1. Matt Ryan — Ryan's phenomenal showing in Week One has his fantasy owners believing that he's ready to make the jump to the elite level … or that he's there already. Ryan lit up the Chiefs for 299 yards and three TDs through the air. He even ran for 25 yards and a TD (and looked less heavy-footed than usual in doing so). Ryan spread the wealth among a trio of talented pass catchers, with Julio Jones, Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez each catching at least five passes and combining for 248 receiving yards. Ryan and the Falcons have a high-profile date with Peyton Manning and the Broncos Monday night in Atlanta. The Ryan-Manning duel promises to be compelling, and if Matty Ice comes out on top, it might reasonably be viewed as Ryan's rite of passage into stardom.
2. C.J. Spiller — Fred Jackson's knee injury means an instant windfall for the Spiller owners who own the shifty running back independently rather than as a handcuff to Jackson. Spiller now becomes the main man in the Buffalo backfield for at least three or four weeks, potentially longer. When Jackson broke his leg in Week 11 of last season, Spiller went on to average 105.5 yards from scrimmage over the Bills' last six games and also punched in five touchdowns. After Jackson's early exit last week, Spiller ran 14 times for 169 yards, including a 56-yard TD run, and caught two passes for 25 yards. This week, Spiller gets to face a banged-up Chiefs defense in Buffalo. The Bills are apt to give Spiller a healthy number of carries to ease the burden on Ryan Fitzpatrick after Fitz's three-interception flop against the Jets last week.
3. DeMarco Murray — Murray was terrific in the Cowboys' opening-night victory against the Giants, rushing for 131 yards and breaking off a 48-yard run that may have been the most memorable play from Week One. Murray served notice that he deserves to be ranked among the NFL's top running backs. (Excuse me, Chris Johnson … could you mind stepping aside and letting Mr. Murray through?) But Murray has a difficult matchup this week, with the Cowboys heading to the Pacific Northwest to face an angry bunch of Seahawks still smarting from their Week One loss to the Cardinals.
4. Joe Flacco — Is it possible that Michael Vick is the second-best quarterback in this weekend's Ravens-Eagles game? That idea might have seemed absurd a week ago, but after Vick threw four interceptions against the Browns on Sunday, Flacco used the no-huddle offense to flash-fry the Bengals on Monday, completing 21-of-29 passes for 299 yards and two TDs, with no interceptions. One good performance isn't enough to validate the former Delaware star as an upper-echelon NFL quarterback, but the preseason offered hints that we were about to see a new-and-improved Flacco, and his Week One performance was impressive to say the least. If Flacco can come up with a convincing encore in Philadelphia, his usage rate in fantasy leagues is going to skyrocket.
5. Wes Welker — There hasn't been this much weaponry stockpiled in New England since the days leading up to the Revolutionary War. Has Welker become the odd man out, or was his anemic stat line from the Patriots' opening-day win over the Titans an anomaly? Welker had three receptions for 14 yards. Newcomer Brandon Lloyd was more heavily involved in the New England passing game, as were TEs Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. But Welker should get more work this week when the Patriots host the Cardinals. Arizona's ace cornerback, Patrick Peterson, is likely to be matched up against Lloyd for much of the game, so Welker could quickly go back to being a high-volume target.
6. Frank Gore — A surprisingly frisky performance in the 49ers' win over the Packers suggests that some of us might have written off Gore too quickly. He ran 16 times for 112 yards, including a 23-yard TD run. But the rosy stat line obscured a couple of ominous signs for Gore owners. After catching only 17 passes last season, a figure well below his career average, Gore continued to be a nonfactor in the San Francisco passing game, with one reception for one yard. And while Gore was the Niners' primary rusher, backup Kendall Hunter had nine carries, indicating that the team is continuing to move toward a time-share in the backfield. Gore faces the Lions this week in the Sunday-night game and will be trying to avoid the clutches of Lions DT Ndamukong Suh.
7. Stephen Hill — After an erratic preseason, the second-round draft choice out of Georgia Tech went off in his NFL debut, catching five balls for 89 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Is Hill for real? And even if he is, will his fantasy value be strangled by the Jets' quarterbacking? A tough matchup this week against the Steelers in Pittsburgh should provide additional clues.
8. Michael Vick — Remember the old Nike ad in which fans rode a roller coaster that replicated the experience of playing football the way Vick plays? Vick rode a roller coaster of his own last week, with 317 passing yards, two TD passes, four interceptions and a completion rate barely above 50 percent in the Eagles' come-from-behind win over the Browns. Vick's ride won't slow down this week. He faces a still-imposing Ravens defense that put the clamps on Andy Dalton and the Bengals in Week One. And Vick might not have the services of WR Jeremy Maclin, who's dealing with a hip injury. A few more performances like last week's, and we might start referring to Vick as a poor man's Robert Griffin III.
9. Demaryius Thomas — Playing his first regular-season game with Peyton Manning, Thomas had a 71-yard TD catch and finished with a receiving line of 5-110-1 in the Broncos' 31-19 win over Pittsburgh. Early indications are that Manning is just the man to tap into Thomas' big-play capabilities, and Manning might need to tap himself a tall glass of Demaryius when the Broncos visit Atlanta on Monday night, since the Broncos will need to keep up with a Falcons offense that has been hitting on all cylinders since the start of the preseason. The task of slowing Thomas got harder for the Falcons with the announcement that highly capable CB Brent Grimes will miss the rest of the season with a torn Achilles tendon.
10. Hakeem Nicks — Nicks had a quiet opener, catching four passes for 38 yards in the Giants' home loss to the Cowboys. Nicks and Victor Cruz were bottled up by the Dallas CB duo of Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne, but both receivers should fare better this week at home against the Buccaneers. If Nicks has another mediocre stat line, his owners might have reason to be concerned that the effects of a May foot injury are still lingering.

