It is required to divide 12 children of different heights into two groups. Find the number of ways in which this can be done b)If each group consists of 6 children
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
Here we have some important part. We have to select a group of 6 which will be finally forming 2 groups with six children. Bu when we select a six group set the remain is also a six group set.
Ways to select 6 from 12 `= ^12c_6`
But when we select 6 from 12 the rest is also a group of six which is already included in the set we calculated. So to get the correct answers we have get the half of the `^12C_6` .
So ways to select 6 from 12 `= 1/2xx^12C_6 = 462`
So we have 462 ways to select groups of 6 children.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/1/2012 (2031 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
For over two decades, actress Nicola Cavendish has famously portrayed desperate housewife Shirley Valentine, making a persuasive case with theatre audiences that it is never too late to boldly change their lives.
After cruel brushes with mortality in her personal life this year, the Vancouver performer is taking Shirley's advice to heart. A brain hemorrhage and the sudden death of her husband Michael Wilmot in July triggered profound soul-searching.
"The understanding of what it means to be alive one minute and dead literally the next, informs this play," says Cavendish. "It's important I hear its message."
That means her personal priorities will change in 2012 and her many fans in this country will be the losers.
"I want to be entertained myself, more than I want to entertain," she says plainly. It's a shocking statement from a great Canadian comedian who made her Broadway debut in Blithe Spirit in 1987 alongside Richard Chamberlain, Geraldine Page and Blythe Danner. Although she has been celebrated for many brilliant performances, the 59-year-old University of British Columbia graduate is most associated with Shirley Valentine (over 600 performances), Willy Russell's feel-good monologue about a discontented Liverpool chatterbox who feels life slipping from her grasp.
Cavendish returns to the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre today to reprise her signature role, which she first played here in 1992 when it became the company's first solo show ever to play the mainstage. After a stop at Theatre Calgary and then in Victoria, she intends to hang up Shirley's well-worn, grease-splattered apron for good.
"This is it, this is it," she says. "I think I need to step aside from theatre. I need to spend time doing the ordinary things that ordinary people do. For 35 years, theatre has taken all of my evenings, except one night off. I can count on two hands the number of times I've gone out to listen to a symphony or visit an art gallery."
The diabetic actress's health scare -- she was fortunate her subarachnoid hemorrhage occurred while speaking to 80 nurses attending a diabetes conference in a Vancouver hotel last May -- combined with losing her partner of 32 years less than two months later has made her more guarded about her precious time.
"There is an awareness that life is rushing by," she says, over the telephone from her family's home in the Okanagan Valley. "If you are not aware of how much time has passed, you must be equally not aware of how little time is left."
To some ironic degree she is indebted to RMTC artistic director Steven Schipper for asking her to reprise Shirley Valentine prior to her husband's death, she says.
"The play is an examination of the same road I'm been thrust upon," she says. "Doing Shirley Valentine is not entirely selfless. There is something in it for me. There's a parallel between the reality I'm living and what Shirley Valentine talks about.
"She learns that all she has is her life and we all only have our lives. If we are encumbered with things that make our lives less than wonderful then we have to do something about changing them."
Winnipeggers who saw her in the optimistic Shirley Valentine two decades ago will remember the plucky title character is trapped in household drudgery and a cheerless marriage. In a bid to escape her "little life," she runs off on an odyssey of salvation in Greece. Like Shirley, Cavendish feels she has to move, too.
"What I need to run to now is myself," says Cavendish, who last appeared here in 2003 as a lonely beachcomber in Martha at Manitoba Theatre for Young People. "That's the reality, to make myself stronger. The writing has been on the wall. This is a chance to hang in a little longer."
Cavendish finds the demands of theatre a slog, always has. That's most true when performing the 150-minute Shirley Valentine, in which she speaks all 16,000 lines, 70 more than even Hamlet utters. She is a little anxious as she approaches this enormous stage challenge for the first time since spending eight days in a neurological ward recovering from a ruptured cerebral aneurysm.
RMTC recognized the considerable weight she bears with the show by bringing in Vancouver colleague Ellie King to spell Cavendish Saturday nights in order to save her from the physical and mental demands of two-show days.
"Two-show days are doable but I need to err on my own behalf," she says.
She's again hearing a whisper in her ear to write. The first time was in 1966, when her Grade 9 teacher was walking the classroom aisles, looking over the shoulders of students at work on their compositions. She leaned over Cavendish and quietly suggested she consider being a writer.
"There I was, 14 years of age, and her words were magic in my ears," she recalls.
Cavendish wrote a popular yuletide fable called It's Snowing in Saltspring in 1985, but has done little since. Now she has three projects on the go, all with personal connections. One is called The Inside, Outside Dog, a story about an aging lady and her pet that sounds a lot like Cavendish and her 14-year-old pooch, Chance. Good Grief encapsulates all she's learned about mourning since July. Another, A Couple of Babes, follows two women of different cultures and characters on a journey across Canada.
The immediate plan is to escape to the round writing hut her husband built for her near their humble cottage on Vancouver Island's Qualicum Beach. She says her answer to Shirley heading to Greece is to go to the cottage alone. Reminders of her husband are everywhere.
"I've yet to write anything in it yet," she says, "but it's calling to me hugely."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rob Kardashian has swung to the top of the "Dancing with the Stars" leaderboard.
The reality TV star and his professional partner, Cheryl Burke, earned the highest score from the ABC dancing competition's judges on Monday's final dance-off. Kardashian and Burke earned a combined 57 out of a possible 60 for a breezy waltz and swing-era freestyle routine.
Army veteran J.R. Martinez and TV personality Ricki Lake tied for second place with 54. Martinez delivered a so-so cha-cha but earned a perfect 30 for his salsa-inspired freestyle. Lake remained consistent with a 27 for both a cha-cha and a freestyle routine that incorporated everything from quickstep to salsa moves.
The judges' scores will be combined with viewer votes to determine the show's 13th season champion Tuesday.

