Major U.S. Cities Still Not Recovered From Crisis
Thirty major U.S. cities face a tough and uncertain road to recovery, according to a report released Monday by the Pew Charitable Trusts.
The revenues collected by a majority of the cities analyzed by Pew were still below their precrisis peaks, even as populations and costs have generally gone up.
"For many of these large cities, the impact of the housing crisis on local revenue could have just been starting, several years after the worst of the nationwide collapse," says Pew, a research nonprofit.
The findings by Pew are largely in line with a recent series by The Wall Street Journal on the financial health of U.S. cities. The 30 cities analyzed by Pew and their metropolitan areas make up 49% of U.S. gross domestic product, the nonprofit says. Pew looked at cities such as New York City, Boston, Chicago, San Franciso, Phoenix and Los Angeles.

The 2014 NBA Draft is shaping up to be the most anticipated of the decade. As we inch closer and closer to draft day in July, Basketball Insiders will release bi-weekly full mock drafts from managing site editor Yannis Koutroupis, while other members of the team will give their takes occasionally as well. The first rounds of the full mocks will always be compromised of the top 30 players in accordance to team needs, while the second round will contain solely international prospects and upperclassmen, since typically underclassmen not projected to go in the first are encouraged to stay in school.
The draft order is based off of the NBA's regular season standings going into January 16. The order also reflects all of the movement involving 2014 draft picks, which is detailed in our draft pick debt section.

I have one workstation that was communicating with Spiceworks up until I recently un-installed an older version of AutoCAD LT.
The WMIdiag report has 36-WMI security error(s) detected and 2-DCOM security error(s) detected.
The WMI report suggests fixes by jumping through several hoops or simply reinstalling the de-installed application however I can only assume if a re-install does correct the WMI an DCOM errors, then un-installing the applicaiton again will take me back to the same problems.
Is there a utility designed to fix the WMI repository? Or can something else be run to help auto-fix these issues without having to manually wade through?
This topic was created during version 2.0.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Oh god, I just had to re-install a pc because of this, WMI errors are ugly, I have a server that I have been hacking at for a while, wading through the catalog files doing repairs manually.
If you find one, (and I have been REALLY searching hard), please let me know!
My suggestion.. re-install it if you can
Feb 18, 2008 at 3:43 UTC
Tried doing a Windows XP re-install and that did not help. Still have the same 36-errors. Guess I'll have to burn this machine and do a fresh install.

I know you may think this question is stupid, but I need to know. I'm like either 5' 10 1/2" or 5' 11" but I get really nervous when I have to wear dresses because I think it will make me look bad even though it might be beautiful so I usually don't wear them. So do you guys think that tall girls like me look good in dresses. (Btw my legs aren't fat they kinda muscular)
Most Helpful Guy
Yes, definitely. Tall girls typically have great legs, so dresses are a win for them!00|00|0

The month of Elul is an acronym for the phrase "Ani l'dodi v l'dodi li" from Song of Songs (I am my beloved and my beloved is mine). It is about the relationship between ourselves and God. Rabbi Yoel Glick writes that the process of teshuva (return) is "about repairing our shattered vessel. It is about returning to the sense of inner balance and clarity that will make us fitting pipelines to channel the Divine emanation.. . . radically transforms our consciousness. To do teshuvah is to see light instead of darkness – to view the world through God's transcendent eyes."

L'Shana Tova: Rosh Hashana Recipes Round-Up
I can't believe I'm writing my third Rosh Hashana post on Neesh Noosh. I'm not sure what I'll be writing for the coming year, but do expect more posts from me. I've been slowly working on putting things together for a cookbook, which I hope will eventually become a reality. Thank you to all of you for reading the blog and your comments and questions. Below is a round-up of Rosh Hashana recipes that you might want to include at your table. I hope you all have a wonderful Rosh Hashana celebration filled with delicious apples dipped in honey from a local farmer and a year filled with bountiful, healthful local foods. L'Shana tova!
Av: Mourning and Comfort
I'm a bit late in posting for the month of Av which includes the day of mourning, Tisha b'Av, and Tu b'Av, often called the Jewish Valentines Day. The dichotomous holidays take us through a range of emotions from sadness and sorrow moving towards comfort and joy, as we start to prepare for the high holidays. In fact the month is often called Menachem Av, which means comforter or consoler. Literally, as we move through the day of Tisha b'Av, we gradually move to a more hopeful emotional state and towards one of more comfort. We go from sitting on the floor, as is customary with mourners to sitting in chairs. Emotionally, despite the pain of Tisha b'Av, we also have hope. In Judaism, because of our history we always carry narrative of pain and sorrow but are never defeated by it and always look for redemption in even the darkest places. We are steadfast in our optimism.
Sivan & Shavuot: Eating Dairy-Free
We begin the month of Sivan during which we celebrate Shavuot, when the Israelites received the Torah at Mount Sinai. If you're not a coffee drinker or dairy eater, like me, Shavuot can be challenging. In celebrating the holiday, people's all night Torah study is generally fueled by cheesecake, blintzes, ice cream and lasagna. There are many explanations as to why we eat dairy foods on Shavuot. One is that the Torah is like milk and "just as milk has the ability to fully sustain the body of a human being (i.e. a nursing baby), so too the Torah provides all the "spiritual nourishment" necessary for the human soul."
However, eating dairy foods on Shavuot is a custom, not a law. But, there are lots of delicious ways to enjoy Shavuot without eating dairy.One way is with the the vegan blueberry ice cream recipe that I created for the holiday.
Lag b'Omer: Fire and Spice
A version of this post and recipe originally appeared on the Borough Market website. The market was established in 1014 (yes the date is correct!).
Lag b'Omer begins tonight at sundown tonight. It is the date of the passing of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, a Jewish scholar and mystic who lived from 100-160CE. His commentaries and teachings are part of important Jewish texts about law, ethics and mysticism. He wrote the Zohar, the foundational text of the Jewish mystical tradition known as Kabbalah.
He defied the Roman Emperor Hadrian who persecuted Jews, closed all Jewish schools and forbade the study of holy texts. To avoid execution by the Romans because of his disobedience, Rabbi Shimon and his son, Elazar, hid in a cave for 13 years in the village of Meron, northern Israel.

