See LargeScaleCppSoftwareDesign for a related discussion. --DirckBlaskey I see include guards as a way of reducing coupling. If a .h file must see the definition in another, then there are 2 possibilities: either you require the user of the .h to include the dependencies, or you need to have the .h file include another. There are good arguments for each but, in general, I favour not forcing the user of a class to know its dependencies. This limits the scope of changes because it reducing the coupling. --DaveWhipp All C and C++ standards committees have to do is agree on a proper module system for these languages.

X* f() { return new X; } Y* g() { return new Y; } try { do_something(f(), g()); }This code can be exception safe. However, if you replace f() and g() with equivalant macros, then it cannot. This is because the C++ standard explicitly does not require naked "new" operations to completely create one object before starting on the next. So, in the macro-based implementation, the compiler is free to allocate memory for both X and Y before calling either of the constructors. If the first of the constructors (we don't know which will be first) throws an exception, then the memory for the other might not be reclaimed. When the "new" operations are encapsulated in functions, this optimization is not permitted. (Which means that even inline functions might be slower than macros).

NEW?PARIS - Chestnut Ridge's Jennifer Carthew was nervous facing Bedford for the third time this season.
But then the Lady Lions' bats came alive, and Carthew's nerves clearly went away as she threw a one-hitter to launch No. 1 seed Chestnut Ridge into the District 5 Class AA championship game after a 12-0 win over No. 4 seed Bedford in 4 innings.
"It was a little nerve-racking," the sophomore said. "Because you are thinking, 'they've seen me before. They are going to hit me better.' Once you go out there, you've got to think with a 'they're-not-going-to-hit-me' attitude, and shut them down."
Shut them down, she did, striking out five and allowing one hit to Bedford pitcher Ashley Rose in the fifth inning with no outs.
"She has pitched every game against Bedford," Ridge coach Chuck Corle said. "This is her third time they saw her. She shut them down pretty good all three games. We were confident in that."
Offensively, the Lady Lions had an offensive explosion in the first inning, batting around the order and scoring six runs on six hits. All of the hits came with no outs.
Rose was able to get out of the inning with three consecutive strikeouts to get out of the inning.
However, Ridge's bats couldn't be held at bay, scoring runs in every inning the Lady Lions batted.
Stephanie Deaner and Kenzie Bowser both went 3-for-3, each knocking in two runs and each scoring two runs. Mackenzie Feather added two hits, a run and knocked in another as well. Josie Neatrour went 2-for-3 with a run and two RBIs.
"It made me relax a lot more," Carthew said. "Because I'm like 'we are hitting the ball.' It allows me to relax a little bit more, and let my pitches do the work."
Bedford, a young team according to coach Rick Leonard, struggled to muster any kind of offense.
"[Carthew] definitely takes control of the mound at times," Leonard said. "She's not an overpowering pitcher, but she's smart. We weren't real aggressive in the batter's box. We've got to be a little bit more aggressive, more relaxed in there."
The Lady Lions will take on second-seeded Everett next Wednesday for a shot at another title in the District 5 Class AA final.
"We know it's going to be a tough game," Carthew said. "I just hope we do what we've done in the past, and come out on top."

Drastic measures needed to reduce drunken driving
According to a May 15 News article, the National Transportation Safety Board proposed lowering the drunken driving threshold. I have a better idea. I am extremely concerned with a group of irresponsible motorists, commonly known as drunken drivers. They have no regard for other people, and apparently are unable to comprehend a basic rule of operating a motor vehicle: Do not drink and drive!
I believe the current vehicle and traffic laws are antiquated and ineffective, and should be amended. For example, the Parking Enforcement Bureau has a wheel-locking device that can be installed on a motor vehicle to prevent that vehicle from moving. This device, also referred to as a "boot," is installed after the owner of the vehicle has not paid his outstanding fines. I think it would be an effective deterrent for those charged with driving while intoxicated to have their vehicle "booted," seized and impounded until the charges are resolved in a court of law. That will get their attention.
The Drug Enforcement Agency and U.S. Customs have the power to seize anything related to criminal behavior, and driving while intoxicated is criminal behavior. Suspending a driver's license is not effective.
The tragic part of the problem is the victims who are destroyed. They may have been skateboarding or riding their bicycles when suddenly their life is over.
Therefore, I would like the laws to be amended so that all drunken drivers are severely punished. In my opinion, they get away with murder. Their unacceptable behavior must be prevented using drastic measures that are extreme and effective.

