NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include New York Times ( NYT) as the company is putting the Boston Globe newspaper on sale once again. This is the second time New York Times is seeking to put the Globe on the auction block. The potential sale, which will also include the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, comes as the Times looks to focus on expanding its global reach. The New York Times paid $1.1 billion for the Boston Globe in 1993. It's expected the Times will receive a fraction of that for the paper now, in an age where newspapers are struggling for subscribers as many turn to the Web for their news. The Times first put the Globe up for sale in 2009 but decided to keep the paper after coming to agreements with unions from the Globe and cutting costs.
Nvidia ( NVDA) is trending as the chipmaker is planning a new $300 million headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., later this year. The company is planning a million-square-foot campus and will begin construction on a 500,000-square-foot building in June; it expects to occupy that building by July 2015. Construction on a second building on the new campus will begin when growth requires it, according to company spokesman Hector Marinez. Nvidia has been running out of a room at its current campus which is just across the street from its new planned site. The first phase of the new headquarters could reportedly accommodate an additional 1,000 to 2,000 employees. Marinez said the company is currently recruiting. The expansion could be read as a signal that the tech boom in Silicon Valley isn't slowing down.
PSE&G is another popular search. Public Service Enterprise Group ( PEG) has asked regulators to approve a $2.6 billion plan to improve its grid over the next five years and protect the New Jersey area from future storms. The money would be used to flood-proof substations, replace old gas pipes and add "smart" sensors to utility poles, according to Chairman and CEO Ralph Izzo. The company may seek another $1.3 billion for the following five years, bringing the total expenditure to $3.9 billion.
The chatter on Main Street (a.k.a. Google, Yahoo! and other search sites) is always of interest to investors on Wall Street. Thus, each day, TheStreet compiles the stories that are trending on the Web, and highlights the news that could make stocks move. -- Written by Brittany Umar.

Win an Autographed Dave Mustaine Dean Guitar!
We've got an incredible prize to offer one lucky metalhead! To celebrate Megadeth's fourteenth studio album, 'Super Collider,' Loudwire has teamed up with Noisecreep to give away an autographed Dave Mustaine signature Dean VMNTX guitar!
Modeled after one of Mustaine's many custom Dean VMNT guitars, the VMNTX sports a silver basswood body with a maple top and a rosewood fretboard. The axe also hones two powerful Dean humbucker pickups and a grand total of 24 frets. The VMNTX also boasts a string-thru bridge which increases sustain in your sound.
During a recent interview with radio goddess Full Metal Jackie, Dave Mustaine spoke about 'Super Collider' and Megadeth's current mindset when it comes to writing music. "As far as thinking man's metal and having a lot of twists and turns," begins Mustaine, "we always liked doing that stuff and I think if every song had that it would become predictable and you would know what you're going to get. Megadeth is a predictably unpredictable band and you never really know what you're going to hear with the songs."
In support of 'Super Collider,' Megadeth are set to embark on the 2013 Gigantour, which features support from Black Label Society, Device, Hellyeah, Newsted and more. The trek kicks off July 3 in Gilford, N.H. Click here for a full list of dates.
Megadeth's 'Super Collider' is now available on CD and vinyl. To enter our Megadeth Dean VMNTX guitar contest, fill out the form below. The more options you select, the more entries you get. The contest ends July 4, so enter now!

Game 7. The end of the odyssey.
The Rangers need a point to have gone through this ridiculous 16,500-mile schedule at NHL-.500, or a win to top that.
Martin Biron gets his first start of the season in goal in place of sore-footed Henrik Lundqvist (Biron's playing because it's time for him to play, not because of Hank's tootsies).
Jeff Woywitka is back in the lineup, in place of Brendan Bell. Wojtek Wolski returns from his groin injury and one-game prucha to replace Erik Christensen, who is prucha'd.
Wojtek and Woywitka?
Marc Staal and Michael Sauer remain sidelined.
Home game for trainer Jim Ramsay, and for the second Atlanta franchise to migrate North.

This Saturday, September 18th, marks the beginning of the annual 16-day Oktoberfest celebration held in Munich, Germany. Some six million people attend every year, flooding the city and getting crazy with food and drink (explore with the Thirsty Traveler!). Even if you can't make the trip to Munich, you can cook up your own Oktoberfest fare at home – it's fall comfort food at its finest!
Start out with deceptively easy homemade pretzels. (Learn about the surprising origins and dramatic history of pretzels here).
For a meaty German main, try Chuck's Lamb Sausages, Emeril's Roast Pork with Braised Red Cabbage or Bratwurst and Onions in Beer.
Go ahead and try your hand at German potato and bread dumplings to serve on the side. Here's a family recipe from Wisconsin blogger Rylee, a cheese-spiked bread dumpling from Cooking with Patty or this basic recipe from Bavarian Kitchen. Or try Anne Burrell's take on Spaetzle.

