Guidelines for the Fellowships grant program are now available. The deadline for applications is May 1, 2013, for projects beginning in or after January 2014. Applicants will be notified of the decision in December 2013.
Fellowships support continuous full-time work for a period of six to twelve months, and are awarded to individuals pursuing advanced research that is of value to humanities scholars, general audiences, or both. Recipients usually produce articles, monographs, books, digital materials, archaeological site reports, translations, editions, or other scholarly resources in the humanities. Projects may be at any stage of development.
As always, all applicants must submit their proposals at Grants.gov, the central federal government portal for all grant applications. NEH suggests that you submit your application as early as possible, but not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the day of the deadline. Doing so will leave you time to contact the Grants.gov help desk for support, should you encounter a technical problem of some kind. We strongly recommend that you complete or verify your registration with Grants.gov at least two weeks before the application deadline, as it takes time for your registration to be processed.
Please read the application early and carefully. Samples of successful applications are available for your reference on the grant page.

There is an excellent post on quickly building native installers for Adobe AIR. Native installers are required if you are building AIR applications, which takes advantage of the extensibility options available from the native process API. The advantage is, you can start distributing your AIR-based desktop applications as native installers.
If you are using Adobe Flash Builder Burrito, you can build native AIR installers quicker than the steps mentioned in other blogs/sites.
- Click Project > Export Release Build…
- Select 'Export and sign a native installer' and click Next.
- Provide a path to your PKCS12 certificate or create a new certificate from the interface.
That is all to it! Depending on your platform, you'll see a native installer for your AIR application.
Isn't this faster?

Hello friends, how was your weekend?
It was a very warm spring weekend here in Sydney, and we got the first real taste of summer. I did some gardening on my little balcony - the herbs are growing fast and now there are even a few tiny tomatoes popping up! It'll be some time yet until they are ripe enough to eat, but I am so excited to see them grow.
Sunday was such a warm day that I felt like cooking us something light. These tasty eggplant and lentil stacks are a perfect vegetarian meal, and certainly perfect to feed my latest eggplant addiction. You could use beluga lentils too, but I had some green lentils waiting to be used, so I cooked them up instead. Goat cheese would be a great alternative to feta, but you can leave the cheese out if you like.
Eggplant and lentil stacks
(recipe adapted from taste.com.au)
200g lentils
1 large eggplant, cut into slices
2 shallot greens, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
100g feta cheese
pinch of sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
rocket leaves, for serving
1. Rinse the lentils and place in a saucepan with plenty of fresh water. Bring to boil, then let simmer until just tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Brush the eggplant slices on both sides with olive oil. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the slices for a few minutes on each side.
3. Mix the shallots, and sherry vinegar with the lentils. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. You can add a dash of olive oil in the mix as well.
4. Place an eggplant slice on a serving plate, spoon on some lentils, add another layer of eggplant and lentils and top with a slice of eggplant. Crumble on some feta cheese and scatter the rocket leaves around. Repeat with the second stack. Serve immediately.

HOUSTON - Houston has already experienced some of the hottest weather so far this year. KPRC Local 2's Summer of Safety campaign continues with healthy ways for you and your family to beat the heat.
First, some common medications do not mix with the heat.
Anyone with a lung or heart condition should talk to their doctor before drinking extra water.
According to the American Heart Association, heart drugs like beta-blockers and diuretics can exaggerate the body's response to heat. Migraine medications like Topamax and ulcer medications can do the same.
"Some in particular may include psych medications. Remember that certain antibiotics interact with sunlight," said Dr. Jennifer Caudle.
What you eat can also make a difference. You should snack on watery fruits like watermelon, oranges and grapes. Eat smaller meals, and avoid protein to decrease the heat your body creates to break down food.
Also, try eating spicy food. It may seem counterintuitive, but it stimulates heat receptors in the mouth which enhances circulation causing you to sweat to cool the body down.
As for staying cool, if sitting in the air conditioning is not an option, Caudle says there are simple ways to keep cool.
First, toss your shoes and wear sandals instead.
"25 percent of our sweat glands are actually at our feet so that makes the feet really, really important during times like this," said Caudle.
Throw some damp towels into an ice-filled cooler. Doctors say you can get an instant cool-down by putting the frozen towels over your bare feet.
Drinking water is a must.
"As we stay hydrated, we want to avoid lot of sugary things so lots of sugary drinks lots of fruit juices, they can actually make hydration worse," said Caudle.

How Celebs Celebrate the Big 3-0
Don't dread your thirties; go out with a bang! As everyone says, "30 is the new 20." And we totally agree, except for one thing: 30 is so much better!
Don't dread your thirties; go out with a bang! As everyone says, "30 is the new 20." And we totally agree, except for one thing: 30 is so much better!
You're more accomplished and way wiser than you were at 20, and can also afford to spend a little more on your party outfit.
Some of our favorite celebs did 30 the right way. Some went out with a bang, some spend an intimate evening at home, and others decided to dish the materialistic celebration and give back. Take some tips from this A-listers and say goodbye to 29!
3 parties for one birthday? Seem a bit excessive to us, but Kim K thinks otherwise. Her main bash took place at the infamous Tao in Las Vegas, but her celebrations continued in New York and Canada. And yes, each party had it's own cake – including her infamous $1.65 million dollar diamond encrusted dessert. Ain't no party like a Kardashian party!

For the big 3-0, Kanye took over Lous Vuitton in NYC with some of his A-list friends and a bear-y tasty birthday cake. As if partying in the luxurious fashion house wasn't enough, Kanye wrapped the celebration up with an after party at club Tenjune.
Image via Concrete Loop
Justin Bieber did it for his 18th, and Adam Lambert is doing it for his 30th. Instead of a lavish bash, he asked fans to donate money to a charity that provides people with clean drinking water.

Beyonce's had more than just her birthday to celebrate – the proud Mama had just publicly announced her pregnancy before jet setting to Italy with Jay Z for a romantic dinner date. The icing on the cake? Madam Tussaud's in Washington D.C added a special 30th birthday Beyonce to their collection of Wax Figures.
Image via Daily Mail
Another reason to love Britney? She spent her 30th ice skating in Houston with her Hubby and then cuddling in bed with her two sons. A celeb who has definitely got her priorities right!

It's no secret that Nicole Richie has retired her party girl days - and her 30th celebration was no exception. She gathered some of her family and friends at the Royal suite at the Beverly Wilshire for a classy evening.
Image via LA Times
Here's another reason to fall in love with Ryan Gosling : He celebrated his 30th by going back to his roots and spending the day in Disneyland. For all of you who were out of the loop, Gosling got his start on the Mickey Mouse Club before he was a heartthrob.

If Paris Hilton didn't spend her 30th birthday in minimal clothing, we would have been surely disappointed. Her twenties-inspired party was just as extravagant as the gift her hubby got her – a bright yellow Lexus priced at $375,000.
Image via EzineMark
Basketball star Dwayne Wade's 30th celebration was a bash to remember. Besides being at a lavish hotel in south beach in a room full of close friends and some of R&B's top artists, Wade was showered with a number of expensive gifts including a new car and a ridiculously expensive bottle of booze.
Image via Huffington Post
Pitbull aka "Mr. Worldwide" celebrated his big day at Club Play in South Beach, which makes perfect sense since the rapper also holds the key to the city. He may be Mr. Worldwide, but his world of immediate friends and family is all he needs for an all-star celebration.

