Yes, you can run a script when the user quits the page. You cannot however prevent him from leaving the page other than the default confirm box, this is because of security reasons. I suggest using something like this:
<script> $(document).ready(function() { $("a").click(function() { //do stuff here if(!success) { return false; } }); }); </script>
But of course it won't register events where the anchor tag isn't clicked, so you should use the window.onbeforeunload as a backup.
Make sure you've loaded the jQuery library and check if the browser you're using is supported. If you're using Internet Explorer it would be a good idea to switch to Chrome Another thing you can do is bring up the console (usually F12 ), then reload the page and see if any errors pop up.
Remember that authors are not obligated to provide support, most do but some don't. It can also take quite a long time for support to be answered, especially in the holiday season.

Fasting has many medical benefits, these page have some info and there's something about water too:http://www.masjidtucson.org/submission/practices/ramadan/medicalbenefits.html
Those articles, and pretty much any other positive article about fasting, are about the fact that fasting is healthy because you burn fat, which essentially results in you losing weight. If you go to a doctor, he'll never tell you to fast (unless you eat way too much calories or unhealthy food), but instead tell you to exercise more to lose weight. Therefor fasting should never be seen as a positive thing towards a person's health, but only as an alternative, easier, and less healthy solution.
Did you know that eating vegetables every day is much more healthy than fasting? I guess not, that's why you're fasting. You can never argue that fasting is healthy, as there are much less damaging alternative solutions. I understand that people fast because of their religion, but you shouldn't say that you're going it because it's healthy, because that's really not true.
I'm currently working on the 13" air (and typing this reply ) and I have to say that it's pretty damn fast! The SSD makes a real big difference: boot time is only a few seconds and I can easily run all of my programs for web development simultaneously. Yeah, if you ask me it doesn't make much sense why the display in the Pro is of lower resolution, it's a "Pro", but I've got my macbook hooked up to an external 1080p display when I'm working anyhow. That difference in resolution is noticeable, but not such a big deal for most people.
If you decide to go with the Pro because you need the quad-core, put an SSD inside. But if you aren't doing video editing or using Photoshop 24/7 (although Photoshop runs very smoothly on my machine), go with the Air. Besides, the Air is amazingly thin and light.

If you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated as our thirst sensation doesn't really appear until we are 1 or 2 percent dehydrated. By then dehydration is already setting in and starting to impact how our mind and body perform. Think about kidney stones and the damage it can do to all internal organs. Dehydration affects all people, and staying properly hydrated is just as important for those who work all day at a computer as it is for marathon runners, who can lose up to 8 percent of their body weight as water when they compete. You need 8-10 glasses of water a day to stay hydrated.

Just installed and tested ZenCoding. AWESOME .
+1 It's a must-have if you're writing lots of HTML
I've also installed a package that recognizes all of the Wordpress functions. Really useful if you're developing WP plugins like me.
If you need someone to convert it to html/css, just let me know
Try refreshing a couple of times. I can access your new item through the homepage just fine.
I'm selling a wordpress options panel, have a look in my portfolio. It's really easy to implement – little to no PHP experience is required.
Unfortunately most people who browse the web still use IE, so providing support for IE is very important. I guess you could see it as something positive if you're a freelancer, as you can charge your client a lot for (mostly) just a few minutes of work.
IE really needs to improve though. I still don't understand why Microsoft can't build a normal full-features browser with the latest technologies. Mozilla seems to be able to do it, and they only have a limited budget. If Microsoft doesn't quickly add these new HTML5 technologies to all their browsers, not just IE10 that runs on Windows 8, they'll be useless for us developers.

TV Tonight: How I Met Your Mother
The Hollywood writers' strike ended more than a month ago, but tonight, it will finally start to feel over, as three CBS Monday comedies — The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, and Two and a Half Men — return with new episodes for the first time in months.
Of them, I'm most excited about How I Met Your Mother, which returns in its new 8:30 p.m. time slot with a St. Patrick's Day-themed episode called "No Tomorrow," in which Barney convinces Ted to toast the Irish by partying like there's . . . well, you know. This isn't the episode with Britney Spears, unfortunately — we have to wait another week for her highly anticipated guest spot — but there's a little Vanessa Minnillo action, if you're into that.
To prepare for the show's return, the cast members filmed a little video talking about their favorite episodes from the show's two and a half seasons (not surprisingly, Robin Sparkles is involved). To check it out, just

