If the NFL would immediately suspend a player for 7 games upon any type of 1st arrest across the board, all this nonsense would stop. 2nd arrest, 1 year no salary no exception. 3rd offense buh bye.....see ya....banned from the NFL.
This cuts out reporters, gossip, bickering, rumors, Code of Conduct abuse, everything.
Yet they suspend someone for legitimately & medically using Adderol. Ridiculous.
Code of Conduct priorites are very warped.

This silky lotion is the rare all-in-one product that meets our highest standards. The natural formula is free of all the most common skin allergens — 76 of them, to be exact — as well artificial fragrances, dyes, parabens, or preservatives. On the flip side, it's packed with gentle exfoliators and antioxidants that leave skin incredibly soft from head to toe. Note: Your other body lotions may experience intense jealousy.
It's amazing that this lotion can be free of so much of the bad stuff while managing to pack in so much good stuff. The only reason I won't be buying this is because I'm more of a basic body lotion user. I'd be afraid I would go to put this on after shaving and then cry from all the stinging because I forgot what was in it. I'll use this as my travel-size anti-aging cream for my face.2
There are so many lotions out there that feel the same and are nothing special. THis lostion on the other hand I was shocked to not like. It was too sticky for me. After it was on my skin for a little it became less sticky, but the initial aplication turned me off.2

If you're going to stay in for an evening of cheesy pop, camp presenters and political voting à la Eurovision, you may as well munch on the continent's finest cuisine.
That's ready meals of chicken kiev and meatballs, with Danish pastries for dessert, according to the latest figures from Waitrose. It saw sales of Danish pastries rise 17.5%, meatballs by 31% and chicken kievs by 45% in the Eurovision week to 18 May. Overall revenues through Waitrose's tills rose 9.4% to £115.3 million, excluding sales at its petrol stations.
The supermarket said the rise was because more Britons stayed in — not just for Eurovision, won by Denmark's Emmelie de Forest, pictured, but also for the final day of the Premier League. Sales of frozen pizza were up 13% in the week while speciality beer rose by 35%.
The "Chelsea bounce" due to the Flower Show taking place this week put flower sales up 21%. At sister department store JohnLewis, the tills rang up 8.8% more than the same week last year at £64.7 million. But the chain admitted that its furniture and homes division was "struggling to match the additional trade generated last year for the Jubilee and Olympic Games". Overall sales at John Lewis and Waitrose were 7.7% stronger in the week at £180.3 million.

Ugly Duckling Week - "Wallflower" from Girls' Love Stories #150 (April 1970)
In the rest of the "Ugly Duckling" stories this week, the leading ladies made transformations which helped improve their lives and catch their men. Tonight's story, "Wallflower" from Girls' Love Stories #150 (April 1970) involves a transformation gone awry!!!
Marcy Simms, a self-proclaimed "ugly duckling" and "Miss Unpopularity of 1970" is frustrated. She is frustrated by her inability to catch the attention of boys and especially one boy in particular -- Bill.
Marcy constantly spots Bill gallivanting around town with Barbara Peters. Consequently, Marcy hates Barbara. One night at a party, the oh-so-friendly Bill asks Marcy to dance. During their moment together, Marcy floats on air and convinces herself that Bill indeed is in love with her and not Barbara. When Bill thanks her for the dance and goes back to his date, Marcy is devastated and runs home. She decides that things have got to change.
And so, our "ugly duckling" begins her transformation. First comes the physical -- new clothes, a new hairstyle and new glasses (just when I had you thinkin' glasses were always shorthand for ugly in the romance comics, hehe!) to boot. Marcy's new look makes the boys swarm.
The new Marcy becomes quite popular with the boys -- too popular in fact! She begins to earn a bad reputation. This worries Bill and he takes her aside one day to chat. He acknowledges her change as being a positive thing for the most part, but that she is "too nice a girl" for such a bad rap. Marcy then throws herself at Bill -- promising to change and letting him know that she took such drastic measures in the first place just so he would notice her. Naturally, this freaks Bill out and he tries to explain that he was just trying to be a friend to her, but he had her all wrong. As he parts he suggests that in the future when she likes a guy, she should let him do the "chasing." Humiliated, Marcy vows, "All right, Bill Thomas, you win... for now! But before I'm through with you I'll make you wish you'd never met me!" And she isn't kidding!!!
Hell-bent on getting back at Bill, Marcy starts spreading rumors during a party that Bill has been cheating on Barbara with her for weeks.
Of course, everyone knows that Marcy is merely spreading ugly lies out of jealousy. Her popularity quickly fades and Marcy is left just as lonely as before her transformation.
One day, while Marcy sits alone on a park bench, Bill comes to talk to her again. He says he comes as a friend and wants to tell her the truth about herself -- warning her that it might sting. Conceding her miserableness, Marcy is all ears. Essentially, Bill tells her that she acted needy and cruel and that in the end, honesty is what will get her far in life. He also mentions that things were never serious with Barbara, so she was flipping out over nothing. Bill then departs, wishing her the best of luck. After crying for days, Marcy realizes it is time to bid adieu to the bitter and awful stranger she has become.
Marcy returns to her old physical self, and quickly dashes over to Bill's place to apologize for her behavior. Surprised by her new/old look, he envelopes her in his arms and confesses that he has been in love with her for months. He then pops "the question." Marcy is hesitant at first, telling Bill he deserves better than a wallflower. He playfully agrees, and makes his fondness for miniskirts (in moderation) known.
I certainly hope you enjoyed Ugly Duckling Week here at Sequential Crush! I know I did! I saved this story for last because it is my favorite out of the bunch -- and not just because Marcy's new look involved curly hair and glasses! It stresses to readers that old saying that true beauty comes from within -- something we all need to be reminded of once in a while!
Update: Nick Caputo (the unofficial art identifier here at Sequential Crush) is pretty sure the gorgeous cover was done by Bill Draut. He also identified the interior pencils as those of Werner Roth and the inks by Wally Wood!