LAURENT Duvernay-Tardif almost didn't get to hear his name announced on ESPN when he was selected in the sixth round by the Chiefs.
The reason? He was helping deliver twins via C-section.
Duvernay-Tardif, you see, is a medical student at McGill University in Montreal, which has had just one other player drafted by the NFL - Randy Chevrier, a long snapper taken by the Jaguars in 2001.
"I think when you play football, you have to play 100 percent," Duvernay-Tardif, a tackle, told the Associated Press. "When I went to the [East-West] Shrine game, I said, 'Let's compete until you hear the whistle,' and that's what I'm going to do at training camp. And hopefully I'm going to be able to compete for a spot."

WACO — Robert Griffin III played football for years simply because he was good at it.
Then Baylor's exciting dual-threat quarterback tore the ACL in his right knee and missed the last nine games of the 2009 season. While stuck on the sideline watching, he realized just how much he loved the game.
"After a knee injury like that, a lot of times you see guys come back and it's not the same," Griffin said. "So I didn't want that to be attached to me, great player, got hurt, never was the same. ... My goal was to come back better, not only for myself, but for my teammates."
Goal accomplished for Griffin, who exceled while raising Baylor out of the Big 12 basement.
Already the winner of the Heisman Trophy and Davey O'Brien Award, Griffin won AP Player of the Year on Wednesday.
The aspiring lawyer, who arrived at Baylor nearly four years ago as a 17-year-old after graduating high school early, is the nation's most efficient passer this season, throwing for 3,998 yards with a Big 12-leading 36 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also ran for 644 yards and nine more scores.
Baylor (9-3) has a five-game winning streak, its longest in 20 years, going into the Alamo Bowl next week.
With a win over Washington, the 15th-ranked Bears would match the school record of 10 wins set during Mike Singletary's senior season in 1980.
In his comeback from injury last year, after getting a medical redshirt that means he's now a fourth-year junior, Griffin helped lead the Bears to their first Top 25 ranking since 1993 and their first bowl game in the Big 12 era. Baylor hadn't even had a winning season in the first 14 Big 12 seasons.
That year on the sideline was the toughest for Griffin and the Bears, who went from big expectations to another losing record without their star quarterback.
"You miss out making plays and doing great things," Griffin said. "I missed playing, I missed practicing, but you really just miss your teammates."
By time Griffin played his first game for the Bears in 2008, when at 18 he was the nation's youngest FBS starting quarterback, he was already a Big 12 champion and NCAA All-American in the 400-meter hurdles. He set an FBS record by throwing 209 passes to start his career before his first interception.
Griffin passed for 2,091 yards and 15 TDs with 843 yards and 13 more scores rushing as a freshman. But then he got hurt on the opening series of the third game of his sophomore season. He finished the first half of that game against Northwestern State on a gimpy leg, throwing for 226 yards and three touchdowns to push the Bears ahead 41-10.
He didn't take another snap that season.
"When you don't have something and it's taken away from you, then all of a sudden you appreciate it more," coach Art Briles said. "Everything had come real fast for him, from seventh grade on up, so what it did, it let him slow down. It let him appreciate the game and understand the game, get a different feel for the game, from a spectator and from a team-member standpoint, as opposed to always being the focal point."

Being familiar with a city's past provides a measure of where things are - how far they have come and how far they still need to go. Knowing the history helps explain why the University of Texas at Dallas is actually in Richardson, how the Rangers became the Cowboys, why it took until 1991 for minorities to gain real representation on the City Council and how Ku Klux Klan membership in Dallas went from the highest per capita of any city in the country - 13,000 in 1923 - to 1,300 three years later. Or even why Love Field was so important to the city's development and just who the heck Love was anyway.
It tells you why the taquerias are so good and so plentiful, how Dallas came to be a blues mecca, why it became the largest inland cotton market in the U.S. and how residents could overcome the condemnation and shame that clung to the city where a president was gunned down.
Knowing the story of Dallas sheds light on who some of the true heroes were and why we should care now. Those people include Pauline Periwinkle, who wielded her pen to champion women's and children's rights. And Drs. George Lee Shelton, Frank H. Jordan, William K. Flowers Jr., Joseph R. Williams and Lee G. Pinkston, who broke the color barrier at a white hospital here in 1954. Also, Col. A.H. Belo, who had the foresight to establish a newspaper in what was then an outpost, and The Dallas Morning News' philanthropic founder, George Bannerman Dealey. And J. Erik Jonsson, a creative and civic force who forged a global company and modernized Dallas as mayor. It also illuminates how the senseless death of 12-year-old Santos Rodriguez could galvanize thousands to march for change.
Thanks for joining us on our trek through 125 years of history to uncover stories of how a city and its newspaper helped shape North Texas.
Laura Schwed is editor of the 125th anniversary project.

