One Saturday evening last fall, my husband Tom and I were talking with our close friends, John and Mary Lou Hook, over dinner. As inevitably happens, the conversation turned to the latest project in our garage. We told them about the 68 Corvette convertible wed found, partially restored but in pieces, and far from being done. We talked for a while about the project, the conversation moved on, and we thought nothing more of it.
The next day, John and Mary Lou stopped by; they just happened to be in the area. Our garage door was up, so they could see the car. They looked it over, asked a few questions, and went on their way. Thats how it all started.
Over the next several months, my husband and I worked a lot of long nights and weekends getting this 68 roadster back into shape. Much of the restoration work that had already been done was not to our satisfaction and had to be redone. We kept things pretty much stock, with a few minor exceptions. We made some improvements, like upgrading the suspension for better handling, adding GT rotors for better braking, and converting to R134a air conditioning. It was a horrendous amount of work, but was equally rewarding. You might remember seeing some of the projects on this car featured in Corvette Fever tech articles over the last several issues. From the performance upgrades to the engine and suspension, to the new coat of Rally Red paint, it was looking terrific. I was beginning to get attached to the car and couldnt wait to get behind the wheel.
John would often stop by after work to see how the project was going. We knew that Mary Lou had owned a Corvette years ago and wanted another so badly she could hardly stand it. What we didnt know until then was that John had promised that, before she turned 35, Mary Lou would have another Corvette to replace the Silver 79 she had owned. In a late-night bench-racing session, John told my husband that he wanted to buy our 68 for Mary Lou when it was finished. Tom wasnt sure how Id feel about giving up yet another project car before I ever got my hands on it. It seems that every time we finish a projectsometimes beforesomebody wants to buy it. I knew how much Mary Lou wanted the car, and there would be other project cars in our future. So, we struck a deal and got busy trying to finish the car by the Hooks 10th wedding anniversary.
Just two weeks before that date, and almost a full year before the target date of her 35th birthday, Mary Lou took home her beautiful red dream-come-true. Fortunately, I did get to drive it a few times first, and its nice to know Ill at least see it regularly. Knowing how happy she is makes it worthwhile. She says, If I were to die tomorrow, Id die happy because now I have everything Ive ever wanted! The Hooks young sons, Justin and Johnny, are thrilled about the new addition to the family, too.
Look for Mary Lou racin around Central Florida with the top down. Shes one happy lady again, and the wave shell give you says shes proud to be driving a Corvette. You might see her license tag that says RACY REDif she slows down long enough for you to read it!

In 1692 - the opening of the Jewish printing house, founded by Uri Phoebus ben Aaron Halevi(1625-1715) in Amsterdam and gave impetus to the flourishing of Jewish book printing in Zolkiew(Western Ukraine) in the 18-19 centuries. I found (http://www.danwymanbooks.com) a page where I saw the imprint of ornamentation on the four corners of the page is Printing block, I found not far from Zolkiew.
The imprint of this cliché is on this page
At the corners of pages of typos that I found a old Printing block.
Maimonides, Moses. SEFER PE'ER HA-DOR [PER HADOR]. Levov: Avraham Yehoshu'a Heshil Druker, 1859.
I just wanted to know the cost of printing the old Printing block.
I found it far from Zolkiew through a metal detector, dug from the ground.
By the way it's an old Printing block I went to Lublin road, mentioned in the prologue of the Coen brothers, the parable of the film A Serious Man.=)
Whether this is an artifact of a part of Jewish heritage and what is the value of the old printing block?

SELECT a.id,
a.published_date ,
FROM news a
JOIN news_image b
ON b.id = a.id
WHERE news_type= 1 AND region = 2
ORDER BY a.id
this is my current query. I want to limit the number of row of thumb_name to 1 and it has to be ACS. How can i put it ?
Try this,...This should work,
SELECT a.id,
a.published_date ,
FROM news a
JOIN news_image b
ON b.id = a.id
WHERE news_type= 1 AND region = 2
ORDER BY a.id
Sorry , ignore the previous Query,
SELECT a.id,
a.published_date ,
FROM news a
JOIN news_image b
ON b.id = a.id
WHERE news_type= 1 AND region = 2
ORDER BY a.id
group by b.thumb_name
The 'desc' will give the result in descending order. When it is not mentioned , by default the order by column will be sorted in the ascending order.
Also make sure to mention the news_type and region fields in the where clause with the table name prefixed like a.news_type or a.region
the GROUP BY clause is in the wrong place, and actually shouldn't be included at all
besides, i think runrun wants one thumb per news item, not one thumb overall
Yes, R937 understands me right. Can you suggest solution?
hey, man, where did you go for six weeks???
what does "it has to be ACS" mean?
please do a SHOW CREATE TABLE for both tables
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `news` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`news_title` varchar(555) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`news_detail` varchar(10000) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`news_source` varchar(555) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`published_date` int(11) NOT NULL,
`region` tinyint(4) NOT NULL,
`news_type` int(111) NOT NULL,
`link` varchar(333) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`country` varchar(333) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=59 ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `news_image` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`image_name` varchar(444) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`thumb_name` varchar(444) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`image_source` varchar(111) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL,
`image_comment` varchar(111) collate utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;
The query i provided in the first post will return four news sets, each news set will come with as many thumb_name as available, which's not good, I want each news set will come with only one thumb_name, and the only one thumbnail has to be the first one in the row.
unfortunately, rows in a relational table have no sequence, so there is no such thing as "first"
it can only be based on the value of some column
shortest thumb name? lowest image name? something like that...
Sorry for my bad english. let me show my data, that would make sense ?
INSERT INTO `news_image` (`id`, `image_name`, `thumb_name`, `image_source`, `image_comment`, `priority`) VALUES
(39, '1259730015.jpg', '1259730015_thumb.jpg', '', 'Real estate agents believe home owners will be prepared for the rise.', 1),
(39, '1259730046.jpg', '1259730046_thumb.jpg', '', 'Bob Packer is unfazed by the rise.', 0),
This is data from the table news_image, as you can see there are two rows with the same id of 39, my query will give back both rows, which is not good, I only need one row, the row where thumb_name = 1259730015_thumb.jpg
why that one?
okay, let's go with the lowest thumb name per id...
SELECT news.id
, news.news_title
, news.published_date
, news_image.thumb_name
, news_image.image_name
FROM news
JOIN ( SELECT id
, MIN(thumb_name) AS this_one
FROM news_image
BY id ) AS mmmm
ON mmmm.id = news.id
JOIN news_image
ON news_image.id = news.id
AND news_image.thumb_name = mmmm.this_one
WHERE news.news_type= 1
AND news.region = 2
BY news.id DESC LIMIT 4
because... have a visit of the site http://www.diepbachduong.com/index.php/news_real. its how I intend to present the content.
Will MIN() function take string ?
did you test the query i gave you? what do you think?
by the way, that site doesn't work
I will try the query other time. It looks hard to understand right now.
Why can't you access the website i gave you ? Are you using IE6 ? Or you have javascript turned off ? That site doesn't support IE6 and it does support javascript ON.
the web site was down earlier today, but it is available now
it does not answer my question about why 1259730015_thumb.jpg instead of 1259730046_thumb.jpg
because its first row, it means its uploaded first, its the main image. Make sense ?
unfortunately you don't seem to have a timestamp on the row, so we can't use that
we can't even use an auto_increment (not generally a good idea, but it would do in a pinch)
so you're stuck using an existing column, e.g. MIN(thumb_name)