Fees are charged for the completion of eligibility evaluations for out-of-state and out-of-country graduates and for the processing of each individual license or permit issued by the department. Multiple actions taken on one license generally require only one fee.
For example, an educator may apply to renew an instructional license and at the same time add a new content area to that license with only one (1) fee. But, if an Educator applies to renew two (2) separate licenses (for instance, a Rules 46-47 All Schools instructional license and a Rules 46-47 Administrative and Supervision license) each license will require a separate application and fee.
- $35 for each Educator License or Permit
- $35 for an Evaluation (Out-of-State and Out-of-Country Graduates)
- $15 for a Substitute Permit
Educators that submit multiple applications at the same time may pay by Visa or MasterCard through LVIS. All transactions will include a processing fee.
All fees are non-refundable.
Payment/Costs involved for 1st time licensure
This includes all Out-of-State Applicants and all Non-US Graduate/Out-of-Country Applicants.
When you apply for an original license there are 2 fees associated with the licensure: an Evaluation Fee and a License Application Fee. The initial payment will be used for the evaluation of your credentials. This fee is $35.00 (plus handling and transaction fees). After the evaluation is completed, a second payment of $35.00 (plus handling and transaction fees) will be due to issue the license. The Office of Educator Licensing will notify you when this payment is due.

"We are giving my daughter a Wine & Cheese Bridal Shower and started out with this design since there is no specific shower card of this type. The invitations arrived today and they turned out perfectly! We love them. The design is darling, colors are great and the paper is high quality. I tweaked the card twice until I got it right where I wanted it (added the necessary info, changed a font, moved a couple of lines, etc.) and then sent in the approval. The invitations have exceeded my expectations and believe me, I'm pretty fussy. Thank you, Wedding Paper Divas. Now I'm back for the "Thank Yous"."
"This is a really cute card! I stayed with basic paper - it was fine! Printing was on point. I had a lot of wording to squeeze in. Heard from the reviewer right away - she was very helpful. I would order from these guys again!"
"I wanted an invitation for my husband's 60th birthday, that I knew he would be comfortable with. While this invitation is more on the formal side it reflects his interest in wine and his taste for more classic styles. I was so happy to find it was an option! The paper and envelope are very nice and I'm glad I didn't pay for an upgrade. The rush service went as planned. The return address printing on the envelopes appears to be limited to two lines. If you live in a multiple dwelling this could be a problem."
"The paper was excellent quality & thick stock. The text print was great & the customer service superb. The colors & design of the card were great so I didn't change that. I appreciated the free review & normal etiquite changes. Although this was seen originally for a birthday celebration, it was able to be changed/personalized for a wedding rehearsal dinner since it followed the theme. I was unable to find anything like this with other print businesses."
"This was my first experience with Wedding Paper Divas. They exceeded my expectations! The paper quality was gorgeous - and the photo was perfect. I am very happy with this purchase!"

Navigating Champagne … a Festive Tasting in Paris!
By Katherine Parker
payday loans hutchinson ks
The weekend before New Years' I found myself tasting Champagnes in a Paris apartment with a friendly group of wine aficionados. The tasting was put together by Camilla Macfarlane, cheap viagra canada a California expat living in Paris, with a background in the wine industry. Camilla put together a wonderful lineup of Champagnes in the holiday spirit, with generous hors d'oeuvres by Kent Keatinge to highlight the wines.
Six Champagnes – all Brut style from esteemed houses – were on the menu. Brut is a medium-dry Champagne and the most popular style sold today. You may find an Extra Dry (slightly more sugar) or an Extra Brut (slightly less) but most of what you see on the market is Brut. Four of the six were from the region of Reims in France.
The first two were contrasting varietals: A Laurent Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut NV made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, and a Philipponnat Brut Grand Blanc made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. I found the Laurent Perrier the most aromatic of all wines poured, with a distinct nose of fresh wild strawberry-raspberry and an appetizing peach color. Little cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches went well with these small bubbles. The wine comes in a plump dark bottle – the green glass indicating the "black" pinot grapes. The curvy shape and pink collar clearly brand this as a feminine wine.
Also, the Laurent Perrier is a Cuvée – a blend of grapes from 10 different villages, all in the Reims region known for Champagne. The wine is
aged for at least 4 years and is 12% alcohol – another thing I enjoy about Champagne.
The Philipponnat comes in a white bottle to indicate the all-white Chardonnay grapes. A small pastry appetizer topped with tiny shrimps was perfect with this creamy, smooth Blanc de Blanc-style wine.
Next Camilla brought out 2 magnums, each a Brut NV blend of all 3 grapes used in classic Champagne: Veuve Clicquot with at least 50% Pinot Noir, 28% Chardonnay, and 15% Pinot Meunier grapes, and Taittinger with 40% Chardonnay and 60% Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The Taittinger captivated me with crispness and structure based on balanced acidity. That this
wine is a blend of grapes from 35 different "crus" or villages, attests to the winemaking skill of the family-owned Taittinger house.
Drinking from a magnum offers a higher quality wine, because there is less oxygen in the bottle relative to the surface area of the wine. This is also said to favor the creation of small bubbles, which enhance the tactile experience of drinking Champagne.
About this time, we moved on to an appetizer of fish breaded into lollipops, with an apricot-mustard sauce. Whether it was the magnums or the fabulous food and conversation that made the evening so agreeable is hard to say. I think by this time we were all having a great time.
The near-final Champagne was a Ruinart Brut from the same blend of grapes as the Taittinger but made to be even more crisp, acidic and refreshing. The Ruinart undergoes full malolactic fermentation, which is not noted for the Taittinger. Our group thought this might account for the difference between the two wines.
The Grand Finalé was a vintage Dom Perignon 2003 Champagne. I enjoyed the minerality and structure of this taste. The bubbles were the most perfect of the evening – a fountain of tiny bubbles pulsing up from the center of the flute. Paired with beef chili on mini wheat tortilla squares – Mexican with Champagne goes great!
This event was a great opportunity to compare and contrast. I favored the tastes and textures of Ruinart and Taittinger. At the end of the day between the two, it would probably be decided on price. If price were no object, I would go with the Ruinart.
If you are living in Paris, or even if you are visiting like I was, check Camilla's Paris Wine Meetup Group for tasting dates.