Hamburger-Crust Pizza
Recipe by echo echo
The "crust" of this pizza is actually hamburger rather than dough. Sure cuts down on the carbs!
Top Review by jdionne3
This was GREAT! New ideas, you have got to love them. I didn't really follow the recipe I took this idea and changed it a little bit for myself. I used Ground Turkey instead of Ground Beef. I added Red Pepper Flakes to the Turkey and I pre-cooked it in the oven before i put any of my topping on. Over all I would have to say this is a great idea and I would very much make this recipe again with beef or Turkey.

Lindsay Lohan Handcuffed, Taken to Jail
Lindsay Lohan was taken into custody and sent directly to jail after Judge Elden Fox denied her from posting bail following her recent failed drug tests. Lindsay was handcuffed before being taken to jail, and KTLA is reporting that she'll remain in the same Lynwood jail she recently served at until her next probation hearing on October 22.
L.A. County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore told KTLA that Lohan — who has a history of serving much less time than being sentenced — will indeed spend a full 30 days in jail for her latest infraction.
PHOTOS: Lindsay at Court Before Her Jailing
This comes as a surprise to many, as the speculation was that Friday's hearing would be brief, and that it would mostly be comprised of Lohan posting bail and walking free for the time being.
The 24-year-old Lohan was back in court after failing two drug tests following her most recent jailing and rehab stint. She arrived at court sporting a white skirt with a conservative and paritally sheer black top and black high heels, as well as a pair of sunglasses.
Following the court hearing, Michael Lohan gave comments outside of the courthouse, blasting Lohan's former lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley for being "responsible" for Lohan's latest setback. When asked by a reporter why he was so angry, Lohan claimed: "My daughter's in jail! I'd rather be in jail rather than my daughter."
In recent years, Lindsay and her father Michael have gone through a very public dispute, causing Dina Lohan to seek to legally keep Michael away from her daughter.
Watch Lindsay's arrival:
Lindsay tweeted last week after reports of her failed tests, saying that "substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn't go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps forward every day."
TMZ reported both failed drug tests, including the details that in one Lindsay tested positive for cocaine, and that the other indicated use of amphetamines.
This latest legal woe for Lohan comes after a tumultuous summer for the Mean Girls starlet. She surrendered on July 20 after being sentenced for violating her probation stemming from a 2007 drunk driving case. Her 90 day sentence was cut short due to overcrowding and good behavior, and she served just 13 days in jail.
She then checked into UCLA Medical Center rehab facility for what was supposed to be 90 days, but was released after staying at the clinic for just 24 days.
Judge Elden Fox banned any cameras and phones from the courtroom, so unlike the last time when Lindsay was caught crying during the sentence, no visuals came from the courtroom this time around.

The Case Against a Rate Cut
Economists, and industrialists are eagerly awaiting for the Reserve Bank of India to cut interest rates Tuesday when it unveils its annual monetary policy, but that's far from a done deal.

