Jones School Leadership
January 30, 2008 — Responding to requests from applicants seeking a high quality MBA program on a weekend schedule, the Jones Graduate School of Management at Rice University is adding a new weekend option in the Rice MBA for Professionals program. The Jones School already offers a weekend program through the Rice MBA for Executives program; however, the Executives program is designed for individuals with 14 years of work experience.
Beginning in fall 2009, the second weekend format creates flexibility for young professionals pursuing the prestigious Rice MBA. The current Professionals program with classes held Monday and Wednesday evenings has been popular following its launch in 2006. The new option covers the same rigorous curriculum and meets alternating weekends on Friday evenings and all day Saturday.
"Our current MBA for Professionals program offered on weeknights has experienced tremendous success, however, we recognized that there was an underserved market for a high-quality weekend MBA for professionals in Houston," said Melissa Blakeslee, director of admissions for the Jones School. "The Jones School recognized an opportunity to provide greater value and add flexibility to the program."
The Rice MBA for Professionals program was designed for individuals who are interested in accelerating their careers by earning an MBA, but who want to continue working. All Rice MBA programs share the same rigorous curriculum and full-time faculty as well as the cutting-edge facilities of McNair Hall located on the Rice University campus. The Rice MBA programs combine a highly effective core with the flexibility of selecting from a variety of electives.
In these increasingly challenging times, the Jones School at Rice University continuously focuses on innovating ideas to meet the changing demands of the business world," said Jones School Dean Bill Glick. "We especially strive to contribute to the Houston economy by providing the next generation of leaders with increased educational and career opportunities and the leadership and business skills needed for success."

When To See A Doctor:
Listen to your body. Several signs will indicate to you when you should see your doctor:
Pain is severe or persists
Inability to move the injured part of your body
The injury does not appear to be healing
Immediate Care of Injuries:
The immediate care of common sports injuries (sprains, strains,contusions, etc.) consists of a four step program that should be followed as soon as an injury occurs, whether or not you go to a physician. The four part program is called R I C E, and stands for REST, ICE, COMPRESSION, and ELEVATION.
As soon as an injury occurs, it is important to stop the activity,immediately! To prolong stopping could cause further damage to the injured part. When a body part has become injured, the body reacts with an inflammatory process which causes swelling, redness, local increase of heat in the area, pain, and malfunction. The degree of each of these dependant on the severity of the injury.
Put ice on the injured part as soon as possible after the injury.Ice or cold, specifically, controls swelling by constricting the blood and lymph vessels, decreases muscle spasm (which often accompanies injury), and decreases some of the discomfort and pain caused by the inflammation. By reducing the swelling that collects around the injured area, the rehabilitation time will be lessened and you will be able to return to your sport more quickly.The ice should be applied for 20-30 minutes. It could be in the form of an ice bag, chemical packs, frozen vegetables, can of soda, snow, etc.. It should be applied every hour for the next several hours.
Compression also helps to limit swelling in the injured area. The compression should be applied concurrently with the cold treatment (a wet elastic bandage). After the ice treatment, a dry elastic wrap or tape should be applied comfortably firm not too tight to cut off circulation, or too loose to allow further swelling. If lackof sensation or numbness is felt the wrap is probably too tight.The use of felt or sponge pads around bony prominences (ankle bones)will insure even pressure around the injured part. The wrap should be loosened while going to bed, but worn continuously until the swelling has subsided (about 48-72 hours).
The fourth part of the treatment is to elevate the injured part while being compressed. In elevating, support should be placed under theentire limb. The height should be above the level of the HEART to help drain the excess fluid from the injured area. While sleeping,the compression wrap should be loosened and the foot of the bed or mattress raised by some suitable object (for injuries to the lower extremity) or the head of the bed or mattress raised for the upper extremity injuries.
RICE should be continued for at least 48-72 hours. Under no circumstances during this time should and form of heat be applied, including excessive time in hot showers or baths. That would just increase the swelling and inflammation. When you're sure the swelling has stopped, give yourself anextra day of RICE. During the acute (first 72 hours) stage of the injury, no other activity should be performed. Your body has been injured and will need all the help it can to heal the injury. This means optimal healing conditions-proper nutrition, your normal amount of sleep, and a positive attitude. The same amount of effort you placed in your athletic endeavors should be placed in your rehabilitation program.

Whereas under authority contained in the Act of Congress approved January 14, 1889 (25 Stat. L., 642), agreements were entered into with the Chippewa Indians of Minnesota, providing for the cession to the United States of all lands within the Bois Fort (Nett Lake), Fond du Lac, White Oak Point, Leech Lake, Cass Lake, Chippewa of the Mississippi, Winnibigoshish, and the White Earth Indian Reservations, all in the State of Minnesota, and such ceded lands of these reservations were opened to sale and entry under the homestead laws, the proceeds of such sale and entry to be placed to the credit of the Chippewa Indians of Minnesota, and Whereas there is now remaining undisposed of within the said ceded areas, approximately 29,000 acres of land, which is of little or no value for its original purpose of entry and settlement, but which will be of value to the Indians if restored to tribal ownership, and where practicable, consolidated by exchanges with other land owners, and
Whereas the Tribal Executive Committee of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, the General Council of the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, the Superintendents in charge of the Consolidated Chippewa and Red Lake Agencies and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs have recommended the restoration to tribal ownership of all undisposed-of lands included within the reservation cessions made under the said Act of January 14, 1889, supra, of lands within the reservations named above;
Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior by section 3 of the Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. L., 984), I hereby find that restoration to tribal ownership of all lands which are now, or may hereafter be, classified as undisposed-of opened lands of the reservations named herein, ceded by the Indians under the Act of January 14, 1889, supra, will be in the public interest, and the said lands are hereby restored to tribal ownership for the use and benefit of the Chippewa Indians of Minnesota, subject to any valid existing rights.