Responsive jQuery plugin – FlexSlider feat. Kwiks
Like we said before, developers on our team really like to experiment with responsive websites. Here is one of our latest works.
A lot of times we use FlexSider and Kwicks – for our projects. These are very simple tools and reliable plugins for responsive projects.
What we did was combine these 2 plugins. Kwicks accordion for high resolution screens and FlexSlider for screens with smaller dimensions.
We hope that this solution finds you well for your future websites. Good luck!
UPDATE: Internet Explorer 9 bug fixed. We've added a five slide version, check it out here

Hoh can we fix the IE9 problem? Thanks
TomazDecember 4, 2012 at 10:17 am /
Huh, thanks a lot, that's really a pleasant surprise. Btw, did you need to fix only .css files or .js also? Is maybe old version still available for download somewhere so I could compare them?
I'm learning web-development, so I try to collect those browser-dependent scripts together to use the code in future projects.
Thanks again, have a nice day…

Hi, I really love the 5 slider version, but I have blank spots in the middle of my slider when I slide the photos to the left and at the left end of the slider. Can I adjust the overall viewing area or do I need to have a certain width of photo? Some of my photos also vary in width by about 30 pixels.
tsteinhMarch 25, 2013 at 6:48 pm /
Wonderful plugin, but I need 6 slides. I have it working for 5 using css you provided. I can see where to change css to support 6 (this was well documented in the css), but what else needs to change? I am getting white section between the 5th and 6th slide. Any assistance would be most appreciated!
tsteinhMarch 25, 2013 at 6:59 pm /
OK, my bad! It is only a css modification. Just need to make sure the css width value adds up to 100% when you add up each panel's width percentage. Sorry for the false alarm! I was using 12% instead of 16.66% for 6 panels. Working now.

Benefit of using 'The Master Chef'
As you ages, the importance of having a good cooking skill becomes critical. More often than not, people eats junk for foods not so much for the love for it, but rather as a result of not knowing how to cook good food. This is a sad situation because these folks are using their money to buy something that's going to ruin their health. It becomes worse when you know that they could have learned some good cooking and baking skills if they have had some cooking class.

Nov. 12, 2013
By Brian Rice KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.- Communication is a skill on the football field that cannot be taught, it must be developed. It is perhaps the most important skill that a quarterback can possess and it's one that Joshua Dobbs has worked on from his first snaps in game action at Tennessee.
The development has progressed, but it hasn't always been an easy process. Like building a program brick by brick, Dobbs and his offensive line have had to construct lines of communication, lines that become clearer with every snap.
"I feel like he's grown every week," senior offensive lineman James Stone said. "When he came in during the Alabama game he showed great poise and he's had great communication with the offensive line throughout these weeks and I've seen a lot of improvement from him as he continues to grow."
Dobbs can feel the communication growing as well.
"I've learned a lot every time I step on the field," he said. "It's a learning opportunity, there's a lot we can take from the game and a lot we can continue to grow as a team. Those game experiences are really valuable. For receivers the timing has improved, for the line getting down our communication with what we're seeing on the field, making sure we're seeing the same things."
Most new quarterbacks have an opportunity to build that communication over the summer or as fall camp progresses. Dobbs didn't have that luxury. He entered the game against the Tide after an injury forced Justin Worley out of the lineup mid game with fellow quarterback Nathan Peterman already sidelined. With the two experienced QBs ahead of him in fall camp, Dobbs' snaps with the starters were limited.
"We worked with him, but didn't work with him as much as we did the older guys during training camp," Stone said. "To get in there and get a feel for each other, to make a connection between the offensive line and the quarterback, he's doing a great job trying to build that."
As the communication with his teammates has grown, so has the confidence in Dobbs from the Tennessee coaching staff. Dobbs has made impressive throws, but his ability to make plays with his legs has become a potent weapon for the Vol offense.
"We called a few more, that was just the way the flow of the game was going," Dobbs said of called runs for him in the Auburn game. "They worked with the looks we were getting and we were able to execute them and be successful."
In just three games, he has risen to be the team's fourth-leading rusher with 114 yards on 20 carries. Despite that total including sack yardage, Dobbs' average stands at nearly six yards per carry.
"They want me to be smart in the pass game and the run game and make sure I' protecting the football and going through my reads. If I have to pull the ball down and run, then to make sure I'm chinning the ball and protecting it."
The Volunteers have two games to get two wins and reach the team's stated goal of going to a bowl game. With the games ahead literally being must-wins, Dobbs doesn't feel additional pressure. The way he sees it, winning games is his job.
"I wouldn't say there's any pressure, " Dobbs said. "Every game is a must-win. That's our goal every time we go out, every time we step on the field. We need to take this bye week to go out and get better."

