The company also has other issues, such as a balance sheet laden with debt and a dual-class share structure that gives common shareholders almost no voting power. For all of these reasons, Cramer said investors need to steer clear of Manchester United at all costs.
Action Alerts PLUS . Cramer said that while many perceive the tablet market as a zero-sum game, in fact there is plenty of room for more tablets and smartphones. What there is no room for are personal computers. Tablets and phones cannibalize all flavors of PCs, be they desktops, laptops, notebooks, netbooks or ultrabooks. So when it comes to this next generation of devices, there's plenty of room for both players -- especially given that outside of Apple and Amazon, there really are so few real players. --Written by Scott Rutt in Washington, D.C.

Squirrels roped into road safety
The Isle of Wight has introduced a road safety measure to protect its most timid pedestrians - red squirrels.
Protected by a law which says the animals cannot be owned or killed, the squirrels' biggest enemy on the island is the car.
Inspired by a television advertisement for lager shown several years ago, animal lovers came up with a novel yet seemingly foolproof way to avoid such tragedies taking place.
Take one 40ft rope and attach it from one side of the road to the other to act as a bridge for squirrels.
The rope should be high enough to clear any danger below and wide enough to accommodate the most clumsy claw.
Then place a handful of nuts on either side of the rope to encourage the furry pedestrians onto the rope.
The new measure was a gamble, but one which has been worth taking, according to Helen Butler of the Wight Squirrel Project. "It is the only way to get them across the road without getting killed, and it works. There was only one seen on the road about four or five days after it was put up," she said.
The red squirrel is very dear to the inhabitants of the Isle of Wight, becoming the island's official mascot last year.

Since this same question is asked in the Bhagavad-gita (8.1),
I would suggest that you read about it there. The best translation
that I am aware of is the Bhagavad-Gita As It Is, by His Divine
Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. It's probably in your
school or local public library, since it has been acclaimed by
leading scholars. The commentary is also very clear and easy to
read. You will find the concept of "Brahman" mentioned throughout
the book too. Good luck!

What could happen if we each concentrated on just one high school senior and made that prospective student our own "come-to-Calvin" focus for the next nine months?
Every Calvin alumna, alumnus, parent, faculty and staff member, current student, and school teacher knows a high school senior who would benefit from Calvin's "heart and mind" education. So, think about who your "one" could be and how you might connect with them this year to personally encourage them to consider Calvin.
Our gift to you
If you let us know who you're talking to, we'll thank you with a gift:
- a coupon for a free burrito at the conveniently located MOE'S restaurant on the East Beltline (current students)
- a Recommend ONE t-shirt (faculty, staff, alumni and parents)
Keep talking with your ONE
- Invite them to visit …or bring a group
- Encourage them to apply for free by November 15 (January 2 for Canadians and Internationals)
- Connect them to our amazing SAO concerts or other events
- Take them to a game
- Introduce them to our student bloggers
School teachers
If you are a graduate of Calvin and a teacher, we'd love to know where you teach and if you are willing to promote Calvin in subtle (and not so subtle) ways. The Recommend ONE program at has a special "alumni teacher form" that alerts us to you and your school and gives you the chance to ask for some Calvin promotional gear for your classroom. Thank you, alumni teachers, for the important work you do to open hearts and minds to God's word and world!

It is essential to create a Catholic culture in which every aspect of the school community is imbued with a sense of faith and strives to proclaim the Gospel message. The root of all instructional decisions is in the magisterial teachings of the Church and her long-established traditions. In addition, the school should be a place where students have ready access to formal prayer, religious images, and statues, all things that help to make the spiritual closer to the human mind.
"Let them put Christ before all else; and may he lead us all to everlasting life."

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hello, I am here for you and am happy to respond. Give me a moment to carefully read over and consider your question.
I have been practicing couples and marital therapy for 20 years and am very impressed with the amount of thought you are giving this relationship. Most often, people proceed into a sexual affair without considering the consequences. The fact that you are so attracted to this young woman and spend so much time texting her tells me that you are very lonely in your marriage. Emotional affairs and/or sexual affairs are almost always a symptom of marital problems. You are probably getting the attention from this woman that you are not getting from your wife. And yes, you are infatuated with her; and when we are infatuated we often make decisions we later regret.
The fact that you feel a competition with another friend of hers who is your age could also cause you to make an unwise decision. So I urge you to think of the consequences of beginning a sexual affiar with this young woman, which could result in an end to your marriage. I believe you would find seeing a therapist very helpful in sorting through your feelings at this time and making a good decision. I hope this is helpful. Chat back if you need anything further and I will continue to help. If you are satisfied with my answer, please submit a positive rating. Thank you and take care, Eleanor

In a transformation befitting of Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol," Haiti's former dictator Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, now back in his homeland after years in exile, wants to lay his hands on millions of dollars, he says, to help rebuild his catastrophe-ridden homeland.
His lawyer says Duvalier wants to unfreeze millions held in Swiss bank accounts in order to aid his people. —JCL
An American attorney representing Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier said Saturday that the former dictator returned to Haiti in hopes of recovering millions frozen in Swiss bank accounts and channeling them through a U.S. intermediary to help rebuild his troubled homeland.
In the past, Duvalier has attempted to personally claim the $5.7 million in a bank account belonging to a family foundation. But attorney Ed Marger said the highly controversial and polarizing former leader now wants to use the money to help Haiti, devastated a year ago by a massive earthquake.
"He doesn't want the funds for himself," Marger told CNN. "He wants a transparent entity to release the funds."

