There are many differents highlighters and they're all cool, good or fast enought and parse different languages, but today there are a lot of sites or project areas that are dedicated only to JavaScript.
This class should reduce server CPU load and bandwidth delegating highlights to clients.
This class is unobtrusive, then clients that haven't JS compatible/enabled browser should view the code (of course, without highlight).
You could use this JavaScript class to:
- highlight javascript syntax on a blog, using, for example, a getElementsByTagNames("PRE") loop if there are many sources
- highlight javascript syntax on a forum, for example using "bbcode" syntax as referer for replacements directly with JS on each post
- highlight manually javascript, to post JS highlighted on a forum or blog
- wathever you like, if you need a javascript syntax highlighter :-)

The Jakarta Post
In a bid to promote the capital's tourism potential to the global community, the government, through the Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry and the Jakarta administration, have agreed to stage a
Jakarta marathon.
The maiden event, which is slated to be run in October, will target thousands of participants including world-class runners from 20 countries.
"Marathons have become one of the most popular activities in the world. We have heard of the New York Marathon and the Paris Marathon, but in Asia there is just the Tokyo Marathon," Tourism and Creative Economy Deputy Minister Sapta Nirwandar said at the City Hall on Wednesday.
Sapta said the organizers hoped that the marathon would attract over 5,000 professional and amateur participants to run a 42-kilometer course that would wind from Pluit, North Jakarta, to Bung Karno Stadium in Senayan, Central Jakarta.
"We expect to attract between 5,000 and 10,000 participants from 20 countries," he said. "We will also provide wheelchairs for the disabled."
The event, which will have private sector sponsorship, will be held to boost sports tourism and feature a combined prize pot of Rp 4 billion (US$414,808).
"There are many people who know of Jakarta only through the major flooding that frequently hits the city," Sapta said.
The marathon will feature a cultural carnival and other art performances, Jakarta Tourism and Culture Agency head Arie Budhiman said.
"The performances will be a surprise," he said, adding that the cultural festival would differentiate the Jakarta Marathon from other established marathons.
Jakarta Sports Agency head Ratiyono said that the administration would also involve the Indonesian Track and Field Association (PASI) and other relevant agencies, including the Transportation Agency, the Public Works Agency and the Public Order Agency.
"We will sterilize the route of vehicles for about eight hours for the event. We also have to spruce up the city," he said, adding that cultural sites in the capital like the Old Town in West Jakarta would be included in the marathon route.
Sapta declined to give details of the budget that would be allocated to finance the event, saying that the government and the administration were currently discussing the matter. According to Arie, the Jakarta Marathon is planned to be an annual event.

Hayden Panettiere plans to celebrate turning 18 with a big party – and notes that the milestone also allows her to indulge in a few previously forbidden vices.
Asked by David Letterman on his Late Show Monday what the big birthday means to her, the Heroes star answered: "I don't think much changes when you're 18 – maybe the way people treat you. But I think the only things I can do is buy cigarettes, porn and, if I get in trouble with the law, I'm kind of screwed."
After a momentary thought, she added that one additional bonus of being 18 is being able to tell her parents during a fight, "You can't talk to me like that, I'm an adult."
When Letterman expressed some disappointment in her response, saying that he was "hoping for something a little more inspirational," and asked about the ability to vote, Panettiere said she planned to register on Tuesday.
The actress is getting involved with Norman Lear's "Declare Yourself" campaign. As Panettiere explained, "It's stressing how important it is to vote and to be part of your election, so I'll be registering to vote."
As for how she plans to celebrate her natal day, she said, "We're going to have a big party. I think it will be me biggest party yet – except for when I was 2, my mom used to get the big [inflatable] Moon Bounces and we had a hell of a party."

Review By:Monica on 10/8/2015
I am sorry to tell you that after using this product for the first time, I did not observe any results. I applied the product as instructed and the aftermath was absolutely no difference. My under eyes looked exactly the same. The process felt great but it didn't reduce the appearance of my under eye wrinkles :(
My dermatologist said YES to this product!
Review By:kat on 6/12/2015
I went to a dermatologist recently to discuss skin care and all the options to look as fresh and natural as possible! They had many products in the office and she was very helpful with skin care options that would suit my active outdoor lifestyle. When I told her I was a "face cream/serum junkie" and that I had a drawer full of expensive good lotions, she was kind enough to tell me to bring them in and see what I had. She kindly went through all of them (took a while :) as she read all of the ingredients of all the products I brought in ) and she told me which ones to not use on my face (but could use on my body since I had already purchased them) This product as well as all of the juice beauty products I had, she gave accolades to! She said to continue to use them and even though they had different product in the office, she was very positive about juice beauty and only juice beauty of the many beautiful and expensive face products I had. I have been very happy with the results and the fresh vibrant and youthful appearance that juice beauty delivers !!
Love these!
Review By:Amber on 5/18/2015
I saw Kate Hudson had these on her instagram before an award show. That made me want to try them. She has gorgeous skin. I have to say I couldn't be more happy with them. They're great to do before an event or a night out. They plump your skin up and give you a fresh look. I like to do the green apple peel and then these. I'm very particular when it comes to skincare and am thrilled to have the eye lift as part of my regimen.

Review By:Gay on 4/8/2015
This product does what it says it will do. I am 59 with puffiness under eyes and it reduces and smoothes, leaving a nice velvety feel.
Yes But......
Review By:Jennifer Bowen on 4/8/2015
First of all, I do love Juice Beauty Products. I regularly buy the Green Apple Peels and CC creams for both myself and my daughters. I am a definitely a beauty product junkie and I have many different brands and explore them with my daughters (in their 20's) as well as my sister (we are both in our 50's). We all have different kinds of skin so some products are great for all of us and some may not be. I do applaud Juice Beauty for addressing a number of concerns effectively. My skin is fair, and I do tend to have dark circles, (not so much puffiness, under my eyes), not to mention my age, - when all women would prefer to maintain a smooth eye area, so this product interested me. I would definitely say that the circles are diminished particularly for the day of the use, and there is definitely a smoothing as well as firming effect. Over time I would be curious to see if there is a cumulative effect with regular use. So far that has not been the case, but it may be that I just haven't used it long enough. I am definitely happy with the effects when I use this! Making it a "to do" on a day when I have a special event. But.....there are two areas of improvement I would really recommend and they are
1), the pads are so delicate that they sometimes break in the little container before I even put them on, which forces me to kind of patch them to my face. I'm not sure why this is happening but I would recommend this gets looked into for a slightly sturdier product.
2) is the price. I am never shy about spending good money on good products, and this is a good product, but I think that $75 for only 6 applications is too much for this. I do spend ridiculous amounts on top products, but I want to be really clear that when I do that, they are typically products where very little goes a very long way, and they are in containers that are not measured in "serving sizes."
I like that Juice Beauty is a streamlined, natural plant based line, and I am happy with the products that I do regularly buy from them - I just think that on this one, the price could be a little more affordable for those of us that would consider this for regular use. Thank you!

