The entire list
Ekin TV, 12 January 2009
ADNAN OKTAR: Everything has its expert, doesn't it? A bakery has its master baker. There are expert metalworkers. LIKEWISE THERE ARE EXPERT LEADERS. THAT IS THE TURKISH NATION. TURKEY IS THE LEADING COUNTRY IN THE TURKISH-ISLAMIC WORLD. A leader always has to make his position crystal clear. Seeking a leader causes strife and corruption. The leader has to stand out and be right there. And that is Turkey's right. The sacred relics are also in Turkey. And we have the experience. Thanks be to Allah we have a well-educated, intellectual work force with great taqwa. We are a highly rational nation. WE ARE A MODEST, COMPASSIONATE AND LOVING NATION THAT IS WELL ABLE TO WITHSTAND SUFFERING. WE ARE A NATION THAT DELIGHT IN SERVICE AND IN HUMAN HAPPINESS. WE STILL STRIVE TO BRING PEACE AND RECONCILIATION WHEREVER WE GO. THEY CALL ON US WHEREVER WE GO. Come and mediate between us. Israel and Syria are calling on us. Algeria is calling on us. Why? Because they know we are the natural leader. So Turkey should assume the leadership, we will say. The Turkic states are one nation that has been artificially divided. We are one family, and this is a family affair. We have turned to this matter, the Turkish-Islamic Union, as a family. Of course we will join together with the Turkish world, with our brothers, our own family, and with the whole Islamic world to embrace and protect our family. Who else can we do that with? There is a powerful, healthy, sincere, candid, courageous and altruistic nation, one that demands to serve.WE SAY WE WANT TO SERVE. WE WILL SERVE. WE WILL BE THE SERVANT OF THE ISLAMIC WORLD. That is it. But we do not say there is an extraordinary superiority in our genes. We do not claim to be superior in terms of blood or race. We believe that Allah creates everyone equally. But we are an eligible nation in terms of moral values and taqwa, and of administrative skills. That is evident. There can be no objection to that. It is there for all to see, even children can see it. AND IT IS NOT JUST US WHO SAY IT, BUT THE WHOLE ISLAMIC WORLD. THEY SAY COME AND BE THE LEADER. WE DID NOT CLAIM THAT FOR OURSELVES. THEY SAY IT THEMSELVES. AND WE HAVE THE RELICS. WE ARE THE CONTINUATION OF THE OTTOMANS, INSHA'ALLAH. THAT IS WHY WE WILL STRIVE TO FULFILL THIS GREAT TASK.
Kıbrıs Ada TV, 1 August 2008
Adnan Oktar: If you could see, you would not be able to recognize the Turkey of the future. In the true sense of the word, it wıll be the super state of the region. As a consequence, Israel will be saved, Armenia will be relieved and so will Palestine. Israel will attain unprecedented peace and security. The Palestine problem will be radically resolved. TURKEY IS THE KEY POINT TO ALL THIS AND THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEMAND. In other words, Iraq demands it; Iraq demands to unite with Turkey. So does Syria; it wants to unite with Turkey and it demands the administration of Turkey. But of course states will be separate. They want Turkey to take the lead as a spiritual leader.
It is essential to listen to Turkey For success in Middle East
U.S Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Senator John F. Kerry,, told that Turkey has a key role in the Middle East. Kerry who spoke in the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace , an international affairs think tank, expressed that Turkey is a stunning example of progress. He also added:
" I think Turkey has the ability to play one of the key roles in this transformation as well as in the Middle East peace process. So I listen to Turkey very closely. I listen to its leaders. And I think we need to work with them very closely in these next months to help make this process effective," ."

Sneak peek: SAAM 2013
Can you believe it's December? I can, but only because SAAM had a November to remember! The fall is always one of the busiest times of our campaign planning schedule, but it's also when we start to see the tangible evidence of all our planning efforts. Within the month, drafts became resources, proofs became products, and designs moved into production. What does this all mean? It means I can share a sneak peek of what will be online and in mailboxes this January for SAAM 2013.
SAAM 2013 resources will once again be available on a resource CD and online. I know what you are thinking, "Aren't CDs the red velvet cake of technology?" So 2009! What makes this resource CD is special is that it's packaged in an informative brochure and launches just like a website. Sure, many of us are content to open our browsers, but the SAAM CD really is an easy-to-use, one-stop-shop for all the campaign materials. You can hold it, share it and you can tell from the pictures it's a beaut! Request a free copy here: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Piermaria J. Oddone
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
"For his insightful proposal to use an asymmetric B-Factory to carry out precision measurements of CP violation in B-meson decays, and for his energetic leadership of the first conceptual design studies that demonstrated the feasibility of this approach."Background:
Dr. Pier Oddone serves as the Deputy Director of the Berkeley Lab, responsible for scientific programs. As part of his charge he oversees major Laboratory initiatives and strategic planning.
Dr. Oddone was director of the Physics Division at Berkeley Lab from 1987 through 1991. In 1987, he proposed the ides of using an Asymmetric B-factory to study the violation of CP symmetry in the decay of B-mesons. Two such facilities were built, one at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and one at the KEK, the Japanese particle accelerator laboratory. Experiments at these facilities led to the first observation of CP violation in B meson decays.
In the late seventies and early eighties, Dr. Oddone was a member of the team that developed the first Time Projection Chamber (TPC). This technology was subsequently used for many particle and nuclear physics experiments. He led the TPC collaboration from 1984 to 1987.
Dr. Oddone was born in Peru. He obtained his BS degree in Physics at MIT in 1965 and his PhD in Physics at Princeton in 1970. He was a postdoctoral fellow at Caltech until 1972 when he joined the Berkeley Lab. Dr. Oddone is a fellow of the American Physical Society.

Did you know?
Shortly after his release in from prison in 1990, Nelson Mandela laid a wreath on Langalibalele's grave near Estcourt.
Ah, Giant's Castle at the end of a long winter. The russet-toned land is sleeping. There is a great silence, punctuated only by the distant call of an elusive bearded vulture.
These Drakensberg ridges are lined with snow, and the lower sandstone hills are a study in sepia. The air is cold, and there is a chill on your exposed cheeks.
This place, like most of the Drakensberg range, was once the domain of the San (also known as Bushmen). Their exquisite artwork adorns many caves and overhangs in these mountains, and is one of the major reasons, apart from its natural beauty, that the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park was declared a World Heritage Site.
Near Giant's Castle is a passage once called the Bushman's Pass, which the San used to cross back and forth from Lesotho. It has been renamed Langalibalele Pass.
Langalibalele (which means 'the sun is boiling hot' in Zulu) was chief of the amaHlubi, an Nguni group. Many of the Hlubi men worked in the diamond fields of Kimberley, and instead of being paid in cash, they were given firearms.
The British colonial government in the then-Natal ordered the Hlubi people to register their firearms. Langalibalele baulked at this directive and hostilities were declared.
He decided to take his people over the Bushman's Pass into Lesotho.
Major Anthony Durnford led the colonial forces trying to prevent this passage. The skirmish that ensued on 3 November 1873 was chaotic, and left five colonial soldiers dead.
There were massive reprisals by the British, and on 11 December 1873, Langalibalele surrendered. He was sentenced to life imprisonment on Robben Island.
In 1875 he was transferred to Uitvlug Farm near Pinelands in Cape Town and was held there for 12 years.
In 1887 he was sent to the Swartkop location near Pietermaritzburg and was held under house arrest for another two years until his death.
These days hikers make their way up from the Giant's Castle Camp to the historic Langalibalele Pass.
On their way, they will encounter 'Rock 75', a large boulder with the number 75 painted on it by members of the 75th Regiment Royal Engineers involved in the so-called 'Langalibalele Rebellion'.
Further on, they come to the Main Caves Bushman Museum, which has a reconstructed display of a San family going about their daily business. There are very good examples of San rock art in the area.
In the words of the late South African painter, Walter Battiss, who was one of the first to champion the importance of San rock art: 'No artist has said more, saying less ...'