Exclusive: Celebrity Religion 'Shiantology' Sweeping The Nation
Forget about Scientology, people. There's a new religion in town and you better get used to it.
Shiantology is a fictional religion in which Transformers 2 star Shia LaBeouf is worshipped by thousands of fans, fittingly called "Shiantologists." Started in February 2009, the site has gained a huge following on Twitter (over 16,000 followers).
The amusing Web site, Shiantology.com, features daily walking posts of the 23-year-old actor, tons of videos, as well as absolutely hysterical Photoshopped images of Shia in various religious settings.
We caught up with the founders of the site, Jen LaBeouf and Betsy LaBeouf, in an exclusive interview, and let's just say we may need to convert ourselves.
"We were enjoying one of Shia's favorite beverages, Arizona Iced Tea, and talking about our favorite actor when the name hit us. It all went downhill from there," the girls reveal.
"One of the goals of the religion is also to make LaBeouf the most common last name, hence we require all followers to change their name to 'First name + LaBeouf.'"
We've included some of their funniest creations in our new gallery. You have to see these pictures to believe it.
Let us know in the comments: If you had to create a religion based around one celebrity, who would it be?

EMU awarded $12,000 for future teachers of the visually impaired
YPSILANTI — Thanks to the Michigan Braille Transcribing Fund, two Eastern Michigan University special education students may be closer to achieving their goals – teaching the visually impaired. The Fund, a nonprofit, service organization staffed by inmates at the State Prison of Southern Michigan, recently awarded EMU $12,000 for scholarships.
The gift, part of a five-year commitment, will cover a full-tuition scholarship for two students majoring in visual impairment in EMU's special education department.
The first scholarships will be awarded midway through the Fall 2004 semester since one requirement of the scholarship is for students to be successfully enrolled in a Braille course.
"The generous scholarship gift from the Michigan Braille Transcribing Fund will certainly assist in addressing the nationwide shortage of highly-qualified teachers of students with visual impairment," said Lynne Rocklage, head of EMU's Department of Special Education.
EMU has the only undergraduate program in Michigan that trains teachers of the visually impaired and is one of only a few universities nationwide offering this training. There are approximately 50 students in EMU's special education, visually impaired program, said Rocklage.
The Michigan Braille Transcribing Fund began as a volunteer effort by inmates at the State Prison of Southern Michigan and now encompasses a complete training program and Braille production center. Trainees undergo a certification process prescribed by the Library of Congress and transcribe textbooks and other "hard to Braille" materials such as bus schedules and corporate manuals.
For additional information, contact Rocklage at 734.487.3300.
Eastern Michigan University is a public, comprehensive university that offers programs in the arts, sciences and professions. EMU prepares students with the intellectual skills and practical experiences to succeed in their career and lives, and to be better citizens.

Officials say an oil sheen confirmed about 9 miles off Florida's coast could hit Pensacola's beaches by the end of this week, media outlets report.
"It's inevitable that we will see it on the beaches," Keith Wilkins, deputy chief of neighborhood and community services for Escambia County, told the Associated Press.
The latest projections from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show the oil slick is moving into the mouth of Mobile Bay, then sliding east across Alabama's coastline and touching Florida's beaches by about Thursday, the St. Petersberg Times reports.
Escambia County officials started putting out booms Tuesday to prepare for the oil's arrival, the story says.
"It's all going to depend on the weather. The wind could change it," NOAA spokesman Ben Sherman told the St. Petersberg Times.
Florida officials say BP has yet to answer the state's request for about $150,000 to buy sifting machines and a tractor to remove oil from the beaches, the AP reports.
City officials in Gulf Breeze told the Pensacola News Journal they were ready to launch a backup plan to protect its six miles of coastline if BP cannot stop the oil.
That plan includes using 6,000 feet of turbidity curtains to protect the shoreline, sending out volunteer coast watchers to keep an eye on approaching oil and deploying a team of trained firefighters to use a $19,000 oil skimmer, according to the News Journal.
"BP is the first responder," City Manager Edwin Eddy said in the story. "What we're doing is prevention and protection methods."

The Classical Club was a social academic club composed of students interested in Greek and Latin language and culture. The exact date of the founding of the club is unknown. In May, 1910, there were ten members of the club. The group presented papers at bimonthly meetings, placed classical studies titles in the libraries, arranged panel discussions, and hosted visiting lecturers. One well-publicized event was a meeting where Professor A. R. Anderson of Duke University presented a paper on Virgil to commemorate the bimillennium of the poet's birth.
In 1924, the Parthenon Club of Trinity College, a women's club also interested in the classics, joined the men's Classical Club. In 1927, more women interested in classical studies created the Forum Club, and held joint meetings with the Classical Club. The Classical Club continued to be active at Duke University until sometime after 1944.
The Classical Club records include minutes, constitutions, bylaws, a sketch, calendars, membership lists, correspondence, a draft of a paper, and clippings. Major subjects include Trinity College history, Duke University history, student groups, male college students, study of classical languages and appreciation of classical literature. Materials range in date from 1910 to 1944.