Chablis – Ignore This Region at Your Palate's Peril. Observations & Tasting Notes
It's a bit ironic as a blogger and now small vintner, well known for love of Rhône wines, that I regularly come to the defense of Chardonnay.
Several years ago for #ChardonnayDay, when others scoffed at such a concept, I held a tasting for 10 producers of varied styles that people raved about later. The tasting accomplished my goal of demonstrating that Chardonnay is perhaps the most widely varied varietal in profile of any I know, based on where its from, and wine making techniques.
(See: Seeing California Chardonnay in a New Light: #Chardonnay Day Greenhouse Tasting, Attendees Top Picks. )
Stop Thinking of California Chardonnay As THE Representative Of The Varietal
The biggest mistake consumers make is when they write off Chardonnay because of the classic California oaky butter ball/bomb (think Rombauer.)
The style has the illusion of defining Chardonnay because many of the large brands produce these styles by the millions of cases.
Let's be clear, these wines are often vinified (aka manipulated) to achieve this flavor and texture, including extra Malic acid added to convert to Lactic acid, for the big butter texture. Lower end wines have oak chips added, higher priced ones get over oaked in new French barrels.
However, there are a number of small vintners who make excellent chardonnay not in a classic non California style. This, however, is not my focus today. I encourage you to taste from producers like, Inman Family Wines, Ryme, Donelan, to name only a few.
For the Ultimate Chardonnay Breadth of Potential – Go French
I generally encourage domestic wines, and supporting local vintners, where possible, as many high quality small Vintners are often missed.
However to win over the jaded Chardonnay pundit, I often find it necessary to make a radical palate shift, and taste a consumer through the Chardonnay's from Burgundy – and when I want to make the most impact, if I think their palate will appreciate, I go right to the north of Burgundy – for Chablis.
Jug Wine Names From Decades Past – No Connection
Unfortunately wine consumers sometimes hear 'Chablis' and "White Burgundy' and unfortunately may conjure up the images of old Ernest & Julio Gallo or Carlo Rossi white jug wines. It's a tragedy the names of generations of stunning French white wines were connected with these jug wines, as they bear no resemblance.
The fact that Carlo Rossi STILL sells a 4.0 Liter jug wine called 'Chablis' is support for why we globally trademark and protect wine regions. This is not 'Chablis' just as Barefoot Bubbly is not 'champagne' – Grandfathering be damned in the latter case.
What Defines & Distinguishes Chablis
Chablis is sometimes referred to as the 'purest' form of Chardonnay, because the vinification techniques are the least impacting on flavor profile.
Most of Chablis is fermented in stainless steel or neutral oak barrel, with aging in stainless, or a mix of used oak barrels, with minimal new. Chablis is the Northern most region in Burgundy, thus cooler, so the wines are generally quite high in acid and bright. Most Chablis, that I have tasted anyway, generally go through Malolactic fementation, which helps give another layer of complexity to these bright wines.
However, wine making alone can not account for Chablis being so different than other Chardonnay from Burgundy.
The soils of Chablis are known as Kimmeridge clay which is a composition of limestone, clay and tiny fossilized oyster shells. All of Chablis' Grand Cru vineyards and Premier Cru vineyards are planted on primarily Kimmeridgean soil which imparts a distinctively mineral, flinty note to the wines.
You may scoff at concept of 'terroir', but the essence of seashells, salinity, and minerality are captured perfectly in the aroma and flavor profile of these delightful wines.
How Could You NOT Love These Wines
For the wine aficionado, the world of Chablis offers much. If your palate favors acid driven wines, mineral laden whites, there is much to love in Chablis, especially in the offers from the Premier and Grand Crus. White wines that have steely, mineral, saline notes, that scream for food, but are impeccably enjoyable solo. Great Chablis exists at all price points, with good quality as low as $20, but there is a difference when you pay for Premier & Grand Cru that can not be denied.
Don't be a afraid to splurge for an older bottle on a fine wine list. Acid, more than tannin, is what preserves a wine and allows it to age, and indeed many Chablis benefit from a few years in bottle before releasing.
Chablis Media Tour
Last month I was invited to a small media tasting and lunch, hosted by the Chablis Wine Board and Pure Chablis. Winemaker & President Jean Francois Bordet, led the tasting personally. I have always been a fan of Chablis, but this tasting was the 'ah ha!' epiphany moment that made me wake up. Why am I not drinking more of these wines?!
I am now so smitten with Chablis that in ten days I am spending two days there touring, prior heading to my beloved Northern Rhone, and in fact at the expense of some Rhone tasting appointments. Those who follow my passion, know what a statement that is.
Look for an article series in the New Year as I tour vineyards, cellars, talk with Vintners, as well as updates on our Facebook page.