How to get here
Visitors coming from the north should turn off the N3 into Estcourt. At the intersection of Conner and Lorne streets, turn on to the Ntabamhlope road and follow the signs to Giant's Castle.
Visitors from the south should turn off the N3 into Mooi River, go through the town and follow the Giant's Castle signs to the reserve 64km away.
Best time to visit
Giant's Castle is superb all year round: fantastic snowfalls in winter (June to August) and a blooming landscape in summer (November to February). You might want to avoid both extremes, however. Check weather reports for blizzards and heat spikes.
Around the area
The lush KwaZulu-Natal Midlands are approx. 100km away – an excellent day-drive option. Enjoy lunch at one of the many fine restaurants on the Midlands Meander and pick a guest house or hotel to stay in.
Tours to do
Champagne breakfasts, barbeques and sundowners at the Lammergeyer Hide (vulture restaurant); visits to the Main Caves Bushman Museum and San rock-art shelter, with over 450 rock art paintings – the guided tour costs R30 per person; organised trips to Kamberg 'Pass Shelter', regarded as one of finest rock art shelters in the world.
Get around
The best way to get around the Drakensberg locations is by driving yourself or on a guided tour from centres such as Johannesburg or Durban.
What will it cost
Daily visitor entry to the Giant's Castle Nature Reserve: R30 for adults, R15 for children.
The reserve's chalet prices range from about R1100 for two people staying in a two-person unit to R3400 for a six-sleeper unit, depending on the size of the chalet.
Length of stay
Giant's Castle warrants a three-day visit. Stay in the area for a week if you can, and visit the Midlands Meander and/or other destinations in the Drakensberg.
What to pack
Pack seasonally for the outdoors – and even if you come in summer, bring something warm for the odd chilly evening.
Where to stay
Giant's Castle Camp has chalets of different sizes, including a 'honeymoon unit', which has a very private setting with a lovely view of the mountains. All units are equipped with satellite TV.
There are also a number of private lodges and guest houses outside the reserve.
What to eat
Giant's Castle Camp has a restaurant providing full catering, and many guest houses in the area pride themselves on their menus, which are full and varied.
Best buys
Some exquisite craft objects like fine pottery or silverware along the Midlands Meander.

The Frenchman has spent the last six years at the Allianz Arena but is hoping to sign a new deal to keep him at the club beyond 2015
Having joined the Bavarian giants from Olympique de Marseille in 2007, the 30-year-old has since become a key player at the Allianz Arena, and had stated before that he would be willing to retire at the German club.
And while the Frenchman still has a deal until June 2015, he insists he wants to open up talks over a new contract.
"I'd be glad to [sign a new contract], I'm very happy here," the Frenchman told Kicker.
"If it's possible to sign a new contract? Why not?"
Ribery has scored nine goals in his 39 appearances in all competitions this season, setting up a further 14.

Katie's Healthy Bites: Dill-lectable Delightsby Katie Cavuto-Boyle in Uncategorized, June 7, 2010
For the past few weeks, I have been inspired by the herbs of the season and dill is one herb you shouldn't miss. This fragrant, grassy herb looks elegant in my garden with its lacy feather-like leaves gracefully blowing in the wind.
Dill is well-known for the perfection it achieves when paired with a pickle, but this in-season herb has a variety of uses, from salads to sauces and pairings with proteins.
All About Dill
Historically, dill was used as a multipurpose herb. The name originates from the Norse word "dilla" which means "to lull," hinting at its ability to cure insomnia or sooth a tummy ache. Medicinal, maybe? Delightfully delicious, for sure!
Dill Weed or Dill Seed?
The frilly dill weed originates from the plant's leaves grown in early spring. Cooking dill weed destroys the flavor, so add fresh or dried dill to cold salads and dips, or as a finisher for heated soups, grilled fish or roasted veggie dishes.
Later in the growing season, the plants produce a flowering fruit — dill seed. It's much stronger and more pungent than the leaves. Heat only amplifies the bitter flavor. This makes it the perfect addition to baked breads, savory pastries.
Sowing the Seeds
These sun-loving plants can be grown in your garden or in pots. Choose containers 10 inches high to accommodate its deep-reaching roots.
You can start picking the fresh leaves right before the plant begins to bloom. If you prefer dill seed, allow the flowers to develop and go to seed. Cut the flowering heads when a majority of seeds have formed (2 to 3 weeks after the blossoming begins). Place a bundle of the within a paper bag. Hang the seed heads upside-down by their stems, and shake to feel when the mature seeds have fallen.
After planting my own herb garden, I quickly realized that fresh dill can give a playful tang to my restaurant's dishes. The taste of it — freshly plucked — provides a zesty, crisp and refreshing addition to many a dish!
Here are a few recipes that spotlight this herbs fabulous flavor:
Dill Yogurt and Cucumber Dip
• 2 cups fat free plain Greek yogurt
• 1 English cucumber, halved, seeded and sliced thinly
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Aug 16, 2013.
QuestionHubby and I are both veterans, so we are using our benefits to purchase a brand new home. We qualify for zero down, and the builder is paying the closing costs. My question is...I'm a little confused on how the escrow works for homeowners insurance. Do I need to come to closing with the full premium amount that will be put in escrow and then paid by the escrow attorney''s to the lenders. I can't seem to get a good answer, and the insurance companies won't give me a quote yet because it''s still too far out (4 months) until the house is completed and we go through closing. I just want to be prepared on what we need to bring to the table when we close.
Each lender will have different requirements, however, generally you will pay the annual premium in advance at closing. Then you will begin making payments into the escrow account equal to one twelfth of the annual premium. This will enable the mortgage company to have the estimated annual premium paid before it is due a next year. Your escrow payment will also include real estate taxes as well as the payment for the homeowners'' insurance.
The lender should provide you with an estimate of what you will need at closing under the truth in lending laws.

Not a bad risk for the Panthers. If he can get back to playing the way he did early in his career, it could be a good pickup. Of course, he could put up 65 points and cost them big to keep but i think they'd be ok with that.

LAGOS, Nigeria - Fugitive day care owner Jessica Tata, charged in the deaths of four children in a February day care fire in Houston, is behind bars in Nigeria according to her family, KPRC Local 2 News confirmed on Saturday.
Tata, 22, is charged with federal unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. She is also charged with four counts of manslaughter in Harris County District Court, which allows extradition proceedings to bring her back to Houston, Local 2 News reported.
Extradition experts told Local 2 Investigates that the four manslaughter charges allow extradition from Nigeria.
Her mother told KPRC Local 2 that Tata turned herself in to Nigerian police authorities Saturday morning.
Tata is accused of going shopping and leaving children alone in her day care on Houston's west side on Feb. 24. A fire broke out on the kitchen stove of the day care, where oil had been left on the burner, according to Houston Fire Department Arson Squad investigators.
Investigators said she was shopping at a nearby Target store while the kids in her day care were left alone.
She was captured on security cameras at Target leaving the store just five minutes before she arrived home and found the day care in flames. The first 911 call then came in to HFD.
Local 2 News first reported her arrest on the air just after noon Saturday.
HFD Arson Squad investigators told Local 2 Investigates they were awaiting formal word from the U.S. State Department, so that proceedings can get under way to bring her back to Houston with assistance from U.S. marshals.