Rosters Announced For California League/Carolina League All-Star Game Presented By Bank of America On June 17 At Frawley Stadium
Rocks Represented By Four Players At Upcoming All-Star Event
By Matt Janus and Seth Bernstein / Wilmington Blue Rocks | June 4, 2014 12:26 PM ET
Wilmington, DE- The rosters for the 2014 California League/Carolina League All-Star Game, presented by Bank of America, were announced on Wednesday by the respective leagues. The game, which will be held at Frawley Stadium on Tuesday, June 17, will feature four players from the host Blue Rocks, as well as five of the top 100 prospects in baseball according to MLB.com.
Wilmington pitchers Christian Binford, Jonathan Dziedzic and Mark Peterson, as well as catcher Cam Gallagher will represent the Blue Crew on the Carolina League squad, the second-most All-Stars from one team in the Carolina League. Binford and Dziedzic have anchored the Blue Rocks starting rotation, with each ranking in the top-10 in the Carolina League in ERA and strikeouts-per-nine-innings-pitched. Binford leads the league in total punchouts and also sits top-five in the eight-team loop in batting average against and WHIP. Dziedzic leads the Rocks in wins with five. Peterson has been the top closer in the Carolina League with a league-high 11 saves in as many tries. He has also posted a scant 0.73 ERA and has worked 23 consecutive scoreless frames. Gallagher has been one of the most consistent defensive backstops all season. On offense, he bettered his batting average by 50 points during the month of May.
The Myrtle Beach Pelicans, who have the best record in the Carolina League by a wide margin, have the most representatives on the Carolina League team. The Pelicans will send three pitchers, a catcher, two infielders and two outfielders to Wilmington. Starting hurlers Alex Gonzalez and Andrew Faulkner will be joined by their battery mate, Jorge Alfaro. Gonzalez and Faulkner each rank in the top-five in the league in earned run average. Gonzalez is 5-2 with a 2.49 ERA, while Faulkner has posted a perfect 4-0 mark and a 2.28 ERA. The Texas Rangers selected Gonzalez No. 23 overall in the first round of the 2013 Draft. Alfaro is batting .272 with five homers, 30 RBIs and 18 extra-base hits. Southpaw Alex Claudio will come to Wilmington out of the Pelicans bullpen. Claudio is 3-0 with a 1.19 ERA in 13 relief appearances totaling 37.2 innings pitched. In the outfield, Nick Williams and Royce Bolinger will represent the Pelicans. Williams, who was drafted in the second round of the 2012 Draft by the Rangers, ranks sixth in the Carolina League with a .305 batting average. He also places top-five in the loop in RBIs, hits and doubles. Bolinger ranks fifth in the Carolina League in hitting with a .308 average. The Pelicans will also supply both corner infielders, with Preston Beck at first base and Joey Gallo at third. Beck has 33 RBIs to go along with a .359 OBP, while Gallo has been the best power hitter in all of Minor League Baseball. He leads the Carolina League with 21 home runs, more than two different teams and 11 more than any other player. He also leads the loop in on-base percentage, total bases, slugging percentage, extra-base hits and RBIs. Gallo is a former first-round pick; the Rangers took him No. 39 overall in the 2012 Draft.
The Carolina Mudcats have the third-most players with three. Starting pitcher Ryan Merritt, infielder Erik Gonzalez and outfielder Anthony Gallas are all headed to Wilmington. Merritt leads Carolina League starters with his 1.71 ERA. The southpaw is also 6-2 on the year. Gonzalez has the longest hitting streak of anyone in the loop this season with a 16-gamer in April, while Gallas leads the league in doubles and is second in extra-base hits and slugging percentage. Gonzalez also has the distinction of being on the Cleveland Indians' 40-man roster.
Three Salem Red Sox have been named to the Carolina League All-Star Team, but only two will be active. The batting leader, Reed Gragnani, and one of only two men in the Carolina League to pitch a complete-game shutout this season, Justin Haley, are the two Red Sox who will appear in the game. Outfielder Jonathan Roof was also named to the team, but will not play due to promotion.
The Lynchburg Hillcats and Potomac Nationals each have two All-Stars on the Carolina League roster. Lynchburg's Greg Ross, who has the second-lowest baserunners-per-nine-innings-pitched ratio in the league, and infielder Jose Peraza, who shares the Carolina League lead with 27 stolen bases and is third in the loop with a .319 average, will represent Lynchburg. Infielders Stephen Perez and Shawn Pleffner are the P-Nats who were named All-Stars
The Frederick Keys will also have two All-Stars, but one is unavailable for the game due to injury. Pitcher Matt Taylor, who ranks second in the Carolina League in ERA at 1.94, was named to the squad but is currently on the Disabled List. Frederick's one active All-Star is outfielder Glynn Davis, whose .313 batting average places him fourth in the league.
Second-year Carolina Leaguer Courtney Hawkins is the only member of the Dash to make the squad. Hawkins has enjoyed an impressive sophomore season in Winston-Salem. He is second in the league in homers and also ranks top-five in the loop in RBIs, extra-base hits and slugging percentage. Hawkins was taken No. 13 overall in the first round of the 2012 Draft by the Chicago White Sox.
The Carolina League team will be skippered by Wilmington manager Darryl Kennedy. He is in his second season with the Blue Rocks and has the Blue Crew just one game out of first place in the Carolina League North. Wilmington pitching coach Steve Luebber, the longest-tenured coach in Blue Rocks history, will also be on the staff, along with trainer James Stone, who is in this third season with Wilmington and clubhouse manager Josh DiBiase, in his second year with the Rocks.
On the other side, the California League pitching staff features nine talented hurlers representing seven different clubs. Right-handers Austin Adams and Kurt Spomer hail from the Inland Empire 66ers. Both pitchers have dominated in relief this season. Adams is 0-1 with a 2.39 ERA and has struck out 34 in 26.1 innings pitched across 19 outings. Spomer has been every bit as difficult on opposing hitters. He is 2-1 with a 0.34 ERA and 18 punchouts in 26.2 frames through 19 appearances. Righty Enrique Burgos comes from the Visalia Rawhide, where he has gone 0-2 with a 3.22 ERA and 11 saves in 22 appearances out of the bullpen. He has whiffed 30 and worked a total of 22.1 innings pitched. Right-handers Trevor Gott and Joe Ross join the squad from the Lake Elsinore Storm. Gott is second in the California League with 15 saves and has amassed a 2-3 record to go along with his sterling 2.70 ERA. He has struck out 27 and walked just nine in 26.2 innings across 25 appearances. Ross has been outstanding as a starting pitcher and is tied for fifth in the California League with a 3.07 ERA across his 12 starts. He has a record of 5-3 and has punched out 62 batters in his 67.1 innings of work, good for fifth in the league.