Slightly rounder front and mid palate with red apple and lime, a modest finish of tangerine. $25. 88 Points.


text: It is true that "all the girls wanna play Baywatch" at the swimming pools full of liquor (Kendrick Lamar, "Swimming Pools"). Generation Y parties, both in college and high school, present you with a reality surfacing from the deep end of young adult freedom. Diving through the future, our new understandings of suffering blend with our pleasure. We get it poppin' to the beat while we process the new meaning of unhappiness. This introduction to the struggles of adulthood affects our ceremony of intoxication; instead of channeling love through our weekend celebrations, we mix parties with therapy.

What is alternative therapy?
In some cases, physicians will recommend, or patients may request, treatment alternatives that are not considered conventional medicine. "Conventional" refers to medicine typically practiced by persons who have M.D. (medical doctor) or D.O. (doctor of osteopathy) degrees, and who suggest treatments that have been scientifically tested, found to be safe and effective, and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Sometimes, however, these physicians may also recommend some non-conventional therapies that may be used to complement, or complete, a treatment plan.
- Complementary medicine is any form of therapy used in combination with other alternative treatments or standard/conventional medicine. Complementary therapy usually serves to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
- Alternative medicine is used alone, without recommended standard treatment.
When the term "CAM" is used, that means that the treatment combines complementary and alternative medicine.
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) points out that what is considered to be CAM changes continually because once those therapies are proven to be safe and effective, they become incorporated into conventional medicine.
What are the different types of alternative therapies?
The following are some alternate therapies that may be included in a patient's treatment plan:
- hypnosis
- massage
- biofeedback
- diet and herbs
- art therapy
- music therapy
- dance therapy
- distraction
- imagery
- yoga
- physical exercise
Before considering complementary and alternative therapy:
Most complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) fields are not standardized or controlled by any Western medical guidelines. You should consult your physician before beginning any complementary or alternative therapy, as some therapies may interfere with standard treatment.
It is important to be an informed healthcare consumer when considering complementary or alternative medicine. Before starting therapy, you should consider the following:
- Consult with your physician.
- Use your library to research books, articles, and scientific journals.
- Use the Internet to do research.
- Look for information on controlled, scientific studies on the therapy you are considering.
- Talk to others who have actually tried the therapy.
What warning signs may indicate a fraudulent therapy?
According to the American Cancer Society, it is better to avoid treatment with the following warning signs:
- The treatment is based on unproven theories.
- The treatment promises a cure.
- The treatment is a secret and can only be given by certain providers.
- The treatment requires travel to another country.
- Those who provide the treatment discount standard or conventional medicine and/or tell the patient not to use standard or conventional medicine.

+2 votes Justin Leasure › April 16, 2013
Front 9 = A- Back 9 = B This is not an easy course, and there are better courses out there for beginners and/or families with young kids. I think its a fun and challenging course that let's you get your hiking exercise in. The front 9 are awesome. They are older, and baskets need a little fixing up, but I like the layout. The back 9 are newer, and are located in the newer wooded section of the park, so there is a lot of brush and thorns. However it seems as though they are cleaning it up little by little. Sometimes I'll do front 9 twice instead.
+1 votes Craig Fernandez › January 28, 2013
Very challenging and fun course, in a not-very-crowded location. Lots of wooded holes that leave enough room to make you use all the shots you've got! Plenty of elevation (both uphill & downhill). Probably not so fun for beginners.
+1 votes Roxanne Eckrote › October 14, 2013
This course is challenging but fun! I'm a rookie but definitely enjoy pushing my limits, I'd rather do okay at a course like this and learn what I need to work on than breeze through a "baby" course!
+1 votes Rodney Havens › November 5, 2013
No clear throwing lanes, very long holes and baskets that are falling over! Takes forever to play so pack a lunch. Recently played a tournament there and did better than than expected. Rating has moved up a little, but the course could definitely use some attention in the cleanup of fallen trees!
+0 votes Jesse "Scoop" Santiago › October 14, 2013
An F and a D+ doesnt give this course the proper respect. This course is sweet if you cam hit the lines. If you can't, you'll give a D. Check it out and form your own opinion.
+0 votes Xelto G › August 15, 2015
Lots of straight shots with a possible sharp dogleg on the end-- about 2/3 of the course is the same shot with minor variations. Many of the remainder of the holes are long, wooded holes with no clear throwing path-- it's just throw and pray. There are better courses nearby, try them instead.