Review By:Cynthia S on 9/8/2014
I can confidently expect results with this product. It leaves my eye area looking youthful, hydrated and much better than it did before the product use. I like the fact it is not harsh or full of chemicals, yet it works! At 56, my eye area looks a bit tired and needs a boost and the Cellular Instant Eye Lift provides a good result. I am happy to find a product that truly works!
"How are you reverse aging?"
Review By:Lewis G. on 9/5/2014
If you want to be asked by family & friends "You look amazing, what are you doing?" or "Are you reverse aging?" then use the Instant Eye Lift. I've been asked these questions many times by people close to me and can't help but smile every time. I use the entire Juice Beauty Stem Cellular line (which probably helps with the overall look of my skin). I then use the Instant Eye Lift right before a special occasions (big parties, birthdays, family dinners/BBQs) and I always feel and look refreshed! Hope the compliments keep coming, as I will for sure continue to use Juice Beauty's products.
Review By:HH on 6/24/2014
I purchased his hoping it would be well worth the money as I've dealt with puffy eyes my whole life and especially now as I get older. While this treatment leaves my eyes feeling refreshed and tightened, they do not appear so. In fact the morning after the treatment my eye seem to be more puffy or agitated. I love all of my Juice Beauty products so I will still continue to be a customer. But I will certainly not be spending $75 on the Stem Cellular Instant Eye Lift again. I'm bummed about spending that much since I never spend that much on a single beauty product. I was thinking it'd be totally worth it if it worked.
Amazing !!!!
Review By:Terry M. on 5/17/2014
Thank you Juice Beauty so much for this product and all of the other products you make. I strongly believe in organic products and this one delivers amazing results without harsh chemicals. I do use all of your products and I am very pleased with all of them. Please keep up the great work you do. Thank you so much !
Review By:Milly D on 4/3/2014
I ordered this product after seeing it on Shop HQ and am super happy with my purchase. With a new baby, lack of sleep and hormone changes have really caused my skin to not look great. My eyes are tired and puffy, with "fine lines" (aka bags!) under them. I wanted something that promised immediate results and was natural -- I don't want any chemicals in my baby's food supply (me!). Not only is this organic, but it made me look more like my self. LOVE!
"I've got my DIVA back!"
Review By:Lorraine W on 4/1/2014
I first purchase juice beauty from shop hq after listening to the presentation of the products I was sold on the today's value, which consisted of the stem cellular line. After a month of using this product people at work were actually asking me if they could touch my face and commented that my face felt like a baby's skin. I'm about to turn 60 this year and I don't have any wrinkles my skin is becoming even tone. I just cleanse put on the serum and the cc cream and out the door everyday. Thank you Juice Beauty!!! By the way I'm a dark skin Black America female who can wear the warm cc cream without looking ashy.
I have my CONFIDENCE back!!!
Review By:Carleigh H. on 3/28/2014
Juice Beauty, all I can say is THANK YOU!!! This product has given me back the confidence that I have been searching for...Over the past few years the skin around my eyes have become dry, tired looking and just plain old (wrinkles and crows feet). I am in my mid-30's, this should not be happening! It was almost a daily occurrence that someone would ask, "Are you tired?" or my favorite, "Wow! You look tired.." I have tried endless products to try and camouflage my flaws. But Juice Beauty provided me something a million times better...a true solution to help fix my concerns. All I can say, after just ONE application, my eyes transformed. The once dreaded dark circles became bright and luminous. My skin no longer felt dry and I noticed the wrinkles were not as present! After each Treatment, the results just continued to shine through. I am pretty sure you guys are my new BFF!! Thank you Juice Beauty SO much!!

The Jakarta Post
The 39th International Vegetarian Union's World Vegetarian Congress opened Friday in Jakarta with a festive atmosphere and enthusiasm among participants as well as vendors selling to a growing market.
Clad mostly in batik and other traditional attire, guests from various parts of the world enjoyed an all-vegetarian buffet while others swarmed food stalls at an adjacent food expo in the Gedung Pusat Niaga building inside the Jakarta International Expo center.
The congress, involving participants from 20 countries, will run until next Tuesday, with seminars, vegetarian product exhibitions, cooking demonstrations and scientific workshops in the program. The event will then continue in Bali from Oct. 7-9.
The head of the organizing committee, Susianto, said earlier this month that the event was expected to draw 8,000 participants, based on the fact that the previous one-day Southeast Asian Vegetarian Congress in Medan attracted 2,000 participants.
He said the number of vegetarians in Indonesia was estimated at 1 million.
The number of members of the Indonesian Vegetarian Society has grown from 5,000 in 1998 to 60,000 in 2007, said Susianto, the society's chief operations officer.
Karim Taslim, the public relations officer for the event, said that environmental health concerns had played a big role in encouraging people to become vegetarians.
He said the livestock business was often guilty of animal cruelty and that emissions from the industry contributed significantly to global warming. "At least 10 percent of the world are vegetarians," he said.
Some 70 vendors had opened stalls at the expo, of which 30 were food stalls.
The food sold at the stalls mostly carried an Indonesian theme, including vegetarian rendang (usually meat in savory, spicy coconut milk sauce), vegetarian South Sumatran pempek (usually fish cakes), and vegetarian satay.
Masruroh, the Culture and Tourism Ministry's deputy director of meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions, said the ministry had helped the organizing committee by funding the event's opening ceremony and gala dinner.
"We also have concern for tourists who are vegetarians. There are many restaurants and hotels that now serve vegetarian food," she said.
Minarto, the Health Ministry's director of community nutrition, said at the event that the ministry supported the event. He said the standard diet of the majority of the population was healthy, but added that some people, such as people with obesity, might want to consider a vegetarian diet to improve their health.
International Vegetarian Union manager John Davis said during the opening ceremony in front of hundreds of participants that Indonesia's vegetarians were now "one of the biggest vegetarian societies in world".