What is Adenoiditis?
Adenoiditis is an inflammation of the adenoids. Adenoids are masses of lymph tissue that help the body fight infection. Adenoids are found in the pharynx (throat) just behind the nose. Along with the tonsils, adenoids are the first line of defense in your throat.
The lymphatic system performs several roles to help protect you from infection. Adenoids store white blood cells and antibodies that help to destroy possible infections threatening your health. Inflamed adenoids may not perform their function properly.
What Causes Adenoiditis?
Adenoiditis can be caused by a bacterial infection, such as Streptococcus, or by viruses, such as the Epstein-Barr virus (among others).
Who Is at Risk for Adenoiditis?
Certain risk factors make you susceptible to infections of the adenoidal tissues. The risks are:
- recurring infections in the throat, neck, or head
- infections of the tonsils
- contact with airborne viruses, germs, and bacteria
Everyone is born with large adenoids. They begin to shrink as we age. Children are often more susceptible to adenoiditis because their adenoids have not shrunk down yet.
What Are the Symptoms of Adenoiditis?
Adenoiditis may begin as a swelling or enlargement of the tissue. The swelling may block or restrict your airways. It can make it difficult to breathe through your nose.
Other problems associated with swollen adenoids include:
- trouble pronouncing certain letters of the alphabet, such as the letter "m"
- sounding "nasal" when speaking, as if you were talking through your nose
- sore or dry throat from breathing through the mouth
- breathing through your mouth becomes more comfortable than breathing through your nose. It may be the only option for you if your adenoids are very swollen.
- snoring during the night or any time you sleep
- signs of infection, such as a runny nose that produces green or discolored mucus.
What Are The Complications of Adenoiditis?
You may experience a number of complications from adenoiditis. These complications may result in chronic or severe inflammation in adenoidal tissues that spread to other locations of the head and neck.
Ear Infections
You may experience infections in the middle ear. Your adenoids lie next to the Eustachian tubes of the middle ear. As adenoiditis symptoms increase, the inflammation may block the opening of the tubes leading to the middle ear leading to infection and difficulty hearing.
Glue Ear
This complication occurs when mucus builds up and blocks the middle ear, which affects your hearing. It typically begins as a blockage of the Eustachian tubes, which are the tubes that allow fluid to drain from the ears.
Sinus Problems (Sinusitis)
Your sinus cavities may fill up with fluid and become infected. The sinuses are the hollow areas within the facial bones that contain pockets of air.
Infections of the Chest
You may experience a chest infection, such as pneumonia or bronchitis, if your adenoids become severely infected with a virus or bacteria. The infection may spread to the lungs, bronchioles, and other structures in the respiratory system.
Diagnosing Adenoiditis
Your primary care physician may refer you over to a specialist called an otolaryngologist, or ear, nose and throat doctor (ENT). An ENT doctor has specialized training in infections, diseases and conditions of the ear, nose, and throat. You may undergo a physical examination to determine where the infection is located.
Other tests include:
- throat examinations using swabs to obtain samples of bacteria and other organisms
- blood tests to determine the presence of organisms that may show in blood
- X-rays of the adenoids to determine their size and extent of infection
The ENT doctor may require information about your family history to determine if your condition is hereditary.
Treating Adenoiditis
Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to cure your infection. The use of antibiotics often proves successful in treating inflamed adenoidal tissue. Surgery to remove your adenoids may also be an option. Surgery is used to remove adenoids that:
- do not get better with antibiotics
- have recurring infections
- exist alongside an underlying health issue, such as cancer or a tumor of the throat and neck
- cause breathing and swallowing problems
Outlook: Does Adenoiditis Clear up Easily?
Most antibiotics clear up infections. Your breathing and swallowing may also improve.
How Do I Prevent Adenoiditis?
You can help prevent infection in your adenoids, as well as those of your children, by eating healthy foods and drinking plenty of fluids. Getting enough sleep at night can also help. If your child has problems with their adenoids, seek the advice of her pediatrician.