Good Lord, it's mixed messages a go-go. Methinks Bill ('Oh Marcy, Marcy, you little fool!') just liked messing with her head. Marcy should have stuck with Peppermint Patty.ReplyDelete
You've made my day, Jacque! I've never seen this story before, even though I believe its on my want list. The pencils are by a favorite Timely-Atlas artist (better known for his X-Men run, but drew lots of pretty girls in title like Lorna, Jungle Girl, and Venus. Around the same time as this comic he also drew Lois Lane for DC) Werner Roth, inked by the great Wally Wood. This is the first and only time I've seen them together and I love the combo!ReplyDelete

Thanks to Nick for letting us know who drew this. (Something about the art reminded me of Jim Mooney's work.)ReplyDelete
Thank you, Nick! Ya know, I had a sneaking suspicion it was Roth -- I should have gone with my gut! The art in this story (and cover too) is sooooo good. You better move it up a notch on your want list! :)ReplyDelete
Anyone notice that Marcy's new look in that panel sort of looks like Velma from Scooby Doo? Or is it just me?ReplyDelete
Bill was right to take her in his arms. After all, who wouldn't want a split-personality stalker with tendencies towards violence?ReplyDelete
I love it, it's kind of charming. At 15 cents the issue, how much were paid the artists ?ReplyDelete
I honestly am not sure how much artists were paid during this particular time period, mrWak. No doubt they were paid a page rate, but probably saw little else as far as royalties, etc.ReplyDelete

why didn't the moron just appreciate her in the first place? sounds like an idiot made this story.ReplyDelete
I like it very muchReplyDelete

Today, the art world came to our desktops in a whole new way.
Sure, gigapixel technology has been around for a while, notably to document the Last Supper in 2007, but today is the day that Google turned it into a global art project. The folks at Google, working with museums from around the world, are bringing masterpieces to our computer screens in such detail that it rivals and even exceeds what we can see in person in a museum gallery. It is remarkable. It is that close.
Google's Art Project is a collaboration with 17 art museums, including the Met, the Frick, MoMA, the Rijksmuseum, the Tate, the Uffizi and the Van Gogh museum.
The collaboration resulted in a selection of super high resolution images of famous artworks that users can see down to brush-stroke detail. The project also assembles more than a thousand additional images into a single repository. The site also includes 360-degree tours of individual galleries using Street View "indoor" technology.
The project spans 11 cities, nine countries, 385 gallery rooms, 486 artists, 1061 high res artworks and more than 6,000 Street View panoramas.

(CNSNews.com) - As the Senate moves closer to a vote on the estate tax this month, labor unions in some states are pressuring their senators to oppose eliminating the so-called "death tax."
The New Orleans chapter of the Service Employees International Union complained Wednesday about the alleged cost of an estate tax repeal or reduction to the already economically challenged state.
"The city and school support workers who make up SEIU Local 21 want to remind [Louisiana Sens. David Vitter (R) and Mary Landrieu (D)] that they barely make ends meet and the middle class is slipping away from them every day," Local President Maria Wickstrom said in a news release.
Estate taxes are assessed on property transferred after the owner's death.
In 2001, President Bush signed the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (EGTRRA), which set a schedule for the estate tax to be incrementally reduced between 2002 and 2009, with no estate taxes levied in 2010. Without permanent legislation to abolish the tax, it would return to pre-EGTRRA levels in 2011.
The Senate voted 57-41 not to repeal the tax in June. Later that month, the House passed the Permanent Estate Tax Relief Act of 2006 by a vote of 269-156.
Rather than repealing the estate tax, that proposal would increase the exemption levels to $5 million per person and $10 million per couple in January 2010, effectively reducing the number of people required to pay the tax.
The House proposal would also tax estates valued between $5 million and $25 million at the capital gains rate, which is currently 15 percent. Inherited property valued at more than $25 million would be taxed at 30 percent.
Wickstrom believes repealing the estate tax favors the wealthy and neglects working class Americans.
"The people of Louisiana elected our Senate leaders to look out for the interests of working families," she added, "not heirs and heiresses to the very rich."
The American Family Business Institute (AFBI), which favors repealing the tax, said what it calls the "death tax" targets family-owned, income-producing properties, and therefore, damages the economy.
"That hit [to the economy] comes because it takes capital directly out of family businesses and farms at the most vulnerable time," Josh Kahn, AFBI communications director, told Cybercast News Service in a May 26 interview.
"In addition to that, they're spending money for years before someone passes away on life insurance schemes in order to avoid as much of the tax as possible, and that money would have gone to expanding their businesses and creating more jobs," Kahn added.
But Emma Dixon, Louisiana estate tax organizer for United for a Fair Economy, said such claims are misleading and are designed to garner sympathy.
"Most of the small family farmers are not millionaires anyway, so that just throws that out of the business," Dixon told Cybercast News Service. "And the same would apply for small, fledging businesses. Those people are not millionaires."
The debate over the estate tax is especially significant for Louisiana, where many people are still struggling to recover from Hurricane Katrina, Dixon said.
"That money [from the estate tax] goes to fund education, college tuition for kids who can't afford to pay for college ... nutrition programs to help feed the hungry, and it also pays for our uninsured children's health care," Dixon said. "Those are all very important issues here in Louisiana."
Landrieu, who has said she opposes repealing the tax, introduced her own version of the relief act in June. Unlike the House plan, it imposes a 35 percent tax rate on estates exceeding exemption levels and a surcharge of 5 percent on those worth more than $100 million.
"It gives most opponents of the estate tax what they want: a significant tax cut. It gives most reformers what they want: a stable and predictable system that enables long-term estate planning," Landrieu said in a statement in June.
"It gives most small business people and farmers what they want: a chance to keep what they have built up in their families over a lifetime of hard work," Landrieu added.
The state's senior senator said she opposes full repeal, because it is not "fiscally responsible" in light of the federal deficit, the war on terror, and costs of the ongoing Gulf Coast hurricane recovery.
Dixon argued, however, that any proposal that reduces the revenue produced by the estate tax is unacceptable.
"Landrieu has been extremely vigilant in helping to bring funds to Louisiana, especially after Katrina, but this proposal on the estate tax - it's not going to help very much," Dixon added, "There's [sic] a lot of people in Louisiana ... who do not want to see this happen."