Tony-Winning Actress Faith Prince Teaches Master Class, Performs for Pre-College Students
Stage, screen and TV star on campus as part of the Summer Institute's Theater program for high school students
July 16, 2013
High school students attending this year's Pre-College Summer Institute in Theater were treated to a master class and performance by Tony Award-winning actress Faith Prince on July 12. The stage, screen and TV star took a brief break from rehearsals for her upcoming performance in the Broadway revival of "Annie" to teach and perform for the program's 45 students.
Sally Mayes, the program's artistic director and no stranger to Broadway herself, had this to say about Prince: "There is no better example of what a musical theater performer should be. The students will learn so much from watching Faith Prince work and listening to her talk about her process. We are so excited to have her take part in this amazing summer!"
Prince has been dazzling Broadway audiences since winning the Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards for her performance as Ms. Adelaide in "Guys and Dolls." In 2008, she was nominated for Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards for "A Catered Affair." Other Broadway credits include "The Little Mermaid," "Nick & Nora," "Jerome Robbins' Broadway" and "Noises Off." Prince also starred in the world premiere of Terrence McNally's "Unusual Acts of Devotion" and was most recently in the national tour of the Broadway hit "Billy Elliott."
She currently recurs on Lifetime's hit series "Drop Dead Diva" as Brooke Elliott's mother, Elaine. She was a series regular on Showtime's "Huff" and recurred for five seasons on "Spin City." Other television credits include "Ugly Betty," "Grey's Anatomy," "CSI," "Monk" and "Law and Order." Film credits include "Our Very Own," "Picture Perfect," "Dave" and "My Father the Hero."
Prince works often with the Boston Pops, Utah Symphony, Cincinnati Pops and Philly Pops, and recently starred in the Orlando Philharmonic's concert version of "Sweeney Todd." Her new album, "Total Faith," will be released soon and her award-winning album, "A Leap of Faith," is available now on DRG Records.
Designed for high school students getting ready to enter into performing arts programs in colleges around the country, the Pre-College Summer Institute's Theater program offers a wealth of courses and activities. This exciting and immersive four-week program enables students to experience what arts college and instructors are like, while earning three full college credits.

Keeping connected to friends and family in North Carolina hasn't been cheaper or easier. We offer consumers up to date statistics and data that report the latest North Carolina phone prices, plans and providers. Additionally, there are national statistics which they can use to compare phone products and services in NC against rest of the country.
To illustrate, using this information you'll find that there are presently 3 phone service providers in North Carolina selling an overall total of 125 various plans within the state. The prices of these home phone plans range from $33.00 - $130.00 with the latest average rate at $54.84 per phone plan.
Find out exactly how these North Carolina home phone plans rival the U.S. average above. Need to decide which telephone plan is the best solution for you? Continue reading to understand more about telephone plans and what you should contemplate before you select a service provider and package.
Which Home Phone Option is Right for You?
Talking with loved ones, whether you're at your house or out and about, is now simpler than ever. But which phone service supplies the most value for your money?
That will depend on how you wish to stay connected and where you need to call and receive telephone calls from. Below are only a couple of factors to take into consideration prior to deciding on which phone provider and plan to go with.
Local Phone Service
What is actually regarded as local differs by provider, where you reside and which phone service you have. Local might be:
- Your city or county
- Your state
- The United State
- The U.S. as well as its territories
- Your supplier's network
The majority of phone plans now cover unlimited local calls in the monthly fees, yet it's not unusual for plans to restrict local calls at a certain number of minutes then charge extra fees for each minute you go above that.
Long-distance Telephone Services
Have friends and family living outside of the U.S. or in another state? Have a business with a world-wide market?
Just like local calling areas, what exactly is thought to be long-distance varies according to numerous factors. Nevertheless, international calls will almost always be considered long-distance. You'll want to clearly comprehend which areas are considered long-distance since it's likely you'll incur extra charges on those calls.
Home Phone Service Providers and Packages
Home phones have been a staple in households for many years, and for many reasons. A home phone line keeps you linked to your family and friends, can allow for internet connection, and even save your life in the instance of a critical emergency.
The calling features that are included in your home phone service varies greatly from one provider to the next. Most offer low cost plans offering basic call features like call waiting, three-way calling and more. However, there's dozens of calling features available and if you aren't careful you may find yourself paying more for features you'll never use.
Major telephone service providers like Cox Communications allow consumers to choose precisely what features they would like to include in their phone service. Other service providers like Time Warner Cable and Comcast offer reasonably priced plans that package together in demand calling features.
Find the best telephone plans and service providers near you - call the toll-free telephone number above to find out about local telephone promotions or input your address in the box above to instantly compare offers.