Steller's eiders are the smallest member of the four eider duck species. They breed in northern Alaska and Russia and winter from the eastern Aleutian Islands to lower Cook Inlet. The worldwide population of Steller's eiders has declined as much as 50% in the past 30 years, and in 1997 the Alaska breeding population was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.The Kodiak archipelago is the southeastern edge of the Steller's eider wintering range. In the early 1990's, Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge began aerial surveys to count flocks of eiders feeding in the shallow eelgrass habitats along the eastern side of Kodiak Island. In 2010, the winter count of Steller's eiders was 2,700, well below the average of about 4,000 birds seen on previous surveys conducted in 1992-1994 and 2001. Kodiak Refuge plans to survey for Steller's eiders every 5 years to determine the status of this species wintering along the eastern shoreline of the island.

Symptoms last longer than normal and may affect the child's daily life. No two children react to stress in the same way.
Children with traumatic stress have had one or more traumatic events during their life. Being involved in an accident or being the victim of violence can trigger traumatic stress. Even seeing something frightening can cause this kind of stress. Being in the hospital or going through medical treatments can also be a traumatic event for a child. Children who have had a trauma in the past are more likely to have symptoms if they have another traumatic event.
Children's reactions depend on a number of things. A child's age, personality and support people in their lives affect their response. Their ability to understand things will affect how they move forward in daily life.
It can be normal for children to have stress and react when they return to the place where the trauma occurred. They can have the same response the first time they repeat the same thing they were doing when the trauma occurred. For example, if they have been involved in an automobile accident, the first time they ride in a car again may be very stressful for them. Their heart may race, and they may start to sweat or cry. This is a very normal first reaction.
Some fears and feelings of distress linger for a longer time. They can include:
Child traumatic stress can be effectively treated by qualified clinicians. Early care may limit any long lasting problems with school, personal, social or family life.

The police have booked an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) worker, in less than a month, after the cyber wing started investigating the complaint that a miscreant had created a fake email id of AAP Chandigarh central observer, Roopinder Dhaliwal, and also sent her resignation letter.
The police said Sector 45 resident, Manpreet Singh, has been booked for sending the fake resignation mail from Dhaliwal's personal email id. Dhaliwal lodged a complaint against Singh.
The party had complained to the senior superintendent of police that the id, firstname.lastname@example.com, was being used to send misleading and malicious emails, including Dhaliwal's resignation.
The resignation email was copied to national leaders such as Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Chandigarh AAP candidate Gul Panag and the state committee.
The police registered a case of forgery and criminal conspiracy as well as 66- A (sending offensive messages through communication service, etc.), 66-C (identity theft) and 66-D (cheating by impersonation by using computer resource) of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000, against Singh.
The cops further said Singh and Dhaliwal were not in good terms with each other.

Pay off multiple invoices in one payment
Discover how to explain multiple client invoice payments through a single bank account credit transaction.
When you explain a bank transaction, you can alter the explanation amount (which by default is set to the full amount of the transaction).
This is how to deal with the situation when you receive one payment from a customer that pays off more than one invoice.
The transaction will initially show the full amount that the customer paid you in the 'Credit Value' field.
You need to change the amount in the 'Credit Value' field to match the amount of the first invoice that this receipt is paying for.
FreeAgent will have guessed an invoice to match this receipt to. If this is not the same as the invoice you had in mind when you changed the amount, select the cross next to the 'Invoice' field, and type into this field the same amount as you put into the 'Credit Value' field. FreeAgent will guess one or more different invoices. Choose the correct one.
When you have allocated this part of the receipt to the correct invoice, choose 'Create New Explanation'.
FreeAgent will then create a new transaction for the remainder of the receipt, which you can explain against the rest of the invoice(s) that the customer paid you for.
You can even mix debit and credit explanations against a single transaction (for example a mixture of invoices and credit notes) in the same way.
It's fine to have multiple entries explaining a single transaction like this - the only important thing is that the transaction is fully explained.