Sunday, 29 January 2012

How interesting it is to have a year where the first and last numbers
are the same. 2012 is also the last we can celebrate a day which carries
the same number for the day, month and year; (12.12.12). Most people
believe that 2012 is doomed and would result in the end of the world.
People claim there are facts to prove that it is so. Some scientists
have said that the world's end will take place in 2012, due to some
major natural disasters.
These claims have been based on the Mayan calendar. Mayans were a
group of people who lived thousands of years ago. They were excellent in
mathematics and they did all of their activities based on mathematics.
The Mayans' famous creation is the 'Ziguratt', which has a pyramid-like
shape and comprises rock steps. It is said that they took a particular
number of years to build up a single rock step around the pyramid.
Likewise, they have taken the same number of years to build each rock
step from the bottom to the top. And also they have prepared a 12 month
calendar which ends in 2012. The reason for some scientists to accept
this as evidence is the fact that Mayans carried out all their
activities based on mathematical calculations and were hardly wrong.
However, it is not the last year of our destiny. Going by another
archaeological discovery-another inscription by Mayans - the end of the
world is not in 2012. It is said to be only an end of an era. So, in my
point of view, the next era must be an era of high technology.
Everything might be based on technology. It may also be the new
generation, with artificial intelligence (AI).
We like to have a bright future with less problems. And that has to
be achieved by us alone. So, everyone must work towards this. Let's make
2012 a successful year.

Spring, the sweet spring
Childhood is my sweet spring
In my childhood,
I met many people
Numerous people
Some were so cute
Some were so kind
Some were a nuisance
Everybody asked me one question
A common question
A usual question
'What is your dream for the future?'
At first,
I wore a nice smile,
And then answered...
'I want to be a child forever, without becoming an adult!'
'She is funny'
'She is crazy'
I could hear some opinions
I never cared...
But now I have grown up,
Now I know my dream
To be a good citizen to my motherland,
Be a valuable gem to my motherland,
Be a hero to my motherland
This is my dream.
My dream will never die in my heart,
Because I have great hope!

exciting stories revolving around fairies, goblins and little elves who
make shoes at night and dance on toad stools in the garden.
Going by these fairy tales we know that fairies have wings, carry
magic wands and make our wishes come true. There are good fairies like
Cinderella's god mother and bad fairies like the wicked fairy in
Sleeping Beauty who cast a spell to put the beautiful princess to sleep.
Do fairies really exist? Has anyone seen a fairy fly in the garden ?
No. But we do not know whether they really exist and how such a
character came about. But, it does not really matter because fairies
cast a magical spell on us whenever we read fairy tales. They give us so
much to think about. There are many things we could learn from the
fairies featured in these books. So, even though they may be only
imaginary characters, they are lovely beings to read about .

During the last school vacation we went on a trip to the Minneriya
National Park. We travelled by a private coach. There were 34 of us who
went on the trip. We left Kurunegala about 10.00 a.m. and reached
Minneriya at about 1.p.m.
First we visited the Minneriya tank. We had lunch on the bund of the
tank. After lunch we rested for a while and went to the National Park at
about 2.30 p.m. We had to enter the park from Ambagaswewa on the
Habarana-Polonnaruwa main road. As with most other places we had to buy
tickets at the entrance to visit the park. Then we were taken around the
park by a wildlife officer. According to him the forest reserve was
declared as a National Park in 1997. The extent of the park is 8,889
The National Park is famous for wild elephants. They come out of the
jungle only in the evening. The park is situated adjoining the Minneriya
and Giritale tanks.We could see a large number of elephants at this
place. There were nearly 100 elephants in the herd we saw. There were
several baby elephants too. They were playing like little children. It
was a very attractive scene. We took some photographs.
The wildlife officers told us that nearly 60 species of birds live in
the National Park. We saw peacocks, jungle fowl, eagles, parrots and
many other kinds of birds. There were six species of birds endemic to
Sri Lanka.
There were many tourists who had come to watch the wild elephants at
the park.
The wildlife officer said that elephants from Trincomalee,
Polonnaruwa and Matale areas also come to the park during the dry season
in search of food and water.At about 6 p.m. we started our return
We reached Kurunegala at about 10 p.m. We will never forget this
enjoyable trip.

Rangers might need a short-term replacement for injured Marc Staal, Cory Schneider's time won't come with the Canucks, and a three-way battle for goaltending jobs with the Islanders.
NEW YORK POST: Larry Brooks reports Marc Staal's linger post-concussion symptoms could make the club's search for a defenseman to become more serious, believing they have little choice now but to add a veteran, depth defenseman to their green blueline. Brooks suggested free agent Paul Mara as an option, though he noted Rangers head coach John Tortorella oversaw Mara's departure from the Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: There aren't many options available in terms of depth defensemen. Bryan McCabe isn't likely to earn a return engagement. Chris Campoli is still available, though his salary demands would likely exceed the Rangers available cap space. Steve Staios and Anton Stralman are currently on tryouts with the Islanders and Devils respectively, though the Rangers could sign one of them if they fail to stick with those teams beyond training camp.
VANCOUVER SUN: Cam Cole reports goaltender Cory Schneider isn't going to get his shot as a starting goalie with the Canucks. Cole suggested the Edmonton Oilers, who have serious questions in goal this season, could use him, and they have tradeable assets.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: If the Canucks do eventually trade Schneider, odds are they'll try to avoid sending him to a divisional rival.
NEWSDAY: Arthur Staple reports the Islanders have a crowd in goal with Rick DiPietro, Evgeni Nabokov and Al Montoya, and it's possible they could start the season with the three.
SPECTOR'S NOTE: At some point the Isles will move one of them, and it obviously won't be DiPietro. While many feel it'll be Nabokov, much will depend on performance and potential return.

Replacing torn up Linoleum flooring
My dog tore up the linoelum in the bathroom. It's pulled up and shredded in to large pieces about 3 ft x 5 ft. The rest of the floor wasn't harmed and is still glued down looking great. Is there a way I can replace just the shredded part? If so, where do I find matching linoleum? If I have to replace the whole floor, is that a lot of work? I'm not a very experienced DIY person, but I just don't want to pay for this to be installed. That little $%&# sure did a number on the flooring. You'd think there was a tiger locked up in there.