Hi everyone and thanks for your time and responses.
So, here in this website: http://bit.ly/pOXOGe when you open it, top menu will not be in its appropriate place in IE.For some reason, menu looks wider than it should be. However, it works fine with other browsers.
CSS I used for that menu is:
.menu {
margin: 13px;
padding-left: 0;
list-style: none;
.menu li {
padding: 0;
height: 35px;
margin-right: 0;
list-style: none;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
.menu li a, .menu li a:visited {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
text-indent: -9999px;
height: 35px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
.log a {background-image: url(images/menu/log.png); width: 192px; height:35px}
.log {background-image: url(images/menu/log.png); width: 192px; height:35px}
.ev a {background-image: url(images/menu/ev_esas.png); width: 111px; height:35px}
.ev {background-image: url(images/menu/ev_ust.png);}
.openq a {background-image: url(images/menu/sual_esas.png); width: 115px; height:35px}
.openq {background-image: url(images/menu/sual_ust.png);}
.topuser a {background-image: url(images/menu/qabaq_esas.png); width: 113px; height:35px}
.topuser {background-image: url(images/menu/qabaq_ust.png);}
.popularq a {background-image: url(images/menu/meshur_esas.png); width: 111px; height:35px}
.popularq {background-image: url(images/menu/meshur_ust.png);}
.qeydiyyat a {background-image: url(images/menu/qeyd_esas.png); width: 114px; height:35px}
.qeydiyyat {background-image: url(images/menu/qeyd_ust.png);}
.haqq a {background-image: url(images/menu/haqq_esas.png);}
.haqq {background-image: url(images/menu/haqq_ust.png); width: 116px; height:35px}
ul.menu li a:hover {background: none;}
.menu li {float: left;}
.menu:after {content: "."; display: block; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden;}
for the area it is staying:
margin: 0px auto;
text-align: center;
text-align: left;
height: 122px;
margin:0px auto;
Can you see the reason??
Hi Welcome to Sitepont :).
It looks as though menu is snagging on the float above.
Try this:
.menu {clear:both}
Thanks for your prompt response. I went for something like this
.menu {
margin: 13px;
padding-left: 0;
list-style: none;
and it did not work.
I tried same for :
.menu li a, .menu li a:visited {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
text-indent: -9999px;
height: 35px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
and now it looked shrinked after applying it. Please let me know if you see the reason behind.
I have it working locally with the code I have you and it works fine (as my code always does :)).
Revert to the rule I gave you and upload again in case there is some other issue you introduced since I gave you the fix.
Remove that as it has nothing to do with it.
You're right master. It worked. One question, is there any difference between these two?
.menu {clear:both}
.menu {
margin: 13px;
padding-left: 0;
list-style: none;
.menu {
margin: 13px;
padding-left: 0;
list-style: none;
Thank you again.
Yes in the second version you forgot the trailing semi colon after clear:both; which is why it didn't work for you the first time around
.menu {
margin: 13px;
padding-left: 0;
list-style: none;
Otherwise there is no difference and you should of course amalgamate the rules as above.
You're right. There's also "behavior" I use in css which also seem not working. Opera dragon fly returned that the path is incorrect. However, path is fine. I use htc file to give rounded corners/borders to the boxes in IE versions. Do you know how can I fix this problem?
Your doctype is tripping quirks mode.
Try this one:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
I do have it on top of header.php and I also tried to put this into htacce
AddType text/x-component .htc
AddHandler text/x-component .htc
did not help. can not still get rounded corners in IE9
No, your doctype is not the same as mine there's a strange character in it somewhere. As you can see from the validator it doesn't like it. Maybe you are outputting a BOM if you have it added via php or something.
Browsers are being tripped into quirks mode and IE in quirks mode behaves much like ie5. Ie9 won't do border radius in quirks mode or any of the other new things that it knows about.
Fix the doctype first and then we can look at other issues.
Do you mean something like this?  or when it is not copied and pasted something like this n>>i??
I quick googled it, i found it to be blank space issue. Im looking for a solution now.
Try removing your doctype completely and any spaces that you have around it then copy and paste my code from above to replace it just to make sure you haven't got a weird character in the doctype itself. The validator says your doctype has a BOM when I copy it locally and test but my one doesn't.
I found one blank space, but finding it hard to find 2nd space I found that it is not doctype since i call it from php
so it basically does this : <?php get_header(); ?> and in header.php the first line is <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
Fixed it, and corners finally appeared. You're right, just enlightened me with BOM.. I had seen it before, but re-doublechecked essential php files in different directory and I found out I do have BOM. How do I avoid getting BOM?? It usually happens when I save in DW and upload to FTP.
Thank you very much!
Now some windows floated away. Do I have to go back to css and edit?
Yes the page is in standards mode now and you will have to check your css as things will be different.
Make sure you clear your floats and don't put heights on boxes buut let the content dictate the height where possible.
#loginbox {
background-color: #9ABEE0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
border: 1px solid #3473AE;
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
/*height: 195px; height not needed and is too short anyway */
margin-bottom: 15px;
margin-top: 15px;
overflow: hidden;/* clear the floats*/
width: 263px;
thank you Mr. Paul. I will consider your css directions. By the way, when using auto-caching, what do you usually put time as?
Mine is following:
# Expire images header
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault A0
ExpiresByType image/gif A1728000
ExpiresByType image/png A1728000
ExpiresByType image/jpg A1728000
ExpiresByType image/jpeg A1728000
ExpiresByType image/ico A1728000
ExpiresByType text/css A1728000
And, do you know why validator gives me such an error:
Error Line 197, Column 59: document type does not allow element "li" here; missing one of "ul", "ol", "menu", "dir" start-tag
And when I use firebug and speedtest my website, it gives this error:
The following images served from problem.az should be combined into as few images as possible using CSS sprites. What should I do with them? I already optimized and now wants me to CSS Sprite them.
That's because you have missed the opening and closing uls for the list here:

There should be a ul to start that lis and to finish it at the end.

... etc ...
Sprites save on repeated calls to the server and can speed up your site. Whether you use them or not depends on the situation but they can make things a little more complex to work with sometimes. There are sprite tools around.
I will consider your css directions. By the way, when using auto-caching, what do you usually put time as?
That's a question for another part of the forum really as its not css related. There are some tips here but for an in-depth discussion I would ask the question in the relevant forum on Sitepoint.
I see. Thanks for your help Mr. Paul. How may I center my copyright text at the bottom?

