One of the new features in PowerPoint 2010 are tools on the Ribbon that appear on demand, as you work. These tools will automatically appear as you work in your presentation. They will be relevant to what you are doing at the time.
For example, if you are working with a shape in your presentation, the Format tab will appear, with the Drawing Tools.
Another example would be if you add a table to your presentation. When you click in the table, you will see that the Ribbon now shows the Design and Layout tabs, along with Table Tools.
When you click away from the shape or table, the on-demand tools will disappear, and the standard tabs will remain.

Of the 984 rapists jailed last year, a total of 134 got four years or less, the Ministry of Justice statistics revealed.
The average term for all rape offenders was eight years, although rules which allow automatic release halfway through a sentence mean many will be free after a relatively short time in jail.
The new statistics - which also show that a quarter of all offenders tried at crown court last year had already committed at least 15 other crimes - will intensify the debate about sentencing following comments on rape by Justice Secretary Ken Clarke.
Mr Clarke had to apologise after suggesting some rapes were more serious than others as he tried to defend plans that would allow rapists and other offenders to have their jail terms halved if they plead guilty. Judges have already warned that the proposals, when combined with existing automatic release rules, could lead to a rapist's five-year sentence cut to 15 months.
Today's figures show, however, that some offenders would be freed even sooner if Mr Clarke's plans go ahead.
They show that nearly 14 per cent of rapists were given four years or under, while two out of five - 377 offenders - got between five and 10 years.
Another 188 rapists convicted last year were given more than 10 years but less than life, while 13 others got a life term. Another 180 were jailed indefinitely for public protection and will only be freed when it is deemed safe.
Mr Clarke's plans were attacked by mother-of-two Gabrielle Browne, 45, the victim of an attempted rape, who called them a "disaster" for women.
After meeting him, she said yesterday she was sure he will consider her views before announcing his final plans and added she was persuaded his ideas were "fair enough" in an attempt to reduce victims' trauma and cut costs.

Robinson is picking a team to face Canada on 13 November in the first of three successive Saturday internationals at Twickenham. In the months following the Rugby World Cup triumph over Australia in Sydney on 22 November last year, the number of players either retired, injured or out of form has been steadily rising.
Now Robinson has to fashion a team for Wilkinson to lead on to the pitch against a Canadian outfit that England's third string defeated in the summer in North America.
There can be no question of trying out combinations in that match because the following weekends bring Tri-Nations champions South Africa and Australia to Twickenham.
Clive Woodward always insisted his only selection criteria when he was head coach were form and fitness and there is nothing to suggest Robinson will waver greatly from these prerequisites.
However, there are so many of England's World Cup-winning team still out of form that Robinson has a delicate balancing act to perform. He is already committed to gambling on Wilkinson, who has yet to produce the displays that made him the best No10 in the world following surgery on the shoulder and neck problem which threatened his career.
However, Wilkinson still has a month to get up to speed. More worrying is that England's once feared pack is now in disarray following a dreadful summer tour that produced two heavy defeats by the All Blacks and a similar thumping from the Wallabies.
In the front row, only Julian White, the Leicester tight head, is playing with real authority while Trevor Woodman, formerly of Gloucester now at Sale, is having to get used to a rota system for club matches.
This opens the way for grizzled old Graham Rowntree, the Leicester loose head, who has been ignored by the selectors in recent seasons but is now part of a Tigers pack that is mauling all comers and stands atop of the Premiership. There is even a case for keeping the entire Leicester front row together, with George Chuter at hooker, because every successful team is built on combinations.
However, to ignore Northampton's Steve Thompson would be to seriously undermine the confidence the hooker is trying to rebuild after a poor summer. Thompson used to be the world's best hooker, but Robinson just wants him to prove he can be the best in England. Second row has always been an England strong point - until this season. With Martin Johnson now retired and Simon Shaw struggling to find a solution to a persistent neck injury, the front runners remain the Bath pair of Danny Grewcock and Steve Borthwick on the basis that they are a proven combination and have experience of Test rugby.
The back row used to pick itself with Richard Hill, Neil Back and Lawrence Dallaglio recognised as the most annoyingly effective trio in international rugby. All three are still playing top-level rugby but only Hill is available for the international season, injuries permitting.
That will allow Joe Worsley to cement his place in the back row and Robinson could do a lot worse than recall Martin Corry, the abrasive Leicester No8, to increase the number of gnarled old hands on board. He may lack pace, but that matters less with Sale forward Chris Jones available on the replacements bench.
Scrum-half is one of the easy options with Andy Gomarsall's form at Gloucester putting him in the No9 shirt since Robinson has dumped Matt Dawson for opting to secure his BBC television career rather than train.
The midfield options are hampered by Will Greenwood's lack of form in a dreadful Harlequins side. That should lead to veteran Mike Catt being brought back from the wilderness at London Irish to link up with Mike Tindall.
The back three - wings and full-back - will all come from Sale if form is the only criteria. Mark Cueto has been left out of the 60-strong Elite Squad by England, but he has proved to be one of the country's best finishers. He should be included along with fellow wing Steve Hanley, who needs the chance to erase the memory of his part in the 1999 Grand Slam defeat by Wales at Wembley.
At least Sale full-back Jason Robinson, who missed the summer tour to recharge his batteries, is back to his best. The acting coach should give thanks for small mercies.Rob Howley's career is under threat after his wrist failed to heal properly following surgery.
The London Wasps scrum-half has been told a comeback is impossible before February. This makes it hard for him to bid for a place on the Lions tour to New Zealand.
If the wrist does not heal completely, Howley will have to retire.