THE JSE ended fairly flat on Tuesday, giving away earlier gains after US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke gave no indication of taking further steps to stimulate the world's largest economy.
At 5pm local time, the JSE all-share index was down 0,06% at 33706,57 points, with gold miners losing 1,38%. Platinum shares added 0,4%, but resources shed 0,61%.
Financials were flat (-0,01%), banking stocks rose 0,21% and industrials gained 0,26%.
The rand was trading at R8,22 to the dollar, unchanged from the JSE's close on Monday, while gold changed hands at $1576,15 a troy ounce from $1591,69/oz at the close. Platinum was quoted at $1411,70/oz, from $1417,50/oz previously.
"The markets expected more definitive action from the US Fed chairman to lift the US economy," said David Shapiro, director at Sasfin Securities. "Investors are, as a result, left with nothing to build their positions on."
European markets also lost ground in late trade, with the UK's FTSE 100 down 0,55%.
Mr Bernanke struck a more negative tone in describing the US economic outlook in testimony prepared for the Senate banking committee, Dow Jones Newswires reported.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0,28% at 5.26pm South African time.

The reason I believe the wings can pull this off is the they have not been outplayed in any of the games in this series.
All of the games were lost on late mental mistakes by both Howard and the defense.
The wings HAVE to go with a 1 game at a time mentality, otherwise the series is over.
What will have to happen:
- Babcock will have to control the emotions of the team
- Howard will have to make big saves all game
- The defense HAS to tighten up
- Stop the sharks pp and ignite our offense on our PP's
- Ref's will have to put there whistles away, no bs calls
- Wings HAVE to capitalize on the sharks mistakes
- Smart decisions when on the ice
- Get more pucks on net
- Get into Nabbies's head
- Star players have to play great
- No giving up when down
Now there are plenty of other things that will have to occur, but the wings must start there.
Lets Go Wings!

FLAGSTAFF − Jeff Hornacek is 14 years removed from the last shot he took in the NBA, but the Suns still hang on his detailed advice for their shooting mechanics.
The Suns players might not have grade-school or preschool memories of when Hornacek was in the NBA Finals, but the resume and NBA Hardwood Classics replays are enough to believe in his formula for success.
What was not really known until this week was what kind of head coach Hornacek would be. He led the Suns' summer-league team, but this is his first time at the helm of an NBA franchise after 2½ seasons as a full-time Utah assistant.
"The first thing I've seen is he's really patient," Suns center Marcin Gortat said. "He understands that we have a really young group of guys, and it's going to take time to learn everything. Also, you can see through different drills that he's really a bright guy. He's one of the best players in the history of this game. He's working on small details that will make us better. I like that he's open to conversation. He likes to hear different ideas. Everybody likes to play for him and work for him."
Like any coach, Hornacek's style reflects those for whom he played and served. The difference with him is that list includes four NBA coaches who are among the NBA's top 21 winningest (Jerry Sloan, Doug Moe, Cotton Fitzsimmons and John MacLeod), Iowa State's all-time winningest coach (Johnny Orr) and a father who coached high school basketball and baseball.
That mix of styles blends with Hornacek, an intelligent, even-keeled man who grew up in tune with his dad's strategies and drew up plays in timeouts as a player — with his index finger diagramming on the palm of his hand.
Suns guard Eric Bledsoe considers him a mentor as much as a coach.
"He says, 'You're going to make mistakes. You're just going to have to play through them,'" Bledsoe said. "To hear a coach say that makes you want to play extra hard.
"Coach Hornacek knows what it takes, and everybody should be on one page and just listen to him."
Hornacek always was pegged to be a coach. In a Sports Illustrated players poll 22 years ago, Hornacek was voted the fourth-smartest player in the league behind Hall of Famers Larry Bird, John Stockton and Chris Mullin.
The strategy of the game is something he enjoys and figures to handle. One of the only questions came from the compliment that Hornacek is one of the nicer people in NBA circles. Could he be firm and jump on a team's case?
It happened twice in the first three days of camp, the last coming at the end of a scrimmage when a team trailing by three allowed the final seconds to run out rather than fouling. The team lined up to run.
"I know my voice," said Hornacek, whose demeanor belies his competitiveness. "I'm already hoarse."
Hornacek also believes in a staff of voices. He feels players do better hearing different voices and perspectives rather than only the head coach.
"The assistant coaches are doing a good job of that," Gortat said. "They're playing the bad guys and he's the good guy. Not everybody is happy when they see (assistant coach) Mike (Longabardi) coming in, but he's a great guy and a great defensive coach."
Hornacek has an acumen with shooters because of his playing strength and his work as Utah's part-time shooting coach before he became an assistant. With 19-year-old Archie Goodwin, that has meant trying to move the rookie's release point to the right instead of coming over the middle of his head with the ball.
Since leaving high school last year, Goodwin has gone from a season of John Calipari's rigid formula at Kentucky to more freedom under Hornacek as a pro.
"It's a lot different," Goodwin said of the coaching adjustment. "With Calipari, it's so much more intense as far as his coaching style. Coach Hornacek is more laid-back. He's easier to get along with than Coach Cal is on the court. It's Coach Cal's way. If he sees it his way, that's it. There's no talking to him about it. With Hornacek, if he sees something or you see something and you might have a different view on it, you could talk about it and I could discuss it."
Intrasquad scrimmage
Where: Walkup Skydome, Flagstaff.
When: The scrimmage starts at noon Saturday. Doors open at 10 a.m. with Northern Arizona basketball having "Morning Madness," an introduction to its men's and women's basketball teams with a 3-point contest and a slam dunk contest. The Suns start warm-ups at about 11 a.m.
What: The Suns' 18 training-camp players will be split into teams. After the game, Suns players will sign autographs as part of a fan fest.
Cost: Free.