Iyar: Connect and Grow
Iyar-the second month in the Jewish calendar–is a connector month, between Nisan (Pesach–the exodus and establishment of the nation of Israelites) and Sivan (Shavuot–the receiving of the Torah). Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz writes that Pesach "asks us to stop walking the old, familiar paths, and to create change within ourselves and in our relationship with others and with the world."
Such a process of introspection and healing doesn't end at Pesach but rather begins. Iyar is a time to sow the seeds of our personal and communal transformations that were planted at Pesach through our liberation from slavery and to prepare for receiving the Torah in Sivan. It "is the month of introspection for the sake of self improvement." Liberation does not mean one's journey is complete. And, such a journey is not done alone. Iyar is known as a healing month. The acronym of Iyar is represented by the phrase, "I am G-d your healer" (Exodus 15:26). (The manna the Israelites received from G-d during their time in the wilderness first appeared in Iyar, solidifying their reliance on G-d to survive.) Continue reading

Nisan: Bless and Sustain
Nisan is the first month of the Jewish calendar, a celebration of the beginning of Spring (Chodesh Ha-aviv) and Pesach. Unlike Rosh Hashana, which is a new year for the creation of the world, Nisan established the nation of Israelites. G-d instructed Moses, "This month shall be for you the head of months, the first of the months of the year." (Exodus 12-2).
One is instructed to say a blessing during Nisan for blossoming fruit trees. With the celebration of Spring in Nisan, one can visit a park or other natural setting to let one's senses enjoy the colors, scents, sounds and beauty of this time of year. On my little balcony, I'm immersed in an array of flowers, pots overflowing with herbs and a cacophony of birds chirping (of course there is also the regular sounds of drivers honking their car horns). My neighborhood is alight with bougainvellia in vivid oranges and pinks, cascading over tree tops, walls and bushes.
Adar 2: Extra Joy
"When Adar arrives, joy increases." We are lucky to have two Adars this year (a leap year), a month of joy. Purim is celebrated during Adar 2. There are two significant giving components to Purim. "They are to observe these as days of feasting and gladness, and for sending delicacies to one another, and giving gifts to the poor." (Esther 9:22). As part of the Purim celebrations, people give mishloach manot (Purim gift baskets), filled with treats, to friends and family. I love returning home to a stack of mishloach manot at my front door, each one delicious and personalized, filled with homemade treats, fruits and drinks. The baskets are lovely but not extravagant.
Indeed, they should not overshadow Matanot La'evyonim, donations to poor people. Maimonides taught, "It is inappropriate to buy expensive Mishloach Manot, if this will come at the expense of larger gifts to the poor." There are countless opportunities to support people in need this Purim through the excellent organizations listed on my resources page.
For my Adar2 recipe, I offer an incredibly delicious and sweet dessert that is completely free of any added sugars. It is possible to enjoy Adar2 and Purim without drowning in sugary desserts!
Tu B'shevat Round-Up
Happy New Year of the Trees! I hope you have a delicious, fruitful Tu B'shevat. Below is a round-up of articles and recipes I wrote for the holiday. And if you need any other fruit recipes, search in the "fruit" category on the website. B'tayavon!