Just went to the large garden center today for 'cool-weather' plants. I was looking for the pink wax begonias that grow so beautifully for me, especially in containers. I know you northerners are shaking your heads but I've have kept these blooming through most of our winters better than our hot summers. I only saw red ones, which I don't care for, until I couldn't resist the bargain area.
I was so surprised to see landscaper's flats of 18 plants, usually $10, about 5-8" tall, a bit…Continue

New shoots with great leaves coming up, even coming out of the drainage holes! Will put them in the ground ASAP. gotta love it!

Until now, our Homeowners Assoc. rules have been pretty strict regarding front yards. Only St. Augustine grass, no more than 25% of the area non-lawn, etc. Houses are close together with small front lawns and uniform landscaping does enhance the look. The builder gave each house a palm tree, magnolia tree and/or live oak. Now, 6 yrs later, we can see that most were planted without regard for the mature sizes. I've restricted my plantings in front to the two existing garden beds and…Continue

I will spare you an analysis of Ari LeVaux's outrageously flawed argumentation (see "Harvesting horses," May 16) of simply selling (killing) "used-up" horses to curb an alleged horse overpopulation, and instead thank him for the opportunity to present a real solution—birth control for horses (and deer).
Ari was only correct about one thing: There is absolutely no need for the BLM to waste taxpayers' money on cruel and senseless round-ups of horses, holding them indefinitely while much better, cheaper and humane solutions exist.
Horses, just like urban deer, do not need to (nor should they) be killed just because there are "too many" of them—after all, this is a human-caused problem that requires a scientific and ethically-sound solution. Ordering a death sentence to horses (or senselessly killing urban deer like the town of Helena has been doing) does not work because of the compensatory rebound effect, where wild animals will increase reproduction once others have been killed and removed, and more habitat and food sources become available.
The real solution, which is available right here in our backyard, is a vaccine that targets reproduction of wildlife. Nearly three-decade-long research has shown that the vaccine porcine zona pellucid, or PZP, has been successfully controlling reproduction in members of over 85 species, including free roaming horses, deer and African elephants, who otherwise would have been killed due to an alleged overpopulation.
The wild and free roaming horses in the Pryor Mountains have been successfully managed with PZP for many years now, and so have other free-roaming horse populations, including Assateague Island National Seashore. PZP treatment can be administered with darts and it is 95 percent effective in horses, safe even in pregnant mares and its effect is reversible within five years of treatment.
Jay Kirkpatrick, one of two leading scientists in wildlife fertility control, is with the Science and Conservation Center in Billings, Montana. He can be contacted at http://www.sccpzp.org.

A woman sits with her head bowed towards her belly which she both exposes and protects with her hand at the same time.
This is a portrait of the artist and his pregnant mother in 1967. She wears a suit which is very similar to the one worn by Jackie Kennedy on the day her husband President John F. Kennedy was shot.
The artist finds a new way to explore his identity. He shows how certain celebrity figures and events have had an effect on his memories of growing up.
Imagine time has moved forward twenty years! It is 2026!
How old are you now?
Which celebrity figures do you remember and why?
What events do you remember from when you were younger? What do you remember about them?

St. Cloud State Hosts 8th Annual Science Rocks! Conference [VIDEO]
Subscribe to AM 1240 WJON on
ST. CLOUD – Over 700 5th and 6th graders from Central Minnesota gathered at St. Cloud State University for the 8th annual Science Rocks!-Science and Nature Conference on Wednesday.
There were over 30 sessions available at the conference, kids learned about topics ranging from biology to photography. Students were broken into smaller groups for hands on experiments and sessions. One session even let kids see and touch pig hearts.
Sandra Cordie, the director of educational programs with Resource Training & Solutions was at the conference. She says the event has grown steadily over the years.
"We started with about 200 the first year, every year it's grown about 100 kids," Cordie says.
The conference hopes to give kids a hands-on learning experience, and to show off the fun that can be found in science.
Cordie adds that the conference can also inspire kids to become more interested in science.
"I think anytime you expose kids to something new it's always a good opportunity," Cordie says, "you just never know what that one exposure will do for children."

Yes. I left machine unplugged and when I returned and plugged machine back in the door was opened.

Thanks, Turtle91, but I don't agree with you.
As an habitual Sony reader I am accustomed to using a stylus when I need to, and I used a stylus on all the tests I did just so I could exclude that variant. Actually, I don't need to use a stylus on my Sony, but can always get the footnote links to work - they go to the endnote when I touch the link, and go back to the right place when I touch the link in the endnote file.
For what it is worth here is the CSS I use - learned from one of weatherwax's ebooks.