AT THE age of 24, Tim Wilson is three years into his marketing career. So far he has saved $8000, but he wants to build some capital and eventually buy a property.
Trouble is, he confesses to liking the good life. ''I like going to restaurants, seeing new bands and buying anything with new technology,'' he says.
Wilson rents with a flatmate, and after paying his bills says he puts $800 a month away into an online savings account earning 4.65 per cent. Even so he says, ''I've never really looked at investing. To be honest I've never really even tried hard to save - it hasn't been a major concern for me.''
Wilson's long-term goal is to buy a property. ''However, I understand this is going to be some time away and am really now just looking to build capital.'' Without having to sacrifice too much lifestyle.
Apart from his savings account, Wilson also has $6500 after recently selling some shares he picked up from a company share-purchase scheme with his previous employer.
Wilson is torn between just adding it to his savings - ''but this seems a bit lazy'' - or re-investing this in the sharemarket.
If it's the sharemarket, where?
''My internet research suggests that a good place to start is my investing in an exchange-traded fund [ETF]. I'm looking at ILC.AX [iShares tracking the top 20 stocks], which seems to be fairly safe and has had a reasonable return. Another option was buying a 'Share Pack' through Commsec, once again safe, and I save quite a bit on brokerage.''
What should Wilson do with the $6500 - apart from spend it - to help meet his long-term goal of buying a property?
Moran Howlett Financial Planning
Exchange-traded funds are a great way to access the sharemarket without trying to pick specific shares, and they are becoming very popular. The ETF you have mentioned is also one of my favourites, but I think you might consider an equivalent managed fund instead. ETFs are bought like shares and you pay brokerage each time you buy. With small purchases this becomes a very high entry cost and is not appropriate for a regular savings plan. An index-managed fund allows you to make regular direct-credit contributions for smaller amounts ($800 a month) without cost, and provides access to the same core investment. The lower cost and additional flexibility makes this a better option to me.
Remember the time frame for future investments becomes shorter and shorter as you near your purchase goal. For this reason, don't forget to adjust you strategy as you get within two to three years of needing the money. Stop re-investing and start making contributions to a savings account, and even start to redeem the units progressively. What you don't want is a fall in the sharemarket just before you are about to buy.
BFG Financial Services
As your long-term goal is to buy a home, you should consider depositing some of your savings into a first-home saver account.
You would receive a 17 per cent government contribution on the first $6000 deposited each year. This equates to a maximum $1020 of extra savings tax-free from the government. Also the interest earned is taxed at 15 per cent, which is at least half the tax you're paying on your interest.
However, like most good things there are some negatives to consider. You must deposit at least $1000 in four separate financial years. And the funds can only be used to buy or build your first home to live in. If you decide to buy or build before meeting the minimum four years, the funds will not be immediately available but can be applied to the mortgage once the minimum four years elapse.
The restrictions on withdrawal may help you stick to a more disciplined budget, but you should also ensure that you retain some savings in high-yield accounts for emergencies.
Obelisk Advisors
Most of us like the good life, but having the discipline to save part of your income and invest it wisely should help you grow your wealth and achieve your long-term goal.
Fortunately you have already developed a healthy savings habit by putting $800 a month into an online saving account. But it is important that you achieve a better investment return than the 4.65 per cent interest paid by your savings account.
Despite the global financial crisis, the Australian sharemarket returned 8.5 per cent annually (income and capital growth) over the 10 years to November 2012. This compares with a return of 5 per cent for cash. Australian shares are at present yielding about 4.7 per cent, or an even better 6.2 per cent when the value of franking credits is taken into account.
I would invest the majority of your $8000 cash, together with the $6500 you recently received from the sale of company shares, in an Australian share ETF.
I favour broad-based ETFs that track the ASX 200 or ASX 300. Every few months you could top up your initial investment with your new savings. Over the long term you might diversify by also investing in global shares and listed property.

BELLE GLADE, Fla. — For the first time, Florida sweet corn growers are using a branded corn to help retailers run promotions and drive consumer loyalty.
Members of the Florida Sweet Corn Exhange, Maitland, are rolling out the Sunshine Sweet brand (with "Fresh from the Sunshine State" slogan) to retailers, ahead of promotable volume in April.
The Exchange, which represents about 95% of Florida's spring corn, plans to place U.S. Department of Agriculture inspectors on shippers' docks to ensure only fancy corn ships under the label, said Bryan Biederman, assistant sales manager for Pioneer Growers Co-op. All shippers in the program must be third-party certified, he said.
"We want shoppers to get beyond the 'corn is corn' thought process," Biederman said. "We want to guarantee quality and differentiate ourselves."
Exchange members plan to market specific premium varieties selected for high sugar and improved flavor, said Brett Bergmann, co-owner of Hugh H. Branch Inc., Pahokee.
"Like any brand, there is a certain quality expectation," he said. "If the shopper doesn't have a favorable experience, (the shopper) may not buy more.
"If we consistently deliver a high quality ear of sweet corn to the consumer and everyone else in the distribution chain has done his part to get it there, the product basically sells itself on repeat business," Bergmann said.
The Exchange plans to introduce the label in a month-long promotion that begins in mid-April when Florida's spring volume hits.
The new label ties into the Exchange's "Fun in the Sun" consumer supermarket sweepstakes that offers shoppers a chance to win one of 25 stays at Jupiter Beach Resort & Spa on the Atlantic Ocean in Palm Beach County, where most of Florida's fall and spring corn grows. Other prizes include Bose wireless speakers and iPhone gift cards.
The Exchange plans to post contest details and other information on the brand's website, said Jason Stemm, associate vice president of the New York-based Lewis & Neale Inc., the Exchange's marketing and public relations firm.
The promotion includes retailer training and point-of-sale materials, a billboard campaign and a focus on social media, Stemm said.