Recovery-oriented cognitive therapy promotes superior outcomes in low-functioning patients with schizophrenia at the end of treatment; Grant et alArticle found that patients randomized to cognitive therapy showed significant improvement in global functioning, as well as significant reductions in both avolition and positive symptoms as compared with patients assigned to standard treatment.
Negative symptoms are defined by the absence of normal function. However, there must be a productive mechanism that leads to this absence. Gold et alArticle used a combination of behavioral and computational modeling methods to demonstrate that patients with high levels of negative symptoms have a specific abnormality in reinforcement learning whereby patients fail to represent the expected value of rewards when making decisions but successfully learn to avoid punishments.
Gabbay et alArticle examined alterations in anterior cingulate cortexγ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) concentrations in 20 medication-free adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) and 21 controls using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Decreases in GABA levels in the MDD group were most pronounced in the MDD subgroup categorized as anhedonic. Anhedonia, assessed as a continuous variable, was negatively correlated with GABA levels in the whole MDD group and the combined MDD and control groups.
Holtzheimer et alArticle present data on 10 patients with unipolar disorder and 7 patients with bipolar II disorder receiving long-term subcallosal cingulate deep brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression. The study design included a 4-week placebo lead-in. Remission rates were 18% at 6 months, 35% at 1 year, and 58% at 2 years, with no remitter experiencing a spontaneous relapse. No hypomanic or manic episodes occurred, and long-term deep brain stimulation was well tolerated.
Munk-Olsen et alArticle conducted a cohort study using information from population-based registers aimed at investigating readmission risks to psychiatric inpatient treatment facilities among women before and after induced first-trimester abortions. Results showed that risks of readmission were similar prior to and following the abortion procedure but also demonstrated that women with preexisting mental disorders having abortions had higher levels of psychiatric morbidity measured as incidence rates around abortion compared with women giving birth.
Shalev et alArticle compared early treatment modalities for preventing posttraumatic stress disorder: prolonged exposure (PE) (n = 63); cognitive therapy (CT) (n = 40); double-blind escitalopram/placebo condition (n = 46); and a waiting list followed by delayed PE (n = 41). Prolonged exposure did not differ from CT, and both did not differ from delayed PE. The escitalopram condition did not differ from the placebo or waiting list conditions. Prolonged exposure, CT, and delayed PE effectively prevent posttraumatic stress disorder in recent survivors.
Miedl et alArticle examined neuronal representation of subjective reward value in pathological gamblers and healthy controls. Compared with healthy controls, neuronal value correlations in the reward system in gamblers were increased during delay discounting and decreased during probability discounting. Within gamblers, neuronal value signals for delayed rewards were negatively correlated with gambling severity.
Ponseti et alArticle tested whether pedophilia can be detected by the mean of brain responses to sexual images. During a functional magnetic resonance imaging session, pedophilic (n = 24) and nonpedophilic participants (n = 32) were briefly exposed to same- and opposite-sex images of nude children and adults. Functional magnetic resonance images were submitted to an automatic classification algorithm (cross-validated). Ponseti et al report a mean accuracy of 95%, indicating that this is a promising objective tool to clinically diagnose pedophilia.
Ecker et alArticle examined brain anatomy and its relationship to behavior in a sample of male adults with autism spectrum disorder using a multicenter magnetic resonance imaging design (N = 178). Adults with autism spectrum disorder did not differ from controls in overall brain volume but showed distributed differences in brain anatomy and connectivity, which were associated with specific autistic features and traits.

SAGINAW, MI — Both men charged with shooting at each other last week in the Birch Park housing community now are in jail.
Michigan State Police troopers on Saturday, Aug. 10, arrested Deunte O. Gamble on a four-felony warrant and lodged him at the Saginaw County Jail.
Gamble, 17, appeared for arraignment Monday morning before Saginaw County District Judge Terry L. Clark, who ordered him held on a $650,000 bond.
Gamble and Adonis T. Palmore, also 17, both are charged with assault with intent to murder and other felonies in connection with an Aug. 6 incident at the housing community off Hess on Saginaw's southeast side.
Buena Vista police arrested Palmore after the incident at the E-Z Stop Party Store, across Hess from Birch Park. Palmore said he fired in self-defense, police said.
Saginaw County Chief District Judge M. Randall Jurrens on Wednesday signed arrest warrants against the men. While prosecutors charged the two men on the same arrest warrant, the victim listed on each man's assault charge is the other man.
In addition to the assault charge, which carries a maximum penalty of life in prison, Gamble also is charged with carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent and two counts of possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony. Palmore faces the same charges as well as charges of carrying a concealed weapon, possessing with intent to deliver marijuana, and a third felony firearm charge.
Both men are charged with using pistols in the incident.
Gamble, who last lived at 3057 Birch Park in the housing community, remains jailed; Palmore, who last lived at 2721 Lowell in Saginaw, remains jailed on a $750,000 bond, set by Clark on Thursday.
The men are scheduled for an Aug. 20 preliminary hearing before District Judge M.T. Thompson.