Please confirm that you want to add Create Fast RESTful APIs with Lumen and Homestead by Laravel to your Wishlist.
Create an agile and fast RESTful API with Lumen from scratch and step-by-step
In this course you are going to learn to develop a professional and fully functional RESTful APIs using Lumen, the micro-framework based on Laravel.
Lumen is a micro-framework for PHP based on laravel, combining the most highlighted features of laravel in a much lighter and faster version.
Why Lumen?
Lumen has the best features of Laravel in a more light and quick version , while remaining expressive, intuitive, powerful and especially simple .
With Lumen your API will support at least twelve hundred (1200) requests in a range of 10 seconds with 10 simultaneous requests. This great speed makes it the perfect candidate for implementing a RESTful API in it, and the best, it is completely easy!
Millions of programmers of PHP use Laravel and all of them are agree with the incredible ease and agility that Lumen provides for micro services, including of course, RESTful APIs, so, what are you waiting for? Take it now!
Lumen for PHP have been included new concepts and facilities, similar to Laravel allowing you to create fast, agile but powerful RESTful API easily.
You are going to obtain this specific knoledge and skills during the course:
During the course will create a RESTful API from scratch , following the REST architecture and the proper construction of URLs to identify actions and resources using the controllers and routes for resources on Lumen.
Hone the characteristics of your work tools ( Sublime Text 3, Git shell, Lumen, Composer, artisan PHP ) and improve your productivity for development agile.
Learn to develop a local project on Windows with Homestead , how to interact with the virtual machine Vagrant , with the operative system Ubuntu through a connection ssh .
You'll see how to use Lumen through the console PHP artisan to build agile a RESTful API that responds to methods of HTTP ( GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE PATCH ), also populate the database structure and build an automated manner.
It does not end there! Will have access for life for the additional classes that are constantly be adding to the course.
Upon completion of this course you will be able to develop your own RESTful API with Lumen and PHP and including micro-services, in a quick and simple way, exploiting the facilities provided by this micro-framework for the proper and adequate implementation of your projects.
Do not wait to be proficient in PHP and RESTful. Join the course and see you in class
How to use the platform, use the resources and leave comments
Lets to know a little about me, my skills, my experience and projects.
How to take advantage of the classes, how every class and content works.
During this class you are going to discover, why Lumen is the best choise to develop a RESTful API,
During this class you are going to download and install:
During this class you are going to get a Lumen 5.1 instance and you are going to link it to homestead as a project dependency. It mean a Homestead instance per project.
During this class you are going to install, obtain and use Homestead.
Homestead: Is a previously created and designed box for Vagrant, wich provides a easily way to deploy and develop Laravel/Lumen projects (mainly).
During the class you are going to learn how to install the most useful add-ons to Sublime Text 3 for a faster development.
Sublime Text 3: Is a free code editor. Useful to develop projects in multiple programming languages wich includes PHP.
You'll see how Vagrant works and how to use it easily and faster.
Let check if you know every component of your development environment
This course, provide you a great advantage, which allow you to follow and check the code for every content and every class. How the project evolves, what changed in every class, copy/edit easily the code.
Learn how Lumen is structured and organized. Know the main differences between Laravel and Lumen. Learn how to enable the most essencial and useful features of Lumen for a much more easy programming.
During this class you'll see how to create the models easily using php artisan and the relationship between those models (many to many and one to many).
During this class you are going to use the Lumen migrations feature to create the tables associated with every model and their attributes for the relationships. It includes the pivos table for the many to many relationship.
During this class you are going to seed the database using factories of Lumen to create fake data and test the database structure and project.
During this class you are going to create the routes to manage (create, read, update and delete) resources in the RESTful API and the required controllers to manage all the kind of requests, like this:
Verify if you know the main components of the Lumen structure.
During this class you are going to develop the functions to show data associated with the simple resrouces of the RESTful API (Teachers, Courses and Students).
The index and show method responses to the GET HTTP method.
During this class you are going to implement the method that allow you to insert simple recources (students and teachers).
Take into account that the POST method of HTTP is used to create/inser data or new resources into de database.
During the class you are going to implement the methods to update/edit existing simple resoruces.
In this case you can:
The method update responses to the PUT and PATCH methods of the HTTP protocol.
Notice: Due to the HTTP protocol definition, PHP and therefore Laravel, recibes values for this methods ONLY when are sent using the www-url-encode way instead of form-params.
During this class you are going to implement the method "destroy" to delete simple resources (Student and Teacher).
The destroy method response to the DELETE method of HTTP and just remove an existing resource.
PS: At the moment of delete resources, we need to be very careful with the foreign keys because a resoruce can't be deleted if another resource depends of them. For example, a teacher can't be deleted witouth remove first the associated courses (or assign a new teacher).
During the class you are going to develop the method to show data about the nested resources, it means:
The index method responses to the GET HTTP method.
During this lecture you are going to develop the the methods which allow you to insert or create nested resources.
In thiis case:
The store method is used to create/insert new resources into the database. The store method responses to the POST method of the HTTP protocol.
During the class you are going to develop the method to update/edit an existing nested resoruce.
In this case you can edit a specific course that is associated with a specific teacher. Remember that the students and the courses can be updated by themself methods, so the CourseStudentController does not need the update method.
The method update responses to the PUT and PATCH methods of the HTTP protocol.
Notice: Due to the HTTP protocol definition, PHP and therefore Laravel, recibes values for this methods ONLY when are sent using the www-url-encode way instead of form-params.
During the class you are going to develop the functions to remove nested resources or in specific cases to remove the relationship between them.
In this case you are going to:
The destroy method responses to the DELETE method of the HTTP protocol and delete an element or a relationship from the database.
PS: At the moment to remove an element you have to be careful with the foreign keys because a course can not be deleted witouth remove all the relationships with the students.
During this lecture you are going to meet OAuth2, a mechanism to validate requests and the access to specific resoruces or operations, giving a more detailed ans specific control hover the resources.
During this section you are going to add the OAuth2 Server as a dependency of your Lumen project and then install all the required database tables, values and files for the configuration.
The OAuth2 server is almost done, you need to add a grant_type to obtain the access tokens, run the migrations and create a client to test how it is working.
During this class you are going to finally specify which routes and operations you want to protect through the OAuth2 middleware.
Def: A middleware is a mechanisms that is executed before to attend a requests, if the middleware "decide" to pass the requests all works, but if not the requests is rejected. In Lumen you can execute a middleware for every request or for a specific requests.
Something can fail during the RESTful API execution and, for that reason is neccessary to catch all the possible failures in a firendly way and avoid unexpected behaviours.
During the development somethings lost the speed and efficiency, so it is neccessary to run som specific tasks to restore the original efficiency and works at the 100% of capacity.
Verify if you know why are important these details
Nothing is finished yet! The course is going to have new classes along the time, new contents and of course I'm going to answer all your question and comments every time.
I enjoy transmitting knowledge and skills to the people through classes and contents. Then, see how they build their projects and tools using the concepts learned.
Continually work on improving my speech, looking for the best way to reach out the students with the central concepts and skills, I love easy but effective ways to transmit every single idea.
I appreciate every minute developing, especially when I can use my skills to implement projects that can help other developers to learn or to make their job and lives easier.
I am constantly looking to work in new projects to leverage my skills and improving the lives of people with more facilities to share the experiences and findings with my students then.
I am excited to contribute to a better world teaching people new skills and, in the way, learn through the experiences and issues of them to improve our skills together.