Nestled in a fertile agricultural basin where the South Esk and North Esk rivers join to form the Tamar, the city of Launceston (pronounced Lon-sess-tun), or Lonie to locals, is the commercial centre of Tasmania's northern region. Its abundance of unusual markets and shops is concentrated downtown (unlike Hobart, which has most of its stores in the historic centre, set apart from the commercial district).
Launceston is far from bustling, and has a notable number of pleasant parks, late-19th-century homes, historic mansions, and private gardens. The sumptuous countryside that surrounds the city—rolling farmland and the rich loam of English-looking landscapes—set off by the South Esk River meandering through towering gorges, is also appealing.
Outdoor Activities
There are plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife, fish, or birds in the lovely countryside surrouding Launceston and the Tamar Valley.
Nightlife and the Arts
The local Examiner is the best source of information on local nightlife and entertainment, but be warned: no one goes to Launceston to party.
Launceston is a convenient place for a little shopping, with most stores central on George Street and in nearby Yorktown Mall.

The sand scorpions living in deserts are one of the most dangerous enemies for small animals. The eyes of these scorpions are almost blind. In spite of this, they are able to determine the location of their prey at night with a great mastery.
Scientists have encountered a great system looking for an answer to "How does the scorpion achieve this flawless determination of location"?
He is Allah – the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Surat al-Hashr, 24)
In a computer network, the central computer determines the source and distance of waves according to incoming data. Then it informs each computer in the network what to do. A scorpion uses this system as well, which can be compared to that of equipped computers, in order to determine the location of its prey. The central computer system of a scorpion determines the location of the prey easily by using vibration and rayleigh waves (Surface waves produced on the air-ground interface are known as rayleigh waves) spread by its prey. For this system of perception, the Almighty Allah has created a very special system in the scorpion.
Now let's analyze this superior system of perception, which was created by our Almighty Allah. This system is evidence of the unique art of Creation.
How does a scorpion determine the direction of its prey?
Cleft-styled excellent sensors are located on the 8 feet of the scorpion.
These sensors are so sensitive that they are even able to determine movements causing vibrations, which are smaller than a millionth of a millimeter. Well, how do these sensors work and how does the scorpion find its prey's location?
1- The hunting's distance is being determined...
Let's imagine a butterfly has landed on a place near the scorpion.
The butterfly, landing on the ground, generates two types of vibration waves.
The first one is defined by forwarding volume waves with a speed of 150 meters per second. The second one is defined by waves called rayleigh waves, which are spread with a speed of 50 meters per second parallel to the surface. The distance to the prey is determined by the difference between these two waves' arriving time at the scorpion. Of course, it is not an accurate determination to know how far away the prey is.
Because of this, it is required to know the target's direction.
2- The hunting's direction is being determined...
The legs of a scorpion step on the ground on an approximately 5 centimeter diameter circle. Thus, the difference between the arriving of the prey's spread waves at the scorpion's nearest leg to the prey and the arriving at the farthest sensor is 5 milliseconds (one over two-hundredth of a second).
As soon as one of the sensors determines the rayleigh wave, nerve cells send a signal to the center of the scorpion's nervous system. This stimulating signal is also transmitted to the nerve, which perceives the delayed arriving waves of the three feet on the other side. Merely the waves coming from these three legs are pressed; therefore it is not transmitted to the center of the nervous system immediately. In this way, the foot generating the source for the signal, which comes early each time and the position of the feet on the other side are assessed. With this positional assessment the direction of the wave's source is determined.
3- The "Take action" order is coming...
If the difference between stimulating signal and the arriving of pressed signals at the sensors in the feet is one over five-hundredth of a second, the central nervous system perceives both signals at the same time without delay. This is interpreted by the scorpion as a "take action and use your excellently created arms for the attack" command.
The 8 nerve cells, which process the signals coming from the feet, are assembled like a committee and determine the direction of the prey each time with a common decision. How does this determination come true? Are the nerve cells assembled for this in order to make a situation assessment? Do they decide among themselves and have results? This is impossible by all means. Nerve cells are microscopical extensions merely consisting of protein, fat and water. They don't possess reason, consciousness and ability to judge.
The possessor of this superior system in the scorpion is the Almighty Allah to Whom belong all worlds. The scorpion is a miracle showing the Almighty Allah's flawless creation. Our Almighty Allah invites people to contemplate concerning this truth in the Qur'an as follows:
Mankind! an example has been made, so listen to it carefully. Those whom you call upon besides Allah are not even able to create a single fly, even if they were to join together to do it. And if a fly steals something from them, they cannot get it back. How feeble are both the seeker and the sought! (Surat al Hajj, 73 )
Scorpions have been determining the location of their prey with the same method for millions of years
The mechanism of former scorpions is equal to those living today since being created. It is a misbelief of evolutionists that this mechanism developed by coincidence in the course of time or was added later.
Neither the former scorpions had a more primitive mechanism of perception, nor today's scorpions have a more complex mechanism of perception. The system nowadays is exactly of the same complexity as the system of scorpions lived millions of years ago. The reason for this is that a superior knowledge-possessing, single Creator has created both the scorpion and his mechanism.
This knowledge of flawless systems belongs to Allah Who has created everything flawlessly.
A very important point has to be reminded by all means. For the scorpion, its feature is only means to survive. Human beings are the only entities who are able to see the complex structure and miraculous nature of this system. Some human beings are only able to receive the given message and direct themselves to the Creator, realizing these facts.