Commencement and H1N1 Flu
Submitted on behalf of David E. Newman, M.D., director of the Hammond Health Center at Ithaca College.
As we approach Commencement 2009, the nationwide number of H1N1 Influenza cases continues to rise but disease severity remains low. There have been no cases at IC, in Ithaca or in Tompkins County so far. The most recent guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), on May 6, is similar to that for seasonal flu and focuses on preventing spread.
"On the basis of what is currently known about the ongoing spread of novel influenza A (H1N1) and, as a means to prevent the further spread of disease on and off campus, universities should encourage persons with influenza-like illness to stay home and away from large gatherings. Persons who are sick, should be instructed to limit their contact with other people as much as possible and to stay home for 7 days after their symptoms begin or until they have been symptom-free for 24 hours, whichever is longer. In addition, they should be reminded to use appropriate respiratory and hand hygiene. Gatherings may include graduations and commencement activities, concerts, sporting events, and other gatherings where close contact is likely between a large number of attendees."
-- Interim CDC Guidance for Colleges, Universities, and Post-secondary Educational Institutions in Response to Human Infections with Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Virus; May 6, 2009
We look forward to a joyous celebration for our graduates and their families and friends on May 17. Neither the CDC nor our state or local health departments recommend cancellation or limiting attendance. Should that advice change, we will notify the campus community.
However, if you are planning to attend Commencement but are ill with influenza-like symptoms -- fever accompanied by cough, headache, muscle pain, sore throat, and runny nose -- we request that you consider whether the CDC's advice applies to your circumstances. Discussing your symptoms and attendance plans with your health care provider or local health department might be helpful.
Live web coverage of Commencement will start at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 17, and may be viewed at /.

The "Munsters" Could Return to Television. Why?
File this under WHO WANTED THIS! We all know The Munsters is a campy television program from the 1960's. The show was bland, not usually funny, & sort of a homeless version of the The Addams Family. The original worked okay AT BEST, the late 80's The Munsters Today didn't work at all. Yet with no evidence anyone wanted it, NBC has ordered a pilot of a re-imagined version of the television program.

A NAVY veteran is set to return to the water for an altogether different battle.
Former submariner Craig Howorth spent six years serving in Russia and the Falklands, but his latest challenge will take place a lot closer to home.
The 46-year-old – who lost part of his right leg after a bike accident – will join three other amputees to swim the English Channel in September.
The four swimmers, who all have military backgrounds, will brave bitterly cold sea temperatures to help raise money for the British Limbless Ex-Servicemen's Association.
Mr Howorth, from Bacup, has been preparing for the 22.5-mile relay by swimming in Salford Quays.
He said: "Getting used to the water temperature is going to be the biggest problem.
"With the tide the Channel becomes more like 30 or 40 miles and it's going to be so cold. We're aiming to do it in 13 hours – that's the average time.
"The temperature could cause problems with our stumps. They don't have as much circulation as able-bodied limbs."
Mr Howorth, who was in the Royal Navy from 1988 to 1995, had his right leg amputated below the knee after an accident at Lee Quarry in 2004 which left him with a broken back.
The father-of-four, now a trail leader at Military Mountain Bikers, based in Stubbylee Lane, said swimming was key to his rehabilitation.
"Swimming was the only thing I could do," he said. "I started to walk and took it from there.
"I'm probably fit enough to do the swim. I'm in Rossendale Triathlon Club and swam Coniston Water recently."
The swim is likely to take place on September 21, although they have a week-long window in which to complete depending on the weather. To sponsor Mr Howorth, visit www.justgiving. com/Stephen-White12.

The Crap We Missed – Tuesday 5.21.13
Welcome to Tuesday's The Crap We Missed which, after today, will be compiled by my kid. It was a decision made after long thought about his skills and abilities like not having to live in our pool house anymore. And he's smart, yes of course, that too, but I digress. Today's gallery includes Alec Baldwin, virile man of youthful strength, Prince Harry about to fistfight an infant, mini Ron Burgundy, and this woman experiencing the perplexing sensation of her uterus suddenly filling up with fetuses.
I'm kidding about that 'my kid' stuff up there. Through psychoanalysis, I've learned that me fathering children would just be a disaster for everyone involved,

"Like most Persian ash, this is a very thick soup, and it satisfies even the biggest appetites. Unlike other ash, ash-e reshteh does not include rice, but has noodles. The combination of all the beans, greens and noodles makes a very addicting meal. It is totally a warm hug in a bowl," says food blogger Laura Bashar of FamilySpice.com. The noodles are considered lucky because they symbolize longevity, she adds.
Ash-e reshteh is an ancient dish that dates back thousands of years in Iran. "It used to be thickened with wheat flour and water, then the flour and water became simple dumplings that were dropped into the soup. By A.D. 500 the dumplings had been stretched into reshteh, Persian for "noodles," and that's the form of the soup that we know today," says cookbook author Louisa Shafia. Louisa loves the contrasting textures, colors and flavors of the soup. "With four different kinds of beans, leafy greens, noodles, yogurt and fried onions, every spoonful promises a treat. The strands of noodles represent the winding path of life," she says. The soup is considered good luck not only for the new year but, she says, is also traditionally served at important occasions like the departure of a loved one on a long journey, or at the anniversary of a happy occasion. "The soup cooked on these special days is believed to have unusual powers. If you eat it, and especially if you help to make it, the legend suggests that your wish is likely to come true," Louisa says.
The traditional soup is topped with a Persian ingredient called kashk, a form of whey. If you cannot find it, you can top the soup with yogurt to get the tanginess and fat.
Oh, but before you make soup for Nowruz, know that Persians celebrate Chahr Shambe Souri (Red Wednesday) on the last Wednesday of the Iranian year, just before Nowruz. "On this day, it is considered good luck to jump over a fire to rid of any evil omens lingering about you," says Laura.
Yes, over the fire and then it's on to the soup!
Persian New Year's Soup With Beans, Noodles and Herbs (Ash-e Reshteh)
Adapted from Louisa Shafia, Lucid Food: Cooking for an Eco-Conscious Life (Ten Speed Press, 2009)
Cook 2 hours 45 minutes
Yield Serves 6 to 8
Level Easy
1/2 cup dried chickpeas
1/4 cup dried kidney beans
1/2 cup dried fava beans or 1 1/2 cups frozen lima beans, thawed
3 yellow onions
7 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 cup dried lentils
10 cups vegetable or chicken stock (or more if you want your soup thinner)
1 small handful fresh mint leaves, torn into pieces
6 ounces thin egg noodles or linguine, broken into thirds
1 large bunch leafy greens such as chard or spinach, stemmed and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup minced fresh dill
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/2 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 cups plain yogurt
Start this recipe the night before, to soak the chickpeas, kidneys beans and fava beans. Boil them in 4 cups water for 1 minute, then turn off the heat and add a splash of apple cider vinegar. Cover the pot and let them soak overnight.
Dice 1 of the onions. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add 1/4 cup of the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, kidney beans and fava beans, and add them to the onion along with 4 of the garlic cloves, the turmeric and the lentils. Sauté for 1 minute. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Boil the beans, covered, for 1 hour.
Tilt the lid so the pot is partially covered and simmer, stirring occasionally, for another 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt.
Meanwhile, slice the remaining 2 onions into thin half moons. Heat a sauté pan over high heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onions and fry, stirring frequently, until the onions are brown and caramelized. Add the remaining garlic and the mint, and sauté for 1 minute. Season with salt and set aside.
Add the lima beans (if using) and noodles to the soup, and cook until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. When the noodles are almost done, add the greens, dill, cilantro and parsley, and cook for 2 minutes.
Serve with a large dollop of yogurt and a few tablespoons of the sautéed onion mixture.