Success is inevitable when a hot bait gets in the hands of one of the rising stars of the Bassmaster Elite Series.
That's exactly what happened when Derek Remitz won the Battle on the Border on Lake Amistad in Texas earlier this year with a four day score of 20 bass weighing 111-07.
The top angler from last year's Bassmaster Northern Tour caught most of his heavyweights on a football jig, the key lure the last couple of years in several regional tournament wins, including the 2006 B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Western Divisional.
Remitz believes the football-style jighead has been a success on the tournament scene recently because of its ability to proficiently probe deep structure.
"You're fishing a jig so, chances are, you are going to catch some good fish on it, especially when fishing structure," said the young Alabama pro.
"You're not going to get as many bites, but you will catch better quality fish."
In Texas, Remitz keyed on prespawn bass positioned on 30-foot ledges that dropped down to 50 to 70 feet deep. He discovered the fish were staging right on the break of the ledges so he needed a lure and a presentation that allowed him to slowly probe the rocky structure and cover.
"At Amistad I was just trying to keep my lure in one spot or barely move it just along those edges because it was such a short strike zone," said Remitz.
For the task, he selected a 3/4-ounce Omega Tackle Football Jig and a Yamamoto Hula Grub because the jig was heavy enough to reach the deep ledges and its head rolled more easily over and through the rock and rubble without snagging.
Positioning his boat parallel to the ledges, Remitz would pitch out his jig and let the line free spool until the lure reached the bottom. He then made short pulls with his rod tip, inching the jig along the bottom with pauses in between the pulls.
The key to his success, he said, was differentiating between a strike and a snag in the rocks. "A lot of times I would just feel that slight little tick." At other times he would just sense a mushy, heavy feeling on his line, signaling a fish had engulfed his jig.
Dragging a football jig works best for Remitz on steep ledges, but he employs other retrieves depending on the cover he's targeting and the time of year.
During the postspawn period, he likes to "stroke" a football jig for suspended bass along drops and ledges. While keeping some slack in his line, Remitz points his rod at the bait and jerks the rod from the 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock position to rip the lure off the bottom and then let it fall back on a slack line. Strikes usually occur as the football jig falls back to the bottom.
When bass congregate on sloping points in the summertime, Remitz hops his jig 1 to 2 feet off the bottom in the same fashion as retrieving a Texas rigged plastic worm.
He uses a 3/4-ounce football jig for most of his deep water tactics, but he switches to a 1-ounce model during the summer to make his lure fall faster and trigger reaction strikes. For shallow water presentations (5 to 15 feet), Remitz relies on the 1/2-ounce model.
A Yamamoto Hula Grub is Remitz's favorite trailer for the football jig, but sometimes he chooses a Zoom Super Chunk instead. Both trailers help create a large profile bait that appeals to big bass. The top color combination for Remitz's bait is a brown jig with a green pumpkin trailer.
"I don't know if the fish will ever stop eating a brown jig," he quipped.
The Bassmaster Elite Series rookie tosses his football jig on a 7-foot medium-heavy St. Croix rod and a Shimano Curado baitcasting reel spooled with 16-pound-test Yamamoto Sugoi fluorocarbon line.