PRESTONSBURG – Crews were hard at work repairing bridges and fixing slides on Tuesday.
One crew worked on the new addition of Route 979 Harold-Minnie Connector.
Another crew began the final phase of construction on the Ivel slide.
The Harold-Minnie Connector project began in 2003. Several bridges were constructed for the project – one at Harold, Branham's Creek, a bridge at Minnie that spans 2,960 feet over creeks and a set of railroad tracks. Since construction of the bridge was completed several years ago, concrete and asphalt connecting the roadway to the bridge have settled and left the roadway uneven. Crews worked to even up the surface of the roadway to the surface of the bridges on Tuesday.
A crew contracting with the Highway District 12 office worked scaling the rock face to loosen up remaining material from the slide at Ivel. Officials confirmed the current phase at Ivel should be wrapped up by Sunday.
In addition to the work that will be completed by Sunday, crews will construct a rock fall barrier fence. Officials with Highway District 12 say the final phase in Ivel should be completed in October.

Volume 6 Supplement 1
24th European Workshop for Rheumatology Research
VIDAS-EDRA fully automated testing of autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis
DOI: 10.1186/ar1056
© The Author(s) 2004
Received: 16 January 2004
Published: 24 February 2004
Antiperinuclear factor and antikeratin antibodies (AKA) were shown to belong to the same family of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-specific autoantibodies directed at 'citrullinated' peptidic epitopes borne by (pro)filaggrins. We showed that their major target in the synovial tissue of RA patients is deiminated (citrullinated) fibrin. Although (pro)filaggrins are probably only cross-reactive proteins, their in vitro detection allowed the development of several highly efficient tests for the diagnosis of RA. Among those, the CCP ELISAs (CCP1 and CCP2), based on a cyclic citrullinated peptide derived from human filaggrin, and the ArFA-ELISA that we developed using a citrullinated recombinant rat filaggrin appear to be the most promising. The rapidly growing interest of rheumatologists in autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins rendered the development of a convenient, fully automated test the next challenge. Based on the ArFA-ELISA, we developed an automated test on the VIDAS machine (bioMérieux), called VIDAS-EDRA (early diagnosis rheumatoid arthritis). Thresholds were defined on a large series of 617 patients with well defined, established rheumatic diseases, including 181 patients with RA. Antibodies to CCP1 and CCP2 (Immunoscan, Eurodiagnostica) were sought following the manufacturer procedures. Rheumatoid factor (RF) and AKA were also analyzed in the series. The diagnostic performances of the tests were compared. In established diseases the diagnostic sensitivity of the VIDAS-EDRA was found to be identical to that of CCP2, and was significantly higher than tests for AKA, CCP1 and RF.
Diagnostic sensitivity (%) computed at thresholds allowing 95.2% and 98.6% diagnostic specificity to be achieved

Maybe Stephen Jackson was onto something. He told our own Jessica Camerato that the Celtics deserve the respect he refused to give them last year. And after the game he said one reason he has changed his mind is the play of Rajon Rondo. The point guard's teammates are also on board. Rondo led a dramatic 32-16 surge in the third quarter that left Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett calling for Rondo to get some All-Star love. The Rondo-for-All-Star push continues Friday night at the Garden as the 14-2 Celtics welcome the 7-8 Philadelphia 76ers.
Paul Pierce said he wouldn't be surprised to see Rondo wind up on the Eastern Conference All-Star squad.
Rajon Rondo appreciated the thoughts from his captain.
Garnett said Rondo has a heart the size of Africa.