Hi, Using STATA 8 for Windows. I'm trying to test if older prisoners are committing suicide sooner after release from prison than younger prisoners. I have 2 variables; daysaftr: no. of days between release and suicide agedis40: age at time of release from prison I have used the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, as follows: ranksum daysaftr, by (agedis40) which produces: z=1.842, Prob>|z|=0.0655 But when I use the median test, as follows: median daysaftr, by (agedis40) exact this produces: Pearson chi2(1)=1.5380, Pr=0.215 I was expecting these two tests to produce the same results. Why do they differ? Are they not the same test? Many thanks, Daniel.

Common Cause submits its own redistricting maps, drawn on a blank slate
The good-government group, and regular critic of New York's legislature-led redistricting process, todayunveiled its proposed maps for both the state legislature and Congress. The lines were drawn wholly divorced from the current maps and who the representatives are, according to Common Cause. They say they began with the most basic geographic boundaries—towns, cities and county lines—before adding demographic data to create what they say are non-partisan alternatives to gerrymandered districts.
"We have been outspoken about the problems with the current process, which is characterized by partisanship and political self-interest," said Common Cause's executive director Susan Lerner during a conference call. "Our goal has been to show that there is no practical impediment—it's only a political one—to achieving fair, non-politicized district maps."
Common Cause's maps were released in partnership with Newsday, and the interactive map database "U Map NY" is located here.
Let's take a look at these by legislative level, and keep it focused on the city.
Note: All Common Cause's population percentages are voting-age population.
It's important to remember that all New York State Congressional districts have to grow thanks to a loss of two seats in Congress. Common Cause's maps, because of the guidelines they applied, end up with four Congressional districts that, if implemented, contain no sitting Member of Congress.
Queens highlights
There are a number of new districts that don't have Members of Congress currently residing in them—it was truly an incumbent-blind process. It's interesting to see that in the new 5th Congressional district, which shadows Congressman Joe Crowley's current district, Crowley isn't a resident. The current 7th Congressional district runs between Southeastern Bronx and Northern Queens. The new lines would increase the Latino and Hispanic population to make them the majority.
Additionally, the 9th Congressional district--which had swung from Central Queens down into Brooklyn, cutting the Rockaway Peninsula in two—is reimagined as a wholly-contained Central Queens district. It would be the home of a large Asian minority—but not a plurality, which we showed was practically impossible--which, by the 2020 Census, could easily be the framework for the city's first majority Asian Congressional district.
The remainder of the current 9th would be absorbed by what is mostly currently Congressman Greg Meeks' district. Queens County is not protected under the Voting Rights Act. That helps allow Common Cause to redraw a currently Black-majority district (51.8 percent) as a Black-plurality 6th district (45.1). It's interesting to see Common Cause's district beside the NAACP's version, which keeps the district majority Black (50.14 percent), namely by keeping the peninsula divided—something you'll hear some Rockaway residents grouse about.
Brooklyn highlights
The two big interest are the Black-majority Congressional districts in Brooklyn—Congresswoman Yvette Clarke's 11th and Congressman Ed Towns' 10th. (Congressman Jerry Nadler and Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez essentially keep the same districts profiles). We took a look at the changing landscape of Brooklyn's historically Black Congressional districts here.
Both districts grow and are less majority Black—as we noted will undoubtedly be the case. It's worth, again, taking a look at the NAACP maps alongside Common Cause's. They take much different paths. The 10th district in Common Cause's version moves further to the West, above and into Clarke's current district. This allows Clarke to move further south, where large portions of the Black population have been moving in recent years.
In the NAACP maps, Towns district moves in the opposite direction, cutting the 11th off from the largely Caribbean population near Canarsie. Instead, Clarke's district grows just a bit to its north and east, and ends up coming in 917 people below the required total of 717,708 people per district. By comparison, Common Cause's highest deviation is 336 people.
Finally, the Black percentages for both are interesting. All percentages are for Black voting age populations, as they were consistent with both sets of maps.
NY-10: NAACP = 52.19% vs. CC = 52.8%
NY-11: NAACP = 52.17% vs. CC = 50.8%
Staten Island highlight
As there's only one Congressional district on Staten Island, there's only one highlight. What's worth noting here is that Common Cause worked to keep the demographic profile of the district similar in their new maps. To do so they had to swing the Brooklyn side all the way over to take in a large chunk of more conservative white voters in southeastern Brooklyn—the area that delivered the 9th Congressional seat to Republican Bob Turner.
Manhattan and the Bronx highlights
I'm putting these two together because the biggest changes that occur affect them both.
Common Cause divides up Northern Manhattan into two Latino districts, breaking up Congressman Charlie Rangle's 15th district. The truth is, of course, that Rangel's district is already majority Latino. Common Cause actually strengthens the Black voting power in its extension across the Harlem River into the Bronx. The new 15th is now a super minority-majority district.
The other big causation is that the western portion of the Bronx is aligned with the heavily Dominican areas of Northern Manhattan. This realignment also cuts up Congressmen Elliot Engel and Jose Serrano's districts, putting them both in the same new 14th district.
Compare these to the map drawn by the NAACP that crosses three counties and leaves New York City to give Rangel a majority-Black district—something that hasn't existed in reality for years.
The Assembly and State Senate highlights
It's interesting to compare the Unity Maps here, drawn by the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, LatinoJustice and others; and Common Cause. Common Cause maps do the following regarding minority districts:
- Increase the number of Asian majority Assembly districts from one to three--two in Queens, one in Brooklyn
- Creates an Asian majority Senate seat in Queens, and a plurality seat in Brooklyn.
- Creates 16 majority voting-age population Hispanic/Latino Assembly districts.
- Creates 6 majority Latino/Hispanic districts across the city.
- Creates two new Black Assembly seats--one in Brooklyn and one in the Bronx.
Additionally, it should be noted Common Cause increased the number of State Senate seats downstate, from 28 to 29, stating:
During the last redistricting cycle, Senate Republicans chose to only draw 28 districts within New York City-Southern Westchester, with 7 districts in Queens overpopulated at almost +4% and 21 districts in the rest overpopulated at +1.6%. Drawing 28 districts in New York City-Southern Westchester instead of 29 is a clear political gerrymander to avoid an additional likely Democratic seat upstate...
If the appropriate 29 districts are drawn in New York City-Southern Westchester, the populations of the districts are much closer to the statewide average at -0.65%. The Brooklyn-Queens border must be crossed by a senate district to achieve uniform population size across all five boroughs.
This is just a first draft of Common Cause's maps, and the first of any outside group to try and do all three levels of legislative government across New York State. It's a Herculean task. I'm sure they'll be receiving lots of feedback and plan to update maps as more data becomes available.