GFI Software has announced the top 10 most prevalent malware threats for the month of March 2011. The top 10 is compiled from collected scan data of tens of thousands of VIPRE customers who are part of GFI's ThreatNet automated threat tracking system. Notably, GFI researchers found that the Japanese tsunami, earthquake and subsequent nuclear disasters led to a high volume of insidious cyber attacks during the month.
"In March, we saw an apparently endless collection of scams related to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, including fake donation websites, Facebook clickjacking and 419 spam emails (otherwise known as advance-fee frauds, where the target is fraudulently persuaded to advance sums of money). In addition, we also observed search engine poisoning involving radiation levels that sent people to malware sites." said Christopher Boyd, senior threat researcher, GFI Software. "We've provided some details and a list of suggestions to help users avoid falling victim to these scams."
March also saw many other varied forms of attack, including numerous rogue Facebook applications, ransomware (which locks users out of their PCs until they call a long distance toll line for an unlock code), and the usual glut of fake antivirus programs and system defragmenters.
Scammers are also starting early in the build-up to Easter with SEO poisoning related to printable Easter cards and Skype calls from individuals who attempt to have their victim visit a URL that promotes a fake antivirus program.
ThreatNet statistics show that Trojans made up seven of the top 10 malware threats of the month. Trojans detected as Trojan.Win32.Generic!BT (a generic detection that encompasses a broad array of Trojans) continue to be the number one threat, accounting for 20.61 percent of total malware found.

A top Senate Democrat pushed back Sunday against GOP calls for a more aggressive American assault on Islamist militants in northern Iraq, saying congressional support for the operation is not absolute.
Speaking on "Meet the Press," Assistant Majority Leader Richard DurbinDick DurbinOPINION | DACA helps people achieve the American dream, don't take it away Immigration battlefield widens for Trump, GOP 'Dreamers' deadline looms for Trump MORE (D-Ill.) said most of Congress agrees with the president's authorization of targeted airstrikes against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) forces near the Kurdish regional capital of Irbil.
But Durbin bristled at calls for stronger actions focused on wiping out ISIS.
"We cannot send the troops, we must not send the troops," he continued. "We need to be sure that what we do has surgical precision to it and a clear goal of success."
Obama insisted Saturday that he would not send combat troops back into Iraq, though he declined to put a firm timetable on the air campaign and called the crisis a "long-term project."
Following more than a decade at war in Iraq and Afghanistan, lawmakers' initial backing for the operation hinges on its narrow focus on the thousands of refugees now under siege on Mount Sinjar.
"To go beyond is really going to be a challenge," he said referring to Obama's hopes of maintaining congressional support.
"Escalating it is not in the cards," Durbin said.

The first Howard Zinn Memorial Lecture is delivered by veteran journalist, Bill Moyers. Citing Zinn as his inspiration, Moyers focuses on the challenges facing our democracy. He decried what he says has been a 30-year trend toward plutocracy, where the rich get richer at the expense of the average citizen.
Howard Zinn, the political activist and author who taught for 24 years in the College of Arts & Sciences political science department, died in January. The Howard Zinn Memorial Lecture is made possible by a generous gift from Alex MacDonald, Esq. (CAS'72), and Maureen A. Strafford, MD (MED'76).

Exacty!! What other segments of society
in the same situation and others, are given
such velvet glove treatment, passes and
appeased .. over and over again .. ??
News articles - search term: unruly passenger sues airline
Challenging airlines for mistreatment
If you have been deemed unsuitable for flight, the airline must follow the correct protocol. If they dont follow standard procedures and deviate from it, you can definitely sue them for mistreatment.
The same applies if the airline refuses to board you without a valid reason. If you turn up the terminal on time, following all the rules yet they still refuse to let you board for a superfluous reason, you may still sue them.
Most lawyers will take on cases like this pro bono as there is a lot of unchartered precedences as well as high case publicity which will garner a lot of international publicity. This amounts to bad airline pr.
Thanks for the links, Starwise.
Don't other passengers have a right to fly free from harrassment and intimidation? And I'd think passengers not sitting when they are told to and congregating in the aisles (as happened in Annie Jacobsen's flight and others) would be a SAFETY issue.
This is such a "DUH!!" issue... why is the airline industry allowing itself to be hamstrung and manipulated in this manner by these stinking low-rent bullies? This will just keep getting worse and worse.

Rafael Nadal Girlfriend
June 5, 2011 by staff
Rafael Nadal Girlfriend, Rafael Nadal arrives back at his hotel with his girlfriend Xisco Perello. Yesterday, on his birthday number 25 Andy Murray beat Nadal in three sets to reach his sixth French Open final in seven years.
Sunday, meets his Spanish rival Roger Federer. Is the 25 time these two-played great tennis. Nadal has a 16-8 advantage in their meetings.
A title for Nadal would tie him with six French Bjorn Borg for most Open history.
So the old regime was restored in Paris. For the first time since the 2009 Australia Open, and only the second time since that meeting at Wimbledon in 2008, Roger against Rafa in a Grand Slam final.
Roland Garros few could have predicted this scenario two weeks ago, when a bookmaker offers odds of 18-1 in the current Federer. The 29-year-old to No. 3 in the world and without a major final appearance in 16 months was almost forgotten man. Everyone was talking about Nadal and Novak Djokovic battle for the No. 1 and if Nadal could be recovered from back-to-back "to defeat Serbia in the final in Madrid and Rome.
But it was Federer and Djokovic broke 43-game, six-month rule in the game of men in an extraordinary semi-final on Friday.
"I was not lying on the beach," said Federer after the match. "I continue to make sacrifices and, when it really counts, I'm on great occasions. Here's another chance to beat Rafa and take another French Open title. I know I have to play outstanding tennis, but never stopped believing.

Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Chair, my amendment today is simple: No bees, no food. The amendment improves federal coordination in addressing the documented decline of managed and native pollinators, as well as promotes the long-term viability of honey bees, wild bees, and other beneficial insects in agriculture.
Beekeepers and their honey bees are vitally important partners in American agriculture.
They provide essential pollination services to a diverse array of important agricultural commodities. Bee pollinated crops represent an estimated $20 billion in value annually.
Furthermore, one in three bites of food that we eat directly or indirectly comes from pollinators.
Unfortunately, our honey bees, native bees and other pollinating partners are showing signs of decline.
Colony collapse Disorder (CCD), multiple pests and diseases continue to plague beekeepers and their honey bees, as well as affect agriculture producers who depend on their pollination services.
This means that our food and job security, and healthy ecosystems are also at risk.
A recent study released by the National Academy of Sciences on the status of pollinators in North America, highlighted the lack of research and coordination in the federal government when it comes to pollinator health and protection.
In 2008, I offered an amendment to the Farm Bill aimed at protecting pollinators through additional research at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Those provisions went a long way in highlighting the seriousness of pollinator health decline and Colony Collapse Disorder.
I am pleased to see those provisions preserved and extended in this year's Farm Bill. While progress has been made, we still have a long way to go. My amendment will help address these issues.
Bee health is affected by the activities of a number of federal agencies who are dedicated to finding a solution.
But this is a complex problem and it requires a sophisticated and multi-agency response.
For example, USDA activities alone include the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), the National Institutes of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), the Farm Services Agency (FSA), the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), and the U.S. Forest Service.
Forage area for bees can be enhanced through federal programs on conservation and public lands that are managed by the U.S. Departments of Interior and Transportation.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for striking the delicate balance between pollinator health and the ability of our nation's growers to produce strong crop yields.
And, of course, agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC), as well as the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency all have a role in ensuring a safe food supply and level playing field capable of supporting our nation's commercial beekeepers.
Specifically, my amendment: promotes cooperation between federal agencies to support the long-term viability and health of pollinator populations including to share guidance and technical expertise, establishes a task force on bee health and commercial beekeeping to coordinate federal efforts; requires the production of a report on the United States' and international efforts to address the decline; requests regular monitoring and reporting on health and population status of pollinators (including bees, birds, bats, and other species); encourages agencies to utilize the best available peer-reviewed science on environmental and chemical stressors to pollinators, including giving consideration to international efforts addressing pollinator declines; as well as encourages the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct feasibility studies for the creation of a new bee lab at ARS, and the modernization of current facilities.

Vaginal Birth After Caesarean Section – Effect on Maternal Psychosocial Function

The incidence of caesarean section has reached 15-20% in most developed countries. Encouraging vaginal birth after caesareans section (VBAC) has been considered a key component of a strategy to reduce the caesarean section rate. Most medical literature has focused on the efficacy of VBAC in reducing the caesarean section rate and the physical safety of successful VBAC. However, 30%-40% of these women fail to achieve a vaginal delivery. Little is known about how the uncertainty of labour outcome and a failed VBAC impact on the psychosocial function of these women. What we do know is that antenatal depression and unplanned caesarean section are major risk factors for postpartum depression, which in turn is the major cause of maternal mortality in many developed countries including Hong Kong. We propose to study a cohort of women with a prior caesarean section and presenting with a subsequent pregnancy for care. After consent and recruitment, these subjects will be randomly assigned to have a repeat caesarean section or VBAC. The medical outcomes, overall satisfaction of the subjects with the care they received, and the short-term psychosocial function of these subjects will be studied. The result of this study will provide important information that would be useful in assisting women to decide the mode of delivery after a prior caesarean section. The Hypothesis is that there is a significant difference in psychosocial function between these 2 groups of patients.

So, where do I start? If I sell myself in a big way then I come over as arrogant - and I'm certainly not that, but apparently I should sell myself. So, with that advice ringing in my ears; "Kind, Compassionate, Caring" are just a few of the things people have said about me without receiving payment!
I don't particularly want to toddle into old age alone (although I think I'm much more likely to scream and kick.)
It is hard to say what one is looking for, after all we are all unique and we all have something different to offer. While curling up on the settee with a glass of wine and a dvd may not be the way I spend my nights now, I'm quite sure the right person could persuade me it was worth doing. I suppose thats what happens when you find the right person, you adapt, change, just as they do for you.
Anyway this is all getting a bit wordy. Basically I've been on my own too long, there is a lot of the world to see and I really am tired of seeing it alone - travelling is much more fun when you are with someone. So lets hope that someone is here!
Should be doing more with my life than I am that's for sure.
Haven't been to the cinema in ages but love a good film.
Music I have a fairly eclectic taste in - Blues, Rock, Folk - that kind of stuff