Sometimes after a long sip of a particularly good craft beer, I time travel in my mind. As a lover of both beer and wildlife, I imagine what it would it have been like to visit America in the early 1800s.
Imagine standing at the gates of the Missouri, as Lewis and Clark did, and see those plains stretching forever east turned black with bison. What must it have been like to travel up river valleys to towns populated by German, French, Irish, English, Danish, Scottish, and Swiss settlers, all of them crafting beer with a mix of old world knowledge and new world grains? What a sight that America must have been.
Of course, those little breweries of yore met the same fate as the poor bison. Where once some 60 million bison roamed North America, by the turn of the 20th century there were just 23 solitary wild buffalo left, all in Yellowstone Park's Pelican Valley. Similarly, all the family breweries across America were shuttered by prohibition, and the ones that resurrected after the 21st Amendment were quickly lost with corporations like Anheuser-Busch and Coors still thriving. The combination of railroads and greed were at the root of much of the eradication of both bison and family breweries.
What's interesting is that today there are more bison in America and more family owned breweries than at any time since the 1800s. And, the two are often intertwined, with many brewpubs offering bison burgers, steaks, chili and more, often made from bison raised on a local ranches.
As wild buffalo begin to rut in August, and grillers across America sizzle bison as the summer wanes, August provides incredible opportunities to pair bison with craft beers.
Across America bison and beer are staples at brewpubs. In Hamilton, Montana, Bitterroot Brewing Company owner Tony Wickham pours pints of his nut brown ale, a smoky porter, and IPAs with bison burgers, made with meat raised in the Flathead Valley, home of the National Bison Range, just to the north.
"The darker, the hoppier, the more roasty and toasty flavors seem to go real well with the bison meat," he said. "We serve bison because it's something new, something different, something unique; like our beer selection."
Brewpubs like Upland Brewing Co. in Bloomington, Indiana and Broad Ripple Brewing Co. in Indianapolis also serve bison dishes raised by local ranchers. In Bloomington, a bowl of spicy bison chili makes a great one-two when enjoyed with a pint of Banshee Strong Scotch Ale. And, at Broad Ripple, their modest yet scrumptious bison burger is delicious with a pint of IPA.
Some brewpubs even tailor the names of their brews to their bison dishes. At the Gaslight Brewery and Restaurant in South Orange, NJ their juicy, satisfying bison burger goes great with—what else—the Bison Brown Ale.
Bison has a hearty, gamey flavor that is less bland than cattle. It goes particularly with toasted caramel and delicate, sweet malts.
Bison is good for you. The meat is far higher in protein and iron and far lower in fat and cholesterol than beef. Because it is so lean, bison is best prepared medium rare, lest it get too dry.
Bison are also good for the earth. Bison evolved in North America, so their systems are perfectly suited for the climate here. Cattles' ancestors evolved in Eurasia and the swamps of India, which is part of the reason why some strains of cattle need to be pumped full of hormones and antibiotics to survive on America's high plains. Bison forage fine on native grasses and even though those on ranches are undomesticated and wild, federal law prohibits them being shot with any growth hormone. Also, bison produce far less greenhouse gasses than cattle.
Jim Matheson, assistant director of National Bison Association in Westminster, Colorado, and a homebrewer calls bison, "a very sustainable, local, natural product which fits in well with craft brewers."
Bison are a perfect fit in the culture of craft brewing. Both hearken back to bygone American days, yet both are enjoying a renaissance thanks to modern, individualistic and entrepreneurial folks. Eating buffalo and drinking craft beer are acts that are at once romantic and patriotic, plus simultaneously good for local business and kind to the environment. Plus, every bison burger ordered helps grow the market for bison meat, which is why there are half a million bison in America today, more than at any time since the 1870s.
So, next time you're at a brewpub order a hunk of buffalo and a dark brew. Close your eyes and enjoy a taste of the past—maybe the future too.

The economies of the nation's cities are starting to bounce back from the recession and grow again, but state and federal governments must increase their spending on infrastructure to help that growth continue, according to the U.S. Conference of Mayors, which released an economic report Thursday.
The report, prepared by IHS Global Insight, forecasts that 300 of the country's 363 metropolitan areas will undergo real economic growth by the end of the year. The total gross metropolitan product grew by 1.7 percent last year and expanded in 267 metropolitan areas. This year, the report predicts, the average growth of all 363 areas will be just below 1.8 percent.

Deisler said a key partner of downtown who was instrumental in helping develop the Arcadia Creek Festival Place, stepped up to provide funding for the equipment.
"He is adamant that if you make it an exciting place for children then you bring the mothers, then you bring more shoppers," Deisler said. "He's adamant that these little amenities support retail and support business downtown."
The equipment is spaced out on the Kalamazoo Mall. A green frog sits at the corner of the Kalamazoo Mall and South Street, in front of the MLive/Kalamazoo Gazette building. A light grey seal is in front of Kalamazoo Custom Tailoring & Alterations, and a yellow turtle is located on the mall sidewalk next to Keystone Bank at the corner of West Michigan Avenue and the Kalamazoo Mall.
Deisler said the animals will likely be on the mall through the summer. Eventually they likely would be moved to the festival site or a green space downtown.
"The funder's goal is to put in something a little more permanent and a little more fitting in terms of design on the mall," Deisler said, noting that would require fundraising for new equipment.

Haunt me in my dreams if you please
Your breath is with me now
And always it's like a breeze
So should you ever doubt me
If it's help that you need
Never dare to doubt me
And if you want to sleep I'll be quiet like an angel
As quiet as your soul could be
If you only knew you had a friend like me
So should you ever doubt me
If it's help that you need
Never dare to doubt me

Post and Courier special projects reporter Tony Bartelme, whose penetrating look at the insurance industry helped readers understand the complicated issues causing their rates to go up, was named a finalist Monday for the Pulitzer Prize.