- 5 Challenges for India's New Central Bank Governor, Urjit Patel
The central bank had been raising rates since March 2010 in a bid to lower inflation, but has kept rates steady in its last three meetings as India's economic growth has slowed down.
The Indian economy grew 6.1% year-on-year in the October-December quarter, its slowest expansion in more than two years.
Industry clamor for a rate cut increased last week, after India reported its Index of Industrial Production for February grew 4.1% year-on-year, below a forecast of 6.6%, a sign of a slowing economy.
Inflations also has been moderating, albeit slowly. The Wholesale Price Index for March, announced Monday, stood at 6.89% versus the year-earlier period, down slightly from 6.95% in February.
Against this backdrop, many economists expect that the central bank Tuesday will lower its benchmark interest rate by 0.25% to 8.25%.
But some naysayers point to key factors which could prevent a rate cut right away.
They say that though inflation has come down from double digits last year, it remains unpredictable and is still above the central bank's comfort zone. Rising oil prices globally pose the biggest risk to prices in India.
"Inflation is down but not out," wrote Dharmakirti Joshi, economist at ratings firm CRISIL Ltd. on Monday.
In addition, India's government finances and current account deficit remain a concern.
The government continues to run a large deficit between what it spends and takes in taxes. Huge pump-priming welfare programs have helped push up rural wages but also have added to inflationary pressures.
The Reserve Bank of India has said that it will be taking this into consideration when deciding its interest rate policy. The fiscal deficit was 5.9% for the year ended March 31 compared to the government's target of 4.6%. For the year starting April 1, the government has projected a deficit of 5.1%, but economists are skeptical that the government will be able to achieve this.
The high current account deficit is also a limiting factor on the central bank's room for maneuver.
The current deficit has shot up to around 3.6% of gross domestic product, its widest level since 1991, as import costs have shot up in tandem with a higher fuel import bill.
The widening current account deficit has put the Indian rupee under pressure, pushing the currency to record lows last year. Any loosening of monetary policy in the current economic scenario could lead to fund outflows, further widening the deficit and pressuring the currency.
"Any effort to cut interest rates to boost domestic demand (investment or consumption) at the current juncture would only risk a further widening of the current account deficit," Morgan Stanley said in a report last week.
This weekend, RBI governor Duvvuri Subbarao also expressed concern about the deficit.
At a government function late Saturday, Mr. Subbarao pointed to the current account deficit and also noted that India's short-term debt at 23.3% of GDP is much more than 10.2% in 1991.
"That is quite a disturbing picture," Mr. Subbarao said, according to the Press Trust of India. He said that the economy today is more resilient than it was in 1991, but serious macroeconomic, policy and governance concerns remain.
Are these serious enough to hold him from raising rates? We'll find out Tuesday