Did you know?
By the time mining activities at Kimberley's Big Hole stopped in 1914, 2 722kg of diamonds had been extracted from 22,5-million tons of excavated earth.
Exotic lunar landscapes, unique flora and fauna and fascinating traditional cultures are just some of the fascinating characteristics that make up the Northern Cape province.
Largely desert and semi desert, the province is also very popular with those who love the great outdoors. The Northern Cape's unique biodiversity attracts worldwide attention and its national parks are some of the finest to be found in Southern Africa.
Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape is known as the Diamond Capital of the world – and the Big Hole is a major attraction that pays tribute to a turbulent past obsessed with diamonds and obscene overnight fortunes.
On the other side of the historical spectrum, The San, known as Africa's 1st People, provide a fascinating insight into life in this harsh landscape and the Northern Cape is known for its rock-art, precious artefacts and fossils that date back to time immemorial.
Get your timing right and visit Namaqualand during spring when thousands upon thousands of colourful flowers spread across the landscape to welcome in the warmer weather. Combine a flower safari with a trip to the Augrabies Falls National Park, Africa's second-largest waterfall and something of an adventure-lovers utopia.
This part of the world provides a very real South African experience, so if you're looking for a conference or meeting that combines the great outdoors, exciting adventures, a fascinating heritage and an array of venue choices then look no further than the Northern Cape.

An outdoor-loving librarian's Christmas Day walk in the Washburn Valley has raised £850 for charity.
Nicky Busby, who has been fundraising for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) for the past three years, decided to do something different for her annual sponsored winter walk in 2013.
So on December 25 she headed to one of her favourite valleys and hiked around Swinsty, Fewston and Thruscross reservoirs.
Nicky, a high-school librarian from Leeds and a keen photographer, was recently chosen to be the 'face' of Ordnance Survey's Explore More marketing campaign.
So she is also hoping her latest venture will encourage more people to head to the valley and other parts of the local countryside, armed with their maps.
She said: "I have got to know the RNLI Humber team, based at the very tip of Spurn Point on the Holderness Coast, really well – and David Steenvoorden, the chief coxswain and station manager, is always most welcoming when I deliver my annual funds.
"I always do a solo hike in December, from sunrise to sunset, to raise funds for them. But this year I wanted to do something different.
"I guessed that if I were to give up my Christmas Day then people would be more likely to sponsor me, so I would raise more money for this worthy charity.
"I also have a huge passion for the Washburn Valley so I decided to hike around three of the four reservoirs.
"The valley is a beautiful part of Yorkshire that is accessible for all and it's a great starting point for people who would like to get into walking or hiking."
The 37-year-old received a welcome surprise as she set off on her Christmas Day trek when she was greeted by a Twitter follower, Addingham resident Julie Benson, who presented her with a gift and cracker.
Nicky said: "I'm always amazed at the huge support I get from people. This certainly made my morning.
"In total I raised £850 – this would not have been possible without the support from my family, friends and Twitter followers who were all very generous with donations to my justgiving page."
Over the last three years Nicky has raised £2,500 for the RNLI.
Of the RNLI, Nicky added: "I am full of admiration for the lifeboat volunteers – they are heroes.
"They are ordinary individuals who find the strength and endurance to persevere regardless of the overwhelming obstacles. You never know when you might need them!"

Working in Blogger.After 100+ posts I was running out ideas for new topics that would make worthwhile articles and began re-posting. There are some drawbacks but I think it's working ok for me and the alternative is quitting.I have removed posts I didn't like and then rewritten them 6 months later but the most satisfaction comes from rewriting an existing article, in a text file, and keeping the title and top part similar. Generally a 500-600 word post results in a 900-1200 word article with things said that I wish I had said originally. When complete I edit the Blogger post and change the date to today in Post Options, and then re-post it.
A post on re-posting that I need to re-post.
It's still a struggle.
I think that you are tempting disaster. I think that you could just invite your readers to contribute. If you're running out of ideas, then you should look at what other blogs are doing, and maybe get more traffic to the site you have.
I have started to do that a bit more. I recently started carrying around a mini notebook with me too. It seems silly but I have found that best ideas usually come to me when I am not in front of a computer.
The Simple Dollar is a great blog and that's a good idea, I also have a post that lists (1-2 lines) my best articles which will resurface sometime. I don't think duplicating content is a good idea either, I'm only suggesting adding and significantly improving the content and moving it to the top.
I have found myself having the same problem sometimes too. After writing 100 plus blog posts or articles, you start to run out of ideas. One thing I like to do is visit the free keyword suggestion tool via Word Tracker. I am unsure of the site address right now, but it can easily be found with a standard internet search.
I then take a few words or phrases from my blog. For example, one of the sites I have is preschool themed with crafts, activities, worksheets, and so forth. So I usually try something like "preschool crafts" in the keyword suggestion tool. I'll get a bunch of different phrases people search with. Some are more detailed than others.
For example, once I think I found preschool crafts with leaves. That phrase alone gave me a worth week of content. I sat down and branched off that simple phrase.
You might want to try this approach.
I've seen a blog where one post is a dedicated "time machine" linking to "blast from the past" articles.
One such example: http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2010/10/02/the-simple-dollar-time-machine-october-2-2010/
Here's the main page: http://www.thesimpledollar.com
I find this solution more appropriate than posting duplicate content. The post itself is unique and offers links and summaries for posts that might not have been seen before by newer visitors.
I got a few blogs which I'm not updating anymore, so I'm rotating the old posts via a wordpress plugin. Google doesn't sees it as new content because the URL's aren't changing (I have no date set in my permalinks) only the surfers.
effective and successful article marketing only takes less than 45 minutes a day to do. all you need to do is write your thoughts down. I can do 600 words on a Microsoft Word file in less than 20 minutes
No. It's too time consuming and writing does not come easily with me, yet enjoyable within a limit.
I really wouldn't do that. Because you aren't throwing new information at your visitors, they will probably have a good incentive to not visit your blog anymore. Depending on your niche, a good thing to do is find some guest bloggers to put up posts. Never stop thinking of ideas, you might want to overlap a bit on an adjacent niche to yours so you still put up new content.
Article spinning adds very little value
When you find yourself running out of ideas, have you ever considered writing articles about things off the top of your head, and submit them to article directories, to build up your backlinks and web traffic?
Honestly I think instead of reposting, why not just add more value to the article. I mean, same topic but a complete new article with new information.
Have you ever considered writing and submitting articles to online article directories?
you can also do article spinning :))
Not all topics may need that treatment.
A few articles I wrote 5 years ago are still valid today, barring very minor edits.
Or you can make another category that is closely related to your topic and write a compare and contrast blog.
How about offering some freebies related to your niche in order to break the monotony? You can write a small article explaining the item and then placed the link on the download page towards the end. Just to keep the blog going and who knows some new ideas will crop up later.
Well, not everyone can write articles or have the time to do so, you can always hire a freelance writer to do the dirty work
Do you think you can get into the positive habit of writing at least 1 article a day and submitting to an online article directory?