Bartelme was among three finalists for the award in the Explanatory Reporting category that went to the staff of The New York Times for its look into business practices by Apple and other technology companies. The reporting illustrates the darker side of a changing global economy for workers and consumers.
Bartelme's year-long series, "Storm of Money," was named as a finalist in a category that the Pulitzer Board says must demonstrate "reporting that illuminates a significant and complex subject, demonstrating mastery of the subject, lucid writing and clear presentation, using any available journalistic tool."
The other finalist was Dan Egan of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for his exhaustive examination of the struggle to keep Asian carp and other invasive species from reaching the Great Lakes and ultimately all of the nation's inland waters. This is the second time Bartelme has been named as a finalist for journalism's top honor. He was one of three Pulitzer Prize finalists in the feature story category in 2011 for his series about a Medical University of South Carolina neurosurgeon's work to teach brain surgery in Tanzania.
"Storm of Money" detailed the mysterious world of property insurance and how and why homeowners are forced to pay such high insurance rates in South Carolina and other states. Bartelme used a deft mix of narratives and data that exposed how many insurance companies use fear, technology and political muscle to shortchange consumers. His reporting revealed how insurance companies use "black box" computer programs to control the flow of billions of dollars in rates and claims with little or no scrutiny from government regulators.
The series explored the Byzantine world of reinsurance companies and how offshore conglomerates are largely responsible for high home insurance premiums. It described the secret ways insurance companies manipulate software to boost profits at the expense of people who have been injured.
Bartelme's work also exploded a myth that insurers have long used to justify rate hikes — that South Carolina is a catastrophe magnet.
"We are proud of the work Tony has done, and for him to be recognized as a finalist speaks to the breadth of this series," Post and Courier Publisher P.J. Browning said. "This is not something that just happens. It takes long hours of research and lots of conversations to dig through an issue this big.
"Through his coverage he has given this issue the kind of attention it needs to gather steam and push insurance reform through that will benefit our residents."
Executive Editor Mitch Pugh said, "This is a tremendous honor for Tony and the entire Post and Courier. Tony's work in one of the most competitive Pulitzer categories truly stands out for how clearly he explained the complex factors leading to South Carolinians' outrageous insurance bills. Better yet, legislators were listening and his important work may lead to meaningful change."
Like most good stories, Bartelme's series began with a tip, in this case from retired CEO Daryl Ferguson, who spent two years of his retirement studying insurance and hurricanes and challenged the newspaper to explain why the state has some of the highest insurance premiums in the nation.
Ferguson said Bartelme's award is wonderful because the series "truly changed history in the state" where there was no realization of the insurance problem. After the series, he said, "it went viral."
That challenge evolved into Bartelme's revealing examination of the insurance industry's surprisingly complex mix of money, science and medicine. The series showed that the industry often gets away with unnecessarily high price increases and unjustified claim denials because South Carolina insurance regulators typically have been asleep at the switch, or worse.
In perhaps the most illuminating part of the series, Bartelme crafted a suspense novel-like story called "The Insider" about a high-level Allstate executive in Chicago who "tuned" a computer software program called Colossus so it spit out less money for people hurt in car accidents. The insider would suffer pangs of guilt and become a key whistleblower in consumer battles against the insurance industry's pricing tactics and its failure to live up to its promise to make people whole when they suffer losses.
In addition to the stories, the newspaper developed new online search tools to help consumers better compare home insurance rates, something other state insurance departments have on their websites but our state lacks. The newspaper's digital platform also had videos and interactive maps about insurance rates and the state's historical vulnerability to hurricanes.
Helping readers understand an industry that lacks transparency was one goal of the series, but public service was another: to help lift the veil that shields the industry and to help improve consumer protection. The series recently won the S.C. Press Association's top award for public service.
Until "Storm of Money," property insurance wasn't anywhere near the radar of most state lawmakers. In the wake of the series, the S.C. Department of Insurance convened a panel of experts to examine the "black box" catastrophe models that affect rates.
Lawmakers held up the confirmation of a new state insurance director because of concerns about rates and the department's hands-off role. The new director vowed to improve the department's website and examine other home insurance issues identified in the series.
Lawmakers also introduced a new bill dubbed the "Competitive Insurance Act" to boost competition and lower rates. State senators formed a new insurance subcommittee. And retirees and real estate leaders formed a new grass-roots group to address high rates.
The series generated follow-up stories in The Wall Street Journal and the Chicago Tribune and in news organizations across South Carolina.

Much work must be done to prepare our population against the ravages of possible enemy attack so that national survival may be ensured. The "mass casualty" doctrine properly assumes, for planning purposes, that the casualty load will be overwhelming and that it cannot be managed by available medical manpower alone. It seems certain that our survival may depend largely on the individual citizen's ability to render effective first aid and support to himself, his family, and his neighbors. Members of the medical profession, with the help of allied paramedical professional groups, must, however, provide the leadership both in training the populace and in actually performing the task at hand. Initially, at least, specialization will cease to exist and all doctors of medicine (and others as well) of necessity will become traumatic surgeons. Here again, good training is prerequisite to success, and good training begins with fundamentals.