I'm thinking about getting a car that is estimated to be $41,480.
I'm not sure how much of a down payment I should do, please dont tell me a percent, I'd like an actual number if you could.
I would own the car for 3 or 4 years so if you can do it for both ways.
(The amount i pay per month is not a big deal if you think its a lot)
Im not sure if you need more info than that but I'd tell you anything else!
Most Helpful Guy
paying it in full would be the best option, you avoid interest and people who say they like to build credit off of payments, well credit hardly increases on fucking car payments, payments on a house count more towards credit.
if $41,480 is OTD, put down $20,000. pay the last half off in about 1-2 years. interest won't hit you too hard.00|00|0

Michelle Obama
June 14, 2011 by Post Team
Michelle Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama says she's been diligently studying her lines for her next appearance on the Nickelodeon series "iCarly," but she is still nervous about filming her scenes for the show. "I'm terrified," he said during a meeting with members of the writers, producers, directors and actors unions in the Writers Guild Theater to discuss joining forces, an initiative to increase public awareness and support for military families. "I can give a speech, I can talk to you all, but oh, I'm shaking, yeah."
Mrs. Obama said he started the initiative with Jill Biden, to help the nation understand "that when our country goes to war, we have families who are serving right along with them."
The "iCarly" episode that the first lady appears in (which is set on the tape that during her visit to Los Angeles) is about the protagonist's efforts to connect with her father on his birthday. Mrs. Obama is played in the episode, in which two of Carly's friends try to establish a father-daughter birthday web chat.
"The story is very sweet," she said. "They have a webcast, and Carlos is a military child, and has always been a part of the script -. That has been a part of the situation her father has been deployed and is just a way to recognize their challenges, and, how their friends are a step forward for your support. So I'm pretty excited about it. "
Mrs. Obama said her daughters are "iCarly" The fans, so its role in the series makes it "the best mom in the face of the planet." He added that the episode is a perfect example of how the stories of military families are perfectly adapted to our daily entertainment.
She hopes the initiative to join forces to inspire Americans to understand the sacrifices made by military personnel and their families, and to appreciate it becomes part of our national fabric.
"Ultimately, this is not just about the stories, but to have men and women and their families who serve our country every day feel the gratitude of a grateful nation," Obama said. "If we set this foundation, not only for today but for ever, whether the president is in office, this is a part of who we are as Americans and to lift these families up … then we have success. "
During the program an hour, Mrs. Obama shared the stage with a National Guard pilot, a retired soldier and the wife of an Army officer. Writer-director JJ Abrams, whose film "Super 8″ topped the weekend box office, moderated the debate.
Service members said that simple gestures of appreciation are often the most significant, such as receiving care packages while deployed or to be welcomed home at the airport by applause, waving flags of the crew.
Obama suggested that the narrators of Hollywood, and all Americans could benefit from visits to military hospitals and military hearing stories first hand. "It is not just research," he said, "is an experience." The first lady also appeared at two private fundraisers during her visit to Los Angeles on Monday.

The Sustainable Infrastructure Finance Network supports cities to share best practice and find new solutions for financing green infrastructure. Key topics for the network include green bonds, city climate funds and business models that make use of all available climate financing mechanisms through a partnership with Citi Foundation and the World Resources Institute (WRI).
The Sustainable Infrastructure Finance Network Focus Areas
Cities participating in the network have prioritized five focus areas around which they are actively sharing policies, strategies, ideas and challenges with one another. The focus areas are:
Sustainable infrastructure principles and decision-making frameworks
Access to global infrastructure finance experts and service providers
Training and capacity building, development of tools, and joint research on sustainable infrastructure finance
Bilateral or multicity collaboration on specific projects, programmes or policies
Matching city projects with private sector investment.
The Sustainable Infrastructure Finance Network is led by Boston.
"The C40 Sustainable Infrastructure Finance Network is a critical link between the City Energy Project in Boston and global cities and thought leaders that can help us build the on-ramps for private investors we need, creating the projects that will attract investment. The Network provides us an understanding of how other cities are using the tools of finance to improve the quality of sustainable infrastructure and energy efficiency projects from the investor standpoint. From London to Sydney, I have been introduced to city leaders and experts who are thinking about financing energy efficiency in new ways. I cannot imagine achieving the impact we envision without access to this valuable C40 Network."Milton Bevington, City of Boston

… every time I let the dogs out, Licorice comes back in covered in twigs and leaves and mysterious little burrs, all "I'M A WILD ANIMAL! YOU CAN'T TAME ME!" Meanwhile, Duncan comes back inside sneezing. Because he is a delicate puppy-flower, and he has hay fever.
… both children are suddenly complaining that they "don't have any clothes that fit," as if it's somehow MY fault that they grew since last year. Also, at 15 and 17, they seem unable to grasp the concept that 10 minutes before the bus comes is not the most optimal time to start demanding I find them some larger shorts. (I'm good, but I'm not THAT good.) I bought Monkey 5 new pairs of shorts after confirming that, yes, every pair of shorts he had magically shrunk over the winter. The first morning he wore a pair, I asked him if they felt alright and he said, "Yes, they're comfortable and easy to wear!" This prompted a conversation about the extreme (comparative) difficulty of wearing jeans (don't ask me; I'm just as confused as you are), and for WEEKS he then appeared in the kitchen each morning, struck a pose, and announced that his shorts were easy to wear. I really have no idea what that's about but it makes me laugh every time.
… tiny ants. TINY ANTS IN MY HOUSE EVERYWHERE OMG MAKE IT STOP.
… everyone suddenly seems very interested in their grades. I am amused by this. I mean, you couldn't be bothered for the last 9 months, why start caring now? Er, I mean… great job, kids…? (Related: I think we're all ready for this school year to be over.) (more…)