1. Re: Build server license?Peter Grainge Jul 10, 2013 12:13 AM (in response to erickarjala)
This is really a question for Adobe. To the best of my knowledge it does require a licence but don't forget your Rh licence allows installation on two machines. That is not intended for two author use but to allow, for example, an author to work at home or in the office.
You would need to check with Adobe that use is permitted.
Hopefully someone who has experience of this scenario can chip in.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips
2. Re: Build server license?Provolow Jul 17, 2013 12:33 PM (in response to erickarjala)
I have the same question! We would also like our build server to use RoboHelp's command-line interface to automatically generate the latest help files (without authoring capability). Interested to know if you've heard a definitive answer from Adobe.
3. Re: Build server license?johndaigle Jul 18, 2013 3:31 PM (in response to Provolow)
Hi Provolow and erickarjala
I don't know the answer offhand. Peter's suggestion is the only one that comes to mind (activation on two machines being allowable.)
Since Peter is sleeping in his part of the world right now, let me ask a few questions.
I will query Adobe to see if they can clarify but before I do, where does the actual RoboHelp project reside (on the author's machine? Source Control? Share Drive?)
What is the exact workflow you would prefer? Is the idea that the author will "hand off" the project to web admin for copying to the server machine and then you want to run rhcl.exe from there?
Thanks and we'll see if we can clarify.

4. Re: Build server license?Provolow Jul 19, 2013 6:36 AM (in response to johndaigle)
Thanks for looking into this, John! In our case, we have a software build server (CruiseControl) that automatically watches source control and rebuilds the appropriate software product whenever changes to source code are checked in. We would like to configure it to do the same with help files -- watch source control for changes to the help file sources, and when it detects anything, kick off rhcl.exe to rebuild a CHM file or WebHelp.
Then the rebuilt CHM or WebHelp could be automatically deployed as well, whatever makes sense for that project.
5. Re: Build server license?erickarjala Jul 23, 2013 7:33 AM (in response to johndaigle)
John, thanks a lot for your help. Our situation seems identical Provolow -- the project resides on the author's machine, which is checked into source control. We want the build server to generate a CHM/WebHelp output when a new source is checked in.
6. Re: Build server license?Vikas_Singla Jul 25, 2013 4:03 AM (in response to erickarjala)
Hi erickarjala and Provolow
As per the workflow you had mentioned, RoboHelp Scripting Engine would serve the purpose.You can write a script for watching the version control information. e.g. fetching the status of a specific file in RoboHelp Project.
You can explore "RoboHelp.Project" object in scripting, which is current project object. You can use this object to retrieve file status of files in the project (e.g.curProject.FileManager.item(index) ).
Depending upon the file status, you can use scripting to publish the desired outputs (e.g. WebHelp/ CHM).
Scripting guide can be found on this link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/robohelp/scripting/robohelp_10_scripting.p df
Hopefully this would help.

Site: Melbourne, Fla.
Course: Suntree Country Club (par 72, 6,133 yards)
Tournament: Knights & Pirates Invitational
U-M Team Standing: Tie-5th Place of 15 Teams (298-299-298/895)
Top U-M Individual: Meagan Bauer, 6th (74-72-73/219)
Next U-M Event: Fri-Sun., April 27-29 -- at Big Ten Championships (French Lick, Ind.)
MELBOURNE, Fla. -- With senior Meagan Bauer (Grand Blanc, Mich./Grand Blanc HS) and sophomore Yugene Lee (Athens, Ga./Oconee County HS) garnering top-10 individual finishes, the University of Michigan women's golf team closed its regular season with a tie for fifth today (Tuesday, April 10) at the Knights & Pirates Invitational at the Suntree Country Club. U-M carded three sub-300 team rounds (298-299-298/895) for just the second time this season, earning the squad's fifth top-five team finish of the campaign.
With three 74s -- from Bauer, Lee and sophomore Alyssa Shimel (Pemberville, Ohio/Eastwood HS) -- U-M opened its tournament with a 298 in Monday's (April 9) first round. An even-par 72 from Bauer and 75s from Lee and freshman Linda Luo (Bradenton, Fla./Lakewood Ranch HS) highlighted the day's second 18, as U-M posted a 299 to sit fifth with a 597 first-day total.
U-M's trio of Lee (72), Bauer (73) and Luo (74) led the way for the Maize and Blue in the final round as the Wolverines closed with their second 298 of the event and finished tied with Chattanooga.
Individually, the Wolverines had three starters finish among the top 25 for the fourth time this season. Bauer led the way in sixth at 219 (74-72-73), while Lee gave U-M two among the top 10 as she tied for ninth at 221 (74-75-72). Luo's 225 (76-75-74) and tie for 21st gave U-M three among the top 25 in the 87-player field.
Shimel closed her regular season in a tie for 51st at 233 (74-80-79), while freshman Lauren Grogan (Columbus, Ohio/Bishop Watterson HS) tied for 65th at 237 (80-77-80). Sophomore Chelsea Pezzola (Bradenton, Fla./Saint Stephens Episcopal Prep) played as an individual for the second straight event and tied for 59th at 235 (75-80-80).
With the regular season now complete, the Wolverines will turn their attention to the Big Ten Championships at the end of the month. For the first time, the Big Ten's women's and men's programs will compete during the same weekend -- Friday through Sunday, April 27-29 -- as well as play at the same resort -- the French Lick Resort in French Lick, Ind. The women's championships will be played on the Donald Ross course and the women's event will be held on the Pete Dye course.