Turkey: Interview with exiled musician Fuat Talay
Fuat Talay: 'I escaped and cannot return'
|Baglama-player and singer Fuat Talay doesn't make much noise about how the Turkish authorities kept him in a police station's cellar for 23 days, and later on convicted him to 12 years in prison. In July 2008 he is in the media limelight because of a new album, and Freemuse asked the singer to give a more detailed account of his experiences.
By Mik Aidt, Freemuse
Fuat Talay
On Fuat Talay's MySpace profile is only mentioned this single sentence: "Political unrest along with the lack of freedom of speech in Turkey forced him to abandon his native country, which he still cannot return to."
If he hadn't been convicted as a Kurdish terrorist, simply because he was playing certain Kurdish folk songs, he would most likely never have ended up publishing an electronica album together with a Norwegian musician and producer such as Mashti (real name: Mads Nordheim), or have been touring with a Danish-Iraqi musician and singer such as Aida Nadeem and her 'Arabtronic' band.
Trio playing Kurdish tunes
Fuat came out of a Turkish family. His brother was active in politics already from the age of 13, and when Fuat and two of his friends began performing as a trio, they were invited by the brother to perform at political meetings and demonstrations. Here, they mostly played Turkish folk music, and also played certain Kurdish tunes. The trio didn't have a name.
"We were just three friends who were playing," says Fuat Talay. "I played the baglama. A friend played percussion, another was singing."
The baglama is a kind of three-stringed 'Turkish guitar', it also often referred to as the 'saz' (which literally means 'instrument' in Turkish).
"We were around 15 years old when we one day we heard that our lead singer, Ibrahim, had been arrested in the evening as he was walking on his way home. The next day he was found unconscious, lying on top a garbage container. He had been badly beaten up, and it took him more than a month to recover. After that incident, he left our band, and moved to another town."
Monthly tv-programme
"You are known to be politically active in this town, and the young people symphasize with you. More and more people in Van were watching your programme. So we want you to stop hosting that tv-show."
"We weren't going to be intimidated or threatened just like that," tells Fuat Talay. "We went to the vali of the town, a kind of state administration mayor, and asked him to review our programme. After he had watched it, he told us that we had his permission to continue producing it."
At that time Fuat Talay was 17 years old and had just finished high school. He soon got so many live gigs as a musician that he stopped producing and broadcasting the tv-programmes. Not long after, he heard a rumour that some of his friends from high school had been arrested.
"We had been performing at a concert venue 15 kilometres outside Van. On our way home, our car was stopped at a road block, where 15 armed police men apparently had been waiting for us. They took us, three musicians and our driver, in a police car and drove off. For weeks we were held behind bars in the cellar of the local police station, without being able to contact our family or anyone outside."
According to the Turkish law, police was not allowed to do something like this for more than a maximum of 48 hours, but in this Kurdish territory a special terrorist law allowed police to hold arrested groups in up to 15 days without trial. They held Fuat and his friends in 23 days. Most of them were under 18 years old.
Nevertheless, in the evenings, when the lights were off in the cellar, the young boys and girls would be singing together and doing their best to keep the spirit high. They were only allowed to drink water once a day, and Fuat explains that this in itself was a kind of torture:
"The only food we were given, twice a day, was a loaf of bread and some salty cheese which made us very thirsty. Actually, the first three days we were arrested we didn't get any food at all because we refused to eat."
In court
"This was the first time we could talk to a state lawyer, and apparently our parents had been informed about this court hearing, because they were present in the court room. We weren't allowed to talk with them, but at least they could see that we were alive.
After the court session, 16 of the young people were released. Fuat Talay and eight others were taken to a prison in Van. His family found a lawyer who had good contacts at high levels in the legal system, and after just four days in prison, Fuat was suddenly informed that he was free to leave.
"You can go now. You have been released," said the guard.
And so it happened: The next day, his friend – the percussionist in the band – was released as well.
Under cover in Istanbul
After three and a half years, only six months before his final exams, Fuat got a phone call from a friend who asked: "Haven't they taken you?! Didn't you hear the the court has given you a penalty of 12 years and six months in jail?"
Fuat called his lawyer to check up on the case, and an hour later, he returned the call, saying: "There is nothing I can do. You simply have to escape. Now!"
With only six months left of his studies, it seemed a very drastic move to make, but after having talked with his family, he decided to drop the education, and only two hours later, he was sitting in an airplane to the capital Ankara. From there a bus took him to Istanbul where he could stay with some friends while figuring out what to do.
After some weeks he found a place which could help him with producing a false ID-card and a false student card, and soon after he was employed as a music teacher under a false name.
Visa to Denmark
An international organisation assisted Fuat Talay in getting a 10-day visum to travel to Denmark to take part in a workshop about Turkish music, and from there he was adviced to move on to Sweden which had a community of Turkish and Kurdish refugees in Stockholm. He went there, was allowed to stay and work with some specific music projects, a 'world music laboratory'. He applied for political asylum, but since Denmark was where he had first arrived, he was instructed that he could be granted an asylum, but only if he moved to Denmark.
After two years, he received a recidence and work permit in Denmark to work as as a music teacher at a school in Jutland.
This gave him the incentive to study to get a tearcher's certification which he is presently studying for at the Frederiksberg University in the capital Copenhagen. In 2002, he graduated the first of two training modules.
Today, Fuat Talay is settled in Denmark in Copenhagen, and the members of his family in Turkey come to visit him there, since he is unable to go back to his home country. Fuat has been touring with his baglama instrument around Europe and Africa. In the later years he has played with artists such as the exiled Kurdish singer Sivan Perwer, and the diva of Turkish folk music Sabahat Akkiraz.
Activities in Scandinavia
In August 2008 he will be performing a number of concerts in northern Jutland as part of the Go Global Festival.