- Goryo
- Also onryo. Unquiet or vengeful spirits, typically of those who have died violently or unhappily and without appropriate rites. Unless pacified, normally by Buddhist rites but exceptionally by enshrinement as a kami (see for example Sugawara, Michizane) they may haunt or inflict suffering on the living. A belief in goryo or onryo and the necessity to pacify them underlies much traditional and modem Japanese religion and is a favourite theme of the new religions, many of which aim to reinforce ancestor-reverence. The pacification of ancestors is also seen as a form of purification, an expulsion of evil and an expression of filial piety, thus answering to magical, soteriological and moral dimensions of the Japanese religious tradition.See Goryo-e.

Home Canterbury News Article
Published: 00:01, 31 May 2014 |
Cyclists are gearing up to bare all today for a naked bike ride through Canterbury.
But they have been hit with a series of stiff new rules after last year's event sparked complaints to police about "inappropriate behaviour".
The riders are due to meet at Canterbury Castle at 2pm to set off on the World Naked Bike Ride at 3pm before finishing at the city council offices in Military Road.
Those who only want to leer at the riders have been warned to stay away, with those taking part told not to pose naked with spectators - and to cover themselves up if they become "aroused".
Organiser Simon Terry said: "Regrettably, we were let down by a small minority of the participants in the 2013 ride, who ignored our requests and also behaved inappropriately.
"In short, they were there for their own benefit and not for the benefit and purpose of promoting and supporting the World Naked Bike Ride."
Following discussions with police bosses, organisers have arranged for the ride to go ahead as long as restrictions are followed.
Mr Terry added: "If you are thinking of coming to the start or finish area not to participate but just because you 'like seeing naked girls' (as one creep told the media last year) the police have been informed and have been asked to remove you."
Riders are also being told to carry clothing with them and dress immediately if they are forced to drop out for any reason.
The guidance continues: "Do not leave your bike to approach pedestrians if you are naked. This will be regarded as you choosing to leave the ride and police could take action against you.
"Respect other riders, especially if they choose to ride naked. We have been requested not to pose naked with any members of the public."
And in a "special and important message to male participants", Mr Terry added: "Should you become aroused, you WILL pull over to the side of the road and cover yourself or dress immediately.
"The nudity is specifically to draw attention to how vulnerable cyclists are when riding alongside motor vehicles, not to draw attention to you as an individual. Nudity in the Canterbury World Naked Bike Ride is NOT an excuse for self-exhibitionism."
Police said they held discussions with organisers after concerns raised last year included reports that a man had an erection.
There is no law against being nude in public in Britain, but using nudity to intentionally "harass, alarm or distress" is an offence.

The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at AREA203 Digital (Chattanooga, TN) in January 2012.
Their recruiter posted the job on a popular subsite of a social news site, and I replied to it. The recruiter seemed very excited and was anxious to get me in on a phone interview. The company was willing to pay for relocation, which is awesome. Chattanooga seems like a great place to work, and I was open to relocation at the time.
So, I was setup with a phone interview with three people. Now, for those of you who don't know, doing a phone interview with three people is incredibly awkward. All three are on a singular speakerphone (it's hard enough to hear one person) and asking questions at random times. Again, whatever. I perform pretty well on interviews regardless of the situation.
So, we get on the phone and little to my surprise, it's incredibly hard to hear. The phone interview last for about an hour with questions ranging from past SEO experiences, how you've envisioned ROI, and what you've done during Panda 2.2. I answered all of them with responses that are quite detailed.
Recruiter comes back and says I'm the top candidate. Awesome. Then, the communication stops. I end up calling him back every few days to check on the status of the position (granted, I was interviewing for 5 other positions at the time) to let him know my status. He tells me that they like me, he just wasn't sure of the next steps.
Finally, I'm at a point where I have two offers on the table. I call Area203 back, after not hearing from them for a week (after I had come to them with another offer the week before) and the recruiter attempts to get in contact with the hiring team, to no avail. I accept another offer, and politely decline further consideration.
Area203 seems eager to hire, with all of the recruiter's posts on Reddit and Twitter, but when it comes down to the actual process, they fall flat on their face. This is not the recruiters fault as he was a consummate professional the entire time but the hiring team's. If you're looking for "the best of the best" don't leave the best of the best on the market for that long. My impression was that they wanted to do a Skype interview (after the one hour phone interview) before they met me in person, so that may be your next step.
Overall, I'm disappointed in the process. Any SEO professional who is in the market for a position may want to look elsewhere, at least if you're decent at what you do.