[1] Endnote text goes here

a.footnote {font-size: small; vertical-align: text-top;}
The numbers are of course changed for the individual endnotes.
A few days ago I sent a slightly changed version of my post #31 to Kobo Customer Assistance, and tonight I got a reply to the effect that the post had been sent up to the tier 2 team.

Kenny Richey was sentenced to death for starting a fire in which a two-year-old girl died - but he always denied having anything to do with the crime.
In some countries it is legal to kill someone if they're found guilty of a very bad crime, but it's not legal in the UK.
Lots of people can't decide whether the death penalty is right or wrong, but what do you think?
Should people being given the death sentence for a terrible crime? Or do you think it's too risky in case there's a chance they weren't guilty?
Unfortunately this topic is now closed but there are Comments pages on other subjects on the main Chat index.
"I only agree with the death penalty if there is no chance they're innocent. The killer should stay in prison until proved guilty or innocent."
James, 11, Edinburgh, Scotland
"Why do you think it was banned from England if it's not wrong?!"
Francesca, 11, Dudley, England
"I don't think it's a good idea because everyone has a right to live and sometimes the police can get the wrong person. I think for murder you should be jailed for life not killed."
Comhall, 10, Dublin, Ireland
"I agree because some people can just have one year in prison and come out and do the same thing! It stops people from doing it again."
Tuti, 8, Southampton, England
"No, I don't agree with the death penalty! EVERYBODY should get a second chance!"
Racheal, 12, Maisons-Laffitte, France
"I agree because if that person has committed murder then surely they should be killed themselves? But I think they should serve at least two years in prison first so they can live with the guilt of killing someone."
Mollz, 12, Devon, England
"I think they should pay a fine or go to jail for two years, but not die."
Pratheep, 10, Greater London, England
"Well yes and no. If they have murdered someone then I think they deserve it, but if it's stealing or anything else, then no."
Anna, 10, London, England
"It's wrong, if you're condemning someone for taking somebody else's life then why take their life? It's hypocritical, and there have been many cases where the suspect has been sentenced to death and then found innocent."
Emma, 12, Harrow, England
"I agree with the death penalty because if the person has killed someone then the person that died doesn't get a whole life so the killer shouldn't get their life."
Lily, 13, Liverpool, England
"I don't agree with the death penalty because I think it is less suffering if you were dead than if you were in prison for a long time."
Kelly, 11, Durham, England
"When evidence is absolutely concrete, with no chance of the person being innocent and for extreme cases, yes it could be used. But it's morally wrong so I'm against it."
Rory, 10, Burren, Ireland
"I don't think they should be killed because two wrongs don't make a right but they should be sent to jail for the rest of their life."
Elena, 10, Bangor, Wales
"Even the most despicable, low life criminal doesn't deserve death. You don't say "That was so wrong of you to kill them" and then kill them as well! This is the 21st century, not the Tudors!"
Hannah, 12, Petersfield, England
"Isn't a long period of time in prison worse anyway? That way you have to live with your guilt. You hear about people killing themselves in prison so obviously it's not a nice place to be. Isn't it a worse punishment?"
Hannah, 11, Birmingham, England
"Execution should have been banned completely ages ago. Just because someone has done something wrong doesn't mean they should die, no-one deserves to be killed."
Lauren, 10, Glamorgan, Wales
"I always say, "An eye for an eye and life for a life". If they're proved to be guilty of murdering someone, they deserve to die. The death penalty should be brought back in my opinion."
Madi, 13, Wales
"I don't agree with death to a person full stop! That person may have committed an awful crime but it was only that person that committed it and it wouldn't only be him who suffers for it. People forget about the families behind the person and how they are affected because it is them that has to live through it, not only the criminal."
Johnny, 12, London, England
"I think that there shouldn't be a death penalty but a punishment like being jailed for life and cleaning toilets at the same time!"
Amira, 12, Bradford, England
"Nobody has the right to take someone else's life. Murdering someone is still wrong but the death penalty is murder as much as a person being killed is."
Tom, 12, London, England
"It is wrong because, if the person who is going to be killed is innocent, then it would be very unfair."
Zahira, 11, London, England
"I think they should just be sent to prison. I don't think they should be put to death."
Anna, 8, Warwick, England
"I think that the death penalty is wrong. No-one deserves death."
Sarah, 10, Leeds, England
"Even if they did something wrong, nobody deserves to die."
Jack, 12, Mandelieu, France
"If that person has done something evil or something severely wrong then yes - they should have the death penalty."
Zara, 10, Crawley, England
"I find it unfair, yes they killed people - but killing isn't the answer"
Georgina, 9, Bath, England
"It is wrong and you are just sinking down to their level."
Abi, 12, Blackpool, England
"I think they should have the death penalty only if they have committed a really bad crime, like murder, and the police have enough facts to prove they're guilty."
Ellie, 11, Stevenage, England
"I believe a death penalty is right because it teaches them a lesson. After all, they murdered someone and stopped them from living!"
Ashton, 11, York, England
"If someone is found to have definitely killed someone, and not by accident, they should receive the death penalty!"
Edie, 12, Solihull, England
"I think the death penalty is a bad idea because it's pretty much sinking to their level. How is it any different than murder?"
Emily, 13, Brighton, England