This fact is revealed in the Qu'ran as follows:
"And such are the Parables We set forth for mankind, but only those understand them who have knowledge." (Surat al Ankabut, 43)

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Besides having the Florida kitsch factor down with a scenic Intracoastal view, a cozy bar, and funky antique tubs and toilets, Le Tub has some damn good food too. Its decadent key lime pie is one of the finest this side of the Seven Mile Bridge. After devouring a slice, you'll be dreaming about it for weeks. That's right. You and a tub full of key lime pie -- the stuff dreams are made of.
For Indian food regulars who want to avoid those awkward moments of ordering beef curry from a Hindu waiter, the simple way is to go vegetarian. Bombay Cafe has powerfully tasty vegetarian dishes that'll make most carnivores forget about the lack of animal flesh. The chick peas in the chole-bhatura are cooked perfectly al dente in a potent tomato-based broth, and the plain uttapam combines the simplicity of a poster-sized rice pancake with aromatic lentil soup. Everything at this simple restaurant is made on-premises, even the yogurt, which flavors the sweet lassi so well, and the roti, an oven-roasted bread. Best of all, your vegetarian feast will set you back only about $5 -- not a bad price for a clear conscience.
Q: Ever watch reality-TV shows?
A: I watch absolutely no TV. I work every night.
Q: Never?
A: All right, Monday. My day off. On Monday, I have to watch Fear Factor because my 10-year-old daughter, Margeaux, insists on it. It's kind of fun to watch with her. She's always comparing herself to the girls on the show. She says, "I could do that."
Q: Are there parts of the show you don't like?
A: When they eat slugs and things like that. I'm not crazy about that.
Q: Is that the restaurateur talking?
A: Not really. That whole segment of the show -- I usually walk away from it. It'll definitely kill your appetite.
Q: How about your daughter?
A: She can stomach it a little better than I can.
Q: Is the show in any way real?
A: It's interesting to see what people will do for $50,000. Is that real? I don't know.
Q: Can you learn anything from Fear Factor?
A: Jeez, I don't think so. It's kind of like a strange sports game.
Q: What does your daughter get out of it?
A: Just the sensation of it, I think. She's very competitive, very athletic. A major soccer player and a junior lifeguard. I think the competition is what she enjoys, especially when the girls are competing against the guys. That's Margeaux.
If the name seems like a mouthful, well, the large servings of fresh fish and shellfish justify it. A retail seafood market on one side and an attractive, casual dining spot on the other, Waves isn't all foam and froth like some of its trendy contemporaries. Yet its preparations are still modern -- Asian shrimp-noodle soup, coconut shrimp, lump crab "fingers," shrimp scampi with roasted tomatoes. Feeling traditional? Waves also offers lobster dinners à la beach parties in Cape Cod, with a Maine steamed lobster, mussels, clams, ears of corn, and new red potatoes. Best of all, your belly may make you feel as if you won't be riding any waves too soon lest you get a cramp, and your wallet won't be much lighter -- Waves is as reasonably priced as it is filling.
It's no secret that Chinese takeout isn't always healthful. But there is hope. Wingloon's lengthy menu features all the traditional Chinese-American fare; sweet and sour chicken, moo goo gai pan, beef lo mein, among others. But this drive-through and takeout restaurant is looking out for today's health-conscious consumer. In addition to a vegetarian menu including broccoli and mushrooms with garlic sauce, and sautéed string beans, any of their chicken or beef dishes can be prepared with tofu, and they will omit salt, sugar, or cornstarch. You just have to ask.
Let's be honest. You're cheap, and you always will be. So you might as well put on the plaid pants and baby-blue blazer and go for the early-bird special at Spoto's. Between 5 and 6 p.m., the upscale raw bar in downtown West Palm Beach throws in a salad, dessert, and drink for the price of your entrée. That's a value of about $20, which, you might as well admit, is more than you spent on your mother's last birthday present. The deal includes a spicy tomato, mozzarella, and red onion salad with a well-aged vinaigrette. It's a good complement to the onion-crusted yellowtail snapper at $21.75. Or pair the house salad, with its wheat-beer vinaigrette, with the bouillabaisse, which includes a half-pound lobster, clams, mussels, and nearly still-swimming chunks of fish. Eat quick and you can be in bed by 8.

Anyone please let me know how to choose the correct Xhmtl doc-type, whether i have to choose strict or transitional.
Transitional is stupid and not really practical for todays use much...it's basically for those in a transitional period to strict. So always choose strict doctypes :).
Now, as for which oen to pick. You can either use XHTML or HTML. If you use an XHTML doctype, make sure you feed a meta tag which serves the page as text/xhtml because otherwise you aren't REALLY doing XHTML. It's FAKE XHTML. And if you DO SERVE IT as text/xhtml, then IE can't play along. Which means it's not feasible today.
So based off those facts, you only have one choice really (and the choice I always do). HTML Strict. Enjoy this doctype.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Transitional indicates that the page still contains HTML 3.2 tags (the previous standard that was replaced in 1997). Such tags were sometimes necessary as late as 2005 (when Netscape 4 died out) in order to make up for the deficiencies in old browsers with their lack of support for CSS. There has been no reason whatever for creating new web sites using transitional since then. The only sites still using transitional are supposed to be those created before 2005 that are still in the process of reworking the code to get rid of the HTML 3.2. Once all the 3.2 is gone those sites can then change their doctype to strict (which indicates that the site only uses HTML 4 or XHTML 1 tags - depending on which of the two doctypes is used).