Scientific American's article, Make Technology–and the World–Frictionless, describes user experience design wonderfully but never calls it that. Actually, they describe the evil opposite of user interface design. They call it friction. Friction is making things harder than they have to be for others: be they your customer, viewers, or constituents. The writer describes examples of friction in both the retail market and politics.
This idea of friction can be expanded much more and I thought of examples in the design of frameworks, coding languages and APIs. There are several ways to add or remove friction for the software developer. One way to lower friction is to make sure that everything makes sense. There are common models for organizing code that attempt to bring an understandable structure to code. Some examples are object oriented, model/view/controller, and service oriented programming. Another way to lessen friction is to reduce the number of magic strings that have to be memorized. This can be done by using constants instead of numbers, strings, or flags that need to be memorized. These constants need to be extremely simple (LogEventLevel.DEBUG) or available via code hinting within the IDE. Another way to reduce friction in programming is to use conventions. If there were twenty Java classes, each with a String property called, title, most of the classes will probably have a getter method, String getTitle(). And most the classes that allow this property to be set will have a setter method, void setTitle(String value).
I consider the language, Perl, to be an example of how friction can be removed from coding. But, perversely enough, the stripping of friction can increase friction. A great way to decrease friction for a person coding in a language is to provide several different ways to accomplish the same task. Perl does that. Another way to help the programmer is to reduce the amount of typing that needs to be done. Perl does that as well by using several implicit variables that don't need to be referenced directly to use. The increase of friction in Perl is when one person has to edit the code someone else has written. The very things that have reduced friction have made it hard to read someone else's code.
I tend to believe that the software architect's role is to Keep It Simple Stupid for the other developers. Many times that means adding complexity to the architecture.
For example, when I write code I try to never trust that someone else's code will do what they are supposed to. For me, that means always verifying the arguments that come into a method. If someone provides null for an argument that really never should be null I throw an illegal argument exception and say which argument is the offender. Not doing that can be a big problem. If a value is not verified, it is easy to pass that same null value into another method, which does the same, which does the same. Finally, an exception is thrown and the programmer ends up with a NullValueException and a long stack trace with no idea what value was the culprit.
There is an art to writing a good framework or API. And a large part of this art is to consider the user experience design. It is not enough to be clever. It has to be usable.

Fattoush (Lebanese "Crumbled Bread" Salad with Sumac and Pita Chips)
(Makes 4 large main-dish salads or 6 small side salads; slightly adapted from recipe sent to me by a reader named Lori. Thanks Lori, I love the salad!)
2 whole wheat pita pocket breads, cut into strips about 3/4 inch wide, then toasted and crumbled
2 heads Romaine lettuce, chopped
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
1 cup diced tomatoes (let drain a minute or two if extra juicy)
1 cup diced cucumber (same size as tomatoes)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley (leaves only, no stems)
optional ingredients: chopped green pepper or radishes (I didn't use either of these but Lori's recipe had green peppers and I saw several recipes that added chopped radishes.)
Dressing Ingredients:
1 tsp. chopped garlic (2-4 cloves garlic)
1 tsp. salt (I used fine grind sea salt)
1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice, about 2 large lemons (I love lemon, so adjust the amount to your own taste)
1 tsp. powdered Sumac, plus more for sprinkling on individual salads if desired)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Remove outer leaves from Romaine, trim stem end, then wash and spin dry or dry with paper towels. Cut Romaine into fourths lengthwise, then turn and chop crosswise into small pieces. (If you have a salad spinner, you can chop the Romaine first, then wash.) Put chopped Romaine into salad bowl large enough toss all ingredients.
Chop tomatoes, green onions, cucumbers, mint, and parsley and add to lettuce. Add about half of the dressing and toss, then add crumbled pita chops and toss again with more dressing. (You may not want all the dressing, but this salad should be quite wet.) At this point the salad should sit for a few minutes (or longer) to let flavors blend and so the pita chips absorb some of the dressing. To serve, arrange salad on individual plates and sprinkle with a bit more Sumac. You can also serve it in a large bowl with the Sumac sprinkled over.
When I first tested the recipe I made enough for two large salads, ate one for dinner, and put the rest in the fridge overnight. I was surprised how great it still tasted the next day, even though the vegetables were fairly wilted. When I made this for guests I tossed the salad together before they arrived, and it was perfect when I served it about 30 minutes later.

HOUSTON - Harris County Sheriff's detectives are searching for the gunman responsible for shooting several people Sunday morning in the parking lot of a popular after-hours night club on FM 1960 near Stuebner-Airline.
Detectives said Timothy Powell, 21, died in parking lot of the La Cave nightclub following a fight that began inside the club around 4:40 am.
"We were in the club, everybody was having fun," said patron Danashea Hampton. "Then they was just fighting and throwing up gang sings and all of a sudden I see the crowd going one way."
Hampton said she then saw bouncers ejecting several people from the club.
"All we just heard were gunshots," said Hampton.
Detectives said by the time deputies arrived, Powell was dead, three more were wounded by gunfire and one man was beaten.
Sergeant Ben Beall told Local 2 there were approximately 600 people inside the club at the time the fight started and no one is certain who was involved in the melee. Beall said club managers at first were reluctant to allow detectives inside the club to review surveillance video, but later acquiesced.
Beall said investigators hope video from inside the club will help pinpoint who may have been involved in the initial fight and subsequent shooting.
Beall also said this is not the first sign of trouble at this business. Beall said there was another shooting in the parking lot of the club the previous weekend, but no one was hit. Last year detectives said a fight that began in the club escalated to a shootout on Stuebner-Airline after several men were thrown out.
"County authorities have been in the process of trying to shut the business down," said Beall.
Beall said because of the size of the crowd inside the club at the time the fight began, investigators with the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office have been asked to determine whether the club violated Occupancy Code by allowing too many people inside at one time.