Dolce & Gabbana Male Models Wrestle, Dance
Is it ever too early in the day to watch male dancers grapple in a Dolce & Gabbana video? We thinks not.

Delta Squad divides and conquers in Embry.
Right off the bat, you're given a choice to go left or right. We'll choose the path to the left. After turning a corner to the left, take cover on one side of the doorway ahead. There are Locust waiting at the top of the stairway on the other side of the empty door frame, so stay here and pick 'em off. A well-placed grenade will help here, too, but be careful not to leave yourself exposed for too long.
When you've cleared the stairway, head upstairs and take cover behind the concrete block to the right. If you charge into the next room, you'll be overwhelmed by enemies, so stay put and thin out the pack from safety. When the room seems clear, carefully peek inside and then make your way through the bathroom up ahead.
After opening a doorway (activate the green-lit panel) you'll reunite with your other two squadmates and engage another pack of Locust to the left. One of the enemies is raining bullets your way from another Troika that has to be stopped. For now, avoid the turret and run straight across the room, into a darkened hall directly in front of you.
Take cover just inside the empty door frame to the right. Peek out and look for an enemy Locust perched inside a small building straight ahead. Pick him off from here, then exit through the doorway and take cover behind the large cylinder. From here, you can safely run to the front of the building on the right and break down the door to move inside.
Go up the stairs inside and you can see the Troika gunner below (along with any remaining enemies). Toss a grenade onto the Troika gunner—if you're out of grenades, look on the floor inside the building to find some. When the Troika gunner is taken out, you shouldn't have much trouble clearing the rest of the room. But even when all of the enemies in the room are killed, don't take time to rest.
Quickly run downstairs and take control of the Troika you just cleared. Straight ahead, through the room you and your crew first entered, a flood of Locust will come charging in. Mow them down with the Troika and then pick off any stragglers that are hiding out. When all's settled down, move away from the Troika nest. A Locust Drone will smash through the door to the next chapter. Take him from a safer distance, then move through the door he busted through to reach Knock Knock.