Extremism in America
Latest Updates
Ku Klux Klan - History
Birth of the Klan
Six college students founded the Ku Klux Klan between December 1865 and the summer of 1866 in the town of Pulaski, Tennessee. Former Confederate officers, the six young men organized as a social club or fraternity and spent their time in horseplay of various types, including wearing disguises and galloping about town after dark. They were surprised to learn that their nightly appearances were causing fear, particularly among former slaves in the area. They quickly took advantage of this effect and the group began a rapid expansion. Various factions formed in different towns, which led to a meeting in April 1867 to codify rules and organizational structure.
Nathan Bedford Forrest
At this meeting, former Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest was elected Grand Wizard, or supreme leader, of all the Klan. The organization was divided into a number of realms, dominions, provinces and dens, which were in turn led by Grand Dragons, Titans, Giants and Cyclopes.
The policies of Reconstruction -- aiming to extend the rights of Southern blacks -- had the unintended effect of pushing hundreds of resentful and anxious veterans into the Klan, which soon began instituting a systematic policy of violence in opposition to the new social order. Former slaves were the obvious target of this terrorism, but the Klan also harassed, intimidated and even killed Northern teachers, judges, politicians and "carpetbaggers" of all ilk. By late 1867, the movement had spread throughout the small towns of the South, though it did not take hold in urban areas, perhaps because at that time the cities were not suffering the economic hardships of rural regions. Klansmen began waging guerilla warfare against what they perceived as a corrupt system depriving them of rights. This feeling of grievance, which began during the time of the first Klan, would characterize Klan sensibility and ideology throughout the 20th century.
By 1869, internal strife led Klansmen to fight against Klansmen as competing factions struggled for control. The Klan's increasing reputation for violence led the more prominent citizens to drop out and criminals and the dispossessed began to fill the ranks. Local chapters proved difficult, if not impossible, to monitor and direct. In disgust, Forrest officially disbanded the organization and the vast majority of local groups followed his lead. Some number of local units continued to operate but were eventually disbanded or sent into hiding by federal troops.
The First Klan Revival
In 1915, William J. Simmons, a lifelong joiner of clubs, was inspired to reorganize the Ku Klux Klan after seeing the movie "Birth Of A Nation," D.W. Griffith's spectacular account of Reconstruction, told from the perspective of the Klan and adopting the group's mythic vision of a noble and pristine antebellum South (the movie's loathing of blacks is extraordinary to a modern eye and was highly controversial even at the time; President Woodrow Wilson captured the sensation of the film's release -- even as he validated its message -- when he famously declared that the movie was "like writing history with lightning."). Dissatisfied with the many fraternal organizations of which he was a member (or by his lack of control over those groups), Simmons sought to establish his own organization dedicated to "comprehensive Americanism." When "Birth of a Nation" opened in Atlanta, he ran an advertisement for the Klan next to the movie's ad in the Atlanta newspaper.
The timing was perfect. The United States was struggling to meet the challenges imposed by a massive influx of immigrants, many of whom were Catholic or Jewish and few of whom spoke English. Appealing to the middle class and claiming to be a "purely benevolent" club, the Klan drew members immediately. When the United States finally entered World War I, the group capitalized on the conflict by promising to defend the home front against "alien enemies, slackers, idlers, strike leaders and immoral women," as well as African Americans, Catholics and Jews.
Simmons hired publicists Edward Young Clarke and Elizabeth Tyler to help advertise and recruit in 1920, and in the ardently xenophobic atmosphere of post-World War I America Klan membership soared. Becoming more strident, the group now articulated opposition to "Ni--ers, Catholics, Jews...dope, bootlegging, graft, night clubs and road houses, violation of the Sabbath, unfair business dealings, sex and scandalous behavior." By 1921, the Klan numbered almost 100,000 members and money flooded its coffers. At its peak in 1924, 40,000 uniformed Klansmen paraded through the streets of Washington, D.C., during the Democratic National Convention. Like a modern political lobby, the group was so influential that many politicians felt compelled to court it or even to join, particularly in the Midwestern states. Senators, congressmen, governors, judges at all levels, even future President Harry Truman donned the hood and robe (though Truman shortly quit, apparently disgusted by an anti-Catholic tirade).
As the Klan grew, so did the number and intensity of violent acts committed by its members. The group's image suffered; the hypocrisy of a self-proclaimed "law and order" organization that utilized lynchings and vigilantism did not escape public censure. Additionally, the central leadership proved incapable of effectively controlling the organization's fringes, largely due to their own infighting and competition over the enormous revenue the organization was generating. Scandal followed scandal and the rank-and-file became alienated by the sexual and alcoholic exploits of its leaders. By the outbreak of the Great Depression in 1929, the Klan had fragmented into dozens of independent realms and membership plummeted.
World War II to the 1970s
Prewar alliances with organizations like the German Bund led to desertions from the ranks and the post-World War II era of unprecedented prosperity further dissipated interest in and support for the Klan. The last of the universally recognized Imperial Wizards, Dr. Samuel Green, died in 1949.
Several leaders throughout the 1950s and 1960s attempted to reunify the movement, but none were successful. Most Klaverns (local units) remained stubbornly independent, although the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s encouraged some unification into independent realms of varying sizes. Outrage over the rising fortunes of African Americans and the perceived inaction or even cooperation of whites led to an increase in membership. At the same time, American society seemed consciously to turn against the Klan during this period as never before. This shift was most clearly reflected in the new commitment by the F.B.I. and other law enforcement agencies, both local and federal, to monitor, infiltrate and disrupt the Klaverns.
The 1970s to early 2000s
Fragmentation, decentralization and decline characterized the Klan during this time period, though there was a brief Klan revival in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Many of the Klaverns remained at least nominally independent, although a few were attached to national organizations. These national Klans, which were a pale shadow of the organization's former self, included the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the Knights of the White Kamelia and the Imperial Klans of America. Taking a cue from David Duke, former Imperial Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1970s, many attempted to "mainstream" their image by using euphemisms instead of racial epithets, talking of pride in their "heritage" rather than hatred of other groups and participating in state-run good-citizenship initiatives, like "adopt a highway" cleanup programs. At the same time, other Klan groups adopted camouflage uniforms and paramilitary activities.
Many Klan groups also adopted Christian Identity beliefs. They feared the "New World Order," believed Jews and liberals were attempting to outlaw their religious practices, and considered gays and other "deviants" to be forcing their lifestyles into the mainstream. Although many Klansmen received food stamps and other forms of government assistance, they continually raged at African Americans who received "welfare" and accused them of "sucking the blood out of hard-working real Americans."
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Klan groups increasingly aimed their racist invective at immigrants, particularly Hispanics, who were settling in a number of American cities for the first time in the history of those cities. The anti-immigration theme once again became a major issue used by the Klan to both recruit new members and attract publicity.

How about enlarging the code window?
1 Attachment(s)
Code window is a bit on the small side, and there's loads of wasted space to its right. Scrolling left/right/up/down makes it really difficult to read even trivial code samples.
If you're really clever you could let it be resizable...
However I'd vote for extending it to match the code, up to reasonable limits, obviously no wider than the browser window but it should take the browser size into account, and the length could be increased as well if need be (maybe up to a maximum of 40 lines of code?)
Attached screenshot showing at least where the code window should extend into (IMHO) :-)
Re: How about enlarging the code window?
Let me get my HTML Cap on and its a good suggestion.
Re: How about enlarging the code window?
Done. It now takes 60% of the available space.
If you see any problem in any page related to code block please do let it know here.

You've probably already heard that Chrome for Android Beta launched today. This new browser is based on the Chromium open source project, and brings with it many of the latest HTML5 features that Chrome developers have come to know and love. For an overview of the new hotness, see the launch announcement on blog.chromium.org and a more detailed overview on code.google.com. I'll quickly go through the stuff I personally find most interesting:
UI Improvements
Chrome for Android makes it easy for developers to create modern mobile web user interfaces using fixed positioning, and
overflow: scroll for individually scrollable elements. In addition, native-like scroll behavior is enabled by default. Chrome for Android supports the old flexbox model, though be aware that the original flexbox model is deprecated in favor of a new one. Also supported are DateTime pickers, and early support for
<input type="range">.
Fast graphics
Chrome for Android also supports hardware accelerated canvas, and performs quite well. There's also support for requestAnimationFrame, which is important for mobile, letting the browser decide when to render, giving it a chance to manage battery life more efficiently in GPU intensive applications. Chrome for Android introduces a slew of other notable HTML5 features including File System API, IndexedDB, Web Workers and Web Sockets.
Remote debugging
Hands down, my personal favorite feature of Chrome for Android is remote debugging through the Chrome Developer Tools. Remote debugging makes it very easy for web developers to debug their application as it's running live on their mobile device, without having to resort to clever hacks such as Weinre. Here's a quick screencast showing this feature in action:
For more information about remote debugging, see this remote debugging article.
Try Chrome for Android Beta for yourself by downloading it from the Android Market. If you've written a mobile web app to use a feature, but Chrome for Android doesn't support it, keep in mind that this is a beta release, and see if this is already a known issue, and star it if it is. Otherwise, please log a bug via new.mcrbug.com.
I'm stoked about the positive impact Chrome for Android will make on the mobile web developer community, and looking forward to see the great things we can build together! If you have additional questions, see if they are already answered in this FAQ. Otherwise, if you have a Chrome-specific mobile web development question, please post it on Stack Overflow, tagged with the google-chrome and android tags.