For the second time this season, Michigan tallied three straight sub-300 team totals in an event. The other time was the fall-closing Challenge at Onion Creek (295-290-293/878).
Michigan's 895 54-hole total is the third lowest of the season and lowest event total of the spring season.
Michigan's tie for fifth gives the Wolverines five top-five finishes in the 10 regular-season events. It is also a spring season best finish.
For the fourth time this season, Michigan had at least three of the five starters finish among the top 25 individually.
Megan Bauer led U-M for the third time this season and broke the 220 mark in a 54-hole event for the second time this season with her 219. Her other sub-220 was her career-best 213 at the Lady Northern Invitational.
Yugene Lee's tie for ninth continued her streak of finishing among the top 40 in all 10 events this season. She also tallied her third top-10 finish of the season.
Meagan Bauer, Yugene Lee and Alyssa Shimel have started all 10 events this season. In fact, Bauer has started her last 32, while Shimel has not missed a start in her two seasons, a string of 22 straight.
Chelsea Pezzola played in her second event of the season. In both events, she competed as an individual.
Michigan Head Coach Cheryl Stacy
On the Knights & Pirates Invitational ... "I was really happy with our play. Our goal going into the tournament was to try and get a top-three finish and we fell short a little bit; however, I was really pleased with the play of Meagan (Bauer), Yugene (Lee) and Linda (Luo). They really played some consistent golf and put up some good scores. The way we were able to play here really helps our confidence. That is a really good sign as we move toward postseason. I cannot say enough about the girls' attitudes right now. They are really working hard and it shows. Now, we are looking forward to a few more weeks of practice before Big Tens. It gives us a chance to really tune in and work hard, so we will be ready to go."

Mets: K-Rod is the closer and J.J. Putz will be the primary set-up man, and they certainly have room and a need for a strong left-hander as well. But their focus is on adding a starting pitcher. source ESPN

Fuentes still a Fit ?
Buster Olney of ESPN has an article today in which he looks at the market for free agent closer Brian Fuentes. The former Colorado closer has seen his market close ( no pun intended) since both K-Rod and J.J. came to the Mets. Fuentes price could drop so much that he actually makes set-up man money and with the Mets in need of a lefty Olney won't rule them out. My guess would be that if price get that low that he would sign a one year deal as a closer and then try again next year......

Sending a treat to the Marines in Afghanistan is a real challenge due to the travel time involved. But I thought you would like to know how much your still fresh and delicious tasking brownies were appreciated by the Marines of India Battery stationed in the Helmand province of Afghanistan. Below is the thank you email I received for the sprite extravaganza I sent. "I wanted to take the time to thank you guys for your generous and thoughtful birthday gift. It was a treat to get anything over here, but that gift was a major morale booster and a big hit with Marines throughout the camp. I can't believe how fresh and delicious those brownies stayed through their long journey…kudos to whoever found that company. I put a box of them in our Combat Operations Center at about 7 pm the night I got them thinking they would last a while. I came back in the next morning for a patrol brief and they were already all gone. Apparently Marines were coming in throughout the night after hearing about the brownie stockpile in the COC. Anyway, safe to say you guys made a lot of Marines happy and made my birthday that much more special."

Date of Stay: October, 2015
I gave a satisfactory rating because the park is in transition from state to city and there are some maintenance issues because of it. State has pulled out the laundry facilities and slacked off on maintenance. Lake side sites were $35 while across the road were $28. All sites have water & electric, level and tree lined. Our B was the smallest camper there, about 4 other sites had 5'ers, all other sites were empty. 28 total sites. We had a beautiful lakefront site. Hope this park doesn't fall into disrepair.
Date of Stay: October, 2015
One of the cleanest parks we've seen in a while. $16 with Geezer card. Level sites for our B with plenty of trees, just below the dam on the river. Campground host/manager was super nice and very accommodating. Only spent one night on our way south. Would definitely return.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Very nice park. Some sites are full sun, some have shade. We were in 263. A bit of a slope, but great shade and close to the restroom & shower. Seemed strange parking on the grass and not a pad, but when in Rome, etc. The camping pass got us into Fort Niagara & Niagara Falls SP's & free parking. Would do this again in a heart beat. Nice & cool for mid-July for a mid-western couple. Got down to 46 one night.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Very nice park. Very few electric available without reservation on a Monday night mid-July. Friendly staff gave us a choice of sites and found one that worked for the night. Very clean restrooms and a nicely maintained park as a whole. Well spaced between sites, with groves & trees. Would return.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Park was nice for our overnight purposes. Restrooms were clean, well used, but clean. Ample space between sites. Attendants were very friendly and helpful with discounts and all. We camped in a SportsMobile van and only required electric. Had no reservations, but did find a couple of nice sites on a Sunday night in July. Wouldn't want to spend a bunch of days here, but great for a night and not far from the interstate.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
Knowing nothing about this park we stumbled in on a Friday just after noon and as we left early the next day the park was full. Very popular, but nice park. Plenty of sites in the full sun and plenty in the woods/shade. Park attendee assigned us a site, but it worked out fine. Facilities were very well maintained and clean. The Lodge has excellent food at very affordable prices. Camping fee for a B was $25 and a non-resident park pass was $7. Camp store was typical and nice. Never got to try the trails on this trip, but heard nothing but good things about them.We could see a couple of days here.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
Loved this park! Gravel site with elect, but very spacious and level. Two loops, one with 50 amp service and large sites. Plenty of privacy, with trees and brush between sites, fire rings and tables for handicap. Facilities were used, but very clean. Strangest showers I've seen. Hold the handle up for water. The longer you hold it the hotter it gets. Let go of it and the water stops. But it worked. Will be back.
Date of Stay: April, 2012
Advantage: Right off I-75 for a great one night stay. Easy in and easy out. Disadvantage: Right off I-75. Constant road noise. Well maintained park, no Wi-Fi, but large spacious sites, though not much privacy. Nice restrooms and shower facilities. Highlight of the park is the restaurant Rickard Ridge BBQ. I had a sampler platter for $17 and the wife a huge baked potato and salad. We shared that meal and had lunch and dinner the next day of it. GREAT!
Date of Stay: April, 2012
Very nice park and a pleasant stay. The sites are pretty nice, roomy, and well spaced amid huge hemlock and pine trees. Very pretty. Restrooms/showers are terrific and very well maintained. Only stayed one night and never saw park attendant or ranger. Paid via honor system which was a bit confusing. Never had a camp fire, but saw wood for sale, but saw no way to pay for it. The falls and bridges were very pretty and interesting to see. We stayed in our van and the upper road in would be a real challenge to a big rig, in my opinion. Would definitely go back.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
A nice stop for a night over. But put me in mind of private concessionaires taking over and not really providing the needed upkeep. Some tables were the worse for the wear as was the restroom facilities. They were clean, but well used and showed it. Many pull through sites and very open. It put me in mind of a fish camp, where the guys go to fish all day, care about their catch, their boats and a good meal at days end and that's all. At $27 minus a senior discount of 20%, but add the $5 park pass totaled $26.60. Not bad, but Bluff Creek Access, a corp park, a few mile north in Alabama is gorgeous and a whole lot cheaper with the America Beautiful pass.