Lancaster's Josh Hader has split time between the starting rotation and the bullpen. Eight of the southpaw's 12 appearances have been starts. Hader is 5-0 with a 2.44 ERA and has struck out 69 in 55.1 innings pitched. He is second in the California League in punchouts and in ERA. The California League's best starting pitcher, right-hander Ben Lively, hails from the Bakersfield Blaze. Lively sits atop the leaderboard in wins, ERA and strikeouts. The righty is 9-1 with a 1.95 ERA and 86 strikeouts in 74 innings pitched across 12 starts. He has issued only 13 walks on the campaign. Left-handed reliever Steven Okert has terrorized opposing hitters to the tune of a 1.17 ERA in 28 outings for the San Jose Giants. Okert leads the California League with 17 saves in 17 tries and has struck out 49 in 30.2 innings pitched. Rounding out the California League staff is righty Seth Streich of the Stockton Ports. Streich has made 12 starts this season and is 6-4 with a 3.41 ERA. He has struck out 67, good for third in the California League and walked 15 in 63.1 innings pitched. Andrew Barbosa of the Visalia Rawhide and Nate Smith of the Inland Empire 66ers were also named to the California League team, but both will be inactive.
Shortstop Carlos Correa, whom the Houston Astros selected No. 1 overall in the 2012 Draft, headlines a group of seven skilled infielders on the California League roster. Correa is sixth in the California League with a .328 batting average. He has homered five times and driven in 49 while getting on base at a .399 clip for the Lancaster JetHawks. Those 49 RBIs rank second in the league. Correa's double-play partner with the JetHawks, Anthony Kemp, joins him in the California League infield. Kemp has done nothing but hit this season, compiling a .339 batting average, three homers and 28 RBIs to go along with a sky-high .430 on-base percentage, which is tops the California League. The speedy left-handed hitter leads the loop with 80 hits and has swiped 21 bags in 27 tries, good for second in the league. Corey Seager and Chris Jacobs both join the team from the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. Seager was selected No. 18 overall by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2012 Draft and is living up to his billing as a top prospect this season. For the Quakes, he is batting .335 with eight homers and 37 RBIs in 50 games while getting on base at a .388 clip. Seager is tied for third in the California League in batting average and first in doubles with 21. Jacobs owns a .281 batting average for the Quakes and has gone deep 10 times while driving in 40.
Trevor Story of the Modesto Nuts has a .323 average, which leaves him seventh in the California League, to go along with three homers and 22 driven in. Story is also getting on base at a torrid pace. His .410 on-base percentage is tied for fourth in the league. Rounding out the California League infielders are Diego Goris of the Lake Elsinore Storm and Brandon Drury of the Visalia Rawhide. Goris is the league's leading hitter, with a .341 average this season. He has also slugged 10 homers and knocked in 35. Goris' 74 hits are tied for third in the league. Drury owns a .278 batting average and has homered 13 times while driving home 46. He is third in the league in homers and second in the league in doubles with 20.
Bruce Maxwell of the Stockton Ports and Roberto Pena of the Lancaster JetHawks will handle the catching duties for the California League. Maxwell is hitting .282 with four homers and 19 RBIs. Behind the dish, he has a .986 fielding percentage in 48 games. Maxwell has caught 423.2 frames for Stockton, a majority of the team's total innings. He has also gunned down nearly 43 percent of would-be base stealers. Opponents are just 36-for-63 when attempting to steal on him. Pena has also been a workhorse behind the plate. In 42 games, he has caught 374.2 innings while throwing out 27 of 47 attempted base stealers, an astounding 57 percent. He owns a nearly-perfect .997 fielding percentage. Pena is batting .242 with four homers and 23 RBIs for the JetHawks.
The California League All-Star Team's five-man outfield is headlined by Hunter Renfroe of the Lake Elsinore Storm. The right-handed hitter was selected No. 13 overall in the 2013 Draft by the San Diego Padres. Renfroe slugged his way onto the team by belting a league-leading 15 home runs. His 48 RBIs are third in the league and he is tops in the circuit with 133 total bases. Renfroe is hitting .286 and getting on base at a .358 clip. The Lancaster JetHawks' Teoscar Hernandez joins Renfroe in the outfield and is hitting .291 with 10 homers and 46 RBIs so far. His 46 RBIs and 16 thefts are both tied for fourth in the league. Hernandez is also tied for fifth with 30 extra-base hits.
The California League's third outfielder is Gabriel Guerrero of the High Desert Mavericks. Guerrero, the nephew of former American League All-Star and MVP Vladimir Guerrero, is hitting .322 this year. That's good for eighth in the league. Guerrero has hit seven long balls and driven in 41 for the Mavericks. Rounding out the California League's outfielders are Kyle Waldrop and Jesse Winker of the Bakersfield Blaze. Waldrop is batting .335 with four homers and 26 RBIs and Winker is hitting .318 with nine homers and 39 driven in. Waldrop's .335 average is third in the California League while his 73 hits are also tied for sixth. Winker is third in on-base percentage at .414.
Former big-leaguer Denny Hocking will manage the California League. Hocking, who currently skippers the Inland Empire 66ers, had a 13-year big league career and hit .251 with 25 homers and 226 RBIs in 954 career games with the Minnesota Twins, Colorado Rockies and Kansas City Royals. He is in his first season at the helm of the 66ers. Inland Empire pitching coach Matt Wise, hitting coach Brent Del Chiaro and trainer Omar Uribe will round out the California League staff. Wise is in his first season with the 66ers while Del Chiaro and Uribe are in their second.