I have a table containing project assignments represented by a projectid column and a user_assignment column which contains the user's unique userid. A user is assigned to a project if they have a record in the user assignment table associated with the project id. I want retrieve all the projects that a specific user is NOT assigned to without getting duplicate records since there are many users assigned to projects.
While these examples will retrieve only one record per project (i.e., no duplicates), it returns projects that user 'abc123' is and is NOT assigned to. I need to retrieve the projects that they are NOT assigned to.
SELECT DISTINCT `propid` FROM `user_assignments` WHERE `userid` <> 'abc123' ORDER BY `propid` ASC
SELECT DISTINCT `propid` FROM `user_assignments` WHERE (`userid` <> 'abc123') ORDER BY `propid` ASC
I am sure there is a very simple solution but I am not seeing it.
The user assignment table:
this is not going to be efficient because it has to examine all rows of the table
SELECT propid
FROM user_assignments
BY propid
HAVING COUNT(CASE WHEN userid = 'abc123'
THEN 'nope'
Yes I found that out. It takes a long time to execute that query.
it'll go a lot faster if there's a composite index on propid,userid
those two should actually be the primary key, instead of an auto_increment, but since you're using an auto_increment, then declare them as a UNIQUE index
I haven't played in the world of SQL for awhile, but might a 'not in' work better here assuming working on indexed fields and a relatively reasonable workload for a single user.
distinct propid
propid not in (
select distinct propid from user_assignments where userid = 'foo'
sadly, it might not
on the other hand, it might work as good as
unlikely it would be gooder

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The success of immigration reform this year could be determined by the actions of grower, business and labor advocates as much as lawmakers and President Obama, Robert Guenther believes.
Guenther, senior vice president of public policy for the United Fresh Produce Association, Washington, D.C., said the immigration issue has the most energy and momentum as any time since 2006.
But the fate of the issue may be settled by how greedy immigration reform advocates become, he said.
"Part of this is going to be how interested stakeholders on all sides of this very complicated issue — agriculture, the broader business community, unions, farm worker advocates — are these people going to start overreaching?" Guenther said Feb. 20.
Guenther said that while there is bipartisan support for reform in the House and Senate, a comprehensive immigration deal isn't a slam dunk.
Immigration reform was supported by President Bush in 2006, along with both Democratic and Republican members of Congress, Guenther said. However, posturing and overreaching by opposing factions of the debate led to the breakdown in the process.
Beyond bipartisan plans being negotiated in the Senate and House, the White House was circulating a draft immigration bill that includes a provision for a visa for illegal immigrants and would allow them to become legal permanent residents in eight years, according to an article in USA Today.
The White House plan didn't mention a reformed guest worker program, said Frank Gasperini, executive vice president for Vienna, Va.-based National Council of Agricultural Employer.
"It's troubling," he said. "We have to have a flow of foreign workers."
Gasperini said immigration reform is overshadowed by budget issues. The gun control debate could also curb progress on immigration reform, he said.
"The potential (for immigration reform) is still certainly there, but it still really needs to happen in 2013 or we are probably beat down until 2015," Gasperini said.

Support Good Shepherd Sisters' Work with Girls and Women in Lebanon
Tuesday, October 8, 2013
Project Code: 326-05-39
Ever since 1981, the Good Shepherd Sisters in Sehaile have been caring for girls from broken homes in Lebanon. At present, some 50 girls and young women, aged between six and 18 years, are being helped and cared for in the home they run. Many of these young women are victims of physical, psychological and sexual abuse. Not a few of them have grown up on the streets and have already had experience of crime and drug abuse. Some have parents who are themselves addicts or alcoholics, while others are single mothers who have been abandoned by the father of their child and have seen no other way of surviving except through prostitution. There is no industry in this region and very little chance of employment. Many of the families here are already refugees, having fled here from other countries where they faced an even bleaker future. Many are refugees from Syria, Africa, Iraq or other parts of the world. But their families have been unable to find security or good jobs here in Lebanon and have consequently been unable to establish the new life that they had hoped for.The Sisters care for each one of these girls individually. It requires a great deal of time and devotion to engage with all their individual problems and needs. The difficulties range from problems in school to various kinds of trauma and social problems. Many of these young women have never experienced an orderly family life. The girls need a stable home, where they can experience a sense of security and emotional support and find someone who will listen to them. They need help to cope with their schooling or vocational training, and many also need psychological counseling.The Sisters already have their work cut out dealing with these various duties, yet at the same time they still have to support themselves. We want to help them with their basic living needs, so that they can devote themselves to caring for their charges. We have promised them financial support of $8,500. Will you give to support these Good Shepherd Sisters in Lebanon in their work with girls and women in need? Aid to the Church in Need commits to invest your funds where they will have the greatest impact for the Church that we serve. Funds donated to Aid to the Church in Need's projects will be used towards the greatest need in our programs to help keep the Faith alive.

Have a stored some json data for locations in local storage as I dont want to load the list every time. The data looks like this.
If I have the users latitude & longitude how would I go about getting the ID of record with closest latitude & longitude values?
Do I need to loop through them all comparing how different each one is and store the ID of the one that is 'Least' different? Or is there a function that could perform a search of this type?
I really dont know where to start with this so any pointers would be appreciated.
{"Locations":{"Location":[{"id":"3066","latitude":"57.6494","longitude":"-3.5606","name":"Kinloss"},{"id":"3080","latitude":"57.077","longitude":"-2.836","name":"Aboyne"},{"id":"3091","latitude":"57.206","longitude":"-2.202","name":"Aberdeen Dyce"},{"id":"3134","latitude":"55.907","longitude":"-4.533","name":"Glasgow/Bishopton"},{"id":"3136","latitude":"55.515","longitude":"-4.585","name":"Prestwick Rnas"},{"id":"3144","latitude":"56.326","longitude":"-3.729","name":"Strathallan"},
Some simple vector math where you get the hypotenuse (with the vectorDistance function), can result in a solution for this.
function closestLocation(targetLocation, locationData) {
function vectorDistance(dx, dy) {
return Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy);
function locationDistance(location1, location2) {
var dx = location1.latitude - location2.latitude,
dy = location1.longitude - location2.longitude;
return vectorDistance(dx, dy);
return locationData.reduce(function(prev, curr) {
var prevDistance = locationDistance(targetLocation , prev),
currDistance = locationDistance(targetLocation , curr);
return (prevDistance < currDistance) ? prev : curr;
var data = {
"Locations": {
"Location": [
"id": "3066",
"latitude": "57.6494",
"longitude": "-3.5606",
"name": "Kinloss"},
"id": "3080",
"latitude": "57.077",
"longitude": "-2.836",
"name": "Aboyne"},
"id": "3091",
"latitude": "57.206",
"longitude": "-2.202",
"name": "Aberdeen Dyce"},
"id": "3134",
"latitude": "55.907",
"longitude": "-4.533",
"name": "Glasgow/Bishopton"},
"id": "3136",
"latitude": "55.515",
"longitude": "-4.585",
"name": "Prestwick Rnas"},
"id": "3144",
"latitude": "56.326",
"longitude": "-3.729",
"name": "Strathallan"}
targetLocation = {
latitude: 56,
longitude: -5
closest = closestLocation(targetLocation, data.Locations.Location);
// closest is now the location that is closest to the target location
If you need to support older web browsers that don't know how to do the Array.reduce() method, you can get polyfills from http://www.calormen.com/polyfill/polyfill.js or you can just use the part of that code directly related to providing the reduce functionality itself:
// ES5 184.108.40.206 Array.prototype.reduce ( callbackfn [ , initialValue ] )
// From https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/Reduce
if (!Array.prototype.reduce) {
Array.prototype.reduce = function (fun /*, initialValue */) {
"use strict";
if (this === void 0 || this === null) { throw new TypeError(); }
var t = Object(this);
var len = t.length >>> 0;
if (typeof fun !== "function") { throw new TypeError(); }
// no value to return if no initial value and an empty array
if (len === 0 && arguments.length === 1) { throw new TypeError(); }
var k = 0;
var accumulator;
if (arguments.length >= 2) {
accumulator = arguments[1];
} else {
do {
if (k in t) {
accumulator = t[k++];
// if array contains no values, no initial value to return
if (++k >= len) { throw new TypeError(); }
while (true);
while (k < len) {
if (k in t) {
accumulator = fun.call(undefined, accumulator, t[k], k, t);
return accumulator;
Wow. Thanks Paul. I wasn't expecting such a finished solution!
I hate to be a pain but could you please explain how the reduce function works? I've just been through some definitions where it is used to total up the contents of an array but I can't see how it working here. Is the distance from one location being compared the the next and the location with the shortest distance is kept and this repeated until one remains?
I hope it's ok to ask - I'd like to understand the code if possible!
Sure thing - the reduce function compares the first item with either an initial value or the second value, and whatever the custom function returns is then compared with the next item in the array, until there's only one item left.
Details on how it works are found at https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/Reduce
Ahhhhhh - penny drops it's a way of doing the same function on two things at once and returning one. I think I can follow the process (function by function) now.
Thank you so much. I'll give it a whirl and see how I get on!
You code works perfectly. I have created a page that performs the calculation using lon and lat obtained from the browser using geolocation.
However I have strange issue. The first time the page is loaded and the locations data is loaded directly from the json source the find closest function works perfectly. Giving me the nearest location from the list to where I am.
But from there after when the data is pulled from local storage object the result is incorrect.
At first I thought it was because there must be a limit to how much data can be stored in a single localstorage item. When I use Chromes inspector to see whats been stored - sure enough the last viewable record matches that returned as closest.
However, if I pass the lon and lat as fixed values ( not from geolocation) but still use the locations data from local storage the closest returned location is correct again.
I am baffled.
Is there a limit on local storage items?
This sounds like a situation where investigating a test web page that demonstrates the problem, would be required.