XHTML 1 transitional which contains HTML 3.2 tags should be served as HTML since the HTML 3.2 tags are not a part of XHTML. The pages should be switched to use the strict doctype before attempting to serve the pages as XHTML. Serving pages as XHTML is still a few years away from becoming practical though since there are still too many people using IE8 and earlier which don't support XHTML to use it yet. There is nothing wrong with using an XHTML doctype if you plan on switching to using XHTML once IE8 dies out though - as long as you are aware that there are significant differences between the way JavaScript interacts with XHTML and the way it interacts with HTML and so all of your javaScript will need to be reviewed when you do switch from HTML to XHTML to check that the scripts still work.
Lots of complication for choosing the doc type!
Warning: the following text is all gobblegobblegobble. Thank you for flying!
A note:
First, another vote for Strict. If you are creating a new web page, there is no reason to use anything other than strict. This is for YOUR benefit, though, not the browser's.This is because browsers do very little with doctypes. In fact, a browser will only ever do one thing with your doctype: check to see if your doctype indicates that your web page was written in the 1990s or modern times. This is because browser vendors found it convenient to use the state of your doctype to decide if they should use outdated CSS rules when displaying the page or not. This is called "doctype switching." It's clever, and a bit silly.
The "new" so-called HTML5 doctype ( <!doctype html> ) is considered "standard" by all the user agents you care about, so this counts as a "modern" doctype. You may safely use it if you've been thinking of it.
So what's a doctype for, and why does it matter if it's just for doctype switching? It's for YOU. It's for the HTML validator(s), which is a tool useful to YOU as a developer. The validator helps check if your document is following the rules proposed by your chosen doctype.
Adding a meta tag will not (necessarily) set what how your document is read. You can make a meta tag saying<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="foo/bar; charset=blah">and you could still have flowers and puppies.
This is because unless your server serving the page isn't telling the browser what the page is, browsers ignore this line (same with the charset: if the server is setting the charset in a header, the browser can and will ignore the meta tag, because the server has precedence).
The reason you don't put gobbeldygook in that tag is because what if the server ISN'T sending the right MIME type? Then you're in trouble. Supposedly, if "foo/bar" or even "foo" is not understood, the agent isn't supposed to even try to display the information at all. It should give a MIME type error.
If you have "text/foo", then the agent can fall back to "text/plain" if it has to. If it does, you'll see the HTML tags on the screen
And lastly this is why even if you wanted to serve a page as XHTML, first the server would have to send the correct MIME type, and if it didn't and you usedtext/xhtmlany user agent who doesn't understand that can and will fall back to text/plain. Which you don't want.
Instead you'd have type="application/xhtml+xml" and here, the agent should understand "application" is something that's not text, and if it doesn't understand "xhtml" it can fall back to "xml" which often still does what you want.
So.Using an XHTML strict doctype and a meta tag stating this document is application/xhtml+xml served from a server who sends along the HTTP Header stating the document is really text/html, then what you have... is an HTML document with a bunch of silly slashes, which are considered errors, and ignored. Weee....
What felgall said about how scripts work in real XHTML... they've made even more changes if you are using XHTML5 (so far as I can gather, you have XHTML5 if you are sending application/xhtml+xml to a user agent who has an HTML5 parser). It will parse the page as XHTML using some of the new rules added to XML and XHTML. I tried to read what those differences were but me engrish not bestest there.
Not really.
Unless you have a specific reason to choose otherwise you should use:
If you have a reason for using a different doctype then you wouldn't be asking which one to use.
My vote now is to use:<!DOCTYPE html>
It's the HTML5 DOCTYPE, though it's perfectly acceptable for HTML 4.01 as well. It's not truly understood by older browsers, but it won't hurt them.
I'll generally agree with samanime, but when I go to the validator, I tell it to act as if the page is XHTML1.0 Strict. Cause I want it to yell at me if I forgot to close a </p> or a </li> or didn't quote some attribute.
It is actually the short version of the SGML doctype for HTML 2 through HTML 4. HTML 5 doesn't have an SGML doctype because it doesn't follow the SGML standard - instead it currently has an HTML tag that looks like the short version of the HTML 2 doctype. Presumably once HTML 5 gets past the working draft they will add a different doctype to it so as to identify the difference between that and the current version since there are so many tags and attributes there that are alternatives for the same thing and obviously they will not all still be there once the standard is completed.
You can't validate against a specific version of HTML if you use the short version of the doctype. (That's a second reason why they'll need a different doctype once HTML 5 actually exists).
They won't, though. They've said they don't believe in versions anymore and call HTML a "living standard". Kinda worthless for developers but, there you have it.
You can tell the validator to validate as HTML4 or XHTML1 if you want. I find HTML5 is very loose and allows you to write in 3.2 style. So I validate as XHTML. Works for me.
I always validate as HTML 4.01 Strict (I don't add the self closing />). =p
And like Stomme says, they've mentioned that the HTML 5 DOCTYPE is going to stay as it is. It's not going to be given all that extra stuff any more.
Which is precisely why I just use XHTML 1.0 Strict in the first place, and you couldn't pay me to use that HTML 5 idiocy that once again I cannot believe ANYONE is dumb enough to even WANT to use in the first place.
But again, it's crafted for all the people who never pulled their heads out of 1997's backside and until recently were just sleazing out HTML 3.2 and slapping a tranny on it. Now they use the HTML 5 lip-service; net change zero, they're still just whoring it out. It's certainly not meant for anyone who embraced strict, minimalism, separation of presentation from content, or any other sane coding practice or progress of the past decade!
It's not meant for them, but that doesn't mean they can't use it. =p
Yeah, make the poor stupid browser do all the work of finding those erroneous slashes everywhere and remembering to ignore them as Mostly Harmless.
I kid, I doubt it makes a dent in rendering time (if it did, Standardistas would be b*tching), but I feel it's a waste of typing for me.