Do-it-yourself photo kiosk for multi-media cell phones
Wednesday July 9, 2003
Fujifilm has announced plans for a new do-it-yourself Digital Photo Centre kiosk that allows consumers to print photos taken on mobile phone cameras. The Digital Photo Centre will be able to extract images from multi-media memory cards as well as via infrared reader so that consumers can simply point their phone at the Photo Centre, download photos and order a quality print at the touch of a button.
The Digital Photo Centre is designed for fast, simple entry without the need for a keyboard or mouse and aims to provide consumers with "hands-on" digital developing features including red-eye reduction, colour balance adjustment, image zoom, rotation and cropping. Photo calendars, ID photos and greeting card formats are also available.
Hanimex Managing Director, Dave Marshall, said with the anticipated growth in multi-media cell phones set to escalate, together with the pending release in Australia of a 1 megapixel cell phone camera, Fujifilm will be well equipped to accommodate the increasing demand for cell phone photos.
Digital Photo Centre kiosk already caters for xD Picture cards, SmartMedia, CompactFlash, as well as Memory Sticks, SD cards, PC cards, Zip disks, CD-Rs and FUJICOLOR CD.
"Before the end of this year, the Fujifilm Digital Photo Centre kiosk will be equipped to accommodate prints from any brand of multi-media cell phone in addition to an extensive range of media cards," Mr Marshall said.


text: Dmitri Pushkin was an Ukrainan soldier who joined the Rocket Red Brigade in the Soviet era. During a clash with the Justice League in Siberia, his front teeth was kicked out by the Black Canary (II), something that kinda foreboded his eventual joining the Justice League International, where he remained a member in good standing for a long time. Dmitri's original armor was destroyed by Lobo and replaced with a more powerful one, built on Apokolips. When the JLI disbanded, Dmitiri returned to the Ukraine to spend more time with his wife and children. He was last seen in action fighting an Imperiex probe during the "Our Worlds at War" event. He later attended Sue Dibny's funeral as a civilian.

Sometimes, it can be difficult being a 'one-man show' but it doesn't always have to be.
Those of us who work from home are often presented with frequent and interesting challenges.
Trying to do everything myself has taught me some valuable lessons about my own strengths and weaknesses.
Over the years, there were times when I felt utterly burned out or bombarded by information overload and that can have a paralyzing effect.
Here are a couple tips on how to help avoid this from happening:
Don't let your pride get in the way!
I'm a Graphic designer by trade, so naturally, I've always wanted to do all the graphics myself, while attempting to juggle all else that comes with running an online biz.
Until recently, I never would have considered outsourcing but it has saved me immeasurable amounts of time.
If you look around, there are plenty of highly gifted designers and other pros that are competitively priced.
Today for example, I hired a copywriter to help finish up a site I'm building for my wife. Can I write copy myself? Yes. Do I suck at it? Well, I'm definitely not a pro and the time saved coupled with the work done by a pro makes it all worth it to me in the long run.
The Warrior forum, Digital Point and Fiverr are great places to find your 'hired guns'.
Don't be afraid to ask for help
Network with like minded people and ask questions. Chances are, someone else has been where you're at and has an answer.
If not, they may even be able to point you in the right direction to someone that does.
Avoid entanglements and drama
Sounds silly, but the fact is, not everyone will like you and you wont like everyone you come into contact with either.
That's ok! Just move on and don't allow it to occupy more time than what it's worth. Never lose sight of your goals or the bigger picture.
Don't expect everything to be free
This mindset still seems to be quite common in the online world.
While there are many great things that are free, the reality is that it does cost money to run a successful online biz.
Afterall, this is a business you're running and not a hobby, right? It deserves to be treated like a business, so if you aren't willing to spend a few bucks on it, why should your customers? So set aside a few bucks to spend on the essentials.
Stay organized
I'm a bit old-school in some ways. I like things I can actually see and touch because Im a visual person, so I always write a detailed 'To-do' list on a blank sheet of paper and keep it on my desk where I can see it.
As the day goes on, I make an effort to check off the items on this list and sort of make a game out of it.
I also have a white board hanging on the wall containing my long-term goals which do not require immediate attention.
In closing, I just want to point out that some of the most successful online businesses are made up of people that each have unique talents to bring to the table.
Since you're flying solo, remember to keep the points above in mind. I can almost guarantee that you will be far more productive in the end and being overwhelmed will be one of your least concerns.
Until next time, keep on rockin,

2012 S&P Dividend Aristocrats
|Email Print
Every year around the middle of December, the S&P announces the additions and deletions to its list of Dividend Aristocrats. To becomes a member of the Dividend Aristocrats, a company must increase its annual dividend payment every single year for twenty five consecutive years. If you don't increase it, you fall from the list and you won't get a chance to get back for twenty five years. It's a pretty high bar to reach but there are plenty of blue chip household names on that list (and a few you've probably seen on the side of trucks rolling around town). It's a popular list to be on because a lot of people looking for dividend stocks often start there.
The S&P announced a small change to their eligibility rules starting in 2012 (with this list) – only regular dividend payments will be considered for index eligibility purposes. Special dividends will not count and they will no longer count towards eligibility.
With ten additions and only one deletion, the current list has fifty-four companies on it.
2012 Additions
Last year, there were only three additions to the 2011 Dividend Aristocrats list, this year we can welcome ten companies into the fold.

- Illinois Tool Works Inc (ITW)
- Genuine Parts Company (GPC)
- Medtronic Inc (MDT)
- Colgate-Palmolive Company (CL)
- T Rowe Price Group Inc (TROW)
- Franklin Resources Inc (BEN)
2012 Deletions
Only one company fell off, CenturyLink Inc (CTL), after it ended a thirty seven year run of dividend increases. Last year we saw the fall of Eli Lilly & Co and Integrys Energy Group after a 42 and 51 year streak, respectively, so it's nice to see only one name grace this section of the article.
2012 Dividend Aristocrats
Here are your 2012 Dividend Aristocrats!