Library History
Judith Rossoff took over as Head of the Audio Visual Department while retaining her responsibilities as the Assistant Director.
Other programs included the Armchair Traveler, After Dinner Books , the Arts Alive Concert series and Story Times. Jean Armour Polly and Patrick Dolan gave a lecture on technology as a tool for family learning. Computer card catalog instruction was offered to seniors.
In March the Friends of the Library sponsored a Charity Art Auction at Loretto's Greenpoint Senior Living Community and raised five hundred dollars for the library.
In April a second silent auction was held. It featured autographed scripts from Mash, Grace Under Fire and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, autographed photos and recordings. Proceeds were used to benefit the library.
In early May three hundred fifty six voters approved the library's $2,823,986 budget while two hundred ninety seven voters said "no." Trustee Marlene Ward won another five year term on the Board. Newcomer Fred Elkins was elected to replace Joseph Ostuni who had chosen not to run.
The library participated in the village wide garage sale and netted over $3200. The Silent Auction brought in over $800.
Film programs for children continued to be held on Saturday mornings and for families on Saturday afternoons. Attendance was beginning to drop as more people owned VCR's.
In lieu of Summerbus! The library offered dozens of programs for children throughout the summer. Offerings included Bicycle Safety Fun, story times at Brueggers, puppet programs, the Music Lady, craft fun and a book fair. Summer Reading programs for kids of all ages was offered in conjunction with the county library system once again.
Under the guidance of Fiction librarian, Rita ben Simon, a Readers Advisory Book Reading club was begun. The group of avid readers---staff members from a variety of departments--- wrote brief plot summaries and commentaries on fiction suitable for adult readers.
At the July 9th meeting the board officers elected for the coming year were Dr. Thomas J. Wells, President, Patricia Mautino, Vice President, and Marlene Ward, Secretary. Larry Dunstone was appointed as Financial Officer once again.
In the fall it was the Arts Alive concert series and a food drive for local pantries, a Drop in for Crafts program, Mother Goose story time, Internet for Seniors, Armchair Traveler and After Dinner Books. There was a workshop on writing resumes and one on preserving photographs.
During the last quarter of the year changes in the organizational structure began with the melding of the Audio Visual Department functions into other departments. Elaine Lyon was named Administrator for Support Services and Technology. She directly supervised Computer Support Services and Collection Development and worked with the Technical Services, Telecommunications and Building & Grounds coordinators. Renee Romance was named Administrator for Public Services. She directly supervised Youth Services, Reference Services, Programs and Public Relations and worked with the Coordinators of Circulation and Special Services. (The original intent was to use the term "Assistant Director of," but this was not approved by civil service because a library the size of Liverpool could only have one Assistant Director. Hence the term "Administrator" was selected to use for the job titles).
In September Cheryl Cornell moved from Computer Services to Technical Services where she continued to process computer software. Judy Sibio and Shirley Titsworth soon joined her as clerks and Leanne Cook joined them as the cataloging librarian.
Judith Rossoff took over as Coordinator of the Technical Services department after Jeanne Biggins left to become the Reference Coordinator. Rita ben Simon became the Computer Lab Manager.
At their September meeting the Board approved the establishment of a new staff award to be known as The Board of Trustees Award for Professional Development. It was an incentive award for continuing education or training. The Board selected Judith Rossoff as the first recipient and awarded her a $500 stipend to be used in professional development.
Merit Awards were presented to Rodney Muench and Barbara Zwolak. Yvette Hewitt received the Performance Award.
In November the sidewalk and steps leading into the library were repaired and a new electrical panel and circuit breakers were installed on the second floor in the Computer Support Services area.
The Board also approved the naming the CD collection in memory of Susan Mills, former head of the Audio Visual Department, who succumbed to multiple myeloma about one year after her retirement.
In December the Audio Visual Circulation Desk was shut down and combined with the Periodicals Circulation Desk. Media Desk became the new name for this multifunctional area.
Once again the library was a collection site for the Toys for Tots program of the Volunteer Center's Christmas Bureau. The Children's Department sponsored a Scholastic Book Fair in the lobby for two days. The Friends of the Library held a stocking stuffer sale of library related items on their gift cart in the lobby throughout the month. Book lapel pins made by Lucinda were especially popular. Proceeds from the sale benefited the library.
And the year ended with the Board learning that Director Fay Ann Golden would be retiring July 31st after 23 years at the library. A search committee was formed.