AZUSA - The master-planned community of Rosedale is off to a strong start this year.
Developers of the Azusa project, nestled in the scenic foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, sold 88 homes during the first quarter of 2012 and a total of 105 year to date.
"It's very exciting," said Carina Hathaway, vice president of marketing for Rosedale Land Partners LLC, the project developer. "We've had a tremendous amount of sales with our lower-priced products. We had 17 sales just last week."
Rosedale Land Partners - a new partnership between Brookfield Homes, Christopher Development Group and Starwood Capital Group - has managed to pump new life into a 518-acre project that had languished under its previous owners, Azusa Land Partners. That developer launched the project just before the nation's economy began sliding into a severe recession.
"They began the master-planned community in about 2006 and built 120 residences that were sold and occupied," Hathaway said. "Then the market got worse, the neighborhood stalled and they went into bankruptcy."
That left Rosedale with a partially finished community center and scores of empty lots.
"We took it over and got it out of BK in September of 2010," she said. "We took down the old signs and went through and weeded the lots. We also had a series of homeowner meetings. The people who had purchased homes here were pretty disappointed. They had a dream that had stalled. We were very honest with people and we set up a new plan and rebranded the community."
With the community center completed and more momentum building, Rosedale now offers eight new-home neighborhoods to choose from, and 20 model homes to tour. The neighborhoods offer a variety of floorplan designs that range from townhomes popular among first-time buyers, to luxury residences that are more sought after by move-up buyers. The units range in size from about 1,346 square feet to 3,900 square feet, with two to six bedrooms and two to 4.5 bathrooms.
Prices start in the high $200,000s and top out in the low $700,000 range.
Home builders at the project include Brookfield Homes, KB Home, LA Urban Homes and William Lyon Homes.
"We really like it - it's a great area," said Bong Kang, 38, who purchased his 2,700-square-foot home in January. "I like being close to the mountains, and we ended up having a nice view without having to pay for it."
Kang, a senior network engineer for NBC Universal, also likes the recreation center, which includes a fully equipped fitness room, junior Olympic swimming pool, spa, wading pool and outdoor fireplace.
"The weight room is really nice and they also have a nice banquet room that you can use for free," he said.
When Rosedale is completed it will include 1,250 homes, 10 neighborhood parks and a Metro Gold Line boarding station, among other amenities.

Joanna Mathers investigates a form of equine training that makes horse sense
In an arena nestled between rolling emerald hills, two horses are weaving between orange cones. Left and right, left and right they turn, before circling 360 degrees at the final mark and making their way back down the course. Their handlers (mother and daughter Wendy and Annika), jog beside them on foot, guiding them with barely perceptible movements. Watched over by instructor Russell Higgins, horses and handlers are calm, purposeful and happy in their task.
This is the Parelli Method in action. Devised by American Pat Parelli, this method of natural horsemanship is a huge departure from traditional horse training. "Rather than trying to bend them to human's will, Parelli teaches people how to understand the innate language of the horse," says Russell.
Based in Waikato, Russell is a four-star Parelli instructor who studied under Pat Parelli in Colorado in the early 2000s. He teaches workshops around New Zealand and internationally - today's course is being held in Muriwai, but he's taught as far afield as Dubai. Wendy and Annika are having a private lesson today, and I've been invited to watch.
From where I'm sitting, it looks pretty impressive. From the ground Wendy and Annika move their horses (Jimmy and Ngamuiti) backwards and forwards, side to side and diagonally forwards using the lightest touch of hand and stick, and the slightest movement of body. Russell explains and demonstrates each manoeuvre first, then it's up to Wendy and Annika. There are a couple of false starts, but horse and owner both progress rapidly; and it's a real team effort.
Wendy, Annika and horses have been training with Russell for some time now. Both riders were taught in the traditional method, and both were having problems with their horses. When Wendy heard about Russell from a friend, she jumped at the chance to try something new.
"Jimmy had been a bit of a wreck," says Wendy. "He'd been used as a showjumper, and had been given harder and harder bits. He would be constantly battling against them. They had actually damaged a bone at the top of his head. And Ngamu was terrified of the float."
The Parelli Method has changed both horses and riders for the better. "Jimmy is a different horse. He's calm and happy. And Ngamu has come a long way with the float."
The foundation of the Parelli philosophy sounds simple enough - horses are prey animals, and humans are the predators. "We try to make horses fit into the human world, when we should be trying to engage in their level," says Russell.
He elaborates: "Horses have everything they need to thrive in their natural environment - it's when humans are thrown into the mix that problems start occurring. So the best way to engage with a horse is to learn to 'speak' their language and learn to understand the world from their point of view. You need to understand your horse's horseanality [the horse equivalent of personality] and work with their strengths and weaknesses."
The Parelli Method has garnered followers worldwide. Practitioners come from all equestrian disciplines; Western, eventing, show jumping, dressage; but all share dissatisfaction with the disciplinarian style of traditional training, and a desire to forge a deeper relationship with their horses.
There has been some resistance to the method, with claims the cost of the products, courses and teaching materials is too high. But those who follow it say that the quality of teaching justifies the expense.
Watching Wendy, Annika, Jimmy and Ngamuiti, it's easy to see why the Parelli fan base continues to grow. Relaxed horses, happy owners - what more could you want from your equestrian experience?