SOUTH Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) is continuing to take a zero tolerance approach to any form of abuse on its staff after having seen an increase in the number of reported assaults throughout the past 12 months.
Between February 1, 2013 and January 31, 2014 there have been 104 reports of physical abuse to front line crews. The type of injuries staff have received range from cuts and bruising and sprains through to the more serious injuries such as dislocations and fractures.
Out of these 104 reported incidents, 73 have been reported to the police and in 22 cases the patient was arrested. In cases that have resulted in a successful prosecution the sanctions have ranged from a suspended sentence, community service orders, restorative orders and fines. There are also a number of more serious cases still awaiting a court date.
Anne Payne, health, safety and security manager with SWASFT, said: "All reports of violence and aggression towards crews are taken seriously. Where there is sufficient evidence the Trust place a warning marker on the patient's address and sends a letter to the patient regarding their behaviour and the consequences should their behaviour continue."
Since February 1, 2013, 187 letters have been sent to patients.

Went out for about 4 hours today at CB. Mid afternoon and the beach goers showed up in full force. Surfer's were everywhere and everyone was having a good time. I love it when people don't have really aggressive attitudes and just have a good time. The waves were really fun too. Consistently knee to thigh, and if you were in the right spot at the right time, a few of them wedged against the sandbar and jacked up to easily stomach high. I accidentally hit the one dude in the back of the head with my leashless long board, but he didn't seem to upset. I saw 1 stingray, 1 jelly, and there were 2 incidences where the fish started freaking out and jumping a good 50 yards out. That screamed 'shark' to me, but I just tried not to think about it.
Anyways, I had a blast and I'm glad summer is here. As much as I hate tourists, I have to show off to someone.:D

Prize Recipient
Sharon Torres
My name is Sharon Torres, and I am thrilled to be awarded the APS Minority Scholarship for the second year in a row. I am now a senior in the physics department at Johns Hopkins University, currently in the throes of deciding where to attend graduate school. This year saw the conclusion of my first major astrophysical research endeavor, which is in the process of reaching publication. I have since started new work on a nonradiative filament in the same target region as before, the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant. I credit my appetite for physics to my parents, both of whom have careers in science: my mother is in nuclear medicine, and my father (recently retired from the US Army) specializes in health physics and radiation safety. We are of Puerto Rican descent, but as a military family we have lived throughout the US and overseas in the Far East. My parents, as well as my younger brother and sister, have long been the only constants in my life, and it is thanks to their support that I have made it to my final year at JHU. I eagerly anticipate starting the next phase in my pursuit of a career in astrophysics.

If you grew up in New England, a coffee roll needs no explanation. But to my Midwestern mind, this regional staple defies definition. The best I can do is say that it's what would happen if a cinnamon roll, an apple cider donut, and a coffee cake had a baby. An enormous, super sugary baby.
The coffee roll at Kane's Donuts ($8) is a basic yeasted dough that's given a generous coating of cinnamon-sugar and rolled up tight. After it's fried, it's covered with a 1/4-inch layer of frosting with a whole lot more cinnamon and sugar. (You could get the glazed version, but I don't know why you would.) All that frosting makes for a great play in texture. The top develops just the hint of a crust that cracks easily and gives way to a donut that's light, airy, and swirled with cinnamon. On the bottom, there's that deliciously crunchy cross-hatched pattern that hot donuts always acquire after resting on a cooling rack. The whole thing is the size of the hubcap. And really, isn't that what we all want in a donut?

About the author: Kate Shannon is a cheesemonger and former line cook. Although she calls Boston home, she hasn't lost her love for the fried cheese curds and Chicago-style hotdogs of the Midwest. She believes that leftover Thai takeout makes the best lunches and that strawberry shortcake is meant to be breakfast, not dessert.

Between 2008 and 2012, institutions and individuals in Connecticut received $11.1 million from the National Endowment for the Humanities and Connecticut Humanities for projects that explore the human endeavor and preserve our cultural heritage.
Below are some examples.
- Yale University received $700,000 through two grants for a long-term collaborative project to produce a comprehensive edition of Benjamin Franklin's papers and writings. Forty of forty-seven projected volumes have been published, with thirty-seven available online. Papers of Benjamin Franklin is scheduled to be the first completed work of its kind on an American Founder.
- The lack of published primary sources on Connecticut's Native Americans is being addressed by the New England Indian Papers Series, a project of Yale University, the Connecticut State Library, the Connecticut Historical Society, the Massachusetts Archives, and the British National Archives. With the support of a $250,000 grant, these partners are producing a digital archive whose first installment includes 1,471 documents that will be publically available online.
- The Mystic Seaport Museum received a $40,000 grant to plan the 2014 voyage of the Charles W. Morgan, an 1841 whaleship, and an accompanying dockside exhibit, In the Wake of the Whalers. Recently, the museum received a $450,000 grant to implement the plan.
- The Mark Twain House and Museum received a $180,000 grant to host weeklong workshops for eighty teachers, exploring the author's writings in their historical and social contexts.
- With a $235,000 grant, the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center is implementing a fire-safety and climate-control plan for this onetime home of the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin.
- A literary study examining the everyday writings of former slaves during the era of emancipation was the subject of a $50,400 fellowship awarded to Christopher Hager, a professor at Trinity College, Hartford. In 2013, Hager published Word by Word: Emancipation and the Act of Writing.
- As recommended in a conservation assessment, the Bridgeport Public Library received a $6,000 grant to acquire storage cabinets for its collection of circus posters. They are part of a circus history collection that includes the papers of longtime Bridgeport resident P. T. Barnum.
- Leveraging a $500,000 challenge grant, Fairfield University has raised $2 million in private funds to endow a new art museum in the campus's signature building, Bellarmine Hall, which houses a collection focusing on medieval and Renaissance art.
- Connecticut Humanities advises state cultural institutions through their award-winning Heritage Resource Center, which provides online resources for heritage professionals working on audience evaluation, new media, and financial planning.
- Connecticuthistory.org, an award-winning website from Connecticut Humanities, immerses visitors in the history of the Nutmeg State from King Philip's War to the life and career of Noah Webster, with new content every week.