Item: KTKP0025LH
The late 60's were an amazing and revolutionary time in music, not the least of which was the rebirth of the Strat in the hands of one Mr. Jimi Hendrix. You can't get any closer to getting that Hendrix-era Strat tone than this Klein1969 Hendrix Strat Pickup set.To add to the authenticity of Hendrix tone, we've had Klein make this set left-handed, exactly duplicating, in a right handed guitar, the stagger on the pole pieces that many believe contributed to his unique sound when stringing right-handed Strats left-handed.This '69 set has Alnico 5 magnets, uses the more expensive 42ga Plain Enamel magnet wire, has all South up polarity, and is not calibrated to cancel hum, keeping them original. The Klein 1969 Strat pickup set recreates the woodstock tone with just enough crunch and drive for your amp. Scatter wound like the originals and wax potted to avoid unwanted microphonics.

if $prevdate then give trueif $nextdate then give true
emm now u understand?:)
No. You're not explaining anything, to be honest.
ehhhhh i have gallery but i don't have code for +1 id and -1 id
Previous- IMAGE +Next(Previous button give id to go on older image, Next button give id to go on newer image)
now ?
not quite
previous and next make sense only in the context of (1) you're looking at a specific image, and (2) you have a rule which determines sequence
you've already covered (2) in your first post -- by date
now all you have to do is explain (1) -- how you decide which image
get id for next or previous row
next or previous, or next and previous?
and "next" or "previous" relative to which id?
That's what I asked before too.
What is your starting point? When you say next and previous, lower and newer, you have to say what your starting point is.
A date given by the user? The current date?
yes current date given by user.
why do you need the user to tell you the current date?
there's a function for that

NATHAN Walker insists he is ready to lead Dorchester Town into next season, but knows that the man he succeeded as club captain is going to be a hard act to follow.
Following his appointment by boss Phil Simkin, the central defender has described taking over the captaincy from Mark Jermyn as a "massive honour".
However, Walker realises he has a lot to live up to after taking on the skipper's armband from a Magpies' legend.
"Phil made contact with me after Mark left and said he would like me to be the captain for next season," said Walker.
"I wasn't going to turn down the chance of being my club's captain and it's a massive honour to do so.
"It was nice to know that Phil wanted me and now I've got to show I'm worthy of being our captain.
"It's going to be a hard job following on from Mark because he is a club legend, but hopefully I can step up to the plate and lead the team as well as he did.
"Mark is a friend of mine and he was a fantastic captain, player and servant to Dorchester over the years.
"It's sad to see him go because he had a lot of success as captain, like the FA Cup win against Plymouth and leading the team to its highest points tally in Conference South."
Walker's top priority is to return to Conference South football as soon as possible, though he recognises that won't be easy.
He added: "I want to get Dorchester back there and, as captain, that would be a great achievement.
"But I played in the Southern Premier League for part of last season and there are some very good sides in there.
"It's a hard league to get out of, as Weymouth found out, and it's going to be a right battle when we play them and Poole.
"If we can go back up it would be brilliant, but it's going to be hard."
The 27-year-old, a captain for Simkin in his younger days at Hamworthy United, is well known for his physical approach to the game.
At times he has been known to let his over-exuberance get the better of him, and that is something he is going to try and rein in as captain.
"I know some supporters think I'm a bit hot-headed," he said. "I've lost my cool a couple of times but I know I can't afford to do that now as captain.
"I've got to take a step back and be there for my team-mates.

SWINDON Town are expected to tie up a season-long loan deal for Jordan Turnbull today after Brad Smith became the Robins' third summer signing yesterday evening.
Turnbull, the Southampton defender who played in two pre-season friendlies for Town on 'work experience', was allowed to be involved in the Robins' team photo on Tuesday and will add weight to centre of defence, which currently boasts only Raphael Branco and Josh Lelan amongst its ranks.
It was originally believed that Turnbull would be announced as a Swindon player on Thursday, manager Mark Cooper telling the local press that he hoped two new faces would be tied up "by close of play" yesterday.
In the end, however, only Smith was confirmed by Town, on a youth loan, though there is no reason to believe that a deal for Turnbull has hit a snag and the teenager should be available to feature against Scunthorpe United this weekend.
Smith, highly rated by parent club Liverpool, was one of Cooper's primary transfer targets this summer and will fill the left wing-back slot. He has been allocated the number 11 shirt by Town.
Cooper remains hopeful a third new player can be added before Saturday afternoon.
He and owner Lee Power are waiting on Southampton to grant Jack Stephens permission to move on loan.
Cooper said yesterday: "I think two will definitely be done before Saturday and hopefully one more.
"We've not had as many players as we would like in but I would hope, even before Saturday, that we would get one or two in.
On the long wait for new signings, Cooper said: "It's frustrating but it's just the way it is. It can't be helped. You can see the kind of players we've been going for and they're very well thought of by their clubs. We're at the beck and call of their managers because if they don't want to let them out at a certain time we can't do anything about it.
"We have to be patient because they're the ones we want. We're not going to cry about it and if we have to wait to get the ones that we want, we have to wait."
Nathan Thompson has been handed the full-time captaincy of the club after fulfilling the role for the final dozen games of last season.
Highly-rated academy midfielder Tyreke Johnson has revealed that he has signed for Southampton on a four-year contract.
Johnson is part of a formidable year group in the County Ground's development programme and impressed in the Robins' FA Youth Cup adventure last season.
He tweeted: "Joined Southampton on a 4year deal,would like to thank Swindon for all the opportunities given."

5 Tips to Avoid Epic Failure at Graduation
Well, we've come to that exciting time of year again where students who've put in years of hard work are finally basking in the light at the end of the tunnel as they cross the threshold of completing a major chapter in their lives, and now they feel like they can conquer pretty much anything.
The enthusiasm is contagious and those graduates' families and friends are certainly bursting with pride, but there is one last event to be reckoned with…the graduation ceremony. Yes, the gathering of all the loved ones to honor the accomplishments of the graduating class is one that will forever live in the minds of those in attendance.
However, there are some things that you graduates should keep in mind, lest your graduation turns into an embarrassing moment forever captured on YouTube.To prove my point, I took to the 'Tube and found five examples of epic graduation fails so that you may beware of the potential consequences.
Let's begin, shall we?
Walk with confidence, but watch your step
Secure your attire, and avoid doing cartwheels
Don't be that guy who thinks he can pull off a backflip
Save your dance moves for later
Wear shoes that you can walk in comfortably
Ladies, we all know how heels make you feel sexy, but if you get caught in this scenario, you're going to hate life…
Well, hopefully you learned a thing or two about the potential pitfalls, but if you're the type of person who can go for it, fail, and still shake it off, by all means…go for it! You could be famous!
Do you have any other funny stories or videos from graduation ceremonies? Post them in a comment below!!
Before I end this blog, though, I just want to say congratulations to all the graduates out there, and keep working hard as you set your sights on your next goal! Hopefully you make some awesome memories during your celebration!
Enjoy these moments!

Middle States Commends Ithaca College, Reaffirms Accreditation
Contributed by Carol Henderson on 11/27/13
I am delighted to announce that the Middle States Commission on Higher Education has formally accepted Ithaca College's most recent report, the Periodic Review Report (PRR) we submitted in June 2013. Acting at their November 21st meeting, the Commission also reaffirmed our accreditation, and gave us a commendation for the quality of our PRR process. This is a wonderful achievement, and a major step in maintaining a positive ongoing relationship with Middle States, our regional accrediting agency.
The Periodic Review Report documented our performance over the past five years in meeting regional accreditation standards related to assessment, planning and budgeting. The PRR also documented progress on recommendations resulting from our 2008 self-study and Middle States team visit. These recommendations asked us to take action in five particular areas: institutional effectiveness, college-wide assessment processes, general education curriculum, administrative support of assessment, and student learning outcomes assessment.
The substantial growth we have achieved in all of these areas since 2008 was possible only because of our shared commitment to excellence, and because of our willingness to work hard together. We were able to succeed in these efforts through many contributions, large and small, made by faculty, staff, students and administrators from every program, department and office of the college. My congratulations, thanks and appreciation go out to all of you.