Good day,
I have CMS with SEO friendly URL rewrite enabled that generates URLs lets say www.domain.com/urllevel1/urllevel2
And I have created sub-domain lets say sub1.domain.com
Now, I want some of these generated URLs (example www.domain.com/urllevel1/...etc) to be browsed as sub1.domain.com/urllevel1/...etc
Any idea?
Best regards,Ahmed.
Sure! Since a subdomain is normally "pointed" at a subdirectory of the domain, it's safe to simply use mod_rewrite in the domain's .htaccess to check for the existance of the urllevel1 directory then redirect to HTTP://SUB1.domain.com (with the remainder of the original URI after urllevel1/ has been removed).
Thank DK for the prompt response! what you have said is exactly what I'm looking for...
Currently, in my domain root .htaccess I have the follow rules to enable the SEO URLs
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
What do I need to add here in order to achieve my theory?
Thanks in advance,A
Hi tata2,
No problem, mate!
Comments on your code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
[standard rant #4][indent]The definition of insanity is to repeatedly do the same thing expecting
a different result. Asking Apache to confirm the existence of ANY module with an
<IfModule> ... </IfModule> wrapper is the same thing in the webmaster world.
DON'T ACT INSANE! If you don't know whether a module is enabled, run the
test ONCE (without the wrapper) then delete it permanently as it is EXTREMELY
wasteful of Apache's resources (and should NEVER be allowed on a shared
server).[/indent][/standard rant #4]
Uh, simply test once to see whether your mod_rewrite is enabled then delete the <IfModule> and </IfModule> wrapper code.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
Remove this as it's just plain not needed (and can confuse you if you have a mod_alias redirection).
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} /index.html !-f
Don't forget the space after the variable you're testing against - then remove the leading /
for Apache 2.x servers (and escape the dot character in the regex).
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} /index.php !-f
Ditto the above.
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
What about the domain-only request? You've required a single character (the / doesn't count)
so you've got to rely on the DirectoryIndex to request index.php. Use a ? after the dot (optional character) so the regex will ALWAYS be true and the redirection will take effect.
As above.
Is this what your new CMS requires? If so, IMMEDIATELY after the RewriteEngine on ...
# in domain.com's Document Root (so sub1.domain.com can't access it)
# redirect to HTTP://SUB1.domain.com (with the remainder of the original URI after urllevel1/ has been removed)
RewriteRule ^subdir1/(.*)$ http://sub1.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# Here, you DO want to capture the entire URI [i]after[/i] the subdir so (.*)
will do that for you and the domain change will prevent looping.
Thanks dklynn!
RewriteRule ^subdir1/(.*)$ http://sub1.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
did the trick and redirected my virtual pages to the sub-domain.
However, it gave me 500 error everytime I browse any of the links or endless loop
For better understanding on what's going go
Please login to the test environment located here www.artinglow.net
Username: guestPassword: guest123
Click on "Section" this should take you to www.artinglow.net/section/ but after applying the rewrite rule as follows:
RewriteRule ^section/(.*)$ http://section.artinglow.net/$1 [R=301,L]
It will show you http://section.artlinglow.net
and the same should go for "Sub-section"...
Now, to bring the actual pages up..and remove these errors..
Best regards,A
Hi tt2!
Glad to hear that it's working for you ... but the question you've asked makes me wonder:
[indent]This should NOT have happened as we've only stripped the subdir1/ from the path/to/file (where path = ^subdir1).
Asking for subdir1 (from domain), the server should serve the specified DirectoryIndex so, have you set the DirectoryIndex in the subdir1 directory? Remember, if not, the server's default (index.html?) will be served (or the ErrorDocument if you're not using index.html).
Even if you're using absolute links (to the domain/subdir1/path/to/file), the path/to/file within the subdir1 should be the redirection (within the subdomain).
Therefore, please show ALL your .htaccess as there must be something else going on.[/indent]
WARNING: placing a username and password in a public forum is NOT advisable!!! I recommend that you close this account ASAP!