|Jackson: Celtics Earned My Respect
|11.26.08 at 9:04 pm ET
Last season on the night before Thanksgiving, Stephen Jackson scoffed at the hype surrounding the Boston Celtics. They were 9-1 at the time, including a 23-point blowout over the Golden State Warriors, but Jackson could care less.
"They won nine games. If you all want to hype up nine games so be it. I'm not," he said at the time. "Like I said, they are just another NBA team just like everybody else. They'll get praise when they win a championship."
Exactly one year later, the now-defending champions came from behind the defeat the Warriors 119-111 in Boston. Jackson posted 30 points, six assists, and five rebounds, and looked like he was out for redemption.
So was he playing with a vengeance? His answer may surprise you.
"They definitely have my respect," he said. "They have three great players and a great leader in (Rajon) Rondo. He definitely is a key to them winning games. Like I said, they have my respect now. If I said that year, I take it back. They've definitely earned it."
The trio of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Ray Allen have achieved the goal Jackson is working toward with Corey Maggette and the newly acquired Jamal Crawford. Now he is in the same situation and can appreciate what the Celtics accomplished last season.
"It's hard to not respect them after the season they had," Jackson said. "When you're a team that signs three big guys and you haven't won a championship, you have to earn the respect. And they've earned it."
|Watch that temper…
|11.25.08 at 1:28 pm ET
Kendrick Perkins will never be compared to bad boys Ron Artest or Rasheed Wallace, at least if he can find a way from earning technical fouls as fast as he hauls in rebounds.
Perkins didn't come into the season intending to become the NBA's new bad boy. But if people want to draw that comparison after drawing eight technical fouls in the first 15 games of the season, then so be it.
"It doesn't matter, they're two great players in this league so I hope so," Perkins said following Tuesday's practice. "Nobody is getting under my skin. I really start all the problems. It's not like they're starting stuff with me. I pretty much start everything."
One of those eight techs occurred with Jermaine O'Neal (below) in the Nov. 10 game against Toronto.
Celtics captain Paul Pierce is more than experienced in the ways of emotional warfare on the court.
"I use it to get in my opponents' heads," Pierce said Tuesday. "I don't use it to start anything. I use it to frustrate my opponent, sort of what Larry Bird used to do in the day, Michael (Jordan), Gary Payton, these guys. I use it more as a tactic. I'm not trying to fight anybody. I do it in practice."
Perkins, meanwhile, has always had a fierce but quiet demeanor on the court.
"I don't really worry about it. It is what it is. They're either going to like me or they're not. I'm not saying anything to them. I'm just going to go out there and play my game. I'm an emotional guy but it's not anything I can't change. I can control it. It's more getting into with (other players) than anything."
Now, this season, opposing players have chosen to ride the Celtics big man to see if they can draw him into verbal, and sometimes, physical encounters that result in technical fouls.
Well, 15 games into the season, Perkins has eight. Under the NBA's collective bargaining agreement, if you collect 16, you earn yourself a seat on the bench in civilian clothes for a game.
Not what Doc Rivers and the Celtics are looking for.
"Last year was more techs toward the refs," said Perkins, who picked up his eighth T on Sunday, jabbing and jarring with Jose Calderon in Toronto. "This year is more getting into with people. I've just been trying to keep my head. Last game, I wasn't trying to get a tech. I'm trying to get it overturned."
But in fairness to Perkins, Rivers was quick to point out that he thinks at least two of the instances should be reviewed and repealed.
"I'm concerned," said Celtics coach Doc Rivers, sounding somewhat worried about Perkins' rep. "We're sending a lot of the tapes to the league because a lot of the double-technicals are where someone saying something to him and he turns around and they get a double-tech. That's, to me, where the officials have to do their job. I think it's easy to say say, 'double-technical' instead of saying this guy started it. We're going to try to get a couple of them rescinded. It won't happen but we're going to try."
Rivers then had this message for Perk.
"You want them to be emotional but not be emotionally sabotaged," Rivers said.
Perk wasn't looking for any shelter on Tuesday, continuing his reputation on the team as a stand-up guy.
"I blame it on myself," he said. "I'm a man. Nobody makes me do that. I do it on my own. It's very hard because you're emotional and you're going to get into with sometimes, especially at the position I play, you're going to bang with people a lot. It's a lot of physical contact. It gets emotional at times."
|Sounds of the game… Celtics 98, Pistons 80
|11.21.08 at 12:03 am ET
The Celtics showed no mercy on the weary Detroit Pistons on Thursday night at TD Banknorth Garden, demolishing them, 98-80. The first quarter was a wake-up call as the Green fell behind 13-2 in the first three and a half minutes. But for the final three quarters, this one belonged entirely to the defending champs. Rajon Rondo looked better than he has all season, scoring 18 and controlling Allen Iverson and the tempo all night. This was the second time this season the 11-2 Celtics have owned Detroit, beating them 88-76 back on Nov. 9. There are 69 games remaining but it's hard to imagine anyone in the East knocking the Celtics out of the top perch. Next up tonight, Kevin Garnett gets to actually play in his return to Minnesota to take on the Timberwolves. Last year, he had to sit on the sidelines because of an injury.