Vynagrip high performance industrial matting
• Anti-slip • Anti-Fatigue • Safety matting
Vynagrip, with its aggressive 'diamond' tread on both top and bottom, is the UK's highest rated slip resistant matting meeting the demanding DIN 51130 standard, with a rating of R12. Developed by Plastic Extruders as a high performance anti-slip, anti fatigue mat, Vynagrip, has proved highly successful in the commercial and industrial matting sector.
The product's high level of slip resistance, combined with an open grid system and a maximum liquid drainage rating of DIN 51130: V10, means that Vynagrip can be relied upon to perform in a wide range of commercial and industrial matting applications.
According to the UK's Health & Safety Executive (HSE), slipping and tripping is the most common kind of accident to cause major injury to employees, accounting for the 37% and rising overall total of reported major injuries. Of this figure 19% involve a slip on a wet substance or wet surface - a figure which cannot be ignored!
This staggering fact, combined with increased awareness about public liability, makes the issue of slip resistance in the workplace more important than ever.
In addition, standing for prolonged periods on hard concrete floors is one of the most common causes of physical fatigue amongst employees, which can result in loss of concentration, an overall downturn in productivity and an increased risk of employee-related accidents.
Vynagrip safety matting addresses both the fatigue and slip problems, and has proved highly attractive to specifiers and end users.
Anti-fatigue tests
*Scientific tests have proved the successful, anti-fatigue properties of Vynagrip following a year of research at the University of Hertfordshire. The tests, commissioned by Plastic Extruders, are believed to be Europe's first, in-depth scientific research of its kind. Under test conditions, comparisons were made with a large number of volunteers taking part in mental and physical tasks whilst standing on either a hard floor surface or Vynagrip matting. Published results show that employees standing for sustained periods are significantly less fatigued when standing on Vynagrip. These results confirm that using Vynagrip can improve comfort for employees, boost overall productivity and, in turn, boost profitability.
Because the flexible composition of Vynagrip provides cushioning, components accidentally dropped will also be less likely to be damaged.
*Copies of the report are available on request.

Linuxy Hopes, Dreams and Resolutions for 2011
Now that New Year's Eve is almost upon us once again, there seems little to do with 2010 but bid it a fond farewell and set our sights on what's to come.
We've already taken the required look back over the year; we've even put the "year of" debate through one more round. Now, all that's left to do is formulate the hopes, dreams and resolutions that will carry us forward into 2011.
That, at least, is what Linux bloggers have been doing in recent days down at the blogosphere's seedy Broken Windows Lounge, where the snow drifts have now all but blocked any remaining view out of the already grimy windows.
The mood has been somber and contemplative, aided no doubt by the Peppermint Penguins, the Sudo Santas and the Command Lime Coolers that have been so freely flowing.
What are FOSS geeks hoping might happen in this coming year? What are their own resolutions and plans? Linux Girl settled into her favorite bar stool and took it upon herself to find out.

Overtime win sends 'Cats to state
Jason Ferguson
Published: Thursday, October 11th, 2012
David Hernandez's looping header—a backwards header, no less—over the outstretched arms of Chamberlain's goalie in the sixth minute of the first overtime period propelled Custer to a 3-2 win and a trip to the state tournament last Thursday afternoon in Custer.
Hernandez scored all three Custer goals in the win, none better than the game winner.
"I think the overtime goal from Graysen (Trandem, who had the assist) to David was the best I have seen in the last few years," assistant coach Casey Trandem said.�"The serve was perfect and David showed incredible control to send it on with his head over the goalie."
The game seemed as if it was going to be a blowout in favor of Custer, with the Wildcats scoring twice in the first 25 minutes—Hernandez's first goal coming at the 12 minute mark of a pass from Sloan Shorb, and again when he ripped a three-yard shot into the goal in the 24th minute. The vast majority of the first half saw Custer dominate possession and take a 2-0 lead into the half on the cold, windy day.

RELEASE: New Report on Strengthening Our Democracy by Expanding Voting Rights
Contact: Madeline Meth
Phone: 202.741.6277
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Washington, D.C. — The Center for American Progress today released a new report titled "Strengthening Our Democracy by Expanding Voting Rights," which outlines the different ways state legislatures can expand access to voting rights for their citizens. In recent years conservative legislatures across the country have engaged in a systematic attempt to suppress voter turnout by pushing legislation to address the largely fictitious issue of "voter fraud." Their efforts have included bills to make it harder to register new voters, strict requirements of photo identification in order to vote, shortened early voting, and the elimination of same-day voter registration, all of which have disproportionally disenfranchised minorities, young people, members of the military, and elderly voters.
In the past election cycle, conservative legislatures in more than a dozen states—including Wisconsin, Florida, and Texas—passed legislation making it more difficult for voters to vote, forcing voting-rights advocates to play defense and fight back to try to block or modify the worst laws that were enacted. After the progressive victories in state legislatures like Oregon, Maine, and Colorado, voting-rights advocates have an opportunity to increase voter participation instead of defend voters against laws that disenfranchise them. This report outlines the different ways that voting-rights activists can implement policies to ensure that every American can exercise his or her right to vote.
The report proposes policy solutions, 11 pieces of legislation that lawmakers can enact to strengthen voting rights in their state. A number of these policies would make registering to vote more accessible, including allowing online voter registration, Election Day registration, and requiring public schools to help register voters. Others would make it simpler for citizens to cast a ballot, such as expanding early voting, permitting citizens to vote at any polling location, and allowing no-excuse absentee voting. States can also discourage those trying to suppress the vote by outlawing voter caging, strengthening penalties for knowingly deceiving voters, and reforming the voter-challenge process. Finally, legislators can pass other pro-voting policies, such as restoring voting rights to ex-felons and enacting constitutional language affirming an equal right to vote.
"Strengthening Our Democracy by Expanding Voting Rights" outlines good government, nonpartisan solutions to turn the tide toward making voting fair, free, and accessible for all. If 2011 and 2012 were immortalized as the years when Jim Crow-style voter-suppression tactics re-emerged, progressives now have an opportunity to make 2013 the most important year for voting rights since the 1960s.