Wechsler Test of Adult Reading
The Wechsler Test of Adult Reading (WTAR) is a neuropsychological assessment tool used to provide a measure of premorbid intelligence, the degree of intellectual function prior to the onset of illness or disease.[1]
Test Design[edit]
Developed for use with English-speaking patients aged 16 to 89 years,[1] WTAR is a "hold" test, a type of neuropsychological test that relies on abilities thought to be unaffected by cognitive decline associated with neurological damage. In the design of WTAR, the demographic prediction tables were co-normed with the widely used Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS). This gives it an advantage for comparative analyses on predicted and actual general intellectual and memory function over similar reading tests such as the National Adult Reading Test (NART), which do not share normative data sets with the other widely used Wechsler assessments.[2] Using vocabulary level as a correlate to IQ, the test relies on reading recognition's resistance to the cognitive impacts of brain damage to estimate premorbid function.[2] The patient is presented with irregularly spelled words and prompted to pronounce each; the irregular grapheme-to-phoneme translations (such as the "gh" in the word tough) in the prompts make it difficult pronounce without having previously learned the word. Since the patient cannot apply standard pronunciation rules to complete the task, the examiner can assess their vocabulary by their ability to pronounce the irregularly spelled words, and by extension, estimate their premorbid IQ.[2] WTAR was published in 2001 by Pearson.[1]
Instructions for administration and scoring[edit]
The WTAR is composed of 50 irregularly spelled words and takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. The examiner begins by presenting the first word card and prompting the patient for a single pronunciation of the word. This procedure continues through all 50 word cards and is discontinued if the patient provides 12 consecutive incorrect pronunciations. Lists of acceptable pronunciations and tape recordings are provided by the publisher to account for words with multiple pronunciation variants. Each correct pronunciation is given a score of 1, with 50 as the maximum raw score. The raw score is then standardized by age and compared to the scores predicted for the patient's demographic classification.[2]
In standardized samples, WTAR scores were shown to correlate highly with measures of verbal IQ (r = .75), verbal comprehension (r = .74), and full scale IQ (r = .73).[2] Patients recovering from traumatic brain injury (on average measuring in severely impaired ranged on the Glasgow Coma Scale) showed high stability in WTAR scores during their recovery period while performing highly similar to demographic estimates, suggesting the test is a reliable estimate of premorbid intelligence in individuals with TBI.[3] Presented in an inpatient neuropsychologic battery for TBI, WTAR scores have been shown to be significant predictors of 1-year outcome, suggesting score stability over time and predictive validity.[4] WTAR performance also appears to remain stable in patients exerting suboptimal effort.[5] Evaluation of WTAR scores across the degree of sustained TBI (mild, moderate, severe) suggests that the assessment may underestimate premorbid IQ in patients with more severe damage.[6] In patients with Alzheimer's disease, WTAR scores declined as the degree of cognitive impairment increased in more affected individuals.[2][7] Individuals with preexisting learning disorders were found to perform poorly relative to those without learning disorders. Reading-disabled individuals scored lower on WTAR than on WAIS test measures; WTAR is not recommended for use with such individuals.[2]

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Ketek may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Ketek:
Use Ketek as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Ketek comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Ketek refilled.
- Take Ketek by mouth with or without food.
- Swallow Ketek whole. Do not break, crush, or chew before swallowing.
- Ketek works best if it is taken at the same time each day.
- To clear up your infection completely, take Ketek for the full course of treatment. Keep taking it even if you feel better in a few days.
- Do not miss any doses. If you miss a dose of Ketek, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Ketek.
Important safety information:
- Ketek may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, or vision problems (eg, blurred vision, double vision, difficulty focusing). These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Ketek with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks if you experience vision problems, loss of consciousness, fainting, confusion, or hallucinations.
- Mild diarrhea is common with antibiotic use. However, a more serious form of diarrhea (pseudomembranous colitis) may rarely occur. This may develop while you use the antibiotic or within several months after you stop using it. Contact your doctor right away if stomach pain or cramps, severe diarrhea, or bloody stools occur. Do not treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor.
- Ketek only works against bacteria; it does not treat viral infections (eg, the common cold).
- Be sure to use Ketek for the full course of treatment. If you do not, the medicine may not clear up your infection completely. The bacteria could also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This could make the infection harder to treat in the future.
- Long-term or repeated use of Ketek may cause a second infection. Tell your doctor if signs of a second infection occur. Your medicine may need to be changed to treat this.
- Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take Ketek before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Lab tests, including liver and kidney function and blood cell counts, may be performed while you use Ketek. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Ketek should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 18 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: It is not known if Ketek can cause harm to the fetus. If you become pregnant, contact your doctor.