I come to praise a rookie quarterback, not to bury him.
Considering the mound after mound of post-draft criticism that's piling on Jets second-round draft pick Geno Smith, you would think he has already become Ryan Leaf before even throwing a pass in the NFL.
No one is dubbing Smith as "the next Andrew Luck" or "the next Robert Griffin III," nor should they. But in a 2013 QB class in which no one came close to standing out like that polished pair a year ago, the question should be: "Who's the next Russell Wilson?"
Let us then reintroduce you to Matt Barkley. Before returning for his senior season at USC, he was getting buzz as a potential successor to old Pac-12 rival Luck as the No. 1 prospect in 2013, ahead of Smith and everyone else.
Instead, Barkley had to wait until Day 3, after (in order) EJ Manuel (Bills), Smith and Mike Glennon (Tampa Bay) were the only quarterbacks to go in Rounds 1, 2 and 3. But getting selected in the fourth round (No. 98 overall) by the Eagles was the best thing that could have happened to Barkley.
Though Barkley slipped because of concerns about his arm strength, size and athleticism, he will be helped by three things: location, location, location.
Chip Kelly and the Eagles have the scheme to magnify his strengths and the supporting cast to mask his weaknesses while he develops. Wilson stepped into a same situation in Seattle, with an offense that put him and his 5-10 5/8 frame in good position to use his big arm. Along the way, a top line, a power running game and a few field-stretching receivers were his most valuable Seahawks assets.
The Eagles have a need for speed with Kelly, but they already have it where it counts most—beyond the legs of Michael Vick. They have two fleet receivers, DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin, who also can dart after the catch. And LeSean McCoy is a home run threat in the backfield.
Before drafting Barkley, the Eagles selected two athletes built to help him—Lane Johnson, a left tackle more athletic than Barkley, and Zach Ertz, a prolific pass-catching tight end who had nice games against Barkley's Trojans and Kelly's Oregon Ducks last season.
The addition of versatile veteran tight end James Casey also shouldn't be overlooked. Barkley has been compared to Casey's old quarterback with the Texans, Matt Schaub—ideal for a rhythmic, quick-drop passing game. Schaub once played behind Vick in Atlanta, until he moved on to become a much steadier starter than Vick.
What Barkley did best at USC was make quick decisions, showing the ability to get rid of the ball quickly to NFL-caliber receivers such as Bills rookie Robert Woods and Marqise Lee, expected to be a top-five pick in the 2014 draft.
"You look at what he did with what he had at USC, and he should feel comfortable with what they have in Philadelphia," says ESPN analyst Herman Edwards, a former Eagles defensive back.
Edwards sees Kelly taking a page right out of the Patriots book: spread the ball around, keep moving it and overwhelm opponents with a high volume of plays. Note that New England does that without a running quarterback and with an array of intermediate targets who get open quickly.
It's also no surprise that Kelly is leaving his quarterback competition wide-open, considering his former Pac-12 college brethren have followed that path successfully.
Pete Carroll wouldn't have had such a good team last season if he had handed the job to Matt Flynn and ruled out Wilson as a rookie. Jim Harbaugh's team may not have reached the Super Bowl without the switch to Colin Kaepernick. It's the college mentality of finding the best possible passer for the program, only looking at 10 to 12 years instead of two to three.
Looking at Barkley's toughest competition, there's no comparison between Michael Vick and Matt Flynn. Vick comes with a much longer run of success, and if his head is on right as an experienced starter, analysts expect him to flourish under Kelly. But Vick, after two seasons of struggling with decision-making—a critical trait in the operation of Kelly's offense—can't be considered to have much extra footing on Barkley.
What Vick made click for a stretch with Andy Reid and Marty Mornhinweg was hitting on big plays. Hitting the consistent little ones without big mistakes was the issue.
Because the Eagles kept Nick Foles, a second-year Pac-12 prospect who lacks mobility, it sets up Barkley to jump to No. 2 status. And he will get his first chance to build on that case in Philadelphia's rookie minicamp this weekend.
Vick recently was able to beat McCoy in a footrace, but it will be much harder to hold off Barkley in the race to start in Week 1.
One NFL scout noted the college career and draft trajectory of Raiders rookie Tyler Wilson is similar to that of fellow fourth-rounder Barkley. For recent Raiders addition Flynn, the situation is most familiar to what he faced in Seattle—trying to hold off an upstart named Wilson to earn his first shot as a full-time starter.
When Tyler Wilson was breaking out under Bobby Petrino in 2011 at Arkansas, he was in the conversation as a potential No. 1 overall pick. His passing numbers weren't much different in 2012, but there's no question Wilson's draft stock was pulled down by fronting a sub-.500 Razorbacks team without Petrino.
The book on Wilson reads like Barkley's: experienced with good leadership qualities, despite coming off a far from ideal senior season. His smarts can help him bridge the gap on his significant room to grow. At 6-2, 215 pounds, he is even built like Barkley.
Another scout pointed out, however, that past Petrino pupils, a group that includes Brian Brohm and Ryan Mallett, have disappointed in the NFL. That has been the case even though they had promising arms and what used to be the prototypical frame.
It will be difficult for Wilson to displace Flynn, who has a fan in Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie. As a member of the Packers' front office, McKenzie watched Flynn develop well behind Aaron Rodgers. He gave up more to acquire Flynn (fifth-round pick, conditional '14 pick) than he received in dealing Carson Palmer (sixth-round pick, conditional '14 pick) to Arizona.
Wilson should deliver enough to displace Terrelle Pryor as the Raiders' new quarterback of the future. Flynn will avoid getting "Russell Wilsoned" again to start the season, but for an Oakland team that is bound to be bottom-tier again, Tyler Wilson will get his shot sometime in 2013.
Unlike the group of passers in the just-completed draft, there were many immediate-impact pass rushers in the 2013 class:
1. Dion Jordan, Dolphins. He's an edge pass rusher without a true position in Miami's 4-3. But on passing downs, he and Cameron Wake will form a scary combination.
2. Ezekiel Ansah, Lions. He comes with the freakish label that was once applied to another Jim Schwartz product, Jevon Kearse. With Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley inside, Ansah can at least replace Cliff Avril's production right away.
3. Barkevious Mingo, Browns. The free-agent addition of Paul Kruger, an established all-around producer at outside linebacker, was a critical move that will give Mingo a freer path to the quarterback.
4. Jarvis Jones, Steelers. He's a perfect fit in Pittsburgh, which will get the most out of his motor. The key for Jones is the return of LaMarr Woodley as a healthy, double-digit sack threat.
5. Bjoern Werner, Colts. Chuck Pagano will love the energy Werner brings to his 3-4. Werner will be able to stay on the field because of his strong play against the run and his potential in coverage.
6. Jamie Collins, Patriots. New England will find a way to get Collins on the field to do one thing as he rounds into a more complete outside linebacker: Explode upfield as a blitzer for Bill Belichick.
7. Margus Hunt, Bengals. Cincinnati's top-flight pass rush has a bank of big bodies for Mike Zimmer, and they'll make room for the 6-8 Hunt in the rotation as an end/tackle to complement tackle Geno Atkins and end Michael Johnson on the right side.
Keeping up the Wilson theme, I took Giants second-year running back David (along with Russell) in a recent Sporting News Fantasy Source mock draft, among some other potential RB2s. David Wilson had some huge games filling as a rookie last season, but don't get too excited about his potential for following fellow 2012 first-rounders Trent Richardson and Doug Martin into stud-dom (yet).
Wilson will need to shake off the fumbling issues to stay out of Tom Coughlin's doghouse for good, and though he can wow with his great speed and explosion, he does not have the same pure toughness at 5-9, 205 than departed Ahmad Bradshaw had with similar size.
Andre Brown can't be discounted as a significant factor in the Giants' backfield, either. NFL Network's analyst Brian Baldinger notes something that might make you wary of the NY situation altogether. "The Giants' offensive line just isn't that good," Baldinger said.

Carlisle's contract status to be addressed later
By Mike Wells
Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle recently met with team president Larry Bird and CEO Donnie Walsh, but a contract extension for Carlisle wasn't discussed.
Carlisle is entering the final year of a four-year deal. Walsh said Thursday the meeting was a standard end-of-season review. He said he plans to talk to Carlisle about his contract later.
"Larry and I just wanted to review the season with him," Walsh said. ". . . It's what we do every year."
Carlisle has led the Pacers to the playoffs, including the Eastern Conference finals in 2004, in each of his three seasons, but they underachieved this season. They were expected to compete for an NBA title, only to finish 41-41 and lose to New Jersey in the first round of the playoffs.
"Everybody involved feels that we are not that far off from being a competitive team again," Carlisle said. "I feel upbeat about that."
There were grumblings within the organization regarding Carlisle's failure to discipline players for on-court behavior, such as frequent complaining to referees. Bird said during his season-ending news conference that Carlisle "probably did lose the team" at times.