Crist to sign global warming pact with Britain --like Ah-nold
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist plans to sign an agreement Friday with the government of England to work together on combating global warming, according to a spokeswoman for the British Consulate. A similar agreement was signed a year ago by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
British officials took pains to point out that they weren't trying to go behind the White House's back in signing pacts with various states.
"We're not trying to go above the U.S. government by any means – it's just a partnership," said Annette Hugues, a spokeswoman for the British Consulate in Miami
But last year, when Schwarzenegger signed a pact with then-Prime Minister Tony Blair, the California governor contended that states had to forge their own global warming agreements because the White House and Congress had been dragging their feet.
"California will not wait for our federal government to take strong action on global warming," Schwarzenegger said at the time.
Florida officials would not talk about the agreement before the signing. "We'll be prepared to talk about it tomorrow," said Crist spokeswoman Erin Isaac.
"There is no question the world is looking to the larger states like
In addition to hosting the two-day summit in Miami, Crist is slated to sign three executive orders that mandate sweeping changes in Florida's energy policy, including cutting greenhouse gas emissions from utilities and revamping the building code to require greater energy efficiency.

text: Politics 11 December 1998 Please trust the workers, Mr Dobson The new mental health policies rely too much on dirigiste managers, argues Andrew Cooper By Andrew Cooper Sign up for our weekly email * There is a seeming contradiction at the heart of Frank Dobson's Commons statement to launch the government's new mental health strategy, which involves more beds, better access to new drugs, more and better-trained staff, and helplines. He says, in effect, that a few have spoiled it for the many - that the small minority of mentally ill people who are "a nuisance or a danger to themselves and others" have proved beyond the capabilities of the community care system, and so the whole edifice must be rebuilt. The fear was that concerns about risk and community safety - suicides and homicides - rather than care for the mentally ill themselves would drive the new policy. Most of what Dobson said in a rounded and compassionate speech confounded that fear. This one comment went against the grain. Why the contradiction? The answer lies in an understanding of both the particularities of mental health policy and practice, and this government's approach to social policy in general. In a recent New Statesman essay David Marquand brilliantly captured the unresolved tension between its centralising, dirigiste head and its devolutionary, pluralist heart - a tension that threatens the coherence of the whole new Labour project. This week's white paper on modernising social services is definitely in the first mould, a political triumph for managerialism: higher standards and more standardisation; national objectives for social care agencies; more inspectors and more monitors to ensure better "safeguards". There are no people to be found here, no sense that compassion or anger has prompted the proposed changes. We get an instructional, headmasterly tone in which the main message is "must do better". In the wake of so many revelations of poor and abusive practice, we cannot argue with this. But it is not enough. Recently, a colleague described his experience of running a course for managers in community mental health work. Over ten weeks, not one of them initiated discussion of a patient. Their preoccupations were with organisational stresses, conflicts with other professionals, their own isolation. These staff show the same difficulty in getting to know patients and their families as the basis for what mental health "management" might mean, as the policy-makers do in working out what good policies might look like. What both need to address is the extreme emotional difficulty of working with mentally ill people. Dobson hinted at it this week when he said: "Mental illness is extremely disturbing to sufferers and their families. It can leave people without insight into the consequences of their actions. That is very frightening." Actual suicide or violence apart, there may be continual gnawing worry about the possibility of it, a perpetual struggle with chronically withdrawn or inexplicably hostile patients. Good treatment and care lead to some seriously mentally ill people improving and managing better much of the time. But many remain disturbed and disturbing for long periods. The psychiatrist and psychoanalyst John Rickman once said: "Mental illness consists in not being able to find anyone who can stand to be with you." Yet we ask carers and professionals to tolerate sufferers through months and years. Small wonder they sometimes "fail", over-look simple gestures like talking with patients properly, and miss the vital clues to impending disaster. When community care became official policy, it was linked to the closure of the old Victorian "bins", and few mourned their passing. With hindsight, we can see that this entailed an idealised vision of community as a warm and welcoming place that would receive the afflicted with concern. But for the mentally ill and those caring for them, the community often proved to be alienated, fearful and hostile. Without the bricks and mortar of the hospital, professional networks became more complex to manage and sustain, and although we continued to use psychiatric institutions as a last resort, we had denigrated the value which resides in the original meaning of "asylum", a place of safety. Suddenly there was no hiding-place, no protection for sufferers or mental health workers. The disasters began, the media pounced, public and political anxiety mounted, and so "risk", safety and control became the watchwords. A new and poorly trained workforce emerged to support care in the community. Good training must include the development of capacities to both withstand, and understand, the intense emotional forces involved in the work. But even highly trained and experienced professionals now feel that "safety first" is their main motto. Not the patient's or the community's safety, but their own: they fear the stigma of blame for a professional failure. New Labour's social policy is the same as the Tories' in one important respect. Behind the rhetoric about driving up standards, setting targets, monitoring and inspecting, there is a fundamental mistrust of the workforce. The message is not "we know you have an impossibly difficult and contradictory job, and we want to help you all we can, even if we occasionally have to weed out the odd miscreant", but something more like "prove yourselves, or we will slam you". Good outcomes in welfare work can only be achieved by creating conditions for staff in which confidence breeds confidence. Policy-making, like good management, should be neither "top down" nor "bottom up", neither dirigisme nor pluralism. It should be a dialogue between the policy-makers and those who know the terrain first hand, genuinely adaptive and responsive to local knowledge and conditions. It's about trust. Trust the workers Mr Dobson, trust the people.

There has been some movement. That's all I know. :)

Our current theory is that they will film it during (Australia's) winter (June-August) for a spring Airing (September-November); basically it will follow a production cycle like what TARUS 23 would do
Who knows they could even pool their resources and do a similar route to each other (I heard that somthing like that could of happen between TARUS and TARI a couple of years ago)