Why other things like closing p's and li's and quoted attributes don't, I dunno.
Well the HTML 5 doctype is also the short version of the HTML 2 doctype so you'd expect it to be very loose in what it allows since it doesn't identify what version of HTML the page is written in.
Of course HTML 5 is very much like HTML 2 in many ways so using the same doctype for both is probably quite reasonable.
I'm sure that those writing validators will come up with HTML 5 strict and transitional doctypes that pages can use to avoid having to specify the version of HTML manually even if those throwing tags at the HTML 5 label to see what they can get to stick have stated that they will not be doing so.
As for using an XHTML doctype - it makes perfect sense to do so if you intend to actually use XHTML once all the browsers support it. Once IE8 is dead using XHTML proplerly for creating web pages will be possible and then the closing / will be required in order for the page to display at all.
For me it's about clarity and consistency; something that HTML has always lacked being based on SGML. I have a big multi-attribute empty tag, using just > means if I scroll down so all I can see is that closing bracket, I don't know if that's a tag opening something or closing something... always using /> on empty tags means when I take something like:
width="320" height="480"
alt="some random image"
While elsewhere I might have:
title="say where this link is going because there is something wrong with the content"
.. and scroll down so all I can see is:
I don't know if that's a close or an open to a tag. Simply adding the shorttag slash to the endings of empty elements makes it clearer what's going on.
The difference between > and /> is important for code clarity for me. It's one of the things that made me move to XHTML in the first place despite my distaste for extra characters and tags.
Clarity also being why I hate the "let's stuff all our attributes onto one illegible line" rubbish.
Since the browser does not care, I see why this doesn't matter. Since the validator allows the looser rules of HTML5, I would always tell the validator to pretend it's something stricter. So, you're right that it is looser, but not because it's a short version of HTML2 but because that's what teh WHATWG (and later W3C) have stated are the rules. They just went back on a lot of things, explicitly. I'm sure this was easy most of the time since browsers knew how to be easy on the rules deep in their parsers.
Browsers don't know or care the difference between Strict and Transitional. They don't know the difference between XHTML and HTML if the server is telling them text/html anyway. They certainly don't care what version of HTML it is. Versions are for us developers, so when we talk to each other about rules, we are all on the same page. I find Mozilla's plans to drop versions similarly retarded. Someone has a new bug? "What version of FF are you using?" "Dunno, FF." Arg.
Aha, now I see why you disliked Perl
Clarity for someone is a good enough reason for me, so that makes sense.

Scott Weiland perseveres after being replaced by Linkin Park's Chester Bennington
Listen to Stone Temple Pilots on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Everyone loves Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington. When he hasn't been rocking with his main outfit, he's been performing with other prominent musicians. In 2009 he recorded a full album, Out of Ashes, with the side project Dead by Sunrise; and he's appeared on tracks by Santana, Chris Cornell, Disturbed, Young Buckand even Motley Crue.
Also — in early summer he became the newsinger for Stone Temple Pilots. And even ex-Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weilandlikes the guy, despite the fact that Weiland's in the middle of a lawsuit with his former band mates.
"I've known Chester for a long time. I got to be pretty close with him on the (2001) Family Values Tour," Weiland told Billboard. "I don't think Chester did it in a spiteful way. The [Stone Temple Pilots] brothers [guitarist Dean and bassist Robert] DeLeo can be pretty persuasive."
Before he rejoins Linkin Park to play the Sunset Strip Music Festival in West Hollywood on August 3, Bennington wrapped up vocals on four Stone Temple Pilots songs, which will be released on a five-song EP. The recording will include "Out of Time," which was released by STP May 19. The new EP is tentatively scheduled for a fall release, and the band will launch a tour September 4.
While he doesn't blame Bennington for joining Stone Temple Pilots, Weiland says the DeLeos exhibited poor judgment by hiring a new singer without even contacting Weiland, who found out through social media that he was out of the band.

Osho,I am requesting your guidance on my answer to something I heard you say to me - which you never actually said.During my sannyas darshan you spoke to me at length about what happened to Buddha's teachings after Buddha left his body. I heard you say that Buddha's disciples compromised Buddha's teaching. They created safe religions, and thus compromised. You told me, "Do not compromise."While you were speaking these words to me, I heard another communication. The request that I silently heard spoken was, "Do not let it happen to me."Since that day I have continually looked for what I might be able to do to fulfill this request. Much to my wonder, I know what to do, I know how to fulfill the unspoken request - but I want your guidance.Will you please give me your specific guidance?
What happened to Gautam Buddha and his teachings is almost the rule, not the exception. The moment the master leaves his body the disciples start compromising with the surrounding world to survive, to continue to exist. And truth is something that cannot be compromised.
Just Gautam Buddha's teachings.five hundred years afterwards, there was not a single Buddhist in the whole of India. The greatest man who has ever walked on the earth, and the most refined teaching and the clearest perception of truth simply disappeared like a dream.
One wonders - it has not happened to Christianity, it has not happened to Mohammedanism, it has not happened to Jainism. So the complexity of the phenomenon has to be understood. The people who had followed Gautam Buddha refused to compromise. That was the cause of the disappearance of Buddhism from India. The Buddhists were either killed, burned alive or forcibly converted into Hinduism, or the fortunate ones escaped to the neighboring countries.
In a way, it was a blessing in disguise because the Buddhists who escaped India spread all over Asia and converted the whole continent to the teachings of Gautam Buddha. But the problem was, they had learned something that a disciple should never learn: they had learned in India that if you insist on truth, crucifixion is the result. If you want to survive, you have to compromise with all kinds of lies which are prevalent.