A British woman tried to sue her divorce attorneys, claiming they failed to properly explain to her that getting a divorce would end her marriage.
Jane Mulcahy argued her lawyers did not make it clear to her that divorcing her now ex-husband would cause the marriage to be terminated, the Independent reported.
A Roman Catholic, she believed her attorneys should have recommended "judicial separation" instead -- a step down from divorce in England.
Lord Justice Michael Briggs dismissed the case, and then the appeal as well, according to the Daily Mail.
No word on what Mr. Mulcahy had to say about the matter.

The joint UNCTAD-OECD report is being issued for the forthcoming G20 Summit in Toronto, Canada, to be held on 26-27 June.
It will be submitted together with the WTO's report on trade-related developments though a joint letter and summary by the heads of the three organizations, Pascal Lamy, Supachai Panitchpakdi and Angel Gurría.
Today's joint report comes at a time when the global economic picture has improved, although the emerging recovery is still subject to significant downside risks. While global FDI inflows fell dramatically in 2009 (i.e. by some 40% compared to 2008), UNCTAD expects them to pick up this year, albeit modestly.
The UNCTAD-OECD Report on G20 Investment Measures finds that between November 2009 and May 2010, most investment policy moves pointed toward greater openness and transparency for foreign investors, but some emergency measures designed to manage the effects of the crisis continue to threaten the flow of international investment.
The new report confirms the findings of earlier joint reports on G20 trade and investment policies, issued in March 2010 and September 2009. Those findings are also in line with the April 2010 and December 2009 editions of UNCTAD's recently launched Investment Policy Monitor, which provides the most recent country-specific data on global investment policies.
The joint report looks at the relevant investment policy developments between November 2009 and mid-May 2010, including:
Emergency measures constituted the largest share of investment-related measures. Some were directed at the financial sector and the real economy as a whole. Others took a sector-specific approach, targeting the automotive, agriculture and shipbuilding sectors, or were aimed at the promotion of green products. While most of the earlier emergency schemes were maintained, some schemes were closed to new entrants, some were extended, and several new schemes were adopted.
The 20 IIAs concluded during the reporting period included 12 bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and eight other agreements with investment provisions. With these agreements, G20 countries further enhance the large network of IIAs to which they are parties, with a view to ensuring open and predictable policy frameworks governing international investment.
The report commends G20 countries and leaders for resisting protectionist pressures and contributing to a return to growth and development. The OECD and UNCTAD also recommend that G20 leaders extend their commitment to resisting protectionism and promoting global investment. However, the report urges that careful attention be paid to managing the investment impacts of the emergency measures taken in response to the crisis, and to the processes of winding down emergency schemes and ensuring progress on fundamental reform in the financial sector.

Time to rethink aboriginal relations
Wednesday, May 14, 2014 06:00 am
In annual polls of the best and most prosperous places to live in the world, Canada usually ends up in the top five, and almost always has a lock on top 10. Why, then, does Canada have significant numbers of its population living in Third World conditions?
A United Nations report was released Monday that closely examined Canada�s efforts to improve living conditions for aboriginals. James Anaya, the UN's envoy to Canada on the rights of indigenous peoples, spent just over a week last October visiting aboriginal communities in Canada. It's difficult to believe someone could get a true handle on this complex issue in such a short visit and the issues facing Canada�s aboriginal people won�t be solved in nine days of interviews, but it�s a start.
Anaya stated Canada has made noticeable if slight progress in improving aboriginals� living conditions both on and off reserve. Anaya�s suggestions are valid, including examining the inordinate number of missing and murdered aboriginal women in this country. If you happen to be living in Canada and also are an aboriginal female, you have a shockingly good chance of being the victim of murder. For example, the RCMP confirmed May 2 that aboriginal women account for about 16 per cent of murder victims while making up just four per cent of the Canadian population. Since 1980, more than 1,000 aboriginal women have been murdered. That number doesn�t include missing women, or crimes that have never been uncovered.
The UN report also correctly suggested that Canada continue to offer support for those suffering first, second or even third generation effects of residential schools and other systemic institutionalized abuse that violated, harmed, dehumanized and marginalized aboriginal people through no fault of their own.
Yet another excellent point Anaya made was to include aboriginals in meaningful discussions. Many complained that consultation with aboriginal people seemed more like a formality when it came to the Keystone XL and Northern Gateway pipeline projects. They questioned the sincerity of governments and corporations, leaving some aboriginals with the impression that consultation with them was more about whether or not the �consultation� box could be checked off on an application form.
But Anaya fell short in a few areas in his report too. There are other problems on reserves that need more than lip service and real action by aboriginals themselves. Rooting out corruption and incompetence on reserves is a very serious issue that affects the lives of aboriginals from childhood to adulthood. In 2010, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation claimed that Nova Scotia�s Glooscap First Nation had paid its chief and three councillors $1.7 million for salaries, expenses and business contracts during the 2008-2009 fiscal year. There isn�t enough room here to list all the accusations that have been made, many by band members themselves, of tribal councils� financial wrongdoings and nepotism.
Improving quality of life isn�t something you order off a menu of human rights. To repair the damage done by decades of bad choices and incompetence on both sides of the issue is going to require a complete rethinking of our relationship with Canada's aboriginal population. We need to accept the spirit of Anaya's report and get on with it.

The Bare Board Group Incorporated.Sunday, June 24th, 2012
I joined the Bare Board Group (BBG) in March of 2012 as the Engineering Director of the organization. BBG began operations in 2002 in response to a growing need among smaller OEM and EMS companies for lower volumes of printed circuit boards at lower offshore prices. BBG became a US supplier of printed circuit boards built in the Far East. BBG set out to eliminate the fears and difficulties of offshore manufacturing by becoming an extension of its customers' purchasing departments, handling all interactions with pre-qualified overseas vendors.
During my time at the company I have come to appreciate the differences that set BBG apart from their counter-parts sourcing boards from other parts of the Globe. The key differences are as follows… (more…)

Otley's much-loved Dunnies cafe will close its doors for the last time this weekend.
The riverside business, which has been serving the town since 1925, is set to be demolished to make way for a new care home.
Especially popular with cyclists, motorcyclists and walkers, the cafe will serve its final drinks and sandwichess on Sunday.
Wharfe View Cafe, to give it its official title, and the adjacent Wharfe View News will both be knocked down so the new 48-flat development can be built on the former All Saints Middle School site, off Bridge Street.
Campaigners had been fighting to save the cafe – althought the owners were keen to sell – but their hopes were dashed in December when a planning inspector found in favour of Gladman Care Homes' appeal.
Town and ward councillor Sandy Lay (Lib Dem, Otley & Yeadon) said: "Now that the decision to build the care home has been made it is time we all moved on, and that includes the owners of Dunnies – I wish them a happy and healthy retirement.
"In time, a new 'riverside' cafe will become available in the Garnett's Mill redevelopment, but in the meantime residents and visitors alike can still find plenty of choice in one of Otley's many cafes."
Although much sadness has been voiced over the loss of Dunnies, there has also been relief that one of the town's long-running 'eyesores' is to finally be redeveloped.
The planning inspector had accepted that the cafe was "highly regarded as something of a local institution", but said its loss would not justify refusing the care home scheme.