|Celtics-Pistons Game Blog: Second Quarter
|11.20.08 at 6:53 pm ET
SECOND QUARTER WRAP: The Celtics second unit was hot early in the second and pushed the lead up to 38-27. But the Pistons got physical and are within nine half. They're looking to battle and the Celtics will have to come out hot in the third quarter to stave off a comeback.
Halftime Notes and Numbers:
- Iverson leads all scorers with 12. Rondo and Tony Allen lead the Celtics with 9 apiece.
- Both teams have 16 points in the paint and the rest of the stat lines are very similar.
- The Pistons are outrebounding the Celtics 18-16 while the Celtics have one more assist, 11-10.
Paul has you covered after a entertaining halftime performance by the Bucket Boys.
– At the half, Celtics 49, Pistons 40
– Two days after saying KG is "crazier" than him on the court, Perk got T'ed up at the end of the second after Maxiell fouled Pierce at the hoop.
– There is talk of a heated relationship between UConn alums Ray Allen and Rip Hamilton, but few details are known. We're getting a glimpse into that tonight with Hamilton knocking Allen over for an offensive foul. Hamilton had something to say about it as they ran down the court.
– A little kid dressed in an oversized Bill Walker jersey just won Sarah Brightman tickets in a tot-sized road race. What are the chances he has her songs on iTunes?
– The Celtics have their starters back on the court and the Pistons have all but Wallace out there.
– Both Ray Allen and House have missed free throws this quarter. It was House's first miss of the season and Allen's fourth.
– Eddie House is feeling it. After Powe swatted away a Prince drive, House nailed a three on the fast break. He drained another trey on the next possession, prompting the Pistons to call a timeout down 38-27.
– Rip Hamilton completely faked out Tony Allen at the top of the key. TA has learned from his mistakes and didn't get tricked into fouling him on the shot a la last season against Chauncey Billups.
– During a timeout the Celtics played their first "slow dance" of the year on the Jumbotron. It was a slo-mo of awesomely bad dance moves from the Garden set to the awesomely bad Lonestar ballad, "Amazed."
– Now Aaron Afflalo is guarding Powe (??) … now Afflalo's on the ground. Powe's at the line shooting two.
– Scal for three. And the crowd goes wild.
– I was hoping for a physical match up between Powe and Maxiell considering the trouble the Pistons big man gave Perk last season. But Big Baby is on Maxiell and Powe has Prince. Powe should be able to back Prince down in the paint.
– For the first time in a while, Doc is going with an entire second unit. Usually he leaves PIerce or Ray Allen on the court with the reserves, but now he's giving the lineup of Scal, Powe, Davis, Tony Allen, and House a look. Michael Curry's going with Iverson, Stuckey, Prince, Afflalo, and Wallace.
– After another slow start, the Celtics enter the second quarter tied 21-21 with the Pistons.
|Richardson Still Unimpressed by Celtics
|11.18.08 at 8:56 pm ET
This time last year Quentin Richardson wasn't buying into the hype surrounding the Big Three. To him, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett were just another handful of players who hadn't won a championship. Despite their hot start to the 2008 season, Richardson wasn't in awe.
"It's not that big a deal to us," the New York Knicks forward told the New York Post last year. "It's like the media makes more of The Big Three and all of them. We're not in awe of them. They ain't won no championships. They have a good record right now, but that don't matter."
At the time, Pierce shrugged it off.
"You know what? I really don't get caught up in all that talk," Pierce said. "He's going to say what he's going to say to try to motivate his team. We don't need to be motivated. We're a self-motivated team and we're going to go out there and take care of business."
Fast forward 12 months. The Knicks faced off against the Celtics on Tuesday night in Boston for a heated battle that included plenty of trash-talking and technical fouls to go around. This time the Knicks were playing the defending NBA champions. This time … was no different than the last for Richardson.
'I think a few of those guys know they can't just say anything to us," he said following the Celtics tension-filled 110-101 victory. "I'm just real curious to see what those guys will be saying if we weren't in a basketball league and didn't have referees. I mean it wouldn't be the same story. I mean they are the World Champions and rah-rah-rah, but the tough part I don't factor. I come from a neighborhood where you can say what you want to say, but til you do something, it don't mean nothing. Some of those guys are happy to get a ring, but you ain't been in the league long enough to talk to people like that. I don't have a lot of respect for that. Like I said, I'd be curious to hear what they have to say in a different setting, I'd be very curious to see that.'
A year later, Pierce is still shrugging off Richardson's rants.
'We just have to keep our composure," the Celtics captain said. "The Knicks try to get you to play their game with the talking and the small ball. We can't get caught up in the way they're playing. We have to play our game and take advantage of what we do out there well.'
Don't expect this to be the last heard from Richardson. The Celtics and Knicks will see each other again three times this season. Next up, December 21 at the Garden.
|Celtics Know How to Beat Knicks without Garnett
|11.17.08 at 7:11 pm ET
On Tuesday night the Boston Celtics will take on the New York Knicks without Kevin Garnett as he serves a one-game suspension for his conduct on Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Garnett was penalized without pay for striking Andrew Bogut in the face in the fourth quarter of the Celtics 102-97 overtime win. Bogut's foul on Garnett was also upgraded to a Flagrant Foul Penalty One on Monday.
This isn't the first time the team has been without KG since acquiring him nearly 16 months ago. Last season Garnett sat out nine games with an abdominal strain that he suffered on a game-saving play against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Celtics went 7-2 during that stretch.
This isn't the first time the team will take on the Knicks without KG either. Last February 13 the Celtics defeated them 111-103 at Madison Square Garden.
So how did the Celtics get it done without Garnett?
(I know, I know, beating the Knicks isn't earth shattering but the Celtics still have to make adjustments.)
That night Paul Pierce and Ray Allen combined for 45 points, 13 rebounds, and 12 assists. The duo hit 17-of-18 from the free throw line (Allen missed one). Rajon Rondo also shot 64% from the field to score 18 points. Garnett wasn't the only starter out of the lineup that night. Kendrick Perkins was sidelined as well, so Leon Powe and Brian Scalabrine got the starts in their place. Powe chipped in 18 points while Scal lasted just under three minutes before James Posey took over.
On the defensive end, they limited the Knicks to 29% three-point shooting and held them to 20 assists (the Celtics dished 29). The Cs also blocked six shots to the Knicks zero.
The Celtics turned to their bench to get it done last time and Tuesday night will be no different.