When Kim Kardashian began dating Kanye West, one of the things she got (well, besides a finalized divorce and a new baby) was a whole new wardrobe. West gave her a major closet makeover, and, for better or for worse, she's really stuck by his fashion guidance and leveraged her haute new relationship into collaborations with big-name designers.
And since their daughter North is BFFs with sister Kourtney's daughter Penelope, we can't help but wonder if Kanye's imparting now his style wisdom to a new pupil: Kim's eldest sis. Typically the least adventurous of the Kardashian clan, Kourtney has been spotted out lately in some truly head-turning styles that seem to have Kanye's calling card attached.
RELATED: Vote on more star style in Last Night's Look!
First up: Kanye never met a pair of complicated shoes he didn't like, and these studded, heeled, knee-high gladiators definitely fall into that category. And with his recent foray into denim, we could see him giving the stamp of approval to these destroyed boyfriend cutoffs.
And of course we all know about Kanye's commitment to wearing one look from head-to-toe. Never one to play down a statement, he'd totally okay this tightrope print pantsuit. Finally, that Miley Cyrus-approved Moschino belt and mega-bucks Birkin bag are totally in line with the major designer labels the rapper loves to flaunt.
Tell us: Do you think Kourtney's picking up Kanye's style tips at playdates? Do you like her new, edgier look?

Bristol Bay's pure waters, healthy habitat and breathtaking wilderness setting generate billions of dollars for the local economy by sustaining a thriving commercial and sport fishing industry, a vast variety of wildlife, and the centuries-old subsistence lifestyle of Alaska Natives.
Native People:
For thousands of years, the Native people of Bristol Bay (Yup'ik-Eskimo, Aleut and Athabaskan) have subsisted on the bay's natural resources. About 7,500 people live in the region, 66 percent of whom are Alaska Native. Salmon is the lifeblood of village economies and ways of life. In addition to salmon, Native communities in this area rely on berries, caribou, moose, marine mammals, ptarmigan, ducks, geese and many plants as their main sources of food.
Within the Bristol Bay region are five national parks and wildlife refuges, designated wilderness areas, as well as a number of state parks and state wildlife protection areas. From hub communities, visitors can enjoy wildlife viewing, boating, rafting, fishing, hunting, traditional subsistence activities, air tours, hiking, camping, cannery tours, museum tours, and historic sites.
Commercial Fishers:
Commercial fishing and the associated canneries have been the major industries in the area for years, accounting for nearly 75 percent of local jobs. Nearly one-third of all Alaska's salmon harvest earnings come from Bristol Bay.
Sport Fishers:
The Bristol Bay area is home to rivers and streams that are as productive today as they were thousands of years ago. Sport anglers come from all over the world for that "once in a lifetime" experience. In total, an estimated 37,000 fishing trips are taken each year to Bristol Bay freshwater fisheries, contributing $60 million annually to the state.
The pristine lakes and rivers that empty into Bristol Bay support world-renowned spawning and harvesting of all five species of Pacific salmon--king, sockeye, silver, chum, and pink--as well as rainbow trout, arctic char, grayling, northern pike, lake trout and Dolly Varden.
The region also supports healthy populations of:
For thousands of years, Bristol Bay has been untouched by development, providing optimal conditions for returning salmon. Yet plans for large-scale mineral development, such as the Pebble gold and copper mine in the headwaters of the bay's best wild salmon rivers, could change this place forever.
Pebble Mine
Foreign mining companies are eyeing gold and copper deposits underneath Bristol Bay's unique watershed. If built, Pebble Mine will:
Toxic by-products are an inevitable result of open pit mines like the proposed Pebble Mine. In fact, according to the EPA, the hardrock mining industry is the single largest source of toxic waste and has caused enormous damage to rivers and fisheries around the world. This puts salmon at great risk, as they are highly sensitive to even the slightest increases in certain metals like copper, interfering with their sense of smell, direction, and ability to evade predators.
More Development on Public Lands in Bristol Bay
The proposed Pebble Mine is not the only threat to this pristine land. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has recommended opening more than one million acres of vital fish and wildlife habitat in the Bristol Bay watershed to future hardrock mines like Pebble. These public, wild lands are integral to the health of Bristol Bay's salmon-supporting habitat, and BLM must be convinced to pursue a future for the region that supports the renewable natural resources of Bristol Bay over the short-term gains from mineral extraction.
National Wildlife Federation is working with a growing coalition to stop the Pebble Mine and safeguard the irreplaceable resources of Bristol Bay. Native communities, sport and commercial anglers, conservation groups, and NWF's Alaska affiliate, the Renewable Resources Coalition, are all working together toward this common vision.
NWF's Three-Pronged Strategy:
As wild salmon runs disappear from the planet, Bristol Bay remains a place of international significance, providing a refuge for salmon and the people and wildlife that depend on them. Let's make sure that Bristol Bay is managed for its natural resources so that future generations can enjoy this wilderness paradise.
NWF would like to thank our "Bristol Bay Stewards", dedicated donors who give gifts of $1,000 or more to protect the prolific fisheries and resources of Alaska's Bristol Bay:

Install ApplicationRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
Turn me to your favourite setting
Then get ready for a wetting
A slight twist can affect my strength
And my tail can vary by length
How might you be refreshed today?
I think you might enjoy my spray
By design I am full of holes
I'll help you reach your cleaning goals
But to assist in this pursuit
You must be in your birthday suit
What am I?
HintThe title holds another clue
Divide the first word into two
Answera showerhead
lines 1-2:
Showerheads often have various settings from which to choose e.g. pulsing, continuous spray, etc.
lines 3-4:
Some of the settings spray water with more energy (water pressure) than others. So adjusting the showerhead from one setting to the next can affect "my strength". The "tail" is the hose through which the water travels.
lines 5-6:
Many people find showers refreshing.
lines 7-8:
A showerhead has holes through which the water comes out. A shower, and thus a showerhead, can help one clean oneself.
lines 9-10:
In order to get clean by taking a shower, one needs to be undressed.
For the hint, since a showerhead can be used in a shower stall, it has an "in stall" application.
For those of you who appreciate puns, it may be worth noting that if the application is installed improperly, there may be "downstream issues".