What they did not do in India they did in China, they did in Japan, they did in Korea, and they did in Ceylon. All over Asia they compromised with the local population, its superstitions, its ancient ideologies founded on untruths, just created out of fear. But because they compromised with them, they survived. And it was not only that they survived, they became very respectable. Buddhism became the religion of the whole of Asia except India.
It is a very strange phenomenon, because Buddha was born here; all his great disciples were born here. Hundreds of people became enlightened under his guidance. The consciousness of this country reached its highest point in the presence of Gautam Buddha. And yet the moment Buddha had gone, the tremendous experience disappeared, evaporated - because the people who remained behind were still not ready to betray their master. They were ready to die, but not to betray; they were not going to compromise.

Im a big che mills fan but seriously what judge scored it 29-28 mills??????
Im a big che mills fan but seriously what judge scored it 29-28 mills??????
I assume the judge that saw it that way.
A judge should score what he/she sees, not what they think happens only what they see. From there fixed position at cage side with no commentator to sway them and no replays to get a second look its harder than people think.
Totally agree dude and im only a fan not a judge so im obviously not as qualified as the actual judges at ringside just thought it waz a bit of crazy scoring. I know its a hell of a job at times and judges put themselves in the firing line everytime they judge a fight so I don't mean to slag any judges off just wondered if anyone else thot che won that fight??????
No worries, I haven't seen the fight yet so can't comment on that. Just thought it was someone else having a go at officials again, they are an easy target.
There is a post on Facebook from his team today and they said that they thought he won the first 2 rounds, after watching the fight back they accept he didn't. Again they are in a fixed position at cage side with a surprising limited view, no doubt they would have been concentrating on Che and register more of what he does and not the work of his opponent.
Also if you look at the score cards and all three judges scored it differently so it must have been a tricky fight to keep track of.
29-28, 28-29, 30-27, thats one round of a difference on the Che winning card, having not seen the fight and looking at the scores you would think the one to question would be the 30-27 not the 29-28 to Che. That's why we use 3 judges, to get a better overview of fights not just a single opinion.
hope this helps.
Yeah it does dude thanks I actually had it 30-27 as well thats why I thot 29-28 mills was way off but just goes to show what a difficult job these judges have. Just a quick point do the 3 judges sit together or are they at different points around the cage????
Blue has a fair point, that fight was all Riddle, don't get me wrong I wanted Che to win but he got wrasslefucked. Going to rewatch the card tonight knowing the scores now on a couple of fights, be interesting to see if I can see where the judges were coming from in a few of them as at the time, I was perplexed.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
No I haven't had the chance to see it yet.
When I do get a chance to see it I like the OP will see it from my armchair, with the commentators, the multiple angles and slow mo replays. my view will be better than that of any official at cage side on the night, by the sound of it I will probably come to the same conclusion as everyone else but I will have all of the above to help form my opinion.
I am not being defensive about any particular fight, I am being defensive about the officials and the negativity that is thrown at them week in week out. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and the differing opinions is what makes for good interesting debate, something that I welcome and have enjoyed reading over the years on this forum. Officials are easily blamed but when you understand the job they do you see a very different side to the story.
i don't post much on here, although I do follow the forum pretty much daily, in the last year it has gone down hill for me because of the negativity and I just felt yet again that here we had someone slagging officials when they know nothing about the job they do. I realised by the OP's second post this was not the case.
Tomtie, sorry mate didn't mean to jump on my high horse. Just trying to defend a sport I love.
Pretty clear 30-27 that fight

I can't wait
I think I'm finally getting an iPad.
Moreover, the icon falls right onto the same water drop that the current iPad 2 falls while in portrait mode. The same happens with the reflection on the dock. And, on top of that, it's impossible to get the same icon spacing in landscape mode. Clearly, Apple's invitation is showing a photo of the iPad in portrait mode. And there's no button to be seen.
Lol who cares what the photo is showing or isn't showing??? Apple isn't going to give away all their secrets in a picture! I've been waiting for the iPad 3! I sold my original iPad a long time ago, never got an iPad 2 cause it wasn't very different from the first. The iPad 3 will be awesome though, definitely buying it!
And no home button!
Remember all the predictions on the last iPad and iphone?
I'm guessing the there will be minor changes and it won't live up to all the hype and a big number of Apple-nerds will be very disappointed and vow to never buy another iPad let alone another Apple product.
I didn't see a big enough diff between 1 & 2 so I'm still using my 1. However, I need another iPad, so I'll probably get a 3 and hand my 1 down to someone else.
So... No iTV? Because you wont really want to touch your TV. At least I hope not.
Judging from the image I think its suggesting more of the same. If its not quad core LTE, and Retina I wont buy it. They better not disaapoint. Again.
Wheres iEMU for android so I can just buy a goddamn Transformer Prime and run iOS apps on it so I wont have to rely on apple actually caring to upgrade their device and actually have tablet apps unlike any current android tablet (besides Onlive playable app).

Lloyd Millard Bentsen, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, U.S. Senator and Representative, businessman, Texas county judge, and decorated World War Two veteran, was born in Mission, Texas, on February 11, 1921. He ran for Vice-President of the United States in 1988 on the Democratic ticket with then Massachusettes governor Michael Dukakis. He served as Secretary of the Treasury under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1994. Bentsen kept up a full schedule until 1998, when he retired after a decline in his health. He died on May 23, 2006.
Correspondence, printed material, creative works, legal documents, financial documents, minutes, photographic materials, sound recordings, and works of art make up the papers of Senator Lloyd M. Bentsen, Jr. (1930-1994, bulk 1971-1993). Bentsen and his staff created the bulk of the material during his term as United States Senator from Texas (1971-1993), though the papers also contain records from Bentsen's term as United States Secretary of the Treasury (1993-1994). A limited amount of the material documents Bentsen's career in business and his private life. Few records exist from his term in the United States House of Representatives (1948-1955).