Does Counting Sheep Help You Sleep?
We've been taught that it does, but I never really believed in it because as a kid it has never worked for me. BBC just had a story on this and turns out I was right, not only does it not work, but at times it will take you longer than if you did nothing at all. What is recommended is thinking of something pleasant, it distracts you from worries which shortens the amount of time it takes you to sleep.[Source]

A 20-year-old aspiring journalist died after being taken ill at a house in Worcester Park.
Police are investigating after Tayla Woodard, from Cornwall, fell ill at a house in Tamesis Gardens on Saturday evening and was taken to hospital where she died on Sunday.
The Bournemouth University student was in the final year of a multimedia journalism course and was originally from Wadebridge in Cornwall. She leaves behind parents Julia and Russell, brother Sam and sister Jodie.
Tayla Woodard
Her sister posted a picture of the pair of them on Facebook and wrote: "Me and my beautiful big sister. You'll never be forgotten and will always be in my heart.
"Thank you for the wonderful memories you have left me with, they will never fail to make me smile. Sleep tight Tay, I love you so much. Now, forever and always."
Jodie (left) and Tayla Woodard
Friends, including colleagues at the Bounemouth University student union bar, have also paid tribute to Miss Woodard. Drew Hollinshead said: "RIP Tayla Woodard. Always remembered, never to be forgotten. Talented, beautiful, caring and an incredible friend."
Student Jessica James added: "Tayla Woodard so glad to have so many lovely memories with you! R.I.P Tay, love and miss you forever and always."
Miss Woodard wrote regular articles for Bournemouth independent newspaper the Rock and had ambitions to be a showbiz reporter.
A police spokesman said: "Police were called by London Ambulance Service at approximately 5:50am on Sunday to reports of a woman taken ill at a residential address in Worcester Park.
"The woman, aged 20, was taken to a south London hospital where she died at 6:22 am.
"A post-mortem examination took place on Monday. No cause of death was given and we await the results of further tests.
"The death is being treated as unexplained at this stage."
A 20-year-old man was also taken to hospital as a precaution but has been discharged.

Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this or not, but thought I would post it here. I saw a piece in our local newspaper yesterday about this new technique being developed at St Andrews university and thought I would share it here. Not sure if anyone has heard of it or not, but thought I would flag it up anyway.

Best wishes,

I knew it was coming, but it still made me sick to see it.
"Newtown First Grader Seeks $100 Million Compensation" blared the newspaper headline.
Yep, sure enough — a lawyer had filed a $100 million claim on behalf of a student who was traumatized by hearing cursing, screaming and shooting over the school intercom when Adam Lanza opened fire in the Sandy Hook Elementary School, killing 20 students and six adults.
And who was the suit filed against?
Why the school of course, claiming the school had failed to take appropriate steps to protect children from "foreseeable harm," failed to provide a "safe school setting" or design "an effective student safety emergency response plan and protocol."
Even though I was expecting it, the news still struck me like a punch in the stomach. Children and adults were murdered, and these parents were looking to make a little — a lot — of money because their student heard what was happening. What would they have wanted if their child had been hurt?
Public outcry caused the lawyer to temporarily withdraw the petition.
"I was getting hundreds of (Facebook) comments" about the potential lawsuit. "So I figured I'd take (the request) off the table for now," he said.
Little Jill Doe's parents are not alone in looking at a tragedy like a monetary windfall. Lawsuits have been filed against the Aurora, Colo., movie theater where another armed madman killed and wounded dozens at a midnight showing in July. They charged the theater of not providing property security and claimed "readily available security procedures, security equipment and security personnel would likely have prevented or deterred the gunman from accomplishing his planned assault on the theater's patrons," the law firm said in a statement.
Sure, everyone knows there should be airport security systems at every theater in the country.
I am not anti-lawyer, and I believe in the right to file lawsuits. But it's suit like these that give lawyers — and plaintiffs — a bad name.
How can anyone hope to profit financially from an evil act?
While I am disgusted by the greed some people display, I am heartened by the fact that this greed still raises an outcry among most Americans. We might be blase to many of the faults in modern life, but people still speak out against simple money grubbing.
When tragedies like these happen, I can understand a desire to do something, to make somebody pay for the hurt that has been inflicted.
But after we review and debate our safety procedures, care for the wounded and mourn the dead, all we can do is ponder the nature of evil.
And nobody should get rich while doing it.

West Mifflin looks to spoil West Allegheny's perfect record in WPIAL finals
There are very few constants in WPIAL football but one has held true for more than a decade.
When West Allegheny makes it to the WPIAL Class AAA championship game, whether at Three Rivers Stadium or Heinz Field, the Indians win.
West Allegheny (11-1) has qualified for the finals five times — in 1997, 1999-2001 and 2009 — and the Indians have come away with a title every year. That also includes a 2000 win over West Mifflin (11-1), the team it will face when it goes for its sixth title in 16 seasons Friday at 8 p.m. at Heinz Field.
The Titans have only been to the championship game one other time, a 2004 loss to Thomas Jefferson, since West Mifflin North and South merged in the 1980s. West Mifflin North defeated Butler for the Class AAA title in 1963.
"We never really talk about the history and things like that, and most of the time we never even stress that they have to win because we just want them to do their best to prepare and everything will fall in place," West Mifflin coach Ray Braszo said. "We haven't made it a major point and it hasn't been stressed by us, and we'll let the chips fall where they may."
The two teams have very similar approaches when it comes to their plan of attack, albeit with different methodology. Both rely heavily on their running games and staunch defenses, but while West Allegheny has a three-pronged ground game, West Mifflin utilizes a two-man game with quarterback Derrick Fulmore and speedster running back Jimmy Wheeler.
And, though neither coach had seen their opponent firsthand before going through the film this week, both had similar reactions to their counterparts.
"Wow they've got a lot of talent," West Allegheny coach Bob Palko said.
Wheeler, who was known more for his track prowess as one of the best sprinters in the state before becoming the team's feature back this season, is the WPIAL's second-leading rusher behind Washington's Shai McKenzie with 2,141 yards and 28 touchdowns. Fulmore provides a talented counterpoint as a dual-threat quarterback and is coming off an outstanding game against Central Valley in which he rushed for 162 yards and three scores and capped the night with the game-winning two-point conversion in overtime.
Fulmore has more than 1,700 combined rushing and passing yards and, along with Wheeler, provides a defensive challenge.
"Wheeler is really quite a talented young man and he's just got a gift. It's easier said than done, but we just have to be as sound as possible and tackle well because, since you don't see that speed in practice, you have to adapt and adjust your angles in the game," Palko said. "Fulmore is really good too, and we haven't seen a team that has two players like that this year."
By the same token, West Allegheny has three running backs — Chayse Dillon, Armand Dellovade and Nick Halbedl with more than 450 yards.
If that weren't enough, the Indians also have an added passing threat with sophomore Andrew Koester, who threw his fifth touchdown in a semifinal win over Thomas Jefferson.
"You can't get real sophisticated because they do so many things, so you kind of have to stick with what you do and make sure that your guys know exactly where to line up and know their assignments, but that's why they're in the final," Braszo said. "Nobody's really found an answer to it, but with both teams being ball-control teams, we just have to be able to move the ball as well as they do."