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures pointed to a higher open on Wall Street Wednesday even after a worse-than-expected jobs number in the U.S. as China's new leadership spoke of supportive measures for the Chinese economy. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were rising 47 points, or 46.22 points above fair value, at 12,980. Futures for the S&P 500 were up 2.90 points, or 3.25 points above fair value, at 1408. Futures for the Nasdaq were up 2.25 points, or 2.06 points above fair value, at 2666. In advance of China's central economic planning talks this month, the new Chinese Communist Party chief Xi Jinping said that more infrastructure investment, tax reform and giving the market a greater role in setting prices were among the top issues to address. Major U.S. stock averages slumped Tuesday as eurozone troubles continued to fester amid a finance ministers meeting and signs of gridlock in the U.S. "fiscal cliff" talks. "The rest of the year will be characterized as a gamble between those investors who believe there will be a (fiscal cliff) solution and those who believe there won't be a solution," said Jeffrey Sica, manager of SICA Wealth Management. "The overwhelming majority of investors will opt to 'sit out' the speculation, and wait for some clear direction. The market will temporarily be under the influence of short-term traders, cuing off small indications of a direction by analyzing every word spoken, and taking positions either as buyers or sellers. Until a compromise is reached, determining short-term market direction will be near impossible." Before the market open, Automatic Data Processing's employment change report showed an addition of 118,000 jobs in the U.S. in November, down from a downwardly revised 157,000 in October as Hurricane Sandy "wreaked havoc" on the job market in November, slicing an estimated 86,000 jobs from payrolls, the report said. Economists were expecting the addition of 125,000 jobs. The manufacturing, retailing, leisure and hospitality, and temporary help industries were hit particularly hard by the storm, according to the report. "Abstracting from the storm, the job market turned in a good performance during the month," said Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics in a press release. "This is especially impressive given the uncertainty created by the Presidential election and the fast-approaching fiscal cliff. Businesses appear to be holding firm on their hiring and firing decisions."

NACN ~ Nice to see you drop by. I see you post now and then in 3:10. Glad you are coming along.
Ghetto ~ Higdon says tempo is near 10K, which is probably fair for his audience. JD says 1 hour race pace, so a touch faster than 15K.
5:31ish. Had hoped to break 5:30, but am quite pleased for first attempt. Went out a bit too slow trying to make sure I didn't go outtoo fast. Closed nicely over 600m. 2nd in heat, which was supposed to be 5:20 - 5:40.
So let's review. Spent years working azz off on marathon and my best age grades to 71%. First time out the gate mile w/ no specific work and not particularly well rested age grades to 76%.

Ukiah Daily Journal
A Ukiah man was arrested Thursday on suspicion of possessing methamphetamine for sale, after a caller reported an argument was occurring, the Ukiah Police Department reported.
According to the UPD, an officer responded to the 200 block of Observatory Avenue at 12:10 a.m. March 21 and spoke with Sergio Lopez, 21, who appeared to be extremely intoxicated.
Learning the reported argument had been over how drunk Lopez was, the officer arrested him on suspicion of being drunk in public, and later reportedly discovered meth in his possession, which Lopez admitted he intended to sell.
Lopez was also charged with possessing meth for sale and booked into Mendocino County Jail.
Woman accused of beating grandmother
A Ukiah woman was arrested Wednesday for allegedly punching her grandmother in the nose, the Ukiah Police Department reported.
According to the UPD, officers responded to the 600 block of South Main Street at 7 p.m. March 15 when it was reported that two people were fighting in a vehicle. Officers found the victim, an 83-year-old woman, inside the car and bleeding from the nose.
The victim said she was giving her granddaughter, Malissa L. Warner, 36, a ride when Warner suddenly began yelling and screaming at her. When she stopped the car and ordered her out, Warner then allegedly punched her in the nose and ran away.
The victim was taken to Ukiah Valley Medical Center and treated for a possible broken nose.
Shortly after 10 p.m. March 20, an officer responded to Jensen's Truck Stop after learning that Warner was being contacted by a Mendocino County sheriff's deputy, and arrested her on suspicion of battery with serious injury and elder abuse.

TITUSVILLE, Fla. - Titusville police have an arrest warrant out for a former coach at Astronaut High School who is accused of inappropriate conduct while on a youth sports trip.
John Hackney is wanted on charges of cruelty/molestation of a minor, according to a Titusville police news release. Police said an investigation is underway after the alleged incidents, which occurred on a trip to Roswell, Ga. led by Hackney.
While there, parents said he housed three boys together in his room where the teens said he hugged and kissed them.
Roswell Police Department took over the investigation, but said after interviewing the children, no sexual activity occurred.
"He sat in his underwear on the bed, doing that to the kids, how is that not sexual?" said a father of one of the teens involved, who did not want to be identified. "It's aggravating to know someone could take your child out of state and go to a motel room and do what he did and that's all it is. To me, anything on a child where you're making advances to them should be considered a felony and it should go as sexual assault to a child."
Local 6 news partner Florida Today reports that Hackney was assistant coach of the Mighty Mites last year, a youth wrestling club established to help build the program at former state wrestling champion Astronaut High. The club competes regionally and is sanctioned by AAU and USA, and practices in the wrestling room at Astronaut High.
Hackney had guided Astronaut High's wrestling program to a state championship in 1999, had returned in 2007 from a two-year hiatus.
Just over a year later, he was removed from the job in the midst of controversy. Supportive parents and wrestlers gathered at a school board meeting, creating a scene that eventually led to sheriff's deputies being called.
Hackney was initially suspended on Aug. 5, 2008, nine months after a wrestling meet in which a seventh-grader wrestled under another name. Originally removed from the classroom at the same time, the school board later determined Hackney should have been allowed to continue teaching.

"Five People in My Family" is a Sesame Street song that first aired in the eighth episode of the first season.
In the original version of the sketch, the song was sung by an Anything Muppet family, as the father introduces his family of 5 to Gordon. The song has also been sung by Bob as "Five Fingers on My Left Hand", and was later remade as "Five Monsters in My Family". The performers differ slightly on the record and TV versions.
The song was later used as part of a "Number Medley" performed by Pentatonix in season 44.
The family
- Father: Fat Blue
- Mother: Pumpkin
- Brother: Green
- Brother: Purple
- Sister: Reddish Magenta
Album version
- Jim Henson - Father
- Loretta Long - Mother
- Caroll Spinney and Bob McGrath - Brothers
- Frank Oz - Sister
Televised version
- Jim Henson - Father
- Loretta Long - Mother
- Bob McGrath (Green Anything Muppet) and Frank Oz (Purple Anything Muppet) - Brothers
- Caroll Spinney - Sister
- A translated version of this song, with a different music score, was performed on the first soundtrack album for Sesamstraat, the Dutch co-production of Sesame Street. It was preceded by a short sketch in which the father and mother explain to their children what the word 'family' means. This piece of dialogue reveals some background information on their identity: the family is known as the Rijnwinkel Family. Other family members who are mentioned by name include Uncle Co and Aunt Rose - whose current residence is in Limburg, a Southern province in The Netherlands - and cousins Wouter, Hans, Marlies and Alinda.
- The family from this song were made as finger puppets, with a number 5 accessory, as part of the More Sesame Street Finger Puppets set.
- This is the first song that Jeff Moss wrote for Sesame Street.[1]

I've been playing this game for years and finally decided to get back into the local tourney's a bit. So far I have found there to be some issues with the mental game for me. Typically I play 1 of the 3 following ways in competitive rounds of golf.
1. Yo-yo golf.......7 or 8 birdies with 7 or 8 bogey's in the round
2. Bore-or-matic golf....... shot par or 1 or 2 over with no real opportunities for birdies
3. Fast start - fall apart...... Shot great for the first 8 holes say 4 under, then all the sudden my game slows start making a few mistakes and sink into mode 2 and finally back down to even or thereabout.
I can play casual rounds all the time and shoot anywhere from 5 to 9 under with my buddies some of which I play with in these rounds too. Most of the groups I play in are laid back easy going just for some reason I can't get past being this.
anyone have any pointers.

