well-being.
We welcome everyone to participate in the kick-off and find out what this all is about!

Today is Wednesday, July 25, the 207th day of 2012. There are 159 days left in the year.
On this date in the SCV: In 1958, the U.S. Army named Newhall a prime military target in advent of a nuclear war because of its miles of criss-crossing electric wires, oil, gas and water pipes.
Today's Highlight in History: On July 25, 1972, the notorious Tuskegee syphilis experiment came to light as The Associated Press reported that for the previous four decades, the U.S. Public Health Service, in conjunction with the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, had been allowing poor, rural black male patients with syphilis to go without treatment, even allowing them to die, as a way of studying the disease.
Ten years ago: Encouraged by a tapping sound coming up from the depths, rescuers in Somerset, Pa., brought in a huge drill in a race to save nine coal miners trapped 240 feet underground by a flooded shaft. Zacarias Moussaoui declared he was guilty of conspiracy in the Sept. 11 attacks, then dramatically withdrew his plea at his arraignment in Alexandria, Va.
Five years ago: A presidential commission urged broad changes to veterans' care that would boost benefits for family members helping the wounded, establish an easy-to-use website for medical records and overhaul the way disability pay was awarded. The bullet-riddled body of one of 23 South Koreans held hostage in Afghanistan by Taliban kidnappers was found; eight other captives were released. Pratibha Patil was sworn in as India's first female president.
One year ago: In a prime-time address to the nation, President Barack Obama made a last-ditch call for compromise on raising the government's borrowing ability before an Aug. 2 deadline; in a rebuttal, House Speaker John Boehner said negotiations with the White House had been futile. The NFL Players Association executive board and 32 team representatives voted unanimously to approve the terms of a deal to end a four-and-a-half-month lockout.
Today's birthdays: Actress Barbara Harris is 77. Rock musician Jim McCarty (The Yardbirds) is 69. Rock musician Verdine White (Earth, Wind & Fire) is 61. Singer-musician Jem Finer (The Pogues) is 57.