The web is built on one factor: content. Providing content to content-hungry webmasters and publishers all over the Internet is a virtual goldmine. Savvy online business owners like you are getting real and lasting results from article marketing, including free publicity, more traffic, increased sales, and of course tons of links from the major search engines like Google and Yahoo.
And because it is simple, effective, and economically feasible, many Internet marketers are now turning to article marketing as one of their marketing secret weapons.
But like any other Internet marketing strategies, the process of article submission is not as straight-forward as it seems. It may sound simple enough to the layman, but then it also has some loopholes which, if you are not careful, will pull you down into the cesspool of failure for your article marketing campaign.
These loopholes are actually common mistakes made by people who take things for granted. And because of this, they commit the 6 common deadly sins of article marketing which I have outlined below.
1. The use of automated article submission software programs.
I am sure that you would have heard of many article distribution software programs promising a solution to the rather tedious and time consuming task of having to submit your articles to many directories. It all sounds so good that even yours truly jumped on the bandwagon without much hesitation.
But here is the painful truth: there is absolutely no particular article submission software that is built to last. You may be surprised, but the fact is that most of these programs do not serve their purpose well. The main reason is because many article directories realize that these software programs are potential hazards for abuse which may be damaging to both their image and businesses, and so they will change their systems to dissuade the use of such programs.
The best solution is still to use manual submission for your article marketing campaigns. If you feel that you are too lazy to do it (Like me), you can always pay a freelancer to do the job for you. Another practical alternative is to subscribe to manual distribution services that are widely available everywhere in the market today.
2. Peppering your article with all kinds of affiliate links
One of the requirements for most article directories is that you should not include any affiliate links anywhere within your article. Now, why are they so particular about this? The reason is because if they dont keep the links in check, then the directories will soon turn into one messed-up advertising site. So if you inexplicably add an affiliate link in your article, then it will be rejected without any prior notice. However, if you must use an affiliate link, then what you can do is to host that link in your own website, and then include the URL of your site in the resource box at the end of your article.
3. Submitting your article to the same directory more than once
Most of the article directories will despise you if you submit an article to the same directory more than once. If you are really caught doing that, then the directory will finish you off by banning your account, and let you go on your own merry way.
4. Submitting the same article to many directories
This is a favorite practice among many Internet marketers, but it is not the right way. Here is why: the search engines will notice the sudden and unnatural increase in your number of back links due to the fact that you submit to so many directories at once, and the spiders will categorize the same as dubious. Once you got found out, your back links may not even count as valid.
In order to avoid such a situation, you need to adopt a safer approach, and submit your articles at a slower pace. It is important to take note that most of your back links will come from publishers and webmasters who pick up your article and publish it online, so just take things slow and steady.
5. Submitting the contents in your website as articles to directories
Do you find anything wrong with the above statement? Yes, I know that it sounds innocent enough, but it is actually not fundamentally correct. Wait, please hear me out before you start calling me names.
You see, the search engines can consider your content as a duplicate, and may even de-index such a page. The idea is that you would want nothing but unique content for your own website. And the word unique means that the content needs to provide something that people are looking for which they cannot find anywhere else.
5. Submitting un-edited Private Label articles
Have you signed up for any private label packages? If you have, then I am sure that you are very tempted to just submit the articles as they are without any editing, because it would take some time for you to come up with a completely different version from the originals. This can be a fatal mistake.
Article directories simply do not like un-edited private label articles, as it puts the integrity of their services on the chopping board. Furthermore, it will promote spamming if they dont stop the submission of duplicate articles.