Rugby league has long been the working class game but there are concerns the NRL has made it unaffordable for the common fan after increasing grand final prices by almost 10 per cent since last year.
Diamond tickets have increased by $35, and the best family tickets have jumped $60 in just a year. In fairness, the cheapest family package has dropped $25.
League officials were heavily criticised for increasing prices of the State of Origin series by more than 120 per cent since 2011, resulting in about 10,000 tickets still being available a week before the dead rubber at Suncorp Stadium.
When the NRL announced the release of grand final tickets last weekend, a press release trumpeted a "price freeze on family, silver and bronze tickets".
It revealed silver and bronze family tickets will be reduced by $5 and that nearly 10,000 seats would be priced below $100. What wasn't mentioned is that more than 70,000 tickets will be higher than that mark and that many categories have increased significantly.
"Those 10,000 cheaper tickets are exactly where no one wants to sit. Who wants to sit up in the upper part of ANZ Stadium, where the crossbar is blocking out half your view?" said Alex Levenson, the Asia Pacific head of global online secondary ticketing company viagogo.
"We get that it's their premier event and the one everyone wants to go to, so they try to get that yield up as much as possible. The concern is that, like State of Origin, they may be overpricing it.
"They are saying this is the most popular event and we'll try to get as much money out of our fans as possible."
Should, say, South Sydney make it to the grand final, fans will be prepared to pay any price in order to witness history. But if the Warriors or two interstate teams make the decider, Levenson predicts fans will try to offload tickets at a loss on the secondary market.
Melbournians haven't been shy in picking up tickets for next year's Origin at the MCG. More than 10,000 were snapped up in the opening 24 hours on sale.
When Benji Marshall takes on Wests Tigers for the first time on Sunday, it will be exactly 11 years to the day since he made his NRL debut for the joint venture club.
The younger sister of Parramatta halfback Luke Kelly is also making a name for herself in the sporting world. Stevie Kelly is representing Australia in wrestling in the Commonwealth Games at Glasgow.
Tim Sheens wasn't the only prominent Wests Tiger snubbed at the recent 15-year celebrations. Long-serving chairman John Chalk, former administrator Jim Marsden, former chairman David Trodden, former chief executive Stephen Humphreys and a raft of former players also didn't get an invitation from the club.
Melbourne are extremely pleased with their mid-season purchase Marika Koriobete. The former Wests Tigers speedster was clocked at top speed of a 37.3km/h via GPS during last weekend's match. Not bad considering sprinters are clocked only slightly faster - and don't have to carry a football.
He's the sprint coach to the stars, having worked with the likes of Jarryd Hayne, Sonny Bill Williams and Michael Jennings. But now Roger Fabri has been selected for an altogether different challenge - finding the world's fastest Indian.
Born out of a desire to create India's first Olympic athletic medallist, Fabri's Speed Agility Academy has been engaged to turn the dream into a reality.
In what is looming as the world's largest athletic hunt - across 800 Indian districts - Fabri will work with the pick of the country's 12 to 14-year-old runners to develop the best medal prospects.
"The athletes will move to Australia to be coached by me and funded by a company called Spoment," Fabri said.
"If it works they will do a similar format in rugby. It's an honour to be chosen from all the performance centres from around the world."
Wests Tigers are on the market for a bargain-buy three-quarter. One of the options is believed to be Warriors utility Dominique Peyroux.
Referees are often subjected to abhorrent behaviour but we reckon this is a first. The Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League suspended a player for 15 years for he attacked a match official with a witch's hat.
It's the end of an era at the ABC, with David Morrow to join his great mate Warren Ryan in retirement at the end of the season.
After a two-month investigation into his role in an on-air incident, Morrow was finally permitted to return to the airwaves. Aunty executives are already on the lookout for replacements. A few callers struggling to get regular air time at their current employers are among those sending in their resumes.
Krisnan Inu has played his last game for Canterbury. The enigmatic three-quarter is on a plane to France on Monday to begin his rugby career. Inu was considered by some good judges as a better talent than Jarryd Hayne when the two players came through Westfields Sports High, but hasn't quite realised his potential. The former New Zealand international is hoping a change of scene - and code - will reignite his career.

By R.K.Regmee
The stock market demonstrated its sensitivity to contemporary crisis facing Nepali economy in a remarkable fall and rise in the past week. It
climbed down sharply for the first three days from 372.00 points to 358.04 as top entrepreneurs prepared to hand over their industry-key to Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal in protest against the stoppage launched by dissatisfied factions for opposing the three Trade Unions- management deal.
Finance Secretary Rameshwar Khanal's abrupt resignation and the heated debate it generated in politics and civil service also motivated the NEPSE decline, say analysts. Finance Minister Bharat Mohan Adhikari is under pressure to explain convincingly the sudden exit of a highly experienced top civil servant known for his strict move against VAT-evading trends. The event has its own impact on the mindset of opposition politicians, ruling parties and investors.
A contrasting phenomenon emerged later in the week. As news of materializing the Central Depository System in Nepal Stock Exchange got
disseminated through mass media, the secondary market began to show positive indicators with hope that it would be instrumental in making the
share business professionally efficient and smart in operation. The Index went up by 359.11 points on the fourth day improving further to 365.25 points on Thursday the last trading day of the week.
The System, a much-awaited mechanism, holds prospects for bringing about revolutionary change in stock trade in the country. It promises quick transaction and motivates investors to sense the gain in value for their money almost instantly and in visible manner. This strength is considered crucial in stock trade.
Although NEPSE had nothing special to enjoy in its share- transaction-floor which continued to be bearish despite Nepal Rastra Bank's liberal approach to margin lending and home loan provisions, it heard during the period some juicy talks - linked with it closely or remotely. PM Khanal assured the industry business community convincingly while rejecting their keys in a decent note. It could be interpreted as Nepal Government's positive signal for investors.
Another indicator supporting the investors came from top politicos of the country. The ruling party Maoist leader Prachanda, and opposition party Nepali Congress leader Sushil Koirala shared a forum in Kathmandu with the Prime Minister to assure people about completion of peace process and constitution by May 28 for expediting economic development. The process is key to political certainty which is a must for investment in economy and growth of stock market. They qualified their optimism by adding the oft-mentioned phrase "if political parties work out consensus and care to nourish political will."
Former Finance Ministers including Maoist Vice-Chairman Dr. Baburam Bhattarai also joined the discourse on investment to highlight the role of private sector entrepreneurs in Nepali economy. Dr. Bhattarai made it clear that the Maoist party is not against the private sector in Nepali economy. The observation could be taken as highly significant in view of the recent approach taken by the party to replace economic liberalization with mixed economy in the context of amending an Act.
Dr. Ram Sharan Mahat of Nepali Congress and Dr. Prakash Chandra Lohani of Janashakti Party reiterated their emphasis on private sector and
investment friendly atmosphere and said that any move against economic liberalization would not be acceptable.
If the assurance and talks on investment, mentioned above, get translated into action Nepal's investment sector might feel vibrant. The CDS to be operated in the secondary market would be instrumental in building on that resulting in the ultimate growth of NEPSE.
Weekly phenomenon
NEPSE floor witnessed one gainer - Hydro power - in the past week when the sub-sector recorded 13.40 points rise. The rest like hotels, manufacturing and processing companies, commercial banks, development banks and others had a disappointing fall during the period. The turnover went up to Rs.173.31 million through business of 662,776 shares in the week.