Kevin Durant is ESPN.com's No. 1 fantasy player for 2011-12 but two Thunderers are moving up too: "Every year, we see a few players make great strides in the playoffs and ride that confidence into a breakout in the following season. This year it was Harden, who posted averages of 13.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.4 3-pointers in 17 postseason games. More importantly, the Thunder were at their best when Harden was on the court as the third scoring option behind Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. His playoff numbers were no fluke. In fact, Harden posted 15.8 points with 1.7 3-pointers and 1.2 steals in 28 games after the All-Star break last season. Look for a bump in minutes in 2011-12, and do not be surprised if Harden is one of the season's biggest breakouts."
Wesley Morris for Grantland didn't know he was talking about Serge Ibaka when he called him the best dressed at the draft: "Still, with all due respect to Walker, he came in a somewhat distant second. When Stern announced that the Congolese Bismack Biyombo would be going to Sacramento, a dapper gentleman stood up to hug him. This someone wore a perfectly tailored salmon-colored suit and an open shirt, and, if memory serves, nothing in the jacket pocket. Either way, it was million-dollar perfection. I don't know who this man is or he even if plays basketball, but if the scouts have any sense they'll track him down and make him an offer."
Thunder fan Chris Bils isn't apologizing for being a bandwagoner: "If being a fan of the Oklahoma City Thunder makes be a bandwagon fan, so be it. It's better than being a fan of a team that went 19-63 last year and just wasted the fourth pick of the draft on Tristan Thompson (sorry Cleveland). I have found that being a bandwagon fan in the NBA is the way to go. I am a bigger fan of the NBA in general since becoming a Thunder fan and I followed this year's playoffs closer than I ever have before. The NBA might be more interesting than ever, and that has a lot to do with it, but it's a hell of a lot more fun when you root for a team that has the potential to win it all."
Is Chumlee from Pawn Stars a Thunder fan? (Maybe NSFW-ish)
Chad Ford's top 100 prospects for 2012.
Darnell Mayberry on Reggie Jackson: "For four days, most of us have been blinded by what position Jackson plays. It's time for us to clean up that clouded judgment. It's time we realize, once and for all, that clearly defined, traditional positions are largely meaningless, especially on a team as versatile as the Thunder. Reggie Jackson is a fit, and it's perhaps taken most of us too long to see how."
This graphic recapping the season from Hoopism is awesome.
Michael Dugat of Fox Sports Southwest on OKC's pick: "Barring something unforeseen, such as an injury or trade, this likely isn't a move to bear much weight in the direct future. Rather, it adds the asset of another talented player who should be allowed to grow into a role. His skills whisper the possibility of playing from both guard positions, and Jackson offers a small hint of insurance should Westbrook or Maynor not be retained (both have only the 2011-12 season guaranteed on their current contracts, though OKC does have a team option for the following season with Maynor). Of course, particularly with Westbrook, this is an insurance you'd have to prefer is never called upon."
Sam Amick of SI.com grades OKC's draft: "GM Sam Presti does as good a job as anyone of thinking two steps ahead, and that's what we saw with the Thunder's first-round pick. With a big payday around the bend for Russell Westbrook, it's looking likely that incumbent backup point guard Eric Maynor will be tough to hold onto once his rookie-scale contract expires in 2013. Enter BC's Jackson (No. 24), who was intriguing enough that Miami was trying hard to land him to compete with Mario Chalmers. Rival teams thought the Thunder had issued a promise to Jackson, and it appears they may have been right."

They may backstab on TV, but in real life, the cast of The CW's new teen drama Gossip Girl actually all get along. Really! They swear! We caught up recently with the show's stars—including Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford—and picked their brains about what makes their show so delicious to watch.
What makes the show work?
Blake Lively (Serena): There's so much great gossip, everybody's lives are intertwined with someone else...And my cast is, like, silly beautiful. It's just kind of ridiculous. Everything is just really fun. It's delicious!
Leighton Meester (Blair): Pretty much everything! We've got great writing, great cast, good people, great clothes, sexy scenes, great dialogue. Hotness. And scandals—total scandalous drama. Just wait, it gets better!
Penn Badgley (Dan): The greatest thing I've gotten from this so far is the friendships. And the fame. That'll be a great thing, too!
If you had your heart broken in real life, who would you call?
Chace Crawford (Nate): I've become pretty close with all of them. If I had to call a girl, it might be Blake. We're pretty close. It's nice!
Meester: I think all of us are pretty tight. I gotta say, I gotta go to my girls. I love Blake, I love Taylor, I love Nicole and Nan, so we're all really close-knit.
Taylor Momsen (Jenny): I'd probably just tell everyone at lunch! I'd be
like, 'This is so crazy!!' It's such great chemistry, I love it. We're a little family.
On filming in New York:
Lively: The fact that it's in New York City alone, it's like a character in itself. I know all my favorite movies are from New York because there's just this magical element to it.
Ed Westwick (Chuck): It's one of those cities I like. It's built up, you
can hop on the choo (the train) and go around, and there's always so much
going on. And it's intense, but a good intense.
Meester: You go to some place you don't really know very well. Everybody's kind of new, and we're starting something and we have no idea what to expect. But it's a ride.

My mom is paying for a big family cruise. (!!! Yay!) It will most likely be to Mexico. I've never been on a cruise before, so I am VERY excited! Its a while away, so we have time to plan. Of course, it is RIGHT when we were planning on having our next child. So we've come up with three alternatives.
Would you rather-
1) take a 3 mo old on a cruise.
2) be 6-7 months pregnant on a summertime cruise
3) Start trying after cruise, putting 4.5 yrs between your youngest and the new one. We plan on stopping at 3 kids, so it will be a big different.
My mom won't be changing dates, its not an option. Whats your answer? And go!

Above all, 2013 has been a disappointment for the Seattle Mariners. Safeco Field's new dimensions, a humongous Jumbotron and a power-laden roster were supposed to turn the Mariners into postseason contenders. Instead, they sit in fourth place in the A.L. West, on the verge of yet another 90-loss campaign.
But as always there have been some bright spots; some unknown players to step up and give the baseball world a reason to watch. And as is to be expected with a disappointing team, there have been players that simply haven't lived up to expectations.
Here are the five most surprising and disappointing players of 2013.