TOO LATE FOR A VERY IMPORTANT DATEMature
I backed away quickly. My back slammed into the wall, my knees buckled and I landed on the floor, my hands pressed to my mouth. This wasn't purgatory. This was hell. "Deep breaths Demi," The boy's voice was far away and distant. Dead, I was dead. My mouth was slack, slightly open, still clean shaven. Eyes were half open, green irises peeking out beneath white lids. I stood slowly, knees shaking. I was a fragile doe that had wandered into unknown territory. The buck watched on, nostrils flared, ears twitching. I was safe. Safe. Creeping forward, I reached out my long slender fingers and brushed the crew cut on my head. It was strange, seeing myself like this. I wasn't afraid anymore. Curious, yes. Afraid? Not anymore. I was a soldier, tough to the bone and ready for whatever life threw at me. I had to be that way. I would have died long ago if I wasn't.
The face was stiff, but the ears were pliable. Margaret always liked to play with them, pinching them, pulling my face down to her. My little girl, how could I have forgotten? Oh God…Sally. I suddenly felt sick to my stomach. I glanced down at the lumps of flesh that adhered to my chest. I was some sort of monster now. I didn't belong like this.
Football games, pompoms, school fights, lunch, biology, senior year, stupid teachers, stupid, stupid…
I reeled away from the body, my head throbbing. That hidden side of me was rebelling, fighting against the tidal wave of teenage girl memories. I was a soldier. Fight the new war, fight.
Hands guided me to the ground. Arms cradled my head. Whispers in my ear, kisses on my forehead. My heart throbbed, my mind throbbed, my everything throbbed. The dead body on the slab told tales of battle and a love so powerful it transcended death. The boy, Sally, little Margaret.
Come home soon, Daddy. I love you Daddy.
Love was a lie.
I awoke to discover that the boy had dragged me from the room. It was my third awakening since my damned rebirth. He told me about the tank of water he found and how he'd seen the round circles on my spinal cord from the wires they'd inserted there. I was only half listening to his ramblings. I was trying to think. Who was this boy? He had no memories of any life beyond this place. I decided to test him.
Interrupting his recounting of the events that happened during my slumber, I queried, "Who is the United States at war with?"
He stared at me for a half a second, then looked away murmuring, "New North Africa,"
I nodded, "Okay, what city was destroyed two years ago in a terrorist attack?"
He fumbled over the name, but managed to get it out, "New York City,"
"Who is the president?"
"Abram Wilkes,"
"How old are you?"
"I don't know,"
Sighing, I turned away from him to stare into the glassy eyes of an old woman with a smile plastered on her frozen face. "No way," He whispered behind me. I ignored him. My mind drifted to a song that I couldn't remember the name of. Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme…
"Demi, you have to see this," Leave me alone. But I said nothing. I refused to answer him. I knew I was being childish and stubborn, but I didn't care. He could be the last human being on earth and at that moment I wouldn't have anything to do with him.
"It's a way out for God's sake!"
That got my attention. I twirled around and followed his gaze upwards. A perfect circle was on the ceiling, a rusty handle dangling freely beneath it. Beyond, wonderland.

First of all, sorry to hear about this. You may have a claim, but unfortunately theres a LOT of factors involved here. The best thing to do is to get your medical records and figure out who is involved, e.g.. nurses, doctors, anyone on your medical records. The next step is to see if anyone made a mistake resulting in legal liability.
To go through this analysis, best see a lawyer, most will do free consults because of the nature of your case.

It is a civil case but will it go criminal? Can someone else take the blame?
This is NOT a scam, and may be very serious (not criminal, though). I would NOT rely on websites like the above given -- while well-intentioned, the commentaries on those sites are not made by lawyers and are usually a outdated and give bad advise (I have seen people really get screwed-over because of the above advice). Also, each jurisdiction is different. One Court may not like these cases and chose to dismiss the case and others will allow them to continue. For example, in TN, where you are, the lawsuits are thriving.
I have worked dozens of these cases on both sides of the fence. The best thing to do is to find an attorney in your area who knows these cases and knows the local district court judges. Check the eff subpoena list. https://www.eff.org/issues/file-sharing/subpoena-defense Then, you should ask your attorney to file a motion to quash.
Lastly, this goes without question, if you do not take action you could find yourself subject to a default judgement. While many of the anti-copyright attorneys (like the above) believe these cases are dying and like to thumb their noses at them, there are lots and lots of default judgements occurring under their noses. I've seen them range up to $150,000. On average, I'd say they are around $10-30k.See question

Sorry to hear this. As a lawyer, I like to think a lawyer is more than an "advocate" during such tough times.