Topic: Anyone have side effects from Lorazepam?
My sis has been on Ativan (Lorazepam) since last August, off and on. She's also just finished 2nd cycle of Xeloda. Experiencing weepiness/depression, fatigue, nausea, and imbalance feeling of lack of coordination. Also forgetfulness and a little confusion (things don't "register" very fast when telling her info.
I looked up lorazepam (Ativan) and many of these can be side effects. Anyone have trouble with this med? Or is it the Xeloda? We just lost our Dad 1 month ago too.

r3loaded - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkSo I went over to the motomaker.com website...and it wants me to create a Google+ account?? WTH do I need to create a social networking profile to buy a phone? That's a dealbreaker right there for me. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkAside from gmail itself, is there any Google service left that will take your data without demanding a G+ "upgrade" first? Reply
rpmrush - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkWow..I have a G+ account. I logged in and the Motorola store states that it wants my name and email..I'm ok with that. AND it wants to know about my Google account info, wants my list of friends on G+, wants to post to all my friends that I visited the store...not ok with that..especially because it's going to harvest this info on it's own by accessing my account. There is no way to get around it. Technically..Moto is Google so they already have this info..so I guess it's nice of them to ask..but NO..you may not snoop through my account to advertise to others. Man that was the dealbreaker...I was going to buy the phone..now I'm getting the LG G2. Reply
randomlinh - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkWell, technically, you can uncheck everything in the circles (though, very annoying to uncheck eveyrthing). And only let it share to yourself. Reply
Wolfpup - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkUgh, I'm sick of every Google thing I do trying to upgrade me to +. I do-not-want-plus, period.
Love this phone, love that it's made in the U.S., but man am I getting sick of +... Reply
steven75 - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkHa! That would definitely be the end of the transaction for me as well. Reply
xdrol - Saturday, August 17, 2013 - linkSoooo.. you don't have an Android phone, GMail address, Youtube, Picasa, Blogger, GDrive account, you don't use Chrome? Wow.. (Google account = G+ account) Reply
Sabresiberian - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkI think you are automatically assigned a Google+ account when you do anything Google these days - like have a YouTube account, for example.
One more reason to dislike YouTube. :/ Reply
Theremings759 - Thursday, August 29, 2013 - linkuntil I saw the receipt saying $9114, I have faith ...that...my friends brother was like they say trully erning money part time from their laptop.. there sisters neighbour haz done this less than seven months and resantly took care of the loans on there apartment and bought a top of the range Mazda. these details http://jobs63.com Reply

Civilized - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkDoes this mean you will be skipping the full review of another Lumia flagship? Reply
sherlockwing - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkGiven that there isn't a full review for GS4(only Part 1) or Nexus 7(only a Mini review), It is just a matter of Brain being busy. Reply
thesavvymage - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkBrian is probably slammed, but just for some side info I believe Anand is handling the Nexus 7 review Reply
Civilized - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkWell, the GS4 review is fairly complete, and the Nexus 7 review covers most of the parts that are actually new. I just thought it was interesting that Anandtech, which is usually very technical, is prioritizing the review of "Oh look at the pretty colors!" over the state of the art Pureview technology which I find much more interesting to read about. Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkThe two are relatively unrelated. Testing on the Moto X continues while this post was relatively quick to put together.
Nexus 7 review is nearly done :) Reply
sprockkets - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkYou know you never reviewed the Nexus 10 right? Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkNot at all, Brian is currently working on the Moto X and 1020 in tandem I believe. He's been traveling like crazy to all of these events, plus there's a ton of effort that goes into truly understanding the behavior of the devices he's reviewing.
Take care,
Anand Reply
Civilized - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkGreat to hear! Thing is, once you get used to reading the reviews here its very difficult to read them anywhere else. I am always looking forward to your dissections of the latest tech. Keep up the awesome work. Reply
steven75 - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkKudos to Googerola for putting this out there, but at the end of the day, isn't a lot easier to just buy a thin case? Then you can change the colors anytime you want and the person you end up selling your phone to later doesn't have to have the same taste as you.
I think the same thing about the eventual "iPhone 5C" btw. Reply
B-Unit1701 - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkI know this comes as a shock, but not everyone sells their phones... Reply
DukeN - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkFor those counting their dollars, the customization might hurt the resale value on this phone given the mediocre specs that go with it. Reply
eallan - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkNo love for the black front?? Reply
thrawn_lives - Friday, August 16, 2013 - linkWill the full review be out before the 19th? I got an early invite to build my MOTO X, but I really rely on anandtech for my purchasing decisions. Reply
Conficio - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkI guess the most important option is missing, XL battery. I care about colors only after I get 48h standby time and 16h using the phone, and its smart computer build in.
The option of an extra large battery would be the one I'd want to buy. Reply
Davidjan - Friday, August 23, 2013 - linkGreat device. It is flexible to customize by ourselves. Does anyone know if it supports OTG? If it does, then I can expand its storage with : http://goo.gl/U6IyY Reply

The university sick leave policy is intended to encourage the accumulation of sick leave to cover extended illness. It is recognized that employees may become ill or injured, and therefore, are unable to perform their assigned duties. Accumulated sick leave should not be considered as earned time off with pay and may not be granted for any reason other than for an absence due to illness or injury of the employee, including maternity-related conditions, or for the care of a family member during an illness or injury of that family member. The total paid sick leave hours used for medical or dental appointments or for the care of a family member shall not exceed 40 hours in any fiscal year. Paid sick leave applies only if the employee is actively employed at the time of illness or injury. Abuse of sick leave may be deemed justification for discharge of the employee.
It is urged that all employees be impressed with the value of accumulating a balance of up to 720 paid sick leave hours to cover potential periods of extended illness or injury. An employee needs approximately 520 hours of accumulated sick leave to cover the 60-calendar day waiting period plus 30 calendar days for processing time before receiving a check for long-term disability benefits under the university's salary continuance program. Additional processing time may be needed by the salary continuance insurance company for certain health care situations.
Paid sick leave is accrued beginning on the employee's effective date of employment; but for a new employee, it is not available for use until the beginning of the reporting period following satisfactory completion of the probationary period. Only paid sick leave hours accrued and reported on the paycheck stub may be used. Paid sick leave must be used during a fiscal year. Your sick leave balance can be found on Self Serve Banner under Employee Leave Balances. For accrual rates, see NonExempt Sick Leave Accrual.
If absent from work because of illness or injury, an employee must notify his or her supervisor according to departmental regulations for reporting absences. Failure to notify his or her supervisor within the departmental prescribed time may result in disapproval of sick leave benefits and/or disciplinary action up to and including discharge. If there is no specific departmental regulation, the employee is required to notify his or her supervisor no later than 30 minutes after the beginning of the work shift.
The university may require for any sick leave, and particularly sick leave requested on the day before or after a paid holiday or vacation period, a medical statement from a health care provider confirming the illness of the employee before granting sick leave benefits. At its sole discretion, the university reserves the right to assign the unused sick leave balance or any portion thereof toward time taken off which would otherwise qualify for sick leave. Whenever an employee is on sick leave, including sick leave for maternity-related conditions, the employee may be required to submit to the university periodic statements from the employee's health care provider. Failure to provide requested evidence may result in disapproval of sick leave benefits and/or disciplinary action up to and including discharge.
Sick leave payments will cease whenever an employee enters a layoff status.

text: Was thinking about this on the way home yesterday. There's a video on NEsurf that's about the abundance of Great Whites in the Cape, and without going on and on about it, one conclusion they came to with certainty is that there were way more sharks out there than they had previously thought. I'm not a proponent of culling the seal population(I understand why others might be, not my point either way), but I was wondering if there happened to be a significant reduction in the seal pop., would that increase the chances of a human attack? If the same amount of hungry sharks return to feed and there's less food, will they start to exploit different resources(humans)? Just a thought.