Coconut Dungeness Crab
Per serving
Note: You'll find cooking instructions for each component below.
8 ounces coconut crab broth
5 ounces cooked Dungeness crabmeat
3 ounces cooked jasmine rice
4 ounces cooked bok choy
½ a top crab shell
1. Bring the coconut broth to a simmer. Add the crab meat and simmer gently to warm through. Do not allow it to boil.
2. Place the cooked rice in the middle of a bowl. Spread into a round disk. Using a slotted spoon, scoop the heated crabmeat out of the broth and spread it over the rice. Pour just enough coconut broth into the bowl so the broth is level with the rice. Place your bok choy on one side of the bowl and the crab shell on the opposite side. Serve.
Cooked Dungeness Crab
2 2-pound live Dungeness crabs
Pot of boiling salted water
1. Place the crabs in the pot of boiling salted water and cook for 20 minutes.
2. Remove crabs from the water and let cool to room temperature on a sheet pan.
3. Remove the top shells. Clean out the inside of the shells and reserve.
4. Remove the gills from the body of the crab and discard.
5. Remove the legs and pick the meat from the shell. Place the crab meat in a container submerged in an ice bath to keep cold. Sift through the picked crabmeat to remove any small pieces of shell left behind.
Trade secret: Take the meat into a walk-in refrigerator and turn out the lights, then pass a black light over the crabmeat. Any remaining shells will glow.
Coconut Crab Broth
2 ounces grapeseed oil
1 1/2 pounds onion, roughly chopped
4 1/2 ounces galangal root, roughly chopped

3 cups water
3 cups chicken stock
15 kaffir lime leaves
3 bay leaves
27 ounces coconut milk
1 jalapeno
1. Place a pot with grapeseed oil in a large pot over high heat. Add the onion, galangal, ginger, lemon grass, dried chile peppers, coriander, fennel and tomatoes, and let them sweat until the onion is translucent.
2. Add the crabs and white wine, bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until reduced by half.
3. Add the water and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Add the lime leaves and bay leaves and let reduce by half.

Grapeseed oil
1 bulb fennel, cut in small dice
2 cups jasmine rice
3 1/2 cups warm water
1 teaspoon salt
1. Place the diced fennel in a pot and cover with grapeseed oil. Simmer over medium heat until tender. Remove from heat and let the fennel cool in the oil.
2. Coat the bottom of a clean pot with a little grapeseed oil and heat it on medium-high. Add rice and stir to coat. Add the water and salt and stir once. Bring to a boil and let boil, covered, for 2 minutes. Turn off heat, place over a pilot light — or extremely low burner — and let sit for 15 minutes.
3. Turn rice out on a sheet pan, fluff with a fork and let cool a little. Fold in 1/2 cup cooked, diced fennel.
Bok Choy
1 ounce granulated sugar
3 ounces soy sauce
8 ounces sake
Baby bok choy
1. Place a little water in a small pot over high heat. Add the sugar and lightly caramelize. Add sake and soy sauce and simmer for a couple minutes. Set the seasoned soy sauce aside.
2. Blanch the bok choy in boiling salted water and cook until tender. Shock in an ice bath to stop the cooking.
3. When you are ready to serve, steam the bok choy with a small amount of water, and finish it with some of the seasoned soy to taste.

The Ukiah Daily Journal
Authorities are looking for a 75-year-old woman who went missing from her home north of Ukiah over the weekend, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies responded at 9 p.m. Monday to the 400 block of Kenwood Drive for a missing-persons report and spoke with the woman's son, who reported that his mother, Elna Jean Kooperman, had gone missing from her home there. He said Kooperman suffered from the early stages of dementia and had difficulty remembering things and events, according to the MCSO.
The son told deputies that he had decided to check on her after not speaking to her for 24 hours. He drove to her home from the Santa Rosa area and arrived Monday morning to find that her vehicle was missing, the MCSO reported.
When the son checked inside his mother's home and didn't find her, he searched the surrounding area and checked with local friends and neighbors, without success. He called the Sheriff's Office to report his mother missing Monday night.
During the investigation deputies learned that Koopman also had a residence in the Dallas, Texas area, and that the son believed that Koopman, because of her dementia, may be confused and try to drive to Texas thinking she still lives there, according to the MCSO.
Deputies contacted the California Highway Patrol and requested a Statewide SILVER-alert "be on the lookout" be issued for Koopman and her vehicle.
Koopman is reportedly driving a white 2004 Toyota Sienna van with a California license plate of 5HGN279. Koopman is described as a 75-year-old woman about 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighing 160 pounds with brown and gray hair and blue eyes.
Anyone who sees or has any information on Kooperman's whereabouts is urged to call their local Law Enforcement Agency or the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office at 463-4086.