Item description for Beautiful Girls by Beth Ann Bauman...Beautiful Girls is a dazzling debut collection about the secret lives of girls and women. The characters who inhabit Beth Ann Bauman's stories are the timid, the not-quite-fabulous, the public school Ophelias, who yearn for something grander than their current lot. Told with irresistible humor and remarkable grace, these stories illuminate the search for love, friendship, connection, and identity.
In "True," an exquisitely shy teenage girl tries to fathom the hidden secrets of beauty from a boy who's "the prettiest person in the entire school." A lonely divorce in "Safeway," wanders the darkened aisles of a grocery store during a power outage, and becomes "certain a touch of rot had taken root in her heart...and that she still might live better." In "Wash, Rinse, Spin", a hapless young woman loses her laundry and must resort to the decrepit wardrobe she wore while working in B movies, as her dying father fades in her hometown. And in the title story, voracious girls who long for love and admiration compete in a town pageant.
From the fierce bonds among sisters, to the discoveries of a girl who roams her neighborhood in the wee hours of the morning, to the allure of a tropical paradise where anything feels possible, Beautiful Girls explores what it means to be a woman in the modern world, looking for a place to call home.
At once magical, tender, and wise, this book establishes Beth Ann Bauman as a bold new literary voice.

Can you rep[lace a tcc switch on a 2003 kia rio?
Can you replace a tcc switch in the transmission on 2003 Kia Rio
(1) Answer
| |
Absolutely. It's not something you should have your normal mechanic perform, but a reputable transmission shop will have no problem. Make sure you call around and check prices and then check the reviews of the shops your thinking of using. If they try and sell you more than just the TCC solenoid replacement, make sure you take the time and have another shop verify that your transmission needs the extra work. A little time spent making sure you only get the repairs you need can save you ALOT of $! Good luck, Jeff

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Just wanted to get peoples opinion on barefoot trainers, im training currently for the edinburgh marathon and here good things about barefoot trainers but worry will get bad knee problems, i currently just run in neutrals. Anyone have any good or bad experiences from them?
i ran in some once, they were just painful. I did a relatively quick run over 5 miles.
I have heard people rave about them though. I think it is just what you are used to, from going from cushioned trainers to barefoot, for me it was pretty awful
To emphasis cougie's point... if you were thinking of May 2014, you might just have time to convert. Otherwise, you legs will drop off half-way round.
I've had less (no) knee problems since switching to minimalist shoes (I run mostly in VivoBarefoot Neo/Neo Trail). But you don't want to try to transition between now and Edinburgh marathon this year - you need to start with very short runs and work up the distances gradually.
It's a good feeling though, very liberating! If you decide to do it, find some smooth tarmac, and run in your bare feet on that for three or four minutes; You may well notice that your running style changes automatically.
There's loads of useful stuff on t'interweb about it, (look up Vivobarefoot) and go for it.
I did a seven mile run on the moors in bare feet a couple of days ago - no wear and tear on shoes, and it felt (mainly) really good, through wet bits, streams, peaty paths, skipping on and off rocks, dry grass, slabs...it's like being a kid again.
I don't know how it'd work for racing, but then I'm not a racer!

Advertisers back away from NBA's LA Clippers
Advertisers are backing away from the Los Angeles Clippers after racist comments attributed to the NBA team's owner.
Used car dealership chain CarMax, airline Virgin America, and the Chumash Casino Resort said Monday that they are ending their sponsorships of the Clippers in the wake of comments allegedly made by the team's owner, Donald Sterling.
Two other sponsors, Kia Motors America and Red Bull, said they are suspending their advertising and sponsorship activities with the team. Another sponsor, insurerState Farm, said it "will be taking a pause in our relationship with the organization."
The incident highlights the risks that companies face when they make sponsorship deals. The deals can bring goodwill when things are going well, but brands face a tough spot when they link themselves with teams or athletes that become mired in controversy. Advertising experts say that once the bad news it out there, a negative association could have already been made in the eyes of consumers.
Allen Adamson, managing director of research firm Landor Associates, said there's little benefit for brands to stick with their sponsorship deals in this instance.
"There's some benefit in moving quickly," he said. "You can always renew your sponsorship later, but the longer you're linking your brand to a brand in trouble, the higher the risk."

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Jamir Jones and his Aquinas Institute teammates came up with a big stop as time expired to seal their 17-14 win over Rush-Henrietta in the Section V Class AA championship game on Sunday at Sahlen's Stadium.
After trailing 7-6 at halftime, the Little Irish took a 14-7 lead midway through the fourth quarter and then held off the Royal Comets to win their ninth sectional championship in the last 10 years. Aquinas Institute was forced to forfeit its sectional win last year due to an ineligible player.
"It just feels great to not be the team that let it up and lost on this field," Jones said. "No other team has lost on this field in the last 10 years and that means a lot to us."
Aquinas Institute (10-0) kicked a field goal in the fourth quarter then got a big defensive stop that could have ended the game had the Little Irish offense not jumped offside on a 4th-and-inches attempt. Jake Zembiec's quarterback sneak was erased and Aquinas Institute punted the ball back to the Royal Comets, who took over at their own 38 with 1:08 left in the game.
Rush-Henrietta quarterback Jared Gerbino led the Royal Comets to within striking distance but his pass into the end zone fell incomplete as the clock struck zero.
"We never panic; never give up," Jones said. "We just kept playing our game. We knew that we'd make plays and stop them on defense and that's what we did."
Jones finished the game with two catches for 32 yards, including a first down grab on the Little Irish's go-ahead touchdown drive.
"I just did what was asked," he said. "I ran my routes right and then our line held up and Jake delivered the ball where it needed to be. I just made plays."
He also recorded four stops, including one on a botched punt.
Jones spent most of the night chasing down Gerbino.
"He's a great athlete," Jones said. "We were just confused. When he'd roll out we'd go to tackle him and he'd just find a way with three guys on him, find a way to flick the ball into the end zone. My job was to contain Gerbino. Wherever he was I was and that's what I tried to do. I had to stay low on him because he's a huge guy. Like I said, he's a great athlete and hard to bring down. It was definitely a great game by him."