If you have upgraded from Adobe Reader 7 or earlier to Adobe Reader 8 or later, you notice some differences in the PDF behavior. For example,
- Form events not fired in the same order, or with the same frequency (particularly the layout:ready event). As a workaround, you can move the script to another event in Designer (for example, form:ready).
- Text is shifted or clipped
- PDF field values are modified (particularly checkbox and radio-button values)
- Tabbing order is different (read-only fields are included in the tabbing order). As a workaround, set the field property in Designer to "protected" instead of "read-only".
These differences result from a change in the rendering engine in Adobe Reader 8 and later. The rendering engine was redeveloped to improve performance of large dynamic forms (100+ pages). The rendering engine in Adobe Reader 8 and later uses direct or AGM rendering. Some of the changes mentioned above (form events, tabbing order) are side-effects of the rendering engine modifications, and others (text-clipping, field values) are product issues. The side-effects have known workarounds as outlined above, whereas the product issues have been addressed in the subsequent versions of Reader (8.2, and 9.3).
If you encounter other issues not mentioned above, and you want to restore the behavior from Adobe Reader 7, you can use a compatibility flag. The flag instructs the rendering engine to use the legacy engine from version 7. Place the following flag in the XML source:
<?originalXFAVersion http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.4/LegacyRendering:1?>

Hi there
First and formost I want to wish everyone at Sitepoint my best wishes for 2013!!
My niece is due to have an webdesign exam in about a week, and she asked me to check upon her testexam.She has to make the site exactly as seen in restaurant.jpg.Problem is the basic design which she did not do like we should. Although the website looks quite as it should be there are still some problems which honestly I cant solve myself.THat's why I am asking you guys to help out.Homepage.html is what she has right now.This is her css-file which she created in notepad, it's all in the .rar file.She worked with divs into divs, which I like, for some placement issues, she inserted also some tables, because they are more easily positioned.Header, text worked fine, until we have to position the orange textboxes into the pictures.There are two options to get them right:- rewrite the whole site from the beginning (please some advice on the basic startup then please )?- finding how to place the orange textboxes anyways with the current lay-out (My knowledge doesn't reach that far (for now))
Any other advice on how to simplify this site is always welcome.
(note: she made the site on a Mac, so it might be slightly different. Dreamweaver or any other program is forbidden, notepad is the only thing allowed)
Thank you very much in advance!
Kind regardsMaxx-iT
We can help with specific questions on CSS but asking us to do someone's homework isn't really ethical and you would have been better off asking specific general questions without referring to the homework.
I can give you a start with your orange boxes and you would be better off putting the images in the background of the div and then set position:relative on the div to create a local stacking context so that you can absolutely place the orange section to the bottom of that div. You can't nest the p element inside an anchor (only in html5) and you don't need that extra element anyway.
You can reduce the code to this:
.tekst {
background:url(kamers.jpg) no-repeat 0 0;
.tekst a{
color: white;
text-decoration: underline
.img1{background:url(kamers.jpg) no-repeat 0 0}
.img2{background:url(restaurant.jpg) no-repeat 0 0}
.img3{background:url(stadsplan.jpg) no-repeat 0 0}
.img4{background:url(reservaties.jpg) no-repeat 0 0}

Onze kamers

Het restaurant

Stadsplan Gent

Reservaties

That should give you the required result. (There is also no need for the class="tekst" on each div as you can reach those by saying #images div{styles etc..} and save all those extra classes. I would probably have used a list structure instead of all the divs for that section as they are a list of things and then you could style them via ul#images li{styles etc..}.)
Hi there! thanks for the reply!! I really appreciate it. Off course it was not my intention to have the whole job done for her. I just wanted some input on the basic lay-out and a solution for the orange boxes problem. I am not looking for an entire design, but any tips on how to make it better, and improve her/my skills by setting up a basic website is always welcome. I'm sorry if you had the impression I wanted you to do the whole thing :).If you still have any suggestions how to improve the site or basic structure, please feel free. Or just to tell us she is on the right way.
Thanks a lot!Maxx-iT
No Worries
Always run your code through the css and html validators at the w3c to catch typos and any incorrect rules.
You will soon see what needs to be fixed.
e.g.( align: center ) there is no css property called align.
For your navigation use a list structure as bare links next to each other are bad for accessibility.