The Distributed Energy Resources Customer Adoption Model is used to estimate the value an Oakland nursing home, a Riverside high school, and a Sunnyvale data center would need to put on higher electricity service reliability for them to adopt a Consortium for Electric Reliability Technology Solutions Microgrid (CM) based on economics alone. A fraction of each building's load is deemed critical based on its mission, and the added cost of CM capability to meet it added to on-site generation options. The three sites are analyzed with various resources available as microgrid components. Results show that the value placed on higher reliability often does not have to be significant for CM to appear attractive, about 25 $/kW•a and up, but the carbon footprint consequences are mixed because storage is often used to shift cheaper off-peak electricity to use during afternoon hours in competition with the solar sources.PB - LBNL CY - Berkeley U2 - LBNL-1853E ER -

Lillian Vernon lays off workers
March 19, 2001,
RYE, NY -With sales falling off in an uncertain retail environment, catalog retailer Lillian Vernon Corp. said it will lay off 12 percent of its work force and close its Las Vegas call center, consolidating operations into its Virginia Beach, VA, facility.
After restructuring charges totaling about $1.5 million on an after-tax basis, the company forecast that net income and earnings per share for the fiscal year ended Feb. 24 will be "in the range of break-even to a small loss," down from a profit of $6.3 million, or 69 cents a share, the prior year.
Lillian Vernon, chairman and ceo, said, "Like most retailers, we are experiencing the economic downturn, and consumers are continuing to reduce their spending. Our company is taking the necessary measures to bring our overhead, including operations, staff and discretionary spending, in line with our current revenue projections."
During the third quarter ended Nov. 25, Lillian Vernon's sales declined by 6.9 percent, to $98.3 million from $105.6, and earnings fell by 32.3 percent, to $6.6 million from $9.7 million. For the nine months year to date, sales increased by 2.7 percent, to $174.8 million, and earnings were down by 33.4 percent, to $3.6 million from $5.4 million.
Responding to the downturn in sales, Vernon said, "We have aggressively reduced our inventory by 9 percent, or $3 million, from fiscal 2000. Our company remains strong with no outstanding debt and approximately $32 million of cash reserves at fiscal yearend."
As of March 8, the retailer said it had repurchased 758,392 shares of its common stock as part of a 1.5 million share repurchase program. The company said it will continue to buy back shares "from time to time as conditions warrant." In September 1998, the retailer completed an earlier buyback of one million shares.

Mine Hazard Awareness Campaign
Accident Information File
A Salem, Ore., teenager drowned in a former gravel pit while swimming with friends. The victim's friends told firefighters that a paddle broke on a two-person raft that hey had on the water. Strong afternoon winds were blowing the raft away from the shore. It was unclear whether the teenager was in the raft when the oar broke and tried to swim to shore or whether he tried to swim to the raft to help bring it back. His family described him as a strong swimmer but said that he had asthma. His body was found in about 50 feet of water. 'That's the danger of these gravel pits. There are no shallow areas,� said Jim Trett of the Keiser Fire District. He estimated that the pit reaches a depth of 100 feet. (Source: Statesman Journal)