While the vast majority of NYC homes are represented by a listing agent (FSBO—or For Sale By Owner—listings are relatively rare in NYC) whose 5-6% commission is paid by the seller, buyers do not have to pick one real estate broker with whom to work exclusively, nor do they have to work with one at all.
Some buyers fly solo and deal directly with the seller's broker because they believe it gives them an edge in a competitive bidding situation. They theorize that because the seller's broker won't have to split a 5% or 6% commission with a buyer's broker, the seller's broker may subtly or not so subtly encourage the seller to accept it. In a slower market, some buyers choose to work directly with the seller's broker in order to ask the seller's agent to kick in a percentage point of the commission toward the purchase price.
Whether most buyers successfully wrangle that extra percentage point is unclear. Moreover, as this New York Times article explains, working directly with the seller's agent--whose loyalties are divided between buyer and seller--is a bad idea in pretty much every other way. Among other things, you won't have a real advocate during contract negotiations, and you may not hear about problems with the apartment or the building or resale potential.

Designed for law enforcement officers, the rechargeable R1 Lawman LED flashlight features a maximum output of 750 lumens, and head and tailcap switches that are user programmable. This dual-fuel capable light also has the ability to run on either its included rechargeable lithium-ion (li-ion) battery or two disposable or rechargeable 123A cells. The Lawman's precision micro-textured reflector produces a smooth, wide beam with extensive reach and generous peripheral illumination, perfect for a broad range of police and security applications including temporarily blinding opponents.
The Lawman's tactical tailcap switch activates the 750-lumen output - press for momentary-on, twist for constant-on. If programmed by the user to do so, pressing the tailcap switch three times rapidly will activate the high-intensity strobe mode. A separate click-type head switch lets you access three light levels: high (750 lumens), medium (150 lumens), and low (15 lumens)or it can be programmed to activate high output only.
Charging of the li-ion rechargeable battery is accomplished via the integral charging port on the side of the Lawman's body, no need to remove the battery or place the light in a separate charging cradle. Both wall (AC) charger with international adapters and car (DC) charger are included. Constructed from tough aerospace aluminum that is Mil-Spec hard anodized for extreme durability, the Lawman is O-ring and gasket sealed to keep out moisture, dirt, and dust.
Specifications:Output / Runtime:High - 750 Lumens / 1.75 HoursMedium - 150 Lumens / 5.25 HoursLow - 15 Lumens / 37 HoursLength: 8.1"Bezel Diameter: 1.62"Weight w/Batteries: 10.2 ozPowerSource: 1-Rechargeable Lithium Ion or 2-C123A
NOTE: When disposable 123A batteries are used in the R1 Lawman (1) the maximum output is 500 lumens; (2) medium and low output levels remain the same as with li-ion battery use; (3) runtimes at all settings are roughly 75% of li-ionbattery runtimes.
Strobe Warning: Exposure to strobing lights may cause dizziness, disorientation, and nausea. A very small percentage of people suffer from photosensitive epilepsy - approximately .00025% of the populationand may experience seizures or blackouts triggered by strobing lights.

'An Army of Brigadiers: British Brigade Commanders at the Battle of Arras 1917' by Trevor Harvey
From 03 June 2017 09:45 until 10:45
Posted by David Tattersfield
0207 118 1914
Categories: WFA national events and conferences
Hits: 1322
Brigades have been regarded as the building blocks upon which the BEF was built. At the same time, brigade commanders have been regarded by both some contemporaries, and some historians, as being responsible for little more than routine training and administration.
In this talk, Trevor Harvey will draw on his recently published study of 116 brigadier-generals whose formations played some part in the Battle of Arras.
His presentation is based on a number of case studies of individual brigadier-generals during a critical period during the Great War, the period from late in the Battle of the Somme to the end of the Battle of Arras in mid-May 1917.
From the evidence gathered, a series of threads about the responsibilities and actions that brigade commanders share have been identified. By applying these threads the case will be presented that the orthodox 'administration and training' interpretation of the role of brigadier-generals has been both unnecessarily narrow and unduly limited.