PUTNAM COUNTY — Two Putnam County Schools, Kalida and Columbus Grove,
have placed in the top 50 schools in Ohio in the U.S. News Best High
School rankings released last week. The U.S. News & World Report, a
nationally recognized publisher of education news and information,
announced Kalida High School ranked 19 within Ohio and Columbus Grove
ranked 33. Ohio has 832 high schools.
U.S. News analyzed more than
31,200 public high schools in all 50 states and the District of
Columbia. The schools were evaluated in three phases. The first two
steps looked at overall student performance on state-mandated
assessments, as well as how effectively schools educated their black,
Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students. They then used
participation in and performance on AP and IB exams to evaluate how well
schools prepared students for college-level course work.

Columbus Grove received a silver award and a national ranking of 710.
is a combination of things that resulted in this accomplishment," said
Kalida Superintendent Don Horstman. "We have great families and
students, great teachers and a wide variety of programs."
said although the ranking is for high schools, he credits the award as a
K-12 award since the foundation for the students' education begins in
elementary school.
"The expectations are high from our teachers and staff," said Horstman. "We shoot for scores above minimum."
am very proud of our students and staff for their accomplishment," said
Columbus Grove Superintendent Nick Verhoff. "We are very fortunate to
live in a community where parents and community members place a high
priority on the education of its young people."
"We are proud to
be in the top four percent in the state in terms of the academic
ratings, but we are also very pleased with the fact that we do this at
nearly $3,500 less per student (30 percent less) compared to the top
fifty high schools in the state of Ohio," Verhoff said.
Of the top
50 schools listed by U.S. News, Columbus Grove and Kalida had the
lowest FY 13 expenditure per pupil. Columbus Grove was $8,042 and Kalida
was $8.590 per pupil. In Ohio the average expenditure per pupil for the
top 50 was $11,519.22.
Horstman credits everybody coming together to make financial decisions.
we went through some tough cuts three years ago," Horstman said. He
said the cuts were shared by everyone including staff and parents. "It's
a credit to our teaching staff that they helped us through the tough
times and our school board helped make some tough decisions."
Horstman also credits great people teaching the Advanced Placement Elective subjects in the school.
like pay-to-participate, bussing cuts, and calamity days as furlough
days are never popular, but they have allowed us to keep programming in
place that is valuable to the kids," he said.
Kalida was listed in the US News and World Report best schools in 2012 and 2013 also.

Addiction of alcohol is a very common phenomenon in our current society and has plagued the teenage generation in such a tremendous way. Parents are concerned and so are teachers and the entire community as the young people take to drinking alcohol and driving drunk.
A faith based Christian alcohol rehab program in Yoder, WY provides relief in treating the problem to a degree of full sobriety if parents and teenagers are cooperative with the program. In most cases, teenagers feel like they are invincible and don't know the subsequent dangers of abusing alcohol. They will usually think that partying on weekends is the way to constantly live their lives to such an extent where they will be hit with DUI's that cause death to those involved in an accident caused by DUI.
The psychological effect of these DUI accidents will cause most teenagers to rethink their lives, but some won't learn any lesson. So that is why the public needs to be educated about alcohol abuse and the ramifications of driving while intoxicated. This will transfer to the children who will be warned by their parents not to drink and drive.
Teenagers are not instructed initially on the dangers of alcohol abuse because most parents do not think that their children will even attempt the habit of drinking. However, peer pressure can be the cause of many teenage drinking problems. Parents need to be in tune with their children's whereabouts and the kind of friends that they keep.
Through the process of a the Carbon County faith based rehab treatment program, parents can admit their children to a structured program that will not only counsel them, but also to give them the knowledge needed to overcome their addiction and to use the information for their future plans to lead a normal life.
A teenage alcoholic has an easier road to recovery than an adult does because they are still under the care of parents that usually are concerned enough to provide love and support for their recovery. The parents act as liaison between the teenager and the faith based treatment program. They are a full part of the recovery program as they take part in it as a family.
The teenager's mental health is an important aspect of the program as well as their spiritual healing. Their behavior may be caused by different reasons that are explored by the therapist and so the family has to be involved to see who or what had a part to do with this destructive behavior.
If the behavior was ignited by peer pressure, parents have to make sure that these friends are obliterated from the teen's life after recovery so that the teenager does not relapse. Some teens may appear to be defiant and don't want to get rid of their friends, but parents have to be adamant and discipline their teens to show them that this is a serious thing and nothing to be considered lightly.
Teenage alcoholism is dominant in our society and parents, teachers, a faith based Christian alcohol rehab program and other members of the society need to take an active role in doing their part to solve the problem.

Salt River Project's electric customers continue to give SRP high marks for customer satisfaction. In a report issued by J.D. Power and Associates, SRP received the top score for residential electric service in the Large Utilities segment in the western United States for the 11th consecutive year and the highest total among the nation's largest utilities for the fourth year in a row.
SRP's ranking was bolstered by sweeping the No. 1 spot in the survey's Large Utilities segment in both the West region and nationally for all six survey components, Power Quality and Reliability, Billing and Payment, Corporate Citizenship, Price, Communications and Customer Service. SRP also earned the highest ranking in the nation of all 126 electric utility brands for the Billing and Payment category.
Among all large utilities across the nation, SRP scored highest in customer satisfaction for the seventh time in the 14 years J.D. Power and Associates has conducted its study of residential customers. With a Customer Satisfaction Index score of 700 on a 1,000-point scale in this year's ranking, SRP is the only electric utility that has been ranked among the top 10 in the U.S. in all 14 years.
It is the 13th time in the last 14 years that SRP scored the highest in the West among large electric utilities (500,000 or more residential customers), sweeping the top spot in all six performance categories just as it did in the Large Utilities segment. The average score in the West large region, which covers utilities in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming, was 638.
"Earning these high marks from our customers year after year never gets old, and it only reinforces the fact that all of our employees play a role in receiving this significant recognition," said SRP General Manager Mark Bonsall.
"For example, one of the main categories in the J.D. Power studies is Power Quality and Reliability. Our performance there is the result of the high standards set by employees in the areas that keep electricity flowing to customers and by restoring power as quickly as possible during an outage," he said. "Another example is our high Corporate Citizenship rating, which is derived from SRP's reputation as a resource steward, water as well as power, and the hundreds of hours of volunteer work in the communities we serve put in by employees from all parts of SRP."
The 2012 Electric Utility Residential Customer Satisfaction Study was based on responses from more than 104,000 online interviews conducted from July 2011 through May 2012 among residential customers of the 126 largest electric utility brands across the nation, which collectively represent more than 93 million households. More information on the J.D. Power and Associates' study can be found at www.jdpower.com/library/index.htm.
SRP is the largest provider of electricity to the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, providing electric service to more than 950,000 customers. SRP also is the metropolitan area's largest supplier of water, delivering about 1 million acre-feet to agricultural, urban and municipal water users.