The material is organized in ten subgroups. The first seven subgroups consist of records from Bentsen's Senate offices.
Casework and personnel files are restricted for 75 years after creation, up to the year 2068.
Use of some audio and video materials is by appointment only; please contact sound archivist.
Use of digital material by appointment only; please contact digital archivist.
A portion of these papers is stored remotely. Advance notice required for retrieval. Contact repository for retrieval.
Lloyd M. Bentsen, Jr., Papers, 1921-1998, Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, The University of Texas at Austin
Click on a subgroup link below to view the detailed inventory for that subgroup.
By Senator Bentsen's third term, his office received over 5000 pieces of mail per week. In a single day, the office might receive 2000 pieces. The Business and Administrative Manager oversaw the correspondence process, which required opening, sorting, and forwarding incoming mail, and producing and filing outgoing mail. Bentsen's Executive Secretary or Assistant received his personal letters and invitations. Press mail went to the Press Secretary. Political mail went to the Administrative Assistant. Mail from constituents about issues made up a large proportion of the incoming mail. Typically, Research Assistants, in consultation with Legislative Assistants, researched issues and developed responses, contacting other Congressional offices, Committee staffs, and federal agencies as necessary. Once a response had been drafted, the Chief Research Assistant edited it. Then, after the Legislative Director reviewed the prospective letter, Bentsen himself or his Administrative Assistant approved it, and staff sent it out over his name.
During Bentsen's first term, staff typed individual letters or drew on a library of complete letters on various issues. Automatic typewriters generated these issue letters, called "robos" by the Bentsen staff. Starting in late 1977, Bentsen's staff adopted the Correspondence Management System (CMS), a more sophisticated form of automation. In CMS, a database holds a "library" of individual paragraphs, and staff built individual letters out of them. Thus, a particular letter about an issue or legislation received a more detailed response than a general "robo" letter, and staff could respond more easily to a letter that raised multiple issues. CMS permitted the modification of library items or the creation of original letters as needed.
Staff members in the various sections read all mail, and, if appropriate, assigned codes for CMS library items on a work order. CMS operators then entered the name and address of the correspondent and created the letter. CMS included the capability to produce statistical reports, using topics, dates, and correspondents, about the Senator's correspondence. A small number of letters required individual responses, typed by staff. CMS staff entered these letters into the system, as well, so it held a complete record of Bentsen's correspondence.
Bentsen's staff used micrographics to store portions of his correspondence files. Many letters were microfilmed, and certain indexes and reports were created onto computer-output microfilm.
Incoming and outgoing letters, and associated coversheets, workforms, and enclosures from correspondents including printed material, photographic material, and sound recordings, constitute the bulk of Senator Bentsen's correspondence files. The files include both original letters and microfilmed copies, as well as reports, notes, indexes, and lists.
Constituent correspondence about current events, pending legislation, social trends, and other matters, constitutes the issue mail series (1970-1993). In 1978, Bentsen's office adopted the Correspondence Management System (CMS), and altered its filing system. Hence, the series is divided into two subseries, Constituent correspondence (1971-1979), and Correspondence Management System files (1978- 1993). In both systems, a constituent's letter was filed by the date of Bentsen's reply. Within each date, letters receiving identical or near-identical responses from the Senator were filed together by volume. Each sub-series is therefore divided into two sub-sub-series. Senator Bentsen's responses form part of the System records series.
Constituent correspondence, (1971-1977) 1979, includes two sub-subseries, Subject files, 1971-1979, and Robos files, 1971-1978.
The Subject files contain letters from person or small numbers of persons (around 10 or fewer) who received individual or unique responses. These files include replies to constituents whose letters discussed multiple issues. Staff arranged the subject files by year, legislative session, and topic. In the finding aid, where it was possible to determine the session, the first (January-June) precedes the second (July-December). The following inventory thus contains one alphabetical subject list for 1971, two each for the years 1972-1978, and one for the first session in 1979. Some Subject files for 1978-1979 include CMS code dates, reflecting the transition between systems. A file of National correspondence (1973-1977) is at the end of the Subject list, including a file of letters to Bentsen from non-Texans regarding the Subcommittee on Public Works (1973-1977). Correspondence about Public Activities and Political Affairs was filed separately, and is listed in the Personal/Political series.
The Robos files contain constituent mail that received form letters from the Senator in reply. The robos files (1970-1978) consist of constituent letters, bundled together, with cover sheets indicating the date and code number of the Senator's response. The bundles range in size from one letter to several hundred. Often, these files reflect coordinated efforts by interest, business, or community groups to influence the Senator. The earliest robos files include the names and addresses of correspondents on their coded cover sheets. That information is also available in the System records series. Robos correspondence has been foldered and listed by date, though each box is not strictly chronologically consistent. Some portions of the robos subseries inventory below include the titles of Bentsen's responses, but in general, access to the robos letters is by date only.
Correspondence Management System files, 1978-1993, also contain two sub-subseries, Singles files (1977-1992) and Group files (1978-1993). All CMS correspondence was filed by the date of Bentsen's response. Generally, the sheet indicating the response codes was filed with the letters. CMS could generate mass mailings off-site or through an in-office printer.
Singles files include up to five constituent letters receiving the same response on a particular day. The Group files contain more than five letters, all receiving the same response on the same day. Though some mail was filed by subject into 1979, in general, all of Bentsen's issue mail from constituents was filed by date after 1977.
Consult the Outgoing Correspondence and System Records Series description for more information. Indexes in that series provide name and subject access to the correspondence listed here.