"Who wants to sell me a double-decker bus on the cheap?"
The ninth episode of the Atheist News Podcast has posted.
Brother Richard gets a gold star for being on the show yet again.
This week we begin with a correction from last week's show and then jump into the news: The UK considers punting the clergy out of Parliament, meanwhile France considers punting some Muslims. When did France get so hard-core? We talk about "prayer booths." Well, rather, we clown on them mercilessly. Then, to wrap it up, we talk about the second best father's day gift money can buy, the dangers of drinking tea, and we make fun of the Sabbath.
Another week, another blasphemy.

Where I stayed
Palace Hights (hotel name is as it appears on outside sign)
Fast Facts
In the eastern most part of the state of Rajasthan (close to the Pakistan border)
Population = 60,000
Founded in 1156, Jaisalmer's strategic position on the camel-train routes between India and Central Asia brought it great wealth. The townspeople and merchants built great mansions exquisitely carved from wood and sandstone (the art of carving wood and sandstone is still alive today as you can see in our pictures). The rise in the importance of shipping and the port of Mumbai resulted in Jaisalmer's decline along with other factors such as water shortages and cutting of the trade routes through Pakistan.
Bordering the Great Thar Desert, Jaisalmer is a giant sandcastle with a town attached, an emblem of honor in a land of rough and tumble
Jaisalmer is known as the "golden city" because everyone uses natural gold colored sandstone to build houses, monuments, and other buildings. When the stone is polished, it shines like the amber gemstone. Most outside walls of buildings are not polished but you can still see the golden hue of the stone.

Bradley Cooper's Fans Sing 'Happy Birthday' in Palm Springs

Bradley Cooper didn't necessarily have the wildest of birthday celebrations, but his special day certainly didn't go unnoticed.
The Silver Linings Playbook star, who flew in on Bombardier's Hollywood Reporter Palm Springs shuttle from Santa Monica, Calif., and turned 38 on Saturday, was greeted by a slew of screaming fans when he arrived on the red carpet at the 24th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala in Palm Springs, Calif.
"Bradley started interacting with his fans and then they broke out into song, chanting 'Happy birthday to you,'" an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
Running late into the event because of the fan holdup, Cooper whisked by many of the reporters, and when asked about his birthday plans, answered with a smile, "I'm here!"
Mary Hart Tapes Final Entertainment Tonight Episode with Friends

After nearly 30 years hosting Entertainment Tonight, the day has come for Mary Hart to put down her mic.
Hart, 60, whose hosting duties will be fulfilled by Nancy O'Dell, 45, was surprised with a party on stage after her final taping on Thursday. Unexpected guests, including Hart's former co-hosts John Tesh (co-hosted from 1982-1996), Bob Goen (co-hosted from 1993-2004) and Robb Weller (co-hosted from 1984-1986), were brought out for the big farewell.
Additionally, Natalie Cole surprised Hart and serenaded the departing host with her hit, "Unforgettable."
Admitting in November that leaving ET was "not an easy decision," Hart said, "Knowing I will pass the baton to Nancy O'Dell makes that decision much easier."
Fans can reach out to Hart and send their own messages via Twitter by Tweeting @ETonlinealert using the hash tag #WeHartMary.