A new pilot contract ratified by the pilots of United Airlines on December 15 will open more opportunities for "large" regional airplane flying by United Express affiliates but likely result in another large-scale grounding of 50-seat regional jets. It also appears to signal a desire for United to add 90- to 120-seat narrowbodies in the category of the Embraer E190/195 and Bombardier CSeries CS100 some time after January 2016.
The four-year pact, which finally allows UAL's 10,000 pilots to begin working toward a consolidated seniority list following the 2010 merger of United and Continental Airlines, will allow for 255 seventy- and seventy-six-seat aircraft starting Jan. 1, 2014. By that time, 76-seaters may account for 130 of the 255 airplanes, and by Jan. 1, 2016, the number of 76-seaters may rise to 153.
In effect, the contract allows for the addition of 80 airplanes in the 70- and 76-seat categories starting in 2014. Two years later, if United adds new small narrowbodies (defined as the Bombardier CS100, Embraer E190 or Embraer E195) to the mainline, the number of 76-seat airplanes at the United Express carriers may rise from 153 to 223, and the combined complement of 255 seventy/76-seaters may grow to 325. Under the formula, the company may add a single 76-seat aircraft for every one-and-a-quarter small mainline narrowbodies. However, any increase in the number of 76-seaters above 153 would trigger a fairly complicated formula under which the United Express 50-seat fleet, which now numbers some 350, would begin to shrink.
Under the formula, as soon as the 76-seat fleet reaches 154, the number of 50-seaters would start to fall. Much depends on the size of the 50-seat fleet at the time the 76-seat fleet reaches the 154 threshold. Effectively, if the number of 50-seat aircraft in the fleet equals 334, for example, the formula states that the company would have to remove 2.99 (effectively three) fifty-seaters for every 76-seat jet added. If the 50-seat fleet equals 488, then the company would need to remove 5.19 fifty-seaters for every 76-seat jet it adds.
Other conditions include block hour limitations and hub connectivity obligations and a requirement that flights of less than 900 statute miles account for at least 80 percent of all United Express flights in a given month.

Once again, labor unions insist upon shooting themselves in the foot. Why on earth should any labor union dictate to management, what mix of fleets should be allowed in any company? How many seats on a plane, and how many of what type of planes, is something that management alone should decide.
All such meddling by power-hungry union bosses only ensures the cost of operating the company will be higher than it would be, if management had a total Free-Market right to make those decisions, without being hamstrung by another idiotic union millstone, hung around the company's neck.
The work rules imposed on UAL by the 2000 pilot contract, actually required UAL management to hire 33% more pilots, to accomplish the same amount of work done by SWA pilots. Any wonder the end result was that SWA went on to expand routes, buy more planes, and hire a lot more pilots and other employees, at the same time that UAL went into bankruptcy, parked planes, and laid off a lot of employees?
Labor unions do not create and protect jobs. To the contrary, they destroy them.

Actually what the Unions should do is say airlines can fly any size aircraft they want.- BUT- if it says united on the tail or on the ticket- United pilots, on the United seniority list are flying them PERIOD!
Untill the union gets that done, this will continue to be a race to the bottom, or a race to bankrupcy for various regionals.
By the way Boser- Comparing swa (a domestic point to point airline) with an international players is hilarious! Further, allowing "free market" decisions by airline management would've killed hundreds of thousands by now- Fire supression system not operable on the aircraft? Just Go! your probably not going to need it - but we sure want the revenue!!

Book Review
This first volume of the seminar on Zarathustra, just published by Boringhieri, opens with an intense digression on Zoroastrianism and on Iranian religion, capable of inventing the fundamental distinction between good and evil which then passed to the West through the mediation of Christianity. The comparison with religion and its dogmas is continuous. Why was Nietzsche obsessed by Christianity?

Topic: My husband has passed away
My husband Patrick (only 38) passed away August 15th, 2013- after fighting a 16 month battle with this awful disease. Our 1 year wedding anniversary would have been on August 18. I'm so heartbroken and miss him so much. I just can't believe he is actually gone....he fought for so long with everything he had. It's just so unfair.
Even though my heart is so heavy right now, I just wanted to say how much I really appreciated all the information and support that the cholangiocarcinoma Foundation provides. There is not a lot of information about this type of complex cancer out there, and it can be a very lonely and confusing journey to go through. This foundation has been a true rock to lean on. Thank very much. Donation money to your foundation from Patrick's friend's & loved ones will be in the mail soon.
Warm Regards,

They call it the race that stops the nation and, with 3.58 million television viewers tuned in, yesterday's Melbourne Cup wasn't far from delivering on that promise.
A total of 2.66 million viewers watched the Melbourne Cup in the five mainland capital city TV markets while almost one million more were watching in regional markets around the country.
The iconic race's hometown audience was impressive, with 1.345 million people watching in Melbourne.
The result immediately catapults the Melbourne Cup into the top five most watched one-off sporting events of the ratings year, inching ahead of the rugby league grand final, but behind the chart-topping AFL grand final and the rugby league state of origin.
The overall program rankings are calculated using the capital city ratings only. Because the capital cities and regional areas are discrete advertising markets, the two numbers are rarely mixed, except by media in reporting total national audiences for major events such as this.
Seven, which broadcasts the event, said a total of roughly 4.85 million people watched all or part of the network's coverage.
While the race itself was the highest rating part of Seven's broadcast, Seven split the Melbourne Cup telecast into five program blocks.
The pre-race coverage from Flemington drew a national audience (capital cities plus regional areas) of 916,000 viewers. Pre-race coverage from the mounting yard ahead of the race lifted that audience to 2.22 million.
The telecast hit its largest audience with 3.58 million people watching the race itself, the winner's presentation held 2.64 million of those viewers and post-race coverage softened to around 1.28 million viewers.
Overall the result is outstanding for Seven, not just because of the large audience volumes drawn to the race itself, but because of the powerful spread of audience across the day.
Holding an audience of 1.28 million for post-race coverage, in particular, is a big win for any network, particularly at a time when audiences are drawing their information from a number of sources, including smartphones and second screens.
The race also drew an extraordinary 95.7 per cent commercial share of the audience. That means that during the race, 95.7 per cent of television viewers were watching the Melbourne Cup.
Top five one-off sporting events in 2012
1. AFL grand final presentations (Seven) 3.22m
2. AFL grand final Hawthorn v Sydney (Seven) 2.96m
3. State of origin #3 Qld v NSW (Nine) 2.69m
4. Melbourne Cup 2012 (Seven) 2.66m
5. Rugby league grand final (Nine) 2.57m

Super Bowl NON-SPECIFIC SPORTING EVENT sideshows like this 90's rapper you forgot about rapping or this other 90's rapper performing all those songs you loved but when you listen to now sound really, really stupid. And don't forget 90's person Alyssa Milano who still has breasts, making her barely relevant enough to earn a nominal fee to walk a red carpet with a product name attached to it, and all because FOOTBALL. That pure, completely untainted beacon of American idealism that's never once let anybody down.
One of our nation's largest industries — not to mention favorite past time — is built on a foundation of swept under the rug rape. Enjoy the big game!!