Each week, we seek expert advice to help a small or medium-sized business overcome a key issue.
Can there be another Cash Man? That's the question Russell Oliver has been asking himself over the past year as he attempts to bring his 43-year-old gold-buying business to new markets in Ontario.
Most Torontonians know Mr. Oliver as the gregarious, loud-mouthed owner of Oliver Jewellery, which has 16 employees. His commercials, which feature him yelling at viewers urging them to sell him their gold and ends with the catchy "I'm the Cash Man" jingle, have made him a household name among regular folks and gold sellers alike.
For more than four decades, Mr. Oliver has operated out of one midtown location, but he would now like to open stores across the Greater Toronto Area and possibly in other provinces.
However, he thinks he needs a "mini-me" – someone as passionate and extroverted as he is to be the face of the new stores.
"They have to be outgoing, loquacious, get on with people and can get people's items from them," he says. "I need someone like myself."
He has found one person to run a new Oakville location, which he opened in November – his son Jonas "The Cash Kid" Oliver. He does have two other sons, but they aren't interested in running new stores, he says.
Mr. Oliver is ready to open a new location in Peterborough – he has the space picked out – he just needs to find someone to operate it.
He has spoken to headhunters, posted on Craigslist, searched on Workopolis and put ads in trade magazines. He has interviewed eight people and he has even gotten as far as testing some of them out in his Toronto and Oakville stores, but, in the end, no one has been a good fit.
"They're missing something," he says. "We need to figure out what exactly that is."
If he can't find someone like him to man the stores, then his expansion plans may have to be put on hold, he says.
The Challenge: How can Russell Oliver find someone like him to run new locations in Ontario and beyond?
Peter George, chief executive officer at branding agency McKim Communications Group Ltd., Winnipeg
This is a huge problem for businesses that are built on the personality of one individual. His best strategy is to be the face of the business as long as he can.
He can make cameo appearances at the stores, but the person he hires doesn't have to be like him. He can split the jobs – he'll be the spokesman or the mascot, the other person can operate the store.
However, if he wants to find someone like him, he should do what he does best: create a commercial about it. Have people send in audition tapes and get customers to vote on YouTube or in-store to pick the new Cash Man.
Meg Schmitz, senior franchise consultant with FranChoice, a company that helps people find franchises to buy, Chicago
It might be a dumb idea to try to expand when you're the secret sauce. One problem is that he doesn't really know how well his other stores will do without him there. You can build a lot of profit margin with just a personality. Someone else, even someone as charismatic, may not be able to drive people to the store.
Maybe there is someone out there, but eight interviews isn't enough. He needs to talk to hundreds of people and maybe he can find them by recruiting through commercials. He also can't be anxious and jump the gun. Be patient and strategic. He has a brand to protect.
Brian Scudamore, founder and CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, Vancouver
I ran into the same problem when I wanted to expand my business. I looked for someone just like me, but I'm a pretty unique individual and couldn't find another me. I had to take my skills and systematize the way I work – put down in writing what you want someone to do and then train that person to do it.
Instead of finding someone like him, though, make the stores look and feel like they are his places even without him there. He could do that by putting up pictures of himself on the wall or a video of him welcoming people into the store. Look at Steve Jobs. Everyone felt connected to him personally, but most people never met him. You walked into the Apple store and said, "This is Steve Jobs' place."
Have fun with it
Ask potential job candidates to submit audition tapes and run a contest on social media.
Keep looking
You can build a lot of profit margin with just a personality. Be patient and make the right choice.
Stop looking
Create a "presence" by hanging pictures of Mr. Oliver on the wall or running a video of him welcoming people into the stores.

Walking Grey Mares Tail - Scottish Walks.
Tuesday 28th June. 2011.
On the first day of my 3 day walk in the moffat are, my main objective was to visit a well known attraction of the vicinity, called The Grey Mares Tail. This is a waterfall of some standing and is supplied from the waters of nearby Loch Skene.
There are two car parks by the roadside and the treck starts here. Cross over a small bridge, climb some rocky steps and the full track leading to the falls is clearly visible. To reach the falls should only take about fifteen minutes, however should you want to continue to Loch Skeen, 1 mile north of white coomb, on this path, the whole trip will take around two hours.

Classy campaigner Yeats secured his place in history by becoming just the second horse to capture three consecutive renewals of the Gold Cup (Eng-I) at Royal Ascot June 19.
Sagaro was the first to complete the hat trick between 1975 and 1977, and the Aidan O'Brien-trained Yeats equaled that impressive record with a five-length victory under Johnny Murtagh.
The 7-year-old son of Sadler's Wells ran comfortably in fourth as long shot Le Miracle went to the front and set a moderate pace. Undefeated French raider Coastal Path sat just behind Le Miracle, with Finalmente holding the third spot.
As the field entered the final half-mile of the 2 1/2-mile marathon, Coastal Path took over from Le Miracle. Yeats was beginning his move on the outside, and the pair quickly opened up a few lengths on the rest of the field.
Geordieland suddenly loomed as a threat on the far outside, and the three opponents ran abreast of each other for several strides.
Coastal Path was the first of the trio to crack with two furlongs left to run. Yeats and Geordieland continued to battle it out, with Yeats finally asserting his superiority and gradually pulling away in the final furlong to win impressively.
Coastal Path held on for third, 4 1/2-lengths behind Geordieland. The final time for the 2 1/2-miles was 4:21.14 over the good to firm turf.
An elated Aidan O'Brien told reporters afterwards, "It's unbelievable and I really didn't think it would happen." "The lads (at home) did a great job to get him here for one Gold Cup, and then he came back for a second one, and now a third one--it's unbelievable."
The Ballydoyle conditioner added, "He's a very straightforward, clean-winded, and very sound horse, and the lads say he gets very aggressive when he's fit. He's a great mover with massive lungs and he has a massive heart."
Yeats, who was bred in Ireland by Barronstown Stud and Orpendale, is out of the Top Ville mare Lyndonville. He is owned by Susan Magnier and Diana Nagle.