 Home Hotel Restaurant To do Info & reservatie Over de auteur

It shoudl be something like this:

Link

Link

Link

Link

Much neater and easier to read and more semantic and accessible.
There should really only be one h1 per page (excluding rare exceptions). The other headings should then follow in a logical order and not jump levels (not that you are).
Don't style the html element but rather style the body element instead as that is automatically propagated to the html element anyway and thus gives browsers support to older browsers that use body as the root. All you need to style on the html element is to remove margins and padding otherwise leave it alone.
Other than that the code doesn't look too bad.
[QUOTE=Paul O'B;5279013]Hi,
Got the code to work and filtered some stuff out of the rest. I still have one problem with the code above: the links inside the orange boxes can't be underlined, but have a border-bottom. However I can't seem to find a way in your code to fix this. If I apply the border-bottom to the .tekst a, I get a border on the orange box and not under the text.Is there a way to fix this, without making extra classes again?
Why do you want a border-bottom.?
Links are naturally underlined with text-decoration:underline as in my above code. Don't alter the default behaviour of the browser - just let it do what it knows best. text-decoration:underline is fine.
If you really must use a border then you will need t nest a span inside the anchor like so:

Onze kamers

.tekst a{text-decoration: none}
.tekst a span{border-bottom:1px solid #fff;padding:0 0 2px}
Be aware that you may confuse users if you move the border too far away as they won't know if its a link or a border as they are used to links with underlines hugging the link and not positioned at some distance.
It's an assignment of the teacher apparantly :-). I don't mind the underlining aswell, but hey that's what university is for I guess :D.
Thanks heaps!
The teacher should know better
The web is built on links and you shouldn't really mess with them for aesthetic purposes. Browsers will naturally vary where they place the text-decoration:underline and trying to control this position exactly is futile and resorting to using borders instead is not really a viable solution for all links. However as an exercise in coding then its ok but may have the drawback of encouraging pupils to think that this is how you do it for all links.
My pleeg-brother-in-law was in game design class and they had a class with web design too (something to do with, game designers learning to market their stuff or something...).
Teacher had everyone use some ancient version of DreamWeaver, and everything was covered in  tags. University == crap when it comes to web anything. She can do it for class, but don't let her think it's actually good or correct. Teacher and course is at least 10 years out of date.

Live CD
From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
The term Live CD, or LiveCD or Live-CD refers to a CD or another medium (such as USB stick) that contains an operating system that can be booted without installation. This can happen because operating files are placed into temporary memory instead of being located permanently on the hard disk. It is a handy method to demonstrate a new OS without having to install it.
MEPIS provides a LiveCD that is combined with an installer, and was the first Linux distribution to do so.
The Passwords for the MEPIS LiveCD are demo or root. For more information on the LiveCD, see section 3.3 of the User's Manual.

Week in Accessories: Lace
The pastel, paisley babydoll frock Chloë Sevigny chose for a screening of Lawless could easily veer too saccharine if it weren't for the edgy accessories. The girly dress is grounded by black leather ankle boots and a matching satchel, giving the feminine shape a downtown edge befitting a modern New York icon.

BWW Blog: Peter Stafford Wilson - A Century of Spring
Igor Stravinsky's epic, The Rite of Spring, celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. Stories of its eventful premiere on May 29, 1913 in the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris are legendary. A veritable riot erupted in the theatre, more the result of Vaslav Nijinsky's choreography than Stravinsky's music (or Pierre Monteux's conducting). Insults were shouted from the audience, slapping and punching took place, it must have been quite an evening. And the Parisians' reaction was, I suppose, predictable. Graphic depiction of pagan Russia was hardly what the audience was expecting, and Stravinsky's primitively pulsating music full of angular harmonics and orchestral histrionics was more than the proper public could tolerate.
This year, Ballet companies all over the planet will celebrate with performances of the iconic work. The Columbus Symphony and BalletMet will team up for a collaborative effort with all participants on stage at the Ohio Theater. Carolina Performing Arts is creating a year long celebration including a wonderful blog with all sorts of interesting activities. And Boosey&Hawkes, the publisher of the work has announced the publication of a facsimile edition not only of the full score, but Stravinsky's own piano reduction, as well as a collection of scholarly essays on the piece. I have long been fascinated with the exploration of such editions as they give wonderful insight into the craft of a particular composer. There no doubt are recording projects (I still prefer the Boulez recording), and tours of the work (The Joffrey has appeared with it in a number of major cities), and countless performances of the score by orchestras of all shapes and sizes.
The Rite of Spring, much like the Ninth Symphony of Beethoven, changed the course of musical composition. Stravinsky taught us much with this work. He stretched the notions of orchestration (the bassoon is barely recognizable at the beginning of the piece) which has evolved as quickly as the technical prowess of instrumentalists. He also gave us a lesson in unique combinations of instruments that could meld into a new, compelling sound. His use of rhythm inspired composers and performers to explore new realms in complexity in the division of the beat. His use of form encouraged his successors to question the existing limits of architecture and explore new designs. A remarkable piece of music by any standards.
I recall hearing it for the first time, as a backdrop to animated pre-historic animals in Walt Disney's Fantasia. The piece fascinates me every time I hear it, and I marvel at its complexity every time I take a trip through the printed score.
Happy Birthday, Rite! And many happy returns.