(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview dated April 21, 2011)
And We have sent down the Book (the Qur'an) to you (O Muhammad) with truth, confirming and conserving the previous Books.
What is the Qur'an? It is also an indication of the truth of the Torah and the Gospel.
Judge between them by what Allah has sent down and do not follow their whims and desires. We have appointed a law and a practice for every one of you.
What comes after Judaism and Christianity? Islam. What do Muslims do? Whom do they follow after the Prophet Noah (as)? The Prophet Abraham (as).
Had Allah willed, He would have made you a single community, but He wanted to test you regarding what has come to you. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 48)
Allah says that commandments have come all the time.2011-05-15 11:12:12

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"Up ra Shellik. um pyoor Irish cos ahv drunk a pint ahv Guinness."
"Aye but the ref cheated us!"
Once upon a time Sellik FC were a a swimming club from Ireland AKA Scotland . Now Known As Celtic We Like make Poo Poo in our Panties, they are the dumbest football club team in the history of football. They always attempt to touch their penises in a furtive manner when playing against other teams because of this Celtic players are well known for saying, "Look at me ah've goat a boaby soaz ah huv"
Intelligence of Players and Fans
During a recent survey, the average IQ of a Celtic player was rougly about 4. This is the same level as a banana, in fact the average Celtic player is so dumb that he/she has to wear a nappy, he or she likes the smell of pee pee and poo poo.
Usually fans will attempt to change this page with rubbish alterations such as "Celtic are awesome" or "the players are all really clever." So from this it can be construed that most Celtic fans are humourless morons.
Update November 2010... Celtic fans attacking referees and their families. proper order, about time the referees in scotland were held into account for their right decisions especially in the games against the best side of glasgow, glesga Rangers
Current Manager
Their current manager Neil (Ahm a boaby soaz a ahm) Lennon is a prime example of stupidity, this is an attempt by him to make himself more accessible to the public and seem sage like.
"Me iz nil Lunnin. lik hid dog an bik,,, cd oooh hilp. lik celti, goali sail see big. ?????? fish? fish? fish? fish? hair?"
Translated as:
"Hi my name is Neil Lennon. In my spare time I like playing hide and seek with my dog, going cycling, and listening to music; however, I do not know how to work a CD player - I need some help with that - currently, my dog does it for me. Apart from being a successful manager for Celtic, I would like to sail around the world because my goalkeeper told me that the world is very big. What are the answers to the following questions. Do any fish live in the sea? Do fish watch television? Do fish have hands? I have never seen a fish wearing a swimming costume, does that mean that they swim naked or does it mean they swim with all their clothes on? Can I eat my own hair?"
Season 06-07
In the 2006-2007 seasons, Celtic took on the challenge of learning how to eat shite,and concentrated on winning the league aided by the fantastic management skills of Uber Gnome Gordon Strachan. In late 2006 Celtic fielded a team of cabbages to give the real stars a chance to go to school and learn how to write their names. These counterfeit McGeadys, Nakamuras and Lennon's, in spite of their limited football ability, were more than capable of maintaining the facade that Celtic were a football team. Nakamura scored a last second goal vs. Kilmarnock to win the title. He is the best football player in the history of monkey spanking.
The Wash - A Rare and not exactly enjoyed tradition, that comes around less frequently than an intelligent Hun. Basically once in a Green Moon, so it only happened once (well twice, but we'll call it once) in 1967, when they all had to swim the English Channel twice (once there and once back)from the winning the "How long are yi gonny go oan about that Ancient fuckin history cup" trophy. Some Actually died, as the channel liquid substance wis Blue (a death colour for Timians), whereas other were burned and scarred for life by, this unnatural and strange liquid (to them)
Irish War of Independence 1921
Seven Celtic fans celebrate the discovery of fresh air, 1955, the first time any fans manage to escape from the Parkhead area..
Better than an asthmatic snail- 1888 - current
European Cup- 567 (Inter actually won the game but jinky went back to his days of house breaking and managed to blag it before anyone had noticed)
SPL (shite poofs league) champions- once . we hudtae let Rangers win mair than us honest !
Neil Lennon was caught for speeding on his way to the Parkhead midden today. "Three, poins fir me, Ill do anything for three points", he said when questioned. He then took oot his boaby and attempted to shag the pavement because he thought it was a cat.
Celtic are a British team who fly the Union Jack with huge pride. At most home games the home support can be heard sing Rule Britannia and The Sash My Father Wore.
Neil Lennon: Cat Shagging and Public Masturbation
- Neil Lennon gets confused over the meanings of the terms cat and pussy, he thinks that cats are walking vaginas. Subsequently, this means that he tries to shag any cat that he has face time with. He constantly frequents pets shops and the homes of aging feminists in search of cats to shag.
- At Parkhead, he is forbidden to watch TV because he masturbates when he sees cat food adverts. Nothing is known about his TV watching habits at home. Supermarkets are difficult places for him too; all those cans of whiskas and kite-kat stacked higher than head height always cause him to take oot the boaby and knock wan oot.
Imbolc Is actually a Celtic (Kel-tik) holiday about waffles. Contrary to what is commonly believed about it being the beginning of a book. This is completely untrue as this was indeed a Jewish celebration. Blah blah blah The belief that this holiday has ANYTHING to do with Wiccans is myth, because Wiccans are myths. Wiccans are commonly mixed up with Catholics, since in the stories they both enjoy using kung fu to defeat their enemies, the only difference being is that Catholics are a real menace to society. Like Godzilla menace, not Dennis the Menace. Even thinking for second that Burger King is not Home of the Whopper can sets these ass whoopin' niggas off. So don't mess with the best.]]
Snails. Celtic fans are jealous of snails uncanny ability to carry their houses on their backs. Celtic fans can often be heard saying; "Ah wish ah wiz a snail so ah dae, ah wish a wiz a snail so ah dae, then ah widnae huv far tae go hame bicoz ma hame wid be oan ma heid."
Celtic have had a long and peaceful relationship with local golf club Rangers. Both sets of fans love each other very much and sometimes meet up at each others houses to play a friendly game of tiddlywinks or poke the bum.
Celtic's biggest rivals are Kings Lynn F.C. This is because Kings Lynn play better football than Celtic and the fact Celtic want to be English.

Cork in a GlassScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
If a cork is put into a glass of water, the cork will almost always drift to the side of the glass. There is one simple way, however, to get the cork to float in the center of the glass (the horizontal center, not the vertical). What is it? Water, the glass, and the cork are all that is required.
AnswerThe reason that a cork drifts to the side of a glass is that it floats to the highest point. Since water "clings" to the glass, the highest point is around the edge of the water. To get the cork to float in the middle of the glass, all you have to do is fill the glass as much as possible. The water will form a convex shape above the glass, with the highest point at its center. This is where the cork will settle.

Senators Kay Hagan (NC) and Debbie Stabenow (MI), Chairwoman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, sent a letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack yesterday, urging him to approve disaster assistance for small pork producers affected by PEDv. Analysts estimate the deadly virus has killed more than four million pigs nationwide since April 2013, which could have a significant impact on the agricultural economy. The 2014 Farm Bill, signed into law last month, permanently extends critical livestock disaster assistance programs that could help producers in North Carolina, Michigan and 24 other states cope with the virus and manage the spread of the disease.
"Pork producers that have been impacted by PEDv face economic devastation, these producers are finally experiencing periods of higher margins after prolonged periods of razor thin profits. If this disease persists, pork herds will continue to diminish and producers risk going out of business," the Senators wrote in a letter to Secretary Vilsack.
The Senators also asked the USDA to increase research for a vaccine and other interventions to address PEDv, for which no vaccine or treatment currently exists.
The Senators noted that unmitigated spread of PEDv poses a serious threat to the agricultural economy, as the pork industry supports nearly 550,000 jobs across the country and contributes $34.5 billion to the U.S. economy. The virus has existed in Europe and Asia for several years, but hasn't had the same critical impact in those areas. The disease was identified in the United States last May, and the harsh winter has led to its continuous spread.
Read the Senators' letter here.