Re: How to simplify?
Not sure what's your problem. Executing your code I get:
BesselJ[0, r]
{{y[r] -> -1 + 1/2 r BesselJ[1, r] + C[2] + C[1] (
Apart from the constants C[2] and C[1] and the -1 this is exactly the
1/2 r BesselJ[1, r] you want to get. For a 2nd order diff eq the
constants look OK to me. I don't see what kind of numerical approach
(and why) you took with the results of DSolve to check the answer as
it is already in the correct form (taking C[2]=1 and C[1]=0).
What version of Mathematica are you using?

The Seattle City Attorney's Office has decided not to press charges against Bill Gates' father after the community leader apologized for a hit-and-run collision and paid for damages.
According to documents obtained by KIRO-TV, the incident happened in August.
Investigators say they found Bill Gates Sr.'s Mercedes near Seattle Center, wedged against another car, with the engine running and the keys in the ignition.
The police report says the owner of the other car called 911 and Gates' vehicle was towed. When he and a friend returned, the 84-year-old Gates was given a citation for a hit-and-run incident. No one was injured in the incident.
Gates' friend said at the time that Gates may have had a "senior moment" and didn't know he was so close to the other vehicle.
A Gates family spokesman told KIRO-TV this week that Bill Gates Sr. was unaware of the incident until he returned to his car.

Gators descend into also-ran status
Florida scored seven points against the Bulldogs. Florida lost to Mississippi State at home in a game where MSU scored 10 points. Florida should be embarrassed.
Published: Saturday, October 16, 2010 at 11:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 16, 2010 at 11:28 p.m.
Hello, Shreveport.
The destination for the also-rans of the Southeastern Conference now looks like a possible destination for the Florida Gators. You may remember the Gators, winners of two national titles, dominant program in the SEC. This team hardly resembles those great Gator teams of the past.
Instead, it resembles, well, nothing I've seen around here for a long time.
On Saturday night, Florida lost to a team that didn't really try to score. I'm sure all of you pining for the Dan Mullen days were impressed with that second half of offense where Mississippi State ran the ball 29 out of 30 plays. But that's all Mullen needed to do in his return to The Swamp — control the clock and count on Florida's offense being it's usual bad self when a play needed to be made.
Florida scored seven points against the Bulldogs. Florida lost to Mississippi State at home in a game where Mississippi State scored 10 points.
Florida should be embarrassed.
"We're not very good," Urban Meyer said in his post-game presser. He said it several times. He could have said it another 20 times and come well short of the number of times it was said in the press box. And that's just at my seat.
Even on a day when Kentucky did the Gators a favor by knocking off South Carolina, Florida slipped deeper into the abyss of mediocrity. Funny thing, Meyer's team still controls its own destiny. Win out and you go to Atlanta.
Yeah, I said it.
Win out.
Doesn't seem possible right now.
If the loss to Alabama was predictable and the loss to LSU was numbing, this loss made you feel like you wanted to lose your tailgate food. I can give you plenty of reasons why Florida lost again, how Meyer did something that Ron Zook never did (lose three straight games), how bad this team is playing right now.
"You can point the fingers all over the place," Meyer said.
It's too easy. The offense is bad. Injuries are part of the reason. Play-calling is a big part of the reason. A lack of playmakers is a huge part of it. Remember that the next time you're drooling over recruiting rankings.
The defense isn't very good either.
And remember when special teams were a strong suit for UF?
I don't know if it's ignorance or arrogance but something has to change.
We all think we know what's wrong with Florida, what we would do with a bye week, but what are the answers?
More than anything, there are more questions.
Some of us have refused to step onto the window ledge as this team has struggled through the first half of the season. But this, a 10-7 loss to a team that came into this season thinking Shreveport was Shangri-La, it's just hard to understand.
You look at this team and realize it's two plays away from being 6-1. But those two plays seem like 200.
There's something not quite right about the 2010 Gators. Whether it's Meyer's time off, the new coaches, the old coaches, the players, the chemistry, whatever it is, there is something not right with this team.
A lot of you want to pin it all on Steve Addazio. I didn't see anything Saturday night that would make me want to argue with you.
Florida continues to make first down a lost down. This season, Florida has had 58 first down running plays that have gained three or fewer yards. Defenses have taken the approach with the UF offense that it's OK to drop into deep coverage because nobody is going to take a short pass and make it a long one. The running game has been crippled by injuries.
"We were down to zero backs," Meyer said.
Yeah, except Mack Brown was sitting on the bench. If your offense is so complicated that it renders players useless, maybe it's time to simplify things.
Look, this head football coach has done some amazing things at Florida. He deserves adulation and respect. But this team he has put together should not be as pitiful as it is. Maybe he'll figure something out in the next two weeks.
Maybe he won't.
Maybe we should check out the December weather in Shreveport.
I know this much — I'm happy Florida is off next week.
Because we don't have to watch them.