Found a bizarre truck stop on the drive - Buckees. Well advertise along the interstate and worth a stop. We have never seen (and did not see again) an entire shop devoted to jerky - you could get if flavoured, smoked, spiced. You could get buffalo, elk, ostrich or boring old beef. You could get it in strip pieces, chunks or sheets. And it all looks a lot like the dried liver we feed the dog. You could also visit the bakery next door for a piece of pie to chae the jerky, if you were after something sweet. We kept our wallets in our pockets and just enjoyed the experience and the show. We love Texas.
Quickly on to Houston. Drive direct to George Ranch, a working cattle ranch. Although we have a later event booked for the ranch, we were interested in catching some of the cowboys at work. Zac dressed for the occasion, complete with buckskin cowboy outfit and coon skin hat (well, maybe more Davy Crockett than cowboy, but he felt pretty special).
And we felt even more special when it turned out we were the only guests visiting the ranch that afternoon. We have a private lecture by one of the cowboys about their role on the ranch and the history of ranching at George Ranch. Quite embarrassing for him when he could not move the cows through the mock-up tick dip. Cassandra's laughter probably did not help (but it was good natured laughter). An older cowboy swaggered across to help out. Good for the cows, they would not move for him either. Took them a solid 10 minutes work to get the first beast through. The rest did not put up a fight.
Zac also received personalized lasso lessons and he tried really, really hard but even the dummy cattle proved elusive, but you would have to give him "A" for effort. He really gave it a good go. For a bit of a laugh, I put the lasso around my wrists and pretended Zac had captured a bad guy. That almost backfired. Somehow (and I still don't know how) he had me roped up in a flash and only some quick thinking stopped me from landing flat on my face. Zac loved it.
Then it was time to catch up with Cassandra's Uncle Rod and Aunty Cheryl who kindly offered us a bed whilst we were in Houston. Zac was as shy as ever, but a front yard to play gridiron in was always going to be a hit with him. And a fantastic home cooked meal was something we were all grateful for - clean, great tasting and healthy food chased down with a nice glass of wine was a brilliant change from the chaos of the first seven days.
We all crashed pretty early. Pretty pleased to have arrived.
Drive 220 miles.

What I did
The opera house was inaugurated for L'Academie National de Musique in 1875. It took almost 20 years to built because the workers had a few construction delays. When they dug down to lay the foundation to the building, they found an underground lake. This lake is still under the opera house today, but is, unfortunately, not open to the public. Garneir decided not to drain the lake for two reasons: 1) the body of water gave great acoustics to the building. 2) if the opera house caught on fire, there would be water on hand to put it out instead of waiting for the 19th century firefighters
When novelist Gaston Leroux toured the opera house in the early 1900s, he took a particular interest in the lake. It sparked an idea for a novel, one that would become famous all over the world and throughout time, eventually becoming a musical in the 1980s thanks to a Mr. Andrew Lloyd Weber: The Phantom of the Opera. According to the building's legend, there really is a 'phantom' of sorts that exists in the opera house. With in the first few years of the house opening, may of the singers were recorded on vynal records. Someone, (I want to say Garneir, but i'm not sure), put some of those recordings in a case and hid them in a room in the house, which he then sealed off, leaving the instructions not to open it for 100 years. A few years back, (2008 or 9 i want to say), the time came for the wall to be taken down and door to be opened to the time capsule. When it was opened, the records were discovered and played; voices from 100 years in the past reverberated through the opera house as if they had never left: The Phantoms of the Opera house.
To enter the opera house, you have to enter through the back where there is a red carpet ramp and huge statues of Liberty and Charles Garnier
They are so smooth that, when we were descending the staircase to leave the house, Antonio and Kerem tried to slide down them. Neither one were very graceful, but it was entertaining to watch. If i spent a lot of time in the opera house, (because i was in a show or something), i would try to perfect the sliding method so that that would be my mode of transportation.
Anyway, back to the architecture. The lamps on the staircases are black statues of naked women holding small chandeliers, (now with light bulbs, but originally with candles - would have loved to see it then), and there are several balconies off the second floor
On our tour, we were also able to walk through the theater and the Hall of Mirrors. The theater is the most spectacular theater i have ever seen. All of the chairs are an elegant, red velvet, and the stage has a huge, classic, red curtain. A massive chandelier hangs from the ceiling, giving the round hall an old fashion look. The art above the chandelier is modern in a way that would be out of place in any other classical setting, but works here. The style is very similar a mural we saw in that terrible modern art museum in Saint Paul, (in Cannes). Although, this painting is actually good. The Hall of Mirrors in the opera house is designed after the Hall in the Palace at Versailles, sans mirrors. It is shorter in both height and length than the one in Versailles, but the design is similar with the chandeliers lighting the long hall. I actually like the opera house's more than the palaces; it glows like fire
Later that evening, most of the group went out to dinner for Afsy and Andrew's birthday. We used food vouchers that the program gave us to go to a fancy restaurant. We did not all arrive in one group, so as more people arrived, we had to add more tables to our group. In the end, we had six tables lined up in one long table, totaling 16, (three more than the reservation). The place was not very big, so we took up most of the space. The waiter probably was not too happy with us. We were served duck and snails and raw meat...well if someone ordered it...which they did. Everyone tried Catherine's raw meat patty and raw egg. It was nasty. Luckily, her meal came with mashed potatoes so she had something to eat. We made a discovery about drinks that night, too. Gigi ordered some whiskey "a la glace", (with ice), but either the waiter didn't hear her or he ignored her request because when her drink arrived it was one shot amount of whiskey in a three shot class. Ice would have fit, but it just wasn't there. When we asked another day at the office, Jane told us it was because the french don't have their drinks with ice. That doesn't really make sense since that is how you keep drinks cold, but whatever. Our evening out was all together pretty great. It was good to have almost everyone together since we don't get to see much of each other all at once because we all have different classes. We were going to sing for Afsy and Andrew, but there were other people in the restaurant and we would have definitely been noticed.