Some portions of the inventory below include information about the titles of Bentsen's responses, the name of the CMS operator, and the number of the job.

Justin Bieber has been busy in the studio lately, and he's finally giving fans a first listen at the material.
Late in the night on Wednesday, the "Beauty and a Beat" singer uploaded 11 videos on Instagram, one for each of his new songs.
The sound is much like JB's December 2013 digital download, Journals, which was a mix of R&B, pop, and hip-hop, although it didn't make much noise with critics.
Listen to all 11 new songs below … only the first one has a caption: "Cold waters."

Ship Weight:0.30 Servings:85 Dosage:0.25 Teaspoon(s) Flavor:Caramel Kernel Season's - All Natural Popcorn Seasoning Caramel - 3 oz. (85g)Kernel season's all natural popcorn seasoning caramel turns any regular popcorn into a creamy and delicious sweet snack. All Natural No MSG Gluten Free Kosher What is Popcorn?There are five different types of corn, and of the varieties (sweet, dent, flint, pod, and popcorn), popcorn is the only corn that pops. Although popcorn has a scientific name, zea mays everta, no two kinds of popcorn are alike. Kernels range in color from off-white to light gold, to red, black and many colors in between. Once popped, popcorn has two basic shapes: snowflake, which pops big and is shaped like a cumulus cloud; and mushroom, which pops into a round ball. But just what is it about popcorn that makes it pop? The answer is water. The popcorn kernel's general composition is carbohydrate (principally starch), protein, fat and water. Water is stored in a small circle of soft starch in each kernel. As the kernel is heated, the water heats, builds up pressure and takes up any available room. The harder surface surrounding the starch resists the water pressure for as long as it can. When the outer surface gives way, the water further expands, causing popcorn to explode. The soft starch pops out, the kernel turns inside out, steam inside the kernel is released, and the corn pops. Proper moisture level is the reason it's important to store popcorn properly. Use an airtight container and store popcorn in a cool cupboard. Stay away from storing popcorn in the refrigerator. Air inside a refrigerator contains very little moisture and can cause the popcorn to dry out. Is Popcorn Nutritious?Absolutely! Popcorn is a good source of carbohydrate energy and fiber. For individuals of normal weight, carbohydrate is the best source of body fuel. Fiber is not used for energy but is an important health factor which is insufficient in most American diets. There are two kinds of fiber - soluble plays a role in regulating hunger, cholesterol and blood sugar, and insoluble is important in gastrointestinal health. Popcorn has no artificial color or flavor additives and is surprisingly low in calories. One cup of popped popcorn has 31 calories if eaten plain or seasoned with herbs; 133 calories if drizzled with a tablespoon of butter, margarine, or oil; 34 calories if sprayed with butter-flavored oil; 35 calories if sprinkled with a butter substitute. Most Kernel Season's flavors have less than one calorie per serving. Many medical groups feel popcorn has a nutritive value. Popcorn is a wholesome, fun food which aids digestion by providing necessary roughage. Health and medical associations regard popcorn as an excellent mealtime complement - sugar-free, fat-free, and low in calories. The National Cancer Institute (NCI), the federal governments cancer prevention agency, suggests fiber in the diet to reduce the risk of some forms of cancer. The agency currently distributes two booklets which name popcorn as a food American's should eat more of. Diet, Nutrition & Cancer Prevention: a guide to food choices, and Good News, cite popcorn for its fiber and low-fat content. The American Dental Association includes popcorn on its list of recommended sugar-free snacks. The American Diabetes Association and the American Dietetic Association permit popcorn as a bread exchange on weight-control diets, the Feingold Diet for hyperactive children permits popcorn because it contains no artificial additives, and many USDA Extension Home Economists suggest popcorn as a satisfying family food that is kind to budgets and fun to make. The experts agree. Popcorn is an all-around "good" food - healthy, economical and tasty. Common Popcorn QuestionsDoes Kernel Season's provide free samples?Due to the high volume of requests, Kernel Season's is unable to provide free samples. However, thousands of movie theatres across the country offer Kernel Season's as a free shake-on popcorn topping. Are Kernel Season's Products Gluten Free?Yes, ALL of Kernel Season's products are certified gluten free by the Gluten Free Certification Organization.Is Kernel Season's certified Kosher?Kernel Season's is certified Kosher by the Chicago Rabbinical Council (CRC).

Close bag and shake well.Air-Popped Popcorn: Spray popcorn with fat-free vegetable oil spray to help the seasoning stick. Generously sprinkle 1 capful of seasoning onto popcorn and shake well. About Kernel Season'sKernel Season's began in Brian Taylor's college dorm room at the University of Michigan. He made popcorn every night and created his own personal spice blends to toss into it. Friends and fellow students loved it. People came knocking on the door asking for the special seasonings. He contacted a team of flavor experts with over 50 years of experience to help perfect the seasonings. They tweaked the flavors for over two years until they were just right. In February, 1999, he found a note on my doorstep. It said, "Meet me in the Diag at midnight." The Diag is the center of campus at the University of Michigan. Hidden in the shadows of the Diag that wintry evening was Kernel Season's. He introduced himself valiantly as the champion of popcorn seasonings. At first, Brian thought he was going to pop him to shreds. But, Kernel Season's made it clear that he found a new partner in the quest to rid the world of naked popcorn. The rest is seasoning. Thank you for your interest in Kernel Season's. He hope you and your family will enjoy their delicious blends and realize the benefits of healthy and economical snacking. Kernel Season's is great on a variety of foods. When you discover a recipe using Kernel Season's, e-mail it to them. If they post your recipe on their website, you will receive a full set of seasoning on Kernel Season's! Let your local movie theaters know about Kernel Season's too.