One Small Change: Your Old Friend, the Potatoby Jason Machowsky in Uncategorized, September 23, 2012
Ahh, you can have them baked with cheese and bacon, mashed with cream and butter or deep-fried in oil. So versatile, yet so unhealthy: the white potato. But do potatoes deserve such a bad rap? Take a moment, and let's rediscover one of the best "unhealthy" foods around.
Taken by itself, the great spud compares quite well in calories, fiber and nutrients to most other starches like pasta and rice. A medium potato with its skin (2 to 3 inches wide) has 130 calories, three grams of fiber, three grams of protein and is a source of vitamin C, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, phosphorus, potassium and manganese. Comparatively, one cup of pasta or rice (the size of your fist) has about 200 calories for similar amounts of fiber.
So why does the potato get such a bad rap? Obviously how we prepare it can have a huge impact. Loaded potato skins probably have more bacon, cheese and sour cream than they do potato.
You also may have heard that potatoes can spike your blood sugar because they have a high "glycemic index." Unfortunately, that index is only useful if you eat one food at a time, and not as a part of a meal. How many of you sit down to a big potato for a meal, and nothing else (not even toppings)? The moment you eat a piece of lean protein like chicken or fish, some veggies and a salad, your body breaks down the potato much more slowly. In fact, potato chips have a lower glycemic index than most regular potatoes because they are cooked in oil (fat)! And what do you think is really healthier, a plain baked potato or potato chips?
And if you really want to decrease how fast your body breaks down the potato, you only need to do one thing: eat the skin (just be sure to wash it first). According to the same glycemic index, your body will digest the potato with its skin about 30% slower than just the flesh.
If you've been avoiding white potatoes for fear that it will ruin your health, I hope this post has cleared up some misconceptions. Enjoy the potato, but prepare it healthfully. Mash it, with the skin on, with just a touch of butter, some low-fat milk, a pinch of salt and a healthy portion of garlic and lemon zest. Or roast some potatoes with a small drizzle of olive oil, pepper, garlic and rosemary. Consider topping a baked potato with low-fat yogurt and dill rather than sour cream. And if that's not enough, try out these other healthy potato recipes:
Fennel Potatoes
Warm Potato-Tomato Salad With Dijoin Vinaigrette
Oven-Baked Parmesan French Fries
Potato and Zucchini Frittata
And of course, don't forget about the sweet potato.
Tell Us: What is your favorite nutritious potato preparation?

Quins hooker Rob Buchanan is usually in a rush to book his post-season holiday, but in 2013 plans are on hold for more reasons than one.
The 21-year-old had an early introduction to last Friday's 13-9 England Saxons defeat to Scotland A as he replaced concussed Quins team mate Joe Gray 10 minutes in to proceedings.
It was his second appearance for the international second string having been drafted in for last month's 14-10 win over Ireland Wolfhands in Galway.
Buchanan is now firmly on the radar for a place in head coach Stuart Lancaster's touring party to Argentina this summer, given a host of senior England players should be in line for British Lions call-up.
With Quins reaching the Heineken Cup quarter finals and riding high in the Premiership once more, director of rugby Conor O'Shea's men are targeting a busy month of May.
And Hong Kong-born Buchanan, who enjoyed a three- week blast in Thailand after lifting the Premiership trophy in 2012, is aware he might be booking this year's trip via lastminute.com.
"It was a massive surprise to to get called up because there are lots of quality hookers around in the Premiership," he said.
"I got on early against Scotland and I loved every minute of it. It was a big challenge and it was something that took me right out of my comfort zone.
"You can never arrange a holiday too early because there are two competitions to play for in May and we are in a great place in both.
"I am sure if I keep working hard, then, hopefully, I'll get a place on a tour."
Success has come relatively quickly for Buchanan, having made his senior debut at Leicester Tigers in 2010 before landing his first top flight start against Saracens at Wembley stadium in 2012.
And the England U20 international has been a virtual every present in the Quins matchday squad this term, making 18 appearances and scoring two Heineken Cup tries in the process.
"I didn't think I'd be playing this much at this age when I first joined the club from school," he added.
"But that is what makes this such a great club. Everyone gets a chance. There are many clubs where the academy players don't actually play that much rugby."
While England prepare to face Ireland on Sunday, Quins host old rivals London Wasps on Saturday.
"These games during the Six Nations may not be as high profile, but they are still huge games for us," added Buchanan.
Meanwhile, Tom Guest has been rewarded for his recent good form in the LV= Cup and Heinkene Cup to retain his number six starting shirt for Saturday's visit of London Wasps.
George Lowe, Ugo Monye, Joe Gray and George Robson all start on their return from international duty, while fellow Saxons Buchanan and Jordan Turner-Hall must be satisfied with a place on the bench.
Harlequins team to face Wasps: 15. Ross Chisholm, 14. Tom Williams, 13. George Lowe, 12. Matt Hopper, 11. Ugo Monye, 10. Nick Evans, 9. Karl Dickson; 1. Mark Lambert, 2. Joe Gray, 3. James Johnston, 4. Charlie Matthews, 5. George Robson, 6. Tom Guest, 7. Luke Wallace, 8. Nick Easter (C).
Replacements; 16. Rob Buchanan, 17. Darryl Marfo, 18. Will Collier, 19. Sam Twomey, 20. Maurie Fa'asavalu, 21. Ollie Lindsay-Hague, 22. Rory Clegg, 23. Jordan Turner-Hall.

Mouth Diseases
Red Circle Tip of Tongue
Since last month around christmas, I have been getting one or two of these red circular lesions at the very tip of my tongue. They would show up one day and after 3 to 4 days, they disappear. Last time it showed up was last weekend and even now that I type this one came back. There is no pain, though a very very mild tingle, with this. There is also no white center, so nothing that can puss open.
I did perform oral sex 17 days prior to the first time I noticed this happening but wasn`t sure if it was herpes since it does not last long nor does it hurt or show up anywhere else in my mouth. I have also been tested back in May 09 and was negative for both HSV 1 and HSV 2.
I do take vitamins so I ruled out vitamin deficiency.
I do have geographic tongue but it does not look like that either. Also, I have been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 08 and wasn`t sure if that caused anything to do with it. I do get canker sores and had one recently along with this on my tongue, but the canker sore (being on my gum near my lip) hurt way more and was redder than what is on my tongue and also lasted longer.
Right now, my fear is herpes since that is uncurable. Though, from the pictures I have seen online (the very few that I can even find) it does not look like that, and defenitely not that many lesions. Of course, I am unsure since I am not a doctor and everyone is different. I did see a doctor last week but by time I got to see him, it went away the night before.
I am just wondering if you can maybe think of something else that maybe I haven`t thought of.
You mentioned the fact that you have been diagnosed with IBD (Irritable Bowel syndrome) - Ulcerative Colitis (UC). That may be related to the oral exacerbations you are describing. I realize that you are concerned about contracting an STD on the tip of your tongue, but the timeline and presentation does not correspond to the frequency and remission of the "red circles" (Syphilis, Gonorrhea, HSV). If you are concerned, you can be tested and have your primary care provider evaluate the lesion.
Tip of tongue lesions usually occur secondarily to trauma, pizza burn, allergic reaction, facial abrasion, rubbing it on the anterior teeth, and/or biting it. Geographic tongue would be high on my list of probable causes as would oral manifestations of IBD. UC can involve both cutaneous and mucous membrane sites. Oral involvement includes and is not limited to the following:
-glossitis (inflamed tongue),
-stomatitis (generalized inflamed oral cavity),
-aphthous ulceration (burning ulcers that occur on the unattached mucosa),
-chelitis (inflammation of the lip), and
-pyostomatitis vegitans (PV).
PV is a descriptive term that describes the occurrence of multiple, friable pustules/ulcerations in the oral cavity and has been linked to active UC disease. In fact, there are reports that the oral presentation precedes the diagnosis of UC.
I hope this helps, and I strongly suggest that you get evaluated by your Primary Care Provider in order to limit complications associated with your gastrointestinal disease.