FRHS Transfers Bedevil BCHS
The opening months at Beach Channel High School were marred this year by a spate of disruptive incidents, including drug possession, weapons possession, fighting, insubordination to school security agents and staff, and even an attack on the school's dean. Most of these incidents were perpetrated by students who were transferred to the Rockaway Park school from Far Rockaway High School, officials and school staff say.
In all, sources say, more than 50 students who are zoned to attend Far Rockaway High School because they live nearby showed up at Beach Channel High School in September with transfers in hand.
A Beach Channel High School staff member, who asked not to be identified because he had no permission to speak with the press, said that many of the transfers were problem students.
"Some of them had criminal records, some had been suspended for fighting and for theft," the source said. "Others were gang members in their home neighborhoods and were at war with the gang members at Beach Channel [High School] even before they got here."
The source told The Wave that two administrators at the school outlined the problems caused by the newcomers in a memo that was sent to Department of Education officials.
While this newspaper was denied access to the memo by DOE officials, a source at the school said that the memo detailed the problems caused by the transfers, including the 50 who came from Far Rockaway High School. In addition, 16 other transfers came to BCHS from alternative programs, including some who had been incarcerated. Eleven came from full-day special education programs, including the hospital day school program.
"[The transferred students] caused lots of mayhem in the building for the first few months," the source said. "From the beginning of September until mid-October, more than 25 of those students were involved in disciplinary actions, some of them very severe. They were a real problem."
Last month, the DOE placed BCHS on its list of "Impact Schools," those that require special attention and more school security resources.
That designation came after an incident where a Far Rockaway High School student got into the building and joined transfers from that school in beating another student in the cafeteria.
And, while the DOE admits that there were many problematic transfers to Beach Channel High School, a spokesperson said that the school was not being singled out in any way.
"Beach Channel has not been singled out as a dumping ground for troubled students," deputy press secretary Andrew Jacob told New York Times columnist Samuel Freedman. "I don't see how anyone can make the argument that one school is being favored or disfavored over any other."
He said that many of the Far Rockaway students were sent to Beach Channel simply because that school had open seats and is close to Far Rockaway.
"There is nothing out of the ordinary about the process of getting their transfers," he added. Any large high school in the city is going to be dealing with students from a wide variety of backgrounds."
David Pecoraro, the United Federation of Teachers chairperson at the school, however, was not too sure that the transfers were not intentional.
"Right now, things are quiet," Pecoraro told The Wave on Tuesday. "The math was there and we had major incidents with the Far Rockaway kids early in the year. Not all the kids, of course, but many of them caused major problems."
"I haven't figured out how [the transfer system] works; who comes here and who doesn't," he said. "The bottom line is that we're doing what we're paid to do - educating students."
"I don't know if the DOE didn't think about [the transfers]," he said. "The worst thing would be if they did think about it and they're planning for the demise of Beach Channel."
"If I really believed that they did it on purpose," Pecoraro added, "I would have blown V-8 about it because the people at the DOE are dealing with a subject they obviously know nothing about."

Interview: The Electric Sons- Playing @ Vinyl July 19th!
The Electric Sons are an Atlanta indie/electronic band founded by vocalist/guitarist, Andrew Miller and keyboardist/vocalist, Ben Richards.
The band formed in 2011 when Miller left his job as an illustrator for the FX Network series, "Archer," to team up with Richards, an advertising graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design. Miller and Richards quickly gained a following of local fans after releasing a home-recorded EP under the name "AM83". Energized by the grass roots success of the EP, the duo set their sights on releasing a follow-up EP. It was during those writing sessions that Miller and Richard's shared love for electronic music began to influence their writing. The result is their latest self-produced, <ahref="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-electric-sons-e.p.-ep/id522962540″>self-titled EP, The Electric Sons.
Since the release of the EP last May, the guys have received a huge amount of attention and praise, so much so that The Electric Sons are taking Atlanta by storm! Luckily, the duo spent some time chatting with us before their big show this Friday at Vinyl. Take a look at what they had to say!
You both seemed to be going in different directions in life. What encouraged you to stop what you were doing and start making music together?
B- You do the day job thing, you go to college and stuff like that. I always kind of felt like it didn't fit.
A- We're both very passionate about what we went to school for. We were definitely into it. When he and I met [at SCAD] it just sort of sparked this new musical world for me, personally, because he has a great mind for creativity and us collaborating really inspired me to really start focusing on music a lot more.
B- I'm flattered.
When did you have your "AH-HA" moment?
A- From my perspective, I don't really think, 'Is this really happening?' You just have to live in that moment and keep going.
B- The reception has been cool, people seem to really like what we're up to. It's humbling. It's really encouraging.
A- Something that we are really proud of was our first show at Vinyl because we had a lot of our friends and fans come out. I just never expected people to be that encouraging and that supportive.
Who are your greatest musical influences?
B- The more music you listen to, the more of a wider range the music you produce is. We listen to as much as we can and filter it and it comes out as our stuff.
A- In one of our songs, the Nelly Fertado melody worked its way in. That's how insane our brains are. It's really interesting to see what comes out. For me, I've been personally inspired by bands like Gorillaz, you know, I love the imagery in the stories. It's really well done and very colorful. I was really inspired by John Mayer early on, which really sparked my love for songwriting. Coldplay, I love the song writing that band puts together. I'd say Gorillaz, John Mayer and Coldplay for me. It sounds so lame to me, but it's cool, I like it.
What is your dream gig?
B- I'd love to do the O2 arena. I'd love to do some of the places in L.A. or Red Rocks, it's the coolest!
A- The Hollywood Bowl.
B- Who would we like to play with? U2 or Coldplay. Phoenix would be pretty awesome.
A- Opening for a band that's got this arena-rock feel. That would be so much fun to be in an environment where people are ready for you. Everyone's singing, everyone's ready for that kind of show.
How do you connect with a crowd when playing a show?
B- You have to take their hand a little bit. Sometimes it's up to you to get the crowd going, but sometimes the crowd gets you going. That's always the best. The other thing is we would take our shirts off which is usually a good way to get people going, we have pretty chiseled bodies.
A- I think it's just more shocking to the audience than energetic but it's what we do.
What do you think of the Atlanta music scene?
B- I think that there's a lot of potential here, because there are so many great bands that play here, but I don't think the city gets enough attention. It's interesting.
A- We just got back from California and we met with a few companies and people and all of their questions were, 'What is the music scene like in Atlanta?' I figured they would know. I feel like people don't necessarily know what kind of talent there is.
B- It's been the hip hop capital for so long and I think that's sliding off a little bit and there are all these other acts, that maybe didn't get attention before, that I hope people start paying attention to.
What are your upcoming plans?
B- We'd like to have a new EP sometime, maybe late summer.
A- We're writing new stuff!
Make sure to catch The Electric Sons playing at Vinyl this Friday, July 19 with Machines Are People Too and Fox Grin! Tickets below!