Should I Have More Kids — and Get Married?jack
There's a question I get asked all the time these days that is probably the thing that I understand the least: Do I want to have more kids? And, wow, talk about a doozie!
Because of course I realize that, as wonderful wonderful wonderful as things are with Otis and Louie (and their excellent moms), there are things, big things, that I'll miss out on if I don't have any more children. To wit:
* I still have never had a child in a romantic relationship
* I've never looked at one of my children and known it was a continuation of the person I love the most in the world
* I've never held her hand while she's deep in labor
* I've never seen one of my children emerge into the world
* I've never had a daughter (and Lord knows I'd be undone with love)
* I've never gone through the trenches of parenting and come out the other side
* And I've never done it with a person I'm spending the rest of my life with.
Reading this list, it's almost as if each entry feels like the largest possible loss in life, but then each new entry pains me the more.
As I've written about many times, I was one of those kids who grew up in a repeatedly fractured home who dreamt again and again for a future of unity and stability. Even in college, I said I wanted to be a husband and a dad above all things.
So now the idea that I seem to be sidestepping my foremost life ambition feels incredibly strange to type (or say — or live, obviously).
But then on the other side of the ledger there's one very clear thing: my life as I've known it and come to live it in the 25 years of my adulthood, and especially the magnificent existence I've been able to carve out of late.
For the last few years, I've had the absurdly rare luxury of being able to have 2 incredible sons and still maintain the vast majority of my freewheeling bachelor's life (to the great resentment of many of my male father friends, apparently). I still have virtually all the freedom (of time, money, sleep) that I had before children, and of course I feel incredibly spoiled and lucky as a result. Having lived this way for so long now, I'm more than daunted by the idea of trading it in; I simply don't know if I could — or who I'd become if I did.
That's the personal side of it (in brief), but on the romantic side, I also have come to realize the toll that children can take on relationships and to think that maybe if and when I finally do settle down with someone, it might be advantageous to already have had our kids and to be able to devote most of our energies to each other. Romance can suffer during early child-rearing, so to bypass that could be enormously advantageous.
But really, it's hard to say: would having children w/ my partner bring me closer to them or not? Would my life be better if I had more children and lived w/ them or if I simply went on loving the ones I have now while maintaining my freedom? Very few people have the perspective of both sides — I certainly don't — but I'd love to hear any insight any of you have.
What's a guy to do?

Homeschool students in Virginia will not have the chance to participate in public school sports after the state's Senate Education and Health Committee rejected the so-called "Tebow Bill" Thursday, in a 8-7 vote.
Named after Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, opponents argued it would be unfair to allow students who haven't met the school's academic standards to play.
But Sen. Stephen D. Newman, R-Lynchburg, one of the bill's supporters, said the measure would have given local school divisions the option to allow home-schooled children to compete.
"I would hope we as a committee would step out and hug these children," Newman said.
At least 15 states, including Florida, allow homeschool students to play sports at public schools. Tebow, who was homeschooled, led his team to a state title his senior year.

Eclipse Position-holder Sues for Deposit Refund
Business Jet Traveler » August 2008
Friday, August 1, 2008 - 5:00am
Geiger Excavating has sued Eclipse Aviation, seeking refund of a $150,000 deposit for an Eclipse 500 VLJ, plus pre-judgment interest and the cost of taking the case to court. Jay Geiger, president of Geiger Excavating of Fort Wayne, Ind., signed a deposit agreement for the aircraft in October 2000. According to Geiger, before April this year, Eclipse said it would deliver the jet in October or November 2008, but on April 11, Eclipse told him that if he didn't pay $773,762 within a week, he would be in default of the deposit agreement and would forfeit the $150,000. According to the complaint, "Eclipse's demand was based on an anticipated delivery date in September 2008," and the company refused to adjust the final payment date to reflect the previously discussed October/November delivery. Eclipse also refused to refund the deposit. The complaint accuses the manufacturer of material breach of the deposit agreement and cites a provision in it that allows cancellation and refund "if FAA Part 23 certification of the Eclipse 500 jet occurs after June 30, 2004." An Eclipse spokeswoman said that the company does not comment on lawsuits.

Bonuses are shelled out based on the particular quality of assassination. From drop kills to silent hits, mid-air murders and revenge snuffs, each flavour of slaying has its own rewards. At the other end of the spectrum, fewer points are awarded if the other player is aware you're after them. Run at them through a crowd in the middle of the street, and you're in for a lower score.
The second mode, Alliance, sets you up in three teams of two. Essentially a team-based variation of Wanted, your aim is to track down one team of assassins as another duo attempts to take you out. The problem in this mode so far is that the game doesn't really encourage you to change your style of play from the previous one, despite the fact that you're now in a team. Sure, you can gain bonuses by playing together - either by stunning your target simultaneously, going in for a kill simultaneously or stunning your victim before your team-mate finishes them off - but working together can prove difficult.
Both modes give you the option of choosing from one of nine potential characters: the Prowler, the Barber, the Doctor, the Priest, the Courtesan, the Noble, Engineer, the Executioner and the Smuggler. Despite the suggested diversity, they're all essentially the same - equal in strength despite having different character-specific weapons and fancy kill animations. Alliance forces both team-members to choose the same character. There's some method to it, to be fair. Before the game begins you're shown who you will be after and who will be after you - two easy-enough-to-remember photos of faces you'll be able to spot in a crowd. The rub is that this setup makes every attempt to join forces with your partner extremely bloody obvious. Encircle your target as you plan for a quick stun-and-kill, and you inevitably look like a partnership of twin maniacs who stand out like a sore thumb. You'll ask yourself, "I wonder if these two identical doctors are going to try and syringe me to death?". And the answer will be yes, because they almost always will be.
Attempting to succeed as a team is noticeably slower than working on your own, because you're pushed to anticipate the next move of not two teams but three. "Who is following me?" you'll ponder "Is that my target over there? What the hell is Dave doing on that roof?" The result in my playthrough was a gradual split between team members. We may have started off going after the same target but we inevitably went our own way, running off after individual targets who themselves had split off from their team, and attempting to get to them before our team-mate took them out and got the points for himself.
What you end up being faced with is a slight variation of Wanted, with both its brilliantly stealth-riddled qualities as well as its frustrations. Unfortunately the problematic issue in Wanted is the same thing that fuels its basis as a cat and mouse game: It can get bloody frustrating finding the correct target to assassinate. Your primary tool here is an indicator that points you in the general direction of the player, starting out as a thin line that grows in width as you approach your target and filling out as a full disc when you are standing beside them. It can be annoyingly inexact at times; your target might be standing behind that wall over there, but the indicator won't be able to distinguish between him or the three NPCs standing directly in front of you. Kill a citizen and you'll lose the contract, and be told to hunt another player elsewhere.
On the one hand it becomes a matter of cleverly trying to spot the human traits of your targets amongst a group of NPCs, rather than simply following an arrow to an objective. But within a 10-minute game session it's tasking to stop and analyse the characters in front of you just to successfully make the kill. But the foibles are easy to ignore. It's still early days for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and regardless of the slight difficulties it offers some fantastically interesting multiplayer.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood multiplayer beta for PS3 is available now. The full game will arrive on PS3 and Xbox 360 on November 19.