So I started my official training for a half marathon yesterday, the half is in October. I created a training program through the runners world race training tool thingy. My question is this: Is it ok to swap workouts to different days as long as you log the miles and give yourself the day in between or whatever the program gives you? The reason I'm asking is that I have school on Wednesday nights and I work all day before school (running before work is out as I'm already up at 4 to go in for work). The training plan calls for me to run 5 miles on Wednesday and 2 on Thursday. 2 miles would be much more doable in the timeframe that I have on Wednesdays and Thursdays I have enough time after work to do the 5 mile workout right. My long run is on Saturday mornings. Would it hurt my training to swap the Wednesday and Thursday workouts?
Swapping workouts?
It sounds like the 2 miler is intended to be a short recovery type run after the 5 miles (my guess without knowing what the rest of the week looks like or the paces that are suggested). Let the real experts weigh in, but in that respect I do not think the 2 workouts are interchangeable. If it were up to me, I would do the 5 miles on Thursday, skip the 2 miler, and rest up for the long run on Saturday.
Post a sample week so we can have more info.
But most likely you'll be fine swapping those two.
swap is fine, it does look like the 2 miler is an easy recovery. you could 2mi/rest wed, workout thurs, 2 easy/rest fri, LR sat. post the plan like lfp said to get more feedback.
Week 1:
July 1 Easy run: Dist 2 mi. @12:45
July 3 Tempo Run: Dist 5mi, inc warm;3mi @11:06
July 4 Easy Run: Dist 2 mi @12:45
July 6 Long Run: Dist 8 mi @12:45
I will have school until August 4th and then I get a month off before I have to go back...I'm just frustrated because I really love running, and I don't mind putting in the time, I actually look forward to my runs. My career and schedule tend to get in the way of me running as much as I'd really want to. I'm a personal trainer and a group exercise instructor so I have a really hard time balancing my workouts and running amongst my classes to keep me from overtraining. I'm determined to stick to the mileage of this schedule and keep as close to the layout as possible, but I also have to be realistic in my time restraints as well as listening to my body...
I'm also finding the paces to be reaaaaally slow for me.. I mean I'm not very fast but 12:45 per mile is just barely faster than I can walk a mile. I ran my easy run faster than the pace it had set for me, but I still took it easy and felt great afterward. That's okay right? This is the first big race that i've trained for that doesn't involve obstacles (I've completed 2 Tough Mudders and multiple other obstacle course races).
is your week usually similar? 4 days of running per week? if so, you can easily swap things around. for you, it's probably better to have more rest between workouts/LR. Rather than days, i'll do days per week, but it's saying:
mon- 2 easy
tues- rest
wed- tempo (or other workout)
thurs- 2 easy
fri- rest
sat- LR (which is a workout)
sun- rest
you could easily change that to workout to thursday, move the easy run to friday (as it will help with recovery) and also you could add in another easy 2-3 miler on wednesday, time permitting. it will benefit you. or if you want to stick to 4 days and can do a LR on sunday, do:
mon- rest
tues- 2 easy
wed- rest
thurs- tempo (or other workout)
fri- 2 easy
sat- rest
sun- LR (again, this is a workout)
as far as pace goes, the 12:45 looks right, but remember. is your goal pace 11:06 for the half? if so, the mcmillan calculator (www.mcmillanrunning.com) has recovery jogs (day after workouts) 12:19-13:11, LR 11:26-12:36, and easy runs 11:24-12:08. You could likely speed up some if it's too easy, but you don't want to make it a hard effort. also, these may not be exact if your endurance isn't up to par yet as you'd slow down as you ran farther.
I used the smart coach tool they have here on the website to put together a program. Before this I've only managed to figure in three days a week of running, amongst my cardio classes and weight training. I teach Spinning, Zumba, bootcamp classes and kickboxing. My schedule at work has shifted a bit from 45 minute classes to 20 minutes classes and I'm teaching more classes that I don't have to do with them so I figure I can now fit 4 days of running in with my two days of strength training.
I have no idea what my race pace goal will or should be for the half. I'd like to run it in under 2 hours but I was going to just sort of see how this one goes, then make a goal for the next one based on that.I'm not too terribly competitive, just love the experience of challenging myself. on my long runs (7-9 miles so far depending on the week, again not training for a race in particular until now) I usually average 9:45-10:45 per mile according to my runkeeper app. My endurance is pretty good, I do a lot of HIIT training and Spinning which I've found has helped me be able to hold a pace a lot longer with my running. I can walk a mile in 13:15 so I find the 12:45 pace almost unbearably slow. For my easy run I completed on Monday i ran at an average of 11:16 and that was running comfortably without pushing myself hard.
I think you will surprise yourself in the half. I have a friend that sounds just like you, she teaches kickbox, bootcamp, etc. She hardly has time to run with her work schedule, she is off 2 days a week. Her usual running routine is to run a long run once a week. But she is an awesome runner. All the cardio and strength work she does carries her through.
Do you train with a heart rate monitor? You can use that to determine if your easy runs are too easy.
I never follow a training program given to be 100%, I always end up changing it around. Especially the speed training sessions. I did Hal Higdon's HM program (I think Intermediate II) and I changed things up.
I make a program based on how my body handles the workouts. I know that I need an easy day before speed sessions, but I can handle a long cross training session after my speed days. I need an easy day before my long runs and a rest day after. So I just make sure I have the rest/cross training where I need them.
Yeah, you could easily swap those two. You could also move the 5 miles to Tuesday if that makes your life easier.
If you stick with this type of schedule, with the amount of cross training you do, all you have to worry about is keeping your tempo run (or whatever speed work you do that week) and long run not back-to-back. Preferably three or four days (i.e. long on sunday, speed on tu wed or thurs), but not that important. Just put in the recovery miles as your schedule permits as long as you actually do them.
If you are concerned about the pacing, it sounds like you kind of pulled it out of thin air. Jump in a 5k, see what happens, and plug the time in McMillan to see if your goal and paces are accurate.

Anthopoulos: Happ absent to rest injured back
DUNEDIN, Fla. -- J.A. Happ didn't report to Florida Auto Exchange Stadium on Saturday, the second day in a row the veteran left-hander has been absent from the Blue Jays' clubhouse.
Some might view it as an odd coincidence that Happ hasn't been seen since general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Happ's spot in the rotation was no longer guaranteed, but manager John Gibbons said Saturday there's nothing to those conspiracy theories. Instead, Happ is simply staying off his feet and resting his sore back at home.
"Why is that odd? I think they just want him to stay off his feet," Gibbons said. "If the doctor tells you stay off your feet, stay off your feet.
"He's not dead, I'll tell you that," Gibbons added, laughing.
Anthopoulos said Thursday that Happ, who had been considered a lock for the Opening Day rotation along with R.A. Dickey, Brandon Morrow and Mark Buehrle, has been battling a sore back amid two rough Grapefruit League appearances, but the club expects the lefty to be a part of the rotation. Still, Anthopoulos told reporters, "there could be two" rotation spots up for grabs this spring.
Gibbons insisted Saturday that Anthopoulos' comments and Happ's absence were unrelated.
"He's staying off his feet. There's no conspiracy. You follow the doctor's orders," Gibbons said. "Put it this way: I wouldn't read too much into it."

Hi all,
I have a problem in which some of my pages content is being cut off by the footer.
The link for the site is stark-reaches-1565.heroku.com. The login is guest and password is guest.
Observe that if you click on Product Data, the page scrolls. Now click on the Library. Notice that the page doesn't scroll (ie. the content gets cut off). Same thing with Community->Search Engineers and 1-2 other pages.
I've been playing around with this all night and can't figure out why some scroll and others don't.
Can anyone provide any insight into this?
Hi natashab. Welcome to the forums.
Now click on the Library.
Do you mean the CAD LIBRARY link? I can't see a problem with that page.
Yes that's the page. It is cut off. If you click the little arrow thing you'll see there's more content that is not being displayed.
All the HTML that is on that page is being displayed, so I'm still confused.
Oh... hmmm I wonder if it's a browser issue. Which browser are you using?
Confirmed, Safari is displaying it fine, but Firefox is cutting it off. Which I guess leads me to the next question -- which would be in a shallow case -- why is Firefox doing this? And more broadly, how would one in general go about solving these types of browser-specific problems? Are there any tools people use for this? Excuse my ignorance I'm not very knowledgeable about HTML/CSS.
Also, Safari is still cutting off the bottom of Community -> Search Engineers.
Jeesh, it looks fine on Firefox for me too. Could you post a screen shot of what you are seeing? There's not much content on that page.
Normally, if there's a problem in a browser like Firefox, it means there's an error in the code that some browsers are forgiving you for while others aren't. You can always run the page through the HTML and CSS Validators, which often picks up coding errors.
I'm not seeing any problem with the display in Firefox 16.0.2 on Linux. I've tried resizing the browser window and it produces scroll bars as and when I'd expect them.
Hi all, just to update: I figured out the problem. It was a misplaced </div> in one of my base.html files. Wow, I didn't know a misplaced <div> could cause so much grief! Thanks so much to all for your help!
Cool, glad you got it sorted. That's where the HTML Validator comes in really handy, as it picks that sort of thing up right away.