|st: one-sample chi square test
|Wed, 29 Jan 2003 12:20:24 -0500
Dear Statalist, I am using stata 7: I cannot seem to find a command for one-sample chi square tests for nominal data. I see the chi square 'functions' as well as two-sample chi square tests in 'tabulate', but 'tabulate' won't provide a one-sample chi square. 1. Specifically, I have a sample of 2700 people and have them categorized by a number of variables such as insurance type (4 categories), race (3 categories), drug class (4 categories), etc etc. For each of these variables, I want to test hypotheses that the sample is equally distributed across the categories (expected frequencies are equal). What is the command I should use? I saw an ado command 'chi2' (I think) but it was not clear how to use it. 2. Also, suppose, for example, I 'tabulate' a 3-category variable with a 4-category variable (all unordered categories) and get a significant chi-square for the resulting 3x4 table. For exploratory reasons, I want to test each of the rows using a one-sample test so that I can get a better idea of the specific location of the significance in the table. Does anyone know of a command that will automatically test and produce a 'p' value for each row (that is, a single command as opposed to me running a separate one-sample test for each row)?. Thanks, Wendell Joice * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

Selena Gomez was spotted grabbing lunch on April 21 and her subtle lip color grabbed our eye! She looked super casual and very natural with a nude lip — and you can get the look, too!
21-year-old Selena Gomez has been dealing with a lot of drama lately, but that doesn't come between her cravings for mexican food. While getting lunch at Casa Vega in Los Angeles, California, she wore a matte natural lip, and it was a perfect look for the spring! Find out how to get Selena's gorgeous look below.
Nude lips are always in style! They look super natural and flatter just about everyone. Selena was spotted on her way to lunch in LA on April 21, wearing an over-sized pair of sunglasses and a soft lip.
To replicate Selena's stunning lip color, we recommend the NYC City Proof Twistable Crayon in the shade Park Slope Peach. This lip crayon is super easy to use on the go with its crayon applicator. We love this product because it's very creamy and hydrating — it gives you that perfect shine and color! This lip crayon is also ONLY $3 and it smells like candy, now that's a double plus.
Her skin looked amazing too, and very bronzed — an easy look to do with NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder. It gives an easy, sleek look that keeps away the shine while showing off a sun-kissed, tan face.
Selena matched her nude lip with a casual spring outfit. She wore a cropped black muscle tee, a denim jacket, and some high waisted skinnies. She gave her casual look some spice with a pair of gorgeous black heels.
HollywoodLifers, do you love Selena's nude lip? Do you feel bad for what she's going through?

Teen Mom Amber's Daughter Leah Is Now A Ward Of The State! This Is Tragic
This is so sad. Little Leah Shirley has been made a ward of the state after her parents, Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley appeared in an Indiana courthouse today.
We hate to say it but we saw this coming. A judge ruled today that Teen Mom star Amber Portwood's daughter Leah, 2, is now a ward of the state. Amber, 20, and her baby daddy, Gary Shirley, appeared in an Anderson, Indiana, courthouse today for an emergency child placement hearing concerning their daughter. RadarOnline.com reports that this means that the Department of Child Services will now be overseeing Leah's well-being, even though she is technically staying with her father. Shortly after the hearing, DCS reportedly escorted Amber to Gary's house, so that she could have a one-hour visitation with Leah. The meeting was supervised by the DCS who have placed a six-month monitoring period on Amber following her assault on Gary, which was filmed by MTV cameras while little Leah was present.
Teen Mom's Gary: 'I Can't Raise Leah On My Own!'
The assault resulted in domestic violence charges being filed against Amber, who recently gave Leah to Gary in the belief that her daughter would be better off with him now. DCS has also been investigating Leah's living situation at Gary's house and has asked that certain changes be made. This isn't the first time Amber has been in the public eye for her parenting skills. She has been caught drinking underage, was filmed physically assaulting the father of her child, then boyfriend Gary Shirley and now is dating a mixed martial arts fighter who is known to like to drink and fight. We wish the best for baby Leah and hope the courts can decide what is truly best for her.