Hello everyone,
I am a grooming nightmare right now. My winter coat is at full force and my grooming has been slow to none. I think my mother has finally given up on torturing me with the brush until spring gets a little closer. Bandit has turned 12. He still acts like a pup most of the time. Right now he is in the office with mom and dad waiting for them to get some food so he can have a bite or two. I have news for him, they are on their "post holiday diets" whatever that is. So they won't be eating anything tonight. I'm too good for begging so I am watching animal planet in the living room.
My winter coat is coming in again. I am getting furrier by the moment. I love winter because it gets cold enough to finally love on my humans without getting overheated.
Auggie found his people...
Although I will not miss having to hide my rawhides better or all of his bed hogging, I will miss his playful puppy attitude. He had me at the word woof!
Auggie, if you are out there---you had me at the word "Woof!"

Faculty Affairs Committee
Nov. 2, 2010
Present: McQuarrie, Dean, Bezanson, Wojtaszek
Wojtaszek presented a draft of proposal regarding plan to regularize and compensate discipline coordinators across campus. The majority of members present felt that this was not the appropriate time to carry such a proposal forward, feeling that the broader issue of addressing salary across campus should take preference. There were also concerns raised because:
· there does not seem to be wide support for such a proposal based on informal discussions between committee members and their division colleagues
· models of coordinatorship vary widely across campus (though this is precisely one of the areas the proposal sought to address)
Discussion turned to the question of teaching loads and, more specifically, the number of credits taught by faculty, in the context of our ongoing discussion of the faculty salary report.
Bezanson attempted to get data on the average teaching load among the COPLAC and Morris 14 institutions. It appears that collecting such data will prove challenging and time-consuming for the Office of Institutional Data and would require the dean's approval.
Bezanson also suggested we look at a comparison of teaching loads within the U of MN system.
The question was raised regarding the meaning of professionals as applied to faculty members at Crookston Campus. [This was offered as a partial explanation as to why Crookston faculty earn higher salaries than Morris faculty.] Dean explained this means faculty members there are non-academic in large part, and therefore their higher salaries are necessary to keep them in academia rather than the professions they represent.
Committee members agreed that it would be worth looking at Crookston salaries by discipline, since in addition to professional programs, there is presumably a general education/liberal arts component to their curriculum as well.
Dean and Wareham continue to work on the draft of the salary report, with a tentative deadline of Nov. 30 for a draft to forward to the Chancellor, to then be forwarded to the appropriate committees and venues.
Bezanson will continue attempts to get information about the chancellor review process and its progress, as well as information on the PULSE survey results from last year. We are specifically concerned with the portions of the data that apply to the Morris campus, and which to this point have been made available only to the Chancellor.
Respectfully submitted by James Wojtaszek

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
ISLAMABAD -- For the students and teachers at the Malalay Afghan refugee school here, the US offensive in Afghanistan is simply one more link in a familiar chain of violence.
Some 700 boys and girls are enrolled in the school, all of them members of Afghan families that have sought safety in this sprawling Pakistani capital some 125 miles from the Afghan border. Some have been in Pakistan for a decade or more. Others arrived only recently.
But the students, aged 5 to 19, share a common experience: they all became intimately acquainted with the brutality of war long before the United States began its bombing campaign. Some have seen rockets flatten their homes. Some have seen loved ones killed.
Now, as refugees, they are no longer dodging bullets. But the violence in their homeland continues to color their daily lives.
At one of Malalay's two locations, in the city's predominantly Afghan Karachi Company neighborhood, a rust-colored cloth separates the street from an apartment whose five rooms have been converted into classrooms, each equipped with timeworn blackboards and about a dozen wooden chairs.
Neelab Hanifi, a 19 year old senior, comes to school despite the fact that she's fighting malaria. Her family came to Pakistan from Kabul five years ago, fleeing the internal fighting that followed the collapse of Afghanistan's communist government.
"When I think about the rockets falling now, I have flashbacks to when I was in Kabul hiding from them," she says. "People are so worried. But we have no choice but to be here right now."
Male students report being harassed by militant Pakistanis and Afghans, who pressure them to join the war against the United States. In the Peshawar More and Karachi Company neighborhoods, from which the school draws most of its students, children say they fear the return of Taliban recruiters, who three years ago scoured shops and streets in search of fighters. On a recent Friday many students and teachers stayed home, fearing violence associated with expected demonstrations by Taliban supporters.
The school itself has become a target for Taliban supporters because of the simple fact that it enrolls boys and girls together.
"They want us to shut it down or separate boys and girls," says Malalay's principal, Nooria Maroofi. "We have persevered to keep it the way it is so far."
Maroofi says Taliban officials in Kabul sent her a letter in which they demanded that she "stop her activities" and threatened her life and her family. The letter, she says, was slipped under her office door. Taliban representatives in Islamabad declined to comment on the letter or the school.
Malalay was established in 1992 by Afghans whose refugee status meant their children were unable to enroll in Pakistani schools. Pakistan currently hosts some two million Afghan refugees. Malalay is one of some 50 schools that have sprung up to serve this swelling population.
The school employs 35 teachers, who make from $11 to $33 a month. About 30 percent of the students attend for free. The parents of the remaining students pay a nominal tuition fee, from $1 to $2.45 per month. Maroofi says the school has received individual donations of as much as $500, but has never received any support from relief organizations or the Pakistani government.
The result is a school that is unusually independent, answering only to the parents of the enrolled students. While giving them permission to operate, Pakistan does not recognize any of the Afghan refugee schools. A degree from one of the schools means little in Pakistan, so most of the students graduate with no opportunities for higher education.
"The only hope we have is that our children are being educated and the level of education is good, the same as it was in Kabul," says Mohammed Arif Zarifi, a former engineer with three children enrolled at Malalay. "The problem is that they are (our) future, but in Pakistan, they have no future." Zarifi says his eldest daughter hopes to go abroad to pursue her education, but the family cannot afford either the travel costs or the visa.
Maroofi says she is committed to keeping the school open despite the obstacles. But she echoed her students' sentiment that the war has made life more difficult than it already was in Pakistan. Maroofi says the school's neighbors are pressuring her to move because they fear an attack by pro-Taliban groups.
The Pakistani police offer little protection, students claim. Instead, they say police routinely press their parents for bribes over passport and visa issues -- pressure they say has increased as the US campaign intensifies.
"In Pakistan, police harass us. We can't leave our homes," says Ajmal Wahadi, 15. "We're afraid that they will take us to jail or send us to Afghanistan to fight."
Ahmad Siar Mahboob, 11, recounts a typical tale. The boy says a Pakistani police officer stopped his father, an ice-cream vendor, demanding his passport. When Ahmad's father showed the officer a 30-year-old passport, the boy says, the officer demanded a bribe. Ahmad says his father refused to give the officer money, and the officer responded by beating the middle-aged man with the butt of a rifle.
Having fled the regime, Maroofi says her students and their parents abhor the Taliban and what it has done to their country. But she draws no solace from the US campaign against the Taliban. For Malalay's war-weary students and their families, she says, the only relief will come from a lasting peace.
"There are other alternatives that have not been explored. Let's find those options and stop war," Maroofi says. "Twenty-two years of war, for God's sake, is enough."