Democrats Devitalize No
Child Left Behind Revisions
Nearly everyone agrees that No Child Left Behind (NCLB) needs to be revised, and both Republican and Democrat lawmakers are scrambling to rework the faulty legislation. If proposed Democratic changes to an in-progress Republican update bill are approved, the resulting mash up could result in a version of NCLB that modifies the policy without actually improving it.
H.R. 3989, the Student Success Act (SSA), would rewrite Title I of NCLB. Representative John Kline (R-MN), chairman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, introduced the bill in January in an attempt "to shrink federal intrusion in the classrooms and return responsibility for student success to states and school districts." If passed, the SSA would:
- Restore state authority for establishing performance ratings
- Eliminate "adequate yearly progress"; states must develop their own accountability systems
- Eliminate federal intervention into science assessments
- Streamline parents' access to information about school performance
- Eliminate the "Highly Qualified Teacher" mandate
- Empower states to design school improvement strategies
- End the School Improvement Grant program, thus limiting federal intervention into underperforming schools
- Provide more funding flexibility
Heritage Foundation Education Policy Analyst Lindsey Burke called the SSA "a good first step in replacing the wrongly directed accountability of No Child Left Behind with transparency about school results to parents and taxpayers."
Congressman George Miller (D-CA), ranking Democratic member of the House Education and Workforce Committee, called the proposed bill "radical" and "highly partisan" and complained that it would "turn the clock back decades on equity and accountability." Several dozen advocacy groups for minority, special education, and disabled students agreed. 41 such groups signed a February 16 letter to Rep. Kline from the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights which stated that "The bill would thrust us back to an earlier time when states could choose to ignore disparities between children of color, low-income students, ELLs, and students with disabilities."
Congressman Miller proposed a Democratic amendment to the SSA which has a number of problematic provisions. Miller's amendment would, for instance,
- Require "all" students to reach college and career readiness
- Measure student improvement and graduation rates along with the already required proficiency rates
- Potentially subject many more schools to federal interventions
- Closely regulate the way state accountability systems include disabled students
- Require states to translate examinations for every language group of 10,000 students or more, placing a huge financial burden on some of the larger states
- Require that states and districts redistribute "effective" teachers from middle-class to poor schools
These and other proposed Democratic revisions significantly weaken the SSA's attempts to reestablish state authority and result in a new version of NCLB that would have very few advantages over the current program.

Kristen Bell Will Be The Lifeguard
She's swimming into a new film
Kristen Bell has been busy recently, working on all sorts of movies, including Some Girl(s), Writers, the Farrelly brothers' big anthology comedy and Hit And Run, written and co-directed by fiancé Dax Shepard. She's adding one more to the list, taking on The Lifeguard for director Liz W. Garcia.
The writer / producer, who has worked on shows such as Dawson's Creek and Cold Case, is making the leap to film directing with this tale of Leigh (Bell), a 29 year-old reporter who ditches her life in New York to head back to her home town where she starts working as a lifeguard, just as she did when she was in high-school.
But that's not the only drastic change in her life: she also starts a relationship with a 16 year-old delinquent. Thirty seems a little early for a mid-life crisis if you ask us, but whatever works...
Mamie Gummer, Martin Starr, Alex Shaffer, Joshua Harto and Amy Madigan are also among the cast and Garcia starts shooting this month in Pittsburgh.

Norris, Donald Kring (1953) Structural conditions and violent stress relief in coal mines of the southern Canadian cordillera. Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechETD:etd-05082003-101319
The problem was investigated under the auspices of the Geological Survey of Canada in an attempt to evaluate the relation of geologic structure to the mining practices which gives rise to occurrences of violent relief of stress. An understanding of this problem is imperative to the winning of coal at depth.
The faulted and drag-folded condition of the seams in the Crowsnest and Cascade coal areas may be interpreted by the mechanics of shear-thrusting. Gentle flexing of the overthrust masses was effected through similar folding for the combined series of competent and incompetent units.
Alternate stretching and compression of the Kootenay formation at Coleman and Canmore resulted in the development of an abundance of extension and contraction faults transecting the seams, and a sheared condition within the coal. Frictional resistance tended to retard those beds in the overriding masses closest to the thrust planes so that in every instance the upper beds moved slightly further to the east relative to those below them. Consistent dragfold patterns within the coal seams were the result.
The fractured and sheared condition of the coal is all important in governing the stress relief characteristics of the seams. Bump phenomena occur only in structurally strong coals, whereas blowouts have been experienced where the seams are both sheared and unsheared. In contrast to violent bumps which show a definite increase in frequency with depth, beginning at a cover interval of about 500 feet, blowouts first occur at about the same depth, but after reaching a maximum frequency between 700 and 1100 feet, show a marked decrease at progressively greater cover intervals to the point where no blowouts are recorded in the 1 East mine, Coal Creek, at 2000 feet.
Whereas a bump condition is created by faulty mining practices which result in the failure of overstressed coal in abutment zones, a blowout condition is believed to be due in part to redistribution of stresses associated with the advance of the working face, and in part to the physical-chemical relation of the coal to the associated gases. Secular strain is not believed to be a primary factor in the genesis of violent stress relief phenomena.