5 Healthy New Year's Resolutions for Men
Experts share their thoughts on the top 5 things men can do to get healthy in the new year
By Dulce Zamora
Reviewed By Michael Smith, MD
The new year is a time many men rethink their lives and make resolutions to get their health back on track. Viven Valdez is no exception.
Medical school has been a big challenge for Valdez. He has spent day and night poring over textbooks, preparing for the day when he can practice as an osteopathic doctor. In the meantime, he has neglected his own health, gaining 30 pounds since he entered the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie, Penn.
"I'm usually studying, sitting on my butt for two-thirds of the day," says Valdez, a California native. "Plus, I don't get out as much since the weather in the Northeast gets so cold."
To lose weight, the 30-year-old has started jogging for 15 minutes three days a week. His New Year's resolution is to work up to a 1-mile run per day at least four times a week.
Valdez is certainly not alone in his goal of shedding pounds. About 34% of men and 26% of men make weight loss their New Year's resolution, according to a small study conducted by John C. Norcross, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania.
In his research, Norcross has found that at least 40% of adults make one or more resolutions each year, and at least two-thirds of them vow to change something unhealthy about themselves. The popular resolutions concern weight gain, inactivity, and smoking.

text: How to Interview for an Industry That's New to You Posted October 21, 2013 by Kendall Schwartz in College Life Tags: College Life, Career Development Changing your career and breaking into a new industry can be exciting but nerve-wracking. Hiring managers may view candidates that are transitioning into a new career as a risky hire due to the lack of hands-on experience. Therefore, the interview is crucial; in order to be successful in transitioning into a new career field you will need to show the interviewer that you are flexible and confident and that your background and skills make you the best candidate for the position. Determine and Highlight Your Transferable Skills During an interview, it's very important to discuss your transferable skills and show the interviewer how you plan to take your background and be successful in the new industry. For example, if your background is in retail and you are looking to obtain a career in an office setting, discuss your customer service skills, describing how you listened to customers and found solutions for them to ensure they left happy resulting in repeat business. For example, you could discuss a time when you went above and beyond for customers, making sure to give specific examples such as "There was one time when a customer was upset, I then [share how you handled the situation.] Afterwards, the customer thanked me." Be sure to have a beginning, middle and end to each example that you share. When discussing why and how your interaction began, you want to mention your solution and the result. Then, add how you feel confident in being successful and ensuring repeat business due to the superb customer service skills you possess. Giving specific examples shows the interviewer how you have been successful and gives them a chance to imagine you being successful within the company. Sign on for Volunteer Work Volunteering in the field that you are interested in is a great way to get hands-on experience. One of the benefits of volunteer experience is that it shows the interviewer how serious you are about transitioning into a new career. In addition to providing you with talking points for interviews, this is also a great opportunity for you to network and to add additional experience to your resume. Don't Forget Your Education Experience in the field isn't the only way to gain knowledge about an industry. Make sure to draw on your education in the interview. You do not just want to discuss the classes that you took in your degree program; highlight the knowledge that you gained and how it will assist you in your success within the position. Go into detail: talk about specific projects, papers and research that you did to help illustrate your knowledge of the industry and your desire to be part of the company. You can also use what you know to help determine what questions you should ask during the interview - this can be an opportunity to demonstrate how you can be a great fit for the company and the role.

text: By The Associated Press___ JPMorgan Chase reaches $4.5 billion settlement JPMorgan Chase & Co. said Friday it has reached a $4.5 billion settlement with investors over mortgage-backed securities. The settlement covers 21 major institutional investors. The mortgage-backed securities were issued by JPMorgan and Bear Stearns between 2005 and 2008. New York-based JPMorgan acquired the failing investment bank Bear Stearns in March 2008. The deal is the latest in a series of legal settlements over JPMorgan's sales of mortgage-backed securities in the years preceding the financial crisis. As the housing market collapsed between 2006 and 2008, millions of homeowners defaulted on high-risk mortgages. That led to billions of dollars in losses for investors who bought securities created from bundles of mortgages. Those securities were sold by JPMorgan and other big Wall Street banks. ___ Retailers take on Silicon Valley SAN FRANCISCO (AP) a¿¿ Software engineers wearing jeans and flip flops test the latest smartphone apps.