More bang for the buck
It was a challenge for big-league teams to find bargains this winter with salaries on the rise and so many clubs looking for potential contributors on the cheap. But that didn't stop general managers from trying. "With some guys, you just give them an opportunity and hope you can catch lightning in a bottle,'' said Toronto's J.P. Ricciardi.
Here's a list of 10 players who because of injury, a dropoff in performance or other extenuating circumstances signed for base salaries of less than $1 million and could provide a decent return on the investment:
There's no point pretending that Gonzalez can be a great player again. He's appeared in 185 of a possible 486 games since 2002, and as one AL executive put it, "He doesn't have a high tolerance for pain. If he's not healthy, he's not going to play.'' Gonzalez has a bad back, and as a bonus, he's now lugging around some steroid-related baggage after being fingered as a 'roid user in Jose Canseco's new book.
But Gonzalez had his last big season with the Indians in 2001, when he hit 35 homers and drove in 140 runs, so there's a comfort level in Cleveland. If he has any semblance of pride, he has to be embarrassed by last year's fiasco in Kansas City. And what's the downside to a minor-league deal for $600,000? Consider that reliever Jay Powell signed for the same thing with Atlanta.
"It's like buying a lottery ticket,'' another AL official said of the Indians' decision to sign Gonzalez. "There's a one-in-four shot that he'll produce. But there is a huge upside if he hits.''

ND Knights v CD Stags
Ford Trophy
Seddon Park, Hamilton
Grant Bradburn doesn't think the new rules in limited-overs cricket are leading to a blowout in teams' totals and bowlers' figures.
The Northern Districts Knights coach believes the trend in the Ford Trophy domestic competition is a direct result of batting prowess.
Bradburn credits Twenty/20 cricket for his side's success as they host Devon Hotel Central Districts Stags in the fourth round at Seddon Park, Hamilton, tomorrow.
"That's the No1 reason why ND are getting better at playing it [Ford Trophy]."
ND are three and oh, inflicting the first defeat on defending champions CD in the opener in Nelson.
The visitors have only one win.
Bradburn also feels the extra fielder inside the ring and one fewer outside means bowlers have to do their jobs more intelligently.
"We've come across some pretty poor bowling so far in our games."
He says the other vital cog in the wheel is astute captaincy, something he attributes to veteran James Marshall for their victory over Otago Volts in Invercargill on Sunday.
"You need a smart captain who knows where the fielders should be placed."
CD will have seamer Bevan Small back in the mix with Adam Milne nursing a quad strain.
Carl Cachopa returns from NZ XI duties although Bradburn says Corey Anderson isn't in his equation tomorrow.
William Young's poor form cost him a place in CD's matrix.
"You have to try to take wickets and Bevan will do that," CD coach Alan Hunt said, adding he was also a classy fielder and a useful tailend batsman.
CD STAGS: Jamie How, Jeet Raval, Carl Cachopa, Mathew Sinclair, Kieran Noema-Barnett, Kruger van Wyk, Tarun Nethula, Bevan Small, Marty Kain, Ben Wheeler, Andrew Mathieson.
Coach: Alan Hunt.
Assistant coach: Lance Hamilton.
ND KNIGHTS: Daniel Flynn, Anton Devcich, James Marshall (c), Cameron Fletcher (wk), Brett Hampton, Daryl Mitchell, Brad Wilson, Jonno Boult, Graeme Aldrige, Brent Arnel, Anuragh Verma, Jono Hickey.

The small boat shaped seeds of Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) has been used for many medicinal and culinary purposes from the ancient time in the various countries. Cumin is a popular spice in the world from Latin America to Northern Africa and all over the Asia and also used as a flavoring agent in many products such as cheese, pickle, soup, bean dishes or liqueurs. Essential oils of the seeds are also used as a flavor or in aromatherapy. Many pharmacological effects have been reported from this spicy plant as, anti-diabetic, Immunologic, anti-epileptic, anti-tumor and antimicrobial activities. Cumin used in the medicinal preparations is supposed to be produced with high quality encompasses all the properties of the final product which makes it optimal suitable for use. Reproducible quality is a goal, which achieved by the process of standardization. The focus here is rather on harvesting and processing of the cultivated species, because the quality of plant material and processing technology lead to the high quality of the final product. The quality of Cumin seeds and its essential oil can only be assessed with analytical methods, which include physical, microscopic and chemical analyzing assays. In this paper, the phytochemistry, medicinal properties and the standards from the field cultivation, harvesting and storage until marketing are reviewed.