Last fall we converted our restaurant in Dibbersen into a Restaurant of the Future. Now we've remodeled our Hamburg, Winsener Straße restaurant so now we have doubled the future!
The lobby here has a more urban theme that fits our gritty part of Hamburg. I was worried it would be too dark, but the spots of color make it look brighter live than it appears in the photos.
It of course has all the innovations in Dibbersen, plus we now serve "Barista Quality" coffee at the front counter, meaning that the espresso drinks are made with the portafilter machine in McCafé.
With all this future we need to take time to catch our breaths. Our 3rd drive-thru restaurant on the Autobahn A1 at Rade will join the future in early 2018.
This isn't for me, despite the title, but I'll take it. :-)
We were closed 11 days for construction, but now our restaurant in Dibbersen has been opened for 3 days as a "Restaurant of the Future" and so far we are very happy with it!
The first thing you notice as a guest is the brighter, more spacious lobby, as well as the self-service terminals, or kiosks. There you can enter your order and pay by either card or cash. Of course you can still go to the cashier and verbally give your order just as before.
The second thing you notice is that the cashier does not then go to assemble your order. There is a separate station for that, and you can either go there to pick up your order, or you can choose table service. You pick up a chip, find a table, and thanks to the magic of bluetooth we can find your table and bring your order to you.
The third thing you notice is that all burgers are made fresh to order. This "Made For You" system has been running for years in the US, but is new in Germany. The heated bin1 where products could be kept for 10 minutes is now history. Our products are now made one at time instead of an entire tray at a time.
We were wondering how quickly we could adjust to the new system, but the first 3 days went very well. The kitchen is more organized and less hectic, and even it gets full we can recover quite quickly. In service our people enjoy that they now have time and opportunity to talk to our guests, and with our new look and new system they have plenty to talk about.
And even I learned enough about the new system that I can help out in the kitchen without messing everything up. :-)
Funny how in US English a bin is where you put things to keep, but in UK English a bin is where you put things to throw away. ↩
A couple of days ago Dave Winer wrote a piece about Trump winning. So what if Clinton wins?
It will be like the status quo only worse.
The large group of Trump who feel estranged from the system will still feel estranged. This estrangement is certainly not exclusively American, see Brexit, the Front National, or the Alternativ für Deutschland. This group will remain and I doubt that Clinton is the type of leader that can win them back.
The Republican party will remain dysfunctional, maybe even to the point that no Supreme Court justices will be confirmed at all. Look forward to more standstill and government shutdowns. The "Lock Her Up" faction will not become silent, they'll probably become louder.
Abroad, relations with Russia will continue to worsen and the conflicts of the world will continue, with new ones arising.
All in all, though, we'll be pretty happy with it, because it could have been much worse!
On this All Saints' Day we are happy and proud to announce that we are expecting!
Wait, no, that's not right… damn you auto-correct, we're too old for that. No, we are happy and proud to announce that we are expanding, in Hamburg-Harburg!
On December 1st we will be purchasing the existing McDonald's restaurants in Phoenix Center and Harburg Arcaden. They are so-called satellites, located in shopping centers with a limited menu and low volume (about 1/3 the sales of a free-standing restaurant).
We already own the Marktkauf Center satellite in Harburg, and all three stores are just a couple hundred meters apart. Our store manager there will now have her hands full with triplets!
And as we are right now converting our restaurant in Dibbersen to Restaurant of the Future (re-opening on Friday!) with Winsener Straße to follow in February, Frauke and I have our hands full too! :-)

I must disagree with Leo. I don't think the Margaret Cobham in question
is Margaret Courtenay, wife of Sir John Cobham K.G., 3rd Baron Cobham.
She had died in 1395.
Margaret Cobham is possibly, Margaret Cobham, daughter of Sir Reynold
Cobham and Eleanor Maltravers above who (according to DR in PA3 Cobham:
10) married Reginald Curteys but may still have been single at the time
of the will.
I believe Agnes, widow of Sir William Arundel K.G., is referring to her
sisters-in-law in her will and therefore her identity is still unknown.

Nokogiri and XPath Partial Attribute Matching
Written on 18 Oct 2011 by Kester Dobson
Nokogiri is a hugely powerful XML (and thus HTML) parser for Ruby. I use it for consuming pretty much anything with HTML in it, and even via the excellent FeedZirra for processing feeds.
It also has great XPath support and makes partial attribute matching a breeze.
For example, to find all links to Amazon.com in a HTML document:
require 'open-uri'
require 'nokogiri'
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open('http://mydomain.com').read())
aLinks = doc.xpath("//a[contains(@href, 'www.amazon.com')]")
You can then iterate through
aLinks to do any additional filtering.
Nokogiri also supports the
starts-with and
ends-width in addition to the
contains above.
There is also an excellent snippet over here on Stackoverflow talking about how to partial match node
content values - so you could easily do a partial match on link anchor text (in the above example).

I bought these speakers because of the price. I honestly wasn't expecting much since they were so inexpensive, but they really aren't too bad. I still have the factory stereo in my Jeep and the speakers are fair to mid at best... but when I plug in my MP3 player and give them a little more power, they crank out pretty good. They do seem to distort easily, but a little tweak to the bass and treble takes it out.

Got these to replace the blown factory speakers in my 2000 Grand Caravan with Infinity. I got the 6x9's for the rear, the 5x7's for the doors and the 5.25" for the dash. For a total cost of about $75 for all 3 sets, it cannot be beaten. They have been in my car for almost a month now and sound pretty good being powered off the aftermarket Kenwood head unit. These are by no means the best speakers in the world and there is not a whole lot of bass at all with them but for replacement speakers you can't go wrong.