At the height of the Arab uprisings last spring, many Europeans were gripped by nightmare visions of a tsunami of migrants crashing against the continent's shores. The wave never hit, but its spectre fed a tenacious anti-immigrant populism that has concealed an important new trend: migration to Europe – and to the United States – has largely stalled. In many countries, more immigrants are leaving than arriving, owing mainly to the economic crisis that has drained jobs in the West.
That reversal is one of the great under-reported stories of 2011 (and of the preceding two years), and the numbers are startling. Consider Spain, which is on track to lose more than half a million residents by 2020. By contrast, between 2002 and 2008, Spain's population grew by 700,000 a year, driven largely by immigration. The trends are similar elsewhere in Europe.
While this fact alone will not quieten opponents of immigration, it does give countries more breathing room to repair and strengthen badly broken systems for receiving and integrating newcomers.
Although rapidly ageing Western countries are unable to attract the immigrants they need, they allow millions who are already there to suffer discrimination and abuse. Detentions and deportations take place under sometimes terrible conditions. Meanwhile, the international community collectively fails to protect vast populations of vulnerable migrants, such as the millions stranded by the recent conflicts in north Africa.
Undoubtedly, rising anti-immigrant populism must be confronted. While polling suggests that attitudes are influenced more by ethnicity than religion, both help to define identities and mindsets. Political parties in France, Switzerland and the Netherlands (to name a few) have run successful campaigns that scapegoat immigrants.
Moreover, governments from Alabama to Hungary are passing laws that undermine what should be migrants' rights. Italy recently adopted harsh "emergency" decrees that target migrants by making undocumented entry and residence a criminal offence.
Anti-immigrant rhetoric from the political extremes has fed into mainstream political discourse.
European leaders trip over themselves to declare, one more forcefully than the next, that multiculturalism is dead. Dutch politician Geert Wilders, whose Freedom Party is informally part of the governing coalition, did them one better by being charged with incitement to anti-Muslim hatred.
In the US, alligator-filled moats and electrified border fences have featured in the current presidential campaign.
Such attacks on immigration might offer some instant political gratification, but their net result is to cleave societies in which cohesion is already seriously challenged by the economic crisis. Growing discrimination in employment, housing and education affects not just immigrants and their children; it harms our societies as a whole.
With the lull in net immigration, we now have a window of opportunity to address these shortcomings. Debunking the myths about migration – that most immigrants enter unlawfully, for example, or that immigration displaces existing workers – would be a good place to start.
It would also be useful to explain that immigration is necessary for prosperity and growth in almost all countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
If ageing societies in the West and elsewhere (such as Japan) fail to get immigration right, they will be woefully unprepared when they confront the real tidal wave: the retirement of baby boomers in the coming two decades. The gaps in these countries' labour markets – from software specialists to physicians to home health aides – will be immense.
The European Union's labour force will decline by almost 70 million workers in the next 40 years; in the absence of significant net immigration (combined with a much higher retirement age), European economies and social safety nets will shrivel.
The priorities are clear. We need to understand better how our economies will evolve in the coming decades, and to redesign our educational systems to produce workers with usable skills. And, where it is clear that immigrants will be needed, we must be able to identify, welcome, integrate and protect them.
Meanwhile, our most fundamental institutions – schools, police and the courts – must be re-engineered to reflect and respond to the diversity of our communities, which is now a fact of life. Countries must learn to work together to achieve these goals, few of which can be reached by going it alone.
If our toolbox were empty, our inaction might be understandable. But examples of smart migration practices abound. Canada and the Philippines, for instance, have a well-functioning accord that protects the rights of temporary workers. Sweden has developed legislation that minimises bureaucracy for companies that need foreign workers.
And important advances have been made in ensuring that immigrant children receive the education that they need to become full members of society.
Progress is being made on the global level as well, despite the economic crisis and populist headwinds. In June, the International Labour Organisation's member states overwhelmingly approved the Domestic Workers Convention, which will substantially increase protections for a vulnerable group of workers – the majority of whom are migrants.
Meanwhile, the Global Forum on Migration and Development, set up in 2007, has quickly become an important means of fostering knowledge and partnerships.
The reason for growing international co-operation is simple: countries everywhere are affected by migration, and, increasingly, they are experiencing immigration and emigration simultaneously.
Indeed, roughly one-third of migrants nowadays move between developed countries; one-third move between developing countries; and only one-third move from the developing to the developed world.
Highly skilled workers, such as bankers and engineers, are flocking to China. Mexico, known primarily as a country of emigration, is home to millions of migrants from Central America. Millions of people in south-east Asia venture to the Middle East to work, but millions more cross borders within the region. The list goes on.
When it comes to migration, we are all in the same boat – and that boat is leaking. Starting in 2012, countries should redouble their efforts to fix it.

Midwifery Knowledge Spread Around the World
by Jan Tritten
© 2009 Midwifery Today, Inc. All rights reserved.
[Editor's Note: This editorial originally appeared in Midwifery Today, Issue 89, Spring 2009.]
Cornelia Enning teaching placenta medicine in Germany
What is midwifery knowledge and what is midwifery or obstetrical myth? What do you need to know to be a great midwife?
To me, being a really good midwife requires a curious mind and a serving heart. I have met midwives from many different countries who exemplify these values. Some do not know how to read but are amazing midwives.
Naolí Vinaver teaching rebozo techniques in China
I ask again: What do we need to know to be a good midwife? I believe that we need to think about this because we are poised to be a real part of the health care system of this country. One answer to our health care crisis is midwives and out-of-hospital birth, where motherbaby has the best chance for a great start. That answer will also lead us to the kind of information we want to learn and spread around the birth world.
Angelina Martinez Miranda teaching cupping in Philadelphia
One of my main goals in doing conferences in different parts of the world is to gain unique knowledge, techniques and insights, and take that information to other parts of the world that can benefit from it. The other way to spread this midwifery knowledge from around the world is to bring it to the US at the conferences Midwifery Today presents here.
Penny Simkin teaching in China
I've seen that each culture that has not been taken over by interventive, mainstream medical birth culture has a lot to offer the rest of the world in terms of midwifery knowledge. When the Western medical model subsumes the practice of midwifery, we have to look to the old midwives in the culture to find the pearls of practice. This is not to say that we accept all of their ideas without discernment. There are, of course, many myths woven through the pearls of wisdom.
Sharing more rebozo techniques in Costa Rica
There are also the rich places where knowledge springs from the practitioners—either recent or newly incorporated into birth work. Some examples of this are cranial sacral therapy, massage therapy and homeopathy, which is older but still within that parameter. So much has recently been learned about the abilities of unborn and newborn babies that we can also study in depth.
Mayan midwives sharing techniques in Costa Rica
One of the richest places I have found in midwifery, herbal and healing knowledge is Mexico. It is unique in the world with the use of the rebozo in prenatal, birth and postpartum care. The "shawl" (see photo) is used to help women get pregnant, get babies ideally positioned, relax mom, move stalled labor along, "close the bones" postpartum and dozens of other specific uses. These midwives use many other massages in birth care. They also use the steam bath after birth and what looks like Chinese Medicine. Midwives from Mexico have taught this at many of our 50 conferences, thus midwives from other countries learn to use it. My friend Marta in Denmark used and taught it there and it has come into fairly regular practice among many midwives there. You see Naolí teaching it in China in the photo. She also taught it in Japan, Jamaica, Europe and the Bahamas and will teach it again in Denmark May 13–17, 2009. This cross-fertilization and respect that we learn to give each other gives so much hope to midwifery. Many different knowledge systems exist and we can learn so much from each other; if we just open our minds and suspend our judgment we can learn and then share.
Each one teach one.

I have joined MySpace and Facebook in an effort to connect with other birth change agents. My goal is to change birth practices around the world. I am also blogging more regularly for the same purpose. I invite you to read my blog (which is also pulled into my Facebook page), comment on it and link to it from your Web site or blog. Let's become "friends" on these sites!