We report a comparative investigation of the antibacterial activity of two water-soluble fullerene derivatives bearing protonated amine (AF) and deprotonated carboxylic (CF) groups appended to the fullerene cage via organic linkers. The negatively charged fullerene derivative CF showed no tendency to bind to the bacterial cells and, consequently, no significant antibacterial activity. In contrast, the compound AF loaded with cationic groups showed strong and partially irreversible binding to the negatively charged Escherichia coli K12 TG1 cells and to human erythrocytes, also possessing negative zeta potential. Adsorption of AF on the bacterial surface was visualized by atomic force microscopy revealing the formation of specific clusters (AF aggregates) surrounding the bacterial cell. Incubation of E. coli K12 TG1 with AF led to a dose-dependent bactericidal effect with µM. The presence of human erythrocytes in the test medium decreased the AF antibacterial activity. Thus we reveal that the water-soluble cationic fullerene derivative AF possesses promising antibacterial activity, which might be utilized in the development of novel types of chemical disinfectants.

Treasuries Soar as Greece Concerns Intensify
Treasury bond prices are marching resolutely higher again Wednesday amid a flight-to-quality bid stemming from, well, Greece of course, as worries have intensified that Greece may be forced to exit the euro-zone. Ten-year notes are up 24/32 in price to yield 1.709%, according to Tradeweb data, while the 30-year bond has leapt 2 4/32 higher to yield 2.787%.
The Treasury is planning to sell $35 billion in 5-year notes Wednesday, and investors anticipate the sale may produce record-low yields amid the current flight-to-quality bid for government bonds.

Homeowner policies in Haywood could increase 28 percentInsurance companies request average rate increase
Haywood County residents could see a possible 28.3 percent increase in their homeowners insurance if a requested rate increase is approved. The hike is one opposed locally by at least one insurance business in town.
The North Carolina Rate Bureau, a nongovernment group that represents about 700 carriers in the state, has requested an average rate increase statewide of 25.3 percent for policies that cover homes.
The rate bureau requested the change be effective by Aug. 1, and the increase is now under review by the North Carolina Department of Insurance.
If the department and N.C. Rate Bureau cannot reach a consensus, it will be up to the State Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin to call a hearing and act as a hearing judge in a procedure where industry and state insurance department experts present for and against the increase. The process could take months.
Gary Lance, president of the LN Davis Insurance Agency in Waynesville, said the rate increase had been proposed because companies are losing money. If insurance companies cannot make money in a particular state, they tend to leave the state, which gives consumers fewer choices in buying insurance coverage, he explained.
"On a national level, companies are losing a lot of money on homeowner insurance," Lance said. "The losses are finally catching up with reality and so now the companies are really hurting. When I first came into business, people wanted to write property insurance, but now it has reversed, and auto insurance is profitable."
Lance agrees rates need to be adjusted, but believes 28 percent in Haywood is too high.
Historically, the Department of Insurance and the rate bureau have reached compromises on allowable rate increases which is less than the insurance companies have asked for, Lance said. He predicts the same result will occur this year.
"Usually they can reach a common ground so the situation doesn't have to go to court unless this particular commissioner wants to go to court," he said.
The homeowners insurance industry was granted a 7 percent increase last July after negotiating with the state Department of Insurance. The original request was a 17.7 percent increase, according to a spokesperson at the N. C. Department of Insurance. Companies have received several insurance rate increases since 2000.
The public will not be able to comment at a hearing, if one is held, but written public comments will be accepted through Jan. 31.
Lance recently sent in a letter to state officials in Raleigh opposing the rate increase, and encourages everyone else to make their opinion heard.
"I think the more they hear from constituents, the more likely we will receive some help as in rate reduction," Lance said. "I sent in a letter about consumers already being squeezed on every aspect. Nothing is going down. Everything is going up, and people can't afford this."
For local residents who would like to send in a written comment, Lance suggests expressing the difficulties people are facing after continued rate increases. He said to emphasize the 7 percent increase last year.
"So here we are with another rate increase," Lance said. "Everything keeps going up except people's income and it's getting difficult. Tough fixed income. We need to make people in Raleigh aware that this is hard to take continuously over and over again."
Lance's position is one that State Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin seems to support.
"I am appalled that the insurance companies would request another increase just six months later," Goodwin said in a statement. "I believe the insurance companies should withdraw this rate filing immediately. If they do not, the insurance companies should expect a full hearing on this matter; I will not entertain any settlement negotiations. I urge North Carolina homeowners to take advantage of the public comment period."