Regional Reviews: Washington, D.C.
The Director: The Third Act of Elia Kazan
Also see Susan's report on The 2007 Helen Hayes Awards
Playwright Leslie A. Kobylinski, who also directed the 70-minute piece, places the prominent stage and film director Elia Kazan (1909-2003) in a neutral space where he reviews his long career. Beginning with the politically active Group Theatre in the 1930s, Kazan became known for his work with actors and his legendary work on plays including A Streetcar Named Desire and Death of a Salesman. His movies included Oscar-winners On the Waterfront and Gentleman's Agreement, as well as the film adaptation of A Streetcar Named Desire.
However, Kazan's notoriety comes from something beyond his career as a visionary director, a founder of the Actors Studio and a proponent of the Stanislavski acting style known as The Method. He was a member of the Communist Party for a year and a half while in the Group Theatre, and in 1952 the House Committee on Un-American Activities called on him to name other Communists. Kobylinski's writing, and especially Foucheux's anguished performance, show how Kazan's decision to "name names" which haunted the man for the rest of his long life was in no way an easy calculation to save a career at the expense of others. "Why can't we just say what we believe in?" asks Foucheux as Kazan, restating his belief that artists must be the bearers of truth.
As Kazan recounts the stories of his past, Foucheux conjures up the voices and facial expressions of those around him: his stern father and doting mother; his first wife, who stood by him until her death; many of his co-workers in the theater; and the inquisitors on the House committee. In this space, Kazan is not rationalizing his behavior in a strict sense; he is attempting to set the record straight.
Grant Kevin Lane's austere production design and, especially, Justin Thomas' lighting design set Foucheux in high relief. Composer Steve McWilliams and sound designer Matthew M. Nielson bring the viewer inside Kazan's head, showing the world from his perspective.

Cover crops, streamside trees and nutrient management plans: all are exceptional ways to reduce nutrient pollution in the Chesapeake Bay. And for father and son duo Elwood and Hunter Williams, restoring the Bay begins with conservation practices and a shift in mentality.
"We knew coming down the road that we needed to do a better job with keeping the water clean," Hunter said. "We decided that if there was going to be a problem with the streams it wasn't going to be us."
Restoration Spotlight: Misty Mountain Farm from Chesapeake Bay Program on Vimeo.
Excess nutrients come from many places, including wastewater treatment plants, agricultural runoff and polluted air. When nitrogen and phosphorus reach waterways, they can fuel the growth of large algae blooms that negatively affect the health of the Bay. In order to reduce these impacts, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has implemented a Bay "pollution diet," known as the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL).
Since the passing of the TMDL, many farmers in the watershed have felt the added pressure of the cleanup on their shoulders, but for the Williams family, having the foresight to implement best management practices (BMPs) just seemed like the environmentally and fiscally responsible thing to do.
"We don't want to get to a point where regulations are completely out of control," Hunter explained. "Farmers know what they're putting on the ground so we have the ability to control it. Most people who have yards don't have a clue what they're putting on the ground when they use fertilizer. The difference has to be made up by the farmers because we know exactly what is going on to our soil."
The Williams family began implementing BMPs on Misty Mountain Farm in 2006 by teaming up with the Potomac Valley Conservation District (PVCD). The government-funded non-profit organization has been providing assistance to farmers and working to preserve West Virginia's natural resources since 1943.
The PVCD operates the Agricultural Enhancement Program (AgEP), which has steadily gained popularity among chicken farmers and livestock owners located in the West Virginia panhandle and Potomac Valley. While these two districts make up just 14 percent of West Virginia's land mass, these regions are where many of the Bay's tributaries begin—so it is important for area landowners to be conscious of pollutants entering rivers and streams.
AgEP is designed to provide financial aid and advice to farmers in areas that the Farm Bill does not cover. PVCD is run in a grassroots fashion, as employees collaborate with local farmers to pinpoint and meet their specific needs.
"It [AgEP] has been very well received," said Carla Hardy, Watershed Program Coordinator with the PVCD. "It's the local, state and individuals saying, "These are our needs and this is how our money should be spent." Farmers understand that in order to keep AgEP a voluntary plan they need to pay attention to their conservation practices."
Hunter admits the hardest part of switching to BMPs was changing his mindset and getting on board. Originally, Hunter was looking at the Bay's pollution problems as a whole, but with optimistic thinking and assistance from PVCD, he realized that the best way to overcome a large problem was to cross one bridge at a time.
It wasn't long before the Williams family started to see results: fencing off streams from cattle led to cleaner water; building barns to overwinter cows allowed them to grow an average of 75 pounds heavier than before, making them more valuable to the farm.
By using BMPs, the Williams family has set a positive example for farmers across the watershed, proving that with hard work and a 'sky is the limit' mentality, seemingly impossible goals can be met.
Hunter points out, "We are proud to know that if you are traveling to Misty Mountain Farm you can't say, "Hey these guys aren't doing their part."