We reach Bharatpur, where our magic bus is to be exchanged for an air-conditioned India Railway car. Bhowani explains that the drive to Ranthambore National Park is many hours long, while the train is relatively quick; the bus, bearing our bags, will rejoin us later that night. I am not wild about being separated from my suitcase, but Bhowani, with a look of faint amusement we all come to know well, assures us that it's for the best.
The scene on the Bharatpur platform instantly validates his judgment. The train in the station (not ours) is packed so full that people hang out of the open doors, even as women carting multiple children and armloads of canvas bundles are stuffing themselves into the throng. The platform is no less congested, with families sprawled on the ground, naked children toddling unheeded toward the platform's edge; a man with legs so crippled that he wears a single sneaker on one knee drags himself up and extends a hand. Cows and goats graze on the tracks. As the train starts to move, half a dozen young men leap off the platform and give chase, scrambling onto the last car and hanging off the sides: according to Bhowani, they're only going one stop, and it's worth the risk.
"Sixteen million people ride the trains every day," he relates, and the mood, as it seems to be everywhere in India, is high-key; as we raise our cameras, the passengers, almost without exception, grin and wave.
Bhowani has mischievously informed us that our train will be even more crowded, but it proves similar to an older NJ Transit model and we arrive in Sawai Madhopur more or less on time. From there it is a short drive to the Oberoi Vanyavilas, a resort that, with its twenty acres of landscaped gardens threaded with water features and paths lush with bougainvillea, feels a bit like a hotel in Bel-Air or Beverly Hills. The difference is that, instead of bungalows, one finds 25 "luxury tents," modeled on the ones that 19th-century shooting parties used to stay in, and quite irresistibly sybaritic.
Much as I would like to loll in my oversized bathtub, pretending I am Gary Cooper in The Lives of a Bengal Lancer, the big attraction here is the park, which, among India's 21 tiger preserves, has racked up the most recorded sightings. The hotel, like many of the 70 others that have materialized since the park was established in 1980, offers daily game drives, and the morning after our arrival, we set off in an open-top four-wheel-drive along Ranthambore's rutted roads with a guide. There are seven different zones within the park, each with opportunities for game spotting; the guides search the sites where tigers typically congregate, listen for the distinctive war whoop-sound the sambar deer makes to warn other animals of a tiger's presence, and exchange information regarding kills (a tiger will feed on a carcass for three or four days, alternating meals with trips to a nearby water source). We motor from point to point, pausing for long, still stretches to listen, scan the area with binoculars, and hope that the Royal Bengal we've spotted doesn't turn out to be a tree stump.
Game drives can be a bit like longterm-relationship sex: brief moments of ecstasy interspersed with interminable interludes of waiting. But we almost immediately get lucky: with a handful of jeeps from other hotels, we converge on a promising spot – and within moments, a 14-year-old female the park stewards have named Machali steps out of the woods and, rather than avoiding the stunned, riveted humans with their snapping cameras, walks straight toward us in a wary but leisurely way, passing between the vehicles and within ten feet of us (briefly locking eyes with one of my traveling companions and giving her a memorable shock) before continuing on her way. None of us can quite believe what we've seen: the old lady is a star, and we have just been treated to an incomparable turn on the jungle catwalk.
